Travel is one of the industries that was hardest hit during the pandemic. But during the last few months, the industry has seen a significant improvement, especially with international travel (mostly to Europe). There has been an increase in cruise bookings and international family vacations. In fact, when compared to a year ago, the difference for the travel industry is “night

and day,” said Karen Ensign, an independent travel agent with Montecito Travel Village. Ms. Ensign told the NewsPress in recent months she has booked travel to France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Greece. “Most people are booking for next year or the end of this year,” Rayanna ColeDombroski, another travel agent with Montecito Village, told the News-Press. The market is a little up and down, but overall it’s getting Please see TRAVEL on A5

When the United States Marine Corps celebrates a birthday, members of the Santa Barbara area league don’t blow out candles. Instead, the cake is sliced with a sword, and the first two pieces are given to the youngest and eldest marines. On Wednesday, the Corps’ 246th birthday, Giancarlo Lopez — a 19-year-old Marine who graduated boot camp in August — and Sofia “Rusty” Meznarich — who served from 1943-1946 — gathered around the first slice of cake at the Santa

She went to the post office to meet a recruiter for the Navy with intentions to enlist. The man wasn’t there, so she talked to the Marine Corps recruiter. “The Marine Corps man said, ‘We’re better looking than the rest of them, and our uniforms are better looking too,’ ” she said.

Pfizer has asked the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to authorize COVID-19 boosters for everyone 18 and older. It makes a difference, the pharmaceutical said, citing data from a clinical trial of more than 10,000 fully vaccinated people 16 and older who previously received the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. The company said that the combination of the vaccine shots and the booster proved to be 95.6% effective. Pfizer said it found five COVID-19 cases in the booster group and 109 cases in the nonboosted group, with results consistent across age and ethnic groups. “These results provide further evidence of the benefits of boosters as we aim to keep people well-protected against this disease,” said Albert Bourla, chairman and CEO of Pfizer, in a

news release Previously, the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee decided not to recommend boosters for everyone 16 and older. It has limited its recommendation for Pfizer and Moderna boosters to the 65-and-older population and those with underlying health conditions or who work or live in a high-risk setting. The committee did recommend boosters for everyone 18 and older who got the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Members explained Johnson & Johnson showed more data on breakthrough infections. email: dmason@newspress.com

Lompoc hospital administers vaccines for ages 5-11

COVID-19 cases down 17% in county Santa Barbara County’s COVID-19 cases have fallen 17% to nine cases per 100,000. That’s according to Dr. Van DoReynoso, director of the Public Health Department, who gave an update Tuesday to the Board of Supervisors. The cases must be six or less per 100,000, recorded in periods of two weeks, in order for indoor mask mandates to be rescinded. “With the current standard, do you know of an area with a stricter standard?” Supervisor Bob Nelson asked Dr. Do-Reynoso. “No I don’t,” responded Dr. DoReynoso. The director continued to explain that the county may mirror other jurisdictions and use the metric of seven cases per 100,000 for three weeks rather than its current more strict metric. When asked about the use of antivirals to treat COVID-19, Dr. Do-Reynoso happily told the Board the Public Health Department is moving forward with this

treatment method. “We are really excited about the prospect of antivirals being approved because ultimately it will prevent lives lost,” Dr. Do-Reynoso told the board. “It can prevent severe illness and poor outcomes.” The issue of privacy in testing centers arose between the board and the Public Health Department. In order to get vaccinated, one must share their name, sex, gender and race. “That’s not what we should be doing as a county,” Supervisor Nelson told the board. “I’m fine with a testing option, but there’s an invasion of privacy that we’ve ventured into.” Dr. Do-Reynoso responded, “It’s for calculation. The tester is asking for demographics so we can track and see trends.” The Public Health Department then confirmed with the board that this information is protected by HIPAA. Looking to the future, the board inquired about the transition of COVID-19 from a pandemic to an endemic. Supervisor Steve Lavagnino noted that there is

always work to be done, but Santa Barbara is trending positively overall. “With regards to when we move from the pandemic to the endemic stage, that is a conversation that happens at the state level.” Dr. Do-Reynoso told the board. “Unfortunately, Santa Barbara may be in a better state but a lot of our colleagues are not seeing a case rate trending downward.” Dr. Do-Reynoso added that Santa Barbara County will invariably be affected by the growing cases in Los Angeles. Supervisor Williams concluded the meeting by voicing the importance of increasing the vaccinated population. “The reason why vaccination is important is clear,” Supervisor Williams said. “Our case rate for vaccinated individuals is 3.3. Our case rate for unvaccinated individuals is 18.3. Whether it’s the mask mandate or other restrictions, the best way we can get out of this is to get people vaccinated.” email: fmcfarland@newpress.com

Newsom warns about winter risk for COVID-19 By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER

(The Center Square) — Gov. Gavin Newsom warned that “winter is coming” on Wednesday, highlighting concerns over a potential increase of COVID-19 infections heading into the end of the year. Speaking from a vaccine clinic near the West Los Angeles Veterans Affairs Medical Center, the governor warned of the “seasonality” of COVID-19, noting that case rates and hospitalizations are rising across the state. “While we were spared the worst in this summer, the prospects of a challenging winter are upon us,” Gov. Newsom said. “And that’s why we’re doing everything in our power to prepare and to protect ourselves.” In anticipation of a potential winter spike in cases, the governor, alongside the state’s Health and Human Services Agency Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly, promoted vaccines and booster shots Wednesday as the best form of protection heading into the winter months. “Not only are you five times more likely to be infected by COVID if you are unvaccinated, but 20 times more likely to die, and so with that statistic in mind, I really just want to continue to deliver home the strong point that vaccines are our way through this pandemic,” Ghaly said Wednesday. “We are concerned about the winter, we’re concerned about rising case numbers, pressure on our hospitals from a number of other issues on top of COVID. So do what you can today to get your vaccine, protect yourself into the winter.” Thus far, the state has distributed more than 54.7 million

“While we were spared the worst in this summer, the prospects of a challenging winter are upon us,” Gov. Gavin Newsom warned Wednesday about COVID-19.

vaccine doses, and 66.3% of the state’s entire population is fully vaccinated, according to the latest data from the California Department of Public Health. Vaccine coverage is also expanding among children ages 5-11, with more than 110,000 doses given in this age group, Dr. Ghaly reported Wednesday. He said vaccine availability for this age group means an additional 9% of the state’s population is now eligible to be vaccinated. Yet, despite the overall high vaccination uptake in the state,

case rates and hospitalizations have risen in recent weeks. California currently has a case rate of 112.2 per 100,000 and has been designated to have a “high” level of community transmission, according to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In addition, hospitalizations are rising in areas with less vaccination coverage, such as San Bernardino, Riverside and Fresno counties, where rates are up more than 20% in recent weeks. This is a stark shift from just

over a month ago when California was the only state in the U.S. with “moderate” disease transmission, which equates to a case rate of fewer than 50 cases per 100,000. According to the latest CDC data, several states across the Southeast report lower case rates than California. Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and South Carolina currently have “substantial” disease spread. Florida and Georgia have “moderate” disease transmission with less than half of California’s rate of spread. Gov. Newsom said Wednesday that an increasing case rate appears to be the “familiar pattern” of COVID-19 in the winter months, noting that around this time last year, case rates, hospitalization rates and ICU numbers began to increase ahead of the winter surge. He noted that several other states, including Colorado and states in the Midwest, are seeing similar increases. The governor said the key to interrupting this pattern is upping immunity through vaccines and booster doses. Gov. Newsom encouraged everyone eligible to get their booster dose and dispelled circulating rumors that he had an adverse reaction after receiving the Moderna booster shot at the end of October. “I had absolutely no impact whatsoever from the COVID shot, the original nor the booster,” Gov. Newsom said. “Absolutely none. No fatigue, even no soreness.” The governor called the misinformation circulating about booster shots “mishegoss,” adding that the vaccines are life-saving and what helped the state “put a lid on COVID” over the summer.

SANTA BARBARA — At approximately 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, the Santa Barbara Police Combined Communications Center received a report of a fight involving multiple subjects in the 200 block of West Carrillo Street. The police response resulted in an arrest and an injury to an officer, Sgt. Ethan Ragsdale, the public information officer, said. Police responded after receiving the report to the communications center, which said one of the suspects was possibly armed with a knife. When officers arrived on the scene, they encountered a highly agitated individual who allegedly threatened to fight officers, Sgt. Ragsdale said. He said the suspect was

identified as Anthony Isaace Ramirez, 29, of Lompoc. He said Mr. Ramirez refused to comply with officers’ verbal commands and was profusely bleeding from a hand injury. Sgt. Ragsdale said Mr. Ramirez had to be physically restrained by officers in order to be taken into custody. During this time, he was allegedly combative, “bucking” his body, and refused to be placed inside a patrol vehicle once under arrest, Sgt .Ragsdale said. Sgt. Ragsdale said Mr. Ramirez was combative to the point that he violently pushed one of the arresting officers, causing him to lose his balance, striking his head on the metal quarter of a police vehicle. Mr. Ramirez then pivoted and allegedly kicked the officer in the face while he was still on the ground, causing the officer to again strike his head on the police

LOMPOC — Lompoc Valley Medical Center administered more than 40 shots on Wednesday, the first day of children ages 5-11 receiving COVID-19 vaccinations. “I’m this much scared and this much excited,” said 7-year-old Jade Speaks, holding her hands apart a few feet. “Then I’ll be safe and don’t have to worry about getting the virus.” Her mother, Alyssa, made an appointment for Jade as soon as she could. “It’s so important to not only have safety for Jade, but also for others,” she said in a news release. For brothers Grayson, Oliver and Clark Soltero, a round of rock-paper-scissors determined who would be the first to be vaccinated. Oldest brother Grayson, 9, paved the way for his 7-year-old twin brothers. “I feel safer now, because I know even if I do get COVID, it won’t harm me as much as if I didn’t get vaccinated,” Grayson said. Their mother, Autumn, said she vaccinated the boys because “It’s the right thing to do.”

Continued from Page A2 Barbara County Fire Department responded to a fire at TruTeam’s facility located in Goleta. The district attorney’s office explained the fire was caused by unlawful treatment of hazardous waste, which included combining two wastes-liquid resins that resulted in igniting nearby materials. The Santa Barbara County Certified Unified Program Agency, which is part of county Environmental Health Services, issued a notice of violation directing TruTeam to properly manage its hazardous waste and implement a Hazardous Materials Business Plan. The plan tells first responders about which hazardous materials are at a business. Another fire occurred in August 2018 at the Goleta facility. Further investigation led district attorneys to allege violations relating to TruTeam facilities in Santa Barbara County and seven other counties. TruTeam and the district attorneys of Santa Barbara, Alameda, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, Sacramento, San Diego and Stanislaus counties stipulated to the entry of final judgment in this case. The following provisions are included in the final judgment: civil penalties amounting to $279,500; $80,00 to supplemental environmental projects; and $50,000 in cost reimbursement. Civil penalties amount to: $68,446 to Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office; $16,250 to Santa Barbara CUPA; and $17,500 to State of California General Fund, Toxic Substances Control Account. Environmental Projects include: $20,000 to Craig Thompson Environmental Protection Prosecution Fund; $20,000 to CUPA Forum Environmental Protection Trust Fund; and $40,00 California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (“CalRecycle”), Farm and Ranch Solid Waste Cleanup

positive attitude and persistent communication. • Student of the Year: Isabella Mireles, Dos Pueblos High School. Isabella is known as a strong example of someone giving back to the community. She was diagnosed at age 2 with leukemia and is now cancer-free. As a pediatric cancer survivor, she dedicates her time speaking about cancer, encouraging pediatric patients and working closely with the Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation to put on special events. • Volunteer of the Year: Lisa Gosdschan. Many people know Ms. Gosdschan from her day job with the Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse, and before that, St. Vincent’s. But those who know her well realize her passion for her community goes far beyond that, the chamber noted in its news release. In addition to serving as an ambassador for the chamber, she has been a Santa Barbara County long-term ombudsman and is a regular volunteer at Cottage Hospital. She also has helped the Kiwanis Club of Santa Barbara, Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation and the American Heart Association. Throughout the pandemic, she volunteered for the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County. • Nonprofit Leader of the Year: Lori Goodman. Ms. Goodman became executive director of Isla Vista Youth Projects in January 2018. Immediately, she had big ideas on how to grow the organization and enhance its presence in the community.

Cost Reimbursement includes: $11,375 to Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office; $5,654 to Santa Barbara CUPA; and $32,971 among the other district attorney’s Offices on the prosecution team and the other environmental health inspection agencies who contributed to the case. “These violations threatened the safety of the public, employees and first responders, thus my office takes very seriously the failure to comply with hazardous-waste and hazardous-materials laws,” Ms. Dudley said. — Katherine Zehnder

distribution and childcare. Under Ms. Goodman’s leadership, IVYP continues to expand their services and reach. • Innovator of the Year: Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital. As vaccines began to roll out, Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital moved swiftly to set up a driveup clinic to serve residents across the South Coast, the chamber noted. The hospital worked in accordance with state guidelines, starting with those 65 and older and then essential workers. By April the drive-up clinic was serving nearly 10,000 people a week. • Nonprofit Organization of the Year: Foodbank of Santa Barbara County. Over the last two years, the Foodbank distributed twice as much food as normal to twice the number of people as widespread job losses expanded with every wave of shutdowns and COVID-19 case surges. In the first nine months of the pandemic, the Foodbank handled nearly 60,000 home deliveries, setting up and running more than 50 certified food distribution sites to serve all neighborhoods of the county. • Special Recognition: Her Festival 2020. Mia and Cami Chou helped found the studentrun organization Voices of the Community at Dos Pueblos High School. The group is made up of Santa Barbara youth who are passionate about changing the community for the better by ensuring that the voices of underrepresented groups are heard. The group’s first big endeavor was the inaugural Her Festival. As co-presidents of the event, Mia and Cami worked for months to bring the event to the community.

The first to arrive on scene was Sheriff’s Deputy Rockwell Ellis and Senior Deputy David Ashley. They found an unconscious woman on the floor inside of an apartment filled with smoke and flames. The woman was non-responsive, and her clothing was beginning to catch fire. Senior Deputy Ashley patted out the flames on the woman’s clothing and pulled her out the door with the assistance of Deputy Ellis. The deputies then worked together to carry the woman down the flight of stairs and to the street, said Raquel Zick, the Sheriff’s Office public information officer.

SBCC defeats Oxnard 5-0 in women’s soccer action By MICHAEL JORGENSON SBCC SPORTS WRITER

The Santa Barbara City College women’s soccer team earned its fourth consecutive shutout on Tuesday afternoon at Oxnard, defeating the Condors 5-0 behind five first half goals. The Vaqueros (10-5-3 overall, 6-2-3 WSC) have now gone over a month without a loss. In November alone, they have outscored their opponents 17-0. Defender Hanna Crawford got things going with two goals in the first 20 minutes of the game. She scored in the fourth minute off a pass from midfielder Dakota

Thysson, and was assisted in the 17th minute by Sofia Orozco. Crawford has put away three of her four goals this season over the past two games. Forward Theresa English is another Vaquero enjoying an outstanding stretch of play. The Modesto native followed up last Friday’s hat trick with two first half goals of her own, scoring in the 29th and 33rd minutes. Midfielder Delaney Kenney squeezed in a goal at the 31st, as SBCC’s lead ballooned from 2-0 to 5-0 within a span of five minutes. English moves into the teamlead with 10 goals for the year, notching half of them within her

last two outings. She also recorded an assist on the day, while Orozco finished with three. Goalkeepers Analea Pule and Hayden Velds split time defending the net. It was the first appearance of the season for Velds, who racked up four of SBCC’s six saves in the second half. Santa Barbara will be at Moorpark this Friday for its regular season finale at 3 p.m. Michael Jorgenson works in communications/media relations at Santa Barbara City College. email: dmason@newspress.com

Just when things seemed dire in its regular season home finale against L.A. Mission on Tuesday night, the Santa Barbara City College men’s soccer team stepped up in the biggest way. Ultimately the Vaqueros won the match. After the Eagles (6-9-6 overall, 5-3-2 WSC) tied the match at 1-1 with a goal in the 79th minute, SBCC began pushing numbers forward in the home game. The Vaqueros (13-4-3, 7-2-1) had played with a renewed sense of urgency from the moment the second half started, resulting

in a 54th-minute penalty from midfielder Tanner Stevenson that initially put them ahead. Once again, Stevenson would play a part in an SBCC scoring opportunity. He moved into space in the 86th minute, taking one dribble after receiving the pass from Paulo Carrillo-Weisenburger, and placed the perfect ball through for forward Bart Muns. Playing with an injured right hand, the Western State Conference’s leading scorer only needed his left foot to slot home his seventh game-winning goal of the season on first contact. It was his 16th goal of the season, tying Victor Chavez (2017) for the most of any Vaquero in the last eight years. Muns was also the one who drew a foul in the box earlier in the half. A slick ball from CarrilloWeisenburger caught one of L.A. Mission’s center backs in no-man’s land, allowing Muns to turn and take the ball in stride. Before the rushing goalkeeper could meet him, he was taken down by the other center back, who failed in his stretching attempt to make a clean tackle. Stevenson did the honors from the spot, keeping the shot low to the left and controlled with precise power to make it 1-0. The

only Vaquero to appear in all 19 games this season, Stevenson is now tied for third on the team in both goals (4) and assists (5). An unfortunate Vaquero error in the 77th minute gave L.A. Mission a free kick in very dangerous territory at the edge of the box. A shot that could have tied the game went high, but the Eagles weren’t done threatening. A ball played into the box in the 79th minute drew the SBCC defense towards the back post. A defensive header ended up landing right at the foot of L.A. Mission’s Justin Ramirez, whose first touch shot into the bottom right corner had no chance of being stopped. A resurging SBCC team would come up clutch with one of the most memorable goals of the year soon after. The Vaqueros improved to 9-1-1 at La Playa Stadium with the win. Santa Barbara travels to Santa Monica this Friday for its final game of the regular season beginning at 3 p.m. Michael Jorgenson works in communications/media relations at Santa Barbara City College. email: dmason@newspress.com

Westmont beats Claremont-Mudd-Scripps in women’s basketball By RON SMITH WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

On the surface, Tuesday’s game between the Westmont women’s basketball team (3-0), and Claremont-Mudd-Scripps appeared to be nothing more than a lopsided 74-33 victory for the Warriors. However, looking at the game from the perspective of program history reveals a more telling tale. Westmont, the top-ranked team in the NAIA, had five players score in double figures. Iyree Jarrett led the way both on the box score (16 points) and in the first quarter of play. The senior guard tallied 12 points in the first 10 minutes including draining back-to-back threes that gave Westmont a 15-4 advantage, a little over six minutes into the game. “The way Iyree started the game set the tone for our whole team,” said Westmont head coach Kirsten Moore. “Before the game, we talked a lot about how setting the tone early was a key for this game. Iyree came out with a level of focus and ability to hit those shots.” Three different Warriors added 12 points each to Westmont’s tally — Stefanie Berberabe, who went six of seven from the field; Laila Saenz, who was five of nine, and Aleena Cook who was five of eight. Sydney Brown posted a double-double of 11 points and 11 rebounds. Westmont, which never trailed in the game, led 25-9 at the end of the first quarter, 37-12 at

halftime, 57-22 three-quarters through and by 41 at the end of the game. “Our defense in the first half was really good,” said Moore, “and it was still good in the second half. When we want to set a tone, it is my belief that it happens on the defensive end of the floor. That led to an easier offense and took the pressure off. “I thought we did a pretty good job on the boards. Still, giving up 11 offensive boards means we need to get better.” The Warriors outrebounded the Athenas 42-27. As for the historical perspective, it starts with recognizing that this was the first home game with fans that the Warriors have played since March 7, 2020 when they beat The Master’s 76-67 in the GSAC Tournament championship game. “There was a lot of excitement to be able to play in front of family, friends and students on our home court,” said Moore. “It has been a long time. Hopefully, it was fun for the fans to see how incredible this group of young women are. What they can do on the floor is remarkable. “It is fun to watch, fun to coach and I am grateful for the opportunity I have to do that. I am grateful for any time we get to step on a court and play basketball — especially here at home.” Ron Smith is the sports information director at Westmont College. email: dmason@newspress.com

Santa Barbara girls volleyball loses to Chino Hills The Santa Barbara girls volleyball team ended its season Tuesday with a 1-3 loss to Chino Hills in the first round of the state playoffs. The scores at the away game were 25-21, 18-25, 16-25 and 18-25. “The girls battled hard against a very strong Chino Hills team,” Coach Kristin Hempy told the News-Press in an email. “The Huskies put up a really solid block against our hitters and we struggled a little to maneuver around it at times. “Our consistent serving and ball control helped keep us in the mix, along with strong offense from Mary Johnson, Shae Delany

and Emma Zuffelato. Carolina Koceman had a strong night in the back row, with serve receive, tip coverage, and defense,” Hempy said. “Our hitting coverage and defense was really put to the test tonight and though we didn’t come out on top, I’m so proud of how the team played. The girls kept their heads up, kept their unity and team spirit strong, and played their hearts out,” the coach said. “We’ve had an incredible run, and I’m so proud of the girls that they get to walk away from this season with a CIF Championship.” — Dave Mason

When compared to a year ago, the difference for the travel industry is “night and day,” said Karen Ensign, an independent travel agent with Montecito Village Travel.

clients who remain reluctant to interact socially are not likely to get on a plane. However, she said other clients, who are comfortable with being out and socializing with friends, are much more likely to be getting on a plane or booking a vacation in the near future. For those traveling domestically, no vaccination or negative COVID-19 test is required at this time. However, for those travelling internationally, each country is a little bit different. But as a general rule both a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of departure as well as proof of vaccination is required in most countries for international travel, although there are some differentiations in Western Europe. Some countries also require proof of medical insurance upon entry. It all depends on where you are going. “There has been a decrease of interest in foriegn travel due to protocols and the everchanging entry requirements. Throughout last year, it has been a nonstop ever changing policy. It can be very confusing to the traveler and the agent. Clients often call back and change their mind after finding out entry requirements,” said Ms. Cole-Dombroski. The majority of her clientele are still traveling domestically, but people are starting to think about travelling internationally next year. Ms. Cole-Dombroski also addressed how the value of travel agents has greatly increased in the post-pandemic world. “A travel agent does all the research and legwork for you concerning protocols and entry requirements,” she said. “They are constantly checking and double checking for changes in protocols and entry requirements for international travel. “This pandemic isn’t over. If you want to travel, you have to be really patient. You have to expect that some things are going to be different. It’s not going to be like it was. It’s going to be a little more work than it was before. But once you get there it will be worth it,” Ms. Cole-Dombroski said. email: kzehnder@newspress. com

back to pre-pandemic levels. Most travel agents are fairly busy. It’s close to what it was like before March 2020. “We were in a bad situation where travel was almost nil. We might get a couple calls a day, but it was pretty slow,” Ms. Cole-Dombroski said. “People are more hopeful about next year than they were last year. “As an agent I feel more hopeful about travel for next year,” Ms. Cole-Dombroski told the News-Press, when asked about the market as compared to a year ago. She splits about 50/50 on her corporate vs leisure travel. “This is the start of a really big surge, especially with international travel and cruises. Corporate travel is coming back but more slowly than leisure travel,” said Ms. Ensign when asked what she saw for the future. “I’m kind of a middle ground person,” she said. “To go through what we have gone through, I’m a little more pessimistic. But we are seeing a surge in business which will hopefully move over to travel.” “Corporate travel has changed. I don’t think there is any way to go back to prepandemic travel for the business world. Businesses are much more comfortable with people working from home and being productive in their homes. However, I still feel that there is a need for human contact, and companies traveling to meet their clients. Sometimes it just doesn’t work as well over Zoom,” Ms. ColeDomnbroski told the NewsPress when asked about the future of the travel market. Ms. Ensign told the NewsPress that she is booking a lot of international travel. Her top three international destinations are Italy, Spain and France. “It’s steady, but I wouldn’t say that I am booking a lot of trips, necessarily,” Ms. ColeDombroski told the NewsPress. “My sales are about 40% lower than they were in a prepandemic world.” Ms. Cole-Dombroski’s most popular destinations are Hawaii domestically and Italy, internationally. Her sales are about 90% domestic and 10% international in a postpandemic world as compared to 60% domestic, 40% international pre-pandemic. So while Ms. ColeDombroski’s sales have always been greater domestically, her domestic sales have increased by 30% in a post-pandemic world. Both Ms. Cole-Dombroski and Ms. Ensign said that their most popular destinations are the same post-pandemic as they were pre-pandemic. Ms. Ensign told the NewsPress that her clients are not hesitant about flying due to COVID-19. All of her clients are fully vaccinated and up for the challenge if they want to travel. “People have a better understanding of what they need to do. Travel agents are also having a better understanding of protocol and what their clients need to do,” said Ms/ Ensign. However, protocols are changing, and Ms. Ensign said travelers should be prepared for a possible winter surge in protocol and restrictions due to holiday travel. Ms. Cole-Dombroski said her

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: LEO JOSEPH MOLDAVER aka LEE MOLDAVER Case Number: 21PR00481 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Leo Joseph Moldaver aka Lee Moldaver A Petition for Probate has been filed by Simon A. Moldaver and Linda S. Moldaver in the SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA. The Petition for Probate requests that Simon A. Moldaver be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction if conducted after January 1, 2021, pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call FOR SALES INFORMATION, PLEASE CALL (855) 986-9342, or visit this internet website www.superiordefault. com, using the file number assigned to this case 2021-1659 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale.

Navy SEALs sue over COVID-19 mandate By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE SENIOR REPORT

(The Center Square) — A group of Navy SEALs has filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration over its vaccine mandate. They’re the latest to join the legal fight over what critics are calling unconstitutional government overreach. Dozens of SEALs, along with other Navy service members, joined in the lawsuit after the Department of Defense refused to grant them COVID-19 vaccination exemptions. With President Joe Biden’s approval, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced in August that all U.S. service members must be vaccinated. “The fact that the government

has not granted a single religious exemption from the vaccine mandate shows that the Biden administration does not care about religious freedom,” said Mike Berry, general counsel for First Liberty Institute, the legal group representing the plaintiffs. “Instead, this appears to be an attempted ideological purge. After all these elite warriors have done to defend our freedoms, the Navy is now threatening their careers, families and finances.” “It’s appalling, and it has to stop before any more harm is done to our national security,” he added. According to First Liberty Institute, the service members who requested religious exemptions to the vaccine were told they may face “court-martial or involuntary separation.”

“Each of their religious exemption denials appear to be identical, suggesting the Navy is not taking their requests seriously,” the group said. “The Navy also warned some of the plaintiffs that if they sought a religious exemption, the Navy would confiscate their Special Warfare devices — such as the famous SEAL ‘Trident’ — that they proudly wear on their uniforms. The Vaccine Mandate substantially burdens the SEALs’ free exercise of religion, and the Department of Defense has failed to prove it has a compelling government interest, or that there are no less restrictive ways to further its effort to mitigate the COVID-19 virus.” The latest lawsuit comes after a federal court temporarily halted Biden’s mandate that private sector companies with more than

99 employees ensure that their workers are vaccinated or receive weekly testing. More than 20 states have joined a series of lawsuits challenging the private sector vaccine mandate. A separate vaccination mandate for federal employees is also facing pushback. Many SEALs have reportedly left in anticipation that they would be forced out. “We generally have about 2,500 Navy SEALs,” Robert O’Neill, a former Navy SEAL who claims to have killed Osama Bin Laden in Operation Neptune Spear, said after the mandate was announced. “It takes time to get to certain levels. Hundreds are leaving because of nonsense.”

DEGLI ESPOSTI, Guerrino

Guerrino Degli Esposti passed peacefully in his sleep on October 24,2021. Guerrino was born in Villamar Sardinia, Italy on June 6, 1943. He spent his early life in Italy. He later took residence in Santa Barbara with his late wife Carine Degli Esposti. Together they owned the popular Montecito clothing store, Antoinette. Guerrino regularly attended Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church where he often found comfort after the passing of his wife. Guerrino leaves behind children Massimo Degli Esposti, Sandra Degli Esposti, James Koch and Ingo Koch and grandchildren Pietro Degli Esposti, Bianca Degli Esposti, Emily Koch and Soﬁa Koch. A service will be held in his honor at 10 am on Friday November 12 at Our Lady Of Mount Carmel Church in Montecito.

So she signed up for the Marine Corps and served as a secretary to a one-star general in Washington D.C. It was there that she met Mr. Mackey, a basketball player with the Marine Corps. “My mother was not a happy camper. You know in those days, women just didn’t fly out,” she said. “But she got over it — especially when I brought my husband home.” Ms. Mackey, a Santa Barbara native, told her husband (who hailed from New York) when they met that if he intended on marrying her, they’d live in Santa Barbara. He happily obliged. “He was a good man,” she said. She served from 1948-1951,

Currently, he is assisting recruitment. He likes being a Marine because it’s “full of honor,” he said. Wednesday’s luncheon was the first meeting he has attended at the local league. “It’s great to see the tradition and see that we all have the same loyalty and respect for the Marine Corps. Everyone you meet is ‘Semper Fi,’ ‘oorah,’ ‘do or die,’” he said. He pointed to Ms. Mackey and Ms. Meznarich, saying they served in the Korean War and World War II, respectively. And the birthday? “It’s another year that we get to continue fighting on, protecting the country,” he said. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Living in California was a dream she held from a young age, and serving made it possible. After she retired, her husband was stationed in Los Angeles, and they eventually moved to Santa Barbara. Mr. Lopez, a private first class, has known he wanted to serve since he was a kid. His cousins enlisted, and the idea of serving the country interested him. “I’ve always had a passion for helping people,” he said. He graduated from Santa Barbara High School in 2020.

Organic treviso This is a relatively milder variety of radicchio that emerges as our local conditions continue to cool. It’s recognized by its elongated leaves that are purple to red with a white extra rib down the center. Delivering nice earthy notes and a crisp texture, it is an excellent salad green, but it’s also nice when grilled. This week, I incorporated my treviso into a chicory greens and persimmon salad as the Fix of the Week on the next page. Grown by Jacob Grant of Roots Farm, this organic chicory variety can be found at the weekly Saturday Santa Barbara, Tuesday Santa Barbara and Wednesday Solvang farmers’ markets. Price is $2.50 each.

Julefest is returning this year to Solvang.

Solvang Julefest 2021

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

ulefest is back. “Solvang’s Julefest festivities are making a triumphant return this year after last year’s highly modified version of the beloved annual event. We will still have some slight modifications in place this year to accommodate the ongoing pandemic, but we will also be introducing some new Julefest elements for the enjoyment of our locals and visitors,” said Scott

Shuemake, president of IDK Events, planners and organizers of Solvang Julefest 2021. The holiday event, which is pronounced Yule-Fest, will begin Nov. 27 and run through Jan. 1. “As one of the nation’s most Christmas-y towns, Solvang will present a refreshed line-up of Julefest offerings and extra holiday cheer in the form of new illuminated displays, celebratory scenescapes and settings in an effort to enhance the ‘hygge’ holiday ambiance already native to the atmospheric city,” said Mr.

Shuemake. “Plans are in place for the return of the tree lighting ceremony, tentatively scheduled for 5 p.m. Dec. 3 in Solvang Park at the corner of Mission Drive and First Street. Included will be ballerinas encircling the Christmas tree, live entertainment, caroling and, of course, the season-starting tree lighting” The return of the Solvang Julefest Parade is scheduled for 11 a.m. Dec. 4, with parade route to be announced. During Julefest, the village

Holiday festivities slated for Nov. 27 through Jan. 1

will once again host its nowannual Nisse Adventure, where participants join in a citywide hunt for the mysterious Solvang Nisse (Christmas elves), which have hidden themselves throughout downtown Solvang. “Elf-trackers can visit www. nisseadventure.com, where they will find animated videos containing clues to the various hiding spots, which the Nisse frequent.

Hachiya persimmon If you’re looking to prepare some persimmon-based baked goods such as muffins, bread, bread pudding or custards, this is the variety of fresh persimmon you’re looking for. Hachiya persimmons are quite astringent when not yet ripe, so you really want to wait for them to be super soft to touch. Incredibly sweet with an underlying cinnamon presence, hachiya persimmon can be enjoyed ripe as they come, added to a smoothie or yogurt, or used to make persimmon cookies. They’re available at all weekly Santa Barbara certified farmers markets from several local producers. Price averages $2.50 per pound.

Romanesco Also referred to as Broccoli Romanesco, this Italian winter vegetable is one of the most stunning specimens to emerge at the farmers markets throughout the year due to its lime green color and structure. With a flavor and textural profile somewhere between that of broccoli and cauliflower, Romanesco delivers a nice nutty presence with an underlying sweetness that is absolutely delicious when roasted. And it can be used as a substitute for broccoli or cauliflower in most recipes. You can find Romanesco at the weekly Saturday Santa Barbara, Sunday Camino Real, Tuesday Santa Barbara and Thursday Carpinteria farmers markets from several local farmers. Price averages about $4 each

Solvang traditionally embraces Christmas spirit each year during Julefest.

of the Week

hen it comes to the world of leafy greens, the list is quite extensive. First there is the full array of lettuces such as romaine, butter, iceberg and red leaf, as well other common greens such as spinach, kale, cabbage, beet greens, mustard greens, watercress, micro-greens and collard greens. Within these general categories there are then dozens of varieties within, all offering a wide range of flavors and textures. The fall and winter are my favorite time to enjoy this diverse selection of locally harvested leafy greens from our local fields, where they’re vibrant and crisp from the cool weather and loaded with nutrients. Another general category of leafy greens that starts to take shape this time of year falls under the chicory category. Known for their naturally bitter presence, leafy chicory is generally enjoyed as a main salad ingredient, often dressed with an acidic based dressing to help balance the flavor.

SAM EDELMAN PHOTO

Generally, the younger the greens are harvested, the less bitter they tend to be, but their intensity can really vary from variety to variety. On hand this past Saturday from Jacob Grant’s Roots Farm was an abundance of certified organic chicory varieties that included treviso, bel fiore, frisée and escarole. This week I prepared a fresh chicory salad paired with seasonal fuyu persimmons, Fuji apples and walnuts. I topped the salad with a homemade limebalsamic vinaigrette. This salad has simple ingredients with a great balance of flavors and textures. 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. CHICORY GREENS AND PERSIMMON SALAD 2-3 varieties of chicory heads

rinsed, dried and chopped 1 fuyu persimmon. Cut into thin rounds, sounds sliced in half 1 medium Fuji apple, cut into this slices ½ cup walnut pieces ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped Optional: ½ jalapeño or Serrano chili, cut into very thin rounds. For the dressing: Juice from 1 lime 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoons Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons good quality and/ or aged balsamic vinegar 2 cloves garlic, well minced 1 teaspoon honey Thoroughly whisk together all dressing ingredients before using. For the salad, toss the chicory greens with about 2-3 tablespoons of your salad dressing to coat well. Then add remaining ingredients and toss the entire salad together. Add additional salad dressing as desired to taste and serve in separate bowls. Yield: Serves about 4 side salads depending on the amount of greens used.

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.

different realities. Friends and family are choosing sides while you remain on the fence. You’re able to understand both sides of the issue, making it difficult to put your energy in only one camp. Perhaps you wish to serve as a bridge between the two camps. Things don’t have to be as black and white as others see them. SCORPIO — Be careful about letting your imagination run away with your emotions. Grand scenarios you work up in your head may send your heart crashing when they end unfulfilled or crushed. There’s a realistic tone to the day asking you to be serious and practical, especially when it comes to your feelings. SAGITTARIUS — Your heart’s in the right place today, but somehow you find it hard to execute the things you want to do. Art and music projects are especially difficult for you now. They require a more cerebral approach than you’d like to admit. Perhaps you’re drawn to the spiritual nature of things more than you’re opposed to the rational nature of things. CAPRICORN — If you experience resistance or frustration in a certain area, you should take this as a sign that you should follow a new route. Things should flow smoothly and easily. This is one of those days in which reality is going to conflict harshly with fantasy, especially if you don’t have them well separated in your mind. Enjoy your imaginary world, but deal with the practical world, too. AQUARIUS — Indulge your sensual nature today. This part of your being doesn’t get expressed regularly. Go for a long walk with someone you love. Light some candles in your bedroom or take a leisurely hot bath. Tastes and smells are extra potent for you now. Enjoy a romantic dinner for two. Don’t get so caught up in the intellectual aspect of things that you forget about the sensuous side of life. PISCES — You may experience some push and pull today. One minute you feel like you should sit back and wait for things to go your way, and the next you feel a stick poking you to get moving. Life is a delicate balance of incorporating these two modes of operation. Neither way is more correct, so recognize and honor both.

HOROSCOPE ARIES — You may experience some raw emotions today, which you should use as your ally instead of your enemy. Your heart may feel rather abused, so do what you can to gently care for it. Be careful of letting others get too close if they simply don’t know how to act around something so fragile and pure. Protect yourself. TAURUS — The annoying restlessness that you experience today is simply a reminder that it’s important to start engaging in art projects or musical endeavors that make you happy. Learn from people who aren’t afraid to follow their dreams. Don’t be so concerned with what other people think of your work. Now it’s important to do these things for yourself. GEMINI — People may be relying on you in many ways today, so be careful that you don’t let anyone down. You may feel like judges are evaluating your performance. Try not to get too carried away with this concept. What’s most important is that you do your best, not necessarily that you achieve perfection. CANCER — Try not to get caught in the crossfire of a heated emotional battle today. Your happy, freedom-loving nature is too precious to be tainted by abrasive words and emotions. If things begin to flare up, erect a mental protective wall. These people may be too caught up in their own drama to see how their actions affect the people around them. LEO — You should feel emotionally stable today, but you may feel a bit unsure of yourself when it comes to data. Someone is challenging your way of thinking and demanding that you take a step farther out on the fragile limb. You’re happy on the part of the branch that’s much thicker and more stable. Feel free to stay there if you don’t feel comfortable taking a chance now. VIRGO — Go out and see a movie that you’ve wanted to see for weeks. You’ll be happiest in a reality that isn’t necessarily yours. Fantasy and imaginative scenarios are what tickle your fancy now. Be careful of being weighed down by heavy emotional issues that don’t have anything to do with you. LIBRA — You may be faced with a choice between two
