Cal/OSHA updates mask guidance By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Cal/OSHA — the state’s workplace regulators — approved seemingly contradictory rules Thursday night that California workers must continue to wear masks in buildings for the foreseeable future, and they can only take them off if every employee in the room has gotten their COVID-19 vaccine. However, this clashes with both the state Public Health guidance and guidance from the CDC. On June 15, the state plans to fully

reopen in less than two weeks and do away with nearly all mask and social distancing requirements for vaccinated individuals, according to Associated Press reporting. June 15 is when these Cal/OSHA mask mandates would go into effect. If the rules aren’t revised, they could remain in place into early next year. Cal/OSHA’s rules would apply to all employees and places of employment in California, except for work locations with one employee who doesn’t have contact with anyone else, employees working from home, employees with occupational exposure and

employees teleworking from a location of their choice, not under the control of the employer. Employers would need to have workers’ vaccine records on file to comply with regulations. In addition, workers in places such as retail stores and restaurants — any employees who interact with members of the public — must be masked at all times. Leaders of workforce associations have pointed out contradictions with the guidance. Namely, a waiter or waitress must wear a mask while they’re working at the Please see CAL/OSHA on A4

A group of activists organized a march on upper State Street Friday to protest corporate banks who are funding fossil fuel projects. The activists successfully delivered letters to the CEOs of Wells Fargo and Chase Bank, urging the banks to halt funding that supports the expansion of the Enbridge Line 3 pipeline.

Local advocates urge banks to halt funding to Line 3 pipeline By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

“Defund! Divest! Put these banks to the test!” This was the cry of a group of local activists who marched on upper State Street Friday to protest banks who are funding fossil fuel projects, which environmentalists say are causing disastrous climate impacts nationwide. Members of the Society of Fearless Grandmothers, the Sunrise Movement Santa Barbara, 350 Santa Barbara, Climate Reality and the Women’s March of Santa Barbara marched together to protest outside of Wells Fargo, Bank of America and Chase Bank on upper State Street, holding signs and reciting chants. Friday’s protest centered on the expansion of the Enbridge Line 3 pipeline, which is currently being built through Indigenous land in northern Minnesota. The pipeline will carry 760,000 barrels a day of tar sands oil for more than 300 miles of northern Minnesota, emitting Please see PROTEST on A3

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office determined that the human remains unearthed in Montecito last week are Native American remains. Landscaping crews uncovered bones while digging a trench for a residential construction project May 24 in the 800 block of Riven Rock Road. On Thursday, the Coroner’s Bureau concluded that the remains are those of a Native American male of an unknown age. According to Raquel Zick, the Sheriff’s Office’s spokesperson, the structure of the bones indicate the size of a smaller person, but still an adult and not a child. The remains weren’t a complete skeleton. Rather, detectives discovered lots of fragmented pieces with most of the hands and feet missing. “There weren’t big, giant identifiable pieces you could put all together, just because of the breakage,” Ms. Zick told the NewsPress Friday. The Sheriff’s PIO confirmed that the remains were not located on the property of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. They were, Please see REMAINS on A2

Investigators say bones from non-recent death REMAINS

however, dug up on the same street as the couple’s $14 million mansion. Deputies, coroner’s detectives and forensics technicians photographed, collected and transported the remains to the Coroner’s Bureau for further examination, and the digging in the area was suspended until further notice. In the preliminary investigation, detectives noted that the bones appeared to be from a nonrecent death, according to a news release from the Sheriff’s Office, and they were yellowing in a state of decomposition and deterioration. They also noted that the teeth were worn down in a manner that is consistent with a much rougher diet, similar to that of American Indians. This past Thursday, Dr. Rick Snow, a forensic anthropology consultant at Santa Barbara’s Coroner’s Bureau, examined the remains and visited the residence where they were found to ensure there were no additional artifacts. The detectives will be coordinating with the California Native American Heritage Commission to release the remains. The organization’s Environmental and Cultural Staff will designate which California tribe on its Most Likely Descendants list matches the bones that were discovered, and contact that tribe. The tribe will then have 48 hours from the point at

which they are granted access by the landowner of the property to where the remains were discovered to inspect the site and make recommendations or preferences for treatment to the landowner. The landowner will then discuss and confer with the most likely descendants all reasonable options regarding their preferences for the remains’ treatment. These options include: the nondestructive removal and analysis of human remains and items associated with the remains; preservation of the human remains in place; relinquishment of the human remains to the most likely descendants for treatment; or other culturally appropriate treatment.

Continued from Page A1 more carbon to the atmosphere every year than the entire state of Minnesota, according to a news release from the Fearless Grandmothers. This pipeline expansion is funded in large part by bank corporations, who, since the Paris Agreement was signed in 2015, have put $3.8 trillion into fossil fuels, according to the Rainforest Action Network. Wells Fargo, Bank of America and Chase Bank in particular have contributed billions of dollars to fossil fuel expansion in the U.S. in recent years, with JPMorgan Chase leading the pack at about $317 billion allocated to such projects, according to the Rainforest Action Network. It’s for these reasons activists gathered on State Street to deliver letters to the CEOs of each bank, asking them to be on the “right side of history” by halting their corporation’s contribution to fossil fuel projects. “Emissions need to be cut all across the globe,” Irene Cooke, a coordinator and co-founder of the Society of Fearless Grandmas, told the News-Press. “And banks all across the globe — whether we’re talking about a pipeline in Minnesota, a pipeline in Santa Maria, pipelines anyplace — they’re all contributing to escalating emissions. Emissions need to be going exactly the opposite direction. “The Line 3 pipeline would increase emissions by more than 50 new coal fired power plants,” she added. The activists successfully delivered letters to both Wells Fargo and Chase Bank, but faced opposition at the Bank of America branch on upper State Street. After the activists attempted

to deliver the letter, the bank manager declined to accept the letter, called Santa Barbara police and told the activists to leave the premises. Chris Barros, a member of the Society of Fearless Grandmothers, said she was shocked by the response of the Bank of America staffer and disappointed the letter was not accepted. “They locked the doors to the bank,” Ms. Barros told the NewsPress. “They wouldn’t let any other customers in, and even the customers who wanted to go out, they had to let them out one at a time. They were locked in because we’re such a threat? I don’t know. We’re grandmothers — what is the problem?” Despite the opposition, the activists were unwavering in their commitment to the cause, maintaining their cheers and continuing the march. Casey Dwire, a member of 350 Santa Barbara, took a turn leading the group’s chants on Friday. He said he protested in an effort to hold the banks accountable for their climate policies. “A lot of (banks) have come out saying that they believe in climate change and they are proponents of a cleaner and healthier environment, but then they fund these oil pipelines and these projects that are completely detrimental to those values, particularly with Line 3,” Mr. Dwire told the News-Press. “And so I’d love to see them show through action and not just words that they are opposed to this and that they are here to protect and serve the community like they say they are.” Despite the concerns of activists, proponents of fossil fuels say that ending the expansion of fossil fuel pipelines will increase harm to the poorest people living in the U.S. and transfer pollution to other nations who will be forced

to increase production of raw materials if the U.S. halts its fossil fuel production. “I would love to see them protest in Minnesota in the winter while trying to rely on solar and wind power to keep them alive,” Andy Caldwell, the executive director of COLAB and a NewsPress columnist, told the NewsPress Friday. “These people are not living in reality,” he said. “You can’t make a solar panel, a wind turbine or an electric road without fossil fuels. We use half of each barrel of oil for over 6,000 other products we use each and every day, including tires, plastic, asphalt and innumerable other items that we need to live in a modern lifestyle.” Mr. Caldwell said shutting down pipelines is “transferring pollution” by moving the “smokestack from one country to another.” Still, climate activists stand firm that if nothing changes, the climate impacts could be detrimental for generations to come. “I think one of the main reasons that you see a lot of gray haired people here is that we feel like our generation has really dropped the ball,” Ms. Cooke said. “All of this happened in my lifetime. If you look at graphs of how emissions have skyrocketed, they were going up ever since the Industrial Revolution, but since 1950, they’ve just gone straight up.” She added, “We want to make sure our elected officials know that there are people who care about this. We want to make sure that the banks know that there are customers and citizens who care about this. And raise awareness of this issue in the general population. “Because it’s so easy for people to think, ‘Oh, God, climate change, it’s such a depressing topic. I can’t even think about it. I don’t want

to think about it. Don’t talk to me about it.’ Guess what? It’s going to affect you.” According to Ms. Cooke, Santa Barbara’s climate has already risen by four degrees. She said this could have long-term impacts on agriculture and sea level rise across the Central Coast. “You know, those beaches that we loved aren’t going to be here because of sea level rise,” she said. “So it’s not like we can ignore this. We’ve ignored it long enough.” “We cannot allow the commercial institutions like banks and insurance companies and investment companies and elected officials to ignore this anymore. It is truly an existential crisis.” email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

New head coach to lead Saints Mendoza-Gutierrez to lead Santa Maria High football team By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Albert Mendoza-Gutierrez has been promoted to new head football coach at Santa Maria High School. Mendoza-Gutierrez has served as an assistant football coach with the Saints for the last five years. He previously served as an assistant football coach at nearby Pioneer Valley High School from 2010-2013. He replaces longtime coach Dan Ellington. “I am extremely excited,’’ Mendoza-Gutierrez said in a news release. “Coach Ellington set a foundation for the football

program, and I believe we have all the tools at Santa Maria High to continue building the program into a great winning program.’’ Mendoza-Gutierrez learned the value of sports at a young age. “Growing up, both of my parents coached boys’ and girls’ volleyball at all the local high schools, including Santa Maria High,’’ he said.“I would often see players thank my parents through letters or signed volleyballs, and I really got to see firsthand the true impact of sports and what role it played in people’s lives. “Looking back at the experience with my parents and

now having gone through eight seasons myself, I truly believe high school sports are teaching student athletes many important morals and values such as responsibility, hard work ethic, perseverance and commitment, which ultimately can reshape the foundation of their lives so that they can become high contributing members of their communities.’’ Mendoza-Gutierrez, who is from Santa Maria, graduated from Pioneer Valley School in 2010, Allan Hancock College in 2013 and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in 2015. email: dmason@newspress.com

the restaurant, but could return later off the clock and be totally maskless. The new guidelines waive the requirement that employees must be physically distanced, but not until July 31. Until then, they must either physically distance themselves or be offered N95 masks, which drew concern from members of the board who claimed N95 masks would then be stockpiled and unavailable to the health care providers who need them. Reporters asked Gov. Gavin Newsom about the sudden rule change at a press conference Friday that was originally scheduled to discuss vaccine incentives. “The dust is settling,” the

California governor said when reporters questioned him on the matter. “They’ve got a subcommittee that’s going to be meeting to follow up some of the work. We’re pleased they made progress moving in the right direction.” He said that if the board had not acted Thursday night, the physical distancing requirements “would not have been augmented,” but they now have. “Look, I’m mindful this disease has not been extinguished. It hasn’t gone away,” Gov. Newsom said. “... We’ve never said that we were not going to consider some modifications post-June 15. Let me be specific. We’ve been very forthright in terms of modifications for large, indoor settings with a lot of folks from different backgrounds,

walks of life, people coming internationally, etc.” The governor told reporters that over the course of the next few days or months, the state will “unfold” with updates and recommendations, including “less mandates, more encouragement, more incentives and more resources.” He added, “The blueprint as we know it, the color coding, the tiers as we know it, will be removed and for average citizens, for the public people like myself, that want to go about doing business.” The California Department of Public Health did not answer questions from the NewsPress regarding what needs to happen in order for mask mandates to go away or why the guidance is stricter than CDC recommendations.

Barbara County public health officer, told the News-Press Friday that it is safe to not wear a mask outdoors, except for crowded events, “given that we have only minimal SARS-CoV2 transmission in California and in Santa Barbara County.” “Indoor masking may still be wise for persons with weak immune systems,” Dr. Ansorg said. “In particular, non-vaccinated persons should consider wearing a mask when in shared indoor spaces.” He added that the recommendations are being given during a time of minimal virus transmission. Dr. Ansorg said, “If we were to experience a significant increase in cases, Public Health would consider reinstating a general masking mandate.” email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Nearly perfect pitching and plenty of fancy footwork around the bases — and don’t forget that home run — led San Marcos High School to a 7-0 victory over visiting Mayfield during the Royals’ first-round game Thursday. The Royals are now 18-4 and will play Schurr at home at 3:15 p.m. today. During Thursday’s game, Allie Fryklund continued her dominant pitching with a no-hit shutout, Head Coach Jeff Swann told the News-Press in an email. One runner reached base on an error in the sixth inning to erase a perfect game. She tallied 13 strikeouts. The Royals scored in the first inning on a lead off walk by Kamilah Morales. “Caitlyn Early reached base on an infield single and Fryklund grounded out, scoring Morales,” Coach Swann said. Gigi Gritt followed with a groundout scoring Early for a 2-0 lead. In her next turn at bat, Early blasted a home run to center field for a 3-0 score. Three Mayfield errors led to a 4th run in the 4th inning. With one out in the fifth inning, Gritt singled. Monaghan bunted,

James Arthur Radcliffe passed away on May 24th, 2021 in Solvang, California, of natural causes, he was 94 years old. James, Jim to most people and “Poppy” to his children and grandchildren was born in Texas on August 14th, 1926. After busy early years of riding as many rollercoasters as he could ﬁnd he joined the Navy and went to sea during World War II. Jim’s ship, the USS Wichita sailed into Nagasaki on September 1945 marking Jim’s last days in the Navy. After returning to civilian life Jim went to work for the Southern California Gas Company as part of crews that installed and repaired gas lines. It did not take Jim long to build a solid career with the Gas Company with his last job there being the President of the Beverly Hills/Hollywood Division of Southern California Gas. While building a career was important to Jim his real focus was on creating a family of his own. After leaving the Navy Jim married Mary Patricia Luke (known as “Pat” deceased) and had four children; Rita, Steven, Timothy (and wife Susan) and Mary Beth (and husband Dino), and grandchildren; Erik, Adam, Jenifer, Heather and Candice along with greatgrandchildren; Ashlyn, Hailey, Jackson, Ariana, Patrick and Lilliana, all of whom survived Jim. After the passing of Pat, Jim married Helen Gorton of Solvang. Seeing Jim and Helen together left no doubt about the love they shared. After living for years in a small golf course community in Solvang they eventually moved into Atterdag where they lived when Jim passed. Helen and her sons Tom, Jerry and Mike along with their families have all survived Jim. Jim also enjoyed Golf and regularly volunteered at PGA Tour events during his years with the Gas Company. While playing Golf with Jim everyone knew to be careful when he pulled out a 7 Iron to chip around the green, he almost never missed and took great joy in this aspect of his game. He also continued to try new things; water skiing for the ﬁrst time in his 50s and taking to the air in a glider for his 88th birthday...perhaps a holdover from his days as a roller coaster lover! Jim was an extraordinary leader and an even better father, his kindness, ever present smile and ability to stay calm in every situation made it easy for everyone that met him to like him immediately. He was regularly sought out for his insights and used his ability to truly listen to help others through simple and challenging situations. Jim’s memorial service is on June 5th at Atterdag. Attendance is restricted to family only due to Covid restrictions.

Frances also won the part of the lead character, Lucille, in the play “Hyacinth.” Frances spent many years as an Executive Secretary working in medical, dental and insurance offices. She also worked for Gulf Oil Company and the Lake Charles Water Company. Frances met her soulmate, Joseph Mueller, in the Spring of 1957 when Joe was playing minor league baseball in Lake Charles. Introduced by Frances’ brother Sammy, the Sports Editor of the Lake Charles American Press, Joe and Frances quickly began what would become a three-year, long-distance courtship while Joe traveled the country playing baseball and completing his Master’s Degree at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. On August 18, 1960, Frances and Joe married in Las Vegas, Nevada and moved to San Luis Obispo, California where Joe was teaching and coaching at Morro Bay High School. Frances and Joe later moved to Santa Barbara in 1965 when Joe accepted a teaching and coaching position at San Marcos High School. Santa Barbara became Frances’ home for the next 56 years. Frances was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She was an excellent cook, and beloved by all who were fortunate to make her acquaintance for her quick wit and graciousness. She was deeply committed to her Catholic faith and will be profoundly missed by friends, family and all who knew her. Frances is survived by her husband Joe of 60 years, children Ron Rollosson, Jane Wagner and Anna Mueller-Ellis (Scott), grandchildren Justin Wagner, Johanna Wagner Raum (Mike), Ethan Ellis and Parker Ellis and numerous nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by twelve siblings and her parents. A Rosary Vigil will be held at 7:00 p.m. on June 7, 2021 at Welch-Ryce-Haider in Goleta, followed by a Funeral Mass at 10:00 a.m. on June 8, 2021 at St. Raphael’s Catholic Church. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Ridley-Tree Cancer Center or VNA Health.

MaryAnn Aronson died very peacefully at the age of 79 in Napa Valley, CA on May 5, 2021. She is survived by her children David Joel Sciuto (Montecito, CA), Esther Joy McEntire (St. Helena, CA), Micah Joseph Sciuto (Oahu, HI). Mary Ann was born Sept. 19, 1941, in Tullahoma, TN. She worked for the Credit Union of Santa Barbara, Store Manager Yost Appliance and Front Desk Manager SB Hotel Group (Inn by the Harbor). She raised three children with laughter, hugs and kisses, and the knowledge of Jehovah God Almighty. She would pray every night with her young children. She was an avid reader of the Bible starting at age 7 to her death at 79. She knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that she had found the truth of the Bible, the past, the present and the future promises of Jehovah God. She never missed a meeting at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses and truly loved her international brotherhood of true friends around the earth. She helped numerous people to learn about Jehovah and have faith in, true justice and true peace, to be found through God’s government. She was very kind, patient, and had a contagious laugh. We lost an amazing woman in MaryAnn. We know that Jehovah will “heal the broken-hearted” as Psa. 147:3 states, and that there is no darkness too dark for Jehovah to find us and comfort us. Like MaryAnn, her family strongly believes in the resurrection promise found in the Bible very soon to come on earth. (Rev. 21:3,4; Psa. 37:29) In 1984 she met the love of her life, Robert “Bob” Aronson and together they raised their children with a deep love for each other. To learn more of this resurrection promise please go to JW.ORG. The website is in 1,032 languages. MaryAnn’s zoom funeral will be held on Sat. June 5th @ 2PM. Robert “Bob” Aronson died peacefully at the age of 78 in Napa Valley, CA on Sept 6, 2020. He is survived by his children David Joel Sciuto, Esther Joy McEntire, Micah Joseph Sciuto, Debi Pizzo Greenwood (Lancaster, CA) Robert Greenwood (Valencia ,CA) Dove Harrington (Nipomo, CA). Bob was born in Chicago IL on Feb. 5, 1942. Bob served in the Vietnam war as a Field Hospital Medic. He was stationed in Fort Hamilton NY and Stuttgart Germany. After honorable discharge he opened Bob’s Mirrors in Chicago IL. Upon his arrival to Santa Barbara, he worked for the Santa Barbara News-Press, TMC phone sales and several insurance companies. Bob was raised in a Jewish and Lutheran home. With Bob’s religious background, and then serving as a medic for the military and being decorated as a marksman, he became disillusioned as to the God he thought he believed in. In 1972 he lost a daughter in death and repeatedly asked “If there is a God, why does he allow wickedness and grief?” After a knock on his door by Jehovah’s Witnesses he spent countless hours trying to disprove their beliefs. After an intense study of the Bible itself in Hebrew and Greek, with all his Bible translations lined up, he could not disprove the beliefs of Jehovah’s Witnesses or the promise the Bible holds out of a resurrection on earth. It filled the void in his heart when he knew he would see his daughter again in the resurrection, promised by God. (Titus 1:2) He was baptized that same year at the Ventura Fairgrounds. He passionately wanted all to know of God’s government that would bring true justice for all of mankind. He never missed meetings at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses and studied the Bible with many people with a passion for truth. He married the love of his life in MaryAnn and was a true romantic with cards, roses, and gifts for over 36 years. He truly was the best father we could ever have. We were so grateful for a spiritual loving father. He enjoyed going to LA Dodger games and Cubs games at Wrigley Field. He also loved the excitement of taking the kids grunion hunting and watching them surf at Ledbetter beach! We look forward to the time when he will be resurrected to a paradise earth, where he will see his reflection in a lake and say, “I made it.” This was his dying wish. Zoom funeral was held Oct. 3, 2020, with over 600 in attendance. He was a dearly loved man. Thank you to the hundreds of friends who have given such unending love and support to Bob, MaryAnn, and our entire family. Thank you for Hospice of Santa Barbara and Collabria Hospice Napa Valley, Alexander Gardens of Santa Barbara and St. Helena Home Care for their excellent caregiving skills and loving bedside manner. Thank you for the cards, the flowers, the encouraging scriptures, the meals, and your genuine love. We will never forget it.

T R E E OF T H E MON T H Peppermint Tree (Agonis Flexuosa)

By DAVID GRESS SPECIAL TO THE NEWS-PRESS

ith its arched and weeping branches, the Peppermint Tree has the graceful elegance of a weeping willow. Unlike a true willow, it is water-thrifty and sustainable, making it a perfect choice for our area. It was given this common name because of the delightful and strong peppermint aroma the leaves exude when they are crushed or torn. The Peppermint Tree is native to the southwest tip of Australia, in the coastal and subcoastal strip from north of Perth southward through the Swan Coastal Plain, a region with a Mediterranean climate like our own. It was introduced into California in 1871. By the 1920s, well-established specimens could be seen in Santa Barbara. Surprisingly, it is still rather an uncommon tree here and, because of its many attractive qualities, really should be more frequently planted. This relatively fast-growing tree will reach up to 25 to 35 feet tall with a spread of up to 30 feet, developing a weeping growth habit and a dense leaf canopy. Its deep-green, willow-like, fibrous, lanceolate-shaped leaves (up to 6 inches long and ½ inch wide) grow on dangling twigs that have a noticeably zigzagged form.

One of the loveliest features of this tree is the flowers, which occur in profuse quantities from March to June. The small (½-inch wide) white flowers appear on the twigs in close but distinctly separated clusters, very much resembling a chain of beads in a necklace! They can cover the tree crown so thickly that it appears to have a light dusting of snow. After pollination, the flowers develop heads of seed capsules (½ inch in diameter) that will persist on the twigs for several years. Another of its notable features is the bark, which is reddishbrown to gray in color, becomes very deeply fissured and will flake with age. While it prefers a sandy welldrained soil, the Peppermint Tree is versatile and can thrive with most types of soil and exposures. Once established, it is quite drought-tolerant, though it will look more robust if given infrequent deep watering during the dry season. Happily, it can tolerate exposure to the windy coastal conditions often found in Santa Barbara County. It is much appreciated for its strong immune system, being generally pest-free and resistant to root fungus. However, it is not cold tolerant and can sustain damage in temperatures below 28 degrees. It should be planted in full sun to partial shade. When transplanting, use care to avoid disturbing the area where the trunk meets the root

ball. A young tree should be trained into a single trunk, because multiple trunks can split apart, resulting in the loss of the whole tree. There have been reports of this tree being sensitive to phosphorus fertilizer, so apply only natural fertilizer or just nitrogen. The botanical name for the Peppermint Tree is Agonis flexuosa. The genus name, Agonis, comes from the Greek word “agon,” which means “a gathering or collection” and refers to the tightly clustered flowers. The species epithet, flexuosa, is Latin for “full of bends”, which refers to the zig-zag pattern of the twigs that change direction at each leaf node, as well as to the flexible arching of the branches. Its other common names are “Western Australian Peppermint,” “Peppermint Willow” and “Willow Myrtle.” It is also called “Wonong” and “Wannang” by the Noongar, an Australian native people, who have traditionally used the leaves as an antiseptic and the trunks of young trees for spear shafts and tools. This well-behaved small- to medium- sized tree is a fine shade tree for residential landscapes and for parks. It can also be used in mass plantings for effective screening. There have been several cultivars selected for leaf color and size. The best and most available in nurseries is called “burgundy,” which, as the name implies,

has new foliage colored a deep burgundy. It is somewhat smaller than the species and some of the other cultivars, making it an excellent choice for patio gardens. A magnificent specimen of Peppermint Tree, pictured here, stands in the lawn at the east end of Shoreline Park. Other mature trees can be seen in East Alameda Park and at Stow House (by the caretaker’s cottage). More than 15 mature trees are to be found in the Calle Barquero Open Space. One particularly attractive tree is located at 12 La Flecha Lane.

Tree of the Month, presented by Santa Barbara Beautiful, increases awareness and appreciation of Santa Barbara’s many outstanding trees. The nonprofit organization partners with the Parks and Recreation Department to fund tree planting along city streets. Visit Santa Barbara Beautiful’s website, sbbeautiful.org, to get more information on the organization’s programs and activities, and to view past Trees of the Month. Those who wish to honor a special someone can do so with an attractive commemorative marker that will be installed at the base of an existing street tree in Santa Barbara. Because Santa Barbara Beautiful has participated in the planting of more than 13,000 street trees, there are plenty of trees from which to choose! Application forms are available at www. sbbeautiful.org. DAVID GRESS PHOTOS

Sheriff’s Office promotes dozen staff members By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office recently held ceremonies for a dozen promoted staff members. Before the pandemic, these career milestones were marked in large ceremonies with friends, family and colleagues. But for these promotions, Sheriff Bill Brown opted to honor and swearin the members individually. The ceremonies included an oath of office, a certificate of appointment and a fist bump from the sheriff. “The most valuable asset that this or any organization has

is its people, and we who lead have the great responsibility of encouraging, developing, mentoring and training them,” Sheriff Brown said in a news release. “As we accomplish these tasks through leaders who we have had a hand in developing, the honor grows even greater.” The promotions encompass custody, dispatch and law enforcement branches. Drake Coolidge, Jeffrey Koeller, Bernard Redding, and Jennifer Scher earned the title of custody sergeant. Thomas Green Jr. and Travis Henderson are now sheriff’s sergeants. Susan Farley was promoted to dispatch manager, putting her

in charge of the public safety dispatch center. Cassandra Marking is now a custody lieutenant in jail operations. John Maxwell earned the title of sheriff’s lieutenant in the Isla Vista Foot Patrol Station, and Joseph Schmidt was also named a sheriff’s lieutenant in the northern stations covering Santa Maria and New Cuyama. Kenneth Callahan was promoted to custody commander in the Custody Support Division. Erik Raney is now a sheriff’s commander in the North County Operations Division. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

ARIES — Tasks of any kind are likely to seem like the labors of Hercules today, Aries. Overwork and strain could have you feeling a little under the weather. It might be a good idea to take some time alone to rest. If you can’t, at least try to take things easy. Also, some unexpected changes in your community might have tongues wagging. Be sure to check out the facts before jumping to conclusions. TAURUS — Money matters might be weighing on the mind of a close friend or lover, Taurus, and he or she might seek your advice. A creative project may require a larger expenditure of money, time, or other resources than you originally thought. This could make you wonder if you will be able to continue with it. It might take some tweaking on your part, but you should be able to complete it as planned. GEMINI — You might have visitors, Gemini, or even a hot date scheduled for tonight. By midafternoon you might feel too tired to go out and wonder if you should cancel. It’s best to keep your activities low-key. Have coffee and cake at home instead of going out, and get the cake from a bakery! Your evening should be full of exciting, stimulating conversation. You’ll be glad you stuck with your plans. CANCER — Deliveries that you expect could be delayed, Cancer. Today you might learn something shocking about a neighbor or relative. The gossip might spread rapidly through your community. This could have you reeling even though it might be exaggerated. You might visit a few people nearby or spend a lot of time on the phone trying to learn the truth. Don’t take anything you hear at face value. LEO — Some good but surprising news could come your way today, Leo. Perhaps a family member or friend will call or drop by with a surprising development that directly affects you. In the evening, go out together and celebrate. Don’t forget to include your special someone in your celebration plans. VIRGO — Today may start out frustrating, Virgo. Be prepared! Some equipment might go on the blink and it could take a while to get it fixed. A temporary separation from your partner could also be disappointing. You may have a lot of physical energy for which you have little immediate outlet. Take a long walk. This would not only provide an energy outlet but also clear your head. November 16, 2015 Monday, LIBRA — Your level of artistic

inspiration is high today, Libra. Dreams or meditation may bring up some spiritual insights and revelations, and you may promptly forget them upon coming out of your dream or meditative state. This could prove frustrating! Try writing them down even if you only remember snatches. This can help bring them to the surface again. You will want a record of them anyway. SCORPIO — Some upsetting news regarding money could throw you into a dither today, Scorpio. Perhaps a check you’ve been expecting hasn’t arrived on time. Maybe the bank has made an error regarding your account. It isn’t anything that can’t be straightened out, though it’s going to be a pain making all the calls. Basically, all should be going very well for you. This is only a temporary setback. SAGITTARIUS — A setback in your career might have you feeling disoriented, Sagittarius. Equipment might be involved. Don’t go crazy. It’s only temporary. Your determination, efficiency, and practicality should take care of it in no time. Basically, you’re probably feeling optimistic about the future and unlikely to change that energy any time soon. Try not to worry about problems today. Spend time relaxing and enjoying the company of friends and family. CAPRICORN — A delivery that you were expecting from far away might be delayed, Capricorn, causing you to wonder if it might have been lost. It hasn’t. Unfortunately, there isn’t much you can do but wait. Mechanical equipment could also go out of whack, necessitating a call to a repair service. This could set you back some and make you antsy. Try to find something else to do! AQUARIUS — Today you may feel especially passionate, Aquarius, and desire a romantic encounter. You might even have a hot date scheduled. Don’t be surprised if it has to be postponed for reasons beyond anyone’s control. You might try to sublimate those feelings through creative activities. Romantic novels and movies could also prove good outlets, though never as good as the real thing! PISCES — A visitor with a few problems might come to your door in search of advice and sympathy, Pisces. He or she might also have some other news that could shock you. A professional crisis might make it necessary for you or your partner to spend most of the day away from home and family. This could be frustrating, particularly if you have to cancel plans. Hang in there!

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.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: JOHN W. COTTON aka JOHN COTTON Case Number: 21PR00239 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may be otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: JOHN W. COTTON aka JOHN COTTON A Petition for Probate has been filed by Monette Cotton in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Barbara| The Petition for Probate requests that MONETTE COTTON be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: 7/1/2021 Time: 9:00am in Dept.: 5, located at Superior Court of California, County of Santa Barbara, 1100 Anacapa St., P.O. Box 21107, Santa Barbara, CA 93101, Anacapa Division. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.
