Solvang’s newly seated mayor and city council members reversed the previous council’s decision to not follow state stay-at-home orders, citing that the decision put the health and safety of the public at risk.

Newly seated Solvang mayor, City Council members stop revolt against stay-at-home order By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The newly seated Solvang Mayor and City Council members came out swinging immediately after being sworn in. The former council announced last week that Solvang would not actively enforce county and state stay-at-home orders, a unanimous decision by the council in addition to sending a letter requesting a new Central Coast region. However, new Mayor Charlie Uhrig had different plans, and after being sworn in alongside Council members Clau Orona and Mark Infanti, he told local businesses and residents to

Wednesday morning, Southwest Airlines announced its intent to serve Santa Barbara Municipal Airport starting the second quarter of 2021.

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

At long last, residents and visitors of the Santa Barbara area will be able to fly Southwest. The airline announced Wednesday morning its intent to serve Santa Barbara Municipal Airport starting in the second quarter of 2021. After the first of the year, Southwest will announce the number of frequencies, destinations and fares, according to Airport Business Development Manager Deanna Zachrisson. So, as of right now, that information is yet to come. As one of the nation’s largest airlines, Southwest provides connecting service to more than 100 destinations in the continental U.S., Hawaii and beyond. “What typically happens in markets where Southwest goes in, they’re known for this Southwest effect,” Ms. Zachrisson told the News-Press. “They come in and tend to have lower fares and they tend to put pressure on prices, so there’s more competition and prices tend to come down. “So, there’s demand out there for air service, and we know that we are typically losing it a lot of the time to airports to the south of us.”

Members of the community, the city, the hospitality industry, local business and the education sector have been working for years to bring Southwest’s no-fuss, low-fare service to the region. “The pandemic has not been a good thing generally for all air travel, so we are really excited Southwest is coming next year, hopefully at a point in time when everyone can travel,” Ms. Zachrisson said. A recent forecast by UCSB estimated 1,200 new jobs and more than $300 million in annual economic benefit as a result of Southwest’s service. UCSB Economics Professor and Director of the UCSB Economic Forecast Project Dr. Peter Rupert told the News-Press that he met some of the executives for Southwest, and “Santa Barbara has always been high on their list,” he said. “I think because of the pandemic, they saw some real opportunities,” Dr. Rupert added. “The best I could tell was that they realized business travel is not going to come back as fast as leisure travel. “When things open up and people are ready to go, they’re going to go… I think they (Southwest) view Santa Barbara Please see southwest on A8

Two Santa Barbara City Council members voted not to send a letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom requesting the release of the Central Coast region from the regional stay-at-home order. With a 5-2 vote, the letter will still be sent and signed individually by the mayor and four council members. Mayor Pro Tempore Kristen Sneddon and Council member Oscar Gutierrez were the two dissenting votes. “This isn’t the time to celebrate and open our doors and invite a party downtown,” Ms. Sneddon said in the final regular meeting of the year on Tuesday. “I don’t believe it’s safe for the workers in restaurants to be pressured to be serving other members of the population at risk of their own health.” She said that she would rather send a letter to the governor asking for financial relief to

help those struggling with the closures. “We’re L.A.’s playground and backyard,” she added. “They’re putting stricter restrictions than the state is because they’re out of beds. “If we’re the only place open around and we think that we won’t have people highly exposed coming to visit. “It’s just not the time. We’re in the final, final stretch.” Mr. Gutierrez shared that he was recovering from COVID-19 himself. “I understand the situation that our business owners and residents are in, in regards to their employment and livelihoods,” he said. “I do not want you to lose your business but I sure as hell don’t want you to lose your health or your life. “The people who brought the virus to me, they weren’t from this county. They were from the SoCal counties,” he said. Please see council on A6

comply with state law. “Our newly seated council believed the decision to keep the ‘status quo,’ albeit with the best intentions, put the health and safety of the public at risk,” Mayor Uhrig told the NewsPress. “The old decision could also potentially put the city at risk of being held liable for possible damages from tourists or business’s staff who may have contracted COVID-19 in their outdoor dining areas, not to mention possibly losing state grants or emergency funds to assist the businesses during this pandemic.” He said in the meeting on Tuesday that he’s “not in favor

Orange carrots These sweet flavorful carrots are really starting to reach their prime as they thrive in the cool soil. Best during the winter months, orange carrots are excellent in both raw and cooked preparations. This week I incorporated them into a chicken chili dish, the Fix of the Week on A4. You can currently find freshly harvested orange carrots at all weekly Santa Barbara certified farmers’ markets from dozens of local producers. They’re certified organic available at all markets. The price averages $2 per bunch or pound.

Purple Brussels sprouts Brussels sprouts have been excellent this year, and I have been thoroughly enjoying them at least a couple of times a week. Last night I enjoyed these petite purple Brussels in a stir fry with carrots, sugar snap peas, broccolini and shiitake mushrooms. Retaining their purple color when cooked, they are an exciting find that you likely won’t encounter in the grocery store. Delivering a nuttier flavor than their green counterparts, these sprouts are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. They’re available at the Saturday Santa Barbara farmers markets from Two Peas in a Pod Farm, price is $10 per pound.

In wine vocabulary, and according to a senior editor of Wine Enthusiast Magazine, the Margerum M5 White Rhône Blend “sizzles the palate with acidity and ashy, chalky tension, delivering flavors of kiwi, lychee and more stone fruit.” In regular English, and according to Doug Margerum himself: “It’s just a super delicious wine.” Whether it’s the five different grapes included in the wine or its persistence from the front to the back of the palate, it clearly won No. 30 in the top 100 for a “riesling.” “It’s a team effort to make these wines and grow these grapes. It’s just as much to their credit as mine,” Mr. Margerum told the News-Press. “Just to be able to introduce a wine like this to people who might be reluctant to try a white wine … We were really stoked about that.” This team player mindset is evident in many of Mr. Margerum’s projects, including collaboration in the community. In 2019, he partnered with Bob Oswaks with Bob’s Well Bread Bakery in Los Alamos, creating two wines sold exclusively at the bakery and restaurant. Although many private labels are associated with buying bulk wine, Mr. Margerum said collaborations like this allow for his partner’s personal curation of wines and helps build their brand. “(Other businesses) can come up and do their own blends and really own it,” he said. “They’re not just bulk wine. It’s in the same league as Margerum.” Margerum Wine Co. is about

Cara cara oranges This variety of sweet seedless navel orange was first encountered in Venezuela in the 1970s. Unlike a standard navel orange that has an orange flesh, cara cara oranges possess a pink hue. They are quite aromatic, juicy and flavorful with subtle notes of berry flavor throughout. Readily available in our area from December through February, they are currently available from a number of local citrus growers at the weekly Saturday Santa Barbara, Sunday Camino Real, Tuesday Santa Barbara, Wednesday Solvang and Friday Montecito farmers’ markets. The price averages $2 per pound.

But there’s a big difference between selling 112 individual cases versus 112 cases to one individual.” While in-person dining and sipping glasses of wine in public isn’t an option in this phase of the pandemic, Margerum Wine Co. delivers bottles and cases of wine for free in the southern parts of the county including Goleta,

he winter season brings with it a little less selection than the summer and fall can provide. Some plants, such as tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers, simply can’t survive the evening chill. Stone fruit trees are now bare and dropping their leaves; same goes with the grape vines and fig trees. With the absence of those crops, however, others begin to take their place. Sweet tangerines, kiwifruit, cherimoya and apples are top picks when it comes to winter fruits. Additionally, many of our annual staples are starting to reach their peak flavor, including broccoli, kale, cauliflower, beets and carrots. Root vegetables love the loose, cold, wintery soil, with sugar levels intensifying over the coming months. The carrots I purchased this past week were by far the sweetest and most flavorful of the year thus far, and am expecting them to get even better as we round into January. Carrots are one item we eat in our house on most days of a week in one form or another — whether shredded and tossed in a salad, used in a slaw, added to spring rolls or in cooked preparations such as soups, stews, stir-fry’s, grilled or roasted. This week I incorporated these super sweet carrots into my first chili of the year. While I usually use ground beef or bison, I decided to go with a chicken chili instead. You can also easily omit the meat if a vegetarian chili is your preference. I happened to still have some really nice Anaheim chili peppers in my refrigerator that went into the dish, although poblanos would be a nice substitute or even some bell pepper if you don’t want any added heat.

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. CHICKEN CHILI 2 cups dried beans (I used dried dragon tongue beans from Two Peas in a Pod Farm at the Saturday Santa Barbara farmers market, but you can use and you prefer such as pinto, black, northern or Peruano.) 2 14-ounce cans tomato sauce (or use diced or stewed tomatoes, or use your own fresh tomatoes) 3 medium carrots, peeled and diced small 1 large onion, diced small 6 cloves garlic, minced 3-4 Anaheim or Poblano peppers (or bell peppers for less heat), diced small 4 cups chicken stock/broth or water 2 6-ounce chicken breasts ¼ cup chili powder 1 tablespoon seasoned salt 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 tablespoon dried or fresh thyme or oregano leaves (or use 1-2 bay leaves) Presoak your beans for 4-6 hours or overnight. Strain and rinse, then add to a slow cooker (can also be done at low heat on the stovetop). Add remaining ingredients and mix. Then, set to slow cooker to high setting and cook for about 3 hours. Remove chicken and dice or shred and set aside. Continue cooking for another 1-2 hours or until desired consistency is reached. Add chicken back and mix in. Taste, and add more seasoning as needed to taste. Serve warm with desired toppings such as cabbage, cilantro, shredded cheese, avocado and/or sour cream. Yield: Serves 6.

ARIES — Get out of the mud, Aries. Have fun and don’t worry too much about the consequences. Put your to-do list aside for a while and focus on enjoying yourself. People close to you are going to need some extra attention today, so be generous with your time. Your emotions are powerful and dynamic. The intensity behind your words reflects your passion. TAURUS — Your emotions may be volatile right now, Taurus. There’s passion behind your words. You have the power to instigate major changes in your life. If you’re wise, you will consider multiple ways to make them. Find the part of you that needs a boost, the area that lacks passion. Jump-start the battery that rules this aspect of your being, and make sure all your cylinders are firing. GEMINI — If you aren’t careful about the energy you dish out today, Gemini, you will find that it all comes back to smack you in the face. Other people are likely to be as stubborn as you, so proceed cautiously. The more you try to control and manipulate others, the more friction will build. Things are likely to explode. Adopt a friendly attitude and try not to take anything too seriously. CANCER — Today is a fantastic day for you, Cancer. You should enjoy a good mood and positive experiences with others. There’s most likely a slow-moving, transforming energy in your life right now that’s touching off your emotions. You will find that there is a great deal of fire and passion fueling your heart, so be generous with your kind spirit and follow through with your promises. LEO — Other people may be demanding of you, Leo, so do what you can to please them. Don’t go overboard in thinking you need to be someone you’re not, and certainly don’t do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. Be generous with your affection, but make sure you receive emotional support in return. There are likely to be some imbalances that need minor adjustments. VIRGO — People may be somewhat selfish and self-centered today, but this doesn’t mean that you have to follow suit, Virgo. Remind others of the importance of the collective. We all need to pitch in and do our part to be happy. You have the ability to offer balance to the situation, and you should definitely put this to the +*#!2 +1$)"$test. Do what you can to make the

HOROSCOPE scales tip back to center. LIBRA — It may not be the easiest day to relate to others, Libra, but as usual, if you just go with the flow, you will find that you can have fun. Try not to get caught up in anyone else’s drama. There are likely to be soap operas playing all around you, and you would do well to steer clear of them. Maintain a lighthearted attitude today and try not to read into anything too deeply. SCORPIO — Things should flow extremely well for you, Scorpio. Load your engine with extra fuel, because you will be burning red hot. Don’t let anything stand in your way. By all means, fight for what you need. There’s a great deal of power behind your emotions, and you will find that the intensity of your feelings is real and courageous whether you’re laughing or crying. SAGITTARIUS — You need bigger and longer hugs than usual today, Sagittarius. A powerful force is moving through your life and trying to shake things up. Don’t stoop to the level of petty argument and verbal sparring. The more you resist the opposition, the more stubborn and unwieldy the situation becomes. Make sure you have a good hold on your emotions before you leave the house. CAPRICORN — Act with courage today, Capricorn. Dress as if you were going to meet an important statesman. See yourself in the mirror and be proud to say you look good. Act with confidence and feel free to strut your stuff. Be upfront with your accomplishments, and let people know you’re strong and trustworthy. Make sure you give many compliments, credit, and thanks to the people around you. AQUARIUS — Be conscious of your own needs, Aquarius, and feel free to be a little selfish. Give yourself the credit you deserve, and don’t let other people bully you into feeling like you aren’t worthy of the attention you receive. You have a great number of gifts to offer the world, and you shouldn’t be afraid to show them off. Lighten up and be proud. Other people are lucky to know you. PISCES — Your energy and spunk should finally return after a couple days of feeling slightly down, Pisces. You should enjoy a good mood all day. Your powers of persuasion are strong. There’s an extra boost of energy behind your emotions. You will find that this could lead to some sort of transformation deep within. Whatever you do, do it with passion. Let your courageous nature shine through.

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.

Dons’ quarterback Deacon Hill sticks to his commitment and signs with Wisconsin By MARK PATTON

NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Santa Barbara High football quarterback Deacon Hill, surrounded by a UCLA-educated sports family, took the advice of his siblings and future brother-inlaw and signed with a Power-five football conference on Wednesday. But it wasn’t the Bruins. “They all told me to go to Wisconsin,â€? Hill said with a laugh after signing with the Badgers during a National Letter of Intent ceremony at newly reconstructed Peabody Stadium. Hill’s three older sisters — Sami, Kodi and Abbi — are all either former or current UCLA water polo All-Americans. Sami’s fiancĂŠ, Sam Tai, played on the offensive line for the Bruins’ football team. “You would think they would all tell me to go to their alma mater, but no,â€? said Hill, the youngest of Pe’a and Cindy Hill’s four children. “They told me that Wisconsin is the place I need to be. “A lot of schools tried to come in, but Wisconsin has my heart.â€? His parents had both played basketball in college — Pe’a at BYU-Hawaii and his mother, the former Cindy Battistone, at BYU’s main campus in Provo, Utah. But Pe’a, who had also played football at Fresno City College, named his son, partly at least, after former Los Angeles Rams star Deacon Jones. “I can’t speak enough about Cindy and Pe’a, and how great they are as parents, and the foundation that they laid for their kids,â€? Santa Barbara football coach J.T. Stone said. “We are losing a quality, quality kid — a community kid — who the minute that he walked in the door wanted to be the ambassador for Santa Barbara High School. I’m very proud of him.â€?

Stone said UCLA and many other schools called him constantly after Hill passed for a school-record 3,102 yards and 33 touchdowns to lead Santa Barbara to the 2019 CIF-Southern Section Division 8 finals. Playing close to home in sunny Southern California did have its allure, but the 6-foot-4 quarterback decided to honor the commitment that he’d made to Badger coach Paul Chryst several months earlier. “It did take some heart to think about it,� Hill said. “I drive around Santa Barbara, just thinking to myself, listening to music. “But at the end of the day, it just came down to what would make me a better person and a better football player, and that’s Wisconsin.� It was a feeling of family that made him stick with the Badgers. “You hear all about how coach Chryst is a players’ coach, and it’s true,� Hill said. “He’s all about his players. On Sunday, you could go in for a workout, but he gives you the day off to go hang out with your family since you don’t get to see them a lot. “Him being that players’ coach and that adult role in your life while you’re in college is one of the main reasons I wanted to go there.� He was also convinced by the commitment that Wisconsin had made in him. “They told me that I was going to be the only 2021 commit� for the position of quarterback, Hill said. Chryst’s interest in Hill was piqued when he and offensive coordinator Joe Rudolph watched a video tape that had been sent by Sam Fisher of the “Throw To Win� training academy in Los Angeles. They scouted him at a football camp that summer and offered him a scholarship two months before the start of his junior season.

Deacon Hill’s National Letter of Intent ceremony turned into a family affair at Santa Barbara High’s Peabody Stadium on Wednesday. The senior quarterback officially signed to play football next year for the University of Wisconsin. At left, from left to right is his future brother-inlaw Sam Tai, sisters Sami and Abbi, Deacon, sister Kodi, mother Cindy, and father Pe’a.

By that point, Hill had been mostly the backup quarterback at Santa Barbara High. He did make an impressive starting debut as a sophomore the previous fall after starter Frankie Gamberdella broke his collarbone. Hill passed for 201 yards and three touchdowns in a 24-7 win over Dos Pueblos that clinched a CIF-Southern Section playoff berth for the Dons. Stone was the least surprised, having trained him since the fourth grade at his Big Picture Athletics camp. The veteran coach was admittedly emotional before Wednesday’s ceremony. “It’s almost been a decade of our relationship, so this is definitely a hard day for me,â€? he said. “I’m not going to lie to you guys, there was about a good 30-to-45 minutes when I broke down. “It’s not necessarily the football. I established a relationship with this kid‌ I feel like I’m losing a son, which is difficult. Today is almost a decade of working with this kid, and you get only one year out of him. But in that one year, look what came out of it.â€?

Santa Barbara Court of Champions inducts seven new members By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Four former UCSB stars, another from Santa Barbara City College, a Westmont superfan, and a youth sports leader have been selected for induction into the Santa Barbara Basketball Court of Champions. They bring the number of inductees to 82. The local basketball hall of fame, which was started in 2014, will not hold a banquet this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Court of Champions founder Curt Pickering said. The former Gauchos selected are Mekia Valentine, Richard Anderson, Robert McCutcheon and Quentin Sims. Also named for induction are Chris McNealy, George Chelini and Pat Moore. Valentine, a 6-foot-4 transfer from Wake Forest, passed away last March at age 32. She averaged 12.3 points and 9.7 rebounds per game as a junior in 2009-10 to lead the UCSB women’s basketball team to a 1912 record and a WNIT berth. She set a school record by blocking 4.0 shots per game — third-most in the nation — and was voted to both the All-Big West Conference Second Team and Big West AllTournament team. She also made second-team all-league as a senior while averaging a double-double of 11.1 points and 11.2 rebounds with 3.7 blocks. Her 347 rebounds that season set a school record which was broken this year by Gaucho freshman Ila Lane with an average of 13.0 per game. Valentine still holds UCSB records for career rebound average (10.5 per game), blocks in a game (11), blocks in a season (120), and field-goal percentage in both a season (.620) and a career (.595). The New York Liberty selected her in the third round of the 2011 WNBA Draft – the first Gaucho chosen since the Minnesota Lynx picked Kristen Mann in the first round in 2005. She opted

to go overseas, however, and spent the next four years playing professional basketball in Israel, Poland, Romania and Germany. Anderson, a second-round pick of the then-San Diego Clippers in the 1982 NBA Draft, led UCSB in scoring, rebounding and blocked shots for three straight years. He ranks in the Gauchos’ alltime top-10 in several categories and is 16th on their career scoring list with 1,247 points. He played in the NBA until 1990, which included stints in Denver, Houston, Portland and Charlotte as well as San Diego. McCutcheon and Sims both played for the Santa Maria Golden Dukes, a member of the National Industrial Basketball League which was a rival of the NBA during the 1950s. Sims was the Golden Duke’s most valuable player in both 1953 and 1955. They were Gaucho teammates in the late 1940s, both earning multiple all-conference honors before graduating in 1949. McNealy, who played at SBCC in the 1979-80 season, continued on to San Jose State before playing three NBA seasons for the New York Knicks. He also played overseas in Italy and Spain. Chelini, a 1949 graduate of Santa Barbara High, was credited with developing many of the area’s greatest basketball players, as well as citizens, while serving as director of the Santa Barbara Boys and Girls Clubs. He spent 37 years in the organization, unifying all the clubs of Santa Barbara County and becoming their overall director. He passed away on June 17, just one day short of his 89th birthday. Moore, 92, has been Westmont’s most ardent basketball fan since her sons, John and Michael, began playing for the local college in the mid-1970s. John stepped down as the Warriors’ head coach last spring, setting the school record with 558 victories in 27 seasons. email: mpatton@newspress.com

Athletic director Todd Heil said much the same after having Hill in one of his classes last year. “The stories are true,� Heil said. “He’s an incredibly humble kid, passionate kid, conscientious kid.� The Dons were expected to contend for a CIF championship again this year with the return of Hill, last year’s Channel League Offensive Player of the Year, as well as several other honored stars. They include nose guard Noach Wood, the league’s Defensive Player of the Year; offensive and defensive back Ty Montgomery, the Utility Player of the Year, as well as all-conference receiver Jake Knecht. The COVID-19 pandemic, however, has put their senior seasons on indefinite hold. But Hill, who has been selected to play in Hawaii’s Polynesian AllAmerican Bowl on Jan. 23, has also signed up for a tackle football league sponsored by Corona’s Winner Circle Academy. His team will open a six-game schedule on Jan. 2. The games will be played in San Diego with the playoffs to follow in Bullhead City, Ariz.

“I’m playing for the Prime Time Polynesian Team — my uncle is the head coach there,� Hill said. “He texted me and said he needed a quarterback, so I decided to go. We’ve got a good team. “I just can’t go a year-and-ahalf or two years without playing football before college. I’ve got to get something in.� It’s that dedication that got Hill to this point, Stone said. He noticed from the first day at his camp nearly a decade ago.

“The DNA was there and the foundation was there, but it was, ‘Let me take this kid and really nurture him and show him the way, and along the way put him in front of people,’â€? Stone said. “It was, ‘Deacon, go run with this‌ You’ve got to embrace this.’ And he did that. “There are certain kids that I work with that I know just have the ‘it’ factor, and he definitely has it.â€? email: mpatton@newspress.com

County reports 196 new COVID-19 cases, three deaths By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department reported 196 new cases of COVID-19 and three additional deaths Wednesday, bringing the case total to 13,957 and 145 deaths. The deceased individuals resided in the city of Santa Maria, city of Goleta and one was imprisoned in the federal prison in Lompoc. All three had underlying medical conditions and were infected by an outbreak at a congregate living facility. The death in the federal prison is not associated with a current outbreak. A delay occurs pending coroner’s verification. Only seven individuals are currently infectious at the prison. The city of Santa Maria had the most cases at 64, which brings its

study

An increase in UV exposure by one standard deviation (approximately the difference in UV light between May and June in Los Angeles) reduced the growth rate by around one percentage point over the following two weeks. The transmission rate is affected much more by social distancing policies and closures, the authors noted. The researchers noticed cases increase when restrictions loosened in summer months, though UV radiation was at its highest. Looking at the daily differences helped them still see UV’s impact.

total to 5,376 cases of which 365 are still infectious. Santa Maria’s Marian Regional Medical Center is anticipating administering the first round of COVID-19 vaccinations to frontline healthcare staff today. Lompoc reported 35 daily cases and a new total of 1,489 cases and 140 still active. The city of Santa Barbara had the third most daily cases, 30. A total of 2,053 cases have been reported in the city, and 240 are still infectious. The community of Orcutt reported 15 cases (663 total, 60 active). The Santa Ynez Valley had eight daily cases (313 total, 26 active). The unincorporated areas of Sisquoc, Casmalia, Garey, Cuyama, New Cuyama and the city of Guadalupe also reported eight cases (593 total, 42 active). The city of Goleta detected six

new cases (509 total, 73 active), and the community of Isla Vista had five (591 total, 32 active). A South County area encompassed by the communities of Montecito, Summerland and the city of Carpinteria reported four cases (383 total, 40 active). The unincorporated area of the Goleta Valley and Gaviota had two new cases (376 total, 31 active). Cottage Health is currently treating 47 patients with COVID19 symptoms, though only 42 are confirmed positive cases. Of those patients, 14 are in critical condition. Cottage Health reported 14 ventilators are in use, leaving 97 available. Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital has 29.8% of its adult critical care beds available.

“This is a big reason why our study uses daily fluctuations in UV exposure, in part to avoid conflating influences when looking at long-term, varying fluctuations,” Dr. Meng said. The findings are consistent with the current surge in infections. But more precise data is needed to research other seasonal variants. “We are confident of the UV effect, but this is only one piece of the full seasonality picture,” Dr. Carleton said. Lab studies can isolate the factors. But prior knowledge in areas like biology also helped the researchers form a conclusion. “Just as UV can destroy our own DNA if we don’t use sunscreen, UV can damage the

COVID-19 virus,” Mr. Proctor said. Behavioral patterns also factor into the transmission. Like, when it is sunny outside, people may opt to spend more time outdoors. Lab studies and populationlevel studies will help researchers get a better picture of seasonal impacts. “In the context of all this, our study suggests that seasonal changes in UV may influence COVID-19 transmission in the coming months,” Dr. Meng said. “And if that’s true, we need to think carefully about how to modulate COVID-19 containment policies in a seasonal manner.”

as a very, very good destination for leisure travel going forward as people decide not to travel as much internationally.” Dr. Rupert pointed out that the job and revenue estimates are only estimates, and cautioned the public to remember other things may not stay the same, such as other airlines adjusting to Southwest. “It’s going to be a big shot in the arm to be honest,” he said. “I think people are going to be ready to get out of the house and personally, I see places like Santa Barbara, and that’s what Southwest decided to do. This is a very, very nice destination to come to, not too crowded, a lot of outdoor things to do. “Making it easier to get here was the key, now with people from different areas being able to come here, I think we will see a big expansion in the second quarter.” Santa Barbara Mayor Cathy Murillo referred to the announcement as a “game changer for our entire region.” “This new service boosts our economy in many ways, and we’ll need all the help we can get for economic recovery during and

post-pandemic,” Mayor Murillo told the News-Press. “What’s exciting about Southwest flying out of our airport is that people can travel more easily for pleasure or for work. “This gives us something to really look forward to once pandemic conditions subside,” she added. “We can travel to see friends and family, and people from other parts of California and the nation can fly into Santa Barbara and enjoy what we have to offer like our beaches, hiking, dining, sailing and other diversions.” Currently, American, Alaska and United Airlines serve Santa Barbara Airport. Delta had service up until the fall of 2020, but suspended it because of the pandemic. Alaska flies to Portland and Seattle daily; United flies to San Francisco and Denver (flights to Los Angeles were suspended during the pandemic); and American flies to Phoenix and Dallas/Fort Worth multiple times a day, according to Ms. Zachrisson. Contour Airlines also once served Santa Barbara Airport up until the pandemic. It previously provided service to Oakland, Las Vegas and Sacramento. Karen Ensign is a local independent travel agent, and

said Southwest will be a “very good addition to Santa Barbara’s service.” “It’s a low-cost carrier, so really a great value for my clients, but also a pretty high level of service even though they don’t offer true first class,” she told the NewsPress. “They offer a business select class of service which gives passengers a couple of perks.” She added that she hopes Southwest sticks around, as opposed to other airlines that have come and gone, such as Contour. In addition, she said that because Southwest flies to cities that are fairly popular for locals, she hopes to see nonstop service to Las Vegas, Oakland, possibly Chicago and Phoenix to add some competition for American Airlines. “I think the more options we can offer, the better we can service our clients,” the travel agent said. “We can now offer clients that many more options, and it’s also good in keeping prices level or competitive when there are other airlines in the market. “I’m just excited about the vaccine opening up the possibility of people traveling again.” email: gmccormick@newspress. com

Southwest will announce its destinations, number of frequencies and fares after the first of the year.

LOCAL FIVE-DAY FORECAST MACHUCA, Elisa On December 12, 2020 Elisa Machuca passed away. She fought a long and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer that endured 5 years. That day she was silently taken away. She was a resident of Santa Barbara since 1966. Her big heart and gentle nature will always be remembered by the many people she encountered and touched. She raised three boys and is survived by her sons; Fermin, Rudy (Chihiro), Juan, three grandchildren; Yelina, Vienza, Carlos, brothers; Ruben, Roberto, sisters; Esperanza Mancilla and Silvia Lopez. We love you very much and will miss you dearly. You will forever be in our hearts. We would especially like to thank all the great medical professionals from RidleyTree Cancer Center and Sansum Clinic, that helped during numerous treatments and procedures, their enduring dedication to fighting the disease helped prolong her life until the end! Due to COVID a limited service including Mass is at 10am, Friday, 12/18/20 at Our Lady of Sorrows Church, 21 E Sola St, Santa Barbara. Limited Graveside services will follow the mass at Goleta Cemetery, 44 S. San Antonio Rd, Santa Barbara. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Dream Foundation c/o Flower Empower.

BYERS, Bruce Kendall Well, he made it! Bruce Kendall Byers’ application to the Heavenly Choir in the Sky was finally accepted on December 4, 2020! He was 68. He received The Call while in residence at Cottage Hospital being treated for complications caused by his long-running battle with amyloidosis. Bruce was born September 27, 1952 to Betty and Alden Byers in Los Angeles, CA, and while he lived in many places throughout his life, he called Santa Barbara/Goleta home for the last 26 years. He is survived by his loving wife of 46 years, Sue, son Stephen, daughter Marilynn (Joseph) Granado, and his beloved rescue dogs Henry and Maddy. Bruce is also survived by his brother Colin (Robin), sisters Victoria and Brook (Jim) Gunther, and many nephews and nieces. Bruce was known as a consummate scholar and an accused professional student. He had educational degrees and concentrations spanning the gamut of liberal and fine arts, from economics and music to Greek and a Master of Divinity. Finding spare time, he professionally played a variety of instruments and sang opera, a capella, and way too many showtunes (according to some). Many might remember his activities with the Santa Barbara Grand Opera, the Santa Barbara Choral Society, and his quartet, The Lamplighters. Juggling those commitments was especially difficult when he was also expected to be by his phone as a lifeline for more than a few contestants on “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” (really). While Bruce had his passions, his largest focus was on being of service to God and Country (and his wife!!). He joined the United States Navy as a chaplain where he served in either active or reservist capacity for 20 years, retiring in 1995 at the rank of Lt. Commander. Bruce was active in his church(es), where he served at various times as associate pastor, music minister, elder, and church council member. Bruce was also an involved member of the service organizations Christian Businessmen’s Club, Gideon’s International, and Kiwanis. I’m exhausted just writing this. A small outdoor private memorial service is being planned for December 17. Please contact Sue or Steve regarding the details. If your only contact is Bruce’s phone, please text it. It is checked daily, but not regularly, so expect delays. In lieu of flowers, Bruce requested donations be made to one of his service organizations.

DOW, James R., DDS 11/7/1929-12/5/2020

He is survived by Patricia Dow, wife of 67 years, his son Steve Dow, daughter-in-law Peggy Dow, daughter Anne D. Beemer, son-in-law Randy Beemer, and his grandchildren Michael Dow, Sarah Hart, Rachel Dow, Jake Dow and Allie Dow. His ashes will be interred at All Saints-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church. A service to celebrate his life will be held in the future. To leave an online memory, please visit the Welch-Ryce-Haider website. He will be missed by all who knew him.

VELASQUEZ, Reginald Alphonso “Pep” “Reggie”

On Thursday December 3rd, 2020, the angels welcomed in to their presence another servant of the lord. Our Dad, “Papa” to his immediate family and (“Pep,” “Uncle,” “Compa,” “Nino,” “Tio,” “Reggie”) to everyone else, has made it to his final resting place. Born August 1, 1927 to Joseph and Lucy Velasquez, Papa attended Aliso School and Carpinteria Union High School where he played Football, Baseball and Track until duty to his country came calling. He enlisted in the Navy in 1944 while his 3, older brothers Joe (Chano), Tony (Dedoy) & Gerald (Vonnie) were already serving which gave their Mom a Four Star Flag! Papa was discharged in 1946 and when the Korean War commenced, Papa re-enlisted and served from 1950 through 1954. He served on various ships, but his longest and most loyal stint was aboard the Destroyer - U.S.S. O’Bannon. It was during this time that he married the love of his life, Margaret J. Saragosa. As of November 22, 2020 they had been married for 67 years. They raised two children Reginald Ronald and Valerie Lou (their caretaker in later years) who are forever grateful for the example he set and life’s teachings we learned. Regardless of the insignificance or distance of the activity – you were always there Dad. We know we can never pay you back but hopefully pay a part of it forward. Besides attending his children’s events and later Grandchildren, he had two other passions. Baseball – Hardball, Fast & Slow pitch softball. He played for his above mentioned ship’s team and was invited to play for the special services all-star team. Other clubs of note include the much written about Carpinteria Merchants, Santa Barbara teams Torkeys and the Annex as well Coastal Liquors of Carpinteria. Often, he was eldest person on the field by numerous years. Volunteer work – from coaching little league, Boys Club football, Girls softball. Barbecuing, for Girls Club events to serving at Old Spanish Days dinners and cleaning cages at the Santa Barbara Zoological Society. He was on call for any fundraiser that needed help or a relative who needed some help with landscaping, basic electrical and plumbing work, or lay a concrete slab. You name it we could always call on our “Papa.” He was devoted to his local parish – St Joseph’s Catholic Church, where he did set up and clean up for mass and other ceremonies he was an usher and Eucharistic Minister and spent numerous hours working the Taco Booth at the Annual Festival. He was preceded in death by his above mentioned parents and brothers as well as Sister Rose Granada. He is survived by his sister Sally Macias of Oxnard, wife & our mom Margaret, Children Ron Velasquez of San Diego, and Valerie Melendez (Benjamin – son-in-law who is owed special gratitude for the unconditional love and comfort he gave to Papa) of Carpinteria. grandchildren; CPO MMN1 (SW) Reginald William (Jolie) parents of his great-grandson Reginald Edward “Rev” of South Carolina, Zachary Ryan, Raymond Gerald, Kiley Mae Velasquez of San Diego, and grand pups, Rex, Diamond, Max & Cookie. Papa, your biggest worry and goal was to make it Heaven. Anybody that knew you would say you are “A first ballot” inductee to the Heaven’s Dads Hall of Fame! We would like to extend our gratitude to Sarah House for the love and care they gave our Papa. In lieu of flowers the family is requesting donations be made to Sarah House, 2612 Modoc Road, SB 93105 in Memory of Reggie Velasquez. No services are scheduled as of now. It was Papa’s wish to be buried with the love of his life. A celebration of their love will be scheduled at a later date.
