Running unaffiliated Mayoral candidate Randy Rowse campaigns without political party By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Former Santa Barbara City Councilmember Randy Rowse is starting his campaign for mayor, hoping to catch support from business owners and people unaffiliated with a political party. He’s running without a left or right tilt, he says, because the job of mayor shouldn’t involve donkeys or elephants. Instead, he

wants to focus on Santa Barbara. The mayor should focus on “precisely the city issues, not outside issues, not ideologies, politics — but what’s going on in the city,” he told the News-Press. A two-party system has only recently pervaded local government, he said. He thinks the office should be nonpartisan. “There is no Republican or Democratic view of the city that makes a difference,” he said. “The only major difference is what goes on

with the city itself. “My politics and my ideologies are mine. I still have them, but I don’t take them into work with me when I go into City Council or City Hall.” As for his platform, he has ideas — though he tries not to be stuck to them. He’s told local media that he only sees the State Street promenade as a short-term solution. He doesn’t like closing down streets, Please see ROWSE on A4

Intelligence satellite launches from VAFB By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A rocket carrying a national intelligence satellite successfully launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base Monday afternoon. Santa Barbara County residents could see the rocket propel through the sky just past 1:45 p.m. The mission, carried out by the United Launch Alliance, serves the National Reconnaissance Office, which uses satellites to inform National Security, policy makers and war fighters. The rocket, a Delta IV Heavy, has a 100% success rate untarnished by Monday’s launch. It is the 13th launch of the model. The Delta IV Heavy is ULA’s most powerful rocket and weighs 1.6 million pounds fully fueled before burning 1,945 pounds of fuel each second as it travels upward. “The unmatched power of the Delta IV Heavy again demonstrated its role as the nation’s proven heavy lift vehicle precisely Please see VAFB on A4

The colorful Zitzilin Imports boasts goods from Turkey, India, Mexico and Italy, drawing customers inside its doors to browse vases, dishes and other trinkets. Now that the county is in the orange tier, store co-owner Citlali Guerrero said she is hopeful to see increased customer traffic as more people flock to State Street to dine downtown.

By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

After an unpredictable year for local businesses, retail store owners are seeing clientele return to their shops now that Santa Barbara County has moved into the less restrictive tier of COVID-19 restrictions. Since Santa Barbara County

officially moved into the orange tier last Tuesday, retail businesses were allowed to reopen with significantly less restrictions. According to State guidelines, retail storefronts can reopen without any capacity limits set by the California Department of Public Health, but owners are expected to enforce mask wearing and social distancing

After a “dismally slow” January and February, Ms. Burgner said the shift into the red tier was like someone “flipped a switch” and all of a sudden, customers began flooding back to the shop after spending most of the pandemic shopping online. “What’s been interesting to see is that the people who are coming out now, Please see BUSINESSES on A4

For Nancy Burgner, co-owner of Lovebird Boutique, the move into the orange tier is accelerating a comeback that began when the county moved into the red tier in mid-March.

Santa Barbara County to resume J&J vaccine distribution this week By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department is set to resume distribution of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine at its distribution clinics this week. The decision comes after a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory board directed clinics to resume use of the vaccine following an 11-day pause to investigate more than a dozen instances of rare blood clots. Neighboring Ventura County will also resume use of the shot this week, according to a news release. About 8 million doses of the J&J vaccine have been distributed nationwide, and the rare blood clots occurred in about 15 women. No cases of the rare blood clot reaction have been reported in Santa Barbara County, public health officials said in a news release Monday. The CDC and Food and Drug Administration have issued guidance on how to treat rare

Correction The former Montecito Country Club was re-named The Montecito Club in 2016, and the total cost of recent renovations was $119.5 million. In a story in Saturday’s News-Press, the newspaper erred in saying the club had a new name, but accurately reported that the renovation cost is almost $120 million in the print edition. An incorrect number appeared in a caption of the website version of the story.

California will lose one U.S. House of Representatives seat before the 2022 midterm elections based on the results of the 2020 Census released Monday afternoon. The state still has the largest representation, with 52 seats. In second, Texas has 38 seats. The California Citizens Redistricting Commission will redraw districts after Census block data is released. Redistricting data will be late, coming in by September 30. The U.S. Census Bureau had to pivot during the pandemic, sending out mailers prompting residents to answer questions online. Some questioned the quality of the results. Former President Donald Trump challenged Census collection, seeking to count U.S. citizens exclusively as opposed to all residents. The Supreme Court blocked the order. “We had numerous quality checks built into collecting the data, and we have conducted one of the most comprehensive reviews in recent census history during data processing. We are confident that today’s 2020 Census results meet our high data quality standards,” the Census Bureau’s acting director Ron Jarmin said in a news release. The results were close to the bureau’s April 1, 2020, population estimate. Nearly 70% of Californians responded to the survey. Other states to lose congressional seats include Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Texas will gain two representatives; and Colorado, Florida, Montana, North Carolina and Oregon will add one seat. Margins were close in some instances. If New York had 89 more residents, it would have maintained its representation.

vaccine clinic this week, while providing patients the option to choose a different vaccine if they have hesitation. Additional doses of the J&J vaccine could also become available at other county vaccine providers later on this week, according to a news release. As of Monday, 28.3% of Santa Barbara County is fully vaccinated, according to data from the county’s Public Health Department. With the number of vaccinated individuals steadily increasing, the county is seeing a consistent decrease in the number of daily cases reported. On Monday, Santa Barbara County recorded 20 new cases of COVID-19 and no new deaths, bringing the total number of active cases countywide to 152 infections. Santa Maria recorded five new cases on Monday, while Isla Vista and Santa Barbara reported three new cases. All other areas reported fewer than three new cases Monday.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK

Dons’ Meister, Royals’ Bienstock chosen as Athletes of the Week By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Santa Barbara High’s highleaping Sam Meister and San Marcos High’s hard-kicking Lily Bienstock were honored by the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table on Monday as its male and female Athletes of the Week. Meister, a 6-foot-5 senior hitter, had 25 kills in a four-game victory over Newbury Park in the 25-17, 19-25, 25-22, 25-21 season-opening victory. He came to Santa Barbara as a raw freshman in the spring of 2018 and will be heading off to UCSB next fall to play for the Gauchos “The guy could just jump out of the gym,” coach Chad Arneson said of his freshman year. “He also was coordinated, and that helped out a lot. “He’s a good kid, a good athlete, and it’s really neat to see how he’s progressed throughout each year.” Also nominated as the male Athlete of the Week were Joaquin Sandoval (San Marcos baseball), Shakir Ahmad (San Marcos basketball), Shams Jahangir-Arshad (San Marcos golf), and Cyrus Symington (Cate swimming). Bienstock, captain of the San Marcos girls soccer team, scored three goals in a 4-0 victory over Cabrillo to extend the Royals’ winning streak to five matches in girls soccer.

Coach Brian Ziegenhagn said the Tufts-bound senior started her scoring onslaught when she “pounced on a loose ball from a cross just inside the box by Eden Lazarus for a tap-in goal.” “Early in the second half, Lily continued her attack form with a beautiful combination play with Sofia Orozco to drive the ball past their goalie,” he continued. “The third goal came minutes later when Aislin Suzuki attacked from a defensive position to find

an open Bienstock inside the 18yard box. Lily then created space to shoot and hit a beautiful shot in the opposite corner with her left foot. “This completed a beautiful hat trick for Lily.” Also nominated were Riley Monroe (Dos Pueblos softball), Mila Speer (Santa Barbara track), and Athena Saragoza (Santa Barbara basketball). email: mpatton@newspress.com

Knecht found the silver lining in a black-and-blue hamstring

WWW.SBAIRBUS.COM 805-964-7759

By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Jake Knecht was in the clear. Or so he thought. Santa Barbara High’s star football receiver beat his Santa Ynez defender down the right sideline. He looked over his left shoulder to see a spiraling football headed right for him. He reached up, caught it, and … “Pop!” went the hamstring, he recalled. “I was just trying to get away from that cornerback,” he said of the injury he suffered during the first quarter of the Dons’ long-delayed, season opener last month. “It happened on the pushoff to extend it. That extension just totally got it.” The last 20 yards of the 65-yard touchdown pass from Deacon Hill were the longest of Knecht’s life. The defender caught up to him just as he limped over the goal line, knocking him to the ground. “I’m super-lucky that I could make it into the end zone,” he said. The play reminded Knecht of the collegiate recruiting odyssey that he’d just completed. He thought he’d been in the clear several months earlier, having received a scholarship offer from Azusa Pacific’s NCAA Division II program. And then it was over in the snap, just like his hamstring. “I was fully committed there, and then Azusa canceled their program in December,” he recalled. “I don’t think my family or I had been that down in years. They told us the program canceled three days before all aps were due, so I had no time to find another school.” Knecht decided to take the high road in this detour toward his goal line. “I was writing on my aps that this would be a blessing in disguise … that you’ve just got to roll with what you get,” he said. “I was reaching out to any school that I could.” His father, Tom Knecht, a political science professor and golf coach at Westmont College, suggested that he attend the Montecito school. “We talked about it and were considering it,” Jake said. “We didn’t have anywhere else to go, and it would be super-good to be with my dad. But I don’t play golf.”

Jake Knecht makes a dazzling catch of a touchdown pass during Santa Barbara High’s 2019 football season.

And Westmont doesn’t play football. Knecht reached paydirt, however, when he got a call from UC Davis, a Big Sky Conference program which competes in the NCAA’s Division 1 Football Championship Subdivision. The Aggies became intrigued with the 5-foot-11, 170-pound senior after watching game film from a junior season in which he caught 26 passes for 600 yards and five touchdowns. His play helped the Dons advance to the CIF-Southern Section Division 8 finals. “I’m just getting goosebumps talking about that season,” Knecht said. “Those guys I played with are some of the best friends I’ve ever had. We shared so many great memories. “It was the first time in a while that we’d made it that far. It was such a blessing even though we lost in the last game (24-21 to topseeded Sunny Hills). It was so much fun to play with my boys and the people that I love.” Knecht, a sprint champion for

Santa Barbara High’s track and field team, is unsure if he’ll make it back to the track this spring. “I’m going step-by-step,” he said. “I’m trying to heal this hamstring. If it heals, I’m going to try, but I also really don’t want to potentially injure myself for Davis coming into summer.” He leaves for Davis for football’s summer camp on June 20. He plans to concentrate on just that sport for now. “In my later years, when I’m comfortable with everything and know the lay of the land, I’ll probably do track,” Knecht said. He’s excited whatever lies ahead of him. The turn of events, he said, was the silver lining in a black-and-blue hamstring. “I really think this was meant to happen,” he said. “By the grace of God, Davis picked me up, and I’m so excited. “UC Davis is a great school, a great football program. The coaches, I loved. I just think they clicked all the boxes for me.” email: mpatton@newspress.com

But with the pandemic barring travel, Ms. Guerrero noticed her sales were mainly coming from individuals in the states as opposed to internationally. “In the beginning, we were struggling, because since we have a lot of people who come from Europe and Middle Eastern come on cruises here, we were like what are we going to do,” Ms. Guerrero said. “But suddenly, people from Sacramento, from San Francisco and from San Diego were coming here to eat and to drink. So we weren’t struggling anymore.” With events and travel expected to reopen in the coming months, other local businesses are also eyeing the boost that will come from customers in search of the perfect event outfit.

Still, in an unprecedented year, Ms. Scott said she is thankful for the steady uptick in sales she’s seen since easing restrictions allowed her to reopen after lockdown in January and February. Looking to the future, she’s hopeful that increased tourism and the return of live events will spearhead increased sales and recovery. “For the first time in all my 14 years like, I feel and hope that we’re going to have a good year or two because (tourists) are going to want to come visit Santa Barbara and I know my clientele is going to start to go to concerts,” Ms. Scott told the News-Press. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

Candidate would like to incentivize affordable housing developments ROWSE

Continued from Page A1 citing city consultants for that opinion. “That’s not necessarily how we’re going to end up,” he said. “It wouldn’t be the first argument of my career I’ve ever lost.” He’s open to changing his mind, which could deter voters looking for rigid plans. “Unpredictable is exactly what you should be in terms of not knowing how you’re going to look at any particular subject… If the subject is predetermined before you even go into the hearing, why have the hearing?” he said. He intends to listen to stakeholders and hopes to leave his personal feelings out of it. “You can’t derive the proper decision making if you’re always either angry or sad or emotional,” Mr. Rowse said. “You have to be able to say things in a very clear and calm manner. “Most discussions today are not devoid of emotion. That’s not just in the city, that’s all

over the country. It’s been distracting, and it certainly hasn’t been productive.” Objectivity sounds simple but wrestles with human nature, he admits. But he thinks he can view each issue in “its own fresh light.” A problem that has long been on residents’ minds is housing. He acknowledges a struggle to get investors to develop affordable housing. So he’d like to incentivize affordable developments, possibly by making the application process less arduous. “Public entities need to enable the private sectors to do these things,” he said. “Maybe we have got to help them out in terms of how the process goes. Maybe we need to incentivize them in ways that haven’t been thought of yet.” As the former owner of Paradise Cafe, he understands the private sector. From his nine years in City Council, he has a local government background as well. “I have a foot in each world. It’s a matter of perspective, it’s not a matter of being smarter than anybody else. It’s just a matter of having

the experience and background,” he said. City Council taught him two things: Santa Barbara has dedicated public servants, and issues can sound more complicated than their core problem. “Complexities happen when we inject them into the system. So we bring in things that are outside ideologies or other kinds of political views. You’re injecting complexity into something that, frankly, our city deserves better,” he said. He is frustrated with city officials who wander into national issues rather than local ones. “To me, it’s about the city. What goes on first and foremost is what goes on with the city’s benefit and not to bring in an outside ideology or pre-formed philosophy that’s going to drive how you make policy,” he said. Currently, he is organizing his campaign and fundraising. The process is only beginning, as he calls the race a “marathon, not a sprint.” email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

‘Young at Heart’

Budding artists range from ages 3 to 11 By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

he 17 budding artists in the “Young at Heart” exhibition at ZFolio Gallery in Solvang are young in

age, too. They range from 3 years old like Klaire Wright and 4 like Malena Sanchez, Patrick Garvey and Isla Long to Zeadan Sherieff and Sophia Menelli, who are 11 years old. Others are Sloan Ellis, Audrey Elcon and Lochlan Whalen, 5: Carly Mendizza, Kalie Wright, Samuel Sanchez, Henry Garvey, Eva Zivic and Layla Olmedo, 6; and Luca Merz Bass and Shelly Brophy, 7. All are students of Art First Studio with teachers Halina Wyluda-Kazmierczak and Christine DiPego, who also have paintings in the show, which is on view through May 23 at the gallery, 1685 Copenhagen Drive. The art works reflect exploration of a wide range of media from crayons and watercolors to acrylic and collage. “Children can learn a lot

through art, and when they draw, paint or make collages, they are learning about their world and creating a new reality,” said Ms. Wyluda-Kazmierczak during a phone interview from Solvang, where she was preparing for the opening of the exhibit last Friday. “When they use paints, pastels or just cut and paste, children are planning, trying out new things and solving problems. “They develop manual ability and eye-hand coordination as they integrate cognitive knowledge and physical growth. As children mix paints, they learn to understand one thing can make changes in another. Art lets children make choices.” A native of Elk, a small city in Poland, Ms. Wyluda-Kazmierczak earned her bachelor’s degree in art education and her master’s degree in fine arts at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, Poland. In 1990, she and her husband, Jarek, and two daughters, Amelia and Kalina, moved to Toronto, where they lived for 25 years before moving to Silicon Valley, Please see YOUNG ART on B2

his has been a year like no other, and with all the goings-on, most everybody is upset about something or at somebody else. Be it personal, political or pandemic-related, most all of us are holding on to some kind of anger, and that is never a good thing for the human psyche. There is a lot of talk about unity, but a lot of people are still holding on to their opinions and hostility, which is not going to make anyone’s life better. I know we are not all going to get along, but a sense of belonging is part of our DNA. And the belief that on some level we are all connected is actually reassuring. Anyone who promotes anger and division is an unbalanced person. Those people want everyone else to feel the same way they do because that validates their negativity. It makes perfect sense except for one thing: The rest of us end up having to deal with the fallout and clean up the mess. The most often used option, if you get triggered, is to stay away, but that really doesn’t work when you

takes time and energy and usually doesn’t feel very good. It’s far better to let go of your anger, because the truth is it won’t help you at all. Once you make the realization that your anger is more destructive to you than to the person you are angry at, a little cognitive work will guide you to the proper steps to release it. There are any number of ways, from the old counting-to-10 trick to running a mile. We all have tools at our disposal to help release those negative feelings so we can find balance again. Healing anger is the first step in healing hate. It is also necessary for any unity, and it will help us end this plague and move our lives forward again. If you keep in mind that anger only holds you back, the choice of holding it in your shirt pocket or kicking it to the curb becomes a no-brainer.

want to be on the same page with those around you. When I’m angry, I don’t yell or lash out. I just walk away, and that person loses me. It takes some effort to let go of the bad feelings, and if I don’t make that effort, my unhealed wounds can get reinjured, making life harder. I don’t expect to become friends with the past, but I can allow a toxic memory to dissolve, so it doesn’t become a constant thought. I know couples who are on opposite sides politically, and they do bump heads, but they get along just fine and actually support one another. The same is true for those who feel more vulnerable to the virus living with others who are more carefree or careless. They have to learn to compromise. These kinds of dynamics can make or break interpersonal relationships, and I think we are obliged to do the work it takes to let go of our anger without making others uncomfortable.

ARIES — Discussions with friends or colleagues about possible future business enterprises could find you taking notes, Aries. Your natural meticulousness should serve you well.

Don’t worry about possible failure. TAURUS — Today everyone will notice how attractive, articulate, and charming you are, Taurus. This is an excellent time to invite friends over or go out with them. Romance should go particularly well. In the course of your conversations, you might become aware of some fascinating and useful information that sparks you on to new interests and possibly new opportunities. Hold onto them and take the next steps. GEMINI — Whether or not you’re artistic, Gemini, inspiration for music, painting, writing, or other creative projects could come to you thick and fast today. Write down your ideas. There could be so many you may not be able to remember them all. You will definitely want to draw upon them later. At least one could involve a new business enterprise with a partner. Take notes and do your research. CANCER — A group activity could involve a number of people, including some close friends, who share your intellectual, philosophical, or spiritual interests, Cancer.

CODEWORD PUZZLE

SUDOKU

Thought for Today

Codeword is a fun game with simple rules, and a great way to test your knowledge of the English language. Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.
