Fiesta Pequeña, Noches de Ronda to be held this year

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The June 15 announcement that California ditched its colorcoded tier system, capacity limits, social distancing restrictions and mask guidance came with another anticipated announcement from Old Spanish Days in Santa Barbara. First things first. Fiesta Pequeña is back. It will be held Aug. 4 on the steps of the Santa Barbara Mission, as it traditionally was before the pandemic.

Secondly, Noches de Ronda will return to the Santa Barbara County Courthouse Sunken Garden from Aug. 5 through Aug. 7. Finally, Tardes de Ronda will be held Aug. 7. “I think the entire organization is happy that we can do more Fiesta events free of charge for the community,” David Bolton, the 2021 Old Spanish Days El Segundo Vice Presidente, told the News-Press. “It’s a big part of our mission statement — to be able to put on Fiesta for the community and offer as many events as

possible free of charge. Fiesta definitely brings excitement to the city, it brings revenue to a lot of businesses, and it really gives our community an outside experience to enjoy dance, music and culture.” Fiesta Pequeña will be hosted by the Franciscan Friars of Old Mission, per usual, and televised live on KEYT, Channel 3. Montecito Bank and Trust is sponsoring Fiesta Pequeña 2021 with the entire public invited to the evening of music and dance. “We’re thanking the Franciscan community for allowing us to come

back to their home, because the Mission is their home, and being able to put that on again. That’s such a magical event, Fiesta Pequeña,” 2021 La Presidenta Stephanie Petlow told the NewsPress. She said the opening of Fiesta is “very near and dear” to her heart, since her daughter was a dancer many years ago and she herself has been volunteering for the past 20 years. “It’s been a very wonderful and exciting journey for myself and for my family, and we’re very happy that we’re able to have a more

traditional Old Spanish Days this year,” La Presidenta said. At May 12’s Fiesta press conference, announcements were made according to the rules in place at the time, Mr. Bolton explained. It wasn’t until the details of the June 15 reopening were rolled out from the state that the Old Spanish Days organization knew what events could take place. When asked about the potential of the return of parades and mercados as well, Mr. Bolton said, “Old Spanish Days is looking at other additional events as we’re

able to do other events based on our infrastructure, logistics and permissions. We’re planning to have other announcements coming up as additional events potentially get added and as guidelines change. “Either way, here in the state of California, parades or mercados have not been announced,” he said. Ms. Petlow added that she’s hopeful for the return of the parades and mercados this year, but if not, “hopefully next year we Please see SHOWS on A4

Question remains on masks in school State guidance still under discussion By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

Though the state unleashed new guidance for masking and social distancing Tuesday — essentially removing mask requirements in many places for vaccinated folks — questions remain about how the updated guidelines will apply in specific sectors. One area that remains uncertain is the masking policy for schools this fall. While most schools are now on summer break, multiple members of the Board of Supervisors raised questions during a meeting Tuesday about what the masking policy will look like when it’s time to go back to school. “This is definitely the question I’m getting most often from folks,” Supervisor Das Williams said Tuesday, asking for updates from public health officials on the masking policy for schools. As of right now, all schools require masks for students indoors regardless of their vaccination status, while allowing students to remove face coverings when they are outdoors. This same policy applies to children’s camps this summer. The state has been reviewing the guidance for schools for about a month to determine the best course of action for the fall, yet no updated policy has been

released. According to Dr. Henning Ansorg, the county public health officer, developing new guidance for schools will require talking with the many stakeholders involved. The new masking policy, he added, spans beyond a public health lens and must be vetted by a number of other local and state officials. “It’s a very lengthy process because many stakeholders are involved,” Dr. Ansorg told the Please see COVID-19 on B4

Fiesta Ranchera returns tonight in Goleta By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

Goleta’s Fiesta Ranchera is back — but with a twist. To kick off this year’s Fiesta event season, Old Spanish Days and the Goleta Valley Historical Society are presenting an “On the Go” version of the annual celebration, which will feature pop-up dance performances around Goleta as a way to thank the restaurants who have supported the event for many years.

The celebration begins tonight with live dance performances at Los Arroyos Mexican Restaurant, 5764 Calle Real, at 7 p.m. and the Nugget Bar & Grill, 5687 Calle Real, at 7:30 p.m. The fun will continue Saturday with a large pop-up flamenco and live music performance at the Camino Real Marketplace from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. David Bolton, the second vice presidente for Old Spanish Days, told the News-Press that instead of hosting a typical Fiesta

patronize the local eateries and breweries and shops throughout (the city).” Just like in past years, dancers donning traditional flamenco dresses will perform to live music, showcasing some of the best dancing Santa Barbara has to offer, Mr. Bolton said. “It’s the best of Santa Barbara dance. There’s many flamenco dance studios in town, and it really brings out youth, it brings out energy, it brings out traditions and it brings out generations,” Mr.

Bolton said. “I think we’re going to see these performances really put smiles on people’s faces. People that have patiently waited 15 months to be able to once again enjoy Fiesta.” After COVID-19 restrictions outright canceled Fiesta Ranchera last year, members of the Old Spanish Days board say they are ready to get back to hosting the events locals love. “What we’re most excited about is getting to do our signature events this year,”

Stephanie Petlow, la presidenta of Old Spanish Days, told the News-Press. “Everybody is ready to celebrate heritage, history and culture and enjoy good food. We are very pleased to be able to do more for our community this year.” For more information on Fiesta Ranchera, visit goletahistory.org/fiestaranchera. email: mhirneisen@newspress. com

Red flag warning expires, weather to cool NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The National Weather Service’s red flag warning expired Wednesday morning as the fire danger waned from “extreme” to “high.” The mountains and foothills have an “elevated” fire risk, NWS meteorologist Rich Thompson told the News-Press. “Take proper precautions but know there’s no significant threat of fire,” he said. Residents can rest easier as sundowner winds have dissipated. “The gusty winds that we’ve had the last few evenings, that thread is over,” Mr. Thompson said. Coastal breezes and light winds will carry the county into next week, he said. Excessive heat warnings will remain in parts of Santa Barbara County until Saturday night but have been canceled in coastal areas. The forecast includes highs of mid 70s to lower 80s in the area

surrounding the Santa Barbara Airport. The heat advisory remains in the Santa Ynez Valley through tonight with a forecast of up to 101 degrees. The interior Santa Barbara County mountains are expected to endure “dangerously hot conditions” with highs up to 110 degrees, according to the weather service. Residents may notice smoke in the sky from Arizona’s Telegraph Fire. Last Monday night and Tuesday were deemed the most dangerous by officials, with conditions looking like the perfect storm for wildfire. Santa Barbara County endured few incidents. A couple vegetation fires charred minimal acreage as firefighters expeditiously doused the flames. In Ventura County, the Casitas Fire claimed 188 acres as firefighters attacked the flames from ground and by plane. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

City of Goleta passes budget By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Goleta City Council has adopted a two-year budget for fiscal years 2021-22 and 202223, along with a comprehensive capital improvement plan. The total budget for Fiscal Year 2021-22 is $31.7 million and $32.1 million in Fiscal Year 2022-23. Council members unanimously approved the budget and capital improvement plan at their meeting Tuesday. Members also adopted the city’s GANN limit for Fiscal Year 202122. The GANN Appropriations Limit establishes a maximum amount of tax-funded government services.

Furthermore, the council adopted a schedule of authorized positions and the city of Goleta salary schedule and classification plan for fiscal years 2021-22 and 2022-23. Overall, city staff presented a balanced budget for both fiscal years through unfunded projects and priorities. Staff reported that operating revenues are greater than operating or ongoing expenditures. Goleta’s revenue outlook showed that its property tax remains stable. The city’s sales tax and transient occupancy tax are both returning closer to normal levels, and cannabis tax revenues continue to grow. Total revenues are projected

at $31.6 million for 2021-22 and $33.1 million in 2022-23. Revenue growth is primarily projected due to sales tax and transient occupancy tax returning closer to normal levels and an increase in cannabis tax revenues. Total expenditures are projected at $32.2 million in 202122 and $32.6 million in 2022-23. The presentation discussed the expenditures for the city of Goleta, which now include: returning staffing, service and supplies expenditures to pre-pandemic levels; annual work program priorities, including personnel changes to address ongoing staff deficiencies; and costs adjusted for contracts. In addition, the General Fund

expenditures saw a total net increase of $426,200 in 202122. General government saw a total net increase of $18,500, public safety went up by $437,700, and $1,296,212 in fund balance and reserves were set aside for improvement projects to the Goleta Community Center. City staff also discussed the General Fund five-year forecast. Revenue projections were made conservatively according to the presentation, and the forecast is an indicator of Goleta’s ongoing debt affordability and decreased ongoing expenditure associated with current or expanded service levels.

to wait for the economic feasibility studies, but Mayor Pro Tempore Oscar Gutierrez and Council members Eric Friedman and Kristen Sneddon felt that they should stick with their own original recommendation. “Yes, (decisions should be) always data-driven, but when it (the studies) comes back, there may be some time, just like this, before we actually move on it and make an action on it,” Ms. Sneddon said. “So, I don’t want to wait for another study again, and without having acted on what we already know. Frankly, that last study confirmed what we already knew.” Because Ms. Harmon was not yet present at the meeting, the council ultimately decided to prolong voting on the measure until next week until she could review the data and public comment and make an informed decision. In other news, the council held a public hearing and unanimously supported proposed increases to city water rates for fiscal years 2022, 2023 and 2024, and solid waste rates for Fiscal Year 2022. The necessary overall water rate increase the city determined was a 5% increase for each fiscal year, and the total rate increase of solid waste for Fiscal Year 2022 totals 7.5%. The new rates for both trash and recycling and water will be effective July 1. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

The Santa Barbara City Council heard and unanimously adopted its first ever three-year Economic Development Plan at its meeting Tuesday. The 27-page document, which was created by the city’s new economic development director Jason Harris, aims to strengthen the city’s economy, enhance downtown vibrancy, support social equity and environmental protection, and celebrate Santa Barbara’s historic character, cultural resources and art. The three foundations of the document are to support local businesses and commercial districts citywide, cultivate a business-friendly city government and strengthen downtown as the regional hub of retail, entertainment, art and culture, higher education and business. Strategies to accomplish these sweeping goals include organizing business assistance training opportunities, ensuring access to services in Spanish, strengthening the local seafood industry, promoting the growth of green/ sustainability business sectors, evaluating a permanent parklet program, creating an electronic newsletter and many more. Council members praised Mr. Harris on obtaining community input in the creation of the document, and the fact that he created the plan to be a living document that can be adjusted biannually according to the changing economic landscapes post-COVID. While the Economic Development Plan was adopted unanimously by the council, Councilwoman Kristen Sneddon criticized what she referred to as a lack of specificity in the document. “If it’s going to be our guidepost for the next three years, I want to see that level of detail in there,” she said. “It just doesn’t feel like Santa Barbara yet, to me, in full picture of Santa Barbara and all that we are.” The councilwoman said she wanted to see more strategies and concrete actions regarding environmental protection, open space and views of the mountains, the city’s festivals and parades and housing downtown. She also emphasized the arts and culture aspects of the city. “I think the conversations have happened with commercial fishermen (and) the conversations have happened with businesses in very great detail,” Ms. Sneddon said. “I think those conversations need to happen with arts as a category, culture as a category, the natural world as a category and historical context as a category.”

in a project to be restricted to moderate-income households for rental projects outside the CBD. The current requirement is 10% inclusionary units. However, in April of this year, the Planning Commission recommended to wait on determining the inclusionary housing requirements until the city receives a pending economic feasibility analysis and study of floor-to-lot-area ratios. Those studies are expected to come to council in a few months. A few public commenters supported waiting for the studies, including Dale Fathe-Aazam, the director of property, development and administration at the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara. “We believe that data should drive the city’s decision regarding increasing the inclusionary rate to an appropriate level,” he said during public comment. John Campanella, a former Santa Barbara city planning commissioner, agreed, saying one of the most important things to make sure of is that the city has the right percentage for moderate housing and to establish what the floor-to-lot-area ratio is. “The FAR is going to be the basis upon which you calculate the inclusionary, and we don’t know that yet,” he said. Mayor Cathy Murillo and Council members Mike Jordan and Alejandra Gutierrez agreed

Councilwoman Meagan Harmon countered Ms. Sneddon, however, saying that the document needed to move forward for the sake of time. “I think it makes good sense that businesses and the needs of businesses are prioritized in our Economic Development Plan,” Ms. Harmon said. “I’m very happy to see references to culture and arts and our environmental protection priorities. I think that is appropriate and necessary, but to me, in an Economic Development Plan, business and the needs of businesses and the economy should be centered. And I think that’s what’s been done in this document.” In other business, the City Council unanimously voted to add back in an amendment to the Average Unit-Size Density Incentive Program Ordinance to clarify that the AUD Program development standards did not apply to mobile home parks. This was added back to ensure that existing mobile home parks, which provide an alternative and typically affordable housing source, are protected from redevelopment. However, members of the council were split on increasing the inclusionary requirement outside the Central Business District to help meet the city’s affordable housing needs. In October 2020, the council directed staff to consider requiring 15% of all units

There will be no requirement to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination, either. “We’re receiving a lot of

enthusiasm and a lot of excitement throughout the community, both in the public sector as well as our sponsors and business leaders in town,” Mr. Bolton said. “Everybody loves Fiesta, and it’s really going to be special this year after having 15 months of a different life, to be able to experience as much of Fiesta as we’re able to put on.” While these events will take place in August, many other events are taking place over the next two months, including Fiesta Ranchera from today through Saturday supporting Goleta area restaurants and establishments. Dance groups

will be performing in the city all three days, concluding with a finale Saturday at Camino Real Marketplace. A Fiesta concert series will take place July 30, July 31 and Aug. 7 at the Carriage and Western Art Museum. Then, in August, accompanying the recently announced events returning will be the Arts and Crafts Show along Cabrillo Boulevard, El Presidente Party Sunday at the Carriage and Western Art Museum and the Fiesta Stock Horse Show and Rodeo at Earl Warren Showgrounds.

TRAFFIC, CRIME & FIRE BLOTTER SMPD to hold DUI checkpoint SANTA MARIA — The Santa Maria Police Department will be stopping motorists from 6 p.m. to 3 a.m. June 25 to check for sobriety. The location of the DUI checkpoint is not disclosed. Police choose the location by reviewing where previous DUI crashes and arrests occurred. “The safety of our community is and always will be our mission,” Sgt. Michael

McGehee said in a news release. “We are still out there in the middle of a pandemic because driving under the influence is still dangerous and puts a further strain on critical resources.” Officers will arrest those under the influence of drugs or alcohol, including prescription and over-the counter medications. DUI charges result in an average fine of $13,500 and a suspended license, SMPD said. — Annelise Hanshaw

Red watermelon I’m not sure if I’ve ever been to the Fourth of July event without watermelon present in some form. Whether simply sliced and served in wedges, cubed and tossed with a splash of lime juice, incorporated into a fruit salad or served on skewers (as in this week’s Fix of the Week on the next page), this refreshing summer staple is just beginning to emerge. Watermelons are available at all of our weekly Santa Barbara certified farmers markets from several farmers. The recent heat has allowed them to ripen up quite nicely. When selecting a watermelon, choose one that feels heavy for its size and has a nice hollow “knock” sound when tapped on its side. Your local farmers will be ready to assist in selecting the perfect specimen. Certified organic are available. Price averages $6 each.

“Shana Moulton: The Invisible Seventh is the Mystic Column” is now on display at the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara.

The fresh pepper season is just getting started, with this purple and yellow skinned beauty the first to arrive each year. Delivering a mildly sweet flavor with slight bitter notes, these purple peppers have thin, crisp flesh walls. They’re ideal for eating in both raw and cooked preparations. Slice and dip peppers in your favorite hummus, add them to a green salad, or stuff and bake them. This week, I enjoyed my purple peppers on a grilled vegetable platter that included grilled summer squash, carrots, turnips and asparagus. Purple peppers can currently be found at the Saturday Santa Barbara and Sunday Camino Real farmers’ markets from select growers. Price averages $4 per pound.

Video exhibit on view at Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

n her solo exhibition, “The Invisible Seventh is the Mystic Column,” Shana Moulton works with video installation and performance “to explore the

anxiety, isolation and mystical journeys of her alter-ego Cynthia as she traverses an evolving, yet cyclical loop of self-diagnosis and treatment.” “It’s basically a surrealist adventure story,” Ms. Moulton told the News-Press about the exhibit, which can be seen through July 31

at the Museum of Contemporary Art, upstairs at Paseo Nuevo. Included are “Whispering Pines” and “Pink Tower,” in which Ms. Moulton plays the role of “Cynthia,” both a fictional figure and the artist’s alter-ego. Her video series, “Whispering Pines,” originated in 2002 and is

named after the senior mobile home park run by her parents near Yosemite National Park. Ms. Moulton was born in Oakhurst, a small town near Yosemite. “I follow Cynthia on surreal and uncanny adventures as she attempts to reconcile societal anxieties while grappling

with existential discomfort. Appropriating New Age therapies, personal wellness products, physical movement and spiritual healing, Cynthia attempts transcendence, navigating the complex territory of selfPlease see MOULTON on B2

Pickling cucumber This variety of cucumber is ideal for making, yes, homemade pickles! Possessing a thicker skin and seedier center, pickling cucumbers hold up quite well when pickled, whether cut into spears or wedges. This variety can also be enjoyed raw, but they are often peeled before serving. Cucumbers have only 16 calories in a one-cup serving, making for a great refreshing snack. They are additionally a decent source of potassium, dietary fiber and vitamin C. You can expect to find pickling cucumbers at most weekly Santa Barbara certified farmers markets from several farmers. Certified organic are available. Price averages $3 per pound.

ith a heat wave rolling through California this week, it is important to find ways to stay hydrated. Of course, keeping up with water intake is the most important, but there is also a long list of fresh produce that can assist in the task. Some items, such as lettuce and bell peppers, may seem less obvious as being at the top of the list, but each yields more than 90% water content. Strawberries, oranges, peaches, cantaloupe, cucumbers, celery, tomatoes and zucchini are also very high on the list. And, at about 92% water content and likely the most obvious on the list, fresh watermelon is just starting to emerge and will be readily available in time for the Fourth of July. Watermelon is one of the most hydrating fruits around. It’s also a nutritious addition to our diets. A one cup serving of watermelon delivers our bodies more than a half cup of water, along with dietary fiber and nutrients such as vitamins C and A and magnesium. It is also quite low in calories, providing only 46 calories per cup. Watermelon is also notably rich in powerful antioxidants, including lycopene, which is commonly encountered in red foods. I love the combination of watermelon and lime, and I find

watermelon pairs quite well with seasonal basil, cucumber, and both feta and fresh mozzarella cheese. Whether tossed in a salad or carefully assembled on a skewer, the components converge quite nicely.

Sam Edelman is general manager of the Santa Barbara Certified Farmers Market Association and host of “Farm to Table,” which airs live 9 a.m. Thursdays on KZSB AM 1290. WATERMELON SKEWERS 1 small watermelon, flesh cut into 1 inch cubes 1 bunch fresh basil leaves 1/2 medium red onion, cut into half-inch pieces 10 ounces feta cheese or mozzarella cheese, cut into 1 inch cubes 2 medium Persian style cucumbers, cut into half-inch moon shaped rounds Aged balsamic vinegar Optional: Good quality olive oil Assemble ingredients on a skewer, one at a time. You can repeat for a second layer, but I typically just make a bunch of smaller appetizer skewers. Drizzle the skewers with aged balsamic vinegar. If desired, also drizzle with some good quality olive oil. If you have a flavored olive oil that you like, such as a citrus or herb based oil, those can pair quite nicely. Yield: Makes about 8 servings.

excavation and self-care in her search for meaning,” said Ms. Moulton, an assistant professor in the UCSB art department. The “Pink Tower” bears references to the local community, having been filmed in and around the UCSB campus. “Cynthia finds herself trapped in a pink tower (inspired by UCSB’s Storke Tower) solving riddles in an attempt to escape. Cynthia’s efforts mirror those of Saint Barbara, namesake of this city, a 3rd-century Christian saint whose endeavors to escape her pagan father, and jailor, led to her beheading,” said Ms. Moulton. In “The Invisible Seventh is the Mystic Column,” which was shot and edited by Ms. Moulton while in quarantine at her apartment in Goleta, Cynthia turns her attention to exercise and breathing techniques in an attempt to counteract vulnerability. “However, she is betrayed, inhaling invasive home decor objects, similar in shape and size to human organs, which take up residence in her body. This is a work that will continue to evolve throughout the course of the exhibition, and the finale will be revealed at a reception on July 23 when I perform live with the video,” said Ms. Moulton, who earned her bachelor’s degree in

art and anthropology from UC Berkeley and her master of fine arts degree from Carnegie Mellon University. She has shown her work extensively in the U.S. and internationally, including solo shows at the Palais De Tokyo in Paris, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, Art in General in New York, the Zabludowicz Collection in London, Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg and Museum of Contemporary Art in Cleveland. Ms. Moulton has performed at the Museum of Modern Art, New Museum of Contemporary Art, The Kitchen in New York, Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and many others. Her work has been featured in Artforum, the New York Times, ArtReview, Art in America, Flash Art, Artpress, Metropolis M, BOMB Magazine and Frieze, among others. email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

Diversions horoscope • puzzles

Horoscope.com Thursday, June 17, 2021

ARIES — Today you can expect to be more enterprising in your human relationships, Aries. You may find new friends or enjoy quality time with old ones. It’s likely that your love life will intensify. The next few weeks provide excellent resources for improving your emotional wellbeing. Take advantage of it. TAURUS — The past month has allowed you to affirm yourself, Taurus, and cement some aspects of your personality. You’re now entering a period of consolidation. It’s like you conceived a product, created it, and are now finally ready to put it on the market. The current period indicates that you will receive all of the rewards that your hard work has earned. GEMINI — Today heralds the beginning of a very agreeable period. You will be especially happy, Gemini! You will project confidence, clarity, and charisma wherever you go. You used up a lot of your reserves during the last few months. You’ve made it to this stage just in time. Certainly you’ll agree that this is something to be celebrated! CANCER — Cancer, this would be a good moment to get rid of anything that still stands between you and achieving your goals. A certain obstacle might be sparking the impulse you have to blend into the background. Don’t forget that you’re an individual. This isn’t something to be overcome. It should be celebrated! LEO — The signs say that you can expect a very profitable few weeks ahead, Leo. You’ve worked hard lately, and it’s only natural that you have finally arrived at this stage. You’re going to be able to measure the distance you’ve come and evaluate your power. Whatever you do, don’t think small! VIRGO — The cosmos will ask you to make more of an effort, Virgo. To do so means you will have to come back down to Earth and join the rest of us mere mortals. You may be cultivating your independence a bit too much. You seem to be pulling away from people. You should try to mix more and get involved in a cause that’s bigger than you. Accept working with others as a necessary component of your life. Monday, November 2015 LIBRA — A quest16, is in store for you, Libra. You’re likely to

engage in a search for physical or intellectual space. You may be asking yourself philosophical questions. Or perhaps you’re thinking of taking a long trip. Which will it be? Will you read philosophy or go to China? At this point, only the stars know. SCORPIO — In navigating your emotional life, Scorpio, you may feel you’ve made a great effort in the past month. You’ve been available and conciliatory, and done your best to maintain harmony. Your efforts have paid off. Now you feel a yen for more spontaneity. It seems that the enterprising and reckless you has returned! Go ahead - you deserve this release after all of your disciplined effort. SAGITTARIUS — Sagittarius, the cosmic signs indicate that your emotional universe will once again glow with positive energy. You will meet more people, and your encounters are likely to be profoundly gratifying, emotionally and intellectually. All told, the coming month is wonderfully promising for you. Two key things to anticipate are pleasure and sensuality. CAPRICORN — For you, Capricorn, the next few weeks portend a period of timidity. You will probably go out less, introduce yourself to fewer new people, and be less prone to showing off. But any relationships you do form will be much more intense than usual. The month ahead is quite promising, though you may have to readjust some of your attitudes. AQUARIUS — You may have spent the past few weeks exploring other horizons, Aquarius, meeting new people, going out more frequently, or taking short trips. But there’s a significant change of rhythm in the air. You will settle down and bask in the comfort of your home. You will find that you have just the incentive you need to stabilize yourself for a while. Expect some pleasurable moments in the domestic realm. PISCES — You’re likely to enjoy a change in the rhythm and quality of life, beginning right now, Pisces. Do you feel a need to take your friendships beyond superficiality? Perhaps you should reestablish contact with some past friends. After a hiatus, you may have some bonds to repair. You can expect another period devoted to sweeping the cobwebs out of your emotional life and letting in light and promise.

Codeword is a fun game with simple rules, and a great way to test your knowledge of the English language. Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT PROPOSED TRUST ACQUISITION OF VOLKS PROPERTY Notice is hereby given that the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA), dated June 2021, which analyzes the environmental impacts of the proposed trust acquisition of two parcels encompassing a total of approximately 0.51 acres (the site), by the United States for the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians (Tribe). This proposed federal action would result in the demolition of the existing structure on the site and development of that site into a parking lot to serve the adjoining Chumash Museum and Cultural Center. The site is located north of State Route 246, west of Edison Street, and south of Numancia Street at the entrance of downtown Santa Ynez in Santa Barbara County. The purpose of the proposed action is to provide additional parking to adequately serve the neighboring project, the Chumash Museum and Cultural Center, and thereby allowing the project to operate efficiently. Based on the analysis and impacts in the EA, any input received during this public review period, and the entire administrative record, the BIA will decide whether to reach a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI), direct further work on the EA, or initiate the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement. A draft, unsigned FONSI has been prepared and is available for review along with the EA. The EA and unsigned FONSI are available for review on the internet at ChumashVolksEA.com and on the BIA NEPA Tracker website: https://bianepatracker2.doi.gov/ (Search: Volks). Copies of the EA and unsigned FONSI are also available for public review at the Solvang Library, which is currently open to the public, and located at 1745 Mission Drive in Solvang, CA 93463. No further action will be taken on the environmental process for at least 30 days after the publication of this notice.

City College receives largest donation ever MacKenzie Scott gives school $20 million By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Santa Barbara City College has received an unrestricted gift of $20 million from MacKenzie Scott. It is the largest gift in the college’s history. Ms. Scott, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ ex-wife, donated more than $2.7 billion to 276 organizations, which she named in a blog post Tuesday. City College and its foundation announced that the Santa Barbara college was among the recipients. “Higher education is a proven pathway to opportunity, so we looked for two- and fouryear institutions successfully educating students who come from communities that have been chronically underserved,” Ms. Scott wrote in her blog. City College expressed its appreciation. “I would like to thank MacKenzie Scott for the trust that has been placed in us. This visionary gift could not have come at a better time, as we are embarking on the creation of our new Educational Master Plan,” Dr. Utpal K. Goswami, the college’s superintendent and president, said in a news release. “These funds will empower us to implement transformational initiatives that will shape our community college of the future and provide the margin of excellence that we seek.” The SBCC Foundation partners with donors to provide more services and programs to students. “Our reason for being has to do with helping the next generation acquire the skills and knowledge about the world in which they

will live and work so as to be fully successful in life,” Dr. Peter Haslund, president of the Santa Barbara Community College District Board of Trustees, said. “This task requires the full dedication of our faculty and staff who, on a daily basis, exercise the creativity and professional expertise required to make this happen. “When someone outside our City College community recognizes the significance of what we do and offers to provide a truly generous helping hand, it creates a marvelous opportunity to celebrate and to express our heart-felt gratitude.” SBCC Foundation CEO Geoff Green also expressed gratitude for the recognition. “A gift of this size makes an unequivocal statement that our community’s college is worthy of this level of investment, and that the work of our faculty, staff and students is recognized,” he said. “Our hope is that it will serve as a signal to other donors and highlight the fact that community colleges are perhaps the best tool we have for increasing social and economic mobility, addressing long-standing inequalities in our communities and ensuring that all members of our community have access to a life-changing education.” Ms. Scott described her gifts as a “symbol of trust and encouragement.” “I would be remiss if I did not recognize the good work of our faculty and staff which brought us to where we are today,” Dr. Goswami said. “This gift will energize us to pursue our passion to serve all students.” email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Organizations provide meals, concerts to kids By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Local schools, city governments and nonprofits collaborate annually to keep children fed during the summer. They even make it fun with the Summer Meal Concert Series, supported by No Kid Hungry. There are almost 50 locations with meals served to-go for children 18 and under. Families can text “SUMMERFOOD” to 877877 to find their nearest meal site. There are seven meal concerts this summer, and three are held today. Youth musicians and DJs will entertain the kids as they grab nutritious meals, and local radio stations are broadcasting the events live as well. Public figures such as U.S. Rep.

Continued from Page A1 News-Press. “You have parents, you have teachers, you have teachers unions, you have the children and students, so there are a lot of stakeholders … so that’s why guidance for schools takes a little longer to develop.” Dr. Ansorg said a big factor that will likely impact masking policy in schools is the progress of vaccine trials for children 2 and older. Currently, both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are undergoing clinical trials for young children and babies, and Dr. Ansorg said he expects emergency approval for these vaccines to be issued by October. With children under the age of 12 making up about 15% of Santa Barbara County’s population, approval of the vaccine for young children could make a big

Though state guidance on masking in schools is still pending, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is expected to release updated guidance for the 2021-22 school year in the coming weeks. But for now, the guidance remains unchanged. Masks are required in school buildings for all people, whether they are fully vaccinated or not. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com
