SB Council to discuss storm water requirements By MITCHELL WHITE

Urban storm water runoff is the single largest source of surface water pollution in Santa Barbara.

NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The Santa Barbara City Council will meet today and discuss submitting an application to the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board seeking approval of proposed amendments to post-construction storm water requirements in the city’s storm water discharge permit. Urban storm water runoff is the single largest source of surface water pollution in Santa Barbara. The Federal Clean Water Act establishes the framework for regulating discharges of polluted urban runoff into creeks, wetlands and oceans. Under the regulation’s framework, cities that have separate municipal storm water systems, like Santa Barbara, must obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System storm water discharge permit, according to the staff report. The CCRWQCB issues the permits for the city, which is required to establish postconstruction storm water runoff management requirements for new development and redevelopment within the city.

The city requires development and redevelopment projects to include storm water best management practices to control runoff in compliance with the city’s permit. The permit requirements are implemented by city Municipal Code and in the BMP guidance manual. “With significant participation and input from stakeholders, staff proposes amendments to the City’s existing storm water discharge permit to simplify the requirements, provide more design flexibility, include updates in BMP design, create equity across geographic areas within the City, and improve cost effectiveness while still Please see council on A2

Board of Supervisors to respond to Grand Jury report criticizing cannabis rollout KENNETH SONG / NEWS-PRESS PHOTOS

Tom Fruin’s 2019 “Camouflage House” art installation stands at Moser Meadow on top of Elings Park and will be available for public viewing through October.

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

At the top of Elings Park overlooking the ocean, a small, vibrant structure suddenly appeared on Sept. 2, and will remain for viewers’ enjoyment through October. The “Camouflage House” is a sculpture created from powdercoated steel and salvaged acrylic, with brilliant multi-colored

pieces that form a little house for admirers to enter and exit at their leisure. The Manhattan-based artist, Tom Fruin, said this specific piece is a little more personal than his others as a UCSB graduate. The Camouflage House is part of a series Mr. Fruin calls the Icon series, where he finds overlooked infrastructural or architectural items and creates art with them. “I’m trying to find things maybe

so commonplace you don’t pay attention, like a smoke stack or a billboard or a water tower, and make them fantastic,” Mr. Fruin told the News-Press. “The viewer might have the experience of re-recognizing their familiar surroundings in a fresh, new way.” The internationally acclaimed artist graduated from UCSB in 1996 with an art degree, and he’s been making sculptures, artwork and holding gallery shows ever

since in New York. “I tend to just use whatever’s around -- cardboard, rocks, twigs. I was quilting together beer cans, coffee lids, drug bags, trash I would find on my daily walks,” he said. “Surprisingly, they turned out to be really aesthetically pleasing. They were meant to be emblematic of that location or my experience in that location, which directly led to the Camouflage Please see HOUSE on A2

The Camouflage House doesn’t necessarily blend in with its surroundings, something artist Tom Fruin says is partly a joke and partly the grassy appearance of one side.

In June, the Santa Barbara County Grand Jury issued a report titled “Cannabis” that was critical of the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors’ public process for its ordinance allowing local cannabis production. Today, the board will vote on a written response for its chair to sign and send to the presiding judge of the Santa Barbara Superior Court. According to the drafted response that the board will consider at today’s meeting, the Grand Jury report made 12 findings. Findings regarding the board’s public process include that the Board of Supervisors inadequately considered the impact of cannabis production on the health and safety of Santa Barbara County residents; created an ad hoc subcommittee on cannabis not open to the public that lacked transparency, and granted unfettered and undisclosed access to cannabis industry lobbyists during the creation of cannabis ordinances. The report also made findings that there is a conflict between cannabis production and traditional agriculture in Santa Barbara County, that the amount of cannabis production allowed under current ordinances is excessive and led to overconcentration, that the board’s unverified affidavit system doesn’t require proof of prior cannabis operations to establish eligibility to keep growing legal cannabis, that the affidavit system doesn’t require

While the board will implement the report’s recommendation that it involve the County TreasurerTax Collector in creating future ordinances, it will not implement any of the other recommendations suggested by the Grand Jury. proof of prior scope of cannabis acreage, that taxing cannabis according to gross receipts is less reliable than according to square footage, that the County treasurer-tax collector wasn’t included in creating the cannabis ordinance’s tax portions, that members of the County Chief Executive Office successfully got a one mile buffer recommendation eliminated without the board’s knowledge, that there has not been effective odor control for cannabis cultivation, and that the Board of Supervisors doesn’t have a Please see bos on A8

Inclusivity in distance learning Vision-impaired students seek accommodations in virtual classrooms By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

W

hen Ann Wai-Yee Kwong arrived at UCSB for grad school, she knew the school hadn’t worked with a student like her in a long time. She’s blind and uses braille to understand graphs and charts in her classes. She was ushered into the disability lab in the library and found an old, defunct embosser. It couldn’t produce the graphs she needed, so the school purchased a new one. Her experience isn’t abnormal for blind or visually impaired (BVI) students. Only 16.2% of people who are visually impaired have a college degree, according to calculations made by the Cornell University Yang Tan Institute using the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2018 American Community Survey. By comparison, 33.4% of those without visual impairment have a college degree. It’s important to note that visual impairment has varying degrees of severity, blindness being the extreme. Miss Kwong works as a transition program specialist at LightHouse for the Blind

and Visually Impaired in San Francisco. She works to help students and adults integrate into the work environment. Lately, she’s been helping students adjust to distance learning. “Right now during these pretty interesting as well as trying times, it’s particularly prevalent for our younger students; they still really rely on the home environment and the family to support their education,” she said. Each time a new website is introduced, BVI students have to learn the layout of the screen and the function of the buttons. A tool called a screen reader gives an auditory reading of the page, but some websites aren’t compatible. She says Zoom, a software many teachers use to hold classes virtually, is pretty accessible with her screen readers. That is until the professor shares their screen with the students, which they often do. She wishes more instructors knew to explain the visuals. Many teachers like to point at things, without saying aloud what they’re pointing at. And BVI students have to guess what the rest of the class can see. Please see learning on A4

When Miss Kwong started doing research in college, she had to get a librarian to help her understand each research database. But students right now can’t sit down with their school librarians. She wonders how hard it would be if she had started college virtually. She learned a lot on campus that she now uses as a virtual student. Like, she learned to ask a

professor for the list of required materials five to six weeks before the class starts. She gets the list, takes it to the California Department of Rehabilitation to help her get a digital textbook compatible with her screen reader. Professors often add books, though, or create handouts closer to the class date, and it makes it hard for BVI students to get the materials in time. “I wish that whatever platform that a professor or a teacher is using, that it’s as universal

as universally designed and accessible as possible before they choose to use that platform. And I think that’s a big ask,” Miss Kwong said. “It’s often difficult if you are not familiar with disabilities and accommodations to know if it’s accessible.” She understands why teachers can struggle with accessibility, but wishes accommodations would be in place before a blind or visually impaired student steps on campus — or logs online. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Next year will be a milestone for her as she will be turning 50. How in the world do we celebrate her 50th birthday when we will be thinking about the one-year anniversary of her brother’s death? Some friends suggested we have her birthday celebration a few days early, which I feel is not right. Please help. — Carole in Arizona Dear Carole: I’m sorry for the loss of your son. From now on, your daughter’s birthday will likely always be bittersweet for her as well as you. That’s why I think she should take your friends’ suggestion and separate the two events, if possible. A small family get-together around the anniversary date of your son’s death might be more appropriate for everyone, at least this time around.

CW KSBY (NBC) DAVE MASON/NEWS-PRESS

Miss Kwong is working on her doctorate at UCSB, the home of Storke Tower. She hasn’t been on campus in a long time because she lives in San Francisco, working at a nonprofit.

I

The importance of simple routines and connections

just came in from watering the lawn by hand. We had an epic sprinkler breakage and had to shut off the system, but I had my hose and knew the garden needed to be watered, so with hose in one hand and a Yeti full of coffee in the other, I started what has become one of my new rituals. Such simple tasks provide a meditative moment and help to keep me grounded. Even though my heart wants to fly to Europe and walk the near-empty streets of Cannes right now, I can’t. None of us can, so we have to find other ways to be content. I can get into being a homebody, especially with the Internet, but I would prefer to do more. Routines, even boring ones, actually bring peace of mind, and who can’t use a little more of that right now? It’s harder to get back into good habits if you take too much time off. If you stop exercising or go off your diet for the summer (or the pandemic), you can lose what you’ve accomplished, as many of us have. Maybe it’s time to re-establish some old good habits and to develop some new ones. We used to go out a lot, and that has literally stopped. No restaurants, parties, or premieres. No gatherings of any kind. I am seeing clients only on the Internet (which has turned out so much better than I ever thought it would!). Adhering to the health recommendations means finding new things to fill our lives, but some old routines will also do nicely if we maintain them. If you’re used to working with a bunch of people and are now on your own, the sense of isolation can be especially hard. This is also true if you are alone with no family close by. This is another reason to be ready, willing, and able to

fill your days with things that fill you up as much as possible. It’s important to develop a system that feeds your mind and emotions and makes good use of your time. You are not going to have a suite in bliss city, but your life won’t fall apart either, not if you don’t let it. I know it can be hard to find the joy in the little things, but for those who have survived worse, a regular Saturday movie night at home can be seen as a luxury. Personally, I have gotten an audio interface and am going to do presentations on social media and maybe even some music. As long as you’re putting out positive energy, it’s not a waste of time, because you are helping others as well as yourself. We are all going to have to get creative as this plague keeps us socially distant. Maintaining your routines, keeping up a good diet, getting

some exercise daily, and having some meaningful activities as well as everyday tasks that keep you grounded will make this period much easier. It’s important to maintain human connection. Remember to reach out to others if you are alone, and folks, this is what social media was invented for (although we didn’t know about it at the time). For all the criticisms and problems, it is allowing us to stay connected in a way we could not have done without. Right now, those connections are worth their weight in gold.

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.

Stuart Rubin and Annette Rubin, husband and wife as community property with rights of survivorship, as Trustor, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH (payable at time of sale in lawful money of the United States, by cash, a cashier’s check drawn by a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state). At: AT THE NORTH DOOR OF THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE COUNTY COURTHOUSE, 1100 ANACAPA STREET, SANTA BARBARA, CA 93101, all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County, California describing the land therein: As more fully described in said Deed of Trust. The property heretofore described is being sold “as is�. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 4347 Marina Dr., Santa Barbara, CA 93110,. ** In addition to said Deed of Trust, two more Deeds of Trust were recorded concurrently to secure the same obligations described above, including a Deed of Trust dated August 21, 2017 executed by Abraham Stuart Rubin and Annette Rubin, Husband and Wife as Joint Tenants, as trustor, to secure obligations in favor of Preferred Bank, as Beneficiary Recorded on 08/25/2017 as instrument number 20170968192 of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Los Angeles County, California, describing land therein: as more fully described on said Deed of Trust; and A Deed of Trust dated August 21, 2017 executed by 1604 Sunset Plaza, LLC, a California limited liability company, as trustor, to secure obligations in favor of Preferred Bank, as Beneficiary Recorded on 08/25/2017 as instrument number 20170968189 of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Los Angeles County, California, describing land therein: as more fully described on said Deed of Trust The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to-wit: $18,669,852.43 (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. The Beneficiary may elect to bid less than the full credit bid. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located and more than three months have elapsed since such recordation. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Lender, or the Trustee. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (626) 579-5350 or visit this Internet Web site www.superiordefault.com, using the file number assigned to this case 20-05-911. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation in shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. 09/16/2020 Lender’s Foreclosure Services, As Trustee

Heidegger signs to play for EuroLeague’s Maccabi Tel Aviv

Royals hire Ghan-Gibson as baseball coach Wesley Ghan-Gibson, a former three-sport star at San Marcos High School, has been hired to succeed Jacob Pepper as the school’s new head varsity baseball coach. “Wes is a Royal through-and-through,”

athletic director Abe Jahadhmy said. “He started coming to San Marcos when he was in third grade. He was also a ball boy on the football team. “He is a natural leader with tremendous knowledge for baseball.” Ghan-Gibson, a 2014 graduate of San Marcos, starred as both a baseball shortstop, football quarterback and basketball power forward. He

Max Heidegger, whose stellar basketball career at UCSB was interrupted by a series of injuries, will begin playing again soon in one of the world’s top professional leagues. The 6-foot-3 guard has signed a multi-year contract with Maccabi Tel Aviv, an Israeli Premier League power which is set to open the EuroLeague season against Alba Berlin on Oct. 1. “This is one of the best situations in the world,” said Heidegger, who boarded a flight to Israel on Monday afternoon. “Other than the NBA, this is the highest level you can play at, and Maccabi Tel Aviv has a great and amazing tradition. “It is kind of a feeling of relief for me, with all that’s happened with COVID and my injuries. This is a great opportunity.” Heidegger, who ranks 15th on UCSB’s all-time scoring list with 1,347 points, is only the seventh Gaucho in history to make the All-Big West Conference first team more than once. He was a first-team pick as a sophomore in 2018 when he averaged 19.1 points per game — 10th-highest all-time at UCSB — while breaking a 31-year-old school record with 95 threepointers. His junior season was limited by a knee injury and two concussions, and he suffered another concussion early last season. He returned in time

continued on to play baseball at both SBCC and Cal Northridge, and served as a team captain for the Matadors’ 2019 team. He volunteered last year with both the football and baseball teams at San Marcos, and also coached youth baseball in the area. — Mark Patton

Board to receive report evaluating County Public Defender’s Office bos

Though the Board of Supervisors’ written response agrees with the Grand Jury’s findings that the affidavit system doesn’t require proof of prior cannabis operations and that it doesn’t require proof of prior scope of acreage, it either wholly or partially disagrees with all other findings. While the board will implement

the report’s recommendation that it involve the County TreasurerTax Collector in creating future ordinances, it will not implement any of the other recommendations suggested by the Grand Jury. In other business, the board will receive a report evaluating the performance of the County Public Defender’s Office. According to the agenda item’s board letter, the report, carried out by KPMG, highlights eight recommendations for the department, which the Public Defender’s Office agrees with “in general.” These include implementing

a data-driven workload tracking process to determine case assignment, and increasing operational efficiency by realigning tasks to the appropriate staff level, among others. However, the board letter states that implementing some of these recommendations “may require additional resources, budget or interagency cooperation.” The board will also hear an appeal filed by Gaviota Coast Conservancy and the Coastal Ranches Conservancy for the approval of the Caltrans Gaviota

Culvert project. The project would replace an existing culvert off U.S. Highway 101 in the Canada del Barro drainage on the Gaviota Coast, which has excessive cracking, spalling and moderate scour in its inlet wall. According to the agenda item’s board letter, the board is recommended to deny the appeal for the project. The Board of Supervisors will also receive a COVID-19 update from the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department. email: jgrega@newspress.com

Heidegger’s last game as a Gaucho came when he sprained his ankle at UC Riverside on Feb. 27. Two weeks later, the NCAA halted the college basketball season because of the coronavirus pandemic. He graduated in June with a degree in sociology and has been living in Malibu with his parents, Klaus and Jami, for the last three months. “I’ve been coming up here to work out with a couple of the guys like Amadou (Sow) and Ajare (Sanni), although their team has kind of gone into its own bubble now,” he said. “I do feel great — my ankle feels great, my body is great, and I feel great mentally, too. “I’m just excited to get going again, honestly.” He is unsure about the status of Maccabi Tel Aviv’s season, however. “They’ve been practicing already and I’ll be arriving a little late to the party, but they’ve also been on a nationwide lockdown for the last three

Date of Birth - October 3, 1926 Date of Death - September 7, 2020

“Sig” passed away peacefully in his sleep at his home in Santa Barbara, California, on the evening of September 7, 2020. A retired Electrical Engineer, Sig was known as a family man, community volunteer and co-founder of Sikama International, Inc., which he and his son Kail started in the family’s garage in 1982. Everyone liked to ask Sig about how they chose the name Sikama, which sounds like it has Japanese origins but it does not. He would proudly inform them that the name resulted from a clever combination of two letters taken from each of the three names of Sig, Kail and Mariellen (his wife), or Si-Ka-Ma. Sig came from a strong Norwegian heritage of both parents but was actually born in Los Angeles, CA and thus had dual citizenship. His family moved back to Mandal in Norway in 1933 during the Great Depression in order to find an easier life with family relatives. He survived the Nazi occupation of Norway during WWII, and as a young lad got his start in radio operation and served in the Norwegian Merchant Marines as a radio officer. He eventually made his way back to the states where he later met and married Mariellen—the love of his life—in California, with his career advancing in the direction of the radio electronics industry. Later they settled in Santa Barbara and together raised 2 boys, Kail and Jarl, while Sig worked with various companies in the industry, eventually breaking out on his own with Kail. After enjoying the challenges of running a family business in the hybrid microelectronics industry for 32 years, serving as the President and CEO of Sikama, Sig officially retired in 2014 at the age of 88. Sig was also a Rotarian of 38 years and served on various Rotary, Elks, and Water boards throughout the community. He was a long time Ham Radio Operator and member of the local Amateur Radio Club. His grandsons have fond memories of their Grandpa Sig helping them build crystal radio sets and also how he magically transformed into being the perfect Santa Claus during Christmas time—when he volunteered to suit up in red and white with his dashing white hair and beard. Sig thoroughly enjoyed his family, participating in the Boy Scouts and the Seashells with his sons and later hosting many barbeques and pool parties not only for his local grandchildren, but visiting nieces and nephews from Norway with their families. He was immensely proud of starting a business with Kail and with Jarl becoming a ENT doctor with a successful medical practice back east. He went on to write a book he called “Sig” and dedicated it to Mariellen, in celebration of their life together and 60 years of marriage. Sig is preceded in death by Mariellen (2010). He is survived by his two sons Kail (Lori) Wathne and Dr. Jarl Wathne and grandsons Reese, Curtis and Garrett Wathne; and his brother Carl in Norway along with his many nieces and nephews and their children. Because of Covid-19, no memorial is planned at this time.

On Sunday, August 30, 2020, Verna May Turner, loving wife, mother and grandmother passed away at the age of 93. Verna was born on September 13, 1926 in Visalia, California, to Lawrence and Millie Hall. On May 30, 1947, she married Charles Maynard Turner and together they raised four children, Leland, Kay, Deborah and William. Verna had a passion for Christ and enjoyed opening her beautiful home to many Bible Studies over the years. She made many dear friends through these events and held those relationships very close to her heart. She had a beautiful laugh that we got to hear when she would try to tell a joke but could never quite get to the punchline without cracking up. She loved good friends, good conversations, and a strong cup of coffee. She will be missed dearly. Verna was preceded in death by her father, Lawrence, her mother, Millie, her brothers Richard and Bobby, her Sister Lorene, and her grandson Leland. She is survived by her four children, Leland Turner (Linda), Kay Condron (John), Deborah Glass (Richard), and William Turner, her sister Joyce Brock (Richard), thirteen grandchildren and sixteen great-grandchildren. A small graveside service was held on September 4, 2020, at the Goleta Cemetery. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the Serenity House in Verna Turner’s honor.

MERLO, Jimmie Joseph

Jimmie Joseph Merlo, died peacefully, August 23,2020 at Serenity Hose with his only child, Tiffany by his side. Jimmie was one of three children born to Peter Merlo and Isabell Greenwald Mendoza in Santa Barbara on May 31, 1945. He attended Washington Elementary School and La Cumbre Junior High School. After a brief residence in Santa Maria, Jimmie moved back to Santa Barbara. Jimmie worked for the Goleta Water District as an engineer for more than forty years. He loved to fish and hunt with friends Mike Robles and Mike Renesto. He was often called “Mayor” because he had so many friends and knew so many people. In a beautiful ceremony on September 12, 2020, his family honored his wishes and scattered his ashes at sea. Jimmie leaves to cherish his memory, his daughter, Tiffany, grandson, Chase Kamin and granddaughter, Isabell Kamin as well as many friends. Jimmie will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
