Santa Barbara County back in red tier By MADISON HIRNEISEN

“We definitely can celebrate experiencing these downward trends … but I really want to stress we have to stay vigilant collectively as a county so that we can continue to see a decline in case rates and other metrics,” said Dr. Van Do-Reynoso, the Santa Barbara County public health director, Tuesday about COVID-19.

At long last, Santa Barbara County has officially moved into the red tier, marking a transition that will ease restrictions for businesses and reopen movie theaters and museums at a limited capacity. State officials announced that the county met the threshold to move into the red tier around noon Tuesday, and the updated red tier restrictions will go into effect today. In the red tier, retail storefronts and shopping centers can open at 50% capacity indoors, and restaurants, places of worship, movie theaters, zoos, aquariums and

museums can open at 25% capacity indoors. In addition, red tier restrictions allow gyms to open at 10% capacity indoors. Dr. Van Do-Reynoso, the director of the county’s Public Health Department, relayed this news to the Board of Supervisors Tuesday in addition to providing updated data on the COVID-19 pandemic. She also provided supervisors with an update on vaccine distribution in the county, highlighting that 24% of the county’s vaccine allotment this week will be distributed in the agriculture sector. The COVID vaccine has been a hotbutton topic in recent days after the Biden administration announced ambitious plans

last week to make the vaccine available to all people by May 1. During Tuesday’s meeting, 1st District Supervisor Das Williams voiced skepticism at this goal. “We have nearly 450,000 people in the county. If only 85% of those folks want to get vaccinated … that still means that we have, after the 120,000 that have already been administered, another 600,000 to 645,000 vaccines that need to be administered,” Mr. Williams said. “If the current amount (of vaccine) we’re getting doubled, it would still take 27 weeks.” In the past two weeks, active cases decreased by 42% in the county, and testing Please see red tier on A4

District discusses dual-language campus SB Unified junior high, high schools to open campuses this week By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Santa Barbara Unified School District officials revealed more about its Multilingual Excellence Transforming Achievement plan during the school board meeting Tuesday evening, including transforming McKinley Elementary School into a duallanguage immersion campus. A total of 15.3% of the district’s students are emergent multilingual learners, and 64% of those learners are enrolled in elementary school. The district uses the term “emergent multilingual learners” instead of “English learners” to acknowledge the asset of being multilingual, which the META program cherishes, said María Larios-Horton, executive director

of diversity, equity and family engagement for the district. To better address emergent multilingual learners, administrators plan to expand the dual-language immersion program at McKinley Elementary School, Santa Barbara Junior High and Santa Barbara High School. “Unequivocally and without reservation, we can say that dual-language immersion is the gold standard for all students — but especially for emergent multilingual students,” Ms. LariosHorton said. Dual-language immersion is offered at Adelante Charter School and was established in seventh grade at Santa Barbara Junior High this school year. Currently, 29 students are Please see schools on A4

Cold Spring Bridge on State Route 154 will receive some external upgrades in the coming months as part of a Caltrans project to clean, inspect and repaint the bridge. The maintenance project, which officially began Monday, will complete necessary inspections and give the bridge a fresh coating of green paint for the first time in 50 years. In addition, the project will add a catwalk underneath the structure to allow easier access for crews to perform future inspections. Motorists can expect some traffic delays as a result of the project, but delays are not anticipated to last more than 10 minutes, Caltrans District Five Public Information Officer Jim Shivers said. Highway crews will be working on the bridge Mondays through Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Fridays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., and the bridge will operate with only one lane at these times. The $7 million project is expected to be finished by the spring of 2023. In the meantime, Mr. Shivers told the News-Press

Damage reported in electrical fire SANTA BARBARA — An electrical fire caused an estimated $250,000 damage to

a residence Monday morning, authorities said. The fire was reported around 5:45 a.m. Monday in the 300 block of Peach Grove Lane. Arriving units found flames showing and reported a working fire, prompting additional resources to be called to the scene. Firefighters made an aggressive interior attack and searched the residence for any possible victims, according to the Santa Barbara City Fire Department. Live power lines fell during the incident, which temporarily limited access to the structure until the hazard could be secured, authorities said. No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire is under investigation. The residence located next door also sustained fire damage, authorities said.

PROPOSITION 65 WARNING Diesel Exhaust from Railroad Operations

WENDY McCAW . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Co-Publisher ARTHUR VON WIESENBERGER . . . . Co-Publisher

Railroad locomotives and related equipment used in transporting goods and passengers are powered by diesel engines and emit diesel exhaust. Diesel exhaust is a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, and contains chemicals known to the State to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some people near railroad operations are exposed to diesel exhaust. Exposure depends on many factors, including the type and intensity of railroad operations, how close you are to the facility, how much time you spend there and whether there are other sources of diesel exhaust in your area. This map shows major railroad facilities in this area, although smaller facilities may also result in exposure:

SANTA BARBARA — The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum plans to reopen its doors Thursday after being closed for more than a year. The museum is at 113 Harbor Way, Suite 190. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Santa Barbara museum closed March 15, 2020. The reopening became possible because of Santa Barbara County’s move into the red tier, which was announced Tuesday. Visitors will find the museum has four new exhibits: “Arthur Beaumont: Art of the Sea” (through May 31), “Santa Cruz Acoustic Range Facility (SCARF),” “On this Spot in History with Erin Graffy de Garcia” and Love Letters to the Sea.” From Thursday through March 31, Thursdays and Fridays will be reserved for museum members, volunteers and donors. All members of the public will be welcome on Saturdays and Sundays. Starting April 1, the museum will be open to everyone Thursdays through Sundays. The Museum Store and the Outdoors Santa Barbara Visitor Center on the fourth floor, which were able to reopen several weeks ago, will continue to be open on Thursdays through Sundays as well. The museum’s indoor exhibits are open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays. The Outdoors Santa Barbara Visitor Center is open 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays.

City attorney says allegations against police spokesman ‘extremely serious’ By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Santa Barbara Mayor Cathy Murillo opened Tuesday’s Santa Barbara City Council meeting by announcing that the city will commission an independent investigation into Santa Barbara Police spokesman Anthony Wagner amid allegations about his conduct and involvement with awarding cannabis dispensary licenses. Interim Police Chief Barney Melekian announced Monday that Mr. Wagner, who also briefly served as a spokesman for Ms. Murillo, had been placed on administrative leave. Ms. Murillo said that the article, published Saturday in Los Angeles Magazine, “raised concerns about the city’s recreational cannabis permitting process and suggested there may have been some wrongdoing.” The mayor said the city will take “any necessary action” once that report is final. As Chief Melekian said on Monday, many of the allegations made in the article had been previously investigated or looked into, either by the police department or the city attorney’s office. “Nevertheless, there was new information with additional questions raised about a police department employees’ relationship with individuals involved in the cannabis industry in San Diego,” Chief Melekian said on Tuesday. The chief added that the selection of the independent firm was underway on Tuesday and that a firm would be hired in short order. “I should note that Mr. Wagner, the employee, has been fully cooperative and supportive in this investigation,” Chief Melekian said. “Once we have that result back, the city manager and the city attorney and I are committed to releasing the maximum amount of information out to the public as possible.”

City Attorney Ariel Calonne said the allegations against Mr. Wagner are “extremely serious.” “I think anyone listening could understand that, if true, those allegations would be very damaging to the people that were identified,” Mr. Calonne said. “So, we need to get the facts and the city council is not a position to hire and fire anyone other than (City Administrator Paul) Casey or myself. We serve as at-will, nonpartisan political appointees.” The incident drew a few public comments at Tuesday’s meeting, including one man who said he had supporting documents related to the allegations and stated he was “concerned for the community” as well as his personal safety. Another man accused city leaders of “top-level regime corruption,” that has been going on for years. He questioned how someone who had been investigated by the FBI for corruption could be in charge of the city’s licensing for narcotics. The man accused city management of being “either grossly negligent” in the matter or was promised something in return. He further accused Mr. Calonne and Mr. Casey of aiding and abetting Mr. Wagner and called for the city to clean house. Several others accused Mr. Wagner of taking bribes and spoke against what they said was corrupt behavior. The magazine article accuses Mr. Wagner, who is not a sworn police officer, of flashing a badge and bullying a business owner. Mr. Wagner went on to become the point person who awarded cannabis dispensary licenses for the city of Santa Barbara. In a statement to the press on Monday, Chief Melekian said the city prevailed in a federal lawsuit by one of the unsuccessful cannabis permit applicants, which was dismissed in December 2019. Mr. Wagner has been with the Santa Barbara Police Department since 2017, when he arrived here from San Diego. He joined

De la Guerra Starbucks shuts its doors SANTA BARBARA —The De la Guerra Starbucks, located at 800 State St., permanently shut its doors at the end of the day Tuesday. In a statement to the News-Press, Starbucks said the company continually evaluates to “ensure a healthy store portfolio,” and after consideration, decided the best course would be to close the De la Guerra location. “As difficult as this is, we must make the right

the department at the request of Police Chief Lori Luhnow, who is also from San Diego. Chief Luhnow recently retired from the Santa Barbara Police Department. In a statement to the NewsPress, Mr. Wagner said, “I am in full support (of) and welcome a thorough third-party investigation to clear my good name of these unsubstantiated accusations. I am confident in the process, without reservation.” Mr. Wagner also said the Los Angeles Magazine story contains multiple errors and “misstates and misrepresents my background, significant events in my life, and past professional interactions and personal relationships.” In other business Tuesday, the city received an update on its five-year capital improvement program for fiscal years 202226, as well as a mid-year capital improvement program status update. The council received a presentation on city staff for the proposed and unfunded projects with an associated cost of $1.2 billion. This included $483 million in proposed, funded projects, as well as $706 million unfunded projects. Of the projects with funded budgets, projects on wastewater and water treatment totaled about $207 million, Measure C projects have been allocated $98 million, about $40 million were grant projects or other public-private partnerships, some $38 million for airport improvements and roughly $33 were for Measure A projects. In terms of unfunded projects, nearly $389 million worth of projects are seeking grant funding, some $102 million are for airport improvements and $77 million are general fund projects. The city is anticipating a debt issuance of $88 million for the new police station, officials said. Christi Velasquez, administrative analyst for the city, later said that the city has budgeted for $4.5 million in fiscal years 2022 and 2023 for the

new police station, which is still under design review and could be completed by 2026. Brian D’Armour, city engineer, presented the mid-year update, which showed eight projects that have been completed (totaling $31 million), 20 projects under active construction (totaling $61 million) and 36 future projects for a total of $158 million. Of the completed projects, Mr. D’Armour discussed the recently completed $20 million renovation at the Cabrillo Pavilion, at 1118 E. Cabrillo Blvd., as well as $4.1 million in water main replacements. Several other projects are still under construction, including the Las Positas and Modoc Road multi-use path ($18 million) that could be completed by late 2022, Bohnett Park renovations ($730,000) that could be completed by late spring, and exterior upgrades at the Lois Lowry Davis Center. In addition, Mr. D’Armour made mention various other future projects, including the De la Vina Street crosswalk and bike lane project, which would remove one vehicle lane from West Carrillo Street to West Haley Street and add a new, class-two bike lane (total cost of $1.54 million), as well as work at the Braemar Lift Station at the corner of Alan Road and Cliff Drive, and is adjacent to Arroyo Burro Creek. The $6.9 million project will upgrade the mechanical system at the site.

Mobile testing site offering services for free testing

Continued from Page A1 Storer, based in Modesto, operates buses for public and private sectors throughout the state. When the pandemic struck, it had to park many of its buses and lay off employees. Storer’s owners got creative to get the buses back on the road and developed the BusTest Express. When local health departments leased the buses, Storer hired its drivers back and began expanding its workforce. “Mobile clinics and health outreach services are in high demand in our country; however, a full-service vehicle and operations management package — that includes the ability to rent the vehicle — has never been an industry option until now,” Sarah Storer, co-founder and vice president of BusTest Express, said in a news release. OptumServe, a health services company contracted by

government agencies, partners with Storer to test the samples. Storer provides the bus, drivers and maintenance. The testing is free, and patients sign up online for a spot. They are given a code that helps them check in quickly when they arrive on site. Four windows, two on each side of the bus, open with trained technicians inside the bus. Patients step up on a platform outside the window and swab their nose in front of the technician. It’s a quick process, and patients receive results online in a couple days. BusTest Express has served agricultural workers, driving up to a farm during the workday, and unhoused populations in other areas. Santa Barbara County’s bus has been on tour since Jan. 11. As fewer cases are detected, a question comes to mind: What’s next? Storer is considering providing

buses for COVID-19 vaccinations and hopes to expand its mobile healthcare model beyond the pandemic. “BusTest Express will revolutionize the healthcare industry’s outreach capacity by providing easier access and greater flexibility to healthcare services,” said Donald Storer, co-founder and president of BusTest Express. “These buses are designed for mobility, and can go wherever they’re needed to dramatically increase healthcare capacity in both urban centers and rural areas, along with underserved and hard-to-reach populations.” Storer began almost 70 years ago to provide public transportation to students with special needs. Its focus on accessibility extends into the future. To schedule a COVID-19 testing bus appointment, go to lhi.care/ covidtesting. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

McKinley’s kindergarten classrooms will become dual-language immersion classes at the start of the 2021-2022 school year, and each successive grade will be added each school year. The program will be open to all district elementary students with priority going to those within McKinley’s current boundaries. Students can also transfer out of McKinley if they do not wish to participate. “No student is required to participate in a DLI program, but we cannot deny it is the program that will prepare our students best,” Ms. Larios-Horton said. Opponents of the program are concerned about the amount of English learning that occurs in dual-language immersion. Janeth Jimenez-Mendoza, a SB Unified parent who became a SB Unified student after immigrating from Mexico years ago, didn’t like that her textbooks were in Spanish when she was a student. “Instead of challenging me and helping me succeed, it held me back,” she said. Roseanne Crawford and Alice Post, who represent the Coalition for Neighborhood Schools, were unhappy that the district chose McKinley. Instead, they prefer a school outside of the downtown area. Board member Virginia Alvarez, who was an emergent multilingual learner herself, asked how the district would measure academic success in the program. State assessments are not positioned to measure achievement in dual-language programs, so the district would have to seek data separately, Ms. Larios-Horton said. Superintendent Hilda Maldonado addressed the low test scores of emergent multilingual learners.

Former Macy’s building being reinvented SANTA BARBARA — The Ortega Building, the former location of Macy’s in downtown Santa Barbara at 701 State St., is being repositioned by owner Pacific Retail Capital Partners as office space. The three-story, 132,500 square-foot building will provide the largest office floor plates in the downtown area, with more than 40,000 square feet on each level, with half-floor suites

Junior high and high school campuses will open Thursday to half of its in-person student body, and the other half will arrive Friday. “I think it dehumanizes people when we reduce them to one metric,” she said. She said it is unfair to test non-native speakers against English-only students. The district is exploring ways to measure its students’ success apart from the state assessments. The district will provide tours of McKinley Elementary and further explain the new program from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. April 3 and 17. Santa Barbara Junior High students will showcase the program from 6-7 p.m. April 22 via Zoom. Officials also announced the reopening of secondary campuses, as approved by the board last week. Junior high and high school campuses will open Thursday to half of its in-person student body, and the other half will arrive Friday. Students new to campus are participating in orientation activities through today. In a survey to school staff, 73% of employees noted that they have received a COVID-19 vaccination or are scheduled for an appointment, and 16% are planning to schedule. For unidentified reasons, 11% of SB Unified staff declined to receive a vaccination. Dr. Frann Wageneck, assistant superintendent, assured board members that no additional COVID-19 transmissions have occurred on campus since January. Board members requested that Wednesdays be added as an in-person day, a proposition board member Laura Capps brought last week. “Wednesday, when instruction ends at 11 a.m. for students, it’s just too little, in my

opinion,” she said Tuesday. Superintendent Maldonado did not yet have a plan for Wednesdays and said she’d put together a presentation for the next meeting. Administrators are planning a summer school program to be held June 14 to July 23. Two teacher institutes and two leadership institutes will address the expansion of multilingual education and improved instruction of underserved populations. Steve Vizzolini, director of facilities and operations, updated the board on the renovation at Santa Barbara High School’s Peabody Stadium. The board signed off on the completed project and its $1.8 million in change orders, just over the $1.5 million contingency. The board also approved portable classroom replacement projects at Adams Elementary School with a maximum budget of $6,926,410. Ms. Alvarez questioned a $2.2 million increase in the estimate and asked about a competitive bid process. The project has a lease-leaseback contract with RSH Construction, Inc. for the project, eliminating the bidding process. Sidewalk and pavement repair was added to the scope of work, likely not adding up to $2.2 million in expenses, but Mr. Vizzolini argued it saves the district from tackling it in “the next year or so.” He said it’d be “unsuccessful” to try to move heavy machinery in to replace the patios after the new classrooms there.

as large as 20,000 square feet. The structure is part of the 450,000 squarefoot Paseo Nuevo shopping center, which recently completed more than $20 million in renovations, according to a news release. Greg Bartholomew, Francois DeJohn and Steve Hayes of Hayes Commercial Group will market the office space on behalf of Pacific Retail. The ground floor is simultaneously being marketed to retail, restaurant and grocery tenants, and the building is expected to accommodate a mix of commercial uses, officials said.

“Frankly, there aren’t a lot of tenants in our area looking for 20,000 or 40,000 square feet of office, so we are marketing to companies in Los Angeles, Silicon Valley, and beyond to consider adding an office location in Santa Barbara,” Mr. DeJohn said in a statement. Macy’s occupied the store from the time Paseo Nuevo was built in the early 1990s until 2017. Pacific Retail, which already owned most of the center, acquired the vacant building in 2018.

Continued from Page A1 positivity dropped to 3.3%. The county’s current adjusted case rate is 7.7 per 100,000, which securely places the county in the red tier of the state’s framework. Dr. Do-Reynoso called these statistics “good news,” but warned that further vigilance from the community is needed to keep infections down. “We definitely can celebrate experiencing these downward trends … but I really want to stress we have to stay vigilant collectively as a county so that we can continue to see a decline in case rates and other metrics,” Dr. Do-Reynoso said during the meeting. “Given that spring break is just around the corner, given that variants are circling around the state and our community, we need to stay vigilant and continue to practice our masking, our social distancing, as well as our gathering.” To qualify for the red tier, counties are required to stay under a case rate of 10 per 100,000, stay under 8% testing positivity in the entire county and remain under 8.1% testing positivity for the health equity quartile. To move tiers, counties must meet the criteria for three straight weeks. Therefore, to move into the next lowest tier, the orange tier, Santa Barbara County must sustain a case rate of 3.9 per 100,000, stay under 4.9% testing positivity in the entire county and under 5.3% testing positivity in the health equity quartile for three weeks. A quartile is a state classification of communities. The shift in tier system combined with expanded

LINDQUIST, Robert E. “Bob” February 5, 2021

Solvang, CA - Beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Bob Lindquist passed away on on 2/5/21, at the age of 90, after a decade long struggle with Parkinson’s Disease. Bob was born January 6, 1931 in St. Louis, MO to Earl N. Lindquist and Myrtle (Krenning) Lindquist. He was raised in St. Louis, and was an outstanding athlete, excelling in distance running. He won many championships and set records in the Mile and Cross Country at Cleveland High School in St. Louis. He was a lifelong St. Louis Cardinals fan. And as a 13 year old was able to attend the “all St. Louis” World Series between the Cardinals and St. Louis Browns, with all games played at St. Louis Sportsman’s Park. Bob earned a full ride Track scholarship to the University of Missouri in Columbia, MO. There he earned a degree in engineering and completed ROTC. He also met his future wife Sandra E. “Sonnie” Granger, who was attending nearby Stephens College. After college he went into the Army as a lieutenant and engineer for four years service. This lead to a position as a civil engineer with Douglas Aircraft, which became his career. After training in Santa Monica, CA, his first post with Douglas was working with the Army on the Nike missile program in Pirmasens, Germany from 1959 to 1962. This allowed Bob, Sonnie and their young family an opportunity for extensive travel through Europe. A brief stint in Saucelito, CA was followed by two years in Colorado Springs, CO. In 1964, Bob moved his family to Costa Mesa, CA to work in the Douglas (soon to be McDonnell Douglas) Aerospace division in Huntington Beach. There, he worked on the Delta and Saturn projects among many others. After retiring in 1993, Bob and Sonnie moved to Solvang, CA to be nearer to their children and grandchildren. Bob was a master bridge player, a member of the Solvang chapter of Vikings (a Swede among Danes!), and could often be seen walking his dog around Solvang wearing his red Cardinals jacket and hat! Bob was preceded in death by his twin brother Gilbert Lindquist and his younger sister Anita (Lindquist) Mulligan. He is survived by his wife Sonnie Lindquist, his children Bob, Lisa and Sara Lindquist, his grandchildren Ethan, Luke, Paige and Theo Lindquist, Meagan and Mary Connolly, and Andrea Navarro, and his greatgrandchildren Layla and Aubrey Lindquist.

AIR QUALITY KEY

After earning enough money in London to buy a ticket to board the Queen Elizabeth, Iris returned to America in 1954. After arriving in New York, Iris took a train across the country to Washington where Norma and her family helped her gain her citizenship. The day after arriving in Washington, Iris found work and began to build her life in America, mostly through the Catholic community. After settling, Iris continued to travel as a stewardess through Alaska Airlines, fulfilling her wishes of seeing new places and meeting new people.

Amazingly, Iris found time to pursue her own creative interests as well, and she was a spectacular poet. Iris gained recognition for her published poem, “The Two Shilling Piece.” She loved writing and penned many poems and short stories about her beloved relationships and hometown. Along with her writing, Iris also loved the excitement of acting. She frequently drove to Burbank and auditioned for any part she could get her hands on, landing herself a few roles as an extra. In her free time, Iris knitted countless blankets, hats and sweaters. Iris had quite an eye for design, and she hand-embroidered many intricate pillows, linens and stockings for her family and friends.

Iris established a strong connection with the Goleta community through her work. She first started working at the Juvenile Hall before moving to Robinsons May as an expert seamstress whose impeccable work was highly sought after in Santa Barbara. Iris continued to serve the Goleta community as a secretary at St. Raphael School, where her children attended. She then worked as a secretary at Delco for over ten years before retiring and focusing her service on her family as well as volunteering at numerous organizations in Santa Barbara and Goleta.

After joining the convent in 1949 at the young age of fifteen, Iris sailed on the Queen Mary to America. After over two years of service in the convent, she fell ill and spent weeks in the infirmary with rheumatic fever. Iris made the most of her life, even during her illness, and met a dear friend at the infirmary named Norma. Iris and Norma kept each other’s spirits up with humor and plans for the future. Iris reluctantly returned to Ireland in 1951 to recover from her illness. She then moved to England and worked at a spool factory.

In 1966, Iris moved to Goleta, California. She loved the sunshine and working outside in her amazing garden. One of her childhood aspirations was to surround herself with flowers, and she accomplished this dream splendidly by keeping her garden lush with endless flowers and beautiful plants.

Although life was difficult in her town of Templemore, Iris found a lifelong sense of positivity, happiness and strength in her upbringing.

vaccine allocation will lead to greater ease in restrictions in the weeks to come. According to the state, counties in the red tier will qualify for a limited reopening of live outdoor events April 1. These upcoming regulations will limit attendance to a maximum of 20% capacity for live outdoor events and require advanced reservations. In addition, the state will allow amusement/theme parks to reopen at 15% capacity for counties in the red tier as of April 1. Summer camps could also make a comeback this summer for counties that remain in the red, orange or yellow tiers. With a shift in tiers signaling fewer restrictions and more reopenings for the foreseeable future, health officials are urging the public to continue following guidelines to stay on track for a steady ease in restrictions. “Even though we are able to open up for more opportunities for entertainment and business and we are all glad about that, we have to be very very diligent in order to avoid something that is happening in Europe,” Dr. Henning Ansorg, the county public health officer, said during Tuesday’s meeting. “They are experiencing exponential growth again and they are approaching their third wave. The only way to not have that happen to us is … we need to wear our masks in public, we need to still social distance, and that is absolutely important for the coming weeks in order to prevent another surge.” The state also gave Ventura County the green light to move into the red tier on Tuesday.

Chickens roost in luxurious abode

Classy coop

Orcutt couple Bob and Jan Woolever have created the luxurious Kentucky Coop for their chickens.

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

ob Woolever admits he and his wife Jan spoil the mini flock of chickens in the backyard of their Orcutt home. “We feed them spaghetti, popcorn, biscuits, watermelon, pomegranates, corn on the cob. We also give them oyster shells and eggshells which we throw in the oven and then break into tiny pieces. Most chickens live to about 7 years, but we wouldn’t be surprised if they lived to be twice that age,” said Mr. Woolever. To say that Dixie, Butter Rum, Penny and Henrietta are spoiled is putting it mildly. Their luxurious coop, which is 12 feet tall, has a fancy chandelier, a spiral staircase and a wallpapered interior, along with a Dutch door and two windows. Shingles cover the seven angles on the pitched roof, and the slanted walls are 6 feet wide on the bottom and 8 feet wide on the top. “It’s called a Kentucky Coop,” said Mr. Woolever. On the roof is a copper weathervane in the shape of a rooster. “The coop cost about $15,000 and took a year to build,” Mr. Woolever told the News-Press during working hours at his business, Bob Woolever’s Tire Shoppe on South Fairview Avenue in Goleta. “I’m the third generation owner. My grandpa, Robert Harrison Archibald Woolever, started it in 1960, and then my father, who

has the same name, ran it,” said Mr. Woolever, who was born at St. Francis Hospital in 1963 and graduated from San Marcos High School in 1981. He and his wife, who will be married 29 years Oct. 24, were novices at raising chickens when the idea of building a coop came to Mr. Woolever at the start of the pandemic. “We weren’t able to travel, and we had just lost our two labs, Bonnie, 11, and Sonny, 15. I was interested in chickens and thought it would be a fun little hobby. I drew up a design on paper for our friend, Richard Gushwa of Buellton, to build,” Mr. Woolever said. “It turned out to be an amazing coop. It’s made of reclaimed redwood and pine. We bought the chandelier at a thrift store, and it lights at night. The wallpaper has a chicken theme, and the spiral staircase, which is outside, came from a friend who has a coop.” There are signs that say “Fresh Eggs” and “Chicken Crossing.” “We bought them at an antique store in Orcutt. My sister Kim Woolever made the one that says ‘Woolever Coop.’ It is also predator proof because there is a Cooper’s hawk lurking in a pine tree behind the house.” When the coop was finished, the couple bought what they thought were four hens and named them Henrietta, a Rhode Island Red; Dixie, a Plymouth Rock, and Butter Rum and Penny, two Easter Eggers. “But after a week, we discovered Please see COOP on B2

Bob and Jan Woolever have taken better living for chickens in a new direction.

SANTA MARIA — Santa Maria High School students and faculty will perform during the Saints Virtual Talent Show at 4 p.m. April 30 on Zoom. The submission period for two-to-three minute videos began this week and wraps up April 15. The videos can be uploaded at www.bit.ly/ talentsmhs, and the names/ student identification should be directed to mgoldin@ smjuhsd.org. Normally the show is held inside the school’s Ethel Pope Auditorium in front of a large audience, but it must be virtual this year because of COVID-19. The Zoom format permits students to still share their talents, and the event is organized by the school’s drama club students. “Many of our students have numerous talents and do not have the chance to showcase them,” said Glenn and Merrie Goldin, drama club advisers and teachers, in a news release. “Giving our students a place, even though it is now on Zoom, helps our Saints discover what they are good at, and supports them in working on what they need to develop.’’ The event will feature magicians, singers, dancers and more. “It’s important to be in clubs right now to feel a sense of involvement even when we’re not physically in school,’’ student Malory Ramirez said. Students Vanessa Zayes and Coline Cruz, the drama club treasurer, agreed. “The club is a place to express yourself, show your hidden talents and is where we can be ourselves.’’ Janeryi Antonio, a club member and the student body president, noted, “The club is a place where we can socialize with other friends and have fun.’’ — Dave Mason

Continued from Page B1 Henrietta was a rooster, and we decided not to change his name. Henrietta rules the roost. He mates 15 times a day,” said Mr. Woolever. “He also crows at 4 a.m., and our neighbor’s house is about 6 feet away. So Henrietta sleeps in a dog carrier in our garage. My wife lets him out about 8 a.m., and he walks through the house and then runs to the coop to be with his girls. It’s the funniest thing to watch the way he runs,” said Mr. Woolever, who received a special gift from his wife at Christmas. “It’s a harness with a leash so I can walk Henrietta.” When the chickens aren’t enjoying the comforts of their fancy abode, they are free to stroll around the backyard “destroying all our plants,” he said. email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

Library adds mobile branch The Santa Barbara Public Library is hitting the road this year with a new mobile library branch. The unit is made possible because of support from the Women’s Fund of Santa Barbara and Santa Barbara Public Library Foundation. The Women’s Fund provided a $100,000 grant. The mobile unit will deliver books and more to residents not able to visit the library’s Santa Barbara, Eastside Santa Barbara, Carpinteria or Montecito locations. The mobile branch will start visiting neighborhoods this summer, according to a news release. Library Director Jessica Cadiente said the vehicle meets a critical need. “We’ve been successful at taking some of our regular library programming out into

the community, and we have established a number of key community partners,” she said. “But we’ve been limited in what we can provide by lack of a dedicated vehicle designed for this purpose.” The mobile library will make a difference, Ms. Cadiente stressed. “A mobile van to store and transport the supplies and technology needed to offer everything from early literacy classes to resume review workshops, plus a browsing collection of popular books will allow us to reach more people more efficiently,” she said. “It will truly allow staff to recreate the experience of visiting the library outside of our buildings.” The Library on the Go Team will work with community partners and residents to determine weekly stops throughout the Santa Barbara

Public Library service area, including Santa Barbara, Montecito and Carpinteria. Beyond providing library materials to check out, trained staff will offer Stay and Play programming for children and caregivers, the library’s Works! program that helps people find jobs and one-to-one technology support for seniors learning how to use mobile devices. Lauren Trujillo, director of the Santa Barbara Public Library Foundation, said the nonprofit has been proud to support “the library’s extraordinary efforts to reach out to our community, even through the pandemic. A mobile library van will continue to be an important access point for services, especially for the most vulnerable members of our community.” — Dave Mason

ARIES — The healing of some childhood traumas could be triggered today, Aries, perhaps through contact with someone who knew you then. Don’t be surprised if you shed a few tears. This is a normal release. You could also suddenly laugh like crazy. Once this is all done, take your friend out for the evening and kick up your heels. That will help you lighten up and enable you to sleep. TAURUS — Some great news could come today, Taurus, perhaps from a love partner. It might concern your relationship or it might involve some sort of good fortune coming to either you or your beloved. This bit of luck could free both of you in some way to further advance the relationship somehow. Don’t panic and don’t overanalyze it. Follow your heart! GEMINI — Have you been working very hard to increase your income? If so, Gemini, results might finally manifest. More available income usually necessitates working even harder, but in your case, you might be able to relax for a while and thus rid yourself of all the stress and tension that’s been building up. Thank your lucky stars, and make plans for your free time. CANCER — Today, Cancer, you should feel especially attractive, romantic, and sexy. Any current or potential romantic partner you encounter will probably pay you lots of attention and want to make plans for the two of you to get together. This might be just what you need, as the last few days may have been difficult. Get out of the house and have a little fun. Everyone needs to do this now and then! LEO — Intuition could prove extremely valuable when it comes to dealing with a sticky situation, Leo. You know all the rules, you know all the proper methods for whatever you do, but today you could be driven to make decisions based on gut feelings rather than rules or logic. Think of it as a valuable new tool for understanding how to deal with people and make the most of it. VIRGO — Some gossip about a friend who has recently begun a new relationship could reach you today, Virgo. This might come as a surprise, as you’d never have expected it of this person. You will be glad, because you want your friend to be happy. Don’t be afraid to call andNovember ask to hear all Monday, 16,about 2015it. It will be a pleasure for both of you!

LIBRA — Minor changes in your money situation could make for a beautiful day, Libra. Perhaps you discover a bank error in your favor, get repaid for a loan, or receive a generous gift. Whichever it is, it’s likely to make it possible for you to make a purchase you’ve been thinking you had to postpone for a while. Enjoy your good fortune and make the most of it! SCORPIO — Today you might feel as though your mind is exploding, Scorpio. If you’ve been studying an intellectual or spiritual subject, insights could be coming thick and fast. Concepts that never made sense to you before suddenly seem clear. You will need to write them down, because even an elephant wouldn’t be able to remember this many ideas and revelations. Make the most of them! SAGITTARIUS — Emotions and memories that have been buried in your psyche could suddenly well up today, Sagittarius. At first you might not be able to make sense of this. These memories could seem irrelevant to your present life. Still, a little reflection might reveal why you’re recalling them now. Release whatever blockages these memories may have been causing. You could find your life changed in a subtle way. CAPRICORN — Today a friendship could develop into something more, Capricorn. Someone you know fairly well but never thought of as a potential lover could suddenly show a romantic interest in you and you could respond. Whether or not you choose to do anything about it depends on you. Circumstances and people change. Think twice before you dismiss this person. Don’t do it because they’re “just” a friend. AQUARIUS — A change in your working circumstances could make a positive difference to you, Aquarius. Perhaps you’ve moved to another desk, room, floor, or building. Whichever it is, you will be less stressed out. Being near difficult people or sitting near a window where you can see out can recharge your batteries and make you more productive. PISCES — Some intellectual knowledge that you gain today is apt to make a significant difference in whatever creative projects you’re working on, Pisces. A friend or partner could help in some way. A current enterprise may go in a new direction or you could start a new project. Whatever it is, expect to feel inspired. Don’t be surprised at the exceptional quality of your work!

SPORTS ROUNDUP Former Don to be inducted into Water Polo Hall of Fame By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Kami Craig, a Santa Barbara High graduate who is considered to be one of the greatest two-meter players in women’s water polo history, has been named for induction into the USA Water Polo Hall of Fame. Craig, 33, retired from the sport three years ago with two Olympic gold medals and a silver to her credit. She will be inducted at a time and location to be determined later. Also earning induction were Tony Azevedo, Merrill Moses, Ericka Lorenz, and Courtney Mathewson, her former teammate from the Olympic squads that won Olympic gold in London in 2012 and Rio de Janeiro in 2016. “I think about all the great opportunities that water polo has given me, and to have had the honor to win a gold medal at the 2012 Games and then come out again on top in Rio, I got to live my wildest dreams,” Craig said. Craig led Santa Barbara High to a CIF Division IV championship in 2003 and to the finals in 2004 before graduating in the spring of 2005. She continued on to win two NCAA Player of the Year Awards at USC. By the time she earned her degree in 2010, she’d already won a silver medal in Beijing as the youngest member of the 2008 Olympic team. “We were favored to win gold and won silver, then had seven players from ’08 come back for 2012 with this idea of, ‘OK, next time we’re going to do it our way,’” she said. “We wanted to get the job done. “There are hundreds of thousands of lessons to be learned by this journey and 13 years with the national team, but that one in particular stands out, just being completely prepared and having ownership of our team as athletes.” Carpinteria, Righetti games canceled

The first two COVID-19 casualties of Santa Barbara County’s high school football season were announced on Tuesday, with games involving both Carpinteria and Righetti being canceled because of positive tests for the coronavirus.

The Warriors were to open their season at home against Fillmore on Friday while Righetti was to travel to Arroyo Grande. Four other Santa Barbara-area games are still on tap, including the 61st annual Big Game between rivals Santa Barbara and San Marcos at the Royals’ Warkentin Stadium. Other Channel League contests on Friday will feature Cabrillo at Dos Pueblos and Santa Ynez at Lompoc. Bishop Diego will open its season at SBCC’s La Playa Stadium against Camino League rival St. Bonaventure. All games are set for 7 p.m., although attendance will be strictly limited.

Pirates water polo sweeps Atascadero

Chargers edge Dons in water polo, 9-6

Bishop Diego High’s boys and girls volleyball teams swept their opponents to open the season. The Cardinal boys got nine kills and a .727 hitting percentage from Conner Streett in a 25-12, 25-16, 25-16 victory over Ventura. Braylon Katers and Shea Romero added five kills apiece, with Romero serving eight eight aces. Bishop’s girls handed Cabrillo its first defeat in five matches with a 25-23, 25-23, 25-20 win. Alina Urzua had eight kills with a percentage of .455. Ashlyn Oxton-Madrigal had five kills in just eight swings. Cabrillo was coming off a pair of 3-1 wins over Santa Ynez. The Conquistadores edged the Pirates 13-25, 25-16, 27-25, 25-23 in the first match and 25-22, 16-25, 25-15, 25-21 in the nightcap. Micheala Baker and Lauren Swing had 10 kills and five blocks apiece while Giszelle Hrehor added eight kills and three blocks. Swing also had five aces, Halle Swanson added four, and Ginger Huddy led in digs with 10.

Dos Pueblos jumped out to a 6-3 halftime lead and held on for a 9-6 girls water polo victory at Santa Barbara. Sophie Johnson led the Dons with four goals and field blocks. The Chargers did not report their statistics. Santa Barbara’s boys and girls both defeated Westlake in Monday’s matches. The boys won 12-9 behind senior Jordan Hayes, who had two goals and two assists while earning four ejections. The girls pulled out an 8-5 victory, with senior Bella Obando and Allie Bartholomew both scoring twice. Royals sweep Cabrillo in water polo

San Marcos defeated Cabrillo in girls and boys water polo. Madi Haaland-Ford, Abbi Webber and Kylie Rameson scored three goals each while Elaia Hamilton had four goalie saves as well as two goals after moving into the field in the Royals’ 19-5 win over the Cabrillo girls. “She was pretty amazing on both ends of the field,” coach Chuckie Roth said. “As a coach, I could not be more proud of her. She works hard and always seeks advice, coaching, and opportunity. She brings a lot of energy and impacts everyone around her in a positive way.” Matthew Vannier and Jackson Hamilton scored four goals apiece for the San Marcos boys in their 20-10 win. Cabrillo’s Sage Brady led all scorers with 10 goals.

Santa Ynez wrapped up a short home season in water polo by winning both the boys and girls matches against Los Padres League foe Atascadero. Landon Lassahn scored five goals and Addison Hawkins added three as the Pirate boys triumphed 11-6. Santa Ynez (4-2) got eight saves and five steals from goalkeeper Tristan Linder. Taye Luke’s seven goals led the girls’ team to a 13-6 victory. Sydney Gills and Tabita Pearigen added two apiece. Goalie Peyton Pratt had 14 blocks, four assists and a steal. Bishop Diego wins volleyball openers

APU beats Westmont, 5-1

Westmont College was held to six hits — all singles — in a 5-1, non-league baseball defeat to Azusa Pacific at Russ Carr Field. The Warriors (14-11) scored their lone run in the fifth inning when Simon Reid singled home Brady Renck. The Cougars (72) struck out nine Westmont batters. email: mpatton@newspress.com

UCSB’s McLaughlin receives All-America honorable mention By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

JaQuori McLaughlin, described by his coach as UCSB’s most selfless basketball player, received one of the game’s highest honors on Tuesday. The senior guard became only the ninth Gaucho in school history to receive All-America recognition when the Associated Press named him to its honorable mention list. “He has unbelievable vision and he’s an unbelievable decision-maker,” UCSB coach Joe Pasternack said. “It’s amazing when your best player is your most unselfish player, it resonates around your entire team. “It’s the real reason that we’ve been successful on offense this year.” Tommy Guerrero became UCSB’s first NCAA All-American after leading the Gauchos to the NAIA Final Four in 1941. Brian Shaw received All-America honorable mention in both 1987 and 1988, while Carrick DeHart and Eric McArthur both received the honor in 1990. Others to receive All-America honorable mention were Lucius Davis in 1992, Alex Harris, in 2008, Orlando Johnson in both 2010 and 2011, and Alan Williams in 2014. McLaughlin has led the Gauchos (224) to only their sixth NCAA Division 1 Tournament berth. They received a No. 12 seed and will play 19th-ranked Creighton (20-8), a No. 5 seed, on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. PDT on the Unity Court at Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Arena. The 6-foot-4 playmaker was named Big West Conference Player of the Year and won MVP honors at the league tournament after guiding UCSB to only its fourth tournament title in school history. “He’s the best player in our league, the player of the year, and he’s just gotten so much better,” Pasternack said. “I think he’s an NBA player. On the biggest stage, with the highest stakes, he came through.” McLaughlin’s acceptance of the

player of the year award typified his approach as a team co-captain. “You’ve got to give a lot of credit to my teammates and coaches for believing in me and supporting me the whole year,” he said. “I would never be able to do it without them. It’s really a team award for us.” McLaughlin ranked among the Big West leaders in both scoring (16.2 points per game) and assists (5.2). His shooting percentages of 48.9% overall, 40.4% from the three-point line, and 84.2% from the free-throw line also ranked high in the league. His assist average ranks 42nd in the NCAA while his assist-toturnover ratio (129-to-49) is 25th-best nationally. UCSB also ranks among the top teams in the country for assists-to-field goals scored. “It’s the real reason that we’ve been successful on offense this year, and that’s all because our best player is so unselfish,” Pasternack said. “Everybody becomes unselfish because of him.” McLaughlin has been an iron man for the Gauchos, averaging 32 minutes per game. He played 39 of Saturday’s 40-minute game against UC Irvine and still scored 16 of his 22 points in the second half, making 5-of-7 shots including 3-of-4 from three-point range. “It’s the conditioning work and just putting in extra work hourly,” he said. “I don’t get tired. It’s just being prepared to play the whole game.” Pasternack said McLaughlin fit his profile of the ideal transfer when he left Oregon State to come to UCSB as a sophomore in the 2018-19 season. “First of all, they are somebody with a chip on their shoulder — they didn’t get the opportunity that maybe they wanted somewhere else,” he said. “They have to love the game and be self-motivated. “They’re trying to be a pro, because then they’re self-motivated to just get better and better. JaQuori McLaughlin is a great example of that.”
