Dustdin Guthrie, one of Sandbar’s managers, said the loss from New Year’s Eve will be “pretty huge.” “We’ll be lucky to make probably 20% of our usual sales, hopefully,” he told the NewsPress. “We’re just taking it day by day hoping for the best and trying to do takeout and get as much as we can from that, which isn’t much compared to what we usually get.” However, he said Sandbar is offering a deal to customers that if they spend more than $50, they get Please see LOCKDOWN on A7

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK What is usually a night full of champagne and locals eagerly waiting for the ball to drop at restaurants, bars and hotels will be a lot quieter this New Year’s Eve. With the regional stay-athome order extended until Jan. 21, many local food and drink establishments will choose to close their doors early on New Year’s Eve at a time when they’re only able to serve food to go. State Street is typically bustling with activity on the last day of the year, with residents dressed up and ready to reflect on the previous year and ring in the new one. Sandbar, for example, typically hosts a dance party with club music and stays open well into the night. This year, the Mexican restaurant and tequila bar can

By ANNELISE HANSHAW Managers of local car dealerships have seen their customers’ behavior change during the pandemic. At the onset of COVID-19, dealerships struggled. “When COVID first hit in March, the first month or two slowed down a bit. That’s when we cut back our staff to about 50%,” said Brian Terp, general manager of Bunnin Chevrolet Cadillac in Santa Barbara. According to Edmunds, an online automotive resource based in Santa Monica, April saw a 53% decrease in auto sales compared to April 2019. It was a 30-year low for the industry. Hoping to coax buyers back, manufacturers offered 0% interest-finance deals. It’s the highest level of 0% deals since 2004, Edmunds reported in a news release. “Right when everything started, (deals) got aggressive,” Mr. Terp said, noting the financing of deals with no interest for seven years and no payments for months. “It seemed like everyone was trying to find a solution to help everyone out.” In the spring, many manufacturing plants shut down, and workers contracted the virus. The production slowed way down — which became a problem when demand increased. “There is less supply,” Bill Fogg, general manager at Santa

Carbajal opposes expansion of oil and gas drilling By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal has joined 21 House colleagues from California in expressing strong opposition to any expansion of oil and gas drilling off the state’s coast. He was among those signing a letter opposing efforts by the Trump administration to expand offshore oil and gas drilling along the state’s coast. Reps. Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara; Alan Lowenthal; Jared Huffman and Mike Levin demanded the Trump administration immediately withdraw any new oil and gas leasing off California from consideration in any future federal program in a letter to Interior Secretary David Bernhardt. “The inevitable onshore and offshore risks associated with Please see LETTER on A7

He said foot traffic has been down this year but online sales have increased. Mr. Fogg estimates this year’s sales to be 75-80% of last year’s. He’s content with the outcome because he has kept 150 employees throughout the pandemic. “That’s the goal: Keep everybody employed, happy and healthy,� he said. Mr. Terp has started to hire some of the employees he let go in the spring, but he said sales are comparable to last year even with less staff.

“We haven’t really found that the pandemic has affected our business at all. Zero,� he said. The current legislation affecting him most is the statewide elimination of diesel engines. Perturbed by the taxes, many diesel owners have come to Mission City Auto Center to switch to trucks with standard gasoline. He didn’t notice a change in the number of people financing their purchase. Edmunds projects just a 5.7% decrease this quarter from the fourth quarter of 2019.

“I don’t think as many people are stepping on the lot. They’re mostly doing it through the internet,� he said. Customers from all over California called in orders to get delivered to their home. Inventory is currently his main roadblock to making the sale. “Dealers are doing everything they can to make it happen,� he said. The service department slowed down as people stayed home and put fewer miles on their cars, but he said it has recently increased with holiday travel. Not inhibited by manufacturers, Mission City Auto Center has had a great sales year, said owner John Mullins.

Santa Maria teen among first female Eagle Scouts By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Santa Maria resident Sonia Wasserman, 17, will soon get her Eagle Scout badge in the mail as one of the first female Eagle Scouts. Eagle Scout is the highest rank offered by Scouts BSA, the organization formerly known as Boy Scouts. Just about 6% of scouts earn the title. Scouts must earn at least 21 merit badges from a wide range of skill sets and organize a large community service project to achieve this honor. For the young women in the inaugural class of female Eagle Scouts, they’ve had less than two years to complete

these tasks. Scouts BSA opened the organization to female scouts Feb. 1, 2019. Sonia’s father, Robert Wasserman, saw it in the news that day and told Sonia. He is an Eagle Scout himself and so is Sonia’s brother, Allan Wasserman. Mr. Wasserman served as a scoutmaster, and Sonia had been along to many events and family camps with the scouts. She knew she wanted to be a scout and signed up the next day. It wasn’t easy, though. There weren’t any local female troops for her to join, so she had to register as a lone scout with her dad as a Please see SCOUT on A4

While it was harder for Sonia to find opportunities as a lone scout, she got to meet more people along the way.

Her work at Camp Josepho helped her advance two ranks.

mentor. Her first weekend after registering, she earned the rank of scout by memorizing the salute and other introductory materials. She was able to attend meetings held by the male troops with her dad there. And she earned most of her badges by going to camps and workshops. Part of earning Eagle Scout rank is leading a troop, but she didn’t have that option right away. Eventually a female troop of Webelo Cub Scouts (scouts around the age of 10) was established, and Sonia led the young girls. For her community service project, Sonia gathered volunteers who worked more than 100 hours to beautify Orcutt’s American Legion Post 534 headquarters building. The group pulled up weeds, pressure washed the exterior, repaired rotting wood, caulked the exterior, sanded the woodwork, painted and embellished the facade with military emblems.

A general contractor volunteered to supervise the work, and individuals donated to the project. PPG donated paint, but Sonia still used $400 that she earned as a DoorDash driver to provide materials. “I’ve learned a lot of leadership,� she said. “Managing the Eagle project taught me a lot of things. And I learned how to make opportunities for myself and find contacts, and I realized how willing people are to be helpful.� The most helpful, perhaps, was her dad. She says he’s often busy (as is she), but they’d schedule times to go to meetings and camps and stick to it. “It was a great experience you know as a father to have a better way to bond with my daughter that I wouldn’t have been able to do I don’t think if we didn’t have Scouts BSA,� Mr. Wasserman said. Sonia is a busy high school senior who throughout her time earning badges and coordinating community service, also had school obligations. She still signed up for Scouts despite having AP classes and varsity athletics to worry about. And she’s really happy she did. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

well as your head. LIBRA: Other people may tend to snap under the emotional pressure of the day, Libra, but you’re well suited to soar through with flying colors. You’re ruled by your emotions and you have no problem navigating rough waters. Other people may look to you for strength and support. Trust yourself and try not to get lured off course by conflicting opinions that don’t seem to sit right with you. SCORPIO: There’s a need for decisive action today, Scorpio, and you’re the one fit for the job. Strong wills and forceful opinions will win out. Others aren’t likely to be easily manipulated. Everyone has a voice, and they won’t be afraid to use it. Make sure that you speak up on your behalf or your best interests may be lost. Stand up for yourself. It’s now or never. SAGITTARIUS: There may be tension and opposition today, Sagittarius, so be prepared. It could seem like everyone wants to rattle your cage. Stand strong. There are forceful opinions crying out to be heard. The more stubborn you are, the harder it will be for important information to flow freely. Protect your interests by standing your ground, but make sure you don’t step on other people’s toes in the process.CAPRICORN: What ails you now can be eliminated if you’re willing to stand up and say exactly what needs to be said, Capricorn. Going with the flow may be an easy route to follow, but it might not always take you down a path that leads to the fulfillment of your dreams. Be a bit more aggressive about your position today and outwardly project yourself as the true master of your destiny. AQUAIRUS: It takes two to tango, Aquarius. Remember that life isn’t a one-way street. There needs to be a bit of give and take if you expect others to treat you the way you want to be treated. Don’t let people take control when it comes to taking charge of your own life. Others may be emotional and stubborn. Don’t waste your breath with useless drivel. Say something meaningful. PISCES: It may be hard to resolve anything today, Pisces. It could be that there’s an overwhelming resistance making it difficult to act according to plan. Today isn’t a good day to fight. If things don’t seem to be going your way, don’t push it. Trying to strong-arm the situation will only aggravate things and make them worse. You may need to make some compromises in order to maintain the peace.

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.

“I don’t know what the future may hold, but I know who holds the future.� — Ralph Abernathy

ARIES: Intense emotions are apt to dominate the scene today, Aries. Don’t do anything halfway. It’s time to give it your all or nothing. You have the power to cut to the heart of the issue. Don’t hesitate. If you meet opposition, stay strong. There’s a valuable lesson to be learned. If you’re being true to yourself, you should have no trouble overcoming any obstacle that stands in your path. TAURUS: There’s an overwhelming intensity about the day that might make it difficult for you to maintain the peace, Taurus. Strong opinions and courageous emotions are clashing in a climactic fashion. You might find yourself in the middle of conflicting forces if you aren’t careful. Make sure you take care of yourself and your needs before you try to patch up things for everybody else. GEMINI: You may feel extra self-confident today, Gemini, making you more able to say and do the things you might normally keep inside. Be warned, however, that you’re apt to run into some powerful, unexpected opposition. The genius in you wants to come out and show others what you’re made of, but other people may have reason to find fault. Don’t let others’ disapproval hinder your progress. CANCER: You might find that others’ strong opinions dictate today’s actions, Cancer. The atmosphere is quite intense, so you might want to lay low and let others have their way. Don’t try to put up a fight. Unexpected opposition may come out of nowhere and take control. There’s a powerful force at work asking you to do things with more passion than usual. LEO: Create your own reality, Leo. It could be that you have the puppet strings in your hands, but you’re too afraid to use them. Don’t shy away from responsibility. Take your time and don’t lose sight of your goals. The stakes are extra high today, and you will find that the slightest movement is magnified several times over. Be careful how you use your words. They won’t be taken lightly. VIRGO: Things that you thought were obvious may not seem quite as clear as you’d like them to be, Virgo. Be aware that there may be some intense opposition to your plans. Take care of other people and their emotions. You will find that a wall might suddenly go up, putting a harsh barrier between you and your goals. Consider your heart as

California extends stay-at-home order 256 COVID-19 cases, 3 deaths reported in SB County By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

During a California Health and Human Services update, Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly broke the news that the Southern California region will remain under the stay-at-home order with an unknown ending date. Southern California and the San Joaquin Valley regions are still at 0% available intensive care capacity, and projections do not expect the regions to meet or exceed 15% capacity. These projections will be updated daily, and the regions will be released from the order when they’re projected to reach the threshold. Although cities and counties within a region may not be at that 0% capacity, Dr. Ghaly said the regional grouping is important to ensure care to underserved Californians. “The point of a regional approach is to make sure that we take care of as many Californians with those regional assets as possible, and this is what we’re doing in Southern California and the San Joaquin Valley,� he said. Dr. Ghaly also explained that the 0% available capacity doesn’t mean that every ICU bed is taken. He said it means the state estimates that too many resources are being taken by COVID-19 patients. “From the beginning, we have seen that our whole healthcare delivery system is not just available to take care of our COVID patients, but all our patients,� he said. “So when we have seen hospitals with ICU capacity used up for COVID above 30%, we consider that ICU in that facility, or that region’s ICU capacity really ill-prepared to serve and support individuals with other sorts of urgent and emergent needs.� Santa Barbara County’s ICU availability, as reported by the Department of Public Health

Tuesday, is 6.6%. It is unclear whether this percentage is representative of the methodology explained by Dr. Ghaly or is the number of total ICU beds available. Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital acts as a regional referral center taking in patients for specialty services such as stroke, cardiovascular and trauma care. It has begun to see and accept transfer requests from areas without any ICU capacity. “In recent weeks, our hospitals have accepted limited transfers for a range of critical care needs including some from hospitals with no ICU capacity. Every request is reviewed by a triage team 24/7 to assure that we retain capacity for our immediate community. We are temporarily reducing nonemergent inpatient admissions that require hospital beds and staffing while we prioritize surging urgent and emergent needs,� said Cottage Health spokesperson Maria Zate in an email to the News-Press. Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital has been adding beds as the COVID-19 case count increases. “But beds alone aren’t enough. Our care teams are highly trained for complex care, and staffing for the increasing numbers of COVID patients continues to be an ongoing challenge,� she said. “Cottage Health has exceptional staff who are working around the clock, but every staff member is crucial.� She requests community members stay home to stop the spread of the virus. “We are asking the community to help – we know this is hard, but it’s never been more important. Every person in our community has an important role in the effort to stay safe and keep the virus from overwhelming local healthcare providers,� she said. Please see COVID-19 on A7

No in-person celebrations at restaurants LOCKDOWN

a $10 gift card. At Finney’s Crafthouse & Kitchen, the doors are typically open until 11 p.m. on New Year’s Eve for residents to stop in and have some drinks and food before heading to wherever they choose to watch the ball drop and celebrate. This year, the crafthouse will close at 8 p.m. for the curfew and is only able to open for takeout. “It’s a huge impact because it’s usually pretty packed and busy,” Finney’s General Manager Katy Thomas told the News-Press. “Obviously we’re losing out on a ton, probably tens of thousands.” She added that it will be a regular day for the most part. “We’re doing what we can to keep the doors open, so it’s hard to offer up any type of promotional things like that,” Ms. Thomas said. “Hopefully things start to change a little bit in 2021.” At Joe’s Cafe, manager Joey Somerville referred to the pandemic and the need to avoid crowds. He told the News-Press, “Hopefully it’ll be nothing like a normal New Year’s.” Joe’s Cafe is also only able to serve takeout from its usual hours of 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and it will not change for this New Year’s Eve. “We’re hoping to see a lot of people out on the streets,” Mr. Somerville said, referring to the to-go business. “Because we’ve been here for so long, we’re lucky to have a big amount of regulars that visit on New Year’s, both early and late.” New Year’s Eve dinner at Joe’s Cafe typically starts at 5 p.m. and continues on, and the bar stays open until 12:30 a.m. on New Year’s Day. Mr. Somerville said that if staff is lucky and has a good day, the restaurant will make about 10 to 15% of what it normally would on Dec. 31. “It’s obviously a big night, but not this year,” the manager said. “And usually, New Year’s Eve is a time when restaurants are able to raise prices for a special occasion, but we want to go with what Joe’s does on a normal basis, and hopefully our regular crowds appreciate that everything will be pretty reasonable.” Joe’s Cafe will be open on New Year’s Day at 10 a.m. as well, for those needing a hearty brunch to-go. By the same token, at the Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara, the typical gatherings and dance parties will also not occur this New Year’s Eve. “This year, obviously, is night and day different from any years that have passed with celebrations,” Ritz-Carlton Bacara General Manager Steven Janicek told the News-Press. Typically, the Goleta resort’s five restaurants and other lounges serve food and drinks to guests and those guests are able to enjoy live entertainment and DJs. This year, the hotel will simply be offering room service and food to go for members and people from the community. However, within those offerings will be special New Year’s Eve menus and party favors for guests to celebrate in their rooms. “Everything is in the privacy of their guests’ rooms, but we’re making the best of it,” Mr. Janicek said. “We communicate heavily with our guests pre-arrival so they know what to expect,” he said. “Most guests are from Southern California, so they’re aware and compliant with state and county regulations. It’ll be a lot quieter than years past, but it’ll still be a celebration for people to look backwards and reflect and look forward with optimism.”

Joe’s Cafe will stick to its regular operating hours this New Year’s Eve, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., as opposed to keeping the bar open until 12:30 a.m. New Year’s Day, and management hopes to make 10 to 15% of what the restaurant usually does on the holiday.

Finney’s Crafthouse & Kitchen, left, typically serves as a dinner-and-drink stop for residents until 11 p.m. before they find a place to watch the ball drop and celebrate. At right, Sandbar usually holds a dance party with club music on New Year’s Eve, but it will only serve takeout this year and close at its regular hour.

Because New Year’s Eve is one of the busiest nights of the year for the RitzCarlton Bacara, Mr. Janicek said he would put the impact of the inability to gather under the banner: “significant.” “Not only does it go late, but it starts early the next morning. Typically we’re

sold out,” the general manager said. “This impacts a lot of people — not just business levels, but all those ladies and gentlemen actively working throughout the resort earning incomes are not going to be with us this New Year’s Eve.” The resort’s restaurants will operate at

their normal hours for takeout, and room service will stay open but with a reduced closing time. “It’s so hard because some of these restaurants, us included, have been through a challenging year, and maybe we’ve hit bottom and we’ll come back

in January and February and the year will be stronger as we move into it,” Mr. Janicek said. “That’s all we can hope for — that we will become safer.” email: gmccormick@newspress.com

The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum’s new, COVID-19-borne educational program, Maritime on the Move, is now offering booklets in English and Spanish. Maritime on the Move brings museum-quality experiences to sites throughout Santa Barbara County, incorporating engaging activities for students to enjoy outdoors while exploring local ecosystems and biomes in their own backyards. Each activity or field trip is tailored to individual needs and adapted for all grade levels. Materials include an activity booklet, infographics and videos to introduce each area. Pioneered with more than 150 middle school students from Carpinteria in February, they were initially focused on Carpinteria’s salt marsh, beach, tar pits and seal rookery, but the museum prepared more for the Santa Barbara Harbor and Oso Flaco Lake in Guadalupe. Materials on the Santa Ynez Valley and Lompoc are also in the works. Soon the program will be offered in several modes: in the field in-person with a naturalist, as a self-guided tour, live and/

The museum has been redefining its programs to continue to serve and educate the community while complying with social and safety restrictions, keeping in mind the growing body of evidence linking direct exposure to nature as essential for a child’s healthy physical and emotional development. Programs that were previously offered by the museum in schools and on field trips are now offered

via video and virtual components, self-guided tours in the field, individual activity kits, teachertraining materials and guided tour maps. The museum’s goal is to instill a sense of motivation in children to take action to keep the area’s natural world healthy and develop the critical thinking skills needed to understand the complexities of ecological problems faced today.

In coastal communities, where livelihoods are built around fishing, tourism and recreation, it is critically important to guard against oil leaks or spills that could harm these ocean dependent economies and fragile marine ecosystems.” They also mentioned the 10year moratorium on offshore drilling in waters off Florida, Georgia and South Carolina, and the 1969 oil spill off Santa Barbara’s coast, which killed thousands of marine mammals, fish and birds.

‘Passionate Pat’ was Westmont’s superfan Coach’s mother and basketball’s enthusiastic supporter passes away at 92 By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Westmont College basketball has lost its No. 1 fan. Pat Moore, mother of former Warriors men’s basketball coach John Moore, passed away on Sunday at age 92. Shortly before her death, she joined her son as an inductee in the Santa Barbara Court of Champions. John Moore was inducted into the Court’s inaugural class of 2014. “Mom’s fanaticism was legendary and her appreciation for the teamwork in the game of basketball was unparalleled,” said John, who served as Westmont’s head coach from 1993 until last spring. “Her deepest love was secured for Westmont Warrior basketball.” Pat Moore earned both a nickname and the 2003 NewsPress headline of “Passionate Pat” from Dave Loveton, the team’s beat writer at the time. “My mom has been passionate about the game of basketball and supported all four of her children,” said John Moore, who played at Los Alamitos High and Cypress College before starring as a point guard at Westmont from

1976 to 1978. His first basketball memory of his mother came during his time at Los Alamitos. “I remember people kind of gawking at her,” Moore said. “She would wait until it was quiet and pick the most opportune moment to let the officials know they made the wrong call. “I’ve never seen anyone quite like my mom.” One of her go-to lines was, “Try using your good eye next time.” Before moving to Santa Barbara six years ago, Pat Moore would hitch rides to Westmont’s games from the parents of players who lived in Orange County. “Her support of the Warriors goes all the way back to 1976, and her memories about favorite teams, players and moments continue to astound me,” Moore said. His 422 assists in just two seasons still ranks fourth alltime at Westmont. He returned to the school to set its record for basketball coaching victories with 588 during 27 seasons. His younger brother, Michael, also played for the Warriors from 1983 to 1985. Their oldest brother, Craig, had been a standout swimmer and football player.

Pat Moore’s only daughter, Beth, played on UCLA’s NCAA championship women’s basketball team of 1978. Pat most recently cheered on the Cate girls’ basketball team, which is now coached by Beth’s daughter, Laura Beth Moore. John Moore said his mother’s passion for basketball was rooted in her Indiana youth. “My mom was born a Hoosier in Milroy,” he said. “Hoosiers are fanatical about the game of basketball. Mom would say that every barn in Indiana had a basketball hoop attached to it. “She claimed that her first game was watched from her mother’s arms as a 2-year-old in 1930, transfixed as her father, J.M. Cowan, played on one of the barnstorming basketball teams that would become the precursor to today’s NBA.” She cheered on John’s teams as fervently during his first five years as a head coach at Fresno Pacific as she did at Westmont. Moore recalled an incident 30 years ago during a game at Southern California College — now known as Vanguard University — in which his mother ran onto the court to argue a traveling call. When the official

called a technical foul, Pat tried to fool him into assessing the penalty to the other team. “She goes over and sits next to SCC coach Bill Reynolds and acts like she’s with their team,” Moore said. “The ploy didn’t work.” “I can’t get away with anything,” his mother said at the time. “All the refs know me.” Moore’s future wife, Rachel, sat with “Passionate Pat” for the first time during a game at Fresno while she was still dating her son. “Just as it begins, everyone moves back four or five rows, away from Pat and me,” she recalled. “I thought, “Where’s everybody going?’” Rachel figured it out after the first perceived bad call. “I stayed with her the whole game,” she said, “because I wanted to get a ring on my finger.” When John Moore started coaching at Westmont, he noticed one of his players arising from his own seat on the bench. “Where are you going?” he asked. “There’s this crazy lady sitting behind me,” the player replied. “That crazy lady’s my mom,” Moore said. The player bit his lip and said, “There goes my playing time.”

Pat Moore, the mother of former Westmont College men’s basketball coach John Moore, cheers on the Warriors several years ago during a game at Murchison Gym. “Passionate Pat,” as she was affectionately known, passed away on Sunday at age 92.

By the turn of the century, Pat Moore’s reputation at Westmont had become the stuff of legend. Several students even escorted her from the reserved section behind the Warriors’ bench to their rooting section across the court during the final, climactic seconds of a sold-out game against arch-rival Biola. “All of a sudden, there was a thunderous roar,” coach Moore recalled. “I can never remember being distracted in a timeout before. It was a completely unexpected sight as I lifted my head and noticed my mom being guided, a student on each side of her, across the floor to her newly designated seat. “By the time she made it to the half-court line, there was pandemonium in the gym. I think even the Biola fans were appreciating the moment.”

The Warriors seized upon the fervor to pull out a last-second victory. From then on, “Grandma Pat,” as she was affectionately known by the students, became a fixture in their rooting section. “We saw her at the games and she was louder than we were,” said Jeremiah Kiely, a Westmont baseball pitcher at the time and one of the students who recruited her to their section. “We decided she’s got to come sit with us.” Although retired from coaching, John Moore remains at Westmont as an associate athletic director and associate professor of kinesiology. He believes his mother’s spirit will live on there, as well. “She loved being in Murchison Gymnasium,” he said. “It became a second home to her. email: mpatton@newspress.com

HINSDALE, Rush C., Jr.

January 4, 1928 - December 16, 2020 (92yrs)

On December 16, 2020, at the age of 92, Rush C. Hinsdale Jr. passed away peacefully at his home in Santa Barbara, California. Rush was born on January 4, 1928 in Los Angeles, California to Rush C. Hinsdale and Bernice Hinsdale. He was the oldest of three children, Rush, Ann and Tom. While in school at Beverly Hills High, he was on the swim team and enjoyed playing volleyball, paddle tennis and family outings to the beach on the weekends. He also enjoyed driving and working on his 1934 Ford Coupe. After graduating high school in 1946, Rush went on to graduate from Stanford University in 1950 with a BA in political science. That same year Uncle Sam came calling and he was drafted into the U.S. Army and stationed at Fort Ord in Monterey, CA. While at Stanford he met his first wife, Martha Ann Wooddell from Honolulu, Hawaii. They were married on May 12, 1951 in Palo Alto, CA. Martha Ann joined her new husband in Seaside, CA. while he served at Fort Ord. While in Seaside they had their first child, Rush Hinsdale, III. Upon being honorably discharged from the Army, they moved to Southern California where they had a second child, Andy, born in 1953. From 1952 thru 1963 they lived in various houses in the L.A. area finally settling in Pacific Palisades. Rush worked for his father’s mortgage brokerage, The Rush C Hinsdale Co. and eventually took over the business. He was quite active in politics and the Mortgage Bankers Association. He loved being with his family, going to the beach, teaching his boys how to surf, fishing, sailing and playing tennis. He also enjoyed camping and backpacking in the Sierras. He was an avid surfer in those days and was one of the original members of the San Onofre Surf Club. In 1963 the family moved to Santa Barbara, CA. It would be the start to a new chapter in his life. He bought Sears Realty in Montecito, CA. and ran it for a couple of years. Later he became an independent real estate investor. In 1965 Rush and Martha Ann went their separate ways and divorced. It was not long before he met and fell in love with Nancy McKinnon. They were married on June 10, 1967 in Santa Barbara, CA. Together they raised two children, Kellie and Greg. Once again Rush loved being with his family and doing all the fun family things he had done in the past. He did not surf quite as much but became an avid tennis player and golfer and inspired his children to take part in the sports. He also became an avid skier and took the family on ski trips mostly to Mammoth Mt. where he loved skiing for free once he turned 60 years old. He also loved traveling and took his family all over the world. He and Nancy enjoyed swimming at the Coral Casino where they could be seen several times a week. Rush is survived by his wife Nancy, his sons Andy and Greg, his daughter Kellie and his three grandchildren Taylor, Shannon and Halston as well as his younger brother Tom, nieces and nephews. Rush was a wonderful husband, father and friend to many and will be remembered as a loving, caring and honest person.
