The Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce celebrated the success of local businesses and looked toward the future during its Regional Business Awards ceremony Thursday.

“We are excited to be honoring these phenomenal organizations who contribute to a strong business economy and inspire quality of life in our communities,” said Kristen Miller, the chamber’s president and CEO. During the ceremony at the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort, a new board of directors was approved. The outgoing members were honored, and added members, such as Tyler Duncan (owner of Rusty’s Pizza) and Steven Janciek (general manager of The Ritz-Carlton Bacara in Goleta), were warmly welcomed.

Also, the former chair of the board, Trevor Large, “passed the gavel” to Joey Zumaya, whose call to action is for everyone in the community to “get involved.”

In addition to this, Mr. Zumaya revealed the Chamber of Commerce’s priorities for the year: housing, economic challenges on Santa Barbara’s State Street and hospitality. In closing, Mr. Zumaya stressed the importance of local businesses in Santa Barbara, noting that even though Santa Barbara is beautiful, its hospitality industry could not run for a day without its local businesses.

Three men charged in two separate Santa Barbara County cases with murder for allegedly supplying fentanyl to two victims who overdosed and died last year are scheduled to return to court next month to have dates set for their preliminary hearings.

One of the men, Dillon Johnson, 35, is charged in one of the cases.

Two others — Jonathan Eric Fleischer, 41, and Edward William Wysel, 52 — are charged in the other case.

All three defendants appeared in court last week to set dates for their respective preliminary hearings, but both cases were continued to March 13, according to Senior Deputy Attorney Anthony S. Davis.

Mr. Fleischer and Mr. Wysel are charged with murder in the death of Z. Raymond, prosecutors said in their complaint. The victim died sometime between Aug. 8 and Aug. 10.

The two defendants also are charged with the possession and transportation for sale of a controlled substance, fentanyl.

The charge carries special allegations that, among other things, they caused great bodily injury to the victim, that the crime disclosed a high degree of cruelty, viciousness or callousness, and that their violent conduct indicates a serious danger to society.

The case stemmed from an OD investigation by the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office.

No other details were available.

It was the second case filed by the District Attorney’s Office involving people charged with murder for supplying drugs to someone who died as a result.

The first involved Mr. Nelson.

A Goleta man charged with gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated for allegedly causing a head-on collision that killed two women in a highway crash last October is scheduled to appear in court next week for arraignment.

Kyle Nelson, 23, first appeared in court for arraignment in December in connection with the Oct. 28 fatal accident, but his case was continued.

His arraignment is now scheduled to be heard on Feb. 9, prosecutors said.

Mr. Nelson is accused of driving while under the influence of drugs and crashing into a car on State Route 1 in Gaviota, killing Jenna Corrin Causby, 19, and Dorothy Guthrie, 20, both of Lompoc.

In addition to two felony counts of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, Mr. Nelson is charged with driving under the influence of any drug causing injury. All charges are felonies.

FOLLOW US ON

Prosecutors included a special allegation that Mr. Nelson committed the alleged crime after being released from custody either on bail or his own recognizance in connection with an unrelated case.

The complaint against him also lists aggravating factors, in that the alleged crime involved great violence, great bodily harm or other acts disclosing a high degree of cruelty, viciousness or callousness, and that the victims were particularly vulnerable.

According to the California Highway Patrol, Mr. Nelson was driving a Ford C-Max south on Route 1 at 80 mph when he approached a northbound Chevy Malibu driven by Ms. Causby. Ms. Guthrie was her passenger.

The 4 a.m. crash occurred as Mr. Nelson overtook slower southbound traffic directly ahead of his vehicle, and he chose to pass them by illegally driving over the solid double yellow line, the CHP said. He ended up driving south in the No. 1 northbound lane, directly into the path of Ms. Causby’s car.

Ms. Causby, realizing his Ford was traveling the wrong way, turned her Malibu to the right

Security measures such as cameras are in place to prevent further vandalism at Dos Pueblos High School, where a swastika was discovered on a pole in the stadium.

A custodial team removed the swastika immediately at the Goleta campus, and the investigation continues.

“While we have not determined the perpetrator, Santa Barbara Unified condemns this hateful act in the strongest possible terms,” said Ed Zuchelli, chief of communications at Santa Barbara Unified School District.

“Several security measures are in place in an effort to prevent future vandalism and keep students safe,” Mr.

Zuchelli told the News-Press on Thursday.

“We have security cameras in place throughout the campus and four full-time campus security assistants who regularly patrol the campus during school hours,” he said. “Due to the large campus and multiple entry points on evenings and weekends, we also rely on public users of the space to say something if they see something suspicious.”

There is also a school resource officer — a Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s deputy — assigned to Dos Pueblos. (The Sheriff’s Office handles law enforcement matters in Goleta.)

Mr. Zuchelli stressed Santa Barbara Unified opposes antiSemitic acts and will continue to educate students and the Please see ANTI-SEMITIC on A4

in an attempt to avoid a head-on crash. At the same time, however, Mr. Nelson turned his Ford to the left, and the front of his vehicle collided head-on with the front of her Malibu, the CHP said.

The force of the collision rotated both vehicles in a counterclockwise direction.

The Malibu was propelled to the east shoulder where it came to rest facing a westerly direction. The Ford came to rest in the northbound lanes, facing a westerly direction.

After the collision, both vehicles became engulfed in flames.

The Santa Barbara County Fire Department responded to tackle the fire and pronounced both victims dead at the scene.

Mr. Nelson sustained major injuries and was transported to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital.

He was arrested by California Highway Patrol officers on suspicion of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated.

for a report of a found body.

The deceased 30-year-old man, Mathew Justin Dyet, was discovered with narcotics and drug paraphernalia in his possession, police said, adding that his cause of death was determined to be acute fentanyl intoxication.

The investigation by Santa Barbara police detectives and the District Attorney’s Office took months, but detectives were able to identify Mr. Johnson as the alleged drug dealer who allegedly supplied Mr. Dyet with the fentanyl that caused his death.

Detectives served the warrant Sept. 1 and arrested Mr. Johnson in the 7100 block of Hollister Avenue in Goleta. A search conducted after his arrest allegedly revealed quantities of narcotics that constitute possession with the intent to distribute, police said.

Prosecutors charged him with murder, alleging he directly supplied Mr. Dyet with the fentanyl that caused his death between April 28 and 29. He also was charged with the possession and transportation for sale of fentanyl.

Former District Attorney Joyce Dudley said at the time that when “anyone who knew or should have known that their actions could cause death to another, the appropriate charge is murder.”

“As Joyce indicated, these are the first two cases of their kind filed locally, where individuals were charged with murder for providing drugs leading to someone’s death,” Mr. Davis added. “Her comments, regarding innocence until proven guilty, as well as the appropriateness of charging anyone with murder under such circumstances, apply to all three charged defendants.”

State Route 1 to be closed LOMPOC — A rock scaling operation on State Route 1 near Lompoc will continue next week and will result in a detour for travelers on Tuesday.

According to Caltrans, there will be a hard closure from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. of southbound Route 1/ North 12th Street at the junction of State Route 246 and State Route 1 in Lompoc.

Travelers will not be able to go south on State Route 1 but can continue east on State 246 in Buellton to reach southbound Highway 101.

Caltrans said crews will rappel down the hillside above the roadway to dislodge debris and rock. Clean up will follow before reopening the roadway to travel.

This road work also took place on Jan. 26.

Rock scaling is performed as a preventative maintenance measure to help ensure the safety of all travelers, according to Caltrans.

Message and directional signs will be in place to alert travelers in the area. Caltrans advises motorists to allow extra time during their commute.

introduced the legislative proposal to impose a pricegouging penalty on big oil firms.

“High profits alone are not an indication that oil companies targeted California,” Sen. Skinner said. “But there’s no denying that California’s gas prices last summer were $2.60 a gallon higher than any other state. There is no legitimate explanation for that. It’s also true that those high prices contributed to the windfall profits.”

public’s help to find a missing juvenile.

Alberto Rafael Cabrera Corona, 14, was reported missing by his father on Jan. 27, after leaving his home the night before and not returning. His parents last saw him at 8 p.m. Jan. 26.

Lompoc police officers received further information that on the early morning hours of Jan. 28, the vehicle Alberto was allegedly traveling in became stuck in the mud at the far west end of Lompoc.

Sgt. Jorge Magana said on Thursday that Alberto was with two known subjects in the vehicle and that all three left the vehicle.

While walking back to Lompoc, they disagreed on which way to go, so Alberto walked northbound and the other juveniles walked eastbound and reached Lompoc, Sgt. Magana said.

He added that Lompoc police detectives have conducted numerous interviews and have been following up on potential leads but have yet to locate Alberto.

Alberto is 5 foot 8 inches, weighs 120 pounds and has black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a black beanie, white long sleeve shirt, gray zip-up jacket, black pants and black Nike Air Force 1 shoes.

If you have information on Alberto’s whereabouts, call the Lompoc Police Department at 805-736-2341.

President Joe Biden has extended his major disaster declaration to include Ventura County.

Issued after the recent storms, the declaration has covered Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties.

The addition of Ventura County was pushed by U.S. Rep. Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, over the past few weeks in the aftermath of heavy storms and flooding across the Central Coast.

President Biden’s approval of individual assistance through the Federal Emergency Management Agency allows Ventura County residents and business owners to apply directly for aid to cover home repairs, rent and temporary lodging, unemployment and child care expenses, and other incidentals related to flooding and storm damage.

In a news release, Rep. Carbajal said he has been urging President Biden and FEMA to remember Ventura County residents and to approve disaster aid to help them. He noted he has seen firsthand the devastation in the three counties he represents, which also include Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties.

“I encourage anyone affected

by floods and stormwater in our region to go to DisasterAssistance.gov to learn more about filing a claim,” Rep. Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, said.

Disaster-related assistance provided by FEMA can include: • Rental payments for temporary housing for those whose homes are unlivable.

• Grants for home repairs and replacement of essential household items.

• Unemployment payments for workers who temporarily lost jobs because of the disaster and do not qualify for state benefits (self-employed).

• Low-interest loans to cover residential losses not fully compensated by insurance.

• Crisis counseling for those traumatized by the disaster.

• Advisory assistance for legal veterans’ benefits and social security matters.

Small Business Administration loans may also be available to individuals and businesses to repair or replace disaster-damaged property, inventory and supplies.

Individuals living in all three counties can find more information in English and Spanish at carbajal.house.gov/ storm. Claims can be started at disasterassistance.gov.

best to all our seniors in the next chapter of their lives and want to express my gratitude for the opportunity to be the head coach this season.”

The boys team never held a lead, surrendering a goal early at the three minute mark. Dos Pueblos would tie 20 minutes later on a goal by Kai Laub assisted by Drew Hammers and Miguel Greenberg. Ventura took the lead for good on goals at 39 minutes and 43 minutes. Dos pueblos scored a second goal at 49 minutes, but allowed another two minutes later to conclude the scoring.

“I want to thank all of our players, and especially the 14 seniors for an incredible season,” said boys Coach Matt York.

“Though we didn’t make the playoffs, we fought really hard in the second half of league.

After starting the year one and nine we really played some great soccer towards the end. This group will be remembered for their incredible personalities, great overall character, and cohesiveness as both friends and teammates.”

SM boys soccer beats Pacifica The San Marcos boys soccer team defeated Pacifica on Wednesday, winning by a score of 2-0.

San Marcos’ first goal was scored by Favi Rosales with an assist from Luis Botello in the first 12 minutes of play, and was followed ten minutes later by a Leonel Olivo goal assisted by Luke Sheffey.

“Pacifica is another good team with lots of attacking talent and this game served as great preparation for our playoff run,” said San Marcos Coach Paul McLean. “We thought that Yael Garay did a great job at right back tonight. He didn’t get beat on the dribble, he passed well and won balls in the air. Yael was excellent. Luis Botello and John Najera helped us keep possession in the midfield and our attacking group was effective. This group is excited to play in the CIF playoffs!”

San Marcos finished the season with a 13-0-1 in league play to earn first place, and sport a 14-1-2 overall record.

UCSB’s Wilcox notches 1,000th career kills in loss to waves

By KRISTEN KELLER UCSB SPORTS

After a week off from competition, the No. 15 UCSB men’s volleyball team (1-7) was back in action. They made the trip south to Malibu as they took on the No. 5 Pepperdine University Waves. After three sets, it was the Waves who came out victorious as the Gauchos were swept (2523, 25-21, 25-21).

HOW IT HAPPENED The Gauchos stepped on the court in Malibu ready for a battle, and that is exactly what they brought. These two teams duked it out for every single point before UCSB

pulled ahead with a three-point lead.

When that happened, senior Ryan Wilcox registered his second kill of the match but the 1,000th of his career. Even with a Gaucho reaching this milestone, UCSB couldn’t maintain the lead, ultimately dropping the first set 25-23.

The remaining two sets told a similar story. Both the Waves and Gauchos collided for the remainder of the game, going point-for-point. By the end of each set, Pepperdine squeaked their way ahead of the Gauchos, resulting in 25-21 losses in the final two sets for UCSB.

LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS • Owen Birg finished the night with the

most kills, registering a career-high 16 kills in his first start as a Gaucho.

• As mentioned above, Wilcox hit one of the biggest career milestones in the sport during this game on his way to a 15kill match. He only made two errors on the night as he finished with a .565 hitting percentage. Along with that, Wilcox added on two blocks.

• Max Gordon was a huge asset in the back row for the Gauchos. He ended the night with 15 digs, his highest number this season.

• Jack Walmer led the offensive efforts as the team’s sole setter. He ended the night with 36 while also notching the team’s only ace.

UCSB women’s tennis home opener set for Feb. 12

UP NEXT The Gauchos will return to Rob Gymnasium for the first time since the Asics Invitational as they return the favor and host the No. 5 Waves. First serve will be at 7 p.m. with Rally Poms given to fans in attendance while supplies last. For those who can’t make it to Rob Gym, a live stream will be available through ESPN+ along with live stats.

Kristen Keller is the associate athletic director for communications and digital strategy at UCSB.

Continued from Page A3 the 10th ranked partnership in the country to help UCSB steal the doubles point from the Tigers. In singles, Honer scored another point for the Gauchos by taking down the 43rd-ranked singles player in the country.

The following day against then-number-19 Arizona State, Honer and Reuter faced off with the Sun Devils’ top doubles team, ranked 9th in the country, but their match did not finish. Honer, herself ranked 49th among singles players, won the first set of her singles match, but the dual ended before her match could.

Honer and the Gauchos play their home opener next, welcoming #24 USC to the Arnhold Tennis Center for a noon dual on Feb. 12. A new set of ITA rankings for singles players and doubles partnerships will be released ahead of that match, on Feb. 8.

Local businesses honored by Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce CHAMBER

Continued from Page A1

The Santa Barbara area company was started in 1996, and it has been the company’s goal, ever since, to “be a real estate company that gave back to the community,” said company owner Renee Grubb, who accepted the award.

She noted Village Properties has donated to schools and eventually started a program called the Teacher’s Fund, which was created to help Santa Barbara County teachers get the tools and materials they need for their classrooms and their students.

Over the years, Village Properties has donated $2 million to Santa Barbara public and private school teachers. In the years recovering from COVID19, Village Properties has also worked with the Chamber of Commerce to provide critical data about the housing market, giving significant help to the community.

The Small Business of the Year award was presented to JR Bookkeeping, which was started in 2012 by sisters Juliana and Natalia Ramirez, who are very passionate about supporting and investing in the community — which they recognize as the reason for their success. They started their business in their living room and now serve Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, celebrating their 10-year anniversary last April.

In the past 10 years, Juliana and Natalia have employed more than 40 individuals, the majority of whom have been women, and several have gone on to start bookkeeping businesses of their own.

JR Bookkeeping enjoys giving back to the community through several local organizations that were instrumental in their success in the early years.

The Entrepreneur of the Year award was given to Kyanna Isaacson, which she says is her greatest achievement. Mrs.

Isaacson started working at Jersey Mike’s 15 years ago, this Saturday.

In 2021, she opened her first Jersey Mike’s on Fairview Avenue in Goleta. Now, she owns 12 Jersey Mike’s (three locations in Santa Barbara and Goleta), and she chooses her locations carefully in order to give back to the community that supports her restaurants.

She has donated to nonprofits, and she is known for her generous support of many local schools and charities because of her business.

Most recently, she raised money for San Marcos High School in Santa Barbara.

The Milestone Business Award was given to the Santa Barbara Zoo for reaching its 60th anniversary this year. Santa Barbara Zoo President & CEO Rich Block accepted the award.

The zoo just opened its newest habitat, the Australian Walkabout, which features kangaroos, wallabies and emus.

The zoo’s “Early Explorers” program became the first licensed outdoor preschool in California, becoming a trailblazing preschool program in the state to connect young children with nature.

In addition, last year, the Santa Barbara Zoo was recertified as an autism center. In 2022, the zoo employed more than 300 regular and seasonal staff members, and it gave back more than $200,000 to support families, schools and other nonprofits to ensure that the zoo is accessible to everyone.

Mr. Block expressed his gratitude to the community for its support.

The Hospitality Business of the Year award was presented to the Santa Barbara Adventure Co. Founder Michael Cohen accepted the award after being introduced

by Kathy Janega-Dykes, president and CEO of Visit Santa Barbara.

Mr. Cohen’s company is celebrating 25 years of being in business.

In addition to supporting the tourism industry, Santa Barbara Adventure Co. incorporates

financial and logistical incentives to reuse, repair and reduce its carbon footprint through composting, electronic paperwork, recycling, zero waste reporting, waste management training and rewarding employees for zero waste practices.

The Community Business of the Year award was presented to Momentum WORK Inc., which provides a key bridge between local businesses who need a reliable workforce and people with disabilities who are able to contribute and want meaningful jobs.

Momentum WORK, Inc. was recently awarded a 3-Year CARF (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities), accreditation that signals a service provider’s commitment to continually improving services, encouraging feedback and serving the community. Jake Lowry of Momentum WORK Inc. accepted the award on behalf of the organization.

The Green Business of the Year was given to BEGA North America. Accepting the award were Shawn Webb and Ivan Gregory.

BEGA invested more than $4 million in solar energy production to power its electrical needs at the Carpinteria campus, eliminating reliance on traditional sources of electricity and reducing its carbon footprint by 903 metric tons annually. The solar energy project included 2,008 fully recyclable solar panels capable of generating an estimated annual production of 1,274,317 kWh of electricity.

The Nonprofit of the Year award was presented to the United Boys and Girls Clubs of Santa Barbara County. The award was accepted by CEO Michael Baker.

In 2021, the clubs opened as full-day learning and enrichment centers while schools remained closed. They also started serving hot dinners at all club locations as part of the Zero Hunger Food Program.

The clubs serve more than 3,000 youths annually, providing a safe, positive place to learn and grow. Promising their future resilience, the clubs claimed, “Whatever comes our way, we will be there.” email: cbeeghly@newspress.com

Penalty would return portion of profits to consumers via rebates Continued from Page A2 Watchdog noted that a California refiner, Marathon Petroleum, reported profits of 75 cents per gallon for 2022. Such profits indicate that Marathon Petroleum is “virtually doubling what it made the year before, strengthening the case for the California legislature to enact a windfall profits penalty,” according to a Consumer Watchdog statement.

Meanwhile, gas prices have been dropping in California, as

inflation, or a general rise in prices, is easing.

How long it will take legislators on the 18-member Senate Committee on Energy, Utilities, and Communications to move forward or not on the governor’s price-gouging penalty on major oil companies is unclear. As proposed, this penalty would return part of their profits to consumers in the form of rebates, with many details on that process unclear.

Democratic Sen. Steven Bradford is the chair of the California Legislative Black

Caucus, Chair of the Senate Committee on Energy, Utilities, and Communications, representing the Los Angeles County communities of Carson, Compton, Gardena, Harbor City, Hawthorne, Inglewood, Lawndale, Lennox, San Pedro, Torrance, Watts, Willowbrook, and Wilmington.

GOP Sen. Brian Dahle is the vice chair of the same committee, representing California’s 1st Senate District that contains all or parts of 11 counties, from Alpine, El Dorado, Lassen, Modoc, Nevada, Placer, Plumas,

Sacramento, Sierra, Siskiyou to Shasta.

There are 4 Republicans and 14 Democrats on the Senate Committee on Energy, Utilities, and Communications. There is no scheduled date for this committee to meet next.

In the meantime, Consumer Watchdog has recommended penalties begin after profits of 50 cents a gallon, as the Legislature is considering a bill, SBx12 (Skinner-D), to enact a windfall profits cap on how much oil refiners can make in profit per gallon of gasoline.

community in combating any and all acts of bias and hate. “If you see or hear anything, please report it to school site leaders.”

The discovery of the swastika comes as hateful anti-Semitic fliers were distributed in the Isla Vista/UCSB area.

“In general, seeing such a string of events in such a short period of time is unsettling and disheartening,” said Tessa Veksler, a UCSB student and a Jewish leader at the university.

Miss Veksler, a collegiate senator for UCSB’s College of Letters and Sciences, said about 400 to 500 fliers with anti-Semitic content were distributed on Tuesday.

“The fliers contained Holocaust denial and

common anti-Semitic tropes,” she said.

Six million Jews were killed by the Nazi regime and its allies during the Holocaust, prior to the regime’s defeat in World War II. “It is important to acknowledge that antiSemitism happens on all ends of the political spectrum,” Miss Veksler said. “I think it is difficult not to see a pattern in the rise in antiSemitic attacks, but … we don’t know who distributed these things.”

“The Jewish community has come together in a strong and empowering way,” said Miss Veksler, who’s co-president of UCSB’s Students Supporting Israel and campus liaison on UCSB’s Chabad board. “It is important to shine light on the incredible response from the Jewish community and non-Jewish community to be proactive supporters.”

Rabbi Evan Goodman of Santa Barbara

Hillel, which serves Jewish students at UCSB and in Isla Vista, said, “All of these antiSemitic flyers, graffiti and literature are horrible and create a sense of discomfort, unease and threat in the community and need to be condemned by the entire community, not just the Jewish community.”

He also commented on the swastika.

“As a parent of two students who graduated from Dos Pueblos, that incident especially pains me,” Rabbi Goodman told the NewsPress. “These events are extremely visible.”

Rabbi Goodman added, “There was an event on campus at UCSB that resulted in a class that had many Jewish students being unable to meet due to the threat to their safety, and that is far more concerning to me.” email: kzehnder@newspress.com

The other side of the Miranda story

CALENDAR

Director talks to the News-Press about ‘Miranda’s Victim,’ which will open the Santa Barbara International Film Festival

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

‘Y

ou have the right to remain silent.”

That’s the beginning of Miranda Rights, which have been read to suspects being interrogated by law enforcement since the landmark 1966 U.S. Supreme Court case, Miranda v. Arizona.

But what about Ernesto Miranda’s victim?

Writers George Kolber and J. Craig Stiles explored that question as they wrote the story for “Miranda’s Victim,” a movie that will make its world premiere on the opening night of the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.

The film will screen at 8 p.m. Feb. 8 at the Arlington Theatre, 1317 State St. Oscar nominee Abigail Breslin (“Little Miss Sunshine,” “Stillwater”) stars as Patricia “Trish” Weir, who was kidnapped

and raped by Mr. Miranda in 1963 in Arizona.

The trials in the case went all the way to the Supreme Court and resulted in creation of the Miranda Rights. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Mr. Miranda should have been informed of his rights to remain silent and to have an attorney present before he signed a confession.

The case was retried, with Mr. Miranda’s confession excluded, and he was convicted in 1967 and sentenced to 20 to 30 years. He was paroled in 1972, then was stabbed to death in 1976 during a bar fight in Phoenix.

In addition to Ms. Breslin, the movie stars Sebastian Quinn as Ernesto Miranda, Luke Wilson as county prosecutor Lawrence Turoff; Andy Garcia as public defender Alvin Moore, who represented Mr. Miranda; and Ryan Phillippe as ACLU lawyer John Flynn, who argued the case for Mr. Miranda before the U.S. Supreme Court.

The cast also includes Emily VanCamp as Ann Weir (Patricia Weir’s sister), Mireille Enos as Zeola Weir, Kyle MacLachlan as Chief Justice Earl Warren and Donald Sutherland as Judge Laurance T. Wren, who presided over the trial of Mr. Miranda for the rape of Ms. Weir.

Director Michelle Danner, who’s among the movie’s producers, said Mr. Kolber felt inspired to write the movie after he became curious about Mr. Miranda’s victim.

Ms. Danner praised Ms. Weir for her bravery. It was 1963, a time when it was especially difficult for rape victims to find justice.

“So many people had been raped before her and didn’t say anything,” Ms. Danner told the News-Press by phone from her home in Los

Angeles. “She was the one who had the courage to go after him and get justice, which is very much what this movie is about.

“I met with her,” Ms. Danner said. “She was very happy with this movie.”

The director said Ms. Weir has a cameo in “Miranda’s Victim” as one of the guests in a wedding scene.

Ms. Danner, founder of the Creative Center for the Arts and the Los Angeles Acting Conservatory, praised Ms. Breslin for her portrayal of Ms. Weir.

“Abigail has an authenticity that’s engrained in her,” Ms. Danner said. “She is wonderful. There was a moment (between takes) when Donald Sutherland, playing the judge, turned to her. She’s in the Please see MIRANDA on B2

wo men share the same last name — and the same disease — in “The Realistic Joneses.”

Emmy-winning actor Joe Spano (“Hill Street Blues,” “NCIS”) and internationally acclaimed theatrical actor Conor Lovett play Bob Jones and John Jones respectively in the Rubicon Theatre Company production, which continues through Feb. 12 at the theater, 1006 E. Main St., Ventura.

Faline England, whose credits vary from the Santa Barbara Dance Theatre to Shakespeare Center L.A. and CBS shows such as “Numb3rs” and “Criminal Minds,” plays Pony, John’s wife.

Award-winning theatrical actress Sorcha Fox portrays Jennifer, Bob’s wife.

Rubicon is presenting “The Realistic Joneses” in association

with the Gare St. Lazare Ireland theater company and the Laguna Playhouse.

The play, which was written

by Will Eno, is directed by Judy Hegarty-Lovett, who rehearsed it with the actors in Maricourt, France, before the four actors performed it last year in Dublin.

Mr. Spano said that after the play wraps up its run in Ventura, the same actors will perform it again, in April and May at the Laguna Playhouse in Laguna Beach.

“The Realistic Joneses,” which is about neighbors with the same last name, is making its Southern California premiere in Ventura.

“The play is a tragic comedy about two married couples who meet in somewhat odd but extremely domestic circumstances,” Mr. Spano told the News-Press by phone from his home in Calabasas.

“She understands how to work in front of the camera. She can lose herself in a character,” Ms. Danner said. “She really inhabited the skin of Patricia Weir. Every single moment, I was blown away by her work.”

NEWS

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS Ms. Danner said she was also impressed by the connection Ms. VanCamp and Ms. Breslin had together as they played sisters.

She added that Mr. Sutherland has always been one of her favorite actors.

“Luke Wilson plays the prosecuting attorney, and very well, I might add,” Ms. Danner said.

“He has not seen the movie yet, but is coming up to Santa Barbara.

He had a few ad-libbed moments.

He said, ‘Are you serious?’ (to the

lawyer representing Mr. Miranda). I just love that moment. I kept it in.”

Ms. Danner said Mr. Quinn, who plays Mr. Miranda, resembles him and does a “fantastic job” in the role.

“Sebastian did a lot of research, and we rehearsed quite a bit,” Ms. Danner said.

“Andy Garcia plays the first lawyer that Ernesto Miranda has, the first lawyer who started to defend the rights of people arrested without being read their rights,”

Ms. Danner said. “I’ve always loved Andy Gracia.

“Every single actor came with not just their A game but their A-plus-plus game,” Ms. Danner said.

“Everyone felt this was an important story that needed to be told.”

“I hope this is a story where they (the audience) sees someone who makes a choice to be brave and thereby inspires other people to keep being brave.” email: dmason@newspress.com

JONESES

Continued from Page B1 couples — trying to connect,” he said.

The couples learn they have more in common than their last names and identical homes.

Mr. Spano said his character, Bob, and Mr. Lovett’s character, John, are dealing with their disease in different ways.

“Yeah, there is a roller coaster of emotions, but we don’t play it as emotive,” Mr. Spano said. “I think the emotions play in the lives and the hearts of the audience as they see these people hack their way into a connection or try to. It’s made me realize how complex it is to have a relationship with another person.”

In a separate phone interview from her home in Los Angeles, Ms. England, who plays Pony, talked

to the News-Press about what she loves about “Realistic Joneses.”

“I love how generous the playwright is,” she said. “I love that he has us exploring questions about vulnerability, about not being able to connect with another human being.”

She said the play examines the need for connection.

“It’s an exploration into how to live a good life,” Ms. England said.

“I think that’s what every good play touches on, how to be a better person and how to live a good life.”

“I had never read a Will Eno play, let alone been in one,” said Ms. England, who earned her bachelor’s of fine arts in theater at UCSB. But she said she was impressed with the script and the acting challenge that it posed when the director sent copies to her and Mr. Spano, who discussed his character with the NewsPress.

“Bob is a workman, a purchaser for a city transportation unit,” Mr. Spano sailed. “He has this disease, which he does not like to talk about.”

He said Bob doesn’t want to go to the doctor.

“What else about Bob? I’ve been told he’s a little bit cranky,” Mr. Spano said. “I don’t intend him to be cranky, but evidently he is. He’s confused a lot of the time.”

Mr. Spano said Bob isn’t unfeeling but has trouble expressing his feelings.

He described Jennifer, Bob’s wife, as “a wonderfully patient person who aggravates him a lot, but not because she’s aggravating.”

Mr. Spano said the audience will see Bob evolve as the play progresses.

Last fall, Mr. Spano reprised his recurring character of former FBI special agent Tobias Fornell on CBS’ “NCIS,” but said he doesn’t

know when he will be asked to play the character again. He said there are less opportunities for Tobias to be in the stories because Mark Harmon, who formerly starred as the longtime NCIS special agentin-charge, Gibbs (Tobias’ friend), no longer acts on the show.

But Mr. Spano did have a previous connection with Gary Cole, who stars as Alden Parker, the new agent in charge on “NCIS.” “He’s a great guy.”

“I did one of his shows, ‘Midnight Caller,’ filmed up in San Francisco,” Mr. Spano said, referring to the 1988-91 dramatic series on NBC. “As a result of the character I played on death row, I got an Emmy.”

Today, Mr. Spano said he has no movie or TV projects. “The pandemic slowed everything down for me.”

Mr. Spano, 76, added that there are fewer TV and movie roles

Show to honor Santa Barbara tattoo artist New Community Arts Collective, WANTS / NEEDS, located at 208A E. Main St. in Ventura, will be opening its second show on Feb. 11, as a benefit show in honor of Santa Barbara tattoo artist Allie Greenberg.

Ms. Greenberg was recently diagnosed with a degenerative nerve disease and stenosis in her cervical spine, which has caused a rapid decline in her health and impeded her work with the 805 Ink tattoo team. Ms. Greenberg’s long and arduous journey toward a clear diagnosis and cohesive treatment plan has been full of physical, mental and financial obstacles, forcing her to slow down and focus on her treatment.

Ben Pecorari, business owner of WANTS / NEEDS, collaborated with local tattoo artist, Kelsey Flegal — who currently works for 805 Ink — in order to organize a benefit show at the new gallery, in honor of Ms. Greenberg.

“It is our hope that through this show, we can help ease some of Allie’s burdens, so she can focus on doing what she loves most, creating beautiful art,” said Mr. Pecorari.

LOW HEART Cy makes the slam if he adopts an either-or play. He can win the first club in his hand and lead a low heart.

When West takes the king, Cy has his 12 tricks: two hearts, a spade, four clubs and five diamonds.

If East had the king of hearts, Cy would still succeed if East had the king of spades.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: { 8 4 x Q 8 4 z K 9 4 3 y K Q J 2. Your partner opens one heart. The next player passes.

What do you say?

ANSWER: In “Standard” methods, respond two clubs. If partner rebids two hearts, raise to three, inviting game and suggesting club strength. In the “game-forcingtwo-over-one” style, a two-club response would force to game; hence bid 1NT, forcing. One flaw in 2/1 is the inability to temporize with a good side suit in an invitational hand.

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.

DAILY BRIDGE Cy the Cynic had to have a complicated dental procedure.

“They wanted to put me to sleep,” Cy told me, “and they offered me a choice: They could give me gas, or they could hit me over the head with a boat paddle and knock me out.”

“And you had no other options?”

“It was an ether-oar situation,” said the Cynic.

When Cy was declarer at today’s 6NT in a penny game, he had a choice of plays. West led a passive ten of clubs, and Cy won with the king in dummy and, as is his habit, he relied on the first line of play he spotted: He led a spade for a finesse with his queen. When West produced the king, Cy had only 11 tricks and virtually no chance for another.

celebrate by going out on the town with a group of friends.

LIBRA — A subject that fascinates you could occupy much of your time today, Libra.

Questions may arise about this subject that you want answered now. Therefore, you could get into some in-depth research. This might have you trapped in the library or glued to the Internet until you either find what you want or pick up a few leads to places where you might find it.

SCORPIO — Emotions, impressions, and memories could come up from your subconscious today, Scorpio. This may preoccupy you and keep you from other matters. This is a positive development. Pleasant memories bring joy. Disturbing ones offer a release from past trauma.

Write down your thoughts and then distract yourself by doing something you love.

SAGITTARIUS — Social events or group activities could prove more stimulating than usual, Sagittarius. Discussions of every subject imaginable could take place around you, and you might have trouble deciding which ones you want to join. Your mind may be going the speed of light by the time the gathering ends.

CAPRICORN — Your writing, speaking, and communicating skills are enhanced today, Capricorn. Therefore, you can expect to impress a lot of people around you who will change their opinion about you. People will express their sympathy openly, and you will feel integrated and accepted throughout the day.

Tonight, find a bookstore that’s sponsoring a lecture and go.

AQUARIUS — It should be easier than usual to concentrate on the practical aspects of finances, Aquarius. A keener mind combines with enhanced intuition to give you a special edge when it comes to making decisions on everything that concern money, so make the most of it while you can. Connect with the people you love tonight.

PISCES — Have you been thinking about attending a seminar of some kind, Pisces, perhaps business related? You and a partner might go together.

This is a good time to do this, as your thinking is particularly clear and retentive and you find it easier than usual to concentrate.

Discussions with your partner afterward could be the icing on the cake.

-

ARIES — A message could come today from a business or romantic partner that brings some welcome news, Aries. Action on an enterprise of some kind, perhaps involving writing or speaking, could put one or both of you in the limelight. Make the most of the opportunity. It could lead to future advancement and exposure, perhaps even more promising than this.

TAURUS — Today you can expect to have a highly interesting conversation with someone, Taurus. The person you will be talking to is going to provide you with a ton of information that will open a whole new world of knowledge. Excitement and happiness will be with you all day.

This conversation will have an impact on your future.

GEMINI — Your physical and mental energy are exceptionally strong right now, Gemini. If you’re creative, you will want to put that energy into a project that means a lot to you. If you’re athletic, you will probably want to get outside and play a game or go for a jog or cardio class. Bear in mind that much of this energy is nervous energy that burns out quickly. Pace yourself.

CANCER — A delivery could come to your house that you find very emotionally moving, Cancer.

Perhaps you’ve received a gift that represents a big sacrifice to the giver, and was all the more sincere for that. This could be on your mind for most of the day even though you have a lot to do. When thanking the giver, be warm and sincere but not too effusive.

LEO — A friend might drop by and want you to keep them company while they runs errands, Leo. This might be a good idea, not only for the diversion from routine but also because something might happen in the course of these short journeys that points you in a new and very positive direction. Your mind could suddenly be flooded with ideas.

VIRGO — Paperwork regarding money might take up a lot of your time today, Virgo. This can be tedious, but it’s something that can make a very positive difference to you, and therefore needs to be handled as soon as possible. Try to stay focused, and don’t forget to ask for clarification when you need it. In the evening,

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION Premium Energy Holdings, LLC

Project No. 15271-000

NOTICE OF PRELIMINARY PERMIT APPLICATION ACCEPTED FOR FILING AND SOLICITING COMMENTS, MOTIONS TO INTERVENE, AND COMPETING APPLICATIONS (January 19, 2023) On March 31, 2022, Premium Energy Holdings, LLC filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the Twitchell Pumped Storage Hydro Project to be located approximately 6 miles northeast of Santa Maria, California in the limits between San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the permit holder priority to file a license application during the permit term. A preliminary permit does not authorize the permit holder to perform any land-disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the owners’ express permission.

The proposed project would consist of the following: (1) a new upper reservoir located either, on the western side of the Sierra Madre Mountains in Santa Barbara County, California, with a maximum elevation of 1,788 feet average mean sea level, with a surface area of 72 acres and a storage capacity of 7,150 acre-feet (alternative 1), or a new reservoir 0.5 mile west of Twitchell Lake with a maximum elevation of 1,296 feet average mean sea level, with a surface area of 83 acres and a storage capacity of 11,400 acre-feet (alternative 2); (2) an existing lower reservoir (Twitchell Reservoir), with an elevation of 592 feet average mean sea level, a surface area of approximately 400 acres and a storage capacity of 197,756 acre-feet; (3) either a 0.32-mile-long headrace tunnel, 0.07-mile-long vertical shaft, 2.20-mile-long horizontal tunnel, 0.03-mile-long penstock, and 0.46-milelong tailrace tunnel (alternative A), or a 0.16-mile-long headrace tunnel, 0.04-mile-long vertical shaft, 1.10-mile-long horizontal tunnel, 0.02-mile-long penstock, and 0.23-mile long tailrace tunnel (alternative B) connecting the reservoirs to the powerhouse, with a maximum head of 704 or 1,196 feet depending on the selected upper reservoir; (4) either a new 9-mile-long 230-kilovolt (kV) line and 2.5 miles of SCE’s existing right of way that will interconnect the project with the existing PG&E transmission system at the Mesa Substation (alternative 1), or a 230-kV line that would be installed that would interconnect at a future substation that would be a part of the Central California Power Connect project (alternative 2); (5) a new powerhouse that would house 4 new pump-turbines rated at 150 megawatts each; (6) a new substation installed on the northern or southern side of the Twitchell Reservoir depending on the upper reservoir alternatives, close to the powerhouse; and (7) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual power generation at the Twitchell Pumped Storage Project would be 1,200,000 megawatt-hours.

NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND PENDING ACTION BY THE DIRECTOR OF THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT TO: (1) WAIVE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON A COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT THAT MAY BE APPEALED TO THE CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION AND (2) APPROVE, CONDITIONALLY APPROVE, OR DENY THE COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT

This may affect your property. Please read.

Notice is hereby given that an application for the project described below has been submitted to the Santa Barbara County Planning and Development Department. This project requires the approval and issuance of a Coastal Development Permit by the Planning and Development Department.

The development requested by this application is subject to appeal to the California Coastal Commission following final action by Santa Barbara County and therefore a public hearing on the application is normally required prior to any action to approve, conditionally approve or deny the application. However, in compliance with California Coastal Act Section 30624.9, the Director has determined that this project qualifies as minor development and therefore intends to waive the public hearing requirement unless a written request for such hearing is submitted by an interested party to the Planning and Development Department within the 15 working days following the Date of Notice listed below. All requests for a hearing must be submitted no later than 5:00 p.m. on the Request for Hearing Expiration Date listed below, to Veronica King at Planning and Development, 123 E. Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara 93101-2058, by email at kingv@countyofsb.org, or by fax at (805) 568-2030. If a public hearing is requested, notice of such a hearing will be provided.

WARNING: Failure by a person to request a public hearing may result in the loss of the person’s ability to appeal any action taken by Santa Barbara County on this Coastal Development Permit to the Montecito Planning Commission or Board of Supervisors and ultimately the California Coastal Commission.

If a request for public hearing is not received by 5:00 p.m. on the Request for Hearing Expiration Date listed below, then the Planning and Development Department will act to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the request for a Coastal Development Permit. At this time it is not known when this action may occur; however, this may be the only notice you receive for this project. To receive additional information regarding this project, including the date the Coastal Development Permit is approved, and/or to view the application and plans, or to provide comments on the project, please contact Veronica King at Planning and Development, 123 E. Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara 931012058, or by email at kingv@countyofsb.org, or by phone at (805) 568-2513.

APPEALS: The decision of the Director of the Planning and Development Department to approve, conditionally approve, or deny this Coastal Development Permit 22CDH-OOOOO-00004 may be appealed to the Montecito Planning Commission by the applicant or an aggrieved person. The written appeal must be filed within the 10 calendar days following the date that the Director takes action on this Coastal Development Permit. To qualify as an “aggrieved person” the appellant must have, in person or through a representative, informed the Planning and Development Department by appropriate means prior to the decision on the Coastal Development Permit of the nature of their concerns, or, for good cause, was unable to do so.

Written appeals must be filed with the Planning and Development Department at either 123 East Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara, 93101, or 624 West Foster Road, Suite C, Santa Maria, 93455, by 5:00 p.m. within the timeframe identified above. In the event that the last day for filing an appeal falls on a non-business day of the County, the appeal may be timely filed on the next business day.

This Coastal Development Permit may be appealed to the California Coastal Commission after an appellant has exhausted all local appeals, therefore a fee is not required to file an appeal.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 101950-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 101950-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.
