District seeking funds for $7.8 million bond measure By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Cold Spring School District Board of Trustees met Monday during its regular meeting time with a full agenda. Reopening and renovations were the biggest items. The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department and the California Department

of Public Health approved the district’s waiver to reopen, Superintendent Dr. Amy Alzina announced on Twitter Tuesday afternoon. Merso Labs tested all the district’s teachers and some community members for COVID-19, and the staff tested negative. Testing will return the second Thursday of each month. On-campus classes will start on Tuesday. Dr. Alzina said during the board meeting

that parents are happy the district applied for the waiver, and the school can expect 177 students. Only 20 seek distance-learning accommodations. One teacher will be dedicated to teaching students online. The teacher wasn’t comfortable returning in person, so the district Please see cold spring on A10

Supervisors show support for Prop 15 By JOSH GREGA

Proposition would require commercial and industrial properties with more than $3 million in holdings to be taxed based on their market value.

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors voted to adopt a resolution in support of Proposition 15 during Tuesday’s meeting. The board voted 3-2 in support of the resolution in favor of the statewide ballot proposition that would amend the California State Constitution to require commercial and industrial properties with more than $3 million in holdings to be taxed based on their market value. Fifth District Supervisor Steve Lavagnino and board vice chair and 4th District Supervisor Peter Adam voted against the resolution. The item’s board letter from Tuesday’s meeting describes Proposition 15 as a corrective to Proposition 13, which was approved by California voters in 1978. Under the property tax system created by Proposition 13, residential, commercial, and industrial properties are taxed according to their purchase price, with tax limited to a

maximum of 1% of that price with an annual adjustment of either the inflation rate or 2% per year, whichever is lower. According to the board letter, the California Legislative Analyst’s Office has found that the rate at which most properties grow outpaces 2% per year, making the taxable value less than the market value. Under Proposition 15, properties with the exception of those zoned as commercial agriculture and those whose business owners have $3 million worth in holdings Please see PROP 15 on A2

City Council denies appeal to grant project design approval Santa Barbara Unified won’t seek school waiver By GRAYCE MCCORMICK

District schools will only be open for small cohorts

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara Unified School District announced Monday night that it would not apply for a waiver to reopen elementary schools. Instead, it will make use of the county Public Health Department’s policy on small cohorts. When deciding if the district would apply for waiver, administrators surveyed parents to see what they’d prefer. It was almost even between reopening and distance learning. The parents who preferred distance learning were afraid that others wouldn’t wear masks or practice personal hygiene, Superintendent Hilda Maldonado told the News-Press. Through the small cohort model, schools will start welcoming in students struggling with the distance-learning model, starting with those who need accommodation most. Ms. Maldonado said she hopes to start this Monday, but there’s a lot of work involved in setting it up. She plans on catering the cohorts to the families that need it. The groups prioritized for small cohorts are: students with moderate to severe disabilities; housing insecure; multilingual

testing. The students will be taught in a traditional manner, with the teacher delivering instruction in the classroom. The students will be physically distanced, though. Children of district teachers will continue to receive childcare and stay enrolled online. Football, cross country, volleyball, water polo and sideline cheer practices will begin Monday.

Athletes must maintain physical distancing and are limited to skills and conditioning throughout practice. No equipment can be shared, and practice must be outdoors. The district plans to resume all other sports in October. For more on how local schools will resume athletic activities, please see A10. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

The Santa Barbara City Council unanimously denied an appeal of the city’s Single Family Design Board’s project design approval for expansions to a single residential unit at 160 Conejo Road. The project gained design approval March 2, 2020, but it was appealed by neighbors Daniel and Shelley Berger who claimed several issues, including inaccurate noticing, lack of communication from the applicant and concerns with the health, safety and welfare of the property. In a statement during the council meeting Tuesday, the Bergers said the property is not kept and poses a fire hazard and a health hazard due to lack of proper sewage upkeep. In addition, Mrs. Berger shared stories of individuals living on the property who were not permitted to live there and allegedly dealt drugs from the property. However, Dan Dumong, who has now taken ownership of the property, said the intention of the expansions to the unit are to address these problems. The expansions include new windows and doors, upgrading existing windows and doors and new landscaping. “The property does have a sorted past, but that was prior to our ownership,” he said. “That was hardly our doing and we should not be held responsible for that. We cleaned the debris

and trash that was left from the squatters of that property to keep those people from coming back to it.” To address the concerns of the neighbors, the council put in a request for staff to monitor the property. “I’m deeply concerned by what appears to be a pattern of neglect that isn’t just unsightly, but truly dangerous,” Mayor Pro Tempore Kirsten Sneddon said. “The addition I have no problem with. What does give me pause is the safety aspect.” The senior planner of the project, Irma Unzueta, assured that there have been no new enforcement cases on the property since the new ownership, and it is intended to be a single family residence. “This is really the pathway to fixing all the problems I’ve heard about,” said council member Jim Jordan. “I hear and recognize what the neighbors are saying, but to me, this leads to making improvements.” In other news, the council unanimously approved a onetime allocation of $50,000 to fund the Santa Barbara Better Together Fund Small Business Grant Assistance Program, which will be matched by the Santa Barbara Foundation, resulting in $100,000 to fund small businesses. This comes after the city received $1,154,592 of coronavirus relief funds through the state.

Santa Ynez Valley schools have received a boost to help meet the unique challenges of distance learning, courtesy of the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians Foundation. The foundation announced Tuesday that it has delivered $100,000 to local schools. The funds are aimed at helping educators meet the high-tech needs and the various challenges that remote learning has presented to start the 2020-21 school year. The Remote Learning Resources grants were determined based on each school’s expressed need and its student enrollment. Santa Ynez Valley High School, which enrolls 853 students, received the top amount of $32,175, said Veronica V. Sandoval, spokeswoman for the foundation. The high school has taken a creative approach in recent weeks to reduce the distance some students may be feeling as they learn from home. “This donation to our school district has allowed us to fund a ‘community liaison’ position that will provide a critical point of contact with, and support for, valley families that are experiencing unique struggles with facilitating distance learning for their children,� Scott Cory, Superintendent of the Santa Ynez Valley High Union School District, said in a statement. “The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians continues to be amazing community partners with us.� The grant program was developed to help students address some of the unforeseen costs caused by COVID-19 restrictions. Along with SYVHS, 11 other schools receive donations, including: Ballard Elementary; Dunn High School; Dunn Middle School; Jonata Middle School; Los Olivos Elementary; Oak Valley Elementary; Santa Ynez Charter School; Santa Ynez Elementary; Santa Ynez Valley Christian Academy; Solvang Elementary; and The Family School. The grants ranged from $2,500 up to $14,625, Ms. Sandoval said. The donations to Oak Valley Elementary and Jonata Middle School will be used to help students gain internet access, said Randal Haggard, superintendent of the Buellton Union School District.

Santa Ynez Valley High School received the top grant from the foundation, which delivered $100,000 to Santa Ynez Valley schools to help educators meet the challenges posed by distance learning.

“We have students who live on ranches and in areas that have shadow spots for cell service and wifi access, and connecting those families can be a significant expense,� Mr. Haggard said in a statement. “These funds will help defray some of those costs. Also, it was the tribe’s generosity that helped us kick-start our one-toone technology program, so this donation will be another shot in the arm for that effort.� Mr. Haggard added that the donations show the strength of the local community and is a testament to supporting the local youth. “At a time when we probably use the word unprecedented too frequently, this is truly a situation we’ve never experienced before,� Mr. Haggard said of distance learning during a pandemic. “A donation like this meets the immediate needs. I can’t say enough about how grateful we are

to have our community reaching out and being a safety net during this incredibly difficult time.� Over the years, the Chumash foundation has donated more than $25 million to hundreds of groups, organizations and schools as part of the tribe’s longstanding tradition of giving. Tribal Chairman Kenneth Kahn said the foundation’s board has been inspired by the extraordinary lengths schools have gone to ensure students can succeed given the current learning environment. “Our tribe places a high value on education, and we felt it was important to help our local schools with additional funds during these challenging times,� Mr. Kahn said in a statement. “We’re proud to be part of a community that will go the extra mile to meet the educational needs for our future leaders and innovators.� email: mwhite@newspress.com

The first of two new waterfront drinking and dining restaurants will be making a grand opening Thursday. Salty at the Beach, located on the Santa Barbara Harbor, will be making its debut from 11:30 a.m. until 9 p.m. Thursday. This will be owner Aaron Peterson’s first eatery in Santa Barbara. Mr. Peterson also operates two restaurants in Solvang. The opening of Salty at the Beach will be followed by the opening of CHOMP on the Rocks in early October. Both restaurants are located at 113 Harbor Way, Suite 180, adjacent to the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum. Salty at the Beach boasts an impressive outdoor experience, which can host up to 100 guests. More importantly, all COVID-19 safety and sanitation measures will be in place upon opening, and

indoor dining will resume once allowed as per Santa Barbara County guidelines. In addition, the new full-service restaurants and bars will launch with daily lunch and dinner service, with plans in place for weekend brunch service in 2021. Locals and Santa Barbara tourists will be able to take advantage of daily happy hour deals at both establishments, plus a late-night happy hour upstairs at Salty at the Beach. Some of the menu items available on opening day include a deviled egg trio, popcorn rock shrimp, warm pretzel bites with sea salt, smoked gouda and cheddar sauce, spicy honey mustard, birria-style chicken nachos, miso salmon, steak and frites, and more. The location will also be offering its specialty cocktails such as its endless summer mai tais, the Salty Beach, classic cocktails, and more, including imported and domestic beers,

ove over, Yoda. Yogurt is here. “I got a note from (‘Star Wars’ creator) George Lucas, who said, ‘Too bad I didn’t see you audition for Yoda. You would have been splendid in the part,’” filmmaker Mel Brooks told the News-Press in 2015 before his appearance that year at a UCSB Arts & Lectures event in Montecito. Mr. Brooks played Yogurt, a funny take on Yoda, in “Spaceballs” (1987), his spoof of “Star Wars.” “He (Mr. Lucas) loved that I did ‘Spaceballs,’” Mr. Brooks said by phone from his Santa Monica home. “He didn’t sue me for ripping off ‘Star Wars’ because he said ‘Satire is free.’” And as long as people love “Star Wars,” they’ll laugh their heads off at “Spaceballs.” Spoofing popular culture has made Mr. Brooks’ movies cinematic treasures. They remain popular as viewers rediscover them at home on DVDs, TV or streaming services (Amazon Prime in particular) during the pandemic. “If we’re familiar with the references, we can enjoy the comedy so much more,” Mr. Brooks told the News-Press in 2015. “All the kids who saw ‘Star Wars’ loved ‘Spaceballs.’ “The strange thing that happened was the kids between 9 and 14, who saw ‘Spaceballs’ first, wrote, ‘What’s so funny about ‘Star Wars?’ Yours is much funnier.” “Spaceballs” poked fun not only at the first “Star Wars” movie with jokes and visual puns (what a way to comb a desert!), but also incorporated some “Star Trek” humor and great acting by Bill Pullman as Lone Star, a cross between Han Solo and Luke Skywalker. Mr. Pullman later would take on a more serious sci-fi role when he played the U.S. president/ fighter pilot in the “Independence Day” movies. And fans loved John

Candy as Barf, the mog (man-dog hybrid). Back in 2015, Mr. Brooks said he and “Spaceballs” co-writer Thomas Meehan were considering a sequel to “Spaceballs.” Mr. Brooks said he’s too old to reprise his role as President Skroob, but noted Yogurt is ageless. Fans have long loved Mr. Brooks’ hilarious and politically incorrect spoofs of Hollywood, Broadway and humanity. The Brooklyn native wrote for “Your Show of Shows” (1950-54 on NBC), the live variety show starring Sid Caesar. He and Buck Henry co-created “Get Smart” (1965-70 on NBC, then CBS), starring Don Adams as the secret agent with the shoe phone. Then Mr. Brooks made his fulllength theatrical movies, starting in 1968 with “The Producers.” It was followed by films such as “Young Frankenstein” (1974), “Silent Movie” (1976) and a movie that spoofed Alfred Hitchcock’s films: “High Anxiety” (1977). “I loved Alfred Hitchcock and loved everything he had ever Please see BROOKS on A6

Continued from Page A5 done,� Mr. Brooks said. “He watched a rough cut of ‘High Anxiety’ with me, and he laughed his head off.� Mr. Brooks starred as Dr. Richard Thornydke, a Harvard psychiatrist with a concealed fear of heights. To complicate matters further, he’s framed for murder. And as a big fan of Westerns, Mr. Brooks poked fun at the genre with “Blazing Saddles� (1974), a funny and politically incorrect movie written by Mr. Brooks and one of his co-writers, Richard Pryor. “Once you clean up a brave picture, you take the soul out of it,� Mr. Brooks said. “Political correctness has no place in humor. Humor has to tell the truth, regardless of whether it’s in bad taste. Taste has nothing to do with humor.� Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder starred in “Blazing Saddles,� and the latter suggested to Mr. Brooks that he spoof the Frankenstein legend. That resulted in “Young Frankenstein� (1974), starring Mr. Wilder as Dr. Frederick Frankenstein, pronounced as “Frankensteen.� “Gene Wilder was never better. It was like his masterpiece,� Mr. Brooks said. “Marty Feldman was incredibly funny as Igor. I thought Peter Boyle (as the monster) was the pillar that supported the entire movie. “I realized I was a very lucky guy to get a company of players with such great diverse talents. You’d give them anything to do, and they could do it.� email: dmason@newspress.com

FYI

against me. I want a relationship with him. I want love and attention, but I don’t know how to get it. Please help! — Not Wanted in the East Dear Not Wanted: What your partner is doing is unhealthy not only for you, but also for your children. He is emotionally abusing you, while at the same time encouraging those children to disrespect you and minimize your feelings. For your sake — and theirs — you must not allow this to continue. If you do, they will think the abuse is normal behavior and perpetuate it in their own relationships when they are older. Offer your partner the option of couples counseling to repair your relationship. If he refuses, go without him. If you do, I promise you will find it enlightening. Please do not procrastinate, because his verbal abuse could escalate.

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.

Pico Iyer to serve as keynote speaker at Heroes of Hospice By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Pico Iyer has learned a lot from the COVID-19 pandemic. “I think the pandemic has taught many of us humility and reminded us of how much we are at the mercy of forces much larger than we are,� the acclaimed author said in a news release. Mr. Iyer will discuss the pandemic further when he headlines the Heroes of Hospice of Santa Barbara at 6 p.m. today. Presented by Hospice of Santa Barbara, the annual event honors community heroes. Mr. Iyer is the keynote speaker for the program, which is virtual this year because of COVID-19. Tonight, Hospice of Santa Barbara will honor Steve Ortiz, president and CEO of the United Way of Santa Barbara County with the Philanthropy Award, Liliana Encinas and Jose Fierros with the Partnership Award, Zoomers to Bloomers with the Volunteer Award and Dr. Lynn Fitzgibbons with the Medical Award. Mr. Iyer will present his talk, “The Open

Door,� live from Japan during the free program. Registration is required; go to https:/ bit.ly/2YqTUha or hospiceofsantabarbara.com. “We are proud to have such an acclaimed speaker while keeping our tradition of honoring local Heroes to express our gratitude, on behalf of our community, for what they have done for all of us — particularly during these difficult past months,� said David Selberg, CEO of Hospice of Santa Barbara. “Our Heroes and speaker deserve recognition for being a positive force in many people’s lives during this time.� Mr. Iyer’s talk will draw on his 46 years of talk with the Dalai Lama, 32 years of living in Japan and more than half a century of visiting Santa Barbara. Mr. Iyer said in the news release that the coronavirus has reminded people of what they value the most, “what gives richness and meaning to our lives.� “I’ve never known a time in my life when more people are more in awe of, and grateful for, those who choose to devote their lives to serving others, like those connected with

hospice institutions. It’s underlined the fact that nothing is more central than compassion, and we’re only as strong as our ability to protect those around us.� said Mr. Iyer, author of “Autumn Light: Season of Fire and Farewells� (Vintage Books, 2019). (His other books vary from “The Global Soul� to “The Lady and the Monk� and the bestselling “The Open Road,� which is about the Dalai Lama.) Mr. Iyer, an essayist for TIME and a regular contributor to the New York Times, also said this year “has brought my attention every hour to blessings I might otherwise take for granted. I have a roof over my head, loved ones who are alive and in relatively good health and savings in the bank. “I get to spend my days in very fortunate and protected places — Santa Barbara and Japan — and those around me have not been stripped of all prospects by the virus,� he said. “Most of all, this season has reminded me of the importance of gratitude and how much we have to be thankful for even in the most difficult of times.� email: dmason@newspress.com

Goleta City Council discusses housing issues By JORGE MERCADO NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Goleta City Council heard three key presentations regarding the concept of housing in the area during Tuesday night’s meeting. While they were presented with three separate presentations, one on the regional housing needs allocation, another providing an update on affordable housing in the area, and the final one on drafting a plan for the homeless, they were all interrelated. In terms of the RHNA, the only obligation needed to meet the state’s criteria is to accommodate their share of the regional housing need and provide for adequate residentially zoned land in that share. To that point, the city is doing “extremely well,� said Peter Imhof, the city’s planning and environmental review director. “We have a certified housing element that the state has recognized is adequate to accommodate that,� Mr. Imhof said. The city has constructed 479 units of the 979 that they are going to construct. They are also doing well in providing housing in the above moderate category. “This year, we do anticipate that there will be a number of affordable units, especially in the village of Los Carneros that will come online and that we’ll get credit for but on balance, we are doing very well on the above moderate category,� Mr. Imhof said. He added that the city is struggling in providing housing in the extremely low, very low, low, and moderate categories.

While discussing the issue, Mayor Pro Tempore Kyle Richards said he would like to see the city engaging in the process needed to provide housing for all groups of people, regardless of income. “I want to make sure that we’re engaging in this RHNA process and that it will have a real positive effect on our community. It’s not just about fulfilling a state-mandated numbers game requirement,� Mr. Richards said. “I want to make sure we are actually getting more affordable housing out of this process and it is not just about density or any of these other things.� He also brought up the issue of gentrification, stating that he would like to avoid gentrifying areas such as Old Town Goleta. Mr. Imhof responded by saying the process actually has active steps in avoiding succumbing to these issues and others. “We’re certainly very aware of those issues on the planning side and we’re doing our best to take a holistic view of all of those issues and there will be opportunities through the development of the different housing scenarios to think about those,� Mr. Imhof said. One of the issues is the expiration dates to keep the housing units at an affordable rate. For example, 20 projects have confirmed expiration dates, including two of which have already expired with an additional five projects, totaling 94 units, set to expire within the next 10 years. Mayor Paula Perotte shared her concern, saying that those expiration dates will be “here before we know it.� “We need to keep this on our radar, keep

talking about this and figure out what we can do to keep those all affordable,� Ms. Perotte said. One way to circumvent the issue, according to Mr. Imhof, is by trying to extend the expiration dates. “If we are poised to lose affordable units and we find a way to buy them back or extend the terms, then we get credit for those and we get to count those parts of RHNA. That’s one way in which we can meet the reader and that’s a perfectly valid move because it really does preserve affordable housing,� Mr. Imhof said. In terms of homelessness, some of the city’s goals include increasing access to critical services, reducing the impacts of homelessness on the community, and preventing at-risk individuals from becoming homeless. Some short term objectives that the city hopes to accomplish, that members of the community were also in favor of, include establishing mobile showers, a warming center in the community, partnering with local nonprofits to provide job training opportunities, and more. Councilmember James Kyriaco shared his frustration with the state, however, in terms of their lack of support. “Until the state steps up and decides to truly be a partner with communities like ours that are trying to do our best, not just for affordable housing, but to actually put it in where it’s appropriate and where we have the resources to do it effectively, it really puts us behind the eight ball,� Mr. Kyriaco said.

Clippers fall in Game 7 What began as a dream season for the Los Angeles Clippers came to a crashing halt on Tuesday night. The Clippers, who held a 3-1 series lead over the Denver Nuggets, lost Game 7 by a score of 104-89 in Orlando. Denver, in reaching its first Western Conference Finals since 2009, outscored the Clippers by 17 points in the second half to win going away. Jamal Murray led all scorers with 40 points, draining six 3-pointers in the win. Denver was also led by Nikola Jokic, who finished with 16 points, 22 rebounds and 13 assists. Gary Harris and Jerami Grant also chipped in, both finishing with 14 points. The Clippers, a team many thought would match up with the Lakers for a chance to reach the NBA Finals, were led in scoring by Montrezl Harrell, who had 20 points. Stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George scored just 14 and 10 points, respectively. Leonard was just 6-22 from the floor, while George shot 4-16 from the field. Denver advances to take on LeBron James and the Lakers. That series will begin Friday night. — Mitchell White

Dodgers withstand late Padres’ rally to win Justin Turner and Cody Bellinger supplied run-scoring singles and Edwin Rios blasted a 413-foot home run to lead the Dodgers to a 3-1 win over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night at Petco Park. The victory didn’t come without some high drama in the ninth, as the Padres loaded the bases with one out against Kenley Jansen. But the Dodgers closer was able to strikeout the final two batters of the game to end it. L.A. received an outstanding performance from starter Tony Gonsolin, as the right-hander allowed one run on four hits in seven innings. Gonsolin struck out two and didn’t walk a batter to earn the win. The Dodgers (34-15) increased their lead in the National League West to 2 ½ games over second-place San Diego (32-18). The two teams conclude their three-game series with a game today at Petco Park at 1 p.m. — Gerry Fall

School district OKs resumption of sports activities By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

The announcement of a first step toward returning to high school athletic activity spurred a jump for joy at Santa Barbara’s three major public high schools. “The coaches and athletes are over-the-top excited,” San Marcos High athletic director Abe Jahadhmy said on Tuesday after Hilda Maldonado, superintendent for the Santa Barbara Unified School District, announced that a phased resumption of activity will begin on Monday. Todd Heil, who was promoted this summer from boys soccer coach to A.D. at Santa Barbara High School, said the Dons are “excited to have the opportunity to finally get back together in person and start working out again.” It will have been 23 weeks since the COVID-19 pandemic prompted the California Interscholastic Federation to halt all high school sports activity in the state. The teams at several private schools such as Bishop Diego resumed workouts during the summer, but Santa Barbara, San Marcos, and Dos Pueblos have had to wait for district approval. Monday’s resumption will include boys and girls athletes in the sports of football, volleyball, water polo, cross country, and sideline cheer. Their return is contingent, however, on an adherence to “health and safety requirements,” according to Maldonado’s statement. “Athletic activity will be modified in accordance with the guidance provided by County Public Health and CIF, with a focus on skills training and conditioning,” Maldonado said in the statement. “Coaches will need to be tested prior to starting. “Athletic Directors and principals at each site will communicate sports-specific details.”

All training must be conducted outdoors and be limited to conditioning and skill development with no shared equipment. Athletes are also required to work out in the same, small groups while maintaining physical distancing protocol. Other sports can begin training “sometime in October,” according to the district release. Baseball, basketball, golf, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, and wrestling will all open their seasons in either late February or early March. San Marcos coaches and administrators met on Tuesday to plan their resumption of athletic activities. “It has been very difficult because we have to get it right,” Jahadhmy said. “It is worth it, however. We will be working more

hours to supervise the practices.” Maldonado’s announcement left coaches and athletic directors scrambling to organize next week’s return. “It’s definitely a challenge to get the student-athletes back onto campus, but it’s a challenge we’re excited for,” Heil said. “The biggest hurdle right now is attempting to help our studentathletes complete their clearance packets so they can begin conditioning workouts.” All levels are part of the resumption, he added, although San Marcos football coach Jason Fowle said the Royals will probably start with just the varsity “to see how things go.” “We’ll then hopefully have the chance to fold in the lower-level kids,” he added. The CIF Southern Section announced last month that official

practices, and even a few contests in several sports, will be allowed just before Christmas break. It set Dec. 14 as the first official day of football practice and Jan. 8 for the first Friday night games. Volleyball will be the first sport to hold competition, with the boys playing their first matches on Dec. 12 and the girls following on Dec. 19. Water polo will have a Dec. 21 start date for the boys and Dec. 28 for the girls, while the first cross country meets are set for Dec. 26. Fowle said he’ll need every minute to get his team organized after having 137 student-athletes sign up for football. “It’s a great time for us, getting our culture built up to the point where we have such a large influx of players,” he said. “At the same

Grant funds extended for Ellwood butterfly grove By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The city of Goleta has been granted more time to complete improvements at the Ellwood Mesa Monarch Butterfly Grove. Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 115 last Wednesday, which extends the use of a $3.9 million grant from the California State Coastal Conservancy through June 2023, according to officials. The grant was awarded to the city of Goleta in 2019 for design and implementation of the management plan at the Ellwood Mesa/Sperling Preserve open space, a 137-acre open space owned by the city and located on the eastern edge of the Gaviota Coast, said Kelly Hoover, city spokeswoman. Ellwood Mesa is considered one of the most important sites for overwintering monarchs in the state. A portion of the site is designed by The Xerces Society as “the premier Monarch site in Southern California,” Ms. Hoover said. The butterflies arrive at Ellwood Mesa in mid-September and, as winter approaches, cluster into aggregation roosts,

often called overwintering or wintering colonies. The improvement project is needed because the monarch population is experiencing a sudden and significant decline in western North America. Monarch overwintering populations throughout California have been in steep decline for the past several years. Locally at Ellwood Mesa, monitoring indicated only 271 butterflies were present at the height of the migration this past winter, down drastically from a recent high of 47,500 butterflies in the grove during 2011-2012. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is currently evaluating whether the species warrants listing under the Endangered Species Act. The grant funding will support enhancement of a 75-acre portion of the open space used by butterflies. The project includes implementing the Monarch Butterfly Habitat Management Plan, which identifies how the city will preserve, restore and enhance butterfly overwintering habitat. The project also includes enhancement of other wildlife habitat, education and outreach, trail improvements, signage, monitoring, research, and

said. Original surveys prior to COVID-19 show support with little variation among $9.8 million and $7.8 million bond options. The bond measure was originally introduced for the 2018

election, but the board tabled it after the Thomas Fire and the Montecito mudslides. The measure seeks to replace portable buildings with a new classroom building and bring the current building up to modern standards. One update was even suggested in the late ’90s when the building was last renovated. There were concerns about the fire alarm system back then, but the district skirted by. The system is fully functional, but it’s very hard to find parts for or find someone who can service it. Mr. Calderon explained during the board meeting that the current estimate is just an average. When the project is bid, the district will provide the price it can afford. Then, architects design around the budget. The bond measure needs 55% of the vote to pass. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Bond measure was originally introduced in 2018 re-assigned the role. A paraprofessional requested a leave of absence because of health concerns, and the board granted it during the meeting. The absence is unpaid. The district also received an update on the Nov. 3 bond measure. Chief Business Official Yuri Calderon presented an estimate prepared by Stone Creek Engineering Inc. It estimated the project at more than $9.7 million. The bond is only for $7.8 million, so the district is planning on meeting to prioritize the improvements. Mr. Calderon said he hopes to fund more with a matching grant from the state. “We were originally considering a $9.8 million bond, but we felt that was a little bit more than the community was willing to give us

We certainly graduated a lot of seniors, and we’re going to be young, but I really like the group we have.” Fowle said that junior quarterback Joaquin Sandoval and senior end George Tracewell have helped keep their teammates
