Lompoc Mayor Jenelle Osborne is leading in the general election against her challenger James Mosby. On Tuesday night, Ms. Osborne held 56.55% of the vote with 2,477 votes. Mr. Mosby holds 42.76 percent of the vote with 1,873 votes. If Ms. Osborne is reelected, it will be her third term as Lompoc mayor. Prior to being elected mayor in 2018, she served on the city council since 2016. “I would expect it to continue to show a lead,” Mayor Osborne told the News-Press. “I appreciate the votes shown already. “I am appreciative of everyone getting out to vote,” she said “I look forward to hitting the ground running and look forward to continuing the great work we have been doing with the council,” she said.

Democrats took the lead Tuesday night in early, preliminary numbers for statewide races and in mailed-in ballots that made up close to 28% of the voters in Santa Barbara County. U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, had a comfortable lead and told the NewsPress he’s optimistic about a victory. But his Republican opponent, Summerland pediatric heart surgeon Brad Allen, told the NewsPress it’s too early to call the race. Among the mailed-in ballots in Santa Barbara County, Rep. Carbajal had 40,633 votes or 63.09% of the vote. Dr. Allen had 23,771

Democrats, and the later votes tend to favor Republicans, Dr. Allen said. “I want to see what happens as the North County comes in later in the day,” Dr. Allen said. “What I heard from a number of people was that there was heavy voting up there.” Historically, North County is known to lean more toward Republicans than South County. Meanwhile in Washington, D.C., the U.S. Senate was tied at 46 seats for Democrats and 46 seats for Republicans, according to CBS News estimates.

Rain slams SB County Voters cast ballots on cloudy day

By DAVE MASON

Long-awaited fall rain — something more than a sprinkle — finally fell Tuesday as voters visited the polls on a cold, gray Election Day. Rain was off and on throughout the day in Santa Barbara County, but gloomy clouds continued to blanket the sky. Nearly a half inch of rain fell in Goleta. And while the National Weather Service reported less precipitation for Santa Barbara, there was enough rain to cause some flooding of streets. Lompoc experienced 0.6 inch of rain, and Santa Maria saw 0.8 inch of rain, according to the weather service. In New Cuyama, 0.44 inch of rain was recorded. Things were drier in Santa Ynez, which experienced 0.04 inch rain. Those numbers don’t include the rain that fell after 6 p.m. Tuesday was definitely cold. Highs were 60 in Santa Barbara, 61 in Goleta and 59 in Lompoc. The weather service reported a high of 57 for Santa Maria, Santa Ynez and New Cuyama. The lows were 52 in Santa Barbara, 51 in Goleta, 49 in Lompoc, 48 in both Santa Maria and Santa Ynez, and 43 in New Cuyama. Similar temperatures and rainfall were reported in Ventura County. And up north in San Luis Obispo County, Hearst Castle saw more than an inch of rain. The weather service says that’s it for the rain. Today’s forecast calls for nothing but sunshine in the Santa Barbara area and partly cloudy skies in the rest of the county. But don’t put away your jacket. The weather service predicts today’s highs will be 61 in Santa Barbara, 60 at UCSB, 59 in Santa Ynez, 58 in Lompoc, 55 in Santa Maria and a chilly 53 in Cuyama. Today’s lows are expected to be 44 in Santa Barbara, 43 at UCSB, Please see WEATHER on A4

Carpinteria’s hotly contested Measure T ballot measure continued to show an evenly divided community Election Night, as mail-in ballots results showed the two sides running virtually neck and neck. As of 8:15 p.m. Tuesday, the numbers for mailed-in ballots show Vote No opponents of the ballot measure holding a slim lead over Vote Yes supporters. Out of 2,566 votes cast by mail, those opposing the measure numbered 1,257, or 50.93%, versus those supporting the measure, 1,211, or 49.07%. In the City Council District 5 contest, incumbent Al Clark led incumbent Gregg Carty by a nearly 2-1 margin, with 292 votes cast for Vice Mayor Clark and 161 votes cast for Councilmember Carty. Political newcomer Patrick O’Connor had received 40 votes, or 8.06% of the total. In City Council District 3, City Councilmember Roy Lee, who ran unopposed, garnered 412 votes, or 86.55%. An unnamed, unqualified write-in candidate got 64 votes, or 13.45 percent. And in City Council District 1, political newcomer Monica Solorzano received 265 votes, or 95.32% while write-in candidate Patty Boyd got seven votes, or 2.52%. An unnamed, unqualified write-in candidate, received six votes, or 2.16%. Vote No on Measure T spokesman Jason Rodriguez, who had predicted a close election, told the News-Press he was pleased with the vote despite the narrow margin. “So far, so good,” he said. “But let’s not count the eggs until they’re hatched.” He said his side seems to be prevailing because voters saw through the confusing, misleading nature of the ballot Please see MEASURE T on A4

Voters favor Prop. 1, oppose Prop. 30 By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Proposition 1, the statewide measure for a constitutional amendment for abortion, was ahead with 69% of the votes across the state. That’s with about a third of California’s precincts partially

reporting, according to the California Secretary of State’s Office. With a similar number of precincts reporting, the office reported the following results. Proposition 30, the tax to fund electric vehicles, was behind with 56.9% of people voting no. Proposition 27, the online sports

wagering outside of tribal lands, was behind with 70.4% voting “no.” Proposition 28, favoring public school arts and music education funding, was ahead with 63.4% of the vote. Proposition 31, the prohibition against sale of flavored tobacco products, was ahead with 65.2% of the vote.

Proposition 29, which would regulate kidney dialysis clinics, was behind and had just 30.2% of the votes in favor of it. Proposition 26, which supported sports wagering on tribal lands, was behind with just 29.6% voting yes. email: dmason@newspress.com

Santa Maria Regional Transit launches electric buses

By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Santa Maria Regional Transit is launching its first two electric bus services this week. The two Proterra Model ZX5+ vehicles with upgraded safety and passenger amenities, including public Wi-Fi, will debut on the city’s routes 1 and 11, which both serve Broadway (State Route 135) for the first week of service. SMRT will then rotate them to each route, so all residents have a chance to ride them. These two electric buses are the first step in SMRT’s transition to zero-emission vehicles and becoming carbon-free by 2024, according to the city of Santa Maria. The California Air Resources Board is requiring that new vehicles sold in the state by 2035 be free of greenhouse gas emissions like carbon dioxide. “We are using federal and state grants to become 100% electric well ahead of state mandates,” Transit Service Manager Gamaliel Anguiano said in a statement. “These first two zero-emission vehicles represent a significant modernization of our city’s public transit fleet and represent the smart direction the city is taking in many of its programs.”

This is one of the two electric buses that are going into service this week on a Santa Maria Regional Transit route.

The new buses will come with the new SMRT branding livery. One bus has an artistic design reflecting the local landscape and a setting sun. The second bus is a vibrant electric blue and yellow. Both vehicles will be equipped with the latest in air quality management equipment. With the adoption of the city’s 2022-24 budget, the transit division is authorized to spend

about $22 million in federal and state funding over the next two fiscal years to support the purchase of as many as 15 electric buses, which will expand the total number of electric buses in the fleet to 17. Transitioning to electric buses is anticipated to save the transit program’s operating budget about $300,000 annually for fuel and maintenance costs, ,according to

the city of Santa Maria. Some of the costs for electric vehicle charging stations will be reimbursed under PG&E’s E-Fleet Ready Program. The city also received more than $200,000 from the State’s Low Carbon Transportation Operations Program for the transition. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

CALIFORNIA

(The Center Square) — A California state lawmaker says he’ll introduce a proposal in the coming legislative session to provide schools with Narcan kits and increase prevention efforts as fentanyl-related overdose deaths are on the rise among young people in the Golden State. Sen. Dave Cortese, D-San Jose, announced Monday that he plans to introduce legislation in the upcoming session that will focus on raising awareness about the risks of fentanyl and increasing disbursement of the opioid antagonist Naloxone/Narcan in areas with high youth populations. While the bill will not be formally introduced until December, Sen. Cortese told reporters it would specifically direct counties to establish Behavioral Health Advisory Councils, embed fentanyl prevention groups at schools, provide schools with Narcan kits

Santa Barbara City Council fires attorney By NEIL HARTSTEIN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara City Council voted Tuesday to fire City Attorney Ariel Calonne, effective Dec. 8, following a special closed session meeting. The decision was made by a unanimous vote of six council members. Councilmember Mike Jordan was absent. After the council met early Tuesday in a special closed-door session, Mayor Randy Rowse reported that the council had voted to terminate the employment of a public employee, Mr. Calonne, who has been on paid administrative leave since July 25. The agenda for the special closed session meeting called the matter a “public employee discipline/dismissal/release per government code.” Mayor Rowse, who submitted the matter for council consideration Tuesday, would not discuss Mr. Calonne’s termination, or the reasons behind it. “If this is about Ariel, there won’t be any comment,” he told the News-Press. Mr. Calonne also declined to discuss his firing. “I don’t have any comment, either. I’m sorry I can’t help you,” he said, before hanging up. Shelly Cone, the city’s public information officer, repeated that the city would not comment further, calling it a “personnel matter.” But in her news release, she assured residents that Mr. Calonne’s permanent departure will not impact the office he once led. “There will be no interruption in operations at the City Attorney’s Office, which will continue to provide full services to the city of Santa Barbara,” she said. Assistant City Attorney Sarah Knecht has filled in at the City Attorney’s Office since Mr. Calonne’s suspension 3½ months ago,

Westmont volleyball players Keelyn Kistner, Lexi Malone and Phoebe Minch have all been named to the All-GSAC team.

Westmont volleyball players named to All-GSAC Team By JACOB NORLING WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

ALISO VIEJO — The regular season Golden State Athletic Conference champion Westmont Warriors received a trio of accolades on Tuesday, when the conference announced the AllGSAC team. After leading the Warriors to a GSAC-best 15-3 record, Westmont volleyball players Keelyn Kistner, Lexi Malone and Phoebe Minch have all been named to the AllGSAC team. Now a senior, Malone has earned the honor of All-GSAC for the third consecutive season. This year, Malone posted the single-best attack percentage in the GSAC, hitting at a career-best mark of .322, which was 37 points higher than the next-highest clip. Malone was also third in the GSAC with 0.94 blocks per set, as the senior collected 92 total blocks, the fourth-most in the conference. Malone’s 248 kills were seventhmost in the GSAC, and her .322 attack percentage currently stands as the ninth-highest mark in Westmont program single-season history. “These three are all so deserving,” said Westmont Head Coach Ruth McGolpin, who had led the Warriors to their third GSAC Championship in four years. “Lexi Malone adds value to our program

in so many ways. Not only is she stellar as an attacker, but she’s stellar as a blocker, and she’s an incredible leader for our program. “The thing is, other teams have to respect her, so they follow her around a lot. What comes with that extra attention, is it opens up opportunities for players like Phoebe to get more one-on-one opportunities. “Lexi is an easy person for people to communicate with. She is somebody that sits in my office a lot, and oftentimes we don’t even talk about volleyball. She’s been like that since she was a freshman. She’s extremely mature, and she has a wonderful way with her words. She is positive, and also holds the team to a high level of accountability.” Kistner, also a senior, earned All-GSAC honors for the second time in her career, and for the first time since her freshman campaign in 2019. After earning GSAC Setter of the Week on three separate occasions this season, Kistner tallied a total of 509 assists, while also collecting a team-best 47 service aces, the second-most in the conference. In a 6-2 offense, Kistner’s 5.19 assists per set was the fifth-highest average in the GSAC. At the end of the regular season, Kistner’s 2,246 career assists is the sixth-most in Westmont program history. “I’m super proud of Keelyn,”

said McGolpin. “She’s been player of the week several times, and been an excellent leader on and off the floor. She’s been one of our strongest servers as well, and Keelyn’s hands are a thing of beauty. “I’m extra proud of Lexi and Keelyn for getting on here together, after coming in together back in 2019.” Minch led Westmont this season with 291 kills, while averaging a team-best 2.97 kills per set. Minch, who was the lone Warrior to play regularly in both the front and back row, also tallied 383 digs, the second-most on the team. Minch’s 291 kills were the fourth-most in the GSAC, while her average of 2.97 per set was the fifth-highest clip in the conference. Minch also collected 46 service aces, which was tied for the third most in the conference, while her average of 3.91 digs per set was the seventh-highest average in the GSAC. “Phoebe plays all over the court,” said McGolpin. “She’s our best passer and is solid at serving as well. She is quiet, but she’s a very smart attacker. Phoebe has a good range of shots, and she’s somebody that never leaves the court. The value Phoebe brings is as high as anyone out there.” Westmont’s first postseason match is scheduled to begin this Friday at 4 p.m. MST/3 p.m. PST

in Surprise, Ariz. As the top-seed in the GSAC Tournament, the Warriors received a First Round bye in the Quarterfinals and will play either Life Pacific or Ottawa (Ariz.) in the GSAC Semifinal on Friday. “At this point, we checked off three of our ‘Go Big Goals’,” said McGolpin. “Obviously, the GSAC Tournament Championship is a part of our next goals. We’re looking forward to traveling to Ottawa and showcasing what we’ve done all season long in this conference. “We want to continue to play well and win this thing outright, sending us off to the National Tournament the right way.” Links to live coverage of Westmont’s postseason run will be available at athletics.westmont. edu.

including appearing at city council meetings in his absence. Ms. Cone could not say when the council would meet to consider and approve his permanent replacement. “The city attorney is one of two positions, including the city administrator, that is hired by the city council,” she said. “So that will be fully noticed when any action is determined.” Tuesday’s council decision comes a week after the council met in special session Nov. 1 to conduct a public performance evaluation of Mr. Calonne, who told the NewsPress when he was suspended that he was ordered not to say anything. Published reports at the time said his suspension followed a heated argument between him and another attorney in the City Attorney’s Office, which was overheard by others and reported to Human Resources. Mr. Calonne said at the time that he did not know how long the city investigation would take, but that “you’ve got to trust the process.” He was appointed city attorney in March 2014, and he was earning $280,000 a year when he was suspended. Before coming to Santa Barbara, Mr. Calonne spent seven years as the city attorney of Ventura; four years as the city attorney of Boulder, Colo., and 13 years as the city attorney of Palo Alto. He served as president of the City Attorneys Department of the League of California Cities in 1998-99, and was named Public Lawyer of the Year in 2003 by the Public Law Section of the State Bar of California. In 2006, the Colorado Metro City Attorneys Association honored him with the Outstanding City Attorney award. email: nhartstein@newspress. com

Department of Justice expands election monitoring nationwide

By DAVID MASTIO

THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER

(The Center Square) — The Department of Justice expanded election monitoring nationwide from 44 counties and cities in 18 states in 2020 to 64 jurisdictions in 24 states on Tuesday. In California, federal election watchers were dispatched Tuesday To Los Angeles and Sonoma counties. The move by a Democratic administration has already sparked dustups in Florida and Missouri where Republicans have

said they’ll block federal monitors from entering polling places. “Since the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the Civil Rights Division has regularly monitored elections in the field in jurisdictions around the country to protect the rights of voters,” the department said in a statement released Monday. In Florida, Brad McVay, the chief counsel for the Florida Department of State, wrote a letter to the Department of Justice stating that “None of the counties (targeted) have been accused of violating the rights

of language or racial minorities or of the elderly or disabled.” As a result, he said, Florida would send its own monitors and block federal agents from entering polling places. The Justice Department told the Washington Post that its monitors would work from outside the polling places in highly Democratic Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties. In Missouri, Cole County clerk Steve Korsmeyer has rejected Justice Department plans to monitor the election there.

Democrats and 198 to Republicans. It takes 218 seats to achieve a majority, and political observers are expecting Republicans to take control. “I think the House could change, but if it does change, it will be a minor, minor edge,” Rep. Carbajal told the News-Press. “Regardless of the outcome, I look forward to working with anyone and everyone across the aisle and with my Democratic colleagues to continue working for the Central Coast and the nation.” Among the mailed-in ballots in Santa Barbara County, Democratic candidate Gregg Hart was ahead of Republican opponent Mike Stoker in the race for the newly created 37th Assembly District. Mr. Hart, the 2nd District supervisor and a Santa Barbara resident, had 39,562 votes or 61.47% of the mailed-in ballots. Mr. Stoker, the former southwest regional administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency, had 24,802 votes or 38.53% of the ballots. Again, the mailed-in ballots make up a little more than a fourth of all the votes.

Mr. Hart and Mr. Stoker couldn’t be reached for comment Tuesday night. Gov. Gavin Newsom, the Democratic incumbent, had the lead across the state and in Santa Barbara County over Republican opponent Brian Dahle. In the county’s mailed-in ballot results, Gov. Newsom had 40,434 or 62.1% of the vote. Mr. Dahle had 24,682 mailed-in ballots or 37.9% of the county’s mailed-in ballots. In the lieutenant governor race, Democratic incumbent Eleni

Kounalakis was ahead across the state and in Santa Barbara County, where she had 40,239 votes or 62.59% of the mailed-in ballots. Republican challenger Angela E. Underwood Jacobs had 24,052 votes or 37.41% of the county’s mailed-in ballots. Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber, the Democratic incumbent, was ahead across the state and in Santa Barbara County, where she had 40,073 votes or 62.53% of the mailed-in ballots.

IN MEMORY

“The DOJ won’t be allowed into our polling locations,” he told The Associated Press. The Justice Department is also targeting five counties in Arizona, including Maricopa, where 2020 election disputes sparked particularly bitter recriminations and false allegations that the presidential election there was stolen from then President Donald J. Trump. Last week a federal judge sharply curtailed the activities of freelance election watchers in the county, some of whom openly carried firearms. Attorney General Rob Bonta, the Democratic incumbent, was ahead throughout the state and in the county, where he had 39,134 votes or 62.27% of the mailed-in ballots. In California, Proposition 1, which amends the state Constitution to guarantee a woman’s right to an abortion, was ahead across the state. In Santa Barbara County, the measure picked up 45,149 of the mailed-in ballots or 70.72% of the vote. While Tuesday’s results will make some candidates smile, others frown and the rest uncertain, at least one voter seemed happy just to cast her ballot. After she dropped her ballot in the box outside Santa Barbara City Council, she did a little dance. Call it the Midterm Shuffle. email: dmason@newspress.com UPDATE AT NEWSPRESS.COM When the News-Press went to press Tuesday night, the Santa Barbara County Elections Office had released the totals for mailedin ballots, which make up 27.65% of the total vote. The numbers for precincts began rolling at 9:15 p.m., just before the News-Press went to press, and you can find updated numbers today at newspress.com.

measure. The Vote No people never tried to directly influence voters regarding how to vote, he said. “We wanted to stay true to our position and provide accurate information to voters to let them decide for themselves without pushing, but by simply providing material and hoping they made the best choice. “Maybe people who voted at the polls really, really wanted to make sure their vote was an educated one and wanted to wait until the last minute to get information. If you just read the text over and over again, you can’t connect the dots in favor of Yes, while you can connect the dots in favor of No very easily.” Measure T was initiated by

Carpinterians opposed to a proposal to build a two-story boutique hotel on a downtown parking lot, saying they want to preserve open space and prevent private commercial development of public property. Opponents said Carpinterians should trust their elected officials — i.e., the Carpinteria City Council — to carefully review projects that come before them and make sure they adhere to the General Plan. They oppose using ballot measures to make land-use decisions. Vote Yes spokeswoman Ann Sly said it was “way too early” in the vote-counting process to say which side would prevail. “We’re hopeful,” she said. “We did the very best we could.” Ms. Sly said she believes some voters were swayed by the endorsements received by the other side. “But that doesn’t have

to do with the issue itself, but about the initiative process itself, which is unfortunate.” She also accused the Vote No group of using “scare tactics, exaggerations and in some cases, outright lies, and people believed it. “We tried to stay positive and run a very positive campaign,” she said, adding that residents came up to Vote Yes supporters and thanked them for running a positive campaign, “and expressed disgust at the negativity coming from the other side.” But Mr. Gonzalez said that’s simply not true. He said his last interaction with voters before hunkering down to watch election results came at the checkout line at Albertson’s. One person he knew told him he voted No, but another person unknown to him chimed in that he, too, voted No.

“At the end of the day it’s really easy to see what this is all about,” he said. “We’re not trying to influence or sway one way or another, but give our honest opinion that you could see right through (the ballot measure) and see something wrong. “It was very reassuring to me that someone thought the same thing, even though we had not made contact until tonight. That was very reassuring to me.” In the Carpinteria City Council District 5 contest, neither Vice Mayor Clark or Councilmember Carty returned calls seeking comment, but Mr. O’Connor did. “All I’d like to say is Carpinteria will be in good hands regardless of the outcome in District 5 … and, Carpinterians deserve fair decisions without fear or favor,” he said. email: nhartstein@newspress.com

Continued from Page A2 saw 6,843 opioid-related overdose deaths in 2021, 5,722 of which were related to a fentanyl overdose, according to preliminary data released on the state’s Overdose Surveillance Dashboard. Officials and medical experts say young people can be accidentally exposed to fentanyl when buying drugs like Xanax or Adderall, which can be laced with the deadly opioid. As little as 2 milligrams of fentanyl can be lethal depending on a person’s size, and one kilogram of fentanyl has the potential to kill 500,000 people, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. Sen. Cortese said his proposed legislation would build upon a framework established by the Santa Clara County Fentanyl Working Group – a group

fentanyl in a one-month span. Sen. Cortese highlighted the restorative justice aspect of the Monday bill, which would establish a new framework for someone unintentionally possessing fentanyl. “You can’t get young people to come forward if they’re worried about being arrested because they sought out a controlled substance and then fell victim to the kind of lacing and spiking that we’re seeing that is absolutely criminal,” Sen. Cortese said. Lawmakers return to Sacramento for the start of the next legislative session on Dec. 5, which is the first day bills can be in print and brought forward. Sen. Cortese said he expects the bill to be in print at some point in December. Madison Hirneisen covers California for The Center Square.

year they would stock campuses with Narcan in case a student overdoses. And the Santa Barbara Unified School District board voted unanimously in October to put Narcan stations in schools to prevent overdoses, as previously reported in the News-Press. “This is part of a community effort by the health department to get schools on board in the event of an overdose event happening,” John Schettler, the district’s director of special education, told the News-Press. “We have opioid receptors, and if a person has overdosed, they can stop breathing. Narcan goes into the same receptors and blocks it from having an effect on the body,” said Mr. Schettler. In September, the Los Angeles Times reported at least seven teenagers at the Los Angeles Unified School District overdosed on pills that possibly contained

composed of local officials, educators, parents who lost children to fentanyl, addiction specialists and law enforcement that was formed to raise awareness about the dangers of fentanyl. The group scaled up the distribution of Narcan kits in Santa Clara County schools and trained personnel on how to respond in the event of an overdose. Santa Clara County Supervisor Cindy Chavez, a member of the working group, told reporters on Monday that two staff members at two different schools in the county recently saved the lives of two teens who had been poisoned by fentanyl. One of the staff members had recently been trained how to use Narcan through a partnership with the County Office of Education and the fentanyl working group, Chavez said. Several school districts, including districts in Sacramento and Los Angeles, announced this

Kendall Conrad features tablescape tips in class at Rosewood Miramar Beach

Entertaining event

CALENDAR

By MARILYN MCMAHON

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

ust in time to help participants prepare for the holiday season, Rosewood Miramar Beach offered “Entertaining With Kendall Conrad.” The master class offered guests and visitors to the resort the chance to learn tricks and tips for throwing a perfectly curated event. Known for her sustainable and effortless chic accessory designs, Ms. Conrad, a Santa Barbara native, is also an accomplished hostess with an eye for curating simply stylish get togethers. She also serves as the property’s PlaceMaker. “My go-to advice for someone entertaining is to get as much done as possible ahead of time. That way you’ll minimize stress and get to really enjoy your event. I always recommend making countdown lists before the event in different timing increments — for example, one of everything that needs to be done two weeks before, one a week before, two days before, the day of and even an hour before,” she told the group. Taking place from 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 27, this intimate session in The Study at the Montecito resort featured a tablescaping demonstration led by Ms. Conrad and included products from The Well Summerland to help attendees curate their ideal tablescape. Among her tips: “One of my no-fail tricks for setting up stunning tablescapes is to always use a tall centerpiece. Stick to one kind of flower and color to bring this to life. You can even use tall branches like quince, dogwood or cherry or perhaps bring in freshcut ginger from your garden, a palm or monstera leaf, eucalyptus or olive branches. “The other items I always keep on hand for tablescaping are my Cameroon Napkin Rings in brass, my natural rock objects to decorate the table, beautiful glassware, pink salt and family flatware for a special touch — it’s OK to not have a perfect set and mix and match!” Light bites and drink pairings with Ms. Conrad’s own signature cocktail were served by the resort’s culinary team. “The key takeaway I hope my guests received from my master class was to have fun at their own parties and celebrate life as much as possible!” she told the NewsPress. “To me, hosting lots of gatherings is a great way to build a sense of community and allows you to serve as the connector who brings people together. Ultimately, enjoying togetherness as much as possible is what entertaining is all about.” From noon to 5 p.m. on the same day, Ms. Conrad hosted a trunk show at the hotel, 1759 S. Jameson Lane in Montecito. Items from her Fall/Winter 2022 collection included a selection of new bag styles in autumnal colors ranging from mini options to oversized weekenders in rich suedes, nubuck and nappa leather. Also available were Ms. Conrad’s new sculptural jewelry offerings, which included pieces made from hand-polished solid brass, gold-plated brass and sterling silver. email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

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.

LIBRA — In a series of days that have tested your patience to the limit, here comes the moment of truth that could make or break you. You can expect a highpressure day when you will be induced to express your deepest motivations. A confrontation with an authority figure could trigger an outburst. SCORPIO — Are you hankering for a little fun and longing for a little experimentation and perhaps even childish play? Tempting as these prospects are, you will have to ignore them. Scorpio, you simply don’t have the time, at least not today. You will be too busy coping with numerous little emergencies that crop up and having to justify your decisions throughout the day. SAGITTARIUS — Do you feel as though your self-expression is being stifled, Sagittarius? Perhaps you need more time to choose a direction in life. Today, you can expect to feel a lot of pressure from someone close to you. You will feel forced to satisfy this person’s demands. Annoying as this may be, you can take comfort in the knowledge that he or she has your best interests at heart. CAPRICORN — Is there someone persecuting you, Capricorn? Is there a situation that feels unbearably oppressive? Today you won’t have any trouble identifying the source of your problems. And the great news is that is the first step toward obtaining release from them. But you can’t expect it to be easy. AQUARIUS — Although your current mood is somewhat reserved and modest, you probably feel tempted to strut your stuff every once in a while. However, if you try to show off today, Aquarius, you may not be very pleased with your reception. It’s natural for you to want to impress people, but you must try to do it with genuine qualities and simplicity. PISCES — Obviously, you have an important role to play, Pisces. The mood today may be somewhat frustrating, but the way you handle it will earn you rewards and recognition in your workplace or at school. Your strength, self-control, and stability made the difference between success and failure. You can and should be proud of yourself.

HOROSCOPE ARIES — You will feel as though your back is against the wall, Aries. And this particular wall is impeding your progress. Others will ask you questions and ask for your opinion. You may want to tell them the “truth” as you understand it, and you could be tempted to do so humorously. TAURUS — Today is likely to be a bit gray, Taurus. You won’t be able to see how you can get out of your current situation. You may have some financial or physical problems at the moment. If this is the case, it’s because you don’t rely enough on your abilities and good sense to pull you through. It’s possible that you don’t take care of your body as well as you should. That’s easily remedied. GEMINI — You’re wasting your energy, Gemini, and you know it. You try your best to go about your everyday routine, but you’re never really present. You listen to people but what they’re saying doesn’t interest you in any fundamental way. Yes, you’re bored, and you’re afraid to admit it to yourself. CANCER — It isn’t always easy to think about how your life is going, Cancer. Imagine if you were alone in the world, with nothing to hold you back or force you to do anything. At least once a month dedicate an hour to visualizing what your life would be like under these conditions. This will help you figure out what’s impeding you today. LEO — Now is the time to be thinking about your professional orientation, Leo. You may need to get some more fun in your life and experience pleasures that you’ve never had before. You have a certain tendency to separate the two worlds of work and play, but there’s no need. In fact, your work will prosper once you discover ways to make it more playful. VIRGO — You may be worn out, Virgo, but you will have to push forward anyway. You’re entering a long period of work and perseverance. This definitely isn’t the moment to be late or balk. If you’re still in your pajamas at noon, you should be ashamed! Do what you can to wake yourself from your recent daze. It’s time to get up and get moving!

of the vote but I’m happy it’s slightly in terms of voter registration,” she told the News-Press. “This campaign had so many wonderful volunteers and amazing support, and that is a victory in and of itself. People that stepped up to give voters a choice on their candidate, and that is a victory and an important aspect of this campaign. What I’ve learned along this political journey is there is always a lot of speculation and attempts to predict the future. But I always wait patiently and see how things play out and go from there.”. In District 3, Emily Zacarias led in mailed-in ballots Tuesday night ahead of her challengers, Christy Lozano and Bert Haley, for the seat on the Goleta Union School Board.

you to all the supporters and volunteers that have helped make my campaign successful.” Ms. Lozano has a 16-yearold daughter who attended Goleta Union District and has been a teacher for 18 years. Ms. Lozano also previously challenged Dr. Susan Salcido for Santa Barbara County superintendent of schools. While Ms. Lozano lost the election, she created a lot of momentum during her campaign. “My expectations are that there are a lot of people that voted today,” Ms. Lozano told the News-Press. “Only about 2,000 out of 16,000 have been counted so far. So let’s just wait for them to tally it up. We will wait for the final numbers, and it’s always good to give people a choice besides the status quo, and that is what I have done. When you leave it up to the voters, we have to do what the voters want.” Mr. Haley is a local small business owner, the husband of an educator and the father of two children who are graduates of Goleta schools. Mr. Haley has owned and operated a local childcare and summer camp, coached numerous girls and boys youth sports teams, and volunteered in Goleta Union School District classrooms and on school field trips at Ellwood, Kellogg, and El Camino Schools. He has supported teachers and students locally for more than 25 years.

(The Center Square) — In 2019, transit agencies across the U.S. for all modes of transportation took in 32.3 cents in fares for every dollar they spent on operating costs. Those transit agencies recovered 18.4 cents in fares on the dollar in 2020 and just 12.8 cents in 2021. Once the pandemic hit, transit operational costs increased while passengers abandoned public transportation for various reasons — including fear of COVID-19, working from home and having some transportation shut down. That loss in farebox revenue was made up by an injection of federal taxpayer dollars. The federal government gave transit agencies $71.7 billion in four relief packages in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a report from rating agency S&P. The National Transit Authority stated 852 transit agencies across the U.S. spent $13.1 billion in federal pandemic relief funds

mostly on operational expenses in 2021, a 95% increase from the previous year. All forms of transit saw the percentage of farebox revenue compared to operating expenses drop in 2021. For example, farebox revenue was 49.1% of operating expenses in 2019, the year before the pandemic hit. In 2021, the farebox revenue dropped to 19%. Recently released data from the Federal Transit Administration sheds light on how the COVID-19 pandemic continued to cripple public transportation throughout 2021 and how federal taxpayer funding kept it running. Federal funding was the predominant source of funding for transit, something the report says was due to the “COVID-19 public health emergency.” From 2021 to 2020, federal funding for transit operating expenses rose dramatically. In 2020, federal funding made up 25.8% of the funding, while in 2021 that percentage rose to 36.2%. In 2019, federal funding made up only 7.1% of funding for operating expenses.
