Diving legend leaves legacy Lad Handelman, who died this week, is remembered for all he did

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A pioneering abalone diver. A Cal Dive and Oceaneering cofounder. A supporter of the Boys and Girls club. A founder of a spinal injury support group called Outlook, an Offshore Energy Hall of Famer, an NOGI diving award winner, a Harvard grad, as well as a husband, father and beloved

member of the community. Lad Handelman was all of these things and more. He died from cardiac arrest Monday in his Santa Barbara home. Mr. Handelman was recognized as a pioneer in commercial diving and offshore gas and oilfield industry. He grew up on the streets of New York City without the presence of his parents, so the Boys Club helped him and ultimately

changed his life, according to his wife, Linda Seals. “He was extremely generous with his time, and his whole life seemed to revolve around helping people,” Ms. Seals told the NewsPress. She said her husband did everything from helping people find jobs to sponsoring people for their citizenship, “helping them find their way in the world.” As the founder and CEO of two large international organizations,

Oceaneering International Inc. and Cal Dive International Inc.; founder of two hospital-based hyperbaric contract services companies, Clinical Hyperbaric Technologies Inc. and Oxycare Inc.; and co-founder of the Marine Mammal Consulting Group, Mr. Handelman spent more than 25 years as an environmental leader. “He started a company that became the largest independent Please see handelman on A7

Partying in a pandemic Law enforcement discusses plans to prevent COVID-19 spread By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Parking restrictions, a festival ordinance, the Public Health Order and plenty of education are all in place to prevent collegeaged students from gathering in large groups on Halloween. And local law enforcement is doubling down to ensure large parties don’t occur. Isla Vista has a history of going all out for Halloween, but with the dangers of spreading COVID19 and the recent uptick in cases in the college town, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office is prioritizing the area. “We do have an operational plan in place ready to go,” Raquel Zick, the Sheriff’s Office public

Flea Market reopens at Earl Warren

Boo! A ghost suddenly appears at State and Ortega streets. While Halloween can’t be celebrated traditionally this year, there are still many ways to celebrate safely, whether it’s virtual or in person and socially distanced.

Fear not, Halloween fans You can have fun and remain safe from COVID-19

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

While this Halloween won’t look like years past, there are still safe ways to celebrate the spooky holiday while adhering to COVID19 restrictions. For example, local pumpkin patches provide a safe, outdoor activity to get in the Halloween spirit. In Santa Barbara County, residents have three options. Lane Farms Pumpkin Patch in Santa Barbara is open through Oct. 31 from noon to 7 p.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on the weekends. With free admission, attendees can enjoy farm animals, a corn maze and the produce stand. The patch is at 308 S. Walnut Lane. See lanefarmssb.com for more information. Big Wave Dave’s Pumpkin Patch at La Cumbre Plaza is also open through the holiday from noon to 9 p.m., offering kids activities, photo opportunities and a large selection of pumpkins, with a cost-free admission.

Meerkats and other animals are welcoming guests during Spooky Zoo, a safe “spell-ebration.”

The Santa Barbara Flea Market at the Earl Warren Showgrounds, sometimes called the “swap meet,” is reopening today after months of closure. Hours are 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Shoppers can expect more than 100 vendors with lots of items to pick through. “There’s quite a variety of things that appear, but you never know until you get there,” Sue Adams, the owner and promoter of the flea market, told the News-Press. She also owns the Ventura Flea Market, which usually runs Wednesdays, but COVID19 testing at the Ventura County Fairgrounds has delayed that market’s reopening. At Earl Warren, booths will be spaced out, and masks are required. Vendors will also have gloves and hand sanitizer. “Vendors are very excited because it’s the only market around. Everything else is closed except for markets far away,” Ms. Adams said. Some booths will be open today that have never ventured to the

Santa Barbara Flea Market. There will be antiques dealers, produce, flowers and a popular plant booth. Buyers should bring cash, as not every vendor has a credit card system. Elizabeth Stewart, a Santa Barbara appraiser and author, gave her advice for shoppers. “All flea markets are hidden gems because you just don’t know,” she told the News-Press. When she gets there, she stops and waits for a sense of energy to guide her to the right finds. “There’s so much, so you can’t have any sort of plan of attack,” said Dr. Stewart, whose “Ask the Gold Digger” column appears Mondays in the News-Press. The appraiser recommends shoppers try to ignore the environment, as real treasures can be found beside cheap goods. “The context will impact your view of an item greatly,” Dr. Stewart said. “Think to yourself: If I saw this in any other environment, would I pay this price?” Dr. Stewart explained she tries to picture the piece in Please see market on A8

Road is open as well on Halloween. Attendees can also enjoy the mall’s shops and restaurants. And local residents can participate in events and activities — some virtual and some in person. Santa Barbara Ghost Tours is offering a “Dead of the Night” tour for $35 and a “Downtown Paranormal Wine and Spirits” tour for $55. Tourists can enjoy spooky stories of local resident ghosts. The Santa Barbara Zoo is holding “Spooky Zoo,” an opportunity to dress up and visit the animals and enjoy spooky decorations, photo opportunities, tasty treats and “boo-zy” adult beverages. Online reservations are required at sbzoo.org. Through Sunday, the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History is holding “Halloween Museum Mysteries.” Participants will receive a clue kit with hidden messages and a scavenger hunt throughout the museum.

If we see that there’s a large number of gatherings and a number of large parties, then we can start deploying more resources as appropriate.” Ms. Zick said campus and local law enforcement has tried to shift Isla Vista from a hot spot for college-aged students to party to a locals-only celebration. This year, they’re trying to even further localize the holiday by encouraging people to stay home for the weekend. “There’s a lot of problems that come with inviting people from out of the area,” Ms. Zick said. “We see increases in property Please see partying on A7

Art Sparks, a program at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, offers instructions on how to create art with household materials.

Museum of Art project ignites creativity for all ages By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

unk mail, salt, coffee. Who knew these mundane materials could be used to create works of art? That is until the clever teaching artists at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art developed Art

Sparks to relieve the boredom of staying home during the pandemic and to inspire people to re-use inexpensive items usually found in every home in a completely different way. “We call the project Art Sparks to ignite creativity — like a match,” Patsy Hicks, the museum’s director of education, told the News-Press. “We want to inspire them to get

away from their screens and go outside and notice trees and shadows and how the sky changes at different times of the day.” Among the free projects are a Junk Mail Collage, Salted Aluminum Collage, Coffee Painting, Geometric Painting, Shapes in Circles Watercolor, Shapes in Circles Collage, Colorful Tree Drawing and Painting in the

Sky. In very easy-to-understand instructions, the steps are outlined to complete the project along with materials needed and artist tips in cartoon-style bubbles. Instructions for the Coffee Painting read that 1 teaspoon of instant coffee should be mixed with ½ teaspoon of water, but brewed coffee can also be

used with the admonition that a small cup should stand at room temperature to evaporate moisture. One of the artist tips: “To create darker hues, let one layer dry and then paint another layer over it.” In another bubble: “Did you know? Some famous artists paint with coffee all the time! Other natural sources for water-based

Here’s the first part of instructions for coffee painting.

Steps 1, 2 and 3 show the process before paint is applied.

Steps 4 and 5 emphasize a light touch with the brush.

Steps 6 and 7 cover more of the painting process.

paints are avocado, berries and beets!” “All of the projects were inspired by artworks in the museum’s permanent collection. Frederick Hammersley’s ‘full time,’ 1951, a watercolor on paper, was the inspiration for the ‘Coffee Painting,’ and the ‘Salted Aluminum Collage’ was inspired by Please see painting on A4

abbage comes in a wide array of forms. Some are shaped like an ice cream cone. They’re bulbous and circular at the base and work toward a definitive point at the top. This variety is called a “cone head cabbage.� There is another variety that

reaches the size of a medium pumpkin, although it’s much wider than it is tall. This is the “drumhead cabbage.� I’ve seen miniature purple cabbage, fully mature, which is about the size of a baseball, and “savoy� cabbage with beautiful crinkly leaves. While many are likely not all that excited about the world of cabbages, I always appreciate new discoveries. This week I worked with one of my favorite seasonal varieties called Napa cabbage. Also commonly referred to as “Chinese� cabbage, this variety is more reminiscent of a giant head of lettuce than a cabbage. Its flavor profile is somewhere between that of bok choy, romaine lettuce and standard green cabbage. A member of the brassica vegetable family, sharing the likes of cauliflower and broccoli, it performs best in the fields from early winter into the spring months, so it is just starting to take its form as the weather cools.

This week I prepared a Chinese chicken salad using an array of farmers market ingredients. I used fresh ginger root from Her Family Farms, a nice addition for the marinade and salad dressing. Farmers Market Chinese Chicken Salad 2 medium boneless skinless chicken breast (marinated in salad dressing below), grilled and diced 6 cups Chinese cabbage, chopped 2 medium carrots, grated 1 cup sliced sugar snap peas 2 green onions 1 medium sweet red pepper, cut into thin strips

2 inch piece ginger root, if bark present remove, then grated 4 cloves garlic, minced ½ cup rice vinegar (I use lightly seasoned) 1/4 cup sesame oil 1/4 cup soy sauce 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce Juice from 2 limes Whisk all salad dressing ingredients together and refrigerate until ready to use. Whisk shake well each time before using. Marinate your chicken breast in about a third-cup of your dressing and refrigerate for about 2 hours. Then grill until cooked through. In a large salad bowl, add remaining ingredients and toss well. Then toss in a few tablespoons of dressing and taste. Adjust as needed. Top with grilled chicken and drizzle chicken with a little extra dressing if desired. Yield: Serves 4.

Napa cabbage This variety of cabbage is reminiscent of romaine lettuce, bok choy and green cabbage, all rolled into one with regards to both textural and flavor properties. This low-calorie food source is rich in vitamins C and K, as well as many other essential vitamins such as riboflavin, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine and thiamin. Also commonly referred to as “Chinese� cabbage, it is currently available from Her Family Farm, Moua Family Farm and Tutti Frutti Farm at the weekly Saturday Santa Barbara, Sunday Camino Real and Tuesday Santa Barbara farmers markets. These giant heads of cabbage, about twice the size of a head of romaine lettuce, average $3 to $4 each.

Pitaya Also commonly referred to as “dragonfruit,� this unique subtropical specimen is quite the seasonal find. Pitaya is recognized by its bright pink skin and lime green leafy extensions. Once sliced open, the edible flesh is exposed; it’s packed with small black seeds. The seeds are enjoyed with the flesh, which is texturally

comparable to kiwifruit. The flavor is similar to that of a mild melon. Native to Central and South America, pitaya grows quite well in our moderate coastal climate. To enjoy, simply slice pitaya in half lengthwise and eat the flesh with a spoon. I like this fruit slightly chilled in the refrigerator. Pitaya is currently available from Rancho Santa Cecilia of Carpinteria at the Saturday Santa Barbara, Sunday Camino Real, Tuesday Santa Barbara, Wednesday Solvang and Thursday Carpinteria farmers markets. Price is about $6.99 per pound.

Little gem lettuce This variety of lettuce looks like a miniature head of romaine. The leaves are very compact, yielding a nice texture and flavor. They’re often described as somewhere between a romaine lettuce and a butter lettuce. This variety is ideal as a general salad green, and it’s my go-to for a Caesar salad. But it is also nice when cut in half, drizzled with olive oil and seasoned, before charring it briefly on a hot grill. You can also serve the little gems sliced in half and topped with blue cheese dressing and bacon, as you would iceberg lettuce. Then you eat on a plate with a knife and fork. You can currently find little gem lettuce at all weekly Santa Barbara certified farmers markets from several local producers. Price averages $1 each.

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS

Horoscope.com Thursday, October 29, 2020

ARIES — Today you could complete a creative project that you’ve been working on for a while, Aries. You will be more than happy with the results and inspired to move on to bigger and better things. You will feel strong enough to take on just about any type of project. It’s possible that you might get started on the next one right away. Don’t wear yourself out! TAURUS — Things seem to be returning to normal after the hectic pace of late, Taurus. Life has slowed down, and the energy is lower but more peaceful. There’s also no rush to get anything done. The deadlines can be postponed to another day. You might take whatever spare time you have to just lie back and enjoy the quiet. Don’t feel guilty. You can work hard again tomorrow! GEMINI — Have you been waiting for a letter or call from a business or romantic partner for a long time, Gemini? If so, you will probably receive it today. Don’t be surprised if it’s long! News and useful information could be exchanged. You will feel energized and determined once the communication is completed. The partnership’s future goals will be more strictly defined as a result. CANCER — Your time finally seems to be your own, Cancer. There are probably no rush jobs to finish, no urgent phone calls to make, and no one looking over your shoulder. This causes a significant release of stress, and you’re better able than usual to focus on what you have in front of you. In the evening, relax at home, order delivery, and watch a movie. LEO — A love relationship seems more stable than usual today, Leo. The security wraps itself around you like a blanket as you consider the events leading up to this new sense of commitment. You and your partner may spend the evening doing nothing more than being together, which feels great! Mark this day in your memory so you can recall it whenever your insecurities get the better of you. VIRGO — Today you may not feel much like working, and you might even decide to play hooky from your responsibilities, Virgo. If you have nothing urgent to do, consider indulging this whim. Relax with a good book and a cup of tea. Watch a favorite movie. Take a long walk in a beautiful park. In the evening, cuddle with a love partner. Savor the day’s gentle energy. +*#!2 +1$)"$

LIBRA — A community issue may come up today concerning you and your neighbors, Libra. Perhaps a virtual meeting will be held. Something requires change in your neighborhood, and most of you are probably firmly united behind it. This bodes well for your future, so you will probably feel good about the entire situation after the gathering breaks up. Onward and upward! SCORPIO — A new opportunity could come your way today, Scorpio. There’s no promise or guarantee, but there is an indication that if you devote yourself thoroughly, your chances of progress are pretty good over the next month for any activity that you begin today. Keep up the good work and keep smiling! The latter action is as important as the former. SAGITTARIUS — Have you wanted to take a certain online course or workshop, Sagittarius? If so, this is a good day to consider all the details, make some phone calls, or enroll. As far as your educational goals go, you’re very focused. You’re apt to stick with any program you decide to tackle. You’re also apt to learn more quickly and retain more. Think about it, read the pertinent literature, then make some calls! CAPRICORN — Decisions regarding investments, savings, or other financial matters might need attention today, Capricorn. Don’t panic. You’re in the right frame of mind for this. Your business sense is at an all-time high, as is your ability to focus on the task at hand. Intuition plays a strong role. Even if you don’t feel like it, it’s important to get this done. Tomorrow you might not be quite as focused as you are today. AQUARIUS — Have you and a friend been discussing the possibility of going into business together? If so, Aquarius, the two of you might want to have some serious discussions now about the nature of the business, how it should be structured, and what the financial arrangements may be. You’re both sharp enough to see both the promise and the downside of your enterprise. Get some paper and pens and go to it! PISCES — Has a certain project been a drag for you lately, Pisces? Don’t be surprised if today you get your second wind. You’re looking at your tasks in a practical manner, your interest in them is up, and you’re able to accomplish them quickly and efficiently with minimal stress. Relationships should also be going well. Make the most of this while you can!

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

Editor’s note: This is another article in the NewsPress series on candidates in the Nov. 3 election. Should he win re-election in less than one week, 35th District Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham’s first order of business will be addressing affordability and economic development in San Luis Obispo County and northern Santa Barbara County. The Republican incumbent is running against Democrat challenger and Morro Bay City Council member Dawn Addis. Assemblyman Cunningam said economic development entails ensuring the district has high quality head-of-household jobs that will enable people to live on the Central Coast, a particularly pressing issue since Diablo Canyon Power Plant in San Luis Obispo County is scheduled for decommission in 2025. Mr. Cunningham said the closure will result in the loss of between 1,000 and 1,500 jobs that pay an average salary of $157,000 a year. In an interview with the News-Press, the

assemblyman said of his district, “It’s the best place to live and work, but it’s a pretty expensive place, and I think we need to be mindful of that in not enacting policies that are going to make it more expensive.� To do this, Assemblyman Cunningham

stressed that it’s crucial to protect his district’s agricultural industry. Because of this, he doesn’t support Proposition 15, which would amend the state Constitution to require commercial and industrial properties with more than $3 million in holdings be taxed based on their market value. Adopting Prop. 15 would reverse the property tax system under Proposition 13, under which residential, commercial, and industrial properties are taxed according to their purchase price. “This is just the worst time ever to be raising costs and taxes on businesses,� Mr. Cunningham said. He explained that increasing property taxes will ultimately get landlords to “pass cost down� to business owners who rent spaces on triple net leases, as it’s “the way of the world.� Not only does he expect Prop. 15 to negatively impact small businesses, but agriculture as well “It’s going to hit small business and it is going to hit ag big time, and it is going to hit the price of food,� he said.

Morro Bay’s Dawn Addis challenges Cunningham By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Running as a Democrat for the state Assembly’s 35th District seat is Morro Bay City Councilmember Dawn Addis. She’s challenging Republican incumbent Jordan Cunningham. Elected to the Morro Bay City Council in 2018, Ms. Addis will vacate her position on the council two years early if she wins the election in less than a week. Before she was on the Morro Bay City Council, Ms. Addis spent much of her time working in education, serving both as a teacher and an education program developer. Since 2001, she has worked for the 35th District’s largest unified school district, the San Luis Coastal Unified School District. Invigorating public education

is among the many priorities she lists at dawnaddis.org. She calls for increasing funding for school functions such as libraries, art and music programs, and school nurses. “We know that early childhood education, extracurricular activities and afterschool programs play a critical role in improving outcomes for students, and I’ll fight to increase funding for these programs,� her website reads. As for higher education, Ms. Addis said it too requires support and needs to be made more affordable for students. Ms. Addis is a co-founder of the nonprofit Women’s March in San Luis Obispo, which attracted a 10,000-person crowd in 2017. That same year, her advocacy earned her “Woman of the Year� for the 24th Congressional District.

Improving health care and public health is also among her stated priorities, which she hopes to accomplish by making prescription drugs cheaper, expanding senior health services and increasing funding for community health clinics. On the environmental front, the council member intends on opposing “out-of-place developments� on the Central Coast, and securing renewable energy investment and development to reduce carbon emissions in the fight against climate change. To address the negative economic impacts of the COVID19 pandemic, Ms. Addis said a “bottom-up approach� is needed. This means stimulating economic growth by providing economic relief to those most in need, low-income families and

essential workers, she explained on her website. If elected, Ms. Addis will push for gun control measures such as universal background checks for gun transfers and enhancing red flag laws designed to “keep guns out of the hands of those who pose a danger to others.� She said her other priorities include working with federal leaders to expand job opportunities for veterans, fighting for stronger campaign finance controls to restore trust in government, reducing homelessness by increasing affordable housing, and seeking additional funding for combating and preventing wildfires. Ms. Addis did not respond to the News-Press’ request for an interview. email: jgrega@newspress.com

Santa Maria mayor faces two challengers By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Candidates for the Santa Maria City Council this year are an even mix of incumbents and challengers, with the mayor and District 1 seat up for grabs. Mayor Alice Patino is running again for a third term. The city’s first female mayor has served on the city council since 2000. She has also been a board member in the Santa Maria Joint Union High School District, a member of the Marian Medical Foundation and its board president, and a Code Compliance Board member. Through these positions, she focused on expanding school campuses, raising money for critically needed medical programs, addressing neighborhood concerns and law enforcement, fighting for affordable housing and establishing a district election process. Regarding COVID-19, she took a more educational approach rather than one of enforcement, establishing the “Protect. Respect. Wear Your Mask� campaign. The mayor hopes to work on youth programs and continue to serve Santa Maria residents. Challenging Mayor Patino is former Santa Maria educator Will Smith, running for the second time after losing to her in 2016. Mr. Smith has served as a corrections officer at the Federal Corrections Institute in Lompoc, an educator and board member in the Santa Maria-Bonita School District and a local minister. He’s

also an Air Force veteran. His main focuses are beautifying the city by setting standards for lawns and exteriors, reducing crime and homelessness by stricter policing and lifting up small businesses to keep money in Santa Maria rather than giving it to bigger businesses. Mr. Smith was suspended multiple times while he was a substitute and full-time teacher at El Camino and Arellanes junior high schools in Santa Maria. His teaching credentials were revoked in 2013, but he has denied any misconduct. Finally, local barber Alberto Ugalde is also challenging Mayor Patino for her seat. He’s a Santa Maria native, and his parents moved from Tarandacuao, Guanajuato, Mexico. He opened his own barber shop, Landmark Barbers in Santa Maria, and provides free haircuts and school supplies to underprivileged children. Mr. Ugalde aims to improve public safety by brightening dark neighborhoods and adding flashing crosswalks in high traffic areas, along with improving communication with public service workers to increase efficiency. He also plans to increase affordable housing, change zoning and provide underground utilities to lower development costs, bring more events such as Open Streets and extend Downtown Fridays to bring new businesses to Santa Maria. His goals also include improving communication between city officials and local residents to increase transparency. There are four candidates

running for the District 1 seat on the Santa Maria City Council. Health care business manager Brian Billones plans to focus on affordable housing, education, youth safety and diversifying the job market. He sees these things as dependent on one another, and hopes to bring people back to Santa Maria to live and work. Mr. Billones also wants to address developments, parking and other residents’ concerns. Next up is a music professor at Allan Hancock College, Christopher Diaz. He’s running to keep his students in Santa Maria, and make the city more self-sufficient. He believes arts and recreation can enhance the city, as he holds a doctorate in digital composition. The music professor also wants to improve relationships between residents and law enforcement and make street improvements. Another Allan Hancock College employee is hoping to win the District 1 seat: Carlos Escobedo. The first-generation American currently works as a student success outreach specialist at the college, where he supports and guides students in Santa Maria applying to higher education and technical careers. He’s also a commissioner for the fifth district on the Human Services Commission of Santa Barbara County, where he protects services for individuals and families such as school programs, senior programs, counseling, case management, food, clothing, shelter, rental housing, assistance, job preparedness and more.

Mr. Escobedo’s main goals are to increase public safety by establishing trust between law enforcement and residents; promote initiatives for physical, cultural and other healthy activities and recreation for local youth; simplify the permitting process for small businesses to start in Santa Maria; and incentivize low-income housing. Lastly, nonprofit professional Osvaldo Soleto is competing for the District 1 seat. He works for Goodwill Industries of Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties as a workforce services supervisor, and his parents immigrated from Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico. The top priority of his campaign is housing affordability, having lived in crowded housing with his relatives growing up. He plans to address the housing crisis with inclusionary housing requirements, tenant displacement assistance, restricting use of shortterm leases and rent stabilization. Mr. Soleto also wants to increase the number of living wage jobs by supporting small businesses and streamlining the permitting process, and increase educational and leadership opportunities for local youth. Incumbent District 2 Council member Mike Cordero is running unopposed, along with incumbent city treasurer Teressa Hall and incumbent city clerk Patti Rodriguez.

David Gasper’s modified kart goes airborne during a race earlier this year in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series. He won Rookie Driver of the Year honors in his class after finishing third in the series.

It’s in the genes

Gasper takes the wheel from Dad to become auto racing champion By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

David Gasper was cheering at the finish line when his dad won the 2007 Baja 1000, but what he really wanted was to ride shotgun. “They wouldn’t let me go with him,� he said. He was, after all, only 2 years old at the time. But David and Dad — Big Dave, as mom Melinda likes to call him — are now making major inroads together. Gasper, now 15, was crowned Rookie Driver of the Year in the Modified Kart class of the 2020 Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series after finishing third in the series standings. “I was actually just hoping for a top-five finish when I started,� he told the News-Press. “Some of these other guys have been doing it for five years, and I’m still learning about this class.� He has a good teacher by his side throughout part of the day. Gasper, a sophomore at Dos Pueblos High School, likes to join his father at his shop as soon as his online courses end at 3 p.m. “We’ll work together in the garage about 200 hours a season, making sure the car is running smoothly for the next race,� he said. “My dad has taught me everything I know, not only about driving but also about working on cars. “Knowing how the car works is a big part of racing.� Gasper, the youngest of three

siblings, was 4 when his father bought him his first go-kart. “I was driving that thing around the neighborhood all the time — and just loved it,� he said. “He never told me, ‘Hey, I want you to be doing this.’ I just had a passion for it.� He was 7 when he entered his first race. He made the leap in classifications from engines with 20 horsepower to 60 horsepower at the end of last season. “I was pretty nervous at first, for sure,� Gasper said. “It’s a big difference for a young guy to go from 40 mph to 75 mph. “These guys drive hard — and with a lot of bumping and banging. I had to keep that from getting into my head and worrying about it too much.� He emerged unscathed from a crash last July at San Bernardino’s Glen Helen Raceway. “I flipped five times off a 20foot jump, but I was fine,� he said. “The car wasn’t in too good of shape, but we got it fixed.� Gasper persevered on a circuit that took him to raceways as far away as Wheatland, Mo.; Chandler, Mo., and Reno, Nev. “The traveling is fun,� he said. “It was just me and Dad when we drove the truck and trailer to Missouri. It’s cool spending all those hours on the road together and then meeting up with all the different race teams. “The Kittles really help us. Kittle Motorsports is a sponsor, and they drive us to all the races in their semi. That’s a big help.�

The Gaspers are looking for other sponsors for next season. They began climbing up the series standings after finishing second in a pair of races, and then winning last month’s Super Clean Duel in the Desert at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park in Chandler. Their second spin around Glen Helen Raceway, meanwhile, produced another victory nearly two weeks ago — three months after his crash there. “Not only did my driving get better, but I think the car got better, too,� Gasper said. “I was learning from other drivers. We started to nail the setup and perfect things toward the end of the season.� Next season won’t start until March, but father and son have already started preparations. “We pulled the whole car apart to make sure it’ll all be perfect and ready to race,� David said. His father and uncle Bill made names for themselves as a racing team on the SCORE International circuit more than a decade ago. David would like to establish a career of his own in auto racing. “I think I just passed up my dad in the number trophies,� he said. “He might have more championships than me right now, but I think I have more podium finishes.� And he still has miles to go before he rests.

diving company in the world,â€? Ms. Seals said. “Not bad for a street kid from New York.â€? She added he maintained safety as his top priority in all of his diving operations and that if it cost a million dollars to stop an operation for unsafe conditions, Mr. Handelman would do it and wouldn’t care a bit about the money. The successful businessman suffered a broken neck while snow skiing in 1985 and became a quadrapalegic. “When he broke his neck, there was no support group for people in wheelchairs,â€? Ms. Seals said. “So he did what Lad always does and started one. He continued to run it all these years to let people know, ‘You may be in a wheelchair, but that shouldn’t stop you.’ â€? She shared an exchange between herself and a coworker who told her, “I saw you with your husband — you never told me he was disabled.â€? Ms. Seals’s response was, “Oh, he’s not disabled; he just can’t walk.â€? No one knows the age Mr. Handelman died, because according to his wife, he never told anyone his birth date. She said he had about 12 different birth dates he told nurses, from Dec. 2, 1962 to April 2, 1986. “He said, ‘Ask me my Social Security, but I do not give out my birthday. But I’m having a party in 2050, and I’m inviting you to attend,’â€? Ms. Seals said. “He really didn’t let birth date, age, broken neck ‌ He didn’t let anything stop him or get in the way. The glass was not just full; it was full and overflowing, always.â€? Mr. Handelman served on the board of directors of the United Boys and Girls Clubs, the board of directors of the Historical Diving Society, the Santa Barbara City College Marine Technology Advisory Committee, served as a lifetime member of the Association of Diving Contractors and a member of Western States Petroleum Association. “Lad did an awful lot in the community,â€? his wife continued. “He had so many projects. He was so involved with so many things.â€? His hard work paid off, as he was inducted into the Offshore Energy Hall of Fame as an Industry Pioneer and the Association of Diving Contractors Hall of Fame. He also won the Historical Diver Magazine Pioneer Award and was featured

in Time Magazine where he talked about how he built his company. He graduated high school in Mount Vernon, according to his wife, and started his company afterward. “Evidently the board felt that he needed a little bit of polishing, and that maybe wearing the shirt and cowboy boots to all the meetings around the world might not be most appropriate, so they sent him to Harvard,� Ms. Seals said. From there, he graduated from the Harvard Business School’s prestigious Advanced Management Program. He even was a member of the Harvard undergraduate football team for a short period, before they discovered he wasn’t qualified. Ms. Seals said her husband was also very much a patriot. He would bring Boys and Girls Club kids up to their home on TV Hill in Santa Barbara, telling them, “If you’re willing to work hard in America, you can do anything, anything you want. There is no limit.� “People have said, ‘That must be difficult living with a quadrapalegic, even with help,’ but I don’t feel that way,� Ms. Seals said. “I feel like I was the lucky one, not him. “He inspired me every day, and

my life became richer because of him.� Mr. Handelman was also a great friend of the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum. “He was just a shining example of what it means to be a good citizen,� Greg Gorga, the museum executive director, told the News-Press. “He was a tough businessman with a very soft heart inside. This was certainly a loss to the museum and to the community.� He added that when it’s safe to do so, the museum plans on holding a memorial for Mr. Handelman. There are no funeral services planned for Mr. Handelman at this time due to COVID-19, but Ms. Seals said family members are planning a celebration of life in the spring. Mr. Handelman is preceded in death by his brother, Gene Handelman of Oklahoma, who died just a month ago on Sept. 22. He is survived by his wife, Linda Seals, and his children: James Handelman of Henderson, Nev., Laurie Handelman of Chico and her husband Bob, and Roy Handelman of Santa Barbara. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

crimes and crimes against persons that come with that influx of out-oftown people.� She said adding on the fact that people have been inside for a very long time is leading them to monitor the situation closely. “It is a concern, but we’re hoping that people are smart and taking appropriate precautions, this year especially,� Ms. Zick said. Anthony Wagner, the Santa Barbara Police Department public information officer, told the NewsPress that officers don’t anticipate many issues in Santa Barbara. “I think for the most part, the public has done a very good job, especially parents of schoolaged children, to be cautious in this festivity of Halloween to not needlessly expose their child to

COVID,� he said. “If you look at a lot of the large gatherings that were previously sponsored, those have been canceled, and there are no advertised Halloween festivities that I’m aware of.� He added that the large gatherings are mainly in the college areas such as Isla Vista. He also noted the city’s campaign of asking residents to wear masks if they can’t socially distance themselves on State Street has been successful so far. “Ultimately, we would want a message to get out to our constituency to heed the public health warnings of the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department in that it’s probably not a safe endeavor to partake in the ritual of knocking on doors and retrieving candy,� Mr. Wagner said. “I also think that people are probably not going to be too fond of a whole bunch of people

showing up at their door. There will be a lot of porch lights off this Halloween. “You have a young population of trick-or-treaters, and the parents are already predisposed to listen to public health directives, which is evident in us maintaining the red zone,� he said, referring to the state’s COVID-19 tiers. In a news release sent out on Wednesday, the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department reminded the community that gatherings outside of the household are not permitted. In addition, Environmental Health Services will be sending teams out Saturday night to conduct assessments at restaurants and bars, and violations may result in enforcement action. email: gmccormick@newspress. com

Westmont’s music department is doing concerts a bit differently this year. Its virtual concert series continues at 7 p.m. Friday with a fall choral celebration presented by members of the Westmont College Choir and Choral Union. The Montecito college’s choir members wear masks and sing outside. To rehearse, they’ve had to separate into multiple groups. “As part of our many adjustments for this unique semester, the 47 members of the College Choir have split into three separate groups, requiring a greater level of independence in practice and musicianship,” conductor Daniel Gee said. “I’m proud that our singers have risen admirably to the challenge, and we’ve had some wonderful moments of making music together safely and to the glory of God.

Santa Barbara baker to compete in ‘Holiday Wars’ Sybille Kroemer of Santa Barbara will be among the contestants on a brand new season of “Holiday Wars,” premiering at 8 p.m. Pacific Sunday on the Food Network. The episode features host Raven-Symone, along with judges Shimin Li and Erin McGinn. In the episode, Raven-Symone guides five teams of cake masters

and sugar artists as they face off to create “mind blowing holiday displays that are as festive as they are delicious.” Known as “The Cake Fairy” by her friends, Ms. Kroemer has lived in Santa Barbara for 40 years. She studied art in college and then pursued a career as a registered dental assistant. In 2010, she decided she wanted

The assemblyman added that Prop. 15 exempting agricultural land from property tax hikes is of no comfort because lands that produce agricultural goods all have improvements that are taxed under Prop. 15. Improvements include barns, irrigation, dairies and agricultural equipment. “The idea that there’s some exemption for ag under Prop. 15 is ridiculous,” he said. Mr. Cunningham remarked that he should be re-elected because he has a history of “delivering big ticket items” to the Central Coast

21. Monday-through-Thursday tours depart at 6:15 p.m., and weekend tours depart at 5 and 7 p.m. The trolley can fit up to 20 people and four children on laps, and the ride lasts about 90 minutes. Guests must wear masks, and food and beverages are not permitted. If customers don’t follow the guidelines, the driver can terminate the tour. Once booked, guests can’t switch the date or trolley. If an illness or without raising taxes. As an example, he cited SB 1090, a bill that he introduced along with state Sen. Bill Monning, D-Carmel. The bipartisan legislation sets aside $85 million to mitigate the impacts of Diablo Canyon closing. Part of those funds will be dedicated to retraining the power plant’s employees so they can continue living on the Central Coast. One way the assemblyman hopes to increase the number of high-paying jobs in his district is by working with colleagues in his own party and across the aisle to have U.S. Space Command establish its headquarters at

Vandenberg Air Force Base, which is currently on the short list. If Space Command does set up headquarters at Vandenberg, Mr. Cunningham said he would work to reinvigorate the California Aerospace and Aviation Commission, which would act as a clearing house should private sector space industry companies hit snags when trying to work with the public sector. Not only does Assemblyman Cunningham want to attract companies like SpaceX to the Central Coast, but Elon Musk’s competitors as well.

other settings and doesn’t make assumptions based upon the sellers’ appearances. She noted one of her most knowledgeable fine art teachers dressed like lumberjack and chewed tobacco. She tries to avoid looking up an item on her phone as she shops. If she does, she makes sure the sellers can’t see her. And she trusts her eye more than Google’s as she shops. “If you rely on what other people say as far as value, you’ll miss a piece. You’re responding on a different level than intellect,” Dr. Stewart said. One of her and her guests’ favorite pieces is a landscape painting made by a child. She bought it for its beauty, not knowing a kid had painted it, but loves it despite its low monetary value. Another mistake she sees people make is during the bartering process. She doesn’t think it’s smart to point out flaws first or throw out a lowball offer. “They don’t want to sell something to someone who doesn’t care,” Dr. Stewart said. “You start painting a picture of a respectful place for that object.” When Dr. Stewart approaches a vendor, she tries to describe why she’s interested in a piece and asks about its price. She usually counters a bit lower than she’s willing to pay to leave space for further negotiation. But if a seller prices an item way lower than its value, she said not to be harsh. And, at the end of a flea market, sellers may drop prices. But Dr. Stewart said not to hold onto hope that your favorite find will still be available at the end of the day. “Whenever I see a flea market, I stop.”

a career change and followed her passion into the creative world of culinary arts. It was the start of a love affair with pastry arts. Since then, Ms. Kroemer has been creating beautiful edible masterpieces as a side business out of her home and hopes to make it a full-time venture one day. — Marilyn McMahon

emergency prompts cancelation, the customer must still pay the $150 driver fee. If COVID-19 forces the tours to be canceled, customers will receive a full refund. The trollies are open-air, so riders should be prepared for cold or even rain. And, above all, they should expect a beautiful ride and view of the lights. — Annelise Hanshaw

WATTERS, Lawrence Deerfield

On Friday, October 2nd, 2020, Lawrence Deerfield Watters passed away at age 77 after a long private battle with two forms of cancer. Born Larry Howard Watters on June 25th, 1943, he was raised on a family farm and in the small city of Chillicothe, OH. He was drafted out of the University of Ohio, but gained special deferment into the Aerospace department of Goodyear where he worked on projects like the canopy de-icing system of the F-15 fighter and the tires for the Lunar Rover. Some of his work is still on the moon today. After over nine years with Goodyear, Larry moved to California to find a new direction and met the love of his life, Diane Stephens. Lawrence then moved to Santa Barbara, CA, and devoted himself to his wife, and raised one son with her. Those who were privileged to know him found him to be a deeply intelligent & thoughtful person, whose enthusiasm for science and friendship never dwindled. Lawrence is survived by his only son, Ross. He is also survived by his twin brother, Jerry, and extended family. A small number are expected to attend the interment at the Santa Barbara Cemetery on Friday, October 30th, at 3:00 PM (sharp).
