City attorney drafts demand letter to SCE

Vaccine mandate put on hold Court temporarily halts federal vaccine rule for larger businesses By DAN MCCALEB THE CENTER SQUARE EXECUTIVE EDITOR

SB City Council to receive update on Community Choice Energy program

(The Center Square) — The Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Saturday temporarily halted the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate on private sector businesses with 100 employers or more, citing “grave” constitutional issues. Ruling on lawsuits filed by Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi, as well as a Louisiana businessman seeking to prevent the mandate from

taking effect, the appeals court issued a stay over constitutional questions. “Because the petitions give cause to believe there are grave statutory and constitutional issues with the Mandate, the Mandate is hereby stayed pending further action by the court,” the ruling reads. The Biden administration rule would require vaccines by Jan. 4 for businesses with 100 or more employees. email: dmccaleb@ thecentersquare.com

Board of Supervisors to consider Main Jail renovations By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors will consider options for the renovation of the Santa Barbara County Main Jail, ranging in cost from $24.2 million to $67.1 million, during its meeting Tuesday. Disability Rights California filed a classaction lawsuit after seeing the conditions at the jail and settled in 2020. The scope of the work exceeds the settlement requirements, the board letter says. The jail complex, which was built in sections between 1960 and the early nineties, needs a large number of emergency repairs annually. Renovations would include deferred capital work estimated at more than $14 million. Option one proposes an additional $6.16 million for improvements to programming space, mental health area and cell improvements. This option would take about four years to complete and would be paid through the general fund.

The Sheriff’s Office is seeing a declining jail population it attributes to diversion efforts. Additionally, a North County jail branch is scheduled to open by the end of the year. Staff wouldn’t renovate portions it believes will be unused because of these changes, but Sheriff Bill Brown does not want to reduce the number of beds available. Additional options consider a shifting inmate population. Option two is the same as above but adds a broader assessment of long-term needs at the Main Jail. This option, recommended by County staff, is estimated at $24.9 million. Option three shifts the county’s inmate population to North County with the construction of a Sheriff’s Treatment and ReEntry facility at the Northern Branch Jail. The Main Jail’s deferred maintenance would be scaled down for a smaller size, and some portions of the jail would close. Option three is the most expensive, at $67.1 million. Option four involves shutting down portions of the Main Jail and building a new facility in their place. The pre-existing buildings would

By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER

(The Center Square) — California officials have launched a robust COVID-19 vaccine program to inoculate newly eligible 5-to-11-yearold residents with the PfizerBioNTech vaccine. The state announced last week that the federal government had allocated 1.2 million pediatric doses to be dispersed in California. More than 4,000 locations are prepared to vaccinate kids ages 5-11 as supply ramps up. In addition to medical providers, local health departments and schools, the state has partnered with afterschool programs, such as the Sierra Health Foundation and the Alliance for Boys & Girls, to set up 84 pop-up clinics statewide. “Vaccines are how we end this pandemic, and they’re how we keep our kids safe — it’s time to get our children the protection they need from this deadly virus, especially as we head into the winter season,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement. “California is leading the nation in vaccinations with 54 million administered and 87% of the

eligible population with at least one dose, and we’re moving swiftly to implement a robust and equitable vaccination program that will cover this newly eligible age group.” The state’s vaccine allocation came just days after the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention approved the use of a pediatric dose of the Pfizer vaccine among children ages 511 Tuesday, determining that the reduced-dose shot is safe and effective for use among this age group. According to the governor’s office, 3,100 school-located clinics are already established, with an additional 800 planned for November and December. The state estimates that these clinics will cover more than 2.4 million students. Madison Hirneisen covers California for The Center Square.

Westmont clinches national tournament berth By JACOB NORLING WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

ROCKLIN — The Westmont volleyball team (20-9, 14-3 GSAC) clinched their sixth consecutive trip to the NAIA National Tournament on Saturday, after defeating William Jessup (11-12, 10-6) in four sets. Technically, due to tiebreaker scenarios, as soon as the Warriors won their second set of the match they clinched their spot in the tournament. However, winning the match after the fourth set allowed the club to truly celebrate the way it wanted to. “We knew securing at least a fifth set meant we had it,” said Westmont head coach Ruth McGolpin, “but finishing it off with a win is definitely how you envision it. We are super stoked to be back in the tournament.” In the first set, Westmont jumped out

to a 5-1 advantage that stretched out to an 11-5 advantage before Jessup called their first timeout. The stoppage in play did little to slow down the road-Warriors however, who ran away with the first set by a score of 25-12. “It was their senior night, so with that comes nerves, naturally. We had a feeling and a hope that we could get them on their heels quickly, and our serving was key in letting us do just that. They made some uncharacteristic mistakes, but really it was because we served the heck out of the ball. “They were discombobulated and it threw them out of sync early, allowing us to make the first game pretty short.” Westmont recorded five service aces in set one, including a pair each from Sydny Dunn and Lilian Reininga. In the second set, Westmont led 17-11 and looked to be on their way to clinching early, but a furious rally from Jessup tied

the game at 18. Then, with the game tied at 20, Jessup closed out the set on a 5-1 run to even the match. In the third set, the sides remained deadlocked through an 8-8 tie, before a kill from Addie Paul sparked a 5-1 rally that saw Westmont begin to pull away with a 13-9 advantage. Jessup immediately responded and tied the game at 14, but the Warriors answered with a swing of their own led by Audrey Brown and Jessie Terlizzi to reclaim a 1915 advantage. Jessup never again tied the game, and the road-Warriors won game three 2523 to take a 2-1 set advantage, and more importantly, secure their spot in the National Tournament. “We were able to exhale a little bit going into set four,” admitted McGolpin. “In that third set we tried something different with our blocking scheme and it worked wonders. It was something we hadn’t

practiced and it was really effective immediately. I thought the team showed great mental strength to be able to adjust like that on the fly and find success so quickly.” In the fourth set, Westmont initially trailed 10-8 before kills from Patty Kerman and Lexi Malone bookended a four-point swing that allowed the club to jump on top 12-10. Jessup tied the game up once more at 13 all, but Westmont never again trailed as they ultimately fended off the home-Warriors by a score of 25-21 to secure a match victory. “At the end of the day it was our serving that allowed us to win that match,” assured McGolpin. “When we serve and block well, we look like the team I think we are capable of being.” Terlizzi led the club with 10 kills, while Kerman added nine, and Malone added eight. Kaili Hashimoto ended up collecting three service aces, as did

Reininga, who also collected nine digs. Defensively, Keelyn Kistner led the club with 17 digs, while Sara Krueger and Terlizzi each recorded three blocks. Dunn and Kistner tallied 22 and 18 assists each. Westmont will have one more tune-up before the National Tournament when they travel to Santa Clarita to take on The Master’s in their final GSAC contest a week from today. “Obviously they’re a big rival, and with their senior night on top of that, we’re expecting a big crowd,” said McGolpin. “Our expectation is that we’re going into a super rowdy gym and it’ll be a good opportunity for us to play in a hostile environment.” Jacob Norling is the sports information assistant at Westmont College. email: dmason@newspress.com

Santa Barbara City College beats Moorpark 27-24 in football By MICHAEL JORGENSON SBCC SPORTS WRITER

Facing Moorpark in its last regular season road game of 2021, the SBCC football team put together two go-ahead drives in the fourth quarter to defeat the Raiders 27-24 on Saturday. Quarterback Alex Johnson threw for more than 200 yards for the third straight start, totaling 253 on 16-of-36 with two touchdowns and one interception. He connected with receiver Marcus Bellon for a 26-yard score to open the fourth before contributing to 48 yards on the game-winning drive to set up kicker Jorge Figueroa from 29 yards out. It was the second winning kick of the year for Figueroa, sending the Vaqueros to 5-3 overall and 22 in the American Pacific League. Moorpark falls to 3-5 overall and 2-1 in league play. “The best thing about it was that it was a three-way win – offense, defense and kicking game,” head coach Craig Moropolous said. “Jerry Martin ran the ball really well tonight for us. Chase Wells at the wide receiver position had some huge catches, and (there was) Zach Schipper with some

really good play up front in the defensive line. Just a lot of guys making plays. It was a great team win, and that’s the kind of thing you like as a coach.” Trailing by three with 1:46 remaining in the fourth, the Raiders started their final possession at their own 29. On a 4th-and-1 near midfield, quarterback Trae Johnson’s final throw of the day was picked off by linebacker Zach Schipper, sealing the Vaquero victory. Schipper also led SBCC with two tackles for a loss. “We came out, scored 14 points and then kind of slowed it down, and in that second half kind of rose up when we needed to. We did some really good things defensively and made some big plays,” Moropolous said. “We got points on the board when we really needed to, got a big field goal and then were able to knock a lot of time off the clock in the fourth quarter which was really good.” The Vaqueros jumped out to an early two-score advantage with touchdowns in quick succession. They went 79 yards on 11 plays on their opening drive, capped by a 5-yard run from Mekhi Norfleet to make it 7-0.

Defensive back Nico Mattera intercepted Moorpark quarterback Trae Johnson on the first play of the Raiders’ next drive, starting the Vaqueros at the opposing 32. After a few good runs from Omari Taylor, Alex Johnson found receiver Chase Wells for a 13-yard score to double the lead. The fast start came to a halt as the Raiders scored the next 17 points, taking their first lead less than two minutes into the second half. The Vaqueros later tied things at 17-17 on a Figueroa field goal midway through the third. With 13:54 left in the game, Santa Barbara took over at the Raiders’ 26-yard line. That’s when Alex Johnson found Bellon for his 26-yard touchdown to put the Vaqueros up 24-17, but Moorpark’s Daniel Pierce took the ensuing kickoff back 77 yards to the house to quickly tie things back up. Santa Barbara held the ball for more than 11 minutes in the fourth quarter. Figueroa’s second kick capped a 12-play, 50-yard drive leaving 8:39 on the clock. The Vaqueros took off another 5:00 of game time with their next 10-play drive, which included a big 13-yard conversion from Johnson to Wells on third-and-10. “With Alex, it’s just the

maturation. He made a mistake tonight, threw a ball as he got hit that was intercepted, but he didn’t let it get him down,” said Moropolous. “But he came back and threw a dime on a route to get a touchdown. When you don’t get down about something, you don’t dwell on a mistake, you just move on, it’s just things like that. He’s doing a really good job of running the offense and we’re just really proud of him.” Jerry Martin carried 13 times to lead all players with 85 rushing yards – 21 more than Moorpark’s entire team. Fellow runningback Mekhi Norfleet finished with 78 yards from scrimmage. He reached the end zone for the fourth time this year, which ties Bellon for the team-lead. Bellon finished with 61 all-purpose yards. Chase Wells was Alex Johnson’s favorite target on the outside, continuing his momentum from last Saturday’s game at Antelope Valley. He caught seven balls for the second straight week and set a new season-best with 97 receiving yards. Figueroa had another perfect day going 2-for-2 on field goals and 3-for-3 on extra points. The Las Cruces, N.M., athlete is now 10-of-

12 on field goals this season. It’s the first time the Vaqueros have made 10 field goals since they went 10-for-11 in 2014. It’s also double their total of five makes from their most recent season in 2019. “In my time here, we’ve had some good special teams, and the kicker is a tough job,” Moropolous said. “Jorge has done a great job this year. He’s becoming very reliable, someone that I have a lot of confidence in, and he got it

done again tonight.” SBCC will be back playing at La Playa Stadium on each of the next two Saturdays, starting with a 1 p.m. meeting this week against Santa Monica. The Vaqueros’ game against Orange Coast — originally scheduled for Sept. 18 — has been rescheduled for Nov. 20.

The Vaqueros battled hard on day two of the SBCC MTXE Tournament, but a second half surge from Butte College saw the visitors pull away to win it 49-27 Saturday. The Santa Barbara City College women’s basketball team (1-2) was led on offense by guard Katrina Regalado, who went for 12 points to go along with three rebounds and a pair of steals. She is the only Vaquero to score in doublefigures in every game this season. “Tonight was a defensive game. We could not find the rim tonight, but every step of the way we played hard and that is very important,” head coach Sandrine Krul said. “This is a great learning experience to play against a high quality, high caliber Butte team.” Good pressure from both defenses resulted in a struggle to score throughout the first two quarters. The Vaqueros went into the break trailing 16-10, following a first half in which Butte (1-1) hit the only three for either team. Guard Isabella Jensen Williams found her shooting touch early in the third, knocking down SBCC’s first triple of the night to make it 18-13 in favor of the Roadrunners. However, that’s when the Butte offense finally hit its stride. Roadrunner guard Lena Fogle answered back

with a three-pointer several possessions later to start a 15-0 Butte run, giving the visitors a commanding 33-13 advantage. Fogle finished with 17 points while her teammate Meghan Weinrich led all players with 20 points and 5 steals. SBCC would cut into the lead on back-to-back plays, with Regalado first converting a traditional three-point play and Jensen Williams hitting her second three of the quarter to make it 33-19. Unfortunately for the Vaqueros, the Roadrunners answered with another big run to put the game to bed. Jensen Williams ended up with nine points and four rebounds. She also tallied a team-high two steals as did Regalado and forward Sela Dowell. Forward Trinity Scott led the Vaqueros with seven rebounds. Off the bench, guards Berlin Faiaipau and Julia De La Cruz scored four and two points, respectively. “Butte won the game in the third by hitting shots, but the rest of the game, we were pretty much even,” Krul said. “Losing a game is never fatal and thank goodness we get to come back and compete tomorrow in less than 24 hours.” Michael Jorgenson works in media relations/ communications at Santa Barbara City College. email: dmason@newspress.com

The Cal Poly Mustangs got their revenge on the UCSB women’s volleyball team Saturday night, defeating the Gauchos 3-1 in the Thunderdome. It is the first home loss of conference play for UCSB. UCSB hit a season low .097 in this back-and-forth match that saw 34 ties and 11 lead changes in total. Michelle Ohwobete led the way with 13 kills and was perfect on all 25 serve receptions. Macall Peed had a match-high 21 digs. Both teams had double-digit blocks with Cal Poly notching 15 to UCSB’s 11. UCSB won the first set 25-22. The Gauchos opened up the match on a 6-1 run, but Cal Poly quickly evened things at 7-7 with a run of its own. The Gauchos gave themselves a bit of breathing room down the stretch and finished out the set on a 3-0 run and back-to-back aces by Rowan Ennis. UCSB was able to win the set despite being outhit .310 to .273. Cal Poly won the second set 25-20. The second frame had a similar start, with the Gauchos jumping ahead, but the Mustangs quickly flipped the script and tied it at 16 apiece. From there Cal Poly finished the set on a 9-4 run to tie the match. Cal Poly took the third set 25-16. UCSB never led in the third set as Cal Poly held the host team to a 0.54, committing nine errors and just seven kills.

San Francisco could require proof of vaccination for children By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER

(The Center Square) – Children ages 5 to 11 residing in San Francisco could be required to show proof of vaccination to enter indoor spaces like restaurants and sports venues roughly two months from now, San Francisco Health Officer Dr. Susan Philip said last week. The health officer spoke of the pending requirement during a virtual town hall Tuesday evening, just hours after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention approved use of the PfizerBioNTech pediatric vaccine for kids ages 5 to 11. The requirement would mark one of the strictest in the nation for young children and would fall in line with the city’s requirements for adults. Since the end of August, eligible residents 12 and older in San Francisco have been required to show proof of full vaccination to enter some indoor places, such as bars, restaurants, clubs, gyms, large indoor events, and any business or event that serves food or drinks indoors. “We definitely want to wait and make sure that children have an opportunity to get vaccinated, so (the requirement) will happen no sooner than about eight weeks after the vaccine is available to kids,” Dr. Philip said last week. “So there will be a limited time in which there will not be those requirements, (which is) our plan, but then at some point, 5-11 year olds will also have to show proof of vaccination to access some of those same settings (as adults).” Currently 84% of San Francisco’s eligible 12 and older population is fully vaccinated, and the rate is even higher among 12-17 year olds — breaching 90%, according to the latest data. Dr. Philip acknowledged that the highest percentage of cases have occurred among San Francisco adults throughout the pandemic and noted that cases among children occur at a much lower rate. The requirement for children ages 5 to 11 to be vaccinated will not apply in schools just yet, as Gov. Gavin Newsom announced in October that students will only be required to get the COVID-19 vaccine once it receives full FDA approval. At this time, health officials estimate that kids in grades 7 to 12 could be required to be fully vaccinated by July 1 if full FDA approval is issued. Some administrators at San Francisco Unified School District are encouraging parents to be ahead of the curve by getting students vaccinated before the state’s requirement kicks in. “I encourage every parent and guardian to get their child vaccinated as soon as possible … When preventative measures are appropriately taken, schools are low-risk and safe environments for students to learn, play and thrive,” SFUSD Superintendent Dr. Vincent Matthews said in a statement Tuesday. Under current SFUSD policy, students who are fully vaccinated are not required to be quarantined if they are in close contact with someone who tests positive for COVID19.

GOP: New Jersey gubernatorial race isn’t over Republicans are urging all ballots to be counted before saying the election is settled.

By T.A. DEFEO THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

TRAFFIC, CRIME AND FIRE BLOTTER

(The Center Square) — New Jersey Republicans contend the 2021 gubernatorial election is not over. The Associated Press called the race for incumbent Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat, over Republican challenger and former Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli. But Republicans are urging all ballots to be counted before saying the election is settled. A spokesperson for Mr. Ciattarelli did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Center Square. While Republicans say the governor’s race is not yet settled, they claimed victory in other races. Republicans say they are poised to pick up at least six seats in the state legislature. “Voters rejected the sharp left turn taken by New Jersey Democrats and Phil Murphy over the last four years,” Assemblyman Ned Thomson, RMonmouth, said in a statement. “They don’t want politicians who dictate curriculum from their

political perch. They don’t want a state government that can’t deliver on basic services while continually raising taxes and increasing spending. They want freedom, and we are here to give it to them.” In perhaps the most surprising race, a political newcomer, Republican Edward Durr, defeated Senate President Steve Sweeney, D-Gloucester. “Ed Durr has shocked New Jersey and the country in this week’s latest political upset. His election is both a referendum on Biden and Murphy’s extreme agenda and a stamp of approval on Republicans’ commonsense, winning policies,” Republican National Committee spokesperson Rachel Lee said in a statement.

Continued from Page A1 letter contained the phone number for SCE’s call center, which was not aware of the service. One customer was allegedly instructed to call City Hall to opt out of SBCE. A draft of Mr. Calonne’s letter says SCE’s actions may violate the California Public Utilities Commission Code of Conduct. The community program, not the utility company, has the exclusive right to contact customers and communicate opt-out procedures, it says. In late August, SBCE met via teleconference with SCE with a list of corrective demands, but SCE wouldn’t commit to a plan during the meeting. SBCE utilized an attorney retained by the California Choice Energy Authority to communicate with SCE and learned of two additional letters that mischaracterized SBCE. Mr. Calonne is demanding commercial customers do not receive these confusing letters in phase two of SBCE’s rollout. Despite this challenge, the program’s participation rate tops 97%, beating estimates. At its 12:30 p.m. meeting

Tuesday, the Santa Barbara City Council’s finance committee will consider issuing a $1.5 million loan to fund additional expenses anticipated in the Vera Cruz Village affordable housing development — a Housing Authority project that will house formerly homeless people in 28 studio apartments. The city previously provided a $2 million loan, and the Housing Authority secured $9.2 in lowincome housing tax credits and a $5.2 million conventional loan. Expenses have increased since the beginning of the year, so the Housing Authority is requesting an additional loan to start development. The apartments will be located at 110-116 E. Cota Street, an empty city parking lot once used for buses, next to F45 Training and Dune Coffee Roasters. The Housing Authority’s executive director and CEO Rob Fredericks suggested the additional funding during the Oct. 19 City Council meeting as the council discussed the safe shelter program and low stock of lowincome housing. The council directed city staff to evaluate Vera Cruz Village funding and approved the spending from reserves in the city’s affordable housing fund. Eric Friedman, chair of the

Finance Committee, warned members of the City Council that the budget was constrained during the Oct. 19 meeting, as the council dipped into the general fund to extend the safe shelter program. “We have a lot on our plate already,” he said. “It’s going to require fiscal discipline from everybody on council regarding a lot of other items that are not on tonight’s agenda.” The Housing Authority originally anticipated construction on the Vera Cruz Village project to begin this fall. It will take a year to 14 months to complete. There will also be a onebedroom manager apartment on site. The manager will oversee the apartment complex, which will have wraparound services including case management. City Council meetings are available online at santabarbaraca.gov/cap.

Cinematic roller coasters From ‘Eternals’ to ‘Ghostbusters’ and ‘West Side Story,’ a lot is happening on the big screen By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

all feels a lot like summer when it comes to movies. During more normal times, big comic book and sci-fi thrillers would land in theaters during the summer, but the pandemic has thrown off cinematic schedules. The good news for fans is that big-screen excitement is continuing until the end of the year, as demonstrated during this weekend with Angelina Jolie starring in Marvel Studios’ “Eternals.” The movie is set after “Avengers: Endgame,” and there will be no plot spoilers. There’ll be more Marvel fun when “Spider-Man: No Way Home” brings back Alfred Molina, who played Doctor Octopus in “Spider-Man II” (2004) starring Tobey Maguire, as the same villain. Another big name in the film is Benedict Cumberbatch, whose Doctor Strange is helping Spider-Man (Tom Holland), maybe a little more than he should. The trailers make it clear that chaos will prevail, and it looks like it will be a fun ride. Also coming up is “Ghostbusters: Afterlife,” set

in the original “Ghostbusters” universe, sort of a “Ghostbusters: The Next Generation.” Another sci-fi franchise is back as well. Keanu Reeves stars in “The Matrix Resurrections.” There are surprises too. This writer never thought anyone would try to remake “West Side Story,” the 1961 masterpiece from directors Jerome Robbins and Robert Wise. You’d have to be someone on the caliber of, say, Steven Spielberg to try something like that. Well, Mr. Spielberg has done just that. He directed the new version, which features Rita Moreno from the 1961 film and a new cast in the roles that Ms. Moreno, Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer and Russ Tamblyn made immortal in the 1961 film. Now, it’s Ansel Elgort, Rachel Zegler, Ariana DeBose and David Alvarez in those roles in this adaptation of the Broadway musical, inspired by Shakespeare’s “Romeo & Juliet.” Once again, it’s the story of forbidden love between two rival New York City gangs, the Jets and the Sharks, instead of Shakespeare’s Montagues and Capulets. By the way, the remake is scheduled to be in theaters Dec. Please see MOVIES on B4

F. collects unique pieces of South American silver. Here we see a pair of ceremonial ladies silver stirrups, very tiny, and a solid sterling cuff bracelet at 4.5 inches tall. Let’s start with the cuff, which is a “storytelling” bracelet, popular in the 1940s and often telling tales of the indigenous past, relating to ancient history of civilizations like the Inca, Maya and also stories of 19th-century colonial presence in South and Central America. These were mainly tourist collected pieces, not made by particular jewelers, but oftentimes made of solid sterling. A lesser quality metal was also used, with not as much silver content. The best of these are “statement” pieces, not wearable daily! This piece is likely Peruvian, and the visual language, because it tells a story, leads from left to right. On the left foreground is a streetlamp, ornately hanging from a bracket, under which a man

drives a horse-drawn buggy. The horse is a trained Prancer (the front leg is raised gracefully). A woman in a 19th-century South American full-length flounced skirt, accented by an indigenous apron, stands in the center, shrouded by a Spanish style shawl covering head and shoulders. The courtyard beneath is paved, adding to the perspective of the engraved and repousse design. She is standing upon the forecourt of a Spanish Colonial church. In the background we see the church with its two bell towers (campanarios), and a cross marking the ornate entry doors, the tall sanctuary is flanked by the lower roofed nave structure that finishes the composition, and the tale the piece is telling. What story IS this piece telling? Colonialism, for one (although there may be a romance involved between the horseman and the lady): the Spanish Government in the 18th and 19th centuries established missions located adjacent to establish indigenous settlements to supply the church, the “Spiritual Center” of the mission, with labor and maintenance power, while at the same time “converting” the locals to Christianity. The church we see is in the style we know here in Santa Barbara: a combination of Gothic, Baroque and Classical architectural elements. Although historians today rethink the philosophy of the missions, in the 1940s they were considered romantic — the

aura of Spanish Romance mixed with local flavor. The bracelet is popular today as a “Frida” inspired piece, as Frida Kahlo wore massive pieces like this in indigenous styles. And since this is heavy, and pure sterling, the value of the piece is $750.00. The tiny stirrups (estribos) are delightful, made for a noblewoman with fashionable tiny feet in 1880-1890, in Argentina. These were not meant for heavy riding, but for show. Other Spanish Colonial forms of estribos are more massive, and larger shoe-form, often with the toes in an unique Asian inspired curl. Why? The history of the stirrup is based in Asia. Chinese stirrups spread into Europe in the first few centuries A.D. through nomadic tribes of Central Eurasia. In fact, the Chinese Jin Dynasty “paired” stirrups were popular with European nobility in the Medieval period. How do we know that European stirrups were based on a Chinese form? Chinese noblemen, horsemen and soldiers were buried with their prized paired stirrups, the earliest found in a Chinese tomb dating to 415 A.D., and imaged in funerary terracotta figures of mounted noblemen, clearly showing his stirrups, from 302 A.D. We compare those forms from China with drawings and murals in medieval Europe of mounted warriors and processions of

mounted equipage, for example, an illustration from 867 A.D. of Byzantine Emperor Basil I, , who is mounted with Asian-inspired stirrups. Metal stirrups continue this design feature of the shoe-stirrup with the slight curl to the toe in Spanish Colonial brass and silver stirrups, also seen in wood forms, and the brass flatter toed shoe-stirrups from Europe and England, into the 19th century. India had a similar curled toe shoe-stirrup dating as far back as 2 B.C.E. In fact, stirrups may be considered one of the most influential tools of civilization, “helping along” the spread of cultures, along with equally important tools such as the wheel, and the printing press. ‘Why? Well, without the stirrup, a rider has little control of the horse, making the horse and stirrup influential in the spread of populations, communication and the art of war for millennia. So says historian Zaheer Baber in his 1996 book, “The Science of Empire: Scientific Knowledge, Civilization and Colonial Rule.” The value of the tiny little Argentine, late 19th-century stirrups is $300. 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.

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.

those that require you to dust off your investigative skills. Libra — Money on the mind, Libra? Mercury joins the hoard of planets in Scorpio on Friday in your finance sector. Are you saving up for something? Or perhaps trying to improve your credit score? Any and all money matters will be successful over the next few weeks, so it would behoove of you to consider trying to grow your net worth. Scorpio — Are you feeling yourself, Scorpio? The sun, Mercury, and Mars are lighting up your appearance zone. Though the cooler weather has us covering up, you’re definitely being seen right now! Beyond that, you may find yourself contemplating the impressions you’ve been making over the last few weeks. Sagittarius — You may be seeing green this month, Sagittarius. On Friday, Venus shifts from your sign to Capricorn to rest in your finance zone. So, now is the time to begin making money moves! Capricorn — The Venusian spotlight is leaving Sagittarius to shine on you, Capricorn! So, dig out your best duds from the closet and strut your stuff because all eyes are on you. But knowing you, perhaps you’d prefer to use your increased magnetism to attract some important people or connections your way. Aquarius — What’s new at work, Aquarius? On Friday, Mercury makes its way into Scorpio and your career sector, sparking some extra talk in the office. But not to worry! It’s most likely jealousy concerning your gold star performance over the last few weeks. However, things may not be quite so pearly in the relationship department with Venus slipping into your secrets sector. Pisces — Adventure is on the horizon, Pisces! And the Scorpionic energy beckons you to follow its lead into the great unknown. If you’ve been lost in the monotony of routine over the last few months, now is the time to branch out and explore some new avenues. Perhaps a mini-vacation is even in order. Venus’ turn into your friendship zone on Friday encourages you to bring some friends along with you for the ride! After all, we get by with a little help from our friends.

By Horoscope.com Monday, November 8, 2021 Aries — Things are heating up for you, Aries! On Friday, Mercury dives into your intimacy and transformation sector, joining the sun, Mars, and Thursday’s new moon in Scorpio. While Venus in Sagittarius may have seen you flitting from lover to lover, the planet of love’s shift into Capricorn and your career sector calls for more commitment. Taurus — It’s post spooky season, and you’re on the hunt for a different kind of boo, Taurus. With the new moon in your opposite sign, Scorpio, and your relationship zone, you may be thinking more about your partnerships — romantic and platonic — this week. However, there’s quite a bit of energy already floating there, so be on the lookout for ruffled feathers and tensions. Gemini — Most people wait for the New Year to contemplate creating some new routines, but you’ve always been a little ahead of the game. Haven’t you, Gemini? You see, a wealth of planets in Scorpio is sitting in your habit zone, encouraging you to transform your health and day-today. Your body is a temple, and it’s high time that you begin treating it as such. Cancer — It’s nowhere near Valentine’s Day, but Cupid is keeping you on your toes, Cancer. On Friday, Venus moves into Cancer and your relationship sector, beginning a fourth monthlong period of serious romantic contemplations. What are you looking for in a life partner, Cancer? Venus is giving you an opportunity to take a critical look at how you approach partnership. Leo — Buckle up, Leo. The forecast for the next few weeks tells of some shake-ups on the home front, especially following Mars’ slide into Scorpio and your domestic zone last week. Now, on Friday, Mercury also dips into the secretive sign, sparking many a conversation on and with family. Virgo — You’re usually clever, Virgo, but right now, you’re firing with every single cylinder. The sun, moon, Mars, and Mercury starting Friday are in Scorpio and your communication zone, upping the ante of your thought processes. Intellectual pursuits are where you can truly shine over the next few weeks, especially
