Environmental activists protest Exxon trucking proposal

CDC backs boosters for millions of Americans By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Over a hundred environmental activists marched through State Street on Friday to protest ExxonMobil’s proposal to truck oil along the Central Coast. Above, members from the Society of Fearless Grandmothers hold a sign saying “Stop Exxon Trucking.”

By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A crowd of over a hundred environmental activists rallied on Friday to oppose ExxonMobil’s proposal to truck oil along the Central Coast. Activists from the Society of Fearless Grandmothers, the Santa Barbara County Action Network, 350 Santa Barbara, the UCSB Environmental Affairs Board, Sunrise Movement Santa Barbara and other environmental justice groups marched from the County Administration Building to De la Guerra Plaza as part of a peaceful protest on Friday. The group rallied to urge the county’s Planning Commission to deny an oil trucking proposal from ExxonMobil, which the commission will consider during a public hearing this Wednesday. ExxonMobil’s proposal seeks to truck up to 70 oil tankers per day from its Las Flores Canyon facility to its Santa Maria Pump Station via Highway 101 and to the Pentland Terminal in Kern County via State Route 166. The company has also proposed a phased reboot of three offshore drilling platforms in the Santa Barbara Channel, which were shut down after the Refugio Oil Spill in 2015. Current county policy only allows the company to transport oil via pipeline. In order to begin trucking, ExxonMobil must receive approval from the county to begin trucking until another pipeline can be built or the Plains Pipeline can be restored. Activists who gathered on Friday said approval of this trucking project would accelerate the climate crisis and threaten the county’s ecosystems if a spill were to occur. Some of their concerns were supported by an

environmental review completed by the county’s Planning and Development Department last month, which revealed that an accidental oil spill as a result of the trucking would have an “unavoidable” impact if the project is approved. “Exxon’s trucking plan is reckless, it is audacious and it is knowingly endangering life to make a profit,” Alyssa Nazari Jain, a political team

leader with Sunrise Movement Santa Barbara, told the crowd on Friday. “And it is a duty of the Planning Commission to reject this project.” She told the crowd that Exxon’s tankers are “accidents waiting to happen,” noting that a spill would pollute ancestral Chumash lands, habitats of several endangered species and “threaten the safety of us all.” “We all have a right to clean air

and clean water and a livable future,” she continued. “If the Planning and Development Department won’t protect that right, if ExxonMobile won’t respect that right, then it’s up to us to fight for it.” The group of activists marched down State Street on Friday, reciting chants like “Exxon be gone” and “Keep that oil Please see PROTEST on A6

With just under six weeks left until the Nov. 2 city council election, the Santa Barbara Police Officers Association endorsed Randy Rowse, Barrett Reed and Nina Johnson on Friday. The association endorsed Mr. Rowse for mayor, Mr. Reed for District 4 and Ms. Johnson for District 6 in a letter sent out Friday by SBPOA Executive Director Eric Beecher. In the endorsement letter, the association said Mr. Rowse’s experience as a former city councilmember gives him the “experience and ability to make Santa Barbara a better place to live and work.” The letter also acknowledged Mr. Reed and Ms. Johnson as strong supporters of public safety and said the candidates’ backgrounds and experiences would make them each a good fit for the council. Of Mr. Reed, the association said he has the “skill set and forward thinking Santa Barbara needs” from his background as lifelong resident and local businessman.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention backed Pfizer booster shots for millions of older and vulnerable Americans on Friday, paving the way for swaths of the population to receive additional protection from COVID-19. The CDC is now recommending that people ages 65 and older, residents of long-term care facilities, and people ages 50 to 64 years with underlying medical conditions receive a Pfizer booster shot six months after being fully vaccinated with the Pfizer-BioNTech series. The agency also endorsed the Pfizer booster shot for people ages 18 to 49 who have underlying health conditions and want a booster shot. CDC Director Rochelle Walensky split from a CDC advisory group on Friday by also endorsing boosters for people ages 18 to 64 who are at increased risk of contracting COVID-19 from where they work and want the extra shot. The CDC advisory panel voted against offering booster shots to workers with occupational hazards after lengthy deliberations on Thursday. The director’s decision on Friday aligned with the Food and Drug Administration’s authorization from earlier this week, which recommended booster shots be offered to people at high risk of contracting COVID-19 in the workplace. In a statement, Dr. Walensky said the CDC is tasked with the job of analyzing “complex, often imperfect data” to make public health decisions that will “do the greatest good.” “I believe we can best serve the nation’s public health needs by providing booster doses for the elderly, those in long-term care facilities, people with underlying medical conditions and for adults at high risk of disease from occupational and institutional exposures to COVID-19,” Dr. Walensky said in the statement. “This aligns with the FDA’s booster authorization and makes these groups eligible for a booster shot.” She added that the agency will address the recommendations for Moderna and Johnson & Johnson booster shots as soon as data becomes available.

On Friday, the Western States Scientific Safety Review Workgroup completed its review of the CDC’s recommendation and aligned with the agency’s recommendation for eligible groups. With this approval, primary care providers and pharmacies in California can now begin doling out booster shots to eligible residents. “Vaccines are how we end this pandemic,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement. “With today’s Western States Scientific Safety Review Workgroup recommendation, California is ready to go on day one to begin administering Pfizer-BioNTech boosters to eligible Californians, in addition to our continued work in reaching those who remain unvaccinated to protect communities. Vaccines save lives, and boosters are a critical next step towards better protecting Californians from COVID-19.” Dr. Van Do-Reynoso, the Santa Barbara County public health director, told the News-Press on Friday that she is encouraging eligible patients to reach out to their primary care physician to schedule their booster shot appointment. She stressed that the Public Health Department is urging those eligible for the booster shot who have insurance to contact their primary care provider to set up appointments to receive the shot. Primary care providers can help connect patients to participating pharmacies where

this virus with unknown long-term effects and bringing it home to the people they love.” Seventy-eight percent of teachers responding to a Santa Barbara Teachers Association survey support the mandate, Joyce Adriansen, the association’s president, told the board.

“This vaccine policy is not about our rights as individuals but our collective rights as people, and our need to care for one another — our students, our parents, our colleagues, our community,” Ms. Capps said. “As a mom, I am a fierce advocate for our children. And too many of them, especially those who are too young to be vaccinated, are being exposed to

After hours of lively debate Thursday, the Santa Barbara Unified School District board voted unanimously to require COVID-19 vaccines for all its staff. Board members removed a COVID-19 testing alternative for staff choosing not to be vaccinated. Santa Barbara Unified is the first district in Santa Barbara County to remove that option. All employees must provide proof of their first shot by Oct. 1 and the second dose, if applicable, by Nov. 1. But the board can consider medical and religious exemptions for individuals. About 88% of the district’s regular 1,673 staff are vaccinated, the district reported in a news release. The board’s decision came after more than 70 residents, including the district’s teachers and other employees and students, told the board how they felt. Opponents and proponents were both passionate during the virtual session. About two-thirds opposed the mandate, contending it was a violation of their rights. They also expressed concern about the vaccines’ safety and effectiveness. But others said the mandate is needed to protect students, especially those in the age 511 group. No vaccine has been approved yet for that age group. The opponents’ and proponents’ comments were reported in

detail in Friday’s News-Press. (See newspress.com/sb-unifiedconsiders-vaccination-mandate.) At Thursday’s meeting, schools Superintendent Hilda Maldonado expressed her support for the vaccine mandate. She cited growing concerns over the more highly contagious delta variant and the threat to children who are unable to be vaccinated. “As public education leaders, our unwavering responsibility is to the health and safety of children and staff,” she said. “The availability of a vaccine that combats the virus — along with all other mitigation layers we have in place — will provide us with the highest protection available.” Dr. Maldonado said the district is offering counseling for employees concerned about the vaccine’s safety. Kate Ford, the school board president, said she supported the mandate because her heart and data “tells me that we must do more, and because it is my job as a school board member to do everything I can to ensure that the students and staff of our district are kept as safe as possible. “The resolution is not a violation of a God-given freedom,” she said. “It is a decision in the interest of the greater good.” Ms. Ford cited other instances in which regulations are needed for the greater good, such as seat belt requirements and ordinances against smoking in public places. Other school board members agreed that the vaccines are crucial in protecting students’ health and safety.

is a “tenacious leader” in City Hall who is willing to work with community members to “take action and get things done.” Within the endorsement letter, the association also stated “no confidence” in the city council incumbents running in the election. The letter claims that the council has “fostered a culture of distrust in our police officers and not honoring the professional and dangerous work they do everyday.” “The lack of understanding and knowledge of what our police officers endure on a daily basis is irresponsible,” the letter states. “These decisions to not stand behind your police officers have directly threatened public safety and the safety of those employed to protect our community.” The letter also details findings from an internal survey the association conducted a few months ago that sought to determine why police officers were leaving the Santa Barbara Police Department in high numbers. The letter claims the results of the survey revealed that “morale is at an all-time low” among SBPD deputies and says the “number one reason” people are leaving

the department is due to “lack of support from our city leaders.” The letter concludes by calling for new leadership on the city council, expressing confidence in Mr. Rowse, Ms. Johnson and Mr. Reed. “We know Randy Rowse, Barrett Reed and Nina Johnson will provide your local law enforcement with the resources necessary to fight crime and keep this community safe,” the letter states. “We are certain that each of these candidates will place your safety, as well as the safety of your family, homes and businesses, as their top priority.” In response to the claims made in the endorsement letter, Mayor Cathy Murillo told the NewsPress in an email that as mayor, she “fully supports” the police department and its officers, and looks forward to continuing to work with them in the council’s regular meetings on youth safety and homelessness. “I always look out for the well-being of my employees, and have been the strongest advocate for decent salaries, safe working conditions, and secure retirement,” the mayor wrote. “And, I will continue my support for a new police headquarters.” “I also will continue to support stronger oversight and the mission of the Community Formation

Commission, which is developing a recommendation regarding civilian oversight to prevent excessive use of force in our police department,” she continued. “I hope that the heat of electoral politics can be viewed for what it is, and that our residents know there is trust and respect among us all.” The city council election will

Measures for Vandenberg Space Force Base and other Central Coast entities were included in the National Defense Authorization Act, which passed the House with bipartisan support this week. The legislation was approved Wednesday by a vote of 316-113. The bill now goes to the Senate and includes proposals made by U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara. “The bill includes my legislation to protect over 250,000 acres of public lands on the Central Coast, extends the lifesaving FireGuard program to help us detect and monitor wildfires, gives our service members a pay raise, and much more,” Rep. Carbajal said in a news release. “This bill is a major win for our troops, our communities and our country.” Rep. Carbajal supported the legislation’s $5 million increase to Spacelift Range System, which would improve the infrastructure at ranges including the ones at Vandenberg Space Force Base. The congressman also secured a provision that requires the chief of space operations to create a plan to address challenges to long-term infrastructure at U.S. Space Force launch ranges. Rep. Carbajal co-sponsored an amendment that would prevent the construction of SPACECOM (U.S. Space Command) headquarters in Alabama until the General Accounting Office and Department of Defense inspector general’s site inspections are completed. (The congressman previously supported efforts to make Vandenberg the headquarters for Space Command.) The National Defense Authorization Act also includes Rep. Carbajal’s Central Coast Protection Act, which designates more than 250,000 acres in Los Padres National Forest and Carrizo Plain National Monument as “wilderness” to protect the land’s future. The bill also helps 468 wildlife species and more than 1,200 plant species and addresses the climate crisis. Rep. Carbajal introduced an amendment, which authorizes the FireGuard program for five years. The amendment passed. The program uses Department of Defense resources to help local jurisdictions detect and monitor wildfires. And the congressman led several bipartisan amendments to make military assets more compatible with wind energy opportunities, according to the news release. In addition, Rep. Carbajal helped to pass a measure that allows the defense secretary to provide a basic needs allowance to qualified service members. This would be based on the Military

Carbajal led a bipartisan amendment to prevent people convicted of a felony hate crime from receiving a waiver to enlist in the military. Rep. Carbajal also co-sponsored an amendment to include Sgt. First Class Javier J. Gutierrez Purple Heart Survivor Naturalization Fee Relief Act in the bill. The amendment waives fees for immediate relatives of Purple Heart recipients who are pursuing naturalization. And Rep. Carbajal helped to secure $4 million for biotechnology advancements at University Affiliated Research Centers.

Continued from Page A1 in the soil.” They drew glances from retail shoppers and restaurant diners as they made their way to De la Guerra Plaza. Among the group of activists was UCSB freshman Isabella Ponce. She was among dozens of students who came out to Friday’s rally and march in support of protecting the future of the environment. “I’m hoping that we managed to tell the people in Santa Barbara and those who are sitting around

outside dining that young people care about our future and we don’t want to live in a world that’s polluted by everything all the time,” Ms. Ponce told the NewsPress. “And we hope to have a world to leave behind to our grandchildren and their children, and just create a better future for everyone.” During Friday’s rally, multiple activists recalled the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report released last month that estimated the world will reach a warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius within the next two decades. Scientists deemed the report a “code red

for humanity,” and said urgent change is needed to limit further warming. Irene Cooke, a coordinator and co-founder of the Fearless Grandmother’s Society, told the News-Press on Friday that she hopes Friday’s march helps people to understand “the urgency” of the climate situation. “It’s very easy for people to get depressed and anxious if they hear all the horrible news and see the orange sun in the sky today,” Ms. Cooke said, noting the hazy sky above caused wildfire smoke from Northern California. “But the antidote for

depression and anxiety is action. And that’s what we’re doing here.” “We don’t have 50 years to deal with this,” she added. “We have about less than eight years to make dramatic changes in our policies globally, or people in (the younger) generation will be suffering the consequences for years to come.” To view the Planning Commission’s agenda regarding the ExxonMobil trucking plan, visit countyofsb.org/ plndev/hearings/cpc.sbc.

Carpinteria sinks Nordhoff in water polo NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

The Carpinteria boys water polo team beat Nordhoff 15-6 Thursday. Zach Isaac had a lot to do with that. Isaac scored a team high of 5 goals at the match in Ojai. “The Warriors came prepared and got off to a fast start scoring their four first quarter goals in the shallow end, where it is typically more difficult to score,” Carpinteria Coach Jon Ostuki told the News-Press in an email. “By halftime, the Warriors extended their lead to a 5-goal margin and never looked back.”

Mateo Handall pitched in 3 goals. Reyn Clayton and Asher Smith scored 2 each. And Ian Thomas, Gavin Lohuis and Coby Gonzales each hit the back of the goal once. Goalie Jacob Taff had 6 saves on the day. Next up for the Warriors is its match Tuesday at Carpinteria Community Pool against the Villanova Prep Wildcats.

n a setting that is described as “moody, yet glamorous East Coast- reminiscent,” the dining room at the Coast Range & Vaquero Bar, a steakhouse and seafood restaurant in downtown Solvang, is making its debut this weekend as part of a phased opening. The new multi-concept hospitality venture, which includes a full cocktail bar, deli counter, cafe and pastry program, initially greeted guests in April with the opening of the Vaquero Bar and the patio dining portion of the project. “When we decided to do Coast

Range, we wanted to make sure we did it right. We designed and built the restaurant by hand. We work hard to source the best ingredients, and we care deeply about the guest experience,” said Chef Steven Fretz, a co-owner with chefs Anthony Carron and Lincoln Carson. Featured in the Vaquero Bar is a hand-built, 16-seat bar in a 500-square foot space that has large windows and a new entryway, both of which open to patios with seating for up to 36 patrons. The Coast Range dining room adds another 1,000 square feet of seating for up to 60 guests. The room is accented with custom stained glass panels above a row of intimate private booths,

which are also adorned with handleafed gold detail, according to a press release. Glass sconces and chandeliers, crafted in Italy, line the walls of the booths and dangle from the gilded, pressed-tin ceilings above the curved leather banquettes. Each booth’s theme is separate from the others with one such nook displaying equestrian artwork, and another has a nautical look. “We’re so grateful to have had so much community support, in some cases very literally, as some of our friends and neighbors helped with the heavy lifting, physically, of putting beams in place, stacking bricks and moving a 2,000-pound grill,” said Chef Carson. Dinner items include dishes

such as cream of chanterelle soup (leeks, cipollini, cranberry); Lobster Thermador (a two-pound Maine lobster with brandied lobster cream, glacéed mushrooms and Gruyere cheese; Wagyu Beef Stroganoff (handmade tagliatelle, horseradish cream and red wine mushrooms); or the Coast Range Beef Wellington (tenderloin, bresaola, spinach crêpe and sauce perigourdine). The restaurant also offers desserts that rotate in and out, such as a Valrhona Chocolate soufflé with green chartreuse gelato; brioche donuts with a brown butter glaze or an apple tart with walnut frangipane and vanilla bean gelato. Vaquero Bar’s full cocktail menu

is sectioned into Martinis, Old Fashioneds, Margaritas, Sours, Mules, Negronis, Collins and Tikis. Each section offers three different drink options with imaginative twists like the Midnight Rider Old Fashioned, which includes Old Forester 100 Bourbon, maple, black walnut bitters and red oak smoked; or in the Ramblin’ Man Margarita with Milagro Tequila, pineapple, champagne and black salt. As wine director, Rajat Parr will add to the Coast Range wine list on an ongoing basis. More than just business partners, the Coast Range founders are longtime friends who first worked together over a decade ago and now call the Santa Ynez Valley home.

Chef Carron was the executive chef for Michael Mina for many years, then went on to found 800 Degrees Wood Fired Kitchen and Top Round, two Los Angeles-based casual dining brands. Chef Fretz is also a co-founder of Top Round, opened Church Key in Los Angeles and has worked with chefs such as Mr. Mina, David Burke and Curtis Stone. A celebrated pastry chef and 2020 finalist for a James Beard Award, Mr. Carson was previously chef/owner of Bon Temps in downtown Los Angeles, which received local and national acclaim including recognition as a “best new restaurant” from Los Angeles Magazine, Los Angeles Please see RESTAURANT on B2

Teachers’ Fund drive exceeds its $60,000 goal By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Santa Barbara-area teachers welcoming students back to their classrooms this fall will do so buoyed by more than $62,000 raised by the local nonprofit Teachers’ Fund. This year’s annual Back-toSchool Drive was especially meaningful — and needed — as teachers bought new tools, learning materials and otherwise equipped their classrooms for students making the transition back to in-person learning. Community members and local businesses eagerly answered the calls for help, driving the donation total beyond the goal of $60,000. Donors also sponsored individual teachers’ requests for making learning even richer through specialty art, language and math subscriptions — and more comfortable, with adjustable work benches and classroom rugs

and adaptable for new indooroutdoor learning environments. “I’m thrilled students are back in the classroom, alongside friends and the rest of the school community where they learn best and have strong inperson support,” said Brianna Johnson, event co-chair for Village Properties Realtors, who had the idea for the first drive back in 2019. “And I’m so appreciative to businesses and community members who are helping ensure students have what it takes to help make that transition as successfully as possible.” Renee Grubb, owner of Village Properties Realtors and founder of the Teachers’ Fund, said the generosity of the community never ceases to amaze her. She praised the tireless effort of the full committee: Ms. Johnson, Amy Abbott, Sheela Hunt, Angel Speier, Dianne Johnson, Candace Cavaletto, Alyssa Jones, Ivonne Arroyo and Leanne Wood. “It’s a

team effort, and this team works so hard to make sure as many classrooms as possible get badly needed support.” All money raised from the fundraiser goes directly to local K-12 teachers to help them buy educational materials that enhance their students’ learning. The Teachers’ Fund was created in 2002 by the owners of Village Properties as a way for teachers to request much needed supplies for their classrooms. Since then, the fund has donated more than $1.8 million to Santa Barbara-area schools, with 100 percent of the funds raised given directly to teachers for their classrooms.

Thought for Today “I’m not concerned with your liking or disliking me... All I ask is that you respect me as a human being.” — Jackie Robinson

CODEWORD PUZZLE By Dave Green

ARIES — The day ahead should be excellent, Aries. You tend to work with an energy unparalleled by the other signs, and today you reap some rewards for your diligence. These days it’s rare to find someone as conscientious as you, and you deserve recognition. Nevertheless, you still have many hills left to climb, as you well know! TAURUS — You’ve been lucky for the last two months, there’s no doubt about it. Lately it seems like your luck is changing. It’s hard to pinpoint, but something isn’t quite right in your daily life. At the moment, the planets are imparting some lessons that could be difficult to bear, Taurus. Get through this transition with as little pain as possible. The lessons you learn will prove worthwhile. GEMINI — This is going to be a good time to get a global view of things, Gemini. Take full advantage of the current planetary aspects by reading some books on spirituality or travel. If you desire to go on a long voyage, don’t be surprised if your job sends you on an adventure, even if it isn’t part of your job routine. Don’t hesitate! Go breathe in some fresh air in a new place! CANCER — It’s true that having to earn a living isn’t always the most agreeable thing in life, Cancer. However, we all know that it’s necessary. Have you thought about adding more balance to your life? All work and no play makes anyone a dull person. This would be a good day to examine your daily life and add some new elements. Yes, Cancer, it’s time for you to choose a hobby. LEO — If you’ve had some problems in your sentimental life during the last few months, Leo, they’re probably behind you now. It’s a sure bet that you’ve learned something. You’ve been served the same dish for years and now it seems you’ve finally had enough! Know that from now on you’ll be better about not falling into the same old traps. VIRGO — If you aren’t the most self-assured person in the world, Virgo, take a look around and see all that you’ve done. True, you still have many unattained dreams, but look at how many you’ve already realized. A lack of confidence in your abilities is holding you back. There’s a moment November for everyone16, when a leap Monday, 2015 of faith is required. It’s time for

you to jump. LIBRA — You may meet some new people in the next few days, Libra. Someone in your professional life may help you launch some unusual experiments that have never been done before. Or someone may want to create a new service or get into a completely new market. You will be the one they seek to explore these exciting new avenues! SCORPIO — It seems as though you’re trying to live down some criticism, Scorpio. For weeks you’ve taken special care to look over your work to catch any mistakes. Perhaps the number of errors you found surprised you. Criticism from others stung even more as a result, because you could see that it had some merit. Today you’ll get some relief. In fact, you may receive some compliments. SAGITTARIUS — Smile, Sagittarius, because the forecast is bright today. You’ll be in a curious mood, just right for new encounters. Perhaps this will add a little spice and enjoyment to your love life. There’s a wide spectrum of experiences awaiting you, ready to offer fulfillment. A spirit of adventure prevails. You should take advantage of it! CAPRICORN — The Rolling Stones said it best, “I can’t get no satisfaction,” and that’s how you’ve been feeling lately, Capricorn. Indeed, looking back on your recent activities, you may feel a bit like a character in Wonderland - running as fast as you can just to stay in the same place. The day ahead will provide some relief and open up new, more fulfilling opportunities. AQUARIUS — You’re often preoccupied by other people’s lives. Your devotion to others will be appreciated today, Aquarius. For example, in the family circle, you may have to bandage everyone’s little physical or psychological wounds. Don’t neglect your energy needs. As you’re aware, you need all the strength you can muster. PISCES — You may have some trouble getting out of bed today due to a desire to let the world carry on without your help for a while. Pisces, you can yield to that lazy urge today, for the aspects are likely to assist you in fulfilling your goals. Take advantage of some time off to rest or perhaps tidy your nest. You might want to make that bed, too.

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.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2021

Hazy day An American Airlines passenger airliner takes off from Santa Barbara Airport during hazy conditions Friday morning. The haze had an unusual tinge. The Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District said the air’s PM2.5 level — particulate matter smaller than 2.5 microns in diameter — was moderate throughout the county. The district explained that meant it was a good day for most people to be active outside, but those with unusual sensitivity should consider reducing exertion.
