Establishing emergency shelters SB Council discusses combatting fire risk posed by homeless encampments

RAFAEL MALDONADO / NEWS-PRESS PHOTOS

The Santa Barbara City Council may soon declare a state of emergency to address the high fire risk posed by homeless encampments in the city.

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara City Council may soon declare a state of emergency to address the high fire risk posed by homeless encampments in the city. Tuesday night, the council voted unanimously on an effort costing upwards of $1 million to establish one or multiple temporary locations to house individuals living in encampments in high fire prone areas. The proposed pilot program would last through the high fire season, which runs through the end of September. Potential sites could include city lots such as the Carillo/Castillo Commuter Lot, City Hall lot and other lots such as the Earl Warren Showgrounds, the former Staples building on State Street, or others. Tuesday’s emergency hearing came as Santa Barbara County District Attorney Joyce Dudley announced that charges were formally filed against 23-year-old Victor Angel Hernandez of Santa Barbara. Mr. Hernandez is charged with three felony counts and two misdemeanor counts, including arson of an inhabited structure, attempted arson and reckless burning. He is accused of starting the Loma Fire, which burned over seven acres and damaged two structures. Mr. Hernandez appeared for arraignment Tuesday for the felony complaint and pleaded not guilty to all charges and denied all special allegations. The case is currently set for preliminary hearing at 8:30 a.m. June 2 in Santa Barbara Superior Court. While city and fire officials acknowledged Tuesday that Mr. Hernandez was homeless, the fire wasn’t sparked from an encampment and was purposefully set. City staff will return in two weeks with potential shelter sites. Council members requested to find funding options to expand bed capacity at PATH Santa Barbara, in addition to the new shelter or shelters. The areas would require

portable restrooms, hand wash stations, trash collection, food, showers, medical aid and case management. Around-the-clock security would be required for both the site and surrounding neighborhood. During Tuesday’s meeting, city staff mentioned several “fire prone areas” throughout the city, including the Highway 101 ramps at Castillo and Garden streets, along the Union Pacific service area, open space preserves, the bird refuge/Los Patos, the open space between Santa Barbara City College and the 800 block of Cliff Drive and Loma Alta Drive. Public commenters at the meeting included local service providers such as representatives from City Net, Housing Authority and SB ACT, and all agreed on an “all hands on deck” effort to address the issue, and create long-term, permanent solutions for those living in encampments. Other community members commenting said that they wanted to protect the dignity of the individuals currently living in encampments and the surrounding neighborhoods from impacts. “There is a coalition of service providers ready, willing and able to support you in your decision,” Brad Fieldhouse, executive director of City Net, said during public comment. “We know how to do this. City Net has run a dozen of these emergency response shelters. They need to be safe, they need to be clean, and they need to have the appropriate amount of services.” Council members expressed the importance in acting now and acting quickly in order to address the issue. City Fire personnel shared with meeting attendees that in the month of May, the fire department responded to 18 homeless-related fires in 23 days — not counting incidents ruled as suspicious circumstances — when a more common rate would be one to two a month. City staff presented statistics ranging from July 1, 2020, through Monday of this week. Staff received 1,017 requests from the public regarding encampment clearances, and

The city council voted unanimously on an effort costing upwards of $1 million to establish locations throughout the city to house individuals living in encampments in high fire prone areas.

of those, there are 252 daily waterfront clearances, 141 underpass clearances, 300 park locations, 148 CalTrans locations and 30 Union Pacific service areas where encampments are located. “It’s obvious that if we end up doing a sanctioned encampment that it would have all the services, monitoring and 24/7 security,” Mayor Cathy Murillo said. Councilman Mike Jordan echoed the need for neighborhood safety, while also respecting the dignity of those being removed from their encampments. “I’m 100% committed to getting encampments out of high fire hazard areas,” he said. “I’m equally committed to the people that are being displaced having an alternative site to go live in. One of those cannot take place without the other, and I will remain equally committed to both of those.” Councilman Eric Friedman said that, considering the very dry fire season ahead, “conditions are ripe for more fires unless we do something to try to abate them upfront and very quickly.” “For too long, we’ve been saturated with problems, but we need to come up with solutions and we’ve been short on them,” Mr. Friedman said. “We no longer have the option to kick the can down the road.” Councilwoman Meagan Harmon supported putting the encampment shelter in City

SBA offers direct service to Chicago By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

The Santa Barbara Municipal Airport will begin direct flights to the Windy City next month, offering customers a gateway to the Midwest as the tourism industry eyes a comeback in the latter half of this year. Starting June 3, SBA will begin direct service to Chicago O’Hare International Airport with United Airlines. Daily flights will depart at 7 a.m. and arrive in Chicago around 1:20 p.m. local time, and the plane can seat about 76 passengers. This direct service expands on the seasonal weekend service offered by American Airlines out of SBA, which began nonstop flights to Chicago on May 8 and will continue offering service on weekends through Sept. 5. The new United Airlines service will be the longest direct flight SBA currently offers, filling a gap in the market for both leisure and business customers while connecting Santa Barbara travelers to more than 60 international destinations via Chicago. “Chicago is such a hub, such a great airport and so many people from all over the world come in and out of there,” Angi Daus, the marketing coordinator for the airport, told the News-Press.

“So it expands opportunities literally all over the world for our constituents and community members to go all over the world from there. And there are real economic impacts for (our) area.” She added, “Once things start opening for business travel, we see this being a dynamite route for that. Chicago is a great hub for businesses all over the world.” Initially, the airport was expecting to offer direct service to Chicago starting a year ago, but plans were quickly slashed by the pandemic. Now, with travel making a comeback, airport officials are excited to finally offer this new connection in the Midwest, Ms. Daus said. To celebrate the new direct service, Dave’s Dogs Grill will be set up outside the main terminal entrance from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday and Saturday for the entire month of June. After a lagging year for the tourism and hospitality industry, local travel agencies are hopeful the new service to and from Chicago will entice new visitors to vacation in the region and bolster Santa Barbara’s economic recovery. For the hard-hit hospitality industry, the new service could mean hope is on the horizon. “While local hotel performance has been improving during the Please see CHICAGO on A3

SB Unified board discusses LCAP draft District reveals anticipated summer school enrollment By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

During the regular board meeting of the Santa Barbara Unified School District Tuesday night, the board discussed the first draft of the 2021-2024 Local Control Accountability Plan, which directs the spending of $11.6 million across three school years. The majority of the funding, or just over $6.2 million, is earmarked for the LCAP’s first goal: “Use relevant and inclusive instruction, curriculum, and assessments to ensure our students experience learning that is meaningful, engaging, responsive, and individualized to increase college and career preparedness.” To meet this goal, the plan budgets for more specialists to cater instruction and professional development for teachers. It also calls for more interventions for students struggling with language and literacy. Goal two focused on mental health and family engagement,

including funding earmarked for family education. The final goal prioritizes “equitable student outcomes” by expanding AVID and PEAC programs, which assists lowincome latino students. The presentation did not include many actionable items the district could take. Public commenters, both of which frequently comment, were skeptical of the plan. Monie de Wit, who is a member of the LCAP parent advisory committee, wondered how stakeholder input was considered for the plan. Board President Kate Ford asked for a detailed list of LCAP items and the input that guided each decision. She also asked for the plan to utilize “accessible language,” as the goals are confusing to the public. Roseanne Crawford, an outspoken critic of the district’s dual-language immersion program, spoke in opposition of LCAP funding going to the program. The presentation did not identify the dual-language immersion courses nor the Please see sbusd on A4

Hall’s parking lot, citing that the neighborhoods surrounding the Carillo/Castillo Commuter Lot have a “real lack of trust already” because of the impacts already being experienced by the homeless population. “How do we show political courage? How do we show leadership? What better place to locate it in than the City Hall parking lot?” she said. “That’s us doing our part, all of us on Council, all of us banding together and prioritizing homeless issues as a city.” Council members Friedman and Jordan and Mayor Pro Tempore Oscar Gutierrez will work on contacting other elected officials in the county, state and federal level for assistance with the endeavor. “There are so many groups in this community that hold power over the people in the community, whether that’s corporate entities that operate and own or rent large plots of land throughout the city … or religious organizations who also own or rent large plots of land throughout the city,” Mr. Gutierrez said. “The city can only do so much … I’m begging you, literally, for the love of God, help us. Help us address this crisis we’re in. “Help these people in need, because just to pile it on the city, we’re only one link in the chain.” News-Press Associate Editor Mitchell White contributed to this report.

TRAFFIC, CRIME AND FIRE BLOTTER Chemical agent used in barricade incident

Forest officials raise fire restrictions

SANTA BARBARA — The Santa Barbara Police Department’s SWAT Team deployed a chemical agent into an apartment Tuesday afternoon following an hours-long barricade incident involving a Santa Barbara man, police said. Just after midnight Tuesday, officers responded to an apartment complex in the 100 block of Oceano Avenue following reports of a subject disturbing the peace and breaking property in his apartment. Officers attempted to contact the subject, later identified as 26-year-old Skyler Stephen Prophet, but he refused to answer the door “and started making nonsensical and irrational statements,” said Sgt. Ethan Ragsdale, police spokesman. “Mental health workers were contacted but were not able to respond or render services because Prophet appeared to be under the influence of a controlled substance,” Sgt. Ragsdale said in a press release. “The Officers on scene determined there was no crime, no one was willing to press charges for disturbing the peace, and no other occupants were inside the apartment. Officers asked Prophet through the door of the apartment to be quiet and it appeared he complied.” Around 2 a.m., additional calls came into the dispatch center about Mr. Prophet continuing to create a disturbance. A neighbor signed a citizen’s arrest complaint, and as police contacted Mr. Prophet through a window he had broken, he allegedly grabbed a large piece of window glass, approximately 18-inches in diameter, and threw it at the officers, Sgt. Ragsdale said. “The Officers had to quickly move out of the way to avoid being struck by the sharp shard,” he said. “Prophet continued to yell nonsensical statements and would not comply with multiple verbal requests from the Officers. Prophet then armed himself (with) a large wooden pole and continued to damage the interior of his apartment. Due to Prophet’s erratic actions and statements he had made, it appeared he was under the influence of an unidentified controlled substance and possibly suffering from mental health illness.” Evacuations were ordered for the immediate surrounding apartment, and a shelter-in-place order was issued, which included Santa Barbara City College West Campus. Multiple agencies were deployed and a search and arrest warrant was approved by a judge. After “dozens of attempts” to contact Mr. Prophet, and as he continued to allegedly throw blunt objects and fortify his apartment, the chemical agent was deployed and Mr. Prophet surrendered without further incident. Police located five throwing knives, large wooden staffs and a metal pole or pipe. Mr. Prophet was taken to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital for a medical evaluation and because he was allegedly under the influence of a controlled substance. After his medical evaluation, he was transported to Santa Barbara County Jail and received additional mental health treatment. He was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon against a peace officer, a felony. He is facing charges of disturbing the peace and resisting or obstructing an officer — both misdemeanors. He is being held on $50,000 bail. No officers were injured, and a dog was retrieved from the apartment uninjured. The animal was cared for by city Animal Control and released to a family friend.

Los Padres National Forest officials announced that fire restrictions will be raised throughout the forest, effective immediately. These restrictions will affect the use of campfires, stoves, smoking materials and internal combustion engines and will remain in effect until the end of the fire season later this fall. As of Tuesday, the following restrictions will remain in effect: no open fires, campfires or charcoal fires permitted outside of developed recreation sites or designated campfire sites, even with a valid permit; smoking is prohibited, except within an enclosed vehicle, building or designated campfire use site; internal combustion engines may be operated only on roads or designated trails; fireworks are not permitted at any time or in any location within the forest; and recreational target shooting remains prohibited within the forests, except for the Winchester Canyon Gun Club and the Ojai Valley Gun Club.

Man arrested on drug charges ISLA VISTA — A Paso Robles man was arrested last weekend and is accused of possessing cocaine for sales in Isla Vista, authorities said. Around 3 a.m. Saturday, authorities were at a residence in the 6600 block of Sueno Road in Isla Vista for a follow-up to the report of gunshots fired in the area. While they were searching for witnesses and evidence, three subjects were observed sitting in a parked vehicle with cocaine in plain view on the dashboard, said Raquel Zick, spokeswoman for the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department. Deputies contacted the passenger and found 19-year-old Cesar Antonio Cerda Jr. in possession of cocaine that was packaged for sales, Ms. Zick said. He was arrested on suspicion of selling and transporting cocaine, a felony, and transported to the Main Jail. He was booked and later released on a citation pursuant to the local court extension of Emergency Rule 4. — Mitchell White

Asphalt tank catches fire at oil facility SANTA MARIA — An asphalt tank caught fire Tuesday morning at the Greka crude oil processing plant in Santa Maria, authorities said. The fire was reported around 11:50 a.m. Steam injection was used to extinguish the blaze, said Capt. Daniel Bertucelli, spokesman for the Santa Barbara County Fire Department. Oil and gas investigators were sent to the scene to investigate the cause of the fire. Tuesday’s fire occurred one day after a boiler caught fire and prompted a response from the county fire department. No injuries were reported.

Surfliner reservations required this weekend Reservations will be required this weekend for Amtrak Pacific Surfliner trains that travel between Santa Barbara, San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles, Ventura and San Luis Obispo counties. Additional train cars are being added when possible to increase the number of available seats on select trains, however the number of seats onboard each train is limited. To safely manage capacity during peak travel periods, customers are required to make a reservation for any travel planned Friday to Monday. In addition, reservations will be required during Fourth of July weekend, from July 2 to 5, as well as opening weekend of the Del Mar Races, July 16 to 19, and Labor Day weekend, Sept. 3 to 7. Additionally, the Rail 2 Rail program will be suspended on most of the peak travel dates, during which monthly Metrolink and COASTER passes will not be accepted onboard Pacific Surfliner trains. Amtrak monthly and 10-ride passes may still be used. However, multi-ride ticket holders will be required to confirm each trip (train and date) through the Amtrak RideReserve program on Amtrak. com, the Amtrak app, or an Amtrak agent prior to traveling during the reservation period; thus, ensuring travelers have the safest and most comfortable journey possible. Passengers are encouraged to follow safety measures and any important public health orders in place during their trip and at their destination. This includes wearing a mask at stations and onboard trains at all times, washing hands or using sanitizer often, and staying home if they are feeling sick. Per federal law and Amtrak policy, all customers and employees must wear a face mask or covering that fully covers the entire mouth and nose, fits snugly against the side of the face, and secures under the chin at all times while onboard and in stations. More dates may be added where a reservation is required, depending on travel demand throughout the summer. For the latest information, visit www.pacificsurfliner.com/ schedules. — Mitchell White

Santa Barbara County did not meet the criteria to qualify for the yellow tier this week, leaving the region stuck in the orange tier of COVID-19 restrictions for yet another week. To qualify for the yellow tier, the county must maintain a case rate of less than two per 100,000 for two weeks straight. This week, the county’s case rate sits at exactly two, missing the first week of qualification by one tenth of a percent, according to public health data. The county has been in the orange tier of restrictions since April 21. At this rate, it’s uncertain whether or not the county will meet the necessary criteria to move into the yellow tier before the entire tier system is dissolved by the state on June 15. On Tuesday, the county reported 16 new cases of COVID-19 in the county, bringing the

county’s active case total to 53. No new deaths were reported. Santa Maria reported nine new cases on Tuesday, and Orcutt reported four new cases. Two new cases were reported in Santa Barbara and one new infection was reported in Goleta. All other areas reported no new cases on Tuesday. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Tuesday that 50% of all U.S. adults are fully vaccinated against COVID19, a milestone victory in the county’s efforts to achieve herd immunity. The nationwide vaccination effort is also playing out in Santa Barbara County, where 42.6% of the county’s population is fully vaccinated. Of the county’s 12 and older population who are vaccine eligible, 62.3% have received at least one dose and 50.3% of that population is fully vaccinated as of Tuesday.

United Airlines will begin offering direct service to Chicago O’Hare International Airport on June 3 out of Santa Barbara Airport.

‘The timing is right ... as we see a vast reduction in COVID cases and increases in vaccinations’ CHICAGO

Continued from Page A1 last few weeks, we’re still not back to pre-pandemic levels,” Kathy Janega-Dykes, the president and CEO of Visit Santa Barbara, told the News-Press in an email. “Our research shows that the greatest drop in demand during COVID-

19 was from markets outside of California, which is why the addition of new flights is especially important right now.” Ms. Janega-Dykes added that mid-week travel is a “critical travel segment” that has been missing during the pandemic, and she is hopeful tapping the Chicago market could help generate an

increase in demand. She also expects that as chilly winter weather descends on the Midwest, travelers will be eyeing an escape to the Central Coast. “In the shoulder season, when East Coast weather turns cold and dreary, Santa Barbara will have greater appeal for this market,” Ms. Janega-Dykes said. “Visit Santa Barbara will be actively

marketing to Chicago audiences for all of these reasons.” Kristen Miller, the president and CEO of the South Coast Chamber of Commerce, also welcomed the airport’s new service, voicing enthusiasm over the potential for enhanced connectivity with domestic and international travelers. After a tough year for hotels, Ms. Miller

said this announcement comes at just the right time as the tourism industry anticipates a postpandemic comeback. “The timing is right for this announcement as we see a vast reduction in COVID cases and increases in vaccinations,” Ms. Miller said in an email to the News-Press. “The Santa Barbara South Coast is ready to greet visitors and businesses are introducing more in person

meetings. Both industry and tourism will benefit from this new route.” She continued, “Chicago will now be the farthest direct flight out of Santa Barbara allowing more people faster access in and out of our community. The time for economic recovery is now and this added route will make a positive impact.” email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

Fryklund leads Royals past Chargers By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Allie Fryklund registered 15 strikeouts and the San Marcos offense racked up 16 hits, as the Royals clinched a tie for the Channel League Championship with their 5-0 win over Dos Pueblos Tuesday.

Kylee Johnson, Sydney Gills, Lauren Swing, Boogie Grossini and Molli Kadlec contributed offensively in the win. Riley Vannasap allowed four runs on three hits to earn the win.

PREP BOYS BASEBALL CARPINTERIA 3, MALIBU 0 Miles Souza tossed a complete game, threehit shutout Tuesday, as the Warriors handed the Sharks their first Citrus Coast League loss of the season at John Calderwood Field. Souza, who needed just 84 pitches to toss the complete game, struck out eight to secure his seventh win of the season. Carpinteria (11-4, 10-3 in CCL) scored in the first on an RBI double by Souza. Issac Castilo’s RBI groundout doubled the Warriors’ lead, and Oscar Velazquez added a two-out single in the third. The two teams will be back in action Thursday at Malibu.

Carbajal reintroduces gun control legislation Local advocates support red flag laws following anniversary of Isla Vista shooting By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, DSanta Barbara, announced Tuesday afternoon that he is reintroducing the Extreme Risk Protection Order Act of 2021. The protection orders — also referred to as red flag laws — would allow family members or law enforcement officials to petition a judge to temporarily remove firearms from an individual in crisis. California passed its own red flag law after the Isla Vista shooting in 2014, where a UCSB student, Elliot Rodgers, killed six people, himself and injured 14. Rep. Carbajal’s legislation would provide federal grants and resources to incentivize states to follow California’s lead and implement their own red flag laws. The reintroduction follows the seventh anniversary of the Isla Vista shooting which was on Sunday. “I don’t need to tell you all that this last Sunday, our community mourned our loved ones who were killed in the Isla Vista shooting years ago,” Rep. Carbajal said during a virtual press conference Tuesday afternoon. “Like so many shootings, this deadly attack could have been prevented.” The congressman said that the issue of gun violence is “deeply personal” to him, as he found his own sister dead when he was only 12. She had shot herself with her father’s gun. He mentioned that the mother of the Isla Vista shooter had alerted law enforcement about his desire to hurt those around him, but the law prevented police from removing the $2,000 worth

of firearms and ammunition Mr. Rodgers had stockpiled, on top of his detailed manifesto and disturbing social media posts. “Current law in many states doesn’t provide any way to prevent people who show violence and disturbing behavior from buying a gun before they act,” Rep. Carbajal said. “Think about that. Even if you know a loved one in crisis who has threatened violence, you would have to wait for that violent act to happen before law enforcement could temporarily remove their guns. That makes no sense.” After the red flag law was enacted in the state, Santa Barbara County issued 21 extreme risk protection orders, according to the congressman, and the San Diego City Attorney issued 100. He said these orders recovered 169 guns, including 16 assault rifles in one case, 56 guns and explosives and 75 rounds of ammunition. Two other speakers attended the press conference, including Kendall Pata, the local group leader of the Santa Barbara chapter of Moms Demand Action. She said that she, too, experienced gun violence firsthand, with her great grandfather’s suicide by gun. The gun control advocate said that 90% of suicide attempts using a gun end in deaths, but if guns are removed from the equation, only 4% of suicide attempts are fatal. In addition, she said that 93% of perpetrators exhibited warning signs prior to committing violence, and in 81% of cases, the shooters’ peers had knowledge of the plans to harm others prior to the shootings. “Access to a gun is the difference between life and death,” Ms. Pata said. “There’s no reason not to pass this legislation.”

U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, DSanta Barbara, announced Tuesday afternoon that he is reintroducing the Extreme Risk Protection Order Act of 2021, which would provide federal grants and resources to incentivize states to follow California’s lead and implement their own red flag laws.

Joyce Dudley, Santa Barbara County’s District Attorney, said she is proud of California for allowing “mothers and others who have the authority to get those guns taken away” to do so. “This important public safety legislation would provide an incentive, which is exactly the way to handle this in a nation as complex as ours,” the district attorney said. “He (Congressman Carbajal) is giving the power back to the states, but at the same time, giving them the power to save lives. They can do this through grant funding, and I firmly believe — as a person whose been in the county’s District Attorney’s Office

for 31 years — if California had this law back in 2014, hundreds of lives would not have been destroyed, and with the passage of this law, thousands nationwide can be saved.” Rep. Carbajal pointed out that red flag laws have received support from both sides of the political aisle and from many organizations, including law enforcement, the National Rifle Association and former President Donald Trump. When asked by the News-Press why he thinks a red flag law hasn’t been passed on the federal level, he said, “I think this has always been a very challenging discussion in Congress because my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have overwhelmingly been greatly influenced by the NRA and it’s almost been unanimous. Luckily, every time that I’ve introduced this bill, I’ve gotten bipartisan support, and I’m hopeful that will be the case for this bill.” He added that he thinks the ERPO Act of 2021 is more likely to pass in the “slightly different climate in Congress this time around.” Ms. Dudley closed the press conference with a message for those who attended the memorial service for the six students from UCSB who were shot and killed in 2014. “We heard (Richard) Martinez saying, ‘Not one more.’ That’s exactly what Congressman Carbajal is saying right now, only it’s seven years later. Not one more. Let’s get this passed … so that another mother, another other, doesn’t have to suffer and doesn’t have to hear the words that there was one more.” email: gmccormick@newspress.com

DEATH NOTICES HANTZ, Raymond H.: 88; of Lompoc; died May 23; arrangements by StarbuckLind Mortuary.

MORGAN, Anna

Sadly, our mother, Anna Morgan, left us early on the morning of May 19, 2021. She was an extremely strong, independent and ageless woman of the greatest generation. Wife of James Morgan, a career army soldier, she traveled from Panama to his many posts during his deployments. After his retirement, Anna lived in Mahanoy City, PA, her husband’s hometown. His family gave Anna and the entire family a warm welcome and she remained in Mahanoy City until moving to Santa Barbara in 1968 to join her daughter Anita. Anna worked at the UCSB cafeteria before going to Westmont College, to serve students in their Dining Commons. The students were one of Anna’s greatest joys. She was up at 5:00 every morning to make sure they had breakfast before class. She anticipated their many needs. When sports teams came back from competitions after the cafeteria was closed, they found that Anna had secretly stashed sack dinners for all of them. Students took Anna horseback riding and shared many other activities with her. Even now, decades after retirement, former Westmont students will see Anna around town and call out her name and remind her of how sweet she was to them. Her mission in life has been to take care of Dennis, her now 65-year-old autistic son. At some point a social worker asked if Dennis should be placed in a care home. Anna was shocked by the question. “Why would he live with someone else when I am his mother and can take care of him?” ...and she did, for his entire life. $QQD LV VXUYLYHG E\ KHU ÀYH FKLOGUHQ $QLWD -XDQ 5REHUWR &DURO 5LFKDUG 'HQQLV KHU WKUHH JUDQGFKLOGUHQ DQG ÀYH JUHDW JUDQGFKLOGUHQ $QLWD LQ 6DQWD %DUEDUD DQG &DURO LQ 6LPL 9DOOH\ PDGH VXUH WKHLU PRWKHU UHFHLYHG DQ\ VXSSRUW VKH QHHGHG 5LFKDUG GURYH from Ventura to Santa Barbara several times a week to sit and watch Jeopardy with his mother.

Dennis is one of the longest attending clients at Alpha and, as such, he is given special status there.

When she was driving, she attended Mass every single GD\ %HLQJ ÁXHQW LQ ERWK 6SDQLVK DQG (QJOLVK VKH DWWHQGHG HLWKHU RI WKRVH WZR PDVVHV on Sundays. A couple of years ago when she could no longer drive, she would often walk the six blocks to church. When she did not want to walk and if she couldn’t get a ride, she was known to stand on the corner of Bath and Micheltorena and hitchhike to church! Anna was a very determined woman. Special thanks to the doctors and nurses at Cottage Hospital, especially to Sierra, Elizabeth and Gosha. Special thanks to Dr. Winthrop, who for decades has been so kind to her, providing her with excellent eye care for her complicated vision. A special Mass for Anna will be held on Friday, May 28th at 10:00 AM at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church.

The couple had previously bought the home for $7.2 million in 2017 before flipping it and selling in 2018 for $11 million. It is unknown whether they will reside in Rancho San Leandro. The couple bought a $49 million Montecito estate in September, another off-market deal.

Continued from Page A1 overarching Multilingual Excellence Transforming Achievement plan. As it was a discussion item, board members did not have to make a decision yet regarding the LCAP draft’s approval. Board members gave compliments after the “Summer of Learning” presentation. They had many questions in previous meetings, advocating for a robust program. The district has invited 3,716 students to enroll in summer school, divided between general summer school and summer bridge programs. The estimated cost of summer school is just over $3.5 million. Incoming junior high students from other elementary districts have been included in the invitations, Director of Secondary Education Dr. Anne RoundyHarter clarified to the board. The district is finalizing the hiring of six summer school

coordinators, 213 teachers and other certificated staff (such as nurses and speech-language pathologists), 13 counselors, 27 classified staff (like janitors) and 58 paraeducators. The district is employing six bus routes, five for elementary and one for secondary students. Elementary students will go on field trips as part of their Summer of Learning. According to the agenda attachments, the district has signed memorandums of understanding with the following organizations for summer school: Explore Ecology; Girls Inc. of Greater Santa Barbara; MOXI, The Wolf Museum of Exploration + Innovation; One Community Bridge Project; Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition; Santa Barbara CalSOAP/CommUnify; Santa Barbara Education Foundation; Santa Barbara Dance Institute; Santa Barbara Public Library; United Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Barbara County; United Way of Santa Barbara County; and Wilderness Youth Project.

‘M

yra Huyck Manfrina: Gal of the Century” is a fitting headline for the article in the Lompoc Valley Historical Society’s Spring 2021 quarterly newsletter, which is named the Myra Huyck Manfrina Commemoration Issue in honor of the Lompoc legend, who is celebrating her 100th birthday Thursday. The longtime researcher, genealogist and historian for the Historical Society still serves on its board of directors. Almost the entire issue contains a lengthy interview that Cynthia Carbone Ward did with Mrs. Manfrina in 2016 for her blog, “The Living Stories Collective,” an oral history website. Ms. Ward graciously gave her permission to use the 2016 material, along with several photographs for a story about the beloved Mrs. Manfrina, who was born May 27, 1921, in a house on Locust and L streets in Lompoc. “Not in a hospital,” she was quick to add, “but a house,” according to the oral history. Mrs. Manfrina was the only child of Lloyd and Marie Huyck and had a close relationship with her grandparents, who played a prominent role in many of her memories. “I recall as a child in the 1920s going to Grandma Pierce’s for a chicken dinner, but first a trip to the chicken yard, where Grandpa would chop a chicken’s head off with a hatchet, or Grandma would pick one up by the head and whirl it around . . . After killing the chicken one way or another, the feathers had to be plucked off, then the carcass singed in the fire to get all the fuzz and pin feathers, and finally it got to the oven or frying pan.” Fourth of July memories included the purchase of “real fireworks” at Mama Wong’s near the corner of K and Ocean. “We would sit on the steps at Grandma Pierce’s North L Street home while Uncle Bert Rios and my dad would put up pinwheels on the big tree trunks, shoot skyrockets . . . the kids could pop long strings of small firecrackers themselves. There was usually a parade that day with lots of flags and John Philip Sousa marches by the Lompoc band.” Mrs. Manfrina also remembered Sunday rides to the beach or over the countryside. “We always took our picnic lunch — there were no handy restaurants or fast food places to buy anything to eat. The only one I can think of was Morinini’s Store at Surf. ... We went to the Elite Bakery, westside alley corner, 100 block South H, and got a frappe cone, double scoop for five cents. In my teenage years, I went to Lind’s Cafe after school for a marshmallow Coke. I was skinny then.” Other happy memories Mrs. Manfrina recalled in Ms. Ward’s oral history: “You knew it was spring and Easter time when the men and boys blossomed out in white shoes and gray suits, and the men wore straw hats instead of felt ones … You used the sun or the oven to dry your hair, and rubber bands held up our rolled abovethe-knee stockings until the advent of garter belts … We didn’t lock our house or car doors … Everyone respected each other’s property … We ironed all our clothes … And we used ink for pens with pen points dipped in a bottle of ink or inkwell.” During her teen years, Mrs. Manfrina went to school dances, where “we danced in our partners’ arms and only cheek to cheek when Miss Bowen wasn’t looking. It was an age of innocence. Every Saturday night, there was a dance at the memorial building. We even had dance cards. That’s one thing we did in Lompoc. We danced. Everyone had a good time. No money, but a good time.” In March 1942, Myra Huyck married Walter Manfrina, who was drafted into the Army in 1944 when their first son Barry was a baby. Their second son Bob was born in 1947.

CYNTHIA CARBONE WARD PHOTO

Lompoc legend Myra Huyck Manfrina, who will turn 100 Thursday, was photographed in 2016 for an oral history by Cynthia Carbone Ward. Mrs. Manfrina said volunteering is part of a long and happy life.

World War II memories included helping out in various ways at the Walnut Street USO while her husband fought for his country in Europe in the Battle of Hurtgen Forest and the Battle of the Bulge. Hospitalized twice, he was awarded a Purple Heart. After his discharge in 1946, Mr. Manfrina was hired by Burpee (Seeds and Plants) as a greenhouse manager. The couple were married for 72 years when he died in 2014 at the age of 100. “Seventy-two years. Isn’t that wild?” said Mrs. Manfrina in Ms. Ward’s account. In addition to her work at the Historical society and on the computer at home, Mrs. Manfrina has kept busy transforming bits of broken jewelry, porcelain doll faces and bric-a-brac into unusual pieces of art arranged in small shadow box frames. “You just have to do your best and keep going,” she told Ms. Ward more than once. When asked if she had some basic rules for a long happy life, Mrs. Manfrina was prepared with the following answer: “Take pride in what you do. “Do the best you can. “Volunteer. “Have a hobby and a goal.” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

PET of the WEEK Rusty Rusty loves to play fetch. You’ll find that out if you adopt him from Santa Ynez Valley Humane Society/ DAWG. The 5-year-old German shepherd came to the Buellton shelter a few months ago when his owner died. Since then, the humane society/DAWG has discovered Rusty loves to play with all kinds of toys. Motivated by food, Rusty has also proven he’s great with basic commands such as “sit” and “lie” down. And Rusty is good on a leash for walks. He would be a great dog for a single-person home or a family with kids around 8 and up. He loves to cuddle and would love to watch movies at home with his owner, followed by hikes and other outdoor adventures. Rusty, though, needs a confident owner who’s familiar with German shepherds. The humane society/DAWG said it is clear Rusty would do best in a home where he would have constant company. Rusty would prefer to be in a home without cats or smaller dogs.

Diversions horoscope • puzzles

ARIES — You may feel nostalgic as you look through photo albums, rearrange furniture, and remember past times, Aries. Your mind will touch on emotional events that you may not have fully dealt with at the time they happened. Old feelings that you thought were gone could well up and bring tears to your eyes. Honestly face these feelings now instead of stuffing them back down for another decade. TAURUS — You could be operating based on an assumption that’s only a partial representation of the truth. In your effort to think about only the good side of the situation, Taurus, you may not see the entire truth. There’s a downside to everything. Feelings of anger, frustration, and even loneliness may go along with it. GEMINI — If you’re experiencing emotional upheaval, Gemini, you may take heart in knowing that other people are going through their own emotional turmoil as well. You will know that you aren’t alone in your quest for emotional stability. Share your feelings with others instead of shutting them up inside. It will help you feel better. CANCER — You may feel like someone’s giving you the third degree, Cancer. You sense that you’re being accused of something and that you need to defend your feelings and actions. Try not to fall into this trap. Don’t let selfdoubt sneak into the situation just because someone else questions your way of life. No one but you fully understands your situation. LEO — Today may be filled with “I told you so!” You could find fault with others who haven’t dealt with the truth of a situation. Be careful about accusing someone of the very thing that you’re guilty of, Leo. Penetrating emotions will cut to the heart of the matter, and there will be no way to escape the hole you dig for yourself. Don’t criticize others when until you take an honest look at yourself. VIRGO — Most of the time you deal with the facts, Virgo. Facts are things you can grasp, categorize, and make rational sense of. Unfortunately, today some of your facts may be challenged by one of the things you fear most - intense emotions. The ensuing friction is like dealingNovember with apples 16, and2015 oranges. Monday, You may find it hard to find any

common ground from which to negotiate. LIBRA — It will be hard to deal with emotional issues that arise. A strong misleading force is feeding the illusion that things are fine when they really aren’t. Stop pretending that everything is going well, Libra. The sooner you face the truth, the sooner it will stop plaguing you. Confront the deception directly. SCORPIO — Don’t automatically assume that people are going to understand your needs, Scorpio. Your emotions may be powerful today, and you could end up scaring people away instead of drawing them closer simply because you act irrationally and emotionally instead of reasonably and civilly. Be careful about targeting your frustration at the people who can help you the most. SAGITTARIUS — You’re in a difficult position. Things aren’t exactly what they seem, Sagittarius. Your emotions run the show today, and you may jump from one extreme to the other. There’s a good chance that much of what you experience is based on misinformation. Don’t get so caught up in the drama that you fail to recognize the truth of the situation. CAPRICORN — When faced with an emotionally intense situation, you’re likely to flee, Capricorn. You’d rather change the subject to something more lighthearted. This form of escapism is doing nothing to solve the problem. In fact, by avoiding the emotional topic, you’re only creating more friction than if you just approached the problem directly. AQUARIUS — With your psychic abilities, you’re liable to shed some light on issues in which the truth has been unclear for quite a while, Aquarius. You can use your sensitivity to cut to the heart of the matter and expose the truth. This kind of behavior probably won’t come without friction from others. You can almost guarantee that it will. Don’t let it faze you. It’s important to reveal the truth. PISCES — Control issues in your home are apt to be of concern today, Pisces. Be careful about feeding into others’ misconceptions of the situation. You’re dealing with powerful, opinionated forces that aren’t going to want to budge. Someone may have a warped view of the true issue at hand. Lay all the facts on the table before you start drawing any conclusions.

Thought for Today

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: LINDA DYE Case Number: 21PR00194 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Linda Dye A Petition for Probate has been filed by Jacquelyn Quinn in the SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA. The Petition for Probate requests that Jacquelyn Quinn be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. 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: June 17, 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: Steven S.
