Grand Jury issues report County detention centers seen as ‘safe,’ but issues remain By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Thomas Tighe, president and CEO of Goleta-based Direct Relief, noted the nonprofit’s work around the world includes helping people in its own backyard.
Providing relief in its backyard
The Santa Barbara County Grand Jury recently published a report on 20 detention facilities in Santa Barbara County, finding them to be “generally safe and serviceable.” But the findings also noted issues of overcrowding, equipment shortages to address drug contraband, “inhumane” holding facilities and staff shortages impacting public safety. The report, published April 27, included onsite inspections of the conditions of each facility, examination of how detainees are handled. Included were the Santa Barbara County Main Jail, new Northern Branch Jail, five sheriff’s substations, two probation facilities, three court holding facilities, the Lompoc City Jail, three police holding facilities and the Santa Barbara Sobering Center. When the Grand Jury visited the Main Jail in February, the jail was found to be 13 custody officers short of the 228 that are “considered adequate” for the overlapping schedules. This understaffing “results in higher safety risks to custodial deputies, costs associated with mandatory overtime and heightened custody staff stress levels,” the
report found. The Grand Jury also reported the building was aging and noted several infrastructure deficiencies, which represents a safety risk to both custody deputies and inmates. “The Sheriff will determine the priority of repairs and the implementation of reconfiguration and repurposing plans. This will be a challenge for the Sheriff, as construction cannot begin until the Northern Branch Jail opens, and Main Jail inmates can be moved,” the report read. The Grand Jury reported that surveillance camera positions need to be improved to provide more complete coverage, while also reporting the complete absence of body scanner systems to inspect and detect drug contraband that is smuggled into the jail. In addition, the Grand Jury found the jail’s transportation vehicle fleet to be well maintained, though noted it was old and needed to be replaced for safety and efficiency. The Northern Brand Jail in Santa Maria is being built to alleviate the overcrowding at the Main Jail, adding 376 extra beds. Construction of the facility was approved by the Board of Supervisors in June Please see JaiLs on A2
Direct Relief donates $1 million to support local health clinics By JORGE MERCADO NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
While most people haven’t experienced a previous pandemic like COVID-19 in their lifetimes, Goleta nonprofit Direct Relief has been accustomed to helping people during times of crisis since 1948. Direct Relief’s mission has always been to improve the lives of those who experience poverty or have been hit by a natural disaster. The nonprofit provides essential medical resources needed for people’s care. With the current coronavirus situation affecting everybody, Direct Relief provided support to its own backyard just last week, when it donated $1 million to support Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics and Sansum Clinic. Each of the two nonprofits is receiving $500,000 from Direct Relief. “We live here, and it has always been such an important thing for Direct Relief to do whatever we can where we live. We do a lot of things around the country and around the world but this is our home,” Thomas Tighe, president and CEO of Direct Relief, told the News-Press. “This community really has carried Direct Relief on its shoulders since we started so no matter where we work, what we do, everything started here in Santa Barbara, and it’s important for us to remember that and do whatever we can to help during this crisis.” The money for the clinics will go toward maintaining essential services, keeping staff safe and bolstering the clinics’ financial position. Usually, Direct Relief is more of an operational charity, donating personal protective equipment and things of that nature instead of giving grants. However, given that the clinics have experienced significant revenue losses caused by the pandemic, the board of directors at Direct Relief and Mr. Tighe knew that helping primary care with money was crucial. “Nonprofit clinics are playing a less visible role than the hospitals with intensive care, but we know that they are still playing an essential role everywhere in the country,” Mr. Tighe said. “If you don’t support the primary care and the things that can keep the people out of the hospital, what happens is you put pressure on those hospitals, and it’s really important not to do that, especially now as hospitals are trying

The Santa Barbara County Main Jail and other detention centers were deemed “safe and serviceable” by a Grand Jury report, but issues remain.
Visitor restrictions remain in place at Cottage Health hospitals By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
Direct Relief has supplied protective gear around the nation and world, as well as donated money to help the Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics and Sansum Clinic.
to preserve their capacity for those who really need it.” In fact, one of the reasons he knew the importance of helping the primary care workers is seeing how ebola hit West Africa. “They threw everything they had at ebola, but it came at the expense of women not being able to give birth in hospitals or people not being able to manage their chronic conditions, so the aftermath analysis done by well-trained people at Harvard found that more people died because of these unaddressed issues than ebola itself,” Mr. Tighe said. “The exclusive attention on one crisis at the expense of everything else could have really negative effects on the whole health system and the community.” Santa Barbara is a wealthy community compared to most, but that does not mean everyone in the county is free from poverty. Especially now when people are losing their jobs, or are simply struggling to make ends
meet, nonprofits such as Direct Relief realize the importance of keeping clinics open. Mr. Tighe said the clinics have provided a ton of support since the pandemic began, whether it be by helping with drive-through testing or anything else that they can do. “But because of the economic consequences of not being able to do as they normally do, it was causing a financial hardship that no one would have intended,” Mr. Tighe said. From there, Mr. Tighe said it was a “no brainer” to lend a hand to the local clinics. “We were seeing the same situation in other places and so we needed to just make sure we did everything we could in our own community,” Mr. Tighe said. “These are exceptionally good examples of nonprofit community based clinics that serve their communities well, and we are lucky to have them.” Direct Relief has traditionally supported Please see ReLief on A8
As Cottage Health continues to provide ongoing medical care during the COVID-19 pandemic, foot traffic in and around local hospitals has declined significantly due to the discontinuation of nearly all hospital visits. Gifts shops and coffee shops inside the hospitals have been closed since mid-March. The parking structures typically filled by cars of friends and loved ones have ample spaces available, while street parking surrounding Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital is more accessible than ever. The temporary restriction of visitors comes as a result from a health order by the Santa Barbara Public Health Department. For most patients, this will mean no visitors are permitted. There are exceptions,
such as end of life or childbirth scenarios, but those are authorized based on clinical area and urgent need, according to Cottage Health, which operates hospitals in Santa Barbara, Goleta and Solvang. The restrictions are aimed at protecting patients, healthcare staff and the community from the spread of the novel coronavirus. Acknowledging the hardships of the restrictions and expressing condolences, Cottage Health officials are encouraging virtual visits to those who want to keep in touch with their loved ones. The use of Zoom, FaceTime or other video conference formats are recommended, though only inside the patient rooms. No recording of other patients, visitors or staff is permitted. Visitors are asked to turn off their mobile devices as staff enter the patient’s room. Please see hOsPiTaLs on A8

Making a match CEC’s Food Rescue pairs givers with receivers during COVID-19 crisis By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

anta Barbara County Food Rescue, a program of the Community Environmental Council, includes multiple collaborations to support countywide efforts to feed those in need during the COVID-19 crisis. The program matches donors that have excess, nutritious food with organizations serving food insecure populations. “Since 2018, this CEC-led effort has coordinated the rescue of nearly 60,000 pounds of edible prepared food for distribution through more than a dozen agencies, including the Buellton Senior Center, Casa Serena, PATH and the Salvation Army Hospitality House,” said Julia Blanton, Santa Barbara County Food Rescue coordinator. “Beyond helping people, Food Rescue mitigates climate impacts by keeping high-quality excess prepared food out of landfills, where it decomposes and emits methane, a potent greenhouse gas.” In March, the CEC saw that widespread unemployment coupled with extended stay-athome orders would leave an
unprecedented number of Santa Barbara residents without the ability to feed themselves or their families. “We immediately recognized that the distribution channels, relationships and networking already in place for food recovery efforts could be quickly scaled up to get donated prepared food to those in need,” Ms. Blanton told the News-Press. The Santa Barbara Foundation, with its funding partners, stepped in to help this rapid expansion through its COVID-19 Joint Response Effort for Santa Barbara County. Scaling up these efforts includes the development of a COVID-19 Response Food Resources and Collaboration Information Hub. “Food Rescue is now compiling and managing a centralized database that identifies what is being done already, where gaps in service exist and which groups might be able to fill the gaps. This includes matching chefs and caterers who create prepared meals with agencies that serve seniors, unsheltered populations and others dealing with increased need due to COVID19,” Ms. Blanton said. All organizations supporting charitable food donation, delivery or distribution during
this time are encouraged to share what they are doing and where they need help through this countywide database: www. sbcfoodrescue.org/join-hub. The collected information is available for other organizations to view and can be filtered to focus on an agency’s area of interest. “By playing matchmaker and relaying information to nonprofits, businesses and government groups, we’ve been able to work together to solve problems for shortand long-term food needs and more efficiently use resources throughout the county,” said Ms. Blanton. Sigrid Wright, CEO of the Community Environmental Council, noted how protecting the resilience of the food system is part of the nonprofit’s broader strategic goals. “It’s become very clear the past couple months that the food system needs to be able to weather significant disruptions as COVID-19 will definitely not be our last crisis. CEC’s food recovery network helps ensure that there is a more continual supply of safe, accessible food for all residents of the Central Coast.” Innovative projects such as the Please see MATCH on A4

Community Food Collaborative are also part of this effort. “Every $10 donated to this new collaborative pays for restaurant workers to turn locally sourced ingredients into nutrient-dense meals, packaged and ready to be distributed to local nonprofits,� said Ms. Blanton. “The collaborative is currently serving unsheltered populations in southern Santa Barbara County but will expand as additional funding becomes available.�
Initial funders are the Julia Child Foundation for Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts, Social Venture Partners and the Natalie Orfalea Foundation. Some of the collaborative successes include: — CEC’s Food Rescue program connected Lunch Box Catering and wholesale distributor Sysco with local nonprofits St. Vincent’s and New Beginnings. More than 100 meals were distributed to veterans and unsheltered people in mid-March with hundreds more following over the course of the past month. — Since April 28, ACME
Hospitality (owners of Santa Barbara restaurants The Lark, Loquita, Tyger Tyger and others) have prepared more than 500 meals for the unsheltered populations through City Net and New Beginnings Counseling Center. “Those who wish to support CEC’s Food Rescue efforts can donate at cecsb.org/give. All donations made through June 30 will be doubled by CEC’s Leadership Match Fund,� said Ms. Blanton. Email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

I’m not comfortable walking on eggshells, and I’m afraid she will make it clear that we are living in her house. In my opinion, if people are paying rent, it should feel like their home, too.

You are an adult, and an intelligent one. By all means lay all your concerns on the table — the sooner the better. That way, Allan’s mother can either allay them, or you and your fiance can make plans to find another place to live. If his mother needs the income that would come from having renters, she may be less inclined to behave as you fear.

In theory, your 11 points are enough for a jump to two spades, inviting game, but your king of hearts, trapped in front of the opening bidder, may be worthless. Many experts would jump anyway.

Since 1981 Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve written a monthly column for the ACBLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magazine. Many have been â&#x20AC;&#x153;over-my-shoulderâ&#x20AC;? style. You listen in on my thoughts during a deal. Ninety of the best of these appear in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Play Bridge With Me,â&#x20AC;? my 23rd book, just published. The deals are intermediate level; the focus is on logical thinking. At todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four spades, I win the first heart in dummy and lead a diamond. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t risk losing an early trump finesse; I need a quick pitch for my heart loser. East wins the second diamond and returns a heart, and I win to discard dummyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last heart on my high diamond. When I finesse in trumps, East wins and exits with a trump.

moving through your travel zone over the past couple weeks, Libra. Unfortunately for you, traveling is a bit difficult right now. Because Venus is moving backward, you might be having second thoughts about a lot of things right now. With the new moon happening on Friday, try to distract yourself with learning a new skill. Scorpio â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mercury is moving through an intense zone for you, Scorpio. Now that Venus is retrograde, you may be searching for some serious answers around who you are and what you want. The new moon aligns with Saturnâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a connection that brings together your deepest emotions and regimented schedule. Trying out a counselor or therapist might be a good idea at this time. Sagittarius â&#x20AC;&#x201D; As the sun moves through your relationship zone, things are getting heated with your intimate connectionsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and not always in â&#x20AC;&#x153;funâ&#x20AC;? way, Sagittarius. Venus and Mercury connect to see you bringing up intense conversations around things you two donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t align on. Capricorn â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The sun moves through your lifestyle zone over the next couple weeks. And thanks to Venus retrograde, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to figure out whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working and not working in your daily routines. With the Friday new moon, it might be a great time to clean up your working space. A clean office is a productive office, Capricorn! Aquarius â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mercury moves through your leisure section. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to learn a new skill or talent! With Venus retrograde in play, your creativity is full to the brim. When it comes to romance, try to take things slowly. Things arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bound to stick right now, Aquarius! Pisces â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Your home zone is getting highlighted right now. Venus and Mercury are in the same sector here, which makes it the best time to host events or socialize (even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s through Zoom!). The new moon on Friday is aligning with Saturn in your spiritual zone, Pisces. Therapy or counseling might be a good idea here.

Aries â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The sun is highlighting your social zones, Aries. But thanks to all the retrograde action in the sky right now, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the time to make the big moves youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so keen on. Slow down and get your priorities straight. The new moon lights up your communication skills on Friday. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good time to share some thoughts. Taurus â&#x20AC;&#x201D; As the sun enters Gemini this week, leaving Taurus, your money is about to become your focus. And as Venus retrograde also lights up this zone, try to make sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not spending egregious amounts of money on things you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need. The new moon also emphasizes this zoneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a fresh start is upon you. Gemini â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The sun moves into your sign this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;kickstarting your energy. However, Venus is still retrograde in your sign. This could make things a bit more difficult over the coming weeks. Finally, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great week to develop new habits as the new moon travels through your house of goals. Cancer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The sun is moving into your spiritual zone on Wednesday, Cancer. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to do some deep dives into your subconscious. With Venus retrograde pulling up some darker stuff, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll feel super emotional this week. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s especially when the full moon hits on Friday! Leo â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Thanks to Saturn moving into your relationship zone, and Venus in your social zone, this could be an interesting week, Leo. It might be time to get real about who you like to hang with and who you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. The new moon moves into your social zone tooâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re asked to have a fresh perspective on your friends in life. Virgo â&#x20AC;&#x201D; With the sun moving into Gemini this week, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to make more connections in your life. Business is going to be a major focus this week as Venus retrogrades and aligns with Mercury and Neptune. The new moon asks you to go for something youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve wanted for a long time. Get after it, Virgo. Libra â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The sun has been

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 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;codeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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.

‘I’m still in disbelief’: DP senior wins Gates Scholarship By TESS KENNY “Congratulations.” Kathy Ramirez-Gijon stared in disbelief. That can’t be right. She scooped up her computer and ran to her sister. One glance at the email and screams rang around the kitchen. Her parents echoed the excitement, jumping up and down while Kathy searched for a catch. But the news was the same with each additional read. On April 20th, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation sent Kathy a message she never thought she’d receive. Out of 36,500 applicants, she was one of 300 Gates Scholarship recipients, a highly selective honor for minority high school seniors. Still, over a week and countless congratulations later, Kathy’s convinced she’s due for a wake up call any day now. Fortunately, that call won’t come – and nor should it. “I’m still in disbelief,” the Dos Pueblos High School senior said. “I’m still waiting for them to call and say it’s a mistake. Another part of me is trying to make sense of it and tell myself that they really believe in me and want me to have a good education.” The Gates Scholarship ensures that Kathy will receive funding to the accredited U.S. college of her choice, an award that made committing to the University of Southern California possible. There, she plans to major in mechanical engineering, a natural next step for the accomplished student, who was accepted into the Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy as a freshman. Also interested in environmental science, Kathy hopes to integrate the two areas so she can one day help the human race but in a way that doesn’t hurt the planet. “There are so many issues with the environment that you don’t consider,” she said. “I’ve been thinking about minoring in environmental science or at least
taking classes on it so that my work as a mechanical engineer doesn’t do as much harm as it would normally.” This level of self-awareness is far from an isolated incident. Well beyond her years in temperament as well as intellect, Kathy’s concern for those around her is palpable. Since hearing from the Gates Foundation, she’s spent her time crafting a laundry list of tentative thank you’s. And these aren’t just responses to the steady stream of messages the last week-and-half has produced. Her gratitude dates back to the beginning. “I’m extremely grateful for everyone on my journey that have supported me since I was a kid,” Kathy said. “They clearly demonstrated belief in me. I’ve been going around thinking of every person that I could send a message to who’s helped me along the way. I know I can’t get everyone, but I’m trying my best.” Kathy’s cognizance includes her family above all else, even her own aspirations. Before the Gates Foundation flooded her inbox, Kathy set her sights on the University of Notre Dame. With a full ride to the Indiana-based university, she felt fortunate for the opportunity. Still, something didn’t sit right. She didn’t feel “it.” That gut instinct Notre Dame was where she belonged. Instead, another college came to mind. “I remember my first time I went to visit USC, I fell in love with the school,” Kathy said. “Being there felt so right. There’s this thing that everyone talks about, knowing you could fit in there. I asked my sister who was already in college how will I know that I am feeling the right thing? She said, ‘You’ll just know.’ Honestly, I felt that. It felt like being at Disneyland.” Yet Kathy couldn’t let herself commit to the private education knowing the financial burden it would place on her parents. With one sister already enrolled in

college and another finishing out her junior year of high school, Kathy looked at her acceptance to USC as a nod to her hard work but not a path worth pursuing. That is, until she became a Gates Scholar. “I wanted to go to USC, and I could really see myself going there,” Kathy said. “But it was such a big difference of how much my parents would be paying, or I guess wouldn’t be paying at Notre Dame. When I got the scholarship, my first thought was USC. That was awesome.” Even still, that moment meant more to Kathy than finding a place to belong or a jumpstart to her career. College, let alone a toptier university, is something she’s dreamed of for as long as she can remember. “Academics has always been the biggest part of my life because my parents wanted to give us an education they couldn’t (have),” she said. “Both of my parents were born and raised in Mexico. My dad only got to finish high school and my mom got to finish sixth grade. She had to work hard to finish because my grandfather just wanted her to start working and help the family out.” Once in the U.S. with a family of their own, Kathy’s parents made education a priority. “We’re aware of everything they
did for us was to have a better life and more opportunities than they did,” Kathy said. “I’m extremely grateful for what my parents have done to allow us to do that.” Owing her parents the life they never had, Kathy challenged herself with every chance she got. Whether that meant interning at UCSB to see a real mechanical engineering lab, taking extra classes at SBCC to supplement her schedule, or pursuing golf – despite being admittedly terrible – she couldn’t stray away from an opportunity. Even opportunities she had little belief could pan out, like the Gates Scholarship. “I didn’t believe in myself,” Kathy said. “I didn’t think I could get it. I thought a lot about it being a waste of time. Then I started considering it. Who knows, right? A little more time here for the reward later, and I guess it worked out.” And that’s not where the humility ends. At each mention of one her accomplishments, Kathy effused a string of resources that helped her realize her full potential. Those include the likes of Mission Scholars, a new Santa Barbara program dedicated to helping high-achieving, lowincome students maximize their college admissions potential. Admitted to Mission Scholars’
inaugural class of clients in 2019, Kathy’s involvement in the program gave her the necessary information to even apply for college, something she watched her older sister struggle without. “When my older sister went away for college, I was confused by the whole process,” she said. “I didn’t think I’d be able to get through it. Applying to schools is so much more work that I thought it would be. (Mission Scholars) made it so much easier for me than other students. I’m so grateful for their help and support.” After a whirlwind of college applications, Mission Scholars knew Kathy still had more to give. That’s where the Gates Scholarship came into view. Tired of data-entering and overwhelmed by scholarship’s three-phase vetting process, Kathy told her advisers no. But they didn’t take no for an answer. “She didn’t want to deal with the extra work,” said Cassie Lancaster, Mission Scholars’ Executive Director. “But I told her the worst that could happen is that they say no.” By the time the scholarship’s September 15 deadline rolled around, Kathy resolved to give it her best shot. But that decision didn’t come as a surprise to Ms. Lancaster. The choice was only a matter of time. “I had every expectation that she would get past the first round based on her numbers,” Ms. Lancaster said. “She worked very hard to have a chance of admission. She has incredibly strong grades, strong SAT scores, just a strong profile.” After an initial round of weeding out applicants based

Those who are permitted to enter the hospital lobby or emergency department will be screened for fever, cough, or other possible signs of illness. Expectant mothers are required to enter the hospital through the main entrance. There, they (along with their partner if present) wil be asked if they are experiencing any signs of symptoms of COVID-19 and will have their temperature taken. Those who show positive signs are being provided with a protective face mask and escorted to the hospital’s Birth Center, where they will be cared for with isolation precautions. If partners have any signs or symptoms, they will not be able to accompany the mother to the floor, but once on the unit the mother-to-be can call for another
support person to be present. “This is done for your protection, the protection of your newborn, and the protection of our healthcare providers,” read a message on Cottage Health’s website. According to the health officer order, only one support person can enter the hospital at a time. Hospital officials said that person “should be able to stay with you for your entire hospital stay.” A sleeping area and meals will be provided for the support person, though if they were to leave they are not able to re-enter the hospital. If a child is born without complications, mothers can anticipate having their baby continuously. Mothers are able to visit babies who need to be sent to the hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, though they must wear a mask at all times in the unit. The support person is not able to visit the baby in the NICU while the
mother is in the hospital. The hospital does offer a service called NicView, allowing parents to see their baby through a livestream on camera, equipped with a specific username and password that can be shared by the parent. On its website, the hospital addressed expecting mothers who may be feeling anxious or depressed during the pandemic. “First of all, know that you are not alone. Many of the parents we are talking to are feeling anxious during this challenging time. However, if you are feeling anxiety or depression to a point that it is overwhelming you and interfering with your functioning, please speak with your doctor,” officials said. “There are ways to get help from home without an inperson visit. Almost all counselors have the ability to see patients virtually using telemedicine. Postpartum Support International offers online support groups and a provider directory for certified
perinatal counselors.” The evidence-based organization is recommended by the hospital’s perinatal social worker as a possible resource. To learn more, visit postpartum.net. Officials also recommend that expectant mothers start a journal to share with their child in the future, while also remembering the experience of having a baby during this time. “We understand this is not the birth experience that you planned, but we are here to assist you every step of the way.” the website read. “We are committed to providing the care and support you need to make this a happy and memorable experience.” Those with more questions can reach out to Libby Smith, Director of Women’s Services, at fsmith@ sbch.org or 805-682-7111.

‘Our role is to just keep up the support’ RELIEF
Continued from Page A1 health care systems around the world, which meant a crucial role for the nonprofit during the pandemic. Since January, Mr. Tighe said Direct Relief has fulfilled 10,000 deliveries, already up 50% of what it accomplished last year. Last week, Direct Relief partnered with FedEx to provide in-kind shipments from around the globe to the U.S., for distribution of 3 million masks, 50,000 face shields and more to countries and health centers around the world. “We are just trying to deal with the increased demand for what we do from a philanthropic perspective, and it’s been fortunate that we have had the capability to do so,” Mr. Tighe said. “Our role is to just keep up the support, keep health workers safe, keep nonprofits well

supported as possible and so they then are able to help their
communities, and it is a privilege for us to be in this position to
support them. I am sure they would do the same if the roles were reversed.” Having helped through countless disasters, Direct Relief has picked up a few skills along the way, and in this climate that has no end date in sight, Mr. Tighe said the organization is hopeful that it can keep going until the day the world is feeling a bit safer from COVID-19. “What we’ve learned is you don’t know exactly how the situation’s going to unfold, but you can revert to the core principles of making sure that the institutions that are necessary to serve people from a health perspective stay in tact and don’t falter because if they do, the ripple effects are severe,” Mr. Tighe said. “It’s why it was an easy decision for us to support the clinics, because of the high degree of trust and competence and the critical role that they play.” email: jmercado@newspress.com

on academic merit, subsequent phases of the scholarship application included a series of short essays and a one-on-one interview. While Kathy had the numbers to compete, the later rounds are what Ms. Lancaster thinks set her apart. “If you look at the acceptance rates, they’re less than 1%,” Ms. Lancaster said. “A lot of students have the numbers, so it really was a shot in the dark. The difference is that Gates does have various opportunities to get to know the students. The essays (and interview) were perfect for (Kathy). “(She’s) a really unique individual. She’s incredibly smart. She has this wicked sense of humor and is very honest in a refreshing kind of way. She’s funny and curious and straightforward. Not a lot of scholarships bring out those layers.” Having peeled back those layers herself, Ms. Lancaster can’t think of anyone more deserving of this award. “I think when she got it, I screamed so loud that my twoyear-old son started screaming because he thought I was scared,” Ms. Lancaster said. “I called her and celebrated over the phone… She’s just very special, and I’m so proud of her obviously. “Kathy’s story deserves to be told because she takes every opportunity even if there is no indication that it will work out in her favor. She’s incredibly smart, but she’s also sophisticated and prepared to be at the college level. That’s something that needs to be conveyed.”
