Dear Readers, For the last 35 years, the Santa Barbara Independent has been delivering the news to Santa Barbarans, through wildfires, debris flows, and drought, through civic celebrations and joyful gatherings. During all that time, we have never asked you, our readers, for help. But now we must.

The COVID-19 pandemic has shut down the streets of Santa Barbara. As people have sheltered in their homes and businesses have closed, as theaters have gone dark and concerts are canceled, Independent reporters have remained working round the clock.

Online every day at independent.com, and still in print every Thursday, the Independent is bringing you the news you need to understand and survive this historic and dangerous time. Our reporters have asked the tough questions of public health leaders, pushed for the answers from elected officials, and shed light on the quiet heroes who are working to help their neighbors and risking their own lives to keep us safe.

Getting this information out to you, and throughout the community, will be vital in the weeks and months ahead if we are to face the COVID-19 pandemic’s coming surge fully prepared and protected.

Over half a million readers relied on Independent.com in the month of March alone. Close to 1,000 readers have subscribed to Indy+ since the beginning of the year. And despite the terrible economic blow this pandemic has delivered to our business community, those who are able to do so have continued to advertise.

We thank you all. We could not continue to publish without you.

Together, we are the Independent.

But gathering news is an expensive, time-consuming job. We have already tightened our proverbial belts, cut our costs, even furloughed

Santa Barbara Steels Itself for

Do-Reynoso committed to ramping up efforts.

Sheriff Bill Brown and County Fire Chief Mark Hartwig reported to the board how their departments are preparing for the surge — the County Jail being the most remarkable, with a 50-year record low of only 685 inmates to facilitate social distancing.

Aside from releasing low-level inmates, Brown said that new inmates spend 14 days in isolation from the general population, the most at-risk inmates are consolidated into one wing, and Wellpath, the jail’s contracted health services provider, developed a “state-of-the-art” response plan that involves taking the temperature of anyone doing business at the jail and more.

When it comes to front-line duty, not much has changed

COVID-19 SURGE

by Delaney Smith anta Barbarans are living in a parallel universe. The community has endured repeated evacuation fatigue from being forced out of their homes through numerous natural disasters the county has faced in recent years. Now, three weeks into being ordered inside their homes, the same restlessness and uneasiness is bubbling up.

Santa Barbarans are relentlessly asking, When will we go back to the other universe? While vacant beaches on perfect sunny days have replaced Santa Barbara’s beach-town charm for an indefinite amount of time, the county’s public health department has answered the next best question: When will the local number of COVID-19 cases reach a peak?

Between April 26 and July 28, according to the Director of Public Health Dr. Van Do-Reynoso at the County Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday. The date range is based on a surge planning model, she explained. If the model is accurate enough, Santa Barbara will be on the other side of “the curve” once case counts hit a peak in that date range.

“We are looking at three different models right now,” Do-Reynoso said. “From Penn Medicine, Meher Lab, and University of Washington. The model is limited by the small size of our county and our limited data, but we’re running the models and choosing what really reflects local needs.”

The report to the supervisors was the most comprehensive one given at any meeting since the virus outbreak took roots in Santa Barbara. The number of ventilators county-wide, for example, has proved to be an elusive figure to obtain in recent weeks. The public health director at this report was able to confirm the county has 85 ventilators and is looking for more.

“Hospitals have put them on order lists, and we submitted a request for 100 more, but how many we get is anyone’s guess,” Do-Reynoso said. “We have also ordered 500 disposable ventilators in hopes that between the two orders, our

community will get some. There is a fairly rigorous algorithm for dispersing scarce medical supplies, so we will see.”

In terms of other scarce medical supplies, the county on Monday received one million N95 masks for health-care workers. As of press time Wednesday, Public Health reported 99 positive COVID-19 cases in the county, 57 of which are recovering at home while 13 are recovering in a hospital, 11 of which are in an intensive care unit, 22 have fully recovered, and seven are pending an update.

Diagnosis:

‘Presumptive Positive’

by Tyler Hayden t hit Bob McDermott late on Saturday, March 21 — body pain, chills, a nasty cough. He knew right away it was COVID-19.

McDermott, 53, teaches kindergarten, and one of his students and her family were among the first to test positive in Santa Barbara County.

He left a message at his doctor’s office, but a neighbor — a retired emergency room nurse in her seventies — amicably insisted he get tested right away. So McDermott and his wife drove through heavy rain to Cottage Hospital, where they met staff huddled under intake tents in the parking lot.

He described his symptoms to a doctor, who gave him a quick onceover and said without hesitation, “I’m absolutely positive you have it, but we need to save the test.” McDermott remembers later remarking to his wife, “When have you ever heard a Bob McDermott doctor say they’re Staying Busy with absolutely positive Legos but Would Really about anything?”

Cottage sent Like Some Beer McDermott home with instructions to self-quarantine and take care of himself. He’s on Day 11 of fluids and rest, but the disease is still getting the better of him. He doesn’t get much sleep, kept up by coughing and a fever on top of stomach cramps and diarrhea, symptoms that doctors only recently said are connected to COVID-19. “I thought after 32 years of teaching and fighting off so many kids’ boogers I could handle this,” McDermott said, “but it’s been really rough. It’s the worst body aches I’ve ever had. I feel like I got in a fight then did a Jenny Schatzle workout.”

McDermott is just one of an untold number of “presumptive positive” cases living in Santa Barbara County, those who doctors believe are infected with the coronavirus but are unable to definitively diagnose due to the testing shortage. While the Centers for Disease Control and the California Department of Public Health combine both confirmed and presumptive cases in their regular reporting, Santa Barbara’s health officials only offer the confirmed number in their daily briefings and have declined to disclose our local presumptive figure.

McDermott, normally a “Pringle-tarian,” said his wife is making sure he eats healthy. But what he really wants is some beer. “If I have to drink one more glass of water…,” he muttered. In addition to books and TV, McDermott is keeping busy with Legos. “It’s an occupational hazard,” he explained, showing off via text his classroom’s incredible collection of Harry Potter scenes, complete with a Hogwarts Castle and a Quidditch pitch.

Based on what he’s read —Bob McDermott about other cases, McDermott said, his symptoms could last another three to five days. “Not out of the woods,” he said, “but hopefully the trees are thinning.” While the terrible body aches are starting to subside, he’s now struggling with shortness of breath. If there’s any silver lining, he said, it’s that he’s getting his infection out of the way and can use his gained immunity to care for others if they need it. His wife and his brother, who live with them, are so far still healthy.

McDermott is grateful for all the support and well-wishes he’s getting.

“Thanks to all the amazing people out there,” he said. “Thanks for all the offers to help.” They have everything they need at the moment, he said, n “But I do have one urgent request: send beer!”

All of the schools in Santa Barbara Unified School District give students in grades 3 and above an iPad as part of its Tech Equity program, so those students are somewhat adjusted to working virtually. Todd Ryckman, the district’s director of technology, said that a portion of next year’s new iPads will be redistributed to students in pre-kindergarten through 2nd grade, and those students will receive them in the next few weeks.

As for Wi-Fi access, Ryckman said recent survey results estimate that between 1,500 and 2,000 families are without Wi-Fi in their homes. Hope and Goleta Union school districts have partnered

“They are 2nd graders, so a huge part of [their virtual education] is keeping them engaged and individualizing their learning as much as possible,” said Kustura, who has been teaching for 13 years.

Stopping TrickleDown Trauma

by Tyler Hayden n Wednesday, March 25, police arrested a Santa Barbara man for “willful cruelty to a child.” On Thursday, March 26, a young Santa Maria mother was charged with alcohol offenses and child abuse.

On Friday, March 27, a fight between a Goleta couple spilled onto their daughter.

As the coronavirus lockdown keeps families confined to their homes, where worries over money and anxiety about the future can explode, Santa Barbara authorities are seeing a spike in domestic violence. “For the most vulnerable people in our community, shelter-in-place is the same as putting them in a cage with a violent gorilla,” said District Attorney Joyce Dudley in a public statement.

Some saw it coming. “We Santa Barbara anticipated this,” said Alana Child Abuse Spikes Walczak, the director of CALM, Child Abuse ListenAmid Coronavirus ing Mediation. “We know Lockdown that child abuse and domestic violence are directly connected to stress.” During the 2008 recession, Walczak explained, the leading cause of unnatural death in some children’s hospitals went from car accidents to abusive head trauma.

While more families are reaching out for help themselves —10 from Santa Barbara proper and 16 from North County communities in the first few days of this week —outside reports of child abuse have actually decreased, Walczak said. That’s because kids aren’t in school and mandated reporters like teachers aren’t able to spot the signs of trouble.

And that’s why it’s incumbent on all of us, Walczak explained, to be checking in with friends and neighbors. To offer compassion and support when we can and make the hard calls when we need to. “Children living on our block may be suffering in silence,” she said. “If we see or hear something, we need to be proactive. Even within our own families.”

In times of trauma, Walczak went on, adults often think about the “what ifs.” Children, on the other hand, continue to live in the moment and thrive on routine. So focus on the here and now, she advised. “Avoid anticipatory anxiety.” Turn off the news and put down your phone. “What kids will remember is what their day-to-day existence was like. It was weird —they were trapped inside, not in school —but we want them to remember board games and walks and tickle fights, not stress and violence.”

It’s also important to know in these strange and difficult times that it’s okay to feel a range of emotions, Walczak said. It’s okay to laugh. She had to remind herself of that after the 1/9 Debris Flow when she’d feel guilty about moments of happiness. “Kids’ processing is through play and imaging,” she explained.

“So you have to find a way to be light and lighthearted. I had to do that as a mom. Give kids space to be kids.”

CALM staff are working remotely but still offering their full range of services via telehealth technology, which has even had some unexpected benefits.

One of their clients, for instance, a young girl with select mutism who would only speak to her family at home, is now opening up to her therapist over video chat.

Refer or request services by visiting calm4kids.org or calling (805) 965-2376.

A Week of Furloughs and Layoffs

Among those affected by the city’s layoffs are parking kiosk attendants since public lots are now free to use, though they remain mostly empty.

by Nick Welsh and Brian Osgood

S

ince the full impact of COVID-19 began to hit, Santa Barbara businesses have been forced to begin furloughing or laying off employees. Last week, three large employers had to face the reality of Governor Gavin Newsom’s order on March 19 telling Californians to stay at home: Sansum Clinics, the City of Santa Barbara, and the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians.

On Thursday, March 26, Sansum Clinics CEO Kurt Ransohoff announced that hundreds of Sansum employees were on temporary furlough in response to unsustainable losses running into the millions of dollars caused by the COVID-19 crisis. None of the employees, Ransohoff stressed, are being laid off; all will retain their health insurance during the furlough. For those experiencing financial hardship, he added, Sansum will help defray the burden of employee contributions.

Ransohoff estimated the furloughs, which are effective for eight weeks, would affect half of Sansum’s 2,000 workers. Those employees will either be furloughed outright or experience a 20 percent cut in pay. Ransohoff said the action should cut Sansum’s payroll by a third. He and other members of the clinic’s executive leadership will take a pay cut, as well.

Physicians are not included in this action, though many will experience a significant loss of income due to reduced demand for their services.

The departments most affected are those dependent on elective surgery, such as facial and plastic surgery. Radiation, oncology, and obstetrics will be less impacted. Sansum currently treats 130,000 patients a year out of 20 clinics.

The losses started to show up in February but really achieved critical mass after Governor Newsom declared a state of emergency. Management staff was notified of the furloughs late Wednesday night via video conferencing. Affected employees were notified the next day.

Ransohoff said Sansum and Cottage have been in discussion concerning how the furloughed workers could be hired by Cottage to help staff during the anticipated surge in COVID-19 patients.

Ransohoff said he’s never experienced anything like this in his 30 years with Sansum. “This is huge,” he stated.

Hundreds of hourly employees who work for Santa Barbara’s City Hall—or were about to—will now be joining the 3.3 million Americans already filing for jobless benefits after layoff notices were

sent out on Friday, March 27. Among those affected are parking kiosk attendants since public lots are now free, as well as workers hired during the summer for Parks and Recreation programs.

City Administrator Paul Casey said the city plans on paying out accrued PTO (paid time off) on the check that comes out in two weeks and encouraged workers “to contact our HR Department to resolve any issues or concerns they have.” Since Santa Bar-

Workers at Sansum, City of S.B., and Chumash Properties Face Uncertain Future bara has $30 million in reserves, Casey said it’s still too soon to discuss layoffs and furloughs for fulltime salaried workers but acknowledged such conversations could happen.

Mayor Cathy Murillo noted that under the Senate’s recently negotiated and signed $2 trillion emergency recovery plan, those laid off will now be eligible for enhanced unemployment compensation payments and for a longer duration. The mayor highlighted the emergency measure adopted by both the Santa Barbara City Council and the County Board of Supervisors this past week barring landlords — both commercial and residential—from evicting any tenants over the next two months for failure to pay their rent because of the COVID-19 disaster.

In the meantime, it’s doubtful that the $2 trillion relief and recovery bill just ratified by the Senate and signed by the president will provide any direct and immediate relief to the City of Santa Barbara. That measure targeted its largesse for cities of 500,000 people or more. There may be some state grant money for smaller cities like Santa Barbara, and perhaps Congress will pass a supplemental relief bill that provides funding for smaller-sized cities. All of that is yet to be determined.

The City Hall news hit the same day as the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians — the largest employer in the valley— announced they would be extending the temporary closure of their properties for an additional 30 days, probably until late April. The affected properties include Chumash Casino Resort, Hotel Corque, Root 246, Hadsten House, and the Kitá Wines tasting room, all of which employ around 2,000 workers, the majority n of whom have been furloughed.

CORONAVIRUS

UCSB Molecular Biologists to the Rescue

by Nick Welsh he slow rate of COVID-19 testing, a continuing source of frustration in Santa Barbara County, would have been significantly slower were it not for the critical donation made by four UCSB professors working on a COVID-19 test of their own. The researchers donated key chemicals needed by Santa Barbara County’s Public Health Department so that its tests could proceed.

The chemicals, known as reagents, are critical ingredients to determine whether telltale enzymes specific to the virus are present. The donation of this particular reagent — called TaqMan — was enough to allow county public health officers to process 600 test kits at a public health lab in Ventura County. Santa Barbara County does not have its own processing lab, and the Donation of Key Ventura facility has proved to be among Chemicals Maintains the most reliable Rate of COVID-19 and fastest.

Testing The four UCSB molecular biologists—Max Wilson, Carolina Arias, Kenneth Kosik, and Diego Acosta Alvear—provided a pipette’s worth of TaqMan 1 to Dr. Stewart Comer, director of the Cottage Health Laboratory and head of the county’s testing program.

As Comer explained, reagents are key ingredients in the COVID test and the shortage of them threatened to slow down the rate at which tests are processed in Santa Barbara County. “You can’t get them on back order,” Comer said. “It’s like making a cake; you need exactly the right ingredients.”

County Supervisor Gregg Hart is credited with making the link between Comer and the UCSB professors. According to Wilson, those research efforts look extremely promising and might yield a new test that’s significantly cheaper, faster, and more sensitive than the ones now deployed, which typically take anywhere from one to six days to obtain results.

Wilson said the group was willing to give up so vital an ingredient because it would be used on tests involving people who are clearly sick right now. The test Wilson and his colleagues are working on, he noted, will be initially used to discover the prevalence of the infection among individuals who are asymptomatic (i.e., showing no symptoms). If and when this kit is eventually cleared for testing, it still will not be clinical in application. Translated, that means it would be administered to 3,000 asymptomatic subjects to find out how many individuals are infected.

The results will not be used to notify individuals whether they are infected or not; rather, the aggregate numbers will paint a statistical picture of how widespread the infection has gotten.

That information, collected and tabulated in the aggregate, could be helpful in determining just how widespread the infection rates are among certain populations. “We kept enough [TaqMan] on hand to continue our research and verify our tests,” Wilson said. “But clearly, we prioritize sick people in the hospital [over] asymptomatic people.

If they run out again, they can come back and get the rest of what we n have.”

very important thing,” Paz said. “But we also need to be respectful. We understand people aren’t totally focused on this right now.”

Census counts dictate how much federal funding communities get for a host of local services, from free school lunch programs to Medicare to housing vouchers to road repair. They also determine congressional boundaries. According to Paz, each person uncounted in Santa Barbara County reduces federal funding by $2,000 per year for 10 years. Put another way, an undercount of 5 percent would mean a loss of $430 million over the next decade.

Under even the best of circumstances, the Census struggles to reach “hard-to-count” populations—minorities, children between the ages of zero and 5, transient students, and homeless people. It’ll be especially difficult this time around. Paz said the committee is working with trusted community partners to contact and communicate with these residents.

hile the coronavirus outbreak has put most of American society on ice, one government function marches on— the 2020 Census. For the first time, responses can be given online or by phone, which is expected to increase participation.

But given the state of things, regional organizers have had to think creatively about how to get the word out because the stakes are surprisingly high.

“The Census is really touching people one-to-one, face-to-face,” said Pedro Paz, director of grant making for the Santa Barbara Foundation and co-chair of Santa Barbara’s Census 2020 Complete Count Committee. “We can’t do that this time.”

So rather than tabling in person or holding group events, Paz explained, the committee is phone- and text-banking and organizing tele-town halls.

ith family and friends back in Asia, Wenjing Chen, principal of the Santa Barbara Chinese School, is all too familiar with the pain the coronavirus can bring. So are her students. “We have seen the outbreak in China, so we know what we are facing right now,” Chen said.

“We are fighting against time.”

To help stave off a shortage of protective equipment for Santa Barbara’s medical workers — which doctors and nurses in China faced with devastating results—Chen and her students have raised nearly $12,000 to buy masks, gowns, and gloves overseas and have them shipped to the Central Coast. They are using their connections and language skills to track

down the right Chinese suppliers and have so far delivered hundreds of items to Cottage Health, including N95 masks and face shields. Hundreds more are on the way.

“We know the medical workers are working so hard on the front line,” Chen said. “If there’s something we can do to protect them, why not?”

As far as she’s aware, Santa Barbara’s Chinese community hasn’t experienced the xenophobic backlash reported in other cities across the country. Chen arrived in the U.S. in 2013 and has always found Americans “very friendly and very helpful,” she said. “We want to return the kindness. This is our community, and we care about it. We’re just glad to help.”

Officer-Involved McNabb Killing Deemed Justified etails in the officer-involved shooting of David McNabb — a former custody deputy who allegedly killed his sister, mother, and mother’s fiancé — were released by the District Attorney’s Office analysis, which determined justifiable homicide.

“I killed them,” McNabb had said to one of the deputies called to the McNabb house on December 28, 2018, who knew him from their work together at the main jail. The senior deputy appealed to McNabb to drop his rifle and asked if anyone in the house needed help. McNabb answered that he knew the rules, the report stated. “I have a rifle. You guys have enough to take me out.”

replaced those deputies, and the Hostage Negotiation Team and a dog and his handler were on-site.

The officers noted that McNabb took his hand off his rifle every now and then, and they planned to hit him with beanbag rounds and rubber bullets. The ensuing scene was one of confusion. After the non-lethal rounds were fired, the police dog leapt down the hallway, but McNabb grabbed his rifle again and pointed it toward the deputies, who had no cover and fired.

When the dog didn’t return on command, his handler ran down the hallway to see if he’d been hit. McNabb lay on the ground, and a medic was called to treat his chest wound. McNabb grabbed the knife at his belt, the report stated, as the deputies tried to pin his arms on the floor, slippery with blood.

McNabb pulled on an officer’s rifle, who fired. McNabb died at the hospital. The autopsy determined five gunshot wounds had killed him.

The District Attorney’s analysis concluded on March 24 that McNabb had grabbed the deputy’s rifle and tried to stab him. By law, the fear of death or grave injury that induced was enough to justify the use of deadly force.

Stoffle, who reportedly moved to Lompoc from out of the area in mid-2019, was found deceased from a gunshot wound in a residence on the 300 block of North Y Street in Lompoc on 3/25. Terry has pleaded not guilty, and his bail is set at $3 million.

wo young men were arrested on March 28 in connection with a fight the evening before at Sola and San Andres streets. The incident disrupted the relative calm that has broken out around the county since Governor Gavin Newsom’s shelter-in-place order on March 19.

Several Westside residents had called 9-1-1 on Friday at around 5:30 p.m., reporting many men were fighting with each other, apparently using some improvised weapons.

The corner was clear when police arrived, but an injured person was found several blocks away, and Cottage received a second victim; both had stab wounds. On Saturday, two other individuals—Christian Menth, 22, and Miguel Ascencio, 18—were booked into County Jail on conspiracy and attempted murder charges, with gang enhancements.

The Santa Barbara Zoo welcomed a six-foot, 125.5pound baby male giraffe named Twiga on 3/27.

Twiga, whose name directly translates to “giraffe” in Swahili, is the firstborn calf to his mother, Adia.

Twiga’s father, Michael, has been with the zoo since 2011 and has since sired eight calves. Twiga and Adia will continue to bond “behind the scenes” until zookeepers determine she is ready to leave the giraffe barn. Twiga’s arrival makes five total Masai giraffes in the zoo. Fans can keep up with Twiga on the zoo’s social media channels for photos, videos, and updates.

Around the county, however, domestic calls had seen an uptick, Brown said.

Plains All American Pipeline — the Houston-based energy company convicted in 2018 of fouling state waters and harming local wildlife by a California jury — has been ordered to pay $60 million for the damages created by what were ruled to be negligent practices that contributed to the Refugio Oil Spill. On 3/19, the Environmental Defense Center put out a statement questioning the wisdom of locking down the amount of Plains’ payment before the public has had the opportunity to review and comment on the damage assessment and draft restoration plan, concerns echoed by State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson. n

SMILE WHEN YOU SAY THAT: Public health

authorities find themselves forced to walk the razor’s edge between inducing panic and informing the public as they grapple with a pandemic that even the best-case scenarios suggest could kill 100,000-240,000 people across the globe in the weeks ahead. To prevent the former, it frequently feels like they’re holding back on the latter at their daily COVID-19 media briefings. However, there’s been no shortage of good advice dispensed: “Call your mother,” declared Gregg Hart, the new chair of the county board of supervisors now charged with extracting straight talk out of government functionaries not accustomed to dealing with the media.

“Laugh,” admonished Dr. Henning Ansorg, the county’s new public health czar, a man whose fate saw fit to toss him into the deep end of a bottomless pool.

The latest to throw down with such advice was Dr. Jason Prystowsky, one of Santa Barbara’s many philosopher-king superheroes, who also happens to be one of Cottage Hospital’s bestknown ER docs. Over the years, Prystowsky has made it his habit to be omnipresent, if not omniscient, especially when it comes to medical care afforded to homeless people. Earlier this week, Prystowsky delivered his second city-wide webinar on the virus. Beyond the cumuli nimbus cloud of medical statistics, Prystowsky recommended the following: “Smile,” “Be kind,” and “Don’t be a racist.”

The latter, I presumed, alluded to efforts by

the Commander in Grief—whose diuretic ramblings on the pandemic express every conceivable opinion and its exact opposite. Our dear leader insists on describing COVID-19 as the “Chinese Flu,” or occasionally the “Wuhan Flu.” Others in his administration have embraced the “Kung Flu” instead.

This is hardly the first time Americans have played the blame game in a pandemic. Back in 1918, the United States somehow managed to win naming rights for the flu pandemic that killed 50-100 million people—kind of a big margin of error —tagging it the “Spanish Flu.” The theory was that the occupants of a German military submarine that popped up off the coast of Spain during the height of World War I somehow got the disease up and rolling. Spain was a handy scapegoat at the time, the United States having only just stolen the island nation of Cuba and all of the Philippines from Spain in a war that proved far more protracted and bloodier than popular recollection—Remember the Maine!

—would suggest.

I would come to learn from Betsy J. Green —a local historian of note (and columnist for this paper) and perhaps the world’s most preeminent Mesa-ologist — that the so-called Spanish Flu had, in fact, originated right here in the United States. It spread throughout Europe, she reminded me, by the infusion of American Doughboys deployed to finish what would come to be known as “The Great War,” which, we are told, killed anywhere from 20-40 million people — another vast margin of error. A month before

that bloody paroxysm concluded in November 1918, Santa Barbara headlines were already screaming about another invasion, the flu. By October, 50 articles had been written in the local newspaper about the attack of the “grippe,” another term for the flu. “Fifty Cases, Five Serious Ones, Already Reported in City,” read one headline. Green writes all about it in her book Way Back When: Santa Barbara in 1918 (and 1919, too).

What’s striking is the similarity between Santa Barbara’s reaction then and now. By October 14, Green discovered, Santa Barbara schools had been completely shut down, the movie theater closed, and Sunday Mass at the Mission canceled for the first time in 132 years. Naturally, there were not enough face masks to go around, so the local Red Cross jumped in to sew 1,400.

Private individuals did the same, sewing together multiple layers of cheese cloth and gauze, dabbing the finished product with several drops of bichloride of mercury or kerosene, toxic compounds then believed to sterilize the finished product.

Because lemons were seen as a remedy, local lemon growers did well, as buyers across the United States beat a path to Santa Barbara’s door.

Business boomed for the Veronica Medicinal Springs Water Company, as well. Anything that tasted so bad—some have likened the water’s flavor to basement mildew —had to be good for you.

Santa Barbara quarantined anything and everything. Halloween was canceled. Flying

INDEPENDENT.COM

“A” Studios —our version of Hollywood—was

likewise shut down after one of its leading men took ill in New York City and never got better.

Even Thanksgiving was sacrificed as newspapers bore such headlines as “Flu Epidemic Unabated, Report.” ‘Flu Situation Worse,” and “Grippe Malady Proves Plague.”

The libraries shut down. Pool halls went silent, bowling alleys black. Barbers had to wear face masks. Cops, too, just to set a proper example. “Wear Your Mask or Cops Will Get You,” one headline warned. Homebound families struck with terminal cabin fever got some relief, courtesy of local record shops. Record shop workers delivered records “on approval,” meaning they could be listened to for a day and then returned.

Netflix, anybody?

In hindsight, this probably did more harm than good. Shortly after Christmas, 50 new cases were reported in one day, 191 in just four days. Christmas was blamed, thus predating the so-called war on Christmas. Teachers mailed out assignments; students who failed to finish made a point not to use enough stamps in mailing them back. It became a thing. For all this, reports from the time do not include fatality counts. Reporters proved uncharacteristically squeamish when it came to such details.

On February 11, the quarantine ended. “No longer will State Street look like the aftermath of a Quaker meeting,” read one account.

That was five weeks after it started. We’re now entering week three of an onslaught that’s only just getting warmed up. Already, many of us are having a hard time.

So, by all means laugh. Don’t be a racist. And —Nick Welsh definitely call your mother.

DID YOU YOU KNOW DID KNOW Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) are the most diverse, numerous and serious diseases transmitted to susceptible vertebrate hosts by mosquitoes and other blood-feeding arthropods. There are several virus agents of encephalitis in the United States: West Nile virus (WN), eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), western equine encephalitis (WEE), St. Louis encephalitis (SLE), La Crosse (LAC) encephalitis, dengue and yellow fever all of which are transmitted by mosquitoes. A new Powassan-like virus has recently been isolated from deer ticks.

From Cottage Emergency

A

s emergency physicians at Cottage Health, we live and work in this community, so we are also your neighbors, friends, and the local doctors who may diagnose your child’s ear infection at 3 a.m. or fix your broken wrist.

These are trying times, and nowhere is the anxiety and stress felt more than in the Emergency Room. We are the frontlines of this fight. Every day, we are seeing increasing numbers of sick patients with COVID-19.

Some are walking and talking and go home safely to recover. Others are very ill and need to be admitted to the hospital for care, some in the intensive care unit.

Every day, we are seeing more and more of these cases.

We are inundated with news, updates, emails, and social media posts regarding the virus. People are talking about the availability of tests and debating about how serious our situation will get. The reality is that COVID-19 is here. The virus is spreading. And the situation will likely get worse before it gets better.

This is not a political issue, not a liberal or conservative issue. This is a human issue. Regardless of your income or immigration status, every one of us is affected by this pandemic.

For the sake of our community, we implore each of you to do your part to heed the warnings of our public health physicians. Stay home, wash your hands often, sanitize the surfaces you touch, and practice social distancing. It is up to each and every one of us to do our part to limit the spread of COVID-19. If you are young, healthy, and fearless, don’t do it for you; do it for your mother or father or grandparent. They are the ones who will suffer and potentially die as the virus spreads.

If you are experiencing symptoms, assume that you have COVID-19. Isolate at home, rest, hydrate, and if necessary, contact your physician by phone or use a virtual health app. If you have trouble breathing, chest pain, weakness, or have significant coexisting medical conditions, come to the Emergency Room.

If you are well and fearful that you may have been exposed — stay home and quarantine yourself. You aren’t going to be tested. There aren’t enough supplies to test everyone.

Although N95 masks and personal protective equipment are in limited supply, rest assured that the physicians and nurses of our community are committed to serving the needs of our patients. If supplies run out, we will find ways to keep going. We will still be here. We will continue to care. To us, this is more than a job in our community; it is a duty we chose to care for and serve our friends, families, and neighbors.

Together, we will get through this crisis. It is times like these that bring out the best in us. Please make a phone call to check in with your family, friends, and neighbors. Help those who need help. And we will look forward to the day when we can share a handshake or a hug again. Until then, let us all do our part to combat COVID-19.

—Dr. Brett Wilson II and Dr. Nels Gerhardt

Tankers Away

T

he oil tanker truck accident with 4,500 gallons of crude oil spilling into the Cuyama River above Twitchell Reservoir is connected to the ExxonMobil oil trucking project for the 101 and 166. ExxonMobil wants to open drilling and begin 70 tanker trucking trips per day on this dangerous highway.

This colossal folly would allow tanker trucking, night and day, on the precarious, dangerous Highway 166. The Tripadvisor description, with lots of big rigs and a steep grade into Maricopa, advises not to pull a trailer if possible. It didn’t take a crystal ball to foresee a significant oil spill accident.

The 2012 Measure A safety study found 26 faults on the 166; 30 people have died in collisions between 2003

and 2006. During the 10-day 101 closure due to the Montecito debris flow, five major accidents occurred.

Please, readers, while you’re hunkered down, make your knowledge of this connection known to the County of Santa Barbara (klehr@countyofsb.org) and let the Planning Commission know you are alarmed by the potentially catastrophic repercussions generated by the oil trucking project. —Roberta Parkinson, S.B.

Break the Trend

T

he cards seem to always be stacked against us.

From the moment we are born, we already have our lives drawn out for us, due to our parents’ socioeconomic standing. My mom had me at 19 years old, with a high-school degree and a year of community college under her belt. We lived in the rundown area of town because you live where you can afford. But the less money you pay in rent, the worse your neighborhood seems to be — including the public schools you are meant to attend. Public schooling is broken up by district; because of this, where your parents are able to afford to live determines the type of education you are about to base your foundations of learning on.

Children have the right to the same standard of public education as their peers in town. As a community, Santa Barbara needs to have the same standard of public education across the board at all elementary schools under our school district. I urge the people in power to continue to work toward our town’s issue of letting the public’s socioeconomic background determine our youth’s right to education.

But, to my fellow students, though there may be a trend that has been going on for generations, in order for there to be a change, someone needs to break the recurring trend. And so, I hope you have the stamina to be the one to break that trend. Fight for your right to a better education; work harder than your peers.

Know that though some classmates are being handed tutors, private coaches, and access to materials that you may not have, you still have your work ethic. Having to strive on your own isn’t easy, but it will be worth it.

—Zoë Solis, S.B.

Tax Notice

P

roperty taxes are due April 10. With hotels, restaurants, nightclubs, bars, theaters, and wine and beer tasting rooms shut down and nonessential, other business closed, does the county really need 100 percent of the property taxes due on April 10? Tens of thousands of our fellow citizens are unemployed.

Both the federal and state have deferred tax payments from April 15 to July 15 without penalties or interest. The county can’t print money as the federal government can, and the county does not have the state’s $15 billion tax surplus, but can the county defer some or all of the April 10 property taxes without penalties?

—Stephen Pepe, Clos Pepe Vineyards, Lompoc

Harry Hagen, County Treasurer-Tax Collector, replies: Only the state has the authority to modify

the property tax delinquency date extend it. However, given the current circumstances, the Treasurer-Tax Collector is prepared to cancel penalties related to the COVID-19 pandemic or any other valid statutory reason after the delinquency date.

ocial isolation has happened before, though perhaps it’s not taught in history classes. The great influenza pandemic of 1917-18 caused immense suffering, including the deaths of my paternal grandparents. Counties and towns that practiced social isolation learned that it worked to stop the spread of the disease.

Events were canceled. Schools were closed.

When the 1916 polio epidemic hit, people went to the mountains for fresh air, swimming pools closed, and people were warned not to go to beaches or amusement parks. Polio tended to spread every summer well into the 1950s, until vaccines were widely administered.

In both World Wars, people endured social isolation from curfews and blackouts in coastal and inland areas, both in the U.S. and in Europe.

We must remember the Ebola virus in Africa was contained because travel was restricted, sanitation measures were taken, and schools were closed, and these measure worked.

The coronavirus has proven itself a worthy and virulent infectious foe. I hope we never see the day again when a pandemic wipes out 50 million people, and we don’t have to. Sanitation and isolation must be taken seriously to slow the spread. —Diana Diaz, Lompoc

y dad always used to say: “Nothing is ever so bad that a little bit of good doesn’t come from it.” With the coronavirus pandemic, I am saddened to hear of all the deaths and all the people afflicted with this virus. The world went on pause from our regular lives, yet I think this is where some of the good comes in!

Now more than ever, people will wash their

hands more and stay home when they feel ill. With fewer germs spread, maybe the future holds fewer pandemics.

I’ve walked two times daily with dogs in the Santa Ynez Valley for nine years. I see many more people out and about walking — alone or with another person or their dogs. Bike riding and jogging. Everyone is friendly and seems happy and less stressed.

Is this virus a way for people to stop and think about what they want moving forward? Could we change our lifestyles from always working and hurrying and stressing over a bigger house or a newer car or more electronics? Maybe we’ll realize that less can be more!

This big pause button gives us a chance to reflect, to prioritize, and maybe to simplify.

We all need more in life, but a different kind of more. More freedom; less stress. More family time; less work time. More outdoors and sunshine; less indoors and artificial light. More nature; less electronics.

As we move forward with cleaner hands and social distancing, I wish you the little bit of good to come.

ince all the restrictions started, it’s been totally ridiculous trying to find a restroom. COVID-19 or not, there’s still a need to have restroom access for essential workers who are from out of town (including truck drivers, whom we depend on for delivery of goods), homeless individuals, and people out for necessary activities. Opening up some bathrooms during this crisis will certainly do more good than harm.

Zulrizal, “Rizal”, “Riz” Azhari Putih 3/17/1988 – 3/20/2020

Zulrizal, “Rizal”, “Riz” Azhari Putih – a deeply beloved son, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend – unexpectedly passed in his apartment in Los Angeles, CA on Friday, March 20, 2020.

He died 3 days after his 32nd birthday.

He was born in Jakarta, Indonesia but brought to Los Angeles as a baby, where he spent most of his childhood. He lived the majority of his teenage and adult life in Santa Barbara, CA with his father – where he built many long-lasting and loving relationships. He graduated a proud Don and attended the local city college, where he received several AA degrees before eventually overcoming overwhelming odds to find success and stability at Wells Fargo Advisors in Los Angeles. He resided there the last several years of his life.

“Riz was the one who never said ‘no’”, says those closest to him. He was someone who never seemed to run out of things to give. The things that mattered.

Energy, time, support, love, encouragement. He gave everything free of judgment and full of genuine spirit. Many friends considered and loved him like family.

Rizal loved to be around friends and they, in turn, loved to be around him. He could always be counted on to be a source of joy and light no matter the situation. He never lost his childlike wonder and imagination.

He was someone who never had it easy. Someone who always had another hill to climb. And instead of becoming deterred he became determined. Hungrier.

More motivated to be successful despite it all. And just before tragedy hit, he made it all happen. “He died winning”, says his closest and most trusted friend, Buddy Lantz.

He is survived by his father, Zubir Putih; his mother, Linda Rachmat; his grandmother, Sri Bulan; several aunts and uncles; many of his dearest friends who considered him family; and a widespread community of close friends.

A Viewing will be held at and arranged by McDermott-Crockett & Associates Mortuary on Saturday, April 4th 2020. All are welcome, but due to COVID-19 restrictions we ask that those who would like to attend RSVP by registering for a time slot at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ zulrizal-riz-putihs-viewing-tickets-100994296660 If you would like to assist with final expenses, please visit the GoFundMe page at: https:// www.gofundme.com/f/ zulrizal-putih-funeral 18

Eugene W. Peterson 5/13/1919 – 3/13/2020

Age 100. Gene was born in Lakeview, Oregon as the 7th of 8 children. He attended Purdue University and California Institute of Technology majoring in physics. After working for Dow Chemical company in Michigan for 7 years, Gene moved his family to Santa Barbara in 1951 where he was one of the founders of Santa Barbara Research Center.

He loved his annual backpack trip to the eastern Sierra and was a firm believer in stewardship of the land. He was preceded in death by Lorna Thomas Peterson, his loving wife of 63 years. He leaves behind his three children Rolf, Christine and Allan (Janet), grandchildren Peter (Vickie) Spiess, Eric (Carolyn) Spiess, Samantha Peterson and Zachary Peterson and three great-grandchildren. Gene was deeply loved by his family and well respected by his peers. No services are planned at this time.

Thomas Stieglitz

11/13/1921 – 3/25/2020

Thomas “Tom” Stieglitz, 98, passed peacefully into life eternal on March 25, 2020. Tom was born in Pittsburgh, PA, and raised in Indianapolis, IN where he graduated from Arsenal Technical High School. After graduation, he enlisted in the Army Air Corps.

Tom served during WWII as a Staff Sergeant with the 31st Fighter Group in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations. Among many commendations for his actions in England, Africa, Sicily, and Italy, he was awarded the Bronze Star for valor. Tom returned home from the war in June 1945.

In 1945, Tom joined the Masonic Order, becoming a full member of the Scottish Rite, and enrolled in Purdue University, where he went on to receive a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering. In the summer of 1946 Tom met Jean Scheuring, a beautiful red headed farm girl in a blue gingham dress, when he helped his mom and dad move to a small home located on the farm owned by Jean’s family in Greenwood, WI. He proposed to his life-long love at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve while dancing at the Silver Dome in Neillsville, WI. She said, “Yes!”,

they were married in 1947, and as newlyweds, moved to Indianapolis, IN to start their life together.

The most important events in Toms life happened in Indianapolis. He became the proud father of four children, and his Christian life was transformed and strengthened when he and Jean attended the Billy Graham Indianapolis Crusade in 1959.

Tom began his career with General Motors at the Allison Division in Indianapolis. His 32-year career with GM took his family first to Michigan and then to California in 1961. There, he was head of Maintenance and Operations at the Delco Facility in Goleta, CA. One of the highlights of his career was working with the team developing the Lunar Rover, which went to the moon with the Apollo Project. He retired from General Motors in 1981. After his first retirement, he worked for the Goleta Union School District for 8 years as head of Maintenance, Operations, and Transportation, finally retiring in 1989.

Tom loved and cherished his family, instilling in them Christian values. He exemplified Christ’s love and service in his membership at St. Mark UMC, serving the church in many capacities, including teaching children’s Sunday school. He kept family connections through annual cross-country camping vacations from California to the family farm in Greenwood, WI. With his children’s input, he’d plan different driving routes between the mid-west and the west coast in order to appreciate the natural beauty of our country, teaching them to “in awesome wonder, consider all the works Thy Hand hath made” as taken from his favorite hymn How Great Thou Art. The pinnacle of his outdoor activities was scaling the summit of Mt. Whitney. The most valuable legacy he leaves to his family is his example as a loving and dedicated spouse and father, grounded in his deep faith in Jesus.

Tom’s service to others extended beyond his family. He received an award from General Motors for excellence in community activities, was recognized for leadership and service to the Goleta Valley Chamber of Commerce, and served on the board of the Goleta Valley Community Center. He looked out for his neighbors by running errands and performing handyman tasks where needed. For over 20 years he joined other Delco retirees, making wooden toys for children in need at the Unity Shoppe. This organization held a very special place in Tom’s heart and continues in its efforts to provide joy to children in the local community that might otherwise not have anything for Christmas.

As one of his favorite Psalms concludes, “Surely he will dwell in the house of the Lord (and in our hearts) forever.” We give thanks for the life of Tom Stieglitz, gone from our sight, but present with the Lord.

Tom was preceded in death by his step-father, Frank Scheuring, his mother, Inez Irene (Lewis) Scheuring, his spouse Jean (Scheuring) Stieglitz, and his brother, Robert Stieglitz. He is survived by his sons and their

spouses, Karl Chester and Donna (Schultz) Stieglitz of Dubuque, IA, John Franklin and Jan (Bronson) Stieglitz of Sharpsville, IN, William Elton “Wes” and Jody (Opelt) Stieglitz of Greenwood, WI, and daughter Anne Marie (Stieglitz) Weger of Santa Barbara, CA.

Art’s greatest love was for his family and he boasted with pride about the successes of his wife and two sons. Whatever interests his sons had he fully supported, be it adult softball leagues Steve was in, or Ironman triathlons that Dave raced. He and Shirley would travel wherever his boys were, in order to support them in their endeavors. He was also extremely proud of his garden, taking great pride in manicuring his lawn and yard, where a stray weed or out of place lawn blade could never be found!

Art is survived by his loving wife of nearly 65 years, and his two sons. He is also survived by his brothers Leonard, David (Brother Leo, OFM), Videll, Jr., and sister Mary Alice, as well as grandchildren Edward Gonzales and Chelsey Gold, great grandchildren, and numerous nephews, nieces and cousins. Art was preceded in death by his parents Justina and Videll Sr. and two brothers; Gilbert and Henry.

A Celebration of Life and Memorial for Art will be announced in the future.

They had two sons while living in Ventura; Steven (Lisa) and David. They moved back to Santa Barbara in 1960 after Art was offered a job with Frito-Lay snack foods. Art continued with Fritos for 32 years and retired as a District Sales Manager. He was very proud of the relationships he had with the numerous grocery retailers in Santa Barbara County, as well as the salesmen he trained and supervised over the years. Art was very well respected for his professionalism and attention to detail, having built numerous product displays in their stores. Many a retailer would later comment that Art, even on his day off or in retirement, could not walk past a display without straightening and fluffing up the merchandise on the racks so it looked perfect for the

Ever passionate about investment, real estate, and finance, Jim switched careers to become a real estate broker serving the Santa Barbara area for 41 years and became the president of the board of Realtors in 1985 and later, regional Vice President of The California Association of Realtors. Jim also taught “Real Estate Practices” and “Real Estate for the Small Investor” at Santa Barbara City College.

With pride and dedication, Jim served on the Board of Directors at Community West Bank in Goleta, California, for 25 years, ending his professional endeavors in 2015.

In his spare time, golf and fishing were his favorite activities.

Door-to-Door Seafood

FISHERME NOW DELIVERN IN FRESH FISH G

BY MATT KE

ike farmers, restaurateurs, brewers,

and winemakers, fishermen who rely on selling direct to consumers and restaurants are reinventing their business models during the COVID-19 outbreak. Door-to-door delivery is the current answer, so now residents of Santa Barbara County can order fresh shrimp, halibut, black cod, and so much more to be dropped off at their homes. In addition to Get Hooked, an existing seafood service that is also currently delivering via GetHookedSea food.com, the fishermen themselves are now driving their catch to you.

Stephanie Mutz, the well-known urchin diver behind Sea Stephanie Fish, is spearheading the effort. She answered a few of my questions about the service this week.

from Travis Meyer, abalone from the Cultured Abalone, ridgeback shrimp from Jeff Hepp, Hope Ranch mussels from Bernard Friedman, oysters from Morro Bay Oyster Co., and crab from Garrett Rose.

There are many S.B. commercial fishermen who are now direct marketing.

We are fishing and selling to each other to sell to people sheltering in place.

What types of seafood are being delivered right now? Red and purple sea urchin,

whitefish, halibut, thornyheads whole and gutted, abalone, ridgeback shrimp, Hope Ranch mussels, Morro Bay oysters, whole rock crab and rock crab claws, and spot prawns (very limited).

We are also offering farm produce boxes from local farmers to help get their products off the farms and into homes. We are more of a one-stop shop, and we don’t increase farmers’ prices. If you want a farm box from Santa Ynez Valley and seafood, you can get both.

Since most restaurants are shut down or takeout only, it took away 80 percent of our business. Even sea urchin processors and many fish buyers are shut down and not buying seafood.

Takeout & Delivery Guide Keeps Growing

O

n Sunday, I launched a new version of

SantaBarbara.com’s takeout and delivery guide in my continuing response to help restaurants stay in business during the COVID-19 outbreak.

All of the entries now have photos, an address, a phone number, an explanation of the cuisine, and the current menu options. The details are also now hidden until you tap a restaurant’s name, which reduces the scrolling by 90 percent.

I will continue to update the guide as new information arrives in my inbox. Email info@ santabarbara.com to get your restaurant on the list.

Here are some of the most recent additions. See SantaBarbara.com/dining for the complete guide, which now features 200 restaurants.

laundered clothes, practice social distancing, wash hands every 20 minutes or so, wear masks, and not eat while packing. No one is allowed nearby with any potential symptoms. Delivery drivers must stay six feet away from anyone and not touch doors.

They also have advice for handling produce safely at home during this time. “One person should handle the box, take the items out in the sink, and then put the box outside or somewhere it can be stored,” said Coffman. “Then wash hands and wash produce.”

The women have never taken a salary from their business, said Beaumont, instead paying themselves weekly in fresh food over the past decade. “It’s always been about food for us, and we will continue to maintain the same value,” said Beaumont. “Our pricing guideline is to make enough for us to be sustainable as a company.”

Neither of them ever predicted their grassroots business might become such a critical cog in Santa Barbara’s food pipeline.

“Honestly, I never really imagined a crisis playing out like this,” said Coffman. “I know how important access to local healthy food is, and I see us being a bigger part in delivering the message of supporting your local community.”

“We hope to deliver hope,” said Beaumont.

“Because we all need it.”

WHAT TO READ DURING

NATIONAL POETRY MONTH Each spring, former Santa Barbara poet laureate and current Santa Barbara Independent book reviewer David Starkey takes on the daunting task of reading and reviewing 30 books of poems—one for each day of April, National Poetry Month. Below are a few results of his endeavor in no particular order.

Tina Chang, Hybrida. “My nation speaks stories into my mouth as if they were mine,” laments the Poet Laureate of Brooklyn. “Are they document, aftermath? The news a clouded fever.” In this multifaceted collection, the story that ultimately matters most to the poet is that of her mixed-race son. “Everywhere I look I see him,” Chang writes. “I have a right to fear for him.”

Frank Ormsby, The Rain Barrel. Like Seamus Heaney, Frank Ormsby writes lovingly of rural Irish life. If Ormsby’s poems don’t quite sizzle with the same linguistic energy as Heaney’s —no one’s poems do—they are nevertheless finely

tuned to the sound of the rain barrel on the farm, the last leaf in the garden: “If you slow down first, I shall slow down with you.”

Norma Elia Cantú, Meditación Fronteriza: Poems of Love, Life, and Labor. Cantú’s book of poems in English and Spanish honors those whose lives are often ignored: immigrants, workers, middle-school students, and the very old. Cantú also writes a mean simile: “En la frontera, in Laredo, / the sun is setting, gigantic / as an Olmec head.”

Matthew Thorburn, The Grace of Distance. There is much to recommend this well-crafted collection, but it would be worth owning if only for “This Is What the City Smells Like?” surely one of the great olfactory poems ever written: “Let us sniff / mozzarepas, disco fries, decades of spilled beer / behind the piano at the Vanguard and the ghost / of cigarette smoke in all the bars you can / no longer smoke in.”

—David Starkey

VISITING MUSEUMS

FROM HOME

Art allows us to lose ourselves and find ourselves all at once, to paraphrase 20th-century Trappist monk Thomas Merton, and strolling through a gallery or museum and absorbing the images on view affords that in spades. Although COVID-19 has halted all in-person exhibition tours, that doesn’t mean you can’t get your art fix virtually, as heaps of establishments from around the globe offer digital access to their collections.

For a particularly immersive experience, check out the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 360° Project (metmuseum.org/art/online-features/ met-360-project) — a series of six two-minute videos that give stunning visual access to Met sites such as the Cloisters, the Temple of Dendur, and its Arms and Armor galleries.

Paris’s Musée D’Orsay, housed in a former railway station, has an interactive floor plan that allows you to click on a floor and section to see what art is exhibited there. Take a peek at paintings by Impressionists such as Monet and Pissarro, sculptures, and even doors and chairs. See museeorsay.fr/en/visit/welcome.

If music photography is more your bag, check out Morrison Hotel Gallery’s online exhibits such as Sir: A Retrospective of Rock Royalty, which chronicles Elton John’s musical life in pictures and opens virtually April 2. Also, tune into to their Behind the Lens series, which streams interviews with famous shutterbugs, including Danny Clinch, Mick Rock, and Lynn Goldsmith. See morrisonhotelgallery.com.

Closer to home, the Wildling Museum has made it possible to experience their exhibits online, including Starry Nights: Visions of the Night Sky, which features telescope images captured by Goleta’s Las Cumbres Observatory, nocturne paintings by early California artists such as Fernand Lungren and Lockwood de Forest, night-sky photography by Marc Muench, and more.

REWATCHING CLASSIC GAMES IN THE NO-SPORTS ERA Plus, Video Game Suggestions and Youth Sports on Hold DANIEL DREIFUSS

B

efore the global COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting isolation, many of us relied on the world of sports as a healthy distraction from the pressures of life. Over the past month, as all communal activities slowed before grinding to a complete halt, we have lost some of America’s most cherished pastimes.

From the NCAA tournament brackets that were never filled to the all-out effort and out-of-body performances by the college players that can only be conjured in desperation, to the miraculous finishes that are too extraordinary for Hollywood script—when it comes to missing March Madness, absence is only making my heart grow fonder. We can only hope that the moments we’ve lost help us cherish the moments we’ve had and will most definitely have again.

With every cancellation and postponement on the sports calendar, we drift further away from the world we once knew. For my family, a baseball family, Opening Day is a milestone that we look fondly toward. Not just because it marks the return of a game we love, but because of what it represents: a new beginning, presenting 162 more chances to fail miserably or succeed beyond our most optimistic expectations.

Opening Day is the unofficial start of spring for millions of Americans, but that day came and went on Thursday, March 26, and every stadium was empty. Not a single pitch was thrown nor Dodger dog consumed. I found myself wondering what to do in this endless winter.

CLASSIC GAMES: In this era of streaming services, YouTube

is a treasure trove of classic games. Long gone are the days of waiting on ESPN to replay your favorite legendary performances. A variety of championship games and memorable matchups are a simple search away. Here are some games that will resonate with Southern California sports fans that are currently available to watch.

• Lakers vs. Celtics, Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals: A must-watch for anyone missing the purple and gold during the NBA’s current hiatus. Kobe Bryant’s fifth and final championship is in the balance as the Lakers claw back from a double-digit deficit in the second half. Clutch shots, unlikely heroes, and the two most storied franchises in NBA history battling it out in a revival of the 1980s rivalry.

• UCLA vs. Gonzaga, Sweet 16 of 2006 NCAA Championships: One of the most unlikely comebacks in UCLA’s storied history. The Bruins were stacked with future NBA talent — including Arron Afflalo, Jordan Farmar, Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, Darren Collison, and Ryan Hollins —but trailed Gonzaga and the nation’s leading scorer, Adam Morrison, by 17 in the first half and nine with just over three minutes to play before mounting a furious comeback. The final moments epitomize the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.

• USC vs. Texas, 2006 BCS National Championship: Still considered by many to be the greatest college football game ever played. USC boasted two Heisman Trophy winners in Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush and

LITTLE LEAGUE ON HOLD: Youth sports leagues across the country, including Goleta Valley South Little League, whose field is shown here, are postponed due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

a 34-game winning streak. Texas quarterback Vince Young relished the underdog roll and proved to be the best player in the Rose Bowl on that storied night.

• Santa Barbara High Football’s 2019 Season: In addition to these classic games, Santa Barbara High alum Carter Tran compiled a behind-the-scenes look at the football team’s 2019 run to the CIF Championship game. The three videos include the victory over Gahr that broke the 30-year playoff drought, the thrilling finish at Palm Desert, and the semifinal demolition of Palmdale. Find the videos via independent.com/dons2019.

GAMING: There is no shortage of sports simulations for

those looking to fill the void. It also may be a fun way to find healthy competition, considering rec leagues and youth sports are also on hiatus. The EA Sports trio of FIFA 20, Madden NFL 20, and NHL 20 are all solid games. Sony interactive Entertainment released MLB The Show 20 on March 17, and it has received rave reviews.

However, my personal favorite sports game is NBA 2K20, which has Los Angeles Lakers star forward Anthony Davis on the cover. With a realistic career experience and topical story lines, users can blaze their own path to NBA stardom.

In addition, the online feature allows you to play against individuals from around the world and satisfy that competitive itch. Also, for the first time, all 12 WNBA teams, which includes over 140 female players, are in the game and available in play now and season modes.

YOUTH SPORTS UPDATE: Extra one-on-one time in the

back yard has been a boon for my 2-year-old’s athletic

development — his shooting percentage on our little tikes hoop has skyrocketed, and his miniature soccer net finally made it out of the closet. But for more advanced youngsters, who are waiting out the indefinite postponement of the sports leagues and clubs, staying sharp is a completely different challenge, especially within the framework of a team dynamic. Enter virtual sports training.

“We’re working on creative ideas in order to still engage our membership in the downtime,” said Santa Barbara Soccer Club director of coaching Gregory Wilson. “We’re going to be posting 30- to 45-minute workouts three times a week Monday, Wednesday, and Friday that will work on their individual skill sets. So the kids will actually be able to watch the session, conduct the session, and be online via Zoom with their coaches while they’re doing it.”

Santa Barbara Soccer Club has more than 1,000 members, between recreation kids and competitive players, which makes it one of the largest nonprofits in town. If necessity is truly the mother of invention, then we are looking at a virtual revolution at all levels of sports.

Once isolation is lifted, best practices can be identified with regard to individual development from virtual training and how that translates into real-life situations on the field and the team dynamic.

“From a director’s standpoint, I look at this time as being incredibly valuable,” Wilson said. “Whatever their sport of choice is, repetition of technical ability at every age group is critical. If we can create an environment where the players feel ownership of their own development, then they can come out further advanced on the technical side.”

While everyone else might wish they could be better prepared for the nonstop improvisational tests of everyday life, most of you tend to prefer what I call the “naked spontaneity” approach. If you were indeed given the chance to use a teleprompter, you’d probably ignore it. Everything I just said is especially and intensely true for you right now.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): When Nobel Prize–winning Norwe-

gian author Knut Hamsun was 25 years old, a doctor told him that the tuberculosis he had contracted would kill him within three months. But in fact, Hamsun lived 67 more years, ’til the age of 92. I suspect there’s an equally erroneous prophecy or unwarranted expectation impacting your life right now. A certain process or phenomenon that seems to be nearing an end may in fact reinvent or resurrect itself, going on to last for quite some time. I suggest you clear away any misapprehensions you or others might have about it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I invite you to remember what you

were thinking and feeling around your birthday in 2019. Were there specific goals you hoped to accomplish between then and your birthday in 2020? Were there bad old habits you aimed to dissolve and good new habits you proposed to instigate? Was there a lingering wound you aspired to heal or a debilitating memory you longed to conquer? The coming weeks will be an excellent time to take inventory of your progress in projects like those. And if you find that you have achieved less than you had hoped, I trust you will dedicate yourself to playing catch-up in the weeks between now and your birthday. You may be amazed at how much ground you can cover.

reason when I was a kid: I’m allergic to chlorine, and my mom wouldn’t let me take swimming lessons at the local chlorine-treated pool. Since then, the failure to learn is inexcusable, and I’m embarrassed about it. Is there an equivalent phenomenon in your life, my fellow Cancerian? The coming weeks might be an excellent time to meditate on how to correct the problem. Now excuse me while I head out to my solo self-administered swim lesson at Bass Lake, buoyed by the instructions I got from a YouTube video.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Is William Shakespeare the greatest

author who ever lived? French philosopher Voltaire didn’t think so, calling him “an amiable barbarian.”

Russian superstar author Leo Tolstoy claimed the Bard had “a complete absence of aesthetic feeling.” England’s first Poet Laureate, John Dryden, called Shakespeare’s language “scarcely intelligible.” T. E. Lawrence, a k a Lawrence of Arabia, declared the Bard had a second-rate mind. Lord Byron said, “Shakespeare’s name stands too absurdly high and will go down.” His contemporary, the poet and playwright Ben Johnson, asserted that he “never had six lines together without a fault.” I offer these cheeky views to encourage you Leos to enjoy your own idol-toppling and authorityquestioning activities in the coming weeks. You have license to be an irrepressible iconoclast.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo-born Jack Ma is China’s richest

person and one of the world’s most powerful businessmen. He cofounded Alibaba, the Chinese version of Amazon.com. He likes his employees to work hard but also thinks they should cultivate a healthy balance between work and life. In his opinion, they should have sex six times a week, or 312 times a year. Some observers have suggested that’s too much — especially if you labor 12 hours a day, six days a week, as Jack Ma prefers — but it may not be excessive for you Virgos. The coming months could be a very erotic time. But please practice safe sex in every way imaginable.

your most important relationships? How might your life change for the better if you gave them your most potent resourcefulness and panache? The next eight weeks will be a favorable time for you to attend to these matters, Libra. During this fertile time, you will have unprecedented power to reinvigorate togetherness with imaginative innovations. I propose you undertake the following task: Treat your intimate alliances as creative art projects that warrant your supreme ingenuity.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I make mistakes,” confessed author Jean Kerr. “I’ll be the second to admit it.” She was making a joke, contrasting her tepid sense of responsibility with the humbler and more common version of the idiom, which is “I make mistakes; I’ll be the first to admit it.” In the coming weeks, I’ll be fine if you merely match her mild level of apology — just as long as you do indeed acknowledge some culpability in what has gone amiss or awry or off-kilter. One way or another, you need to be involved in atonement and correction — for your own sake.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you have been thinking of adopting

a child or getting pregnant with a new child, the coming weeks will be a favorable time to enter a new phase of rumination about that possibility. If you’ve been dreaming off and on about a big project that could activate your dormant creative powers and captivate your imagination for a long time to come, now would be a perfect moment to get more practical about it.

If you have fantasized about finding a new role that would allow you to express even more of your beauty and intelligence, you have arrived at a fertile phase to move to the next stage of that fantasy.

life for a time of sacred rejuvenation. Here are activities you might try: Recall your favorite events of the past. Reconnect with your roots. Research your genetic heritage. Send prayers to your ancestors, and ask them to converse with you in your dreams. Have fun feeling what it must have been like when you were in your mother’s womb. Get a phone consultation with a pastlife-regression therapist who can help you recover scenes from your previous incarnations. Feel reverence and gratitude for traditions that are still meaningful to you. Reaffirm your core values — the principles that serve as your lodestar. And here’s the number-one task I recommend: Find a place of refuge in your imagination and memories; use your power of visualization to create an inner sanctuary.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Are we just being poetic and fanci-

ful when we say that wonder is a survival skill? Not according to the editors who assembled the collection of essays gathered in a book called Wonder and Other Survival Skills. They propose that a capacity to feel awe and reverence can help us to be vital and vigorous; that an appreciation for marvelous things makes us smart and resilient; that it’s in our selfish interests to develop a humble longing for sublime beauty and an attraction to sacred experiences. The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to dive deep into these healing pleasures, dear Aquarius.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): For decades, the city of Sacramento,

California, suffered from severe floods when the Sacramento and American Rivers overflowed their banks.

Residents authorized a series of measures to prevent these disasters, culminating in the construction of a 59,000-acre floodplain that solved the problem.

According to my analysis, the coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to plan an equally systematic HOMEWORK: It’s a good time to think about transformation.

LEGALS ADMINISTER OF ESTATE NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: MICHAEL M. SCHIEBER Case No.: 20PR00121 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con‑ tingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of MICHAEL M. SCHIEBER A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by: JENNY SCHIEBER in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Barbara THE PETITION for probate requests that: ROBERT RIFKIN be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate.

The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests author‑ ity to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal rep‑ resentative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The Independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objec‑ tion to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 4/30/2020 AT 9:00 a.m. Dept: 5 SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, 1100 Anacapa Street, P.O Box 21107 Santa Barbara, CA 93102 Anacapa Division.
