Public library services are now available in Isla Vista for the first time, thanks to a roaming Goleta Valley Library van. California Sen. Monique Limón secured a $200,000 grant that will provide all the supplies and labor needed for two years of this mobile library. At a ribbon-cutting ceremony Monday, officials expressed sentiments that the van’s two-year pilot program is just the beginning. They are creating small libraries and book-drop locations throughout Isla Vista for those who miss the library van, and Goleta Mayor Paula Perotte alluded to the possibility of book vending machines. “Since taking over library management from the City of Santa Barbara, we have been really able to tailor our library services to the community’s needs and interests. For some time, our partners in Isla Vista, including the Isla Vista Community Service District and Isla Vista Elementary, have been interested in providing satellite library service to the Isla Vista community,” she said. The City of Goleta took control of

Goleta Valley Library July 1, 2018, and the library soon looked at ways to expand its reach to other communities. In 2019, the library surveyed Isla Vista residents and determined a mobile library would be the best outreach solution. Sen. Limón said the State Legislature supported the initiative because of the importance of literacy. “This is more than just a book van . . . This is about investing in literacy and technology for our communities, particularly in those communities that can’t come to us. So we are going to the communities, making a meaningful investment to ensure that our kids have the ability to check out books,” she said. The van provides digital materials, a wifi connection, crafts, DVDs and supplies such as virtual-reality headsets. It holds about 500 books at a time. “Throughout the covid 19 pandemic, it’s brought to light something that we always knew, which is that there is a stark digital divide. And bringing these services of print materials, books, novels, is going to be so transformative for those that live in our community,” Spencer Brandt, Isla Vista Community Services District board president said. He thinks of libraries as community

centers, a place to learn together. Santa Barbara County Third District Supervisor Joan Hartmann is glad to see the van stop at places that serve all ages, from preschoolers to the community’s elders. “Isla Vista is in a renaissance with the Community Services District and with the rec and parks; we’re seeing all kinds of new activities,” she said. “And people are coming together from different backgrounds, different ages, and here at the community center, rubbing shoulders and understanding what it means to be a member, a responsible member, of this community. So this book van is going to help us a long way on that course.” Goleta Valley Library Director Allison Gray is excited to see what the van will provide. “There are a lot of people here in Isla Vista who come from cultures where there are no libraries, so they are unfamiliar with the concept. So we want to hope that they will be curious enough to come up and give us a try,” she said. Anyone can receive a library card and check out books at the van.

The U.S. Supreme Court began its term Monday with major cases ahead and a 6-3 conservative majority. This term, justices are hearing cases involving gun rights, religion and abortion. Monday marked the first day that the justices were back in their historic courtroom after an 18month absence caused by the pandemic. Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who tested positive for COVID19, stayed at home and worked remotely. (The justice, who is fully vaccinated, isn’t showing symptoms.) It’s the first full term for the 6-3 majority, which now includes Justice Amy Coney Barrett, the third of President Donald Trump’s appointments to the Supreme Court. She succeeded liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. This year’s Supreme Court term comes nearly 50 years after a woman’s right to an abortion was established nationally by the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling. The question now is whether the court’s rulings this term will overturn or revise that ruling or leave it entirely intact. On Saturday, hundreds of local residents marched in Santa Barbara in support of reproductive rights for all, chatting to protest abortion restrictions. Justices voted 5-4 in early September to permit Texas’ ban on most abortions, but they haven’t ruled on the substance of the law. On Dec. 1, the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments on Mississippi’s law to ban most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Lower courts blocked the law. They pointed to high court rulings that permit states to regulate but not outright ban abortion before 24 weeks of pregnancy. That’s the point when a fetus can survive outside the womb.

A leak from the oil platform known as Elly has washed crude along Newport, Laguna and Huntington beaches. Approximately 126,000 gallons of oil poured into the Catalina Channel, similar to the size of the 2015 Refugio State Beach oil spill. Elly, installed in 1980, is far from the oldest platform off California’s coast, and investigators are working to pinpoint the exact location of the leak. Coast Guard investigators believe a misplaced anchor may be the culprit, according to a Los Angeles Times report. Elly is one of 23 platforms in federal waters. Of those, 19 are off the coast of Santa Barbara County, and two are being decommissioned. There are 19 rigs in California waters. In January, U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, introduced the California Clean Coast Act, which would ban offshore drilling off the coast of California. Although the act has not gained significant traction in the House, the fiscal year 2022 Housepassed appropriations bill includes protections from oil exploration off California’s coast. “The Central Coast is no stranger to the danger of oil spills. I will never forget walking along the beach after the Refugio Oil Spill in 2015 and seeing our coastline slick with oil,” Rep. Carbajal told the News-Press. “The latest spill in Orange County should serve as yet another wake up call, reminding us of the risk oil drilling poses to our environment, health and economy.” Please see SPILL on A3

Demonstrators in support of reproductive rights march Saturday in Santa Barbara. In December, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear an appeal of lower courts’ efforts to block a Mississippi law that would ban most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.

Abortion, gun, religious rights in spotlight for Supreme Court Continued from Page A1 In early November, gun rights will be in the spotlight. Justices will hear a challenge to New York

restrictions on carrying a gun in public. And the court will consider religious rights in education when it hears a case concerning Maine’s exclusion of religious schools from a tuition program for families who

live in communities without public schools. In addition to the cases, the court also faces the possible retirement of liberal Justice Stephen Breyer, who’s 83. If that happens, President Joe

Biden will name a successor, and a simple majority could confirm the appointment in the Democratic-controlled Senate. email: dmason@newspress.com

Residents asked to stay off Orange County beaches SPILL

Continued from Page A1 Santa Barbara County’s experience with spills, including the state’s largest spill in 1969, inspired his legislation. “In Congress, I have worked hard to transform the Central Coast into a renewable energy hub. We can lead the way toward a fossil-free future and propel our economy forward by harnessing the potential of solar and wind energy, which does not pose the same risks to our environment that oil drilling does. I will

keep fighting to protect our ocean from harmful oil drilling and cement our leadership in the renewable energy sector,” he said. In 2019, the Trump administration proposed to expand offshore oil and gas exploration — including off the coast of California. Cleanup efforts are under way in Orange County, and residents are advised to stay off the beaches. The Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network is in contact with the wildlife assistance groups in Huntington Beach and is standing by to help.

Westmont swimmers start SBCC cross country athletes season by breaking records SPORTS ROUNDUP

run despite the heat

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

It was more than 90 degrees Friday in Moorpark — grueling conditions for a cross-country meet. But Santa Barbara City College’s cross country athletes persevered. In the women’s 5K, freshman Luzie Brings placed 38th out of 53 finishers with a time of 25:02 at the WSC Preview Meet, which Moorpark College hosted at Arroyo Vista Community Park. “Luzie, in her first-ever season of cross country racing — or any sort of run racing — did the best she could given the conditions,” head coach Scott Fickerson said in a news release. “She tried to go out controlled to manage the heat, but still wilted a bit over the course of the 5K race and had to be treated at the end for minor heat exhaustion. Because of these challenges, she did not post her best time of the season, but gained valuable experience as a novice runner.” In the men’s 4-mile race, the Vaqueros’ Mark Hernandez placed 75th among 87 finishers with a time of 29:10. It was his first race since the Oxnard Invitational several weeks ago. Even though the Moorpark and Oxnard terrain are similar,

Hernandez ran three minutes slower, Fickerson said. “He ran a smart race, but suffered in the heat to the extent he was weaving a bit in the final stretch and struggling to avoid vomiting over the last mile of the race,” the coach said. “He gave a valiant effort and learned a lot about mental toughness and managing his resources in the heat.” The cross country runners will head to the Mount SAC Invitational on Oct. 15. Race times will be 10 a.m. for the women and 10:45 a.m. for the men.

SBCC WINS WOMEN’S SOCCER GAME The Santa Barbara City College women’s soccer team defeated Cuesta 2-0 Saturday night, giving the Vaqueros their first Western State Conference win for this year. Playing on its home field, the City College team kept its offense going, posting a season high of 25 shots, according to a news release. In the second minute of the game, sophomore forward Monica Pizano scored a goal off an assist by Alexia Cabral, who scored her own goal in the 37th minute at La Playa Stadium. Pizano now leads the Vaqueros

with five goals for the season and is part of a three-way tie with three assists. The Vaqueros’ defense allowed only one shot on a Cuesta goal, but Vaqueros goalkeeper Analea Pule made a save. On Friday, the Vaqueros go back on the road for a 4 p.m. conference match at L.A. Pierce.

UCSB, HAWAI’I TIE IN OVERTIME UCSB and Hawai’i went into double overtime Sunday, but the women’s soccer game ended with a scoreless draw. Elise Ziem almost won the game for the Gauchos in the 100th minute, but her shot hit the goal’s crossbar at Waipio Peninsula Stadium on Oahu. During the first overtime, Gauchos’ senior defender Emma Vanderhyden and freshman midfielder O’Callahan Liu recorded shots, according to a news release. Gauchos junior goalkeeper Evann Smith made six saves in the game. The Gauchos will be back at UCSB Harder Stadium to take on Cal State Northridge at 7 p.m. Thursday. The game will live-stream at ucsbgauchos. com. email: dmason@newpress.com

WESTMONT COLLEGE WRITER

Records fell last weekend in the first swim meet of the year for the Westmont women’s swimming team. The Warriors hosted a two-day event on Friday and Saturday at the Montecito campus’ pool with Arizona Christian and Soka and came away with first place. Westmont posted 178 points to Arizona Christian’s 126 and Soka’s 39. The meet was conducted without the presence of head coach Jill Jones Lin, who is out on maternity leave after the recent birth of her son Caden Lluka Lin. In her absence, Gregg Wilson took the lead with the help of fellow assistant coaches Megan Bergthold and Hannah Holman. Freshman Ella Chaisson from Burbank rewrote three Warrior records. She won both the 100yard and 200-yard breaststroke while setting school records with times of 1:10.12 and 2:30.48 respectively. Chaisson also established a new school record (4:40.66) while taking first place in the 400 yard individual medley relay. All three times were within the “B” qualifying standard for the NAIA National Championships. Posting a school record in the 200-yard butterfly was freshman Olivia Garrison of Roseville. Her

time of 2:22.52 earned her second place in the event. Garrison won the 1,000-yard freestyle, posting a time of 11:14.85, which is the fourth fastest time in Westmont history. Garrison’s time of 4:55.72 resulted in a second-place finish in the women’s 400 yard individual medley, which was also the fourth fastest time in the record books. Sophomore Bridget Hoth won the 50-yard, 100-yard and 200-yard freestyle races for the Warriors in a times of 25.79, 57.19 and 2:06.45 respectively. Junior Kassy Gregory came in second in 200-yard freestyle, touching the final wall in a time of 2:10.03. Junior Rian Lewandowski claimed first place in the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 1:02.46. Fellow junior Morgan Bienias won the 200 yard backstroke, finishing in a time of 2:16.52. In the 500 yard freestyle, Bienias won with a time of 5:33.54. In the relay events, which were

John “Jack” Meaney was born in the Irish Catholic enclave on Braintree, Massachusetts on July 21, 1928. The sixth of seven children born to immigrants Mary and Edward Meaney, family and his blue collar community taught Jack the importance of hard work. Jack earned his Àrst job as a school crossing guard at age 8. It was a Christmas gift received from one of his crossing charges that would divert Jack from the tradesman path that his parents had envisioned to a life beyond Braintree. The gift was the book – Rockne and Notre Dame about the famous Fighting Irish football coach. It is through the re-reading of this much loved book that Jack adopted the trinity of God, Ireland, and Notre Dame that would serve him throughout his life. Jack applied his hard work ethic to his numerous jobs and his school work. He often stayed late working with Mrs. Riordan so that he could lose his Irish brogue and speak “like an American boy.” His hard work paid off as Jack earned a spot in the College preparatory high school. Upon hearing the news that Jack would not be attending the trade high school his mother cried tears of despair afraid her son would not be able to support himself in the future. Her concerns almost came to fruition as Jack Ànished Braintree High School with honors but no money for college. However, with World War II winding down and the GI bill adopted, Jack entered the Marines. Upon completing his mandated two years of service, Jack wrote a letter to the President of Notre Dame requesting admittance. He considered no other schools, he had no back-up plan. Fortunately based on the level of his writing skills, Jack was accepted becoming the Àrst in his family to attend college and beginning a Notre Dame legacy that would extend (to date) 3 generations. Jack arrived to South Bend Indiana in 1948. The campus, the classes and aura of Notre Dame exceeded his expectations. He had arrived but had to work hard both in and out of the classroom to stay. In addition to his classes and numerous jobs, as a journalism major Jack was responsible for writing articles for the school paper, The Observer. Often not enough hours in the day were available between dawn and lights out for Jack to get to all that needed to be done. Things changed when Jack learned that he could covertly utilize the adjacent storeroom outlet for lighting after 11 pm. At Àrst a sports writer (during the Frank Leahy period) it was during his junior year that Jack would earn the spot of Editor in Chief, a position he held until graduation in 1952. Despite tight Ànances, Mary and Edward took the train from Braintree to South Bend to see their son graduate. After graduation Jack went to wherever he could Ànd a job, settling in St. Paul, Minnesota. It was while living and working in St. Paul that Jack would meet St. Catherine University student Greta Van Wyk. When Greta graduated and returned to California, Jack followed, an act appreciated by all of their future six children. They married in 1955. Working Àrst for the Santa Maria Times, an opening at the sports desk of the Santa Barbara News Press brought the newlyweds to Santa Barbara. When Greta’s father A.C. relocated to Santa Barbara to open Van Wyk’s Volkswagen, Jack was brought in as Vice President. Soon sons John, Tom, Pat, Jim, Kevin and daughter Mary would round out his sales team. Jack’s success with Volkswagen led to his own dealership, Jack Meaney Motors in Thousand Oaks. When in 1976 an offer came in to sell the dealership and return to Santa Barbara full time, Jack took it and a position at Merrill Lynch. Jack would stay with Merrill Lynch until his retirement in 2002. Despite his retirement, Jack stayed active in the Ànancial market, offering his expertise to family and friends. With his retirement Jack enjoyed spending time with his family. He especially enjoyed attending the sporting events of his grandchildren whether it be water polo, hockey, volleyball, track, soccer or surÀng. He watched each event with the intensity of a former sports writer. However, since the days when he would listen on his father’s radio, his greatest sporting joy remained Notre Dame football. He never missed a game and frequently returned to South Bend to light a candle at the grotto, attend the pep rally and take in the game in the shadow of the Golden Dome, always with some of his children and eventually his grandchildren. In 2000, Jack met Joanne Schwarzer and they married in 2013. They shared a love of travel. Some memorable experiences included a sighting of the Queen and Queen Mum at Royal Ascot, feeding kangaroos at the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary in Tasmania and cruising the Danube River. Joanne and Jack often visited the Hawaiian Islands during winter. Rome was a very special trip during which he attended a mass at St. Peter’s Square with the homily by Pope Francis. Trips to visit his brother, Fran and his wife, Jackie always made him happy, keeping in touch with his family. Jack became a stepfather to Joanne’s son, Alec. There were many basketball games he attended, cheering him on in the bleachers. Jack was a member of St. Anthony’s Community in Santa Barbara and appreciated the warmth and kindness of this beautiful group. They were and continue to be a source of support and treasured spiritual comradery. On September 15, 2021 Jack departed this world, leaving his family and friends with fond memories of a loving soul. His family is missing him already: Children, John Meaney, Jr. and his son; Thomas Meaney (Àancée Ellen) and his family; Patrick (Tara) Meaney and his family; James (Lynn) Meaney and his family; Kevin Meaney and his family; Mary (Steve) Reichel and her family; wife, Joanne Meaney; stepson, Alec Botros (Àancée Jessica); brother, Francis (Jackie) Meaney.

ismet” is the most ambitious project that the Santa Barbara Symphony and the State Street Ballet have ever tackled together. That’s according to the two ensembles’ artistic directors, who are clearly excited about presenting the musical, which includes elaborate costumes, sets, professional vocalists, and performers from around the world, including actors based in New York City. “In my quarter century here as founder (of the State Street Ballet), I’ve never seen this much going on at one time,” Rodney Gustafson, the ballet’s executive and artistic director, told the News-Press. “We’ve done big things with a hundred singers on risers and us on the stage and the Santa Barbara Symphony in the pit. We’ve done nothing of this magnitude, with such a variety of talent, with leading people from Broadway.” Nir Kabaretti, the symphony’s music and artistic director, is equally excited. “We just got back from New York, where we had one week working with the cast in the five main roles for the show,” said Maestro Kabaretti, who is working with vocalists as the musical director of “Kismet.” “We have 21 professional singers, including nine from Santa Barbara County.”

The product of local philanthropy and coast-to-coast enthusiasm, “Kismet” will be presented at 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. Oct. 23 and 3 p.m. Oct. 24 at The Granada, 1214 State St. “Kismet” is a Tony-winning musical set in and around ancient Baghdad, where an opportunist/ poet gets into and out of trouble in ways fitting for a musical comedy. There’s also the Caliph, who’s determined to get married, and plenty of plot twists. The musical is Charles Lederer and Luther Davis’ Tonywinning 1954 adaptation of the 1911 play “Kismet” by Edward Knoblock. The lyrics and music are by Robert Wright and George Forrest, who adapted the music of Russian classical composer Alexander Borodin (1833-1887). The musical was adapted into a 1955 film, directed by Vincente Minnelli and starring Howard Keel as the poet and Ann Blyth as Marsinah. The Santa Barbara production includes New York City actors Jonathan Raviv as Hajj and Sherz Atehata as Lalume. Both Maestro Kabaretti and Mr. Gustafson are excited about presenting “Kismet” before an inperson audience. “It’s been 18 months that we haven’t had an (in-person) audience,” Maestro Kabaretti said. “We’re all looking forward to performing in front of a live audience. For the dancers, for the musicians, it’s a thrill to be back. Please see KISMET on B2

Ten things to do on days when you have no energy

e all have days when we have no energy, and if you use some creativity, you can make these days work for you (even if you have to drag yourself out of bed). It’s okay to move a little slower, as long as you keep moving. Here are ten things to do on days when you have no energy. 1. Keep smiling. As long as you have a smile on your face, other people will never know you aren’t feeling like Snoopy at suppertime. Finding something to smile about will make your day a little brighter and actually give you something to smile about. 2. Take a quick shower. Even if you’re feeling a bit unwell, it really is the healthiest thing to do. You can also take a long bath, but keep the water temp comfortable. Your energy level will pick up a little, and it may get you through the rest of the day. 3. Put on clothes that make you feel good. Truth be told, I’m a sweats guy, but if I need to show

up and want a boost, the power suit comes out of the closet. This triggers my professional mode, and it helps keep my mind sharp. The other advantage of wearing a suit is that people take you more seriously, so sometimes you can just sit there and look good. 4. Stop and smell the roses. Find something lovely to get a little extra inspiration. This is why I garden, as does Sir Michael Caine, so I know I’m in good company. The idea is to let a little natural beauty inspire you. 5. Do things in bitesized chunks. Take a break every 30 minutes or more if you need it. If you overdo and exhaust yourself, it can take days to recover, so respect what your body is telling you and try to do a little at a time. 6. If it’s not something you absolutely have to do, don’t do it today. This truly is one of those cases where procrastinating is not

a bad idea. If it can wait until your energy returns, then let it wait. 7. Phone it in. Remote work is very helpful on days like these, and if you can work from your bedroom when you need to, that’s a gift. You don’t always have to be the brightest light in the room. Sometimes just a faint glow is enough. 8. Ask a friend. If you can’t muster the forces to do something you’d planned with other people, and someone else can fill in, ask a friend to be there for you. The people you were going to meet will respect that you were honest about your physical and emotional state, and they’ll be grateful you found someone who can go in your stead. 9. Do some acting. Sometimes you have to put your Oscar face on and act your way through a difficult day. We’ve all done it, and sometimes the acting can kick the negative energy out.

10. Remember, you will probably feel better tomorrow. Another sunrise may make all the difference, so when you rest, allow the possibility of a new day to lift you up. I know it may sound corny, but I just did it, and I’m feeling pretty good now. Low energy days are a part of life. When your body tells you it needs a break, my suggestion is to listen. It sucks when you have a day off, and you’re too tired to play in the garden or pick up your guitar, but just let it go for now and respect what your body is saying. An easy day today could mean a big success tomorrow. Barton Goldsmith, Ph.D., LMFT, is an award-winning therapist and writer.

Continued from Page B1 ‘It’s an important moment, and I couldn’t be happier to do something on this level of collaboration,” Maestro Kabaretti said. Mr. Gustafson said the audience can expect a bigger production than a typical Broadway show. “Usually with a Broadway show, you would have an orchestra that is fairly small and not known to be a symphony with its own conductor,” Mr. Gustafson said, noting Maestro Kabaretti’s vast credentials and expertise. The symphony conductor praised the musical’s score. “There are not many classical composers whose music becomes a Broadway standard,” Maestro Kabaretti said.

We are using full blown dance numbers to move the narrative forward, and it is a dream to be able to revive this classic, Tony Award-winning show.” Mr. Gustafson, who praised Mr. Soleau for his brilliant choreography, told the NewsPress that the show has “exceptional, better dancers than you would find in a Broadway show. “And the costumes are unbelievable,” Mr. Gustafson said. “We have a 14,000-square foot space we had to rent because the costumes are so exotic. There’s no other way to describe them. They’re very exotic.” He noted State Street Ballet has dancers from six countries in “Kismet.” “It’s certainly a diverse show.” email: dmason@newspress.com

Thought for Today

By Dave Green

ARIES — Add a bit of spice in your life by engaging in spontaneous activities. It’s time to get out and enjoy more of the world. Explore those things that are inherently different from what you’d expect to find. Pick the closed door instead of the open one through which you can see to the other side. TAURUS — There may be some emotional strain and tension in your world, but this can be remedied when you look at things in perspective. Don’t get weighed down by passing moods that cripple your productivity. Focus on the things that are working well in your life and concentrate your energy on those. Your communication skills and humanitarianism will pull you out of your rut today. GEMINI — People may be bearing down hard on you. They will have some facts to back themselves up. Your brain is like a computer storing bits of information to use at times like this. No one is safe against a mental and emotional arsenal like yours. If you’ve done your homework and prepared well, the challenges should prove to be no problem for you. CANCER — This is a great day for you. You may feel like you can exercise more of your freedom. Break any shackles that seem to be holding you back. There’s no reason to feel hindered. Your adventuresome attitude is brave, and there’s a great deal of territory to conquer. Get focused and go. You have the green light. LEO — You’re in a sticky emotional battle in which someone is trying to twist your words to make you look like the bad guy. As soon as you try to get a project started, someone moves counter to your aims. Perhaps this is all due to a misunderstanding. Take the time to clear the air in all your relationships. VIRGO — Friendships go surprisingly well for you now, so look to them for the support you seek. Future plans may be uncertain, so don’t worry about them now. It’s important to bask in each moment and give thanks for every breath. You should feel good, so take aggressive action. LIBRA — Lessons may come Monday, November 16, 2015 in odd shapes and sizes today, so

don’t feel like you need to make immediate sense of every little thing. Instead of overanalyzing everything and becoming paralyzed by the emotions you feel, take decisive action and make mistakes. This is where the lessons come in. Let them teach you what you need to know. SCORPIO — You’re in for some unexpected surprises, but don’t worry, because most of them will be exciting and welcome. Prepare yourself by being open and accepting of other people and the new situations they bring. The path of least resistance will take you exactly where you need to go. Move toward people who radiate loving, positive energy. SAGITTARIUS — You may feel like you’re driving on a highway and suddenly all the lanes merge. This bottleneck should cause you tension and difficulty. Your first reaction may be to let all the other people go by. Keep in mind that on a day like this, you’ll never get where you need to be unless you’re more aggressive. CAPRICORN — You’ll be at an advantage if you can learn to distance yourself from the emotional crux of the matter. Maintain a neutral viewpoint. It will be important in order for you to conduct yourself in the way you need to in order to be successful. Great flashes of inspiration result as long as you can keep your mental processes running smoothly. AQUARIUS — You may feel like a mouse trying to get the cheese in the middle of the kitchen floor. From your corner, you can see the cheese in the distance. Yet you know a cat lurks nearby. As soon as you step into the open and out of your protected spot, the cat will react quickly and with great force. You might just want to wait until another day before grabbing the cheese. PISCES — Your emotions receive a boost of support from those around you. Be careful that you don’t let this energy go to your head. This is a good day to sit back and gain perspective on things instead of assuming you have all the answers. Opportunities will come to you when you join a team of progressive thinkers who aren’t afraid to push beyond current boundaries.

6 Codeword is a fun game with simple rules, and a great way to test your knowledge of the English language.

How to play Codeword

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.

WEIDE Case Number: 21PR00438 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Marion S. Weide A Petition for Probate has been filed by Halle Papen in the SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA. The Petition for Probate requests that Halle Papen be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The Petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: 11/18/2021 at Time: 9:00 AM, in Dept.: 5, located at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101; PO Box 21107, Santa Barbara, CA 93121-1107, Anacapa Division. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for petitioner: Harold K.

Artists collaborate on Neon Night Art Show

A collaboration by artists Chris Gocong and Rod Lathim has led to the Neon Night Art Show and Sale, set for Saturday.

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

The Neon Night Art Show and Sale will take place from 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday at Commen Unity, 223-B Anacapa St., in Santa Barbara’s Funk Zone. The show and exhibit is a collaboration featuring the artistic styles of Santa Barbara residents Chris Gocong and Rod Lathim. This collaboration combines their use of neon, light and matter to create nontraditional art pieces. This will be the first of a series of collaborations between two artists in Santa Barbara. Saturday’s event will feature DJShai, wine, beer and drinks and a free drawing for local gift cards, men’s haircuts and an art piece made by Chris Gocong. Everyone attending is asked to wear masks indoors. Mr. Gocong is a visual artist with a passion for capturing emotion through portraiture, figurative art and abstraction. His work is mainly inspired by the commonality of human emotion and consciousness, according to a news release. He came to find art as a creative outlet and meditative practice after retiring from a career in the NFL. “Our artistic collaboration has allowed me to remain true to my own style while artistically exploring and pushing boundaries. Neon is a medium

that gives me the brightest, pure colors not found in paint, not to mention it breaks out of the box into the third dimension. I believe the energy put into the execution of each piece is palpable to the viewer,” Mr. Gocong said in the news release. “It’s fitting that our show will be held at Commen Unity … a place meant to foster creativity and discourse within the community.” Mr. Lathim’s art is an exploration of sculptures with neon and found objects. He uses diverse pieces that speak to him with the addition of neon light, which brings them back to reincarnated life, according to the news release. The inspiration for his art came during the last weeks of life for his father, Reg Lathim. “Although I had very little knowledge of neon light, I was drawn to it — or more accurately led to it on a spiritual path,” Rod Lathim said. “Each work I create is one-of-a-kind. I use real, ‘old school’ neon (glass tubes that are pumped with various gasses — neon, argon and krypton) — and I use colors not traditionally seen in neon pieces. I enjoy creating pieces that evoke stories from viewers — or simply offer a taste of whimsy, color and light.” To view the artists’ work, go to www.saatchiart.com/chrisgocong and www.rodlathim.com. email: dmason@newspress.com
