Alisal Fire forces evacuations from forest to coast

Ordinance panel to consider wireless installation regulations By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A blaze firefighters are calling the Alisal Fire burned an estimated 2,000 acres by 9 p.m. Monday. It originated just north of Alisal Lake, west of Goleta, and made one mile leaps toward the ocean. (Acreage estimates may change this morning pending better visuals, according to Los Padres National Forest spokesperson Andrew Madsen.) As of press time, the fire was 0% contained, and 100 structures were threatened. Firefighters battled 40 mph winds and 60 mph gusts along with the flames. Crews are blocking off the fire using natural fuel breaks. Firefighters have breaks on three sides, Mr. Madsen said. If the fire extends into Goleta, it will hit the Sherpa Fire burn scar, he said. The vegetation will not provide adequate fuel for

the fire, and firefighters can attack there. The fire was initially spotted around 2 p.m. Initial estimates measured the fire at 50-100 acres with potential for much more. By 4 p.m., evacuations were ordered for an area covering more than 30 square miles — extending from the peak to the ocean. A portion of Highway 101 and the railroad closed after spot fires began to reach the highway around 5:30 p.m. The evacuation orders affected the areas of Refugio, Tajiguas, Arroyo Quemada and Arroyo Hondo by dinnertime. Later Monday evening, evacuations were extended to El Capitán Beach State Park and El Capitán Campground, with the order including the area east of the state park, west of Dos Pueblos Canyon Road and south of West Camino Cielo Road as of press time. The chaparral in the area was thick — an area that hasn’t burned for decades. Fire crews initially struggled to find a point of

attack in the thick brush. “Los Padres is probably one of the national forests with the fewest roads,” Mr. Madsen said. “So we can’t drive right up with our equipment to drop firefighters off and work the fire that way. Then of course with these gusts of wind up to 60 miles an hour, you’re not going to put firefighters in the front of that.” The Santa Barbara County Fire Department, Santa Barbara City Fire Department and the Montecito Fire Protection District sent assistance. Dos Pueblos High School in Goleta served as a temporary information site for evacuees. Livestock were transported to the Earl Warren Showgrounds in Santa Barbara. The temperature at the weather station nearest the fire measured 65 degrees and 30% humidity.

The emergence of 5G has brought more public attention to cell sites — devices some may desire to be nearby for increased connectivity while others despair for fear of radio waves. The Santa Barbara City Council Ordinance Committee may approve new regulations regarding the installation of small wireless facilities during its meeting today at 12:30 p.m. Small wireless facilities are often added to public property, like streetlights. Lately, neighbors have been voicing concerns to the City Council about the proposed additions. One resident appealed a city decision to approve the addition of a 4G facility in a neighborhood, concerned it would upset her garden. Others worry about cancer or other health risks from being exposed to radiofrequency fields. The World Health Organization does not expect public health consequences from exposure to 5G. International guidelines are to stay below radiofrequencies 300 GHz, no matter what generation the connectivity. “To date, and after much research performed, no adverse health effect has been causally linked with exposure to wireless technologies,” the WHO says on its website. The city’s Small Wireless Facilities Ordinance has been under review for months. City staff initially released a draft in December 2020. Resident input, meetings with wireless companies and a 42-page analysis from a law firm guided changes. The Federal Communications Commission prohibits cities from controlling wireless facilities on the basis of alleged health effects. Appeals must also avoid mention of health. The city of Santa Barbara may only rule on the time, place and manner (including aesthetics) of the antennas. The proposed ordinance sets preferred locations and

some speculate the cancelations could be a product of an employee protest of the policy. The Southwest Airlines Pilots Association says that is not true. “Our Pilots will continue to overcome SWA management’s poor planning, as well as any external operational challenges, and remain the most productive Pilots in the world,” the union said in a statement. “They will continue to be focused on their highest priority — safety.

Dr. Mark Whitehurst joined the Santa Barbara mayoral race on the last day to file campaign papers.

Dr. Mark Whitehurst believes a larger arts and culture presence would grow Santa Barbara. “We need to take the energy that we have in our community as an art and cultural destination, and put a promotion behind that — one that accents all of the fantastic things that we have, to bring together both locals and visitors, to build up our community,” the mayoral candidate told the News-Press on Monday.

SBA unaffected by Southwest Airlines difficulties Southwest Airlines canceled more than 2,000 flights over the weekend and into Monday, but the Santa Barbara Airport has not experienced the nationwide problem. Two Southwest flights were delayed because of mechanical issues rather than a carrier issue, an airport spokesperson told the News-Press. The airline has attributed the mass cancelations to “air-traffic control issues and disruptive weather,” but the challenge appears isolated to Southwest Airlines. Other major budget airlines canceled just 2% of flights

allows applicants to justify less convenient locations. Preferred places would avoid residential or historic neighborhoods, schools and hospitals and have a reduced aesthetic impact on the community. Installed devices must submit confirmation that they comply with federal radiofrequency law. The ordinance also specifies aesthetic standards so the device blends with the area. In one previous case, an antenna was disguised as a faux decorative light fixture to blend in with the streetlights on State Street. Additional provisions, such as fire standards and insurance are included. The Santa Barbara City Council will hear a proposal from the Library Department to transfer its integrated library system from Black Gold, a program the library pays to manage the files, to an independent program. The first-year cost is $50,530, and each additional year is $21,900. The migration is estimated to take six months. Library staff believe the change is integral to service improvements. The City Council will also begin the planning process for a solid waste disposal contract. The 10-year contract with MarBorg Industries expires June 7, 2023. Laws have changed since the last agreement, so the next contract will likely look different. Meetings are streamed live on City TV Channel 18.

Santa Barbara County reports 213 Winds expected COVID-19 cases over the weekend to diminish today By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Santa Barbara County reported a total of 213 new COVID-19 cases in the last three days. And on Monday, the county reported one death. The individual, who resided in Orcutt, was in the 70-plus age group and had underlying medical conditions. The death wasn’t associated with a congregate care site, according to the county Public Health Department. As of Monday, Santa Barbara County has seen a total of 509 deaths. The county now has a total of 43,080 confirmed COVID-19 cases. Of those, 386 cases remain infectious. Forty-three people are recovering in local hospitals. An additional 13 are in ICUs. On a more positive note on Monday, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office reported there are no longer any active COVID-19 cases at the Main Jail. Among the 90 infected inmates, 89 have been recovered, and one was released. “The Sheriff’s Office will continue to work closely with Santa Barbara County Public

The National Weather Service predicted the week would be sunny for the most part throughout Santa Barbara County.

NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

The wind blew in quickly Monday, bringing a sudden burst of morning chill to Santa Barbara’s usual Mediterranean climate and later contributing to the large fire north of Alisal Lake. The weather service said gusts were 30 to 55 mph, but noted winds would likely diminish this morning and that there would be a warming trend starting Thursday. On Monday, the National Weather Service reported highs of 79 in Santa Barbara and Goleta. But the wind kept blowing, and cold temperatures were expected Monday night after the News-Press went to press. Meanwhile, Santa Ynez saw a high of 72; Santa Maria, 68; Lompoc, 65; and New Cuyama, 62. The National Weather Service predicted the week would be sunny for the most part throughout Santa Barbara County. Partly cloudy skies are forecast for North County on Friday. The forecast for Santa Barbara calls for highs around the mid 70s through Thursday, then jumping to 83 on Friday and 82 on Saturday. Highs were expected to fall to 71 on Sunday and 67 on Monday, along with

partly cloudy skies on both days. Similar highs were predicted for UCSB. Highs for Santa Maria were forecast to 69 today, 71 on Wednesday, 76 on Thursday, then jump up to 84 on Friday and 81 on Saturday. Then the high is expected to fall back to 71 on Sunday and 69 on Monday, along with partly cloudy skies on both days. Santa Ynez is expected to see a high of 72 today, followed by 77 on Wednesday, 81 on Thursday, 87 on Friday and 86 on Saturday, then fall to 80 on Sunday (with partly cloudy skies) and 76 on Monday. Lompoc is forecast to have highs in the upper 60s and lower 70s through Thursday, then jump up to 81 on Friday and 77 on Saturday. The weather service said the highs would fall back to 70 and 67 on Sunday and Monday, respectively. email: dmason@newspress.com

Candidate wants to develop SB as ‘eco destination’ CANDIDATE

Council in 1984 intended for a commission to come from the committee, but one has yet to be formed. Dr. Whitehurst thinks it’s time for elected officials to move a commission forward and establish an arts and culture master plan. He boasts a list of endorsements for his candidacy on his website, including Larry J. Feinberg, Santa Barbara Museum of Art CEO and Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Director; Ruth Ellen Hoag, owner of GraySpace Art Studio, and Joan Rutkowski, board chair of Opera Santa Barbara. Dr. Whitehurst also sees potential in Santa Barbara’s status as an environmental hub. “Santa Barbara has all of the fundamental elements for being a world class eco destination,” he said, noting the many parks, open space and geological features. A focus on sustainability would sustain the ecological systems, he said. He sees economic opportunities alongside environmental resilience. A third campaign point is revitalization of a

clean and safe community. “We have 1,000 empty tree wells downtown. The streets are gummy,” he said. “You can go back as many years as you want. Nothing has been done about cleanliness.” He is also concerned about safety. He wishes for compassionate care for mentally ill homeless people and more solutions for the homeless. Ideas such as these are what motivated him to campaign. “The city needed a much larger agenda; it has been operating just minding the store. And from where I stood, it was my feeling that it needed to move beyond that,” he said. “And that the people that were running, no one in particular, were not the ones to do that. They didn’t really have any big ideas.” He describes “minding the store” as maintaining the city without taking on a large project. He filed his campaign forms on the last day, ready with goals. “I think most people were surprised. I have never run for office before, and I filed my papers the last day. And so there wasn’t anyone that was forewarned that I was even thinking about running,” Dr. Whitehurst said.

He is the publisher and editor of VOICE Magazine, which also publishes as CASA. “Publishing a weekly paper like VOICE and CASA Magazine is about community building. Everything that we write is about trying to encourage people either in their positions or in their programs, or in helping the community to develop programs. Publishing is a perfect way to be a philanthropist,” he said. Many enjoy the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, but he has sponsored it for years. He sponsors many other local events as well. Dr. Whitehurst serves on boards and has played his violin in Santa Barbara City College’s community orchestra. “Santa Barbara is a fabulous city with good bones, and it’s going to move forward quickly and in a very wonderful way. And I’m looking forward to being a part of that. And I appreciate the opportunity to run for mayor,” he said. The Santa Barbara city election is Nov. 2, but registered voters should have already received ballots in the mail.

The UCSB women’s soccer team (6-6-3, 4-1-1) continued its strong start to conference play, earning its second consecutive 2-0 win on Sunday evening over Cal State Bakersfield (1-10-2, 0-3-1). The Gauchos opened the scoring in the 15th minute, when a left wing cross from junior forward Elise Ziem found freshman midfielder Shaye Douglas near the penalty spot. The Corona native rose high above her defender and sent a perfectly

placed, looping header just inside the left post to beat Roadrunner goalkeeper Flavia Burrell. In the 78th minute, the Gauchos doubled their lead. A cross sent into the box from the right side led to a push in the back and a penalty for defender Emma Vanderhyden. The senior fired away with pace and precision, beating Burrell again to the left post even though she guessed right. With their second straight 2-0 shutout at UCSB Harder Stadium, the Gauchos have come away with four consecutive clean sheets. They have not allowed a goal over

Shatner to become oldest person in space By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Capt. Kirk is finally going into space — for real. On Wednesday, William Shatner, 90, will join his fellow astronauts for Blue Origin’s New Shepard NS-18 mission and become the oldest person to ever be in outer space. Originally scheduled for today, the mission was pushed up to Wednesday because of weather. The launch is set for 6:30 a.m. Pacific time from Launch Site One in western Texas. Mr. Shatner told reporters he was disappointed by the delay. He also admitted to being nervous about stepping into the final frontier for the 10-minute flight, but said he’s looking forward to seeing “the vastness of the universe.” The flight will go just beyond the Karman line, which is 62 miles high and marks the division of the atmosphere from outer space. Mr. Shatner and his three fellow astronauts will experience four minutes of weightlessness before returning to Earth. Mr. Shatner, who starred as Capt. Kirk in the original “Star Trek” series on NBC and Paramount’s first six “Trek” movies, is breaking the record for the oldest astronaut, set by Wally Funk, 82, who flew into space in July with Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos. On Wednesday, Mr. Shatner will join three other crew members on his trip into space: Audrey Powers, Blue Origin’s vice president of mission and flight operations; Chris Boshuizen, cofounder of Planet Labs (today known as Planet); and Glen de Vries, co-founder of Medidata Solutions, a software company. While he will become the only “Star Trek” actor to actually be in outer space, Mr. Shatner isn’t the first to have a real-life connection

CONLEY, Philip J., Major General

A native of West Warwick, Rhode Island, Phil was born on May 22, 1927, to Philip J. Conley and Lillian L. Burns. In his youth, he was active in Boy Scouts and earned the rank of Eagle Scout. Following attendance at La Salle Academy and Providence College, he was appointed to the United States Naval Academy, graduated in 1950, and was offered a commission in the newly formed (1947) United States Air Force. During the Korean War, he Áew 100 combat missions as a forward air controller, serving with the Army’s I Corps and the 1st British Commonwealth Division. He then earned an advanced degree in aeronautical engineering at the University of Michigan. While living in Ann Arbor, he met Shirley Andrews and they were married in 1956. During his Air Force career, Phil Áew over 4,200 hours in 86 different aircraft types, including the F-15, F-16, B-52 and B-1. His many assignments included service in the Vietnam War and as Chief of Staff of Air Force Systems Command. A highlight of Phil’s career began in 1978, as commander of the Air Force Flight Test Center at Edwards AFB, CA. While there, Phil was responsible for over 400 test projects affecting the US national defense posture. Major Áight test programs included the B-1, F-16, F-15, A-10 and F-117, and many of these planes remain primary combat aircraft in the Air Force today. Additionally, he was the Center commander for the Àrst space shuttle landing on Edwards’ dry lake bed, and on July 4, 1982 he hosted President Reagan’s visit to view the Àrst shuttle landing on a conventional runway. Following Phil’s retirement in 1983, Phil and Shirley moved to Santa Barbara where Shirley had graduated from UCSB. Phil’s Catholic faith was very important to him throughout his life. Phil and Shirley were active members of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church, Montecito, for more than 30 years. Phil served on several non-proÀt boards including the Pierre Claeyssens Veterans Foundation, the Flight Test Historical Society, and the American Irish Historical Society. In 2007, Phil was inducted into the Rhode Island Aviation Hall of Fame. Throughout retirement, he travelled frequently to his family home in Rhode Island and to Ireland where, while tracing his family heritage there, he made many friends and felt very much at home. Phil’s Navy roots never left him. He rarely missed an annual Navy football game in Annapolis, MD. Phil and Shirley belonged to the Montecito Country Club and the Santa Barbara Yacht Club, and they supported many local organizations, including the Santa Barbara Zoo, Botanic Garden, and Natural History Museum. They regularly attended Àtness classes together at the Montecito YMCA for over two decades. Phil was preceded in death by Shirley, his loving wife of 64 years, in 2020, and by his sister, Helen Wray. He will be greatly missed by his children, Sharon Conley (Bill Sener), of Santa Barbara; Kathleen Conley, of Arlington, Virginia; Anne Pellegrini (Steve), of Newport Beach; and James Conley (Elsa), of Saratoga; and his grandchildren, extended family, and friends. His family would like to express their deep appreciation to Dr. Dennis Baker, Heritage House Assisted Living, and Assisted Hospice Care for the exceptional care he received. A funeral Mass will be held at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church, Montecito, at 10 AM on October 16 with subsequent services and interment in West Warwick, Rhode Island. The Mass will be live-streamed at https://bit. ly/MajGenPhilipConleyJrFuneral for those unable to attend in person. Arrangements by McDermott-Crockett Mortuary in Santa Barbara.

ans didn’t want it to end. “One more song!” audience members yelled after Foreigner finished performing Saturday night at the Santa Barbara Bowl. But after having played energetically for a couple hours, the band left the stage, and the lights came up above the smiling faces of an enthusiastic audience who stood and danced at their seats during a concert full of hard rock fever. The concert began with the ethereal “Double Vision” and ended with perennial favorites “I Want to Know What Love Is,” complete with fans standing and waving the lights on their smartphones, and “Hot Blooded,” still a powerful rock anthem 53 years after it was written. Kelly Hansen, who succeeded original lead vocalist Lou Gramm in 2005, captured the intensity of Mr. Gramm’s voice. And guitarists Bruce Watson and Luis Maldonado joined the only remaining original member, guitarist and co-founder Mick Jones, in recreating the legendary sound that defined Foreigner from its start in 1976.

‘No Time to Die’ takes its time to create a powerful story

Bond film falls short of box office expectations By DAVE MASON

NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

James Bond left the box office shaken, not stirred, last weekend. As expected, “No Time To Die,” Daniel Craig’s final outing as 007, topped its first weekend at the domestic box office. You can call that the shaking portion. But here’s where it didn’t stir things up: It fell short of expectations by debuting at $56 million, according to national reports. Predictions had called for “No Time to Die” to make $60 million to $70 million. The $56 million figure puts it below Mr. Craig’s last turn at Bond, “Spectre” (2015) at $70 million and “Skyfall” (2012), which celebrated the 50th anniversary of the James Bond franchise with the highest grossing opening weekend for any Bond movie. Last weekend’s decline could

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

It’s too bad Daniel Craig is hanging up his tux as James Bond. He has never captured 007 as well as he has in “No Time to Die,” his final outing, which opened last weekend. The movie takes some breaks from the usual Bond franchise’s urge for fast action and takes its time to show the character’s complexity and courage. It does it in a way that hasn’t been done since the era of Sean Connery, who, in the opinion of this writer and many other fans, will always be the best Bond. There are some plot spoilers ahead, but nothing too major. This time around, James is retired and living in Jamaica when he’s called back into action to stop some villainy, which ultimately is traced to Lyutsifer Safin (Rami Malek). Along the way, Bond reunites with former love Madeleine (Lea Seydoux) and meets Nomi (Lashan Lynch), the 007 who replaced him at MI-6. Back for the action are the talented and coherent team of M (Ralph Fiennes), Q (Ben Whishaw) and Moneypenney (Naomie Harris). It wouldn’t be a fitting conclusion to Mr. Craig’s run as 007 without Blofeld and CIA agent Felix Leiter, played by Christoph Waltz and Jeffrey Wright respectively. Mr. Waltz also played Blofeld, the head of Spectre, in the 2015 film called — what else? — “Spectre.” “No Time To Die” throws in a few more Bond gadgets, adds the world’s-in-danger stakes and creates plenty of plot twists and turns. None of the major surprises will be spoiled here, but this is one film James Bond enthusiasts shouldn’t miss. And Mr. Craig seems more comfortable than ever in the role. The film slows down enough to allow him poignant dialogue and some of the classic 007 puns. It’s not spoiling too much to say — after all, it was in the trailers — there’s an appearance by the classic Aston Martin, complete with all its gadgets. Ultimately “No Time To Define” succeeds in showing

be a sign of how movie viewing has changed, thanks to the pandemic. More and more people are watching all their movies at home, where content is plentiful on streaming services and viewing habits were cemented during the pandemic-caused lockdowns. Still, “No Time to Die” was No. 1. Others in the top five were: 2. “Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” the Marvel Studios sequel that grossed $32 million. 3. “Addams Family 2,” the animated sequel about the frighteningly funny family, $10 million. 4. Marvel Studios’ “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” $4.2 million. 5. “The Many Saints of Newark,” the “Sopranos” prequel, $1.4 million. email: dmason@newspress.com

more of Bond’s compassion and his determination to do the right thing and save the world. This writer felt Mr. Craig’s portrayal of Bond began to improve with “Skyfall,” which excelled in storytelling. “Spectre” was a step down in storytelling, with its best, most exciting scenes strangely being placed at the beginning of the movie. But “No Time to Die” brings the storytelling quality back to the level of “Skyfall.” And “No Time To Die” succeeds because the writers allowed Bond time to live.

Slowing things down actually can accelerate a character’s development. That’s the case here. And director Cary Joji Fukunaga and his fellow writers Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and Phoebe Waller-Bridge are to be commended for putting the story first. The action is integral to the plot and never a distraction. While this is Mr. Craig’s final outing as Bond, the franchise will continue with another actor in author Ian Fleming’s iconic role.

the test of time. The band sang everything from “Blue Morning Blue Day” to “Feels Like the First Time” and its powerful ballad, “Waiting For A Girl Like You.” Foreigner poured power into one of its best hits, “Cold as Ice.” Everyone on stage and in the audience had fun, and Mr. Hansen, who served as emcee in his role as lead singer, set the tone from the start. “Santa Barbara is beautiful,” he told the crowd, looking around the bowl. “I want to buy that house!” Mr. Hansen joked between songs and later gave a heartwarming speech that led into “I Want to Know What Love Is,” during which

18-year run writing Spider-Man stories, a nine-year run writing Avengers stories and a 100-issue run in the X-Men Franchise. He also has written comics such as Iron Man and Guardians of the Galaxy. He also was involved in event projects such as “Avengers Versus X-Men” and “Civil War 2.” Mr. Bendis also served as a consultant on TV and movie

projects, including Marvel Cinematic Universe films starting with the first “Iron Man” movie (2008). He won a Peabody for his work as the co-creator of Netflix’s “Jessica Jones.” More details, such as the time of Mr. Bendis’ signing, will appear later in the News-Press.

Mr. Jones played the keyboard. Foreigner didn’t bring an orchestra as originally planned, but that was OK. The concert was fine without that layer, and Mr. Hansen, the guitarists and bass player Jeff Pilson had freedom to roam around the large stage and interact with each other. A highlight was Mr. Jones jamming with Mr. Watson and Mr. Maldonado. Although he did some backing vocals, Mr. Jones focused on his guitar playing, sometimes closing his eyes and smiling as he felt the music. He didn’t speak to the audience, but left the songs he co-wrote with Mr. Gramm do the talking. During his enthusiastic round of introducing the band, Mr. Hansen graciously made a point of stressing Mr. Jones’ importance in

the world of rock ‘n’ roll. The night was a tribute to Foreigner’s timeless music, but there was also a sense of lighthearted fun. When most of the band members took a short break halfway through the concert, the music kept going, with solos by keyboardist Michael Bluestein and drummer Chris Frazier. The audience clapped along with Mr. Frazier, who ended his solo with a big smile. Later, in-between songs, bandmates threw drum sticks to each other. The youthful energy of the longtime band prevailed from start to finish. No wonder Foreigner remains a powerful force in rock ’n’ roll.

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.

ARIES — Family members might have too much on their minds today and ask you for more help than you’re prepared to give. Make sure you stay calm and focused so you can decide which difficulties are most urgent and need to be handled first. Don’t be afraid to tell others your decision. When possible, give advice rather than help. Sometimes that’s all people really need. TAURUS — Today you might spend time helping a sibling or neighbor prepare for a trip. Or more than one person could ask you for advice on business matters, legal papers, investments, homework, or other intellectual concerns. Try not to spread yourself too thin or you won’t be much use to anybody, least of all you. If it doesn’t all get done today, there’s always tomorrow. GEMINI — Someone may approach you talking about investments. This person may make whatever he’s pushing sound like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Remember the adage, “If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is!” If you’re interested in what this person has to say, wait a few days and then check with an unbiased source. It always pays to be cautious! CANCER — Today you may feel like you’re brimming over with physical energy. You have a lot of energy, but it isn’t a good idea to go climbing mountains, running marathons, or swimming long distances right now. If you don’t pace yourself, you could be exhausted by midafternoon. You may be temporarily operating on nervous energy and limited stamina. LEO — Responsibilities may be weighing on your mind today. Perhaps you’ve promised someone help but don’t have the time and energy to come through right now. Don’t be afraid to tell the person. Between the two of you, you can work something out that creates a win/win situation so your friend gets the needed help and you don’t tire yourself out. A little ingenuity is all it takes! VIRGO — A tremendous burst of creative energy regarding a cherished project could hit today. Inspiration could strike, and you’ll want to turn as much of that into physical reality as possible. Don’t be disappointed if your insights are exhausted quickly and you hit a roadblock. Don’t try16, to force Monday, November 2015it. Stop working for now and take it

HOROSCOPE up later. The inspiration will come again! LIBRA — Today you could be in the public eye in some way. Perhaps you’re teaching a class, giving a lecture, or leading a discussion group. Whatever it is, don’t be surprised if you alternate between inspired and free-flowing articulation and total mental block. When the latter happens, ask for questions. That’ll give them a chance to speak and get your brain going again. SCORPIO — Too many errands to run? Too many calls to make? Don’t be surprised if you feel like you’re running in circles. You might be trying to juggle career concerns while making plans for a journey of some kind. Take time to relax. Go to a movie and forget everything for a while. It isn’t worth making yourself crazy. SAGITTARIUS — Unexpected expenses, perhaps for house repairs, might require some budgetary juggling. You might have to rob Peter to pay Paul. This will probably offend your practicality, but it’s only temporary. With your sound financial sense, you’ll be able to balance your budget again soon. Your diet over the next few days may include a lot of peanut butter sandwiches. CAPRICORN — Surliness on the part of a partner could catapult you into a gloomy mood. Your friend isn’t communicating very well, and you probably wonder if it’s something you said or did. Chances are it’s not. All signs indicate that it’s business. Don’t try to force your partner to share these concerns with you, as this will only cause further retreat. Your friend will talk when the time’s right. AQUARIUS — Too much partying could have you feeling a little under the weather. The food and drink may have been great, but today you’d better eat plain but nourishing food. You may not be inclined to exercise, but a brisk walk or yoga class might be just what you need. It will also clear your head. You should be yourself again by midafternoon. PISCES — Friends and lovers alike may take unfair advantage of your good nature. Some may want you to do them favors. Others might want to use you as a sounding board for their problems. You won’t want to turn them away. If you can’t avoid them, you should learn to say, “I’ll help you later!” You can only be in one place at a time, and there are only 24 hours in a day.

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.

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.
