Mercados to return to Fiesta Old Spanish Days team announces approval of Mercados De La Guerra

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Members of Old Spanish Days 2021 gather to announce the return of Mercados De La Guerra. From left are 2021 Spirit of Fiesta Ysabella Yturralde, Junior Spirit of Fiesta Savannah Hoover, El Segundo Vice Presidente David Bolton, La Presidenta Stephanie Petlow, La Primera Vice Presidenta Maria Cabrera and 2021 Saint Barbara, Patricia Oreña.

A festive, vibrant and authentic market — and a staple of Santa Barbara’s Old Spanish Days — will be back at De La Guerra Plaza this August. The big announcement was made Monday afternoon by Fiesta leadership, performers and board members, straight from the plaza itself. The mercados will look just as they have in the many years past, with live performances, music and, of course, lots of food. David Bolton, the 2021 Old

Spanish Days El Segundo Vice Presidente, described the mercados as “Ground Zero” for Fiesta. “It’s really an important part of what Old Spanish Days continues to do after 97 years in the community,” he told the NewsPress. “And this year is extremely special, because with so many impacted by the restrictions over the last 15 months, we’re really excited to once again be able to support our local nonprofits, our local businesses and members of the community with the Mercados De La Guerra 2021.” Mr. Bolton said the city of Santa

Barbara gave direction to hold the mercados just like the Fiesta did in 2019. The only difference this year is that there won’t be any booths in the middle of the plaza, creating a more open space in the center for attendees. In addition, the Casa Cantina at the Casa De La Guerra is not taking place, so there will be more overall space for the vendors. There will be approximately 21 food booths and 30 or more merchant booths this year, according to Laura Abrignani, the co-chair of the Mercados Committee for Old Spanish Days.

She told the News-Press that the fact that many of the food booths donate a percentage of their sales from Fiesta to nonprofits, coupled with the fact that Old Spanish Days supports nonprofits with its revenue, makes her grateful that the mercados can play a part in the recovery of small businesses. “It’s just bringing that feeling of community back,” Ms. Abrignani said. “We know a lot of the business in the surrounding areas — whether it’s hotels, restaurants, bars, even clothing Please see MERCADOS on A4

Back to singing praises Churches welcome people back to in-person, unmasked services By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Like all other industry sectors, church celebrations and religious services got the green light to return to totally normal operations on June 15. With no more capacity limitations, physical distancing requirements or mask mandates, places of worship are now able to hold services like they used to prepandemic. For example, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles — of which Santa Barbara County is a part — released guidelines on liturgical celebrations and religious services ahead of June 15’s reopening. The Archdiocese wrote that churches can get rid of prearranged reservation systems and bring back the following Catholic Mass traditions: group meetings, ministerial gatherings, social gatherings, liturgical singing, hymnals, missalettes, worship aids, collection baskets, Holy Communion at its regular time in the service, confession, anointing of the sick and more. In addition, the Archdiocese stated in its guidelines that while masks are required for unvaccinated individuals outdoors when social distancing is not possible and at all times indoors, “Parishes are not to verify who is and who is not vaccinated.” Rather, they must simply post signage to indicate the guidelines. Trinity Episcopal Church in the 1500 block of State Street had its first Sunday services without the capacity restrictions. Betty Wenzel, director of communications for the church, said that when the church resumed in-person services at the end of May, they were at capacity every week. In addition, she told the NewsPress, “We’ve seen a steady number of people attending (100+) for the 10 a.m. service in person and 40+ households continue to attend online, watching the livestream.” This past weekend was Solvang’s Santa Ines Mission’s first full service back in person as well. Father Bobby Barbato told the News-Press that between each of the weekend masses — two on Saturday evening and four on Sunday — there were approximately 100 people at each,

and around 20% wore masks. Father Barbato said that when churches were able to return to in-person with restrictions in late April, they were only able to actually sing the “Alleluia” together at the end of Easter Sunday mass. Over this past weekend, Santa Ines went from one cantor and zero singing back to a full choir. “It just hit me that I sang this time, and it was kind of like Easter — a little bit of a resurrection here,” the priest said. “It was just a joy to see some people I haven’t seen for a while who had been following us online, to see them here, to see the smiles and to just be back together. It was just joy, just gladness.” Up until this past weekend, Santa Ines had to approve a list of attendees for each mass, bring Communion out to attendees in Please see CHURCHES on A2

Up until this past weekend, the Santa Ines Mission in Solvang had to approve a list of attendees for each Mass, bring communion out to attendees in their vehicles listening to the service on the radio and enforce all of the COVID-19 restrictions. The mission has resumed more normal Masses.

A team of around 40 neighbors and concerned community members gathered at 825 De la Vina St. in Santa Barbara Monday afternoon as city council members toured the property. The community members held signs with phrases such as: “How would you like it if this was in your backyard?” “Too big” and “No privacy.” Their complaints surround a 21-unit, mixed use development by DMHA, which will bring a four-story structure to a neighborhood of primarily twostory homes. Today, Santa Barbara City Council will hold a public hearing on the project, and the neighbors are planning on calling in their concerns. The Architectural Board of Review approved the design in January and issued a final approval on March 22. But the property’s neighbor Donna Mrotek appealed the decision on March 31, citing neighbors’ concerns that the building doesn’t fit in with the homes surrounding the property. “The completion of this project breaks several regulations that were adopted to protect existing property owners and to maintain current historic and urban character,” she wrote in

her appeal. “The city is ignoring many of these codes to allow a structure to be built that is oversized for the lot.” Neighborhood compatibility should have been argued within the 10-day window for appeals of the design back in January, the city’s report says. City Council can consider two other complaints: historic resources and story poles. Ms. Mrotek argued the new development would be too close to structures of merit, but the city architectural historian deemed that no historic structures would be impeded by the new building. The neighbors inquired about story poles during the city council’s walkthrough Monday. Usually, a developer will map out the height of the building with poles, but ABR waived that requirement because the architect provided numerous 3D renderings. The city is recommending that the council denies Ms. Mrotek’s appeal. Ms. Mrotek was unable to attend the protest, but her daughter Keisha Mrotek represented her mom’s stance. “I want to make it clear that we’re not against any building but that we just want it to not be as intrusive on the existing neighbors. Because we are

Water Authority sues county

Goleta vaccine clinic to close

CCWA alleges Board of Supervisors ‘infringed on CCWA rights’ By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Central Coast Water Authority is suing Santa Barbara County over the management of the State Water Project. The organization filed the lawsuit in Santa Barbara County Superior Court and called the suit “significant and unprecedented” in its announcement Monday. The Water Authority alleged in a news release that the County Board of Supervisors inserted itself into decisions about how to manage State Water supplies. The CCWA manages, operates and finances the portion of the State Water Project in the county, and the organization contracts for the supply and pays 100% of the costs. The members on the CCWA’s governing board include the cities of Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, Buellton and Guadalupe, along with the water districts including Montecito, Carpinteria, Goleta and Santa Ynez (which contracts a portion of its State Water Project supply to Solvang). “CCWA and its member cities and water districts have the authority and responsibility to provide a reliable and adequate supply of clean and safe water to their customers,” the news

release stated. “For decades, CCWA’s members have made every significant decision regarding State Water … The lawsuit was necessary because the County Board of Supervisors has now infringed on the rights CCWA and its members have as independent agencies …” The county does not deliver state water and has no financial responsibility for it, according to the CCWA, which expressed concern that the county will therefore deprive the cities and water districts of their ability to manage supplies without the county’s interference. The specific instance being referenced by the Water Authority is that the county imposed “significant and unreasonable conditions on sales and exchanges of State Water,” which deprives the cities and water districts of new contract amendments that would improve flexibility and efficiency of buying and selling water across the State Water Project. The amendments are also reported to either offset the expense of State Water for its customers or help offset the cost of developing local supplies. “Without the market-driven efficiency that the new policies allow, financing and development of local water conservation

projects, such as desalination, potable reuse and recycled water may be impaired,” the press release said. “Water could be wasted as surplus supplies that could have been transferred won’t be, water in groundwater storage banks that could have been transferred won’t be, and carryover water in SWP reservoirs that could have been transferred won’t be.” The CCWA said that considering the current drought conditions and climate change challenges, water transfers and financing “will be critical.” “In the face of changing climate and water supply conditions locally and statewide, the Goleta Water District requires every tool in its water management portfolio to remain flexible and ensure a continued reliable source of water supply for the communities it serves,” Farfalla Borah, director of the Goleta Water District, said in a statement. “Water agencies in Santa Barbara County should be afforded the same rights and opportunities as all other agencies throughout the state.” A waste of water and increased costs for cities, districts and ratepayers are the top concerns of the CCWA, and the organization said the supervisors’

conditions are “limiting” and “extraneous.” Floyd Wicks, director of the Montecito Water District, said in a statement: “The various water agencies in the county have taken on the financial responsibility of bringing water into the county from the State Water Project. Originally, the county was financially committed to paying the high fixed cost of the Coastal Branch Aqueduct; however, it abrogated its responsibility to the Central Coast Water Authority and its members nearly three decades ago. “The assets of the Coastal Branch Aqueduct are now being paid for by tax-paying citizens within the various water agency boundaries, not the county. These same citizens elected their local representatives to manage those assets in such a way as to produce the least cost water possible. For the county to impose restrictions on maximizing the return on those assets, without having an ownership interest in the same, does not serve the interests of those same citizens.” Second District Supervisor Gregg Hart did not respond to a News-Press request for comment by deadline. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Cottage Health announced Monday that it is closing its mass vaccination clinic on July 29. This closure will allow time for those 12 and older to complete both doses of the Pfizer vaccine at the clinic if they receive their first dose by July 8. The clinic is located in the parking lot adjacent to Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital. It will remain open every Thursday through July 29. Anyone who needs a first or second dose is welcome. In addition, those who receive a first dose at the Goleta clinic after July 8 will receive assistance to schedule a second dose with another provider to complete their vaccination series. Cottage Health’s vaccine clinic is offering evening hours for upcoming clinics, providing Pfizer vaccine for everyone 12 and older. Walk-ins are welcome. Appointments are not required but can be scheduled at cottagehealth.org/myvaccine. More than 110,000 doses of the COVID vaccine were administered by Cottage Health as of June 14. Together with community partners throughout Santa Barbara County, collective efforts have helped to slow the spread of the

virus. Santa Barbara County now exceeds 56% fully vaccinated and 65% at least partially vaccinated, based on the eligible population 12 and older, according to a news release from Cottage Health. As the vaccination rate rose, COVID hospitalizations dropped, along with the case rate throughout the county. More than 1,000 volunteers from throughout the community stepped up to serve at Cottage Health’s community vaccine clinics over the past several months. Throughout the year, Cottage Health will continue to provide COVID vaccination for patients within its hospitals, and the Cottage Center for Population Health will continue its ongoing partnership with community health ambassadors to provide outreach to at-risk populations. Finally, Cottage Health will carefully monitor the status of COVID hospitalizations, cases and variants in the community and remain ready to respond to future needs. The Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital vaccine clinic is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. every Thursday through July 29.

over a year online strictly, and a lot of people felt isolated and it was just challenging,” Mr. Burton said. “But restarting in-person church has really given us a lot of energy, encouragement and excitement, and it feels good to meet together again in person.” The new head minister said that there haven’t been any issues with the new guidance, and churchgoers respect those who may feel a little less comfortable, and vice versa. That being said, Mr. Burton pointed out that he’s seen many new faces coming every week, so “they’re getting more and more comfortable with outdoor worship in person.” “I grew up in churches. I’m

29 years old, and that’s 29 years of just being in a church,” Mr. Burton said. “So when you’re going to something a lot, it becomes a part of your life, and the significance of it you kind of lose sight of. “What the pandemic has done for me personally is that it created a newfound appreciation of just meeting in church and understanding that, look, what we have here is truly special and I don’t want to take it for granted … It’s always been the highlight of my week, but it’s just became even more so.”

tuned into Waypoint’s live streamed services on YouTube. Since residents were able to return to Waypoint in person starting April 1, that number tuning in online now averages between 30 and 50 weekly. The minister said the groups of churchgoers not returning include some members of the elderly population who are still hesitant, and UCSB students unable to be on campus. These days, Waypoint is averaging at about 80 to 100 attendees in person per service, and while some individuals still wear their masks for various reasons, few don them anymore. “It was tough to do church for

However, Father Barbato said around half of the more at-risk populations, such as individuals over 70, continued to show up in person amid the restrictions. “They’re very dedicated and wanted to be there. I wasn’t going to stop them,” he said, chuckling. The priest added that he continues to pray “very hard” that the region doesn’t get impacted by another COVID variant. Furthermore, Father Barbato said that he’s looking forward to meeting some community members who may have just started watching church services online, and to see if they want to try an in-person service. “My hope is they’ll think, ‘Well, let me experience this in person,’” he said. “I’m sure there may be a few people who like being able to watch in their pajamas, which is OK, but I’m pretty confident we’ll get a good number of people back, and some new people too.” Waypoint Church Santa Barbara, located in the San Roque area and a member of the Los Angeles International Church of Christ, is continuing to hold services outdoors, both for the comfort of churchgoers and as a result of Santa Barbara’s temperate climate.

Santa Barbara Police recovered a loaded semiautomatic handgun from the beach Thursday night.

TRAFFIC, CRIME & FIRE BLOTTER SBPD arrests transient SANTA BARBARA — The Santa Barbara Police Department arrested a 40-year-old transient Thursday night after receiving calls of a shirtless man with a possible handgun concealed in his waistband around the area of State Street and Cabrillo Boulevard. Officers approached a man

east of Stearns Wharf matching the description, who allegedly discarded a gun on the beach upon seeing the police. Officers found the gun and identified it as a black and silver semi-automatic handgun. They could not verify the registered owner of the firearm through the Department of Justice database. The suspect, David W. Powell, was arrested on suspicion of carrying a concealed firearm (felony), felon in possession of a firearm (felony) and felon in

possession of ammunition (felony). Bail is $35,000. — Annelise Hanshaw

Vehicle fire spreads to 30 acres LOMPOC — A vehicle fire led to a 30-acre vegetation blaze Monday afternoon on State Route 1 south of Jalama Road near San Julian Ranch.

California Highway Patrol closed the highway from around 3-6 p.m. The fire initially had a slow rate of spread, and firefighters estimated it had the potential to claim 10 acres, but it escalated with potential for 50 acres at a moderate rate of spread. A Santa Barbara County Fire Department helicopter and fixed-wing tankers assisted the mission from the sky while crews extinguished the flames at ground level, containing the fire. — Annelise Hanshaw

Any property that has been identified and requested for purchase by a city, county, city and county, or nonprofit organization to serve the public benefit by providing housing or services directly related to low-income persons and for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for three or more years.

Note: The power to sell schedule for nonresidential commercial property is three or more years of tax default status, unless the county adopts, by ordinance or resolution, the five-year tax default schedule. The parcels listed herein meet one or more of the conditions listed above and thus, will become subject to the tax collector’s power to sell on July 1, 2021, at 12:01 a.m., by operation of law. The tax collector’s power to sell will arise unless the property is either redeemed or made subject to an installment plan of redemption initiated as provided by law prior to close of business on the last business day in June. The right to an installment plan terminates on the last business day in June, and after that date the entire balance due must be paid in full to prevent sale of the property at a tax sale. The right of redemption survives the property becoming subject to the power to sell, but it terminates at close of business on the last business day prior to the date of the sale by the tax collector. All information concerning redemption or the initiation of an installment plan of redemption will be furnished, upon request, by Harry E. Hagen, County Treasurer-Tax Collector, at the office locations listed below: County Administration Building 105 E. Anapamu Street, Room 109 Telephone: (805) 568-2920

MERCADOS

Continued from Page A1

stores — everybody gets a piece of that action, which is really important, especially after a pandemic.” La Presidenta Stephanie Petlow shared the news with reporters at the plaza, where she was decked out in traditional Fiesta dress alongside the other key members of the event. “This year was a tough year for all of us in Santa Barbara, all of us in the country, all of us in the world,” Ms. Petlow said. “So with choosing my theme ‘Honoring Our Generations,’ we’re going back to our family that founded Santa Barbara, some of the families dating back to the Cota family, the De La Guerra family, and then our family, our Fiesta family …” Both the Spirit and Junior Spirit of Fiesta attended the press conference. They told reporters they look forward to dancing in front of a live audience and, in the words of Spirit Ysabella Yturralde, “getting Fiesta back in motion.” While the mercados are indeed coming back this year, it still remains very unlikely that the main Fiesta parade or children’s parade will return this year. Mr. Bolton said the city’s Parks and Recreation Department already canceled the children’s parade, and the Fiesta parade won’t be able to occur on State Street with all of the parklets currently in the right-of-way. He told the News-Press that the Fiesta board and staff exhausted other optional streets for the parade. Chapala Street was ruled out due to the lack of trees and the impact it would have on the Carrillo Street thoroughfare. Cabrillo Boulevard and the beach was ruled out because of the impacts it would have on parking, the fact that it would cut off access to the beach and the difficulties of getting everyone to circle back around. When asked about Santa Barbara Street, Mr. Bolton said having the parade there would cut off the Haley and Anacapa Street thoroughfares, and the road doesn’t come up from the ocean.

Old Spanish Days 2021 La Presidenta Stephanie Petlow announces the return of Mercados De La Guerra this year.

Finally, the build out of Milpas Street’s sidewalks and other street fixtures, combined with its roundabout and heavy traffic, removed it from the conversation as well. Ultimately, though, the second vice president said it wouldn’t truly be the Fiesta parade if it weren’t on State Street.

TUESDAY, JUNE 22, 2021

“State Street has been the historic route for the parade since the very first year, and even dating back prior to Fiesta with the Flower Festival through town,” he said. “It’s always been that (street) in this town, and it’s been dynamic for Santa Barbara to have such a great parade route. You can’t really create that same feel by just moving to any street.” However, he did say that it was stated at their last meeting by La Primera Vice Presidenta Maria Cabrera: “We are ready to bring our parade up State Street as soon as the city makes it possible.” Mayor Cathy Murillo told the NewsPress Monday that the Fiesta parade was canceled because of COVID concerns, “not really because of the parklets.” She said that because of the city’s Emergency Economic Recovery Ordinance extension through March 2022, outdoor dining and the parklets will continue until then. The question, she said, remains of what to do with parades if parklets are allowed to stay in the street right-of-way on State Street. “That question will be taken up during the State Street Master Planning process,” the mayor said. “Staff is looking ahead to September of this year to develop suggestions related to parades and other issues when the EERO expires. “I’ve heard people talk about moving parades to Chapala Street, or Anacapa Street or to Cabrillo Boulevard. It will be great to hear people’s ideas. We love our parades, but we are also loving the new promenade on State Street.” That being said, Mayor Murillo said that it’s “wonderful” that the mercados can return to De La Guerra Plaza. “I’m sure it will make a lot of our residents happy to enjoy the entertainment, eat good food and support the nonprofits that set up booths in the plaza.” The Mercados De La Guerra ribbon cutting will take place on a Wednesday, Aug. 4, and run through that Saturday, Aug. 8. The mercados will be open each day from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. To learn more, visit sbfiesta.org. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

SB Unified to discuss sale of Tatum Property By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara Unified School district will convene for a closed session with its board at 5:30 p.m. today and a public meeting at 6:30 p.m. The COVID-19 report, which begins at 7 p.m., is estimated to take just 10 minutes, with few updates as the district waits for guidance from Cal/OSHA and the California Department of Public Health. The district is seeking another State Board of Education waiver, allowing it to forgo a competitive bidding process before the sale of the Tatum Property. The property, located off San Marcos Road in Goleta, was purchased by the district in 1964 before officials deemed the Tatum

Property unusable for a school. SB Unified then planned to lease the land for the development of a senior living facility. The developer changed his mind after studying the market. So now, the district’s plan is to sell the property to FPA Multifamily LLC for the development of affordable and workforce housing. The sale would usually require the district to offer the property to other government entities and solicit proposals. A waiver would allow the district to negotiate directly with FPA Multifamily LLC without offering the property widely. During the May 11 board meeting, SB Unified speculated about the possibility of reserving units in the development for district staff.

A public hearing is required for the district to seek a waiver, so the community has dedicated time at 7:30 p.m. to voice their opinions on the project. Later in the agenda, the board will decide if the district can request the State Board of Education waiver and potentially sign off on the $17 million sale of the Tatum Property. In the discussion agenda, SB Unified will present its plan to engage families with their children’s schools. The district particularly sees family-district partnerships as important during the expansion of its multilingual program. The plan is currently just a discussion item, though district staff hope to hire family engagement liaisons with a lead in the district office.

There are multiple human resource items on the agenda, including a closed-session evaluation of Superintendent Dr. Hilda Maldonado. The district wants to merge the positions of director of elementary education and director of secondary education into one, naming it executive director of curriculum and instruction. It also wants to hire two crisis care specialists. For the full agenda, go to santabarbara.novusagenda.com/ agendapublic. The meeting will be broadcast live on Zoom with Spanish and English interpretation at sbunified.zoom.us/j/97502201357 and also streamed live on Youtube at youtu.be/BA_EyARl5Pc.

Irma Cavat, artist, Professor Emeritus, mother, and free spirit, passed away on February 16, 2020 with her daughters at her side in Santa Barbara. Born in Brooklyn, New York in 1925, Cavat became a professional artist in her early 20s. She studied with Ukrainian sculptor, Alexander Archipenko, German-American artist, Hans Hofmann, at the New School for Social Research in New York, and modeled for French surrealist painter, Renee Magritte. Cavat designed the windows of FAO Schwartz WR\ VWRUH RQ )LIWK $YHQXH LOOXVWUDWHG VFLHQFH ÀFWLRQ books, and designed her own jewelry. As a young artist, she lived for a year in Haiti, exchanging room and board for portraits of the people with whom she resided. In the early 1950s, she became close friends and worked with artists Willem and Elaine De Kooning, thus joining the Abstract Expressionist group, which included Jackson Pollack and Franz Kline. She counted amongst her friends and associates the jazz musician, Charlie Parker, writers Frank O’Hara and James Baldwin, and jazz singer, Billie Holiday. She wed artist, Zubel Kachadoorian, in 1952, and when the marriage ended, Cavat moved with her children to Santa Barbara, CA to teach at UCSB from 1963 to 1995. Her awards include residencies at Yaddo in New York, the McDowell Colony in Maine, the Djerassi Foundation in Northern California, and a Fulbright Grant to Rome, Italy. It was in Rome during the period of 1957-1959 that her daughters, Karina Cavat (New York City) and Nika Cavat (Venice, California) were born, and she then continued to reside there for several more years. Cavat exhibited her art in New York, Michigan, California, Rome, Paris, London, and Athens. It was during the early PRYH EDFN WR WKH 8QLWHG 6WDWHV LQ WKH V WKDW VKH EHJDQ WR SDLQW ÀJXUDWLYHO\ RIWHQ using the Civil Rights and other social movements as inspiration for her work.

She exhibited her work at the Sheinbaum Gallery, NYC; the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, the Sullivan Goss Gallery, Santa Barbara, CA; the Feingarten Gallery, Los Angeles; Academia Americana, Rome, Italy, and Kennedy Galleries, NY, NY, amongst many venues. From the mid-’80s until the time of his death in 2002, kinetic sculptor, George Rickey used her California home, an over hundred-year-old converted barn, as a winter studio. In 1995, in collaboration with landscape architect, Isabelle Greene and Walter Kohn, a Nobel laureate in theoretical physics, Cavat helped create the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation’s Sadako Peace Garden on the 50th anniversary of the Hiroshima tragedy. She lived for extended periods of time in Paris, Provence, Athens, and London. An avid traveler, she also journeyed to the open markets of Morocco, Tiananmen Square in China, the Taj Mahal in India, and throughout parts of Turkey, Japan, Hungary, the Baltic States, and Russia.

Great handwriting Santa Maria 6th-grader wins penmanship award By MADISON HIRNEISEN

NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

ractice makes perfect. This well-known maxim is applied to everything from sports to school subjects to specialized skills. And it’s proven true for Noah Jebaraj in recent weeks. Noah, a rising seventh-grader at Valley Christian Academy, was chosen as the sixth grade semi-finalist in this year’s Zaner-Bloser National Handwriting Contest after years of practicing cursive handwriting. This accomplishment means that out of all the 6th-grade contest entries, Noah’s entry ranked as the second best penmanship nationwide and the best in California. The contest, which occurs annually, recognizes students from across the county for excellent handwriting. This year, the contest drew about 70,000 student participants between kindergarten and eighth grade, and only 20 of those received top honors, according to a news release. Each student was asked to pen the phrase, “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog,” because it contains every letter of the alphabet. The Zaner-Bloser judges then selected winners based on shape, size, slanting and space of the letters, according to a news release. After practicing cursive in his classes since first grade, Noah said he was completely surprised and excited to receive an award from Zaner-Bloser. “I was very happy,” Noah told the News-Press. “I always wanted to win an award.” Noah, alongside his classmates at Valley Christian Academy in Santa Maria, began practicing cursive in first grade, utilizing handwriting books in the school’s curriculum all the way through elementary school. Teachers then choose one student from each class with the best penmanship to submit to Zaner-Bloser, according to Beulah Jebaraj, Noah’s mother. Ms. Jebaraj told the News-Press that she found out that Noah had been named a semi-finalist a few days before her son found out. The school decided to honor Noah during his sixth-grade graduation ceremony and present him with his trophy in front of all his classmates and friends. “We were very excited,” Ms. Jebaraj said. “We actually knew a few weeks before Noah knew, so we had to keep the surprise a secret and it was really hard. But we were very excited. And of course, we were honored that he got this award.” She continued, “He’s been trying so hard ever since, I don’t know, second grade or third grade. I think he always wanted to win an award but he was second or Please see NOAH on B2

Believing in yourself while trusting others

elieving in yourself completely is a little like unconditional love: It is all too rare. I don’t mean to depress you, but that’s the reality for most of us earthlings. That’s why it’s so important to gather those moments of selfbelief together to get the inspiration you need. If you don’t trust yourself enough, it’s hard to let others in. You can’t do everything on your own. And in all aspects of life, it’s pretty tough to create anything larger than yourself if everything you work on has to be all yours. Collaborating with others allows you to add a new dimension to your life and your work. And collaboration means trusting others and yourself to come up with something good. Here’s an example of how selfbelief begins and then can go sideways. You start with an idea and do what you can to bring it to life. You involve other people, and they bring in new ideas. Then what started off as an expression of your deeper self becomes a group project, and you may fear that your original vision is getting

distorted. As a writer, I have no one else in my head. If that writing becomes a column and that column becomes a book or a television show, then my brain and creativity get populated with many other voices, and my ideas get shifted. This is not bad; it’s just part of the process. The trick is not to get your ego bent if all your ideas aren’t taken in the form you presented them. This is true collaboration, and the most talented people in the world use it. For example, George Harrison was in a little band called The Beatles, and he was working on a song titled “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” He brought the song to the band, and they didn’t think it was strong enough, so he called his buddy Eric Clapton, who added a couple of his touches to it, and it became a hit. Justin Bieber went through the same thing with “Love Yourself” and sent it to Ed Sheeran for a polish. It’s great to have talented people working with you, and you can trust that the people whom you’ve chosen are creative and smart enough to help you get the job done, or you would not have

picked them. Then you can create your artwork, your business, or your life in a way that allows you to express yourself while encompassing the best that others can offer. It’s satisfying to remember that you inspired this project, a fact that will never change or go away. Unfortunately, I have seen people overly worry about losing control. But that worry just causes you stress, and things won’t turn out as well. You have to learn to let go a little and see what others can bring. If it’s not exactly what you want, you can always add a few more touches, like Eric did for George, and make it a hit. Right now is when we need new ideas. We need them implemented as soon as possible, and that takes a village. Luckily, most of us have a desire to be part of something larger than ourselves.

feeling. It was definitely exciting.” At the sixth-grade graduation ceremony, Noah was presented with a Zaner-Bloser trophy and certificate to celebrate his achievement. This made the day even more special for Noah, who was already slated to give a speech and receive a medal for being the salutatorian of his class.

ARIES — Smile at the world today, Aries. Be thankful for the things you have and the people around you. Amplify the cozy, warm feeling inside and spread this love to others. This is a very expansive time for you in which you can get quite a bit accomplished if you set your mind to it. Radiate your true nature through every cell in your body and watch as the opportunities come your way. TAURUS — Today isn’t the best day to play practical jokes, Taurus, so put away the disappearing ink. Stick close to home. Find security in doing things you know how to do best. Hang a painting and cook a scrumptious dinner. You can inspire others with your smile, so use it. Don’t get down if your thoughts aren’t flowing well with the group. This is a sign that you should spend some time alone. GEMINI — There may be a great deal of opposition in your way today, Gemini, but try not to dwell on it. The key is to stay levelheaded and maintain a positive outlook. This is a day in which you can bring a great deal of balance to issues by understanding and respecting the other side. Have charity for those who are making sacrifices so that you may have a more comfortable ride. CANCER — The pieces of today’s puzzle may not fit into place, Cancer, and it’s possible that you have no idea why. Don’t stress over something you don’t quite understand. The key to making things work out is listening. Adjustments will definitely be needed on both sides, but this can only happen if both parties are willing to open their ears and understand one another’s perspective. LEO — Today can be an extremely productive day, Leo. You’re in a good space from which to work and this will aid you in all your endeavors. Today is also excellent for looking at some of the long-term trends moving through your life now. Consider the next five or ten years and think about how your actions will affect your future. Plan ahead to get ahead. VIRGO — There may be a battle between old and new in your world today, Virgo. A reserved and oldfashioned perspective has a strong hold on the prevailing sentiment. This feeling is likely going to hit you square in the face you lean Monday, November 16,as2015 toward the unconventional and

HOROSCOPE more revolutionary approach to life. See what sort of past lessons you can learn from as you build the future. LIBRA — People may seem a bit stubborn today. Your powers of adaptation may be put to the test, Libra. The people around you are likely to call on your tender, sympathetic nature. Offer a nurturing ear and strong shoulder for others to cry on. Keep things low key and steady. The more grounded you are, the easier it will be to get along with the energy of today. SCORPIO — When you go up a flight of stairs, take one step at a time today, Scorpio. Skipping up the staircase two at a time could result in you falling back to the bottom. Trying to rush things today will leave holes in your projects. Finish jobs completely by making sure that every step is thoroughly taken care of. Don’t ignore the details. SAGITTARIUS — Today is a terrific day for taking the plunge or making an investment, Sagittarius. Luck and prosperity are in your favor, and you have the opportunity to make some very profitable financial decisions. Your intuition is right in line with what you need to do. Make the best deal possible and provide a fair and secure future for you and your investment. CAPRICORN — The key to being successful today is to maintain an air of stability. If others see you as too flighty and off the wall, they will hesitate about putting their trust in you. Make sure you do those things in your power that will help boost your clout. You will need this support from others later. Make a solid base to build on. AQUARIUS — Today is a very expansive day for you, Aquarius. Your emotions can lead you into favorable situations with others. The pace of the day may seem a little slow, but this can be used to your advantage. Examine every detail with care and try not to leave any piece of the equation unaccounted for. You should enjoy a stable, caring mood that radiates out and draws others toward you. PISCES — You may feel like you’re coming up against a brick wall, Pisces. Your emotions are a bit stifled and you may find that you’re more stubborn than usual. There is a large and beneficial force that you can tap into today, as long as you keep your intuition open. The less you search for it, the more likely it will come to you. Something may spur you to act.

CODEWORD PUZZLE

SUDOKU

Thought for Today

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.

At left, Gary Yencich’s main concern is the height of the building. He lives in a multi-family building behind the property. At right, Keisha Mroteck explains how to speak during City Council meetings to the other protesters. Her mom, Donna Mroteck, filed an appeal of the project’s final approval.

PROTEST

Continued from Page A1 individuals who live here and have lived here a long time,” Keisha Mrotek told the NewsPress. The protestors didn’t seem aggressive. They didn’t yell or stomp. They just appeared disappointed. One pointed out his home to councilmembers, a multifamily house located behind the property. Neighbors’ concerns have impacted the design of the development, said Ed de Vicente, the project’s architect. “Many of these neighbors spoke at those early hearings, and we revised the design. And in the end, the ABR, for final approval, said it was an exemplary four-story project,” he told the News-Press. To address concerns, the developers removed patios on the back of the building that may have been a privacy concern and pushed the edges of the building away from the back of the lot a few feet. The lot, which now serves as surface parking, will be enveloped by the proposed structure. As

a mixed-use building, it doesn’t need to leave large gaps between the building and the property line. To make the building less intimidating from street level, he pushed back the fourth story so it isn’t visible from the front elevation. The edit makes the fourth story

invisible in DMHA’s rendering of the street-level view, which is posted at the front of the property. It looks like a three-story structure, which neighbors say is deceiving. Keisha Mroteck received one notification of development, in April 2020, and didn’t hear

more from the city. Some of her neighbors spoke up during public meetings, but many didn’t know what was going on, she said. Mr. de Vicente felt like his team was transparent throughout the process, putting in extra hours to provide many building mock ups. “We would never apologize for the project or the design; we think it’s a good project,” he said. “We see this (pushback) often when you get a new or project in a neighborhood that tend to be more catalytic.” Neighbors have ideas to make the development a welcome addition to the neighborhood. Some mentioned more parking, family housing or more affordable units. (Currently, the plan includes two moderate-income units.) “Property owners do have a right to develop real property, but it should be in keeping with the standard of the previous standard to the community,” Gary Yencich said. “And I feel like this is not the scale of the scope, especially the height of it.” Ideas varied slightly between the approximately 40 protestors, but all agreed that four stories, while up to code, is too high for the neighborhood. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Goleta acknowledges CERT ambassadors By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

The city of Goleta is praising its CERT Business Ambassador Team “for a job well done.” “This volunteer group, made up of graduates from the City’s Community Emergency Response Team program, was an enormous part of Goleta’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic,” the city said in a news release. “They worked in three teams and met businesses at their storefronts to provide guidance and education to the ever-changing health guidelines and provided ideas and solutions to challenges that arose at store locations.” The CERT business ambassadors put in more than 300 hours of work for the community and contacted more than 125 businesses in Goleta. The program was led by Michael Baris, the city’s emergency services coordinator, and Natalia Rios, an emergency services aide, who also serve as the program managers.
