Kerri Murray, president of Santa Barbara-based ShelterBox USA, left, talks at the Przemysl train station in Poland with a woman who drove from France to Poland to help Ukrainian refugees. The station is a short distance from Poland’s border with Ukraine, and Ms. Murray said this woman ended up giving rides to four refugees.

Santa Barbara County has the fourth-lowest gun-related death rate compared to other midsize counties in the U.S., according to a new report from BackgroundChecks.org. The report found Santa Barbara County had 4.5 gunrelated deaths for every 100,000 residents in 2020. Only Richmond County, New York; Monmouth County, New Jersey; and Ocean County, New Jersey, had lower rates, according to the report. Santa Barbara Interim Police Chief Bernard Melekian said he was “a little surprised” by the overall ranking given some of the crime in the northern part of the county. But he said the city and county were both “very aggressive with following up on crime.” “If law enforcement moves quickly and does aggressive follow-up and makes arrests and demonstrates that the agency is concerned with the victims, it breaks the retaliatory violence cycle,” Chief Melekian told the

Julia traveled five days with her 10-year-old son, leaving everything behind in Ukraine. “The worst part was she was forced to leave her 22-year-old son behind. He had to stay (to fight Russia),” Kerri Murray, president of Santa Barbara-based ShelterBox USA, told the NewsPress Wednesday by phone from Krakow, Poland. Ms. Murray met Julia, whose last name isn’t being published to protect her son still in Ukraine, at the Przemysl train station, which is eight miles from Poland’s border

with Ukraine. “I said to her, ‘What is your biggest need right now?’ ” Ms. Murray recalled. “She said, ‘A place to stay. I also need a shower. I don’t know which one I need first. We have no idea where to go.’ “These families are being ripped apart,” Ms. Murray said. “They don’t know if or when they can go home. They’ve left their family members. They’ve shown up at the train station. “But what you would think would be a chaotic situation is unbelievably calm, unbelievably coordinated,” Ms. Murray said. “The Polish citizens are all amazing, providing hot meals at

the station, providing sim cards, providing rides.” People with good hearts in Poland are helping Ukranians. Ms. Murray, a Santa Barbara area resident, saw that firsthand as she encountered volunteers coming to the train station with signs offering rides for refugees: “I can take three women, two children, can take four people.” “I met this woman who was from France, who drove 20 hours to the train station,” Ms. Murray told the News-Press. “She started talking with a group of women. By the end of the conversation, she was taking four women with her — two to Munich and two of them home to

live with her. “You see this overwhelming outpouring of support,” Ms. Murray said. She stressed the need for humanitarian aid. “It’s a heart-breaking crisis,” she said. “It’s the fastest growing refugee crisis in Europe since World War II. People need food, water, shelter, access to medical care.” “When I showed up (at the train station), there were thousands of people,” Ms. Murray said. “Mostly what I saw were women.

When U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal visited Ukraine in December as part of a bipartisan delegation, he met with military and government officials who said they would not back down from what was then just a possible Russian invasion. And that’s exactly what has happened, Rep. Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, told the News-Press, calling the Ukrainians’ resolve “admirable.” Rep. Carbajal, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, praised President Joe Biden’s ban on Russian oil, as well as other economic sanctions, in the wake of Russia’s attack on Ukraine. He said he’s confident the sanctions imposed by the U.S. and European nations will work to decimate the Russian economy and topple the ruble.

“The more time goes by, the more the (Russian) economy will suffer. (Russian President Vladimir) Putin and his oligarchs will be isolated,” the congressman said. “They are seeing their president run amuck in an unprovoked aggression toward Ukraine. The Russian people do not want to see their men and women come back in body bags, and that’s exactly what’s happening.” U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency Director Scott Berrier recently estimated between 2,000 to 4,000 Russian troops have invaded Ukraine since President Putin launched the war. Rep. Carbajal warned there is still work to be done. He said the U.S. has more than 100,000 troops in Europe that are being repositioned — a clear Please see SANCTIONS on A4

News-Press. “The city police and the (county) Sheriff’s Office do a very good job on following up.” Chief Melekian said Santa Barbara saw three gun-related homicides within the first two months of 2021. But arrests were quickly made, and there were no more gun-related deaths last year. According to the BackgroundChecks.org report, Santa Barbara County reported 20 gun-related deaths in 2020, and 52% of all homicides involved firearms. Additionally, 31.7% of all suicides in 2020 involved a gun, the report said. Among the midsize counties, Orleans Parish, Louisiana; the city of Baltimore, Maryland; Jackson County, Missouri; Jefferson County, Alabama; and Pulaski County, Arkansas, had the highest gun-related death rates in 2020. In California, Solano County had the highest gun-related death rate among midsize counties with a rate of 12.3 for every 100,000 residents. It came in at No. 56.

Newsom, California lawmakers promise relief amid record high gas prices By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER

(The Center Square) — As California’s gas prices continue to skyrocket to record-breaking levels, Gov. Gavin Newsom and lawmakers are vowing to bring consumers relief at the pump through tax rebates. California’s average price for a gallon of gas reached a record-high of $5.57 Wednesday, shattering the previous day’s record by 13 cents, according to the American Automobile Association. Nationwide, the average price for a gallon of gas reached $4.25 Wednesday. With residents feeling the impact of rising gas prices on their wallets, Gov. Newsom announced during his State of the State Address on Tuesday that he plans to introduce a proposal to “put money back into the pockets of Californians.” While the governor did not elaborate on details during his address, a spokesperson for the Governor’s Office told The Center Square in an email that the relief will come in the form of a tax rebate. “We are looking to move quickly on this,” the spokesperson said. “The governor is focused on providing billions in relief to Californians who are suffering from rising gas prices across the country due to the ongoing situation in Russia.” In response to Gov. Newsom’s announcement, Senate President pro Tempore Toni

Atkins and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon said in a joint statement Tuesday that the State Legislature will work to provide “substantial relief” to families by tapping into the state’s General Fund to deliver tax rebates. “Californians are rightfully upset at the skyrocketing cost of fuel,” Sen. Atkins and Assemblyman Rendon said. “The Legislature will put the state’s robust revenue growth to work by returning substantial tax relief to families and small businesses as fast as possible.” Sen. Atkins and Assemblyman Rendon noted that using General Fund money would provide greater relief than a modest slash to the gas tax — referring to a measure Gov.

EPA reinstates California’s ability to set emissions standards By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF-WRITER

The Environmental Protection Agency officially reinstated California’s ability to impose its own, more stringent greenhouse gas emission standards and vehicle emissions regulations Wednesday. The Clean Air Act had allowed for California to enact its own emissions standards if granted a waiver by the EPA, but the Trump administration had revoked that ability. At the time, then-President Donald Trump said the revocation

would lead to safe and cheaper vehicles. But the EPA said the previous administration’s actions were “decided in error and now entirely rescinded.” “Today, we proudly reaffirm California’s longstanding authority to lead in addressing pollution from cars and trucks,” EPA Administrator Michael Regan said in a statement. “Our partnership with states to confront the climate crisis has never been more important.” “I thank the Biden administration for righting the

reckless wrongs of the Trump administration and recognizing our decades-old authority to protect Californians and our planet,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement. “The restoration of our state’s Clean Air Act waiver is a major victory for the environment, our economy and the health of families across the country that comes at a pivotal moment underscoring the need to end our reliance on fossil fuels.” “California looks forward to partnering with the Biden administration to make a zeroemission future a reality for all

28 new COVID-19 cases reported

Americans,” Gov. Newsom said. California Attorney General Rob Bonta testified at an EPA hearing last year, imploring the agency to restore the waiver. He said Wednesday’s decision was a “victory for Californians, a victory for the nation and a victory for the planet.” The EPA’s move also opens up the ability for other states to adopt California’s greenhouse gas emission standards. Mr. Bonta said 15 states have already adopted those standards. email: kschallhorn@newspress.com.

SANTA BARBARA — Santa Barbara police arrested a 55-yearold man after he allegedly threw an explosive object toward the kitchen of a restaurant Tuesday. Police said Eric Carl Strand of Goleta threw a flash-bang, an explosive device used to create a loud and bright explosion, near the kitchen of a restaurant within the 100 block of Harbor Way. Police said Mr. Strand returned to his table after throwing the device, and witnesses were able to identify him to responding officers. Mr. Strand was taken into custody and booked at the Santa Barbara County Main Jail for maliciously and recklessly

possessing a destructive or explosive device and exploding or igniting a destructive device. Both charges are felonies, and his bail was set at $500,000. There is no known motive at this time. Police and fire personnel responded to the scene. There are no known injuries at this time. The case is still under investigation, police said. — Kaitlyn Schallhorn

Wrong-way truck causes multiple accidents LOS ALAMOS — A driver traveling southbound in the northbound lane of Highway 101 caused multiple accidents and

approximately 80 gallons of leaked diesel fuel Tuesday evening, according to the California Highway Patrol. Police said a Freightliner truck was allegedly traveling in the wrong lane south of Los Alamos shortly before 8 p.m. Tuesday, causing multiple nearmiss collisions and one accident involving two cars that were attempting to avoid hitting the truck south of Alisos Canyon. During this collision, a gas tank of one of the vehicles ruptured, spilling about 50 gallons of diesel fuel onto the shoulder. A few miles later, just south of State Route 154, the Freightliner truck struck a 2015 Toyota vehicle head-on, according to CHP. The driver of the Toyota needed to be extricated by responding fire personnel and was airlifted to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital with major injuries, CHP said.

The driver and the passenger of the wrong-way truck were transported to Marian Regional Medical Center in Santa Maria with moderate injuries, according to the collision report. Christopher Moreno of Clovis, the truck’s driver, was placed into custody for suspicion of driving under the influence. Police said alcohol and/or drugs may have been a factor in Tuesday’s incident. According to the collision report, the Freightliner truck became disabled after the crash, blocking part of the northbound lane. This accident resulted in about 30 gallons of diesel fuel leaked into the median. The California Department of Transportation cleaned the spilled fuel Wednesday morning, according to CHP.

Santa Barbara film festival to present new documentary about childhood drownings

COURTESY PHOTO

“I really wanted people to see how quickly (drownings) can happen,” said filmmaker Chezik Tsunoda, whose “Drowning in Silence” documentary screens today and Friday at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.

Ms. Tsunoda said drownings are the second highest cause of death for youths ages 14-17. “For older ages, it’s in the open water. For the younger ages, it’s pools and bathtubs,” Ms. Tsunoda told the News-Press Wednesday by phone just before catching her flight from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. “I really wanted people to see how quickly (drownings) can happen. They can happen to anyone,” Ms. Tsunoda said. She talked about her son’s death. “We were at a friend’s house, just his family and our family

five times more likely to drown than white children and said the number is higher for Native American children. “I am an African-American,” Ms. Tsunoda said. “I didn’t expect the disparity.” The former MTV and VH1 producer said the disparity results from black children having less access to pools, where they can learn to swim. She also said there’s a factor that goes back several generations to a time when segregation prevented black individuals from having access to pools. When grandmothers and mothers don’t know how to swim, there’s a chance future generations won’t learn as well, she said. The film’s executive producers are actor Hill Harper (ABC’s “The Good Doctor”) and film and TV editor Joe Beshenkovsky (“This American Life.”) “Drowning in Silence” cinematographers are Jeff Dolen, Paul Mailman and Seth Haley, and editing was done by Claire Ave’Lallemant. email: dmason@newspress.com

Zoom session to discuss human trafficking participants will learn the definitions of sex trafficking and labor trafficking, how to spot the signs, the task force’s history and work, and how to report human trafficking. The county task force has served 192 survivors during the past four years. “And that is only the young

women and men we are aware of,” SB Act said in a news release. “We believe it is vital that all our community members, businesses, hotels, and service providers are aware of the issue and able to spot the signs and know who to call when something is suspected or there is imminent danger.”

SB ACT noted homelessness is a leading risk factor in human trafficking. The county task force includes members of state and federal law enforcement agencies, as well as nonprofits and faith-based organizations. — Katherine Zehnder

Chezik Tsunoda’s son, Yori, was 3 when he drowned in 2018 in a swimming pool. A year after his death, Ms. Tsunoda felt she had to do something to prevent this tragedy from happening to other families. So the Seattle resident started work on producing a documentary, “Drowning in Silence,” which will screen during its U.S. premiere today during the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. The movie will screen at 5 p.m. at the Metro 4 theater, 618 State St. It will be shown again at the same Santa Barbara theater at noon Friday. Ms. Tsunoda, whose first name Chezik is pronounced “Shay-zik,” will be at both screenings for a Q&A afterward. The documentary made its world premiere during a virtual screening at the Toronto Women’s International Film Festival. Ms. Tsunoda’s documentary shows her journey from grief to an effort to stop the preventable tragedy of drownings from happening to other families. She interviewed families, physicians and water safety advocates. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more children ages 1-4 die from drowning than any other cause other than birth defects (www.cdc. gov/drowning/facts/index.html).

First responders revived Yori and took him to the hospital. “But it was too late. His brain never recovered,” Ms. Tsunoda said. “In the film, I interviewed several different families, and I wanted to show people you can use your pain for a purpose,” she said. “Many of these families are fighting alongside me to bring awareness to make sure we reduce the statistics and get kids swimming,” Ms. Tsunoda said, referring to the importance of swimming lessons in preventing drownings. Ms. Tsunoda noted the need for safety precautions such as life jackets. And she urges parents who are bathing their young children to bring everything they need to the bathroom. She said a child can drown in the time it takes to go back for a towel. “When your child is in a bath, you should be sitting right next to them and making sure you’re within an arm’s length to hold them,” Ms. Tsunoda said. “Do not leave your children in the bath.” Her documentary also addresses racial inequity.

Pioneer Valley places fifth in ‘Race to Submit’ By KATHERINEZ ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Pioneer Valley High School recently placed fifth in the “Race to Submit” for students applying for Free Application for Federal Student Aid. This is the third consecutive year that the Santa Maria school has placed in the top 10 leaderboard for California schools. The FAFSA initiative improves college choice and access to financial aid and is a collaboration between the California Student Aid Commission and the California

Department of Education. The Race to Submit is a statewide campaign that aims to increase the number of financial aid applications (FAFSAs / CADAAs) for California high school seniors. The Pioneer Valley College and Career Center has been busy over the past six weeks doing outreach to families and holding parent evening sessions and Cash for College events to get students qualified. The process requires families to bring their tax information and other necessary information. “It is an amazing accomplishment to be recognized

as one of the top five schools in California for completion of financial aid applications,” said Pioneer Valley College and Career Center Specialist Melani Teixe. “We are extremely grateful to have this opportunity to help our students make strides toward pursuing their education after high school, whether that be going straight to a university, attending our local junior college, enlisting in the armed forces or going to a trade school.” The application period runs from Oct. 1 through March 2, and The Race to Submit Leaderboard top 10 winners is updated weekly

online. “I’m so proud of the staff that have been working so many extra hours assisting students in completing their FAFSA. Both parents and students have been grateful for the opportunity to learn about how this short application can bring financial gains,” ’ said Pioneer Valley Principal Shanda Herrera. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

According to the Legislative Analyst’s Office, the governor’s proposal would prevent about a 3 cent per gallon increase at the pumps. “Gas, food and other prices are up, so our focus cannot be a small cut to the gas tax that might not get passed on to consumers,” the lawmakers said. As Democratic legislators are pushing back on Gov. Newsom’s proposal to pause the annual excise tax increase, several Republican lawmakers are calling for the Legislature to outright eliminate the gas tax.

for six months, a move he says would save Californians 50 cents per gallon at the pump. Currently, the state’s excise gas tax rate per gallon stands at 51 cents. Assemblyman Kiley’s bill has not yet been assigned to a committee. “This bill puts money back into the pockets of families at a time when they need it most,” Assemblyman Kiley said in a statement in January. “Inflation and record gas prices are making our state even less affordable. Californians need relief.” Looking ahead, experts say it’s hard to forecast how gas prices will shift in the coming weeks. During a typical year in Southern California, gas prices typically rise anywhere from 30 cents to 50 cents per gallon between January and May because the state uses two different types of gasoline for pollution control, according

to AAA Southern California spokesperson Marie Montgomery Nordhues. “Clearly we are already well past 50 cents. L.A. prices rose 62 cents just in the last week, which has never happened before,” Ms. Nordhues told The Center Square in an email. Ms. Nordhues noted that California started the year at near-record levels for gas prices driven by inflation, rising oil prices and a temporary shutdown of some Northern California oil refineries due to weather impacts. Over the last month, the conflict in Ukraine has driven up oil prices, causing gas prices to rise stateside, she added. “This really has been an unprecedented year, so it is hard to say what will happen,” Ms. Nordhues said. Madison Hirneisen covers California for The Center Square.

cultivation of relationships very often leads to information that allows us to prevent these things before they’re happening, and then they don’t make the news.” In his State of the State address earlier this week, Gov. Gavin Newsom pointed to the importance of public safety. “We are funding local law enforcement and prosecutors to investigate and solve more crime, bolstering the Attorney General’s Office, prosecuting organized theft rings and getting illegal guns

off the streets,” Gov. Newsom said. “But we’re also investing hundreds of millions in new programs to tackle the root causes of crime, doubling down on proven violence-prevention programs.” The BackgroundChecks.org report said the U.S. saw a 14% increase in firearm-related deaths in 2020 from the prior year and a 43% increase from the previous decade. Those statistics included both homicides and suicides.

Carbajal said. “We’re doing everything possible to avert an escalation and a bigger war that could actually lead to a really big war that would necessitate sending NATO and American troops into the area in Ukraine. We are working hard to avoid that,” the congressman said. U.S. Rep.

Wagner told the News-Press, “but I believe they could have done more to deter (Putin) earlier, perhaps, than imposing them after he already started the war. The sanctions are important. They’re working; they should have been done earlier as a deterrent.” Rep. Carbajal, in an echo of President Joe Biden’s past comments, said Americans will feel the impact of the sanctions placed on Mr. Putin as well — most noticeably as gas prices continue to skyrocket. “There is a price for us putting in these sanctions and working with NATO to pressure Putin and as such, that’s going to have an impact on some of the costs in our country,” Rep. Carbajal said. “Putin’s aggression and chaos is a great reason why we are seeing gas prices rise, and it’s important for our community on the Central Coast and our country to know that this is a direct impact of our standing up to Putin.” On Wednesday, the average price of gas in Santa Barbara continued its record climb to $5.54. In California, the average

fuel price was $5.57 with the country’s average lower at $4.25. Mr. Biden warned the move to ban Russian oil would cause a continued spike in gas prices across the country, placing the blame squarely on Russia. “Russia’s aggression has cost us all,” he said earlier this week. Gov. Gavin Newsom promised a proposal to alleviate the rising fuel costs during his State of the State address Tuesday evening. A spokesperson for the governor told the News-Press the proposal is still being developed but would take the form of a tax rebate. When Rep. Carbajal was visiting Ukraine in December, he met with the head of Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces, Major General Hryhory Halahan, and other members of the Ukrainian military and diplomatic officials. “The Ukrainian people expressed to us their commitment to fighting and resisting a Russian invasion,” Rep. Carbajal said. “What they told us came to be: that they were not going to roll over should Russia invade, and they were going to resist and fight, and that is what they’re doing now admirably.” email: kschallhorn@newspress.com

babies. I saw the elderly. I saw the disabled. And I saw pets. “I saw very few men because men between ages 18 and 60 have to stay behind (to fight Russian troops),” Ms. Murray said. Ms. Murray is representing ShelterBox USA as the international ShelterBox team works to determine what Ukrainian refugees and those still in Ukraine need. In addition to Ms. Murray, the team includes people from Britain, The Netherlands and Finland. Ms. Murray said ShelterBox is working to send tools and materials into Ukraine to repair homes. “We have thousands of these prepositioned in Belgium. We have aid in the region. It takes two days to truck this stuff down. “We’ll be supplementing this with several other items such as hygiene kits, solar lights and blankets,” Ms. Murray said. “It’s a brutal winter. We’ve been procuring tens of thousands of jackets.” Ms. Murray and other ShelterBox representatives and volunteers won’t be going into Ukraine, but are relying on brave people with other humanitarian organizations to bring the materials into Ukraine. She said she isn’t identifying who’s helping in order to keep them safe. They’re risking their lives to help Ukranians. For the refugees leaving Ukraine, ShelterBox is providing them with supplies they can carry — blankets, coats and cash assistance for food, Ms. Murray said. “Many of these people live from week to week. We’re working on a very customized kit.” Ms. Murray said sending aid to Ukraine isn’t as simple as packing a box of supplies and mailing it. “It’s critical that we’re on the ground and talk to the refugees

Biden pushes federal spending to boost domestic tech manufacturing By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE SENIOR REPORTER

(The Center Square) — President Joe Biden met with a collection of business leaders, governors and U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo Wednesday to discuss increasing domestic tech manufacturing to compete with China. President Biden touted domestic manufacturing growth, saying 432,000 new manufacturing jobs have been created in the U.S. since the beginning of 2021. The economy has seen mixed results in the past year, with job growth rebounding from COVID-era shutdowns alongside increased inflation, supply chain issues and fears of another recession. The president pointed to companies like Micron and

Samsung, saying they are looking to invest in semiconductor manufacturing in the U.S., a major area of focus for the president in his push for expanded domestic manufacturing. Bringing manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. was one of the signature platforms of former President Donald Trump. President Biden pushed the “Bipartisan Innovation Act,” which would incentivize hightech manufacturing in the U.S. on products like semiconductors and microchips through rule changes and federal funding. “First, it will send a message to the world that America is back in the game, open for investment, commitment, creating clean energy economy and competing to win in the 21st century,” Mr. Biden said. “Second, we are going to create jobs

— good-paying, butting edge jobs, manufacturing jobs, many that don’t require a four-year college degree. Third, making it in America is one of the ways that we can address our cost and supply chain challenges.” Semiconductor chip shortages have become a major issue after recent semiconductor shortages helped drive up the cost of vehicles. Pricing data released in February from the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the price of new vehicles increased more than 12% in the previous 12 months while used vehicles saw more than a 40% increase during the same time. “One of the reasons we need to (pass the bill) is because there is perhaps no production more important than reclaiming America’s leadership and owning our future than semiconductors,” President Biden said. “You know,

these semiconductors are the size of a fingertip and power just about everything in our everyday life: smart phones, the internet, appliances, technologies we haven’t invented yet. “The semiconductor was invented here in the United States of America,” he added. “Over 30 years ago, America had 40% of the global production of semiconductors, but since then something happened. American manufacturing, the backbone of our economy, got hollowed out. Companies moved jobs and production overseas, especially from the industrial Midwest, and the result today, we barely produce 10% of these computer chips despite being a leader on chip design and research.” Casey Harper works at The Center Square’s Washington, D.C., bureau.

and asses their needs and not determine their needs for them,” Ms. Murray said. “They tell you what their needs are.” The number of refugees continues to grow. The United Nations this week put the number at more than two million. “Sixty percent have come to Poland — 1.2 million,” Ms. Murray said. “The U.N. is now predicting as many as seven million refugees as the result of this crisis. “In addition to the (current) two million, there are millions on the move in Ukraine, moving east to west to get away from the war,”

Ronald “Ron” Loos, age 53, died at his Grover Beach, California residence on March 5, 2022 from complications of Diabetes. Ron leaves behind his parents, Pam (Willard) & Gary Loos, of Vancouver, WA; his brother, Rick Loos (Annie), of Bend, OR, his sister, Treena Jensen of Vancouver, WA, nephews, Ryker and Hudson Loos, niece, Fae Hartley, and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Ron spent his youth in Goleta, moving to Carpinteria where he lived with his “other” family, the Laras, and spent several years in Maui, before returning to the California Central Coast. Ron was a generous and loving soul who was known by many as a friend who would give you the shirt off his back - something which he actually did. Ron’s absence leaves a large hole in the hearts of his family and friends. May he rest in peace. Details of a celebration of life “paddle out” will be posted online and on Facebook soon. Donations to the American Diabetes Association may be made in Ron’s honor.

PRECIPITATION

Frank Reed Webb passed into the arms of his Lord on March 6, 2022. He was born on April 10, 1941, in Glendale, California to Jack and Becky Webb. He graduated from Glendale High School in 1959. After one year of fooling around at Glendale College, his parents decided he should do his two years of service in the Navy as part of a reserve program. He served on the USS Marshall and traveled the Pacific Ocean, making many interesting stops and learning many lessons. When discharged, he went back to Glendale College with a renewed commitment to his education and future. After graduation, he transferred to Los Angeles State University. He received his CPA certification after his apprenticeship at the Brentwood office of Arthur Young and Company. He later earned an Executive MBA at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. He married the love of his life, Carol Jennings, in 1965. Over the next eight years, they had three children: Michael, Wendy, and Holly. Frank’s chosen career was in cable television. He started at H&B American when cable television was basically an antenna service on top of a hill. Over the next sixty years, cable television became a very sophisticated business, and Frank was involved in starting business in California, New York, Alabama, Georgia, Missouri, and Maryland. When cable television had spread across the United States, Frank was hired to help bring cable television to Hong Kong, Yorkshire, England, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and Warsaw, Poland. His family was along for the ride and loved the excitement of the projects he was involved in and the adventure of living in very interesting and diverse locations. Upon his retirement, Frank and Carol returned to Southern California and after two years moved first to Summerland, California, and then to Carpinteria, California. They both spent over ten years working at H&R Block as tax preparers where they enjoyed working with coworkers who became friends and clients they enjoyed seeing year after year. Frank leaves behind a wife that thinks he hung the moon, his three children, his daughter-in-law Irene, his five lovely grandchildren Evelyn, Charlotte, Haley, Steven, and Anderson, his brother Richard, and sister-in-law Linda, as well as many loving friends. His family believes his biggest gift to the lives of those who knew him was his sense of humor. He kept all of us laughing and has chosen for his grave marker, “There will be more laughter in heaven,” which we think is most appropriate. Rest In peace, Frank Reed, until we meet again. The funeral will be held at Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Santa Barbara at 1:00 on Saturday, March 12, 2022. All are welcome with a reception following at our home.

At the train station, Ms. Murray saw people wanting to help the Ukranians in various ways. She said that included handing out flowers. “As every person got off the train, there was a clergy member, giving every person a tulip.”

Black coco beans This is one of my favorite varieties of black beans, available weekly from Two Peas in a Pod Farm at the Saturday Santa Barbara farmers’ market. Much larger than your standard black bean, they have a rounded oval shape and a shiny exterior. The bean delivers a nice balance of firm yet soft texture once cooked and is quite flavorful. This week I incorporated this variety into a Coco Black Bean Chili as the Fix of the Week on B2. This nutrient-, fiber- and protein-packed food source is ideal for incorporating into your weekly diets. Black Coco beans are thought to be native to 19th-century France. Price averages $10 per pound.

San Ysidro Ranch’s Salon & Spa is known as a great place to be pampered.

A place to pamper Salon & Spa at San Ysidro Ranch welcomes locals, too

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

anta Barbarans are frequent diners at San Ysidro Ranch’s two restaurants, The Stonehouse and Plow and Angel. But few may be aware that the Salon & Spa also welcomes locals to the cottage-style retreat that features lavish furnishings, a stone fireplace and whimsical wall coverings of hand-painted vignettes of songbirds. “We offer complimentary lunch with every salon visit that can be enjoyed at the Stonehouse

restaurant or on the private spa patio. Many local guests come and get a wash and style or a spa mist conditioning treatment along with a haircut and color, add a manicure or pedicure and then relax with a delicious lunch from the restaurant,” said Tim McGlone, director along with his wife Joellen. “Guests can relax on the lounge chairs and bistro tables at the spa patio, but services are provided indoors. Lunch is complimentary with a hair and/or nail service and can be enjoyed on the patio or in the restaurant the day of service.” The McGlones each have 38 years experience in their fields,

he as a master stylist and she as an aesthetician. They are in charge of a staff of 14 with expertise in all aspects of hair, including balayage, highlights, extensions, haircuts, conditioning treatments and blowouts. Offerings include men’s and women’s haircare, including cuts, colors, and style; custom facials and massages; aromatherapy body treatments; waxing; bridal hair and makeup; and manicures and pedicures. For those wanting a true spa day, the Salon & Spa offers a “Day of Rejuvenation,” which includes a 30-minute soak in a hydro spa

tub or steam shower, a 90-minute Swedish massage, a 60-minute facial and a salon wash and style. “We offer a variety of skincare treatments using the famous Intraceuticals oxygen therapy machine and beautiful YonKa Paris luxury products. Our massage treatments feature signature oils infused with lavender, rosemary and lemons grown in our gardens,” said Mr. McGlone. “Our extensive spa menu includes everything from Swedish, deep tissue, and hot stone massages to cranial, lomi lomi, reiki, table Thai, sports, shiatsu and prenatal massage.

At left, spa treatments are used to rejuvenate guests at San Ysidro Ranch. At right, a welcoming environment greets guests at the Salon & Spa.

We also offer three different body scrubs from Yon-Ka, including a gorgeous lavender body cream gommage, and nail services in our relaxing zero gravity chairs.” The ranch has always offered salon and spa services on the property in the privacy of the guest cottages. The new Salon & Spa building once housed administrative staff before being transformed into a tranquil spa destination. “We have refreshed the openair salon with brand new stateof-the-art equipment including Yume Spa Dream Shampoo chairs, exquisitely crafted in Please see SPA on B2

Also known as Chinese mustard greens, there are more than 50 varieties of this green, which vary in appearance and flavor. This particular specimen that I picked up from Her Family Farm at the Saturday Santa Barbara farmers’ market has a peppery flavor that is reminiscent of the mustard green family with notes of wasabi throughout. It is also commonly used as a braising green, or sautéed. This green pairs quite well with Asian-inspired ingredients such as ginger, garlic and cilantro, as well as richly flavored meats such as pork and chicken. I also enjoy green pairing with apples, delivering a nice sweet and spicy combination. Price averages $2 per bunch.

Organic bloomsdale spinach This variety — which is available from Roots Farm and The Garden Of…, both in Los Olivos — is recognized by its large deep green leaves and thick stems with a pinkish hue toward the base where the spinach is connected. An excellent source of antioxidants, spinach delivers four times the beta carotene of broccoli. It is also a rich source of lutein and contains protein, fiber, vitamins A and C, calcium, iron and folic acid. Spinach provides a higher level of nutrients when consumed either raw or just slightly cooked. Organic bloomsdale spinach is available at the Saturday Santa Barbara, Tuesday Santa Barbara and Wednesday Solvang farmers/ markets. Certified organic is available. Price averages $5 per halfpound bag.

Film festival to honor Kidman, Bardem

SANTA BARBARA — Javier Bardem and Nicole Kidman, who starred as Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball in director-writer Aaron Sorkin’s “Being The Ricardos,” will be honored with the Maltin Modern Master Award at 8 tonight. The Santa Barbara International Film Festival program will take place at the Arlington Theatre, 1317 State St. While Mr. Bardem will be there in person, Ms. Kidman will join virtually. She can’t be there in person because of an injury. Special programming will continue Friday with a free screening of “Silver Linings Playbook” at 7 p.m. at the

Arlington Theatre. Afterward, there will be a Q&A with David O. Russell and editor Jay Cassidy. The film stars Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro and Jacki Weaver in a story about Pat Solitano, who’s living with his parents after losing his job and wife and spending time in a mental institution. He’s working on reconnecting with his wife when he meets Tiffany, who’ll help him if he does something important for her. To see the schedule for the festival’s movies, panels and special events, go to sbiff.org.

Japan for ultimate relaxation, and we are the only salon in the region to offer world-renowned Shu Uemura hair care products,” said Mr. McGlone. “In addition, the spa is refreshed with updated massage tables, and the new spa patio offers vinecovered pergolas, bistro tables and a gently cascading waterfall surrounded by fragrant rosemary and lavender bushes.” “No detail was spared in the design process, and it was designed with the comfort and relaxation of our resort guests and local patrons in mind,” Mr. McGlone said. “Imagine if the Queen’s Hamlet at Versailles had a salon and spa. It’s a beautifully restored rustic cottage that has a storybook feel with whimsical songbird murals and surrounded by meticulously manicured gardens. But it also offers the modern conveniences of a world-class spa featuring stateof-the-art facilities and luxury services.”

m a big fan of dried beans, and the local farmers’ markets offer quite a diverse selection. Arroyo Grande farmer Lori Heal, of Two Peas in a Pod Farm, really leads the pack when it comes to the most variety on the table, with about a dozen or so dried beans available at any given Saturday farmers’ market. With varying shapes and sizes, each type offers a slightly different flavor and texture once cooked. This week I picked up a bag full of Two Peas in a Pod Farms’ Black Coco Beans, one I work with quite regularly throughout the year, when available. Most black beans encountered at the grocery store are relatively petite. In contrast, this variety of black bean is noticeably larger, with a distinct rounded oval shape and a smooth shiny outer surface. Like standard black beans, they deliver a very rich flavor to the surrounding liquid, and the bean itself has notes of nutty flavor and a balance of firm yet smooth texture. Once cooked, much of the black color of the bean leaches into the liquid and takes on a light gray hue. In general, dried beans are a very nutrient rich food source, ideal for incorporating into your seasonal diet. They are an exceptional source of complex carbohydrates as well as protein, containing a higher proportion of protein than any other plant food. Although the protein is incomplete, it can easily be complemented by serving the beans with rice or other grains or nuts that supply the missing amino acids. Beans are the plant kingdom’s second-best source of dietary fiber (wheat bran is No. 1), and half of that is soluble fiber. They are also an excellent source of folate and vitamin B. In addition, most beans supply substantial amounts of iron, zinc, potassium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus and thiamin. I most commonly pre-soak my beans for a few hours, then simmer them in seasoned water for about 1¼ hours or until tender. This makes for a great item to pull out of the refrigerator throughout

the week to serve as a simple side dish, used to top mixed greens, add to tacos or burritos, or blended into a black bean soup. This week I incorporated Black Coco Beans in the homemade beef-based chili.

BLACK COCO BEAN CHILI 1 cup black coco beans, soaked for about 3-4 hours, then rinsed. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1-pound ground beef (or ground turkey or chicken). 30 ounces diced tomatoes (with liquid in can). 1 large, or 2 medium onion, diced. 3 fresh peppers (I used Chavez Family Farm bell peppers currently available at most weekly farmers’ markets). 4 medium carrots, diced small. ¼ cup chili powder. 1 tablespoon dried oregano. 2 tablespoons granulated garlic, garlic powder or 5 cloves fresh garlic, minced. 3 bay leaves. 1 tablespoon ground cumin. 1 tablespoon seasoned salt. Toppings: Shredded cabbage, sour cream, avocado, diced onion, chopped cilantro, grated cheese, chopped Chinese mustard greens, pickled jalapenos, etc. This can be cooked on the stovetop or in a slow cooker. I prepared mine in a slow cooker, set on high for about 5 hours. If done on the stovetop at a simmer, the chili should take about 3 hours. Place your beans in the slow cooker or pot. In a large sauté pan, add olive oil, turn to high heat, and brown the ground beef, about 7 minutes, turning regularly. Add the beef to the slow cooker, followed by all remaining ingredients. Add just enough water to almost reach the top of the ingredients and mix a few times. Cover and cook. Once done, stir and serve, topping with your desired ingredients. Yield: Serves 8.

Thought for Today

LIBRA — There is a strong wave of power coming your way, so be careful how you handle it, Libra. You’re extra prone to injuries and accidents of an explosive nature. Try not to make any hasty moves while driving, and be careful operating things like gas pumps or propane tanks. SCORPIO — Your energy is likely to operate in extreme bursts, Scorpio. One minute you may be lethargic and the next you’re ready to run a marathon. Engage in activities that nurture your fluctuating moods. There’s no need to figure out why you feel this way. The key is to identify these feelings and act accordingly. SAGITTARIUS — You might want to put on your suit of armor as soon as you wake up, Sagittarius. An all-out battle is raging out there, and it could seem like everyone has picked you as the main target. Be careful about escalating an issue even more by becoming defensive without first understanding the full scope of the matter. CAPRICORN — Debates over philosophy, religion, and education are likely to turn into all-out war. Feel free to add your two cents, Capricorn. This is one time in which it’s crucial to stand up for what you believe or else the loudest people will have their way. If there is a protest going on, join it. If there is an article in the newspaper you disagree with, write a letter to the editor. Speak your mind. AQUARIUS — There is a tremendous amount of physical energy building within you, Aquarius. Be careful that you don’t let this incredible force come out in the form of a heated argument against someone you really care about. Perhaps you suddenly feel as if everything is caving in and you desperately need some means of escape. PISCES — You’re sailing along and suddenly see a big ramp in front of you, Pisces. Your choice: avoid the ramp, stay on the ground where you know it’s safe, and be content with a limited worldview, or hit that ramp head on and soar over the trees and beyond. Who knows where you might land?

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.

ARIES — A great sense of duty toward your fellow humans is likely to drive your actions, Aries. Think of yourself as an important role model for young people. They may look up to you without you even knowing it. Make sure you stand up straight and proudly whether or not you consider your job menial. TAURUS — There is a negative intensity about the day that is only going to get worse if you continue this stubbornness about every issue that comes your way, Taurus. Much of today’s activity will focus on ways in which people can break out of their ruts and see things from an entirely different perspective. GEMINI — Whether or not you willingly participate, you’ll certainly play a key role in the action, Gemini. At times you’ll feel like the pivotal player whose actions decide the fate of the game. Now you must close your eyes, take a deep breath, and find the answer from your heart. CANCER — The time for planning and calculating is over, Cancer. The time for taking aggressive action has arrived. If you don’t have your armor ready, too bad. You’ll be thrust onto the battlefield with the rest of the troops even if you’re in your underwear. The more you try to delay the inevitable, the more difficult it will be. LEO — A large force is gathering now to make a bold statement and important pledge, Leo. This kind of movement brings together generations and unites people in a revolution. Put away the petty issues and think globally. Educate yourself about what’s going on in the world and take a more aggressive stand to fight for what you believe. VIRGO — There is a burning restlessness inside you that is activated because you don’t feel as if you’re fulfilling your life’s destiny, Virgo. You could have a sudden insight that you have a much greater purpose in this life than what you’re doing now. Explore this idea and see how you can move toward this desire that comes from deep within.

KRUEGER, YOU ARE BEING SUED BY PLAINTIFF (LO ESTÁ DEMANDANDO EL DEMANDANTE): WELLS FARGO BANK, N. A. NOTICE! You have been sued. The court may decide against you without your being heard unless you respond within 30 days. Read the information below. You have 30 CALENDAR DAYS after this summons and legal papers are served on you to file a written response at this court and have a copy served on the plaintiff. A letter or phone call will not protect you. Your written response must be in proper legal form if you want the court to hear your case. There may be a court form that you can use for your response. You can find these court forms and more information at the California Courts Online Self-Help Center (www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp), your county law library, or the courthouse nearest you. If you cannot pay the filing fee, ask the court clerk for a fee waiver form. If you do not file your response on time, you may lose the case by default, and your wages, money, and property may be taken without further warning from the court. There are other legal requirements. You may want to call an attorney right away. If you do not know an attorney, you may want to call an attorney referral service. If you cannot afford an attorney, you may be eligible for free legal services from a nonprofit legal services program. You can locate these nonprofit groups at the California Legal Services Web site (www.lawhelpcalifornia. org), the California Courts Online Self-Help Center (www.courtinfo. ca.gov/selfhelp), or by contacting your local court or county bar association. NOTE: The court has a statutory lien for waived fees and costs on any settlement or arbitration award of $10,000 or more in a civil case. The court’s lien must be paid before the court will dismiss the case. ¡AVISO! Lo han demandado. Si no responde dentro de 30 días, la corte puede decidir en su contra sin escuchar su versión. Lea la información a continuación. Tiene 30 DÍAS DE CALENDARIO después de que le entreguen esta citación y papeles legales para presentar una respuesta por escrito en esta corte y hacer que se entregue una copia al demandante. Una carta o una llamada telefónica no lo protegen. Su respuesta por escrito tiene que estar en formato legal correcto si desea que procesen su caso en la corte. Es posible que haya un formulario que usted pueda usar para su respuesta. Puede encontrar estos formularios de la corte y más información en el Centro de Ayuda de las Cortes de California (www.sucorte.ca.gov), en la biblioteca de leyes de su condado o en la corte que le quede más cerca.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 866-266-7512 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub.com using the file number assigned to this case 21001809-1 CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 866-266-7512 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub.com using the file number assigned to this case 21001809-1 CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.
