Stacks of televisions are lined up at Best Buy during Black Friday throughout the store.
By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
Black Friday shoppers had their choice of high-definition televisions priced hundreds off retail well into the afternoon Friday at Best Buy and Target in Goleta. Some deals were out of stock by noon, but shoppers who slept in had ample opportunity to save. The Black Friday experience has changed over the years, swapping doorbusters for week-long sales. The National Retail Federation, the industry’s largest trade organization, has tracked a trend of early holiday shopping through consumer surveys. According to the NRF’s 2021 survey, 61% of shoppers had begun buying gifts by early November. In 2011, 51% had started checking off lists. This year, shoppers answered they have completed an average of 28% of their shopping. In 2011, consumers had 18% of their gifts purchased. “Consumers are starting earlier than ever to be sure they can get what they want, when they want it, at a price they want to pay. Black Friday stopped being a one-day event years ago, and this year some consumers started shopping for Christmas as early as Halloween,” NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay said. The News-Press talked to customers who had made purchases late Friday morning. They primarily purchased items for themselves. Bill and Joni Fogg went to Best Buy so their son could purchase headphones he had been eyeing. They hadn’t planned to purchase anything themselves but after browsing, they checked out with a flat screen and a sound bar. They saw the prices and thought it couldn’t get better.

The World Health Organization announced a new COVID-19 strain, the Omicron variant, on Friday. The WHO dubbed the new strain as a “variant of concern” or VOC, which is the organization’s most serious category. Also described as B.1.1.529, the strain had rapidly spread in South Africa, causing the U.S. to block flights from several countries in southern Africa. The European Union also announced similar travel restrictions. “This variant has a large number of mutations, some of which are concerning,” the WHO announced in a news release. “Preliminary evidence suggests an increased risk of reinfection with this variant.” There is currently no proof that the variant is more lethal, and the World Health Organization announced it would be several weeks before they could garner any information on how contagious the variant is. The WHO additionally cautioned against premature travel restrictions saying global authorities should take a “risk-based and scientific approach.” So far, a few dozen cases have been confirmed in Botswana, Belgium, Israel and Hong Kong. It is unclear whether or not COVID19 mutations pose a threat to vaccines’ effectiveness. However, British Health Secretary Sajid Javid told lawmakers the new variant could render vaccines less effective. Scientists in South Africa discovered the Omicron strain while observing an increase in infections surrounding Johannesburg. They praised South African public health institutions for picking up on the variant in such an early phase. The World Health Organization maintains that there is currently no substantive information about the Omicron variant and urges people not to panic over the news. The organization announced it was meeting with South African public health leaders to discuss next steps.

Festival of Trees to raise money for skatepark
WRIGHT, Billy Keith We’ve lost one of the good ones.
Billy Keith “BK” Wright, 73, passed away in Santa Barbara, California on October 5, 2021 following a surprisingly quick fight with lung cancer. Born December 3, 1947 in Dalhart, Texas, Keith relocated with his family to Santa Barbara in 1956 where he attended Franklin Elementary School, Santa Barbara Junior High School and Santa Barbara High School (Once a Don, Always a Don). Growing up he spent time at the East Side Boys Club playing football when they wore old school leather helmets and was a member of the bygone Hammond’s Reef Surf Club. During the ‘60s BK and his high school buddies made a colorful trip hitch-hiking across the United States. Putting his Texas roots to use he was a Whip for Old Nevada hay rides in Las Vegas. He was always a dog lover. After working as a Cement Mason for 30 years Billy retired from the City of Santa Barbara in 2012. Always devoted and loyal, nothing mattered more to him than family and friends. He liked getting together with his cohort of lifelong friends to shoot the breeze, joke, share stories and ideas. A lover of the outdoors, he enjoyed fishing as well as reading, country music, crossword puzzles, and found amusement in the humor and philosophy of Mark Twain and Will Rogers. Billy was a great guy with a big heart and dry sense of humor. Billy Keith is survived by his wife, Rebecca, four children, Paul Zachary Wright (Maryann), Emily Meyers (Dwayne Douglas), Jetta Harris (Craig) and Aubrey Wright, three grandchildren, Nathaniel Jordan, Myles Jordan and Asher Harris, sister, Penny Heldt and many family and friends. He was preceded in death by his father, Billie Wright (1990), mother, Dimple Lee Wright (2013) and brother, Lanny Wright (1998). The date for a celebration of life will be announced in the future. In lieu of flowers donations may be made online to the Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 218 Santa Barbara.

People browse through the Carpinteria Lions Club’s Festival of Trees event on Friday in Carpinteria.
By FORREST MCFARLAND NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT
The Carpinteria Lions Club opened its final Festival of Trees event Friday. The festival will run from Nov. 26 to Dec. 12 at 700 Linden Ave., Carpinteria. Hours are from 2 and 8 p.m. weekdays and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekends. This will be the final Festival of Trees as the club is losing its longtime location in the downtown corridor, according to festival organizer Mike Dawson of the Lions Club. This was considered the best location due to its proximity to a park where the Christmas parade and lighting took place. The festival consists of a silent auction for gifts surrounding Christmas trees in downtown Carpinteria. The proceeds from the festival will go to the Lions Club’s fundraising effort to help build a skate park. Previous festivals have raised more than $250,000 for various local nonprofits. Locals and others are encouraged to participate in the club’s final Christmas tree drawing, set for noon Dec. 12. Raffle tickets for the trees cost $1

your mood and in the room! LIBRA — You’re in a spiritual state of mind today. Your dreams are vivid and you’re sure they’re trying to tell you something specific. It’s hard to dispel the urge to travel. In particular, you’re drawn to someplace where you can study a different culture. Such a trip might not be practical now, but you can manage some online research on the subject! SCORPIO — It’s important to confront your troubles head on, but not at the expense of putting your life on hold. An important person, someone who acted as your touchstone, no longer figures prominently in your life. This is a difficult adjustment for you. Make an extra effort not to turn inward as is your tendency in times of trouble. Force yourself to socialize and you may find a new friend. SAGITTARIUS — Looking good is the best revenge. If you’re trying to get over a failed relationship, the best way to pull yourself out of a depression is to look your very best. Get up early and go for a run or an exercise class. Buy some new clothes and take extra care with your grooming. You’ll lift your spirits and attract a new, more fitting partner. CAPRICORN — As much as you enjoy being out with people, tonight is a good evening for rest. If you can, try taking the afternoon off. Curl up in your favorite chair with a good book, take a slow walk through a garden, or putter in the kitchen and cook something fabulous. You need some time to refuel your soul. You’ll tackle your projects tomorrow, relaxed and rejuvenated. AQUARIUS — You’re especially attuned to the feelings of others. This gift is more blessing than curse, yet there are times when it’s hard not to take on the troubles of others. Today a close friend may unload his or her burdens on you. Listen kindly, offer advice, but don’t offer to do more than is realistic. After all, this isn’t your problem. PISCES — Delays seem to rule the day, and there’s no getting around them. Traffic snarls plague the commute and calls don’t get returned. You feel as though you’re spending the day stuck in a revolving door, whirling around but getting nowhere. Take heart and do your best to get through with some of your humor intact. Chocolate helps. Tomorrow will be better!

HOROSCOPE ARIES — The bubble you’ve been living in for a long time may burst today. You could face some real disappointments. Try not to let this get you down. Keep the big picture in mind as best you can. Remind yourself that trips or meetings or fun days out can always be rescheduled, and then you’ll have the pleasure of looking forward to these events all over again. TAURUS — This is a day to be directed inward rather than outward. It’s a good thing, too, because the outer world isn’t too pleasant. Nothing seems to be going right. Checks aren’t arriving and calls aren’t returned. You’re feeling ineffective at best. Take heart. It has nothing to do with you and everything to do with the planets. The mood will pass. Meanwhile, do something fun by yourself. GEMINI — You’ve allowed money issues to become too prominent. It’s true that your financial picture isn’t as rosy as you’d like it to be, but whose is? Try to put your troubles in perspective. There’s no need to let these worries impact your relationships with friends and family. Ask for help if you feel you need it. CANCER — Your body, which usually runs at warp speed, is telling you to slow down. You need to take a break from time to time. Eating a big bowl of caramel popcorn while watching TV won’t send you into a downward spiral from which you’ll never emerge. On the contrary, such an indulgence may leave you feeling refreshed and even giddy. Why not try it? LEO — Today is a day to rest on your laurels, literally. You’ve achieved a tremendous amount in the last few days. You’ve earned some time off. Call in sick and go see a movie in the middle of the day. Take yourself out to lunch and order a glass of the best champagne. Take this day to reflect on your accomplishments before you set your mind on the next project. VIRGO — Flowers and fresh plants can perk up your mood as well as your home. You may feel your abode is looking a bit shabby. Simple tricks to improve its appearance will do wonders for your outlook. Go to a kitchen store and splurge on a few new items. Put a pot of herbs in a window. You’ll be amazed at the change in

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.

Locals encouraged to ‘shop small’ for the holidays during Small Business Saturday BLACK FRIDAY
Continued from Page A1
looked at what the local stores offered on Black Friday before he made his decision. Mr. Ybarra has shopped on Black Friday before, and he said it was less competitive this year than he has witnessed in the past. “I think there’s just so many deals out there that now it’s kind of a free for all,” he said. Best Buy was the second store the father-son duo stopped by Friday. They like to have fun as they browse for sales. Inside Target, some deals were wiped out by 10 a.m., but the store was as busy as a normal Saturday. Shoppers bought groceries, avoiding the allure of half-off electronics. The parking lot at La Cumbre Mall in Santa Barbara was filling up by around noon, with some cars stopping in anticipation of a spot. Macy’s was the largest destination, with consumers spread across three floors with ample room to shop. Sisters Mary Kekwick and Jennifer Wheelock said they stood in line for a maximum of 10 minutes. “I thought it was deserted,” Ms. Kekwick said. “We came later because we said we don’t want
to get there when the rush is on. We came here, and we couldn’t believe it.” Ms. Kekwick is visiting from England, and Ms. Wheelock lives near San Diego but has a son in Santa Barbara. They had an idea of what they wanted when they came to the mall. They noticed better sales at Macy’s than at Chico’s, a popular women’s clothing store. The NRF asked consumers if they planned on shopping instore on Black Friday, and 64% responded that they were likely to, up from 51% last year.
SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY Today is “Small Business Saturday,” and local businesses are coaxing customers to “shop small” during the holidays.

COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA BOARD OF SUPERVISORS NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Tuesday, December 7, 2021 In Santa Maria The meeting starts at 9:00 a.m. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Tuesday December 7, 2021, the Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing to consider Case No. No. 21APL-00000-00048, an appeal of the County Planning Commission’s September 1, 2021 approval of the Cresco California Cannabis Cultivation and Processing Project (Case Nos. 20RVP-00000-00058, 21CUP-00000-00006, and 21CDP-00000-00118). The appeal was filed by Elise Cossart-Daly, attorney, on behalf of Maureen Claffey. The Proposed Project is a request for a Coastal Development Permit, Minor Conditional Use Permit, and Revised Development Plan to a Development Plan (Case No. 10DVP-00000-00010) approved on March 10, 2014 to allow for 7.98 acres of mixed-light cannabis cultivation, nursery, and processing. Mature mixed-light cultivation will take place in the existing 264,500-sq.-ft. greenhouse, and nursery mixed-light cultivation will take place in a new 17-ft.-tall, 61,840-sq.-ft. addition to Greenhouse 1. The addition will include locker rooms, administrative offices, a walk-in cooler, and restrooms. Harvests will take place continuously year round. A new 26-ft.-tall, 24,751-sq.-ft. processing building will be constructed and used for freezing, curing, drying, bucking, trimming, grading, packaging, storage, testing sampling, and offsite transport. The processing building will also include an employee break area, locker rooms, administrative offices, and restrooms. Grading for the Proposed Project will consist of expansion of the existing storm water detention basins as well as site leveling in the parking and structural development areas. Total grading for the Proposed Project will require 6,030 cubic yards (CY) of cut, 3,950 CY of fill, and 2,080 CY of export. The hours of operation will be from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. daily. For additional information, please contact Gwen Beyeler, Planner, at: Email: gbeyeler@countyofsb. org | Tel: 805-934-6269 Please see the posted agenda and staff report available on the Thursday prior to the meetings at http://santabarbara.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx under the hearing date. On June 11, 2021 and effective immediately, Governor Newsom issued Executive Orders N-07-21 and N-08-21, which rescinded some prior Executive Orders related to COVID-19, but Executive Order N08-21 additionally states some prior Executive Orders related to COVID-19 still remain necessary to help California respond to, recover from, and mitigate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. For current and alternative methods of public participation for the meeting of December 7, 2021, please see page two (2) of the posted Agenda.
