House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy came to Santa Barbara Thursday to reflect on the life of President Ronald Reagan and discuss today’s Republican Party. Rep. McCarthy, R-Bakersfield, spoke at the Reagan Ranch Center on State Street, where he noted his first voting experience came when President Reagan was running for his second term in office. The representative told the audience that it was Mr. Reagan’s policies and principles that led him to join the Republican Party as a young man. To this day, he even has a portrait of the late president hanging in his congressional office. “If you ever were in my office, you’ll see a Reagan portrait,” Mr. McCarthy told the audience. “The Reagan portrait is in color, and he’s smiling. “You know why I chose that picture? Because what Reagan would tell us is if you believe in your principles, and if you believe your principles bring people more freedom and liberty, then there’s no reason to be angry. And many times in our party, we think we have to be angry to prove we’re conservative. Reagan proved the opposite.” He later added, “If Reagan was here, and he wanted to give us advice, he’d tell us peace without freedom is meaningless. Think about for one moment: Peace without freedom is meaningless. And you can apply that to any

What you have to understand is peace without freedom — it’s human nature that we all crave peace, but you cannot obtain it without having freedom.” During his address, Rep. McCarthy reflected on the past year, mentioning the challenges of the pandemic, former President Donald Trump’s loss

of the election and the loss of the Republican majority in both houses of Congress. “From legislators, you may sit back and you may think the last election was a bad election,” Rep. McCarthy said. “The president didn’t turn out the way we wanted — I think if he didn’t have the pandemic, he would have won very big. “The Senate, we thought for sure they would win. I think by losing Georgia, personally I think it’s malpractice. If you’re a Republican (and) you run in Georgia, you start with a 4%

advantage. You run in California, you’re down 10 points to start out with.” Despite these losses, Rep. McCarthy said no Republican incumbents in Congress were defeated in 2020, marking the first time this has happened since 1994. Even in 2010 when the Republicans won the House majority, there were incumbents who still lost, Rep. McCarthy added. Rep. McCarthy was the keynote speaker for Thursday’s Please see MCCARTHY on A2

Vandenberg and economy’s future

The city of Santa Barbara will resume discussions next week about the future of the historic Mission Creek Bridge and Mission Canyon Road. The talks will begin with a presentation to the Historic Landmarks Commission Wednesday about improvement options for the bridge and surrounding roads. This meeting comes after years of discussions over the proper way to preserve the historic nature of the bridge while making sure it is safe for the community. Back in 2018, the Santa Barbara City Council allocated more than $1 million in funds to begin the Mission Canyon Bridge Project, which sought input from Wallace Group consultants on ways to potentially improve the bridge structure and safety of the road while maintaining its

historical charm. After completing studies and assessing the area, the Wallace Group has developed three potential options for configuration of the bridge and three options to improve the safety of Mission Canyon Road. One proposed option suggests retaining the stone structure, while the two other proposals recommend tearing down the bridge and constructing a new one. The Historic Landmarks Commission will hear these proposals during Wednesday’s meeting, offering feedback to the city on whether these proposals align with the preservation of the bridge. The preservation of the Mission Creek Bridge is of high concern for residents living in the area, though the efforts to protect the bridge have fractured locals into two different camps.

LOMPOC — Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s detectives are asking the public’s help to find a missing Lompoc man. At approximately 3 p.m. May 28, the wife of 50-year-old John Mario Fuegos reported him missing with the Lompoc Police Department. Mr. Fuegos reportedly left his residence in Lompoc around 11 p.m. May 24, riding a black 2003 Suzuki (unknown model) motorcycle with a California license plate 22P6615. He was wearing motorcyclist-style clothing. Mr. Fuegos’ intended destination was in Arizona, but at around 3 a.m.May 25, he texted his family to say that he was in Filmore and would be heading back home. Mr. Fuegos sent his family another text at around 6 a.m. May 25, and he has not been heard from since. On Tuesday, Mr. Fuegos’ wife contacted Sheriff’s Dispatch and requested that deputies check the highways for any sign of Mr. Fuegos or his motorcycle. Deputies drove along Highway 101 and State Route 1, while CHP Air Support searched the same area from the air, but Mr. Fuegos was not located. On Wednesday, based on cell phone records, deputies searched the area of Toro Canyon Road, San Ysidro, State Route 192 and Highway 101 on the ground while CHP Air Support searched the

same area from above. Neither Mr. Fuegos nor his motorcycle was located. Mr. Fuegos’ cell phone records indicate he might have spent several hours at the Jack-In-TheBox restaurant on Citrus Drive in Ventura in the early morning hours of May 25, but detectives were unable to locate him on any of the video surveillance at that location. Anyone who might have seen Mr. Fuegos or know his possible whereabouts is encouraged to contact the Criminal Investigations Bureau at 805681-4150.

Santa Barbara County reports six COVID-19 cases By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Data collected by public health authorities show a low presence of COVID-19 variants apart from the U.S. West Coast Variant in Santa Barbara County. “Identifying the variants that have circulated in our community reminds us how imperative it is to use all the tools at our disposal to prevent their continued spread, including getting vaccinated,” Dr. Henning Ansorg, Santa Barbara County health officer, said in a news release. “The COVID-19 vaccines we have available are safe and effective against variants of concern. If you choose a vaccine that requires two doses, I urge you to complete the full vaccine series

and get both doses because only the completed vaccine series will provide full protection against these variants.” The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department, Cottage Health and UCSB continue to research variants. Their data is now joined by California Department of Public Health and CDC surveillance, increasing the sample size. The agencies identified 858 samples collected between March 2020 and May 2021. A total of 12 samples, or 2%, tested as the P.1 variant, a CDC variant of concern that was originally detected in Japan and Brazil. The P.1 variant comprises 3% of the variant samples statewide.

Researchers did not find any samples of the B.1.351 variant, which originated in South Africa and is another variant of concern. Just two samples, or less than 1%, tested for the B.1.617 variant, which was first caught in India and labeled a variant of interest. Researchers targeted these samples due to concerns after travel from India. The U.S. West Coast Variant, also known as B.1.427/B.1.429 was present in 55% of samples. The CDC has labeled it a variant of concern. The data is expanded on the Santa Barbara County Community Data Dashboard’s “Variant Surveillance” tab at sbcdashboard.org. Officials at the Santa

event, which featured two Western Caucus panels on “Water, Disaster Relief and Fire Prevention” and the “Need for Strategic & Critical Mineral Development in America.” While the representative’s comments on these topics were brief in his address, he told the audience that Republican Party members in California should remain strong on land protection policy despite holding the minority in Congress. As Californians, Rep. McCarthy said, the representatives and their constituents are the “keepers of the land.” “We’re going to talk about the (environmental) challenges that we have because people don’t understand unless they’re from

the West,” Rep. McCarthy said. “I don’t care if you’re the party and you’re on the East Coast, you concreted over all your property, and then you want to tell us how to manage ours. We’re the ones who are the keepers of the land. “This is why you have the animals out here, this is why you have the beauty that we have… But denying (our enjoyment) is going to destroy our land from the fires and others. And this is why we have to unite to be stronger.” He continued, “I don’t know if you remember back in the day, when Ronald Reagan created the whole campaign, the ‘War on the West’, you remember that? This is what we have to recreate, because that’s exactly what continues to go on. We have to unite people around it.”

Goleta City Council moves temporary event provisions By GRAYCE MCCORMICK

NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Students from Santa Barbara high schools swung into action during the CIF girls golf individual championships Wednesday at Los Robles Golf Course in Thousand Oaks. A total of 130 girls competed. Four of them were from the Channel League. Santa Barbara High School athletes Lizzie Goss and Melia Haller both shot identical 38-43 rounds of 81 to tie for 53rd place. Goss and Haller and their Santa Barbara High School girls team will compete in the CIF girls golf team championship on Tuesday in Riverside County. San Marcos High School freshman Jayla Provance took 47th place with a 38-41 round of 79, just missing the cut by two strokes. Chelsi Ramirez of Dos Pueblos High School carded a 93 to take 105th place. SAN MARCOS BOYS’ GOLF San Marcos High School’s golf players Leo Metzger shot a 75 and Jeffrey Forster, a 77, Wednesday during the CIF-SS Northern Regional (Individuals) at Los Robles Greens in Moorpark. “Not the best day for either, but both players are young and gained some experience from the event,” Head Coach Jeff Ashton said. “Neither will advance to the next round.” BISHOP GARCIA DIEGO HIGH SCHOOL Bishop Garcia Diego High School’s baseball team lost its first playoff game of 2021 Wednesday against Claremont High School. The score was 8-5. But there were great moments such as Gabe Martinez hitting a three-run homer in the top of the fifth inning to take the lead 5-3. Nico Sanchez scored two runs and got a hit on the first pitch of the game. Ashton Pelly and Devin Goodwin had one hit a piece. “We competed against a school with an enrollment of almost 2,400 students,” Head Coach Pete Stathopoulos said. “I’m very proud of my team of 11 players that battled pitch for pitch. We had them on their heels up 5-3 going to the 5th inning. We definitely played by our battle cry, ‘Return with your shield or on it.’” During the game, Jack Stowe pitched five hits and two strikeouts. Pelly pitched three hits and one strikeout. Sanchez pitched four hits and one strikeout. CARPINTERIA HIGH SCHOOL WINS The Carpinteria High School baseball team beat the highly touted Roadrunners of Crossroads 1-0 Wednesday in a CIF SS Division VI Wildcard game that turned out to be a pitchers’ duel.

of Beverly Hills. The Warriors are the third-place representative of the Citrus Coast League. The Roadrunners represent the Gold Coast League. Miles Souza (8-2) toed the rubber for the Warriors while Leo Rochman (6-5) was his Crossroads counterpart. The game became a pitchers’ duel as Souza retired the first three Roadrunners in order during the game at Carpinteria, said Patrick Cooney, the athletic director at Carpinteria High School. Carpinteria was able to push across the game’s only run in the first inning as Luke Lounsbury walked, and Erich Goebel bunted him to second. Souza moved the runner to third base with a long fly to right field. And Hunter Garcia lined a fastball to the right to score the run. email: dmason@newspress.com

The Goleta City Council voted this week to relocate temporary event provisions to a new chapter of the city’s code. The provisions will now be in a section separate from the zoning ordinance. The move will allow the city to consistently evaluate and permit temporary events and special events that meet basic health, safety and community welfare standards. A temporary event permit will be required for: gatherings of 500 or more attendees on a privately owned active recreational facility, gatherings of 100 or more people on any nonresidential privately owned property that is not exempted and outdoor sales that meet certain conditions. Events that are exempt include: seasonal youth leagues on privately owned recreation facilities, events pursuant to leases of city property, events accessory to allowed uses, garage sales, residential gatherings, car washes held by nonprofits and more. “We’re only going to be as effective as we can be if we’re ahead of the curve educating the public, law enforcement and all our staff (that) has to know what the rules and regulations are to give people the right direction to allow them to do what they want to do in a safe manner,” Councilman Roger Aceves said at Tuesday’s City Council meeting. “I don’t want the public to think we’re overlooking a protest or any group of people that want to come and have an event

… We want to make sure they do it safely so that the public is not impacted or someone gets injured.” Councilman Kyle Richards said he thinks the change is a “great improvement” to Goleta’s current process. “It’s not about limiting free speech — it’s about allowing free speech in a safe way,” he said. Council members also heard an annual report from the South Coast Youth Safety Partnership and authorized Goleta as a sponsor jurisdiction,

‘We’re only going to be as effective as we can be if we’re ahead of the curve educating the public, law enforcement and all our staff ’ giving a little over $20,000. The presentation outlined the shooting incidents in 2021 that occurred on the South Coast and the partnership’s objectives in addressing youth violence. The council asked for more Goleta-specific information, and staff shared that in Goleta, the partnership has maintained an average of 16 youth under probation terms, and that number has not increased. However, there wasn’t much

Frances Mueller peacefully passed away at her home on May 25, 2021. Frances was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana on February 2, 1923. She was the twelfth of thirteen children born to Dominic and Anna Gennuso. Frances was the Valedictorian of the 1940 graduating class from Lake Charles High School, where Frances actively participated in many clubs. She was a member of the Wildcat Staff which published the school paper, the National Honor Society, the French Club and the Girl Reserves, where she volunteered time for community service projects. She proudly marched with the Kilties at Lake Charles High School as a charter member of the first all-girl drill team in Louisiana. The team was known for its fast-stepping precision drills, its unique drum cadences and tartan plaid uniforms. Frances also competed in the Louisiana State Rally in shorthand and typing. She won first place in the regionals in Lafayette and placed as a finalist in Baton Rouge. During her Senior year at Lake Charles High School, she won the posture contest and was voted Most Intelligent. After graduating from high school, Frances attended McNeese State University on scholarship where she studied secretarial sciences. While at McNeese, Frances participated in the Drama Club and the Newman Club, a Catholic faith-based organization. Frances also won the part of the lead character, Lucille, in the play “Hyacinth.” Frances spent many years as an Executive Secretary working in medical, dental and insurance offices. She also worked for Gulf Oil Company and the Lake Charles Water Company. Frances met her soulmate, Joseph Mueller, in the Spring of 1957 when Joe was playing minor league baseball in Lake Charles. Introduced by Frances’ brother Sammy, the Sports Editor of the Lake Charles American Press, Joe and Frances quickly began what would become a three-year, long-distance courtship while Joe traveled the country playing baseball and completing his Master’s Degree at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. On August 18, 1960, Frances and Joe married in Las Vegas, Nevada and moved to San Luis Obispo, California where Joe was teaching and coaching at Morro Bay High School. Frances and Joe later moved to Santa Barbara in 1965 when Joe accepted a teaching and coaching position at San Marcos High School. Santa Barbara became Frances’ home for the next 56 years. Frances was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She was an excellent cook, and beloved by all who were fortunate to make her acquaintance for her quick wit and graciousness. She was deeply committed to her Catholic faith and will be profoundly missed by friends, family and all who knew her. Frances is survived by her husband Joe of 60 years, children Ron Rollosson, Jane Wagner and Anna Mueller-Ellis (Scott), grandchildren Justin Wagner, Johanna Wagner Raum (Mike), Ethan Ellis and Parker Ellis and numerous nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by twelve siblings and her parents. A Rosary Vigil will be held at 7:00 p.m. on June 7, 2021 at Welch-Ryce-Haider in Goleta, followed by a Funeral Mass at 10:00 a.m. on June 8, 2021 at St. Raphael’s Catholic Church. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Ridley-Tree Cancer Center or VNA Health.

GOLDSWORTHY, Lois Marie (Fink)

Lois Marie (Fink) Goldsworthy, 77, of Goleta, CA and Melrose, MN passed away at home May 28, 2021. Lois grew up in Melrose, MN and attended St. Cloud school of nursing. In 1966 she married the love of her life Jack M. Goldsworthy at Big Birch Lake. They moved to Santa Barbara, CA. where they began their life together. Lois had a fulfilling lifelong career as a devoted Registered Nurse serving the geriatric community of Santa Barbara, CA. Family time was very important to Lois, she loved (and sometimes encouraged) the antics of her children and grandchildren at very frequent family dinners and BBQs. Just days before her passing she partook in a water balloon fight with her family! Lois was very proud that her children found partners in life and have families of their own. She has four children, and six grandchildren. Lois also has many nieces, nephews, cousins and lifelong friends who are all very important to her. She can finally play bingo in heaven with her sisters Butsy and Nettie. She is preceded in death by her father and mother, Matthew and Agnes (Schreifels) Fink, step-mother Genevieve Fink, her eldest sister Janet A. (Nettie) Goihl and sister Marlene (Butsy) Duerr. Lois is survived by her husband of 55 years Jack M. Goldsworthy; brother Gerald (Jerry) Fink, daughter and son-in-law Mary K. and Clayton E. Fulcher; son and daughter-inlaw Michael J. Goldsworthy and Randi Ehrenborg; daughter and son-in-law Jean L. and Bradley T. Janssen; and son and daughter-in-law Joshua J. and Cara A. (Ingram) Goldsworthy. Her six grandchildren are Justin Fulcher, Jessica (Fulcher) Wright, Breece Ehrenborg, Katherine Janssen, Skylar Goldsworthy and Asa Goldsworthy. Lois spent her final days with family and friends. She wished for people to celebrate life and not mourn it. We are very grateful to the care and support from Dr. Tom Watson, Dr. Gregg Newmann and Marissa Jobe, PA . To help others with a cancer diagnosis we would appreciate donations to the Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara or VNA Health. As a final note, Lois was able to spend a few more weeks with us due to the generosity of blood donors. Our entire family cannot express enough the importance of blood donation.

ARONSON, MaryAnn and Robert “Bob” MaryAnn Aronson died very peacefully at the age of 79 in Napa Valley, CA on May 5, 2021. She is survived by her children David Joel Sciuto (Montecito, CA), Esther Joy McEntire (St. Helena, CA), Micah Joseph Sciuto (Oahu, HI). Mary Ann was born Sept. 19, 1941, in Tullahoma, TN. She worked for the Credit Union of Santa Barbara, Store Manager Yost Appliance and Front Desk Manager SB Hotel Group (Inn by the Harbor). She raised three children with laughter, hugs and kisses, and the knowledge of Jehovah God Almighty. She would pray every night with her young children. She was an avid reader of the Bible starting at age 7 to her death at 79. She knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that she had found the truth of the Bible, the past, the present and the future promises of Jehovah God. She never missed a meeting at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses and truly loved her international brotherhood of true friends around the earth. She helped numerous people to learn about Jehovah and have faith in, true justice and true peace, to be found through God’s government. She was very kind, patient, and had a contagious laugh. We lost an amazing woman in MaryAnn. We know that Jehovah will “heal the broken-hearted” as Psa. 147:3 states, and that there is no darkness too dark for Jehovah to find us and comfort us. Like MaryAnn, her family strongly believes in the resurrection promise found in the Bible very soon to come on earth. (Rev. 21:3,4; Psa. 37:29) In 1984 she met the love of her life, Robert “Bob” Aronson and together they raised their children with a deep love for each other. To learn more of this resurrection promise please go to JW.ORG. The website is in 1,032 languages. MaryAnn’s zoom funeral will be held on Sat. June 5th @ 2PM. Robert “Bob” Aronson died peacefully at the age of 78 in Napa Valley, CA on Sept 6, 2020. He is survived by his children David Joel Sciuto, Esther Joy McEntire, Micah Joseph Sciuto, Debi Pizzo Greenwood (Lancaster, CA) Robert Greenwood (Valencia ,CA) Dove Harrington (Nipomo, CA). Bob was born in Chicago IL on Feb. 5, 1942. Bob served in the Vietnam war as a Field Hospital Medic. He was stationed in Fort Hamilton NY and Stuttgart Germany. After honorable discharge he opened Bob’s Mirrors in Chicago IL. Upon his arrival to Santa Barbara, he worked for the Santa Barbara News-Press, TMC phone sales and several insurance companies. Bob was raised in a Jewish and Lutheran home. With Bob’s religious background, and then serving as a medic for the military and being decorated as a marksman, he became disillusioned as to the God he thought he believed in. In 1972 he lost a daughter in death and repeatedly asked “If there is a God, why does he allow wickedness and grief?” After a knock on his door by Jehovah’s Witnesses he spent countless hours trying to disprove their beliefs. After an intense study of the Bible itself in Hebrew and Greek, with all his Bible translations lined up, he could not disprove the beliefs of Jehovah’s Witnesses or the promise the Bible holds out of a resurrection on earth. It filled the void in his heart when he knew he would see his daughter again in the resurrection, promised by God. (Titus 1:2) He was baptized that same year at the Ventura Fairgrounds. He passionately wanted all to know of God’s government that would bring true justice for all of mankind. He never missed meetings at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses and studied the Bible with many people with a passion for truth. He married the love of his life in MaryAnn and was a true romantic with cards, roses, and gifts for over 36 years. He truly was the best father we could ever have. We were so grateful for a spiritual loving father. He enjoyed going to LA Dodger games and Cubs games at Wrigley Field. He also loved the excitement of taking the kids grunion hunting and watching them surf at Ledbetter beach! We look forward to the time when he will be resurrected to a paradise earth, where he will see his reflection in a lake and say, “I made it.” This was his dying wish. Zoom funeral was held Oct. 3, 2020, with over 600 in attendance. He was a dearly loved man. Thank you to the hundreds of friends who have given such unending love and support to Bob, MaryAnn, and our entire family. Thank you for Hospice of Santa Barbara and Collabria Hospice Napa Valley, Alexander Gardens of Santa Barbara and St. Helena Home Care for their excellent caregiving skills and loving bedside manner. Thank you for the cards, the flowers, the encouraging scriptures, the meals, and your genuine love. We will never forget it.

more information specifically about Goleta in the report, which council members expressed concern with. Mr. Aceves voted against the motion providing $20,000 to the organization, saying that while he’s thankful none of the shooting events have occurred in Goleta, he wants to see a better picture of the issues in the city and numbers that assist the partnership in bringing nonprofits together. “Your responsibility is to make sure your various members respond to the issues in the communities,” he said. “... I would hope that at some point, you come back to us with what our constituents want to know. They see it, but they want to hear it from you as to what we’re doing.” Mayor Pro Tempore James Kyriaco mentioned that the South Coast Youth Safety Partnership is a regional effort and regional numbers show that in terms of youth violence, “everything’s not just better, but everything’s a lot better.” “Obviously, we need to have newer data and Goletaspecific data, but this is an interconnected regional community and the person who commits a shooting a mile from Goleta’s borders might get arrested in Goleta’s borders,” he said. “Ultimately, our fates will all rise and fall together, and I think it’s important we stay in this together.”

Universal Studios Hollywood reopens with new animals By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

e scared. Two angry dinosaurs are battling a few feet above you. And that’s before you go screaming in a big boat down a waterfall! You can experience that thrill at Universal Studios Hollywood, which reopened in April to large but socially distanced, maskwearing crowds. Among the popular attractions are Jurassic World, an upgraded version of the Jurassic Park water ride with a new dinosaur: the Indominus rex, who’s fighting the Tyrannosaurus rex. If you prefer less aggressive critters, try the new Secret Lives of Pets: Off the Leash, a dark ride with technologically advanced animals from the animated movies. As lines show, it’s proving popular. But if you’re craving action, go on the lower lot, where you’ll fall — literally — for Jurassic World. There, the Indominus rex stands more than 22 feet high and is made realistic with subtle blinking of the eyes, flexing of her arms and claws, and clenching of her jaws. “She’s big, and she moves really quickly,” Jon Corfino Sr., director and executive producer of Universal Creative, told the News-Press this week by phone from Universal Studios Hollywood. “We’re very pleased with the way it came out.” Mr. Corfino has visited the ride to see guests’ reaction, which he said has been positive. “It’s really fun to see how blown away they are,” Mr. Corfino said. “I get a lot of emails and read blogs. People are having the reaction you would hope they would. You’re on this ride, and within four feet above your head is the Tyrannosaurus rex. It’s spectacular. “I get a tremendous thrill because when you come up with these ideas, you’re seeing them in your head and you’re planning. You’re seeing how real it can hopefully be, and to see it executed that well is really cool,” Mr. Corfino said. “You go to that place where you have that suspension of disbelief. You see these two creatures engage.” Mr. Corfino said he and his team worked closely with Frank Marshall, executive producer of the “Jurassic World” movies, and Colin Trevorrow, director of the first “Jurassic World” (2015), on the ride. Besides the dinosaurs, the attraction features (without giving away too much) stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. Mr. Corfino noted he is a fan of the first “Jurassic Park” movie (1993). “There’s that moment in the first film when they land on the island and see their first dinosaur. It touches the dream inside all of us.” Mr. Corfino worked with another kind of dream on the Secret Lives of Pets: Off the Leash ride, which involves Please see UNIVERSAL on B2

The Potter Hotel was built 1902 and opened the next year on west Cabrillo Boulevard. The Santa Barbara luxury hotel boasted six stories, 400 rooms, three dining rooms that could hold more than 700 guests and a great view of the beach and the ocean, according to sbunknown. wordpress.com. In 1919, the hotel was sold and renamed the Belvedere Hotel. That December, it became the Ambassador Hotel after being sold again. A fire destroyed the hotel on April 13, 1921. The next day, the Daily News, a predecessor to the News-Press, predicted a fireproof and modern hotel would rise from the ashes, citing the feelings of officials associated with the Ambassador Corp. But the hotel was never rebuilt.

Blue whales are back in SB Channel By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Summer whale watching season is officially back in Ventura, which means so are the Blue Whales. Island Packers Cruises staff is asking locals and visitors to imagine how it feels “when anticipation collides with realization and the largest creature on the planet roils to the surface.” They say there are no guarantees whale watchers will catch a glimpse of a Blue Whale, but the experience is “so worth the roll of the dice.” “Humbling,” Island Packers Operational Manager Matt Kelly said in a news release. “The size, all of the statistics, the majesty of the Blue Whale, and the peaceful strength is inspiring.” Island Packers Cruises, a familyowned and operated business, has been bringing visitors and whales together in the waters off Ventura for more than 50 years. From roughly June through mid-September, Humpback Whales join the Blue Whales in the Santa Barbara Channel off Ventura, both species attracted

The iconic rock band Foreigner announced that it will perform an orchestral concert this October at the Santa Barbara Bowl. The band is known for popular anthems such as “I Want To Know What Love Is,” “Cold As Ice,” “Waiting For A Girl Like You” and “Hot Blooded.” Foreigner is presenting its hits with a 58-piece orchestra and a 60-piece choir. In May 2017, the band performed two sold-out shows in Lucerne, Switzerland, together with the 21st Century Symphony Orchestra

& Chorus, conducted by Ernst van Tiel. Foreigner with the 21st Century Symphony Orchestra & Chorus represents this year-long collaboration between Foreigner’s founding member and lead guitarist Mick Jones and Grammynominated composing/arranging team, Dave Eggar and Chuck Palmer. Dave Eggar, Juilliard protégé and cellist/pianist/composer, and Chuck Palmer, producer/ writer/percussionist, have toured, performed and recorded with artists such as Paul Simon, James Taylor, Patti Smith and Coldplay. “I could never have imagined when I set out to create Foreigner

40 years ago, that we’d still be touring around the world and performing the music we love all these years later,” Mick Jones said in a news release. “Dave Eggar and Chuck Palmer’s orchestral arrangements have shown us a new symphonic dimension of our music, which I hope our fans will enjoy.” The two sold-out shows in Switzerland inspired a string of U.S. orchestral concert dates, including a stop at Santa Barbara Bowl on Oct. 2. Tickets go on sale today at noon via axs.com. Together with The Dave Eggar Orchestra, Foreigner provides an opportunity for U.S. fans

64 technologically advanced animated figures, including the movie franchise’s characters Max, Snowball, Gidget, Chloe and Duke. Their eyes blink, their eyebrows move, their heads tilt, and best of all, some of the animals like to talk. Go say hi to Max and Duke in the queue line! “It was a tremendous team effort, along with our friends and partners at Illumination (the studio behind the movies),” Mr. Corfino said. “We tried to think for ourselves: How do we go inside that environment, inside that world?” The attraction answers that question with a nontraditional queue line in which guests go upstairs and through rooms (kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, etc.) and see the animals. On the ride itself, passengers see that they’re puppies and end up meeting their permanent family. “That is the best day in the life of a pet or a pet owner,” Mr. Corfino said. “It has that nice, emotional heart string.”

The ride takes visitors, who discovered they’re pets themselves, through a city and finally to a family who will adopt them. Everyone gets a home!

ARIES — After the emotional havoc you went through over the last few weeks, the period beginning today will be quite soothing. You can take advantage of these smoother, calmer waters to rediscover emotional harmony and improve the balance of your energy flow. Moreover, Aries, if your physical health isn’t quite adequate, the weeks ahead should give you a chance to rest and recuperate. TAURUS — The celestial configuration is speaking of a new period in which you focus on the way you differentiate yourself from others, Taurus. Are you aware of the aspects that make you unique? If not, meditate on the subject or ask close friends for input. The upcoming weeks are going to teach you a lot about this subject! GEMINI — This is the beginning of a new cycle, Gemini. There will be new issues cropping up over the next several days. You may have to rethink certain principles that you’ve adhered to in your relationships up until now. Upon reflection, you find that you no longer agree with them. It seems that the conventions and social graces required by society are weighing you down. CANCER — This is a pleasant day, Cancer. Indeed, the celestial aspects are predicting that it will be rather radiant, though likely less intense than the past week or so. You probably had some new perspectives to set up in your professional life, and now you will have to get to work setting goals! You were waiting for just this moment? Perfect! LEO — Are you ready, Leo? Are you in shape for what’s going to happen? The celestial aspects are heralding a new cycle that will be filled to the brim with activities, new people, and new professional perspectives. Let’s hope that you’ve been able to rest up lately. If you haven’t, try to schedule in some afternoon naps! VIRGO — Will there be change in you during the next few weeks, Virgo? This is always the question that one asks with this changing planetary environment.

Codeword is a fun game with simple rules, and a great way to test your knowledge of the English language. Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

Avengers campus opens

BRIDGE

Continued from Page A1 On one side, some residents believe that structural updates should be made to the bridge for safety purposes, while others believe the bridge should remain untouched. Fred Sweeney, president of the Mission Heritage Trails Association, leads a coalition of residents who believe structural and road surface changes should be made to the bridge while maintaining its historical status. In addition to updates to the bridge, the MHTA is calling for safety enhancements along Mission Canyon Road for the protection of pedestrians and bikers in the area. According to Mr. Sweeney, the bridge currently has a rating of 52 out of 100 on Caltrans’ inspection standards. Once the bridge reaches a ranking of 50, Caltrans can step in and make changes to update the structure of the bridge. In 2017, MHTA funded a traffic study that found between 400 and 500 people walk across the bridge daily and about 10,000 vehicles cross the bridge every day. “We as community members don’t want (Caltrans) just to do anything. We want to be very careful about whatever it is,” Mr. Sweeney told reporters during a meeting Thursday at Rocky Nook Park, which is near the bridge. “Whatever they touch in this canyon has to reflect the thing that we all love about this canyon — it’s real nature,” Mr. Sweeney said. “We don’t want concrete sidewalks and gutters. We don’t want hard surfaces that don’t look anything like this canyon; we don’t want landscaping that’s foreign to this canyon. We don’t want any of that. “And if they have to touch the bridge, then there are ways to take those stones off, number them, put them back on,” he said. “There’s a whole protocol for how you do that, to fix the bridge. So it’s not blowing up the bridge;

The future of Mission Creek Bridge remains of utmost concern for members of the Mission Heritage Trails Association, a coalition of residents who desire to preserve the bridge’s historical charm even if structural changes need to be made.

nobody’s proposing that. We don’t endorse that at all. We endorse saving (Mission Canyon).” Still, another coalition of residents opposes any changes to the bridge, claiming that structural changes are impossible without completely destroying the current bridge. Lanny Ebenstein, a resident of Mission Canyon for more than 58 years, leads the Coalition to Preserve Mission Canyon, a group that formed in favor of leaving the bridge untouched. According to Mr. Ebenstein, his coalition represents hundreds of residents who do not believe there is a good reason to consider renovating the bridge at this point in time. Mr. Ebenstein pointed to the bridge surviving the 1925 earthquake and multiple floods as evidence for its structural security, saying there’s not a “structural reason” for these proposals at this current point in time. “Our position is clear — and that is that this is a proposal for

demotion of the historical Mission Creek Bridge,” Mr. Ebenstein told the News-Press. “It’s not a minor alteration; it’s not fixing a pothole. It’s tearing down the existing bridge and building a new bridge, a bigger bridge, a wider bridge. Our group, which represents hundreds of local residents, believes that this would be a community mistake of the first order that would negatively influence Santa Barbara for decades and centuries to come.” He later added, “It would be a great community mistake if this proposal were to go forward.” Despite opposition from the Coalition to Preserve Mission Canyon, members of the Mission Heritage Trails Association see changes to the bridge being an inevitable outcome, and they desire to step in to ensure the bridge’s history is preserved when changes are made. “Our role is, first of all, to make sure that something is being done, because we know that the bridge is inadequate at this point,” MHTA member Karl Hutterer

said during Thursday’s meeting. “We know that. And each one of us has stories to tell about it. But in the end, our role is not to say what has to be done, but to be watchdogs to make sure that there is the optimal marriage between historic preservation, public safety and functionality of that corridor.” Mr. Sweeney echoed this sentiment, saying the idea of leaving the bridge untouched is “not logical.” “You’ve got to be able to do what you need to do to make it safe,” Mr. Sweeney said. “But you can do it in such a way that my hope is when my grandchildren are walking down this canyon 20 years from now, they won’t know anything really got touched. “That would be the perfect solution. We can go in and do the work, and do it in such a way that nobody, unless they’re us and they’re here when it happened, will ever know that it really got touched.” email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

at least $10 million in a new launchpad at Vandenberg. Industry leaders discussed the benefits of the Central Coast as a launch site, from the beautiful community to strong collegiate partners. The one downside is the salty air. “We discovered, which is no surprise, that we have a lot of opportunities to shore up areas where we’re not as competitive as other spaceports,” REACH’s CEO Andrew Hackleman said during the webinar. “The good news is that the state and the Central Coast, and, of course, Vandenberg Space Force base, are of one of only a small number of places in the United States where rockets can be launched ideally positioned to compete extremely effectively,” he said. U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, promised to advocate for Vandenberg Space Force Base in upcoming budgets as well as in basing decisions. He is inquiring why the base was not selected as the center of the Space Command, questioning whether that decision was politically motivated. Rep.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: MARILYN BENSON Case Number: 21PR00220 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Marilynn Benson A Petition for Probate has been filed by Kellie Lynn Stoelting in the SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA. The Petition for Probate requests that Kellie Lynn Stoelting be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The Petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: 06/24/2021 at Time: 9:00 AM, in Dept.: 5, located at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101; PO Box 21107, Santa Barbara, CA 93121-1107, Anacapa Division. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.
