Clinics, hospitals administer bivalent COVID-19 booster

By KATHERIN ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The bivalent COVID-19 booster is being administered in Santa Barbara County before winter strikes.

Shots are provided by pharmacies and primary care clinics, as well as Cottage Health facilities, Marian Regional Medical Center in Santa Maria, Lompoc Valley Medical Center and the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department.

“The potential benefit is enormous as we approach the winter season, and we have no reason to think we’ll be immune this winter,” said Dr. David Fisk, Cottage Health’s director of infection prevention and control.

ICE removing violent criminal foreign nationals from California who’ve served prison time

By BETHANY BLANKLEY THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) – While most foreign nationals entering the U.S. illegally through the southern border aren’t being deported or removed, some violent criminals and sex offenders are being removed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers after they’ve served prison time in California.

While Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas altered deportation and removal proceedings, some began as long as two years ago continue. ICE ERO San Francisco officers have arrested some of the most dangerous offenders who

entered the U.S. illegally and committed violent crimes in California.

“ERO officers in the San Francisco area of operations are committed to enforcing our nation’s immigration laws against violent criminals, sex offenders and other noncitizens who pose a threat to public safety,” ERO San Francisco Field Office Director Moises Becerra said when announcing some of the most egregious offenders of fiscal 2022.

Those eligible for removal are citizens of Albania, the Congo, El Salvador and Mexico who entered the U.S. illegally, committed crimes, were convicted of them, and went to prison in California.

One includes a 47-year-old Albanian who was arrested by ERO agents in Jamestown, California. The Albanian had

already served 23 years in prison after being convicted of second-degree robbery with a gun enhancement, great bodily injury, or death in Los Angeles County.

The noncitizen was ordered removed to Albania.

Another is a 39-year-old Congolese national who was convicted in San Diego County of forcible rape, forcible oral copulation, and rape by foreign object.

ERO agents arrested the Congolese national who had served nine years at a California State Prison in Sacramento, California.

ERO agents arrested a 47-yearold El Salvadoran serving time at the Correctional Training Facility in Soledad after having been convicted in Los Angeles County of conspiracy to commit robbery, attempted kidnapping

for robbery, robbery, and assault with a firearm. The El Salvadoran was sentenced to life imprisonment with the possibility of parole.

Mexican nationals illegally in the U.S. were arrested by ERO agents including those who were serving time for robbery, attempted murder, multiple counts of lewd acts upon a child under 10, and reentering the U.S. multiple times illegally.

One 28-year-old Mexican was convicted in Orange County of first-degree robbery and carjacking and arrested by ERO after serving nearly four years of an eight-year sentence in the High Desert State Prison in Susanville.

Another was a 46-year-old Mexican who was convicted in San Diego County of attempted murder, corporal injury to

spouse, making criminal threats, and attempt to dissuade a witness arrested

by ERO. This was after the individual served 16 years in the California City Correctional Facility and developed an extensive criminal history spanning nearly 30 years. The Mexican national had been previously removed from the U.S. in 1998 and 1999.

ERO agents also arrested a 37-year-old Mexican who re-entered the U.S. illegally on multiple occasions. The individual had been convicted in Tulare County of eight counts of lewd acts upon a child under 10.

All of the individuals are eligible for removal, according to an announcement

by ICE. Once noncitizens have a final order of removal, ERO coordinates their removal back to their country of origin.

Out-of-state parents say California bill ignores their rights when kids want sex reassignment sanctuary state for transgender youth in response to other states banning things like transgender surgeries for minors. SB 107 blocks the release of this medical data or extradition from California.

Parents say this part, in particular, violated the Constitution, arguing that it “unlawfully overrides the jurisdiction of courts in a family’s home state that are usually the proper forum for custody determinations, and also conflicts with various federal laws governing which state courts have jurisdiction to determine child custody.”

“Deference to the laws and jurisdictions of the 49 other states is required under the ‘full faith and credit’ clause of the U.S. Constitution,” the letter said.

“California cannot ignore the authority and jurisdiction of other states.”

Supporters argue the bill is meant to encourage and protect trans youth.

“California must stand with LGBTQ kids and their families, especially when they’re under attack across the country,” said

State Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, in a statement. “SB 107 ensures that California is a refuge state for trans kids and their parents, so they can be safe here.”

But parents say it is a violation of their rights and a top-down ideological agenda being forced on them.

“SB 107 makes California akin to the Pied Piper, enticing minor children nationwide to leave their families and run away in pursuit of harmful drugs and sterilizing surgeries, all of which cause irreversible harm to the minds, bodies, and family relationships of America’s precious children,” the letter said. “According to the American College of Pediatricians, 80 to 95 percent of children who experience gender confusion will ultimately embrace their biological sex if they are not encouraged to pursue gender identity treatments. Children experiencing gender confusion need the love, support, and guidance of their parents.

“They do not need to be taken from their parents and rushed down a pathway which leads to a lifetime of medicalization and sterilization,” the letter added.

Federal judge grants Marines class action status in challenge to COVID vaccine requirement

By BETHANY BLANKLEY THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) – A federal judge has granted class action status for U.S. Marines in their fight against Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

The ruling is another blow to the Biden administration and consistent with other court rulings that have found military branches are violating federal law.

Judge Steven Merryday of the U.S. District Court Middle District of Florida Tampa Division granted a classwide preliminary injunction for Marines serving in active and reserve duty who were denied religious accommodation requests from taking the COVID-19 vaccine.

Judge Merryday preliminarily enjoined the Department of Defense from “enforcing against a member of the class any order, requirement, or rule to accept COVID-19 vaccination, … from separating or discharging from the Marine Corps a member of the class who declines COVID-19 vaccination, and … from retaliating against a member of the class for the member’s asserting statutory rights under RFRA [Religious Freedom Restoration Act].”

He defined the class as “all persons on active duty or in the ready reserve (1) who serve under the command of the Marine Corps, (2) who were affirmed by a chaplain as harboring a sincere religious objection, (3) who timely submitted an initial request for a religious accommodation, (4) who were denied the initial request, (5) who timely appealed the denial of the initial request, and (6) who were denied or will be denied after appeal.”

According to federal data, 3,733 Marines requested religious accommodations and only 11, 0.295%, were granted among those who were already retiring.

In response, Judge Merryday asked, “Is it

more likely than not – in nearly all 3,733 cases – that no reasonable accommodation was available?”

He said, “the record reveals the substantial likelihood of a systemic failure by the Marine Corps to discharge the obligations established by RFRA.” Granting the class wide preliminary injunction was warranted “to preserve the status quo, to permit the full development of the record without prejudice to the plaintiffs, and to permit both a trial and a detailed, fact-based resolution of the controlling issues of fact and law.”

He, like the DOD-OIG, argues those in the military must comply with RFRA. “RFRA includes everyone from the President to a park ranger,” Judge Merryday said; “from the Chief Justice of the United States to a probation officer, from the Speaker of the House to a member’s district office staffer, from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to a military recruiter — even if they don’t like it and even if they don’t agree with it.

The Free Exercise Clause and RFRA are the law of the land.”

The Marine Corps granted religious accommodations “only to the rare applicant both eligible to, and electing to, retire,” Judge Merryday said. “In the instance of all other applicants, the Marine Corps in denying each appeal relies on an almost identical letter, a template, a form rejection. In denying the appeals, the letter invariably finds – even if the chaplain affirms the sincerity of the religious objection to the COVID-19 vaccine – that the COVID-19 vaccination requirement imposes no ‘substantial burden’ on the applicant’s Free Exercise.”

The Marine Corps and other branches have argued federal courts don’t have jurisdiction over military matters and their command discretion isn’t curtailed by the RFRA. They’ve asserted, “The Supreme Court has made clear: ‘Judges are not given the task of running the

Army,’” citing a 1953 case, Orloff v. Willoughby, for example.

But federal judges in multiple states have disagreed, including Judge Merryday, arguing the 1953 case was 40 years before Congress enacted RFRA. Judge Merryday said district courts were “selected by Congress and enacted in RFRA to resolve a dispute under RFRA (in other words, Congress and the President, not the district court, chose the district court as the proper forum for service members to assert the RFRA claim asserted in this action.)”

“Although certainly not ‘given the task of running the Army,’ the courts in the narrow instance of RFRA are assigned to, and entrusted to, ensure that those who run the Marine Corps (and the military in general and every other component of the federal government) conform their actions to the governing law, to RFRA, to which the admirals and the generals and the commandants are unquestionably subordinate – just like the President, the Speaker of the House, the Chief Justice, and every other person in the federal government,” he said.

Judge Merryday also addressed the fact that plaintiffs were given only two days’ notice to be discharged, ordered to move, and fined $100 daily rent if they stayed in military housing.

He said this “suggests retribution and retaliation, the existence of which detracts from the Marine Corps’s claim elsewhere in this action to good faith treatment of a religious objector.”

The mandate forced religious objectors to choose “between betraying a sincere religious conviction and suffering court martial or separation from the military and, likely, visiting adverse consequences on the Marine’s family (such as the abrupt eviction from military housing and disenrollment from military schools),” he added.

Legal critics say the California law would violate parents’ Constitutional rights.

“Parents have the fundamental right to direct the upbringing and care of their children, which includes making the best decisions regarding their child’s mental, emotional, and physical health,” said Emilie Kao, Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel. “In an astonishing disregard for federal law and the

constitutional rights of parents, California wants to take away custody of children from their own parents—no matter what state they’re from—and deny families the right to access their child’s medical information. Thankfully, a growing coalition of parents, leaders, and organizations is standing up for the protection of our children, the fundamental rights of parents, and the jurisdiction of the states.”

CALIFORNIA

(The Center Square) – Parents nationwide have rallied together to challenge a newly passed California bill that would allow a judge to revoke parental rights over a child who came from a different state seeking transgender surgery, puberty blockers and more.

Parental rights groups say they “have several grave concerns” with SB 107, which would allow California to take “temporary emergency jurisdiction” of a child that came to California for transgender operations or drugs, effectively stripping parents of their authority over their children.

The groups sent a letter to California Gov. Gavin Newsom calling on him to veto the bill.

“SB 107 blatantly violates the fundamental right of every parent in every state to direct the upbringing and care of their child,” the letter said. “This legislation allows the ‘taking of a child’ to California (without parental knowledge or consent) to obtain gender transition

procedures – including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and irreversible surgeries - and impermissibly gives California courts the power to strip custody from lawful and wellintentioned parents (regardless of where they live) who may have legitimate concerns for their child’s mental and physical health.”

Parents also say the law “violates parental rights by denying parents access to their child’s medical information related to gender identity medications and procedures in California.”

“Multiple sections (1, 2, 3, and 10) of this legislation mandate the concealment of critical medical information from parents about their child, even if that information is sought under a subpoena,” the letter said. “This undermines the constitutional rights of parents, and also likely violates the laws of many other states which recognize a parent’s right to access their child’s medical information.”

The bill in question, which passed along party lines, is intended to make California a

ELECTION 2022

Aceves stresses fiscal responsibility Goleta City Council member seeks re-election, opposes sales tax increase Editor’s note: This is part of a series on local candidates in advance of the Nov. 8 election.

By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Fiscal responsibility has been a top priority for Roger Aceves, who is running for his fifth term on the Goleta City Council.

Mr. Aceves, who opposes the Nov. 8 ballot measure to increase the sales tax by 1%, has served on the council since first being elected in November 2006.

“I have been the one council member who has always acted fiscally responsible,” Councilman Aceves told the News-Press. “I am also the only council member opposed to the 1% sales tax.

Everything is going up, and we want to add 1% on top of that.

I don’t think that is fiscally responsible. I also wrote the ballot measure against the 1% sales tax.”

Councilman Aceves cited his focus on fiscal responsibility as being one of his accomplishments during his 16 years on the council.

“Not only have we adopted balanced budgets, I have advocated for specific needs in our community and moving them forward,” he told the News-Press.

“We accumulated the money for the Cathedral Oaks repavement, which was a multimillion dollar project,” Mr. Aceves said. “Another accomplishment is the pension trust fund, which provides for future pension and medical increases. Previously the increase would come out of the general fund. Being that the city is only 20 years old, this is the perfect time to prepare for future increases.”

Councilman Aceves discussed another accomplishment that has made him proud. “I was in law enforcement for 32 years.

So I have always focused on maintaining strong public safety.

As a result of the prioritization of these efforts, we are constantly recognized as one of the safest cities in the county.”

Councilman Aceves also recommended the creation of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Program, overseen by the diversity, equity and inclusion officer employed by the city. Mr.

Aceves serves on the council’s diversity, equity and inclusion committee alongside Councilman James Kyriaco.

“I have been the only Latino elected to the city council in

20 years,” Councilman Aceves said. “That is why diversity is so important. I am very proud I am the only Latino ever elected. I am also bilingual.

Westmont Men’s Soccer (5-0-1) completed their pre-GSAC schedule on Wednesday with their fifth consecutive win, this time over the visiting Bethesda Flames (0-6-2).

During the first four games of the win streak, the Warriors had out-scored opponents 14-1.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Warriors continued to increase their goal differential with a 6-0 win over the Flames.

“I don’t think we won even two in a row at any point last year,” said Westmont head coach Dave Wolf. “Our team has to be given credit for what they’ve done up to this point. We won five games all of last year, and today we won our fifth.

“This is a group that has made a lot of progress, and not just physically, but also psychologically. They are tougher mentally, more resilient, and in a really good place heading into conference play.”

In the fourth minute the Warriors began the barrage when Braeden Pryor rolled a pass to Martin Anguiano. Anguiano, who was wide open in the box, followed the pass towards the goal line and without a defender around him, poked a shot past keeper Felipe Lima for his third goal of the season.

Twelve minutes later, it was Donovan Howat’s turn to get in the box score. This time, the assist came from Michael Palmer who was patiently weighing his options on the far side of the pitch. Instead of sending the ball into the crowd of Warriors on the center of the six, Palmer switched the field to Howat, who was wide open on the nearside of the 18.

With room to carry, Howat took a touch to his right before burying home the first goal of his collegiate career.

“Donny (Howat) is a guy who’s been

fighting to get back on track,” said Wolf.

“He’s been fighting hard and today, he had a couple classic Donovan Howat moments. It wasn’t perfect, but it was very characteristic of him.

“Sometimes, scoring a goal just helps make you feel better.”

In the 30th minute the Warriors extended their lead to 3-0 off of a fast-moving free kick.

While the Flames retreated expecting the Warriors to prepare a set piece, Howat quickly played the ball on the near sideline to Miguel Alvarado.

Alvarado and the Warriors then caught the Flames on their heels. Pryor, who was darting towards the box on the far side of the pitch, received a lofting pass from Alvarado in full stride. Then, the Warriors’ most productive scorer finished his fourth goal of the campaign.

In the 43rd minute, the feel-good story of the day began to reveal itself. Senior Owen Bates, who missed all of last season due a knee injury, stepped onto Thorrington Field in a live game for the first time in 517 days. Immediately, he displayed why the Warriors missed him so much.

Freshman John Ruetschle carried the ball on the edge of the Flames’ six-yard box, drawing several defenders away from the center of the pitch. Just before dribbling out of bounds, the freshman darted a pass towards the middle.

Waiting for it was Bates, who ricocheted home his first goal since March of 2021.

“First and foremost, it was great to see Owen on the field,” said Wolf. “At some points, we would’ve considered any appearances on the field a victory. To see him get on the board feels like a big bonus.

If we get him going, in addition to the arsenal we already have, you can get excited very quickly about our group.”

Nineteen minutes into the second half, Bates continued to own the day. This time, Bates was

on the receiving end of a cross from Pryor, and this time, Bates used his head to drill the ball to the back of the net. The finish was the club’s fifth goal, and Bates’ second in less than 25 minutes.

“It was an emotional day,” said Bates. “It was a long road and it wasn’t always easy. I was happy to be out there and I was happy to score a couple goals. I wanted three, but getting two was awesome.

“It’s just great to be a part of this group.

We’re looking good, feeling good, and trying to have a special season.”

Pryor, who quietly picked up a pair of assists during the match, put the finishing touches on the win in the 70th minute. The final Westmont goal of the day began with Erik Guerrero feeding Pryor on a 30-yard run to the top of the box.

As Westmont fans have quickly gotten used to, Pryor out-ran the pair of defenders at his side, and calmly deposited his teamleading fifth goal of the season to make it 6-0.

Twenty minutes later, the Warriors officially had their first five-match winning streak since 2019.

Next Thursday, the Warriors begin Golden State Athletic Conference play with their bi-annual trip to Arizona. On Thursday, the Warriors open up with #19 Ottawa (Ariz.) (52-1) at 8:00 p.m., before taking on Arizona Christian (3-1-3) under the sun at 12:15 p.m. on Saturday.

“We’re starting off with a bang,” stated Wolf.

“OUAZ made the deepest run of any GSAC team last season, and was a team that handled us fairly well at our place last year. We won’t have to wait long to know where we stand in the pecking order.”

Case No. 22PR00455 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of MELVIN E. PEARL A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Lynn B. Pearl and Steven B. Pearl in the Superior Court of California, County of SANTA BARBARA. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Lynn B. Pearl and Steven B. Pearl be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on Nov. 3, 2022 at 9:00 AM in Dept. No. 5 located at 1100 Anacapa St., Santa Barbara, CA 93101.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

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.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

SBCC men’s Athena Bow Graham nets her first goal for SBCC women’s soccer soccer finish in tie

By MICHAEL JORGENSON SBCC SPORTS WRITER

The SBCC women’s soccer team earned another draw on Tuesday at Santa Monica, in a 1-1 game where all the scoring was done before the 20-minute mark.

After conceding a goal in the 11th minute, the Vaqueros (1-1-4) didn’t take long to equalize. SBCC’s forwards linked up in the 20th minute, as freshman Athena Bow Graham took a pass from Theresa English and scored

her first goal as a Vaquero to make it a 1-1 game.

While that would be Santa Barbara’s only goal of the day, the Vaquero defense was able to shut out the Corsairs (3-2) over the final 79 minutes, thanks in large part to the play of sophomore goalkeeper Analea Pule. It was the second straight game in which Pule tallied a season-best nine saves, one off her careerhigh. She now has 32 saves through seven games, tied for second in the WSC-North.

The Vaqueros meanwhile put five shots

on target – including two each from Hannah McLain and Aisha Camara – resulting in four saves by goalkeeper Johana Ventureno.

SBCC will play a third straight road game on Friday, Sept. 23 at Canyons at 4:30 p.m. before starting a two-game home stand next week.

organization has ordered the bivalent vaccine for the Santa Maria Women’s Health Center, targeting the at-risk pregnant population.

“Through our clinic locations, the request for boosters has diminished over the last six months,” said Dr. Robertson, who’s also CEO of Pacific Central Coast Health Centers. “The community has had success with getting access to boosters with bivalent vaccines through commercial and retail pharmacies. Doctors will consult with patients, and ultimately patients will decide if they want the bivalent booster vaccine.

“On Sept. 16, the journal of the AMA (American Medical Association) published an article looking at safety and antibody levels primarily in adults. The bivalent vaccine raised antibody levels higher than the single variant, and there were no safety differences from the single variant vaccine,” Dr. Robertson told the News-Press. “Anyone receiving a booster should receive a bivalent booster.”

Dr. Fisk said Cottage Health facilities are “in the process of transitioning to making the

up to take it, firing a hard-hit shot towards the far post that bounced right past Melendez and in to put the Vaqueros ahead.

Unfortunately for SBCC, for the third straight home game, the visiting team would find a second half equalizer.

Bakersfield worked it nicely in the attacking third, and a ball sent across the box trickled over to Colin Uzih, who placed a wellstruck shot into the top right corner of the far post to seal the 2-2 draw.

SBCC SPORTS WRITER

The SBCC men’s soccer team earned a third straight draw at home on Tuesday against Bakersfield, finishing with a 22 tie.

The Vaqueros (1-1-4) kept the pressure on the Bakersfield (3-2-4) defense throughout the match, forcing goalkeeper Victor Melendez to make seven saves on the night. However, it was the Renegades who struck first.

Bakersfield’s Marco Guerrero swung in a corner kick from the right side in the 39th minute, and Angel Sandoval timed his jump to power down a bouncing header inside the near post to open the scoring.

In one of their most beautiful sequences of build-up play so far this season, the Vaqueros equalized in the 60th minute. A series of quick passes in midfield ended up leading sophomore forward Will Demirkol on the right wing. His shot from about 18 yards out met the keeper’s gloves as he hit the floor, but it had enough pace and Melendez wasn’t able to keep the shot out of the net, giving Demirkol his first goal of the year.

About five minutes later, SBCC earned a free kick on the left side about 26 yards away from goal. Sophomore midfielder/ forward Lukas Lovgren stepped

NOTABLE The Vaqueros set a seasonhighs with 18 shots and nine shots on goal. Midfielder Timo Jansen had a team-high four shots.

Forward Bart Muns put two shots on target to lead the way.

It was just the second time that Muns, the team’s leading goalscorer (4), has not scored this season.

NEXT UP Santa Barbara hits the road for its next two outings, starting with a Friday, Sept. 23 trip to face Canyons at 7 p.m.

bivalent vaccine available to admitted in-patients as boosters only. The bivalent vaccine is only approved for booster, not first or second dose.”

Dr. Ansorg noted primary care clinics and pharmacies have started to administer the bivalent booster. “Going forward, only the bivalent booster will be authorized for anyone age 12 and older.”

Dr. Fisk told the News-Press that the bivalent booster is available for anyone who has received two or more doses of the MRNA vaccine and is at least two months out from the vaccine dose. He said people who have had recent COVID-19 infections should wait three months after the infection.

Doctors say it’s safe to get the new COVID booster and the flu shot at the same time.

“The booster from Moderna and Pfizer are interchangeable, meaning: If you had the initial Moderna vaccination series, you can either receive the Moderna or the Pfizer bivalent booster product (depending on availability),” said Dr. Ansorg.

Lompoc Valley Medical Center initially ordered 1,100 doses of the bivalent booster: 600 Pfizer doses and 500 Moderna doses.

“We have administered 228 doses and have 872 doses

The referendum is signed by Jerome Reedy, a board member of the California Independent Petroleum Association and treasurer of the California Natural Gas Producers Association, who is listed as a proponent. CIPA did not respond to multiple requests for comment from The Center Square regarding the referendum.

Supporters of the bill argued that it is key to protecting the health of millions of Californians. About five and a half million Californians live within a mile of one or more oil and gas wells, which the legislative

remaining in inventory,” Steve Popkin, the Lompoc hospital’s CEO, told the News-Press. “We hold vaccination clinics at the hospital every Friday, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. As the state’s MyTurn scheduling system is not able to book appointments for the bivalent booster, all boosters are done on a walk-in basis. All individuals are eligible to receive their first, primary vaccine series, which is available at the LVMC vaccination clinic.

“The bivalent booster is administered to LVMC inpatients, prior to discharge, upon request,” Mr. Popkin said. “At this time, the

bivalent booster is only available at our Friday vaccination clinics at the hospital (not at our Lompoc Health medical clinics).”

Dr. Fisk, meanwhile, discussed the wild card factor if a new variant takes over. “The wild card is how effective the vaccine will be against a new variant. This will be most effective if BA.5 remains a variant. Bivalent will be potentially less effective to a new variant.

“But if there were a new variant coming, I would still want myself boosted with a bivalent booster.” email: kzehnder@newspress.com

Proponents of the referendum still have a long way to go before the measure makes it to the 2024 ballot. authors say increases the risk of asthma, preterm births, high-risk pregnancies and cancer.

Proponents of the referendum still have a long way to go before the measure makes it to the 2024 ballot. The Attorney General’s Office told The Center Square that it anticipates having a circulating title and summary for the referendum by Sept. 29. Supporters use that to collect signatures.

Proponents will then have 90 days from the statute’s enactment to collect and submit over 623,000 signatures to potentially qualify the measure for the 2024 ballot, where it will

ultimately be left up to the voters to decide on the law. The bill was signed into law on Sept.

16, so they have until mid-December to submit signatures.

If the measure does qualify, it could potentially appear with another proposed referendum seeking to overturn Assembly Bill 257 – a measure signed by Gov. Newsom that would allow the creation of a state council to regulate wages and working conditions for the fast food industry. Proponents of the referendum of AB 257 have until early December to collect over 623,000 signatures to qualify the measure for the ballot.

“She was just so charming and so excited to be there. It made me happy that these two (actors) were singing to her. She was a lunch lady at a middle school,” Mrs. Hall said. “Those kinds of moments when the audience is really engaged are my favorites.”

The “Whose Line” cast and guest stars are often seen running unexpectedly into the audience and bringing the fans into the skits.

“Robin Williams ran into the audience and did his preacher character,” Mrs. Hall said. “He’s out in the audience, running around and laying his hands on people. It was a really funny moment.”

“We had Florence Henderson on,” Mrs. Hall said, referring to the star who played Carol Brady on “The Brady Bunch” and was a singer as well as an actress. “”She stood backstage and chatted it up with (guitarist) Linda (Taylor) and me. She was a fantastic person.

“We had Sid Caesar on,” Mrs. Hall said, referring to the iconic TV and movie comedy star known for the live 1950s variety show “Your Show of Shows.” “He was so lovely, such a gentleman, very charming. Drew just adored him.

He was a comedy legend.”

“I really admire when someone who’s a big star is kind and gracious to people,” Mrs. Hall said. “That’s what I admire about

“Drew is one of those guys who wants everyone to having a good time,” Mrs. Hall said. “He wants the atmosphere to be happy and good. He is as nice to the woman who serves coffee as he is to the president of the network. He is a nice guy who says, ‘How are you doing?’ I was so impressed by him.

“Even when Drew ripped the audience (with a joke), he was never mean,” Mrs. Hall said.

While Mr. Carey and Ms. Tyler have different personalities and styles, Ms. Tyler is friendly and gracious in the way Mr. Carey was, Mrs. Hall said. email: dmason@newspress.com

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet.

Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance.

All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid.

Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

LIBRA — A reassessment of your financial goals may be needed now, Libra. Some of your expectations may be unrealistic, and you might need to look at them in a more practical light.

This doesn’t mean they won’t happen, just that they’re apt to take a little longer than you’d like.

Think of it as an opportunity to develop patience. Rework your budget and hang in there!

SCORPIO — Are you romantically attracted to someone you know through work, Scorpio? If so, this isn’t a good time to pursue it. You might be wearing your heart on your sleeve a little too obviously. This could be unsettling for your friend, and it might sabotage the results you’re hoping for. Be patient and let the relationship develop. Your feelings could well be mutual!

SAGITTARIUS — Inspiration for writing, music, drawing, painting, or other creative activities could hover just out of reach today, Sagittarius. Great ideas could pop into your head and out just as quickly. The only way to avoid the frustration of missing out on wonderful ideas is to write them down as soon as they come.

CAPRICORN — Today you could run into an old friend and suddenly see him or her in a different light. A romantic, sensual attraction you never believed possible could suddenly seem overwhelming. Try to gauge if this person feels the same way.

If so, plan a date. Don’t write this possibility off because you’ve labeled this person a “friend.”

AQUARIUS — A current or potential love relationship could hit a snag as you have a clash of wills. If either of you is stubborn, this could turn into an unpleasant power struggle. Try to work out a course of action that creates a win/win situation, so neither of you feels compromised. In this way, the development of your relationship will progress rather than regress.

PISCES — An opportunity to increase your income by working in an artistic or innovative manner could come your way today, Pisces. Technologies like film or computer graphics may be involved. You may have doubts about your ability to take this on, but that’s only your insecurity.

Don’t be timid. Have a little confidence in yourself.

HOROSCOPE ARIES — Circumstances beyond your control may frustrate your desire to get together with a love partner today, Aries.

Work or family obligations could interfere. If your partner has to beg off, don’t get upset and start doling out blame. This won’t help and could put your friend on the defensive. Plan to meet another day. Absence makes the heart grow fonder!

TAURUS — Family who mean a lot to you can make your home an even warmer and cozier place, Taurus. You’ll probably spend a lot of time fixing it up in order to receive sincere compliments. The only downside might be that your current partner may not be there due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control.

GEMINI — A long but necessary phone call from a close friend or love partner could come at work today, Gemini.

Matters of immediate concern need resolution. You might be uneasy about taking company time, and could even attract some unsettling attention, but you need to have this conversation now.

CANCER — Today you might discover a previously untapped talent, Cancer, perhaps an artistic gift. This could be thrilling, but it will probably take some getting used to. Your first efforts might be tentative and uncertain, but this is what usually happens when you learn a new skill. Don’t get discouraged yet! Give yourself time.

LEO — You should be looking especially attractive, Leo. You may have an ethereal, mystical look about you that attracts attention from strangers. This won’t be lost on your friends, either. You could find it unsettling, particularly if people get too attentive or if a love partner gets jealous. Relax and enjoy it anyway.

VIRGO — Your phone may seem haunted today, Virgo. Calls might be filled with static, you could get some phantom rings, or callers may insist they tried to call when your phone never rang. There probably isn’t any supernatural force at work, but it might be a good idea check with your phone company. There could be problems with your equipment.

beachgoers escaping the heat looked on at this disaster, Heal the Ocean Field Advisor Harry Rabin began to work on the problem.

Mr. Rabin showed up early the next day, working by himself, to remove toxic polluting items and relocate them above the tideline.

As he worked, he called for help from various agencies including Harbor Patrol, Coast Guard, Patriot Environmental Services, TowBoatUS and more to recruit help and develop a plan of action.

Additionally, he located the vessel’s owner and had him remove 40 gallons of diesel fuel before demolition the following morning.

The highest concern was further toxins such as fuel and oil entering the ocean.

The last step required owner permission in addition to all appropriate agencies involved, before Heal the Ocean would be

allowed to remove the vessel. This was achieved by 5 p.m. Sept. 11, and the call to Brian Borgatello, president of MarBorg Industries, was made.

An agreement was made for the wreck to be removed from the beach expeditiously the following morning. Heal the Ocean guaranteed payment for the operation.

At 5 a.m. Sept. 12, Mr. Borgatello was there on the site with his crew. So was Mr. Rabin.

Everybody went to work.

Their efforts paid off.

By the time everyone in Santa Barbara was waking up for their morning coffee, the boat wreck was gone, and the beach was raked and clean.

Mr. Rabin noted that “no boat debris, nor even a single drop of fuel, oil, coolant or other liquidbased toxins made it into the sea during the entire operation.”

“We thank Mayor Randy Rowse, Councilwoman Kristen Sneddon, City Administrator Rebecca Bjork, the Harbor Patrol office,

Hillary Hauser, executive director of Heal the Ocean, thanked Santa Barbara officials for their help in dealing with the beached boat.

Coast Guard and others for responding to our calls for help Sunday morning,” HTO Executive Director Hillary Hauser said. email: nhartstein@newspress.com

“However, I am not proud that it has taken 20 years to get other people of color running,” said Councilman Aceves.

He noted he comes to council meetings prepared. “I have been in every single vote for the last 16 years because I have never missed a meeting. I am very proud of that.

“There are three issues that come up every year: roadway conditions, park maintenance and public safety,” Councilman Aceves said. “Those will remain my priority.”

The News-Press asked Councilman Aceves what his goals are if re-elected.

“I will still focus on citywide issues including building the fire station on the west end of town,” he said. “The need was first identified as a need in 1958. I was 3 at the time ,and we still haven’t built it. We have plans moving forward, and we are further than we ever have been.”

Councilman Aceves said he will also prioritize the construction of a new train depot at La Patera, which will fill a huge need for tourists, local transportation and UCSB students.

“We have acquired the adjacent building and now have sufficient grants to build the train station with a bigger footprint and bigger building, which is about ready to

go out for bid,” Mr. Aceves said.

Another of his priorities is the renovation of the Goleta Valley Community Center. On Tuesday, the project was approved to go out for contracts for first stage earthquake retro grade, according to Councilman Aceves.

“I grew up in Santa Barbara and moved my family to Goleta in 1983 and have been a resident for 39 years,” he said. “I raised my family in Goleta and have been active in many nonprofits.”

Up to now, council positions were at-large seats representing the entire city. Starting with this November’s election, council members are being elected to represent specific districts, and Councilman Aceves is seeking the 1st District seat.

“The 1st District will now become my primary focus. These are really exciting times as we go into district elections, and I pride myself on constituency service,” said Councilman Aceves, noting that the No. 1 issue for constituents has been road conditions.

“Come April, I will have lived here 40 years, and I have been re-elected four times,” Mr. Aceves said. “Several elections I ran unopposed, which speaks as a credit to the service I have provided.”

“I think I am proud of the work that I have accomplished in these 16 years. I moved my family here because of the physical beauty

and strong business community,” he said. “Goleta has had one of the lowest unemployment rates of any city in the county, but it didn’t come by accident. I work really hard with local businesses to make sure they can succeed and that they can acquire and maintain employees. That is why I work closely with the chamber of commerce.

“I truly believe that we have a very dynamic community,” Mr. Aceves said. “We have a strong value in protecting open spaces, maintaining creeks and conserving water. Although we are not water purveyors, we have a big role in that.

“Our work to help our homeless community has been very strategic,” Councilman Aceves said. “We work well with other communities to help solve this problem to give help and a step up. I am glad that our small city can play a big role in that.

“I love the job, and I am committed to it,” he said. “Public service has always been a part of my life.

“When I was elected in 2006, I was still in law enforcement and retired in May of 2007 to devote myself to being a council member.

While technically the city council is a part-time job, I treat it like a full-time job, which is why I have never missed a meeting in 16 years.” email: kzehnder@newspress.com
