Health Care Center hosts vaccine event Community members receive first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccine

FDA, CDC recommend third vaccine shot for some Extra dose authorized for immunocompromised individuals By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration are now recommending that immunocompromised individuals across the nation receive a third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Late Thursday evening, the Food and Drug Administration authorized a third dose of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines to be given to immunocompromised patients. The move by the FDA expands the emergency use authorizations for both vaccines, allowing immunocompromised individuals to receive a third shot of the vaccine to increase immunity to the virus. The order applies specifically to individuals who are organ transplant recipients or diagnosed with “conditions that are considered to have an equivalent level of immunocompromise,” according to a news release from the FDA. “The country has entered yet another wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the FDA is especially cognizant that immunocompromised people are particularly at risk for severe disease. After a thorough review of the available data, the FDA determined that this small, vulnerable group may benefit from a third dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna Vaccines,” Acting FDA Commissioner Dr. Janet Woodcock said in a statement. “Today’s action allows doctors to boost immunity in certain immunocompromised individuals who need extra protection from COVID-19. As we’ve previously stated, other individuals who are fully vaccinated are adequately protected and do not need an additional dose of COVID-19 vaccine at this time.” Please see DOSES on A3

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara Health Care Center expanded its vaccine efforts on Friday, offering shots to members of the public in addition to health center patients. Since the end of January, the Santa Barbara Health Care Center has doled out shots exclusively to its patients and a few members of the public through weekly vaccination clinics. During the peak of the vaccine effort, 100 to 120 patients received the vaccine at each event, but that has since tapered to about 16 to 20 per event, Paola Hurtado, the health care center administrator, told the News-Press. Friday’s event was the first time the staff widely advertised the clinic to members of the public in advance, offering walk-in appointments for all community members. The clinic was meant to break down barriers for vaccine access as well as celebrate National Health Care Centers Please see VACCINES on A2

Results will impact redistricting efforts By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

While California is set to lose a congressional seat in the House of Representatives due to sluggish population growth, the slow and steady growth Santa Barbara County saw in recent decades largely remained intact, according to the results of the 2020 census released Thursday. According to the census results, Santa Barbara County had a population of 448,229 as of April 1, 2020. This is a population shift of about 24,300 people when compared to 2010 census data, which recorded a population of 423,895. While additional data, such as population breakdown by age, sex and race, is still forthcoming, the small population increase largely mirrors what the census has tracked in the county in years past, said Douglas Johnson, the president of the National Demographics Corporation, a consulting firm that assists local jurisdictions with redistricting. “Historically, much of Santa Barbara County has (seen) very slow growth,” Mr. Johnson told Please see CENSUS on A3

Clinic considering another vaccination event in September VACCINES

Continued from Page A1

Week, which was recognized nationally from last Sunday through today. The vaccine effort saw great success on Friday, with about 90 shots distributed in total, Ms. Hurtado said. Community members who attended the clinic had the option to choose which shot they’d like to receive — the Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson. The clinic offered both first and second doses, though most of those attending Friday’s event received their first shot. Given the success of Friday’s event, Ms. Hurtado said the clinic is considering another vaccination event for September. “Our goal is to ensure that communities are aware that we have this available,” Ms. Hurtado said. “We are here to serve the underserved, we have English, Spanish educators on site, and we do have a good amount of Spanish speaking patients,” she later added. In addition to the vaccine clinic, Friday’s

event also featured free nutritional counseling on site for any patients interested in a consultation. Megan Vercelli, a dietician at the Health Care Center, told the News-Press that just as vaccines prevent severe illness from COVID-19, a healthy diet can act as a preventative measure for illnesses associated with diabetes and high cholesterol. “It’s always better to prevent problems from happening as opposed to trying to deal with them once they’ve already happened,” Ms. Vercelli said. “And that kind of applies to both the vaccine and nutrition, you know, it’s better to vaccinate yourself and not have hospitalization rather than try to deal with the hospitalization because you got infected.” “Same thing with nutrition, you know, trying to target behaviors that aren’t so healthy earlier on leads to a better result than waiting until you have diabetes or you have really high cholesterol and all these other things, it’s a little harder to kind of make changes at that point.” During the event, local Santa Barbara resident Kyle Brace joined 90 patients who

got vaccinated Friday after receiving her single dose shot of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. After falling ill with COVID-19, Ms. Brace told the News-Press that she had been waiting for a period of time before getting her shot. She said what drew her to the Health Care Center’s clinic was the ability to choose any of the three shots, and she had a hard time finding clinics doling out the Johnson & Johnson vaccine elsewhere. With her shot in the arm, Ms. Brace said she’s looking forward to a trip she planned to Paris next month and feels good that she did her part to help slow the spread of the virus. “I’ve always believed that we have to step up together as a community, both locally and worldwide, in the face of this pandemic,” Ms. Brace said. “And so, it’s for philosophical reasons and of course, health reasons (that I chose to get the vaccine). I consider myself strong, and in good health, and yet, I would not want to ever unwittingly expose or infect somebody else because I wasn’t vaccinated.”

TRAFFIC, CRIME AND FIRE BLOTTER Sheriff’s Department investigating case involving stolen firearms GOLETA — Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s detectives are investigating the burglary of a firearms store in the 5700 block of Hollister Avenue.

On Thursday afternoon, deputies were dispatched to a business on Hollister Avenue to take a report for the burglary. Upon arrival, the deputies learned that multiple firearms had been stolen and noticed a large hole in the side of the building near the roofline where they believed the subject entered, according to Raquel Zick, the Sheriff’s Office public information officer.

County officials planning distribution of third dose DOSES

Continued from Page A1 The decision comes as the delta variant gains traction in the U.S., leading to surging case rates in many areas nationwide. After reviewing recent studies, the FDA said the use of a booster shot among immunocompromised people “could increase protection in this population.” Following Thursday’s announcement from the FDA, an advisory panel with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention voted unanimously to recommend a third shot of the vaccine for immunocompromised individuals on Friday. Director Rochelle Walensky signed off on the order, meaning that people can begin getting their third doses right away. “This official CDC recommendation — which follows

FDA’s decision to amend the emergency use authorizations of the vaccines — is an important step in ensuring everyone, including those most vulnerable to COVID-19, can get as much protection as possible from COVID-19 vaccination,” Dr. Walensky said in a statement. As of Friday afternoon, officials from the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department were still developing a plan for rolling out third doses of the vaccine. Suzanne Grimmesey, a public information officer with the county’s Behavior Wellness Department, told the News-Press that the department was working to determine exactly which residents the order would apply to as of Friday afternoon. Immunocompromised individuals make up about 2.7% of the U.S. population, or around 7 million people, according to data from the Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention. This population is more likely to get severely ill from COVID-19 and are at a higher risk of suffering from prolonged symptoms. The CDC advisory committee said it should be left up to patients and doctors to decide who needs an extra dose and what the timing will be, though a booster shot is not recommended for the general population at this time. On Friday, the CDC revealed that already, about 1 million individuals have received an additional dose of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, and about 90,000 have received an additional dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. No serious adverse effects were reported after administering a third dose and any potential harmful effects were minimal, the CDC said on Friday.

New district map due by Dec. 15 CENSUS

Continued from Page A1 the News-Press on Friday. “Santa Maria and other areas of the county are exceptions to that, but the county as a whole has relatively slow growth, and now the rest of the state has kind of slowed down. It’s not necessarily that Santa Barbara is growing any faster, it’s just that the rest of the state is joining Santa Barbara in having slow growth.” Sluggish overall growth statewide is playing out primarily in Los Angeles County, where the state is likely to lose a congressional district as a result of slow growth, and in the Bay Area, Mr. Johnson added. The census results released Thursday will have implications both state and county-wide. Statewide, a group called the California Citizens Redistricting Commission is preparing to redraw political boundaries for congressional, state Senate and Assembly districts. Countywide, a group of county residents on the Citizens Independent Redistricting Commission are set to draw new supervisorial district boundary lines along the Central Coast. Though the release of the census data lagged due to COVID-19 complications, the county’s commission is still required to have the new district map drawn by the Dec. 15 deadline. This new commission was the first in the state to be formed ahead of the redistricting process, according to Mr. Johnson, though a number of other counties have formed similar oversight bodies in recent months. The commission will be responsible for redrawing what has long been regarded as a “controversial

supervisorial district map,” according to Mr. Johnson. For months, the commission has collected input from members of the public regarding what the map should look like, and the new map has the potential to look very different, Mr. Johnson added. “It’s likely to lead to a big change in the map,” Mr. Johnson said. “One thing that has already been said many, many times is that the current map has this very unusual linking of Goleta and Isla Vista with Guadalupe in one supervisorial district. It even carves through you know, separating Lompoc from the unincorporated communities that literally share the border. So that kind of thing is very unlikely to be drawn by an independent commission, under the fairly strict rules that the Commission has to follow, for how the lines get drawn.” “We never know how the map will turn out until they actually draw it.” The rules for redrawing district boundaries prioritize keeping communities together with nearby cities and ignoring where incumbent supervisors live, Mr. Johnson added. With this year being the first time in history that the lines have been drawn by an independent group of citizens, Mr. Johnson said local residents have the chance to be involved in drawing district boundaries unlike ever before. “Between the county Independent Commission and the new state rules for local redistricting, there is more chance for the public to participate in this process than ever before,” Mr. Johnson said. “This is going to be, for those who want this, an unprecedented chance to draw the lines themselves.” email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

PARR, Barbara Mae

MOUNT, Sarah Alexander

Barbara Mae Parr was a loving Wife, Mother, Sister, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, Aunt and Friend. She was called home to be with the Lord on July 31, 2021, at the age of 76. She was born on September 25, 1944, to Ralph and Viola Johnson in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and attended schools there through High School.

Sarah Alexander Mount passed peacefully at home on May 28, 2021 surrounded by family. Born in Stony Point, NC of Clyde Alexander and Elsie Gwaltney Alexander. She was one of nine children, seventh in line. She was the last of that generation. She attended Wingate College, Charlotte, NC and married Robert Franklin Mount on 8/23/1946. She taught third grade for 20 years at Vieja Valley School, Santa Barbara.

September 25, 1944 – July 31, 2021

In 1962 Barbara married Charles (Chuck) Kastner. In 1968 Barbara and Chuck moved to California and lived in various cities in the Northern, Central and Southern parts of the state. Barbara was employed in various professions but what she enjoyed most was being a Foster Parent, caring for young children who needed a loving home. In 1992 Barbara and Chuck divorced, and Barbara moved to Solvang, California where she became a Court Clerk in what would become the Solvang Superior Court of Santa Barbara. In 1993 Barbara met Malvin Parr, a widower, and they married on Christmas Day in 1994 and Barbara became a stepmother to Malvin’s daughter Malissa. Barbara and Malvin remained in Solvang until their retirement, Barbara in December 2003, and Malvin in March 2004. In July 2005, Barbara and Malvin moved to Carlsbad, California where they remained until Barbara’s passing. Barbara suffered in her later years from several conditions that prevented her from traveling and visiting family members which she truly enjoyed. Barbara is survived by her husband Malvin, stepdaughter Malissa and two daughters Dawn Koss, and her husband Greg, Nicole VanDerLinden, and her husband Brent. Barbara is also survived by grandson Mackena, granddaughters Julia and Bree, great-granddaughter Sawyer, sister Karen Johnson Prust and her husband Greg, and nephews Daniel and Adam Prust. Barbara was preceded in death by her father and mother, Ralph and Viola Johnson. It was Barbara’s desire to be cremated and her ashes interred at sea with just family members in attendance. Barbara will be remembered as “the most generous, unconditional love giver – one that cared for others more than herself.”

5/16/1927 to 5/28/2021

Surviving family are 3 children: Barbara Burke, Angela Comin and Tamara Schlagel. She leaves behind 5 grandchildren: Tanya Cassier, Cenen Aparicio, Nanette Navarro, Tyler Burke, and Sam Burke. She has 6 great-grandchildren. Sarah was an active member of Apostles Church at 4485 Hollister Ave. in Santa Barbara. Services will be held on August 21, 2021; 11:00 a.m. at Apostles Church. Reception at Kirby Hall following services. Much gratitude is sent to our Hospice staff during her last illness. In lieu of ﬂowers, please make a donation to Apostles Church.

Double trouble By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

he UCSB Theater/ Dance Department is turning to William Shakespeare as it presents its first inperson production since the pandemic started. Students will perform their Naked Shakes production of

“Twelfth Night” at 5 p.m. Sept. 3 and 1 and 5 p.m. Sept. 4 outdoors on the Commencement Green by the UCSB Lagoon. Admission is free. “Twelfth Night” is about Sebastian and his twin sister Viola, who look alike in an uncanny way. After they’re separated in a shipwreck, they believe each other is dead. That leads to a bunch of

misunderstandings in this Shakespearean romantic comedy, which also involves Duke Orsino and Countess Olivia. The duke and countess are interested in the twins, and that sets the stage for this comedy. Shakespeare is believed to have written “Twelfth Night” as entertainment for the closing 12th night of the Christmas season. The outdoor UCSB production

Twins lead to romantic misunderstandings in UCSB’s ‘Twelfth Night’

of “Twelfth Night” is directed and adapted by Irwin Appel. Audience members at the outdoor UCSB production are encouraged to bring blankets and chairs and dress appropriately for the weather. Everyone will be asked to wear masks and stay six feet or more from other parties of audience members. Shakespeare’s other comedies,

At top and above, UCSB students will perform director Irwin Appel’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” by the UCSB Lagoon.

by the way, include “All’s Well That Ends Well,” “As You Like It,” “The Comedy of Errors,” “Cymbeline,” “The Merchant of Venice” and “Measure for Measure.” Three particularly hilarious ones are “Love’s Labour’s Lost,” “Much Ado about Nothing” and “The Merry Wives of Windsor.” An especially imaginative comedy is “A Midsummer Night’s

Dream.” email: dmason@newspress.com

FYI “Twelfth Night” will be performed at 5 p.m. Sept. 3 and 1 and 5 p.m. at UCSB Commencement Green. For more information, go to www. theaterdanceucsb.edu.

GOLETA — UCSB Arts & Lectures recently wrapped up its salute to 1980s and ’90s movies at the West Wind Drive-in. The Goleta series varied from “Galaxy Quest” to “Wayne’s World” to “Clueless” to “Men in Black.” The series also featured the buddy (or not-so-buddy) comedy “Rush Hour.” The series is one sign of the drivein’s continued renaissance during the pandemic. Everyone from UCSB Arts & Lectures to Cottage Health has used the drive-in, where social distancing is no problem, for special screenings. Commercial screenings have varied from “Black Widow” to animated films and horror movies such as “A Quiet Place, Part II.” And moviegoers watch either from inside their vehicles or on lounge chairs in front of their cars. There’s a definite community vibe. This weekend, the drive-in is showing “The Suicide Squad,” a DC Comics movie featuring a classic villain that dates back to an early

Museum of Ventura County digitizes footage from last century VENTURA — The Museum of Ventura County’s Research Library has successfully digitized 20th-century footage created by lifelong Ventura resident Herman Keene. The digitized film is now available to view in an online exhibition titled “Out and Back: Ventura County Backcountry Adventures.” To view, visit venturamuseum.org/virtualexhibits. The footage follows Mr. Keene as he captures a Santa

Paula ranch, Ventura’s steep mountain ranges and explores the backcountry. According to a news release from the museum, “the footage includes weather challenges Keene endured along the way, and how he survived the backcountry wilderness on his quest to hunt fox, bear and mountain lions.” “Herman Keene’s footage captures a rare moment in time in the history of Ventura County, and is the only backcountry footage we have in our collection,” MVC’s

Research Library Director Deya Terrafranca said in a statement. “It captures the juncture of the early days of car exploration of the backcountry, and at the same time the use of horses and pack animals.” The film was made possible through a grant from the Schwemm Family Foundation and collaboration with the USC film department for archival digitization. — Madison HIrneisen

ARIES — Your mental activity is more pronounced than usual, Aries. It may be difficult to stop the barrage of thoughts streaming through your head. You may be able to accomplish a lot, but you might drive yourself crazy with the internal chatter that doesn’t give you the opportunity to mentally sit still. Your thinking will be much clearer if you take time to slow down and meditate. TAURUS — Ideas are intriguing today, Taurus. You might feel like a kid in a candy store seeing new treats for the first time. New concepts are pulling you in, and you love every minute of it. Run with it. Your mind is exploring new realms, and you shouldn’t try to hold it back. Collect the data now and sort through it later. This is a time for adventure. GEMINI — You pick up information quickly, Gemini. Someone only needs to explain something to you once for you to grasp the concept. Your questions are concise. No one can accuse you of not paying attention to his or her words or actions. At the same time, you may be too sensitive to the information around you. An overload of stimuli could eventually overwhelm you. CANCER — You have independent views about everything, Cancer. People would be wrong to try to box you into thinking a certain way. Don’t let others convince you to accept something you’re skeptical of. You know what you believe so don’t be afraid to express it even if they go against the grain. Independence is important to you. You want others feel this freedom that’s so critical to a healthy lifestyle. LEO — If you know you’ve wronged another, admit it immediately, Leo. People are often quick to point out when others make mistakes, but it’s the rare individual who points out their own mistakes. Demonstrate that you’re strong and honorable enough to say when you’ve done wrong. Integrity will get you far in life, whereas deception and retreating from difficult situations will not. VIRGO — You may feel a great urge to dive headfirst into a project, Virgo. Perhaps there’s a plot of ground that you want to turn into a garden. Dig your hands into the soil. Maybe there’s a craft or art form that you can’t wait to learn about and develop. Be careful that you don’t start too many different projects Monday, November 16, and 2015leave them all unfinished.

LIBRA — The connection between your thoughts and words is strong today, and communication with others goes especially well, Libra. If there’s something important to be said, you won’t hesitate to say it, unlike your usual tendency to refrain from speaking to the person who really needs to hear you the most. You’re doing people a favor by letting them share your incredible wisdom. SCORPIO — Your words will flow smoothly today, Scorpio, and you certainly won’t lack things to say. Conversations about higher learning and greater spirituality are likely. You may be more aggressive when it comes to getting your opinion across, but that’s good. It’s important that you make your position known so others know where you stand. Together you can come up with something greater than you could alone. SAGITTARIUS — If someone says something you disagree with or disapprove of, Sagittarius, speak up. The person might assume you agree unless you say something. Your words can be forceful without being offensive, your approach assertive and not argumentative. State the facts as you see them. Don’t act in a condescending way toward others. This will only make the dynamic more difficult to deal with. CAPRICORN — You’re likely to be even quicker on the uptake than usual, Capricorn. Conversation will be brisk and lively. You may feel like the conductor of a symphony. You’re able to understand and follow all the different harmonies and melody lines while keeping your own steady beat running through your head. The music you make with others will be magical. AQUARIUS — If you’re in a debate, don’t back down, Aquarius. The major advantage you have over your opponents is your keen power of observation. It enables you to pick up on the energy around you. You know exactly what other people are thinking and where their arguments are going. You’ll be able to keep explosive issues from getting out of hand. Be aggressive if you feel it’s needed to control the situation. PISCES — Once you start talking about a certain topic, Pisces, it might be hard to stop, especially if the topic is you or one of your activities. A question about one aspect of your life may come up and you could have a sudden desire to tell your whole life story. Other people are going to want to voice their opinions, too, so take a breath and give them a chance.

CODEWORD PUZZLE

SUDOKU

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.
