“I’m thrilled to have a vaccine,” said Dr. Henning Ansorg, the Santa Barbara County public health officer, after an FDA panel recommended approval of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.

In the St. Nick of time for Christmas, the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara opened a holiday pop-up shop called GIFT STUDIO in the Paseo Nuevo Shopping Center. Because the museum is currently unable to open to the public, the mall allowed it to occupy Suite 317, across from GAP Kids, at 651 Paseo Nuevo. Every weekend from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday to Sunday, the shop will be open, featuring pieces of art from local and international artists alike. “We wanted to first of all just

have a presence,” Alexandra Terry, the chief curator for the museum, told the News-Press. “It’s really important for us to be in the public and still have a connection with our community.” The pop-up provides another worthwhile pit stop for Christmas shoppers, with 50% of the proceeds going to the museum and the other 50% supporting the artists. GIFT STUDIO has everything from ceramics and felt sculptures to large canvas paintings and drawings. There are also many art catalogs from previous exhibitions and, in the holiday spirit, artistdesigned gift wrap, Christmas cards and gift cards. The shop also has a selection of

works from SlingShot Art Studio and Gallery, which features artists with intellectual disabilities who want to create and sell art. Ms. Terry said SlingShot artists can’t be in the studio spaces right now, so they’ve really had to adapt, sometimes having their materials delivered. “They have 40-plus artists, so we thought it was really important to give them a platform right now,” Ms. Terry said. Customers can also purchase T-shirts, jewelry and beach towels at the shop. Some of the featured artists include Elin Aasheim, Tanya Aguiñiga, Kii Arens, James Van Arsdale, Assume Vivid Astro Focus, Bonnie Burgess, Yasmine

Esfandiary, Barry McGee, Edgar Orlaineta, Xaviera Simmons and Garret Speirs. “What we wanted to do was have objects that we thought people might be interested in that are easy to buy and if there are people in town interested in starting to collect contemporary art, this is a great place to do that because we have affordable art and we’ve got a connection with each artist,” Ms. Terry said. The diverse curation of pieces provides options for all ages, including flower pots made out of real basketballs, concert tour posters and intricate paintings.

The first COVID-19 vaccine could arrive next week in Santa Barbara County. Dr. Henning Ansorg, the county public health officer, and Dr. David Fisk, Cottage Health’s medical director of infection prevention and control, said the first doses of Pfizer’s vaccine could be delivered quickly to local hospitals for healthcare workers who come into contact with COVID-19 patients, pending approval by the Food and Drug Administration. “This is a very monumental day in the battle against COVID,” Dr. Fisk told the News-Press Thursday after the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee voted 17-4, with one abstention, to recommend the FDA approve the vaccine. The FDA is not bound by the panel’s recommendation, but is widely expected to follow it. That authorization could come as soon

as today. “We are in such desperate straits in the country and state in battling COVID,” said Dr. Fisk, who’s also an infectious disease physician with Sansum Clinic. “Having this promising development is really good news.” Dr. Ansorg noted, “I’m thrilled to have a vaccine. “If everything goes according to plan, we will have a vaccine by the middle of next week — shipped directly from Pfizer to our hospitals: Cottage (in Santa Barbara) and Marian (Regional Medical Center in Santa Maria),” Dr. Ansorg told the News-Press Thursday. He added that Marian will take care of distributing the vaccine to Lompoc Valley Medical Center in Lompoc. “Then a week later, right after Christmas or around Christmas, maybe on the 24th, we’ll get a shipment from Moderna,” Dr. Ansorg said, referring to the second vaccine being considered Please see vaccine on A6

UCSB men’s soccer, which would have played host to the College Cup today in a nonCOVID world, will now have no season at all. The Big West Conference announced on Thursday that it has canceled all of its fall sports seasons because of the coronavirus pandemic. The decision affects five Gaucho sports: men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s cross country,

and women’s indoor volleyball. The season for Gaucho men’s water polo, which competes in the Golden Coast Conference, has also been left in doubt. “Protecting the health and safety of our student-athletes and following public health guidelines are our top priorities,” said Dan Butterly, who took over as Big West commissioner this summer. “Despite a strong desire to return our fall sport studentathletes to competition, the board unanimously agreed that the Please see big west on A2

Montecito Union Superintendent Anthony Ranii said the biggest difficulties for the school was: setting up outdoor classrooms; creating a staffing plan; and informing parents. Despite overcoming these challenges, the decision to reopen was not easy. “It’s difficult to know what the right course is because it’s a rapidly evolving situation,� he said.

A new movement UCSB instructor brooke smiley connects dance with land

UCSB dance instructor brooke smiley performs “Re:Forming” at the Center Stage Theater Dec. 5. The performance was live-streamed, and a recording is available through the end of the year.

CSB teacher brooke smiley sweeps her arms effortlessly yet powerfully as she dances beside a creek in the trailer for “Lifelines,” a new film. Dancers might call her performances postpostmodern or contemporary, but her style is best described in its connection to land. Ms. smiley is also trained in Earth architecture and somatics, creating a trifecta of land-body spirituality. She feels a connection to land, and she hopes people see it in the way she dances. Ms. smiley, who made the creative choice not to capitalize her name, has Osage ancestry, and her native roots are referenced in her art. The Western Arts Alliance awarded her one of five Native Launchpad Artist Awards, a prize valued at $40,000. It supports three years of travel, performance and artistic development to indigenous artists. “The award to me is a whole process of even just applying for the award is a big deal because that’s the first time I’ve written an application that I felt like I didn’t have to change myself,” Ms. smiley told the News-Press. “It really means a lot to be honored for the next three years to create work that is a part of this transition. Just being seen is a transformative act.” Instructor brooke smiley dances in a style she describes as post-postmodern, for it is on the forefront of new techniques.

She aims to honor indigenous history with “Lifelines,” an improvisational score for dancers to interpret and perform in nature’s beauty. “‘Lifelines’ is an opportunity for our national parks, or local historical places of interest, and indigenous communities to build relationships to honor who came before and who is still here,” Ms. smiley said. She hopes to expand the project over the next five to 10 years, or maybe even longer. A film of “Lifelines” premiered alongside a project called “Re:Forming” in a livestream from the Center Stage Theater Dec. 4. A recording of the performance is available until Jan. 1 at centerstagetheater.org. “Re:Forming” originated with the media arts and technology department at UCSB. Since June, she, Samuelle Bourgault, Philip Kobernik and Mark Hirsch have been studying how to merge dance with 3D printing. A pose-tracking software remembers Ms. smiley’s movements and prints them into a crystal sculpture. She liked the idea because it is reminiscent of her earth architecture work. “Utilizing the printer in performance brings me into different ways of seeing myself and the performance,” she said. To test the technology, Ms. smiley and her crew created a 2D picture that merged her Please see movement on A4

class’s movements. The class was amazed to see their solos unified into a piece. To amplify the “Re:Forming� performance, Vickie Scott worked with the team and designed the lighting. “The lighting became another aspect of the performance that became so very important and valuable,� Ms. smiley said. She describes the performance’s preparation as water, “so refreshing and easy.� Ms. smiley also used the word “refreshing� to describe her work instructing dance classes at UCSB. “I’m so proud of the work my students are doing. It’s been fortifying and renewing to spend this quarter together,� she said. With her background in somatics, she aims to nurture her students’ mental health, equipping them with the tools to cope with life’s turns. “Dance and somatic education, all our expressions are moving. It has a way of making visible our patterns, our preferences, our ways of being,� Ms. smiley said. “We can experience freedom and let the body lead instead of the mind; it’s healing.� Her public art aims to center the community. After the 2018 Montecito debris flow, she built a superadobe earth sculpture from Montecito mud called “Permission to Heal.� She uses art to bring awareness to injustice. “I think it really comes down to care and radical care and radical listening. I think it has a way of bringing out spaces in society and culture and on this land where it’s not equal,� she said. Ms. smiley would like to see more American Indian and indigenous representation at UCSB, a campus built on Chumash land. “It’s just time to give us our own space and to be accessible to our community and all communities,� she said. “I’m really here to support whatever I can do to create that into being.� Her reverence for native ancestry extends through her work, and the Native Launchpad Artist Award encourages that expression in both her dance and earth architecture. “I’m really honored that I’ve cultivated each of these skills specifically, and now I’m at a time in my life where I can be courageous and overlap them in a new way.� email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

ARIES — Regardless of how much the storm seems to be raging out of control, you will be able to handle it, Aries. Have confidence in your grounded nature. There’s a reason why you take the time to address the details and carefully plan your moves. Today is one day when you will see the rewards of your diligent actions, especially in love, beauty, and your deepest emotions. TAURUS — Hold on to your hat, Taurus, and be ready for some action. You’re coming to a critical point in your emotional cycle when your heart feels heavy. You may feel pinned down by a huge weight, like you’re being sucked into quicksand. Grab a branch and pull yourself out. Rise above the current situation with the help of a lofty perspective. GEMINI — In a string of intense emotional dramas, the last thing you need is one more, Gemini. Unfortunately, it looks like you’re going to get just that. Once again, an incredible romantic scenario is coming to a head, and your emotions are in turmoil. Hold still, wait for the hit, and then proceed. If you have the feeling that you’re going to blow up at someone, simply walk away from the situation. CANCER — There’s a great deal of grounding energy in your world today, Cancer, which might work to smother your fire. Whatever happens, don’t let the embers burn out. One of the assets you bring to the group is a strong dynamism that gives people the courage to change. Be a fighter in the ring. Remember that at the end of the day, you need only be satisfied with the performance of one person - you. LEO — Take pressing matters to the hilt today, Leo, especially when it comes to romantic issues and emotional needs. You have all the data you need to make a valid point. You have a whole battalion of facts to back you up, so fire at will. Your feelings are strong and intense. Don’t ignored them under any circumstances. Go with your gut instincts before you trust anything else. VIRGO — As you try to express your opinions today, you may have the feeling that someone is kicking sand in your face, Virgo. Like a kid on the beach, you have nothing but the raw elements to use to defend yourself. Use one of your greatest gifts - the power of your mind - to combat the opposing force. Your +*#!2 +1$)"$ability to outsmart others will be

your most powerful tool. LIBRA — Your boat is likely to be rocked today, Libra, to the point where you and all of your belongings could go overboard. Be prepared to swim ashore. Grounding and stability are the keys to maintaining a healthy attitude, especially when it comes to ever-fluctuating emotions. Issues regarding the home and people’s possessions are likely to surface in a dramatic manner. Listen to your heart for the answers. SCORPIO — Calm down and get centered, Scorpio. This is an extremely sensual day that’s likely to pique your emotions. You’re apt to receive input from each one of your senses, so keep these channels open and available for new information that’s trying to break through. Don’t be hasty. You’re better off taking a reserved, receptive approach today. SAGITTARIUS — Today is your day to shine in every way, Sagittarius. There’s a concentration of energy in your favor, so act boldly and without hesitation. Your emotions are leading the way, and your heart is barely a half a step behind. Follow these forces like the Pied Piper. Let this be the start of a wild ride on a whole new roller coaster of adventures. The time is right for you to lead. CAPRICORN — Your heart and emotions are on the same page, Capricorn, but they may not be on the page you want them to be. It could be that you’re reminiscing about an event from the past. What was once a happy set of encounters now leaves you feeling like there are thorns in your side. Focus on the present and let the past become history. AQUARIUS — Let your sensual, nurturing instincts shine through, Aquarius. Rely on your sixth sense. If things start to get rough, remember that you have the ability to keep your cool. Not only is this an extremely important tool but it’s also essential to maintaining any sort of stability in the situation. Keep your footing at all times. Your sanity depends on it. PISCES — A solid grounding is apt to be extremely important to you today, Pisces. Hearts may be broken or won, depending on how well you play your cards. Keep in mind that the slow and steady contender is most likely going to win this race. All the talk in the world will get you nowhere. Today is about quality and action. Shoddy efforts will yield shoddy results.

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

Continued from Page A1 by the FDA. “Then we should get follow-up shipments fairly quickly after that,� Dr. Ansorg added. “Both vaccines need a second shot. “The absolute first priority is for health care workers: nurses, doctors and medical technicians in emergency rooms and ICUs and (elsewhere) in hospitals where they take care of COVID patients,� Dr. Ansorg said. The public health officer said the next priority would be residents and health care workers in nursing homes. “They’ll get it sometime in January.� Dr. Fisk said he doesn’t have information on when the vaccine will become available for patients who are seniors. “We can expect the supply of vaccines in Santa Barbara County and the state to increase rapidly in the coming weeks,� he said. Army Gen. Gus Perna, who’s in charge of the vaccine program called Operation Warp Speed, told CBS News in November that the federal government will begin to distribute a COVID-19 vaccine within 24 hours after it is approved. Dr. Fisk said Cottage Health, which includes Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital as well as hospitals in Goleta and Solvang, is expected to receive at least 975 doses of Pfizer’s vaccine. “We’re identifying our individuals who work at Cottage who have the highest risk of COVID exposure based on their job duties,� Dr. Fisk said. He said those employees include those working in the Emergency Department and Intensive Care Units, as well as those in other departments. “That impacts a range of units across the institution,� he said. “It depends more on job duty than the point of exposure.� Dr. Fisk said Cottage Health hasn’t had any staff who have acquired COVID from working in the COVID cohort units. “We’ve had staff acquire COVID from

other healthcare workers in the work settings. We have had staff acquire COVID from patients who have had negative initial COVID testing upon their arrival or prior to their transfer.� The News-Press asked Dr. Fisk about any concerns related to the two possible allergic reactions reported this week in Britain, which delivered the Pfizer vaccine to healthcare workers and seniors. “I did not find those reactions surprising, given they were anticipated there would be some of those, given the nature of this vaccine,� Dr. Fisk said. He noted the two individuals had a known history of allergies. Dr. Fisk said the rate of allergic reactions is very low when compared to the more than 40,000 people in Pfizer’s successful trials. He said Cottage Health is preparing for the possibility of occasional allergic reactions for its staff and physicians. He added he was encouraged by the findings in a New England Journal of Medicine article covering the vaccine’s effectiveness and safety. “I was very happy to see that.� One concern is about the amount of vaccine needed. On Tuesday, President Donald Trump said he would invoke the Defense Production Act, if necessary, to ensure Americans are first in line for domestically produced vaccines. “But we don’t think it will be necessary. If it is, it’s a very powerful act,� he said during a vaccine summit at the White House. The act gives the president authority over U.S. industries and, for the sake of national security, requires private companies to prioritize contracts with the government. Invoking the act should be considered to produce more vaccines and personal protection equipment, U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, told the News-Press Wednesday. He said farmers have told him they need more N95 masks for their workers in the fields. email: dmason@newspress.com

Lompoc’s Araujo now gets his kicks with U.S. National Team By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Teenage soccer star Julian Araujo is among the first to lend a helping hand, having been voted as the Los Angeles Galaxy’s Humanitarian of the Year after teaming with his mother to feed farmworkers near his hometown of Lompoc. And now he’s lending a helping foot to American soccer. Araujo, a recent addition to the National Senior Team, assisted the United States’ fourth goal in a 6-0 victory over El Salvador on Wednesday in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. He considered it an early Christmas present for his parents, Jorge and Lupe, who immigrated to America before he was born. “It’s always been a goal of mine to play at the international level, and for them just to see me play with the U.S. would be something for me to check off on my dreams,” he said. “I always want to just try to make them proud and happy and give them back what they deserve, because throughout my whole life and my career they’ve given me everything to get to this point.” Earning a national team cap is the latest achievement in Araujo’s meteoric rise in soccer. It began with the U13-U14 teams of the Santa Barbara Soccer Club and continued at Lompoc High School, where he also kicked for the Braves’ Los Padres League championship football team. As a sophomore in the fall of 2016, he booted 59 extra points and five field goals including a 49-yarder during a 12-1 football season which didn’t end until the CIF-Southern Section Division 4 semifinals. He headed for Arizona the following year to play for Barcelona’s Barça Residency Academy while also drawing an invitation from the national program to play for its U16 team. He returned to Southern California a year later, however, to join the Galaxy’s academy team. Araujo, who turned 19 in August, was planning to play for UCSB in the fall of 2019. The Galaxy circumvented that, however, by signing him to a pro contract that spring while promoting him to its Major

League Soccer roster. He’s made 35 appearances in two seasons with the club, starting all 17 of this year’s matches while scoring a goal and assisting three others. “I’ve seen him progress so much,” Galaxy midfielder Sebastian Lletget said. “A lot has been asked of him… he’s really stepped up. His energy is incredible, his pace, his hunger. It’s contagious for all of us, having a guy that young being fearless.” Araujo credited the team’s veterans for bringing him along. “Last season, I think I was a lot more shy, more calm and not really the way I am now,” he said. “Having the teammates that we have around me definitely gave me a confidence boost, on and off the field. “I’ve felt like I’ve grown and matured as an adult now and I feel like I will continue to learn from them and take a lot more from them.” He’s already assumed a leadership role in the Lompoc community, helping to feed farmworkers last June. In each

meal, he included a note which said, “When the sun rises, you go to work. When the sun goes down, you continue working. Thank you for working with your hands, your mind and your heart.” Araujo said he wanted to use his “platform to bring attention to the grueling conditions and low pay that our field workers are experiencing every day.” “A bunch of my family has worked in the fields, coming from Mexico at a very young age, their first jobs were working in the fields,” he said. “They wake up early to go to work, they get home late. “It is something that hit my heart and something that I felt I could use my platform and hopefully help them out and let them know that they’re not going unrecognized.” U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter summoned Araujo to the senior team’s training camp last month with an eye to what will be a busy 2021 season. The young defender is also a strong candidate for the Under-23 Olympic Team. “Julian’s an example of a guy that you want on your team,” he said. “He’s a guy that goes out and puts everything on the line every time he’s playing, and that’s what we like about him. “We see him as a fullback, and we want our fullbacks attacking, we want them to be aggressive. So I think he fits right into what we do.” Araujo’s assist on Wednesday came during the 25th minute. He settled the ball just beyond the corner of the box before looping a cross to the far post. Chris Mueller finished it with a perfectly timed, diving header. Although he was born and raised in Lompoc, Araujo is also eligible to play for his parents’ native country. Mexico head coach Tata Martino confirmed that he has contacted him about joining his team. Araujo, however, prefers to focus on just the task at hand. “Obviously it’s a tough decision, and it’s something that is really hard for me, but I don’t think about it too much right now,” he said. “I just want to grow as a player and continue to get better each and every day.”

BOYAN, Norman J. Norman J. Boyan was born on April 11, 1922 in the Bronx, N.Y. He died peacefully at home in Santa Barbara, CA on December 2, 2020. He was a wonderful husband and a devoted father, grandfather and great grandfather. Norman was an accomplished educator, a warm and caring friend, and a skilled athlete who enjoyed baseball, basketball, golf, and cycling. He was a regular participant in exercise activities at the Valle Verde Senior Living Community, well into his 90s. A great storyteller with a wealth of tales, he had an amazing memory, an infectious laugh, and an outgoing and warm-hearted personality, with a smile always dancing around his mouth as he spun his stories. He was a man of great integrity, patient and kind, who truly enjoyed life and his family. Both of Norman’s parents were deaf and did not speak, making it all the more remarkable that he grew up to become such a learned and erudite man. His parents were of Italian heritage on his mother’s side and Irish on his father’s side. He was schooled in the Bronx and Mount Vernon, NY, graduating from A.B. Davis High School in 1938 (at age 16) where he was very active in sports and student activities. He attended Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, where he met his future wife, Priscilla, who was also attending Bates. At Bates he was active in student government and sports, Editor of the school paper, and was chosen for Phi Beta Kappa. He joined the Army in 1943 but still graduated with a BA in History and Government and married Priscilla that same year. He received his commission as 2nd Lt. in September 1944 and his oldest son, Stephen, now deceased, was born at Boca Raton, Florida, Air Base while he was on active duty. He spent his service years at bases in the U.S. and after discharge in January 1946, he entered graduate study at Harvard University, receiving an MA in History in 1947 and an Ed.D. in Educational Administration in 1951. Norman spent 44 years in education, from 1946 to his retirement in 1990, including positions as research assistant, high school instructor, Assistant Principal at Mineola High School and Principal of the Wheatley School (both on Long Island, NY), Director of Student Teaching and Internship at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Associate Professor at Stanford University. From 1967-1969 he worked in the-then U.S. Office of Education as Director of Educational Laboratories, and from 1969 until 1980 he was Dean of the Graduate School of Education at the University of California at Santa Barbara, retiring from UCSB as Professor of Education Emeritus in 1990. He was very involved in educational literature, serving as contributor to and editor of many publications, including the first Handbook of Research on Educational Administration, published in 1988. His professional activities included several stints as visiting professor or visiting scholar at schools around the US and around the world, and consultant and accreditation services to a large number of school districts, colleges and universities. He leaves two sons (Craig and Corydon), two marvelous daughters-in-law (Barbara and Debra), four wonderful grandchildren (Ivy, Omar, Haley, and Andrew), four great grandchildren (LaJune, Aria, Chalandra and Josephine), and a close niece (Keren). He was predeceased by his wife, Priscilla, his son Stephen and his daughter Patricia. Norman’s life embodied the essence of the American dream, celebrating the central importance of love, family and hard work. He and his wife Priscilla enjoyed a long, beautiful and well-lived life. They met more than 80 years ago, and spent 77 years as loving husband and wife. When she passed in November he followed her almost immediately, with only 12 days separating their departures. They are together again, as they always were, a beautiful love story for the ages.
