The Eternal Flame, a monument dedicated to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., is usually lit the weekend before MLK Jr. Day. But, this year, the Martin Luther King Jr. Committee of Santa Barbara moved its events online.

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
The Martin Luther King Jr. Committee of Santa Barbara honors Rev. Dr. King annually on the third Monday in January and the preceding weekend. This year, the committee is honoring him through a robust virtual program from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. today, livestreamed on mlksb.org and the MLKCommitteeSB Facebook page. The weekend usually begins with the lighting of UCSB’s Eternal Flame, a monument dedicated to MLK Jr. But this year, the committee chose to forego all inperson activities. A video montage of 2008-2020’s events will show the tradition. Dr. Anna Everett and Rev. Richard A. Lawrence will speak during the program. Dr. Everett is an emeritus professor at UCSB, a recently elected SBCC trustee and a volunteer on the Santa Barbara County Commission for Women. She advocates for marginalized groups as a leader in many organizations. Rev. Lawrence, of San Diego, is a retired United Methodist clergyman who seeks social justice in his ministry. He knew Dr. King personally as an advocate in the civil rights movement. He led an interracial group of students from Chicago to Selma for the Selma-to-Montgomery march in 1965. When Dr. King visited Chicago, Rev. Lawrence helped him organize a demonstration. He is a leader in dozens of organizations including Operation Breadbasket and Black United Funds in Chicago and New York City. Performances from previous years will be featured, such as: the combined choirs of B’nai B’rith Choir and Unitarian Society of Santa Barbara Choir, directed by the late Ken Ryals, World Dance for Humanity, Dance Institute of Santa Barbara, Inner Light Gospel Choir and Coastal West Community Choir. Students ages 6-18 participated in an essay and poetry competition held by MLKSB and Santa Barbara’s AntiDefamation League. Schools from throughout the South Coast encourage students to enter.

Santa Barbara City Council to discuss revitalizing urban core By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
In a special meeting on Thursday, Jan. 21, the Santa Barbara City Council will receive a presentation from the Santa Barbara Chapter of American Institute of Architects on the lessons learned through the 2020 Community Design Charrette. The purpose of the charrette was to explore strategies and opportunities to reimagine Downtown Santa Barbara through housing, enhancements to the promenade, paseos, open spaces and public private partnerships. It was held during the summer of 2020 in response to the critical need for housing, a rise of vacant buildings and the creation of the State Street promenade. The project included video meetings, distanced meetings on the street, a survey on the desirability of living downtown with almost 5,000 responses, 16 volunteer design teams made up of 160 participants and many meetings of architects, landscape architects, engineers, artists, event planners, interior designers, students and other local experts. The teams were asked to provide the following: “solutions for the incorporation of housing through adaptive reuse of existing buildings and new buildings at opportunity sites such as open parking lots, solutions for the outdoor spaces within the designated two-block area including State Street
(i.e. 400 block), detailed project statistics to demonstrate the feasibility and development potential and recommendations about regulatory adjustments to incentivize the new vision for housing and open space,” according to the staff report. According to the survey that included 5,000 participants, 77% of whom said they currently reside in Santa Barbara, around 84% of them said they want to see State Street closed to all vehicular traffic permanently. Around 56% supported the idea of the street being shared by pedestrians and cyclists, with 35% supporting pedestrians only on the street. Approximately 64% of people said there should be more housing in the downtown State Street area, and 57% of them said they’d like to see small, one to two bedroom rental apartments there. When asked about building heights, 54% of people said they think the appropriate height for buildings downtown is three stories, rather than four, five or higher. In addition, 63% said that if they could live downtown, they’d need a car near their home, and 91% said they would prefer to pay additional for a parking space in their building. The special meeting will begin at 4 p.m. on Thursday, and can be viewed in English and Spanish on City TV Channel 18 or streamed live at www. SantaBarbaraCA.gov/CAP. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Goleta City Council Santa Maria City Council to discuss Active Transportation Plan to discuss Hollister By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
This Tuesday, the Santa Maria City Council will be recommended to adopt the Santa Maria Active Transportation Plan. The plan was created to provide a safe, sustainable, integrated and efficient transportation system, and will facilitate the design and implementation of a connected bicycle and pedestrian network to provide safe, affordable and accessible transportation alternatives to the city. The plan aims to encourage more residents to participate in active transportation and includes safer routes to area schools. The plan’s objectives include updating the Bikeway Masterplan, compiling the city’s rightof-way ADA program and prioritizing potential projects, integrating the Safe Routes to School plan, developing a citywide multi-modal plan and facilitating the application to various grant programs.
In other business, the council will be recommended to deny the appeal and approve the decision made by the Planning Commission to approve a Planned Development Permit and adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Centennial Gardens project. The applicant, Urban Planning Concepts/ Southport Financial Services, Inc., proposes to construct 160 affordable apartment units located on a vacant 8.36-acre project site within Subarea 5A of the Blosser-Southeast Specific Plan. The appellant, Mr. Spagnolo, filed an appeal citing that the project generated traffic and parking and opposed the wrought iron fence along the western trail corridor and the building height. “After considering all the written and oral evidence presented at both hearings, and discussions specific to the same issues brought up in the appeal, the Commission concluded the project as conditioned would
Kristina Jansen appointed World Business Academy executive director SANTA BARBARA — The World Business Academy, a nonprofit advocating for socially responsible business practices, announced its new executive director this month: Kristina Jansen. She has worked as chief of staff since October 2017 and is already accustomed to working sideby-side with CEO Rinaldo S. Brutoco to run key programs. Before joining the academy’s staff, she held positions of business management in a variety of industries. “After 17 years working in organizations that prioritized profit-driven activities, often to the detriment of other success metrics, I came to a point in my career when I felt called to shift my professional energies into a role that better aligned with my values,” she said in a news release. “In pursuing this calling, I left a lucrative position without a specific plan but found a new home at the World Business Academy.” Her work has not gone unnoticed by Mr. Brutoco, who said, “Kristy brings tremendous experience, maturity, dedication, and wisdom to our team. She is exceptionally talented at identifying methods and solutions needed to achieve our strategic mission. As our organization evolves in these constantly changing times, we are fortunate to have a pragmatic optimist at our

Teacher banned from Santa Barbara Unified School District By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR
A now-former Santa Barbara Unified School District teacher, who has been subject to current and previous litigation, has been permanently banned from ever teaching again. Matef Harmachis was banned from the district and had his teaching credential revoked by the state of California in March 2020. At that time, he was taken off the payroll and his ties with the school district were severed on March 8, 2020, according to Camie Barnwell, public information officer for the district. The district issued a statement to the News-Press on Friday outlining Mr. Harmachis’ removal. The move came after calls from attorneys representing a student who was allegedly sexually assaulted by Mr. Harmachis in 2017. On Nov. 30, 2020, a civil lawsuit was filed by Manly, Stewart & Finaldi — one of the nation’s leading firms representing victims of sexual abuse cases
against school districts, churches, physicians and other governing bodies — in Santa Barbara County Superior Court for, among other things, sexual battery, sexual assault and negligent supervision and hiring retention against the district and Mr. Harmachis. The lawsuit alleges that, in 2017, Mr. Harmachis committed sexual battery and sexual harassment on a female student during school hours. The lawsuit further alleges that Mr. Harmachis was placed under arrest and criminally charged for these actions, to which he pled no contest and received a criminal sentence. As alleged in the lawsuit, Mr. Harmachis subsequently had his teaching credential stripped by the State of California and was terminated by the district. According to the lawsuit, Mr. Harmachis has a well-documented history of inappropriate conduct as a teacher, with the district attempting to terminate Mr. Harmachis as a teacher in 2005 for physical assault of and inappropriate sexual comments toward students. Attorneys say the
district spent more than $1,000,000 in legal fees in attempting to terminate Mr. Harmachis, but ultimately reinstated him as a teacher. The reinstatement came following former district Superintendent Brian Sarvis publicly stating that Mr. Harmachis was a “detriment to students” and noting that the district “cannot have Matef teaching high school students.” Nevertheless, the district placed Mr. Harmachis back in a loosely supervised teaching position where he had direct access to female students, the attorneys said. “We are truly shocked by, not only of course, the behavior of Mr. Harmachis, but also the complete lack of responsibility taken by the District to look after and care for its student body by placing Mr. Harmachis in a position to sexually batter and harass students, after it knew and admitted that he was a danger,” said Morgan Stewart, attorney for the plaintiff.

Avenue streets plan By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
On Tuesday, the Goleta City Council will be recommended to create a new Capital Improvement Program project called the Hollister Avenue Old Town Interim Striping Project. Council will be asked to appropriate $70,000 to the project and direct staff to initiate design for the project based on a two-lane Hollister Avenue. This is a continuation of the discussion from the Dec. 15 council meeting on this topic. The project would implement the two-lane alternative from the Complete Streets Project with changing roadway striping, legends and signage. “The interim striping project would focus only on restriping Hollister Avenue in Old Town Goleta and defer the other improvements to be completed to the Complete Streets Project, such as sidewalk widening, new medians, landscaping, and other beautification elements,” the staff report says. “The project would include adding Class II bike lanes within the existing roadway width. This would reduce the two major obstacles to implementing the Complete Street Project, the long timeline and lack of funding, while allowing the city to temporarily implement and meet the primary goals of the Complete Streets Project.” If council approves the interim striping project, Public Works will still have to go through the standard project delivery process, including conceptual design, environmental review, final design and construction phases. In other business, the council will hold an open public hearing to take verbal and written testimony on a resolution to approve a General Plan amendment from Public/ Quasi-Public to Community Commercial on a 4,355-square foot site located at 5631 Calle Real.

Group, LLC applied to change the subject property’s General Plan land use and zoning designations. “The proposed General Plan Amendment and Ordinance Amendment would make the subject property’s land use and zoning designations consistent with the site’s current use, historic use, adjacent uses, and prior land use and zoning designations,” the staff report reads. “As discussed above, no new significant impacts would result from approving the requested General Plan and Ordinance amendments.” The Goleta City Council will also receive a presentation and report on Project Labor Agreements, and suggest the possible adoption of a Project Labor Agreement requirement for the city projects above a certain threshold construction dollar amount. According to the staff report, PLAs are typically used to: 1) necessitate worker representation by local labor unions determined per trade on the covered projects and 2) set forth basic terms and conditions of employment applicable to contractors. Finally, the council will select City Council representatives to Regional Agencies and City Council committees. The meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 19, and can be viewed on Goleta Channel 19 or online at https://tinyurl.com/ GoletaMeetings. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

The Santa Barbara Symphony announced its annual Santa Barbara Youth Symphony Concerto Competition.
Santa Barbara Symphony to hold youth competition By GERRY FALL NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
The Santa Barbara Symphony has announced its annual Santa Barbara Youth Symphony Concerto Competition, a longstanding tradition of providing Santa Barbara County’s finest young musicians the opportunity to be featured as a soloist with the Santa Barbara Youth Symphony. For the first time, this event will be virtual, and this year’s competition, normally only open to members of the Symphony’s programs, is now open to any student up to age 18 residing in Santa Barbara County that studies an instrument other than a traditional orchestral instrument. “During these uncertain times, our music programs are more vital than ever, given their ability to support the social and emotional well-being of students, and their ability to foster community,” said Kristine Pacheco-Bernt, Director of Education for the Santa Barbara Symphony. “While this year’s Concerto Competition will look a
little different, we’re so excited to be able to continue this prestigious opportunity for our students and showcase their talent.” The Concerto Competition is open to students currently enrolled in the Santa Barbara Youth Symphony’s 2020-2021 season and any student up to age 18 residing in Santa Barbara county that studies an instrument outside of the typical orchestral realm. For example, students that study piano, classical guitar, or Baroque instruments are invited to compete. To participate, students are asked to submit a pre-recorded audition video. Symphony Music & Artistic Director Nir Kabaretti will chair the jury alongside Dr. Yvette Devereaux, Conductor of the Santa Barbara Youth Symphony, and musicians from the Symphony. Winners of the competition will be invited to perform their piece with the Santa Barbara Youth Symphony in an upcoming concert. Due to the current Covid-19 restrictions, the details of the concert have yet to be finalized. “While we serve the entire community with different programs, we take special
pride in following and advancing our young musicians who show extraordinary talent,” said Kabaretti. “Auditions and competition are an essential skill for performing musicians on all levels, and we’re happy these students get this opportunity, especially during the early stages of their musical path. I am personally very excited to hear from the Youth Symphony students, who normally I only get to hear as part of the ensembles.” Students interested in applying must complete an online application available on the Symphony’s website here The deadline for submitting application forms is February 7, and the deadline for submitting performance videos (with digitized score) is March 14, 2021, by 11:59 pm. Late applications will not be considered. An application fee of $40 applies for students not in the Youth Symphony. Please write a check to “The Santa Barbara Symphony” and mail to 1330 State Street, Suite. 102, Santa Barbara CA 93101, attention: SBYS Concerto Competition. email: gfall@newspress.com

“Even now, the District continues to regularly invite Mr. Harmachis back onto campus to work with students by virtue of his involvement with the Ethnic Studies Now! group. The District even continues to have pictures of Mr. Harmachis up on their website as part of their Ethnic Studies curriculum,” Mr. Stewart said. “We absolutely encourage any other students, past or present, that were subjected to inappropriate treatment at the hands of Mr. Harmachis to contact Santa Barbara law enforcement. The District needs to wake up and ensure that its students are protected from this predator.” In the statement to the News-Press, Ms. Barnwell said that the district was “shocked and concerned” to see that he attended a meeting held at the district as a member of Ethhnic Studies Now!, a nonprofit organization. “He was not invited by anyone at the district to attend this meeting,” Ms. Barnwell said. “His membership in this nonprofit was not within the control of SBUSD. Mr. Harmachis is not welcome at any district function or on any district campus. We have conveyed that position to Ethnic Studies Now! organizers in the strongest terms.” Ms. Barnwell described the allegations
against Mr. Harmachis in 2017 as “reprehensible.” “He violated our trust and standards for professional conduct with students. Our sympathies go out to the victim and her family,” she said. “The district pursued every legal avenue and California Ed code to ban Mr. Harmachis from the classroom.” Ms. Barnwell said that, stemming from the 2005 incident, Mr. Harmachis was never criminally charged. The district “worked diligently within the limits of the law and state regulations” over the years to terminate him although he was not convicted of a crime. “We were unsuccessful in that effort and ultimately had to reinstate him as a teacher in 2006,” she said. When the district first learned of the 2017 incident, officials immediately contacted law enforcement and cooperated with their investigation, which led to his arrest and criminal charges for battery. “At the start of this process, he was immediately removed from the classroom and placed on leave. While on leave, he was not allowed on any school campus, and school administrators were told to report to district officials if he appeared,” Ms. Barnwell said. The civil lawsuit seeks financial damages on behalf of the victim and her family. email: mwhite@newspress.com

Paintings offer respite in chaotic world By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
With the country battered by the pandemic, a hotly contested election, the nation’s capitol invaded by rioters and an atmosphere marked by dread and hysteria, curators at Sullivan Goss-An American Gallery in downtown Santa Barbara felt this community could use a space for peace and contemplation. Drawing from its artists’ studios, collector consignments and its own treasure vault, the gallery staff has assembled 16 works spanning from 1890 to today that invite a meditative or peaceful state of mind. “Each work has been carefully selected both to typify the artist’s best work and to help viewers slip away into reverie,” said Jeremy Tessmer, gallery director. “Installed with ample breathing room in the gallery’s largest exhibition space, they offer a refuge to weary artists, collectors and visitors.” The exhibition is open for socially distant viewing through March 1. Gallery visits are limited to eight mask-wearing guests at a time. The exhibit is also available online. The works range from late 19th- and early 20thcentury impressionist paintings by Leon Dabo (18641960), Lockwood de Forest (1850-1932), and Colin Campbell Cooper to mid-century and contemporary abstractions by William Dole (1917-1983) and Oskar Fischinger (1900-1967) to abstract works by gallery stalwarts like Whitney Brooks Abbott, Meredith Brooks Abbott, Ken Bortolazzo, Susan McDonnell, Chris Peters, Nicole Strasburg and Sarah Vedder. “Art can be an effective emotional trigger. High contrast works with bright, hyper-saturated colors and dynamic compositions can excite us — stimulating increased energy and mental activity. Paintings and drawings that use a more restrained and harmonized palette or whose imagery and compositions invoke the pastoral or the dreamy have the opposite effect. They calm us. They soothe,” said Mr. Tessmer. email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

Vase shows profound element of porcelain design
J
.S. sent me a beautiful 18-inch canister-shaped Chinese vase, and she is wondering about its age and why it is designed with a repeating “grasses�
theme. She brought up a profound element of Chinese porcelain design: the symbolism of the objects, animals, plants, birds and vegetation that are pictured. Why? This tradition of symbolism goes back way before the Ming Dynasty ( 1368-1644). But J.S., the green stuff is not grass. It is a repeating design of cabbage. Cabbage, you say? What deep symbolism might the connoisseur of Chinese porcelain have found in cabbage? The Chinese cabbage is white in the stalk and spreads to a delightful delicate rich green, and when harvested, contains insects sequestered in its tight leaves. The cabbage symbolizes female purity – the white stalk, which spreads to green abundance and fertility, can harbor small beings. If you look at the picture of J.S.’s vase, you will see the cabbage is harboring beautiful little butterflies or yellow moths, which repeat. I love how a simple vegetable can take on such dimensions, not the least of which is that the Chinese cabbage shows us the global domination of a Chinese vegetable. The cabbage’s medicinal qualities were written about as early as the 14th century and planted in places typically too cold to harbor vegetable life, and therefore “suan cai� (Chinese sauerkraut to mix heritages) became a staple. We also see the butterfly or moth, which
also repeats around the cabbage design of the vase. This is an example of the Chinese porcelain-painter’s interweaving of the name of a thing and the image of a thing. The word that sounds like butterfly also means “to repeat.� Although we usually think of a homophone as being two words that sound the same and yet are spelled differently (“knew� and “new�) in this case the Image of a butterfly conjures up the word for repeat. Why is this important? Because the butterfly is a symbol of the search for love that is found! And so, to repeat the image (and saying to yourself the word) repeats the blessings conferred by the symbol of a butterfly. Now we mix the butterfly symbolism with the cabbage symbolism, and what do we get? Cabbage is also an audio-visual homophone: the word for cabbage “bai cai� contains the word “cai,� which means wealth and money. Now who wouldn’t want to give someone a piece of art that says in symbolism. I wish you wealth and well-found love? Let us add to this that the vase also pictures birds. The bird is also multiplied symbolically because the bird represents one of the five elements of nature. Each element has a compass direction as well. The five classes of animals are scaled, naked, furry, feathered, and shelled. Birds symbolize the south direction of the compass. (You might think, there are only four compass points, and this is also true in Chinese symbolism. However, there is a middle to the compass, and that middle is occupied by the naked animal. Who is the naked animal? Why, we are. We are the only

PSSH recognizes longtime employee This month, People’s Self-Help Housing employee Juliet Mendoza is celebrating three decades of service. She currently serves as an accountant for the organization. “Juliet holds a wealth of institutional knowledge and best practices for our accounting & finance department,� said Griffin Moore, chief financial officer at PSHH, “We are so grateful for her continued dedication and leadership over the years.� Originally joining PSHH in 1991 as a secretary, Ms. Mendoza was quickly promoted to be an account clerk, an account technician, and finally her current role as an accountant. As part of the Accounting & Finance team, Ms. Mendoza helps ensure the availability of financial resources to sustain PSHH programs, services and growth. “Juliet’s dedication to the organization and our mission is evident throughout her three decades of service,� said
naked animal, us humans, and we stand at the center of the compass.) So you can see how deep the reading of a Chinese vase can be and how the connoisseur in the 19th century who ordered this to be made in China would have known every inch of the symbolism involved. He/she could read it like a book. Finally, J.S. asks about the vase’s age. It is a type of hard paste porcelain made in the early 19th century and still flourishing in the late 19th century, called Chinese export porcelain. Europeans did not know how to make porcelain until the late 18th century, and even into the 19th century, the recipe was expensive and inaccurate in Europe. So, from the port of Canton in China were sent tons of porcelain as ballast in ships to European ports, and the upper class bought the pieces hungrily. This is a type of Chinese export called Famille Verte, which is the green family, and there are also classes of rose, yellow, etc. J.S.’s vase has been repaired, which is not uncommon and actually points to the value it must have had in former eyes. The foot is unglazed as most of the real export porcelain was. (I began my career with Chinese export porcelain, and still own a piece which has been repaired with a metal staple). The value of J.S.’s vase is $800. Dr. Elizabeth Stewart’s “Ask the Gold Digger� column appears Mondays in the News-Press Life section.

Every number in the codeword grid is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;codeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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.

Brady, defense lead Bucs into NFC title game By GERRY FALL
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guys really come together. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really unique team. We have great chemistry. We have fun at practice. We worked really hard to get to this point, just like the other three teams remaining.â&#x20AC;?
NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
Buccaneers 30, Saints 20
Tom Brady wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t his usual greatness on Sunday night in a divisional playoff game in New Orleans. But he was good enough to get the Tampa Bay Buccaneers into the NFC title game next Sunday in Green Bay. Brady completed 18 of 33 passes for 199 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Bucs to a 30-20 win over the Saints. Brady is embarking on his 14th conference championship game, but first in the NFC. The other 13 were in the AFC with the New England Patriots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just so proud of everyone. The whole organization,â&#x20AC;? said Brady, acknowledging the challenges of no offseason while playing in a new offense with so many new pieces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our
Tom Brady, Buccaneers Quarterback coaches have put in so much work and effort getting us to this point, preparing us every day, and just done an amazing job. Guys really come together. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really unique team. We have great chemistry. We have fun at practice. We worked really hard to get to this point, just like the other three teams remaining.â&#x20AC;? While Brady managed the offense like the future Hall of Fame quarterback he is, the Tampa Bay defense also shined in the brightest light, intercepting Saints quarterback Drew
Brees three times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to look ourselves in the mirror and challenge ourselves on who we wanted to be,â&#x20AC;? said Bucs inside linebacker Devin White, who finished with 11 tackles (10 solo), a tackle for a loss, a QB hit, a pass breakup, a fumble recovery and an interception. Tampa Bay is trying to become the first team in NFL history to play in a Super Bowl game in its own city. The Bucs have one more giant hurdle in the form of the Green Bay Packers to make it happen.
Chiefs 22, Browns 17
After losing star quarterback Patrick Mahomes to a concussion, the Kansas City Chiefs needed backup Chad Henne to make two big plays to help run out the clock and preserve the Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fivepoint win over the Cleveland Browns in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s AFC divisional playoff game in Kansas City. Henne came through in brilliant fashion on the Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final drive as he scrambled for 13 yards on third down, and completed a short pass on a fourth-
and-1 play to allow Kansas City to indeed run out the clock and make it to its second straight AFC title game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re around him, you just know,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Chiefs coach Andy Reid said of why he trusted Henne. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody has full confidence in him. â&#x20AC;Ś I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll all remember the run, that dive, and then the throw.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mahomes suffered the concussion in the third quarter. Prior to that, he had completed 21 of 30 passes for 255 yards and a touchdown. Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield was 23 of 37 for 204 yards, a touchdown and an interception. The Chiefs will host the Buffalo Bills in next Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s AFC title game. In other NFL news, the Los Angeles Chargers hired Rams defensive coordinator Brandon Staley to be their new head coach. email: gfall@newspress.com

This may affect your property. Please read. Notice is hereby given that an application for the project described below has been submitted to the Santa Barbara County Planning and Development Department. This project requires the approval and issuance of a Coastal Development Permit by the Planning and Development Department. The development requested by this application is subject to appeal to the California Coastal Commission following final action by Santa Barbara County and therefore a public hearing on the application is normally required prior to any action to approve, conditionally approve or deny the application. However, in compliance with California Coastal Act Section 30624.9, the Director has determined that this project qualifies as minor development and therefore intends to waive the public hearing requirement unless a written request for such hearing is submitted by an interested party to the Planning and Development Department within the 15 working days following the Date of Notice listed below. All requests for a hearing must be submitted no later than 5:00 p.m. on the Request for Hearing Expiration Date listed below, to Willow Brown at Planning and Development, 123 E. Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara 93101-2058, by email at wbrown@co.santa-barbara.ca.us, or by fax at (805) 568-2030. If a public hearing is requested, notice of such a hearing will be provided. WARNING: Failure by a person to request a public hearing may result in the loss of the personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to appeal any action taken by Santa Barbara County on this Coastal Development Permit to the County Planning Commission or Board of Supervisors and ultimately the California Coastal Commission.
