State: Vaccines or testing for all school staff By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

All K-12 school employees will be required to verify vaccination status or undergo weekly testing this fall, according to a new order released by the California Department of Public Health on Wednesday. Citing concerns over the threat the delta variant poses to unvaccinated students, CDPH officials said Wednesday the order is necessary to ensure a safe and full reopening in the fall. California is the first state in the nation to instate this requirement ahead of the 2021-2022 school year. “To give parents confidence that their children are safe as schools return to full, inperson learning, we are urging all school staff to get vaccinated. Vaccinations are how we will

end this pandemic,” Governor Gavin Newsom said in a statement. “As a father, I look forward to the start of the school year and seeing all California kids back in the classroom.” The new order will go into effect today, and school staff are expected to comply by Oct. 15. In a statement, CDPH Director and the state’s Public Health Officer Dr. Tomás J. Aragón said the new order will allow the state to fulfill its commitment of reopening schools this fall. “There’s no substitute for in-person instruction, and California will continue to lead the nation in keeping students and staff safe while ensuring fully open classrooms,” Dr. Aragón said in a statement. “Today’s order will help the state’s continued efforts to increase vaccinations, similar to the orders encouraging state and health care workers and businesses to get vaccinated.”

To show proof of vaccination, school staff can show their physical vaccination card, a photo of the card, documentation of vaccination from a health care provider or a digital record of the card, according to the new order. In turn, those who are not fully vaccinated will be required to undergo testing at least once every week using either PCR or antigen testing. The state will also require that schools comply with a universal masking mandate in all K-12 schools in the fall due to the number of children who remain unvaccinated. While children under 12 are not yet eligible for the vaccine, less than 41% of the state’s eligible 12-to-17-year-olds were fully vaccinated as of Tuesday, according to a CDPH news release. In Santa Barbara County, only 36% of eligible 12-15 year olds were fully vaccinated as of Please see VACCINES on A2

SB father charged with killing children Man allegedly inspired by QAnon, Illuminati conspiracy theories By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A Santa Barbara man was arrested Wednesday after allegedly taking his two young kids to Rosarito, Mexico, and killing them. According to a complaint by a Federal Bureau of Investigation special agent, Matthew Taylor Coleman, 40, believed he was “saving the world from monsters.” He allegedly used a fishing gun to pierce the chests of his 2-yearold son and 10-month-old daughter and disposed of the bodies on the

side of the road. He told investigators he was enlightened by QAnon and Illuminati conspiracies and had been receiving visions that his wife passed “serpent DNA” to his children, according to the federal complaint. His wife initially called Santa Barbara Police officers Saturday. The family had planned to go camping but instead, her husband and kids had left in the family’s van without a car seat. She did not believe the kids or herself were in danger but wanted Please see KILLINGS on A4

Representatives from KBZ Architects and the Santa Barbara Unified School District gathered for a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday afternoon at McKinley Elementary School.

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

As students at McKinley Elementary School start the school year next week, they may notice something different. The new-construction smell may hit them as they walk through the school’s doors, a cue that something exciting happened while they were gone. Administrators, carpenters and designers renovated a previously unusable room into a multipurpose maker space that Santa Barbara Unified School District staff unveiled in a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday. “We’re really looking forward to maximizing the result of all this hard work,” McKinley’s principal Dr. Elena GarciaYoshitomi said. “This will give us space for all of our students to become creative — using all that creativity going from science,

technology, engineering, art, math, and robotics, to energy and electricity.” She envisions a variety of classes in the space, like fiber arts to model-bridge building and more. The district utilized Measure J (2016) funds to make the project a reality. The area is shaped like an “L” with a clear Skyfold door connecting the two legs. The larger side could fit two classes whereas the smaller room could fit one. A hallway with bathrooms and cabinetry is attached. The space is equipped with ethernet ports every few feet, so devices such as 3D printers can be directly connected to the internet. Large televisions with built-in overhead sound will aid teachers’ presentations. The project’s designers at KBZ Architects said the largest

He said the contributions by the Guardians and Airmen are “vital to our nation’s security. “These test launches verify the accuracy and reliability of the ICBM weapon system, providing valuable data to ensure a continued safe, secure and effective nuclear deterrent,” Col. Long said in a news release.

City Council denies appeal, allows MarBorg to build storage NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

MarBorg Industries is closer to building a 3,151-square-foot storage facility at 2 S Quarantina Street after the Santa Barbara City Council denied an appeal challenging the project’s coastal development permit Tuesday night. Discussions were contentious as Guy Dolev, who works a block over, directed council members to look at all of MarBorg’s nearby operations. Natasha Todorovic presented Mr. Dolev’s case for an appeal. She referred to 2 S Quarantina Street as the “closet” whereas the neighborhood is a house, implying all the parcels work together. “The interdependencies between these different businesses, and the fact that all of this is owned by the same family with common interest is what brings this all together,” she said. She presented photographs of dust filling the air above the block, concerned about air pollution. General Counsel for MarBorg Industries Robert Forouzandeh called the allegations “blatantly false.” “Mr. Dolev has been waging this battle, this war for the last five years on anybody who is doing industrial use in that neighborhood,” he said. Counsel was already well-acquainted with the appellant and had a slide prepared with an image of Mr. Dolev’s office building.

Mr. Dolev complained that MarBorg does not adequately provide parking for its employees. Then, other workers in the area struggle to find a place to park. The project adds seven new parking spaces. (Six new spaces are mandated by code.) Mr. Forouzandeh showed photos of empty spaces outside of Mr. Dolev’s building as well as other blocks in the area. But some public commenters think the images are deceiving. “I have feared for my life twice now because I have to park so far from my office,” Melissa Ginzel said. “None of you know what it’s like to work on Quarantina Street.” The area is between two homeless shelters, leading to a higher concentration of homeless individuals. “We’re talking about a city that is dependent upon tourism… And literally in the middle of everything, we have a garbage dump. We also have multiple homeless shelters,” Evan Stanfield, a neighboring business owner said. “Look, we need MarBorg; we need trash clean up; we need all that stuff,” he said. “We don’t need it behind one of the most popular resorts in Santa Barbara, right next to the Funk Zone, right next to the family fun park.” The current lot is unsightly, bare with uneven utility poles. The new development will allow for better drainage, buried utilities and won’t obstruct sightlines. Portable restrooms, soap, trucks and other equipment will be stored on-site, but cleaning and processing occurs in another facility. “This project is so suited for that parcel it’s unbelievable we’re at this point today,” Greg

Marek, owner of a neighboring multi-tenant property, said. Members of City Council did not seem excited to deny the appeal, therefore keeping MarBorg’s plan approved. Council was only allowed to make its decision based on the project at hand. “We’ve all been in this difficult position where our neighbors are not going to like this particular project, but the project has met all the requirements,” Councilmember Alejandra Gutierrez said. “It is very difficult to tell someone who owns a piece of land what they can’t do if they’ve met all the city requirements.” She acknowledged the area has “a lot of issues.” Mayor Pro Tempore Oscar Gutierrez, who designated that he was receiving unsolicited text messages from the appellant, also recognized the neighborhood’s problems. “MarBorg’s been there for 100 years and even before they started their business there, the area was known as the city’s dumping ground.,” he said. “I’ve gone face to face with each one of (the business owners) and told them that’s not a good place to run their business, and they ask me then where?” The parcel is located in a light manufacturing zone. The Architectural Board of Review turned away the project’s initial drawings and approved a design in June of 2020.

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department reported 157 new cases of COVID19 on Wednesday and no new deaths. Officials reported 35 new cases in Santa Maria, 30 new cases in Santa Barbara and the unincorporated area of Mission Canyon, 26 new cases in Lompoc and the communities of Mission Hills and Vandenberg Village and 14 cases in Goleta. Thirteen new cases were reported in Orcutt, seven were reported in the north county unincorporated areas of Sisquoc, Casmalia, Garey, Cuyama and New Cuyama and the City of Guadalupe, seven were reported in the unincorporated Goleta Valley and Gaviota, six were reported in Isla Vista and five were reported in the South Coast unincorporated area of Summerland, Montecito and the City of Carpinteria. Four cases were pending on Wednesday.

The Santa Barbara Health Care Center will host a vaccination event on Friday in celebration of National Health Centers Week. The clinic will be held from 9 a.m. to noon at 345 Camino Del Remedio and will offer the vaccine and free nutritional counseling. The new cases brought the county’s active case total to 656 cases still infectious on Wednesday. According to the Public Health Department’s dashboard, cases are up 84% over a previous two-week average of 85 new cases per day. Both unvaccinated and vaccinated county residents are being infected with the virus, though unvaccinated individuals account for the majority of cases. According to data from Aug. 6, the daily case rate among the unvaccinated population is 25.4 per 100,000, while the daily case rate among the vaccinated population is 6.9 per 100,000. On Wednesday, 39 people were hospitalized

with COVID-19, and nine of those patients were recovering in the ICU. As of Tuesday, 62.8% of the county’s eligible 12 and older population was fully vaccinated, and 71.4% had received at least one dose. Of the entire county population, 53.1% were fully vaccinated as of Tuesday. Starting this week, visitors to Lompoc Valley Medical Center and the Comprehensive Care Center will be required to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test in order to enter. This is in accordance with a new state order that was released last week.

Many colleges, universities also unveiling vaccine requirements Tuesday. The new requirement for school staff joins a list of measures enacted by the state in recent weeks to slow the surge of the highly transmissible delta variant. Within the last three weeks, the state released new orders requiring all state workers to verify vaccine status, unveiled a new vaccine mandate for all health care workers and enacted a new requirement that requires hospital visitors to provide proof of vaccination. While the new state order released Wednesday does not apply to staff involved in higher education, multiple colleges and universities across Santa Barbara County are unveiling their own vaccine requirements in an effort to keep students safe. On Tuesday, the Allan Hancock College Board of Trustees voted unanimously to instate

In addition to schools, local City Councils across the county have also begun instituting vaccine verification systems, testing requirements and/or mask mandates for their staff. On Monday, the City of Goleta announced that it would require all city employees to verify vaccination status or undergo weekly testing to prevent the spread of COVID-19. “Vaccines are the best way to bring our employees back into the workplace while keeping our workforce and their families safe,” Kristy Schmidt, the Goleta assistant city manager, told the News-Press in a statement. “The best way to reduce the risk that unvaccinated employees will bring an illness into the workplace is to require weekly COVID testing and masking. Bottom line is we want to do everything we can to keep our co-workers, their families and our community safe and healthy, especially considering the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant.”

A similar requirement could be coming for Santa Barbara city employees, Mayor Cathy Murillo told the News-Press on Wednesday. According to the mayor, the city is weighing a vaccine mandate for employees but is “moving slowly” on the implementation process because of pending Food and Drug Administration approval of the vaccines and the state’s ongoing discussions over whether a vaccine mandate should be required for first responders. If the state would require vaccination for first responders, this would impact the City’s fire and police departments. “For now, we are working with our public employees to come to an agreement,” Ms. Murillo said. “We would rather work with our employees rather than impose something on them when people still have questions.” “Of course, I encourage all employees to get vaccinated,” she continued. “I’m vaccinated. It’s the right thing to do for the community and for your family and for yourself.”

a vaccine mandate ahead of the fall semester. Students will be required to provide proof of vaccination as a condition for entering campus buildings, attending in-person classes or using a college service off-campus. To incentivize the vaccine, the college is offering $250 gift cards to all students who provide proof of full vaccination. “Allan Hancock College remains committed to protecting the health and wellbeing of students, faculty, staff, administrators, and the community we serve, as well as maintaining higher education access and attainment for our students,” said Allan Hancock College Superintendent/ President Kevin G. Walthers in a statement. “The current state of the pandemic calls for the need to vaccinate our college population, and the college will support and implement the Board’s decision to mandate vaccinations.” Both SBCC and UCSB have adopted similar vaccine mandates going into the fall semester.

Conversations continue over proposed In-N-Out in Buellton By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Following last week’s board presentation, the Buellton Planning Commission is continuing its discussion with an applicant who has submitted conceptual plans for an In-N-Out location to be built in the city. Last week, the board reviewed the conceptual plans for the franchise during a regular meeting. The plans, which were submitted by Andrew Gharibian, propose a new drive-thru InN-Out location be built at 515 McMurray Road — the site of the old Parks Plaza Theater. According to the conceptual plans, the theater would be demolished, and in its place, a 3,800 square foot building and outdoor area would be built. These plans are only preliminary at this point, as Mr. Gharibian has not submitted an official application to the Planning Commission. Last week’s meeting was only meant to get feedback from both the commission and members of the public. During the public comment period of the meeting, it became clear that the public is largely divided over the new establishment. Some are in favor of the fast food chain making its way to Buellton, while others are concerned about the traffic it could bring to the already crowded intersection off of Highway 246. “We’ve had mixed comments,”

Cara Meche, an assistant planner with the Buellton Planning Commission told the News-Press. “On our Facebook page there’s been lots of comments, and we had about 13 or so public comments come in in writing. The issues that we’re hearing from the public are mostly related to traffic, noise and odor.” Ms. Meche said the commission is still in discussion with Mr. Gharibian regarding next steps, and at this point, she said it’s uncertain whether a formal application will come to fruition. She said the commission will likely meet with Mr. Gharibian within the next week to discuss comments from the public. If an application is submitted, Ms. Meche said Planning Commission staff will have 30 days to review the project and consider what needs to be done in order to align the project with City standards. Looking over the project, staff could determine that a traffic study, noise study or environmental study could be needed in order to complete the application, Ms. Meche said. If the applicant files a formal application, it’s not certain how long it will take for the project to be approved, Ms. Meche added. “We might be looking at a minimum of six months, and then we’ve seen other projects take over a year to get a complete application,” Ms. Meche said.

On one hand, she said she would be sad to see the Parks Plaza Theater go, but on the other hand, the new franchise has a chance to bring economic prosperity to the region. “It does breed jobs,” Ms. Vreeland said. “It’ll be a great economic driver for the city as well so all of that benefits the city financially and benefits the kids looking for jobs.” “I see social media and hear different comments from people, and some are very excited for it and others are not so sure,” she added.

things, collaboration and project management. We call it maker spaces — because they’re gonna want to make the future,” he said. The upcoming school year will be McKinley students’ second year of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) education. It will be the school’s first year with all kindergarteners enrolled in dual-language-immersion study. The program utilizes an area’s native Spanish speakers and teaches all subjects 90% in Spanish and 10% in English during kindergarten and adds more English each year. “I’m so excited to hear my English-only students speak Spanish,” Dr. Garcia-Yoshitomi said. “I’m ready to hear a student that doesn’t speak Spanish at home going home and teaching

or reading in Spanish to their siblings. Like, this is just going to be amazing.” She is also excited to see kids in the maker space, working on STEAM projects, while speaking Spanish. “So when students are learning collaboration in a dual-language environment, in addition to expression in other modalities, our students are going to have that advantage,” she said. “You have Amazon offices in Panama. You have Google in Paris. Our students are going to be able to excel in those competitive spaces.” This will be her third year as principal at McKinley. When asked if the ideas are ambitious she responded, “Our students deserve us to be ambitious for them.” Santa Barbara Unified’s first day of school is next Tuesday. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Man alleged to have taken children to Mexico to kill them KILLINGS

Continued from Page A1 the officer to call Mr. Coleman. SBPD Officer Michael Chung followed up Sunday evening. He instructed her to use the “Find My iPhone” application to locate her husband, and the phone had last registered to an open-air marketplace in Rosarito. SBPD engaged the FBI and U.S. Border Patrol in the case, and they waited for Mr. Coleman to cross into the United States. He reached the border at 1 p.m. Monday, and Customs and Border Protection officers noticed what appeared to be blood on his

vehicle’s registration paperwork. There were no other occupants in the vehicle. Law enforcement in Rosarito found the bodies of two children that morning. Mr. Coleman later identified and initialed photographs taken at the scene of the discovery. Judge Jacqueline Chooljian of the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles detained Mr. Coleman during his first court appearance Wednesday afternoon. Arraignment is set for Aug. 31. The Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office assisted in the investigation. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

MFA recipients create new exhibit at Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara

Diverse and ‘Unending’

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

A

rt can be “Unending.” That’s the point of an exhibit by that name, which will be displayed Aug. 21 to Sept. 12 at the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara, upstairs at Paseo Nuevo. The exhibit features the work of the UCSB Master of Fine Arts 2020 Cohort. The art varies from photography to sculptures, installation, videos and paintings. The artists are Serene Blumenthal, Kio Griffith, Megan Koth, Marshall Sharpe, Thomas Stoeckinger and David Wesley White. Their creations originally were meant to be the culmination of the artists’ work for their MSA degrees in the summer of 2020. For the exhibit, the artists have created a new vision based on personal and cultural cycles of grief and transformation, according to a news release from the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara. The museum went on to note the exhibit is taking place after the “rare full-halt” the world has experienced because of the pandemic. “This exhibition showcases the collapse of time, tradition and production, culminating in something more slowly realized and returned to,” according to the museum. Here’s some background on the artists, all of whom earned their MFA last year at UCSB.

Shishito peppers These petite elongated peppers average about 3 inches in length, and at first glance, they don’t look all that impressive. However, once the peppers are blistered in a hot pan and seasoned with salt, you will quickly realize why they have become so popular over the years. Many of our local chefs have been loading up on shishito peppers, which are originally from Japan, at our Saturday Santa Barbara and Wednesday Solvang farmers’ markets. The peppers are sold by farmers Fred Ormonde and Rudy Domingo. This week I prepared blistered shishito peppers as the Fix of the Week on the next page. Price averages $8 per pound or $3 per basket.

Dragon tongue beans If you tried to imagine what a dragon’s tongue might look like, something similar to these fresh beans might come to mind. These large flat beans possess splashes of yellow and purple across their cream to light yellow pods. The color tends to dissipate the longer they are cooked. Add them to a salad, stirfry or as a substitute in most recipes that call for standard green beans. They are an excellent source of protein and fiber, and they provide vitamins A, C and K, potassium, selenium, iron, folate, manganese and calcium.

Raw peanuts Have you ever tried a freshly dug raw peanut right out of the ground and brought to market? If not, I highly recommend you visit Her Family Farm and Moua Family Farm at the Saturday Santa Barbara and Sunday Camino Real (Goleta) farmers’ markets. Enjoyed both raw and cooked, they can be tossed in a salad, added to a stir-fry and even roasted inthe shell. A common technique is to boil peanuts in salted water and enjoy them as a peel-and-eat appetizer. I personally enjoy them shelled, then simmered in a coconut-curry style preparation along with seasonal vegetables and thai basil. Price averages $6 per pound.

distinctly recall my first encounter with shishito peppers about 20 years ago. These tiny green elongated peppers were piled in a large wicker basket at the stand for Bill and Barbara Spencer’s Windrose Farm, incredible farmers who no longer participate in our Santa Barbara market. The peppers were about the same size and shape as my pinky finger. I wasn’t quite sure how to approach them, but as with most new encounters at farmers’ markets over the years, I was eager to learn the best preparation techniques. Over the past couple of decades, I have been thoroughly enjoying these peppers through the summer and fall and still use the same simple process for cooking them in my kitchen that I learned from Bill and Barbara. When it comes to preparing some tasty shishito peppers, all you need is a hot pan, olive oil and salt. If you have some garlic and fresh cracked pepper nearby, great, but the peppers don’t require much to be a true standout. Blistered to perfection, shishito peppers are enjoyed right off the stem. You consume the flesh and seeds in unison, with just the tiny stem portion discarded. Serve these peppers as a side dish alongside a nice steak or your favorite barbecued meat, or as a nice appetizer to enjoy before the main dish. The slightly smoky presence, smooth texture, with mild peppery notes will have your friends and family diving in for more.

BLISTERED SHIHITO PEPPERS 1 pound shishito peppers, rinsed and dried 2 tablespoons olive oil ½ teaspoon salt (or just add slowly to taste and finish seasoning when done) Optional: 4 cloves garlic (sliced and tossed in a little olive oil) fresh cracked pepper Place a large pan over a burner and turn to high heat. Add olive oil and let it get hot. Just before the oil reaches its smoke point, add the peppers. Toss occasionally, allowing the peppers to blister on all sides. Season with salt to taste. Total cooking time should be about 5 minutes. If adding garlic, toss in about 1 minute before the peppers are fully blistered. Season with freshly cracked pepper if desired. Yield: Serves appetizers, small sides for 4.

ARIES — Try not to be a stick in the mud today, Aries. Other people aren’t going to want to take the time to drag you along. Take the initiative. If you want to have fun, create it. The biggest part of this equation is your attitude. Other people can sense your jealous nature, so don’t think you’re fooling anyone. Let others live their lives. You need to concentrate on your own. TAURUS — Be a little selfish, Taurus. Be honest and straightforward with what you want. There’s no need to beat around the bush simply because you want to spare someone’s feelings. You will do everyone a favor by laying it out clearly. Refrain from playing mind games just to see how much you can twist people into knots. Such actions will later come back to haunt you. GEMINI —Your dander might be up today in reaction to someone’s strong opinion. You don’t want to back down, Gemini. The fire burns hot within you. Use this power wisely. Try not to use it in an aggressive, manner toward those you don’t want to offend. Watch your back and keep your energy pure. You have the power to affect quite a number of people. CANCER — Move boldly toward your dreams today, Cancer. Your sense of reality may not be perfectly in tune with the actual situation, but don’t worry about it. Put wings on your shoes and fly into the stratosphere. Push the boundaries. The only way you’re going to grow is if you go beyond your normal mode of existence. This is your day to soar into the great beyond. LEO — There’s extra action in your day today, Leo, so go with it. Don’t fight against the wave of unconventional support that’s brewing at your back door. There’s a great deal of potential energy at your disposal. The only thing keeping you from harnessing it is your own mind. Don’t be so scared of that which can actually help you out. Open your mind and let the new into your life. VIRGO — Today is a great day for you. You should communicate a lot, Virgo. Talk in riddles and say your sentences backward. Be fanciful and outlandish. Most of the information will be relayed in a nonverbal manner. Let your wild side shine through. Wear the wackiest thing in your closet. Don’t give in to the social norm just because it’s the thing that has been

done repeatedly. LIBRA — Your emotions and fantasies are strongly tied today, Libra. Let your feelings revel in a surreal state. Let your daydreams filter into your decisions. You might feel electricity in the air, so go with it. There’s a great deal of creative energy available to you that’s extremely potent. This energy has an activating effect that will help you get off the couch. SCORPIO — You should enjoy a good mood today, so head toward something you believe in, Scorpio. There will most certainly be a magical element to this day that you should not only believe in but also encourage. Miracles are possible if you believe. Let your fanciful mind realize something out of thin air. Lean toward the new and unconventional. The times are changing rapidly. SAGITTARIUS — Not much will happen until you decide to give up a few vices that have a serious effect on your well-being, Sagittarius. Realize that if there are certain things that control you, you don’t have complete control over your life. Try not to fight this truth. Simply accept that these things exist in your world, and understand that you can coexist without having to surrender to their power. CAPRICORN — This is a whirlwind day for you. You will finally feel like you’re getting things back on track, Capricorn. Any lag you’ve felt in the past few days will be eliminated. Your engine is in high gear. You have more of a sense of what you want. Don’t be so concerned with how you’re going to get it. Focus more on defining it precisely. AQUARIUS — Try not to rock the boat too much today, Aquarius. Hold fast to your point of view, but don’t get down when other people don’t share your sentiments. You might feel the urge to snap at people, but realize that you’re probably better off holding your tongue. Let your daydreams carry you away from the present reality. Your imaginary world will be your closest ally. PISCES — Let the child within come out and play, Pisces. Return to and relish your most primal state. Some of life’s most important lessons are the ones you learned when you were a child. Return to that state of mind and embrace the simplicity of life you experienced then. Life is only complicated because you make it so. Remember what it was like to live without care and live that way again.

CODEWORD PUZZLE

SUDOKU

Thought for Today

I

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.

Such attorney should be consulted promptly so that your pleading may be filed or entered within the time required by this summons. DETAILED SUMMARY OF THE MATTER THAT PLAINTIFFS SEEK TO INVALIDATE: Plaintiffs/Petitioners have filed their First Amended Petition for Writ of Mandamus and Complaint (“Complaint”), which seeks, among other things, a judicial decree, pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure section 860, et seq., determining that the following actions taken by the Santa Barbara County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (“District”), the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors (“Board of Supervisors”), acting in its capacity as the Board of Directors of the District (“Board of Directors”), and the Board of Directors of the District are invalid and unenforceable. On April 20, 2021, the Board of Supervisors, acting as the District’s Board of Directors, adopted Resolution No. 21-73: A Resolution to Approve Water Management Tools Amendment (Amendment 21) to State Water Project Water Supply Contract Subject to Certain Limitations to Maintain Local Water Supply (“Resolution No. 21-73”), which imposes significant conditions, limitations and restrictions on Plaintiffs’/Petitioners’ rights to the State Water Project (“SWP”) pursuant to the 1963 State Water Supply Contract (“SWP Contract”) between the District and the State of California’s Department of Water Resources (“DWR”). Resolution No. 21-73 declares that the District, in some cases, and the Board of Directors, in other cases, may unilaterally condition or reject certain transfers and exchanges of SWP water that otherwise would be permitted by the SWP Contract, as amended by the Water Management Amendment, by conditioning or withholding the District’s execution of any agreements required to implement such transfers and exchanges, notwithstanding Petitioners’/Plaintiffs’ approval of, and agreement to be bound by, any such transfer or exchange. Petitioners/Plaintiffs are the Central Coast Water Authority (“CCWA”), a joint powers agency, and its eight public agency members: the Carpinteria Valley Water District, City of Buellton, City of Guadalupe, City of Santa Barbara, City of Santa Maria, Goleta Water District, Montecito Water District, and Santa Ynez River Water Conservation District, Improvement District No. 1, all of whom provide retail water supply service to customers (ratepayers) within Santa Barbara County. Pursuant to a series of agreements in the 1980s and early 1990s, the District transferred all of its rights and obligations to the SWP Contract to Plaintiffs/Petitioners. Among other things, CCWA administers the SWP Contract and delivers SWP water to its members and other parties who have contracted with CCWA for the delivery of SWP water (collectively, “CCWA Participants”). But because the District remains the party to the SWP Contract, whenever DWR requires the District’s execution of an agreement, such as amendment of the SWP Contract or an agreement for the transfer or exchange of SWP water (“DWR Agreement”), CCWA must obtain the District’s execution of such agreement. The District’s adoption of Resolution No. 21-73 damaged CCWA and the CCWA Participants by disrupting their existing plans and future planning for the implementation of the Water Management Amendment, including but not limited to any proposed transfer or exchange of SWP water pursuant to the Water Management Amendment, which such CCWA Participants had or do determine is in the best interest of their customers (the ratepayers), if applicable. Future damages will accrue as CCWA Participants are deprived of the benefits of the Water Management Amendment as a result of the direct and proximate cause of the conditions, restrictions and limitations imposed by Resolution No. 21-73. The CCWA Participants’ damages include, but are not limited to, increased administrative costs, lost sales of surplus water supplies, higher costs to manage water supplies, and increased costs of water service. Resolution No. 21-73 is invalid and should be declared unenforceable for the following reasons: 1.

The District has no right or authority to impose conditions on, much less withhold its approval of, any DWR Agreement for which CCWA has approved and agreed to be bound, including but not limited to the Water Management Amendment or any other amendment to the SWP Contract.

2.

Resolution No. 21-73 violates CCWA’s rights under the Transfer of Financial Responsibility Agreement and each and all of the 19 Water Supply Retention Agreements, which rights were assigned to CCWA, because the District has no right to impose conditions on amendments to the SWP Contract or CCWA’s transfer or exchange of SWP water pursuant to the SWP Contract.

3.

In enacting Resolution No. 21-73, the District acted in excess of statutory authority under the Santa Barbara County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Act (State Statutes of 1955, Ch. 1057), which prohibits the District from affecting, in any way, the water management authority and obligations of public water suppliers within Santa Barbara County, including CCWA and its members.

4.

Resolution No. 21-73 will deprive the CCWA Participants of their ability to maximize beneficial use of their SWP water supplies and will result in a waste of water and therefore violates Article X, Section 2 of the California Constitution.
