Mayor Murillo seeks re-election Incumbent hopes to continue engaging residents on the ground By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

KENNETH SONG/NEWS-PRESS

Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown announced Thursday that two people have been arrested in connection with last month’s double homicide that occurred in the unincorporated area of Santa Barbara County, which claimed the lives of a pair of 19-year-old residents. Hope Slason, of Paso Robles, attended the press conference and held a sign calling for justice for one of the victims, 19-year-old Enzo Marino Rastelli.

Arrests made in double homicide

Santa Barbara Mayor Cathy Murillo is ready for round two. After serving as a city council member from 2011 to 2017 and serving as mayor since 2017, she cited many accomplishments she’s proud of, and she hopes to continue using her vast experience to serve community members. “I am really proud of what I’ve been able to accomplish working with so many folks in the city during my first term on a number of important issues,” Mayor Murillo told the News-Press Thursday. “The excitement and early support I’ve received for my re-election are a testament to that.” Since announcing her run for re-election in September 2020, she’s already raised more than $50,000, giving her a leg up against her opponents, Planning Commissioner Deborah Schwartz and James Joyce III, an entrepreneur and ex-staff member for former state Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, D-Santa Barbara. Throughout her four years as mayor, Ms. Murillo said she has prided herself on always delivering balanced budgets and growing operating reserves. She explained that because the city put money

By MITCHELL WHITE The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office announced Thursday that two people have been arrested in connection with last month’s double homicide that occurred in the unincorporated area of county, which claimed the lives of a pair of 19-year-old residents. During a press conference at the Sheriff’s Office headquarters, Sheriff Bill Brown announced that 21-year-old Brian Munoz and 24-year-old Joshua Isaac Vega, both of Santa Barbara, have been taken into custody. Two others, including 32-year-old Jorge Luis Silva Guevara, of Santa Barbara, and a 15-year-old boy, were also arrested as a result of the service of warrants that were served at four different residences in the city of Santa Barbara. Mr. Munoz was arrested on suspicion of two counts of murder, multiple special circumstances, robbery, criminal conspiracy and committing a felony in the benefit of a criminal street gang. He is being held without bail. Mr. Vega was arrested on suspicion of robbery and criminal conspiracy and is being held on $60,000 bail, Sheriff Brown said. Mr. Guevara was arrested on suspicion of narcotics for sale and the juvenile was arrested on outstanding no bail warrant for a violation of probation, he added. The shooting occurred around 12:30 p.m. Jan. 7. The Sheriff’s

succumbed to his injuries and died Jan. 28, Sheriff Brown said. Authorities said detectives logged more than 2,000 hours of investigative time in the case and developed information on the identities of the suspects in the case, who are members of a criminal street gang. The warrants, all served Thursday at four residences within the city of Santa Barbara, were served at residences in the 1900 block of Robbins Street, the 600 block of West Cota Street, the

600 block of North Voluntario Street and the 800 block of San Pascual Street, the sheriff said. The Sheriff’s Office received assistance from a variety of local resources, including the Santa Barbara Police Department and their SWAT team, the Santa Barbara City Fire Department and the Santa Barbara City Animal Control team, who helped secure “a potentially dangerous dog at one of the locations,” said Sheriff Brown. The Sheriff’s Office responded with members of its criminal investigations bureau, special investigations bureau, special enforcement team, its SWAT team, K9 units and a county Air Support helicopter. “The victims of this terrible crime … made some bad choices and fell victim to what is often thought to be a victimless crime, the illicit sale of drugs — in this case marijuana,” Sheriff Brown said. “And I think this case underscores how much of a misnomer that is to think that illicit drugs, including marijuana which is legal in certain circumstances, but if it’s purchased, if it’s sold, if it’s grown, if it’s distributed illegally, it obviously has connections to some very sinister and very dangerous … potential ramifications, and that’s what happened in this case. “Our sympathies go out to the Rasetelli and van der Meulen families and the friends of these

TRAFFIC, CRIME & FIRE BLOTTER LOMPOC — An 18-year-old man was injured in a shooting that occurred Thursday morning in Lompoc, police said. The shooting was reported around 10:45 a.m. in the area of East Airport Avenue and North D Street. Officers located evidence of a shooting nearby and the victim was located two blocks away with a non-life threatening wound to his leg, according to the Lompoc Police Department. The victim, whose identity was withheld, was airlifted to a nearby hospital for treatment. A man, who is considered a

person of interest, was seen leaving the area immediately after the shooting, police said. It was unclear if the shooting, the city’s ninth of 2021, was gangrelated, authorities said. Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to contact police by calling 805-736-2341. — Mitchell White

Harbor Patrol officers rescue at-risk woman SANTA BARBARA — A pair of Santa Barbara Harbor Patrol officers are being commended for their efforts in rescuing a missing

and at-risk woman who walked out to sea last week. Around 4:45 p.m. on Jan. 25, Officers Ryan Kelly and Eli Brower observed from Stearns Wharf a fully clothed subject walking out to sea east of the pier. The officers notified police, requested an ambulance to stage nearby and attempted to contact the subject who was in the surf about waist deep in water, which was approximately 56 degrees at the time, according to a Facebook post by the Santa Barbara Waterfront Department. The subject did not respond to the officers and proceeded to submerge herself in the water and didn’t resurface. Officers Kelly and Brower entered the

water and dragged her onto the beach. She was loaded onto the back of their patrol car and was transported to the ambulance on the nearby bike path, officials said. The subject was identified by a driver’s license photo and physical description and was revealed to be a missing or at-risk person who authorities were trying to locate throughout the day. She was transported by ambulance to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital for further evaluation. “Please join us in commending officers Kelly and Brower for their rapid response and quick thinking,� the Facebook post read. — Mitchell White

two young men who were taken in the early stages of their adult life.â€? Sheriff Brown said the murders were the result of a drug deal that went bad, and he noted that the suspects committed a robbery rip-off. He later clarified that the victims were attempting to sell marijuana to the suspect or suspects and that a half-pound of marijuana was recovered at the scene. “It was obvious that they were involved in the sale ‌ but it was believed, from their perspective, that they were selling a bag of dope,â€? he said. “From the perspective of the suspects in this case, they were there to rip them off and to rob them, and ultimately they killed them.â€? There has yet to be any information that would connect the shooting to any legitimate cannabis operations, and Sheriff Brown did not identify which criminal street gang was involved. “We have a policy of not saying the names, just out of deference to the victims and to not give any kind of credibility to these gangs,â€? he said. “We don’t give that information out.â€? It was also unclear if the shooting was connected to the double homicide that occurred in the city of Santa Barbara on Jan. 3. “The arrests made today send a clear message to members of criminal street gangs, and indeed any other criminal, that would come into Santa Barbara County and commit these types of heinous and evil crimes,â€? Sheriff Brown said. “And I can assure you that if you do commit crimes like this in our county, we will hunt you down after you’ve been identified. We will arrest you, we will put you in jail, and we will bring you to justice.â€? An investigation is continuing, and more suspects may be implicated in the shooting. Additional charges may be filed. Those who have fallen victim to the suspects are asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office by calling 805681-4171. To leave an anonymous tip, visit www.sbsheriff.org. “We’re not interested in the drug dealing in this case. We’re interested in the violent robbery and the potential impact to a group of people that may have committed a series of crimes,â€? Sheriff Brown said. “We’d like to know if this is indeed one of other robberies that may have been committed by these suspects, and we ask for you to contact us.â€?

Love afloat Friendship Center hosts virtual Festival of Hearts

lying phoenixes, floating butterflies and hot air balloons. What do they all have in common? They’re all artistic depictions of this year’s Festival of Hearts theme: “Love is in the air.” The 22nd annual Festival of Hearts began virtually Jan. 25 and is featuring an online auction of 55 pieces of heart art for the benefit of the Friendship Center’s HEART (Help Elders at Risk Today) program. The Friendship Center is located in Montecito and Goleta and offers daytime services and support for aging adults with specialized needs. During a typical year, the center would hold a themed luncheon where local residents could dress up and bid on heart art in person. But due to COVID19, the event is being held as a virtual auction through Saturday. According to Sophia Davis, the center’s advancement and project manager, hosting the event online took some innovation. “Trying to recreate the (luncheon) with a virtual event was a little tricky, but we’re doing it.” Ms. Davis told the News-Press. This year’s theme for heart art was less specific than in years past, Sharon Murrow, the festival’s artist coordinator and “heart wrangler,” told the News-Press. Previous themes such as the “Wizard of Oz” or “California Dreaming” led artists in a specific direction, but this year’s theme allowed room for experimentation. “It allowed (artists) to be a little more flexible in their creativity,” Ms. Morrow said.

Adam Weiss has been named the board president for the Jewish Federation of Greater Santa Barbara.

Jewish Federation chooses president, other officers By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Adam Weiss is the new president of the Board of Directors for the Jewish Federation of Greater Santa Barbara. Mr. Weiss has served on the Federation’s board since 2018 and previously was the vice president and chair of the Jewish Community Relations Committee and chair of the Annual Campaign Committee. He accepted the president position at the Federation’s annual meeting on Jan. 19. Mr. Weiss, 55, has been active in Jewish community affairs on local, regional and national levels since high school in his native New Jersey, and during his subsequent residence in Houston. His college thesis, “The Decline and Rise of Jewish Life in Argentina, 1970-1987,” won Princeton University’s Latin American Studies Program Senior Thesis Prize in 1988. In 2007, he founded a Jewish community umbrella organization in Hudson County, N.J., and spearheaded its eventual incorporation into the Jewish Federation of Northern New

Jersey. A Santa Barbara resident since 2016, Mr. Weiss is an executive recruiter specializing in placing lawyers. “Most of what I do professionally is ‘outreach,’ and that is one of my priorities for the Federation in coming months,” Mr. Weiss said in a statement. “Our Santa Barbara community sees a constant influx of newcomers, and many of them are Jewish. We need to raise our profile among such newcomers, connect with them on a personal level, and help them find their place in the local Jewish community.” “Santa Barbara has been such a welcoming place to discover, and despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Jewish Federation of Greater of Santa Barbara is still the ‘home address’ and hub for discovering Jewish life here,” Mr. Weiss said. Other Federation officers are Alan Levy, immediate past president Lauren Katz, vice President; Joan Rothenberg, treasurer; Ron Zonen, secretary; and Rena Brawer, member-atlarge. email: dmason@newspress.com

LIFE

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS

“Wisdom is oftentimes nearer when we stoop than when we soar.� — William Wordsworth

ARIES — Your focus today is likely to be on learning. Something you’ve wanted to study for a long time may finally be within your grasp. Perhaps money makes this possible, or you’ve finally settled on a workable course of action. Travel might be involved. If you’ve been thinking about going back to school, get everything started today. If you do, you will probably attain what you want. Go for it. TAURUS — If you’ve been investing, look for it to pay off big. Or you could execute a new contract, settle a claim, or even win something. Expect the unexpected where money is concerned. It might have you reeling. In the past few weeks you’ve been releasing a lot of negative energy and clearing the way for today’s good fortune. Plan to have some wonderful dreams tonight as well. GEMINI — Plans for a social event that you were going to host in your home may have to be changed at the last minute. Even so, it should go very well. You’re feeling exceptionally sociable now, Gemini, not to mention romantic and sexy. If you aren’t presently involved, expect to meet more than one possibility. If you are involved, anticipate events that will bring you closer to your partner. CANCER — An unexpected letter or call could totally turn your working situation in a new direction. This can be disconcerting, Cancer, but it’s a very positive and fortunate development. Relations with colleagues should involve new respect and enthusiasm. By the end of the day, you will likely feel very good about the way your life is going. Don’t expect it to be the same as it was this morning! LEO — For you, Leo, relationships with other people should be going so well that you feel more loved than ever. A new friend or perhaps an old one you haven’t seen in a while could suddenly become a powerful part of your life. You’re probably feeling exceptionally innovative and more likely to make a success of whatever new ideas you have. Prepare for a busy and satisfying day. VIRGO — An unexpected opportunity could temporarily throw your life into disorder, Virgo, but you will see from the start that this is a definite stroke of good luck that you shouldn’t let pass. It could involve money, a chance to move to your dream home, or relationships in some way. Whatever it is, you’re +*#!2 +1$)"$ definitely going to be happy about it.

LIBRA — A lot of letters, calls, and other communications could skyrocket you into a new and unexpected space, Libra. If you’ve been thinking of trying your hand at writing or speaking, this is the day to work on it. All signs indicate good fortune will come your way at this time, though it might sneak up on you and leave you a bit disconcerted. Pull yourself together and go for it. SCORPIO — Good fortune continues to come your way, Scorpio, and your life may finally seem to be moving in the direction you wanted. Today, however, you may feel frustrated by a lot of minor, if somewhat bizarre, upsets. Dropping things, losing objects you just had in your hand, forgetting names - just about anything could happen. Try to see the humor in it and stay cool. SAGITTARIUS — All the planets are very fortunately aligned for you, and the coming weeks should be great, Sagittarius. Minor irritations today could make you wonder, though. You might worry that this good fortune won’t last. Don’t work yourself into a panic. This all continues through the next six months. However, you may need to focus sufficient effort if you’d like to make it last for a long time. CAPRICORN — You may wonder why increased intuition has seemed to replace your usual logical self. An unexpected intellectual, spiritual, or metaphysical insight might come to you from another realm. It may seem so profound that you wonder if it really came from you. Write it down in detail. Whatever you come up with is ≼going to keep you in the clouds all day, Capricorn. Don’t trip or bump into anyone! AQUARIUS — You should feel especially sociable today, Aquarius. You might attend one or more events, or perhaps you will choose another type of group activity. Relationships of all kinds should prove satisfying and comforting. Expect to grow closer to the friends you have and meet new friends with whom you share many interests. You continue to meet professional, creative, and financial goals in a big way. PISCES — Today an important goal might reach a point you’ve been aiming at for a long time. All those in your entourage have new respect for you. In fact, Pisces, relationships of all kinds are warm, open, and honest, and you will probably enjoy the company of others immensely now. Romance, in particular, goes well. Feel free to indulge in a little celebration.

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.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 730-2727 or visit this Internet Web site www.servicelinkASAP. com, using the file number assigned to this case 2020-01202. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,� you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,� you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (714) 730-2727, or visit this internet website www. servicelinkASAP.com, using the file number assigned to this case 202001202 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale.

Westmont takes its first serves in tennis Men’s, women’s teams to host Biola in season opener

By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Tennis season opens today at Westmont College, with its women’s team taking the court with a mature and experienced squad and the men’s team serving up the promise of youth. Both teams will play host to Biola, with the women starting at 11 a.m. and the men to follow at 1 p.m. Westmont’s women, ranked No. 19 in the NAIA preseason poll, return their top five players from last year. The Warriors had a No. 18 ranking and 5-1 record in the Golden State Athletic Conference (6-8 overall, with three losses coming to NCAA Division 1 opponents) when last season was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic. “I definitely think the women who were on the team last year have this sense that we were on our way to something big last season,” coach Ellie Johnson said. “I would say that among the returners, they do really feel a sense of unfinished business they want to take care of.” Former Santa Barbara High star Cade Pierson felt so strongly that she took advantage of an NAIA waiver to repeat her senior year. She went 8-2 at No. 1 singles last year, which included wins over two NCAA Division 1 opponents, and was ranked No. 5 in the NAIA. “I don’t think I can describe how grateful I am to have her back and how excited I am to have her,” Johnson said. “She’s an amazing tennis player and has continued to put the time and work in to develop herself as a player, and she for sure feels like she has unfinished business from last season. “She’s excited and grateful for the opportunity she has to play

IQ, a strong passion for the game, and lots of match experience,” Basham said. “He has a very solid overall game which will become even better in the coming months.” Another freshman, Logan Thompson of West Linn, Ore., won the consolation singles at the ITA NAIA West Regionals, “I was really impressed overall with Logan’s strokes and overall demeanor,” Basham said. “Logan strikes his ground strokes really clean, has a big first serve and I strongly believe he is going to reach a very high level in singles

and in doubles.” The Warriors’ other true freshman, Michael Hopkins, is also from Oregon. Brothers Trevor and Taylor Stephens, both of whom redshirted last year, are also joining the roster. Alleman leads a group of returning players that includes last year’s No. 2 singles player, Zachary Prince, No. 4 Benjamin Saito and No. 5 Sebastian Vethan. “I am excited about all 10 of our players,” Basham said. email: mpatton@newspress.com

another season. Most people don’t get that, and she’s definitely not taking that for granted.” Pierson is aiming to become the first player in Westmont history to win four Golden State Athletic Conference women’s singles championships. She won last year’s ITA NAIA Arthur Ashe Leadership & Sportsmanship Award. “Through the uncertainty of the times right now, I know the rest of the team looks to her to see how Cade is handling it and what to do,” Johnson said. “It makes my life a whole lot easier to have Cade, and I genuinely enjoy being around her as a person. “She’s trained hard. She never stopped training hard. I think she’s going to be a force to be reckoned with this season. I have no doubt she will add to her collection of awards and accomplishments.” The Warriors also return juniors Emily Peterson, Rachal

Jackson and Sidney Lowry. They are actually redshirt sophomores in eligibility because of last year’s shortened season. “Sid is super hard-working and is always wanting to push to the next level,” Johnson said. “She’s really learning how to play within herself and how to add variety to her game.” Also back is sophomore Christine Hemry, who has redshirt freshman eligibility. True freshmen Logan Jackson and Olivia Madarang have also joined the roster. The Westmont men also return their No. 1 singles player, redshirt junior Matt Alleman. He is the only upperclassman on the roster, but a highly rated freshman class gives Mark Basham high hopes for his 12th season as the Warriors’ coach. “I believe they are all a good fit for our Westmont community and our tennis team,” he said of his four recruits.

At No. 9, he was the highestseeded Warrior during this fall’s ITA NAIA West Regional in San Diego. “Callen is a talented lefty with lots of passion for the sport, while also being a strong student,” Basham said. Basham also recruited the area’s top high school player, Cate School’s Ethan Ha, who won three Tri-Valley League singles championships. He also led the Rams to the 2017 CIF-Southern Section Division 3 semifinals. Ha and Hein combined as a doubles team at last fall’s ITA NAIA West Regional to upset their way to the doubles semifinals, beating the No. 3 seed in the quarterfinals.

Jensen homers in first at-bat in season-opening defeat By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

John Jensen had a sterling debut with the Westmont College baseball team, but a rusty Warriors’ pitching staff was battered by Lewis-Clark State in Thursday’s 13-2, seasonopening defeat at Russ Carr Field on Thursday. Jensen, a former Santa Barbara High and Santa Barbara City College star, lined an opposite-field home run just inside the left-field foul pole in his first at-bat as a Warrior. The senior outfielder, who transferred to Westmont from UC Irvine, went 3-for-4. But Westmont, ranked 13th in the NAIA, managed just one more run against three Lewis-Clark pitchers. Simon Reid tripled to deep right and scored on a single by Drew Bayard in the fourth inning. Reid also doubled while going 2-for-4, while Bayard also went 2-for-4. The Warriors’ other seven batters were a collective 1-for-22. Lewis-Clark, ranked 24th in the NAIA, overwhelmed five Westmont pitchers with home runs by Jack Johnson, Riley Way and Aidan Nagle. Johnson and Way had three hits

apiece, while Dalton Harum drove in four runs with a triple and a single to help senior Tallon Thomason get the win. Westmont’s five pitchers walked eight batters, allowed 11 hits, and twice gave up a run on a wild pitch. The Warriors will return to action today with a 2 p.m. home game against Saint Katherine.

Westmont’s Bienias wins swimming honor Westmont College’s Morgan Bienias was named the Pacific Collegiate Swim Conference Swimmer of the Week for her accomplishments last weekend in a meet with Biola and Simpson. Bienias set a school record in the 1650-yard freestyle with a time of 18:13.69, more than seven seconds faster than her previous time. She also nearly set a personal best with a time of 2:14.98 in the 200-yard backstroke. “It has been a challenging season so far and to have such a great meet was a big encouragement,” coach Jill Jones Lin said. email: mpatton@newspress.com

Continued from Page A1 steps to fight climate change, including the recent vote by the council requiring all-electric new construction in the city. She founded Santa Barbara’s new Sustainability and Resilience Department as well. A main focus of hers in her next term is addressing the challenge of homelessness, which includes helping homeless individuals find storage space for their belongings. She said she also wants to continue implementing things such as pop-up day center services she helped create. And Mayor Murillo helped craft SBACT’s Common Agenda, a strategic plan for addressing homelessness. “What sets me apart from others is that I spend my personal time working on these challenges in person,� she said. “I do street outreach to the homeless myself, and I did it during the pandemic as well. “I will keep trying to find real basic solutions to help the homeless for their sake and then to relieve the pressure on the community.� The mayor said that when the city receives reports on homeless individuals, she’s often the one making first contact with them, bringing food and resources and asking them what they need before letting them know professionals are on the way. “I’m proud of that kind of personal touch that I bring to this job,� she said. Mayor Murillo added that she does the same kind of work for at-risk youth in the community, especially during the pandemic and in light of the recent uptick in violence. Every two weeks, Mayor

Murillo said she hops on a call with a group of people from youth-serving organizations, and they inform her of what’s going on in the schools and on the street, including gang activity. She’s also the chair of the South Coast Youth Safety Partnership Policy Team. “Youth work is challenging because poverty causes a lot of these family problems,â€? she said. “Our community has very low-income people. They’re the people that work in our service industry. ‌ They’re my neighbors here on the Westside. I never forget them.â€? Mayor Murillo led the council’s decision in closing down State Street to vehicular traffic and allowed parklets to be built so restaurants could operate. She added that the city’s economic development director will be coming out with an economic development plan for the city, potentially as soon as next month, as businesses start to reopen. Regarding housing, she directed city staff to find ways to create more housing downtown, including repurposing old commercial buildings and setting inclusionary requirements so affordable units are available. The mayor hopes to revitalize the downtown core when the pandemic ends with family programming and entertainment. “Our residents have endured the pandemic with incredible courage,â€? Mayor Murillo said. “I am pressing public health officials to increase vaccination availability and find ways to reopen various sectors of our economy carefully and steadily. I look forward to reopening our libraries, partnering with school officials to get schools back in service, and making our public spaces safe and accessible for

everyone to enjoy.� Her other accomplishments have included opening up a new children’s library, securing funding and a site for a new police station, updating the city’s Bicycle Master Plan, revitalizing the Westside’s neighborhood association, establishing a Project Labor Agreement policy for city public works projects and taking steps to implement oversight of the Santa Barbara Police Department in light of the George Floyd protests. “We want the police department to interact with all of our vulnerable populations and to treat them fairly,� Mayor Murillo said. “That includes people with disabilities, people of color, immigrants no matter their status and members of the LGBTQ community.� She pointed out that she and the city council appointed members of those populations to the Community Formation Commission, which is designed to create the civilian police review system. As the first Latina ever elected to the Santa Barbara City Council, Mayor Murillo hopes to continue working on the ground with the community, move the projects she began four years ago forward and implement new ones in the next four years. “I hope it gives the city voters confidence in me that I have vast experience,� she said. “My second term will continue a focus on bringing transparency and responsiveness in law enforcement, getting small businesses back on their feet as quickly as possible this year, supporting and leading in building affordable housing, and staying focused on solutions for homelessness.� email: gmccormick@newspress. com

Post offices closed on Presidents Day

Los Padres to begin prescribed burning Los Padres National Forest officials have announced they’ll begin their annual prescribed burning operations on the forest over the next few months. When favorable weather is present, specific project locations and dates will be shared on the Forest’s Facebook and Twitter accounts. The goals are to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire to people and communities, create conditions that offer a safer and more effective wildfire response, foster more resilient ecosystems and minimize the effects of large wildfires on the landscape, according to a news release.

Fire managers will follow a burn plan that outlines the “prescription� or environmental conditions such as temperature, wind, fuel moisture, ventilation and relative humidity that need to be present before the project begins. When the criteria are met, crews will implement, monitor and patrol each burn. The program will continue through the winter and spring as permitted by the weather and other environmental factors. Prescribed fires are intended to reduce vegetation, such as needles, small plants, brush and small trees that can carry fire from the forest floor into the treetops. For more information, contact Fuels Management Specialist Rebecca Dykes at 805-961-5764.

In observance of Presidents Day, post offices will be closed for retail transactions Feb. 15. There also will be no regular residential or business deliveries, but priority mail express will be delivered on Feb. 15. Normal delivery and collection schedules will resume Feb. 16. Stamps are available at most grocery, pharmacy and convenience stores. For 24/7 access to most postal products and services, go to www.usps. com, where you can look up a zip code, track a package, buy stamps, hold mail, print postage online, submit change of address, schedule a package pickup and find USPS locations, including self-service kiosks.

LOCAL FIVE-DAY FORECAST AGUIRRE, Clarice

02/24/1933 - 01/26/2021 Dear Lord, Thank you for welcoming Clarice into your paradise, where she was reunited with her beloved husband, Leroy Aguirre, whom she wed in her hometown of Santa Barbara and her parents Elias and Cecelia Escobar and brothers, David and Alfred. Clarice graduated from Santa Barbara High School. From there she went into Healthcare as a Nurse’s Aide and as a Physical Therapist Assistant. Later in life she was a loving caregiver to countless patients. Clarice’s generosity had no limits and was always without hesitation. She enjoyed reading and country music, but her creative side showed no boundaries as she was a writer of short stories, built dollhouses, engaged in woodcarving and was able to create anything out of nothing.. Her love for travel took her as far north to British Columbia, Canada and as far south as Mexico and Texas. The majority of her travel was up and down the west coast. We are pretty sure if heaven has coffee, she will be sitting there with her lifetime friend Nina, as well as family and friends drinking pot after pot as they have much to catch up on. Clarice may not have access to a cell phone or social media but we know that she will VWLOO Ă€QG D ZD\ WR UHDFK RXW WR KHU FKLOGUHQ 'HQLVH /HH (OHQD 5LFKDUG DQG KLV ZLIH &DUULH OHWWLQJ WKHP NQRZ WKDW WKRXJK VKH PD\ EH JRQH VKH ZLOO DOZD\V Ă€QG D ZD\ WR be with them and her ten grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Susan Patricia Parent passed away at her Santa Barbara home on January 15, 2021 following a courageous sixmonth battle with cancer.
