More than a thousand people Friday visited Gem Faire, known as America’s premier jewelry and bead show, at the Earl Warren Showgrounds.

The event continues from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. today and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday at the showgrounds at 3400 Calle Real, Santa Barbara.

This weekend’s fair is a tradition that has taken place every February, May, August and December for the past 30 years.

There is a $7 admission fee that is valid for the entire weekend.

Besides finished jewelry and millions of bead strands, the

fair features everything from gemstones to crystals, fossils, fashion accessories, supplies and tools.

“Crystals and minerals have been some of our best sellers the last two years,” manager Allen Van Volkinburgh told the NewsPress.

“This is a great place for gifts as well as a great place to find trinkets and antiques from around the world including Africa, South America, Tibet, Nepal and China,” Mr. Van Volkinburgh said. “You can take a really nice trip around the world at the fair and see things from the world, and really get a feel for where these things come Please see FAIRE on A6

Countless bead strands grace Gem Faire.

(The Center Square) – A group of California lawmakers have reintroduced a proposal to tax extremely wealthy residents, a measure they say could bring the state billions in revenue by increasing taxes on households with a net worth of more than $50 million.

The proposal, reintroduced

by Assemblymember Alex Lee, D-San Jose, would affect the top 0.07% of Californians, which equates to about 15,000 households. It would apply a 1% annual tax on worldwide net worth over $50 million and an annual tax of 1.5% for a resident whose worldwide net worth exceeds $1 billion.

“While some say California is driving away higher income residents, the opposite is true – we’ve actually been losing lower and middle-income residents that are being priced out while continuing to gain higher-income residents,” Assemblymember Lee said in a statement when the bill was introduced Wednesday.

“With a tax on the ultra-wealthy who pay a lower effective tax rate than the bottom 99%, we can invest in our schools, tackle homelessness, expand needed services, and much more.”

The tax for wealthy residents would be implemented in January 2025, while the billionaire-specific tax would be applied in 2023. If the bill is enacted, Assemblymember Lee estimated that the law would raise revenues by an estimated

$22.3 billion per year.

According to Assemblymember Lee’s office, there are no specific earmarks for how the funds would be used at this time, but a portion of the revenue would fund a Wealth Tax Advisory Council, according to the bill’s text.

The council would be responsible for making suggestions to the Legislature regarding modifications to the wealth tax and would review the expenditure of revenues generated by the tax.

If passed by the state Legislature, the bill would require the approval of voters because it would amend the state’s constitution, which currently has a wealth tax rate limit of 0.4%.

Supporters of the bill say the tax is needed to ensure the wealthiest Californians do not continue to take advantage of the state’s tax codes.

“The ultra-rich have taken advantage of a tax system that allows them to profit from working-class Californians, a gross inequity that was exacerbated by the pandemic,” Assemblywoman Luz Rivas, DSan Fernando Valley, a co-author of the bill, said in a statement.

Rivas pointed to a U.S. Department of the Treasury report that says the wealthiest Americans avoid paying $163 billion in income taxes per year.

He added that it’s time that “top-earning millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share in taxes to keep our government Please see WEALTH on A2

New SB city administrator has affinity for public service Rebecca Bjork worked her way up to top position

By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Rebecca Bjork started out on the “front lines” of public service, deftly working her way through various positions in Santa Barbara for more than three decades.

And after serving as the interim city administrator since September 2021, Ms. Bjork was picked by the Santa Barbara City Council to remain in the role in a permanent capacity. The council’s favorable vote earlier this week was unanimous.

Ms. Bjork has always had an affinity for public service, knowing early on she wanted her work to be “important and good.”

She studied environmental studies in college and developed and implemented a program at a plant that controls toxic wastewater from businesses.

397 COVID-19 cases, five deaths reported NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA BOARD OF SUPERVISORS NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Tuesday, March 1, 2022 In Santa Barbara The meeting starts at 9:00 a.m.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on March 1, 2022, the Board of Supervisors will consider the recommendations of the County Planning Commission to approve the Galileo Pisa, LLC Apartments Project (Case Nos. 19GPA 00000-00003, 19RZN-00000-00002, and 19DVP-00000-00039).

The proposed Galileo Pisa, LLC Apartments development project consists of the construction of a new, 27-unit apartment building with three detached covered carports, two trash enclosures, 60 vehicle parking spaces, and 54 bicycle parking spaces where a remnant avocado orchard currently exists. The apartment building will total 27,723 gross square feet with a maximum height of 36 feet.

The units will be available as market rate rental apartments. The project is exempt from providing affordable units pursuant to the Inclusionary Housing program since it is a 100% rental project.

The project’s unit density (16.7 units/acre) is consistent with the DR-20 Zone District, which allows for a maximum of 32 units on the 1.62-acre project site (up to 20 units per acre). The project site’s larger parcel, APN 069-525-022 (1.51 acres), is already zoned DR-20, a change that occurred with adoption of the Eastern Goleta Valley Community Plan. The proposed Rezone and Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment will convert a small adjacent parcel, APN 069-160-051 (0.11 acres), from a Commercial zoning and land use designation to Design Residential with a corresponding density of 20 units per acre. The two parcels comprising the project site will be voluntarily merged prior to Zoning Clearance issuance.

The project site consists of two parcels totaling 1.62 acres, situated on the southwest corner of Calle Real and Patterson Avenue, located at 5317 Calle Real. Assessor’s Parcel Number 069-525-022 is a flat 1.51-acre parcel zoned DR-20 that contains a remnant avocado orchard. Assessor’s Parcel Number 069-160-051 is 0.11 acres, zoned C-2, undeveloped, and sits approximately 10 feet above the grade of APN 069-525-022. A former Mobil Oil service station was located on APN 069-160-051 and other adjacent parcels from approximately 1967 through 2002. The service station became nonoperative in the 1990s and in 2005, the adjacent parcels were redeveloped to the Patterson Plus Self-Storage facility leaving APN 069-160-051 vacant. Assessor’s Parcel Number 069-160-051 has been previously remediated through the Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) program and is considered unusable as an individual parcel due to its small size and lack of access.

For additional information, please contact Sean Stewart at sestewart@countyofsb.org or 805-5682517.

On June 11, 2021, and effective immediately, Governor Newsom issued Executive Orders N-07-21 and N-08-21, which rescinded some prior Executive Orders related to COVID-19, but Executive Order N08-21 additionally states some prior Executive Orders related to COVID-19 still remain necessary to help California respond to, recover from, and mitigate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. For current and alternative methods of public participation for the meeting of March 1, 2022, please see page two (2) of the posted Agenda.

Please see the posted agenda and staff reports available on the Thursday prior to the meeting at http://santabarbara.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx under the hearing date, or by contacting the Clerk of the Board at (805) 568-2240 for alternative options.

Please see the posted agenda, available on Thursday prior to the above referenced meeting for a more specific time for this item. However, the order of the agenda may be rearranged or the item may be continued.

In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, if you need special assistance to participate in this meeting, please contact the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors by 4:00 PM on Friday before the Board meeting. For information about these services please contact the Clerk of the Board at (805) 568-2240.

If you challenge this project (Case Nos. 19GPA-00000-00003, 19RZN-00000-00002, 19DVP-00000-00039) in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence to the Board of Supervisors prior to the public hearing. G.C. Section 65009, 6066, and 6062a.

Santa Barbara County reported 397 new COVID-19 cases and five deaths Friday. Four individuals were in the 70-plus age group, and one was in the 30-49 age group. Two individuals had underlying health conditions.

One death was associated with a congregate care facility.

Of the 397 cases, the highest number, 210, was in Santa Maria, according to the county Public Health Department. Neighboring Orcutt had 28 cases.

TRAFFIC, CRIME AND FIRE BLOTTER Pile burning next week A prescribed pile burning will take place Tuesday through Thursday in Los Padres National Forest of 1 to 10 acres of treated slash from felled trees and brush.

An additional series of burns will occur throughout the spring, according to a news release.

Burns will take place from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the prescribed day. Burning will occur near Figueroa Mountain and various other forest locations.

The goal of the series of prescribed burns is to reduce the risk of wildfire.

The burn will be conducted

when meteorological conditions are favorable to direct smoke away from population centers.

This prescribed burn is planned and coordinated by Los Padres National Forest with air pollution control districts in Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Ventura counties and the California Air Resources Board to minimize impacts on air quality for surrounding communities.

The burn is dependent on favorable conditions of weather and air quality for smoke dispersal, according to the news release. The burn will be rescheduled if conditions are not favorable.

Administrator’s office oversees 10 departments, 1,000 employees ADMIN

Continued from Page A1 She served as the water resources manager for about seven years, overseeing water and wastewater utilities at the Cater Water Treatment Plant and El Estero Wastewater Treatment Plant in Santa Barbara.

From there, Ms. Bjork worked her way up — a “whirlwind” of public service in Santa Barbara, she said.

Ms. Bjork spent five years as the director of Public Works, Santa Barbara’s largest city department with seven divisions, nearly 300 employees and a $138 million budget.

She has also served as the interim community development director. It was in that position that the city has credited Ms. Bjork for her work to help the homeless population and address encampments during the pandemic. She also implemented some reforms to the department on the business side and managed the Sustainability & Resiliency Department.

Ms. Bjork is a “systems manager,” meaning she enjoys finding new processes that work efficiently in public service and then implementing those practices.

“We have wonderful staff across the board. One of the things I really recognized last year when I was doing so many different positions at once is we have really

good people here,” Ms. Bjork told the News-Press. “I am looking forward to working with my executive team, which is relatively new, to put in place a strong culture and (a focus on) service.”

Protecting the environment while advocating for infrastructure has been a major focus for Ms. Bjork throughout her career. She said she’s glad to work for Santa Barbara, a city that is environmentally conscious and “willing to do the right thing.”

“I really appreciate being able to work for a place that balances the values of managing rates with managing outcomes,” Ms. Bjork said.

The City Administrator’s Office oversees the operations of 10 departments and more than 1,000 full-time and part-time employees.

The office is in charge of labor negotiations, strategic planning, policy development, legislative advocacy, intergovernmental relations and city television, just to name a few areas.

Ms. Bjork is an alumna of Grinnell College and Cal State Northridge.

Earlier this week, Santa Barbara Mayor Randy Rowse said, “Her performance in the interim capacity has been accomplished and progressive, and we have every confidence that her experience, management skills and dedication will continue to be an asset to the city of Santa Barbara.” email: kschallhorn@newspress.com

services funded for the very people they profit from.”

The California Taxpayers Association said Thursday that a similar wealth tax proposal brought forth last year “led many Californians to rethink living in California, just by virtue of being introduced.”

Lee introduced near-identical legislation last year, but it never received a committee hearing and died due to legislative deadlines.

The association noted that the “top 5% of earners in California account for about two-thirds of the total personal income tax revenue” collected by the state, adding that the tax would cause high-earners to consider leaving the state.

“The new-and-not-improved proposal will prompt more wealthy Californians to pack their bags and move – a bad idea considering they represent a major portion of our tax base,” CalTax President Robert Gutierrez said in a statement.

“If high earners leave – and they will, to avoid the tax hike as well as the headache of having to annually appraise everything they

own, anywhere in the world – the taxpayers left in California will be asked to pay more,” he added.

The California Federation of Teachers (CFT), which is sponsoring the bill, said this week that the tax would give the state the ability to fix several looming problems the state faces, including issues with wildfires, housing, education and water.

“California billionaires have increased their wealth astronomically since the beginning of the pandemic, while regular working families have struggled to pay their bills,” said CFT President Jeffrey Freitas said in a statement. He later added, “It’s time we took care of each other, and not just watch billionaires fly into space.”

Assemblymember Lee’s bill is similar to a proposal unveiled by Sen. Elizabeth Warren in March 2021 – the “Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act” – that sought to impose a 2% annual tax on households and trusts worth $50 million to $1 billion, and a 1% surtax on households and trusts worth more than $1 billion.

If Assemblymember Lee’s proposal is approved by the State Legislature, voters will decide on the measure on the 2022 ballot.

Seventy patients are recovering in county hospitals. Another 13 are recovering in intensive care units.

Santa Barbara County now has a total of 83,760 cases, of which 1,077 are still infectious.

The total number of deaths is 644.

The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department reported that 71.6% of the eligible 5-and-older population is fully vaccinated.

Of the entire county population (all ages), 67.3% is fully vaccinated.

All numbers are provided by the health department.

Oaks ride three-point shooting to win over Westmont

By JACOB NORLING WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

ATHERTON — The Westmont men’s basketball team (14-13, 4-13 GSAC) overcame a 17-point deficit in the first half, but Menlo (15-11, 7-10 GSAC) rebuilt their lead in the second, ultimately beating the Warriors 84-70 Thursday in Atherton.

The Oaks refused to cool down from beyond the arc in the second half, hitting six of nine from three-point range as they put the game out of reach. Overall, the Oaks sank 10 of 19 from three-point range.

After Jalen Townsell drained a 3-pointer with 14:06 remaining in the first half, Westmont found themselves in an early 1010 tie with the Oaks. Then, the Oaks threw a game-changing punch at the Warriors, going on a 13-0 run over the next four minutes of play.

A layup from Tyler Austin put a pause on the run momentarily, but with 8:03 left in the half, a 3-pointer from Adam Orr gave Menlo a half-high 17 point lead at 31-14. The Oaks went on a 21-4 run during the six-minute span.

Then, with 7:44 left to play, Nate Meithof converted on a layup attempt and woke up a Westmont offense that proceeded to go on a 9-0 run to get back within single digits.

Menlo at one point went back up by 11, but a three from Jared Brown got the Warriors back within single digits, where they would stay for the remainder of the half.

Cly Griffith Jr. hit a pair of free throws in the final 30 seconds to pull Westmont back within four, before the Oaks made one last basket ahead of the halftime buzzer.

Westmont’s regular season finale is on Saturday at 4:00 p.m. against William Jessup in Rocklin. The Warriors will play in the first round of the GSAC Tournament next Wednesday night in Fullerton.

Regardless of the final basket, the Warriors went into halftime trailing by just six (42-36) after being down by nearly 20.

The Oaks shot 53% from the field (16-30) in the first half, while Westmont shot only 37.9% (11-29). At the break, Menlo had scored 12 points off of seven Westmont turnovers.

Westmont came out strong to start the second half, quickly tying the contest at 44 following threes from Brown and Townsell followed by a bucket from Griffith. Going into the first timeout of the half, with 15:51 remaining, the game was tied at 46.

Westmont went four minutes without scoring, two minutes before the timeout and two after, allowing the Oaks to build a sixpoint advantage. With under ten minutes to play, Westmont was still within six at 61-55.

Then, the 3-pointers began falling for the Oaks.

On their next three possessions, Menlo hit a trio of backbreaking three-pointers, stretching their lead to 70-58 with an even eight minutes remaining. After taking a minute off, Menlo proceeded to hit two more threes, and found

Westmont clinches top seed in women’s basketball tournament

By JACOB NORLING WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

ATHERTON — The Westmont women’s basketball team (223, 15-2 GSAC) won its eighth consecutive game on Thursday night, this time by a score of 59-50 against Menlo (15-10, 10-7).

Following the win over the Oaks, Westmont clinched the topseed in the Golden State Athletic Conference Tournament.

Westmont clinched the one seed due to owning the tiebreakers over both The Master’s and Hope International, while possessing a one-game lead for first place. The Warriors enter Saturday’s regular season finale with a win in between them and another standalone GSAC title.

“I’m just really proud of my guys for sticking with it tonight in a really physical game,” said Westmont head coach Kirsten Moore. “Nothing came easy and Menlo played really tough defense, but we stuck with it and worked together. We made a lot of big plays and showed our experience by coming through when we needed it.”

By their own standards, Westmont was late to the party on Thursday, making just two field goals over the first seven minutes of the contest. After a free throw by the Oaks opened the scoring, Laila Saenz drilled a 3-pointer to give Westmont the 3-1 advantage.

Then a layup and a three from Menlo gave the Oaks a 6-3 lead that left Westmont chasing for the majority of the first quarter. At one point, Westmont went nearly four minutes without scoring, with Saenz ending the drought with a layup to trim the deficit to 10-7 with 2:48 remaining.

A minute later, Iyree Jarrett gave the Warriors a temporary lead at 11-10 with a layup of her own, but at the end of the first quarter, the Oaks had done enough to carry a 14-13 lead into the short break.

Westmont shot just four of 12 from the field in the first quarter, while, uncharacteristically, committing four turnovers.

Westmont also surrendered five offensive rebounds to the Oaks.

Saenz scored the first basket of the second quarter, putting the Warriors up 15-14 with 8:28 left in the half. A minute and a half later, however, Menlo responded

with another 3-pointer, putting the Oaks up 17-15.

Then with 5:45 left in the period, Menlo stretched their lead to 19-15 following a jumper from Jordyn Rossette. Over the next two minutes, Destiny Okonkwo hit a free throw to pull Westmont back within three, and Saenz landed a shot from beyond the arc to tie the contest at 19.

With 3:06 to play, Jarrett kicked a pass out to Sydney Brown who launched a three-pointer as the shot clock sounded. Brown hit the shot to put the Warriors up 22-19, and Kaitlin Larson followed it up with a layup to put them up 24-19.

The club would not trail again.

On their final two possessions of the half, Jarrett drilled a three and Okonkwo converted a layup to cap off a 16-2 run. That run, over the final 5:15 of the period, gave Westmont a 31-21 lead going into halftime.

Early on in the third quarter, Westmont led by as many as 13.

However, the Oaks would not let the Warriors run away with the contest, and the home team closed out the period on a 14-5 run. Going into the fourth quarter, Westmont led 43-39.

Westmont did not score for the final two minutes of the third, nor did they for the first two minutes of the fourth, allowing Menlo to make it a one possession game.

With 7:33 left in regulation, Saenz hit another three-pointer, this time putting the Warriors back up by two possessions at 46-41.

With under five minutes to play, Westmont ran off a quick five-point swing that felt like the dagger. First, Larson converted another layup, and then, Saenz hit her fourth three-pointer of the night, giving Westmont a 53-43 lead with less than four minutes to play.

“I thought Laila had an incredible game tonight,” noted Moore. “She hit some big shots and really helped us on the boards as well.”

In the final minutes, Menlo never got back within less than six, and the Warriors were able to overcome their shooting woes to win it 59-50.

Westmont shot just 37.3% from the field (19-51) in the contest while committing 12 turnovers.

Fortunately for the Warriors, however, they held the Oaks to Please see WESTMONT on A6

themselves with a 17 point lead for the second time on the night.

Down 80-63 with five minutes remaining, Westmont was unable to close the gap, and dropped their fourth consecutive contest.

Overall, the Oaks shot well all night, finishing at a 55.4% clip (31-56), while the Warriors shot 40.3% (25-62). Menlo’s bench outscored the Warriors’ 32-8.

Individually, Meithof led the club with 19 points, while Griffith contributed with 16 of his own. Brown and Townsell were also in double figures with 14 and 11points, respectively. Griffith led the team with four rebounds while Townsell led the club with eight boards.

Westmont’s regular season finale is on Saturday at 4:00 p.m. against William Jessup in Rocklin. The Warriors will play in the first round of the GSAC Tournament next Wednesday night in Fullerton.

MORE ACCURATELY DESCRIBED AS: LOT 29 OF LINDA VISTA TRACT IN THE CITY OF SANTA BARBARA, COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA AS PER MAP RECORDED IN BOOK 40, PAGE 41 AND FOLLOWING OF MAPS, IN THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY RECORDER OF SAID COUNTY. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 2458 BORTON DRIVE, SANTA BARBARA, CA 93109 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $356,709.28 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 094898-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 094898-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

The site is currently developed with five existing greenhouses permitted under the original Development Plan, Case No. 82-DP-30, and one existing warehouse, which was permitted under a Modification to the Development Plan, Case No. 86-M-4. Of the existing 379,757 square feet of development, 356,070 square feet is currently used for cannabis cultivation as approved by Coastal Development Permit, Case No. 18CDP-00000-00077. The proposed processing building will be used for the storage, drying, trimming, and packaging of cannabis grown both on-site and off-site. Up to 50% of the product processed in the proposed processing building will be grown off-site. Proposed grading for the Project includes 1,400 cu. yd. of cut and 1,000 cu. yd. of fill. Other required site improvements include the construction of a new storm water detention basin and septic system. No vegetation or trees are proposed for removal.

External lighting will be provided by sixteen wall-mounted full cut-off LED motion detector lights on the east, north, and west sides of the proposed building near doorways. In addition to the existing vapor phase system, the odor control system will include a new vapor phase unit, carbon filters, air curtains at main doors, spray insulation, and HVAC and negative pressure within rooms most likely to create odors. The proposed building includes carbon filters in all processing areas, HVAC, air curtains on exterior doors, spray insulation within the building, and negative pressure throughout the building to reduce fugitive odors. Existing landscaping along Foothill Road screens the Proposed Project from public views. Two chillers associated with the HVAC system will be installed adjacent to the proposed building. Eight boilers will be installed throughout the property as well as five 3,000gallon water tanks. Ten 3,000-gallon water tanks will also be installed.

The proposed cannabis processing building will add up to 50 new full-time year-round employees in addition to the 30 full-time year-round employees for the existing cannabis cultivation operation, for a maximum of 80 full-time year round employees for the entire cannabis operation on the property.

The Proposed Project will add 18 parking spaces, including two ADA spaces, to the existing 36 parking spaces, for a total of 54 parking spaces. The operator will lease at least one 15-passenger van through CalVans (or a similar third party company) to provide daily roundtrip weekday vanpool transportation for employees commuting from Ventura County to the Project site for the life of the Project. All employee parking will be on-site and no employee parking on public roads is allowed.

The hours of operation for the processing building will be 6:00 am to 3:30 pm, seven days a week.

Two emergency generators will be installed for backup power in case of an outage. Water for the processing building and all domestic uses on-site will be provided by the Carpinteria Valley Water District. The proposed processing building will contain two restroom areas for the use of employees.

Wastewater treatment will be handled by a new septic system. Primary access to the site will continue to be provided through an existing easement on the neighboring parcel to the west (APN 005-280-015), which connects to Via Real. The property is a 14.66-acre parcel zoned Agricultural I (AG-I-10), shown as Assessor’s Parcel Number 005-280-040, addressed as 3561 Foothill Road in the Toro Canyon Community Plan area, First Supervisorial District.

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.

more likely to want to look within, perhaps to experiment with your own psychic abilities or study spiritual concepts. You also might find yourself more interested than usual in the arts, particularly that which comes from other cultures.

Y SCORPIO — Financial considerations could delay the start of a new project that you’ve wanted to begin for a long time, Scorpio.

Perhaps you don’t quite have the funds you need, or maybe the cost is a bit higher than you expected.

Don’t sink into despair. This is only another temporary delay. Tighten the budget and make substitutions.

Use your innate ingenuity to work around it and the project should be right on schedule.

SAGITTARIUS — The day may be temporarily plagued by scandal of some sort, Sagittarius.

Some of your entourage, particularly women, may gather in conspiratorial gossip. Your curiosity will definitely be aroused, but don’t be tempted to join them. There is more to the situation than meets the eye, and you’ll want to know all the facts before jumping to conclusions.

CAPRICORN — You’re intuitive by nature, Capricorn, but today you’re likely to have a rush of psychic premonitions. Insights into your own character could bring old traumas to the surface so you can release them. Your dreams could be especially vivid and rather disconcerting, although not in a negative way. Write them down.

Your aesthetic sense is also very high.

AQUARIUS — Sex and romance are very much on your mind today, Aquarius. You’re feeling especially passionate, and your emotions are rich and deep. At times like this you’re likely to want to concentrate on your own pleasure, yet it’s important to be sensitive to your partner as well. Racy novels and movies could be especially appealing, and you might toy with the idea of shopping at Victoria’s Secret. Go for it!

PISCES — A family member could be feeling a little down, Pisces, and you may be tempted to give him or her a pep talk to get them going again. Don’t. They won’t respond to it, and this could create tension in the home. Your own self-confidence is probably at an all-time low. You tend to be your own worst critic in the best of times, but today you’re a bit confused. Try to be fair to everyone around you, especially yourself.

HOROSCOPE ARIES — Too much exposure to books, newspapers, and computers today could produce eyestrain headaches, Aries, so try to exercise a little caution when working with small print or computer text.

Thoughts of love and romance could interfere with your ability to do your work effectively. You may be tempted to spend most of your time on the phone.

TAURUS — By nature you’re a master psychologist, Taurus and you don’t need to know someone well to accurately assess his or her thoughts and motives. Today this ability goes far beyond psychology and borders on the psychic.

People’s feelings may jump out at you. Reading newspaper headlines gives you uncanny ideas about the future. You could also experience some intense and vivid dreams.

GEMINI — An emotional issue with a family member could have you wanting to run away and hide, Gemini. Don’t fight the urge. This may be just what you need in order to clear your mind regarding the problem and heal your wounded psyche before you face this person again.

CANCER — Emotional issues rooted in the past could leave you feeling inhibited today, Cancer.

You might also be a bit more touchy than usual and see insult where none is intended. Curb the impulse to take offense. Try to confront and release the old issues or at least promise yourself you’ll deal with them later.

LEO — Friction or other trouble on the job could cause you to want to quit, Leo, but worries about money might keep you from doing it. You definitely need to reassess your situation. Perhaps a change of position is just what you need now. You may have untapped talents that could make you more marketable, and you might also want to train those talents.

VIRGO — Your self-confidence could well be in the pits today, Virgo. Mistakes from the past could come back to haunt you, and you may be momentarily overcome by the fear that you’ll make similar errors again. Force yourself to be objective before you drive yourself crazy. It could cause you some unnecessary problems. Try to realize that you’re unique and that you have skills and talents that set you apart from everyone.

LIBRA — Generally, you tend to be a very physically oriented person, Libra, but today you’re

Newsom backs law for residents to sue gun Only William Jessup makers, says challengers will be ‘crushed’ stands between Warriors and title

By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – California politicians highlighted several bills on Friday that aim to address gun violence, including a new law shaped after Texas’ abortion law that would allow citizens to go after gun manufacturers.

Several lawmakers were joined by Gov. Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta to boost a batch of recently introduced gun bills Friday, at the Delmar Fairgrounds in San Diego. The package includes two bills that would allow residents to seek legal action against the gun industry.

Gov. Newsom backed a new bill, which will be filed by Senator Robert Hertzberg, DVan Nuys, allowing residents to sue anyone who manufactures, distributes, transports or imports into California, or sells guns that are designated assault weapons, .50 BMG rifles, ghost guns or ghost gun kits.

The push comes after Gov. Newsom called for legislation in December modeled after Texas’ law that limits abortion by allowing citizens to sue abortion providers.

“The Supreme Court of the United States opened up a door wide open,” Gov. Newsom said Friday. “We’re using their rules – those that they seemingly support coming out of the extreme anti-abortion legislation that came out

of Texas.

“If Texas can use a law to ban a woman’s right to choose and to put her health at risk, we will use that same law to save lives and improve the health and safety of the people in the state of California.”

The package of bills also includes a law introduced in January that would allow victims of gun violence and their families to sue gun makers and distributors for harm caused by their products.

Assembly Bill 1594, introduced by Assemblymembers Phil Ting (D-San Francisco), Mike Gipson (D-Carson) and Christopher Ward (D-San Diego) would allow members of the public and the attorney general to present civil suits against a manufacturer who fails to take precautions in marketing and distributing their products to keep them from being used unlawfully.

In 2005, the federal government passed the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which protects gun manufacturers from being liable for crimes committed with their products. The law contains an exception that allows citizens to bring forth civil suits against a gun manufacturer or distributor who “knowingly violates a state law regulating the sale or marketing of the product” and if that violation was the direct cause of harm, according to the attorney general’s office.

AB 1594 uses this exception in the federal statute to create a way for victims and their families to pursue legal action against gun manufacturers.

“This [bill] will rebalance the playing field and ensure that victims have as many paths to their day in court as they would for any other product,” Attorney General Rob Bonta said Friday.

“You can’t bring back the victims of gun violence we’ve lost, but we can ensure that their families have a path to justice,” Mr. Bonta added.

Gov. Newsom also highlighted two other bills Friday that aim to increase accountability in the firearms industry. Assembly Bill 1621 was introduced by Assemblymember Mike Gipson (D-Carson) in January to crack down on ghost guns in California, and Assembly Bill 2571 by Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan (DOrinda) would restrict certain categories of weapons from being marketed to minors.

When asked if he has concerns about the gun industry bringing forth a ballot initiative to overturn these laws, Gov. Newsom responded “bring it on.”

“People of California have no patience for their promotions,” Gov. Newsom said. “It will get crushed – if they do it, they will be crushed.

The public has no patience for these purveyors of violence and death.”

Westmont outrebounded Menlo 37-33, with the biggest difference in the ballgame being what the clubs did with their extra possessions.

While Menlo was able to grab 12 offensive boards, they turned that into only six second-chance points, while Westmont turned their 13 offensive rebounds into 18 extra points.

Individually, Jarett and Saenz both had 16 points, while Okonkwo joined them in double figures with 11. Jarret also led the club with six assists, while Brown led Westmont with nine rebounds.

“In a really physical game, Iyree came up big,” reflected Moore. “She didn’t get flustered and she stayed the course, leading us in assists and scoring some big buckets.

Everyone had moments for us tonight.

“Kaitlin was huge off the bench, giving us toughness and a spark. Destiny made some really big plays for us down the stretch as well.”

DE WITT, Jan

It is with great sadness that the family of Jan DeWitt announces his passing on January 29, 2022. Jan’s life adventures began in Mission Canyon in Santa Barbara with his brother and sister and included 46 years in the WHOHYLVLRQ DQG ÀOP LQGXVWU\ DGYHQWXUHV RQ WKH KLJK VHDV and calmer ones at home telling stories and entertaining his many groups of friends. His career in the industry began as a painter on sets, grew to unit production manager, and culminated as an executive producer on “Bones,” a Fox Television Production that ran over 12 seasons.

Spending long days at work or on location was standard for Jan as he loved his work and the people he worked with. Somehow, though, he managed to do what he loved most: spend time at the ocean, entertaining friends at his beloved Mission Canyon houses, and traveling in his treasured Airstream. One of his greatest joys was to bring people together, cook for them, tell stories, and share his home with them. His group of trusted friends ranged from those he went to elementary school with to work friends and others from all walks of life.

There is nothing, however, that gave him more pleasure and made him more proud than the day his daughter, Anika, was born. She was lucky enough to join him in his adventures, listening to stories, traveling, and having insights into a world that most people never dream of seeing. Anika and he were devoted to each other. It could be said that, on some levels, they probably helped raise each other. He taught her how to be ÀHUFHO\ LQGHSHQGHQW SULYDWH DQG WROHUDQW RI RWKHU SHRSOH·V WULDOV DQG WULEXODWLRQV 6KH taught him how to dress, keep the house clean, and on occasion, was successful getting him to keep the chickens out of the house.

Jan’s friend Mark Indig probably summed up Jan the best: “ It’s still hard to imagine him as anything but robust, always in motion and tough as nails. He was a Renaissance Man in a Farmer John package. There was nothing he couldn’t do and do better than most: break down and budget a script in 15 minutes, build a house, captain a boat, raise chickens, cook a pizza from scratch. You’d never know from his appearance or attitude that he had created a paradise on 4 acres in Mission Canyon in Santa Barbara, where everyone was welcome. Or that he often commuted there from long production hours in LA to spend time with his daughter.”

Helen Ramirez passed away on February 10, 2022 after a prolonged illness. She was born in El Paso, Texas to James and Velia (Montañez) Robinson. Her parents and her older sisters Yolanda and Irene, younger sisters Lillian and Ruby, and younger brother Louie all preceded her in death. On June 16, 1987 she also lost a son, David, to a motorcycle accident. Helen is survived by her husband Jose, children Susan Cavalli (Dave) and Joe, and grandsons Chayton and Talon Ramirez, grandson Matthew Cavalli (Kaylin) and their children Aydin, Paisley and Macie in Omaha, NE., and many cousins and nephews.

Jan’s impact on the world was far reaching. Everyone who met him, remembered him.

To simply say he will be greatly missed is an incredible understatement.

As dedicated as he was as a father, he was even more so as a grandfather.

RAMIREZ, Helen

The family would like to thank her primary physician Dr. Gerald Svedlow who treated her for over 25 years and became a dear friend; thanks to Dr. Jeffrey Gauvin, surgeon extraordinaire who saved her life and granted her extra years with us. And our gratitude to the staff of Visiting Nurses Association who provided loving care and support to her and to us.

Helen never met a person she didn’t like, and the feeling was mutual: she was loved by everyone who knew her. Her beautiful smile will be sorely missed by all.

Toasting women in wine and food Female winemakers, chefs and bakers to gather for annual celebration at Roblar Farm

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

As an early nod to International Women’s Day, the fifth annual “Women Winemaker Celebration” will showcase the talents of about 20 female winemakers in Santa Barbara County.

The event, from 1 to 4 p.m.

March 6 at Roblar Farm in Santa Ynez Valley, will once again benefit a women’s issue platform.

Proceeds from the 2022 gathering will be donated to Community Health Centers of the

Central Coast through the Santa Barbara Vintners Foundation, with funds earmarked specifically for women’s health needs in medically underserved families of northern Santa Barbara County.

“Our being able to safely gather in person, once again, is so symbolic of the triumph over what we’ve endured during the past two years,” said Karen Steinwachs, part of the event production team and co-founder of the annual celebration. “We’re looking forward to an engaging and welcoming afternoon with

our guests, and we’re so excited to have them taste the fruits of our collective labors … with us.”

The annual celebration will once again be a daytime happening, an intimate, alfresco wine tasting reception complete with elevated hors d’oeuvres.

The winemakers will be on hand to pour their wines and talk with event guests as passed and stationary appetizers are offered by one dozen female counterparts in the Santa Barbara County food world.

Adding to the event’s outdoor

ambience will be live music by Arwen Lewis, an interactive food and wine trivia challenge and the popular “estrogen collection” wine case opportunity drawing.

Participating winemakers and wineries include Ms. Steinwachs, Buttonwood Farm Winery & Vineyard and Seagrape Wine Co.; Lane Tanner, Lumen Wines; Brooke Carhartt, Carhartt Family Wines; Kathy Joseph, Fiddlehead Cellars; Sonja Magdevski, Casa Dumetz Wines, Clementine Carter, The Feminist Party; Alison Thomson, Lepiane Wines;

Brit Zotovich, Dreamcôte Wine Co.; and Tara Gomez and Mireia Taribó, Camins 2 Dreams.

Others are Gretchen Voelcker, Piazza Family Wines and Luna Hart Wines; Laura Roach, Loubud Wines; Jessica Gasca, Story of Soil; Wynne Solomon, Peake Ranch Winery; Samra Morris, Alma Rosa Winery; Alice Anderson, âmevive; Anna Clifford, Cambria Wines, Nielson Wines, and Final Girl Wines; Angela Soleno, Turiya Wines; and, Magan Eng, Kunin Wines.
