The ceremony will feature a Veterans Color Guard, an Honor Guard of Girl and Boy Scouts, the Bob Gutherie Memorial Bagpipers and a Civil War cannon salute.

Workday set for Santa Monica Creek Trail

The community is invited to pitch in to beautify Santa Monica Creek Trail while creating habitat for important pollinators and helping native plants thrive on Saturday, May 21. Volunteers can drop in and lend a hand anytime between 9:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.

Led by trail steward Ray Kolbe, volunteers will lay down cardboard and spread mulch to keep invasive plants from crowding out native species. The workday is part of an ongoing effort to plant native species and beautify the often overlooked creekside trail that runs along Santa Monica Creek from Via Real to Foothill Road.

Volunteers are encouraged to bring work gloves, a hat and water, as well as a rake and/or hoe if possible. Join the effort at El Carro Lane and Santa Monica Creek. To learn more, contact Ray at rwkolbe@gmail.com or (805) 705-3429.

Firefighters prepare for fire season with drill

Several local fire agencies gathered this week for an annual wildland urban interface drill at Los Flores Ranch, preparing for the high fire season.

The Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District, Santa Maria City Fire Department, Santa Barbara County Fire Department, Montecito Fire Department, the Five Cities Fire Authority, CalFire SLO and Los Padres National Forest agencies traveled through five stations in the area, tackling various practices including progressive hose lays, structure protection, night helicopter operations and more.

“Training with our local partner agencies gives firefighters the opportunity to get to know one another and build invaluable trust among all the involved departments. More than 50 local fire personnel participated in this year’s drill,” Public Information Officer Christina Fauzzi said.

The agencies ask community members to review their wildfire and evacuation plans. Learn more at readyforwildfire.org.

Hospice offers help with medical advance care planning

Hospice of Santa Barbara (HSB) and Mi Vida, Mi Voz (MVMV) have launched “Get it Done SB!,” a new advance care planning initiative for both English and Spanish speakers in Santa Barbara County.

Advance care planning is a way for people of all ages to prepare for their end-of-life medical wishes. An advance directive assists individuals in making decisions about the types of healthcare they wish to receive in the event they become very sick or injured and are not able to speak for themselves. Additionally, it allows them to select a person to make healthcare decisions if they are unable to make them themselves.

Community workshops, open to the public, will be scheduled in the coming months to educate the public on advance medical care planning, along with help filling out and submitting the documents to healthcare providers. To learn more visit getitdonesb.org or miregalo.org.
