The Future for SBPD Architecture Board of Review requests further refinements on plans for new police station

SB County demoted to purple tier One of 28 counties placed back in most restrictive tier By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The red tier may have been nice while it lasted, but Santa Barbara County is one of 28 California counties that has been placed back into the most restrictive purple tier as COVID-19 cases rise throughout the state. According to a press release from the Santa Barbara County Department of Public Health, Health Officer Order 202012.14 has been issued to reflect business sector changes that will go into effect today at 11:59 p.m. These changes include businesses like restaurants, gym and fitness centers, places of Please see covid on A7

The city of Santa Barbara Architectural Board of Review wants to further refine the plan for the new police station to be built at the Cota Street commuter parking lot before it goes to the Planning Commission. During its Monday meeting, the board voted with five yeses and one abstention to continue honing the project by addressing key issues. These included refining the station’s architecture to a traditional Spanish style more palatable to the image of a Santa Barbara civic building, and studying the portion of the parking garage proposed for the site’s Cota Street elevation to make it “less austere.” The board thought the proposed building’s overall massing and proposed height were acceptable. According to the project’s planner, Kathleen Kennedy, the plan for the police station will go before the Planning Commission on Dec. 10, at which time the commission will determine whether the station’s height can exceed 45 feet while being less than 60 feet. As described in the meeting’s agenda, the proposed Cota Street police station would be 53 feet high and 65,000 square feet. It would also have Please see SBPD on A8

Usually, the operations division chief steps up when a fire chief retires. But when former fire chief Eric Nickel retired at the end of October for unforeseen personal reasons, the number-two spot was also empty. So Chris Mailes, then a battalion chief, was appointed interim fire chief a few weeks ago. He says the change is “unheard of” in his department. Please see chief on A7

Painter finishes mural in downtown SB By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Gus Harper usually doesn’t wear headphones when he paints in his studio. But when he’s working on a mural, he uses headphones to drown out noise outside. Passersby shouted compliments during the interview. He was just finishing up his mural outside of Urban Grow Systems, at 611 E. Gutierrez St. in Santa Barbara, and said he’d call it “Abundance.” “Urban Grow Systems is all about growth, like a healthy kind of growth. Also, right now, there’s a lot of anxiety in the world,” he said. “So many people have been coming by. I’ll be painting and there’s somebody standing there, coming just to watch this thing and just smile.” During COVID-19, he has been painting a lot in his studio. Normally, he travels, but the pandemic has kept him stateside for months on end. “I’m just as busy as ever because, especially at the beginning, we were told to stay away from people. I stay away from people and paint all day in my studio as it is anyway,” he said. “So I just have been getting a ton of work done.” Next, he’s going to paint three Please see mural on A4

At left, his last strokes, before signing his name, paint the stem of a rose. The project took him four days to paint. At right, the mural was commissioned by J.D. Ashton, owner of Urban Grow Systems. The store sells supplies and hydroponic plant systems and recently opened a nursery on site.

At left, he paints in layers and leaves room for change as he looks at the mural in its environment. At right, he wears headphones as he works so he doesn’t get distracted by passersby. A small crowd sometimes forms throughout the day as people stop to watch.

rescued my little Foxy several years ago. I wasn’t looking for her, but she just crawled up onto my lap and went to sleep, so I took her home. She spent the night with her head on my pillow, and I knew she belonged with me. It wasn’t all green grass and fire hydrants, though. She had been abused, was not socialized well and not trained at all, so we walked and worked every day to give her the most comfortable life possible, and she adapted pretty well. I was her person. She didn’t really like other dogs or people ‌ until I met my wife to-be. The day Angelika came over to visit for the first time was the last time Foxy was truly my dog. She abandoned me for the love of a tender woman, and who can blame her? I would have done the same. Then Angelika and I got married, and we’re a happy family. We always walk together, the three of us, through our village, in and out of the greenbelts and pathways, from the hills to the lake — we cover a lot of ground almost every single day. My wife holds the lead, and I get the poop bag, but it’s all good. We get exercise and have fun, because Foxy enjoys her walks and prances through the neighborhood like a ten-pound prize pony. How sweet and lovely, you say, but there is a dark side to the furry little mongrel! Foxy is now a one-woman dog — she has totally bonded with my wife and won’t go for a walk at all if Angelika is out. She just lies in her bed by the window waiting for her Angel to walk through the door, and I have to tell you, I’m feeling a little rejected, but it’s pretty cute. When Mom gets home, the dog runs, barking into my office, so I know to go to the door. She shakes from tail to nose and literally squeals with joy so loudly, you’d think she was in

pain. It’s a remarkable ritual that goes on for several minutes until the dog-child needs a drink. I understand animal bonding. My therapy dog Mercy was with me for over a decade, and we were a total item. In fact, it wasn’t until Mercy died that I decided to remarry. That’s how much unconditional love she gave me. She was ill for a year before she passed, and we went to the vet every single day for IV fluids. At that time, my life was truly dedicated to her, and she deserved it. Now my wife is getting to experience that kind of bond for the first time. You can have a very deep connection with a dog or a cat. Young or old, big or little, when your dog finds you, it’s an amazing experience, and the love you feel doesn’t take anything away from anyone else — it just makes your life sweeter. This may be why there have been so many more adoptions of so-called pandemic puppies. I need to mention here that when you adopt an animal, it is a lifetime commitment. It doesn’t end when the quarantine is over or you go back to work. Too many people give up their pets when life gets inconvenient, but by that time the animals have bonded with them, and it just isn’t fair to the dog or cat. It breaks their little hearts, and it is traumatizing for them to be back in a shelter. If you do adopt, remember it’s for life. And if your pet falls for your other half, just enjoy watching the love. Barton Goldsmith, Ph.D., LMFT is an award-winning therapist and writer.

concrete barriers to surround a parklet in Santa Monica. And he’s painting 15 to 20 pieces in collaboration with another artist. He works with businesses to inspire his murals, though he says most of them give him artistic freedom. “Whenever I start a mural, I

always start with a game plan, but I allow space in my mind for change to come in,� he said. He planned for less red when he started painting “Abundance� but grew to include more red in the final mural. He’s enjoyed working on it and finishing another mural in Santa Barbara. His first is at 126 E. Haley St. and caught the attention of J.D. Ashton, owner of Urban Grow Systems.

Mr. Harper’s clients find him through social media, word of mouth and seeing other murals. He booked a lot of murals after painting in Southeast Asia. “It’s a nice way to spread positivity,� he said. “If you go to a country where nobody there has ever met somebody from your country, whether you want to be or not, you’re like an ambassador. So it’s always nice that I can go there and give

people a positive experience and be invited back.� He paints as a gift when he’s abroad. Then, he meets locals and gets invited to eat in their homes. Eventually, he goes back to see the friends he met and paint some more. He hopes to do more work in Santa Barbara and make more people smile.

The UCSB Department of Theater and Dance is presenting “Generations,� a series of short plays created by the theater students. Directed by Annie Torsiglieri, “Generations� opens Nov. 19 at 7 p.m. via Zoom and runs through Nov. 21. The piece examines the stories of the performers’ ancestry and lineage, real and imagined. Each performer delved into his/her past to learn from it through interviews, research and guided improvisation, featuring

stories from Poland, Latvia, Mexico, India and more. The audience will get to meet these people from the past through the stories of their great great great grandchildren, and the director hopes each audience member will feel the intimacy of storytelling. The production is free and open to the public, and can be viewed at www.theaterdance. ucsb.edu. In addition to the Nov. 19, 20 and 21 7 p.m. shows, there will be a matinee on Nov. 21 at 1 p.m. email: gmccormick@newspress. com

Horoscope.com Tuesday, November 17, 2020

ARIES — You may be feeling emotionally good, Aries, but unfortunately the people around you don’t seem to share this feeling. Your first instinct may be to sacrifice yourself in order to make the path easier for the next guy. Remember that other people need to learn how to do things on their own. If someone is in a bad mood, let them be in a bad mood. You may be better off spending the day alone. TAURUS — There’s an advantage to joining people in a social or family situation if possible, Taurus. Your role today is to bridge communication gaps. Be aware of details that need doing, but don’t feel like you have to do them all yourself. This is a good time to delegate responsibility. Keep track of who is in charge of what or you could end up taking up the slack for a job that someone else is supposed to do. GEMINI — Calm down and get organized before you spread your ideas to others, Gemini. This is especially true when it comes to love and romance. As soon as this topic comes up, you tense up and erupt inappropriately. Ground yourself and find your center of balance - literally and figuratively - before you proceed. Don’t worry about getting the upper hand. What you need to do is join hands. CANCER — You’ve reached a climactic time of year regarding love and romance, Cancer. This is the time when your dream finally materializes, or you realize that all your efforts are failures. It all depends on how you played your cards over the past few months. This is one of those moments of reckoning when you face reality. You must bring your craft to the landing strip and check in with mission control. LEO — Your emotions are solid, and you feel good, Leo. At the same time, you may be tonguetied. You’re having a hard time expressing your true feelings in the way you’d like to, especially when it comes to love and romance. Perhaps you have so many thoughts that you don’t know how to sort them out, or which to disclose and which to keep hidden. VIRGO — Matters of love and romance should be going well, but try not to overdo it, Virgo. Be careful of getting so caught up in the fantasy of romance that you fail to take care of the details. Today is a good day to get the foundation solid before you start building. If you’ve already started building, +*#!2 +1$)"$you may need to stand back and consider areas in which some extra

support beams may be necessary. LIBRA — This is one of those days when the road forks in several directions and you must decide which way to go, Libra. This usually isn’t hard. You just go with the flow. But now things are flowing in multiple directions and you need to figure out which way to go. Stick with the way that seems most natural. Remember that whatever choice you make will be the right one. SCORPIO — Your plane is fueled, your bags packed, and you have clearance from the control tower, but for some reason, Scorpio, you just can’t seem to get off the ground. Perhaps there are details of the trip that you haven’t taken into account. People are firing questions at you, and you don’t have all the answers. This is especially true when it comes to matters of love and romance. SAGITTARIUS — The person who is most organized and stable will win the race, so let it be you, Sagittarius. Be careful, though. Other people may try to distract you from your work. You may be in the middle of an important project and decide to take a break. Before you know it, the phone rings and suddenly you’re trapped with no escape. The break that you hoped would take no more than five minutes has turned into a big interruption. CAPRICORN — Your brain is buzzing in high gear, Capricorn. Anyone else would get dizzy trying to process even a fraction of the things that filter through your head in one day. The key for you is to not speak every single thought aloud but to keep your processing internal. People want to hear your final decision, not the process you went through to reach it. You will save everyone a lot of time if you do. AQUARIUS — You may have a hard time relating to people in social situations, Aquarius. Perhaps you’re frustrated at hearing the same shallow conversations over and over. While you have to mingle (even virtually) with different people, all you can think about is how nice it would be if you could be alone in front of the TV. Your best plan is to avoid situations that you know you won’t enjoy. There’s no sense in torturing yourself. PISCES — Things have probably been going well lately in the love and romance department, Pisces. You find that communication has improved, and the witty banter is invigorating and educational. Today there may be a blip on the radar. You may have been so caught up in the good parts that you failed to take care of the details and do the actual work needed to make things run smoothly.

Codeword is a fun game with simple rules, and a great way to test your knowledge of the English language. 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.

Chumash Casino Resort honored with U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership Award By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Chumash Casino Resort was honored as a recipient of the U.S. Green Building Council’s 2020 Leadership Awards, which honor private and public sector leaders who have shown a commitment to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, the world’s most widely used green building rating system. Green Business Certification Inc. president and CEO Mahesh Ramanujam stated, “Our 2020 Leadership Award recipients understand that by investing in healthy, green buildings and communities we are not only improving quality of life for people, but we are also taking steps to strengthen our business and economy.� According to a press release, the Chumash Casino Resort was recognized with this award in part because of its innovative approach to diverting waste and for receiving TRUE Silver Zero Waste certification from GBCI in 2019. Mr. Ramanujam remarked that the Chumash Casino Resort reduced its total waste stream from 7.2 million pounds per year to 3.2 million from 2004 to 2018. During that same period, the resort has also increased its recycling from 6% to 90%, established a food donation program to support local seniors, and developed a public education program highlighting best practices for the community. Chumash Tribal Chairman Kenneth Kahn said it was an honor for the resort’s zero waste accomplishments to be recognized by GBCI. “We’re proud to be mentioned among such innovative groups and individuals who share our commitment to protecting the environment,� he said. Other recipients of GBCI’s Leadership Award were software company Autodesk, the TCF Center in Detroit, MI, Vanderbilt University, and New York-based real estate investment firm Vornado Realty Trust. email: jgrega@newspress.com

When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling $41,930.22 [10% of the Secretary’s bid] in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD. Each oral bid need not be accompanied by a deposit. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $41,930.22 must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the high bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveyancing fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of a certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD Field Office representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD field office Representative, offer the Property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The amount that must be paid if the Mortgage is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is $419,302.20, as of 12/1/2020, plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage agreement if payments under the mortgage had not been accelerated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices and for the Foreclosure Commissioner’s attendance at the sale, reasonable and customary costs incurred for title and lien record searches, the necessary out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Foreclosure Commissioner for recording documents, a commission for the Foreclosure Commissioner, and all other costs incurred in connection with the foreclosure prior to reinstatement.

UCSB Department of Religious Studies receives $1M to establish Jain Studies chair By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

With a recently received $1 million gift, UCSB’s Department of Religious Studies has established the Bhagvan Vimalnath Endowed Chair in Jain Studies. In an interview with the News-Press, Department of Religious Studies professor and chair Fabio Rambelli said the creation of the Jain studies chair is the culmination of a four- to five-year process. The department held its first courses on the Jain tradition last year. He added that the addition of Jain studies to the program’s curriculum, which studies many religious traditions from a secular academic perspective, will be a “crucial and original component.” The professor stated, “The addition of Jain Studies is important for a number of reasons; the Jains have created a long and successful tradition that dates back to about 2,500 years.” He added, “They have established and consistently applied three main principles: radical nonviolence (including the prohibition of using violence against any living being, including plants), generosity, and the acceptance of multiple points of view. It is a pluralistic tradition, whose tenets are particularly relevant to our world, especially in terms of nonviolence, business ethics, and environmental concerns.” According to a press release, these tenants are respectively called Ahimsa, Aprigraha, and Anekantavaad. UCSB Chancellor Henry T. Yang said the university is “tremendously grateful” for the gift that will allow it to create the Jain studies chair. He expects the new position will be helpful with the advancement of Jain and South Asian studies, which he called “an exciting and increasingly important field, at UC Santa Barbara.” John Majewksi, the Michael Douglas Dean of Humanities and Fine Arts, said Jainism’s fundamental principles are “of increasing relevance to our students and the wider world” and that the funding for the new program will support “innovative new courses, path-breaking interdisciplinary research, significant national and international conferences and important public programming.” The $1 million used to create the Bhagvan

Vimalnath Endowed Chair in Jain Studies was a gift from Meera and Jasvant Modi via the Vardhamana Charitable Foundation, Rita and Narendra Parson via the Narenda and Rita Parson Family Trust, and Raksha and Harshad Shah via the Shah Family Foundation. In a joint statement, the donors said the establishment of a Jain studies chair will make a positive impact by making the principles of Ahimsa, Aprigraha, and Anekantavaad better known in the mainstream. “The most effective way of helping mankind, climate change and all forms of life is by spreading the principles of non-violence, giving and showing respect for all opinions. Support and creation of an endowed chair in Jain studies is the most effective way to achieve this goal,” their statement reads. Whoever is chosen for the position of Jain studies chair will lead academic investigation into the ways in which Jainism has played an important role in South Asian and transnational religious history. Their instruction will include Sanskrit and Prakrit language lessons. Students in the new program will explore how the principles of Ahimsa, Aprigraha, and Anekantavaad can be practically applied to promote enduring peace, social harmony, and ecological sustainability. Dr. Rambelli said that the recruitment process for a Jain studies chair will begin in a few years. email: jgrega@newspress.com

SB County Health Officer Dr. Henning Ansorg enough the seriousness of the current situation. We are at a critical point where every person must wear a face covering, avoid any gatherings with persons outside their home, and stay home if you are ill.” Dr. Ansorg added that holidays “must look different this year” in order to “avoid overburdening our healthcare system and further impacts to our economy.” The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department reported 53 daily cases of COVID-19 on Monday, bringing the county’s total number of recorded cases up to 10,577. There were also two COVID-19 deaths in the county, both individuals over 70 years of age who had underlying medical conditions. One individual was a resident of the unincorporated area of the Goleta Valley and Gaviota, and one was a resident of

the city of Goleta. There are now 133 COVID-19 deaths in Santa Barbara County. Seventeen of Monday’s daily cases were in Santa Barbara, 13 were in Santa Maria, six were in Isla Vista, five were in Lompoc, and four were in the South County Unincorporated Area. The Santa Ynez Valley and Orcutt each had two daily cases, and the unincorporated area of the Goleta Valley and Gaviota had one. There were also two daily cases throughout the unincorporated areas of Sisquoc, Casmalia, Garey, Cuyama, New Cuyama, and the city of Guadalupe. One daily case from Monday is pending. According to the Public Health Department’s numbers, there are 255 still infectious COVID-19 cases throughout Santa Barbara County. email: jgrega@newspress.com

Interim chief has served in department for 28 years chief

Continued from Page A1 “It’s a challenge, but it’s gone pretty well so far,” he said in a News-Press interview. “I’ve received such a warm welcome,” he said. “As a kid who grew up in Santa Barbara and had a dream of working in the Santa Barbara Fire Department, this is truly living a dream for me.” He said as soon as he was appointed, every department head in the city reached out. “What is most clear to me right away is how we have an amazingly collaborative executive team in the city,” he said. “My success is their success. It’s amazing to see how the good comes out and everyone wants me to succeed.” His first task was to appoint the operation division chief, and he began thinking of ways to advance the department. He began by looking at former fire chief Nickel’s five-year plan that covers 2019-2024. “He was a visionary. He’s the one that set us on a plan moving forward and having tangible guidelines and areas to work on,” he said. “We miss him already, but he’s given us a really good foundation to move forward on.” The department looked at the initiatives set by the former chief in areas such as training, internal and

external communication and staff wellbeing. “He was truly a professional fire chief. He had great knowledge of economics and the budget, the people, the role of a firefighter on a fire engine,” Mr. Mailes said. The two first met 30 years ago while they were training at paramedic school in Los Angeles. They knew each would move on to their respective cities but didn’t predict they’d work together years later. The search for the next fire chief will take approximately six months. “I appreciate Chief Mailes’s willingness to step up and lead the Department during this transition. We have an outstanding Fire Department, and I trust that Chief Mailes will be able to keep the Department moving forward on a number of key strategic issues during this time,” city administrator Paul Casey said. Chief Mailes said he’d feel fortunate if the city hired him for the job, but he prioritizes the department’s future successes over his own. “I’m definitely interested in applying for the position if my strengths are something the city is looking for. But right now, I’m just focusing on the next six months,” he said. He has served in the department for 28 years and will continue to do so in whatever role is needed. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Renderings show different views of the new SBPD police station to be built at the Cota Street commuter parking lot.

Board chair criticizes building’s appearance as ‘cold,’ ‘unwelcoming’ SBPD

Continued from Page A1 a 37.5-foot high, 86,000 square foot parking structure that would accommodate 244 parking spaces. Both structures will have a subterranean level. Though the project’s massing and height were acceptable to the board, there was no shortage of criticism in other areas. Board chair Kevin Moore took issue with the rendering’s Cota Street corner, which he said was “cold,” “austere” and “unwelcoming.” “I don’t know that that’s what we want to put forward as the first impression of this building and of the police department,” he said. Mr. Moore added that he wanted

to revisit the project to make it more in line with the style of the surrounding area. “Even though I’m in support of the general massing and height, I would like to see this project again and to see if it can be refined in some way to bring it more in line with the compatibility analysis list,” he said. Board member Dennis Whelan lamented that the Cota Street parking lot was chosen for the site of the new police station given that it has no room to expand and meet the needs of the Santa Barbara Police Department as its force expands. “The site plan is completely full and leaves no room for the inevitable expansion, so I think it’s rather unfortunate that after all the site selection, we came up with a site that just barely fits,” he said. While he felt that the project as

a whole was “headed in the right direction” and that the parking lot and station connected together nicely in the renderings, board member Leon Olson took issue with the proposed tiling by the station entrances. Due to their questionable longevity, he called them “clever, but unsuccessful for the long term.” He said of the tiles, “It’s just such a significant element of the design and I think it makes for long-term problems about how this looks in 10 years, fifteen years, how those tiles stand up, how they collect dirt and things like that.” Built in 1959, the current police station at 215 E Figueroa St. was constructed to hold a staff of about 85 people. The police force now consists of approximately 211 sworn and unsworn officers, so a new police station has been

needed for a long time. The new station proposed to be built at the Cota Street commuter lot is paid for by the additional 1% sales tax imposed by Measure C. email: jgrega@newspress.com

KING, Nancy Louise Our loving mother and wife, Nancy Louise King passed away October 8th, surrounded by loving family, after a brief battle with Pancreatic cancer. A tough, strong gal all her life, she gave her cancer a run for it’s money and was a warrior through to the end. Born Nancy Louise Coffer in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania in 1940, she soon moved to Newton Highlands, Massachusetts, before the family decided to move out to California in the mid 1940s and she lived in San Luis Obispo, San Francisco and Redwood City, and ended back in San Luis Obispo where she attended California Polytechnic State University. There she met and fell in love with her college sweetheart, Bascom Holt King, whom she married in 1960. They moved to Santa Barbara, where Bascom lived with his mother prior to college and settled in with a new house and their first child, Everett. Not long after came his sister, Cassandra to complete the family. Nancy and Bascom lived in their La Cumbre area home together for nearly 60 years, and Nancy lovingly attended to the large backyard, gardening being one of her largest passions, planting fruit trees and roses as well as finely engineered vegetable gardens. Nancy had an education in Early Childhood Development and ran the Goleta Valley Nursery School for many years, becoming a favorite among hundreds of children for her uplifting and loving spirit. Later in life she turned her passion for travel into a business, opening up Magic Carpet Travel Agency with another agent and had the agency for several decades. Nancy was a keen business woman with a good sense for budgeting and enjoyed the benefits of small business ownership. For the last nearly 18 years, she ran another business out of her home, Santa Barbara Custom Quilting, which brought her much joy. Nancy was a very creative woman, trying out any number of crafts, starting with jam making and moved to stained glass making, basket weaving, and hand looming carpets and a long stint with pottery, to name but just a few. And Nancy would dive-in, full force to master her skills and make numerous pieces of each craft before moving to the next. She also was very fond of woodworking and had collected a nice set of tools over the years. But her most favorite mainstay was quilting, and she was a very accomplished quilter and won several awards. She was a member of the Coastal Quilters Guild of Santa Barbara & Goleta and volunteered to quilt hundreds of quilts used by local charity agencies to give comfort to children of abuse, seniors in facilities, etc. Some of the places Nancy has traveled to include Japan, France, Ireland, England, New Zealand, South America and a rare hard-to-get trek into Bulgaria in the mid 1970s. Her last trip was with her daughter to France and Ireland in 2019 where she got to fulfill a lifelong dream to see the prehistoric cave paintings in the south of France, as well as the neolithic site Newgrange in Ireland. Nancy will be remembered for her beautiful smile and bright brown eyes and nearly everywhere she went people instantly warmed up to her. She also had a slightly mischievous streak and great sense of humor, which always brought smiles out of people. Nancy will reside in our hearts forever but will be missed dearly on this earth. She is survived by her husband, Bascom Holt King, her son Everett, daughter Cassandra and two grandsons as well as a younger sister and a brother.
