The 35th annual Parade of Lights, a signature Santa Barbara procession of decorated watercraft, will set sail Dec. 12. The theme is “Magic Under Moonlight” for the event, which is in-person again for the first time since 2019. All of the holiday event’s activities are free. They’ll begin at noon when families can visit Winter Wonderland on the city pier in Santa Barbara Harbor.

That’s where families can play in 10 tons of snow and encounter holiday music and elves. It is rumored that Santa Claus himself might show up. Taking a turn from previous years, the Human Powered category competition will take place in the daylight at 4 p.m. Dozens of standup paddlers and kayakers dressed in festive attire will loop Stearns Wharf spreading holiday cheer. The Holiday Tree lighting ceremony will take place at 5 Please see PARADE on A4

Unvaccinated SB Unified staff offered accommodations By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

At left, U.S. Army Ltc. Travis Buehner speaks about being a “soldier for life” while Lt. John Blankenship, founding director of the local Pierre Claeyssens Veterans Foundation, smiles in the background. At right, Ltc.

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Ltc. Pablo Paredes returned home after serving with the U.S. Army in Vietnam to a hostile environment. “The community just didn’t want us around,” he told the NewsPress. The Vietnam War shocked civilians who watched nightly broadcasts, and soldiers didn’t return from the conflict with a clear victory. But Ltc. Paredes sees a “big difference” in the past 10-15 years — a shift that perhaps is most visible during events like the Veterans Day program hosted by the Pierre Claeyssens Veterans Foundation and Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1649. During Thursday’s ceremony,

Lt. John Blankenship, founding director of the Pierre Claeyssens Veterans Foundation, bellowed the name of recent wars and asked veterans to stand. “Vietnam War!” Men and women rose from their seats, proud as the crowd clapped and attendees turned to look at all the Vietnam veterans. Ltc. Travis Buehner, who is actively serving in the Army, lives by a Vietnam veteran. Three years ago, on Veterans Day, the neighbor flew his flag upside down — a sign of distress. Ltc. Buehner saw the flag and knocked on his neighbor’s door. The neighbor carried grief from returning from Vietnam, and the two talked for a while. Thursday, the neighbor was flying his flag conventionally. “It’s so important to make sure we reiterate how thankful we are

for what they did. And they may not have felt so at the time, but being proud of their service and answering the call to serve their country,” Ltc. Buehner said. Lt. Blankenship works to ensure veterans are honored in the community, whether it be by hosting a gala or presenting a veteran’s loved ones with a flag. “We just want people to feel proud to have served,” he said. A Census Bureau report titled “Those Who Served” reveals a declining veteran population. Around 7% of U.S. adults were veterans, according to the report’s 2018 survey. In 1980, 18% of adults had served. “While we often thank our vets for their service, there are a lot of veterans that still need our support,” Ltc. Buehner said in the keynote address. “And I think we

need to do better, with not just words, but actions.” Ltc. Paredes serves as the quartermaster of VFW Post 1649 and has previously held the role of commander. He connects veterans with services they need, but he says many join the post for friendship. “They want comradery, a sense of belonging. They’re looking to help other veterans. In the VFW, that’s exactly what we do,” he said. “We help veterans in need, whether they’re students or community veterans.” He said he is aware of a few homeless veterans in Santa Barbara, but the problem is worse in Los Angeles, where he helped find shelter for 800 homeless veterans.

Unvaccinated Santa Barbara Unified School District staff with approved medical and religious exemptions may continue working past Dec. 17 provided they submit to twice weekly COVID-19 testing, wear an N-95 mask and practice social distancing when possible. The district informed its employees of the change Tuesday evening. A total of 70 staff members applied for religious exemptions, and seven applied for medical exemptions. Last week, some of these staff members protested the district’s vaccine mandate in a rally at Santa Barbara City Hall. They had received notice they were going to be placed on unpaid leave Dec. 17, contrary to prior districtwide emails. Staff who did not provide

proof of vaccination or request accommodation, of which there were eight, were placed on unpaid leave Nov. 1. “We have substitutes who are filling in for those positions, but we are still working on a longer term solution,” a district spokesperson said in an email sent to members of the press. The district attributes the change to multiple factors, including the Nov. 5 release of the U.S. Department of Labor and Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s emergency temporary standard. The standard calls for employers with staff of at least 100 to require vaccination or weekly testing and masking. “A recent emergency approval of the COVID 19 vaccine for ages 5-11 means our elementary students now have the choice to become Please see MANDATE on B4

TRAFFIC, CRIME & FIRE BLOTTER 7 juveniles arrested SANTA BARBARA — Seven juveniles have been arrested on suspicion of involvement with a series of assaults that occurred on the San Marcos High School campus. On Tuesday, the school resource deputy was notified by San Marcos administrators of videos depicting assaults that had occurred on their

campus, said Raquel Zick, the public information officer for the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office. Through his investigation in cooperation with the school, SRD Hampton learned that a juvenile student had been seriously injured in a series of bodily attacks, allegedly carried out by numerous students. Specific information about the assaults and injuries sustained by

the victim are not yet available for release, Ms. Zick said. On Wednesday, sheriff’s deputies and detectives arrested seven male juveniles for felony charges including assault with force likely to cause bodily injury and conspiracy. One juvenile was released to his guardians. The remaining six were transported to the Santa Maria Juvenile Hall, where they will be booked. This investigation remains

ongoing and will be handled by detectives, Ms. Zick said. Anyone with further information about this incident is asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Bureau at 805-681-4150. To leave anonymous information, call the tip line at 805-681-4171 or go to sbsheriff.org/home/anonymoustip. — Katherine Zehnder

veterans in the United States has declined since 2010, with the steepest decline between 2010 and 2016. In 2020, the Annual Homeless Assessment Report to Congress estimated the number of homeless veterans at 37,252 — half of 2010’s count. Black veterans are overrepresented in the homeless veteran population, according to the report. They allot for one third of homeless veterans but just 12% of all U.S. veterans. In 2020, 31% of the homeless veteran population lived in California. U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, who served in the Marine Corps, spoke during the program about Congress’s actions to support veterans. “I am happy to report that the House Committee on Veterans Affairs is doing more than just simply saying thank you, and has passed 27 bills this Congress to support our nation’s veterans, and ensure they have access to the care and benefits they are in. And most of these bills have been bipartisan,” he said. He said this year’s Housepassed appropriations bill garnered bipartisan support for improving medical care for veterans, including transportation to and from medical appointments. The bill addresses infamously poor-performing Veterans Affairs phone systems that connect veterans to outpatient care. “I know it’s shocking that these services haven’t worked and haven’t been existent today,” Rep. Carbajal said. Almost a quarter of veterans have a service-connected disability, according to the Census Bureau report. The congressman also reported advancements in the HUD-VASH program, which supports housing for homeless veterans. “There is a reason why the United States has the strongest military in the world. It’s because we not only make investments in our capabilities, but in our people,” Rep. Carbajal said. Ltc. Buehner will retire in December and plans to stay connected to the VFW and the Pierre Claeyssens Veterans Foundation. “This is a big production,” he said, motioning to the Veterans Day ceremony on the lawn of the Santa Barbara Cemetery. “It costs a lot of money, and it takes a lot of effort. But they do it because they realize how important it is for our community.”

SPORTS ROUNDUP

Carpinteria sinks Downing in water polo By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

The Downing Vikings proved to be no match for the Carpinteria Warriors boys water polo team. The team extended its season by beating Downing 13-6 in the CIF semi-final round, played at Santa Barbara High School before a big crowd of Warrior fans. “Warriors junior Justin Main had the hot hand early, scoring three first quarter goals to get his team out to a 4-2 lead,” Coach Jon Otsuki told the News-Press. “Main’s hat trick included a high arcing lob, a rifled shot from 7 meters away and a hard cross cage shot. “The team put constant pressure on the opposition, outscoring the visiting Vikings every quarter 4-2, 2-1, 3-1 and

4-2,” Otsuki said. “The Warriors executed well the entire contest,” the coach continued. “On the offensive side, Downey double teamed the Warriors 2 meter player and top scorer Asher Smith, but the Warriors created opportunities by setting screens, moved the ball well on the perimeter and found openings by driving. “Defensively the Carpinterians were quick to drop back to help each other and anticipated potential shot attempts the entire game,” Otsuki said. “Tactical Coach Stephen Kim had the boys ready for anything, keeping the opposition to six goals is the evidence.” Asher Smith led all scorers with four goals, followed by Main with three and Zach Isaac with two.

Coby Gonzales, Reyn Clayton, Mateo Handall and goalie Jacob Taff scored one point each. The No. 1 seed division 5 Warriors move on to the finals to face the No. 2 seed Burbank Bulldogs this Saturday at the Woollett Aquatic Center in Irvine.

Warriors do damage from beyond the Arc By JACOB NORLING WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

The Westmont men’s basketball team (5-0) rode a hot first half to its fifth straight win Wednesday night, defeating La Sierra (1-2) 96-80. The Warriors sank 12, 3-pointers in the first half, carrying nearly a 30-point lead into halftime, before coasting to victory in the second half. “When our team decides to move the ball,” said Westmont head coach Landon Boucher, “our offense is really good. When we are locked in and on the same page, we can go on runs that don’t end for an extended stretch, like we saw tonight. “Every single time we play, we’re seeing our offense get more in rhythm.” Nate Meithof led the way with 28 points, while Cade Roth and Jared Brown added 23 and 15 respectively. On the boards for Westmont, Brown and Ajay Singh both collected a team-high six rebounds, while Meithof led the club with five assists. As a team, Westmont shot 53.7% from the field and converted 18, 3-pointers. “Nate led the brigade,” said Boucher. “Nate let the game come to him, especially in the first handful of minutes. He was getting everyone involved, and

as the half went on, he took the game over. “He did it in a number of ways, too. He was finding his teammates, he was making tough shots, and he was defending hard. It says he had five assists, but I’m telling you he had a ton of hockey-assists too. He made so many great passes to find an open man who immediately found another man for an easy look. Tonight, Nate was probably directly involved in more than fifty of our points.” The Warriors had it going from the start, opening up the game on a 13-4 run going into the first timeout. At that point, just four minutes in, Westmont was already four of four from beyond the arc. At the halfway point in the first half, the Warriors had shot eight of 11 from three-point range en route to building a 2919 advantage. Two minutes later, Roth’s fourth 3-pointer of the night stretched Westmont’s lead to 36-20. Westmont followed up Roth’s 3-pointer with a 16-2 run, led by a 10-point surge from Meithof, and ultimately carried a 59-31 lead into halftime. “Scoring wise, Cade is still getting his feet under him after so much time off,” said Boucher, “but tonight, to see him shoot eight of nine from the

UCSB achieves its fourth-highest scoring effort By DANIEL MOEBUS-BOWLES UCSB SPORTS WRITER

The UCSB men’s basketball team was dominant in its 202122 season opener, downing San Francisco State 119-65 in a home game. This was the fourth-highest scoring effort from the Gauchos in program history. Josh Pierre-Louis and Amadou Sow split the crown, scoring 25 apiece and even more impressively went on to a combined 18-for-24 from the field for a .750 field goal percentage. Shooting an incredible 8-for9 in the field, Pierre-Louis dropped 22 in first collegiate start and led the Gauchos to a 60-33 advantage in the first half. Defensively UCSB held SF State to 25% from the floor The scoring barrage continued in the second half with UCSB going 20-for-30 from the field to score 59 points. Miles Norris went 4-for-5 in the half, notching a team-high

12 points. “I think we have some really unselfish guards that pass the ball ahead so I think our guys can be a really great running team,” Head Coach Joe Pasternack said. “We have a lot of great athletes, (Pierre-Louis) in the open court is really spectacular, and we just have to keep getting better and better.” “We had a long summer and a lot of work, and it was nice to get back to work in front of the fans again,” Pierre-Louis said. “This was my first collegiate start so I mean, it’s the best thing ever. Doing my job is all that matters to me. but it definitely was a great feeling.” UCSB will now have its first road test heading to Pullman, Wash., on Monday to take on Washington State. The game will air live on the Pac-12 Network. Daniel Moebus-Bowles works in communications/media relations at UCSB.

SRDANOV, Vojislav

Vojislav Srdanov, better known to his family as “Giga,” passed away on Tuesday, November 9th. His last days were ﬁlled with love, surrounded by his immediate family, sharing stories and listening to his favorite music. Giga lived his life unapologetically, without fear, and with deep compassion for everyone around him. He saw the world as it should be, and lived everyday as an example of that ideal. He had a deep love for literature, science, chess, the arts, travel, good wine, ﬁshing, cooking for his family, and gardening. His most profound love, however, was for his beloved wife of 48 years, their three children and his three grandchildren. He was the most amazing grandfather, and spent as much time as he could showing them the creativity and beauty this world has to offer. Giga was born in Belgrade, Serbia and was a PhD of Physical Chemistry at the University of California Santa Barbara. He left his home country to pursue higher education in the US, but his heart always remained in Serbia. He travelled back frequently, and instilled a meaningful love for his culture within his children as well. Giga is survived by his wife, two children, three grandchildren, and countless friends from around the world. He will be missed for his zest for life, and his endless optimism. Volimo te Gigo.

CRAWFORD, Leland McCormack, Jr.

July 10, 1929 — September 23, 2021

On September 23, 2021, Leland McCormack Crawford, Jr. passed peacefully at home in Montecito. Family and caregivers were by his side. Leland, the youngest of three children, was born at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital on July 10, 1929. He spent his childhood riding bikes with his two sisters from the Santa Barbara Mission to the Montecito Country Club, the Coral Casino, Miramar Beach and the muni tennis courts. He later graduated from Santa Barbara High School and UC Berkeley, where he met his wife Francesca Jensen. He was an active Chi Phi fraternity brother and finished his law degree at UC Hastings. After serving in the U.S. Army, Leland practiced law for 52 years in Santa Barbara, 7 of those years in partnership with his father. Always civic minded, Leland served frequently as President of the board -- sometimes more than twice -- for the following organizations: Rotary Club of Santa Barbara, The State Bar Associations of both Santa Barbara and CA, Casa Dorinda, Lobero Theatre, Montecito Retirement Association, Santa Barbara Mental Health Association, and the State of CA Mental Health Association. He served as a board member for the Boy Scouts of America, Kiwanis Club, Montecito YMCA, Santa Barbara Historical Society, and Valley Club, the latter his pride and joy for being one of its longest-term members. During their active and loving 63 years of marriage, Leland and Frani volunteered for Montecito’s Beautification Day and many other charities, played tennis and golf, danced, socialized with friends and family, and organized golf trips all over the world. Leland read volumes of historical novels and books on US and world history, rarely missing the chance to debate history or current affairs. Never a dull moment be had when in his company. He shall be missed. Leland was predeceased by his mother Mae McCormack and his father Leland Morris Crawford; his sisters Eleanor Cassedy and Elizabeth Fee; and his adoring, beloved wife Francesca Jensen Crawford, whom he finally joins to continue their eternity of love and friendship. Leland is survived by his devoted daughter Paula Emmens and her husband Bruce; son Leland M. Crawford, III and his wife Stacey; granddaughter Sophia Crawford Hennigan and her husband Dan; grandson Robert Emmens. Services will be held at All Saints-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church in Montecito on Tuesday, November 23rd at 2pm.

Ellen Serra, 76, of Santa Barbara, California, passed on Monday, October 18, 2021 at Cottage Hospital, Santa Barbara, California. Born in Passaic, NJ to her late parents, Joseph and Ellen Dobkowski, and raised in Clifton, NJ before moving to Santa Barbara in her early twenties. She is survived by her beloved son, Kevin Robert Serra and by her devoted siblings, her sister Rev. Dr. Carol Lynch, brothers Joseph Dobkowski and James Dobkowski and her cherished nephews, nieces, and cousins as well as by her beloved cat, Gato. She is pre-deceased by her former husband, Robert Thomas Serra, of Teaneck, New Jersey. A memorial for friends and family on the east coast will be planned.

Crispina Briones Irabon was born on December 5, 1916, in Numancia, Aklan, Philippines. She was the eldest child who helped raise her eleven siblings, all born to Father, Luciano Briones, Sr. and her Mother, Maria Leyson Briones. She passed peacefully on November 6th, 2021 at the age of 104 years and eleven months in Santa Barbara, California. She was surrounded by loving members of her family. Known to many as “Mama,” she would have reached her 105th birthday this coming December 5th. Our family were planning to invite her relatives to a grant birthday party, but God had other plans. Mama married Jesus Ibardolaza Irabon in 1936 and they were blessed with six children, Edison, Rose, Winston, Beethoven (deceased), Racel and Daisy. Throughout their 60year marriage, she was blessed with 17 grandchildren and 35 great-grandchildren. Crispina was the true embodiment of beauty and brains. She met her husband at age 19 as a student, then fell in love, and got married. Papa assured Mama’s parents that she will complete her Bachelor of Science in Education - and true to his promise, Mama graduated with honors. And, indeed, she was quite beautiful. Mama was chosen Queen of her Barrio, Camanci Sur, hometown Queen of Numancia, and later chosen as Queen of Aklan Province, Philippines. In these roles, she represented her community with grace and kindness. She was a brilliant school teacher. In fact, she was my teacher in Grade one and two in Janlud Primary School. Most of you might not know that my full name, according to my birth certificate, is Crispina Araceli. When I started using Crispina as my first name in school, she asked me to use my second name, Araceli instead (so we do not use same name). But I complained that it’s a long name so she gave me the nickname, Racel, which is the middle of Araceli. Mama retired from teaching in 1976 so she could immigrate to the United States. Her husband and youngest daughter Daisy followed her two years later. Mama and her husband first settled in Fremont with Nene Rose and Nong Jun Yasul’s family. She even helped to take care of Nene Rose’s sons, Joey and Jay, while Nong Jun worked in Saudi Arabia. Years later, Mama and Papa moved to Santa Barbara in 1983 when our sister Daisy delivered her first born son, John Abella. They both helped take care of John, Mark and Jenny while Daisy and her husband, Bubut, were at work. Mama was known for her gentle and quiet spirit, loving kindness, compassion, patience, and humility. She was very supportive of her children’s dreams and ambitions. She had a sincere, caring spirit, and her unconditional love permeated her family members. She has been a constant support and love and prayers to all her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She will be missed by all who knew her. A Rosary will be held in her honor, Thursday, November 18th, 2021 at 6pm at the Welch-Ryce-Haider downtown Chapel. Mass will be held on Friday, November 19th, 10am, at St. Raphael’s Catholic Church. Interment will follow at Calvary Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to Welch-Ryce-Haider Funeral Chapels.

The Scotch & Sirloin restaurant stands in 1983 at Goleta Beach. Two years later it became the Beachside Bar-Cafe, which owner Dave Hardy operated for more than three decades until last January. The site, shown today in the other photo, has sat empty since then, but next summer a new restaurant, SeaLegs Santa Barbara, is set to open there. The menu will feature locally sourced California coastal dishes, artisanal cocktails and a Central Coast beer and wine program. Owners Omar Khashen and Joe “Diggs” Dies also have plans to open an adjacent beach snack shack with take-out gourmet food and drinks.

GELATO

Haskins), who lived in Italy, spoke to me in Italian. “We have a long family history. My great-grandmother owned one of the largest silk factories in all of Europe,” he said. But creating gelato wasn’t part of his artisanal family’s history. James Haskins discovered the joy of gelato for himself after his parents’ divorce. He was 14 when he and his siblings moved with their mother to live in Desenzano, a town on Lake Garda in Italy. That’s where Mr. Haskins discovered gelato is part of daily life, especially during the summer. Mr. Haskins graduated from high school in Italy, then worked to figure out the rest of his life. “Before my passion for gelato, I had a passion for photography. I was learning black-and-white photography and specialized in street photography,” said

Mr. Haskins, who finds his photography skills today useful for his business’ website and Instagram. “I traveled around Southeast Asia and lived in Australia for a year. I ended up getting certified to teach English and taught English in Italy. “I wanted to travel around the world and document people’s lifestyle, culture, music in documentary films,” he said. He decided to study film. So he returned to Santa Barbara and attended Santa Barbara City College from 2011 to 2013, then transferred to UCLA. In 2015, he earned his bachelor’s in cultural anthropology, after finally deciding he didn’t need a photography degree to handle a camera or edit film. Mr. Haskins changed his mind about his career when a friend told him of her plans to open a gelato shop in Hawaii. That led him to an epiphany that he could start a gelato shop as well. “It hit me like lightning,” he

said. “I had to do this. It wasn’t clear why. Now 10 years later, I think I am deeply connected with the concept of the artisan, somebody creating something from scratch. There is a more intimate relationship with the customer with the product. Maybe it’s more romantic than creating something in a factory and selling it wholesale. “The concept of being an artisan is probably what took it over,” Mr. Haskins said. “I felt like photography was not going to take me down the path where I would have been as engaged and passionate about the rest of my life.” The gelato shop didn’t happen overnight, though. Mr. Haskins said he found he wasn’t able to immediately create a shop, so in 2016, he created a gelato catering business. He worked in a shared commercial kitchen and booked weddings and other events, where he pulled his gelato in ice-packed carts.

Sexual Abuse Victims

In March, he opened his gelato shop at Paseo Nuevo. “Everybody thought we were crazy. ‘Why are you opening during a pandemic?’” Mr. Haskins said. “But we had a really good summer. It exceeded expectations. “There are challenges like hiring right now with the labor shortage, but the overall reaction to our product and our brand of authentic Italian gelato has been overwhelmingly positive from locals and tourists who are finally able to move around and visit Santa Barbara,” he said. The business involves his family. His wife, Deborah, who’s expecting to give birth soon to their second son, is the taste tester. “I go to her if I’m looking for a great second opinion or if I’m in doubt of something,” Mr. Haskins said. And their first son, Zion, 2, is a big supporter of the enterprise. “He loves gelato.” email: dmason@newspress.com

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

ARIES — Communication with your romantic partner could be more psychic than verbal today, although the conversation should be heartfelt, honest, and gratifying. You’ll share your feelings as well as ideas gained from reading. The subject of traveling together may come up. A stronger sense of unity and understanding could result. Make the most of it. TAURUS — Ideas for creative projects that might earn more money could buzz through your mind. There might be so many that you have to scramble to write them down so you don’t forget any. Discussions with friends or your partner could give you even more ideas instead of paring down the list. Let them come for now. You can make sense of them later. What’s important now is to get them in writing. GEMINI — Romance is at the top of your priority list today. A deep conversation may take place with your partner, perhaps to sort out your feelings about the relationship. Other matters of interest to you both could come up, and this bodes well for your future. Don’t give in to the temptation to point out your partner’s faults. Just say quietly what it is that you need. CANCER — Young visitors bring out the best in you today. Have you prepared some delicious food for your guests? When you want to, you can be a great host, keeping guests entertained and even enthralled. In return, they’re thoroughly enjoyable company. This should be a happy interlude for you since you like being sociable. You may receive a welcome delivery some time during the day, too. LEO — Today an organization dedicated to spiritual pursuits may open its doors in your neighborhood. This might be of special interest to you and your partner. You might want to go and check the place out. You could meet some interesting new people, hear about some fascinating ideas, and perhaps discover some new books. Be prepared for a fun evening. VIRGO — Today you need to address financial issues. You may have to find a bit of extra money in your bank account or budget. Chances are this isn’t a large sum, but enough to make a difference to you now. Take care of it and then settle down for a peaceful

evening at home. You won’t feel like going out, but you’ll enjoy your evening. LIBRA — Good news may come today. Whatever it is should make you very happy and cause you to be too hyper to sit still. You’ll probably want to take a quick walk around the neighborhood to work off some of the energy. This could put you in an optimistic space, looking forward to the future. Enjoy your evening. SCORPIO — Your imagination might soar into the wild blue yonder today. You may envision wonderful new plans for your future. Some money may be coming your way. There’s the possibility of a pending raise. Let your imagination roam freely. Over the next day, make a list of your options. Weed out the unworkable ones. Don’t rush to decide. SAGITTARIUS — Your mind could be of service to others today. You’ve been doing very well for yourself, and you’re thinking in terms of sharing your good fortune somehow. A friend may have ideas for groups that you could get involved with. Before you commit to anything, make sure you really want to do it. You don’t want to be entrusted with a cause and then let others down. CAPRICORN — Career matters are probably going well for you, but you might be unsure if you want to continue along this track. You might consider other options, perhaps some you’ve always wanted to try but have never been in a position to do. Don’t feel you have to decide now. You have plenty of time. Don’t make a move until you’re sure. AQUARIUS — Are you planning to attend a lecture or workshop? This is a good day for it. Your mind and emotions are working together to bring insights your way. Your common sense is operating at a very high level, so this is also a good day to make practical decisions. Communication with those who share your interests should be both gratifying and enlightening. PISCES — Inspiration and insights that come through dreams could give you the boost you need to get your career on track. You may have been kicking different ideas around for a while, but what you realize today could motivate you to act. Formulate a strategy before you begin. As long as you make the effort to stay focused, efficient, and practical, whatever you decide today might work.

Newsom signs health staffing order

San Francisco district attorne faces recall election

By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER

(The Center Square) — In preparation for a potential winter surge in COVID-19 cases, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order that will ensure the state’s health care facilities have adequate staffing and resources through the season. The order extends provisions enacted earlier in the pandemic that allows healthcare workers from other states to provide services in California. It also expands the health care workforce by enabling certain medical and emergency personnel to continue supporting the state’s COVID-19 response. In addition, the order allows health care facilities to adapt their spaces to accommodate patients in alternate areas, which includes using parking lots as pop-up clinics for vaccine distribution. Under the order, these provisions are extended through March 31. The order comes as California is tracking an increase in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in recent weeks, which placed the state back in the highest tier of community transmission, according to metrics outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As of Wednesday afternoon, the state had a case rate of 111.6 per 100,000.

By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER

(The Center Square) — San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin will officially face a recall election next June, the city’s Department of Elections confirmed this week. Elections officials on Tuesday certified the petition to remove the district attorney, announcing plans to hold the recall election on June 7, 2022 — the same date as the statewide primary election. Recall organizers submitted more than 83,000 signatures in support of the recall, which was about 32,000 more than required, according to the NEWS-PRESS FILE PHOTO

Continued from Page A1

The governor spoke about the potential surge of COVID-19 cases over the winter during a press conference in Los Angeles on Wednesday, where he warned that “winter is coming.” Gov. Newsom encouraged everyone eligible to get vaccinated or get the booster shot as soon as possible to

vaccinated, and thus increases health and safety by protecting students from the potential serious effects of the virus,” a district spokesperson said. Community COVID-19 case rates have decreased, and the employee vaccination rate is up to 96%.
