Help is on the way for live music venues in Santa Barbara County. U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, announced Thursday at a press conference at the Santa Barbara Bowl that local venue operators can now apply for grants from the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program. The program was established through the COVID-19 relief package passed in December 2020, and Rep. Carbajal helped secure additional funding for it through the American Rescue Plan, totaling more than $16 billion to help venues stay afloat.

The Biden administration Thursday announced a handful of executive orders to address what it called “the gun violence public health epidemic,” highlighting the recent mass shootings in Boulder and Atlanta. President Joe Biden called on Congress to pass legislation to reduce gun violence, such as closing loopholes in the gun background check system, along with “boyfriend” and stalking loopholes that allow people found by the courts to be abusers to

possess firearms. He demanded Congress go further and ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines, repeal gun manufacturers’ immunity from liability and invest in evidence-based community violence interventions. In addition, he called for a national red flag law and legislation to incentivize states to pass red flag laws of their own. Red flag laws allow family members or law enforcement to petition for a court order temporarily barring people in crisis from accessing firearms if they present a danger to

After a rocky pandemic year for businesses, local Chamber of Commerce officials are hopeful economic recovery may be on the way for the Central Coast now that Gov. Gavin Newsom has declared June 15 as a targeted date to dissolve the state’s tier system. Gov. Newsom announced Tuesday that the state could do away with the multicolored tier system by mid-June if vaccine efforts increase and hospitalizations remain low. This would mean businesses could operate without capacity limitations while maintaining “common sense” measures such as mask wearing, the governor said. For business sectors across Santa Barbara County, Chamber officials say reopening with fewer limitations is the shot in the arm businesses need to move

toward an economic comeback. “Reopening the economy is just the first step in a long road to recovery,” Amber Wilson, president and CEO of the Lompoc Chamber of Commerce told the News-Press, in an email. “It’s a start, and we’re all ready to start moving in the right direction.” Throughout the pandemic, various industries were forced to cope with unpredictable reopenings, closures and tier shifts that often decimated both their staff and their income. Now that there is a targeted date in mind, Kristen Miller, the CEO of the South Coast Chamber of Commerce, believes businesses will be prepared for a robust reopening with safety plans in place. “Having a targeted date to reopen provides even more hope for our state and county residents,” Ms. Miller told Please see CHAMBERS on A8

Instead he presented six executive orders aimed to curb gun violence. The first is that he is giving

TRAFFIC, CRIME & FIRE BLOTTER SANTA BARBARA — The sprinkler system at Sushi Tyme at 811 State St. helped keep a kitchen fire in check, but the fire caused significant damage to the restaurant Thursday morning, authorities said. The Santa Barbara City Fire Department received a report of fire alarms ringing around 2:50 a.m. Thursday. Crews arrived and found the business was fully charred with smoke and water flowing from the front door, according to fire officials. Units on scene called for a full structure response and crews forced their way through the front door and found a small fire in the kitchen area. A significant amount of water was discovered inside and crews remained on scene for

another two hours conducting salvage and overhaul, said Capt. George Martinez, fire spokesman. The fire was limited to the kitchen area and did not extend to any nearby buildings. No injuries were reported. An investigator determined the fire to be accidental in nature and damages were estimated to be $40,000. The business will remain closed until repairs are made, officials said. The building was unoccupied at the time of the fire, and fire officials credit the sprinkler system for preventing the fire from spreading. — Mitchell White

Man pleads guilty to bank robbery charge

A Michigan man who robbed a Lompoc credit union, and two days later attempted to rob a bank and led law enforcement on a high-speed pursuit that ended with him crashing his getaway car near Vandenberg Air Force Base, pleaded guilty Thursday to a federal criminal charge. Maurice Antwion Pilgrim Jr., 19, of Detroit, pleaded guilty to one count of bank robbery, according to the Department of Justice. According to his plea agreement, on Oct. 13, 2020, Mr. Pilgrim robbed a Coast Hills Credit Union in Lompoc and netted $3,000. Two days later, he attempted to rob Mechanics Bank in Guadalupe by handing one of the tellers a note which read, “give me $5,000-$10,000 and no gets hurt.” He fled the scene after seeing a nearby bank security guard. He was spotted driving on State

Route 1 and a pursuit ensued. After initially stopping his car, he refused to exit the vehicle and, to avoid capture, sped away. He drove at speeds more than 110 mph, weaving in and out of traffic and almost colliding with other motorists, the plea agreement states. His vehicle went off the road near the Vandenberg Air Force Base visitor center and he attempted to flee on foot but was quickly apprehended. A total of $552 was recovered from Mr. Pilgrim’s car and $1,700 was recovered from his pockets that were the proceeds of his robbery of the credit union. He is scheduled to be sentenced Jun1 and faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison. — Mitchell White

‘There is no single solution to end the gun violence epidemic in America’ Pistol Association, Gun Owners of California and the National Rifle Association. To him, President Biden’s executive actions are “radically out of tune with the Constitution.” Regarding the president’s demands to reduce access to ghost guns, Mr. Thomas told the NewsPress, “There’s nothing in the Constitution that says anything about ghost guns. Every gun in the Revolutionary War was a ghost gun … During the Revolutionary War, the only way the country was able to survive was because the citizens already had guns and already knew how to use them.” The gun advocate said that areas with the highest amounts of gun control still have the most crime and highest homicide rates, and that “a sign that says ‘gun-free zone’ has never stopped a bullet.” He quoted the Constitution’s Second Amendment and noted every adult is considered part of the amendment’s “well-regulated militia” and is protected by the Constitution to keep and bear arms. Mr. Thomas said red flag laws would violate people’s right to due process. “I just don’t understand why this stuff isn’t crystal clear to people. You can’t violate people’s rights like that,” he said. “The person affected by the red flag law has

no right to a hearing to defend his actions or whatever caused the red flag complaint to begin with. Red flag laws are just an unconstitutional way of taking away somebody’s guns. “If you get a neighbor that doesn’t like you or a relative that’s angry at you, they can pull out a red flag complaint and take your guns, and you have to fight like hell to get them back.” Mr. Thomas concluded that the only way to protect Americans, in his opinion, is with “responsible gun ownership.” He cited the shooting at West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement, Texas, in 2019, where the gunman was shot to death by a local former firearms instructor. He said that that local “saved the lives of a tremendous number of people.” “There’s plenty of bad people out there, but unfortunately, the way we find ourselves today … There are something like 300 to 400 million guns in the hands of private citizens in the U.S. Some of those are going to get stolen or fall into the hands of evil people,” Mr. Thomas said. “The only way to stop them is with responsible gun ownership and people who know how to use them, which is what this country was founded on.”

Last month, the Biden administration dropped the appeal, therefore blocking the public-charge rule. According to the Foodbank’s

CalFresh outreach coordinator Daisy Basulto-Hernandez, the rule “has greatly affected a lot of the food distributions.” “A lot of our food distributions are attended by the Latino population,” she said. “They always ask us if we’re aware of the rule.” Those with questions or need assistance completing CalFresh

Furthermore, between his proposed American Jobs Plan, a webinar and toolkit from the Department of Health and Human Services and changes to many programs supporting community violence intervention programs, he hopes to prioritize investment in interventions. The president also nominated David Chipman to serve as the director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, the key agency enforcing gun laws. The ATF has not had a confirmed director since 2015, but Mr. Chipman has served the ATF for 25 years and will now work to advance gun safety laws. “The job of any president is to protect the American people, whether Congress acts or not,” President Biden said. “I’m going to use all the resources at my disposal to keep the American people safe from gun violence, but there’s much more that Congress can do to help that effort.”

Saved by the community Local triathlete’s film on cycling accident to premiere in SBIFF By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

eil Myers had one request: “Don’t make this a hero story.” The 61-yearold triathlete and marketing company owner didn’t even want to tell his story at first. But when the Santa Barbara resident saw the impact his story could have on the community, he turned it into a documentary in just two years. The film, which explores his recovery from a traumatic bicycling accident, is called “Climb.” It will premiere at 9:30 a.m. Saturday at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. Mr. Myers directed and wrote the film. Before the accident, Mr. Myers participated in individual triathlons and biked on a relay team that won the New York City Triathlon with 4,000 participants. Mr. Myers often rode up and down Gibraltar Road to find peace — “often” being at least 100 times, he said while he sat down with the News-Press at his home. The challenging mountain road in the Santa Barbara area was quite familiar to him. In fact, he was one of the fastest bikers in the area coming down the mountain, typically making it to the bottom in 12 minutes. However, on Aug. 4, 2018, as he was coasting down Gibraltar Road at around 25 miles per hour, in two-tenths of a second, Mr. Myers collided head-on with a truck and his face was shot through the windshield. The accident broke 11 of his bones in 26 places, took 10 pounds of blood including from his brain and ripped his forehead off. Seven of his ribs broke, along with both of his wrists, one tibia and his nose. “Do you feel like a pretty selfreliant person? Me too, but when you wake up and you don’t know where you are, you don’t know who you are, and you don’t know why you’re there and you’re bleeding out but your cortex doesn’t even know that … Guess what? You’re not self-reliant,” Mr. Myers told the News-Press. “There’s nothing you’re going to do to save your life — you have no hope unless the community saves you.” Eleven first responders arrived on the scene and flew the injured biker to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital’s level one trauma center within 30 minutes. Mr. Myers was able to hang on, and he spent three and a half weeks in the hospital, recovering and rehabilitating. The hospital had just been certified as a level one trauma center, and it is the only one of its kind between San Jose and Los Angeles. This was critical to Mr. Myers’ survival, as he was just a few minutes away. “The community just forms up behind you,” he said. “You can’t even ask for it because you’re not even in the state to ask for it.” It was this communitywide support that Mr. Myers said practically nursed him back to health — so much so that a mere four weeks after the accident, he was back on a training bike. And a little more than four months after the accident, he was back on a regular bike headed up Gibraltar Road, alone. “I didn’t want to see it any other way than the way I know it,” Mr. Myers said of the mountain road. “There was nobody on the road — no cars, no trucks, no bikes, no pedestrians. Just me.” The triathlete said he doesn’t remember the accident itself because of his body’s fight or flight mode. However, his amygdala (the part of the brain that recalls emotions) still remembers every detail and can’t shake it, so

FYI View the trailer for “Climb” at www. climbdoc.org. The documentary’s world premiere will be at 9:30 a.m. Saturday at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival drive-in at the lower Santa Barbara City College parking lots on Shoreline Drive. (The address is 140 Loma Alta Road.) The ticket window will only open 24 hours in advance to RSVP to the screening, which can be done at sbiff. org/drivein.

Neil Myers, a former triathlete and resident of Santa Barbara, is releasing a new documentary about his experience and recovery from a cycling accident on Gibraltar Road.

whenever he relives the accident, he feels the emotions he felt at the time — otherwise known as posttraumatic stress disorder. “I just went right by it, actually,” he said about the first ride back. “It was disappointing. I was hoping for some sort of catharsis … but the more I thought about it, I was thinking about it wrong. The accident was in the past. That’s gone. I needed to think about that catharsis being in the future.” That first ride, he said, was the turning point for him, marking his transition from surviving and

rehabbing to training. Exactly one year after he got out of the hospital, Mr. Myers and his triathlon relay team won the Santa Barbara Triathlon by a substantial 41 seconds, a dream of the team’s for many years. Because “Climb” manages to cover 54 weeks of his life in 52 minutes, Mr. Myers wasn’t able to include the part of the story that he felt was most important to him at the time. That was his childhood best friend, Jack, having a dramatically different but difficult journey right alongside him. He

shared with the News-Press that Jack was diagnosed with liver cancer in 2017. Mr. Myers said the two friends lost touch because Jack “was tired of telling people all his problems.” On Aug. 3, 2018, Jack had a transplant that Mr. Myers said was his “absolute last hope,” and Jack and his family learned the cancer had spread. The very next day was the day Mr. Myers collided with the truck on Gibraltar Road. “His brother and sister, who I’m super close with, said, ‘For the year and a half, he (Jack) had

never once broken down, but when he heard about your accident, he just lost it and said, ‘I can’t do this without him,’” Mr. Myers said. So, in a fateful reunion, the two reconnected and began sharing their ailments and hospital experiences “like two old ladies” over the phone. Then, just one day after Mr. Myers returned to his real bike after the accident and took that “turning point” ride up Gibraltar once again, Jack died. “The stories are so intertwined,” he said, adding that his final race

in his hometown of Santa Rosa was one day after Jack’s celebration of life, and it was “the weirdest race I’d ever ridden.” “It just felt not right because of what I was dealing with,” Mr. Myers said, filled with emotion. “It ended up being a really weird race.

Carsey-Wolf Center at UCSB presents ‘Borders’ film series By MARILYN MCMAHON

FYI

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

“Char . . . The No-Man’s Land” is the second in the spring film discussion series, “Borders,” presented via Zoom by the Carsey-Wolf Center at UCSB. The program will take place from 7 to 8 p.m. Thursday with the film’s writer-director, Sourav Sarangi, and moderator Bhaskar Sarkar, associate professor in film and media studies at UCSB. The 2012 documentary tells the story of a young teen, Rubel, who lives on one of the silt islands, known locally as chars in the middle of the Ganga, along a stretch where the river coincides with the border between India and Bangladesh. The “Borders” series will continue with “Forensic Oceanography and the Aesthetics of Borders’’ from noon to 1:15 p.m. April 30. Bishnupriya Ghosh, UCSB professor of

Now, he continues to bike recreationally, and while the accident damaged his ability to remember some people’s names and causes painful core spasms every so often, amazingly, he doesn’t feel much more pain than that. He’s able to enjoy the company of his three sons, two daughter-in-laws and three grandchildren. In addition, he has now ridden up and down Gibraltar Road more times after the accident than he had before.

On May 6 from 4 to 5 p.m., “The Infiltrators,” will be discussed by co-directors Cristina Ibarra and Alex River and moderated by Cristina Venegas, UCSB associate professor in film and media studies.

attendance — a standing ovation — solidified his lifelong dream of creating a documentary. “I think, honestly, it was living proof of what their donations had done, so I decided this could be a story not about me but about the community,” Mr. Myers said. He hopes to bring his documentary on the road and raise money for trauma centers and rehab facilities all over the country. “I didn’t have to ask any of those people,” he said, referring to the medical professionals who helped him at each stage of his recovery. “They’re just here. “We hear every night on the news about how America hates itself and we’re always arguing. “Bull.

“John Ware Reclaimed,” which documents Ms. Foggo’s quest to uncover the complex legacy of a Black cowboy and rancher who moved to western Canada at the end of the 19th century. Stephanie Batiste, UCSB professor of English, will moderate the presentation from 4 to 5 p.m. May 13. Registration is required for all the discussions, which do not include screenings. Registered participants will receive a link to watch the films two days before the events. “As with all of our series, we hope to expand our audiences’ understanding of borders in film and media,” said Patrice Petro, Dick Wolf director of the CWC and presidential chair in media studies. “Each film we have selected interrogates different geographical terrains and forms of crossing, and each invites viewers to think of borders and bordering in new ways.” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

Diversions horoscope • puzzles

ARIES —Today you might decide to sequester yourself at home, catch your breath, get your thoughts together, and recall the events of the past several days. You will also plan for the future, Aries, as you feel especially optimistic and energetic enough to pursue whatever goals you have. At some point you’re likely to share this with a close friend and seek his or her support and opinion. TAURUS — Taking care of chores around the house might bring some home matters to your attention that need to be taken care of, Taurus. Perhaps there are a few minor repairs to make, or maybe you need a new piece of equipment or furniture. You should be optimistic about the future and confident enough to get back into your daily routine without feeling any letdown. GEMINI — A group you’re associated with but have been neglecting may be on your mind today. You might want to fulfill your obligations to it. You could also consider completing a long-term project that was put on hold over the past week or so. Tying up loose ends may take up much of your time today and keep you busy, Gemini. Don’t forget to take a little time for yourself. You are your first priority! CANCER — Money may be coming your way through a contract of some kind. This is a positive development. Make sure you read every word in the document before you commit to anything. This is a good time to ask for a loan or fill out paperwork regarding scholarships, grants, or other forms of financial support. The process is going to be less complicated than you imagined, Cancer. Things should manifest quickly. LEO — Are you sometimes afraid of appearing silly in front of people, Leo? The fear of failing in the eyes of others might be holding you back from real progress. The celestial energies are asking you to think about this carefully today. With all of your analytical strengths and abilities, just think of all that you could accomplish if you had the courage to take more risks! VIRGO — You usually like to think of yourself as being a scientific, logical person, Virgo, but today you may think more like a mystic. Your intuition is more active than usual, and you might come up with the same words as someone close to you. You might also feeling especially inspired to work in an innovative way. Use your Monday, November 16, intuition 2015 and go for it!

LIBRA — Social invitations or opportunities to participate in group activities should come your way for a few weeks, Libra. Your phone could ring off the hook. Relations with others should be warm, friendly, and congenial, so any sort of get-together you schedule or attend today should go well and be informative. In the evening, plan a romantic encounter with the special person in your life. SCORPIO — You’re thinking about your future career development, Scorpio, and you aren’t happy with your current situation. Advancement is on your mind. Perhaps you seek a promotion or you want another job or you prefer to change careers entirely. This is the time to get your head together and firm up your plans. Success is on the horizon, but only if you work toward it. SAGITTARIUS — Today is a good day to take time out for the small, sensual pleasures, Sagittarius. Perhaps this is a day for dessert, particularly chocolate or cheesecake. Don’t forget about the pleasures that nature can bring. You may want to spend time in a park or forest or next to a lake, breathing in the fresh air and soaking up the beauty. You may also enjoy indulging in a massage. CAPRICORN — Some time alone with a special person is definitely called for today, Capricorn. The social whirl of recent weeks has put you in touch with a lot of old friends and enabled you to make new ones. Now it’s time to relax at home. You might discuss your plans for your future together, perhaps regarding possible changes in your living situation. You might also give some thought to your career. AQUARIUS — The possibility of moving out of your neighborhood may have occurred to you before, Aquarius, but events today might have you finally making up your mind to do it. Perhaps too many good neighbors have moved away, or maybe some good fortune has made it possible for you to move to a bigger place. There is much to consider and decide before it happens, but if this is what you really want, go for it. PISCES — Today you might be pleasantly surprised to realize that you’re in far better financial shape than you thought. You could discover a hidden talent for money management that you didn’t think you had. You might also be anticipating a raise or some other increase in income. Optimism and enthusiasm are what drive you today, Pisces. Your hopes for the future seem more grounded in reality than ever.

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.

Zodo’s opens, then closes, after miscommunication By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Zodo’s Bowling & Beyond opened its indoor bowling alley and arcade last weekend but quickly shut down the indoor recreation Tuesday after Santa Barbara County health officials contacted the business. Before opening, the Goleta business called the county’s call center at 2-1-1. The call center representative said the bowling alley was permitted to reopen, so Zodo’s excitedly announced its re-entry. But under red-tier guidance, Zodo’s can only serve food as it had been doing. Santa Barbara County Public Health Department’s spokesperson Jackie Ruiz said a miscommunication stirred the confusion. “Our Public Health Team went back and clarified the guidance, that has not changed, with Zodo’s. They were very receptive to the information, and this is just an unfortunate case of miscommunication,” she said. “Our team did follow up with 2-1-1 about this as well.” Zodo’s immediately closed its indoor recreation and continues to serve food outdoors and indoors from noon to 10 p.m., as allowed by current health orders. “Thank you to everyone who came out to play over the past few days, our staff enjoyed seeing you and hearing our facility come back to life,” the bowling alley posted on its Facebook page. “Bowling and arcade will be back soon. Until then, we wish you good health.” When the county reaches the orange tier, family entertainment centers are allowed to reopen with 25% capacity. email: ahanshaw@newspress. com

SB BOWL

Continued from Page A1 is grateful for the grant program and will use funds to cover critical expenses such as payroll, maintenance, utilities, insurance and more. He added that during the time of the bowl going dark for the pandemic, crews shored up the hillside and implemented a retaining wall system after the landslide, kept its outreach programs going to help other arts nonprofits and are now working on a major stage renovation project for the next two weeks. Mr. Boller said the bowl hopes to return to full capacity and get back to business in the fall, but said “everything will have to fall into place” for that to happen. “We continue to make it a priority to make sure everyone feels a sense of safety for the performances here,” he said. Tobe Plough, chair of the foundation’s board of directors, was also at the press conference, and praised Rep. Carbajal and the federal government for assisting live venues, calling the grants “absolutely instrumental.” “We were good little squirrels and saved a lot of acorns in the way of dollars and built up a reserve fund supporting our entire staff for the last year because we knew when the venue

At left, “We can’t open venues like this safely unless we do have many more people vaccinated,” said Tobe Plough, chair of the Santa Barbara Bowl Foundation’s board of directors. At right, “We continue to make it a priority to make sure everyone feels a sense of safety for the performances here,” said Rick Boler, executive director of the Santa Barbara Bowl Foundation.

opened again, there would be a lot of artists out there wanting to play and if we laid all these people off, we’d have a tough time training new people to take that over,” he said. The staff includes 14 year-round employees. Mr. Plough added, “We can’t open venues like this safely unless we do have many more people vaccinated.” Rep. Carbajal echoed the push for the community to get vaccinated, saying, “The best thing we could do as a community,

if we want to get back on our feet and help venues and businesses get on their feet and our entire communities back on track, is get vaccinated and get vaccinated as soon as you can because that will allow us to go back to a sense of normalcy that will allow venues like the bowl and other businesses to thrive and prosper.” The Lobero Theatre is another venue eligible for the SVOG grants, and the executive director, David Asbell, told the News-Press the theater plans to apply. He said

that by the time June rolls around, the theater will have lost around $2.5 million. “It’s going to be at least a year before we can really get back to the level that we were at when the pandemic shut us down,” he said. “Some say there’s going to be this pent-up urge for people to come see shows; other people say it’s going to be that people are still going to be careful for a while. It’s going to take a while for society as a whole to reemerge, and we’ll be no different than that.” The executive director said that the theater will be tasked with restaffing practically the entire theater, along with ensuring all cleaning protocols are in place for reopening. However, he said the few staff members that still remain welcomed the governor’s announcement of reopening the economy on June 15. Mr. Asbell said he wanted to make one comment to the Santa Barbara community at large, and that is: “Count on the Lobero being there. We’ll be open. We’ll be ready.” To learn more about the SVOG grants and apply, visit sba.gov/ funding-programs/loans/covid-19relief-options/shuttered-venueoperators-grant.

SPORTS ROUNDUP

DuPont strikes twice to lead DP past Cabrillo By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Seba Dupont scored a pair of first-half goals as the Chargers defeated Cabrillo 2-1 in their Channel League home opener at Scott O’Leary Stadium. “Seba created multiple opportunities, along with our wing players in the first half,” coach Matt York said. “We played with the wind at our back, and it seemed like we were getting oneon-one breakaways for most of the 40 minutes.” York credited the defensive efforts of sophomore Ethan Foong in helping DP (2-1, 1-1 league) keep Cabrillo out of the net throughout the second half. SAN MARCOS 4, LOMPOC 0 Juan Escobar, Sergio Diaz, Miguel Mondragon and Caden Vom Steeg each found the back of the net in the Royals win over Lompoc on Thursday. Escobar took advantage of a penalty kick in the early going, while Diaz scored off an assist from Yahir Vasquez. Mondragon’s goal came on a corner kick. The

Royals improved to 4-0 on the year and 2-0 in Channel League play. GIRLS SOCCER DOS PUEBLOS 1, CABRILLO 0 Sasha Runyen headed in a corner kick from Sadie Stout as the Chargers won the road match. The Chargers (1-1-1, 1-1-0 Channel League) also received strong play from co-captains Precious Nwosu, Sasha Runyen and Payton Walker, coach Seth Asuncion said. SAN MARCOS 4, LOMPOC 0 Sofia Orozco and Evony Diaz scored two goals each to lead the Royals’ road win. SANTA BARBARA 0, SANTA YNEZ 0 Sophomore goalkeeper Myra Fonseca kept a clean sheet for the Dons in their road match. “We were not as clean as we wanted to be on our final pass around the box,” coach Willie Sims said. “Santa Ynez is never an easy place to go play when its windy but we are happy we came out with another shut out for the third game in a row.” PREP BASEBALL BISHOP DIEGO 12, CARPINTERIA 5

The Cardinals erupted for 14 hits in support of winning pitcher Ashton Pelly to hand the Warriors their first loss of the season at John Calderwood Field. Erich Goebel hit a home run and a single for Carpinteria (1-1). Statistics for Bishop Diego (2-3) were not provided by deadline. SAN MARCOS 10, SANTA YNEZ 2 Chase Hoover pitched three innings of one-hit relief, striking out six, to earn the win in the Royals’ Channel League opener at wind-swept Joe Mueller Field. The Pirates used two walks, a throwing error and a hit by Caleb Cassidy to take a 2-0 lead in the first inning. San Marcos (71) rallied with three runs in the fourth and seven in the fifth. Emmett Speake had two RBIs and Henry Manfredonia drove in another while scoring twice. Hoover also scored a pair of runs while Nicky Fell triggered the big seventh inning with a double.

Various cities in county anticipate economic boost through American Rescue Plan CHAMBERS

continue to wear masks,” Ms. Beard told the News-Press. As more businesses receive a green light for reopening, Ms. Beard is hopeful for the restaurant and hospitality industry in Solvang, which she said was among the sectors hardest hit by the pandemic. While outdoor dining has helped, reopening with less restrictions will allow businesses to once again accommodate customers at capacity. “That (is) my biggest hope for the tier system going away, that people would be traveling midweek and our restaurants would be more full,” Ms. Beard said. Various cities across Santa Barbara County are also anticipating an economic boost through the Biden Administration’s American Rescue Plan, which is funneling money to cities and towns nationwide to aid economic recovery. Through the plan, Santa Barbara is slated to receive nearly $22.5 million, Lompoc will get $13.19 million and Solvang will receive $1.1 million. The totals allotted to each city are based on population rates. In total, Santa Barbara County is set to receive $86.6 million.

the News-Press via email. “This hope may encourage community members to remain committed to common-sense health measures, like wearing masks, because there is now the expectation of a pathway to normalcy. Being able to rely on a date, and expect consistency, will provide long-term stability, helping our community thrive.” She later added, “Having a target date is extremely promising as it allows our community businesses to properly prepare and plan for a full reopening.” Despite a less-restrictive reopening on the horizon, Chamber officials throughout the Central Coast say they are still promoting safety precautions within their business sectors. Tracy Beard, the executive director of the Solvang Chamber of Commerce, said not much will change for businesses in Solvang, who have been following safe practices since June 1 of last year. “I think we’ve all long-awaited the June 15 reopening, but it does not mean our pandemic is over … We’re going to continue to be safe, and we’re going to

Ruth Ida Fischer Radon was born in Milwaukee Wisconsin on November 8, 1928 to Alfred Emil Fischer and Elsbeth Ida Draeger Fischer. Both of her parents were recent immigrants from Germany. Ruth grew up in Milwaukee until 16 when she went to college at Northwest Nazarene University in Idaho studying pathology and also excelled at tennis, winning the women’s singles championship one of the years. She became a licensed lab technician at 21. While at college her parents moved to the San Fernando Valley following some friends from Milwaukee. Ruth joined them in California after college and worked at the V.A. Hospital in Sherman Oaks in the early ‘50s. Another move had her parents relocating to Santa Barbara where she met and married Marvin Randall while attending UCSB to complete her degree in zoology. During this time Ruth was also a violinist for the Santa Barbara Symphony Orchestra. After the marriage to Marvin ended, Ruth met and married George Radon in 1964. After a brief move to Morro Bay, the family landed in Avalon on Catalina Island in 1969, staying there until 1979 when they moved back to Santa Barbara. Throughout her career of 40+ years, Ruth enjoyed working as a medical lab technician finishing her career at Santa Barbara Medical Foundation Clinic, retiring in the early ‘90s. Very active members of their church at Living Faith Church in Goleta and residents of Rancho Santa Barbara, George and Ruth were well loved by all who knew them. Actively donating time and resources to many charities, they were a blessing to many who never met them as well as their family and many many friends. Preceded in death by husband George in 2018, Ruth is survived by daughters Carolyne and Julie and 7 grandchildren. Burial at Goleta Cemetery, Friday April 9 at 11am.

TEMPERATURE The angels danced – and perhaps Margie did too – as Margie’s Lord and Savior ushered her into her eternal home in heaven on March 20, 2021. Margie had a long and beloved life on earth, and will be greatly missed; we will rejoice together when we see her again! Margie was born Margot Diemer on March 12, 1930, in Karlsruhe, Germany, the eldest of four children born to Karl Philip and Maria Diemer. From her earliest years, she helped take care of others; her siblings, her cousins, her mom. She grew up in the midst of WWII: her father was killed early in the war; her home was bombed (more than once!), her mother was seriously ill and hospitalized; and she and her siblings were sent to the countryside for safety, separated from mom and each other. Margie helped her mom gather the family together again, and the family continued to face bombings and separations, trying to stay together as much as they could during the war. After the war, Margie started working as an administrative assistant in a local company and helped take care of her siblings. Then in 1950, Margie was a bridesmaid at the wedding of a friend, and there she met Earl Brown, a young US soldier who changed her life direction. In April 1952, she sailed alone from Germany to Canada, to wait for Earl to return from active duty in Germany. When she arrived, she knew no one, had a total of $15, and got a job as a nanny. Earl returned to the US in July 1952, headed to Canada, and they were married in August in Toronto. Earl’s younger brother Fred lived with Margie while Earl returned to the US to find work; Margie and Fred joined Earl in the US in early 1953. Margie proudly became a US citizen. They lived in Blythe, CA, then later in Beaumont, where their two children, Karl and Inge, were born, and then in Oceanside. In 1970 the family moved to Santa Barbara. Margie and Earl were involved for many years at Calvary Baptist Church; Margie began working in the children’s department from the day they started attending and stayed for almost 30 years. She was involved in many other church ministries, including Helping Hand, and could usually be found helping in the church kitchen. Later, she joined Emanuel Lutheran Church, where she helped with ministries for the blind. Once the children started school, Margie worked in food service at a private dorm for students at UCSB. A few years later, she started her own business as an independent sales representative for promotional items; she managed her business for 34 years, finally retiring at the age of 88! Margie and Earl also hosted foreign exchange students in their home. Margie and Earl traveled to Europe every few years to visit with Margie’s family, to see Inge after she moved to Germany, and to travel in Europe. After Earl’s death in 2006, Margie continued to visit family there. Margie always had time to help others; visiting the homebound; chauffeuring others to appointments; calling and caring for those in need; and she enjoyed many afternoons of board games with her friends! Margie was active and involved in service until shortly before her death. Margie was a strong lady, strong in her faith, her ambition, her integrity, her generosity, and her love and service to others. Margie leaves her beloved children, Karl and Inge (Dirk), her adored grandchildren, Tim, Andy and Lucy, and her many, many friends. Memorial contributions may be made to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital Foundation or Serenity House, part of VNA Health in Santa Barbara, in memory and appreciation of their excellent care for Margie in her last days. A memorial gathering may be held in the summer.
