City officials: SB is drought ready Region enters severe drought, rain forecast for Sunday night

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

As of Thursday, Santa Barbara County is officially in a state of moderate to severe drought and half the state is in extreme drought conditions, but city officials say Santa Barbara’s water supply is in good shape compared to the last seven-year dry spell. Water conservation efforts in the community are to thank for that, considering it has been a decade since Lake Cachuma spilled, and it typically spills every three years. The South Coast’s main reservoir is currently at 60.7% capacity, which is a decrease of more than 26,000 acre-feet from last year, according to the county Public Works Department. During the worst of the drought, around 2016 and 2017, there was less than 25,000 acrefeet of water in the reservoir in total, but supply has increased with small hiccups since then, currently sitting at close to 125,000 acre-feet of water. Josh Haggmark, the city’s acting public works director, said that the fact that it has been this long without the lake spilling is “unprecedented,” but he remains optimistic about its current state. “I feel like we’re in a much different place than we were in 2012 and 2013,” he told the NewsPress. “We have a community that stepped up and is really doing a fantastic job with water conservation, so that has drastically put us in a different position than we were then.” Mr. Haggmark said the city is preparing for the worst case scenario, such as conditions similar to 2015, even though rain is expected early next week, according to David Sweet, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard. Mr. Sweet told the NewsPress there’s a 50% chance of rain Sunday afternoon, and the chance increases to 80% to 90% Sunday night. There’s also a 50% chance of rain early Monday. “There’s still a little bit of doubt about how fast this system will come through,” Mr. Sweet said, adding that some predict the system will pass over quickly in one day, while other models predict the system will linger over the county with a 20% chance of rain into Monday evening. “The rainfall amounts don’t look too impressive, with anywhere from a quarter to half an inch of rain in the lowlands and higher amounts, up to an inch of rain, in the mountains.” He said meteorologists are looking at equal chances of rain in all parts of the county. In addition, temperatures for the weekend will be cooler with the highs in the 50s and 60s and lows in the 40s, and mostly cloudy conditions. Thus, despite the incoming drizzle, the city is working on the status update of its water supply, which will be presented to the Santa Barbara City Council in

Concerns raised over 5G facilities By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

Several Santa Barbara residents are voicing concerns over the installation of small cell wireless facilities near their homes, urging local officials to use whatever power is available to slow site developers from expanding the new technology in residential areas. The proposed small cell wireless facilities are the newest development in the latest wireless innovation boom. The technology builds upon existing 4G infrastructure to install what developers say is the next level in wireless connectivity — 5G. Though 5G is still under development by cell carriers, the small cell facilities pave the way for the new technology to be deployed once it is finalized. While developers do acknowledge that wireless

installations radiate electromagnetic and radio frequencies, telecommunication officials say the radiation emissions are under control and safe to the general public based on regulations set by the Federal Communications Commission. However, community members across Santa Barbara are raising concerns over the potential impacts of consistent exposure to RF from the wireless facilities. Sage Shingle, a Santa Barbara resident who lives on Arroyo Road, is opposing the installation of a small cell wireless facility on a telephone pole that is 15 feet from his bedroom. His main concern centers on the unknown health impacts of being in close proximity to RF emitting from the facility. “I think that the concern maybe is that over the years we’ve come up with this new, latest Please see 5G on A6

As Santa Barbara County enters severe drought conditions and high fire season, city officials say they’re comforted knowing there’s 2.5 years worth of water supply in Lake Cachuma.

May. Currently, Santa Barbara is in a stage one water supply condition, meaning the water supply is adequate to meet no more than 90% of projected demands. At this time, the city has seven different water sources: Lake Cachuma, recycled water, desalination, Gibraltar/ Mission Tunnel, the conservation program, the State Water Project and groundwater. “We haven’t finished our analysis, but we’ll be taking a look at the groundwater basin,” Mr. Haggmark said. “Certain portions are doing better than others, but we may be able to restore that. We’ll be looking at it holistically to see what we need to do. “Cachuma’s in bad shape, but the amount of water that’s in Cachuma that belongs to the city right now is significant, and the reason for that is the operations of the desal plant have allowed us to bank that water in Cachuma instead of using that water from Cachuma.” Santa Barbara has roughly 2.5 years of water from Cachuma alone, he said, which sets the city up well for the coming drought. The city of Santa Maria began providing 100% groundwater supplies to customers ahead of the drought, but Cathy Taylor, the city of Santa Barbara’s water supply and services manager, told the News-Press that this doesn’t mean the city is “in any dire straits as far as water supply goes.” “It’s worthy of noting that (Santa Maria) is shifting to groundwater but they’re sitting on multiple years, if not decades, of groundwater they can use,” she said. “They’ve done a good job of managing their water supply.” Another factor working in Santa Barbara’s favor is the start of construction of the conveyance pipeline project, which could Please see DROUGHT on A3

According to city water officials, Lake Cachuma hasn’t spilled over for a decade, and it used to spill over every three years.

“Cachuma’s in bad shape, but the amount of water that’s in Cachuma that belongs to the city right now is significant and the reason for that is the operations of the desal plant have allowed us to bank that water in Cachuma instead of using that water from Cachuma,” said Josh Haggmark, Santa Barbara’s acting public works director.

The Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine will once again be distributed in the United States after an 11-day pause in distribution based on several instances of rare blood clots. A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory committee met Friday and advised clinics to resume the distribution of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine following a thorough review of rare instances of blood clots among half a dozen women who received the shot. According to a Food and Drug Administration press release, a total of 15 women are known to have developed blood clots after receiving the vaccine, and three have died. Despite these cases, officials from the FDA and CDC said in a statement that the “potential benefits outweigh its known and potential risks.” “Above all else, health and safety are at the forefront of our decisions,” CDC Director Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky said in a statement. “Our vaccine safety systems are working. We identified exceptionally rare events — out of millions of doses of the Janssen COVID-19 administered — and we paused to examine them more carefully. As we always do, we will continue to watch all signals closely as more Americans are vaccinated. I continue to be encouraged by the growing body of real-world evidence that the authorized COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective, and they protect people from disease, hospitalization, and death.” Officials said Friday that anyone receiving the J&J singledose shot will also receive an information sheet discussing the risks and describing the rare blood clotting disorder in further detail. Officials said the risk remains low and they will continue to monitor new developments. With the news breaking late

in the afternoon Friday, Dr. Henning Ansorg, the county’s public health officer, said he was unsure of when the distribution of the Johnson & Johnson shot would officially resume in Santa Barbara County. Prior to the pause, the vaccine only accounted for about 5% of the state’s total allocation of vaccines, and therefore, the 11-day break did not have a significant impact on the county’s vaccine rollout, Dr. Ansorg said. During Friday’s news conference, Dr. Ansorg discussed misinformation surrounding the vaccines, assuring the public that all of them are safe for pregnant women, have no impact on infertility and have shown no evidence of long term effects. “It is true the speed by which the COVID vaccines were developed is astounding,” Dr. Ansorg said. “But keep in mind, the underlying biotechnology has been studied for at least a decade and no corners were cut in completion of the mandatory phases necessary.” According to data from the County’s Public Health Department, 42% of Santa Barbara County residents have received at least one shot, and 27% are fully vaccinated. For those who are fully vaccinated, Dr. Ansorg said, it is safe to gather unmasked with other vaccinated people. On Friday, the Public Health Department reported 23 new cases of COVID-19 and one new death. The individual who died was between the ages of 50 and 69 and had underlying conditions. The South County unincorporated area reported six new cases Friday, Santa Barbara and Isla Vista reported five new cases, Santa Maria reported three new cases and Lompoc reported two new cases. The county has 153 total cases that are still infectious. In addition, the Sheriff’s Office reported Friday the Main Jail has no active cases of COVID-19 at this time, according to a press release. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

TRAFFIC, CRIME AND FIRE BLOTTER

Police investigating fatal shooting LOMPOC — The Lompoc Police Department is investigating a fatal shooting that left one man dead Thursday night. The shooting was reported around 5:35 p.m. in the 600 block of West Maple Avenue. Police located a 28-year-old man in his vehicle with multiple gunshot wounds. The victim was transported to a local hospital where he died of his injuries, police said. The investigation is ongoing and no arrests

State Route 1 reopens ahead of schedule MONTEREY COUNTY — Caltrans announced Friday that State Route 1 at Rat Creek in Monterey County is open to traffic, nearly two months ahead of its target date and a week ahead of the reopening date announced earlier this month. A full closure had been in place since Jan. 28 when a mudslide washed out 150 feet of the roadway. Crews began working immediately and started emergency repairs March 1. Favorable weather conditions in the area aided the completion of major construction in only 86 days. “There are few, if any, more iconic routes than Highway 1 — not just in California but anywhere in the world. What this road means to the local economy, to the people of this region and to all Californians is invaluable,” said Gov. Gavin Newsom, who attended the reopening today in Big Sur. “As we rebuild, we do so with the knowledge that the conditions that washed out this section of roadway will become more common in the future. We must fortify our infrastructure with climate resiliency in mind.” Caltrans phased construction to allow for the rapid reopening even as it completes

Caitlyn Jenner declares bid for governor By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Former Olympian, reality TV star, transgender activitist and longtime Republican Caitlyn Jenner announced on Twitter Friday morning that she is running for governor of California as the recall of Gov. Gavin Newsom proceeds. In a press release, Ms. Jenner’s campaign wrote that a formal announcement will follow in the coming weeks, but she filed her paperwork this morning to run, with the campaign slogan: “I’m in!” “California has been my home for nearly 50 years,” Ms. Jenner wrote on her newly launched campaign website. “I came here because I knew that anyone, regardless of their background or station in life, could turn their dreams into reality. But for the past decade, we have seen the glimmer of the Golden State reduced by one-party rule that places politics over progress and special interests over people. Sacramento needs an honest leader with a clear vision.” Gov. Newsom’s fate in the recall effort will be announced next week, and according to CBS News reporting, the sitting governor is likely facing a recall vote. The recall petition needs 1,495,709 signatures, and organizers say they collected more than that. As of March 11, nearly 82% of the signatures that have been verified (1,454,710) have been deemed valid. If the measure makes it to the ballot, reports say voters can expect an election in October or November. Voters will be asked whether they want to recall Gov. Newsom, and then who should replace him, which would then be chosen by an open election, whoever gets the most votes. Joseph Holland, the county’s ClerkRecorder, said earlier this month that the effort “looks like it will pass,” which would leave the county with more than $2 million in election costs. Talk of Ms. Jenner’s run for governor began a couple weeks ago, and in her announcement Friday, she said that career politicians have “over-promised and under-delivered” for “too long.” “I have been a compassionate disrupter throughout my life, from representing the United States and winning a gold medal at the Olympics to helping advance the movement for equality. As Californians, we face a now-or-never opportunity to fundamentally fix our state before it’s too

late. Taking on entrenched Sacramento politicians and the special interests that fund them requires a fighter who isn’t afraid to do what is right. I am a proven winner and the only outsider who can put an end to Gavin Newsom’s disastrous time as governor.” She said that residents are living in “Gavin Newsom’s California, where he orders us to stay home but goes out to dinner with his lobbyist friends.” Bobbi McGinnis, the county’s Republican Party chair, told the NewsPress that she thinks Ms. Jenner’s bid for governor is “wonderful.” “This shows the new Republican Party of California, that we welcome transgenders, we welcome gays, we welcome people of all ethnicities,” she said. “We are a broad-based organization and we just want common sense, responsible government. I don’t know enough about her background or if this is a person who would make a good governor or be able to give us the regulations and rulings that we need … We just need competent leadership.” Ms. McGinnis referred to President Joe Biden’s recently announced capital gains tax proposal, which is expected to almost double the tax rate paid by the wealthy. “It’s going to hurt the working class and the poor of America, and that’s what the Republican Party now represents,” she said. “Not only do we have a much broader tent, but we represent the working people, the taxpayers of our state, county and country.” The Republican chair added that if Ms. Jenner’s goals align with that of the party’s, an endorsement could be given. Ms. Jenner endorsed former President Donald Trump in 2016, but later retracted her endorsement, writing in a Washington Post op-ed in 2018, “Sadly, I was wrong. The reality is that the trans community is being relentlessly attacked by this president.” Equality California, the nation’s largest statewide LGBTQ+ civil rights organization, tweeted upon Ms. Jenner’s announcement, “Make no mistake: we can’t wait to elect a trans governor of California. But Caitlyn Jenner spent years telling the LGBTQ+ community to trust Donald Trump. We saw how that turned out. Now she wants us to trust her? Hard pass.” Visit http://caitlynjenner.com/ to learn more about her campaign. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

LOMPOC — The city of Lompoc is set to receive $13.19 million in federal economic relief funding through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, and city officials want the community’s input on how the money will best be spent improving the city. There are a number of proposed projects to use the money for, including: specific improvements in the police and fire departments; library additions and renovations; parks and recreation projects; public works upgrades; and community benefit funds, including a nonprofit recovery fund, a small business recovery and development fund, “Help Our Neighbors” utility support and the Lompoc beautification fund. To gather feedback from Lompoc residents regarding priorities for American Rescue Plan Act funding, the city of Lompoc has established an online community survey that will be available now through May 14 on the city’s website at www.cityoflompoc.com. Feedback from the survey will be provided to Lompoc City Council to be used during the upcoming budgeting process. Before taking the survey, community members are asked to review descriptions of each of the proposed city projects at: www. cityoflompoc.com/community/community-survey.

remaining tasks during the next few months, including tunneling to install the primary drainage culvert that will pass from the canyon, through the roadway and out into the ocean. An inch thick and 10 feet in diameter, this steel pipe will substantially improve water flow capacity during future storms. Caltrans already has installed three culverts closer to the highway grade for a drainage system designed to make the highway more resilient to extreme weather conditions. “We’re pleased to announce the accelerated opening of Highway 1 at Rat Creek, and that residents, business owners, recreationalists and those who deliver goods can safely travel on this repaired stretch of highway,” Caltrans Director Toks Omishakin said in a statement. “While our emergency work continues to increase the resiliency of this highway to severe weather, Highway 1 is now reconnected and ready for use.” Caltrans also still needs to install permanent guardrail in place of the temporary K-rail, finalize grading features and place erosion control measures on both sides of the roadway. The remaining construction work may require intermittent traffic control with delays of up to 10 minutes. Message and directional signs will alert motorists of traffic control. Caltrans reconnected the roadway by filling the canyon with 45,000 cubic yards and constructing a new road on top of it. Caltrans estimates the total cost of the repair project and storm damage cleanup is $11.5 million. The project contractor is Papich Construction of Arroyo Grande.

SANTA MARIA — Pioneer Valley High School students are earned high honors this week, from scholarships to leadership positions. Senior Evelyn Letona Robles was awarded the 2021 Gates Scholarship, a prestigious award providing the full cost of attendance to earn a bachelor’s degree. The program seeks outstanding, minority high-school seniors from low-income households. Gates Scholars also participate in online support services and mentorship to prepare them for their career. “Please join me in celebrating the outstanding accomplishments of this extraordinary young

woman,’’ said Panther social science department co-chair and AVID advisor Kevin Ilac. Evelyn, an AVID student, is attending Yale University as a Questbridge Scholar, another prestigious program that selects just 300 students out of 35,000 applicants. Two students from PVHS’s Future Farmers of America chapter Gillian Villa and Elizabeth Beebe were elected president and vice president of the South Coast region FFA office. “We are all so proud of these two young ladies,” agriculture advisor Natalie Baldwin said in a news release. “They have worked extremely hard and we can’t wait to see what else they accomplish in the upcoming year. “They are both already leaders in our chapter, and now they will get to expand their skills and grow even more as leaders. It is especially exciting, as Gillian has made history. She is the first student ever at Pioneer Valley to

Community rallies around musician after attack By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

A GoFundMe established in support of downtown musician Bruce Goldish has already tripled its original goal as a result of community support for the beloved musician who was allegedly attacked and injured outside of the Arlington Theatre on State Street last Saturday. Grey Bear Erickson, another local Santa Barbara music artist, started the GoFundMe page Wednesday to provide financial assistance to Mr. Goldish as he recovers from a fractured wrist and lacerated hand as a result of an alleged attack that occurred last Saturday evening. On the page, Mr. Erickson explained that an unknown man approached Mr. Goldish outside the Arlington Theatre and pushed him down before stealing his tip money. After hearing about the attack from Mr. Goldish directly, Mr. Erickson said in a video posted to the GoFundMe page that he “got a deep feeling in his gut” that he had to do something to help. “What this money is for — it’s a direct action against what happened to him to let him know how much this community cares about him in a financial sense,”

Mr. Erickson said. He later added, “It’s not okay that we have a community where our local musicians are not even safe out on the streets,” Mr. Erickson said in the video. Mr. Erickson said he initially met Mr. Goldish when he was 18 and just starting out as a musician in Santa Barbara, adding that the beloved guitarist has been playing on the streets of the city for decades now. “Bruce has just held such a special place in my heart over the years for his journey, for what he does, for why he plays and his continued ability to always be there in Santa Barbara, giving us a soundtrack to what is the downtown life,” Mr. Erickson said in the video. Mr. Goldish announced on his Facebook page that he intended to return to the Arlington Theatre to play guitar Friday after a hand surgeon cleared him to play guitar. The GoFundMe for Mr. Goldish will remain active through the weekend and has already raised more than $3,200 dollar as of Friday afternoon.

be elected as regional President.” As candidates, they interviewed and recorded speeches. “The whole process was one of the most stressful, rewarding, and most fun experiences that I have gone through,’’ Gillian said in a statement. “When the results were posted, my mom and I were on the road when I pulled over in a parking lot to watch the video. “Seeing my name being announced as the 2021-2022 South Coast Regional President left me speechless while my mother embraced me in a hug. The theme of my candidate speech was family, and I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for my family — both at home and with my FFA family. I am so honored to represent Pioneer Valley and to be serving on the regional officer team, and I am ready to embrace the year ahead.” The South Coast region encompasses the area from San Jose to Los Angeles, covering

Official: Pre-treatment issues resolved DROUGHT

Continued from Page A1 convey 10,000 acre-feet of water annually. “This will allow us to move desalinated water anywhere in the city, which will be powerful for us should we find ourselves in a fire and need to be able to get water to different parts of the city and not having access potentially to Cachuma or Gibraltar,” Mr. Haggmark said. “We’re continuing to make progress on projects that are going to make our community more resilient and sustainable in the long run.” Ms. Taylor echoed the confidence in supply should the city experience a wildfire event. She said after the Zaca Fire in 2007, the city had issues with the pre-treatment process but took care of them. In addition, during the last drought, the desal plant was under renovation so it was offline, lessening the water supply. Now, the plant is up and operating. “We’ve responded to each (drought) and gotten better and better at hardening our water supplies,” she said. “We’re seeing the benefits of that with the three years of water supply we have in Cachuma alone, but again, the community does an amazing job with helping us with their conservation efforts. We look at their conservation efforts

as a water supply for us.” The water supply manager added that, relative to the height of the seven-year drought, the community was conserving 40% of what it was using prior to drought conditions. Today, the city is still conserving approximately 25% of what it was using before the most recent drought. Mr. Haggmark mentioned the upcoming 3% water rate increase for Santa Barbara residents, and that any time water supply discussions surface, so does the importance of discussing the reasons behind prices. There will be a public meeting on the rate increase Thursday, and the hearing is set for the city council on June 15. “We’ve tried to put this rate increase off as long as we can, but it really goes into continuing to maintain that infrastructure that’s so vital to delivering water,” he said. “Keep in mind, it’s all connected — our ability to be responsive to climate change, drought and fires is all dependent on continual maintenance of our infrastructure and that’s exactly what’s embedded in those rates.” To learn more about the city’s water supply, visit the city’s website at santabarbaraca. gov and go to “Water Supply & Drought Planning.” email: gmccormick@newspress.

Back-to-back homers power Chargers past San Marcos, 5-4 By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Just one replay of Caitlyn Early’s Wednesday, walk-off home run against Lompoc was enough for Dos Pueblos High softball coach Mike Gerken on Friday. He didn’t give the San Marcos High star another chance, intentionally walking her three straight times as the Chargers rallied behind the back-to-back homers of Bella Muno and Riley Monroe for a 5-4 victory on the Royals’ diamond. “I’ve known Caitlyn since she was 4 years old,” Gerken said. “I haven’t seen her hit in like three years, and seeing it one time was enough for me today.”

The victory pulled DP (7-2, 4-1 Channel League) into a first-place tie with Lompoc, just a half-game ahead of the Royals (5-4, 3-1). Early, whose homer ended Wednesday’s extra-inning victory against the Braves, started the bottom of the first inning with a long drive over the left-field fence. Her next turn at bat came in the second after the Royals had loaded the bases with one out on hits by Iza Velasquez, McKenzie Mendoza and Emma Foster. Gerken promptly gave Early the Babe Ruth treatment by walking her intentionally to force in a run and put San Marcos ahead 2-1. Gigi Gritt then hit a comebacker to DP pitcher Georgia Wilson who promptly turned a home-to-first double play. “I’ve walked somebody intentionally only twice — ever — even back in the rec league,” Gerken said. “But that home run almost hit the house (outside the school field) and I didn’t feel like messing with that again. “I have seen the newspaper, and I saw that she went 4-for-5 against some really good pitching. I saw what she did against Rio Mesa. I mean, you don’t walk nobodies, and she is certainly somebody to be reckoned with. Today just wasn’t the day to reckon with it.” The Royals extended their lead to 3-1 with a two-out rally in the third on consecutive hits by Camilla Morales, Velasquez and Mendoza. DP started strong with Mia Reveles’ first-inning double and Monroe’s RBI single. Monroe went 3-for-4 in the game while Reveles was 2-for-4. San Marcos pitcher Allie Fryklund settled down after Monroe’s first hit, retiring 13

straight Chargers. She got the first two outs of the fifth when Lacy Spear’s hard smash was mishandled. Gerken then turned his two speedy Chargers loose. Spear took two bases on Reveles’ drag-bunt single. Reveles then stole second base, and Spear raced home on the throw-down. “We’ve got to find a way to stop the bleeding in those kind of innings,” San Marcos coach Jeff Swann said. “It’s happened maybe just a couple of times, but against really good teams. Against Newbury Park, that happened, and against Rio Mesa, too. “Good hitting teams will take advantage of that.” Two good hitters did just that: Muno blasted her two-run shot to center to put DP ahead 4-3. Monroe followed that in the next

at-bat with her homer to left. “The season got cut short last year and I think we would’ve seen this from them last year, honestly,” Gerken said. “They were hitting the ball very well when the season ended, and I see it every day in practice. “I knew it was going to happen. Neither one had hit a home run yet this year — a couple have hit the fence. Today was a great day for them to hit their first home runs of the year.” The Royals didn’t go down quietly, however. Mendoza led off the sixth with her third hit of the game, took second on a ground out and, after Early’s third base on balls, raced home on Gritt’s single to right. “She hits the ball well,” Swann said of Mendoza. “She’s actually Please see SOFTBALL on A6

Caines steps down as Dos Pueblos football coach By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Doug Caines tendered his resignation on Friday after three seasons as Dos Pueblos High’s head football coach. His announcement comes just one week after the Chargers’ 34-24 victory over rival San Marcos to end a delayed and shortened COVID-19 season. Caines served as DP’s head coach since the 2018 and was an assistant for three seasons, which included the Chargers’ CIF runner-up season of 2017. “I am so thankful and appreciative for the energy, enthusiasm and passion that Doug brought to our football program,” DP athletic director Dan Feldhaus said. “He was a key part of one of the most successful eras of Charger Football and he has left an indelible mark on our program.” Caines was also the head coach at Santa Barbara High from 2012-2014. “It has been a dream come true to lead young men and women into adulthood for the last 13 years as a coach in our community,” he said. “The commitment to leading our athletes is something I take very seriously and do with great pride. “I would never dream of giving anything less than my all to this role. As a boy who grew up without a father, I know firsthand how important positive male role models are, especially for young men in our community. This is what kept me in coaching. “It is that same knowledge that has caused me to reflect and take a step back and prioritize my family. I feel proud knowing our community is better, even if only slightly, due to the experiences and knowledge I have shared with student-athletes over the last decade.” Caines plans to remain in his position as a media arts teacher. “I want to thank Doug for putting his heart and soul into our football program for the past six years, and for all his efforts in mentoring our student athletes both on and off the field,” principal Bill Woodard said. “I’m pleased that Doug will remain at Dos Pueblos HS as a member of our faculty in our outstanding Media Arts/Video Production pathway. “We will immediately begin the search for the next coach to lead our program, and I continue to be excited about the future of Charger football.” MEN’S VOLLEYBALL

PATH provides update on operations By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Friday morning, leadership from People Assisting the Homeless Santa Barbara provided a virtual update for the public and elected officials on the organization’s work to address homelessness. Presentations were given on pandemic impacts, Project Homekey, interim housing, rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing and employment. A Q&A session followed, and both Santa Barbara Mayor Cathy Murillo and Mayor Pro Tem Oscar Gutierrez were in attendance. “I fully support your operations. I know how difficult it is,” Mayor Murillo said to the leaders of PATH. “We work with SBACT and City Net and we have these broad goals of more housing, more supportive housing, more case management, and then there’s just the day-to-day fires that we’re putting out — very hard work, and nobody knows better than you how hard it is to help folks who present with these challenges and do it in a humane way.” PATH leadership that presented during the Zoom meeting included Joel John Roberts, PATH CEO; Jennifer Hark Dietz, PATH deputy CEO; Tessa Madden Storms, PATH Santa Barbara regional director; and Zachary Schlagel, PATH senior director of public policy. By the numbers, leadership reported that PATH Santa Barbara — since merging with Casa Esperanza in 2015 — has served more than 3,500 people. Nearly 600 have found employment or increased income, and 475 have made it into a home. PATH made its interim housing available during COVID-19 as well, including 100 beds for men and women. Of those beds, 20 are supported by Cottage Health; 24 by County Behavioral Wellness; and 56 by PATH, with referrals from Goleta, Santa Barbara Police, County Probation and County Adult Protective Services.

Regarding employment, staff reported that PATH has been providing the following services: a career and vocational skills assessment; development of a customized Individual Employment Plan; Soft Skills training (interview skills); access to a full-service computer lab; training workshops such as resume building, employment law and email 101; job retention services; life skill and money management support; and supplementary item support. The organization has also been moving individuals through the rapid re-housing to permanent supportive housing process. In rapid re-housing, short-term financial assistance and supportive services are provided to quickly connect individuals and families with permanent housing. Permanent supportive housing (the first of its kind in Santa Barbara) is long-term leasing or rental assistance paired with supportive services to assist homeless persons with a disability to achieve housing stability. Jonathan Castillo dove into the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee, which launched Listen, Learn and Lead initiative in June 2020. He referenced a study released in 2016 that showed that 13% of the general population identifies as black, but within the homeless system, 60% of individuals experiencing homelessness identify as black. In the initiative training, he said leaders and staff members use a racial equity lens to look at systemic racism as it relates to homelessness. PATH’s COVID-19 response produced a PATH Cares Emergency Staff Task Force to make critical organizational decisions and began tele-case management as a safe alternative to inperson services. Most notably, in four months, the organization launched six COVID-19 emergency housing sites, including the Project RoomKey noncongregate shelter in Santa Barbara. It’s also working on opening four Project HomeKey supportive housing

sites in Los Angeles and San Diego. In regards to Project RoomKey, Mayor Murillo said, “I could fall and kiss the ground. Those kinds of resources? Exactly what we need.” Priority legislation was also presented in the update, including: Assembly Bill 71 (PATH’s top priority), which would provide ongoing funding in the state budget to support ending homelessness; AB 115, which allows for affordable housing in transitfriendly commercially zoned areas; AB 369, which creates presumptive eligibility for Medi-Cal for individuals experiencing homelessness and allows health care providers to be reimbursed for street medicine; and Senate Bill 424, which begins a new state tax credit for employers who hire individuals experiencing homelessness, among numerous others. Ms. Madden Storms, the regional director, said that PATH Santa Barbara sees, out of homeless individuals coming in, 65% men and 35% women. “But it does seem like we’ve seen, unfortunately, more women experiencing homelessness in the past six to 12 months,” she said. “And we do tend to see an older population come through at least the shelter program.” Cleveland Foy, an attendee of the Zoom meeting, was homeless at one point and said PATH opened its doors to him. “The energy and motivation of the staff every day really helped me,” he said. “Everyone was always smiling. My case managers really kept me alive and they didn’t play any games, which kept me straight and narrow... “I have been to a lot of places in Santa Barbara that have turned me away even as a veteran, but PATH opened its doors to me, so I thank you very much.” Visit https://epath.org/regions/santabarbara-central-coast/ to learn more about the homeless shelter’s operations. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

FCC, FDA, WHO agree no adverse effects tied to wireless exposure 5G

Continued from Page A1 and greatest thing, and in the long term, we’ll realize, oh maybe that wasn’t the greatest for us from a health perspective,” Mr. Shingle told the News-Press. “And so that’s kind of the concern. I think a concern for me is certainly (that) this (technology) hasn’t been around for a long time. And we don’t want to be the guinea pigs.” Mr. Shingle is not alone in his concerns. A number of other community members share this same hesitation and concern over the potential and unknown health impacts of RF exposure. Alec Chambers is a Santa Barbara resident who lives on Ben Lomond Drive, where site developer Crown Castle has proposed the installation of a small cell wireless facility. The wireless device, if approved and permitted by the county, would sit about 40 feet from Mr. Chamber’s second-story office window where he works for most of his day. “My concern is the level of signal and the possible health effects,” Mr. Chambers said. “I’m a kidney transplant recipient, I’m on immune suppressants for life. And I don’t know for sure what kind of connection there might be, but it concerns me.” The health impacts of cell towers is highly contested and debated among medical experts, scientists and telecommunication giants. The FCC, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the World Health Organization agree that there are not currently any adverse effects tied to wireless device use and exposure. Crown Castle, the site developer in charge of installing small cell wireless facilities in Santa Barbara, utilizes evidence from the FDA and FCC to verify the safety of their devices. However, some national organizations say more evidence is needed. A statement on the American Cancer Website reads, “there’s no strong evidence that exposure to RF waves from cell phone towers causes any noticeable health effects. However, this does not mean that the RF waves from cell phone towers have been proven to be absolutely safe. Most expert organizations agree that more research is needed to help clarify this, especially for any possible long-term effects.” Though many governmental organizations say there are no adverse effects currently known, others raise concerns over the validity of these claims. According to Miriam Lindbeck, the president of SafeTech Santa Barbara County, radio waves emitted from wireless technology can cause neurological issues, exacerbate existing conditions and contribute to the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Electromagnetic frequency scientists and experts are also raising concerns over the potential impacts. In a 2019 appeal to the United Nations, a group of 247 EMF scientists signed a statement that claimed EMF exposure that is well under international and national guidelines can increase cancer risk, cause damage to reproductive systems, create learning and memory deficits and have “negative impacts on general well-being in humans.” Aside from the contested health impacts, residents are also posing questions over

the validity of evidence presented by site developer Crown Castle about the true RF emissions coming from their devices. While multiple residents have voiced concerns over health impacts from the devices, others have raised concern over the impact the devices could have on property value. Alan Gallegos, a resident who lives on Ben Lomond Drive, is urging the county to request an alternate site analysis for a proposed small cell wireless facility that would be installed on an existing telephone pole at the edge of his property. Mr. Gallegos is primarily concerned about how it would impact the value of his home as well as the aesthetic impact on the neighborhood. “I’ve been told by real estate professionals that if you had this exact house somewhere else, or side by side, and one had an antenna and one didn’t, the value would be more for the one that doesn’t have an antenna,” Mr. Gallegos told the News-Press. “And they are 100% adamant about that. So devaluation is occurring.” While residents have continuously voiced these concerns to the county, many are feeling their concerns are not being taken into account by the county or by Crown Castle. “There’s this feeling of helplessness … There’s no real consideration of the community with regard to placing towers for the (wireless) facility,” Mr. Shingle said. As the federal law stands, local jurisdictions are limited on what they can do to prevent the placement of small cell wireless facilities in certain areas so long as companies are following FCC regulations, Lisa Plowman, the director of the county Planning and Development Department, told the News-Press by phone on Friday. “We have limitations that are imposed on us by the Federal Communications Commission,” Ms. Plowman said. “We don’t have the ability to control those in terms of where they’re located. We can’t tell them that they have to move.” Essentially, the main recommendation county officials are giving residents is to appear before the county’s South Board of

flawlessly, with eight assists and two putouts. The last one was a quick-reaction snag of a line drive by Tiana Monaghan. “If she weren’t a pitcher, she might be our starting shortstop or second baseman,” Gerken said. “She is a great fielder. She has great reactions and great instincts.” Wilson did have to survive one more at-bat by Mendoza, who launched a long fly ball to center that Reveles caught just before the fence to end the game.

Architectural Review in a meeting May 7 and voice their concerns in a final meeting before the board will decide whether or not to award permits for the small cell projects. However, SBAR is responsible for aesthetic considerations when overviewing the permitting process and does not take health considerations into their decision making, according to Joseph Dargel, the supervising planner for the county Planning and Development Department. “(SBAR) is an aesthetics review board. So they do have the ability to apply aesthetics comments in order to make sure that the projects are compatible with the neighborhood from an aesthetics point of view,” Mr. Dargel said. “That does give them the ability to ask for alternative sites so to look at different sites to see which sites are most appropriate for an area.” In response to a News-Press request for comment inquiring whether Crown Castle would consider alternate sites for the proposed small cell facilities, officials responded that the decision was primarily made to fill gaps in service coverage. “Crown Castle carefully considered the placement of our small cells in Santa Barbara, including input from Santa Barbara County, as well as federal, state and local law and ordinances,” Scott Longhurst, government affairs manager said in a statement to the News-Press. “The locations ultimately chosen will address coverage and capacity gaps with the least significant impact by using existing infrastructure, as was the case at Arroyo Road and Ben Lomond. Our small cells are typically installed on existing right of way infrastructure, such as streetlights or utility poles.” Though the review board only takes aesthetic considerations into their decision making and the county says they are unable to halt the wireless expansion based on FCC guidelines, the city of Santa Barbara is currently working on an ordinance that would give them as much local control as possible over the upcoming 5G rollout. The city has drafted an ordinance that includes a section listing preferred and nonpreferred locations for the installation of small cell wireless facilities. Preferred areas include industrial zones and areas near Highway 101, while nonpreferred zones include residential neighborhoods, schools and hospitals, John Doimas, assistant city attorney, told the News-Press. “We recognize that federal law preempts a lot of this, so we wanted to have an ordinance that gave the city the greatest local control it could have,” Mr. Doimas said. He added, “We’re not taking (the health concerns) lightly, and that’s why we created the preferred locations.” In addition to the preferred and nonpreferred areas, the ordinance would also require wireless companies to provide an independent review for proof that new facilities are needed in areas near public parks, schools and hospitals. The ordinance is currently in the review stages, and the city is hoping to have a draft to review at the beginning of May, Mr. Doimas said. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

UCSB students help improve seniors’ cognitive function By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Even throughout the pandemic, teams of UCSB students interested in helping improve local seniors’ cognitive function have been interacting with residents virtually. UCSB’s Brain Exercise Initiative — a nationwide nonprofit at 49 different universities focused on preventing memory loss through brain exercise — pairs local seniors with UCSB students to do simple math, reading and writing exercises. The program is based on studies by a Japanese neuroscientist, Dr. Ryuta Kawashima, who found that doing simple math, reading and writing

for 30 minutes a day, five days a week, showed improvements in cognitive functioning for those with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. Following up on this discovery, a team of researchers in the Psychology Department at UCSB, Drs. Bianca Acevedo and Nancy Collins, are studying the cognitive and health effects of a web-based brain training program for healthy adults ages 60 to 85 years old. The study is completely virtual so that individuals can partake in all activities from the comfort of their homes. Overall, the study seeks to explore if doing simple exercises improves cognitive function. UCSB’s chapter virtually works

with residents from Mission Villa, the Californian, Covenant Living at the Samarkand, the Oak Cottage of Santa Barbara Memory Care, Villa Alamar Memory Care, Vista del Monte, Wood Glen Hall, Lompoc Valley Medical Center’s Comprehensive Care Center and Mariposa at Ellwood Shores. The research team is actively seeking participants, so any community members who are curious and would like to join the study should email ucsantabarbarabei@ gmail.com or visit https://www. brainexerciseinitiative.com/. email: gmccormick@newspress. com

Native American activist to speak Tuesday By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

How do Indigenous rights fit into our current model of democracy? UCSB’s Walter H. Capps Center for the Study of Ethics, Religion and Public Life will attempt to address this question and related issues of place, identity and sacred land rights in an upcoming talk with Native American activist Nick Tilsen. The event, “Land Back and Ethics in Place: A Conversation with Nick Tilsen,” will take place from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday via Zoom. It is free and open to the public. Mr. Tilsen, who will be speaking with Greg Johnson, Capps Center director, is the president and CEO of NDN Collective, an Indigenousled organization dedicated to building Indigenous power through activism. He is a member of the Oglala Lakota Nation and a major figure in the Native

American rights movement in the United States. Mr. Tilsen’s strong track record of intersectional involvement includes an arrest while leading a protest before former president Donald Trump’s visit to Mount Rushmore in 2020, work in the trenches with Black Lives Matters representatives on combating police violence and a history of engaging with issues of environmental justice. The talk is the culminating event in the Capps Center’s yearlong exploration of contemporary Indigenous ethics, “Ethics in Place: A Symposium on Indigenous Peoples and the Future of Principled Democracy.” The Ethics in Place symposium was designed to focus on what Mr. Johnson calls “knowledge

production outside of university settings” and has featured a slew of speakers who are not academics, including Walter EchoHawk, president of the Pawnee Nation; Caleen Sisk, chief of the Winnemem Wintu Tribe; Justice Gregory Bigler of the Muscogee Creek Nation Tribal Court; and Pua Case, a Native Hawaiian ceremonial leader. Mr. Johnson says that he looks forward to continuing this theme in his talk with Tilsen, whom he plans to ask a range of questions, both about his history as an activist and, more broadly, about the core themes of the Capps Center — ethics and public engagement. “His star is rising,” Mr. Johnson said of Mr. Tilsen. “It is hard to get on social media and not see the imprint of his work. Frankly, we are lucky to get a piece of his time, and I can’t wait to introduce him to our community.” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

Diversions horoscope • puzzles

ARIES — Some of your job responsibilities are too much for one person and they might weigh you down today, Aries. The pile of work seems to get steadily bigger no matter what you do. Delegate if you can. Put the least urgent tasks aside and work your way steadily the rest. Your employer may or may not expect too much of you, but you’re entitled to your sanity no matter what. TAURUS — A sudden fascination with metaphysical or spiritual concepts could have you wanting to read as much as you can on the subject, Taurus. Your enthusiasm could lead you in a dozen different directions, which could eventually lead to mental overload. It might be a better idea to take one subject at a time than try to learn about them all at once. Stay focused! GEMINI — A business enterprise with a friend might seem a little shaky today, Gemini. You could alternate between enthusiasm and gloom regarding this project. It’s probably a good one and could lead to the success you want. Don’t make any negative judgments about its future based on what happens today. All should be progressing again within a few days. Hang in there! CANCER — A business deal that you may have been working to finish could require you to tie up a lot of loose ends today, Cancer. You might be pulled in a lot of different directions. Don’t panic! Get some help if you can. Make a list of what you have to do and cross each task off as it’s completed. Stay focused and all should go well. You will achieve the results you want. LEO — Accomplishing some important business might require touching base with many people who live and work far away, perhaps in other countries. This might require that you spend a lot of time on the phone, and it also would require allowing for the different time zones, which could be a drag. You will eventually make the contacts you need, even if they don’t come until tomorrow. VIRGO — If you’ve been thinking about investing, Virgo, this isn’t the day to commit to anything. This is a great day to consider your options, study economic trends, and analyze what you want from investing. It isn’t a good day to hand over the money. Land could be a strong possibility. Consult with professionals, read the papers, and look into all kinds of opportunities before committing Monday, to one. November 16, 2015

LIBRA — Working at home could be difficult today, especially if you’re finalizing a business deal, Libra. Other household members will be coming and going, slamming doors, asking questions, bringing their friends in. If you’re doing household chores, forget it for now and return to it when it’s quieter. If you’re approaching a deadline, close the door and tell others to leave you alone for a while. SCORPIO — Today you might feel the urge to get all unfinished work done, Scorpio. You could suddenly be in a frenzy to work quickly but perhaps not as conscientiously as you should. You may spend a lot of time going through paperwork and discarding what’s outdated. It might be a better idea to slow down a little and look closely at what you’re doing. You won’t want to throw out something you may need later. SAGITTARIUS — A sudden burst of inspiration for a creative project might keep you busy in the morning and afternoon, Sagittarius. You will need information and materials you don’t have at home, and finding them might require a larger expenditure of time, energy, and money than you initially thought. Don’t give up on the idea. It’s likely to be a good one and you will definitely want to pursue it. CAPRICORN — Too many people may be vying for your attention today, Capricorn, both at work and home. You will want to make them all happy, so you may feel a little frazzled. Your temper might also be on edge. It would be better to put off the less urgent demands than work yourself into a frenzy. Those who matter would rather have you enjoy life than tire yourself out for their sake. AQUARIUS — Communications coming your way today may be more plentiful than useful, Aquarius. You could receive lots of confusing phone calls. At first you will be excited by the mailbox full of letters, but then you’ll find that some are junk while others are addressed to people you’ve never heard of. Hang in there. This tendency should pass by tomorrow! PISCES — A friend may ask to borrow some money today, Pisces. You may feel that he or she is asking for more than is really needed, and certainly more than you’re willing to give. You might think this puts you in an awkward position. Try to talk to your friend and explain your situation. If you have to say no, just say it. A real friend will understand and look elsewhere for the money.

CODEWORD PUZZLE

SUDOKU

Thought for Today

Codeword is a fun game with simple rules, and a great way to test your knowledge of the English language. 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.

Milt Larsen celebrates 90th birthday Magic Castle founder has star-studded virtual party

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Milt Larsen, founder of The Magic Castle Inc. (The Academy of Magical Arts), celebrated his 90th birthday with some familiar faces earlier this month. He was happy to see everyone, but he still longs for the nights of performances the Magic Castle in Hollywood hosted year-round. He told the News-Press he expects the interior of the castle to open to members May 25. To accommodate celebrities living across the United States, he had a party via Zoom.
