California could end its tiered reopening system June 15 and fully reopen — provided hospitalization rates remain low and vaccinations are widely distributed, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Tuesday.

The details are still vague, as California Department of Public Health says the state could resume “usual operations with common-sense risk reduction measures.”

The news corresponds with California counties, including Santa Barbara County, opening some vaccine sites to those 16 and older. The whole state will open eligibility April 15, as announced March 25.

Santa Barbara County Public Health vaccination sites are open to those 16 and older; though only the vaccine manufactured by Pfizer is approved for those 16 and 17 years of age.

Pharmacies and other thirdparty providers are only vaccinating those 50 and older, high-risk populations and groups of essential workers until April 15.

Public Health administered the Moderna vaccine to those at least 18 years of age Tuesday at the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort. Volunteers and members of the Medical Reserve Corps staffed the clinic.

Young faces filled the vaccination line Tuesday — less than 24 hours after becoming eligible.

Nancy Lapolla, the vaccination pod manager, was excited to see young community members.

She runs the vaccination site Tuesdays and previously worked as the director for Santa Barbara County’s emergency medical services agency.

“I think it’s awesome (that everyone’s able to get vaccinated).

I love it,” she said. “I love to be able to, you know, see more and more people get vaccinated.”

Board of Supervisors examines vaccine equity

By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

Ms. So waited about 15 minutes to see if she has a reaction in a designated waiting area.

Francesca Cicciarello, a Santa Barbara City College student from Italy, was surprised when the county opened doses to all adults.

She expected to have to wait until the summer.

“It’s great, especially because I’m Italian and over there they are having problems getting the vaccine available for everybody,” she said. “I study here, so it’s just great that we can finally get vaccinated and get over these crazy times.”

With the added immunity from the vaccine, she’s looking forward to being able to travel home to see family.

Sebastian Buras was planning to get vaccinated April 15, but his roommate told him about the expanded eligibility Monday.

He immediately booked an appointment for the next day and noticed that spots filled up within 10 minutes of the announcement.

For Kira Lazzarini, who has been volunteering at the vaccine site once a week for the past five weeks, the rate of vaccination hasn’t changed.

She ushers approximately 1,400 people through the line each day, and appointments are continually filled.

Volunteers check in patients before entering the vaccine center.

The demand for vaccines was ongoing when Public Health opened eligibility, Ms. Lapolla said. She thinks officials opened up vaccination sites to conform to CDC recommendations.

“We want to try to be as responsive to (the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) as we can,” she said. “So we discussed it, and it’s an

opportunity to just get as many people vaccinated as we can.”

She also notes that more appointments are opening up.

With Santa Barbara County expanding vaccine eligibility, members of the County Board of Supervisors voiced concerns Tuesday about maintaining vaccine equity now that all residents over the age of 16 are eligible for inoculation.

During the Supervisors’ first meeting of the month Tuesday, officials heard an update from the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department on the status of vaccine distribution.

According to county data, 17.7% of all county residents have been fully vaccinated. But looking at a breakdown of vaccine totals across the county prompted concern among members of the board on Tuesday. According to the county, 21.2% of people in South County have been fully vaccinated, while 13.6% have been vaccinated in North County.

The Public Health Department has targeted its vaccine efforts within North County by providing weekly traveling clinics in both Lompoc and Santa Maria. Yet Board Chair Bob Nelson, the 4th District supervisor, said there appears to be a “growing gap between the North and South County.”

“There have been lots of conversations about people from

South County coming up to grab North County appointments …

I don’t blame anybody for trying to act on their own self-interest, I just think this is an example of how these two communities are different in the North versus the South,” Mr. Nelson during the meeting.

He added, “I’m really fearful that now that we’ve opened it to 16 and older, that gap is only going to get wider. I think you’re going to see more people from the south, who have been better (at getting appointments) this whole entire time, traveling up north to get at least their initial appointment.”

Mr. Nelson cited data that counted 47,000 people in South County as fully vaccinated and 20,000 people in North County as fully vaccinated.

Das Williams, 1st District supervisor, echoed concern over these statistics, saying there will likely be ramifications that come from this gap.

“The ramifications are that brown people living in the North County are being left behind because they’re not being vaccinated as quickly as my constituents that live in the south,” Mr. Williams said. “We need to think about that.”

The Santa Barbara Unified School District is more than doubling students’ on-campus instruction time by the end of the month, district officials told board members during its meeting Tuesday night.

Elementary school students will attend classes on campus five days a week starting Monday, and secondary schools will open four days a week April 19.

Board members had questions, though details were sparse. But the return to campus was not up for a vote.

“It is not a vote; we’re not asking for an action, we’re basically reporting to you,” Superintendent Hilda Maldonado said as she ended the COVID-19 discussion item.

“We will go to the five days in elementary starting April 12 and the four days with the Wednesday distance learning for secondary April 19, and that is really the conclusion for this report.”

District officials were confident in the decision to further reopen campuses given new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance allowing students to sit three feet apart and anticipate a five-day schedule next school year.

“Based on Gov. Newsom’s announcement … we’re likely to go to full-in person learning (next year) if we meet all the criteria,” Superintendent Maldonado said.

Earlier in the day, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced intentions to open the state, ending the tier system, June 15 should hospitalizations continue to decrease and residents have access to vaccines.

Board members expressed concern for the student cohort who are continuing to learn virtually.

“We will be bringing a more robust report to you in our next meeting, but I want to assure the parents on this call tonight, the public that we will maintain the rigor of distance learning,” Superintendent Maldonado said. “Because we know that education as we know it has changed, and that may become one of our permanent programs going forward, so I don’t want to lose sight of that.”

District officials continually promised more details in the next meeting, which is scheduled for April 27.

In the meantime, both inperson cohorts will merge and double the amount of students on campus. The students will keep their same teacher for the last weeks of the school year.

“I would love if, when you come back in April, if you can really show us visually how it works to have big sixth graders in class sizes of 32, socially distanced with three feet in between,” Board President Kate Ford said.

SANTA YNEZ — Kenneth Kahn was re-elected as tribal chairman of the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians, while all four members of the tribe’s business committee were also re-elected.

Mr. Khan became tribal chairman in a special election in 2016 and is currently serving his third term as chairman. Under his leadership, the tribe completed its casino expansion project, Camp 4 was placed into federal trust and progress continues on the tribe’s Santa Ynez Chumash Museum and Cultural Center project. Also re-elected were Mike Lopez, Maxine Littlejohn, Gary Pace and Raul Armenta, according to a news release.

Mr. Lopez served for almost a decade as the gaming commission chairman. He was re-elected to serve his fourth consecutive term on the tribe’s leadership team, and his first term as vice chairman.

He also serves as a representative for the tribe’s education committee, is a board member for the United Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Barbara County, as well as vice chairman for the California Nations

Indian Gaming Association’s executive board.

Ms. Littlejohn was first elected to the business committee in 2000 and became secretary-treasurer in 2003. She temporarily left the committee to serve on the gaming commission from 2005 to 2009. She returned to the business committee in 2015 and is in her fourth consecutive term on the board.

Mr. Pace was first elected in 2004 and has been re-elected to the business committee in nine consecutive elections. He worked on the tribe’s behalf for the purchase of Camp 4 and the acquisition of Hotel Corque and Hadsten House.

Mr. Armenta first joined the board in 2016 following a special election. He served almost two decades on the Santa Ynez Gaming Commission where he was responsible for providing regulatory oversight of the Chumash Casino Resort.

The tribe’s chairman and business committee members each serve two-year terms and are responsible for establishing policies and overseeing the legal and business affairs of the tribe while providing for the economic well-being of its members.

SANTA BARBARA — Two people have been arrested in connection with a fire that occurred Saturday morning in the 300 block of Bath Street in Santa Barbara, police said.

The fire was reported around 1 a.m.

Saturday. It spread to an outbuilding or shed on the property at 315 Bath St., and two subjects were observed walking away from the area. Both subjects, Juan Carlos Deharo, 48, and Andrew Elliot, 35, were detained, according to the Santa Barbara Police Department.

Mr. Dehora fled and resisted arrest, according to authorities.

SANTA BARBARA — The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department announced Tuesday that it is reopening a 45-year-old homicide case.

Paul Ornelas, who was 16 at the time of his death on June 21, 1975, was found deceased near the railroad tracks at the Turnpike Road overpass in the unincorporated area of Santa Barbara. The investigation was quickly deemed a homicide and detectives conducted a lengthy investigation that spanned several years, Raquel Zick, sheriff’s spokeswoman, said in a news release.

No suspects were arrested in connection with the incident.

The victim is described as a Santa Barbara resident with a loving family and deep local ties. The unsolved murder “has left his family with lingering grief,” Ms. Zick said.

Thanks to advancements in DNA technology and forensics processing methods, the cold case investigation is being reopened and assigned to detectives within the Criminal Investigations Division.

The Sheriff’s Office recently introduced a new investigative tool that has proven effective in a number of critical investigations. The ANDE Rapid DNA instrument was used during the Conception boat tragedy in 2019 to allow detectives to quickly identify the victims. The instrument has also been used to process minute levels of biological evidence left behind by suspects at crime scenes.

“This technology was not available at the time of the Ornelas homicide in 1975, but thanks to the preservation of evidence, and new comprehensive DNA procedures, the ANDE instrument offers a new, reliable, and effective tool for investigators to revisit the

possession of alcohol and five citations were issued for open containers. One citation was issued for drinking in public, one for noise ordinance and another for drinking in a park, said Raquel Zick, sheriff’s spokeswoman.

The Sheriff’s Office announced that two DUI arrests were made, one arrest was made for fighting in public, one for possession of a controlled substance, one for possession of nitrous oxide and one for possessing a loaded firearm on campus.

The 2021 crime statistics were well below the 94 citations and 38 arrests made in connection with the 2019 event. The event was canceled last year due to the pandemic.

Around 1:15 a.m. Saturday, Sheriff’s deputies assisted UCSB Police assigned to the Isla Vista Foot Patrol station on a traffic stop in the area of El Colegio and Ocean roads. The stop was conducted for an alleged improper lane change. The driver, Angel CarachureMunoz, 20, of Santa Barbara, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and possession of a weapon. He was booked at the Main Jail and has since been released, Ms. Zick said.

The passenger, 32-year-old Ismael Torres, of Lompoc, was found to have a firearm concealed in his waistband and was arrested on suspicion of being a felon carrying a loaded and concealed firearm, being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition and altering a firearm marking. He was booked at the Main Jail and has since been released on bail.

TRAFFIC, CRIME AND FIRE BLOTTER case,” Ms. Zick said.

The homicide investigation is currently assigned to the Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit within the Criminal Investigations Bureau.

“This highly trained and specialized unit is responsible for conducting complex and often lengthy investigations into unsolved homicides similar to the Ornelas case,” Ms. Zick said. “It is with our hope that continued advancement in DNA technology will further assist in solving these historical cases and generate new leads to bring closure to the families affected by these tragic and senseless crimes.”

Los Alamos project faces resistance from community members

By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

The city of Goleta recently finished a crosswalk improvement project that installed systems at two intersections that alert drivers when pedestrians are crossing. At Hollister Avenue and Chapel Street, above, the city installed a rectangular rapid flashing beacon that blinks a bright light when a pedestrian is crossing.

Goleta completes intersection improvements

By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

The city of Goleta recently installed systems that will provide visual alerts to motorists when a pedestrian is crossing the street at two intersections.

The project featured Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons on Hollister Avenue and Chapel Street and a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon system at Calle Real and Kingston Avenue.

Both systems utilize flashing lights to draw the attention of motorists when a pedestrian wants to cross the street. The rapid beacons flashes lights from a rectangular LED-box to alert a driver that a pedestrian is crossing, while the hybrid system is pedestrian-activated and shows a series of lights to direct the driver.

When activated by a pedestrian, the pedestrian system will show a steady red light followed by a blinking red light. All drivers are to stop at the steady red light and can proceed if the intersection is clear when the signal shows a blinking red light.

During installation, the city also included new signage that explains this new protocol to drivers.

In addition to these new devices, the project also aligned the Americans with Disabilities curb ramp

with the new crosswalk striping at Hollister Avenue and Chapel Street. Other intersection improvements include new striping, signage and crosswalk lighting.

According to a news release, the city of Goleta acquired a federal grant from the Highway Safety Improvement Program for $237,780 for the project, with additional funding from the local Measure A sales tax of roughly $300,000 and from the General Fund for about $100,000.

The project was completed on time and under budget, according to the release.

“We are excited that the crosswalk improvements are constructed at these two intersections,” Goleta senior project engineer James Winslow said. “We submitted and received the HSIP grant based on the safety improvements recommended at these two locations. The pedestrian improvements will benefit all users.

“The Public Works Department appreciates the community’s initial input during the design phase and their continued patience during construction activities as we implement these crosswalk enhancements.”

A group of homeowners in Los Alamos are voicing resistance to a developer’s project that could create new housing units on a plot near Shaw Street, a private road that homeowners fear could become overrun with traffic if new residences are established.

The crux of this ongoing debate centers on a building project spearheaded by developer Stephen Ruffino, who has applied through the county’s Planning and Development Department to split the plot into four parcels.

In the future, the parcels could be used to create dwellings on a plot of land on Main Street in Los Alamos and use a portion of Shaw Street as an access road.

The problem with this, homeowners say, is that Shaw Street is a private road that is maintained by homeowners on the street and is often used for recreation by community members. Residents argue that if these new units are installed on Main Street, it will increase potential traffic hazards on the street that is outside the county’s jurisdiction.

Nearly a decade ago, the county decided to privatize the road and left it up to the homeowners on Shaw Street to maintain it. Since then, the Shaw Street Maintenance Association has maintained the street by organizing new paving, adding speed bumps and paying annual dues for road upkeep.

Seth Steiner, the president of the Shaw Street Maintenance Association, said the road is private and is only to be used by people who are paying dues for its maintenance. If additional units are added at the Main Street plot, Mr. Steiner said this would increase traffic on the small street, which residents fear could cause more accidents where the road bottlenecks.

“The road is used by residents all over town because it is quiet and safe — families ride on it, people run and bike,” Mr. Steiner told the News-Press. “A

lot more traffic is going to be more dangerous, especially at the bottleneck, and this wasn’t accounted for when the planners made their decisions.”

Shaw Street, as it currently stands, narrows to one lane a few hundred feet before the intersection of Foxen Lane.

If this project is approved, developers have proposed plans to widen a portion of the street near the entrance to the plot and shorten the bottleneck, but Mr. Steiner is skeptical of this measure. He accused the county of ignoring the traffic issues associated with the designated plot off of Shaw Street.

“The main issue for us is from the very beginning, going back 10 years, is that the county dropped the road in our laps,” Mr. Steiner said. “Financial responsibility was all ours, none in the county’s lap, and now the county is ignoring the fact that there is a bottleneck (on Shaw Street). The county is in the process of (approving) planning that would increase more risk of injury and accident because of the bottleneck that the county is trying to ignore that won’t go away.”

The issue with access to Shaw

Street is tricky and has been an ongoing debate since Mr. Ruffino initially settled on the plot in 2017.

Initially, Mr. Ruffino approached the SSMA, asking to join the association to gain access to the street, but the cohort denied the request. But about a year later, Mr. Ruffino returned to the SSMA with a 2004 resolution from the Board of Supervisors that said anyone who acquired the plot could use Shaw Street for access.

Now, Mr. Ruffino’s request to split the lot into four parcels will be reviewed by the zoning administrator in the next two or three months, according to Supervising Planner Holly Owen.

In an emailed response to the News-Press, Ms. Owen emphasized that there are currently no construction plans under review for this plot. At this time, the county is only reviewing Mr. Ruffino’s request to split up the plot, and any proposal would go through an extensive review process in the county.

In response to community concerns, Ms. Owen said the Planning and Development Department, the Public Works Department, the Fire Department and Caltrans have worked to address the concerns “to the extent that (they) can.” This included holding a community meeting with the district supervisor’s office back in January.

“We do understand that the new lots may eventually allow a new density for this neighborhood and, that with new density comes more traffic,” Ms. Owen said via email. “It is zoned for residential housing.”

She added that the property is in the Two Family Residential Zoning district, so each lot could hold a duplex if proposed.

According to Ms. Owens, “Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) regulations would, if proposed, allow an additional two units per lot, which is current state law.”

Mr. Ruffino did not return a News-Press request for comment to discuss community concerns. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

San Marcos High School Mock Trial team recognized schools

Continued from Page A1 Capps recommended in the last two meetings to add Wednesdays to the schedule.), the five-day and four-day week was met with hesitation.

The only public comment on the return to campus came from Hillary Blackerby, planning and marketing manager at Santa Barbara Metropolitan Transit District.

“We have been working with district staff for over a year to plan, prepare, be flexible, start over and prepare again all to be ready to operate our 17 booster routes to and from the junior high and high schools when students return to campus,” she said.

MTD prepared to add Wednesdays to its schedules and pivoted Monday when district officials met with MTD and announced the shift to four-day weeks.

She wrote a letter to the superintendent and board president last week about sudden changes.

“We’ve become much more flexible and nimble this past year but any changes to our schedule takes a great deal of work,” she said.

“While we don’t have any kind of contract or agreement with the district to provide this service, we take our duty of getting students to school very seriously. That means working with up-to-date information and with enough notice to make it happen.”

District officials also presented preliminary summer-school plans,

including incentives for teachers to work during the summer.

The board approved the incentive pay, at a cost of $900,000, to be funded through learningloss mitigation funds.

Administrators plan to hold summer school Monday to Thursday, which was questioned by board member Virginia Alvarez.

“I want to make sure no family, no students are left out of a summer program because they need a place to go on a Friday,” she said.

Ana Escobedo, assistant superintendent of elementary education, explained that the fourday schedule was created to make summer school more appealing to teachers.

Ms. Alvarez and board clerk Wendy Sims-Moten asked if administrators had surveyed teachers about intentions to work in the summer.

Dr. John Becchio, assistant superintendent of human resources, said a survey would be launched pending the board’s approval of the incentive program.

Superintendent Maldonado clarified that teachers have been made aware of the summer schedule, which is June 14 to July 23.

The summer program is aimed at vulnerable students, like emergent multilingual learners and high schoolers behind on credits.

Board members asked for more details about student prioritization, which administrators promised will be shared next meeting.

There were successes shared

during the meeting, such as low test positivity rates in the district’s COVID-19 testing.

At the start of the school board meeting, the San Marcos High School Mock Trial team was recognized in Superintendent Maldonado’s report.

The Royals team won the Santa Barbara County mock trial championship late February and took fourth out of 32 teams in the California state mock trial championship.

The team competed via Zoom March 18-21, as students participated in real-life scenarios, acting as attorneys, witnesses and detectives.

Senior Jack Strand was awarded “Best Police Officer in the State.”

Teacher Luke Ohrn and attorneys Hilary Dozer and Jim Kreyger coach the team, and students Ayla Sutter, Owen Williams, Peri Wilby and Makena Shlens are captains.

“In 15 years of coaching Mock Trial at San Marcos, this team stands apart as being steadfast in their mission, resilient, and tenacious,” said Coach Ohrn in a news release. “They made the best of a difficult situation and showed real strength of character as they worked hard during every Zoom practice, scrimmage, and at the county and state competitions.

I am very proud to have worked with these terrific students and our adult coaches.”

The full meeting is available to watch on the district’s YouTube page: youtube.com/ watch?v=LChzsAYEHgk. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

“When out-of town guests come to see me and I tell them I am going to take them on a tour of the (Santa Barbara County) courthouse, their first reaction is ‘Why would we want to see a courthouse?’ docent Diana Washburn said. “Afterward, they can’t believe how beautiful it is.”

s a child growing up in Santa Barbara, Diana Washburn has many fond memories of Fiesta activities at the Santa Barbara County Courthouse — “getting dressed up in costumes, watching the Spanish dancers, being mesmerized by the setting. It was magical.”

“When I was at Santa Barbara Junior High and Santa Barbara High, we used to go over there to ride the elevator, which was a big deal in those days. Other buildings didn’t have elevators.

We would take it to the top and look around the city.”

Since the Santa Barbara native became a courthouse docent in 2017, her appreciation for the National Historic Landmark, which was completed in 1929 after the disastrous 1925 earthquake, has taken on a whole new dimension.

“I drive by it frequently from my home on the lower Riviera, and I never get tired of it,” Ms. Washburn told the News-Press.

“When out-of town guests come to see me and I tell them I am going to take them on a tour of the courthouse, their first reaction is ‘Why would we want to see a courthouse?’

“Afterward, they can’t believe how beautiful it is.”

Ms, Washburn said she learned about the courthouse docent program from her friend Shyama

Osborne.

“She said, ‘You love history.

You love architecture. You love interacting with people.’ It sounded fascinating, so I signed up,” said Ms. Washburn, whose grandparents, parents John and Eugenia Prola, and daughter

were married at the courthouse.

“I have a picture of my parents standing in front of the Lawyers’ Arch near the intersection of Anacapa and East Figuroa streets.”

Before she could begin to lead monthly tours for the public, Ms.

Washburn had to complete a rigorous training course, which she described as “a wonderful experience. I was amazed at how in-depth it was. I learned so much. It felt like a university class with a lot of reading.

“I started seeing architectural

features I never noticed before and learned about its history. I became more aware of the tile work not only in the courthouse but around the city.”

While leading tours before the pandemic canceled them, Ms. Washburn particularly enjoyed

meeting people from all over the world.

“They were so friendly and appreciative. They wanted to give me tips and hugs,” she said. “It was thrilling to show them the Bisno Schall Clock Gallery, but I always warned them to cover their ears when the bells rang.”

Even though the courthouse is still closed to the public due to COVID-19, the docents continue to have monthly meetings and continuing education speakers via Zoom.

There are also Fiesta and Christmas parties and yearly field trips.

“Recently, we went to the Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles to see the ballroom ceiling painted by Giovanni Smeraldi, who painted the ceilings in the courthouse. It was a wonderful trip,” said Ms. Washburn, who earned her bachelor’s degree in art history at Long Beach State University and her teaching credential at UC Irvine.

After teaching in elementary schools in Costa Mesa for 10 years, she moved to Marin County. She worked for McGraw Hill Publishing Co. and did freelance modeling for 15 years.

“I was a member of the Mannequin League of Marin County, a nonprofit that donated to groups like Big Brothers and Big Sisters and other charitable organizations in the Bay Area,” said Ms. Washburn.

In 1999, she moved back to Santa Barbara with her mother, the late Ruth Krola, who had inherited the home Ms. Washburn’s grandparents had built in 1949.

Village Properties owner Renee Grubb said “it’s quite an accomplishment” for the Santa Barbara County business to be ranked among the nation’s top brokerage companies.

Village Properties receive award Village Properties, a locally owned real estate agency, has been recognized as one of the nation’s top brokerage companies based on the average price of homes sold last year.

The Santa Barbara County business ranked third nationwide in the average sales price per volume category in 2020, according to RealTrends, the county’s leading source for information on the residential real estate industry.

“This is a tremendous honor, and a testament to the hard work our agents put in every day to help homeowners maximize the sales price of their properties,” Village Properties owner Renee Grubb said in a statement. “As a locally owned, independent brokerage, it’s quite an accomplishment to be ranked so highly.”

Realtors from Village Properties represented 840 buyers and sellers last year, capping off their total sales volume at $1.8 billion. The average price of transactions was roughly $2.2 million.

The company has more than 150 agents between its offices in Montecito, Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez. Village Properties recently became a member of the elite Forbes Global Properties, a customer marketplace that shows high-value homes all over the globe.

“My plan was to get my mother settled, fix up the house and then move to Lake Tahoe, but I fell in love with Santa Barbara and stayed. As a child, I always took its beauty for granted. I never realized what an amazing place it was,” she said.

Determined to find a new career, Ms. Washburn became manager for the Foster Grandparent and Senior Companion Programs for Santa Barbara County, sponsored by the Tri-Counties Regional Center.

“My job was to recruit, train and place low-income seniors in schools and adult programs for those with special needs.

It was such a joy and honor to work with those wonderful people,” said Ms. Washburn, who has a son and daughter and four grandchildren.

During this time she also became a member of the Rotary Club of Santa Barbara

She also became a volunteer for C.A.R.E.4 Paws, whose mission is to provide services to animals and their owners.

The owner of Oliver, a 3-yearold Havanese cocker spaniel, is spearheading the installation of a dog drinking fountain at the Sheffield Reservoir.

After retiring from the Foster Grandparent program, Ms. Washburn traveled for a year, visiting the Greek Islands, France, Hawaii and Turkey.

Ms. Washburn said that during frequent walks around the neighborhood with her dog, she stops to chat with people.

“When I mention that I’m a docent at the courthouse, they say that they have never been there. I tell them they must go, and I’ve even taken them on special tours.” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

Samantha You’ve heard of the movie “Grumpy Old Men.” Now get ready for Grumpy Old Kitty!

Samantha is 16 years old. And frankly, she is sick and tired of all the young whippersnappers getting all the attention with their silly dances on social media with posts saying “Adopt me!”

Like those youngsters, Samantha wants to get a home of her own. But instead of dancing, she’s simply awaiting adoption

through the Santa Barbara Humane Society.

“As a lady of a certain age, Samantha can be a bit grumpy at times,” the humane society said.

“She doesn’t particularly have any desire to be held, or petted, but she would be totally fine if you were to stay in the same room as she naps in the sun.”

To learn more about Samantha, check out her profile at sbhumane.org. To bring her into your home, email adopt@ sbhumane.org to make an adoption appointment today.

Diversions horoscope • puzzles

ARIES — Emotional conflict is likely to ensue today if you aren’t careful, Aries. People may step on your toes if you give them the opportunity. Make sure you aren’t vulnerable to attack. Someone may be ready to confront you, so you must be ready to defend yourself.

The best way to combat whatever force tries to shoot you down is to have confidence in yourself even if you don’t have everything perfectly planned.

TAURUS — Get out of “gimme” mode, in which every new toy or gadget you see calls out your name, Taurus. If you keep thinking that you need these material things in order to be happy, you will never be truly satisfied no matter how much you have. In this same vein, don’t think that you need to buy tangible things for others in order to demonstrate your love for them.

GEMINI — It’s important to turn your attention to more spiritual matters now, Gemini. Consider enrolling in a yoga class that combines meditation with the physical practice. It’s vital to link your mind, body, and soul together.

The more you can integrate these three parts of your being, the healthier you will feel. A highenergy dance class would also be a good way to achieve this goal.

CANCER — There’s a special power to your words today, Cancer, and an internal confidence that rarely comes around this strongly.

You should notice strength in your emotions and personality.

Take this opportunity to get one step ahead of the game. You have a special influence that can’t be matched by anyone. Don’t let others convince you of anything you aren’t 100 percent sure of yourself.

LEO — Break open any door that seems to block you today, Leo. It won’t take a great deal of effort on your part to accomplish this.

The key is to be more flexible in your approach and merge with the group effort instead of trying to fight against it. You will find that when you open yourself to the people around you, there are a significant number who want to break down that same door.

VIRGO — If you feel like you’re running on reserve battery power, Virgo, remember that you always have a reserve tank ready to kick in. Don’t disregard this. It might help you to know that there’s only a little time left on the clock.

You work more efficiently under pressure.November Just remain16, calm and Monday, 2015 remember that it isn’t the end of

the world if things don’t work out exactly the way you’d like.

LIBRA — Add a bit of spark to your day, Libra. Get yourself into gear. It might feel like there’s a great deal of anticipation in the air, but don’t get ahead of yourself. Enjoy the day you’ve been given, and make sure you use every minute to its fullest potential. Small annoyances may turn into large headaches unless you maintain an honest mind and neutral standpoint.

SCORPIO — Fire up your energy today, Scorpio, and demonstrate your power to conquer. Create a bonfire of activity that gives off a great deal of heat to the people around you. Some might not be able to stand too close now. Don’t worry - that’s their problem, not yours. The key for you now is to be yourself. In this way, you will attract those who enjoy the intense heat.

SAGITTARIUS — Get out of “gimme” mode, in which every new toy or gadget you see calls out your name, Sagittarius. If you keep thinking that you need these material things in order to be happy, you will never be truly satisfied no matter how much you have. In this same vein, don’t think that you need to buy tangible things for others in order to demonstrate your love for them.

CAPRICORN — It’s important to turn your attention to more spiritual matters now, Capricorn.

Consider enrolling in a yoga class that combines meditation with the physical practice. It’s vital to link your mind, body, and soul together.

The more you can integrate these three parts of your being, the healthier you will feel. A highenergy dance class would also be a good way to achieve this goal.

AQUARIUS — Reach out to those people you know will make you feel better today, Aquarius.

There’s no reason to sit in your room alone and depressed when you know there are people who would love to hear from you. Don’t think that others are too busy to listen to your thoughts and feelings. Your emotions are strong, and your incredibly sensitive mind can offer a great deal of insight.

PISCES — Don’t get bogged down by past events today, Pisces.

It’s time to move forward. Leap out of bed as if it were your first day on the planet. Realize how lucky you are to be alive and how much power and influence you have. Use your power wisely, for you will find that it’s stronger than usual. Note that relationships with women are apt to be especially rewarding on a day like this.

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.

McGreevy is computing some striking numbers for UCSB baseball

By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Michael McGreevy used to swear by the Bull Durham credo that baseball is a “simple game.”

“You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball,” the script said.

“Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains.”

But there aren’t many rainouts at UC Santa Barbara, nor is there anything simple about the analytics the Gaucho coaches employ when they teach pitching.

McGreevy, now in his third season with the team, has come a long way since his arrival from San Clemente High School in the fall of 2018. The 6-foot-4 righthander was named Big West Conference Pitcher of the Week after throwing his first Gaucho shutout on Friday.

“It was a whole other level for me because we had none of that in high school,” McGreevy said of computer analytics that UCSB employs. “My whole pitching philosophy was just, ‘Throw strikes, get guys out.’ That’s it. Not, ‘Oh, we can make your fastball do this and your slider do that even better.’

“The first couple of weeks of learning all those things really bothered me.”

UCSB coach Andrew Checketts had recruited McGreevy as both a pitcher and a shortstop.

“He’s a good enough athlete that if he was only a position player, he probably would’ve figured out a way to be a starting position player,” he said. “He was a plusplus defender … a plus-shortstop. Actions, athletic, really good hands.

“We’re not going to do anything with him now because he’s so valuable on the mound to risk an injury.”

That athleticism also gave McGreevy a good feel for pitching. It made him question why Checketts would try to dissect his pitching with computer data.

“Checks does such a great job of it, he’s such a good teacher of that, and he was

like, ‘Hey, it could be better … It could be better,’” McGreevy said. “That really bothered me because I was like, ‘I’m throwing strikes, what am I doing wrong?

I can’t seem to get it.’

“It took my mentor my freshman year, Chris Lincoln, to calm me down and go, ‘Look, I know it’s frustrating. Just listen and absorb as much of the stuff as you can because these guys are geniuses and they know what they’re doing. And if you can still get all of that, you’ll be that much better of a pitcher.’

“Since then, I’ve taken in the whole analytics approach and everything has gotten a lot better.”

McGreevy served as UCSB’s top reliever in 2019, getting six saves while posting a win-loss record of 5-1 and an earned run average of 1.94. He was converted into a starter for last year’s COVID-abbreviated season, going 2-0 with a 0.99 ERA. He was looking for even better things this season, adding 15 pounds of muscle.

His velocity reached 96 mph during the fall workouts.

“Last year, he was 89-91, flash a 92 here, a 93 there,” Checketts said. “His average fastball was in the 90 mph range. This year, his average fastball has been around the 93 mph range.”

But there was a double edge to the sword of his firmer fastball when opponents locked into the pitch at the start of the season.

“It looked like he was just trying to overpower people,” Checketts said. “He was throwing it in there, but the quality of the strikes wasn’t great early. Maybe he was overthrowing a bit, in love with the new velocity and trying to throw it by guys’ bats.

“He’s located much better the last couple of outings.”

He allowed just three hits and no walks in Friday’s shutout at Hawaii. He struck out 10 batters to match his career high, set previously on March 20 at Cal State Fullerton.

McGreevy’s pitching has helped the Gauchos (18-8, 9-3 Big West Conference) win seven of their last eight games.

They’ve moved within one game of firstplace UC Irvine (16-9, 10-2) entering this weekend’s four-game series with Cal State Northridge and up to No. 25 in the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association poll.

McGreevy leads the Big West in strikeouts with 51 and is second in wins to teammate Rodney Boone, having posted a 4-0 record so far this season.

He’s also fifth in the conference in earned run average (2.42) and ranks 12th nationally in strikeout-to-walk ratio (51-to-5).

His command rivals that of Shane Bieber, the Cleveland Indians’ Cy Young Award winner who struck out 109 and walked just 16 during UCSB’s College World Series season of 2016.

“Shane tried to shake off an intentional walk when he was here,” Checketts said with a laugh. “He used to shake off pitchouts and intentional walks. He didn’t like to walk guys.

“McGreevy, he’s a strike-thrower. His velo is down a tick but part of that is just that he’s a little bit finer with his pitches. I think that’s who he is and what he should be.”

He operates at such a fast tempo that Checketts usually doesn’t call his pitches.

“It takes too long — he’s out there waiting and waiting and waiting,” he said.

“I felt I should jump in there and help him against Fullerton about mid-game. But this last game, I think called maybe one pitch, and it got hit.

“He is a fast-paced, up-tempo guy, and a ground-ball guy. The guys like playing defense behind him.”

McGreevy complements his fastball with a wicked slider, and he uses his curveball as “a little bit more of an early count, show-me pitch.” He’s also starting to throw a changeup.

“He actually threw six of them last

There’s enough room for improvement, he added, for McGreevy to reach the same big-league stage as Bieber.

SPORTS ROUNDUP

Westmont completes unbeaten GSAC season in soccer

By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Westmont College capped an undefeated Golden State Athletic Conference season in men’s soccer with a 6-0 romp at San Diego Christian on Tuesday.

The 17th-ranked Warriors (6-1-1, 5-0-1) wound up allowing just one goal in six league matches.

“It was a really terrific way to finish up the regular season,” coach Dave Wolf said of the six-goal outburst. “It’s always nice to score goals because usually that’s accompanied by confidence.”

Westmont scored first on an own goal by San Diego Christian (5-6, 1-5) in the 15th minute.

Owen Bates scored his fourth goal of the season just three minutes later on an assist from Micah Nelson.

“Owen has definitely hit a different gear,” Wolf said. “His play adds a layer to our attack that’s been missing. It opens things up for Sam (Tuscano), Jona, and everyone else in the final third because if Owen keeps threatening they’re going to have to commit some cover for him.”

Also scoring for the Warriors were Nelson, Cole DiMatteo, Jona Romero, and Joshua Phillips.

Westmont’s next scheduled match is the GSAC Championship game on April 16 against Ottawa University later this month in Surprise, Az. BOYS SOCCER

SANTA BARBARA 3, DOS PUEBLOS 2 The Chargers led early on a goal by Seba Dupont, but the Dons rallied with three consecutive goals for their cross-town win.

Finn Silver also scored for DP. Santa Barbara’s statistics were not made available by press time.

SAN MARCOS 2, CABRILLO 0 Jared Vom Steeg and A.J. Ranii scored for the Royals as they opened Channel League play with a win over the visiting Conquistadores, improving to 3-0 overall.

“We struggled to finish many of our chances but we certainly created lots of them,” coach Paul McLean said. “A.J., Yahir Vasquez and Sergio Diaz were very active tonight. Senior captain J.C. Orgaz did a great job leading our back line.

“It is great to have Caden and Jared Vom Steeg back in the middle for us.”

GIRLS SOCCER

SANTA BARBARA 2, DOS PUEBLOS 0 Liberty Tank got the Dons off on the right foot, scoring off an early corner kick by Isabella Garafolo. Ally Gardner added her first goal of the season on a pass from Kasia Wolf.

PREP BASEBALL

SANTA BARBARA 4, SANTA YNEZ 2 Juan Perez pitched a one-hitter through five innings, allowing just one walk and one run with five strikeouts in the Dons’ road win.

Zac Lee-Pavlik closed out the win, giving up two hits in the last two innings. Jordan Harris went 2-for-4 for Santa Barbara (3-3) with an RBI and a run scored.

Jackson Cloud had an RBI and scored its other run while making his catching debut for Santa Ynez (2-3). Brian Lood and Travis Pratt combined to limit the Dons to five hits.

The Dons lost to Royal 4-1 in Monday’s game.

Oliver McGibben had two of Santa Barbara’s hits. Erick Elizalde struck out four batters in two innings of relief and, “really came into his own today,” coach Steve Schuck said.

Royals basketball opener canceled

San Marcos High canceled its Tuesday night boys basketball opener against Oxnard when it failed to receive its weekly COVID test results.

Athletic director Abe Jahadhmy said he would try to reschedule the game at a later date.

UCSB halts water polo season

UCSB has cancelled the final three regularseason matches of its women’s water polo team due to what a spokesman described as “COVID-related issues within the program.”

The Gauchos (3-5, 1-1 Big West Conference) will also not participate in the Big West Tournament which begins at UC San Diego on April 30.

“It is unfortunate that we needed to take this action,” director of athletics John McCutcheon said. “But circumstances forced our decision.

We will continue to support the team as we progress through this difficult situation.”

UCSB, which was scheduled to play host to Hawaii on Sunday, had lost five of its last six matches., Its last three matches were all lost by two goals or less: 11-9 to No. 11 UC Davis on March 21, 7-6 at UC San Diego on March 26, and 6-5 at UC San Diego on March 27.

UCSB golf finishes 22nd

UCSB struggled to an 18-over par 303 in the final round at the Wyoming Cowboy Classic on the Cattail Course of the Whirlwind Golf Club,

ending with a three-round total of 906 (42-overpar) and a 22nd-place finish.

Freshman Andrew Ricci carded a 4-over par 76 to finish the tournament in a tie for 52nd with a 3-over 219. Senior Brandon Bueno was 3-over for the day, finishing at 11-over and tied for 93rd. Freshman John Bush had the best round of any Gaucho on Tuesday as he registered a 2-over 74, finishing at 13-abovepar for the tournament, tied for 101st.

GSAC honors Warrior trio

Three key players from Westmont College’s fourth-ranked women’s volleyball team — sophomore Lexi Malone, senior Madison Morrison and sophomore Keelyn Kistner — were honored with Golden State Athletic Conference Player of the Week Awards.

Malone was tabbed as Attacker of the Week after leading the undefeated Warriors with 37 kills in four victories. She got 15 of them in Friday’s 3-1 win over San Diego Christian and is now averaging 2.78 per set with an attack percentage of .316.

Morrison earned her second-straight Defensive Player of the Week Award after averaging nearly five digs per set with a receiving percentage of .951. She notched 69 digs, 15 assists, and recorded only four errors in 41 attempts on the week.

Kistner was honored as Setter of the Week for the second time this season after averaging 5.57 assists per set over the four wins. She also had 26 digs and four aces.

Westmont (13-0, 10-0 GSAC) will play its final regular-season match on Friday at 5 p.m. when Azusa Pacific visits Murchison Gym. The Warriors will open NAIA National Tournament play on April 17.

The Gauchos, who played a match at Sacramento State on Sunday, will return to Harder Stadium on April 18 to battle rival Cal Poly in a doubleheader. The matches will start at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m.

stationed in Santa Barbara next week.

Officials are also targeting smaller communities who don’t have mass vaccination sites, like Guadalupe and Carpinteria.

“They’re always working to try to identify how we can do better and do more outreach to really help communicate and educate the communities to come in and get vaccinated,” Ms. Lapolla said.

She has noticed less hesitation from those receiving the vaccine, and people seem receptive to whatever manufacturer the site is offering.

“I thought we might be getting requests for types of vaccine, but

clinic down to Santa Barbara next week, prepared to offer over 7,500 vaccine appointments.

The clinic is up in Santa Maria this week, offering more than 9,100 appointments through the weekend.

During Tuesday’s meeting, the supervisors also approved a resolution to declare racism as a public health crisis in the county.

Part of the resolution reads, “Systemic racism causes persistent racial discrimination in

housing, education, employment transportation and criminal justice. An emerging body of research demonstrates that racism is a social determinant of health and a significant barrier to achieving health equity.”

Dr. Van Do-Reynoso, the director of the public health department, said her department is joining with other local boards and state officials to “protect and improve” the lives of those feeling the impacts of systemic racism.

“The Department of Social Services, the Department of Behavioral Wellnesses and Public Health, we all serve

populations in the county that are disproportionately people of color who suffer the effects of systemic racism and are overwhelmingly living in poverty,” Dr. Do-Reynoso said.

She added, “The ongoing harms of racism and the disproportionate impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on black, indigenous, Latinx, Asian and Pacific Islander communities in Santa Barbara County will continue to have adverse effects on our health.”

Gregg Hart, the 2nd District supervisor, praised the resolution during Tuesday’s meeting.

“I deeply want this next generation to inherit a county that is free from the inequity fueled by systemic racism,” Mr. Hart said.

“This is no easy task. In order to advance racial equity, we must first acknowledge the long history of racism in our country before we can address the challenges that exist.”

In addition to these items, the board also heard an update on the five-year capital improvement program and a proposed fee ordinance from the Public Works Department. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com
