Southwest to start flights Monday By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Southwest Airlines will begin service out of Santa Barbara Municipal Airport this coming Monday.

Southwest Airlines will begin its service out of Santa Barbara Municipal Airport this coming Monday with an event to welcome the first flight from Las Vegas — complete with a water cannon salute from airport fire trucks. The airline is flying right out of the gate with five nonstop flights to Las Vegas, Oakland and Denver. This allows passengers to continue on to many more cities in the U.S. and even to Hawaii and Mexico. Travel agents and airport

officials hope the low-cost carrier will make airfares from Santa Barbara more competitive as it offers travelers more choices. “It’s very exciting,” Deanna Zachrisson, spokesperson for the airport, told the News-Press Wednesday. “Even if they sell those (first) flights half full, they still will have the largest market share in the Santa Barbara market. It’s fascinating to see how they’re coming and will immediately be the largest carrier.” She said Southwest will add valuable connecting points from Santa Barbara to other popular

cities, with Denver connecting travelers to the eastern side of the country and Oakland connecting travelers to Hawaii. Along with the addition of Southwest flights, she said that American Airlines is adding Chicago service out of Santa Barbara in May, and she believes United Airlines will also add Chicago in June. Alaska Airlines will add daily service to San Diego in June too. “We’ll be up to 11 cities by the end of June,” Ms. Zachrisson said. “That’s a pretty amazing place to be considering where we were a year ago. “Carriers here already, we

Listed as 0 More Mesa Drive, the property went back on the market for $65 million in August 2019.

Santa Barbara County Public Health officials say the latest report from a UCSB virology lab discovered 22 positive COVID-19 tests associated with the U.K. virus mutation, which accounted for nearly one-third of the tests evaluated in the sample. The health department, in collaboration with Cottage Health and the UCSB Virology Lab, is monitoring the spread of mutations of COVID-19 in the region. In a sample of 67 positive COVID-19 tests from March, researchers discovered 22 tests with the U.K. variant type, 29 tests with the California/West Coast variant type and 16 tests associated with the original COVID-19 virus strain. The discovery comes as federal health experts are sounding the alarm over the spread of the aggressive U.K.

A local land-use consultant affiliated with the current owner, Mark Lloyd, also told the News-Press the property is not in escrow, but that there are two prospective buyers who have put in offers on the property. He said they hope to go into escrow with one of those buyers. He said he didn’t know enough about the buyers to identify anything about them and would need their permission to discuss the matter.

gorjana selects Coast Village Road for newest location A Coast Village Road storefront compelled Gorjana Reidel and Jason Griffin Reidel to open their 19th retail location of their jewelry company gorjana. Prior to opening gorjana at 1273 Coast Village Road last week, they hadn’t acquired a new storefront during the pandemic. Sure, they’d finished pre-existing locations, but the couple stepped back before continuing the brand’s expansion. “Prior to the pandemic, we were doing so much planning. The one thing that the pandemic taught us is to do less planning and just be present in the day to day,” Mr. Reidel told the News-Press. They opened their first store five years ago on a whim in their home city of Laguna Beach, and it was a success. They’ve grown the business to include three stores in New York, one in Scottsdale, Ariz., and 15 locations throughout California. But the Montecito location reminds them of their nexus, Laguna Beach. He describes the two cities as coastal, artisan communities attractive to tourists but with a strong core of locals. Their family loves visiting Montecito and hiking alongside the ocean. He said it’s one of few places that are hard to leave. In November, they took a road trip to enjoy a long weekend in the Santa Barbara and Montecito area. They didn’t plan to look at retail locations, but they made a business connection that contacted the couple when the storefront on Coast Village Road became available. “When the space came up, it felt perfect for our brand,” Mr. Reidel said. “It just felt like the right space.” The storefront felt true to their style, and they transformed it to feel like home. “It was really important to us that if we did a store that it was something we were 100% about,” he said. The pandemic was intimidating to them as business owners, especially with a couple stores in the process of being built. “It’s a little scary because you have these stores, and you don’t know what’s going to happen to them,” Mr. Reidel said.

anticipate, are going to start adding capacity and fighting for that market share … Things are pretty fluid, but fluid in the right direction.” Karen Ensign, an independent travel advisor in Carpinteria, told the News-Press that the cities being served by Southwest are popular for both leisure and business travelers. As of the first week of April, she hadn’t had anyone book service from Southwest to/from Santa Barbara yet, but the airline is quite popular among her other clients

It is now easier to qualify for the less-restrictive orange tier, thanks to a change Tuesday by the California Department of Public Health. The case rate required to reach the orange tier is now 5.9 per 100,000 instead of the previous 3.9 requirement. As of Tuesday, the county’s case rate was 6.8 per 100,000, up from last week (5.3). The case rate is updated weekly on Tuesdays. The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department’s roving vaccine clinic will be stationed in Santa Barbara next week, and appointments open today. It will be held at the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort, at 633 E. Cabrillo Blvd. MondaySaturday. One day will be dedicated to second doses of the vaccine manufactured by Moderna,

but the clinic will otherwise be administering the Pfizer vaccine — which is approved for those 16 and older. The county is currently vaccinating those 16 and older, though third-party administrators like CVS Pharmacy are not obligated to open eligibility until April 15. “We will be entering a new phase of vaccination soon as every eligible community member will be able register for a COVID-19 vaccine appointment countywide on April 15. We welcome all county residents, especially south county residents, to our site in Santa Barbara. Invite your friends, family, and neighbors to take action and move us closer to the end of this pandemic,” Dr. Van DoReynoso, public health director, said in a statement. To register for an appointment, go to publichealthsbc.org/phdvaccination-clinics.

Residents 16 and older can now schedule vaccine appointments at Cottage Health through the state’s MyTurn system at myturn. ca.gov. Officials confirmed 28 new COVID-19 cases Wednesday, increasing the county’s total to 33,408 cases of which 194 are still infectious. Santa Maria detected seven new cases. It has a cumulative 11,242 cases, and 50 cases are still infectious. Santa Barbara recorded six new cases, which brings its total to 6,264 cases. Public Health deems 47 cases active in Santa Barbara.

treasury manager for the city, said in a news release. “As the state has lifted travel advisories, and as access to vaccinations has become more available, there is still public concern with potential new strains of the virus, efficacy of the vaccines and the impacts to the economy,” she said. “The local travel industry, however, is beginning to see increases in

demand for rooms relative to recent months that is likely to continue throughout the spring into the summer months.” The city has collected $8.3 million through the first eight months of the city’s fiscal year, which runs through June 30. The city’s adopted TOT budget is $17.2 million. TOT is projected to end the fiscal year at approximately $14.5 million, which is 16% below

budget. Transient Occupancy Tax, also known as bed tax, is charged to guests at short-term rentals such as hotels and motels. In fiscal year 2019-20, the city collected $15.1 million in Transient Occupancy Taxes, nearly $5 million less than the anticipated budgeted amount. — Mitchell White

SANTA MARIA — A trailer attached to a pickup truck was destroyed on Wednesday after catching fire in Santa Maria, authorities said. The fire was reported around noon Wednesday. Santa Barbara County Fire Department crews were joined on scene by personnel with the Santa Maria City Fire Department and found a large travel trailer fully involved in fire, said Capt. Bertucelli, county fire spokesman. The lone occupant was out of the trailer and was uninjured. Crews began to attack the fire and were able to knock down the

flames within 10 minutes. The blaze spread to some nearby trees and caused minor damage, Capt. Bertucelli said. The American Red Cross was contacted to assist the occupant for housing needs. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Thai basil This variety of cultivated sweet basil is primarily encountered in Asian-style cuisine. Known for its spicier notes and ability to withstand higher cooking temperatures compared to other varieties, it is a very common ingredient used to infuse flavor into soups and, quite notably, Thai green curry. This week I prepared a coconut Thai basil soup as the Fix of the Week. (See the next page.) Add it to a homemade pad thai dish or even a basic mixed green salad for a refreshing basil presence. You can also add Thai basil to a fruit salad for a unique flavor profile. It’s harvested and sold by Her Family Farm and Moua Family Farm at the Saturday Santa Barbara and Sunday Goleta farmers’ markets weekly. Price averages $2.50 per bunch.

Tango mandarin The diverse assortment of local citrus crops continue to fill in, including this tasty seasonal variety. Recognized by its bright orange thin shiny peel, this seedless variety is a favorite for those juicing for reduction sauces and beverages. Larger in size than many of its counterparts, this mandarin delivers a wonderful balance of sweet and tangy notes, making for a great general eating fruit in addition to juicing. Loaded with vitamin C, it is also a good source of vitamin A, fiber, potassium, calcium, iron and folate. It’s harvested fresh for the Saturday Santa Barbara farmers’ market by Somers Ranches during the spring season. Price is $2.50 per pound.

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

arío Higuera dreamed about re-enacting his grandfather’s mule pack train in Baja

California. In 2018, the vaquero’s dream came true, and filmmaker Trudi Angell and her crew went along for the ride. Of course, this wasn’t just any ride. This was a mule pack train traveling 200 miles during 20 days along the old El Camino Real trails with three generations of Mr. Higuera’s family. Among the riders were Mr. Higuera, his son

and his grandson, Ramoncito, 8. As many as 13 people rode a couple dozen or so mules and burros through the rugged backcountry from the oasis village of Comondú, Mexico, south to La Paz, the capital of Baja California Sur. You can watch the adventure in “La Recua: The Mule Pack Train.” The documentary is streaming this week at sbiff.org during the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, which concludes Saturday. Executive Producer Tom Huntington attended the film’s world premiere April 1 at the festival’s drive-in area at Santa Barbara City College. “It was exciting for me to be there to see the cars pull in,” Mr. Huntington told the News-Press this week by phone from his San Francisco home. He’s equally excited about “La Recua” (rék•wah), which means “caravan.” “It’s an absolutely, stunningly beautiful travel movie of the landscape of central Baja California with a mule train caravan,” Mr. Huntington said. Ms. Angell, who has had a long career leading mule pack trips in Baja California, made her debut as a filmmaker with “La Recua.” She’s the film’s producer and codirector.

Hass avocados Recognized by its bumpy “alligator” skin when not ripe, this fruit develops black hue when it’s ready to eat. Possessing an incredibly rich nutty flavor and creamy texture, a slight give to touch is all you need for the perfect firm-ripe avocado. Please ask your local farmers for assistance when selecting rather than squeezing the fruit at market. Accounting for more than 90% of the annual California avocado harvest, this variety is unmatched by any other. It’s currently available at all weekly Santa Barbara certified farmers markets from several local producers. Certified organic avocados are available. Price averages $3.50 per pound, or $1.50 each for a medium avocado. Sam Edelman is general manager of the Santa Barbara Certified Farmers Market Association and host of “Farm to Table,” which airs live 9 a.m. Thursdays on KZSB AM 1290. Sam Edelman photos

Darío Higuera realized his dream of reenacting his grandfather’s mule pack train in “La Recua,” which streams this week at sbiff.org, the Santa Barbara International Film Festival’s website.

At left, Trudi Angell, producer and co-director, said she loved recreating a sense of history and making the trip through the rugged backcountry in “La Recua: The Mule Pack Train.”At right, Trudi Angell and Darío Higuera collaborated on “La Recua: The Mule Pack Train,” in which Mr. Higuera reenacted the kind of mule pack train his grandfather rode.

The family-oriented, Spanish language film, which has English subtitles, was produced by a crew that consisted almost entirely of Mexican professionals from La Paz. The movie shows a piece of Old California history and resonates with a facet of Santa Barbara’s past, according to Ms. Angell. “I’ve been living in Baja

California for 35 years,” the Napa Valley native told the NewsPress by phone this week from her home in Loreto, Mexico. She makes her living leading tours in which people ride horses and mules through her company, Saddling South. About four years ago, she was out riding and met Mr. Higuera at his Baja California ranch, where

he told her, “Trudi, I’d really like to make an old mule pack train like my grandfather used to run.” “His grandfather had done that 80 years before,” Ms. Angell said. “There were no roads on the (Baja California) peninsula. That’s how merchandise got transferred, by mule pack trains.” Please see LA RECUA on A4

rom the first fresh zucchini and fava beans to the delicious wave of sweet strawberries and blueberries harvested daily from our area farms, the spring season has officially arrived. Also now in the mix is one of my favorite fresh herbs that I incorporate into everything from salads and pasta dishes to bruschetta and seafood preparations: aromatic basil. The Her Family Farm is always the first on the scene with the most diverse offerings of this culinary delight, each yielding slightly different properties. The most commonly recognized variety is the Italian basil, possessing the largest leaves with pleasing licorice-like notes throughout. Lemon basil is another great option that I most commonly enjoy pairing with seafood dishes. The leaves of lemon basil tends to be slightly smaller than its Italian counterpart and have a noticeable lemony aroma and tangier flavor. Finally — and probably my favorite — is the Thai basil. It’s noticeable by the variegated purple color that runs through the stems, flowers and partially into the veins of the leaves. This variety tends to be the most intense and peppery, giving your dish a little extra kick. Basil is a herb that I tend to add at the very end of the cooking process when used in hot preparations such as soups, stirfry’s and curry-style dishes. This week I incorporated my Thai basil into a coconut soup, a variation of a dish called tom kha gai. It’s a dish that I enjoyed throughout a trip to Thailand many years ago, and I also have found it at most local Thai restaurants. I would typically add some sliced peppers, both bell peppers and spicy Thai chilies to this dish.

Diversions horoscope • puzzles

ARIES — Think of yourself as a great pioneer crossing the frontier for the first time, Aries. Acknowledge yourself as the important person that you are. Believe in yourself and your rights and opinions. Indecision could hinder your actions. Don’t let it. Take an active stance at all times. Be brave in the face of hardships that you might confront today. You will be greatly rewarded when you do. TAURUS — Make sure you keep up your end of the bargain today, Taurus. People are counting on you whether you realize it or not. You may get the idea that you can sneak out of responsibility if you lay low and not say a word. The fact of the matter is that people are watching you and they will know when you haven’t upheld your promises to the group. GEMINI — You may feel tension in your world today without really knowing why, Gemini. This feeling of conflict may have your stomach in knots, making it difficult to deal with anything or anyone in a rational manner. Try not to take everything personally when people disapprove of your actions. Their reaction is to your behavior, not necessarily to you as a person. CANCER — Don’t downplay your abilities now, Cancer. You’re on the brink of greatness, so act like it. Things should go quite well if you let them. Don’t clog up the works by thinking that you’re unworthy of the good luck that is sure to come your way. If things don’t work out exactly the way you want them to, take it as a sign that the situation wasn’t right for you anyway. LEO — Take a leap of faith today, Leo. Consider taking two or three. Trust that things will follow through perfectly. You will be drawn to those who put a smile on your face. These are the people you need to stick close to now. A positive attitude will lead you in a positive direction. Have fun with your life instead of getting depressed by it. VIRGO — When others can’t seem to decide which way to proceed, it will become crucial that you stand up and be the deciding force, Virgo. Be as aggressive as you need to be today in order to set things in motion. The elements are already in place. What’s needed now is a bit of follow-through. You’re in the perfect position to provide this Monday, November 16, 2015 missing piece of the puzzle.

LIBRA — Your head may be going in a thousand different directions today, Libra. You may not have much time to stop and think about your next move. Things will come up suddenly and you will need to be able to react quickly. The faster you move, the less time you will have to react. For this reason, you may want to consider a side route where things are flowing a bit more slowly. SCORPIO — You’re apt to feel emotionally brave today, Scorpio, so take advantage of this feeling by extending it to the people around you. Try not to get anxious or jump ahead of yourself. Enjoy where you are at this very moment. Don’t get stressed about things you feel you need to do. Be happy with yourself regardless of what you end up accomplishing. SAGITTARIUS — Your biggest dream is in front of you, Sagittarius, yet there’s a large object standing in your path. When you peer around one way, the goal is only partly visible. When you peer around the other way, the other side of the dream becomes clear, but you still don’t have the complete picture. Instead of working with obscured vision, get rid of the thing that’s lying directly in your path. CAPRICORN — Luck and prosperity lie within your grasp now, Capricorn. The only problem is that you might not notice because you’re so caught up in some emotional drama that occupies your entire being. Don’t concern yourself with issues that don’t directly pertain to you. Your time and energy are too precious. Keep your mind focused on your biggest goals. AQUARIUS — You may fall into a bottomless pit today, Aquarius. Be careful about offering so much of yourself that you drain your internal resources. You might think other people will be equally generous about offering themselves to you. Don’t assume this. You’re better off assuming that you will get nothing in return. Play your cards from this standpoint and you may be a bit more conservative. PISCES — Don’t just talk about grand trips around the world start planning them, Pisces. If you don’t start saving your resources and reserving blocks of time for your dreams, they may never come true. Today is a good time to set things in motion. Your attitude is likely to be more flexible, and you will find that this way of thinking will bring you to the people and places that can help you the most.

Thought for Today

U W A T B

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 TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, (714)730-2727 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website, www.servicelinkASAP. com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9948-4955. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (800) 683-2468, or visit this internet website www.servicelinkASAP.com using the file number assigned to this case, 9948-4955, to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

Camarena’s homecoming becomes a fast trip around the track By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

SPORTS ROUNDUP

Positive COVID tests force DP to cancel football game at SBHS By MARK PATTON

UCSB’s Katie Camarena has been covering new ground even when in familiar territory. “This is where I grew up,” she said of Friday’s track-and-field road trip to the Sound Running Collegiate Invite in Irvine. “On the way down, I was pointing out things from high school, so it was very special. It was nice to be back.” Fast times from the senior from San Juan Hills High highlighted the meet for UCSB. Camarena ran the second-fastest 1500-meter race in school history with a clocking of 4:17.85. The Big West Conference rewarded her performance with its Track and Field Athlete of the Week Award. Camarena, whose previous best of 4:24.68 had ranked seventh alltime, now only trails the record of 4:15.39 set in 2019 by former teammate Jenna Hinkle. “Hopefully we can fill her shoes,” she said of Hinkle, who now serves as an assistant coach at UCSB. “We also have Astrid Rosvall, and we can do pretty well in the 15K together.” Rosvall got trapped in the back of the field during the early stages of Friday’s 1500. She made up for lost time, however, to move up the length of the field. She caught her Gaucho teammate just past the 600-meter mark. Camarena poised right on her shoulder, with the rest of the field almost a full 100-meters behind during the last stages. She then sprinted past Rosvall in the final strides to get the win.

Santa Barbara High lost its third football opponent in four weeks on Wednesday when Dos Pueblos High announced that COVID-19 protocols would prevent it from playing at Peabody Stadium on Friday. The Dons (1-1), who have also dealt with the cancelations of their season opener at San Marcos and last week’s home opener against Cabrillo, are trying to find a replacement opponent, according to school sources. They replaced Cabrillo last week with Hueneme, which had its game against Carpinteria canceled by the coronavirus. DP athletic director Dan Feldhaus said that several members of the Chargers’ football team have been placed in quarantine, in accordance with Santa Barbara Unified School District and County Health protocols. BOYS TENNIS Dos Pueblos 16, Santa Barbara 2 Will Steinberg won 18 of 19 games while sweeping his three singles matches to lead the unbeaten Chargers past the visiting Dons. Franklin Truong also went 3-0 in singles for DP (3-0). Andy Yang and Hugh Sutherland pulled out a 6-4 win over Santa Barbara’s No. 1 doubles team. GIRLS TENNIS Santa Barbara 13, Dos Pueblos 5 Sarah Ostovany led the Dons

to their win at DP. PREP TRACK Carpinteria at Santa Barbara The Dons’ Blaise Winston edged the Warriors’ Mateo Handall in an epic 400-meter dual, with both runners clocking personal bests of 52.16, in the first track meet to be held at Peabody Stadium since 1996. Santa Barbara won the team competition in both the boys’ meet (85-41) and girls’ meet (83-33). Winston added other victories in the 300 hurdles (45.08) and high jump (5-10) and anchored the winning 4x400 relay team. Davis Flanagin won the long jump (19-5) and triple jump (39-3.5). Elena Everest took the distance double, winning the girls 1600 (5:49.19) and the 3200 (13:24.67). Madison Tuckman won both the 100 hurdles (19.33) and the 300 (56.59). Carpinteria’s Vincent Rinaldi continued his early season domination of the sprints, winning the 100 in 11.15 and setting a Warrior senior-class record of 22.29 in the 200. PREP BASEBALL Cate 11, Newbury Park Adventist 1 Daniel Panadero, Tyler Tom and Cooke Tarleton combined to pitch a one-hitter for the Rams, while playing their first home game in two years. William Deardorff went 4-for4 with a double, scored three runs and drove in another. Matty Holmes had two hits with an RBI while freshman Liam Burdock added two hits of his own.

San Marcos 7, Cabrillo 1 Nicky Fell and Aidan Mandel had two hits apiece while Emmett Speake threw four shutout innings of relief to get the pitching win against the Conquistadores in a Santa Barbara Tournament game. Aiden Johnson started for San Marcos (6-1), allowing just one hit and one run. BOYS GOLF St. Joseph 448, Santa Ynez 449 The Pirates’ Callaway Winans took medalist honors with a one-under-par 71 on the River Course at the Alisal but the Knights pulled out a one-stroke team victory. Quinn Murray shot an 80 for St. Joseph. GIRLS GOLF St. Joseph 265, Santa Ynez 266 The Pirates’ Bridget Callaghan was low-medalist with a 45 on the front nine, but the Knights eked out a one-stroke win at the River Course. Bella Aldridge’s 47 led St. Joseph. MEN’S BASKETBALL UCSB gives Pasternack fiveyear contract extension Joe Pasternack confirmed that UCSB has given him a fiveyear extension of his contract as coach of the Gaucho men’s basketball team. Pasternack has a 88-34 record during his four seasons at UCSB (.721 winning percentage). This year’s Gauchos went 22-5 and won both the Big West Conference regular-season and tournament titles to advance to the NCAA Tournament. email: mpatton@newspress.com

Sometimes, their fares are similar and even higher to other carriers. Where they have lower fares, I think they’ll do great.” Ms. Cole-Dombroski pointed out that United has been the main carrier to Denver for years, so she’s unsure of how Southwest will do to Denver. In addition, she said Southwest will only benefit her business with booking fees she charges her clients, because Southwest is “not super agency friendly.” “I think price is what will drive leisure travelers and some corporate travelers,” she said. “What I’ve seen in the past, living here since 1988, is that when a new airline comes

“Katie and Astrid were phenomenal in the 1500,” coach Darius Kelly said, “and they looked like they had more in the tank.” It was Rosvall’s presence that actually prompted Camarena to enter the 1500 on Friday night. “I was on the fence about actually racing, and then we decided to jump in and do it because we haven’t been able to

Research is ongoing to determine just how contagious the U.K. variant is compared to other mutations, but early results suggest B.1.1.7 is “considerably more contagious than the original virus,” according to the National Institute of Health. States like Michigan, Maryland and Minnesota, among others, are currently seeing case surges likely caused by the infectious U.K. variant. Despite these surges in the East, Dr. Henning Ansorg, the public health officer for the county, said he is not alarmed by the spread of the mutation locally. The California strain, which is

educational opportunities for both local and out-of-market residents. “From a hospitality perspective, Southwest’s low fares and expansive network will make Santa Barbara an even stronger competitor for leisure travelers, meetings and destination weddings,” she told the NewsPress. “It will bring new customers for Santa Barbara’s hotels, restaurants, wineries and attractions.” The arrival of Southwest is a result of the years-long advocacy by Visit Santa Barbara, the airport and city officials. Visit Santa Barbara committed $250,000 to support new Southwest flights through marketing. “This travel should encourage support for the hospitality workforce who have been deeply affected by COVID-19,” Kristen Miller, the South Coast Chamber of Commerce president and CEO, told the News-Press. “This is an attractive area to visit and Southwest has a large network of destinations so, in time, we are hopeful the airline will add more destinations and flights.” Monday’s event, which is hosted by the Santa Barbara Airport and Visit Santa Barbara, will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Fire trucks will salute each flight arriving with the water cannons, and a team of Southwest officials will be present to welcome the new planes. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

run together,” Camarena said. “It definitely feels good and gives me confidence going forward.” Rosvall’s second-place time of 4:18.53 shattered her previous best of 4:25.55 and moved her into third place all-time at UCSB. “I was really hoping to go under 4:20 — it’s been a goal for a long time,” she said. The junior from Stockholm, Sweden won the 800 at the Irvine meet in a time of 2:07.34 The Gauchos’ dynamic duo had little time to rest on their laurels, competing less than 24

hours later in Saturday’s Mustang Quad Meet in San Luis Obispo. Rosvall’s time of 2:06.70 in the 800 moved her past Hinkle and into third place in UCSB’s record books. Camarena was second in 2:08.64 — the fifth-fastest 800 in Gaucho history. Camarena redshirted last year after having won the 2019 Big West Conference championship in the steeplechase. She also placed second in the 5000 and third in the 1500 at that league meet. Rosvall, for one, is glad to have

her back after a year’s hiatus. “It’s great to always have each other at every workout, and now racing together,” she said. “This was Katie’s first race back in a uniform, so it was fun.” Camarena has high hopes for the rest of the season. She ranks sixth nationally in the 1500 while Rosvall ranks eighth. “The sky’s the limit,” Camarena said. “This is the fittest I’ve ever been … There’s no doubting it at this point.”

still the most prevalent COVID-19 variant in the county, has been labeled as a “variant of concern” by the CDC and is already more aggressive than mutations seen in the Midwest and East Coast. Dr. Ansorg said he is hopeful there could be some protection from the effects of the contagious U.K. variant. “Our thinking here locally is that the California/Western type variant might be a little protective or might make it more difficult for the U.K. variant to really take hold compared to the Midwest part of the county,” Dr. Ansorg told the News-Press on Wednesday. Officials remain confident that current vaccines still provide protection against the known virus strains. Dr. Ansorg said virus mutations are common and nothing out of the ordinary, though some mutations can become stronger than others. This, he said, is what researchers are currently witnessing with the aggressive California/Western and U.K. variants. “(Variants) are just going to be something that we have to live with as long as coronavirus is here, and we just have to make sure that our vaccines work

against newcomers,” Dr. Ansorg said. “For now, they do, which is wonderful. That’s why I’m not so alarmed because those aggressive type virus strains will become more predominant, and that’s just the nature of the virus spreading in people. As long as our vaccination (rates) go up, we should be in a good position to beat this thing.” The best way to protect against the U.K. variant is the same as all other strains — wear a mask, avoid crowds and get a vaccine as soon as possible, Dr. Ansorg advised. Health officials largely agree that expanding vaccinations will be the key to reducing the effects of variants that will inevitably spread so long as COVID-19 exists. Dr. Marjorie Newman, the medical director of Sansum Clinic, called the vaccine effort a “race against time” at this point, as local officials are working to diminish the effects of variants through inoculation. She said it is important that people in the county sign up for vaccine appointments as soon as possible to avoid another surge in cases. “I think (what’s happening in the Midwest) is a cautionary tale

for us … my hope is that we’re not in the eye of the hurricane and just waiting for the rest to hit,” Dr. Newman said. “My hope is that we are truly going to see a sustained decline and continue to vaccinate people and have this (pandemic) in our rearview mirror. And I’m not sure we can say that with one hundred percent assurance at all yet.” While California is seeing increased numbers of cases associated with the U.K. variant, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Tuesday that he plans to dissolve the tier system by June 15 if vaccinations increase and hospitalizations remain low. Dr. Ansorg said he believes this is a reasonable projection from the governor, especially as cases are trending downward statewide and vaccine eligibility is rapidly expanding. “If we don’t see a fourth surge (of cases) and the hospitalizations stay low across the state, then there is really no reason why we shouldn’t open up more ... I agree with Gov. Newsom’s approach,” Dr. Ansorg said. “I think it’s proactive, and I think it’s reasonable.”

Sidney David Kastner, passed away peacefully at his home in Santa Ynez, California on April 3rd, 2021 at the age of 90. Sid is survived by his wife of 63 years, Linda, his three children Jim, Ken, and Beth and 5 grandchildren (Wendy, Jack, Mollie, Emily, and Charlie), 3 greatgrandchildren (Griffin, Emma, Ainsley), his sister Dorothy Zuch, daughter in laws Jenny and Shannyn, as well as his trusted friends and confidants, Tom Cantella and Francisco (Chico) Guerrero. He was known for having no filter, saying, and doing whatever he wanted, and getting away with it. Sid immigrated from Montreal, Canada in his teens and was proud of his Canadian roots and honored to be a naturalized United States citizen. It seems so appropriate that his birthday was July 4th. After serving in the Army, Sid started his own company, United Business Interiors. He aptly played all roles within the business until he could hire an actual staff. He grew his business, from next to nothing to be a leader in his chosen field, and a true statesman of the office interiors industry. Sid loved all things Americana, but his biggest joy was collecting early American musical instruments. He loved to give tours of his museum, regaling anyone and everyone with a story of each machine, its history and significance. Sid’s love of history and his commitment to Downtown Los Angeles, gave him a unique opportunity when he heard that Angels Flight was being renovated. They needed a place to store the cars, and he jumped at the chance to house them in his museum until the project was completed. Sid was also a proud Rancheros Vistadores, Los Charros. He loved his time with his fellow riders and coveted his roping days with his son Jim as some of the best of his life. Sid, along with his wife lived life to its fullest. No challenge was too difficult. The world was their canvas, whether it be spending time in the San Juan Islands, boating, traveling, riding horses, or sitting at the dining room table gazing out over the valley, and saying, to anyone that would listen, what a beautiful place it was. Our family gives a heartfelt gratitude to his caregiver Jessica Guiterrez. A celebration of his life is being planned by his family. Hold those you love dear and may Sid’s memory be a blessing.

Ruth Ida Fischer Radon was born in Milwaukee Wisconsin on November 8, 1928 to Alfred Emil Fischer and Elsbeth Ida Draeger Fischer. Both of her parents were recent immigrants from Germany. Ruth grew up in Milwaukee until 16 when she went to college at Northwest Nazarene University in Idaho studying pathology and also excelled at tennis, winning the women’s singles championship one of the years. She became a licensed lab technician at 21. While at college her parents moved to the San Fernando Valley following some friends from Milwaukee. Ruth joined them in California after college and worked at the V.A. Hospital in Sherman Oaks in the early ‘50s. Another move had her parents relocating to Santa Barbara where she met and married Marvin Randall while attending UCSB to complete her degree in zoology. During this time Ruth was also a violinist for the Santa Barbara Symphony Orchestra. After the marriage to Marvin ended, Ruth met and married George Radon in 1964. After a brief move to Morro Bay, the family landed in Avalon on Catalina Island in 1969, staying there until 1979 when they moved back to Santa Barbara. Throughout her career of 40+ years, Ruth enjoyed working as a medical lab technician finishing her career at Santa Barbara Medical Foundation Clinic, retiring in the early ‘90s. Very active members of their church at Living Faith Church in Goleta and residents of Rancho Santa Barbara, George and Ruth were well loved by all who knew them. Actively donating time and resources to many charities, they were a blessing to many who never met them as well as their family and many many friends. Preceded in death by husband George in 2018, Ruth is survived by daughters Carolyne and Julie and 7 grandchildren. Burial at Goleta Cemetery, Friday April 9 at 11am.
