Rolling to recovery Santa Barbara Airbus holds ribbon cutting, resumes service to LAX
By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
There were more passengers leaving town on a Santa Barbara Airbus Thursday than there were passengers aboard an Airbus during the entire first week of the business’s opening in 1983. This fact gave peace of mind to CEO Eric Onnen — who cofounded the Airbus that year and has remained with the company ever since — as he and his staff cut the ribbon Thursday morning and resumed services to the Los Angeles International Airport. “We have been down for 409 days on our LAX schedule service,” Mr. Onnen said to the small crowd of city officials and leaders of the South Coast Chamber of Commerce gathered outside the airbus headquarters
in Goleta to celebrate. “So we are very anxious to get back.” Thursday marked day one of Santa Barbara Airbus resuming 10 trips a day to and from LAX. Mr. Onnen told the News-Press he still remembers when there were only five buses running in total in 1983, so after 409 days of being shut down, being able to reopen with 16 buses is still an accomplishment. “It will take years to recover financially, so it depends how quickly the industry rebounds,” the co-founder said. “But if we were at 60% of 2019 capacity by the end of this year, we would consider that to be a success. That doesn’t begin to approach financial recovery — that just gets us to stability.” He added that Santa Barbara Airbus, like many other
businesses with a significant capital investment, will have to play catch up to replenish that capital for future growth and modernization. However, he’s optimistic, and believes once international travel returns to normal numbers, his business, too, will start to see a return to normal. “The travel industry has worked diligently all through (the pandemic) to create the safest experience they can for their customers, so it’s not perfect, but it certainly is very mindful of those concerns that anybody traveling should have,” Mr. Onnen said. Current capacity on the buses is 30 to 32 passengers, compared to its usual 50 to 56 person capacity. Neither riders nor staff need to have received a COVID-19 vaccine
to ride. Over the pandemic, Santa Barbara Airbus generated a #RollingResponsibly campaign to train staff on everything from masking to distancing to proper hand washing. Each bus also has a treated air system, and staff uses sanitizing foggers to disinfect all seats after each trip. “Our staff is all trained on that prior to rehire, and then it’s what keeps everybody safe on the bus,” Samantha Onnen, the daughter of Mr. Onnen and the general manager of the company, told the News-Press. “Every 90 seconds, the air changes over in the bus and goes through a treated filter, so quite like the airlines, it’s treated air you’re breathing on the bus.” Bob Ruppel pulled one of the
The 2021 Old Spanish Days Fiesta’s Saint Barbara is Patricia Oreña, a six-plus generational Santa Barbaran perfect for this year’s theme of “Honoring Our Generations.” She was selected by her fellow members of Reina del Mar Parlor No. 126, Native Daughters of the Golden West, for her service to the group and the community. Ms. Oreña, the parlor’s first vice president, serves as a liaison to Mission Santa Barbara and Old Spanish Days for the parlor. She gives tours of the mission as a docent. She is the wedding and baptism coordinator at Saint Barbara Parish. “This is just wonderful to be able to represent the parish. It’s very meaningful to me, very meaningful,” she told the News-Press. She was emotional seeing the support of her friends, family and clergy (who gave a special blessing). “To me, it’s just a wonderful, wonderful honor. My family members are just very proud, and my parlor members are also very, very welcoming,” she said. Thea Palencia and Diana Replogle-Purinton, both past Saint Barbaras, spoke confidently about Ms. Oreña’s ability to perform the duties of her role, which includes: director on the Old Spanish Days board, membership on the Fiesta Pequeña and Noches de Ron-

Elected officials urge passage of Victims of Crime Funds Act By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
COURTESY OF HOWARD PASAMANICK
“Each year, our advocates help over 4,000 victims and provide compensation assistance via Victims of Crime Act funding,” said Santa Barbara County District Attorney Joyce Dudley, who supports the passage of the VOCA Fix to Sustain the Crime Victims Fund Act of 2021.
“The Crime Victims Fund gives local governments the ability to support and compensate the innocent victims of crime. Despite serving as a critical lifeline, this program has been severely underfunded for years,” said Rep. Salud Carbajal, who supports the passage of the VOCA Fix to Sustain the Crime Victims Fund Act of 2021.
“The Crime Victims Fund gives local governments the ability to support and compensate the innocent victims of crime. Despite serving as a critical lifeline, this program has been severely underfunded for years,” Rep. Carbajal said in a statement. “This commonsense fix has garnered bipartisan support, allows us to continue helping those harmed by
crime and doesn’t cost taxpayers a dime. I implore my Senate colleagues to take up this bill and provide crime victims with the help they need and deserve.” The bill increases the percentage — from 60% to 75% — of state compensation payments to crime victims in the prior fiscal year used to calculate formula grants for state

awards; and provide flexibility for state compensation programs to waive the requirement to promote victim cooperation with law enforcement if good cause is established by the program. Ms. Dudley echoed the fact that the funding is not taxpayer money; rather, the funding is fines and penalties levied against federal offenders. “The cornerstone of public safety is providing high quality, empathetic service to those

Health officer explains reported vaccine fatalities NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
Following conversations and rumors regarding vaccine fatalities, the News-Press asked Santa Barbara County Public Health officer Dr. Henning Ansorg what he thought about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines. He monitors local fatalities following vaccination but hasn’t found any deaths that were caused by vaccination. A main point of the interview: correlation does not imply causation. Vaccines came under fire Wednesday night on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” Mr. Carlson took data from the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System saying that 3,362 people died after getting vaccinated and speculated that the number is largely underreported. But he neglected to include VAERS’ main guideline for evaluating its data: “When evaluating data from VAERS, it is important to note that for any reported event, no cause-and-effect relationship has been established.” Dr. Ansorg calls VAERS an “early warning system.” It looks for patterns in reports and in the case of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, stops distribution. “To determine if something that happened really caused the death or contributed to the death, it is a really delicate matter and takes a lot of deliberation and looking into all the circumstances to find the most
reasonable explanation of the vaccine,” he said. Just like when determining if a death was caused by COVID-19, a coroner has to sign off. “So Mr. Carlson took the completely unevaluated data and just claimed a causality,” Dr. Ansorg said. Dr. Ansorg was concerned upon seeing Mr. Carlson’s use of the data. “It’s a big concern because we know that Republican-leaning members of our community are less likely to be vaccinated. And I think that’s because of misinformation, and that is perpetuated by certain individuals,” he said. “All I can say is that it’s very unfortunate because our body doesn’t care one way or another what our political views are. Public Health should not be politicized,” he said. “So if we stop believing really good scientific data, we are really on a slippery slope to the dark ages, where there was no science and where people could just claim something because it was philosophy.” Public Health is reaching out to hesitant communities by addressing churches and minority groups about the vaccine. Dr. Ansorg understands some people may be wary of advice from public officials, so he recommends consulting doctors and vaccinated friends about possible side effects. Dr. Ansorg acknowledges the presence of potentially serious side effects but states that they are very rare.

Dr. Henning Ansorg talked to the News-Press about vaccine fatalities amid misinformation.
He followed by saying the United States previously reported an average of 3,000 COVID-19 deaths per day but is now down to 750 deaths daily, which he attributes to the country’s vaccination efforts. “California is doing really, really well with new cases, even in large cities. They even have less cases per capita than Santa Barbara, and that’s
because they had all these mass vaccination efforts,” he said. Public Health doesn’t get paid based on the number of vaccines it administers, so there’s no financial incentive to vaccinate more of the community. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

SANTA BARBARA — A pair of Santa Barbara Police officers applied their department issued tourniquet to help treat a woman believed to have suffered a potential life-threatening injury, authorities said. Around 11 p.m. Wednesday, a resident in the 200 block of West Sola Street called 911 to report an injury as a result of an accident inside her home. The accident caused the victim to suffer “a significant laceration, resulting in blood spurting from her injury,”
Lt. Shawn Hill, police spokesman, said in a news release. “Officer Sarkis arrived, and based on her training, suspected the injury to be an arterial bleed, a potential life-threatening injury,” Lt. Hill said. “Officer Sarkis, assisted by her teammate Officer Guzman, applied her department issued tourniquet to the victim which stopped the bleeding. Santa Barbara City Fire Department personnel also arrived to assist. The victim was transported by medics to the hospital for further treatment.” Santa Barbara Police officers are trained to use a variety of life-saving measures, such as the application of tourniquets,

affected by violent crime,” the district attorney said. “Without ongoing funding support, victims would languish emotionally and financially with untold costs to our society as a whole.” The VOCA Fix to Sustain the Crime Victims Fund Act of 2021 passed the House on March 17 and now awaits Senate deliberation.
CALIFORNIA
U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, and local district attorneys are urging the Senate to pass a bill adding a new source of revenue for the Crime Victims Fund. The Crime Victims Fund was established to provide funding for victim compensation for things like medical bills, lost wages, funeral costs and victim support programs. Currently, the Crime Victims Fund is funded through deposits from federal criminal fines from deferred prosecution and nonprosecution agreements, and that revenue is deposited into the general fund of the Treasury, meaning the balance can vary depending on the cases the Justice Department prosecutes. The fund’s balance has diminished in recent years due to greater use of deferred prosecutions and non-prosecution agreements, so the bill local officials are advocating for — the VOCA Fix to Sustain the Crime Victims Fund Act of 2021 — requires the Department of Justice to redirect criminal settlements from non-prosecution and deferred prosecutions into the Crime Victims Fund, which would make an additional $4 to $7 billion available for crime victims over the next few years.
victim compensation programs. It also directs states to waive the 20% matching requirement for recipients of state victim assistance formula grants during and for one year after a pandemicrelated national emergency. Joyce Dudley, Santa Barbara County’s district attorney, told the News-Press that her office relies upon $1.9 million from VOCA money in competitive grant dollars to serve the most vulnerable populations countywide. “Funding has allowed our Victim Witness Assistance Program to provide traumainformed services to human trafficking, sexual assault, domestic violence, elder and dependent adult abuse and vulnerable child abuse victims who otherwise would be left to navigate the criminal process alone and without support,” Ms. Dudley said. “Each year, our advocates help over 4,000 victims and provide compensation assistance via VOCA funding.” If passed, the bill would: allow states to request a no-cost extension from the Attorney General to ensure states can thoughtfully and effectively distribute victim service grants without being penalized; instruct the Office for Victims of Crime not to deduct restitution payments recovered by state victim compensation funds when calculating victim compensation

Local chairs react to Trump’s Facebook ban By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT
Facebook’s Oversight Board upheld the social network’s ban against former President Donald Trump Wednesday, and local party chairs in Santa Barbara County are falling on opposite sides in the aftermath of the decision. The decision by Facebook’s advisory board, which is composed of journalists, activists and lawyers, will bar the former U.S. president from returning to the platform for at least another six months. During Wednesday’s deliberations, the board told Facebook executives that an indefinite suspension was “not appropriate” because it is not a penalty firmly outlined in the platform’s policies. The advisors directed executives to make a final decision on Mr. Trump’s profile status in the next six months. After Wednesday’s decision was announced, Republicans and Democrats fell on opposite sides of the matter. Bobbi McGinnis, the county’s Republican chairwoman, called Facebook’s action “censorship,” likening it to the actions of communist regimes in China and Russia. “It sounds to me like Facebook is using the policy of China to monitor Americans,” Ms. McGinnis told the News-Press. “That doesn’t seem right in America.” She added, “I personally think people need to stop using those platforms until (social networks) meet American standards.” Ms. McGinnis herself has been banned from Facebook for three or four days after posting an ad for a social event with the word “patriot” in it, she said. While her ban was just for a few days, Ms. McGinnis called banning politicians “unamerican.” “(Having my account banned) just showed me the power of the social media companies,” Ms. McGinnis said. “They are powerful, and if they are not following American standards, then what standards are they following? Are they following Russia and China and enforcing

As the state moves closer to a recall election against Gov. Gavin Newsom, the state’s Democratic Party is campaigning for California voters to vote “no” to the recall on their ballot.
those standards in America? Freedom of speech is what is separating us from these communist countries.” While conservative activists are calling Facebook’s action censorship, some Democrats disagree. Darcel Elliot, the county’s Democratic chairwoman, said she thought the advisory board made the right decision to extend Mr. Trump’s ban on Facebook. Ms. Elliot said the only exception to free speech is inciting violence, which she said was evident in Mr. Trump’s media post leading up to the Jan. 6 invasion of the Capitol. “I think inciting violence on social media should be enough
to get anyone banned from social media … Inciting violence is the one excpetion to freedom of speech,” Ms. Elliot told the NewsPress. “It’s always been the one way where you can get around freedom of speech. So it’s not really censorship because we’ve always tried to curtail people who incite violence. The Jan. 6 insurrection was just that.” The decision from Facebook comes as a chasm is forming between House Republicans who remain supportive of Mr. Trump and those who have voiced disagreement with his actions. On Wednesday, top Republicans devised plans to remove Liz Cheney, the No.
3 House Republican and the Republican Conference Chair, after she vocally rejected Mr. Trump’s claims of election fraud. Republicans have discussed elevating Elise Stefanik of New York, a loyalist of Mr. Trump, to take Ms. Cheney’s place. Both Ms. McGinnis and Ms. Elliot said they are more focused on local politics than issues in the House, but both were aware of Ms. Cheney’s situation. Ms. McGinnis, a supporter of Mr. Trump, said she believes the majority of House Republicans support Mr. Trump, but added that Ms. Cheney was entitled to a different opinion. Locally, tensions are rising between local Democrats and Republicans as the state moves closer to a recall election against Gov. Gavin Newsom. Though a date for the election has not been set, multiple Republicans, including businessman John Cox and former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner, have announced their bid for the governor’s seat should the recall receive enough support. As the election looms, Ms. Elliot said the state’s Democratic Party is campaigning “intensely” for California voters to vote “no” to the recall on their ballot. In recent weeks, Gov. Newsom has expressed confidence that he can defeat any candidate who would rise up to take the position. “We’re really intensely focused on this and have huge operations throughout the state to fight back against the recall,” Ms. Elliot said. “We’re not taking it for granted.” Though it is still uncertain whether the recall effort will receive enough support to oust Gov. Newsom from office, Ms. McGinnis said she sees this as a chance for a Republican to take their seat at the head of the state. Currently, Ms. McGinnis said she sees potential in Kevin Faulconer, the former mayor of San Diego, and Ms. Jenner. “I think (Ms. Jenner) is somebody who could do a really good job as governor,” Ms. McGinnis said. “I was pleasantly surprised how much she knew about the need for positive change in California.” email: mhirneisen@newspress.com
Humane Society condemns bear ‘campaign prop’ furry companion as “an opportunity to get attention” and doesn’t think it’ll have a negative effect on his campaign. “It’s certainly people who feel strongly about animal rights, but we have a lot of problems in the state that need to be addressed,” he said. “There’s a whole lot of other issues that we should focus on instead of a bear that is really well treated.” Part of his platform is that he doesn’t bend to special interests organizations. “The public increasingly recognizes that bears and other wild animals belong in forests and have an innate need to express natural behaviors,” Ms. Asijian said. “Caged in transport trailers and used for entertainment, Tag and other animals living in such cruel conditions, can likely do little besides lie down. It is common for bears in these situations to develop neurotic behaviors.” It is legal in California for USDA-licensed exhibitors to transport and show large animals at fairs, circuses and the like. Tag is one of hundreds of animal actors owned by Steve Martin’s Working Wildlife. He was born in captivity and sent to Working Wildlife as a cub. Tag has visited six cities in three days on Mr. Cox’s “Meet the Beast” tour. Tag, an obviously well-trained animal, sits sequestered by a short wire fence behind the podium and snacks on treats from his trainer. Ms. Ashjian calls it a public safety risk, referencing a 2008 incident where a bear (who was featured in “Semi-Pro”) attacked and killed one of three trainers. In response to public safety concerns, Mr. Cox said, “The bear is very docile. It’s not very dangerous at all. Trust me, I kissed it.” Working Wildlife did not respond to the News-Press’ request for comment.
By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
The California State Director at the Humane Society of the United States released a statement Thursday criticizing recall election candidate John Cox for his use of a 1,000-pound bear on the campaign trail. Mr. Cox, a republican running for governor in the recall election, has been calling himself the “beast” to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s “beauty.” Further impressing the schtick, he includes the Hollywoodtrained bear named Tag in everything from photoshoots to slogans. California State Director Sabrina Ashjian, a Ventura resident, sent the following statement to members of the media: “By parading around with a captive bear, candidate John Cox demonstrates that he is profoundly out of touch with Californians and their love for all things wild. Citizens are rightfully outraged and disgusted by a dangerous captive brown bear, weighing hundreds of pounds, being carted around in a bus as a mere campaign prop. Mr. Cox is putting the public and Tag in severe danger. He must remove Tag from the campaign trail and to ask his owner to retire Tag from show business. Tag needs to go to a legitimate sanctuary where he can spend his remaining days in a natural, safe and healthy environment that allows him to engage in normal bear behaviors such as foraging, digging, climbing and swimming.” She told the News-Press she has been “flooded with complaints” about the bear. Mr. Cox told the News-Press Thursday that the bear is “very well treated.” Tag starred in commercials and even made it to the Super Bowl before getting into politics. Mr. Cox also clarified that he loves animals and has dogs himself. Mr. Cox believes that organizations are using his

Hawaii blocks UCSB’s road to the NCAA volleyball final By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER
Patrick Gasman, Hawaii’s 6-foot9 volleyball All-American, wasn’t keeping his eye on the ball as most athletes are taught. “I was just watching Casey’s hands and following the ball where it goes,” he said on Thursday, referring to UCSB senior All-American Casey McGarry. “He’s a really good setter, and I was really trying to read him … and was just chasing the ball wherever it went.” He and the top-ranked Rainbow Warriors will now be chasing a championship in Saturday’s NCAA final after having blocked the No. 3 Gauchos off the court during Thursday’s semifinals in Columbus, Ohio. They swept UCSB 25-21, 25-18, 25-23. “It’s really good to get the win against a very good team,” Hawaii coach Charlie Wade said. “When we had good service turns and received better, we were able to make a run at them. “And I think, in particular, our block was good early and often, and really kind of influenced the match.” Hawaii (16-1) out-blocked UCSB (16-5) by a 13.5-to-4.0 margin. Gasman stuffed the Gauchos six times, helping to hold them to a kill percentage of just .170. He also had 10 kills with no errors in 16 swings (.625 percentage). It made the difference on a night when UCSB held Rainbow Warrior star Rado Parapunov to a percentage of just .143 (12 kills and seven errors in 35 attempts). Ryan Wilcox led the Gauchos with 13 digs, helping to limit Hawaii’s hitting percentage to.263 — well below its season average of .365. “The guys always follow the
game plan to a T, and we had a good game plan to stop them with our serve-block defense,” Gaucho coach Rick McLaughlin said. “We could’ve served a little bit better, I think — that would’ve made the match closer — but we definitely touched a lot of balls and dug a lot of balls. “I think if we sided out better we could’ve won.” Parapunov said Hawaii actually played its best team match of the year. “When Patrick plays like that, I don’t think anyone can stop us,” he said. “We knew that if we don’t play good, Santa Barbara can beat us easily. We give them the most respect. “We put our foot on the gas all the way through to the end.” McGarry had received Off the Block’s Lloy Ball Award as the NCAA Setter of the Year just a day earlier. He led the nation with an average of 11.07 assists per set. But Hawaii completely shut down his two outside hitters on Thursday. They had just 11 kills between them with 10 errors in 40 swings. “We didn’t play our best volleyball, but I think Hawaii had a lot to do with that,” McLaughlin said. “Hawaii played well — they served well. “We had some moments where we got back in the match, but we couldn’t be consistent enough to keep that going. So hats off to Hawaii. They played well.” UCSB had its chances in the first set, but Hawaii ran away with the second. The Rainbow Warriors led by as much as 21-12 before settling for a 25-18 win. The third set was tight the entire way. The Gauchos won a thrilling, 50-second rally to get within 2321. Wilcox ran down two balls way beyond the end line, and Ryan
Pecsok saved another during the spectacular exchange. Keenan Sanders finished it by scoring off a slide play on McGarry’s back-set. “It’s the same thing we’ve seen in our gym every day,” McLaughlin said of the rally. “They go after it, they compete. If we just could’ve got going a little bit more, I think we’d be out there.” Sanders finished with an attack percentage of .375, notching eight kills. Randy DeWeese hit .207 with a team-high 13 putaways. Roy McFarland’s seventh kill got UCSB within 23-22, and another by Donovan Todorov gave the Gauchos one last chance at 24-23. But Parapunov put the next ball away to clinch the match for Hawaii. Sanders, DeWeese, McGarry and McFarland were the four seniors from last year’s club who put their professional careers on hold to return this year for a COVID-19 doover. “These guys have been awesome to coach,” McLaughlin said. “It’s been one of the most fun times I’ve ever had — even through COVID — in coaching these guys. “They’re one of a kind. They are the heart and soul of Gaucho volleyball, and they’ve been awesome.” McFarland said he would be leaving UCSB with his “head held high.” “We had to make a lot of sacrifices, obviously — everybody knows that,” he said. “It was really hard for us fifth-years to make those sacrifices, and we came back pretty much just for volleyball. “We’re not exactly super-proud of the way we played tonight, but we are really proud for a lot of things and really proud of each other and our coaches.” email: mpatton@newspress.com

SPORTS ROUNDUP
Greenwald is golden in winning Channel League singles crown By MARK PATTTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER
Freshman Jed Greenwald may be green in Channel League circles, but he was a wall on the tennis court during Thursday’s conference singles final. San Marcos High’s newest star held fast while winning a first-set tiebreaker against top-seeded Will Steinberg of Dos Pueblos before continuing on to a 7-6, 6-4 victory at the Santa Barbara High tennis courts. Greenwald, who led the Royals to a perfect 10-0 league record, won the first-set tiebreaker by a 7-4 score. He’s lost just one set all season. “Will and Jed played a competitive match,” San Marcos coach Jarrod Bradley said. “Jed countered Will’s inside-out, forehand winners with a baseline consistency and pinpoint control. “The difference was Jed was able to move Will around just enough to induce errors.” Greenwald, the top seed, had advanced to the final with a 6-3, 6-1 semifinal win over DP’s Ryan Belkin, the No. 4 seed. The second-seeded Steinberg beat San Marcos’ Matthew Chung 6-2, 6-4 in the semifinals. San Marcos sophomore Natasha Gill, the No. 2 seed, knocked off Santa Barbara’s undefeated and topseeded Sophia Ostovany 6-1, 7-6 (7-3) to claim the girls singles championship. As a freshman, Gill had advanced to last year’s final before losing to Cabrillo’s Kayla King. Santa Barbara’s top-seeded team of Charlotte Ryan and Koko Kelly continued their domination of Channel League girls doubles. They swept their Dons’ teammates, second-seeded Natalie Brewer and Katie Clyne, 6-1, 6-0. CHANNEL LEAGUE TEAM PLAYOFF San Marcos defeated both Dos Pueblos and Santa Ynez by 11-7 scores in a three-way playoff for second place in the Channel League for girls tennis. Santa Ynez defeated DP 9-9 (139138 in total games) for third place. The Pirates’ Morea Naretto beat the Chargers’ No. 1 player 13-11 to tie the match in sets. SANTA BARBARA 11, CARPINTERIA 7 The Warriors got 3-0 singles sweeps from brothers Max and Austin Stone but the Dons won 11 of the other 12 sets to claim their nonleague victory. GIRLS SOCCER SAN MARCOS 4, DOS PUEBLOS 0 The Royals celebrated Senior Night at Warkentin Stadium by completing a 10-0 Channel League season. Caroline Mikkelson scored in the first half while San Marcos added second-half goals by Sophia Orozco, Becca Rodriguez and Kayla Julio. SANTA BARBARA 4, LOMPOC 0 Athena Graham scored twice and Hayden Randolph and Sienna Boyce added the other two goals as the Dons improved to 6-1-2 on the Channel League season. BOYS SOCCER SAN MARCOS 3, DOS PUEBLOS 0 The undefeated Royals scored all three goals in the first half to ruin the Chargers’ Senior Night at Scott O’Leary Stadium. San Marcos improved to 11-0-1 overall and 9-0-1 in the Channel League while DP dropped to 5-4-2 and 4-4-2. PREP SWIMMING SANTA BARBARA AT SAN MARCOS Holland Woodhouse won the 200 individual medley (2:21.34) and the 100 backstroke (1:01.68) and was also part of a winning relay team as San Marcos won the girls’ meet, 128-54. Madi Sparre was also a doublewinner (200 and 500 freestyle). Other event winners for the Royals were Malia Yim (1-meter board), Makenna Stretz (100 butterfly), and Dori Larbig (100 breaststroke). For the Dons, Nalani Yim won the 50 free with a CIF automatic qualifying time and was on two winning relay teams. Allison Bartholomew won the 100 free and also swam in two winning relays. San Marcos also won the boys meet, 127-42. The Royals swept the 200 IM with Asher Steelman, Gavin Tallman, and Owen Rybnicek. Steelman and Jara Depew also went 1-2 in the 100 fly. Sean O’Brien led Santa Barbara’s boys by winning both the 50 and 100 free in CIF consideration times. SANTA YNEZ AT DOS PUEBLOS The Chargers celebrated Senior Day by winning the girls’ meet 12251 to remain undefeated at 4-0 while their boys’ team also triumphed 10479 to improve to 3-1. The DP girls won all three relays and seven individual events. The boys raced to a pair of relay wins and six individual events. PREP BASEBALL HUENEME 7, CARPINTERIA 6 The Warriors fell short despite getting three hits apiece from Miles Souza and Luke Lounsbury. Souza drove in three runs while Lounsbury scored three.

buses around the parking lot during the ribbon cutting, and after 409 days of not being able to drive the bus, the longtime bus driver said he’s happy to be back behind the wheel. “It’s great to be back,” he told the News-Press. “I really love my job. I’ve been doing it for probably 24 years, and they’re great people to work for. We do a lot of fun stuff and serve a lot of people going to the airport. “It’s just a good job. I’m looking forward to getting back in the full
swing.” Kristen Miller, president and CEO of the South Coast Chamber of Commerce, said a few words to Santa Barbara Airbus staff before the ribbon was cut. “We do this tradition of cutting a ribbon because it symbolizes something before and after or something outside and inside,” she said. “Even though we’re not cutting a ribbon on a brand new business in Goleta, we’re cutting a ribbon for your reopening and rebirth.” The CEO said that the chamber sees a bright future ahead for economic recovery, and Santa Barbara Airbus is a large part of that effort to get the county back to economic prosperity. “This is a momentous day to welcome back one of our most important businesses in our tourism economy and in our local
economy with the Santa Barbara Airbus,” Ms. Miller said. “We feel so badly about all that we have lost during the pandemic — not just to the health crisis, but to the ensuing economic devastation in our community that has come about — but it’s businesses like yours who stayed together, stayed the course and are ready to come back and really pull us into recovery that we’re all so ready for.” James Kyriaco, Goleta Mayor Pro Tempore, also attended the ribbon cutting at Santa Barbara Airbus right next to the Santa Barbara Municipal Airport. He referred to Santa Barbara Airbus as a “fixture of the Old Town community” that’s been “through thick and thin.” “I know this part of Old Town. I love this part of Old Town. It’s an important and vital part of Old

ian Reyes, received his second shot of the Moderna vaccine at the pop-up clinic Thursday. Mr. Reyes received his first shot at a Santa Maria clinic about a month ago, and was set to receive his second shot at the same location in North County on Wednesday. Once he heard about the pop-up clinic, he decided to stay closer to home. “I saw on the Public Health website that there was a pop up vaccination site here, so I just drove five minutes rather than an hour to Santa Maria for a vaccine,” Mr. Reyes told the News-Press. In the back room of the bakery, Public Health staff used restaurant tables and chairs to set up the pop-up clinic. When Mr. Reyes showed up to the clinic, he said it felt a little “odd” to get the vaccine in a restaurant setting, but felt reassured when talking with medical staff on site. “A s soon as I walked in, it looked To see streaming video like a restaurant GO TO rather than a vac- newspress.com cine site, so I was a little skeptical at first,” Mr. Reyes said. “I had to ask them why or how they can distribute vaccines here, and they told me they have RN’s and doctors onsite, if there’s anything that happens. It made me feel a little more secure that there (was) some medical staff available.” In an effort to promote the vaccine to reduce barriers to getting a shot, the Public Health Department scheduled 11 pop-up vaccine clinics across the county this week. With vaccine rates in the county trending downward, the department is hopeful the rise of walk-in clinics at locations where people frequent, such as restaurants and markets, will help reach those who remain unvaccinated. “The Mobile Vaccine Program allows County Public Health to meet community members where they live, work, play, and worship,” the department said in a statement sent to the News-Press. “This is a fundamental public health strategy in the delivery of any health services. By taking away the barrier of access, getting vaccinated becomes an easier choice to make for our community. This vaccination event, based in the heart of the Funk Zone, allowed service industry workers to have

convenient access to the COVID-19 vaccine. Each time someone is vaccinated, we, collectively, move closer to the end of this pandemic.” The decision to host a vaccine clinic at The Lark came after Kacey House, the general manager of the restaurant, approached the Public Health Department about hosting a clinic. Ms. House said she and many other local managers in the hospitality industry were struggling to get their staff vaccinated due to limited appointment availability. “We decided that hosting our own clinic would be the best case scenario to offer (the vaccine) to the hospitality community specifically,” Ms. House told the News-Press. “Because of the vaccine availability and the amount of doses they were able to commit to, we were able to open it

Town, and this business, Santa Barbara Airbus, is a critical part of making our local economy go,” Mr. Kyriaco told Airbus staff. “I’m so glad you were able to survive. I don’t know quite how you did it, but I’m very impressed and glad you did, and it’s just so important we set an example for all the other businesses out there that it can be done, that Old Town Goleta and Goleta proper is a good place to do business. We look forward to cutting this ribbon and hopefully having a lot more ribbon cuttings in the future.” To learn more about the LAX shuttle or to book a trip, visit sbairbus.com. email: gmccormick@newspress. com
up to a limited amount of walk-in guests as well.” One of these walk-in guests, Santa Barbara resident Martha Palomino, received her second shot at the pop-up clinic Thursday. She said hosting a clinic at a restaurant was not only of benefit for locals, but for businesses as well. After a tough year for small businesses, Ms. Palomino said hosting clinics at places like restaurants could bring some revenue back to struggling sectors. “If you’re out and about to have some lunch, some dinner, (the location) is perfect,” Ms. Palomino said. “After you have your shot, get some lunch, dinner and it works out. It’s good for the restaurants, good for the businesses.” The Public Health Department will return to The Lark for a clinic in June to offer the second shot of the Modera vaccine for those who got their first dose Thursday. As of Thursday, 33.8% of the county’s population is fully vaccinated, which equates to about 42.2% of the population of people ages 16 and older who are fully vaccinated. While there is still a ways to go before the county reaches herd immunity, case rates in the county have been on the decline for a few weeks now. On Thursday, 15 new cases of COVID-19 were reported by the Public Health Department, bringing the county’s active case total to 122. Lompoc reported four new infections on Thursday, followed by three new cases in Santa Barbara and the Santa Ynez Valley. Goleta reported two new cases and Santa Maria, the North County unincorporated areas and the unincorporated Goleta Valley and Gaviota recorded one new case. All other areas reported no new cases on Thursday. In the county, nine individuals are currently hospitalized with COVID-19, and two are recovering in the ICU. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

This year, the event will be broadcast live instead of presented in-person. “It’s been a long year.

ASAP’s new leader
Alana Yañez brings her lifelong love for animals to shelter for cats
and metal kennels are stressful. I feel a lot of what ASAP does is to reduce the stress for cats.” And ASAP has continued its Tiny Lions program, which prepares feral kittens for life as indoor cats in a new home. “It’s all positive association,” Ms. Yañez said, referring to the program’s approach of putting food on the end of a chopstick or a finger. “It’s a matter of showing them humans are good and ‘You’ll get some food every time you let them touch you.’” The shelter currently has six Tiny Lions, including Dawn, Midnight and Brunch, who lent their unwavering voices to the chorus of enthusiastic meows during the News-Press visit. Ms. Yañez added that she likes partnering with other organizations to meet the community’s needs and help people to be able to keep their pets. For example, she said, ASAP refers people to local nonprofit C.A.R.E.4Paws for help with pet food or to the Santa Barbara Humane Society for spay and neuter services. (Like other shelters, ASAP makes certain all of its cats are spayed or neutered in an effort to control animal overpopulation.) Ms. Yañez added she would like to eventually hire a community organizer and expand ASAP’s outreach to keep pets in homes. For now, ASAP is working on its anticipated reopening but hasn’t determined a date yet, she said. “Once we do, we’ll have a huge announcement. I see ourselves making it festive with some drinks, coffee and doughnuts. It’ll be something nice to say, ‘We’re back.’ ”

A
lana Yañez’s father, who grew up on a farm in the San Joaquin Valley, liked to take his sheep to school when he was a little boy. Ms. Yañez inherited Jesse Yañez’s love for animals, so much so that she wanted to become a vet. “But the universe had other plans,” Ms. Yañez, 42, said. The Bs and Cs she earned at UC Santa Cruz weren’t seen as good enough to attend California’s only veterinary school at the time at UC Davis. So after earning her bachelor’s in biology in 2001, Ms. Yañez lived in Los Angeles and tried her hand at other things like paralegal work and politics. She was a field deputy from 2006 to 2011 for thenAssemblyman Kevin de León, D-Los Angeles. But Ms. Yañez never lost her interest in animals and worked from 2012 to last March in Los Angeles for the Humane Society of the United States as senior manager for its Life for Pets program. She also worked from 2012 to 2016 as a commissioner for Los Angeles Animal Services and still sits on a state board that oversees veterinary licenses. All of that paved the way for her newest job as executive director of the Goleta-based Animal Shelter Assistance Program. ASAP is well-known as the nonprofit shelter focusing on cats. The Overpass Road facility is kitty corner to Santa Barbara County Animal Services, where Angela Yates, the previous ASAP executive director, now works as the Animal Services director. Ms. Yañez, who’s been in the role succeeding Ms. Yates for a little over a month, talked enthusiastically to the News-Press about ASAP and her love for Tio, her foster tuxedo cat, who she expects she likely will adopt. At one point during this week’s visit, she stood surrounded by kittens, who were meowing loudly like a spirited chorus. She smiled at their refrain. “The cats, especially our little kittens, are always ready to play,” she said with a grin. She picked up a kitten and put it on her shoulder. But guess what? Ms. Yañez is a dog person. “I’ve always been a dog person. I always love cats too. I always consider myself slightly more of a

dog person,” Ms. Yañez said. But she smiled as she talked about Buddy. That was Ms. Yañez’s name for the cat she shared with neighbors in her block in Los Angeles. Each household gave him a different name, but he slept each night at Ms. Yañez’s home and bonded with her. She came to consider herself Buddy’s primary owner. “Buddy would purr on my belly when I was pregnant,” Ms. Yañez said. The single mother speculated Buddy’s pre-birth connection with her son, now 3, may have figured into her child’s relentless love for cats. “He’s obsessed with them,” Ms. Yañez said. “He could care less about my dogs. He’s hilarious.” Today, Ms. Yañez, her son and her father and their two dogs and
foster cat live at a Santa Barbara home just minutes from ASAP. Her road to the Goleta shelter included her work in politics, which she said helped her to work in pet organizations. “I feel like working in politics prepares you for everything. You’re required to work with every facet of the public. I had to know all the city’s departments. I had to know all the businesses in our district. I had to know the community inside and out.” Ms. Yañez said she became interested in ASAP after hearing about the organization and its work in saving cats and finding them homes in Santa Barbara County. “I love the mission. I thought the (ASAP) story was inspiring,” she said. Ms. Yañez noted ASAP has
had to make adaptations during COVID-19 pandemic. Most of the cats were placed in foster homes, and that has led to a strong adoption rate, she said. Only 1% have been returned to the shelter. Ms. Yañez explained that people are very willing to provide foster homes because there’s no permanent commitment. But once the cat is in their homes, they fall in love with the pet and end up adopting the animal. Ms. Yañez cited another advantage in placing cats in foster homes. “The reality is that when animals are in a shelter, they get stressed. They get sick,” she said. She noted ASAP’s cats in foster homes are less prone to suffer from upper respiratory infection than cats inside shelters.
In addition to the foster home approach, ASAP also has found permanent homes for cats through a virtual shelter at asapcats.org. People visit the website to see photos and videos of cats, then drive to the physical ASAP shelter to pick up their new pet. Ms. Yañez said ASAP now has a total of 107 cats, including 86 in foster homes and 21 at the shelter. The executive director noted that during the pandemic, ASAP has continued its working cat program, which places feral felines in barns, ranches and farms. They earn their keep catching rodents. Ms. Yañez said 75 feral cats are in the program and that ASAP recently completed an outdoor enclosure at the shelter, where those cats can stay until they’re placed. “They’re outdoor cats,
WHEN TO PICK UP STRAYS Don’t pick up stray cats and bring them to a shelter if they seem healthy, have a nice coat and appear well-fed, Alana Yañez, ASAP executive director, said, citing the latest advice from the National Animal Care & Control Association. “It’s most likely an indoor/outdoor cat and most likely belongs to somebody,” she told the News-Press. She noted that when those cats aren’t microchipped and don’t have collars, owners end up losing their cats. “But if you see a cat and it’s clearly sick, injured or lame, that’s when you want to bring it to a shelter,” Ms. Yañez said.
FYI ASAP is closed to the public during COVID-19, but you can go to asapcats. org to make appointments to meet cats.
Before coming to ASAP in Goleta, Alana Yañez was senior manager for the Pets for Life program at the Humane Society of the United States. Ms. Yañez said she has always loved cats. And she credits her work in politics for preparing her for pet organizations such as ASAP.
Santa Maria High School’s Future Business Leaders of America students win awards Santa Maria High School Future Business Leaders of America members recently competed in the business and financial, entrepreneurship and software systems development career areas at FBLA’s virtual California State Leadership Conference. Maria Reyes-Palestino placed seventh for Banking and Financial Systems, and Eliot Baez placed seventh for Network Infrastructure at the conference. For their proficiency in financial literacy, 21 SMHS students earned Financial Literacy Badges. They are Jose Barajas, Jorge Bautista, Anthony Garcia Ubias, Luis
Gonzalez Guerrero, Jose Gonzalez Rodriguez, Eddie Guzman Barragan, Tobit Hernandez Nestor, Miriam Jimenez Cuevas, Leslie Lopez Ramos, Graciela Lopez, Jorge Mendez Santos, Juan Navarrete-Valle, Selena Perez Preciado, Christina Regalado, Fabiola Rios Peralta, Jose Rodriguez Renteria, Alondra Rodriguez Velasco, Kassy Truhitte, Emma Elioser Vega, Jocelyn Vigil Guzman and Daisy Zelaya. The chapter received two awards: Government Awareness Project, which is designed to inform elected officials about the student organization, and Outstanding Chapter for being among the top 10% of the chapters that
completed the FBLA mission goals of service, education and progress. Testing occurred over a two-week period online through Zoom. All students had to wear professional business attire and keep their video and audio on during the entire test. Live section meetings and the virtual awards presentation took place on April 30. The Saints also networked with other California FBLA members, attended leadership workshops and had a chance to qualify for the National Future Business Leaders of America Virtual Leadership Conference from June 29 through July 3, according

to Cindy Quaid, FBLA advisor and business teacher. Ms. Reyes-Palestino had the challenge of taking her online test while her family celebrated her mother’s birthday in an adjacent room. “If life gives you distractions during a competition, it happens for a reason — to help surpass me towards success,’’ she said. “Participating members have grown through these virtual experiences. They strive for leadership experiences and opportunities to continue to enhance their skill set,’’ said Ms. Quaid.
SANTA MARIA — Cardboard letters and yarn are the components of Santa Maria Public Library’s latest craft: a yarn-wrapped initial for junior high and high school students.

National Nurses Week By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
In commemoration of National Nurses Week, the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department honored nurses at the May 4 Board of Supervisors meeting. This year, the American Nurses Association and World Health Organization extended the Year of the Nurse to 2021 to highlight the many contributions nurses have made toward combating the COVID-19 pandemic. Nurses in all sectors of the healthcare system have bravely cared for the sick, even when doing so would put them at risk.
Throughout the pandemic, Public Health Department nurses have served on the frontlines, both in clinics and in the community providing critical public health interventions aimed at preventing the spread of the deadly COVID-19 virus. Testing, contact tracing, isolation, quarantine and vaccination coupled with an increased focus on health equity are among the nurses’ efforts, and they have moved the community through the various blueprint tiers and closer to a state of normalcy, according to a news release. “Nurses have been at the center of public health response to this

pandemic. Their tireless efforts to protect every member of our community and care for those most impacted by COVID-19 have been key to getting us where we are now, nearing the end of this pandemic,” said Dr. Van Do-Reynoso, county public health director. “We thank all nurses for their unwavering dedication. You are our heroes.” National Nurses Week begins each year on May 6 and ends on May 12, Florence Nightingale’s birthday. Florence Nightingale was the founder of modern nursing and would have celebrated her 200th birthday anniversary last year. email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

Diversions horoscope • puzzles
ARIES — You may feel wanderlust and crave something new and different in your life. You just can’t help but be a bit bored by the dullness of the routine. If adventure is what you want, why not plan an exotic trip? Even if you don’t have the money now, you can still start doing some research. Just knowing that you’re going to go someday will help raise your spirits, Aries. TAURUS — Keep your eyes and ears open today, Taurus. You may receive some important information on specific ways to increase your income. This is just one of the many wonderful things bound to happen to you. You’re looking great and people are responding to your warm, pleasant manner. Bask in the glow of all the goodwill surrounding you. It won’t last forever! GEMINI — You may be privy to some important knowledge, Gemini. Perhaps an article gives you the impetus you need to invest in a promising stock. Perhaps you learn a famous person is coming to town to give a lecture. If your heart starts to race the minute you hear the news, this should be all the motivation you need to take the next steps. Good things are bound to come your way if you do. CANCER — A visit to a local museum or art gallery may move you to tears, Cancer. Suddenly, you’re aware of all the beauty around you and inspired to create some original works of your own. You do have a strong creative bent, so why not see how far your talent will take you? If possible, spend the evening surrounded by loved ones. LEO — There are no half measures today, Leo. You feel every emotion to the nth degree. This could make for an intense day. Make an effort to calm down. Rather than inject your opinion into every conversation, make it a point to step away from the group. The talk is animated enough without you stirring things up further. Spend the evening with loved ones. They will be more tolerant of your mood. VIRGO — You’re likely feeling a desire to do something different and a little crazy. Today you may fulfill that desire by attending a group event, perhaps a concert. Or you could indulge a childhood fantasy and go to the circus. Whatever you do, take along the special someone in your life. The fun you’re bound to have will be so much sweeter when shared with a Monday, November 16, 2015 loved one.
LIBRA — You have many talents, Libra. Today’s astral energy indicates that your abilities will be rewarded. Congratulations! You’ve certainly worked long and hard to achieve your goals. Why not make plans to celebrate? Call some friends or your partner for an impromptu get-together. You can meet at the local bistro and bask in the happy energy of success. The first round of drinks is on you! SCORPIO — You’re looking gorgeous today, Scorpio, and have likely noticed the admiring glances you’ve received. Your passion is running high, and you may be able to spend this evening with a special someone. Fulfill your romantic fantasies. Light candles, use your best china, and dress with sensuality in mind. Your partner will appreciate the effort. You’re bound to have a wonderful evening. SAGITTARIUS — This could be your lucky day, Sagittarius, especially in matters of the heart. You may feel particularly close to your special someone, as well as others in your immediate circle of friends. This is due in part to the planetary configuration. It shows your intuition and optimism running high. Use this to your advantage, especially if you have to sell something. Keep your expectations realistic. CAPRICORN — Try not to do everything all at once today, Capricorn. Your social life is heating up and you may be in a frenzy preparing for all the gatherings you’ve been invited to. All this on top of your regular workload could send you into a tailspin. Pace yourself. Get your work done first before thinking about your social life. Remember, if you were unemployed, you wouldn’t be able to go out at all! AQUARIUS — It looks like your ship is about to come in, Aquarius. The planetary configuration indicates that you can expect additional financial resources, perhaps a raise. You deserve it! You’ve been working long and hard these past several months. You’ve earned the respect of authority figures and the admiration of peers. Be careful not to fritter away the extra money. Put some aside for a rainy day. PISCES — Take extra care with your appearance today, and clean the house a bit this morning. You may have some visitors, Pisces. Invite them in and make them comfortable. It’s likely that they can be of great benefit in furthering your career. Perhaps one of them is well connected in a company you’ve long wanted to work for. Or maybe you will get an interesting stock tip. Stay alert!

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.
