Santa Barbara County Superior Court Judge Donna Geck rejected an anti-SLAPP motion from Cold Spring School parent Amanda Rowan Friday — part of an ongoing legal battle between Ms. Rowan and the Cold Spring School District. The conflict drifted out of email inboxes and into public spheres this fall as Ms. Rowan frequently penned letters to the editors of multiple local publications and Superintendent/Principal Dr. Amy Alzina released statements in her weekly newsletter. The standoff culminated March 10 when the Montecito district filed restraining orders against Ms. Rowan on behalf of two teachers, a spouse and the superintendent’s executive assistant/HR representative. The anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) motion is used by defendants to dismiss lawsuits designed to limit First Amendment rights. As stated in Judge Geck’s ruling, Ms. Rowan “asserts that the petition is designed to chill (Ms.) Rowan’s right to free speech.” Ms. Rowan is an outspoken critic of the district and has repeatedly called for extensive audits of funds. But Judge Geck ruled the statements provided in the lawsuit were not of public interest but were “expressions of rage.” The judge continued to say the district proved a “probability of success” as it moves toward the petition’s June 9 hearing. (If Ms. Rowan had proved her actions were protected by the anti-SLAPP statute, the obligation would have moved to the district to prove it could win its petition.) The ruling focuses on a conversation Ms. Rowan had with Coral Godlis, who serves as Dr. Alzina’s executive assistant, in March. Ms. Rowan thought the district had fired her friend who teaches at the school and confiscated that teacher’s cellphone. She allegedly threatened litigation in an “extremely agitated and aggressive” tone, full of profanity, according to the court

documents. According to the documents, Ms. Rowan allegedly yelled that she would “sue everyone at the school, including you, Coral!” Ms. Rowan admitted to making threats of legal action but has denied making threats of physical or other violence. Both she and the district reported that Ms. Rowan called the next day to apologize. But according to court documents, Ms. Goldlis said in her March 4 declaration that she felt like that call was further intimidation. The ruling states that the district doesn’t have evidence of “unlawful violence” and instead must prove a “credible threat of violence.” Judge Geck said she infers that Ms. Rowan’s alleged use of profanity, tone and volume could have made Ms. Godlis fear violence. The ruling also cites an incident that, for now, is hearsay. In March, the court did not grant temporary restraining orders (a common request in workplace violence cases). One of those teachers seeking protection, Mari Callahan, resigned during a board meeting May 10 saying “enough is enough’’ in reference to attacks against her. The resignation came before a presentation on a possible Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team audit of Bond Measure C (2008), an action Ms. Rowan repeatedly advocates for. While previous audits have confirmed that the district’s files look satisfactory, a FCMAT audit is more involved and can reveal fraud (as it did in an audit of Sweetwater Union High School District in Chula Vista). Both parties were uncomfortable being quoted, but Dr. Alzina provided a statement via email to the News-Press: “The safety of our students and staff is our top priority at the Cold Spring School District. We are humbled and grateful the Court recognized the importance of our efforts to maintain a safe school environment for our staff and students. We are sincerely hoping that we can now refocus our energy on providing our children the best public education possible.” email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

As Santa Barbara enters high fire season, city officials are brainstorming what they can do with the many homeless encampments around the city and Highway 101 that pose fire hazards, especially following the Loma Fire that burned 10 acres last week on the Mesa. The CDC stated that clearing homeless encampments

The Montecito portion of the Highway 101: Carpinteria to Santa Barbara project between Olive Mill and Hixon roads will be finished one year ahead of schedule now, thanks to an advancement of $50 million by the project team. Tim Gubbins, the director of Caltrans District 5, made the announcement Monday morning at the Santa Claus Lane undercrossing at Padaro Lane in Carpinteria. The announcement came during a ceremony, which was held to mark seven miles under construction, to unveil the Blue Star Memorial Highway Sign in tribute to the U.S. Armed Forces and to announce a World War I memorial between Santa Claus Lane and North Padaro Lane. Mr. Gubbins said the $50 million advancement was made possible by reprogramming done at the state level, and by working on both the Olive Mill roundabout and the San Ysidro roundabout/ improvements at the same time. “That will help the entire corridor,” the District 5 director said. “It reduces the overall impacts by shortening the construction time frame in the area, and it’s responding to community requests we’ve been getting.” This acceleration highlights the partnerships between the California Transportation Commission, the federal government and the county and city of Santa Barbara, Mr. Gubbins said, which have also worked to bring in innovative construction methods, even using a quieter concrete surface. By advancing this portion of the project, residents in the area don’t have to navigate multiple stages of construction for this one area, and crews won’t have to close successive ramps. “We’re celebrating not just what we’ve accomplished, but the way we’ve accomplished it,” Mr. Gubbins said. “This has really come together well ...This is what gives us the ability to move things as quickly as we can from one section to another.” The Padaro project will add a peak-period carpool lane to Highway 101 in each direction to connect with new lanes in Carpineria and Summerland.

TRAFFIC, CRIME AND FIRE BLOTTER Boiler aflame at oil refinery SANTA MARIA — Santa Barbara County and Santa Maria City fire departments responded to a boiler of crude oil on fire at 9 a.m. Monday at Greka Energy’s oil processing facility at 1660 Sinton Road in Santa Maria. The flames were isolated to the boiler, leaving the structure safe as employees evacuated from the plant. No one was injured. Firefighters quickly shut off one valve supplying oil to the boiler, and three engines stayed on site to close the other valve. An oil and gas investigator is looking into the incident.

Ride-sharing companies Uber and Lyft began offering free or discounted rides to and from vaccine appointments Monday in a partnership with the White House. The promotion will run until July 4, the date President Joe Biden hopes 70% are vaccinated by. Uber offers $25 off four rides (a round trip for each dose). Users tap “vaccine” in the Uber app, supply their vaccination site zip code and provider location to access their free or discounted trip. Lyft will provide two $15 coupon codes to users via its website at lyft.com/vaccine-access. Both companies charge driver tips and any fees over the $25 or $15 discount to the user’s credit card. There is a COVID-19 vaccine clinic from 3:30 to 7 p.m. today through Thursday at Santa Barbara High School, located at 700 E Anapamu St. The clinic is administering the Pfizer-manufactured vaccine, so anyone 12 and older can participate. Those under 18 years

of age must have a parent present or a completed consent form (available at publichealthsbc.org/ vaccine) and proof of age. Participants can walk in or schedule an appointment at myturn.ca.gov. As of Sunday, 42.5% of Santa Barbara County residents are fully vaccinated, according to Santa Barbara County Public Health. Officials detected just three new COVID-19 cases Monday, and the number of active cases in the county is down to 45 cases. Public Health has recorded a cumulative 34,446 COVID-19 cases countywide. There are 12 patients with COVID-19 recovering in the county’s hospitals, and three of those patients are in critical condition. Santa Maria reported two of Monday’s cases, increasing its total to 11,578 COVID-19 cases of which 13 cases are still infectious. Lompoc confirmed one case. It has a cumulative 3,830 cases, and seven cases are active. The county has not recorded a death since April 30. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

SANTA BARBARA ATHLETIC ROUND TABLE

Orozco’s golden goal has taken San Marcos’ season to the limit By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

A rebound goal in a rebound of a season has put the San Marcos High girls soccer team on the brink of a CIF-Southern Section championship. Sofia Orozco was honored by the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table on Monday as its Female Athlete of the Week after her golden goal in the second overtime gave the Royals a 1-0 victory over South Pasadena in Saturday’s Division 5 semifinals. “Our program has had an amazing turnaround and these two seniors have been a big part of it,” assistant coach Miguel Vences said while introducing Orozco and defender Paige Ingram at Monday’s press luncheon at the Creekside Restaurant. The Royals, who had a combined record of 3-25-9 the previous two seasons, enter Friday’s final with a 14-0 record and a 46-4 advantage in goals. They’ll play host to Paraclete in Friday’s 5 p.m. final at Warkentin Family Stadium. Orozco scored the winning goal after recovering her own shot that had been blocked by South Pasadena’s goalkeeper. She also had a pair of goals in the quarterfinal victory against Marshall before converting one of the PKs that clinched their shootout victory. “She’s our main threat,” Vences said. “She has 15 goals and three assists. The energy is always there and I feel that a lot of our girls feed off it.” “The same goes for Paige. She’s our rock in the back and one of our captains. Whenever it gets a little hectic in our back line, she brings that composure.”

PREP SWIMMING Carpinteria freshman Jackson Melton was selected as the Round Table’s Male Athlete of the Week after setting school swimming records at the Citrus Coast League meet in the 200 individual medley (2:08.07) and 100 breaststroke (1:05.57). “I don’t know what’s in the water, but the freshman class this year are all incredibly good swimmers,” coach Sergio Castaneda said. “He’s one of four who are incredible swimmers. They all made automatic (CIF qualifying) times in their events. “(Melton) is a prominent member of our relays, too, which is placed second for the 400 free.” Santa Barbara has two freshman phenoms of its own in Nalani Yim and Layla Szymczak, both of whom have qualified for the CIF-SS Division 3 Championships on Saturday at Santa Margarita High School. “Nalani is a water polo goalie,

and you don’t see that too often where your goalie is one of the fastest people in the pool,” coach Mark Walsh said. Szymczak, who has been asked to swim some of the longer and most difficult events, will be competing in the sprints at the CIF meet. “I’m excited to see her swim because she’s never been able to swim the 50 and the 100 freestyles without being exhausted from those other races,” Walsh said. He said his boys team also has a fast sprinter in Nicolas McDonald, who “swam all personal-best times last week, and he’ll be on our relays for the 200 and the 400 free relay.” Walsh also noted that sophomore Evan Encell-O’Hara will be part of the Dons’ sprint relay teams at CIF after making big strides during the COVID-19 offseason. “He hops into the pool and all of a sudden his times are dramatically faster,” he said. San Marcos High girls aquatics just completed two perfect regular seasons, going undefeated in both water polo and swimming. Coach Chuckie Roth chalked it up to such dual-sport athletes as sophomore Reagan McEachen and Abby Webber. McEachen’s efforts in the 500 and 200 freestyles helped get the Royals over the hump to win the Channel League meet. “It’s her second sport — she’d rather be playing water polo — but she does it for the team,” Roth said of his sophomore center. Webber was so raw when she first swam for San Marcos that she couldn’t keep her goggles on. Roth addressed the situation by quoting from the script of the film “Days of Thunder” in which the Tom Cruise character is assured that the “matched-perfect” tires on his racing car would hold. “I brought out my son’s goggles — I kid you not, he’s 7 years old — and they’re kind of low-profile,” Roth said. “And I told (Webber), ‘Hey, they’re a real special set of matched-perfect goggles, OK? If you trust them, they won’t fall off.’ “And lo and behold, the girl ended up swimming great at Channel League.” Webber took third in the 200 free and also helped San Marcos’ 200 free relay team qualify for Thursday’s CIF-SS Division 1 Championships. Two Dos Pueblos seniors, Caitlyn Robinson and Brittney Gamble, had big meets at the Channel League Championships. Robinson will be swimming today at the CIF meet after winning conference titles in both the 50 freestyle and 100 butterfly as well as leading the Chargers’ 200 medley and 400 free relays to victory. “She’s been a rock,” coach Kendall Kuga said. “She’s been our best sprinter since freshman year.” Gamble, who “dropped a lot of her time” while taking second

in the 100 breast at the league meet, is “one of the most spirited swimmers I’ve ever coached,” Kuga added. “It’s been really fun to watch her in the pool with the other kids,” she said. “She’s a great role model.”

PREP BASEBALL A pair of seniors — Will Trautwein and Henry Manfredonia — have helped put San Marcos High into a first-place tie with Santa Barbara entering this week’s two-game series with third-place Dos Pueblos. The games will be at San Marcos on Wednesday and DP on Friday. Trautwein, a .300 hitter, scored the winning run in a game against Lompoc last week. “If you came to one of our practices, you’d be concerned with his physical health with the way he goes after balls,” coach Wes Ghan-Gibson said. Manfredonia went 4-for-7 last week and is batting .381 on the season. “He also pitches and in 28 innings has 31 Ks and a 2.00 ERA,” Ghan-Gibson said. “He’ll be playing baseball at UCSB next year.” A CIF playoff berth is at stake for Bishop Diego in the final week of its regular season. Tyrone Maho, speaking for coach Pete Stathopoulos, said Nico Sanchez, Dax Donati and Luc Maho have put the team in good position. “Nico plays the hot corner for us and he’s got a great bat — he bats leadoff, and he’s fast,” he said. “Dax does everything for us. He relief pitches, he sometimes starts, and he plays the outfield. He’s a real fast guy and a great bat, as well. “Luc is a pitcher who also plays a lot of second base. His bat has been on fire lately.”

PREP SOFTBALL San Marcos and Dos Pueblos, both 12-1 in the Channel League, will play for the title this week with games at DP today and on the Royals’ diamond on Thursday. Cassandra Perez, San Marcos’ junior captain, is finally playing her favorite position of first base after having been pressed into service at shortstop during her freshman year. “She pretty much does everything for us, and we really appreciate the effort and the guts to take on whatever we ask her to do,” coach Jeff Swann said. Sophomore MacKenzie Mendoza, who got three hits the last time San Marcos played DP, has also been a threat to Swann whenever he pitches her batting practice. “She hits the ball so hard that I’d probably be dismembered by now if I didn’t have that safety net,” he said. Three young players — right fielder Mya Gatzke, third baseman Lucy Plowman and pitcher

Mayor: ‘People really need to step up’

place over the course of the entire pandemic, but several encampment fires have occurred just this month in the city and county. Therefore, the Santa Barbara City Council is calling a special meeting for 6 tonight to consider establishing an area where unsheltered residents can sleep. The meeting can be viewed on City TV Channel 18 or streamed live at www.santabarbaraca.gov/ cap. “The fire last Thursday was frightening for a lot of people. I really give credit to our first responders, fire and police,” Santa Barbara Mayor Cathy Murillo told the News-Press Monday. “That has us thinking we really need to take some action … Homelessness does have impacts, as we saw. Even if this particular fire was started by an arsonist, there have been fires out of the homeless encampments, and we need to take action.” The mayor said she envisions an area in a city parking lot, such as the Carrillo Commuter Lot, or one of the city’s parks as the designated shelter for those who have been living in homeless encampments. She said she wants the area to allow unsheltered individuals a place to sleep and provide food and bathrooms for them. But she noted the effort requires volunteers and 24-hour professional security. “The promise I can make is that anything we put together would have security and monitoring, and we wouldn’t want that facility to have negative impacts on the neighborhood,” Mayor Murillo said. “But people really need to step up. If they’re really concerned about the homeless, they would support us creating this facility to help people. It’ll help them, and it’ll help everyone.” The mayor added that the facility or lot designated for homeless individuals living in encampments would be just a temporary service for the summer months of high fire season. The Santa Barbara City Fire Department was unable to provide any statistics on encampment fires locally ahead of today’s meeting. But City Fire Marshal Joe Poire provided some background as to the most common causes of the fires. He told the News-Press that cooking and warming fires “easily account for at least half of the total,” but other

2024. On top of the advancement announcement, Hilary Norton, chair of the CTC, hinted that more funding for the project is on its way. “Let’s be clear that the CTC’s work here is not done. We know that there is another application coming to us,” Ms. Norton said at the ceremony, adding that she believes it’s for $190 million in addition to the $184 million already funded. “We are very pleased to be able to say that when people are wondering what’s happening with SB 1 dollars, that you can all tell the story about what the gas tax is doing in this community to make a difference.” The CTC chair emphasized the importance of improving Highway 101 by pointing out that over the next 20 years, projects like this will create more than $1 billion in savings to the public. In addition, she said the highway is critical for interregional travel and goods movement. The Highway 101: Carpinteria to Santa Barbara project alone requires a network of 5,000 to 6,000 jobs that are directly connected to it, which Ms. Norton said is valuable considering the region’s needed economic recovery. “I did want to say that the CTC proposed $2 billion in the governor’s May revised budget. And we are still fighting for that for active transportation projects and we asked for $500 million specifically for bike corridor programs, so please let your state officials know,” she said. U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, DSanta Barbara, unveiled a mockup of the Blue Star Memorial Highway Sign. Watching were attendees from the Blue Star Mothers of America, the president of the Santa Barbara Chapter of Vietnam Veterans of America, board members of the Carpinteria Valley Museum of History, the director of the Channel Islands District of the California Garden Club and the president of the Las Floralias Garden Club. The memorial between Santa Claus Lane and North Padaro Lane will feature 108 new oak trees, a center median with oak leaf reliefs, a blue ribbon and Blue Star plaques. In 1932, Rep. Carbajal explained, the local Boy Scouts planted oak trees and put up plaques to honor World War I veterans, but over the years, many of the trees died and many of the plaques are no longer there. “This wonderful gesture honors the Boy Scouts’ legacy

fires can start from smoking methamphetamine, which was the cause of the fire near Donovan Electric on the lower Westside that occurred in early April. In addition, Chief Poire said arson stems from a variety of reasons: societal revenge, spite revenge or serial fire setters. Those seeking societal revenge typically feel they’ve been wronged by society in some way, are down on their luck, angry with police enforcement actions or denied benefits from a social service or nonprofit. These individuals see justification in their actions or the ability to outsmart authorities. The fire marshal said spite revenge is “very common when one homeless person burns another’s camp,” but that motive can also range from “revenge for an insult, to a failure to pay for prostitution services, to reneging on a drug deal.” He added that serial fire setters have “a mental illness that is complex, but we see it a lot.” Furthermore, when City Fire and Santa Barbara Police arrive at these scenes, Chief Poire said the fire setters scatter, so officers sometimes wait for hours for them to slowly drift back. They can be held liable for the fires depending on the circumstances — for example, the fire marshal referred the Donovan Electric fire case to the district attorney, asking for a complaint for 452 PC Unlawfully Causing a Fire. “It is one of the lesser arson sections and is designed to have a charge for those who commit acts that are so reckless that any reasonable person would know they would be likely to cause a fire,” Chief Poire said. “It can be a felony.” René Eyerly, the city’s environmental services manager, told the News-Press that the city expects the CDC’s encampment guidance to change after June 15, but until then, the city

provides outreach through CityNet for case management at all encampments and offers shelter beds and motel rooms as bridge housing before requiring the unsheltered to leave an encampment. “CalTrans has a restrictive site-by-site approval process for clean up,” Ms. Eyerly said. “We have been able to partner with them on a pilot to clear the Garden and Castillo Street ramps, though they are being re-inhabited. It takes ongoing maintenance of the sites to prevent the unhoused from setting up camps again.” CalTrans District 5 Director Tim Gubbins told the News-Press that CalTrans made sure to follow all CDC protocols throughout the whole pandemic, working with local agencies and nonprofits in the city/county to make sure those in the encampments could be offered the help they need. “There’s been a lot of concerns with this,” Mr. Gubbins said. “The governor, in his May revised (budget) last Friday, proposed a substantial increase in the amount of money that would be designated for the homeless, so if that survives the budget process — which needs to be ratified by the legislature — then there will be more resources, more tools for the community to use. “We look forward to working with the city and county to figure out how we can get these people into the help they need and out of an area that is not safe for them or the travelers.” The details of the possible encampment shelter facility will be ironed out at tonight’s special meeting open to the public. “People want to get it off their chests that it was frightening to see that hillside on fire,” Mayor Murillo said. “We’ll deal with the person who has been arrested. That’s one thing. But we don’t want any more fires in the brush. It’s dangerous for everybody.” email: gmccormick@newspress.com

and recognizes our veterans for their service,” he said. “As a member of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, a member of the House Committee on Armed Services and as a veteran myself, I could not be more proud of this designation.” SBCAG will submit funding applications for the third competitive cycle of SB 1 in the fall of 2022 for the construction of the remaining two and a half miles of the corridor project — the Montecito and Santa Barbara segments and Cabrillo Boulevard’s bicycle and pedestrian improvements. SB 1 was signed into law in 2017 to fix roads, freeways and bridges in communities across California, as well as to put more dollars toward transit and safety. Carpinteria Mayor Wade Nomura attended Monday’s ceremony, and he told the News-Press that it’s exciting for Carpinteria to be the first city to see the final product. “Carpinterians spend a lot of time in Santa Barbara and Goleta. I mean, that’s the part of the corridor that we use on a daily basis,” he said. “Having that improved is going to be outstanding.” He praised his constituents for dealing with congestion and traffic jams for as long as they did. He added that he thinks the project will also lessen impacts from what he calls the “Los Angeles exodus” every weekend, which he said currently “just kills us” in terms of congestion.

“The overall project came out really nice — I think a lot nicer than all of us anticipated,” the mayor said. “We had no real idea how much it was going to be an improvement, but they’ve done a phenomenal job.” Multiple city officials were guided on an electric bike tour after the event to see and learn more information about the bicycle and pedestrian improvements along Santa Claus Lane. First District Supervisor Das Williams spoke to the importance of the connection the bike lanes — and overall improvements to the area — will provide. “Historically, northern Carpinteria and southern Carpinteira have been divided by class, race and a freeway. That is being erased by the connections, pedestrian and bike, the project has already provided,” he said. “There are a lot of people, Carpinerians and local people, who have shown up today, which shows you how important this moment is and how much it will mean to us when this project is done. “We’ve been stuck in traffic here in Carpinteria so long that I don’t think we remember what it was like beforehand, so it actually makes it refreshing to the Carpinteria area because people have such a positive attitude about getting the project done.” To learn more about the progress of the Highway 101 project, visit sbroads.com. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Jeanne Gibbs - devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and beloved community member - passed away on May 17, 2021. She was 81 years old.

A thoughtful and compassionate woman of faith, Jeanne was devoted to both her family and to the service of others. In her late 30s she went back to school to become a registered nurse and then began a career as a rehabilitation nurse, a visiting nurse, and an RN Health Care Coordinator at Atterdag Lutheran Home. She was also very involved in her church communities at Goleta Presbyterian Church and, later, at Santa Ynez Valley Presbyterian Church. She loved to sing in the choir and facilitate Bible study groups and prayer chains, and she also took active leadership roles as a deacon and a mentor in the national Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) program, sharing her energy and wisdom, and always continuing to learn and grow herself.

Drawing on inspiration Dream Foundation gives art studio to creative young man By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Dream Foundation, the only organization that fulfills the dreams of terminally ill adults, turned his room into an art studio, complete with a drafting table, ergonomic chair and professionquality art supplies.

Navigating your way through the rest of the pandemic

s we continue to navigate the current emotional landscape of living through a global pandemic, most people are feeling that their valleys are way outnumbering their peaks. It is still hard to relax, feel balanced and find some happiness, with all this pain and fear going on around us. Learning how to enjoy the passing of time will help. It truly is one of the secrets of a good life. Some people who’ve been only indirectly affected and mostly inconvenienced by the pandemic think that all this time and money and energy spent on combating COVID-19 is a big waste. Although that may be their experience, there is another part to this reality, however. Over half a million people have died, and millions more sickened. You are a very lucky person if the death and devastation has eluded you and those you love. It is a dark time, but there are ways to find some emotional bright spots. There are new opportunities, but you have to work at it. You can make this time better for yourself and find greater meaning and fulfillment if you can reframe your thinking.

This happens when you decide within yourself to make some changes and try some new things. Personally, I applied for a job at the White House. I did it just because I could, and who knows? Crazier things have happened to me, and doing it felt good. Since there is truly nowhere to run, we have to learn to escape into our own worlds and minds. This is easier for some than for others (and I’m not advocating staying high for the duration), but there are numerous simple ways to put your mind into a positive place, which makes it harder for you to feel bad. Sound too simplistic? Not to those who practice these everyday techniques, like just throwing your hat into the ring and applying for a dream job or developing a business plan. In addition, the lack of social interaction has forced us to rely more on ourselves for company and those few we “pod” with. I don’t know about you, but it makes me lonely. I miss seeing my friends, and thinking about that brings me down. Still, I can continue to feel badly, or I can do something about it. In this case, I will text, call or send a carrier pigeon. That little bit of reaching out is really all we have, and you can

make it a deep and fulfilling experience if you just put a little energy into it. Television and streaming services have made the passage of time more enjoyable. But just sitting and watching is not something I can do for more than a couple hours at a time. For real distraction, I usually play my guitar or go for a walk or a boat ride. Sometimes I’m writing with music playing in the background. It’s good to choose things that you like to do and then do them regularly, to add pleasure to your daily routine. Finding more to appreciate, or just appreciating more of what you already have, is a great way to enjoy life. None of us enjoys every moment, but just writing this has lifted my mood. Even though this could be looked at as work, I truly appreciate being able to communicate with so many people. It’s all about looking at the glass half full — rather than the alternative — and seeking new ways to top it off. Barton Goldsmith, Ph.D., LMFT, is an award-winning therapist and writer.

It was very powerful.” The organization has served more than 32,000 people with dreams since its founding in 1994. “I am continually amazed by just how these profoundly impact the individual but also their families and their community of caregivers and our communities. It’s such an honor to be able to do this work,” Ms. Heyer said. Ms. Callister, in particular, was humbled by her experience. “I hoped I’d given him something to inspire him,” the UCSB art professor told the News-Press. “I just felt so grateful to be able to help him; just learning his story was heartbreaking.” She aims to stir joy with art.

Helping baby crows Wildlife nonprofit gives advice on what to do and what not to do By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network cares for hundreds of American crows every year, making them one of the most common avian patients that the nonprofit receives. A majority of these crows arrive as nestlings and fledglings during May and June, and SBWCN has been experiencing a large influx of these crow patients in recent weeks. Unfortunately, many of these crows are mistakenly brought to SBWCN by wellmeaning citizens when they’re not actually in need of care. Crow fledglings spend a lot of time on the ground before they’re ready to fully fly, which, to the unknowing person, can appear concerning. However, while these young crows are building up their strength to fly, they will leave the nest and hop around on the

ground for about one to two weeks. During this period, the crow’s family will still monitor the fledgling, bringing it food and protecting it from potential predators. While it may appear this crow is helpless because it cannot fly, this stage is perfectly normal and necessary for its development, according to SBWCN. Young crows can be distinguished by their bright blue eyes and pink mouths. Crows live in family groups, with multiple birds assisting in raising the young. The adult crows are fiercely protective and are capable of fending off a number of predators to keep their young safe, according to a SBWCN news release. If citizens encounter a young crow on the ground, SBWCN encourages them to observe the bird from a distance before making any efforts to capture it. The following signs were listed

by SBWCN to determine if a crow requires care: You witnessed the bird get injured (i.e. it was attacked by a predator, fell from a high nest, etc.); the bird has visible injuries (i.e. blood, asymmetrical wings, etc.); or the bird has no feathers or its eyes are closed (it is too young to be out of the nest). Like every animal, the best case scenario for a young crow is to stay in the care of its parents. Due to crows’ unique social structure, they have a much higher chance of survival when they can stay under the protection of their original family group in the wild. SBWCN only wants to intervene if a bird is injured or truly orphaned. When in doubt, citizens are encouraged to call the Wildlife Care Network Helpline for advice and instruction at 805681-1080. email: gmccormick@newspress. com

ARIES — May 25, 2021 - You may have been working on projects that make you feel good over the past few weeks, Aries, particularly projects that relate to attaining more independence in your career. In the process, you’ve probably developed some new skills and now feel confident enough to use them. Today’s one last burst of determination and inner power could complete the process and reach the goals you want. TAURUS — A surge of romantic passion could move you to rendezvous with a lover no matter what obstacles bar your way. Take care to notice what your partner wants! Enterprises that you may have been pursuing with business colleagues could take a giant step forward, as both you and your partners are feeling especially strong and motivated. Move forward with caution, Taurus, but move forward. GEMINI — Minor ailments may awaken a new determination to improve your health. You feel especially energetic today, Gemini, so you might go to the gym. Just don’t overdo it. You might also be considering several changes you’d like to make in your home or workplace. Give them careful thought before moving ahead. CANCER — The desire to bring important personal projects to a close might have you focusing a lot of energy on them, Cancer. You might need to run several errands before you can finish. Your energy is high, so consider playing some sports or getting a good workout at the gym. Push yourself, but not beyond your limits, Cancer. “No pain, no gain” is a fallacy! LEO — The desire for independence may have some family members thinking about breaking out on their own. Others could desire to make some extra money for their own projects. Your house could be busy today, if you’re in it at all. Don’t be surprised if everyone spends most of the day somewhere else. VIRGO — Your mind is especially acute today, Virgo. You may come up with ideas for new projects. You’re feeling especially motivated and courageous. Don’t be surprised if you try to achieve the impossible. Friends or groups could play a strong role in whatever you try. Move ahead cautiously, but move ahead. Don’t let the day’s advantages pass you by. Monday, November 16, 2015 LIBRA — Strong intuition

concerning ways to generate extra income might pop into your head all day. Some of them may seem off the wall, but don’t let that stop you. Look into the possibilities. They might not be that outrageous. This is definitely a day to move your interests forward, Libra. You have the energy and motivation to do wonders. Make the most of today! SCORPIO — Group activities or projects you’re working on with friends could prove inspiring today. Your enthusiasm is high, Scorpio, as is your energy, so you’re likely to want to channel your personal power into whatever goals you have. Today you have the courage to focus on matters that others wouldn’t even attempt. Move forward with caution, but go to it! SAGITTARIUS — A surge of inner power and intuition could have you thinking about embracing an unusual profession. Your desire for independence is strong now, Sagittarius, so you might be thinking about working on your own, perhaps in an artistic field or a service profession. You have the power to do wonders today. Be practical and move forward with caution, but follow your heart! CAPRICORN — Today you might channel one final, powerful burst of energy into completing a goal that means a great deal to you. Your courage and determination are high, and you have the ability to accomplish a lot at this time, Capricorn. If you’ve been considering projects that others think are impossible, this is the day to act. Move forward with caution, but go for the gold! AQUARIUS — Determination could advance career and money matters today. If you’ve been thinking about striking out on your own, Aquarius, this is the day to start. Some in-depth research might be required. Your need for independence in career matters is high, as well as the courage to go for what you want. Use caution and discretion, but move ahead anyway. Don’t let the day’s advantages pass you by! PISCES — You may desire freedom today, Pisces. Projects involving partnerships could get a strong push forward because you’re feeling especially motivated to get things done. Your partners could be inspired to get the ball rolling, and all of you may feel courageous enough to try the impossible. Don’t confuse courage with foolhardiness. Caution is always called for in tricky situations.

Thought for Today

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.
