Supply chain hurts recovery Global complications hit local businesses

By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

Pandemic-induced backlogs and complications in the global supply chain remain a challenge for U.S. business owners who are restarting operations or trying to stock their shelves in anticipation of a booming recovery.

This supply chain backlog is even having an impact in Santa Barbara County, where some owners feel the blunt of global shortages.

Bob Wesley, the manager of Meritage Wine Market in downtown Santa Barbara, said it’s been months since the store has stocked some of its most popular imported wines due to a surging demand in the U.S. That has created backlogs in Europe.

“Things have slowed down tremendously,” Mr. Wesley told the News-Press. “Items have been out of stock for months and months.

A lot of importers, when I look through their catalog, they just notate a product arriving in June,

which could mean July or August as far as we can tell.”

Part of the reason for the local backlog of orders, Mr. Wesley said, has come as a secondary impact of California’s reopening.

With so many restaurants and retailers looking to beef up inventory immediately to serve an influx of customers, wine importers have struggled to deliver and maintain inventory in the same way as before the pandemic.

“The more immediate impact of California reopening — it’s like the dam has burst,” Mr. Wesley said. “With restaurants reopening, everybody wants their product now.”

In addition to the backlog, the U.S. is also seeing a shortage in truck drivers, which in turn, is leading to delays in product delivery.

Mr. Wesley has experienced this firsthand, as he used to receive orders within a day or two.

Now he’s waiting for months to Please see SUPPLY on A3

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

While this year’s Fiesta Ranchera in Goleta wasn’t quite the typical celebration drawing nearly a thousand attendees, the “On the Go” version held Thursday night at Rancho La Patera and Stow House was perhaps even more celebratory and intimate.

The event, organized by Old Spanish Days and the Goleta Valley Historical Society, featured dynamic dance performances by the Spirit and Junior Spirit of Fiesta and the Maria Bermudez Flamenco Performing Arts Studio.

The crowd also enjoyed flamenco music played

by Tony Ybarra’s band and hors d’oeuvres with a Mexican-Spanish flair.

A proclamation on behalf of the city of Goleta recognized Thursday as Fiesta Ranchera Day. And Goleta Mayor Pro Tempore James Kyriaco praised the Spirit and Junior Spirit for their accomplishments and for being selected for their roles with Old Spanish Days.

Around 125 people came to enjoy the party, and Amanda De Lucia, executive director of the Goleta Valley Historical Society, said “it was just wonderful.”

“We saw a lot of young, local talent displayed, and it was just magnificent,” she told the NewsPress. “People were in such a celebratory mood.”

The event was complete with upbeat Latino music, impressive dance numbers and catered empanadas, ceviche and a loaded salsa bar.

Attendees drank and enjoyed a taste of what’s to come for this year’s Fiesta in Santa Barbara.

David Bolton, the second vice president for Old Spanish Days, made sure to mention the event’s sponsors: Community West Bank and Bartlett, Pringle & Wolf.

“It was a great opportunity for Old Spanish Days and the Goleta Valley Historical Society to thank our sponsors and longtime supporters,” he told the News-Press.

A special poster was auctioned off with the winning bid at $1,000.

The poster contains a collage of generational artwork from relatives of this year’s La Presidenta Stephanie Petlow. The collage Please see FIESTA on A6

Senators search for compromise on infrastructure

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

After being introduced in early April, President Joe Biden’s infrastructure package is still struggling to achieve bipartisan support in the Senate.

However, a new bipartisan group of senators — 10 Democrats and 11 Republicans — is developing an infrastructure deal that has yet to be released publicly. The deal has a $1 trillion price tag and $579 billion in new spending, according to The Associated Press.

This cuts the president’s original price tag in half from $2 trillion, and his original new spending plan consisted of $600 billion.

The 21 lawmakers who reached the deal behind closed doors announced Thursday that the proposal would be “fully paid for and not include tax increases,” according to a CNBC report. They have yet to announce what will be funding the bill.

More liberal Democrats in the Senate expressed opposition to the bipartisan deal, raising concerns that the negotiators traded policy priorities in order to gain Republican support, the Washington Post reported. A large priority for the Senate Democrats continues

to be climate change, and President Biden hopes to prioritize broadband, electric vehicle charging stations and include the corporate tax rate hike, from 21% to 28%, which Republicans staunchly oppose.

Senate Republicans prefer focusing on fixing existing transportation systems, funding road, highway and other project improvements. They oppose any tax hikes to fund the bill, but Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, said the package does propose the gas tax be indexed to rise at the rate of inflation. This was met with opposition from the White House, who said the effort was a nonstarter.

The president is seeking a bipartisan agreement to pass the bill, but is simultaneously instructing Democrats in control of the House and Senate to prepare to pass sections of the bill on their own using the budget reconciliation process that only requires 51 votes.

Realistically, the president and Democrats are preparing to go it alone if Republicans attempt to block the investments with the filibuster.

With 21 lawmakers backing the bipartisan proposal, theoretically, the Senate could reach the 60-vote threshold needed to advance the

bill.

“I’m still hoping we can put together the two bookends here,” the president said on Wednesday, according to national media reports.

Preliminary reports detail the $579 billion in new spending in the bipartisan proposal will include: $110 billion on roads and highways, $66 billion on passenger and freight rail and $48 billion on public transit, according to a Republican who requested anonymity to discuss the package, The Associated Press reported.

In addition, compromise was made on another $47 billion to go to resiliency efforts to fight climate change and money for electric vehicle charging stations.

The bipartisan group also wants to tap into $120 billion in unspent COVID-19 relief funds and $315 billion from the Paycheck Protection Program.

However, if Democrats choose to ignore the bipartisan proposal and start a process passing a majority of the package without Republican votes, initial votes could start in July.

“We have many reasons to enter the summer season with optimism. The intent to travel has increased to levels we haven’t seen since the pandemic began,” Kathy Janega-Dykes, CEO of Visit Santa Barbara, said.

two key questions: How steep will the recovery curve be? And what lasting shifts in use of commercial, office and retail space might result from the pandemic?

Key statistics included: stronger than expected commercial sales only down 6% from 2019; sales activity down 19% in 2021; slow leasing activity; very stable sale prices and rental rates only down less than 5% since 2019; and increased vacancy at an all-time high of 13%.

“In summary, the city of Santa Barbara is experiencing many of the same real estate struggles other cities have faced during the pandemic, but we have weathered the storm surprisingly well, and I am very optimistic about this city,” Mr. DeJohn said.

At the conclusion of the State of the City presentation, with the exception of Santa Barbara’s current mayor, the candidates running for mayor in November — James Joyce, Randy Rowse and Deborah Schwartz — shared their visions of the city’s future.

Mr. Joyce said if elected, he would start by sitting down with each individual council member and ask for their five biggest priorities. He said he would be proactive in addressing needs of local businesses, invest in a shop local program and create a business outreach officer position.

“I’m running for mayor because what we’ve been doing isn’t working, and we can do it better,” he said. “... We have two ears and one mouth for a reason, because listening is important.”

Mr. Rowse said that there are hurdles impeding the city’s path to recovery, specifically homelessness and housing. He said “civic strategies and political courage have yet to emerge from the situation to bring the situation under control.”

He said he would provide a “laserlike focus on local matters” and create unity between City Hall and businesses.

“I’m sad that the (current) mayor has taken the unfortunate position of disregarding that relationship,” Mr. Rowse said.

Ms. Schwartz said the city faces three main crises: homelessness, a housing inventory shortage and economic vitality threats. She said as mayor, she is the only one with the connections to successfully advocate on a state and federal level for funds to address the homeless. The candidate also promised to change policies and internal department practices currently delaying housing development approvals and keep the workforce local.

Elected city officials “who have served in office over the last decade and more are responsible for the housing and inventory crisis and have not earned the community’s confidence to continue or return,” she said. “A respectful, collaborative relationship between the mayor and the business community is essential.” email: gmccormick@newspress.com

across all categories.

Santa Barbara’s State of the City came shortly after the recent reopening of the state of California, sans mask mandates, business closures, social distancing and capacity requirements and all other pandemic regulations.

Because of this timing, the speakers highlighted the city’s perseverance through the worst of the past year and three months, and they spoke to the incoming recovery as businesses and schools reopen.

“We experienced an economic downturn more crippling than anything since the Great Depression,” Jason Harris, the city’s economic development manager, said during the presentation. “... We have remained resilient throughout, and we have much to be thankful for — the resilience of our businesses, the resilience of our

of the downtown core.

“Our recovery is certain, but it must be crafted and invested together,” he said.

Dr. Hilda Maldonado, the superintendent of Santa Barbara Unified School District, highlighted the resilience of students, teachers and parents throughout the course of the pandemic. She also brought to light some statistics highlighting trends in socioeconomic disadvantages among students.

For instance, she said, 50% of the student population is considered socioeconomically disadvantaged.

Roughly 13% of the district’s students are designated as homeless, and 15% are emerging multilingual students. She noted that compared to white students, students of color are three times as likely to be misidentified as having a specific learning disability.

She also said Latino students are underrepresented in advanced courses and less likely to attend college.

Furthermore, Dr. Maldonado said that 74% of white Santa Barbara Unified students are prepared for college and career readiness, but only 38% of Latino students are prepared.

“We believe we’re only as good as our lowest performing students,” the superintendent said, adding that she hopes these statistics (which are common among many other regions in the nation) create a “national societal awakening and call for educational and social justice.”

“I’ve been in the mode of listening, learning and leading through a pandemic, with the goal of keeping our staff and students safe and reopening our campuses to full, in-person learning as soon as possible,” Dr. Maldonado said.

Kathy Janega-Dykes, the CEO of Visit Santa Barbara, spoke to the blows the pandemic dealt to the tourism and hospitality industries, referencing the 50% unemployment rate among hotel workers, the 640,000 room nights lost by the region’s hotels since last March and the inability to collect the 12% transient occupancy tax.

However, she highlighted the positives: Santa Barbara has been in high demand for travelers, the pace of recovery is “surprising,” and data shows that “Santa Barbara remains a very appealing leisure destination.”

“We have many reasons to enter the summer season with optimism,” she said. “The intent to travel has increased to levels we haven’t seen since the pandemic began.”

Ron Werft, the president and CEO of Cottage Health, covered the local health care sector’s accomplishments over the past year, from specialized care units and personal protective equipment partners to testing capabilities and finally, the COVID-19 vaccines. He said that the region now has “very low COVID case rates,” “more than 50% of eligible people in the county vaccinated” and “very low hospitalization numbers.”

“The 2021 winter surge of the virus has really strained our health systems, and mostly our health care workers,” he said.

“We’re all still recovering from that. It’s been an impact that’s been physical, emotional and financial for many of our health systems, and certainly for workers.”

Now, Mr. Werft said, Cottage Health is focused on continued vaccine outreach, prepping for potential variant-related demand increase, the future of vaccine boosters, improving the PPE supply chain, the future of telemedicine and current construction projects.

health care workers and academic institutions and the resilience of Santa Barbarans.”

Mr. Harris said that while the pandemic exacerbated long-standing challenges in the city such as housing and homelessness, hotel occupancy is increasing and financial assistance is available for small businesses via the state and federal government. The Santa Barbara City Council recently passed his three-year economic development plan, which he outlined during his remarks.

The plan details strategies to full recovery and a thriving city post-pandemic, focusing on: social equity, environmental protection, the city’s historic character and cultural resources, vibrant commercial districts, a positive business climate, new partnerships, increasing local purchasing opportunities, bilingual communications, improvements in land development processes and aid in revitalization

COVID cases hit all-time low for 2021

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

This week, COVID-19 cases in Santa Barbara County hit an alltime low for the past six months.

In the county’s final regularly scheduled COVID-19 virtual press conference, Dr. Van Do-Reynoso, the county public health director, announced that the county had a total of 38 new cases this week.

“That is amazing,” Dr. DoReynoso told reporters Friday.

“While this is very encouraging, we have to pause and acknowledge that nearly one in three community members who are over 12 years of age are not yet vaccinated.”

She said 68.9% of the eligible population in Santa Barbara County has received its first vaccine dose. The director also shared the percentages of vaccinated individuals according to age group, with the highest

FYI Under the state’s new guidelines that took effect Tuesday: Fully vaccinated individuals can go maskless in most settings — excluding public transit, indoors in schools and childcare facilities, health care settings, correctional facilities and homeless shelters.

Unvaccinated or partially vaccinated individuals will still be required to wear masks in all indoor public settings.

Businesses can choose one of three options: Make masks optional for vaccinated patrons and allow customers to self-attest their vaccination status; create a vaccine verification system; or require all customers to wear masks.

The state has disbanded all capacity and social distancing restrictions.

Vaccinated people, meanwhile, can access a digital record of their shots. To do so, visit myvaccinerecord.cdph. ca.gov.

percentage of vaccinated individuals in the 75-plus and 50to-64 age groups and the lowest percentage in the 12-to-15 and 16to-29 groups.

In addition, the highest percentage of vaccinated individuals according to ethnicity is among Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and the lowest is among American Indian/Native Alaskan.

“You can see that (with) vaccinations by race and ethnicity, we do have some groups lagging,” Dr. Do-Reynoso said.

The county recently launched an online platform that provides optional digital vaccine records for those who are vaccinated.

To create an account and access a digital vaccine record, visit myvaccinerecord.cdph.ca.gov.

The county’s public health officer, Dr. Henning Ansorg, is encouraging unvaccinated people to get their shots.

“We now see that almost all patients who are requiring hospital care and ICU admissions are unvaccinated people,” he told reporters Friday.

“In Santa Barbara County, we currently still have 12 people hospitalized with COVID-19 and three in the ICU fighting for their lives,” Dr. Ansorg said. “None of these patients were vaccinated.”

While this was the final regularly scheduled press conference, the public health officials said they will continue to provide updates on the county website through media and social media, weekly reports via email to subscribers and reports to the County Board of Supervisors.

“When we had our first press conference on March 12, 2020, we really had no idea what was to come,” Dr. Do-Reynoso said. “Over the past 15 months, it has taken a whole team of people to bring you 88 press conferences.”

In addition, they reminded viewers that in the event of more outbreaks or a certain variant gaining momentum, the county will “again implement necessary measures to prevent its spread,” according to Dr. Ansorg.

Santa Barbara County reported three new COVID-19 cases on Friday, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 34,596, with

‘People think about the pandemic being over. Economically, it’s not’ SUPPLY

Continued from Page A1 receive some of the most popular products he sells.

Mr. Wesley noted he’s heard from multiple retailers that a lack of manpower is leading to many of the issues that he and other retailers are experiencing with obtaining supply.

He explained that it’s not so much an issue of wine supply, but rather, that there are not enough truck drivers to handle the influx in demand.

This same effect of the truck driver shortage has also been felt

by Josh Ellis, the brewmaster and co-founder of M. Special Brewing Co. Mr. Ellis told the News-Press that the truck driver shortage has impacted the speed of grain deliveries in recent months.

“There are not enough truckers to drive all the loads,” Mr. Ellis said. “I used to get my grain delivered in a day, and now it takes over a week. So I have the logistics problem of going from grain to glass to beer, which is my charge and has always been something that I really enjoyed.

But it’s becoming more complex because of supply chain issues.”

In addition to the truck driver shortage, Mr. Ellis said he has felt the impact of the aluminum can shortage that plagued the U.S. in the fall and winter of last year.

In lieu of COVID-related bar

closures, more brewers sought to package their products in aluminum cans to keep revenues afloat. But the influx in demand for cans led to intense shortages nationwide.

To fight the shortages, Mr. Ellis purchased a year’s worth of cans last year because “(suppliers) couldn’t guarantee that they were going to have enough cans for us to get through the year.”

“For a while, you couldn’t get cans at all,” Mr. Ellis added. “A lot of stuff just wasn’t coming over from China. Supply chains got interrupted, and I think it’s taken a little while to actually manifest themselves in the problems that we have now.”

He continued, “It is kind of funny when people think about the pandemic being over.

Economically, it’s not. There’s still stuff to shake out in the supply chains.”

Though some business owners are still struggling with the effects of the backlogged supply chain, others say they are seeing a return to normalcy in terms of inventories and supply chains.

John Dixon, the owner of TriCounty Produce, told the NewsPress that deliveries to the store have been occurring at a normal rate, adding that he has not seen any major impact from the supply chain backlog in recent months.

Except for a few imported items that are delayed or backlogged, Mr. Dixon said his inventories have been fulfilled by normal

movements in the supply chain.

Though stores during the pandemic had trouble keeping goods on the shelves at times, Mr. Dixon said this was largely due to a manpower shortage. Essentially, there was not enough manpower to deliver the goods quickly enough to meet the demand.

He said in some cases, that is what is happening with delayed shipment of items even now.

The item is available, but it is simply delayed because there is not enough manpower to deliver the items as quickly as they are needed.

“Things got backlogged because of the pandemic, and it’s just taking a while to catch up on everything,” Mr. Dixon said. “Just like during the pandemic itself, it’s not that we had a shortage of food, we had a kind of emergency situation in the distribution program with being able to distribute the product fast enough to stores.

“It became a problem during the peak of the pandemic, and with all the people doing all the hoarding, that created more of a shortage,” he said.

“The product was there, but stores couldn’t get it quick enough.” email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

San Marcos junior named CIF champion

Junior Masato Perera stands with his award. He’s the 2021 CIF Southern Section Individual Singles Champion.

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

San Marcos High School junior Masato Perera has made history.

He’s the first student in the school’s history to be named the CIF boys champion in tennis.

Perera defeated Kane Kelley of Chaminade 6-2, 6-2 in the semifinals and Alex Michelson of Aliso Niguel 1-6, 6-4, 6-3 in the finals.

With those victories, he was named the 2021 CIF Southern Section Individual Singles Champion on Thursday.

“This historic achievement was hard fought. Alex has great hands at the net and baseline, with equally consistent groundstrokes and earned quite a few easy points off drop shots and volleys,”

Head Coach Jarrod Bradley told the News-Press in an email.

“The difference in the match was Masato’s ability to adjust and move Alex around the court more. Masato showed the grit and mental determination to remain confident in the most crucial points of the match.”

Perera was also named a National High School Tennis All American as well as Most Valuable Player for Southern California.

He joins Taylor Dent and Pete Sampras as former winners of the prestigious award.

Perera is currently the No. 4 player in the nation in the USTA Boys 18s rankings. He has verbally committed to attend Harvard University in fall 2022.

FIESTA

Continued from Page A1 features: a watercolor painting of a Spanish dancer by Ms. Petlow’s mother, Sylvianna Johns; colored pencil drawings of iconic Santa Barbara landmarks such as the County Courthouse, Santa Barbara Mission and “Bud” Bottoms’ dolphin fountain at Stearns Wharf by Ms. Petlow’s granddaughter, Nadia Mason; artwork from El Pueblo Viejo by local architect Steve Howsz; and graphic design completed by Mateo Dovgin, a senior at Santa Barbara High School and the son of the 1998 Spirit of Fiesta.

“It’s just the generations of bringing everybody together and having the families help, just putting everything together with my theme, ‘Honoring Generations,’” Ms. Petlow told the News-Press.

She said she felt the event went “extremely well” and was a good way to give back to all of the businesses by having people go out to support them. Live dance performances occurred at both Los Arroyos Mexican Restaurant and the Nugget Bar and Grill.

“Everybody had a wonderful time just being able to socialize (and) visit with each other, people who hadn’t seen each other for probably over a year, because most of the time you see everybody at these events,” Ms. Petlow said, adding that the event allowed many generations of family members to reconnect.

People came from near and far to celebrate Fiesta Ranchera.

In fact, Ms. Petlow said this year’s Junior Spirit of Fiesta’s grandfather, Steve Metz, came all the way from Florida.

This year’s somewhat smaller crowd than usual didn’t phase Ms. De Lucia. She said drawing big crowds wasn’t the goal.

“The goal was to bring people back together and to celebrate both Fiesta as we’ve traditionally done it and just celebrating being able to be out again and to share a nice glass of wine,” she said. “That was the goal — it was accomplished … I think no matter where we celebrate, we’re happy to celebrate. And we had this first opportunity here at the ranch, and it will continue through July and August.”

Ms. Petlow said the event just made her more excited for what’s to come in the next couple months.

“I tell you, I had a smile from ear to ear,” she said. “We’re really excited to be able to bring Fiesta back to our Santa Barbara community in the safest way that we can following the guidelines.” email: gmccormick@newspress.com

CLASSICS SALE!

SANTA BARBARA — The Marcia Burtt Gallery is presenting a series titled “Variations” through Aug. 22.

The gallery is at 517 Laguna St., Santa Barbara.

The visuals are representations of artists reexamining views and motifs by revisiting the same locations at different times of day, at high and low tides and from

season to season.

“Light and shadow move across one painting to the next, new shapes take form, hues shift, and clouds drift and disperse,” the series description reads. “Artists paint in spring and return in autumn to find new colors.

They discover new vistas from exploring a neighborhood or finding a backcountry trail. Citrus

from the backyard tree gives way to roses or sunflowers.”

The paintings and photographs reveal a timeline of each artist’s process and focus in a “world in flux,” according to the description.

“My lifelong goal is to educate others about my culture and advocate for equality and justice,” said Ms. Medina. “I could not have done this without the support of the community and all the mentors I have had along the way.”

Diversions horoscope • puzzles

By Dave Green

ARIES — Remind your loved ones how much they mean to you today, Aries. Words are especially powerful. Don’t use them lightly.

Be thoughtful about how you treat others. Do your best to maintain peace. It isn’t a good idea to hold grudges or carry hatred for anyone. Good manners and a neat appearance are key elements to the day.

TAURUS — Feel free to express your independent attitude today, Taurus. Break out of any restrictions that might be keeping you from doing what you want to do. Also, make sure you aren’t compromising your own needs for those of others. Things should naturally flow your way, and you should be in a good mood for most of your waking hours.

Smile at the people around you.

GEMINI — Have fun today and don’t be so serious about anything, Gemini. This is a good time to lay low and enjoy the scenery. Go to a movie or see a play. Go to a party and celebrate.

Dress up in your most attractive garb and go in for the kill. This is a day to be talkative, lighthearted, and social. Heavy emotional issues will only weigh down the positive mood.

CANCER — You can do no wrong today, Cancer. In fact, you can navigate through the cracks without anyone noticing. You may find that you would rather be up on center stage. This is fine, too, just as long as the choice is yours.

Independence is a key theme for you today. You will find that the more you can break free, the better your mood will be.

LEO — Have some fun today, Leo. It’s time to balance all the work you’ve been doing with a little bit of fun. Yesterday’s honest efforts are turning into today’s rewards. There’s no need to be shy when it comes to receiving what is rightfully yours. Be proud of your accomplishments. If you can’t find someone to take you out to dinner, take yourself out!

VIRGO — The pace will be jumping today and your wit and cheerful words will be welcomed in almost every setting you enter, Virgo. Do things with others and see what kind of “trouble” you can stir up together. This is a time to get out and be social. Beautiful things and relaxing music are all favored on a day like this. You can Monday, November 2015 do no wrong by just 16, being your usual, outlandish self!

LIBRA — Many people may have a great deal to say today, Libra, but you could find that you’d rather sit and listen. Feel free to do so. A lot of what’s going around is gossip, so you might not want to get involved at all. This is probably a wise move. Keep your nose clean and simply absorb what you hear. Feel free to filter out anything that doesn’t sit right with you.

SCORPIO — Don’t be selfish today, Scorpio. This is a time to think about others. Instead of plowing ahead with a project by yourself, consider enlisting the help of a partner or friend.

Things are better accomplished cooperatively, regardless of how badly you may want to do something on your own. The effort put out by a team will produce unexpected results that prove quite favorable.

SAGITTARIUS — If you don’t say exactly what you mean today, Sagittarius, you might get into trouble. Don’t compromise your values just to maintain the peace. Love and romance are favorable for you, but only if your attitude is relaxed and carefree.

Your emotions will be quite strong, so do your best to balance them with a rational frame of mind.

CAPRICORN — Today is apt to be favorable for you, Capricorn.

You should keep the lines of communication open so you can spread your knowledge to others and receive the important information that is due to come your way. Your energy might come in erratic yet powerful bursts. You should find that your ego and emotions are quite strong.

AQUARIUS — You might feel a bit restless today, Aquarius.

You may want to get the word out to others. Unfortunately, your tongue may be tied and it could be hard for you to express yourself exactly the way you want. Balance is key. You should work to foster harmony among your associates. This is a good time to get out and be social.

PISCES — If you keep waiting for things to happen, Pisces, you may wake up one morning and realize that your life has passed and you never did half the things you dreamed of doing. The time to take action is now. Put your plan into effect. You may need to make some compromises, but you will find that, in general, people will follow your lead.

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.

MOXI expands hours, adds interactive laser show

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

COURTESY IMAGE

The Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara plans to build Vera Cruz Village, to be located at 116 E. Cota St. It will be designed for those with special needs.

New affordable housing for special needs clients SANTA BARBARA — The California Tax Credit Allocation Committee has allocated $10,301,010 in Federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits to a local project to be developed by the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara.

The new housing will be constructed for those with special needs, including the homeless. Total development costs are estimated at $17.6 million.

Vera Cruz Village, to be located at 116 E. Cota St., will provide 28 new affordable rental studio units, a one-bedroom manager’s unit and free supportive services.

The property consists of two parcels with a combined total of approximately 11,000 square feet and is across the street from the current Cota Street commuter parking lot.

Construction is anticipated to start in the fall and be completed within 12 to 14 months. All studio units will be subsidized with Project Based Vouchers, making rent affordable at 30% of a resident’s income.

— Marilyn McMahon

Lasers have arrived at MOXI, The Wolf Museum of Exploration & Innovation.

“LunchBoxing with Lasers by Mike Gould” is the Santa Barbara museum’s first limited-time art installation since reopening. It’s on display through Sept. 16 in the Interactive Media Theater on the second floor of the museum, 125 State St. The exhibit is among the highlights at the museum, which, as of Sunday, is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week.

“LunchBoxing with Lasers” takes the typically passive experience of watching a laser light show and makes it a more engaging one with the help of a few vintage metal lunch boxes, according to a news release.

Guests of all ages can enter the darkened theater space, where they will see three different color lumia displays, each with their own set of controls. People are encouraged to step up to one of the three podiums topped with a lunch box and peer inside. Each lunch box contains three jewelshaped knobs, which control various aspects of each lumia.

The result is a laser light show created and controlled by museum guests.

The exhibit also has a musical element.

“I am so excited for the kids and kids-at-heart who are returning to MOXI to have something new to do and for them to be in control. While there’s a definite art to producing laser light shows, there’s also such beauty in letting the audience experiment and

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: JOHN W. COTTON aka JOHN COTTON Case Number: 21PR00239 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may be otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: JOHN W. COTTON aka JOHN COTTON A Petition for Probate has been filed by Monette Cotton in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Barbara| The Petition for Probate requests that MONETTE COTTON 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: 7/1/2021 Time: 9:00am in Dept.: 5, located at Superior Court of California, County of Santa Barbara, 1100 Anacapa St., P.O. Box 21107, Santa Barbara, CA 93101, 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: Andrew Miller Miller & Berryhill LLP Address: 1505 East Valley Road, Suite B Santa Barbara, CA 93108 Telephone: (805) 969-4451 JUN 5, 12, 19 / 2021 -- 57227
