‘Raising Our Light’ goes virtual Debris flow ceremony will be streamed live on Saturday By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Saturday will mark three years since the devastating debris flow event impacted the coastal community of Montecito. In consideration of the pandemic stay-at-home orders, a team of community partners will host this year’s commemorative event as a livestream on both Zoom and Facebook Live. The ceremony to honor the lives of those who were lost, titled “An Evening of Remembrance, Solidarity and Hope,” will begin at 6:30 p.m. Saturday with an invocation from Montecito Fire Protection District Chief Kevin Taylor. Firefighters will then light 23 candles in honor of the 23 victims of the debris flow, which will be followed by a moment of silence. Local churches and schools will then ring 23 bells, and a searchlight will be lit at Montecito Union School, as a “symbol of community support and solidarity for the victims and survivors alike,” read a news release. Sharon Byrne, executive director for the Montecito Association, explained that although large gatherings are not permitted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Montecito still suffered “a serious collective trauma.” Organizers hope for the event to serve as a container for that trauma. “We want to be able to try and help people get a handle on their emotions and everything that comes up this time of year,” she said. South Coast residents are invited to join in during the virtual ceremony, allowing them to remain at home without risking their health while still being involved with the community.

Cottage Health Infectious Disease Specialist Dr. Lynn Fitzgibbons was among the first employees to receive a COVID-19 vaccine shot.

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

In its first update in 2021, the UCSB Economic Forecast Project held a Zoom meeting to discuss the impacts of the COVID19 vaccine distribution on the community. Speakers at the virtual meeting were EFP Executive Director Dr. Peter Rupert, County Public Health Director Dr. Van DoReynoso and Cottage Health Infectious Disease Specialist Dr. Lynn Fitzgibbons. They aimed to instill confidence in people to get the COVID19 vaccine when they become eligible. At the start of the Zoom webinar, Dr. Rupert held a poll asking participants whether they would get the vaccine if it were available to them today. Participants could answer “Definitely,” “Probably,” “Probably not” or “Definitely not.” The results from that poll were: 72% answered that they definitely would get the vaccine; 17% said

they probably would; 7% answered they probably would not; and 4% answered that they would definitely not. Dr. Rupert shared that in a nationwide poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation COVID19 Vaccine Monitor, 41% of those surveyed answered they would definitely get the vaccine; 30% answered they would probably get it; and 17% answered that they would either probably not get it or definitely would not get it. Dr. Rupert added that according to the national results, demographics such as registered Republicans, rural residents, black adults and essential workers say they would probably not or will not get the COVID-19 vaccine. “This should not be about different races, sex or age,” he said. “We’re starting to see people get more educated and more understanding, but, to me, this is a more serious matter in that … the vaccine should really not be anything about being across different political spectra.” The UCSB professor also provided a few economic updates,

soon. She noted an important adjustment in direction from the California Department of Public Health. If the county “has done its due diligence in providing vaccines to Tier 1,” it can proceed to tiers 2 and 3. “Here in Santa Barbara County, we are going through Phase 1A with the three tiers concurrently, because we want to make sure all the vaccines we’ve allocated are getting into arms and not sitting in refrigerators and freezers,” Dr. Do-Reynoso said. In addition, Public Health has partnered with retail pharmacies such as Albertsons and Ralphs. The public health director said Santa Barbara County is looking at being able to do mass vaccination sometime in late March or early spring, meaning the general public throughout the county. If Santa Barbara County residents are not in Phase 1A or Phase 1B, they can expect to be vaccinated then. Please see support on A8

Essential workers to get vaccine in early February By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The COVID-19 vaccine is rolling out simultaneously as the daily case numbers of positive COVID-19 individuals and COVID-related deaths continue to rise in Santa Barbara County. The good news is that some essential workers outside the healthcare space will begin to be vaccinated in Phase 1B Tier 1, according to County Public Health Public Information Officer Jackeline Ruiz. “Our best estimate for when this might begin is early February,” she told the NewsPress on Thursday. “This will include the following groups: food/grocery and agricultural

workers, education and childcare and emergency services such as law enforcement, probation and corrections.” Other good news is that, according to Ms. Ruiz, all 14 of the county’s skilled nursing facilities are currently being vaccinated or have been vaccinated. However, COVID-19 has made its way into these skilled nursing facilities, and multiple senior COVID-related deaths have been reported. The deaths have also been associated with residing in congregate facilities in the past few weeks. As of Jan. 5, Atterdag Care Center reported fewer than 11 Please see uptick on A8

including that jobless claims remain elevated and more stimulus checks have arrived. However, he said the community hasn’t seen the results of the latest lockdown over the holidays yet. Dr. Do-Reynoso with the Public Health Department updated the participants on the COVID-19 vaccination efforts in the county. To date, 16,775 doses have been received. In addition, 4,900 doses were ordered on Thursday, and Public Health anticipates 7,200 doses next week. “We want to make sure that every time we order vaccines, that our providers are approved providers … and have the capacity to quickly administer those doses and that they’re not sitting in the freezer or refrigerator sequentially,” she said. Currently, there are 12 providers that are being allocated vaccines from the Public Health Department. As of Tuesday, Dr. Do-Reynoso said 42 approved vaccine providers anticipate being able to distribute new allocations

Event organizers said it is normal to experience feelings of fear, anxiety and sadness near the anniversary of a disaster, and this year will be especially challenging given the health restrictions in place. “We are not able to gather together in person as we normally would, but this should not stop us from supporting each other,” organizers said. “We can gather by phone, Zoom and most definitely, know that we are all sharing the feelings and memories of this day, together.” Organizers also offered tips for coping, which include sharing stories, memories and feelings with others. “Accept kindness and help from others,” organizers said. “Support from family and friends is critical to healing.” The country’s Community Wellness Team formed in the wake of the fire and debris flow remain active in the community to offer support. The team can be reached at 805-364-2750. To register for this Zoom event, visit: zoom.us/webinar/register/ WN_LqkfbBJrTmast2OaO-T9Jg.

GOLETA — A Thursday afternoon shooting in unincorporated Goleta left one person dead and another critically injured, leading to an hours-long manhunt, authorities said. The shooting was reported around 1 p.m. at a residence in the 600 block of Burtis Street in unincorporated Goleta. The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office declared one person dead and reported that another had been transported to a local hospital for treatment. The lone suspect was outstanding on Thursday and was considered armed and dangerous. Sheriff’s K9 and patrol units were canvassing the area throughout the day on Thursday and were assisted by an Air Support helicopter. A shelter in place order was issued for a time for residents from Hollister Avenue south to the bike path, between Turnpike Road and Patterson Avenue. The order was lifted around 3:15 p.m., though the suspect was still outstanding and was

believed to have fled the area prior to law enforcement arrival, according to Raquel Zick, sheriff’s spokeswoman. The shooting occurred in front of a residence in the area. A black Audi sedan was in the driveway of a residence with its driverside window shattered and glass strewn onto the street.

Man arrested in fatal shooting SANTA MARIA — A Santa Maria man has been arrested in connection with a fatal shooting that occurred last weekend, police said. The shooting was reported around 4:30 p.m. Saturday in the 900 block of West El Camino Street in Santa Maria. Officers found the victim, identified as Kevin Alan Najarro, deceased after suffering multiple gunshot wounds. The evidence located at the scene led to the identification

of 35-year-old Robert Anthony Molina as the shooter, police said. Mr. Molina was tracked to an apartment in the 200 block of North Depot Street. He was taken into custody by detectives and patrol officers without incident. He was booked into Santa Barbara County Jail on suspicion of murder and is being held on $3 million bail, authorities said. The shooting is not believed to be gang related, police said. Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to call Detective Kulp at 805-928-3781 x1643 or the SMPD Tip Line at 805-928-3781 x2677. — Mitchell White

Traffic control, striping changes planned in pathway project SANTA BARBARA — Temporary traffic control and striping changes will be implemented along Las Positas Road between Modoc Road and

Cliff Drive starting Monday as part of the Las Positas and Modoc roads multi-use pathway project. The changes, which will run through October 2021, will include the temporary removal of the northbound bike lane within a portion of the segment just north of Cliff Drive. The speed limit will be reduced to 35 mph and traffic will be shifted to allow enough buffer for construction work to occur safely. Drivers are advised to share the road with cyclists and proceed with caution within the Las Positas corridor during construction, according to a news release. The multi-use pathway will create a safe separation for bicyclists, runners and pedestrians from higher speed traffic along Las Positas and Modoc roads. The 2.6-mile long path will connect the beach, schools, parks and commercial centers with the community along the Pacific Coastal and Crosstown bike routes. The project is funded primarily through Active Transportation Program grant funds, in addition to local Measure C funds for local matching costs.

Joe Biden was certified as the president-elect by Congress early Thursday morning — hours after pro-Trump rioters stormed the Capitol. Congress rejected objections to Electoral College results in Arizona and Pennsylvania. And President Donald Trump Thursday conceded the election to the former vice president. President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will be inaugurated at noon Jan. 20. “Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th,� President Trump said in a statement issued through Dan Scavino, White House deputy chief of staff. “I have always said we would continue our fight to ensure that

only legal votes were counted,� he said. “While this represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history, it’s only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again!� Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, called for President Trump’s removal after the president urged his supporters to march to the Capitol. “I’m calling on @VP Pence to invoke the #25Amendment. @POTUS incited a violent attack on our Capitol rather than accept the results of the election. He is unfit to lead.� To begin the process, Vice President Pence would need the support of the majority of the Cabinet members. After rioters Wednesday stormed the Capitol, President Trump urged them to go home in a minute-long video, during which he repeated his allegations about election fraud.

Beach volleyball star Katie Spieler is dancing the pandemic away By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

You can’t keep a good woman down, even when she’s trying to make it in pro beach volleyball at just 5-foot-5 while grounded by a pandemic. Katie Spieler is bringing the hills of Santa Barbara alive with the sound of music and dance, and it’s helped her overcome the loss of her season, her youth camp ‌ and a close friend. “My sister and I have always loved dancing,â€? she said, “and this past year, we leaned on it

even more to find joy in the days.� The COVID-19 pandemic canceled the 2020 Association of Volleyball Professionals Tour just when Spieler, a 26-year-old Dos Pueblos High graduate, was coming into her own. Her AVP finishes have been as high as third (Austin), fifth (Hermosa Beach), and seventh (Manhattan Beach) during the last two, full seasons. Spieler also helped the U.S. National Team win the 4x4 Beach Volleyball Championship in Qatar just five months before the pandemic canceled sports

competition all over the world. But her 2019 season of volleyball was marred by the death of Eric Zaun, a fellow pro beach volleyball player whom she had been dating. Zaun took his own life a few days after having played in the New York City Open. “I was just in a really sad time,� Spieler said. One Friday night, however, she and sister Cara decided to dance their cares away. “Not just your average dancing, but on a rock in the mountains,� Spieler said. “And we just loved

it because right when we got up there, dancing on our own, all we could hear was the music, nature ‌ and you had this amazing view of Santa Barbara. “In that moment, dancing on the rock for the first time, I just thought, ‘Wow! This is what life is!’â€? It was the start of a roving, outdoor dance party which has taken the Spielers and friends to many of Santa Barbara’s most scenic locales. “Once we figured out that we could capture that, we just got into finding new spots that were fun and cool to dance,â€? she said. “Just kind of out-of-the-box spots. “We’ll listen to songs during the week and go, ‘Oh! We found a really good song ‌ Let’s try it out.’â€? Spieler said Cara will usually get things started. “She’ll get up on whatever spot we’re dancing,â€? she said. “Sometimes it’s a rock. Sometimes it’s a boat that washed ashore. “She’ll just go until she can’t dance any longer. And then we switch off.â€? Spieler felt inspired by Zaun, who helped bring out her “superadventurousâ€? and “feistyâ€? side. “Meeting Eric was awesome — it kind of broke that shell for me because he was really not concerned with any rules,â€? she said. “He really opened that up. “I do feel like when I’m in the moment — doing a pier jump, dancing, doing these little adventures — that’s when I feel Eric the most. That’s been special for me, and I hope to carry that forward.â€? Spieler’s volleyball roots run deep into the sands of East

Dos Pueblos High graduate Katie Spieler, now a beach volleyball star on the AVP Tour, helped start the award-winning East Beach Volleyball Academy.

Beach. Her parents, Paul and Kathy, both excelled in the sport, as did her aunts, the former Kelly and Lisa Strand. “Before I could walk, I was down at the beach with my mom,� she said. “I could go down anytime and get better on my own time, so I loved that aspect of it. “I had aspirations that were really high. A lot of people didn’t see that because of my height, but I knew within. And I’ve had a lot of support.� Spieler led DP to the CIFSouthern Section semifinals during both her junior and senior seasons. She continued on to become a two-time beach

volleyball All-American at the University of Hawaii. She was nominated for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award in 2016. She teamed with her 6-foot-3 cousin, Torrey Van Winden, to win the 2014 CBVA Santa Barbara Women’s Open. Torrey, the daughter of Kelly and former Cal Poly basketball star James Van Winden, starred for the Mustangs in beach volleyball but is planning to play for Florida State this spring. “All my cousins are like 6-4,� Spieler said. “I was like, ‘Mom! Why did you marry a short guy?’ “But as I grew up, I’ve really seen it as a positive. If I can succeed at this height, it inspires a lot of other kids who may not have the physicality. I just say that if you follow it, and you love it, and you push yourself, you can accomplish anything.� That’s been her mantra at the East Beach Volleyball Academy, a camp for kids age 9 to 17 that she started with Dana Kabashima. It’s become so popular that the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table honored Spieler and Kabashima with its Russ Hargreaves Award for recreational leadership in 2017. They’ve kept the academy alive in spite of the pandemic by writing up practice plans for the campers and holding twiceweekly Zoom practices. Her parents and sister, as well as local coach Jason Donnelly, have kept her in shape, as well, with practice sessions on a private court. “I’m just so blessed,� Spieler said, “because I love the sport.� It is her favorite dance. email: mpatton@newspress.com

Knecht planning to step down as Westmont golf coach By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Tom Knecht, pioneering coach of Westmont College golf, announced that he will be stepping down from the position at the end of the school year. Knecht started both the Warriors’ men’s and women’s programs during the 2019-20 school year. He said he will resign with mixed emotions. “I’m very proud to be a part of helping to build a golf program from scratch,� he said. “I’m also very grateful to all the people who made this possible, from the administration to donors to the players and their parents. “Although I will continue to be a part of Westmont athletics, I will miss my daily interaction with the wonderful players on the team.� Knecht, a professor of political science at the college, recruited the entire men’s and women’s teams last year and coached them in eight tournaments. He also played host to the Westmont Invitational last February at Sandpiper Golf Course. His men’s team placed second out of seven teams. His women’s team, meanwhile,

won the five-team William Jessup Fall Invitational. “We are indebted to Tom for the foundation he laid for the Westmont golf programs,� athletic director Dave Odell said. “Launching a new sports program requires many hours of hard work, especially in recruiting new students to come to Westmont to study and pursue their athletic passions. “As a professor, Tom was able to share with recruits not only a love of golf, but also help them understand the academic opportunities available to them at Westmont.� Knecht plans to continue providing academic support to Westmont’s athletes. “During his time as golf coach, it became quickly apparent that coach Knecht was an amazing resource for our other coaches due to his role as a member of the faculty,� Odell said. “He also could uniquely understand and promote Westmont athletics due to his dual role as a coach and professor. “I am excited that Tom will play a vital role in helping us secure the resources we need to continue our legacy as one of the elite small college athletic programs in

the country. As a former athlete at Stanford, Tom understands what is required to sustain excellence in the classroom and on the playing field. He will be an invaluable resource for us on many levels.� Westmont has already begun the search for a new head coach. “It is important that we bring in someone who will help mentor our student-athletes as they grow and mature spiritually, socially, physically and academically during their Westmont careers,� Odell said. “We will take our time to find the right person to entrust with that responsibility.� Knecht will next coach the Warriors at the Angeles National Golf Course in the Sea Beggars Invitational on Feb. 15-16. “Our goal is to be the premier small college golf program in America,� he said. “Although I am pleased with our progress to date, we need a new coach to take us to the next level. “I am confident we will find a Christ-centered coach who can teach the game of golf, but, most of all, will invest in the lives of our student-athletes.� email: mpatton@newspress.com

Homegrown board member

Virgina Alvarez uses her personal experience as inspiration By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF MEMBER

V

irginia Alvarez, the newest member on the Santa Barbara Unified school board, still keeps her San Marcos High School Royal Award in a special place many years after being recognized for her work. Ms. Alvarez, who’s also the chief business official for the Montecito Union School District, was a student at San Marcos and later served as a classified employee. Her strong connection to Santa Barbara Unified is what brought her back to the district as a board member. “I knew my professional experience coupled with my personal experience would make a good contribution to the schools,” Ms. Alvarez told the News-Press. “It’s one thing to be told about something, but it’s another thing to have experienced it.” After immigrating with her family, she joined the district as a fifth-grade student at McKinley Elementary School. She was the only non-native speaker in her class, but she knew how to read well in her native language. “A big difference is that some of our students may not have that strong foundation, so that’s why they struggle to grasp that subject matter,” Ms. Alvarez said. “We need to make an effort to improve our processes to make sure these students have the strong foundation of making sure they know how to read, write and do mathematics at a young age.” As she advanced through high school, she took classes in finance, learning skills she now uses everyday as the chief business official at the Montecito Union School District. But she performs tasks not covered in her master’s degree. “Don’t be surprised if you see me helping with recess duty or drop off (for students),” Ms. Alvarez said.

Virgina Alvarez, the newest member of the Santa Barbara Unified School District board, spent her youth in the district as well.

“Given that it’s a one-school district, we do what it takes. Wherever we’re needed, that’s what we do.” She has worked at Montecito Union for about 20 years, and she loves it. “At Montecito Union, I’m very, very fortunate because when you go to a job that you love, it’s not work,” Ms. Alvarez said. “I love the teachers, and I love the people I work with.” She confirmed with her boss and co-workers that she could run for Santa Barbara Unified’s board. She keeps the two positions separate. But her family’s approval was what she loved most. “The best outcome of this race is that my kids were my biggest fan,” she said. Her kids, young adults in their early 20s, helped her campaign every weekend. They took to social media and went canvassing for support. Family is important to Ms. Alvarez, and part of the reason she got into education. She grew up living with teachers and watching her aunt grade papers. “My formative years were all public education. That became a very important component of my life,” Ms. Alvarez said. “Public education is very very important in society,” she said. “If society focused more on public education, we would be so much better. It’s a place for everyone.” She hopes to encourage higher levels of achievement in Santa Barbara Unified. Right now, she’d like to get students back into the schools when the metrics allow the district to reopen. She said she believes it can happen if the community follows the recommendations of health officials. Ms. Alvarez wants the public to know that she is ready to listen and encourages the community to email her at valvarez@sbunified. org or write a letter. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Allan Hancock College students depict nature in new online exhibit By GERRY FALL NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

COURTESY PHOTO

“First Course” by Janet Ford is among the photos in a new virtual exhibit featuring works by Allan Hancock College students.

Photography students in Allan Hancock College’s Community Education program are showcasing their talent in a new Wilding Museum of Art and Nature exhibit. The online exhibit, titled “Looking Beyond the Pandemic,” is a collaboration between the Solvang museum and Community Education instructor Michael Messina’s adult learning photography class. It features

student photography depicting nature and wildlife scenes. Their work was created while Mr. Messina and his students, many of whom are older adults and lifelong learners, adapted to online learning amid the COVID19 pandemic. “Over these past five years as I taught photography skills to older adult learners, I have learned how much they look forward to class each week and how important it is for them to connect as a community of lifelong learners,” Mr. Messina said. “I knew I could

not abandon these wonderful people and must somehow step up to the plate and do what I could to make our ‘lockdown’ a better place to be.” With the help of one of his technologically-savvy students, Mr. Messina learned how to use the online meeting tool Zoom, and his class was able to produce the photos included in the exhibit. The work captures images taken as close as the students’ own backyards, as far as Africa, and as deep as beneath the ocean’s surface.

Photographers featured in the exhibit include Eileen Armijo, Kathleen Curtis, Leo Dewinter, Peggy Dewinter, Janet Ford, Sean Kellythorne, Hoan Kessler, Laurie Pemberton, Terii Richard. Sheryl Rosness, Mary Ann Veroski, Ron Walsh, Kathleen Yingst and Chris Young. The exhibit is a juried exhibition and will run through Feb. 7.

David Selberg, CEO of Hospice of Santa Barbara. “Our series aims to provide the community with the right tools necessary as we continue to navigate through the pandemic.” Hospice of Santa Barbara established the “illuminate Speaker Series” to address struggles during the pandemic. “As we all know, people are reeling from this world-wide crisis emotionally, socially, and economically,” Hospice noted in a news release. “People have shared a variety of intense feelings they are experiencing during this time. Among them are fear, deep sadness, anxiety, grief, uncertainty over the present and what the future holds, vulnerability, despair, anger, hopelessness.

UCSB clinic launches The Healing Center By GERRY FALL NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Hosford Counseling & Psychological Services Clinic, based at UCSB Gevirtz School, has launched a new service. It’s called The Healing Center. The center is a specialty clinic that provides psychological services for black clients of all ages. In addition to general stressors and life issues, the Healing Center acknowledges the effects of racial trauma, marginalization, and injustice on social and health disparities among black communities. All services are provided by black therapists who have an interest in addressing the negative toll of racism. The Healing Center was launched in October, thanks to a generous gift from Carrie Towbes

and John Lewis. The center has four black doctoral student therapists ready to provide services to the black community in all of California. (All sessions remain on Zoom during COVID-19.) The clinic is also developing webinars about racial stress and other topics. Dr. Alison Cerezo, a colleague in the UCSB Department of Counseling, Clinical and School Psychology, helped to launch the new clinic. “I am honored to help get the Healing Center off the ground,” Dr. Cerezo said in a news release. “In 2020 alone, we witnessed several high-profile murders of black Americans related to police brutality, part of a much longer history of anti-black violence in the U.S. At the same time, coronavirus put a spotlight on

the ongoing health inequities that disproportionately affect black communities. What’s worse, there has been little to no formal efforts at the federal level to stop these injustices. “Healing Center aims to provide a safe, culturally responsive space for black residents to get mental health support, and for that support to be provided by black therapists who have a keen understanding of the ways anti-black racism operates in U.S society. Further, it’s critical that black psychologists-in-training have a community of black therapists with whom they can learn from and thrive.” To get help at the new Healing Center, email the clinic at hosford@ucsb.edu. email: gfall@newspress.com

Bank of America supports nonprofits in SB, Ventura counties By GERRY FALL NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

To support communities amid the ongoing pandemic, Bank of America has awarded a total of $842,000 to 25 nonprofits in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. The focus has been to alleviate the unprecedented impacts on basic needs, affordable and accessible housing, and jobs, according to the bank’s news release. Bank of America also donated 420,000 personal protective equipment masks to the region’s essential agricultural workers. That included 400,000 masks to Santa Barbara and Ventura County farm workers as part of a collaboration with California’s Department of Emergency Services to distribute one million masks throughout the state. The bank’s philanthropic efforts include work with United Way of Santa Barbara and

Ventura counties, Foodbank of Santa Barbara County, Food Share of Ventura County, Cabrillo Economic Development Corp. and Women’s Economic Ventures. “While all of us have been impacted by the ongoing pandemic, the nonprofit sector continues to experience unprecedented demand for critical services to support vulnerable populations such as seniors and communities of color who are disproportionately impacted. As a major company and employer, Bank of America recognizes the responsibility we have to support our local communities however we can,” said Midge Campbell-Thomas, Ventura and Santa Barbara market president for the Bank of America. “By directing philanthropic capital locally, we can address the most immediate needs while helping our most vulnerable communities become more

resilient and positioned for success moving forward.” Beyond grants and donations, local bank employees also found ways to give back through virtual volunteerism in 2020. They dedicated more than 20,000 hours to local causes and projects of their choice with the support of the company’s longstanding policy to grant each employee two hours of paid time off per week. As an essential business, Bank of America also invested in the health and economic stability of its own employees this year by raising its minimum hourly pay to $20 and expanding family benefits. The expansion included increasing childcare reimbursement to $100 per day, providing meal subsidies and giving supplemental bonus pay to essential workers serving the daily banking needs of clients. email: gfall@newspress.com

Application deadline extended for Goleta Planning Commission GOLETA — The city of Goleta has extended its application deadline to fill vacancies on its five-member Planning Commission. Applications will be accepted until Tuesday, as city officials cite the opportunity as a way to get involved in city government and have “a meaningful, tangible and lasting influence on the shape of our community, now and in the future,” read a city news release. The Planning Commission deals with land use issues in the city of Goleta. The commission’s role is to review and take appropriate action on discretionary development applications and to make recommendations to the Goleta City Council regarding any proposed legislative actions, including the city’s general plan

and its implementation. “The Planning Commission plays an important role in our City which is still young. There is so much work to be done to carry out the vision laid out in the General Plan,” Goleta Mayor Paula Perotte said in a statement. Members are appointed to a four-year term. The commission meets on the second and fourth Mondays of each month starting at 6 p.m. Compensation is $100 per meeting. “I have served on (the) Planning Commission since 2016. During that time, I have developed a much greater understanding of the issues that make a difference in the daily experiences of my neighbors and the community as a whole,” Katie Maynard, current planning

commissioner, said in a statement. “I have learned how much the decisions we make can affect the environment, affordable housing, economic development, and the patterns of life in Goleta. I have been a part of an effort to create foundational documents such as our New Zoning Ordinance that sets the guidelines for planning and development moving forward.” Applications are being accepted until 5 p.m. on Tuesday. To be eligible, one must reside within city limits and be a qualified elector. For additional information, email cityclerkgroup@cityofgoleta. org.

LIFE

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS

“The opportunity is often lost by deliberating.� — Publilius Syrus

ARIES — Discussions with those close to you could lead to the discovery of new concepts, perhaps from foreign cultures. You will want to learn more about them, Aries, as will your friends. You might even decide to plan a trip to a place where you could expand your knowledge of this new interest. Any trip planned today should go smoothly and be quite rewarding. Don’t hesitate. TAURUS — Emotions that run very deep should bring you a lot of satisfaction today, Taurus. Relationships of all kinds could also be especially promising. A romantic relationship may be consummated, revitalized, or moved to the next level of commitment. Close friendships might become closer because of your mutual interests. Happiness and satisfaction should reign in the home today. GEMINI — Relations with neighbors, siblings, or other relatives could get a shot in the arm now, Gemini. For some, your recent business successes cause them to get on the bandwagon. For others, your personal growth could increase their admiration of you. Partnerships of any kind formed today show great promise of success. These could be business, personal, or romantic. Don’t be shy. Go with the flow. CANCER — Success in your work continues to bring good fortune your way. Today you might get reassurance that this isn’t a flash in the pan. You’re likely to be financially secure for a long time. You’re probably feeling strong and robust, full of energy and stamina, and ready to take on just about any challenge. Move ahead, Cancer, but move with caution. You’re never too prosperous to be careful. LEO — As you continue to enjoy success and good fortune, your self-confidence grows, Leo, and so you’re likely to attract new relationships with fascinating people in exciting fields who share your vision and interests. These could be business associations, close friendships, or new romantic partners. Relax and be yourself. You don’t have to impress anyone. They probably already like you. VIRGO — Today your sensitivity joins forces with practicality. Intuitive insights could come to you today, and you might express your new ideas to others, Virgo. Don’t be surprised if they accept them. Your unconscious mind is on a far more practical track than you may assume. Make use of this ability while you can because it might not +*#!2 +1$)"$be so clear tomorrow. Go with the

flow. LIBRA — Today shows the promise of being a very busy yet fulfilling day, Libra. Enterprises involving corporations, churches, or other groups in your community are likely to benefit from your participation. You combine intuition with practicality in everything you do. You’re especially communicative and good at dealing with others. Don’t be surprised if public recognition comes your way. SCORPIO — Your financial success over the past several weeks may seem too good to be true, Scorpio. It might make yet another leap forward. This should make you happy. It also could bring up your insecurity over whether or not this cycle will continue. It probably will for a while. It might be a good idea to save or invest you money, just so you can feel more secure in the future. SAGITTARIUS — You’re flying high at this point, Sagittarius, enjoying the success you’ve achieved over the past several weeks. Today you could accomplish yet another goal, adding to your feeling of accomplishment. You might plan a vacation or perhaps return to college. The expansion of your horizons hasn’t left you complacent. Instead, you want to continue expanding. This is a very positive development. Go for it. CAPRICORN — Today you might have insights as to how to advance your career. These could come your way through dreams, sudden revelations, or perhaps visions. Don’t hesitate to put them into action simply because of the unorthodox way they come to you, Capricorn. Some of the most progressive and successful ideas have come because the inventor had a vivid dream. Write down your insights and go for it. AQUARIUS — All your relationships should be especially warm and supportive now, Aquarius. This is a great day to form a business, personal, or romantic partnership. Business partnerships made now should be successful, while committed romantic bonds entered into today could well last for a long time. Be open, honest, and unafraid to speak your mind. You might find that others share your thoughts. PISCES — Everything should be going great for your career, Pisces. It may all seem too good to be true, but rest assured that it’s real. Events could involve a job change, promotion, raise, or the opportunity to strike out on your own. Don’t kid yourself. A lot of challenges lie ahead, but this should all lead to great personal satisfaction in the long run. Go for it.

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.

Continued from Page A1 To achieve herd immunity, Dr. Do-Reynoso said the department has heard that anywhere from 60% to 80% of people must be vaccinated. Dr. Fitzgibbons with Cottage Health shared an update on hospitalizations in the county. “Things have clearly escalated with breathtaking speed,” she said. Dr. Fitzgibbons explained that in these last several days, Cottage Health moved to the border of potentially needing surge beds. She also addressed the “0% ICU capacity” discussion. “That does not mean if we drop below 0%, that the doors close or that no one else gets into the ICU emergency room,” she said. “What it means is beyond that capacity, we’re going to have to take care of patients with less staff, less resources and possibly less physical beds. Those are the challenges — the buzzword is surge ...That’s what we mean.” Dr. Fitzgibbons said a statistic that is worrisome for her is that currently, around 80% of the patients in Santa Barbara County in the ICU are sick with COVID19, which is a large increase compared to only a small fraction of COVID-19 patients in the ICU in November. Moving on to the vaccine, the infectious disease specialist said that it’s important to remember that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are mRNA vaccines. This is important because, first of all, no one can catch COVID-19 from this vaccine. Secondly, with this technology, a person’s own cell takes the mRNA and makes a protein

Continued from Page A1 active staff cases, with no active resident cases or COVID-related resident deaths, according to the Santa Barbara County Community Data Dashboard. The dashboard does not report the exact numbers under 11 other than zero, so fewer than 11 cases means that there is at least one positive case. Buena Vista Care Center, as of Jan. 5, has 12 active staff cases and fewer than 11 COVID-related resident deaths. Casa Dorinda has fewer than 11 active staff cases as

to help the immune system recognize that the virus’s protein (called a spike protein) does not belong there. “MRNA technology was not invented this year. It’s over a decade in the making,” Dr. Fitzgibbons said. “It’s new, but not unknown. It’s technology that has been developed, but was waiting for the right disease.” This is also important because mRNA technology can be modified to address new variants. To further increase confidence in the vaccine, she also pointed out that side effects turned out to be rare in the clinical trials. Dr. Fitzgibbons also noted the vaccines are proven to be very protective within 12 days of the first dose and short-term risks are mostly local injection site pain. She added that severe allergic reactions are very rare. However, she reminded participants that doctors and the general public don’t know the following: how long the protection from the two doses lasts; whether any late side effects will be seen past the five-month period of what we do know; whether any newer variants will show resistance to the vaccine; or if the vaccine will protect against asymptomatic infection. Referring to the last point, Dr. Fitzgibbons said, “As we try to bend that curve, we really need to know that before there are any recommendations to stop masking, stop social distancing to stop any other good public health efforts.” She concluded by saying she encourages everyone to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
