Golden State Killer sentenced to life Santa Barbara County district attorney hopes for healing for victims and survivors By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

California’s most sought-after serial killer was sentenced to multiple life sentences Friday for a string of rapes and murders during the 1970s and ’80s. Joseph James DeAngelo Jr., 74, was sentenced to 11 consecutive life terms without the parole for 13 first-degree murders — including four local murders — as well as an additional consecutive life term for 13 kidnappings to commit robbery with an eight-year sentencing

enhancement for personal use of a firearm and personal use of a knife during the commission of the offenses. Mr. DeAngelo was jointly prosecuted by the district attorneys of Santa Barbara, Contra Costa, Orange, Sacramento, Tulare and Ventura counties. His sentencing Friday was held at the Sacramento State University ballroom. It was relocated to accommodate the large number of victims and their family members and to ensure social distancing due to COVID-19.

“This ‘cold case’ never went cold for the victims and survivors. It burned them to their very soul,” Santa Barbara County District Attorney Joyce E. Dudley said in a statement. “I respectfully hope today resulted in a step forward in their healing process.” Mr. DeAngelo, also known as the Golden State Killer, among other monikers, was arrested in April 2018 after being identified through Investigative Genetic Genealogy. A former police officer, Mr. DeAngelo admitted to committing crimes against

87 individual victims during attacks he committed at 53 separate crime scenes. Charges were filed against him for offenses he committed against 26 of his victims. He also admitted to committing crimes against 61 additional victims. Those offenses included attempted murder, kidnapping to commit robbery, rape, robbery, first-degree burglary and false imprisonment. The uncharged crimes occurred in Alameda, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Santa Clara, Please see gsk on A10

Oil trucking request hits obstacle Santa Maria Refinery scheduled to close in 2023 By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Energy company Phillps 66 announced earlier this month its plans to close its Santa Maria Refinery, causing ExxonMobil to hit a snag in its pending application for a temporary oil trucking permit. The closure is also an obstacle for the company’s long-term efforts to restart oil platforms shut down after the massive oil spill of May 19, 2015 at Refugio State Beach. Phillips 66’s announcement means the one refinery ExxonMobil would be allowed to truck oil to under the recommendations of Santa Barbara County staff would be out of commission in just over two years. As detailed in a Planning Commission staff report, the County recommends modifying ExxonMobil’s original proposal that allowed the company to truck oil to two receiving sites, the Phillips 66 Santa Maria Refinery and the Plains Pentland Terminal near the city of Maricopa in Kern County, down to just transporting oil

to the former. According to the report, ExxonMobil is supportive of this arrangement. The modified oil trucking project, like the original, is part of a phased restart to ExxonMobil’s Santa Ynez Unit facilities, offshore platforms Hondo, Harmony, and Heritage. These have been out of commission since the Plains All American Pipeline ruptured and caused an oil spill in 2015. The estimated spill was more than 100,000 gallons of crude oil, including some 20,000 gallons that made it to the ocean. More than 120 birds and 65 marine mammals were killed. Under the amended proposal, ExxonMobil would truck crude oil from its Las Flores Canyon processing facility up Highway 101 to the Santa Maria Refinery, while the Pentland facility would only be used if the Santa Maria Refinery’s truck loading facilities fell out of commission for 10 consecutive days or more. Crude oil trucking on the highway would last for seven years or whenever a new pipeline became available to transport ExxonMobil’s oil to Please see OIL on A2

Insomnia Cookies will be open from 11 a.m. until midnight Sunday through Wednesday and 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. Thursday through Saturday.

By JORGE MERCADO NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A new late night option has officially arrived. Insomnia Cookies opened its newest storefront at 430 State St. Friday morning to a group of excited locals ready to satisfy their sweet tooth. “It’s gone great. There was a line out the door (this morning) when we opened,” Christie Combs, the store operations manager, told the News-Press. “It’s been a long time coming and we are more than ready to be here at full operation and capacity.” According to Ms. Combs, people were most excited to try Insomnia Cookies special Sugar Rush deal where customers can get 12 cookies for $12. The promotion runs through Sunday.

J.P., a man who lives in Santa Barbara, was one of the customers who took advantage of the deal. “I actually got a link on my phone from a friend of mine who said that this was happening today so I said I’ll go ahead and just check it out. The link that I got was about the Sugar Rush deal, so I took up that offer,” JP said, adding that he was most excited to try the snickerdoodle cookie. He also said that he liked the ambiance of the store, describing it as “a small, calm atmosphere and it is very pleasant.” A steady stream of people entered and exited the new location during the few hours of opening, which officials said was a welcomed surprise. “I am pleasantly surprised with the amount of traffic in store traffic that we’ve been

getting,” said Angel Le, the regional training manager. Ms. Le traveled from Reno, NV., to help with the new opening. While happy with the foot traffic they received during their launch, she said it made it a bit more difficult to coach people on the fly and get them used to the work. “I thought we would have a lot more downtime to be able to talk and get them ready for when it’s going to look like when it is busy and then it’s just crazy that this is our first day and stuff, but they’ve been fantastic,” Ms. Le said. Deliveries have also made a significant jump since the pandemic started, according to Ms. Le, and she expects the same to happen in Santa Barbara, along with the steady foot Please see INSOMNIA on A10

The Santa Barbara Unified School District launched a child care program with academic support services for children of essential staff members. The children receive assistance with distance learning and participate in group activities, maintaining social distancing while their parents are at work. There are two programs available for district staff: transitional kindergarten-eighth grade, with 170 students enrolled in the Academic Support Centers, and the Infant Childcare Center, with eight infants and toddlers. The Infant Childcare Center assists staff as well as teen parents who need child care to successfully engage in distance learning. Kathy Serrano runs the transitional kindergarten-eighth grade program, and works as the after-school programs coordinator at SB Unified. She said employees saw this as a need in the community. “The SBUSD staff has been working really hard all summer preparing for distance learning, and as full-time working mothers, we can relate to their need of having access to child care,� Ms. Serrano told the News-Press. “Having a safe place where students can get support with their own distance learning was something important for us to provide for the SBUSD staff. We understood that this would take a huge weight off of our staff’s shoulders, and in turn, they would be able to focus on providing the support that our SBUSD students need to have a successful distance learning experience.� The Academic Support Centers are free to all district employees, covered by existing grants. The Infant and Toddler Care program is free for the teen parents and offered on a sliding scale for employees. The programs began on Aug. 18, the first day of school for SB Unified students, and are intended to continue as long as distance learning is in place. Ms. Serrano’s method of providing this assistance while also avoiding spreading COVID-19 involves keeping families together, and cohorting them by the parents’ worksites. The transitional kindergarteneighth grade programs are

located at Franklin, Harding and McKinley elementary schools and Santa Barbara Community Academy. The Infant and Toddler programs are located at Santa Barbara High School. Ms. Serrano told the NewsPress she has no more than 12 students in each room, using tape to signal to the kids the space they’re allowed to be in. All rooms are completely sanitized each night. The Academic Support Centers provide each student with his/her own set of materials, devices and PPE. The adults walk around, while maintaining social distance, answering any questions the children have. Once the children finish their assignments, they participate in enrichment activities. Ms. Serrano said she tries to get them outside and running around as much as possible as weather allows. If it doesn’t, she said the kids do arts and crafts. Ms. Serrano’s own children are enrolled in the programs. “I don’t see it as us providing inperson education because we are not the ones providing or doing the actual teaching,� she said. “We’re supporting the distance learning, but the actual teaching is coming from credentialed distance teachers.� Vincente Belmonte is a custodian at Monroe Elementary

School. He has two daughters attending Harding’s Academic Support Center. “Without this program, I would have felt lost. I’m an essential worker. My wife is also an essential worker — she works for the U.S. Postal Service,� he told the News-Press. “Without this program, one of us would have had to stay at home with the children on a daily basis. That would have meant loss of income for our family, and we wouldn’t have been able to continue to provide the essential support that we provide to our community.� He added that the program gives him peace of mind knowing his kids are getting the support they need during this time of uncertainty. While the programs are only offered for district employees and teen parents, more support is coming for any parents with essential jobs who need it. “We are working with the United Way to create child care opportunities for district students who need a safe and supportive place to go during the school day,� Camie Barnwell, the public information officer for SB Unified, told the News-Press. “We will be sharing more details about these opportunities in the coming weeks.� email: gmccormick@newspress.com

As smoke from more than 700,000 acres of active wildfires billows through Santa Barbara, the air quality is getting worse and is predicted to continue over the next several days. The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department issued an air quality warning on Wednesday. As of Friday, the air from the entire coastal area from Santa Maria to Carpinteria reaching

east to Cuyama was rated 101-150 as unhealthy for sensitive groups, according to the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District. The district’s Twitter account reporting air quality updates wrote, “If you see/smell smoke, stay inside, stay cool, keep indoor air clean.� In attempts to avoid breathing in the polluted air, residents have reportedly been buying N95 masks. According to an employee at Home Depot in Goleta, people have been consistently purchasing N95 masks. He said it’s “not out of the ordinary.� Santa Barbara Mayor Cathy Murillo advised against the purchase of N95 masks, saying they need to be saved for essential workers such as farmworkers, according to KEYT-TV. To monitor air quality updates within the county, visit ourair.org/ todays-air-quality. Much of the smoke is coming from Monterey County, where the River and Carmel fires are currently burning, Lyz Hoffman, the county Air Pollution Control District public information officer, told the News-Press Thursday. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Fighting fraud Bank executive warns about scams during pandemic By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

S

ince Jan. 1, more than 109,000 people have reported COVID19-related fraud to the Federal Trade Commission with losses over $71.3 million. California is ranked second highest in the nation for claims of identity theft and fraud. Doris Roof can attest to the validity of the claims.

She has been with Montecito Bank & Trust for more than six years and was recently promoted to fraud manager because of her experience with various schemes. “Initially, the high fraud areas were in debit-card fraud and check fraud. A process was needed to follow the trends and monitor the fraudulent activity. Our department and the bank focus on preventing fraud, protecting and educating our customers about fraud and taking action when fraud occurs,” said

DAVE MASON/NEWS-PRESS

Mrs. Roof. She noted that fraud is different today than it was six years ago. “Since the pandemic began, tech support scams have become especially prevalent. With people being asked to stay at home and to work at home, they are spending more time at their computers. The scammers know this, and an email will be sent saying that a virus has been detected on the computer, and the person should click on the

link for support,” said Mrs. Roof. “Once you click on the link, scammers will have access to your computer. Do not click on the link. Sometimes deleting it doesn’t get rid of it. My advice is to turn off your computer and reboot. If you do click on the link, you may want to take your computer to have it serviced by someone you trust to see if access has been gained.” Check fraud has been a big issue in our area, according to Mrs. Roof.

“The scammers go ‘phishing’ or vacuuming for mail in boxes at private homes or the blue government boxes looking for envelopes that have some kind of payment in them like utilities, credit card companies, department stores, etc. They take the checks and ‘wash’ them by replacing the payee’s name with their own and changing the amount on the check,” said Mrs. Roof. “The (mail) boxes on Patterson Avenue that have been in the

news have been hit so many times, and so have the ones on Anacapa Street by the main Post Office. They have been targeted especially since March.” To avoid becoming a victim, she suggests dropping off mail in person at the post office or giving it to the mail carrier. With job layoffs and businesses closing, there has been an increase in work-from-home job offerings. Please see fraud on A6

At left, scammers have targeted the outdoor mailboxes for checks at U.S. post offices on Anacapa Street and elsewhere. The U.S. Postal Service has worked on installing more secure mailboxes.

‘Condor Comeback’

Racy texts from co-worker cause man’s wife concern

Santa Barbara Zoo team members featured in new book about California Condor

D

By BRIAN MACKLEY NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

New York Times best-selling author Sy Montgomery features several team members from the Santa Barbara Zoo who played key roles in the California Condor Recovery Program in her latest book, “Condor Comeback.â€? The California Condor Recovery Program is a multi-partner effort, led by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, to recover the endangered California condor. As the closest zoo geographically to the condor’s natural habitat, the Santa Barbara Zoo is one of only a handful of zoos to exhibit these endangered birds, and has been an active collaborator with the program since 2002. For the next installment in her award-winning Scientists in the Field series, the longtime friend of the Santa Barbara Zoo was inspired by the zoo team’s dedication to its work with the California Condor Recovery Program, so she decided to follow their journey in “Condor Comeback.â€? With color photography by Tianne Strombeck, “Condor Comebackâ€? covers the history of the bird’s fight back from extinction, the dangers of lead poisoning and the relationship between condors and the Chumash nation. â€œThis is a terrific time to share the thrilling success story of the condor comeback with readers of all ages,â€? Ms. Montgomery said in a statement. “At a time when we hunger for healing and connection, here we present one of the world’s most creative, collective and concentrated conservation efforts of all time.â€? According to the Santa Barbara Zoo, the last wild California condor was captured in April 1987 and was taken to live in captivity with the remaining 26 birds of its kind. â€œThrough the tireless work of condor program partners and stakeholders, the condor has been successfully bred in human care, been reintroduced after a period of extinction in the wild, has multiple generations of birds nesting in the wild, and has returned to historic breeding, nesting, and foraging habitat,â€? Dr. Estelle Sandhaus, director of conservation and science at the Santa Barbara Zoo, said in a statement. “Recovery is within our sights as we continue to partner with the community to reduce key anthropogenic threats, including the reduction of exposure to leadtainted meat through the use of non-lead alternatives to lead ammunition. â€œIt has been such a privilege

“Thanks to people with different backgrounds and different talents — from zookeepers to field biologists, from Chumash elders to eager schoolchildren — these magnificent birds are back in the sky in the hundreds,� author Sy Montgomery said in a statement. “But we’re still not done yet, and the book tells how readers can help.�

to work with Sy to bring this remarkable story of conservation partnerships and optimism to young readers all over the nation!� Zoo members featured in the book include Dr. Sandhaus, condor biologist Dave Meyer, conservation and science associate Nadya Seal, condor nest biologist Erin Arnold and birdkeeper Ellie Culip. “Conservation is one of our primary responsibilities as a zoo accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums, and we’re extremely lucky to have such an incredible, dedicated team,� Rich Block, CEO of the Santa Barbara Zoo, said in a statement. “We are thrilled that the team got to play such an important role in this book, and we can’t wait for our community to read all about it!� According to her website, Ms. Montgomery is perhaps best known for her 14-year love affair with Christopher Hogwood, a runt piglet who grew to a 750-pound great Buddha master. In addition to being a National Book Award

finalist, in the past she has been honored with a Sibert Medal, two Science Book and Film Prizes for the Advancement of Science, three honorary degrees and more â€œThanks to people with different backgrounds and different talents — from zookeepers to field biologists, from Chumash elders to eager schoolchildren — these magnificent birds are back in the sky in the hundreds,â€?

FYI “Condor Comeback� is available for purchase at the Santa Barbara Zoo’s gift shop or online on amazon or at https://www.sbzoovenirs.org/ products/condor-comeback. For more information about the author, visit symontgomery.com.

Never, ever give your personal information to anyone over the phone FRAUD

Continued from Page A5 “If the offer is to deposit a check that they will be sending you to purchase gift cards with the funds, don’t do it. Gift card scams are very common, and no legitimate business will ask for a gift card payment,� Mrs. Roof said. “The scammers will ask for the numbers on the gift card and will deplete the amount immediately. Never pay for a service or someone requesting payment by gift card. This is 100% fraud.� According to the ftc.gov website, online shopping/negative reviews and imposter scams were the top scams in Santa Barbara County as of June 30.

“Imposter scams can be someone from the IRS threatening action against you for not making a payment or a text stating to be your bank or Amazon and telling you to click on the link to receive additional information, hoping you will provide personal information such as your Social Security number, your debit or credit card numbers.â€? said Mrs. Roof, who offered the following tips and resources to avoid becoming a victim of fraud: • Never, ever give your personal information to anyone over the phone. • Report any cyber type of crime to www.ic3.gov, an FBI website. • If you believe you have been a victim of identity theft, notify

the Social Security office and three major credit bureaus — Experian, Equifax and TransUnion — immediately. Montecito Bank & Trust has a program, “Fraud Fight Recognition,â€? which recognizes employees who have prevented fraud from occurring to the customer because they noticed “red flags.â€? “For example, if a customer withdraws an amount that is unusual — $3,000 instead of $500 — anything out of the ordinary, we will question,â€? Mrs. Roof said. â€œWe recently prevented a $50,000 wire transaction scam. We were able to retrieve the amount, which is very rare.â€? email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

LIFE

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS

“Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.� — Winston Churchill

ARIES — There’s a fiery tone to the day that can’t be ignored, Aries. You may find that adjustments need to be made in your own plan of attack in order to get on the same page with other people. Don’t worry if things don’t go according to your plans. In fact, the best route to take is the one that wasn’t even planned. Do something that you’ve never done before. TAURUS — There’s an extra spark in your eye that people won’t be able to ignore. Today’s a good day to get your point across, because you’ll find people more open and receptive to new things than usual. Speak with confidence and you’ll go far. It’s important for you to say what you feel. If you don’t, others will find reasons to walk all over you. GEMINI — Take yourself on a mental adventure today in which you explore new aspects of your world. Discuss philosophy and religion. Get to the core of a matter that seriously interests you. Now is a good time to consider taking classes or engaging in some form of higher learning. Your emotions come from a point of great power and you should use this energy wisely. CANCER — Today is your day, Cancer, so live it up! If it seems like things have been rather intense lately, don’t worry, they’re apt to lighten up quite a bit today. Feel free to be your usual jolly self, the one who adds humor to the group. Your laughter will be appreciated. Come into the forefront. Bring things up to your level and you’ll find that others willingly join you there. LEO — Be careful that you aren’t acting in a way that you dislike in others, Leo. You could find that you’re slowly taking on the traits of the people you despise. Lighten up a bit and put a smile on your face. If you continue to see the negative side of everything, it’s likely that other people will only see the negative side of you. VIRGO — The day’s general mood should fit quite well with your agenda, Virgo. There’s no need to fixate on the negative. Keep things light and upbeat and worry about the consequences later. This is the time to be adventurous and explore. Don’t let anyone else tell you how to run your show. You have a strong will and strong opinions, so don’t be afraid to express either. +*#!2 +1$)"$LIBRA — You may need a translator to get through to people

today, Libra. It could be hard to make decisions, but not impossible. Today’s tip is to err on the side of adventure. Trust that good luck will pull you through if you take risks. You may feel unappreciated. Ask for help when you need it, but don’t rely on others to heal you. Most of this work needs to come from within. SCORPIO — Use your power resources today, Scorpio, as you have a great deal of dynamic energy at your disposal. You have the ability to transform and conquer anything now. Note that your spirit of adventure is apt to be more acute than normal, and you may be feeling quite anxious to get things rolling in a new direction. Don’t hold back. Now is the time to do things full force. SAGITTARIUS — You could be asked to make some spontaneous decisions today that you might not feel entirely comfortable making, Sagittarius. You could feel you don’t have enough facts to make an educated decision about what to do next. Realize that sometimes it’s necessary to bite the bullet and make the best choice based on the knowledge you have. Be adventurous and trust your judgment. CAPRICORN — Emotionally, you may feel as if you’re running up against a brick wall, Capricorn. It could be that your first reaction is to drown your sorrows in drink. Escapism is only a temporary remedy. If things slam in your face today, use this as an indication that you need to take necessary action. Don’t keep bouncing around from one thing to the next in order to avoid the obvious. Face the music. AQUARIUS — Your emotions could be extra powerful today, Aquarius, although something may not feel as if it’s sitting right. It could be a feeling of manipulation. Perhaps you’ve misjudged someone else’s sensitivity and now they’re working to get back at you in a subtle yet harmful way. Attend to your feelings and spend time alone if it helps you get more in tune with your emotions. PISCES — Take hold of this day as if it’s your own and use it to grow your dreams, Pisces. You’ll find a great deal of power and dynamism in the air urging you to take the adventurous route. There’s no need to hold back. The door is open and waiting for you to take the leap of faith to the other side. Don’t even worry about consequences now. Your good luck will pull you safely through.

Codeword is a fun game with simple rules, and a great way to test your knowledge of the English language. Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BOARD OF SUPERVISORS COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA Tuesday, September 1, 2020 The meeting starts at 9:00 a.m.

This project was heard and approved at the County Planning Commission on May 27, 2020. Two appeals were ďŹ led within the 10 day appeal period, by the Gaviota Coast Conservancy and the Coastal Ranches Conservancy. The project is a request to authorize the replacement of an existing culvert off US Highway 101 in the CaĂąada del Barro drainage on the Gaviota Coast that has excessive cracking, spalling, and moderate scour behind and underneath the existing left inlet wingwall. The existing culvert is a 6’ x 6’ reinforced concrete box (RCB) and 72-inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) drainage facility and would be replaced with a 72-inch alternative pipe culvert. The new culvert alignment would be located just west of the existing culvert alignment off US 101 near Postmile 45.5 (PM 45.5). The existing culvert would be ďŹ lled with grout and abandoned in place. The replacement culvert would be approximately 506 feet long and would include Rock Slope Protection (RSP), an endwall and wingwalls at the outlet, and a headwall at the inlet. The existing local road and sink hole above the inlet would also be repaired. Temporary access roads are proposed during construction. Grading includes approximately 4,610 cubic yards of cut and 5,050 cubic yards of ďŹ ll, with an approximate total area disturbed by grading of 40,200 square feet. The maximum vertical height of the cut and ďŹ ll slopes is 30 feet. This project is located on three parcels zoned REC (APN No. 081-130-054, 081-130-072, 081-270-011), and CalTrans Right of Way (zoned TC) off Highway 101 in the Gaviota Coast Plan area, Third Supervisorial District. For additional information, please contact Ciara Ristig, the project planner, at cristig@co.santabarbara.ca.usor 805-568-2077.

NAIA removes GSAC as host of next season’s soccer championship By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

A bye into the Sweet 16 of NAIA men’s soccer just went bye-bye for Westmont College’s league. The NAIA was forced to remove the Golden State Athletic Conference as the host and the Great Park of Irvine as the site of next season’s national tournament after the dates for the fall event were changed to May 4-10 because of the coronavirus. The GSAC “was unable to work out a schedule with the Great Park for the new dates,� a league spokesperson explained. The NAIA moved its national site to Blanchard Woods Park in Evans, Ga., although it did commit to returning to Great Park the following season to complete its three-year contract with the GSAC. Westmont received a bye into last year’s Sweet 16 at Great Park after winning the league’s regularseason championship. “We got passage right to the final site,� said Dave Wolf, who will be entering his 30th season as the Warriors’ coach when competition resumes. “No doubt, this has a heavy impact for our league.� The 62nd annual Men’s Soccer National Championship will begin with the opening two rounds at 10 campus sites on April 22 and 24 before moving to Georgia for the final four rounds. The NAIA also moved three other fall championships. Women’s soccer will hold its opening rounds on April 15-17 before moving to its national site in Foley, Ala. on April 27-May 3. The national tournament for women’s volleyball will begin April 27 before moving to Sioux City, Iowa on April 27-May 1. The cross country championships for

‘Sundays with the Symphony’ continues SANTA BARBARA — The upcoming broadcast of the Santa Barbara Symphony’s online series “Sundays with the Symphony� will present performances by students and alumni from the organization’s Music Education Center. The center is a continuum of connected programs helping students through their musical journey and teaching them to be their best through music. Sunday’s episode will include the center’s beginner level Camerata Ensemble, intermediate Philharmonia Orchestra, and advanced Youth Symphony. The episode will also include a clip from Lorenzo DeStefano’s documentary “Hearing is Believing,� which shows a collaborative project between the Youth Symphony and local composer Rachel Flowers, as well as a section featuring Music Education Center graduates who have gone on to begin professional music careers. According to Santa Barbara Symphony music and artistic director Nir Kabaretti, the episode’s focus on music education is meant to recognize the efforts of Music Education Center students and their adaptability as they continue their musical learning through remote classes. “It has been incredible to

both men and women will be held on April 9 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The NAIA still hopes to start men’s and women’s basketball season during the fall. Westmont’s current plan is to resume in-person instruction on Sept. 28, with its soccer teams holding their first practices on Oct. 5. “That’s the tentative timeline sent out to the coaching staff and players,� Wolf said. “But obviously, after having been through this for multiple months, we understand that maximum flexibility has to be built into everything we plan.� He’s anxious to resume workouts after having graduated three All-Americans from last year’s team: center defender Tim Heiduk, goalkeeper Lalo Delgado, and midfielder Francisco Castro. Heiduk was voted GSAC Player of the year after the Warriors went 7-0-1 in league play and 13-3-1 overall. “We had a terrific senior class,� Wolf said. “No doubt, we have some really incredible players to replace.� Westmont does have a pair of All-GSAC players — leading scorer Tyler Young and center defender Zach Godeck, both from Buena High School — among its 17 returnees. Wolf has also added a recruiting class of 10 players. “One thing you always want to do is keep your momentum going,� he said. “The pandemic has obviously disrupted that, but it has for everyone else, as well. “Our roster is also going to look a lot different. I suppose it’s possible that the delay or postponement of the season may actually give your first-year players a little more acclimation time.� email: mpatton@newspress.com watch how our young musicians have adjusted to the pandemic through creative virtual activity. This demonstrates to us just how critical music is, and its ability to keep our community connected against all odds,� Mr. Kabaretti said. “Sundays with the Symphony� will begin at 3:30 p.m. PDT on Sunday on the Santa Barbara Symphony, website thesymphony. org. — Josh Grega

traffic. “We’re starting to stabilize and get that foot traffic business back if not a little bit more,” Ms. Le said. She added that she will continue training the workers over the next few days, helping them get acclimated to the job. She has also enjoyed her time in Santa Barbara. “This is my first time here and I think it’s adorable. I mean other than like the fires going on and the smoke and stuff like that… this location is amazing and I’m excited for them,” Ms. Le said. Tom Causona, chief marketing officer, told the News-Press that Insomnia is looking forward to serving the local community. “We’re looking forward to connecting with the city of Santa Barbara, and learning more about the community around us. Insomnia Cookies got our start at a university and have served students for many years, so we’re excited to connect with the students in local schools and welcome more Insomniacs to the community,” Mr. Carusona told the News-Press over email. Starr Moon had no idea that it was Insomnia Cookies’ first day in Santa Barbara when she

entered the store on Friday. In fact, there was one thing that caught her eye. “It said cookies,” Ms. Moon said with a laugh, pointing to the sign right outside the building. “That really caught our attention because we were thinking about what we wanted to snack on.” Ms. Moon traveled to Santa Barbara from Ventura alongside her three sons. “We were going to go to Main Street in Ventura but we decided to go a little bit further and come to State Street because… (it’s) the same vibe. I’m glad that we came though it’s nice out here and there are not a lot of people,” Ms. Moon said. The family ordered a brownie, a chocolate chip walnut cookie, as well as a cookiewich. “It looks really good. I can’t wait,” her son said. Some of the deals Insomnia has in its opening week include mentioning its special one free traditional cookie deal in-store and free delivery on your first order with code FREE4SB, both of which run through Aug. 27.

Stanislaus, Tulare and Yolo counties. Mr. DeAngelo pleaded guilty in June and admitted to have committed 13 counts of murder, burglaries, kidnappings and dozens of rapes in the 1970s and 1980s. The decision by prosecutors to accept his offer to plead guilty to the 26 crimes and admit the uncharged crimes was made in consultation with the victims and their family members, authorities said. He admitted to the following murders that occurred at the following times and locations: Claude Snelling, Sept. 11, 1975, Tulare County; Katie and Brian Maggiore, Feb. 2, 1978, Sacramento County; Debra Alexandria Manning, Dec. 30, 1979, Santa Barbara County; Robert Offerman, Dec. 30, 1979, Santa Barbara County; Cheri Domingo, July 27, 1981, Santa Barbara County; Greg Sanchez, July 27, 1981, Santa Barbara County; Charlene and Lyman Smith, on or about March 13, 1980, Ventura County; Keith and Patrice Harrington, Aug. 21, 1980, Orange County; Manuela Witthuhn, Feb. 6, 1981, Orange County; Janelle Cruz, May 5, 1986, Orange County. Mr. DeAngelo’s crime spree began in 1975 when he was working as a police officer with the Exeter Police Department. The crimes, which continued long after he was fired from the Auburn Police Department in 1979, escalated from peeping through windows to stalking, to rape and serial murder. According to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department, Mr. DeAngelo’s crime spree in Santa Barbara County is believed to have started in October of 1989. A couple was attacked while they slept in their home near Goleta. Both victims managed to escape, but the suspect fled the scene on a stolen bicycle and evaded capture. Two months later, Dr. Offerman, an orthopedic surgeon, and Dr.

Manning, a psychologist, were brutally murdered in their condo near Goleta. Two years later, Mr. Sanchez and Ms. Domingo were also found brutally murdered in a home in the 400 block of Toltec Way in Goleta where Ms. Domingo was housesitting. In 2011, DNA evidence linked this double homicide to other crimes committed by Mr. DeAngelo. His crimes earned him the nicknames of the Visalia Ransacker, the East Area Rapist, the Original Night Stalker and the Golden State Killer. The case involved more than 1.3 million pages of discovery and “would have unduly burdened the victims with a lengthy prosecution that was anticipated to take as many as 10 years. The sentencing came after three days of victims and their loved ones describing the impact of the crimes to the court, community and defendant,” according to a statement from Ms. Dudley’s office. Before being sentenced by Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Michael Bowman, Mr. DeAngelo made a brief statement. “I’ve listened to all of your statements, each one of ’em ... and I am truly sorry to everyone I’ve hurt,” he said. Immediately after Mr. DeAgelo’s remarks, Judge Bowman said he understood that prosecutors agreed not to pursue a death penalty trial so that aging victims could see him convicted. The judge clarified that “the court is not saying that Mr. DeAnglo does not deserve to have the death penalty imposed.” “It merely means the court feels it would never come to pass,” he said. “Mr. DeAngelo will spend the rest of his natural life, and ultimately meet his death, confined behind the walls of the state penitentiary.” The judge went on to explain that he has listened for the past three days from the people Mr. DeAngelo terrorized, as well as their friends and family, and the impact statements will always be with him.

Santa Barbara’s newest lifestyle hotel Mar Monte Hotel offers a new take on Santa Barbara getaway By JORGE MERCADO NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

In a time where people can use a bit of a safe getaway, locals and tourists just got a new location to relax and take in the ocean views. The Mar Monte Hotel, at 1111 E. Cabrillo Blvd., opened its doors Monday and staff could not be more excited to provide the best service it can. “As Santa Barbara’s newest lifestyle hotel, we seek to embody the Santa Barbara spirit in all that we do and showcase our community through memorable experiences. Whether guests are in for a weekend getaway, a quick dip in the pool or booking one of our venues for a microwedding, Mar Monte Hotel’s goal is to provide a new take on a Santa Barbara stay,” Ingrid Braun, the general manager of the Mar Monte Hotel, told the News-Press in an email. Before the grand opening, the 200-room hotel went through renovation, now encompassing a reincarnation of the historic 1930s Vista Mar Monte. The entire property has

been transformed with modern amenities and designed to establish a style of contemporary Santa Barbara, according to Ms. Braun. “The hotel’s spaces effortlessly flow from indoors to outdoors across three acres of Spanishinfluenced grounds, from the hotel lobby and living room, to meeting & event spaces, dining concepts and outdoor terraces,” Ms. Braun said. The hotel will not be offering live music or indoor restaurants as of yet due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the hotel’s poolside Mediterranean restaurant, Café Lido, is open for outdoor dining. “With sustainable, farm-fresh ingredients, Café Lido is the perfect choice for any time of the day with unbeatable beachfront views,” Ms. Braun said. She added that the hotel hopes to soon open its new restaurant, Costa. The restaurant will be an Italian-inspired indoor dining concept. Opening any new business during a pandemic seems like an odd choice, but Ms. Braun said she is both thrilled and excited to

PARDO-RUIZ, Teofila “Carmela”

Teofila Pardo-Ruiz, also known as Carmela, passed away on Friday July 31st in Carpinteria from complications of COVID-19. Although petite in size, Carmela stood tall with her outgoing personality and caring heart. She was energetic, had a witty sense of humor and knew how to dress in style. Carmela was born on October 13, 1933 in Guijosa, a small village near Madrid in Spain. Here she grew up with her parents and two brothers. She loved taking care of their animals and being of help to her father.

Carmela had an independent and adventurous nature. She left Spain at a young age and traveled to Australia and Japan before settling down in California. A longtime resident of Santa Barbara, she attended Santa Barbara City College and worked as a seamstress and housekeeper. She loved animals, especially her favorite dog Mickey. Carmela was a parishioner of the Lady of Sorrows Church, and she made many lifelong friends. The last 4 years of her life were spent in Carpinteria, where she was a resident of GranVida. Carmela will be forever in our hearts and deeply missed by her friends and family. Services were held at Our Lady of Sorrows Church on Monday August 17th. Donations in Carmela’s memory can be made to the Santa Barbara Humane Society.

have the hotel open. Since opening, Ms. Braun said she has received positive reception from people across the area, even during the construction period. Despite the current situation, she is also very confident people will come to the hotel looking for something new and something no other hospitality business in Santa Barbara offers. “Mar Monte is rooted in providing authentic service for our community and showcasing all the city has to offer. Especially in times like these, we want to be a peaceful break from reality for locals and guests alike through our unmatched offerings and hospitality. With our continued emphasis on staff training and property-wide safety initiatives, I am confident Mar Monte Hotel will exceed guest’s expectations,” Ms. Braun said. The hotel will be following every protocol required, offering constant cleaning and disinfecting while also providing sanitation options for the guests. “Mar Monte Hotel is thrilled to open our doors to locals and

travelers seeking that much needed escape and our number one priority is the safety of our guests and staff,” Ms. Braun said. “The staff is excited to be a part of something new especially given our industry’s current climate.” Despite the fact that the hotel was partially open during construction, nothing compares to the full grand opening the Mar Monte is experiencing now. “I cannot think of a time in my hospitality career where it meant more to be able to create that escape from everyday life. While Mar Monte stayed open as construction was happening, there were days we had very few guests in house and there was just a handful of us here to watch over,” Ms. Braun said. She also believes her staff will create a wonderful ambiance for anyone who decides to spend a night. “We have many passionate hospitality professionals on the team, and it is great to see Mar Monte Hotel come to life and work its magic,” Ms. Braun said. email: jmercado@newspress.com

SARAGOSA, Trinidad John

Trinidad “Trini” John Saragosa native Carpinterian passed away 8/4/2020. He was born 11/27/1924 in his parents home on 7th Street. He is predeceased by his wife of 63 years, Esther B. Saragosa. He is survived by his 5 children, Ruben J. Saragosa (Ginger) of Oxnard, Sylvia Raygoza (Jesse) of San Francisco, Edward Saragosa (Kathy) of Carpinteria, Marlena Trussell (Doug) of Olympia, WA, and Robert Saragosa of Honolulu, HI. They had 10 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. Trini was a U.S. Army WWII Veteran. He was severely wounded by sniper fire after the Battle of the Bulge and was awarded a Purple Heart and Victory medal. He was a transportation specialist. He returned to Carpinteria and worked in a local produce packing house before he married Esther in November of 1953. He would later work for the Carpinteria Unified School District from which he would retire. He also had a side business as a commercial painting contractor. Trini & Esther were also active parishioners of Saint Joseph’s Church. Trini would perform usher and collection duties at nearly every mass he attended. They both provided time and delicious enchiladas to the annual carnival. Trini also assisted his 3 sons in the parish’s Boy Scout Troop. When not beautifying their home, their home held many barbecues and family gatherings. Trini & Esther were avid cruisers, and enjoyed trips with a local senior group. The family would like to extend deep thanks and praise to the staff of Aegis of Ventura for their care of their father over the last 3.5 years. The family will have a celebration of life for Trini in the future. A future when the pandemic has passed and large families such as ours can gather again. We look forward to that day.

Mr. DeAngelo, bottom, wore a face covering during his sentence Friday at the Sacramento State University ballroom. The sentencing was relocated in order to accommodate the large number of victims and their family members and to ensure social distancing due to COVID-19.

“I know whatever words I say today will pale in comparison to the words the survivors have spoken, but they need to be said,” Judge Bowman said. “The fundamental principle of law that justice delayed is justice denied is no truer than in this case. “As I listened to the survivors and watched you, I couldn’t help but wondering, ‘What are you thinking?’ ” Judge Bowman told Mr. DeAngelo. “Are you capable of comprehending the pain and anguish you have caused?’ ” The judge then shared a quote from California author John Steinbeck and stated, in part, “You must not forget that a monster is only a variation, and that to a

monster the norm is monstrous.” “Mr. Steinbeck seems to think that monsters are born and not created — I’m not so sure (of that) — but one thing I do know is when a person commits monstrous acts, they need to be locked away where they can never harm another innocent person,” Judge Bowman said. “It is my sincere hope that with the opportunity to be heard these last few days and the sentence to be imposed, the survivors will find some resolution, find some peace, and hopefully find some justice, however imperfect.” email: mwhite@newspress.com
