From Guest Editor, Sammy Baptista
Growing up in Santa Barbara was the best experience as a kid and young adult. I spent my days at Red Rock with my brothers, jumping off rocks at Campus Point Beach all summer, and skating around UCSB.
Something exciting was always happening, like music shows or pro skaters visiting the Powell skatepark. Bands like NOFX and Lagwagon, which are famous now, used to play here all the time when they were still underground. It felt like my dreams could come true.
I met so many different people. I have six older brothers, each with their own interests, so every day was an adventure. I loved surfing, skating, and music—those things defined Santa Barbara for me. Our nickname, “Santa Barbarians,” is fitting.
There were random shows at People’s Park in Isla Vista and surfing under full moons at Sands as a kid. I remember being at the Skate Zone (Powell skatepark) and watching Danny Way do a backside heel Indy 14 feet up, with 30 people stopping to watch him on just an ordinary day.
These are moments I’ll cherish forever, and they highlight how special Santa Barbara is, so much that even George Powell wanted to live here.
I’m incredibly grateful for growing up in Santa Barbara because it was a safe place, small enough to avoid big-city worries but large enough to explore and get lost in. Beaches, Fiesta, and the 4th of July—there are countless reasons why this city is so amazing!
I love this place, although it took me years to realize it. It’s all I’ve ever known, but looking back as an adult, I see what an incredible childhood I had. The weather is good all year, which keeps the ground smooth, allowing me to skate all day, every day, in the sunshine.
Enjoy,

You’re not alone if you find it hard to shop for the dads in your life. But we live in a mecca of cool, coastal style and endless adventures. If he’s a surfer, he could always add to his quiver. If he cooks, he needs a new tool. If he walks, he needs new shoes. But seriously, he deserves a special day to be recognized as your rock.
We’re deeply impressed with the craftsmanship of Grand Central Hats’ artistic hats and boots. Treat Dad to a visit with Edgar, who will lead a custom hat-making experience that will blow his mind. @ grandcentral.official

The
and
thoughts
emotions of artist Peter Horjus
ARTICLE BY SAMANTHA DURBIN
PHOTOGRAPHY BY COLETTE COSENTINO HORJUS, ALEX NOBLE, TRINITY WHEELER
“I was the kid who drew the covers for programs in grade school and the cartoonist for our high school paper. Innately, and through early learning, I owe to my dad firstly, respectfully, and gratefully.” ~PH
The Horjus artistic gene is a strong one. Peter Horjus was raised by an artist father who encouraged him to draw wherever possible (but maybe not on the church pews during service). In first grade, Peter traded his snacks for other kids’ paper and crayons and grew up in a house that was “like an art store.” Peter’s father was a trained artist in Holland, where he studied design, advertising, and lettering.
“Growing up, every room in our house had a mural. When my father ran out of rooms, he painted a 100-foot fence outside with a black and white bustling harbor scene. Every kitchen drawer and cabinet had a gold leaf motif, and our hallway had shiny faux marble work. He did it all, and on everything.”
Peter’s father and mother immigrated to the US after World War II, settling in a Dutch community in Artesia, CA, where they raised their family. “I was always encouraged, watched, and directed by my dad to draw better. He taught me line, form, and shading. He was tough, always finding where I could improve, and I’m still improving. I suppose he was preparing me for the critiques in classes in college.”
In high school, Peter was drawn to graphic design. “I loved simple imagery and its relationship with typography, but didn’t know what made good design. I painted cars in high school, so there was a time I was working on a not-so-great logo for my own auto body shop.” Summers were spent working in block and brick masonry, where Peter was fascinated by how things were built. He considered a career in construction and attended Point Loma College in San Diego, earning a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Fine Art & Graphic Design.
After graduating, he started his own graphic design and illustration studio, where his first award-winning logo design was for Dantuma Masonry, his first boss and mentor. “I went to a Toulouse-Lautrec exhibition, which changed how I saw illustrated
“I WAS ALWAYS ENCOURAGED, WATCHED, AND DIRECTED BY MY DAD TO DRAW BETTER. HE TAUGHT ME LINE, FORM, AND SHADING. HE WAS TOUGH, ALWAYS FINDING WHERE I COULD IMPROVE, AND I’M STILL IMPROVING.”
imagery. The immediacy of line in brush and ink and the textured spatter areas was simply beautiful.”
Illustrator Al Hirschfeld, Picasso, and Matisse also influence Peter’s work. “For logo design, I always run my ideas past Saul Bass and Paul Rand, as if they were alive and reviewing my work at the critique table. I’m drawn to the Works Progress Administration (WPA) graphic design from the thirties and forties, especially the typography of that era.”
Being married to another artist— our March cover beauty, Colette Cosentino Horjus—also keeps his creative flame alive: “We encourage one another in our projects, take a fresh look at each other’s work with suggestions and praise, and understand each other when the creative light is glowing bright or a little dim.”
Peter met Colette while she was living in Santa Barbara, and after a year of
dating, he moved here to live closer. Peter only knew one other person locally, but he found community easily. “I’m thrilled and grateful that this town embraced me and my design, illustration, and paintings early on.”
Industrious and “a bit of a perfectionist,” Peter also describes himself as anxious and someone who has a hard time saying no. This explains his lengthy client list—from Saks Fifth Avenue to Coca-Cola—including secret-level graphic design presentations for the US Government at NOSC (Naval Oceans System Command) and artist representation with Rapp Art, a renowned illustration agency in New York.
Peter is everywhere, down to logos around town. Coast Village Road, Alessia’s Patisserie, Arts District, Miramar Group, Cork Pull Polo, and Renauds Patisserie are all Peter. “I recently illustrated the walls at
the new Lama Dog on upper State Street with whimsical and fun dog concepts.”
When he’s not at his studio on Figueroa Street, he and Colette show their work at the Round Top Antiques Show in Texas. They recently purchased three 107-yearold cottages in Round Top he’s excited about remodeling. “I’m also designing and sourcing a new line of women’s silk scarves with my pen & ink illustrations and other graphic imagery. This summer, I’m switching from cowboy-themed paintings to vintage-inspired sandy beach and sunny illustrative paintings—bright and cheery.”
It’s always a black and white moment for Peter, and this artist remains creative, curious, and grateful wherever he is.

Local Legacy
Pete Jordano, CEO of Jordano’s Foodservice, makes things better
“If business or life gets tough, you need to be prepared for change.” ~Pete Jordano
When people describe the CEO of Jordano’s Foodservice, Pete Jordano, the simple yet powerful adjective “kind” is often said. Given his reputation as a wise and thoughtful leader of the leading independent foodservice distributor in Central and Southern California, we want to pay tribute to Pete and his family’s legacy as a local business to respect and admire.
You may recognize the freight trucks around town emboldened with the name, but Jordano’s started family-owned small.
The Jordano Brothers Grocery Market opened at 706 State Street on March 1, 1915, complete with “high grade staple and fancy groceries,” according to their IG. Today, it’s the 35th largest independent food service operation in the US.
The company’s motto is the same as it was at inception: “Serving our patrons with reliable, standard merchandise at uniformly low prices, fair dealing, and courteous treatment will be the business policy of this store. We respectfully solicit a share of your patronage on this basis.”
Born and raised in Santa Barbara, Pete is the son to one of the four founding Jordano

brothers. He came into his CEO post in 1975 after starting as a truck driver for the company. When faced with the prospect of a post-Vietnam recession and the growing popularity of supermarkets, it was his idea to reposition the company away from delivering fresh food and into distribution.
“That was a terribly tough decision to shift the business away from the roots as a successful family-owned grocery chain and restructure it as a distribution business,” says Pete on the Jordano’s website. But Pete’s idea was sound, evolving the successful tri-county store chain into Jordano’s Inc., with 500 percent growth within the first decade.
Jordano’s weathered the Great Depression and, most recently, the COVID-19 pandemic. They’ve adapted to the food service industry’s ups, downs, and trends. Their longevity is also attributed to maintaining their commitment to quality, customer service, and serving the community.
The company’s dedication to service extends from its employees to its customers. With about 546 employees, the average employee has a 16-year history with the company. Everyone in the company is considered extended family, and that’s celebrated at an annual picnic for employees and their families at the Santa Barbara Zoo.
“Taking care of people and employees, being kind is the key to our company’s success for 100 years. Saying ‘thank you’ is easy to do and feels good,” says Pete. Their service-minded ethos is closely tied to community. From events honoring top scholar-athletes at UCSB and Westmont to the Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara, supporting local athletics and academics are important initiatives for Pete and his wife, Gerd.
Jordano’s continues to be family-owned, and Pete’s son, Jeff Jordano, is president of Jordano’s and Pacific Beverage, the company’s beverage division. “My father embodies the family’s long-term commitment to the Santa Barbara community. Jordano’s has been a sponsor of Fiesta every year since its inception 100 years ago. With Gerd at his side, the two are a force. I think I need size 14 feet,” says Jeff.
Aware that he’s working well past retirement age, Pete still shows up at the office a few days a week. Knowing Jordano’s is in good hands with a solid foundation, he feels confident about the company’s future success.

CEO of Santa Barbara Zoo
WHAT ANIMAL WOULD YOU WANT TO BE AND WHY?
“The Giant Pacific Octopus (GPO) is a curious, adaptable, and smart cephalopod. With three hearts and the ability to sense the world through hundreds of independent sensors constantly processing information across eight arms, the GPO can juggle several tasks independently, exactly how we parents have to when looking out for our kiddos, with multiple priorities, sometimes competing.
The octopus embodies discovery and resilience. They live intensely, taking advantage of every moment, processing complex information, and navigating challenging environments. Like the GPO, I’m passionate about exploring, learning, adapting, and appreciating the world’s complexity while being prepared to navigate challenges. Having eight arms would help, too!”

WHAT’S SOME ADVICE FOR NEW DADS?
“In spite of the many hours of family time, if I got to do it over again, I would have spent more one-on-one time with each of my daughters. Most of what we did was all together, which was great, but I think I missed some good times being with each girl individually.”
“As difficult as it is, we parents must consider the difference between challenging our authority and rebelling against it. All parents want their kids to leave home at 18, thinking for themselves, but many of us resist their practicing on us. When they appropriately challenge us, this is their way of figuring out what they think and believe. It enables them to develop the ability to think for themselves and not be swept up in what others think or believe, which is very important.”

WHAT DO YOU WANT YOUR DAD LEGACY TO BE?
“I strive every day to evaluate and observe my actions and words to ensure that I teach my children values to contribute to the world around them. I want my girls to grow up with compassion, generosity, consideration, and understanding. I want them to learn from us to see the world as an endless supply of opportunity to grow and learn. I want them to understand that people are more alike than different, and we each deserve the space to be ourselves. I want them to learn resilience in the challenges they will face in life. Most importantly, I want them to know that I will always be there to support and guide them when they lose sight of those values.”

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR CORE PARENTING BELIEFS?
“Be present with your kids. Don’t let the world or phone distract you when they are around; there are rarely situations or emergencies that take precedence over their attention.”
“Teach them early about finances and money management because unfortunately, it’s lacking in the majority of early education. I do my best to teach the basics to my children so they have financial literacy. Read children’s books with your kids that teach financial lessons based on their age. However, my daughters aren’t fans when I take bites of their snacks and candy and call it the ‘daddy tax’.”

HOW IS BEING A SKATEBOARDING MENTOR LIKE BEING A FATHER?
“It’s very similar. I’m trying to instill values and a strong work ethic, all while making kindness to others the top priority. I treat every kid I work with as I treat my children, seeing the best in them and believing they can accomplish whatever they set their minds to. While much of adult life is black and white, kids see in bright colors. I’m trying to help them keep that energy and build confidence in their God given abilities. The sky is the limit. I want all kids to find their passion and work as hard as possible to make their dream a reality.”

SANTA BARBARA SOLD
RISING FROM RUINS
At 6:42 a.m. on June 29, 1925, the city of Santa Barbara shook for 18 seconds as a 6.3 magnitude earthquake rocked the town, claiming 11 lives and forever transforming the landscape of the downtown area.
One hundred years ago, “The twin towers of Mission Santa Barbara collapsed, and 85% of the commercial buildings downtown were destroyed or badly damaged. A failed dam in the foothills released 45 million gallons of water, and a gas company engineer became a hero when he shut off the city’s gas supply and prevented fires like those that destroyed San Francisco 20 years earlier,” according to the Santa Barbara Historical Museum.
Aiming to promote a greater understanding of Santa Barbara’s history to raise awareness about current conditions and ways to prepare for future challenges, a group of local nonprofits, businesses, government agencies, and residents established the EQ25 Alliance. Commemorating the 100th anniversary of the 1925 earthquake through informative and entertaining programs, events, exhibitions, and community gatherings, EQ25 Alliance invites the public to participate and gain valuable, relevant insights.
San Marcos Building
“The 100th anniversary of the 1925 Santa Barbara earthquake offers a unique opportunity for Santa Barbara to learn from our past, reflect on our present, and plan for our future. It is a recognition of our community and our resilience,” notes the EQ25 Alliance on its website, EQ25.org
BUILDING BETTER
While homes, businesses, and the power plant were destroyed, the community united to help one another during the aftermath of the quake. Radio transmission, Cottage Hospital, and the post office were moved outdoors, and many citizens slept outside in the days of aftershocks post-earthquake. Residents also came together to ensure those in need had food and sustenance.
Rebuilding the city began with the establishment of the Board of Public Safety and
Reconstruction on July 1, 1925, says Michael Redmon, historian at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum.
“Safety was certainly an important consideration from the beginning of reconstruction,” notes Redmon, adding, “Within a year much of the downtown had been largely rebuilt, although certainly there was still much to do; for example, the Arlington Theater did not open until 1931.”
The style of today’s Santa Barbara took root during the post-earthquake reconstruction.
“Perhaps the largest impact was the acceleration of a movement that had already begun around the turn of the century to give the city a certain look based upon variants of the Spanish-Colonial Revival architectural style,” Redmon explains.
CONTINUED >
The biggest question that comes to my mind 100 years later is whether the city is equipped to handle another big quake.
“I would certainly think the city is better off today in regard to earthquake safety and in readiness to meet the emergency of a major quake,” says Redmon. “Construction standards are more stringent, and
retrofitting of buildings has taken place through the years.”

A nonprofit keeping our oceans, beaches, and streets debris-free
Tidy Seas
“Being dirty never really bothered me,” Ryan Wong says.
The Santa Barbara native grew up going to the ocean often—diving, fishing, or surfing. He’s also a motorcycle mechanic and service manager. Needless to say, he’s never been afraid of getting messy. But on a trip back from Catalina Island when he and his neighborhood buddy Ryan Hughes noticed a boat dumping trash directly into the ocean, the mess-loving guys turned their passion for the ocean into a project.
Tidy Seas was born from that trip out on the Pacific and Wong and Hughes’ desire to focus solely on trash. In just a short period of time, the 501c3 nonprofit (as of 2024) has hosted more than four dozen events from Carpinteria to Ventura and picked up over 50,000 pounds of trash.
The team started with the nonprofit Commercial Fisherman of Santa Barbara , to get out on the water and clean it up, continuing with monthly cleanups and weekly Summer Series hangs.
“I wanted to be different,” Wong says. “It’s not exciting to just come to a beach to pick up trash.” So Tidy Seas partners with local companies like Hook & Press, Handlebar, Santa Barbara Chicken Ranch, and Pali Wine to make their beach cleanups exciting. More than 500 volunteers not only get a caffeine and carb boost in the morning, but each person gets a raffle ticket automatically (if they stay until the end).
“It makes it like an event, and it’s built a really cool community,” he says. And the community continues to grow. Wong enthusiastically
shares about some regulars who come to nearly every monthly pickup, who’ve helped spread the word about this small but mighty nonprofit.
Their focus isn’t just on beaches, either. In the summer, weekly beach cleanups happen across town in places like the Funk Zone, and they’re applying for grants to help clean out river beds in Buellton. Plus, the City of Goleta named them team captains for its annual Earth Day celebration.
Tidy Seas is poised to ride an unsinkable wave into the summer, with lofty goals like purchasing their own Tidy Seas boat for ocean cleanups.
