Dr. David Fisk, the medical director of infectious prevention and control at Cottage Health, said he’s hopeful that there will be a COVID-19 vaccine by August of next year.

COVID-19, and progress is being made in curbing its spread, according to two leading Santa Barbara County health officials.

Locally, cases have started to decline, even in hot spots such as Santa Maria.

The bad news is there’s no quick end ahead for the pandemic and a vaccine likely won’t be ready until sometime next year, the physicians told the News-Press during extensive interviews last week.

And in a world where COVID-19 remains a mystery, the doctors presented a mix of similar and different views on the pandemic’s past, present and future.

The two physicians conceded they can’t predict when life will get back to normal, but noted signs of hope.

One of them — Dr. Henning Ansorg, the county health officer — started the interview with words of optimism.

“I think Santa Barbara County is definitely on the right path, trending downward,” the Public Health Department official said.

“We’re not where we want to be, but we’re going in the right direction.”

In fact, he noted, it wouldn’t take much for cases to decrease to the point that indoor movie

theaters and restaurants’ indoor dining could reopen with a cap of 25% capacity. He added that decrease also would mean reopening public schools for inperson learning.

For the changes to take effect, Santa Barbara County, which is among the 38 counties in the purple or worst tier for widespread cases, would have to move into the red tier for “substantial” cases. The county will find out Tuesday if it qualifies.

Dr. Ansorg explained that to move into the red tier, the county must see its current daily average of nine cases per every 100,000 people fall to seven per every 100,000.

“We’re not that far (from the red tier),” he said. “I urge everyone to stay the course, postpone get-togethers and parties and do (socializing) online.”

Dr. Ansorg praised the tier system, which the state announced in August, as a scientific, gradual and safe way to reopen businesses and schools and a better alternative to the mass reopenings earlier this summer. Afterward, there was an increase in the number of cases.

“It would have been better

Ms. Antil, who has served in her current role with the city since August 2015, has emerged as the top candidate in Encinitas’ nationwide search to replace its previous City Manager, Karen Brust, who retired in June after nearly five years with the city.

On Wednesday, the Encinitas City Council will consider appointing Ms. Antil as its next city manager, according to a news release from the San Diego County city.

Ms. Antil has more than 25 years of experience directly managing and advising local government agencies throughout the country.

This includes work in Santa Barbara, San Jose, Palo Alto, and Ann Arbor, Mich.

She founded the Municipal Managers group on LinkedIn in 2017, which has more than 12,000 members. She also founded the League of Women in Government in 2015, which supports the advancement of women in local government.

She also has worked with nonprofits and in the private sector, including serving as a consulting manager for Grant Thornton LLP, the fifth largest public accounting and management consulting firm in the U.S. She is an active member of the International City/County Management Association, Alliance for Innovation, Municipal Management Assistants of Northern & Southern California, BJA Executive Session on Police Leadership, Emerging Local Government Leaders, as well as vice president for Women Leading Government CA and president of the League of Women in Government.

Administration degree from Cal State Long Beach.

She has published a number of articles and papers in recent years, covering topics such as: advancing women in local government; the future of policing in the United States; business networking; innovation and design thinking; post-merger/ operational due diligence in the private sector; and use of social media by local government.

If approved, she would begin her new role on Oct. 12.

“I am delighted to be selected as the next City Manager in service to the Encinitas community,” Ms. Anti said in a statement. “The City Council’s plans for the future are ambitious and exciting. I’m eager to roll up my sleeves and get going.”

The city manager position reports directly to the Encinitas City Council. The manager is responsible for the overall administration of city business, including providing executive leadership, direction, review and coordination of all city departments and operations.

“We’re really excited to have Pam join our team,” Encinitas Mayor Catherine Blakespear said in a statement. “Her experience in the city managers’ offices in Santa Barbara and Palo Alto, as well as other cities, gives her a depth of knowledge that will be invaluable here in Encinitas.” email: mwhite@newspress.com

Lucky’s Steakhouse expanding to Malibu

“Unfortunately, the state allowed everything to reopen at once.”

For more than 20 years, Lucky’s Steakhouse has provided a luxurious dining experience to the people of Montecito.

Later this month, the classic American steakhouse will be opening its second location and delivering the same experience, this time in Malibu at the Malibu Country Mart.

“This is very exciting to us,” Gene Montesano, co-founder of Lucky’s Steakhouse, told the News-Press.

“Especially to be doing it in Malibu. It’s like Montecito, so we expect to do well and be a good dining room (for the) locals like we are here, so this is very exciting.”

Like Montecito, Malibu is nestled in the heart of Los Angeles County in between both beautiful mountain terrain and the ocean.

The Malibu Country Mart is also praised for being California’s premier location for shopping, dining, and relaxing. Lucky’s is hoping to fit right in.

“It’s very similar and very laid back like Montecito and that is the type of steakhouse we are and it keeps with what we think of the brand,” Mr. Montesano said when asked why he wanted to expand to a new location.

Lucky’s second location will open in the next few weeks.

The exact date is not set in stone because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Mr. Montesano said they still aren’t sure if they will even be able to operate indoors at a limited capacity.

“It really will be more of a soft opening,” Mr. Montesano said, adding that they likely have a few small dinners before then to make sure everything runs smoothly.

OBITUARIES

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2020 Obituaries continues on page A-9

JOHNSON, Donald Barton

Donald Barton Johnson of Santa Barbara peacefully passed away on August 25, 2020 at the age of 87. A long-time resident of Santa Barbara, he was Professor Emeritus of the Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Don specialized in linguistics and literary studies, and studied the works of Russian writers Vladimir Nabokov and Sasha Sokolov, authoring several books including Worlds in Regression: Some Novels of Vladimir Nabokov (1985). He founded the journal Nabokov Studies, which now annually awards the Donald Barton Johnson prize for its best essay. Don had an abiding love of wilderness and was an accomplished naturalist. He was born on June 15, 1933 in Indianapolis, IN and is preceded in death by his parents (Waylon Eugene and Mary Barton Johnson). He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Sheila Golburgh Johnson, his step-daughter, Jessica Dora, his step-son Aaron Moody (Rebecca Vidra), and three great-granddaughters (Lili, Chloe, and Véla).

CORNISH, Barbara Joan (Pliha) August 10, 1936 – August 20, 2020

Barbara was born in the Bronx, NY to Joseph Pliha and Elsie (Ulrich) Pliha. In 1944, her brother Don was born.

She attended Oceanside High School. When she was 16, her family moved to California. She then attended University High School and then UCLA. At UCLA, she met Bill Cornish. They were married in 1955 and went on to have Janet, Mark and Rick. In 1966, Barbara went to Cal State Long Beach to finish her teaching degree. She taught at Fountain Valley until we moved to Goleta.

ROMEO, Marilyn Marie

Marilyn Marie Romeo was born October 9, 1946 in Baldwin Park, California to Umbert and Ann Romeo.

She was the youngest of three children, following Jordan and Richard. The family later moved to Santa Barbara and she started second grade at San Roque Elementary School. She later attended La Colina Junior High and San Marco High School, graduating in 1964. During most of Marilyn’s childhood, her parents owned and operated Romeo’s Little Dinner House on De La Vina Street, where she would sometimes visit with the customers during the dinner hour. After graduating high school, she went into insurance and made it her career, finishing with Sansum Clinic in Santa Barbara. She married Gary Rush, Sr. in 1966 and they later divorced. They had a son, Gary Rush, Jr. and Marilyn raised him in Santa Barbara. During this time her passion for Country-Western dancing came to light.

In the late 1980s Marilyn danced and taught at private events such as The Take One, Galleon Room, Chili Factory, Red Dog Saloon, and Creekside. Marilyn and her friend, Jacquie, with a special group of friends, formed Pacifically Country Dancers in 1988 and they performed at community events, volunteered time to visit and entertain at many rest homes, and competed in local dance events. Pacifically Country debuted in the United Country-Western Dance Council Circuit at the Paradise Country Dance Festival in 1994 and earned first place in the team competition. They also competed in the UCWD World Championship in Texas in 1994 and took fourth place. Later, Marilyn formed an all female dance group called “Got Country” and they were revered in the Country-Western dance world. Marilyn was a major contributor to Country-Western dance in Santa Barbara for nearly forty years. She was admired for her dedication and true love of the art form. She will be greatly missed by her family, friends, students, musicians, DJ’s, and dance associates. She was a talented, kind-hearted, and thoughtful lady who was loved by many. Now she has her wings.

Marilyn is survived by her son, Gary Rush, Jr. She was preceded in death by her parents, Umbert and Ann Romeo, and her older brother, Richard.

In 1968, Barbara got a teaching job at La Patera School.

She taught there, then went to Isla Vista School and finally Mountain View School to teach Gate. At Isla Vista, she was a master teacher to many student teachers.

Community Service was important to Barbara. She belonged to the Children’s Creative Project, Stow House Ladies League, Goleta Valley Historical Society, the Santa Barbara Teachers’ Federal Credit Union, Institute for American Research at Goleta Depot, the Goleta Valley Old-Time Spelldown and Delta Kappa Gamma. Many times she was elected to be President or asked to serve on the Board.

Barbara and Bill were lucky to be able to travel before they had health concerns.

They loved Mendocino, Kauai, and Switzerland. They traveled all over Europe, China, Australia and New Zealand. For their 50th anniversary, they took a cruise to Tahiti.

Barbara was preceded in death by her husband Bill, her son Rick, and her parents.

Surviving her are her daughter, Janet, her son Mark, her brother Don (Rita), her grandson Cody (Rick’s son) and Cody’s mom Gina Bevilacqua Short.

Thanks to Lorraine Vander Ark and Sue Palmer for their countless visits with my mother through the good times and bad. You are angels!

There are no plans for a memorial service, but donations can be made to ASAP Cats in her name.

BRUNNENKANT, Jean Bellinger

Jean Bellinger Brunnenkant peacefully passed away on August 6, 2020 in Overland Park, Kansas, nearly completing her 104th year and still possessing her same pleasant demeanor that inspired the fondness of others.

Her independence, enthusiasm and creativity carried her through an influential teaching career and the many new chapters she opened in her lifetime.

Jean was born in Plainwell, Michigan on August 30, 1916. Her parents soon relocated to Southern California, where Jean graduated from South Pasadena High School. Among her numerous activities, Jean found an early love of dance and never stopped. She performed in school productions and with area ensembles in musicals, opera and special events at locations such as The Pasadena Playhouse and Tournament of Roses Parade. This was a cultural period of artistic inventiveness, including the founding of Modern Dance

by Isadora Duncan, and it greatly influenced Jean’s pursuit of dance instruction and physical education as a career.

She entered Occidental College where she enjoyed sports and joined the famed Glee Club, attended summer sessions at University of Southern California, and completed her Bachelor of Education at University of California Los Angeles. She pledged Alpha Chi Omega at UCLA where she met Phi Gamma Delta, Dickson Brunnenkant, with whom she would reconnect and marry 16 years later.

After teaching at Santa Ana High School, Jean filled a position at Stanford University while a professor went into the war effort. Jean went on to earn her Master’s Degree from New York University. During summer breaks, she taught at The Chautauqua Institute in southwest New York and had the opportunity to take Master Classes from distinguished guest instructor, Martha Graham.

Throughout all of these years, she gathered knowledge of not only modern dance, but folk and ballroom dances from around the world. She spent sabbatical leave attending Connecticut College School of the Dance in New London, participating in their first American Dance Festival, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Department of Dramatic Art. In 1945, Jean began her most memorable career experience as a professor of physical education and dance at University of California Santa Barbara. She was among a faculty dedicated to dance and she was thrilled to convey her love and perspective of the art. Most important to her was being an encouraging influence for her students.

One of her students, who remained a friend, Harriett Beu Hankins, remembers, “Professor Jean Bellinger became my role model. She was inspiring with her calm, organized manner and understanding of her students. She was everything I ever hoped to be. Jean glowed with talent and grace. I learned the skill of ‘organization’ from her which I have used my entire life. She taught me how to TEACH!” While in Santa Barbara, Jean lived on the Riviera and also with her parents in Hope Ranch, where they would ride along bridal paths, enjoy the ocean and their gardens, and spend social times at Montecito Country Club. After a decade, Jean left her university position for marriage and Manhattan Beach. She had two daughters while continuing to teach at Santa Monica High School and Inglewood High School.

BUTTS, John H., Jr. 2/21/1939 – 8/19/2020

John Humphrey Butts, Jr. died peacefully at his home in Atascadero, CA on August 19, 2020 with his wife at his side after a courageous battle with cancer.

The eldest child of Joyce (nee Hodgeman) and John Humphrey Butts, John was born February 21, 1939 in Wichita, KS, into a highly respected and successful family. In 1958, John graduated from the college preparatory school, Kent, in Kent, CT where he made lifelong friendships. John enjoyed recalling his prep school football days and was pleased when he was recognized in the Kent Sports Hall of Fame. After graduation, John attended the University of Arizona in Tucson.

John served in the Army in artillery and was stationed in Baudenhausen, Germany before returning home to Santa Barbara where he joined his father in the automobile business at Butts Motors on State Street. The Butts building was a landmark at State Street and Highway 101 for many years.

John was a gifted chef and always an attentive host putting together wonderful dinners for family and friends.

John was an avid outdoorsman with a passion for fly fishing. Some of his favorite memories were fly fishing with his father at their ranch in Meeker, Colorado. From bass fishing in farm ponds and reservoirs to fly fishing streams in Wyoming, Colorado, Montana and Idaho for rainbow and brown trout, this is where he was happiest. John was always a “catch and release” fisherman. One of his favorite stories was teaching his wife, Loretta, to fly fish and watching her catch her first fish on a fly on Wilson Creek in Wyoming.

As a lifelong student of history, he had an extensive knowledge of World War II as well as other military and historical events that shaped our country and culture. His library is legendary. He was an avid collector of prints featuring military aircraft on which he would vigorously pursue the signature of the pilots that flew them. He also built more than 100 models representing most of the military aircraft flown through the mid-20th century along with naval ships and vehicles.

John was married to Loretta Rose (nee Rodriguez) on October 7, 1994 in Ojai, CA. A place that held special meaning to her. He planned the entire event and kept her in the dark until they arrived at the Ojai Valley Inn and Spa. They celebrated 25 years of marriage just prior to John’s diagnosis and he shared his regret that they did not have more time together although they had been friends for more than 40 years.

He is predeceased by his parents, brother Randy, sister Tracy, and daughter Melissa.

John leaves his wife, Loretta, daughter Elizabeth Lewis (Don) of Orinda, CA, halfsister Kelsey Desmond (Dan) of Mobjack, VA, half-brother Phil Butts and step-mother Cathy Rogers of Carpinteria, CA. John and Loretta’s blended family brought him an even larger family that included his step-children Jeff Wilson (Diane) of San Carlos, CA, John Wilson of Santa Rosa, CA and Dyan Blozan (Nick) of San Jose, CA. and a total of 14 grandchildren between them. Grandchildren Andrew, Haley, and Lindsey Lewis and Dana Stern. Although John and Loretta had a blended family, Papa John always thought of step-grandchildren Emily, Grant, John T and Andrew Wilson, Logan, Lane and Joe Wilson and Jake, Zach and Jack Blozan as his own. John also enjoyed the company and repartee with his mother-in-law, Loretta F. “Nan” Beatty.

As was his wish, no funeral or memorial service will be conducted at this time. Those wishing to honor John’s memory may consider a contribution to the Estrella Warbirds Museum, www.EWarbirds.org/museum/donations, the American Cancer Society or to a charity of their choice.

John H Butts, Jr., a life well lived. He is so deeply loved and so greatly missed.

VALENCIA, Rachel Tafoya

Rachel Tafoya Valencia, age 86 passed away at 3:15 am on Sunday, August 16, 2020. Her large and loving family was by her side at Serenity House in the Santa Barbara foothills. Rachel was the youngest of 6 children and the last of her generation who raised nearly 50 cousins to carry on the Tafoya family name.

Eventually, Dickson was transferred with the headquarters of Interstate Brands Corporation to Kansas City. Jean retired from teaching and they moved to Leawood, Kansas where she became involved in parenting activities and ensured that her daughters were exposed to the arts, music and sports. She was a welcoming hostess, putting together last minute dinner parties, gathering neighbors for backyard socials and creating celebrations for any occasion. Her Christmas decorations were fantastic.

Rachel was born September 22, 1933 in Ensenada, Mexico to Paulina Martinez and Reydecel Bustillos (RB) Tafoya. She was preceded in death by her mother (1961), father (1968), brothers Ray and Fred, and sisters Maggie, Eleanor and Esther. Rachel was a long-time Dodger fan, an accomplished pianist and a tireless community volunteer culminating in being selected ABWA Woman of the Year.

Jean unexpectedly lost Dickson to cancer while their children were in elementary and junior high schools but her strength and optimism continued to shine through.

She enjoyed a network of friends in her community and contributed her time to local organizations. Jean was an active volunteer, committee chair and officer over her 25 years of membership in The Vanderslice Committee of the Kansas City Art Institute.

She continued her pursuit of athletics and tried all the newest fitness crazes while keeping up with her swimming and tennis at Leawood Country Club and KC Racquet Club. She joined dance clubs to perfect her waltz, swing, cha cha and tango, and entered ballroom competitions including the Heart of America Championship.

Married to Joe H. Valencia for 63 years until his passing in 2016, Rachel and Joe had five children: JoAnne Valencia Jones (Larry), Joe, Jim, Jean Valencia McCauley (Reed), and Jerry Valencia (Nui), seven grandchildren (Jennifer, Julia and Jillian Jones; Ryan and Nick Valencia; and Taylor and Trent McCauley) and nine great-grandchildren (Jackson and Jacob Proffitt; Asher, Piper and Brier Moegelin; and Logan, Sonora, Dakota and Hannah Cobble).

During this time, Jean discovered racewalking by chance through Alan Poisner MD and the Heartland Racewalkers. She traveled the country to enter the biennial National Senior Games, immediately winning her first of many Gold Medals at age 75, which led to a shocking newspaper headline revealing her age! Several of her top-ten performance times still stand as records, especially in the nonagenarian divisions.

Raised in Moorpark, California Rachel played the family’s grand piano at an early age and gave recitals at school, church, to her mother’s friends and for her future husband. She graduated from Moorpark High School and attended Ventura College. In 1982, Rachel received her Associate in Science degree in Quality Technology from Allan Hancock College. She also attended the University of La Verne.

Alan reflects, “Jean was our beloved Queen of the Heartland Racewalkers. She found time to serve her local racewalking club in several leadership positions, as a coach and as an inspiration to all younger walkers which, in her case, was everyone else.

In addition to her athletic accomplishments, her charm, generosity, and good humor are a lasting legacy for all of her walking friends in Kansas and around the country.”

In appreciation, the Heartland Racewalkers nominated Jean as Kansas City Senior Sportswoman of the Year for which she was selected in 2006.

Rachel met Joe at a dance on New Year’s Eve in 1952. They were married in Ventura on January 31, 1953. Residing in Oxnard, California Joe and Rachel had five children before moving to Lompoc in 1965. Rachel’s grand piano wouldn’t fit in their new house, so she traded it in for a Wurlitzer upright continuing to play for her family during holidays and throughout the year. She passed her love of music on to her children who fondly remember her beautiful rendition of Debussy’s Clair de Lune.

Jean will be missed and remembered well as an imaginative and positive force, a self-starter who accomplished projects with perfection, a caring individual who never hesitated to offer assistance or share a kind word and as an upbeat friend who was always great fun.

Jean is survived by her daughters, Karen (Kelly) Gregg and Kristina Ballantyne; nephews Jack (Mary) Seaborne, David Seaborne, Douglas (Marianne) Seaborne and their families; her cousin, Dorothy Bowes Bowen; many friends of which two are part of her longtime, special group, Ellie Asher and Sally Chapline; and wonderful neighbors of The Bordeaux.

Jean was predeceased by her husband, Dickson Brunnenkant; sister and brother-inlaw, Helen and John Seaborne; parents, Ruth and Hart Bellinger; son-in-law, Todd Ballantyne; and her dear friend and travel companion, Thomas Young.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the outstanding ladies of Daughters & Company for their assistance and caring that allowed Jean to remain in her home until recently; and to Care Haven Homes for their unique and exceptional service. All of these people made the difference for everyone involved.

Memorial contributions, if desired, are suggested to feed the community through Harvesters (harvesters.org); to support the Kansas City Art Institute through The Vanderslice Committee (vanderslicecommittee.org); to provide scholarship opportunities through the Patricia Sparrow Dance Award at UC Santa Barbara (theaterdance.ucsb. edu/academics/scholarships-awards); or to fund your favorite charity.

Private services will be held in California where interment will take place at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale. Arrangements provided by Mt. Moriah, Newcomer and Freeman in Kansas City MO (816) 942 2004 Published in The Kansas City Star and Santa Barbara News-Press

Rachel and Joe travelled throughout the United States from Washington State to Washington DC including Mexico, Hawaii and Canada. She accompanied her husband on numerous trips while he was Lompoc mayor, city councilman, and long-time Santa Barbara County Planning Commissioner. She enjoyed yearly vacations with her husband and children to Lake Tahoe and Yosemite, but her greatest joy was time at the ball field watching her children play baseball, softball, wrestling, football and track.

Active in her community, Rachel served as Alpha Club President, Cotillion Club President, Women in Chamber of Commerce President, Senior Center Commissioner and on the Lompoc Hospital Foundation Board. She was a pianist for many years at Lompoc’s First United Methodist Church and longtime member of NARFE (National Association of Retired Federal Employees) and ABWA (American Business Women’s Association).

Rachel worked on Vandenberg AFB over 30 years and retired from civil service as a quality assurance specialist. She began her civil service career as a clerk typist at Port Hueneme in 1953 then transferred to the Pacific Missile Range in Pt. Mugu in 1958. In 1965, Joe and Rachel moved their family of seven to Lompoc. Joe worked at Vandenberg AFB with ITT/FEC and Rachel raised their five children. In 1970 Rachel returned to work at Vandenberg. She worked as a secretary, assistant documentation manager, and supervisor of the typing pool, until being promoted to a non-traditional woman’s position in 1980 as an Air Force Quality Assurance Representative. Her work included the Space Shuttle project for which she attended specialized classes at Kirkland AFB, New Mexico, and Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio. After 32 years, Rachel retired from the federal government in 1994 allowing her to spend more time with her seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

After a full and meaningful life, Rachel will be laid to rest next to her husband Joe at Lompoc Cemetery. Due to COVID restrictions Rachel’s service will be delayed for now, but at a future date a memorial will be held at Lompoc First United Methodist Church with reception immediately following.

MARTER, Karen

Karen Marter, age 80, passed away peacefully August 2020 due to cancer. Karen was a member of the SYV Hiking Group for 16 years. She was also a gourmet cook, a hostess extraordinaire and a gardener with a “bright green thumb.” Dogs have always been her companions from her German Shepherd Campi to her three rescue dogs …. K.C., Gracie and Charlie.

Karen was born in Holland, Michigan; graduated from Lyndonville CHS in 1958; attended Hope College in Holland, Michigan for 2 years and spent 1 fabulous year in Spain at the University of Madrid. She later graduated from NYU with a BA in Spanish. She taught high school in Rochester, NY for a semester. From 1962-1964 Karen served as a member of the Peace Corps in Costa Rica where she gained a new family for the rest of her life. Returning to the USA, she moved to New Mexico and became District Advisor for the GSA. To quote Karen “I not only quit, I escaped” as she enthusiastically told her story. She moved to California and waitressed until she obtained a position as a Spanish teacher at La Colina Jr. High where she worked until retirement in 1995. While there, she was given the Teacher of the Year Award.

In 1986, she married Howard (Toby) Marter and moved to Santa Ynez into the house her loving architect husband designed. Karen is survived by her brother and his wife, John and Peggy and her sister Margaret Banks. Karen has two nieces and four (and counting) great-nieces and nephews. Also surviving Karen are Toby’s two sons, Chris Marter and Michael Marter, who between them have seven children.

There will be no memorial service as per Karen’s wishes. She was a wonderful person who had a zest for life and befriended all she met. The family believes that Karen would have wished any donation be given to an animal shelter in her name.

CASWELL, Patrick Patrick Thomas Caswell passed away peacefully into the arms of Jesus on August 29, 2020, at home surrounded by his family.

Patrick was born on June 11, 1955, in Santa Barbara, CA. He was proud to be an 8th generation Santa Barbara native and loved calling Santa Barbara home. He graduated from San Marcos High School in 1974 where he played water polo and won numerous awards for his artwork. He graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in 1980 with a degree in Business.

Patrick went on to banking and was the Vice President and manager of the Bank of Montecito at the La Cumbre office. It was while he was banking that Patrick met the love of his life, Sandy. Three weeks from the day they met Patrick proposed and six months from the day they met they were married.

Patrick left banking in 1990 and became the owner of Knapp Nursery in Goleta with his wife, Sandy. Patrick loved working outside and with plants. Patrick was a hard worker and it showed in everything he did. Later in life Patrick enjoyed restoring old cars. His favorite was a 1950 Chevy panel truck. He won numerous car shows and was respected for his hard work and attention to detail.

Patrick loved animals, boats, and music, but most of all he loved his family. Anyone who met Patrick knew he was a family man. He was very proud of his family and loved spending time with them.

HARRIS, Jack

Jack Harris, a true American hero, died on March 6th, 2020. He was born August 17th, 1926 and grew up on a ranch in eastern Oregon during the great depression.

He raised “bummer” lambs to help support his family, bottle feeding the rejected animals and selling them back to farmers. He sold newspapers, worked as a busboy; a variety of jobs to get by, and when World War 2 started, he worked in a shipyard in Portland before finally becoming old enough to join the military. He was ready to invade Japan when the atomic bomb ended the war.

The Marine Corps sent him to the University of New Mexico for officer training where he met his 1st wife Peggy. He became the 1st student to graduate directly from flight training into jet school. He joined Marine Fighter Squadron 223 which had the first F9F Panther jets.

He deployed to Korea in 1951 and fought 87 combat missions, was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and 4 Air Medals, and was flying one of those missions when his first son Paul Harris was born. His squadron received the news through the Red Cross and when he landed there was a sign in the ready room saying: IT’S A BOY! Jack came home to the US, qualified as a night fighter, then returned for a second tour of duty in Korea. After the cease fire, Jack served with the British Royal Navy on their carrier-based night fighter sqdn and had over 100 carrier based landings on the HMS “Bulwark.” They sailed around the world with stops in England,Nova Scotia, Africa, the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf, India, Singapore, Hong Kong, the Philippines, etc. His second son Elliot was born while he was away.

Jack was commanding the first amphibious Marine landing in VietNam, flew many missions there, earned another Distinguished Flying Cross and eventually retired as a Lieutenant Colonel.

Upon retiring, he began working at UCSB running the extension program for the University of California, advising special districts throughout California how to manage their government agencies. He took that experience and became successful in his private consulting business.

It was at UCSB that he met Betty Howson, his second wife and expanded his family to include the Howsons: Beth, Paul and Steve. He lived a life of innumerable adventures, but rarely spoke of them. Many of his experiences are known only to God now.

He is survived by many grateful children and grandchildren who are proud to be associated with this extraordinary warrior, patriot and statesman. May he rest in peace.

BAKER, Laura J. Laura J. Baker, loving wife, mother, sister, and aunt passed away Sunday July 19, 2020 after a 27-month struggle with brain cancer.

Laura Jeanne Hoesterey was born October 30, 1961 in Rochester, NY, the youngest of 7 children of Kenneth Julius Hoesterey and Dorothy Barry Hoesterey. The family moved to Orange County, CA in 1966. As a young girl, she discovered her love of performing and singing.

Her beautiful singing voice was a treasure to all who heard her sing. She was a member of the Madrigals choir at Foothill High in Tustin, CA and cherished the memories of her choir’s trip to Europe in the summer of 1978.

Laura knew from an early age that she wanted to be a teacher. While attending Santa Ana College, she volunteered at a school for the deaf and hard of hearing as she participated in its sign language program. That sparked her desire to work with special needs children. She received her Associate of Arts Diploma in 1983, then enrolled at UCSB in the fall where she received a bachelor’s degree in Sociology in 1987. The high point of Laura’s UCSB experience was working in food services in the Olympic Village at UCSB during the 1984 Summer Olympics. Working concurrently on her General Education and Special Education teaching credentials at CSUN, she graduated with honors in 1990. In the fall of 1991, she began her 22-year career as teacher in the Santa Barbara School District.

“Ms. Baker” touched numerous lives throughout her teaching career. She worked tirelessly to help her students reach their full potential, often going to bat for kids who needed more services. Throughout her life, she advocated for parents of special needs children and fought for their due rights. As a Learning Handicaps Specialist, she coauthored with her sister, Karla Rogers, a parent advocacy guide on how to successfully obtain educational services for children with neuro-immune disease.

Health challenges impacted Laura’s life from an early age. Never one to complain or allow such challenges to stop her from reaching her goals, she educated herself about her conditions. She joined the NLN (National Lymphedema Network) and became active in the FDRS (Fat Disorders Research Society) where she served as an officer and was instrumental in organizing their international medical conferences.

Laura enjoyed traveling and had a variety of interests: she loved animals, was a seamstress, an expert cake decorator, taught water aerobics, dabbled in stained glass, and always sang! Despite worsening physical challenges later in life, Laura maintained a positive outlook and was the emotional center of her family.

In her own words, Laura wrote, “I met and bonded with many colleagues, students, and parents during my tenure. Being a good teacher and making a difference in my students’ lives was the most rewarding thing for me besides being a wife and mom. My husband, John, and daughter, Katie, are my world. I love them dearly.”

Preceded in death by her parents and brother, Ron, Laura is survived by her husband of 29 years, John Baker, daughter, Katie Baker, sister Karla Rogers and brothers Dick, Ken, Paul, and Roger Hoesterey. She is sorely missed!

Santa Maria has recently shown marked improvement on COVID front COVID

Continued from Page A1 in the tier system.

And Dr. Ansorg noted a hopeful sign: Santa Maria, the agricultural city that continues to lead the county in the number of cases, recently showed significant improvement.

Dr. Ansorg explained the initial problem. “The reason we have seen more cases in the Santa Maria area is the density of housing. A high percentage of the population lives in really tight quarters, which plays a big role in the transmission.”

Dr. Ansorg credited the recent decline in Santa Maria cases to testing and educating workers and providing masks. He noted hotel rooms have been provided to separate those who have tested positively from others.

Dr. Ansorg praised the collaborations among the county Public Health Department, growers, infectious disease physicians, agricultural workers and Marian Regional Medical Center in Santa Maria.

The county health officer works with hospitals throughout the county, including the Cottage Health sites in Santa Barbara, Goleta and Solvang. Cottage Health’s hospitalization rates have declined during recent weeks, said Dr. David Fisk, the nonprofit’s medical director of infectious prevention and control.

“However, just overnight last night, we had an uptick in hospital admissions and an uptick in positive test rates from the day before,” Dr. Fisk told the NewsPress Monday.

“Is a one-day increase a concern? We don’t know,” said Dr. Fisk, who’s also an infectious disease physician at Sansum Clinic. “But certainly, we are lower than we were a month ago.”

Dr. Fisk cautioned that future reopenings could mean another increase in cases, but conceded that the issue is complicated.

“The need to live our lives:

How do we balance that with the need to keep others safe?” he said. “Those are tough issues, and one community’s answer might be different than another’s, and one individual’s answer might be different than another’s.”

But he praised past measures for flattening the curve and noted that numbers would have been worse if restrictions and social distancing hadn’t happened.

The big question is when a vaccine will become available. Dr. Ansorg said he would like to see one by this spring, and Dr. Fisk said he’s hopeful there will be one

by August of next year, noting the creation of vaccines often takes longer than expected.

Dr. Fisk cautioned that rushing a vaccine could hinder its effectiveness and safety. “The last thing we want is a vaccine that hurts people.”

Dr. Ansorg noted he favors the FDA’s rigorous testing protocols.

Without a vaccine, the weapons against COVID-19 are social distancing, wearing masks and thoroughly washing hands.

Dr. Fisk said the county has done well in all three to the extent “that we’re not seeing a giant tidal wave of disease come crashing down onto our community and leading to hospitals running out of beds and people not being able to get care.

That’s one way to look at it.

“The other way is there are a lot of people who do not wear masks effectively or appropriately and may not wear them or may not cover their noses,” he said.

To be effective, masks should cover the nose and mouth, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“However, we’ve also learned that most of this disease is not transmitted outdoors,” Dr. Fisk said. “The virus dissipates quickly into the air outdoors.

“And so the benefit of wearing a mask, when you’re walking down the street, in my opinion, is zero,” he said.

Drs. Fisk and Ansorg agreed that a mask isn’t needed when you’re on a hike or walk and

Cottage Health, which operates Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, recently saw a decline in COVID-19-related hospitalizations.

there’s no one around.

But Dr. Ansorg noted people should wear a mask outside if they’re walking past others in confined places such as outdoor stairs or are standing in a line.

He said people should wear a mask if they’re next to someone for more than a minute.

“It’s perfectly fine to take a walk and have someone at arm’s length,” Dr. Ansorg said. “We just have to remember the virus is spread from person to person by our respiratory droplets.”

And he said that’s why outdoor gatherings such as backyard barbecues are risky.

Dr. Ansorg explained that the very act of talking loudly, laughing and even singing leads to the widespread transmission of droplets with COVID-19.

Dr. Fisk noted the importance of people staying six feet apart, whether they’re outside or inside.

“Groups of 10 or 15 people at the beach can space themselves apart, and it’s not going to be a problem.

It’s hard to make a blanket statement because one activity differs from another.”

As part of the county’s efforts for caution, beaches are closed to people lying around or sitting on the beaches during this Labor

Day weekend. Under the order, if you’re at the beach today, you have to be doing an activity such as walking or running.

That takes care of this weekend, but the question on everyone’s mind is when the pandemic will end.

Dr. Fisk said he doesn’t know.

“My hope is we’ll see this wane by next summer, but that’s purely a hope. I have no idea.”

And Dr. Ansorg said he frequently asks himself the question of when life will get back to normal.

“The honest answer is I don’t know. But I really had a pleasant surprise when the numbers were

trending downward,” the health officer said.

“If we see less transmission of the virus, then definitely more things can open.” email: dmason@newspress.com

PART 2 LATER THIS WEEK See Wednesday’s NewsPress for more from the interviews with Drs. Fisk and Ansorg. Topics will include treatments, testing and the work at Cottage Health.

John & Cathy Grove 60th Wedding Anniversary

John and Cathy Grove are celebrating 60 years of marriage on September 10th. They married in Stafford, Kansas after attending Sterling College together. While living in Goleta John has worked for Raytheon, Telos and QAD and Cathy worked for Telos. Both are involved in Shoreline Community Church. Children Doug, Diane, and Jeff along with their spouses and 5 grandchildren wish them a Happy Anniversary!

Life-long residents of Santa Barbara, William “Bill” and Dorothy Sangster recently celebrated their 70th Wedding Anniversary at the home of their daughter and son-in-law, Clare and Chuck Theriot. Bill and Dorothy were able to share their special day via ZOOM with all of their children and many other family members.

Bill and Dorothy (nee Puerling) were married in Santa Barbara on September 4, 1950 at San Roque Church. After honeymooning in Yosemite, Bill and Dorothy made their home in Hoff Heights, where they had their first of many children.

They later moved to Hope Avenue where they resided until Bill’s retirement after 45 plus years working for Calvary Cemetery.

In their 70 years together, Bill and Dorothy saw their family grow from 10 children (six sons and four daughters) to 18 grandchildren to 17 great-grandchildren. In their golden years together, Bill and Dorothy stay as active as possible in both their Church and community.

COURTESY PHOTOS

D.J. LeMahieu of the New York Yankees has a shot at batting .400 during this coronavirus-shortened season.

Several of Major League Baseball’s seemingly impregnable barriers — most prominently the .400 batting average and 1.00 earned run average — have been made vulnerable by the coronavirus. out on Friday. But he says he’s not focused on batting .400, anyway. “Baseball is way too hard to try to do that,� he said. “But I think it’s possible.�

He’s lucky that he won’t have to face Tate’s old Gaucho teammate during this geographically compartmentalized season. The Yankees won’t play the Indians unless they get matched up in the playoffs.

Bieber, who will start for Cleveland in today’s game against Milwaukee, leads all of baseball with 84 strikeouts in eight starts.

His ratio of 14.4 strikeouts per nine innings puts him pace to break the Major League record of 13.8 set last year by Houston’s Gerrit Cole.

Bieber whiffed 14 Kansas City batters on July 23 to pass Bob Gibson and Lon Warneke for most strikeouts without allowing a run on Opening Day. It would be more extraordinary, however, for him to break the modern-day record for earned run average (1.12) that Gibson set in 1968. It was such an astounding feat that it stirred Major League Baseball to reduce the size of the strike zone and lower the pitching mound by a third.

But Bieber’s ERA of 1.20 still puts him in range of beating that mark in the tighter, flatter world of 2020. “His curveball is so good right now, I think there are times hitters are sitting on it and they still can’t not swing at it,� Indians pitching coach Carl Willis said. “Or they get frozen because they think it’s a ball out of the hand. He throws it with such conviction. “I think he’s building his own brand and doing a really good job with it.�

The last time a pitcher dipped under 1.00 was when Boston’s Dutch Leonard, excited by the

Brown came close for the Chicago Cubs at 1.04 in 1906 — eight years before the opening of Wrigley Field. He got his nickname, as well as the ability to throw a nasty curveball, after his right hand was caught in a thresher that separated grain from stalks and husks.

Fortunately for Bieber, he was able to skip a farming accident and just had former Gaucho teammate Trevor Bettencourt teach him his curveball two years ago. “I really enjoy that pitch right now,� Bieber said. “It’s kind of my baby.�

Rookie Tim O’Keefe of the National League’s Troy Trojans of upstate New York delivered the all-time-best ERA of 0.86 in 1880 — five years before France delivered the Statue of Liberty in downstate New York.

If Bieber does break his record, O’Keefe’s great, great, great grandchildren can say that the Cleveland ace didn’t have the pressure of spectators during this season of the COVID. The Troy Trojans, after all, had to play before a whopping 25 fans in their season finale at Worcester.

The shortened season should at least necessitate a notation next to any new entries in the record book. Then-commissioner Ford Frick suggested that in 1961 when Roger Maris took advantage of a longer season to break Babe Ruth’s single-season record of 60 home runs.

It makes more sense in 2020 than it did in 1961. An asterisk, after all, does kind of look like the coronavirus.

MONTECITO COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION RECORDING SECRETARY (568-2000)

Greti was born in 1942 in Vipiteno, a village in the Italian Alps near the Austrian border, the youngest of 5 siblings. She grew up speaking both Italian and German and later earned her teaching degree, which she put to great use throughout her life as a natural “professoressa.�

As a young lady, Greti was a talented skier and tennis player, and spent much of her free time hiking throughout the Dolomites.

In 1964, Greti immigrated to the US, where she married her first love, Dr. Armand Croft Jr. The young couple moved to San Francisco, where Greti gave birth to her two sons, Armand III and Ewan. When she wasn’t being a mom, Greti taught both of her native languages to adults at San Francisco City College, where she met many of her cherished life-long friends. She also built and ran an immersive language school in the Trinity Alps in Northern California.

In the late 60s, Greti’s brother Rudi introduced her to a small fishing village on the Baja peninsula of Mexico called Puertecitos, where she purchased a small and very rustic home, complete with an outhouse. This humble casa overlooking the Sea of Cortez was her paradise, where she enjoyed many wonderful experiences with her family and friends.

Greti worked tirelessly over many decades to build and run her thriving real estate business, facing the many challenges of a woman business owner along the way. She was not only successful in building a substantial enterprise, but did so with integrity, decency, and respect for everyone she dealt with.

Later in life, Greti married her second husband, Dr. Murray Elman, with whom she lived happily in Santa Barbara until his passing in 2005. They enjoyed amazing adventures and spent their summers in Halifax, Nova Scotia, driving over 2,000 miles to get there in Murray’s old VW Vanagon camper. Murray’s courage throughout these journeys must be admired, for Greti was a very Italian driver, which could be a harrowing experience for her passengers.

Beyond those whose lives she touched directly, Greti dedicated herself to improving the world for future generations. She invested in solar power for her large properties at great cost to herself, reducing their carbon emissions and providing free electricity to many of her tenants. She took personal interest in her tenants and employees, treating them with astounding generosity. Greti also made philanthropic contributions to education and the environment, including to the UCSB Environmental Leadership Incubator.

Intelligent, irreverent, and outspoken, Greti was a woman of depth and character with a sharp mind and keen wit. She lived life on her terms and often circumvented the societal and cultural stereotypes and limits imposed on women of her generation. She had a lust for life, a deep philosophical curiosity, and a love of the arts and culture. She was open to progressive ideas and adventures. She was equally comfortable attending Burning Man or the Opera. We like to think of her now swimming with the dolphins in the Sea of Cortez, hosting a scrumptious dinner party, or enjoying her favorite Verdi Opera. She modeled gratitude and a joyful appreciation for each day. Thinking of how she lived her life is an inspiration to those who loved her, she will be greatly missed.

Greti is survived by her two sons Armand and Ewan, daughter-in-law Devon, two grandchildren Isabella and Rowan, her brother Rudi and two sisters Erika and Resi, her beloved sister-in-law Lynda, nieces Robyn, Pilar, Monica, Karen, and Ruth, her nephew Shane, her step-daughter Ali, and step-son Keenan.

Due to Covid 19 and in reverence to Greti’s practical nature, there will be no singular in-person celebration of life. Instead, please enjoy a meal with loved ones and laugh heartily. Enjoy a glass of wine and toast a compassionate lion who lived life to the fullest. Give those close to you a long and loving hug. Give your spouse or partner a beautiful kiss. And in all instances, tell them you love them.

Ciao mamma, mia Domenica, Signora, amica, professoressa‌ ci vidiamo presto.

In lieu of sending flowers, please make a charitable donation to a cause that is special to you in the name of Greti U. Croft.

GUEST OPINION

I

They mean what they say!

n every nation state and empire’s history, there are events or movements that change things forever. 9/11 was one of those moments, as was Pearl Harbor.

Fortunately, our nation survived both of these attacks and the subsequent wars. Truth be told, however, both of these events came about by way of an unhealthy dose of denialism on the part of the American people.

That is, historians inform us that neither of these events should have come as a surprise.

Hence, the one “state” that represents the worst threats against us can be “the state of denial.”

When the jihadists chanted “Death to America” and indicated they would bring their attacks to our soil, why did we not believe they meant what they said?

After all, they had been attacking Americans for decades.

We found out the hard way that wishful and willful ignorance will not abate threats.

Unfortunately, America has returned to a state of denial as to what is happening today, albeit today’s threat emanates from

we value and stand for. home-grown revolutionaries in That is, America is the free addition to the usual suspects of world’s last hope, and we alone China, Russia and Iran, not to stand in the way of their maniacal mention Islamic terrorists. ambitions.

Truthfully, what is going on in After Pearl Harbor and 9/11, our America today is not a protest country was united in response to movement, and further, it truly these attacks. Today, we could not has little to do with Black Lives. be more divided.

What we are experiencing That is, the establishment wings is nothing less than a violent of both parties, along with the revolution that aims to overthrow radical fringe within the our political, economic, Democratic Party, are religious and social order. sending mixed signals to Hence, their attacks our enemies abroad and on the White House, our at home. Mixed signals courts, police, businesses spell weakness and and churches. weakness spells disaster.

They mean usual relationship with China what they say, and we live in at the expense of the American denial to our peril.

What they all have in common is addition to completely ignoring the violence in cities across the their desire to foment the demise land, we have Nancy Pelosi’s of America. denouncement of Republicans as They are enemies of everything

“enemies of the state.”

Describing anyone in these terms, in a political and historical context, is nothing less than a declaration of war.

Then, we have Joe Biden who says that “China is not our enemy.

We want to see China rise.”

This, despite the fact that the FBI is opening a new espionage case against China every 10 hours!

Furthermore, Joe, try telling that to the people of Hong Kong.

In this present time in America, there are calls to abandon: our Judeo-Christian heritage; Western Civilization; our laws, cultures and institutions; the nuclear family, belief in God, and the concept of unalienable rights and selfevident truth.

If that happens, what happens next?

Keep living in denial, America, and you will find out.

Civilizations come and go, and it is usually internal rot and acrimony that does them in long before the Huns are at the gate.

women began to win elections and men to lose them. Wyoming women began voting in 1869; in 1870, Esther Hobart Morris became a justice of the peace.

Idaho women were enfranchised in 1896. In 1898, the first women legislators — Hattie Noble, Mary Wright and Clara Permilia Campbell — were elected. Montana women started to vote in 1914; in 1916, Jeanette Rankin was elected to Congress.

In 1911, voters recalled the mayor of Seattle, who had tolerated drinking and gambling.

In 1920, Virginia women defeated an anti-suffragist candidate for Governor.

In 1913, several Idaho governors and congressmen reported that women voters had enabled legislation against gambling, raised the age of consent and created a State Library Commission. Furthermore, none of the anti-suffragists’ negative predictions had occurred— there were actually fewer divorces in states with woman suffrage than in states without it. Recent studies confirm that women voters did make a difference.

he Santa Barbara News-Press endorses these candidates for the Nov. 3 general election: President Donald Trump. This is not an election of personalities — it’s an election to save the country from those forces that want to “transform” it into something that is the antithesis of this country’s founding, changing for the worst the most wonderful country on Earth.

Andy Caldwell, 24th District, U.S. House of Representatives, will bring a much needed “voice of reason” to the U.S. Congress, something sorely lacking for decades in this district.

He wants to “drain the swamp” in Washington, lower taxes, fight for the working man and work to decrease the size of government.

He will battle the socialist agenda, fight for parents’ right to choose the best school for their children, work to provide affordable housing and healthcare.

He pledges to restore constitutional principles to government and to restore the American Dream.

Jordan Cunningham has been an active common-sense representative for the 35th State Assembly District. He has taken on the Employment Development Department (EDD) to help his constituents get unemployment benefits during the pandemic.

He supports having the U.S. Space Command Headquarters based at Vandenberg Air Force Base, which will bring much needed employment to the Santa Barbara region.

Gary Michaels, 19th State Senate District, Santa Maria, a small business owner who is a fiscal conservative. He wants to get the best value for taxpayers and believes in limited government and limited government expenditures.

Charles Cole, 37th State Assembly District, a lifelong resident of Santa Barbara, embraces Ronald Reagan’s principles and values in California politics. He is for school choice, opposes new taxes and would like to see the monies spent on the “train to nowhere” go toward self-help resources for the homeless who want to reenter society.

showed a dramatic change in American politics from the very beginning. There were sharp increases in spending on social programs, especially on health and education. As a result, child mortality decreased by about 15 percent.Today about 10 million more women than men are registered to vote and more women than men have voted since 1964. In 2016, 9.9 million more women than men voted.

There has also been a gender gap in presidential elections since 1980, with more women than men supporting Democrats, and a gender gap is also appearing in congressional elections. Clearly women voters have made a difference in American politics.

They have brought about important changes and will likely continue to do so. And if they turn out to vote in sufficient numbers for November’s election, women could determine the outcome.

letters to the news-press Climate change and national security

I

n response to a recent column

by Andy Caldwell, I want to draw attention to a remarkable document on climate change and national security. Sixty-four senior U.S. military and security leaders have endorsed “A Climate Security Plan for America.”

It’s signed by more than 20 admirals and generals, including Rear Adm. David Titley, former oceanographer and navigator of the Navy, and Gen. Gordon Sullivan, former chief of staff of the Army.

This comprehensive report states that increases in extreme weather “can devastate essential energy, financial and agricultural centers that undergird U.S. and global economic viability and the well-being of our populations.”

It calls for initiatives to improve the resilience of critical infrastructure and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. and globally in order to avoid “catastrophic security consequences.” It’s important to look to independent organizations like the military when evaluating the threat posed by climate change. Because the armed services depend on scientific evidence to assess risk, they are less amenable to politicized science.

The U.S. military has expressed concern about climate change since the George W. Bush Administration, and dozens of Defense Department documents on this issue can be accessed at climateandsecurity.org.

Urgently reducing greenhouse gas emissions and funding adaptation should be top priorities for every politician who is concerned about national security and global stability.

Vote for Carbajal

O

pen letter to the good people of the 24th Congressional District: A vote for Andy Caldwell is a huge step backwards, It is a vote against choice, clean air, water, and separation of church and state.

Is that who we are? Do you want to see oil rigs back in operation off our beautiful beaches? Or fracking? Or public money going to private sectarian schools? I think not!

Stick with Salud !!!

Lois Rosen Goleta

Let’s remove all names s I watch the news and read A the paper, I see activists taking out their anger, with

encouragement from the media and politicians, on symbols from our history that they believe are offensive and oppressive. They would rather erase history rather than learn from mistakes of the past.

So let us get past all these protests and destruction that are facilitating the spread of COVID19 and completely cleanse our society of anything reminding anyone of slavery.

Statues have been torn down of Father Serra because of the Spanish colonists’ treatment of Native Americans. So let’s completely erase this Spanish atrocity from our society and abolish the Catholic Church.

We will also need to get rid of all the Spanish names of counties, cities, towns and streets in the state. To make sure this Spanish plague can’t offend anyone else, let us also require everyone with a Spanish name to change it to something inoffensive.

The Native Americans are offended by their treatment by the Spanish, but don’t forget the tribes also took slaves from other tribes as well as white settlers so those acts of slavery would also be offensive, so all Native American names, symbols and titles would also have to be erased.

Blacks also owned a lot of black slaves in America’s history, so anything honoring MLK or other prominent blacks would also have to be erased; after all, it is possible that MLK had a 10th cousin that was a slave owner.

The prophet Mohamed was not only a slave owner, but a slave trader and even today Muslims own slaves in other countries.

So all mosques and references to Islam have to go! We all know

whites owned slaves, so all European names, titles, etc would have to go away.

And last but not least, the political party that fought to keep slaves, founded the KKK and enacted the Jim Crow laws that oppressed blacks for about 100 years must be done away with.

Maybe, so as to not offend anyone, we could do everything by numbers? No way to offend anybody if every person, place or thing is only known by a number.

Get rid of all cultural and ethnic identities and references once and for all!

Have all official identification show only a number — no reference to race, gender, nationality etc.

Continued from Page A10 A local neighborhood sign reads “… Make Orwell Fiction Again …” California has the worst student-to-library ratio of the country. In Oakland, 14 of 17 public school libraries are closed. These school libraries are closing with a shrug, using the excuse that students do not read books anymore.

The public schools systematically eliminated art and music from the curriculum over the last three decades. So why not eliminate books too?

Literacy goes down along with knowledge.

Historical references are blurred. But athletic programs remain intact. Sports are an important element of education.

But where is the balance?

Whatever happened to the term “scholar/athlete”?

In Orwell’s “1984,” he writes about the burning of the books.

However, Aldous Huxley wrote in his version of future shock, there would be no need to burn books, since everyone will be too preoccupied with their

electronic devices. “Brave New World” was written in 1932.

Another chance to rectify a bad situation as a result of complacent voting regarding our local education system: Nine open seats are up for election.

Three each for Santa Barbara City College Board of Trustees, SB Unified School District and the County Board of Education.

Remember, these people make decisions that steer your child’s development, thinking and ability to reason, and play a strategic role in their character development. Look at the fallout and mayhem many cities are experiencing today because of what the students were taught (or not taught) in our present school system. California schools have remained in the bottom third of the nation’s schools for the last several decades.

Fifty years ago, California was in the top three of the nation’s schools, behind New York and Iowa.

The Coalition for Neighborhood Schools is

hosting a Candidates’ Forum for candidates for the Santa Barbara Unified School District board at 7 p.m. Sept. 17 on Zoom.

Please email cns4schools@aol. com to receive the Zoom link.

Kindly put “RSVP to Forum” in the subject line. We encourage the public to attend. Please submit your questions in advance by email.

The League of Women Voters will be having two forums via Zoom this Thursday: at 5:30 p.m., Monique Limon and Gary Michaels, candidates for the 19th District State Senate seat and at 7 p.m.: Steve Bennett and Charles Cole, candidates for 37th District State Assembly seat.

Front yard and frontrunner Santa Barbara family wins America’s best front yard

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

S

tephanie Poole entered pictures of her front yard in a few contests during her extra time at home. She didn’t think she would actually win one — or two.

Then, two weeks ago, she won the grand prize in the WaterWise Garden Recognition Contest, a countywide competition for drought-resistant landscaping.

And Tuesday, her family’s picture launched into national view as Better Homes and Gardens announced their garden as America’s Best Front Yard.

Around 1,800 yards competed for the title. Mrs. Poole asked her neighbors to vote for her family’s entry, and she was shocked when she made the top 10. When Better Homes and Gardens came to do a four-hour photo shoot at the family’s home in Santa Barbara’s Westside, she figured they won — though it seemed too good to be true.

When Mrs. Poole and her husband Brian Hickey began renovating the front yard, they didn’t mean to make it worthy of national acclaim.

After the mudflows in 2018 hit Montecito, it was easy to buy local sandstone. Mrs. Poole wanted to replace the chain-link fence that surrounded the property, so she decided to build a 26-inch-high rock wall — the perfect height for neighbors to sit and chat.

The project grew to include a bocce-ball court driveway (a nightly favorite for the family of three) and lots of droughtresistant plants. Mrs. Poole works as an architect and did the design herself but contacted landscape architecture friends to help with irrigation and drains.

She says the drought-resistant plants weren’t a hindrance to her design at all.

Please see gardens on b4

Stephanie Poole and Brian Hickey’s home is featured as America’s Best Front Yard contest winner on the Better Homes and Gardens website, bhg.com.

Stephanie Poole stands on the sidewalk in front of her home with America’s Best Front Yard 2020, according to Better Home and Gardens’ annual contest. The project started with a California sandstone wall with geodes from her family’s travels and succulents intertwined.

At left, Mrs. Poole planted aeonium black rose, a succulent with deep violet hues, to add contrast to her landscaping. The plant is one of many species of drought-tolerant plants she chose. At right, Mrs. Poole spotted an African tulip tree years ago and wanted one since. Toward the end of the landscaping project, she decided to add one to shade a pair of adirondack chairs.

How to play Codeword Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Note: Due to the holiday weekend, Horoscope was not available at print time, but it will be back on Tuesday.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Codeword is a fun game with simple rules, and a great test of your knowledge of the English language.

Sunday, September 6, 2020

SOLUTION ON D3

Every number in the codeword grid is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;codeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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 you off. 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.

PUZZLES

Wife is looking for a way out

D

ear Abby: I have been married for three years. We are both retired. Five months after the wedding, my husband let me know that he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interested in having sex anymore. We no longer share a bedroom. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overweight, not in the best of health, and refuses to change his diet or exercise.

I feel like I am living with a very nice male friend. Other than the lack of affection, he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a bad person and he pays all the bills. I did state clearly to him before we were married what I was looking for in a husband, and he agreed to everything I said. Although I am lonely, I would never cheat on him.

I have been thinking about an exit plan.

We pray every night and attend church together.

He refuses to consider Abigail any type of Van Buren marriage counseling. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not stressed, but I know I must get out of here. Any suggestions on how to save this marriage? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Exit Plan Dear Exit: The answer to your question is no. You made clear to your husband that sex in a marriage was important to you. You say he â&#x20AC;&#x153;agreed to everything.â&#x20AC;? Because that was not the truth and you were misled, consult an attorney to find out if the marriage can be annulled.

Dear Abby: My husband and I have been married for 10 years.

We are both in our 50s. Six months ago, I found him with nail polish on his toes. When I asked him about it, he explained that it started in his 20s when a girlfriend painted his toes, and he liked it. He has been painting his toes ever since. He said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wear polish all the time, but he does it for himself and he likes how it looks. I asked if he was a cross-dresser, and he assured me he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure how I should feel about this. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m writing for opinions from you and others. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn to my friends because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want this to become small-town gossip. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Painted in New Jersey Dear Painted: You asked for an opinion, so hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mine.

Frankly, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m surprised it has taken you 10 years to notice this.

Because your husband enjoys painting his toenails, look the other way and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t obsess about it. We all have quirks, and what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing is harmless.

Dear Abby: I am estranged from my son because he changed his last name when he married. He did it over my objection. Reportedly, his wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents tried to dissuade them from doing it, too. The explanation we were given was â&#x20AC;&#x153;they need to have the same last name to feel like a family.â&#x20AC;?

I suppose our last name was not acceptable, although they claimed they had nothing against it.

I tried to compromise and suggested my son use a hyphenated name. They agreed to it, but changed their minds after the wedding. I suspect that their reason was they want their children to have a different last name than ours.

What is your take on this? Am I overreacting by wanting to have nothing to do with them? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mom of Another Name Dear Mom: Yes, you are overreacting. If you keep this up, your grandchildren will miss out on a loving grandma.

It is possible that your son and his wife preferred a name that was less ethnic or easier to spell. Hyphenating names can create problems â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially if it continues into the next generation.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moving away, so should he end it?

D

ear Carolyn: My story: Boy meets girl out in Washington, D.C., instant chemistry. On first real date, girl admits to boy that she already has plans for moving to New York City in a couple weeks to attend school for about a year, but that she likes boy, too. Girl postpones moving plans a bit, spending an additional two months with boy, who continues to fall madly in love with girl.

But, boy really wants girl to pursue professional dreams, and is totally supportive, while admitting he will miss her.

Girl is now moving in less than a month. Boy has never been a big fan of long-distance situations, but has never felt this way before, even though, at 35, he probably should be old enough to know better! Girl is 27.

Is it better to sever things so that both can fully enjoy everything their respective cities have to offer? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Matt Matt: Oh, Boy. You have met someone for whom you have feelings youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never felt before, and you are 35. And youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d sever things? Over being a three-hour train ride apart? For only a year?

If you were 21, the never-felt-this-before standard would still be significant, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to weigh it against the fact that as a new adult, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to feel a whole lot of things youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never felt before. But at the threshold of middle age, you should in fact know yourself better.

A few months of knowing someone isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much, but knowing when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found a good thing is everything.

Besides, at any age, there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much sense in throwing away a perfectly good toaster just

TONIGHT

because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance it might break. Have the nerve to tell her you care enough to want to keep seeing her, then have the nerve to see where it goes.

Dear Carolyn: I want you to tell me life will be OK, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure I deserve it.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this girl, and I love her, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been more honest with anyone. Maybe my mother . . . and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great. Right? Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the problem: Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been â&#x20AC;&#x153;talkingâ&#x20AC;? on and off for a year and a half, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always had feelings for me but I was afraid to take the next step, and managed to foil everything again, again and again, by hooking up.

Things are different now; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m changed. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll put that on everything.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changed, too. She says she still has feelings but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve â&#x20AC;&#x153;crossed too many lines.â&#x20AC;?

I have, Carolyn. Can we heal? Will she ever trust me? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m willing to put in the work. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sacramento Sacramento: If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sure â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and not just sure, but sure â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that your feelings are genuine and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not simply obsessing about cookies because you were just told you could never have cookies again, then do the following: Apologize for abusing her feelings for so long; tell her you love her; say youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll stop bothering her.

Then stop. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only sure way to demonstrate that you value her feelings over your own, which is the only sure way to demonstrate that you love her vs. merely wanting her. If ever she changes her mind, she can find you.

Email Carolyn at tellme@washpost.com or chat with her online at 9 a.m. each Friday at www.washingtonpost.com.

Field of dreams San Lucas Ranch harvests alfalfa

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Rows of alfalfa bales grace San Lucas Ranch, where there’s a sense of peace against grand backdrops..

Wild turkeys and beef cattle know this Santa Ynez site is special, and Photo Editor Rafael Maldonado spotted a deer that you’ll see in additional photos running in Monday’s News-Press.

Near State Route 154, the ranch features fresh air, fresh alfalfa and the beauty of nature.

They’re everything you need for fields of dreams. email: dmason@newspress.com

Stacked bales of alfalfa represent the result of the hard work.

Cut alfalfa graces San Lucas Ranch, which is near State Route 154.

Gardens

Continued from Page B1 It was easy to get permits because she was replacing a water-heavy lawn. She likes how the new grasses flutter in the wind and the deep color of her Crape Myrtle.

Two large rain barrels, disguised as planters, sit alongside the driveway and provide enough water October through April to cover the yard.

They hold up to 150 gallons of water, and when they overflow, it drains into the yard or through water-permeable pavers lining the ends of the driveway.

The design won the WaterWise contest, and it keeps water bills low.

Most features serve more than aesthetics. The family picks fruit off of the lemon, lime, orange and plum trees.

Their son loves the vegetable garden planted in fabric pockets.

He’ll run outside to grab a few kale leaves as Mrs. Poole makes lunch.

Often, neighbors walking dogs stop by to say hello. Mrs. Poole says some may have even extended their route to stop by.

When the family finished the yard, they held a potluck party for the neighborhood.

They hoped to do it again this year, but they enjoy waving to neighbors from the adirondack chairs a safe distance away.

The community feel makes the yard a favorite spot for the PooleHickey family. The awards just sweeten the experience. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

At right, foxtail agave line gardening beds alongside the driveway. Occasionally, Mrs. Poole includes a potted plant or two. The cacti potted in her front landscaping are from neighbors years ago when she rented a house. At left, the yard won the grand prize in the WaterWise Garden Recognition Project for its sustainable features, such as rain barrels and low-water grasses.
