Dozens of enthusiastic participants turned out for the 2022 Junior Wheelchair Sports Camp, which wrapped on Friday at the UCSB Recreation Center. The five-day camp returned inperson after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and participants were thrilled to be back together. “I would say that especially on the first day the energy was palpable,” Rene Van Hoorn, camp director and lead recreation therapist for Cottage Rehabilitation Hospital, told the News-Press. “The kids could only interact virtually the last two years. Our furthest camper this year came from Michigan. We were so grateful to be together in person. People were connecting and reconnecting. They are so appreciative of everything we are doing here and being together.” The annual camp provides sports and recreation skills development for children, youth and young adults between the ages of 6 and 21 who can use a wheelchair to participate in activities. A new young adult group has recently been added for athletes up to 21 years old. The camp had 35 attendees, which. although down from previous years. is still seen as good, considering the impact of COVID-19. “I always say that because we are a hospital, we are the last kids on the block to open up. Every single attendee was tested three times during the week,” said Ms. Van Hoorn. Camp activities this week

ranged from beginner to advanced wheelchair sports and recreation activities, including rugby, basketball, tennis, hand cycling, swimming, scuba diving, racquetball, power soccer, climbing wall, ropes course, dodgeball, obstacle course, baseball, dance and pickleball. Other activities included an all-camp dance, a carnival and boxing. “For swimming, we have oneon-one instructors in the pool, who give basic individual lessons. For many, they have no access to a pool, or a home pool is not accessible,” said Ms. Van Hoorn. She noted there are few places in town conducive to teaching people with a physical disability how to swim. “For wall climbing, we have UCSB leads for climbing walls and a ropes course using adapted equipment, including a system of pulleys. The camper does as much as they can. The rest is done using the pulley system,” said Ms. Van Hoorn. The Junior Wheelchair Sports Camp was founded in 1986 and is the only camp of its kind on the Central Coast. It attracts campers from the tri-counties and beyond, including Los Angeles and Bakersfield, and even Oregon. Transportation for campers is provided free of charge from Oxnard, Santa Maria, Lompoc, Carpinteria and Santa Barbara. “This was the 36th annual camp including the two virtual years,” said Ms. Van Hoorn. “The camp was started by the city of Santa Barbara in 1986 with funds from the paralympics. The event was taken over in 2008 by Cottage Hospital. The cornerstone of camp is to get kids empowered to know

We have about 20-30 each day,” she said. “They are the backbone of the camp. “A lot of people of all ages volunteer and have for years,” she said. Ms. Van Hoorn also noted, “All counselors and coaches are wheelchair users.” She said everyone who attends

the camp and their families feel the positive impact of the camp. “If there is anything I would love, it is for people to realize it doesn’t take rocket science to do what we are doing,” Ms. Van Hoorn said. “Just give them a chance. We want people to figure out what they can do, not what they can’t do. You just have to be creative like we are with any person.” email: kzehnder@newspress.com

THE CENTER SQUARE CONRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) – In one traffic stop, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the Otay Mesa LPOE in San Diego County confiscated enough fentanyl to kill more than 23 million people. Otay Mesa is the busiest commercial port in California. In FY21, CBP agents processed 5 million vehicles, 1 million trucks, and 2.1 million pedestrians. On July 3, they confiscated more than 100 pounds of fentanyl hidden in food products smuggled in by two men entering California from Mexico. They confiscated 42.46 pounds of powder and 59.08 pounds of pills, with an estimated street value of more than $1.2 million. Roughly two milligrams of fentanyl, about the weight of a mosquito, is enough to kill a fullgrown adult. One ounce is enough to kill 14,174 full-grown adults; one pound is enough to kill 226,796 full-grown adults. The 101.5 pounds CBP officials confiscated was enough to kill 23,028,882 full-grown adults. “We are seeing a rise in

fentanyl smuggling attempts,” Anne Maricich, CBP deputy director of Field Operations in San Diego, said. “Our officers are working vigilantly to prevent the entry of this dangerous drug. Our field office is also diligently working on mitigating the risks involved with seizing this lethal narcotic.” Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid 50 to 100 times more deadly than morphine, is primarily brought into the U.S. illegally from Mexico. The Otay Mesa LPOE is one of three ports of entry in San Diego for those entering the U.S. from Tijuana, Mexico. Tijuana is controlled by the Sinaloa Cartel, which has operational control of the U.S. southern border from California to Del Rio, Texas, law enforcement officials have explained to The Center Square. It’s believed to be the most powerful drug trafficking organization in the Western Hemisphere. On July 3, Otay Mesa CBP agents stopped two male drivers attempting to enter the U.S. who showed a passport from an unnamed country and a Please see FENTANYL on A4

District attorney receives 2022 Champion for Kids Award By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Joyce Dudley, the Santa Barbara County district attorney, was selected as the recipient of this year’s Champion for Kids Award by Fight Crime: Invest in Kids at the National District Attorney’s Association annual conference in Denver. The award recognizes Ms. Dudley’s commitment to promote solutions that help steer kids toward success and away from crime. Ms. Dudley is the only prosecutor to receive this prestigious award in 2022. “District Attorney Dudley has been a Fight Crime: Invest in Kids member for more than 10 years and has been a consistent champion in our mission to increase the chances that young people are set up for healthy and successful lives,” said Shelly

Masur, the California director of Fight Crime: Invest in Kids. “Her support for Fight Crime: Invest in Kids in California has been crucial. She has helped us to reach lawmakers in Sacramento to make sure that they know how important it is to make up-front investments in our kids to keep our communities safe. “In particular, she has pushed for additional funding to support voluntary home visiting programs, which coach parents to provide safe, nurturing environments in a child’s earliest years.” First elected district attorney in 2010, Ms. Dudley has been a leader in recognizing the importance of prevention efforts in building safer communities. Knowing that keeping children in school and on the path to graduation is one of the most effective crime-prevention tools available, she established a truancy program that includes

prevention and intervention to identify the root causes of truancy. In addition to her many professional activities, she also serves on the executive committee of Fight Crime: Invest in Kids California. “I am thrilled to be recognized for what I believe is the most important work we can do in law enforcement, building safer communities by investing in our children,” said Ms. Dudley. “Fight Crime: Invest in Kids was one of the first organizations I joined when elected, and I am honored to stand with my fellow leaders in speaking up for kids.” Fight Crime: Invest in Kids is a national organization of more than 5,000 police chiefs, sheriffs, prosecutors and violence survivors that advocates for proven strategies to reduce crime and put kids on the path to

The department said the reason is an increased amount of rapid antigen home testing, which often is not reported to the health department. Meanwhile, COVID-19related hospitalizations have been increasing, although ICU admissions have been low, according to the health department. There have been six deaths reported over the last week, the department reported. — Katherine Zehnder

Gov. Gavin Newsom and U.S. Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Alex Padilla, both D-Calif., went to the White House on Thursday to discuss wildfire coordination strategies with senior officials and Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks. “As the climate crisis exacerbates the ongoing threat of wildfire in California, we welcome the opportunity to work more closely with defense officials to ensure that the federal government is providing the necessary resources to support California’s emergency response and firefighting capabilities,” said Gov. Newsom and Sens. Feinstein and Padilla. “Close coordination between state and federal partners is key to effectively prepare for and actively combat the increasing scale of wildfires.” The eight largest wildfires in California history have occurred since 2017.

Director of athletics Robert Ruiz has announced the hiring of Tyler LaTorre as the new head coach of Westmont baseball. LaTorre becomes the 15th head coach in the program’s last 64 years. “We are incredibly excited to welcome Tyler LaTorre as the next head coach,” said Ruiz. “I am confident that his experience as a proven recruiter at both the NCAA Division II and Division I levels will allow him to continue to uphold the success that we are accustomed to in the Westmont baseball program. Tyler’s experience playing at a high level in college, his extensive experience in professional baseball and his successful track record in college coaching made him a standout candidate in this process.” LaTorre comes to Westmont from Sacramento State where he served as the pitching and catching coach and recruiting

coordinator for the past three seasons. During his tenure at the Division I school, three pitchers signed professional baseball contracts. “It has been a life-long dream to become a head coach at the collegiate level and I could not be more thrilled than to have Westmont make that dream come true,” said LaTorre. “I look forward to continuing the incredible success on and off the field here at Westmont. “Our baseball program will strive to build Christ-driven leaders that will serve others and glorify God. Through the game of baseball, our players will learn accountability, commitment, and belief in something greater than themselves. On the field, our team will be prepared and detail oriented.

Biden policies blamed for uptick FENTANYL

prescription pills used for pain, like OxyContin, Percocet and Vicodin. But heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine or benzodiazepines “may actually be fentanyl” or have been “adulterated or contaminated with fentanyl,” the National Institutes of Health warns. Fentanyl is less expensive to produce and easier to transport, doesn’t require farms or large facilities like cocaine production does, and can be compounded in people’s homes and garages. The finished products are brought into the U.S. illegally through an extensive cartel and gang network that operates throughout Mexico and the U.S. Drug trafficking and distribution is a felony that carries hefty sentences and fines. In 2018, for example, two California men pleaded guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute fentanyl after Texas law enforcement officers confiscated 10 pounds of fentanyl from their vehicle. The maximum sentence was 20 years in federal prison and a $1 million fine. Since then, the Biden administration has permanently added illicitly manufactured fentanylrelated substances as a Schedule I controlled substance under the Controlled Substance Act. The Drug Enforcement Agency explains that Schedule 1 substances are illegal, have a “high potential for misuse” and “no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.” They are highly addictive and deadly. The DEA has been warning Americans of the dangers of fentanyl, saying, “One pill can kill.”

A vegetation fire breaks out near Highway 101 between Winchester Canyon and Storke roads.

Vegetation fire in Goleta GOLETA — A vegetation fire occurred Friday near Highway 101 between Winchester Canyon and Storke roads. Santa Barbara County firefighters responded, and forward progress was contained at approximately one-quarter acre.

Investigators remained on scene for mop-up, according to County Fire. No injuries were reported. The incident is under investigation, tweeted Capt. Scott Safechuck, public information officer for the Santa Barbara County Fire Department. — Katherine Zehnder

California identification card, CBP said. It hasn’t yet disclosed their nationality. During a cursory inspection of their vehicle, CBP agents discovered the fentanyl in 46 packages wrapped in plastic stuffed inside flour bags, ground coffee cans, creamer cans and powdered milk cans. The men were turned over to the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials who are investigating the matter with Homeland Security Investigations officials. They were transported and booked into the Metropolitan Correctional Center in San Diego. The cartel drug trade has been emboldened by President Joe Biden’s open border policies, the governors and attorneys general of Texas and Florida maintain. In Texas alone, in the last year, officials have confiscated enough fentanyl to kill nearly every man, woman and child in the U.S., Texas Gov. Greg Abbott recently said. According to the latest available drug seizure data published by CBP, since President Biden took office, “enough fentanyl has been seized at the U.S. southwest border to kill every man, woman and child in the U.S. seven times over,” Florida AG Ashley Moody has argued. Fentanyl precursors are often first shipped from China to Mexican ports. Cartel workers then make fake opioid pills or lace other narcotics with them. The fake pills often look like authentic

San Jose State where he was the pitching, catching and hitting coach in addition to the recruiting coordinator. Three of his Spartan players - two pitchers and a position player – were selected in the MLB draft. While at San Jose State, LaTorre was honored as both the 2018 San Jose Assistant Coach of the Year and the 2019 Fellowship of Christian Athletes Coach of the Year. LaTorre’s coaching resume also includes a two-year stint at Division II San Francisco State where he was associate head coach, pitching coach and recruiting coordinator for the Gators. His work at San Francisco State will provide valuable experience as the Warriors transition into NCAA Division II membership. “What Coach Ruiz, his coaching staff, and players have built here at Westmont is truly inspiring,” noted LaTorre. “To have the opportunity for my family and I to join and continue that tradition of Warrior Baseball is really exciting. My hope is to embrace the winning culture that has come before us and enhance the program by drawing on my own experiences as a collegiate student-athlete, professional player, and college coach.” La Torre played in professional baseball from 2006 to 2015 in the San Francisco Giants’ and Milwaukee Brewers’ minor league

systems. He was also a catcher for the Italian National Team from 2012-2016. In his first year, the team won the European Championship, which was held in Amsterdam. The following season, he played for the Italian team in the World Baseball Classic. LaTorre played his college baseball at UC Davis during the 2002-2006 seasons. A twotime captain and four-year member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, LaTorre was a member of the 2003 Aggie team that advanced to the NCAA Division II World Series. “I will bring a tireless work ethic, endless care for our players, coaching staff and the Westmont community, and an authentic enthusiasm for building leaders,” said LaTorre of what he seeks to bring to the program. “I want to provide each player with the opportunity to achieve excellence in their spiritual lives, academics, and athletics. “On the field, our hope is that we develop our players to have belief in themselves and in their teammates so they may compete together at the highest level. Off the field, our goal is to provide our players the ability to sustain balance and successfully thrive in their relationship with God, overachieve in the classroom, and make life-long memories with their teammates.” LaTorre takes over a program that has just experienced the most on-field success in Westmont history, culminating in its first trip

to the NAIA World Series in Lewiston, Idaho. “I believe that Tyler has the right vision for the program and the leadership capacity to maintain the highest standards of success on and off the field,” said Ruiz. “His character, strong faith and desire to mentor young men make him the right person to carry our baseball program forward. “We look forward to welcoming Tyler and his family into our community. I believe that our current players, alumni and campus community will benefit from his presence at the helm of Westmont baseball.” Expressing his gratitude, LaTorre said, “I would first and foremost like to thank our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I would not be the person I am today without him guiding me on this journey that has brought me to Westmont. Another huge thank you to Dr. Beebe and Robert Ruiz for this incredible opportunity to lead our baseball program. Also, to my Mom, Dad and family, thank you for being there every step of the way. “Lastly, to my wife, Stacey, and our daughter, Arabella - thank you for allowing me to chase my dream of college coaching. Both of you inspire me to be the best I can be and I can’t wait for all of us to lay roots here at Westmont.” Ron Smith is the sports information director at Westmont College. email: sports@newspress.com

Diane Dodds-Reichert was a loving mother, wife, sister and friend. She passed away in the early morning of Tuesday, March 22nd, 2022 at the age of 75 at Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California. Born in 1947 to loving parents Gustav and Lota Hilbert, Diane was the middle of three children and was raised in Altadena, California. Diane was raised in the typical southern California lifestyle, visiting the beach on weekends with her family, attending church every Sunday, and enjoying endless sunny days in between. After she graduated from Pasadena High School, she enrolled at Pasadena City College. As a rising junior, she discovered the paradise that is Santa Barbara. After applying to attend UCSB, she was accepted, started in the fall of 1966, and went on to graduate in 1968 with a degree in English. She was an avid reader and a lover of the English language which helped her become an accomplished linguist, and to have little patience with either grammatical errors or loose slang. After graduating from college, she worked in the banking field as a teller and loan officer, and later spent some time teaching English. In 1985 she married Alexander Dodds, IV. In 1988 they adopted their two sons, Jeffrey Alan Dodds and Alexander Dodds, V. With this marriage, Diane’s career took a happy turn as she worked as the assistant in the tax and investment office of Alex M. Dodds and Associates. During this period, her banking and tax experience served her well in her truly life long career as a real estate investor in partnership with her siblings. Her compassion and love of life, as well as her faith, was pivotal to her children’s upbringing. The family was active in Trinity Baptist Church; Diane served in multiple roles including to teach Sunday School and in the Awana program. After her husband’s passing in the late fall of 1999, she continued to raise her children in the best way she knew how: faith, family, and love.

Diane was a huge believer in grace and kindness, which helped guide her to become involved in multiple charitable endeavors, especially the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission. Her compassion for others was a beacon of hope for anyone that she helped. Over the years, Diane became a distinguished member of the community in Santa Barbara. With her lifelong dedication to education and her numerous philanthropic endeavors, in 2017 she had the distinct honor of becoming an alumni board member at her alma mater, UCSB. Through this extraordinary body, she was able to contribute greatly to the community of alumni and to help to ensure the success of future generations of UCSB students. Up in Heaven, she quite likely switches her halo every so often for a golden Gaucho hat! Early in 2011, Diane met David Reichert at an Opera Santa Barbara production of Verdi’s “La Traviata” at the Granada Theatre. Through the power of this remarkable relationship and David’s ardor for literature and the arts, Diane’s existing love for the arts and philanthropy naturally increased. Diane became a leading contributor to Opera Santa Barbara. Other arts organizations that she supported included CAMA, the Santa Barbara Choral Society, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, the Santa Barbara Historical Museum, and the Natural History Museum. Spending so much time with each other, they fell in love and four years later they tied the knot with a beautiful ceremony at the gorgeous All Saints-by-the-Sea church in Montecito. Diane is survived by her son Alexander and her husband David of Santa Barbara, and her two siblings Mark and Faith of Orange County, in addition to many nephews and nieces she held dear. Her warm smile, compassion, and dedicated love to all will be missed by her family, friends and loved ones. Her memory will leave a forever burning ember inside each one of our hearts. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations may be made in her honor to the SB Rescue Mission or a charity of your choice. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, July 30th at 1:00, at First Presbyterian Church of Santa Barbara. For questions, please contact David Reichert at dreichertinsb@ gmail.com.

Ventura Land Trust to host Wild and Scenic Film Festival

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Ventura Land Trust’s annual benefit, the Wild and Scenic Film Festival, returns for its 13th year on Aug. 20 at Ventura County Credit Union headquarters — 2575 Vista Del Mar Drive, Ventura. This signature event raises funds each year to support the trust’s mission to permanently protect the land, water, wildlife and scenic beauty of the Ventura region for current and future generations. Film festival doors open at 5 p.m., and films begin around 7:45 p.m. A virtual ticket option is available for guests who prefer to enjoy the film festival at home. The films will include “Trees” (Ventura Land Trust), “Maneuvers,” “Finding Salmon,” “I am Cheo,” “Protecting the Monarch Butterfly,” “If You Give a Beach a Bottle,” “Shaba,” “Life in the Slow Lane” and “You Can’t Beat This Place for FUN!” Other movies are “The Bird Nerds of Mono Lane,” “Ghost Ponds.” “Vet in the Wild,” “The Voice of the River,” “One Star Review” and “The Fog of Big Sur.” For film descriptions, visit www.

venturalandtrust.org/wsff2022. “The Wild and Scenic Film Festival is a fun gathering of like-minded, community- and earth-centered individuals,” said Melissa Baffa, Ventura Land Trust executive director. “My favorite part of the event every year is getting together with friends in a beautiful outdoor setting and enjoying the creative and inspiring art presented in the form of film, music, and tasty food and drink,” Ms. Baffa said. She added that the event raises vital operating funds for the land trust. “General operating funds are the lifeblood of a nonprofit organization. Everything about this event, from corporate sponsorship to ticket and beverage sales, helps raise those important funds for Ventura Land Trust.” Ventura Land Trust owns and manages the 2,123-acre Harmon Canyon Preserve in Ventura and recently announced the permanent conservation of Mariano Rancho Preserve, 1,645 acres of land in the hills north of Ventura. The 2022 film festival will feature nearly two hours of films and food from local food trucks. New to the festival this year is a

silent auction in addition to the festival’s traditional raffle. Beer from Topa Topa Brewing Company, Rincon Brewery and Ventura Coast Brewing Company will be available for sale, as well as wine. Live music from bands Fish Fry and The Vonettes will kick off the festivities. In the Ventura Vibe VIP Lounge, small bites from Himalaya Cuisine, Aloha Steakhouse, and Olive Branch Provisions, and others will be complemented by wine, beer and a cocktail by Model Citizen. A general admission film festival ticket is $40, with $5 children’s tickets available and teen’s tickets (13-17) available for $10. VIP tickets, which include special gift items and admission to the Ventura Vibe VIP Lounge, are $125. Visit www. venturalandtrust.org/wsff2022 for tickets. Sponsorship opportunities are available.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

INSTRUCTIONS Fill in the grid so every row, every column and every 3-by-3 grid contains the digits 1 through 9. that means that no number is repeated in any row, column or box. Sudoku puzzles appear on the Diversions page Monday-Saturday and on the crossword solutions page in Sunday’s Life section.

& / 9 6 5 = ' 3 - +

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.

thank you for it. LIBRA — Don’t even try to understand what’s happening today, Libra, because you won’t be able to fathom it. Collective currents of concern are imposing upon your life and you’re powerless to stop them. Some soul searching may help. SCORPIO — This kind of strange day doesn’t occur often, Scorpio. You no longer seem to know what you want. Work or time off? Redecorate your house or live in a beach shack? It’s hard to communicate because you feel it’s pointless to try to explain your point of view, especially when you don’t know what it is. SAGITTARIUS — Do countries abroad represent real opportunities for you, Sagittarius? This is a question that you’ll soon have to answer. The grass may be greener on the other side of the world, but have you considered the possibility that it isn’t? Could it be that the dream of working abroad is a convenient explanation for the dissatisfaction you feel at work? CAPRICORN — Today won’t be like most other days, Capricorn. Look around and you’ll see that people either have their heads in the clouds, are depressed, or seem to be trying to keep up a good front. The planetary atmosphere is such that a lot of people - and you in particular - feel frustrated by an inability to realize their dreams. AQUARIUS — If you were offered the opportunity to take a trip around the world, where you would see wonderful palaces and experience a timeless love affair, would you take it? The freedom would tempt you, without a doubt, but would it make you happy, Aquarius? Have you considered the possibility that you can create an environment here at home that gives you that same sense of freedom? PISCES — Today might be a bit difficult, Pisces, because you aren’t likely to be as productive as usual. You won’t have much to say, and you’ll feel sleepy and somewhat grumpy. In other words, it’s the perfect day to go back to bed with that novel. Take a nap - or several naps and follow your desire to do as little as possible.

HOROSCOPE ARIES —You certainly are in a strange mood today, Aries. True, things have been going smoothly for the past few days, but be careful not to fool yourself. “Pride comes before a fall,” as the expression goes. You should be wary of the way you treat your lover now. TAURUS — It will be as though you’re in a new, hopeful world today, Taurus. The people you meet will be cordial and caring, and the future will seem like a bright, attractive place to live. In other words, you feel as though you’re living in a fabulous dream. Alas, the alarm clock is bound to wake you up soon. GEMINI — Because your tendency recently has been to brood over everything, Gemini, a day like this can’t be anything but beneficial. It has been difficult for you to find material satisfaction of late, but today offers you a view into the world of the intangible and unreal. CANCER — There are days when you feel wonderful without being able to attribute the feeling to any real event. Of course, your rational mind will search for a reason for the happiness. If you count the number of times when you do things against your will or better judgment, it becomes obvious that logic and reason don’t always apply to this world. LEO — The day ahead should be excellent. You’ve been searching for meaning behind recent events. No doubt there have been a lot of changes both at work and at home. You’re bursting with new ambition. Today, Leo, you’re likely to put all these experiences into the hopper, stir them up, and be grateful for the thrilling life you lead right now! VIRGO — You’ll probably be perfectly in tune with the day ahead, Virgo. Of course, there are days when it’s tempting to run away from the reality of the moment and its hardships. At times like today, you’re so compassionate that you find it easy to listen to others, and life is truly rewarding. People find your company soothing and pleasant, and they are likely to
