SB beach now sees fewer thefts Police credit addition of parking cameras at Arroyo Burro Beach By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

After the Santa Barbara County Parks Department installed security cameras in the parking lot at Arroyo Burro Beach, the Santa Barbara Police Department received fewer calls for service, Lt. Joshua Morton told the NewsPress. “When people see cameras up, it tends to deter activity,” he said Monday. “As soon as the cameras were installed, we saw a drop in criminal activity.” Arroyo Burro, located at 2981 Cliff Drive in Santa Barbara and often called “Hendry’s Beach,” was the site of numerous car break-ins and credit-card thefts before the addition of the cameras. Taking a quick look at 2020’s reports at the location, Lt. Morton saw 25 cases of theft. So far, there have been five reports in 2021, most of which occurred prior to camera installation. In February, Santa Barbara police noticed a high number of burglary calls at Hendry’s and Please see cameras on A8

Cottage Health reached a milestone of 50,000 vaccines administered last Thursday. This represents about 30 percent of vaccine doses administered countywide.

DAVE MASON / NEWS-PRESS

Dr. Henning Ansorg, the Santa Barbara County public health officer, is urging residents to stay vigilant to prevent a fourth wave of COVID-19 cases in the county.

All Santa Barbara County residents 16 and older can now get a COVID-19 vaccine. The County Public Health Department announced late Monday that all residents in that age group are eligible for vaccine appointments at clinics in Santa Barbara and Santa Maria. Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines will be distributed at the Hilton Beachfront Resort in Santa Barbara to residents 18 and older today and Thursday. Community members 16 and older can receive the Pfizer vaccine at Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria all week long. By April 15, all participating pharmacies, hospitals and health care providers will open appointments to everyone 16 and older. “We have reached a critical moment in our vaccination efforts where all groups able to receive the vaccine are now eligible at County

Public Health Community Vaccination Clinics,” Dr. Van Do-Reynoso, the county’s director of public health, said in a statement. “Now is the time to encourage your family members, neighbors, co-workers to do their part and receive the vaccine as soon as they can.” This announcement comes just days after Cottage Health reached a milestone of 50,000 vaccine doses administered, inching closer to a victory in the fight to end the COVID-19 pandemic on the Central Coast. Since its first vaccine clinic in January, Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital has quadrupled its daily vaccine distributions, now inoculating about 2,000 people per day. Cottage Urgent Care locations in Goleta and Buellton have also joined the effort, administering 3,450 vaccines thus far, according to a news release. Cottage’s distribution efforts account for roughly 30% of all vaccines distributed in the county. As of Friday, the county’s Public Health Department has distributed more than 160,000 Please see vaccines on A2

City requests input for SB police chief search By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The city of Santa Barbara is seeking community members’ input as it searches for its next police chief, who will be appointed by City Administrator Paul Casey. Ralph Andersen & Associates, a third-party firm hired by the city, is conducting a confidential survey as it kicks off the recruitment process. Currently, Bernard Melekian is serving as the interim police chief but does not intend to apply for the permanent position. “I took this position to be of service to the city and the police department,” he told the News-Press Monday. “When they hire a new police chief, I will fade quietly into the sunset.” Chief Melekian has assisted numerous personnel searches throughout his career and said a community survey is “not uncommon.” “I think there’s no question that the selection of the new police chief is one of the most important decisions the city manager will make,” he said. The community’s responses will help Ralph

Andersen & Associates look for candidates. “It really helps the search firm define the parameters,” Chief Melekian said. “They have to create not just a job description but a broader description of what the community is looking for.” He said the community description will weed out bad candidates. The survey asks citizens to describe what they hope to be the next chief’s top priorities and identify the biggest challenges the chief will face. It also asks for qualities residents would like to see in the new chief and what opportunities people would like the new hire to take on. And the survey asks for general feedback about the police department as a whole. Although it’s a short survey, Chief Melekian anticipates that it is “the first step in what will be a long process.” He predicted that more community perspectives will be gathered in meetings. He’s not sure how long the process will take, but he’s “hopeful it will be about six months.” email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department confirmed 21 new COVID-19 cases Monday. It also released Sunday’s statistics of 40 new cases, which were delayed for the Easter holiday. The current daily case counts are similar to those reported in October. No deaths were recorded either day. The county has a total of 33,358 COVID-19 cases, and 196 cases are still infectious.

Santa Maria detected the most COVID-19 cases Monday, with eight new cases. It has a total of 11,225 cases, of which 54 are active. Lompoc found five cases, increasing its total to 3,543 cases.

Suspects arrested for firing gun in air GOLETA — Two Goleta residents were arrested on multiple charges after firing a gun into the air Friday afternoon. Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s deputies discovered the handgun was stolen. Around 2:24 p.m. Friday, deputies responded to a residence off San Milano Drive to investigate a shot heard by a 911 caller. Law enforcement detained 20-year-old Jesus Coronado and 25-year-old Carter Chavez from the front yard of the residence. They didn’t have a gun in possession when deputies arrived. During the investigation, deputies learned the suspects fired a gun in the backyard. After obtaining a search warrant that evening, the Sheriff’s Office found a .22caliber handgun that had been stolen from the Mercer County Sheriff’s Office in Missouri. Mr. Coronado faces charges of negligent discharge of a firearm (felony), conspiracy (felony), possession of stolen property (felony) and possession of metal knuckles (felony). Mr. Chavez is charged with negligent

Felony suspect surrenders SANTA BARBARA — Victoria Zhou, a 21-year-old student, was arrested on suspicion of breaking into the Direct Relief building at 6100 Wallace Becknell Road on early Friday morning. Law enforcement presence led to a safe surrender. The Santa Barbara Police Department, assisted by Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s deputies and Santa Barbara Airport Police, responded to the call at 5:45 a.m. and discovered evidence of a break in, including broken glass. Law enforcement spoke to Ms. Zhou, who had barricaded herself inside. Eventually, she complied and was taken into custody. She is held at the Santa Barbara County Jail with commercial burglary and other related charges. Her bail is set at $50,000.

SANTA BARBARA — The Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s office is not filing criminal charges on the eight protesters arrested Feb. 25 near the San Marcos Preserve, District Attorney Joyce Dudley announced Monday. The protesters were arrested and cited for obstructing free movement on a public street. They blocked a contractor from entering the property, who then sought law enforcement’s help. The property owner, who employs the contractor, informed the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office and the district attorney’s office that he did not want charges filed. The input from the property owner and the contractor were considered at the time of the arrests and during the filing decision. The property owner has reached an agreement with the Foothills Forever campaign to delay construction until June 2, giving protesters time to raise $18 million to purchase the property.

vaccines. “We are very excited to have been able to administer that many vaccines to the community and to help our community start to fight this virus and pursue immunity and protection,” Dr. David Fisk, medical director of infection control and prevention at Cottage Health, told the News-Press Monday. “Ultimately, if we can get the levels high enough, it will not only help those who are vaccinated but those who are unable to get the vaccine for whatever reason.” The news from Cottage comes at a time when local officials are eyeing a fourth wave of COVID-19 cases that is surging in parts of the Midwest, East Coast and even in the Pacific Northwest. While California is not seeing evidence of a fourth wave yet, health officials are urging community members to remain vigilant. “There is definitely concern (about a fourth wave) because infections can surge if people let their guard down too soon … Everyone needs to still keep their guard up and avoid crowds and avoid travel,” Dr. Henning Ansort, the county’s public health officer,

told the News-Press Monday. Just a few weeks ago, cases in Santa Barbara County were trending downward week after week. But now, Dr. Ansorg said progress has stalled. Last week, the county’s case rate was 5.2 per 100,000, and in just a few days, the case rate rose to 6.9 per 100,000 as of Monday. “The ripple effect is daunting sometimes as far as how a virus this contagious can spread,” Dr. Ansorg said. “And that can change on a dime in a matter of days.” States such as Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey and New York are experiencing what officials believe is the fourth wave of COVID-19 cases due in part to new virus variants, such as the aggressive U.K. variant, spreading among unvaccinated folks. The U.K. variant is known to be more contagious and more infectious among younger individuals. California has the fifth highest number of cases tied to the U.K. variant at 873 cases statewide, according to CDC data. The nation’s top health officials are eyeing the spread of the South African and Brazilian strains of the virus, though the U.K. variant is far more widespread. County Public Health officials and researchers from the UCSB

virology lab are monitoring the presence of virus variants in Santa Barbara County. While data is still forthcoming, officials have detected the presence of the U.K. variant in the county in testing samples they have reviewed thus far. With the variants becoming more prevalent in the state and across the nation, Dr. Fisk said it is likely the county will see an uptick in cases in the coming weeks and months, but officials are still unsure of how high case totals will climb. “Our hope is that the spread and resurgence won’t be as high in January, but we really don’t know,” Dr. Fisk said. He raised concerns over the U.K. variant overtaking the prominent California variant, adding “this is essentially a really critical time for people to get vaccinated and encourage as many people to get vaccinated as soon as they possibly can to blunt that fourth wave.” Dr. Ansorg echoed this point, adding that he is hopeful the state could be spared from a big surge of cases due to its robust and widespread vaccine rollout. “It’s basically a race between how fast can these new virus types spread and how fast can we vaccinate as many people as possible.” email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

Santa Barbara International Film Festival offers drive-in films day and night

Ocean, movies and cars

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

ocal cinephiles are driving into free showings during the 2021 Santa Barbara International Film

Festival. Other movie buffs don neon vests as volunteers, waving cars into the drive-in theater. Two large LED screens on Santa Barbara City College’s campus serve as the venue. Movies play throughout the day, unperturbed by sunlight at the festival, which continues through Saturday. The sea air wafts through as moviegoers roll down windows during the beachside flicks. Occasionally, a jogger stops by and asks staff about the showings. With large Toyota ads and hydrogen-powered sedans on platforms, this obviously isn’t a typical drive-in. SBIFF experimented with the format this year, as an adaptation to the pandemic. Despite the change in plans, SBIFF loyals showed up for film after film. Larry Gleeson, who runs a film-review blog called Hollywood Glee, has been attending the film festival since 2013. He majored in film studies at City College and learned from Roger Durling, SBIFF’s executive director. SBIFF’s allure is what prompted him to move to Santa Barbara permanently. He was here as a member of the Army Reserve and decided to pursue film studies in Santa Barbara after seeing Penelope Cruz on the cover of local papers. On Thursday, he started his day early with a screening of “Poppie Nongena,” a true story about a mother during apartheid in South Africa, at 9:30 a.m. His was one of three cars in attendance. Four volunteers watched the film alongside those who drove up that morning. Janet Bojorquez, who manages the volunteer staff, first got involved with the film festival in 2007. It wasn’t too difficult to get a team of volunteers together for the drive-in this year, as many come back year after year. Daryl West has been volunteering for 10 years. “I’m passionate about film,” she told the News-Press. “I love the film festival, the great venue leaders in the staff, like Roger (Durling, the executive director) and Sean (Pratt, managing

director). They make it so welcoming to all of us. I mean, we just have to do this.” Alex Hawkins, a third-year volunteer, works security at local theaters. But with no concerts and shows performing, he’s glad SBIFF is giving him an opportunity to help out again. “Everything feels different (this year). I think it’s what a lot of people need,” he said. “Usually the film festival is crazy hectic. During this kind of climate, it’s nice that we can be by the ocean, breathing fresh air.” Ms. West is glad the festival didn’t opt for a purely virtual format, as so many festivals have, but instead has given viewers options to safely watch the movies. “My hat’s off to the film festival for bringing this; they made all

of this agreeable to everybody,” she said “The folks from the film festival made this possible for Santa Barbara.” The film festival recommends that volunteers serve at least five four-hour shifts. Cary Walker, a third-year UCSB student, decided to volunteer after enrolling in a Spanish cinema class. Although it’s new to her, she plans to be back next year — whatever the format may be. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Dealing with vaccine envy

o your friends who are frontline workers are getting their shots, as are the elderly and other essential workers, but when you see some younger people in line, it can make you wonder if they are jumping the cue or if they are legit. And that may bring up all kinds of uncomfortable and negative feelings known as “vaccine envy.” It’s understandable to feel this way, given the scarcity of vaccines and how scary this pandemic is. Wherever your place in line — and these days that largely depends on what county you live or work in — breaking the rules to get an early vaccine is just not cool. It’s better to wait your turn. Of course, some places have extra vaccines and have made some exceptions, and if you received your shot that way, good for you. But please don’t flaunt the fact, especially if you got your shot early, by posting on social media or by telling everyone you know. It can make others feel worse, and you don’t need to add any negativity to what’s going on in the world right now. Getting your jab, as they say in the U.K., is not a get-out-of-jail-free card either. You still have to follow

the protocols. That means double masking, socializing within your own household and hand washing. I follow Dr. Fauci, and until his daughter gets vaccinated, he isn’t seeing her in person. Getting your jab is not about being able to go out to a restaurant. It’s about saving lives. My wife isn’t vaccinated yet but I am, so our roles have reversed a little. But I still live life like I haven’t been jabbed, so I can best protect her. I’d love to push her ahead in the lineup, but neither of us would feel good about it. Playing the waiting game is hard. But it will be your turn soon, and in the meantime, you may have to just cope and chill. There will always be people who jump the line, and you’re a much better person if you can learn to walk it. If you feel yourself going down the rabbit hole of “I’ll never get one,” counter this thinking with positive self-talk reminding yourself that your day is coming. They just moved up all the dates by two months, and that’s 60 fewer days of anxiety! And it could happen again, so hang in there. It’s natural to feel frustrated and even worried if you haven’t been vaccinated yet. Knowing that you have a real reason to be upset,

and owning it, can help you deal with this year of fear we have been living in. Your feelings need to be honored, not justified, so find a way to express them. We are living in more anxiety than we ever have before. Releasing your feelings to a therapist or a good friend is positive for both your mental and your physical health. Also, just spending a few minutes each day actively appreciating that you are alive and well at this point can be helpful while waiting for the vaccine. If you’ve made it this far and don’t change your behaviors, you will most likely remain healthy. Letting go of the need to control something that is completely out of your control will definitely decrease your anxiety and depression and help you continue to take care of yourself.

Diversions horoscope • puzzles

ARIES — Don’t feel like you have to rationalize everything, Aries. Accept the fact that there are some things in life that occur without a specific logical explanation. More than likely these are the most interesting events and experiences that add the most spice to your routine existence. Embrace the unknown and encourage more spontaneity and playfulness in your world. TAURUS — In order to reach your destination, you may have to take an unusual route today, Taurus. Zigzag your way to the finish line. Don’t automatically assume that this is a bad thing. You may find that this is the preferred path. You’re likely to experience many side adventures and make some wonderful discoveries. Try to remember how you got there so you can find these spots again. GEMINI — Get out of the doldrums and enjoy life, Gemini. The situation is such that if you remain stagnant for a little while, you will soon sink into a spiral of depression and downward thinking. If you stay afloat and focused on your dreams, you will remain active in your pursuit of all your life’s goals. You will have the power of the Universe behind you, supporting you all the way. CANCER — This morning is your time to shine, Cancer. You should be in a good mood, with a positive outlook that helps you attack the day’s tasks with vitality. Elements of the unexpected may pop up and remind you that things don’t always go according to plan. This should be fine, however. You will find that your easygoing approach to life will come in handy when the scheduled route doesn’t work. LEO — You may get a bit frustrated in the morning because of a lack of commitment on the part of others, Leo. You may find it hard to pin down an answer when everything seems to be up in the air. The good news is that things should run much more smoothly by this evening and well into tonight. Note a major boost in emotional self-confidence now. After dark is definitely your time to shine. VIRGO — The energy you put out today will most definitely fuel the fire, Virgo, so make sure you have an extinguisher within reach. There’s a spark of excitement in the air indicating that something new and different is coming around the bend. You may feel anxiety November building up. 16, Be patient Monday, 2015 and you will find that good things

naturally come your way. LIBRA — You may feel indecisive today, Libra, especially in the morning. Other people’s actions may confuse you. Don’t worry. Concentrate on your projects and goals. Other people can take care of themselves. Don’t feel like you need to make sure everyone is attended to before you start your day. In fact, you may be the one who needs to be cared for by others. Ask for a shoulder to lean on if you need it. SCORPIO — Emotionally, you should be feeling quite good today, Scorpio. This is important since you may get thrown off balance by a strange, unexpected force. The more stable you are on the inside, the less disruption this foreign energy will cause. Keep in mind that unexpected things usually happen for a reason. There might be a key opportunity waiting for you now. SAGITTARIUS — Free your mind and consider alternative options, Sagittarius. This is a time to throw away the old to make room for the new. There’s a distinct advance in original and forward thinking today. You should make it a point to go to higher levels of thought now. The more idealistic in your approach to people and situations, the better off you will be. CAPRICORN — You might find your energy comes in strong, erratic bursts today, Capricorn. Don’t be surprised if you’re high as a kite one moment and down in the dumps the next. Even if you’re driving everyone crazy with your yo-yo behavior, don’t let this stop you from keeping on in this fashion. You’re probably able to keep very good track of the dozens of things going on around you. AQUARIUS — You may feel a tendency to do things the same old way today simply because it’s what feels most comfortable, Aquarius. Even though the familiar route may be tempting now, it’s actually better if you seek a different way to go. Things may feel chaotic, especially in the morning and early afternoon. Still, don’t automatically resist things that are new and different. PISCES — An extra log has been thrown on your fire today, Pisces, so don’t be surprised if you burn especially hot. Use your internal furnace to make some breakthroughs and bring matters to a higher level. Turn up the intensity on certain issues that require more life. You will bring a great deal of positive energy to just about everything you touch, so use it wisely.

CODEWORD PUZZLE

SUDOKU

Thought for Today

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.

Youth is served as Athletic Round Table resumes press luncheons By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

The local sports future looked bright in the sunshine of the outdoor patio at the Creekside Restaurant on Monday. A high school freshman and junior were honored as Athletes of the Week, and several teams touted their youth movements, as the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table reconvened its weekly press luncheon for the first time in a year. Dos Pueblos High freshman Georgia Wilson received the female award after pitching a fivehit complete game victory over Righetti. She allowed no earned runs while going 4-for-4 at the plate with a pair of doubles. “I love it when my athlete of the week is a freshman — that means I’ve got four more years of her,” coach Mike Gerken said. “She’s really dedicated to softball, as all pitchers have to be. “She’s just a joy to see at practice every day. She not only pitches but she can play just about any position on the field.” Another DP athlete, junior Kellan Montgomery, was chosen as the male athlete of week while showing his own versatility as a pitcher and power-hitting catcher. In a 2-0 win over rival San Marcos, Montgomery scored the winning run in the top of the seventh inning and then retired the Royals in order to earn the save. He also pitched five innings of a no-hitter against Santa Ynez while striking out seven. “He’s a team captain as a junior, and you can see why,” coach George Hedricks said. “He works his butt off every day behind the plate … and also pitches for us and plays outfield. He’s a great athlete, a great kid.” PREP FOOTBALL

San Marcos coach Jason Fowle is counting on seniors Rhys

Morgan and Jorge Medina to help lead a young team which has split its first two games of the condensed season. He asked Morgan to move to quarterback when the original starter decided to play baseball because of the overlapping seasons. “He just said, ‘Yeah, sure coach,’” Fowle said. “He stepped in there and he’s led these guys and has done a really, really good job. “He’s thrown for over 60% completions in the two games that we’ve played. He’s done a fine job with an even head in leading these guys, and with just a real gritty performance.” Medina, a three-year letterman on the line, returned an interception 65 yards before getting tackled short of the end zone in last week’s game against Lompoc. “The first thing I said is, ‘Hey, do you want to run it in?’” Fowle said. “I felt so bad, I wanted to give him the score. But we couldn’t put it together, right there, in 30 seconds with a timeout, so we’ll probably do that this week … put in a package for him at running back.” BASKETBALL

The high school basketball season starts tonight, with Santa Barbara traveling to Channel Islands. Coach Corey Adam introduced his inseparable captains, Dylan Borgeson and Erik Strandberg. “They started competing against each other in elementary school, started playing together in junior high, and have been together ever since,” he said. “If I call one of them, there’s a 95% chance that the other one is with him.” Both players are fierce on the court but exude tremendous “positivity as captains … They are consistently encouraging their teammates to be better,” Adam

An injury in 2019 and a pandemic in 2020 has reduced Natalie Depasquale’s collegiate softball career to just one game so far. But the Santa Barbara City College sophomore has considered herself to be anything but sidelined. The Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table honored Depasquale, a straight-A student the last two years, as the Vaqueros’ Scholar-Athlete of the Year. “COVID kind of got her, but what is special about that is that if she wants to transfer and play, she’ll have four years that she can play at a university,” SBCC coach Jasmine Perry said. “If she comes back next year, for whatever reason, we’re more than happy to have her … and super lucky for that.” Depasquale, who earned a grade-point average of 3.97 at San Ramon High School, has made SBCC’s President’s Honor Roll every semester. She also earned the Vaqueros’ starting centerfield position and leadoff spot in the batting order for the 2019 season. “She’s a captain on the field,” Perry said. “Any ball that’s hit is hers. “She’s in centerfield, but she’s diving for balls in left field, right field, behind her, in front of her. It’s really fun to watch her play.” Although she suffered an injury during the season opener of 2019, she worked diligently with her rehabilitation to get ready for this season. “I was really excited about this year because I saw the potential in not only Natalie, but our program,” said Perry, who succeeded Justine Bosio as this year’s head coach after serving as her assistant. “She probably would’ve been our leadoff batter. She is ridiculously fast.” Depasquale has played softball

She made San Ramon’s High varsity team as a freshman. “I also played soccer until my freshman year of high school when I decided that softball was going to be the best fit for my future goals in life,” she said. “I also did cross country for three years in high school. “My whole life has been centered around sports. I honestly would not trade it for anything in the world as I have made some of the best friends and have met and learned from the best coaches as well.” She won a cross country race during her freshman year at San Ramon and still likes to challenge her softball teammates to determine the team’s fastest player. “If she somehow loses a race, she’s like, ‘No, let’s do that again … Please see SBCC on A8

requested that the county parks department quickly install the cameras. Lt. Morton described the thieves as part of a “sophisticated ring.” He noted that people tend to hide their valuables in their trunk after they park, which makes them a target. The burglars could be watching. “People should not secure that property in the trunk of their car while they’re there. If you have to put them in your car, hide it before you go,” Lt. Morton said. Better yet, he recommended beachgoers take their valuables with them and leave anything unnecessary at home. “You don’t need your checkbook if you’re going to the beach,” he said. Lt. Morton noted that the thieves may take a card or two out of someone’s car but leave the wallet, so beachgoers may not

Sophia Ostovany, the captain and No. 1 player for Santa Barbara girls’ team, has been showing some amazing self-control, Echt pointed out. “What’s most rewarding is to see her take the mental control of herself in a match and do what she can do to put herself in a winning position,” he said. “She’s always been a fiery, competitive player and this season I’ve seen her mature and positive ways greatly benefit the team.” No team is counting more on its youth than San Marcos girls tennis. Sophomore Natasha Gill is the Royals’ lone returning starter. “She was second place last year in the Channel League Individuals as a freshman, and she is now helping our team get better,” Sapp said. His new freshman star is Cristina Wickline, who has earned the No. 2 singles position.

“She was undefeated in our opener,” Sapp said. “And against Santa Ynez, she was down 3-0 in the two sets she played and came back to win 6-4 both times. She has a lot of grit and great mental toughness.” GOLF

Jeff Ashton is coaching the San Marcos boys while wife Sarah is guiding the girls team. “We’re looking forward to mixing our bubbles, maybe a little contest between the boys and the girls,” Sarah said. She likes her chances with senior Caya Castelo. “She’s been playing for me for four years,” Sarah Ashton said. “She’s a consistent player and is also a great leader.” The San Marcos boys missed the luncheon to play rival Dos Pueblos at the Glen Annie Golf Course. They defeated their rival 431-475 behind the medalist play of freshman Shams Jahangir-Arshad (73). Sophomore Leo Metzger (74) and Jeffrey Forster (81) also helped them overcome the 80 carded by DP’s Michael

Gentry. “All three of those players are capable of going under par in any given day, and they’re a lot of fun to watch,” Sarah Preston said. The Santa Barbara High girls are the hottest team in town. The Dons have won 36 consecutive matches behind the one-two punch of seniors Melia Haller and Lizzie Goss. “Melia is a 4.9 GPA student, a competitive longboard surfer, a winner of the student film competition at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, and a Channel League champion in golf,” coach Ryan Throop said. “She averages about 270 off the tee, hits a nice little draw ... She was one-over par last Thursday and makes the game look a lot easier than it’s supposed to be. “Lizzie, like Melia, is a multi-sport athlete. She is All-Channel League in both soccer and golf. She hits a beautiful little draw, putts well, and probably can beat a lot of the guys on the golf course.” email: mpatton@newspress.com

I’m going to win,’ ” Perry pointed out. She was set to be one of this season’s team leaders when the pandemic shut down all of the college’s athletic competition for the year. “She has those captain-like abilities,” Perry said. “She’s one of those people that others are just drawn to. They want to do what Natalie is doing.” Depasquale said Perry has served as one of her inspirations. “A lot of people don’t know this, but coach Jasmine is a hardworking mother of two, she goes out of her way every day to make sure we get the extra help and support that we need,” she said. “Not only is she the best on the field, but off the field, as well. “She’s always there if I need someone to call on when I’m having a difficult time. It’s amazing to share a great relationship with a coach like coach Jas, and she’s definitely pushed me to the scholar-athlete that I am today.” Depasquale’s own dedication has carried over into the classroom. She serves as a volunteer in SBCC’s math lab and hopes to eventually pursue

September 16, 1928 - March 23, 2021

Arthur Wayne Nelson, beloved father and grandfather, was suddenly taken home to the presence of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on March 23, 2021. Arthur was born September 16, 1928 to Harry and Edith Nelson in Kingsburg, CA. The family later moved to Santa Maria, CA where he attended local schools and worked in his father’s auto shop as a mechanic. He graduated from Santa Maria High and Santa Maria Junior College earning an Associate of Arts Degree in Natural Science. Arthur came to Santa Barbara, CA to attend Westmont College and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Science in 1952. This is where he met his beloved wife, Martha Patterson Nelson, who passed away in 2007. Immediately after graduation, he was called to serve with the Armed Forces and entered the U.S. Army Vehicle Mechanics School at Fort Ord, CA where he graduated with honors. He served as a corporal with the U. S. Army, 28th Infantry Division, 110th Regiment until May1954, during the occupation of Germany. Upon his return, Arthur Wayne and Martha married in July of 1954. He then obtained his Master’s Degree in Social Welfare at UCLA in 1957. Their daughter Catherine was born in 1959. He began his career in 1957 with the Santa Barbara County Welfare Department (now known as the Department of Social Services), and also held part-time positions at UCSB and Westmont College for 30 years, teaching classes in social and child welfare. In addition, he served on numerous boards and committees, co-authored published articles and State Legislative recommendations, and was active in the community and his church. He also was the recipient of numerous awards and recognitions including a Letter of Appreciation from Governor Ronald Reagan in 1972, the Honorary Paul Harris Fellow Award from the Santa Barbara Rotary Club in 1997, a Lifetime Achievement Award from the NASW, CA Chapter, and a Certicate of Special Congressional Recognition in 2010. During his decades of dedication to his career and his community, he was highly regarded for his professionalism, and also known for being an approachable boss, advisor, and role model. Most of all, however, he was dedicated to his family, his faith, and his friends, and was appreciated for who he was quiet, kind, thoughtful, patient, abundantly generous; he was a man of deep convictions, good humor, and had a gift for conversation. He was an attentive and giving spouse, father, and grandfather showing his love through faithful commitment and thoughtful actions. He was also a skillful mechanic with hobbies from boyhood on, which included classic cars, boats, and listening to Big Band music. Whether driving a ski boat at the church junior high camps, or giving rides to friends in his classic cars for fun or fundraisers, he was in his element. In recent years, he particularly enjoyed teaching his grandson Cory how to rebuild the engine of the family’s 1965 Chevrolet Malibu Super Sport 327, a car Cory then drove during his high school years. Retirement highlights included rst trips to Hawaii and, with cousin Grace, a cruise to Alaska, and a special return trip to Yosemite Valley to share his childhood memories with his daughter and grandson. Other events included attending Cory’s college graduation at Long Beach State in 2017, and a memorable trip to Washington D.C. in September 2019 made possible by Honor Flight Central Coast, with Cory serving as his “Guardian.” He cherished the opportunity to welcome Cory home at the SB Airport last year with a salute, after Cory graduated Army Basic Training at Fort Sill, OK with honors, and AIT graduation at Fort Jackson, SC, awarded Soldier of the Cycle. Even into his 90s, Arthur enjoyed walking Shoreline Park, riding his bike at the beach, attending musical concerts at Westmont College, gathering weekly for Sunday church services, dining with family, friends, and former colleagues, and line dancing at The Samarkand. He lived life fully and humbly, and was a great example to so many. He is survived by his daughter Catherine Nelson, LCSW, and his grandson, SPC Cory J. Nelson, Religious Affairs Specialist, U.S. Army Reserve, each of whom has followed in his footsteps--Catherine with a career in social work having completed the same graduate degree at UCLA as her father received in 1957, and Cory with service overseas. He is also survived by his cousins, Grace Kyle of Orcutt, CA and her family, and Edna Mae Goble of Sacramento, CA and her family, and by Martha’s cousins in the Grimm and Greatbanks families. He will be deeply missed as a beloved father, grandfather, cousin, and friend. A special thank you to the Samarkand Community, Montecito Covenant Church, the Westmont College Community, the County DSS Community, Honor Flight-Central Coast, Dr. Kari Mathison, Dr. Zisman, Dr. Goyal, Dr. Lam, Dr. Lash, SBCH staff, and to our family and friends for their support. A private service with limited seating will be held Saturday April 10, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. at Montecito Covenant Church, and livestreamed on the MCC YouTube channel. A Celebration of Life and the Military Funeral Honors Ceremony will be arranged for next year at this time, and we welcome all to attend. In lieu of owers, a memorial contribution may be made to: Montecito Covenant Church, Westmont College, Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, or to Honor Flight-Central Coast.

a nursing education at either UCLA or New York University. “I hope to become a pediatric oncology nurse where I can constantly surround myself with children and help them in whatever way possible,” she said. Depasquale, the daughter of John and Heather Depasquale, said SBCC has provided her with a great transition to a four-year university. She said it begins with the coaches and athletic director Rocco Constantino, and continues with the college’s faculty. “I’m so grateful to have such an amazing leader in our athletic department who shares an amazing love for softball like I do,” she said. “And the amount of resources that are offered to us is something I’ve never seen before and it definitely makes it easier to do well, and obviously to succeed in school. “Along with that, I’ve never taken so many amazing classes in my life, and all my professors there have made my experience worth it, even on the most trying days, especially online. “I do miss the beauty of our campus, but hopefully we’ll all be back there soon, and I would love to be able to meet with my amazing professors once again.”
