By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Santa Barbara County Public Health Officer Dr. Henning Ansorg is optimistic about the Pfizer and Moderna COVID19 vaccines and expects that Santa Barbara County will have them by early January.

In an interview with the News-Press, Dr. Ansorg said he and his colleagues at the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department are “very excited” about the newly announced vaccines, as well as their

Turning 30 doesn’t always call for an existential crisis, lots of wine and self-deprecating humor.

For Art From Scrap, 30 years is a milestone to celebrate.

The staff planned a large party to commemorate the day but like many events nowadays, COVID-19 changed their plans. So, now, they launched a virtual celebration and a $30-for-30-years fundraiser.

Art From Scrap started with a handful of parents who wanted to provide more art supplies to

students. They found materials that would otherwise be trash and turned it into an opportunity for kids to get creative.

For years, they collected skateboard wheel shavings from a local shop. The students enjoyed these curly, bright plastic pieces and the other unique salvage.

It grew from the parents’ garage to an empty airplane hangar (rented for a nominal fee).

They began teaching about the environment alongside their ecofriendly art projects.

The organization expanded and renamed itself to Explore Ecology,

an environmental education and arts program that reaches around 30,000 kids each year.

It’s located at 302 E. Cota St. in Santa Barbara, and a variety of ages visit for the Art From Scrap Creative Reuse Store, a shop of secondhand art materials at a bargain.

“We can’t open yet. It’s not feasible the way the store is set up because you kind of have to search through things,” Tara Patrick, Art From Scrap Creative Reuse director, said. “It’s kind of like a treasure hunt, so it’s not like the greatest place to go during the

pandemic.”

The store closed in March but recently opened an online shop and an 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday parking lot sale. Staff members pick out a portion of the stock, usually priced at about $1, and sell it outside under COVID-19 precautions.

A small portion of the stock is available online and gives just a taste of what Art From Scrap offers.

reported efficacy rates.

According to Reuters, Pfizer’s vaccine was reported to be more than 90% effective in preventing COVID-19 based on initial data, and Moderna reported its vaccine was 94.5% effective.

Before Santa Barbara County, or anywhere else for that matter, can get the COVID19 vaccine, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration needs to grant the vaccines emergency use authorization. Dr. Ansorg Please see vaccine on A4

The California Department of Education’s Facilities Program awarded $2.2 million to the Visual Arts and Design Academy at Santa Barbara High School to benefit the construction of a specialized building.

The program is currently operating in a 50-year-old space, but a modern, permanent structure would benefit students as soon as 2023. As part of the project, the existing buildings will be updated and a new building will be constructed.

VADA anticipates breaking ground in the second half of 2021.

“This is a huge milestone

for the school because these new funds allow us to break ground on a new building, which will begin our phased facility modernization project,” Daniel Barnett, program director and art instructor of VADA, said in a statement.

The project has raised $4.7 million of its $6.5 million goal.

Nearly $1.2 million was funded through Measure I 2016, a bond measure that uses Career Tech Ed grant funds to further the public’s investment.

VADA raised over $1.3 million through donations from an anonymous donor and Lillian and Jon Lovelace.

Brussels Sprouts Ready just in time for Thanksgiving, exceptional fresh local Brussels sprouts are in high supply. The first tender harvest of the year, this cruciferous vegetable resembles that of miniature cabbages, and delivers an underlying sweetness and nutty flavor when roasted.

Grown by numerous local farmers, you can now find fresh Brussels sprouts at all weekly Santa Barbara Certified farmers markets. This week I prepared roasted brussels sprouts with sautéed onions and chevre, the FIX of the Week.

Certified organic available, price averages about $4 per pound.

Fresh Thyme This herb is a must have for my Thanksgiving preparation, with the petite aromatic leaves finding their way into stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, under the skin of the turkey as well as whole sprigs in the next day’s turkey soup for an added layer of flavor. Delivering a nice earthy note, the leaves can be easily stripped off by running your fingers down the woody central stem, then either left whole or chopped to release more of the flavor.

Use to infuse a flavor olive oil, and pairs very well with garlic.

You can find certified organic Thyme from Earthtrine Farm of Ojai at the Saturday and Tuesday Santa Barbara farmers markets, as well as several other local producers at most of our weekly farmers markets.

Price averages $2 per bunch.

Organic Chard I have a nice row of this prolific winter green growing in my home garden, but from time to time I do have to supplement more from our weekly farmers markets. Available in a range of colors, farmers such as Organic Goleta Growers John Givens, often brings beautiful mixed bunches of “Rainbow” Chard that can make for a great presentation when sautéed or steamed. The very base of the chards rib is often discarded due to its hearty texture. Sauté in a little olive oil, garlic, and salt for a simple side. Certified organic chard can currently be purchased at all weekly Santa Barbara Certified Farmers Markets from several local growers. Price averages $2.50 per bunch depending on the size. Small tender chard is also often sold loose for $4-$6 per pound.

n an interview with radio station 99.9 KTYD last April, Cottage Hospital’s Medical Director of Psychiatry & Addiction Services Dr. Paul Erickson gave tips for coping with increased stress and anxiety caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, seven months later, pandemic-induced anxiety has had a cumulative impact on those who suffer from it, but the psychiatrist said his tips from the early days of the health crisis are still what he recommends to battle COVIDrelated stress.

Speaking to the News-Press, Dr. Erickson recommended having a “planful approach” to each day, similar to his earlier suggestion that people stick to

a daily schedule. This he said is especially important because the normal structure provided by a workplace schedule and the ability for people to have their regular social get-togethers, have been disrupted.

He added that one’s new schedule doesn’t need to be filled with anything too major.

“Even things as simple as planning to take a walk with a friend on a regular basis, or to say, take an online class and learn something new, to plan to have virtual get-togethers with friends and family. I think that helps people a lot, that when they get up they know several activities they’re going to be doing,” he said.

Social connection is especially important as this pandemic drags on, particularly for people who have recovered from substance abuse. While virtual meetups are

welcome, Dr. Erickson said having person-to-person connections in small gatherings is critical for these individuals.

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Erickson has seen people arrive at Cottage Hospital because they are no longer able to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Doing Zoom AA meetings just isn’t enough for some recovered alcoholics.

Sadly, the psychiatrist has also seen cases of relapse since the start of COVID-19 in March.

He recalled one Cottage patient who came into the hospital after relapsing, which came about after she lost her job, ended up spending an unhealthy amount of time at home, and lacked the necessary support structure to stay sober.

Increased social interaction alone can ease pandemic-induced

anxiety in some people, but Dr. Erickson said medication and therapy is more helpful to individuals with moderate to severe mental illness. People who are helped by medication are at risk if they stop taking their medication, which is a scenario that has become far more likely due to the pandemic.

“It’s harder to stay connected with your doctor or make sure you get your refills on time at a time like this,” Dr. Erickson stated.

Regardless of one’s mental health status, looking after one’s physical health should be a priority since it can very easily slip by the wayside.

“It’s easy not to be as physically active and it takes some attention and planning to make sure you get a walk each day or get aerobic exercise and find ways to look

after your physical health,” Dr. Erickson said.

Physical activity is one of four “pillars” for good health that Dr. Erickson enumerated. The other three were eating well, social connection, and good sleep. When treating mild or moderate anxiety symptoms, Dr. Erickson tries to bolster these areas of a patient’s life, starting with sleep.

“If somebody starts to sleep better, their anxiety and their depression starts to improve,” he said.

Lastly, Dr. Erickson recommended that people who need help managing COVIDinduced anxiety reach out and request help for whatever their needs are, be it an AA meeting, a sponsor, a domestic violence solution, or a doctor or clinician. email: jgrega@newspress.com

here seems to be two main camps when it comes to Brussels sprouts: they either love them or they hate them. Brussels sprouts are just one of those vegetables that rarely seem to find that middle ground of enjoyment, as can also be true with many of its other close relatives that includes kale, broccoli, and cabbage. Admittedly, I used to be one of those in the dislike category, but have since come full circle and now find myself roasting them at least a couple of times a week while in season.

Thriving in the cooler times of year locally, Brussels sprouts always arrive just before the Thanksgiving holiday, which is a must have item on my holiday spread. They pair quite nicely with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, and all of the other key Thanksgiving staples. When preparing, I start by cleaning them up a bit, giving the base a small trim and removing just a couple of layers of outer leaves. Then I float the sprouts in a bowl of cold water to remove any dust from the farmers fields, and possibly a few harmless aphids that are attracted to members of this vegetable family often found when purchasing pesticide free Brussels sprouts. Out of the water

and onto a kitchen towel to dry, then tossed in olive oil, seasoned and into the oven they go. Roasted to perfection in about 45 minutes, this simple cooking method delivers a wonderful crispy outer surface, tender center, and subtle sweetness that will keep one coming back for more.

Brussels sprouts can be roasted together with other seasonal favorites, such as sweet potato, cauliflower, beets, carrots, baby potatoes and turnips, or enjoyed all by themselves. This week, I gently tossed my roasted Brussels sprouts with crumbled bacon, sautéed onions, and chevre.

Finished with a light garnish of cilantro leaves, this side is perfect for the season.

sliced thin 3 ounces chevre ½ cup cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped Option; drizzle with aged balsamic vinegar and/or olive oil Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Trim the base ends of your Brussels sprouts and remove a couple layers of outer leaves.

Rinse, dry, and put in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Place in a single layer in a roasting dish and cook for about 40 minutes. When done, they should be crispy with a slight char on the outer surface and fork tender through the center. While the Brussels sprouts are cooking, cook bacon strips until crisp and break into bite sized pieces. In the same pan, after removing some of the excess bacon grease with a paper towel, sauté onion for about 5 minutes at high heat, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper. Toss bacon and onion with roasted brussels sprouts, then put in a serving bowl and top with chevre, then toss gently.

Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and, if desired, drizzle with aged balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

Care Center relaxing its visitation policies, allowing one visitor per week by appointment in a designated area.

Mr. Sabo, a former volunteer at Marian who suffered a stroke during a shift, was admitted to MECC for long-term care in 2018.

He was used to having frequent visits from Mrs. Sabo, who serves as a volunteer at Mission Hope Cancer Center.

On March 13, Mrs. Sabo visited her husband before her shift with full intentions on coming back afterwards to eat with him.

When she returned, however, the center was closed to visitors due to COVID-19.

The following week, Mrs. Sabo was also released from her volunteer position in order to limit the number of people at the hospital. She said she was saddened because the visits had become somewhat of a routine.

“While we were apart, he called me every morning to tell me about the previous evening, and then again at night to tell me about his day, and a few more times in between,” Mrs. Sabo said.

The nurses facilitated FaceTime sessions for the couple, though Mrs. Sabo did grow distasteful of Mr. Sabo’s newly grown beard during the time of separation.

She recently received word that she could visit him again.

remarked that this hasn’t happened yet because the FDA needs to wait a certain number of days after administering a vaccine to people in order to observe if it has any side effects.

However, it is coming and if the rollout is expedited, Dr. Ansorg believes Santa Barbara County could have its first batch of COVID-19 vaccines before 2020 is over.

“If we are lucky then we might see the first vaccine in our hands by the end of the year. That would be an aggressive timeline, but no later than early January,” he said.

Once the county has obtained its first supply of the vaccine, that doesn’t mean COVID-19 restrictions on the county level will be relaxed.

“It’ll take time to vaccinate people,” Dr. Ansorg explained.

“In the beginning, we’re expecting to get around 20,000 as a first batch.”

Santa Barbara County will follow state guidelines on how to give out the expected 20,000 vaccines. They will be given out by prioritizing those most at risk of catching COVID-19. Those working on the frontlines in the medical field will be the first to receive it and elderly residents, particularly those living in congregate care facilities, will be the next highest priority.

Though Dr. Ansorg said there are around 20,000 healthcare workers in Santa Barbara

While she didn’t quite know what to expect, Mrs. Sabo got her temperature checked, donned a mask and gloves and was able to reconnect with her husband, as the two held hands for the first time in months.

“Our visit was short,” said Mrs. Sabo, “but I was so happy to see him and was glad he was doing so well.”

The routine visits will again become routine, as the two have set a standing appointment to meet each week.

“Every night in my prayers, I pray for all of the caregivers at Marian Extended Care Center,” Mrs. Sabo said. “They are so kind and so good to James; they put me at peace knowing he is in great hands.”

Marian Extended Care Center is nationally recognized as Best Nursing Homes for Short Stay Rehabilitation and LongTerm Care by U.S. News and World Report. The 95-skilled bed nursing facility provides sub-acute health care for individuals in need or shortterm, intermediate, or long-term care. The facility is conveniently located across from Marian Regional, and provides patients and residents with immediate access to the finest routine and emergency medical care on the Central Coast. email: mwhite@newspress.com

County, the same number as the amount of vaccines expected to arrive in January, he said the first batch will be given to both health care workers and elderly residents rather than the whole thing going to the former.

Dr. James Cherry, an infectious disease specialist at UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital, said that the existence of two vaccines will make it easier to get the whole population immunized. He expects administering the vaccines will be in “full swing” by next spring.

In an interview with the NewsPress, he said, “To have enough doses, I think we’re talking about — certainly later in 2021 — I think there will be enough vaccine for everybody.”

He also said that COVID-19 antibodies should be observed to see how long a vaccine will be effective.

“They’ve looked at efficacy, but we should look at antibody prevalence over time, to see how rapidly they fall off which will tell you it is going to give lasting immunity,” Dr. Cherry said.

As the vaccine becomes more available to the point where the whole population can take it, it will be able to be given at vaccine pop-clinics and by people’s regular health care providers. Pharmacies will also be authorized to distribute the vaccine.

Getting both vaccines will involve getting two shots three to four weeks apart. email: jgrega@newspress.com

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS

Horoscope.com Thursday, November 19, 2020

ARIES — You can never be anyone other than who you are, Aries! That’s the way it is, and you can’t change it. Other members of your family may have dreamed of getting free of a duty or a moral lesson, but these dreams don’t apply to you. Your dreams of being someone else are like phantoms that have come back to haunt you. Simply brush them away!

TAURUS — The day ahead may bring a storm of individualism and independence. You usually tolerate the quirks and minor shortcomings of your friends or family members, but today they present real obstacles to your relationships. The only way to remedy the situation is to go on vacation. Spending some time alone will keep you out of trouble.

GEMINI — If you want to make the best of the day ahead, Gemini, try to convince your team or family to work together.

This is tricky to do, what with everyone’s schedule being so demanding right now. Hard as it is to coordinate their efforts and orchestrate harmony, the strength of your character and your team spirit will make it all work out.

CANCER — The day ahead won’t be easy, Cancer. A glimpse at your love life reveals that you will be bridling at certain inhibitions. You long for peace and stability, and at the moment everything is in suspense. Use the day ahead to gain some perspective on the situation.

Until the ice melts and the flow of events resumes, why not devote your energy to some other endeavor?

LEO — Lately, you’ve been nursing a feeling that your partner is inattentive. The tension has been building up and today, Leo, you’re likely to boil over with the rage that comes from one too many doubts and suspicions. The forecast for love is stormy, without a doubt. But making up after the quarrel promises to be lots of fun.

VIRGO — Some days it’s better to be on vacation! That’s what you’re liable to think today.

All your projects are mired in quicksand, and you feel like you’re spinning your wheels. But even if things are momentarily stuck, don’t lose faith. Your inner self is gaining stability. When the time is right, it will be strong and +*#!2 +1$)"$ +*#!2 +1$)"$

reliable.

LIBRA — Deep inside, don’t

you have an urge to breathe new spirit into your love life? Of course, some things are more easily said than done. Currently, you don’t have much time to devote to yourself, much less your partner. Affection could thrive if given half a chance. The day suggests that you commit yourself to making some decisions that will help bring you and your mate closer.

SCORPIO — It’s time to get what you need, Scorpio. Your desires don’t always go in a direction that does you the most good, and this can cause tension.

You feel as though it’s impossible to combine your desires with what is good for you, notably in your love life. You wrestle with whether you should remain in your “creative� cave or share your life with someone. It doesn’t have to be one or the other.

SAGITTARIUS — Take cover, Sagittarius, because today promises to be an emotional roller coaster! Something seems to be askew with your relationships, and you feel torn in opposite directions. One force is pushing you to enrich your inner universe and another force is pushing you into the arms of someone you’ve recently met.

Stay busy to avoid confrontation.

CAPRICORN — People are going to think you’re a star today, Capricorn! Although you may not feel that way about yourself. What’s gotten into you lately? Have you lost confidence in yourself? Are you now compensating for it? Do you feel a need for more success in your life? All this is possible, but you will have to take some risks if you’re going to progress.

AQUARIUS — Stop asking if you’re gifted, Aquarius. This definitely isn’t the time for such questions. Now is the time to work on something concrete. You will need the help of others if you’re to succeed, so get to work convincing them to ally with you.

You may have to reveal more of yourself than you normally do in order to sway people to your side.

It’s time to get out of your hole and take action!

PISCES — A partner for life or a brief encounter, which will it be? This is today’s question. Why not choose both?

Can you imagine being your partner’s lover while keeping your independence? Don’t be influenced by old models that force you to choose between these two ideas. Don’t forget that in our modern world, your choices aren’t as limited as you might think!

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.

Hearing examines environmental impacts of Rincon multi-use trail

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The soaring community voiced concerns during a meeting of the Community Development Department of the city of Carpinteria Tuesday afternoon.

The virtual meeting was held to hear comments from residents and business owners before the city prepares an Environmental Impact Report for the Carpinteria Rincon multi-use trail.

The proposed trail is 2,800 feet long and 16 feet wide and connects Rincon Beach County Park to the eastern side of Carpinteria Avenue.

It links segments in a network called the California Coastal Trail. The CCT is around 60% complete, according to the Coastal Conservancy of the State of California.

Currently, pedestrians and bicyclists must travel alongside Highway 101 to continue on the CCT. But many are illegally using the railway corridor.

During the city of Carpinteria Planning Commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jan. 6 meeting, the commission voted 4-1 in favor of approving a Mitigated Negative Declaration â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a move to try to exempt the project from an EIR. The soaring commission expressed opposition during that meeting and again during Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting, arguing that wind patterns should be included in a report. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This current plan ruins the opportunity for flying hang gliders and paragliders at that location.

And I would suggest that you actually forego the project entirely on that side of the bluff and consider a north-side alternative,â&#x20AC;?

John Greynald, public relations officer for the Santa Barbara Soaring Association, said in a public comment.

The plan involves degrading the bluff to create an ADA-friendly path with a gentle slope.

Prior to the public comment portion, principal planner Nick Bobroff gave a disclaimer: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the appropriate opportunity to be weighing the merits or drawbacks of the proposed project. This is instead really an opportunity for you to provide some early input on what we should be looking at as we start to prepare the Environmental Impact Report.â&#x20AC;?

A dozen or so commenters were paragliders or hang gliders. They suggested the EIR look at the effect on wind around the bluff.

COURTESY RENDERINGS

At top, the proposed Rincon Trail intersects the bluff beloved by paragliders. Members of the soaring community attended Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting of the Community Development Department of the city of Carpinteria to voice concerns. Above, a proposed bridge will guide pedestrians and bicyclists over the railroad tracks. Many are traveling along the railway corridor because of the absence of a trail.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know that we might seem like a fringe type of recreational community in hang gliding and paragliding. And while thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true for most of the areas in the U.S., itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really a bit of an exception here in the Santa Barbara area. And this is a big, big, avid passionate community,â&#x20AC;?

Derek Musashe, vice president of paragliding for SBSA, said.

And the Bluff, often referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bates,â&#x20AC;? is a popular spot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bates is essentially the Rincon.

Rincon is to surfing as Bates is to hang gliding and paragliding. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a well-known spot around

the world for the last 45-plus years,â&#x20AC;? Karl Cameron said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And it would be like building a wall through the middle of the surf point at Rincon, if you can kind of equate that.â&#x20AC;?

Other commenters were worried about the trail terminating into a steep Rincon parking lot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There have been recorded bike accidents, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty gnarly. With more people using that path, there would be more cars and probably more bike accidents,â&#x20AC;? Helen Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill said.

The scope of the project does

not include construction of public facilities, such as parking and restrooms. A separate public project is developing the amenities within the Rincon Bluffs Preserve, the land acquired by the city earlier this year.

The city would have to purchase an easement from the Union Pacific Railroad to construct a bridge over the tracks.

Project documents are available at carpinteria.ca.us/public-works/ engineering-division/rincon-multiuse-trail/. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Oil transport to take place in Goleta GOLETA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; There will soon be one or two trucks a day removing oil from the Ellwood Onshore Oil and Gas Processing Facility on Hollister Avenue, between the facility and Highway 101 onramp northbound.

The California State Lands Commission has processed limited amounts of oil and gas from Platform Holly that is coming up from between casing strings (steel pipes in the wells) in order to manage pressure within the well.

This stream of oil will continue until the wells on Holly have been completely plugged and abandoned. The oil and gas is treated to remove the toxic hydrogen sulfide from the gas stream and oil.

The amount of oil processed as

a result of this routine pressure management is minimal, but has accumulated and been stored in tank vessels, which are near capacity. Now, the commission will transport approximately 3,000 barrels of oil from those vessels and take it by truck to their facilities.

The operation should take about two weeks and will not occur over Thanksgiving weekend.

It may start as soon as Saturday, but should conclude by Dec. 11, barring any delay or unforeseen circumstances.

Contact Sheri Pemberton, the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s external affairs officer, at 916-477-0691 or sheri. pemberton@slc.ca.go with any questions. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Grayce McCormick

SB City Council approves $700,000 for automated license plate recognition system

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

On Tuesday, the Santa Barbara City Council approved spending up to $700,000 on automated license plate readers to install in the downtown, waterfront and airport parking lots.

The vote was 6 to 1, with the dissenting vote being Mayor Pro Tempore Kristen Sneddon.

She opposed the readers due to the number of kiosketeers who will lose their jobs or be transitioned to another position with the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a gateway job for so many high school students,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives people a good feeling about the city.â&#x20AC;?

However, Rob Dayton, the transportation planning and

parking manager for the city, expressed the importance of the readers to save the city more than $1 million annually. â&#x20AC;&#x153;License plate recognition has evolved over the last decade to the point where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very effective. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our current rate of losing $50,000 a weekâ&#x20AC;Ś we will be out of money and we will need to find that money somewhere or the system will need to shut down so that is a really big deal.â&#x20AC;?

In other news, the council voted to offer all tenants three months worth of tenant relocation assistance, after voting last week to provide two months of relocation assistance and a third month for people with special needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really worried about what the Census is going to show once

itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completely processed,â&#x20AC;? said council member Oscar Gutierrez, who supported the change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m afraid that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be worse than what it was and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really going to reflect on who we are and what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing as legislators.â&#x20AC;?

Council member Meagan Harmon also supported the change, but preferred three months of relocation assistance plus one month for people with special needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you look at the cities that have a special arrangement for particularly vulnerable folksâ&#x20AC;Ś I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that those cities are saying that the discrimination that might result is OK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I think what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re recognizing is that this relocation is a different context than just a general payment that might be paid to a tenant.â&#x20AC;?

Council members Mike Jordan and Eric Friedman voted no to the change, making the vote 5 to 2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reality is you have to be able to balance whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out there in the real world: a combination of needy tenants and housing providers and worry about those dynamics,â&#x20AC;? said council member Jordan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a little frustratedâ&#x20AC;Ś that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about a compromise that goes up from where it was originally planned.â&#x20AC;?

Finally, the hearing that was scheduled on the appeal of the Parks and Recreation Commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s failure to vote to approve, conditionally approve or deny the removal of a Deodar Cedar at 2934 Lomita Road was moved to Dec. 8. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Chaisson signs with Westmont College

By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Westmont women’s swimming has signed its first recruit in the high school class of 2021, Ella Chaisson of Burbank, head coach Jill Jones Lin announced Tuesday.

“I’m thrilled to have Ella join our team,” Jones Lin said in a statement. “She comes with a great athletic résumé and love for the sport of swimming.

Additionally, Ella’s passion to build community and create a family environment on our team is incredibly important and I cannot wait to start working with her next year.”

In 2019 as a sophomore at Maranatha High School, Chaisson placed third in the 100-yard breaststroke (1:07.94) and fourth in the 200-yard individual medley (2:11.67) at the CIF-SS Division 4 Championships. She then served as team co-captain as a junior, a

season which was cut short due to COVID-19.

“Spending my high school years at Maranatha, I appreciated the loving and supportive environment,” Chaisson said in a news release. “After visiting Westmont, I felt the same energy and I knew I could call it home.

“I liked that Westmont was a small private college where you can get personal attention in your academics as well as be mentored and develop a strong character.”

Chaisson, who as a sophomore also set a Raiders Invitational 200-yard individual medley record (2:10.72) and placed first in the 100-yard breaststroke (1:07.41) at the Chino Hills Husky Invitational, swims club for the Rose Bowl Swim Team.

“I have been in club swimming since I was 8-years-old and always look forward to taking it to the next level,” Chaisson said.

“I feel the same as I am about to enter college and take swimming

to an even higher level.”

Chaisson’s personal-best times include 1:07.94 in the 100-yard breaststroke, 2:26.56 in the 200yard breaststroke, 2:10.72 in the 200-yard individual medley and 4:38.46 in the 400-yard individual medley.

“When I met Coach Jill and some of the women on the team, I felt that they had a strong bond, like they were a family,” Chaisson said. “I am excited to be in a great environment like this to grow not only as a swimmer but in my character as well.

“After not competing for a while because of the current pandemic, I am excited about competitions and competing once again. I am looking forward to swimming with this new team and being coached by an incredible coach and leader. As a Southern Californian, I am excited about living and swimming in beautiful Santa Barbara.”

“I was amazed how beautiful

it was and how welcoming and inviting the people were,” Chaisson added, regarding her experience visiting Westmont.

“I was also drawn to the strong kinesiology program. I learned that the swim team was relatively new and wanted to be a part of it.”

Chaisson said she plans to major in kinesiology at Westmont in her pursuit of a future career in physical therapy.

Westmont women’s swimming began its 2020-21 season on Nov. 7 as part of the Virtual Quadrangle.

Jones Lin said the team is trying to schedule a second virtual meet before the end of the calendar year, before hopefully competing in a meet in either January or February to allow Warriors to qualify for the NAIA National Championships, which are set to take place from March 3-6 in COURTESY PHOTO Knoxville, Tenn.

Carpinteria High’s Cooney earns Womble Award

By GERRY FALL NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Carpinteria High junior Kate Cooney has received the Phil Womble Ethics in Sports Award from the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table.

The award, which is presented and sponsored by Dave Pintard and the Pintard Group, goes to the student-athlete who best demonstrates the highest

standards of ethics and sportsmanship on their campus.

Cooney, who is the daughter of Carpinteria High athletic director and baseball coach Pat Cooney, is a three-sport standout athlete who participates in cross country, soccer and track and field. Conney also has five varsity letters.

“Her roots run deep (at Carpinteria High) and she’s been such a valuable asset to our athletic department, to our school

and to our campus,” Carpinteria track and field coach Van Latham said. “She epitomizes what it is to be a Warrior. She’s dependable, she’s hard working, she’s very tenacious, but she still competes with class and sportsmanship.”

Cooney, aside from her athletic achievements, is a superstar in the classroom.

She currently carries a 4.67 grade-point average and takes three advanced placement classes

as a junior. Along with her school work, Cooney participates in the marching band, she helps with the yearbook and volunteers at a number of different organizations.

One of the groups for which Cooney volunteers is Respite Inc., in Santa Barbara. It’s an organization that helps children with developmental disabilities, as well as their families. Cooney said she is honored to receive the Round Table’s prestigious award.

“I just want to say thank you to all of my coaches for nominating me for this award,” she said. “It’s a huge honor. I’d also like to thank my parents, my grandparents and all of the people in the Warrior community who have helped shape me to be this person deserving of this award.

“It’s a real honor to get this award. Thank you.”

Pintard also read a statement

from Carpinteria High assistant athletic Charles Bryant during this week’s virtual presentation.

“Kate easily checks off all the above criteria for the Womble Award,” Bryant said in his statement. “As a student-athlete, Kate exemplifies all the qualities that make up the Phil Womble Award. Giving anything less than 100% is not in her vocabulary.” email: gfall@newspress.com

ShelterBox USA nears $300,000 in funds

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

COURTESY PHOTO

Anna Miller of Grover Beach was selected as the new CEO of Peoples’ Self-Help Housing.

ShelterBox USA, a Santa Barbara-based disaster relief organization, is nearing $300,000 in fundraising in its first ever virtual event, which will end up also being its most successful event ever.

Titled “An Evening to Experience ShelterBox,” the event was held on Thursday and hosted by ShelterBox USA President Kerri Murray.

It was live streamed from headquarters in Santa Barbara by over 1,150 people from across the nation, “which is unheard of for a virtual event,” according to Ms. Murray.

“What made this so special was that we were able to be inclusive of volunteers and supporters from across the nation and the world,”

Ms. Murray told the News-Press.

She added that a supporter from Sweden even dialed in in the middle of the night.

ShelterBox response team members shared experiences from their deployments worldwide, highlighting beneficiaries who have received aid.

These include families who lost their homes in Vanuatu following Cyclone Harold and the refugees displaced during COVID-19 who are now living at the Minawao Refugee Camp in Cameroon.

“We thought people would be dropping off after the first five minutes, but the majority stayed on until the very end,” the president continued. “It was incredible, just the amount of engagement throughout.”

ShelterBox has also provided 250,000 displaced people in the Syrian crisis with emergency

shelter and household items, along with providing relief to people affected by Super Typhoon Goni in the Philippines and Hurricane Eta in Central America.

In addition, ShelterBox honored Rotary International with the 2020 Global Humanitarian Service Award, recognizing their partnership.

“I think the work of ShelterBox really, really struck a chord this year,” President Murray said. “I think every person on the planet can really relate to how important their home is and their safety and wellbeing during the COVID crisis.

“When people learned about our work working with displaced families and people who are living in refugee camps with little ability to social distance or isolate, they understand just how important it is for vulnerable people in the world to have access to shelters.”

She encouraged other nonprofits who have had to cancel their live, in-person events to go online and try a virtual event.

President Murray said that virtual events allow organizations to engage with their constituents and be “very inclusive of a broader potential supporter base.”

“I think that’s why people really dug deep and they want to help people who are less fortunate than them, who during this pandemic are really vulnerable,” she concluded. “There’s no chance for a hospital bed for these families, so we have to do everything we can to protect the most vulnerable right now...It’s more important now than ever before.”

The art workshops are now online

At left, staff members and volunteers wheel out the materials on carts for the Saturday sales. Many items are a dollar. At right, sometimes, the supplies are unconventional. One recent donation was a couple rusty aluminum cans. They figured it’d make a good rust dye for an artist and took them in despite their odd nature.

Continued from Page A1 random supplies. Customers are encouraged to get creative and envision materials in a new way.

“I love seeing the kids’ faces when they come into the shop on a field trip,” outreach director Jill Cloutier said. “You can see the wheels spinning in people’s heads.

It was really sparking people’s imagination and creativity.”

About 400 to 500 pounds of materials are donated each week from individuals and local businesses, estimates Ms. Patrick.

“Hundreds of pounds or thousands of pounds of material does not go into the landfill,” she said. “There’s such a big span of what we get, from like a crate to beautiful pieces of beads and jewelry.”

She plans on keeping the online store available even when stores are able to reopen. But for now, everything is virtual, including the field trips.

“There’s a lot of that mental health aspect to crafting and art. At least for me, it’s really important to still have access to those things,” she said.

She will dig around in the

store for her customers when they request certain supplies.

And she’s been able to maintain the school materials program, a service offering bulk supplies to teachers for $1 per student each year.

The art workshops are now online, and they teach a craft to kids every week and a more advanced project every month.

They hope the store’s customers will participate in the 30th birthday celebration by sending in video testimonies and fun anecdotes about their projects.

And, if possible, spare 30 bucks.

Donators will be entered into

a raffle for free workshop tickets and other prizes. Art From Scrap hopes to raise $30,000 and has secured about $2,500 over the first three days.

“We’re so excited that this community treasure has been around for 30 years,” Ms. Cloutier said. “We have so many amazing customers that we’re very appreciative of being a part of this creative hub.”

Paul Allen Stine passed away November 13, 2020. He was 82 years old and a resident of Carpinteria, California for 53 years.

Paul was born in Martinez, California to parents Paul Henry and Eunice Stine on May 7th 1938. His father was a farmer and Welder by trade.

The family moved to Madras, Orgeon from Ottawa, Kansas when Paul was 10 years old. He was an integral part in helping his father establish and maintain their farm. It was the cornerstone of the man he would become.

Hard Work, Discipline and Responsibility was expected and given. Everyday was a learning experience that resonated throughout his life.

In high school Paul participated in all sports and was one of the top five players in three of the four years he played on the Varsity Basketball Team, going to the State Tournament in his senior year.

He attended Oregon Technical Institute in Klamath Falls, Oregon and took courses in metallurgy and drafting.

He earned certification as a Hard Hat-Scuba Diver and did salvage dives in the Great Lakes area, Washington and Oregon. He also participated in a sunken treasure expedition in Costa Rica.

While attending Jr. College, Paul was drafted into the army, he was stationed in Munich, Germany. During his tour of duty, he was a member of his Units Basketball Team playing in exhibition games throughout Europe. He also lifeguarded the pool during the Summer months.

Before he was honorably discharged in 1963 he met his future wife Inga and they married the following year. They resided in Oregon where Paul worked as a Heavy Equipment Operator for Logging Companies. Three years later they moved to California where Paul worked as a Welder on the construction of a Drilling Barge, that led to permanent employment with B+C Welding Inc. located in Carpinteria. Much of the work was offshore so Paul became a familiar face on all the Drilling Platforms in the Santa Barbara Channel. Years later he worked in a supervisory position scheduling, expediting and coordinating jobs and works crews. He established concrete business relationships with Customers, Suppliers and Personnel.

In 1976, after working for the Company for 9 years, Paul became Owner/President of B+C Welding Inc. which lead to continuous growth. Onshore/Offshore capabilities of the Company created jobs in California, Louisiana, Alaska and the far East. Later B+C Fabricators Inc. was established and located in Port Hueneme, California to meet the demand of large structural steel projects. This location was ideal for fabrications to be assembled at a dock facility then transported by Barge to the designated Platforms.

After 38 years of providing quality craftsmanship and services to all customers, Paul retired in 2005. He was a member of the Lions Club and VFW. He loved family gatherings, country music, and fishing, especially for salmon and halibut in Alaska.

He is survived by his Wife Inga of 56 years, Daughter Cindy, Grandchildren Nicole and Austin, Great-grandchildren Jaxxon and Benny; Brother Ken Stine, Sisters Judy Ottenbacher and Nancy Siegenhagen and numerous nieces and nephews.

Continued from Page A1 A public support campaign will begin in the spring.

“Our goal is to make an environment that will inspire students to learn and create.

This new building is designed to mirror the standards of colleges, design firms, and creative businesses, helping to prepare our students for their professional lives,” Mr.

Barnett said. “I’m so proud that, by being awarded this highly competitive state grant, we’re bringing millions of, otherwise inaccessible, dollars back to our local school site.”

The VADA program teaches art and design alongside challenging coursework, including honors programming, AP and dual enrollment. It strives for career readiness and emphasizes desirable job skills.

“VADA is a truly special program, not only in its focus and approach to academic education,

but in the demographics of the students that are part of the academy,” Dr. Elise Simmons, principal of Santa Barbara High School, said in a statement.

“Each year, between 40-50% of the incoming class meet the state’s at-risk criteria outlined by California Partnership Academy guidelines and the program’s ethnic and socio-economic diversity mirrors the population of Santa Barbara High School.

VADA provides equitable access to education and training that is unlike anything else in the

community,” she added.

Around 225 students are enrolled in VADA each year.

“I’m so impressed with the variety of program choices that SBUnified offers to students.

Our students deserve the best programs, experiences and learning opportunities,” Santa Barbara Unified School District Superintendent Hilda Maldonado said in a statement. “21st Century learners require 21st Century facilities and spaces.” email: ahanshaw@newspress.com
