Indoor mask mandate to begin Friday SBCC vote By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

An indoor masking mandate for Santa Barbara County will go into effect

for all people, regardless of vaccination status, at 5 p.m. Friday, according to the Public Health Department. The new mandate, which is set to

go into effect Friday, comes as the county has seen a recent surge in cases associated with the highly transmissible delta variant. The mandate will be preceded by a new

Health Officer Order, which is expected to be released on Wednesday. Email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

Old Spanish Days officials announced Tuesday that Fiesta Pequeña will be closed to the public. The opening Fiesta event was set to take place Wednesday night.

In the interest of community safety, Old Spanish Days organizers made the decision late Tuesday to close Fiesta Pequeña to the public. Due to the county’s rising case rate associated with the highly transmissible Delta variant, organizers decided to close Wednesday’s Fiesta Pequeña to in-person attendance and will instead film the show and broadcast it at a later date, according to Fiesta’s El Segundo Vice Presidente David Bolton. Organizers also announced Tuesday that Thursday’s Las Noches de Ronda will be outright canceled. “With the surge and with suggestions to not have large gatherings ... we just thought it was the right thing to do for our community,” Mr. Bolton told the NewsPress. “Large gatherings right now — it’s just not the best time to be doing them, and Old Spanish Days didn’t want to put any members of our community at risk, and so that’s why the public portion of Pequeña and all of Noches de Ronda will be cancelled.” The event now joins a list of traditional Fiesta events cancelled due to COVID19, which includes the annual parade and the Mercado De la Guerra. At this point,

the Fiesta rodeo at the Earl Warren Showgrounds is still tentatively scheduled for Friday. While the event would normally be livestreamed, KEYT NewsChannel 3 announced Tuesday evening that it would be cancelling the live broadcast of the event, citing concerns about the safety risk it posed to employees. KEYT will be broadcasting the filmed show at a later date. The cancellation is emotional for many Fiesta organizers, Mr. Bolton said, especially when the organization was so close to celebrating with the community after a hard pandemic year. “It’s hard, it’s hard for everyone involved, it’s hard for participants, the parents, the organizers because everyone looks so forward to the event,” Mr. Bolton said. “(Fiesta) is such a highlight of the year. There’s energy there, generations of families celebrate together, and it’s hard to have to say we can’t do it, but it’s beyond our control. It’s what is happening on a large scale and the recommendations that we received that led us to make this decision. We made this decision thinking 100% that it’s what is best for our community at this time.” Mr. Bolton said the recommendations from the county’s Public Health Department are advising all people to

Weeks of mounting tensions surrounding the Santa Barbara City College Board of Trustees came to a head on Tuesday when the college’s Academic Senate stamped a vote of “no confidence” against certain members of the board during a special meeting. After deliberating for more than four hours Tuesday, the Academic Senate voted 13-3 with one member abstaining in favor of “no confidence” against five members of the board — Marsha Croninger, Veronica Gallardo, Dr. Peter Haslund, Robert Miller and Kate Parker. Trustees Jonathan Abboud and Dr. Anna Everett were not included in the vote. The board also agreed on Tuesday to deliver a writ of particulars that would outline particular grievances against the Board of Trustees. The “no confidence” vote came after the Board of Trustees faced backlash in recent weeks for opposing a vaccine mandate for the fall semester. This policy, many Academic Senate members agreed, was the “straw that broke the camel’s back,” and comes as the latest issue after years of many grievances. These grievances, according to the Academic Senate, include the board’s alleged lack of respect for faculty expertise, lack of shared governance and failure to listen to the needs of students, faculty and staff, in addition to the board’s recent decision to not enforce a vaccine mandate for the fall semester. Many Academic Senators and SBCC faculty members spoke during Tuesday’s meeting, discussing their frustrations with the board and the feelings of their constituents within certain departments. “One of the things I find profoundly problematic is the complete disregard Please see SBCC on A3

1st Thursday Art Walk returns this week By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Dr. Henning Ansorg, the county’s public health director, cautioned on Tuesday that all people should avoid crowds in an effort to slow the spread of the highly transmissible delta variant.

Downtown Santa Barbara is announcing the return of the 1st Thursday Art Walk from 5 to 8 p.m with more than 15 participating downtown venues as well as a mariachi band on the 1000 block of State Street and flamenco dancing in front of the Arlington Theatre. The Santa Barbara Historical Museum has a special exhibition, “Project Fiesta!,” as it celebrates the 97th Old Spanish Days Fiesta with photos, costumes and artifacts from previous celebrations. 1st Thursday passports, the official map and guide of all participating venues and events, can be picked up at Paseo Nuevo. Maps can also be downloaded at www.downtownsb.org/ events/1st-thursday. “We are so excited to bring the 1st Thursday Art Walk back after such a long hiatus.

avoid crowds to slow the transmission of disease. Prior to the board’s decision to cancel Pequeña, Dr. Henning Ansorg, the county’s public health officer, told the News-Press that he had concerns that Fiesta could turn into a superspreader event in the county. With the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showing that the delta variant can spread even among fully vaccinated people, Dr. Ansorg said both vaccinated and unvaccinated community members must take precautions to slow disease spread. According to the latest data, 1 in 7 of the county’s COVID-19 cases are occurring among fully vaccinated people, Dr. Ansorg said. “I would discourage any participation in any crowded event at this time,” Dr. Ansorg told the News-Press Tuesday. An indoor mask mandate is imminent, regardless of vaccination status. The mandate will begin at 5 p.m. Friday. More information will soon be released by Santa Barbara County Public Health (who has not yet made an official announcement).

TRAFFIC, CRIME AND FIRE BLOTTER Vehicle fire and vegetation fire off Hwy. 101 LOS ALAMOS — A vehicle fire Tuesday afternoon spread to nearby vegetation, charring two acres alongside Highway 101 at Palmer Road. Santa Barbara County firefighters responded to reports of a fully involved vehicle fire extending into the brush at 2:56 p.m. The fire department issued a vegetation fire response and sent an engine to extinguish the vehicle as well. The responding crews saw a west wind pushing the flames through light brush and contained the fire to two acres.

Crews canceled calls for aircraft and dozer assistance. The cause is under investigation, although it seems likely the vehicle fire was the source. — Annelise Hanshaw

Armed standoff results in mental health treatment SANTA BARBARA — Santa Barbara Police officers deployed two rubber bullets during negotiations with a subject armed with two large kitchen knives that appeared to be undergoing a mental health crisis. Police originally responded around 9:20 a.m. when a 911 caller

reported a family member acting “bizarre” with two large kitchen knives in the 1500 block of West Valerio Street. Two members of the Crisis Negotiations Response Team assisted officers. Upon arrival, they saw a male standing in a doorway holding knives and talking nonsensically. Officers told the subject to drop the weapons multiple times, but the subject exited the home with a small coffee table as a makeshift shield in addition to the knives. After many failed negotiations, officers were afraid the subject could pose extreme danger to the community if he fled. The subject started to approach an officer, and police gave verbal commands to drop the knives. One officer then deployed a less-lethal rubber projectile and hit the

subject’s leg. The subject tried to enter a neighbor’s home while still armed, so a second rubber projectile was deployed. (The press release does not specify where the bullet struck.) Officers continued to negotiate, and the subject surrendered. Police temporarily detained the subject and called County Crisis Recovery Emergency Services to evaluate mental wellbeing. A mental health professional put the subject on a custody hold for evaluation and treatment, and he was transported to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. SBPD reports its primary concern was the wellbeing of the individual. No charges are pending.

U.S. continues to lead in total medal count U.S. gymnast Simone Biles stuck the landing in Tuesday’s balance beam finals, earning her a 14.0 score and a bronze medal (her seventh career medal) following a break to focus on her mental health. But two days before her performance on the beam, her aunt died unexpectedly. “You have to be a little bit more mindful of what you say online, because you have no idea of what these athletes are going through as well as (in) their sports,” Ms. Biles told reporters, according to a CNN report. Tamyra Mensah-Stock wrestled away the gold in the 68-kilogram freestyle final — the first black woman to win an Olympic gold medal for the United States in wrestling. A third outstanding black female Olympian, Athing Mu won gold in the women’s 800m race. She is the second U.S. Olympian to win the title and the first since 1968. She won with a time of 1:55:21. Tuesday’s competition ended with the United States ahead in the total medal count with 73 medals. China had 69, and Russia won 51. China, though, claimed the most gold with 32 gold medals compared to the U.S.’s 24.

Residents of Carpinteria, Goleta and unincorporated Southern Santa Barbara County will see a new item on their energy bill beginning in October: Central Coast Community Energy. CCCE is a public agency governed by officials of the communities it serves. It sources competitively priced, clean energy sources while providing incentives and rebates to customers. Southern California Edison and Pacific Gas & Electric continue delivering energy and sending a monthly bill, but CCCE makes decisions about the source of the energy and takes over the charges for electric generation. Financial assistance programs such as CARE, FERA, Medical Baseline, AMP and California’s Climate Credits remain available. Customers will receive notifications in the mail this month as well as in September, November and December. CCCE is also hosting webinars about the transition in English and Spanish. “With service for customers in Carpinteria, Goleta and southern Santa Barbara County beginning in October Central Coast Community Energy will bring choice and more

opportunities for customers,” Das Williams, Santa Barbara County supervisor and CCCE Policy Board vice chair said in a news release. “As an agency, CCCE is moving the needle on reducing emissions and creating new renewable energy resources that benefit not just the whole state but our planet while maintaining affordability for its Central Coast customers,” he said. CCCE already operates as far north as Santa Cruz County, serving approximately 350,000 Central Coast customers. It has provided incentives and rebates such as funding for electric vehicles and charging stations, zeroemissions electric school buses, electric agricultural equipment and more. CCCE reports a total of $49.5 million in community reinvestment since its launch in 2018 and a 50% rate reduction totaling $22 million for May and June 2020. “Our expansion to serve 3 new communities in Santa Barbara County marks an important transition in CCCE’s development as a community choice energy agency,” said CCCE CEO Tom Habashi. “Our southward expansion led to a name change, a larger board and most importantly a new direction and a real commitment to renewable energy. By October of this year, CCCE will be serving four counties and 29 cities along the California Central Coast.” The agency has $12 million available to fund energy programs in the 2021-2022 fiscal year.

Writ containing specific grievances against board members to be drafted at later meeting SBCC

‘Our board

Continued from Page A1 on the part of many board members for our expertise, whether that’s disciplinary expertise, expertise as teachers, expertise as people who actually have contact with students — unlike board members,” Academic Ellen Carey said during Tuesday’s meeting. “Over the years there have been many students, faculty, classified staff who have spoken on various topics — the vaccine issue being only the most recent one — and then been completely ignored by the board or disrespected.” Robin Goodnough, another academic senator, echoed this point in her comments at Tuesday’s meeting, noting that she has seen many issues with the board during her 25 years as a full-time faculty member. She cited the “revolving door of presidents” that continue to leave SBCC as evidence of the Board of Trustees’ “lack of supportive relationship with the campus.” “We are there on the ground, and our board is showing increasing and continuing disregard for us, our expertise, our value as employees as advocates,” Ms. Goodnough said. Tuesday’s meeting came after the Academic Senate conducted a survey among SBCC faculty members in July, which discovered that 79% of faculty members would support a vote of “no confidence” against the board. In response to the survey results, Board of Trustees member Veronica Gallardo, who was one of the board members who received a vote of “no confidence” Tuesday, issued the following statement to the NewsPress in an email: “One of SBCC’s core principles is ‘student-centered policies, practices, and programs.’ As

is showing increasing and continuing disregard for us.’ Robin Goodnough, SBCC academic senator a trustee for SBCC, when I am reviewing policy, I consider whether a policy in question will have a ‘disproportionate impact’ on students. Mandating a vaccine not only limits access to SBCC, it also creates a barrier to access the SBCC mission which states that ‘SBCC welcomes all students.’ Even if there is an exemption to the mandate, requiring the submission of an exemption still creates a barrier. Specifically, a vaccine mandate policy prevents a population of students like our local dual enrollment, middle college students, and adult ed (GED) students from accessing SBCC’s ‘diverse learning environment and opportunities to enrich their lives…’ if they are unvaccinated. For many of these students the traditional high school curriculum does not or did not fully support their learning needs. My job as a trustee is to assist in making SBCC more accessible, not less accessible, to eliminate barriers and open doors, not close them. Adopting a policy to mandate a vaccine runs counter our mission which is why I do not support it.” At the conclusion of Tuesday’s meeting, the Academic Senate agreed to come back to write the writ of particulars at a later meeting. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

Sadako Peace Day organizers seek hope

Hal Maynard and Sandy Jones sing a song, advocating for peace during 2019’s commemmoration.

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Nearly 76 years have passed since the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing hundreds of thousands of civilians. Sadako Peace Day was created to honor the victims, and the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation has commemorated the occasion for the past 26 years (including a virtual event in 2020). NAPF, a denuclearizing advocacy group, is holding its 27th annual Sadako Peace Day at 6 p.m. Friday on the Magnolia Lawn at Westmont College, 955 La Paz Road in Santa Barbara. The one-hour event begins with Bob Nyosui Sedivy playing the ancient Shakuhachi flute. Keeping a calm atmosphere, performers will stand without introduction (though they may introduce themselves) and present a poem or a song. The event always features a Santa Barbara Poet Laureate Emeritus and singer-songwriters who perform peaceful works.

Then, they conclude with more Shakuhachi flute tunes. “It not only honors the innocent victims of Hiroshima and nagasaki but innocent victims everywhere,” Sandy Jones, NAPF director of communications, told the News-Press. The day is a tribute to Sadako Sasaki, who was a two-year-old Hiroshima resident at the time of the bombing. She died from leukemia 10 years later, one of many bomb survivors who later fell ill to cancer. Inspired by a Japanese legend, she folded 1,000 paper cranes while in the hospital. An advocate for world peace, she is often quoted writing “I will write peace on your wings, and you will fly all over the world,” on the cranes. Ms. Jones believes Sadako’s philosophies are just what the community needs today. “With so many having lost so much in this past year, there’s a joint feeling: There’s a sense of shared loss. With that comes a sense of shared hope for better times, that we can all share in that feeling together,” she said. NAPF will have chairs set up

Special Angel In Heaven

A few weeks after turning 60 years young, our sister Kathleen “Kathy” Anne Goebel was welcomed into the arms of God. She was known by all to be the friendliest, happiest, loving person they had ever met, always having a smile on her face, shaking your hand or giving you a hug. Kathy was born in the Summer of 1961 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She was the third oldest of four children to Bert and Arlene Goebel before relocating to Santa Barbara, California. Kathy’s family settled in Carpinteria, California. It was at this time Kathy began attending Garﬁeld School and later advancing to the Alpha Training Center both of which were located in Santa Barbara, California. After living in Carpinteria 30-plus years with her parents Arlene and Bert, they move to Visalia, California where she attended the “Life Skill’s” Learning Center. Kathy loved being active and participated not only in the Special Olympics in both Santa Barbara and Visalia, but she was most proud of her participation with THE “MIRACLE LEAGUE” of VISALIA and never missed an opportunity to laugh and celebrate with her friends during each game. She was a longtime member of the “Women of the Moose.” After relocating to Visalia, Kathy attended St. Mary’s Church with her parents. What made her standout the most was her unmeasurable love for her parents Arlene “MaMa” and Bert “PaPa.” Kathy is preceded in death by her parents Bert and Arlene Goebel and her younger brother, James “Jimmy” Goebel. She is survived by her two brothers: Dennis Goebel (Anja) and Gary Goebel all of Visalia, California.

ANDERSON, Walter Burke, MD May 09, 1933 - June 17, 2021 Due to Covid, memorial services for Walter Burke Anderson, MD have been postponed until further notice.

Hanging in there Westerlay Orchids to offer kokedama plant workshop

COURTESY PHOTOS

Kokedama or the moss ball has made a resurgence as an art form. “Kokedama is the practice of taking the root ball of a plant and suspending it in a mud ball, which is then coated with soft green moss. It is a living planter as well as a distinctive display piece,” said Paige Harman, who is leading a “Hanging Kokedama Workshop” in Ventura.

Mayra Romero will provide Spanish translation during the “Hanging Kokedama Workshop.”

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The art of kokedama literally translates from “koke,” meaning moss, and “dama,” meaning ball. This moss ball is experiencing a resurgence as a modern art form useful for uniquely presented plants and flowers. Instructions and classes on the how-to for this skill abound on the internet and in plant forums. And in the Santa Barbara area, according to Paige Harman, who will be leading a “Hanging Kokedama Workshop” from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Aug.19 at the Topa Topa Brewing Co., 4880 Colt St., Ventura. She is the retail show manager for Westerlay Orchids on Via Real in Carpinteria, cosponsor of the event. Festivities begin with a social hour from 5 to 6 p.m. “We did a similar workshop in July at the Carpinteria Arts Center, and it sold out. We donated the proceeds to the Arts Center,” said Ms. Harman. “Moss balls are a beautiful way to display orchids, and the workshop is an easy way to bring orchids out into the community.” Assisting her is Mayra Romero, who provides the Spanish translation for the bilingual

session. Ms. Harman explained that “Kokedama is a form of Japanese garden art that is centuries old and tied into the practice of bonsai. It is an accent to that mode of plant display where a moss ball is the focal and supporting point for a sculpted tree or plant. The moss ball is fixed to a platform or suspended from string with the plant growing out from the sphere. “Kokedama is the practice of taking the root ball of a plant and suspending it in a mud ball, which is then coated with soft green moss. It is a living planter as well as a distinctive display piece. It can be fixed to a piece of driftwood or bark, suspended from a string or nestled in a clear, attractive container. Hanging many of these as a kokedama moss garden is called a string garden.” Although orchids will be used at the workshop, other plants can also be made into moss balls, according to Ms. Harman. “Many tropical jungle plants are suitable as well as ferns, lucky bamboo or even ivy. Avoid any succulents and cacti, as the soil ball will remain too moist for these types of plants.” The avid gardener said she has three of the plants hanging in

Equipment includes scissors, string, water, a spray bottle, a bucket and newspaper or a tarp to protect the work surface. “This makes it easy to do these workshops off site.

Physicals offered for fall athletes Cottage Urgent Care is offering physicals for students in fall sports. The physicals cost a reduced rate of $49 until Sept. 30. “The most important thing we look for is cardiac anomalies, which could be a problem when athletes are over exerting themselves,” said Amanda Tuel, nurse practitioner lead at Cottage Urgent Care. “We listen to the heart to check for murmurs and irregular beats. We also check their pulse for any asymmetry,” she said in a news release.

Clinicians will examine joints and reflexes, review the student’s medical history and note any recent health changes and concerns. “We also look for signs of Type 1 diabetes,” Ms. Tuel said. “The symptoms of being overly thirsty, hungry and tired can masquerade as nothing out of the ordinary for athletes doing rigorous training.” Nurse practitioners at Cottage Urgent Care are available from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. 365 days a year. Appointments are encouraged, but walk-ins are welcome. For appointments and more information, visit cottagehealth.org/urgentcare. — Marilyn McMahon

Diversions HOROSCOPE s PUZZLES

Thought Thoughtfor for Today Today

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can look forward to a busy day, Aries. Don’t schedule anything extra! Your home, family or mate is likely to demand a great deal of you. In fact, your energy may be stretched to the breaking point, so be careful to keep some strength in reserve. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s easy to imagine a friend coming to your house to have a cup of coffee and ending up transmitting all of their energy to you. Let’s hope this doesn’t happen too late in the evening, Taurus, because you will then have trouble going to sleep! This energy is going to give your projects a great boost. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may feel an urgent need to use your physical energy, which brings up the question of sports in your life, Gemini. Do you get enough exercise? If not, this could be a good time to join a gym. CANCER (June 21-July 22): A day like today should give you the perfect demonstration of an old truth: People quickly forget the difficulties they’ve had in life and remember periods of happiness for a long time. You will be brimming with energy, Cancer. The question now is what are you going to do with it? There are many domains in which you could expend your energy. You have to start from scratch. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do you have a desire to take a trip far from where you live, Leo? Would you like to live in Europe or Asia? These are desires that you may have at the moment because you’re in the process of widening your field of possibilities. See if you can seriously set up a project of this kind. People will be confident in your solidity at the moment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): What’s happening in your usually amicable relationships, Virgo? It seems you’re looking for a fight. Could it be that someone has stolen a leadership position from you that you wanted? You tend to like being at the head of the group, and now you’re confronted by resistance. So get involved in a new group project so that everyone will be reconciled. Think about going on a trip. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): There are moments when everyone strongly feels where their destiny lies, Libra, and today will be one of those moments.

You may soon want to give your life a fundamentally different orientation that will be valid for several years. It isn’t just your profession that will be affected but every domain in your life: where you live, relationships and children. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): After a few days of apathy, the day ahead will give your energy a new boost. Anyone who tries to hold you back had better watch out, Scorpio, because you won’t be in the mood to tolerate objections. You can’t be restrained! This is an excellent time to reinforce your reputation as an excellent coach or the captain of your crew! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today you may be influenced by a person (probably a man) who exudes the kind of determination that is produced by a combination of spiritual and intellectual strength and faith. This is what they’re talking about when people speak of a leader of great integrity. The encounter with this person is likely to inspire you to commit to some good work, perhaps a charity. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may have had a tendency to go about your daily routine lethargically lately, Capricorn. But today, the alarm clock wakes you up. You may understand that your help is urgently needed and there’s no time to waste. You can expect to pour a great deal of energy into a single, well-defined goal. If you usually wander from project to project, this will be a change for you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19): The day will be fairly eventful, Aquarius. There’s some likelihood that you will feel compelled to finally settle some tedious matter, either the details of a project or a problem concerning your domestic life. You won’t rest until it’s finished, and you won’t be distracted, no matter how you’re cajoled to join the others. The only thing that will matter to you will be solving this problem. PISCES (Feb.19-March 20): The day ahead will be trying for you, Pisces. You will have a fire raging inside. You may have a speech to deliver or a private performance to put on for your loved ones. In any case, you will have to prove yourself, and you will spare no energy in the attempt. You will be completely drained by the end of the day. Plan to rest.

“Education begins at home. You can’t blame the school for not putting into your child what you don’t put into him.” – Geoffrey Holder

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.

SB County reports 52 new COVID-19 cases By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department reported 52 new cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday and no new deaths. Officials reported 16 new cases in Santa Maria, 12 new cases in Santa Barbara and the unincorporated area of Mission Canyon and eight new cases in Lompoc and the communities of Mission Hills and Vandenberg Village. Five new cases were reported in Orcutt, three new cases were reported in the Santa Ynez Valley and in Goleta, two infections were reported in the unincorporated area of the Goleta Valley and Gaviota, and one new infection was reported in the South Coast unincorporated area of Summerland, Montecito and the City of Carpinteria. Two cases were pending on Tuesday. Tuesday’s updated case count brings the county to 430 cases still infectious. As of Monday, 70.5% of the county’s eligible 12 and older population had received at least one shot of the vaccine, and 62.1% of the same population were fully vaccinated. Of the entire county population, 52.6% of residents were fully vaccinated as of Monday. As the Delta variant continues to cause increased case rates across the county, Dr. Henning Ansorg, the county’s public health officer, is urging all eligible people to get their shot in the arm as soon as possible. “If you’re on the fence about being vaccinated, this is the time to take the jump to get vaccinated if you haven’t done so,” Dr. Ansorg told the NewsPress Tuesday. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

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: August 19, 2021 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. Appearance via ZOOM. Meeting ID: 959 8605 7786, Passcode: 9000795. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Petitioner: Randy Paul Cardona Address: 331 Lomita Court Aptos, CA 95003 Phone: 831 332-2659 JUL 28; AUG 4, 11 / 2010--57394
