State to expand vaccine eligibility Residents 50 and up eligible April 1, 16 and up April 15 By MADISON HIRNEISEN

county public health director, said in a statement. “Locally we have seen a promising increase in our vaccine supply, and Public Health is ready to welcome community members newly eligible for vaccination.” In addition, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Thursday that the state will expand its vaccine eligibility in the coming weeks, unveiling plans to open vaccine appointments to residents ages 50 and older starting April 1 and all residents ages 16 and older April 15. The governor, who spoke from a vaccine clinic in Orange County on Thursday, said the expansion of vaccine eligibility is coming due to an influx of doses set to arrive in the state in the coming weeks.

NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

Hope is on the horizon for Santa Barbara County residents aged 50 and older as both county-wide and state-wide vaccine expansions will accommodate this age group in the next eligibility tier. The Public Health Department announced Thursday that county residents aged 50 and older can now register for a vaccine clinic at Lompoc’s Dick DeWees Community and Senior Center, which will occur Sunday through April 3. “We are very excited to expand eligibility to more community members, beginning with the County Public Health Vaccination Clinics,” Dr. Van Do-Reynoso,

“In just a few weeks, there will be no rules or no limitations as it relates to the ability to get a vaccine administered,” Gov. Newsom said. During his speech, the governor also announced that, as of Thursday, anyone accompanying an eligible family member to get vaccinated can also receive a dose at the appointment. “Regardless of your age, regardless of your pre-existing condition, if someone comes in eligible under the existing rules, but with a family member, we will accommodate the family member, no questions asked,” Gov. Newsom said. As of Thursday, statewide allocations neared 16 million doses, which Gov. Newsom said pushes

California ahead of any other state by almost 6 million doses. The state received 1.8 million doses of the vaccine this week, yet Gov. Newsom said the state’s allocation will be nearing 2.5 million doses per week in a few weeks. With coronavirus cases steadily decreasing locally and statewide since vaccinations began in the state, Gov. Newsom said counties could start moving into the green tier, or restriction-free status, in the “foreseeable future.” “Our only constraint is manufactured supply,” Gov. Newsom said, praising the state’s increased infrastructure that is already ready to handle 4 million doses a week by the end of next Please see VACCINE on A6

Local to compete on Ellen’s game show

Carbajal tours border facility Congressman says immigation system is ‘broken’ on all fronts

USCB staffer to be featured on ‘Ellen’s Game of Games’

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

When she had to go get fitted for a harness, Erin Nerstad realized just what she was getting herself into. The associate director of UCSB’s Interdisciplinary Humanities Center will be featured this Sunday on NBC’s “Ellen’s Game of Games,” hosted by multi-award-winning TV host, producer, writer, actress and Montecito resident Ellen Degeneres. Mrs. Nerstad competed against three other contestants in the game show’s “See Ya Later, Alligator” minigame, which required them to solve pictograms, and if they correctly did so, choose an opponent to eliminate. She laughed as she referred to sending other contestants home as “pretty terrible.” “Having to eliminate someone was a bummer because you just met everyone and everyone’s really nice,” Mrs. Nerstad told the News-Press. “But I was pleased that I was put on a puzzle solving game. I feel like I was able to compete in that — I think if they had put me on one of the other games, it would not have gone so well.” While the local game show contestant wasn’t able to spoil the results on who won the big cash prize of up to $100,000, she did offer the following: “I am pleased with how everything went … I felt like I was able to participate well and use my problem solving skills.” Mrs. Nerstad has lived in Santa Barbara for almost four years, and is married with two daughters, ages 9 and 5 years old. She’s new to the game show scene, and started her journey with her sister-in-law when they attended a taping of the “Ellen Show” in March 2020, just prior to the pandemic. After the taping, the two women did a 30-second audition tape, and Mrs. Nerstad was chosen for “Ellen’s Game of Games.” However, up until the

day of the episode’s taping, she was convinced she was simply an alternate. “I was thinking that maybe I was just kind of along for the ride,” Mrs. Nerstad said. “I don’t know why, but when I got there, I actually saw my name on my station where I was going to stand and it sort of all sunk in … You’re so full of adrenaline and then out comes Ellen and you’re just thinking, ‘Oh, it’s really happening. I’m on Ellen’s Game of Games.’” The game show features several wacky minigames, using all kinds of equipment including bungee cords, blindfolds, cannons, balloons, shaving cream, slime, umbrellas, toothpaste and,

was seeing how they make the show,” Mrs. Nerstad said. “It’s pretty impressive, all the different layers of planning and different divisions or departments of people with different types of expertise.” While the players and host had to remain fairly socially distanced because of COVID-19, the Santa Barbara resident said she did get to briefly chat with Ms. Degeneres before the taping, which she described as “surreal.” However, she laughed as she said one letdown was, “I didn’t get the ‘Ellen hug’ that a lot of people get to have.” The contestant added that she did plenty of research prior Please see GAME SHOW on A6

Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, visited a border facility in Texas for unaccompanied migrant children and said of the situation: “One could characterize it as a crisis.”

The other 10% to 20% of children will be transferred to another foster care facility. “The two things that are needed are getting more beds stood up and more staffing so that they can provide a more orderly process by which these children can be processed and not be bottlenecked from the initial intake,” Rep. Carbajal said. He added, “It’s my understanding that the majority of those reaching our borders are coming through the Texas area, but I believe there are some on the California border.” In response to a question from the News-Press, Rep. Carbajal addressed the fact that the White House has been requesting limited media access to these facilities, saying more transparency is needed. “I would echo that and I have echoed that to the administration,” he said. “Let’s make no mistake about it — it (the situation at the border) was in shambles. This facility was stood up, I think on the 19th or the 20th of February. It’s taken Please see CARBAJAL on A6

indeed, harnesses. Contestants are selected to play in one of four preliminary games, and the winner of each game advances to the semi-final round to play “Know or Go,” where players stand on trap doors and drop down a chute if they answer incorrectly. Then, the last contestant standing advances to “Hotter Hands,” the final round where the individual has one minute to answer a series of questions. Each correct answer increases the winnings, but each incorrect answer requires them to start over. The cash prizes range from $1,000 to $100,000. “One of the things I really appreciated about the process

U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, said the difference between the U.S.Mexico border facilities under the Trump administration versus under the Biden administration now is “night and day.” On Wednesday, the congressman, along with other lawmakers and White House officials, toured the Carrizo Spring Influx Care Facility in Texas, which is being used by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to temporarily house unaccompanied migrant children. Only one news reporter from NBC was able to enter the facility with the delegation, per the request of the White House. Rep. Carbajal held a press conference Thursday to share his experience at the facility and field media questions. When he was asked if he would call the situation at the border a crisis, Rep. Carbajal said, “I think it’s very similar, at least as we saw in the previous few years in the last administration. I think one can characterize it as a crisis if one wants to because of the need to make sure the children are not bottlenecked in our processing facilities.” The Biden administration has yet to refer to the situation on the border as a crisis. The Texas facility provides a place to stay for unaccompanied minors 13 to 17 years of age. The congressman said 766 children were at the facility on Wednesday, and he was informed that the capacity is 952 children in hard-sided structures. He added that more 80% of the children that are currently placed in the HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement facilities, including Carrizo, are in the process of being unified because they have a family member or parent that’s available to provide that unification.

Man arrested in robbery SANTA BARBARA — A man was arrested Thursday afternoon in downtown Santa Barbara and is accused of stealing a gaming console from the GameStop store in Paseo Nuevo, police said. The incident occurred around 1 p.m. Thursday. A man entered the store and got in a verbal altercation with the cashier. The two allegedly got into a tug of war over the gaming console and the suspect eventually pushed the cashier to the ground and fled the store with the console without paying, Lt. Joshua Morton, spokesman for the Santa Barbara Police Department, told the NewsPress in an email. The cashier followed the suspect out of the store to attempt to stop the suspect and was “subsequently physically assaulted by the suspect,” Lt. Morton said. Officers responded and, with the help of witnesses, located the suspect fleeing the scene and he was taken into custody near the intersection of Canon Perdido and Chapala streets. The stolen item was recovered in the suspect’s possession, Lt. Morton said. The investigation was ongoing Thursday and the suspect’s name was not released. — Mitchell White

Court rules in favor of SB Unified

Head-on collision results in fatality

SANTA BARBARA — The California Court of Appeal has ruled in favor of the Santa Barbara Unified School District in the lawsuit filed by former San Marcos High School principal Ed Behrens. The district announced the ruling on Thursday, citing a 15page opinion issued by a threejudge panel, which upheld the lower court judgement of the Santa Barbara Superior Court. Mr. Behrens sued the district after the Board of Education approved his re-assignment from principal to a teaching assignment in March 2018. The panel’s decision rejected all claims made in the appeal, according to officials. “We are thankful that the court has ruled in favor of the district on all fronts in the Behren’s case,” Hilda Maldonado, superintendent of the Santa Barbara Unified School District, said in a statement. “We are naturally pleased that this matter has been brought to a successful conclusion.” The lawsuit alleged that Mr. Behren’s reassignment was in violation of his constitutional rights and unlawful retaliation. Craig Price, legal counsel for the district, said the ruling “reaffirms the right of a school district to reassign a principal without cause.”

SANTA BARBARA — One person was killed and another suffered major injuries in a head-on collision Thursday morning on State Route 154 near Lake Cachuma, authorities said. The collision was reported around 3:50 a.m. just east of the lake. The preliminary investigation indicates the driver of the Toyota, a 39-yearold man from Ventura, was traveling west on the 154 and made an unsafe turning movement, crossed over the double yellow lines and traveled into the path of a Dodge. The vehicles collided head on and the driver of the Toyota was declared dead at the scene, according to the California Highway Patrol. The driver of the Dodge, 34-year-old Ernest Gilbert, of Santa Barbara, suffered major injuries in the collision and was transported to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, the CHP said. It was unknown if alcohol or drugs were a factor in the collision, the cause of which remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact Officer Rodgers at the Buellton-area CHP office at 805-688-5551.

Santa Barbara County residents have had to wave goodbye to many of their favorite, decades-old small businesses over the course of the pandemic. Some of the most sorrowful goodbyes included Plum Goods, Enterprise Fish Co., Beachside Bar-Cafe, Chuck’s Waterfront Grill, Dutch Garden and, in a few days, Mercury Lounge. Although some restrictions were lifted for businesses upon the county’s transition into the red tier, many mom and pop shops are still struggling to stay afloat. Kristen Miller, CEO of the South Coast Chamber of Commerce, said that the fact that many are still struggling isn’t all that shocking. “The loss of so many local businesses and restaurants is devastating for our community,” she told the News-Press. “The pandemic and subsequent economic crisis has been going on for over a year and it isn’t surprising that some businesses can’t hang on much longer. The community has worked hard to support our local businesses, but there are forces out of our control.” The CEO said the chamber is continuing to urge government officials to support a broader reopening with guidelines outlined in its Roadmap to Recovery, but until more customers feel comfortable going out and supporting small businesses, recovery is tough. “Businesses need customers to survive. The lack of in-person customers is detrimental,” Ms. Miller said. Outdoor dining has been the saving grace for restaurants, but she said that personal services continue to be hit hard, along with the hospitality industry which obviously struggles with travel restrictions. In addition, she said, “The event planning industry — from corporate to wedding — continues to have little to no guidance on when small events can resume. Our partners at Visit Santa Barbara have been working diligently on creating guidelines

Regarding the recent closures of a few more small businesses in Santa Barbara County, Kristen Miller, CEO of the South Coast Chamber of Commerce, said, “Businesses need customers to survive. The lack of in-person customers is detrimental.”

for small group meetings and events, but there is no consensus on when these gatherings may be able to happen and this industry is struggling.” In addition, she said the lack of business travel, small group meetings and people working in offices has led to a domino effect on industries such as caterers, florists, event planners and farmers. It’s a little early to see how much President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan has helped these industries, Ms. Miller said, but the chamber is supportive of all economic relief and champions increased PPP funding. She said those funds have helped many businesses in Santa Barbara County. That being said, Ms. Miller added, “Loans and grants cannot replace a steady flow of customers.” Looking to the future, she said the process for receiving many grants has been difficult for businesses, so in the event of

another relief package from the federal government, she’d like to see a streamlined system for awarding grant funds and more support for the event planning industry and personal services. Overall, Santa Barbara County’s businesses simply need their customers back. “The South Coast is dependent on visitors and we need to welcome them back to visit safely,” Ms. Miller said. “The chamber operates two visitor centers in downtown Santa Barbara and our centers have become much more than just standard tourist information — they have become a hub for safety information, updates on changing regulations and a key force in letting visitors know what is open and how to visit safely. “Our businesses want to be part of the solution and if they are allowed to operate safely they will help lead our economic recovery.”

JaQuori McLaughlin, who led UCSB to its first NCAA Tournament berth in a decade, has been named to the CollegeInsider.com All-America team and as a finalist for the Lou Henson National Mid-Major Player of the Year Award.

on the torch of playmaker to Calvin Wishart, a Georgia Southern transfer who sat out this season as a redshirt. “He’s super-crafty and smart, and a great finisher around the rim,” McLaughlin said. “I know we also have some really good freshmen coming in, too. It shows a great future for the Gauchos and Gaucho nation.” email: mpatton@newspress.com

brothers for life.” McLaughlin, the son of a coach, won the Mr. Basketball Award for high school basketball in the state of Washington before signing with Oregon State. He played one season for the Beavers, setting the freshman record for three-pointers, before transferring to UCSB. It’s a decision he’s never regretted. “It was definitely worthwhile, having the opportunity to go to UCSB and be around these teammates and coaches and staff,” he said. “I had some great professors and advisors, and a great trainer in Jackson Smidt and, when I got here, a great strength coach in Eric Schmitt. “I’m really grateful for the support system I’ve had here. The whole Gaucho community was great, and they all welcomed me with open arms. I felt a real family atmosphere.” He finished work on his sociology degree last quarter and will walk graduation this June. His stock has skyrocketed recently in NBA front offices although he has yet to be listed in any of the mock drafts. “I’m talking to agents but I’ve made no decision yet — I’m going to be patient with who I go with,” he said. Pasternack, who has been busy on the recruiting trail ever since he left Indianapolis, admits that it will be difficult to fill McLaughlin’s shoes. “We have to find that one guy, the right guy, to replace JaQuori,” he said. “He’s been our leader this entire year.” But McLaughlin feels that he’s left the team in good hands. “They have some great players coming back with Ajare (Sanni) and Josh (Pierre-Louis), and of course with Amadou (Sow) and Miles Norris,” he said. “If Robinson (Idehen) comes back, they’ll have even more great players.” And he feels good about passing

One of the strangest basketball seasons also became one of the most successful for UCSB and Gaucho senior JaQuori McLaughlin. “It definitely was a different experience,” he said, “playing this whole season under the threat of COVID and without any fans in the stands … and then with how far we went as a team.” But that made it an appropriate season, as well, for a player who finally emerged into the national spotlight after so much toil in solitude. McLaughlin, who received Associated Press All-America honorable mention earlier this month, received more national recognition this week when CollegeInsider.com named him to its All-America Team. It also listed him as a finalist for the Lou Henson Mid-Major National Player of the Year Award. The winner will be announced on April 1. “He can shoot the three, he can drive the ball, he’s got an unbelievable pull-up jumper, he can defend the best player on the other team,” UCSB coach Joe Pasternack said of his 6-foot-4 playmaker. “And what many people don’t know about him is how much he loves the game. He’s consumed with the game. “He doesn’t party. He doesn’t care about anything else except being an NBA player, and I really believe that he will be one.” McLaughlin, the Big West Conference Player of the Year as well as its Tournament MVP, ranked among the league leaders in scoring (16.0 points per game), assists (5.2) and steals (1.5). He was one of the conference’s best shooters overall (48.8%), from the three-point line (40.8%), and from the free-throw line (83.2%). Those numbers were big parts of

the equation in the 22-5 record compiled by a Gaucho team that won both the Big West regular season and tournament championships. “It is what I expected from the team that we had, with the new guys we got, the guys we already had, and the chemistry we had,” he said. “During the first practice, I could tell how great our team could be. “We set those goals before we started out on the season and I was confident we could complete them.” But the number in which he took some of the most pride was a 0: UCSB’s number of positive COVID-19 cases and canceled games. He and fellow co-captain Devearl Ramsey had their teammates, coaches and staff all sign a contract in which they vowed to socially distance themselves from others. “I feel we gave it our all every day in practice, just coming prepared and being willing to fight for the guy next to you,” McLaughlin said. “That was especially true off the court with COVID, and with the statement that the players and coaches signed. “We gave it our all, and I’m proud of my teammates for that. Things didn’t go our way at the end, but we have a lot to be proud about as a team.” The 12th-seeded Gauchos lost a 63-62 heartbreaker to fifth-seeded Creighton in Saturday’s first round of the NCAA Tournament when a last-second shot rimmed out of the basket at Lucas Oil Arena in Indianapolis. But it diminished nothing in McLaughlin’s mind. “It’s been a great season for me and my teammates,” he said. “We started in the summer on Zooms, on the tennis courts. We put in a lot of work as a team, so it was great to get to that point. “It didn’t end like we wanted it to, but I love this team. They’ll be my

Jensen’s jolts launch Westmont to doubleheader sweep By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

John Jensen was just a single short of the cycle while igniting Westmont College to a sweep of San Diego Christian in a Golden State Athletic Conference baseball doubleheader at Russ Carr Field on Thursday. Jensen, a former Santa Barbara High and Santa Barbara City College star, hit a two-run double in the second inning, a triple in the fourth, and a two-run home run in

the eighth inning — his 10th of the season — to power the Warriors to an 11-2 victory in the opener. Westmont (18-13, 11-7 GSAC) also won the nightcap, 13-4, to draw within one game of second-place Hope International and three games of Vanguard. Simon Reid, last week’s GSAC Player of the Week, stayed hot by going 6-for-10 with three doubles in the two games. Daniel Netz hit solo homers in both games. “Netz really started to put together

John Jensen hit a home run, triple and double in the first game of Westmont College’s double-header sweep over San Diego Christian on Thursday.

some quality at bats last weekend,” Westmont coach Robert Ruiz said. “He’s been working hard to be the best version of himself. “Consistency has been a goal for him, and I think he’s carried consistency over for a couple weeks now.” Westmont starter Chad Stoner (3-1) got the pitching win while giving up just one earned run and striking out six in five innings. Three relievers combined for four shutout innings. Eric Oseguera, who had been sidelined with arm trouble for more than two years, made his season debut by retiring the side in order in the sixth. “It’s been a long journey for (Oseguera) and I’m super-excited for him,” Ruiz said. “He’s worked really hard to get here so today was special for him just getting back on the mound, it was awesome to see him have success.” Brady Renck hit a double and his first career homer during the opener. Renn Duncan hit a two-run homer in the nightcap, with Will Andersen (2-2) earning the pitching win. Warriors crush Hope in volleyball Fourth-ranked Westmont took a frosh approach to its sweep of a women’s volleyball double-header against Hope International at Murchison Gym. “It was great to see all our freshmen get playing time,” coach Ruth McGolpin said. “It was fun to see that the future of Westmont volleyball will continue to stay bright.”

The Warriors (9-0, 6-0 GSAC) won the opener 25-15, 25-15, 25-22 and the nightcap by a 25-15, 25-20, 2521 score. Jessie Terlizzi was “a highlight … She was on fire in both matches,” McGolpin said. The 6-foot freshman pounded 13 kills from the right side in each match to the tune of a .434 hitting percentage. Three other freshmen contributed, with Jordan Cusator and Phoebe Minch combining for 17 kills and Lilian Reininga getting 26 digs. Senior outside hitter Hali Galloway had eight kills and an attack percentage of .313 in the first match. Sophomore middle Lexi Malone matched Terlizzi’s 13 kills in the second contest while hitting .542. Westmont wins with late goal Westmont College out-shot Hope International 18-6 but didn’t break through until the final minutes for its 1-0 women’s soccer road win. Reese Davidson scored off Grace Hotaling’s assist with just 5:18 remaining as the Warriors (4-3, 4-0 GSAC) remained undefeated in league play. Westmont took nine shots on goal to just two by Hope. Warrior goalkeepers Charlotte Chipembere and Gabi Haw had one save apiece. Westmont’s men’s soccer team was tied 1-1 against Hope as of Thursday’s deadline. email: mpatton@newspress.com

The proposed project involves the conversion of the garage into a home office. The garage is three-feet from the interior property line making it legally nonconforming to the required five-foot interior setback. The discretionary application under the jurisdiction of the Staff Hearing Officer required for this project is a Modification to allow the conversions of non-habitable space to habitable space within the non-conforming interior setback. The Environmental Analyst has determined that the project is exempt from further environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15303 which allows for the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor modifications are made in the exterior of the structure.

The discretionary application under the jurisdiction of the Staff Hearing Officer required for this project is a Front Setback Modification to allow for new floor area, alterations, and new doorway openings within the front setback (SBMC Table 30.20.030 and SBMC §30.250.030.B).

The subject parcel is zoned E3/S-D-3 (one-family residence and coastal overlay zone) and is located in the Non-Appealable Jurisdiction of the Coastal Zone. The discretionary application required for this project is a Coastal Development Permit (CDP2020-00021) to allow the proposed development in the Non-Appealable Jurisdiction of the city’s coastal zone (SBMC §28.44.060). The project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines §15303. Pursuant to SBMC §28.44.110, and in accordance with Government Code §65852.2, when a proposed development in the coastal zone involves the addition of a detached ADU to an existing single-family residence, the application shall be reviewed by the SHO without a public hearing. The SHO shall not issue a decision on the application until at least ten (10) calendars days after notice has been provided to the public. The SHO may receive and consider written comments from the public, but without a public hearing. The SHO decision will be the final action of the City PROJECT LOCATION: 114 LA MARINA DRIVE, ZONE: E-3/SD-3, LAND USE DESIGNATION: RESIDENTIAL - 5 DU/AC, APN: 045-222-020; PLN2020-00456; APPLICANT/OWNER: KLAUS OBERMEYER; DATE FILED: SEPTEMBER 3, 2020 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project consists of a proposal to construct a 670-square-foot, two-story detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) pursuant to California Government Code §65852.2. No parking is required for the ADU. The existing 1,230-square-foot one-story residence and 192-square-foot garage would remain on the 6,494-square-foot parcel. The discretionary application required for this project is a Coastal Development Permit (CDP2021-00001) to allow the proposed development in the Appealable Jurisdiction of the City’s Coastal Zone (SBMC §28.44.060). The project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines §15303. Pursuant to SBMC §28.44.110, and in accordance with Government Code §65852.2, when a proposed development involves the addition of an ADU to an existing single-family residence, the application shall be reviewed by the SHO without a public hearing. The SHO shall not issue a decision on the application until at least ten (10) calendars days after notice has been provided to the public. The SHO may receive and consider written comments from the public, but without a public hearing. The decision will be the final action of the City. This project was previously considered and approved by the Staff Hearing Officer on February 24, 2021. However, the public notice and staff report inaccurately identified the project site as being located in the Non-Appealable Jurisdiction, rather than the Appealable Jurisdiction of the Coastal Zone, which necessitated a re-notice of the project.

The project also includes approximately 66 square feet of covered porches. The ADU would have a “studio” floor plan configuration with a maximum height of approximately 10.5 feet. The discretionary application required for this project is a Coastal Development Permit (CDP2020-00022) to allow the proposed development in the Non-Appealable Jurisdiction of the City’s Coastal Zone. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt from further environmental review under Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Pursuant to SBMC §28.44.110, and in accordance with Government Code §65852.2, when a proposed development in the coastal zone involves the addition of a detached ADU to an existing single-family residence, the application shall be reviewed by the SHO without a public hearing.

that long to shore up a lot of these facilities. No action was taken until the last two months. “I think they’re just running 100 miles an hour to set up these facilities and that’s been their focus, but I believe, obviously, the more transparency and the more access by the media is always healthy. I think it’s just important to remind everyone that they’re doing the best they can with what they inherited, which was chaotic at best.” Rep. Carbajal described the state of the Carrizo facility by comparing it to the Tornillo facility in El Paso, Tx., he visited in 2018 during Donald Trump’s presidency. He called Tornillo a “tent city” upon his visit. The biggest differences the congressman listed between Carrizo and Tornillo included: a hardscape dormitory versus tents; better restrooms; more “robust communication”; medical physicals provided within the first 48 hours of childrens’ facility versus what he believed to be a lack thereof at Tornillo; a full education program versus just an education assessment; background checks for all staff that he doesn’t believe occurred at Tornillo; the opportunity for him to speak to the children, which he was not afforded last time (but he broke protocol anyway); and no separation of children from their parents, among others. He added, though, that the majority of the children, and adults, coming in this wave are alone. Rep. Carbajal spoke to some of the children at the Carrizo facility on Wednesday, and while he said that he and his colleagues were advised not to ask too much to avoid triggering difficult emotions, the congressman just asked how they’re doing, how they’re being treated, what their mental and physical health is like and if they’re getting the services they need. “I was heartened to hear, overwhelmingly, everybody say that they liked all the services and the food and everything being provided,” Rep. Carbajal said. “I really pressed them and said, ‘Can you name one thing you don’t

like?’ And I didn’t hear one answer in the negative. “I did ask them, ‘What made you take this dangerous journey to come here?’ And they all said two things: ‘To get a better education’ and ‘To pursue a better way of life.’ I think the better way of life is synonymous with what most immigrants who have come to our country since the inception of the country (have said), keeping with that tradition.” Minors are only allowed to spend 72 hours at the facilities, though news reports and the congressman said this standard is not being met. NPR reported last week that hundreds of the young migrants have spent more than 240 hours at the facilities. In addition, there was a 30% increase in minors being held at these facilities in just one week. “The system is being overwhelmed,” Rep. Carbajal said. “They need to address those bottlenecks in these facilities as soon as possible. And no children should be held in any type of facility longer than they need to be. That’s always a concern. We need to do everything possible to be humane and to process these children and make sure they get into a better environment.” The Biden administration notified Congress on Wednesday that it will open a new 3,000-person facility in San Antonio and a 1,400-person site at the San Diego convention center strictly for women. HHS is opening a second site in Carrizo Springs and exploring housing teenagers at military bases in San Antonio and El Paso, according to the Associated Press. “The fact of the matter is: we have a broken immigration system on all fronts. The policies that pertain to these particular young people coming to the border is also broken. We need to fix that as soon as possible,” Rep. Carbajal said. “The Biden administration has been in place for two months trying to put up a system that was dismantled by the previous administration. And that doesn’t mean this administration doesn’t need to move quicker, smarter and expedite things. That’s the message I have been giving the administration as well.” email: gmccormick@newspress. com

Vons Pharmacy in Montecito is one of many chain locations distributing the COVID-19 vaccine across the state. In Santa Barbara County, Vons Pharmacy, CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreens are among the major pharmacy chains participating in the vaccine rollout efforts.

Continued from Page A1 month. With vaccines taking a trickledown effect from the federal government, the influx in the state comes from expanded efforts by the White House to ramp up production and distribution. President Joe Biden held his first press conference as commander-in-chief Thursday, announcing that his administration set a new goal of administering 200 million vaccine doses by his 100th day in office. The administration met its initial goal of 100 million doses by his 58th day in office. “I know it’s ambitious — twice our original goal — but no other country in the world has even come close, not even close, to what we’re doing,” President Biden said during the press conference. In conjunction with the efforts of health departments nationwide, pharmacies like CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid and Vons have taken a leading role in disseminating the vaccine from its chain stores. In California, 286 CVS locations are currently distributing the vaccine, with 119 new CVS vaccination sites added just last week. Lisa Kalajian, a district leader for CVS Health based in Los Angeles, said the company’s efforts have been “extremely successful.” “As you can imagine, everyone has been extremely eager to receive their vaccine, and the feedback has been very positive,” Ms. Kalajian told the News-Press.

However, she said she quickly learned the rules and how to decipher a sentence out of pictures and emojis. In addition, COVID-19 prohibited an audience from watching the show, which Mrs. Nerstad said probably calmed her nerves more. “You feel like you’re performing, but not for anyone,” she said. “The expectation is everyone’s going to be watching you, but no one is watching you.” But, in a matter of days, many will get the chance to watch her shine on the popular television program.

LUCAS, Mary Susan After a long struggle with Alzheimer’s Disease, Susan Lucas passed peacefully on the morning of March 21, 2021. Mary Susan Lucas was born on September 13, 1951 at Seaside Hospital in Long Beach, California. She grew up in Downey, California, the oldest of 4 children of James and Dorothy Ricketts. She attended Rancho Santa Gertrudes Elementary School, East Junior High School and Downey High School. Lifetime friends were made in Blue Birds and Camp Fire Girls. Growing up, Sundays were spent with the family at the Methodist Church in the morning, with paternal grandparents at their beach house in Alamitos Bay in the afternoon, and at “supper” with her maternal grandparents in Long Beach. Susan was a full-blown Beatlemaniac, and got to see the Beatles twice at the Hollywood Bowl, the second time from front row seats! She met her future husband, Gene Lucas, in the 8th grade, invited him to a Johnny Mathis concert the following summer, and despite an on-and-off start, they were a steady couple by the 11th grade. Susan attended Cerritos Junior College, getting her AA in English with a Spanish minor before joining Gene at UC Santa Barbara. They married in 1972 before their senior year, and she graduated with a BA in English. They then moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts for Gene’s graduate studies at MIT. While Gene attended grad school, Susan worked first as a receptionist/secretary for a soils engineering firm, then as a secretary in the MIT Provost’s office, then as an administrative officer for a team of biologists working on recombinant DNA at MIT. She bore their first son during their last year at MIT. They returned to Santa Barbara after Gene graduated from MIT with his doctorate, and moved back to Santa Barbara in 1978 for Gene to begin his career as an assistant professor at UC Santa Barbara. They had two more boys in their first 4 years in Santa Barbara, and while Gene pursued his academic career Susan raised the three boys. But this mom also served as a Den Leader for each of the three boys in Cub Scouts, co-president of the PTA at Kellogg elementary school, secretarial gigs to two different lawyers, and secretary and office manager for Cambridge Drive Community Church, which they joined in 1982. She also mothered Luca, a foreign exchange student from Italy, in his senior year at the boys’ high school. In his last 11 years at UC Santa Barbara, Gene had become the Executive Vice Chancellor for the campus, raising Susan to the status of UCSB’s Second Lady. Throughout her life, Susan was an organizer and a planner. She had a big, beautiful smile and an even bigger heart. She maintained correspondence with many, many friends and all the relatives. She loved music (especially the Beatles), family, dancing, camping, hiking, parties, walking, sewing, scrap booking, photos, traveling, sea glass, heart-shaped rocks, chocolate and cheese. A tragic fall a year after Gene’s retirement led to a traumatic brain injury, from which she did not fully recover before dementia set in. She spent the last years of her life in Gene’s care and then as a resident of the memory care facility at Villa Alamar. Susan is preceded in death by her father and mother, her brother-in-law Steve Rietfors, and her nephew Jordan Smith. She is survived by her husband, her three sons, Kelly, Ryan and Shannon Lucas and their families, her sisters Patti Rietfors and Carolyn Smith, her brother Randy Ricketts and their families and her grandchildren Kier, Camden, Ashlan, and Ezra. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. A memorial service will be announced when large congregant gatherings are safe again. Donations to the Alzheimer’s Association in her memory would be greatly appreciated.

Mayor’s lifelong journey

Carpinteria’s Wade Nomura talks about community service and more in ‘Creating Destiny’

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

ade Nomura has lived a life of adventure. The Carpinteria mayor has done everything from winning BMX races to going around the world on trips that made a difference. The longtime landscaper — yes, he’s done that too — talks about all of that in “Creating Destiny.” The new self-published autobiography is selling for $29.95 at wadenomura.com/book. By the way, the website mentions the mayor’s 19 years in Rotary, the 15 countries he has spoken in and 50 international project trips. Mr. Nomura has been busy, and he has a story to tell. “I’ve been planning to write an autobiography that would be passed down to my kids, a glimpse of history that you could keep and hand down from generation to generation,” Mr. Nomura, 67, told the News-Press this week. “But my wife Debbie decided, ‘This is a story you should be telling everybody.’ ” Mr. Nomura, a Santa Barbara native, said his wife helped him greatly in trimming a 700-page manuscript to approximately 250 pages with “a focus on inspiring others to lead a life of service.” He praised her for working with him on “Creating Destiny.” “The components of the book are growing, living and giving,” he said. The mayor’s story begins with his family and the internment of parents, William and Kathleen Nomura, and his grandparents in Poston, Ariz., during World War II. They were among the 100,000-plus Japanese Americans who were interned. Much lower numbers of German Americans and Italian Americans were relocated to internment camps. “They (authorities) told the Japanese Americans they would be relocated to another place that was safer for them because of anti-vigilante violence,” Mr. Nomura said. “But when they got to the camp, they were surrounded by barb wire, and the towers were all armed. It was scary. “When they first got there, they didn’t have much of anything,” Mr. Nomura said. “They had to stuff gunny sacks with hay for their mattresses. “My grandmother and mother put up blankets for walls,” Mr. Nomura said. “As many as three or four families were in each barrack, and the barracks weren’t very big.” He said his family was always

“My grandfather taught me, ‘Whatever you do, you should make things better than they were before you got there,’ ” Wade Nomura said about his community projects, which included Carpinteria’s Tomol Interactive Play Area.

hungry in the camp. But after World War II, Mr. Nomura’s father, the late William Nomura, was eager to prove his patriotism and was glad to serve America when he was drafted during the Korean War, Mr. Nomura said. “Most people in current times would anticipate there would be animosity toward the people who had interned them,” Mr. Nomura said. “But that generation was a very quiet generation, and a lot of them enlisted in the Army and fought in World War II in France and Germany.”

Mr. Nomura, who was born in 1953 in Santa Barbara, graduated in 1971 from Santa Barbara High School. He followed in his family’s footsteps and became a landscaper. “To be honest, I never thought I would be a landscaper when I was younger. I hated it,” Mr. Nomura said. “My father made me work when I was 8 or 9 years old.” But as a student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, he was figuring out what to do with the rest of his life. And he realized that thanks to the lessons from his father and grandfather, he had

useful expertise in landscaping. After earning his bachelor’s in ornamental horticulture in 1976 at Cal Poly, he began his lifetime career in landscaping. And after moving to Carpinteria in 1977, Mr. Nomura found the city where he wanted to live for the rest of his life. He explained he liked the city better than Santa Barbara because it was smaller. “I thought Santa Barbara had gotten a little too big and that it didn’t have the warm and fuzzy feeling you have in Carpinteria. That’s why I ended up moving to Carpinteria. It’s a great place

for my kids, and you know everybody.” Mr. Nomura and his late wife, Roxanne Shinoda Nomura, had a son, current Ventura resident Ryan, and daughter, Lisa Shinoda, who, like her dad, lives in Carpinteria. Mr. Nomura has three grandsons. Mr. Nomura admitted his life gave him a big surprise. “Never in my life did I imagine I would become a BMX racer,” he said. But he said he got involved with racing in 1979 because of a suggestion from local youths he met when he worked on a

landscaping project. They advised him to compete in a Father’s Day race that he ended up winning. “The next thing you know, I was winning a championship on a bike I designed myself,” he said. “I spent five to six years in BMX racing, won a few national titles and turned professional at age 30. I was the oldest pro there.” Along with his racing came broken bones: 22 of them, including his collarbone and shoulder blade. Please see NOMURA on B2

Ventura to hold sporting event fundraisers

1969 oil spill

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Ventura is welcoming back two signature sporting events that have been benefiting good causes for years in the city, with creative adjustments for COVID-19 precautions. On May 15, Ventura will host Bike MS — the largest fundraising cycling series in the world. Each year, Bike MS has nearly 75,000 cyclists participate in the around-the-country ride to raise money to combat multiple sclerosis. This year’s single-day portion of the Los Angeles Coastal Challenge begins and ends at San Buenaventura State Beach in Ventura. It will take riders properly spaced through Southern California’s countryside. A week later, the Mountains 2 Beach Marathon and Half Marathon will take place from May 22 through May 31. To

Workers clean up after the 1969 oil spill in the Santa Barbara Channel. It was the largest oil spill in the U.S. waters at that time and is now third behind the 2010 Deepwater Horizon and 1989 Exxon Valdez spills. The Santa Barbara spill created a 35-mile long slick and spewed an estimated 3 million gallons of crude oil into the Pacific Ocean, killing thousands of birds, fish and sea mammals. Soon after the spill, President Richard Nixon signed the National Environmental Policy Act. In 1970, the California Environmental Quality Act was adopted, and the nation’s first Earth Day was celebrated. Afterward, laws were passed that regulated water and air pollution.

But Mr. Nomura said getting injured didn’t deter him during his racing career. After healing and rehabilitation, he competed again. The mayor’s lifetime of service grew when he joined the Rotary Club of Carpinteria Morning in 2002. He said he’s proud of the club’s projects such as the Tomol Interactive Play Area at Carpinteria State Beach. “It took eight years to build,” Mr. Nomura said, noting the Rotary project evolved into a community-wide one. “Because it’s an interpretative play area, we played off the history not only of Carpinteria but of subjects varying from the environment to Chumash themes. We wanted to highlight everything that had to do with Carpinteria back in the day, back to the beginning of time.” “Creating Destiny” describes Mr. Nomura’s good work as a Rotarian around the world and in California, where he served as a district governor. (He and

promote social distancing, instead of a traditional single-day event, runners will run the race on their own any time during the open window of days. Using the event’s app — which provides course maps, keeps track of the runner’s pace and more — or their own GPS device, runners can run a marathon, from the town of Ojai (downhill) to the beaches of Ventura, a half marathon or a 5K (along Ventura’s beachfront). “We are so happy to be able to host two incredible giving events this May, and do it in a way that’s safe for both visitors and our community,” said Cheryl Shallanberger, vice president of sales and marketing for Visit Ventura. “Everyone has worked hard to make the necessary accommodations for these times, and now we can host these two events which help others. It just feels good.” Since 2013, the Mountains 2 Beach event has raised between

$400,000 and $450,000 for local schools, hospitals and land trusts. Much of the school funding has gone toward health and nutrition education, in hopes of putting children on a lifelong path of good health. “Giving money to help promote healthy active lifestyles in our community’s youth seems like a no brainer,” said Ben DeWitt, the organizer of Mountains 2 Beach. “Teach them how to be active and eat well and take care of themselves from an early age and you just set them up for a better chance of success.

for the community.” Mr. Nomura agreed to run and was elected in 2012 to the council, which chose him for his first term as mayor in 2018. In 2020, the council re-appointed him for a second term. “Creating Destiny” also explores Mr. Nomura’s personal life, including his kids’ accomplishments. And he talks about his grief after Roxanne’s death in 2017 following a battle with cancer. Mr. Nomura wrote he felt he had lost half of himself. After Roxanne’s passage, friends and family took Mr. Nomura out to lunch and dinner every day. He learned later that Roxanne told people to promise her they would make sure he ate regular meals after she died. “Creating Destiny” also covers Mr. Nomura meeting his second wife, Debbie. “The biggest thing I talk about is that where you live is your paradise,” Mr. Nomura told the News-Press. “My grandfather taught me, ‘Whatever you do, you should make things better than they were before you got there.’ ”

They went there on a National Immunizations Day program, which delivers oral poliovirus vaccine under the direction of Rotary International and the World Health Organization. “I could have written an entire book on this one trip,” Mr. Nomura, a polio survivor, wrote in his book. In 2011, several interest groups approached Mr. Nomura about running for Carpinteria City Council. When he asked them why they supported him, they told him, “You carry high ethical standards.

Diversions horoscope • puzzles

Horoscope.com Friday, March 26, 2021

ARIES — Reading could take up a lot of your time today, Aries. Books on psychology or the occult sciences might seem interesting, particularly as your intuition is operating on a higher level than usual. You might not want to talk about what’s coming up for you, but that’s OK. You will need to make sense of it first before you can share it with clarity. TAURUS — Your mind is likely to be on your finances today, Taurus, and you may be searching for previously unknown ways to advance yourself. Colleagues or friends could help steer you in the right direction. When it comes to jotting down possibilities, trust your intuition, as it’s operating at a very high level. List your possibilities and then let it stew for a few days before going over them again. GEMINI — Increased communication with a close friend or lover, more on a subtle than verbal level, could bring you closer and enrich your relationship. Quiet time spend together today could generate a new sense of closeness. Images and ideas that come from deep within you can contribute to your creative self-expression. Write down any insights so you can refer to them later. Work from the heart. CANCER — Today you might crave solitude, Cancer, perhaps for meditation or to contemplate your current situation. You may feel you’re at a crossroads and need to decide which way to go. This could involve the next step in your material progress or selfexpression, or it might involve your spiritual path. Emotions from the past could well up, but this is a positive development. Don’t fight it. LEO — You might spend a lot of time in conversation with friends who share your interests. Their insights could lead to new insights on your part, Leo, and vice versa. This process could bring all of you closer together. Good news could come through the mail, email, or phone regarding goals you’ve been trying to reach. You’re also likely to send out a lot of communications yourself. VIRGO — Paperwork involving finances, Virgo, perhaps personal, perhaps involving your employer’s funds, or both, is likely to need some intense attention during the day. This doesn’t necessarily imply anything negative. In fact, just the opposite. It does mean that some careful planning or budgeting is going to be required in order to make the most of your current situation. Monday, November 16, 2015 LIBRA — Today you may want

to spend your free time alone, contemplating various ideas, Libra. Spiritual or metaphysical philosophies from ancient cultures or foreign lands might be more appealing than usual. Reading about them at this time could approach obsession, but this is OK. Whatever you learn today is likely to contribute greatly to your personal growth and perhaps selfexpression. SCORPIO — Today, Scorpio, your mind may turn toward deep subjects. You could explore the sciences, psychology, the occult, or metaphysics. You will probably discover some new facts or ideas that could keep your mind occupied for hours. Needless to say, you will spend much of your time alone exploring these themes. You might also want to write down your insights and revelations to study later. SAGITTARIUS — A sudden upsurge in your intuition could have you feeling more in tune to the thoughts, feelings, and desires of others, Sagittarius. Your communication is going to be clear and open as a result. You’re likely to grow closer to everyone dear to you, especially your romantic partner. Don’t expect everything you pick up to be positive. Others have their issues. Let them know you understand. CAPRICORN — Your mind is strong and focused today, Capricorn. As a result, you’re probably feeling especially physically robust. Sudden insights could earn you some satisfying acknowledgement, not to mention the respect of someone important to you. Your intuition level is high and apt to serve you well now, particularly where work and health are concerned. Make the most of it! AQUARIUS — Expect to spend much of your day alone, Aquarius. Information obtained from books or videos, perhaps involving history, philosophy, or religion, might inspire you to look deeper into a subject and turn it to your own advantage. You might decide to take a trip or return to college. There’s also the chance that you could be inspired to write or otherwise express your ideas and feelings. Go to it! PISCES — Some strange dreams could stimulate your imagination and start you on new avenues of exploration. You might at some point play detective. What you seek is likely to be within your psyche. Don’t be surprised if you learn new things about yourself that you hadn’t been aware of before. You could also find your psychic faculties increasing.

I M G L

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.
