500 block seeks more police presence
Owners discuss impacts of homelessness on State Street businesses
the homeless population. In the 500 block of State Street, restaurants and bars are back with full capacity indoors and out, just like before the pandemic. And the new parklets lining both sides of the street allow for additional capacity the businesses didn’t have before, resulting in more foot traffic of more people who are seemingly anxious to return to socializing in public places — after 15 months without that ability. Meanwhile, a few businesses in the block reported seeing an increase in homeless individuals
By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
A few business owners on lower State Street are sounding the alarm for more police presence in the area, citing disturbances from
asking restaurant customers for money or food. Kelly Brown, owner of the Natural Cafe in the 500 block, told the News-Press that at his restaurant, the problem has gotten worse than panhandling. Last Friday, he said, one of his cooks required medical treatment after a homeless individual came in through the back door and attempted to steal beer out of the restaurant’s coolers. Mr. Brown said that when the cook tried to halt the individual, the cook was struck in the face and the suspect fled.
For Mr. Brown, “it has reached a tipping point.” “Nobody I know over 40 (years old) with kids and family or beyond goes downtown,” he said. “It’s dirty, it’s lawless, it’s a bad scene.” The restaurant owner said he’s dealt with numerous incidents of the sort over the years — homeless individuals locking themselves in the bathroom to do drugs or take a towel shower, loitering on the patio to finish uneaten food, panhandling and attempting to steal items from the properties. Mr. Brown said since the reopening has begun post-
pandemic, he believes the issue has only been exacerbated. He said he wanted to make an important distinction that “it’s not against the law to be homeless, but it’s against the law to be lawless.” “Our problems are with the lawless homeless: the alcoholic, (the) drug addict, mentally ill (individuals) … I’m talking about the criminally homeless,” he said. Safety issues worry the owner, as he said he makes sure all of his managers leave at the end of the day together. He’s nervous for his college-aged employees walking through the parking lot at 10 p.m.
Fighting summer hunger
And Mr. Brown worries about his daughter, who manages the State Street location. He said she was backed into a corner by a homeless individual sitting on their patio in the morning. “There’s a lawlessness downtown that has to be changed,” he said. “The city’s highest priority is to make the city safe, and it’s not safe downtown. It’s not safe for visitors, it’s not safe for employees, it’s not safe for employers. It’s not safe and that’s unacceptable.” Interim Police Chief Bernard Please see SAFETY on A4

Kids and parents grabbed meals in the Franklin Elementary School parking lot Thursday as Radio Bronco DJ Lupita Rodriguez hosted giveaways and played the station’s live broadcast. Kids stepped up to a wheel, spinning it for a chance at Radio Bronco merchandise and coupons to McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams. The event was one of three summer meal concerts Thursday, and additional distributions will be held throughout the summer. The series is an annual tradition for school districts and other local organizations. National nonprofit No Kid Hungry supports the program. Montecito movie star Jeff Bridges is a spokesperson for No Kid Hungry and an advocate for pairing free meals with fun tunes. The music is a reminder to the kids that they matter, Laura Capps, Santa Barbara Unified school board member and an organizer for the program, told the News-Press. Please see HUNGER on A4

directors passed guidance requiring all workers — regardless of vaccination status — to wear masks in the workplace if just one employee was not vaccinated. This prompted backlash from a number of residents, who called on the board to align with the state’s new guidance for masking and social distancing during the public comment period of Thursday’s meeting. Still, despite this scrutiny, a number of other residents remained concerned that it may be soon to relinquish masking guidelines. A few public commenters raised concerns about circulating variants during Thursday’s meeting, asking the board to consider maintaining the mask mandate. Though residents appear divided over the way forward in the workplace, the new guidelines do provide employers the right to adopt or maintain restrictions that are stricter than those outlined in Cal/OSHA’s new order. Some employers may choose to retain the same restrictions and protocols that were previously implemented. Meanwhile, some local officials are hopeful that the updated guidance will entice vaccinated employees to return to the workforce now that masks are optional. Kristen Miller, the president and CEO of the South Coast Chamber of Commerce, said she is hopeful employers will embrace the ability to work in a more normal environment, which could in turn, increase the desire to return to work. “Cal/OSHA guidance now aligns with general California guidelines, allowing for less confusion and more effectiveness around any mask mandates that remain in place,” Ms. Miller told the News-Press in an email. “Employees appreciate clear communication, transparency in expectations and thoughtful guidance from employers.

face will be that they now have to manage added layers of compliance, including confirming vaccination status and supplying specific masks.” “Our hope is that employees are eager to work in a more normal environment, which supports their desire to get back to work.” Under the new guidelines, employers will be expected to take a leading role in enforcing masking for those who are not vaccinated. While this could incentivize more employees to get their shot, Trevor Large, a managing partner at Fauver, Large, Archbald & Spray, said the new guidelines could put employers in the difficult position of constantly monitoring unvaccinated employees to make sure they are within guidelines. “To a certain extent, (the new guidelines) force employers to become even more of a sort of mask police than they already were,” Mr. Large told the News-Press. “It’s easier for an employer if you have to tell everyone to wear masks because those are the rules and everyone has to follow it. But when 10 employers are wearing a mask and 20 are not, then you constantly have to be thinking, ‘OK, should that person be wearing a mask?’ ‘Have they told me whether they are vaccinated or not?’ “I think it creates headaches for employers and has some potential to impact the working environment amongst employees whether it creates two classes of people in the workplace.” Ultimately, Mr. Large said he sees this as a way for the state to further incentivize the vaccine for unvaccinated folks. “I think the idea behind this is to encourage everyone to get vaccinated because you can go back to work and not wear a mask and your life gets a little more normal than it was,” he told the News-Press. “I think that the clear message being sent by these guidelines is to get vaccinated.” email: mhirneisen@newspress. com

SANTA BARBARA — The Santa Barbara Police Department arrested a man after he allegedly brandished a fixed blade weapon and threatened an employee at the El Presidio State Park. Police later determined the weapon was a large pair of scissors. The victim reported the incident with a detailed description of the suspect after the suspect fled the area. A police sergeant saw a man walking in the 1000 block of Santa Barbara Street and attempted to detain the suspect. The suspect allegedly advanced toward the sergeant with the blade in hand. The sergeant used a police bicycle as a barrier. Additional officers responded and helped de-escalate the conflict. The suspect then dropped the weapon and complied with the arrest, according to police. The victim identified the suspect. David Howard Guttentag, a 60-year-old transient, is held in the Santa Barbara County Jail with charges of criminal threats (felony), brandishing a weapon (misdemeanor) and battery (misdemeanor). Bail is set at $50,000.

Juneteenth declared a national holiday By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
Juneteenth is now a federal holiday. President Joe Biden was accompanied by Vice President Kamala Harris Thursday afternoon as he signed into law a bill commemorating Juneteenth — the day marking the end of legal slavery — as a federal holiday. Because June 19 falls on a Saturday this year, most federal employees now have today off. “Juneteenth marks both a long, hard night of slavery subjugation and a promise of a brighter morning to come,” the president said during the signing ceremony at the White House. “This is a day of profound weight and profound power. A day which you’ll remember the moral stain, the terrible toll that slavery took on the country and continues to take. What I’ve long called America’s original sin.” Saturday commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union Major General Gordon Granger announced the end of slavery in Galveston, Tex. This move came in accordance with former President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, which was declared on Jan. 1, 1863. U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, voted to pass the legislation on Wednesday. “Slavery was a scourge on our nation’s history that should not be ignored or swept under the rug,” the congressman said in a statement. “Today, we took a small but important step to reckon with our past and look to the future. I was proud to cast my vote to make Juneteenth a federal holiday, cementing this celebration of freedom for enslaved African Americans as an American tradition. This is long overdue, and I am thankful for the advocacy of all those who have helped make this possible.” The bill commemorating Juneteenth a holiday received a unanimous vote in the Senate and was passed overwhelmingly in

“Slavery was a scourge on our nation’s history that should not be ignored or swept under the rug. Today, we took a small but important step to reckon with our past and look to the future,” U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, said in a statement.
the House of Representatives on Wednesday. “This weekend, I hope every member of our community will join me in celebrating Juneteenth as a national holiday for the first time,” Rep. Carbajal said. “As we celebrate black lives and liberation, we must continue working to address systemic racism in order to make our nation more equal, fair and free.” The Santa Barbara representative recently awarded the 2021 Congressional Women of the Year Award to two racial justice advocates on the Central Coast. Santa Barbara poet Sojourner Kincaid Rolle received the award for her work to raise awareness of diverse cultural history, along with her heavy involvement with Juneteenth Santa Barbara and Healing Justice Santa Barbara. Courtney
Haile from San Luis Obispo won the award as well for her work as co-founder of a grassroots organization amplifying racial justice and centering black voices through art and culture. The congressman will attend a Juneteenth celebration in Lompoc this weekend. “Throughout history, Juneteenth has been known by many names, and today, a national holiday,” Vice President Harris said at the signing ceremony. “And looking out across this room, I see the advocates, the activists, the leaders who have been calling for this day for so long, including the one and only, Ms. Opal Lee.” The vice president was, of course, referring to the 94-yearold activist who led the charge for Juneteenth to become a federal holiday. Ms. Lee received a standing ovation and personal thanks from President Biden at the ceremony. The president also referred to her as the “grandmother” of the movement to make Juneteenth a federal holiday. Juneteenth is the first federal holiday established since 1983, when Martin Luther King Jr. Day was declared. This is the 11th federal holiday recognized by the U.S. government. All nonessential government employees are off work on federal holidays, along with most government offices, such as post offices. Banks are also closed on federal holidays. States and private companies are not required to observe federal holidays, but some may choose to do so. “Great nations don’t ignore their most painful moments,” the commander-in-chief said during his remarks. “They don’t ignore those moments in the past. They embrace them. Great nations don’t walk away. We come to terms with the mistakes we made. And remembering those moments, we begin to heal and grow stronger.”

At left, Kelly Brown, the owner of the Natural Cafe in the 500 block of State Street, told the News-Press there needs to be an additional police presence in the area due to the homeless populations committing crimes. At right, Clay Holdren, owner of Holdren’s Steaks and Seafood, told the News-Press that while he believes the issue of homelessness in the 500 block has improved since the promenade and outdoor parklets, a police presence would still make customers feel safer.
SAFETY
Continued from Page A1 Melekian told the News-Press that the Natural Cafe incident took place at 9:30 p.m. Friday. Chief Melekian added that he has received calls from people concerned that the police took more than an hour to respond to the incident. But the hard copy of a complaint obtained by the News-Press documented that the first call received was at 10:15 p.m. that night, and the caller declined assistance. Another call was made at 10:37 p.m. requesting assistance, and officers were on the scene by 10:45 p.m. While some reported the incident to be a stabbing, Chief Bernard Melekian told the NewsPress the homeless individual “punched” the cook, and “he had a small pocket knife in his hand, but it’s not what he used.” The chief said he will be making deployment changes and implementing foot patrol on State Street “at least through the end of the summer” with varying hours, but generally from 10 a.m. until 3 a.m. the following morning. This additional presence, he said, began patrolling during the day a couple weeks ago, but the department wants to add the nighttime presence no later than July 3 — “probably earlier, certainly no later than.” “I certainly concur that (there is an) issue of State Street nightlife in general — not just the issues of the homeless folks that are down there
— but the whole nightlife issue, particularly, as we reopen our society and State Street remains closed,” Chief Melekian said. “... It does appear, just listening to the radio and looking at the call board every day, we are getting a lot of requests for service down there.” The felt presence will include the department’s motorcycle officers and officers walking up and down the street, along with rapid response to any disturbances or fights, the chief explained. “One of the realities is if we can get a sort of orderly social reopening going on is that a lot of those (homeless) folks will simply move on because of the crowds,” the chief said. “We want the State Street reopening to occur, and we think it’ll be good for the city and good for everybody that’s down there — we just want to keep it that way and to that end, we’re going to have a pretty fixed presence throughout the rest of the summer.” Clay Holdren, who owns Holdren’s Steak and Seafood in the 500 block, told the News-Press that he believes the homeless incidents were “way worse before the promenade got there,” citing increased activity and large crowds that make people feel safer. However, he believes that because of the lines of parklets, the homeless individuals just moved up to the 700, 800 and 900 blocks instead. “I wish there was a police presence, and I will continue to say it,” Mr. Holdren said. “I’ve been saying it for seven, eight years now ... The police make people feel
safe and make people make better decisions, and we’ve been asking and asking and asking. And we’ll see them every once in a while and then they’ll disappear for a few months, and (then) we’ll see them again.” Elsewhere in the 500 block, Laura Knight, the owner of Pascucci Restaurant, said she’s seen a “huge uptick in just the last few weeks” of homeless individuals around the area. She reported the individuals going up to customers’ tables at Pascucci asking for money and food. “It’s just a tough thing,” she told the News-Press. “We’re all compassionate to the homeless, and they do need shelter and do need money. But we’ve got to get it to them without affecting the tourists … It’s just uncomfortable when people dine outside, and they want to enjoy their meal. They don’t want to be asked for food or money.” Ms. Knight said she would like to see an increased police presence, along with finding a safe place for the individuals to sleep. The balance, she said, requires a good combination of compassion while maintaining the safety of the customers and employees. Mayor Cathy Murillo told the News-Press that she, too, supports increased patrols downtown now that the car-free State Street has increased outdoor dining opportunities and foot traffic. In addition, she said the Volunteers in Policing program (the gray shirts) has restarted, and the redshirted ambassadors serve as more eyes and ears.
The city is working with the county to have a behavioral wellness specialist accompany officers or outreach workers when making calls, the mayor said, to address the challenging mental health issues some individuals are experiencing. However, she added, “more needs to be done in the area,” citing the community’s need for more mental health services and beds with supportive services. “We also expect some of our homeless to migrate away from State Street as it becomes programmed with family activities and concerts and eventually more housing with residents occupying downtown as their residential neighborhood,” Mayor Murillo said. “These individuals prefer quiet, less populated streets or areas.” She added that the city’s economic development manager, Jason Harris, has been working with the police department on ways to connect with, educate and help business owners deal with these challenges. Overall, the common theme was the desire for the safety of restaurant-goers, employees and compassion for the individuals struggling to find food or shelter. “There’s a host of issues and it’s not simple,” Mr. Brown said. “But the simple, straightforward, outof-the-gate fix is: Police downtown … “Police it, make it safe, clean it up. It’s just all it takes.” email: gmccormick@newspress. com

HUNGER
Continued from Page A1 There are 50 locations that provide free meals to youth 18 and under, and the concert series is a fun extension of the regular food distribution. Franklin, one of the busiest sites, provides 400-500 breakfasts and lunches daily. Matt Dittman, Santa Barbara Unified School District’s food services director, said that even though school is out for the summer, the children still need meals. Nearly half of Santa Barbara’s children (population under the age of 18) live below the poverty line, according to California Department of Public Health data. The summer concert series is also intended to bring awareness to child poverty, Ms. Capps said,
though families of all income levels were welcome to pick up a meal. The meal concerts are drive-up style this year, out of health and safety precautions. Last year, the organizations were not allowed to host music. Adrian, 9, and his sister Dianna Barron, 7, were some of the first kids to participate Thursday. Dianna pranced up to spin the prize wheel, first landing on an empty space. “Otra vez,” cheered DJ Rodriguez, allowing kids to spin the wheel again. The atmosphere was exciting as the dial ticked and the wheel spun round and round, eventually landing Dianna with a free scoop of ice cream. The energy could likely be attributed to Ms. Rodriguez. She’s participated in these events before and loves seeing the little
ones’ smiles. Adrian and Dianna posed for a picture with DJ Rodriguez. She’s a fixture of the community, having spent decades on Santa Barbara’s Spanish-speaking airwaves. Adrian and Dianna recognized her voice from hearing their mom listen to Radio Bronco. Dianna told the News-Press that she had fun spinning the wheel and that she also enjoys the food. “I like every single food they give,” she said. The meals were fresh from Santa Barbara Unified’s kitchens. The district only cooks from scratch, even making its own fresh rolls. Chicken fettuccine alfredo was on the menu Thursday with sides of broccoli, apples, carrots, milk and those homemade rolls. To find the nearest hot lunch distributions, families can text “SUMMERFOOD” to 877-877.
Public figures such as U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, and Santa Barbara County Supervisor Joan Hartmann will join the meal concerts on select days. Music joins the meal distribution at the following times this summer: • Wednesday, 10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.: Hapgood Elementary School, 324 S A St., Lompoc. • Wednesday, 11 a.m. - 1 p.m.; Goleta Union School District Office, 401 N Fairview Ave., Goleta. Supervisor Hartmann will attend. • June 30, 10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.: Hapgood Elementary School, 324 S A Street, Lompoc. • July 14, Noon - 1 p.m.: Canalino Elementary School, 1480 Linden Ave., Carpinteria; Rep.

Symphony presents virtual versions of education programs By DAVE MASON

FLASHBACK FRIDAY
San Marcos Pass
NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR
The Santa Barbara Symphony is continuing to emphasize music education with virtual versions of its Music Van program and Concerts for Young People. The symphony is sharing both free programs with Santa Barbara County schools and the general public. “The Santa Barbara Symphony offers the only music education programs in the region tied to both a college and professional symphony orchestra,” said Nir Kabaretti, the orchestra’s music and artistic director. “Our education team remained committed, despite the challenges this past year, to continue to bring music education to local school children. “We are grateful to our donors who are helping us provide even more ways for students to thrive through music, which in turn creates a pipeline to lifelong musical opportunities,” Maestro Kabaretti said in a news release. In typical seasons, the Music Van has allowed elementary students to get up-close and personal with instruments provided by Nick Rail Music. Because of COVID-19, the program was modified into a virtual one. Docents and volunteers recorded a video spotlighting the Music Van at the Lobero Theatre, and it’s available for free viewing at the symphony.org. Sixteen Music Van volunteer docents, 15 Santa Barbara Youth Symphony musicians and alumni, and Marisa McLeod, conductor of the Camerata and Philharmonia orchestras,

recorded the program, which includes demonstrations on 16 instruments provided by Nick Rail Music. The video program is sponsored by Mary Jane Cooper and Marilynn Sullivan, longtime Music Van supporters and docents. “I am so proud of our Music Education community and supporters,” said Kristine Pacheco-Bernt, director of Music Education for the Symphony. “The Music Van video project is a testament to our fierce belief in how important music education is for everyone. It was an honor to work with so many talented and passionate people to make this video a reality.” Another program, Concerts for Young People, is an annual concert featuring Maestro Nir
Kabaretti and the Santa Barbara Symphony. Typically it is a live concert field trip to The Granada for 5,500 students throughout Santa Barbara County. This year, a video presentation will be produced, which will be available to all fourththrough sixth-grade classrooms throughout the county at thesymphony.org. The virtual concert, which includes a variety of camerawork, features worldrenowned violin soloist, Gilles Apap, who performed this season with the symphony. The community can support these programs through taxdeductible donations. To donate, visit thesymphony.org/support/ make-a-donation. email: dmason@newspress.com

‘Two Years Before the Mast’ Classic book topic for Maritime Museum Zoom webinar By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
“Hawaiians, Catholics and the Town with a Bay in Front and an Amphitheater of Hills Behind: The Education of Richard Henry Dana Jr. in Santa Barbara,” a Zoom webinar featuring Dr. Rick Kennedy, will be hosted by the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum at 7 p.m. July 15. Dr. Kennedy is a history professor at Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego, “More than any other port mentioned in Richard Henry Dana’s ‘Two Years Before the Mast,’ Santa Barbara opened the author to a wider world than he had ever imagined and to more diverse populations than he knew in Boston,” said Dr. Kennedy. “This lecture will give listeners a glimpse into a past of sailing, hidegathering, what Santa Barbara was like in 1835 and 1836, who lived here then, who Dana crewed and worked with and how his voyage and visit to Santa Barbara changed him.” According to Dr. Kennedy, “The classic book is his coming-of-age story. Having contracted measles during his junior year at Harvard, which affected his eyesight, the then 18-year-old Dana signed aboard a hide-and-tallow ship, the brig Pilgrim, bound for California, as a common seaman for a twoyear term and sailed into Santa Barbara in 1835 when it was the central port of the coast.”

Between 2003 and 2017, Dr. Kennedy taught a summer school sailing course in California history during which he and students sailed up the coast and through the islands reading “Two Years Before the Mast.” Every summer, Kennedy would also lead walking tours of Santa Barbara. The author of books and articles involving both California and New England, Dr. Kennedy recently published “Richard Henry Dana Jr., Evangelical Consciousness and the Colony of Hawaiians in San Diego” in “California Dreaming: Society and Culture in the Golden State (2017).”

Diversions horoscope • puzzles
By Dave Green
ARIES — Every time you bring up a sensitive, important, or deep subject, does someone squash it? You may feel like you aren’t relating well to other people today, Aries. You may want to dive deeper into issues while others prefer to skim the surface. There are many ways to see the same things and deal with the same problems. Find people who see things your way rather than fight those who don’t. TAURUS — This is a wonderful day. You feel emotionally strong, Taurus. You have all of your energy available for use. Don’t miss this opportunity by feigning a headache and staying at home doing nothing. Instead of analyzing everything and criticizing everyone else’s life, look at your own and see what choices you can make right now. Take the best course of action based on the resources you have at your fingertips. GEMINI — Nothing seems to be clicking the way you want, Gemini. Your rational mind tells you that things are fine and you have the green light to proceed with your plans. But there’s a small voice inside you that’s suggesting otherwise. Perhaps you have an inkling that your plan is flawed in some way. Perhaps you’re ignoring a certain pain in your heart by keeping it secret when in reality you need to let it out. CANCER — You’re emotionally much stronger than usual. You will be surprised at the events, thoughts, and conversations you command with your words, Cancer. Most of the time, you follow others. You go with the flow. You’re laidback and happy with just about anything. Today, however, you want to take the lead and show others how things should be done. People would be foolish not to follow you today. LEO — While this may be a day when all you want to do is to relax, you may not feel like you can, Leo. A little voice is telling you to work. Perhaps you’re inspired to clean out your closet, change the landscaping, or wash your windows. Put these tasks aside. Forced manual labor isn’t the way to go today. If you’re going to put that much energy into something, put it into having fun. VIRGO — This may feel like a day made just for you, Virgo. You’re emotionally strong. You feel like you’re able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Tackle all those projects you love but have been too scared to start. You have a great deal of energy and confidence Monday, November 16, 2015 in your favor. You will succeed in
almost anything you try, so don’t waste this moment by just watching TV. LIBRA — Your energy may be a bit scattered, Libra. Although your days are jam-packed with activities, you still go to bed every night feeling like you didn’t get anything done. It’s time to prioritize. Examine all the things you do for others and those you do for yourself. You may be surprised at the imbalance you’ve created in your world. Use this day to do things for yourself instead of others. SCORPIO — Your emotions and actions are well aligned, Scorpio, meaning that you’re likely to do things that are more in tune with your true beliefs. This wonderful alignment of energies will keep you busy and out of trouble. As long as you’re true to yourself, no one can argue with what you do or who you are. There is no reason for you to make excuses about anything. SAGITTARIUS — You may feel emotionally stuck, Sagittarius. Perhaps you feel your sensitive, loving nature isn’t fully appreciated. Today is energetic and lively, but you’d rather sit home and relax. Your best strategy is to do just that. Why is it so hard for some people to see that doing nothing is really doing something - relaxing? Don’t let anyone talk you into something you don’t want to do. CAPRICORN — It feels like you have more emotional armor on, Capricorn, which will help you deal with a looming battle. Somewhere in your world a conflict is brewing. It may not be obvious, it may not be large, but it’s there. Today you’re more prepared to deal with things out in the open. You have a larger arsenal of weapons, and your witty, aggressive banter is at a peak. AQUARIUS — You may feel like your resources are depleted and you want to throw in the towel, Aquarius. Don’t give up yet. Today may not be the best day of your life, but that doesn’t mean you should write everyone off and become a hermit. You may be moodier than usual, but you will snap out of it. You may need to be a bit more adaptable in order to roll with the punches today. PISCES — Your energy is running high, Pisces, and you have a great deal of fire that you can use to transform anything. You have a wonderful capacity to turn a bad situation into a good one. You know exactly how to lift others’ spirits when they’re down. Today certain issues may be a bit too emotional for you to handle comfortably. There’s an aggressive, combative tone to some people. Keep your guard up.

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.

The project also includes an on-site electrical substation with a transformer, and the construction of an underground connection (tie line) to the existing SCE Isla Vista substation located west of and adjacent to Storke Road, approximately 300 feet west of the project site. The underground tie line would be constructed using directional drilling beneath the Storke Road rightof-way. 2. Proposed Tentative Parcel Map to divide the existing 5.88-acre project site parcel into two lots. Proposed Lot 1 would be addressed as 6864 Cortona Drive, be 2.66 gross acres in size, and be used for the Goleta Energy Storage Project. Proposed Lot 2 would be addressed as 6868 Cortona Drive and be 3.22 gross acres in size, The existing 60,068 square foot research and development building located within the boundaries of proposed Lot 2 would be retained.
