New astronauts make history

Expect everything from a Tony-winning musical to Gershwin as Santa Barbara Symphony prepares for in-person concerts

Blue Origin succeeds with 10-minute flight By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

The world’s newest astronauts cheered and laughed Tuesday as they reached the edge of space and made history. You could hear the boisterous joy expressed by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, 57; his brother Mark Bezos, 53; Wally Funk, 82, and Oliver Daemon, 18, of The Netherlands. They cheered with delight as Ms. Funk, who trained with the “Mercury 13” of female astronaut candidates in 1961, and Mr. Daemon became the oldest and youngest astronauts in history. Named after pioneering astronaut Alan Shepard, the New Shepard capsule and rocket went

up 62 miles during Blue Origin’s apparently flawless flight from Van Horn, Texas, at a little past 6 Tuesday morning Pacific time. The rocket traveled more than three times the speed of sound, but it would be impossible to measure exactly how excited the astronauts felt. Ms. Funk and the other astronauts were heard cheering and laughing as they reached the Kármán line, the internationally recognized line between the Earth’s atmosphere and space. They briefly unbuckled their seat belts and floated in a weightless environment. Tuesday’s adventure was a dream-come-true for Mr. Bezos, the world’s richest “Star Trek” Please see SPACE on A3

“I think our audience will enjoy a variety of styles, a variety of genres larger than we’ve ever put together,” said Maestro Nir Kabaretti, music and artistic director of the Santa Barbara Symphony, about the 2021-22 season.

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Pianos, violins, Bach and Beethoven are all great, but there’s more to orchestral music than those elements.

And the Santa Barbara Symphony is determined to prove that with a diverse season that celebrates the return of inperson concerts at The Granada and features everything from a full-fledged musical to jazz improvisation.

Not that pianos will be forgotten. At one point, fans will see a husband-and-wife duo play together on a single piano, their hands crossing over each other’s as they merge their musical souls together. Please see SYMPHONY on A2

Casey Tolivar, 29, of Santa Barbara has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of Bradley Tolivar, 76. Santa Barbara County District Attorney Joyce E. Dudley announced Tuesday that a felony complaint containing three charges, including first-degree murder, has been filed against Mr. Tolivar. The complaint charges Casey Tolivar with willful, premeditated and deliberate first-degree murder in connection with the beating death of Bradley Tolivar, occurring approximately July 11, according to a statement from the district attorney’s office. It is also alleged that the defendant used a deadly weapon causing death: a 33½ - by 2- by 2inch steel bar, according to the district attorney’s office. In addition, Casey Tolivar is also charged with attempted premeditated murder for an assault of a second victim occurring on July 15, the district attorney’s office announced. In addition, it is alleged that during the attempted murder, Mr. Tolivar used a rock as a deadly weapon.

Mr. Tolivar is also charged with a third charge of assault with a deadly weapon — a glass bottle — on July 15. The defendant was scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday afternoon in Department 8 of the Santa Barbara County Superior Court. The investigation into Mr. Tolivar began after sheriff’s detectives were dispatched to check on the welfare of a subject at approximately 2:35 p.m. July 15 in the 600 block of North La Cumbre Road. That’s when and where they found the decedent, Bradley Tolivar. In a statement Tuesday, Raquel Zick, public information officer for the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office, said an autopsy of the decedent on Tuesday determined the preliminary cause and manner of death to be homicide by blunt force trauma. She said the finalized coroner’s report is pending toxicology, which usually takes between six and eight weeks. The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with additional information is asked to contact Detective Adam Alegria of the sheriff’s office at 805-681-4100.

32 COVID-19 cases, one death reported By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Santa Barbara County on Tuesday reported 32 new COVID-19 cases and one death. The decedent was in the 50-69 age group, had underlying conditions and lived in the area of Lompoc, Mission Hills and Vandenberg Village. The death was not associated with a congregate care site, according to the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department. Twelve of Tuesday’s new COVID-19 cases were in Santa Maria, and nine were in Santa Barbara and unincorporated

Mission Canyon. The others included three in Goleta, three in the unincorporated Goleta Valley and Gaviota, two in the Santa Ynez Valley and two in unincorporated North County areas and the city of Guadalupe. One case is pending. The case numbers report comes at a time when concern has grown over the Delta variant. This week, the public health department advised everyone, including fully vaccinated people, to wear masks inside grocery or retail stores, theaters and family entertainment centers. Los Angeles County issued a mask

mandate for all people in indoor public spaces last weekend, but Santa Barbara County at this point is limiting its guidelines to a recommendation. The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department said businesses are urged to adopt universal masking requirements for customers entering indoor areas of their businesses. “Workplaces must comply with Cal/ OSHA requirements, and fully vaccinated employees are encouraged to wear masks indoors if their employer has not confirmed the vaccination status of those around them,” according to a news release from the health department.

“It remains critically important that we continue to practice safety guidelines such as staying home if feeling ill, wearing a mask in public indoor settings, avoiding crowded events and practicing good hand hygiene,” said Dr. Henning Ansorg, county health officer. For masks to work properly, they need to completely cover people’s nose and mouth, the health department noted. The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department explained it will revisit its mask recommendation in the coming weeks as it monitors transmission rates, hospitalizations, deaths and increasing vaccination rates throughout

the region. Santa Barbara County data is updated on weekdays at publichealthsbc.org, which is where the News-Press gets its daily COVID-19 numbers. “We have a method of preventing severe illness and hospitalization from the COVID-19 Delta variant which we know is effective, and that is getting vaccinated,” said Dr. Van Do-Reynoso, the Santa Barbara public health director. “It remains critical for protection against infection, especially with circulating variants.” email: dmason@newspress.com

TRAFFIC, CRIME AND FIRE BLOTTER Police respond to firearm report SANTA BARBARA — Santa Barbara police officers responded at 7:20 a.m. Tuesday to the 200 block of South Voluntario Street to a report of a subject brandishing a firearm at family

members. The family called 9-1-1 to report that a family member was holding a gun to his head and brandished the firearm at others. Officers arrived on scene and established a perimeter. Sgt. Ethan Ragsdale, the police department’s public information officer, said an

officer assigned to the Crisis Negotiations Response Team arrived and talked with the subject, who appeared distraught and was initially uncooperative with officers. The CNRT officer was able to quickly build rapport with the subject and convinced the individual to surrender without incident.

After the situation was deemed safe, officers found a firearm hidden in the tank portion of a toilet, Sgt. Ragsdale said in a news release. After close inspection by officers, it was determined to be a replica firearm. Concerned for the subject’s welfare, officers contacted Santa Barbara County Crisis and

Recovery Emergency Services. CARES responded to the scene to assist officers and conducted a welfare assessment of the distraught subject. A judge authorized a firearm restraining order to prevent the

subject from purchasing firearms in the near future. The name of the individual involved is being withheld for confidentiality. — Dave Mason

baritone Cedric Barry, pianist Natasha Kislenko and the entire symphony. “There will be a lot of Gershwin, some Broadway, some film music, and we will honor Elmer Bernstein,” Maestro Kabaretti said. Mr. Bernstein is known for writing memorable film themes and scores, including arguably one of the most famous Western themes for “The Magnificent Seven” (1960), although Maestro Kabaretti said he doesn’t know whether the orchestra will play that number. • 7:30 p.m. Jan. 15 and 3 p.m. Jan. 16. The “Fandango Picante” concert will feature violin soloist Anne Akiko Meyers, playing “Fandango,” a new piece written for her by Mexican composer Arturo Marquez. The work will make its world premiere during a Los Angeles Philharmonic concert at the Hollywood Bowl a few months before the Santa Barbara Symphony concert. “We will be the second orchestra in the world to play it,” Maestro Kabaretti said with a big smile. The concert will also feature the orchestra playing Rimsky-Korsakov’s Capriccio Espagnol, known for its Spanish folk themes. “Hopefully a lot of our friends in the Hispanic community will be excited to come and hear the tunes as we open our doors to a larger group,” Maestro Kabaretti said. • 7:30 p.m. Feb. 19 and 3 p.m. Feb. 20. The “Beethoven in Bloom” concert will feature Michelle Temple, the symphony’s principal harpist. In addition to hearing the music, the audience will see images on screens. The orchestra will play “The Great Circle” by Emmy-winning composer Jeff Beal, who almost lost his home in the 2017 Thomas Fire. It will include images of the devastation, the heroism of first responders and images of rebirth from the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden’s photographic research collection. “I love his (Mr. Beal’s) music,” Maestro Kabaretti said. In addition, the symphony will play Beethoven’s “Pastoral Symphony” (Symphony No. 6). • 7:30 p.m. March 19 and 3 p.m. March 20. “Sonic Boom” will feature organ soloist Cameron Carpenter. Maestro Kabaretti explained why the concert is called “Sonic Boom.”

During Gershwin’s Concerto in F, the orchestra is substituting the usual piano soloist with a jazz trio, specifically the Marcus Roberts Trio. It consists of pianist Marcus Roberts, drummer Jason Marsalis and contrabassist Rodney Jordan. The trio will do something that wasn’t done in Gershwin’s day. Maestro Kabaretti said the three musicians will improvise.

City Council OKs natural gas ban

City Council is blocking natural gas infrastructure in new construction. Council members approved the natural gas ban at their regular meeting Tuesday. No votes were cast against the ordinance.

“You know, the organ itself has a huge sound, a massive sound, but it’s not often played as a solo instrument in an orchestra. Normally, it’s part of church services,” Maestro Kabaretti said. “We’re playing French pieces by two composers who thought the organ should be part of the concert experience.” The concert will be a different experience for audiences more accustomed to seeing an organ in a church than as a solo instrument during an orchestral concert. And “the boom is like when you have the last movement of the organ,” Maestro Kabaretti said with a smile. The concert will feature the suspenseful Poulenc Concerto for Organ, Timpani and Strings. The program will be in a partnership with the Santa Barbara Museum of Art and its “Through Vincent’s Eyes: Van Gogh and His Sources.” • 7:30 p.m. April 23 and 3 p.m. April 24. It’s time for “Romance in a New Key.” Piano duo Sivan Silver and Gil Garburg return to Santa Barbara for the world premiere of a reimagined composition of Robert Schummann’s Piano Quartet. Brahms arranged it to be played by two pianists, and Austrian composer Richard Dünser went a step further for an arrangement for two pianists with strings. Typically piano duets are performed with two facing grand pianos. But Maestro Kabaretti explained the husband-and-wife team will play on the same piano, with their hands crossing over each other’s. This also is in partnership with the Santa Barbara Museum of Art and its “Through Vincent’s Eyes: Van Gogh and His Sources.” • 7:30 p.m. May 21 and 3 p.m. May 22. The symphony will perform its “Riffing on Gershwin” concert. During Gershwin’s Concerto in F, the orchestra is substituting the usual piano soloist with a jazz trio, specifically the Marcus Roberts Trio. It consists of pianist Marcus Roberts, drummer Jason Marsalis and contrabassist Rodney Jordan. The trio will do something that wasn’t done in Gershwin’s day. Maestro Kabaretti said the three musicians will improvise. “That makes this sort of a jam session on a piano concerto, which is very much something that Gershwin would have loved to do. But a hundred years ago, you wouldn’t dare,” Maestro Kabaretti said. The symphony will also play Symphony No. 1 by early 20th-century composer Florence Price, who’s recognized as the first black woman who was a symphonic composer. Her symphony made its debut in 1933 with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and was inspired by Dvorak’s New World Symphony. Like Dvorak, Ms. Price incorporated the sounds of folk tunes and hymn-like melodies to depict America and its diversity. The concert is presented in partnership with Jazz@ the Lobero.

And Bach will be honored as well during a diverse, 2021-22 season that will also feature show tunes and ultimately a Sonic Boom. More about that later. “I think our audience will enjoy a variety of styles, a variety of genres larger than we’ve ever put together,” Nir Kabaretti, the symphony’s music and artistic director, told the News-Press Tuesday. “It’s part of our mission, to be inclusive,” Maestro Kabaretti said, speaking via Zoom from the Tel Aviv area in Israel. The Santa Barbara resident said he hopes to bring new listeners to the symphony’s audience. Here’s a look at the season, concert by concert. • “Kismet,” Oct. 21-24. (The symphony’s season subscription includes the performances at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 23 and 3 p.m. Oct. 24.) The symphony will perform behind a fullfledged production of the Tony-winning musical, which is being produced by Sara Miller McCune and will feature a mix of Broadway and local stars as well as State Street Ballet dancers. “Kismet” is inspired by the magic and romance of the “Tales of the Arabian Nights” and follows poet Hajj and the forbidden love of his daughter Marsinah. It includes the hit song “Stranger in Paradise.” Emmy-winning director Lonny Price will direct the production, which features choreography by William Soleau. “It’s a really beautiful score,” said Maestro Kabaretti, who is providing the musical direction. “It’s very colorful music with a lot of rhythm.” • 7:30 p.m. Nov. 13 and 3 p.m. Nov. 14. “Royal Fireworks” will feature guest conductor Nicolas McGegan and symphony principal violist Erik Rynearson. The symphony will celebrate the 300th anniversary of J.S. Bach’s concertos by playing Brandenburg Concerto No. 4. Maestro Kabaretti said Bach was a genius whose timeless music speaks to everyone and is ideal for a concert saluting baroque music. Mr. Rynearson, principal violist for both the Santa Barbara Symphony and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, will play Telemann’s Viola Concerto. Maestro Kabaretti noted the audience will get to appreciate the color and sound of the viola. “It’s another way for us to show our audience that music is not just violins and piano.” The concert will also feature Rameau’s Dances from the opera “Nais” and Handel’s “Royal Fireworks” music. • 8:30 p.m. Dec. 31. “New Year’s Eve with the Symphony.” Bob Bernhardt will be back to host a concert of popular music. The program will feature

“We are so incredibly proud of our champions and all our SkillsUSA students who worked hard and competed at the national level,” said Adelina Pozos, Hancock SkillsUSA advisor. “They were great representatives of the college and the SkillsUSA program.” “I exploded with applause when our team received the gold medal at the national competition. It was an amazing moment and one I will not be forgetting any time soon,” said Mr. Avila Estevez. “Overall, we just felt so proud of not only ourselves but also proud of our advisors for helping us get to the national level. They did a marvelous job helping us reach our goals this year.” SkillsUSA is a national organization created to teach students the technical skills required for employment in career technical educational fields, as well as the soft skills required in any modern workplace.

Fifty-two years later on the same date, Mr. Bezos took his own, in Mr. Armstrong’s words, “one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” Viewers at home Tuesday watched the New Shepard capsule and rocket soar until it was a big white dot. Then that dot became two smaller dots as the reusable rocket separated and landed back on earth. After their 10-minute flight, the astronauts returned to the ground, their capsule’s parachutes

After their 10-minute flight, the astronauts returned to the ground, their capsule’s parachutes opening flawlessly. opening flawlessly. The flight was much like Alan Shepard’s historic 1961 flight, a short venture into space and back, but with a much roomier capsule and the biggest windows in the history of space capsules.

Latino Conservation Week taking place Latino Conservation Week, an initiative of the Hispanic Access Foundation, is taking place through Sunday nationally and in Santa Barbara County. It was created to support the Latinx community in getting into the outdoors and participating in ways to protect land, water and air. Santa Barbara nonprofits Los Padres ForestWatch and Wilderness Youth Project are participating in the campaign. “In the five years that I’ve been involved with Latinx Conservation Week, I’ve seen it explode with enthusiasm across the country,” said Graciela Cabello, ForestWatch’s director of youth and community engagement. “It has created a platform for Latinx communities to express our deep appreciation for the environment, public lands and our cultural heritage. Consequently, there are more meaningful relationships built between people and organizations facilitating nature connection, and driving policy and advocacy on conservation issues.” To increase equitable access to the outdoors, California recently passed legislation to establish the Outdoor Equity Grants Program to provide funding for recreation and environmental education opportunities for youth in under-resourced communities. The bill — Assembly Bill 209 — was authored by Sen. Monique Limón, D-Santa Barbara. ForestWatch and Wilderness Youth Project are hosting an Instagram live conversation with Sen. Limón at 4:30 p.m. Friday to discuss the recent legislation. To participate, visit the Los Padres ForestWatch Instagram page @lpforestwatch. “California is home to over 280 state parks and millions of acres of public lands that exhibit the natural beauty and history of our state,” Assemblymember Limón said in a news release. “However, access to outdoor experiences is often out of reach for communities and students of low-income communities.” For more information, visit latinoconservationweek.com. — Dave Mason

Afterward, Mr. Bezos, who stepped down from Amazon, told reporters he was going to split his time between Blue Origin, the space company behind Tuesday’s flight, and the Bezos Earth Fund.

Poll workers sought for recall election The Santa Barbara County Registrar of Voters office is seeking volunteers to serve as poll workers for the Sept. 14 gubernatorial recall election. Voters will decide on that day whether to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom, as well as who should replace him if the recall passes. (A more than 50 percent vote is required for the recall to pass.) Volunteers are needed Sept. 14 to staff the precincts and polling places. “Poll workers are on the frontline of democracy. Without them, voting does not happen,” said Joseph E. Holland, the county clerk-recorder-assessor and registrar of voters, in a news release. Volunteers at polling places receive a stipend of $180 to $240 for Election Day and to attend training. Each polling place is led by a supervisor who oversees one or more precinct boards. Each board consists of one inspector and two clerks. In addition, each polling place will need a traffic clerk and a ballot reception clerk. To be a poll worker, you must: • Be a registered voter in the state. Or you must be lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the U.S. and otherwise be eligible to register to vote except for the lack of a U.S. citizenship. • Be able to follow written and verbal instructions. • Be available to serve on Sept. 14 from approximately 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. or until all of the closing procedures have been completed. • Must be available to attend a mandatory training class. According to the news release, Howard Hudson volunteers as a poll worker and as an Adopt-A-Poll organizer for the Santa Barbara Host Lions Club because he wants to be a part of the democratic process. “I feel that as a citizen I am obligated to do what I can to help with the process and I encourage others to get involved and participate,” Mr. Hudson said. “Election Day is busy, but rewarding and I get to meet others supporting our democratic process and right to vote.” To learn more , go to countyofsb.org/care/ elections/officers/information.sbc or https://bit.ly/ 3im18Mw. — Dave Mason

Goleta and Santa Ynez Valley libraries expand hours By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The libraries continue to follow COVID-19 safety guidelines, and patrons who choose to come inside the library for Express Service must wear a face covering (ages 2 and over) and maintain at least six feet of distance from others. Gloves and hand sanitizer are available at the entrance. Restrooms are now open at all three branches as well. Each branch operates Express Service in a slightly different way: Goleta Valley Library allows up to 50 patrons in the building on a first-come, first-served basis on the hour and half hour. Patrons have 25 minutes to spend inside, picking out material and checking it out on a self-checkout machine,

using an Express computer, and/ or browsing the Friends of the Library book sale. Solvang Library can accommodate up to 18 people at a time inside the building on a first-come, first-served basis.

Stage Left presents ‘Seussical the Musical’ at San Marcos High Theater By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

You may not like “Green Eggs and Ham,” but you’ll love “Seussical the Musical,” presented by Stage Left Productions at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at San Marcos High School Theater, 4750 Hollister Ave. Celebrating its 21st year, Stage Left Productions is back inside the theater after the pandemic pushed the annual summer performing arts program outside with a virtual show in 2020. The Seussical cast includes 60 performers, ages 10 through 17. COVID protocols will be in place; the audience must wear masks. The theater capacity is 1,200 and allows for ample social distancing. Based on the book “Horton Hears a Who” and other whimsical stories by Dr. Seuss, “Seussical” features “The Cat in the Hat,” “Horton the Elephant,” Gertrude McFuzz, JoJo and many other beloved characters in this musical created by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty. The story takes place in the magical Jungle of Nool, where Horton discovers and tries to protect the tiny people of Whoville who live on a speck of dust. Horton faces ridicule and a trial, but Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. This seriously silly, wildly witty tale of

love and imagination shows the power of friendship, family and community in overcoming life’s biggest challenges. Stage Left, created and developed by Shana Lynch Arthurs and Steven Lovelace, offers an intensive four-week summer performing arts program with instruction in dancing, singing, acting, set and costume design, and technical training. Ms. Arthurs teaches performing arts at Crane Country Day School, and Mr. Lovelace is a choreographer and former director of Santa Barbara Dance Arts. The Stage Left team includes Sarah Eglin, musical direction and vocal training; Jonathan Mitchell leads sets, lighting and sound; and costume design is under the direction of Q Le. Email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

FYI “Suessical the Musical” will be presented at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at San Marcos High School Theater, 4750 Hollister Ave. Tickets available at the door: $15 general admission, $25 reserve seating. For more information, visit www.stageleftsb. com or email stageleft@cox.net.

‘Artist’s Journey’

Mara Abboud to speak about colorful career at Santa Barbara Club By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

hen Mara Abboud was 5 years old and her mother kept buying her coloring books, she balked, saying, “No, no, no.” One day, her mother came home and found her daughter drawing on brown paper grocery bags. “From then on, she bought white butcher paper for me to draw on. I never stopped.” So began what Ms. Abboud calls her “Artist’s Journey,” which she will chronicle in a luncheon talk presented July 28 by the Art Foundation of Santa Barbara. A display of her colorful works will be on view during the event from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. in the garden at the Santa Barbara Club, 1105 Chapala St. The longtime resident of Santa Barbara is a well-known artist whose dramatic paintings of exotic animals and flowers are in prestigious collections throughout the United States and Europe. A number of local residents treasure her work. “Mara told us she refers to our home as the ‘Abboud Abode’ since we have decorated with 12 or more of her paintings over the years. We are surrounded by the beauty of her art,” said Joyce and Roland Bryan. “Mara’s images have a radiant presence that you can actually feel when you stand before them,” said Dirk Brandts, artist and filmmaker. “Mara Abboud is an accomplished local artist whose

boundless creativity is an inspiration. Her works of art have to be seen to be believed, and I am a proud collector of her pieces,” said George Leis, president and COO, Montecito Bank & Trust. “Having a beautiful painting from Mara Abboud brings me joy and inner peace every time I look at it. Her amazing talent fills my soul,” said Andrea Eltinge. “Selecting an image to grace your wall is as difficult as picking your partner. Mara Abboud’s images create a relationship that becomes a partner,” said Dana Newquist. Although Ms. Abboud graduated from the New England School of Design in Boston, attended the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence and studied art in Florence, Italy, she doubted she could make a living as a fine artist so she became a gift, accessories and textile designer in New York City. “But I kept painting in my spare time, and after three years, my paintings began to sell. I’ve always been drawn to unique images from my imagination, which is why my signature style is very evident,” she said. “In school, I never followed what others were doing in class. I had to follow what was in my heart.” Most of her pieces are large, running in size from 24 by 36 inches to 48 by 50 inches. In recent years, Ms. Abboud has been focusing on mosaic tile wall hangings after finishing a large outdoor installation on ceramic tile Please see ABBOUD on B2

MARA ABBOUD PAINTINGS

Santa Barbara artist Mara Abboud revealed that after the mudslides and COVID-19, she went through “a very dark period, and for the very first time in my career, I didn’t paint for almost two years. Then I had this vision of ‘Soulful Journey’ in my mind, and she restored and renewed me, giving me the desire to paint again.”

Diversions horoscope • puzzles

By Dave Green

ARIES — You might experience a great deal of emotional confusion, Aries. There’s a debate brewing inside you, and you’re having a hard time deciding whether to be practical or more fanciful. Looking to others for help may only add to the problem, so take other people’s advice with a grain of salt. If nothing seems clear, wait out the storm and proceed when you have a better handle on the weather. TAURUS — It will be a challenge to keep your emotions on an even keel today, Taurus. Conflict may be brewing and you might fear it could get out of hand. Everything will work out. Don’t add to the pressure. The best solution is to escape into reverie and come back to Earth when the storm has passed. Don’t try to untangle the knots if they won’t give. GEMINI — Tension may arise today, Gemini. It’s possible that you’re either too dreamy or too practical to deal effectively with the issue. It’s important to strike a balance. The toughest part will be finding others who agree with you. The people you’re in conflict with aren’t likely to budge from their position. You may have to be flexible in order to reach a compromise. CANCER — Yesterday’s trajectory may run into trouble today, Cancer. Your intrinsically dreamy nature is dragging down the action you initiated. This conflict could create tension that will be difficult to resolve. Your emotions may deceive you, so try not to get pulled off course by a passing whim. Try to keep your feelings grounded. LEO — Try to align your mind with your emotions today, Leo. It’s possible that a powerful yet subtle force is slowly pulling you off track. If so, you should think about taking a break and doing some fast-paced physical activity to get your heart rate up and blood pumping. Jogging will help clear your head and enable you to think more rationally about decisions you need to make. VIRGO — An emotional issue could be rubbing you the wrong way, Virgo. Your impulse is to escape. Try to do so in a healthy manner. Go see a movie or read a book. Don’t fall prey to the temptation to indulge in alcohol or food. This will only push the problems away temporarily. When Monday, November 16, 2015 they resurface again, they may be even harder to handle.

LIBRA — Your artistic side wants to take to the airwaves in some way, Libra. Perhaps you should consider building a website or becoming a commentator on a local radio show. Your dreams need a vehicle in order to reach their audience. Find the means. You have the ability to inspire a many people. Take this ability seriously and make use of your creative talents. SCORPIO — It may be apparent that what was so light and active yesterday is running into a few roadblocks today, Scorpio. You’re suddenly heading into a brick wall with some of the projects you’ve been working on. Suddenly there’s a more reserved tone to things and you may lose precious momentum. Use this time to back off and reassess the wisdom of your direction. SAGITTARIUS — The pace of things is likely to slow compared to what it was yesterday, Sagittarius. This is probably best. Take this time to plan and stabilize. You’ve plowed, sown, and reaped the fields. Now stop and assess what you’ve produced and decide what to do with it. Take things one step at a time and don’t get ahead of yourself. Be patient and things will naturally come your way. CAPRICORN — There may be dreaminess about your emotions today, Capricorn, which could keep you from focusing on the task at hand. The aspects dictate that people may be stubborn and confused - and you’re likely to be one of them. Your mind may seem to be going in two different directions and you aren’t sure which way to proceed. Try to incorporate more of your dreams into your waking reality. AQUARIUS — Little voices whisper in your ear and ask you to take flight and join them in the clouds, Aquarius. There’s tension between what your heart and mind tell you. They’re pulling you in very different directions. Don’t be surprised if today’s energy leaves you confused by sunset. Don’t stress about making hard decisions or commitments. PISCES — Something or someone may prod you to take action today, Pisces. It may be best if you beat them to it and motivate yourself. Break away from the herd and go wherever you want to go. It’s likely that you will run into conflict regarding an issue you feel strongly about. People may be stubborn, so prepare for a stalemate rather than any sort of resolution.

CODEWORD PUZZLE

Thought for Today

Codeword is a fun game with simple rules, and a great way to test your knowledge of the English language. Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. 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.

Si no responde antes del fin de dia el 13 de Agosto, 2021, la corte puede decidir en su contra sin escuchar su versión. Lea la información a continuación.) IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA ANACAPA DIVISION Case Number (Número del Caso) 21CV02432 All persons interested in the matter listed above and described below may contest the legality or validity of the matter by appearing and filing a written answer to the complaint not later than August 13, 2021. Persons who contest the legality or validity of the matter will not be subject to punitive action, such as wage garnishment or seizure of their real or personal property. Unless you respond timely, a default will be entered upon application by Plaintiffs, and Plaintiffs may apply to the Court for the relief demanded in the Complaint. You may seek the advice of an attorney in any matter connected with the complaint or this summons. Such attorney should be consulted promptly so that your pleading may be filed or entered within the time required by this summons. DETAILED SUMMARY OF THE MATTER THAT PLAINTIFFS SEEK TO INVALIDATE: Plaintiffs/Petitioners have filed their Petition for Writ of Mandamus and Complaint (“Complaint”), which seeks, among other things, a judicial decree, pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure section 860, et seq., determining that the following actions taken by the Santa Barbara County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (“District”) and the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors, acting in its capacity as the Board of Directors of the District (“Board of Directors”), are invalid and unenforceable. On April 20, 2021, the Board of Directors adopted Resolution No. 21-73: A Resolution to Approve Water Management Tools Amendment (Amendment 21) to State Water Project Water Supply Contract Subject to Certain Limitations to Maintain Local Water Supply (“Resolution No. 21-73”), which imposes significant conditions, limitations and restrictions on Plaintiffs’/Petitioners’ rights to the State Water Project (“SWP”) pursuant to the 1963 State Water Supply Contract (“SWP Contract”) between the District and the State of California’s Department of Water Resources (“DWR”). Resolution No. 21-73 declares that the District, in some cases, and the Board of Directors, in other cases, may unilaterally condition or reject certain transfers and exchanges of SWP water that otherwise would be permitted by the SWP Contract, as amended by the Water Management Amendment, by conditioning or withholding the District’s execution of any agreements required to implement such transfers and exchanges, notwithstanding Petitioners’/Plaintiffs’ approval of, and agreement to be bound by, any such transfer or exchange. Petitioners/Plaintiffs are the Central Coast Water Authority (“CCWA”), a joint powers agency, and its eight public agency members: the Carpinteria Valley Water District, City of Buellton, City of Guadalupe, City of Santa Barbara, City of Santa Maria, Goleta Water District, Montecito Water District, and Santa Ynez River Water Conservation District, Improvement District No. 1, all of whom provide retail water supply service to customers (ratepayers) within Santa Barbara County. Pursuant to a series of agreements in the 1980s and early 1990s, the District transferred all of its rights and obligations to the SWP Contract to Plaintiffs/Petitioners. Among other things, CCWA administers the SWP Contract and delivers SWP water to its members and other parties who have contracted with CCWA for the delivery of SWP water (collectively, “CCWA Participants”). But because the District remains the party to the SWP Contract, whenever DWR requires the District’s execution of an agreement, such as amendment of the SWP Contract or an agreement for the transfer or exchange of SWP water (“DWR Agreement”), CCWA must obtain the District’s execution of such agreement. The District’s adoption of Resolution No. 21-73 damaged CCWA and the CCWA Participants by disrupting their existing plans and future planning for the implementation of the Water Management Amendment, including but not limited to any proposed transfer or exchange of SWP water pursuant to the Water Management Amendment, which such CCWA Participants had or do determine is in the best interest of their customers (the ratepayers), if applicable. Future damages will accrue as CCWA Participants are deprived of the benefits of the Water Management Amendment as a result of the direct and proximate cause of the conditions, restrictions and limitations imposed by Resolution No. 21-73. The CCWA Participants’ damages include, but are not limited to, increased administrative costs, lost sales of surplus water supplies, higher costs to manage water supplies, and increased costs of water service. Resolution No. 21-73 is invalid and should be declared unenforceable for the following reasons: 1.

The District has no right or authority to impose conditions on, much less withhold its approval of, any DWR Agreement for which CCWA has approved and agreed to be bound, including but not limited to the Water Management Amendment or any other amendment to the SWP Contract.

Resolution No. 21-73 violates CCWA’s rights under the Transfer of Financial Responsibility Agreement and each and all of the 19 Water Supply Retention Agreements, which rights were assigned to CCWA, because the District has no right to impose conditions on amendments to the SWP Contract or CCWA’s transfer or exchange of SWP water pursuant to the SWP Contract.

In enacting Resolution No. 21-73, the District acted in excess of statutory authority under the Santa Barbara County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Act (State Statutes of 1955, Ch. 1057), which prohibits the District from affecting, in any way, the water management authority and obligations of public water suppliers within Santa Barbara County, including CCWA and its members.

Resolution No. 21-73 will deprive the CCWA Participants’ of their ability to maximize beneﬁcial use of their SWP water supplies and will result in a waste of water and therefore violates Article X, Section 2 of the California Constitution.
