COVID’s impact on mental health

Santa Barbara County nonprofit receives $20,000 in grant funding

Pandemic leads to more anxiety in SB County By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

The social distancing, stay-at-home orders and isolation that accompanied the COVID-19 pandemic not only disrupted daily life, they also increased the amount of anxiety and depression felt by many individuals. During the pandemic, four in 10 adults in the U.S. reported symptoms of anxiety and depression, according to a Household Pulse Survey completed by the U.S. Census Bureau. This marks a stark shift from data the first half Please see HEALTH on A2

The Foodbank of Santa Barbara County has been selected to receive $20,000 in grant funding from the Delta Dental Community Care Foundation. The funding will support the Foodbank’s ongoing emergency response and services to those hit hardest economically by the pandemic. Over the past 15 months, the staff at the Foodbank has been working tirelessly to serve those in need during the pandemic, doling out double the amount of food this past year compared to prior years. The organization also added Saturdays as a food distribution day during the pandemic to serve those who could not make it to the Foodbank on weekdays. “(The grant) assists in our objective of trying to deal with the economic tail of the COVID disaster,” Foodbank CEO Erik Talkin told the News-Press. “There’s a general feeling that things are returning to normal, but often, even if people are re-employed, they have considerable debt as a result of the last 18 months.” He continued, “We project it will take another 18 to 24 months for people to get back financially to where they were. So that means people will need extra food help to rebuild and get back to their financial situation.” The Foodbank is one of 22 food banks across the state slated to receive funding from Delta Dental. The grant funding ranges from $20,000 to $250,000, totalling $1.5 million in grants from the foundation. “The Delta Dental Community Care Foundation is committed to building healthier, more resilient communities across California, and access to healthy food is crucial to that effort,”

Kenzie Ferguson, the vice president of the Delta Dental Community Care Foundation, said in a statement to the News-Press. “Food insecurity rates in Santa Barbara County are staggering — with the Santa Barbara Foundation estimating they’re as high as 10%. We wanted to support the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County as it helps families recover from the economic

effects of the pandemic.” This is the second time the Foodbank has received a grant from the Delta Dental foundation. The foundation also gave money to the Foodbank last winter to continue supporting its distribution efforts during the holiday season. Lauren Coiro, the grants manager for the Foodbank, told the News-Press

that she is “tremendously grateful” for the support of Delta Dental and very appreciative to receive another grant from the foundation. “We’re very grateful for the relationship with Delta Dental and we’re hoping we can continue it in the future,” Ms. Coiro said.

Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was sentenced to 22.5 years in prison on Friday for the murder of George Floyd. In April, Mr. Chauvin was found guilty on three counts — second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter — after the former officer knelt on Mr. Floyd’s neck during an arrest in May 2020. Under Minnesota law, Mr. Chauvin will be required to serve two-thirds of his sentence, which equates to about 15 years. He will then be eligible for supervised release for the remainder of his sentence. Presiding Judge Peter Cahill said Mr. Chauvin’s case warranted a harsher sentence because he “abused his position of trust or authority” and treated Mr. Floyd “with particular cruelty.” The judge added that Mr. Chauvin “remained indifferent to Mr. Floyd’s pleas even as Mr. Floyd was begging for his life and obviously terrified by the knowledge that he was going to die.” “Mr. Chauvin’s prolonged restraint of Mr. Floyd was also much longer and more painful than the typical scenario in a second-degree or third-degree murder or second-degree manslaughter case,” Mr. Cahill wrote in a 22page memorandum. During the sentencing, members of Mr. Floyd’s family delivered multiple victim impact statements, including his 7-year-old daughter Gianna. Terrance Floyd, one of Mr. Floyd’s brothers, asked the judge to issue the maximum sentence. Mr. Chauvin also spoke during the sentencing, offering condolences to the Floyd family.

During the pandemic, the Foodbank distributed twice as much food as usual.

“I do think there’s optimism that we are getting to the end of the pandemic and the restrictions that the pandemic brought with it,” said Dr. Paul Erickson, the medical director and chair of psychiatry and chemical dependency services at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. “And I think overall that’s going to be positive for people’s mental health.”

SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 2021 Deputies from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office allegedly found these items in the residence of Miguel Alcazar, a suspect whom police took into custody on Thursday in Santa Maria.

TRAFFIC, CRIME AND FIRE BLOTTER SANTA MARIA — The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office released more information Friday about a suspect taken into custody in Santa Maria on Thursday. Deputies attempted to serve a warrant to 42year-old Miguel Alcazar at his residence in the 300 block of East Enos Drive in Santa Maria at around 7 a.m. Thursday. Detectives were able to make entry into the residence, but Mr. Alcazar allegedly would not surrender. The deputies alleged that a semi-automatic rifle was visible in the room Mr. Alcazar was last known to be in, which led officers to set a

perimeter around the apartment and vacate the surrounding and affected residences. Santa Maria police and the Sheriff’s Special Enforcement Team assisted in the effort to take Mr. Alcazar into custody. While police were attempting to take the suspect into custody, Mr. Alcazar allegedly gained access to another apartment through an attic crawl space. Members of the SET located him there and took him into custody around 11:19 a.m. Thursday. After searching the suspect’s residence, police allegedly found two unserialized semi-automatic rifles, a semi-automatic pistol, ammunition, heroin, fentanyl and methamphetamine, according to a news release from the Sheriff’s Office. Mr. Alcazar was transported to the Santa

Barbara County jail where he was booked on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm (felony), obstructing a peace officer (misdemeanor), burglary (felony), prohibited person in possession of ammunition (felony), possession of a controlled substance for sale (felony), possession of a baton (felony) and a warrant for a violation of Post Release Supervision. He is being held without bail. Deputies had attempted to contact Mr. Alcazar two weeks earlier at a traffic stop, but he allegedly fled the scene and caused a traffic pursuit. Police ended the pursuit in the interest of public safety after Mr. Alcazar allegedly ran multiple red lights and drove through opposing traffic. — Madison Hirneisen

of routine and structure and lack of social contact that every human being needs has been so disrupted by COVID, and I think that has mental health impacts as well.” In addition to the stress of the pandemic and the social isolation, Dr. Erickson said the increase in mental health struggles could also be attributed to the loss of life. In Santa Barbara County, 455 people died of COVID-19 leaving behind family members and friends. Dr. Erickson said the loss of loved ones is another likely reason why the rates of anxiety and depression are not only rising in the county, but across the nation. The increased rate of anxiety and depression among clients has also been noted by the Santa Barbara County Behavioral Wellness Department. When the pandemic first hit, the department quickly pivoted to offer telehealth services to clients, though the offices stayed open for in-person services. According to Suzanne Grimmessey, the public information officer for Behavioral Wellness, demand for outpatient services grew by a small margin during the pandemic. “We’ve certainly seen the impact (of COVID-19) as far as the increased number of people calling in to connect (through telehealth),” she told the NewsPress. In addition to outpatient services, the Behavioral Wellness Department also has a 24/7 crisis access line, where community members can call in and receive immediate assistance when facing a crisis. Anecdotally, Ms. Grimmessey said that a number of operators answering calls on the 24/7 crisis access line reported the calls “having greater intensity” than

before the pandemic, indicating an increase in mental health crises. As the region starts to slowly reopen, Ms. Grimmessey said Behavioral Wellness is encouraging those facing mental health struggles to take one step at a time when returning to prepandemic activities. “Many people are reporting feeling some anxiety about returning to events or activities where there’s a lot of people around even though the guidance tells us it’s okay,” Ms. Grimmessey said. “There are still a lot of people feeling a lot of anxiety about that.” She added, “We are encouraging people to understand that (with) the transition back to socialization, people will be at different places with that, and it’s completely OK. We are encouraging people to set their own pace and comfort level for returning to activities, and for those feeling anxious to get out in public in a way that feels safe for them.” Though there may be some anxiety with the impending return to pre-pandemic life, Dr. Erickson said he believes the reopenings will be overall positive for those who have struggled with mental health issues due to the pandemic. “I do think there’s optimism that we are getting to the end of the pandemic and the restrictions that the pandemic brought with it,” he said. “And I think overall that’s going to be positive for people’s mental health. All of the things that the pandemic brought where people were not able to see each other socially as much, normal routines were disrupted — all of those things, I think will be getting better rapidly, and I think that’s going to be better overall.” email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

number of 5150 patients doubled at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital between May 2020 and May 2021. In addition, the length of time a patient spent in the Emergency Department increased during the COVID-19 crisis. Dr. Erickson said this was largely because social distancing requirements only allowed one bed per room when normally two beds would be placed in a room. With more people seeking service, it became more difficult to find open psychiatric beds, and that caused extended Emergency Department stays. “On average, a year ago, we would be able to have a patient be in the Emergency Department about 16 hours before they got to another hospital,” Dr. Erickson said. “As of this May, it’s gone up to 28 hours. Now those are averages, so some (patients) get to a hospital within a few hours, and others can stay two or three days or more, so there’s a wide variation of how long people stay in our Emergency Department. For some people it’s hours, and for some people it’s days.” While there are clear increases in the number of people hospitalized for mental health issues, Dr. Erickson said it’s hard to pinpoint exactly why they are occuring. In addition to the stress of isolation and disruption of routines, Dr. Erickson said that for some people, limited access to telehealth made it more difficult to connect with service providers. “To some extent, (patients) have less contact with their treaters, and for some people it’s either too difficult to figure out meeting on Zoom or it just doesn’t work out for them,” Dr. Erickson said. “(Patients) may also not be as adherent to the medications they were taking. I think also the stress that the lack

of 2019, when one in 10 adults reported symptoms, according to a National Health Interview Survey. The national rise in anxiety and depression during the pandemic even had implications in Santa Barbara County, where health care providers reported an increase in the number of emergency room patients and psychiatric ward patients reporting symptoms of anxiety and depression. Dr. Paul Erickson, the medical director and chair of psychiatry and chemical dependency services at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, told the News-Press that there’s been an increase in the number of emergency room patients coming to the hospital for help with mental health and substance abuse problems related to the impacts of COVID-19. “I think the social isolation, the being at home, having a lot of time on people’s hands, missing the structure and routine and the social contact at work — I think all of those things have affected people so much that we have seen people who have come into the hospital and saying they have more anxiety and depression,” Dr. Erickson told the News-Press. While more people are voluntarily coming to the Emergency Department for mental health and substance abuse issues, Dr. Erickson said Cottage Hospital has also seen an increase in the number of people involuntarily hospitalized with a 5150, a medical designation. When a 5150 occurs, a person is involuntarily hospitalized for posing a risk to themselves or others. When this happens, a person assigned a 5150 is taken into custody for a period of up to 72 hours for psychiatric assessment, evaluation and crisis intervention, or they are placed in a treatment facility, according to California law.

Santa Barbara County is in a state of extreme drought, according to recent data released by the National Drought Mitigation Center.

Montecito Water District urges conservation By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

The Montecito Water District is urging its customers to ramp up water conservation efforts because Santa Barbara County remains in a state of extreme drought. According to data released from the National Drought Mitigation Center Thursday, many counties along the Central Coast are in a state of extreme drought, including Santa Barbara County. As the impacts of climate change take hold, officials from the Montecito Water District, which serves customers in Montecito and Summerland, say action is needed to make sure there is enough water supply for the current drought and future ones. “With the drought condition worsening, we are asking all customers to partner with us immediately to reduce usage,” Nick Turner, the general manager of the Montecito Water District, said in a statement. “The district is well positioned with a drought-resilient portfolio, but customer use is now over budget and supplies are not unlimited.” The district said reducing water consumption is a must as the region faces unknowns in terms of future droughts. Officials are encouraging all customers to compare current water usage to prior years and make adjustments to reduce use. The effort to prepare for future droughts comes after the Montecito Water District Board of Directors voted unanimously in favor of Resolution 2212 to adopt the Urban Water Management Plan 2020. The plan will now be submitted to the California Department of Water Resource. It will be filed before the July 1 deadline. The plan was developed over several months

with feedback from the district board, staff and members of the public. Within it, officials recognized three unique service challenges facing the Montecito Water District in its service area. First, officials noted that inaccurate census data has made it difficult to get an accurate count of how many residents live in the district’s service area in Montecito and Summerland. Part of the problem is that it’s hard to account for seasonal or summer homes in the region. Therefore, it’s difficult to track the number of people residing in the area seasonally, according to the district. In response to this complication, staff plans to continue to research methods to account for the area’s unaccounted population and collect data that better reflects water demand. The second challenge facing the Montecito Water District has to do with the state’s incentives for urban retail water suppliers who deliver water from a groundwater basin, reservoir or other source that is replenished by potable reuse water. Currently the state does not identify desalinated water as part of the incentive program, and district staff are requesting that the state expand the incentive program to include this kind of water. The final challenge identified in the plan has to do with the growing trend of residential and community garden projects. This could include small personal farms, hobby gardens or community food producers, and even small agricultural operations run on parcels across the service area. With these projects requiring adequate water sources, staff plan to monitor Department of Water Resource guidance for small agricultural operations.

The happiest place on Earth just got happier. Fireworks and the Disneyland Band are back at the Anaheim theme park as the world continues to look — and sound — more normal. Beginning on the Fourth of July, fireworks will soar again above Sleeping Beauty Castle. This time around, the show is called “Mickey’s Mix Magic,” and it will feature state-of-the-art projections, show lighting and lasers that will transform the castle; Main Street, U.S.A.; and the façade of “it’s a small world.” The show will honor Mickey Mouse. And in Florida, fireworks will soar again at Walt Disney World. They’ll grace the night

In addition, the Disneyland Hotel is starting its phased reopening on July 2. From July 5 to Oct. 3, guests can save 20 percent on select rooms there and 25 percent at Disney’s Grand Californian & Spa. Like the Disneyland Hotel, the Grand Californian and Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel are undergoing a phased reopening. All three are on the Disneyland Resort property. The resort also includes Disney’s California Adventure, which is welcoming guests and has a new land: the Avengers Campus. There are also the favorites such as Pixar Pier.

Ceramic artist

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

ow what? Lynda Weinman never had to ask the question after she and her husband Bruce Heavin, sold their company, lynda.com, an online software training website, to Linkedin in 2015 for $1.5 billion. She knew exactly what she wanted to do. “While I was in high school, I loved to spend all my spare time making pottery. So one of the first things I did was take a ceramics class at Adult Ed,” Ms. Weinman told the News-Press. “But I didn’t like it. It was too crowded. I couldn’t get the individual attention I needed.” Fortunately, the Montecito resident discovered that there was a workshop at the Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass Village, Colo. The title was “Digitally Fabricated Molds for Ceramics.” “Not exactly a catchy name, but a lightbulb went on for me because I knew all about computer graphics but nothing about ceramics. I hadn’t done any for 50 years,” said Ms. Weinman, who worked in the film industry as a special effects animator and has taught computer graphics, animation interactive design and motion graphics at the Art Center College of Design, American Film Institute and San Francisco State University. She has published more than 20 books dealing with Photoshop, web design and other program development. The two-week workshop during summer 2019 was taught by Del Harrow, and there were 15 in the group, all women, which was a surprise for Ms. Weinman. “When I taught computer graphics, there were usually half women and half men, never all

women,” she said. The experience proved to be a “life changer” for Ms. Weisman. “It gave me confidence. I could leverage my knowledge of digital graphics.” In fact, while she was still in Colorado, she reached out to Patrick Hill in Santa Barbara. He founded The Clay Studio, a nonprofit community center dedicated to ceramic arts. Mr. Hill, who began working in clay at age 14, fell in love with the process and earned his bachelor’s degree in studio art/ceramics and his MFA at UCSB. After 28 years as a designer and builder, he retired and returned to his first love of clay in 2013. “When I came back to Santa Barbara, Patrick and I collaborated on establishing The Clay Studio in a 28,000 square foot building in a rural unincorporated area of Goleta. It was in total disrepair, but with our combined resources, we renovated it,” said Ms. Weinman. Two weeks before it was due to open for classes, workshops and spaces for artists, the pandemic shut everything down. “So I bought a 3D printer for the dining room in our house since we weren’t going to be giving any dinner parties. I got good at it. From the time I woke up everyday until I went to sleep, I designed pottery. I made hundreds of pieces and had multiple shows,” said Ms. Weinman. Along with more conventional pieces like bowls, teacups and “things with lids,” she designed unconventional items such as a 6-foot-tall ceramic cactus and 150 flowers for the gardens at Casa del Herrero in Montecito. All of the profits from sales of her pieces go to The Clay Studio, which is located at 1351 Holiday Please see WEINMAN on B2

Hill Road. Several of her pieces were on exhibit recently at Sullivan Goss: An American Gallery in downtown Santa Barbara. “They’re art objects that you put on the shelf and look at,” said Ms. Weinman, adding that she has “always loved the arts, supported the arts, and now I’m a practicing artist, which keeps me 100 percent engaged and excited. “I’ve discovered a new passion — 3D printing — and rediscovered an old one — making pottery. I’m even going to have my own ceramics studio in our custom home that is being built and should be finished by the end of the year.” She has a blog at www. claybottress.com and a YouTube channel that chronicles her journey as an artist and a maker. When asked about reaction from friends and family about her new skill, Ms. Weinman said. “Everyone is amazed, including myself.”

Maritime Museum presents ‘Wave Woman’ talks By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum is hosting a discussion with two surfers about iconic women in surfing. Speakers are Vicky Durand, author of “Wave Woman: The Life and Struggles of a Surfing Pioneer,” and Heather Hudson, producer of “93 Letters from Marge” and “The Women of the Waves” films. The book presentation, questionand-answer session and signing event will take place in the museum’s Munger Theater at 4 p.m. July 29 with limited seating. The event is free with museum admission, but reservations are required and can be made online

at reservations@sbmm.org. Maritime Museum members who attend will get a 25% discount on the purchase of Ms. Durand’s book and a 10% discount on Ms. Hudson’s DVDs and posters. In their work, the surfing women pay homage to inspiring surfing icons. Ms. Durand’s book, “Wave Woman,” is a biography of her mother, Betty Pembroke Heldreich Winstedt, who was one of the first women surfers in the mid1950s who competed in big wave competitions and won first place in Lima, Peru. The author herself won the Makaha International Surfing Championships in 1957, an early contest that included women, and she and her mother were invited to Club Waikiki as

Hawaiian Surfing ambassadors. Ms. Hudson’s films, “The Women of the Waves” and “The Women of the Waves 2,” premiered at the Maritime Museum, are screened in the Munger Theater on Saturdays and are available for purchase in the Maritime Museum store. Ms. Hudson is a Santa Barbara film producer, and has worked for nearly 20 years with Heal the Ocean in a commitment to end ocean pollution. In 2012, the filmmaker was named to Heal the Ocean’s board of directors. Ms. Durand and Ms. Hudson will also have an exhibit and presentation at the California Surf M Museum in Oceanside. email: gmccormick@newspress. com

Cancer center promotes sun safety By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

The Ridley-Tree Cancer Center is adding sun safety to the United Way of Santa Barbara County’s Fun in the Sun program. FITS is a six-week summer program for youths in grades 2-12. The program is hands-on and features academic rotations based on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) and literacy curriculum.

Diversions horoscope • puzzles

By Dave Green

ARIES — Pay close attention to your friends today, Aries. One of them may be going through a tough time and need a little extra support and attention. If you can, gather several buddies together and organize an impromptu lunch or dinner or any other activity that allows you to laugh, bond, and share. Your friendships are a treasure to be cherished and nurtured. TAURUS — Your artistic nature is especially heightened today, Taurus. Your heart and brain are working together to create something great. Use your creative abilities to make a bold statement. Have a good time. There may be a tendency toward laziness. If sitting on the couch is all you want to do, that’s fine. Realize that there’s a great deal of potential energy available to you if you choose to harness it. GEMINI — Nothing will escape your attention today, Gemini. Your sixth sense is right on target. Your mind is razor sharp and emotions extra sensitive. You will move through this day with your radar fully intact. You’re like a detective cutting through to the core of every issue. You will be able to get quite a bit accomplished with very little effort. Things will naturally flow your way. CANCER — You may feel like you’re ready to get the party started today, Cancer, but for some reason, the people around you aren’t exactly following suit. Perhaps you need to slow down and wait for others to catch up. They may end up not coming around at all. If people say they’re doing fine, don’t necessarily believe them. There’s most likely something brewing beneath the surface that needs attention. LEO — Don’t worry so much about getting things done today, Leo. Instead, concentrate on your feelings and relationships. A caring, sensitive attitude is needed, as opposed to a harsh, militant way of dealing with things. You will find that by adopting a tender, nurturing tone, people will be much more receptive to you in general. VIRGO — Don’t get sad if no one is laughing at your jokes today, Virgo. It doesn’t mean you aren’t funny. It just means that people may not be in the mood to laugh. Ridiculous as it seems, today is simply a better to cry. Monday, November 16,day 2015 Let out all your pent-up emotions.

Talk things over with others. Your heart communicates well through you today. LIBRA — Don’t be shy today, Libra. Express how you feel. The more you share with others, the more they will be encouraged to share themselves with you. Today may be filled with a great many tender moments that are worth documenting in your journal tonight. Your thinking is clear and in line with your deepest and truest emotions. You’re the star of the show. SCORPIO — Hold your temper today, Scorpio. No one wants to argue. It may be tough to connect with the people around you, but this isn’t a reason to get upset. Tone things down and speak more softly. Listen to what others have to say. There may be a bit of a disruption in your daily routine. Others may challenge what you’re feeling. Don’t doubt yourself. SAGITTARIUS — Today is an excellent day for you, Sagittarius. You will discover many opportunities. You would do well to work with others by tuning into your sensitive nature and chiming in to the energy of the group. Your grounding and stability are exactly what are needed to give order to the fluctuating, indecisive minds you’re working with. CAPRICORN — Today is a good day for you, Capricorn. New opportunities will abound in your regular routine. Work with a group to accomplish something greater than you could do by yourself. Tune in to the energy of the collective. You have exactly the right qualities that others need today. Use them. AQUARIUS — Your intuition is more reliable than your mind today, Aquarius. This is a terrific day in which you should enjoy a good mood and clear head. Your emotions are high, so take advantage of this energy and share it with others. Your generous, nurturing spirit is in demand. If you had a nickel for every good piece of psychological advice you dispense today, you’d be a millionaire. PISCES — You may feel extra dreamy today, Pisces. Your moods may fluctuate. It may be hard to get other people to share your boisterous good humor. Trying to get people to jump on your bandwagon of excitement may be difficult. Perhaps there’s something going on with them and their emotions that you simply aren’t noticing. Pay attention.

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.

President Joe Biden and a bipartisan group of senators reached a deal at the White House Thursday concerning a massive infrastructure bill that would improve the nation’s roads, bridges and broadband. A group of senators met with Mr. Biden at the White House Thursday to discuss the proposed infrastructure bill. The meeting came after weeks of deliberations over how to pay for what would be the largest infrastructure package approved by Congress. The proposed $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan would allocate funds over eight years and included $579 billion in new spending. Within the plan, $312 billion would be allocated for modernizing and improving transportation and $266 billion would be allocated for additional updates to broadband, power, water and environmental remediation. After Thursday’s meeting, President Biden triumphantly told reporters outside the West Wing that a deal had been reached and that the group had achieved “serious compromise on both sides.” Mr. Biden, however, told lawmakers that he would only sign the bill if it included measures for “human infrastructure” programs like childcare and tax credits for families, which are a broader part of the president’s sweeping infrastructure goals. The bill already has support from 21 senators — 11 Republicans and 10 Democrats — but will likely need the support of Democratic leaders to garner the 60 votes needed to rise above a filibuster and pass in the Senate. U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, DSanta Barbara, praised the Biden administration’s support of the infrastructure plan following Thursday’s meeting. “Gridlock has kept us from modernizing our roads, bridges, trains, buses, and water pipes for long enough,” Rep. Carbajal said in a statement. “This deal is proof that we can

get things done if we roll up our sleeves and work together. Glad President Biden achieved this bipartisan deal, which has eluded previous administrations.” Rep. Carbajal sits on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, which passed the Invest in America Act earlier this month to fund improvements to transportation. Through the plan, the congressman secured $20 million for Central Coast projects that will ease traffic on Highway 101 and create new bike paths. With this bill passed, Rep. Carbajal is hopeful Congress will take the next step and pass the proposed bipartisan infrastructure bill. “I will keep fighting to make sure we invest in the things that matter, including funding to tackle the climate crisis and measures to create good-paying jobs,” Rep. Carbajal said in a statement. “Now let’s get to work on another comprehensive plan to meet the needs of Central Coast families,” he said, referring to the infrastructure bill. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com
