Low inventory, high demand Car dealerships affected by semiconductor chip shortage

Supes to hear cannabis appeal By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

The County Board of Supervisors will hear from parties involved in an appeal of a cannabis conditional use permit during its regular meeting Tuesday. The proposed project is a request for a conditional use permit to allow a 29-acre cannabis cultivation operation on a 68acre parcel of land. The proposed project, if approved, would grow cannabis on about 29 acres, with about 22 acres under 12-foot tall hoop structures, according to a board letter from the planning and development department. All processing of cannabis grown at the site would take place Please see BOARD on A2

Toyota of Santa Barbara, located at 5611 Hollister Ave. in Goleta, has bare spots on its lot — the result of a semiconductor chip shortage and growing demand for vehicles.

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Santa Barbara is not exempt from the international car shortage, a problem caused by the lack of semiconductor chips that are integral in today’s automobiles. New vehicle inventory was down 36% in March 2021, according to Edmunds, an online automotive resource based in Santa Monica. Doug Connor, owner of Santa Barbara Nissan, describes the situation as this: “The demand is there, but the cars are not.” Because the dealership has plenty of traffic, he has been able to sell cars close to or at the manufacturer’s suggested retail price with minimal negotiation. He likes to keep his lot full of

around 150 cars, a mix of used and new. But, now, he has less than half of his usual stock. He sees the same problem in other dealerships he drives past. Local dealers, encouraged by an increase in demand, don’t talk about the situation in dire terms. It puts a stress on business, but dealerships are selling more vehicles than they did last spring. Nearly 18.4 million vehicles were sold in March, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. That volume of sales was last seen in August 2015 — the peak of a rising car market after the 2008 recession. The number of sales has been increasing since a low in April 2020, when just 9 million vehicles were sold. Prior to the pandemic, monthly sales volume averaged Please see cars on a3

Members of the Santa Barbara City Council will discuss Senate Bill 35 on Tuesday in the regular City Council meeting. SB 35 provides a streamlined, ministerial approval process for eligible multi-unit housing projects by using “objective design standards” — standards that don’t allow personal or subjective judgment by a public official. Staff chose using Spanish Colonial Revival style for the template for these standards, because: “state law allows use of a specific architectural style as long as the elements are clearly defined; it is a well-known and loved style in the city, and is one of the three required styles within the EPV Landmark District; it uses simple, climateappropriate, weather-protecting, Please see COUNCIL on A2

planning process to increase housing in compliance with state law.” In other business, the council will be recommended to pass an ordinance establishing hazard-based premium pay for grocery and drug retail workers. The ordinance was discussed during the April 20 meeting, and the council gave direction to establish 60 days of $5 per hour “hero pay” for grocery and drug retail workers in companies with 300 or more employees nationally. “At the same time, council expressed concern about minimizing the impact of the proposal on small, local employers that have not reaped the outsized profits of national chains.

inside an existing, permitted agricultural building onsite. In addition, the project would install a vapor-phase odor control system that would be installed along the north and east perimeter of the site. The County Planning Commission approved this project in January after asking the applicant to develop a more robust odor abatement plan in December. However, the Santa Barbara County Coalition for Responsible Cannabis filed an appeal shortly after the commission’s approval of the project, alleging deficiency in the odor abatement plan, inconsistencies in the project that would not align with other county plans and a lack of structure for cannabis transportation. The County’s Planning and Development Department has prepared a response to the appellants’ claims, which they will present to the Board of Supervisors during their meeting Tuesday. Officials will also hear from the applicant and the appellants during the meeting. Other items on the board’s agenda include a COVID-19 update from the county’s Public Health Department and a presentation from Community Corrections Partnership about the Safety Realignment Act Plan. The Public Safety Realignment Act was implemented in 2011 as a way to address overcrowding in California’s prisons. After the act was passed, a plan for the implementation of the legislation was brought to the Board of Supervisors for approval annually. The plan for fiscal year 202122 includes new programs and expansions, and focuses on areas like increasing supportive transitional housing, championing a neighborhood court pilot program, increasing awareness about racial and ethnic equity and inclusion and focusing on holistic defense practices. The Board of Supervisors meeting will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday and can be accessed via livestream at countyofsb. org/ceo/csbtv/livestream.sbc or on YouTube at the CSBTV20 channel.

‘The chipset shortage is wreaking havoc on new vehicle production’ cars

Continued from Page A1 about 17.5 million. Used cars are especially in demand, Greg Myers, sales manager at Santa Barbara Honda, told the News-Press. “The used cars are selling off the shelves and are depleting the inventories. In the meantime, we’re in a good position with the new cars,” he said. Kelley Blue Book, an industry standard car valuation, has bumped up the values of used cars in Santa Barbara to almost match the retail price of new cars. The average trade-in value hit an all-time high in March, according to Edmunds. Dealers paid an average of $17,080 for trade-ins, up from $14,160 in March 2020. “The chipset shortage is wreaking havoc on new vehicle production, but we’re also seeing surprisingly healthy car shopper demand, which has likely grown stronger in light of vaccines rolling out quicker than anticipated,” Jessica Caldwell, Edmunds’ executive director of insights, said in a news release. “These two factors combined are disrupting the market in a way we haven’t ever really seen before.” Trucks, sports cars and SUVs are in highest demand currently. Mr. Myers said Ridgelines, Honda’s pickup truck, has been popular — despite Honda not being known for its trucks. “We have seen, believe it or not, a lot of Ridgeline action. (Honda) made some changes to the front end of that truck, and people have been going crazy for it.” He chalks it up to new design, but trucks have been popular in general. Honda Ridgelines from the model year 2018 have retained 70% of their value upon trade-in, according to Edmunds. “Many consumers believe the old adage that you lose half the value of your vehicle when you drive off the lot, but that is simply far from the truth today. In fact, we’re seeing many vehicles hold a huge amount of value multiple years into ownership,” said Ivan Drury, Edmunds’ senior manager of insights. Heavy-duty full-size trucks with a 2018 model year are worth 77% of retail cost; 2018’s luxury sports cars retained 65% of their value, and mid-size SUVs are worth 61% of their original retail when traded in. Mr. Connor has noticed more demand for preowned cars than new inventory. “Everybody in the world seems to be trying to buy them right now,” he said. “I usually have quite a bit more inventory in used cars, and that supply is getting short.”

He expects even more demand as the weather heats up, as summertime is his busiest season. He sees his inventory “dwindling out,” making him a little nervous about summer. “I’m hoping that this whole chip shortage is short-term,” he said. Experts nationwide see the problem continuing, with projections extending into 2022. For now, the issue is not affecting demand. “In the U. S. of A., people like changing cars around a lot, and they still want to do it,” Mr. Connor said. In recent news, the semiconductor chip shortages are also affecting computer and cellphone manufacturers, including Apple. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Goleta City Council to hold hearing on private creek road By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A public hearing will be conducted on a proposed development agreement for SyWest/Goleta Gardens at the Goleta City Council meeting on Tuesday. Goleta Gardens LLC is proposing a development agreement to grant a license to the city to use a private access road to the San Jose Creek Channel along part of the subject site that’s currently operating as the Westwind Drive-In Theater and Public Market. In exchange would be an extension of the deadline to use the city’s former zoning ordinance for the applicant’s pending development proposal, from Dec. 31, 2021 to Dec. 31, 2023. If Goleta entitles the proposed development at a future public hearing, the developer would convey a permanent easement to the city for the use of the access road, and the property owner would grant a license to the city and the County Flood Control District to use an access road and area adjacent to the San Jose Creek Channel to gain access into the San Jose Creek to perform maintenance within the creek channel. “The license would provide

a benefit to the city, the surrounding neighborhood and residents, given the city’s and Flood Control District’s longstanding commitment to the enhancement and protection of San Jose Creek,” the staff report says. “The license and creation of a wider access easement would enhance the ability of the city and the other local agencies to access and manage the lower San Jose Creek Channel, which carries significant floodwaters and protects acres of surrounding property.” Staff is providing both an ordinance to enter the agreement and a resolution for denial. In other business, council members will hear a presentation on the status of the Santa Barbara Local Agency Formation Commission Municipal Service Review process, and provide direction to staff. The LAFCO is a regional agency that has authority to regulate by adopting spheres of influence for each city and special district in the county and by approving or denying city and special district boundary changes (annexations and detachments) and extensions of certain public services. The agency asked the cities and special districts in Santa Barbara County to complete Municipal

Service Reviews surveys. “The completed MSR survey and questionnaire, as completed by city staff, assume the status quo SOI for the City of Goleta, which aligns with the city limits, and do not propose other changes to district and/or service boundaries,” the staff report says. The council will also hear a presentation on the status of the Goleta Water District Draft Urban Water Management Plan for council feedback. A public hearing on the plan is also scheduled for May 11. Updates include: discussing the 2012 to 2016 drought; updating annual supply and demand assessment procedures to match state requirements; updating the impact of the drought on district finances, taking 2020 into account; and updating the plan implementation to comply with state requirements. “The updates do not change the GWD water shortage stages or the way the GWD responds to droughts and/or water shortages,” the staff report says.

Los Padres officials to host public workshop Los Padres National Forest officials will host a public workshop to discuss and develop options as part of a proposed Rose Valley Creek watershed restoration project. The goal of this workshop is to engage with interested members of the public and identify potential concerns that need to be considered ahead of the planning and design of any potential restoration activities. The purpose of the Rose Valley

Creek watershed restoration project is to remove non-native invasive species and improve habitat for native species within the watershed. The construction of the Rose Valley Lakes by the U.S. Navy in the 1950s altered the landscape, creating conditions where nonnative fish species eventually outcompeted native fish such as trout and southern Steelhead in the Rose Valley Creek. The aim of the project is to restore the Rose Valley Creek channel, floodplain, and riparian vegetation to pre-1950s conditions while providing a sustainable level of public access and recreational use, according to a news release.

The new design has slides and a swing set in vibrant colors. It also includes a field and fitness course, reservable for family activities and exercise. — Annelise Hanshaw

Los Padres National Forest specialists will host an informational virtual public workshop to describe the proposed restoration and solicit input from 4 to 5 pm May 13. The meeting will include a brief presentation followed by a period for public questions and comments. The public can access the workshop by visiting https:// tinyurl.com/stjx9s99.

This week, the Gold Digger reviewed two volumes of the “History of the Crusades Illustrated in One Hundred Grand Compositions by Gustave Dore,” written by Joseph François Michaud, and published by George Barrie, Philadelphia, in 1890. She says the real story is why the history of the Crusades as Michaud told it was revived firstly, in Paris, in an edition illustrated by Dore in 1875, and then in Philadelphia in 1890.

How the First Great Crusade began

ere’s how the First Great Crusade began in the early years of 1000 C E: with a Bull from the Pope, quoted here: “I, or rather the Lord, beseech you as Christ’s heralds to publish this everywhere and to all people of whatever rank, foot-soldiers and knights, poor and rich, to carry aid promptly to those Christians and to destroy that vile race from the lands of our friends. I say this to those who are present, it is meant also for those who are absent. Moreover, Christ commands it.” So wrote Pope Urban II in 1095. The medieval Crusades that followed the orders of the Pope were a polarizing event in history still not understood by the “modern” world, but has been made into a great myth, and the revitalization of this great story through the ages, its retelling solidifies the power of the Crusades in historical mythical memory. E. sends me two huge old books: two volumes of the “History of the Crusades Illustrated in One Hundred Grand Compositions by Gustave Dore,” written by Joseph François Michaud, and published by George Barrie, Philadelphia, in 1890. Michaud WROTE the book in 1811 in Paris. The value of the two volumes is one thing ($1,000), but the real story is WHY the history of the Crusades as Michaud told it was revived firstly, in Paris, in an edition illustrated by Dore in 1875,

and then in Philadelphia in 1890. Often books are reprinted at a certain time because the climate of the time is resonant with the book. This is the case with E.’s History of the Crusades. What happened in the First Crusade? The Franks (the French) took Jerusalem by storm on July 15, 1095, and massacred most of the population that had been Muslim, Jewish, and Christian since 634 CE. The French Crusaders had been on the warpath for almost three years at that time to no avail, but the defeat of Jerusalem established an alien colony for them. The Franks took territory from the Turks, too. Was this the world’s first example of colonialism, or the exercise of medieval beliefs of recapturing of a mythical land for a “superior” power under God? Why was Michaud writing this book about this mythical Crusade in 1811? He was a Royalist, supporting the Bourbons during the French revolution, having edited pro-crown journals for which he was arrested and sentenced to death by the French Military Council; after a prison stay, he shied away from journalism, and began his History of the Crusades. Under a Pope and a King, the Franks had prevailed

THEN in the 11th century. Michaud was fascinated by this period of the medieval Crusades, wrote upon it extensively, argued about its importance with intellectuals of the time, and journeyed to Syria and Egypt 1830-1831 to research for a further book on the Crusades; he died in 1832. The book was reprinted, lavishly illustrated, in Paris in 1875. Why 1875? France needed a memory of its noble past under King and Pope, having trudged through the Franco-Prussian War 1870-1871, the fall of Napoleon III in 1870, after which France was rebuilt by the government of the Third Republic. Colonialism was a RIGHT: France had taken territory in Indochina, Madagascar, Polynesia, and West Africa. And the Prussians had taken the French Territories of Alsace and Lorraine in reparation from the Franco-Prussian War. Conquest all around ... And of course, the reprinting of the book in Philadelphia of 1890 was significant, as the US saw itself as the next great superpower, with might and right on its side. And so did the American ultra-rich and ultra conservative industrialists. Thus, the themes Michaud had

written about, which supported his beliefs in the glories of the Crusades, The History of the Crusades in 1811 re-echoed significant themes in its republication in France of 1875 and America in 1890 when it was revived. These themes are the monarchy vs. republic, religious right vs the OTHER, the Holy Army, the conquest of territory in the name of ‘superior power,’ echoed in the revitalization of this one book. And history repeats itself, thematically, as well as literally. E. asks what makes an old book valuable. I am not an expert, but I can identify some factors: a tight binding, unmarked pages, bright engravings, tissue over the engravings, very little foxing caused by damp and acid burn, marbled end pages, gilt titles and raised bands on a leather spine. Those are the material aspects; there’s the symbolic aspect as well! Dr. Elizabeth Stewart’s “Ask the Gold Digger” column appears Mondays in the News-Press Life section. Written after her father’s COVID-19 diagnosis, Dr. Stewart’s book “My Darlin’ Quarantine: Intimate Connections Created in Chaos” is a humorous collection of five “what-if” short stories that end in personal triumphs over presentday constrictions. It’s available at Chaucer’s in Santa Barbara.

Renowned pianist Awadagin Pratt will join the symphony for its final performance of the season on May 15 and May 16.

SANTA BARBARA — The Santa Barbara Symphony will present its season finale performance, “Triumph,” for virtual audiences at 7 p.m. May 15 and 3 p.m. May 16. Performers will gather live on stage for the concert at the Granada Theatre with no inperson audience. Renowned pianist Awadagin Pratt will join the symphony for its final show of the season, performing Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 12 in A Major. The concert will also feature a performance of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92 and Benjamin Britten’s Fanfare for St. Edmundsbury. In addition, 13-year-old Joseph Malvinni will join the symphony

for a movement of Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s Concerto for Guitar in D major. Joseph was one of the four winners of the 2021 Santa Barbara Youth Symphony Concert Competition. In anticipation of the final concert, Symphony Music and Artist Director Nir Kabaretti praised the symphony for finding creative ways to continue making music even during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Without missing a beat the Santa Barbara Symphony continued to bring hope and connection to the community through symphonic music in incredible new ways we never could have imagined before,” Mr. Kabaretti said

in a statement. “This season has required so much more of everyone in our Symphony family - from our musicians, to our incredible staff, and the technical team that all have had to think outside the box to help us realize our vision. We’re proud to bring our audiences a big, triumphant, finale — with both memories of what we all shared together this season virtually and excitement about coming together in person next season.” Virtual tickets for the live broadcast and on-demand viewing can be purchased at thesymphony.org/concertsevents/subscriptions-tickets/. — Madison Hirneisen

Good news! The planet of communication is entering your communication zone, Aries. It’s a great time to make your efforts known at work or home. When Venus and Pluto make a trine, you might see a promotion.

Taurus Keep your mind on your money. This week, the communication planet moves into your sector of value—so you’re finding ways to get quick wins with cash. But over the weekend, anxiety around money could arise, seeing as Venus moves into an intimate part of your chart.

Gemini It’s your time to shine. All the planets seem to be congregating in your sign—making you feel empowered, witty, and selfconfident. Use this week, as Venus makes a trine to Pluto, to overcome a past romantic trigger.

Cancer Being a Cancer means that you’re not naturally the first person to speak up. And thank goodness for that, since Mercury enters Gemini in your privacy zone. Secrets could be revealed (or shared at the wrong time), so it’s best to. Keep your mouth shut!

Leo Your friendship zone is getting lit up with Venus moving into Gemini. This is the best time for social events and gatherings, Leo. Venus makes a trine with Pluto later in the week—and your focus turns to work.

Virgo Mercury is moving into your career zone, giving you some major cred in the networking world—especially since Mercury is Virgo’s ruling planet! Use this time to climb the social ladder and make your way up in the ranks.

Libra The planet of communication

is encouraging you to branch out and learn something new, Libra. This is a time to deep-dive into that thirst for knowledge. Over the weekend, financial strains could occur—but your family is there to help.

Scorpio Mercury is moving into your intimacy zone. So, when it comes to talking about your feelings? This is the time, Scorpio. You’re not one to divulge what’s happening in your heart. But this transit makes it so easy you hardly think about it.

Sagittarius Mercury is making your relationships wittier, Sagittarius. So, flirt, banter, and chat away! Besides, your self-esteem is bound to be through the roof over the weekend, when Venus and Pluto makes a trine in your productivity sector.

Capricorn Gemini energy is hovering over your routine and romance zones this week, Capricorn. You know what that means? Spend the first half of the week tackling anything that comes your way via straightforward communication. Spend the latter half on a wonderful date with your loved one.

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

In one of the first studies of its kind, medical and engineering researchers have shown wearable devices that continuously monitor blood sugar provide new insights into the progression of Type 2 diabetes among at-risk Hispanic/ Latino adults. The findings by researchers from Sansum Diabetes Research Institute and Rice University are available online this week in EClinicalMedicine, an openaccess clinical journal published by The Lancet. “The fresh look at the glucose data sheds new light on disease progression, which could have a direct impact on better management,” said Dr. Ashutosh Sabharwal, Rice study co-author and professor and department chair in electrical and computer engineering and founder of Rice’s Scalable Health Labs. “An important aspect of our analysis is that the results are clinically interpretable and point to new directions for improved Type 2 diabetes care.” The study builds on SDRI’s groundbreaking research to address Type 2 diabetes in underserved Hispanic/Latino communities. SDRI’s Farming for Life initiative assesses the physical and mental health benefits of providing medical prescriptions for locally sourced fresh vegetables to people with or at risk of Type 2 diabetes, with a focus on the Hispanic/Latino community. SDRI recently added a digital health technology called continuous glucose monitoring to this research. Continuous glucose monitors track blood sugar levels aroundthe-clock and allow trends in blood glucose to be displayed and analyzed over time. The devices typically consist of two parts: a small electrode sensor affixed to the skin with an adhesive patch and a receiver

Clark Bushnell, a long-time People’s Self-Help Housing resident, marked his 101st birthday this week with a very special celebration.

Clark Bushnell celebrates 101st birthday By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Among the numerous unique items at Mate Gallery are a Braille issue of Playboy, a washed red cap with a California Bear, seersucker napkins in 10 different colors, a small pillow with a Nantucket print and a nautical signal flag apron.

Clark Bushnell, a long-time People’s Self-Help Housing resident, marked his 101st birthday last week with a very special celebration. Mr. Bushnell was presented with festive balloons, a chocolate cake and gift certificates to all his favorite local eateries. The afternoon event was hosted in Santa Maria and was attended by Ken Trigueiro, PSHH CEO and president, and other key staff. “Clark emits a great energy and enthusiasm,” said Dr. Betty Purify, PSHH social worker. “He is beloved among his neighbors, and we are pleased to have been able to celebrate this wonderful milestone.” Originally hailing from Iowa, Mr. Bushnell served in the U.S. Navy, and after his wartime service, he settled down in California and became a skilled professional in various construction trades. He spent many years as a contractor,

building apartment complexes. In the early 2000s, Mr. Bushnell moved into a PSHH residence, where he has lived ever since. “I couldn’t be happier to live here, and I hope I can live with People’s Self-Help Housing for many more years to come,” he said during his birthday celebration. Among other populations, PSHH provides affordable housing for seniors and individuals living with disabilities. The properties provide a comfortable and friendly atmosphere for residents to thrive. Amenities include accessible laundry facilities, a TV lounge, community center and onsite compassionate supportive housing services. email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

that gathers data from the sensor. “We found that the use of this technology is both feasible and acceptable for this population, predominantly Mexican American adults,” said Dr. David Kerr, SDRI’s director of research and innovation and study co-author. “The results also provided new insights into measurable differences in the glucose profiles for individuals at risk of as well as with noninsulintreated Type 2 diabetes. These findings could facilitate novel therapeutic approaches to reduce the risk of progression of Type 2 diabetes for this underserved population.” Dr. Sabharwal, who is also a co-investigator of the Precise Advanced Technologies and Health Systems for Underserved Populations engineering research center, said, “The collaboration with SDRI aligns with our mission to use technology as an important building block to reduce health care disparities.” “We are excited about the application of digital health technologies for underserved populations as a way to eliminate health disparities and improve health equity,” Dr. Kerr said. “This opens up potential for a larger number of collaborations to support SDRI’s evolving focus on precision nutrition and also the expanded use of digital health technologies for both the prevention and management of all forms of diabetes.” Dr. Sabharwal is the Ernest Dell Butcher Professor of Engineering in Rice’s Brown School of Engineering.
