fires in total Thursday night, and officials believe the Loma Fire was an act of arson.

Mr. Hernandez was booked in the Santa Barbara County Jail on suspicion of: arson of an inhabited dwelling (vegetation fire caused damage to a structure), five counts of general arson, being under the influence of a controlled substance and possession of narcotics. He was being held on $2 million bail.

As of 6 p.m. Friday, the fire was considered 80% contained having charred an estimated 10 acres. Loma Alta Drive remained closed all day Friday. Fire crews remained on scene and officials warned that “revivals of the fire,” may be seen but were being monitored closely.

Santa Barbara Police reported that around 8:55 p.m. Thursday, numerous 9-1-1 calls came in

Santa Barbara Police investigators arrested a suspected arsonist around midnight Friday morning between Loma Alta Drive and West Ortega Street following a wind-driven, fastmoving vegetation fire on the Mesa that was visible around much of the city.

Victor Hernandez, 23, of Santa Barbara, was arrested on scene on suspicion of being under the influence of a controlled substance and taken into custody while the fire investigation continued, according to a report from the Santa Barbara Police Department.

Following an interview by police detectives and fire investigators, it was determined that there were five separate

By MITCHELL WHITE Former Santa Barbara Mayor Hal Conklin died Friday after a battle with brain cancer. He was 75.

Mr. Conklin served on the Santa Barbara City Council from 1977 to 1993 and as the city’s mayor for a little over a year in 1993. Held in high regard for his stewardship in helping the city become an international, cultural destination, he was forced to step down after following a court ruling that upheld a new term-limit law preventing anyone from serving more than four consecutive terms.

He ran for mayor of Santa Barbara again in 2017 against current Mayor Cathy Murillo.

Mr. Conklin was reportedly diagnosed with brain cancer in September 2020 and underwent immediate brain surgery to remove tumors. He recently entered hospice at Serenity House.

He was known for his love of the arts and theater, and helped raise millions of dollars in support of the restoration of the Granada Theatre. Mr. Conklin also was a pillar in the city’s 1st Thursday celebration, as well as the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, among others.

He earned his bachelor’s degree in social psychology from UC Berkeley in 1972. While he intended to work with poor children in Oakland, he ultimately decided to move to Santa Barbara and served as co-director of the Community Environmental

Council for its first 10 years.

He arrived in Santa Barbara as a 22-year-old to visit a cousin who lived locally just days before the 1969 oil spill.

“I was still in school, so I had to go back to the Bay Area,” Mr. Conklin told the News-Press in a 2019 interview that outlined the memories and impact of the then50-year-old spill. “When I came back, that’s when I realized how big the spill was.

“It became clear within the year that this was a turning point (for the environment),” he said, adding that local beaches were closed for two years during the cleanup.

He was part of the early efforts toward a recycling program and worked to redefine Stearns Wharf. The pier had been used as a launching point for oil companies with offshore platforms, but after the 1969 spill, the wharf’s future was uncertain.

While campaigning for a spot on the city council, Mr. Conklin worked to make the city’s pier a tourist site.

In 1981, Stearns Wharf reopened as a destination point where tourists could see the Pacific Ocean and enjoy dining and shopping. Mr. Conklin said a 1983 Coastal Commission study showed that the wharf was making more money than San Francisco’s famous Pier 39.

During his time on the city council, Mr. Conklin worked on managing and limiting population growth, planning the waterfront and preserving farmland in the Goleta Valley.

tremendous contributions,” she said. “I was on Stearns Wharf a couple of weeks ago and happened upon a plaque that memorialized Hal’s work rebuilding the wharf and making it a place for locals and victors. His family has so much to be proud of related to his public service.”

Rep. Salud Carbajal issued a statement Friday, describing Mr. Conklin as a “trail blazer who transcended partisan politics.”

“He was a mentor to many, including myself, and will be dearly missed by a grateful community for his public service, environmentalism, and advocacy.

My thoughts are with his family and loved ones as they grieve,” he said.

Details on a memorial service were pending. email: mwhite@newspress.com

Resiliency was the resounding theme at this year’s Allan Hancock College commencement ceremony, where 500 graduates in the college’s centennial class celebrated their achievements during a drive-through celebration Friday.

A vehicle procession of students and family members made its way through Allan Hancock’s campus in Santa Maria during two ceremonies at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Graduates exited their vehicles to receive their diploma on an outdoor stage and snap a photo with Superintendent and President

Dr. Kevin G. Walthers before returning to their car.

As each graduate’s name was announced, muted cheers and horns honking could be heard from afar.

After an unprecedented year for college students around the world, Allan Hancock’s commencement speakers praised the Class of 2021 for rising to the occasion and excelling in their studies during unpredictable times. All of this year’s speeches were prerecorded and could be viewed through the commencement livestream on the school’s website and social media pages.

In recent years, Mr. Conklin took part in several forums and conversations on how to revitalize the downtown corridor. He took part in a 2018 forum led by the World Business Academy and recommended implementing more kid-friendly activities, such as a kid’s tour at the MOXI Museum or a kid’s night downtown.

Mr. Conklin also served as the founder and president of USA Green Communities. In addition, he was president of the California League of Cities and vice president of the National League of Cities. He served on the board of directors for the Institute of Local Government and was one of the founders of its Beacon Program, which sets sustainability standards for local governments in the state.

In 2014, Mr. Conklin received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the League of California Cities.

According to a News-Press story from 2014 on the honor, Mr. Conklin said he planned to stay in Santa Barbara for just one year, but never left. Nonetheless, he certainly made his mark on the city.

Ms. Murillo told the NewsPress that she has requested that the flag at City Hall be lowered to half-staff on Monday and the council would adjourn Tuesday’s meeting in his honor.

Goleta praises residents’ strength State of the City highlights balanced budget, vaccine efforts

The Buyers were represented by

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK

KEITH C. BERRY

At Goleta’s State of the City event Friday morning, city leadership reflected on Goleta’s pandemic response and looked ahead to the city’s future with optimism.

The event was still held virtually as it was last year, but the Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce announced that after Santa Barbara’s State of the City next month, the State of the County will be the first held in person in July.

“Yes, families have lost loved ones, livelihoods have been significantly affected and best laid plans have been delayed.

Still, I am humbled by the efforts of so many to overcome this unexpected threat,” Goleta Mayor Paula Perotte said during the event.

The mayor said that “things are looking up,” with businesses, restaurants and schools reopening, allowing many to return to work. She pointed out some of the key accomplishments by city staff throughout the year of the pandemic, including drafting a Creek and Watershed Management Plan, completing park renovations and initiating diversity, inclusion and equity efforts. She also reflected on some of the largest capital improvement projects in Goleta history starting or already completed in 2020 and 2021, including the Old Town Sidewalk Improvement Project, the Hollister Avenue Old Town Interim Striping Project and the San Jose Creek channel repairs, among others.

Michelle Greene, Goleta’s city manager, provided an update on budgeting and finances at the State of the City. She shared that the city’s revenue dropped 21%, with the sales tax revenue losses nearing $1 million and the hotel tax shortfall nearing $8.4 million.

But, the revised budget is balanced, she said. Revisions to the budget included a $5.9 million revenue reduction, $6.8 million in spending cuts and project deferrals, a temporary hiring freeze that reduced the workforce by 12% and the one-

time use of more than $3.1 million in reserves. Currently, Goleta has a contingency reserve of $8.5 million, and the unassigned fund balance in the city’s general fund sits at $10.7 million.

Property taxes did not decline, and are actually projected to increase by 1.7% for a total of $8 million in the next year or so, according to Ms. Greene. Sales tax revenues are projected to increase by 15% for a total of $7.3 million.

Goleta’s hotel occupancy saw an 80% drop from 2019, resulting in 17% occupancy in April of 2020, and the total transient occupancy tax received in Fiscal Year 201920 was $9.2 million — a 20% decrease from the previous fiscal year. The current fiscal year has seen a 54% occupancy rate, but it is expected to reach the annual average of 60% occupancy by next month.

The city’s unemployment rate in April of 2020 was at 11.3%, but as of March 2021, that number had decreased significantly to 3.9% The city manager also listed the Goleta’s unfunded priorities moving forward — deferred facilities and pavement maintenance and implementation of the homelessness strategic plan and the Creeks and Watershed Management Plan, among others.

“We face challenges in keeping up with the city’s aging infrastructure,” Ms. Greene said.

“The city will struggle to keep up with the needs of the community.”

Donna Lewis, the Goleta Unified School District’s superintendent, shared that the district completed more than 20 rounds of COVID surveillance testing, and more than 88% of its employees are vaccinated. It received $1.9 million in COVID relief funding from the federal and state government, and used it to purchase PPP, air purifiers, cleaning supplies and hire staff.

She also mentioned that as the students faced remote learning, “access to technology became crucial,” so the school district provided more than 3,100 new and repurposed chromebooks to students and staff.

“Our students consistently achieve at higher levels than

students from similar racial and ethnic backgrounds, and from families of similar socioeconomic levels,” Ms. Lewis said. “We are proud of the academic achievement of all students at GUSD.” Mark Linehan, president and CEO of the Wynmark Company, provided a business outlook for State of the City viewers, sharing that a large portion of Goleta’s unemployment came from lowerpaying jobs.

“The restaurant community, bars and entertainment have just been truly devastated,” he said. “We find today that, as we approach a bit of a recovery, those companies are struggling to find labor to come back and be available and allow their business to succeed.”

He referenced the Camino Real Marketplace for example, saying that many are dealing with the uncertainty of the continual closing and reopening of businesses. This uncertainty has led to many of these employees seeking a different direction.

Dr. Lynn Fitzgibbons, an infectious disease specialist at Cottage Health, made mention of the fact that in Santa Barbara County, hospitals were able to retain Intensive Care Unit capacity at all locations, although it “certainly did decrease.” She provided statistics on cases for Goleta, Isla Vista and the unincorporated areas of the

Just 11 days after emergency vaccine approval from the Food and Drug Administration expanded vaccine eligibility, 15% of all 12 to 15 year olds in Santa Barbara County are partially vaccinated, according to Public Health data released Friday.

Dr. Van Do-Reynoso, the county’s public health director, praised this accomplishment during a news briefing Friday, calling it a “great achievement.”

“We are very excited that 15% have received their first dose and we look forward to more joining this group,” Dr. Do-Reynoso said.

Just a few weeks ago, the Public Health Department voiced concerns about a vaccine slowdown, and moved to increase the number of walk-up clinics to encourage more people to get their vaccine appointment-free.

But now, with 12 to 15 year olds eligible for a shot, Dr. Do-Reynoso said the county’s vaccination rate is increasing once again.

As of Friday, roughly 61% of the county’s eligible population has received at least one shot, and more than 49% of those eligible are fully vaccinated. With numerous areas across the nation offering vaccine incentives, such as lottery prizes or sports tickets, Dr. Do-Reynoso said the county is currently in discussion with its partners about what kind of incentives could be offered for vaccinated Santa Barbara County residents in the coming weeks.

Earlier this week, California reached a milestone in the vaccination effort, with state officials announcing that twothirds of adult residents have received at least one shot of the vaccine. It’s because of this high rate of vaccination that deaths, hospitalizations and case rates have plummeted in recent weeks, Dr. Henning Ansorg, the county’s public information officer, said Friday.

“This is the light at the end of the tunnel we have all been waiting for,” Dr. Ansorg said.

The county’s case rate has been steadily decreasing over the past week, and if the county

As of Friday, roughly 61% of the county’s eligible population has received at least one shot, and more than 49% of those eligible are fully vaccinated. can maintain an average of less than nine new cases per day, the region is likely to meet the criteria for the first week of yellow tier qualification this Tuesday.

The county must meet the criteria for two weeks before officially moving into the yellow tier. Until then, the county will remain in the orange tier of COVID-19 restrictions.

Once the county moves into the yellow tier, places of worship, movie theaters, gyms and hotels can open at 50% capacity. Restaurants and wineries can also expand their capacity to 50% indoors in the yellow tier, while bars can open to a max of 25% capacity.

The Public Health Department reported 12 new cases of COVID19 on Friday and no new deaths.

There are 54 cases across the county that are still infectious.

Santa Maria reported five new cases on Friday, and the unincorporated Goleta Valley and Gaviota reported three new cases. Santa Barbara and the unincorporated Mission Canyon reported two new cases, and both Isla Vista and Lompoc reported one new case. All As of Friday, 15 patients were recovering from COVID-19 in the hospital, including three who were recovering in the Intensive Care Unit. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

Goleta Valley, which show that over the last two months that cases are decreasing, with the case numbers “greatly improving” over the past two weeks, in particular.

The infectious disease specialist concluded that Goleta is experiencing mproving case rates, rising vaccine rates and health systems that have been strengthened from the pandemic.

Arie Dejong, the vice president of Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital, reported to viewers that Cottage Health administered 94,271 COVID-19 vaccines as of May 11.

Dr. Robin Malone of Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital pointed out that the vaccine clinic there is now administering 2,000 doses a day.

“So, what is the state of our city?” Mayor Perotte asked. “If we measure only by the traditional yard sticks, we might judge the state of our city to be lacking the health and finances of many local businesses. Families have been impacted, our children have lost some valuable learning and socialization time and many lives were disrupted.

“I emphatically repeat that the state of our city is strong because of how our most important resource — our people — reacted to the pandemic. We have been challenged and have emerged stronger than ever.”

Local residents and passersby watch the Loma Fire from Coronel Place on the Westside on Thursday.

KENNETH SONG / NEWS-PRESS PHOTOS

Fire began at two-story structure in 600 block of West Ortega Street FIRE

Continued from Page A1 which he said was “kind of exciting to do.”

“Honestly, it was the biggest vegetation fire in town since the Thomas Fire, really,” he told the News-Press.

Multiple off-duty city police officers were called to assist with evacuations. According to Sgt. Robert Minter, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office also sent a large contingent of search and rescue personnel to assist with evacuations. Ten deputies responded to the command post, and hundreds of residents in the area were evacuated.

Fire Engineer Corbett said one of the biggest challenges was the terrain, namely the steepness of the hill.

“It was very slippery,” he said.

“Once it gets wet, there’s nothing to hold you — you’re just slipping and sliding, so it’s very difficult to maintain your footing.”

Around midnight Friday, city fire investigators said they “noticed a suspicious subject scrambling down the lower portion of the hill and hiding in the brush” between Loma Alta Drive and West Ortega Street.

The suspect was later identified as Mr. Hernandez, authorities said.

Police detectives and fire investigators established a timeline that put Mr. Hernandez at the scene of the fire.

Joyce Dudley, the Santa Barbara County district attorney, was unable to comment on the Loma Fire investigation, which is continuing. On Friday afternoon, Ms. Dudley said Mr. Hernandez could be facing a misdemeanor or a felony.

“Arson is like any other crime — the sentences would be dependent upon the circumstances, the extent of the injuries to persons or property and the arsonist’s prior record,” she told the News-Press.

Ms. Dudley said she has prosecuted all sorts of arson cases. She has prosecuted an arsonist for murder who’s still serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole, and she placed a juvenile in a restorative justice program with no jail time.

It is unclear if Mr. Hernandez had any prior criminal charges.

SALE! Santa Barbara County Search and Rescue personnel went door to door in the Lower Westside neighborhood to advise residents of mandatory evacuation orders while a brush fire burned up a portion of the hillside of TV Hill.

The Loma Fire began as a twostory structure fire in the 600 block of West Ortega Street, and it climbed up TV Hill. No injuries were reported, and two structures on the Westside were damaged, but not destroyed. Evacuation orders were lifted by 12:30 a.m.

Friday morning.

While the investigation into the cause of the fire is still ongoing, high winds, warm temperatures and severe drought status in Santa Barbara provided the perfect storm for the Loma Fire.

Ryan Kittell, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Oxnard, told the News-Press that the winds experienced by the city this past week have “definitely peaked.”

“We still are going to have the sundowner winds, but not as strong as we had Tuesday through Thursday,” he said.

May and June are both peak sundowner wind months, but Mr. Kittell said the wind gusts will be fairly typical in the near future, ranging at 30 mph as opposed to the 50 mph winds ripping through Santa Barbara in recent days.

The meteorologist said the southern part of Santa Barbara can expect clear skies over the weekend and into next week, while the central and northern areas will likely see a marine

layer.

Weekend highs sit at around 70 degrees, with temperatures expected to increase early next week.

And, as expected, the region is not expecting any rain, “unless we get a random thunderstorm during monsoon season, which we can’t really count on,” according to Mr. Kittell.

The severe drought is highlighted in the rainfall amount recorded at the Santa Barbara Municipal Airport. So far, the airport has had 5.8 inches of rain, and at this time, levels are typically around 14 inches.

“Boaters in the area are still seeing very strong winds and really large swells,” Mr. Kittell added. “But we’re expecting that to improve over the weekend.”

Engineer Corbett said he was grateful for the collaboration from all over the county, which also included crews from the Ventura County Fire Department.

“I personally was proud to be there and be amongst my fellow firefighters,” he said. “We were very fortunate to have the mutual aid we had … It felt good to be protecting our own community.”

A ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas went into effect early Friday after 11 days of violence that left more than 250 people dead and over a thousand injured.

Weeks of rising tensions between Israelis and Palestinians came to a head May 10 when militants from Hamas aimed rockets at Jerusalem. The airstrikes came after Israeli police clashed with worshippers at

the al-Aqsa Mosque multiple times between May 8 and May 10.

Thousands of rockets were fired between Israeli and Hamas forces during the 11-day fight. The violence destroyed Hamas’ extensive tunnel system underneath Gaza, which militants used to transport ammunition and missiles, and destroyed 16,800 homes, according to Gaza officials.

At least 243 civilian people were killed in Gaza, 100 of which were women and children, according to Gaza’s health ministry. In Israel, 12 people, including two children,

KOSTER, Ken

Ken Koster passed away in his home surrounded by family on Tuesday, May 18th at 11:00 pm. Born in Munich, Germany on January 19th, 1964 and moved to Santa Barbara, California when is was 2 years old, he was a true Santa Barbarian.

Ken attended and graduated from Santa Barbara High School in 1982, and received his AA after. In 1984 he moved to Oahu, Hawaii and worked in event planning. Soon after he returned to Santa Barbara to start his grassroots tree company, Quality Tree Care. In 1992, Ken married his wife Sue and together they grew the company. Being the 3rd oldest licensed tree company in Santa Barbara, they ultimately bough a 4-acre tropical nursery together which has been home to their family and Quality Tree Care for the past 21 years. There he focused on cultivating rare tropicals and palm trees, always making sure that his nursery was ever growing. Ken’s creativity led him to diversify his business to include full service landscaping. He was very well respected by the community for his love and knowledge of trees. Now 38 years in the business Ken’s vision of being able to pass his legacy down to his family has come true. For the past 18 years Ken had been mentoring his daughter Amanda, teaching her all aspects of the tree business. Taking these experiences with her, she now manages the tree division, while Ken managed the landscape division. Ken received the “Santa Barbara Beautiful Award” in 2019 for his outstanding landscape achievements. In 2020, Quality Tree Care was truly made into a family owned and operated business when his daughter Zoey and son Ethan joined the team. Lead by Ken’s unstoppable ambition, they run the company together today.

Ken was a bright man with a huge heart. Nick-named “Boo,” he loved his amazing wife Sue, three children Amanda (34), Zoey (28), Ethan (23), his son-in-law Mitch (32) and beautiful granddaughter Frances Penelope (2), who was named after his mother Penny.

He is also survived by his father Paul Koster, stepmother, Janine, and brothers Keith and Jason. Ken loved rock climbing, motocross, skiing, outrigger canoeing, his many friends and tending to his nursery. Ken’s spirit lives on in the trees and ground beneath our feet, and he will be forever missed.

Please join us in celebrating Ken’s life on the following days at Welch-Ryce-Haider Chapel on 450 Ward Memorial Dr., Goleta, CA 93111.

Visitation: Sunday, May 23, 2021, 11am - 5pm.

Memorial Service: Monday, May 24, 2021, 11am with celebration to follow at 2 El Camino Ratel, Goleta, CA 93117

August 21, 1924 - April 9, 2021

Jeanne was born in New Brunswick, New Jersey on August 21, 1924 to Italian immigrant Joseph Mangin (Mangini) and his wife Marjorie. Jeanne lived to be 96 years old. She passed away on April 9, 2021 after suffering a fall. Jeanne was a wife, mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother, sister, aunt, friend, and a longtime resident of Santa Barbara.

Her family came to Southern California when Jeanne was a very young child. Jeanne and her younger brother “Bud” grew up in Inglewood. Jeanne initially moved to Santa Barbara in the 1940s with her mother to go to college. During this time, she met a young soldier, Harry Gunderson, fell in love, and got married. While her husband was away at war, Jeanne lived with his family in the Midwest. When World War II ended, the couple settled in North Hollywood and Pasadena before making a permanent move to Santa Barbara in 1963. Jeanne re-enrolled at University of California Santa Barbara, and completed the teaching degree she had started years earlier. Jeanne taught at Monroe Elementary School until she retired in 1980. She enjoyed teaching and stayed in touch with several former students through the years.

She was a world traveler. She took great pride in living on a modest budget to save for trips across the globe. In all, she visited 68 countries and loved to share her travel tips with others. In her later years, she enjoyed travel clubs and delighted in many local trips. One of her all-time favorite places was Catalina Island.

Jeanne was a lifelong fan of Dodgers baseball and enjoyed watching the Dodgers and Angels. She knew the players by name and followed their standings. Jeanne also enjoyed genealogy and belonged to the Santa Barbara County Genealogical Society.

Jeanne was a devoted wife to her husband Harry Gunderson (1945-1966). Following his sudden death, Jeanne married Seth Warden (1967-2005). Six years after Seth’s passing, Jeanne fell in love again, and married widower George E. Goodall at the age of 87. They enjoyed 9 years of marriage until George’s passing in June 2020.

Jeanne is survived by her brother, Joseph “Bud” Mangin, her stepchildren Cynthia (Glenn) Rosenthal, Michael (Mary) Warden, Lynda (Charles) Franco, and Stephen (Jane) Goodall, nephews Joseph “Joe” (Sandy) Mangin, Jr., James “Jim” (Deana) Mangin, niece Nancy Jeanne (Steve) Kimball, great-nephews Weston, Danny, Scott and great-nieces Claire and Sable. She was “Grand-Jeanne” to 13 grandchildren, 11 greatgrandchildren (plus one on the way).

A private celebration of Jeanne’s life is being planned by the family. Contributions in memory of Jeanne can be made to the First Presbyterian Church, 21 E. Constance Avenue, Santa Barbara, CA, 93105.

who earned more than 2,700 degrees. Veterans, DREAMers, first-generation college students and essential workers were all represented in this year’s graduating class.

During his commencement speech, Dr. Walthers praised graduates for their accomplishments and expressed confidence that the class of 2021 is “poised for greatness.”

“For every graduate in 2021, all 1,400 of them, there are multiple stories of hard work, sacrifice, turmoil and probably some times of panic,” Dr. Walthers said. “Our student leaders have set a high bar for those who follow them, but they have also paved the way for a new set of leaders who are ready to make a positive impact on our community.”

“This may be the end of your journey at Hancock, but the ending is just the beginning of a new adventure,” he added. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

ORTON, John Gragg “Chipper”

John Gragg “Chipper” Orton passed away surrounded by his family on May 14, 2021 at the age of 76. He was born on January 24, 1945 in Santa Barbara. He attended Santa Ynez Valley Union High School and later California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, CA where he majored in animal sciences. After college, he was drafted into the United States Army and served in the Vietnam War as a Green Beret in the 82nd Airborne Division. Following in his father’s footsteps, he was a dedicated member of The Rancheros Visitadores for over 50 years and it helped fuel his love of horses, roping, and westerns. He was a loving husband to wife, Carol Orton, née Nielsen, and together they raised their four children on a 3,500-acre cattle ranch called the Bar-Go. Later, they sold the Bar-Go and purchased a smaller property on Ballard Canyon Rd. Chipper was a hands-on parent and grandparent and could often be seen barbecuing at various school fundraisers and was even the president of the SYVUHS school board for many years. With his children and grandchildren, he shared his love of movies, photography, traveling, cooking, and reading. He was as extroverted as they come, and it became a running joke within his family that they couldn’t go anywhere with him without seeing at least one person he knew. He played a signiÀcant role in the lives of everyone who knew him, and he will be missed terribly. He is survived by his wife Carol, children Joelle Orton-Cartnal (Ryan), Matthew Orton (Lourdes), (lizabeth Casberg (Trent), and Sasha Darnell (Brian), his Àve grandchildren Chlos and Lane Orton Cartnal, Caroline Casberg, and Finn and Sebastian Darnell, brotherin-law Gordon Nielsen (Susan), and half siblings Bill Kennedy (Arlene), Alice Kennedy, and many nieces and nephews. The family would like to give special thanks to Dr. Gus Dascanio, Lidia Martinez, and Visiting Nurses for taking such good care of Chipper. In lieu of Áowers, it is reTuested that donations be sent to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society or the Make-A-Wish Foundation in honor of his oldest granddaughter, Chlos.

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

‘A

few of us would just cry about it every day and had a hard time sleeping.

We were thinking about her all the time,” said Neda DeMayo, recalling the two-week desperate search for Freya, a burro who had come to live at Return to Freedom, a sanctuary for wild horses and burros in Lompoc.

“I think she was an orphan foal who wanted to be near people.

It was painful to think of her stuck or lost out there somewhere on her own,” said Ms. DeMayo, founder and president of RTF. “Freya had a rough start in life,” Ms. DeMayo continued. “Her mom rejected her when she was a foal. So a loving family adopted her, and she was bottle-fed. Her socialization was unique to other burros.

“She had no experience with them. She was more connected to humans. And in particular to the one that bottle-fed her with whom she was most attached and possessive.

“It became an issue. This is not uncommon with orphan foals, and unless someone has experience with this, these foals can become very problematic as they are not socialized properly. That is when it was time for Freya to leave her semi-urban environment in the canyons of Los Angeles and come to Lompoc to live like a burro in June 2019.”

The adjustment was not easy for Freya, who didn’t play well with others because she didn’t know how.

“First, we introduced her to Jasper, a burro who also prefers humans and horses to living with the burro herd. Although Freya seemed eager to be with Jasper, he wanted nothing to do with her,” said Ms. DeMayo. “We then introduced her to the burro herd of 25 living in the approximately 100-acre oak forest. The herd tolerated her odd ways and the fact she always had to be first for the hay, braying and pushing them out of her way. They seemed to accept her as she was.

“For humans, she was a kick — literally. One minute, she played the coquette, wanting to be stroked. The next, she was crotchety and kicking. Yet somehow, she managed to endear herself to everyone.

“She was always getting into a predicament or chasing someone or something. Once, she slipped down a hole but let it be known straight away with her braying.

RTF staff heard her, helped her out, and all was OK. Perhaps that was a foreshadow for what happened when she went missing March 21.”

One day, Freya did not show up to meet the feed truck. Usually, she was first in line, but now, she was nowhere in sight. The next day, the same thing. Panic struck. Quickly, everyone went into action, beginning a search of tracking, diving into ravines and

thick brush.

Where could she have gone?

Despite the terror, there were no vultures in the sky, an indicator a carcass was not on the ground, and there were no signs of mountain lions having dragged her. The search was constant and extended beyond the team at RTF. Neighbors were looking, too.

“Every day, there were one to three people searching, six to 10 hours a day,” Ms. DeMayo said.

“Fence lines were repeatedly checked, and ravines followed through thick brush. RTF ranch hand Raul Carlos, once a tracker in the Army, gave us hope when he found what he believed to be her tracks and followed them through what seemed an impossible brush for her to get through and over to the neighboring ranch’s water trough … But where was she?”

They were about to finally give up after a wrenching two weeks, but as mysteriously as she disappeared, Freya returned on April 5. One morning, she was back with the herd but different.

“She was not braying and running to the feed truck. She was disoriented, dehydrated, shocked and had body trauma.

She could not move her tail, and fur was missing. She was severely Please see FREYA on B2

‘Butterflies Alive!’ exhibit to open at Santa Barbara museum

At left, the white peacock is among the species at the “Butterflies Alive!” exhibit at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. Center, this Gulf fritillary butterfly is part of the exhibit. At right, the exhibit’s species include the Eastern giant swallowtail.

Featuring 1,000 live butterflies, the summer exhibit “Butterflies Alive!” will open May 29 in the Sprague Butterfly Pavilion at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History and continue through Sept. 6.

The museum’s indoor and outdoor exhibits are open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday to Sunday.

Reservations are required for admission at sbnature.org/ticket.

The exhibit features a variety of butterflies, from local favorites like the Monarch to exotic varieties such as swallowtails, longwings, Gulf Fritillaries and Malachites. Various butterfly species cycle through the pavilion throughout the summer, so no two visits are the same.

Guests can see pavilion-bound butterflies emerge from their chrysalides in the Santa Barbara Gallery’s emergence chamber. Those interested in more behind-the-scene

peeks can check out the video series that followed last year’s butterflies from pupae to pavilion.

The full series hosted by Kim Zsembik, Butterfly Pavilion senior manager, is available at sbnature. org/magic-window and features, in addition to close-up views of every stage of the butterfly life cycle, guest appearances by the museum’s entomologist and a Q&A with Ms. Zsembik.

Face masks are currently required for anyone 3 or older who must cover their nose and mouth at all times while on museum property indoors and outdoors. email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

One of the worse things that can happen to a family is if their pet gets lost. In this episode Dog Days Search and Rescue reveals how they have helped families find their lost, beloved pets. We follow the story of a pet pooch that got lost in Malibu and how he managed to avoid threats like bobcats, traffic and surviving in the wild for three days. Laura Stinchfield, “The Pet Psychic”, talks with the dog to find out what happened during those days.

impacted and could not urinate or defecate on her own,” Ms. DeMayo said.

Two weeks of intensive care began, first by Dr. Chris Pankau of Inland Equine Medical Center in Los Olivos, who saved her life, and then at Alamo Pintado Equine Medical Center, a full-scale, state-ofthe-art facility, under the loving and expert care of internist Dr. Christina Lopez and her team.

Although this feisty burro showed every sign of fighting her way back, her future was still very precarious, according to Ms. DeMayo.

“An older burro most likely would not have survived, but 6-year-old Freya had youth on her side, so we remained optimistic,” Dr. DeMayo said.

“Dr. Lopez said Freya loved her sessions in the hyperbaric chamber but was not at all behaving for acupuncture treatments (to help with her nerve trauma). Her infections were healed; the IV drip came off; her bladder catheter was removed, and Freya was starting to function on her own.”

Because there is an on-site veterinarian at the sanctuary, Dr. Nicole Eller, who could keep a close eye on Freya’s recovery, feeding and providing emergency treatment if she would become impacted again, the burro was released to return home.

“Freya seemed to perk up each time someone whose voice she recognized came to see her, so we made sure she was visited every day by someone she recognized, and Facetime visits were often scheduled with the family who first rescued this orphaned little burro,” said Ms. DeMayo. “Lisa Brown, a horse trainer and wrangler for Hollywood films and a longtime supporter of Return to Freedom who brought Freya to RTF originally, traveled from Ojai every few days to visit Freya in the hospital.

“Since Freya’s return, we have seen a new younger male mountain lion. It appears he is staking out his territory. He could have been on her trail.

Perhaps she strayed from the herd and was on the run, eventually getting caught up in some of the heavy brush, finally escaping to neighboring rolling hills. We can’t be sure, but we assume that all the searching and tracking helped her find her way back.

“Freya’s story is surely unique in our 22-year history, except in one regard: It is emblematic of the devotion and quality care Return to Freedom gives all of the animals at the sanctuary.” email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

Diversions horoscope • puzzles

ARIES — If every day were like today, life would be heaven, Aries! This is potentially a wonderful time for you. You may find the answers to problems that have been bothering you for a few weeks. Keep your eyes and ears open in all conversations.

You could come across the piece you’ve been waiting for.

TAURUS — Taurus, you don’t have to be at everyone’s beck and call all the time. This is exhausting, and you lose contact with yourself. You should try to take some time out today. Take a good look at your life to see where you’re going. Go for a walk or take a long bubble bath.

Things will be much clearer after a relaxing day of reflection.

GEMINI — Is it possible you’re too demanding, Gemini? Today’s planetary aspects may be asking you this question. You’re choosy about the people you spend time with, and you have a tendency to ask them to go too far for you.

Sometimes you have trouble knowing your limits where other people are concerned. You might want to think about this.

CANCER — Today’s a day to daydream, although this may not be an activity you usually do.

You may even feel as if you’re on vacation. Let’s just hope people don’t ask you a lot of difficult questions, because your answers will be anything but clear. But you shouldn’t have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders every day, Cancer.

LEO — If you have someone special in your life, Leo, today is a perfect day to stop playing at being your partner’s parent, as you sometimes seem to do.

Reverse roles, and let other people take care of you. The world won’t fall apart if you let go for a while. No matter what happens, a day like today should open your eyes.

VIRGO — You won’t be able to fix your indecisiveness, Virgo.

You just need to give yourself some time. The direction your life is taking isn’t clear at the moment. There are great changes going on inside you. So, even though it may sound like strange advice, don’t do a thing about it! Let the situation get clearer before you act.

LIBRA — You have a strange and wonderful day ahead, Libra.

Once you’ve finished your work,

you may want to either draw or write something that will help you remember today for a long time. You’re beginning to see the results of recent changes in you, and you’re looking for a way to express them. It may be difficult to find just the right words. But aren’t you a natural-born writer?

SCORPIO — You have a nice day in store, Scorpio. People may seem more attentive to your needs and generally very pleasant. You may not be used to this kind of treatment! You feel more outgoing and sociable than ever. You could take advantage of the day’s tolerant atmosphere to meet people you may have been too afraid to introduce yourself to. They will surely have some new things to teach you.

SAGITTARIUS — Today is a day for healing and reconciliation. You may have been feeling abused and mistreated lately by someone (or a few people) in your family over the past few weeks. You’re now ready for a new start, because you were able to work things out and you’ve learned something from what happened. Take the time to savor the moment, and spend some time with the people you love.

CAPRICORN — You may feel living your life is like crossing a desert, but fortunately, Capricorn, today brings your oasis. Take advantage of it!

Some people you’ve met over the past few weeks could turn out to be more interesting than you originally thought. It’s up to you to change those parts of your personality that have been holding you back.

AQUARIUS — Certain questions about your family life aren’t as cut and dried as you might think, Aquarius. This can be the case when emotions are involved. Yet more than anyone else, you need to be careful not to hurt anyone’s feelings. Today something could happen that will let you control the situation while controlling your emotions.

PISCES — Pisces, you may have had some confused emotions about your relationship or family over the past few days. You may not have been able to fully express your worries to others. But today these emotions will find a way to come out. Look around you.

There might be someone right next to you who can help with your problems.

Thought for Today

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.

Anti-Semitic attacks reported in L.A. County israel

Continued from Page A3 during the days of fighting, 25 of which were senior figures, according to Israeli officials.

“Hamas can’t hide anymore,” the prime minister said in a televised address. “That’s a great achievement for Israel. We eliminated an important part of Hamas’s and Islamic Jihad’s command echelon. And whoever was not killed knows today that our long arm can reach him anywhere, above ground or underground.”

Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh also responded to Friday’s ceasefire, declaring that the militant group achieved a successful resistance to an economically stronger foe. He said Hamas would rebuild its lost military capabilities.

“We will rebuild what the occupation (Israel) destroyed and restore our capabilities, and we will not abandon our obligations and duties to the families of martyrs, the wounded and those whose homes were destroyed,” Mr. Haniyeh said.

In Gaza, civilians took the streets Friday to celebrate the ceasefire, waving the Palestinian flag and setting off fireworks.

President Joe Biden praised the ceasefire during an address Thursday, calling it a “genuine opportunity” for long-term peace in the Middle East. During the conflict, President Joe Biden avoided public comment on the Israeli airstrikes, but reiterated Thursday that the U.S. will “fully support Israel’s right to defend itself against indiscriminate rocket attacks.” He also offered condolences to the Palestinian people who lost their homes and their loved ones and vowed that humanitarian aid would be swiftly delivered through the Palestinian Authority.

“I believe the Palestinians and Israelis equally deserve to live safely and securely and enjoy equal measures of freedom, prosperity and democracy,” Mr. Biden said Thursday. “My administration will continue our quiet, relentless diplomacy toward that.”

Jonathan Bar-El, the consul for public diplomacy and spokesperson for the Israeli consulate in Los Angeles, was thankful for the president’s support of Israel’s right to defend its citizens and said he was moved by the gestures of Israel’s supporters around the world.

Mr. Bar-El told the News-Press that he was glad to hear about the ceasefire, hopeful this will mean a return to “tranquility and diplomatic solutions.”

He expressed optimism at Israel’s achievements

during the fight, noting that airstrikes “severely damaged and degraded Hamas’ capability to continue to fire and to launch missiles over Israel again.”

Yet, despite Hamas’ decreased ability to fire strikes towards Israel, Mr. Bar-El said only time will tell if this ceasefire will hold.

“We are still of course concerned because we are dealing with a terror organization, and as such, (Hamas) might strike again and a ceasefire is always being tested over time,” Mr. Bar-El said.

He added, “(Hamas) is a terror organization. It’s important to say that the Palestinian people is not our enemy — our enemy is the one who started this attack, Hamas, an Islamic, radical terror organization.”

To maintain peace in the region, Mr. Bar-El said Hamas needs to stop firing missiles at Israel and should recognize that “Israel exists and will stay there.”

“If Hamas won’t launch missiles, we will have tranquility and hopefully peace, and I think we’ll be able to negotiate in a peaceful manner,” Mr. Bar-El said. “Hamas needs to stop launching missiles and stop putting Palestinians in danger as (the militants) do and using them as human shields for (their) purposes.”

Prior to the ceasefire, instances of anti-Semitic attacks were reported in Los Angeles County earlier this week. Currently, the Los Angeles Police Department is investigating an attack against a group of Jewish men who were dining in a Beverly Grove restaurant late Tuesday night. According to eyewitness reporters, a pro-Palestinian mob attacked the men by throwing bottles and yelling anti-Semitic slurs.

No one was seriously injured in the attack, and the LAPD said it is investigating this as a hate crime. The Anti-Defamation League is offering a $5,000 reward for information regarding suspects involved in the attack.

The Consulate General of Israel in Los Angeles, for which Mr. Bar-El is the spokesperson, issued a statement condemning the attack.

“The events that took place are the result of ongoing hate speech and incitement fed by false propaganda against Israel on social media and even in mainstream media outlets,” the consulate said in a statement. “The indiscriminate attacks against Israelis has now spread to indiscriminate attacks against Jews in Los Angeles and around the world.” email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

One Block From State! – Studio Apts.

By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

For the first time since 2011, the Cardinals claimed the boys basketball Tri-Valley League Championship.

Tyler Williams scored a teamhigh 20 points and Matthew Cunningham added 19 points in the 77-41 victory over Foothill Tech.

Bishop opened a 53-18 lead and never looked back.

The Cardinals await their playoff fate, with brackets set to be released at 10 a.m. Sunday.

PREP SOFTBALL DOS PUEBLOS 9, CABRILLO 0 Bella Nuno went 4-4 from the plate and Ashley Gerken added a home run to lead Dos Pueblos to victory Friday.

Mia Reveles went 2-3 and scored three times in the win, while DP (16-4, 12-1 in Channel League) got a strong outing from Georgia Wilson on the hill.

Riley Monroe threw out three would-be base stealers in the victory.

“We had a great day at the plate, even in the innings we didn’t score, we hit the ball hard,” coach Mike Gerken said. “Ashley hit one into the wind in the 2nd inning that had a chance but it stayed in the park.

The second time she was up she got a better piece of it. It was a no doubter even into the wind.”

SAN MARCOS 9, LOMPOC 8 Caitlyn Early’s run-scoring double in the bottom of the sixth helped the Royals hold off a lategame comeback attempt against the Braves Friday afternoon.

Tiana Monaghan went 3-4 at the plate, while Early, Izabella Velasquez and Emma Foster each recorded two hits in the victory.
