Eight killed in Indianapolis mass shooting Officers report former FedEx-employed teen opened fire at FedEx facility

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Thursday night, a 19-year-old man opened fire outside and inside a FedEx Ground Facility in Indianapolis, killing eight people, wounding several others and then dying from a gunshot wound that appeared to be self-inflicted. The suspected shooter was identified as Brandon Scott Hole of Indiana, but Indianapolis police said they have not yet discovered his motive.

However, officers confirmed he was a former employee at the facility (last employed in 2020) and known to federal and local authorities prior to the attack. Mr. Hole’s name appeared in two previous police reports including one in 2020 in which a gun was seized, and a family member of his reached out to authorities warning about his potential for violence, according to CNN reports. The department’s police chief said Mr. Hole started randomly shooting at people in the parking lot, killing four, and

went inside to continue shooting, killing four more, all in a matter of a couple of minutes, according to The Associated Press. President Joe Biden ordered flags be lowered to half-staff on Friday and said in a statement following the shooting, “Last night and into the morning in Indianapolis, yet again families had to wait to hear word about the fate of their loved ones. What a cruel wait and fate that has become too normal and happens every day somewhere in our nation. Gun

violence is an epidemic in America. But we should not accept it. We must act.” The police department noted that a “significant” number of employees at the facility are members of the Sikh community, and it was later confirmed that members of that community were among the killed and wounded. The Sikh Coalition reportedly called for authorities to conduct a full investigation into possible bias. Names of the victims had not been released as of Friday afternoon.

Recall could incur costs for county

Foo Fighters spearhead campaign to benefit Jensen’s Guitar

By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

For Jensen Guitar & Music Co., keeping tempo during the pandemic proved to be a challenge. Between shifting tier restrictions and multiple lockdowns, owner Chris Jensen told the News-Press that the Santa Barbara shop is running about “half-speed from what a normal year would be.” Without walk-in customers and weekly music lessons, it’s been difficult for the business to stay afloat. But hope may just be on the horizon for the 48-year-old guitar store. Thanks to a partnership between renowned rock band the Foo Fighters and Vans shoes, proceeds from a limited edition pair of Foo Fighters shoes and a special edition T-shirt will benefit Jensen’s Guitar shop. The Vans campaign, known as “Foot the Bill,” was started during the COVID-19 crisis to provide relief funds to Please see JENSEN’S on A6

Joyce Dudley, Santa Barbara County’s district attorney, told the News-Press that the shooting “brought immediate flashbacks” to the Goleta post office shootings that occurred in 2006, when Jennifer San Marco shot and killed eight people in Goleta, including herself. Ms. Dudley said this incident and the Indianapolis FedEx shooting are “eerily similar — painfully similar.” “When I thought about the FedEx workers, I thought, ‘These are exactly the Please see SHOOTING on B4

Chris Jensen, owner of Jensen Guitars & Music Co., stands at his workbench surrounded by guitars. The guitar shop, one of the last standing in Santa Barbara, has faced unprecedented difficulty during the pandemic. But now, through a partnership between the Foo Fighters and Vans, the shop will receive some much-needed funding to get back on its feet.

Santa Barbara County could face more than $2 million in election costs if a recall effort against Gov. Gavin Newsom receives enough petitioned support, a leading official from the county’s Clerk-Recorder office said Friday. During a Board of Supervisors budget meeting Friday, Joseph Holland, the county clerk, recorder, assessor and registrar of voters, said his department is still processing the recall petitions against the governor. He added the effort “looks like it will pass” based on what he’s seen in recent media reports. He said if there is enough support for a recall vote, members of the election community are considering either Nov. 23 or Dec. 7. But if the recall effort prevails, the vote would not come without cost to the county. “We anticipate that to conduct this governor recall for Santa Barbara County, it may cost up to $2.5 million,” Mr. Holland told the board. Should a recall vote take place, Mr. Holland said the election would look different than other elections in the past due to recent legislation passed by the state. For this year only, the legislature ruled that all elections will be completed by mail-in voting. Therefore, if a recall vote is mandated, all registered California voters would receive their ballot in the mail instead of trekking to in-person polling places. This form of voting could become more prevalent in future elections, especially as local election officials are aiming to enact the Voter’s Choice Act. The VCA is a statePlease see recall on A3

Local sheriff, police chief discuss Tasers, de-escalation, lethal force By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Conversations across the nation regarding policing and the use of nonlethal and lethal force resurfaced this past week as a result of a fatal police shooting in Brooklyn Center, Minn., on Sunday. Daunte Wright, 20, was shot to death by now former Brooklyn Center Officer Kim Potter, 48, who was arrested Wednesday and charged with second-degree manslaughter. She now faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, and made her first court appearance Thursday, according to national media reports. Then-Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon released body camera footage of the incident, and said it led him to believe the shooting was accidental and that Ms. Potter’s actions before the shooting were consistent with department standards. In the video footage, Ms. Potter is heard warning Mr. Wright that she will use her Taser on him and is heard shouting,

“Taser! Taser! Taser!” After allegedly accidentally pulling out her 9mm glock instead of her Taser and fatally shooting the 20-year-old black man, she said, “Holy (expletive)! I just shot him.” Police officials concluded that Ms. Potter — who had worked for the department for 26 years — mistakenly confused her gun for her Taser. Ms. Potter and Mr. Gannon both resigned from the department on Tuesday. Mr. Wright had been pulled over for an expired tag. Officers then learned he had an outstanding warrant for a gross misdemeanor weapons charge, according to the news release from the Washington County Attorney’s Office. The video showed him being handcuffed, then twisting away to get back into the driver’s seat. Once he was shot, he drove away for a short distance and crashed into another vehicle. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The incident marks another black man murdered at the hands of a police

incident was “sad for everybody concerned.” “Certainly, we don’t need this, and when I say ‘we,’ I’m referring to society,” he said. “You have another African American man killed at the hands of law enforcement and you have a law enforcement officer who — by all accounts and I haven’t heard anybody discount it — made a horrendous mistake, and it resulted in somebody’s life. “There’s no winners in this at all, and it just makes the conversation about race and policing that more challenging.” The tragic fatality sparked conversations regarding Taser standards and which side of the belt an officer should holster their firearm versus their Taser. The Brooklyn Center Police Department reportedly follows protocol of holstering the Taser on the weak-hand side and the firearm on the strong-hand side, which matches local standards in Santa Barbara County. Sheriff Brown said mixing up weapons is “exceptionally rare,” but officers in

Santa Barbara County are still required to receive Taser training every year. “This yearly training is designed to train deputies to perform weak-hand or cross draws of the Taser to prevent accidentally drawing a firearm thought to be a Taser, target area considerations, handcuff during Taser application and transition to other force options, as well as de-escalation techniques, and restraint techniques that do not impair respiration following the application of the Taser,” the sheriff said. Santa Barbara Police Chief Melekian said that while he hasn’t been in the field himself for a number of years, the general strategy to de-escalation is to first try conversation and connection with the person, and if arrest is the end goal, handcuffing them as quickly as possible “so that there isn’t really time for the person to decide that maybe they don’t want to go along with the program.” “One of the realities of policing is that you do not really know the state Please see FORCE on A2

officer, reopening the fresh wound of the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis in 2020. Protests have taken place five nights in a row outside the Brooklyn Center Police Department, and according to CNN reporting, officials anticipate protests over the shooting are only just beginning ahead of the verdict for former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin who was charged in Mr. Floyd’s death. Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown told the News-Press that when he heard the news and saw what happened, his “heart sank.” “It appears to have been a tragic accident, with striking similarities to what happened in 2009 during the apprehension of Oscar Grant by a Bay Area Rapid Transit Police officer,” the sheriff said. “My sympathies go out to the family of Daunte Wright as well as to Officer Potter, whose lives changed in an instant as a result of this tragedy.” Santa Barbara Police Interim Chief Brian Melekian told the News-Press that the

Officials anticipating move to orange tier Tuesday By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

Santa Barbara County could move into the orange tier of COVID-19 restrictions as early as Tuesday so long as the region’s case rate remains low, county Public Health officials said during a press briefing Friday. Dr. Van Do-Reynoso, the director of Public Health, said the county’s current case rate is 5.2 per 100,000, and to move into the orange tier, the region must stay below a rate of 6 per 100,000. During the Friday briefing, Dr. Do-Reynoso also confirmed that Santa Barbara County has not had any residents experience a severe adverse reaction as a result of the Johnson

& Johnson vaccine. She said an influx in the Moderna and Pfizer vaccine is helping to compensate for the pause in the J&J shot, adding that officials “do not anticipate any disruption in vaccine distribution.” About 49% of people 16 and older in the county have received at least one vaccine shot, while 23% of the total county population is fully vaccinated, Dr. Do-Reynoso reported. “Getting a vaccine is the best way to protect yourself, your family, your friends and your community against COVID-19,” she said. On Friday, Public Health officials reported 34 new cases of COVID-19 in the county and no new deaths, bringing the total number of active cases to 145. Santa Barbara reported the highest number

of new cases Friday with 10 infections. Santa Maria reported eight new cases, Goleta and the unincorporated Goleta Valley and Gaviota both reported four new cases and Lompoc reported three new cases. Orcutt reported two new cases on Friday, and Isla Vista reported one new case. All other areas reported no new cases. Lompoc Valley Medical Center reported that 15 COVID-19 patients are currently hospitalized across the county. There are no COVID-positive patients in LVMC. The report added that no patients have been hospitalized with a flu diagnosis during the 2020-21 flu season. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

TRAFFIC, CRIME AND FIRE BLOTTER Parklet destroyed in Santa Barbara SANTA BARBARA — The parklet in front of Twenty-Four Blackbirds Chocolate, at 428 E. Haley St., was destroyed and two other vehicles were damaged Friday in downtown Santa Barbara, police said. Police responded around 9:45 a.m. to the intersection of Olive and East Haley streets and found a grey and white RV that struck a pair of parked vehicles and the seating area in front of the restaurant. The driver, whose identity was withheld, remained on scene and cooperated with authorities, police said. No arrests were made and no injuries were reported.

of mind of who you’re dealing with, so you’re continually trying to balance treating them in a respectful, appropriate way while at the same time continually evaluating whether or not they are a threat to you. That, by definition, is stressful and it’s a challenge for officers,” Chief Melekian said. “At least what I know about this case in Minnesota, you had an experienced officer and you had somebody who knew that they were wanted and did not want to be arrested … That’s a very different kind of stress than just an interaction where you’re trying to de-escalate something.” Sheriff Brown pointed out that de-escalation is included in several Sheriff’s Office policies, and focuses on both the sanctity of life and on constant firearm and other training for the officers. “During volatile situations, deputies face high levels of stress and adrenaline,” the sheriff said. “Although our preference is to always de-escalate and use time and distance to our advantage, sometimes these situations are

The funeral comes after the bombshell CBS interview in which Prince Harry and Meghan Markle answered questions from fellow Montecito resident Oprah Winfrey. But Buckingham Palace has insisted the funeral procession order is not related to current tensions within the family. The palace said the arrangement represents the Queen’s wishes. Ms. Markle is staying in Montecito because of doctor’s advice against flying. She is pregnant with the couple’s second child, a baby girl.

so rapidly unfolding that splitsecond decisions must be made to employ non-lethal or lethal force options in order to prevent loss of life, serious bodily injury and to gain control of the situation.” Chief Melekian said his conversations remain focused on Santa Barbara police, and in that regard, “Our track record in this area in terms of how seldom we use force of any kind I think speaks for itself.” He added, “I would remind the public that police officers in this country every day have thousands and thousands and thousands of contacts with the public and under a whole range of circumstances, and almost never is force used. And of the times force is used, almost never is lethal force used. “That doesn’t make this any less of a tragedy, and it doesn’t make the discussion about race and policing any less complex or complicated, but some context in this would be helpful. And in this case, there’s no indication that the officer was trying to be aggressive or was exceeding her authority. She just made a horrible mistake.”

Crews complete demolition for Plaza Granada NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

After officially breaking ground in late February, bulldozers have been on site, and demolition is complete for the new Plaza Granada project that’s anticipated to be complete in July. The project aims to create a new pathway from the Granada garage to State Street, featuring a new performing arts-themed mural, safer pedestrian walkways and improved parking, lighting, trash facilities and water drainage. “After a decade of planning and anticipation, machinery and workers are now busy transforming the space,” Caren Rager, the Chrisman executive director and president for The Granada, told the News-Press. “Construction work has also begun on the wall for the mural. We expect the artists to begin their work on the mural in May, which will be very exciting.” Tracy Lee Stum and Sayak Mitra were the muralists selected to paint the 8-foot-tall performing arts-themed piece. Installation of the new drainage system is currently underway, and when the project is completed in July, Ms. Rager said a ribboncutting event open to the Santa Barbara community will be held. The $2 million project has remained on track since the ground breaking. “While we’re looking forward to the improved functionality of the space for both the theater and our neighboring businesses,

VCA has already been adopted by 15 counties in California Continued from Page A1 championed effort to mail every registered voter a ballot, expand in-person early voting and allow voters to cast their ballot at any election center in their county. Fifteen counties in California have already adopted the VCA, and Clerk-Recorder officials are proposing a budget expansion for fiscal year 2021-22 that would add Santa Barbara County to the list. Mr. Holland proposed an expansion of about $1.9 million to implement the VCA in the county, $1.1 million of which would become an annual part of the budget. Numerous supervisors voiced support for the adoption of the VCA in the county.

Fourth District Supervisor and Board Chair Bob Nelson praised the Clerk-Recorder’s department for its efforts to ensure the 2020 Presidential Election was reported accurately. “I really encourage the public that likes to throw rocks to come and watch,” Mr. Nelson said. “Come show up. Elections are transparent, you can be an observer.” He continued, “I went down to watch the counting, and I think I’m one of 10 people in the county that did that … I think it helps people understand that it’s not a backroom where all this is happening, it’s really a thoughtful process. Election officials are professionals and this is their life’s work, and they take it very seriously.” Mr. Holland reported a record-breaking turnout during the November presidential election, telling supervisors that more than 203,000 ballots were cast. This amounts to 86.6%

of registered voters in the county, he added. “We had an extremely successful, safe and secure election,” Mr. Holland said. During Friday’s meeting, supervisors also heard from other departments within the county’s General Support Services Functional Group. Officials from the Treasurer-Tax Collector and Auditor-Controller departments presented their budgets to the supervisors. Harry Hagen, the county’s treasurer-tax collector, proposed a budget of $8,462,900, of which the General Fund contributes $3,974,900. Betsy Shaffer, the county’s auditorcontroller, also presented on Friday, proposing a budget of $9.4 million for the Auditor-Controller department. General Fund contributions account for 90% of that department’s budget.

Sheldon Canley scored a pair of long touchdowns — one on a run and the other on a pass — to help Lompoc complete a short but undefeated football season, 19-9, at Santa Barbara High’s Peabody Stadium on Friday. The Dons (1-2), who had two of their five games canceled by COVID-19 protocol, jumped ahead twice in the first half. They scored early in the game on a safety after a high punt snap by the Braves. Canley rallied Lompoc (4-0) with a 35-yard TD run with 10:10 to go in the second quarter.

Santa Barbara responded with a scoring drive of its own, with Wisconsin-bound quarterback Deacon Hill running it in from three yards out. The Braves see-sawed back ahead when sophomore Cavin Ross threw a scoring pass to Elijah Perkins on fourth down and 14 yards to go from the Dons’ 34-yard line. Lompoc’s defense kept the lead at 13-9 when it stopped Santa Barbara cold on fourth-and-one from the seven-yard line just before halftime. Both defenses dug in during the second half.

UC San Diego honored Mike Tresemer, a former UCSB pitching ace who died last year, by letting his son throw one pitch against the Gauchos to start their baseball series opener in La Jolla on Friday. UCSB showed its gratitude by pummeling San Diego’s next two pitchers for 11 runs during the first three innings of a 15-2 victory that was shortened to seven innings by the Big West Conference mercy rule. The 22nd-ranked Gauchos (22-9, 13-4 Big West) have won 11 of their last 13 games to remain one game back of first-place UC Irvine. The Anteaters defeated Cal Poly 11-6 on Friday. Zach Tresemer, a redshirt senior, was making his fourth appearance and first start this season for the Tritons. His father, who passed away last April at age 57, pitched UCSB to a league championship and No. 5 national ranking in 1986. He went 18-6 during three seasons with the Gauchos. San Diego (8-17, 5-8) replaced Tresemer’s son after the first pitch with Leonard Cameron. The Gauchos proceeded to score four runs before he could record the first out. Zach Rodriguez drove in the first two on a bases-loaded single and Christian Kirtley followed with a two-run double. UCSB scored two more runs in the inning on Jason Willow’s RBI single and on a Triton throwing error when Willow stole second base. Rodriguez went 3-for-5, drove in four runs and scored three. Willow hit a two-run double in the seventh and finished with a four-RBI day. Bryce Willits was 2-for-4 with two RBI. Cole Cummings broke a school record by drawing five walks. Michael McGreevy, UCSB’s starting pitcher, benefitted from the offensive outburst by improving his record to 5-0. He gave up seven hits and two runs with five strikeouts over six innings. Nick Welch struck out the side while pitching the seventh. The two teams will resume their four-game series today with a noon doubleheader.

MEN’S SOCCER WESTMONT 2, OTTAWA 1 Landon Amaral scored off Samuel Tuscano’s assist, firing his shot into the bottom left corner of the net with just 52 seconds left in regulation, in the Golden State Athletic Conference championship game in Surprise, Ariz. Westmont (7-1-1) took a 1-0 lead into halftime on Wyatt Babineau’s goal before Ottawa knotted the score in the 79th minute.

PREP BASEBALL SANTA BARBARA 4, DOS PUEBLOS 3 Santa Barbara High won its second cross-town baseball thriller in three days, scoring three times in the seventh to send the game into extra innings before getting a walk-off victory in the eighth at Eddie Mathews Field. DP (6-4, 2-1 Channel League) got six stellar innings from Ryan Speshyock, who allowed no runs on four hits with 13 strikeouts. But Santa Barbara (6-3, 3-0), which won a 1-0 thriller at San Marcos on Wednesday, rallied from a 3-0 deficit. Erick Elizalde’s two-run single keyed a three-run seventh for the Dons. He also pitched a scoreless inning of relief in the sixth, striking out two. Zane Lee-Paulick got the pitching win by throwing three scoreless innings. “It was fun to watch Zane throw today,” coach Steve Schuck said. “He is fearless and nothing gets too big for him.” Elizalde, Cal Wipf and Vince Gamberdella got two hits each for Santa Barbara. Josh Brennan and Jackson Greaney had two apiece for the Chargers. SAN MARCOS 7, CABRILLO 5 The Royals bounced back from Wednesday’s onerun, shutout defeat to Santa Barbara by erupting for a dozen hits in their win on Friday. Henry Manfredonia, Owen Estabrook, Aiden Johnson, Emmett Speake and Aidan Mandel all had two hits each for San Marcos. Nicky Fell allowed no runs and just two hits over the first four innings, striking out six.

PREP SOFTBALL SAN MARCOS 12, CABRILLO 1 Caitlyn Early drove in three runs with a home run

and a single as the Royals romped to their Channel League victory. Cassandra Perez had three hits including a double with two RBIs. San Marcos (4-2, 2-0 league) also got two hits each from Allie Fryklund, Gigi Gritt, Mackenzie Mendoza and Izabella Velasquez. Fryklund pitched a two-hitter, allowing no earned runs and striking out 10. DOS PUEBLOS 23, SANTA BARBARA 2 Riley Monroe went 5-for-5 with a double, a triple and six RBIs to lead the Chargers’ 18-hit attack. Bella Nuno, Jessica Reveles and Georgia Wilson all had three hits for DP (3-2, 2-1 Channel League). LOMPOC 17, SANTA YNEZ 5 The Braves broke open a close game in the fifth inning. Michaela Baker went 2-for-2 for the Pirates while Lauren Swing and Sydney Gills both hit doubles.

BOYS VOLLEYBALL BISHOP DIEGO 3, FOOTHILL TECH 0 Kai Morphy, who scored 18 points for the Cardinals’ basketball team on Thursday, came back with 17 kills in the school’s 25-18, 25-21, 25-20 volleyball win over Foothill Tech. Bishop (5-1, 1-0 Tri-Valley League), which is ranked No. 3 in the CIF-Southern Section’s Division 5, also got 12 kills from Shea Romero. The Cardinals defeated Foothill Tech 3-0 (25-18, 25-21, 25-20) for it’s first league win of the year. Bishop Diego improves to 5-1 overall, 1-0 in the Tri-Valley League, and takes their #3 ranking in CIF-SS Division 5. “This is the first time in six tries we’ve been on the winning end of a Foothill Tech match,” coach Dillan Bennett said. “They are tall, athletic, and scrappy in the back court, and with a few more days of practice and competition, they’ll be hungry to get us next time around. “With our league only granting one automatic entry into playoffs this year, every league match is going to be a battle.”

BOYS TENNIS DOS PUEBLOS 17, LOMPOC 1 The Chargers won all nine doubles points to improve to 4-1 in the Channel League. SANTA BARBARA 12, SANTA YNEZ 6 The Dons won eight of the nine doubles sets to claim their Channel League victory. LAGUNA BLANCA 11, BISHOP DIEGO 7 The Cardinals’ Luke Williams lost just one game while sweeping three sets while Thomas Coleman and Nathan Ray went 2-1 in doubles, but the Owls won 10 of the other 12 sets to win their Frontier League opener.

GIRLS TENNIS DOS PUEBLOS 16, LOMPOC 2 The Chargers boosted their conference record to 41 while winning all nine singles sets. LAGUNA BLANCA 9, PROVIDENCE 9 (Cate wins in total games, 86-77) The Patriots lost a heartbreaker despite Ava Vandever’s 3-0 sweep through singles.

MEN’S TENNIS UCSB 4, UC RIVERSIDE 3 The Gauchos, who have been reduced to just four players by COVID-19 protocol, won the doubles point and then got singles wins from Victor Krustev, Pablo Masjuan, and Kai Brady to improve to 6-4 overall and 4-1 in Big West play.

WOMEN’S TENNIS UCSB 4, CSUN 1 The Gauchos lost the doubles point but rallied with four singles’ victories to extend their winning streak to seven games.

‘It’s important to any community but especially downtown Santa Barbara’ JENSEN’S

Continued from Page A1 businesses hit hardest by the pandemic. Chris Shiflett, the lead guitarist for the Foo Fighters, said when Vans approached him about participating in the campaign, picking Jensen Guitars as the small business to support was a “no brainer.” During his childhood as a Santa Barbara native, Mr. Shiflett remembers taking guitar lessons at Jensen’s with his brother, Mike. “My earliest memories of Jensen’s is being there with my brother as a real little kid,” Mr. Shiflett told the News-Press, adding that he also purchased his very first guitar at Jensen’s. Now a well-known musician and worldwide celebrity, Mr. Shiflett still looks at Jensen Guitars as the place where it all began. “When you look at the shop, you see how central that place has been to young musicians,” Mr. Shiflett said. “For me and my brothers, it was a place to go to ask questions when you didn’t know how distortion worked or what gage of sting to get. It’s really home base … It’s important to any community but especially downtown Santa Barbara. In my opinion, they need a guitar store for young musicians.” One thousand pairs of the limited-edition Foo Fighters shoes launched Tuesday on Van’s website and sold out in one day, making the pair the fastest shoes to sell out in the Foot the Bill Campaign, Mr. Shiflett said. A limited-edition collection of 250 Foo Fighter T-shirts is currently on sale on Vans website, and all the net proceeds from both the shoes and shirts will benefit Jensen’s. For Mr. Jensen, having the Foo Fighters support his business during this unprecedented time is extremely touching. “It’s really, really heartwarming because they go back a long way, and they’re one of the worldwide best-known bands out there right now,” Mr. Jensen told the News-Press. “And just to have (Chris) remember his roots … that was really really nice that he kept that all in his brain that he would really remember the place and what a good time he had here and how it helped him in his career.” With case rates declining across Santa Barbara and tier restrictions allowing more inperson shopping, Mr. Jensen said

he has hope recovery is on the way. All around the shop’s various rooms, stacked guitar cases contain instruments in need of various repairs, which “has helped a lot,” Mr. Jensen said. “It’s been a tough year, but we are kind of getting to a point where I think I can see that the cloud is lifting,” Mr. Jensen said. “If it’s true we’re going to be able to open June 15 … we’ll see what happens.” Before the Vans campaign launched earlier this week, Mr. Shiflett paid a visit to Jensen Guitars and caught up with Mr. Jensen for the first time in years. He posted a video on his social media promoting the campaign and sharing some of his favorite memories with his social media followers. “This guy’s been sitting here for about a hundred years selling guitars and teaching lessons to schmos like me,” Mr. Shiflett said with a laugh in the video. He added that his brother, Mike, is a longtime guitar teacher at Jensen’s. “I have so many memories of sitting in here and staring at all these guitars and waiting nervously to take my guitar lesson trying to figure out how to play a G chord,” he said later in the video. “This place has not changed a bit in my memory, I love it.” The limited-edition Foo Fighters T-shirt is still available for purchase on Vans’ website at vans. com/footthebill. All net proceeds will benefit Jensen Guitar & Music Co., located at 2830 De La Vina St. For more information, go to jensenguitar.com. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

Dos Pueblos tops San Marcos FOOTBALL

Continued from Page A4

Cruz control with seniors Daniel Santa Cruz and Alonzo Cruz helping them rally from a halftime deficit of 17-10. “Daniel Santa Cruz played an amazing game at outside linebacker,” coach Doug Caines said. “And Alonzo Cruz was absolutely phenomenal, with four or five pass breakups and big hits. He really locked in.” Santa Cruz also rushed for a touchdown and was awarded the Jeff Hesselmeyer Memorial Player of the Game Trophy. San Marcos (1-3) jumped out to leads of 7-0 and 10-7. Senior quarterback Rhys Morgan had a big night for the Royals, throwing a pair of touchdowns to George Tracewell and another to Lance Bermudes. Adrian Alaniz also kicked a field goal for San Marcos. But DP rallied ahead 17-10 by halftime, getting the first of Gregory Tripathi’s two field goals. Andrew Pineda also caught a touchdown pass from Chargers’ quarterback Josiah Severson.

SANTA YNEZ 67, CABRILLO 0 Bennett Redell threw for 154 yards and four touchdowns while breaking the school record for career TDs.

STANBROUGH, Pamela Barthels

Loving daughter, sister, and devoted mother, Pamela Barthels Stanbrough, passed away peacefully at her home as a result of a long period of Chronic Spinal Neuropathy, with her beloved companion dog Amber by her side on March 17, 2021. 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/ &DPSÀUH *LUO ÀOLQJ KHU 9HVW ZLWK %DGJHV IURP YDULRXV SURMHFWV DURXQG WRZQ Her zest for life began with Miss Lillian’s School of dance.

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.

to convey kindness, support, courage and empowerment.” The annual Women of Achievement luncheon is a signature event for the AWC-SB. “Like many other organizations in our community, we were disappointed when COVID forced us to postpone the luncheon last spring,” said Lisa Osborn, president. “What we learned over the past year is that good communicators are resilient. If anything, it’s even more important to honor women who have used their gifts to encourage others.” Funds raised through the luncheon are used to underwrite networking and professional development programs for members of AWC-SB. The local chapter is part of the national organization of the Association for Women in Communications, which has been encouraging women to develop

their skills as communicators for more than 100 years. The Santa Barbara chapter sponsors monthly meetings in which women at all stages of their careers stay current with important developments in the technology, practice, psychology and ethics of communications. Members are also encouraged to assume leadership roles in the organization, their careers and their communities. “We truly appreciate the sponsors who stuck with us even though we had to reschedule and restructure the event,” said Ms. Osborn, adding that the AWC-SB has continued to have monthly meetings which are open to the public and free to members. “We have had meetings on everything from crisis communications to self-care.” email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

SB police praises dispatchers, animal control officers By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

n honor of National Telecommunications Operators week and National Animal Control Officers week, the Santa Barbara Police Department issued a statement acknowledging the hard work and dedication of two of its most critical partners — dispatchers and animal control officers. The combined communication center is home to the department’s dispatchers and call takers. Dispatchers, often referred to as the central nervous system of law enforcement agencies, are considered pivotal employees to the department and community in their assistance in law enforcement responses. “A dispatcher is the first of the first responders,” Ron Dunn, combined communications center manager, said in a statement. “They answer your call, give pre-arrival instructions, listen

to cries of those who need help and do a multitude of things at one time — all while keeping our men and women responding to the scene safe. I have been in Public Safety Communications for 28 years, and I can assure you your Santa Barbara Police/Fire dispatchers are some of the finest I have worked with.” SBPD employs 11 full-time dispatchers, and dispatchers receive approximately 100,000 calls a year, authorities said. Santa Barbara Animal Control officers are considered essential to the agency as they work to rescue helpless animals from situations of abuse, starvation, neglect, injury and disease. They assist pet owners in locating resources for spay and neuter, low-cost veterinary services, training, and more “Santa Barbara Police Department Animal Control Officers devote their time and love of animals by responding to tough calls every day and handle these incidents in a humane and compassionate

manner,” Animal Control Supervisor Sgt. Kasi Crobett said in a statement. “SBPD Animal Control Officers respond to numerous calls a day and are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to respond to animal emergencies.” SBPD employs three fulltime animal control officers who have a combined 30 years of service. The group responds to an average of 2,000 calls for a service a year. “Both of these jobs are incredibly difficult and absolutely vital to the dayto-day operations of any law enforcement agency, especially here in Santa Barbara,” Interim Police Chief Bernard Melekian said in a statement. “I would like to acknowledge and thank our dispatchers and Animal Control officers for their continued dedication to their profession and the services they provided to the community.” email: mwhite@newspress.com

Honoring Esther Villagomez

Former home now affordable housing for farmworkers By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

In an emotional ceremony, People’s Self-Help Housing welcomed the Villagomez family to the new Guadalupe Court Apartments, the location of their former family home. The site on the northern end of Guadalupe now has 38 affordable housing units for farmworkers and their families. The recent reception, which began at the community center, meandered along landscaped pathways, took in the children’s playground and concluded at a commemorative plaque. It was attended by two generations of the Villagomez family, travelling from throughout the state, to honor the

memory of matriarch Esther. Reading from a letter sent by a family member who had inspired the tribute, Ken Trigueiro, PSHH chief executive officer and president, shared with the assembled group that “Esther stayed here caring for the property . . . she liked field work because it was outdoors. . . Esther said she never wanted to do anything else.” Going on to laud her love of the land, but more importantly her love of the people who worked it, Mr. Trigueiro continued with, “She may be looking down from heaven with a happy heart knowing that 38 families will live in comfort.” The Villagomez family, who have gone on to include social

workers, educators, social justice advocates and members of the agricultural community, gathered at the foot of the original palm tree, which had stood on the land where their forebears had lived. A stone monument is now placed there in recognition of the efforts of Esther, who showed empathy to anyone who struggled with housing. As a token of thanks to the Villagomez family, who shared their heartwarming memories of Esther, including her love of roses that had once adorned the home, attendees were gifted rose bushes to commemorate and carry on her legacy. email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

Diversions horoscope • puzzles

ARIES — An unexpected financial windfall could come your way today, Aries. You may stand there with an open envelope in your hand, unable to speak. Whether it’s an unanticipated bonus, gift, or surprising stock dividend, invest the money wisely. You’ve spent a lot of money recently, and it would be good for you to begin to replenish the bank account. TAURUS — Even though you’re slaving away at work, your mind is very much on romance. Passion is running high, especially yours, Taurus! If you already have a romantic partner, why not plan an intimate evening together? If you don’t yet have someone special in your life, it’s likely you will meet someone today or soon thereafter. Make sure you look your best at all times! GEMINI — If you had to score your life right now, it would have to be a perfect ten. You look great, your career is going well, and your domestic life is harmonious. Could there be anything more to life? Don’t think so. You may receive news of more success at work when an important sale comes through or a project is successfully completed. You have much to celebrate, Gemini! CANCER — You have a lot to celebrate, Cancer, especially where your love life is concerned. Today you may receive a communication from your loved one that makes you yearn for this person’s company. You’ve been together a lot recently, attending many dinners and social gatherings, but you’ve had little one-on-one time. Do what you can to rectify that tonight! LEO — There’s a lot of work to be done today, and much of it centers on finances. Whether you’re working on budgets or investments, you will easily finish the task. Your trusty computer will help you as you discover a new website that supports your efforts or post a question in a financial chatroom that yields many responses. Favorable advancement is likely, Leo, if not today then quite soon. VIRGO — You may be privy to some information today that will ultimately result in financial gain, Virgo. You may get wind of a new company and be one of the first investors. Or perhaps what you hear gives you an idea for a new product that you bring to market yourself. The outlook for you is rosy indeed, although your success

won’t come without putting your own skills and talents to use! LIBRA — Expect to receive some great news today, Libra. Answer your phone and check email all day, because you never know when it will come. Indications suggest that success in all aspects of your life is coming. You may complete a project to acclaim or submit a report that’s accepted without question. These small successes boost your selfconfidence, which brings more success. It’s a powerful cycle. SCORPIO — Your optimistic nature has served you well. This quality makes you a great manager since you can motivate and inspire co-workers. Today you may be recognized for your leadership abilities and can-do attitude. Your reward might be a promotion or bonus, or perhaps another project even more challenging than the last. Your career efforts bring you success. You have a lot to celebrate, Scorpio! SAGITTARIUS — You woke up feeling happy and enthusiastic, Sagittarius. Your intuition tells you that you will achieve whatever you set your mind to. Whatever your goals - career, education, or personal - you’re bound to succeed. If you don’t have a significant other by your side to support your progress, all signs indicate that you will meet someone soon. If you have a mate, lucky you! CAPRICORN — Whether you spend today with your feet on the ground or in an airplane, you’re eager and enthusiastic about your life direction. If you aren’t on your way to a distant land, it’s likely that you will be airborne soon, Capricorn. You’ve achieved tremendous success lately and that trend is going to continue. If this trip is a reward to yourself for all of your hard work, you deserve it! AQUARIUS — Success and good fortune are strongly indicated today, Aquarius, along with a sense of optimism. All sorts of changes and surprises lie in store for you. You may receive information from a business partner that radically changes your short-term plans. A trip may be in order, or you could have a visitor. You accept the change in plans with your usual good humor. You’re a winner! PISCES — Money matters are highlighted today, Pisces. You can expect to spend a lot of time with the calculator as you balance your checkbook or begin to work on your budget. Even if you don’t consider yourself particularly good with numbers, you will do a great job. You’re conscientious. Success in all endeavors is indicated today.

Thought for Today

Y Q T C N L F E B S K

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.

brewery — it is an innovative incubator of brands. Cali-Squeeze has been a great win for us, and in a short space of time has become a runaway success on the West Coast,” said Hamish Marshall, coowner of SLO Brewing Company. “This sale provides a significant opportunity for us to invest in what we do best — developing and building up new, groundbreaking brands, including Tio Rodrigo craft micheladas, Porch Pounder and Rod & Hammer’s SLO Stills whiskey.” Added David Walker, co-founder of Firestone Walker, “CaliSqueeze presents a unique beer style for us to explore through what we like to call ‘Fruits with Benefits.’ As a traditional hopforward craft brewer, we have watched these styles evolve, and we see Cali-Squeeze as the beer to help with that discovery.” — Marilyn McMahon

Ten shootings have resulted in four or more deaths this year shooting

people who kept us safe when we all had to stay home,’” Ms. Dudley said. “We depended on the post office and FedEx to get us the supplies we needed, so they were our heroes. “Once again, we’re seeing this horrible gun violence perpetrated on such vulnerable people, but people who are such a part of the fabric of America, especially highlighted during the COVID pandemic.” There is no clear numerical definition of a mass shooting, but according to the standards of the Violence Project, Gun Violence Archive and Congress’ definition of “mass killings,” along with national media, the number tends to be four deaths or more, sometimes including the death of the shooter and sometimes not. The Indianapolis shooting joins 10 other shootings with four deaths or above just in 2021, including: Evanston, Ill., on Jan. 9 with five deaths; Indianapolis on Jan. 24 with five deaths; Muskogee, Okla., on Feb. 2 with six deaths; Indianapolis again on March 13 with four deaths; Atlanta on March 16 with eight deaths; Boulder, Colo., on March 22 with 10 deaths; Essex, Md., on March 28 with four deaths; Orange, Calif., on March 31 with four deaths; Allen, Texas, on April 3 with four deaths; and Rock Hill, S.C., on April 7 with five deaths. “I think it’s going to continue to grow until we decide to do something,” Ms. Dudley said. “We have a complacent culture of violence now which is shocking, and we have a president who’s recommended that we deal with it with two just very obvious laws — ghost guns and the red flag law … Why that’s not national at this point, I don’t know.” However, the district attorney said she might know the answer as to why, and said that in order to be able to pass gun laws nationally, “We all need to personalize this.” She said she’s seen city leaders with strong opposition to gun laws “suddenly put their partisanship aside” and pass gun laws when it happens in their town. “People invest in it when it becomes personal,” she said. “These FedEx people were our FedEx people, our mail deliverers, our relatives — they

“I think it’s going to continue to grow until we decide to do something. We have a complacent culture of violence now which is shocking.” Joyce Dudley, Santa Barbara County District Attorney were part of our family, and the minute we all personalize this, we’ll all be motivated to do more.” Ms. Dudley also spoke to the ongoing debate of how mass shootings should be covered by the media, as some experts believe media coverage can inspire others to copy these actions or commit similar crimes, or try to kill more people than their predecessor, according to an article published by the National Center for Health Research. “If it’s not news that eight of our local heroes, people who saved lives by going to work while we stayed home, are killed … If you don’t make that news, then what is news? Are we really just going to accept that it’s not even worthy of news the way a change in the weather would be?” she said. “That’s wrong, but on the same token, do we want to give any glory to the shooters? Of course not. “I go back to my initial statement. This is news. This becomes so trivialized if we decide, (with) whatever issues in terms of the First Amendment, we’re not going to publicize this, then we’re not dealing with one of the most horrific tragic occurrences that can ever occur.” Friday afternoon, President Biden demanded that Republicans in Congress take action on passing legislation expanding background checks and closing loopholes, referring to the string of mass shootings as a “national embarrassment.” email: gmccormick@newspress.com
