State mandates vaccines for students Requirement will go into effect upon FDA approval By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a vaccine mandate for schoolchildren on Friday that will require students to be vaccinated against COVID-19 once the shots are fully approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The order will add the COVID-19 vaccine to a list of 10 required vaccines that students must receive to attend in-person learning, which includes vaccines like measles, mumps and rubella.

Gov. Newsom said he sees the rollout occurring in two parts — first for children in grades 7 through 12, and second for students in kindergarten through 6th grade upon FDA approval. The requirement will go into effect in the semester following full Food and Drug Administration approval for vaccine use among kids ages 12 and older. Currently, the Pfizer vaccine is under an Emergency Use Authorization for children ages 12 to 15 and has received full FDA approval for people ages 16 and older.

Once the order goes into effect, students will not be allowed to attend inperson classes without being vaccinated. Traditional medical and religious exemptions will be available for students. The order made California the first state to mandate such a requirement for students and marks the governor’s latest effort to stamp out COVID-19 in schools. “We are mindful that we still have work to do,” Gov. Newsom said during a press conference Friday. “We want to end this pandemic, we are all exhausted by it, and Please see VACCINES on A3

Issues varying from lower State Street to affordable housing were addressed this week by Santa Barbara mayoral candidates. The candidates voiced continued support for the downtown pedestrian promenade on State Street, but differed on some details during a virtual League of Women Voters forum. “I envisioned State Street to be bustling with commerce, good-paying jobs, good revenue sources for the city, entertainment, concerts when the pandemic allows,” Mayor Cathy Murillo said, answering a question from moderator Claire VanBlaricum during Thursday evening’s forum. “I do envision State Street remaining car free,” Ms. Murillo said, noting she could imagine the Santa Barbara Public Library presenting storytimes. If elected, Randy Rowse said he would like to work with merchants and the Santa Barbara chapter of the American Institute of Architects to create a consistent design template for parklets, which could be provided over the counter at a nominal fee. Mr. Rowse also said flower pots, which are currently being used to block motorized traffic, need to be replaced by barriers that could be easily retracted to allow for morning deliveries, parades and resolutions for safety problems. “I would have enough space for an electric shuttle,” he said. “That way, we could remain closed as a large promenade, but have people walking on the sidewalks and bikes on the street where they belong,” Mr. Rowse said. He noted that under that scenario, there would be no noise and no pollution. Solutions for State Street are needed immediately, candidate Deborah Schwartz stressed. She said the city needs to work on matters such as revitalizing vacant business spaces. “There’s been a lot of talk but not enough action in streamlining and working with business owners,” she said. Candidate Mark Whitehurst suggested adding substations on State Street, where case workers, ambassadors and police first responders would be visible.

He said that would be a step toward vibrancy and could be implemented on other streets. He also noted State Street and side streets need to become more pristine. “A thousand tree wells are empty and don’t have landscaping or gravel or anything.” Candidate Matt Kilrain suggested horse and buggies be brought back to State Street. “Let’s bring back some traditions.” Citing his concerns about health issues, Mr. Kilrain noted he would oppose the installation of LED lights and 5G on State Street. On the issue of affordable housing, candidates expressed little enthusiasm for Senate Bills 9 and 10, both of which Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed into law. “Senate Bills 9 and 10 are going to affect lower and middle class neighborhoods and would gentrify them,” Mr. Rowse cautioned. “I would move to resist those at every turn.” Mr. Rowse pointed to the Housing Authority of Santa Barbara and praised its “amazing work.” But he said reforms are needed in the city’s planning and building processes. “We tap the brakes and say, ‘Here’s the new restrictions,” Mr. Rowse said. “Pretty soon, the private sector moves away from creating housing.” Mr. Rowse said the city should help facilitate developments at various sites and “find out what they need us to do: Either get out of the way or help.” Ms. Schwartz said the city hasn’t encouraged or assisted in producing new housing for more than 40 years. She explained the city needs to do more to encourage investors and build partnerships. “Those who have the financial means to acquire properties could partner with the housing authority, which is able to secure government subsidies” to enable affordable rents, she said. “As a renter myself, I know what it’s like to pay more than the average percentage of income for housing in our beautiful city,” Ms. Schwartz said. Mr. Kilrain noted Santa Barbara residents have found creative places to live, such as on Please see CANDIDATES on A4

SPORTS ROUNDUP

Khatamova to represent UCSB at ITA championships Shakhnoza Khatamova will represent UCSB at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s AllAmerican Championships. She will play at the LTP Tennis Club in Mount Pleasant, S.C., where the qualifying rounds will take place Monday and Tuesday. The main draw is set for Wednesday through Friday. Last week, UCSB’s women’s tennis team went 23-12 at the California Fall Invitational, according to a news release. Freshman Amelia Honor won the singles consolation bracket in her collegiate debut. She defeated Angelina Ruja from Pacific 3-6, 7-6, 10-4. In doubles, Khatamova and Honer, Camille Kiss and Maria Gonzalez Ballbe, and Kira Rueter and Filippa Bruu-Syversen advanced to the final rounds of their draws.

USCB BEATS UC DAVIS Leila Emmerson and team work made the difference for the UCSB women’s soccer team Thursday. Emmerson scored a goal in the 97th minute to give the Gauchos a 1-0 victory over UC Davis at the Aggies’ soccer field. She made the goal after bringing down a Shaye Douglas pass from the right wing, according to a news release. The Gauchos’ defense kept the Aggies from making a goal in the game’s 31st minute. On Sunday, the Gauchos head to Ohau to

take on the Hawai’i Rainbow Wahine. The game will start at 8 p.m. Pacific time, with live stats at ucsbgauchos.com.

CARPINTERIA GIRLS TENNIS TAKES DOWN MALIBU The Carpinteria girls tennis team defeated Citrus Coast League favorite Malibu Thursday, winning in total games 81-76 after the sets were tied 9-9. “We played so well, and I am so proud of our girls,” Coach Charles Bryants told the News-Press in an email. “We showed a lot of composure and maturity out on the courts today. We knew games would make a difference, and our girls did a great job of winning games when they were down and holding them off when we were up. “It was our first match in a long, long time where it was coming down to the wire,” Bryants said. “Our girls knew what was at stake and they did not bend. We were down 4-2 after the first round but made headway in the second round as we went 5-1. That round really turned the tide as we held on in the end. “This match easily could have gone either way but for our girls to stay as focused and determined as they did really shows what they are made of,” Bryants said. “Most of our success came in doubles, and we were led by Ariana Lounsbury/Natalie Martinez as they had one of their best outings of the year winning all three of their sets,” the

coach said. “They were fantastic and beat a very strong Sharks duo at #1, 6-2. “Both Cassandra Maya Prado/Natalia Perez and Valerie Ojeda/Abbie Delwiche went 2-1 on the day. They each had a few tight sets but showed a lot of grit in finishing them out,” Bryants said. “In singles, Zahra Porinsh and Silke Leonard went 1-2 but added valuable games in their losses,” the coach said. “Same with Neida Garcia who really played well today but added clutch game wins along the way. “Each member of our team contributed in so many ways whether it was winning a set, closing out a set or battling to win games in a loss. They all played a part today.” As of Thursday, Carpinteria was 8-4 overall and 4-0 in the Citrus Coast League.

OCTOBER FUN

BISHOP GIRLS TENNIS FALLS TO PROVIDENCE The Bishop Diego tennis team lost 3-15 Thursday to Providence. Coach Natlee Hapman, however, said the team continues to celebrate its individual successes. “Our last two sets went to Providence in a tight tie breaker,” Hapman told the News-Press in an email. “The student athletes left it all on the court. I am so proud of their never-give-up drive.” email: dmason@newspress.com

Estimate: Students from 7th grade on up could face vaccine requirement by July VACCINES

Continued from Page A1 the purpose of this (requirement) is to continue to lead in that space.” The vaccine mandate will also apply to teachers and school staff when it is issued for 7th through 12th graders, Gov. Newsom said Friday. Currently, the state

requires that teachers and staff be vaccinated or undergo weekly testing, but this new mandate would take away the option for testing. The governor added on Friday that he has “no hesitancy” in encouraging school districts to move forward with a vaccine requirement for teachers and staff “more expeditiously” if they choose. According to FDA approval

timelines, the governor estimated Friday that students in grades 7 through 12 could be required to be fully vaccinated by July 1, 2022. Students who are not fully vaccinated will be required to enroll in independent study, which is the only alternative to in-person instruction that will be offered. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

Dana, right, and Andrea Newquist made a grand entrance in their 1932 Buick Model 90 during the Montecito Motor Classic kickoff event on Thursday.

Mr. Stehrenberger said. He said he’s also worked on a number of cars that went to production but enjoys using his background in fashion design to create unique concept car designs. A portion of the proceeds from this year’s event will benefit the Santa Barbara Police Activities League, a communitybased organization that builds connections between cops and kids through educational, athletic and leadership programs. At a kickoff event on Thursday, Judith Lugo, the program

director for SBPAL, expressed gratitude to the Montecito Motor Classic and the event’s leading sponsor, Montecito Bank & Trust, for its ongoing support. “As a nonprofit in Santa Barbara, it is extremely difficult to be able to have an organization that is free to our teens,” Ms. Lugo said. She added that proceeds from events like the Motor Classic help to keep their program alive and free of charge for local kids. “We’re happy to be a part of this,

we’re happy that you’re helping us with our mission of bridging the gap between cops, kids and community,” she said. “Thank you so much for supporting our mission and allowing us to do this at no cost for our youth.” For additional details on this year’s Montecito Motor Classic, visit montecitomotorclassic.com. Attendees to this year’s show are invited to participate in a hat competition sponsored by Silverhorn Jewelry. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

He noted 19 or so agencies address housing and offer workers protection. “As we grow with the building of more homes, it will be important to protect those individuals who cannot afford the market rate.” Ms. Murillo said housing is needed downtown. “Our city is working on a pathway toward that with a set of policies.” She said the solution will take creativity and noted as an example that microunits could work for renters who don’t have

children. “As for Senate Bills 9 and 10, I think our city attorney would be able to limit some of the S.B. 9 impact in the high-fire zones and near historic resources,” she said. “I do understand why these bills are coming forward and why the governor is signing them.” She noted the City Council this week passed an ordinance to help mobile home park residents. “Housing is a human right, and that has always been a motto of my public service,” the mayor said.

Candidate James Joyce III was out of town and couldn’t participate in the forum. But he said in a statement, which the moderator read, that his goals include creating solutions for housing and the economy, as well as building a better future for the city’s youth and a more diverse and inclusive community. “We need a leader who can hit the ground running on day one and find progressive solutions.” email: dmason@newspress.com

Mr. Stehrenberger is an internationally-acclaimed automotive designer who has consulted with Rolls Royce, Ford, Toyota, BMW, Renault, Subaru, Saab and Jeep. At his booth, Mr. Stehrenberger will showcase a 1/5 scale model of an MSD Bugatti T-50 Coupe Concept, which he helped design in the 1980s, as well as a variety of his concept designs and drawings. Mr. Stehrenberger told the News-Press on Thursday that being this year’s honoree feels “like a million dollars,” especially because this year’s theme centers on his specialty — “The Concept Car.” Concept cars allow designers to let their imagination take control because they are often just “one-offs” and not something that can be bought at a traditional dealer, Mr. Stehrenberger said. “I’ve produced small and 1 to 1 scale (concept cars), and I like it because we really can go wild,”

A huge white elephant, who’s a big fan of cultural sites, has been traveling around to Santa Barbara locations such as The Granada during the “Light Elephant Santa Barbara 2020-2021” project.

sk most people about the meaning of the well-known phrase, “Elephant in the room,” and most will respond, “An obvious problem is being ignored.” When a huge white elephant mysteriously appeared around Santa Barbara this past month in 15 different locations, most curious onlookers had another question: “What’s the story of the elephant?” According to Iman Djouni and Jonathan Taube, creators of the project, “Light Elephant Santa Barbara 2020-2021,” the artwork “deploys an enigma appearing in the backgrounds of familiar places and historic passages, moving through the downtown like a flaneur in public space. Its presence provokes three simple questions: “What has happened here?” “What is happening here?” and “What will happen here?” The Light Elephant’s journey around town will culminate this weekend at the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara in Paseo Nuevo with a family friendly workshop from 1 to 4 p.m. today and a poster making workshop there from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Participants will be provided materials to make posters to hang in the gallery. Ms. Djouni, an assistant teaching professor at UCSB’s College of Creative Studies and Department of Art, and her partner, Mr. Taube, an architectural designer, introduced the elephant in 2017 as part of a community project in Baltimore. During this past summer, the couple directed a team of UCSB students to install the largescale public artwork in dozens of sites in town. Among them were multiple places on State Street, the Lobero and Granada theatres, Alameda Park, Santa Barbara Public Library, Chase Palm Park and Santa Barbara Historical Museum.

Made of white nylon fabric, the elephant is 16 feet tall, 12 feet wide and 20 feet long. “We had it digitally fabricated from a computer model of an elephant that we provided to the manufacturer,” Mr. Taube told the News-Press. “The manufacturer made it to our specs using software to make the pattern that was cut by a plotter and then sewn together.” The elephant was conceived to be a temporary public artwork that could be easily packed, transported and displayed in various locations. “We had permits for the installations to be in each location for about two to three hours. We did multiple locations per day and made periodic popups,” said Mr. Taube, adding that they have installed it “in many situations, from upside down in galleries to rooftops. It weighs about 50 pounds, packs in a bag/ sack and takes about 15 minutes to inflate. “For our installations, we power the inflatable sculpture with permission from neighbors/ location partners, or we use a marine deep cell battery.

The funding secured by Sen. Limón allowed not only for the purchase of the van but for the hiring of four staff members to run it for a pilot program of two years. It also paid for computer equipment, furniture, a solarpowered energy resource, downloadable materials, a circulating collection of books, DVDs and Books on CD, as well as programming supplies.

Mr. Taube earned his bachelors’ degree from the Maryland Institute College of Art and his master’s degree at Tulane School of Architecture. Their creative practice is at the intersections of expanded print media, urban theory and public processes. “The pandemic changed everything. However, it has revealed the dynamic aspects of public life and our public spaces in light of the situation. How we perform/behave in and how we use public spaces is not fixed, but ever evolving,” Mr. Taube told the News-Press. “Research and planning for this project in the summer of 2020 revealed how public life adapted and made new use of public spaces in response to COVID-19. “From yoga in Casa de la Guerra to a melange of architectural ‘parklets’ for outdoor dining on State Street, local businesses and cultural institutions impacted by the pandemic found relief from expanding novel pedestrian uses of State Street and iconic and historical sites in Santa Barbara.” email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

CODEWORD PUZZLE

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: MILDRED PEALE HAEUSSLER Case Number: 21PR00431 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Mildred Peale Haeussler, Mildred Haeussler, Mildred Peale A Petition for Probate has been filed by Robert Peale Mehl in the SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA. The Petition for Probate requests that Robert Peale Mehl be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The Petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: November 4, 2021 at Time: 9:00 AM, in Dept.: 5, located at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101; PO Box 21107, Santa Barbara, CA 93121-1107, Anacapa Division. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for petitioner: Stephen E. Penner Address: 1215 De La Vina Street, Suite K Santa Barbara, CA 93101 Phone: 805-965-0085 OCT 2, 9, 16, 2021--57588
