The Alisal Fire burned nearly 17,000 acres as of Friday evening and was 41% contained as of press time. Crews continued to battle the blaze that fire officials say is largely wind-driven. Los Padres National Forest officials reported Friday afternoon that the fire area “did not get good recovery” overnight and officials saw an increase in activity and smoke production during the day. The evacuation order for residences along Arroyo Quemada Lane and the evacuation warning for the area east of El Capitan Beach Park, west of Dos Pueblos Canyon Road and south of West
Camino Cielo were canceled Friday evening. The evacuation order remained in effect for Arroyo Hondo Canyon, Refugio Canyon, and the area between El Capitan Beach State Park and West Camino Cielo as of press time Friday. The evacuation warning was still in effect for the area west of Highway 101, which includes Gaviota Beach and Hollister Ranch. More than 1,700 personnel assigned to the fire worked to secure its eastern edge near the Sherpa Fire burn scar on Friday,
while also addressing the western portion of the fire near the Cañada San Onofre. Crews battled winds of up to 20 mph throughout the day Friday, and officials anticipate that warmer temperatures, decreased humidity and downsloping winds could impact fire behavior and activity over the next few days. Officials continued to attack the fire from the air on Friday, deploying 20 aircraft spraying flame retardant and water in conjunction with ground resources, according to Kristen Allison, a public Please see FIRE on A2
FDA advisers unanimously recommend J&J booster shot By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
A panel of vaccine advisers to the Food and Drug Administration voted unanimously Friday to recommend a booster shot of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine to everyone over the age of 18 who got the first shot at least two months ago. The recommendation, which will go before the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention prior to authorization, could pave the way for nearly 14 million Americans who received the J&J to get a booster shot. According to data from the CDC, about 15 million Americans have received the J&J to date. Of those, nearly 91% received the vaccine more than two months ago. The recommendation for the J&J booster came just one day after advisers recommended that the FDA authorize a reduced dose booster shot of the Moderna vaccine for people over the age
of 65 and younger adults with underlying health conditions or occupational risks six months after receiving the two-dose series. The recommendation for both shots will now be passed on for review by the FDA. Then the CDC’s vaccine advisors will be asked to review the data and recommendations before CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walenksy stamps final authorization. During Friday’s meeting, advisers considered study data submitted by Johnson & Johnson that showed a booster shot brings protection levels up to 94%, which is comparable to the efficacy shown in the Moderna and Pfizer when they were first given. In addition to the study data, Johnson & Johnson also presented a research letter that was published in the New England Journal of Medicine on Friday as part of its request for emergencyuse authorization of its booster dose. The letter detailed an in-depth

“Regardless of whether or not (there’s) been waning or this is the true effectiveness after a single dose, the effectiveness or protection of a single dose of the J&J vaccine is not equivalent to protection at this time with either two doses of an mRNA vaccine and certainly not in those groups who have now been authorized to receive a booster dose of an mRNA vaccine,” Dr. Amanda Cohn of the CDC said Friday. The FDA advisers said Friday they did not see any evidence of serious safety concerns with the J&J booster, though they acknowledged that the panel did not have enough time to independently review all of the data that the company submitted in its authorization application. The FDA’s top official, acting commissioner Dr. Janet Woodcock, is expected to issue the agency’s final determination on whether to authorize boosters within the next few days. Typically, the FDA follows its advisory panel’s recommendation.

overview of the three vaccines currently available in the U.S. — Pfizer, Moderna and J&J. According to national reports, the research reveals that Pfizer’s peak antibody response occurs at two weeks and then sharply declines by six months, and Moderna’s vaccine elicits higher neutralizing antibody response than Pfizer’s but also drops dramatically around eight months. Johnson & Johnson, on the other hand, did not produce a high antibody response when first given, but its response did not wane over time. The study notes that it’s not clear about what this means in terms of protection from infection and says more information is needed about which antibody responses correspond with real-life disease protection. A number of FDA advisers agreed Friday that a booster shot was needed because the J&J vaccine has been proven to provide less protection than the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines.

information officer for the California Interagency Incident Management Team 1. She explained that the use of aircraft “played a huge role” in slowing the spread of the fire so that ground crews could get in and put the line in. “We had a perfect day (Thursday) with the right amount of resources at the right place and right time,” Ms. Allison told the News-Press on Friday. Wind remains a primary source of the fire’s growth, and gusts of up to 40 mph hindered the use of fixed-wing flyers on Monday and Tuesday. Calmer wind speeds made it possible to use aerial resources in the latter half of this week, and Ms. Allison said that the next two days will be “pivotal” for battling winds and reaching higher levels of containment.

SPORTS ROUNDUP
Dons beats Royals in girls golf By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR
Santa Barbara defeated cross-town rival San Marcos 260-263 in girls golf action Thursday. The Dons’ Ella Arce was the match’s medalist with the lowest score, 44. Others on the Santa Barbara team and their scores were Riley Malmsten, 51; Jasmine Zukor, 51; Lauren Fitzgerald, 57; Natasha Torres, 57, and Ella Sales, 58. “Junior Ella Arce shot a personal best and parred holes 3,4 and 6,” Dons Coach Ryan Throop told the News-Press in an email. “It was so close today and could have gone either way against a well-coached Royal team,” Throop said. “This win completes the league and puts the Dons in a three-way tie for second place in the league with San Marcos and Santa Ynez.” Santa Barbara now has a 10-5 record overall. Its Channel League record is 6-4. The Dons will next compete Monday and Tuesday during the Channel League Individual Finals at Alisal Ranch Golf Course. During Thursday’s match, Riley O’Brien led San Marcos with 45. “Her drives and tee shots were consistent, and she put herself in excellent scoring positions on the course today,” Coach Sarah Ashton told the News-Press in an email. Others on the Royals team and their scores were Evelina Erickson, 48; Campbell Thayer, 52; Fia Torrey, 55, and Talia Cummings, 63. “Freshman Campbell Thayer had a heck of a day on the course,” Ashton said. “She parred hole 3 and posted her new PR (personal record) at 52, a significant improvement over her prior PR. She sank a key putt on hole 8 after a tough lie off the second shot.
“It was so close today and could have gone either way against a well-coached Royal team. This win completes the league and puts the Dons in a threeway tie for second place in the league with San Marcos and Santa Ynez.” Dons Coach Ryan Throop “Her putting was excellent today, and she showed a lot of intention in her choices. I’m really proud of her improvement this season,” the coach said. Ashton said her team had a disadvantage Thursday. “It’s not an excuse, but we were missing our No. 2 and No. 5 players due to illness and a serious medical issue,” she said. “We missed them today and hope they are healthy enough to return to play soon.”
CARPINTERIA BEATS NORDHOFF IN WATER POLO The Carpinteria Warriors boys water polo team had a fast start and kept up the pace, defeating the Northoff Rangers 17-9 Thursday. Asher Smith scored the Warriors’ first four goals of the Citrus Coast League game. “The Warriors led 5-1 at the first quarter then extended the lead to 9-1 at halftime,” Coach Jon Otsuki told the News-Press in an email. “The large lead enabled reserve players to filter in throughout the second half. “Senior Reyn Clayton made the most of
his play time, tallying two steals and a field block defensively and two goals scored on the offensive side,” Otsuki said. “Smith added 3 additional goals for 7 on the day while senior Zach Isaac pitched in three, Coby Gonzales and Justin Main, two, and Gavin Lohuis rounded out the scoring with one.” The Warriors will travel to Camarillo on Monday, then host Hueneme for a double header Thursday before heading to Cabrillo on Friday. The Warriors are now 2-0 in league play and 15-4 overall.
CARPINTERIA BEATS FILLMORE IN TENNIS The Carpinteria girls tennis team defeated Fillmore15-3 Thursday during a Citrus Coast League match. “I was really pleased with how we played in doubles,” Coach Charles Bryants told the News-Press in an email. “We dropped just two games total. “But it was more than that,” Bryants continued. “We did an excellent job of being Please see SPORTS on B4

The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department downgraded its Air Quality Alert to an Air Quality Watch Friday afternoon, which applied to the entire county and the Channel Islands. In a news release, the department said ash and smoke from the Alisal Fire “still have the potential to affect air quality, but any impacts are not expected to be as significant as they were earlier this week.” To stay up to date on the latest air quality conditions, visit the Air Pollution Control District website at ourair.org/todays-air-quality or check the EPA Fire and Smoke Map at fire.airnow.gov.

Friday, Dylan Youngblood, an officer with CHP Santa Barbara, told the News-Press. The officer said CHP is asking motorists to “remain vigilant” and be aware that emergency units are in the area around Gaviota because the fire is still active. Mr. Youngblood said officers have noticed several drivers pulling over to the shoulder of Highway 101 to observe the fire and burn scar, and he said CHP is cautioning against this. “As much as we are allowing the freeway to be open, the public just needs to be aware that in the event that we need to use the large shoulder to stage emergency vehicles, we would recommend that they not do that,” Mr. Youngblood said.

NEWS-PRESS ENDORSEMENT
Randy Rowse for Santa Barbara mayor Santa Barbara desperately needs a leader who not only understands but appreciates business — the lifeblood that keeps the city running. We believe there is no one on the slate better to fill the position of mayor than Randy Rowse — a man who successfully ran a thriving business. This city has had the alternative for decades. As a result, one only has to look at the state of downtown today: “Homelessness” run amok, streets becoming increasingly narrow for cars but extremely wide for bikes and skateboarders, bulb-outs and the canyonization of Chapala. On the horizon, and probably blocking it, are high rises on State and Santa Barbara streets. Get ready for more massive structures built much too close to sidewalks and streets that would make Pearl Chase roll over in her grave. Not to mention, arbitrarily deciding to increase what was height limit of structures and allowing structures to be built too close to sidewalks and streets, dirty sidewalks, shoppers being accosted by petty criminals who never see the inside of a jail, the city’s micro-managing of those businesses that can still operate. There are too many arbitrary regulations being foisted upon

those businesses still in business — and more coming all the time. It’s taxation without representation for those who own businesses downtown and within the city limits. Business owners pay an inordinate amount of taxes and fees yet have no voting rights if one lives outside the city limits. Basically, it’s punishing those who bring money into the city coffers yet giving windfalls to those who bring nothing — spending $1.6 million to house 50 alleged homeless for four months in hotel rooms — paid for by those who have no say. If you don’t want status quo governance of Santa Barbara, vote for Randy Rowse. He’s the only candidate who can turn this city around.

Major General Philip James Conley, Jr., USAF (Ret.) died peacefully on Thursday, October 7, 2021 in Santa Barbara, California at the age of 94. A native of West Warwick, Rhode Island, Phil was born on May 22, 1927, to Philip J. Conley and Lillian L. Burns. In his youth, he was active in Boy Scouts and earned the rank of Eagle Scout. Following attendance at La Salle Academy and Providence College, he was appointed to the United States Naval Academy, graduated in 1950, and was offered a commission in the newly formed (1947) United States Air Force. During the Korean War, he flew 100 combat missions as a forward air controller, serving with the Army’s I Corps and the 1st British Commonwealth Division. He then earned an advanced degree in aeronautical engineering at the University of Michigan. While living in Ann Arbor, he met Shirley Andrews and they were married in 1956. During his Air Force career, Phil flew over 4,200 hours in 86 different aircraft types, including the F-15, F-16, B-52 and B-1. His many assignments included service in the Vietnam War and as Chief of Staff of Air Force Systems Command. A highlight of Phil’s career began in 1978, as commander of the Air Force Flight Test Center at Edwards AFB, CA. While there, Phil was responsible for over 400 test projects affecting the US national defense posture. Major flight test programs included the B-1, F-16, F-15, A-10 and F-117, and many of these planes remain primary combat aircraft in the Air Force today. Additionally, he was the Center commander for the first space shuttle landing on Edwards’ dry lake bed, and on July 4, 1982 he hosted President Reagan’s visit to view the first shuttle landing on a conventional runway. Following Phil’s retirement in 1983, Phil and Shirley moved to Santa Barbara where Shirley had graduated from UCSB. Phil’s Catholic faith was very important to him throughout his life. Phil and Shirley were active members of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church, Montecito, for more than 30 years. Phil served on several non-profit boards including the Pierre Claeyssens Veterans Foundation, the Flight Test Historical Society, and the American Irish Historical Society. In 2007, Phil was inducted into the Rhode Island Aviation Hall of Fame. Throughout retirement, he travelled frequently to his family home in Rhode Island and to Ireland where, while tracing his family heritage there, he made many friends and felt very much at home. Phil’s Navy roots never left him. He rarely missed an annual Navy football game in Annapolis, MD. Phil and Shirley belonged to the Montecito Country Club and the Santa Barbara Yacht Club, and they supported many local organizations, including the Santa Barbara Zoo, Botanic Garden, and Natural History Museum. They regularly attended fitness classes together at the Montecito YMCA for over two decades. Phil was preceded in death by Shirley, his loving wife of 64 years, in 2020, and by his sister, Helen Wray. He will be greatly missed by his children, Sharon Conley (Bill Sener), of Santa Barbara; Kathleen Conley, of Arlington, Virginia; Anne Pellegrini (Steve), of Newport Beach; and James Conley (Elsa), of Saratoga; and his grandchildren, extended family, and friends. His family would like to express their deep appreciation to Dr. Dennis Baker, Heritage House Assisted Living, and Assisted Hospice Care for the exceptional care he received. A funeral Mass will be held at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church, Montecito, at 10 AM on October 16 with subsequent services and interment in West Warwick, Rhode Island. The Mass will be live-streamed at https://bit. ly/MajGenPhilipConleyJrFuneral for those unable to attend in person. Arrangements by McDermott-Crockett Mortuary in Santa Barbara. Condolences to the family may be sent to Jim Conley, 20540 Komina Ave, Saratoga, CA 95070, philconley@cox.net. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to La Salle Academy (lasalle-academy.org) or the United States Naval Academy Athletics Department (navysports.com).

Dogs rule! Canines pose with artist owners for Westmont exhibit and book By MARILYN MCMAHON

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
f you are ready for a respite from the chaos around us — and who isn’t what with wildfires, the drought, COVID-19, politics? — there’s a wonderful remedy at the Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art’s downstairs gallery, where the uplifting exhibition,”Santa Barbara Artists and Their Dogs,” is on view through Dec. 18. Kerrie Smith, the museum’s Art Council president, spearheaded the creation of the book, “Santa Barbara Artists and Their Dogs,” which includes portraits of each of the 70 artists with their canine companions as well as short, touching and often humorous essays. “The exhibit and the book are about different types of artists and different breeds of dogs and the unconditional love that comes into a family, especially when you rescue a dog,” said Ms. Smith. “We hope we inspire readers and viewers to adopt and enjoy the love and affirmation that comes from being one of the pack,” added Judy L. Larson, museum director. Ten of the photographs are included here, along with excerpts from their essays. email: mmcmahon@newspress.com
FYI “Santa Barbara Artists and Their Dogs,” the exhibition, is on view through Dec. 18 at Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art, 955 La Paz Road, Montecito. Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. It is closed Sunday. The book costs $30 and is available at Tecolote Book Shop, 1470 East Valley Road in Montecito, and Chaucer’s Books, 3321 State St. in Santa Barbara.

“My art reflects a deep sense of joy over the subjects I am depicting. What my dogs have done is help me keep that delight alive.”
Patrick J. Hall, ceramic artist, and Tucker “We have a bond. No matter where I am, he’s right there next to me, wagging his tail when he wants to take a walk, or curled up at my feet, his head resting on my foot like it’s his pillow.”
Isaac Anguiano, welder, and Ceviche “(Ceviche) is so used to seeing everyone at the welding shop and going to work that if he misses a day, everyone is asking for him.”
Jeremy Tessmer, gallery director/curator, and Frida Pinky Noodle “We are officially in love. She is whip smart, quick as lightning and almost impossible to photograph.”
Marc Sucher, painter/drawer, and Domino “Marc and Domino enjoy walking together, getting out in nature and howling in unison. . . they give each other a great excuse to get outside and exercise every day.”

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.

ones to dinner. LIBRA — Take care that you don’t exhaust yourself. You could be doing too much for others right now. Your kind heart and generous nature often have you saying yes to requests when you should be refusing. Today you might want to rethink any obligations. Think of it this way you’re not saying no to someone else, you’re saying yes to yourself! SCORPIO — Today you hit the ground running. You’re happy, energetic, and optimistic. You feel love for all mankind. Don’t be surprised if this brings new people into your life. You can’t blame them for wanting to be around you. You’re looking as good as you feel. You can feel the eyes following you as you walk down the street. Enjoy the attention! SAGITTARIUS — You’re a traditionalist at heart and happy to do the same thing year in and year out. Your partner could be tiring of the old routine. Today your friend may want to do things differently. There’s no need to be traumatized by this change. You might discover some new traditions that you can add to the old. Be flexible. You won’t regret keeping an open mind. CAPRICORN — The love you feel for everyone today draws new people into your orbit. You’re in love with all, even people you couldn’t stand yesterday. If you’re in sales or a field that puts you in contact with many people, you can expect extraordinary success. People will do whatever it takes and pay any amount of money to connect with you. This applies to your personal life, too. AQUARIUS — You have a gentle way of expressing yourself to your loved one. It isn’t your style to make grand gestures or buy extravagant gifts. You prefer to spend quality time together, talking and cuddling. Today you may be in an unusually romantic mood and confess the depth of your feelings. This will have just the effect you hope for! PISCES — You may be expecting some visitors. Happy as you are about this, you may be feeling overwhelmed by what remains to be done. Pace yourself. These friends are coming to see you, not check under the beds for dust bunnies. It’s more important to enjoy their company than stress about housekeeping minutia. Leave some time to relax so you’re refreshed for their visit.

HOROSCOPE ARIES — Your energy level is at an all-time high, so you may work harder than usual. You could be inspired to work around the house, cleaning, repairing, and straightening up. Visitors may drop by unexpectedly this evening. Even though you weren’t planning on having company for dinner, the house is in good shape and you play the host beautifully. TAURUS — A shift in responsibilities may be needed at home. You or your partner may need more help with household tasks or want to abdicate responsibility for all the daily errands. Everyday chores can stress even the happiest of families. Try to work together to devise a plan that allows you to get everything done and still enjoy some fun together. GEMINI — Expect to hear some great news today. Some distant relatives may call to say they’re coming for a visit. Or you could find out about a trip that you and your family will take in the near future. Your spirits soar with the news, and you spread your excitement and positive spirit to others. CANCER — You have a keen mind and you’re thirsty for knowledge. A recent accomplishment may make you look for the next challenge. Consider looking to your hobbies for the next big thing in your life. The little side projects that you enjoy working on could lead to a new field. You’re especially suited to research-oriented fields. You’re bound to succeed. LEO — You may be feeling nostalgic for old friends and faraway family. Even if you haven’t spoken to them in a while, pick up the phone and call them up. All signs indicate that anyone you talk to today will be very glad to hear from you. You’ll be surprised by how much you have in common. The conversation picks up right where you left off last time. VIRGO — With the current aspects, you can expect positive job changes. You’ve worked hard these past few months and contributed important ideas. Don’t be surprised if you get rewarded with recognition, raise, or promotion. Go out and celebrate with friends tonight. You deserve a night on the town. Nothing would give you more pleasure than treating your loved

Continued from Page A3 much more consistent and also working on being aggressive. There were not too many unforced errors today. “Natalie Martinez/Ariana Lounsbury, Natalia Perez/ Cassandra Maya Prado each went 3-0 and did not drop any games,” the coach said. “Abbie Delwiche/Valerie Ojeda went 2-0 and Stephanie Gonzalez/Nansy Velasquez went 1-0. “But all our teams looked sharp today. We had a good warmup and it carried over to all three of their sets,” Bryants said. “In singles, we had a more difficult time,” the coach said. “Zahra Porinsh went 3-0 but had to pull out a tie-break win against the Flashes’ No. 1 player. Silke Leonard went 2-1, and Sasha Porinsh went 1-2. “I thought Sasha played well and was close to knocking off the Flashes’ top player,” Bryants said. “Whereas our doubles team really cut back on their unforced errors, our singles players were a little less patient and were a bit more aggressive in their shot selection,” he said. “We seemed to lose those long rallies too often. “Overall, I was happy with how the girls played,” Bryants said. “We now have a tough matchup at Malibu on Monday.” Carpinteria is now 12-4 and 8-0 in the Citrus Coast League.

UCSB wins third straight game in women’s soccer

San Marcos athlete Campbell Thayer swings into action at the tee on hole 1 during the Royals’ match Thursday against Santa Barbara. Coach Sarah Ashton praised Thayer for her improvement during the season.
The UCSB women’s soccer team (7-6-3, 5-1-1) overcame a first-half deficit Thursday night at UC San Diego (4-7-2, 2-2-1) to earn its third straight win, 2-1. The Gauchos fell behind in the 30th minute when UCSD’s Ava D’Arcangelo slotted one into the top left corner, making it 1-0. But it didn’t take too long for UCSB to find the equalizer, as sophomore midfielder Skye Shaffer scored her first goal of the season in the 37th minute off the assist by junior forward Elise Ziem. In the 79th minute, Emma Vanderhyden, the reigning Big West Defensive Player of the Week, put away the game-winning goal with a right-footed strike into the right side of the net. Vanderhyden scored for her second straight game, notching her third goal of 2021. The senior defender has now tallied two points in three straight contests. Ziem also duplicated her box score contribution from Sunday’s win over Cal State Bakersfield, recording an assist for the second consecutive outing. UCSB will be back home at its Harder Stadium for the 7 p.m. Oct. 21 Blue-Green rivalry matchup with Cal Poly. email: dmason@newspress.com

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
