SB elementary schools reopen Students back on campuses; governor announces pact with legislators By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Elementary school campuses within the Santa Barbara Unified School District reopened Monday for transitional kindergarten through first-grade students — almost a year after closing their doors. The remaining elementary grades will join Thursday. Soon after students arrived on campus, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced an agreement he made with legislative leaders to give a total of $2 billion for districts that open transitional kindergarten through second grades by April 1. An additional $4.6 billion will fund efforts to mitigate learning loss. The state legislature will vote on the proposal Thursday. The scene at McKinley Elementary School was cheerful as teachers and students (who have been learning together via Zoom for more than 100 days) met in person. Outside, kids giggled as they spent recess jumping rope and drawing on the blacktop with chalk. Both ropes and chalk were provided by the school to every Please see schools on A7

Golden Globes undeterred by COVID-19; Chadwick Boseman honored By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

Sunday’s Golden Globes boasted a number of notable winners who, instead of receiving their awards on stage, gave their acceptance speeches over Zoom in true pandemic fashion. The awards, which included one for an actor with a Goleta connection, the late Chadwick Boseman, remained the talk of the town Monday in Santa Barbara. TV shows shined during the awards show after nearly a year of

movie theater closures. Streaming services dominated nominations this year, with Netflix leading the pack at 42 nominations, while Hulu, Disney+ and Amazon also received notable nods. Netflix movies and series garnered 10 Golden Globes at this year’s awards, with “The Crown” winning best drama series and “The Queen’s Gambit” taking home the award for best limited series.

Board of Supervisors to hear COVID-19 update By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors will hear a COVID-19 during its meeting this morning. Officials are expected to provide feedback and direction on the county’s response efforts during the meeting, which will stream live at 9 a.m. The county Public Health Department will provide the supervisors with an update on case totals, as well as an overview of the vaccine distribution and business progress following last summer’s release of the county’s Reopening in Safe Environment guide. The Public Health Department is prioritizing vaccination as “one of the most important tools to end the COVID-19 pandemic,” according to an agenda letter

sent to the Board of Supervisors. Public Health officials wrote that state officials believe there will be enough supplies to vaccinate every Californian in all 58 counties by this summer. For nearly a year now, Public Health officials have briefed the Board of Supervisors on issues related to the pandemic. In addition to a COVID-19 update, supervisors will also consider amending a county code to include a new realm of retail food operations known as Microenterprise Home Kitchen Operations. If the amendment is approved, a Microenterprise Home Kitchen Operation would be permitted to prepare a limited number of meals (no more than 30 per day or 60 per week) for direct sale to customers. Also today, supervisors are set to discuss a police appeal that requests extending the termination date of operations at Ellwood

sustained what appeared to be several gunshot wounds to the chest. The Santa Barbara County Fire Department and AMR arrived on the scene shortly afterward and took over care of the victim. Ms. Reyes was pronounced dead at approximately 11:33 p.m. A sheriff’s volunteer chaplain and a social services worker responded to provide support for the victim’s family members, who were on the scene. Sheriff’s detectives are continuing their investigation,

but do not believe there are any outstanding suspects. The detectives and crime scene technicians remained on scene for several hours to process evidence. While it appears that the victim died as a result of gunshot wounds, the official cause and manner of death will be determined through a coroner’s investigation. An autopsy has been scheduled for Wednesday, and the findings are expected to be finalized in approximately six weeks. — Dave Mason

UCSB’s Kay earns milestone coaching victory after a long timeout By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

UCSB’s Serela Kay had to wait a year to get her 99th water polo coaching victory last weekend. No. 100, however, took just a few hours more. The Gauchos, who had last season cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic, hit the road to sweep San Diego State in a Saturday doubleheader to get their seventh-year coach to the century mark with a career record of 100-73. “We were in high spirits just to be able to finally play a game for the first time in a year,” Kay said. UCSB, ranked No. 9 in the preseason national poll, defeated the No. 17 Aztecs in a pair of thrillers: 10-9 and 5-4. “We were two wins away from 100 last year, and we definitely had a good thing going,” Kay said. “It’s been exciting to add all the new faces and start back up this season. “It’s definitely a challenge with all the adversity we’re facing with the pandemic and this new normal. But I know the team will end up being stronger because of it.” Kay guided the Gauchos to a programrecord 22 wins in 2019 and then started the 2020 season with a historic victory over her alma mater, No. 2 UCLA. It was UCSB’s first win over the Bruins since 1995. She had been a four-year starter for the Bruins, graduating in 2000 with three NCAA championship rings. She’s coached the sport ever since, with assistant and associate head gigs at Princeton, Cal, then Princeton again, Maryland and Hawaii before UCSB made her a head coach in the summer of 2014. Kay has also coached with the U.S. Senior Women’s program. “It’s been a joy for me personally to be able to take what I have learned and the experiences I’ve had and bring that all to UCSB,” she said. “I envision this program to have a legacy in which the alumni graduate and come back to support and have a lot of pride in what they’ve helped build.” Last year’s Gauchos defeated seven ranked teams before edging Cal State Northridge in overtime to open Big West Conference play when the coronavirus halted all NCAA

competition. Several of the stars from that 12-8 team are now gone, including All-Americans Sarah Snyder, their leading scorer with 38 goals, and goalkeeper Kenzi Snyder. “We also lost Kate Coski, a San Marcos local (who was fourth in goals with 11),” Kay said. “Academically, it just fit better into their career plans to graduate and move on.” “Nothing replaces experience, that’s for sure. We have a predominantly freshman and sophomore team now — most of our team is new.” The lone senior is Mollie Simmons, who is one of the fastest swimmers in NCAA water polo. She won 49 of 52 sprints last season. “She’s got some wheels, and she’s really good at getting into the lanes and playing great crash defense and double-teaming,” Kay said. Sophomore Claire Kelly also returns as a top defender. Other key returning players are junior Caitlyn Snyder, Sarah’s younger sister, who led last year’s team in assists with 16, and junior Amanda Legaspi, who was UCSB’s second-leading scorer with 18 goals. Legaspi scored four of the Gauchos’ five goals in Saturday’s second game against San Diego State. Sophomore Courtney Heydorff sparked UCSB in the opener, scoring four of her teamhigh five goals in the second half. “Courtney had a breakout game, and Amanda really picked it up in the second game,” Kay said. “Versatility is our strength. With the little time we’ve had training together — it’s literally been only two weeks — it’s really fun to see the group playing with each other and reading each other. “I think the team chemistry will get even better with time. I think that’s our strength.” Two freshmen — Savannah Burns and Leigh Lyton — scored their first goals as Gauchos last weekend. Sophomores Sarah Owns and Drew Halvorson also found the net. Madison Button, a junior transfer from Riverside City College, also made a successful debut. “Those were her first two Division 1 collegiate games and I’m definitely proud of

her performance,” Kay said. “She has some big shoes to fill with Kenzi Snyder gone. “Kenzi is actually still in town, coaching at San Marcos. I’m excited she’s still around and in the coaching field.” The road gets tougher for the Gauchos when they travel to No. 8 Cal on Saturday. They also have a date at No. 1 USC on March 13 before opening a modified Big West Conference schedule which includes the likes of No. 5 UC Irvine and No. 7 Hawaii. “I’m excited for the future,” Kay said. “I know this team will go through some ups and downs, and that’s always a part of it. “Going up to Cal will be tough, but it’s important for this team that we just get out there and get after it and have a nothing-tolose mentality.” email: mpatton@newspress.com

High school sports season hits the ground running By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Local high school sports, paused since last March by the COVID-19 pandemic, got back on course last weekend with three dual meets in cross country. It was a new day for Santa Barbara High freshman Blaise Snow, who finished first in a dual meet at Dos Pueblos. He finished the three-mile course in 16:36 to lead the Dons to an 18-27 victory. Teammate Drew DeLozier finished second, followed by Dos Pueblos’ Luci Koroshec and Dylan Richardson. DP won the girls meet, 2232, behind the first-place finish of senior Ella Kenly in a time of 19:57. Santa Barbara High sophomore Daisy McToldridge took second place. In Saturday’s other Channel League meet, Cabrillo High’s boys defeated Santa Ynez 20-39 behind the 1-2-3 finish of Jacob Hinshaw (16:58.52), Tyler Johnson (17:13.49), and Kaden Jones (17:16.74). Santa Ynez took the next two spots with Joey Linane (17:48.61) and Carson Gann (18:27.67). Cabrillo also took the first two places in the girls meet. Kassandra Navarro won the race in 25:19.42 while Gabriella Nelson took second in 25:15.92. Santa Ynez took the next two places with Sofia Monsalud (26:04.92) and Victoria Bernard (26:27.67). Channel League competition will resume on Saturday, with Santa Barbara running against San Marcos on the DP course at 10 a.m. and Santa Ynez competing against Lompoc. Carpinteria hit the ground running after receiving “an 11thhour call” from the Ventura County Public Health Department that it was cleared to travel across county lines to compete in a Citrus

Coast League meet in Fillmore. The Warriors had already missed the league’s first meet in Ojai because of COVID-19 restrictions. The Citrus League’s other members — Fillmore, Santa Paula, Nordhoff and Hueneme — are all located in Ventura County. Carpinteria High athletic director texted cross country coach Angel Silva on Saturday morning immediately after receiving Ventura County approval to compete in the meet. Silva was assisting as a race monitor at the meet. “It was a great team effort once we got the go-ahead to participate in the meet,” Silva said. “Principal Gerardo Cornejo communicated with Fillmore Unified District administration, secured safe transportation and drove a van to the meet.” Cooney communicated with Fillmore meet director Kim Tofoya and arranged for the Warriors to run in the last scheduled race spot at 1:50 p.m. Each school’s team ran the meet separately. “Due to the short notice, we were only able to bring a handful of student-athletes to the meet,” Silva said. Kate Cooney led Carpinteria’s top girls, placing eighth in 26:10 over three miles. The Warriors’ Eduardo Vences finished 10th in the boys’ race with a time of 20:16 while Hugo Alvarado came in 15th in 21:29. “It was just great to see all the student-athletes competing and enjoying themselves after almost a full year away from competition,” Silva said. The final Citrus Coast League meet will be held on Saturday at Hueneme High. email: mpatton@newspress.com

The UCSB baseball team, which has moved up to No. 7 in three national polls after sweeping Pepperdine in a four-game series, also swept the Big West Conference’s weekly awards on Monday. Junior infielder Marcos Castanon became the second Gaucho to win the Field Player of the Week Award, while Rodney Boone was honored as Pitcher of the Week. UCSB (6-1), which has won six consecutive games since losing its season opener to Santa Clara, moved up to No. 7 in the D1 Baseball, Collegiate Baseball, and USA Today coaches’ polls. Baseball America boosted the Gauchos from No. 19 to No. 15. Castanon, who’s batting .462 on the year, followed in the footsteps of shortstop McClain O’Connor, who won the previous Big West Field Player of the Week Award. He hit .438 on the weekend with two home runs, six runs scored, and nine RBI. He had three multi-hit games and has hit safely in all seven contests this year. The Big West’s weekly award was the first of Castanon’s career. Boone, a sophomore lefthander, won Pitcher of the Week honors for the second time in his career. He retired 11 of the first Pepperdine batters he faced on Saturday and pitched a no-hitter for all six of his innings. He struck out six and walked three in a game the Gauchos eventually won, 5-0. Boone leads the Big West with a record of 2-0 and an earned run average of 0.00. He has struck out 15 batters and allowed just two hits in 11 innings. Opponents are batting just .057 against him. UCSB returns to action at Caesar Uyesaka Stadium on Friday at 3 p.m. with the start of a four-game series against Oregon. Spectators are not allowed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

All have titles like “Above Butterfly,” “Above State Street,” “Above Santa Barbara,” “Above Hendrys,” “Above Summerland” and “Above Gaviota.” Others are “”Above the Sea,” “The Wild Blue Yonder,” “Along the Coast,” “Riding the Breeze,” “Gathering on the Wind” and “Gliding on the Blue.” Against a pale blue sky, flocks of birds soar in some of them. Others have stretches of beaches below. There’s a familiar lamp post in the corner of the State Street painting. Why clouds? “I get obsessed with something, and I don’t really know why. For a while, I did underwater creatures like whales, jellyfish and octopuses. Now it’s clouds and birds, mostly clouds. I like things that float,” said Mrs. Brady, who has been living and

The organic shapes and patterns of these forms are diverse, intriguing and beautiful to me. I am moved by their simplicity and their complexity.

John Wullbrandt’s art on display SANTA BARBARA — Santa Barbara Fine Art is presenting a collection of paintings by John Wullbrandt. The gallery is at 1321 State St. Born in Santa Barbara in 1951, the artist can trace his roots back to the Chumash and his earliest European ancestor Jose Medina, who arrived on a Spanish supply ship and became Santa Barbara’s second school teacher in 1797. John Wullbrandt was an artist known for

his spontaneity and sharp eye for detail in his landscapes, local landmarks, still life or paintings of his ranch life, where his ancestors homesteaded in 1913 inCarpinteria. He began painting at an early age and found local patrons while in his teens. Growing up near the beach in Carpinteria instilled a keen interest in painting his surroundings including the family cattle ranch high in the mountains above the Carpinteria Valley. After studying art history, drawing with Kenneth Nack and painting with Robert Frame at Santa Barbara City College, Mr. Wullbrandt set out on what became a 25year long art adventure that took him around the globe several times and included many

private and public commissions. Returning to Carpinteria in 2002, Mr. Wullbrandt and his partner began the restoration of the family ranch, where he now lives off grid. In 2017, his studio was incinerated in the Thomas Fire, and most records of his full-time artist’s life were lost. Remaining a prolific painter, the artist was invited into the prestigious Oak Group, and his influence on other pockets in our art community has been extensive. For more information, contact the gallery at 805-845-4270 or go to www. santabarbarafineart.com. — Dave Mason

Artist earned degree in her profession from UCSB ART

Continued from Page A4 the surfaces to achieve a manylayered finish. Her artwork, which ranges in price from $250 for small pieces that are 8 inches square to $4,000 for larger ones that are 42 by 60 inches, are available at Upstairs at Pierre Lafond in Montecito, the Sundance Catalog and www. lizbradyart.com. They are also sold at The Green House Studios in the Funk Zone, which Mrs. Brady shares with two other local artists, Erika Carter and Virginia McCracken. “I paint there and at my home,”

said the artist, who grew up in Palos Verdes, graduated from Palos Verdes High School and earned her bachelor’s degree in studio art at UCSB. After graduation from UCSB in 1988, she and her future husband, Jon Brady, took a backpack trip around the world for a year. “We started in Fiji and just kept going west,” Mrs. Brady told the News-Press. “We were on a budget but managed to see a lot of beautiful and amazing places.” When they returned to Santa Barbara, the couple married, and Mr. Brady became a music teacher, giving lessons in piano, accordion and ukulele, while his wife painted. “In 1993, we decided to move

to Paris for a year, so I could become more immersed in art,” said Mrs. Brady. Since 1995, Santa Barbara has been their home, where they have raised their son Owen, 25, and daughter Hazel, 21. Since 2008, Mrs. Brady’s art has been featured in solo exhibitions at the Porch Gallery and Vault Gallery, both in Carpinteria; and in Santa Barbara at Arigato Gallery, Caruso Woods Gallery and Gallery 3 East. Her work has also been part of numerous exhibitions at Sullivan Goss-An American Gallery, Michael Kate, The Arts Fund Gallery, Simpson House Inn, The Reynolds Gallery, Neuhauser Gallery,

Long Beach Museum of Art and University Center Gallery at UCSB. “This past year, my daughter and I decided to try making ceramics. We bought a kiln and turned the patio space in our backyard into a studio. It’s still more of a hobby, but some bowls and plates are being sold at Upstairs at Pierre Lafond,” said Mrs. Brady, who spends several hours a day in her studios. “It’s hard to describe why I enjoy painting so much. There’s something inside that makes me feel really happy and at peace, and when I’m finished, I have something to put on the walls.” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

Thought for Today

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.

‘I’ve had 27 years of first days, and never have I ever been prouder’ schools

Continued from Page A1 student, who was encouraged to be COVID-safe. Students washed their hands at a mobile hand-washing station before marching back into their classrooms. “Oh, I love seeing the kids,” McKinley Principal Elena GarciaYoshitomi told the News-Press Monday. “The kids just seem so happy to be here.” Last week, she joined classes via Zoom to ask students what they thought about returning to campus. The students danced around to show their excitement. “The most frequently stated comment that I heard was, ‘I’m so excited to learn with you.’ That’s what they were telling their teachers,” she said. Teachers prepared their classrooms last week. Facilities staff had already arranged desks for social distancing and taped guides on the ground. “There was a lot of excitement and nervousness because we just wanted to make everything right and welcoming; it’s that balance of safety and welcoming,” Ms. GarciaYoshitomi said. Ana Escobedo, assistant superintendent of elementary education, visited every elementary school Monday morning to see how principals were doing. “This is really what we worked so hard for. I think it really was that first day of school feeling; you can’t sleep, you’re restless,” she

told the News-Press. “I’ve had 27 years of first days, and never have I ever been prouder, never.” District officials have had to bend with changing policies and new health guidance since the district proposed reopening earlier in the school year. “It has been quite the roller coaster,” she said. “We’ve all been educators; we’ve all been principals. Nobody had ever been principals or educators in a pandemic. And we did that.” On Monday, education and childcare workers became eligible

to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, and 10% of the state’s allotment is dedicated to educators. Ms. Garcia-Yoshitomi described the vaccine eligibility as a “huge win for teachers.” The reopening proposal described by Gov. Newsom clarifies that teacher vaccinations are not required for reopening, though labor union agreements are a valid excuse for not opening doors. Surveillance testing of students was a large concern that local districts had with the

previous reopening bill. But the latest proposal removes the requirement to test students for COVID-19 if districts open or plan to open by the end of March. Surveillance testing is also not required in red-tier counties. When the county reaches the red tier, all elementary school grades must reopen, and districts should commit to open at least one middle or high school grade under the proposal. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

At no time shall the lease be in effect without a valid PSA, or unless terminated in 90 days with written notice by either party, which may be given with or without cause, at any time after the first year of the lease. The Lessee shall pay a monthly rental amount of $1,416.87 and in addition shall pay for all utilities, maintenance and repairs as described in the Agreement.

Notice of Intended Disposition Notice is here given in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 43 CFR 10.6 (c), of the intent to transfer custody of Native American human remains in the control of the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Interior Region 10 · California-Great Basin, Sacramento, California to the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians. On November 26, 2020, human remains were found at Lake Cachuma, Santa Barbara County, California, on lands owned by the United States Government and administered by Reclamation. The remains were located within an archaeological site and had been unearthed by a rodent. No items were found in direct association with the remains. After tribal consultation in the field, it was determined that the remains would be moved to a secluded portion of the site, to await disposition. A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by a Reclamation physical anthropologist who determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2 (d)(1), the remains represent a minimum of one unknown, young adult individual of probable Native American ancestry. Reclamation officials have determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR 10.6 (a), the geographical and historical evidence for the determination of custody demonstrates that the Chumash tribes are aboriginal to the land from which the human remains were discovered. As such, control of the human remains will be transferred to the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians, if no other Federally Recognized Indian Tribe(s) makes a claim for their ownership or control. Representatives of any other Federally-Recognized Indian Tribe that wish to claim ownership or control of the human remains should contact Reclamation Regional NAGPRA Coordinator Dr. Melanie Ryan by telephone: (916) 978-5526; email: emryan@usbr.gov; or mail: 2800 Cottage Way CGB-153, Sacramento, CA 95825 before April 2, 2021. Disposition of the Native American human remains to Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians will proceed if no additional claimants come forward before this date. Reclamation is responsible for notifying the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians that this notice has been published. MAR 2 / 2021 - 56803

Boseman awarded for best motion picture performance globes

Continued from Page A1 award of the night went to Mr. Boseman, who is best known for his role as King T’Challa in Marvel’s “Black Panther.” The actor, who died last summer from colon cancer, was honored with the Golden Globe for best motion picture performance in the drama category for his role as Levee Green in Netflix’s “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.” Mr. Boseman died just three months before the movie was released. During the Ebola epidemic in 2015, Mr. Boseman visited Direct Relief’s headquarters in Goleta to discuss response efforts with Madina Rahman, the deputy minister of health in Sierra Leone, and Direct Relief President Thomas Tighe. “He could not have been more gracious, empathetic, curious and supporting,” Mr. Tighe told the News-Press after the actor’s death last summer. On behalf of Mr. Boseman, his wife, Taylor Simone Ledward, delivered a tear-filled acceptance speech. “He would say something beautiful, something inspiring, something that would amplify that little voice inside of all of us that tells you, ‘You can,” Ms. Ledward said through tears. Ms. Ledward’s heartfelt words paid tribute to her husband, who was adored by millions around the world. This moment struck a chord with many viewers Sunday night, as the widow wiped tears from her eyes while expressing thanks. “I think what (Ms. Ledward) said was really powerful stuff, and it was emotional and extremely heartfelt,” Daniel Lahr, founder

Hannah Turner, a tourist from Chicago, told the News-Press that she was overall impressed by the Golden Globes on Sunday, but was disappointed to hear the news about a lack of diversity in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

of the Central Coast Film Society, told the News-Press Monday. “She was speaking on behalf of her husband, who was loved and adored by millions of people, and I think that love and gratitude was really coming through in a genuine sense.” Other notable award winners included Emma Corrin, who took home the award for best actress in a TV series for her portrayal of Princess Diana in “The Crown.” Ms. Corrin’s co-stars — Josh O’Connor, who plays Prince Charles, and Gillian Anderson of “X Files” fame, who plays Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher — also secured awards for best actor

and best supporting actress. Anya Taylor-Joy, 24, won her first Golden Globe for best actress in a limited TV series for her role in “The Queen’s Gambit.” The young actress was also up for another award for the best actress in a motion picture movie or comedy for her role in “Emma.” “I thought (Anya) absolutely killed it,” Hannah Drobits, a Los Angeles acting student visiting Santa Barbara, told the NewsPress Monday on State Street. “As a young actor, seeing somebody who is the same age as me doing something like that is totally inspiring.” In the film categories,

“Nomadland” took home the Globe for best motion picture drama, while “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” won best motion picture in the comedy and musical division. Disney’s “Soul” was also recognized as the best animated motion picture. During the night, award recipients along with this year’s hosts, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, highlighted the recent news that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association did not have any black voters. The two hosts, reporting from opposite coasts, discussed the controversy in the show’s opening monologue. “Everyone is upset with the HFPA and their choices,” Ms. Poehler said. “Look, a lot of flashy garbage got nominated, but that happens. That is their thing. But a number of black actors and blackled projects were overlooked.” Viewers of the awards show also expressed discontentment with the HFPA’s lack of diversity. “I do have to say, it was disappointing to know that everyone from the Hollywood Foreign Press was white,” Hannah Turner, a tourist from Chicago, told the News-Press Monday on State Street. “That is really disappointing to me.” Despite the lack of representation within the HFPA, Mr. Lahr of the Film Society said he believed that this year’s awards winners represented diverse backgrounds. “The Hollywood Foreign Press was being called out for a lack of diversity, but I don’t think that was present in the recipients of the awards because there were a lot of backgrounds represented.” email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

Medical Center in Santa Maria, said in an email Monday to the News-Press. Johnson & Johnson reported the vaccine as 66% effective in preventing moderate and severe cases of COVID-19 in a global Phase 3 trial and 85% effective against severe cases. “As with any vaccine, Dignity Health will not administer unless the FDA has determined it is safe and effective. Our clinical leaders have reviewed clinical trial data and evidence for the vaccines and concur with the FDA authorization,” the spokesperson said. The county’s distribution of vaccines expanded Monday to include essential workers in the following industries: food and agriculture, emergency services, and education and childcare. “The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department is working with the Santa Barbara County Education Office and private schools to prioritize educators and staff. This week we are partnering with Lompoc Valley Medical Center to vaccinate educators working with medically fragile students,” a spokesperson with Public

Health said in an email to the News-Press. A total of 1,100 appointments will be offered to TK-12 educators this week. School districts will contact employees with information to register to receive the vaccine. Priority starts with educators serving students who require support that does not allow physical distancing, may not be able to wear a mask and are medically fragile. Then schools and districts will offer appointments to those with significant contact to others and those who mix across groups or locations. Public Health is working with the Santa Barbara County agricultural commissioner, community organizers and growers to target the agriculture industry and offer appointments in coming weeks. Although vaccine eligibility is expanding, providers continue to have waitlists for the vaccine. At 11 a.m. Monday, the NewsPress did not find appointment slots available at Santa Barbara County pharmacies. Those unable to secure an appointment should frequently check online for openings or call the Santa Barbara County helpline at 211.

DeALBA, Gregorio Lorenzo

Gregorio Lorenzo DeAlba, 66, passed away peacefully at the Serenity House on February 5, 2021. He was the beloved son of Otilio and Carmen DeAlba. He is survived by his sisters Beckie and Tish, four children Jill, John, Jennifer, Jackie, and grandchildren Ernesto, Isaiah, Junior, Nevaeh, Lenaiya, Makaio, Jessica, Melissa, and Isabel, as well as many other close friends and family members who will miss him dearly. Born August 10, 1954 in Santa Barbara, Greg was unarguably a unique individual who was an incredible athlete, both at Dos Pueblos and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. He lived an exciting young life and later became a dedicated family man. His main focus in life became providing for his family and spoiling his grandchildren. He loved telling stories of his football days to those close to him. Greg was tough as nails, unforgettable to anyone he met, freely helped those in need, and passed on his love for God to everyone he could. Greg has been cremated and his ashes will be kept with his family. A memorial service will be held on ZOOM at 1:00 on March 6, 2021. All are welcome; please contact the family for further information.
