Vulnerable groups at risk despite vaccine Local doctors give advice to high-risk population By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

COURTESY PHOTOS

“I am telling my patients to please encourage their friends, neighbors and acquaintances to get vaccinated as soon as possible to help end the pandemic,” said Dr. Stuart Segal, rheumatologist at Sansum Clinic.

Immunocompromised people are wary of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s new mask guidelines, worried that less mask adherence will lead to more COVID-19 cases among vulnerable groups. Some are afraid to be in public again, they expressed in Twitter posts. Two physicians at Sansum Clinic told the News-Press that patients should be cognizant of their vulnerability but didn’t recommend drastic measures. The concern follows the publication of John Hopkins Medicine research concluding that immunosuppressed patients

are less likely to build a strong immunity to COVID-19 after two doses of vaccine. The study looked at people with solid organ transplants and compared patients who do and don’t take antimetabolites, a class of drugs that are used to suppress the immune system. Of participants taking antimetabolites, 57% didn’t have an immune response to dose one or two of a COVID-19 vaccine. And 18% of transplant patients without antimetabolites didn’t form immunity. Dr. David Fisk, infectious disease expert with Cottage Health and Sansum Clinic, compared the data to the over 90% of Americans developing

immunity from vaccines. He noted that the vaccines approved for use in the United States have the highest rate of responsiveness. The issue may be more prominent in countries using vaccines with lower rates. He has seen people contract COVID-19 that had already been vaccinated — particularly those with weakened immune systems. “Conversely, not all groups of people with weakened immune systems have the same risk,” he told the News-Press on Wednesday. The conversation revolved around the groups studied to have drastic reactions, like those with organ transplants and certain forms of leukemia. But research

on immunocompromised patients has only recently started to publish. Specific antibody tests, often used in critical trials, can be used on patients to determine if they had an immune response. But there is not yet a standard for how strong of a reaction is enough to protect oneself from COVID-19. Another piece that is yet to be formally studied is changing when patients take their immunosuppressants to form a stronger response to a COVID-19 vaccine.

Animal Services’ new vision

Data shows pandemic’s impact on local economy

County division establishes measures to reduce shelter intake

By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

Santa Barbara County Animal Services is fetching a new vision to help the region’s furry friends, aiming to engage community partners and provide alternatives to impounding. The new vision, which centers on principles established by the nationwide Human Animal Support Services coalition, focuses on two primary goals. The first is reducing shelter intake and moving animals through the system quickly, and the second is reallocating resources to serve more animals and people outside of the shelter walls. In action, the fulfillment of these goals looks like engaging with local organizations to host free community clinics and creating pet food banks within local resource centers. It also means promoting the Animal Services’ foster program, which allows community members to care for an animal outside of the shelter until the pet is adopted. Animal Services, which is part of the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department, is already making strides to achieve these goals. Just a few weeks ago, Animal Services held a joint community clinic in Guadalupe, where more Please see VISION on A4

Composing for change Local composer writes concert piece for Foothills Forever By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The campaign to purchase the San Marcos Foothills West Mesa to prevent housing developments needs an additional $8.8 million in less than two weeks, to meet the $18.6 million goal by June 1. Cody Westheimer felt the urgency of the need for funds, and he decided to tell the story of the San Marcos Foothills in his own way, with song and film. On Wednesday morning, he released a two and a half minute

video on YouTube that features his original piece “Foothills Forever” for string orchestra, with scenic shots of the landscape and his intimate creative process. “I know we have a long way to go, but there’s such momentum behind it at this point that this is kind of my last desperate plea — to write an orchestral piece,” Mr. Westheimer told the News-Press. “It’s such a cherished space.” The Santa Barbara composer has been working as a film and TV composer for more than two decades, amassing well more than

including ones shown on BBC, Smithsonian Channel, Tandem, PBS Nature and CBS. Mr. Westheimer grew up in Goleta, and his first orchestral work made its debut during a Santa Barbara Symphony concert. The composer was only 17 years old when he wrote the piece, titled “An Island is Born,” which he said was alluding to Santa Barbara’s Channel Islands. “I just enjoy telling stories,” he said. “I would say that’s kind of my knack, getting an efficient little Please see COMPOSER on A2

Four out of five parents in Santa Barbara County had to either alter or reduce their work schedule or leave their job to care for and help educate their children during the pandemic. Forty percent fewer businesses are open. And lower-paying industry clusters have suffered an “economic earthquake.” That’s according to one of the first local COVID-19 impact reports. Those findings, among many others, were shared at the Regional Economic Action Coalition of the Central Coast’s webinar Wednesday morning to update county leaders and Workforce Development Boards in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. The data is used to drive decisions and allocate federal funding. REACH released reports on the economic impact and recovery outlook for the Central Coast in general and Santa Barbara County in particular. The research was produced using data from a range of public and proprietary sources, according to the report. Most statistics were reported as of February 2021. Some of the key findings from the impact on the Central Coast were that: As of early February 2021, 40% fewer businesses were open on the Central Coast than in early March 2020; the industry clusters with the lowest-average wages are also the clusters that have been hit the hardest economically; and lowest-earning workers made up most of COVIDrelated job losses. In Santa Barbara County, key findings included that higherpaying industry clusters in the county experienced a minor recession through the pandemic, while lower-paying industry clusters went through an “economic earthquake.” Other findings were: Impacts of disruption to schools and childcare are substantial and are continuing to affect the county’s economy; the county’s high costs of living drive the greatest hiring challenges that nonprofit organizations face. And, according to REACH, despite the dawning of an economic recovery, most

households have moderate to negative outlooks on the immediate future and a more negative outlook for the next generation. Josh Williams, the president and principal researcher of BW Research, gave a presentation on the data, key challenges facing the region and potential paths to economic recovery. “Business revenues in both California and the Central Coast were almost one-third lower than they were in March of 2020,” Mr. Williams said at the webinar, which gained more than 350 attendees. “We’re starting to see recovery in some early March data, but the Southern Coast is a little bit lower in terms of business revenue.” He talked at length about the fact that the higher-earning industries in the county — such as information, communication, technology, finance, insurance, real estate, biotechnology and more — experienced little to no impact from the pandemic, yet the lower-earning industry clusters such as tourism, hospitality, recreation, retail and others saw the most severe impacts. However, more than half of the jobs on the Central Coast qualify as lower-wage positions, earning between $27,000 to $30,000 a year. The tourism, hospitality and recreation sector alone saw over a 50% decline in revenue. “(This is) particularly challenging, given the Central Coast does have a higher cost of living which tends to be higher than the rest of the state,” Mr. Williams said. “The people who are least able to afford a loss of employment and least able to afford living on the Central Coast have lost their jobs.” He also pointed out the impact the pandemic had on child care. A graph in the report showed that, in a survey taken by residents of the Central Coast, at least 81% of adults had to either alter their work schedule, reduce their work schedule or leave their job to take care of their child or children. And, more than half of those adults reported that the supervising adult’s work schedule or ability to work is still being affected. Furthermore, REACH’s data Please see REACH on B4

Most notably, Mr. Westheimer wrote the Tour de France theme for NBC, which the company is still using to date. He’s written other scores for Major League Soccer, the National Dog Show and the America’s Cup. His music has even played side by side with John Williams’ theme on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” Mr. Westheimer has also written for many nature and wildlife documentaries and IMAX films,

Controlled burn planned next week LOS OLIVOS — The Santa Barbara County Fire Department has scheduled a range improvement burn Wednesday and May 27 in Los Olivos. The two-day burn, planned for the area of 4100 Figueroa Mountain Road, is aimed at providing live fire training for the certification of instructors to teach CA-219 Firing Operations class and to train new firefighters on wildland fire behavior, according to fire officials. The class is used to teach both firefighters and private land managers to use fire as a tool for both fighting large scale wildfires and to manage prescribed fire being used as a land management tool. Approximately 90 acres of grassland and Black Sage Scrub

will be burned, with the burn set to begin at 9:30 a.m. and conclude at 6 p.m. on a permissive burn day. Staff with the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District have reviewed the smoke management plan and provided conditions to minimize smoke impacts in the county. “Due to changing winds and weather conditions, it is difficult to predict which areas of the county, if any, may be most affected by smoke from the burn,” read a department news release. “If you smell smoke, take precautions and use common sense to reduce any harmful health effects by limiting outdoor activities. When you can smell smoke or when it is visible in your area, avoid strenuous outdoor activity and remain indoors as much as possible. These precautions are especially important to children, older adults, and those with heart and lung conditions. If you are sensitive

to smoke, consider temporarily relocating and closing all doors and windows on the day of the burn.” Symptoms of smoke exposure can include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, chest tightness or pain, nausea, and unusual fatigue or lightheadedness. Motorists are advised to use caution while driving near prescribed fire operations. For more information on the county’s air quality, visit www. ourair.org.

County reports eight new cases of COVID-19 NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department reported eight new cases of COVID-19 and no new deaths Wednesday. Officials reported four new cases in Santa Maria on Wednesday, and just one new case in Lompoc, Santa Barbara and the South County unincorporated areas of

Montecito, Summerland and the city of Carpinteria. The geographic region of one case is pending. All other areas reported no new infections on Wednesday. The county’s active case is continuing to trend downwards and now stands at 62 infections. With case rates on the decline, vaccine rates continue to increase both locally and statewide. To date, two-thirds of adult Californians are at least partially

vaccinated, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC posted new figures Wednesday that showed 67.3% of residents age 18 and older have received at least one dose of the vaccine. In Santa Barbara County specifically, 60.8% of the county’s eligible population of people over the age of 12 have received at least one shot of the vaccine. This equates to about 48.9% of the

eligible population who is fully vaccinated. Overall, 41.3% of the county population is fully vaccinated as of Wednesday. Currently, 16 people are hospitalized for COVID-19, including three who are recovering in the ICU.

Summer Solstice Celebration channels creativity The 47th annual Summer Solstice Celebration is budding with the first signs of this year’s virtual parade and festivities — including a new activity: house decorations. The Summer Solstice board is encouraging businesses and households to embellish exteriors with lawn ornaments and other decor related to this year’s theme of “bloom.” “This year, because we can’t bring people together, this is a new way we can bring people together for the whole month of June,” Solstice Executive Director

Robin Elander told the NewsPress. Artist Claudia Bratton, who formerly served as Solstice executive director was the first to decorate her home. She, alongside artist Carlos Cuellar, adorned the house’s facade with a large pinwheel, sunflowers and colorful fish made of palm fronds and pods from local trees. Community members can hire Solstice artists, like Mr. Cuellar, to spruce up their house or business. The celebration will include a guide that maps out the locations decked out for the solstice. Anyone can participate, but the deadline to be included in the

guide is Monday. To get in on this portion of the celebration, go to forms.gle/Bw1jaQFpdJhpDWMc7. Like last year, the 2021 parade will be held virtually. Community members can submit their own photos and videos or sign up for a time this weekend to film with the Summer Solstice staff. “Last year was a difficult year, but what came out of the community submissions were just extraordinary,” Ms. Elander said. “It was so heartwarming with all of the ways people submitted. It was very special.” The staff and TVSB are filming groups (under 10 people) at the Community Arts Workshop, located at 631 Garden St. in Santa

story told in a few minutes.” To tell the story of the San Marcos Foothills, though, the composer knew he needed to immerse himself in nature for inspiration — a process he calls “free range composing.” He headed out to the foothills with his “studio backpack,” a portable recording studio, and he ended up with an original piece in just a couple of days’ time. “With the foothills, it felt so relevant to be able to be out there like a painter would be out with a canvas,” Mr. Westheimer said. “Composers are usually locked in a studio with a piano or whatever they use indoors, so this idea of being outside — I thought the San Marcos Foothills was the perfect opportunity to employ that. “If a painter had a choice between going off of pictures of the landscape or the landscape itself, they would absolutely choose being in the landscape.” The composer and filmmaker has created other short documentaries on wildlife preserves in California, including one on preventing Ellwood Mesa

Plans to bring his studio backpack up to the Douglas Family Preserve and to the tip top of Gibraltar, being an avid cyclist, are of interest to Mr. Westheimer. He said of his “Foothills Forever” piece, “I was really

inspired by what I created. It was an interesting cascade coming up with the music, recording the music, going through the footage that I self-shot.

He referred to the residents behind the Foothills Forever movement as “heroic,” and that he is “so grateful someone took this cause on.” “Santa Barbara is such an incredible place, but we can’t just fill up all the land and expect for it to still be as special a place,” the composer said. “I really hope this is one of those community forming moments … I remember the energy around Ellwood and Wilcox (Douglas Family Preserve). The community was buzzing about it, and we did it. There’s no houses there. “That was 20 years ago, and I feel like San Marcos deserves that same buzz.” The film can be viewed at tinyurl.com/foothillsforever.

Ty breaks the tie to cap Dons’ 3-2, comeback victory By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Ty Montgomery wasn’t thrilled when he didn’t get to start Santa Barbara High’s baseball game against Santa Ynez on Wednesday. He was ecstatic, however, when finished it. Montgomery’s pinch-hit single in the bottom of sixth inning scored Jordan Harris with the winning run to cap the Dons’ 3-2, comeback victory over the Pirates at Eddie Mathews Field. “I wasn’t happy at the start of the game but I’m here for my team,” Montgomery said. “It’s a team game.” The win keeps Santa Barbara (135, 10-2 Channel League) in a tie with San Marcos (16-3, 10-2) atop the conference standings. The Dons, ranked fourth in this week’s CIF-Southern Section Division 3 poll, were coming off a 3-1 loss on Friday to third-place Dos Pueblos (14-6, 9-3). “Now they’re right behind us,” Montgomery said of the 9-3 Chargers, “but it does add a little bit more to these games.” Santa Ynez (7-11, 4-8) got a complete-game, six-hit pitching effort from junior Jackson Cloud. The Pirates stranded nine runners, however, which included four that had reached scoring position. Dons coach Steve Schuck chalked it up to another clutch pitching performance by junior lefthander Juan Perez. He scattered eight hits, ending three of his five innings with a strikeout. He whiffed eight Pirates altogether before leaving with the game tied at 2-all. “I don’t want to take it for granted, but he does it a lot,” Schuck said. “I don’t want us to get used to it but

when the pressure comes on, Juan kind of shines. He just wills himself. Sometimes that’s all you need.” Senior Erick Elizalde got the pitching win with two innings of one-hit relief, striking out three Pirates. “He’s confident,” Schuck said. “He’s ready to go and wants the ball.” Santa Ynez’s two-run second inning could’ve been bigger if Dons’ left fielder Jack Holland hadn’t robbed leadoff hitter Caleb Cassidy with a diving catch in left-center. One out later, Tanner Padfield lined a single to left, took second on an infield single by Seth Ruiz and scored on a single to right by Victor Heredia. Ruiz followed him home on Shane Stewart’s infield single. Stewart went 2-for-3, while Mikey Gills and Owen Hunt both went 2-for-4. The Dons finally scored in the fourth without hitting the ball out of the infield. Holland led off with a walk, stole second base, took third on Harris’ ground out and raced home on Sam Russell’s infield single up the middle. Santa Barbara connected more solidly in the fifth, beginning with Dawson’s line single to right. Dawson, who went 2-for-4 in the game, had to hold up at second base on Vince Gamberdella’s booming single that sailed just over the head of Santa Ynez center fielder Adam Stephens. He made it home, however, on another long single to the centerfield fence by Elizalde. Cloud pitched out of the jam by getting the next three outs on a grounder and two strikeouts, keeping the score knotted at 2-all. The Dons thought they had taken the lead with Harris’ first swing of the sixth. His drive down the left-

field line sailed high over the fence but was ruled a foul ball. Schuck argued that the ball had gone directly over the foul pole. “It is what it is, but that’s a major, major call to blow in a tight game like that with so much on the line,” he said. It became a moot point, however, after Harris walked, took second on Russell’s sacrifice bunt and scored when Montgomery lined his gamewinning single to center. “He was ready, and that’s what we need,” Schuck said. “That comes from being on the bench and watching the game and Ty did it. Ty stayed plugged in and was huge.”

Montgomery admitted that he was chomping at the bit and not about to wait for one of Cloud’s wicked, latecount curveballs. He smashed the first pitch he saw into center. “It was a fastball,” he said, “and I’ve got to hit it.” The two teams will play again on Friday at Santa Ynez. “It’s a big series,” Schuck said. “They’re all big. Now Friday’s huge. “We’ve lost our little cushion, so to speak, but everything is still in our hands. We’ve just got to go take care of it on Friday.” email: mpatton@newspress.com

SPORTS ROUNDUP

Royals, Chargers keep pace in close Channel League baseball race By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

San Marcos High’s baseball game against Lompoc on Wednesday was as tight as the Channel League race. The Royals held off Lompoc 4-3 at Joe Mueller Field to remain tied with Santa Barbara atop the league standings. Nathan Lynk’s two-run single in the fourth inning gave San Marcos (16-3, 10-2) the lead for good. Henry Manfredonia and Emmett Speake also had RBI hits for the Royals. Cole Schoenwetter got the pitching win, allowing just one hit and one run with seven strikeouts in four innings. Aiden Johnson threw two innings of relief while Chase Hoover earned the save by closing out the seventh. DOS PUEBLOS 23, CABRILLO 3 Ryan Speshyock, coming off Friday’s big pitching win over Santa Barbara, showed that he could swing a potent bat, as well. His two-run home run in the first inning touched off a 23-hit explosion for the Chargers in their rout at Cabrillo. Speshyock went 3-for-6 while Jackson Greaney was 4-for-4 with a double and two RBIs. Dylan Bailey’s three hits included a triple. He drove in three runs and scored four. Ethan Rodrigues scored four runs and drove in two. Joe Talarico and Kellan Montgomery each had two hits and three RBIs. Montgomery also pitched the first three innings, striking out five. Jordan Rico added three strikeouts in two innings of shutout relief while Dylan Bailey whiffed three Conquistadores over the final two innings. DP (14-6, 9-3) remained one game behind Santa Barbara and San Marcos with three games remaining on the Channel League schedule. COLLEGE BASEBALL GWINNETT 14, WESTMONT 4 Georgia Gwinnett pounded five Westmont College pitchers for 14 hits — six for extra bases — to end the Warriors’ baseball season in the loser’s bracket final of the Santa Barbara Bracket Regional of the NAIA National Tournament. Gwinnett (45-10), ranked sixth in the NAIA, also defeated No. 14 Hope International (29-14) on Wednesday afternoon, 12-4. The two teams will play again today at noon, with the winner advancing to the NAIA World Series. The Warriors (30-22) committed five errors which included a pair of wild throws which led to the Grizzlies’ first run in the first inning. “Our performance was just uncharacteristic,” coach Robert Ruiz said. “We just made mistakes today that we just don’t typically make and that just made it tough on us.” Gwinnett added three runs in the second, two in the fifth, and seized a 9-0 lead in the sixth on Nick Barnes’ three-run home run. Westmont’s Brady Renck broke up Adam McKillican’s shutout with an RBI single in the bottom of the sixth. The Grizzlies answered with Chase Evans’ solo homer in the top

of the seventh, but the Warriors scored three more in the bottom of the inning. Devin Perez knocked in the first run with a pinch-hit single. He and Andrew Bayard then came around to score on a double by Daniel Netz to reduce Gwinnett’s lead to 10-4. Reliever Hunter Moody, however, blanked Westmont on two hits over the final two innings. Bayard and John Jensen, a former Santa Barbara High and SBCC star who played his final game for the Warriors, both went 2-for-5. GIRLS SOFTBALL SAN MARCOS 8, LOMPOC 0 Allie Fryklund pitched a one-hit shutout with 11 strikeouts and went 2-for-4 at the plate to keep the Royals tied with Dos Pueblos in the Channel League standings. Gigi Gritt and Tiana Monaghan had two hits and two RBIs apiece for San Marcos (14-4, 11-1 Channel League). Kamilah Morales scored three runs. DOS PUEBLOS 9, CABRILLO 2 Mia Reveles’ bases-loaded double in the third inning broke open the game for the Chargers. Georgia Wilson pitched the complete-game victory for DP (15-4, 111), allowing just five hits with eight strikeouts. SANTA YNEZ 13, SANTA BARBARA 7 Kylee Johnson and Riley Vannasap had two hits apiece, Sydney Gills hit a double, and Aleena Madrid scored three runs for the Pirates. BOYS GOLF SAN MARCOS 397, DOS PUEBLOS 441 The undefeated Royals won their 15th match of the season — 10-0 in the Channel League — with their win at the Glen Annie Golf Course. Freshman Shams Jahangir-Arshad played 5-under-par golf on the back nine to finish with a two-under 69. Leo Metzger scored a 72 while Jeffery Forster added a 78. “Shams had a three-hole stretch that he was 4-under,” coach Jeff Ashton said, noting birdies on holes 12 and 13 and an eagle on the 14th. SANTA BARBARA 400, CABRILLO 475 Hudson Hatton’s 72 paced the Dons’ victory at the Santa Barbara Golf Club, improving their Channel League record to 7-3.

Santa BarBara newS-PreSS OBituarieS HEWS, Viola “Vi” Marie

Viola “Vi” Marie Hews went to be with the Lord peacefully in her sleep on May 12, 2021 at the age of 99. Vi was born on December 9, 1921 to Domenic and Annunziata Reti in Conway, Pennsylvania. She was the youngest of 6 children with siblings Frances, Johnny, Tony, Laura, and Angelo. After finishing school, Vi moved out to California to start a new life. Vi met and married Glen Newman on June 30, 1945 and had children Jacquelyn (Jackie) and Bruce. They later divorced and she met and married Lawrence (Larry) Hews on August 28, 1964 and had daughter Charisse. Vi had lived in Pasadena and Rancho Palos Verdes, California before moving to Solvang, California in 1978. Vi was an amazing and devoted mother and grandmother (aka Nonie) to her family. Her family was her priority. She never missed a game, school program, holiday, or any other opportunity to spend time with her family. Vi loved parties and being social. She was the life of the party. Vi was also a legend at throwing the best Super Bowl parties ever. Vi loved to play golf and was active in the Alisal Ranch Golf Club. She also loved to play bridge at the golf club as well as the Solvang Senior Center. She was also very active at the San Lorenzo Seminary and the Old Mission Santa Inez. COURTESY PHOTOS

VISION

Continued from Page A1 than 360 animals were served outside shelter walls. Additionally, Animal Services plans to open two community resource centers at the Lompoc and Goleta shelters next week, which will provide a free food bank for local pet owners. Angela Yates, the director of Animal Services, presented the new vision to the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors Tuesday and received unanimous support from officials. By focusing on these goals, Ms. Yates is hopeful Animal Services can address the reasons why someone chooses to abandon their pets before it happens. She hopes that by adopting a preventative approach, Animal Services can decrease shelter intake and keep pets united with their owners. “When we talk about, you know, reducing intake, it’s about getting in front of the reason (for pet abandonment),” Ms. Yates told the News-Press. She added that “providing the veterinary care, or the pet food that somebody needs, or the behavior support” are all services that could prevent someone from giving up their pet.

“It’s a terrible thing for somebody to have to think about giving up a beloved animal because they had to make a choice between putting food in their dog bowl, or food on their own plate, or food on their children’s plates,” Ms. Yates said. “And so we really don’t want those choices to be made by our community members. And so being able to partner with C.A.R.E.4Paws and these other organizations to provide free pet food to people that need it is a huge way of preventing animals from being surrendered, as well as access to low-cost or free veterinary care.” Animal Services’ new focus comes after a year of reimagination for the animal services industry as a whole, Ms. Yates said. With people stuck at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, local interest grew in the department’s animal foster program, which allows community members to bring shelter animals into their homes and house them until they are adopted. Over the past pandemic year, hundreds of animals sheltered by Animal Services were fostered by individuals and families across the region, Ms. Yates said. It’s for this reason Ms. Yates

found a “silver lining” in the COVID-19 crisis, pointing to the past year as inspiration to partner with community organizations and reshape the department’s mission. “We taught ourselves, our community members and our decision makers that the only way to help animals is to scoop them up and bring them into the shelter,” Ms. Yates said. “And then we measure our success based on the number of animals that we take in and the number of animals that leave to, you know, live outcomes. We really have to rethink that model because if we can get ahead on the prevention side, and we can start measuring our success by prevention, it’s better for the animals, and it’s way better for our community members.” Looking toward the future, Ms. Yates said she sees the department moving further from the traditional model of impounding animals for long periods of time with the county’s shelters in Santa Maria, Goleta and Lompoc. During Tuesday’s meeting, Ms. Yates told the Board of Supervisors that the shelters in Goleta and Lompoc are “outdated” and do not reflect the current culture in the animal

services industry. Moving forward, Ms. Yates said she could see the shelters being converted into multifunctional spaces where housing animals is just one of the facilities’ many functions. “We have the benefit of the lessons that are being learned over this past year of COVID and the changing landscape of the animal sheltering industry before we embarked on making big capital changes to our shelters,” Ms. Yates said. “We’re not alone in Santa Barbara County in hoping that the future of animal sheltering isn’t about building gigantic shelters that house hundreds of animals — that the lessons that we have learned during COVID allow for the possibility that shelters will be multifunctional and they’ll really be more community serviceoriented.” She continued, “(The shelters) will be about, you know, providing the services (and creating) meeting space education spaces. Animal housing will certainly be a component of that, but not to the large degree that they did previously. And that’s our sincere hope.” email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

should consult with their doctors to maximize the vaccine’s effectiveness. He continues to recommend that patients get vaccinated for COVID-19, despite concerns about side effects and the possibility of reduced immunity in certain patients. “I am telling my patients to please encourage their friends, neighbors and acquaintances to get vaccinated as soon as possible to help end the pandemic,” he said. Dr. Fisk had a similar suggestion, saying high-risk individuals can ask their acquaintances to get vaccinated or put on a mask prior to staying in a confined space with them. He didn’t speak confidently about the CDC’s less strict mask guidelines. He pointed out people who shed the virus even after being vaccinated and vaccinated individuals who have still contracted COVID-19. “It’s the exceptions, the people out on the edge of that bell curve, that make the pronouncement a little more broad reaching than I think was advisable,” he said. “Certainly, I can appreciate their sense that when people are vaccinated, they are on average wellprotected from this virus, which is great,” he said. Dr. Segal was less concerned, directing patients to the CDC’s guidance when deciding what precautions to take. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the president’s chief medical advisor, clarified in an Axios report Wednesday that the CDC’s new guidance was intended to express the importance of a vaccine — not saying to abandon masks. “I think people are misinterpreting, thinking that this is a removal of a mask mandate for everyone. It’s not,” Dr. Fauci told an Axios reporter. “It’s an assurance to those who are vaccinated that they can feel safe, be they outdoors or indoors.” One of Dr. Fisk’s concerns is that about half of the U.S. has not been vaccinated. His biggest worry, though, is the potential for more variants. “My biggest concern, as an infectious disease specialist, would be the arrival of a viral variant that doesn’t respond to the vaccine,” he said. But thankfully, Santa Barbara County Public Health and UCSB researchers are watching the presence of variants closely, he added at the end of the interview.

Brooks cherries The cherry season is ramping up, with freshly harvested fruit available from several California cherry growers at most of our weekly Santa Barbara certified farmers’ markets. The early season Brooks cherries are typically my favorite, yielding a crisp snappy texture and sweet flavor. The Brooks cherry is a hybrid of the Burlat and Rainier cherries. The yellow variety is available later in the season. Cherries are a good source of the antioxidant anthocyanin, as well as vitamins A and C, calcium and iron. Enjoy them as they come, mix them into your morning yogurt, or combine them with greens in a salad. This week I prepared a cherry-based barbecue sauce as the Fix of the Week, which is on the next page. Cherry price averages $6 per basket. COURTESY PHOTOS

New approach for ‘Pippin’ Dos Pueblos production goes in an innovative direction By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

Members of the cast of “Pippin” pose for a photo inside Dos Pueblos High School.

fter a year without theater, Dos Pueblos High School students are revving up for their curtain call, preparing for a production of the Broadway musical “Pippin” unlike any ever seen before. It’s been a theater season that required a lot of pivoting on the part of Theater Director Clark Sayre. Between Zoom practices and limitations on the size of the cast, preparing for a show during COVID-19 is unlike anything Mr. Sayre has done in his 40 years as a theater director and teacher. But with some brainstorming and a talented tech crew, Mr. Sayre and Tech Director Noel Greer developed a unique way of presenting the show that maintains COVID-19 protocols while still providing a live theater experience. At 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday,

the Dos Pueblos Theatre Company will present a drive-in style performance of “Pippin,” where audience members can tune into the radio and watch the production broadcast on the theater’s wall in the school’s student parking lot. The musical, which premiered on Broadway in 1972, follows the story of Pippin, the first son of Holy Roman Empire leader Charlemagne, as he searches to find the true meaning of his life. The show will feature both prefilmed and live scenes, creating a unique hybrid show that evenly blends live elements with film. In the school’s parking lot, the tech crew built a small stage, where a few students with solos will perform. Audience members will also see live scenes projected from an outdoor TV studio set up, where attendees will see the scenes performed live and projected on the wall. In the days leading up to the

Quiche Lorraine Here’s another great farmers’ market find from Roan Mills, which is converting farm-raised products into a wonderful prepared food item. This egg based “pie” is filled with onions, bacon and Gruyere cheese, making for a savory way to start the day. While it can be enjoyed chilled out of the refrigerator, I find it best when warmed up in the oven. It’s an easy item to serve the entire family. Quiche Lorraine is currently available at the weekly Saturday Santa Barbara and Sunday Camino Real Marketplace farmers’ markets. Price is $25 each.

Please see PIPPIN on B2

Goldbar squash Tender, flavorful goldbar summer squash can be found from several local farmers at all weekly Santa Barbara certified farmers’ markets. Similar to that of its green zucchini counterpart, it can be enjoyed both raw or cooked, but more commonly cooked. This week I used an abundance of this Goldenyellow skinned squash in a homemade lasagna. It is also commonly grilled at my house. Gold Bar squash is a decent source of vitamin C and B, and it’s a good source of fiber. It also has a higher carotenoid content than that of green varieties. Certified organic squash is available. Price averages $2.50 per pound.

This year’s performance of “Pippin” will combine both pre-filmed and live elements through a drive-in style production. In this pre-filmed sequence, the cast is performing the song “Morning Glow” from the show.

he Central Valley is raining cherries at the moment, with more than a dozen varieties expected on display at our local farmers’ markets throughout the season. The first of the cherry crop emerged a few weeks ago out of the Bakersfield area in Kern County, quickly followed by those out of neighboring counties such as Fresno and Tulare. Cherries are one of those seasonal items that seemingly come and go in the blink of an eye, so if you are at all a fan of fresh cherries harvested right out of the orchard, now is the time to take advantage of one of nature’s tastiest treats. This week, the Brooks cherries are probably the best and most readily available. Possessing all of the trademark characteristics of the ideal cherry, they are plump,

very crisp and quite sweet. This richly flavored variety yields a deep fed flesh, most comparable in flavor and texture to the infamous red Bing cherry. My kids have been devouring these sweet Brooks cherries right out of the bag purchased at our farmers markets. I always make sure to have a discard bowl close by for the stems and pits. I also prepared a cherry, peach and blueberry crisp this week that was quite a hit for dessert. You can use fresh cherries to make a homemade cherry preserve, or a topping for pancakes, waffles or ice cream. This week I prepared a cherry-based barbecue sauce, a nice addition to barbecued ribs, chicken and various pork preparations.

PIPPIN

Continued from Page B1 show’s opening, Mr. Sayre reflected on the process of creating this year’s show, recalling the weeks of practicing, recording and filming with his cohort of 13 student actors. “We wanted to do something that was cutting edge and out there,” Mr. Sayre told the News-Press. “I liked teaching the kids that in a pandemic or any situation, you’re going to have to think way outside of the box if you’re going to try and create something, because it doesn’t live anywhere within the box.” He added, “I think it’s just been one of the most fun shows I’ve ever done because of having to do it under these crazy circumstances. We’ve just had a lot of fun filming.” For sophomore Alison Togami, a member of the show’s tech crew, this year’s show is unlike any other show she’s been a part of during her years in theater. Alison said she got involved in theater in first grade, but developed an interest for the tech side when she was in seventh grade. During the show, Alison is in charge of controlling the live broadcasting system and overseeing the filming of the live

The tech crew will be hard at work during this year’s production, blending pre-filmed and live scenes to present a unique performance of “Pippin.”

elements of the production. She said the tech team will be busy during the show, as members are in charge of manning the live streamed broadcast for people watching at home, as well as manning the broadcast for people watching at the drive-in. Alison said she is hoping the message of the show will resonate with the audience. “I really just hope that (the audience) gets the overall message

of the show that life has been kind of rocky over the past two months and year, but life continues and we face challenges (and) overcome them,” Alison told the News-Press. “And also I hope that (the audience) takes in this one-of-akind of unique experience that this show is really providing. I think it’s going to look really different and feel really different.” email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

FYI Dos Pueblos High School students will perform “Pippin” at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Tickets start at $10. To purchase, go to dptheatrecompany. org. Audience members can view the show from the parking lot outside the school’s theater, or they can watch it at home on their computer or other devices. They can also choose to do both.

Diversions horoscope • puzzles

ARIES — You could write fiction or journalism well today. There’s a good possibility that you have given some thought to a literary line of work. Why do you hesitate? It’s never too late. Find the time to write a story. If you have a negative attitude about the things you do, how will you get anything done? TAURUS — Today is your day, Taurus! Do your best to make your mark on the people around you, especially those closest to your heart. You will outdo yourself, grabbing attention without even meaning to. You will be considered very attractive. Don’t be surprised if your calendar fills up. This is your reward for all your work over the past few weeks. GEMINI — You have an excellent day ahead, Gemini. It’s likely to open new horizons for you at a time when the future may have seemed bleak. If old issues related to your family resurfaced some time ago, they may be resolved in a surprising way today. In any case, this is an ideal opportunity to seek answers from your ancestors. CANCER — Several days ago you may have experienced a strong feeling of connection. People close to you opened their hearts and expressed their hopes for the future. Today you’re likely to feel new ambitions budding, Cancer, which may have been initiated by the earlier experience. The day’s aspects are bound to inspire you! LEO — There are some wonderful surprises in store for you, Leo. They could come in the form of a new career opportunity or potential dates. With the current planetary aspects, you can avail yourself of the best ways to find personal and professional fulfillment. Don’t hesitate to be original. That quality will trump everything else! VIRGO — You can look forward to a day full of satisfaction, Virgo. You may have made a strong impression on the people around you as you learned to moderate your outspokenness. Supportive friends surround you today. Everyone seems willing to listen, and they trust you Monday, November 16,though 2015 implicitly. It looks as you’re finding a place for

yourself! LIBRA — You’re definitely going to appreciate the harmony today, Libra. After the confrontational mood of the past several days, it looks as though you will be able to rest a bit. If you feel somewhat weary, it’s for good reason. Today provides a good opportunity to rid yourself of the burdens people are trying to make you carry. SCORPIO — The day will come when an authority applauds you for your work or research. Only then will you understand that you’ve let yourself be fooled by society. Much as you believe otherwise, society isn’t trying to stifle you or stop you from being you, Scorpio. It’s true that pioneers often aren’t recognized until they can show some results. SAGITTARIUS — You may feel that certain values in your profession won’t let you undertake certain activities. But are you sure about this, or have you tried to convince yourself of it so you won’t have to confront the part of you that yearns to explore? Perhaps you should try to be braver than you’ve been. It would be worth it. CAPRICORN — Here you go again, philosophizing about what personal expression, creation, and authenticity are all about. Have you noticed that you have some problems expressing issues that don’t fall within the norm, Capricorn? Your strong will and desire to be appreciated get in your way. It isn’t easy to express yourself authentically when you’re trying to make an impression on others. AQUARIUS — Think about tolerance, Aquarius, and notice to what extent it can liberate you. If you let others do and think what they like, you will find that you grant yourself this same right. This is the issue of the day for you. It’s when you don’t allow cultural norms to ruffle your feathers that you can liberate yourself. PISCES — Why not say yes a little more than usual, Pisces? You can be stubborn and want to do only what you want. It isn’t easy to lead you into the unknown. You like to prepare in advance. Today when people make unusual propositions, why not go agree? Go on - jump in without looking for a change. It will do wonders for your outlook.

Thought for Today

D M Q F J H S C G B X

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.

Macabre book club meets tonight “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil,” by John Berendt is the topic for discussion at a Zoom meeting of The Architecturally Macabre Book Club from 6:30 to 8 tonight. It is sponsored by the Architectural Foundation of Santa

Barbara with Selinda Tuttle, AFSB vice president, as the host. The motto of the book club, which meets the third Thursday of every month, is “Where architecture is always the main character.” “Personally, I prefer to read

books, fiction or nonfiction, that feature the city as a character,” said Ms. Tuttle. “The only thing cooler than reading a book that reckons with a city is being able to talk about that book with people who find it just as worthy of conversation.” The motto of the book club,

which meets the third Thursday of every month, is “Where architecture is always the main character.” To sign up to read along, visit www.afsb.org. — Marilyn McMahon

showed that slightly more than one in five households on the Central Coast do not have access to the internet at home, which Mr. Williams said is a “real challenge” and “one of the equity issues we’re looking at in terms of this post-pandemic economy.” Another notable statistic is derived from the survey responses from adults who were asked about job opportunities over the next three to five years, for both themselves and their children or the next generation. When answering for themselves, 20% of adults answered that job opportunities will get better; 42% said they will stay the same; and 25% said they will get worse. When answering for their children or the next generation, 21% of adults said job opportunities would improve; 21% said they’d stay the same; and 41% said the job market will only get worse. “Santa Barbara County residents get considerably more pessimistic — two-fifths think (the job market is) going to get worse generationally,” Mr. Williams said. “Particularly older residents feel this way.” Overall, he said the key challenges facing the Central Coast right now include the following: “Uneven impacts of the pandemic have catalyzed challenges to the working poor, while having little to no impact on wealthier residents and industries; high costs and low supply of housing and childcare continue to hinder ability to attract qualified workers and support a faster recovery; and a high proportion of Central Coast business, particularly small businesses, were impacted by social distancing requirements, and are still trying to reopen and/ or recover.” Mr. Williams’ potential solutions were to continue supporting entrepreneurs and business expansion, improve

opportunities for remote work and satellite offices, convert unused or surplus office space into residential space, and develop industry specific strategies. Bruce Katz, the author of “The New Localism,” a book addressing the world’s challenges in cities and metropolitan areas, and the director of the Nowak Metro Finance Lab at Drexel University, also advised local leaders on how to harness and leverage the funds coming from the federal government. “This last year has been difficult. It’s been unprecedented … Taxing the health care system, restrictions on economic and personal freedoms — there’s no wonder one of the findings in the report was that, despite the dawning of economic recovery, most households have a moderate to negative for the near future and more negative for the longterm,” said Bob Nelson, chair of the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors. “We know free money isn’t free, that (we’re passing) this debt onto the next generation,” Mr. Nelson said. Raymond MacDonald, the executive director of the Santa Barbara County Workforce Development Board, reassured viewers that the board will advocate for the local workforce system. “With the results from these studies and research, we hope to move forward under a set of guiding principles that will help us serve the business community as well as the numerous workers whose lives have been severely upended as a result of this virus,” he said. “We are very, very concerned about duplication of efforts and the inability of folks to actually get services, so that means things like resource mapping and making sure no area of our county is left out of getting the services that are needed.”
