Four killed in Orange shooting Local law enforcement officials discuss increase in gun violence

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Three adults, including one man and two women, and one child were killed Wednesday evening in a shooting at a business park in the city of Orange.

The suspect was identified as 44-year-old Aminadab Gaxiola Gonzalez, and authorities said he knew all the victims either through business or personally, according to national media reports.

The child was a 9-year-old boy who authorities said appeared to have died in his mother’s arms as she tried to shield him from the gunfire.

Mr. Gonzalez suffered a gunshot wound and remains hospitalized in stable but critical condition, and authorities are unsure whether the shot was self-inflicted.

The names of the victims are being withheld.

At a news conference Thursday morning, police said the shooting was not a “random act of violence” and believe it was an isolated incident.

Officers recovered a semiautomatic handgun and a backpack with pepper spray, handcuffs and ammunition from the scene, which officials believe

Easter Bunny hops around SB County

Pinwheels placed for child abuse awareness

By ANNELISE HANSHAW

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

More than 150 blue and silver pinwheels now stand outside the Veterans Memorial Building in Solvang, each one symbolizing five children who were abused in the Lompoc and Solvang area in 2020.

Members of the North County Rape Crisis and Child Protection Center alongside Solvang City Council officials planted 166 pinwheels Wednesday morning, drawing the attention of drivers who honked their horns in support while commuting through Solvang’s busy streets.

The pinwheels represent the 831 child abuse referrals that were investigated last year in the Lompoc and Solvang area. Their spinning flaps evoke memories of childhood innocence, something that is taken from many kids as a result of abuse. “(When I see a pinwheel) I think about the innocence of my youth, I think about (feeling) carefree, I think about the beach, I think about just enjoying life,” Ann McCary, executive director of the center, told the NewsPress. “Child abuse is dark, and the people who aren’t involved

Brightly colored eggs will adorn this weekend’s festivities as Santa Barbara County businesses and organizations hold Easter egg hunts.

PASEO NUEVO Perhaps the most expensive eggs are in Paseo Nuevo’s hunt, as the Santa Barbara shopping center hides eggs with tokens redeemable for $50 gift cards.

Paseo Nuevo’s egg hunt has been ongoing since Tuesday, and today’s the last day to have a chance at the prize.

Follow @shoppaseonuevo on Instagram for hints about the eggs’ hiding places, but be quick: They go fast.

Winners can receive their gift cards at the management office at 651 Paseo Nuevo, Santa Barbara.

BUELLTON AND SOLVANG Buellton and Solvang Recreation’s 30th annual “Easter Eggstravaganza” is back this year with six locations in a Saturday scavenge. The parks open at 8 a.m., and families can hunt at their own pace.

Pamphlets at the park entrance will help families find the eggs, though each child is limited to eight eggs. One grand prize is hidden at each park.

The three egg hunts in Solvang are: Sunny Fields Park, 900

in (our work) don’t necessarily acknowledge that it exists. And (the pinwheels) are a symbol that yes, it does exist.”

During the COVID-19 pandemic, reported instances of child abuse in Lompoc and Solvang dropped from 1,137 referrals in 2019 to 831 in 2020.

Though this looks like a positive change, officials say the drop likely stems from a lack of inperson learning for the past year, not a true decrease in cases of

child abuse.

School teachers are mandated reporters, meaning they are required to report suspected instances of child abuse. With a year of online learning due to the pandemic, officials suspect many children faced abuse at home without an outlet for help.

“We usually see an uptick in reports right before the summer and right after the kids come back to school,” Barbara Finch, children and adult network director for the county’s Department of Social Services, told the News-Press. “And since they weren’t in school and

weren’t going to as many doctor’s visits, the reports went down.

But the reports that were coming in were much more severe and disturbing.”

She added, “We know there have been kids who are stuck at home in unsafe situations …

We’re not seeing those kids until they’re back in school.”

Ms. McCarty echoed this sentiment, calling the drop in cases “disturbing.” She said her organization is anticipating an uptick in child abuse reports as more and more children return to in-person learning.

“One of the things I fear is that

people will see 831 and (think) ‘Oh that’s not so bad, it’s gone down from the year before,’ but no it hasn’t,” Ms. McCarty said.

“I don’t want people to think it’s getting better because it’s not. We have the power to make it better, and that power rests within the entire community.”

From Ms. McCarty’s perspective, it is better for community members to report suspected instances of child abuse and find that they are wrong rather than never report it at all.

Additional pinwheel plantings took place Wednesday in

Lompoc, Santa Maria and Guadelupe in collaboration with volunteers from First 5 Santa Barbara County, CALM (Child Abuse Listening Mediation), and

Three community health centers in Santa Barbara County are receiving a total of $11.6 million in American Rescue Plan funds to expand COVID-19 vaccination and treatment.

American Indian Health & Services will receive $1,517,875; Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinic will be allocated $4,911,875, and the County of Santa Barbara will receive $5,210,375.

“Our community health centers have been key partners in keeping our community safe and healthy during the pandemic. I was proud to cast my vote for the American Rescue Plan, which makes crucial investments to expand vaccine distribution,” Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, said in a news release.

“I’m glad to see over $11 million dollars will be used to enhance our ability to get vaccines into the

arms of Central Coast residents as quickly, equitably, and effectively as possible.”

The federal government is investing $6 billion to expand vaccine access in underserved areas. The Health Resources and Services Administration will distribute the funds to almost 1,400 health centers nationwide.

The money can be used to administer COVID-19 vaccinations, expand testing and treatment for vulnerable populations, give primary care to high-risk communities and expand the centers’ capacity.

The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department reported 46 new COVID-19 cases Thursday, a 30% increase in case count when compared to the twoweek average.

Weekly case rates have been increasing nationally since midMarch, from an average of 52,000 cases per day to 62,000 cases per day.

NEWSROOM

SANTA MARIA — In recognition of April being Distracted Driving Awareness Month, the Santa Maria Police Department is encouraging drivers to give their phones a break and focus on the road.

Throughout the month, additional officers will be on patrol specifically looking for drivers who violate the state’s hands-free cell phone law.

“When you are driving, give the phone a rest,” read a department news release. “A driver’s number one focus should be on the road.

Anything that distracts you from the task of driving, especially a phone, puts yourself and others at risk.”

According to the 2020 statewide public opinion survey, more than 75% of drivers surveyed listed texting while driving as their biggest safety concern. The goal of the campaign is to increase compliance with the hands-free law and keep the public safe, authorities said.

Under current law, drivers are not allowed to hold a phone or other electronic device while behind the wheel. Drivers under 18 are not allowed to use a phone for any reason, including hands-

free.

“If you need to make a call or send a text, pull over and park at a safe location,” police said.

“Drivers should silence their phones or put the phone out of reach, such as the glove box or trunk.”

Funding for distracted driving enforcement operations are provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

OPERA SANTA BARBARA PRESENTS

NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Lizzie Goss, an All-Channel League star in both soccer and golf, spent a sleepless Sunday night while trying to decide which sport she’d play the next day.

After getting a last-minute approval to play both, the Santa Barbara High senior spent another short — but happy — night of slumber on Monday.

“We played the late match and then had soccer practice this morning at 6:45,” she said. “But I’ve got no complaints. I’m really glad to be out there.”

Goss and teammate Ella Williams, a transfer from the Lake Tahoe area, both played for the Dons at the Santa Barbara Municipal Golf Course on Monday afternoon. Goss shot a 42, just two shots off the medalist round carded by teammate Melia Haller, while Williams came in with a 51 in Santa Barbara’s 234-303 victory over Bishop Diego.

They had no time to savor victory, rushing from the course to Buena High. They arrived 45 minutes before the start of an evening soccer contest which ended in a 0-0 tie.

“Our backline was solid, with all four seniors — Lizzie Goss, Bri Lopez, Liberty Tank and Kendall Dawson — keeping things under control the whole game against a very good offensive Buena team,” Dons’ coach Willie Sims said.

Goss, who played outside back for all 80 minutes of the match, said she was pleasantly surprised with the result.

“Buena has a really good team, and we have a lot of new players who hadn’t played a game together,” she said. “I really haven’t been able to practice with the team — just play golf — although there are a decent amount of players who are also on my club team (the Santa Barbara Soccer Club).

“Our defense played really well.

They had some strong players up top.”

Golf season, which is normally played in the fall, and soccer, a winter sport, were both pushed back to this spring by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“They were saying that I’d be able to play both golf and soccer once the COVID cases reached the red tier,” Goss said. “Golf is a purple-tier sport and soccer is in the red tier.

“But then all of a sudden it changed, and they said I could only

play one.”

Her family asked the school administration and Santa Barbara School Board to reconsider that decision.

“My dad and I worked together, sending emails out to Frann Wageneck, the assistant superintendent; Todd Heil, the athletic director; Elise Simmons, the principal, and Kate Ford and Laura Capps with the school board,” she said. “We had to get as many resources as we could to fight it.”

David Goss said his daughter had been greatly conflicted about the situation.

“Both her soccer coach and golf coach have been asking her for weeks to pick between the two,” he said. “She refused to pick as she loves both sports equally.”

When she awoke Monday morning, she still didn’t know which sport she would choose.

“I really had no idea,” Goss said.

“I really wasn’t leaning toward a certain one. Either way, I would’ve

felt I was letting down my coaches and teammates.

“I was just praying that (an approval) would get passed.”

Her prayers were answered just hours before the Dons were to tee up at the Santa Barbara Municipal Course.

“Needless to say, it was an emotional day for the Goss family,” David said.

Santa Barbara golf coach Ryan Throop moved Goss and Williams into the first group so they could finish in time to make the soccer match at Buena.

“It was so awesome of him to make that happen,” Goss said. “My score was decent, not great. It was my first competitive round in a while.

“I’m just super-thankful I was allowed to play, and that everyone came together to help me and Ella.” email: mpatton@newspress.com

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN the Casitas Municipal Water District (CMWD and Lead Agency) has prepared a Draft Initial Study & Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the Ventura-Santa Barbara Counties Intertie Project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) State Guidelines §15000 et seq. Anyone desiring to comment on the IS/MND may do so in writing within the 30-day public review period commencing April 2 and concluding on May 2, 2021.

The Ventura-Santa Barbara Counties Intertie Project (proposed project) involves the construction and operation of potable water infrastructure to connect the CMWD and Carpinteria Valley Water District (CVWD) water transmission systems. The proposed project includes between approximately 7,600 to 8,160 linear feet (LF; 1.4 to 1.5 miles) of 16-inch-diameter potable water pipeline, two booster pump stations, and improvements to infrastructure at existing CMWD facilities. The project site is located in the unincorporated southwestern portion of Ventura County and the unincorporated southeastern portion of Santa Barbara County and is approximately 0.3 mile east of the city of Carpinteria. The pipeline would traverse the boundary between Ventura and Santa Barbara counties and act as a two-way intertie to allow the transfer of water between CMWD and CVWD, as necessary.

The proposed pipeline alignments and Booster Pump Station A site options are located near the intersection of State Routes 192 and 150, both of which are under the jurisdiction of the California Department of Transportation. The western terminus of the pipeline is located at 6858 Casitas Pass Road, adjacent to Assessor’s Parcel Numbers APNs 001-101-047 and 001-200-006 in Santa Barbara County. The proposed pipeline alignment abuts and at points traverses Santa Barbara APNs 001101-046, 001-200-009, 001-101-048, 001-101-040, 001-200-029, 001-101-041, 001-101-030, 001-101-049, 001-440-003, 001-440-005, 001-440-006, 001-440-002, and 001-440-001; and Ventura County APNs 008-016-046, 008-016-047, 008-021-001, 008-021-002, 008-016-041, 008-016-037, 008-016-048, 008-016-035, and 008-016-036. The Booster Pump Station A site options are located on APNs 008-016-046, 008-016-041, and 008-016-048.

Booster Pump Station B alternative site options are located approximately two miles east, near 6214 Casitas Pass Road (APNs 008-018-064, 008-018-066, 008-018-056, and 008-018-017). Proposed infrastructure improvement areas are located near Lake Casitas (APNs 008-019-036, 008-019-016, 008019-037, and 060-022-001).

Based on a review of the State Water Resources Control Board GeoTracker database and California Department of Toxic Substances Control EnviroStor database, it was determined the pipeline alignment options, booster pump station location sites, and infrastructure improvement areas are not included on existing lists of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5.

All interested persons may attend the public hearing by the CMWD Board of Directors, which is tentatively scheduled for 5:00PM on May 26, 2021 via conference call due to COVID-19. Please check the Board Meeting agenda prior to the meeting to confirm the hearing date and attendance details: https://www.casitaswater.org/about-us/board-of-directors Due to COVID-19, the CMWD offices are currently closed to the public.

SHOOTINGS

Continued from Page A1

Atlanta, where a gunman shot and killed eight people, six of whom were women of Asian descent, at three spas, and the other on March 22 in Boulder, where a man stormed a grocery store and shot and killed 10 people.

On top of shootings around the nation, the Santa Barbara Police Department is continuing to search for the suspect or suspects involved in Monday’s shooting on the Eastside in the area of Eucalyptus Hill Road and Salinas Street that left one person injured.

According to Santa Barbara Police Chief Bernard Melekian, the Eastside shots fired were likely gang-related.

“That points to a separate epidemic that has been around almost as long, and that’s the issue of gang violence,” he told the News-Press. “The real issue there, in my opinion, is how do we intervene in the lives of these young people? … What I do know is that even among selfadmitted gang members, 90% are not inclined to do horrific acts of violence.”

Chief Melekian said he’s dealt with both youth intervention and gun violence associated with mental health for the executive portion of his career.

Regarding the mass shootings around the nation, the police chief said they’re the result of the “clear intersection” of mental health and gun violence.

“The three shootings certainly point to the ongoing issue of gun violence, but if we don’t look at the resources we make available for mental health treatment and mental health intervention, we’re not going to make significant progress on this,” Chief Melekian said. “I’ve been saying this for probably over 20 to 25 years now … I’m not diminishing the need for gun regulation and the discussion that goes with that, but I really feel very strongly that mental health prevention and treatment and

“The three shootings certainly point to the ongoing issue of gun violence, but if we don’t look at the resources we make available for mental health treatment and mental health intervention, we’re not going to make significant progress on this,” said Santa Barbara Police Chief Bernard Melekian.

intervention need to come as part of that.”

He added that the increase of gun violence is clear and backed up by data, and could be attributed to “a whole myriad of causes.” However, the mandated lockdowns and isolation from COVID-19 could be one cause.

“There’s no question that the sort of pent-up frustration and the lockdowns behind COVID have produced a sharp rise in the number of people who have actually actively sought mental health counseling and treatment, which suggests there’s a large number that probably did not,” Chief Melekian said. “Secondly, I think we’re just in a very volatile

time in this country for a variety of reasons, and we have been for several years.”

The chief said that it’s important to make a clear distinction between incidents like the mass shootings in Atlanta and Boulder and incidents like Santa Barbara’s Eastside experienced earlier in the week. Violent crime and gang violence, he said, must be addressed by law enforcement, but mass shootings should be addressed by both law enforcement and mental health professionals.

He said, “I can’t remember who said it, but somebody said, ‘When all is said and done, usually more is said than done.’ It would be

nice if we used these tragedies to actually start to move us in the direction of doing something as a society.”

Santa Barbara County District Attorney Joyce Dudley told the News-Press that when she heard the news about the shooting in Orange, she felt “devastated, bewildered and shocked.”

“But then I immediately went to feeling some level of comfort at how prepared Santa Barbara County is for such an event,” she said. “I’ve been involved in three mass shootings with a stabbing and one mass death with the Conception. I’m afraid I have far too much experience as the chief law enforcement official in Santa

The Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2021, which also passed the House on March 11, would increase the amount of time, from three to 10 business days, that a federal firearms licensee must wait to receive a completed background check prior to transferring the firearm to an unlicensed person.

Under the new legislation, if 10 days go by and the check is incomplete, the prospective purchaser may submit a petition.

If another 10 days go by without a final determination, the licensee may transfer the firearm to the prospective purchaser.

The bill would fix what is referred to as the “Charleston Loophole,” which allows gun dealers to complete sales after three days if a buyer’s background check has not been completed by the FBI. The bill is awaiting its fate in the Senate.

Other bills include ones that would increase alerts of background check denials, require training for gun dealers and their employees every two years, require gun owners to report the theft or loss of a firearm to law enforcement and make it a federal crime to allow straw purchasing of firearms. There are many other bills.

“California is one of the leading states in terms of stopping gun violence, and even with that, we’re still having a lot of gun violence … I think although California does have the best laws, we need to make it a national mandate, because people easily move from one state to another,” Ms. Dudley said. “Every other social justice or criminal justice issue, we always run into the fact that there isn’t going to be one size fits all. All we can do is make a difference in some areas, which we have done and will continue to do.”

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK The city of Goleta’s first homelessness strategic plan is now available for public review.

The plan was recently reviewed by the Homelessness Issues Standing Committee and will be considered by the Goleta City Council at its April 20 meeting.

To learn more and view the plan, visit https://tinyurl.com/ goletahomelessnessplan.

If adopted, the document will help guide and coordinate efforts to prevent and address homelessness within Goleta, and particularly, funding decisions related to homelessness initiatives and grants for nonprofit service providers that focus on the homeless population.

“We are very pleased to be able to share the city’s final homelessness strategic plan with the public,” said Jaime Valdez, Goleta’s neighborhood services interim director. “This is the culmination of a two-year effort during which city staff has collaborated with multiple local stakeholders and sought out public input through workshops and a community survey. This plan will provide the city council with important guidance going forward as they make difficult funding decisions about homelessness

Barbara County.”

The district attorney said her office responds to these mass shootings, such as those in Thousand Oaks and Las Vegas, by sending staff members to the sites.

She said the office has its main goals and a procedure to follow in the event of a tragedy, and the priorities go in order of 1) ensuring public safety, 2) helping victims and their families, and 3) collecting evidence to prosecute.

Ms. Dudley is one of the founding members of Prosecutors Against Gun Violence, a nonpartisan group of prosecutors advocating for certain policies and improved enforcement of existing laws.

After the mass shootings in Atlanta and Boulder, she said she was on the phone with other members to discuss what state legislation they felt could make an impact.

“I became concerned about the kind of violence we’ve seen during COVID,” she said. “It’s on the increase, and the paralysis we’re experiencing in Washington, D.C., is not helping matters.”

Ms. Dudley and the other prosecutors have their sights set on two main pieces of legislation to address gun violence, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act and the Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2021. Both bills have the most realistic chance of passing the Senate.

The Bipartisan Background Checks Act, which passed the House on March 11, would establish new background check requirements for firearm transfers between private parties, specifically prohibiting transfers between private parties unless a licensed gun dealer, manufacturer or importer first takes possession of the firearm to conduct a background check. It wouldn’t apply to certain situations, such as a gift between spouses in good faith.

BURK, Stanley “Stan” Hugh

Stanley “Stan” Hugh Burk, 88, of Templeton, CA lost his battle with Alzheimer’s disease on February 22, 2021 in Santa Barbara, surrounded by the love and care of his family. Stan was born on September 16, 1932, in Paso Robles. He was a 3rd generation Templeton resident and graduate of Templeton High School, where his mother, Ellen, also taught school.

Stan was a hard worker and enjoyed his time with family and friends to the fullest. Stan had an amazing ability to make people feel good about themselves and accepted everyone just as they were. He was a caring friend, father and grandfather, who you could always count on. We can all only hope to carry on the love, kindness, generosity and laughter that Stan lived by each and every day of his life.

Among all else, Stan was a devoted father and family man. He is preceded in death by his eldest children, Lois and Sidney; and his wife, Jolene Burk. Stan is survived by his son Eric (Sally) Burk; his daughter Doreen (Robert) Burk-Townsend; his grandchildren, Tina (Tom) O’Mahoney, Devonnie (James) Wharton; his ex-wife, Mildred Strand; his great-grandchildren, and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Stan will be deeply missed by his family, friends and all that had the great privilege of knowing him. His legacy of kindness, love and generosity will live on among us.

Family, friends and others whose lives Stan touched are invited to make a Tribute Donation to the Alzheimer’s Association in Stan’s honor. There will be no service held due to COVID-19.

also held stakeholder meetings, best practices discussions with communities nationwide and a community open house and information session.

The city council and staff hope that having a strategic plan will

provide important direction and clarity around needs, service gaps and priorities to help the existing homeless population, as well as those at risk of becoming homeless. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

SHAW, James William, MD September 16, 1939 - March 22, 2021

Jim passed away quickly and peacefully with his wife Patti by his side. He had a long struggle with Alzheimer’s Disease.

He was born in Washington, DC to James and Sylvia Shaw. He followed in his father’s footsteps and became a physician after attending Eastern Michigan University and graduating from University of Michigan Medical School. He moved to Los Angeles for his internship, residency and fellowship at L.A. County/USC Medical Center. While in L.A. he met his wife Patti, who he was happily married to for 54 years. Daughter Kristin was born in 1969. After moving to Santa Barbara in 1973, he set up a private practice as an internist/endocrinologist. Son Mark was born in 1974. He was a well respected physician in Santa Barbara for over 30 years. He was president of the Santa Barbara Medical Society and a member of the Santa Barbara Yacht Club and his beloved WLPA cycling club.

Jim was a life-long avid outdoorsman, enjoying backpacking, fishing, sailing, skiing, cycling and golf. Woodworking was another passion of his, it gave him such joy making furniture in his workshop for friends and family. He had a generous heart and was always willing to help a friend in need. He loved being with his children and grandchildren in San Francisco and Marin. He is survived by his wife Patti, daughter Kristin ( Jim ), son Mark ( Kate ), grandchildren Madison, Alexander, Scottie and Ryan, sister Sandra, and sister-in-law Ginny Fraser ( Stu ).

Abby (Fatima Ptacek) falls in love with rock singer Dave (Kane Ritchotte) in “Coast.” It will have its world premiere next week at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.

Teenager’s struggle with destiny Filmed in Santa Maria, ‘Coast’ will premiere at SB film festival

At left, life with a touring rock band is tempting Abby to leave her hometown. At right, Abby isn’t certain she wants to leave her friends and family. The struggle over that question makes “Coast” unique, according to director Derek Schweickart.

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

“Coast” was filmed in Santa Maria and nearby communities.

Santa Maria is coming to the big screen in a new movie about a 16-year-old girl trying to figure out what to do with the rest of her life.

Filmed in Santa Maria and nearby Orcutt and Guadalupe, “Coast” will make its world premiere at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival’s beachside drive-in.

It will screen there again at noon April 10.

The drive-in is at Santa Barbara City College’s parking areas at 140 Loma Alta Road.

Santa Maria native Cindy Kitagawa wrote “Coast,” a drama that is about Abby (Fatima Ptacek), who lives in a small coastal farming town and is eager to escape.

The 16-year-old girl gets that opportunity when she falls in love with Dave (Kane Ritchotte), the leader of a touring rock band. But she struggles with the question of whether she wants to leave her family and friends behind.

The movie has themes familiar for kids who grow up in small towns and might feel isolated from the rest of the world.

“I think when you try to figure out who you are and the world

around you is no longer serving you, the natural thing for you is to escape,” Jessica Hester told the News-Press this week by phone from her and fellow director Derek Schweickart’s home in Westchester County, N.Y. “Abby loves music, so that’s her first step in the search for herself.”

Mr. Schweickart, who participated in the same phone interview, noted that Abby’s journey with her decision is something that isn’t seen often in films. “She doesn’t make the typical choices. She has a deep level of maturity that can be reassuring for people.”

The film features various Santa Maria locales. While the characters don’t mention “Santa Maria” by name, the city’s sign does appear at the end of the film, Ms. Hester said.

Mr. Schweickart said the movie features a real lowrider cars club’s barbecue.

He added that “Coast” was also filmed at a Guadalupe historical museum and the Guadalupe Buddhist Church, as well as the Oceano Dunes.

In addition to the local filming sites, “Coast” features a Santa Maria actress in one of its principal roles. Kaylee Kamiya, who attended Righetti High

School during the filming and is now an Allan Hancock College student, plays Laura.

Mr. Schweickart praised Ms. Kamiya for her authenticity on the screen. “She was the character.”

Mr. Schweickart added that the film’s background actors are Santa Maria residents. He said PCPA, the theater group based at Allan Hancock College, helped with the casting.

In addition to Ms. Ptacek, Ms. Kamiya and Mr. Ritchotte, the

cast includes Mia Frampton (rocker Peter Frampton’s daughter), Mia Xitlai, Ciara Bravo, Eduardo Roman, Cristela Alonzo and Melissa Leo. As Mr. Schweickart described “Coast,” he stressed he and Ms. Hester didn’t want to make a film about creating more division among people.

“It’s very much about learning to appreciate people who are similar and dissimilar to you.” email: dmason@newspress.com

FYI

“Coast,” a drama filmed in Santa Maria and nearby communities, will make its world premiere at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival’s beachside drive-in. It will have another screening there at noon April 10.

The drive-in screens are at the Santa Barbara City College’s lower parking areas, 140 Loma Alta Road.

CODEWORD PUZZLE

SUDOKU

Thought for Today

Codeword is a fun game with simple rules, and a great way to test your knowledge of the English language.

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.

Hill scores three times as Dons win home opener

By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Deacon Hill ran for two touchdowns and passed for another as Santa Barbara High celebrated a grand opening of Peabody Stadium with a 34-12 football victory over Hueneme Thursday night.

Hill rushed for 50 yards on 10 carries and completed 12-of-22 passes for 124 yards.

A high punt snap set up Santa Barbara’s first touchdown. Justin Perez tackled the Hueneme punter for an 11-yard loss at the Vikings’ own 34yard line.

Hill scored on the next play, taking a quarterback keeper around the left end and then cutting inside Anthony Loza’s block for the 34-yard touchdown run.

Hill went to the air to set up the Dons’ next score, completing three straight passes for first downs. Ty Mongomery capped the drive with an eight-yard TD run to start the second quarter.

Anthony Lopez capped the first half by intercepting a pass and returning it 58 yards down the right sideline for a touchdown as time expired.

Lopez intercepted another Viking pass late in the third period. Hill cashed in the possession with a 62yard scoring march. He capped it with his second TD run of the night on a three-yard plunge.

Hill also threw a 25-yard scoring pass to Robert Boyton with 3:20 to go.

Hueneme scored both of its touchdowns in the fourth period.

It marked the first football game at Peabody Stadium since Oct. 7, 2016.

The facility, first constructed in 1924, was rebuilt at a cost of $39 million.

BISHOP DIEGO 23, SIMI VALLEY 20 The Cardinals were able to hold off a late-game rally by Simi Valley to improve to 3-0 on the season.

Bishop opened a 16-0 lead through the first two quarters. Marcus Chan scored on a rushing touchdown and also caught a pass for a score. Logologo Vaa converted a safety to open the scoring.

Simi Valley (2-1) scored a pair of touchdowns to make it 16-13, but an interception return for a touchdown helped the Cardinals open their lead to 23-13.

Simi Valley scored with 4:28 left, but Bishop was able to run out the clock and close out the game. Official stats were not available.

“A.J. scored three great goals all in the run of play, and that is hard to do,” San Marcos coach Paul McLean said. “He was buzzing everywhere he went but his finishing was composed and fantastic.

“As a senior captain, A.J. epitomizes everything San Marcos Soccer is about. He brings 100% effort to everything, he puts the team first above his own interests, he gets the best from his teammates by encouraging them. We are thrilled for him to have a night like this his senior year.”

COLLEGE ROUNDUP

Westmont has several senior moments to remain unbeaten in GSAC

By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Defenders Nick Ruiz and Zach Godeck celebrated their own Senior Day at Westmont College by leading the Warriors to another Golden State Athletic Conference men’s soccer shutout, blanking San Diego Christian 2-0.

Westmont (5-1-1, 4-0-1 GSAC) has allowed just one goal in five league matches.

“I’ve said it before: We have a couple of really elite captains that have done a great job,” coach Dave Wolf

said. “It all starts with Nick and Zach, who have been our constants.”

They were honored during a pregame ceremony, along with Tyler Young and Jona Romero.

Romero made an impact in just the third minute, lofting a free kick from near midfield which Aldo Bacerril collected while making a run into the 18-yard box. He took one dribble and drilled his shot into the goal.

“There’s an awareness between those two that really starts with Jona,” Wolf said. “Aldo likes to get into good positions but Jona has to notice it. Jona has to watch him and see it developing and then Jona has

to make that play.

“The awareness of what those guys have going on right now has definitely made an impact.”

The Warriors scored their second goal in the 36th minute after Samuel Tuscano was pulled down in the 18-yard box. Tuscano converted the penalty kick for his fifth goal of the season.

Westmont out-shot its opponent 16to-7 which included a 6-to-2 advantage on frame. San Diego Christian falls to 5-5-0 and 1-4-0 in the GSAC. MEN’S TENNIS BIOLA 6, WESTMONT 1

Callen Hein earned the Warriors’ lone point, rallying to defeat Isaac Cordova 4-6, 6-4, 10-7 at No. 3 singles in the nonleague match in La Mirada.

Westmont dropped to 3-7 on the year while Biola, an NCAA Division 2 school, improved to 8-5.

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL WESTMONT 3, VANGUARD 0 Two long service runs by setter Sydny Dunn — one for 12 points in the first set and another for 10 in the third — led the undefeated Warriors to a 25-13, 25-21, 25-13 sweep.

Westmont (11-0, 8-0 Golden State

Athletic Conference) scored onethird of its points with Dunn at the service line.

“We hit our serving zones, so that was key,” coach Ruth McGolpin said.

“With our serves, we kept them on their heels with who they could set.”

Hali Galloway led in kills with 10 while Madison Morrison had a teamhigh 19 digs.

“Our defense was the difference maker,” McGolpin said. “Madison Morrison was phenomenal ... Not just in her defense, but in her poise.

She set some great high-ball sets, using her hands on some. They were beautiful.”

The Warriors clinched at least a share of the GSAC’s West Division championship with their win over Vanguard (9-9, 5-7) and, due to tiebreaker rules, an automatic berth in the NAIA National Tournament.

They can clinch the regular-season title outright when they play host to second-place San Diego Christian (10-7, 6-4) tonight and Saturday.

“That is step two in our championship week,” McGolpin said of the Vanguard win. “We know we have a couple of tough matches coming up this weekend. We will be prepared.” email: mpatton@newspress.com
