Starting in May, Santa Barbara restaurants with dining parklets will have to pay a fee for the privilege of expanding their business outdoors.

The goal of the fee is to fully recover the city’s costs of cleaning, maintaining and operating the downtown promenade.

The variable rate fee structure, approved Thursday by the Santa Barbara City Council, will give restaurateurs the option of lowering their cost from $5 or more per square foot based on modifications they make to their parklets — like removing their platforms and/ or roofs and/or making them portable.

Back to dry weather Storms lead reservoirs to approach or exceed capacity; more high surf ahead

By NEIL HARTSTEIN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The forecast calls for dry weather and cool temperatures over the next several days, and the county’s reservoirs are near or over capacity, with Lake Cachuma reaching 89.4% of capacity.

But residents are being advised to watch out for coastal flooding due to high surf and tides despite the good news of sunny skies ahead.

“The main thing is surf conditions and coastal flooding,” Kristen Stewart, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service-Los Angeles/Oxnard, told the News-Press Monday.

The county should see large waves this week — 4 to 7 feet along the South Coast and 8 to 14 feet along the Central Coast — plus higher tides due to the new moon where “the water level goes higher up on the beach,” she said. “There might be flooding of some beach parking lots.”

As a result, the NWS has issued a flood advisory for “nuisance flooding” in urban

(The Center Square) – Leading Republican lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives filed new legislation that would ban federal employees from working with big tech companies to censor Americans.

The bill comes as ongoing reports show that federal law enforcement and the White House have regularly communicated with social media companies like Facebook and Twitter, pressuring the companies to remove posts and accounts for a range of issues, including questioning the COVID-19 vaccine.

“The collusion between bureaucrats and Big Tech has gone on for far too long.

Government agencies shouldn’t censor the free speech of Americans,” said Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who is helping lead the effort. “The Protecting Speech from Government Interference Act is an important first step toward transparency and accountability for Biden’s bureaucrats and Big Tech.”

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. raised one important question for everyone to consider throughout their lives.

“What are you doing for others?”

The civil rights leader’s question — and his challenge to be better, to do better — was emphasized during a nearly two-hour celebration on Martin Luther King Day at the Arlington Theatre.

“King said in 1967, ‘God needs men and women who ask, ‘What will happen to humanity if I don’t help?’” said keynote speaker Daina Ramey Berry, the Michael Douglas Dean of Humanities and Fine Arts at UCSB. Dr. Berry said people need to ask themselves what will happen to the civil rights movement if people don’t participate, to communities if citizens don’t vote or to the sick if others don’t visit them.

“My call for the city of Santa Barbara is to do more for others,” Dr. Berry said. “Random acts of kindness. Pay someone’s parking or meal.

“Hold the door open for someone behind you. Believe it or not, people don’t always do that,” Dr. Berry said. “Spend time with the elderly. Reach out to

The already saturated Santa Barbara County received even more rain over the weekend.

Mark Hartwig, chief of the Santa Barbara County Fire Department, noted that as much debris as possible was removed from the debris basins in advance of the rain. He also said state funding assisted with the storm-related costs.

One challenge was the short period between the Jan. 9-10 storm and the less severe one that struck over the weekend.

“Our preference would have been to clear the debris basins and fix all the roads” before additional rain fell, Chief Hartwig told the News-Press on

The county’s emergency operations center, however, was taking no chances Saturday, warning residents that with the heavy rains from recent storms, the creeks and rivers of Santa Barbara County were flowing at a high level.

“While our creeks often appear tranquil, they carry a deadly force,” officials said.

“Don’t underestimate the power of moving water that can cause injuries and deaths. Be prepared and aware.”

Keeping this in mind, the forecast still looks good for the rest of the week going into the weekend, Ms. Stewart said.

“It looks a lot more quiet” as compared to last week’s huge storm that dumped 5 inches of rain in Santa Barbara and 12-18 inches of rain in the mountains, she said.

TRAFFIC, CRIME AND FIRE BLOTTER Kayakers rescued near Del Playa ISLA VISTA — Santa Barbara County Fire Department water rescue personnel responded Monday to a report at 5:17 p.m. that a kayak carrying two male college-age subjects had flipped in the surf near Del Playa, between Camino Quarto and Camino Del Sur. They reportedly were wearing wetsuits but no life jackets.

Rescue swimmers and one rescue watercraft responded.

One of the subjects was retrieved by a rescue swimmer at Camino Del Sur and safely returned to the beach. The other was assisted to shore, along with the kayak, by a shore crew at Camino Corto.

No injuries were reported, and a rescue helicopter and ambulance were canceled.

“We train for days like this to save a life, but … distressed swimmers/kayakers are hard to find in the dark with storm surf,” Capt. Scott Safechuck, the SBC’s public information officer, said.

“We are thankful that no one is injured or worse.”

Historic tree falls, damages car LOMPOC — No one was injured

but a car was damaged Sunday when one of the historic stone pine trees fell in the 200 block of South H Street.

The tree fell about 10 a.m., and is believed to have been caused by water-saturated ground after the recent storms.

City of Lompoc Urban Forestry crews and the city streets division finished cleaning up the tree Sunday afternoon.

Urban Forestry Supervisor Sean O’Neil said, “So much rain in a short time can soften the ground, and in turn makes it difficult for the root system to sustain a large tree.”

He added that the trees are due to be inspected by a consulting arborist this year, which will now happen as soon as possible.

City urban forestry crews are inspecting the other stone pines for signs of storm damage.

Mr. O’Neil noted that trees can fall even with the best of care, and encouraged the public to use caution around all trees, especially during stormy weather.

“If anyone sees or hears anything that causes concern with a City of Lompoc tree, please don’t hesitate to contact us so we can take a look,” he said.

Goleta police to conduct traffic safety operation GOLETA — The Goleta Police Department will conduct a traffic safety operation today from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. focused on the most dangerous driver behaviors that put the safety of people biking or walking at risk.

These violations include speeding, making illegal turns, failing to yield or provide right of way to bicyclists or pedestrians, or failing to stop for signs and signals.

“Cars aren’t the only ones who use our roads,” Traffic Supervisor Sergeant Noel Rivas said. “Bicyclists and pedestrians have the same rights but face even more risk without the protections vehicles have. Please be cautious.”

The Goleta Police Department offers steps that drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists can take to greatly reduce the risk of getting injured or in a crash: Pedestrians are urged to be predictable and use crosswalks, when available.

Take notice of approaching vehicles and practice due care.

Do not walk or run into the path of a vehicle. At 30 mph, a driver needs at least 90 feet to stop.

Be visible. Make it easy for

drivers to see you – wear light colors, reflective material and carry a flashlight, particularly at dawn, dusk or at night.

Be extra careful crossing streets or entering crosswalks at night when it is harder to see, or when crossing busier streets with more lanes and higher speed limits.

Drivers are urged to follow the speed limit and slow down at intersections, and to be prepared to stop for pedestrians at marked and unmarked crosswalks.

Avoid blocking crosswalks while waiting to make a right-hand turn.

Never drive impaired.

Bicyclists are urged to obey traffic laws, use hand signals, use lights at night (front white light and rear red reflector) and wear a helmet.

Bicyclists must travel in the same direction of traffic and have the same requirements as any slow-moving vehicle.

Avoid the door zone: do not ride too closely to parked cars.

If there’s a bike lane, use it unless making a left turn, passing or approaching a place where a right turn is allowed.

Yield to pedestrians. Bicyclists must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians within marked crosswalks or within unmarked crosswalks at intersections.

Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

County Fire chief: ‘Seeing the debris basins do their job is impressive’ WEEKEND

news conference Friday at the basin.

“Each member of the National Guard that has been deployed to the Randall Road Debris Basin has left their family and homes so they can help us protect ours,” said 1st District Supervisor Das Williams. “I want to thank every one of them for their service and helping keep residents and visitors to the Montecito community safe.”

Chief Hartwig said the debris basins last week did what they were supposed to do.

“Seeing the debris basins do their job is

impressive, but when they are full, they are much less effective.”

Chief Hartwig said that during the Jan. 9-10 storm, there were six hoist-by-air rescues and more than 400 water-related calls for service.

“The (fire) departments work together from Carpinteria to Santa Maria,” he said.

“We have an all-hazard incident management team designed to take everybody from every department and law enforcement and form a multidisciplinary, jurisdictional plan and execution, which is rare. I haven’t seen that coming from a much larger county. We have a Unified Command Group with all the chiefs. …

“I always say we hope you don’t need our

full capability of rescue, but we are ready from Carpinteria to Santa Maria.”

During last weekend’s storm, Santa Barbara County operated emergency shelters where people could stay overnight if necessary: the Red Cross center at Solvang Veterans Memorial Hall in Solvang and the Wake Center in Santa Barbara. There were also local assistance centers in Orcutt and Guadalupe.

And on Friday, Los Padres National Forest closed. The park is scheduled to remain closed for until noon March 14 “to provide for public health and safety,” according to a news release. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

Public Works announces closure of Goleta Beach Park and assistance resources are available to the community through readysbc.org.

This online location of resources serves as a single point of access for essential resources and services available for residents who are beginning the process of rebuilding and recovery, following the storm’s impact.

In addition to online resources, a physical one-stop shop local assistance center was opened for a third consecutive day on Monday in Guadalupe and Orcutt.

Clean-up kits for those impacted by the January storms were available at the Local Assistance Centers. Resources from various local, state and federal agencies are available through the LAC, aimed at providing answers to commonly-asked questions and providing important information.

Linkage to counseling and emotional support, resource assistance and other information is available to aid in rebuilding, permitting, hazardous materials clean-up, housing assistance, loss of business or employment, basic health and human services, and many other topics.

Partnership,” House Oversight Committee said in its letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary ​​Alejandro Mayorkas. “The EIP provides an online complaint-processing platform that permits groups – including the Democratic National Committee on at least four occasions – to submit ‘tickets’ reporting narratives they flagged for concerns. “‘Tickets’ were frequently resolved by taking one of several actions: 1) banning the user from posting his or her lawful speech or deplatforming the individual entirely, 2) algorithmically restricting the reach of the speech on the platform, or 3) adding other information, such as a warning label, to the post alerting users to the post’s disfavored status,” the letter added.

The White House has downplayed the portal, but former Press Secretary Jen Psaki admitted the White House had a hand in regulating information.

“We are in regular touch with the social media platforms and those engagements typically happen through members of our senior staff and also members of our COVID19 team, given as Dr. Murthy conveyed, this is a big issue of misinformation specifically on the pandemic,” Ms. Psaki said at a press briefing in July of last year, referring to the U.S. surgeon general, Dr. Vivk Murthy.

For violators, the bill uses the same penalties for violations of the Hatch Act, which can include removal, fines, or a reduction in pay. The bill singles out high level officials, banning them from personally advocating for this kind of censorship.

The House now has a Republicans majority, emboldening those lawmakers. However, their legislation will still have a tough time in the divided Senate and faces a potential veto from President Joe Biden.

That legislation, though, can give a window into what action Republicans will take if they win the White House and Senate in 2024.

“The actions taken by the Biden administration to pressure Big Tech to censor content online are an attack on our fundamental right to free speech,” said Energy and Commerce Committee Chair McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., who is also helping lead the effort. “It’s time for this behavior to end.”

The legislative proposal comes alongside

an investigation from the House Oversight Committee, which is digging into federal law enforcement and the White House’s work with these companies.

One particular instance of censorship has rallied opposition to tech companies controlling information on their platforms.

Billionaire and new owner of Twitter Elon Musk has authorized a series of document dumps called the “Twitter files” which helped expose more details about the tech companies’ collusion with federal law enforcement and the Democratic Party behind the scenes to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story before the 2020 election.

So far, the “Twitter files” have featured most notably internal communications between top Twitter executives, the Biden administration and federal law enforcement.

Last year, the Oversight Committee launched an investigation into the Department of Homeland Security after news broke that Facebook had an online portal where federal law enforcement could flag content that it wanted removed. The Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency reportedly relied heavily on the portal, flagging posts to be removed.

“This effort began after CISA partnered with left-leaning organizations and Big Tech companies to launch the Election Integrity

The weekend, she said, should be “mostly sunny and cooler.”

The two small storms that hit the county Friday into Saturday, and Sunday into Monday, were nothing like the massive storm Jan. 9 and 10 that caused creek and urban flooding and debris flow, and led to the evacuation of Montecito residents.

“They were definitely a notch or two weaker than the last one,” Ms. Stewart said. They were similar in terms of high winds and surf, “but there was a lot less rain.”

Nevertheless, the weekend’s storm did increase the inch count for rain.

The city of Santa Barbara got 2.73 inches of rain; UCSB, 1.82 inches; Goleta Fire Station, 2.20 inches; northern Santa Maria, 1.82 inches, Santa Maria Airport, 1.5 inches; Lompoc, 1.59 inches; Santa Ynez, 2.33 inches; Montecito, 2.33 inches; and Carpinteria, 1.39 inches.

And the weekend’s rain did help continue to fill the county’s water reservoirs besides Lake Cachuma. As of Monday, the Gibraltar reservoir was at 100.7% of capacity, the Jameson reservoir was at 101.2% and the Twitchell Reservoir was at 30.6%.

Large rocks and debris from basins below the Cave and Thomas Fire burn areas will be sorted from the basin material before it is transferred to the beach.

Santa Barbara County proclaimed a local emergency on Jan. 9 due to the January 2023 storm impacts. Goleta Beach Park is an active emergency response site under this declaration and state and federal emergency declarations. Beach nourishment operations are conducted through emergency permits from state and federal agencies.

Flood Control staff will take sediment samples from the debris basins and ocean water samples during operations.

Weekly reports with information on sediment sampling results are sent to regulatory agencies. Beach nourishment operations have also protected Goleta Beach Park from further erosion by creating a wide shore near, and adjacent to, the location of the sediment deposit.

For public safety, access to the Obern Trail path will be open to commuters. People are asked not to use the path for recreational use. Commuters should not stop for any reason as they traverse the trail within the park.

In addition, the County Office of Emergency Management announced Monday that recovery

Even as county officials announced Monday that work was continuing to clean up from the recent storms, Caltrans was taking no chances when it comes to warning motorists of hazardous road conditions.

On Highway 101, southbound traffic was reduced to one lane six miles south of Santa Maria at Clark Avenue due to flooding.

State Route 154 was closed from 2.3 miles east to 2.8 miles east of the junction with Highway 101 in Los Olivos due to emergency repairs. The highway was closed from the junction of State Route 192 to the junction of State Route 246 due to flooding. In both cases, motorists were advised to take alternative routes.

Regarding the clean up, the Santa Barbara County Public Works Department announced Monday that it has closed public access to Goleta Beach Park at Sandspit Road due to emergency beach nourishment operations.

Operations began Jan. 11 and will continue as needed until facilities have been cleared. Work will occur 24 hours a day, seven days a week for approximately the first 10 days. This will help to complete the process sooner, protect the communities below impacted basins and minimize beach closures, according to the county.

UCSB men’s basketball drops nail-biter to highlanders

By KRISTEN KELLER UCSB SPORTS

After 15 days on the road, the UCSB men’s basketball team (133, 4-1 Big West) were back in The Thunderdome as they took on the Highlanders of UC Riverside.

After two halves of play and coming down to the final seconds, it was the Highlanders who left The Thunderdome with the win, squeezing out a 65-64 win over the Gauchos.

HOW IT HAPPENED The Gauchos put themselves on the board first, taking an early lead in the first half of play before eventually relinquishing the lead to th Highlanders.

Leading the scoring in the first half were seniors Josh PierreLouis and Miles Norris. The duo scored seven points apiece with Pierre-Louis shooting at a 60 percent clip. Norris also helped in

other areas of the game, grabbing three boards while blocking one shot.

The Highlanders continued to grow their lead once the second half began, growing it to 11 at one point. But in the final four minutes, the Gauchos made their final push, going on a 14-2 run to close the gap. It came down to the final second of this Big West battle for a winner to be decided.

Despite the final push, the Highlanders came out on top as the Gauchos lost 65-64.

Westmont women’s basketball claims 15th win

By RON SMITH WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

For the second game in a row, #5 Westmont Women’s Basketball (15-1, 8-1 GSAC) saw all 10 available players score in the Warriors’ 89-50 Golden State Athletic Conference win over San Diego Christian (5-13, 1-8).

Stefanie Berberabe went nine of 12 from the floor and three for three from the charity stripe to lead the Warriors with 22 points. Berberabe, who now has 1,523 career points, needs just 15 more to tie Lauren McCoy (2014-18) as the Warriors all-time leading scorer. Berberabe also tallied five assists and four steals.

Freshman Paula Graichen added 16 points for the Warriors on seven-of-eight shooting. She also pulled down seven rebounds including three from the offensive glass.

Fellow freshmen Sage Kramer and Isabella Pearson produced 12 points each. Kramer recorded her second collegiate double-double by collecting 10 rebounds. She also dished off four assists. Pearson went four of seven from three-point range to score her dozen points while also notching two assists and two steals.

Laila Saenz (7 points, 3 rebounds) scored the first

two points 50 seconds into the game and the Warriors never relinquished the lead. At the end of the first quarter, Westmont led 19-11. Berberabe set the tone in the opening frame, making four for six field goal attempts.

In the second quarter, Berberabe went four of four from the field as the Warriors tallied 29 points while holding the Hawks to 11 once more.

Westmont pressed its advantage in the second half, outscoring San Diego Christian 43-28 to close out the game. Kramer made three of three in the third quarter to lead Westmont with six points. Pearson hit three of her triples in the final frame to tally nine points.

The game brought the first half of GSAC play to an end with the Warriors tied for first place with the Royals of Hope International (15-3, 8-1). Westmont will start the second journey through the GSAC with a trip to Arizona next week. On Thursday, the Warriors will take on the Spirit of Ottawa (5-12, 1-8).

Then on Saturday the Warriors will match-up with the Firestorm of Arizona Christian (8-10, 4-5).

‘Some of King’s dreams have been realized, and other parts have not yet materialized’ MLK

Continued from Page A1 presented by the Martin Luther King Committee of Santa Barbara Those entering the Arlington Theatre were greeted with smiles and enthusiastic “good mornings” by volunteers, and the good vibrations continued with inspirational gospel music and other entertainment.

The audience filled up a third or so of the theater’s 2,000 seats, and they enthusiastically applauded the speakers’ key points and clapped to the music.

Miriam Dance, Shirley Hammons and Michelle Jarvis sang selections such as “Lift Every Voice and Sing” and “Expect Your Miracle,” accompanied by keyboardist John Douglas.

Ms. Dance, a singer-songwriter and director of theater at the Riviera Ridge School and Bishop Diego High School, poured her soul into the song, “Remedy.”

The beat could not have been more solid as Sese Ntem and Ewe Drummers of Ghana performed.

And Mariano Silva, a master of the Afro-Brazilian martial art of Capoeira, and others performed the kinetic martial art before an impressed audience.

In addition, awards were presented to youths of various ages who won for their essays and poetry honoring the principles of Dr. King. Two of the first-place winners read their essays.

Michelle Jarvis and Miriam Dance sing “Expect Your Miracle.”

ROZ” on KCSB-FM — emceed the program with a smile, some humor and statements about how she felt inspired by the speakers of all ages.

Speakers praised Dr. King and his emphasis on nonviolent protest to achieve dramatic changes in society, even in the face of those who threatened and assaulted the protesters in the South in the 1960s.

Dr. Berry cited the peaceful march from Selma to a bridge in Montgomery, Ala., where state troopers beat up the nonviolent protesters marching with Dr. King.

She said that even in the face of such danger, Dr. King told others of the importance of standing up for what is right and true, preaching, “We’re going to stand up amid anything that they muster

up, letting the world know we are determined to be free.”

Sen. Monique Limón, D-Santa Barbara, reminded the audience of Dr. King’s work to secure the rights and freedom for those who faced oppression. “We pay tribute to his principles: love, justice, inclusion and respect. It’s also a reminder that we have the power to fulfill that vision, to work and live in a community, state and nation free of discrimination.”

Sen. Limón emphasized the importance of working on issues such as access to health care, education and economic security.

“Dr. King taught us that together we can make progress. Today, more than ever, let us join forces and work together on a mission of inclusion and justice for all.”

Other speakers included U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal and Assemblymember Gregg Hart, both D-Santa Barbara, and Santa Barbara Mayor Randy Rowse.

Dr. Berry reminded the audience of Dr. King’s “I Have A Dream Speech” and his vision of his world where children “would not be judged by the color of their skin but the content of their character.”

“Some of King’s dreams have been realized, and other parts have not yet materialized,” Dr. Berry said. “However, the fact is his speech is still relevant. …

“He believed in unity, harmony and racial equality,” Dr. Berry said. “He stood for justice and was an advocate for the poor.” email: dmason@newspress.com

Rowse: ‘Anything short of full recovery is irresponsible on our part’ PARKLETS

Continued from Page A1

allows businesses to determine the rate they pay based on what they are going to put outside,” Brian Bosse, the city’s downtown team manager, told the council. “It gives them the opportunity to design what they want based on their needs.”

The council directed staff to return to the council with a resolution to amend the city’s fee schedule to allow for the variable design rates, with a start date of this May for implementation.

Mr. Bosse told the council that options presented by staff would fully cover the city’s costs related to cleanup, maintenance and operations from the 400 block to the 1300 block of State Street. It would include the cost of enforcing the license agreement each restaurant would have to sign.

The city’s costs for fiscal 2023, just over $515,000, are already covered, but staff projects they will increase to $675,000 in fiscal 2024. The variable rate structure the council approved is expected to bring in $650,000 in revenue. Staff anticipates there will be an attrition rate of 25% for businesses opting to not pay any fees and remove their parklets.

Councilmember Eric Friedman strongly endorsed this proposal, as opposed to an option that all restaurants pay the same uniform price to keep their parklets without the option of reducing their costs by meeting the city’s preferred design guidelines.

“We need to adopt something, and we need to do it today,” he said.

Those restaurants that refuse to make changes to their existing parklets would have to pay $5 per square foot and more if they extend beyond their storefront, but with the variable rate structure, “that can go as low as $3,” he said.

“It’s the nonconforming structures that would be at the higher rate,” he said.

Councilmember Friedman’s motion to approve the variable rate structure was backed by Councilmembers Mike Jordan and Alejandra Gutierrez. Mayor Randy Rowse, Mayor Pro Tempore Meagan Harmon and Councilmember Oscar Gutierrez opposed the motion.

With Councilmember Kristen Sneddon absent, the vote ended in a 3-3 tie.

Mayor Rowse objected to both options and

the multiple rates each contained, likening the process of choosing one to being on a game show.

Councilmembers Harmon and Oscar Gutierrez wanted to continue the matter to a regularly scheduled council meeting versus voting on it during Thursday’s special session in the David Gebhard Public Meeting Room on Garden Street.

Both wanted to allow for more public input, especially from restaurateurs.

“We want to make sure everyone has the opportunity to comment,” Ms. Harmon said.

“It’s such an important topic to the future and vitality to State Street, we need to have stakeholders present and commenting,” he added.

But the three council members who wanted to approve a fee structure Thursday objected to delaying the vote.

Councilmember Alejandra Gutierrez said she accepted that there was not a lot of public comment Thursday, but noted this topic has been considered for a long time, and that restaurateurs continue to voice their opinions by phone and email.

“A lot of people in the community have gone to hell and back, not just the restaurants, and they never attend city council meetings,” she said. “We need to have some structure. We asked staff to give us a report, and now we’re going to postpone? We can’t be doing this to the public.”

Councilmember Oscar Gutierrez, nevertheless, made a motion to continue the item. It ended in another 3-3 stalemate.

So Councilmember Friedman appealed directly to Mayor Rowse, asking what it would take for him to change his vote. He stressed that both options presented by staff ensured the city would recover the city’s full cost of taking care of the pedestrian promenade — a key demand by the mayor, who insisted earlier he would not vote for any plan that built in a structural deficit, “Anything short of full recovery is irresponsible on our part,” Mayor Rowse said.

Councilmember Friedman’s plea apparently worked, because he made another motion to approve the variable rate fee structure, and this time the mayor joined the other side, creating a 4-2 majority in support of the motion.

The council will have to readdress the entire parklet issue later this year, because the emergency ordinance passed during the COVID-19 pandemic that closed State Street and authorized the parklets is due to expire at the end of 2023.

size inside and with their defensive pressure, but we had our chances and just couldn’t capitalize.”

Leading the Royals was Wyatt Miller with 14 points, while Owen Lauderdale had ten.

Ben Treadway and Andre McCullough each contributed six.

The loss drops San Marcos to a 3-3 Channel League record with an overall mark of 5-13.

San Marcos will next play on Wednesday at Oxnard.

Bishop Diego girls basketball beats St. Bonaventure The Bishop Diego High girls basketball

team overcame St. Bonaventure, winning 3330.

Jiali Coronado led the way with nine points in the game, while Lily Simolon recorded eight points and eleven rebounds.

Bishop Diego played from behind in the matchup, trailing 19-13 at halftime before staging a second half comeback, scoring the first seven points of the half while only allowing St. Bonaventure to score eleven total.

“I couldn’t be more proud of how the girls played,” said Bishop Diego Coach Jeff Burich. “They communicated well on defense and really picked each other up.”

Bishop Diego carries an 18-2 record into today’s game against Foothill Tech. Both teams have a 2-0 league record.

WEDNESDAY THURSDAY

Assistant City Attorney Dan Hentschke told the council it would have to approve another ordinance in November to keep everything in place beyond the end of the year.

Staff anticipates operation on lower State Street might have to continue on an interim basis for another two to five years until the State Street Master Plan commences in earnest, to, as Mayor Rowse put it, “redesign, reinvent and repurpose State Street.”

Never a parklets fan, he conceded they might have to stay in place until then, but voiced his displeasure at the prospect.

“We closed State Street for one reason, for COVID and to keep the restaurants alive,” he said. But they make up a relatively small group of storefronts, he said, and the closure hasn’t helped out other businesses. Nor has it filled vacant storefronts.

“We haven’t increased the pie. We’ve merely taken the pie’s slices and concentrated them in one area,” Mayor Rowse said.

“State Street is a long street. It’s our street. It’s everyone’s street. And we’re missing parades and a lot of things we normally do.

“To keep it closed to do what we’re doing now is escaping me. I’m trying to find justification. We have a defined sensitive district with a bunch of plywood parklets in there. It’s strange-looking to me that we’ve continued this for a long hard time.” email: nhartsteinnewspress@gmail.com

DP girls basketball falls to Ventura The Dos Pueblos High girls basketball team lost to Ventura on Saturday, falling by a score of 61-42.

Carly Letendre led Dos Pueblos with 19 points, six rebounds and an assist. Gianna Nichols scored six points, while Justin Katz and Lauren Robles each scored five.

“I thought we played a pretty good first half of basketball. I was very happy with their effort and heart,” said Dos Pueblos Coach Manny Murillo. “Our rebounding was better, we cut down on our turnovers, and we moved the ball better. And everyone got opportunities to shoot the basketball.”

Dos Pueblos fell to 7-12 with the loss.

Son adapts his father’s ‘Toccata for Toy Trains’ for the concert stage

Peter and Elmer Bernstein

CALENDAR

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

P

eter Bernstein remembers his famous father’s “Toccata for Toy Trains” from his childhood.

Elmer Bernstein, the late Santa Barbara composer known for themes for movies such as “The Magnificent Seven,” wrote “Toccata for Toy Trains” to go with a short animated film of the same name in the 1950s.

“I was under 10 when it was originally written,” Peter Bernstein, an arranger, composer and conductor, told the NewsPress. “It was the perfect age to watch movies about toy trains and pair music with it.”

Now Peter Bernstein, who goes around the country conducting orchestras playing his father’s score from the first “Ghostbusters” movie, has created a concert arrangement of the “Toccata for Toy Trains.” And the Santa Barbara Symphony will perform it at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 21 and 3 p.m. Jan. 22 at The Granada, 1214 State St. In addition to “Toccata for Toy Trains,” the concerts will include Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9 (“From the New World”), as well as Miguel del Aguila’s Concerto for Violin and Orchestra, “The Journey of a Lifetime (El viaje de una vida)” with violin soloist Guillermo Figueroa. More about those works will be discussed in Friday’s NewsPress.

As a child, Peter Bernstein enjoyed his father’s toccata. As an adult, he appreciates the craft behind it.

“To be able to go back and rework it (the ‘Toccata’) not only refreshes those memories, but it reinforces the musicianship with which it was written,” Peter told the News-Press.

“There’s a whimsical quality to all of the music, which you don’t see in his (later) film compositions,” Peter said.

“I like that it is decidedly not in the cinematic universe where he spent most of his career. It’s a completely different look at him as a composer,” Peter said.

“It was written with continuous performance in mind.”

Elmer wrote it for Charles and Ray Earnes, who produced 125 short art films including “Toccata for Toy Trains.” He composed music for several other films by Charles and Ray Earnes.

The toccata is performed by a small group of musicians.

“You can think of this as his chamber music,” Peter said.

“The only hard part for me was deciding which section not to use, to condense it from 14 minutes, the length of the original film, to the seven minutes that are contained in the suite,” Peter said.

Nir Kabaretti, the symphony’s conductor and artistic director, said a small ensemble from the orchestra — including four woodwind players, three percussionists, one trumpeter and one pianist — will perform the toccata. He praised Peter for being

loyal to the way Elmer intended the work to be performed.

“I love the fact that the son took this project and provided a new score for us to play to honor Elmer’s legacy,” Maestro Kabaretti told the News-Press. “He was a very important figure not only in the film industry, but also in the musical life of Santa Barbara.”

Elmer wrote works for the Santa Barbara Symphony and did some guest conducting, Maestro Kaberetti said.

Elmer Bernstein (1922-2004) composed scores for more than 150 major movies — everything from “To Kill A Mockingbird” to “The Ten Commandments.”

A graduate of New York University and The Juilliard School, Elmer, living in Los Angeles, was blacklisted during the McCarthy era in the early 1950s.

Research shows that spending time outdoors is associated with better mental and physical health, so the Santa Barbara Public Library invites the community to explore the great outdoors with the help of a new collection of items to borrow.

The collection is called Adventure Packs.

They’re part of a project funded by a grant from the state and administered by the California State Library. Programs and events will complement this new library collection and will be held throughout the spring.

Adventure Packs feature equipment and literature to help you head out into nature. The library’s goal is to make outdoor activities accessible for all ages.

opens one club, you respond one diamond and he bids one spade. What do you say?

ANSWER: You have enough strength to commit to game, but unless you are willing to raise to four spades with three-card support or risk 3NT with no heart stopper, you cannot place the contract. Bid two hearts, a forcing “fourth-suit” action that doesn’t promise hearts but merely asks partner to bid again.

North dealer N-S vulnerable NORTH { Q J 2 x 8 7 3 z A 8 6 5 3 y A Q

BETTER PLAY Louie played with more care. He saw that if the club finesse lost, East would prevail with a heart shift. So Louie took the ace and led a low diamond from dummy. East won and led a club to West’s king, but Louie won the heart shift, led a diamond to the ace and ruffed a diamond.

Louie next took the A-Q of trumps and led a good diamond from dummy.

East ruffed, but Louie overruffed, led a trump to dummy and took the good diamond. Making four.

If diamonds had split 4-2, Louie would have made game if trumps had split 3-1 or 2-2.

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 — Today you could resolve to work harder than ever on whatever it is that brings the results you hope for, Libra. This is likely to involve nothing more glamorous than practical tasks, such as getting paperwork out of the way. Nonetheless, by the end of the day you should feel satisfied with your accomplishments. If nothing else, it should free you for more interesting chores.

SCORPIO — Pursuing intellectual interests may be on hold today because of career matters. Your ambitions, whatever they are, could get a shot in the arm through some new information, possibly from far away. This could be uncovered in a newspaper, book, conversation with a friend, or online.

Whichever it is, Scorpio, it’s likely to work for you, so make use of it.

SAGITTARIUS — Memories of past events that caused traumas that you’re still dealing with could come to light today. This is a positive development, as the release of these old emotions could make it possible for you to progress more quickly on material and spiritual planes.

You may feel lighter, and you could experience a rush of joy.

CAPRICORN — Today you might see old and new friendships and romantic involvements reach a new understanding, Capricorn.

This creates a stronger commitment between you and those who care for you. This is a great day to execute paperwork, particularly legal contracts. Your business sense is operating at a very high level.

AQUARIUS — An important project could require intense concentration today, Aquarius, and you’re in the right frame of mind. You could be pleased with the results and so could others whose opinions matter.

Expect public acknowledgment of some kind. A boost to your self-confidence is in the works, perhaps even a raise in income.

PISCES — Your practical skills should be operating efficiently, Pisces. A creative or intellectual discipline that fascinates you might require some intense concentration today. You could spend much of the day in the library. You will want to take meticulous notes, but don’t worry about it if you don’t quite catch everything.

DAILY BRIDGE “The man could roll sevens if he had only one die,” Unlucky Louie grumbled.

Louie meant the player we call Harlow the Halo. While Harlow basks in Dame Fortune’s smile — his finesses always win and his errors never cost — Louie struggles in her shadow.

In a team match, Louie and Harlow both played at today’s four spades, and West led a club. Harlow played dummy’s queen, accepting the winning finesse as his due. He claimed 10 tricks.

HOROSCOPE ARIES — Practical matters involving home and family might need some attention today. This isn’t anything alarming, Aries, just a few tasks that you may have put off, such as house cleaning or yard work. Get other members of your household to help. You have other responsibilities to see to.

It isn’t fair to have to do it all by yourself.

TAURUS — Matters involving your community might require your attention. This is likely to involve communication in some way. Perhaps you want to make some phone calls, write letters, or place an ad or article in a local newspaper. Communication of all sorts should go well, Taurus, and you might find that it opens new doors to understanding between you and those closest to you.

GEMINI — Financial matters might need attention today. Bills may need to be paid, checks deposited, and budgeting worked out. Your powers of concentration are high, Gemini, so this is a great day to do this, even though you’d rather be doing something more interesting. Don’t despair. Your practical skills are good, so you’re apt to finish quickly.

CANCER — Some projects might require practical attention today, getting irritating little details cleared up and out of the way. Your natural efficiency is at a peak, Cancer, so you will probably be able to get these matters done before you get too bored. The important thing is that you will be able to achieve the results you want. Go to it.

LEO — Relatives or old friends, particularly seniors, who visit you today are likely to awaken childhood memories that you’d long since forgotten. Some of them might come as a shock, but they will all release hang-ups that you’ve been trying to expunge for a while.

VIRGO — Today you might spend a lot of time on the phone with friends, some of them seniors. Your conversations will be loving, informative, and revealing, Virgo. As a result, you might decide to attend some group events in your community.

A letter, check, or delivery that had been delayed might finally arrive.

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 in this court as follows: Date: 02/23/2023 at Time: 9:00 AM, in Dept.: 5, located at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101; PO Box 21107, Santa Barbara, CA 93121-1107, Anacapa Division.

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.

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

This may affect your property. Please read.

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

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

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

If a request for public hearing is not received by 5:00 p.m. on the Request for Hearing Expiration Date listed below, then the Planning and Development Department will act to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the request for a Coastal Development Permit. At this time it is not known when this action may occur; however, this may be the only notice you receive for this project. To receive additional information regarding this project, including the date the Coastal Development Permit is approved, and/or to view the application and plans, or to provide comments on the project, please contact Kevin De Los Santos at Planning and Development, 123 E. Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara 93101-2058, or by email at santosk@countyofsb.org, or by phone at (805) 884-8051.

At the halfway point of the GSAC regular season Westmont Men’s Basketball (12-6, 5-4 GSAC) is over .500 in conference play thanks to an 86-73 win over San Diego Christian (3-7, 2-7) on Saturday afternoon.

Westmont trailed by double-digits early, but wasted no time in evening the contest up by halftime.

Then, in the second half, Westmont pulled away with a double-digit lead in the final ten minutes.

“This is the best San Diego Christian team that I’ve seen since I’ve been on staff,” said Westmont head coach Landon Boucher.

“They’ve beaten Hope handedly, and then took The Master’s to the wire back on Thursday. Our guys came in really humble, and came in ready to execute the game plan.

“The stat that really defined the afternoon was our ability to take care of the basketball. San Diego Christian leads the league in forcing turnovers, averaging right around 18 a game. Today, we only turned it over nine times. They pressed us all game, and we still had 18 assists to just nine turnovers.

If we can continue a two-to-one ratio on assists to turnovers, we will be really tough to stop.”

Individually, Anthony McIntyre led the way with 24 points off the bench on eight of 12 shooting.

The leading scorer also led the Warriors with a trio of makes from beyond the arc to go along with three assists. Behind McIntyre, Cly Griffith Jr continued his hot stretch with 17 points, while Amir Davis posted 13 points and a teamhigh seven rebounds.

“Cly had another really strong offensive game,” noted Boucher.

“He made several plays down the stretch that we needed him to. Especially for him to come off the bench the whole year, and then today jump into the starting lineup, which isn’t an easy thing to do. That can be tough to do, but Cly put the team first and had some really nice minutes today.

“Anthony McIntyre was just amazing, playing 30 minutes off the bench. He made big plays on both ends of the floor.”

In the first half the Warriors were forced to play from behind as the Hawks jumped out to a 2612 lead after the first 10 minutes.

Fortunately for Westmont, as their offense got rolling, the Hawk’s came to a halt. While SDC converted six early 3-pointers, the Hawks shooting went cold down the stretch. On the other end of the court, Westmont made a point to get inside, outscoring the Hawks 26-16 in the paint during the period.

Highlighting Westmont’s inside threat was the aggressive play of McIntyre, who had nine points at halftime, and Davis, who contributed with eight.

Over the final 10:00 of the first half, Westmont outscored San Diego Christian 23-13, culminating in a last-second game-tying layup from Cade Roth. Similarly to Thursday’s

game against Life Pacific, the Warriors found themselves in an early hole, but again, by halftime, the team went to the locker room with a manageable 39-39 tie.

The first seven minutes of the second half saw both teams turn the ball over a handful of times, with both sides repeatedly giving the ball right back in transition. At the 13:00 mark, Westmont trailed momentarily at 47-46. Then, a three from Roth put Westmont back on top and allowed the club to settle back in.

Cly Griffith Jr. followed up Roth’s 3-pointer with a pair of layups over the next two possessions, capping off a momentum-swinging 7-0 run at the 11:45 mark. At that point, Westmont led SDC 53-47. However, the Warriors did not immediately run away with things, scoring only five points over the next four minutes of action.

Westmont’s dry spell eventually allowed San Diego Christian to claw back in it and even go ahead at one point. With 7:30 remaining in the game, a 3-pointer from the Hawks put them up momentarily at 60-59. Less than 10 seconds later, however, Drew Ramirez answered with a three of his own, giving Westmont a lead they would not surrender the rest of the way.

The day’s dagger came at the four-minute mark, when Davis dove on a defensive loose ball and called a timeout. Following the forced turnover, a layup from Jalen Townsell put Westmont up 72-64, their biggest lead of the day so far.

Then, one possession later, McIntyre drilled a back-breaking 3-pointer, putting Westmont up double-digits at 75-64 with three minutes to play.

Minutes later, the Warriors capped off the first half of conference play with an 86-73 win.

“In this league, the team that plays defense and rebounds in the second half is going to win,” said Boucher.

“Against a tough team, on the road, in a day game, I was proud of our ability to get defensive stops.”

One of the quiet stories of the second half was the Warriors’ ability to contain SDC’s Josh O’Campo, who scored just seven points down the stretch, including a 12-minute span without a basket.

“I thought that Drew Ramirez just wore Josh O’Campo out in the second half,” reflected Boucher.

“He was so physical, and just took him out of the game. O’Campo is a heck of a player, and a heck of a shooter, and it won’t show up in the box score, but Drew was huge to keep him at bay in the second half.

“Drew’s defense was one of the turning points of the day.”

Next weekend, in Arizona, Westmont will cap off a three-game road trip with contests at OUAZ (Jan. 19) and Arizona Christian (Jan. 21).

Following the trip, Westmont will return home to host The Master’s on Jan. 28 in Murchison Gym. Jacob Norling is the sports information assistant at Westmont College. email: sports@newspress.com

Warriors win on Senior Day

By RON SMITH WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

Women’s Swimming set a record for the wettest senior day in Westmont Athletics history – not because of the water in the pool, but because of a nearly two inches of rain that fell from the sky. The added moisture, however, did not put a damper on the Warriors’ enthusiasm or performance.

Westmont defeated The Master’s in a dual meet by a score of 143-99.

The senior class of five is the first group of swimmers to have entered together as freshmen four years ago when the program began.

“The interesting thing about these five is that we all got to experience being freshmen on the Westmont College Swim Team together,” said head coach Jill Jones Lin during the ceremony honoring Rian Lewandowski, Emma Leathers, Bailey Lemmon, Gaby Rego and Morgan Bienias. “With this group of women, I got to share my vision for Westmont Swimming and my hope for their class to be, as Hannah Thompson would say, ‘the founding mothers’ of the program.

“They immediately bought into the idea that Westmont Swimming was going to be a special place where they were valued far beyond their swimming abilities and where they got to be active participants in developing a team and team culture from scratch. They have continually been my anchors and the glue that has held this team together through some very difficult times, and for that I am incredibly grateful.”

The meet started with the Westmont quartet of Lewandowski, Ella Chaisson, Emma Diehl and Lemmon, winning the 400 medley relay in a time of 4:08.33, which was a season best.

Olivia Garrison then won the first of her three races, posting an NAIA provisional qualifying time

of 2:00.22 in the 200 yard freestyle.

Chaisson took second in the event in a time of 2:00.49, which also beat the provisional qualifying time.

“Ella had a great meet with a couple of wins and Olivia swam really well today,” said Jones Lin. “We’ve been wearing ‘fast’ suits any chance we get since it’s our last chance to qualify and attend the NAIA nationals meet. We are trying our best to make every meet and every race count.”

In the 100 yard backstroke, Lemmon claimed first place with a time of 1:02.45, beating her nearest competitor by nearly a second.

In the 100 yard breaststroke, Chaisson recorded a school record 1:07.49 to place first. She beat her own record by six-hundredths of a second.

Emma Diehl outswam her opponents in the 200 yard butterfly, touching the wall in a time of 2:22.71. Then Garrison picked up her second win with a time of 26.33 in the 50 yard freestyle.

The 500 yard freestyle was won by Chaisson in an NAIA provisional qualifying time of 5:22.88. Then, Garrison won the 400 yard individual medley with a time of 4:50.87.

Jones Lin pointed out that, “Abby Rickard swam the 400 individual medley for the first time ever today and did an incredible job. Morgan made her comeback in today’s meet after a semester abroad.”

Next, Westmont will make their way to Fairbanks to take on the Nanooks of Alaska in a two-day dual meet on Friday and Saturday in Patty Center Pool. The two teams swam against each other in Santa Barbara at the end of October with Westmont winning both days.
