High court overrules Newsom Ruling says churches can meet indoors, but local places of worship plan to continue outdoor services
Man, juvenile charged in double homicide By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR
KENNETH SONG / NEWS-PRESS
In a Supreme Court ruling Friday, California places of worship, which include sites such as the Santa Barbara Mission, were given the allclear to resume indoor services with some restrictions. However, a number of churches in Santa Barbara County are not resuming indoor services right away.
By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT
Churches, synagogues, temples and other places of worship in California were granted permission to resume indoor services over the weekend after the U.S. Supreme Court threw out Gov. Gavin Newsom’s ban on indoor worship during the pandemic. In a 6-3 decision, the high court ruled Friday that Gov. Newsom’s order violated the Constitution’s provision for the free exercise of religion. As a result of the ruling, the Supreme Court
declared that the state can limit churches to 25% capacity indoors and restrict singing and chanting. However, a number of places of worship in Santa Barbara County will not be returning to indoor services immediately. Many cited the ongoing threat of the pandemic towards vulnerable populations in their congregation. A number of churches in the county belong to the Episcopal Dioceses based in Los Angeles, who declared earlier this week that services would remain outdoors or online despite the ruling. “It’s not safe for people to be indoors for
an hour at a time across household groups, especially those most at-risk,” bishops of the Episcopal Dioceses in Los Angeles said in a statement. “Constitutional law experts will debate the fine points. But those who think the government is singling out churches, temples, mosques, and other worship venues would have to overlook theaters, museums, lecture halls, and fitness centers — secular businesses and institutions whose inside activity has also been suspended to keep people from prolonged contact with one another.” Please see worship on A4

Community advocates for reopening SB schools Drive-by protest planned for today By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
Santa Barbara Unified seeks to reopen its campuses, but state law prohibits schools from reopening until the county’s case rate decreases. Schools Superintendent Hilda Maldonado and board President Kate Ford released an article to local media last week, expressing their desire to reopen school, arguing that districts with a lower socioeconomic status are harmed by the state’s policy. Their oped was published Sunday in the News-Press’ Voices section. And now a physician in a local group is encouraging parents to drive by their children’s schools and Santa Barbara City Hall today and honk in support of schools reopening for in-person instruction. Parents and community members have been advocating for the return to in-person learning for months. Santa Barbara Parent Leadership Action Network formed this summer in response to COVID-19’s effect on education. Dr. Sunita Beall, an SB PLAN member and parent of two students, organized a drive-by protest from noon to 1 p.m. today. The physician encouraged parents to drive by their children’s school and Santa Barbara City Hall and honk three times. “I’m hoping that the principals in the school, the staff in the
school, the teachers who are actually teaching these students over Zoom in their classrooms will hear that there is a sizable amount of people who would like their students to be back in person,” she told the News-Press. She picked today, the day of the Santa Barbara Unified board meeting, to get board members’ attention. Because board meetings are held over Zoom, she doesn’t think the district sees the number of concerned parents and community members. In response to news of today’s parade, Superintendent Maldonado said in an email to the News-Press, “We see you ... We hear you … And we support your requests to reopen our school. We want to be sure that our teachers and administrators get vaccinated as soon as possible, so we are working to advocate for this at all levels.” Other parents called into the Santa Barbara County Board of Education meeting Thursday to express their frustration with the county education office’s inaction. “What has the county done to negotiate with the governor to get our kids back to school?” asked Caroline Harrah, SB PLAN organizer and district parent. Friday, Dr. Susan Salcido, the Santa Barbara County superintendent of schools, and Maggi Daane, the county school board president, sent a letter to Please see protest on A4

Bryan Munoz, 21, of Santa Barbara, and an unnamed juvenile have been charged with the murders of 19-yearold residents Enzo Rastelli and Jasper Pieter van der Meulen. On Monday, District Attorney Joyce E. Dudley announced Mr. Munoz and the juvenile are being charged separately in adult and juvenile courts. Mr. Munoz was scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Department 8 of Superior Court of Santa Barbara, but his arraignment was continued to Feb. 16 And according to a statement from Ms. Dudley’s office, Mr. Munoz is eligible for the death penalty or life in prison without the possibility of parole if convicted. The juvenile will be arraigned in juvenile court, according to the statement. The statement also alleged that a conspiracy to commit a robbery, which resulted in the murders, is connected with the Westside criminal street gang. Consistent with the practice against identifying those being charged in juvenile court, the District Attorney’s Office is referring to the juvenile with the generic term “John Doe.” According to the District Attorney’s Office, “it is alleged that the murders were committed
for the benefit of, at the direction of or in association with the Westside criminal street gang in Santa Barbara County, in order to promote, further or assist in any criminal conduct by gang members on or about Jan. 7, 2021.” The shooting occurred around 12:30 p.m. Jan. 7. The Sheriff’s Office responded to the 600 block of Burtis Street, which is in an unincorporated area near Goleta. A passerby observed a suspect fleeing the area on foot. Responding deputies discovered two victims in the front seat of a parked vehicle. Mr. Rastelli suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head, and Mr. van der Meulen suffered a gunshot wound to the head, but survived the shooting and was transported to a local hospital. He succumbed to injuries and died Jan. 28. Arrests were announced Thursday by Sheriff Bill Brown. In Monday’s statement, the District Attorney’s Office alleged that a principal in the murders “personally discharged a firearm causing death to both victims within the meaning of Penal Code sections 12022.53(d) and (e). “It is further alleged that Bryan Munoz and minor John Doe unlawfully killed Enzo Rastelli and Jasper Van Der Meulen while active participants in a criminal street gang within the meaning

Life after basketball brightens for UCSB’s former one-two punch By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER
One of the greatest one-two punches in UCSB basketball history had their hands tied last summer when they swung by the Thunderdome to put up some shots. The coronavirus had put the pro careers of Leland King II and Max Heidegger on pause, forcing both to look past a basketball ‌ and into a crystal ball. What would life be like after basketball? “I was working out with Heid, and coach P walked in with Little Joe,â€? King said, referring to UCSB coach Joe Pasternack and his son. “We just started talking, and he asked about our plans. “It was actually at that point that I decided that I didn’t want to keep playing. I told him I wanted to move on.â€? And that’s when Pasternack made his move, recruiting King to a different kind of team. He put him in touch with Patrick Flood, a Santa Barbara-based financial advisor for UBS. By November, King was working in Los Angeles for that global financial firm. “Leland was our first important recruit at UCSB,â€? said Pasternack, who signed King as a graduate transfer for the 201718 season. “He’s a high-character kid from an unbelievable family. When he signed with us, we told him that he had made a 50-year decision. “We said, ‘You won’t be able to play basketball forever ‌ The air will go out of the ball sometime, but this is the No. 5-rated public university in America ‌ A degree from here really means something, and our alumni are very influential ‌ And coming here is an insurance policy for the rest of your life.’ “Leland trusted us. And sure enough, when his career was over, and he asked for help, we really wanted to take care of him.â€? Heidegger, who eventually returned to basketball two months ago to play in Israel, could vouch for his coach’s sincerity. He was already working his second summer internship with Stifel, a financial advisory firm in Santa Barbara. “Coach P connected me with John Van Donge, who’s a real great guy, and he got Marcus (Jackson) working for them, as well,â€? said Heidegger, referring to the point guard on UCSB’s 2017-18 team. “Every kid who plays basketball dreams of playing professionally, but not every guy is going to be able to do that. “As a recruit, you don’t always understand how important that network of people can become. I see Leland and Marcus flourishing now with those opportunities, and it shows how important it is to have those people here in Santa Barbara who care about the program and its players.â€? Heidegger and King combined to score 1,110 points during the 2017-18 season, helping the Gauchos set a school record for victories with a 23-9 mark. As onetwo punches go, they rank second at UCSB behind only future NBA players Orlando Johnson and

James Nunnally (1,194 points in 2011). Heidegger, a 6-foot-3 guard, and King, a 6-7 forward, were both voted to the 2018 All-Big West Conference first team. It marked only the fifth time in UCSB’s 57 seasons as a Division 1 program that it had placed two players on an all-league first team. King was also only the ninth Division 1 Gaucho to average a double-double. His 15.6 points and 10.2 rebounds per game put him in the exclusive company of John Conroy (1964), Dick Kolberg (1967), Doug Rex (1969-71), John Service (1976), Richard Anderson (1982), York Gross (1983), Eric McArthur (1989-90), and Alan Williams (201315). He received a master’s degree in education and then got an education in international relations by playing the next two seasons in Finland and Bosnia. He experienced culture shock the entire way. “A lot of people I came across in Bosnia had never seen black people, so I got a lot of stares,� King said. “It was fine, but I was pretty surprised by that.� He ranked among the leaders in Bosnia’s top division, averaging 15 points and 7.2 rebounds. King’s next stop was on the other side of the world after he signed last year to play for Australia’s Hume City Broncos. The COVID-19 pandemic canceled his season, however, before it could get started last March. “Honestly, I felt OK about it,� he said. “It was kind of a relief. The overseas process was a little difficult for me. It’s different than in high school and college, where you’re playing with your friends and in front of your family.
“That year at UCSB was really a lot of fun. We had a lot of characters on that team, and it was a good group, and I was playing for a coaching staff that really believed in me.� He is keeping his hand in the game. His office with UBS is just a few miles from his alma mater, Brentwood School, where he now helps with the basketball team. He’s also planning to play in some professional 3-on-3 tournaments. King and former Gaucho teammate Gabe Vincent, now a member of the NBA’s Miami Heat, were part of the Big West team that finished second in the inaugural 3X3U National Basketball Tournament. “I had a good time in basketball,� King said. “I want to keep that going.� Heidegger was King’s sophomore teammate when he set a school record with 95 threepointers and averaged 19.1 points — 10th-highest all-time at UCSB. He scored 1,347 points by the time he graduated last spring to rank 15th in the school record books. He was only the seventh Gaucho to ever make the All-Big West first team more than once. Although COVID-19 has limited his sight-seeing overseas, he is averaging 15.6 points per game for Bnei Herzliya of the Israel Premier League. He’s shooting 54% from three-point range and nearly 60% overall. “It’s more up-tempo than college, and definitely more physical,� Heidegger said. “But at the end of the day, basketball is basketball. There are still things I’m picking up and learning, and I’m enjoying the experience.� He has hopes of joining Vincent in the NBA someday, but he’s not

of Penal Code section 190.2(a)(22). It is further alleged that Bryan Munoz and John Doe committed multiple murders within the meaning of Penal Code section 190.2(a)(3), making Bryan Munoz eligible for the death penalty or life in prison without parole. “Minor John Doe has been charged in juvenile court and is subject to being a ward of the court until age 25,� the statement continued. On Thursday, Sheriff Brown announced that a 15-year-old boy was arrested in the case. On Monday, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office announced he had been re-booked on charges including two counts of murder, special circumstances; more than one offense of murder, special circumstances; murder committed during commission of robbery;
robbery; criminal conspiracy; felony committed for the benefit of a criminal street gang; and a firearm used in the commission of the crime causing death. The District Attorney’s Office’s statement said that Mr. Munoz and Joshua Isaac Vega, 24, of Santa Barbara, have been charged with conspiracy to commit robbery in the Jan. 7 incident. Mr. Vega is scheduled to be arraigned April 5 in Department 8 of the Superior Court of Santa Barbara. He faces a maximum sentence of five years if convicted, according to the District Attorney’s Office. In regards to Mr. Munoz, the office alleged “that the conspiracy to commit robbery was done for the benefit of, at the direction of or in association with the Westside criminal street gang in Santa Barbara County, in order to promote, further or assist in any criminal conduct by gang members. “As to Bryan Munoz, it is alleged
that a principal in the conspiracy personally discharged a firearm causing death within the meaning of Penal Code sections 12022.53(d) and (e).� On Monday, the Sheriff’s Office reported that it had impounded a 2015 black Nissan Altima, which the office said was used by the suspects during the murders. The vehicle was recovered Friday in the Ventura area. Sheriff’s Detectives said they would like to hear from anyone who may have seen the suspects and the vehicle on the night of and days following the murder. Detectives would also like to encourage anyone who has been similarly robbed to contact the detectives at 805-681-4150.

fixating on it. “I’m just focusing on winning games right now,� he said. “Once the season is over, I’ll kind of reevaluate what the next step will be, playing-wise. “For now, I’m just trying to take care of business here.� Heidegger would like to enter the financial world when his playing career ends. He’s already been studying the best ways to
invest his own basketball salary. “I think it’s a great fit for me,� he said. “The different fields in the financial world require you to be personable, but it’s also competition-based. “I think a career in the financial world is as close to sports as you
can get. There is a lot of pressure in dealing with money, and I kind of like those pressure-filled situations.� And his numbers, so far, are all looking good. email: mpatton@newspress.com

Rising case rate prevented December reopening waiver protest
Continued from Page A1 Gov. Gavin Newsom. They asked him to continue prioritizing education and childcare workers for the COVID-19 vaccine (who are not yet eligible for the vaccine but are one of few work groups prioritized in the state’s agebased distribution strategy). The superintendent and board president asked for opportunities for local districts to reopen. “In some areas of Santa Barbara County, we have adjacent districts, where one district is open and the other is not. It is difficult to justify how students in neighboring districts are not afforded the benefit of inperson instruction,” they wrote. SB Unified’s board wrote a letter to Gov. Newsom and Dr. Mark Ghaly, the California Health and Human Services secretary, in December but did not receive a reply. The board intended to submit an elementary-school reopening waiver application Dec. 1 but was denied because the county’s case rate rose above 14 daily cases per 100,000 population, a threshold state health officials set that closes waiver applications. “It really didn’t look like opening schools increases cases,” Dr. Peggy Dodds, a pediatrician with the Santa Barbara Public Health Department, said at the Dec. 1 meeting. “There have been several cases worldwide of big outbreaks in high schools, but, honestly, most of those were also when they weren’t following the public health guidelines with masking and distancing.” Dr. Beall, an internal medicine physician at UCSB’s student health center, understood the district’s hesitation when the virus was new. But the low rates of transmission in the county’s open schools and SB Unified’s on-campus cohorts make her feel more confident. “A lot of people feel that since we had this plan in the fall and now we’re changing it that we’re being
more aggressive, or just ignoring the safety issues,” she said. “The fact of the matter is what we understand now is that there are many measures that are very safe. So we can change our parameters.” The Santa Barbara Unified School District has detected nine transmissions of COVID-19 among on-campus staff and no transmission among students on campus. “(Students in school are) not out socializing. They have a place where their energy is directed,” Dr. Beall said. “They’re going to be going to school, coming home and studying, so they have more of a focus.” Dr. Beall said campuses — with safety measures in place — are safe for students whose families choose the option. She made clear that distance learning can be the best option for other families. Santa Barbara Unified is ready and waiting for case numbers to drop to 25 daily cases per 100,000 population so it can open its elementary campuses. It reports successful negotiations with its teachers unions regarding working conditions for reopening. “Will there be challenges? New problems to solve? Yes. But I have the utmost confidence in our teachers and staff to anticipate any issues and provide a safe learning environment for students,” Superintendent Maldonado said. Officials from the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department could not return a request for comment in time for the News-Press’ deadline. Schools have become national news as President Joe Biden described schools closing and women leaving the workforce as “a national emergency” in an interview Sunday with “CBS Evening News” anchor and managing editor Norah McDonnell. The CDC is expected to release its guidance for reopening schools this week. email: ahanshaw@newspress.

Rabbi: ‘The Supreme Court decision doesn’t change anything for us’ worship
The ruling allows for indoor services at places of worship such as the First Presbyterian Church in Santa Barbara. Various churches have said they won’t have indoor services because of their concerns about the pandemic.
Continued from Page A1 Rabbi Daniel Brenner of Congregation B’nai B’rith of Santa Barbara told the News-Press that he is not planning to hold indoor services anytime soon, regardless of the Supreme Court ruling. “Just because we’re now allowed to have indoor services doesn’t mean we’re going to,” Rabbi Brenner said Monday. “We haven’t determined that it’s safe for our community, and we are going by the recommendations of the medical and scientific communities.” During the pandemic, Rabbi Brenner’s congregation met online for all services and holiday celebrations and only held inperson gatherings for funerals and bat and bar mitzvahs. The synagogue also created a coronavirus task force composed of clergy leaders and congregational members in the medical field who have helped inform the synagogue’s decisions moving forward. “We don’t think there is any indication we should be praying indoors. … Public health (officials) and the medical community have been briefing us, and we feel this is the right course of action right now,” Rabbi Brenner said. “The Supreme Court decision doesn’t change anything for us.” Still, other clergy in the area are grateful for the opportunity to give congregants the option to meet inside if they choose. Father Bobby Barbato, pastor at Old Mission Santa Inés in Solvang, is looking forward to welcoming church members inside during the weekly 8 a.m. services on Wednesdays and Sundays. The cooler morning weather in the Santa Ynez Valley has made the outdoor services more difficult, Father Barbato told the NewsPress Monday. About 40 people attend the early services on Wednesday and Sunday, a number that meets the restrictions for indoor gatherings. Starting Wednesday morning, the church will welcome members indoors to worship, while enforcing social distancing and mask wearing. The church still plans to offer outdoor services to accommodate a larger group of

members. Throughout the pandemic, many church members met outdoors or listened to the church broadcast via a local radio station in their cars. During the service, the clergy would deliver communion to church members through their passenger windows. “I am glad for the opportunity (to meet indoors),” Father Barbato said. “We always want to make sure that we’re protecting everyone’s health while recognizing the importance of coming to give their worship.” Gov. Newsom’s restrictions were challenged in two separate cases brought to the court by South Bay United Pentecostal Church in Chula Vista and Harvest Rock Church based in Pasadena. South Bay has a record of defying the governor’s orders in recent months by holding indoor services during the ban. Both churches in Los Angeles County held inperson services over the weekend. The Supreme Court’s six conservative judges agreed the state’s restrictions singled out churches unfairly, yet held different opinions on the way forward. Justices Nei M. Gorsuch, Clarence Thomas and Samuel
A. Alito Jr. voted to lift all restrictions against churches, including limitations to singing and chanting, while Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett M. Kavanaugh believed churches should open with continued restrictions on worship. “California worries that worship brings people together for too much time,” Justice Gorsuch said. “Yet, California does not limit its citizens to running in and out of other establishments; no one is barred from lingering in shopping malls, salons or bus terminals.” The court’s three liberal justices — Justices Elena Kagan, Stephen G. Breyer and Sonia Sontomayor — dissented, asserting that California’s restrictions on both religious and secular activities

On February 4, 2021, Christina A. Perez, loving mother of Raymond Perez and wife Margaret, Robert Perez and wife Kathy, passed away peacefully at the age of 93 from complications of COVID-19 at Cottage Hospital of Santa Barbara. Christina was born in Pasadena, California on June 23, 1927 to Luis and Luz Cordero Anchondo. She met the love of her life, Leopoldo Perez, and they were happily married for over 50 years. They raised two sons, Raymond and Robert Perez, both graduates of Carpinteria High School. Leo preceded Christina in death in 1997. Their loving family grew to 6 grandchildren, 14 greatgrandchildren and 4 great-great-grandchildren, (who affectionately call her “Gi-Gi”), plus numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Christina spent her early working years in Carpinteria at the Lemon packing plant in Carpinteria and then was employed for many years at Cottage Hospital as a Nursing assistant in the Central Supply Department until her retirement. Christina had a passion for owers and delighted in her garden at the family home on Ogan Road. Friends and family always looked forward to her delicious Mexican feasts. Christina’s devotion to her Catholic faith was witnessed weekly at Saint Joseph Church. She was known for her sweet smile, and her kind and compassionate spirit. There will be a graveside service on Thursday, February 11, 2021 at 1:30pm at Carpinteria Cemetery, 1501 Cravens Lane, Carpinteria, CA. Rest in peace, dear Christina.
CRUICKSHANK, Scott E. Scott Eugene Cruickshank of Santa Barbara CA and McCall ID passed away on January 31, 2021; he was 58 years of age. Scott was born to Brian and Alice Cruickshank in Long Beach CA on December 26, 1962. He attended Burbank Elementary School, Jefferson Junior High School, and Woodrow Wilson High School, all in Long Beach CA. He earned his bachelor’s degree at UC Santa Barbara, graduating in 1988 with a double major in Mathematics and Economics, and went on to earn his Masters Degree in Statistics in 1990, also at UCSB. He later pursued doctoral studies in Biometry at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Scott worked briey at Systemetrics Inc., a division of McGraw-Hill, before coming to the biotechnology company Amgen Inc. in Thousand Oaks CA, where he worked from 1991 through 2001. From 2001 to the present he was Principal Statistician for his own consulting rm: Scott Cruickshank & Associates. Scott’s biostatistical career was primarily in anticancer and antiviral therapeutics. In the early days of Amgen, Scott participated in the development of several high-impact therapeutics including two that treat the complications of cancer chemotherapy. His work contributed to four successful FDA approvals for Amgen. As an independent consultant he guided dozens of small startup companies through the drug development and approval process, providing statistical leadership and infrastructure. One achievement in which he took great pride was co-authorship on a New England Journal of Medicine publication that reported on a ground-breaking advance in the treatment of a rare tumor with a high representation in children. He co-authored publications in other notable medical journals including Lancet Oncology, Journal of Clinical Oncology (in which he also served as a statistical reviewer for 16 years), Clinical Cancer Research, Blood, Cancer, Bone Marrow Transplantation, Neuro-Oncology, OncoImmunology, and Journal of Immunotherapy. He also served as statistician on several independent data monitoring committees. In every aspect of his work, Scott strived for accuracy, integrity, and honesty—both in the numerical data and in its representation. He was highly regarded by all with whom he worked. Scott loved the outdoors and selected several sports activities in which to excel. He played both basketball and baseball in high school and was a pitcher and rst baseman on the Woodrow Wilson High School Varsity baseball team. After high school he trained for the Ironman Triathlon, competing in August 1983 at the age of twenty. He was a competitive cyclist starting in 1984, continuing this activity for the rest of his life. He also engaged in Nordic cross-country skiing. Scott was a collector of various memorabilia and was an avid reader, amassing an extensive book collection; he particularly enjoyed biographies. The aggregate of Scott’s contributions to pharmaceutical research prolonged lives and increased the quality of life for countless individuals with cancer. His determined resolve in ghting his own rare form of pancreatic cancer ended peacefully, culminating a life dedicated to others. Scott was a loving son, husband, and father. He was preceded in death by his father Brian E. Cruickshank and his mother Alice Schomer Cruickshank.

were largely the same. “The Court orders California to weaken its restrictions on public gatherings by making a special exception for worship services,” Justice Kagan wrote in the dissenting opinion. “The majority does so even though the State’s policies treat worship just as favorably as secular activities that, according to medical evidence, pose the same risk of COVID transmission. “Under the Court’s injunction, the State must instead treat worship services like secular activities that pose a much lesser danger. That mandate defies our case law, exceeds our judicial role, and risks worsening the pandemic.”

“I really do look forward to the day that we can reopen our doors because I know there’s nothing that can fully replicate what it is for people to come and be together,” said Lindsey Black, executive director of Jodi House, which helps traumatic brain injury survivors. During the pandemic, the Santa Barbara nonprofit has moved its programs and support groups to online platforms.

odi House, a Santa Barbara nonprofit that empowers brain-injury survivors through community programs and case management services, has expanded its outreach with virtual classes. Katie, a San Bernardino County resident, lost friendships after a series of concussions. “I lost everybody because I
looked and sounded okay — to a point,” she said in a Jodi House video testimony. “It was like, ‘What is wrong with you?’ ” She struggled to find support in her county, so her speech therapist recommended Jodi House’s virtual classes offered during the COVID-19 pandemic. “When I heard everybody talking a little bit about their journey, for the first time I’m with people I can relate to, and I didn’t have to explain anything,” she said. “I cried, I mostly just cried. I
was just so happy to be connected with people who got it, who really understood.” Jodi House, at 625 Chapala St., helps survivors find a community and reintegrate after a traumatic brain injury. When it moved classes online, people from nearby counties were able to join. Some members were part of a support group in collaboration with Jodi House and St. Jude Brain Injury Network, based in Orange County. Many programs are available

The virtual programs provide 140 direct service hours each week in classes like yoga, Members began taking virtual field trips, like watching the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s virtual tour together. Jodi House’s classes focus on mindfulness meditation, communication, language,
cognitive strengthening and peer support. “What’s been so great about this portal that we’ve created is it has allowed people to customize and tailor services in a way that they couldn’t when they were just showing up Monday through Friday,” Lindsey Black, Jodi House’s executive director, told the News-Press. She hopes to provide the digital content even after Jodi House reopens its doors. Currently the state is reviewing a grant proposal
to fund the online resources. Jodi House also sends hands-on resources for survivors to try at home, away from the computer. “An important consideration for us is neuro fatigue and the fact that unlike the larger population, so many of our members cannot sit at a screen for two, three or four hours consistently all day,” she said.

Tips for celebrating Valentine’s Day during the pandemic
W
e needed the winter holidays. They were different for most of us this year, but we celebrated because, quite frankly, we needed to, and Valentine’s Day is no different — even if you don’t have a romantic partner. Right now, we need all the love we can get, and even if you’ve been a bit of an anti-Valentine’s person in the past, this year you may want to check out the multitude of activities online for singles as well as couples. If you aren’t in a loving relationship, you may want to ignore it completely, but that’s nearly impossible. Valentine’s Day has gone viral —they even celebrate it in Bhutan. If you want to be in a relationship and you’re alone, this day can be emotionally challenging. I suggest checking out the “Quirky Alone� crowd to see what they are up to. Given all the promotion that goes on, it’s wise to find some way of making the day at least tolerable, if you can,
and this group will help with that. I love romance, but I hate the commercialization of this holiday. Roses triple in price, and back when they could, most nice restaurants went with prix-fixe menus and multiple dinner seatings. It felt a bit like being on a heart-shaped conveyor belt. They got you in and out in time for the next group. Not very romantic. It isn’t happening much this year, and maybe that’s a good thing. For us, there will be flowers — orchids delivered from Costco or Trader Joe’s. My wife will cook something lovely, and she will really enjoy doing that as much as I’ll enjoy eating it. The house will be nicely lit by candlelight, and we will watch a rom-com or maybe some sci-fi, and we will keep the celebration vibe going. It’s not about what we eat, drink or do. It’s about celebrating our love and togetherness. Honoring your loving relationship, if you are fortunate to have one, is a very important part of nurturing it, so you can continue to enjoy being together, building on what you have and
making your union stronger. Relationships are like any other living thing: They need to grow. This year especially, it’s OK to turn down the heat on Valentine’s Day, but you can’t turn it off completely, unless as a couple you both agree. If you want to do your Cupid thing differently, that’s great. How you do it is completely up to you, but do remember that we are in the darkest days of a pandemic, and hosting a party or even going out to dinner is just not safe to do. Valentine’s Day is a couples’ thing anyway. You don’t need all those extra people. A homemade pandemic Valentine’s celebration may be just what the doctor ordered. Right now, I am very grateful that I have someone in my life who looks out for me and who does her best to always show me that I am loved. Who could ask for anything more?

activities such as playing drums or learning to cook healthy meals. Even members’ caregivers have connected. “What you see here on our social events and in our community gatherings is there is this network of family, friends and caregivers who really rally around their loved ones that show up at Jodi House — whether it’s to pick them up or drop them off — and have formed these support channels for one another since their realities looks so different after such a life-changing injury,â€? Ms. Black said. She said family members are often the first ones to contact Jodi House. They call to find resources and get referrals as they navigate a loved one’s injury. Jodi House has continued its advisory role, helping caregivers navigate COVID19 precautions and assisting survivors applying for social security benefits. For survivors, Jodi House becomes a partner during their journey. “Really at the heart of the organization has always been to combat isolation,â€? Ms. Black said. “So for COVID to come and basically render all of our members unable or really cautioned against leaving their homes ‌ it’s been hard.â€? Sharing experiences have helped survivors overcome isolation, a feeling they had before lockdowns and health orders. “One of our members said, they hope when COVID is over that everyone will remember their friends with brain injury because these are feelings that they live with on a regular basis,â€? Ms. Black said. Jodi House isn’t a program to graduate from or physical rehabilitation. It’s a home base for people on a journey to acclimate after a brain injury. “I really do look forward to the day that we can reopen our doors because I know there’s nothing that can fully replicate what it is for people to come and be together,â€? Ms. Black said. “But for our members, I think so much of the isolation that they’ve faced prior to Jodi House has to do with feeling as if people don’t understand what they’re going through, and so the power of peer support has always been central to our program model . And it’s this idea that you can come here, whether it’s online or in person, and be with people who have that shared lived experience.â€?
A picture of Jodi Wustman sits in Jodi House. When she was 19, she was hit by a drunk driver and suffered a traumatic brain injury. She felt isolated, so her parents formed Jodi House to have a community of survivors.

in the air, especially in your life at home. Ignore those people who try to provoke you. Don’t get involved in conflicts that could degenerate into fights. Go somewhere to be alone. Reenergize by really listening to your desires, feelings, and instincts. Why not spend the afternoon in a museum, for example? SCORPIO — If people say that you’re stubborn when you’re just determined, let them talk, Scorpio, and do what you need to do. However, when you think you’re being determined but you’re actually being obstinate, you may want to listen to the people around you. They don’t tell you to calm down because they’re jealous of you but because they care about you. They may not know that you hate to lose. SAGITTARIUS — It’s time to face up to certain things about yourself that you may have denied for some time, Sagittarius. You have only yourself to answer to, so relax. You aren’t the first one to have to deal with old issues that probably aren’t as shameful as you think. You don’t have to be proud of them. You can’t keep hiding them from yourself. This could cause more problems than dealing with them once and for all. CAPRICORN — It scares you when life seems like it’s slipping through your fingers and you can’t slow it down. But it isn’t life that’s playing tricks on you. You aren’t seeing things as clearly as you should be. You feel a little left out, but don’t worry. You’re just out of energy. Try and think of this empty feeling inside as a kind of purification or a much-needed break from everything. AQUARIUS — When you were younger, your humanity and generosity seemed limitless. You felt very involved in the world and what was going wrong with it. Today you may remember these great dreams. It may be time to make some of those dreams come true. It would be especially beneficial to you if you could somehow connect this to the work you do for a living. It’s never too late to make a dream come true. PISCES — You’ve always been sensitive to the pain of an unhappy childhood, Pisces. Today you can no longer stand the thought of all those children living in misery, victims of war or other atrocities. And this becomes especially painful when you take a look at the happy children full of joy around you. You may think that it’s time for you to do something about it. You may be right.

HOROSCOPE
ARIES — You and your friends may have been planning a party for some time. Now you realize it’s entirely up to you to actually make things happen, Aries. It seems that if you’re going to get anywhere, you need to take charge and delegate responsibility. You like to be in this position. Your great creative mind could give you a load of ideas for a party that no one will forget. TAURUS — Luck is finally on your side, Taurus. And you deserve it, because you really worked hard to get these results in your life. In astrology, as in life, you can’t succeed just by sheer luck. Success is often the result of a lot of energy you expend or something you may have changed on the inside. So continue to give off the positive energy that’s responsible for your success. GEMINI — The stars are pushing you to accept more responsibility in your life. In fact, you may not think you can do it, but everything will work out just fine. At the moment, you seem to have a special gift for leading other people, making decisions, and doing whatever is necessary to finish up group projects. It’s too bad - you really underestimate yourself! CANCER — You seem to have the bad habit of putting off until tomorrow what you can do today, Cancer, especially those little daily things that seem to pile up, like writing letters, paying bills, getting a health checkup, or cleaning the house. However, today is a great day to deal with these monotonous tasks, so seize the moment. LEO — When you least expect it, success comes into your life. You can say goodbye to the dreariness of daily routine, fears, and changing moods. You’re now entering a period of wonderful good luck and success. All this comes despite the fact that sometimes you might lack confidence in yourself. That doesn’t matter anymore, because success is on your side from now on. VIRGO — Life just seems to be smiling on you at the moment, Virgo. Some sort of mystical force has entered your life and is enriching your contact and with other people. It allows you to make a success of anything you undertake. Luck is really on your side, and you’re on cloud nine. Have you made friends with the angels up there yet?

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.

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.
