Effort to protect Montecito High fire season has arrived

New debris basin designed to protect future residents from mudslides

Officials warn public of wildfire risk By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

RAFAEL MALDONADO / NEWS-PRESS

County officials broke ground at the site of a new debris basin that will be installed along Randall Road and San Ysidro Creek in Montecito during an event Monday. Officials gathered to remember the 23 lives lost in the 2018 debris flow, expressing hope that the new basin will protect future residents from experiencing a disaster of that same magnitude.

By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

Santa Barbara County officials broke ground Monday on a debris basin project along Randall Road and San Ysidro Creek, beginning an effort intended to protect future Montecito residents from the devastating effects of mudslides. It’s been three years since the Montecito debris flow of Jan. 9, 2018, which claimed the lives of 23 residents and damaged many homes in the area. The former residents of Randall Road in Montecito were heavily impacted by the mudslide, and six of seven of the existing homes situated near San Ysidro Creek were destroyed in the disaster. Since that time, former residents have lobbied for the installation of a debris basin that would offer protection from future disasters. Their months of planning and lobbying came to fruition Monday when county officials met near the San Ysidro Creek Bridge to commemorate the start of the project. “Today’s groundbreaking is a result of our community’s commitment to come together and create solutions that minimize the horrific impacts (of) our next debris flow,” Montecito Fire Chief Kevin Taylor said Monday. “While not a silver bullet, the Randall Road debris basin will substantially increase our community’s safety.” The new debris basin will impede larger materials, like rocks and boulders, from moving down San Ysidro Creek, according to Tom McGolpin, the director of the County Public Works Department. Water and silt can still filter through the creek bed as the basin stops large rocks from tumbling into surrounding structures. The county received a $13.5 million grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency in November 2020 to complete

the project, which makes up the majority of the estimated $15.5 million to $17.5 million needed. A portion of those funds were used to purchase land from six former residents of Randall Road and one former resident of East Valley Road. The completion of the basin will mark the first significant infrastructure project that will be completed in Montecito in decades, Mr. McGolpin said. During Monday’s groundbreaking, U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, commended the work of county officials and observed a moment of silence for the Montecito residents who died in the disaster. “We lost a lot of lives, homes and property on Jan. 9,” Rep. Carbajal said. “The best thing we could do moving forward in honoring their memory is to take action to protect our community from a similar disaster in the future. The Randall Road Debris Basin is key to this assurance. We know that climate change has exacerbated extreme weather events, so it is crucial we invest in projects like this that adapt our infrastructure to mitigate the future threats of climate change.” He later added, “I have no doubt that this critical investment in our safety and our resilience will pay dividends down the line.” The project, which will officially begin next Monday, is expected to be completed in December, according to Jon Frye, an engineering manager with the County Public Works Department. Currently, the property that was once filled with homes is barren and covered in large boulders left over from the mudslide. But when the project is finished, Mr. Frye said residents will notice changes to the appearance of the property. “There will certainly be physical changes within the property itself,” Mr. Frye told the News-Press. “We’re going to be planting some visual barriers, like trees, along the back of East Valley Road. Given some time, as vegetation can grow, when you’re talking five, 10 years out, it’s going

to be more of a natural setting. It’s not going to be the stark visual that this certainly is (right now).” In addition to the many public officials in attendance at Monday’s groundbreaking, a few of the former residents of Randall Road made an appearance at the event. Montecito resident Curtis Skene addressed the crowd on Monday, expressing gratitude at seeing the debris basin finally coming to fruition. After Mr. Skene’s home was destroyed in the 2018 mudflow, he decided to do something to protect future Montecito residents from experiencing the same devastation. He began attending events and meeting with Public Works officials to propose a debris basin project near the site of his old home on Randall Road. Now that the project is coming together, Mr. Skene said the project “shows the strength of community activism and should be a model for what we can accomplish together.” “I’m a very lucky man,” Mr. Skene told the crowd. “First, because I just barely escaped the debris flow three years ago, and secondly because I’ve been able to do something, be part of something, to both heal and protect my community.” First District Supervisor Das Williams praised Mr. Skene and the other former residents of Randall Road for thinking of how to best protect their community in the face of devastation during his remarks at Monday’s events. “The neighbors provided an incredible example of how we need to learn as a community to react in a crisis,” Mr. Williams said. “They experienced great pain (and) devastation, and it would have been very understandable to focus and hold on to that pain and devastation. It would have been very understandable if they had thought about their long term financial benefit in it, but neither of those things seemed to be primary in the calculation. Primary in their calculation, I know this from talking to some of

total to $1 billion when the state finalizes its budget. “This year is the first year that I’m aware of that they did augmentation funding at the beginning of the year,” Chief Hartwig told the News-Press. Funding usually comes at the end of fire season, and although the state has added “a little bit of extra money” the past three years, this year’s rollout is much more convenient. County Fire will be using the extra funds to send out more crews and respond to incidents aggressively. “Normally during normal fire season or low fire season, we’ll just send a fire engine with a chief officer. Now we’re sending five fire engines with our local partners, and air and heavy. So we’ll spend every last penny,” he said. Please see FIRE on A4

Rep. Carbajal introduces safe parking program bill By ANNELISE HANSHAW

“Today’s groundbreaking is a result of our community’s commitment to come together and create solutions that minimize the horrific impacts (of) our next debris flow,” Montecito Fire Chief Kevin Taylor said Monday. “While not a silver bullet, the Randall Road debris basin will substantially increase our community’s safety.”

RAFAEL MALDONADO / NEWS-PRESS

Santa Barbara County Fire Chief Mark A. Hartwig announces the beginning of fire season during a press conference Monday afternoon at the fire department’s headquarters.

Rep. Salud Carbajal wants to expand a Santa Barbara County program nationwide with the Naomi Schwartz Safe Parking Program Act. The bill would provide up to $5 million over a five-year period for cities to start or expand a safe parking program. He is proposing the bill alongside Rep. Doug LaMalfa, a republican from Richvale, California. “One: it’s a bipartisan issue. And two: I think it’s such a nobrainer program,” Rep. Carbajal said. “I think it has a huge chance of making it over the finish line sooner rather than later, and we’re hopeful that we can get over the finish line in this session and scale this program up.” The bill is named after former Santa Barbara County Supervisor Naomi Schwartz who championed the program locally. The Safe Parking Shelter and Rapid Rehousing Program, offered through New Beginnings, served 600 people last year. It offers a safe, monitored parking

spot overnight for homeless people to sleep in their own vehicles and use bathroom facilities. The program also helps homeless people find jobs, access benefits and acquire housing. The bill requires the grant recipients to provide services that help the homeless find housing and employment. Julie Bowen, a former participant in the program, spoke about how she was able to move from her car to an apartment. She, a former real estate broker, lost her house when her mom got sick, and her own health worsened. She lived in her car, barely getting sleep from the anxiety of being vulnerable. “I felt like I was in pure survival mode, and that made it impossible to work on things in my life that would have allowed me to move back into housing,” she said. New Beginnings staff helped her access a hotel room when the pandemic struck, and they assisted her in applying for a housing voucher and accessing Please see PARKING on A2

First District Supervisor Das William addressed the crowd at Monday’s ground breaking event, commending former residents of Randall Road for their community mindset. “The neighbors provided an incredible example of how we need to learn as a community to react in a crisis,” Mr. Williams said.

High fire season is here, and it’s early this year. A plethora of officials gathered at Santa Barbara County Fire Department headquarters at noon Monday to warn the public about what may be a challenging season for fire departments. Santa Barbara County currently has 47% of its normal rainfall. At this time last year, the county had 90-95% of its expected rainfall. “The fuel (dry vegetation) that you see on the hillsides, and at this time already, about two months ahead of schedule, is able to carry fire,” Santa Barbara County Fire Chief Mark A. Hartwig said during a press conference. “So it’s a little bit early for us. “And we’re here to tell you: We’re ready, and we want you to be ready.” Fire officials measure the moisture in vegetation and look at the rainfall data to determine when the county reaches high risk. North County looks “decent,” according to Chief Hartwig. He notices drier conditions in southern and eastern areas of the county. Although a wildfire can break out anytime, the drier months are the most dangerous. “We call it high fire season today, but it’s a little bit of a fire season kickoff. And in fact, the state of California really is going to a year-round fire season in both staffing and funding,” he said. Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a wildfire prevention bill April 13, supplying $536 million to fire departments ahead of fire season. Gov. Newsom plans to bring the

County reports 15 new COVID-19 cases, no new deaths By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department reported 15 new cases of COVID19 and no new deaths Monday, bringing the active case rate to 143 infections countywide. Officials reported six new cases in Santa Barbara and the unincorporated area of Mission Canyon Monday. The South County unincorporated areas, the Santa Ynez Valley, Lompoc and Santa Maria all reported two

new cases of COVID-19 Monday, while Goleta reported just one new case. All other areas reported no new cases Monday. While cases are trending downward in the county, vaccination rates continue to rise. As of Monday, 47.1% of the county has received at least one dose of the vaccine, and 33.3% of the population is fully vaccinated. Out of the eligible population, meaning everyone 16 and older, 41.5% are fully vaccinated. Six patients are currently hospitalized for COVID-19, two of which are in the ICU,

according to county data. Ventilators remain largely available in the county, with only 8% of all available units currently in use. Late Monday, reports began circulating that the Food and Drug Administration could authorize the Pfizer vaccine for use among 12 to 15 year olds as early as the end of this week. The FDA is expected to announce authorization in the coming days, according to The New York Times. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

Industrial campus sold GOLETA — A three-building industrial campus in Goleta was recently purchased in an off-market transaction by Majestic Asset Management, an property investment and development company based in Agoura Hills. The building, which is located on the corner of Los Carneros Road and Castilian Drive, boasts more than 66,000 square feet of office space. The building has had multiple tenants over the years, including Resonant Wireless, Rock West Composites, InTouch Health and UCSB, among others. The closing price for the sale of the building to Majestic Asset Management was not disclosed. Greg Bartholomew, Francois DeJohn and Steve Hayes of Hayes Commercial Group represented the seller in the transaction. Mr. DeJohn and Mr. Hayes also represented the buyer. “Majestic has become a real force in South Coast commercial real estate in recent years, particularly in Goleta,” Mr. DeJohn said in a statement. “They have an impressive track record of adding value to properties, and they have contributed directly to Goleta’s recovery from double-digit office vacancy.” An investment team from The Towbes Group owned the property since it was built in 1997 through the time of this sale. The adjacent campus owned by Towbes on Castilian Drive was sold in 2019, and proceeds from the previous sale and this most recent sale have been passed on to local beneficiaries and local charities, according to a news release. — Madison Hirneisen

any of the participating lots or neighborhoods” on the New Beginnings website. Still, businesses are wary of opening their parking lots to homeless at night. “As you could imagine, sometimes the better angels in our humanity fail us, and there are always concerns or stereotypes that lead to concerns when we’re dealing with individuals who are challenged or find themselves in uncertain predicaments,” Rep. Carbajal said. “Supervisor Schwartz knew housing this

project in downtown Santa Barbara would be a challenge because of some of those perspectives. But she stepped up.” First District Supervisor Das Williams noted that beyond willingness to participate, funding is a large problem. “This federal funding would be critical for our county to be able to expand the program,” he said. Second District Supervisor Gregg Hart agreed. “We can’t be complacent. The numbers of people that are being served are a tiny fraction of what

is needed to address the problem,” he said. “We need to scale this growth. And with federal funding, we can do that.” Rep. Carbajal hopes the bill will pass this year but knows it is one of thousands of bills that are introduced. He is optimistic because the bill is bipartisan, though his republican co-sponsor is also a Californian — the state experiencing the largest numbers of homeless individuals. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

health care providers. Ms. Bowen is now living in an apartment and looking for a job. “It’s not just for overnight parking; the goal has always been to help people get into permanent housing,” Susan Rose, former supervisor and current advisory council member for New Beginnings. She helped establish the program and found the first parking lot in which to launch the idea. The Safe Parking Shelter and Rapid Rehousing Program has received requests for assistance from 65 communities, across more than a dozen states and in two countries, hoping to replicate Santa Barbara County’s program. “There is clearly a demand for this legislation. We encourage Congress to reflect on the needs of these 65 communities and act now so that everyone can rest a little easier at night, especially if it is in their car in a safe parking lot,” Kristine Schwarz, executive director for New Beginnings, said. Ms. Schwarz had asked congressional leaders to consider the vehicular homeless “for the past several years.” Her efforts were embraced once Rep. Carbajal joined Congress. “As with all housing insecurity, vehicular homelessness is a complex issue,” she said. “And addressing it requires intensive case management and a successful public private collaboration amongst all community stakeholders. “Our own county is seeing an increase in the number of people living in their cars as a result of the pandemic — yet we continue to struggle to expand our safe parking program throughout Santa Barbara County despite the nearly 20 years of a successful run of our program.” The program, which has been around since 2004, boasts “no major incidents or damage to

SPORTS ROUNDUP

Metzger cards five birdies at Sandpiper to lead San Marcos past DP By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Leo Metzger continued his par-busting play to lead San Marcos High to a 394-414 win over Dos Pueblos in Monday’s Channel League showdown at the Sandpiper Golf Course. Metzger, who shot 69 and 70 in matches last week at the Santa Barbara Golf Club, conquered the seaside links at Sandpiper with a one-under 71 to earn medalist honors. “Leo had five birdies,” coach Jeff Ashton said. “Both Jeffrey Forster (74) and Brody Ricci (83) had really great rounds to help us make our way

through the first round of league undefeated.” Freshman Shams Jahangir-Arshad remained steady with a 76 for the Royals (9-0, 5-0 Channel League). Dos Pueblos was led by Ruben Mendoza (74) and Michael Gentry (77). Santa Barbara defeated Cabrillo 445-487, with Thomas MacIntosh taking medalist honors with an 80. Santa Ynez topped Lompoc 434-554 with brothers Callaway and Rye Winans each shooting an 82. Please see SPORTS on A4

SANTA BARBARA ATHLETIC ROUND TABLE

McLean goes to the head of the class for Royals’ volleyball and soccer By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Cade McLean was honored on Monday for some literally headsup play on both the soccer field and volleyball court last week. The San Marcos High senior headed in the winning goal in a first-place showdown against Santa Barbara and also had eight kills in 11 swings in a volleyball sweep over Dos Pueblos. The two-sport stardom earned him the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table’s Male Athlete of the Week Award. Volleyball coach Roger Kuntz said McLean showed his grit most after taking a hard smash off his face while leaping high above the net in an attempt to block a DP hitter. “The ball literally went and hit the far wall,” he said. “I called time out and the ref was about to call the match off. I said, ‘You need a minute?’ And he said, ‘No, I’m good.’ “And at that point in time, he’s yelling at the setter to get him the ball.” San Marcos soccer coach Paul McLean said the two-sport star showed the same fortitude in arising to the occasion against Santa Barbara. “One of the things that I really appreciate about Cade is that when he had his opportunity, he jumped off the bench and wanted it,” he said. Another San Marcos athlete, senior softball pitcher Allie Fryklund, won the Female Athlete of the Week Award after pitching a one-hitter with 15 strikeouts in a 6-0 win over Santa Ynez. She had three wins on the week with 37 strikeouts and also went 7-for-12 at the plate with a home run, triple, and save RBIs. Coach Jeff Swann said she reinvented herself as a pitcher even after having starred as a freshman. It’s paying off now during her senior season. “She’s got spin on the ball and a whole arsenal of pitches, and it’s working for her,” he said. “She’s also hitting .535, and is second on the team in RBIs and runs scored.” Swann also introduced one of his new freshmen phenoms, Emma Foster, who switched to softball this year after having played “a ton” of baseball. “In the last five games she’s gotten seven hits, so she’s dialed in and is starting to be successful,” he said. “She’s fast. We have her batting ninth — she gets on base and sets it up for the top of the order. She has the second most runs scored on our team.”

BOYS VOLLEYBALL A trio seniors — liberos Jacob Yinger and Ben Newton, as well as outside hitter Josh Willbanks — have been “the leadership for San Marcos volleyball for the past three years,” Kuntz said. Four years ago, the veteran coach was told that he was getting the two best liberos in town. Yinger and Newton haven’t disappointed. “They’ve been competing with each other since they were young so it’s hard to keep them off the court,” Kuntz said. Willbanks, he added, has “assumed the role as our outside terminator ... When we need a kill, we go to Josh or Cade.”

BOYS SOCCER San Marcos has received strong leadership from captains Sergio Diaz and Anthony Ranni. “No one works harder than Sergio,” McLean said of his junior midfielder. “He has set a high bar for fitness and expects a lot from himself, and that drives what is expected of his teammates.” Ranni, a returning captain “and one of our best players,” has been sidelined so far this season because of a series of concussions. “A.J. has epitomized what supporting the team looks like even though he can’t play,” McLean said. A young Dos Pueblos team has been led by a senior bookends at opposite ends of the field: striker Sebastien Dupont and goalkeeper Kylan Johnson. “Seba goes one-on-four half the time and plays against their whole defense and just finds alleys, finds ways to slip behind, muscles through,” coach Matt York said. “He has an average of almost one goal a game this year, so he’s pretty much our offense. “Kylan Johnson is a vocal leader and captain of our team. He saved two penalty kicks in two ties this week. Without those, we’d probably not be looking at playoffs.”

GIRLS SOCCER Payton Walker and Isabel Uyesaka are serving as strong role models for a young DP girls team. “Payton has been a fouryear varsity player,” coach Seth Asuncion said of his senior captain and right back. “She’s really taken ownership, inspiring the back defensive line. “Isabel has played a variety of positions for us, inspiring the team with her work ethic, and letting the younger athletes know that if you just give it your best the whole time, then things will happen.”

GIRLS BASKETBALL Senior Brianna Trujillo and juniors Caia Trimble and Jaeda Spence have helped Santa Barbara win its first four Channel League games. “Brianna shoots with great arc and she’s hitting a great percentage,” coach Andrew Butcher said. “Caia is a returning, two-time, first-team all-league player and has a terrific basketball mind. I never have to ask her to do something twice. “Jaeda will play all five positions for us … She’ll ask me, ‘Coach, why do I have to play this position?’ I said, ‘Because we want to win.’ And she said, ‘OK, I’m OK with that.’ She was also our Phil Womble (Ethics in Sports) Award winner, which says a lot about her character.”

BOYS BASKETBALL San Marcos won Saturday’s Channel League showdown against rival Santa Barbara behind the leadership of junior Shakir Ahmad and senior Thomas Kinzler. “I just commend these guys because both in practice and in games, and in the locker room, their vocal leadership has been very crucial just keeping everybody positive with all the ups and downs of the season,” coach Jelani Hicks said. “It’s been an emotional roller coast for everybody, so it’s good to have a team full of leaders that are

stepping up and making sure that we make the best out of our season.” Joe Toste, Dos Pueblos’ junior varsity coach, sang the praises for Joaquin Riker and Kael Rillie while speaking for varsity coach Joe Zamora. “Joaquin is a quiet leader but he definitely sets the tone at practice and in the games for us,” he said. “He’s a very focused player who understands the game and how to make his teammates better. “Kael is the verbal leader on our team. He constantly encourages and challenges all the players in our program. He is humble, confident, and truly cares about his teammates.”

BASEBALL Practice has led to some impressive numbers for San Marcos baseball players Brendon Cekada and Nicky Fell. Cekada is batting .345 with six stolen bases. Fell is at .350 with a pitching record of 4-0 and earned run average of 1.07. “In his spare time, Brendon likes to hit — and then after he hits, he lifts,” coach Wes GhanGibson said. “And then after he lifts, he hits again. And then probably lifts and hits some more. “Nicky comes to the yard with a smile every day. Wednesday he went 3-for-3 with a three-run homer and he played a great third base, which I’m most happy about.” email: mpatton@newspress.com

‘Our biggest threat for wildfire is public and human starts’ fire

Continued from Page A1 The department has received approximately $150,000 from the state so far, he estimated, but he plans to receive more. Representatives from other fire departments in the county, Supervisors Gregg Hart and Das Williams, Sheriff Bill Brown, Los Padres National Forest officials and more were present to share their concerns. “One of those things we’re seeing with our changing environment during the last several years, fuels are drying out earlier and rains are coming later, so the high fire season is longer than it has ever been,” Los Padres National Forest Fire Chief Jim Harris said. The large outpours of rain followed by dry conditions this year has made conditions worse. Ideally, rain will fall in smaller volumes but more frequently. His colleague Michael Scott, a battalion chief, agreed and warned people to be cognizant of high-risk conditions. “We’ve been in a yearlong fire season, and the reality is we’re nowhere near getting out of it,” he said. Although lightning can start fires, almost all the wildfires seem to come from human error. “Our biggest threat for wildfire is public and human starts. All of our ignition sources come from

public use,” Chief Harris said. He encourages community members to call law enforcement when they see high-risk behavior, such as unauthorized burns. Even a loose car chain dragging along the ground can spark a wildfire. The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office helps enforce safe practices and assist with evacuation should a wildfire occur. The rules don’t change when high fire season begins, Sheriff Bill Brown said, but fire departments and deputies are more likely to look for violations when risk is high. “Unfortunately, we have a yearround fire season now. And so really, it’s incumbent upon all of us to be careful throughout the year,” he said. His main advice is to clear brush around the home. He also suggested getting a fireproof gun safe for important documents and other items that residents want safe in case of a fire. “This is the natural disaster that can strike and has struck so many times. You need to be prepared for it mentally as well as physically as well as having all of the community resources like you’ve seen here today,” Sheriff Brown said. Mutual aid was lauded during the press conference. Many officials expressed confidence in the systems in place.

“Wildland fires are going to burn. That’s not even a question. So how do we handle them? We do that through collaboration,” Greg Fish, Santa Barbara County

UCSB House Calls to feature Yo-Yo Ma, Kathryn Stott

Connecting with music

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

“Each song has a message of some sort, so it may be something comforting, it may be something that’s optimistic, but it’s all about time that’s gone by, time going on, love and death and all those things,” said pianist Kathryn Stott, who has recorded “Songs of Comfort and Hope” with Yo-Yo Ma.

CSB Arts & Lectures is presenting another House Calls virtual event at 5 p.m. Wednesday, featuring beloved cellist YoYo Ma, acclaimed pianist Kathryn Stott and their recent collaborative album called “Songs of Comfort and Hope.” The two classical musicians have had a musical relationship for more than 35 years. And with their new album released in 2020, they hope to encourage a sense of community, identity and purpose in the pandemic world. “I was trying to imagine what the people were fearing, and how awful, isolated, scared and very much apart from all their loved ones (they were) and thought music could give some comfort,” Ms. Stott told the News-Press. “One of the things I thought of was that when we see something that we know, that gives us great memories, so there are a lot of songs people will feel really familiar with and will say, ‘I remember hearing that one,’ or things like that. That’s really how it began.” Classical favorites featured Please see MUSIC on B2

Alzheimer’s chapter plans in-person walk

At top, state Sen. Monique Limón, D-Santa Barbara, leads the charge for the 2019 Santa Barbara Walk to End Alzheimer’s, carrying a white Promise Flower to represent the first survivor of Alzheimer’s. Above, participants in the 2019 event walk along East Beach.

SANTA BARBARA — The Alzheimer’s Association is stepping forward with plans to host this year’s Santa Barbara Walk to End Alzheimer’s in person on Nov. 6. It will be the first in-person walk since 2019. Last year’s walk was held virtually because of COVID-19. “It has been a time of isolation for many of our families, and I know this year’s walk will truly be a celebration of being able to gather again for a cause we all believe in: a world without Alzheimer’s and all other dementia,” said Sonya Branco, director of development for the Alzheimer’s Association California Central Coast Chapter. The chapter’s headquarters are in Santa Barbara. In a news release, the association stressed that the health and safety of all participants remains the top priority as decisions are being made concerning the walk. In addition to planning the inperson event, the Alzheimer’s Association will continue to offer options to participate in Walk to End Alzheimer’s online and in participants’ neighborhoods. The Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s was recently ranked as the second largest fundraising event in the country by total revenue, as announced by the Peer-to-Peer Professional Forum in their top 30 rankings of 2020. Despite the changes to this event due to the pandemic, the Walk to End Alzheimer’s raised more than $67 million last year in more than 600 participating communities across the country. The Santa Barbara Walk raised $168,986 of that total. The money raised by Walk funds Alzheimer’s care, support and research programs. The event’s planning committee is still seeking compassionate and caring volunteers to play a leadership role in this year’s Santa Barbara Walk to End Alzheimer’s.

You never stop being a parent, even when your kids aren’t kids anymore. You don’t suddenly change roles like costumes at a Lady Gaga concert. Mothering is instilled in your DNA, and if you enjoy it, so much the better. Parenting is a choice and a lot of work, but if you do it right, there’s nothing more rewarding. Mother’s Day is a special moment when we each get to honor the woman that has given us life and helped us navigate the trials and tribulations of elementary school, the self-discovery of junior high and the melodrama of high school. Yes, without mom there to help you figure it all out, it would have been a lot harder. So on Mother’s Day (which will be Sunday), you get to say thanks in whatever way makes sense to you.

I have memorial white rose bushes planted on the lake for each of my parents. Every year, we anchor by them and have a toast. My mom liked red wine on ice, and, as icky as that sounds, we have a little sip from her cup to honor her and thank her for putting up with me. I know that could not have been easy. If you had a good relationship with your mom, and if she is still around, you are a lucky person. If the relationship was so-so, but you are in contact, I invite you to do this Mother’s Day a little differently, by focusing not on your differences but on your similarities. I hear my mother’s words come out of my mouth from time to time, and it usually makes me laugh because it’s so ironic. She’s a part of me, as your mother is a part of you. I remember going to dinner at Sizzler and having food from KFC on Saturday nights. I remember that my mom loved dogs. We always had one or two, and they were mostly hers, probably because they got most of their love from her, just like we did — and I hope I showed

MUSIC

in the album include “Amazing Grace,” “Ol’ Man River” and “Over the Rainbow,” among others. However, the seasoned musicians put their own spin on the fan favorites. “Some things will be instantly recognizable and others have a little bit of a new twist to keep things moving,” Ms. Stott said. “Each song has a message of some sort, so it may be something comforting, it may be something that’s optimistic. But it’s all about time that’s gone by, time going on, love and death and all those things. It’s a wonderful, I would say, kaleidoscope of life that we put into this album.” “Songs of Comfort and Hope” has 21 tracks, ranging from fresh arrangements of traditional folk tunes, pop songs and jazz standards to mainstays from the western classical repertoire. The virtual performance will run for approximately an hour and 20 minutes, and ticket holders will be able to replay the event

for a week. Yo-Yo Ma will also take questions from attendees following the performance. Yo-Yo Ma has come to perform at UCSB in person for many years, and is a great friend of UCSB A&L. Ms. Stott met him in 1978 in what she calls “one of the most fortuitous moments of her life.” Since then, the two have collaborated in musical pursuits all over the world. Ms. Stott said she’s done a few live streams and virtual performances since the pandemic, but added that she didn’t know what it was like in the U.S. at the start of COVID-19, but in the UK, “the world just went silent.” “In the beginning, there was nothing,” she said. “There was no music and very few concerts,

half as much gratitude as our pups did. Our mothers get neglected sometimes, and that turns into guilt, which can further add to neglectfulness. During this year of isolation, especially for many older adults, it’s important for us to show up on Mother’s Day. It doesn’t have to be a big, expensive deal. Simply being there is the best gift you could give to her. Remember what her favorite things are, and bring her one or two. Spend your time talking about what a good job she did raising you, and let her know you are grateful for all the attention, guidance, and love. Acknowledging that is all she wants. I will add that if your mom isn’t around, but you know another mom who is going to be alone, consider giving her some flowers. It will make her day a happy one — and yours too.

and we’re just now beginning to have the possibility to have real people listening. It’s been a very long time.” However, the pianist said music is important to get through the pandemic, and she hopes the familiar beats and melodies in “Songs of Comfort and Hope” do just that — comfort listeners and provide hope. “When you feel really lost and you just have this great void, music can really touch your heart,” Ms. Stott said. “You don’t necessarily need the words — it can just bring you closer to something. “I know when I hear certain pieces or songs or whatever it might be, I think, ‘That really reminds me of this,’ or you know when you eat something and say, ‘I remember that flavor as a child …’ I think music can do that to us in general, but it’s what I want is to try and pinpoint on this album. Every single track, it will take (listeners) to a place … Music is a way to connect us.” email: gmccormick@newspress. com

Diversions horoscope • puzzles

ARIES —You might not be able to concentrate on your work today, Aries. Your head may be in the clouds and your eye for detail could fail you somewhat. Needless to say, this isn’t a good day to tackle new, difficult, or complicated tasks. Concentrate on routines that you can do without thinking. That way you will get through the day without making yourself crazy. TAURUS — Are you an artist, writer, or musician, Taurus? If so, your work may take on a more symbolic or impressionistic tone. Today you’re probably more interested in conveying feelings and impressions than details. It might surprise you that you’re thinking along those lines. This urge may vanish tomorrow, so if you like today’s work, make the most of it. Try to remember how and why you’re doing it! GEMINI — Innovative art forms might seem especially appealing today, Gemini. Stay out of gallery shops unless you’re prepared to take home a carload of merchandise. If you’re more into music, you might break the bank downloading tunes to your MP3 player. This could be a new phase in your artistic tastes or it could be a longstanding trend. Whichever it is, have fun! CANCER — Do you believe in ghosts? Some strange phone calls, emails, or other communications may come your way today, Cancer. One may come from someone who thinks you’re someone else. Phone calls may be hang-ups, wrong numbers, or phantom rings. If there’s a knock at the door, it may be the house settling and not a ghost, but it can still be rather unnerving. Try not to think about it. LEO — An unexpected sum of money could come your way today, Leo. It probably won’t be large, but it will be welcome nonetheless. Perhaps someone has owed you money for a long time and finally repays it. Or you might sell an item you’ve wanted to unload for a long time. Whatever it is, you might want to take a friend to dinner. Go for it and have fun! VIRGO — Have you been exercising too rigorously lately, Virgo? If so, you might feel some little aches and pains. Stay off your feet for most of the day. When you exercise, concentrate on stretching. Spend some time soaking in a hot tub if you can. The old saying, “No pain, no gain” has pretty much been discredited! Yoga or November tai chi could16, serve you as Monday, 2015 well as aerobics today. Stick with

those! LIBRA — The feeling that someone is coming to visit you might be with you throughout the day, Libra. Your intuition is probably right, except for one thing - it’s probably more than one person! Some friends may have some good news that they want to share as soon as possible. Straighten up the house and pretend to be surprised when they come to the door. Have a great evening! SCORPIO — Are all of your friends into astrology, divine science, or spiritual matters, Scorpio? It might seem like most of them are today, anyway. You may have many new friends in those fields. You have a lot to learn from all of them, and even more that you can learn together. A giant spurt of personal growth is right around the corner. SAGITTARIUS — A love partner may host a social event or meeting of some kind, Sagittarius. It might be interesting to get acquainted with friends of your mate you haven’t yet met. Some of them are probably intelligent, interesting people in fascinating professions. One of them could recommend a few books that you will definitely want to read. Have fun. Don’t forget to thank your sweetheart! CAPRICORN — Are you contemplating a trip, Capricorn, perhaps to a place you’ve always dreamed of visiting? If you’re in doubt as to whether or not you can do it, work out your budget and you might be surprised. Invite a friend or romantic partner to accompany you. Such a trip could boost your personal growth like nothing you’ve ever tried before. Think about it! AQUARIUS — Material values may pale beside spiritual ones today, Aquarius. You might consider giving up the rat race and retreating to the wilderness. This would perhaps make a good vacation, but you probably aren’t ready to chuck it all just yet. Don’t be too hard on yourself if your enjoyment of worldly pleasures returns tomorrow. Changes like this come gradually, not overnight. Take it at your own pace. PISCES — A current or potential romantic partner might seem like the most perfect, wonderful person in the world to you, Pisces. Your romantic nature could get the better of you today. Don’t gaze at your partner all dewy eyed! Instead, try to maintain a certain distance to avoid appearing too needy. It was probably your selfsufficiency and inner power that attracted your lover in the first place.

CODEWORD PUZZLE

SUDOKU

Thought for Today

Z J E R F S L

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.
