It was back in September 2020 when four local women — Nancy Tubiolo, Samantha Eddy, Dani Lynch and Julia Laraway — met for the first time on a Zoom call with one goal in mind. To save the West Mesa of the San Marcos Foothill Preserve from development. Little did they know at the time that their shared goal would send them on an impassioned mission that would culminate in the collection of $18.6 million in

City of SB reviews $166.2 million budget, projects By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

The Santa Barbara City Council discussed its $166.2 million budget for the next fiscal year during a hearing on Wednesday night, determining what projects would receive city funding in the coming year. This year’s budget is partially built upon increases in sales tax and Measure C tax revenue in the past six months. In addition, the city is slated to receive about $21.8 million in American Rescue Plan Act funding, which will account for a portion of $34.9 million in revenue the city lost during the pandemic. “The city of Santa Barbara has revenue loss in excess of what ARPA is saving us from,” Finance Director Keith DeMartini said Wednesday, noting that there is about $13.2 million in revenue loss the ARPA funding will not cover. While council members will cast their votes on the city’s final budget on June 22, officials on Wednesday voted on a range of projects to receive funding during the next fiscal year. Within next year’s proposed budget, city council members unanimously voted to allocate $70,000 to fill a vacant bilingual administration support spot in the City Administrator’s Office. Unanimous support was also voiced to allocate $11,000 for the implementation of a budget transparency tool in the City Finance Department, which would give council members insight on how external budget

requests are acquired from the community. During Wednesday’s meeting, officials discussed multiple requests from City Fire, ultimately approving two of the three proposed budget items. The council voted 6-1 to allocate $236,000 to the implementation of a Community Wildfire protection plan, and members unanimously voted to allocate an additional $10,000 to develop a “Ready, Set, Go” program. Council members shot down a request of $134,000 to fill an inspector position for fire prevention. The council decided to allocate $17,500 to support a Child Care Study from the Human Resources Department, which will seek insight on childcare needs across the city. Officials approved both budget requests from the Santa Barbara Public Library, granting $142,000 for a social services worker and $150,000 for an upper level needs assessment of the library and the eventual development of a teen resource center. Unanimous support was also achieved for the funding of two summer programs. The city will allocate $5,000 to the Santa Barbara Police Department for the implementation of a summer program to support youth impacted by the Liberty Street shooting. The council will also allocate $40,065 for a summer nights program championed by the Parks & Recreation Department. A number of outside agencies Please see COUNCIL on A3

California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed an appeal Thursday to protect the state’s ban on assault weapons, arguing that U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez’s decision is “a legal outlier.” The judge granted Mr. Bonta a 30-day stay to give time for an appeal. During the stay, assault weapons remain illegal. Judge Benitez overturned California’s 32-year ban on assault weapons June 4, calling the law unconstitutional and ineffective in preventing mass shootings. He opened his statement by likening an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle to a Swiss army knife, as both serve as a “home defense weapon and homeland defense equipment.” The comparison was criticized by defendants of the ban in a news conference Thursday. Mattie Scott, who lost her son to gun violence in 1996, spoke during the state attorney general’s briefing. She is also the California president of Brady, a gun control

Deputies graduate from AHC academy The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office congratulated and welcomed five new deputies at their graduation from the Allan Hancock College Basic Law Enforcement Academy. The class of 19 recruits completed a comprehensive California Peace Officer Standards and Training, which involves 862 hours of instruction. The training included community policing, report writing, laws of arrest, search and seizure, firearms, ethics, investigation procedures, patrol techniques, arrest and control, physical training, CPR/First Aid and emergency vehicle operations. Just before the graduation ceremony, Undersheriff Sol Linver led a swearingin ceremony, where he welcomed Eric Brimer, David Cardenas, Jesse Evert, Christian Harrington and Ross VanTassel. The graduation included a badge pinning ceremony where mothers, fathers and significant others pin badges on the recruits. Members of Deputy Evert’s family were unable to attend because their flight from Arkansas was overbooked. But a lastminute solution was found: The family joined in via a cell phone video chat. Undersheriff Linver closed the swearing-in ceremony by welcoming the new deputies to the Sheriff’s Office family and quoted Brad Henry, former governor of Oklahoma, “Families are the compass that guides us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter.” For more information on a career in law enforcement, go to sbsheriff.org. — Dave Mason

A group gathered at the West Mesa of the San Marcos Foothills Preserve Thursday to celebrate the completion of a 90-day fundraising effort to save the foothills from development.

Continued from Page A1

Erenostine Ygnacio De Soto, an elder from the Chumash, was present at Thursday’s event, opening the event with a proclamation.

News-Press. “If we look back to last September, no one really knew what we were talking about. And we were doing a lot of advocacy stuff, like going out and reaching out to different people, and they were like, ‘I don’t know anything about that.’ “And now, we’ll be out canvassing, and everyone’s like, ‘Yeah, we’ve heard, and we donated like three weeks ago.’ It’s just gotten so big so quick.” After a few months of raising awareness and drumming up support, the group struck a deal with developers from the Chadmar Group, who agreed to give activists 90 days to raise $18.6 million to acquire the property. With such a short period to complete the effort, the women knew reaching the goal would be a stretch. But they decided they had to try. “If we didn’t do anything, nothing would happen,” Ms. Tubiolo told the News-Press. “So we just had to take the challenge and run with it. Otherwise nothing would happen.” Their months of effort and advocacy came to fruition on Tuesday when the Save San Marcos Foothills drummed up enough support from more than 5,500 financial donors to purchase the land.

To celebrate this accomplishment, a group of supporters, county officials and representatives from the Chadmar Group met at the preserve Thursday to celebrate the acquisition of the land. Event attendees reflected on the completion of an astounding goal that many agreed took a miracle to complete. “There are a lot of smiles on a lot of people’s faces today, because we as a community have accomplished something extraordinary,” Gregg Hart, 2nd District supervisor, said Thursday. “Not two and a half, three months ago, the challenge was put for us all together to do a miracle to preserve this land forever. And there were a lot of people, a lot of smart people, who said that can’t be done. “And we’re here to say, not only could it be done, but it was done. We did it.” Chuck Landy, a developer from the Chadmar Group, also attended Thursday’s celebration, offering words of encouragement to the group that successfully acquired the property. “Most developers are thought to cherish paving over land,” Mr. Landy said. “But this is a great example of the opposite.” He continued, “It’s been said once or twice — this is a very, very special community. And the reality is the community stepped up and the community made this happen. “And I hope this serves as

an example of people working together over decades, being thoughtful, fair and engaged. And yes, this is a little emotional for me too. I too look forward to walking on this land with my grandchildren and great-grandchildren alongside each one of you.” The symbolism of the moment was not lost on Marc Chytilo, the attorney for the campaign, as he stood with supporters during Thursday’s event. “When we needed a miracle, it happened,” Mr. Chytilo said. “And when we needed another miracle it happened again.” He added, “To me, saving big open space parcels is a manifestation of Santa Barbara’s

By DAVE MASON A Santa Maria High School golfer has made history as the first woman in the program to move on to college golf. Vivecca Baray will play golf at the University of La Verne. She also earned a four-year academic scholarship. “Three years ago, when I joined the golf team, I never thought I would fall in love with the sport,’’ the Saints athlete said in a news release. “It helped me discover leadership skills, make new friends and find a new passion. “Coach (Jay) Cheney helped me better my game and continue to play at the University of La Verne,” she continued. “Golf helped me connect with new people and bond with family, friends and others. I hope for it to continue to teach discipline, hard work and focus. I have to believe in myself. I know what I can do, what I can achieve.’’ Coach Cheney described Baray as a “positive role model.” “She was the heart and soul of our team this year,’’ the coach and teacher said. “She was a true leader in a sense that the other girls on the team followed her. It doesn’t matter if it was a Saturday at the driving range, practicing in the rain, or even dressing like a golfer. If Vivecca was involved, the rest of the girls would be as well.” WESTMONT WELLREPRESENTED Westmont College’s swimming

between a 3.2 and 3.49 GPA. So they’re on the Academic AllConference Second Team. And NAIA All-American Morgan Bienias has received an honorable mention for maintaining a GPA between 3.0 and 3.19. This is the first time in program history that the Warriors have had PCSC Academic All-Conference athletes, according to a news release. “It was really inspiring to see these student athletes overcome so many obstacles this past year and finish on such a high note,” said Westmont head coach Jill Jones Lin. “Remote and outdoor education have their challenges, but these athletes didn’t let it get in the way of their academic success. I’m really proud of all of them!” This season came with many firsts for the Warriors, who just completed their second year of competition in program history. Before receiving its first Academic All-Conference honors this week, Westmont has previously celebrated receiving its first NAIA All-Americans in program history. Along with Bienias, fellow Academic AllConference athlete Kassy Gregory received an All-American honor, as did Westmont’s Bridget Hoth. Westmont will begin its third season Oct. 2 when the college hosts Fresno Pacific in a dual meet. email: dmason@newspress.com

t’s a typical day in March 2020, and Restaurant Connection employees are completing their normal rounds of food deliveries to area customers. Business is steady and manageable, and Restaurant Connection has enough staff to fulfill its steady stream of orders. But all of that is about to change. The Santa Barbara business, which coordinates with restaurants and wineries to deliver meals and drinks to customers, was about to be hit by an unexpected influx of business driven by an all-consuming global pandemic. “It was the middle of March and we were going about a normal day where (we were) accustomed to daily operations,” Saul Plasencia, the owner of Restaurant Connection, told the News-Press. “For us, we had our

normal volume (of orders) and had adequate (staff) to meet that volume, and from one day to the next, it was way more than we were used to.” In a matter of days, Restaurant Connection was flooded with orders from locals who remained quarantined in their homes during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. With grocery store shelves left bare when stay-at-home orders began, many locals turned to Restaurant Connection to safely bring them hot meals from local restaurants. The demand created a lot of long days for Mr. Plasencia, who said he worked between 18 and 20 hours some days during the start of the pandemic. Eventually, the business was able to increase its staffing to fulfill the influx of orders. “We were making changes on the fly, on a daily basis in order to meet that demand and really be able to provide the best possible

service that with the man we could,” Mr. who owned Plasencia said. Restaurant When a Connection in For more information on customer places 2015.

“It was the busiest year we had overall so there were a lot of obstacles to overcome, but we got through it and it was an interesting year.” “It was great to be able to be there for the community and offer delivery for those in need — not just for the residents, but for the restaurants as well.” Despite businesses similar to Restaurant Connection, such as Uber Eats or Doordash, gaining popularity nationwide, Mr. Plasencia said the thing that sets his business apart is the human touch. “We are a local business, we always have live phone operators in the office to answer the phone locally,” Mr. Plasencia said. “We’re very hands on with every order. No order goes unnoticed at all every day.” He continued, “That’s kind of where we separate ourselves from (the competition) is the level of service we provide. It’s important to us to not just make sure the

customer is happy, but that the restaurant is happy too because we’re a representation of them.” With COVID-19 cases on the decline and restrictions loosening across the county, Mr. Plasencia said business remains steady but is starting to slow now that people are able to return to dining in person. After a long stretch without in-person dining available, Mr. Plasencia said the downtrend in customer orders was expected. He’s happy to see restaurants up and running again. “It makes me happy for the fact that restaurants are able to have customers come in and dine with them again because they are very important and crucial to the whole community here,” Mr. Plasencia said. “Restaurants are so important here in Santa Barbara, so being able to welcome back customers is a very positive thing overall.” email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

Residents are being encouraged to plan for poor air quality caused by wildfire smoke. The Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District and Santa Barbara County Public Health Department offer tips to decrease particulate matter from smoke and ash. The tiny particles can harm the lungs and heart and cause coughing, wheezing, difficulty breathing, chest pain, nausea, and in severe instances, premature mortality. People with heart or lung disease, seniors, children and pregnant women are especially sensitive to smoke. The air pollution control district and health department say the best protection against wildfire smoke is to stay indoors. To further protect your family, the district and department suggest these steps: • Pick a HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) purifier to reduce particulate matter indoors by 90%. These can be purchased at hardware stores or online retailers. • Make sure that the HEPA

doesn’t create ozone. Find a list of safe options at www.arb.ca.gov/ research/indoor/aircleaners/ certified.htm. • HEPA purifiers come in various makes and models for different room sizes. Use the purifier in a room where you spend a lot of time like a bedroom. HEPA purifiers for an average-sized bedroom cost approximately $75. • Check your windows and doors, and make sure the room is sealed tightly so smoke from the outdoors does not get pulled inside. • Replace the filter as directed in the owner’s manual. Filters need to be replaced more frequently if used during a wildfire. A do-it-yourself version of an air purifier can be a more affordable option, with materials costing around $40. Such a version has been found to reduce harmful particles indoors in a way similar to that of a HEPA purifier. Here’s how to make your own purifier. • Use tape to attach a 20-by20 MERV-rated air filter — like what you would use for your HVAC system — to the back of a 20-by-20 box fan. Attaching to the back of the fan creates a better seal.

• Use a filter with a MERV rating of 13. • Check the filter for the direction of the air flow marked on the side of the filter. • Check your windows and doors, and make sure the room is sealed. • Replace the filter more frequently if used during a wildfire. • As needed, disassemble the box fan to wipe away any accumulated dirt. For safety, follow these precautions with your filters: • Use a box fan that is from 2012 or newer because of added safety features. • Don’t leave the device unattended. • Turn off the device while sleeping. • When the fan is modified in this way, use the device as an air cleaner, not as a fan to cool your home. The air pollution control district and health department also give these tips about minimizing particles indoors. • If advised to stay inside, keep windows and doors shut and sealed tightly. • If temperatures are high and

there is no way to keep the home cool with windows and doors shut, consider temporarily moving somewhere with better air quality. • Upgrade your filter in your HVAC system to a MERV filter with a rating of at least 13. Check with your HVAC professional to see what MERV rating your HVAC system can handle to ensure proper functionality. • Do not smoke or burn firewood, candles or incense in the house. • Use your range hood while cooking, especially when using a gas stove. • Consider using professional services for a blower door test to detect air leaks. This service can help you know how to properly seal your home. During wildfires, there are various ways to stay updated on local air quality conditions: • Sign up to receive air quality alerts from APCD and Public Health at www.ourair.org/ subscribe. • Check hourly air quality conditions and daily air forecasts at www.ourair.org/todays-airquality. email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

Diversions horoscope • puzzles

“Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us.” — Samuel Smiles

ARIES — The day ahead will suit you, but you mustn’t expect miracles. Now is a time of healing. In the weeks ahead you will restore harmony to your energies and regain your fitness with improved diet and lifestyle. Your emotional life gets an overhaul as well, as you find the courage to confront certain unsettling issues. TAURUS — Yes, Taurus, you haven’t finished all the cleaning up that remains in many areas. You’re going to have to get your papers in order, pay off old debts, face physical or moral obligations, and fix technical problems. That’s a lot of work! Fortunately, once it’s done, your emotional baggage will be considerably lighter, enabling you to go farther and faster. GEMINI — The astral energy says there’s a time for everything. We tend to repeat certain tasks we like doing, while those we dislike we try to get out of the way as quickly as possible. It seems reasonable, but the universe reminds you that you should make as much space in your life for what you don’t like as for what you do, because each task is related to the other in some way. CANCER — Reality isn’t always as exciting as you’d like it to be, Cancer. But isn’t this because you interpret reality in a particular way? You rarely look at things in detail, because fundamentally, details don’t interest you. But if you look around, you will discover that the details of a truly epic event are currently unfolding before your eyes. Put some new lenses in your glasses! LEO — The planetary energies are encouraging you to make some adjustments regarding your social ambitions. You may desire to change professions or your circle of friends. This is trickier than you might think, as the culture of your current world is an extension of you. You’re drawn to what’s familiar. Your natural tendency will be to go back to where you came from. VIRGO — This planetary energy is going to test your recurring desire to go to the other side of the world or have a ready exit in any relationship. You do this so you won’t feel trapped and, above all, so you won’t be dependent. This is one of your strengths, Virgo, but it’s also one of your weaknesses. Throughout the next few weeks you will be pushed to involve yourselfNovember more intimately with Monday, 16, 2015 others. LIBRA — Why do you find

relationships difficult, Libra? You know interactions with others help you learn and grow. This is the case for everyone. But for you, especially, relationships are important because they help keep you grounded. Too often you dream about reality rather than confront it. Today’s aspects are going to insist that you make a greater effort with the people closest to you. SCORPIO — The end of one cycle signals the beginning of a new one. Today, you will embark on a new period of understanding that harmonizes your energies. You may have taken more risks than usual lately as you exposed emotions you normally keep hidden. Did you overdo it or could you have gone even further out on that limb? You have a period of clarity ahead to think about it. SAGITTARIUS — Have you noticed a certain strain on your emotions, Sagittarius? You’re resilient, but even you have found all the recent intensity a bit too much. You can relax now. The next few weeks promise to be calmer. Sunnier skies will gradually return. Your efforts will concentrate on your love life. You know you need security and stability. If you work steadily, you will attain those goals! CAPRICORN — The past few weeks may have seemed Earth shattering, Capricorn. You may still be trembling slightly as you head into the coming weeks. Fortunately, the current astral configuration promises to be calmer, although not necessarily less intense. You will be able to apply recent decisions regarding your domestic life and finally settle some important matters. AQUARIUS — You may be sensitive, Aquarius, but you’re also persistent. The waves you’ve surfed in the past few weeks have only strengthened your resolve. However, you will have to be satisfied with this past period of thrills. The weeks ahead will be much quieter. Use the time to regain some control over your life and work hard to simplify your attitudes. PISCES — Perhaps the last few weeks impressed you as one of the most intense periods yet in this year. You will certainly admit that anything related to affairs of the heart was endowed with profound and lasting meaning. It’s now time for a physical and psychological rest in order to let you fully integrate your experiences. The weeks ahead offer a calm and quiet oasis.

Thought for Today

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.

In 2016, she retired from teaching and now works primarily outdoors on landscape painting, often with her friends.

Notice of Availability for the Joint Flight Campaign (JFC) Draft Programmatic Environmental Assessment/Overseas Environmental Assessment (PEA/OEA). The Proposed Action, Joint Flight Campaign (JFC), is sponsored by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering and by the United States Department of the Army (U.S. Army). These agencies have designated the United States Department of the Navy (U.S. Navy) Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) and the U.S. Army Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO) as the lead agencies for the Proposed Action. The U.S. Army RCCTO, the U.S. Navy SSP, and the United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC), as Participating Agencies, along with the Department of Energy, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the U.S. Air Force 30th Space Wing, and the U.S. Air Force 45th Space Wing as Cooperating Agencies, have prepared this PEA/OEA in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA; 42 United States Code 4321, as amended), the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) Regulations for Implementing the Procedural Provisions of NEPA (Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] Parts 1500-1508, 1978, July 1, 1986), the Department of the Army Procedures for Implementing NEPA (32 CFR Part 651), the Department of the Air Force Procedures for Implementing NEPA (32 CFR Part 989), Chief of Naval Operations Instruction 5090.1E, and Executive Order 12114, Environmental Effects Abroad of Major Federal Actions. The Proposed Action entails up to six flight test launches at up to four different launch locations per year, over the next 10 years. Test objectives are expected to dictate range selection from Atlantic and Pacific test ranges. Due consideration will be given to existing launch ranges to avoid any unnecessary changes to the environment. The launch range for each test will be determined based on the test objectives, and the availability and technical suitability of the test range. Test scenarios are planned to include broad ocean area (BOA) impacts of the spent stages and the hypersonic payload, and do not include any land-based impacts. This PEA/OEA is being prepared as a Programmatic EA to provide an analysis of multiple launch locations that will be available to the test directorates over the next 10 years. The launch selection process will utilize this PEA/OEA and will include a check of the relevancy of this document to support specific launch scenarios. It is anticipated that this PEA/OEA will support most future decisions; however, tiered NEPA documents could occur if there are significant changes to the proposed missile or facilities at a proposed launch location. The U.S. Army RCCTO and U.S. Navy SSP determined that four launch locations meet the screening criteria/evaluation factors and the test requirements for vehicle performance and data collection. They also considered the No Action Alternative, as required by the CEQ regulations. There is one launch location on the west coast and one in Hawaiì, both with impact sites in the Pacific Ocean, and two launch locations on the east coast, with impact sites in the Atlantic Ocean. The Pacific locations analyzed are the Pacific Missile Range Facility, Barking Sands, Kauai, Hawaiì; Vandenberg Space Force Base, California; and BOA impact sites in the Pacific Ocean. The east coast locations include the NASA Wallops Flight Facility, Virginia; Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida; and Atlantic BOA impact sites. The Draft JFC PEA/OEA and Draft Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) are available at http://jfceaoea.govsupport.us. Public comments on the Draft JFC PEA/OEA and Draft FONSI will be accepted from June 11, 2021 to July 10, 2021 and can be provided in either of the following ways: (1) E-mail comments by July 10, 2021 to jfceaoea@govsupport.us; (2) Mail comments, postmarked no later than July 10, 2021, to: USASMDC, ATTN: SMDC-EN (D.
