Authorities investigating pair of fires near waterfront By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A pair of recent fires that broke out near the Santa Barbara waterfront are under investigation, though authorities say it does not appear those fires are connected. “It really boils down to coincidence,” Jim Austin, fire investigator for the Santa Barbara City Fire Department, told the News-Press Tuesday afternoon. A fire broke out around 8 a.m. April 19 in the 200 block of West Cabrillo Boulevard near Sambo’s restaurant. While some reports indicate the fire was behind the long-time waterfront breakfast spot, Mr. Austin said the fire was actually adjacent to Sambo’s on property belonging to Hotel Milo. The blaze, which is considered suspicious in nature, destroyed a shed and all of its contents. Slight damage was reported to the exterior of Sambo’s and a cooler located indoors was damaged due to radiant heat. No injuries were reported. The cost of the damage associated with the fire is $7,500 for the shed and $2,500 fo the contents, Mr. Austin said. When asked to elaborate on why the cause of Sunday’s fire is suspicious, Mr. Austin replied, “The simplest way to put it is I have not found any accidental sources of ignition.” Around 8 a.m. April 21, authorities responded to the Boat Launch Mini-Mart near the boat launch ramp at the Santa Barbara Harbor, which was consumed by flames as personnel arrived on scene. The building was completely destroyed and all its contents were lost. Preliminary estimates indicate $100,000 in damage to the building and $50,000 for it’s contents, Mr. Austin said. “I’m confident it was accidental in nature,” Mr. Austin said. “The building was locked and we had to break the door in… there’s no indication of any criminal activity. “They did have a burglary about a month ago, but an arrest was made there.”

A fire at the Boat Launch Mini-Mart on Tuesday morning. Mr. Austin reiterated that the two recent fires are not connected. “I know a lot of people want to connect it to the pandemic, but I’m not,” he said. “I’ve been doing this for 26 years now and we just have periods where we just seem to get more fires than other times, so I’m not ready to blame it on COVID-19, that’s for sure.” The fire department has also responded to its fair share of fires within transient camps located near highway on or offramps in recent weeks, something that is not uncommon. “Traditionally when the weather starts warming back up and transients are -- not that I’m blaming all the fires on them, but some of them I absolutely can -- they start not taking advantage of shelters and things like that because the weather is warmer, so they’ll be having their own cooking fires and things like that. It’s not unusual for things to pick up when the weather gets better.”

Over the next few days, temperatures in the lower to mid 80s are expected along with strong winds, according to the National Weather Service in Oxnard. A wind advisory went into effect Tuesday morning and will remain in place until 9 p.m. tonight due to northeast winds 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph for the South Coast, county mountains, cities of Santa Barbara, Montecito and Carpinteria, as well as San Marcos Pass and the San Rafael and Dick Smith Wilderness areas. Once that advisory expires tonight, a high wind watch will be in effect through Thursday afternoon. North winds 25-40 mph with gusts up to 65 mph possible, which could cause downed trees and power outages. Sunny conditions are forecast this weekend and into the early portions of next week, according to the Weather Service.

Former EPA head Mike Stoker appointed to federal energy board By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Former local elected official and head of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Pacific Southwest Region Mike Stoker has been appointed by President Donald Trump to serve as the U.S. Representative on the Western Interstate Nuclear Energy Board. Mr. Stoker, who was dismissed from his EPA duties in February citing “clashes” with leadership, announced the appointment Monday on his Facebook page. The White House nominated the former Santa Barbara County Supervisor for the nuclear board, also known as the Western Interstate Energy Board, late last month. Established in 1970 by Congress, the board coordinates energy issues for some 11 western states and two Candian provinces. The board works alongside the Energy Department and focuses on transporting spent nuclear fuel, as well as other energy related issues, according to its website. In the social media post, Mr. Stoker included a picture of a letter sent to him by President Trump. “As the representative of the United States, you will have an opportunity to perform a valuable service to both the States and the Federal Government. You have my continuing support and interest in this undertaking,” President Trump wrote. Also in the post, Mr. Stoker detailed his exit from the EPA. “Since my termination as the Administrator for the Southwest Region of the US EPA everyone’s been asking me why? Initially I had no clue. Two weeks after I was terminated I found out it was the leadership at EPA that made the decision,” he wrote. “The White House called and said they wanted me back in the Administration and after looking at options that made sense for me and where I could best serve the President we agreed that being appointed to the WINB and WIEB made the most sense. (I did not want a full

time position and sought appointment to a substantial board where I could also be able to join a national law firm in the position Of Counsel.)” Mr. Stoker added that he may never know the reason behind the EPA leadership’s action and said he was never reprimanded or “told that I should consider doing anything differently” during his time with the agency. “I know I gave 110% everyday I served to be the best a Regional Administrator for EPA could be,” he wrote. “And I know every action I took, I took being a loyal Presidential appointee taking the action I thought the President would want me to take. (Personally I think it was some of these actions that led leadership to conclude that I exercised more independence than they would like to see in their Regional Administrators.)” The 63-year-old Carpinteria resident was hired in May 2018 as the head of what is known as Region 9, which includes California, Nevada, Arizona, Hawaii and the Pacific islands. Upon the announcement that he was being removed from his post, Mr. Stoker issued a letter to Region 9 staff, which stated he wouldn’t reveal the specific details on his ouster while President Trump was still in office. “Generally speaking I will say I believe too many clashes between myself and leadership in HQ over policy and non-policy items (when I was given advance notice which often was not the case) ultimately played a significant role in the call,” he wrote in the February letter. During his time with the EPA, Mr. Stoker was criticized for attempting to oversee employees stationed in San Francisco from Los Angeles. Some 93% of the 663 employees within Region 9 were stationed in San Francisco. Mr. Stoker petitioned to have his duty station changed to L.A. and the request was later granted. In March 2019, the EPA’s Office of the Inspector General investigated a “hotline complaint” about how much time Mr. Stoker was

spending away from San Francisco. The office then issued a “Management Alert” that documented how Mr. Stoker spent $43,875 in taxpayer funds on 35 separate trips between May 2018 and February 2019. The report found he spent only 30 out of 145 workdays in San Francisco. Prior to joining the EPA, Mr. Stoker was the director of government affairs for UnitedAg, one of the states largest agricultural associations. He also served as a member of the Santa Barbara County Supervisors from 1986-1994, chairman of the California Agricultural Labor Relations Board from 19952000 and California deputy secretary of state from 2000 to 2002. More recently, Mr. Stoker is known as the person behind the “lock her up” chants in opposition to Hillary Clinton. He wrote on Facebook that he was “taking solace” that President Trump wants him to continue to serve in his administration. “I look forward to this new opportunity to deal with energy issues in the western states. And as far as the EPA goes, the leadership at EPA may have taken away the job but they can’t take away the two years that I was given the privilege to work with the most professional, dedicated and passionate people anywhere” he wrote. “Finally I can assure you that you could not have better people serving this country to assure the mission of the U.S. EPA to protect the public health and environment is accomplished day in and day out. From all the career staff to the politically appointed Regional Administrators and Assistant Administrators in headquarters in DC they are all the best of the best. I wish you all well and say it was such an honor to work with you as your colleague,” Mr. Stoker wrote. “With that you now know everything I know. The past is the past and the next chapter of the future has just begun. “Stay tuned and stay safe in these extraordinary times.” email: mwhite@newspress.com

In theory, your 11 points are enough for a jump to two spades, inviting game, but your king of hearts, trapped in front of the opening bidder, may be worthless. Many experts would jump anyway.

workplace could suddenly find you very attractive and make no secret of it today, Libra. How you respond, of course, is up to you, but if you don’t reciprocate this person’s feelings, don’t respond positively simply because you’re flattered. This could cause trouble for you down the line, particularly if this person is in a position of authority. Hold out for the right person! SCORPIO — Your desire to respect and honor the special someone in your life clashes today with an equally strong desire to become a passionate persuader, Scorpio. The secret to resolving this conflict lies in knowing that the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Also, if you’re going to make the most of both drives, you need to tune in to your partner’s thoughts and feelings. Zero in on what you both want and then go for it! Enjoy your day. SAGITTARIUS — Have you been harboring a secret desire for someone you believe thinks of you only as a friend, Sagittarius? Don’t be surprised if you learn differently today. This is a day when hidden passions may suddenly be revealed and your friend could unexpectedly divulge a covert attraction to you! The only downside is that sometimes it can be a letdown when fantasies become reality. Take note of your reaction before moving ahead. CAPRICORN — Today you could encounter a work colleague and suddenly feel an unexpected romantic attraction, Capricorn. This could catch you off guard because you never before thought about this person in that way. Before jumping in with both feet, give yourself some time to come down. You’re feeling especially sensual today, so this might well pass by tomorrow. Stay grounded for now. If the attraction is still there in a few days, think about it! AQUARIUS — A sum of money that you might have been expecting from far away may be delayed, Aquarius. This could be frustrating for you, but don’t panic. The money is indeed coming. So unless your situation is urgent, just sit back and wait. If you want to check with those who are sending it, by all means do so. However, you’ll probably find that the matter is out of their hands. Be patient and hang in there. PISCES — Sex and romance are top priority for you today, Pisces. You’re looking especially beautiful, you’re feeling especially sensual, and you could well attract admiring looks from strangers. You might want to indulge in some new clothes or perhaps new cologne. This is definitely the perfect day to schedule an intimate evening with a love partner. If you can, go for it. It might be a day or two before your schedules mesh, however. Be patient!

Since 1981 I’ve written a monthly column for the ACBL’s magazine. Many have been “over-my-shoulder” tyle. You listen in on my thoughts during a deal. Ninety of the best of these appear n “Play Bridge With Me,” my 23rd book, just published. The deals are ntermediate level; the focus is on ogical thinking. At today’s four spades, I win the irst heart in dummy and lead a diamond. I can’t risk losing an early rump finesse; I need a quick pitch or my heart loser. East wins the econd diamond and returns a heart, and I win to discard dummy’s last heart on my high diamond. When I inesse in trumps, East wins and exits with a trump.

HOROSCOPE

ARIES — If you’re single, Aries, tonight you could find yourself longing for a lover from the past and wondering what’s happening with this person right now. If you’re currently involved, you might be experiencing a temporary separation from your beloved, and could feel inclined to spend the evening at home. If you choose to do this, entertain yourself with a favorite book or movie. Remember a watched phone never rings! TAURUS — Are you waiting for a love partner to phone you at work, Taurus? As much as you want to hear from your friend, you could well get so caught up in your work that you wouldn’t hear a marching band go by. As you work, be sure to keep one ear tuned to the real world by looking up or getting up and walking around occasionally. Otherwise, you might sabotage what you want the most today. GEMINI — Your sensuality is tempered today with a touch of the mystical sort of romantic feeling found in fairy tales, Gemini. This might be unusual for you, but your current partner is going to love it! If you’re single, you’re likely to attract a lot of attention and possibly meet someone new and exciting. Take care that you make the effort to see the real person and not just a romantic image. Good luck! CANCER — A desire to spruce up your home might start with a thorough cleaning from attic to basement, Cancer. You could go through that chore like gangbusters and then do some repairs or go for the fun stuff, such as redecorating with plants or even some new furniture. You can have a lot of fun with this, especially if your partner or friends help out. Work hard and enjoy your day! LEO — A love partner could contact you out of the blue, Leo, perhaps proposing that the two of you get together tonight - alone. You’re in just the mood for this, since you’re feeling especially sexy and not particularly afraid to show it. An evening at home or in a dark corner of your favorite restaurant might be just the ticket. Don’t be surprised if your friend orders champagne and shows up with flowers! Have fun! VIRGO — Have you been waiting to hear about some funds, Virgo, perhaps to create a piece of art, write a book, or make a documentary film? If so, you could have a lot to celebrate today when you receive news that the money is forthcoming! Don’t be surprised if there’s a delay, however. The project is still going to happen, but just a little later than you’d hoped. All you can do now is be Monday, patient. November 16, 2015 LIBRA — Someone at your
