Severe weather delays vaccines State official says allocations are equal to all counties By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

By ANNELISE HANSHAW

The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department vaccination sites did not have sufficient doses to vaccinate all people previously scheduled for Wednesday’s clinic in Santa Maria, resulting in the rescheduling of approximately 800 individuals. The delay was caused by severe weather conditions across the country, but a small allotment of 400 Moderna vaccine doses was still used to vaccinate 400 community members on Wednesday. According to the county’s public health officer, Dr. Henning Ansorg, the county was supposed to receive 3,800 Moderna doses Tuesday. “Some of the Pfizer doses were shipped; however, we do not know how many, because they get shipped to the hospitals directly,” Dr. Ansorg said in a statement to the News-Press Wednesday. “As of today, we do not have any news on when the vaccine will arrive. We had to cancel the county PODs (points of distribution) in Santa Maria (Wednesday), Lompoc for (today) and Santa Barbara on Friday.”

Our Lady of Guadalupe held seven Ash Wednesday services in its courtyard Wednesday afternoon. The church, at 227 N. Nopal St. in Santa Barbara, along with congregations around the world, adapted its traditions with COVID19 precautions. The Vatican encouraged congregations to sprinkle ashes on the crown of parishioners’ heads, an ancient practice. But some churches have tailored the act in other ways. Father Pedro Lopez, pastor of Our Lady of Guadalupe, chose to smudge a cross on congregants’ foreheads, as he does every year, but had them wipe their foreheads off with sterile alcohol pads beforehand. “A lot of the people like to be able to see the ashes on the forehead,” he told the News-Press. “The sign has value, and you can see it has importance.” He described the ashes as a “sign of repentance and wanting to be forgiven.” While administering the ashes he usually says, “Turn away from sin and believe in the Gospel.” But Wednesday, he said it before attendees lined up for the ashes, keeping them safe from any droplets that could catch the air as he spoke.

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh dies at 70 By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Rush Limbaugh, the man who many credit with helping transform talk radio and politics during his 30-plus years on the air, died Wednesday morning. He was 70. Mr. Limbaugh’s wife, Kathryn, announced her husband’s death on his radio show. “Losing a loved one is terribly difficult, even more so when that loved one is larger than life,” she said. “Rush will forever be the greatest of all time.” Mr. Limbaugh was considered a radio icon and a leader of the modern-day Republican Party.

He learned he had Stage IV lung cancer in January 2020, though the cause of death was not released on Wednesday. Young America’s Foundation, whose Reagan Ranch Center is located in downtown Santa Barbara, issued a statement on Facebook and referred to Mr. Limbaugh as “one of the Conservative Movement’s boldest voices.” “He worked tirelessly to spread the good news of conservatism to the masses, inspiring generations of freedom fighters,” the statement read. “Rest In Peace, Rush.” “The Rush Limbaugh Show” began in 1988 and was broadcast by local radio station KTMS —

told the News-Press by phone Wednesday. He added that he took many lessons from Mr. Limbaugh, including having the facts to back up your talking points, as well as the frequent use of humor. Mr. Worthen later said that he has known only four men in his life: Jesus, his father, the late Santa Barbara congressman Robert Lagomarsino and Mr. Limbaugh. “They all made me what I am today,” Mr. Worthen said. The news of Mr. Limbaugh’s death drew mixed reviews on social media. Some used the occasion to remember Mr. Please see limbaugh on A3

Members of Santa Barbara’s Historic Landmarks Commission are calling for a more traditional look for the new and improved De la Guerra Plaza. The commissioners weighed in on the project’s first concept review on Wednesday afternoon. Many comments focused on the period of significance for the plaza, which is considered to be 1853 to 1924. The commissioners are seeking a design that encapsulates that time period. “I don’t think the splash pad is of that period of time,” Commissioner Ed Lenvik said. “That’s my biggest disappointment — this seems to be a very contemporary plaza … To me, this design, this concept is not traditional in any way, shape or form.” He referred to the splash pad as “modern and unnecessary.” His fellow colleagues echoed his sentiments. “I don’t think I could be convinced in any way to agree to the splash pad,” Commissioner Wendy Edmunds said. “I’m a parent and a grandparent and it sounds like a nightmare to me … It just doesn’t fit and from a practical point of view, I just don’t think it’s a good idea.” She proposed a scenario of a family waiting outside restaurants or other places nearby and having children running around soaking wet from the splash pad.

HLC Chair Anthony Grumbine was the sole supporter of the splash pad, but he said it’s only because he has children himself. The commissioners agreed that they would accept a splash pad if it could disappear from view when not in use, but most hope to do away with it, saying the plaza is not a playground. The commissioners also came to consensus that the project design was too complex for a plaza. “Using my analogy of a baked potato, which I like to go to a lot, if you’re looking for a twice-baked potato, this one has been cooked four times,” Commissioner Robert Ooley said. “It needs to be, in my opinion, a much more random-feeling plaza. This is very organized, very linear and very grid-like, and it’s too formal.” Commissioners called for simplified paving patterns, art nodes and tree placement. They also requested more traditional trees for the plaza such as oak, sycamore or olive trees, versus the proposed yellow Palo Verde trees and pink Floss Silk trees. “I’m not sure that color in the trees is necessary in a traditional plaza. I’m not pleased with what I see, and I certainly wouldn’t want to have the designers walking away thinking they’ve got this thing nailed with this design, because I don’t think it is,” Commissioner Lenvik said. Commissioner Ooley added that the pavement for the plaza Please see plaza on A3

named after former News-Press Publisher Thomas M. Storke, though not affiliated with the News-Press. Local resident Jim Worthen considered himself a “close fan” of the late radio host, having called into Mr. Limbaugh’s show on several occasions over the years. Mr. Worthen also recalled seeing Mr. Limbaugh perform during “The Rush to Excellence” tour shows in Santa Maria and Santa Barbara. Mr. Worthen took part in a talk radio show himself for many years, including several years in which he followed Mr. Limbaugh on the air. “He was an inspiration to me and many others,” Mr. Worthen

All individuals with canceled appointments were notified and given the opportunity to reschedule the following week, and vaccination providers throughout the county were also notified of the delay. “The Public Health Department understands the critical nature of receiving the COVID-19 vaccine and will be working diligently to ensure all community members are rescheduled in a timely manner,” said Dr. Van Do-Reynoso, the county public health director. “These unforeseen circumstances will not deter Santa Barbara County in continuing to pursue its goal of vaccinating all community members who desire a vaccine.” This delay slows down what leading county health officials have referred to as an already slow-moving rollout process, despite the county having the adequate infrastructure for larger allocations of the vaccine. There has been discussion that Santa Barbara County has not received its fair share of vaccine doses compared to larger counties. However, Darrel Ng, a

Victim of fatal crash identified LOMPOC — The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department’s Coroner’s Bureau has identified the man who was killed in a single-vehicle rollover crash last week as 33-year-old Adalberto Zamora, of Lompoc. The crash occurred Thursday afternoon in the 4700 block of Harris Grade Road north of Rucker Road in the unincorporated area of Santa Barbara County. The vehicle was found on its roof Mr. Zamora died at the scene, authorities said. The California Highway Patrol is investigating the cause of the crash.

The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department confirmed 78 new COVID-19 cases Wednesday, which brings the county’s total to 31,067 cases. Officials deem 596 cases still infectious. Public Health also reported five deaths, increasing the cumulative deaths to 381. Four of the deceased were at least 70 years of age, and one was 50-69. All five had underlying health conditions, and one death was associated with an outbreak

Continued from Page A1 spokesperson for the California Department of Public Health, told the News-Press that it is indeed fair. He said there could be many reasons why Santa Barbara County’s rollout is slower than others such as Los Angeles and Orange counties. “I don’t know that I would agree with the premise that they got more first,” Mr. Ng said. “It just depends on the appetite of local health officials to move through the tiers.” He said that the state’s allocations to its 58 counties and three cities with local health departments, such as Berkeley, Long Beach and Pasadena, is based on the proportion of people eligible to receive the vaccine. At the very beginning, it was based

at a congregate living facility. Santa Barbara detected the most COVID-19 cases Wednesday, with 26 cases. It has a total of 5,718 cases, and 152 cases are active. Santa Maria counted 14 cases, bringing its total to 10,506 cases of which 135 are still infectious. Goleta confirmed nine cases. It has 1,612 total cases, and 39 are active. The following areas also reported COVID-19 cases Wednesday: the South County area containing Montecito, Summerland and the city of Carpinteria, five cases (1,246

total, 19 active); Isla Vista, five cases (1,174 total, 37 active); Orcutt, five cases (1,626 total, 32 active); the unincorporated area of the Goleta Valley and Gaviota, three cases (1,056 total, 19 active); the Santa Ynez Valley, three cases (912 total, 27 active); Lompoc, two cases (3,258 total, 80 active). The geographic locations of six daily cases are pending. Across Santa Barbara County, 104 COVID-19 patients are in hospitals, and 22 are in critical care. The county has 38.2% of its staffed ICU beds available. Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital

on how many health care workers were in each jurisdiction, and then it moved to the 65-and-older group. “Most people jumped straight to 65+. Most people didn’t do 75+,” Mr. Ng said. “It could’ve been that other counties look like they’re moving faster because it’s just 65+.” The state official added that there’s the possibility of Santa Barbara County’s rural areas causing a slower allocation. “In the general case, you see a lot of stories of there being health care worker shortages in rural areas. That may be why even in the earlier health care phase, it (Santa Barbara County) got less because there are fewer health care workers per capita,” he said. Looking ahead, Mr. Ng said the allocation methodology is going to change in the coming weeks to reflect population, but the state receives no guidance from the federal government past three

weeks ahead. “California gets a three-week snapshot of what the pie will look like, and California is getting about 1.1 million doses this week, and we expect supply to be about stable or perhaps ticking up very slightly over the next three weeks,” he said. Mr. Ng concluded that Santa Barbara County is not alone in its frustration. “Allocations are based on eligible populations, and the state is working with the federal government to increase the number of vaccines coming into the state so more can be sent to counties,” he said. “Every county, every state, every country wishes they had more vaccines.” Dr. Ansorg was asked to respond to these comments by the NewsPress, but he did not address them in his written statement. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

has 42 patients in isolation with COVID-19 symptoms, and seven are in critical care. Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital has 19 medical-surgical beds available, 11 ICU beds and 96 ventilators available. Two inmates at the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s jail and one staff member have contracted COVID-19. A total of 114 Sheriff’s Department employees have contracted the virus, and 106 have recovered and returned to work. There are 27 active cases in the county jail.

To take financial offerings, ushers held a basket on a long pole, gathering the money from a safe distance. Father Lopez’s message to the congregation acknowledged the strange realities of the pandemic. “Death is a reality. It’s been made very evident in what we’ve experienced in this past year. All of this can cause us to become depressed, anxious, to lose hope, to become angry and upset. But it is also an opportunity for us to become more aware of what truly matters,” he said during the service. Ash Wednesday is a traditional time to admit wrongdoing and begin Lent, a 40-day period of preparing oneself to celebrate Easter. The humbling message is poignant in a

pandemic. “In a time of anxiety and stress and worry, it’s important to make room for God. If you had not been doing that, it’s kind of a wake-up call,” Father Lopez told the NewsPress. He said the tradition is uplifting, especially this year. “It’s a sign that as a community we stand together, and there is hope,” he said. Last year’s Ash Wednesday, COVID-19 had not yet impacted his church. Since the onset of the pandemic locally, he hasn’t known what to expect at each service. “I’m not sure how many people will turn out (Wednesday). It’ll be interesting to see what kind of a crowd we get,” he said prior to the first service. “This year, we have no way of knowing.” During the bilingual program, the first of seven services, around 60 people observed Ash Wednesday. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

The same victim contacted the Sheriff’s Office in January reporting more stolen mail, but also had video surveillance of the suspect. A Sheriff’s deputy, Santa Barbara Police detectives, custody deputies and sheriff’s detectives investigated the mail theft and identified the subject as Mr. Coronado-Mendoza. The deputy authored a warrant for his arrest and for the search of his home in the 1200 block of Liberty Street in Santa Barbara. Santa Barbara Police also authored warrants for him on several fraud-related crimes. During a search of the residence, dozens of pieces of suspected stolen mail were recovered, with addresses ranging from the Santa Ynez Valley to Oxnard, Ms. Zick said. Sheriff’s deputies will continue to follow up on the case, including contacting potential victims identified by seized evidence.

Members of Santa Barbara’s Historic Landmarks Commission reviewed the concept design for revitalizing De la Guerra Plaza in downtown Santa Barbara. HLC members said they want it to be traditional and to accurately reflect the period of significance of the plaza.

plaza

Continued from Page A1 must be low- to no-maintenance, to ensure it’s not stained by flowers that fall from the trees or that people don’t slip on fallen flowers. Commissioner Edmunds said she wanted to keep the current grass lawn due to the lack of access many Santa Barbara residents have to a grassy lawn, but project staff said that with the grass lawn currently being used for Fiesta, it takes 10 to 12 weeks to recover the area, and poses a lot more maintenance and water usage. “I don’t know of any plaza that actually is a lawn plaza,” Commissioner Ooley said. “We have wonderful parks in the city that have huge expanses of lawn that could be used. I just see that lawn has constantly been an issue for Parks and Recreation to keep in a nice condition, and typically it’s in ugly condition.” However, the HLC said they hope to integrate a compass rose on the hardscape plaza, and other historic elements such as plaques to tie the history into it. Also included in the commission’s requests was more of a connection of De la Guerra Plaza to Casa De la Guerra, using matching paving patterns.

“Wouldn’t it be nice to have Casa De la Guerra reaching into De la Guerra Plaza in some way, shape or form? Create some real connection between the casa and the plaza, which rhetorically, it had originally 150 years ago, and I think that’s been ignored now,” Commissioner Lenvik said. The commissioners all supported raising the elevation of the road to meet the plaza. They tossed around ideas of potentially redesigning the stage looking at adobe that was originally there as a source of inspiration, implementing a fountain in the center and removing the splash pad and art nodes altogether, and they asked for a lighting strategy in the next concept review. Overall, the commissioners sang praises of the design, and Chair Grumbine said it allowed the HLC to give a good concept review. “The Plaza needs rejuvenation while maintaining its basic function as a village square,” Mayor Cathy Murillo told the News-Press, as the plaza sits right outside City Hall. “Our natural beauty enhances the area of course, but if you look closely, the sidewalks are patchwork and the lighting can be improved. I am particularly wanting to improve the lighting and to encourage a pedestrian-friendly design.”

James Joyce III, who is running for 2021 Santa Barbara mayor, told the News-Press, “It’s important to protect our open spaces, especially in downtown. I want to be innovative about how we use the space, while making sure that it continues to serve the community as it has for decades.” Deborah Schwartz, who is also running for mayor, said that with her experience as a planning commissioner, she sees this project as “a long-overdue effort to revitalize and reactivate the historic heart of our town center.” “The project subcommittee’s consensus purpose statement is: ‘De la Guerra Plaza celebrates and honors the historic heart of our city and provides the flexibility to serve our community’s diverse social, cultural, historic, economic and environmental vitality,’” Ms. Schwartz told the News-Press. “The open public process includes today’s Historic Landmarks Commission review of the design keeping in mind the five ‘vitalities’ identified by the subcommittee: Social, Cultural, Historical, Economic, Environmental.” The project planners will return to the HLC for a second concept review in the near future.

Balloon release planned for Lompoc prison inmates By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A balloon release will be held Sunday as part of an effort by advocacy groups and family members to raise awareness of the several COVID-19 outbreaks that have occurred inside the Lompoc Federal Correctional Complex. Participants will meet at 12:15 p.m. at Ryon Memorial Park, 800 W. Ocean Ave., Lompoc. Biodegradable balloons will be released, according to local media reports.

Limbaugh for his legacy and contributions, and others appeared to celebrate the death of the man who was both beloved and one of the most polarizing people in American media. The program that began 33 years ago on national syndication with only 56 radio stations grew to be the most listened-to radio show in the United States, airing on more than 600 stations, according to the show’s website. Up to 27 million people tuned in on a weekly basis, and Mr. Limbaugh has lovingly referred to his passionate fan base as “Dittoheads,” as they would often say “ditto” when agreeing with the iconic radio host. In his final radio broadcast of 2020, Mr. Limbaugh thanked his listeners and supporters, revealing at the time that he had outlived his prognosis. “I wasn’t expected to be alive today,” he said. “I wasn’t expected to make it to October, and then to November, and then to December. And yet, here I am, and today, got some problems, but I’m feeling pretty good today.”

Barbara County working group of the Latinx and Indigenous Migrant COVID-19 Response Task Force, and representatives from U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal’s office and local clergy. “The event is a reminder to those incarcerated at the Lompoc Federal Prison that they are not forgotten and to recognize those seven lives lost due to COVID-19,” Chrissie Rogers, a spokeswoman for Love Your Inmate, told the News-Press. In 2020, more than 1,200 inmates got COVID-19 as a result of the outbreak, and there were five COVID-related inmate deaths. The other two are under investigation. The outbreak resulted in a federal class-action lawsuit by

the American Civil Liberties Union, which alleged that certain employees of the prison complex mishandled the COVID-19 outbreak response. “We are approaching the oneyear anniversary of the state shutdown, and we are still fighting for their Eighth Amendment rights,” Ms. Rogers said. “We are still no closer today then we were a year ago with releases of those who qualify but continue to fight and be their voice.” Speakers from the community will offer messages at 12:45 p.m., and the balloon release will take place at 1.

Following his cancer diagnosis, Mr. Limbaugh was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by then-President Donald Trump at the State of the Union address. Former first lady Melania Trump presented Mr. Limbaugh with America’s highest civilian honor in an emotional moment that came following the devastating cancer diagnosis. During the address, Mr. Trump thanked Mr. Limbaugh for his “decades of tireless devotion” to the United States. Mr. Trump released a statement on Wednesday, saying that Mr. Limbaugh went to “a better place, free from physical pain and hostility.” “His honor, courage, strength, and loyalty will never be replaced,” Mr. Trump said. “Rush was a patriot, a defender of Liberty and someone who believed in all of the greatness our Country stands for. “Rush was a friend to myself and millions of Americans — a guiding light with the ability to see truth and paint vivid pictures over the airwaves.” Former Vice President Mike Pence referred to the late Mr. Limbaugh as “a Giant” and sent his sympathies to the Limbaugh family

and “the millions of Americans who loved and cherished his incomparable voice.” Former President George W. Bush also issued a statement on Mr. Limbaugh’s passing, calling him “an indomitable spirit with a big heart.” “As he battled hearing loss and cancer late in life, he was sustained by the support of friends and family, his love of sports and rock and roll, and his belief in God and country. While he was brash, at times controversial and always opinionated, he spoke his mind as a voice for millions of Americans and approached each day with gusto,” the statement read. Mr. Limbaugh was eventually enshrined in the Radio Hall of Fame and the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame. He was a five-time winner of the National Association of Broadcasters Marconi Award for “Excellence in Syndicated and Network Broadcasting,” a No. 1 New York Times bestselling author and was named one of Barbara Walters’ 10 Most Fascinating People in 2008 and one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2009.

Lion’s mane mushroom This mushroom variety possesses a cloud-like appearance, resembling that of a white cauliflower top. Grown by both Wolfe Family Farm and Golden State Papaya, it has become one of my new favorites. It’s the perfect balance of soft and meaty. I find lion’s mane mushroom is best when cooked at high heat in a pan, perfectly searing both sides before serving. This week I prepared seared lion’s mane mushrooms with sprouted cauliflower, the Fix of the Week on A5. A true delicacy, this is a very fun farmers’ market find. The price ranges from $10 to $15 per half-pound.

This shot by Sharon Green was taken from a helicopter. To get the right angle, Ms. Green will often lean out the sides of helicopters to capture shots of sailing events. Tonight, the photographer will give a virtual talk, presented by the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum.

Making a splash

Sprouted cauliflower I have had a good number of customers asking me about this slightly different cauliflower lately. Rather than being dominated by a compact floret at the top end, sprouted cauliflower is more of a balance of stem and floret. Texturally, sprouted cauliflower is slightly crunchier than its counterpart, delivering a little more nuttiness and sweetness from the extra stem portion. Also referred to as “flowering” cauliflower, it is the result of overgrown heads or a secondary growth from buds located in the bases of the older leaves. Currently you can find it in white, orange and purple varieties at all weekly Santa Barbara certified farmers’ markets. The price averages $3 per head.

Sharon Green to present ultimate sailing photography in virtual event By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

S COURTESY PHOTO

Sharon Green, an ultimate sailing photographer, grew up around sailing thanks to her father. Because she came from a sailing background, Ms. Green said taking photos of sailing events came easily to her.

haron Green’s photography career has taken her to new heights and depths. Literally. Specializing in ultimate sailing photography for more than four decades, Ms. Green has hung out of the sides of helicopters and sailed far out to sea to capture stunning images of sailing races. Her photography has awed thousands of viewers through the release of her annual Ultimate Sailing Calendar, showcasing some of her best images over the years.

Ms. Green will present some of her favorite photographs during a virtual event with the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum this evening at 7. During the program, Ms. Green will share about her journey as a photographer, tell stories from her favorite events and explain what it was like shifting from film to digital photography. From a young age, Ms. Green grew up surrounded by both sailing and photography. Her father, an avid sailor, sailed around the entire world when he was just 18. He documented the trip with both movie and still cameras, and Ms. Green told the News-Press that

those photos sparked her early fascination with photography. When she picked up a camera in high school, she fell in love with developing her film images in the darkroom. A native of Canada, Ms. Green had initially enrolled in a photojournalism class in high school because it would count as an English credit on her college application. But instead of just filling a space on her transcript, the photo class propelled Ms. Green into a lifelong passion for photography. With dreams of becoming the next Ansell Adams, Ms. Green began practicing landscape

Tatsoi This winter vegetable is related to and closely resembles that of the more common bok choy. It’s an excellent addition to Asianstyle stir-fry dishes and has crisp stems and a tender leafy base. I like to add tatsoi to the sauté pan for just a minute or two and then serve it with cooked fish dishes. It’s grown, harvested and sold by Her Family Farm and Moua Family Farm and is available at the weekly Saturday Santa Barbara and Sunday Camino Real farmers’ markets. The price is $3 per bag.

She began taking photos of boats one summer and realized she had a natural eye for capturing color and composition. “I was terrible at being an Answell Adams photographer, but I was good at taking pictures of color and sailing,” Ms. Green told the News-Press. “I found that because I’m a sailor, sailing photography came easily. I thought the composition came easily because I understood sailing.” Though her career in sailing photography began humbly, Ms. Please see sailing on A5

sailing

Continued from Page A4 Green’s natural talent afforded her opportunities to shoot at some of the most prestigious sailing events around the world, including the America’s Cup, the pinnacle event in yacht racing. Even as a 19-year-old, Ms. Green was jetting off to sailing events all around the world at every chance she got, spending her university spring breaks photographing racing events. Her stunning images capture sailboats in the heat of races, with waves crashing around their sales and sailors scrambling to steer the boat on the race path. Since her start in photography, Ms. Green has become a master in aerial photography, leaning out of the sides of helicopters to capture breathtaking shots. The first time she attempted aerial photography was with a colleague at the Rhode Island America’s Cup a number of years ago. The jolting experience showed Ms. Green a new method for capturing stunning images of sailing, and she hasn’t stopped since. Just like so many other events during the pandemic, many sailing events have been canceled. For Ms. Green, the pandemic has been very challenging. With the majority of sailing events canceled through this spring, almost all of her previous contracted gigs have evaporated. Aside from shooting a few sailing events in Santa Barbara and Rhode Island back in September and October, Ms. Green has been waiting for the world to reopen again so she can get back to her passion. During the pandemic, she spent time searching through her archives and reliving memories of past events. But she said that at this point, she’s ready to “get back out there and do some work.” “I’m kind of tired of the trip down memory lane at this point and ready to move on to something else.”

occasionally get approached by one of our customers holding a baggie in hand with an unidentified mushroom inside. Sometimes customers tell me it was encountered on a walk around their neighborhood, and other times, it was growing out of the compost pile or beneath a tree in their backyard. Most commonly they say it was a specimen found while on a hike on one of our local trails, and they wonder whether it was suitable for consumption. I do tend to generally give a quick word of advice, though. Never eat a mushroom that can’t be identified by you or those who know their way around the world of mushrooms. When cooking mushrooms at home, my general method is to get the pan super hot, add some olive oil and sear away, just a couple of minutes on each side. Add some garlic, seasoning, green onion, shallots or whatever natural flavoring agent you may prefer. Mushrooms generally tend to soak up the flavoring agents around it so make sure to minimally salt, then add more later if needed to taste. This week I prepared seared sliced lion’s mane mushrooms with flowering cauliflower, making sure to infuse with a hearty amount of garlic.

“Do exactly what you would do if you felt most secure.” — Meister Eckhart

'LIILFXOW\ /HYHO

&RQFHSWLV 3X]]OHV 'LVW E\ .LQJ )HDWXUHV 6\QGLFDWH ,QF

ARIES — Some rather depressing information could come to you today from far away, Aries. This is less likely to be about your immediate situation or circle of friends than it is about something social or political in nature. It’s probably the subject of a lot of talk around you. You might need to run some errands in your community, but for some reason you can’t. Relax. Tomorrow should be fine. TAURUS — You’ve been working hard to improve your financial situation, Taurus. You might be on the verge of attaining what you want, but temporary obstacles could get in your way. You could be in a bit of a panic, wondering if this means you will never get where you want to be. Don’t worry. That isn’t the case. You just need to assess the situation and figure out what to do to get over this hurdle. GEMINI — A partner might be feeling rather down and need you to cheer him or her up, Gemini. Too many social invitations could come your way today. You may have to turn one of them down. You may not be in the mood for socializing and need to be alone to organize your thoughts. One of the events could be business related and you may feel obligated to go. Put in an appearance. Don’t feel compelled to stay long. CANCER — Today you might enjoy planning to have some visitors stay with you for a while, Cancer. Worry about developments on the job or unfinished chores of your own might have you feeling a bit stressed and under the weather. You need to look at your situation objectively. It isn’t all that bad, just something that needs to be done. Get it handled and then reward yourself somehow. LEO — A friend could be depressed and need your advice, Leo. Some long-held, cherished goals that you’ve been working toward could be temporarily blocked, causing you to wonder if they will ever come to fruition. Don’t waste any time lapsing into negative thoughts. Assess what needs doing and do it. This is only a temporary situation. You will get through it, but it’s up to you how quickly. VIRGO — Some professional colleagues might be coming to visit, Virgo, and you may not be looking forward to it. You could be worried. How will it go? Will you make a good impression? Don’t drive yourself crazy. It will be fine. Family members should be doing well regarding their +*#!2 +1$)"$ responsibilities, although you might be a bit worried about them today. Relax. All is going to go very well.

%\ 'DYH *UHHQ

HOROSCOPE LIBRA — Today you might need to run some errands, Libra, but they might prove difficult for a number of reasons. The errands could be personal or business related. Communication may be temporarily blocked. Messages may not be delivered or you could be playing phone tag. On days like this, you need to make a special effort to keep cool. Nothing is so important that you have to drive yourself crazy. SCORPIO — You might reflect on recent successes in business and money and suddenly feel a strong sense of gloom, wondering if it’s going to continue. Don’t panic, Scorpio. It isn’t a vision of the future. It’s only a temporary feeling. Work it off through exercise or throw yourself into a task. Meditation could also help. Get the endorphins going and your optimism and enthusiasm should return. SAGITTARIUS — Work that could advance you professionally could take you away from loved ones, Sagittarius, and cause some emotional tension. You might feel down because you’d rather be with your loved ones but feel it’s important to move ahead now. Try to make up for it with some quality time. It’s crucial to make the most of the current planetary positions. Everyone will be glad when you see results. CAPRICORN — A task, perhaps job related or perhaps one of your own, might prove weightier than you expected. You’re working too hard and you could be feeling tired and dejected, Capricorn. Exactly how crucial is it to get this done right now? If it isn’t vital, get as much done as you can without compromising your well-being. Do the rest tomorrow. The world won’t end if you take another day. AQUARIUS — Someone, perhaps a person involved with a group you’re in, may ask you to help in some way today. You probably don’t want to do it, Aquarius, possibly because you have plans. Don’t be afraid to say no. Your creative energy should be high and your imagination working overtime, but other responsibilities interfere with your doing anything about it now. Note your ideas and come back to them later. PISCES — Career developments could look promising now, Pisces, and you might be in a hurry to finish whatever needs to be done. But responsibilities to home and family might interfere. For some reason, you might have to stay home. Perhaps you experienced some intense dreams that you feel are significant but you can’t remember them. If you stop trying to remember, they may come back to you.

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.

Location: Individual project locations and specific addresses are not known at this time, but will be located in the California counties identified in Table 1 above. A second level of site-specific review will be completed as each address becomes known (Tier 2). Project/Program Description: The OOR Program will provide grants to owner-occupied homeowners to rehabilitate or reconstruct homes damaged or destroyed in the October 2017 and December 2017 disasters. The program will also provide funding for impacted homeowners to replace their damaged or destroyed mobile home or manufactured housing unit (MHU). A reconstructed home is the rebuilding of a structure on the same site in substantially the same footprint and manner. If an MHU homeowner is not able to replace their MHU on its original site location, the MHU homeowner will be allowed to relocate within the counties identified in Table 1 above to a previously developed location already prepared for a MHU with existing utility connections. The program will provide rehabilitation or reconstruction assistance to eligible applicants based on the extent of damage to their primary residences. Program activities may include environmental remediation, permitting, design, construction, site preparation, and lead-based paint and/or asbestos abatement. Tier 2 site specific reviews will be completed for those laws and authorities not addressed in the Tier 1 broad review for each address under this program when addresses become known.

Scott D. McGolpin Director of Public Works FEB 18 / 2021 -- 56817

Tier 2 Site Specific Review: The site specific reviews will cover the following laws and authorities not addressed in the Tier 1 broad review: Airport Hazards (24 CFR Part 51 Subpart D); Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 and National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 (42 USC 40014128 and 42 USC 5154a); Coastal Zone Management Act (Sections 307(c) and (d)); Contamination and Toxic Substances (24 CFR Part 50.3 (i) and 58.5 (i)(2)); Endangered Species Act of 1973, particularly Section 7 (50 CFR Part 402); Floodplain Management (Executive Order 11988, particularly Section 2(a); 24 CFR Part 55); National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (Sections 106 and 110; 36 CFR Part 800); Noise Control Act of 1972, as amended by the Quiet Communities Act of 1978 (24 CFR Part 51 Subpart B); Wetlands Protection Executive Order 11990, particularly Sections 2 and 5; Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968, particularly Section 7 (b) and (c); and Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974, as amended particularly Section 1424(e) (40 CFR Part 149). Mitigation Measures/Conditions/Permits (if any): Compliance with various laws, authorities, and written strategies will be documented and listed in the Tier 2 Site-Specific review project file and if required mitigation measures/conditions must be incorporated into project contracts and/or permits, development agreements, and other relevant documents will be obtained from the issuing governmental agency.

ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION: HCD certifies to HUD that Janice L. Waddell, Certifying Officer, in her capacity as Branch Chief, Federal Programs consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows HCD to use HUD program funds. OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS: HUD will accept objections to its release of fund and HCD’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the HCD; (b) HCD has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted via email in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to CDP San Francisco Field Office at email diasaster_recovery@hud.gov.

Ubicación: Las ubicaciones individuales del proyecto y direcciones específicas no se conocen en este momento, pero se encontrarán ubicadas en los condados de California identificados en la Tabla 1 más arriba. Se llevará a cabo una revisión de segundo nivel específica del sitio a medida que se conozca cada una de las direcciones (Nivel 2). Descripción del Proyecto/Programa: El Programa OOR otorgará subsidios a propietarios que estén ocupando las viviendas para rehabilitar o reconstruir hogares dañados o destruidos en los desastres de octubre 2017 y diciembre 2017. El programa también proporcionará fondos para que los propietarios que hayan sufrido impactos reemplacen su vivienda móvil o unidad de vivienda fabricada (MHU, en inglés) que fue dañada o destruida. Una vivienda reconstruida es la restauración de una estructura en el mismo sitio con la sustancialmente misma huella y método. Si un propietario de una MHU no puede reemplazar su MHU en su ubicación original, se le permitirá al propietario reubicarse dentro de los condados identificados anteriormente en la Tabla 1 a una ubicación desarrollada anteriormente preparada para una MHU con las conexiones de servicios públicos existentes. El programa proporcionará asistencia de rehabilitación o reconstrucción a los solicitantes elegibles en base al alcance del daño a sus residencias primarias. Las actividades del programa podrán incluir reparaciones ambientales, permisos, diseño, construcción, preparación del sitio y la reducción de pintura a base de plomo y/o asbestos. Las revisiones específicas del sitio de Nivel 2 serán completadas para aquellas leyes y autoridades no tratadas en la revisión amplia de Nivel 1 para cada dirección bajo este programa cuando se conozcan las direcciones. Nivel de Citación de Revisión Ambiental: Título 24 del CFR (Código de Regulaciones Federales) Parte 58.35(a)(3)(i) Revisión Específica del Sitio Nivel 2: Las revisiones específicas del sitio cubrirán las siguientes leyes y autoridades no tratadas en la revisión amplia de Nivel 1: Peligros de Aeropuertos (Título 24 del CFR Parte 51 Subparte D); Ley de Protección de Desastres por Inundaciones de 1973 y Ley de Reforma del Seguro Nacional Contra Inundaciones de 1994 (Título 42 del USC 4001-4128 y Título 42 USC 5154a); Ley de Administración de zonas Costeras (Secciones 307(c) y (d)); Contaminación y Sustancias Tóxicas (Título 24 del CFR Parte 50.3 (i) y 58.5 (i)(2)); Ley de Especies en Peligro de 1973, particularmente la Sección 7 (Título 50 del CFR Parte 402); Administración de la Llanura Aluvial (Orden Ejecutiva 11988, particularmente la Sección 2(a); Título 24 del CFR Parte 55); Ley de Conservación Histórica Nacional de 1966 (Secciones 106 y 110; Título 36 del CFR Parte 800); Ley de Control de Ruido de 1972, según enmienda de la Ley de Comunidades Silenciosas de 1978 (Título 24 del CFR Parte 51 Subparte B); Orden Ejecutiva de Protección de Humedales 11990, particularmente las Secciones 2 y 5; Ley de Ríos y Naturaleza Escénica de 1968, particularmente la Sección 7 (b) y (c); y la Ley de Agua Potable Segura de 1974, según enmienda, particularmente la Sección 1424(e) (Título 40 del CFR Parte 149). Medidas de Mitigación/Condiciones/Permisos (si hay): El cumplimiento con las diversas leyes, autoridades y estrategias escritas serán documentadas y enumeradas en el archivo de revisión de proyecto Específica del Sitio de Nivel 2 y si se requieren medidas/condiciones de mitigación se deberán incorporarse a los contratos y/o permisos, acuerdos de desarrollo y otros documentos relevantes del proyecto y se obtendrán de la agencia gubernamental que los emita. Costo estimado del proyecto: $47,627,648 La/s actividad/es propuestas se encuentran excluidas de manera categórica en los requerimientos del Título 24 del CFR Parte 58 de la Ley de Política Ambiental Nacional (NEPA, en inglés) de acuerdo con el Título 24 del CFR Parte 58.35(a)(3)(i). Existe información adicional del proyecto en el Registro Ambiental de Revisión (ERR por sus siglas en inglés). El ERR será puesto a disposición del público para revisión ya sea de manera electrónica o mediante correo de los Estados Unidos. Por favor presente su solicitud por correo de los Estados Unidos al California Department of Housing and Community Development, 2020 West El Camino Ave., Suite 200, Sacramento, CA 95833 o por correo electrónico a DR-Enviro@hcd.ca.gov. El ERR puede verse en línea en el siguiente sitio web: https://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/disasterrecovery-programs/cdbg-dr/cdbg-dr-2017/index.shtml. COMENTARIOS PÚBLICOS: Cualquier persona, grupo o agencia podrá presentar comentarios escritos del ERR a Joseph Helo, ReCoverCA Program Manager, California Department of Housing and Community Development, 2020 West El Camino Ave., Suite 200, Sacramento, CA 95833 o por correo electrónico a DR-Enviro@hcd.ca.gov. Todos los comentarios recibidos al 26 de febrero de 2021 serán considerados por el HCD antes de autorizar la presentación de una solicitud para liberar los fondos. CERTIFICACIÓN AMBIENTAL: HCD le certifica a HUD que Janice L. Waddell, Funcionaria Certificante, en su capacidad como Jefa de Sucursal, Programas Federales presta consentimiento para aceptar la competencia de los Tribunales Federales si se presenta una acción para exigir las responsabilidades en relación con el proceso de revisión ambiental y que dichas responsabilidades han sido cumplidas. La aprobación por parte del HUD de la certificación cumple sus responsabilidades de acuerdo con NEPA y las leyes y autoridades relacionadas y permite al HCD usar fondos del programa del HUD. OBJECIONES A LA LIBERACIÓN DE FONDOS: HUD aceptará las objeciones para liberar los fondos y a la certificación del HCD por un período de quince días luego de la fecha anticipada de la presentación o su recepción de la solicitud (la que sea más tarde) solo si existe uno de los siguientes fundamentos: (a) la certificación no fue firmada por el Funcionario Certificante del HCD; (b) el HCD ha omitido un paso o no ha tomado una decisión o conclusión requerida por las regulaciones del HUD detalladas en el Título 24 del CFR parte 58; (c) el receptor del subsidio u otros participantes en el proceso de desarrollo han comprometido fondos, incurrido en costos o llevado a cabo actividades no autorizadas por el Título 24 del CFR Parte 58 antes de la aprobación de la liberación de fondos por parte del HUD; u (d) otra agencia federal que actúa de acuerdo con el Título 40 del CFR Parte 1504 ha presentado una conclusión escrita de que el proyecto no es satisfactorio desde el punto de vista de calidad ambiental. Las objeciones deben prepararse y presentarse vía correo electrónico de acuerdo con los procedimientos requeridos (Título 24 del CFR Parte 58, Sec. 58.76) y deben estar dirigidas a la Oficina de Campo CDP de San Francisco al correo diasaster_recovery@hud.gov. Los potenciales objetores deberán contactar a HUD vía correo electrónico para verificar el último día real del período de objeción.

Gaucho basketball games to be televised by ESPNU and ESPN2 By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Sophomore Josh Pierre-Louis has given the UCSB men’s basketball team a literal lift off the bench this season. The Gauchos will return to the Thunderdome on Friday at 8 p.m. to face Cal State Bakersfield in a game that will be televised on ESPNU.

UCSB’s streaking men’s basketball team, which will seek to tie a 32-year-old school record on Friday when it goes for its 11th straight win, is getting some national attention from the television networks and at least one national poll voter. ESPN is putting two of the Gauchos’ games on its main platform. Friday’s home contest against Cal State Bakersfield will be aired on ESPNU while the Feb. 26 game at UC Riverside will be carried by ESPN2. Both games have had their start times moved back to 8 p.m. UCSB (14-3, 8-2 Big West Conference) received a vote in the Associated Press sportswriters and broadcasters poll for the first time since opening the 1988-89 season with a 15-1 record. Although ESPN, USA Today and CBS Sports all show the Gauchos with two points in this week’s ranking, the Associated Press website lists only one. The Gauchos are also ranked No. 20 in this week’s CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25. UCSB coach Joe Pasternack sought to keep the TV appearances and ratings upgrades from affecting his team when he addressed the situation during practice this week. “I told them that a lot of things are never as good as they seem and never as bad as they seem,” he said. “Although we’ve had some wins, the reality is that a couple of them could’ve gone either way. We have to figure out why that is and fix it. “Our biggest test of the season is on Friday.” WOMEN’S BASKETBALL WESTMONT 64, VANGUARD 45 Stefanie Berberabe scored 28

points to lead the fourth-ranked Warriors to their win at No. 12 Vanguard on Tuesday. Her play helped Westmont (6-1, 3-0 Golden State Athletic Conference) overcome a slow start in which it trailed the Lions (5-2, 2-2) 17-8 late in the first quarter. Vanguard still led 34-31 before the Warriors went on a 10-0 run to take command of the game. Berberabe had five assists and four rebounds to go with her 28 points. Iyree Jarrett added 15 points. Westmont would secure an automatic berth to the NAIA National Tournament by winning either of this weekend’s home games against Vanguard. Both Friday and Saturday’s contests will tip off at 4:30 p.m. Although spectators are not allowed, the games can be viewed by accessing Westmont’s athletic website at athletics.westmont.edu. WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL WESTMONT 3, VANGUARD 0 Fourth-ranked Westmont College, which hadn’t played a women’s volleyball match in more than three weeks, showed little rust while sweeping Vanguard 25-21, 2519, 25-17 in its Golden State Athletic Conference opener at Murchison Gym on Tuesday. “It was exciting to be back in Murchison Gym after 451 days (since Westmont’s last home game),” coach Ruth McGolpin said. “The team was super-focused yesterday in practice and continued to be focused in the match. “Obviously, there are lots of things we need to work on.

BELL, H. Hampton

H. Hampton Bell, a longtime resident of Montecito, CA, passed away on 1/12/21, at the age of 96 years. He was a beloved son, husband, father, brother, uncle and friend. He was born in New Jersey to John and Miriam Bell, the middle child between his brother John, Jr. and sister Miriam. His father was a WWI veteran who used his war bonus to take his children on a trip to Norfolk, VA. There Hampton was able to see the new aircraft carrier USS Lexington, of future WWII fame. His father was able to keep working during the Depression and Hampton always said they were thankful for having enough, even if it was a simple life. World War II interrupted Hampton’s studies at Rutgers University when he was drafted into the Army where he was initially trained as a meteorological assistant. He was one of the ÀUVW SHRSOH WR HYHU GULYH WR $ODVND ZKHUH KH VHUYHG WKH UHVW RI WKH :DU LQ WKH $OHXWLDQ ,VODQGV KDYLQJ ÀQDOO\ EHHQ WUDLQHG WR ZRUN DV DQ $LU 7UDIÀF &RQWUROOHU DQG ULVLQJ WR the rank of Staff Sargeant. After the War, he used his GI Bill to return to Rutgers and earn a B.S. degree in Agriculture. After graduating and securing work with the Farm Bureau in Bucks County, PA, he was contacted and invited by his mother’s longtime pen pal, to have a home cooked meal. The pen pal had worked as a nurse for the Aspden family, and introduced Hampton to them. That is how he met the great love of his life, Mary Ellen Aspden. They were married a few months later, settling in Carversville, PA, where theyset up a modernized chicken farm. Their eggs were of such high quality that the former Vice President Henry Wallace contracted with Hampton to supply eggs for Mr. Wallace’s vaccination manufacturing business. Hampton and Mary Ellen adopted many cutting edge techniques that used new electrically powered devices, and they were featured in a regional periodical as a result. They soon thereafter welcomed their sons Tommie and Bruce to the family, although Tommie did not survive infancy. As a child, Bruce was watched over by the champion Rough Collies that Mary Ellen raised and showed. Hampton and Mary Ellen moved to Asheville, North Carolina where Hampton was soon invited to become a partner in opening a retail and landscaping nursery. After retiring from his second successful business, the Bell family moved to Montecito, CA in 1975 for Bruce’s health and to allow Mary Ellen to more easily show her Rough Collies, which she did with great success. Hampton’s love of horticulture led him to develop and maintain a fruit tree orchard, build a greenhouse for his many varieties of orchids, and landscape beautiful gardens on their 1.5 acre property. He also enjoyed jogging and tennis. In his 70s, he transitioned to riding a bicycle and actively maintained his health. He co-authored a book of poetry with his sister Miriam and published another of his own. He was a docent for many years at the Lotusland gardens. He was instrumental in revitalizing The Garden Club in Montecito, where he organized a scholarship for the Horticultural Department at Santa Barbara City College that continues to this day. Hampton was a gentleman by every sense of the word. He was kind and loving to everyone he met; welcoming family, friends, gardeners, and caregivers into his circle of loved ones. He enjoyed time spent in conversation and laughter, was generous & giving, and valued the simpler things in life. He held court every Saturday at the Summerland Beach Cafe, where he had the high honor of once being served ice cream, a rare off-off menu item. A picture of Banny, their last dog, a Bichon Frise hangs there today, next to many famous celebrity visitors. Hampton stayed mentally active into his 90s, accompanying school children to view aircraft of WWII where he spoke to them of his experiences in the War, and of his times seeing Civil War veterans, Winston Churchill outside #10,and visiting China and the Soviet Union. Keeping up with the latest trends, Hampton even took a ride in a self-driving Model X! His active spirit kept him vibrant. After several years of tender caregiving, he passed away on 13 Jan 2021. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He was predeceased by Mary Ellen, Tommie, and Bruce, and is survived by Miriam (Bell) Waterhouse and nephews of both the Bell and Aspden families. ,Q OLHX RI ÁRZHUV WKH IDPLO\ UHTXHVWV donations be sent to the Scholarship Fund c/o: Santa Barbara Garden Club PO Box 91432 Santa Barbara CA 93190

Brooklynn Cheney led in digs with 18. Westmont (4-0) out-hit Vanguard (3-2) .186 to .084. “The people who stuck out to me were Lexi Malone, Patty Kerman and Madison Morrison,” McGolpin said. “Patty was hitting the seams and throwing the dip tips. Lexi was utilizing her angles for attacking. “Maddy orchestrated the defense well. It is so nice to see things you worked on in practice come to fruition.” The Warriors and Lions will play again tonight at 7 o’clock in Costa Mesa.
