Fatal shooting deemed justified

By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office on Tuesday released its report into the October 2019 fatal shooting of 30-year-old Cameron Ely, determining that the involved Sheriff’s personnel acted responsibly in their use of deadly force.

The shooting, which resulted in a wrongful death lawsuit filed on behalf of Cameron’s father, Ron Ely, the former “Tarzan” actor and current Hope Ranch resident, was ultimately deemed a justifiable homicide, according to the 12-page report.

The report included analysis on the investigative reports, coroner’s reports, video and audio recordings, photographs and witness interviews collected during the investigation conducted by the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office and submitted for review by Detective Matthew Banks.

Kim Toves of San Jose, at left, says she feels bad for the parents trying to work and teach kids during the day. She hears her two college-age daughters complain about virtual learning. Larry Vander Schaaf, center, visits Santa Barbara from Seal Beach, occasionally alongside his wife Sharon. They don’t think virtually learning is effective enough. Ricky Lucero Jr., at right, doesn’t mind online classes. He says they’re more challenging, but he has learned to adjust.

Earlier this summer, a federal wrongful death lawsuit was filed on behalf of Ron Ely in connection with the death of his wife, Valerie, and son, Cameron.

An amended complaint was filed in late September in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.

Named as defendants are multiple members of the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department and Santa Barbara County.

The lawsuit specifically named the deputies involved in the shooting of 30-year-old Cameron Ely, including Sgt. Desiree Thome, Deputy Jeremy Rogers, Deputy Phillip Farley and Deputy John Gruttadaurio.

The lawsuit claims that the deputies “actively obstructed” county fire personnel from providing treatment and that Valerie “was left on the floor without any medical treatment or care for more than 30 minutes.

Carbajal tests positive for COVID-19

By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Rep. Salud Carabajal, D-Santa Barbara, announced Tuesday afternoon that he had tested positive for COVID-19.

The positive test result came one day after the congressman released a statement that he had been exposed to an individual who had tested positive for coronavirus.

Rep. Carbajal said he took an initial test after discovering he was exposed, which came back negative. He was then instructed to quarantine for 14 days and self-monitor for symptoms.

He began experiencing “mild symptoms” and was instructed to take another test, which came back positive on Tuesday.

“I will continue to monitor symptoms and carry out my duties virtually,” he said in a statement.

Rep. Carabajal said the “vast majority” of his staff has been working remotely and are not at risk. Those who Rep. Carbajal did interact with have been

Santa Barbara resident Tim Karman, at left, grabs a bite on State Street. One of his kids has been able to go back to in-person learning because of Montecito Union’s reopening waiver. Sharon Vander Schaaf, center, says she’s glad her grandchildren are able to attend class in person at their private school. Rick Lucero of Santa Clarita, at right, says his sons all have varying engagement levels in online learning. His oldest is highly engaged in the learning process.

Santa Barbara Unified School District released updates on Parent Square, the app the district uses to inform parents, as well as its website Monday afternoon to give an update on the reopening process.

School principals are beginning to ask

students what they’d like: online or in-person learning? Parents will soon be asked the same question.

To gauge what the community thinks, the News-Press set out to State Street Tuesday to ask people what they think about virtual learning.

Santa Barbara resident Tim Karman said he wishes all his kids could return to school. His

youngest attends Montecito Union School and is able to go in person, but the older children at Santa Barbara Middle and Santa Barbara High schools still do their work from home.

“I would prefer to have my kids in school,” he said. “If they have to practice social distancing, that’s fine.”

He thinks the county has been too cautious Please see school on A2

Sprawling Nesbitt estate available in auction in Montecito

By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The sprawling 20-acre Montecito estate owned by hotelier Patrick Nesbitt will be available to the highest bidder in an auction next month.

Held via Concierge Auctions in cooperation with Rick Hilston and Rodrigo Iglesias of Hilton & Hyland, the grand Medeterranean-style mansion owned by the founder and head of Windsor Capital Group is currently offered for $65 million.

The property will sell with no reserve to the highest bidder from Nov. 16 to 19 via Concierge Auctions’ online marketplace, www.conciergeauctions.com,

allowing buyers to bid digitally from anywhere in the world.

The estate was featured in a Brittney Spears music video and boasts 43,000 square feet of luxury living, including seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms and a number of amenities. The estate includes a regulation polo field with a clubhouse, main and guest houses, 5,000-bottle hidden wine cellar with attached tasting room, and a 128-foot infinity edge pool.

The 10-acre polo field is considered a world-class venue, having starred in music videos and hosted tournaments and private matches. The club is attached to a barn with space for 17 horses.

“This property is equipped with the best and most essential

amenities for the true equestrian,” Mr. Iglesias said in a statement.

“Unmatched privacy combined with your very own polo club and stables, next to the Santa Barbara Polo and Racquet Club, makes this a dream home for any fan of the sport of kings. This is the best of both equestrian luxury and proximity to Montecito and Santa Barbara and all they have to offer.”

The estate’s ballroom can accommodate up to 200 people.

Also included is a 15-seat movie theater and sports bar.

A rooftop deck, reached through a secret door in the entry rotunda, affords views of the mountains, the ocean, and sightlines clear down to Malibu.

Its 128-foot infinity-edge pool

with a surrounding sun deck is an ideal spot for soaking up the sun during a polo match and an alfresco cocktail party afterward.

Exquisite details abound inside, from the intricately crafted ceilings to the gleaming mahogany office complete with a private access door, officials said.

“Being well-versed in the hospitality industry, I am excited to bring my property to auction with two of the industry’s finest — Concierge Auctions and Hilton & Hyland. I’m confident that together, the firms’ world-class marketing and expertise, paired with the speed and certainty that only Concierge Auctions and their proven process can bring, will Please see nesbitt on A2

Carbajal promotes Energy Opportunity Zones Act

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal showed no signs of slowing down Tuesday morning despite a positive diagnosis for COVID-19.

An upbeat Rep. Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, hosted a Zoom news conference about his Energy Opportunity Zones Act, which is meant to mitigate the economic impact of the closure of the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant near Avila Beach in San Luis Obispo County. Several hours later, Rep Carbajal issued a statement after he learned of the positive test for the coronavirus.

Before the news of the diagnosis, Rep. Carbajal in Washington, D.C., and others discussed the new bill creating “energy opportunity zones” for areas that can demonstrate the closure of a nuclear or coal power plant would cause a loss of jobs.

The designation would extend, strengthen and create tax credits that encourage investment in renewable energy, according to a news release from Rep. Carbajal’s office. Under his legislation, the Central Coast is among the areas that would qualify as an energy opportunity zone.

During Tuesday’s conference, Rep. Carbajal stressed the importance of renewable energy sources such as solar or wind power and noted the Energy Opportunity Zones Act meets several goals.

“It safeguards the environment,

protects our public health and helps grow our economy,” the congressman said.

Rep. Carbajal noted the Central Coast can become a hub for opportunities in green energy.

He added that renewable, clean energy will create many more jobs than those established by fossil fuel industries.

During the conference, Benjamin Ruttenberg, associate professor and director of Cal Poly’s center for Coastal Marine Sciences, said he is glad to see clean energy sources promoted.

He noted the potential for energy from offshore winds. “It may have significant economic value.”

Jocelyn Brennan, CEO and president of South County Chambers of Commerce in San Luis Obispo County, noted green energy sources could increase the number of well-paying jobs.

“These are big, long-time goals that will have a long-lasting legacy for future generations,” she said.

The conference also featured Morro Bay Mayor John Headding, who called the Energy Opportunity Zones Act “a game changer” for his city as it deals with the economic impact of the Diablo Canyon plant closure.

“It could potentially bring a large number of jobs for us,” Mr. Heading said. “This presents a great economic opportunity for us.”

But Rep. Carbajal’s call for green energy is fueling a different reaction from Andy Caldwell, the

Republican candidate challenging him in the Nov. 3 election. Mr. Caldwell said that if elected, he would work to keep the Diablo Canyon plant open and build an adjoining desalination plant.

“We’re experiencing more frequent electrical blackouts, and we have been suffering from water rationing and shortages for years,” Mr. Caldwell said in a news release. “Congress and the state legislature have done nothing to fix these problems. In fact, they are making the problems worse.

“This is about reliable, affordable electricity, creating and retaining good-paying jobs, and securing clean water for our farms and families,” he said.

“This isn’t pie-in-the-sky virtue signaling. This is a real, shovelready project that will provide immediate benefits for the Central Coast.”

Mr. Caldwell, a News-Press columnist, noted California imports more oil and fossil fuel-generated electricity than any other state. “That means California’s ‘clean energy’ talk is just that — nothing but talk. If any of them were serious about reducing carbon emissions, they would be looking for new, zeroemission sources like nuclear to expand our capacity. Instead, they’re focused on reducing our capacity while increasing demand.” email: dmason@newspress.com

Hancock breaks ground on Fine Arts Complex

By GERRY FALL NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Allan Hancock College is about to undergo a major addition, one that will cost almost $50 million.

On Sept. 30, Hancock officially broke ground on its new Fine Arts Complex at the Santa Maria campus. The college kicked off construction of the $48 million facility with a special ceremony that included Hancock administrators, members of the college’s board of trustees and representatives of the companies and community organizations that helped make the project possible.

“This facility is going to be a tremendous asset to our college and community,” Hancock Superintendent and President Kevin G. Walthers said in a school release. “We are going to be able to bring all of our media arts and all of our fine arts into one space and create a wonderful synergy for our students in those

programs. This is going to be one of the largest projects we’ve ever undertaken at Hancock.”

The Fine Arts Complex will become a hub of creativity and learning at Hancock, according to the school’s news release. The two-story, 88,000 square-foot facility will include a 400-seat concert and recital venue. It will also house the college’s dance, drama, film, graphics, music, photography and multimedia arts and communications programs.

“Over half the students at AHC come through the fine arts department, and we are spread across the campus in six different buildings,” said John Hood, who is the school’s Fine Arts Department Chair. “To be able to have everyone in one beautiful building will be a dream come true. It will allow our students and faculty to collaborate and reach out even more into the community.”

Funding for the Fine Arts Complex was provided by the voter-approved Bond Measure I,

the California Community College Chancellor’s Office, and generous support from the estate of former Hancock faculty member Patricia Boyd.

Construction is expected to be completed by the fall of 2022.

According to Tracy Beard, the Measure I Citizens’ Oversight Committee Chair, a total of $23 million in Measure I bond funds are being applied to this project.

“This is good use of taxpayer funds,” Ms. Beard said in the school’s official release. “Over 90% of Hancock students are local, and this facility will host events, arts and cultural events that will be open to the public for decades to come. Hancock has long been a hub for art education and training, and this facility will ensure a vibrant economy in Santa Barbara County.”

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara City Council unanimously recommended the Planning Commission approve increasing the Affordable Unit requirement in rental housing projects from 10% to 15% for all areas outside the Central Business District.

In those areas, the amendment would allow for developers to round down if they end up with a fraction of a unit that would be required to be moderate-income housing.

Approval must be given by the Planning Commission for it to go into effect.

Multiple council members said they don’t believe the Average Unit-size Density Incentive Multi-unit Housing Program is accomplishing what they believe it was meant to, which is provide more affordable units downtown and in the city at large.

“What we’re seeing right now, on the ground, is simply not producing what the goals of the program were,” said Council member Jim Jordan. “We’re actually starting to see now a return to the condotype of arrangement, say, at the bottom of Chapala, where we’re seeing a whole bunch of larger luxury units that then just meet the 10% burden of three or four… of middle-income units. That’s exactly what we strive to get away from.”

Mayor Cathy Murillo supported the recommendation of increasing the inclusionary percentage by 5%, but hesitated without the proper research proving it would help.

“I’m not comfortable going to 15% without the assurances of more data points and the study,” she said. “It’s easy to say that the program isn’t producing affordable units — that’s mostly because of the demise of redevelopment and we don’t have that income stream, so the more accurate conversation would be how do we create that revenue stream so that we can have affordable units?”

Citing a previous study, Renee Brooke, the city planner, said, “Consultants determined it would be slightly marginal for developers to build downtown with a 15% inclusionary requirement. It was really on the cusp.”

Council member Meagan Harmon stated that she opposes not including the CBD in the inclusionary requirement increase.

“I don’t love what it says to folks that if you don’t

Multiple council members said they don’t believe the Average Unit-size Density Incentive Multi-unit Housing Program is accomplishing what they believe it was meant to, which is provide more affordable units downtown and in the city at large. have a high enough income, that you’re going to be relegated to the outside of our downtown,” she said.

In conclusion of the discussion, Mr. Jordan addressed the housing issue as a whole.

“The real enemy here is time. I suspect that housing in downtown left un-incentivized to provide more affordable housing will continue to look like the top floor of the Granada,” he said. “It will continue to accelerate in value over time rather than blend into the rest of the city.”

If the 5% increase was to be approved, the process would take around three months before the requirement would go into effect, according to Ms. Brooke.

In other business, the council unanimously approved amending the city’s grading ordinance to address grading less than 50 cubic yards on hillside property. Additional verification will be needed for any grading projects within that frame.

“This has been a recurring issue in these hillside areas,” Mayor Pro Tempore Kristen Sneddon said.

“It’s truly a safety issue.”

Members of the council also denied the second appeal by Blanca Benedict to remove a Nichols Willowleafed Peppermint Tree in the 2500 block of Castillo Street.

The Parks and Recreation Commission recommended to deny the appeal, citing that in its most recent visit to check on the health of the tree and connections between limbs, it found it to be pristine, and again did not see the sight-line issue. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

This year’s Wags n’ Whiskers Festival is promoting adoptable pets at various websites.

Advertisers, ask about this cost saving program.

Call today! 564-5230

Wags n’ Whiskers has gone virtual.

The longtime festival, hosted by C.A.R.E.4Paws, runs through Sunday.

Instead of people and animals gathering at Santa Barbara City College as usual, C.A.R.E.4Paws is promoting dozens of pets at various websites. The goal is to find homes while keeping everyone safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.

To see adoptable pets, go to care4paws. org/adopt, facebook.com/care4paws and

instagram.com/care4pawssb.

Throughout this week, C.A.R.E.4Paws is highlighting festival sponsors who support adoption and the nonprofit’s work to keep pets in their homes. That includes efforts to help lost pets. Throughout this month, C.A.R.E.4Paws is partnering with Santa Barbara County Animal Services to get pets microchipped for just $5.

Microchipping is being done at C.A.R.E.4Paws’ regular Tuesday through Friday clinics plus special Sunday events throughout the county.

Microchipping, low-cost vaccines, flea

treatment, dewormer, nail trimming and more are provided from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on a walkin basis at all of C.A.R.E.4Paws’ mobile clinic events. C.A.R.E.4Paws also offers free spay and neuter surgeries and helps with low-cost veterinary care by prior appointment.

During all of the Sunday clinics this month, Santa Barbara County Animal Services’ Project PetSafe will sell dog licenses and pet tags.

Report: Deputies thought man could still be armed shooting

Continued from Page A1

WIN A CHEVY COLORADO Car Drawings October 4, 11 & 18 at 10pm

Further, the lawsuit claimed that Cameron was advised to “keep his hands up,� before multiple deputies opened fire and struck Cameron 22 times “without any warning or legal justification.�

The District Attorney’s report disputes those claims.

The report states that Cameron stabbed his mother to death in their Hope Ranch home.

Around 8:15 p.m. on the evening of Oct. 15, 2019, Cameron called 911 and said his mother tried to attack his father and he “defended him� before hanging up. “When the 911 dispatcher called back, Ron got on the phone,� the report reads. “The dispatcher attempted to find out what was happening at the home but she could not understand Ron.�

Three deputies responded and found Valerie in the dining area, deceased, the report states. “They saw a knife handle protruding from her chest and multiple stab wounds to her chest and abdomen. They located Ron in the home,� the report reads. “He was very emotional and difficult to understand, but deputies believed he was telling them that his son had stabbed Valerie and fled. Additional deputies arrived and searched both the house and grounds, but did not locate anyone else.�

Ron was transported to the hospital for evaluation while deputies continued to investigate the murder. The report noted that a sergeant and senior deputy remained in front of the house while two other deputies went to obtain the license plate number of a truck parked at the back of the home. “The property was very large and very dark, with no streetlights or exterior lighting,� the report reads. “As the two deputies walked down the long, dark driveway on the side of the house leading to the back of the property, they encountered (Cameron) suddenly. “From the light of a flashlight they could see he appeared to

have blood on him and a fresh wound to his neck. The deputies immediately yelled at him to show his hands and get on the ground.�

The sergeant and senior deputy ran to the side of the house towards the voices. All four deputies said the events “happened very quickly,� according to the report. “Initially (Cameron) acted as if he were going to comply with the commands; however, as (Cameron) got to the ground, he suddenly sprang to his feet and while bending at the waist, he reached toward his waistband while simultaneously saying, ‘I have a gun!’ “Fearing that (Cameron) was drawing a gun to shoot and kill or injure the deputies, all four deputies fired their service weapons striking (Cameron) multiple times. He was pronounced dead at the scene.�

In the wake of the incident, the Sheriff’s Office announced that Cameron was not armed when the shooting occurred.

The DA’s report noted that all four Sheriff’s personnel believed that Cameron had violently stabbed Valerie and “could still be armed.�

K-9 Deputy Phil Farley said in the report that he thought Cameron was “going to ambush us,� while others noted they felt they were about to be “critically assaulted.�

Cameron was later found not to be in possession of any weapons.

Rather, he had “a metal garden hose tap splitter, a stack of playing cards, small rocks, a car key fob, an iPhone, crumpled papers, a bank card, a little plastic bag with a white powdery substance that later tested positive for cocaine, and a small plastic bottle labeled liquid vitamins,� according to the report.

During the course of the investigation, detectives found multiple large kitchen knives throughout the property, including several with blood smears.

Detectives also met with Ron, his two adult daughters and a sonin-law. “They learned from the family that (Cameron’s) behavior had

been ‘erratic,’ ‘unstable’ and ‘volatile’ for a long time but it had been more concerning in the days leading up to October 15, 2019,� the report reads. “One sister said his behavior was ‘definitely delusional.’ The other sister refused to go to the house on October 15, 2019, because she was afraid of him,� the report continued. “During a phone call on October 15, 2019, she encouraged Valerie to call the police but (Cameron) had prevented Valerie from doing so. “They suspected he had mental health issues, possibly related to his history of sustaining concussions playing football.�

An autopsy report showed that Cameron suffered 22 gunshot wounds to his torso, neck, back, buttocks and arms, though none of the wounds “had any indication� of being shot from close range, according to the report.

A neuropathologist at Boston University diagnosed Cameron with stage 1 chronic traumatic encephalopathy, also known as CTE. Cameron was found to have amphetamine, THC and 0.04% ethanol in his system at the time of his death.

Valerie suffered seven stab wounds in the incident, and her left lung collapsed and her liver was pierced. She had four other wounds to her arms and 16 blunt force injuries, according to the report. “When (Cameron) disobeyed verbal commands by deputies, sprang to his feet and moved his hands to his waistband as if grabbing a weapon while saying, ‘I have a gun!’ shortly after killing his mother, his actions created a reasonable fear of death or great bodily injury in the minds of Deputies Gruttadaurio and Farley, Sergeant Thome and Senior Deputy Rogerse,â€? the report reads. “Based on the investigation by the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office‌each of the deputies acted reasonably in his/her use of deadly force; therefore, the shooting of Cameron Pierce Ely is a justifiable homicide.â€? email: mwhite@newspress.com

Both are outgoing and love attention. Older bonded pairs are often harder to find homes for, so ASAP is looking for someone special who understands their special needs.

Like most of ASAP’s cats during this difficult time, Charlie and Alex may move to a foster home but are still available for adoption. See www.asapcats.org for adoptable cats and adoption applications and to learn more about fostering opportunities.

Until ASAP reopens to the public, you can also email the nonprofit at info@asapcats.org or call ASAP at 805-683-3368.

give me some insight?

— Wants to help in Michigan Dear Wants to Help: I don’t think you are overthinking at all. The questions in your mind are intelligent ones.

That’s why you should pick up the phone and tell the families that you intend to bring them a gift of food, but before you do, you would like to know if they have any dietary restrictions.

(Perhaps they already have a freezer full of cakes, pies and cookies and would enjoy something more solid — like a casserole?) I am sure your thoughtfulness would be appreciated if you called to offer your condolences and asked what they could use.

Charlie

Cooper Cooper wants to be your friend.

The 2-year-old cat is awaiting adoption through Volunteers for Inter Valley Animals in Lompoc.

Cooper gets along well with people and other cats.

He’s very friendly and loving.

Cooper has remained positive despite a rough life.

His owner fell in hard times and needed to rent out

a room. Her tenant had a dog that hated her cats, so Cooper ended up being returned to VIVA. Despite all that, Cooper remains a true lover.

To adopt Cooper, go to www.vivashelter.org and complete and email an adoption application. After that, VIVA can arrange for a private appointment to meet Cooper or see other cats.

You can call VIVA at 805-735-6741.

Aries — This is a fantastic time for you for love and romance, Aries, even if there’s a bit of coolness between you and the person you care about. It’s possible that there needs to be an element of distance now for you to really appreciate the good thing you have. If you aren’t involved with someone now, you should find that you’re in a good position to make a move toward someone you feel strongly about.

Taurus — It’s one thing to be a friend and it’s another to feed someone’s ego just to make him or her happy, Taurus. Make sure that you aren’t telling someone lies just because you know that that is what he or she wants to hear. A true friend is someone who is honest at all times, even if it means that you may temporarily hurt that person’s feelings.

Gemini — It’s critical that you not try to gain the love and appreciation of another by controlling their decisions, Gemini. It’s time to let the people around you set their own rules and boundaries. Give that special person space to decide what’s best, then you can take action accordingly. It may be that you discover things about this person that you probably would never have known if you called all the shots.

Cancer — You might need to put on the brakes today when it comes to love and romance, Cancer. Don’t think that this means you have to break off any sort relationship that’s in the works but realize that you may need to take a more realistic approach to how you handle it. The problem is that you may be getting so caught up in the fantasy of things that you aren’t tending to practicalities.

Leo — Things should be going quite well for you today, Leo, and you will find that aspects of your life that may have felt disconnected in the past are finally slipping into place. Have faith that all your painstaking planning and organizing is finally going to pay off. This is especially true in love and romance. Spend intimate time with a close partner tonight if possible.

Virgo — Restriction and discipline might not be your forte, Virgo, but realize that this may be exactly the type of16, thing that Monday, November 2015 you need the most. Try not to expend your energy in too many directions. Focus and channel your efforts into the things you consider the most important.

Make sure that most of your day

By Dave Green

HOROSCOPE is spent tending to these things.

Have you hugged your loved ones lately?

Libra — Appreciate the good things you have today, Libra. Don’t let another day go by without really paying homage to the people who’ve helped you grow along the way. Take a walk. Climb a tree or help a child build a tree house. Connect with your spiritual side that finds satisfaction in where you are now instead of always feeling a need to search for something bigger and better.

Scorpio — When it comes to matters of love and romance, you may need to tone things down a bit, Scorpio. An aggressive approach now may drive your loved one further away from you instead of drawing him or her closer. Remember that love is a two-way street. Don’t just do things the way you’d like to do them. It’s crucial that you consider your partner’s thoughts and feelings every step of the way.

Sagittarius — You may find that your love is incredibly magnetic now, Sagittarius. All you need to do is be yourself and suddenly people flock your way. There are terrific opportunities for you to strengthen the bonds you have with the people you care about the most. Solidify your relationship with soft romantic words and actions. There is an extra sensuality to your mood and actions now.

Capricorn — Consider taking a more conservative approach to your actions today, Capricorn, as well as to the way you dress.

Others may be rather put off by something that comes across as too flashy. Fashion is apt to be a significant concern for you now, which is fine. Don’t underestimate the power of personal appearance.

Aquarius — Romantic relationships may not exactly be going as well as you’d like, Aquarius, but don’t get discouraged. Hang in there and you will find that things eventually come around your way. You may need to strengthen your internal sense of confidence, since it’s doubtful that you will get much support from interactions with the people around you.

Pices — It could be that you’re trying to communicate with someone in a matter regarding love and romance and it simply isn’t working. You’re apt to feel like you need a translator in order to get your message across.

Both you and your partner need to share responsibility for making sure that the lines of communication remain open.

Be practical yet sensitive in your approach.

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 BAR DATE FOR SUBMITTING CLAIMS DEADLINE FOR FILING CLAIMS: NOVEMBER 30, 2020 SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, Plaintiff v.

RALPH T. IANNELLI and ESSEX CAPITAL CORPORATION, Defendants.

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the United States District Court for the Central District of California ("District Court") has entered its order establishing a deadline by which proofs of claim must be submitted to Geoff Winkler (the "Receiver"), the Court-appointed permanent receiver for Essex Capital Corporation and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the "Receivership Entities"), in connection with the above-referenced action.

The Receiver is in the process of sending a Determination of Claim Amount letter to all Receivership Entity investors and creditors for whom he has identified as having suffered net losses from their investments in, or contributions to, the Receivership Entities. All persons or entities who: (1) dispute the Receiver's calculation of their claim amount, as set forth in the Determination of Claim Amount letter; or (2) do not receive a Determination of Claim Amount letter, but otherwise believe that they are entitled to assert a claim against, or have a right to distribution from, the Receivership Entities based upon, among other things, an investment in any of the Receivership Entities, must submit a Proof of Claim. If you receive a Determination of Claim Amount letter from the Receiver and do not dispute his calculation of your claim amount as stated therein, you do not need to submit a Proof of Claim.

If you have not received a Proof of Claim form, you can obtain one by visiting www.essex-receivership.com or by writing to the Receiver at Essex Capital Corporation Claims, P.O. Box 4364, Portland, OR 97208-4364. Your Proof of Claim must be received by the Receiver by no later than November 30, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. PST. Your Proof of Claim, along with all supporting documentation, must be mailed to: Geoff Winkler, Receiver, Essex Capital Corporation Claims, P.O. Box 4364, Portland, OR 97208-4364.

When you submit a Proof of Claim form in this case, you consent to the jurisdiction of the District Court for all purposes, including a determination, among other things, as to the validity and amount of your claim. In submitting a Proof of Claim, you agree to be bound by the actions of the District Court, even if that means that your claim is limited or denied. By submitting a Proof of Claim, you further agree that your receipt of any distribution from the receivership estate may exclude you from any other remedies or relief against the Receivership Entities based upon your claim.

You must submit, in addition to your Proof of Claim, a copy of all documents evidencing your claim including, but not limited to, any canceled checks (front and back), bank statements, account ledgers, invoices, statements, or other documents evidencing the amount or basis of your claim, and any documents evidencing a security interest, if any.

IF YOU FAIL TO SUBMIT A PROOF OF CLAIM BY NOVEMBER 30, 2020 AT 5:00 P.M. PST, YOU WILL BE FOREVER BARRED FROM SEEKING OR PURSUING RECOVERY ON ANY CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE OR HOLD WHICH RELATES TO OR ARISES OUT OF ANY TRANSACTION WITH ANY OF THE RECEIVERSHIP ENTITIES.

Ventura sailor reunites with sister aboard USS Halsey

By GERRY FALL NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Life in the military can be challenging when it comes to being away from family.

That, however, was not the case recently for Ventura native Robert L. Halsey and his sister, Mystique Queen from Medford, Ore. The two were reunited on Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ship, the USS Halsey.

Mr. Halsey is a Naval Senior Chief Information System Technician assigned to Commander Destroyer Squadron fifteen (DESRON 15), which is currently embarked on the USS Ronald Reagan. Ms. Queen is assigned to the Easy Riders of Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron, which is currently embarked on the USS Halsey.

The reunion proved to be serendipitous, as USS Halsey asked for some additional training from DESRON 15, and Mr. Halsey was sent over to assist the ship where his sister, an Aviation Electronics Mate 2nd Class, is currently serving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Recently), the Commodore (DESRON 15), Capt. Steven DeMoss, and I were discussing sending me over for training,â&#x20AC;?

Mr. Halsey said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During the conversation, I brought up the fact that my baby sister, AE2 Mystique Queen, was stationed onboard. The Commodore was also already aware of the fact that Admiral Halsey was a distant relative of mine. So the opportunity for him to send (me) to the USS Halsey to see (my) kid sister and conduct training was too much for him to pass up.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Halsey said the commodore expressed his happiness that he was able to reunite him with his sister, while still taking care of one of the ships to remain missionready.

Ms. Queen learned that her brother was coming to surprise her, so she decided to surprise

him instead by serving with the flight deck personnel responsible to choke and chain (securing) the helicopter upon landing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt like my heart was going to beat out of my chest,â&#x20AC;? Ms. Queen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was so excited. He looked so surprised when he saw me. I surprised him, as he thought he was surprising me.â&#x20AC;?

The eldest of five, Mr. Halsey would take time to drive up to visit his sister and three other siblings in Oregon while stationed in California. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mystique was actually born a few months before I graduated high school in Ventura in 1996,â&#x20AC;?

Mr. Halsey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was raised by my grandparents in Ventura after my father passed away when I was 10 years old. My mother had previously moved to Oregon a few years before that where she lived with Mystiqueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, and our three other siblings. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the oldest of five siblings, and Mystique is the youngest.â&#x20AC;?

Meeting up aboard the ship of their familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s namesake is a special moment the two said they will treasure for years to come. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is my first ship and my first deployment, and it just so happens to be on the Halsey,â&#x20AC;?

Hancock kicks off Centennial Celebration with time capsule

By GERRY FALL NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Allan Hancock College recently enjoyed a special celebration.

The school rang in its Centennial Celebration on Sept. 23. Current and former college administrators and faculty members gathered to open the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 75th anniversary time capsule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Opening the time capsule was a wonderful way to celebrate 100 years of changing the odds for our students,â&#x20AC;? Hancock Superintendent and President Kevin G. Walthers said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hancock is a great place, and we are very proud to be able to share a piece of AHCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history and legacy with our community.â&#x20AC;?

The time capsule was buried on the Santa Maria campus in 1995 and contained a number of interesting items connected to the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history.

Items inside the capsule included photos of the campus, printed brochures and other promotional materials for the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clubs and programs, as well as buttons, pins, and other materials from the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 75th anniversary, the year the capsule was buried.

Special guests at the event included former Hancock Superintendent and President Ann Foxworthy Lewellen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we buried this time capsule, we wanted to let people in the community know how important the college was and the role it played for the citizens in the college district,â&#x20AC;? she said in a release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to capture a

Free flu shots Saturday in Solvang The flu virus remains one of the top 10 leading causes of death each year in the U.S., a statistic that is especially concerning during the COVID-19 pandemic.

To mitigate the flu risk, Dignity Health Urgent Care in Solvang will offer no-cost flu shots to adults ages 18 to 64 years from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at 1992 Old Mission Drive, Suite 140.

Appointments are not necessary, but supplies are limited. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The symptoms of COVID-19 and the flu are very similar, and

slice of this moment in 1995, and it has been fun reliving that time.â&#x20AC;?

Ms. Foxworthy Lewellen was the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president when the time capsule was buried some 25 years ago.

Other guests at the event included Hancock ASBG President Daryl Christensen and history professor Roger Hall.

For Mr. Christensen, the capsule brought back fond memories of his time at Hancock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, it was incredible to see the old photos of the faculty and staff and students who were here at the time,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really been great to see this and reminisce about what it was like 25 years ago.â&#x20AC;?

Hall reflected on the advances in technology on campus since the capsule was buried. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As someone who teaches history, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to be part of history occasionally,â&#x20AC;? Mr. Hall said in a release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What struck me about looking at these artifacts was how much of what we did was paper-based. So much of the technology we used has changed in the last 25 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatever the technology is, on paper or online, the mission of trying to get people to where they want to be is still the great joy of this process and being a part of this college and this community.â&#x20AC;?

The event marked the official start to the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Centennial Celebration. The celebration will commence with the commencement of Hancockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 100th graduating class in May 2021. email: gfall@newspress.com while there is still no vaccine for COVID-19, we could see a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;twindemicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; this year,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Jason Morris at Dignity Health Urgent Care, Solvang. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For this reason, it is important to get a flu vaccination and protect yourself, your family and the community during these uncertain times,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The CDC recommends a yearly flu vaccine as the first and most important step in protecting against flu, according to Dignity Healthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pacific Central Coast Health Centers.

Westmont College adds to its faculty

By GERRY FALL NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Westmont College announced the addition of four new professors on Monday.

Katherine Bryant, alumnus Daniel Gee, Robert Haring-Kaye and Blake Victor Kent are joining the faculty at the Montecito college.

Ms. Bryant, who was a visiting assistant professor at the school for three years, graduated from USC and earned a doctorate from Texas A&M. “While teaching at Westmont, I have always admired how students and faculty consistently integrate their academic studies with deeper questions of faith, purpose and justice,” Ms. Bryant said in a statement issued by the college. “I eagerly look forward to contributing to this broader purpose in service to our Lord.”

Following an outstanding academic career at Westmont that culminated in 2013 with a valedictorian honor, Mr. Gee is returning to the school to teach music and conduct the Westmont College Choir.

He completed majors in both music composition and philosophy at Westmont, before earning a Master of Music degree from the USC Thornton School of Music. Mr. Gee has nearly finished studies for his doctor of musical arts degree at USC. “Music in all of its manifestations is breathtakingly diverse and a rich gift from God,” Mr. Gee said in the Westmont statement.

“Choral music contributes uniquely to this manifold witness in its accessibility and humanness. It seems that we often reserve our most important words for song.”

Mr. Haring-Kaye, who completed tenure as a professor of physics and astronomy at Ohio Wesleyan University, taught at Purdue Northwest. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Florida State University before completing a doctorate there in nuclear physics.

Mr. Haring-Kaye has been a principal or co-principal investigator on four National Science Foundation grants. The last two focused on cultivating research experiences

for undergraduates.

“I am constantly amazed at the beauty, order and complexity of the world around us, and in the universe as a whole,” Mr. Haring-Kaye said in the Westmont news release.

Mr. Kent is a scholar who specializes in population health, medicine and religion.

He has been working the past two years as a postdoctoral research fellow with Harvard Medical School’s Center on Genomics, Vulnerable Populations and Health Disparities, and at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Mr. Kent graduated from Wheaton College, earned a master of arts in theological studies at Regent College in British Columbia, and a master’s and doctorate in sociology at Baylor University.

“I’m thrilled to be entering a community where students are eager to learn about and face down the daunting social challenges that loom large in our contemporary environment,” Mr. Kent said in the Westmont release. email: gfall@newspress.com
