Carbajal supports stimulus bill Congressman tells News-Press passage would mean help soon By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal is praising a stimulus package that the House is expected to vote on next week. If passed by Congress and signed into law, the bill would mean quick help for small businesses including stores and restaurants, unemployed individuals and others in need during the pandemic, Rep. Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, told the News-Press Wednesday. “I think it would be pretty immediate,” he said by phone from Washington, D.C. “Right now, people are hurting throughout the country and in my district,” Rep. Carbajal added. “We need to get this done.” The $908 billion Bipartisan Emergency COVID Relief Act of 2020 would extend all pandemic unemployment insurance benefits by 16 weeks, beyond their expiration on Dec. 31. And it would expand federal supplemental unemployment insurance benefits by $300 per week for 16 weeks, from the end of December into April. The act also provides $300 billion for the Small Business Administration and would allow the hardest-hit small businesses

Jen Lewis, director of religious learning at Congregation B’nai B’rith, prepares lunch bags to distribute during the temple’s celebration of Hanukkah

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Hanukkah begins at sunset tonight and will continue until sundown Dec. 18. To celebrate the Festival of Lights this year, Congregation B’nai B’rith plans to light up the community with acts of service. Each day of Hanukkah, members of the Santa Barbara congregation will observe a “mitzvah,” meaning commandment. Mitzvah Day is usually observed the weekend before Thanksgiving, and the congregation meets for a large act of service. Because of the COVID19 pandemic, CBB merged Mitzvah Day and Hanukkah to make “Mitzvah Week” — eight days of serving inspired by commandments in scripture. “On Mitzvah Day, we see it as an opportunity to serve others. It’s an act of loving kindness, and loving

kindness goes out. We should be kind to ourselves too, but loving kindness is about connecting with others and spreading the love,” said Mariela Socolovsky, director of community engagement at CBB. On the first day, congregation members will practice Leviticus 19:18: “... you shall love your neighbor as yourself…” CBB suggests making cookies for neighbors and friends or dropping off cards. “Given the fact that Hanukkah was coming up, we decided to spin things around like a dreidel, and bring this idea of bringing things to light by doing good things in the word,” Ms. Socolovsky told the News-Press. There are suggestions on each day for acts of service and community organizations to partner with. Throughout the week, there is a toy drive and a coats and blankets drive to Please see hanukkah on A8

Hanukkah begins tonight.

The Solvang City Council passed a resolution this week stating the city will not actively enforce county and state stay-athome orders. The city requested that Santa Barbara County prioritize education and not enforce orders within city limits, which was a motion by Solvang Mayor Ryan Toussaint. The motion passed unanimously with a 5-0 vote at Monday’s council meeting. The council also strongly backed the creation of a new Central Coast Region, which would consist of Santa Barbara, Ventura and San Luis Obispo counties. The region would separate the area from more severe Intensive Care Unit numbers in Los Angeles County and elsewhere. The mayor and council directed city staff to immediately pursue maintaining the status quo of safe, open outdoor dining and other current business practices. Solvang will create an ad hoc committee to work with City Manager Xenia Bradford, other state and local officials and organizations to maintain the current economy, with Mayor Toussaint and City Council member Jim Thomas as likely

appointees to the committee. Authorization was granted for Ms. Bradford to immediately adjust the budget by $10,000 to cover extra expenses related to these actions and for maintaining public safety. The mayor and council sent a letter Monday to the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors. In the letter, Mayor Toussaint wrote, “Significant concerns about the latest round of business shutdowns were expressed by residents, business representatives and our council. The community of Solvang has done a great job at being mindful, safe and responsible while keeping our local economy going during these challenging times. The current order by the state is ill-conceived, unnecessary and quite frankly negligent when it comes to protecting our community in a safe, balanced and sane manner.” The mayor added, “Solvang is a charter city, with a very active community base and a nimble and responsive city government led by a dedicated city council and staff. The city is also unique in that nearly all businesses are small and locally-owned, and with a great dependence on tourism. Even before the March 19 Executive Orders, the city was active in efforts to first contain

Broccolini Broccolini has been a preferred option in my house over broccoli lately. This vegetable delivers a wonderfully sweet presence when cooked. Add it to stir-fry’s and soups, and it’s nice when roasted or grilled. This week I prepared a seared garlic Broccolini dish, the Fix of the Week, on A4. You can currently find this nutrient-packed, winter favorite from several local farmers, such as Juan Mendoza of Mendoza Farms of Lompoc. It’s available at all weekly Santa Barbara certified farmers’ markets. The price averages $3 per bunch.

Satsuma mandarin If you’re looking for a super sweet tangerine, absent of seeds and incredibly easy to peel, this is the one for you. Native to China, this vitamin C-packed fruit produces very well in a number of regions throughout California, including our backyard garden. Enjoy this fruit as it comes or juiced, or incorporate it into a mixed green or Chinese chicken-style salad. Satsuma mandarin is currently available from several local growers at all weekly Santa Barbara certified farmers’ markets. The price ranges from $2.50 to $4 per pound.

Fishing for solutions By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

CSB professor Halley Froehlich collaborated with seven scientists to research the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on aquaculture. The first of two papers was published Nov. 23 in the journal Fish and Fisheries. The study uses real-time data to present a harsh decline in aquaculture after the emergence of COVID-19. Dr. Easton White, a research associate in the biology

department at the University of Vermont, led the study. He wanted to apply the pandemic to his academic discipline and find other researchers in fishery sciences. “I think the pandemic has really revealed a lot of these longstanding stress points that have always been there. But it just became very obvious during this big shock,” he told the News-Press. The research is intended to help pinpoint opportunities for a more resilient industry. “This won’t be the last disruption,” Dr. Froehlich, an aquaculture and fisheries professor, told the News-Press. “And so what can we learn from

that to build in policy to really focus efforts and support for parts of the system that are particularly vulnerable?” The second paper, which is undergoing editing prior to publication, looks at public policy and the potential to create a robust industry in the future. In January, Dr. Froehlich will participate in a committee to create an aquaculture action plan for California. Climate change has shifted the migration patterns of sea life and begun to disrupt fishery operations, she said. Aquaculture must adapt to a changing world. During the pandemic, local

But the industry is nonetheless shaken. “Those types of things that you might be able to have more local demand and local purchasing, those are the kind of things that you can encourage that might be helpful longterm to create a more robust system,” he said. The study looked at trade restrictions’ effect on seafood as well. The U.S. exports lots of fish as well as imports, and the pandemic slowed those exchanges. The researchers studied Google searches to see how consumer

demand changed. Seafood takeout and home cooked recipes increased, but the majority of seafood is consumed in restaurants. “It can be overlooked a lot when we’re talking about food, people kind of forget that seafood is part of the food production system and food system in general. And hopefully they don’t forget that because it’s a really important part,” Dr. Froelich said. The second piece will be published in coming weeks, as researchers seek policy changes to support aquaculture. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

When fresh, these beans are quite sweet and snappy, possessing a stunning splash of pink and purple over its yellow pod. When left on the plants to fully mature, these beans are shelled and then sold for the months to come as a dried bean. For those making a homemade chili, these are an excellent choice. Keep an eye out for hearty, richly flavored dried beans from Two Peas in a Pod Farm of Arroyo Grande, which are available at the weekly Saturday Santa Barbara farmers market. The price is $10 per pound 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; Sam Edelman photos

ost people tend to source broccoli, a winter favorite, for the crown portion, although there are those who are more drawn to the flavor and texture of the stems. When cooking fresh broccoli, I tend to use it in its entirety, with both the florets and connected base finding their way into stirfry’s, roasted veggie trays, soups and salads. The florets, or crown portion of the broccoli plant, act somewhat like a sponge, soaking up any surrounding sauce, seasoning or broth used in the preparation, then slowly released in every tender bite. In contrast, the stem portion, in contrast, delivers a nice subtle crunch to the meal, along with a noticeable sweetness and nutty presence. Broccoli is a very versatile vegetable that I incorporate into my meals at least a few times a week, particularly during the winter when it’s truly in its prime. Lately, however, I have been additionally drawn to a very similar vegetable of which both the stem and floret portion is equally enjoyed: broccolini. Unlike broccoli, which has a relatively thick stem base, broccolini consists of long thin stalks and a more feathery top. Typically much sweeter than broccoli, it can be cooked in a similar fashion as its counterpart. My favorite method recently has been to simply sear it off in a hot pan until just cooked through, finished with some garlic towards the end of the cooking process. I love to incorporate local mushrooms and peppers, when

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. Seared Garlic Broccolini 1 bunch broccolini 3 cloves garlic, minced 3 tablespoons tablespoons olive oil Salt and pepper Parmesan style cheese Trim the base end of your broccolini. Some of the thicker pieces may need to be cut in half

lengthwise. Place garlic in a small bowl and submerge with the olive oil. Let sit for about 15 minutes. In a large sauté pan, bring to high heat and pour the oil from the garlic into the pan, saving the garlic for later use. Once the pan is hot, add broccolini in a single layer, season lightly with salt and pepper, and sear for about 2 minutes. If using mushrooms and/or peppers, you can add those the same time as the broccolini. Then flip the broccolini and cook for another minute before adding the garlic. Toss and continue to cook for another 2 minutes, or until the broccolini is just cooked through. Finish it with shaved or grated Parmesan style cheese. Serve hot. Yield: Serves 2 to 3 sides.

The store remains open at the Sea Center on Stearns Wharf.

Margerum wine makes top 100 list Wine Enthusiast Magazine has recognized the Margerum M5 White Rhône Blend as a Top 100 Wine of the Year at No. 30. The wine is from the Margerum Estate Vineyard, Los Olivos District, and produced by Margerum Wine Co. Wine Enthusiast editors and tasters reviewed more than 25,000 wines to develop a ranking of the top wines tasted over the last 12 months. Margerum earned the No. 30

spot with a score of 94 points. Senior editor Matt Kettmann said of the wine, “Complex and yet utterly refreshing, this estate blend of 45% Grenache Blanc, 21% Marsanne, 14% Viognier, 13% Roussanne and 7% Picpoul Blanc begins with wet stone, chalk, nectarine, Rainier cherry and creamed pear on the crisp nose. The palate sizzles with acidity and ashy, chalky tension, delivering flavors of kiwi, lychee and more

stone fruit.” The suggested retail price for the wine is $28.95. This acknowledgement follows the recognition of other Margerum wines, such as the 2018 Margerum Uber Syrah, the 2018 Margerum Black Oak Vineyard Syrah, the 2018 Margerum Estate Syrah and the 2018 Margerum M5 Red Reserve. — Grayce McCormick

“Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul — and sings the tunes without the words - and never stops at all. “— Emily Dickinson

ARIES — Plans for a trip could go awry today because of circumstances beyond your control. A postponement might be necessary. This might prove very frustrating for you because you’ve been anxious to get going. Don’t question the workings of the universe, and don’t make yourself crazy over it. Whatever setbacks you suffer today might in the long run prove to be blessings in disguise. TAURUS — An upsetting dream may disturb your sleep tonight, Taurus. Some disturbing information about finances could prove upsetting today. This might involve your personal funds, those of a friend, the funds of an organization you’re involved with, or the world economy in general. Don’t go crazy before you find out the true facts. The information is probably erroneous. GEMINI — It could be hard to complete tasks today. A disagreement with other household members might give you the idea that everyone is against you. This isn’t so, Gemini. Try to be objective and consider other points of view, and don’t turn this into a power struggle. Stay calm, take a deep breath, and try to communicate with the others. The results could prove pleasantly surprising! CANCER — Today you might need to run a lot of errands, Cancer. This could prove frustrating. Traffic could be bad, you might not find what you need, and it may be difficult to reach those you need to consult. These are all circumstances beyond your control, so it’s best to find something else to do. This is a great day to stay in and research matters that you may want to put to use. LEO — Your practicality and good sense prove invaluable today, Leo. Those close to you might be restless and upset, and you might have to steer them in the right direction. A close friend or lover may experience a financial upset, and you could be asked to help out. This isn’t a good day to make a loan, although it’s favorable for helping others find their own solutions. VIRGO — A problem with your house - plumbing, electricity, phones - might necessitate calling in professionals, Virgo. This might prove mildly irritating, as strangers could be going in and out all day, and you or other members of your household might be temporarily housebound when you have obligations elsewhere. Don’t take +*#!2 +1$)"$your frustrations out on others. This will all pass by tomorrow!

LIBRA — An unexpected, upsetting letter or phone call might come today. This isn’t major bad news, Libra. It’s more likely to be the irritating little setbacks that force you to go more out of your way than you’d expected. Problems might pop up with computers, cell phones, or other forms of technology. Grit your teeth and do what it takes to move on. It won’t help to get crazy. SCORPIO — A sudden, irritating interruption in your routine could come your way today, Scorpio. A friend may need some advice, and you could feel obliged to give it, which would put your own projects on hold for a while. Don’t be too irritated with this person, however. You might regret it later. You might also have some troubles with computers, cell phones, or other forms of technology. SAGITTARIUS — Today your progress might slow a bit. Problems with computers, telephones, cell phones, or other forms of technology might interrupt your day, Sagittarius. This might be frustrating and irritating. Even though you don’t usually blow your top, today you might be tempted. Try to keep your cool. This should pass by tomorrow. You don’t want to make others more upset than they already are. CAPRICORN — Unforeseen problems with travel plans could come up today, Capricorn. There could be changes or delays in airline schedules, car breakdowns, or bad traffic. It might be a good idea to avoid travel of any sort if you can. It might stress you so much it would take you all day to calm down! This is a great day to stay in and read, especially about scientific or metaphysical subjects. AQUARIUS — Arguments over money might come up, Aquarius. This might not involve your own funds but money belonging to a group with which you’re involved. Try to be logical. This isn’t a good day to set your sights on new goals or make definite plans. Wait a day or two. If you start today, your project could be fraught with delays, interruptions, or disagreements. PISCES — A disagreement with a business or romantic partner could turn into an argument today. This won’t do anything to increase the effectiveness of your relationship, Pisces. If the smallest hint of a difference of opinion comes up, try to settle it before it gets too heated. Try to be objective and see the other person’s point of view. Don’t let a minor dispute turn into a power struggle.

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.

Goleta completes Old Town Sidewalk Project By GERRY FALL NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The city of Goleta has completed the Old Town Sidewalk Improvement Project. The contractor concluded the remaining work before Thanksgiving. Since then, residents have strolled around Old Town neighborhoods on continuous sidewalks with access ramps at the intersections. The project was substantially finished months ahead of schedule and was under budget as

well, according to a news release. The city and city’s construction management team, Filippin Engineering, worked with Southern California Edison, Frontier Communications and Cox Communications to relocate their facilities in a timely manner. As soon as they did so, the contractor was able to complete the remaining sidewalk voids that were left for utility work. “We are excited to see and hear all the positive comments and enthusiasm from the residents,” Goleta Senior Project Engineer

James Winslow said. “They immediately began using the new sidewalks, access ramps, additional parking and roadway improvements as soon as they were finished. “The Public Works Department is grateful for residents’ initial input during the design phase and their continued patience during construction activities,” Mr. Winslow said. “This project would not have succeeded without the community’s help.” email: gfall@newspress.com

Joey Hickox, owner and operator of Chick-fil-A at Enos Ranch, presents Allan Hancock College Superintendent/President Kevin G. Walthers with a $10,000 scholarship donation.

Chick-fil-A creates scholarship SANTA MARIA — Chick-fil-A at Enos Ranch established a new scholarship this week for Allan Hancock College. The business made a $10,000 donation to the Allan Hancock College Foundation. The scholarship will be available to students who work for the local branch of the restaurant starting in fall 2021. Chick-fil-A at Enos Ranch owner/operator Joey Hickox presented Allan Hancock College Superintendent/President Kevin G. Walthers with a ceremonial

check to mark the occasion. “At any one time, we have about 30 Chick-fil-A employees who are also Hancock students, and many more who will probably become Hancock students,” said Hickox, who opened the franchised location on Betteravia Road in 2018. “Partnering with the college on this scholarship is a great way to support my employees while benefiting the community.” Dr. Walthers said financial support from local businesses like Hickox is critical to building

up the local economy. “Scholarships at Hancock can help change the odds for hard working folks in our city,” said Dr. Walthers. “Over 90 percent of Hancock students are from northern Santa Barbara County, so contributions toward their success is a direct investment in improving our community. Thanks to Mr. Hickox and the Chick-fil-A team, more students will be able to continue their education.” — Gerry Fall

No. 11 UCLA stands tall against Gaucho women, 102-45 By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

The stat computer at UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion could no longer handle the data overload coming from its women’s basketball team on Wednesday, short-circuiting with 81 seconds left in the first half. By that time, the No. 11 Bruins led UCSB by 27 points while on their way to spoiling the Gauchos’ season opener, 102-45, in a rare morning game on Wednesday. UCLA out-shot UCSB 50.6% to 29.8%, making 10 of its 20 threepointers. It also out-rebounded the Gauchos 55-20. The Bruins reclaimed more of their own misses (22) than UCSB got in total rebounds. “They got what they’ve been getting,” UCSB coach Bonnie Henrickson said of the powerful Bruins. “We got something on film and now we’ll go play somebody else.” All but one of the seven Bruins who played more than 10 minutes are 6-feet or taller. All of UCSB’s players except 6-foot-4 senior Natalia Bruening are under 6-feet. “They bring a lot of size on the perimeter and they took advantage of that on the glass,” Henrickson said. “But we’re not going to make excuses. We still have to box out.” Senior point guard Danae Miller led the Gauchos with 16 points on 6-of-11 shooting which included a pair of three-pointers. “She played very well, it was a good confidence boost for her,” Henrickson said. “She got downhill and was aggressive, pulled up and shot in rhythm. “She’s the most experienced guard we have. She’s the most capable of handling the physicality of what they were

bringing on the perimeter.” Doris Jones, a transfer from Diablo Valley Community College, added 11 points. She made 3-of-6 shots from three but struggled to get an open shot inside against the towering Bruins, making only 1-of-9 from two-point range. Bruening and Mira Shulman led UCSB in rebounds with just three apiece. Shulman had a solid game off the bench with four assists and two steals. UCLA (3-1) balanced its scoring, with seven Bruins at nine points or better. Preseason All-American Michaela Onyenwere finished with a double-double of 17 points and 10 rebounds, becoming the 19th Bruin to reach the milestone of 1,500 career points. “If I were a WNBA coach, there would be no doubt that she would be a top-five draft pick, for sure,” UCLA coach Cori Close said. “She’s not even scratching the surface. She’s going to be such a great pro.” There was no let up the entire way for the Bruins, who considered it a bounce-back game after having lost at No. 7 Arizona last week. “Coach Cori always talks about how it’s not about the opponents, that it’s about us,” Onyenwere said. “Going into this game, we knew we had to execute a game plan, bounce back from the Arizona weekend, and just do what we needed to do to keep in our identity. And that is, executing a scouting report, being really disciplined, playing as a team and just moving on emotion. “I think we really did a good job, and that this is a stepping stone.” Close, who got her 200th win as the Bruins’ head coach with last week’s win at Arizona State, is a former UCSB player and assistant coach who was inducted into the

school’s Hall of Fame in 2005. The Gauchos, who had their first three games including the UCLA contest canceled when a staff member tested positive for COVID-19, were missing four players. They included AllAmerica center Ila Lane, who has opted out of the season because of the coronavirus. “I’m just really thankful that we were able to get this game in, and I’m really appreciative of Bonnie Henrickson and the UCSB administration, that they worked so hard to reschedule this game,” Close said. “Obviously for me, I’m really humbled and grateful for my time at UC Santa Barbara. It formed who I am now.” Her Bruins wasted no time in humbling the Gauchos. They outscored UCSB 14-2 in the first five-plus minutes. The Gauchos responded with a jumper by Bri Anugwom and a three by Jones, but UCLA closed out the first quarter with a seven-point run that included back-to-back threes by Charisma Osborne and Onyenwere. “I know we shared the ball really well,” Onyenwere said. “It’s really hard to guard us when we have so many options and are so versatile.” Osborne led all scorers with 18 points while Chantel Hovat, a 6-1 guard, responded to her first start of the season with a double-double of 17 points and 12 rebounds.

“I felt we needed to have a little more physical presence, and especially on the defensive end,” Close said. The shorthanded Gauchos, who face Cal Baptist in their home opener on Friday at 5 p.m., hope

to add three players in the coming weeks. Aliceah Hernandez is awaiting medical clearance while Megan Anderson and Taylor Mole are awaiting the NCAA Council’s Dec. 16 vote on the waiver of mandatory redshirt seasons for

transfers. “We’re disappointed, obviously, but it’s not like we’re not going to bounce back,” Henrickson said. “They understand, they were good in the locker room, and we’ll clean things up. Friday is another

opportunity.” “We got some good experience. So many of our players are new. In the long run, it’s good to have stuff on film. We’ll use it to get better.” email: mpatton@newspress.com

Westmont falls to UC Irvine in overtime By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Westmont College ran out of gas in overtime after rallying from an 11-point deficit during the final two minutes of regulation in its 91-78 women’s basketball defeat at UC Irvine on Wednesday. Stefanie Berberabe led the comeback, scoring eight of her game-high 25 points in the final minute of regulation. They included a game-tying runner with just 0.5 seconds on the clock. The Warriors, now 0-2 against NCAA Division 1 competition, got a left-handed runner by Sydney Brown with 1:37 left to ignite a 13-2 run to finish the fourth quarter. Brown finished with 12 points and five rebounds before fouling out. Krissy Miyahara’s three-pointer from the corner with 46.1 seconds remaining added to Berberabe’s eight-point flurry in the final minute of regulation. Iyree Jarrett contributed 17 points and four steals while Lauren Tsuneishi added 13 points before fouling out. The Warriors were called for 31 fouls, many committed out of the necessity of stopping the clock. UCI (1-2) made 27-of-41 free throws, with Kayla Williams going 14-for-20 to lead the Anteaters with 24 points. Westmont got three-pointers from Tsuneishi, Berberabe and Jarrett to take a 13-7 lead in the first six minutes. A step-back jumper by Berberabe and another three by Tsuneishi kept the Warriors ahead at 18-15 with 37.2 seconds left in the first period. But Westmont went cold to surrender its lead during the second quarter, missing 17 of 18 shots in one stretch which included 1-for-15 shooting from 3-point range. For the game, the Warriors were out-shot by Irvine 56% to 33.8% overall and 40% to 25.6% from three. They stayed in the game by scrambling for rebounds, reclaiming 13 of their misses in the first half alone. Westmont out-rebounded the Anteaters 2518 during the first two periods. Jarrett’s three kept the Warriors

within a point, 27-26, by halftime. Brown scored six of her 12 points in the first three minutes of the second half to put Westmont ahead 34-31. But Irvine answered with a 13-3 run and never trailed again. The Anteaters nearly evened out the rebound numbers by game’s end, trailing the Warriors just 44-42. Chloe Webb led UCI with 15 rebounds — nine during the second half and overtime — while Destiny Okonkwo led Westmont with eight rebounds. The Warriors will play another Big West Conference school when they travel to Long Beach State on Saturday for a 2 p.m. game.

WESTMONT MEN’S GAME CANCELED DUE TO COVID Landon Boucher’s debut as Westmont College’s head men’s basketball coach was delayed once again when La Sierra College announced that it was suspending all of its athletic competition because of a surge of COVID-19 cases in Riverside County. The two teams had been scheduled to play at Murchison Gym on Wednesday night. Westmont’s next game is at Murchison Gym on Friday at 6 p.m. against Concordia College of Irvine. La Sierra made the decision after Riverside County announced 10,949 new COVID-19 cases on Tuesday. The number was in part the result of a testing backlog but also represents a sharp increase from recent days. Los Angeles County, with a population four times the size of Riverside County, has yet to have a day with that many cases of the coronavirus. It marks the second time in the last five days that Westmont has had a game canceled. Friday’s exhibition contest at Pacific was called off when a member of the Tigers’ program tested positive for COVID-19. The Warriors also had games against Saint Katherine’s and Antelope Valley canceled. They did play an exhibition contest at Cal State Northridge.

materialize, the desired result of getting out of the stay-at-home order is entirely dependent on the tricounty’s ICU capacity remaining high. “The outcome of this request really will be determined by the COVID cases and our ICU availability in the county, which can change,” she said. Former state senator HannahBeth Jackson said she understands the frustration Central Coast residents feel about being lumped in with Southern California, and that it “reflects a frustration that we have in the Central Coast.” That frustration she said is “being essentially ignored in so many ways throughout the state.” “We are frequently the afterthought,” she stated. Nonetheless, the senator believes the county should remain under a stay-at-home order. Should the tri-counties be removed from the Southern California Region and its stay-athome order, she believes the area will experience an influx of out-oftowners from harder hit counties like Los Angeles County, as it did over the summer. This would thereby bring higher levels of COVID-19 to the Central Coast at a time when cases are already rising and a vaccine is not yet available. “Anything we can do to reduce the spread of this deadly virus is important for us to do,” she said.

“agreement in principle” to provide $160 billion to state, local and tribal governments. But at this point, the act does not include stimulus checks that would go to taxpayers. Rep. Carbajal said he hopes the bill is revised to include those checks. The bill is based on a proposal by the House’s bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, of which Rep. Carbajal is a member. “We came to the realization that the leadership on both sides were having trouble getting to a number,” the congressman told the News-Press. “The Republicans wanted $500 million less, and the Democrats wanted over $2 trillion. I think we hit a sweet spot by coming short of a trillion dollars. “At this point, we seem to have bipartisan support,” said Rep. Carbajal, who expects there are enough votes for the bill to pass in the House and Senate, provided Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell brings the bill to the floor. Rep. Carbajal said the bill could go up for a vote in the House as early as Monday, but would have to be voted on no later than Dec. 18. The congressman said the bill emulates the CARES Act that Congress passed in a bipartisan fashion earlier this year. He noted the new proposal will help both retail outlets and

restaurants as well as workers, families, health care providers and others providing critical services. “This is a shot in the arm,” Rep. Carbajal said. “We need to come together and make sure we’re successful in getting this done now.” In addition to unemployment benefits, the act covers everything from emergency family and medical leave to rental assistance, forbearance of student loans, rental insurance, eviction forbearance and moratorium on foreclosures. “This funding is basically a down payment on additional assistance that very likely will be needed again in the upcoming year,” Rep. Carbajal said. In addition to helping unemployed individuals and small businesses, the act provides money for COVID-19 testing, tracing, and vaccine development and distribution. Rep. Carbajal, meanwhile, said he supports efforts to separate Santa Barbara, Ventura and San Luis Obispo counties from the Southern California Region used in ICU statistics for COVID-19. Rep. Carbajal this fall tested positive for COVID-19. He said he is recovering well but is still dealing with symptoms. “I get fatigued easily and unexpectedly during the day, and I feel like I need to take a nap.

Individual municipalities don’t have the ability to override the state and county orders, according to County Deputy District Attorney John Savrnoch. “If the city determines they’re not going to use their assets to enforce the orders, that’s one thing,” he told the News-Press. “Particularly, with a smaller city, it doesn’t necessarily change anything. A city like Solvang wouldn’t have the resources to do a significant amount of education or enforcement anyway.” Mr. Savrnoch said that any restaurants that stay open or open back up “do so at their own peril.” “At any point in time, the ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Control) could come into Solvang and do a sweep one night where they visit restaurants … and see a licensed entity serving customers on premise and it’s a very simple violation,” he said. “It would be very easy, particularly in the context of restaurants, for the state to come in and issue a number of violations, which would functionally close a lot of businesses if they did that.” While Mr. Pavrnoch referred to

provide resources to the Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation and PATH Santa Barbara, a homeless shelter. The projects were chosen to engage all members of the congregation, young and old. Judaism has a guiding principle called “tikkun olam,” which means “repair the world.” There’s a sense of social justice in the congregation. “We associate this time with miracles, things that are beyond life,” Ms. Socolovsky said. “We want to make sure we can help rebalance the justice in the world.” Every night, the congregation comes together via Zoom to light a candle on the menorah. Members will talk about each day’s mitzvah and sing. “We used to get together in person,” she said. “We had to find a way to transcend the building and stay connected, even though physically we can’t be together, and still generate the feeling of togetherness and community.” Even though they must celebrate remotely, CBB will still have its Hanukkah Teen Cabaret, a lively event where teens present their talents.

Solvang’s letter and resolution as “a statement by the city that they want to protect their retailers, their restaurants and their tasting rooms,” it won’t do much, and he said he could see more municipalities joining the movement. “We have been under some form of restriction now for coming up on nine months, which is pretty close to a year,” he said. “You have people who are trying to save their businesses, feed their employees and just get on with their life. “It’s understandable that this movement would be coming, but on the flip side of that, we have the highest rates of infection and highest rates of deaths we’ve had from this pandemic since it started. Those two factors are meeting and they’re coming into play at the same time.” In a “Message from the Mayor” sent to Solvang businesses on Wednesday, obtained by the News-Press, the city announced that while “we cannot overrule the governor or the county,” the city has a plan to repurpose outdoor patio spaces for public use during the lockdown. “The thought is that businesses can provide take-out food, and diners can then utilize these appropriate, safe and convenient spaces rather than overwhelming the city park benches, curbs, walls or other less appropriate spaces,” the letter reads. “While we do not yet have feedback from the county or state regulators on this plan, and can make no guarantees to businesses as to how those other agencies will respond, we think it would be irresponsible to leave this pending problem without city response and public protections. “It would similarly be a terrible waste of all of your substantial efforts and investment to meet the recommendation of public health experts in setting up those outdoor spaces.” The city drafted a short-term lease agreement to businesses with appropriate outdoor spaces, and the lease is terminable by either party at any time if circumstances change. A similar

arrangement may be provided to businesses with appropriate street furniture under city encroachment permits such as the closure area of Copenhagen Drive. Regarding opening against state and county orders, the letter read, “The city has reached out to, and will continue to try to work with, the County Sheriff’s Office, health department and ABC. So far, they have not made any commitments to work with the city’s request for deferred enforcement, but the city is continuing those conversations and hopes that along with the county’s request to the state, some loosening may be possible.” The letter continued, “However, businesses regulated by the County Health Department or ABC do run the risk of action by such regulators. You must accordingly make your own decisions for your businesses and families. The city will help to the extent we can, but we are all still subject to state regulation and interpretation.” The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors unanimously voted Tuesday to send a letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom that Santa Barbara County be removed from the Southern California Region and considered part of a Central Coast Region. Neither Santa Barbara nor Ventura nor San Luis Obispo County have reached less than 15% ICU capacity. In fact, Santa Barbara County currently has 51% of ICU beds available. Hard-hit counties like Los Angeles County drag down the region’s total ICU capacity, and board members argued that Santa Barbara County doesn’t deserve to be dragged down by those counties. Solvang city leaders asked that Santa Barbara County be removed from “yet another California ‘one size fits all’ mistake, which will destroy our community,” according to the letter. email: gmccormick@newspress. com

Clydell was born in Burbank, California on July 3, 1932, daughter of the late Clyde and Lorna Wallace. Clydell was raised in Palmdale California. Upon graduating from Antelope Valley High School, she attended Orange Coast College, graduating with an AA degree in Art. It was at this time she met and fell in love with her future husband of 67 years, Guy A. Coats. After a brief courtship, Guy and Clydell were married on November 1, 1953 at the Little Church of the Flowers in Los Angeles California. Guy and Clydell lived in Palmdale for a short time, eventually relocating to Orange County California, where Guy established a successful real estate and development business. They spent the next 10 years raising their 3 children in a home Clydell designed in Tustin.

LOCAL TEMPS

In 1980, Guy and Clydell moved to Santa Barbara, California. Together, they created a lovely home on a hill overlooking the ocean in The Hope Ranch. They became members of El Montecito Presbyterian Church and made many good friends in the community. In 1990 they moved to Bozeman Montana, spending several years on a cattle ranch in the beautiful Bridger Canyon valley. Their later years together were blessed with family, adventure and travel including time spent in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand where they restored a turn-of-the-century farm house. In 2009 they returned to Santa Barbara, settling in to a home in the Alisal Ranch in Solvang, California.
