Cycling to China Covenant Living at the Samarkand residents join virtual adventure By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
As the Winter Olympics in Beijing draws near, Covenant Living communities are hosting a Bike-to-Beijing challenge for their residents. Participants include Covenant Living at the Samarkand in Santa Barbara, where residents are going all the way to China … Virtually. This is a virtual cyber cycle challenge where communities are joining together to bike the almost 6,922 miles from Washington, D.C., to Beijing in time for the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics. The challenge started Jan. 3 and will continue to Feb. 4, the day of the Olympics’ opening ceremony. “We got together with the other communities within the Covenant community, trying to find an activity to bring people in the communities together,” Kelsey Roberts, the wellness coordinator at Samarkand, told the NewsPress. “Covenant Living has a total of 16 communities across the country. Cybercycle is a great way to exercise but to be cognitively engaged. Bike-to-Beijing was born out of that desire. “‘Bike to Beijing’ is a great way for these residents to kick off the new year by staying fit and taking part in a wellness program — not to mention throwing in a bit of competitiveness along the way,” Ms. Roberts said. The Cyber Cycle is a stationary recumbent bike with a video screen showing virtual roads to ride on. Residents can add to their total by logging in each time they ride. This is a combined effort with mileage from all communities added up. Top riders and teams will be recognized within the Covenant Living organization. “They each have a member profile with information, login info, heart rate etc; and the bike records their information,” Ms. Roberts said. “It is an individual goal, but this one is done as a community, bringing camaraderie and connection to the community to motivate each other, but they do have individual goals. Participation is a group and team effort.” There is no minimum mileage requirement for participants. “Some people get intimidated by that, so this allows people to participate based on their comfortability,” Ms. Roberts said. “We even have a Samarkand Strong Squad, encouraging the

Surf’s up again for Rincon Classic By FORREST MCFARLAND NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT
The 40th annual 2022 Channel Islands Surfboards Rincon Classic is returning today after a one-year hiatus from the in-person event. The Rincon Classic, which will continue on Sunday, is a celebration of surfing and community in the Carpinteria area. There will be limited parking, and shuttles will be running from Mark Avenue to Rincon from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily, courtesy of Jump On The School Bus. A full schedule of the events can
be found at rinconclassic.com/ schedule-and-heat-draw. Chris and Jenny Keet, founders of the surf school Surf Happens, are planning their 22nd year hosting this event. “The community really missed the event, and we’re glad to be back in 2022,” Surf Happens cofounder Chris Keet told the NewsPress on Friday. The Rincon Classic includes a surfing competition with a variety of age groups from 12-and-under to 65-and-up as well as food and drinks provided by various sponsors. This event is free for spectators.

More than just surfing, this is a celebration for the unique “micro community” of surfers in Carpinteria and the surrounding area. “The legacy of the Rincon Classic is that it’s only an 805 event,” Mr. Keet told the NewsPress Friday. There is a “ripple effect rule” in place for surfers wishing to participate in the event, based on the idea of throwing a stone in the water at Rincon. Entry is prioritized toward residents who are closest to Rincon, an area that includes Carpinteria, Santa Barbara, Goleta, Ventura and
Ojai. Surfers from further within the 805 area code are allowed as space permits. “We have a community that’s second to none,” Mr. Keet told the News-Press. “The surfers that emerge from this region are incredible.” World class surfers are expected to be present and represent their home communities.

Elaine and Alberto Morello, owners of Olio e Limone Ristorante, are operating a new Sicilian restaurant, Bedda Mia, which will open around early February. This new business venture will be in the space formerly occupied by Trattoria Mollie. Chef and owner Mollie Ahlstrand closed her final location at the end of 2021 to pursue catering and cooking instruction. The venue is located at 1218 State St., right next to The Granada. The owner of Bedda Mia hired Mr. and Mrs. Morello to operate the new restaurant, realizing the two already have several successful Italian cuisine businesses. “Although we’ve always had touches of Sicily throughout
our menus and specials at the Olios, the cuisine at Bedda Mia is strictly Sicilian, with an emphasis on seafood and fresh produce-based dishes and Sicilian wines,” Mrs. Morello told the News-Press on Friday in an email. Mrs. Morello explained that “Bedda Mia” is used as a term of endearment toward a wife, mother, daughter or friend. The phrase can also be used to reference Sicily itself. “Bedda Mia the restaurant is an ode to our beloved Sicilia,” Mrs. Morello said. The couple plan to continue owning and operating their Olio restaurants alongside this new opportunity. Their restaurants — Olio e Limone Ristorante, Olio Bottega and Olio Pizzeria — are located on Victoria Street near Bedda Mia. email: fmcfarland@newspress.com

Santa Barbara County reported 1,141 new COVID-19 cases and two deaths Thursday. Both individuals were in the 70-plus age group, and one had underlying medical conditions. Neither death is associated with a congregate care facility. One person resided in Santa Maria and the other in the Santa Ynez Valley. Of the 1,141 new cases, the highest number, 293, was in Santa Maria, according to the county Public Health Department. Neighboring Orcutt had 97 cases. Elsewhere, 162 cases were reported

Pile burning planned A series of controlled burns will take place from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday near Figueroa Mountain and other forest locations in Santa Barbara County. It’s a prescribed pile burning of 1-10 treated acres of slash from felled dead trees and brush. The goal is to reduce the risk of
wildfire. Planned fires tend to burn less intensely than wildfires, according to a news release. The burn will be conducted when the meteorological conditions are best to direct smoke away from highly populated areas. If weather and air quality are not as desired for smoke dispersal, the burn will be rescheduled. This prescribed burn is planned and coordinated by Los Padres National Forest with air pollution control districts in Santa Barbara
and San Luis Obispo counties and the San Joaquin Valley. The coordination also involves the California Air Resources Board, and the goal is to minimize impacts on air quality on surrounding communities. This burn depends on weather and air quality conditions that are favorable for smoke dispersal. If the conditions are not as desired, the burn will be rescheduled, according to the news release. — Katherine Zehnder

There are 723 people incarcerated at the 50-year-old Santa Barbara County Main Jail.
North County branch jail ready to open when it can be staffed JAIL
Continued from Page A1 testing positive for COVID-19, he is especially concerned. “My impression is that the Santa Barbara County jail, in this particular surge, is in a worse situation than most counties,” said Mr. Fischer, a representative in similar cases statewide. “The facilities of the Santa Barbara County (Main) Jail are extraordinarily dangerous and conducive to mass transmission, and they are not equipped to meet this moment. And (the case rate) also speaks to, I believe, that the jail has too many people to be able to manage the current situation in custody.” The county is drafting plans for the recently approved renovations to the jail. The newly constructed North County branch jail in Santa Maria is ready for activation at any moment — if the county sheriff’s office can staff it. The Santa Barbara County Deputy Sheriffs’ Association acknowledged a “critical staffing issue” at the jail but directed further questions to the sheriff’s office spokesperson (who can’t speak on pending litigation). “People are under a lot of stress. The staff at the jail is exhausted,” said Mr. Fischer, who investigated conditions. According to the letter sent to the county on Jan. 8, healthcare staffing is at 45% of intended, and half of mental healthcare roles are vacant. Dr. Homer Venters, who monitors COVID-19 precautions in jails countrywide, suggested two precautions Dec. 29 not yet adopted by the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office. His first recommendation includes listing and monitoring high-risk incarcerated people so they don’t go unnoticed if they develop a severe case. Dr. Venters also noted that the jail is not using the vaccination database. The letter says this is important for the administration of subsequent doses and identification of unvaccinated people (who would be treated as high-risk). The jail stopped its vaccination efforts because of its staffing shortage but restarted them after a meeting with class counsel. It administered approximately 150 vaccinations between Dec. 30 and Jan. 2, according to the aforementioned letter. The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department and the Department of Behavioral Wellness provided staff for the jail, and the California Department of Public Health sent a team to bolster testing.
Class counsel recommends the county reduce its jail population. Between March and June 2020, the population fell 37%, but counsel is noticing a “significant increase” in the population. At its lowest, the jail housed under 580 people. Now 723 are incarcerated. Santa Barbara County District Attorney Joyce Dudley told the News-Press there’s been a rise in violent crime and arrests in the county. The Santa Barbara County Grand Jury issued a report on diversion tactics last month. According to its report, 80% of those in a COVID-19 pretrial release program did not reoffend. An estimated 7580% of the Main Jail’s population is awaiting trial. District Attorney Dudley said minor offenses are still on a “zero bail” policy, meaning the accused do not have to pay a bail to stay out of jail pending trial. She said those in custody have been arrested for larger crimes. “How much are we letting down the public by taking people who have been accused of crimes and not booking them in county jail or releasing them early?” she said. “I have public safety concerns about the jail and public safety concerns about the public.” She noted a recent case where a man was released and, soon after, was reported in someone’s home. The letter from class counsel advocates for release measures that balance public safety and meeting the needs of the county’s incarcerated — including the demands of the court-ordered settlement. “They’re allowing their jail to be populated to an extent where staff cannot do the necessary both in terms of COVID in general operations and health care. And that is extraordinarily dangerous,” Mr. Fischer said. A 45-year-old man died 31 minutes after being booked in a single-occupant safety cell Wednesday morning. A cause of death has not been reported, and the investigation is open. “It would not surprise me if, the horrible deaths that occurred this week at the jail, that the COVID situation contributed to that terrible outcome. Whether due to staff just being stretched way too thin, but the person shouldn’t be dying in a safety cell the way that that person did on the ground,” Mr. Fischer said. According to a December status report of the county’s implementation of the Murray settlement, Dr. Venter found the county only “partially compliant” in many areas. The county had marked those requirements as completed. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

SANTA MARIA — Community Bancorp of Santa Maria experienced significant growth, according to their fourth quarter earnings report released by President Janet Silveria. Net income increased 29% from $2.209 million in December 2020 to $2.850 million in December 2021, according to the report. “The bank experienced significant growth in 2021, and we’re proud of our ability to continue to provide a return to our shareholders as well as valuable support and financial services to our community,” said Janet Silveria, the bank’s president and CEO, in a news release. Compared to the fourth quarter earnings report of 2020, basic earnings per share increased from $1.02 in 2020 to $1.32 in 2021. Total deposits increased 23% from $307.6 million to $378.2 million, and total assets increased 22% from $338.8 million to $415 million. The only figure that decreased was net loans from $236.6 million to $211.4 million. “The bank participated in the Paycheck Protection Program and funded more than $81 million in loans to over 600 businesses in the Santa Maria Valley,” said Mrs. Silveria in the media release, explaining this decrease. “As those loans are quickly qualifying for forgiveness, the Small Business Administration is paying off the loans.” The bank thanked the community for its success and celebrated by giving back to Santa Maria. “We celebrated our 20-year anniversary in 2021, which is a noteworthy milestone, and we celebrated that by giving away $20,000 in donations to local nonprofits nominated by our customers,” Mrs. Silveria said. “We could think of no better way to show our appreciation to our customers and our community for their support these past 20 years.”
The locations of fifty-two cases are pending. One hundred and three patients are recovering in county hospitals. Another 10 cases are recovering in intensive care units. Santa Barbara County now has a total of 63,421 cases, of which 7,148 are still infectious. The total number of deaths is now 575.

CDC advises upgrade in masks By FORREST MCFARLAND NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urged individuals Friday to upgrade their masks. As COVID-19 cases continue to rise, the CDC released a statement describing the most effective masks to use in “higher risk situations.” “Loosely woven cloth products provide the least protection, layered finely woven products offer more protection, well-fitting disposable surgical masks and KN95s offer even more protection, and well-fitting (National Institute for Occupational Health and Safety)-approved respirators (including N95s) offer the highest level of protection” the CDC says. The CDC explained that masks that offer more protection are
important in situations such as, “When you’re not up-to-date on COVID-19 vaccines, when you’re in a crowded public place, either indoor or outdoors or when you’re working at a job when you come into contact with a lot of people.” According to the CDC, masks are still a critical public health tool in preventing the spread of COVID-19. The CDC offered tips for getting more protection by wearing two masks, a cloth mask on top of a disposable one, or combining a cloth or disposable mask with a fitter or brace. “These updates to our webpage reflect the science on masking, including what we have learned in the past two years,” the CDC said in the statement. “We will continue to share the science of masking as it becomes available.”

California officials look to ease gas prices, target state’s excise tax By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE
(The Center Square) – California officials unveiled multiple proposals this week to address the Golden State’s gas prices, targeting excise tax rates to bring consumers relief at the pump. Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday proposed pausing the annual gas tax hike that takes effect over the summer, which would halt the inflation adjustment set to kick in July 1. The measure was outlined in his 2022-2023 budget proposal, which the governor presented Monday. Under existing law, the state’s excise tax rate is adjusted for inflation and rises incrementally each year. The bill that set this measure in motion, Senate Bill 1, was passed in 2017 to help fund transportation projects and road maintenance projects across the state. The governor’s proposal would pause the annual adjustment, keeping the excise tax rate at 51.1 cents per gallon in the next fiscal year. “It’s a $523 million gas tax holiday of sorts,” Gov. Newsom said during his budget proposal on Monday. He noted that the state will “backfill” the tax related
to transportation projects to ensure “there’s no direct impact to investments.” Currently, the Golden State has the nation’s highest prices for gas, coming in at an average of $4.651 per gallon, according to AAA. Part of the price at the pump comes from the state’s excise tax, as well as sales tax and state, local and federal taxes. In total, Californians pay 86.55 cents per gallon in gas taxes, according to Jeffrey Spring, a spokesperson for Southern California AAA. While Gov. Newsom’s proposal would pause the scheduled increase of the state’s excise tax, another legislator introduced a bill this week that would temporarily suspend the excise tax altogether. Assemblyman Kevin Kiley, R-Rocklin, introduced a bill on Wednesday that would suspend the state’s excise tax for six months, potentially saving Californians 50 cents-per-gallon at the pump. “This bill puts money back into the pockets of families at a time when they need it most,” Assemblyman Kiley said in a statement. “Inflation and record gas prices are making our state even less affordable. Californians need relief.” In November, California’s average gas price Please see GAS on A4

(The Center Square) – President Joe Biden saw a flurry of setbacks on a range of key issues this week, making it one of his toughest since taking office. Pres. Biden addressed those difficulties in a speech Friday after losses in Congress, the Supreme Court, the court of public opinion and with the economy. “There’s a lot of talk about disappointments and things we haven’t gotten done,” Pres. Biden said during his remarks. ‘We’re gonna get a lot of them done, I might add.” One of the biggest blows to the Biden administration this week was the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling to halt Pres. Biden’s federal vaccine mandate for private sector employers with at least 100 workers. The mandate was a key part of Pres. Biden’s recent COVID-related efforts and may set the stage for other vaccine mandates to be questioned. Meanwhile, several economic indicators made a poor showing this week. Jobless claims increased, and new data showed that retail sales fell 1.9% in December. The Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics also released figures on two major inflation markers this week, the consumer price index and the producer price index, both showing major spikes in inflation. The producer price index increased 0.2% in December, following a year of significant price increases. “This rise followed advances of 1.0 percent in November and 0.6 percent in October,” BLS said. “On an unadjusted basis, final demand prices moved up 9.7 percent in 2021, the largest

Biden’s work while 57% disapprove. calendar-year increase since data were first calculated in 2010.” That data came just one day after BLS released consumer price index numbers, which reported consumer prices have increased at the fastest pace since 1982. On top of economic difficulties, the Biden administration also took legislative losses this week. On Tuesday, the president pushed for “getting rid of” the Senate filibuster to push through Congress legislation that would amount to a federal takeover of state elections. Pres. Biden called his Republican opponents racist and enemies of Democracy but was roundly criticized by both parties after the speech. Even members of his own party rebuffed the comments, with one Democratic senator calling the push rushed. “There’s no need for me to restate my longstanding support for the 60-vote threshold to pass legislation,” U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., said from the Senate floor Thursday. “There’s no need for me to restate its role in protecting our country from wild reversals of federal policy. This week’s harried discussions about Senate rules are but a poor substitute for what I believe could have and should have been a thoughtful public debate at any time over the past year.” Sen. Sinema was not the only Democrat to oppose the filibuster

Continued from Page A1 reached an all-time high of $4.682 per gallon, according to the Los Angeles Times. While the average price has slightly decreased since, Spring said AAA does not expect the price of fuel to go down any time soon. “We hit records here in California back in November in many regions of the state, and even though oil prices dropped about 20% from October to the end of the year, they started going up again,” Mr. Spring told The Center Square. “But gasoline prices didn’t drop 20% in the same period of time – they
dropped 2% or 3% and that was about it. “Even though we’re still within 10 cents a gallon of our records, I just don’t see where it’s going to drop anytime soon, which is unfortunate because of how much we pay.” A report released Wednesday from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics found that the gasoline index rose 49.6% over the last year. The total consumer-price index rose 7% in December over the previous year. Mr. Spring explained that part of the reason oil continues to rise is that “demand has outstripped production.” He noted that at the start of the pandemic, the oil price dropped dramatically when consumers had less of a demand for the commodity, causing
producers to drastically reduce their capacity. Now that people have largely returned to daily commutes and travel, oil demand is outpacing production, causing the price of fuel to rise. The higher oil cost has an impact on the price of goods. “The price of goods has gone up and part of that is the cost of transporting the goods to their destinations,” Mr. Spring said. “I think consumers have already seen what higher gas prices can do to other things in their sphere, like food products and even clothing,” he later added. “Everything that needs to be delivered somewhere is going to have a higher cost because of that.”

Biden’s setbacks on social media. “It really has been a horrible, no good, very bad week for Joe Biden,” tweeted Kyle Hupfer, chairman of the Indiana Republican Party. Inflation, joblessness and vaccine mandates have been issues for the Biden administration for months, though, and poll numbers this week showed voters are unhappy with the president’s work one year into his presidency. A Quinnipiac poll released this week reported Pres. Biden’s job approval rating had dipped to 33%. On the economy, the poll found 34% of those surveyed approve of Pres. Biden’s work while 57% disapprove. “Americans give President Joe Biden a negative 33–53 percent job approval rating,

Kendall Andrews Mills, Jr. passed away peacefully on the morning of December 29, 2021, five days after his 87th birthday. He was born in Saginaw, Michigan on December 24, 1934. His beloved wife of 63 years, Mary Lloyd Mills, passed away on August 4, 2020. Ken is survived by his three children, Bonnie, David, and Chris Mills and their spouses, Doug Eicher, Wanda Mills, and Mireille Mills, and their grandchildren Charles Dennis, Addison Mills, Taggart Mills, Tilly Mills, Marisol Mills, and Lautner Mills. A joyous person who always loved a good joke, Ken was much loved by all who knew him. He grew up in Saginaw as an only child surrounded by many cousins and friends with whom he stayed close over the years. He spent wonderful summers with his mother and her extended family at Higgins Lake in Michigan. His family heard many stories over the years about his exploits on the water and in the woods, playing with friends, learning to swim, boat, and canoe, and playing practical jokes. When he was older, he spent several summers working in the woods of Idaho and Minnesota cutting and clearing wood from the forests. He attended Cranbrook School in Detroit and then Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, where as a senior he began dating his future wife, Lloyd. After graduation, he joined the U.S. Army and trained at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in Monterey, California and was posted to Kassel, Germany for two years. He and Lloyd were married on July 1, 1957 and began their married life on an adventure in Monterey and Germany. They loved their time in Germany and were able to take advantage of weekends away for visits to other areas of Europe. Once he completed his military service, Ken moved with Lloyd and new daughter Bonnie back to Michigan. Ken returned to school, earning an MBA from the University of Michigan in 1961. In 1962, Ken’s work in sales brought him to Los Angeles, California. Settling in Pasadena, Ken continued his work in sales and investing and had two more children, David and Chris.

In June of 1972, Ken and his family moved from Pasadena to Solvang, California. They wanted a change of pace for their family, to spend more time outdoors, and to get involved in the local community. Over the years, Ken was involved with many organizations, including the local Rotary, the Solvang Theaterfest, Santa Ynez High School, The Family School, Dunn School, Cottage Hospital Foundation, and the Santa Ynez Valley Foundation. Ken was known in the community for volunteering his time and being a generous supporter of many different causes.

Ken enjoyed being involved in sports and physical activities. In high school and college, he played on many teams and later stayed active with tennis, golf, cycling, running, and walking. In the late 1980s, he and Lloyd developed a love of hiking, doing many trips throughout the Santa Barbara area, the Grand Canyon, Utah, and in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Over time they began leading their own trips to Austria and Switzerland to share their joy of the mountains with friends and others. They were happiest on these trips, sharing their passion for nature, challenging days on the trail, good food, and great conversations with friends.
remember
In lieu of cards or flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Ken’s memory to the Santa Ynez Valley Foundation, Cottage Hospital Foundation of Santa Ynez, or the Alzheimer’s Association, California Central Coast Chapter. The family would like to give thanks to the special friends and caregivers who made Ken’s life more comfortable and peaceful over the past two years. The family knows that your devotion and care of Ken brought joy to his last years.

while 13 percent did not offer an opinion,” Quinnipiac said. “In November 2021, Americans gave Biden a negative 36–53 percent job approval rating with 10 percent not offering an opinion.” Pres. Biden saw better approval ratings on his COVID-19 response in 2021, but now only 39% of those surveyed approve of his work on the pandemic, while 55% disapprove. Quinnipiac also found that 35% approve of Biden’s job on foreign policy, while 54% disapprove. At the same time, Pres. Biden’s support among Democrats has dropped significantly in recent weeks. “Among Democrats in today’s poll, 75 percent approve, 14 percent disapprove and 11 percent did not offer an opinion,” Quinnipiac said. “Among Democrats in November’s poll, 87 percent approved, 7 percent disapproved and 6 percent did not offer an opinion.”

celebration of all things related to the Rincon, the Pacific Coast and the surf culture of Southern California, the “Queen of the Coast” is an art exhibit held in conjunction with the Rincon Classic featuring artists from the Carpinteria, Rincon area, Santa Barbara and Ventura. After its opening this weekend, it is on view through Feb. 20 at the Lynda Fairly Carpinteria Arts Center, 865 Linden Ave. in Carpinteria. Hours are noon to 4 p.m. Thursday through Sunday. The “Queen of the Coast” public reception from 3 to 6 p.m. Jan. 22 will feature live music in the Koch Courtyard from The Wrinkled Teenagers. Sponsors are Rincon Designs, Esau’s Cafe and Pacifica Graduate Institute. “The Rincon Classic is one of the oldest and most revered events in California’s rich surfing history highlighting generations of the area’s best surfers at the fabled cobblestones of Rincon Point during optimal winter conditions,” said Joyce Donaldson, Arts Center outreach director. “The Lynda Fairly Carpinteria Arts Center last held the Rincon exhibit in 2020,” Ms. Donaldson told the News-Press. “The energetic crowd of Rincon artists, surfers and enthusiasts broke the opening reception attendance records in the courtyard and gallery since the opening of the 865 building in 2019.” Among other exhibits planned this year are “Palate to Palette’’ from April 8 through May 1; “Pivot: The Abstract of Will,” June 11 to July 31; “The Thread,” Sept. 2 to Oct 16; “The Fifth Dimension.” Oct. 21 to Nov. 27; and “Celebration! Celebracion,” Dec. 2 to Jan. 1, 2023. The Arts Center is a nonprofit that promotes and supports the arts. Its mission is to be a premier small-town arts center by fostering diverse community involvement, nurturing the creative process and its appreciation, providing a variety of educational experiences and serving as the vibrant heartbeat of Carpinteria. “Culture and the arts are instinctive in the human race and integral to our Carpinteria community. We can trace artistic expression in our area as far Please see QUEEN on B2

Taj Vaccarella painted “Rincon Summer,” an oil on canvas. “I made this painting two years before the pandemic during a time when I lived just up the 150 from Rincon,” the artist said. “It was such an upbeat summer and I was inspired one Saturday afternoon to paint the scene of all the dudes and babes and doggos enjoying the summer vibes on a mellow fun day at Rincon.”

At left, “Queen of the Coast” is an oil on wood by Sarah Kate LaVaccare, which she painted on location at Rincon Point in Carpinteria. “I am continually inspired by the ocean, and how it is consistent in its inconsistency,” the artist said. “Everyday there are new colors, textures and experiences to appreciate. Center, “Surfer in Time Lapse” features photography on metal by David Powdrell. “Time lapse photography adds a bit of motion, drama and a blending of colors that I’m drawn to,” Mr. Powdrell said. “The annual Rincon Classic surf contest is an ideal testing ground for exploring time lapse photography.” At right, “Shuku” is an oil on canvas by Ben O’Hara. “The Native American tribe that lived here before us, the Chumash, are always on my mind, and I try my best to imagine what life would have been like here before Western civilization,” Mr. O’Hara said. “Whether it be basket weaving, chert knapping, jewelry making, rock art painting, or constructing tomols (redwood plank canoes), the Chumash people were without a doubt master artists, craftsmen, craftswomen, fisherman, hunters and herbalists. My painting ‘Shuku’ is my way of honoring a culture that has inspired my entire life — expanding my imagination, feeding my desire to explore my own backyard, and growing my sense of awe and wonder of the amazing place we both call home.”

Center, “Rincon” is a mixed media collage by Bonny Butler. “Inspired by the gorgeous view atop the hill, Rincon was alive with vivid hues of the warm sands, the cool blue sea, the purple mountains and the clouds full of motion from the sea breezes,” the artist said. “Using acrylics, oil pastels, encaustic wax and decoupaging some colorful printed paper onto a canvas, I put my passion for the sea into this intuitive art piece.” At right, “Rincon Sea Glass Wave” is an archival photo print on canvas, by Glenn Dubock. “An unridden wave slips in at Rincon, a rare occasion. No surfer caught it, but it caught my attention due to the spinning sea glass color that only happens when the light is right,” Mr. Dubock said. “The Queen of the Coast shows off her finest jewels for mere seconds at a time …”

Herb Peterson Day set for Jan. 25
McDonalds restaurants in Santa Barbara and Goleta will again raise money for the Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics — thanks to the man who invented the Egg McMuffin. Herb Peterson Day is set for Jan. 25 at the six restaurants, which will sell Egg McMuffins that day for $2 with a minimum order of five of them. In 2021, the special day raised around $4,000 for the Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics, said David Peterson, Herb’s son and the owner of the McDonald’s restaurants in Goleta. Last year Mr. Peterson told the News-Press that his father, who died in 2008 at age 89, would have been happy to see Egg McMuffin sales helping the clinics. “My dad would love this cause,” he said. “It’s a perfect fit.”

The Carpinteria Valley Arts Council was established in 2001 and became the lead organization in the campaign for a community arts center. “Our first step was to purchase appropriate property for a center, and we accomplished that through an extensive fundraising campaign in 2005,” Ms. Donaldson said. “We have held exhibits at the Carpinteria Arts Center on Linden Avenue in Carpinteria since 2005. In 2019, we completed a remodel of our center that includes studios, galleries and multi-purpose space for the entire community where children, adults and retirees can develop their creative skills.” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

INSTRUCTIONS Fill in the grid so every row, every column and every 3-by-3 grid contains the digits 1 through 9. that means that no number is repeated in any row, column or box. Sudoku puzzles appear on the Diversions page Monday-Saturday and on the crossword solutions page in Sunday’s Life section.
+ < / 6 ) . : * ( 7 - % '
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.

LIBRA — Although almost everything in your life seems to be going well, Libra, today you just might find yourself in a bit of a panic. You might have a temporary fit of fear that your luck won’t last. However, this is most likely due to your deepest insecurities flaring up. Don’t read too much into it, and don’t pay any attention to the doubts expressed by others. SCORPIO — Today you might find yourself at a loss as to how to proceed with a particular task or project in which you’re involved, Scorpio. There might be a number of options open to you, all workable, and this could prove confusing. If all options are efficient and practical, don’t agonize over your decision. Flip a coin if you have to! Success is strongly indicated if you don’t stress yourself out in the process. SAGITTARIUS — Something may be troubling a family member, Sagittarius, and this person doesn’t seem inclined to talk about it. Your intuition seems to be temporarily blocked, so you can’t figure it out for yourself. Don’t try; it’s probably buried too deeply within the other person. Make it clear that you’re there if needed and then allow this person to go his or her own way. CAPRICORN — Today you might feel as if you’re living in a fog, Capricorn. Some interesting but puzzling news may come your way today. It might be information of such a bizarre nature that you find it difficult to accept, yet your source could be more than reliable. Conversations with others might seem vague and uncertain, as those around you aren’t really feeling all that communicative. AQUARIUS — Unexpected premonitions and gut feelings might prove too strong for comfort, Aquarius, especially if they sense upcoming events that aren’t all that pleasant. These feelings are sent to you not to worry you or cause upset but to give clues as to how to deal with the possibilities. You may also have to deal with your own selfdoubt. Dig in, do what you can, and assure a positive outcome. Remember, it’s possible to spin straw into gold! PISCES — A goal that you’ve been working toward for a long time and in which you’ve placed a lot of hope and confidence, may suddenly seem in doubt today, Pisces. This doesn’t mean it’s dead in the water by any means. It only means that for now you just need to work a little harder and rebuild your faith in it.

HOROSCOPE ARIES — A partner or colleague might be going through some changes right now, causing you to wonder if you have a future with this person. It might appear that you’re moving ahead while this person is lagging behind. This could be just a temporary condition, Aries, so take care not to jump to any conclusions at this time. TAURUS — At this time you might be in the space where you tend to doubt concepts and attitudes that you’ve accepted all your life. You generally tend to be a service-oriented person, Taurus, and today you might want to help out someone close to you. Yet this person may have deeply buried issues that only he or she can deal with, and therefore might give the appearance of being unappreciative. Rest assured that this is not the case. GEMINI — Dreams and visions might give rise to the desire to be especially artistic and creative today, Gemini. Ideas for new artistic projects could be popping in and out of your head all day, and you might go into a panic doubting that you’ll ever have the time to make any of your ideas a reality. CANCER — Successes over the past several weeks, along with an increase in money, might give rise to the desire to improve your living situation, Cancer. You might have doubts, however, as to how best to go about doing it. Should you move or should you simply remodel? Should you move close by or to a different area? It’s best to simply list the pros and cons of each option and then consider them all carefully. LEO — Stress from whatever work pressures you’ve been experiencing might cause you to feel a bit under the weather. Yet you’re probably unwilling to take some time off because you’re too concerned about finishing what you’re doing in a timely manner, Leo. It’s important to remember that you won’t finish it at all if you exhaust yourself. VIRGO — Blocks and obstacles that you may have reached with regard to your projects might cause you to wonder if you have what it takes to get them done at all, Virgo. This is OK, but don’t get caught up in doubting your abilities. Step back, be objective, and work out the most practical and efficient ways to get past the obstacles and attain the results you want.

The proposed project is a request for a Land Use Permit (Case No. 19LUP-00000-00469) to allow the construction of a 15,648-square-foot greenhouse that will be used for vegetable cultivation. The maximum height of the proposed greenhouse is 20 feet. The project includes the demolition/ removal of 3,329 square foot of existing development consisting of greenhouses, sheds, and storage containers. A new fence is proposed around the greenhouse. Proposed grading is 3,200 cubic yards of cut and 3,106 cubic yards of fill. No tree or vegetation removal is proposed. Access would continue to be provided from an existing private driveway off of Fredensborg Canyon Road. Proposed parking includes 11 new spaces (1 ADA). Approximately six (6) full-time employees would be working from 8 a.m. through 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and occasional Saturdays. The proposed project includes a new private septic system and 3,930 square feet of new landscaping. Water to the new greenhouse will be provided by a new agricultural water well. Blackout curtains will be installed and used from sunset to sunrise while the grow lights are active.

Proposed Amendments to Ordinance. The proposed changes will add language that was inadvertently omitted from Article I, Chapter 27, Section 27-5 and correct language that should have been deleted in Article II, Chapter 27, Section 27-25 when changes were made to those sections of the ordinance in early 2021. The project to be considered by the Board of Supervisors includes the following items: • Consider the introduction (first reading) of an amendment to Article I and Article II, Chapter 27 Personnel in Attachment A, of the Santa Barbara County Code of Ordinances; and • Read the title of the Ordinance and waive full reading of the Ordinance; and • Continue the hearing to the Administrative Agenda of February 1, 2022 to adopt changes to the Santa Barbara County Code of Ordinances, Section 27, Personnel (second reading); and • Find that the proposed actions do not constitute a “Project” within the meaning of California Environmental Quality Act, pursuant to 14 CCR 15378(b)(2), as it consists of general policy and procedure making.
