Zero tolerance for illegal drugs City Net director explains policy for housing the homeless, says limits will be placed on alcohol By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

No illegal drug use will be allowed at temporary housing for homeless individuals at Rose Garden Inn on upper State Street, according to the City Net executive director. Brad Fieldhouse talked to the News-Press about that as he discussed the possible implications for the neighborhood. In addition to the zero tolerance on illegal drug use, the executive director said only minimal amounts of alcohol will be permitted at the site. Mr. Fieldhouse made his comments at a time when City Net workers are contacting homeless people at fire-prone encampments and informing them that temporary housing is available for them. Truckloads of items are being removed from the Highway 101 corridor in the interest of preventing any future wildfires in Santa Barbara — like the Loma Fire in mid-May that engulfed a large portion of the Mesa hillside. After the fire, the Santa Barbara City Council put the wheels in motion and approved temporary housing at the Rose Garden Inn. During the News-Press

interview, Mr. Fieldhouse discussed concerns about drug use. “We don’t do needle exchanges. I’ve heard all these rumblings — not going to happen,” Mr. Fieldhouse told the News-Press Wednesday. “... Illegal drug use would cause them to get kicked out of the program.” The nonprofit leader referenced the concept of “harm reduction,” which is a national set of

strategies and ideas aimed at reducing negative consequences associated with drug use. The concept is designed to make the transition into eventual, permanent housing less jarring for homeless people who are suffering from an addiction. Harm reduction is a movement for social justice built on a belief in, and respect for, the rights Please see HOMELESS on A4

Former SB Symphony conductor honored for societal contributions The Carnegie Corporation of New York, one of the nation’s oldest grantmaking foundations, recognized a former conductor of the Santa Barbara Symphony this past Fourth of July. Uruguay immigrant Gisèle BenDor was one of 34 naturalized citizens who received the “Great Immigrant, Great American” award, which celebrates the many ways in which immigrants enrich culture, strengthen democracy and improve society through their lives, work and examples. “Being a woman conductor may not be normal to the outside world, but it’s normal to me,” Ms. Ben-Dor told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency once. “I must say that since I came to the United States, I have been given every opportunity, and I hope I deserve it.” Ms. Ben-Dor was born to Polish immigrants and asked her parents to let her use the family piano at age 3 in Uruguay. She studied piano and taught herself how to play guitar. After finishing high school in Uruguay, she moved to Israel and then the United States, when she became an American citizen in the year 2000.

County sees uptick in COVID-19 positivity rate By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The number of COVID-19 tests administered in Santa Barbara County has been decreasing over the past three months, even while some events like graduations and Hawaiian vacations require a negative test or vaccination card. According to the California Department of Public Health, the county’s seven-day test-positivity rate is at 1.9% — almost orange-tier

level (though the state’s tier system ended June 15). The numbers are better than in September, when the county saw a reprieve from the first wave and residents were getting tested at the same rate as they are now. But people are still getting sick and/or hospitalized. The case rate, which was at 0.9 per 100,000 people at the end of May, is now 1.5 cases per 100,000. On Wednesday, the Santa Barbara County Public Health

Department reported 14 new COVID-19 cases, and there are 51 cases still infectious countywide. In total, Public Health has recorded 34,703 cases. Santa Barbara accounted for five cases Wednesday, and it has 14 active cases. There have been a cumulative 6,527 cases in Santa Barbara. Lompoc detected two cases and has nine cases still infectious. It now has a total of 3,858 cases. Santa Maria also counted two

cases, bumping its total to 11,666 cases, of which 11 are active. The unincorporated area of the Goleta Valley and Gaviota reported one case. It has 1,237 cases, of which three are still infectious. The geographic locations of two daily cases are pending. There are 11 patients with COVID-19 in Santa Barbara County hospitals, and three of those patients are in critical care. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Horses and their riders line up in ASB Saddle and Bridle Shatner Western Country Pleasure. Riders travel from surrounding states to compete in Santa Barbara.

SHOW

Continued from Page A1 can really see what’s happening.” With the improvements to the arenas,, Earl Warren can entice large shows to its facilities, he said — which means more revenue for the showgrounds. Prior to the improvements, Santa Barbara was at risk of losing its equestrian shows. “The facility was getting in such disrepair and neglect that people were now not booking events here and going elsewhere with their events,” Mr. Bennett said. Equine Evac installed new “footing,” or the specialty sand blend the horses trot on, in the stadium and three arenas. It also improved drainage. For horses, this is a huge change. When the dirt becomes too hard, like the previous footing, they risk injury.

“The new footing has made a huge difference for the horses as well as the performance for the riders,” Mr. Bennett said. Perhaps the most cosmetic change, which also serves a function in competition, is the new fencing surrounding the arenas. The fencing is movable, allowing large equipment to get in. The speaker system also received a major upgrade, and the judges’ booths were renovated for COVID-19 precautions. But $600,000 into the project, Equine Evac isn’t finished. Next, it will renovate the barns. Despite having “a long way to go,” said Equine Evac Vice President Ronda Hathaway, it feels amazing to see the Santa Barbara National Horse Show back again. There are 11 barns, each with 40 stalls, that need new doors and exterior repair. But replacing 440 doors and lots of siding is not

cheap. Equine Evac has received estimates of around $75,000 to $100,000 per barn. “The facility was built in the ’50s, and the horses have been hard on the facilities. They chew on things and kick things,” Ms. Hathaway said. Some stables spruce up their dedicated stalls during competition, adding seating areas or even putting tent-like coverings over the front of the stalls. The Equine Evac project encompasses the horse facilities, which houses animals in natural disasters such as wildfires. The grounds also serve residents in times of emergency. Earl Warren was recently used for information and supply distribution in case of a power shutoff. “The facility is not only about the equestrian center. Earl

Warren, as far as I’m concerned, is a jewel of the city. It needs to be a self-sustaining facility,” Ms. Hathaway said. She hopes Equine Evac’s work will prompt more shows and the renovation of the whole property. “It’s a place that everybody has very fond memories of,” Mr. Bennett said, He showed horses at Earl Warren when he was young and now his grandchildren do. “I hear those stories every time we do a horse show here. So it has a lot of history, a lot of nostalgia to it,” he said. The show has events daily through Saturday. For more information, visit jinglebellhorseshow.com/santa_ barbara_national.

“Being a woman conductor may not be normal to the outside world, but it’s normal to me,” Gisèle Ben-Dor, former Santa Barbara Symphony conductor, said in reference to receiving an immigrant award. “I must say that since I came to the United States, I have been given every opportunity, and I hope I deserve it.”

AWARD

Continued from Page A1 Ms. Ben-Dor is widely regarded as one of the world’s finest and most dedicated exponents of the Latin American repertoire, and she plays a crucial role in the rejuvenation and promotion of Latin American music. The AmericanIsraeli conductor graduated from the Rubin Academy of Music, Tel Aviv University and the Yale School of Music, also studying with Mendi Rodan in Jerusalem. Her most famous Latin American works include: “Ginastera,” “Villa-Lobos,” “Revueltas,” “Piazzolla” and “Luis Bacalov.” Carnegie New York quoted Vartan Gregorian, the late president of the corporation, upon handing out the awards, saying: “Great immigrants

have come from different backgrounds and have pursued different worthwhile goals, but collectively, they have shared a desire to become citizens and have made our democratic society stronger. For all of their efforts, we salute them.” The Carnegie Corporation of New York celebrates exemplary contributions of immigrants to American life every Fourth of July. The winners have a wide variety of backgrounds and careers. The Great Immigrants initiative reflects the priorities of Andrew Carnegie, a Scottish immigrant who rose from poverty to become a leading industrialist. The 2021 honorees join more than 600 outstanding immigrants honored by the corporation since 2006. email: gmccormick@newspress. com

of people who use drugs, according to the National Harm Reduction Coalition. Mr. Fieldhouse said he knows of local organizations that do needle exchanges, and he said he would support people using clean needles if that’s what they choose to avail themselves to. “You know where the people are coming from, where we’re working with them — they’re coming from encampments. They’re being displaced from where they’re living. This (harm reduction) is a response to that,” he said. While illegal drug use won’t be permitted, tenants will be able to consume alcohol, as long as they are not a danger to themselves or others, Mr. Fieldhouse said. In addition, the executive director said that they must check in with City Net staff and security constantly. The checks are complete with screenings and bag checks. Not requiring sobriety in the facility, he said, is part of harm reduction. “We recognize that these are adults. This is not a jail. These are not minors. In general, people drink. People use things that others may think are not in their best interests,” Mr. Fieldhouse said. “... We use judgment … Anything that would move toward the abuse of those substances that creates ramifications, we manage that on a case-by-case basis.” Some shelters do require sobriety for entry, but he said not this one. As a general rule, he added, “somebody can watch an NBA basketball game and have a beer.” The difference is that it’s “behavior dependent” and not “hard and fast dependent.” Mayor Cathy Murillo pointed out that the

this whole time,” she told the News-Press Wednesday. The Santa Barbara mayor expressed confidence in City Net’s training systems and staffing to ensure any issues are addressed on a case by case basis. She said in light of pushback for various reasons, she stands by the program at the Rose Garden Inn. “People are questioning the money that we’re spending, and my response is that there’s not enough shelter beds. We don’t have enough shelters,” she said. “There’s not enough transitional housing. That’s what this program is. It’s a place for people to land when we move them from an encampment. This is the way that we are handling this very challenging problem, and it is costing money.” Mayor Murillo added that five truckloads of items were removed from the Highway 101 onramp near the Department of Motor Vehicles, and Caltrans now has a policy of removing vegetation or trees that create screening for camps. Caltrans is also adding reinforced fencing and other structural changes to discourage people from setting up camp. Mr. Fieldhouse added that 19 individuals have moved into the Rose Garden Inn so far. The period for the housing is 120 days, which started July 5. He added that the team is “just getting everything dialed in,” but they are in the process of getting the rest of the rooms — the remaining 31 rooms — filled. “People can see for themselves how it’s cleared out,” Mayor Murillo said. “We have asked Caltrans to reconfigure those areas to discourage camping.”

Poblano peppers

MARVEL STUDIOS PHOTOS

Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson), aka the Black Widow, struggles with her past and faces the present — at least the “present” between “Captain America: Civil War” and “Avengers: Infinity War” — in “Black Widow.”

‘Black Widow’ has arrived

Shiny, dark green poblano peppers are just beginning to emerge for the season. They’re readily available at our local farmers markets from several farmers through the summer and fall. The heat level can really vary from mild to medium, which is often difficult to discern from the pepper’s appearance. Generally, the peppers are not nearly as hot as a jalapeño pepper. This week I blistered my poblano peppers on the grill, peeled the skin and stuffed them with a mixture of grilled corn, cheese and fresh cilantro for the Fix of the Week on B2. Topped with some cherry tomato salsa, this is one of my favorite summer preparations. Certified organic peppers are available. Price averages $3 per pound.

After ‘Avengers: End Game,’ Marvel Studios focuses on personal stories such as tonight’s long-awaited story By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

he deaths of Marvel Comics characters doesn’t mean you’ve seen the last of them. In fact, a hero’s or villain’s demise can set the stage for something even more intriguing, especially on the small or big screen. Consider Vision (Paul Bettany), the heroic android killed in “Avengers: Infinity War” (2018). He came back in an entertaining and profound way as a sudden sitcom dad in Disney+’s “WandaVision” series. Or think of Loki (Tom Hiddleston), the villainous god of mischief from Asgard who died in “Infinity War.” That death didn’t stop him from getting his own series this summer on Disney+ as a time variant. Now it’s Black Widow’s turn for a resurrection of sorts. Agent Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) sacrificed her life to help save the universe — or at least one-half of all sentient life, not a small feat — in “Avengers: End Game” (2019). That left fans immediately missing her and wanting to see more of Black Widow.

They’ll get their wish tonight. After a pandemic-caused delay, Marvel’s “Black Widow” is being released in theaters. The film’s first screenings will take place this evening at theaters across the U.S., including the Arlington Theatre and Metro 4 in Santa Barbara, Camino Real in Goleta and Regal Edwards Santa Maria & RPX. And starting Friday, “Black Widow” is available for premium subscribers to Disney+. To resurrect Natasha, Marvel placed “Black Widow” between “Captain America: Civil War” (2016) and “Avengers: Infinity War,” which proved an easy way to get around Natasha’s untimely death in “End Game.” Natasha has been portrayed brilliantly since Ms. Johansson first appeared as the character in “Iron Man 2” (2010). Tonight in “Black Widow,” Natasha faces the darker parts of her ledger. It’s a troubled past that Natasha first discussed in “Marvel’s Avengers” (2012), which, in this writer’s opinion, is tied with “End Game” as the best “Avengers” film. “Black Widow” examines Natasha’s history as a spy and her broken relationships before she became an Avenger. At the same time, in the “present” (again

FYI “Black Widow” makes its debut tonight at the Arlington Theatre and Metro 4 in Santa Barbara, Camino Real in Goleta and Regal Edwards Santa Maria & RPX. See metrotheatres.com and regmovies.com. Starting Friday, “Black Widow” is streaming on Disney+ for subscribers paying the premium fee. It will become available to all Disney+ subscribers on Oct. 6.

this is between “Civil War” and “End Game”), a force is pursuing Natasha, who has enough problems as a fugitive from justice after “Civil War” and is living in New York City, a favorite location for Marvel movies. Besides Ms. Johansson, “Black Widow” stars Florence Pugh as Natasha’s sister Yelena, David Harbour as Alexei/The Red Guardian and Rachel Weisz as Melina. In an interview on Marvel.com, Ms. Pugh explained Yelena is the “annoying little sister” who says what’s on her mind despite the consequences. But she noted Yelena and Natasha develop a unique friendship and help to heal each other.

Ms. Pugh said “Black Widow” is about women getting their life back. Directed by Cate Shortland and produced by Kevin Feige, the movie is the first one in Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. (Ned Benson wrote the story, and Eric Pearson penned the screenplay.) Anticipation is high for the film. Fandango reported advance ticket sales for “Black Widow” are exceeding those for any other movie this year. There’s little doubt “Black Widow” will be this year’s biggest blockbuster. One reason is Marvel did its homework, developing the character of Natasha carefully from one movie to the next. Marvel, which is owned by Disney, has succeeded artistically and commercially by building continuity. Marvel lured fans by making each movie a chapter in a bigger story involving powerful, infinity stones and the end of half of all sentient life in the universe. “End Game” was a perfect finale to that storyline. It was epic with all the Marvel heroes working together to save the universe from Thanos (Josh Brolin). And it was personal

with Iron Man/Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) sacrificing his life to save the universe and Captain America/Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) getting a second chance at a happy life with Agent Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell). How do you top that? You can’t. Marvel knows better than to try. So instead the studio decided to go with personal stories about heroes other than Iron Man or the original Capt. America. This year, Disney+’s “WandaVision” brilliantly explored Avenger hero Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and her transformation into someone even more magical as she created a fictional sitcom world. But she learns that a studio audience’s laughter can’t drown out the reality in which she lost her boyfriend Vision. She tried to recreate him, but ultimately couldn’t bring him back. Although less entertaining than “WandaVision” (and actually, harder to follow), Disney+’s “Falcon and The Winter Soldier” succeeded in showing the evolution of Sam, aka Falcon (Anthony Mackie), into the next Captain America and his friendship with Please see NATASHA on B2

Organic mixed cherry tomatoes These signature cherry tomato baskets — which are grown, harvested, assembled and sold by Ebby’s Organic Farm of Goleta — make for a fun farmers market find. The combination of colors and flavors really adds a presence to your meals. They can be used to make a cherry tomato salsa, to toss with hot or cold pasta preparations, used to make a cherry tomato bruschetta, or placed onto skewers with peppers and your favorite protein to grill. They are also, of course, excellent in any mixed green salad. You can currently find these certified organic, mixed cherry tomato baskets at the weekly Saturday Santa Barbara, Sunday Camino Real, Tuesday Santa Barbara and Thursday Carpinteria farmers’ markets. Price is $5 per basket.

Yellow donut nectarines Named after its doughnut-like shape, this unusual variety of nectarine is one of the sweetest fruits I have encountered this year. I personally enjoy them slightly on the firmer side, not quite crunchy, but not super soft. Then they can be enjoyed as they come, or you can cut the flesh off from around the small central pit and enjoy them as a side, in a fruit salad or in a smoothie. You will likely not find these yellow doughnut nectarines at the commercial grocery stores, making them a unique farmers’ market find. They’re currently available at most weekly Santa Barbara certified farmers’ markets from several local growers. Price averages $3.50 per pound.

Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johannson) is seen with her sister Yelena (Florence Pugh). Ms. Pugh said the characters help to heal each other in a movie about women getting their life back.

the Winter Soldier/“Bucky” Barnes (Sebastian Stan). The series is consistent with Marvel’s 2021 approach to focus more on individual heroes and, in Loki’s case, a complicated villain who might be evolving into a hero. “Loki” on Disney+ is rivaling “WandaVision” with its imaginative approach to having Loki roam various eras to track down a variant of himself. The series has creative plot twists that leave you guessing about who the real villains and heroes are. Things aren’t as they appear in “Loki.” “Loki” continues Marvel’s current trend on developing specific characters, which is how the Marvel Cinematic Universe began with the first “Iron Man” movie (2008). The epic storyline began with providing insights into Tony Stark, a hero who rises above his flaws.

ocal farmers are harvesting a significant quantity of fresh peppers from their fields. It is now quite common to encounter an abundance of varieties, delivering flavors ranging from super sweet to super spicy, shapes from stumpy to elongated, and flesh walls from thick to thin. Each variety of pepper delivers its individually unique properties that may be better suited for specific recipes, and experimenting with peppers as delicious as these can lead to some new meals your family will greatly enjoy. This past weekend emerged the first sweet red, orange and yellow bell peppers of the year, along with a slew of Italian frying peppers, poblano peppers, jalapeños and serrano chilies. Every summer and fall, one of my favorite peppers to enter the scene are those semi-spicy dark green poblano chilies, which deliver a medium heat level and very crisp finish. Often mistaken for pasilla peppers, poblano peppers are actually larger, making them perfect for stuffing. They also possess slightly thicker fleshed walls than pasilla peppers. When poblano peppers are dried, they are then referred to as ancho chilies, perfect for adding great flavor to your slow-cooked meats, soups, and traditional Mexican-style sauces. Most peppers are exceptional when eaten raw, whether in a salad on a sandwich, or used to dip into your favorite spread. But one of the best ways to enhance the peppers’ flavor and create a nice smooth texture is to blister them. This can be done over a stovetop burner, in the oven or most easily on the grill. Roasting peppers are excellent when served over salads, on a sandwich, used to stuff or to convert into a flavorful sauce. This time of year, one of my favorite meals is a simple stuffed poblano pepper, topped with fresh salsa. You can serve this with your favorite grilled meats or enjoy it all on its own. I will often garnish this dish with a dollop of sour

cream and some sliced avocado. 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. BLISTERED POBLANO PEPPERS WITH CHERRY TOMATO SALSA 4 poblano peppers Corn kernels removed from 1 ear of grilled corn One cup fresh chopped fresh cilantro Salt and pepper to taste 1 cup jack cheese, or something similar For the salsa: 1 basket cherry tomatoes (used mixed color baskets if available), cut in halves or quarters depending on the size. 1 quarter cup red onion, diced ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped Juice from 1 lemon or lime ½ jalapeño pepper, seeds and membrane discarded, finely diced (add more if desired to added heat) Salt to taste Toss all ingredients together until well incorporated. Set aside until ready to serve. Refrigerate if needed. Turn your grill to mediumhigh heat and place peppers on the top rack. Cover and cook for a few minutes, then rotate peppers to their other side. Continue to cook until the peppers are well blistered on all sides. Once cool enough to handle, peel away the blistered skin (you can use paper towels to rub away as well). Cut a slit down the side of the pepper and remove the seed cap within. You can also discard the stem cap as well if desired since that portion is not edible. In a mixing bowl, combine corn kernels, cilantro and cheese. Place an equal amount in each of the peppers’ interior and close the peppers at the slit. Place in a baking dish and cook at 400 degrees for about 5-7 minutes, just enough time to warm them up and melt the cheese. Plate your peppers and top each with your cherry tomato salsa. Yield: 4 peppers.

Diversions horoscope • puzzles

By Dave Green

ARIES — Don’t concern yourself with getting more. Concentrate on what you already have, Aries. Work with whatever resonates within you. You instinctively know what does and doesn’t work. Don’t waste your time on meaningless issues. Focus on priorities. The more balanced and stable your emotions can be today, the more prosperity will come into your life. TAURUS — This is an excellent day for you, Taurus. The farther you extend your emotions, the more prosperous you will be. Don’t be afraid of new things. More than likely, the new things entering your life now will make the most sense later. Trust that your heart knows the direction to take. Be generous with your time and energy. GEMINI — It may seem like people aren’t taking things as seriously as you’d like them to, Gemini. If so, take it as a hint that perhaps you’re the one who needs to lighten up. Life is a game. In the grand scheme of things, we’re merely specks of dust floating in space. Our lives are but the blink of an eye in relation to the universe. Don’t take yourself so seriously. CANCER — Don’t turn down any opportunities today, Cancer, even if they seem like deadends at first. One could be your lucky break. Realize that success doesn’t always have a big neon sign pointing you in the right direction. Prosperity simply comes when you act freely and instinctively. This is one of those days in which an unmarked door could lead you to the path of happiness and health. LEO — It’s time to put your plans in motion, Leo. There’s a very expansive energy urging you to reach out and make valuable connections with others. Remember that many hands make light work. Don’t hesitate to ask for help if you need it. There are many outstretched hands waiting to help you in whatever way you need. VIRGO — Go for the gold, Virgo. Don’t settle for less. There’s an expansive energy on your side urging you on to prosperity in every aspect of your life. Take control of the situation and act on your emotions. Don’t refrain from doing something because you Monday, November 16, 2015 think it’s going to hurt someone’s feelings. Other people can

take care of themselves. You’re responsible for you. Do what’s best for your well-being. LIBRA — The more you vacillate, the more valuable time and energy you waste, Libra. Take a decisive stance and be confident about your choice. Give it everything you’ve got. If it doesn’t work out, try a different approach. Don’t be paralyzed by indecision. Things are moving too quickly. Take control of your life or someone else will. SCORPIO — Arguments could quickly turn into declarations of war today. Things could get blown out of proportion if they aren’t handled with care, Scorpio. The key lessons for you are about balance and communication. Things will move quickly, so make sure you have your seat belt fastened. Let your vivacious spirit lead the way to new adventures. SAGITTARIUS — Your life is taking off in many different directions, Sagittarius. Everything seems to be expanding at once. It may be difficult to get a solid grip on any one thing. Try not to get overwhelmed. Take it one step at a time and remember to maintain a good sense of humor in every situation. Keep things light and energetic. CAPRICORN — This is a great day for you, Capricorn. There’s a terrific feeling of expansion in the air. This is one of those times in which a small germ of an idea can grow into something big right before your eyes. Projects are moving quickly, and information is being rapidly dispersed. Catch the energy and set your dreams in motion. You can accomplish a great deal if you try. AQUARIUS — You may feel like someone caught in a tornado, Aquarius. Things are whirling around you and everything seems out of control. Don’t get stressed out. There’s nothing you can do about it. Allow the storm to do what it will. You will only get hurt if you try to stop it. Accept things you have no control over. The storm will settle down soon. PISCES — It’s time to take charge, Pisces. There’s fuel for your fire, and the scope of your influence is virtually unlimited. Don’t hold back in any way. Confidently attack every project knowing that things will work out in your favor. Expand your mind and the rewards will be tremendous. Stay active. You will attract beneficial people and situations.

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.
