20 years since 9/11 Local officials reflect on the day that changed America forever By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

KENNETH SONG / NEWS-PRESS FILE PHOTO

In tribute to the 2,996 victims who lost their lives in the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, thousands of flags were placed on the lawn at Rancho del Cielo on the Santa Ynez Mountain range last year. Today marks 20 years since the 9/11 attacks.

Like so many other Americans, Santa Barbara Interim Police Chief Bernard Melekian can remember exactly where he was on Sept. 11, 2001. It was just before 6 a.m. that morning when Chief Melekian was awakened by a call from his then-fiancée (who is now his wife) telling him to turn on the TV right away. A plane had just crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City. As he stood in front of the TV watching smoke billow from the North Tower of the World Trade Center, Chief Melekian saw the second plane crash into the South

Tower. “That’s when I realized we were under attack,” he told the News-Press. Today marks 20 years since the tragic 9/11 attacks, which took the lives of 2,996 individuals after militants associated with the Islamic extremist group al Queda hijacked four planes to carry out a terrorist attack in the United States. Two of the hijacked planes crashed into the Twin Towers in New York City, one crashed into the Pentagon and the other was downed in Shanksville, Pen., after passengers stormed the plane’s cockpit to prevent another attack. Throughout this week, multiple Santa Barbara officials reflected on 9/11

Birds of a feather

during interviews with the News-Press, recalling moments in the days, weeks and years following the attack that changed American history. In the days after the 9/11 attack, Chief Melekian, who at the time was the police chief for the City of Pasadena, recalled the chaos that ensued in Los Angeles. He said he remembers multiple reports began circulating about inbound aircraft failing to respond, which authorities believed could be a threat to the city. Fortunately, none of these reports ended up being true. Chief Melekian also remembered checking on an Islamic school in Pasadena in the hours following the 9/11 attack, Please see 20 YEARS on A4

Hotels do well over Labor Day Weekend Report: Occupancy at 86%, outperforming competing destinations By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Hotel occupancy reached 86% over Labor Day Weekend according to a report delivered to Visit Santa Barbara this week, indicating that interest in the region remains high among visitors and vacationers as the tourism industry begins its road to recovery. Santa Barbara was bustling over Labor Day Weekend, with tourists and locals alike populating the city’s various attractions, retail stores and restaurants to soak up the last of summer. With many visitors using the weekend to take one last summer trip, Labor Day Weekend brought benefits for hoteliers who are still in the process of recovering revenue after a tough pandemic year. On Thursday, Visit Santa Barbara received a report conducted by STR, an independent hotel reporting firm, that showcased performance data from Labor Day Weekend. According to Visit Santa Barbara, hotels in Goleta, Santa Barbara and Montecito continue to outcompete competing leisure destinations, and this weekend’s performance met the organization’s expectations. The results of the report, which were summarized in an email from Visit Santa Barbara, found that hotel stays were down 8% last week compared to 2019, while hotel rates were 31% higher than 2019. The report discovered that the average daily rate for a hotel stay was $412 over the holiday weekend. In addition, the report discovered that the region continues to attract people visiting for a vacation or to attend weddings, while business travel and meeting travel are on a slower track to recovery. During the pandemic, the majority of visitors to Santa Barbara came from within California, with half coming from Southern California, Visit Santa Barbara President/CEO Kathy Janega-Dykes told the News-Press in an email. When flights began to rebound in the spring and Southwest Airlines began service to Santa Barbara Airport, Ms. Janega-Dykes said the region started to see an uptick in the number of out-of-state visitors, though in-state visitors are still Santa Barbara’s primary market. While Thursday’s report indicated that the region’s hotel industry is still climbing back to Please see HOTELS on A3

NEWS-PRESS ENDORSEMENTS

News-Press supports recall, endorses Larry Elder COURTESY PHOTO

Vote YES on the recall of Gavin

Newsom — possibly the WORST governor the state has ever had. We need an adult leader who doesn’t have two sets of rules — “one for me and one for thee.” We need a leader who will bring this state back from the depths of disaster.

Vote for LARRY ELDER. His brilliance and commonsense solutions will save California from the terrible state we are now in — from the “homelessness” problems to the education system and everything in between that has been ruined by prior governors.

The decedent resided in Santa Maria. Of the 132 COVID-19 cases, the highest number, 53, was reported in Santa Maria. The neighboring community of Orcutt had 16

cases. Elsewhere, there were 20 cases in the area of Lompoc, Vandenberg Village and Mission Hills. Seventeen cases were documented in Santa Barbara and unincorporated Mission Canyon.

TRAFFIC, CRIME AND FIRE BLOTTER Man arrested on suspicion of burglary SANTA BARBARA — Santa Barbara police Wednesday arrested a man suspected of being a rooftop burglar. Joel P. Morelos Jr., 37, of Santa Barbara, was allegedly on the roof of a jewelry store in the 600 block of North Milpas Street. He was dressed in all black clothing and wearing a black ski-type mask, Sgt. Ethan Ragsdale said in a news release that the News-Press received Friday. The Santa Barbara Police Combined Communications

Center received the report from a community member about the suspect at 10:40 p.m. Wednesday. The community member told police they could see the subject allegedly using power tools to cut into the rooftop. Several officers covertly responded to the area to set up a perimeter to prevent the suspect from potentially fleeing. The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office responded with a police K-9 to assist. The business being burgled has a large roof top that connects with several other businesses in that block. The suspect, Mr. Morelos, learned of the officers’ presence and started running back and forth on the large roof

to escape, according to Sgt. Ragsdale. During this time, Mr. Morelos reportedly was able to partially gain access to another local business through a large rooftop air vent in an attempt to evade. Officers gained access to the roof and after a short rooftop foot pursuit, apprehended Mr. Morelos. Officers located numerous burglary tools that Mr. Morelos was allegedly using. Mr. Morelos was arrested approximately 40 minutes after the initial call was received by a Santa Barbara police dispatcher. Detectives were called to assist in this case and learned Mr. Morelos may be connected to additional,

similar burglaries in Santa Barbara. Mr. Morelos was booked at the Santa Barbara County Jail on suspicion of attempted burglary (felony), looting/theft during a state of emergency (felony), vandalism (felony), resisting arrest (misdemeanor), providing a false name (misdemeanor), and possession of burglary tools (misdemeanor). Mr. Morelos is being held on $500,000 bail. The other potential related burglaries are currently under investigation, and Sgt. Ragsdale said no other information could be released at this time.

Business and meeting travel lag behind in recovery HOTELS

Continued from Page A1 pre-pandemic levels, Ms. JanegaDykes said she is “grateful that our recovery continues to outpace our competitors.” “Investments in destination marketing, air service development at Santa Barbara Airport and improvements to the State Street experience have given our community a muchneeded advantage,” Ms. JanegaDykes added. “While visitors have not yet returned to the levels seen before the pandemic, the local hospitality industry has learned

to adapt and thrive throughout the most challenging and unpredictable of circumstances.” Heading into the latter half of the year, Visit Santa Barbara officials say they expect to see a decline in tourism in the fall and winter months, which is a typical seasonal pattern the industry sees every year in the U.S. Ms. JanegaDykes said questions remain regarding whether leisure travel will remain strong and when the region will see a comeback in business and meetings travel — all of which is uncertain at this point. But despite this uncertainty, Ms. Janega-Dykes said she remains

“Investments in destination marketing, air service development at Santa Barbara Airport and improvements to the State Street experience have given our community a much-needed advantage.”

hopeful that things will continue to improve in the region. She added that in addition to vacation travel, the region has seen a boost thanks to wedding celebrations that have returned “with a vengeance,” as brides and grooms no longer want to delay their major life events. “In general, August performed better than we thought it would, and last fall came together nicely, so let’s just say I am cautiously optimistic today,” Ms. JanegaDykes said. “In the meantime, Visit Santa Barbara is doing everything we can to make this fall successful—from aggressively pursuing meetings bookings to strategically targeting our advertising to reach would-be travelers.” email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

‘It was the defining moment, really, of our generation in terms of bringing people together’ 20 YEARS

Continued from Page A1 communicating with staff to ensure the school was not receiving threats of vandalism or harassment. Looking back now, Chief Melekian said the school never experienced any backlash or threats, only messages from community members asking how they could help ensure the school stayed safe. “I’ve always been proud of Pasadena for that fact,” Chief Melekian said. While serving in his role in Pasadena, Chief Melekian became one of three police chiefs mobilized for military service in the aftermath of 9/11. In 2003, the police chief was called to active duty and spent most of the year with the U.S. Coast Guard maritime security that patrolled the Pacific Coast. After completing his service, he returned to Pasadena to resume his role as chief. When thinking back to 9/11 on the 20 year anniversary, Chief Melekian said it’s important to remember those who lost their lives in the attacks and the unity that followed among American citizens. “One of the things that struck me in the weeks that followed 9/11 was this sense of national unity and commitment to service,” Mr. Melekian said. “And clearly, some of that has dissolved, maybe a lot of it has dissolved. (People) talk about the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and military service and geopolitics, but I think it’s important to remember that the significance of that day was that 412 first responders and 44 passengers on flight 93 made a decision to do the best that they could to help this country and they paid for it with their lives.” “To me, that is what 9/11 is about, remembering that.” In the 20 years since 9/11, millions of Americans have grown up in a world that was forever changed by terror. Millions of youth and teens today were not even alive when the attacks occurred, but have grown up in a country that changed drastically in the aftermath of that tragic day. It’s for this reason that Americans must take time to remember the attacks, Sheriff Bill Brown of the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office told the News-Press, so that citizens may never forget the men, women and children who lost their lives in the tragic event and in the war that followed. “(The attacks) changed American life in general,” Sheriff Brown said. “I think that we certainly don’t travel the same way, and in some ways, there’s been some polarization when it comes to immigration and border protection. The world changed on Sept. 11, and we put a tremendous amount of more resources and energy and focus on counterterrorism.” “For us in law enforcement, we put much more of a focus on homeland security, recognizing that we are now an element of keeping the community safe from those threats,” he

continued. “And we need to be using the networks and the contact and the experience that we have with our local community to make sure we are the eyes and ears to determine if there is anyone who could be causing a threat.” Sheriff Brown said he too remembers being awakened by a phone call from a family friend 20 years ago today, which alerted him of the attack on the World Trade Center. He watched on TV as the second plane hit the tower, and said that even today, it is the “most shocking and sad thing” he has ever witnessed. He noted that the day brings back a lot of emotions for him, particularly as he recalls watching the brave cops, firefighters and first responders who rushed toward the disaster when everyone else was frantically fleeing. “Seeing the video footage of people escaping down the stairwells and seeing cops and firefighters going the other way to rescue people was very moving and very touching, and we know that those people that we were seeing on those videos perished in that terrible tragedy,” the Sheriff said. Sheriff Brown also reflected on the efforts of the nation’s armed forces and intelligence agencies to tackle terrorism in the U.S. and abroad. He expressed gratitude for the more than 7,000 servicemembers who were killed in post-9/11 war operations, saying “their work has kept our country safe.” “We have not seen a major terrorist attack on our homeland since the World Trade Center (attack), and it’s a direct result of what those intelligence operatives and what those military servicemembers have done,” he said. As a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps and the Gulf War, Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, said he could relate to the anger many servicemembers felt in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks and shared the resoluteness to hold those who perpetrated the attack accountable. Thinking back on that day now, he says he remembers thinking how “unfathomable” it was to watch as the attack was carried out on U.S. soil and recalled the pain he felt over the devastating loss of life. “I remember just being so in shock and reflecting on the loss of lives of Americans that we were experiencing, and couldn’t help but to think of all the families and all the victims,” Rep. Carbajal told the NewsPress. As the U.S. entered the War on Terror, Rep. Carbajal said he realized the sacrifice many men and women in the armed services would make to ensure an attack like this never happened on American soil again. “Being a veteran, you can’t help but to understand the sacrifice that our servicemen and women were no doubt going to embark on to hold those accountable that perpetrated this attack on the U.S. and the sacrifices they and their family would be making in light

of the loss that we experienced on 9/11,” Rep. Carbajal said. “I think the kinship that I share with veterans, with my brothers and sisters in the military, and the need to defend our country and to hold those who perpetrated such an attack accountable is what crosses my mind (when reflecting).” During his reflection, Rep. Carbajal remembered the thousands of first responders who performed rescues, recoveries, demolition and debris clean up after the attack and suffered from terminal illness as a result. According to a report from 2018, about 16,000 Ground Zero responders suffered illness as a result of responding to the attacks, and that number has likely grown. To help these victims and their families, Rep. Carbajal noted that during his tenure in Congress, legislation was passed that authorized the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund to run through 2092. The fund will compensate individuals who were injured in the 2001 attacks as a result of rescuing individuals and removing debris in hazardous conditions. While Rep. Carbajal said there is always more that can be done to honor first responders, he is proud of the steps Congress has taken thus far. Looking to the future, Rep. Carbajal said the nation “must remember so we don’t forget.” He noted that 9/11 is a reminder of the “great care we have to take” to protect the lives of American citizens from both foreign and domestic terror. The representative said citizens “don’t need to look farther than the Jan. 6 insurrection to see the type of extremists in our country that we need to be mindful of.” Chief Melekian, Sheriff Brown and Rep. Carbajal will all be in attendance at the 9/11 memorial event taking place at the Courthouse this morning. The event begins at 9 a.m, and members of the public planning to attend are encouraged to bring folding chairs or blankets due to limited seating. Ahead of this morning’s event, Sheriff Brown said he hopes the ceremony will be a reminder of how united the country was in the aftermath of the attacks during this current time when much of the nation is divided. “As we hit the 20-year mark since 9/11, there are now many Americans —young people, teenagers — who weren’t alive at the time and didn’t have a personal connection to what happened,” he said. “They didn’t see the spirit of the American people coming together… it was the defining moment, really, of our generation in terms of bringing people together, bringing Americans together.” “I hope that we can see that happen somehow. We’re very polarized right now, we’re very divided, and maybe by reflecting on 9/11 and what happened, maybe we can get back toward the middle and come together again.” email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

BEUST, Gail Johnson

Mother, grandmother, volunteer, animal lover and former real estate agent Gail Johnson Beust passed away on Saturday, July 17th at her home in Santa Barbara. She was 88. Gail was born, raised, and educated in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, attending Mary Baldwin College. The daughter of Gale Lloyd Leap and Rose Toscano Leap of Waynesboro, Virginia. At a very young age Gail developed a love of animals and nature often telling detailed stories about her pets and the time she borrowed her neighbor’s horse. Gail grew up surrounded by animals and was particularly fond of horses. She was fortunate enough to own several horses and was especially fond of “Wink” that she owned while in Concord living in the Annursnac Hill neighborhood. Mother’s Day 2021 was especially memorable, Gail planned a long weekend at The Alisal Ranch in Santa Ynez and Gail, Greg and Jay went on a 2-hour trail ride. Gail moved to Plainfield, New Jersey with her mother, Rose, and sister, Angela, in the late 1950s. Rose opened a dress shop and Gail had a dream of being a stewardess for United Airlines. She wore glasses which immediately disqualified her for the job but was encouraged to apply for a regional ticket office in Newark. She quickly demonstrated her natural ability for sales and customer service and was promoted to the Manhattan ticket office eventually moving to lower Manhattan. It was in New York that she met and then soon married Raymond Earle Johnson. They loved living in the “Village” and enjoyed all that New York had to offer. Ray was in advertising and was promoted and accepted a position in Houston, Texas. Greg Johnson was born in Houston in 1964 and soon thereafter Ray was asked to move back to the New York office and the family moved to Ridgefield, Connecticut. Jay Johnson was born in 1967. The family then moved to Concord, Massachusetts when Ray was promoted to the Boston office. The family lived in Concord for 16 years enjoying the Annursnac Hill neighborhood and especially all the wonderful friendships that developed over the years. Gail started her 45-year career in real estate at Marden and Patterson in Concord in 1974 and recently retired from Village Properties in Santa Barbara in 2019. She enjoyed all her wonderful business partners at JM Barrett & Company in Concord and her great associates at Sotheby’s and Village Properties in Santa Barbara. Gail moved to Santa Barbara in 1986 and soon thereafter married Walter Beust. They lived above the Mission in the foothills of Santa Barbara. Gail lost Walter to Lymphoma in 2007 and then lost her house in the Tea Fire in 2008. Gail demonstrated great resolve and determination and soon moved to the Riviera in Santa Barbara just above the Mission. Gail and Walter loved the arts and supported the Santa Barbara Symphony and Ensemble Players. Gail joined the Santa Barbara Club in 2009 and really enjoyed all the friendships that she made through the club. Gail is survived by her sister Angela Leap, her sons Gregory Johnson and Jay Johnson and her granddaughter Susannah Rose Johnson who will marry Benjamin York in late October. Celebration of Life for Gail will be on September 16th at the Santa Barbara Club. Please contact Greg Johnson for details (greg@songequity.com). Donations in lieu of flowers can be made to the Poor Clare Nuns of Santa Barbara.

Disney’s take on Dia de los Muertos Disneyland, Disney California Adventure celebrate Day of the Dead

The Tree of Life features symbols such as these related to Dia de los Muertos.

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

A musical figure from the afterlife welcomes visitors to Plaza de la Familia at Disney California Adventure.

DAVE MASON / NEWS-PRESS PHOTOS

Disney-Pixar’s “Coco” stands out as a movie that tugs at both guitar strings and heart strings. It also represents the love and importance of family, as exemplified by Dia de los Muertos. And Disney California Adventure is taking that to heart as it again presents its special Plaza de la Familia now through Nov. 2. The special plaza is in the back of the Anaheim park, at Paradise Gardens. There you’ll be greeted by Day of the Dead figures, large and small. And fans can take photos of the Tree of Love, which branches out with images, colors, symbols, animals and “calacas” (skeletons). You can also design your alebrije (spirit guide) mask in a craft activity. And there’s a special Memory Wall where you can write notes in

honor of your departed loved ones. When the News-Press visited earlier this month, the notes quickly accumulated throughout the day on the wall. The plaza also features performances of “A Musical Celebration of Coco,” in which storyteller Mateo recounts Miguel’s journey into the Land of the Dead. During the show, Miguel appears as a full-size, hand-animated figure. This writer was impressed when he saw this version of Miguel a couple years ago, walking around with the performer operating him. The celebration features singers and folklorico dancers in authentic costumes, and they’re accompanied by the Grammywinning Mariachi Divas. The colorful assortment of figures and art bring color and emotion. You could also imagine the iconic song “Recuérdame” Please see DISNEY on B2 At Plaza de Familia, you can post notes about departed loved ones on the Memory Wall.

Large display celebrates Dia de los Muertos at Disneyland DISNEY

Continued from Page B1 (“Remember Me”) from “Coco” being played. Well, Miguel and the performer operating the figure stand behind a mural named after the song. The mural also shows Miguel’s family in Santa Cecilia and the Land of the Dead. And there’s food to go with the art and music. Paradise Garden Grill features everything from traditional tamales to a “Coco” cake filled with churro-flavored mousse. By the way, if you get a chance, watch “Coco” again on disney+. The animated 2017 movie is a great story, with memorable music and a love of life that transcends this world. It’s co-directed by Lee Unrich and Adrian Molina.

Down back toward the center of DCA, Day of the Dead is celebrated further in Cars Land and its Ramone’s House of Body Art. And over at Disneyland, the traditional Dia de los Muertos display is impressive at Zocalo Park, next to Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante and its Mexican cuisine. The display, which shows skeletons in a band on stage, seems bigger than those in years past. One suggestion: Try to visit the two Disney parks on a weekday — the earlier, the better. The NewsPress stopped by on a Friday morning, when wait times for rides were typically 10 minutes to a half-hour. Imagine getting on Space Mountain in less than an hour, let alone a half-hour. Now, that’s out of this world!

By the way, for Space Mountain purists, the attraction is in its original state, no added ghosts flying in the galaxy for Halloween. (Disneyland offered that version during some seasons.) At Disneyland, the ghosts are simply where they belong: at the Haunted Mansion, along with Jack Skellington and his friends from “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” More about that in Sunday’s News-Press. email: dmason@newspress.com

Thought for Today

%\ 'DYH *UHHQ

today you might wake up with more than your share of muscle aches and pains. You should keep exercising, but tone it down. Forget jogging and aerobics. Go for a little yoga or tai chi, which will enhance fitness with minimal strain. If you can, soak in a warm tub later. Scorpio: Disturbing occurrences regarding a friend might make you a bit confused, Scorpio. The situation isn’t anything you could have expected, so you and others will try to make sense of it. It should be resolved within the next few days. In the meantime, view it objectively. You might also want to get your mind on something else. Sagittarius: There could be some confusion, discord, and upset in the air today. There may be arguments and misunderstandings among friends and family. Try not to add fuel to the fire. If a person is getting a little hot under the collar, just listen. Be understanding and empathetic instead of trying to prove that you’re right, especially if you are! Capricorn: This isn’t a good day to plan or start a trip by air, Capricorn. Wait a few days if you can. However, if you must confirm plans now, travel light, check all arrangements for accommodation and rental car before you leave, and collect phone numbers for those you intend to meet. Confusion, delays, and misplaced bags could otherwise result. Take a book, music, and chocolate! Aquarius: Malfunctions on the part of computers, ATMs, and phone systems could interfere with financial transactions today, Aquarius. You might have to pay for purchases in the old-fashioned way - cash or checks. This isn’t a good day to begin or complete any major financial transactions. There’s too much confusion right now. Wait a few days. Pisces: Today you may feel a powerful need to be with friends, Pisces, but once you seek them out, you may not enjoy their company very much. Someone is in a bad mood, and being with this person could put a damper on your day. It might be better to take some time for yourself, perhaps go for a workout. This will enable you to get some exercise and increase your self-confidence as well.

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.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

DAILY BRIDGE

By Horoscope.com Saturday, September 11, 2021 Aries: Today family members might be less than honest with you, Aries, particularly regarding working around the house. Don’t be surprised if you hear excuses! This could be irritating, but don’t let it get to you. Let the chores go. Do something you enjoy. It’s more fun than taking out the trash. Taurus: You might want to start a new creative project, Taurus, and several ideas may float through your head. However, you might not be able to decide which one you like the most or how to turn it into reality. Sit down and list the possibilities and then do something else. Think about it again tomorrow. It may be difficult to stay focused on anything right now. Gemeni: Some equipment at home that you usually take for granted might go haywire today, Gemini. More than one machine may not work as well as it usually does. This could prove frustrating, but don’t get impatient and fix it yourself. Call a professional or things could get even more fouled up than they are. Cancer: Your communications equipment may not be working well today, Cancer.

Hang in there, and don’t give up on technology. Leo: Confusion surrounds financial matters today, Leo. Someone close to you could be hit with unexpected expenses, and this person might ask you for a loan. You’ll want to help out, but no matter what they say, it doesn’t look like their situation is going to improve anytime soon. If you decide to lend the money, accept that you won’t see it again for a while. Virgo: Today you could feel especially adventurous, Virgo. You might be tempted to take part in risky adventures like hiking in the wilderness. This isn’t a good day for it. Plan a trip for the near future if you want to, but today it’s better to sublimate your adventurous nature by reading thrillers, watching spy movies, or exploring places close to home. Libra: You may have been exercising too enthusiastically over the past few days, Libra, and
