NTSB rules on Conception fire Board says Truth Aquatics caused boat fire, blames lack of oversight By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

VENTURA COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT PHOTO

The Conception dive boat fire in 2019 cost the lives of 34 people.

After more than a year-long investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board determined Tuesday that the probable cause of the Conception boat fire tragedy was the failure of Truth Aquatics Inc. to provide effective oversight of the vessel and crew member operations. The fire claimed the lives of 34 individuals near Santa Cruz Island off the Santa Barbara coast on Sept. 2, 2019. The board discussed its findings during a virtual meeting. The board could not determine the origin area or cause of the fire from wreckage examination. But through interviews with the five surviving crew members, examination of the similar vessel Vision and statements from previous passengers, investigators were able

to predict what the origin and cause of the fire relied on. Board members proposed 18 findings as a result of the investigation. The key findings of what led to the fire included the lack of a requirement of a roving patrol that was codified in U.S. law for nearly 150 years, the lack of the U.S. Coast Guard regulatory requirement for smoke detection in all accommodations spaces and inadequate emergency escape arrangements from the bunk room. These reasons and more allowed for a fire of an unknown cause to grow undetected in the vicinity of the aft salon on the main deck, preventing escape and contributing to the high loss of life, according to the NTSB. Staff also determined the emergency response to the accident was appropriate, but unable to prevent the loss of life. Constructed in 1981, Conception’s purpose

SB Unified students protest delayed re-entry By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A group of around 40 students met in front of the Santa Barbara Unified School District’s office, at 720 Santa Barbara St., around noon on Tuesday. They held signs protesting the school board’s decision to delay in-person learning until second semester for secondary schools. Students held signs painted in school colors that said: “We don’t feel heard,” “We miss school,” “Stop putting yourself before the students,” and other short messages. A semicircle of approximately 25 people surrounded the student protest. Parents, community members and a couple political candidates took photos of the students and clapped for them. District employees listened, and Board President Laura Capps approached students and chatted. The students were otherwise quiet, not chanting unless provoked by a parent. A group of three San Marcos High School freshmen girls said parents had a role spreading the word, but students organized the protest. One of the girls, Hope Campbell, heard about the protest from her dad, Brian Campbell, who’s a candidate for the district’s school board. Mr. Campbell said the official announcement of the protest wasn’t sent until the day before to avoid district employees from stopping it, but a few people planned it earlier. “I’m proud of my kid for coming out and voicing their concerns,” he said. “It’s a lot harder to protest than check a box on a survey.” In a survey sent by the district prior to the Oct. 13 board meeting, 54% of students responded that they were ready to return to campus. “We’re missing a lot that you don’t think about,” Nicole Parker said. Her friends Hope and Kiera Kinsella agreed, saying they aren’t

getting a high-school experience. They had their own homecoming party with two other friends and even dressed up before meeting at Kiera’s house. “I’m confused as to why we’re not able to go to school but we can go to the mall or go see a movie,” Kiera said. “Why is that more important than our learning?” They were still worried about COVID-19, but said mental health is important as well. “We have to try to get through COVID-19 or else it’ll be a roadblock in our lives for many years,” Hope said. Santa Barbara High School senior Lily Bienstock said she has been nervous as she applies for college.

Jeff Bridges faces cancer diagnosis By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Jeff Bridges has been diagnosed with lymphoma. The Oscar winner, known for having been a longtime Montecito resident, announced the diagnosis Monday on Twitter. Lymphoma is a kind of blood cancer. He noted he felt fortunate for his team of doctors and the love of his family and friends. “I’m starting treatment and will keep you posted,” Mr. Bridges, 70, said. In a second tweet, the actor posted, “Thank you for your prayers and well wishes. And, while I have you, please remember to go vote. Because we are all in this together. Vote.org.” Mr. Bridges said his prognosis was good, but did not say whether he had Hodgkin lymphoma or nonHodgkin lymphoma. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say both kinds of lymphoma affect the tissues and organs that produce, store and carry white blood cells that fight infections. The Montecito actor received a lot of support on social media, everyone from Mr. Sulu himself, “Star Trek” actor George Takei, to crime novelist Don Winslow. Mr. Bridges is known for movies varying from the first “Iron Man” movie to “Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, “Starman,” “The Fabulous Baker Boys,” “The Fisher King” and the Coen brothers’ cult classic “The Big

was to take recreational divers on day and overnight trips, and was constructed with fiberglass laid over plywood. The vessel was made before 1996, missing a new set of regulations as it was classified as an “existing vessel.” The fire burned without intervention for around an hour and 40 minutes, while passengers and crew members were asleep, sinking Conception in about 61 feet of water in the inverted position. The potential ignition sources of the aft portion of the salon included electrical systems, charging batteries and devices, improperly discarded smoking materials or some other unknown ignition source. It was indicated from interviews that it was a common practice of Truth Aquatics vessels to recharge 15 to 20 battery-powered devices such as flashlights and cameras overnight in Please see conception on A5

Lebowski,” which immortalized the actor as the Dude. He won the Oscar for best actor two years in a row, for “Crazy Heart” (2009) and the “True Grit” remake (2010) for the role of Rooster Cogburn. (John Wayne won his only Oscar when he played the same character in the 1969 “True Grit” movie.) Recently Mr. Bridges was filming “The Old Man,” a TV series set to debut on Hulu. Mr. Bridges, who is known for his singing and guitar playing, photography and other art as well as his acting, has played an active role in the Santa Barbara community. His projects have included the regular contributions of his art to the annual Festival of the Hearts, a benefit for the Friendship Center, which offers adult day services in Montecito and Goleta. Mr. Bridges is also a campaigner for No Kid Hungry, an advocate for Unity Shoppe, a musician who has performed at the Lobero Theatre and a storyteller. Earlier this month, Mr. Bridges and his daughter, Isabelle Bridges, went on NBC’s “Today” to discuss the children’s book they wrote together, “Daddy Daughter Day.” And, of course, Mr. Bridges is known for being a longtime part of Montecito. In 2019, he and his wife, Susan Geston, sold their Montecito home to neighbor Oprah Winfrey for $6.85 million. (Besides their residence in Montecito, they’ve had a home in Montana.) email: dmason@newspress.com

How PG&E is improving Public Safety Power Shutoffs in 2020.

Smaller, shorter, smarter.

PG&E is working to make PSPS events smaller, shorter and smarter, by:

Installing over 600 devices that redirect power to limit the size of outages

Using more than 765 advanced weather stations to pinpoint where severe weather is most likely to occur

2

Adding backup generation in some high fire-threat communities to keep the lights on

Nearly doubling our helicopter fleet from 35 to 65 and adding more field crews to cut restoration time in half compared to 2019

Upgrading our Community Resource Centers (while following COVID-19 health guidelines such as the use of masks and social distancing) by providing water, snacks, and other resources

aith Freed has been practicing psychotherapy for more than 10 years, but she knows not everyone is accustomed to the therapist’s couch. To help newcomers, she wrote “Starting Therapy: A Guide to Getting Ready, Feeling Informed, and Gaining the Most from your Sessions” (Apocryphile

Press, 2020). “Having been a therapist long enough, I realize that some people come in with a measure of trepidation and discomfort, like not knowing what to expect,” the Santa Barbara therapist told the News-Press. “And they’re just some really basic things that if they know going in, they can just feel more comfortable.” She writes about the emotional side of therapy as well as the paperwork that new clients encounter.

She also hopes her book can encourage people to start therapy. “I really want to normalize therapy,” Ms. Freed said. “Anybody who’s open to it can definitely benefit from therapy.” She begins her book with a disclaimer that she uses the word “client” instead of “patient.” Ms. Freed said the word “patient” implies an illness, but noted therapy doesn’t require one to have a mental illness. A few of her new clients have read the book and appreciated her

mythbusting. “I think it was because they were coming from that old school train of thought like there’s some kind of stigma to therapy,” she said. “I think they just felt like it lays out all the basics.” The 114-page book is a refreshing overview with dollops of humor and a laid back tone. It puts readers on the fast track to successful sessions. “It can take a little bit of time to build a rapport and to feel like you can disarm yourself and disclose

whatever is on your mind and in your heart,” Ms. Freed said. For some clients, that trust comes naturally. Others are harder for Ms. Freed. The personal investment is why she was heartbroken when she moved from the Bay Area to Santa Barbara a year and a half ago and had to rebuild her clientele. “It takes a long time to build a practice and then when you have your clients, the relationships are very meaningful and deep and important,” she said.

The move wasn’t Ms. Freed’s first transition. She’s made many over the years. She is a Midwest native and set out to Washington D.C. to attend The George Washington University. She received her first master’s degree at the University of Texas in Austin and began a career in the ad business in San Francisco. “It was really exciting and stimulating and even a little bit Please see THERAPY on A5

People and dogs rescue each other ‘To the Rescue’ tells stories about shelter canines By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

T

ommy Habeeb recalled a rock star’s surprise when someone offered him a little

dog. “Here was this big guy saying, ‘Are you kidding me? I don’t want a Chihuahua,’ ” Mr. Habeeb, producer and host of the new TV show “To the Rescue,” told the News-Press by phone from his Dallas home. “And that dog climbs up on his lap and just started licking him,” Mr. Habeeb said. The little dog got to the big guy, who found all his stress just washing away, Mr. Habeeb said. That’s one example of how people and dogs help each other on “To the Rescue.” The syndicated series premiered last weekend and is airing locally on NSBY, also known as KSBYDT2. It’s a digital subchannel of San Luis Obispo station KSBY-TV.

FYI “To the Rescue,” a new syndicated TV series about shelter dogs, airs on KSBY-DT2. Check local listings for days and times.

“To the Rescue” features the stories about shelter dogs and the families who save them. “You see these people and how their lives are changed by a dog,” Mr. Habeeb said. “If you have one of these sweet little animals that give you unconditional love and they just want to snuggle with you and play with you, it really changes your mindset,” he said. “These dogs, they don’t judge you,” Mr. Habeeb said. “They just love you.” Filming started in February, and Mr. Habeeb said he would love to feature a story about a dog in Santa Barbara at some point. Before “To the Rescue,”

Mr. Habeeb was the longtime producer of “The Cheaters” reality show. He has been a longtime shelter dog advocate with his Forever Family Rescue Foundation. Mr. Habeeb noted people are surprised by the variety of breeds at local shelters. “People come to me and say, ‘I really want this breed. I really want this full-blood German shepherd. Or I want a labradoodle.’ They go, ‘I know we can’t find one in a rescue,’ ” Mr. Habeeb said. “That’s not true.” And sometimes people are surprised by a specific breed they weren’t planning to get. The rock star found that out with the Chihuahua. “Now this Chihuahua is traveling the world, doing rock shows and living the life,” Mr. Habeeb said. “That was a fantastic story.” email: dmason@newspress.com

Board: Boat’s evacuation method was inefficient, crew lacked training in critical areas conception

Continued from Page A1

the salon department, completely unattended. Eleven months prior to the Conception tragedy, another Truth Aquatics boat, Vision, had experienced a fire from unattended lithium ion batteries being charged, but two passengers quickly extinguished the fire. With these factors in mind, board member Jennifer Homendy said the circumstances that allowed for the accidental fire did not rely on what actually started it. “Some people may walk away and say, ‘Well, I wish I knew what the ignition source was,’” she stated. “But the key here is that the focus should be on the conditions that were present that allowed the fire to go undetected and to grow to a point where it prevented the evacuation.” One condition she was referring to was the lack of interconnected smoke detectors (including lack of any detectors in the room in which the fire ignited), which board members said would have awakened the passengers and crew members who were all asleep at the time. Another condition was that the two means of escape from the bunk room where the passengers slept both led through the same space, and they were insufficient for rapid evacuation. In addition, staff pointed out flaws in the egress configuration, which would have required all 39 individuals on board to climb a ladder, crawl to the center of a bunk, stand and pull up through the hatch. “The configuration would have been challenging for anyone to navigate without practice, and further would have been extremely difficult to evacuate an injured or unconscious person through the hatch,” said Marcel Muise, the survival factors group chairman. Andrew Ehlers, the operations group chairman, found that the requirement for a roving watch was underscored in the vessel’s

certification. “Had a crew member been awake, it was likely he or she would have discovered the fire at an early stage,” he said. “The absence of the required roving patrol delayed detection and allowed for the growth of the fire and directly led to the high number of fatalities in the accident.” It was also determined that crew’s training lacked in critical areas, including many examples of lack of knowledge of emergency duties. Three crew members had not even been involved in a fire drill since they’d been working on board. On top of that, in-person safety briefings with crew members were not completed until passengers had already slept on board. “It was clear that the company was not verifying that the newest crew members understood or even read the policies,” said Carrie Bell, the human factors group chairman. She referred to this failure as a “normalization of deviance,” desensitizing crew members to non-standard practices, and creating a poor overall safety culture and lack of involvement. Many more seemingly minor oversights were found to contribute to the Conception fire, including a regulation that a PA system be audible in passenger accommodation spaces. Staff did not find the status of the PA system on Conception, but did find that the PA system on Vision had been disconnected in the passenger accommodation spaces “so that people sleeping in the area would not be bothered by routine announcements.” This led staff to believe the same could have occurred on Conception, another alert system that could have awakened the sleeping passengers. Staff found that weather and sea conditions were not factors in the accident, the use of alcohol or other drugs by the deck crew likely was not a factor, the exact timing of ignition cannot be determined and the U.S. Coast

Guard does not have an effective means of verifying compliance with roving patrol requirements for small passenger vessels. Most notably, finding No. 17 stated, “Had the safety management system been implemented, Truth Aquatics could have identified unsafe practices and fire risks on Conception and taken corrective action before the accident occurred.” The NTSB made 10 new safety recommendations, seven for the U.S. Coast Guard, two for the Passenger Vessel Association, the Sport Fishing Association of California and the National Association of Charter Operators, and one reiteration of a previous recommendation. Each recommendation addresses each oversight found in the Conception investigation, and they reiterated their previous recommendation for the U.S. Coast Guard to require safety management systems for all passenger vessels, an action Robert Sumwalde, the chairman of the NTSB, said is long overdue. “The Congress mandated that 10 years ago. The NTSB recommended it eight years ago. It’s past time to act,” he said. “The recommendations that we’ve issued today, if implemented, and that’s the key, if implemented, would reduce the risk of future passenger fires going undetected. It would ensure that escape routes exit to different spaces, improving the chances for survival for passengers and crew. “On behalf of all my colleagues on the board and the entire NTSB, we want to give our sincere condolences to the family and friends of those who have been lost in this tragedy,” Mr. Sumwalde said. “The reason that we are meeting and the whole reason for the NTSB safety investigations is to learn from this accident to prevent similar tragedies in the future.” Truth Aquatics Inc. did not respond to requests for comment on the matter. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Santa Barbara County on border between red and orange tiers board

Continued from Page A2 measures that protect those vulnerable from COVID-19 while allowing those who are not in grave danger from the coronavirus to resume life as normal. “I would prefer that our county government reject the idea of draconian regulation for failing to comply with Health Officer orders,” Mr. Adam said. He added, “COVID-19 has become a pretext for the government healthcare complex to institute a command-and-control scheme on the people of Santa Barbara County and elsewhere.” Mr. Lavagnino pointed out that, as of Tuesday’s meeting, only 12 people out of Santa Barbara County’s approximately 450,000-person population are hospitalized. To enact punitive measures like fines, he said, would be an overreach of government authority. “We’ve got to put it into perspective, and at some point, we have to allow people to kind of get back to reality a little bit,” he said. He added, “I think that this is just one more notch in the belt of government, you know, kind of putting our foot down.” First District supervisor Das Williams said that there is an “imperative” for Santa Barbara to move to the orange and later the yellow tier, and for people to be able to proceed with their lives, have their children educated, not have their jobs threatened, and not have their businesses destroyed. All of those he said “are contingent upon us being able to continue to make progress

in reduction of transmission,” so he voted for having the extra enforcement mechanism. Second District supervisor Gregg Hart remarked that he didn’t see allowing for the issuing of fines as a “crackdown,” but rather as an “incremental, nuanced tool that will add to the range of enforcement activities” the county has available. Third District supervisor Joan Hartmann also supported the ordinance, likening the fines as a deterrent akin to CHP officers on Highway 101 preventing one from driving over the speed limit. In other business, the Board of Supervisors also accepted a COVID-19 update from Public Health director Dr. Van DoReynoso, which reported that Santa Barbara County is right on the border between the red and orange tiers. Dr. Do-Reynoso told the board that Isla Vista is currently experiencing an outbreak, with those testing positive for COVID-19 exhibiting mild symptoms. “We are not seeing serious symptoms at this point,” she said. The Public Health director added that COVID-19 testing in Isla Vista will ramp up with additional hours and the county Public Health Department will be partnering with UCSB to do contact tracing to contain the spread of the virus. The Board of Supervisors also unanimously voted to accept a five-year capital improvement program and to accept an annual update from the Central Coast Community Member Agency. email: jgrega@newspress.com

‘I needed to do something with more meaning’ therapy

Continued from Page A4 glamorous, but it was not good for me in terms of my work/life balance,” she said. Then she gave birth to her first son and realized she wanted to make a change. “If I was going to pursue a career and be a mom, I needed to do something with more meaning,” she said. “And so I felt like, gosh, I could really help. I can help people be happier and have better lives.” She went back to graduate school at The Institute of Transpersonal Psychology in Palo Alto and opened up a practice in Burlingame in San Mateo County. Ms. Freed kept her love for writing and composed “IS: Your Authentic Spirituality Unleashed” (Hay House, 2013), a guide to managing a spiritual life. She decided to write “Starting Therapy” after chatting with its eventual publisher. He said there was a need for a guide to therapy, and she agreed. Over about a year and a half,

she chiseled away at the book sporadically. It was published early in 2020, and her first book signings were scheduled for March. COVID19 got in the way of many of her planned promotions. She provides therapists with a free ebook to preview to clients. Ms. Freed said she hopes it can become a useful resource, she said. “I think a lot of hurt could be mitigated if it was more routine to add therapy to your self-care routine,” she said. “Nobody apologizes for taking care of their teeth or taking care of their bodies going to the doctor every year, whatever. Having someone to talk to tease things out psychologically, it rounds things out.” Ms. Freed describes therapy as preventative care for the mind. “I don’t want people to feel like because they go to therapy there, there’s something wrong with them. I feel like it’s more an indication of wellness to take care of yourself.”

“Writing, to me, is simply thinking through my fingers.� — Isaac Asimov

ARIES — Difficult challenges that have been lingering on the sidelines will probably become more prominent today, Aries. There is a strong possibility that things will come to a head. The problem was easy to overlook at first, but now that it has taken on a life of its own, you may have to consult someone who is more of an expert on these types of situations than you are. TAURUS — You could be the one everyone runs to for advice today, Taurus. You’re the one with all the answers who can easily pull the rabbit out of a hat. Trust your judgment and intellectual know-how. Feel free to push yourself to the limit. If you go too far, you can always take a step back. If you never drive all the way to the boundaries, you will never know how far you can go. GEMINI — You may get frustrated when you find that people aren’t as sensitive to a situation as you want them to be, Gemini. While you’re looking to make a strong connection with someone, almost wanting to take possession of his or her feelings, that person, in turn, is trying to pull back. People are apt to gravitate toward rational facts rather than intense, smothering emotions. CANCER — A small spark in a dry field is apt to whip the hill into flames, Cancer. A raging wildfire may be underway by the end of the day. Know that you’re one of the biggest perpetrators, but don’t feel badly about it. Fire is destructive but also necessary. Clearing out brush and offering a fresh new place in which new growth can flourish is an important part of the cycle of nature. LEO — Put on some lively music you can dance to and really kick up your heels, Leo. It’s time to put away the sour mood and have fun. You will find that the more you engage in intellectual discussions with people today, the more you will get warmed up to the idea that life should be fun, not the pain and stress you sometimes make it out to be. VIRGO — This is a tremendously expansive time for you, Virgo, and there is very little that will stop your momentum once you get going. Your eyes are alive with a spark that says that you’re ready to take on the world. Believe this about yourself and others will believe in you. There is a great deal of luck on your side today, so take a gamble in a +*#!2 +1$)"$ certain part of your life.

LIBRA — This is a good time to put things in writing, Libra. Your gift with words is apt to shine today as you write a proposal, email, or love poem. You’re able to communicate very well when you put your sensitive emotions aside and concentrate on what you think instead of what you feel. Expand your influence by focusing on those things that require a more cerebral approach. SCORPIO — The day’s energy is apt to be lively, making it much easier to get the things done that you need to do, Scorpio. You will find people are more than eager to help you. The trick is to integrate your leadership abilities with the knowledge available from other people. You will create a winning combination of power and strength to put to use in just about any realm of your life. SAGITTARIUS —Obstacles that you have ignored are suddenly starting to expand beyond reasonable proportions, Sagittarius. Be careful of what you say as a result, because your words could spread like wildfire. This is no laughing matter. Difficulties in your world are likely to crop up, and you will find your ego threatened. Try to keep some sort of emotional barrier. CAPRICORN — This is a terrific day for you, Capricorn, and you will glow brightly from head to toe as you radiate your true inner self to the world. You will find profound joy in the simplest, most ordinary circumstances. If you run out of things to say, feel free to whistle a tune. This isn’t likely to happen today, since you will overflow with things to talk about. AQUARIUS — Tap into the boisterous, lighthearted mood of the day instead of getting bogged down with heavy emotions, Aquarius. This is a good time to engage your mind rather than let your heart take control. Be aware of the expansive nature of the day that allows you to think clearly without getting bothered by emotions. Take the cerebral route to figuring out what you need to do to smooth any bumps in the road. PISCES — Your optimism will be inspiring today, Pisces. You will find that your lighthearted approach is perfectly suited to taking care of any issue that arises. Toss a few jokes into the mix and remind other people that it isn’t necessary to take things so seriously. The sun is shining as you proudly parade down the street with your head held high.

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.

Disneyland, other parks must wait

By DAVE MASON

EDGAR, Linda Beth Kane

NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

The Happiest Place on Earth is going to have to keep waiting, at least for the foreseeable future. Disneyland and other large theme parks have learned they can’t reopen until the cases in their counties drop to below one per 100,000. Dr. Mark Ghaly, the state’s secretary of Health and Human Services, announced the theme park reopening guidelines Tuesday. That means Los Angeles County, home to Universal and Six Flags Magic Mountain, and Orange County, the location of Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm, would have to move to the least severe tier, yellow. Orange County is still in the red tier and would have to move into the orange tier before ending up in the yellow. Los Angeles County remains in the most severe tier, purple. Currently only nine counties in the state are in the yellow tier. Dr. Ghaly, who called theme parks a “high-risk setting,” said he couldn’t predict when parks will reopen. “There is a path forward. We don’t know when, but we know how.” When parks reopen, they’ll be restricted to 25% capacity and face masks will be required except when people are eating or drinking. The state also would require a reservation system that screens guests in advance of COVID-19 symptoms. Not unexpectedly, Disney objected to the state’s guidelines.

Linda Beth Kane Edgar died October 7, 2020 in Oakland, CA at the age of 80. She was born in Fall River, Massachusetts on May 16, 1940, the daughter of James and Pearl Kane. She is survived by her sons, Randall and Russell, her sister Jennifer, 4 grandchildren Jonah, Annalee, Jack and Carly, and her two nieces Gina and Stephanie. Linda graduated from B.M.C.Durfee High School in Fall River, MA in 1958 and Lesley College in Cambridge, MA in 1962. She worked as an elementary school teacher in Woburn, MA before marrying William Edgar in Providence, RI in 1966. After the birth of her twin sons, Linda lived and worked in Simsbury, CT and Sudbury, MA where she spent ten years in each location. While in Connecticut, Linda received her Master’s degree in School Counseling from Central Connecticut State College in 1980 while also working full time in retail sales at the Weathervane clothing store. Linda is warmly remembered as a passionate fan of movies, theater in New York City, the Boston Red Sox, tennis and shopping (often for others). She had an infectious, engaging way about her, making close friends easily wherever she went. Linda cherished her family and was a devoted mother and grandmother. She loved traveling to China, Uganda, South Africa, Jordan, Israel and Italy among many other destinations, often with her sister, brother-in-law Bob, and his daughter Wendy. She later moved to Santa Barbara, CA where she was an avid tennis player, and volunteered much of her time at local women’s shelters, tutored young children at Roosevelt Elementary School and ushered at the Santa Barbara Film Festival and its Music Festival. A small family service will be held at the Temple Beth El Cemetery in Fall River, MA where she will be laid to rest,. A larger, virtual memorial service celebrating her life will also be held. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Jewish Federation of Greater Santa Barbara which runs a vital counseling program where Linda supported fellow community members. Donations can be made online at jewishsantabarbara.org/donate. The family is grateful for her many friends, her family, as well as the staff at both Linden Ponds in Higham, MA and Sunrise Senior Living of Oakland Hills in Oakland, CA, where Linda received caring attention in the last few years of her life.

SB City Council approves interim bike share program By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The Santa Barbara City Council voted Tuesday to approve an interim bike share program in the downtown corridor. The council voted unanimously in support for the program and will now work with BCycle, a bike share operator with 10-plus years of experience and the backing of the Trek Bicycle Corporation. BCycle will place some 200 to 250 bikes and dock stations on certain portions of State Street, which will remain for the next three years during the pilot program. The council approved Phase One of the project implementation Tuesday. In order to place additional bikes and dock stations along the waterfront, a coastal development permit is required from the city’s Planning Commission, according to the staff report. Other than some of the language included in the staff recommendation, all council members spoke in favor of the project due to the possibilities it opens up for alternative transportation. Tuesday’s approval by the City Council came after the city’s Historic Landmarks Commission denied the program. After the HLC denied the program, city staff shifted the program to more of an interim program than permanent, while also moving the dock stations from the sidewalks into the street, much like the parklets have been moved onto the main corridor to help economic recovery during the pandemic. The city is not allowing bicyclists to ride in the 500 block due to increased foot traffic, and the dock stations would not be placed in this corridor, but would appear in the 400 and 500 blocks, said Rob Dayton, Transportation Planning & Parking Manager for the city. Several commenters spoke out against the bike share program, and discussed the disrespect shown by local bicyclists towards pedestrians in the downtown area. Residents cited an increase in the number of altercations, near collisions or actual collisions that have occurred since the city shut down the main corridor of the downtown area to vehicle traffic. Others argued in favor of the program, explaining that it offers a new tool for people to use for transportation in the downtown area. Several councilmembers also expressed an interest in having the program expand to their respective districts, such as the Eastside, Westside, Mesa, Coast Village Road, and upper State Street. Council member Alejandra Gutierrez expressed concern with the dock stations being located so close to the parklets, explaining that because of the pandemic she wanted to be respectful of people’s space. Mr. Dayton said the city would work with local businesses in order to get the locations right for the dock stations. “We don’t want to be moving it later, we want to get it right the first time,” he said. Mr. Dayton added that the bikes are around $2,000 each and are “made to live on the street.” “That doesn’t mean they can’t be scratched or damaged in some way… but they put up with a lot of punishment,” he said. Due to the temporary nature of the bike share program, as well as the ongoing experiment of the State Street promenade, council member Eric Friedman argued that now is the best time as any to find out if this program would work in Santa Barbara. “We have the opportunity to gather real data and see how things work,” he said. “I think the worst outcome would be that we come up with a long-term plan, that includes bikes, and we implement it, and there’s a lot of unintended issues that come up. “I think we’re actually going to make the long-term plan a lot better by moving forward with it today.” He also requested that city staff work with HLC member Anthony Grumbine on where the docks should be placed downtown. Council member Mike Jordan supported the sentiments shared by Mr. Friedman. “I’m really reminded that this is an opportunity,” he said. “The whole street is a pilot and will continue to be a pilot, I think, and I’m not willing to let … the pursuit of perfect be an enemy of good in this particular case. “This is so potentially good that I’m happy to make a mistake and have to fix it, rather than having to keep putting this through a process and process and meeting and subcommittee to think we’re still doing the right thing.” email: mwhite@newspress.com

statement. “Nevertheless, the State of California continues to ignore this fact, instead mandating arbitrary guidelines that it knows are unworkable and that hold us to a standard vastly different

from other reopened businesses and state-operated facilities,” Mr. Potrock said. In Florida, Walt Disney World reopened in July. email: dmason@newspress.com

Continued from Page A1 campus. Her friend, junior Ronin Suzuki, also got pushback for wanting to participate in the protest. “Just getting back on campus with hybrid learning would be better than Zoom,” he said. “I’d prefer to be inperson full time, but it’s not possible at this stage.” At the Oct. 13 board meeting, Dr. Frann Wageneck, assistant superintendent, explained why a full inperson plan wasn’t being pursued. Even though an order by Dr. Henning Ansorg, health officer for the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department, allows secondary schools to reopen in the red tier, schools need to maintain guidelines. In order to keep six feet apart, SB Unified schools would fill more classrooms and need approximately eight additional teachers per school. And there’s not that many teachers for hire, Dr. Wageneck said. “As a district, we also have many things to learn from our students,” Superintendent Hilda Maldonado said in a statement to the News-Press. “I heard from students today that they are eager to see their teachers and peers in person, a goal that we all share.” SB Unified Staff met with Sierra Chesluk, the student who organized the protest, afterward. Members of the media and community were not allowed inside, as capacity was limited. Ms. Capps said district employees were able to discuss the hybrid-learning planning process with students, led by Superintendent Maldonado. “I was glad to meet with students (Tuesday) who are justifiably anxious for (in-person learning) to happen and

grateful that they took the initiative. And I’ve heard from many who share concerns about returning too soon,” Ms. Capps said. Students left their signs at the office doors and went home, though a few community members lingered. School board candidate Elrawd MacLearn came to the protest on his lunch break to talk to parents. A few community members had signs with Mr. MacLearn’s and Mr. Campbell’s pictures and walked around downtown campaigning for the two candidates. Charles Cole, a Republican candidate for the State Assembly, heard about the protest from Mr. Campbell a few days beforehand. He said he came to support the kids, though added he would like to see new board members elected. The community involvement had political leaning, but the students were focused on their academic and social lives. They weren’t smiling under their masks or soaking in attention. They didn’t energetically chant like one expects at protests. Most of the time, they just stood with signs raised. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Dodgers roll to Game 1 win behind Kershaw, offense ARLINGTON, Tex. — Clayton Kershaw has had an up and down postseason career for the Dodgers. While he has shined in the regular season throughout most of his career, there have been some bumps in the road for him in the playoffs. Tuesday was not one of those occasions. Kershaw was masterful for six innings and the Dodgers’ offense exploded for an 8-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 1 of the World Series. The veteran left-hander allowed one run on two hits with eight strikeouts and one walk in six innings to lead the Dodgers in a dominant performance. “It’s great to get this series going with a win, that’s the biggest thing,” Kershaw told FOX Sports after the game.

LOCAL TEMPS At the plate and in the field, Cody Bellinger shined. Bellinger ripped a two-run homer in the fourth and robbed Austin Meadows of an extra-base hit with a spectacular leaping catch against the centerfield wall in the ninth inning. Holding on to a 2-1 lead going to the bottom of the fifth, the Dodgers blew it open with four runs in the frame. Mookie Betts, who finished 2-for-4 with a solo home run, stole two bases in the fifth inning. Max Muncy added a run-scoring double in the sixth — he finished with two runs batted in, as did Bellinger. Game 2 of the World Series is set for 5:08 p.m. PDT tonight at Globe Life Field in Arlington. Hard-throwing right-hander Walker Buehler will get the start for Los Angeles, while lefty Blake Snell will go for Tampa Bay. The Dodgers are in search of the franchise’s first World Series title since 1988.
