Ready to reconnect County trials slowly begin with wildlife Santa Barbara Zoo set to showcase its newest attractions to the public

Defendants, victims wrestle with whether justice delayed is justice denied

By PAUL GONZALEZ NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

After months of COVID-19related delays, trials have finally started to trickle through the Santa Barbara County Superior Court system.

Santa Barbara County Superior Court Chief Executive Officer Darrel Parker said a criminal trial began Monday, but ultimately the defendant pleaded guilty and the judge dismissed the jurors. Mr. Parker did not specify whether the trial occurred in the court’s Santa Barbara, Santa Maria or Lompoc divisions.

“The assembly room, which normally accommodates 150 people, was set up so that social distancing protocols would be followed. This allowed for 29 people to gather for orientation.

We had summoned groups of potential jurors to appear in the morning and in the afternoon.

The defendant pled guilty, and the jurors were discharged,” Mr. Parker said.

Civil courts began hearing cases over Zoom and conference calls in late May, and criminal courts have begun to hear arraignments and cases with time-sensitive issues both in person and over Zoom.

“Any criminal case can be done virtually without violating a defendant’s constitutional rights so long as the defendant consents

to the hearing being conducted in that manner,” Mr. Parker said.

The courts began operating on a limited schedule in midMarch under guidance from the California Judicial Council.

At first, only one criminal arraignment courtroom was available in the Santa Barbara and Santa Maria courthouses for cases where the defendant was being held in County Jail.

The California Judicial Council has since pulled back some of its COVID-19 guidelines.

On June 10, the council rescinded an order allowing courts to extend the deadline for criminal arraignments past Please see JUSTICE on A5

Giraffe calf Twiga, born at the Santa Barbara Zoo on March 27, gets a loving nudge from father Michael on Saturday.

At left, lion couple Ralph and Felicia are also among the zoo’s newest inhabitants, with keepers hoping a budding feline romance could bring another lion into the fold within the next couple of years. At right, an Amur leopard strolls through its enclosure on Saturday.

Twiga might not be as tall as her mother or father just yet, but the fervent giraffe is certainly adapting to his new lifestyle at the Santa Barbara Zoo with his head held high.

The new baby calf, born on March 27 to his mother Aida, is one of the newest attractions fellow zoo-goers will get to enjoy seeing for the first time when the zoo reopens to all patrons on Tuesday.

Santa Barbara Zoo Members were able to get the first look at Twiga on Saturday and could not have been more happy to see a new cute face in town. His name means giraffe in Swahili, a Bantu language spoken in East Africa.

“Everyone’s been really excited about Twiga especially,” Misty Gray, director of husbandry and welfare for the zoo, told the

News-Press.

“Everyone’s been really happy to be back and see the animals, see their old friends and it’s just been really great to see.”

Twiga is not the only new face in town, however, as two new African lions are also at center stage for zoo-goers to enjoy.

Ralph and Felicia, a male and female lion, respectively, arrived at the zoo on May 6 with Ralph from Indianapolis Zoo in Indiana and Felicia coming from Riverbanks Zoo in South Carolina.

Ralph was born on September 21, 2015, while Felicia was born on April 10, 2018.

The couplet are the first African lions at the zoo since Chadwick, the zoo’s previous 21-year old lion, passed away in December 2019.

The two began their arrival going through the standard 30-day quarantining process, but are now out in the exhibit area, placed right alongside the giraffe exhibit and Twiga.

“That actually was the longest part of the process. They were both kind of like, ‘What’s out there? What are those tall giant things next to us?’” Ms. Gray said with a laugh.

“But they’ve done a fantastic job. They’ve been a great pair. It was one of the easiest big cat introductions that I’ve ever been a part of.”

The two have a breeding recommendation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, so the zoo hopes that within the next couple of years they could celebrate the birth of a new lion.

Focusing on the now, however, the staff at the zoo has been diligent in taking care of the lions especially.

With the novel coronavirus still affecting day-to-day life, there have been cases of COVID-19 found inside big cats, the most notable story coming from the Bronx Zoo when eight of its big cats were confirmed to Please see zoo on A7

Dr. Emmons will initially lead the department of Health Services’ efforts in outpatient and inpatient medical support, and case management.

He joins CenCal with more than 20 years of experience in medical management oversight of health plans, specializing in quality of care, utilization management and case management, among other concentrations, according to a news release sent on Thursday.

Lindsey Ruddins path continues trending upwards even on the professional level

By JORGE MERCADO NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

For nearly five years, Lindsey Ruddins showcased her immense talent donning the blue and gold for the UCSB women’s volleyball team.

In that time, Ruddins was outstanding, earning 1,970 kills, second most all-time in program history, and collecting a slew of awards. In each of her four years, she was named to Big West AllConference, AVCA All-Region, and AVCA All-America.

She is also the only Gaucho to ever earn four All-American nods.

And, while all good things come to an end, Ruddins career continues to shine, even on the professional level. “I knew when my career ended (at UCSB) I wanted to continue playing as long as my body would let me,� Ruddins said with a laugh. “And I was really stoked when the opportunity to start that career sooner than I expected.�

Just a few months after playing her final game for the Gauchos in a second round loss in the NCAA Tournament to No. 2 seeded Texas, Ruddins suited up for the first time as a professional player --- nearly 3,500 miles away from her home in Santa Barbara.

In early February, Ruddins signed her first professional contract, agreeing to sign to play in Puerto Rico for Las Pinkin de Corozal in the Liga de Voleibol Superior Femenino. “I was super excited when I got there. The coach that coached our team was amazing. I really liked playing for him. He really just tried to like develop our team and to just buy into the process of working hard and everything so I was really excited to play for him,�

Ruddins said.

And, it didn’t take long for the Laguna Niguel native to make her presence felt.

Within her first month as a professional, Ruddins led her team to its first win of the season in a five-set thriller, which included her leading the team with 26 points and 19 kills.

Her performance earned her her first career Mejor Ataque Player of the Week award. “It was cool, but I don’t know.

All those things never really get to me. It’s a team sport and I love playing with the team,� Ruddins said.

Just a few weeks later, Ruddins made league history, scoring the second most points in a single game with 43. She is tied with five other players for the honor and fell six points shy of the record, which was set back in 2002.

Of her 43 points, 34 of them came off kills in another five-set thriller which saw her team upset the third-place team in the league, Toa Baja.

Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, her first season was cut short. On March 12, three days after Ruddins scored 43 points in a single outing, the

league announced it would be suspending the season. It has not returned to action since.

Pinkin even had a game scheduled hours before the league announced it would be suspending its season. “Puerto Rico is definitely a lot different than California, which is where I was born and raised and then went to college, so it was definitely interesting to finally live somewhere else but loved it and the girls were super sweet.

They made it possible to adopt the culture and were so nice,�

Ruddins said.

Ruddins also admitted it was a bit intimidating to suddenly move out of the country, something she never really experienced before, ironically, because club volleyball usually made her stay inside the United States.

“I researched it a little bit before I went but it’s definitely scary to go somewhere you’ve never been and just being told you’re living there now,� Ruddins said with a laugh. “But I had awesome teammates help me through that and the owners of the team were amazing and the coaching staff was really great.�

Even though Ruddins was “bummed� the season was cut short, she was happy to have even had the opportunity as it came sooner than she expected. “I signed with an agent and he brought up multiple opportunities for me but I wouldn’t have been able to do those because the season is longer and I was still taking classes to finish my degree,� Ruddins said.

Luckily, when the Puerto Rican

St. will be funded with state and federal grant funding.

The project is expected to be completed by the fall and will include a brand new playground, restrooms and walking path. In addition, the park will receive landscape, electrical and hardscape upgrades, said Ryan Heath, management analyst for the city’s Recreation and Parks Department.

A total of $625,142 in federal

funding has been awarded to the project from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Community Development Block Grant program. The city also received $232,414 in state funding through the Housing-Related Parks Program, Mr. Heath said. “Improvements to Russell Park are necessary to modernize facilities in the park and revitalize the surrounding neighborhood

league offer came, she was able to jump at the offer because the season is shorter. Had the season not been suspended, the final game would have been on April 19, allowing Ruddins to come back and wrap up her degree. “I was mostly just lifting and conditioning before I left because I didn’t think I would be playing in a game so soon because I didn’t think I could play like anywhere for a season since I was in school, so it’s kind of a shock when this opportunity presented itself,�

Ruddins said.

With the coronavirus still around, Ruddins said it’s difficult to know what lies ahead, but expects to continue playing with Pinkin whenever the season is either resumed or when next season approaches and maybe even other opportunities. “I will continue playing. I can’t say anything else besides that because of everything going on, but I will be ready,� Ruddins said.

When asked about maybe one day having the opportunity to represent her country and play for the USA Volleyball team, Ruddins said it’s every player’s dream but she prefers to stay in the moment. “I have no idea, those girls are just at such a high level. I am just grateful to be able to continue playing and whatever happens, happens. I really just kind of like to take it day by day and see how things go,� Ruddins said.

For now, the moment means Ruddins celebrating wrapping up her college degree. With UCSB celebrating commencement last week virtually, Ruddins was able to celebrate earning a sociology degree from one of the best public universities in the country. “It means a lot. I’m super grateful for UCSB and all the opportunities that I’ve gotten from there and just for the school and everyone in the athletics department. I’m sad that there’s no graduation but, I mean, just to be able to have the degree from there is amazing,� Ruddins said.

Looking back at her illustrious career, Ruddins saw a lot of turnover. In her first few seasons, the team usually was in the middle of the pack or worse.

Yet, in her final outing, she was a part of a historic team that did big things, like sweeping UCLA, winning 23 games and, most importantly, winning the first NCAA tournament game since 2004. “The NCAA Tournament was just an unreal experience. Against Texas, up 2-1, I think we gave it our all and I don’t think anyone has any regrets. To go out against them and five was just kind of a great way to end my career at UCSB,� Ruddins said. “And to be able to play with such talented young players and hopefully I impacted them in some way, that’s all I could have ever asked for.�

They Happen by Design.

Parklets They’re the means for safe, distanced dining-in

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK

A

NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

s Santa Barbara County residents chomp at the bit to dine-in at restaurants again, establishments on State Street and elsewhere have had to get creative to meet social distancing guidelines.

Because restaurants may not have the adequate room indoors to seat people far enough apart, many have extended their seating to “parklets,” outside seating alongside the street or in parking lot spaces. Examples of this are on Solvang’s Copenhagen Drive, which jumped onto the parklet bandwagon.

At the start of the coronavirus pandemic, State Street sealed off traffic, creating a promenade.

Business owners took advantage of this and moved tables outside so customers could eat six feet apart.

Not only can restaurants now offer dine-in services and receive more business, but people can now enjoy meals with friends and family while simultaneously limiting their contact with others. In addition, residents can enjoy the weather and get some exercise walking up and down the revived State Street. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Copenhagen Drive in Solvang is home to many parklets. This one is at 1672 Copenhagen Drive.

Jorgensen’s Cabinets helped construct Carlito’s parklets, building a barrier between the seating area and the road.

Carlito’s Cafe Y Cantina, located on 1324 State St., set up a parklet right in its own parking lot.

Lucas & Lewellen Vineyards Tasting Room, 1645 Copenhagen Drive, also jumped on the parklet bandwagon.

RAFAEL MALDONADO / NEWS-PRESS

The justice system at the County Courthouse has wrestled with the issue of whether justice delayed is justice denied for defendants and victims.

Suspension of trials created frustration for both defendants and victims JUSTICE

Continued from Page A1 the usual 48 hours and ended the $0 emergency bail schedule that kept defendants arrested on misdemeanor and lesser felony charges out of local jails.

Mr. Parker said county courts will continue to use the $0 bail schedule “until further notice� and honored the 48-hour arraignment deadline while the arraignment extension order was effective.

However, at the height of the COVID-19 scare in March, the California Judicial Council suspended jury trials for 60 days statewide and extended the deadlines for criminal trials.

Those orders have created a backlog of cases and caused frustration for both defendants and victims of crime. “If you’ve been accused of a crime and you have not been able to have your day in court to prove that you are not guilty, you feel justice delayed is justice denied,�

Santa Barbara County District Attorney Joyce Dudley said. “If you’re a victim of a crime and you’ve been waiting months and months to have the person who victimized you held accountable, you feel justice delayed is justice denied. It goes to both sides of

this,� Ms. Dudley said.

She explained that as a trial date stretches further from the date of the incident in question, memories fade, witnesses may become unavailable and juries may give less weight to witness testimony, which may benefit the defense.

Ms. Dudley said she is not waiting longer than usual to file new cases, but in some situations defendants are being sent letters demanding their appearance in court instead of being arrested.

She noted that five district attorneys contracted COVID-19 and 13 public defenders had to go into quarantine in San Bernardino County. “These are extraordinary times.

We certainly have to protect everybody including the people who are in custody or are being released because we know from the Lompoc prison that custody is a place where something like this can spread. We also know Santa Barbara County Jail had only one case of an inmate, and he wasn’t even put in (the) general population,� Ms. Dudley said.

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office has since announced that 13 jail staff members and two inmates have tested positive for COVID-19.

Ms. Dudley said victim advocates are keeping in touch

with victims so they don’t feel left behind by the case delays. “Even though the case is not moving as quickly as we’d like it to, we still maintain contact with them. Everyone understands COVID, of course, but we don’t want to make them feel like we’ve deserted them,� Ms. Dudley said.

Santa Barbara County Public Defender’s Office Chief Trial Deputy Lea Villegas said that justice delayed may be justice denied for defendants who see no resolution for their case on the horizon. “Being accused of a crime is

challenging because it can depersonalize the defendant in the eyes of the court or opposing counsel. “Confrontation goes both ways,�

Ms. Villegas said. “When a client is forced to appear in court through a computer screen, their pixelated image is reduced to a two-inch square. “The prosecutors don’t have to confront our client’s humanity at all.

Sixteen of those defendants are over age 65, the high-risk age range for COVID-19. “The speedy trial right is a fundamental right afforded to our citizens, and right now that is being disrupted and there’s no recourse.

incredibly disruptive even for those who are released and have a court date (that is) months in the future. These clients have difficulty finding work or housing and for people who cannot afford bail every day that goes by is a day lost with a loved one,� Ms. Villegas said. “COVID-related delays are causing some of our clients to consider taking plea deals rather than litigating the cases simply because they feel the need for resolution. I don’t think that is conducive to achieving fair outcomes,� Ms. Villegas said.

Zoo expects arrival of another baby giraffe within weeks

Train passengers get a good look at lions Ralph and Felicia, also shown below, on Saturday. For a look at some of the other animals at the zoo, see page A8.

ZOO

Continued from Page A1 have the virus. “Our biggest changes have been with our personal protective equipment, so in order to go into the lion space, we do have to wear actual surgical masks, or an N-95, not just the cloth masks. We also wear gloves if we’re touching any other surfaces and we are wearing coats over our clothing, just to make sure that we are not spreading anything to them or getting anything from them as well as separate shoes and foot pads. If we’re going to be feeding them we do so within six feet of them,� Ms. Gray said.

Still, the lions have done well so far at the zoo and the staff hopes to continue seeing them be happy, especially with patrons coming to marvel soon.

As for Twiga, the baby calf is maturing by the minute and as such is currently being weaned off her mother’s milk and is starting to eat leaves by herself. “At this point we just make sure he is defecating or urinating regularly and just make sure his mom is paying attention to him. As long as mom’s doing her job we can be very hands off and that’s the ideal situation,� Ms. Gray said.

While Twiga enjoyed the baby spotlight for a couple months, he soon will be joined by another calf.

Audrey, a fellow female giraffe, will be giving birth to her fifth calf within the next couple of weeks. Her due date is early July but Ms. Gray said it really could be “any day now.� “When they are first born, we do keep things quiet so it’s just the primary one or two keepers and the vet will check in on them. Within the first 24 hours, the calf will be separated from his mother for 5 to 10 minutes just to be weighed and see what sex it is, then delivered right back over to mom,� Ms. Gray said.

The timing from birth to being at the exhibit area depends usually on the mother, according to Ms. Gray.

Since Aida was a first-time mom, the staff let her go at her own pace in introducing Twiga to the outside. Twiga came out to the yard within a week.

An experienced mother, Audrey will likely be a bit more laid back in her approach to welcoming her newest child. “She’s a much more laid back individual

anyways, so we will see but we are very excited,� Ms. Gray said.

In general, maintaining the animals at the zoo during the quarantine has been a top priority of the staff. While they don’t have to wear full PPE as they do with the lions, Ms. Gray did say that the staff still wears masks and gloves around all the animals just as a precautionary measure. “This is still a new disease and there are a lot of unknowns so we’d rather play it safe than sorry,� Ms. Gray said.

There are also new protocols at the zoo when it reopens, ones that adhere to the current guidelines in place by the County.

Sanitation crews will be wiping down hightouch areas consistently, while other common procedures such as wearing a face mask and social distancing rules will also be enforced.

Daily attendance will also be limited, there will be more sanitation areas around the zoo, most areas will be one-ways and only debit or credit cards will be accepted for payment options. “There’s a lot of new things that we need to take into account but we’re just trying to make sure that we’re making the best decisions to keep our staff and our guests and our animals safe,� Ms. Gray said. “But it’s been really nice seeing people back and seeing how happy people are to be back here. It’s been very quiet, and it’s been nice to be able to get a lot of projects done and a lot of things that we can’t normally do, like shutting down an area to do a lot of work in it, but we’re here for the guests to experience the animals and learn about the animals and appreciate the animals.�

Hermine Nobbe passed away peacefully at home on June 9, 2020 after a brief illness at the age of 89. She was born in Bad Tolz, Germany on February 28, 1931. Hermine was preceded in passing by her mother, Anna Marie, sister Josefine, and father Alois Schmuck all of Bad Tolz, Germany.

She is survived by her husband Erwin A. Nobbe, now 92 years old. They have been married 62 years. The Nobbe’s have one surviving son, Ralph W. Nobbe, his wife, Sharadi L. Nobbe, four grandchildren (Joshua, Jessica, Joanna and Christopher) and three great-grandchildren. (Their extended family now includes six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.)

While being eight months pregnant, she emigrated from Germany in 1958. Upon arrival, she had to master a new language, explore and learn a new culture, and build a new life for their young family. She embraced it all! Hermine and Erwin originally settled in Washington, DC. They relocated to Santa Barbara in 1961 where she and Erwin established Nobbe Orthopedics, Inc. They rapidly developed a vast network of friends in Santa Barbara and continued with lifelong friendships created during their travels throughout the world.

Family, grand-kids, great-grand-kids, their vast circle of friends – near and far, extensive travel and their beloved German American club activities were her focus in life. As a force never to be underestimated, she will be missed by all. A private memorial for family has been held.

FLANDERS, Cathy (Pomatto) Cathleen Ann Flanders joined her parents in heaven on June 10, 2020. She passed peacefully at her home in Scripps Ranch (San Diego) with her family by her side.

Cathy was taken too soon at the age of 65. She valiantly fought cancer for five years.

Cathy had a warm and giving personality and her friends and family were incredibly important to her.

She always stayed in touch with lifelong friends but also loved meeting new people and starting new friendships.

Once Cathy became a friend, she was a friend for life.

She became an accomplished home decor seamstress creating custom drapes, pillows, and other furnishings. Her home was a showcase for her talent as she constantly found new projects to improve the beautiful living area and garden with her hands and her heart.

Born Cathy Pomatto on April 6, 1955 at St. Francis Hospital. She grew up in Goleta, California graduating from Dos Pueblos High School. She attended Santa Barbara City College and San Diego State University.

She was preceded in death by her parents, John and Joanne Pomatto, nee Hoskins.

Cathy Flanders is survived by her loving husband of 33 years, Allen, daughter, Lyndsey of Seattle, son, Derek (Patti) of Poway, her sister, Sue (Mike) Schreibman and their two children, Jonna and Jack, brother, Alan (Alison) Pomatto, their children, Johnny (Robin) Pomatto and Wesley (Adam) Barnett and their two children, Cooper and Amelia.

Due to Covid-19 concerns, a celebration of life will be held at a date to be determined.

If you’d like to be informed of the date, mail a letter to 11717 Scripps Cape Vista Pt, San Diego, CA 92131. Donations should be directed to breast cancer research at Susan G. Komen San Diego.

LUAN, Lawrence L. M.D.

Lawrence L. Luan M.D., respected cardiologist and longtime Santa Barbara community member, passed away peacefully in his home on June 6th. He was 95 years old.

A descendant of a long line of scholars, Lawrence was born in Jinan and grew up in Qingdao, China where his father worked as Director of the Qingdao (Tsingtao) - Jinan railroad. Lawrence’s life in Qingdao, a peaceful seaside town in China, was interrupted by war and foreign occupation during the World War II era. Through these turbulent times Lawrence continued his education, following his school as it constantly relocated across China to regions that were free from occupation.

In August 1943, Lawrence became a student volunteer in the Chinese Army, ordered to India and Burma, to fight the Japanese. There he was assigned to the Chinese First Army where he served as a medic and liaison to the U.S. forces. Having survived the chaos and pain of war, loss and separation, Lawrence and his future wife Barbara left China for the last time on 13 November 1949 bound for Hong Kong.

After months of insecurity in Hong Kong, they obtained visas for America where Lawrence managed to secure a second year slot at Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine. There he continued the medical training interrupted by the Japanese and Communist invasion. He supported his family as a taxi driver, studying when and where he could. After completing his training, Lawrence moved his young family to the big sky of Albuquerque, New Mexico. For his three children, this would be a period best remembered by long road trips in a Ford Station wagon to see and experience Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, and the many natural wonders of the southwest. Ultimately, the draw of a climate similar to his hometown would bring him to Santa Barbara where he and his family have lived for over 50 years.

Lawrence will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 70 years, Barbara, and his children, Diana, James and Michael and daughter-in-law Ya-Ping. He will also be forever missed by his grandson, Patrick. Those who knew him best will always remember his kindness, generosity, wisdom, and caring spirit. His presence always filled the room with a warmth that will not be soon replaced.

A post-pandemic memorial service will be held on 6 September, 2020.

Arrangements entrusted to McDermott-Crockett Mortuary.

PIEMME, Frank

Frank Piemme passed away on Wednesday, May 27, 2020, at age 95.

Frank Piemme was a product of his environment: as tough as the rattlesnakes he collected in his youth, as tireless as his homesteader parents, as curious as his professors at Cal Tech and Berkeley, as meticulous as a professional engineer.

A native Californian, Frank was born in San Bernardino on January 8, 1925. He was raised in the frontier San Joaquin Valley where he learned to swim in the Feather River. He grew up on the family homestead on the Sutter Buttes and graduated from Taft High School in Kern County.

It was at Taft High where Frank, intending to be a diver, was persuaded by Coach Zecher to try swimming before World War II curtailed high school sports. Graduating in 1943, Frank headed south to Cal Tech in Pasadena where he swam while in the Navy at Treasure Island. After his discharge from the Navy in 1946, Frank went back to work in the oil fields near Taft. It was there that he met Connie Maynard who was visiting her aunt and uncle after graduating from nursing school. The two eloped and married in Las Vegas in 1949. Frank returned to UC Berkeley where he received his degree in mechanical engineering.

Frank worked as an industrial engineer for 26 years for Johns-Manville Corporation, interrupted only by 5 years with Lockheed and North American Rockwell. He retired in 1982 after spending nine years at Johns-Manville headquarters in Denver. It was in Denver that Frank joined the Engelmeisters Swim Team as a way to lose weight. He went on to become a world and national masters swimming record holder in his subsequent age groups. In 2004, Frank Piemme was inducted to the Masters Swimming Hall of Fame at Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

As devoted as Frank was to his family, friends and swimming, he was also dedicated to the community that he lived in for decades. Frank Piemme was one of the original founders and served as president of the Lompoc Y.M.C.A. An amusing orator and story teller, he was president of the Lompoc Toastmasters. Frank also served as a counselor for Junior Achievement, a docent for La Purisima Mission and a volunteer for Christmas Cheer.

Frank is survived by his wife of 71 years, Connie, daughter Carol and her husband David Stockwell, son Jim and his wife Kathy Piemme, grandsons Jacob and Brian Piemme and great-grandson Valen Piemme.

Dr. Brett Wilson works in the emergency departments at Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital, seen behind him, and Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. He stressed the importance of masks, good hand hygiene and social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hospitals during COVID-19 Emergency department chair discusses safety measures and lessons learned from Hurricane Katrina

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

H

urricane Katrina taught Dr. Brett Wilson all about patience.

“It was such a large-scale event,” said Dr. Wilson, chair of the Emergency Department at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. “It was not going to go away in a couple hours. It was not going to go away in a couple days.”

Dr. Wilson, who helped relief efforts in New Orleans during the 2005 hurricane, told the News-Press that lessons about patience and communication have stuck with him during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Today, Dr. Wilson is stressing that hospitals remain safe places to visit while their staffs work with confirmed or potential COVID-19 patients.

Cottage Health is encouraging people not to postpone important care for various conditions during the pandemic. A Kaiser Family Foundation poll found that 48% of Americans said they or someone in their household have delayed or skipped medical care because of the pandemic.

But Dr. Wilson said people can feel comfortable about visiting hospitals.

“The hospital is honestly one of the safest places you can be because people (patients and visitors) are getting masks when they come to the hospital,” Dr. Wilson said, noting that staff have worn masks and other protective gear.

“Because of all that, we’ve been really fortunate,” he said. “We haven’t had issues with healthcare providers getting exposed because of patients getting it (COVID-19) from healthcare providers.

“We’re trying to limit the spread that is happening in the community,” he said. “That is where we are right now.”

Dr. Wilson, who also works in the Emergency Department at Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital, said emergency room patients are pre-screened outside the entrances at Cottage Health hospitals. “We do a temperature check. We go through a list of different, viral-like symptoms.

If people have certain COVID-19-like symptoms, they get steered into a certain area.”

He said people are tested for COVID-19 with a cotton swab in the nose. “It’s not pleasant, but I think people would rather get a nose swab than a shot.”

Caution isn’t limited to the emergency departments. COVID-19 testing, in fact, is performed for every patient admitted to a Cottage Health hospital and for patients

Dr. Wilson, chair of the Emergency Department at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, helped with relief efforts during Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

before a surgery or procedure, according to a news release. Visitors are limited to prevent exposure and maintain social distancing.

And specialized care units are used for patients with COVID-19, which are separate from those admitted for other conditions. There are specific precautions and negative airflow for infection prevention. Dr. Wilson explained there are isolation rooms with negative pressure so the air isn’t mixed with other rooms or other parts of the hospital.

He added that hospitals are following infection-control guidelines. He noted that Cottage Health’s environmental services and housekeeping teams are doing great work.

Surfaces are wiped down constantly.

“They are busy bees,” Dr. Wilson said. “They are some of our biggest heroes keeping this place safe and clean for everybody, employees as well as patients.”

Disinfectant procedures include ultraviolet light filtration on air handlers, Xenex UV light robots for room cleaning and routine monitoring of hand washing.

Dr. Wilson said the emergency departments at Cottage Health hospitals in Santa Barbara and Goleta share a staff of 38 physicians and six physician assistants.

The two departments have a total of about 75 nurses, split into teams located at the two hospitals, he said.

Dr. Wilson said his work during the pandemic

has benefitted from lessons he learned during Hurricane Katrina.

During the disaster, he was a chief resident in his final year of training at Charity Hospital in New Orleans.

The hospital closed before the hurricane, so Dr. Wilson worked with the military to set up field hospitals and with others to establish community clinics. That’s where he learned the importance of communication during a disaster.

“It (Katrina) is still referenced in a lot of disaster planning because of how things happened and what we learned from it,” Dr. Wilson said. “Lessons learned from Katrina helped us through the Thomas Fire and the (Montecito) mudflow event in the ER and with this pandemic.

“When you have something that has an impact on a large number of people, you don’t have the resources on the local level for a long project,” Dr. Wilson said. “You need the federal government to help you. The county has been a great advocate for us on that level and has a good relationship with the state.”

The physician grew up in Goleta and graduated from Dos Pueblos High School in 1991. He earned his bachelor’s in biology in 1996 at UCSB and his medical degree in 2009 at Tulane Medical School in New Orleans. He completed his residency in 2006 through the Louisiana State University program at Charity Hospital, then completed a fellowship in diving medicine in 2007 at LSU. Dr. Wilson, who’s married and has two daughters and a son (ages 10, 13 and 17), has been with Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital since 2007. He lives in Santa Barbara.

During the pandemic, Dr. Wilson has been impressed with the work by the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department and others in healthcare. He praised the positive relationships among Direct Relief in Goleta, Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics, Sansum Clinic, Cottage Health hospitals, Marian Regional Medical Center in Santa Maria and Lompoc Valley Medical Center in Lompoc.

Dr. Wilson noted the importance of wearing masks in public, staying at least six feet from others and washing your hands.

“That triad is the best way you can mitigate spreading it or contacting it.” email: dmason@newpress.com

SOLUTION ON D3

HOROSCOPE Horoscope.com Sunday, June 21, 2020 ARIES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This Week you can gain much by paying attention to your dreams and intuition. Sparkling insights can help you succeed with both personal goals and career plans.

TAURUS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This week isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the best time to go ahead with deals or contracts, because situations could change and promises could fall through. If you have no other option, take things in baby steps..

GEMINI â&#x20AC;&#x201D; When it comes to business, there is plenty you can do to prepare for success. While it may not be worth galloping ahead with a new project, it could be well worth laying the foundation for what is to come.

CANCER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Some of your plans will need to go on the back burner this week.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay, because you might feel moved to jettison some ideas and move others to the top spot.

LEO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This week could find you naturally going deeper within and connecting with feelings that may be unfamiliar.

Discussing them with someone you trust could pave the way for a breakthrough.

VIRGO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Be prepared for some interesting developments in your social scene this week. Someone from the past could come back into your life, and you may be glad to see them.

LIBRA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This week you might want to direct some energy to your lifestyle by looking into your diet and exercise routines and how you might improve on them.

SCORPIO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This week you might come to some conclusions that lead to positive changes and you could feel much happier as a result of tackling certain issues.

SAGITTARIUS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This week will encourage you to streamline and reorganize your affairs. If issues need sorting out, this is the time to do it.

CAPRICORN â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Things could change within your relationships over this week, You might find it easier to connect with buried feelings, especially those youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tended to repress.

AQUARIUS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Are you ready to organize and streamline your life this week? Jettison anything that may be holding you back. What activities could you do without? Whatever has become too boring should be the first thing to go.

PISCES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Are you ready for a reunion?

Someone from the past could make a reappearance, and you might be interested in catching up. A conversation or two could encourage you to see more of each other if that feels right to you.

How to play Codeword Codeword is a fun game with simple rules, and a great test of your knowledge of the English language.

Sunday, June 21, 2020

SOLUTION ON D3 3/,54)/. /. $

Every number in the codeword grid is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;codeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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 you off. 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.

out a welcome mat only for his side of the family

D

ear Abby: My husband and I have been married 10 years, and he treats my family and friends very different compared to how he treats his own.

A few months ago, my sister called me at 9 p.m. She was driving through on her way to Florida with her 7-year-old daughter and had been trying for an hour to find a hotel at that point. We were only 40 minutes away, so I told her she could stay the night with us. When I told my husband afterward, Abigail he flipped Van Buren out because I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask his permission first.

I have never invited anyone to stay with us before. My family lives far away, but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it was a big deal to extend the invite because he constantly tells his family and friends they are always welcome. Today he informed me his son is coming to stay a week with his wife and 6-month-old (two weeks from now!).

Am I wrong to feel that if there is a rule, it should apply to both of us, and he should have asked me first? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; House Rules in Florida Dear House Rules: No, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not wrong. Because your husband is such a stickler for â&#x20AC;&#x153;asking permissionâ&#x20AC;? before inviting relatives to stay, that same courtesy should have been extended to you.

House rules are supposed to be followed by everyone who lives in the household. There seems to be an imbalance of power in yours. Be smart.

Talk with a licensed counselor about how to deal with your husband because unless you do, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll spend the rest of your life playing second fiddle to a controlling, emotional bully.

Dear Abby: One of my longtime friends has become extremely religious. I have nothing against religion, but I am non-practicing, although I do believe in something greater.

My problem is, now whenever we talk, text, Facebook page and Skype (with our children), everything is about God, religion, how He has a plan for us, etc.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to offend her, but my son and I do not need to constantly hear about her religious beliefs. My husband and I are raising our son to be a kind, honest person, but are letting him choose what religion (if any) he wants to be a part of when he grows up.

Although we now have only a long-distance friendship (I had to move away), this has put a strain on it because I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t said anything. What should I do? How should I handle it? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Non-Observant in Ontario, Canada Dear Non-Observant: The woman means well, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be defensive. But do speak up and tell her â&#x20AC;&#x201D; nicely â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that while you understand religion has become an important part of her life, you would prefer she leave the subject out of your conversations.

Unless trying to convert people is a part of her religion, she will respect your wishes.

However, if she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, you will have to decide whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth the annoyance to continue this long-distance relationship.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Mom suffers from a mean case of America 2020

H

i, Carolyn: I am usually the one the family turns to, the mom with the right words to guide through lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s messes.

Well, now Mom is the one

who is lost.

I know I am depressed by weeks of having no privacy, with my family working from home. I also know I am so blessed and should be able to weather this storm.

I am in a marriage with no physical intimacy, because my hubby was emotionally abused as a child.

This is an issue he is not going to resolve and that I made peace with years ago. He gives what he can, but I need much more at this stage.

I have developed an attraction to someone I will never meet and know would not be interested in me if we ever did. I struggle with feelings of inadequacy, since I cannot volunteer or even peacefully protest because of health issues. I waver between wanting to kick myself into gear and just sleep through the day.

How do I hang in there, knowing life will eventually return to some form of normalcy? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lost Mom Lost Mom: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry, Mama.

And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m grateful you asked, because I suspect the general outline of this problem is a common one. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always seen yourself as X, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit anymore. You crave Y, but your emotional contract says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No Y.â&#x20AC;?

You think Z might help, but the reason you need Z also makes Z impossible.

Welcome to America 2020.

I almost forgot: The moment you think you have it bad, you look around you and see worse, adding guilt to your bad-feelings pile.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s start there: You can be â&#x20AC;&#x153;blessedâ&#x20AC;? and still suffer. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give in to binary thinking, that if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fortunate then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re wrong to

TONIGHT

feel bad about anything. If it helps to remind yourself how blessed you are, then do that, yes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but if it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t helping, then stop. You feel bad? Need help? Then say, to yourself first, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel bad and need help.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a failure to be less resilient than you â&#x20AC;&#x153;shouldâ&#x20AC;? be.

In fact: Admitting they need help, even tacitly, is what your family does in turning to you, so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d only be living by your own example. Give yourself that much, at least.

Next, break open your binary thinking on other fronts. Being strong doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need help.

Being married doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a bad person for feeling outside attractions. Someone else isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only answer to physical or emotional loneliness. Being at peace doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean doubts will never resurface.

Being physically limited doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re inadequate.

Most important in a practical sense, â&#x20AC;&#x153;into gearâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;asleep all dayâ&#x20AC;? arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t your only two choices.

The value in breaking out of your typical role and thought patterns is to open yourself to new, small steps toward healing: Ask others for help. Tell your husband youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lonely. Treat that attraction as a cue to seek more pleasure, just non-adulterously.

Something tactile, maybe â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a pet, a craft â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or physical, like dance or yoga. Support your causes from home by phone-banking, postcard-writing, fundraising.

And, of course, call your doctor about the depression.

In mantra form: Open mind, small goals, real progress. It might surprise you, the strength and clarity you can build from there.

gUEST OPINION

I

America misdirected

Social Services vs. slave patrols?

just sat through the Santa Barbara County budget hearings, or, should I say, the pretense of a budget hearing.

As is their custom, the county gave me a grand total of 36 seconds per department for my comments!

Relatedly, the board spent about as much time on the budget as they did later the same week for a marathon hearing on racism as it relates to law enforcement.

What that means is that our county supervisors rubber stamped a budget worth $1.19 billion, the details of which belie claims that our county is spending too much money incarcerating rather than treating and supporting residents.

Case in point. The county’s Public Defender’s Office, led by Tracy Macuga, had this to say while speaking at a recent protest rally, “The criminal justice system needs to be completely reformed.

Funding decisions need to be made, meaning that money instead of building larger institutions that warehouse our community members, should go to mental health, to treatment and drug addiction programs.”

Really? Has PD Macuga ever to misdemeanors, and diverted bothered to compare the budget for criminals to alternative treatment. public safety vs. public health and What do we have to show for it? welfare? Taxpayers spend orders Nothing much apparently. of magnitude more money on social During the previously mentioned and health welfare programs than marathon hearing having to do they do on public safety. with institutional racism, For example, the with a view towards law following dollar amounts enforcement, Aaron do not include the actual Jones, the director of the welfare and social Educational Opportunity security payments Program at University that go directly to of California, Santa beneficiaries, because, Barbara, was one of the unfortunately, the county “moderators” Andy Caldwell no longer reports these He asserted that “Until expenditures. we begin to acknowledge Nonetheless, the that law enforcement is county spends $422 million on based out of slave patrols, that Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health, there was no such thing as law Social Services, Public Health and enforcement in this country Child Support Services.

I would reduced prison populations, agree that there is some truth to downgraded crimes from felonies that. However, he and his fellow

board members control the budget having to do with, for instance, PD Macuga’s department. That is, too many accused people of color are forced to rely on their court appointed attorney in PD Macuga’s department for representation. Unfortunately, the best lawyers in the world are not typically drawn to public service and, furthermore, public defender caseloads are routinely inordinately burdened.

What is missing from these conversations? Unfortunate as it is, the overwhelming majority of gang members in Santa Maria, Santa Barbara and Lompoc are people of color. Santa Maria has upwards of 1,500 gang members; Lompoc and Santa Barbara have several hundred more. Moreover, these gangs are typically associates, or franchisees if you will, of national and international gangs, all organized for criminal activity.

letters to the news-press Police need our support

A

few headlines from page A2 of the June 8 News-Press: “Domestic incident ends in standoff.”

“Police investigating triple stabbing.”

“Police investigating armed carjacking.”

“Two found safe after extensive search.”

These are all conditions seldom, if ever, faced by the general public, but are unfortunately all too common for law enforcement personnel.

Take ordinary men and women, give them some training and a firearm, and expect them to deal with the dregs of society on a routine basis.

Is there any wonder that they become jaundice in their views of certain elements of society?

This is not to excuse abuse of power, but rather a plea of understanding of their situation and a call for programs that support law enforcement personnel, not condemn them all for the actions of a few.

I value our police and their courage

M

y name is Sullivan Israel, and I am a 20-year-old local resident of District 4. I have sent the following letter to the local police department, my city representative Kristen Sneddon and Mayor Cathy Murillo. It shows how I, my family and many citizens of Santa Barbara feel about our local officers.

Dear men and women of the local Santa Barbara Police Department. I appreciate you. I value your bravery and courage to defend the citizens of this town from crime, both violent and nonviolent.

I have just completed my first year of college, and it seems that many people my age are very angry with the police across America, blaming them for racial injustice and violence.

I, however, don’t think that just because a police officer in Minneapolis killed a man means that the local police here in Santa Barbara, thousands of miles away, are in any way associated with or to blame for that unfair death. Assuming that would be akin to racism — just because one member of a large

group does something wrong doesn’t mean that all the rest are bad or to blame.

When I see the number of police who have been hurt, shot at, spit on, and yelled at over the past few weeks, I am greatly saddened. The vast majority of these officers are only trying to do their job: Protect the human rights of innocent citizens as guaranteed by our Constitution.

When that document was written, there wasn’t a single country in which the inalienable rights of an average person were protected. Tyranny and direct royal rule were the status quo, societies lacked due process or equality before the law. When our founding fathers wrote the Constitution over 200 years ago, they stated that this new country would protect, rather than violate, these laws. A police force was created to ensure these rights, and, for the most part, they have been doing their jobs well ever since.

That is why when I walk down State Street and see police, I am comforted, not afraid.

I know that should I be assaulted, or robbed, or threatened, the police are there to help me and find the perpetrator. Without these

officers, the tenuous line between civilization — where business profits and people aren’t afraid to sleep at night — and anarchy would be broken, as it has been in recent weeks.

Indeed, I recognize how lucky I am to have you, the police, here to protect me and my family because of how many countries still to this day are not safe for the average person to live or prosper. In some of those countries, the police work with corrupt politicians to violently suppress civil rights, in others to oppress or ignore the rights of women.

While America isn’t, and never has been perfect, it has never descended into such violent chaos as exists in so many places today. That, in large part, is due to our police finding criminals and arresting them, freeing our society of fear. So, I would like to speak out and say that as bleak as it looks now, with so many young people ignoring this important history and facts, I am one young person who supports and highly appreciates my local police officers.

Thank you for all that you do.

BLM makes demands to city of SB

id You Know for over 60 years that we as a nation have fought against segregation?

But in the last month BLM has made demands to the city of SB that as a result they basically segregate themselves as they call for their own black community center, then they demand their own teen center. The protest organizers also want to be paid for their time-consuming efforts to rally and make peaceful protests. They want their black historical landmarks researched by the city historian, Ms. Nicole Hernandez.

And from what we can tell amidst the screaming, what they most want is that the SB Police Department be defunded, dismantled and be made into a healthy restorative and transformational place. Also that we acknowledge that systemic racism, they say, is embedded in the fabric of America that none of us even know about. BLM says it is a privilege to be white; just ’cause you say it, doesn’t mean it’s so.

Aren’t blacks part of the fabric of America? Aren’t all of our histories intertwined?

America was a colony of Europe.

Aren’t we all lucky that we got to be part of this country?

Why is it then that people from so many countries still clamor to come here?

Now back to the budget, which the Santa Barbara City Council will approve this Tuesday, June 23.

Here is how the City Council

gave away the store in the last salary savings of $190,000.

During COVID, we all practiced due diligence and followed the guidelines, which included selfquarantine. As our country slowly reopened, the perfect storm occurred.

In the aftermath of the terrible unwarranted death of Mr. Floyd in Minneapolis, nationally organized and well-funded groups such as BLM and others joined forces, taking advantage of the atmosphere of widespread pent up emotions.

Cities all across America were terrorized. Stores were looted and burned down, and our rule of law and the police have been under attack ever since. As a matter of fact, police officers were killed and several hundred were severely injured all in the line of duty.

Our city officials stood not for the silent majority but cowered and were threatened into submission.

We watched our city officials get down on their knees at the demands of BLM. Understand this: We the public recommend a Vote of No Confidence. This is for all City Council members, the mayor and the chief of police.

There is no command presence on any of these fronts. We need leaders; not carpetbaggers, not hand wringers nor finger pointers.
