The Santa Barbara Unified School District selected McKinley Elementary School to become a dual-language immersion campus by the end of 2027. Some community members are questioning the district’s choice. Roseanne Crawford, an advocate for neighborhood schools, is worried about families in McKinley’s enrollment area who may not want to participate. Incoming kindergarten students can enroll in their neighborhood’s school or transfer to McKinley for dual-language immersion. Students already within McKinley’s boundaries get first priority, and they may also transfer out. The district sent a survey to community members in January and February 2020 to see what residents thought about the possibility of adding a duallanguage immersion school on Santa Barbara’s westside. Of the 769 responses, 81% had a high or very high level of support for the program. Almost three-fourths of parents said they had high or very high interest in sending their student to a dual-language elementary school. Just 38 people answered negatively to the idea, and they were mainly concerned that students should learn English first to perform well on exams. The program starts in kindergarten, with 90% of the instruction in Spanish. Gradually, Please see LANGUAGE on A2

Framed for fine arts Allan Hancock College marks construction progress By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Allan Hancock College celebrated construction progress on its fine arts complex Thursday morning. The school’s officials, alongside the project’s architect and construction management team, signed the final beam to finish the building’s frame. “It’s an exciting day,” Dr. Kevin Walthers, the Santa Maria college’s president, said during the short event. “We all get to sign the beam, and hopefully nobody ever sees it. I think that it will be up there forever. We’ll all know it’s there, and we can point to it for our kids and grandkids in the future, so we’re excited.” The beam signing is part of a traditional “topping out” ceremony and was live streamed on the college’s YouTube page. “This is a real milestone

in the project,” said Craig Shallenberger, project manager. “Where we are only five and a half months into the project to actually be at this stage is a real achievement in our eyes, and we’re very proud of where we’re at so far.” Construction is planned to be complete by fall 2022 on the two-story, 88,000 squarefoot complex. It features a 400-seat concert and recital venue and classrooms for the college’s dance, drama, film, graphics, music, photography and multimedia arts and communications programs. Voter-approved Bond Measure I funded the project alongside support from the California Community College Chancellor’s office and the estate of former Hancock faculty member Patricia Boyd. email: ahanshaw@newspress. com

Gorda certainly took a gamble when she left her home in Las Vegas. While she may have wanted to escape the city lights for a while or may have lost her way, it seemed that the odds were against the Chihuahua returning to her owner and her hometown, after somehow winding up in Santa Barbara County. However, Gorda’s microchip changed all of that, and allowed for a heartfelt, tear-filled reunion Thursday afternoon between her and her owner that consisted of a lot of snuggling, petting and loving. The 13-year-old Chihuahua went missing in July 2020, and her owner filed a lost dog report, but had no luck. Less than a week ago, Gorda was picked up as a stray by Santa Barbara County Animal Services, and staff members used the microchip technology to determine the email address of the owner, who delightedly responded

in less than five minutes, writing, “My baby!” Michelle Maltun, the community outreach coordinator for County Animal Services, was the liaison between the owner and her longlost Chihuahua. “She (the owner) said that she let the dog out to go to the bathroom for five minutes in her son’s yard and never saw her (Gorda) again,” Ms. Maltun told the News-Press. Gorda was found in good condition, healthy and stable, which leads Animal Services staff to believe Gorda was taken care of by somebody somewhere for the past year. How the small Chihuahua managed to survive interstate travel, Ms. Maltun said, “We have no idea.” However, Animal Services didn’t hesitate to return Gorda to her surprised owner. Using Pilots N Paws — a nonprofit with volunteer pilots and plane owners who arrange the rescuing, sheltering, transporting and adopting of

Following his announcement that all U.S. troops in Afghanistan will be withdrawn by Sept. 11, 2021, President Joe Biden has received both praise and criticism from lawmakers, veterans and regular American citizens. During his press conference Wednesday, President Biden defended his decision, saying, “I know there are many who will loudly insist that diplomacy cannot succeed without a robust U.S. military presence to stand as leverage. We gave that argument a decade. It never proved effective, not (when) we had 98,000 troops in Afghanistan and not now that we’re down to a few thousand.” However, Republican (and some Democratic) lawmakers warn that leaving too early or withdrawing without proper conditions could end poorly, especially if the security situation deteriorates. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, referred to the withdrawal as “abandoning our partners and retreating in the face of the Taliban,” according to national media reports. The Democrats in Congress who opposed the president’s decision expressed concern with human and civil rights for Afghans, especially after progress made as a result of the American presence. Others came to the conclusion that there was no easy answer, and President Biden’s hands were somewhat tied because the Taliban could have potentially never had the intention to cooperate. Jerry Farmer, the vice

president of the Santa Barbara Veterans Foundation, warned of a bad ending to the withdrawal for Afghans. “It’s not going to be good when we pull out (for) the minorities (and) the women in that country,” he told the News-Press. “Any kind of democratic progress they made, I’ve got a feeling it’s going to end, and it’s going to end very badly … It’s going to be very difficult, if not impossible, to really bring them any help.” Mr. Farmer said he supports getting U.S. troops out of there, but he hopes the president will deal with Afghanistan “from a long distance like Israel does with its enemies” and “keep it quiet.” “I think it would be best for us to keep our mouths shut. If the Taliban or ISIS or any other group starts to get a foothold in there, I think we should go in and take care of it, but not telegraph our moves,” he said. Under the deal the Trump administration signed with the Taliban in 2020, U.S. troops wouldn’t be withdrawn until insurgents met commitments such as breaking from alQaeda and reducing violence in the country, but U.S. military officials say the Taliban has yet to uphold those commitments. “They (the Taliban) are basically saying, ‘We’ve already made the deal with Trump. Anything after May 1 is open for us to attack,’ which is nasty,” Mr. Farmer said. Retired Lt. John Blankenship, founder of the Pierre Claeyssens Veterans Foundation, was stationed in Iwakuni, Japan, and then in Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam, where he flew T-34s, T-28s, S-2s and more. He said that, speaking as a Vietnam vet, “Some

ARROYO GRANDE — A Goleta man was arrested by Arroyo Grande police on Thursday in connection with sexual abuse of a child that occurred around 1990, police said. In August 2020, Arroyo Grande police began its investigation into Daniel Berenguer, 61, of Goleta. A search warrant was served at Mr. Berenguer’s Goleta residence Thursday, and he was arrested after a San Luis Obispo judge issued a Ramey arrest warrant for the case, according to authorities. Detectives have identified two victims, but believe there could be more. Mr. Berenguer is from the Goleta and Santa Barbara ara and coached girls basketball in the early 1990s, police said. Anyone with information regarding the investigation is encouraged to contact Detective Jeff Smith at 805-473-5122. Mr. Berenguer was booked at the San Luis Obispo County Jail on suspicion of lewd acts with a child under 14, forced oral copulation with a child under 14 and continuous sexual abuse

Arraignment delayed in Kristin Smart case SAN LUIS OBISPO — Two days after their arrests in the 1996 disappearance of Cal Poly student Kristin Smart, Paul and

Court Judge Craig van Rooyen, Paul Flores was wearing a suit and tie, while Ruben was wearing an orange jumpsuit, according to the San Luis Obispo Tribune. Prior to the hearing, Paul Flores’ attorney, Robert Sanger, filed a motion requesting a protective order in the case, which was granted by Judge Van Rooyen. The protective order prohibits “any extrajudicial statements by any lawyer, party, witness, court official or law enforcement officer concerning this case,” though does not apply to court staff communicating with the media about scheduling, according to reports. Paul Flores was the last person to have seen Ms. Smart before her disappearance. The Smart family issued a statement following the hearing, which read, “After nearly 25 years of waiting, today’s delay in the arraignment process was not unexpected or surprising. Make no mistake, we have begun the final quest to bring justice for Kristin. We know we are in good hands with the San Luis Obispo County District Attorney’s Office, and we will wait patiently for the process to commence.”

students build to learning 50% in Spanish in fifth grade. Most studies see long-term achievement in dual-language immersion, showing the bilingual students exceeding the test scores of their monolingual peers in junior high. The district describes the process as “going slow to go fast,” meaning slowly building the language will help students get ahead in their teens. “The students are carrying a double cognitive and linguistic load, which is going to slow them down a little bit, but imagine that that load is going to lighten up when they’re able to do more of that transfer from one language to another,” Maria Larios-Horton, executive director of diversity, equity and family engagement, told the News-Press. “So then they’re just gonna skyrocket after that.” But not everyone is sold on the concept. Skeptics want a quicker comprehension of English. Currently 13 students have opted to transfer into the program, and six students have transferred to another school. But transportation is an obstacle for families who transfer. “If you’re on a transfer, no, we’re not going to bus somebody from one neighborhood to another neighborhood,” Ms.

cases. All other areas reported fewer than three new cases, with the federal prison in Lompoc, the Santa Ynez Valley and the South County unincorporated area reporting no new cases Thursday. The county is continuing its vaccine efforts despite a pause in the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine. According to the county’s

data dashboard, 22.9% of Santa Barbara County’s population has been fully vaccinated. As of Thursday, 9% of the county’s ventilators are in use, 66% of hospital beds are in use and 78% of adult ICU beds are in use.

Larios-Horton said. “Even districts with dual language immersion programs, it’s a rarity to find a district that provides transportation, either for students leaving a school that’s the DLI school or coming into a DLI school.” Ms. Crawford said she is worried about students losing the benefits of a neighborhood school and is part of a “grassroots group” worried about the change. An elementary charter school in the district, Adelante Charter School, already provides duallanguage immersion with its own leadership. But the school is full, and the district thinks it’s time to provide the program in one of its campuses. Adelante’s eastside location narrowed the district’s view to westward schools to become the dual-immersion campus. Many elementaries seemed to have their own flavor, like Montessori or International Baccalaureate, but McKinley was one of two that administrators thought would make a good campus for the program. District officials conducted a feasibility study, and McKinley’s demographics stood out with a large population of bilingual and monolingual Spanishspeaking students. The study also recommended the full grade level converts rather than having a class of traditional teaching and a class of dual immersion. “It just made sense to start it there,” Ms. Larios-Horton said.

“We also happened to have hired a new principal there. And she has experience with dual language immersion from Oxnard, so we kind of scored in that area that we had in principal already there with experience,” she said. “So all roads lead to McKinley.” Elena Garcia-Yoshitomi is finishing her second school year as McKinley’s principal. The new dual-immersion teachers were hired around the same time, with the intention they could teach dual language if the school added the program. Administrators are currently touring families through

McKinley’s campus from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturdays. Parents must reserve a 30-minute spot in advance at forms.gle/5uKhfRKF8GfqrnzV8. Ms. Crawford also plans to attend, hoping to influence the district’s offerings. She hopes for an option for students within McKinley’s boundaries to study in a traditional classroom. The program was approved by the school board in April 2020 as part of the district’s META (Multilingual Excellence Transforming Achievement) plan.

Board of Supervisors divided over cannabis amendment By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

The Board of Supervisors wrestled with prioritizing a cannabis amendment over other Santa Barbara County projects during a budget workshop Wednesday. That left officials divided over which projects take precedence in the Planning and Development Department’s budget this fiscal year. Department officials initially presented their top projects for the coming years during a Supervisors meeting March 9. The prioritized projects included a number of statemandated projects in addition to projects requested by county officials. These propositions are included in the department’s Strategic Plan, and supervisors approved the plan in a 3-2 vote during the March 9 meeting. But Wednesday’s meeting had some supervisors puzzling over where the money in next year’s budget should go, raising the question of whether a cannabis amendment should be prioritized above projects listed in the Strategic Plan. The cannabis amendment, which was not originally included in the Strategic Plan, aims to address the concentration of cannabis operations in the Santa Rita

Hills. Supervisors approved the zoning permit for the Santa Rita Hills nearly a year ago in a 3-2 decision, yet officials are now considering an amendment that could limit the acreage of each cannabis project in the area. The amendment to the cannabis ordinance has not been passed by supervisors, but they expect an update on the operations in the Santa Rita Hills in the coming months. The main dilemma comes down to the timeline of projects. County Executive Office CEO Mona Miyasato told supervisors there are essentially two paths: Either the supervisors allocate more money to increase staffing to enforce the cannabis amendment, or they must slow the progress of other longrange projects on Planning and Development’s radar to prioritize the amendment. Lisa Plowman, the director of Planning and Development, told supervisors either path is tricky, but if they decide to delay state-mandated projects, they could find themselves in a sticky situation with state officials. “There isn’t any magic bullet here,” Ms. Plowman said. “It’s not to say we wouldn’t take direction from the board and choose one of those other mandated elements to delay, there’s just risk associated with it.” This risk, she later explained,

has to do with the loss of earned grants if the department does not enact projects on a certain timeline. First District Supervisor Das Williams voiced support throughout Wednesday’s budget meeting regarding the cannabis amendment, claiming a “onesentence” change in policy would impact only a few of the project requests awaiting approval in the Santa Rita Hills. Mr. Williams expressed that he did not see how projects needed to be shifted in order to enact policy change. “It’s hard for me to conceive of how we cannot make one sentence of a change of public policy because all the dominos will fall and all projects will collapse and the state will come after us,” Mr. Williams said. “It’s just too much.” Supervisor Steve Lavagnino of the 5th District pushed back on this point from Mr. Williams, explaining that the amendment is bigger than just changing one sentence. “To say that it’s a onesentence, that’s way too simple,” Mr. Lavagnino said. “Nothing in the cannabis ordinance is one sentence. It affects different things, and now we’re getting way down in this rabbit hole … One of the reasons concentration is so high there, we have to remember, is because we banned it in so many other

locations.” After a lengthy discussion, the board was unable to meet an agreement on what projects should be prioritized in Planning and Development without more information on the state of cannabis operations in the Santa Rita Hills. They agreed to hold a meeting with Planning and Development in a few weeks to receive an update before determining what projects will be prioritized. For the coming fiscal year, Planning and Development is proposing an operating budget of $27.1 million. The county’s General Fund would account for $3.6 million of that budget. Ms. Plowman also requested an expansion of approximately $74,000, which would allow the department to hire an enterprise leader to oversee budget and fiscal responsibilities for the administration division. Other departments within the county’s Community Resources and Public Facilities sector also presented budget proposals to the board Wednesday. The Public Works Department proposed a budget of approximately $147.7 million for FY 2021-22, the Agricultural Commission proposed a budget of $6.8 million and Community Services proposed a budget of about $60.5 million. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

Santa Ynez man wins $5 million in scratch-off win By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

One lucky Santa Ynez resident took home $5 million in winnings from a California State Lottery scratch-off that was purchased at the Valley Fresh Market in Solvang. The winner, who has not been identified, is a local man who regularly visits the store to purchase 100X scratchers and

breakfast, store owner Greg King told the News-Press Thursday. Lottery authorities confirmed the win earlier this week, Mr. King said. In his experience, the store owner said, it’s common for stores with big winners to have repeat winners. He’s hoping that will be the case at his store. “I’m super happy for the guy and super happy for the valley because it’s been my experience that once there’s a big winner somewhere

they tend to pile up,” Mr. King said. The store owner, who also regularly purchases scratchoff tickets, said he will now exclusively purchase scratch-offs for his own store. “I’m never buying another ticket from another place again,” Mr. King said. The Valley Fresh Market will receive a portion of the $5 million win, which amounts to

approximately $25,000 before taxes. Since the store opened two years ago, it has not yet made a profit, which is typical for grocery stores in their first few years of opening, Mr. King said. He explained he plans to funnel the money back into the grocery store to help pay for bills and other expenses. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

At right, Michelle Maltun, the community outreach coordinator for County Animal Services, holds Gorda, a dog that was found in Santa Barbara but when microchipped, actually belonged in Las Vegas where her owner lives.

FOUND

Continued from Page A1 animals — Gorda was onboard a flight out of the Santa Maria Airport by noon Thursday, free of charge, headed home. “It’s odd, but it happens,” Angela Yates, the director of County Animal Services, told the NewsPress about finding a stray animal from another state. “We often joke among ourselves — if only these animals could talk. Tell us the story about what happened!” The director said Animal Services has utilized Pilots N Paws in the past, transporting dogs to Colorado and other locations. Staff is also currently working on flying a long-term pitbull to Montana. “I don’t know what we would do without them (Pilots N Paws volunteers). It’s a really special service that saves lives,” Ms. Yates said. She also pointed out that

Gorda’s story highlights the value in microchipping pets, a cause Animal Services not only supports but encourages. Gov. Gavin Newsom approved a measure in September 2020 requiring shelters and animal control agencies to microchip all dogs and cats with information before releasing them to adoptive owners, which is reportedly going into effect at the start of 2022. “We have no idea what happened to Gorda. Somebody could have taken her, somebody could have found her and picked her up off the street,” Ms. Yates said. “This is the miracle of microchips and how we are such strong advocates of getting every animal microchipped and making sure microchipped information is updated. “Microchipping is the No. 1 way that you can ensure if your pet gets lost accidentally .... your pet can find its way safely home. We can reunite the owner with his/her animal in a matter of a few hours

if we have that microchip and the registration is up to date.” The director said that pets can run away and get lost as a result of many different things, from kids accidentally letting animals outside to smaller pets slipping out the screen door to someone setting off a firework and scaring a pet away. In addition, she expressed the importance of keeping the microchip information updated, because “it’s really heartbreaking when the animal has a microchip and has no information with it.” “She (Gorda’s owner) had just lost hope,” Ms. Yates said. “It’s just devastating. When an animal goes missing, you don’t know. It’s just this unanswered question … You don’t know if it’s alive or not, but to have your animal come back after all this time is just really special.” County Animal Services is in the process collaborating with local nonprofits to launch a free microchipping initiative this summer for Santa Barbara cats,

dogs and bunnies. The target date is sometime in June, before the Fourth of July, as fireworks season is when the highest number of animals go missing, according to Ms. Yates. “Someday, we want every single owned animal companion — dog, cat, rabbit — in the county microchipped. It’s an ambitious goal, but an achievable goal in the community with enough outreach and partnership,” she said. “We believe that strongly in microchipping. “It’s a way to keep animals out of the shelter. If we make sure they can go back to their parents, back to their families that love them, they won’t wind up lost, rehomed in the shelter or worse.” Visit projectpetsafe.org/ microchipping.php to learn more about microchipping and where pets can be microchipped in the county. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

problems are unsolvable.” “I feel like we went there with the greatest intentions to Afghanistan, and we gave it the best we could, but it’s time to bring them home,” he told the News-Press. “I think it’ll be pretty much a mess before too long. It’s always been that way since the Russians went in, and even before that … We were not able to really make a lot of headway losing the kids we did and the amount of money, which is not as valuable as the kids, but I still don’t think another 20 (years) is going to make a whole lot of difference.” The veteran said America went to Vietnam with “the greatest intentions” as well, but added that the United States tends to go in with great intentions without a solid plan to exit. “We ought to have a strategy of how we’re getting out once we go in,” Mr. Blankenship said. “It seems like part of what we do … There’s ones you win like the second World War, but from then on, we haven’t really had a major victory. Korea saw a draw, people felt like we lost in Vietnam, and now we go and spend time (in Afghanistan) and we don’t seem to solve the problem. “It’s a whole different way of life there. Democracy doesn’t really work for them, and I don’t know when that’ll ever change in a place like Afghanistan.” Martin Shaffer is a disabled Vietnam veteran and has been a member of the Central Coast Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter 982, in Guadalupe for more than a decade. He offered his comments on behalf of himself and not the VVA, saying: “Get them the hell home.”

INLAND

She was born December 11, 1962 and was raised on the Mesa. She attended Washington Elementary School, La Cumbre Junior High School, and Santa Barbara High School. She obtained her accounting degree from UCSB, thus continuing her accounting career locally until her passing. Pamela and her family lived opposite Ledbetter Beach where they enjoyed many various beach activities and ocean water sports. She surfed the Point as often as possible. In 1985, she was a member of the Santa Barbara Channel Relay Swim as an event of Semana Nautical. She grew up in Santa Barbara in the time of stop lights at HWY 101 and no need for a house key. As a child one of her favorite things to do when the boats came in to the harbor, was to visit the Castagnola Brothers Fish Market and count the lobsters in the tank followed by going to “Don and Shirley’s Pony Rides”. She was also a Blue Bird/ Campfire Girl, filing her Vest with Badges from various projects around town. Her zest for life began with Miss Lillian’s School of dance. She loved participating in Old Spanish Days Fiesta. She danced on the steps of the Santa Barbara Mission, at the Court House, and Fiesta Parades. She even was a Fiesta Flower Girl. In 1991, she rode in the Presidente’s Family Carriage cheering “Viva La Fiesta” the entire parade route with her family. From climbing to the highest step on White Rock or to the highest platform of the Coral Casino Tower, she jumped off fearlessly. Pamela loved music since the first time she was old enough to sing. As written by Pamela, “The person I am today is all based on one aspect, my love of music. Music has embraced many moments of my life. Moments that otherwise would have just slipped into the back of my mind, never to be thought of again.” She loved the Santa Barbara Bowl since her first concert, The King Family. Music was a constant in her life, from playing flute and guitar to playing the organ and singing with her mother in the Santa Barbara Treble Clefs. She also performed with her mother at various venues around town showcasing her original pieces as well as old time favorites singing and playing her guitar. As much as Pamela loved school, she also throughly enjoyed visits with her family to Disneyland, Hearst Castle, and a memorable trip to Hawaii in 1973. She also traveled to New York with her father and sisters many times for swimming events thru the years. Later on in life while in the Military with her husband Steve, her favorite station was when they were in Italy. Pamela embraced the culture and cuisine, even bringing back her favorite recipes to share with the rest of her family. For her Mother’s 50th Surprise Birthday Party, she cooked an Italian Feast. Many, many thanks to all of the doctors that attended to her over the years. Pamela is preceded in death by her mother, Mignon Barthels Willhite. She is survived by her father Dr. Herbert Barthels (Mareva), step father Roger Willhite (Marlene), children Caitlin and Steven Stanbrough, her sisters Peggy Escobar (David) and Patti Gutshall (Todd), nieces Amanda Gutshall, Megan Gutshall, and Juliana Escobar, nephew Mathew Escobar, uncle Richard Barthels of Sacramento, aunts Dr. Katherine Barthels of Atascadero and Karen Barthels Denny of Palos Verdes, cousins Dr. Trevor Denny (Ashley) of Santa Barbara, Dr. Maryjune Denny Wagner (Phil) of Menlo Park, Dr. Garrick Denny (Trina) of Palos Verdes and Dr. Cabot Denny of Palos Verdes. Given the pandemic, a memorial will be held at a later date. Donations may be made in her name to DAWG or Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation. “Deep down in our hearts dear Pam there will always be a melody for you.”

GOODMAN, Emma Myfanwy

She will be greatly missed by her daughter Hannah, granddaughter Harper, her father Sandy, three sisters, brother, a loving clan of nieces and nephews, cousins and her dog, Poppy. A true visionary, Emma created Alchemy Wellness Spa, a healing sanctuary that provided transformational treatments, bioactive foods and medicinal elixirs to support a dynamic lifestyle. The cafe & spa offerings were ahead of their time. Emma was a master healer, specializing in craniosacral therapy and energy medicine. She had a profound and positive impact in Santa Barbara, inspiring a vibrant community of healers locally. She was a magnet for inspirational leaders from around the world. Emma was elegant and stylish, strong-minded and charismatic. She was a dear friend to many, and made friends wherever she went. Among many things, she had a natural gift for creating extraordinarily beautiful interiors and gardens. She spent many days at her favorite beach, Butterfly, where she loved to swim along the buoys. She will be remembered especially for her thoughtful, generous nature and vivacious personality. Emma was a beautiful being and her light will be with us forever. Her essence will live long in our hearts.

GYMNAITES, Robert

1924 - 2021 Lifelong Santa Barbara resident Robert “Bob” Gymnaites peacefully passed away on March 17, 2021 at the age of 96 surrounded by his loving family. He and his wife of 72 years Eleanor (Garavatti) Gymnaites moved up to Clearlake, California in November of 2020 so that they could live with and be helped by their only son, Mike Gymnaites and his wife Madlyn. Bob’s health was already declining but he was able to spend his last few months in the company of his son, daughter-in-law, grandkids and greatgrandchildren. Bob was born and raised in Santa Barbara (August 17, 1924) and served in the army for 3 years as a sergeant in the 51st Fighter Control Squadron. He spent most of that time in Burma and India and worked in radio communication and repair. After his honorable discharge in 1946 he returned home to Santa Barbara and in 1948 married his childhood family friend Eleanor Garavatti. The two of them lived in a small cottage on Maple Street in back of Roosevelt School where his only child (Michael) was born. Bob worked as a radio repairman at Sears and then Bennet’s Music Store before starting his career at General Telephone Company. He stayed in the telephone business (managing the switch room and the microwave department) until his retirement in 1984. Bob was an avid runner, swimmer, artist, bicyclist, coffee drinker and sailor…which was his main hobby. He spent many years sailing up and down the coast and island waters, most of the time with his wife Ellie on board as first mate. He was even commodore of the SB Sea Shell Association for 2 years in the early ‘60s and spent much time on his sailboat which was moored inside the old Santa Barbara harbor. However, his greatest skill was as an incredible “Mr. Fix-it” and builder. In 1953 he and Ellie purchased a lot on Dorking Place in Mission Canyon. It was here that they built (almost single handedly) their first home, and lived in it until they moved to upper State Street in 1977. Bob also donated much time at the Old Mission SB, doing electrical repairs, flower arrangements, construction and even building many of the statue figures used in the outdoor Christmas manger. During his middle years he learned to surf with his son Michael and later took up windsurfing and kayaking. He also loved to travel with his wife in their small motorhome. They would often tow their sailboat up and down the west coast adventuring along many waterways and lakes. Bob had a full, active and productive life and “ran a good race until the finish.” He is survived by his wife Eleanor (age 95), his son Michael Gymnaites and wife Madlyn, grandsons Jon and Ryan Gymnaites and 4 greatgrandchildren, brother-in-law Whitney Newland (Judy Newland..wife), nieces Nancy (Newland) Terry, Sue (Newland) Broderick and nephew Craig Price. Bob will be fondly remembered and missed by all.

“It’s not going to end the way they think it’s going to end because of the type of war that it is,” Mr. Shaffer told the NewsPress. “It’s not about land or anything. It’s religion.” The veteran said he was skeptical about meeting the exit date of Sept. 11. “I think it’s about time somebody made a decision and hopefully it will all go through the higher ups and get done,” he said. “I don’t know if it’ll happen by the date, but I want to be hopeful and believe that we have somebody that is going to see it through instead of just turn a blind eye.” Overall though, Mr. Shaffer’s message was simple: “Get them kids home. I’m sure they’ll have somewhere else to send them.” President Biden said that over the next few months, officials will determine “what a continued U.S. diplomatic presence in Afghanistan will look like, including how we will ensure the security of our diplomats,” according to reporting by the Military Times. While Mr. Farmer said he’s not a veteran himself but supports his veteran family and friends, he offered a reminder: “All these decisions that are made about war and policy are made by politicians — not our servicemen and women. They’re there to do a job. They don’t make policy; they follow orders. “So when people say look at what the veterans have done — no, no, no. Look at your elected officials. Those are the people that put those people where they’re at … And especially with people like us in Santa Barbara … If it wasn’t for our active-duty service men and women past, present and future, we’d have none of this.”

This flower power horse, created by Laurie Owens, is one of nearly a dozen horses on display as part of the Painted Horse Roundup in Santa Ynez. Ms. Owens was inspired by 1960s flower pop art.

Giddy up!

By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

rightly colored wooden horses are now hoofing it in Santa Ynez, fulfilling a project championed by the Chamber of Commerce to spice up the Western-style town with art. Created by local artists, the horses are each unique in color and character. Some are patterned with flowers or with colored blocks, while others feature intricate designs and symbols. The project, known as the Painted Horse Roundup, started in the fall when Linda Small, executive director of the Santa Ynez Chamber of Commerce, began brainstorming ways to bring public art to the township. During a trip to the post office in Orcutt, she came across a painted cow that a local artist had created, and it gave her an idea. “(The cow) just really made me smile, so I brought the idea back to the board of directors, and I said this just really made me smile, it looks like so much fun … I thought it would be a really fun project, but of course, our thing would be something more Western,” Ms. Small told the News-Press. Hence, the Painted Horse Roundup was born. The Chamber of Commerce will celebrate the completion of the Painted Horse Roundup through an event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

During the event, members of the community can meet with artists at the Artisan Market on the corner of Meadowvale Road and State Route 246. Event attendees will be provided with a map displaying the location of each of 10 horses throughout the township. Those who visit each horse will be entered for a prize drawing. The herd of painted horses was created by local artists ranging in art experience and background. Each horse has its own unique design and inspiration. Local artist Susan Cobb decided to paint her horse realistically — but with a twist. Ms. Cobb’s design features hues of blue on the coat, mane and tail of the horse, using color and shadow to create a realistic-looking bronco. Once she began painting with blue, Ms. Cobb said the horse looked like something from a dream. “That’s what I call it — a dream horse,” Ms. Cobb told the News-Press. “It’s kind of realistic compared to the other ones, but of course, there’s not a blue horse. When you look at it, you can definitely tell it’s painted like a horse, but it’s blue.” Ms. Cobb calls herself an art “hobbyist,” though she is constantly working on some kind of painting or pottery project. She works with acrylics and enjoys painting wildlife. Some of her paintings are on sale at the Baker’s Table in downtown Santa Ynez. Please see HORSES on B2

UCSB Arts & Lectures to present Dalai Lama By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama and Pico Iyer will participate in a free, virtual conversation at 8:30 p.m. May 18 to keynote the new Creating Hope initiative sponsored by UCSB Arts & Lectures. “Creating Hope programs will strengthen human connection, bridge our partisan divides, promote well being, joy and compassion and envision positive

change,” said Celesta Billeci, Miller McCune executive director of Arts & Lectures. “We can create hope, but only if we do it together.” Other virtual spring events in the Creating Hope series include a presentation by Bryan Stevenson, attorney and author, on April 30 and a performance by cellist YoYo Ma and pianist Kathryn Scott on May 5. “We look forward to the opportunity to hear a message of encouragement from His Holiness the Dalai Lama, especially at

this challenging time, and to the hope and inspiration that each of our guest speakers and performers will impart through their unique stories and talents,” said Dr. Henry T. Yang, the UCSB chancellor. The new initiative evolved from discussions within A&L that date back to 2019, said Ms. Billeci, “when we began to look at emotional health and mental wellness, and with it, the need to experience joy, to give and receive kindness and compassion

— especially within the increasingly rancorous national conversation — as possible topics for public lectures and education programs. “As we began to explore the concept of hope, presenting programs by Dr. Vivek Murthy on loneliness as a public health issue, and author Anne Lamott on the stubborn nature of hope, we realized that Creating Hope would be the umbrella for A&L programs from now into 2022. “For decades, our mission has

been to ‘educate, inspire and entertain,’ and this is certainly a time that calls for inspiration. But hope happens through education and entertainment, too . . . We are living through a moment that calls for optimism, resilience, courage and vision— a tall order!” Ms. Billeci added. “Creating Hope is how Arts & Lectures is answering the call.” For more information, email info@artsandlectures.ucsb.edu. email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

She said the horses “enrich the experience of Santa Ynez,” and she’s hopeful locals and tourists alike will take the time to enjoy the eye-catching stallions. “I’ve had many people tell me that they just really got a big kick out of seeing (the horses), and it made them smile in a time when not too many people have been smiling.”

CODEWORD PUZZLE

SUDOKU

Thought for Today “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.” — Steve Jobs

ARIES — If you have to deal with some disappointment today, try not to let it get you down, Aries. You may receive a letter or phone call that brings less than favorable news. Perhaps someone you were hoping to see won’t be able to make it, or a friend has to turn down an invitation to a party you’re having. Try not to let this spoil your mood. These things happen. Keep yourself busy. TAURUS — You may be worried about your financial situation today, Taurus. You might feel a tug at your purse strings. If you’ve experienced a delay in receiving some funds you were expecting, this may add to your concern. You might want to tackle this directly by examining your situation. Check up on expected funds and make any necessary arrangements to alleviate this stress. GEMINI — An unexpected event might cause you to be temporarily separated from your partner today, Gemini. Confusion about the incident and your mate’s role in it might plague you. You might doubt his or her motives. If so, it may be best to talk and clear up any suspicions. Letting such thoughts sit for even a short time can create challenges for a relationship. Deal with the situation now. CANCER — You might have a sore throat and mild cold symptoms today, Cancer. It may affect your ability to work. Chances are that you’re an active person. Having to slow down to tend to your health may frustrate you. Consider going to the doctor’s office now rather than ignore your health. This could make all the difference in how long you stay under the weather and are kept from things you want to do. LEO — Spend some quality time with your partner today, Leo. Perhaps he or she is a little jealous of your friends or feeling left out. Perhaps you’ve received invitations lately that are just for you. It might be a good idea to turn one down in favor of being with your partner. Plan a romantic interlude. A little quality time can help get things back on track. VIRGO — You may want to take a day off from your obligations, Virgo, perhaps to take care of unfinished creative projects. Chances are this may not be possible. Concerns about work issues might keep your mind occupied and distract you from the task at hand. This and possible family disagreements may have you upset. Try to remain centeredNovember and focused16, despite Monday, 2015it all. It’s the only way to get anything

done. LIBRA — You may reminisce today, Libra. Perhaps you’re thinking about friends and family who live far away. You could feel a bit nostalgic, not to mention blue, thinking about times long past. Consider making some phone calls to counteract these feelings. If you can’t connect with a particular person, spend a little time looking through a photo album to bring him or her closer to you. SCORPIO — Money matters might be a bit tangled today, Scorpio. There may be an unexpected delay in receiving funds due you. Your bank statement may have you confused. Getting to the bottom of things may prove a bit frustrating but not necessarily impossible. If you find that you’re uncertain about your financial situation, consider talking with those involved to get a better understanding. SAGITTARIUS — You may need reassurance today, Sagittarius. Trouble with friends or a romantic partner may have you feeling unloved, insecure, and emotionally blocked. You may see the situation as more serious than others do. Perhaps a misunderstanding has caused the dilemma. Take the time to reach out to those you’re concerned about and get some reassurance. If you owe an apology, give it freely and move on. CAPRICORN — You may feel a little under the weather today, Capricorn. You may even develop sniffles or a sore throat. If so, consider going to the doctor. This can be an especially unwelcome development, as it keeps you from certain activities. If you act quickly, your ailment may not worsen. Take the time you need to feel healthy again before returning to your routine. AQUARIUS — You might feel lonely and insecure due to lack of contact with a close friend or romantic partner, Aquarius. You might wonder if the person has forgotten you or simply doesn’t care anymore. Take the time to try to connect with this person. You may discover that no neglect was intended and that the relationship is solid. It’s better for you to tackle this directly rather than speculate. PISCES — Juggling work and home may seem difficult today, Pisces. Work responsibilities may weigh on your mind to the point where they interfere with the harmony of your home life. This can cause some inner conflict. It might be wise to prioritize work tasks on paper and schedule duties and deadlines. Then you can spend time with your family without worrying that work will be forgotten.

HOROSCOPE

By Dave Green

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.

Oregon Tech gets the jump on Westmont to win NAIA soccer opener

DP makes big splash in season opening split against Santa Barbara By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

A tentative start finished Westmont College’s women’s soccer season on Thursday. Oregon Tech notched its eighthstraight shutout while defeating the ninth-ranked Warriors 2-0 in an Opening Round Game of the NAIA Women’s Soccer Championships at Thorrington Field. “I thought that the energy that we brought in the beginning of the game wasn’t what we were hoping for,” Westmont coach Jenny Jaggard said. “I felt like there was a lot of playing from fear, not really trusting that we could play the Westmont way. “Part of the playoff experience is learning to handle that pressure.” The Warriors finish the season with a 7-5 record. Oregon Tech (12-1), which fended off several Warrior scoring opportunities in the second half, will now face 16th-ranked Eastern Oregon (8-1-2) in a second-round match at noon Saturday at Thorrington Field. Eastern Oregon edged La Sierra, 2-1, in Thursday’s first contest. “We had expectations for ourselves that we were going to go deeper,” Jaggard said. “I think we very well could have, but there are no could-haves in the playoffs. You either make it happen or you don’t. “There is a little bit of luck and a lot of getting after it and making it happen. Today, it didn’t work for us.” Mehana Ortiz gave Oregon Tech the lead in the 26th minute when she launched a 45-yard shot over the head of Westmont goalkeeper Gabi Haw from the right touch line. Haw back-pedaled from the top of the 18 and made a leaping attempt to stop the shot, but it glanced off her fingertips and bounced into the net. The Warriors came out firing in the second half. Kendall Ollenburger hit the crossbar on a 25-yard shot in the 55th minute. Isabelle Berthoud tried to convert the rebound, but Oregon Tech goalkeeper Alyx

Westmont’s Grace Duckens, middle, makes a run to the goal during Thursday’s 2-0 loss against Oregon Tech.

Burkhartzymeyer stopped the pointblank shot for one of her five saves. She has yet to allow a goal this season. Grace Hotaling attempted a header on Karly Kingsley’s cross from the right touchline in the 80th minute, but her shot went just over the crossbar “I was proud of them in the second half,” Jaggard said. “They rose and pushed and we had some really good opportunities. Today just didn’t go our way. “Sometimes you win a game and you are not sure how. Other games you lose and scratch your head thinking there were dozens of ways we could have won that and why didn’t any of them work?” The Owls put the game out of reach on a breakaway with just five minutes remaining. Kiah Wetzell received a pass on the left touchline near the midfield line, dribbled upfield and then maneuvered past Haw

to kick the ball into an empty net. Westmont actually out-shot Oregon Tech 12-8, with both teams putting five attempts on frame. “Oregon Tech scouted us well and did the things they can do well and it ended up working for them,” Jaggard said. “It is just painful.” She described the season as a “wild ride with COVID.” “I am proud of my team for sticking it out and continuing to play and work hard,” she said. “I have seen a lot of development in them this year, especially considering how few games we have had leading up to playoffs. It’s an unusual soccer year. “We have a great foundation for building for the fall. Our seniors will be tremendously missed, but we have a good core. They know what we are all about and they work hard. Hopefully, we will get after it and do something a little more exciting this fall.” email: mpatton@newspress.com

Dos Pueblos High won all three relay races to defeat Santa Barbara 114-56 in its season-opening girls swim meet at the Elings Aquatics Center. “We had some standout performances by seniors Andrea Bish, Brittney Gamble, Caitlyn Robinson and Holly Maxwell,” coach Kendall Kuga said. “All seniors won both of their individual events.” Santa Barbara’s boys team, however, got a one-two finish in the final event — the 400 freestyle relay — to pull out a 80-77 victory over the Chargers. The Dons got wins in the 200 free from Evan Encell-O’Hara, in the 50 free from Ryan Drake, and in the 100 free from Sean O’Brien. DP got individual and relay wins from both Cooper Costello and Nikkolai Carrillo. SAN MARCOS 142, CABRILLO 24 The Royals got a pair of wins from freshmen Abbi Webber (200 and 500 freestyles) and Kenny Stretz (200 IM and 100 butterfly) for their Channel League victory. Other event winners were Sophia Pannosian (50 free), Maddison Sparre (100 free), Brooke Ingram (100 back), Zosia Amberger (100 breast) and Abbie Mintz (1-meter diving). BOYS SWIMMING SAN MARCOS 128, CABRILLO 30 The Royals swept the first three places in four events — the 200 individual medley, the 100 freestyle, the 100 backstroke and the 200 free relay while senior Noah Block scored a 200.0 to win the diving event. Coach Peera Sukavivatanachai cited “outstanding performances” by Jaden Lind in the 50 free, Asher Steelman and Gavin Tallman in the 200 free, and Jaran Depew in the 500 free. BOYS BASKETBALL BISHOP DIEGO 60, MOORPARK 55 Tyler Williams recorded a doubledouble of 22 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Cardinals to their victory in the Bishop Gym.
