he No. 1 source of revenue for the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians reopened Wednesday at noon after three long months of closure. The Chumash Casino Resort opened its doors with the intention to tread lightly, with plenty of precautions and a gradual move toward opening all the amenities. The following was implemented to ensure safety among all guests and employees: a noncontact thermometer in the lobby, more than 1,000 plastic shields separating slot machines, floor dots to enforce social distancing, a four-person limit on elevators, additional hand sanitizing units, a mask requirement for all common areas and mandatory Safe + Well training sessions for team members prior to reopening. “The biggest effort here is just to make sure everybody understands the new normal,” said Kenneth Kahn, the local Chumash tribal chairman since 2016. “We are opening very slowly — not all of the amenities are offered. They’re based on the health of our region as some of the like entities open

up.” Although the new normal will include wellness stickers for all healthy guests, plexiglass barriers and numerous hand-washing reminders, Chairman Kahn said he’s excited to welcome guests back and help lift spirits. “We’ve built quite a family throughout the years,” he said. “We opened our doors in 1994 and never imagined we’d be closing them again.” With the casino as the primary source of revenue, the closure amid the height of the COVID-19 pandemic created a huge financial challenge for the region. Not only did the resort itself provide for the community, but the tourism financially lifted mom and pop businesses right up along with it. “We’re excited to be able to provide for our people again,” Chairman Kahn said. “We’re proud of the positive economic impact that we have on the overall community.” Luckily, Chumash Casino underwent a $165 million expansion only four years ago. Ironically, this provides a lot of opportunities and overall space for social distancing. Chairman Kahn said the casino is “taking use of Please see casino on A2

Lt. Brian Olmstead of the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office talked about the experiences of local law enforcement, who responded to Los Angeles County’s request for help during protests in West Los Angeles, Santa Monica and Hollywood.

Protesters continue to storm the streets across the country in the wake of George Floyd’s death at the knee of the former Minneapolis Police Department officer Derek Chauvin. Most are peaceful, but some channel their angst into looting, graffiti and vandalism. On May 30, 53 Santa Barbara County law enforcement officers answered Los Angeles County’s request for mutual aid backup from nearby law enforcement agencies. The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office coordinated the response and assembled sheriff’s deputies and officers from the Santa Barbara Police Department, Santa Maria Police Department and Guadalupe Police Department. Lt. Brian Olmstead, a 30-year Sheriff’s Office veteran, said the group patrolled areas in West Los Angeles, Santa Monica and Hollywood through June 2. The Santa Barbara County contingent arrived in Los Angeles at 10 p.m. on May 30 and were immediately deployed to West Los Angeles. Lt. Olmsted said the Santa Barbara County officers usually stuck together in the field, providing support for local law enforcement agencies. “We for the most part stuck together within a couple blocks

The Santa Barbara County Grand Jury and Santa Barbara District Attorney Joyce Dudley received a letter alleging that the Santa Barbara Public Health Department was criminally negligent by failing to test individuals in nursing homes for COVID-19 fast enough in response to the state’s March 30 order, which required such facilities accept people suspected of having the virus. On Wednesday morning, Ms. Dudley told the News-Press that she was consulting with County Chief Investigator Patrick Clouse, Civil Prosecutor Chris Dalbey, and a district attorney from another county who she chose not to name regarding the letter. In particular, they were discussing which venue, be it law enforcement, the DA’s office, or Grand Jury, would be best suited to look into the letter’s allegations should they be found worthy of investigation. By Wednesday afternoon, Ms. Dudley told the News-Press that she had notified Mr. Caldwell that the Grand Jury is the right venue. “Given the nature of the allegations… his allegations were correctly sent to the Grand Jury.

Now it is up (to) them to proceed,” she said. Written by Coalition of Labor, Agriculture and Business Executive Director and congressional candidate Andy Caldwell, the letter accuses the Public Health Department of allowing a “cataclysmic failure to provide comprehensive testing in senior care facilities, demonstrably the greatest concentration of people-atrisk under the Public Health Department’s responsibility.” He elaborated that the department completing COVID19 testing by the end of June, as Public Health Department Director Dr. Von Do-Reynoso said would be the case during a June 8 press briefing, is three months after the State demanded these care facilities admit COVID-19 patients and far too long a wait for testing patients and staff. “In light of the fact that the State was put in lock down back in March it is unconscionable that it would have taken this department more than 3 months to prioritize the Governor’s order pertaining to testing, tracing and isolating these patients and staff members,” he said.

Gold bar zucchini This variety of summer squash is quite prolific this time of year, harvested fresh daily by dozens of local agricultural producers, available at all weekly certified farmers markets. With the same physique, flavor and texture as common zucchini, this variety is recognized by its vibrant yellow coloration across the skin and green stem. Excellent both raw and cooked. I most commonly grill mine, as in this week’s grilled gold-bar zucchini spears, Fix of the Week. Rich in vitamin C as well as a decent source of vitamins A and B-6, also dietary fiber, this is an easy item to increase the veggie intake with your meals. Certified organic available, price averages $2.50 per pound.

Organic German butterball potato These “new” potatoes, harvested fresh for market this time of year are an excellent seasonal favorite. With a yellow flesh, they are less dense texturally than most other varieties you will encounter. Excellent when both roasted or mashed, Roots Farm owner Jacob Grant says they’re a little too fluffy for a traditional potato salad but incredibly delicious. Currently available at the weekly Saturday Santa Barbara, Tuesday Santa Barbara and Wednesday Solvang market. Organic, price is $2.50 per pound.

s drug companies grind to quickly develop a vaccine for COVID19, UCSB professor Glenn Fredrickson has advised SiO2, a U.S. company, in developing new state-of-the-art patented materials coating for vials and syringes. The effort is crucial to the safe and swift distribution of a future COVID-19 vaccine, according to SiO2, an advanced materials science corporation. “The nation can produce all the vaccines we want, but we must have appropriate containers to store them and deliver them to patients safely,” Dr. Robert S. Langer, institute professor at MIT and advisor to SiO2, explained in a news release. “Many drug development and drug formulation innovations can be limited due to variables associated with traditional glass vials and syringes,” Dr. Langer said. “The SiO2 vials and syringes eliminate these variables and allow drug development partners to bring their innovations to life.” In addition to being on the faculty with the UCSB Chemical

Engineering Department, Dr. Fredrickson is one of the roughly eight expert advisors for SiO2. As an advisor, Dr. Fredicickson has worked with professionals from other major U.S. research institutions such as Harvard University, UC Berkeley, the University of Chicago and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on the SiO2 project. After years of research, their efforts in helping the company have been successful. According to SiO2’s press release this week, the company just received a government grant from the Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) of $143 million. The grant will be used to increase production of the company’s patented, “primary packaging platform for storing novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines and therapeutics.” Dr. Fredrickson told the NewsPress he believes the vials are “perfectly timed for certain COVID vaccines” and that the “grant from the government is really gonna help grow manufacturing capabilities when there is a vaccine.” “The SiO2 vials solve significant challenges in the commercialization of vaccines and biological drugs, which presently cannot be

solved by glass or plastic vials,” Dr. Fredrickson said. “Bringing this advanced coating to market will enable pharmaceutical manufacturers to safely and more rapidly deploy their critical products.” Although the project started well before the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Fredrickson said its development is crucial in helping deliver biological drugs similar to the ones being currently tested to help fight COVID-19. He also said another major reason these new vials are so important is because, “With old glass containers, the person often doesn’t get the full dosage of the vaccine.” Dr. Fredrickson said the reason for this is because small glass particles can break off inside the old glass containers, causing the drug solution to gravitate towards the glass particles and sink to the bottom of the container. According to the company’s press release, “SiO2’s patented materials science is a combination of a plastic container with a microscopic, thin, undetectable to the naked eye, pure glass coating for biological drugs and vaccines.” Dr. Fredrickson said the package Please see UCSB on A4

Fix of the Week farmers market Sam Edelman

I

t’s probably no surprise to know that I consume a lot of vegetables. Dinner plates in my house are typically proportioned at well over 50 percent with some form of salad and an array of veggies that have been either roasted, sautéed, grilled or in their raw form. Currently the local farmers markets are brimming with everything from fresh beans and snap peas, to artichokes, asparagus and beets, making it quite easy to have a diverse rotation of healthy veggies to consume throughout the week. Also coming into season right now that I consider to be “filler” vegetables because they are so easy to incorporate onto the plate in a vast number of ways and take very little effort to prepare are cucumbers and zucchini. Considered a vegetable but botanically speaking they are technically fruits, both are members of the gourd family but different species within. Cucumbers are almost always consumed raw, while zucchini is typically cooked. However, fresh zucchini this time of year is quite tasty in its raw state. When looking for a couple of quick simple ways to add veggies to my dinner plate, a cucumber salad with tomatoes, red onion and maybe a combination of fresh herbs all tossed in a rice vinegar, sesame oil and sweet chili sauce dressing always hits the spot for the first. Utilizing the zucchini, a quick drizzle of olive oil and seasoning before grilling at high heat makes for the other side. Combined, it’s about 5 minutes of total prep work and about the same in total cooking time.

He said that not only can this new technology prevent glass particles from flaking off and entering the drug solution, the new vials can also solve a number of other problems associated with older vials. Dr. Fredrickson said the new containers can withstand extreme temperature changes, prevent breakage and thermal stresses, and prevent silicone oil from getting into the drug solution. “You want a package that can handle a major temperature change

from room temperature to a really cold temperature,” he said. Dr. Fredrickson said he is fortunate that his job as a professor allows him to do important research like this to “develop practical expertise to bring back to the classroom.” As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, Lawrence Ganti, SiO2’s president of customer operations and chief business officer, stated in the press release: “We’re dramatically ramping up capacity to meet customer demands and to ensure that the surge seen due to the COVID-19 vaccine and therapeutic developments can be accommodated.” Email: bmackley@newspress.com

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS

“No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.� — Albert Einstein

ARIES — Getting in touch with your closest friends could bring about some intense communication, with many revealing some of your deepest concerns, Aries. Your thinking should be greatly influenced by feeling, so you might experience a high level of understanding that your friends are going to appreciate. This could well bring all of you closer together and increase future contact. Enjoy your day! TAURUS — A heightened level of intuition and understanding of others might catapult you to the center of attention at a gathering, Taurus. Knowledge combined with experience results in wisdom today. Insights could lead to more efficient ways of doing things. You’ll probably pass this on to others, especially since more than one person could ask you for insights into their particular situation. Don’t forget your sense of humor. Life is serious enough. GEMINI — Communication with friends who have traveled widely could have you hankering to make a future visit to a distant place that you’ve always wanted to experience. At the very least, you’ll probably want to take a virtual tour of your city of choice. If you’re dreaming of traveling to a foreign country, you may want to take a stab at learning the language. Actually, this is a good time to study a language - your mind is particularly sharp. CANCER — Dreams or visions could put you in touch with deep feelings that you may not have been aware of before, Cancer. This could enable you to release traumas from your past and give you a new sense of lightness. However, your logical mind is very much at work, so you could use this experience to shed light on others’ experiences and help them, too. Whatever happens today is likely to produce noticeable results. LEO — Relationships of all kinds are likely to be strengthened by an increased level of understanding today, Leo. Your thinking is greatly enhanced by your emotional intuitiveness, so you’ll be more able than usual to identify with the needs and desires of those around you. As a result, acquaintances could become friends, and friendships could progress into bonds that last for life. Romance also benefits from intensified empathy. Enjoy. VIRGO — Today your emotional intuition intensifies your mental abilities, Virgo. Friends and family members are likely to grow closer to you. You may be more aware of what they really need and want, and they could see you in a new light. This can make you feel loved and wanted. The downside is that your empathy is so high that you may pick up on +*#!2 +1$)"$everyone’s aches and pains. Try to keep yourself bathed in the white

light. LIBRA — Relationships with those closest to you, particularly friends and love partners, should be enhanced by an increased understanding of their emotional world, Libra. You’re likely to identify even more strongly than usual with others’ feelings, and this could provide inspiration for artistic activities of some kind. This is also a great day to have deep, philosophical conversations with your friends. Consider the wide range of topics you have to discuss. SCORPIO — Dealing with the ups and downs of other family members could be easier for you today than usual, Scorpio. You’re less inclined to be logical and more apt to identify with what other people feel. This will increase your understanding of their situation’s undercurrents, and they’ll likely appreciate your empathy. Don’t forget your own concerns. You may see a lot of things in a different light today. SAGITTARIUS — Today your mind is strongly influenced by feeling and intuition, Sagittarius, so you’ll be able to communicate especially well with others. You might sense what they need to hear before they know it themselves. This ability could be used in many ways. It could enhance your writing skills. If you’re into performance of any kind, it could sharpen your ability to speak, teach, or act. Make the most of it. CAPRICORN — You generally like to think of yourself as someone who faces life logically and rationally, Capricorn, but today your intuitive side could prove a valuable resource, especially when it comes to dealing with others. Your communicative ability is enhanced by a strong sense of what others are thinking and feeling. This opens the door to more effective communication with everyone - friends, lovers, colleagues, even strangers. AQUARIUS — Your intuition is usually very strong, Aquarius, and your level of empathy enhances your relationships. Today, however, a burst of logic could enable you to see many things in a different light. This adds a new dimension to your communicative abilities and could prove valuable in bringing you closer to the ones you love the most. It can also increase your understanding of yourself. PISCES — Your intuition is heightened almost to the point of telepathy today. Pisces, you may be able to sense what others want and need even before they know it themselves. You could also experience a few visionary impressions that prove valuable inspiration for creative and artistic work. When images well up from your psyche, don’t dismiss them as irrelevant. They could make a big difference in your life right now.

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.

Sansum Clinic announces relocation

Carbajal holds tele town hall on veteran issues By JORGE MERCADO NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

R

ep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, held a tele-town hall Tuesday to give veterans an update on current help being given, as well as providing them and their families a chance to ask questions. Mr. Carbajal was joined by key figures in veteran affairs, including Dr. Steven E. Braverman, the director of the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System. Mr. Carbajal began the event by stating the help he has been able to provide through his political seat. Under the CARES Act, which is a pandemic aid program and was passed on March 25, $20 billion in support was given to Veterans Affairs to help them find COVID19 related equipment. It has also helped the expansion of telehealth visits, according to Mr. Carbajal. The HEROES act, which passed the House of Representatives and is currently being delayed in the Senate, would provide a 25% increase in aid and attention for disabled veterans during the pandemic. Additionally, it ensures that there are no co-pays for COVID-19 preventive services at VA facilities and would provide grants for children of homeless veterans. It also suspends VA debt collection activities during the pandemic and extends deadlines to file claims and appeals amongst other things. “I hope it is able to move sooner rather than later (through the Senate),� Mr. Carbajal said of the HEROES act. “I don’t have to tell you that these are unprecedented times. With the recent turmoil and racial tension resulting from the tragic killing of George Floyd, to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. The House of Representatives recognize these challenges and I’m proud to be supporting or have already supported a number of legislative solutions to date.� With many places reopening across the state and country, Dr. Braverman said he hopes to reexpand a lot of programs that the

VA has had to decrease, including face-to-face visits. The most important thing, however, is health and Dr. Braverman said that they will continue to monitor the numbers to see if there is any rise of COVID-19 cases in the coming weeks. He also mentioned the important work the lab has done in making their own COVID-19 test. “Because of that we were able to do some initial screening surveillance testing, so that we could identify and stop an outbreak of COVID-19 disease in our nursing homes and then we used that capability to do the testing for veterans in community nursing homes, even though they weren’t part of our facilities,� Dr. Braverman said. Dr. Matt Goetz, an infectious disease expert, provided the extensive numbers of COVID19, including the total worldwide number, as well as how it is affecting Southern California. He brought up how California is averaging about 3,000 new cases per day, and how it is continuing to increase. “Some of that is certainly due to the fact that California has offered a lot of testing. The amount of testing has increased. But, whereas in New York City, the number of cases in spite their testing has gone down in California, our number of cases

has continued to increase,� Dr. Goetz said. He then added that Santa Barbara County and Los Angeles County are amongst two hot spots in California that are continuing to see increases. “We have reasons to be concerned in our communities. Within the VA, there have been over 16,000 cases of COVID-19 diagnosis and approximately 1,350 people have passed away,� Dr. Goetz said. “We know that many people are suffering so as we re-expand our services we need to keep our eye on the ball.� Dr. Neil Paige spoke about the expansion of in-person services, saying that each person wanting to enter the office will be screened beforehand. They will be asked if they are experiencing any symptoms, such as fever, cough, shortness of breath or diarrhea and will have their temperatures checked. People who test positive will be sent to a second screening area, most likely in a tent, and will be asked to not step inside the building. “We are also increasing our procedural specialty appointments, including dental, procedural dermatology, eye clinic, physical medicine, physical therapy, podiatry and endoscopy,� Dr. Paige said. The Santa Maria VA Clinic also announced that it is in the final process of bringing in Volunteer Coordination after nearly a year of the position being vacant. Other important information included: the time for VA reimbursing bills has been streamlined; emergency room procedures and visits are transitioning to prevent denials; and visiting VA.gov to look up the more than 200 urgent care providers. There is also a VA video connect app on smartphones to allow people to message with a primary care team. There is also a new program for people without smartphones that will give veterans iPads to then download the app and talk with primary care teams.

GOLETA — The Sansum Clinic Physical Therapy Department announced on Tuesday that it will be moving to a new location starting Monday.

Throughout the Sansum Clinic’s 22 patient care facilities in south Santa Barbara County, the clinic serves more than 130,000 patients annually. Sansum Clinic was founded

The department’s press release states, “The Sansum Clinic Physical Therapy Department works closely to improve patients’ function and quality of life. We treat those with injuries and those who are experiencing general orthopedic or neurological dysfunction.

Our physical therapists have specialized experience in postsurgical rehabilitation and treatment of work and sportsrelated general musculoskeletal, hand, knee and ankle injuries.

DMV to reopen local field offices SANTA BARBARA — The California Department of Motor Vehicles will reopen its remaining field offices today that were temporarily closed during the COVID-19 pandemic. During the reopening, employees at 169 field offices will assist customers with specific appointments at the specific office and limited transactions that require an in-person visit. Behind-the-wheel drive tests are not yet available and the DMV is recommending customers use its online services to complete transactions, including eligible driver license and vehicle registration renewals, according to a news release. Last month, the DMV reopened select locations, though none of the Santa Barbara County

offices. “I continue to encourage Californians to use our online services, the Virtual Field Office, DMV Now kiosks and business partners whenever possible,� DMV Director Steve Gordon said in a statement. “Nearly all DMV tasks can be accomplished without an office visit. To keep wait times down and to maintain public health guidelines, I ask you to only visit a DMV office when absolutely necessary and to come prepared.� The limited services that will be offered at the field offices include: paying registration for a vehicle impounded due to a registration issue; reinstating a suspended or revoked driver license; applying for a reducedfee or no-fee ID card; processing

commercial driver license transactions; applying for a disabled person parking placard; adding an ambulance certificate or firefighter endorsement to a license; verifying transit training documents to drive a transit bus; processing DMV Express customers for REAL ID transactions; and vehicle verifications. Offices will also offer vehicle inspections and basic control tests, as well as motorcycle driving tests. The commercial offices will begin contacting previously scheduled applicants to reschedule inspections and tests. For more information, visit www.dmv.ca.gov. — Mitchell White

Goleta library to offer appointment-only curbside pick up GOLETA — The Goleta Valley Library announced that they will provide sidewalk service starting June 16. The hours will be 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday. Library patrons can place holds on any item available at Goleta, Buellton and Solvang libraries online, and then make an appointment to pick them up out front at 500 N. Fairview Ave. Customers can now also return books in the book drops. Social distancing rules will be

enforced for all visitors, including masks and a six-foot separation on the sidewalk. Staff members will also don masks and gloves. The library announced that the Black Gold service will not be resuming yet, but patrons can log onto its website and place holds. An app will soon be available on the library website for scheduling pick-up appointments. In addition, the library will no longer be mailing Craft Kits. Rather, they will be available for pick up.

“After almost three months of being closed, and using that time to provide a number of unique virtual services, we are excited to focus our attention back to providing physical services,� said Library Director Allison Gray. “We know it has been difficult to not have access to our materials, and now community members will be able to borrow whatever they need from our three branches.� — Grayce McCormick

SBCC promotes Engebretsen, Willis to head coaching roles SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS

By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

S

anta Barbara City College has gone inhouse to fill the head coaching jobs for its men’s basketball, women’s golf, and track and field programs. Devin Engebretsen, a former Vaquero player and long-time assistant under Morris Hodges, is succeeding him as head basketball coach. He is also taking over the women’s golf position formerly held by Chuck Melendez. Don Willis, SBCC’s assistant head football coach, was tabbed to also lead the men’s and women’s programs for track and field. Director of athletics Rocco Constantino said he was fortunate to have experienced coaches at SBCC to step into those head jobs. “(Devin) has been extremely successful in the roles he has had at SBCC and elsewhere and it’s time we do a better job as a department rewarding people who have been loyal and successful,” he said. “Don is one of the best role models we have in our department and I am very excited that he’ll be able to impact so many of our students through football and track and field.” Morris, who retired after 30 years, coached Engebretsen for two seasons (1999-2001). Engebretsen returned to serve two stints as the top men’s assistant (2003-07 and 2016-2020) and was associate head coach for both the men’s and women’s teams the last two years. He and head coach Sandrine Krul guided the Vaquero women to a 15-9 record

last season which led to their first playoff berth since 2013. “I was impressed with the work he did recruiting with the men’s basketball team and also the boost he gave to the women’s basketball team when he began working with them in 2018,” Constantino said. “The academic side is a big part of this and Devin has a track record of being a great lecture instructor and mentor for students here.” Engebretsen earned two Master’s degrees: in Science and Physical Education from Azusa Pacific and in Arts in History from Cal State Northridge. He coached girls basketball and was the athletic director at San Jose’s Notre Dame High (200711), earning two league crowns and three playoff berths. He also coached women’s basketball at Sacramento City College (2011-14), earning a No. 13 Nor Cal rating his final season, before serving as athletic director at Westmark School in Los Angeles (2014-16).

He guided its boys basketball team to a pair of CIF-Southern Section playoff berths and a league title in 2015. He was also the defensive coordinator for the 2014 league championship football team, as well as the head coach for the boys and girls golf teams. Engebretsen said his priority will be to develop his players “as students, athletes and people.” Constantino said he played a big role in improving the grade-point average of the men’s basketball team to over 3.0 while also bringing in its largest recruiting class in many years. Engebretsen, an avid golfer, will also be replacing one of the most successful coaches in SBCC history. Melendez won four state championships and eight WSC titles as the women’s golf coach. “Devin has done some work with our golf teams and players in the past and is extremely knowledgeable and talented in the sport,” Constantino said.

Willis, a former NFL linemen, will continue his role as an assistant head football coach and defensive coordinator at SBCC. He won three CIF titles in the shot put and discus while competing for Cabrillo High School. His efforts also led to a pair of CIF team championships. Willis graduated from Cabrillo in 1991 and continued on to play football at the University of Washington. The Huskies won a national title with a 12-0 record during his freshman year. He also competed for Washington’s track and field team in both the shot put and discus. His eight-year career as an NFL lineman included stints in Seattle, New Orleans, Tampa Bay and Kansas City. Willis returned to Cabrillo High as head track coach, winning the Los Padres League title in 2011. He also coached track at Santa Maria High in 2012 before returning to Cabrillo as head football coach from 2014-16. “Coach Willis has great experience recruiting and relates very well to students and parents, which I think will help us rebuild the program,” Constantino said. “We need people like Coach Willis in our department. He’s somebody who is dependable and reliable and cares very deeply about our student-athletes. “I have seen the support he has given our students in good times and bad and he’s always positive and encouraging. He’s another coach that we absolutely have to keep on staff here as we move forward in this new reality after the COVID-19 shutdown.” email: mpatton@newspress.com

Continued from Page A1 including looting and rioting, local law enforcement in Los Angeles were developing a response strategy. “In the first day or so of an incident day and a half it’s pretty chaotic. They’re just trying to get as many law enforcement down, and they’re trying to wrap their heads around what the incident is,” Lt. Olmstead said. He said the Santa Barbara County officers spent their first night protecting businesses in West Los Angeles. “Not all the businesses had been looted in The Grove area, so we were put on fixed posts until that morning,” Lt. Olmstead said. “We saw a lot of damage, burnedout police cars, a lot of vandalism, a lot of businesses looted, anti-law enforcement and violent threats painted on the walls, windows, all over the place. We heard a lot of gunshots in the night, a lot of

fireworks, a lot of assaults taking place against law enforcement and by civilians against other civilians,” Lt. Olmstead said. He said he saw even more destruction and criminal activity than what made the news reports. Lt. Olmstead said he didn’t see any business owners set up to defend their businesses, but he heard reports of that activity in other parts of the city. Lt. Olmstead said his unit brought its own riot gear including helmets, shields, and armored vehicles and “less lethal” munitions such as tear gas and rubber bullets. He argued the equipment was necessary to protect both his fellow officers and peaceful protesters caught in the chaos. “We brought down the equipment that police use on a normal basis. We have a rescue vehicle that provides protection, and we have medics on board so if we did have a situation where we run across someone that was injured or law enforcement that was injured, we can pull them

into an armored vehicle for rescue purposes,” Lt. Olmstead said. He said the vehicle provides a tactical advantage against the mobs because it gives officers a vantage point and allows medics to begin treatment in the field from a safe location. Lt. Olmstead said on May 31, protesters threw glass bottles and other hard objects at his unit. He said that the projectiles usually bounced harmlessly off helmets and shields; however, without those tools they could have caused significant injuries. “If we saw someone throwing objects that could hit people in the head, glass bottles, that would be someone displaying assaultive behavior where we use some of our less lethal tools,” Lt. Olmstead said. He noted that while officers may use those tools against looters in certain cases, they are generally used to respond to or prevent assaults against law enforcement officers or other citizens. “Think of it like working normal patrol, and there is someone breaking into a business or house.

They’re gonna get contacted to be arrested, but do they comply? Do they stop and lay down or do they run away or square off and fight?” Lt. Olmstead said. “When you’re dealing with looters, you’re just trying to arrest them. You’re just trying to stop that looting activity.” Lt. Olmstead said the worst of the looting he saw was in Santa Monica, where crowds ravaged the downtown businesses. While some Santa Monica protesters greeted the officers with anti-cop epithets and graffiti, others voiced their appreciation and support. “A lot of people did thank us for being out there, waiving and stuff,” Lt. Olmstead said. “There were a lot of people out there just to protest on the issues going on right now. So there’s this balance of people, and then you have people angry at law enforcement and those who don’t care who they hurt, or the damage they do, and you have to separate the two.” email: pgonzalez@newspress.com

He added that by the time the Board of Supervisors presented the public with protocols to monitor and test populations in congregate care facilities during a May 5 meeting, such facilities in Santa Barbara already had a large number of known COVID-19 cases. According to a slide from the meeting’s presentation, there were 152 coronavirus cases when the plan was announced. In an interview with the NewsPress, Mr. Caldwell took aim at the health department’s handling of COVID-19 testing at nursing homes from a number of angles. These included the department spending a great deal of time conducting daily briefings rather than rolling out testing at congregate care facilities. He also criticized the department setting up testing sites in the North and South County before testing nursing home populations was even completed. “These people are vulnerable and should have been our highest priority,” he said.
