Creativity for all UCP WORK requests donations for next week’s Giving Tuesday

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

UCP WORK Inc. is a program for individuals with disabilities to access care, employment and fun. Right now, it needs help providing more enrichment opportunities to its participants. Every week, staff members load up the organization’s vans with craft supplies to take to the 100+ artists who participate in weekly classes on Zoom. Before COVID-19, the artists had a studio and gallery within UCP WORK. It’s called Santa Barbara Art Works, and the participants display and sell their original artwork. The studio had all the supplies they needed, including a 3D printer that made adaptive tools for individuals who struggle holding a traditional paintbrush. “The artists in our studio are thrilled to be continuing to produce works of art from home. It’s amazing to see the creativity that is coming out of this time,” UCP WORK executive director Judy Linares told the News-Press. Some participants don’t have a tablet device to attend the Zoom class, and staff members would like to expand their class offerings and keep the artists intrigued each week. To remedy this problem, UPC WORK is requesting donations of art supplies for Giving Tuesday, a worldwide day of generosity that falls on Dec. 1 this year. Please see ucp work on A8

Local air travel increases for Thanksgiving By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

While air travel is way down from where it was last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is nonetheless increasing with the approaching Thanksgiving holiday both nationally and locally. This is despite CDC recommendations against traveling for Thanksgiving. This increase in air travel on the national level is reflected in TSA checkpoint travel numbers. On Sunday, the TSA reported a total traveler throughput of 1,047,934, the most air travelers it has had since Mar. 16, just a few days after the Trump administration declared a national emergency regarding the pandemic. The 1,047,934 air travelers recorded Sunday is still far less than the number recorded on the same day last year, 2,321,546. Corresponding with the NewsPress on Monday, Santa Barbara Airport business development manager Deanna Zachrisson said that it is somewhat of a surprise that the nationwide numbers have approached half of normal. She stated, “If a bit more than one million people flew the Sunday before Thanksgiving yesterday, that’s still one million people fewer than the year before. Obviously, that’s not great, but relative to where we have been, it’s progress.” The added that around 30% of the country’s domestic air fleet remains grounded. The Santa Barbara Airport forecasted that it would have checkpoint numbers of 471 and 476 for Saturday and Sunday, respectively. Instead, Saturday’s actual checkpoint number was 623, and Sunday’s was even higher, 663. According Ms. Zachrisson, the weekend’s checkpoint numbers are the largest the airport has seen on a daily basis since March. She believes it is a “safe assumption” that the actual checkpoint numbers each day this week will be larger than TSA’S projections.

By GERRY FALL A broken water valve wreaked havoc Monday on downtown businesses in the De La Guerra Plaza area of Santa Barbara. According to Nick Galati of the city public works department’s water division, crews were conducting a routine valve exercising program early Monday morning when the broken valve was discovered.

The forecasted checkpoint numbers for this week are 509 for Monday, 542 for Tuesday, 557 for Wednesday, 284 for Thursday, 374 for Friday, 545 for Saturday, 541 for Sunday, and 537 for Monday. Unsurprisingly, these are far smaller than the Santa Barbara Airport’s checkpoint numbers during last year’s Thanksgiving week, which were all above 1,000 except for Thanksgiving Day, which was 995. Ms. Zachrisson told the News-Press that the airport is currently back up to 12 daily flights, whereas there were around 22 or 23 daily flights prior to the pandemic. ‘ While the national increase in air travel is being felt at the local level, this hasn’t led to an increase in business for a few travel agents who talked to the News-Press. Karen Ensign, an independent contractor travel agent with Montecito Village Travel, said that a majority of her clients are staying in town for Thanksgiving. Those who are going out of town don’t need plane tickets. “As far as my clientele goes, most of them are staying home, they’re definitely not flying, and if they are traveling, they’re going by car,” she said. Tina Slimp, a travel agent with Santa Barbara Travel, said for this week she has sold just two tickets for trips from Los Angeles to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. She remarked in an email, “That is very different from last year! Nov. 25 and 29 are the busiest travel days of the year.”

Forest Service extends state-wide campsite and picnic area closures

CHRISTIAN WHITTLE

WS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Developed recreation sites in California will rein closed through May 15 after the USDA ForService issued an order extending the closures ursday. The order was issued for the entire Pacific Southst Region and its 18 National Forests, which indes the Los Padres National Forest. The initial closure order went into effect March 26 d was set to expire April 30. t applied to recreational use areas such as campunds, day use sites and picnic areas. The order was issued to discourage large gathers of people and promote safe social distancing of ying more than six feet apart. n the Santa Barbara Ranger District, 12 campunds and picnic areas will remain closed, includthe Fremont campground and White Rock and d Rock picnic areas. The order Thursday does not add to the closures eady in place for Santa Barbara. While other ars like the Monterey Ranger District have closed ilheads and forest roads, locals will still have acs to the many Santa Ynez Valley and Santa Bar-

bara Front Country trails and access roads. “What we’re seeing a lot of folks are doing is they’re driving up alongside of the road and just going for hikes up there. That’s ok. There’s not an order against hiking trails,� said Andew Madsen, U.S. Forest Service spokesman. “We just want to make sure if people go out they’re safely spaced between one another. If you get to a trailhead and there’s just too many cars there, you should find a different area to go to as opposed to trying to get in.� As state and local responses to the coronavirus pandemic continue to evolve, the Forest Service felt that the situation warranted a two week extension of the closures, said Mr. Madsen. “At the end of that they’ll evaluate and see where we’re at and whether or not we’re going to continue as we need it,� said Mr. Madsen. “This order can be rescinded at any time. If local health officials say it looks like the sky has cleared up we can rescind the order tomorrow. For right now, we don’t want to extend it out too far. “We just want to make sure in the next couple of weeks as we monitor what’s going on that we are taking the appropriate steps along with our state and local partners.�

The Book Loft celebrates its 50th anniversary

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

he Book Loft in Solvang celebrated its 50th anniversary over the weekend with an open house — its annual tradition. But it has made a few adjustments over the years (especially lately) while holding tightly to the charming pieces that have sustained it through its 50 years. The Book Loft was opened in 1970 by Gary and Kathy Mullins in a second-floor spot around the corner from its current storefront. The upstairs unit inspired the business name. Now located at 1680 Mission Drive, it’s a Solvang staple. There’s a large selection downstairs, including rare books, and a museum upstairs dedicated to Danish fairytale author Hans Christian Andersen. “The expectation for what a bookstore’s position in the community has changed a lot in the past 50 years,” manager Echo Molina told the News-Press. “We’re still at our top with customer service, people’s relationship to the books — the things that make a brick-and-mortar store so important.” The shop has to move at a quicker pace to keep up with modern demands and have a larger selection on hand. Board games are a popular new addition. Each year, the store’s anniversary marks the start of the holiday season. Staff members hold an open house with discounts on popular books. Last weekend’s 50th anniversary open house was spread across three days, so customers didn’t have to crowd to be part of the celebration. The weekend kicked off with a presentation by Solvang City Councilman Robert Clarke. He presented a commemorative banner, giving thanks to The Book Loft’s service to the community. Local businesses were involved in the celebration. Solvang Bakery made a gingerbread house in the shape of the store, complete with miniature books. At sunset Friday and Saturday, local musicians performed on the patio. Keeping with the shop’s family-friendly atmosphere, students from Solvang’s Song In My Heart Studio played Saturday. Because Hans Christian Anderson wrote “The Little Mermaid,” Ms. Molina hired Katie Samuel of Parties and Paint by

The witch is reading a book on voice stealing and tricking mermaids. “One of our co-workers, Dawn Lefever, had an idea, and she went with it. It came out brilliantly,” bookseller Heidi Honeyman told the News-Press in 2019 outside the window. “Dawn designed it and built the body, and Ali Heath (another co-worker) did the face.

Gratitude and Thanksgiving have never been more vital

T

hanksgiving is my favorite holiday, and right now gratitude has never been more important. I love everything about this holiday, and this year it’s going to be so different. We will all have to get creative to feel like we are having a celebration in the middle of a crisis. Our collective well-being is very precarious right now, and we need to be careful and, together, make the effort to achieve the best possible future. Here are some things many of us can be grateful for, even in a pandemic and a divided country. • Your health. If you are healthy right now, then be thankful. Over a million have died worldwide, and many more millions sickened, so whatever you have been doing to stay well, keep it up. As a reward, you get an extra slice of pumpkin pie. • Your life. Thanksgiving was founded on getting through a difficult time. Imagine the

hardships those early settlers faced, and be grateful that your life, no matter how difficult at the moment, is a lot easier than theirs was. • Your income. If you still have an income, consider yourself fortunate, because many millions of people still do not, and their prospects are not getting better anytime soon. Hopefully the powers that be will step up and help people out, but if not, I think that we should open up to the idea that we need to help each other out. How you go about it is up to you. • Good people. Look for goodness where you can find it. There’s still a lot out there, and most of it comes from the milk of human kindness. I am grateful for the kind people in my life. These are the people who make life worth living, and I give back in any way I can.

• Your energy. The world may be on pause, but you don’t have to be. You just need to create new ways of doing your life, and some of that is going to be pleasant and some not so much. But you can figure it out. • Your home. Find ways to make yourself more comfortable in the home that you have. We got a shower bench — not a big deal, but it was a real lifestyle improvement, and it looks cool. I’m also thinking of trading my “executiveâ€? chair for a cushy gamer one. • Good friends. Connecting with others is very important, so get creative. We have many devices, but with family in different parts of the world, Zoom won’t work. We may set up every phone, pad and computer and connect each with a different person to talk with whomever is available at that time on Thanksgiving Day, and for a little

while, we will all feel connected that way. Lastly, I am grateful that I have come to appreciate that this horrible virus has helped me to slow down, and I have been able to value some things that I had been overlooking. A simpler life is far from a bad one, and the gifts that come with it are one thing I can be truly thankful for. Right now, gratitude and thanksgiving have never been more important, so please use some of these tips for making the holiday special during a difficult time in our lives. Happy Thanksgiving to all of my readers.

Kate to visit the second day as Ariel. Wearing a sequin tail and a fake shell bikini top, she greeted guests and handed kids balloons. Sunday, she returned as the Snow Queen. Kids may not know the character from Mr. Andersen’s book of the same name, but they recognize Disney’s animated adaptation: “Frozen.� The Snow Queen was the inspiration for the character of Elsa (voice of Broadway actress Idina Menzel). While the bookstore’s Hans Christian Andersen Museum is closed under purple tier guidelines, staff members were able to bring many of his books downstairs. Some were on sale last weekend. Usually, the open house is buzzing with people shopping for Christmas presents. Ms. Molina has noticed people buying gifts early this year. “We’ve been trying to keep people’s favorite books in stock,� she said. “We have people coming in year after year.� She sometimes assists customers picking out gifts for grandkids and other loved ones. Even though COVID-19 complicated the business, customers stayed loyal. They bought gift cards, ordered books by phone and purchased presents. “People have been great.

They’ve been very thoughtful and understanding that a store like ours needs a customer base to stay,� she said. “They’re doing what they can to make sure we’re around.� While many tourists come through, Solvang locals are the regular customers. Some customers vacation in Solvang a few times a year and make sure to buy books when they are in town. Ms. Molina is glad she can serve the community in an unsettling season. She thinks books are important among the stress. “They allow for an escape when you can’t escape physically,� she said. “They allow you to escape to a different place or time during a time when we’re over stimulated by everything and we’re not able to socialize like we used to.� “They provide a way for our brains to relax but still have fun,� she said.

LIFE

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS

Horoscope.com Tuesday, November 24, 2020

ARIES — Your imagination might conjure stories or pictures that you want to memorialize through writing or painting, but a lack of selfconfidence might discourage you. However, it’s probably a good idea to do it anyway. These ideas come from deep inside you. Giving them shape could represent a release from old traumas. Keep your work hidden in a drawer if you don’t like it. TAURUS — Attendance at some kind of group event might seem especially appealing today. However, Taurus, worries about your family might distract you so that you don’t benefit from it the way you should. You also might find some of the conversation boring. Despite your lack of enthusiasm, it might be a good idea to get out anyway. Staying home alone could make for a gloomy evening. GEMINI — Let’s face it, Gemini. Today you’re likely to find your chores and errands exceedingly boring. You could find yourself watching the clock, feeling like an hour has gone by and then realizing it’s only been ten minutes. If you can put off your tasks until tomorrow, by all means do so. Nothing is so urgent that it requires your undivided attention all day. Treat yourself to a fun afternoon. CANCER — You might be distracted by daydreams of a trip you’re planning to take, Cancer. A friend could phone and want to discuss it, which doesn’t help. Visions of faraway places and exciting pastimes may dance in your head, and routine tasks seem incredibly tedious and unworthy of attention. It’s best to get them done if you can. Then you can fantasize about your vacation without guilt! LEO — You might not have heard from a close friend in a long time and worry a little, Leo. Perhaps this person wasn’t well the last time you talked. If you can, it might be a good idea to call. Strange and unsettling dreams could plague your sleep tonight, but don’t get too agitated. They aren’t prophetic in any way. The symbols probably represent nothing more than psychic detritus released through sleep. VIRGO — An older visitor might come to your door today, Virgo. You aren’t likely to be too thrilled about this, but you will be able to play the good host anyway. Romance and sociability may be a bit limited by obligations to family, particularly parents, but don’t let it get you down. +*#!2 +1$)"$ You may be stuck at home tonight, but you will be able to let loose later.

LIBRA — Mundane tasks, including errands and answering correspondence, might bore you all day, Libra. You’re likely to be restless and strongly tempted to chuck it all and go somewhere to enjoy yourself. Take a good look at what you’re doing and try to judge objectively how important it is to get it done now. If it isn’t that important, then put it aside. You probably need to relax! SCORPIO — Financial issues may interfere with your self-expression today, Scorpio. Perhaps you need a little more money before proceeding with a project that means a lot to you. You usually aren’t one to let this kind of consideration stop you, though. Just a little bit of thought and planning could make whatever it is you want to do more feasible than it appears to be. Write down some ideas and go to it! SAGITTARIUS — A charismatic person might contact you today and want your help with something. Emotional issues regarding family might have you feeling gloomy. Your creative side may have to lie fallow while you attend to mundane issues. Basically, you feel pretty optimistic about your life and future. You’re never afraid of hard work, and you’re persevering. Go for what you want and make everyone happy, including yourself! CAPRICORN — Worries about relatives or friends could plague you throughout the day, Capricorn. Perhaps you aren’t sure what’s wrong and so you feel helpless. Whatever vague worries you may have, don’t try to figure out the truth without knowing the facts. You could make mountains out of molehills. This isn’t a good day to run errands. Delays and obstacles could cause a lot of frustration and wasted time. AQUARIUS — Small group functions and social events might not prove as satisfying as usual today, Aquarius. You may not be in the mood. You might feel pressured to mingle when you’d rather sit on the couch. Whatever conversations you get into will seem trivial and boring. This is a good day to sit back and listen. You might learn from the people around you without having to say a word. PISCES — Pride might get in your way today, Pisces. Perhaps you will be asked to do a task that you consider beneath you. Perhaps the people around you are feeling persnickety. Rise above the insults and make a special effort to do the best you can, defusing the situation before it gets out of hand. Tonight, enjoy an evening of watching movies or listening to music.

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.

Crews worked all day to replace broken valve water

Continued from Page A1 The valve, located in the first block of East De La Guerra Street, was believed to have stopped working around 8 a.m. Crews worked all day to replace it. Several businesses, including the News-Press, were left without water throughout the day. Repairing the valve apparently was not an option. “This is a valve where you have to go in and replace it,� Mr. Galati told the News-Press. Mr. Galati went on to say that there was the potential that the public works department’s water division might have to shut down even more water services around De La Guerra Plaza to get the problem resolved, which would leave even more businesses without water. He specified that three other service connections could be affected. email: gfall@newspress.com

RAFAEL MALDONADO / NEWS-PRESS

City of Santa Barbara crews work Monday to repair a water valve brake in the first block of East De la Guerra Street. The water for businesses near De la Guerra Plaza was turned off during the repairs.

Coach excited about new athlete NCAA grants immediate eligibility to UCSB’s transfer from Temple By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

UCSB coach Joe Pasternack has never seen a player accelerate on a basketball court as quickly as newcomer Josh Pierre-Louis. That’s now true off the court, as well. The NCAA has granted PierreLouis, a 6-foot-4 sophomore transfer from Temple University, immediate eligibility to play for the Gauchos this season. Temple also signed off on his petition for a redshirt waiver. “It’s good for us and for him, too, especially since this year won’t even count against him,” Pasternack said. “He’s an outstanding athlete and someone that is just going to get better and better at practice, every single day.” The NCAA, recognizing that the COVID-19 pandemic has created a tenuous landscape for sports, has ruled that this season won’t count against an athlete’s eligibility. “It’s a free year for everybody,” said Pasternack, who’s had 13 games canceled that were either on his original nonconference schedule or were added as replacement contests. The Gauchos, who expect to open their season at home on Sunday at 4 p.m. against Saint Katherine’s, are still trying to add games. The only other set contests before Big West Conference play are at Loyola Marymount on Dec. 12, at Pepperdine on Dec 19, and at home against San Diego Christian on Dec. 21. UCSB will open its league season at home against UC Irvine with back-to-back games on Dec. 27 and 28. Spectators are not allowed for at least the first part of the season. Pierre-Louis was highly recruited out of Roselle Catholic High, having led the Lions to the New Jersey State final as a junior and to a No. 17 national ranking as a senior. He originally committed to UNLV, turning down offers from such schools as Georgia and Oklahoma State, but then joined his brother Nate at Temple when the Runnin’ Rebels fired their coach. “Josh is one of the most elite athletes I’ve ever coached,” Pasternack said. “He’s definitely different in that aspect and he plays really hard. He’s a tough kid

and a good kid, too. “He’s still really young — just 19 years old — so he’s got a long way to go. But fortunately for him and us, the sky is the limit over the next couple of years.” He had several big games for Temple last year as a freshman reserve. He led the Owls to a 7061 win over USC by making 5-of-11 shots including a pair of threepointers in a 15-point, three-assist and three-steals performance. He also made a trio of threes in the second half against SMU to help Temple turn a 19-point deficit into a 97-90 victory. He shot 37.8% from three for the season. Pierre-Louis decided to leave Temple after his brother declared for the NBA Draft. Their father, Frantz Pierre-Louis, was inducted into the Wagner University Hall of Fame after a stellar Division 1 basketball career, which included averages of 19.6 points and 7.9 rebounds during his senior season. He played professionally in Turkey, South Korea, Spain and Italy. “Josh is an incredible offensive rebounder,” Pasternack said. “His acceleration with the ball in his hands and his lateral quickness are also something I haven’t seen before in a basketball player. He’s unbelievably explosive. “With all that being said, there

are specific details of his game that have to be defined. That’s just because of his age. But his raw talent is tremendous.” The addition of Pierre-Louis to the active roster gives Pasternack a dozen scholarship players with the ability to play prominent roles: returning all-leaguers Amadou Sow and JaQuori McLaughlin; returning starter Devearl Ramsey; returning rotation reserves Robinson Idehen, Brandon Cyrus, Jay Nagle, and Sékou Touré; returning redshirt Jakov Kukic, and highly regarded transfers Ajare Sanni, Destin Barnes, and Miles Norris. Another player — 6-2 junior Calvin Wishart — is practicing with the team as a redshirt after having transferred from Georgia Southern. “These are the most competitive practices we’ve ever had, and I think it’s improving our team every day,” Pasternack said. “And Josh fits in well with that.” The roster depth becomes especially important after the Big West responded to the coronavirus by scheduling league games on back-to-back nights. “I’ve been guilty of playing guys too many minutes, I’ll be the first to admit that, but I won’t be doing that with so many more players at our disposal,” Pasternack said.

“We just have some really great, high-character guys who are competing every day. “Each and every one of them is really bringing it. Jay Nagle, for instance. He’s gotten a lot bigger and stronger during the summer, and he needed to. He’s versatile and really shooting the ball well, and broadening his game.” The Gauchos are ripe for competition, he added. “We’re living day-by-day now, getting tested (for the coronavirus) three times a week, so we are grateful to be able to be practicing right now,” he said. “But they are definitely ready to stop beating on each other and start beating on somebody else. “It’ll be good to play a different color uniform.” email: mpatton@newspress.com

Most of organization’s programs have remained active during the pandemic ucp work

Continued from Page A1

The wish list includes paint brushes, yarn, rainbow looms and more. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, donations will be collected at the Santa Maria office, 3070 Skyway Drive, Suite 104/105. The Santa Barbara location at 423 W. Victoria St. will collect Wednesday. The main office in Carpinteria, 5320 Carpinteria Ave., Suite G, finishes off the drive Thursday. In addition, donors can purchase the supplies from its amazon list at a.co/1iUO1rL. The gifts will be shipped directly to UCP WORK. All of its programs, except power wheelchair soccer, have been open during the pandemic serving the 400 participants. “They can still participate in a remote matter without having to risk going out into the community, but at the same time not being isolated from the programs they’ve depended on, some for many years,” Ms. Linares said. Many participants have compromised immune systems, so staff members have worked to keep them healthy while mitigating the negative effects of isolation. “It makes a world of difference to maintain some sort of connection,” she said. “It’s been really important for us to identify the needs of each person we support and then meet them.” Classes and activities vary to keep everyone engaged. There are classes for beading, cooking, yoga, Zumba, dance and more. There’s even a class that discusses COVID-19 safety to make sure they’re ready when it’s time to re-enter the community. Participants in a self-advocacy group discuss how to stand up for people with disabilities. Community members can support them in advocacy while also letting them have their own voice and individuality. Business owners can also hire individuals with a disability. “If you own a business that wants a more inclusive workforce, hire someone with a disability. And UPC Work is here to help you with that,” Ms. Linares said. Even helping participants practice their interview skills would help them pursue a career. “We have a very giving community here in Santa Barbara,” she said. “I hope they continue to show up to our events and art shows and donate when they can.” Santa Barbara Art Works is holding a virtual show Dec. 3-30 titled “Give Art with Heart.” Profits from the sale will go to the artists and class supplies. More details will be announced later. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Jan O’Dowd passed away peacefully on the evening of Nov. 6, 2020 holding the hand of her devoted husband, Don, and surrounded by her loving family. Janet was born in Olympia, Washington on July 22, 1929 the only daughter of Myra (Lancaster) and Ed Fithian. She attended Fidalgo Elementary School (2 rooms) in Anacortes, Washington and graduated from Anacortes High School co-valedictorian with her brother, Bob. At the University of Washington she graduated with a B.S. in psychology in 1951 as valedictorian and President’s Medalist, the university’s highest undergraduate award. After graduation she was awarded a Fulbright scholarship for study in Great Britain. On the ship to England with a cohort of Fulbright scholars she met Don a fellow Fulbright awardee who she would marry 2 years later. She was the energetic, intelligent, witty and devoted partner of Don for 67 years. Jan was a doer. During her whole adult life she volunteered for work in non-profit and charitable organizations. After starting their married life in Cambridge, Mass. they moved to Middletown, Conn. and then on to Rochester, Mich. with 3 small children and a 4th on the way. Oakland University was in its second year. Jan contributed greatly to the growth and development of the new university first by assisting in recruiting faculty and fostering a community including faculty and their families, staff and students and for 10 years she embraced all the duties expected of a president’s wife. After living 5 years in Albany, N. Y., at the University of Alaska in the 1980s she repeated the role of president’s wife. In 1991 the O’Dowds retired to Santa Barbara. For the past 15 years she has lived a Valle Verde where she has many friends and enjoyed a good life. Devoted to all forms of theater and dance, Jan was instrumental in establishing two professional equity theater companies, the Meadow Brook Theatre in Rochester, MI and the Capital Repertory Company in Albany, NY. Both of which are still in existence after respectively 54 and 38 years. In Santa Barbara Jan enjoyed and supported the Ensemble Theatre among many theater and dance organizations. Of particular importance was theater and dance at UCSB where she rarely missed a performance and was particularly dedicated to the Launch Pad theater program. Jan saved well over a thousand play bills from almost every theater performance she attended over the past 60 years meticulously cataloged and stored in her files. Jan was an enthusiastic participant and tireless contributor to the VISTAS Lifelong Learning organization. She both offered and took many classes, recruited members and served at various times as curriculum chair, vice president and co-president. Among other groups she spent many hours working to support Planned Parenthood and the League of Women Voters. Jan is survived by her husband, Don, her 4 children, Dan, Diane, Jim and John, 5 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. “May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest” In lieu of flowers donations may be sent to Planned Parenthood; UCSB Dept. of Theater and Dance; and Vistas Lifelong Learning. Arrangements entrusted to WelchRyce-Haider Funeral Chapels.
