Oprah to speak at graduation UCSB’s commencement is today By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Montecito author and talk show host Oprah Winfrey will address the Class of 2021 this morning during UCSB’s online commencement ceremony. The one-hour virtual graduation will take place at 10 a.m. Ms. Winfrey recently coauthored “What Happened to You?: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience and Healing” with Dr. Bruce D. Perry, a renowned trauma expert. The book has been on the New York Times bestsellers list. In March, Ms. Winfrey interviewed fellow Montecito residents Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in a bombshell interview that aired on CBS and covered the couple’s disagreements with the royal family. In addition to her books and interviews, Ms. Winfrey is an entrepreneur and philanthropist who operates The Oprah Winfrey Foundation and the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy Foundation. And longtime fans will remember her co-starring with Whoopi Goldberg in “The Color Purple”

(1985). In addition to Ms. Winfrey, this morning’s graduation will feature Ebelechukwu Eseka as the student speaker. The sociology graduate is of Nigerian and Ghanian descent and emigrated to the United States when she was 14. She landed at UCSB as a Promise Scholar, which allowed her access to resources and mentors who helped her come into her own. Ms. Eseka received the Deans’ Award for Outstanding Senior and the Thomas More Storke Award, UCSB’s highest student honor. Mr. Storke (1876-1971) was publisher of the News-Press, and the campus’ Storke Tower is named after him. After graduation, Ms. Eseka plans to pursue a career to be a public interest attorney. Today’s events will include multiple virtual celebrations arranged by the university’s schools, academic divisions and departments. For more information, visit ucsb.edu/ commencement.

presidency, those states had a high turnout of Native American voters,” Jewell James, the head carver for the House of Tears Carvers, told the News-Press. “And that was significant and recognized by President Biden when he nominated the secretary of interior from Native America. And so he’s just showing that he knows why he’s in office.” Eleanor Fishburn Nee Arellanes, the tribal chair of the Barbereno band of Chumash Indians, participated in Wednesday’s ceremony by offering prayer and thanks for the House of Tears Carvers on their long journey. She said seeing the nomination of Ms. Haaland to secretary of the interior makes her feel inspired. “It gets me excited that we finally have some representation and some acknowledgement,” Ms. Fishburn Nee Arellanes told the News-Press. “You know, we are the first peoples here. Regardless of how they tried to slice it, we’re the first people here. And it’s like I said, it’s an honor for us to have another native woman represent and give an indigenous perspective instead of a Western perspective.” To follow the journey of the totem pole, see facebook.com/totempolejourney. email: news@newspress.com

A totem pole bound for the nation’s capital made a stop in Montecito Wednesday night, where a group of Chumash individuals and faculty members from Pacifica Graduate Institute gathered for a special ceremony. The totem pole, created by the House of Tears Carvers from the Lummi Indian Nation in Washington state, was carved in honor of Deb Haaland, who is the first Native American nominated to a U.S. cabinet secretary position. Ms. Haaland is currently serving as the secretary of interior for the Biden administration. In a few weeks, the totem pole will be presented to President Biden at the White House after completing its “Red Road to DC” journey across the United States. It will then be placed in the Smithsonian’s Museum of the Native American. For its 69th stop on its journey across the United States, a group gathered at Pacifica’s Ladera Lane Campus Wednesday to sing, pray and discuss the significance of the totem pole. The 24-foot pole was carved from a 400year-old cedar tree and features an array of symbolic images depicting significant challenges faced by Indigenous communities.

These include the large population of missing and murdered Indigenous women, the children detained at the U.S.-Mexico border and the population loss of endangered salmon species along the Pacific Coast. In the center of the pole, a carved eagle dives downward, representing the kind of strong leadership Indigenous people expect from the government, Jewell James, a master carver from the House of Tears Carvers, told the News-Press. “We use the eagle to symbolize the type of leadership that we’re calling for,” he said. “Leadership that can see past, present and future all the needs, from newborn infant to the oldest person in the community, in regards to health, wellness, housing, food, shelter — all those needs.” By making this journey to D.C., Mr. James said he is hoping to raise awareness about the preservation of sacred sites and waters, the missing indigenous women and the historical killings of Native American children in U.S.sponsored boarding schools. Mr. James said that although Ms. Haaland has a responsibility to serve all Americans, she has the chance to be a voice for underrepresented tribal people across the country. “In the swing states that shifted the

The camp includes practice

in concert band and sectional instruction, according to a news release. It will conclude with a performance so the students can show their family and friends what they’ve accomplished.

the audience that when his team entered the Olympic games, they were ranked ninth out of 24, and no one expected them to go very far. But with hard work and focused intentions, the team came out victorious, clinching the gold medal against the No. 1-ranked Brazilian team. Looking back on the outcome of those Olympic games, Mr. Blanton told students that “anything is possible” if they stay focused on their goals. “It’s so important that you stay the course, that you focus on what is next and that you get to that higher level,” Mr. Blanton said. He added, “No matter what you go for when you leave here, no matter what the next step is, you can blaze a new trail.” The former Olympian even brought his gold medal to show the audience. During Thursday’s ceremony, student and faculty speakers alike noted the unique challenges the class faced during its time in high school. Between the Thomas Fire, the Montecito mudslides and the COVID-19 pandemic, the students missed about two years of their high school experience due to unprecedented circumstances, Principal Gerardo Cornejo told the audience. “All those events have brought with them anxieties, human tragedies, doubts and an array of emotions, but also acts of heroism and community building and neighbor helping neighbor, just like Carpinterians know how to,” Mr. Carnejo said. The class salutatorians — Hannia Hernandez Aviles and Javier Zamora Juarez — and valedictorian Cassidy Rae Hajducko took to the stage on Thursday night as well, recalling cherished high school memories and praising their classmates for making it through a difficult pandemic school year. Between the three speeches, a similar sentiment rang true: “Warrior spirit never dies.” “We have faced many hurdles throughout our high school ife, especially in regards to academics,” Javier said. “However, we are warriors, and we have not only proven that we as students are adaptable to change, but our teachers and staff have also exemplified this.” During Hannia’s speech, which she delivered in Spanish and English, she told the audience that she had often been called a

dreamer for reasons that included Thursday’s commencement. “I dreamed of swinging my gold tassel from right to left, and only in my wildest dreams did I see myself wearing this medal and speaking in front of all of you,” she said. “Even though I dreamed of a ‘High School Musical’ experience like many did, these past four years have had way more drama, twists and turns, highs and lows than we could have ever imagined,” Hannia later added. “Yet here we are about to accomplish all these dreams.” To cap off the student speeches, Cassidy recalled the hurdles the class overcame to make it to graduation day, praising her classmates for their resilience. “Our ability to overcome each and every one of them demonstrates nothing more than the strength and resiliency of the class of 2021,” Cassidy said. “It’s not everyday that you can tell people that your sophomore year was the only normal year of high school you had.” In an interview with the NewsPress on Friday, Mr. Conejo reflected on the graduation ceremony and the experience of the class of 2021. He said the

ceremony was a success because “we were able to give our seniors the opportunity to walk across a physical stage that previous classes have had the opportunity to do.” “We’re very proud of our students,” Mr. Conejo said. “This class had only one regular school year in their four years that was uninterrupted. Every time

there was a challenge presented, they stepped up to the plate, made the best of it, and did what they needed to do, which was focus on their goals, focus on postsecondary outlook, be a student and be a warrior. “They’ve been warriors all along.” email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

Elizabeth Bryson holds artist Sheryl Knight’s “Sacred Garden 2021,” an oil on linen on panel, in front of the Santa Barbara Mission, where Ms. Bryson works as the retail operations manager. The Mission’s Gift Shop is holding an art exhibit commemorating the historic landmark’s 200th anniversary.

Art exhibit to feature 33 works mission

Continued from Page A1 July 13, July 27, Aug. 10 and Aug. 24. “We are grateful to all of the incredibly talented artists who participated in this inaugural event. It has been very exciting to see the Mission come to life through the artists’ eyes and to allow visitors the opportunity to buy these one-of-a-kind artworks,” said Elizabeth Bryson, retail operations manager at the Mission. The 33 art pieces, which will be for sale, were created to celebrate the beauty and importance of the historic landmark and to showcase the grounds. “As one of the most visited tourist destinations in Santa Barbara, the Mission provides a unique opportunity to showcase local art or products, since we welcome visitors from all over the world daily,” said Ms. Bryson. “It

is our hope that this could become an annual artist showcase.” She added that due to the impact of COVID-19 and the closure of the Mission tours and retail operations, “we recognized the need to diversify our revenue streams for the long-term sustainability of the Mission. The idea for an art exhibition was a result of a task force that was established to help us come up with new and creative ways to broaden revenue and engage with our local community. “We also continue to support Santa Barbara small businesses by working to expand the variety of locally made products that we carry in our gift shop. Some of the companies we currently partner with include One Last Glass, Santa Barbara Popcorn, Arbor Love Art, Arte D’Italia Imports, Draughtsman Aleworks and the Riviera Towel Co.” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

ARIES —You may not know which way to turn, Aries. You may be emotionally weighed down by sentimental feelings and memories that bind you to the past. You may also feel restricted by authority figures who’ve been around the block more times than you, and therefore feel they have the right to tell you how to run your life. Try not to let your thoughts get tied up in either of these scenarios. TAURUS — Your mind may be going in many different directions, with fantastic ideas about how things should be done, Taurus. The difficulty is communicating these ideas in a way that makes sense. Others may see you as a threat to their authority. Perhaps they feel your ideas would undermine their plans, so they reject them. Don’t give up. Fight for your right to be heard and respected. GEMINI — In a philosophical or political conversation, you don’t hesitate to offer your thoughts, Gemini. Your examples may be extreme, but your principles are sound. You may get in over your head before you know it and suddenly need an escape route. Your first reaction may be to change the subject. It’s better to admit you don’t know the answer or don’t understand the question. CANCER — You should be in a good mood, Cancer, although you might have a hard time fully expressing yourself. Perhaps you feel like there is someone keeping an eye on your every move. You may feel like a kid in class being watched by the teacher. Don’t be intimidated by those with a selfrighteous air. You have just as much right to speak your mind as anyone else. LEO — You may get the feeling that despite all the hard work you’ve accomplished, something is still missing, Leo. There’s still a long road ahead, regardless of the goals you’ve attained so far. Perhaps the thing you’re searching for is a tender moment with a loved one, something that’s much closer than you think. Stop searching far and wide for the thing that’s right under your nose. VIRGO — Freedom may be a theme for you today, Virgo. You’re beginning to question what it is you’re trying to free yourself from. A person? Job? Commitment? These may be the very things you start to search for as soon as you’re free of them. Trying to figure out what you want and need in life is sometimes easier said than done. Don’t getNovember stuck on one concept. Monday, 16, 2015 Do your best to take things gradually.

LIBRA — You’re the liquid that takes the shape of its container, Libra. Even though this may seem like the most non-confrontational way to do things, you may find that it’s actually a cause of great frustration for you and others. People may be annoyed that you’re always following someone else’s lead instead of taking the initiative. Try to be more assertive while continuing to be easygoing. SCORPIO — You may feel like a puppy that has been let outside for the first time, Scorpio. The air is warm and you’re full of energy. You’re ready to run over the fields and hills. Unfortunately, you’re tied to a stake and you can’t move beyond a ten-foot radius. Your heart is ready to fly, but something beyond your control keeps you where you are. Start chewing the rope. SAGITTARIUS — You may feel a strange tension. It seems that nothing you say or do is quite right, Sagittarius. As much as you may try to do the correct thing, you can’t make things click the way you’d like. Try not to raise your expectations too high. Let go of the idea that things are going to work out exactly the way you want. You may not even know what’s best for you in the end. CAPRICORN — It may be hard for you to maintain your self-discipline, Capricorn. Your childlike nature wants to go out and play. Emotionally, you’re anxious to let loose and follow your playful, instinctual nature, yet your sense of responsibility is holding you back. This difficult internal tension may be the cause of irritation in many different areas of your life. Do your best to come to a place of balance and harmony. AQUARIUS — If you’re unclear about the topic of discussion, say so, Aquarius. Asking questions is an important part of learning. You shouldn’t be afraid to ask. Communication may take on a serious tone, and intellectual discussions are likely to get heated. Bring up political topics at the dinner table and give everyone a chance to speak on the matter. Don’t try to change the subject in order to avoid the conversation. PISCES — You may be shy when it comes to expressing your emotions today, Pisces. This could be a rare thing for you. Other people may wonder if something is wrong. The truth is, you may feel like you need to calm down and focus more of your attention inward instead of directing it outward. Don’t look to others to resolve your problems. Deal with them yourself. You’re just going through an introspective period.

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.
