SBPD Essential Services To Be Studied by Consultant

F

By Daisy Scott / VOICE

OLLOWING NATIONAL CALLS TO ADDRESS SYSTEMIC RACISM, city officials have launched an effort to reassess the use of Santa Barbara Police Department resources by hiring a consultant to determine its essential services. The city is also working toward possibly establishing a SBPD civilian review board. With a proposed budget of approximately $100,000 to hire a consultant by this winter, the city is aiming for the study to be completed in time to inform its fiscal year 2022 budget.

Over the past four months, on both a local and national level, community organizations have appealed and demanded through protests the reevaluation of force used by police departments and their community roles. While the city council has directed city staff to begin addressing community concerns, communications with those involved in the process have fallen short, according to several individuals and organizations.

Regarding engagement with other groups, the city has not communicated with the city’s Fire and Police Commission about the study nor the commission currently being formed to discuss the potential creation of a SBPD civilian review board. The role of this commission is to advise both the City Council and City Administrator on matters such as police and fire budgets, regulations, and more.

“At this point right now, it appears that the city is doing this on their own and not including the Fire and Police Commission... the bureaucratic process requires us to have the information, discuss it, agendize it, before we can actually really participate in being part of that decision making process,” said commission member Lizzie Rodriguez. “So it doesn’t really give us a lot of room to invite ourselves into the conversation.”

The NAACP of Santa Barbara expressed that it has spoken with the City Council and Mayor Cathy Murillo on allocating police services to other departments, but was not given specific details before this study was announced.

“You know it’s a case by case issue. There’s been no general embracement of everything that’s been put out. I think they have

just agreed to the spirit of the need to change and then recognize appropriate and should remain – either primarily legally, cause that there’s going to be a process and endeavor to take on some there’s a legal charge, or organizationally, where council believes of those things,” said William Benton, President of the NAACP of that those are appropriate to stay with the police department.”

Organic Soup Kitchen Calls for Donations for New Sealing Machine

F

OR OVER TEN YEARS, Organic Soup Kitchen has worked to provide nutritious meals to financially insecure seniors and individuals facing cancer and chronic illnesses.

Accordingly, a key component of their services is their container sealing machine, which is used to package each meal sent out into our community. However, in light of their current machine showing signs of wear, Organic Soup Kitchen has asked the community for donations to purchase a new one.

“This machine allows us to provide SoupMeals that are completely free of any airborne pathogens, viruses or bacteria,” read Organic Soup Kitchen’s announcement. “It’s an expensive piece of equipment, but provides valuable peace of mind to our clients.”

The immediacy of this issue was highlighted last month, when the organization’s current container sealing machine stopped working the day before they were due to deliver meals to over 500 clients. Luckily, Organic Soup Kitchen was able to take the machine down to Los Angeles and back for repairs in the same day. Yet in light of this event, combined with the age of the machine, Organic Soup Kitchen now hopes to raise the $10,000 needed to buy a newer, efficient container sealing machine.

Sheep Graze Skofield Park

I

F YOU HAPPEN TO SPY A SHEEP while exploring Skofield Park this week, don’t be alarmed — it’s just doing its job. Until October 5th, the City of Santa Barbara Fire Department will be conducting vegetation management via sheep grazing at Skofield Park. By using this method, the city is able to lessen fire risks in the area in an environmentally conscious way.

“Using grazing as a method to complete vegetation management minimizes the impact to project areas and reduces overall emissions when compared to equipment like chainsaws and wood chippers,” reads the City of Santa Barbara’s announcement of the project. “Additionally, a site specific biological evaluation has been completed prior in order to ensure best management practices are followed and ecological resources are protected.”

Cuyama Lamb LLC has provided about a hundred sheep to graze across seven acres in the south section of Skofield Park.

Individuals are asked to keep their distance from the sheep, and to not disturb their grazing. All dogs should also be leashed while visiting the park.

Funded by the Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment District, this project began on September 21st and will go through October 5th.

Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation Extends Gold Ribbon Campaign to October 15th Raising Funds for Families Who Have a Child with Cancer during a Pandemic

By Sarah Duenas / WaveComm for Teddy Bear Cander Fdn

T

EDDY BEAR CANCER FOUNDATION has campaigned all September for National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month to raise money for children facing cancer during COVID-19.

They are only $15,000 away from meeting their Gold Ribbon Campaign goal and so they have extended their campaign to October 15th to help meet it.

“We are truly ecstatic that we have come so close to our goal this year,” said Eryn Shugart, Interim Executive Director, TBCF. “We knew, because of the constraints of the pandemic, that we were up against a challenge this year and we are so grateful to our supporters to ensure we close the gap. We feel confident that extending this campaign will put us over the top.”

Each year, TBCF hosts their annual Gold Ribbon Campaign throughout the month of September to raise funds during National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, but due to COVID-19, the annual in-person Gold Ribbon Luncheon at the Four Seasons Biltmore was cancelled. Each year, the Gold Ribbon Luncheon is a major source of funding for the nonprofit.This year, the Campaign solely focused on raising funds and awareness for the organization

and the families they serve.

Just imagine having a child with cancer during this COVID-19 crisis – a pandemic that is leading to job loss or insecurity, financial hardship, mounting health concerns, and an overworked and exhausted health care community. Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation families have been hit doubly hard as they navigate both COVID-19 and having a child with cancer. Community support has made it possible for TBCF to provide additional financial assistance to 31 local families who have been severely affected by the pandemic.

Since the start of the pandemic, TBCF has been providing even more services for families, including money for rent assistance, grocery gift cards, additional emotional support groups with licensed therapists, virtual and in-person tutoring, meal and care package delivery, and virtual family fun events to keep their kids engaged.

Cottage Health - Serving our Community in Overdrive

D

ESPITE THE CHALLENGES OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, Cottage Health has stepped up to serve our community in a big way. This month alone, Cottage Health has opened two new urgent care centers - one in Camarillo and a second in Goleta, both with the goal of providing complete care within 45 minutes. Access to care is an important priority in preventing a minor issue from becoming a more serious health concern, and the new Urgent Care Center will provide the community with convenient access from 8am to 8pm, 365 days a year.

Located at 2306 Las Posas Road in Camarillo and at 5652 Calle Real in Goleta, the new centers are the fourth and fifth of ten Cottage Urgent Care facilities now open to welcome patients in the tri-county region from San Luis Obispo to Camarillo. Other locations are now open in Goleta on Hollister, Oxnard on West Esplanade Drive, and Santa Maria on North Broadway.

Cottage providers will staff the centers and will include a licensed nurse practitioner, a radiology technician, and clinical concierges who are dedicated to providing the highest quality care that distinguishes Cottage Health.

Patients arriving at the Camarillo Cottage Urgent Care and Goleta Cottage Urgent Care will be welcomed with modern and comfortable amenities.

Conditions treated include cold and flu symptoms, scrapes and minor cuts, minor burns, sprains, allergies, earache, urinary infection, skin conditions, rash, poison oak, and other minor ailments and injuries. Patients who require attention for more serious medical conditions may be referred to a local Emergency Department or physician.

Available services onsite at Camarillo and Goleta Calle Real include X-rays and lab services. The center will also offer physical exams for student sports participation. Walk-ins are welcome and online appointments will be available.

Additional Cottage Urgent Care centers will be opening in coming months, including one in San Luis Obispo at Marigold Center.

With the new Cottage Urgent Care and the Cottage CareNow (www.cottagehealth.org/carenow) virtual care service for online visits, patients can quickly receive care or an appropriate referral. Both of these services can connect patients to local physicians for follow-up and preventive care to improve overall health.

These services enable Cottage Health to serve the community in new ways and adapt to current and future healthcare needs.

Cottage Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation Presents An Empowering Evening at the Drive-In

A

SPECIAL SCREENING OF THE INSPIRING FILM Charged: The Eduardo Garcia Story will be at the center of “An Empowering Evening at the Drive-In” presented

by Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation on October 8th.

The event will be at West Wind Drive-in Theater in Goleta and will include a never-before-seen discussion with Eduardo Garcia following the film.

An avid outdoorsman with an unmatched zest for life, Chef Eduardo Garcia is a testament to the power of the human spirit in the face of adversity. He suffered a massive electric shock while out hunting, and his injuries included the amputation of his left hand.

Garcia’s rehabilitation journey is truly inspiring.

A classically trained chef who found his passion for cooking at an early age, Garcia cut his teeth in the industry at just 15 years old – hustling over hot pans, flipping burgers, and throwing pizzas.

After working in the fast-paced kitchens of Seattle and attending culinary school, he took his love for cooking to the high seas, working as a private chef on luxury yachts and more importantly, on the hunt for exceptional food experiences that can only be found by traveling the world.

It was during this pivotal time that Garcia started inviting others to join him in the kitchen to collaborate and discover the joy of creating memorable food and experiences. The watershed moment gave birth to Garcia’s personal mantra: A meal is more than just what we eat. It’s an integral part of what builds culture and brings people together.

Inspired by these experiences, Garcia returned to Montana and founded Montana Mex, creating delicious, clean label, “happy food” driven by his culinary journey and designed to help people eat well. His path, however, took a drastic turn in 2011 while elk hunting in the Montana backcountry. He discovered a bear carcass and received a catastrophic electrical shock from a 2400-volt power line hidden beneath the animal, knocking him unconscious and changing his life forever. Severely burned and badly injured, Garcia walked three miles to the nearest road and found himself in a true fight for his life.

Months of intensive care and rehabilitation, the amputation of half of his left arm, removal of several ribs and even a cancer diagnosis could not keep Garcia down. Nowadays, Garcia can be found living his best life outdoors. Through hunting, fishing, cooking, and delivering motivational speeches around the country, he is a shining example of what can be accomplished with a refuseto-quit attitude and uncompromised determination.

Don’t miss “An Empowering Evening at the Drive-In” to see Charged: The Eduardo Garcia Story on Thursday, October 8th, at West Wind Drive-in Theater in Goleta. Gates open at 6pm. Movie begins at 7pm.

Tickets start at $40 (food not included) $75/general; and up to $365/ VIP. Each ticket admits one car with up to four people and includes an hors d’oeuvres box with dessert for two. Additional hors d’oeuvres boxes may be purchased. VIP ticket holders receive preferred parking, a premium VIP hors d’oeuvres box, and dessert for two.

Purchase tickets online at www.cottagehealth.org/crhevent2020 Cottage Rehabilitation Hospital (CRH) is dedicated to providing excellent care for survivors of stroke, brain and spinal cord injury, orthopedic injury and other conditions. www.cottagehealth.org

Palminteri’s Community VOICE That’s Santa Barbara!

EVERYONE TALKING AT ONCE - on the screen and in person. There were no big Presidential debate watch parties due to COVID rules, but this TV on State St. in downtown Santa Barbara drew a lot of attention and loud comments Tuesday night.

If you are looking for a fresh stimulus try THE POWER OF SUNFLOWERS. I found this message on the Santa Barbara Mesa in a dirt parkway on Cliff Dr.

UCSB new student convocation goes on line with a message for 5000 freshman and transfer students prior to the first day of school Thursday, Oct. 1st. Normally it would take place on the scenic lagoon lawn. Now they watch electronically from wherever they start the school year remotely.

After the LIGHT PLANE CRASH off Goleta Beach Sunday, a special dive team will arrive to locate the plane and salvage it.

They will also recover the pilot and make an identification. It was heading to Truckee from Santa Barbara.

100,000 KN95 masks and other medical gear is on the way from Direct Relief - Santa Barbara to Oregon fire disaster zones. CalDart, Angel Flight West, and Sheriff’s Aero Squadron rally in days to make it possible.

The SANTA BARBARA MISSION celebrates 200 years with a drive up event tonight (Thursday, September 24th) along with a virtual on-line connection. A special poster has also been made. https://www.santabarbaramission.org/200celebration

Changes at the iconic PARADISE CAFE on Anacapa and Ortega in Santa Barbara.

The new owners say the Paradise is history but something new is coming. Painters and other workers have been on site for several days. Stay tuned. The Paradise opened in 1983.

Santa Barbara county moves into the RED TIER and slightly eases coronavirus rules.

Some inside dining seats are opening back up today (Wednesday). Masks, spacing, and washing still a priority. RED Tier allows restaurants, museums, theaters and places of worship along with other businesses to open with limited inside capacity. https://keyt. com/health/coronavirus/2020/09/29/santabarbara-county-meets-state-guidelines-toimprove-covid-rank-to-red-tier/

Some business owners in the downtown promenade are asking Santa Barbara city leaders to INVEST IN BETTER SIGNS. The recently installed orange face mask signs faded quickly and are now hard to read.

Who knew? There were TWO NATIONAL PANCAKE DAYS this year. One in March and September 26th. Joe’s Cafe in Santa Barbara reminded me on social media.

I was by this week and see they have some of their classic shirts on sale for $10, including “Pancakes Absorb Alcohol.”

Harbor VOICE A Great Little Place!

ETURNING FROM A WALK ALONG THE HARBOR BREAKWATER on a foggy Sunday, I made one of my usual stops at the small grocery store on the Alley for a quick snack. How often I’d been there picking up all kinds of goodies, I can’t even tell you. So, how is it possible that after all these years, I’ve never written about one of the most active businesses along the harbor walkway? Silly me!

A staple at the harbor since 1985, proprietor Lisa Clagg was a business owner even before establishing the Harbor Market.

As the former owner of the Lisa Clagg Underwater Sports Shop, she was well acquainted with the harbor community and its needs.

“At the time, there was nothing that resembled a market, so opening one seemed like a good idea,” Clagg explained. “In the beginning, our store was just a little hole in the wall and needed expansion – it now consists of two full spaces in the building and we manage to include a whole lot of merchandise!”

As anyone knows who has been there, a shopper can find a potpourri of all kinds of good things, not limited to snacks, food, and drink. If you have a headache, need a band-aid, some toothpaste, or other sundry items, that’s your place. How about a T-shirt to memorialize your trip to the harbor, a variety of sizes and colors await you.

October 2, 2020

Toys and candy for the kiddies or a selection of unusual gifts for their elders (along with a variety of adult beverages) can be found, should a party be your next stop. This small store is quite an adventure, and it’s well worth checking out the huge selection of merchandise stacked inside.

Visiting the store you’ll most often be greeted by the owner herself, standing behind the cash register.

“I raised five kids working at this store,” Clagg announced proudly. “My kids were raised in Santa Barbara and the harbor, although now they’re all grown up with families of their own.”

Today Clagg is the happy grandmother of twelve, with another on the way. How about that for a working mom? But she’s definitely not an empty-nester. “I’ve been here for so many years, the harbor feels like family to me … especially the fisherman who come by here everyday.” From what I’ve been told, the live aboard harbor community are regular customers too, as are sailboat and motorboat owners, local Santa Barbara residents, and visitors from up and down the coastline.

The Harbor Market is indeed a success story in more ways then one. “During this pandemic we’ve never closed our doors,” noted Clagg. “Despite the difficulties and ups and downs of this uncertain time, we’ve remained open.”

Having spoken to so many struggling business and restaurant owners during the last months, I’m aware that the market has indeed been one of exceptions. Clagg explained that she shares the feelings of uncertainty that all small business owners are being forced to endure and is just grateful that she was able to keep things going. “To be honest,” she admitted, “I never thought I’d even be here for so many years, but …. here I am! Still at it, and happy to still be around.”

Speaking for myself, I was also happy to have had the opportunity to talk to the owner of the little store I’ve frequented for so long. I have to admit that one of my favorite browsing spots inside the Harbor Market is the card rack, loaded with the best selections of fun and funny greeting cards. On the way out, though, I always grab a bag of my favorite chips and inhale them even before I make it to my car. If you love those colorful bags full of all kinds of yummy snacks, that would be your place too!

Taking the Fear and Stigma out of “Section 8”

W

At the Center of Santa Barbara’s Cultural Conversation | www.VoiceSB.com

By WaveComm for Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara

HEN SOME LANDLORDS GET A CALL FROM A POTENTIAL TENANT who state up front they have qualified for a rent subsidy voucher (commonly known as a Section 8 voucher), a “red flag” appears in their mind. They may refuse to even consider their application, despite California state laws which prohibit discrimination against renters with housing vouchers.

One way to better understand our local Section 8 program is to drill down into where the term originally came from and learn the facts about how it works from people who have first-hand knowledge - a HACSB leasing representative, a landlord, and her tenant.

The term Section 8 is derived from the “8th section” of the Housing Act of 1937. According to Amy Wilde of PocketSense.com, “The Act sought to improve the quality of housing for Americans, especially disadvantaged and low-income citizens. Section 8 declared that the government would provide rental assistance to lower-income families and individuals seeking housing, and it set out the guidelines.”

If you want to know the process for renting to a Housing Choice Voucher tenant, Eddie Capristo, a HACSB leasing representative, has answers. He serves as the first point of contact for landlords interested in joining the program. He works with them on the paperwork, which is straightforward and easy to complete.

He handles property inspections and follows up on the move-in process. Eddie says that right now during COVID-19, the program makes great sense for both renter and property owner. “I try to focus on the stability and sustainability pieces of the contractual arrangement. The Voucher program literally ‘pandemic-proofs’ the rent payment. It gives the tenant security and confidence knowing that the rent they pay is based on what they can comfortably afford to pay. If they get laid off, lose their job, through no fault of their own, or get sick, HACSB steps in and readjusts their rent portion. The landlord is guaranteed their full, on time payment and the peace of mind knowing they have steady income for living expenses or paying property mortgage payments.”

Housing Choice Voucher tenants “tend to be long term tenants, which is very attractive to a landlord who wants to avoid turnover. They are really grateful for housing help,” according to Capristo.

“Our clients don’t want to lose their housing subsidy, which they see as a privilege that, in many cases, took years of being wait-listed before receiving. They will do what it takes and treat their landlord’s property with care and respect.”

Barbara Brown, a Santa Barbara resident and property owner, shared her experience with the Program. “The whole rental situation has changed in our town. It’s really hard to find a renter who can afford the price of a full house. I ran an ad and a potential renter asked me if I accepted Section 8 and I said, ‘Well, let’s try,’ and it worked out very smoothly. We met that afternoon and they were happy with the house. I felt so comfortable with them that by the next day, we had signed a contract and I had their portion of the rent in my hand, plus the full deposit. It was so simple. I was thrilled. It’s nice to know that someone will back me up in whatever I need to do with the rental house.”

If you still need convincing, the story of Ms. Brown’s tenant will help change your mind. Samantha, who is married with three school-aged children, was plunged into a housing nightmare without warning. For ten years, her family rented a house at reduced rent from an elderly landlord who lived on the premises. In exchange, they worked to improve it. Then the owner died unexpectedly. Not only did the family need to move quickly, they required a one-story house to accommodate their eldest son who requires a wheelchair. Samantha shared, “It took us five years to qualify for a voucher. I called ten to 15 listings a day over a three month period. When I called, I immediately informed landlords that I had a Section 8 Voucher and they would hang up or say, ‘No we won’t accept the voucher.’ I called Eddie and asked for help because our voucher was set to expire. We worked together to find an affordable wheelchair accessible house. When Barbara’s place popped up, right away I asked if she’d accept the voucher and she said yes. We met same day and the next week we moved into the home.”

Samantha continued, “It’s really nice to actually communicate with a landlord. We’re so grateful we landed this wonderful house. I feel relieved when I get home. It’s a safe home and neighborhood for my children and we have nice neighbors.”

Eliminando el miedo y el estigma de la “Sección 8”

C

Por WaveComm para Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara

UANDO ALGUNOS PROPIETARIOS RECIBEN UNA LLAMADA DE UN POSIBLE INQUILINO quien declara por adelantado que ha calificado para un vale de subsidio de alquiler (comúnmente conocido como un vale de la Sección 8), aparece una “bandera roja” en su mente. Pueden negarse incluso a considerar su solicitud, a pesar de las leyes estatales de California que prohíben la discriminación contra los inquilinos con vales de vivienda.

Una forma de comprender mejor nuestro programa local de la Sección 8 es profundizar en el origen del término y conocer los hechos sobre cómo funciona de personas que tienen conocimiento de primera mano – un representante de arrendamiento de HACSB, un propietario y su inquilino.

El término Sección 8 se deriva de la “Sección 8” de la Ley de Vivienda de 1937. Según Amy Wilde de PocketSense.com, “La Ley buscaba mejorar la calidad de la vivienda para los estadounidenses, especialmente los ciudadanos desfavorecidos y de bajos ingresos. La Sección 8 declaró que el gobierno proporcionaría asistencia para el alquiler a familias de bajos ingresos e individuos en busca de vivienda, y estableció las pautas.”

Si deseas conocer el proceso de alquiler a un inquilino de Vales para Elección de Vivienda, Eddie Capristo, un representante de arrendamiento de HACSB, tiene respuestas. Sirve como el primer punto de contacto para los propietarios interesados en unirse al programa. Trabaja con ellos en el papeleo, que es sencillo y fácil de completar. Se encarga de las inspecciones de propiedad y realiza un seguimiento del proceso de mudanza. Eddie dice que ahora mismo durante el COVID-19, el programa tiene mucho sentido tanto para el inquilino como para el propietario. “Intento centrarme en las partes de estabilidad y sostenibilidad del acuerdo contractual. El programa de Vales literalmente ‘prueba contra pandemias’ el pago del alquiler. Le da al inquilino seguridad y confianza sabiendo que el alquiler que paga se basa en lo que puede pagar cómodamente. Si son despedidos, pierden su trabajo, por causas ajenas a ellos, o se enferman, HACSB interviene y reajusta su parte del alquiler. El arrendador tiene garantizado su pago completo y puntual y la tranquilidad de saber que tiene un ingreso estable para los gastos de subsistencia o el pago de la hipoteca de la propiedad.”

Los inquilinos con Vales para Elección de Vivienda “tienen la tendencia a ser inquilinos a largo plazo, lo cual es muy atractivo para un propietario que quiere evitar la rotación. Están muy agradecidos por la ayuda con la vivienda,” según Capristo. “Nuestros clientes no quieren perder su subsidio de vivienda, que ven como un privilegio que, en muchos casos, tomó años en la lista de espera antes de recibirlo. Harán lo que sea necesario y tratarán la propiedad del propietario con cuidado y respeto.”

Barbara Brown, residente de Santa Bárbara y propietaria, compartió su experiencia con el Programa. “Toda la situación del alquiler ha cambiado en nuestra ciudad. Es muy difícil encontrar un inquilino que pueda pagar el precio de una casa completa. Publiqué un anuncio y un posible inquilino me preguntó si aceptaba la Sección 8 y le dije: ‘Bueno, intentémoslo,’ y todo salió muy bien. Nos encontramos esa tarde y estaban contentos con la casa. Me sentí tan cómoda con ellos que al día siguiente habíamos firmado un contrato y yo tenía su parte del alquiler en mi mano, más el depósito completo. Fue tan simple. Yo estaba muy emocionada. Es bueno saber que alguien me respaldará en todo lo que tenga que hacer con la casa de alquiler.”

Si aún necesitas ser convencido, la historia del inquilino de la Sra. Brown te ayudará a cambiar de opinión.

Samantha, que está casada y tiene tres hijos en edad escolar, se vio envuelta en una pesadilla de vivienda sin previo aviso. Durante diez años, su familia alquiló una casa a precio reducido a un propietario anciano que vivía en la propiedad. A cambio, trabajaron para mejorarla. Luego, el dueño murió inesperadamente. La familia no solo necesitaba moverse rápidamente, sino que también necesitaba una casa de un piso para acomodar a su hijo mayor que necesita una silla de ruedas. Samantha compartió: “Nos tomó cinco años calificar para un Vale. Llamé de diez a quince anuncios al día durante un período de tres meses. Cuando llamé, les informé inmediatamente a los propietarios que tenía un Vale de la Sección 8 y me colgaban o decían: “No, no aceptaremos el Vale.” Le llamé a Eddie y le pedí ayuda porque nuestro Vale estaba a punto de vencer. Trabajamos juntos para encontrar una casa accesible para sillas de ruedas asequible. Cuando apareció la casa de Barbara, de inmediato le pregunté si aceptaría el Vale y dijo que sí. Nos encontramos el mismo día y la semana siguiente nos mudamos a la casa.”

Samantha continuó, “Es realmente agradable comunicarse con el propietario. Estamos muy agradecidos de haber conseguido esta maravillosa casa. Me siento aliviada cuando llego a casa. Es un hogar y un vecindario seguro para mis hijos y tenemos buenos vecinos.”

Housing Surge Means What?

Existing Home Sales: 2019 and 2020, SAAR (000s)

B

OOMING REALTORS’ EXISTING-HOME SALES are showing there is a very severe housing shortage with record sales and a record low housing inventory. Calculated Risk says the for-sale inventory was down 18.6 percent yearover-year (YoY) in August. This is the lowest level of inventory for August since at least the early 1990s.

Sales continued to climb in August, marking three consecutive months of positive sales gains, according to the National Association of REALTORS®. Total existing-home sales, (www.nar.realtor/existing-home-sales), completed transactions that include single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums, and co-ops, rose 2.4 percent from July to a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of 6.00 million in August. Sales are up 10.5 percent from a year ago (5.43 million in August 2019).

And new-home sales are also booming while builders struggle to catch up to the higher demand. New home sales jumped 14 percent in July to a nearly 14-year high. It was the third consecutive monthly increase of that magnitude or larger. Can this last?

Reuters says, “With single-family building permits extending their uptrend in August, we think new home sales may continue to improve as well. We do think any further gain in August is likely to be much more modest, and our point estimate calls for an increase of about two percent, to an annual rate of 920K. That would represent a YOY increase of 30 percent, the highest monthly reading since the end of 2006. The YOY increase in the median price of a new home stood at 7.2 percent in July, also a new high.

“Home sales continue to amaze, and there are plenty of buyers in the pipeline ready to enter the market,” said Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist. “Further gains in sales are likely for the remainder of the year, with mortgage rates hovering around three percent and with continued job recovery.”

What is going on? We know the incredibly low interest rates are a factor. Also the Great Recession caused builders to literally stop building because of so much excess inventory from the busted housing bubble (foreclosures, etc.).

Housing construction actually fell some 80 percent over the past ten years since the end of the Great Recession, and hasn’t yet caught up. We also have the COVID-19 pandemic that has temporarily reduced new household formation. The Federal Reserve said in a research note that from February to June, “This decline is of essentially the same magnitude as that seen over the entire Great Recession, and it corresponds to a drop in the number of occupied housing units—or an increase in the number of vacant units—of roughly 2 million.”

But that hasn’t slowed population growth. Forbes Magazine in a recent article said, “Scarred by the housing bust, homebuilders have been sitting on their hands for the past decade. Census Bureau data shows an average of 1.5 million homes were built each year since 1959. Yet over the past decade, just 900,000 homes

Santa Barbara Mortgage Interest Rates

have been built per year.”

What’s to be done? It can’t just be up to local governments with exclusionary zoning restrictions that NIMBYs use to restrict affordable housing in their neighborhoods.

In the 1980s, Congress established the Low Income Housing Tax Credit program to incentivize private developers to build affordable apartment homes and communities, reported USA Today. More than three million affordable units have been built under the program, and if Congress were to expand this program — as proposed in new bipartisan legislation (Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act of 2019) — experts estimate that our country could create or preserve an additional 384,500 affordable homes over the next ten years.

There is much more that can be done on the national level.

Record income inequality has made home ownership much less affordable for Main Streeters. There has been no movement to cure the problem, such as a national minimum wage, or to strengthen labor laws that would boost the income of working families.

There has to be a concerted national effort to reverse this trend, in other words, or the homeless numbers will continue to rise in everyone’s backyard.

HE COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL announced a goal of achieving one megawatt of solar on regional nonprofit agencies by 2023, and has expanded their successful Solarize Nonprofit program to Ventura County to support this move toward a carbon neutral Santa Barbara Rescue Mission 40 kW system community.

Nonprofits that own their buildings or are in long-term leases are encouraged to see if the no upfront cost program fits for them at www.SolarizeNonprofit.org.

Offered in partnership with Asteri Solar since 2018, CEC’s Solarize Nonprofit gives nonprofits in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties a double benefit: a no upfront cost entry into solar, with long term savings that can reach to hundreds of thousands of dollars. To date, the program has helped eight nonprofit agencies – including the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History Sea Center, Santa Barbara Rescue Mission, and Girls Inc. Carpinteria — add a total of 250kW of renewable energy to the grid.

Tim Molloy, Director of Finance and Operations at the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission, explained how removing the big upfront investment allowed the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission to not only add a 40kW solar system in June of 2019, but to save big: “We looked into going solar in the past, but the no up front cost offer through Solarize Nonprofit made the decision much easier. We expect to save about $200,000 in utility bills over the life of the project.”

CEC works closely with participating nonprofit agencies and Asteri Solar throughout the process to ensure that equipment, systems, workmanship, and contracts are carefully considered. Asteri purchases the solar system and sells the energy directly to the nonprofit over the course of five years. At the beginning of year six, nonprofits have the option to purchase the system at the fair market value and fully capture the economic benefits of solar ownership. Solar systems last for decades and nonprofits can save $200,000 or more in operating costs over the next 30 years.

Matt Riley, owner of Asteri Solar, is excited about bringing the program’s benefits to Ventura County and greatly expanding the program in coming years. “Nonprofits need help when it comes to financing solar to achieve their sustainability goals. By partnering with CEC, we have the opportunity to offer more social benefit agencies high quality and affordable solar systems without putting a strain on their finances — so they can continue to focus on the great work they do in our communities.”

Solarize Nonprofit stemmed from CEC’s work over the past decade to help over 800 Central Coast homeowners go solar, and they are now able to extend their solar advocacy and experience to benefit organizations that serve the public good. April Price, CEC’s Renewable Energy Program Senior Manager, also spoke to the community benefits of dramatically increasing renewable energy like solar, “One megawatt of solar is about the same amount that would be needed to power 250 homes. Progress like this is what we need to move to a 100 percent renewable energy future.

Equally important, the hundreds of thousands of dollars nonprofits save on utilities can be redirected back toward their work for the public good.”

SB Police and BWELL to Form Co-Response Team

B

By Daisy Scott / VOICE

EGINNING THIS FALL, the Santa Barbara Police Department will respond to individuals experiencing mental health crises with its Co-Response Team.

Created in partnership with the Santa Barbara County Department of Behavioral Wellness, this team will consist of two individuals – a police officer and a healthcare professional, called a mobile crisis worker. The co-response team will have the authority to offer referrals to mental health resources or substance abuse facilities as needed.

“The goal of the collaboration between the Santa Barbara Police Department and Behavioral Wellness is to provide resources and services to those experiencing a mental health crisis in lieu of utilizing the criminal justice system,” said SBPD Lieutenant Kenneth Kushner, who has been overseeing collaboration with BWELL. “Our hope is that this collaboration serves to make a meaningful difference for those impacted by mental health issues, including the families and loved ones of those experiencing crisis.”

Currently, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office has three full time co-response teams with BWELL operating across the county. According to Kushner, the performance of these teams motivated the SBPD’s plan. Since 2019, the SBPD has partnered an officer and clinician on a part-time basis using county grant funding. Going forward, the SBPD’s co-response team, consisting of a SBPD crisis intervention co-response officer (CRO) and a BWELL mobile crisis worker, will work full-time to respond to both departments’ calls.

The co-response team will also conduct follow-up contact with individuals who have recently interacted with the law, or have left the hospital following a mental health crisis. The team will also reach out to individuals known to experience mental health issues and who should be connected to resources, but are not experiencing a crisis.

“There’s a few different ways that it looks, but for one, the co-response team will respond to a crisis or to a call out in the community always, and if they make contact with someone that they then want to go on and link to mental health services, it would not be uncommon then for either the team as a whole – or it might be just mental health, or it might be both – to go out and reconnect with a person just to maintain that relationship and help to make sure they’re doing that warm hand-off to the services needed,” said Suzanne Grimmesey, BWELL’s Public Information Officer.

At this time, BWELL has already internally hired the individual who will act as the team’s mobile crisis worker.

According to Grimmesey, this individual is a mental health professional who has experience in assessing and responding to

Carbon Neutrality By 2035, New Goal Set By City of Santa Barbara

S

ANTA BARBARA CITY COUNCIL voted unanimously to adopt the goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2035 on Tuesday, September 29th.

“On the heels of Governor Newsom’s executive order to advance key zero-emission climate goals to 2035, this decision represents a momentous step forward for our city, our region, and our state,” Michael Chiacos, Energy and Climate Program Director Community Environmental Council, commented in an email.

“Moving forward, this goal puts the City on a path to develop a visionary Climate Action Plan for the community that will: Build on the City’s commitment to 100 percent renewable energy by 2030; Make more strides on zero emission transportation and buildings; Develop policies to sequester remaining carbon in our region’s working lands; and Energize climate resilience efforts.”

In response to the most recent findings of climate scientists, the City will update its Climate Action Plan, and outline a robust set of strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions locally. An interdepartmental team will work closely with the community to evaluate and develop innovative and actionable strategies to measurably reduce GHG emissions in Santa Barbara.

You Say Lobster, I Say Lobstah... Lobster Season Begins in Santa Barbara

Courtesy of Commercial Fishermen of Santa Barbara

HILE MOST PEOPLE ASSOCIATE AUTUMN with changing leaves and cozy sweaters, for California fishermen, October means one thing – lobster season. On October 3rd at 6am, this year’s recreational lobster fishing season will begin.

Commercial fishermen will be able to bait their traps on October 6th, and begin pulling them on October 7th. After the economic hardships of last year’s season following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, this year is expected to hold great significance for local fishermen.

All individuals participating in the recreational season must have their recreational fishing license and a California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Spiny Lobster Report Card. Commercial fishermen must have both their commercial fishing license and lobster permit. Per tradition, the City of Santa Barbara Waterfront Department is offering the chance to stage traps by the harbor.

“The Waterfront Department has for years allowed lobster fishermen the privilege and courtesy of staging traps in the Launch Ramp Parking Lot prior to the opening of lobster season,” said Acting Harbor Operations Manager Erik Engebretson. “This year is no exception.”

Trap staging spaces in the parking lot are used on a first come, first served basis. Fishermen are not allowed to use more than one trailer/boat parking stall at a time, and are asked to only use the stalls for staging fully-constructed traps. All traps must be removed by October 9th at 5pm.

It is also important to be environmentally conscious while lobster fishing. According to an August National Marine Sanctuary Foundation article, a cleanup group removed 6,440 pounds of human-made items polluting the coast of Santa Cruz Island over the course of two days in July. Their findings included 131 lobster traps. Most of these traps were thought to be from before the CDFW began requiring commercial fishermen to use lobster trap tags. Yet this team’s findings highlight the importance of every individual ensuring that they do not leave behind any pollution.

“Fishermen must clean up after themselves – no zip ties, line, wire, clips, or tar left behind,” the Waterfront Department’s lobster fishermen guidelines for setting traps states.

The beginning of this lobster season is made all the more important given the hardships brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic interrupting last year’s season, including drastic changes in exporting to China.

“There’s been a number of impacts to the market in the recent past, so we’re struggling with having to adapt to the loss of our pretty significant export market to the Chinese,” said Chris Voss, President of the Commercial Fishermen of Santa Barbara (CFSB). “In addition, we clearly have lost our domestic markets with respect to the restaurants. And so it’s kind of a double whammy and there’s quite a bit of real concern.”

Voss went on to explain that in the past, fishermen have predominantly sold lobster overseas because they could get higher prices. However, in the years leading up to the pandemic these prices have declined as a result of tariffs and the trade war with China. He shared that due to this drop in prices there might be a surge in domestic demand, but given the overhead costs of lobster fishing, they need to work to get prices higher again. Currently, the CFSB is working with the CDFW toward potentially allowing California lobster to enter the frozen lobster tail market, which is currently prohibited.

On a local level, individuals can support fishermen by shopping at the CFSB Saturday Fisherman’s Market on the City Pier from 6 to 11am. The Santa Barbara Fish Market also offers

consumers fresh, locally caught seafood.

“We make a pretty significant contribution,” said Voss. “We’re all small scale businessmen, independent, and locally based. And every court in the southern California bite has a little group of lobster fishermen, and they are really essential to diversify local economies. Not only do we produce a high quality, live, high value fish product that stimulates our local economy, but you’re also creating resilience within an economic base shoreside.”

These include painted works on paper by emerging artists acquired through the recently established Basil Alkazzi Acquisition Fund.

Davidson and Colefax Galleries will be devoted to rotations of works on paper, allowing for the display of rarely shown artworks and new discoveries. This is an exciting opportunity to shed new light on artworks which are usually kept out of view, precisely because they are so sensitive to light.

Highlights of the Permanent Collection, an ongoing installation, highlights some of the most celebrated works of art from SBMA’s permanent collection, as well as several of the most exciting gifts and acquisitions in the areas of modern and contemporary art, photography, and the arts of Asia.

HIS WEEK, L.A. LOUVER GALLERY, one of the most recognized LA cultural institutions, sent out an announcement celebrating its 45 years in business.

Four decades in the history of any other major city like New York, London or Paris is a short chapter, but in Los Angeles, 45 years is a milestone. The upcoming exhibition, 45 At 45 (opening October 20th) will include works by 45 artists. And the exhibition takes places at- surprise, surprise - 45 North Venice Blvd in Venice, California. According to the gallery press release, “over half of the participating artists are based in Los Angeles and reflect the gallery’s founding L.A. Louver Gallery Staff, 1983 L: Carlos Almaraz: Playing with Fire, film poster, 2020. Netflix principle: To champion L.A. artists within R: Carlos Almaraz with his wife Elsa Flores Almaraz. an international program.” All the above reminds me that I discovered L.A. Louver Gallery almost 40 years ago in the early 80’s... And through all these years I have continued to follow closely its adventurous presentation of a vast variety of artists. So, my friends at L.A. Louver Gallery, Happy Birthday to you!...

And talking about LA history; do you recall the Los Angeles 1984 Summer Olympics? Yes, another deep dive into our city’s history. Among the cultural events during the Olympics, were numerous art exhibitions, including the California Sculpture Show at USC Fisher Gallery. Among the sculptures on display there was a monumental bronze sculpture by Chuck Carlos Almaraz : Playing with Fire. Netflix preview for film. 2020.

Arnoldi. Now, almost 40 years later, this sculpture has returned to USC’s campus where it is installed Chuck Arnoldi’s Not Marble Nor Gilded Monument in front of the in front of the USC Fisher Museum of Art. You may USC Fisher Museum of Art want to check out the video, to see the installation of this impressive, weighing nearly one-ton sculpture.

All above, prompted me to give a call to Chuck, whom I have had the pleasure of knowing for many years and whose studio in Venice is always a treasure trove of surprises. Take a look at the photo I snapped while visiting Chuck a few days ago. He showed me his new roughly-cut, wood sculptures spread on the ground of the courtyard. With the sunlight hitting them, and shadows casted on the ground, Chuck’s sculptures made me think of Brancusi’s sculpture installation at MOMA. Coincidentally, a few days ago, another announcement brought back memories of Los Angeles cultural life of the 1980’s.

A new, award-winning documentary, Carlos Almaraz: Playing with Fire about groundbreaking Los Angeles artist, Carlos Almaraz, will premiere on Netflix this Thursday, October 1st. I had the pleasure to get to know Carlos and his wife, Elsa Flores Almaraz and followed his career until his untimely death of AIDS in 1989.

A couple of years ago, LACMA honored Carlos Almaraz with an in-depth retrospective, which I reviewed in my KCRW Art Talk in August 2017. A great exhibition and great artist to remember...

Jim Dine, Venus in Five Colors, 2007. Jonathan I wish I could say that I also had the good luck of meeting Chuck Arnoldi in front of his wooden sculptures at his studio in Venice, Novak Contemporary Art. California and knowing Jim Dine, a famous American artist, who recently celebrated his 85th birthday. Last week, I went to Century City to see an exhibition of his paintings and sculptures at Jonathan Novak Contemporary Art. Looking at his five lifeEdward Goldman was art size sculptures of Venus, each a different color, I couldn’t resist critic and host of “Art Talk,” touching it with my hand and realizing that the first impression a weekly program which that they are made out of wood- is wrong.
