Vaccine mandate sought at SBCC City College students, faculty, staff call for requirement; UCSB to mandate, Westmont and Hancock won’t By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A number of Santa Barbara City College students, faculty and staff called upon the college’s Board of Trustees Thursday to overturn a previous board decision and institute a vaccine mandate before classes begin in the fall. The plea from the public comes after trustees voted against a vaccine mandate for the fall semester during a board meeting June 24. The vote that day was split 4-3, with trustees Kate Parker, Peter Haslund, Robert Miller and Veronica Gallardo opposed. During Thursday’s meeting, the Board of Trustees were met by more than a dozen public commenters, the majority of whom voiced discontentment with the trustees’ prior decision to not require vaccination in the fall. Many of the concerned citizens said the lack of a mandate puts students, faculty and staff at risk of contracting COVID-19. The trustees did not take any action at Thursday’s meeting, where passions were clearly strong among proponents and opponents of the mandate. According to the results of a recent City College survey, 71% of faculty and 80% of staff at the college support a vaccine mandate. Multiple faculty and staff members told the board Thursday that the survey results should push the trustees to enforce a vaccine requirement, which they said would be in the best interest of City College employees. “There is strong campus support (for the mandate),” Raeanne Napoleon, the president of the Academic Senate, said Thursday. “You want us to open the campus in the fall with little disruption — get us this vaccine mandate,” she added. During her comments, Ms. Napoleon blasted the board for following “political motivations and not public health motivations” when it comes to the school’s COVID-19 policy. She echoed the complaints of many public commenters, many of whom are concerned about potential disease spread without a vaccine mandate. Marian Shapiro, a 79-year-old student enrolled in City College’s extended learning ceramics classes, said she and other seniors enrolled in the college’s programs feel unsafe continuing in-person classes without a vaccine mandate in place. She pleaded with the board to require vaccinations for all students in order to protect the school’s most vulnerable populations. “I don’t want to take any chances being indoors with unvaccinated people,” Ms. Shapiro said. “I’m hearing this from many of my senior classmates who are similarly upset about the 3-4 vote against vaccination mandate.” “We are extremely disappointed that our trustees voted against what science and public health experts say is the best way to protect against COVID,” she later added. Former student Ethan Bertrand, who is also an elected representative of the Isla Vista Community Services District, told the board that he remains concerned for the health and safety of not just the students, but the community as well. Mr. Bertrand encouraged the board

Members of the public pleaded with the Santa Barbara City College Board of Trustees to institute a masking mandate for the fall semester during a board meeting Thursday. The board voted in June to not require vaccination for all students returning to campus this fall.

to align with the University of California system’s mandate, which requires that all on campus students be fully vaccinated for the fall semester. “SBCC is well positioned to help increase vaccination rates for younger people by requiring students and staff to be vaccinated before returning to campus in person to the extent allowed by law,” Mr. Bertrand said. “This policy would be analogous with the University of California’s policy, and it could be done in an inclusive, supportive and equitable manner helping to curb the spread of the virus at the college.” The board’s conversation on Thursday falls into a larger national debate that many college and university officials are facing right now regarding the need for a vaccine mandate. Even locally, colleges differ on vaccination policies. At UCSB, all students will be required to be fully vaccinated before returning to campus in the fall, according to recent guidelines announced by the UC system. Westmont College and Allan Hancock College, on the other hand, will not be enforcing a vaccine mandate on their campuses. During the fall semester, students at Westmont College will be required to wear masks indoors while attending classes at the Montecito campus. In addition, unvaccinated students will be tested at the beginning of the semester. “The college will continue to comply with best practices identified by California, Santa Barbara County and the Center for Disease Control,” Jason Taverez, Westmont director of

The University of California regents voted Thursday to raise undergraduate tuition rates starting next year. In a 17-5 vote, the regents approved an increase to tuition and fees tied to inflation that will apply to undergraduates entering the UC system in the fall of 2022. The increase would not apply to current students. Next fall, incoming students will be charged an additional 4.2% in tuition fees, which accounts for inflation plus a 2% surcharge. For the incoming freshman class in 2022, that amounts to an increase of about $534 during the first year. After the first year, the UC system will phase out the surcharge by half a percent over the next six years. Every successive class entering the UC system after 2022 will pay a smaller surcharge amount until the charges are completely phased out by 2026. Each class of students will pay a flat rate for up to six years according to the established inflation and surcharge rates that are in place when they begin their education. Please see UCSB on A2

Senators propose more money for water sources By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

According to the results of a recent SBCC survey, 71% of faculty and 80% of staff at SBCC support a vaccine mandate.

institutional resilience, told the News-Press in a statement. At Allan Hancock College, administrators plan to follow guidance from the California Department of Public Health when it comes to masking and social distancing. They plan to release more detailed COVID-19 policies by Aug. 1 for the college, which has its main campus in Santa Maria. As Santa Barbara City College trustees continue to weigh the best path forward for the fall semester, they are wading through the divided opinions of staff and community members, some of whom support the board’s current policy. Public commenter Aimee Smith voiced agreement with the board’s current COVID-19 policies, claiming that the vaccines are unsafe and can lead to negative

long-term impacts. Most of Dr. Smith’s claims, however, were largely unverified and went against the evidence public health officials nationwide are presenting to prove vaccine safety. “I strongly urge you to resist the pressure and the temptation and stand up for the rights of individuals that the angry, scared mob is willing to trample,” Dr. Smith said of the other commenters. Dr. Smith’s comments received backlash from Bronwen Moore, a City College mathematics professor, who said the science is clear — the vaccines are safe. Ms. Moore said the “my body, my right” argument touted by many people opposed to the vaccine does not hold weight in a setting where a large number of people could be at risk of illness.

“Is it really ‘my body, my right’ to expose the faculty, staff and students who did the right thing and got vaccinated?” Ms. Moore said. “I say, instead ‘my body my right,’ to you the trustees, it’s ‘our community, your responsibility’ to listen to the real science, not that gibberish that was just stated.” While the trustees did not say whether they would make any changes to their policy, Board President Dr. Peter Halsand said the trustees would continue to weigh their options moving forward. “If there’s one thing this board can agree on, it’s that this is a complicated issue,” Dr. Halsand said. “We’re struggling, and we will continue to struggle, and hopefully we’ll do the right thing.” email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

While California deals with its drought, U.S. Sens. Alex Padilla and Dianne Feinstein are seeking more money for water sources. The California Democrats on Friday introduced legislation to boost funding for the Environmental Protection Agency’s pilot program for grants for alternative water sources. According to Sen. Padilla’s office, the funding would help to promote groundwater recharge, stormwater capture and reuse, and water recycling projects. The Water Reuse and Resiliency Act, which is cosponsored by Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Georgia. would authorize $1 billion over five years for the EPA program. This is an increase from the $125 million over five years authorized for the program in the Drinking Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Act passed by the Senate in April. “As the climate crisis exacerbates drought conditions in California Please see WATER on A4

The goal of this tuition plan, according to UC President Michael Drake, is to provide financial predictability to families and make a UC education more affordable for many low-income students. During Thursday’s meeting, Dr. Drake told officials that under the new plan, more than half of UC undergraduates would see no net increase to tuition fees. This is because 55% of students currently have their tuition and fees covered by need-based UC grants. Dr. Drake explained that 40% of revenue generated under the new plan would be set aside for financial aid. He said the increased money available for financial aid recipients would

While the plan received overall approval from the regents, a few officials voiced opposition during Thursday’s meeting. The pandemic’s impact on financial stability compounded with the whopping $1.27 billion in state funding given to the UC system this year had some officials questioning the timing of the tuition hike. “I’m disappointed that the UC Regents voted to approve ongoing tuition increases (Thursday),” Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis, a former regent, said in a tweet. “This year, our state general fund allocates $1.3 billion in new spending to the UC — it’s the wrong time to ask

more than make up for the tuition increase. “Here’s the bottom line. Due to the increased level of student aid generated under this model, the net cost of attendance for most California resident undergraduates will be less under this plan than if tuition were to remain flat,” Dr. Drake told the regents. After years of unstable funding sources, crowded classrooms and dorms, Dr. Drake said this plan would get the UC system on a more “secure and stable way forward” by creating more predictability and affordability for students.

Lake Cachuma, seen here with its Bradbury Dam, is a key source of water in Santa Barbara County. On Friday, U.S. Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Alex Padilla introduced legislation to fund alternative water sources such as groundwater recharge, stormwater capture and reuse, and water recycling projects.

‘We have to start using water much more efficiently’ WATER

Continued from Page A1 and throughout the West, we need to be proactive in strengthening and diversifying our water supply,” Sen. Padilla said in a statement. “Projects to modernize our water infrastructure have to be considered a national priority. “This bill will boost funding for alternative water source projects that are key to improving our resiliency against drought,” he continued. “California is bearing the brunt of the impacts of the climate crisis, but we are also on the forefront of innovative ways to combat this crisis.” Sen. Feinstein also discussed the bill. “Climate change and the resulting extreme droughts mean we have to start using water much more efficiently,” she said in a statement. “Investing in water recycling is an important part of that effort. Our bill authorizes $200 million a year in new EPA funding to support projects that help us better use our existing

water supply.” In his statement, Sen. Ossoff said the bill would help the nation. “This bill will upgrade water infrastructure in Georgia and nationwide to improve water quality, increase efficiency and resilience, and help farmers survive droughts.” The Water Reuse and Resiliency Act is supported by the California Association of Sanitation Agencies, the Association of California Water Agencies, the National Association of Clean Water Agencies, WateReuse Association, the Las VirgenesTriunfo Joint Powers Authority, the Metropolitan Water District, the Orange County Sanitation District, the Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District and the Santa Clara Valley Water District. This week, Sen. Padilla supported providing $200 million per year for the Alternative Water Source Projects program in a letter to Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-New York, and Sen. Tom Carper, D-Delaware, who chairs the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. Sen. Padilla led the letter, which

was also signed by Sens. Feinstein; Tim Kaine, D-Virginia; and Jacky Rosen, D-Nevada, as well as Sen. Ossoff. People involved in water resources have expressed support for the proposal. “As historic drought grips California and the West, and record-breaking rainfall inundates other parts of the country, it is critically important the nation modernize and adapt our water systems for the 21st century,” said E. Joaquin Esquivel, who chairs the State Water Resources Control Board. In its news release, Sen. Padilla’s office said the senator has made developing sustainable water supplies a critical priority as California enters its second year of drought conditions. Sen. Padilla authored an amendment to the bipartisan Drinking Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Act to make stormwater reuse and groundwater recharge projects eligible for the newly reauthorized EPA Alternative Water Source Projects pilot program. email: dmason@newspress.com

More movies ahead

Question remains what will be the blockbusters By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

No one could have predicted “Space Jam: A New Legacy” would sneak a slam dunk past “Black Widow.” But that’s how the ball has bounced at the box office this summer. Will “Jungle Cruise” be the hit Disney hopes? Movies based on theme park rides have a mixed record, but this one offers action, comedy and, drum roll please, the back side of water! (Or as Disneyland fans say, “O2H! O2H!”) Let’s look at movie history. Disneyland’s Pirates of the Caribbean inspired the blockbuster franchise of the same name, which in turn inspired Disney to add star Johnny Depp’s likeness to the rides at Disneyland and Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. (Disneyland fans got a treat one day when the reallife Johnny Depp showed up one day and pretended to be his animatronic double. One fan yelled, “Are you real?”) “Pirates” movies have taken their share of buried treasure at the box office, but not every theme park movie is so lucky. Certainly Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion is more memorable than the 2003 Eddie Murphy movie it inspired. “Jungle Cruise,” though, has an advantage with powerhouse stars Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt. Star power means a lot. Fans love Margo Robbie as Harley Quinn, but it’s hard to predict how the second try at DC Comics/Warner Bros.’ “Suicide Squad” will do. But the bigger question might be: What will fans think of “Hotel Transylvania: Transformia?” The animated sequel premieres today but without Adam Sandler as the voice of Count Dracula, which would seem unthinkable. Can fans sink their teeth into that? Here’s the schedule for the rest of the summer.

Still playing • “Black Widow.” Scarlett Johansson is back as the popular Marvel superhero in the longawaited film. Black Widow, aka Natasha Romanoff, gave her life to save the universe in “Avengers: End Game,” but this film is set between “Captain America: Civil War” and “Avengers: Infinity War” and shows more of Natasha’s background. The director is Cate Shortland. • “Space Jam: A New Legacy.” The first “Space Jam” movie came out in 1996 and teamed basketball great Michael Jordan with Bugs

“Black Widow” was expected to be an unbeatable hit, but was knocked out of first place at the box office by “Space Jam.”

‘Dancing with Paint’

Marlene Struss selects intriguing title for solo exhibit

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

hy did Marlene Struss, a longtime Santa Barbara artist, choose the provocative title, “Dancing with Paint,” for her firsttime exhibit at the Architectural Foundation of Santa Barbara Gallery? For a very good reason, it seems. “My parents, both Marines, met at a USO dance, and dancing seems to be in our blood,” Ms. Struss told the News-Press. “Everybody in my family likes to dance. So right off, dancing is a very joyful activity to me, and the word symbolizes the joy and excitement I feel when I’m working in my home studio, and it’s also something I do a lot in the studio while listening to mostly Japanese, Indian or classical Western music. “More than that, dancing represents the partnership I feel with my abstract paintings themselves,” she continued. “It’s as if we take turns taking the lead in the dance. I start the process by interacting with the panel with paint, splashing, impressing, blowing around, whatever feels right. And then the painting calls out for more blue or add green or emphasize this. And back and forth it goes, layer by layer of paint. “Bearing in mind that I am painting abstractly and not from a preconceived image helps me not to ‘force’ anything and break the color harmony and balance my painting and I are achieving. Sometimes the dance is short, and the painting comes together quickly, and sometimes we struggle but ultimately come to a place where we are completely satisfied with the result.” Rather than try to teach a lesson or tell a story with her artwork, Ms. Struss said she has “faith in my aesthetic sense. I know I will produce something that speaks to the viewer. Once the panel is enlivened with the background color, from then on, I allow the painting itself to lead, calling out to me for a particular hue or other balancing element or for a chance to dry naturally into surprising organic patterns. “For me, painting is exhilarating exploration — play, if you will — of the effects of acrylic paint of varying viscosities and additives applied or removed with unusual tools and forces aided by instrumental or ambient music. “This process, best labeled biomorphic abstract expressionism, emulates the game of life where the future is unpredictable, but the past never completely disappears. The paintings pay homage to the mysteries of nature and creation and serve as an antidote to the anxiety of the manmade world.” Born in San Jose, one of six children, Ms. Struss told the NewsPress she was “super shy until I was about 10 years old, when I came out of my bubble, as I always say. That shyness lent itself to my being an artist, playing alone in my room a lot, and color crayons were my favorite.” After attending Santa Clara University for two years and graduating from UCSB in 1973, she went to court reporting school at Santa Barbara Business College and in the 1980s began working for herself as a private court reporting instructor. “This opened the way for me to start really participating in the local art world and beyond and become a professional artist,” Ms. Struss said. “It also gave me the chance to do a lot of backpacking and hiking in the Southwest to really hone in on my love of nature, which influences my present day painting style, biomorphic abstract expressionism. I still have a court reporting instruction program online, which I enjoy and supplements my artist income.” It also allows her the flexibility to participate in the Santa Barbara Studio Artists, 10 West Gallery and the Abstract Art Collective. “People often ask about my concept and how I go about creating the images,“ said Ms. Struss. “Some paintings seem complete almost immediately, and others take forever. I don’t give up on a painting; I keep working on it until it’s pleasing to my eye. Playing God like this, being Please see STRUSS on B2

Continued from Page B1 completely in the ‘now’ when I paint and loving all colors is probably the reason each of my pieces is quite different from the others. Each is unique, like each living being is unique.” When she is frequently asked what inspires her paintings, the artist answered, “I’ve chosen to honor nature in my paintings by using organic forms and patterns, so surely nature is a big inspiration. “If the question means, ‘Why do you create? Why are you an artist?,’ that goes back to events in childhood, the fun of making things, using color crayons, the praise of my teachers and parents, the games we played, my very DNA. “As I got older, I gradually made my life more about being of service, contributing to the smooth maintenance and protection of the world and its inhabitants. So in my small way, I would like to think that my fulfillment and pleasure in doing art is communicated through art to receptive viewers and patrons, who are positively affected by my works, that what is pleasing to me is also pleasing to them.” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

Expert offers cool tips for soothing a sunburn By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Summer is the best time for having fun in the sun. But health experts advise people against getting too many rays that can cause sunburn and increase the risk of skin cancer. Sunburns cause the skin to become red, swollen and warm to the touch and can bring mild to severe pain. “The acute inflammation of a sunburn is the skin’s reaction to UV rays from the sun or artificial sources such as tanning beds,” explained Tina Sary, nurse practitioner with Cottage Virtual Care. “Recurring exposure over time can trigger skin cells to turn into cancer cells.”

Children and adolescents who get frequent sunburns are at higher risk of developing skin cancer later in life, she added. The first signs of a sunburn are reddening of the skin about 3 to 5 hours after exposure, and burns can last from one day to one week, according to Ms. Sary. “Most sunburns are ‘selflimiting,’ meaning they resolve on their own. There are ways to ease the discomfort and speed up the healing process,” she said in a Cottage Health news release. “Cool compresses, aloe-based lotions and calamine lotion are the best ways to treat a sunburn. Apply these at the first sign of a sunburn and continue for the next few days as needed.” To reduce the risks of sunburn

and skin damage, she advises people to stay out of the sun, especially between 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. when the sun’s rays are strongest. She also recommends always using sunscreen and making sure to reapply it every two hours. For sunburns that need more attention, Cottage Virtual Care, a clinical provider, is available online 24/7, 365 days a year. No insurance is required, and, in most cases, treatment plans are ready in minutes, according to Cottage Health.

ARIES — You may have some issues with food, Aries. Maybe your sense of self-worth isn’t at its highest, and you’re trying to make up for this by sabotaging your relationship with your body. Food is healthy nourishment that you need in order to survive. Your body deserves respect, and you need to give it the proper fuel it needs to be healthy. TAURUS — If there’s an issue with your partner that needs airing, this is a good time to do it, Taurus. Don’t hold back just to maintain the equilibrium in the relationship. Don’t sacrifice your peace of mind just to keep from rocking the boat. Refusing to face reality just to keep up an easy facade isn’t doing anyone a bit of good. Be totally honest with yourself, your feelings, and other people. GEMINI — The intensity of the day may bring unexpected opposition, Gemini. Whether it’s verbalized or not, the confrontations are quite real. Don’t underestimate a loved one’s emotions. Stand up to these issues and be realistic about their solutions. No one expects you to have all the answers, so don’t pretend to. We’re all human and we all make mistakes. CANCER — Give your loved ones the attention they need today, Cancer. Don’t let another day go by without saying you love them. Life is short and getting shorter with each passing day. Be confrontational about a serious issue that needs addressing. You’re responsible for your feelings. Don’t play the victim. You’ll only experience more pain and resentment later. LEO — Don’t run away from the tension today, Leo. Any emotional stress you feel will be compounded if it isn’t dealt with right away. Be in the moment while the moment is here. The more you face the present, the less you will regret in the future. Clear up any sticky situation that arises and move forward. People may not understand your needs and concerns until you clearly verbalize them. VIRGO — Stop hiding behind your intellectual barrier, Virgo. Playing games will get you nowhere. True strength is standing up and demonstrating that you can say what you feel in any situation, especially regarding a close loved one. If you Monday, November 16, feel 2015the need to say something, say it. Don’t

wait until the situation escalates to an unhealthy argument before you finally get your feelings out. LIBRA — Stop trying to feel everyone else’s emotions and focus on yours, Libra. Being empathetic is certainly laudable, but at some point you need to face the music and look in the mirror. Make a clear distinction between your needs and those of others. Express your feelings. Ask for help if you need it. Other people aren’t mind readers. They probably have no idea what you’re feeling. SCORPIO — It may seem like neither side of the bed is the right side to wake up on today, Scorpio. The only solution may be is to just go back to dreamland if you can. If you can’t, focus on your heart, because it’s trying to tell you it needs some attention. Emotions may be running high, so be careful how you treat yourself and others. SAGITTARIUS — You may feel like you’re being double-crossed by a loved one today, Sagittarius. Maybe your words are being used against you in such a way that makes you look like the bad guy. When it comes to making a rebuttal on your behalf, let the other person know that you’re confronting them about their behavior and not their person. CAPRICORN — You may say one thing one minute and the opposite the next, Capricorn. Most of the time you jump from one issue to the next with no hassle, but today people probably will call you on it. Think about what you mean before you say it. Don’t do all your thinking aloud so others can hear. Your continuous thought process might be mistaken for your final analysis. Confusion could ensue. AQUARIUS — The tension in the air might be what you need in order to become more aware of subconscious issues that affect your behavior, Aquarius. There’s a great deal that you need to get off your chest. The more honest you can be about the pain people have caused you, the more love will flow in the future. Open the communication channels. PISCES — Stop being an enabler to someone you care about, Pisces. You may let someone continue a dangerous addictive behavior simply because you want to avoid a confrontation. Realize that this behavior is doing neither of you any good. The more you continue to perpetrate the lie, the more it will hurt all parties involved. Be open and honest with your concerns.

CODEWORD PUZZLE

SUDOKU

Thought for Today

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.
