County OKs jail rehabilitation project Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors approves option two By FORREST MCFARLAND NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors passed option two of the Main Jail Rehabilitation project 41Tuesday. Following the class-action lawsuit filed by Disability Rights California, The Board of Supervisors moved forward with the comprehensive settlement by approving the project.

The board considered four options for the jail’s renovation, ranging in cost from $24.2 million to $67.1 million. The baseline renovations include deferred capital work estimated at more than $14 million. Option one proposed an additional $6.16 million for improvements to programming space, mental health areas and cell improvements. The board followed the staff recommendation of the Sheriff’s Office

and passed option two. This project includes option one’s improvements with additional costs for an assessment of longer-term inmate housing and program space on the Main Jail campus or additional beds at the Northern Branch Jail. The estimated cost of this project is $24.9 million. The board did not pass the project without push back. “I submit to you that the Main Jail is a money pit,” Supervisor Das Williams, who

cast the sole vote against the project, told the board. Mr. Williams explained the cost of maintenance and utilities for the Main Jail currently amounts to around $1.6 million per year. “It’s not just $24 million,” said Mr. Williams. “It’s $24 million plus this $1.6 (million) that will only increase as the facility continues to age.” The utility of the Main Jail came into question, namely as the Santa Barbara

jail population has reduced dramatically in the past year. While the population normally hovered around 1,000 inmates, the Sheriff’s Office reports the jail’s population is currently 632 people. Some members of the board suggest this is the result of newly implemented criminal justice reforms. “The initial decisions to divert low-level offenders is great. I just hope we continue to balance this as we move forward,” Please see JAIL on A3

By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE SENIOR REPORTER

(The Center Square) — The costs of goods and services rose at above-normal rates again in October, as new federal economic data released Tuesday shows inflation continuing

to impact the U.S. economy. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the producer price index, a figure that measures wholesale prices, grew another 0.6% in October, after increasing 0.7% in August and 0.5% in September. Overall, the figures show that inflation has grown 8.6% in the past 12

months ending in October, tying a record set earlier this year. That rise in inflation means everyday goods and services are more expensive for Americans. BLS said gasoline and food helped drive this latest increase, Please see INFLATION on A4

Development for former homeless secures extra funding Santa Barbara City Council approves $1.5 million loan to Housing Authority project

Trattoria Mollie chef starts her next chapter By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Trattoria Mollie — a popular Italian restaurant operated by an enthusiastic, acclaimed Ethiopian chef whose culinary studies took her to Italy — has closed its remaining location on State Street. Sunday was the last day of business at the restaurant. The closure came on the heels of the previous closure of Trattoria Mollie on Coast Village Road in Montecito after three decades. But Chef Mollie Ahlstrand remains determined to be an active part of the community that loves her cuisine and everlasting smile. The Montecito chef told the News-Press Tuesday that she

is already busy with her newest venture, Mollie’s Catering. “I’ve already booked so many parties.” And she’s teaching cooking classes as well. But that’s not all. “Tino’s Italian Grocery on Carrillo Street will be selling my items such as lasagna bolognese, veggie lasagna, minestrone, etc.,” she said. She added her goods will also soon be at Tri-County Produce. And … “Who knows? I might open a small restaurant,” she said. Mrs. Ahlstrand, who was born in Mekele, Ethiopia, studied at the Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara and later political science at UCSB, but decided by the late 1980s to study Italian Please see MOLLIE on A4

An apartment complex for “extremely low income” and “very low income” tenants — focused on the formerly homeless — is on track to begin construction at the end of December after Tuesday’s Santa Barbara City Council and Finance Committee meetings. The development, Vera Cruz Village, is being built by the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara. The Housing Authority asked the City Council for more than $1.5 million to cover unforeseen construction costs. The money will be repaid over 30 years. The Finance Committee approved the expense during its meeting, and the full City Council agreed in its consent agenda.

It is unusual for the City Council to vote on an item the same day as a committee, but this agenda item was expedited to meet the scheduled construction date. There were few questions from the Finance Committee — apart from Chair Eric Friedman ensuring the money wasn’t coming from the general fund. The city’s affordable housing fund is separate, Laura Dubbels, housing and human services manager, assured. “As we know it is very difficult to find these types of projects, and so they go a long way towards diversifying our community and those who live here as well as helping us achieve our affordable housing needs numbers that we have in the City of Santa Barbara,” Mr. Friedman said.

Chumash marine sanctuary moves to designation phase By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The proposed Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary off the Central Coast of California will advance to the designation phase, according to U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal and the U.S. Department of Commerce. This announcement marks the start of a public process during an effort to protect the marine resources along 140 miles of California’s coastline from oil drilling and to recognize those waters for their cultural, economic and ecological significance. “I am thrilled the Biden administration has taken this step to protect our coastal areas from further oil and gas drilling and strengthen our state’s $1.9 trillion coastal economy, which is propped up by tourism and commercial fishing,” Mr. Carbajal, DSanta Barbara, said in a news release Tuesday. “Bringing the proposed sanctuary into the designation phase is the result of years of public engagement, and I am grateful that we are one step closer to permanently protecting our coastline for future generations to inherit and enjoy. I am also thankful for the steadfast leadership of the late Fred Collins, chairman of the Northern Chumash Tribal Council, whose legacy of advocacy was instrumental in moving this project forward.” “Successfully designating the Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary will protect ocean life, sacred Chumash sites,

strengthen Indigenous communities and serve as a model of environmental justice,” said Violet Sage Walker, Northern Chumash Tribal Council chairwoman and Mr. Collins’ daughter. “Today’s announcement marks a major milestone after more than 40 years of tireless advocacy for ocean protection and also represents the first tribally nominated sanctuary in the nation. Today, my father would be proud. This is one of the things he wanted to see the most.” “It’s wonderful news that the Commerce Department continues to move the Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary proposal forward and is now seeking public input,” said U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. “This sanctuary would protect sacred Chumash cultural sites while helping combat climate change by saving one of the largest remaining kelp forests. It’s time to designate this important region off our coast as a permanent marine sanctuary.” Secretary of Interior Deb Haaland said the proposal demonstrates the Biden-Harris administration’s commitment to conservation and the economy. “Local voices, indigenous knowledge and collaborative stewardship will be integral to our efforts to bolster community resilience, protect our natural resources, and build a clean-energy economy.” In August, Mr. Carbajal wrote a letter along with Ms. Feinstein and U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla, as well as several members of the House’s California delegation, urging the Biden administration and the National Oceanic

Suspect identified in shooting SANTA BARBARA — Santa Barbara police detectives have identified the suspect in the Nov. 4 shooting in the first block of East Cota Street. Police say the suspect is Kevin Rios, 22, of Santa Barbara. He has not been apprehended. Mr. Rios is wanted on suspicion of attempted murder, Sgt. Ethan Ragsdale, the police department’s public information officer, said. Police say they believe Mr. Rios has a handgun, and they say he should be considered to be armed and dangerous. Mr. Rios was last seen in downtown Santa Barbara on Nov. 4, when the shooting occurred, Sgt. Ragsdale said. Mr. Rios is described as a Hispanic male adult, about 5’ 9”,

180 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. Anyone who sees Mr. Rios is asked to call 9-1-1 immediately. If you have non-urgent information pertaining to his whereabouts, contact the Santa Barbara Police Department Detective Bureau at 805-897-2345.

to SBCE customers. Those who receive a paper bill should have an explanation of the charge, as explained by SBCE. “It’s hard to believe that these (letters) were mistakes and then for them to raise the rates on the day that our program launched is very disappointing,” Mayor Cathy Murillo said. “I’m hoping that everybody in our corporate world and in our business and commerce world can become part of this solution related to changing our energy use.” The second phase of the rollout will affect commercial customers. The demand letter seeks that SCE pause automatic letters to commercial customers. SBCE has established programs alongside local businesses that give customers discounts on green technology. More programs will be introduced when SBCE has profits it can use to establish incentives. Most residential customers are on SBCE’s 100% green energy plan, which increases costs just above SCE’s. Just .6% have opted down to power their home with at least 50% green energy at or below SCE rates. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

why it would be rescheduled, Alelia Parenteau, acting sustainability and resilience co-director told the Council. Customers called the phone number provided, the SCE hotline, and were met with representatives unaware of the situation. “Many customers were directed to Clean Power Alliance, which serves Los Angeles County, or even up north to a variety of PG & E area community choice aggregators. And this caused a lot of confusion and, as you can imagine, a lot of frustration and was not the way that we wanted our program to be promoted,” Ms. Parenteau said. SCE told SBCE the letter was automatically sent after a glitch in the system. It struggled to fix the issue. “We did request Southern California Edison cease release of all automatic auto generated letters. They only agreed to do this for some and only for a limited amount of time, so we’re still working through that,” Ms. Parenteau said. Despite the confusion, 97% of Santa Barbara

residents remain enrolled in SBCE. Officials thought 20% would opt out initially. Ms. Parenteau thinks a larger bounce rate would have provoked action from the California Public Utilities Commission, which declined to act after seeing a small number of opt outs. CPUC Code of Conduct rules that the community program, not the utility company, has the exclusive right to contact customers and communicate opt-out procedures. “We did find a fairly significant number of instances where call center agents were telling SBCE customers to just call City Hall and opt out of the program, which is a violation of the code of conduct and so we’re continuing to work towards that,” Ms. Parenteau said. She also mentioned another SCE action she is worried will be attributed to SBCE: higher rates. “Southern California Edison did increase their delivery energy delivery rates substantially the same day that we launched our program. So Edison raised their rates by two cents per kilowatt hour which is over double the premium for 100% green and would have an average impact of about $10 per month on the average customer,” she said. SCE is responsible for delivering the energy

The Toyota truck, which remained on Anacapa Street while the Santa Barbara police and city fire departments responded, sustained moderate damage to the passenger side of its front end. The rear driver side of the Lexus was damaged as well, Sgt. Ethan Ragsdale, the Santa Barbara Police Department public information officer, told the NewsPress. Sgt. Ragsdale said he hasn’t seen the outcome of the investigation. After the collision, the Santa Barbara City Fire Department and AMR treated the young woman driving the Toyota for

minor injuries. Traffic was diverted around the Toyota until it was towed away.

Biden administration seeks to re-impose vaccine mandate By WILLIAM PATRICK THE CENTER SQUARE REGIONAL REPORTER

(The Center Square) — The Biden administration is asking a federal appeals court in New Orleans to lift a temporary order halting a federal COVID19 vaccination mandate on private businesses, while telling employers to comply with the mandate anyway. “We think people should not wait,” White House Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said. “We say, do not wait to take actions that will keep your workplace safe. It is important and critical to do, and waiting to get more people vaccinated will lead to more outbreaks and sickness.” The administration’s 28-page legal request was in response to a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals injunction that cited “grave statutory and constitutional issues” when suspending the mandate pending further litigation. The ruling stemmed from lawsuits filed Friday by a Louisiana businessman and several attorneys general, including Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry. The COVID-19 vaccination mandate applies nationally to businesses with 100 or more employees, affecting an estimated 84 million workers. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is enforcing the policy, which requires workers to be fully vaccinated by Jan. 4 or undergo weekly testing. “OSHA’s detailed analysis of the (mandate’s) impact shows that a stay would likely cost dozens or even hundreds of lives per day,” the administration’s

Monday court filing said. The administration claimed the OSHA’s authority is grounded in its traditional role of protecting workers from workplace dangers, such as exposure to “substances or agents” that are determined to be toxic. “The COVID-19 virus is both a physically harmful agent and a new hazard,” the court filing said. The filing further urged the court to lift the temporary stay and deny a request for a permanent injunction against the mandate, saying current legal objections are “premature” because of the policy’s Jan. 4 deadline. “Accordingly, there is no need to address petitioners’ stay motions now, and the Court should lift its administrative stay and allow this matter to proceed under the process that Congress set forth for judicial review of OSHA standards,” it said. The appeals court gave the administration until 5 p.m. Monday to respond to its weekend ruling. The court then gave Brandon Trosclair, a Louisiana businessman, until 5 p.m Tuesday to file a reply to the government’s response. Sarah Harbison, an attorney representing Mr. Trosclair and general counsel for the New Orleansbased Pelican Institute for Public Policy, said a final ruling could come as early as today. She said if the Fifth Circuit permanently blocks the mandate, the administration could appeal directly to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Border reopening fuels hope for state’s economic recovery By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER

(The Center Square) — The U.S. border reopened to fully vaccinated travelers from 33 countries Monday, and cities in the Golden State are hopeful for an economic boost after a tough year and a half for the tourism industry. Pandemic-induced travel restrictions barred foreign travelers from India, China and much of Europe from traveling to the U.S. for 19 months. During this same time, travel from Canada and Mexico was restricted to only workers whose jobs were considered essential, starting in March 2020. Fully vaccinated travelers were welcomed into the U.S. once again Monday, including at the land borders between Canada and Mexico. Travel officials across the state and nation eyed Monday’s international travel resumption as a key step toward recovery. “After nearly two years of restrictions, Monday begins in earnest the return of international travel, when longseparated families and friends can safely reunite, travelers can explore this amazing country and the U.S. is able to reconnect with the global community,” U.S. Travel Association President and CEO Roger Dow said in a statement. “It is a monumental day for travelers, for the communities and businesses that rely on international visitation and for the U.S. economy overall.” Multiple cities in California are

anxiously awaiting the return of travelers after a long period of restrictions. In the early morning hours Monday, the Los Angeles Times reported the line of cars waiting to enter San Diego stretched to Tijuana, while many more travelers entered the U.S. via airports across the nation. For travel officials in San Diego, the influx is welcome as the city expects that years of economic recovery remain. “The reopening of the border is welcome news and will help San Diego’s continued efforts to rebuild its tourism industry,” Jennifer Davies, the director of external affairs and cultural tourism for the San Diego Tourism Authority, told The Center Square. “While San Diego was one of the top performing destinations in the country in terms of hotel rates and occupancy, we expect our tourism economy won’t fully recover until 2024. The sooner international travel ramps back up, the quicker and more robust our local tourism industry will be able to rebound.” San Diego tourism lost 20 years of economic gains in the areas of employment, economic impact and visitor spending during 2020, according to Ms. Davies. Signs of a slow recovery appeared earlier this year, with tourism up more than 50% between January and July. Day visitation from Mexico made up almost one-fourth of all day visitation to the city before the pandemic and has been down an average of 63% each month. According to data from the

Postal schedule for Veterans Day In observance of Veterans Day, Postal Service facilities will be closed for retail transactions Thursday. There also will be no residential or business deliveries. Although there will be no regular mail service, Priority Mail Express is delivered 365 days a year and will be delivered on Thursday. Normal delivery and collection schedules will resume Friday. Stamps, meanwhile, are available at most grocery, pharmacy and convenience stores. For 24/7 access to most postal products and services, go to www.usps.com, where you can look up a ZIP Code, track a package, buy stamps, hold mail, print postage online, submit a change of address, schedule a package pickup and find USPS locations including self-service kiosks. The Postal Service generally receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.

tourism authority, day-trippers from Mexico have had an $85 million regional impact as of July; a low total compared with the $428 million in regional impact reported in 2019. Ms. Davies said the opening of the Mexico border will play a “critical part” in the recovery of the local tourism economy. Travel officials in other parts of the state were hopeful the return of international travel would bring a boost after a year and a half of pandemic-related closures. Officials in San Francisco called the return of international travel “vital” to the city’s recovery. The city ranks as one of the top destinations for international visitors, welcoming a record 2.9 million travelers in 2019. With the resumption of international travel, officials are hoping to see the robust return of travel from Europe. Before the pandemic began, Britain and Germany were among the top five international markets for visitor volume, and France, Britain and Italy were three of the fastestgrowing markets, according to a news release from the San Francisco Travel Association. “With the reopening of the U.S border and the increase in transatlantic flights to SFO, we expect to see European and U.K. tourist arrivals rebounding,” Joe D’Alessandro, president and CEO of San Francisco Travel Association, said in a statement.

You can’t fix it in a year.” Mr. Lavagnino and other board members noted the success of the criminal justice reform programs but also acknowledged the need for the Main Jail’s rehabilitation. “Ultimately it comes down to: Do I want to invest in the main jail or do I want to invest in these programs?” Supervisor Joan Hartmann told the board. “I’d rather invest in these programs, but I need to be assured that will get us somewhere.” Four of the five board members in time voiced their support of option 2. “I’d much rather be spending these dollars on roads, buildings and parks,” Supervisor Bob Nelson said. “But this is necessary in county government … I am supportive of option 2.” “The only ‘easy’ way out of this is just to build a new facility,” Mr. Lavagnino said. “Unfortunately, we can’t afford it. We’ve got to move forward with option 1 or option 2.” The rehabilitation project and the diversion programs will be revisited in future board meetings. email: fmcfarland@newspress.com

Gas prices account for a third of the increase INFLATION

“One-third of the October advance in the index for final demand goods can be traced to prices for gasoline, which rose 6.7 percent,” BLS said. “The indexes for diesel fuel, fresh and dry vegetables, gas fuels, jet fuel, and plastic resins and materials also moved higher. In contrast, prices for beef and veal decreased 10.3 percent.” According to the Automobile Club of Southern California, the average gasoline price for Santa Barbara County is $3.22 a gallon. That’s six cents a gallon higher

than last Thursday. three cents higher than last month and 32 cents higher than last year. On Tuesday, the News-Press found Goleta gas stations where prices for regular gasoline were $4.79 and $4.359 a gallon. In other economic sectors, construction became much more expensive across the nation. “Over 60 percent of the October increase in the index for final demand can be traced to a 1.2percent rise in prices for final demand goods,” BLS said. “The index for final demand services moved up 0.2 percent, and prices for final demand construction advanced 6.6 percent.” The Biden administration

has said the inflation is only temporary, but many economists have said it could continue well into 2023. The report came just days after promising jobs data. The Department of Labor reported that during October, payroll employment increased by 531,000, surpassing expectations. Republicans quickly laid the blame for the rising prices at the feet of President Joe Biden and pointed to inflation as a reason to stand up to Mr. Biden’s several trillion dollars in proposed new spending. Debt spending contributes to inflation since printed money helps fund federal debts.

“Democrats’ inflation crisis keeps getting worse,” said National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Mike Berg. “If they go through with their plans to spend trillions of dollars on a reckless big government tax and spending spree, things will only get worse.” Casey Harper works at The Center Square’s Washington, D.C., bureau.

SB City Council working to find permanent housing options HOUSING

Continued from Page A1 The City Council is currently working to find permanent housing options for participants of the safe shelter program, which is currently housing formerly homeless people in the Rose

Garden Inn. The Housing Authority’s executive director and CEO Rob Fredericks suggested the additional funding for Vera Cruz Village during the Oct. 19 City Council meeting when the safe shelter program was extended. “It’s incredibly important that

we seize on opportunities to get housing now for people who need it. So I am just really very proud of the work that’s gone into this. I’m very appreciative. Also, that everyone moves so quickly to make this happen,” Councilmember Meagan Harmon said during the Finance Committee meeting.

The complex will have 28 studio apartments and one one-bedroom manager apartment. Low income housing tax credits, a conventional loan and a 30year loan of $2 million from the city funded the project’s initial estimates. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Then in 1992, she opened her first Trattoria Mollie on De la Vina Street in Santa Barbara, moving it the next year to Coast Village Road in Montecito. Mrs. Ahlstrand enjoyed long success with the restaurant, but told the News-Press that after the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, she felt ready to go into a new direction. The catering and cooking classes fit the bill as she keeps her customers in mind. “I wanted to start with my good customers and do whatever they need me to cook: small parties, big parties,” she said. Mrs. Ahlstrand explained she really never thought of the people in her restaurant as her customers. “They are my family. “I’m very grateful and fortunate for the past 30 years to have this wonderful community,”

HUGHES, Larry Anthony

On Friday, November 5th, 2021, Larry Anthony Hughes, a loyal and generous father, grandfather, husband and friend, left this earth life to be reunited with the love of his life, Joy Lynne Cudworth Hughes. Larry was born in Santa Barbara, CA, on December 4th, 1942. Larry spent his growing up years riding horses and hunting in the Santa Barbara mountains. As a young teenager, he was tasked with working the stables at Santa Barbara Fiesta which led to a moment that changed his life. That moment was when he saw Joy for the first time. They were both 13 years old, but he left that day and told his friend he had met the girl he was going to marry. They spent that summer riding horses all over Santa Barbara and courted for the next 8 years before marrying on February 22nd, 1964. Aside from spending time with Joy throughout high school, Larry was known for his prowess on the football field. His claim to fame was scoring the first touchdown ever for San Marcos High School at La Playa Stadium. After high school he chose to forego collegiate football to study plumbing and train as an apprentice. He was a journeyman plumber of the Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 114. He spent 60 years providing plumbing services for many residents of Santa Barbara and the Santa Ynez Valley. He was known for his honest and high quality work. Many evenings and weekends, he could be found helping out a friend or neighbor with projects and repairs that were needed. Additionally he taught for the Union’s apprenticeship program for many years, passing his knowledge on to the younger plumber. Joy and Larry spent the first few years of marriage in Santa Barbara where their three children Kym, Carol and Don, were born. They enjoyed being close to family in the area but decided to move to the Santa Ynez Valley to raise their children. Larry was a supportive and dedicated father who set an example of work ethic that each of them have followed. He would drive half way across the country to pick up livestock for his kids to raise and sell at the fair, spend hours in the gym watching his son play basketball (or just yelling at the refs) and used any free time he had to take the family camping. A few of his favorite camping spots were June Lake, Kingsburg, the mojave desert and trips to Oklahoma. June Lake is a treasured family spot as he spent many summers there with Joy, “frolicking” (his words) in the meadow at Lee Vining as well as camping and fishing with his kids and grandkids. Many hours were spent on his pontoon boat with his grandkids, where the slightest nibble would send the panic level from 0-100 in a nanosecond. Despite his sometimes gruff exterior and his “breakaway” belt, Larry had a heart of gold and would do anything for Joy and his kids. Other than Joy and the family, Larry’s greatest love was trap shooting. He was known throughout the state as one of the best trapshooters, earning countless awards and titles at the state and local level. Understanding the importance of continuing the sport, he served on the Board of the CGSTA and would often share his experience with the young ones. He had advice and answers for everyone whether you asked him or not. He generously supported the local gun clubs, specifically Santa Maria, and Santa Ynez, where he shot his last shoot on October 31, 2021. When he wasn’t on the trap line, he was easy to find in the clubhouse with his buddies playing a heated game of poker. Coming in a close second to his love of trapshooting, was his enjoyment of basketball. He was a lifelong Laker fan, almost never missing a game. He played basketball with local friends well past his prime, where he was known for his three point shot attempts and nicknamed “The Legend.” Despite his sometimes gruff exterior and his “breakaway” belt, Larry had a heart of gold and would do anything for Joy, his kids and especially his grandkids. He tolerated trips to Disneyland, patiently taught them to fish, drove the grandkids on ATVs, tried to keep them safe by discouraging running by the pool and jumping off the roof and gave neighborhood tours in his golf cart. He loved and encouraged each of his grandkids in the avenues they have pursued and was proud of each one of them. The Hughes traits of hard work, sarchasm, generosity, sense of humor, patriotism, love of outdoors and competitive spirit live in each of his kids and grandkids. For this, we are so grateful to be part of his legacy! Larry is survived by his three children Kym, Carol (Randy) and Don (Amy) and nine grandchildren, Chase, Andy, Daci, Jordon, Jared, Luke, Alex, Kara and Owen, his brother Jerry (Terry), stepmom Shelby and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his sweetheart Joy, his parents, and his sister Terry. Graveside services will be held at Oak Hill Cemetery in Ballard on Thursday, November 11th, 2021, at 11 am. A Celebration of Life will also be held at the Santa Maria Gun Club on Saturday, November 20th, 2021, at 11 am.

JONES, Joan Mitchell Fuhrman

Joan Mitchell Fuhrman Jones went peacefully to her blessed Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, shortly after midnight on October 14, 2021, at Mercy Hospital, Springfield, Missouri, after a more than 40-year battle with cancer and 12 years of suffering with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), which left her sick in body but clear and bright in mind and spirit. Joan was born in Dubuque, Iowa on December 29, 1932, to John Joseph Fuhrman and Helen Mitchell Peterson Fuhrman. She grew up in Bettendorf, graduated from Davenport High School in 1950 and from Grinell College in 1954 pursuing her passion with a major in Art. Later, during an 18-year professional public relations career with the YWCA in Iowa, Texas, Virginia, and California and with the American Red Cross in Los Angeles, she further honed her graphic skills. For fun, she designed costumes for a professional theater company in North Hollywood. In 1970, Joan met her future husband, Earl (Dick) Jones through a mutual friend, and they were married on May 27, 1972, at El Montecito Presbyterian Church in Montecito, California. They enjoyed a loving and caring relationship which lasted 49 years. In 1973, the couple moved from North Hollywood to Yucca Valley, near Palm Springs, briefly to Ridgecrest, and in 1977 to Lompoc, California -- moves related to Dick’s work. In 1973, Joan began a 45-year career doing what she loved most – painting, specializing in watercolors and pastels. Her favorite subjects were figures, mostly models, and townscapes, from locations in Mexico, Norway, and the central coast of California. During this period, Joan created hundreds of paintings. Her work has been shown in dozens of juried shows and galleries throughout California’s Central Coast, in Prescott, Arizona and in Alamos, Mexico. She has received dozens of honors and awards. In recent years, she took up jewelry design and producing many on-line video programs. Joan was a long-time member of PEO, Chapter DP, of St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, subsequently of Bethany Lutheran Church, and more recently of Trinity Church of the Nazarene, all in Lompoc, California. While she was able, Joan was very active, attending meetings and services and participating in Bible study groups. She loves the Lord dearly and, without doubt, the feeling is mutual. A memorial service will be held at 3:00 p.m. Wednesday, November 24, 2021 in Gorman-Scharpf Funeral Home, Springfield, MO. Online condolences may be left at gormanscharpf.com.

mission, which is fostering the conservation of California’s native plants. In its inaugural year, the 2019 Casitas program featured six unique designs built in partnership with local businesses and talent. Each nature playhouse invited garden guests to explore, discover and experience firsthand the wonder of nature through whimsical, interactive exhibits that were featured from six months to two years. “We’re thrilled to be bringing

our Casitas program back with the public opening of this new garden space in June 2022,” said Joe Rothleutner, director of horticulture and facilities. “This is such a fun and creative way to promote local talent while adding a new immersive dimension to the garden.

ou and your partner walk by one another without so much as a word spoken, and the thought of touching or caressing each other is as far from your desires as the moon. You may have been living in separate rooms, and divorce may not have been mentioned, but the thought of it is almost a constant in each other’s mental universe. Emotionally, the two of you are in a negative feedback loop, and if you don’t break it, it may well cause a breakup. When discord is ever present in a relationship, there is little room for enjoying life together. The resentment can be so thick that everyone else notices. Friends may even try to avoid you because they don’t want to get caught up in the emotional destruction derby. Many people see negative behaviors and bad vibes as something to steer away from, and you may be feeling exactly the same way.

as a result. You can begin the healing process by being kinder to each other. This can be as little as saying hello when your partner comes through the door. The point is to try to acknowledge each other in a friendly way whenever you’re together. There’s nothing worse than living with someone who is putting out anger and venom when you’re around. Most people feel it but don’t truly understand what’s beneath the hostility. Admittedly, things can get pretty confusing if this dynamic has been happening for a long time. As a couple, your best course of action is to agree that you have both been disagreeable for a while now and that the time has come to drop your resentments and start afresh. This is an excellent exercise for all couples.

Lastly, you should remind each other of your commitment to healing the relationship. Promise one another that you are going to work through the misery and that you will use warmth and kindness as you work on making things better between the two of you. Working things out may not be as simple as it sounds. In fact, you can count on this project requiring some consistent effort. The worthwhile reward will be having your relationship back on a positive track and ready to move forward again. Barton Goldsmith, Ph.D., LMFT, is an award-winning therapist and writer.

The community is invited to attend the Santa Ynez Valley Interfaith Thanksgiving Service at 6 p.m. Nov. 23 at St. Marks-in-theValley Episcopal Church. The church is at 2901 Nojoqui Ave, Los Olivos. The service is sponsored by St. Marks-in-the Valley Church, along with the Santa Ynez Valley Jewish Community and Solvang-based Bethania Lutheran Church. The services will include representatives of Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist and other faith communities.

“We gather together with our neighbors and friends of all faiths, or of none, to give thanks for the many blessings we enjoy in our diverse community. We invite you to join us,” said the Rev. Randall Day of St. Mark’s-in-the-Valley. “Join us as we express gratitude for our community, our interfaith friendships and for the ability to do the work we are blessed to do together, work that makes the world a better place,” said Rabbi Debi Lewis of the Santa Ynez Valley Jewish Community. A reception in Stacey Hall will follow the service, featuring sweet and savory refreshment and nonalcoholic beverages as well as

beverages from Los Olivos Wine Merchant and Cafe. “In a time of such polarization and struggle in our society, coming together from different backgrounds in gratitude for what we have and what we commit to work toward can be such a meaningful and powerful experience,” added Pastor Chris Brown of Bethania Lutheran Church. Attendees of the event are asked to be vaccinated and to wear a mask indoors. They’re also advised to dress warmly as doors and windows will be open for fresh air and safety. “Thanksgiving is about gathering together and giving thanks. This service is a special opportunity

to observe the heart of the Thanksgiving holiday,” said Rev. Day. In addition to this event, the community is invited to attend a simple service at 9 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day at St. Mark’s-inthe-Valley. Family, friends, neighbors, acquaintance, and strangers are welcome, as always, to begin the celebration of this national holiday and a feast day in the Episcopal Church.

One thing is certain: Action must be taken if you want to save the relationship. To begin the process, you must both get out of denial mode and admit to each other that a problem exists. You will have to put your differences aside so that you can, at the very least, begin to talk about what’s been going on. Breaking out of this negative pattern will require a new game plan. Maybe it’s time to see a counselor. Perhaps an apology — or a lot more than one apology — needs to be made. It could all have started with one really big misunderstanding. You can’t fix something unless you know what’s broken. Identifying the beginning of your relationship’s downward spiral can be enlightening, but you also have to heal the pain that has occurred

During the virtual presentation, Mr. Brielle and Mr. Boettner will tell the story of how “Island Visions” was born, filling the evening with stories told through conversations,

photography and artwork from their new book. The book was a seven-year project that involved more than 40 scientists, fishermen, and other maritime and Channel Island experts. While the book is suitable for all, its aim is to introduce children to the local environment and the importance of conservation, according to a news release. “On a ninth-grade outdoor

expedition with Santa Barbara Middle School, we had the privilege of experiencing the wonders of the Channel Islands. We also met ocean filmmaker Mike deGruy, who taught us that every place, every creature, has a story. ‘Island Visions’ is our effort to help share these stories,” said Mr. Brielle when asked why they decided to write the book. — Katherine Zehnder

Hudson would love to explore the world with you. Known for his love for hikes and walks (and full-grown at 35 pounds), the 2-year-old dog is awaiting adoption at Santa Ynez Valley Humane Society/DAWG in Buellton.

The staff believes the playful dog is a beagle/pointer mix and says he loves adventures. And staff members say Hudson needs a secure backyard. He can leap and climb over a five-foot fence. To meet Hudson, go to www. syvhumane.org/adoptions. — Dave Mason

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.

ARIES — You feel wonderful and you’re looking great. Expect to draw some admiring glances! The only downside to this is that you feel stronger than you are. If you try to get too much done today, you might tire yourself out and feel exhausted tomorrow. Eat right, get enough rest, and pace yourself. You’ll still accomplish everything you need to do. TAURUS — A romantic haze surrounds love relationships. You could be thinking that your romantic partner has stepped out of a fairy tale. Yet even storybook heroes and heroines have flaws but flaws can be endearing! Your creative energy should be very high. Artistic projects may have an otherworldly quality about them that boosts their quality and impact. Go for it! GEMINI — You might host a group meeting or other social event. Your guests may be artistically or spiritually inclined. The evening should be a social success and an inspiring experience. Before they come, make sure everything’s in place and working, from light bulbs to kitchen equipment. You don’t want minor malfunctions to put a damper on the evening. CANCER — If you’ve been thinking about writing, this is the day to get started. Your mind is particularly sharp and your imagination rich. Unusual developments, mostly positive, could take place in your neighborhood. You might not know the facts about exactly what’s going on, and a lot of unfounded rumors could be circulating. Reserve any opinion until you know the truth. LEO — Money matters continue to go well, though you don’t feel as secure about them as you should. A previously unsung talent, perhaps for the arts, healing, working with technology, or all three could come to light. You could look into ways to train it. You might want to explore different options. Your decision might surprise you. VIRGO — Today you should feel especially idealistic, imaginative, intuitive, and spiritually inclined. You project an otherworldly aura that attracts more attention, such as admiring glances, than you’re used to. Love matters should be going well now, as a fairytale atmosphere permeates your life. Enjoy it while you can. You’ll be back to reality in a few days! LIBRA — You might walk

around in a romantic, imaginative, spiritual fog with your head in the clouds. Everything may seem perfect and wonderful - perhaps too wonderful to be true. Working with equipment of some kind, perhaps computers or other electronics could help you hang on to reality. You might take this opportunity to train in computer graphics or sound engineering. SCORPIO — Romantic notions about friends seem to be the energy driving you today. You might see a longtime friend in a new light as a possible romantic partner. A group could seem to be the answer to all your problems. You could suddenly be convinced that you have the most wonderful friends in the world. An outlook like this can be good as long as you don’t start thinking everyone’s perfect! SAGITTARIUS — Because your working life is going well, you might indulge in daydreams in which you’re at the top of the heap, perhaps even famous! This is a good place to start on your path to advancement, but don’t stay there. Use your practicality to map out a workable course of action. Dreams don’t come true by themselves. They manifest through planning and hard work. CAPRICORN — Your mind may be on spiritual or philosophical subjects and considering fascinating new ideas. Some of these may come from faraway lands, which might have you considering travel. Friends or groups may bring these ideas your way or you could present the concepts to them. Take a walk before going to bed or you’ll never get to sleep with all these ideas buzzing through your mind! AQUARIUS — Romance might take a front seat in your thoughts today. You could have some unusual dreams tonight. They might be romantic or they could prove artistically inspiring, or both. Write them down, for they may reveal new facts about you that could make a difference. Your thoughts about money could sway between confidence and panic. Don’t lose sight of the facts! PISCES — Today your mind may be on romance. If you’re married, you’ll grow closer to your partner. If you’re single but involved, the relationship could move to the next level of commitment. If you aren’t involved, expect to meet someone new and exciting. Warm feelings of unity and intimacy could fill your heart. See and accept your partner as he or she is.

Los Angeles enacts strict vaccination mandates By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER

(The Center Square) — The city of Los Angeles enacted some of the nation’s strictest COVID-19 vaccination mandates Monday for all people 12 and older. Residents 12 and older now are required to show proof of vaccination to enter establishments where food or beverage is served, gyms and fitness centers, entertainment and recreation venues (movie theaters, concert venues, shopping centers, museums), personal care establishments (salons, barbershops) and any city facility. Those who obtained a medical or religious exemption can use an outdoor area if it is available at each establishment. If no outdoor area is available, patrons must show proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours to enter. Businesses or venues that do not comply with the order will face a series of escalating penalties, starting first with a warning, then a series of $1,000 fines. For a fourth and any subsequent violation, businesses will be fined

$5,000. Enforcement of the program, known as SafePassLA, will not begin until Nov. 29. The Los Angeles City Council voted on the mandate in early October with hopes the requirement will help slow the spread of the coronavirus in higherrisk settings. “The United States has a long history with vaccines, which are scientifically proven to be safe, effective, reliable, and necessary,” council member Mitch O’Farrell said in a statement to The Center Square. “The ultimate protection is for everyone to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 so all of Los Angeles can have a full and complete public health and economic recovery.” The city’s requirement was put in place days after Los Angeles County implemented a similar but less widespread requirement for certain indoor establishments. Under the county’s requirement, eligible county residents are required to show proof of vaccination to enter indoor areas of bars, nightclubs and wineries as of Nov. 4. In addition, the county “strongly recommends “restaurant operators

retired Brig. Gen. Donald Bolduc, has filed paperwork to run for the U.S. Senate in New Hampshire in next year’s election. Ms. Hassan, a former governor, kicked off her re-election campaign several weeks ago with a TV ad emphasizing her efforts to reach across the political aisle to work on bipartisan legislation. Mr. Sununu, the heir to one of New Hampshire’s most storied political dynasties, was the youngest governor in the country when he took office in 2017. He is now 47. He handily won a third term in the November 2020 elections with more than 65% of the vote, according to results. A recent poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center showed Mr. Sununu with a small lead over Ms. Hassan in a potential 2022 matchup between them. On Tuesday, Mr. Sununu acknowledged that the race is significant to the Republican Party’s efforts to win back a majority in the Senate but said the Beltway isn’t for him. “I’d rather push myself 120-miles-an-hour delivering wins for New Hampshire, than to slow down and end up on Capitol Hill debating partisan politics without results,” Mr. Sununu said.

Members of the public also were among the thousands in attendance. According to the Los Angeles Times, members of the crowd chanted, “We will not comply,” in protest of mandates for county and city workers in Los Angeles. Under a county ordinance ratified in August, all workers were required to be vaccinated by Oct. 1, while city workers have until Dec. 18 to be fully vaccinated. Those who do not comply with the orders risk losing their jobs. Madison Hirneisen covers California for The Center Square.

(The Center Square) — Ending months of speculation, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu said he won’t be running for the U.S. Senate in next year’s midterm elections. Mr. Sununu, a Republican, told reporters Tuesday he will be seeking a fourth term as New Hampshire’s governor and won’t be jumping into the fray of Washington politics. “My responsibility is not to the gridlock and politics of Washington, it’s for the citizens of New Hampshire,” Mr. Sununu said during a briefing in Concord, N.H. “We have a lot more to do to protect the interests of New Hampshire citizens, and it’s just clear that I can be most effective doing that here in the corner office in the Granite State.” Mr. Sununu was being urged by national GOP groups to challenge incumbent Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan as part of the party’s strategy to reclaim the U.S. Senate in the midterm elections. Republicans and Democrats each hold 50 seats in the Senate with Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris serving as a tiebreaking vote. To date, only one Republican candidate,
