An empty chair stood out among the 490 Santa Barbara High School seniors during graduation Wednesday evening. The seat, decorated with gold butterflies, was left for Ahrlenny Hernandez — or as her friends called her, “the queen.”

Ahrlenny died in 2019, but emotions were fresh as her parents took the stage to accept their daughter’s diploma.

SBHS Principal Elise Simmons and Ahrlenny’s friends Susana Perez and Genevieve Puddleford embraced the grieving parents.

The sounds of cowbells, air horns and muffled cheers filled O’Leary Stadium Wednesday as Dos Pueblos High School celebrated its 55th graduating class.

Excitement was eminent as graduates entered the stadium, donning navy and gold robes, decorated caps and, in true

pandemic fashion, face masks.

After an unpredictable year filled with COVID-19 school closures and restrictions, the cheers from family members and friends rang loud and long as 515 graduates crossed the stage to receive their long-awaited diploma.

Principal Bill Woodard opened the ceremony by reflecting on the unique moments the seniors have experienced during their time at DPHS.

He recalled that the first day of freshman year for the class was on Aug. 21, 2017, which was the day the historic solar eclipse spanned the United States for the first time in decades.

Mr. Woodard told the audience that when he thinks about that day, he never could have predicted the other impactful moments the class of 2021 would live through.

TRAFFIC, CRIME AND FIRE BLOTTER Driver arrested for DUI, double hit-and-run SANTA BARBARA — A Santa Barbara resident was arrested after failing sobriety tests and allegedly causing two collisions Sunday evening.

Police say the suspect rear-ended a vehicle while driving at a high rate of speed on State Street, causing minor injuries to the victim and a passenger.

A second hit-and-run occurred a few hours later near South Salinas and Ensenada streets.

The suspect fled on foot after the second collision, and officers made contact with him and conducted sobriety evaluations.

Police identified the suspect as Ardmore Taylor Jr., 52.

He is held at the Santa Barbara County Jail with a felony charge of a hit-and-run with injury, a misdemeanor hit-and-run, a misdemeanor DUI and a misdemeanor charge of possession of narcotics.

Supervisors clash with Sheriff over funding

By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

A heated debate erupted between members of the County Board of Supervisors and the Sheriff’s Office concerning law enforcement funding during the board’s special meeting Tuesday.

During what was supposed to be a meeting focused on the jail population in Santa Barbara County, members of the Board of Supervisors clashed with Sheriff Bill Brown over the allocation of law enforcement funds in the coming fiscal year.

The contentious conversation even led Sheriff Brown to claim the supervisors were in favor of “defunding the police,” setting ablaze a firestorm of responses from members of the board.

The Sheriff’s Office has proposed an operating budget of $177.1 million for the next fiscal year, which includes about $2.2 million for the operational budget of the Northern Branch Jail that is expected to open in the fall.

During Tuesday’s meeting, the Sheriff’s Office pitched a new housing reduction plan that will strategically shut down housing areas in the jail based on the average daily inmate population.

The Sheriff’s Office is optimistic this plan could effectively solve a longterm budget issue surrounding the amount of overtime pay needed for on duty staff by decreasing the amount of areas that are open when the inmate population is low. However, officials from the Sheriff’s Office cautioned that the rollout of the plan depends upon the average daily jail population, which they expect will climb after the

pandemic ends.

After a lengthy discussion about maintaining a low jail population in the months to come, Supervisor Gregg Hart proposed withholding $2.2 million in funds from the Sheriff’s Office to let the conversation on maintaining a low jail population evolve.

First District Supervisor Das Williams agreed with this measure, saying resources are in a “never ending cycle” of being put into incarceration, and this gives the county a chance to “find another way.”

“The jail has been for many many years the black hole sucking up the money not only that could be used on diversion, and mental health and all this liberal do-good stuff, but that’s also preventing us from having a large enough drug enforcement unit for hard drugs,” Mr. Williams said during Tuesday’s meeting. “It is also what’s standing in the way of sufficient numbers in patrol, so I think that we have to budget some of these savings (from the housing reduction plan) in order to make sure that this stuff happens.”

The discussion over withholding funds from the Sheriff’s Office prompted an angry response from 5th District Supervisor Steve Lavagnino, who said the action was “overstepping” on the board’s part.

“Give him the money. If you don’t like the way he spends it, you (Supervisor Williams) need to go out and campaign against him,” Mr. Lavagnino said. “This is BS.” Sheriff Brown also blasted back at supervisors, saying the Sheriff Office’s proposed budget “centers around overtime that is driven by a chronically

and structurally based deficit of staff to work in our custody system.” This year, the Sheriff’s Office is on track to record the lowest amount of overtime in a decade, the sheriff added, yet officials are uncertain if this current trajectory will hold up in a postCOVID world.

Sheriff Brown also said he believes the current jail population is “artificially low” due to the pandemic, and he expects to see an increase in the number of people in the jail as crime rates rise in the aftermath of COVID-19.

In addition to a historic backlog of cases in the criminal justice system, Sheriff Brown said the county has seen 15 homicides in the first few months of the year, while only 12 were recorded all of last year.

The Sheriff’s Office is also seeing a rise in robberies, burglaries, fraud and driving under the influence is increasing, Sheriff Brown reported.

“Our crime rates are significantly going up … “You cannot expect that we are not going to have an equal or greater number of people booked into custody (after the pandemic), and we don’t know where it’s going to end,” Sheriff Brown said. “So to sit there to say we are going to cut your budget and you’re going to have to deal with it, you’re going to force some choices that are going to be pretty ugly and that nobody is going to be happy with.

We have got to have the ability to operate that jail safely for the safety of the inmates and for the staff that are in it, and most importantly, we have to operate a jail for the safety of our community. Because I can guarantee that there’s nobody in that jail right now that is in there for a low level

crime.”

He later added, “I think that you are embracing the defunding of the police whether you mean to or not by this action, and I don’t believe that the people of Santa Barbara County who live in our incorporated areas, who live in our incorporated cities — I do not believe that the majority of those people would support defunding the police, and that is what you are talking about doing here right now.”

In response to the Sheriff, Mr. Hart defended his position and clarified that he was not proposing a decrease in funding, but rather slowing the amount of funding that is allocated at one time.

“The words you used were intentionally provocative, and I’m not going to go there because we’re not talking about defunding anything,” Mr. Hart said. “We’re talking about slowing the rate of increasing expenditures like we would be talking to any department at any place in the county.”

The discussion was eventually closed by Chair Bob Nelson, 4th District supervisor, who wanted to save further conversations about the budget until next week’s hearings.

Ultimately, the supervisors closed the meeting with a unanimous motion that asked the County Executive Office to seek information from the state about the parameters for rated jail beds, asked the Sheriff’s Office to return with more information on a timeline for the phased housing rollout and asked the CEO to consider having an outside organization evaluate the sheriff’s proposed housing plan. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

Convenience stores targeted, vandalized SANTA BARBARA — Santa Barbara Police responded to three calls of vandalism at convenience stores Monday: one in the 300 block of West Montecito Street at 5:50 a.m., the 400 block of North Milpas Street at 4 p.m. and the 1900 block of State Street at 11:10 p.m.

Video surveillance and witness statements led police to believe the same suspect committed all three incidents.

During the first vandalism, the suspect threw a large rock through the window of a local store before fleeing on foot.

At 4 p.m., the man threw items at a store’s glass windows, made criminal threats, then fled.

During the last incident, he threw a large coffee dispenser containing hot coffee at the store clerk.

SBPD identified the suspect as Santa Barbara resident Brian Burrell, 36. He was arrested several blocks away from the last incident.

Mr. Burrell is held at the Santa Barbara County Jail with three felony counts of vandalism, assault with a deadly weapon and criminal threats. Bail is set at $50,000.

Police arrest trespasser SANTA BARBARA — A transient was arrested after allegedly breaking into a residence in the 200 block of Calle Esperanza on Monday at 2:15 a.m.

Homeowners called 911 upon hearing loud banging and the shattering glass of a patio door.

One of the homeowners grabbed his firearm and noticed someone walking inside the home.

Officers evacuated the home and found the suspect inside, who SBPD has identified as Eivar Arroyo, 46.

Mr. Arroyo was saying nonsensical statements during the arrest, leading officers to believe he was suffering from mental illness.

He was booked at the Santa Barbara County Jail for a felony count of vandalism and a misdemeanor for aggravated trespass. Bail is $20,000.

Goleta residents and business owners will see a 5.91% rate increase of trash and recycling fees starting July 1.

The City Council unanimously voted Tuesday to increase the rates to implement recent state mandates and programs.

These programs include full capture programs to prevent trash from entering storm drains, creeks and the ocean, along with composting and recycling programs and edible food recovery programs to reduce food waste and greenhouse gases while feeding those who are food insecure.

The mandate also includes water quality protection programs and creek and watershed management programs to restore natural creek conditions, habitats and further improve water quality.

There was no public comment during the council meeting on the matter, but Councilman Kyle Richards said the council received several complaint letters.

“We hear them, and we don’t want to raise the rates any higher than we need to,” he said. “Several of the comment letters we got mentioned that this is going

to particularly affect people on limited incomes or fixed incomes specifically.

I hear that, and we’re very sympathetic to not wanting to pass an additional cost onto our residents than we have to. But unfortunately, that’s just what we have to cover in order to just break even with our recovery program.”

Councilman Roger Aceves echoed the discomfort with charging Goleta residents more, and he encouraged lobbying for fewer unfunded state mandates.

“We wouldn’t be doing this if we didn’t have so many doggone unfunded mandates from the state,” he said. “We have trouble trying to find how to pay for these mandates.”

However, the council commended its partnership with MarBorg Industries.

Mayor Paula Perotte said she has “no complaints” about the company’s work.

“What we’re actually being required to do are not bad things — they’re good things,” Mr. Richards said. “I know that Goleta loves our creeks and we love our clean environment, and we want our city to be as pristine and ecologically healthy as possible and this is going to help us get there.”

UCSB athletes have been named to the 2021 Big West Baseball All-Conference Team.

Rodney Boone was named Co-Pitcher of the Year. He is the first Gaucho to receive that honor.

The sophomore, who’s from Orange, struck out a Big West-leading 117 batters in 90 innings. His strikeout total ranks third in UCSB single-season history and eight short of the all-time record.

Jordan Sprinkle was named the Co-Freshman Field Player of the Year.

The shortstop, who’s from Palm Springs, led the Big West and ranked 16th in the country with 25 stolen bases.

Other UCSB players picked for the all-conference honors are Cole Cummings, Michael McGreevy (his second time on the team), Carter Benbrook, Christian Kirtley, Zach Rodriguez and Broc Mortensen. All are on the first team except Kirtley and Mortensen, who are both on the second team.

Honorable mentions went to UCSB players Marcos Castanon, Jason Willow and Cory Lewis.

The Department of Homeland Security has granted Juana Flores a humanitarian parole.

The action will allow Mrs. Flores, a Goleta resident who was deported two years ago to Mexico, to return to her Santa Barbara County family as soon as Friday. The parole will last one year.

U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, announced the action in a news release Wednesday afternoon.

Mrs. Flores was deported in April 2019 after living in the U.S. for more than 30 years.

She lived in Goleta with her husband, who’s a U.S. citizen, and she has 10 children and 18 grandchildren. One of her children, Sgt. Cesar Flores, is on active duty in the U.S. Air Force.

In January, the Flores family joined Rep. Carbajal for a virtual news conference to announce the reintroduction of the Protect Patriot Parents Act, which would ensure parents of active duty military personnel are not deported but are granted a pathway to legal status.

In March, Rep. Carbajal wrote Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, asking him to grant the Flores family’s request for humanitarian parole.

“Ahrlenny had this amazing ability to make us believe in ourselves.”

The dedication garnered a standing ovation and overwhelming applause.

Another student to take the podium, Alyssa Miller focused on the class’ strength amidst the

challenges. “(This past year) was, more than anything, a call to actions and catalysts for change. We are more than a class of graduating seniors; we are part of a generation that fully recognizes the results and injustices in our society,” Miss Miller said. “We are concerned about the future — possibly more than ever before — because we have seen such drastic change in this age of worry.”

The graduates were supported by loved ones, cheering with pom poms and posters, in the seats of Peabody Stadium.

ahead.

After the flag salute by Andrea Lising, the senior class singers belted out the National Anthem, followed by an intimate acoustic version of Hugh Jackman’s “From Now On,” which was met with boisterous applause, hoots, hollers and, surely, a tear or two.

The keynote speaker, San Marcos’ principal, Dr. Kip Glazer, had to wipe a few tears away herself as she approached the podium. She even had to stop after a couple words, saying the moment was “very emotional” for her.

However, she pushed on, much like she said the Class of 2021 did.

Dr. Glazer compared her graduating seniors to Frodo and Samwise from the classic “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, who were both chosen to save all of Middle Earth from evil.

“Toward the end of their challenging journey filled with extreme danger, tired and defeated, Frodo asked his friend Sam why they should go on,” Dr. Glazer said. “To that, Samwise answered, ‘It is like the great stories, Mr. Frodo — the ones that really mattered, full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes, you didn’t want to know the end, because how could the end be happy?

“But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass.’”

The principal told her students that Frodo and Samwise kept going because they were holding onto something. She said she felt similar fear when she was

asked to become principal of San Marcos two years ago — becoming the “pandemic principal.”

“I thought about turning back, but I remembered that there was a lot of good in this world. I knew San Marcos was something good that was worth fighting for, which I did,” Dr. Glazer said. “And I was right.”

The class was presented and diplomas were handed out, followed by Dr. Fann Wageneck, assistant superintendent of special education and student services, presenting the acceptance of the class.

The faculty sent off the San Marcos Class of 2021 into numerous fields — construction, culinary, entrepreneurship, health and teaching. Students earned their Bi-Literacy Seals, Golden State Seals and Principal’s Awards, and they were recognized for being involved in the National Honor Society and the California Scholarship Federation.

Dr. Glazer walked her students through the hardships they overcame as well, from finishing their junior year on Zoom to navigating hybrid learning — “... whatever that was,” she added.

“So the Class of 2021, I urge you to remember that you truly are the hero of your own epic story,” the principal told the seniors.

“Just like Frodo and Samwise, you are called upon to step up and fulfill your destiny. Their story ended when Frodo dropped the ring into the fire, while your epic story is just beginning.”

The San Marcos community gathered at Warkentin Stadium Wednesday evening celebrated more than just another class entering adult life — they celebrated an in-person event, with students spaced only three feet apart. They celebrated the nearing light, normalcy, at the end of the tunnel. Most importantly, they celebrated their students making it through every challenge thrown their way.

Dr. Glazer closed her speech saying, “You’re all my heroes for being here, and I’m so proud to be your principal. And this ceremony, this is for you. This is our way of expressing how much we love you and respect you as young adults.

“So let’s get you that diploma — you’ve earned it.” email: gmccormick@newspress.com

“While everyone’s high school experience is filled with ups and downs, nobody knew on that day that the next four years would be filled with such unanticipated challenges, heartbreaks and, excuse the pun, eclipsed memories,” Mr. Woodard said.

“From the devastating Thomas Fire, to the Montecito debris flow of your freshman year, to the tragic loss of your classmate and friend in February of your junior year, and of course a month later, the pandemic. Let’s be real; it cut short many senior moments.”

Despite these challenges, Mr. Woodard said the students are now leaving with “a new sense of appreciation for school,” which will forever be memorialized in a new tile mural that has been installed alongside two walls of the school’s exterior. Each senior contributed a tile to the mural and the school plans to install a plaque reminding future students to never take for granted their educational experience — a lesson that many students learned during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Multiple seniors took the stage to deliver words of encouragement and reflection to the graduating class. While looking back on fond memories and chuckling at inside jokes, the senior speakers congratulated the class on their resiliency during a challenging and unprecedented year.

“When we were told that we were the generation of change, I don’t think any of us could’ve imagined the type of change we would face today,” Senior Mikayla Ramirez said during her speech. “Remote learning, social distancing and wearing masks to stay safe — whoa. That was a lot for us to endure, but we proved once again that we as a whole are resilient and together.”

Seniors gather Wednesday at O’Leary Stadium for their commencement.

During her speech, senior Sydney Carlson discussed how the abnormalities of the pandemic helped her see life from new perspectives, causing her to empathize with those who faced discrimination based on their race, religion and ethnicity.

She encouraged students to use the lessons learned from the pandemic to bring about lasting change, particularly by continuing to educate themselves on issues facing society.

“In order to make significant, positive change to our world, people like me need to put in work, and become truly educated on issues that may not directly affect us,” Sydney said.

“Education means far more than just going to and from school.

Education requires stepping out of your comfort zone, putting in your own research, looking at society from different perspectives (and) asking unlimited questions.

Further educating ourselves will only give us the opportunity to

ARONSON, MaryAnn and Robert “Bob” MaryAnn Aronson died very peacefully at the age of 79 in Napa Valley, CA on May 5, 2021. She is survived by her children David Joel Sciuto (Montecito, CA), Esther Joy McEntire (St. Helena, CA), Micah Joseph Sciuto (Oahu, HI). Mary Ann was born Sept. 19, 1941, in Tullahoma, TN. She worked for the Credit Union of Santa Barbara, Store Manager Yost Appliance and Front Desk Manager SB Hotel Group (Inn by the Harbor). She raised three children with laughter, hugs and kisses, and the knowledge of Jehovah God Almighty. She would pray every night with her young children. She was an avid reader of the Bible starting at age 7 to her death at 79. She knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that she had found the truth of the Bible, the past, the present and the future promises of Jehovah God. She never missed a meeting at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses and truly loved her international brotherhood of true friends around the earth. She helped numerous people to learn about Jehovah and have faith in, true justice and true peace, to be found through God’s government.

She was very kind, patient, and had a contagious laugh. We lost an amazing woman in MaryAnn. We know that Jehovah will “heal the broken-hearted” as Psa. 147:3 states, and that there is no darkness too dark for Jehovah to Ànd us and comfort us. Like MaryAnn, her family strongly believes in the resurrection promise found in the Bible very soon to come on earth. (Rev. 21:3,4; Psa. 37:29) In 1984 she met the love of her life, Robert “Bob” Aronson and together they raised their children with a deep love for each other.

To learn more of this resurrection promise please go to JW.ORG. The website is in 1,032 languages.

MaryAnn’s zoom funeral will be held on Sat. June 5th @ 2PM. Robert “Bob” Aronson died peacefully at the age of 78 in Napa Valley, CA on Sept 6, 2020. He is survived by his children David Joel Sciuto, Esther Joy McEntire, Micah Joseph Sciuto, Debi Pizzo Greenwood (Lancaster, CA) Robert Greenwood (Valencia ,CA) Dove Harrington (Nipomo, CA). Bob was born in Chicago IL on Feb. 5, 1942. Bob served in the Vietnam war as a Field Hospital Medic. He was stationed in Fort Hamilton NY and Stuttgart Germany. After honorable discharge he opened Bob’s Mirrors in Chicago IL. Upon his arrival to Santa Barbara, he worked for the Santa Barbara News-Press, TMC phone sales and several insurance companies. Bob was raised in a Jewish and Lutheran home. With Bob’s religious background, and then serving as a medic for the military and being decorated as a marksman, he became disillusioned as to the God he thought he believed in. In 1972 he lost a daughter in death and repeatedly asked “If there is a God, why does he allow wickedness and grief?” After a knock on his door by Jehovah’s Witnesses he spent countless hours trying to disprove their beliefs. After an intense study of the Bible itself in Hebrew and Greek, with all his Bible translations lined up, he could not disprove the beliefs of Jehovah’s Witnesses or the promise the Bible holds out of a resurrection on earth. It Àlled the void in his heart when he knew he would see his daughter again in the resurrection, promised by God. (Titus 1:2) He was baptized that same year at the Ventura Fairgrounds. He passionately wanted all to know of God’s government that would bring true justice for all of mankind. He never missed meetings at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses and studied the Bible with many people with a passion for truth. He married the love of his life in MaryAnn and was a true romantic with cards, roses, and gifts for over 36 years. He truly was the best father we could ever have. We were so grateful for a spiritual loving father. He enjoyed going to LA Dodger games and Cubs games at Wrigley Field. He also loved the excitement of taking the kids grunion hunting and watching them surf at Ledbetter beach! We look forward to the time when he will be resurrected to a paradise earth, where he will see his reÁection in a lake and say, “I made it.” This was his dying wish.

Zoom funeral was held Oct. 3, 2020, with over 600 in attendance.

He was a dearly loved man.

Thank you to the hundreds of friends who have given such unending love and support to Bob, MaryAnn, and our entire family. Thank you for Hospice of Santa Barbara and Collabria Hospice Napa Valley, Alexander Gardens of Santa Barbara and St. Helena Home Care for their excellent caregiving skills and loving bedside manner. Thank you for the cards, the Áowers, the encouraging scriptures, the meals, and your genuine love.

We will never forget it.

MUELLER, Frances

Frances Mueller peacefully passed away at her home on May 25, 2021.

Frances was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana on February 2, 1923. She was the twelfth of thirteen children born to Dominic and Anna Gennuso. Frances was the Valedictorian of the 1940 graduating class from Lake Charles High School, where Frances actively participated in many clubs. She was a member of the Wildcat Staff which published the school paper, the National Honor Society, the French Club and the Girl Reserves, where she volunteered time for community service projects. She proudly marched with the Kilties at Lake Charles High School as a charter member of the Àrst all-girl drill team in Louisiana. The team was known for its fast-stepping precision drills, its unique drum cadences and tartan plaid uniforms. Frances also competed in the Louisiana State Rally in shorthand and typing.

She won Àrst place in the regionals in Lafayette and placed as a Ànalist in Baton Rouge.

During her Senior year at Lake Charles High School, she won the posture contest and was voted Most Intelligent.

After graduating from high school, Frances attended McNeese State University on scholarship where she studied secretarial sciences. While at McNeese, Frances participated in the Drama Club and the Newman Club, a Catholic faith-based organization. Frances also won the part of the lead character, Lucille, in the play “Hyacinth.”

Frances spent many years as an Executive Secretary working in medical, dental and insurance ofÀces. She also worked for Gulf Oil Company and the Lake Charles Water Company.

Frances met her soulmate, Joseph Mueller, in the Spring of 1957 when Joe was playing minor league baseball in Lake Charles. Introduced by Frances’ brother Sammy, the Sports Editor of the Lake Charles American Press, Joe and Frances quickly began what would become a three-year, long-distance courtship while Joe traveled the country playing baseball and completing his Master’s Degree at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. On August 18, 1960, Frances and Joe married in Las Vegas, Nevada and moved to San Luis Obispo, California where Joe was teaching and coaching at Morro Bay High School.

Frances and Joe later moved to Santa Barbara in 1965 when Joe accepted a teaching and coaching position at San Marcos High School. Santa Barbara became Frances’ home for the next 56 years.

Frances was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She was an excellent cook, and beloved by all who were fortunate to make her acquaintance for her quick wit and graciousness. She was deeply committed to her Catholic faith and will be profoundly missed by friends, family and all who knew her.

Frances is survived by her husband Joe of 60 years, children Ron Rollosson, Jane Wagner and Anna Mueller-Ellis (Scott), grandchildren Justin Wagner, Johanna Wagner Raum (Mike), Ethan Ellis and Parker Ellis and numerous nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by twelve siblings and her parents.

create a more fair and equitable society. This is the change we should all want to make.”

As four years at Dos Pueblos drew to close Wednesday night, Mr. Woodard encouraged students to relish the moment and the accomplishment of graduating.

“Because you persevered, because you sacrificed, because you kept hope, because you were inventive and solutionoriented and, most importantly, because you were more solutionoriented than we could have ever imagined, you are here today,” Mr. Woodard said. “And may that resourcefulness, that ability to confront challenges and persevere and that example of the DPHS community rallying together to problem solve, be remembered by you and your generation as you confront challenges ahead — climate change, social and racial justice (and) building a stronger, more sustainable society.”

The smart helicopter on Mars

Flavor Rosa Pluots The season for pluots is officially under way, with this early season variety looking exceptional this year.

They’re grown, harvested and sold by Burkdoll Farms out of the Visalia area. You can expect to find this deep purple skinned and red fleshed fruit at all weekly Santa Barbara certified farmers’ markets.

This plum and apricot hybrid is quite reminiscent of the Santa Rosa plum, which is renowned for its dynamic flavor.

This week I incorporated them into a salad with walnuts, fresh basil and mozzarella cheese, the Fix of the Week on B2. As fresh as they come, these Flavor Rosa Pluots start at $3.50 per pound, with discounts on bulk purchases.

The Perseverance rover and its companion, the 19-inch high helicopter called Ingenuity, are making history together on Mars. Both were named by students as part of an essay contest. (This is an artist’s concept of them together; Ingenuity is in the front.)

t was long before the pandemic — May 19, 2019, to be exact — and fans of outer space were looking up and beyond to Mars.

Ensemble Theatre Company announces 2021-22 season

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Ensemble Theatre Company is ready to go back on stage.

The longtime Santa Barbara troupe has announced its 2021-22 season, the first one with plays in front of an in-house audience since the start of the pandemic.

The five-play season will start in October at The New Vic, 33 W.

open house, a JPL engineer was all smiles as she talked to us while we waited in line outside a building and a large room that is kept clean of any particles.

We would go upstairs and look through the clean room’s window at the craft.

Outside the building, the engineer raved about what the spacecraft would carry: Mars’ first helicopter.

In fact, it would be humanity’s first helicopter on any planet

beyond Earth.

The helicopter, named Ingenuity, was on the belly of the Perseverance rover, which has roamed over Mars since landing on Feb. 18 in the Jezero Crater.

On April 3, the rover released the helicopter.

The 19-inch high craft, which is equipped with computers and navigation sensors, has completed its technology demonstration after three successful flights.

For its first flight on April 19,

Ingenuity climbed to about 10 feet, hovered in the air, made a turn and landed.

And the helicopter, which is equipped with one color camera and one black-and-white camera, got a shot of Perseverance during its flights from 16 feet in the air and 279 feet away.

Ingenuity is transitioning to its operations demonstration stage to explore what helicopters and rovers can do together.

JPL noted Ingenuity and other

future helicopters on Mars could provide views not provided by the current orbiters far above Mars or by rovers and landers on the ground. The aircraft could provide high-definition images and reconnaissance for robots or humans. They might even carry light but important payloads from one site to another.

And a helicopter can go where rovers can’t.

Ensemble Theatre Company has announced its 2021-22 season for in-person audiences. The five plays are “Tenderly,” The Wickhams,” “Carmen Jones,” ‘American Son” and “Sleuth.”

Victoria St. The first play is “Tenderly,” a musical about movie star Rosemary Clooney. Linda Purl returns to ETC as Ms. Clooney, known for movies such as “White Christmas” (1954). Ms. Pearl is joined by Broadway performer Jason Graae.

For the holidays, Jane Austen meets “Downton Abbey” in “The Wickhams,” the second

installment of the “Christmas at Pemberley” trilogy. Darcy, Lizzie and Lydia, three characters from “Pride and Prejudice,” will appear in a story about the servants’ goingson below.

In February 2022, ETC will perform “Carmen Jones,” Oscar Hammerstein’s jazz/musical adaptation of Bizet’s “Carmen.”

The production will be

followed by ETC’s long-delayed performance of “American Son,” a play about the intersection of racism and the police. ETC had to cancel the production last year because of the pandemic.

The season will end with “Sleuth,” a comic thriller starring Santa Barbara favorite John Tufts.

The theater company noted in a news release that it has

improved The New Vic to ensure the audience’s safety. The work included upgrades to the HVAC system, which now brings in 40% outside air.

Season subscriptions will go on sale in mid-June. ETC said it will announce more details later.

These first summer green beans are young, tender, mildly sweet and crisp. They’re currently available from several local farmers at all of our weekly Santa Barbara Certified farmers’ markets.

Green beans tend to retain the highest concentration of their natural vitamins, most notably vitamins A and C, when enjoyed raw. They’re an excellent source of dietary fiber.

You can incorporate them into a bean salad, green bean casserole or stir-fry. Certified organic are available.

Price averages $5 per pound for the early harvest. You can expect prices to drop as supply increases throughout the season.

Chickpea flatbread/farinata This chickpea flatbread, produced from the Baba Small Batch annual garbanzo bean harvest, is available in three flavors: original, sun-dried tomato and basil, as well as spicy harissa and rosemary.

They’re the perfect accompaniment to the dozenplus hummus offerings.

I find this flatbread most enjoyable when preheated in the oven, then enjoyed with a spread of hummus and topped with sliced cucumber, tomato and red onion.

This healthy wheat-free bread option can be found at the weekly Saturday Santa Barbara, Sunday Camino Real and Tuesday Santa Barbara farmers’ markets. Price is $7 per 5 round package, or 3 for $18. You can mix and match their hummus with the threeunit deal.

his past week, I took the family on a quick trip up to the Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks.

As we made the drive through the prolific stone fruit, citrus and nut growing regions of the Central Valley, it is quite evident why this is such a major U.S. agricultural sector for such crops.

You see trees lining the roadways, row after row, ranging in size from the giant walnut trees that are likely decades old to the tiny peach trees just planted this year.

Before heading to the parks, we had the privilege of being able to stop by one of these farms in the Visalia area, harvesting fresh Brooks and Rainier cherries right off the trees. It was quite the experience for my 4- and 7-year-old, one they will always remember.

As the assortment of wonderful stone fruit continues to roll in, in addition to the cherries, peaches, nectarines and apricots, you’ll find the first pluots of the season. These plum and apricot hybrid stone fruits come in an array of sizes, color combinations, flavors and textures, depending on the type of plum

Author to discuss ‘Not Yo’ Butterfly’ Nobuko Miyamoto will discuss her book “Not Yo’ Butterfly: My Long Song of Relocation, Race, Love, and Revolution” with UCSB professors Diane C. Fujino and George Lipsitz at 7 p.m. June 22.

Chaucer’s Books is hosting the free virtual program.

To watch it, go to zoom. us/j/99118141045.

Ms. Miyamoto is an artist, activist and mother. Her book begins with her experiences as a Japanese American child navigating a fearful West Coast during World War II. She later

writes about her turn toward activism as an Asian American troubadour with the release of “A Grain of Sand,” considered to be the first Asian American folk album.

Chaucer’s Books noted that Ms. Miyamoto has dedicated herself to creating an antiracist body of work and a blueprint for empathy through community art.

JPL

Continued from Page B1 So far, Ingenuity is doing well for a pioneering spacecraft on another planet. It has flown around 4 miles per hour and gone distances such as half a football field, according to media reports.

JPL described Ingenuity as a 4-pound craft designed for experimental flight tests. It isn’t carrying any science instruments.

It’s on Mars to demonstrate rotorcraft flight in a very thin atmosphere.

JPL explained further that Ingenuity is “the first aircraft humanity has sent to another planet to attempt powered, controlled flight.”

And JPL has compared Ingenuity to the Wright brothers’ Flyer.

That’s a lot of pressure for any pioneer, but Ingenuity has proven it’s up to the task.

After all, it was designed to succeed. JPL noted the rotor blades are light and are much larger and spin much faster than what would be required for a helicopter of the same mass on Earth.

And Ingenuity gets some help from Mars, where the gravity is about one-third of that on Earth.

What’s more, Ingenuity can think for itself.

JPL designed the helicopter to make some of its own decisions, based on parameters set by engineers on Earth. During its flight, Ingenuity has analyzed sensor data and images of the terrain to make sure it stays on its flight path, which was programmed by project engineers.

and apricot that are crossed, with dozens of varieties to choose from throughout the late spring into the fall seasons.

One of my favorites to emerge each year is the early season Flavor Rosa Pluot from Visalia-based Burkdoll Farms.

Pluots are ideal for just eating as they come, but they’re also quite delicious in a fruit salad.

The tangy sweet flavor pairs quite nicely with the seasonal berries and other fruit readily available this time of year.

It is also a nice variety for those looking to prepare a homemade plum-style preserve.

This week I tossed my sliced Flavor Rosa Pluots with fresh basil, fresh mozzarella cheese and walnuts for a delicious simple salad. I drizzle the dish with a little aged balsamic vinegar and a little good quality olive oil to tie it all together. This salad is excellent as part of a summer barbecue.

This is the spacecraft that took Perseverance and Ingenuity to Mars. It’s seen through a window of a clean room in May 2019 at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the Pasadena area.

It’s an exciting time for fans of helicopters on Mars and of JPL in general. NASA hasn’t announced when JPL could resume its free, annual open houses, which became so popular that you needed to reserve a time slot in advance.

But this writer can tell you, based on going to many of the open houses, that the JPL open house is the best way to explore the solar system and the galaxy in a single day. email: dmason@newspress.com

Diversions horoscope • puzzles

Horoscope.com Thursday, June 3, 2021

ARIES — Aries, you can expect the day to be a bit bumpy.

If you were an Olympic athlete, today you’d be standing at the starting line, wondering if you had trained enough for a topnotch performance. Have you had enough practice? Will you make the grade? Issues related to your material resources will certainly be on the agenda.

TAURUS — A planetary configuration like today’s often makes people afraid to start anything that challenges the status quo. This is true for you in your professional life. You should dare to take on more responsibility. The aspects speak of fear only, not of being incapable of succeeding. The saying about fear being the only thing to fear is something you should take to heart right now, Taurus.

GEMINI — Gemini, today’s your chance to stand up to family members who want to exert too much control over your love life.

It’s time to bang your fist on the table and say, “Enough’s enough, I’ll love who I want to.” When you insist that well-meaning relatives respect your choices, you’ll tap into a new well of self-respect.

CANCER — It’s up to you to strut your stuff, Cancer. As long as you’re bashful about showcasing your innate gifts, it will be difficult to find meaning in your life. Today’s planetary alignment gives you the challenge to take your talents more seriously. You could easily profit from them, provided you look deep inside to discover how.

LEO — You don’t have to answer to society’s cultural values, Leo. If most of your work is organized around an activity that’s considered fashionable, you will never succeed in feeling good about yourself or your creations. You’re too motivated by meaningful activities to spend your time with frivolous ones.

Today’s aspects will push you to cut yourself off from all that doesn’t resonate deeply.

VIRGO — You may have noticed for some time now to what an extent your ambitions wear you out and to what point they have become outdated. If you aspire to live an ambitious life, but also one that is calmer and more balanced, the celestial energy is indicating the moment has come to make some important decisions, Virgo. 16, 2015 Monday, November LIBRA — Are you hesitating,

Libra? Do you feel caught between the desire to participate fully in the world and the equally strong desire to remain in your dream world, even at the risk of feeling a little out of it? Who says that these two worlds are incompatible? If you look closely, you will see that you don’t need to choose one or the other.

SCORPIO — You can expect to have to make a choice today related to your intimate relationships. You may have become aware that something is missing, either in your partner or yourself. Today you will act on that awareness, but it may not be easy. The root of the problem could be an issue of independence and self-sufficiency. Try to figure out the source of the problem before acting on it, Scorpio.

SAGITTARIUS — You’re being called upon to make a commitment or promise, most likely relating to your love life.

Will you take that decisive step? That’s the question today.

Over the next few days you will doubtless have to prove what you’re made of. The challenge most likely emanates from your romantic relationships. There is no running away this time, Sagittarius. It’s time to take a stand.

CAPRICORN — There are times in your love life when you may feel somewhat inhibited, as though something is holding you back from total fulfillment.

Perhaps the emotions overwhelm you or the idea of commitment frightens you. In any case, Capricorn, you’re well aware that your reluctance to take the plunge is detrimental to your relationship. The day will call on you to take a few more risks.

AQUARIUS — The forecast today is stormy. You may have sensed that there was some tension clouding the conversation at home. Resentments were left unsaid and subtle power games were played without resolution. Today, Aquarius, it all becomes too unbearable for you.

Regardless of the risks involved, you will take measures to clear things up.

PISCES — The day is likely to be somewhat challenging, and it contains some disappointments.

You’re liable to feel dejected if you receive a lackluster response from the world. Apparently, Pisces, your performance has lost some of its ability to captivate an audience. Whether you accept this or try to shine up your act is the question of the day!

CODEWORD PUZZLE

SUDOKU

Thought for Today

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.
