Cottage encourages vaccine for pregnant women By MADISON HIRNEISEN

Cottage Health is urging all expectant mothers to get the COVID19 vaccine as soon as possible following the release of data suggesting that the virus poses a significant threat to pregnant women and their babies. According to a report published by JAMA Pediatrics earlier this year, pregnant women who contract COVID-19 are 15 times more likely to die during pregnancy and 22 times more likely to prematurely deliver their baby compared to those who do not contract COVID-19. More recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention supports this conclusion and found that pregnant women are not only more likely to contract serious COVID-19 illness, but are at increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes if they do fall ill to the virus. It’s these potentially devastating outcomes that have health officials in Santa Barbara County and beyond sounding the alarm for expectant mothers to get the vaccine as soon as possible. “The COVID vaccines are highly safe during pregnancy and are strongly recommended by expert bodies, including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecology, and are also endorsed by the Infectious Disease Society of America and the Pediatric Infectious Disease Society,” Dr. David Fisk, a doctor of infection control at Cottage Health and infectious disease specialist at Sansum Clinic, told the News-Press. “Groups that have studied these issues have come out overwhelmingly saying that pregnant mothers should get vaccinated, and the reasons are that the vaccine remains effective in pregnancy and remains safe,” he added. “The small added risk, very small added risk, that comes with any vaccine and can come along with the COVID vaccine pales in comparison to the dramatic risk of health to COVID.” A growing body of evidence compiled by the CDC finds there are no significant safety concerns for pregnant women in trials for the three available COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S. — the Pfizer, Modern and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. Additional studies completed in Israel found that the mRNA Pfizer vaccine lowered the risk of infection among expectant mothers. In addition to the evidence supporting vaccine safety, Dr. Fisk said pregnant mothers should consider getting the vaccine now as a result of the highly transmissible delta variant. He said the delta variant has shown to pose higher risk to people in their teens, 20’s and 30’s — ages when many women are in or nearing childbearing years. With pregnancy already putting stress on the heart and lungs of expectant mothers, the potential threat of complications due to the delta variant remains high, Dr. Fisk added. “We know that pregnancy taxes the body of the mother,” Dr. Fisk said. “The mother’s body is really stressed — many times close to its limit — to carry the pregnancy and deliver a child. A lot of that stress is on the heart and lungs, and the heart and lung function is really close to maxed out in many who are pregnant, particularly the heart function.” “If you take those stressed hearts and lungs and add all the additional stress that a respiratory pneumonia or viral infection like COVID puts on

the lungs, you can see how much of a stress it puts on them and inhibits the ability (of the lungs) to do their job.” Expectant mothers who get the vaccine not only protect themselves, but also offer protection to their unborn baby, according to Dr. Fisk. When a mother faces complications due to COVID-19 infection, it can affect oxygen reaching the placenta and cause severe brain damage to the fetus or death, Dr. Fisk said. Studies also suggest that the COVID-19 vaccine produces antibodies that can be passed along to the fetus, according to the CDC. Antibodies have been found in umbilical cord blood, meaning that vaccination during pregnancy could protect the baby from contracting the disease. More data on this topic is still forthcoming, according to the CDC. Additionally, early findings show that antibodies can be passed through breast milk, showing a “potential protective effect” against infant infection, according to one study published in the JAMA Network suggests. For expectant mothers who are hesitant about getting the vaccine, Dr. Fisk recommends checking out the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists’ resources on COVID-19, and also consulting their local medical provider. In addition, he asks mothers to consider the risk not getting the vaccine poses to both their health and their baby’s health. “I would suggest that the mothers consider strongly that the risk of COVID infection in someone who is unvaccinated is a very significant health risk to them and their baby,” Dr. Fisk said. “They also should be aware that the vaccine offers dramatic protection against COVID progressing to the serious state that we now know it is much more likely to progress to when someone is pregnant,” he added. Dr. Fisk also addressed concerns about the risk of blood clotting among pregnant women who receive the vaccine. He said that pregnancy itself comes with an increased risk for blood clots, and that the added risk of getting a blood clot from the vaccine is “extremely small.” In fact, pregnant women are at a much greater risk of

The U.S. launched an apparent drone strike Friday against ISIS-K in retaliation for the terrorist organization’s suicide attack that killed 13 American service members Thursday outside the Kabul airport. “U.S. military forces conducted an over-the-horizon counterterrorism operation today against an ISIS-K planner,” Navy Capt. Bill Urban, a Central Command spokesman, said in a statement. “The unmanned air strike occurred in the Nangarhar province of Afghanistan. Initial indications are that we killed the target. We know of no civilian casualties.” Earlier Friday, the U.S. Embassy in Kabul cited security threats and advised Americans not to travel to the airport or congregate outside the airport’s gates. And during a 12-hour period Friday, the U.S. evacuated at least 4,200 people from Afghanistan as Tuesday’s withdrawal deadline came closer. U.S. Army Major Gen. William “Hank” Taylor said Friday that about 5,400 people are at the capital city’s airport and awaiting flights out of Afghanistan. “ISIS will not deter us from accomplishing this mission,” Gen. Taylor said during a briefing. On Friday, the White House issued a statement saying the U.S. has helped to evacuate approximately 109,200 people from the nation since Aug. 14, the day before the Taliban took over Kabul. Meanwhile, several hundred Americans remain uncertain about whether to leave Afghanistan, the State Department reported Friday. Spokesman Ned Price told reporters that the State Department remains in communication with those Americans. He said they gave various reasons for not having made a decision, but noted the number who may have family in Afghanistan is “relatively small.” email: dmason@newspress.com

La Cumbre Water Company calls for 20% voluntary reduction in water usage By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Current data suggests that the benefits of receiving the COVID-19 vaccine while pregnant outweigh the potential risks.

obtaining a blood clot if they become ill with COVID-19, according to Dr. Fisk. “If women are concerned about getting a blood clot while pregnant from a COVID vaccine, they need to be concerned about it when they actually get COVID because the risk is dramatically higher,” he said.

Expectant mothers seeking more information about the COVID19 vaccine can contact the CDC’s MotherToBaby line at 1-866-6266847. Experts are available to answer questions in English and Spanish on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

With Santa Barbara County remaining in a state of extreme drought, the La Cumbre Water Company Board of Directors set a new goal this week to reduce voluntary water consumption by 20%. The new measure comes as 88.4% of the state is currently facing extreme drought conditions, according to the latest data from the U.S. Drought Monitor. The intensifying conditions led Gov. Gavin Newsom to announce a drought emergency for 50 out of 58 counties last month, asking all residents to voluntarily cut water usage by 15% to preserve resources. In the time since the governor’s declaration, La Cumbre Water District has seen a “slight conservation effort” among its customer base, but said greater efforts are needed to stretch water resources, General Manager Mike Alvarado told the News-Press. At this time, the company has adequate water supply to meet customer demand, but officials remain concerned about future supply. “The importance (of water conservation) right now would be that we’d be able to stretch out resources and have water available for future use,” he said. At this time, the state has reduced its water allocation, providing La Crumbre Water Company with just 5% of its normal allocation, Mr. Alvarado said. He added that this significant drop further emphasizes the importance of conservation at this time. To participate in water conservation efforts, La Cumbre Water Company officials are recommending that its customers reduce irrigation and stop watering gardens at the hottest time of the day. Mr. Alvarado said irrigation is the number one water use among customers, and the company is currently offering water audits to help customers find where they can cut consumption. “Water conservation needs to be encouraged,” Mr. Please see WATER on A3

PVHS discovers social media threat is a hoax SANTA MARIA — The Pioneer Valley High School administration concluded that rumors of a social media threat involving a gun in a backpack was a hoax on Wednesday. On Wednesday, PVHS administration became aware of a social media threat involving a video of a gun in a backpack. The administration notified the Santa Maria Police Department late Wednesday. SMPD deputies were able to connect the social media account to the social media platform of a PVHS student. Police went to the student’s home and recovered a fake gun and concluded the incident was a hoax. This is the second social media threat that police have determined was a hoax over the course of the last two weeks. The student will face disciplinary action and parents have been notified. “Our district will not stand for this type of irresponsible behavior,’’ said Kenny Klein, Santa Maria Joint Union High

LOMPOC — Sheriff’s deputies arrested a Lompoc man on Friday after he allegedly threatened a victim with a handgun on Thursday. Sheriff’s deputies responded to the 600-block of Moonglow Road on Thursday after hearing reports of a gun being brandished. Upon arrival, deputies discovered that Daniel Donnelly, 50, had driven to the residence and confronted a victim with a handgun. He then fled the scene in his car, nearly hitting the victim and sideswiping a parked car, according to Raquel Zick, the Sheriff’s Office public information officer. Mr. Donnelly allegedly returned to his residence in the 600block of Carina Drive after the confrontation, and deputies set up a perimeter with the assistance of the Sheriff’s K9 unit and the Special Enforcement Team.

LOS ANGELES — The arraignment for Michael Taylor Coleman, the Santa Barbara man accused of murdering his two children in Mexico, has been postponed. The arraignment was originally set to take place in Los Angeles on Tuesday, but the Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office announced it was postponed on Friday. Another date for the arraignment has not been set. Mr. Coleman is currently being held in FBI custody in Los Angeles. Motivated by QAnon conspiracy theories, Mr. Coleman allegedly told FBI officials that he took his two children, Kaleo, 3, and Roxy, 1, to Rosarito, Mexico, and killed them with a fishing gun.

Deputies attempted to contact Mr. Donnelly several times before obtaining a search and arrest warrant for the suspect and his residence. At approximately 11:54 p.m., deputies entered Mr. Donnelly’s home, but did not find him inside. During the search, they discovered an unserialized “ghost gun” that is suspected to be the weapon he pointed at his neighbor. On Friday, Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to Mr. Donnelly’s home after neighbors reported seeing him in the area. Deputies contacted Mr. Donnelly and took him into custody. He was booked into the Main Jail for assault with a deadly weapon (felony), assault with a firearm on a person (felony) and threatening a crime with intent to terrorize (felony), according to the Sheriff’s Office. He is being held on $250,000 bail.

Two Masai giraffes expect babies at Santa Barbara Zoo By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Two endangered Masai giraffes, Adia and Audrey, are pregnant at the Santa Barbara Zoo. Adia is due in January 2022, and Audrey is due in July 2022, the zoo announced Friday. This will be Adia’s second calf. Her first calf, Twiga, was born in March 2020. This will be the seventh calf for Audrey. Her most recent calf, Amirah, was born in March 2018 and is now at the Sacramento Zoo. The gestation period for a giraffe is about 15 months.

With the addition of two new calves, 10 Masai giraffes will have been born at the zoo since 2013, nine of which were sired by the Zoo’s adult male giraffe, Michael. “We’re excited to welcome another Masai giraffe to our herd and continue to contribute to the population of this endangered species,” Dr. Julie Barnes, the zoo’s vice president of animal care and health, said in a statement. “This is a great example of the critical work done at the Santa Barbara Zoo with our incredible animal care team.” According to a news release, Michael is the most “genetically

In 2019, the Westmont Men’s soccer team turned in a historically successful regular season. Behind GSAC Player of the Year Tim Heiduk and future professional keeper Lalo Delgado, the club lost just two games to NAIA opponents all season and won the GSAC regular season title for the second time in three years. Following the end of the season, the club saw two of their best players in the program’s history graduate and leave gaping holes in the core of the program. Going into the 2020 season, Westmont head coach Dave Wolf and assistant coach Johnny Whallon sat down with the club’s new captains, Nick Ruiz and Zach Godeck, to explain the program’s intentions for the season. The coaches told the men plain and simple “this is going to be a rebuilding year.” They would soon find out that the club would not give in so easily. Led by Ruiz and Godeck, a Warrior defense with no Heiduk or Delgado allowed just two goals to GSAC opponents all season. The club rode a magical defensive surge to their second consecutive GSAC Championship, culminating on a 90th minute goal during the GSAC Championship game that gave the squad a 2-1 victory. A rebuilding year led to a 7-2-1 record, a conference title, and the honor of hosting an NAIA Opening Round tournament. And now it’s the fall of 2021. Ruiz has graduated. So has AllGSAC midfielder Jona Romero, who led the 2020 club in assists, and forward Tyler Young, who led the club in goals over the past two seasons. Following their departure, Coach Wolf has brought in 11 freshmen. So the question has been asked again, “Is this year the supposed rebuild?” “I think conventional wisdom would say that most successful college soccer teams are heavy in upper classmen talent,” said Westmont head coach Dave Wolf, who is entering his 31st season at the helm. “However, conventional wisdom was proven wrong last season, and I’ll be the first one to say I didn’t see it coming. “I’m going to give this group the proper opportunity to do whatever it is they’re going to do. I think my approach will certainly be different this season after what ended up happening last year.” If the club hopes to compete for a third consecutive GSAC championship, the club’s defense will need to remain a strength. Luckily for Wolf, trusted veterans make up the core of the club’s backfield. Following Delgado’s departure, the goalkeeper position was once thought to be an area of uncertainty for the club going into 2020. Instead, Swedish transfer Mans Ingvarson arrived on campus, won the starting job and was recognized with an NAIA All-American honorable mention after posting a GSAC-best 0.50 GAA. “I think of all the surprises last year, Mans was the biggest one,” noted Wolf. “After moving on from a keeper who was arguably the finest in the history of the program, bringing in an unknown player was going to be difficult. However, very quickly there was chemistry developed with Mans and he proved himself to be a stellar goalkeeper. “The other surprise for us was that Abraham Arteaga turned out to be a whole lot better than we thought. Abraham came in as a distant third on the depth chart and very quickly moved into the number two spot. He’s a name a lot of people might not know, but we feel fortunate having multiple goalkeepers that make us feel confident.” The men in front of the keepers have been perhaps the club’s biggest strength in each of the past two championship seasons. Fortunately for the club, center back Zach Godeck is returning for a fifth season. “Zach is a great foundation to build our defense upon,” said Wolf. “If you look at the defensive success we’ve had with our center backs the past two years:

it was Tim and Zach, then it was Nick and Zach, and the common denominator there is Zach.” Next in line to be Godeck’s cocaptain of the backfield is junior left-footer Michael Palmer, who has started nearly every game of his first two seasons as the club’s left back. “We’re planning on giving Michael Palmer the opportunity to be that next partner,” assured Wolf. “Of course there is some risk moving a guy who has played in one spot practically every game he’s worn a Westmont uniform, but he is an extremely talented player. We’re hoping his talent on the field and his leadership skills help lock down our defense. “On the outside, junior Mason Ginni got a hold of that right back position last season and looked really good. We also have a talented player in junior Justin Nakaoka who will play back there a lot. Defensively our biggest question is whether sophomore Landon Amaral is ready to take over that left back position. “He got more and more time last year and by the end we were pretty sure he’d be the answer there at the start of this season. Landon brings an ability to serve a ball and we expect him to be heavily involved in our attack from back there.” In the midfield, the club hopes to see production from a few key members of the returning squad. “We have a bunch of guys who are hybrids in the midfield,” pointed out Wolf. “Aldo Becerril, a sophomore, is a guy we see as the most natural fit there. Aldo got to play a lot of minutes last year and produced consistently as a starter. We expect him to take another step forward. “Another returning player who played key minutes last year is senior Memo Mendoza. I think Memo really came into himself last season and something that didn’t go unnoticed is how often we won games with him in that position. “And then there’s sophomore Daniel Tuscano, who missed a good part of last season rehabilitating but then started our final postseason game. We see him as an all-action box-to-box type of player who could play the six for us. I think the six has been a defensive-minded position for us recently with Nick Ruiz sitting back and holding our defensive line. While that benefited us in the past, I do see that role becoming a bit more offensive.” Leading the way for the club’s attack will be Daniel’s older brother, senior striker Samuel Tuscano. The older Tuscano was

named to the All-GSAC team last season after scoring five goals in 10 matches. “Sam has demonstrated the ability to be a dangerous attacker for years now,” said Wolf. “It would be helpful if we weren’t so reliant on him during the start of the season like we were last year. “My hope is that we have multiple threats and that other teams have to be glued to numerous players. If we can develop a dangerous attacker or two that can take some double teams off of Sam, it will enable us to get on the scoreboard more often.” Freshman Connor Lynch figures to join the Warrior forwards up front early and often. “Connor Lynch is already scoring goals in training for us,” said Wolf. “And you have to score in training before you can score in the game. He looks college ready in his frame and in his talent level.” When asked what players may be flying under the radar that are poised to make an impact, Wolf said, “Junior Micah Nelson has a tremendous amount of upside. When you look back at this season, do not be surprised when you realize he had himself a great year. “Senior Wyatt Babineau is someone we’re going to put in a few different roles as well, and he’s going to have numerous opportunities to contribute. And then Braeden Pryor is someone who is really gifted. We need him to make the jump from being potential to being a producer.” In order for the club to compete at the top of the conference, numerous players will have to play up to their highest potential, and perhaps more than usual as pointed out by Coach Wolf. “We recognize that Westmont is historically a big game for everybody that plays us. The target that is historically on us grew last year because we won two trophies. Our guys understand all that comes with the shirt they represent.” Wolf smiled when asked about his expectations and instead shifted the focus to his hopes, given how his expectations haven’t always been accurate. “The hope, and our goal, is to arrive as the best version of us,” offered Wolf. “I don’t want to put any expectations on this group because we know from experience, things are not always what they seem.” Jacob Norling is a Westmont College sports information assistant.

MARCY, Marie Pariseau

October 19,1956 – August 16, 2021 Marie was born to James and Helena Pariseau of Lynn, MA. Residing in California since 1959, Marie lived with her three brothers and older sister in Santa Barbara, eventually settling in Santa Maria. Marie attended San Roque elementary school, graduated from Bishop High School and earned a degree in photography at Santa Barbara City College working for several years at Anderson Camera. Her devotion to our Savior Jesus Christ and Mary His mother was well known among her friends and family. She served her community at her local Parish churches most of her adult life. She was an accomplished singer, songwriter, and musician and was also a member of Catholic Daughters of America. Marie is survived by her sons, Nolan and Devon, daughter-in-law Franchesca, grandsons, Ethan and Lucas, three brothers - Mike, Chris, and Steve Pariseau, and sister Kathy Pariseau Pierson.

STOTSER, Elisa 11/25/36 – 8/12/21

Elisa Stotser, 84 of Santa Barbara, passed away peacefully in her home with family by her side on August 12, 2021. Elisa was born on November 25, 1936 to Felix and Conception Guitron. She was raised, along with her 5 siblings, on their family farm in the Coachella Valley. Elisa came to Santa Barbara after graduating from high school to attend Knapp School of Nursing. Upon graduation, she began her 45-year career as a nurse at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. She enjoyed sharing with others her vast experiences from her many years spent at Cottage Hospital. Elisa met her husband John on a blind date in 1964. They fell in love and were married shortly thereafter. Prior to John’s passing in 2012, they had been married for 48 years - an accomplishment they were both very proud of. They raised two children and were the proud grandparents to five grandchildren. Elisa’s greatest joy in life came from the immense love her grandchildren brought her. Elisa enjoyed entertaining. This was especially evident in her passion for cooking. She firmly believed there was no such thing as making too much food. This rang true, whether it was a party, a holiday gathering or simply her Sunday family dinners. It has been said by many that the aromas that emanated from her kitchen were intoxicating and that the meals themselves were some of the best they ever had. Elisa will be remembered for many things: Her “shop till you drop” mantra, perfectly exemplified by her annual after-Thanksgiving shopping trips with her best friend Anita; Her planning and organizational skills, always executing everything to a tee; her philanthropic nature of giving back to those in need; her fanatical love of the Christmas season, which she began planning and shopping for every July, adorning her gifts with homemade bows and the many memories that will be treasured of times spent around the fireplace lined with Christmas stockings for everyone – including the pets. She taught the importance of being honest, fair, kind, disciplined, good mannered and that quality was always more important than quantity. Above all, Elisa will be remembered for her extreme compassion, devotion to family and the love she shared with others. Elisa is survived by her daughter Annamarie Sharpe (Peter), her son J.T. Stotser (Aimee), her five grandchildren Colin, Taylor, Cassidy, Jackson and Ryan, her brother Al Guitron (Sue), many nieces and nephews along with her faithful companion of the past five years – her cat Ginger. Her family wishes to acknowledge the care she received from both Assisted and Assisted Hospice as her illness progressed. Donations in her honor can be made to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital or the American Cancer Society.

WOOSLEY, Karen (King)

Born Karen King, Karen was especially proud of the fact that she was a seventh generation Santa Barbaran. Karen attended twelve years of Catholic school, graduating from Bishop High with – as she liked to brag – a perfect attendance record for all twelve years. Karen developed lifelong friendships with most of her classmates, and especially with best friends, Karen, Swaneagle and Mary. After graduating, Karen married her first husband, Andy Kawiecki, with whom she attended school (separating the boys from the girls did not seem as effective as the church may have desired) and promptly had a son, Drew. Karen began her professional career as a legal secretary for a local attorney named John Haas. On Karen’s first day of work, she hung a photograph of John F. Kennedy on the wall behind her desk. Mr. Haas quickly had her remove it. It was the first time Karen realized that not everyone was a Democrat! Karen met her husband, Eric Woosley, about 37 years ago while when they worked together in the same firm. They were married for 35 years. It was Karen’s idea for her husband to go to law school and become an attorney. Karen loved the law, and even worked as a police matron for the Santa Barbara Police Department for a period of time. Karen loved courtroom action and attended all of her husband’s trials. She would use each as an opportunity to purchase an entirely new wardrobe of what she called “court clothes,” thus ensuring her husband was properly motivated to win his cases. Karen became friends with many of the courthouse staff and was particularly fond of Judge Anderle and his secretary Marilyn. Karen loved Fiesta and leaves behind countless fiesta dresses that she loved to wear when attending events. Strikingly beautiful, Karen would love to have been chosen as Saint Barbara, but often joked that she would never qualify for the “Saint” prerequisite Karen will be missed by her family, husband Eric, son Drew Kawiecki (Andrea), granddaughter (and future attorney) Alexia, her sister Elaine Bateman (Will) and her brother Patrick King (Jennifer). Having come from a good Catholic family, Karen had 32 cousins (whom I will not list) and remained very close with her last remaining Uncle and Aunt, Phil and Roseann King. Anyone wishing to pay their respects may do so at the Old Mission where Karen’s ashes will be placed. It seemed particularly apropos given her proud heritage.

The Little House just got bigger

Quirky structure inspires Nova Scotia designer By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

T

he large package arrived in early January for Neil and Sue Ablitt. The sender was a woman in a small town in Nova Scotia. “We didn’t know anyone in Nova Scotia, and we were even more surprised to find inside a model of our Little House that was made of felted Hudson Bay blankets, a work of art, by an unknown person from Canada,” said Mr. Ablitt. The Little House, often called the Ablitt Tower, is the quirky structure that he and his wife built in 2006 on the tiny lot behind their drycleaning business on West Gutierrez Street. Designed by architect Jeff Shelton, the 53-foottall, four-story home sits on a 20-by20 foot lot, which is smaller than a two-car garage. The Santa Barbara home has captured national attention. It’s been written about in dozens of newspapers and magazines and appeared on the HGTV network and on KCET-TV’s “California Gold” with the late Huell Howser. The Ablitts, who lived in the house for almost six years, now occupy a condo nearby. “The model in the box is about 2 feet square and made of felting, which is produced by matting, condensing and pressing fibers together,” Mr. Ablitt told the NewsPress. “We also learned that its hollow three-dimensional shape was designed to be a cover for a coffee maker.” When they recovered from their shock — and delight — at receiving the unusual gift, the Ablitts decided they wanted to thank the

designer in a unique way. “But first we had to find the mystery lady from Canada. We contacted our friends Donald and Nancy Thom who live in Quebec and found out she was a relative of theirs,” said Mr. Ablitt. “Her name is Peggy Jenkinson, and she had never been to Santa Barbara or seen our house. It seems that the Thoms had shown her a photo of the Little Tower, and she was so intrigued by the design that she wanted to recreate it in felting. “It turns out she is a dedicated environmentalist who does not own a computer and had to study the tower on a computer at the local library.” Jim and Monika (who didn’t want their last name in the News-Press) are currently renting the Ablitt Tower. It was Monika who came up with the very special way to thank Ms. Jenkinson by photographing the model at various landmarks around Santa Barbara and with photos of the people who were involved with the construction of the building. “I took all the pictures with my iPhone camera. It took six months to coordinate everything. It was time consuming and a tremendous amount of work, but it was a lot of fun, too,” Mr. Ablitt said. The result is a 12-page hardcover book that includes pictures of the Ablitts; their daughter Sasha; granddaughter Hudson; architect Jeff Shelton; his brother David Shelton, who did the iron work; plumbers Victor Beltran, Jesus Beltran and Ignacio Rios; Jim and Monika; David Mosley, woodworker; Dan Upton, contractor; Juan Rios, tile setter; Andres Johnson, sculptor; Bob Please see ABLITT on B2

$206,625 raised for diabetes institute 2021 LOYALTY PROGRAM

Advertisers, ask about this cost saving program. Call today! 564-5230

The recent 14th annual Taste of the Vine raised $206,625 for the Sansum Diabetes Research Institute. Because of the pandemic, the Santa Barbara institute organized a hybrid event that gave sponsors options of either virtual or small in-person gatherings, catered meals and fresh produce boxes. Ticket purchasers had wine delivered to their door, and an online auction ran on Aug. 21-23. The auction featured everything from a private winemaker dinner to group tours of various local vineyards, a yacht cruise, a condo stay at Mammoth, and lots of popular wine. The diabetes institute credited the event’s success to the 133 Taste of the Vine sponsors, donors, wine ticket purchasers, inkind donors and dozens of bidders in the online auction. “I am deeply grateful for the generosity from our community in support of the work done at Sansum Diabetes Research Institute through the Taste of the Vine event this year,” said Joan Arnold, institute board member and a Taste of the Vine Committee member, in a news release. “It

ARIES — A short trip might be necessary today, Aries. This could be disheartening, as it takes you away from your current love interest, but perhaps it’s just as well. A phone call on this emotionally charged day might advance your relationship more than a forced evening together. Acknowledge that you’re looking forward to seeing your friend again and then get on with the job! TAURUS — The strange behavior of a romantic interest may have you confused, Taurus. Is your partner avoiding you? Do phone calls go unanswered? Forget it. Sometimes people see too much intimacy as a threat to their independence and choose to ignore it. The best way to deal with this is to not press any sensitive issues. Just go out for dinner and act like a friend. Keep romance out of the equation for now! GEMINI — Have you invited some friends over for a celebration tonight, Gemini? If so, your guests are going to keep you hopping! That’s all right. The day is filled with love and joy. Entertaining them is your way of expressing your appreciation. If you’re romantically involved, you and your partner can celebrate privately after all your visitors are gone. Relax, let go, and enjoy your party! CANCER — Other responsibilities might keep you away from your loved one today, Cancer. If you have plans for tonight - or even if you don’t - you might find this rather depressing. Where is the one you love? Is your partner out carousing and having a good old time while you’re working like crazy? Don’t torture yourself with thoughts like this. LEO — The absence of direct expressions of love might make your life seem rather empty today, Leo. If you’re single, there may be nobody around to have fun with. If you’re involved, chances are your current love interest is unable to get together. Don’t waste time fretting over this. Make some other plans. VIRGO — You may decide to duck out of extra responsibilities today, Virgo, perhaps to have a private celebration at home with your love partner! The fun might be delayed if your beloved is Monday, November 2015 unexpectedly called16, away for a while. Just remember that quality

is better than quantity! LIBRA — You may feel neglected and unloved today, Libra. If you’re single, you may feel worse. Cheer up. If you’re running around with such a depressed and dramatic expression on your face, nobody will feel like asking you out. Try to make yourself happy by doing things you like to do. If you smile, you’ll be a magnet for someone who has love to give. SCORPIO — Are you worried that your romantic partner doesn’t love you as much as you love him or her, Scorpio? Love has many facets. Not everybody can verbally express love or feel comfortable with public displays of affection. If someone loves you, there are ways you can tell. It might be the way they look at you, how they touch you, or little favors. If you’re uncertain, why not ask? SAGITTARIUS — If you’re single, Sagittarius, you might feel a little down today. All your friends who are in relationships may have plans while you go home alone. Relax. Many people in relationships aren’t necessarily happy. They have their own problems and sometimes feel lonely and frustrated. There are certain advantages to being single. Make the best of it today and enjoy yourself! CAPRICORN — Today you may substitute chocolate for a lack of love because you feel tempted to treat yourself to something good. This is fine, but confine yourself to a small amount. Overindulgence in sweets could have you regretting it when you get a stomachache, not to mention step on the scale! Remember, moderation is the key. AQUARIUS — If you’re not married or engaged, Aquarius, you may feel that your current love interest is avoiding you. However, this is just your imagination. Relationships always go through ups and downs, so don’t worry. If you have serious doubts whether there’s something wrong, ask your partner. PISCES — You may be a bit depressed today if you and your partner are going through a difficult time. Maybe there’s something unspoken that brings tension and awkwardness into your life together. Try to find the root of the problem. It will only get worse if you don’t talk about it. Don’t get too emotional when you bring it up. Just ask if your partner is bothered by something.

HOROSCOPE

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.
