Students are welcomed back during the 2020-2021 school year at McKinley Elementary School, where enrollment was at 272 at the time. Enrollment now stands at 244, following a pattern of decreasing enrollment in the Santa Barbara Unified School District and throughout the state.

In the Santa Barbara Unified School District, enrollment fell to 13,891 students in 2021-2022 from 14,205 in 2020-21.

By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER Enrollment in California’s public schools has plunged to below 6 million students. And declining enrollment is a trend seen in Santa Barbara as well, according to data from the California Department of Education and the Santa Barbara Unified School District. Statewide enrollment in all schools sits at 5,892,240 for the 2021-2022 academic year, according to the CDE. It’s the fifth year in a row statewide enrollment has declined, the department said, citing challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and a national trend of declining enrollment. Statewide enrollment in 20202021 was 6,000,523 students — meaning there was a decrease of nearly 110,000 students, or 1.8%, in the current academic year. Enrollment in 2019-2020 was 6,163,001 students, and 2018-2019 reported 6,186,278 students. In Santa Barbara County, 67,137 students were enrolled

in the 2021-2022 school year, a decrease from 67,470 students in 2020-2021 and 69,006 students in 2019-2020. For the 2018-2019 academic year, 69,379 students were enrolled, and 69,752 students were enrolled for the 2017-2018 school year. More specifically, 13,891 students were enrolled in the 2021-2022 school year in Santa Barbara Unified School District. Last year, 14,205 students were enrolled, and 14,538 students were enrolled in the district in 2019-2020. “Emerging from the pandemic and the chaos that it created within school districts across the country, our focus is returning to student outcomes,” Dr. Hilda Maldonado, superintendent of the Santa Barbara Unified School District, said in a statement to the News-Press. “We feel that student engagement at all levels will not only aid in stabilizing enrollment, but also put a spotlight on the rigorous and inclusive curriculum that Santa Barbara Unified others.” Dos Pueblos High School

than 100 people gathered at the Elks Lodge Wednesday evening for the annual State of the City event. But despite a post-pandemic recovery, more attention is needed for Goleta’s aging infrastructure, leaders said. “It is not enough for the state of our city to be strong today. It must be strong in preparing for the future,” Mayor Perotte said. “When you think about it, much of our city’s infrastructure and processes are rooted in the 20th century. While we are thankful for the public buildings, transportation infrastructure and parks we inherited from the last century, we are working hard to move them into the 21st century.” Mayor Perotte said Goleta has “an extensive repair process” totaling more than $6 million for its roads under way, with construction already ensuing on Cathedral Oaks Road, Hollister Avenue and Glen Annie Road. Additional work will commence on Ekwill Fowler Street Extension and Hollister Avenue Bridge, she said. Please see GOLETA on A6

Santa Barbara County has more than $38 million in federal pandemic relief funding still to be allocated — and some of the money could be used to add needed positions. The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors has already committed about $52.5 million of American Rescue Plan Act funds, with the majority of that money earmarked for health and human services issues. An additional $38,355,837 has yet to be allocated, Nancy Anderson, Santa Barbara County’s Budget and Research Department director, told the board Thursday. Director Anderson presented an update on ARPA funding — how it’s been allocated and what still unspent money could be used for — to the board as part of a marathon series of budget workshops this week. The ARPA funds are essentially “a budget within a budget,” she said. Santa Barbara County has about $17.6 million in discretionary ARPA funding, which can be used for governmental services excluding debt, legal settlements and reserves. Ms. Anderson suggested earmarking the money for needed updates to the Public Safety Radio Network, which handles 9-1-1 calls and interagency communications. The current system is no longer supported for parts and updates and poses a significant risk to the county, according to the presentation given to the board. Additionally, the county has about $20.7 million in restricted ARPA funding. Officials found about 59 projects that could be eligible for these funds — however, those projects total $116 million. Eligible projects include the Isla Vista Community Center

sewer replacement and other improvements, hearing room improvements with closed captioning and Project Clean Water mandates. The funds could also be used to tackle court backlogs in the District Attorney’s and Public Defender’s departments. Other eligible projects included expansion requests from the Sheriff’s Office for its co-response team and community resource deputies in Orcutt and Montecito. “Projects not funded by ARPA can certainly be considered for other one-time funds by your board,” Director Anderson said. Supervisor Steve Lavagnino suggested using some of the “one-time” ARPA money to fund ongoing needs. Then, over the course of the few years that the federal funding would cover the position or project, the county could determine if the position is truly needed or if other funding could open up to cover the ongoing costs. “We’ve had so much one-time money available through ARPA that I don’t really see much on the one-time calendar that piques my interest as opposed to some of the things that are ongoing that I find very critical,” Supervisor Lavagnino said. Supervisor Bob Nelson also expressed interest in creating a “trial program” by allocating funding this way. The Board of Supervisors held a bevy of workshops this week to analyze budgetary needs throughout all facets of the county. The county budget for fiscal year 2022-2023 is estimated to be $1.4 billion with a “stable” outlook, according to presentations given this week. This is the fourth consecutive year no county departments need to propose a service level reduction.

California unveils plan to phase out new gas-powered vehicles by 2035 By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER

(The Center Square) — California air regulators are setting new targets to increase sales of electric vehicles in the coming years as the state moves to phase out the sale of new gaspowered cars by 2035, according to a new recommendation released Tuesday. The proposal, released by the California Air Resources Board, would require that 35% of new vehicles delivered to California be zero-emission or plug-in hybrid vehicles in the 2026 model year. Then, by 2035, the proposal would require 100% of new car sales in California to be electric vehicles, with 20% allowed to be plugin hybrid electric vehicles with combustion engines. The regulations would put California on a path to achieving a goal set by Gov. Gavin Newsom to phase out the sale of gas-powered vehicles in California by 2035. The governor signed an executive order in September 2020 that would require the sale of all new passenger vehicles to be zeroemission by 2035. In March, the Biden administration reinstated California’s ability to set its vehicle emissions standards, which Gov. Newsom called a “major victory for the environment, our economy and the health of families across the country.” “Mobile sources” are the greatest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in California, “accounting for about 80% of ozone precursor emissions and approximately 50% of statewide GHG emissions,” air regulators said in the proposal. Increasing the use of electric vehicles would “significantly reduce” GHG emissions caused by

gas-powered vehicles, the board wrote. However, regulators recognized that gas-powered vehicles “will remain in use on California’s roads well beyond 2035,” as they would not ban Californians from driving pre-owned gas-powered automobiles. Consumers would also be able to continue selling pre-owned gas-powered cars under the regulations. The board estimates that the primary businesses impacted by these regulations are manufacturers that sell on-road light-duty vehicles in California. Currently 17 companies would be subject to the rules, regulators said. “The cost to manufacturers will be high per vehicle in the early years, but significantly decrease over time by 2035,” regulators said. The proposal also sets out durability requirements for electric cars, requiring vehicles to get at least 150 miles per charge. Regulators said this will ensure consumers can replace gaspowered vehicles with electric cars that “meet their needs for transportation and protect the emission benefits of the program.” “These standards will also reduce the total cost of ownership for passenger cars and light trucks, saving drivers money in the long term and further promoting consumer adoption,” the proposal states. The California Air Resources Board is scheduled to hold a board hearing on these regulations on June 9. The proposal will require the approval of the Environmental Protection Agency, according to The Associated Press. Madison Hirneisen covers California for The Center Square.

Amazon raises prices to keep up with inflation By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – Amazon’s CEO announced Thursday that the company would be raising prices to keep pace with inflation. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said the company will begin charging U.S. third-party sellers a 5% upcharge because of higher inflation and fuel costs, a hike expected to trickle down to consumers. The charge will take effect April 28. “At a certain point, you can’t keep absorbing all those costs and run a business that’s economic,” Mr. Jassy said in an interview with

CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” The cost will affect sellers using “Fulfillment by Amazon,” an Amazon program where third parties sell on Amazon’s website, but Amazon handles delivering the items. Sellers pay more for Amazon to warehouse and ship their products, and now those fees are going up. “If you look at the cost of fuel, if you look at the cost of metal and building, just very different,” Mr. Jassy said. It’s unclear whether the upcharge will be permanent. “We’re very aware that sellers have costs as well,” Mr. Jassy said. Please see AMAZON on A6

SPORTS ROUNDUP

San Marcos defeats Lompoc in track and field By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

San Marcos went against Lompoc on Wednesday and scored a resounding double victory in track and field. The boys varsity won 96-40; the girls varsity, 106-17. “Justin Hess had a monster day for the Royals. He won the 400, 49.78, 200, 22.63 both are personal bests,” Coach Marilyn Hantgin told the News-Press. “He was the anchor on our winning 4 x 100 team (Andre Mc Cullough, Dylan Briner, and Cameron Letendre) and ran the fastest split on the winning 4 x 400 team with a 50.2. “Justin looked very strong today,” Hantgin said. “Coming off a great weekend at Arcadia, Justin showed today his strength to compete in four events without much rest in-between. We have some big meets coming up including Mt. Sac, county and league finals. There is still a lot of work to do in practice that will help him to improve.” Jackson Murillo won the high jump at 5-10 and the long jump 1911. “Jackson has picked up horizontal jumps this season, and he’s doing better every week,” Hantgin said. Makenzie Fauver won the 100 hurdles with a personal best of 16.02 and won the 300 hurdles with another personal best of 47.02. She also was second in the triple jump 32-05.5 and was on the winning 4 x 100 team (Ava Carter, Ajha Dennis, and Ava Arriaga). “Makenzie has so much potential,” Hantgin said. “I know her times will continue to improve. I’m looking forward to some quality hurdle workouts coming up in the next few weeks. “Ava Carter won the 100 12.91 and the 200 26.41. Ava is one of the most competitive runners I have ever coached,” Hantgin said. “She has high expectations of herself and works to achieve her goals. Clara Tracewell won the shot put 31-3.5 and the discus 69-11. Clara is consistent and her discus continues to improve every week.” A small group of Royals will head Saturday to Mt. Sac, where the county championships will take place.

DOS PUEBLOS BOYS GOLF BEATS CABRILLO The Dos Pueblos boys golf team defeated Cabrillo on Wednesday at an away game 424-482. “Just like yesterday, there were very high winds and made the course play much harder. The boys did a good job with their course management,” said Coach Kevin Alhers. The Chargers’ Teddy Vigna earned medalist honors. Andrew Gentry made a 40 downhill putt for a birdie on hole three. Vigna scored 80, followed by the Chargers’ Ruben Mendoza, 84; Laith Reynolds. 89; Andrew Gentry, 85; and Michael Gentry, 86. Cabrillo’s Zach Radabaugh and Luke Radabaugh both scored 89, followed by Sean Gummere, 103; Brad McCune, 101; and Justin

Steffens, 100.

LAGUNA BLANCA DEFEATS BISHOP DIEGO The Laguna Blanca boys volleyball team beat Bishop Diego 3-1 Wednesday. “Once we settled down after being outplayed in the first game, it was a good overall match for us tonight,” Coach Jason Donnelly said. “On top of Jack (Shiebler)’s great play at the setter position, his leadership came out big time tonight, particularly when we were finding our way. He did a great job of keeping everyone calm. “I thought Caden Weaver did a nice job stepping into a defensive specialist role.When we are taking care of the first ball and get our middles, Freddie Russell and Kincade Avery early swings, good things tend to happen for our team and it opens everything else up.” Game scores were 23-25, 25-12, 25-15, 25-18. Jack Shiebler made 34 assists, 4 kills, 2 aces. Freddie Russell made 16 kills. Tyson Deveze made 10 kills.

season.” Select athletes will compete at the Mt SAC Relays Saturday.

CARPINTERIA DEFEATS NORDHOFF The Carpinteria Warriors baseball team hosted the Nordhoff Rangers Wednesday and came away with a 6-1 win. Nordhoff scored the first point on a solo home run by transfer shortstop Ben Fabbian. The Warriors waited until the fifth inning to answer, but Erich Goebel led off the inning by hitting an 0-2 pitch over the fence in right center. Hunter Garcia followed Goebel with a single and later scored on Talon Trumble’s sacrifice fly. Issac Flores drove in the final run of the inning as he hit a ball up the middle, which scored Matt Muñoz from third base. The Warriors weren’t done as Zach Mata singled and advanced to third on walks to Diego Nieves and Garcia. “Mata scored on a wild pitch and then Matt Muñoz walked,

which pushed across Nieves and Oscar Velazquez was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Isaac Flores picked up his second RBI of the day when he walked forcing in Muñoz,” Patrick Cooney, the director of athletics and head baseball coach, told the NewsPress. Sophomore righty Shane Goodmanson toed the slab at Calderwood Field and went the distance picking up the win on 7 strikeouts, 2 walks and 4 hits while facing 26 batters. Oscar Velazquez had 2 hits for the Warriors. “Shane set the tone and tempo for the day,” Cooney said. “We had some bad luck early but it never rattled him. He just kept doing his job and his patience paid off. With just a couple of exceptions, the defense played really well behind him. It’s rewarding to see such young players lead and rally around each other,” The Warriors visit Nordhoff today in the final contest between the two teams in 2022. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

SANTA BARBARA DEFEATS SANTA YNEZ The Santa Barbara track and field team closed out the league dual season with a pair of wins over Santa Ynez. The boys won 9539; the girls, 89-42. The Dons’ Davis Flanagin won three events, taking the long jump in 20-11, running a personal best of 52.62 in the 400 meters and leading a sweep of the triple jump at 42-3. Oliver Andrews was second with a personal best of 418 and Amir Walton 3rd in 39-11. “Davis has been our go to guy in the jumps all year and we’ve had a chance to move him around a bit on the track the last few weeks,” Coach Olivia Perdices said. The girls also swept the triple jump with Julianna Aviani at 303.5, Ella McMillan at 27-6.5 and Sarah Fisher at 26-10. “I’ve got to give a lot of credit to our horizontal jumps coach, Matthew Oatis here. He does an outstanding job coaching up that event and it’s really coming together for all those kids.” Laila Goodman, who signed with the NYU track and field earlier in the day, led off both winning relays. She teamed with Mackenna Show, Olivia Gaspar and Jasmyn Amirfazlian in the 4x100 (53.04) and Addie Hoke, Katherine Hedrick and Mackenna Show in the 4x400 (4:20.23). Show added a personal best of 1:00.84 to win the 400 meters, and Hedrick took the hurdle double with a 47.46 in the 300 hurdles and a personal best 16.22 in the 100 hurdles. Gaspar led a sweep of the 200 meters in a personal best 27.76. Goodman was second in 27.84 and Hoke 3rs in 29.63. “That 400 is a big breakthrough for Mackenna, and her and Laila have been clutch on the relays for us all year. Katherine ran two of her best hurdle races of the season. It’s good to see these kids clicking as we head into the championship portion of the

Coach Pierson headlines All-GSAC honors for women’s tennis By JACOB NORLING WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

While Westmont Women’s Tennis saw their season come to a close on Tuesday, the news was not all bad for the Warriors. Ahead of their GSAC Quarterfinals matchup against San Diego Christian, Westmont received word that three of their Warriors had received All-Golden State Athletic Conference honors. Senior Rachal Jackson and freshman Francesca Aguirre were named to the All-GSAC team, and Associate Head Coach Cade Pierson was named the GSAC Coach of the Year in her first season on the job. “It’s not surprising that these two were chosen for the All-GSAC

team,” said Pierson. “From an experience point of view, they are on two very different ends of the spectrum, but they play similar games and have similar mentalities. They are true Warriors through and through. “Both of them have been constants for our team not only in results, but in the energy they bring on a daily basis.” For Jackson, this is the second consecutive season in which she has received the honor, and for Aguirre, in her collegiate debut, she receives the honor for the first time. Jackson led the Warriors all season long on court one, where she posted a doubles record of 5-3 in GSAC play alongside Christine Hemry. Please see TENNIS on A4

After nearly 19 years of work for Goleta — a time that spans almost the entirety of Goleta’s incorporation — Sustainability Manager Cindy Moore has retired. Today is Ms. Moore’s final day with the city. “It was an exciting and rare opportunity to be offered the chance to join a newly incorporated city back in 2003, and it has been my privilege to serve the Goleta community over the years and be a part of the growth and evolution of the city organization, especially the

launch of the city’s Sustainability Program,” Ms. Moore said. She began her work in Goleta as a senior planner in 2003 after working for Santa Barbara County. She launched the Sustainability Program in 2012. Throughout her tenure, Ms. Moore oversaw the adoption of the city’s 100% renewable energy goal, the adoption of the Electric Vehicle Charging Station Permit Streamlining Ordinance and Goleta’s first solar PV project at City Hall. She achieved Green Business Program certification for City Hall and got a 3-STAR community rating from STAR Communities for Goleta’s leadership in sustainability in 2017. “Cindy Moore has been an invaluable resource during her distinguished tenure with the city,” said City Manager Michelle Greene. “Whether serving as a senior planner, sustainability

coordinator or sustainability manager, Cindy brought a high level of professionalism and expertise to the job, and left her mark as the creator of the city’s Sustainability Program. Her foundational work set the city on a path to achieve great things, and we are very thankful for her contributions to a greener, cleaner future for Goleta.” Ms. Moore was honored during a special Goleta City Council meeting Thursday morning, with every member speaking highly of her work for the city. During the meeting, Ms. Moore was presented with a City Tile as well as a Green Innovator recognition plaque from the Santa Barbara Green Business Program. “Your passion and enthusiasm, I really think, has created things to be able to move forward. You’re the type of person that believes in what you’re doing. You have passion in what you do,” Goleta

Jordan nabs fourth Player of the Week award By DANIEL MESSINGER UCSB SPORTS WRITER

UC Santa Barbara RS sophomore Phillip Jordan has been voted the Big West Men’s Tennis Player of the Week, the conference announced Wednesday. This is Jordan’s conference-leading fourth time winning the award this season. • Jordan went 2-0 at No. 1 singles and No. 1 doubles as then-57th-ranked UC Santa Barbara blanked a pair of Big West opponents at home. • In Friday’s 4-0 victory over UC Davis, Jordan paired with Victor Krustev to cruise past Brett Brinkman and Andras Necz, 6-1. He did not appear in singles. • The redshirt sophomore defeated No. 75 Emmanuel Coste in straight sets, 6-1, 6-4, in Sunday’s 4-0 decision over No. 74 UC Irvine. He and Krustev rallied back from 3-0 and 5-2 deficits against Coste

and Noah Zamora to tie the score at 5-5 before it went unfinished. • The now-54th-ranked Gauchos completed the regular season a perfect 10-0 at home, and improved to 14-5 overall with wins in eight of their last nine. UCSB sits in third in The Big West standings at 3-1, with three straight victories all in shutout fashion. • Jordan is 22-9 and now ranked No. 122 in singles. He and regular doubles partner Kai Brady are rated 88th nationally. • Jordan leads The Big West with four weekly awards this season, with prior selections on Feb. 9, March 2 and March 9. He is the only Gaucho to be so honored in 2022. Daniel Messinger writes about sports for UCSB. email: sports@newspress.com

Pierson led team to 6-2 record TENNIS

Continued from Page A3

On this special all-Texas episode of AnimalZone, we visit Mini Hooves of Love. A non-profit focused on providing miniature horses to hospitals and other institutions where they can bring happiness and positive energy to patients. Founders Jim and Linda Woods explain the differences between miniature horses and ponies and show a couple of dwarf horses. These miniature horses are house-trained and can walk on tile and wood floors which make them great animals to walk in hospitals. Jim also explores the history of miniature horses from the 1600s in England, when they were pets for aristocrats, to later when they, because of their strength and size, worked in coal mines. Laura Stinchfield, The Pet Psychic, talks with Shannon and her rescue pit bull Moose. Moose bares some teeth when Laura talks about veterinarians.

Jackson also posted similar success in singles, finishing with five wins and three losses against GSAC opponents. “It’s awesome to see Rachal go out receiving this honor,” offered Pierson. “This is her second time receiving this award and she is so deserving of this honor.” Aguirre was debatably the Warriors’ best player in 2022, as her consistent play made her the first freshman to earn All-GSAC honors in the program since Pierson herself did it in 2017. Alongside senior Emily Peterson, Aguirre posted a record of 7-2 in doubles against GSAC opponents. Singles is where Aguirre truly turned heads as a freshman, as the freshman went undefeated in nine matches against GSAC opponents. “This honor is rightfully deserved for Francesca,” said Pierson. “It’s a reminder that she is already such a talented player and that there is still so much for her to learn and grow into.

She has such a high ceiling for potential.” For Pierson, the honor of coach of the year is extra meaningful in her first year guiding the very program that raised her. From 2017 to 2021, Pierson was named to the All-GSAC team four times, named an NAIA All-American twice, and was the ITA Senior Player of the Year in her final campaign. “This is a really special honor,” said a proud Pierson. “I was not expecting this at all. We have so much talent in this conference obviously amongst players, but amongst coaches as well. It’s an incredible surprise to receive this honor.” In March of 2020, Pierson thought her career at Westmont had come to an abrupt end before utilizing her final year of eligibility in 2021. Then, towards the end of her career this time last season, the reality of leaving Westmont and the game of tennis began to set in. Once again, however, the Westmont community was fortunate enough to keep Pierson around once again.

“Last season,” reflected Pierson, “in the midst of my fifth and final tennis season, and before my coaching position fell into place, I remember feeling this overwhelming sadness. The fact of the matter was that in a few weeks, for the first time in over ten years, tennis wasn’t going to be the most important thing in my life anymore. “Fast forward to this spring and the end of my first season coaching, I giggle knowing that I couldn’t have been more wrong. God has a funny sense of humor, doesn’t he?” In her first season on the staff, Pierson led Westmont to a 6-2 record in conference play, and a four seed in the GSAC tournament. While the club fell in the GSAC Quarterfinals, it would appear that with Pierson leading the way, the future for Westmont Women’s Tennis remains as bright as ever.

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 (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 099197-CA. 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: Effective January 1, 2021, 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 (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 099197-CA 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. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Published April 15, 2022 NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY REVISED DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR THE PROPOSED NORTH FORK RANCH FROST PONDS PROJECT Case No. 16CUP-00000-00005 County EIR# 21EIR-00000-00002 SCH# 2017061009 Introduction: Santa Barbara County Planning & Development (P&D) has revised the October, 2021, Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) prepared for the North Fork Ranch Frost Ponds Project (Project). A Revised Draft EIR has been prepared to include evaluations of the Project’s potential impacts to cultural and tribal cultural resources, geologic processes, and water quality. These environmental issue areas were not included in the October, 2021, Draft EIR because the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration dated August 1, 2018, prepared for the Project determined that its potentially significant impacts related to cultural and tribal cultural resources, geologic processes, and water quality would be reduced to a less than significant level with the implementation of identified mitigation measures. The potentially significant environmental impacts identified by the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration have been added to the Revised Draft EIR so that the EIR evaluates each of the proposed Project’s potentially significant impacts. Public Comment: Santa Barbara County Planning & Development (P&D) is soliciting comments on the adequacy and completeness of the analysis and proposed mitigation measures described in the Revised Draft EIR, Case Number 21EIR-00000-00002. You may submit written or oral comments to the planner identified below prior to the close of the public comment period on May 30, 2022 at 5 p.m. Project Details: The project is a request by Brodiaea, Inc. (property owner/applicant), to consider Case Number 16CUP-00000-00005 for approval of a Minor Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the construction and operation of three water reservoirs and associated piping for frost protection at the North Fork Vineyard. Each reservoir would have a storage capacity of approximately 44-acre feet and would occupy an area of approximately five acres. A total of approximately 257,945 cubic yards of cut and fill grading would be required to construct all three proposed reservoirs. Frost protection would be achieved by applying spray irrigation to existing grape vines when frost has the potential to damage the plants. Frost protection would generally be required during the months of February, March and April. The proposed reservoirs would be maintained at full capacity between February and April, and approximately three feet of water would be stored in the reservoirs between May and January. Water above three feet contained in the reservoirs after May 1 would be distributed for vineyard irrigation. Water to be stored in the reservoirs would be supplied by existing agricultural wells located on the north side of State Highway 166. Water from the wells would be conveyed to the reservoirs using existing vineyard irrigation pipelines and proposed pipelines. The existing vineyard irrigation pipelines extend beneath State Highway 166 and throughout the existing vineyard. The proposed pipelines would convey water from the existing irrigation pipelines to each of the reservoirs, and would have a combined length of approximately 1,350 linear feet. Additional pipelines are proposed to convey water from each of the reservoirs to the vineyard’s existing spray irrigation system. These pipelines would have a total length of approximately 976 feet. In total, the project would construct approximately 2,326 feet of new pipelines. Project Location: The proposed reservoirs would be located on the south side of State Highway 166, between Cottonwood Canyon Road and Schoolhouse Canyon Road, approximately nine miles west of the community of New Cuyama, in the 5th Supervisorial District. The project property is identified as Assessor Parcel Number 147-020-045, which is 6,565 acres in size and zoned AG-II. Environmental Review Findings: P&D prepared a Draft EIR pursuant to requirements of the State Guidelines for the Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the County of Santa Barbara Guidelines for the Implementation of CEQA. P&D prepared an EIR for the proposed project due to the potential for its construction and operation to result in significant adverse environmental effects. The Draft EIR for the project identifies and discusses potential impacts, mitigation measures, residual impacts, and monitoring requirements for identified environmental issue areas. No potentially significant and unavoidable (Class I) impacts were identified. Potentially significant but mitigable (Class II) impacts were identified in the issue areas of: Biological Resources, Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources, Geologic Processes, Frost Pond Reservoir Flooding, Frost Pond Reservoir Groundwater Use, and Water Quality. If the project description changes, P&D will require a re-evaluation to consider the changes. The re-evaluation will be subject to all regular fees and conditions. If you challenge this environmental document in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues raised by you or others in written correspondence or in hearings on the proposed project. Document Availability: If a copy of the EIR is not attached, the Draft EIR may be obtained and all documents referenced in the EIR may be reviewed at Planning & Development offices located at 123 E. Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara OR 624 Foster Road, Suite C, Santa Maria AND on our website at: https://cosantabarbara.app.box.com/s/o9fp2865sykaqn98s0702plaa96xj7t5/folder/100124433786. The EIR is also available for review at the Cuyama Branch Public Library located at 4689 Highway 166, New Cuyama. How to Comment: Please provide comments to the project planner, Travis Seawards, Deputy Director, Development Review Division, at Planning & Development, 123 E. Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara, California 93101; tseawards@countyofsb.org; or (805) 568-2518 prior to the close of public comment on May 30, 2022 at 5:00 p.m. Please limit comments to environmental issues such as biology, cultural resources, water resources, etc. You will receive notice of the dates of future public hearings to consider project approval or denial.

Newsom budget proposal sought to mitigate impact of decline ENROLLMENT

Continued from Page A1

San Marcos High School had 1,998 students enrolled for the current academic year, down from 2,028 students in 2020-2021. Goleta Valley Junior High had 744 students enrolled for the 20212022 school year, down from 761 in 2020-2021 and 776 in 2019-2020. Cleveland Elementary had 273 students enrolled in the current school year, down from 283 in 2020-2021 and 316 in 2019-2020. McKinley Elementary had 244 students enrolled in the current academic year, down from 272 in 2020-2021 and 312 in 2019-2020. Monroe Elementary had 328 students enrolled in the 20212022 school year, down from 368 students in 2020-2021 and 402 students in 2019-2020. Washington Elementary had 537 students enrolled in the 2021-2022 academic year, down from 561 in 2020-2021 and 600 in 2019-2020.

The Santa Barbara Unified School District found that slightly more than 50% of the students who left during the 2020-2021 academic year cited a move to another public school district in California as the reason. Other top reasons included a move to a private school in California or another public school outside of the state, a move to a foreign country or medical reasons. One student died during that academic year, and 16 were considered to be truant with a next location unknown. Most of the students who left the district (333) were in elementary school followed by senior high (270). Statewide, the largest gradelevel decreases in the enrollment are found in grades one, four, seven and nine, according to CDE. The statewide data showed the sharpest decline in enrollment from the previous academic year to 2021-2022 was in white students

Bucking a statewide trend, Dos Pueblos High School saw its enrollment increase to 2,020 students this academic year, up from 2,018 students in 2020-2021, 2,005 students in 2019-2020 and 1,988 students in 2018-2019.

at 4.9%. Black students declined 3.6%, Asian students dropped 1.9%, and Hispanic and Latino students decreased 0.9%. However, student groups with no race reported increased by 18.3%, and students who identified as more than one race increased by 1.7%. Gov. Gavin Newsom sought to mitigate the economic impact schools could face due to declining enrollment in his budget proposal earlier this year. Districts are able to base funding on attendance in the current year, prior year or an average of the past three years. And in the Legislature, a bill from Sen. Anthony Portantino, D-La Cañada Flintridge, which would determine supplemental funding for K-12 schools based

on the daily average of student enrollment numbers, is awaiting a Committee on Education hearing. “We are currently using an outdated system that only considers student attendance,” Sen. Portantino said when introducing the bill earlier this year. “Now is the perfect time to implement structural reforms that will benefit every school district in California. “The pandemic will have long-lasting impacts on student achievement and mental health. It is important more than ever that we ensure students are in school and are receiving the support they need to learn and thrive.” email: kschallhorn@newspress.com

update on Goleta’s financial outlook during the Wednesday event as well. “The pandemic has shown us where we’re most vulnerable,” Ms. Greene said. During the first year of COVID, Goleta’s hotel tax revenue decreased by nearly $2.4 million and sales tax revenue dropped by about $250,000. “For the little city of Goleta, that’s a big hit,” she said. “This ended an 18-year streak of the city’s revenue base increasing steadily while we built a healthy reserve fund.” During the second year, the city’s hotel tax revenue decreased by about $2.3 million, but that impact was offset by higher property tax, sales tax and new cannabis tax revenue, Ms. Greene said. Overall, city revenues increased by about 3% that second year, she said. Goleta’s unemployment rate peaked in April 2020 at more than 11%, said Ms. Greene. As of

January 2022, that rate had decreased to about 2%. The city has grown to 114 employees across eight departments. “As of today, revenue recovery has begun in earnest, and the city’s financial outlook is improving after the initial shock of the pandemic-related downturn,” Ms. Greene said. “But while the financial forecast looks brighter, we face challenges in keeping up with the city’s aging infrastructure. While the city weathered a downturn, it came at a cost of deferring capital and maintenance projects. Substantial investment in infrastructure is required to keep up with the needs of the community.” Goleta has released a highlight video which can be viewed at: youtube.com/ watch?v=OA4ZqBWswGw.

“We’ll keep looking at how costs evolve and revisit.” The news comes as federal inflation data this week showed producer prices are increasing at a record pace, 11.2 percent, and consumer prices are rising at the fastest rate in four decades at 8.5 percent. Amazon isn’t the only business raising prices because of inflation. A recent survey of small businesses from the National Federation of Independent Businesses found that “the net percent of owners raising average selling prices increased four points to a net 72% (seasonally adjusted), the highest reading in the survey’s history.” “Price hikes were the most frequent in wholesale (84% higher, 0% lower), construction (83% higher, 3% lower), agriculture (78% higher, 2% lower), and retail sales (77% higher, 2% lower),” the report added. “Seasonally adjusted, a net 50% of owners plan price hikes, up four points from February.” “Thirty-one percent of owners reported that inflation was the single most important problem in their business, up five points

March 19 1932 – April 7 2022

Rudi and Rosel loved to travel the world together and made it to almost every country after establishing their family. Being a big family man, they loved taking everyone on family vacations. As an avid fisherman and seafood lover, he loved taking his two sons on fishing trips to Alaska and would always indulge delicious oysters whenever he had the chance. He loved writing, researching history, and to be involved in a good intellectual conversation. Rudi was always telling his best jokes, where he would start laughing before he even made it to the punchline. Rudi is preceded in death by his two sons Norbert (Norby) Mosel and Gary (Geggy) Mosel and survived by his loving wife Rosemarie (Rosel) Mosel, daughter Heidi MoselRiedo, son-in-law Douglas Riedo, granddaughter Heather Rosemarie Riedo, grandson Sawyer Mosel, and son-in-law Marco Silva. His 90 years of life were filled with happiness, love, humor and adventure. He will be extremely missed by everyone who knew him, but nothing will be able to fill the void he has left behind. A planned celebration of life will be forthcoming.

from February and the highest reading since the first quarter of 1981,” the report added. “Inflation has now replaced ‘labor quality’ as the number one problem.” Businesses report energy costs as a top pain point when it comes to inflation, which matches federal data. The Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer data released this week showed energy costs as the most significant price increase. “Increases in the indexes for gasoline, shelter, and food were the largest contributors to the seasonally adjusted all items increase,” BLS said. “The gasoline index rose 18.3 percent in March and accounted for over half of the all items monthly increase; other energy component indexes also increased. The food index rose 1.0 percent and the food at home index rose 1.5 percent. The all items index continued to accelerate, rising 8.5 percent for the 12 months ending March, the largest 12-month increase since the period ending December 1981. “The energy index rose 32.0 percent over the last year, and the food index increased 8.8 percent, the largest 12-month increase since the period ending May 1981,” the report added.

Hearts and hands together

Piano duo to perform with Santa Barbara Symphony during world premiere

By DAVE MASON

NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

n the two hands of a talented musician, a grand piano can project an orchestral-like richness. Now imagine it with four

hands. Israeli married couple Sivan Silver and Gil Garbug will show the magic that happens when they play together on the same piano at The Granada. They’re performing with the Santa Barbara Symphony during its “Romance in a New Key” concert at 7:30 p.m. April 23 and 3 p.m. April 24. The internationally renowned piano duo and the symphony will perform during the world premiere of Concerto for Piano Four Hands and String Orchestra — Richard Dünser’s adaptation of Robert Schumann’s Piano Quartet, Opus 47. “It’s one of his (Schumann’s) most beloved pieces. It’s a very vibrant, very fast and intense piece,” Mr. Garbug told the NewsPress this week by phone from Berlin, where the couple lives. The music’s history dates back to when Schumann co-wrote Piano Quartet, Opus 47 with his wife and fellow pianist, Clara Weick Schumann. They composed it for piano, violin, viola and cello. Later, someone Schumann mentored — none other than Johannes Brahms — turned the quartet into a duet. Mr. Dunser took it a step further by adapting the music for four hands at a single piano and a string orchestra. He did that expressly for Ms. Silver and Mr. Garbug, who discussed the music’s history further with the

News-Press. “The Brahms version is much more round than Schumann,” Mr. Garbug said, noting the original quartet features tension between the piano and violin. “They compete with each other. In the Brahms version, it’s much less a competition. It’s cooperation.” Music for four hands at the piano is relatively new, Mr. Garbug said. “It developed with the development of the pianoforte. The first composer (of four-hand pieces) was Mozart. It’s some of his more experimental pieces.” The idea of four hands suggests one pianist playing a dominant melody and the other providing accompaniment, but Mr. Garbug explained that isn’t the case. “It’s not about who’s dominant.” Instead, it’s a matter of two pianists merging their emotions together. “That’s the best thing,” Mr. Garbug said. “It’s like an Indian god with four hands.” He said four hands at the piano can be reminiscent of a vocal quartet or an instrumental ensemble, depending on the piece. “The real challenge of playing four hands is to find exactly what to do with the color and the balance,” Mr. Garbug said. He recalled how he and Ms. Silver, who had their own solo careers, became a piano duo. “It started, like many things, by accident,” Mr. Garbug said. “We received an invitation to do one program, piano with four hands.” They liked it so much they kept playing as a duo — for more than 20 years. That’s what you’d call harmony in any key. email: dmason@newspress.com

REVIEW

‘Everything’ is everything funny, everything imaginative By DAVE MASON

NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

he title, “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” suggests this won’t be the typical movie. The trailer confirms it: Michelle Yeoh stars as an immigrant who connects with her doppelgangers across the multiverse.

But wait until you see this film. Wow. “Everything Everywhere All At Once” is full of unexpected twists and turns, and the best ones won’t be spoiled here. See this film. You’ll find it one of the most imaginative, funniest and strangest movies you’ve ever seen. All those elements work together in its favor. Ms. Yeoh is reason enough to

see “Everything Everywhere All At Once.” She has a special talent for taking a script and making it her own. In this film, Ms. Yeoh stars as Evelyn Wang, who owns a Laundromat with her husband, Waymond Wang (Ke Huy Quan), and they’re taking care of her father, Gong Gong (the great James Hong). Evelyn deals with a lot of things, including her

strained relationship with her daughter Joy Wang (Stephanie Hsu). On top of that, Evelyn and Waymond are trying to iron out problems with the Internal Revenue Service, and auditor Deirdre Beaubeirdra (Jamie Lee Curtis in an inspired performance) is one tough cookie. With her life in shambles, Evelyn suddenly gets a visit from

Waymond’s doppelganger from another universe, who tells her the multiverse needs Evelyn to save it from some mysterious evil. Evelyn reluctantly becomes a hero, and she does all sorts of battles in a story full of metaphors and lessons about personal growth. On top of that, it’s a relentless comedy that got an audience laughing enthusiastically at a theater

screening last weekend. Directors and writers Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert have done a masterful job of guiding a compelling story, which, despite its complexity, is actually easy to follow. They don’t mind breaking some cinematic traditions along the way, and the result is a refreshingly original movie. email: dmason@newspress.com

Sherman Crawford, facilities manager, and Michael Quijada discuss repairs to the auditorium in 1985 at the Goleta Valley Community Center. The Hollister Avenue site has continued to serve the community since then. Recently more work was done on the building. The center reopened in March of this year with renovated classrooms, but the auditorium and dining hall remain closed. And $3 million has been earmarked in federal money for the center, which needs seismic and Americans with Disabilities Act updates. “The funding will be critical to allow the reopening of the auditorium and return the (community center) to a vibrant community hub,” Goleta Mayor Paula Perotte has said.

SANTA BARBARA — The SB Acoustic Guitar Series will present virtuosos Sean McGowan and Pierre Bensusan at 7:30 p.m. Sunday at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club, 1221 State St., No. 205, Santa Barbara. Mr. Benusan is a acoustic guitar master and composer. His new CD is “Azwan.” Born in French-Algeria, he moved to Paris with his family when he was 4. Influenced in those early days by the folk revival blooming in Britain, France and North America, Mr. Bensusan began to explore his diverse musical heritage, then moved on to new horizons. He signed his first recording contract at 17, and one year later his first album, “Près de Paris,” was released in Switzerland. Mr. McGowan is a fingerstyle jazz guitarist who combines many diverse musical influences with unconventional techniques, according to a news release. His first recording “River Coffee” won the Best Independent Release of the Year Award (2002) from Acoustic Guitar magazine. His most recent solo guitar recordings include “Thanksgiving & Christmas Tidings” (2014) a

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.

ARIES — You could be startled to find that your artistic talents, although dormant for a while, are called into service today. A particular undertaking of those around you could benefit from your gift in this area. Don’t panic, Aries, you won’t be expected to do this alone. Others will pitch in and help. TAURUS — This could be a tough day for you emotionally. It might surprise you to find that some very old, deep-seated feelings get churned up in the course of investigating a subject of keen interest to you. It might be difficult to process these feelings. Don’t try to intellectualize them too much, Taurus. GEMINI — Things could be up and down for you today, Gemini. You might experience some confusion as a result of communication snafus or computer glitches that affect financial issues you’re trying to solve. Persevere and you’ll succeed. Don’t be surprised if you’re recruited to join a project that is totally new to you. You may be apprehensive at first, but you’ll do just fine. CANCER — You might be feeling a little tense because you and your partner are grappling with some thorny financial issues right now, Cancer. You could be frustrated because you need to postpone some purchases or investments until the cash starts flowing more freely again. The good news is that this is a fine time to work out such a conflict to a satisfactory resolution. LEO — This will be an exciting day for you intellectually, Leo. A number of intriguing concepts will catch your fancy, and you’ll be hungry to learn more about them right away. Your research could take you to a library or onto the Internet. The topics might relate to social or political issues. As irresistible as these new ideas are, don’t forget to tend to the business of everyday life. VIRGO — You’ll want to respond to your creative juices, which will be flowing freely today, Virgo. Don’t suppress the urge to sing, compose, paint, or write. You’ll be in the full flower of creativity, so make the most of it. You’ll be able to take care of your daily obligations and still make room for your creative expression. LIBRA — Tugs on the home front could be pulling you away

from attending an event with friends that you’ve been looking forward to for some time. Try to be reasonable and sort out the needs of those at home with kindness in your heart. You might be able to address those issues and still have time to be with your friends later. Just remember to keep your priorities straight, Libra. SCORPIO — Cool heads will be needed today, Scorpio, as tempers may flare at work because of frustration with ongoing problems. You might need to take the lead in keeping everyone calm by facilitating clear and open communication. It will be important to keep emotions in check or words will fly that people may regret. This is a temporary situation. SAGITTARIUS — If you find yourself second-guessing plans you made earlier, Sagittarius, perhaps for a plane trip, try to look objectively at your concerns. You don’t have to cancel everything if you have money worries. Your fears will probably turn out to be unfounded. This could be a good time to look into learning more about modern technology, either by enrolling in a class or attending a lecture. CAPRICORN — You might find yourself wrestling some ongoing, unresolved issues that could interfere with your ability to do your job. Be mindful that you’re a bit brittle today, particularly if you’re working on financial matters, Capricorn. The last thing you want is a major battle with those around you, so do your best to keep a cool head. AQUARIUS — There is a possibility that you’ll fall into a bit of a regression today as old feelings of anxiety or inadequacy surface. Although you’ve reached a good place in terms of selfconfidence, some old childhood fears could resurface. The old emotions that bubble up could impede your interactions with your co-workers or friends today, so be mindful of what lies under the surface for you, Aquarius. PISCES — OK, up and at ‘em, Pisces! You might feel like you’re walking through sand today, but you really need to shake your booty and get the blood flowing. If you don’t get up and do something, you’ll be a slug all day. You need to clear your head and cast off that bloated feeling. Most importantly, you want to get a good start to the day so you can accomplish everything that awaits you.
