A latent print analyst with the California Department of Justice testified Monday, day three of the trial of Pierre Haobsh, that he identified the suspect’s fingerprints on the plastic covering the bodies of victims Dr. Weidong “Henry” Han, 57; wife, Huijie “Jenni” Yu, 29; and 5-year-old daughter, Emily Han. The fingerprints and palm prints were found in the interior and exterior of the plastic.

“Which to me, doing the processing, was significant,” latent print analyst Corey Schroeder said.

Dr. Han and his family were found March 23, 2016, wrapped in plastic wrap in the garage of their home in the 4600 block of Greenhill Way near Goleta.

Mr. Haobsh faces three charges of murder in the first degree with enhancements of murder for financial gain, multiple counts of murder and commission of felony.

Judge Brian Hill of the Santa Barbara County Superior Court presides over the bench trial. Mr. Haobsh previously waived his right to a trial by jury.

Mr. Schroeder testified that he found fingerprints later identified as Mr. Haobsh’s in other areas as well, such as a bathroom door and two bags found in an office trash can.

The prints collected included what he labels “level-one,” “level-two” and “level-three” details — meaning they can positively identify or exclude a suspect.

Dr. Henning Ansorg, the Santa Barbara County public health officer, says he doesn’t know when the indoor mask mandate will end.

“It’s very clear that the vaccination alone is not enough,” Dr. Ansorg told the News-Press.

“We’ve seen that in England, where there’s a good vaccination percentage when they dropped the mask mandate.”

Dr. Ansorg said masks are especially important in protecting the most vulnerable segments of the population.

He said breakthrough COVID19 cases have been seen in the 65-and-older population that is vaccinated.

“When we age, our immune system is not as strong as a 20year-old’s,” Dr. Ansorg said. “After vaccination, we don’t get such a good response as a young person.

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Here are the numbers for COVID-19 cases, starting with Monday and going back to Sunday and Saturday.

MONDAY Santa Barbara County reported 30 new COVID-19 cases and one death Monday.

The individual lived in the South Coast unincorporated areas.

The 30 cases Monday included four in Santa Maria.

Elsewhere, there were five cases in unincorporated Goleta Valley and Gaviota, and five cases were in Lompoc and nearby Mission Hills and Vandenberg Village.

Six cases were in the North County areas that include Sisquoc, Casmalia, Garey, Cuyama, New Cuyama and Guadalupe.

Four cases were reported in the Santa Ynez Valley.

Santa Barbara County now has a total of 44,209 cases, of which 291 are still infectious. The total number of deaths is 524.

neighboring unincorporated Mission Canyon saw 12 cases.

Four cases were reported in unincorporated Goleta Valley and Gaviota, and another four were seen in the Santa Ynez Valley.

COVID-19 vaccine mandates oust police officers nationwide “To date, dozens of troopers have already submitted their resignation paperwork, some of whom plan to return to other departments offering reasonable alternatives such as mask wearing and regular testing,” SPAM said.

Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis has capitalized politically on the issue, publicly calling on ousted officers from around the nation to move to Florida.

“NYPD, Minneapolis, Seattle, if you’re not being treated well, we’ll treat you better here: you fill important needs for us, and we’ll compensate you as a result,” Gov. DeSantis told Fox News.

Mandates combined with growing friction between police and local governments over “defund the police” movements and other anti-police sentiments already had officers on edge.

Now, many police groups have pushed back against the vaccine mandates, but have failed to sway several of the nation’s larger municipalities.

“The mandate-first, last, and only approach for law enforcement belies the public trust imbued on officers to make difficult, sometimes life and death decisions every day,” said Jason Johnson, president of the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund. “They are asked to quickly assess complex situations, apply their discretion, and act

Continued from Page A1 identification.

“Not only am I confident,” he said. “I am confident that if you got another latent print examiner to review my work, they’d come up with the same examination.”

He only compared the prints to one suspect: Mr. Haobsh.

The prosecution called Sgt. Jeff McDonald of the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office Monday afternoon as a witness. Sgt. McDonald interviewed Thomas “TJ” Derida, who served as a witness earlier in the trial, and Mr. Haobsh separately on March 25, 2016.

The prosecution played the first hour and a half of a four-hour-long interview with Mr. Haobsh. The interview gives perspective into his connection with Dr. Han and the possible timeline.

(Mr. Haobsh requested the interview with Sgt. McDonald after talking with detectives earlier that day.)

During the March 25, 2016 interview, Sgt. McDonald maintains a relaxed tone and asks questions, like “what do you like to do on work

trips?”

Mr. Haobsh answers each question.

During the interview, Mr. Haobsh said he views Dr. Han as a father figure. The two had done business with each other, and Mr. Haobsh, a resident of Oceanside, often stayed in the Han family home while he was in town.

He said that when he was struggling financially, Dr. Han put him on payroll without asking for favors. Emily was encouraged to call him “Uncle Pierre.”

Mr. Haobsh was working on CBD projects for Dr. Han, owner of the Santa Barbara Herb Clinic. But he was excited about some energy technology he invented, he said.

Sgt. McDonald asked him what he thinks may have protected the Han family.

“Just not getting involved in this whole situation,” Mr. Haobsh said.

“What situation?” asked Sgt. McDonald.

“This whole energy thing,” Mr. Haobsh said.

Sgt. McDonald asked Mr. Haobsh about his definition of a monster.

Mr. Derida had earlier told Sgt. McDonald that Mr. Haobsh said he felt like a “monster.”

Mr. Derida also testified to this in court last week.

But Mr. Haobsh told Sgt. McDonald that he

was not a monster.

“A monster would be somebody who’s really very selfish. . . affects a lot of lives in the process of doing things in their own interest,” he said.

“This whole situation — I don’t think there’s anything worse than that,” Mr. Haobsh said. “I don’t know of anything worse a person can do.”

He later said a monster would “prevent this kind of technology from getting out,” referencing his invention.

When he was arrested in San Diego, he had picked up clothing from his residence at his father’s house.

He told Sgt. McDonald that he planned to move to Las Vegas and live in a casino. He claimed to be good at counting cards.

The death penalty was originally sought in the case, but the Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office dropped the bid earlier this year.

Mr. Haobsh is represented by public defenders Christine Voss and Michael Hanley.

Benjamin Ladinig and Hilary Dozer are prosecuting the case.

The trial will resume Thursday morning. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

‘We’re ramping up to do the boosters’ COVID

Continued from Page A1 For a lot of the elderly people who got vaccinated in January or February, six months later, the antibody count goes down. That’s why we’re seeing breakthrough cases.”

Factors such as the delta variant have made indoor masks necessary even for vaccinated individuals, Dr. Ansorg said.

Dr. Lynn Fitzgibbons, chair of the Cottage Health infectious diseases division, agreed that indoor masks “are critically important.

“I know they reduce transmission,” she said.

Meanwhile, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has spelled out who’s eligible for booster shots.

People who received PfizerBioNTech or Moderna booster shots are eligible for booster shots if they’re 65 and older, are 18 and older in congregate care or are 18 and older and have underlying medical conditions. Anyone 18 and older who works or lives in high-risk settings can get booster shots as well.

Boosters are available for Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen if people are 18 and older. People must wait at least two months.

Dr. Charles Fenzi, CEO and chief medical officer of the Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics, elaborated further.

“We’re ramping up to do the boosters for those who deserve it,” he said, referring to the older population, people with immune deficiencies or those who face exposure because of their work environment.

MONTECITO — A water line rupture was reported Monday night at the Montecito Club.

The rupture in the city of Santa Barbara water line, which runs through club property, caused a water shut off at the club at 7 p.m., according to an email from the club.

The Montecito Club said the city would work throughout the night and that the club

nationally,” she said. “What we know is that vaccine protection wanes and boosters are beneficial.”

When asked if there’s a light at the end of the pandemic tunnel, Dr. Ansorg said, “If the virus keeps changing, if it keeps evading the immune system, if we continue to have such a high percentage of people not getting vaccinated, then I don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel.

“We will have to learn to live with it, like we live with other viruses such as shingles, herpes or hepatitis,” Dr. Ansorg said.

“Hopefully we will get more potent medications to treat people who fall ill with COVID. I don’t anticipate us getting out of the pandemic in the near future, unfortunately.” email: dmason@newspress.com

expected water would be back on by 9 this morning. The club said it expected to be open for its normal operations at 9 a.m. unless the city advises it otherwise.

“In 2020, there were an estimated 1,277,696 violent crimes,” the FBI said. “When compared with the estimates from 2019, the estimated number of robbery offenses fell 9.3 percent and the estimated volume of rape (revised definition) offenses decreased 12.0 percent. The estimated number of aggravated assault offenses rose 12.1 percent, and the volume of murder and nonnegligent manslaughter offenses increased 29.4 percent.”

Last weekend, Chicago saw a 220% increase in downtown shootings, raising more concerns about the need for police.

“Teachers, folks working in the retail industry who come into contact with the public, grocery workers, etc. Certainly healthcare workers.”

Dr. Fenzi added he wouldn’t be surprised if boosters aren’t eventually just given to everyone who has received a COVID-19 vaccine.

Dr. Ansorg stressed the importance of boosters for the 65-and-older population. “That’s generally where the immune response wades. It’s important for those people to get the boosters to get through the winter season, to increase the power of the immune system to fight against the virus.”

Dr. Fitzgibbons of Cottage Health agreed that boosters are necessary.

“Going into winter, we need to keep an eye on it locally and

decisively and fairly — to uphold the law and protect the public.

The men and women who put their lives on the line for others and take on this immense responsibility are now being told their leaders’ have no faith in their judgement.”

Meanwhile, the nation saw a spike in violent crime last year, according to FBI data released in September.

Homicides rose nearly 30% in 2020, and aggravated assaults increased by more than 12%.

That marked the first time in four years violent crime rose from the previous year.

There were roughly 21,500 reported murders in 2020, the highest figure in decades.

CALIFORNIA

(The Center Square) – COVID19 vaccine mandates have sparked nationwide controversy and led to firings and resignations around the country.

Police officers have been hit hard by the requirements, and their exodus may leave many cities understaffed even on the heels of a spike in violent crime.

In New York City, officers passed the mayor’s deadline for vaccination Friday. The city announced that there are 26,000 unvaccinated municipal workers, including 17% of police officers. Those who refused to comply were to be placed on unpaid leave this week.

But New York City is far from the only local government to take that route. Several municipalities have instituted vaccine mandates for police officers only to see a significant drop-off in staffing.

Chicago, Minneapolis, Los Angeles and Seattle police departments have all grappled over this issue as well. In some

September challenging the state’s vaccine mandate, forcing many law enforcement officers out.

“The State Police are already critically short staffed and acknowledged this by the unprecedented moves which took troopers from specialty units that investigate homicides, terrorism, computer crimes, arsons, gangs, narcotics, and human trafficking, and returned them to uniformed patrol,” the association said in the statement.

The Seattle Police Department lost a few officers and has many more waiting to see if they can receive an exemption to the mandate.

“As of midnight, all but six Seattle Police Department employees have submitted their COVID-19 vaccination forms or are involved in an accommodation process, per city mandate,” SPD said in mid-October. “For those six employees, the separation process has begun. Meanwhile, 103 sworn and civilian SPD employees submitted requests for either a medical or religious exemption.

While away from work, those employees will be using their own accrued time balances. The decision on when and whether they will be allowed to return to work will be determined in the coming weeks.”

Many of the officers leaving departments plan to head to more flexible employers.

areas, like Denver, data suggest that many officers who fought the mandate were in the end unwilling to resign over it. However, in other areas, police departments around the country have lost many officers due to the mandate.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva grabbed headlines earlier this month after announcing he would not enforce the vaccine mandate on his staff, putting local leaders in a tough position. Last week, he called the mandate an “imminent threat to public safety.”

“The Board’s vaccination mandate is causing a mass exodus within the department, which is an absolutely absurd result,” Sheriff Villaneuva said. “I have repeatedly stated the dangers to public safety when 20%-30% of my workforce is no longer available to provide service, and those dangers are quickly becoming a reality. We are experiencing an increase in unscheduled retirements, worker compensation claims, employees quitting, and a reduction in qualified applicants.

As a result, homicide rates will continue to rise, response times will increase, solve rates will diminish, arrests will decline, patrol services will significantly decline, and patrol stations will close.”

Elections nationwide may offer insight on changing political landscape

By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE SENIOR REPORTER

(The Center Square) — States and municipalities around the country today will host their first general elections since President Donald Trump left office, testing the new political landscape after Mr. Trump’s exit and possibly setting up a referendum on the Democratic White House and Congress.

Democrats have been steadily declining in the polls this year.

The beginning of November saw President Joe Biden hit his lowest approval rating since taking office, an ill-timed marker for Democrats hoping to win new voters.

FiveThirtyEight, a wellrespected national pollster, conducts an ongoing analysis of a collection of national polls. The group reported that President Biden’s approval has remained just above 43% for more than a

“Our third-quarter survey for CNBC finds the American public in dark days: President Biden’s approval ratings are down, worries about the economy are rising, and inflation is making life difficult.”

Hart Research Associates week.

Mr. Biden fell below 50% approval in August, and his current disapproval rating is at about 51%.

The Real Clear Politics polling average has President Biden at 42.6% approval and 51.9% disapproval.

Congress fares even worse, at least in part due to Democrats disappointed about the delay in passing the bipartisan infrastructure bill. A Gallup poll released last week reported that Congress’ approval also hit a new low for 2021, down to 21% in October.

“While still better than the 15% approval rating at the end of the

divided 116th Congress in December, today’s reading is well below this year’s high point of 36%,” Gallup said.

“That was measured after Congress passed the latest COVID-19 economic relief package, known as the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.”

An NBC News poll released Monday grabbed headlines nationwide. The poll reports that 71% of Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, with 54% disapproving of Biden, an increase from 39% disapproval in April.

“Our third-quarter survey for

CNBC finds the American public in dark days: President Biden’s approval ratings are down, worries about the economy are rising, and inflation is making life difficult,” said Hart Research Associates, one group that helped conduct the poll.

Those numbers can trickle down to local races, motivating Republicans and Independents to rebuff Democratic control and depressing enthusiasm among Democratic voters who spent the last four years determined to stop Mr. Trump.

Democrat-led Virginia may be foremost among those state elections. Democratic

candidate and former governor Terry McAuliffe is in a statistical tie and is even behind in some polls against Republican challenger Glenn Youngkin.

New Jersey also has a gubernatorial election, though it is expected to remain blue.

However, flipping states like Virginia and closing the gap in reliably blue areas could embolden Republicans heading into the midterm elections next year.

Republican wins could also let the air out of Biden’s agenda as he struggles to pass an additional several trillion dollars in federal spending.

A key point Republicans have hammered and will likely continue to emphasize into the new year is inflation.

Recent federal inflation data show the fastest rising inflation rate recorded in 30 years. Some goods, like used cars and gasoline, have seen their prices skyrocket.

Inflation, joblessness and worries over federal spending all raise concerns over the economy, an issue Republicans are eager to talk about.

In the same NBC News poll, the surveyed voters favored Republicans’ handling of the economy by 18 points and on inflation by 24 points.

Mr. Youngkin has emphasized inflation and the rising cost of goods and services that come along with it in campaign advertising.

Supreme Court hears arguments in abortion cases

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments Monday in two cases revolving around a Texas law that bans most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy.

One case was brought by the Justice Department, and the other was by abortion providers in Texas.

The law permits private citizens, instead of state officials, to enforce the law through suits filed in state court. Critics contend that would insulate the cases from federal review.

During the almost three hours of arguments, liberal and conservative justices expressed concern for the impact on constitutional rights under that kind of enforcement.

Justice Amy Coney Barret asked whether “the constitutional defense can be fully aired” if a

Justice Elena Kagan said the law prevents “every woman in Texas from exercising a constitutional right as declared by the court.” She was referring to Roe v. Wade.

TRAFFIC, CRIME AND FIRE BLOTTER Arrest made after men injured SANTA BARBARA — An arrest was made after two men with injuries were brought into Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital on Saturday night.

Around 10:20 p.m. Saturday, the Santa Barbara Police Combined Communications Center received a report from Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital staff regarding two injured subjects who were brought into the emergency room within minutes of each other.

Police spokesman Sgt. Ethan Ragsdale said one man sustained a stab wound and that another man sustained a gunshot wound.

Officers immediately responded to the hospital to begin an investigation.

While officers were at the hospital, dispatchers received a report from a resident in the 500 block of North Nopal Street regarding an altercation and possible shooting in the area.

Additional officers responded to the area and located blood evidence, evidence related to a shooting, and a knife in the street, Sgt. Ragsdale said in a news release on Monday.

Based on witness statements, it appeared a verbal altercation occurred in the street between people in a group, Sgt. Ragsdale said. The altercation escalated when one person allegedly produced a handgun and started pointing it at close range toward several individuals in the group.

In response, one subject reportedly produced a knife and stabbed the gun-wielding suspect.

Simultaneously, the suspect with the gun allegedly fired at the subject that had just stabbed him, striking a lower extremity.

All involved fled the area after the shooting occurred.

The alleged shooter, Felipe Mercado, a 34-year-old Goleta resident, was arrested after receiving medical care at the hospital. He is being charged with attempted homicide (a felony), aggravated assault with a deadly weapon (a felony) and use of a firearm while committing a felony (a felony). His bail is currently set

at $1 million.

This case is currently under investigation by Santa Barbara Police Detectives. No other information is available, Sgt. Ragsdale said. He added that the motive for the crime is still being investigated.

Vague post leads to investigation GOLETA — The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office determined a vague but troubling social media post from an anonymous account did not constitute a threat.

The determination was made after the post prompted school administrators to request an investigation.

On Thursday, School Resource Deputy Hedricks was contacted by the Santa Barbara Unified School District regarding an Instagram post that was causing concern.

The post was from a newly created account with very few posts and did not include a real name. The post, which didn’t carry any images, read, “Don’t go to school tomorrow.”

The post led to concern among parents, students and staff who interpreted the post to be a threat. Deputy Hedricks was shown a screenshot of the post and in collaboration with school administrators, began speaking with students to track down the account creator, according to Public Information Officer Raquel Zick.

In under an hour, Deputy Hedricks was able to determine that the post was not a threat and there was no need to halt school activities.

The creator of the account was found to be a juvenile in Ventura County. SRD Hedricks worked with the school that the juvenile attends to ensure that the juvenile understood the great concern that the post had caused. This incident was documented by Deputy Hedricks as an incident reportonly, Ms. Zick said there will be no request for juvenile court intervention.

Westmont clinches GSAC Tournament berth

By JACOB NORLING WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

ROCKLIN — On the last day of the regular season, Westmont (5-7-1, 3-4-1) was finally able to punch its ticket into postseason play.

After defeating William Jessup (1-14, 0-8) by a score of 7-1, the Warriors men’s soccer team on Saturday officially clinched the sixth and final spot in the Golden State Athletic Conference Tournament.

And next Saturday, the Warriors will travel to Atherton to take on the three-seeded Menlo Oaks in the GSAC Tournament quarterfinals.

“To be able to fight our way back to the postseason is significant,” said Westmont head coach Dave Wolf. “I know on paper we haven’t had the most impressive season, but as a group we’ve been through a lot. To be able to persevere and get back to the tournament is definitely noteworthy.”

In the third minute, the Warriors were immediately faced with adversity, as has been the case early on in games all season. After a foul was called inside the Westmont box, Jessup was awarded a penalty kick before the chairs were warm, and Luis Castillo chipped a shot to the back of the net for an immediate 1-0 advantage.

In the 15th minute, however, Westmont took the first step in ensuring this narrative would not end their season. Zach Godeck sent a longball 40 yards downfield to Landon Amaral at the edge of the 18-yard box. Amaral onetouched a pass in the air to Spencer Crithfield, who was a few yards closer to the center of the box.

With a single touch, Crithfield floated a ball inside the upper-right post, freezing Jessup keeper Alejandro Pantoja to tie things up.

“After conceding a penalty two minutes in,”

began Wolf, “that was a critical moment to be able to put it behind us quickly. Arguably, that was the most crucial moment of the game.

With how often we’ve played from behind this season, being able to quickly knot things up allowed us to take a breath and play soccer.”

The road-Warriors did not stop there, as five minutes later the club once again found the back of the net. This time it was Samuel Tuscano rolling a free kick from 15 yards out into the six-yard box, with Kevin Smith Jr. flicking it past Pantoja to give the Westmont Warriors a 2-1 advantage.

For the senior Smith, it was the first goal of his collegiate career.

In the 51st minute, Westmont got some breathing room when Jackson Wolf, Coach Wolf’s youngest son, scored his first collegiate goal.

Playing on the back-side of the six during a Westmont corner kick, the freshman Wolf saw the ball hop all the way past the Jessup defense and directly in front of him. Wolf then struck the ball with his left-foot while it was even with his waist, and watched it soar into the back of the net for the club’s third goal of the afternoon.

“That was a critical moment in the game,” noted Wolf. “With a one-goal lead, anything can happen. To get some breathing room meant we could play with more confidence and attack the box more, which we did. For a lot of reasons, that was a really cool moment.”

“I said to him in front of the guys after the game, ‘It isn’t easy playing for your old man.’

Jackson has handled that very well this year, and I was really proud of him, not just as his coach but as his old man.”

The club kept on cruising in the 60th and 63rd minute, when Crithfield scored his second and third goals of the match. In the

60th minute, Crithfield finished from inside the back of the six-yard box with one touch after Donovan Howat served a pass from the far side of the field.

Three minutes later, Crithfield did it again when Tuscano found the freshman open on the far-side of the six-yard box. Again, Crithfield got the job done with a single touch.

“All Spencer needs is a single touch,” said Wolf. “There are a lot of players that could learn a lot from how Spencer Crithfield handles himself in the box. He doesn’t have to bring it down, he doesn’t have to get around anybody. If he gets a look, he’s putting it on frame.”

In the 74th minute, Braeden Pryor joined the party when he finished a loose ball inside the six-yard box for his third goal of his sophomore campaign. Then, in the 82nd minute, Aldo Becerril let one fly from 20 yards out, and bent a high-arching shot past the keeper for the club’s seventh goal of the match.

Eight minutes later, the club officially punched their ticket to the postseason.

When the Warriors take the field against the Oaks next Saturday, only nine days will have passed after the last time the two clubs met. When the two played on Thursday, Menlo defeated Westmont 1-0.

“We love that we have the opportunity to go back there,” said Wolf. “We were decent when we played on Thursday, but I think we left a lot on the table. I’m looking forward to going back there and seeing if we can keep moving forward.”

By RON SMITH In a two-day meet with the University of Alaska Fairbanks, the Westmont women’s swimming team produced four school records and eight NAIA National Championship “B” standard qualifying marks, though the Warriors were outscored 242 to 164.

The meet took place Friday and Saturday at Westmont.

Friday, Westmont’s Olivia Garrison and Morgan Bienias finished first and second in the 1,650-yard freestyle with times of 18:08.85 and 18.27.79. Both times were within the “B” standard.

Garrison’s time was the second fastest in the Warrior record books.

Bienias won the 200-yard individual medley, posting a time

Later in the day, Garrison and Rian Lewandowski competed in the 100-yard butterfly with Garrison edging out Lewandowski for first by one one-hundredth of a second. Garrison’s time was 1:02.85 Lewandowski took first place in the 100-yard backstroke, posting a time of 1:03.95 and Bienias claimed first in the 500yard freestyle with an NAIA “B” qualifying time of 5:26.56.

On Saturday, Garrison and Bienias again captured first and second, this time in the 200-yard freestyle. Garrison’s time of 1:59.12

Randy Rowse for Santa Barbara mayor Santa Barbara desperately needs a leader who not only understands but appreciates business — the lifeblood that keeps the city running.

We believe there is no one on the slate better to fill the position of mayor than Randy Rowse — a man who successfully ran a thriving business.

This city has had the alternative for decades. As a result, one only has to look at the state of downtown today: “Homelessness” run amok, streets becoming increasingly narrow for cars but extremely wide for bikes and skateboarders, bulb-outs and the canyonization of Chapala. On the horizon, and probably blocking it, are high rises on State and Santa Barbara streets.

Get ready for more massive structures built much too close to sidewalks and streets that would make Pearl Chase roll over in her grave. Not to mention, arbitrarily deciding to increase what was height limit of structures and allowing structures to be built too close to sidewalks and streets, dirty sidewalks, shoppers being accosted by petty criminals who never see the inside of a jail, the city’s micro-managing of those businesses that can still operate.

There are too many arbitrary regulations being foisted upon

established a new school record and meets the “B” standard.

Bienias posted a time of 2:05.67.

Garrison set two more school records on Saturday. In the 200yard butterfly, she beat her own record with a time of 2:20.06 to win the race. Then in the 500 freestyle, which was conducted on both days of the meet, Garrison finished second but posted a record time of 5:20.81, which beat the “B” standard.

Bienias lowered the time of the school record she already possessed in the 200 yard backstroke to 2:10.02 while finishing first. Her time also earned the “B” standard qualification.

Bienias also won the 200 yard breaststroke, completing the eight lengths of the pool in 2:38.92.

Bridget Hoth won two races on Saturday, both of which were under the “B” standard. In the 50 yard freestyle, Hoth posted a time of 25.12. Then in the 100 yard freestyle Hoth recorded a time of 54.94.

The Warriors will be back in action on Nov. 13 when they compete in the Wyatt Balman Invitational at Soka University.

November 2, 1930 – October 25, 2021

Carol Mae Fries, of Ojai, California, passed away peacefully at home on October 25, 2021 at the age of 90 with her family by her side. The matriarch of a large and growing family, Carol lived an extraordinary life and will be missed by all she encountered.

Carol was born to two school teachers in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1930, during The Great Depression. When she was a young girl, she excelled in the arts and would design dresses, make clothes for her dolls, and design their intricate doll house environments. She graduated from Western Hills High School (1948) in Cincinnati, Ohio. While in high school one of her dress creations was displayed in the school showcase. Her artistic passions continued throughout her life as she created incredible homes for her family, supported creative programs in her children’s schools and became an accomplished philanthropist, artist, and community leader.

Carol attended Otterbein University, in Westerville, Ohio where she studied education.

She was a school teacher when she met and married Charles W. Fries in 1951. She paid for her wedding dress, cake and flowers from money she earned and saved from working. Carol and Chuck moved to California in 1952 and built a family and highly successful business in the entertainment industry. Carol was instrumental in her late, ex-husband’s long career which included producing over 5,000 series episodes, 140 television movies and miniseries, and 40 theatrical films.

Carol established a solid family foundation and community in Beverly Hills for nearly 40 years. She enjoyed entertaining, was supportive of the local schools, and believed that a good education was important. She participated in all of her children’s education by providing funding and personal involvement in class projects and activities such as sports, music, and art. She created and organized fairs, festivals, graduations and extra-curricular programs. She utilized and shared her artistic and intellectual skills, imprinting them on everyone she encountered in her work, family, and community endeavors.

Carol always made time to help others and contribute to charities over the years.

She was the president of Neighbors of Watts (NOW) in Los Angeles, California, raising money for schools, families, and community enrichment programs. She was constantly involved in fundraisers and spearheading many events that supported the local communities where she lived.

Carol’s home was a place that people of all ages felt welcomed and embraced. She always made space at the table and there was plenty of food to share. Her natural ability to make others feel included was indeed a special gift. Her warmth and her uncanny ability to listen deeply made her home a beacon for others.

Carol migrated to Ojai, California from Beverly Hills, Laguna Beach, Hollywood Hills, and Carpinteria to live in a peaceful and spiritual location. She was a loving, kind, loyal, and generous mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend and will be deeply missed.

She is survived by her seven children; Charles Fries (Jonna), Suzanne Fries-Hostka, Christopher Fries (Heather), Dyanne Fries, Mike Fries (Michelle), Alice Fries, and Jonathan Fries (Lena), 18 grandchildren, and 13 great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents Alice and Ralph Thompson, brother Robert Thompson, and son Thomas Fries (Debi).

those businesses still in business — and more coming all the time.

It’s taxation without representation for those who own businesses downtown and within the city limits. Business owners pay an inordinate amount of taxes and fees yet have no voting rights if one lives outside the city limits.

Basically, it’s punishing those who bring money into the city coffers yet giving windfalls to those who bring nothing — spending $1.6 million to house 50 alleged homeless for four months in hotel rooms — paid for by those who have no say.

If you don’t want status quo governance of Santa Barbara, vote for Randy Rowse. He’s the only candidate who can turn this city around.

“I get the joy of the Brandenburg Concerto No. 4. It’s one of the most joyful pieces. It’s timeless,”” said Nic McGegan, who will conduct the Santa Barbara Symphony when it performs the iconic Bach work.

“It’s got absolutely everything: great tunes, great rhythms,” guest conductor Nic McGean said about Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 4.

Above, the Santa Barbara Symphony rehearses earlier this year.

randenburg Concerto No. 4 in G Major has it all.

Just ask Nic McGegan, the guest conductor who will lead the Santa Barbara Symphony as it celebrates the 300th anniversary of Bach’s iconic work.

“It’s got absolutely everything: great tunes, great rhythms. It has fabulous flute parts, violin parts,” Maestro McGegan told the NewsPress by phone from his Berkeley home. “I love every single thing about it.”

Maestro McGegan will share his enthusiasm when he leads the concert at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 13 and 3 p.m. Nov. 14 at The Granada.

In addition to the Brandenberg concerto, the symphony under Maestro McGegan’s baton will perform two works written to celebrate the Treaty of Aix-laChapelle in 1748 between France and England: Rameau’s Dances from the opera “Naïs,” and Handel’s “Music for the Royal Fireworks.”

The orchestra will also play Telemann’s Viola Concerto in G Major during a concert that will shine the spotlight on the symphony’s principal violist Erik Rynearson.

The concert is an all-Baroque program.

“It (Baroque) speaks my language. I try to understand that language,” said Maestro McGegan, who, in 2019-20, completed his 34-

year tenure as the music director of the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra and Chorale.

He continues to enjoy conducting Baroque concerts as the orchestra’s music director laureate.

“First of all, I don’t regard it as music by dead people with fancy clothes and white wigs on their heads,” said Maestro McGegan, a 71-year-old English native who remains the principal guest conductor of the Pasadena Symphony. “It’s music by living, breathing human beings with passions, with joy and grief and everything else.

“I get the joy of the Brandenburg Concerto No. 4. It’s one of the most joyful pieces. It’s timeless,” he said.

“Part of the whole Baroque music appeal is that it’s over the top,” he continued. “Bach writes counterpoint because that’s his natural language. He’s also writing something you can tap your foot to or hum along to. I find the music immensely approachable.”

Bach’s Brandenburg concertos didn’t achieve the fame they have today overnight, said Maestro McGegan, who clearly loves the history behind music as much as their melodies.

Bach gave the concertos in 1721 to Christian Ludwig, the margrave of BrandenburgSchwedt and the cousin of Russian Emperor Nicholas II. Maestro McGegan explained Bach used the manuscripts as a job application for patronage. He knew the Please see SYMPHONY on B2

The Santa Barbara Symphony will celebrate the 300th anniversary of the Brandenburg Concertos during its Nov. 13-14 concerts.

“Seventeen thousand people showed up to hear either the performance or dress rehearsal.

They showed up in carriages,” Maestro McGegan said. “It created one of the biggest traffic jams to ever happen.”

“I expected it rained in England,” he said. “When other Brits and I try to organize anything

outdoors, it rains.”

Maestro McGegan said the king of England asked Handel to write “Royal Fireworks” to celebrate the end of its war with France, which involved fighting in Canada and India. “They (England and France) both thought they won, which is a useful thing in a war. In 1748, they decided they had enough and had

a peace treaty.”

“Handel was your go-to guy for grandeur and coronations,” Maestro McGegan said. “He was lucky to be living in London, the biggest part “At the direction of the king, it had no string instruments,” Maestro McGegan said. “The king actually said, ‘No fiddles.’ He

wanted nice, loud instruments, and they had to be loud enough to sound over the fireworks.”

Since then, the “Royal Fireworks” has been performed by a full complement of strings and winds, as will be the case at the Santa Barbara Symphony concert.

The Santa Barbara Symphony concert also features Rameau’s Dances.

“Ramaeu was two years older than Handel,” Maestro McGegan said. “He wrote some of the most beguiling dance music in the Baroque period. The French ballets were always the best and the grandest, and they had an infinite supply of money. They were enormously spectacular.”

Maestro McGegan explained when performed with dancers, Ramaeu’s Dances pantomimes Olympic athletes in sports such as javelin, running, boxing and Greek wrestling.

“I’ve done this piece on stage. It isn’t just jumping up and down in their fancy shoes. It’s like a silent movie, if you like.”

There won’t be dancers at the symphony concert, but Maestro McGegan explained listeners will be able to imagine the dancers and the Olympic athletes they’re emulating from the tunes.

No surprise there. That’s the power of Baroque music. email: dmason@newspress.com

‘Dune’ continues to top box office

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

“Dune” is still No.1 at the domestic box office.

Based on the sci-fi author Frank Herbert’s popular novel, “Dune” raked in $15.5 million during its second weekend.

Still in second place is “Halloween Kills,” the latest in the longtime “Halloween” franchise starring Jamie Lee Curtis. The film grossed $8.5 million.

“No Time to Die” — Daniel Craig’s last outing as Bond, James Bond — remained in the No. 3

spot with $7.8 million.

“My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission” took fourth place with $6.4 million in its first weekend.

“Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” the latest Marvel Studios movie, slipped from fourth to fifth place with $5.8 million.

The thrillers “Last Night in Soho” and “Antlers” tied at the box office in their first weekend.

Both grossed $4.2 million. “Last Night Soho” is listed in sixth place and “Antlers” in seventh, according to boxofficemojo.com.

“Ron’s Gone Wrong,” the animated movie about a kid and his well-meaning but flawed robotic friend, dropped to eighth place from last weekend’s fifth place. It grossed $3.8 million.

No. 9 was “The Addams Family 2,” the quirky animated sequel that was in sixth place the previous weekend. It grossed $3.3 million.

And in 10th place was the creative collection of stories with an all-star cast, “The French Dispatch.” It grossed $2.8 million. email: dmason@newpsress.com

UCSB to perform ‘Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind’

By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

Editor’s note: Katherine Zehnder joins the News-Press today as one of our writers.

The UCSB Department of Theater and Dance is presenting “Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind.”

The show will open on Saturday and run through Nov. 14 at the UCSB Performing Arts Center.

The curtain will rise at 7 p.m.

Nov. 6, 9, 10, 12 and 13. Matinees are 1 p.m. Nov. 6, 7, 13 and 14.

“One of the main objectives for me while working on this play was finding ways to make the cast feel empowered and in control,”

805-988-7861 or 800-346-3781

they would like to see next, so the plays run in no particular order.

That keeps the cast members from falling into a routine of well memorized lines and knowing exactly what happens next.

So the show is different every time and takes both the audience and the cast on an adventure during the performance.

Tickets in advance cost $17 for general admission and $13 for UCSB faculty, staff, alumni and students, seniors and children.

To purchase, call the box office at 805-893-2064 or go to www. theaterdance.ucsb.edu.

Tickets on the day of the play cost an additional $2. email: dmason@newspress.com

Santa Maria library announces new hours

­

so UCSB students in the cast can take ownership of the play in their own right, said Michael Bernard, the director of the show and a UCSB lecturer.

The play originally opened in Chicago in 1988 and was created

by Greg Allen. The show ran for 50 weekends a year until 2016.

“Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind” is a unique attempt by Mr. Allen to present 35 plays in 70 minutes, according to a news release. Each individual play is only two minutes long.

Another unique aspect is that the show relies heavily on audience participation.

Audience members are given a program or “menu” listing all 35 plays. They shout out which play

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.

celebrate. Go to a movie, or better yet, a concert.

LIBRA — Hurry up and wait is today’s phrase. A visit from a close friend, love partner, or colleague might be delayed, perhaps because of something regarding money or possibly the arts. It keeps you trapped waiting, unable to go anywhere. At times like this, it’s best to distract yourself. Find something to do that engrosses you and the time will go by more quickly.

SCORPIO — You’ve been doing well financially. You want to do better, but you might feel temporarily discouraged.

It seems you have to keep working harder to keep up the pace. This is more the result of low biorhythms than any true assessment of your situation.

Today you might have to work a little harder, but you’ll get the results you want. Tomorrow will then be easier on you.

SAGITTARIUS — Today you might think you look awful and perhaps want to go out and change your whole look. Buy some new clothes and go for a workout. Even though you probably look pretty good, these activities make you feel good and increase your self-confidence.

Your self-image is proportionate to your state of mind. You might just feel a bit down now.

CAPRICORN — Today you might feel unloved even though there’s no real reason for it. Your relationships should be pretty strong, but your biorhythms are down so you might be lacking in self-confidence. Phone a close friend and get together. Go shopping or to a movie and raise your spirits. By the end of the day you’ll feel like your old self again!

AQUARIUS — Plans to get together with friends tonight could be delayed by responsibilities. It won’t stop you but it will mean getting together a little later. Someone close to you might feel a little down and seek a sympathetic ear. Try to get this person to forget his or her insecurities and see the situation as it is.

PISCES — You might have to work just a little harder to make money now. This might involve putting in extra time on a task, or it could simply mean that you have to make a few extra trips to the bank. Artistic insights might not be coming as profusely as usual, but this is all right. Relax and let things be, and the ideas will start coming again.

ARIES — A delay in receiving acknowledgment of some sort could happen today. This might be disappointing, but don’t let it get you down. You’ll receive it, just maybe not on time! This isn’t a good day to execute any legal contracts or start a vacation. It’s a great day to take care of mundane tasks. Get busy!

TAURUS — Depressing news about the state of the world economy or stock market could have you feeling gloomy and wondering about your financial future. Don’t worry. The world economy is in pretty good shape and you should be, too. Equity in property investments could be down, but they should recover shortly. Go with the flow and don’t believe everything you read or hear.

GEMINI — A close friend or romantic partner might not seem communicative today and you might wonder whether this person still cares for you. He or she is experiencing a few difficulties, perhaps involving money, and so isn’t particularly good company. Listen if your friend wants to talk, but otherwise just be there. That’s what is important anyway.

CANCER — Do you have a garden or some houseplants that seem a little droopy? Don’t worry about whether or not they’re all going to die. Revive them! You might feel that some things are more trouble than they’re worth.

Give yourself space to be gloomy for a while and then perk yourself up. Buy yourself a present.

LEO — Today close friends, a love partner, or children may appear to be in a quiet, melancholy mood. You might wonder if you’ve done something to cause it, but it probably has very little to do with you, if anything. Responsibilities could be weighing on everyone, including you. The only answer is to pitch in and take care of business. Then treat yourselves afterward!

VIRGO — Home responsibilities may increase markedly today, leaving you feeling like you’re the only member of the household getting anything done. You might give in to gloom, but don’t dwell on it for too long. You will feel a lot better if you pitch in and take care of whatever needs to be done and then treat yourself by going out to

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF CYNTHIA DELISE McBRIDE Case No. 21PR00502 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of CYNTHIA DELISE McBRIDE A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Clarence E. McBride in the Superior Court of California, County of SANTA BARBARA. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Clarence E. McBride 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 on Dec. 16, 2021 at 9:00 AM in Dept. No. 5 located at 1100 Anacapa St., Santa Barbara, CA 93101.

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.
