James Joyce III campaigns with a ‘Wingman’ SB mayoral candidate gathers supporters at Wingman Rodeo

Evacuating Americans stressed as priority Biden administration faces criticism over withdrawal in Afghanistan By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Evacuating Americans remains the top priority in Afghanistan, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken told CBS News Sunday morning while criticism of the withdrawal grows. A CBS News/YouGov poll shows 74% of surveyed Americans feel the withdrawal was handled badly or very badly. And 60% fear terrorism will now increase. At the same time, 63% of those surveyed said they continue to support a withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. U.S. generals, meanwhile, remain satisfied that the evacuations can be successful with the approximately 6,000 American troops now in Kabul, National Security Chief Jack Sullivan told NBC Please see AFGHANISTAN on A4

Mayoral candidate James Joyce III wants the City of Santa Barbara to “break bread,” a goal he thinks is attainable despite wide disparities in wealth among its residents. Sunday, the mayoral hopeful broke chicken strips in a low-key campaign event at Wingman Rodeo at 730 N Milpas Street. “One of the challenges with COVID19 is meeting people where they’re at,” he told the News-Press. “I come here and meet people all the time, and I thought it was a good opportunity to support a neighborhood business.” His campaign strategy is old-school door-knocking and conversations. He rides a bicycle around town with his supporters, weekdays and weekends, chatting with neighbors about the election. His mid-year campaign disclosure statement totaled just $31,000 to fellow candidate Randy Rowse’s $131,000. Campaign Manager Wade Cowper said Mr. Joyce is spending his time with normal people rather than major funding sources. “My focus has always been and will continue to be on engaging with people who don’t normally get involved,” Mr. Joyce said during a question period after his speech. “That means actively outreaching the people for boards and commission opportunities, actively seeking out Please see JOYCE on A2

The Santa Barbara Unified School District is transitioning from at-large to trustee-area elections, per a 2018 board decision, and is considering where to draw the lines. Members of the public can voice their opinions during a hearing in Tuesday’s board meeting, which begins at 5:30 p.m. The meetings are conducted via Zoom at sbunified.zoom.us/j/97692540190. Members who would like to speak on specific items must fill out the following form by noon Tuesday: forms.gle/ J4y6JbBGXUZNTBuq8. Tuesday’s meeting will also be broadcast on YouTube at youtu.be/tW-CLlm5p0. Cooperative Strategies is overseeing the transition to trustee-area elections and will guide a discussion on the process. A well-mapped result would lead to areas that have equal population, are compact and continuous, respect communities of interest, follow man-made and natural features, acknowledge school sites and respect incumbency, if possible. It must follow the Federal Voting Rights Act. There are two public hearings scheduled prior to a draft of the map. There will be additional hearings after Cooperative Strategies presents trusteePlease see SBUSD on A4

Continued from Page A1 people’s input where you know their expertise on specific issues.” Mr. Joyce has a background assisting elected officials, like State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson. He has reported on politicians as a journalist in multiple states prior to his move to Santa Barbara. “A lot of people complain about politics, and they talk about politics with a big P at the federal level, what’s going on with the president,” he said. “But for me, all politics have always been local.” He discussed his ideas for local policy, all stemming around the vision of community he has witnessed in his volunteerism with the Common Table Foundation as well as his business Coffee with a Black Guy. “The issues are varied and vast,” he said. “Housing, homelessness, our business, environmental issues, all of these things are things that are top of mind as I’ve been walking around Santa Barbara, knocking on people’s doors.” He has ideas, and he knows the city council does too. But he is ready to see more plans

GUADALUPE — A Guadalupe Police officer shot an unarmed civilian in the process of pursuing a suspect with an outstanding nobail felony arrest warrant Saturday night. The bystander was pronounced dead at the scene.

The future of business in Santa Barbara is uncertain, but the City should have more conversations with business owners, he said. “We’ve had multiple State Street charrettes … back in 2013 and 2014. We were envisioning a pedestrian walkway on State Street, but it took a global pandemic to get us there,” he said. “There are other ideas that we have been talking about. “We need to be innovative and bold and go ahead and do it because we are in a very pivotal time in our community and in our country.” He formed Coffee with a Black Guy during a tumultuous time in the country, as images and videos of police brutality stirred. His idea was to sit down and offer his perspective. He believes his viewpoint would also be beneficial for the mayor. “Understanding what it’s like to be invisible, to be able to hear but not be heard. And so these are skills and a perspective that I bring to the office that I think are valuable,” he said. He plans to hold virtual gatherings and more opportunities at local favorites like Wingman Rodeo. He posts on social media and online at joyceformayor.com.

The officer was attempting to hit the wanted suspect, located at the intersection of Birch and Obispo streets, and instead struck the civilian in a car in the 100-block of Obispo Street. The deceased has been identified as Juan Luis Olvera-Preciado, 59, of Guadalupe. Guadalupe Police Chief Michael Cash met personally with the Olvera-Preciado family

and offered his condolences and support services. The California Department of Justice is investigating the sequence of events, and few details are publicly available at this time. The Santa Maria Police Department will conduct the administrative investigation.

accomplished. “We’ve had folks come in here, experts in these areas, doing various workshops and having various conversations. We need to go ahead and actually do it, not conversations, actions,” he said. He wants to address the issue of affordable housing by increasing inventory. He likes adaptive reuse, such as converting shopping centers into apartments. “When I talk about the high cost of housing, I don’t speak about that academically. I speak about that personally,” he said, noting an 80% increase in rent over eight years in his current apartment. “That’s unsustainable.” He believes it’s an attainable goal to house Santa Barbara’s current homeless population — but that the City can’t do it alone. “We’re not going to solve that issue by ourselves. The thing that I bring specifically to be able to help solve that problem is the approach of regionality and being able to go out and get state and federal funds to help us solve our problem,” he said. He thinks homelessness should be addressed as a region instead of as municipalities. But he also wants to ensure each homeless person is consulted and given an individualized path.

A day at the beach

Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and the most debilitating balance problems. This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet which will cause the nerves to begin to slowly degenerate due to lack of nutrient flow.

KENNETH SONG / NEWS-PRESS PHOTOS

A sailboat is dragged off to set sail, above, as a kite surfer, below, casts a shadow on the sand at Leadbetter Beach on Friday.

As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels that surround the nerves become diseased they shrivel up which causes the nerves to not receive the nutrients to continue to survive. When these nerves begin to “die” they cause you to have balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling, burning, and many additional symptoms. Santa Barbara, CA - The most common method your doctor will recommend to treat your neuropathy is with prescription drugs that may temporarily reduce your symptoms. These drugs have names such as Gabapentin, Lyrica, Cymbalta, and Neurontin, and are primarily antidepressant or anti-seizure drugs. These drugs may cause you to feel uncomfortable and have a variety of harmful side effects. The main problem is that your doctor has told you to just live with the problem or try the drugs which you don’t like taking because they make you feel uncomfortable. There is now a facility right here in Santa Barbara that offers you new hope without taking those endless drugs with serious side effects. (see the special neuropathy severity consultation at the end of this article).

The treatment that is provided at Santa Barbara Regenerative Health Clinic has three main goals: The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes electronic cell signaling delivering modulating energy wavelengths at both low and middle frequencies. The signaling improves cell-to-cell communication among small nerve fibers. The cell signaling therapy is like watering a tree. The treatment will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper. The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation.

As long as you have not sustained at least 85% nerve damage there is hope!

Charles Sciutto Lac along with Dr. Teri Bilhartz DO at

Delays in Qatar complicate matters AFGHANISTAN

News Sunday. He added that President Joe Biden continues to ask defense officials every day whether they need more troops or other resources. The president has stressed his goal of evacuating all Americans who want to leave Afghanistan. “There will be plenty of time to criticize and second guess when this operation is over,” President Biden said. “But now, I am focused on getting this job done.” Mr. Blinken and Mr. Sullivan talked during interviews with correspondents Major Garrett and Chuck Todd on “Face the Nation” and “Meet the Press” respectively. Mr. Blinken told Mr. Garrett Sunday morning that the U.S. had evacuated about 8,000 people in the previous 24 hours and a total of 30,000 since the effort started in July. “But we’ve seen these wrenching scenes of people crowded at the gates, of people hurt, of people killed. It’s an incredibly volatile situation, and we’re very focused on that,” Mr. Blinken said. He said the State Department remains in contact with U.S. citizens and others and is advising them on the safest way to get

When asked if the Kabul airport would remain open under the supervision of the U.S. military after Aug. 31, Secretary Blinken said, “Our focus is making sure every single day we’re getting as many people out as we can, as fast as we can. That is our focus.” to Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul. In other developments Sunday, a NATO official confirmed that 20 people died near the airport during the chaotic exodus. And Tobias Ellwood, the chair of the defense committee in the British House of Commons, complained that Britain wasn’t included in discussions about the U.S. evacuations. There has been concern about delays in evacuations while a Qatar air base, where U.S. military planes fly to from Kabul, struggles with the high number of evacuees now there. On “Face the Nation,” Secretary Blinken noted the U.S. has secured agreements with two dozen nations on four continents to serve as destinations for the flights, which he predicted would “alleviate some of the bottlenecks that we’ve seen in the system to enable this to flow even more quickly and more effectively.”

For the most part, critics of the withdrawal haven’t questioned the decision to pull U.S. troops out after 20 years. But they are questioning how the withdrawal was carried out. “This was a complete and total surrender and an embarrassing failure,” former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley told Mr. Garrett on “Face the Nation.” ‘This is an unbelievable scenario where literally the Taliban has our Americans held hostage. It’s a scary time,” Ms. Haley said. “And we have to make sure that we are working with our allies who literally won’t trust us at this point and think we’ve lost our minds. We have to figure out a way to get our Americans out and to get our allies out. ... “There are times when you have to negotiate with the devil, but you have to negotiate from a point of strength,” she said. “You don’t do it from a point of weakness. We literally have no leverage right now with the Taliban.”

Ms. Haley called on the Biden administration to extend its Aug. 31 deadline for the evacuations “and make sure that the Taliban knows they’ve got to let people into the airport. We’ve got to get our Americans out.” When asked if the Kabul airport would remain open under the supervision of the U.S. military after Aug. 31, Secretary Blinken said, “Our focus is making sure every single day we’re getting as many people out as we can, as fast as we can. That is our focus.” Ms. Haley, meanwhile, warned about what women and girls would likely face under Taliban rule, including being forbidden to attend schools, being forced into child marriages and being forced to be sex slaves. The information in this story is based on various national media reports, including a transcript of “Face the Nation.”

SB Unified has verified the vaccination status of 84.3% of its staff, and .8% are in progress. A third group, 12.5% of staff have no desire to be vaccinated. The district administers COVID-19 tests weekly to unvaccinated individuals. Last week, SB Unified identified two COVID-19 cases in staff and three cases in students.

CPA is back on stage and back in action. The theater group, which has a rich history of plays in North County, is returning with productions at Allan Hancock

College in Santa Maria and the Solvang Festival Theater. The curtain will rise when PCPA presents Interplay Play Readings Sept. 23-25 at the college’s Severson Theatre. This time around, it’s the “Quack” and “The Humans,” which won the 2016 Tony for best play. PCPA describes the plot

of “The Humans” in a news release: “Breaking with tradition, Erik Blake has brought his Pennsylvania family to celebrate Thanksgiving at his daughter’s apartment in lower Manhattan. As darkness falls outside the ramshackle pre-war duplex, eerie things start to go bump in the night and the heart and

horrors of the Blake clan are exposed.” The play “Quack” is all about — what else? — a doctor. This time, it’s Dr. Irving Baer, who has a daytime talk show to help women lose weight, take control of their weight and pursue their dreams. What could go wrong? (You’ll see.) The new comedy is

written by Eliza Clark. PCPA will go on to present a holiday production of “The Secret Garden, Spring Version,” set for Nov. 11- Dec. 23at the college’s Marian Theatre. PCPA’s Roger DeLaurier will direct the play about young Mary Lennox, who’s sent from British colonial India to a home she

has never known in Yorkshire, England. There she finds a house full of mystery in this musical adaptation of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s novel. The Marian Theatre stage will be the setting for another play, Shakespeare’s “As You Like It,” running Feb. 17-March 6. In Please see PCPA on B4

TLC Fund helps senior dog to heal and thrive By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Kevin, a senior toy poodle, lived at several homes and shelters before he arrived at Santa Barbara Humane. When he arrived at the shelter, he was having trouble walking and was bumping into things. Santa Barbara Humane discovered he was blind from glaucoma. “To give Kevin a pain-free life, surgery was scheduled in the donor-funded medical clinic to remove his eyes. When Kevin was under anesthesia, the medical team discovered that glaucoma wasn’t his only issue,” Santa Barbara Humane reported in a news release. “Kevin’s teeth were in poor condition, so he received a dental cleaning and several infected teeth were removed. Further examination also revealed a cancerous lump on his leg which was removed. “But Kevin’s story isn’t about his pain and suffering. It’s about hope and compassion,” Santa Barbara Humane said. Kevin was adopted. He’s healed and loved. His adopter reports he is gaining confidence and has become a “big sweetheart” who recently began playing with toys and even put his paws in the Santa Ynez River. Kevin, a sweet dog, is loving his adventures. And the community has shown its love for him by its donations, which covered his medical care before his adoption. The money came from Santa Barbara Humane’s TLC Fund, which helps dogs or cats, whether they’re in a home or are waiting for a home. To learn more about the services at Santa Barbara Humane or to donate to help animals like Kevin, visit www.sbhumane.org. Santa Barbara Humane operates campuses in Goleta and Santa Maria. email: dmason@newspress.com

SANTA BARBARA — Long Man Productions will present “Jan and Dean’s Beach Party!” at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 10 at the Lobero Theatre, 33 E. Canon Perdido St. The concert will feature the greatest hits by Jan & Dean and the Beach Boys. Songs will vary from “Barbara Ann” to “The Little Old Lady from Pasadena,” “Good Vibrations,” “I Get Around” and “Fun, Fun, Fun.”

“We’ve performed at the Santa Barbara County Bowl, but never at the Lobero Theatre,” Dean said in a news release. “I’ve read it is the oldest theater in California with a stunningly beautiful interior. “I look forward to seeing everyone at the concert,” the surf music legend said. “It’s going to be a really fun night!” Performers include current and former singers and players from

The Beach Boys, the Brian Wilson Band. “When you look at the history of surf music, clearly Dick Dale paved the way and The Beach Boys made it a nationwide phenomenon, but it was Jan & Dean that ignited the torch when they released ‘Surf City,’ and it bolted to No. 1,” Erik Long, the show’s producer, said. “It is a great honor to produce a concert for the

torchbearers.” Tickets cost $52 and $62. To purchase, go to lobero.org. Those attending the concert are required to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours before the concert. This is required of everyone, including children 12 and younger. — Dave Mason

Go ahead and poke him in the belly!

s I have despaired of before, I am often asked to appraise dolls — and, of course, they don’t agree with me. I had a scary doll experience at five years of age, which you do not want to know about. But H.G. sent me rather an interesting doll, a little Pillsbury Doughboy, and wonders what it’s worth. What it is worth is tied up with our country’s creation of advertising icons, back in the 1960s. The toy’s original name was Jonathan Pillsbury, aka “Fresh,” or aka “Poppin” — and he goes by the phrase “say hello to Poppin Fresh!” Then, of course, he gets poked in the belly and has that strange haunting laugh. Poppin Fresh has a birthday: Nov. 7, 1965. How did this happen? Back in the 1960s Rudy Perz, head of Leo Burnett Chicago (a great ad agency), was given the charge. Find a lovable icon for our clients, who were the major commercial firm of Pillsbury .... and Rudy began to ponder, “What shall I create?” And sitting in this kitchen, with his young daughter, in the suburbs of Chicago, holding one of those cylindrical tubes of Pillsbury dough, he did create an idea, which turned out to be remarkable for its sweetness and simplicity. The rest was history. An

American advertising icon was engendered, that little fat blue eyed marshmallow of a creature. The Pillsbury Doughboy was born. From 1965 to 2005, Pillsbury used this doughboy icon in all their ads, and the image of this little icon was so BIG that “Poppin Fresh: had dinner in other commercials with other icons, such as the Jolly Green Giant, the Morton Salt Girl, the Vlasic Stork and Count Cholula — in more than 600 commercials, in fact, which ran hundreds of times. And previous to that, he was an icon for American Kids, who wrote fan mail to him in the 1960s. At least 200 letters were received addressed to “Poppin Fresh” a day. Not to mention that his image, white and spectral, blown up HUGE, had floated for years over the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. Famous magazines, when they did not see “Poppin Fresh” float over that parade later than the date of 2014, said he had died of a yeast infection. The geniuses who created him, “made” him in stop motion clay animation in the 1960s, crafted by George Pul. His image was designed by Milt Schaffer, and his voice was by Paul Frees. Geico picked up the loveable image for their commercials in 2009-2017, after the Doughboy was retired from Pillsbury, and I would be remiss in mentioning that so did Hollywood in the original “Ghostbusters” movie. We will call that appearance in that movie the “shadow side” of “Poppin Fresh,” shall we? So successful was the little Doughboy that in the 1970s, a toy figural family was unveiled around the little guy, created by Pillsbury’s ad agency, and the names are hilarious. Poppie Fresh was his wife, or girlfriend, or sister (how pristine!), depending on if you believe the Doughboy was “married.” Then of course, he had loveable grandparents, named Grandpopper and Grandmommer. If the marriage — in the public’s mind — had “legs,” there were two babies, somehow, Baby Popper and Bun-Bun. If Poppin Fresh had a wife and kids, he must, by rights, in the 1970s, have had a family dog and a cat. The new additions were Flapjack the dog and Biscuit the cat. Every family has an irritating uncle, so, enter stage right, was Uncle Rolle. Yes, all of these toy figures today have a fan base, and all of these have value.

The Pillsbury Doughboy has a rich history.

But I would suggest to H.G. that he hangs onto his Pillsbury Doughboy, because since his “creation” in 1965, he has grown more and more iconic. The Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago premiered an exhibit, “A Salute to Advertising’s Great Icons,” which featured Tony the Tiger, the Jolly Green Giant, Morris the Cat, Mr. Clean and Ronald McDonald. And of course, the headliner was the Pillsbury Doughboy. And the exhibit also honored his creator, Rudy Perz, who had died a month before the exhibit. What a company to be

Codeword is a fun game with simple rules, and a great way to test your knowledge of the English language. Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

Longoria to end longtime career as winery owner By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Rick Longoria didn’t get into the wine business with dreams of owning a winery. What he sought was to create the perfect balance of flavors and sensations inside a delicate glass. Nearly five decades later, Mr. Longoria has never stopped trying, never forgetting the moment when he first experienced that symmetry inside a few ounces of Cabernet Sauvignon, according to a press release. It’s an experience he has recreated for thousands of others, most recently from within the Santa Barbara County winery he and his wife founded in 1982. “When people taste my wines and tell me, ‘They’re so well balanced,’ that makes me happy,” Mr. Longoria said in a news release. His life, in wine and outside of it, has been marked by seeking balance. While he’s not ready to leave his beloved industry altogether, he is ready to step back and enjoy his three grandchildren, explore more cycling trails, seek a vintage bike to add to his collection, up his guitar skills, and pursue the perfect photograph. The Longoria brand, winery, tasting room, equipment and inventory are now being offered as a package for $1.995 million. The Longoria winery and tasting room are in Lompoc, a short distance from the cooling influence of the ocean and to the vaunted Sta. Rita Hills AVA. Its proximity to the shore means comfortable temperatures yearround, a lure for would-be wine aficionadas seeking to escape the summer heat. The tasting room, originally a farmhouse built in 1913, later a club for a local mining operation, and lovingly remodeled by the Longorias to comfortably welcome

He’s willing to stay on as a consultant to the new buyers, who he hopes will enjoy the immersive journey as much as he has.

The Santa Barbara County wine industry is still relatively young but has become what some consider to be the most dynamic region for wine in California today.

journey of highway and heart. It’s directed by Robert Ramirez. PCPA goes back to Marian Theatre for the fairytale musical “Into the Woods,” April 28 - May 15. The same play will be performed under the stars next summer, Aug. 11 - Sept. 4 to be precise, at the Solvang Festival Theater. The musical takes a new look at old fairy tales, and as you watch, you discover everything’s not so black and white as the Baker and his wife cross paths with various fairy tale characters. The script and score are by

James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim, and the PCPA production is directed by Roger DeLaurier. PCPA will perform “The Agitators” June 23-July 10 at the Severson Theatre. The play is about young abolitionists Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony, who meet in the 1840s in Rochester, N.Y. But their movements collide, and their friendship is tested. The play is directed by Mark Booher. From June 30 through July 31, you’ll know the hills are alive with the sound of music. PCPA will perform Rodgers

and Hammerstein’s “The Sound of Music’ at the Marian Theatre. Kitty Balay directs the production about Maria, who proves to be too high-spirited for her convent. She’s sent to be a governess for the seven children of a widowed naval captain, but it’s not too long before she gets the kids singing and thinking about their “Favorite Things.” And the season will wrap up next summer with “Native Gardens” playing from Aug. 25, 2022, to Sept. 3, 2022, in the Marian Theatre, then from Sept. 9, 2022, to Sept. 17, 2022, at the Solvang Festival Theater.

learned the intimate qualities of terroir, taking advantage of microclimates and choosing from an ever-growing and exciting offering of grape varietals. “I believe I’m making the best wines I’ve ever made right now… the quality of grapes has just improved so much,” Mr. Longoria said. “The Lompoc area has a really cool climate with highquality grapes so the wines you’ll taste tend to be very high quality.” Two groups of buyers may especially appreciate the package Mr. Longoria is offering. One set of buyers may be part of larger operations that don’t yet have a presence in the highly desirable region, according to the press release. They may want to take advantage of the loyal following Mr. Longoria has built over the decades — many of his wine club members, for example, have been in the fold for 20 years, and he delivers wines to restaurants in the San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, along with ones in Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. Other potential buyers may be individuals who, like he and his wife Diana, wanted to follow a passion into a career and were drawn to the artisanal nature of creating wine in small, careful batches. Though Mr. Longoria has been reducing production to prepare for the transition, the site in its current form is capable of producing approximately 3,000 to 3,500 cases per year, with ample room for expansion.
