Viral cell recognition Artificial intelligence startup works on technology with diagnostic potential

Rupert Dodkins, a data scientist with ViQi, stands at his office in Goleta. The company has worked on the development of machine learning for viral cell infection image recognition.

By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

ViQi, a Goleta artificial intelligence startup that was born out of the COVID-19 pandemic, has received the second phase of National Science Foundation funding to continue the development of machine learning for viral cell infection image recognition. Kathy Yeung, CEO of ViQi, told the News-

Press the technology holds the potential of being diagnostic. “AIs could be trained to diagnose which viruses are being identified in cells,” said Ms. Yeung. She talked about the history of the work. “In April of 2020, the National Science Foundation put out a COVID grant call looking for solutions to help with the pandemic,” she said.“ViQi developed over 10

years at UCSB. “Our chief science officer, Dr. Ilya Goldberg, ran a lab at the National Institute of Health for over 10 years,” she said. “He proposed to train an AI to detect subtle changes in a cell that is infected with virus before it is humanly visible. In any kind of antiviral or vaccine development, you have to quantify how many Please see AI on A10

Public trust, transparency and integrity of both the elected official and the election process are the core values on which Elrawd MacLearn, candidate for county-clerk recorder-assessor has built his campaign. He has stepped up to challenge incumbent Joe Holland, who has held the office for 20 years in Santa Barbara County. Mr. MacLearn currently works for the county health department as a health inspector. Mr. MacLearn has served in politics since he was in high school when he started working as a polling place inspector for the registrar of voters when he was 18, and he was eventually promoted to a supervisor role. “I am a person who believes in solutions and creating solutions and not just complaining about it and not doing anything,” Mr. MacLearn told the NewsPress. “One of the issues that is discussed at every single election is election integrity. Even when I was younger listening to the elections between Al Gore and George Bush and the recounts they had to do, that was really cemented in my mind. Even further back to the 2000 election, when I was even younger it made a huge impact on my psyche.” This is not Mr. MacLearn’s first run for public office. In 2020, he ran for Santa Barbara Unified School District School Board trustee and lost. “Being a candidate allowed

me to see different aspects of elections,” said Mr. MacLearn. “Aside from campaign costs, running for office can be very expensive. Mandatory fees can be a few thousand dollars to $12,000. These fees must be paid by the candidate before the candidate can actually do anything.” The duties of the county-clerk recorder assessor office fall into three primary categories: maintaining marriage, birth and death certificates; assessing property value; and managing elections. The last area involves printing ballots, counting and certifying ballots, ensuring that candidates are qualified to run, and maintaining voter registration. “In public offices there should be transparency in what is going on. The voters have a legal right to access. To be ignored is total Please see MACLEARN on A10

Westmont amplifying downtown Santa Barbara presence By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Westmont College is continuing to expand its presence in downtown Santa Barbara — a move meant to foster community and connection between the private liberal arts school and the city. Thanks to a donation from Celeste and Robert White last year, Westmont was able to purchase a four-story building at 29 W. Anapamu St. The building is nestled directly across the street from its Westmont Downtown headquarters at 26 W. Anapamu St. Official plans and programs for the building are still in the works, but college leaders said they hope to have it ready by the fall of 2023. The possibilities for the new building are endless, from expanding health care and film studies to adding general-purpose spaces to be utilized by both Westmont and the Santa Barbara community to potentially adding housing options, Rick Ostrander, the executive director of the Westmont Downtown program, said. “Generally, for the new building, we want to develop programs that will be academic excellence with

a liberal arts foundation,” Dr. Ostrander told the News-Press. “Along with that, we want to use the new building for community engagement and to benefit the Santa Barbara community since our main campus is over the ridge, so to speak, in Montecito. It gives us an opportunity for more direct connection to organizations and people in the downtown Santa Barbara community.” Adding the building will also give Westmont the ability to up its enrollment without increasing the

More firefighting aid sent to NM By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – In response to wildfires burning throughout New Mexico, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the deployment of additional firefighting support to the state on Wednesday. Several fires are currently burning across New Mexico, with the largest being the Hermit’s Peak and Calf Canyon Fires, which have burned more than 303,000 acres and are at 34% containment as of Thursday. Meanwhile, the Cerro Pelado fire has scorched more than 45,600 acres and is at 74% containment, and the Bear Trap fire has burned more than 19,000 acres and is 28% contained as of Thursday. Gov. Newsom initially deployed firefighting support to New Mexico on April 30. This additional support includes three strike teams with 15 California Office of Emergency Services engines and 55 personnel, according to the governor’s office. In total, California has sent five strike teams to New Mexico from agencies across the state.

volunteers and the entire community for jumping into action to help these pelicans,” said Ariana Katovich, executive director of SBWCN. “While we’re still unsure what’s causing this emergency situation, we are continuing to take in these birds and help them in any way we can.” The public can support SBWCN during this time by making a donation to support the purchase of medications, fluids, food and additional supplies. Donations can be made online at www.sbwcn. org/don. To report a sick or injured pelican in Santa Barbara County or Ventura County, citizens should call the SBWCN Helpline: 805-6811080. Updates on the unfolding situation can be found at www.

sbwcn.org/pelicans. Brown pelicans are large seabirds that range anywhere from 8 to 10 pounds with a wingspan between 6.5 to 7.5 feet. They are common residents of the southern coasts of the United States with ranges extending down to South America. They are known for plungediving into the ocean to catch their food, one of only two pelican species to do so. These social birds can be found congregating in large flocks almost year round. Populations reached dangerously low numbers in the 1960s due to pollution from the pesticide DDT, and the species was listed as endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1972. Thanks to DDT regulations

and conservation recovery efforts, the brown pelican has since been removed from the endangered species list. SBWCN is a nonprofit organization that was founded in 1988 to rescue, rehabilitate and return to the wild sick, injured and oil-impaired animals in Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties and to educate the public about living in harmony with wildlife. SBWCN takes care of more than 4,000 patients per year including small mammals, seabirds, songbirds, raptors and herptiles. The SBWCN Helpline is available everyday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for animal emergencies and wildlife advice at 805-681-1080.

crawling on his back and pulling her behind him. When he was almost out of the building, Deputy Ashley took a breath and immediately felt the effects of the smoke and hot air from inside the apartment. He had difficulty breathing and started to get dizzy. Deputy Ellis stepped into the apartment and pulled both Deputy Ashley and the woman to safety outside the

apartment. Once at the street, deputies, Deputies Ashley and Ellis rendered aid to the woman until additional personnel arrived to assist. The woman was transported to Cottage Hospital and was later transported to a hospital in Los Angeles. The woman is recovering from her injuries at a recovery hospital in the Los Angeles area.

If it was not for the quick thinking and immediate actions of these two sheriff’s deputies, it is doubtful that the woman would have survived the fire, according to a news release.

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office would like to congratulate the three sheriff’s employees who were honored with the prestigious H.Thomas Guerry Award. Deputies Ashley and Ellis and pilot Lore Courtney were honored with the award. The honors were handed out at a ceremony held this week at the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors’ Hearing Room. It was attended by personnel from local law enforcement agencies and local dignitaries as well as families and friends. On Nov. 9, 2021, at approximately 4:53 p.m., deputies were dispatched to assist fire personnel with a structure fire in the 100 block of Orange Avenue in Goleta. It had been reported there was possibly someone trapped inside the building, after the deputies had been dispatched. Deputies Ashley and Ellis were the first to arrive on scene. They were directed to the affected apartment by a neighbor, and they were able to see smoke coming from the apartment. The deputies made their way to the apartment and initially could not see inside due to the thick smoke. Deputy Ellis attempted to look inside but was quickly overwhelmed by the smoke and pulled his head back outside. Deputy Ashley dropped to the ground and was able to see as there was a layer of clear air along the floor. He estimated the smoke was standing about one and a half feet off the floor, and he was able to see a woman down on the floor about 20 feet inside the apartment. Deputy Ashley held his breath and crawled along the floor making his way to the woman. When he arrived, he saw her clothing was on fire and she was unconscious. He patted the fire out on her clothing and began to pull her out of the apartment,

With one of the nation’s largest firefighting forces, it’s common for California to deploy mutual aid to fires across state borders. Gov. Newsom also sent help under the Emergency Management Assistance Compact in July of 2021, when he sent fire personnel to Oregon to assist with the Bootleg Fire that burned more than 413,000 acres, eventually spreading south into Northern California. Other states across the nation have also responded to wildfires in California by sending firefighting support in years past. “California has been very lucky to have been the recipient of mutual aid from states across our country, from Texas and New York, New Jersey, and certainly our neighboring states here on the West Coast, Oregon, Nevada, Washington, Arizona and New Mexico,” Brian Ferguson, deputy director of crisis communication for Cal OES, told The Center Square. “When we have an opportunity to kind of repay that support, we certainly look to fulfill that and try to help protect the communities in the same way that they’ve helped protect our communities.”

An unusual influx of emaciated, weak and hypothermic brown pelicans, a type of seabird, began arriving May 14 at the Wildlife Hospital at the Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network. The brown pelicans have been arriving at a rate that has been accelerating daily, with a total of 180 have been rescued and delivered to the SBWCN facility. While the birds are being examined and receiving care, the exact cause of their condition is still being investigated at this time. The unknown cause is unusual and alarming with multiple groups along the Southern California coast working to identify the reason for this dramatic decline of a charismatic species. These pelicans have been rescued from all over Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties. Most of them are lethargic, unable to fly or move or are found in an unusual location. SBWCN’s team of rescuers and volunteers have been retrieving and transporting as many patients as possible to the rehabilitation facility in Goleta. Reports of many more sick and deceased pelicans continue to come in. All new patients receive a full intake exam upon arriving at SBWCN. Most of these pelicans are found to be emaciated, and a few have additional injuries. The SBWCN team is treating these birds by providing fluids, food, medication, warmth and supportive care. The team is working with other nearby wildlife centers to transport some of the birds and assist in their rehabilitation. SBWCN’s brand new Wildlife Hospital is providing critical space and resources to assist in this emergency. The hospital’s doors opened in February and the building features 5,400 square feet of state-of-the-art facilities. The Seabird Bay, a room dedicated to housing seabirds, normally only holds a handful of patients at a time. Currently, this room is converted into a large pen in order to accommodate all of the pelicans in care. This situation is also occurring in the middle of spring baby season when SBWCN receives hundreds of orphaned baby birds and mammals in need of care. Currently, there are more than 300 total patients. “I’m so proud of our staff,

TRAFFIC, CRIME AND FIRE BLOTTER Truck trailer traffic collision A truck trailer traffic collision took place at 4:40 a.m. Friday on Highway 101, north of State Route 166. The first party was driving a truck trailer combination northbound on Highway 101 at an unknown speed, according to the California Highway Patrol. The first party made an unsafe turning movement to the right and left the east roadway edge, according to CHP. The truck struck a guardrail along the right shoulder. The impact forced the truck trailer combination to travel across the northbound lanes, and the vehicle left the west roadway edge and struck the guardrail in the center median. This caused the vehicle to overturn and the vehicle came to a rest, blocking the northbound No. 1 lane, CHP said. Party No. 1 sustained minor injuries and was transported to Marian Medical Center in Santa Maria. The trailer was loaded with produce and unable to be overturned back onto its wheels, prior to being off loaded, due to weight concerns, according to CHP. — Katherine Zehnder

influence of the college, and do it within the same vicinity of our main campus,” Dr. Beebe said. Westmont already offers an Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at the existing downtown campus. The new building could expand health profession programs as well as space for media and film studios. Dr. Ostrander said the school is also considering developing meeting areas that could be utilized by the public. “We do believe that as a college, it’s important that the

college itself is a member of the community, and we want to graduate students who are committed to what we refer to as the common good or benefiting society in some ways — and not just in the theoretical sense, but in a practical way,” Dr. Ostrander said. “We’ve seen in recent decades — and many people have spoken to the erosion of these common bonds in communities — and we believe it’s important to equip students to be able to be involved in their communities and benefit those in a variety of ways,” he added. “That’s not the main purpose of the downtown building, but we do hope it can

provide that as well.” Last fall, Westmont announced it received two major donations totaling more than $15 million. Ed and Mollie Miller gave the college $8.2 million to support the Paul Raymond Miller Scholarship Endowment, named in honor of Mr. Miller’s father and established 35 years prior. The school also received $7.25 million from the Whites, which gave Westmont the ability to purchase the 29 W. Anapamu St. building. The facility is to be named the “Keith Building” in honor of alumna Ms. White’s father, Ed Keith. “I’m so grateful for Celeste’s

service as a board member. She demonstrates her deep and abiding loyalty and commitment to the college in numerous ways,” Dr. Beebe said at the time. “For example, all four of their children attended Westmont. In addition, Robert has been a great partner with Celeste in embracing all things Westmont. Together they have given generously and cared deeply about the college’s life and mission.” Planning — including obtaining city approval when needed — and fundraising efforts for the new building are ongoing. email: kschallhorn@newspress.com

(The Center Square) – The stock market came back from a midday drop on Friday, the day ending with the S&P 500 Index 18.6% below the record high set in early January. A bear market would have begun if the decline reached 20%. The stock market tumble is a continuation from declines earlier this week, a week that saw record high gas prices continue to rise. Other contributing factors in the index most closely associated with workers 401(k) accounts are rising interest rates, inflation, the war in Ukraine and China’s economy. “Since 1928, the S&P 500 has had 1 bear market every 4 years on average,” Charlie Bilello, founder of Compound Capital Advisors, wrote on Twitter. “With the S&P down 20% from its peak in January, this is now the 3rd bear market we’ve experienced in less than 4 years.” New polling shows the majority of Americans expect a recession as energy prices and inflation continue to soar. Quinnipiac University released new polling this week that showed most Americans are pessimistic about the nation’s economic future. “The overwhelming majority of Americans (85 percent) think it is either very likely (45 percent) or somewhat likely (40 percent)

The stock market tumble is a continuation from declines earlier this week, a week that saw record high gas prices continue to rise. that there will be an economic recession in the next year, while 12 percent think it is either not so likely (8 percent) or not likely at all (4 percent),” the poll said. Overall, Americans did not think the economy was doing well before the stock market declines this week. “Roughly 1 in 5 Americans (19 percent) say the state of the nation’s economy these days is either excellent (2 percent) or good (17 percent), while 4 in 5 Americans (80 percent) say it’s either not so good (34 percent) or poor (46 percent),” the poll reported. “This is Americans’ most negative description of the state of the nation’s economy in a Quinnipiac University poll since President Biden took office.”

IRS under fire over wasted billions of dollars and millions in backlogs By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – Lawmakers continued to raise concerns about the Internal Revenue Service at a Congressional hearing this week as the agency deals with billions in misspent dollars, hefty processing backlogs, and complaints over poor customer service. Lawmakers lobbed questions at the tax-collecting agency during the House Ways and Means Oversight Subcommittee hearing. “The program has an annual improper payment rate of around 25%. In the latest fiscal year, the improper payment amount totaled $19 billion,” Rep. Tom Rice, R-S.C., said at the hearing this week. Rep. Rice said the agency has 16 million unprocessed returns. Critics have blasted the agency for months for its backlog of millions of returns. Others pointed to the poor customer service at the IRS, an agency that has struggled to keep up with call volume from Americans asking for help. “I believe that the most significant unfairness facing American taxpayers right now is the lack of customer service at the IRS,” Rep. Rice said. “At the same time, IRS phone service levels are near an all-time low, making it nearly impossible to reach an IRS agent for help with tax or audit matters,” he added. “Many taxpayers have been waiting for resolutions to their tax filings and to receive long overdue refunds. This is unfair and needs to be fixed.” Lawmakers from both parties have sent a series of letters to the IRS asking questions and looking for solutions. A bipartisan group of over 100 members of Congress sent a letter to the IRS in March about some of these issues. “We remain concerned that the IRS does not have a comprehensive plan to remedy the numerous problems affecting taxpayers, despite the fact that this filing season is already well underway,” the lawmakers wrote to IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig. “For example, there is continued confusion about which notices may be unilaterally suspended by the IRS, beyond the notices the IRS has already suspended, among other issues.” A group of Republicans sent a similar letter in January. “Since the start of the

The IRS has defended its work, pointing out it was given an array of new responsibilities during President Joe Biden’s first year in office. pandemic, Members of Congress have been expressing concerns about the unfolding crisis and urging you to take action to resolve the backlog as soon as possible,” the letter said. “We understand that at this point significant tradeoffs may be required at the agency to meaningfully reduce the backlog in the next few weeks, but we think the time for such tradeoffs and drastic action is now.” The IRS has defended its work, pointing out it was given an array of new responsibilities during President Joe Biden’s first year in office. “The IRS’s response to COVID19 included delivering more than $800 billion in Economic Impact Payments (EIP) to help Americans cope with the financial effects of COVID-19, and delivering more than 200 million advance payments of the Child Tax Credit (CTC) totaling $93 billion to eligible families between July and December of last year,” said Kenneth Corbin, an IRS official helping lead “taxpayer experience” issues for the agency who testified at the hearing. Mr. Corbin also pointed out that IRS officials warned Americans to file early and accurately to avoid delays. “For that reason, the IRS worked diligently to encourage people to take extra precautions this year to allow them to receive their refund quickly and avoid processing delays,” Mr. Corbin said. “For example, we encouraged people to file electronically, file an accurate return and request a direct deposit of their refund.”

Santa Barbara to be featured on “CBS Sunday Morning” this weekend By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Jane Pauley will anchor a special “By Design’’ edition of “CBS Sunday Morning” from Santa Barbara that focuses on all aspects of design — from the home to our lives — to be broadcast at 7 a.m. Sunday (PT) on the CBS Television Network (Channel 12) and streaming on Paramount+. The broadcast, featuring Montecito’s historic El Fureidis estate, the Santa Barbara Mission, Ganna Walska Lotusland and other prominent locations in Santa Barbara, continues a long tradition at “CBS Sunday Morning” to feature one broadcast in May focused on design and travel. Rand Morrison is the executive producer. The crew was in town May 8 and 9 for the filming. It was the second time Ms. Pauley visited Santa Barbara, and the first for Mr. Morrison, according to emails sent to the News-Press Friday from New York City by Richard Huff of CBS News. “Memorably, I interviewed Michael Jordan there 20 years ago. But in that one overnight visit, Santa Barbara made a big impression, so beautiful and unlike anywhere else. I claim credit for bringing the show there, but I can’t prove it. It wasn’t a tough sell,” said Ms. Pauley. “I was surprised at the variety. Literally something for everyone. I walked out on the pier by myself as soon as I got there to see the ocean and watch the surf rolling in. Just across the street the Funk Zone was alive on a Friday night. Food. Wine. Music. “But the quiet spots were my favorite attractions. Bungalows in town. Mansions up in the hills. Lotusland. When ‘Sunday Morning’ visits, we’ve often been given private access to museums, and I’ve had one-to-one privilege with Van Gogh and Leonardo and Michelangelo’s David.

Sparkling … even the brick sidewalks speak to attention to detail. If you’re going to do a ‘Design Issue’ of ‘Sunday Morning,’ there may be no better place to do it! “As someone who knew precious little about Santa Barbara, I was surprised just how many folks from all across the country have wisely selected it as their primary or secondary home.” When asked what prompted CBS to do the show on Santa Barbara, Mr. Morrison said, “We’ve visited Newport, San Simeon, the Hamptons, Florence.

It was time for us to afford Santa Barbara equal time!” Previous editions have been anchored from the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina, Hearst Castle in California, The Breakers in Rhode Island, as well as locations in Florence, London and Amsterdam. Ms. Pauley will delve into the rich history of Santa Barbara, which was inspired by Spanish design and was once known as the Hollywood of the North.

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.

more and more interested in new technologies these days, Libra. What you once considered very progressive now seems much closer to reality. You’ll notice to what an extent it is now crucial for you to align yourself with the cutting-edge technology that surrounds you. Don’t hesitate. Scorpio: For a while now, a certain number of planetary configurations have been continually pushing you to become aware that you live on a whole planet and not just in a city or neighborhood. You’re becoming more aware of society at large, Scorpio. This means that you may be increasingly attracted to largescale movements. Sagittarius: The current configuration of the planets will make you the bearer of a new philosophy, Sagittarius. This doesn’t mean that you’ll be New Age, but more precisely that you’ll have ideas that evolved from it. It’s easy to imagine you attending conferences given by the leading minds of the day. Most assuredly, you’re searching for answers. Be careful about being too easily convinced by any “truth” that comes your way. Capricorn: You may feel that you’ve made real progress in your relationships, Capricorn. And you’re right to feel this way. “Evolution” best defines the path you’re on right now. You can be proud of yourself, because the work you do on an individual level is the best way for you to contribute to the development of society. Aquarius: Why not radically change the way you behave toward others, Aquarius? You’re in the process of orienting yourself toward establishing relationships that are more solid and enriching, with far fewer risks involved. This wasn’t the case before. When you don’t try so hard to seduce and impress, your audience claps louder. Pisces: This could be a good day to try relaxation techniques that are a little bit out of the ordinary. Who knows? Maybe you’ll even learn something from these unorthodox methods. Why not explore shiatsu or polarity? These techniques can do wonders for restoring your energy, an element that has been in short supply for you lately.

HOROSCOPE Aries: Currently, you are in the midst of some profound questioning about your emotional attitudes. You’ll probably find yourself totally free of inhibitions, much to your delight. It’s an opportunity to meet new people and perhaps become a bit more open-minded. Taurus: If you find your companions a bit too stodgy, today is the day to jostle them out of complacency. You may enjoy experimenting with a bit of naughtiness. For example, how will the people around you react if you flout certain social taboos, such as talking openly about sex? Since you’re comfortable with the subject, why not have fun stretching the limits of convention? Gemini: There is the likelihood that you’ve been a bit of a loner lately. It’s as though you decided to look at things differently from the rest of the world, rejecting the individualistic viewpoint in favor of a more global one. Today, you may achieve a new phase in this process. You may attain some summit of consciousness from which you finally have the ability to forgive! Cancer: Is there some material need weighing on your spirit right now, Cancer? If you can’t see how to solve the problem alone, why not discuss it with your friends? They may have some ideas. Today, the word “impossible” has been banished from the English language. Leo: Today’s prospects should suit the dynamic, idealistic being that you are, especially right now. There will be some criticism in the air, and you won’t miss an opportunity to punctuate your comments with your famous irony. Your viewpoints on corporate rigidity and conformist attitudes are well known, but today your sense of humor prevails and people listen to you with pleasure! Virgo: There’s an excellent day on the horizon, Virgo. If you feel hemmed in by fears or uncertainties in your love life, the day ahead will give you the courage to discuss these matters with your mate. Even if more time is necessary to settle things completely, you should make good use of today’s clear communication channels. Libra: You can expect to be

Mr. Courtney launched 104 responses to law enforcement missions, including 27 vehicle pursuits, three foot pursuits and 35 crime-related searches, resulting in the apprehension of

35 suspects. Mr. Courtney responded to 79 of these incidents after-hours. In the news release, the Sheriff’s Office noted Mr. Courtney has shown exceptional loyalty and dedication to the Air Support Unit, to the fire service and law enforcement agencies that he flies in support of, and, most of all, to the people of Santa Barbara County. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

We are in the process of completing the development of the assay.” Ms. Yeung explained the difference between first and second phase NSF funding. First phase funding is dedicated to research and development. Second phase funding is for commercialization. “They support small businesses that are innovating. We have a minimum viable product to continue to innovate and develop. We will also go into the marketplace and monetize based on the

technology,” said Ms. Yeung. “We were extremely excited, along with our collaborators, that for each virus we have tried so far, we have been able to train and accurately quantify viral infectivity using this assay,” she said. “Eight virus types tested include DNA, RNA, enveloped, and non-enveloped viruses, as well as viruses that do not reliably result in detectable cytopathic effects, such as HIV and Adenovirus.“ “This new $1 million grant will allow us to further optimize our cloud-based solution and make it available to any lab working on applications such as vaccines, antivirals, viral clearance testing, viral gene therapy, oncolytic therapies and potentially even diagnostics,” said Dr. Goldberg, the chief science officer. The continued development of this technology is expected to assist in pandemic preparedness, as well as for research for antivirals and vaccines. “Viruses are being used as vectors for gene therapy,” Ms. Yeung said. “This opens a large market opportunity for us with viral vector gene therapy. There are subtle changes in the morphology of the cells when they are infected.” email: kzehnder@newspress.com

disdain for the public and the voter,” said Mr. MacLearn. “Why can’t the public and the government agency have an open and honest discussion when there are clear concerns? I got started due to public officials not being responsive to the voter,” he said. “Joe Holland is the most known, unknown public official. You see his name everywhere, but no one really knows what he does.” Mr. MacLearn currently serves as the planning commissioner for the city of Goleta. Additionally, he was involved with student government during his undergraduate career and ran for student senate. Mr. MacLearn graduated with a bachelor’s in 2017 in biology from UCLA. “I didn’t like the politics involved on campus, and I still don’t. Someone who dislikes the politics is the best person to actually be involved, because I am not in it for the accolades,” said Mr. MacLearn. Mr. MacLearn discussed his qualifications for the office. “I believe that I have the integrity necessary for public office. It seems like right now there is a lack of faith and trust in not only the elections process but in government in general. “Now more than ever, we need people like myself in office to show the public that things can get done in a better way,” he said. “It isn’t you vs. the government,” Mr. MacLearn said. “We can make changes together. Faith needs to be restored in our government process. It’s not a Republican or a Democrat thing; it’s across the board. Everyone feels disenfranchised by public officials. “I am willing and able to make things better,” he said. “Joe Holland has been in office for 20 years going for 24. When you have been in office for

that long you become jaded and disconnected from the general populace. Additionally, I am a quick learner. There are going to be things that need to be done in that office that I am able to learn quickly,” Mr. MacLearn said. The News-Press asked Mr. MacLearn why he felt he was better qualified than the incumbent. “I didn’t realize this until I started running for this position, but he’s a candidate for the election and he is the one managing the election. He should recuse himself so that there is no conflict of interest even if that conflict of interest is perceived. Being able to have integrity is being willing to say ‘I want to be above reproach.’ I want to take those stances so I am not even able to be perceived as doing something wrong. It’s about restoring public trust. If he isn’t going to take those steps, then I am clearly more qualified than him.” Mr. MacLearn explained how he would ensure the accuracy, security and transparency of elections. “The first thing to start off is to ensure the accuracy of the voter registration. Right now the methods are very passive. It causes a lot of confusion and waste. “The process needs to be updated, turning from a passive to an active registration. Including a thorough investigation of change of address registration. We also need to update interagency communication,” said Mr. MacLearn. “The public has a lot of mistrust in the voting system,” said Mr MacLearn. The county relies on voting machines. (Ballots are scanned.) “We need to do a third party audit on the system to restore public trust,” Mr. MacLearn said. “A third-party audit on the system has never been done. We

Sep 28, 1926 – Mar 31, 2022

Barbara, and her twin sister Christine, were born in Leicester, England, in September 1926 and moved to the picturesque, 11th-century cathedral city of Norwich when they were 10 yrs old. A family holiday at the seaside was the highlight of each year until WWII began in 1939. For the next 6 years, the beaches were closed: mined and barbwired for fear the Nazis would cross the 25-mile Channel that separated England from Continental Europe. It was RQ KHU WK ELUWKGD\ WKDW %DUEDUD ZDV ÀWWHG IRU KHU government-issued gas mask, for Norwich lay only 20 miles from the eastern coast of England. During the war, wanting to help where she could, Barbara volunteered 150 hours for the American Red Cross in Norwich. Professionally, she worked as a legal secretary – doing so well that her employer wanted her to go to law school. Those plans changed, however, one frosty, foggy night in December 1944. Cycling 5 miles on her bicycle through the fog and dark (England was under strict black out rules and there was no petrol for civilian cars), she attended a friend’s Christmas party. Two American Army Air Corps pilots arrived late, but just in time for dessert. One of the pilots, Ben Walsh, took especial notice of the attractive brunette sitting on the piano bench, both because she was pretty and because she had a piece of the rare and now-unavailable chocolate cake! He proceeded to ask if she would share her piece of cake with him. She thought that was quite impertinent, but she politely acquiesced. That piece of cake led to a 5month courtship, and marriage on June 1, 1945. (They continued to share cake for the next 64 years!) $OWKRXJK WKH ZDU KDG HQGHG LQ (XURSH %HQ YROXQWHHUHG WR FRQWLQXH Á\LQJ PLVVLRQV LQ WKH 3DFLÀF FDPSDLJQ +H ZDQWHG KRZHYHU WR PDNH VXUH %DUEDUD UHDFKHG WKH 86 EHIRUH he left England.

Her husband was not with her; she was all alone, but not scared. It felt like a great adventure. Her cabin mate was the Danish wife of the famous war correspondent Howard K. Smith (later anchor of the ABC Evening News). One of the best stories is of Barbara’s arrival in New York City on August 4, after an 11-day Atlantic crossing. Once disembarked, Barbara got into a cab and asked for the name of a hotel Ben had given her. The New York cabbie asked if she had a reservation and she replied no.

The neon lights, the bright colored cars, the fresh fruit stands, it was all a magical fairy land for her after 6 wartime years of rations and black-out in England. The next day she boarded a train to Iowa, where she would meet and stay with her kind, new in-laws until the war was completely over. The war years had made young people mature very quickly. In 1947, after a brief assignment in Washington, DC, Ben and Barbara were selected to serve as diplomats for 3 years at the American Embassy in Stockholm, Sweden. Barbara was not yet 21 years old, Ben not yet 28. There, Barbara organized and hosted elegant diplomatic dinners in their home, managed a team of household help, and became a mother for the VHFRQG WLPH 6KH DOVR EHFDPH D WHUULÀF QDYLJDWRU QDYLJDWLQJ IRU %HQ ZKHQ KH ÁHZ WKH Embassy’s DC-3 aircraft throughout Sweden and Europe.

The family moved 9 times during Ben’s Air Force career. Ben was the ultimate Provider, and Barbara was the Nurturer. Forgetting her plan to become a lawyer, Barbara devoted her entire life to her family: supporting Ben’s Air Force career, her two children, and three grandchildren. They were the center of her universe. It was she who made each new house a warm and beautiful home, and she planted roses in each garden, whether it was in Sweden, Virginia, Texas, France, or Belgium. Barbara’s activities were typically oriented towards the well-being of others. When Ben was the Commander of a B-47 Wing in Abilene, Texas, she, as wife of the Commander, was responsible for comforting the wife and family of pilots who died in the crash of their aircraft. She served as Co-leader of her daughter’s Girl Scout troop, enjoyed serving on the Altar and Flower Guilds at All Saints-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church, the Women’s Board of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, and teaching friends to knit. She was a gifted knitter and she made beautiful sweaters for every member of her family.

She also loved organizing frequent, gracious dinner parties, especially during the diplomatic years in Sweden, the NATO years in France and Belgium, and for the past 51 years, here at home in Santa Barbara. Barbara rarely spent much time indulging in pleasures solely for herself, but she did have a lifelong love of playing tennis, and painting in both oils and watercolors. (Painting and gardening were talents she inherited from her English father.) She enjoyed her ERRN FOXEV HQMR\LQJ ELRJUDSKLHV DQG QRQ ÀFWLRQ JDUGHQ FOXEV WKH <DFKW &OXE RSHUD photography, traveling to new countries, and researching cultural and recreational activities for the family’s 6-week summer trips to France (for 16 consecutive years!). Although she loved traveling and discovering new cultures, she always loved coming home to Santa Barbara. She never tired of looking out from her home at the view of the Channel and the islands – constantly remarking on the play of the sunlight on the water and the beauty of the sunsets. Barbara left this world on March 31 and is now reunited with Ben; her parents Gladys and Frederick Eales of Norwich, England; her twin sister Christine Roxfelt of Stockholm, Sweden; her son Michael of Bellevue, Washington; and her dearest girlfriend Allayne Novak of Alexandria, Virginia. Should anyone wish to make a donation in Barbara’s memory, it could be sent to All Saints-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church (allsaintsbythesea.org), or Assisted Hospice Care of Santa Barbara (www.AssistedCares.com).

need to do more than 1% manual tabulation (manual counting).” “If we really want to ensure the accuracy of the voting system, let’s do 100% manual tabulation for an election or two. I don’t think honesty has a price tag to it. The office has a $22 million budget,” said Mr. MacLearn. He explained that a 100% manual tabulation is not a longterm solution and it is not feasible in the long run, but he believes that it is worth the cost for one or two elections to restore public trust in the election process. “I am about restoring the public’s trust. I am a big supporter of technology and doing things more efficiently,” said Mr MacLearn. The News-Press asked Mr. MacLearn how he felt about mailin ballots. “It doesn’t matter how I feel because it’s state law. It gets more people involved because the ballot is brought to their doorstep,” Mr. MacLearn said. “There was over 80% voter turnout in the 2020 general election. “Negatively, it is a lot less secure. There are various points that could be exploited by people with ill intent,” said Mr. MacLearn. Mr. MacLearn discussed how he would serve in the assessor part of the office: “I would assess property value as low as legally possible. I want the mentality to be we want to ensure the lowest property tax possible,” he said. “One thing I can change is to make the property records freely accessible to the public. You currently have to pay to access records and it should be free. It builds trust and transparency,” said Mr. MacLearn. To learn more, visit the candidate’s website: elrawd.com/ meet-elrawd.
