California Dems propose gas rebate Plan would give taxpayers $400 to combat price hikes By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Hollister Ranch coastal access delayed again

State panel says environmental impact report is needed By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

An April 1 deadline for completion of the public coastal access at Hollister Ranch will not be met, the California Coastal Commission has determined. Instead, a full programmatic environmental impact report will need to be compiled regarding the potential impacts of the public access project. The State Agency Team will select a consultant and expects the process to take about 18 months before the EIR and revised Hollister Ranch Coastal Access Program plan will be brought back before the California Coastal Commission for review, according to a March 1 briefing report. “This additional analysis will not only increase the public’s

confidence that access won’t harm sensitive resources, it will enable the commission to better withstand legal challenges in the likely event that program approval is litigated,” Sarah Christie, legislative director for the California Coastal Commission said during a meeting earlier this week. Ms. Christie also said the state had not yet made it clear “on how to secure public access across this private property” — thus resulting in the project missing the upcoming April 1 deadline. “While this is a momentary setback in the timeline for access, we believe it will accrue in the long run to a more robust and successful outcome,” said Ms. Christie. At the heart of the issue is legislation signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2019 that

was supposed to open some of the beaches at Hollister Ranch — 14,000-plus-acre subdivision that includes about 8.5 miles of publicly-owned shoreline along the Santa Barbara Channel with no land-based access for the public. The road into the ranch is private property, thus blocking the Gaviota Coast beaches from public use. Sen. Monique Limón, D-Santa Barbara, championed the legislation that was meant to open the beaches and said she was “disappointed” in the additional delay. “The original intent of my bill was to ensure a balance between equitable access and protections for the environment,” Sen. Limón told the News-Press in an interview. “This was always Please see ACCESS on A3

A group of Assembly Democrats unveiled a proposal Thursday to provide $400 rebates for California taxpayers to combat the skyrocketing gas prices and other rising costs. “Soaring gas prices are hitting Californians at the pump. We know our constituents are hurting right now,” Assemblymember Cottie Petrie-Norris, D-Irvine, said during a press conference. “We know too many Californians are struggling to make ends meet right now. We are here to offer help.” The proposed $400 per individual would be equivalent to a “one-year gas tax holiday” for most Californians, Assemblymember Petrie-Norris said. The Democrats proposed the rebate — as opposed to a moratorium of the gas tax as Republicans have suggested — so as not to disrupt infrastructure projects the fuel tax funds. Money for the rebate would come from California’s budget surplus, the lawmakers said. Additionally, the Democrats contended this rebate would help Californians as other costs,

A bipartisan California bill would allow parents to hold large social media companies liable for knowingly allowing a platform to be addictive to children and ultimately causing harm. The bill from Assemblymembers Jordan Cunningham, R-San Luis Obispo, and Buffy Wicks, D-Oakland, creates a duty on large social media companies, such as TikTok or Meta, to ensure their platforms are not addictive for minors. Parents, guardians and the state attorney general would be able to bring legal action against a company that allegedly violated this duty that led to a child’s harm. “We’ve had kids over the last two years online and using social media apps at unprecedented levels, and we’re seeing unprecedented hospital admittance, unprecedented depression, eating disorders, suicidal ideations. There’s a real crisis among our youth,” Assemblymember Cunningham, whose district includes northern Santa Barbara County, told the NewsPress.

AG Bonta signs letter in support of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF-WRITER

California Attorney General Rob Bonta joined several other Democratic attorneys general in a letter in support of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, the president’s pick for the U.S. Supreme Court. “Judge Jackson is a highly qualified legal mind, who has been at the forefront of the legal field for decades and will serve our nation well as the first black woman Supreme Court Justice,” the attorneys general said. “We strongly believe that Judge Jackson exhibits the ‘extraordinary qualifications, character, experience and integrity’ that President Biden stated were some of the key qualities he was seeking in the next Supreme Court justice.” President Joe Biden announced Judge Jackson as his historic pick for the Supreme Court bench earlier this year, fulfilling a campaign promise to nominate a black woman to the nation’s highest court. Justice Stephen Breyer is retiring from the court. Judge Jackson, 51, sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. She is an alumna of Harvard University, both for undergraduate and law school, and

has clerked for Justice Breyer. “Judge Jackson will bring to the bench extensive legal experience from her work as a public defender, as vice chair and commissioner on the U.S. Sentencing Commission, as a federal district judge, and most recently as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit,” the attorneys general said in the letter dated March 15. “This administration’s commitment to a judiciary that

reflects America’s diversity is worthy of recognition today and in America’s history books for generations to come,” they continued. In all, 23 Democratic attorneys general signed the letter. Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Alex Padilla have met with Judge Jackson and have lauded her background. Sen. Feinstein said on social media Thursday Judge Jackson is

a “remarkable nominee and will make a very strong Supreme Court justice.” “Judge Jackson is an outstanding nominee with nearly a decade of judicial experience and exceptional legal credentials,” said Sen. Padilla in a statement. “I’m impressed by Judge Jackson’s commitment to the rule of law, her long record of public service and her clear understanding of how the law affects people’s everyday lives. Her historic nomination to be the first black woman and the first federal public defender on the Supreme Court will advance the fight for equal justice.” Judge Jackson previously received bipartisan support from the U.S. Senate. But Republicans are still predictably opposed to or cautious about her nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court. “When Judge Jackson appeared last year before the Judiciary Committee, I was troubled by aspects of her record, including her record on crime and criminal justice,” Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., said in a statement. “I will be thoroughly reviewing Judge Jackson’s record from top to bottom and look forward to speaking with her.”

Warriors battle against Generals in tennis By JACOB NORLING

WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

The Westmont women’s tennis team (4-6, 2-0 GSAC) continued to test itself against top talent on Wednesday, when the Warriors hosted No. 4 Louisiana State Alexandra (10-0) in Montecito. The fourth-ranked Generals defeated the Warriors 6-1 as Westmont continued to sharpen themselves. “I’m really happy with the level we played at,” said Westmont associate head coach Cade Pierson. “Going in, we knew this was a top team in the NAIA; it’s no secret. We knew we had to bring in, and I thought we did. I felt like a lot of the matches were close although the scores might’ve not made it seem that way. “I think we can take a lot of confidence from this match knowing we went toe-to-toe with this team. I hope our team finds confidence from this match, while also staying hungry and demanding more of themselves going forward.” In doubles play, the Generals swept the Warriors, with the closest match taking place on court one. At number one, Rachal Jackson and Christine Hemry fell to Olivia Scattini and Annemart Kleijn 6-4. “In doubles I thought our first team played really well, ‘’ Pierson said. “It was tough playing from behind the whole match, but their opponents really had to step it up to remain out in front. Our number one team played a really solid match, and it just came down to a couple points in the end.”

In singles play, the Generals took the first five matches and clinched the match relatively quickly. Some notable scores included Annemart defeated Hemry 6-4, 6-2 on court four, and Maria Alvarez defeating Jackson 6-2, 6-4 on court one. On court two, Emily Peterson fell to Alicia Romero 6-2, 6-3. Westmont’s lone win of the day was on court three, which ended up being the final match left to be decided. On three, Francesca Aguirre out-willed Scattini 6-3, 6-4 to put her team on the board. “Francesca really stood out,” noted Pierson. “It was a standard match for her. She had a great first set, and then her opponent really stepped up and challenged her in the second. Francesca remained composed and stuck it out and that’s what you can expect from her.” Westmont returns to action with a pair of GSAC matches this weekend at home. On Friday, the Warriors host OUAZ (5-4, 2-0 GSAC), and on Saturday, the club hosts Arizona Christian (2-7, 1-1 GSAC). “We should be proud of our performance today,” Pierson said, “while also finding balance in recognizing what we need to do to get better. On top of that, being able to have some shortterm memory loss and let go of the feeling is important. We have to be happy with our effort, but never satisfied in losing.” Jacob Norling is the sports information assistant at Westmont College. email: sports@newspress.com

Westmont women’s golf team places third at invitational By RON SMITH WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

MOORPARK — The second day of the California Lutheran Invitational proved challenging for the Westmont women’s golf team, which slipped from second place after the first day to finish third after day two. After posting a team score of 327 on Monday, the Warriors shot 342 on Tuesday for a combined 693. On the second day, Occidental matched Westmont’s Monday score and moved ahead of the Warriors by one stroke to claim second place. “The Westmont women’s team is clearly trending (upward) and the results are showing this,” said Westmont head coach Josh Ault. “So we will just continue to trust the process and believe in what we are doing as a team. Sure, it stings a little but it’s a good reminder that every shot counts. “It was an impressive showing, and there is more (that was) gained than lost,” noted Ault. Freshman Charlie Bloom

led the Warriors on Tuesday, shooting a six-over 78 for a twoday total of 160. She finished tied for fifth place, four strokes behind Brianna McNelly of Whitworth (Wash.). McNelly entered the day tied with Bloom, but produced a two-over par 74 to claim the first-place trophy. The Warriors entered just three men in the invitational and as a result were not eligible for a team score. Mason Mancasola recorded rounds of 78 and 76 to finish with a two-day total of 154 (10 over) and a tie for 19th place out of 58 golfers. Brock Yurkovich posted a first-round score of 83, but then dropped six strokes on the second day to finish with total of 160. Both the men’s and women’s team will be back in action on March 28 and 29 when they compete in the San Diego Christian Invitational at the Singing Hill Golf Resort.

Continued from Page A1 the intent: to balance public access while protecting our environment.” Sen. Limón pointed specifically to the more than 60 miles of Gaviota coastline, calling it “unacceptable” that it is the least accessible stretch of coast in California with less than 2 miles of publicly accessible shore. Hollister Ranch is part of the Gaviota Coast. “I certainly am disappointed, but I am hopeful that the state agencies will work as expeditiously as they can to be able to get public access to a public beach which is ensured by our state constitution,” Sen. Limón said. “I continue to be very committed to understanding what this state does to meet its constitutional obligation to provide access to the public.” The Hollister Ranch Owners Association mounted a legal challenge in 2020 to the project, contending it “threatens to eliminate the ranch’s right to privacy and will upend the longtime conservation efforts, destroying a host of constitutional rights in the process.” However, the lawsuit, filed by the nonprofit Pacific Legal Foundation, was ultimately dismissed. The California Coastal Commission, California Department of Parks and Recreation, California State Coastal Conservancy and the California State Lands Commission have created an inter-agency team to oversee the HRCAP. The issue began in the 1970s when Hollister Ranch owners wanted to construct individual houses on their land parcels. The California Coastal Commission imposed public access provisions along with permits — which were tied up in litigation. The California Legislature later instructed the commission to develop a public access program while allowing homeowners to pay a fee instead of providing direct access. More legal challenges ensued, and the commission was not able to implement the public access

program that was approved in 1982. Sen. Limón’s bill also raised inlieu public access fees to $33,000 for each permit. “As Californians, respect and reverence for our beaches is in our DNA, so much so that we enshrined public beach access into our state Constitution,” Gov. Newsom told the Los Angeles Times when he signed the legislation. “I’ve long fought to protect these public treasures for future generations and to ensure any person can experience their beauty. That won’t change now that I’m governor.” During Wednesday’s California Coastal Commission meeting, the EIR was billed as a measure that could mitigate further legal challenges. “I share the sense of urgency and frustration that you all have that it’s not moving more

quickly, but wow, is it important, particularly when it comes to Hollister Ranch, that we balance that sense of urgency with efficacy,” Meagan Harmon, a California Coastal commissioner and Santa Barbara city councilmember, said. “We’ve seen over time how important it is that we do it right, and we cross the ts and dot the is.” “I’d love it to be done tomorrow, but doing it right is really, I think, the key to ensuring access longterm which I know is our shared goal and the outcome we will achieve,” Commissioner Harmon said. According to the commission’s report, the Hollister Ranch Owners Association “continues to express a desire to provide some level of increased voluntary public access to the Hollister Ranch beaches prior to the HRCAP implementation.”

An advisory committee made up of members from various groups such as the Chumash tribes, Gaviota Coast Conservancy, and the Guadalupe Dunes Center has been established. Homeowners have also invited members of the Chumash tribes to visit the Hollister Ranch beaches, where private ceremonial activities were conducted over the winter solstice, according to the report. The Hollister Ranch dates back to 1869 and has been a working cattle ranch ever since, producing about 1 million pounds of beef each year, the News-Press previously reported. There are about 100 houses on large parcels of agriculturally-zoned land in the area. email: kschallhorn@newspress. com

not include specific details in his speech, a spokesperson later confirmed to the News-Press that the governor’s proposal would “take the form of a tax rebate.” “We look forward to working with the legislature to bring direct relief to Californians who are suffering from high gas prices, a direct result of Putin’s war. We all agree we need to get money back into the hands of Californians,” Erin Mellon, communications director for Gov. Newsom, told the NewsPress when asked about the Democrats’ proposal. Assemblymember PetrieNorris told reporters the group has had conversations with the Governor’s Office and is “looking forward to seeing their proposal and continuing to work with the governor, with leadership and with our colleagues to very quickly get money into the pockets of Californians.” Sen. Monique Limón, D-Santa Barbara, said to expect more proposals to counter rising costs from legislators on either side of the statehouse. She called the proposal introduced by the group of Democrats Thursday a

the global leader in combating climate change, and in order to remain consistent in our values, we should not deter people from utilizing public transportation and clean energy vehicles. Broadly offering this rebate ensures that we lift up all Californians during this difficult time.” Assemblymember PetrieNorris said the legislators have a goal of spring for getting the rebates to taxpayers. Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin, D-Thousand Oaks, called the proposal “much more thoughtful” than a gas tax cut. “A cut in the gas tax has no guarantee that that money will end up in the pockets of consumers,” Assemblymember Irwin said. In his State of the State address earlier this year, Gov. Newsom vowed to “put money back in the pockets of Californians” with his own proposal to combat the rising fuel costs. Although the Democratic chief executive did

“starting conversation.” “What we are trying to discuss in the California State Legislature is how to best help our California constituents with the rising costs, not just of gas but of food, clothing, childcare. Everything has gone up for our California constituents,” Sen. Limón told the News-Press. “In a time when California has some surplus dollars, we’re trying to identify what the best short-term and long-term investments are.” “The proposal that has been presented today has generated a lot of discussions, and I expect the proposal will be part of multiple ideas that get presented, but it will not be the only idea,” Sen. Limón continued. At the federal level, U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla unveiled his own rebate plan Thursday. The California Democrat cosponsored legislation that would require large oil companies importing or producing at least 300,000 barrels of oil per day to pay a per-barrel tax equal to 50% of the difference between the current price and pre-pandemic average price per barrel. Revenue from

this tax would then be used to issue quarterly rebates to most taxpayers under a certain bracket. “It is wholly unacceptable that while the price of oil is going down, prices at the pump remain at an all-time high,” Sen. Padilla said. “Big oil companies are taking advantage of world events and lining their pockets while Californians and working families across the country pay the price — we cannot allow them to continue to manipulate prices.” As of Thursday, California’s average gas price was $5.79. In Santa Barbara County, the average was even higher at $5.80 for regular gas, $6.09 for premium and $6.21 for diesel, according to the American Auto Association. Assemblymember PetrieNorris chairs the Accountability and Administrative Review Committee and sits on the Jobs, Economic Development and the Economy Committee.

When Supervisor Lavagnino took the podium, he emphasized the importance of having a sheriff who makes sure “criminals are going to be arrested, tracked down, prosecuted and put in the most beautiful jail that anyone can possibly imagine.” The supervisor gestured to the Northern Branch Jail behind him and praised the sheriff for his work in getting the jail completed.

¡ ¢ ¢ £ ¡ £ ¤ ¥ ¦ ¦ § MAR 18 / 2022 -- 58091

Notificación temprana y revisión pública de la propuesta Actividad en una Llanura Aluvial o Humedal de 100 años Para: Todas las agencias, grupos y personas interesados Por la presente se notifica que el Departamento de Vivienda y Desarrollo Comunitario (HCD) de California realizará una evaluación según lo requieren los Decretos Ejecutivos 11988 y 11990 de acuerdo con las regulaciones del Departamento de Vivienda y Desarrollo Urbano (HUD) de los EE. UU. Del artículo 55.20 del título 24 de CFR Subparte C Procedimientos para tomar decisiones sobre la administración de llanuras aluviales y protección de humedales. La evaluación sondeará el efecto potencial que las actividades propuestas del HCD conforme al Programa de Subvención en Bloque para el Desarrollo Comunitario para la Recuperación de Desastres (Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery, CDBG-DR) - Rehabilitación y Reconstrucción de Viviendas Ocupadas por sus Propietarios (Owner Occupied Reconstruction and Rehabilitation, OOR) tendrán en áreas de humedales y en la llanura aluvial de 100 años en el Condado de Santa Bárbara. El Programa CDBG-DR OOR concederá subvenciones a todos los propietarios que ocupen viviendas de ingresos muy bajos, bajos y moderados para rehabilitar y reconstruir hogares dañados o destrozados por los incendios forestales y aludes de barro de 2017. La reconstrucción de las viviendas será en el predio original de la propiedad pero no se requiere que sea sobre el plano original. Los hogares serán de uno o dos pisos y ocuparán unos 1,100 a 2,400 metros cuadrados aproximadamente. Toda la reconstrucción cumplirá con los requisitos del código de edificación locales. Las llanuras aluviales son áreas de tierra adyacentes a los ríos, estanques, lagos y la costa que se inundan periódicamente en diferentes puntos de tiempo. Conforme al Decreto Ejecutivo 11988, se alienta a la administración de las llanuras aluviales a lograr la reducción del riesgo de pérdidas por inundaciones, minimizar los impactos de las inundaciones en la seguridad, salud y bienestar humanos, y restaurar y preservar los valores naturales y benéficos de las llanuras aluviales. Los humedales son aquellas áreas que se inundan por agua de la superficie o subterránea con una frecuencia suficiente para apoyar la prevalencia de vida vegetal o acuática que requiere condiciones de suelo saturado o saturado según la temporada para el crecimiento y reproducción. Los humedales generalmente incluyen pantanos, ciénagas, lodazales, praderas húmedas, zonas anegadas por ríos y marismas. El Decreto Ejecutivo 11990 requiere la protección de los humedales debido a los valores beneficiosos que incluyen brindar un hábitat para peces, vida salvaje y plantas, recarga subterránea, reducción de inundaciones, fuente de agua potable y apoyo a actividades culturales y de recreación. Mientras que el proceso de confirmar la cantidad de viviendas y ubicaciones en el Condado de Santa Bárbara está actualmente en proceso, se anticipa que algunas posibles ubicaciones de la solicitud estarán en la llanura aluvial y/o adyacente a humedales. Hay aproximadamente 69,900 acres de llanuras aluviales mapeadas por la Agencia Federal para el Manejo de Emergencias y 46,400 acres de humedales mapeados por el Inventario Nacional de Humedales en el Condado de Santa Bárbara. Esta notificación tiene tres objetivos principales. Primero, las personas que pueden verse afectadas por las actividades en las llanuras aluviales/humedales y aquellos que tienen interés en la protección del ambiente natural deben tener la oportunidad de expresar sus preocupaciones y ofrecer información sobre estas áreas. Se alienta a las personas que brinden comentarios a ofrecer sitios alternativos fuera de las llanuras aluviales/humedales, métodos alternativos que cumplan los mismos objetivos del proyecto y métodos para minimizar y mitigar los impactos. Segundo, un programa de notificaciones públicas adecuado puede ser una importante herramienta de educación pública. La diseminación de información y solicitud de comentarios públicos sobre llanuras aluviales/humedales puede facilitar y mejorar los esfuerzos Federales para reducir los riesgos e impactos asociados con la ocupación y modificación de estas áreas especiales. Tercero, para ser justos, cuando el gobierno Federal determina que participará en acciones que sucederán en llanuras aluviales/humedales, debe informar a quienes pueden tener mayor riesgo o un riesgo continuo. El HCD deberá recibir los comentarios escritos en la siguiente dirección antes del 4 de abril de 2022 (como mínimo un período de comentarios de 15 días calendario que comenzará el día después de la publicación y que finalizará el día 16 después de la publicación), inclusive: California Department of Housing and Community Development, 2020 West El Camino Ave., Suite 200, Sacramento, CA 95833 (916) 263-6461.

The evaluation will assess the potential effect that HCD’s proposed activities under the Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) – Owner Occupied Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Program (OOR) will have on wetland areas and the 100-year floodplain in Santa Barbara County. The CDBG-DR OOR Program will provide grants to very low, low- and moderate-income owner-occupied homeowners to rehabilitate or reconstruct homes damaged or destroyed by the 2017 wildfires and mudslides. Housing reconstruction will be on the original property lot but is not required to be within the original footprint. Homes will be one or two stories and will have footprints ranging from about 1,100 to 2,400 square feet. All reconstruction will abide by local building code requirements. Floodplains are areas of land adjacent to rivers, ponds, lakes and the coast that flood periodically at different points in time. Under Executive Order 11988, management of floodplains is encouraged to achieve reduction in the risk of flood loss, minimization of flood impacts on human safety, health and welfare, and restoration and preservation of the natural and beneficial floodplain values. Wetlands are those areas that are inundated by surface or ground water with a frequency sufficient to support a prevalence of vegetative or aquatic life that requires saturated or seasonally saturated soil conditions for growth and reproduction. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, wet meadows, river overflows, and mud flats. Executive Order 11990 requires protection of wetlands due to their beneficial values including providing habitat for fish, wildlife and plants, groundwater recharge, flood reduction, drinking water source and supporting cultural and recreational activities. While the process of confirming the number of houses and locations in Santa Barbara County is currently in progress, some of the potential application locations are anticipated to be in the floodplain and/or adjacent to wetlands. There are approximately 69,900 acres of Federal Emergency Management Agency-mapped floodplain and 46,400 acres of National Wetland Inventory-mapped wetlands in Santa Barbara County. There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplains/wetlands and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas. Commenters are encouraged to offer alternative sites outside of the floodplain/wetland, alternative methods to serve the same project purpose, and methods to minimize and mitigate impacts. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information and request for public comment about floodplains/ wetlands can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks and impacts associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in floodplains/wetlands, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk. Written comments must be received by HCD at the following address on or before April 4, 2022 (a minimum 15 calendar day comment period will begin the day after the publication and end on the 16th day after the publication): California Department of Housing and Community Development, 2020 West El Camino Ave., Suite 200, Sacramento, CA 95833 (916) 263-6461.

HAGUE, Floyd Ronald

Floyd Ronald Hague went to be with the Lord on February 18, 2022. Born on September 30, 1931 in Watts, California to Claude and Lizzetta Hague, he was one of six siblings (Elaine, Merlin, Clifford, Claude, Beverly). The Hague family relocated to Santa Barbara in the late 1940s where he resided up until his passing. He graduated from Santa Barbara High School in 1950. While a student, Floyd ran track for the SBHS Dons Track and Field team. After high school, Floyd proudly served our country in the United States Army from 7/25/1952 to 1/17/1955. During that time, he met his beautiful wife-to-be Elodia Arredondo in the summer of 1953. After his time in the Army, he re-enlisted but this time in the United States Air Force which he served from 1/18/1955 to 6/30/1960. Now a young husband and father, Floyd started working for the City of Santa Barbara where he worked for 47 years at the Santa Barbara Municipal Golf Course. He retired but went back to work for another 3 more years making it a total of 50 years of service. Floyd’s days would start early in the morning before the sun came up. Although he sacrificed his early morning for work, he made time to spend with his family and be able to be a father to his children and a grandfather to his grandchildren. You could always find him in his backyard listening to his classic music or radio show on his pocket radio while drinking an ice cold can of soda. There he would be tending to his little garden area where he would grow tomatoes, string beans, and flowers or even lifting weights. Floyd took an interest in watching history documentaries especially WWI and WWII. He also enjoyed classic movies of all kinds but sports was his biggest interest. In his younger years he took interest in old school boxing, baseball and basketball but always followed track and field, college and pro football especially the LA Rams. He was the true definition of what a loyal, hard working gentleman and a prime example of what a father and family man should be. He will be greatly missed. Floyd was preceded in death by his wife Elodia Arredondo Hague and his son Richard Hague, Sr. He leaves behind his children (Robert, Ronald, Ryan) grandchildren (Richard and Marcy) and an endless number of family members who adored him for the man he was. There will be a Rosary Service at 10 am followed by the Funeral Mass at 11am on 3/19/2022 at Holy Cross Catholic Church. 1740 Cliff Dr. Santa Barbara, CA 93109 (masks required). Followed by graveside services at Calvary Cemetery.

MONTGOMERY, Sheryl Ann

Sheryl Ann Montgomery, was born July 4, 1945, a truly fitting and prophetic day for the independent “firecracker” and inspiration she would become as a student, teacher, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, spouse and friend, in a way which can only be described as “Sher,” as she is called by all her 5 grandsons. She was born in Chico, CA, to Margaret and Ralph Watkins, where she was raised and attended school, graduating at the top of her high school class of some 400 students. She attended Chico State University for her Freshman and Sophomore years, and as a brilliant student, transferred to and in 1967, graduated from UC Berkeley, Magna Cum Laude (with majors in History and English), which she attended without family financial help, while working full time as a waitress at a popular local fish restaurant. While at UC Berkeley, she reconnected with an old 7th grade flame (they went “steady”), Frederick (“Rick”) Montgomery, when she needed a ride from their nearby hometowns back to Berkeley, which he provided on his way back to Stanford. They almost immediately commenced dating, their first date to the Sound of Music-and the Music continued 54 years. They married in 1968 on a week’s notice so that Rick’s mother, who had terminal cancer, would be able to attend the wedding. At the time of their marriage, Rick was a first-year law student at UC Hastings and Sherri as a natural born teacher, obtained her Elementary School teaching credential in order to support them. This was at great personal sacrifice to her desire to become a history professor at Berkeley. Sherri taught kindergarten in the Bay Area and then Santa Barbara for some 30+ years. Sherri, as most called her, moved to Santa Barbara in 1970, where Rick had been recruited as a fledgling litigator out of law school by the prestigious law firm of Schramm, Raddue & Seed. As a Berkeley student of the ‘60s, she initially hated it, saying that she had been dragged to “polyester hell.” That, however, soon changed, especially after they started their family. While Rick worked to build his legal career, Sherri was the driving force of “family.” She had one biological son, Heath, but later was unable to conceive for medical reasons. Undaunted, she was determined to build more family. Over nearly insurmountable legal obstacles she single handedly accomplished (sitting, day-after-day in the US Ambassador’s office in Los Angeles until he finally succumbed and gave her a personal “audience”) the first California adoption from El Salvador of their daughter Pilar, and then proceeded with an adoption of their last child, Brent. Despite having an outward, fun loving, lifeliving persona, Sherri was the driven, focused, intelligent, thoughtful matriarch of the family. Sherri believed that curiosity and imagination were vital to her children’s (and their children’s) growth. Education was paramount and each night she relentlessly supervised the completion of each child’s homework. Coming from the Berkeley ‘60s she was also determined that there would be no time for their getting into trouble, and what time was left after education, was filled with sports. She earned the nickname “Sergeant Sherri” in the traveling junior tennis world in which Heath and Pilar participated, but this didn’t stop her from starting a rotating bridge group with other mothers on the tours while still making sure travel plans were confirmed, warm-ups were secured, and water jugs were filled. Yet, every match win or lose, she would make sure her kids felt unconditional love and support. To her, and at her core, the principle and mantra was family must come first and remain close. It was woven into the fabric of her children’s psyches, as well as the many of the needle points, weavings, knitted blankets, paintings and poems she wrote throughout her life. After her kids left home for college and on, while giving them their adult space, she always provided a safe place for their return when advice and wisdom were needed. When asked by people how she did it, her reply was, “accept their friends, accept their music, and pay for everything.” She traveled the world, both independently and with Rick, with experiences, adventures, and stories to share which would rival novels--like the time she traveled to Nepal alone, the military took over the government and just as the country was being shut down for months for travel in or out, she bribed her way onto the last flight out composed of fleeing politicians, but peppered with civilians in the hope of preventing the military from shooting down the plane. She and Rick experienced life with and through other cultures and peoples, but these cultures and people also gained by experiencing her. Sherri was also actively involved in the art culture in Santa Barbara. For decades she sold her art at local shows and during countless holiday events around town. When the 4th of July art show at the Mission shut down, she organized and hosted the event at her home, for more than 10 years, so that local artists, residents and visitors could continue to enjoy that traditional cultural experience. She believed in giving back to the community. Over her 50+ years in Santa Barbara, she volunteered at the Braille Institute to teach needlepoint and knitting, the Senior Center, Junior League, Transition House, and helped in local political campaigns. She seamlessly transitioned from parent to grandparent, and, in this new chapter, she continued to blossom. Always wanting to spend time with her grandsons (5), almost never saying no to a request or chance to see them, tutoring them every week and inspiring their imaginations and enthusiasm for learning (and keeping them on their toes as she actually had “eyes” tattooed on the back of her head so she could always see them). All of the boys couldn’t wait to tell Sher about their next big accomplishment, and she made it seem as if it was the best thing they had done. Sherri was a force of nature when it came to her ability to positively affect and influence those around her. She was the life of the party. She was the inspiration for being better. No one ever forgot her after meeting. She was funny, quick witted, insightful, sensitive, voraciously well read, and inquisitive. Upon meeting, she instantly sized you up and often pushed you to the point where you would ask yourself, “why didn’t I think of that? -- try that before?” She focused on the best in people and helped them live to that potential. She was not afraid to speak her mind, but rarely offended. If you had a chance to hear her give a speech, it was always riffing off the top of her head, but incredibly funny, insightful, and personal--for days, it would become the topic of conversation as those present would repeat her quips and punch lines. She was a strong believer in learning history for its life’s lessons, often noting one of her favorite Churchill sayings-”Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” She repeated to her children and their children that they’d be the force for the change they wanted to see in life. Her combination of wit, curiosity, love, generosity, devotion, and kindness was unique. Those who met and knew Sherri got to see them all. While she would tell you not to mourn her passing, secretly she would want you to at least miss her presence for a bit, but celebrate her by continuing to live life as fully as possible. The world may have lost this unique wife, mom, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin and friend, but we will continue to honor all her wisdom, teachings, and spirit which came to life on that fitting July 4th day celebrating independence. To this we say, we love you Sher, for all you are and thank you for all you have given us and which will continue to inspire us through your memory. The family is holding a Celebration of Sherri’s Life on Saturday, May 21, 2022, from 4:00 P.M to 10:00 P.M. at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum, 136 E. De La Guerra St., S.B., Cal. 93101, and all who would like to share in her memory are welcome.

JOEHNCK, Robert Detlef

On Wednesday, February 16, 2022, Bob Joehnck pulled the braking parachute lever, tapped gently on the foot brake, switched off the ignition and glided smoothly across the finish line one last time. Bob had the good fortune to walk the earth for a little over 97 years, almost all of it in Santa Barbara. He was born to Detlef Fredrick Joehnck and Lola Marion Powers on December 22, 1924, in Las Animas, Colorado after which the family moved to Oxnard, California before finally settling in Santa Barbara in 1932. He attended Peabody Elementary, La Cumbre Junior High and graduated from Santa Barbara High School. He and his friends were known as the local hot rodders and everybody knew Bobby Joehnck had one of the fastest cars in town. He enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1943, and was stationed in England during WWII as an aircraft mechanic. Later in life he enjoyed telling his nephews that upon graduations his sister was sent to business college and he was sent to war. Shortly after his return from service he married Shirley Dixon and in time they welcomed a daughter and son, Cynthia and Fred. He owned and operated a two-pump Texaco gas station on the corner of Mission and De La Vina where McConnell’s Ice Cream stands today. Bob’s love of fast cars continued and he was soon setting up the first drag racing track in California at the Santa Barbara Airport with the assistance of the airport manager, Mr. Swain. Bob and his buddies formed the Santa Barbara Acceleration Association and got an insurance policy from Lloyd’s of London in order to operate legal drag racing at the airport with the blessing of even the California Highway Patrol. Several books that have been written about early drag racing history point out, “It was the birth of quartermile drag racing and Bob Joehnck was the Founding Father.” In 1959, Bob opened Bob Joehnck Automotive on the corner of De La Vina and Figueroa. Out of that shop Bob supplied high performance racing engines for boats and automobiles of all types, including circle track, sprint cars, and all manner of road racing cars. Speedsters of all types racing at the land speed events at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah created the canvas of his life’s work. Bob attended the Annual Speed Week at Bonneville for over 50 years. His cars still hold records to this day. He got a D-class roadster with open wheels to go 270 MPH using aspirated (carburetor, not blower) gas. In 1965, Bob convinced Vic Edlebrock to make a high-rise intake manifold. They developed the C-4B manifold which led to a whole new line of performance products. He partnered with Shelly Washburn of Washburn Chevrolet and raced the wheels off of the Chevy Corvette Sting Ray #614 piloted by the eventually famous Bob Bondurant throughout the ‘60s and ‘70s. The shop still operates today as a Joehnck family business. Bob remarried in 1976, to June Mayberry. They enjoyed life at their Mission Canyon home hosting family gatherings and attending races all over the country. Bob Joehnck was a mentor to thousands of racing enthusiasts over the years. Usually they did all the talking and he did the listening. He had what you would call an internal Hubble Telescope that could detect BS from several light years away. He went to work every day into his early 90s. He championed all the small business owners of Santa Barbara. He couldn’t tell a joke to save his life, but he really enjoyed hearing a good one. He loved going to the movies, going out to dinner and never met a bowl of popcorn he didn’t like. Bob is survived by his wife June, children Cynthia and Fred, grandchildren Douglas, Lance, Traver, and Erika and great-grandchildren Christian and Sydney, as well as stepchildren Jack, John and Trish and their children Laura, Kevin, Jenny, Eric and Shelle. His rascal nephews Geoffrey, Chris and Rob also survive him. We can hardly believe he’s gone. We just thought he’d live forever.

MONTGOMERY, Robert A.

After a two-year battle with pulmonary fibrosis, Robert “Bob” A. Montgomery passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by family in Goleta on March 13, 2022. Robert was born October 12, 1940 in Monroe City, Missouri. He attended University of Missouri earning his BS in Electrical Engineering and furthered his education at University of Santa Barbara, earning his MS in Electrical Engineering. He put his brilliance to work starting in 1963 on NASA’s Apollo Program. Here, he designed the guidance system used on all of NASA’s Apollo Command Modules. This work earned him the coveted NASA Astronaut award called, The Silver Snoopy. NASA astronauts Alan Bean and Dick Gordon presented this award to Bob in 1970 for his outstanding performance, and for contributing to flight safety and mission success. He worked his way up through management where he became the Program Manager for Air Force’s C-17 Program and was also inducted into the U.S. Space Workers Hall of Honor. It was very clear his career in engineering would be a huge success when companies were offering him jobs at 17 years of age, before even starting his college education. Bob married Mildred “Millie” Bertuzzi in 2006 and shared a wonderful life together, dancing the twist and travelling around the world, creating everlasting memories, and “once-in-a-lifetime” adventures, including visiting all 21 missions in California and several exciting cruises. They were sure to celebrate their traditions such as staying up late to bring in the New Year, enjoying the theatre, and taking advantage of their season passes to the Santa Barbara Forester’s Baseball games. Bob will be remembered for the joy he elated every time family would come over to their home in Goleta to partake in the many BBQs and other tasty dishes that the entire family created together. Bob was the past Grand Knight of the Knights of Columbus, Council #5300 at St. Raphael’s Catholic church where he dedicated a tremendous part of his life supporting others in need. He assisted at the Church Picnics, BBQs, Bingo nights, Friday Fish Fries and organized a multitude of other events. His favorite pastimes were playing softball, golfing, going fishing, annual super bowl parties, spending time at the beach with the children and grandchildren and having his happy hour at the Beachside with his friends and family. Bob is survived by his loving wife, Millie and children Michael Montgomery, Mary (Darren) Entrican, Thomas (Cheryl) Montgomery, and Beth (Roosevelt) Charles and their mother, Nora (Earnie) Earnhardt and stepchildren Reno (Kristy) Bertuzzi, Perry Bertuzzi, Teresa Bertuzzi, Vincent Bertuzzi, Bruno Bertuzzi and Gina (Brian) Grites and a combination of 11 grandchildren. Other survivors include his brother Ed Montgomery and his daughters Sondra (Scott) Faubion, Teresa (Brian) Young and Tammy (Steve) Zeiler, all living in Missouri. Recitation of the Rosary will be at Welch-Ryce-Haider Chapel, 450 Ward Dr., Goleta, CA on Friday, March 18, 2022 at 3:00pm. A Mass of the Christian Burial will be held at St. Raphael’s Catholic Church on Saturday, March 19, 2022 at 10:00am, followed by burial services at Calvary Cemetery in Santa Barbara. Reception will follow at St. Raphael’s Hall. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Bob’s name to the Knights of Columbus, Council #5300, St. Raphael’s Catholic Church, or to your favorite charity.

‘Being the Ricardos’ stars on stage Fans cheer for Javier Bardem, Nicole Kidman at Santa Barbara International Film Festival

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

avier Bardem knew a blond hairstyle would look wrong on him. That’s why he suggested it for his villainous character, Raoul Silva, in the James Bond thriller “Skyfall.” “I felt this guy seemed to have worked so much on his face and his body that everything should look fake,” Mr. Barden told movie critic Leonard Maltin on stage during the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. “That’s one of the things that make you uncomfortable when you see him. And blond does not match me at all.” Mr. Bardem also recalled forgetting his lines at one point and having to explain to the director, Sam Mendes, why. He was caught up in the excitement of being in a James Bond movie. “Then there’s a ringtone. It was Judi Dench’s cell phone,” Mr. Bardem said. Ms. Dench, who played M in the film and was in the scene with Mr. Bardem, forgot to turn off her phone, but her ring tone was appropriate. It was fast riffs on a guitar — yes, composer Monty Newman’s classic James Bond theme. “What a day!” Mr. Bardem said before an Arlington Theatre crowd that clearly loved him and his fellow “Being the Ricardos” star Nicole Kidman, the Australian actress who appeared on a big screen March 11 via live videoconferencing from her home. The crowd loved the talent on stage and Mr. Bardem’s easygoing approach, full of smiles and selfdeprecating humor mixed with a lot of fun. It was all part of the night in which Mr. Bardem and Ms. Kidman received the Maltin Modern Master Award, presented to both of them by Todd Black, producer of “Being the Ricardos.” The two stars have been nominated for an Oscar for their portrayal of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. “I’m very honored,” Mr. Bardem said. “I don’t want to leave the stage! I’m so comfortable here.” Earlier in the evening, Mr. Bardem asked the lights to go on to see the audience, who applauded like crazy for him in the packed, 2,000-seat auditorium. “I know you were expecting Antonio Banderas to show up,” he joked. “They (the film festival) don’t have enough money, so I’m here. I’ll try to make it up to you.” During a discussion about “Being the Ricardos,” Mr. Bardem told Mr. Maltin how Aaron Sorkin, the director and writer, packed big events in Ms. Ball’s and Mr. Arnaz’s life over five years into one week. The film did cover major highlights, from Ms. Ball being

unfairly labeled a communist by the House Un-American Activities Committee to Mr. Arnaz’s pursuit of women, one of the factors leading to the famous couple’s eventual divorce. Mr. Bardem said “I Love Lucy,” Ms. Ball’s and Mr. Arnaz’s iconic series and the flagship show of their Desilu studios, was less popular in his native country of Spain than in the U.S.. That meant he was less familiar than others with Mr. Arnaz. “I think one of the things that

saved me from being an absolute failure is I wasn’t as familiar as I was supposed to be,” Mr. Bardem said, referring to the fact he could take a fresh approach. Mr. Bardem said he senses additional responsibility when he plays real people. Mr. Arnaz was the fourth real person he’s played. He explained he was sensitive to how Ms. Ball’s and Mr. Arnaz’s children, Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz Jr., would react to “Being the Ricardos.” “I didn’t want to harm them or

hurt their feelings by what I chose to do,” Mr. Bardem said. He added that the challenge of playing Mr. Arnaz scared him. “But I had to be brave. We (he and Ms. Kidman) knew we were playing iconic people. We just wanted to perform and follow the guidelines of the amazing script and direction by Aaron Sorkin. “Thank God the magic happened because sometimes you try and it doesn’t,” he said. “And in this case, it happened.” He said an easy aspect of the

role was playing the conga drums, the instrument for which Desi Arnaz was famous. “I like to play the drums. I’ve got the rhythm,” Mr. Bardem said, adding he worked with a teacher. But Mr. Arnaz was also known as a great singer, and Mr. Bardem had to sing in “Being the Ricardos.” “The singing — that’s a different story. It’s not in me,” he said. “I had a great teacher. She taught me in a very quick way how to make a different sound.”

Mr. Maltin noted Mr. Bardem’s wife, movie star Penelope Cruz, winner of the festival’s Montecito Award, “gets more beautiful with each passing year.” “And I get uglier and uglier!” Mr. Bardem quipped. “That’s fine because she’s with me for my money, so we’re good,” he joked. Mr. Bardem said he will be going to two countries, tentatively Hungary and Jordan, when he reprises his role of Stilgar during the filming of the “Dune” sequel this summer. Earlier in the evening, Ms. Kidman said she and Mr. Bardem had each other’s backs during the filming of “Being the Ricardos.” As Mr. Bardem listened, she praised him for his talent. “I could literally lean in and get lost in him,” she said. “He’s just the greatest — the greatest! Anyone who gets to work with him, just run. “You are just beyond generous, Javier,” she said. Mr. Bardem’s movies have varied from “The Sea Inside” (2004) to “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” (2017) to “No Country for Old Men” (2007). Ms. Kidman, who couldn’t come to Santa Barbara because she’s recovering after pulling her hamstring, thanked Mr. Black, the producer, for believing in her as she took on the challenge of playing Ms. Ball. Earlier, she told Mr. Maltin how she had the challenge of actually playing two people — Ms. Ball and her iconic, funny “I Love Lucy” character, Lucy Ricardo. Mr. Bardem praised Ms. Kidman for her movies, which vary from “Birth” (2004) to “Bewitched” (2005), “The Stepford Wives” (2004), “Eyes Wide Shut” (1999), “Bombshell” (2019), “Aquaman” (2018) and “Australia” (2008). Mr. Bardem further praised Ms. Kidman for the risks she takes and her courage with her roles. Clips were shown from both his and Ms. Kidman’s films, and Mr. Bardem was impressed as he saw Ms. Kidman again in iconic scenes, as well with the fact that an auditorium was packed at the first in-person Santa Barbara International Film Festival since 2020. (The event was sponsored by various companies such as Belvedere Vodka, Bright Event Rentals, Downtown Santa Barbara, Sandy Stahl Realty, Simply Cocktails, Topa Topa Brewing Company, Visit The Santa Ynez Valley and Waiakea Hawaiian Volcanic Water. UGG was the presenting sponsor. Other sponsors are listed at sbiff. org.) “It’s amazing to see those clips, one after another, in a theater full of people,” Mr. Bardem said. email: dmason@newpress.com

As temperatures rise, animal shelters across the nation are gearing up for the annual influx of kittens known as “kitten season.” In an effort to stem the tide and prevent unwanted litters of kittens, Santa Barbara Humane is offering free spay and neuter surgeries for cats in Santa Maria. Thanks to a donation from ResQcats, surgical fees will be waived for all feline spay/neuter surgeries provided at Santa Barbara Humane’s Santa Maria campus from April 4 to 7 and April 11 to 14. The campus is located at 1687 West Stowell Road. Spay and neuter surgeries are crucial to keeping the feline population under control, Santa Barbara Humane noted in a news release. An unaltered female cat can give birth to as many as 180 kittens in her lifetime. Those kittens could become part of the 3.2 million cats that enter animal shelters each year. For the millions of feral cats who don’t enter a shelter, their life on the streets is fraught with dangers ranging from communicable illness to busy roadways to encounters with wildlife. Surgical sterilization is a safe and humane way to prevent unwanted litters, and it also offers other benefits both to the cats and to the community at large, Santa Barbara Humane said. The nonprofit explained that spaying female cats helps prevent breast and uterine cancer, and neutering male cats helps prevent testicular cancer. Studies have found that spayed

female cats live 39% longer than intact female cats, while neutered male cats live 62% longer than intact male cats. For male cats, surgical sterilization also helps decrease aggressive behavior and can help prevent certain unwanted behaviors like spraying, fighting and roaming in search of a mate, Santa Barbara Humane said. Spaying female cats can help out whole neighborhoods, too. “Anyone who has been around female cats that are in heat can attest to how noisy they can be,” said Dr. Katie Marrie, Santa Barbara Humane’s chief veterinary officer. “Spaying prevents a lot of yowling!” Dr. Marrie said Santa Barbara Humane hopes to spay and neuter at least 120 cats in those eight days in April. “We are so thrilled to be able to offer these free spay and neuter surgeries to the public,” she said, “and we are so thankful to ResQcats for allowing us to provide this opportunity.” In 2021, Santa Barbara Humane provided 5,596 spay/ neuter surgeries to cats, dogs and rabbits in Santa Barbara County. The surgeries typically cost $95 for female cats and $75 for male cats. All visits to Santa Barbara Humane’s veterinary clinic, including those for free spay and neuter surgeries, are by appointment only. Appointments can be booked by calling 805-964-4777, ext. 205, or at sbhumane.org/clinic. In addition to its Santa Maria campus, Santa Barbara Humane operates a campus at 5339 Overpass Road, Goleta. email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

Chamber or Commerce presents Carpinteria awards

Beth Cox and Clyde Freeman were recently honored as the 2020 and 2021 Carpinterians of the Year by the Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce.

By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber Of Commerce celebrated the Carpinteria community with its 63rd Annual Community Awards Gala March 12 at the Rincon Beach Club. This event recognized award winners for both 2020 and 2021, to make up for the gala’s absence during the last two years due to the pandemic. The Community Awards Gala honors individuals whose contributions have enhanced Carpinteria. The gale included the announcements for the 2020 and 2021 Carpinterians of the Year. Beth Cox was celebrated as the 2020 honoree for her fundraising and volunteer efforts, supporting organizations such as the American Cancer Society, the Rotary Club of Carpinteria Morning, the new Carpinteria Skate Park, the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County, the Carpinteria Children’s Project, Girls Inc. of Carpinteria, The Alcazar Theatre, Carpinteria Education Foundation, Carpinteria Boys & Girls Club, and the Lynda Fairly Art Center. She quickly put her skills to use during the pandemic, through her work with the 93013 Fund and adding the Paddle Out component to the Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. Clyde Freeman, the 2021 Carpinterian of the Year, was honored for his many positions among community organizations, including roles as president, board member, committee member, fundraiser and volunteer for organizations including Carpinteria Education Foundation, Carpinteria Valley Chamber of Commerce, Carpinteria Beautiful, Girls Inc., Carpinteria Arts Center and the Carpinteria Valley Historical Museum. In addition, during his tenure with Montecito Bank and Trust, he guided many local nonprofits into being recipients of the bank’s annual $1 million fund distribution. Other honorees at the gala

included Educators of the Year: Ryan Ethington, Carolyn Haines and Kate Guede. Mr. Ethington was recognized as the 2020 Secondary School Educator. As the Carpinteria Middle School art teacher, Mr. Ethington has also been an adjunct professor at Westmont College, teaching art principles and art for children and adolescence. Working with young artists has inspired him to pursue work with nonprofits and communities. Ms. Haines was recognized as the 2021 Elementary School Educator. She earned her master’s degree in education and began substitute teaching in Carpinteria, where she fell in love with the elementary classroom and students. She earned her multiple subject teaching credential and now teaches at Canalino School. Ms. Guede was recognized as the 2021 Secondary School Educator. For the past 16 years, she has taught Spanish and AVID at Carpinteria High School. She is one of four AVID teachers at CHS, a program designed to support first-generation college students to pursue an education beyond high school. She has also served as department chair and adviser for the California Scholastic Federation. The chamber announced Eduardo Vences from Carpinteria High School as the Junior Carpinterian of the Year. He is a true scholar with a 4.5-plus GPA and has been president of Spanish Club, president of Celebrating Adversity, Diversity and Education and president of Future Leaders of America. Eduardo has taken part in both track and field and cross country teams throughout his high school career and was named Most Valuable player for both. The Junior Carpinterian of the Year Scholarship finalists included Kate Cooney and Sierra Mayoral, both Carpinteria High School students. Each will each receive $1,500 scholarships. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

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.

LIBRA — The energy of the day is electric, and you could find yourself bouncing from task to task and person to person, Libra. Things are apt to happen when you least expect them, so be prepared for surprises. There’s an element of genius to the day that might inspire you to be someone much greater than you ever thought you could be. SCORPIO — You might feel as if your heart is playing tricks on you today, Scorpio. Perhaps you’re coming up against a strong force that’s causing you to doubt yourself in some way. Don’t be conned by loud, obnoxious talk. Seek the true meaning behind the words. You’ll find that most of your strength is internal. Be prepared for stubborn wills to make a powerful presence in your world today. SAGITTARIUS — There is a great deal of unexpected communication coming your way today, Sagittarius, but be careful about the people you trust. There’s an element of fantasy factored into the picture. This might cause some disruption if you automatically accept everything at face value. Make sure you check your sources at least twice before proceeding. CAPRICORN — You may find that people aren’t necessarily very sympathetic to your feelings today, Capricorn. It’s quite possible that they’re more responsive to facts and information than emotions. It could be that you need to enlist some sort of translator in order to get through to a person with whom you’re trying to communicate. AQUARIUS — You may feel as if people have turned against you today and that they’ve suddenly lost interest in what you have to say, Aquarius. Maybe this is a reflection of your own inability to truly listen to someone else talking. Look at the collective picture and open your eyes to the world around you. Get involved in the community instead of only focusing on you all the time. PISCES — Let your emotions play with your imagination today, and feel free to discuss your findings openly with others, Pisces. Don’t get caught up in so rational a frame of mind that you refuse to acknowledge any other way of viewing a current situation. Put away your analytical side in order to disclose a more abstract, intuitive perspective.

HOROSCOPE ARIES — Trust that you have all the facts you need today, Aries. You should be feeling quite good, emotionally. Use this self-confidence to make great strides in whatever you want to accomplish. Have fun letting your mind drift to a fanciful world where it can explore your imaginative proclivities. TAURUS — You may find yourself emotionally challenged today by a strong force demanding your attention, Taurus. Your hyperawareness to every situation might be driving you a bit crazy. Perhaps you just need to tone things down and relax. Enjoy rather than question the fun-loving energy of the day. GEMINI — You have the opportunity to do some intense self-healing today, Gemini, so you communicate more directly with your core self without the distractions of other people. Do what you can to hone in on the internal issues that require your attention. It’s key that you learn how to address these issues yourself instead of relying on other people to take care of these needs for you today. CANCER — You might be a bit confused with the mood of the day, Cancer, which fosters quick action and a sporadic approach to things. More than likely, this approach isn’t exactly in line with your usual methodical protocol. Do what you can to merge with this energy in order to add a more spontaneous spark to your daily routine. LEO — Feel free to match your plaid pants with your paisley shirt today, Leo. Accessorize with wild sneakers and a striped jacket. Let the oddball within you shine brightly! This is a terrific day for you, and you should feel free to express yourself openly and loudly to the world. You should experience a great deal of selfconfidence. Take full advantage of it at this time. VIRGO — Feel free to enlist your own creativity today to solve any problem that may come your way, Virgo. Don’t feel like you absolutely need to take a rational and methodical approach. This sort of frame of mind has already been tried. Now it’s time to explore a more intuitive way to complete any task that you wish to tackle now.
