President Biden advocates for gun legislation Colorado mass shooting puts spotlight on assault weapons By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

President Joe Biden is advocating for the Senate to pass two background-check bills after 10 people, including a police officer, were killed in a mass shooting Monday in Boulder, Colorado. Prior to the shooting at King Soopers grocery store and the series of murders earlier this month in Atlanta, the House of Representatives passed House Resolution

8 and House Resolution 1446 on March 11. H.R. 8, known as the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2021, would make the private sales of guns illegal without a licensed dealer to run background checks. H.R. 1446, the Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2021, closes the “Charleston Loophole,” which allows the sale of guns after three business days even without a completed background check. The loophole infamously allowed

Dylann Roof, who would not have passed a background check, to purchase a gun. Days later, he murdered nine black churchgoers in South Carolina in 2015. H.R. 1446 first passed in the house in 2019 but didn’t make it to the Senate floor. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-New York, vowed to bring both bills to the Senate but did not give a timeline when asked by CNN Tuesday. U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, voted in favor of both bills.

“You should be able go to work, school, or the grocery store without living in fear of gun violence. I’ve voted to expand background checks, close loopholes, & introduced a bill to temporarily disarm individuals in crisis. If we enact these laws, we can save lives,” Rep. Carbajal tweeted Tuesday. Monday’s tragedy occurred 10 days after a Colorado judge lifted an assault weapons ban in Boulder. The suspect purchased a Ruger AR-556

March 16, according to national reports. The gun is legally classified as a pistol (because its barrel is less than 16 inches) but shares many features of AR-15 rifles. The gun was prohibited in the now-void ban by the city of Boulder, according to a Denver Post report. The gun is illegal in California as part of the state’s assault weapons ban. Police did not specify the gun used in Monday’s shooting. Please see guns on B4

Instrumental Music to close State Street landmark shuts its doors to locals and music makers

A virtual Passover Congregation B’nai B’rith to hold second Zoom Passover seder

By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

By ANNELISE HANSHAW

After 25 years in business, Instrumental Music in Santa Barbara is taking its final bow and moving forward with plans to shut its doors in April. With guitars and ukuleles lining the walls, the store stood as a State Street landmark through the years and struck a chord with locals both literally and figuratively. Despite the company’s loyal customer base, the rise in operational costs, a consumer surge in online shopping and the COVID-19 pandemic are all factors in the location’s closure, Bryan McCann, the company’s owner and founder, told the NewsPress Tuesday. “It’s a regret to leave, but since our founding in 1979, we have made a lot of adjustments to changes in the marketplace … The best way forward for us to maintain Instrumental Music is to consolidate the locations and focus on providing a more significant experience for the guitar buyer at our Thousand Oaks location,” Mr. McCann said. The closure on State Street comes just a year after the company shut down its Ventura location in January 2020. With just one store remaining, Instrumental Music will now showcase all of its inventory at the Thousand Oaks location with plans to expand the company’s online presence in the coming months. For Dominic Pino, a member of the music shop’s senior sales staff, closing the doors feels like a heavy loss. Even before joining the Instrumental Music staff nearly a decade ago, Mr. Pino can remember hanging out at the shop as a teenager and meeting the members of his first band. “For me, I just kind of feel bad for the musicians in Santa Barbara County just because this is like one of the last real, visceral, physical music shops where you can come in and sit down and play some guitars and potentially meet other musicians,” Mr. Pino told the News-Press at the State Street store. “I mean, how I found my first band (was) by coming into a music shop and sitting and just

Congregation B’nai B’rith is celebrating Passover virtually for the second consecutive year. The Santa Barbara synagogue will celebrate Passover, which begins at sundown Saturday, through April 3. Other Jewish congregations will observe Passover through April 4. “The experience of Zooming to Passover again is really making us fully aware that we have been in this pandemic for a full year,” Rabbi Stephen Cohen told the News-Press Tuesday. Passover, as described in the Torah, celebrates the Israelites’ freedom from slavery under ancient Egypt and the 10th plague on Egypt “passing over” the houses of the Israelites.

meeting some kids.” As a full-time staff member at the Thousand Oaks location, Mr. Pino won’t lose his job, but instead, he is saddened over the loss of opportunity for aspiring musicians in Santa Barbara. “You can be a nobody on the street, but when you come into a music store, you’re a musician, and all of a sudden, you’re somebody,” Mr. Pino said. “That type of thing is really hard to get in an online experience. So for me, I feel kind of a sense of loss for the people and the musicians in Santa Barbara because there’s a certain experience that comes with being able to come into a music shop and play and talk and really be around like-minded people.” Since announcing the decision to close the State Street store, both Mr. McCann and Mr. Pino received many messages and farewells from loyal customers. “We’ve had a tremendous Please see music on A4

Santa Barbara City Council members voted unanimously Tuesday to move the Westside Community Paseos Project forward, determining that bikefriendly street diverters are required for functional safety. This decision came after a lengthy discussion where the council heard why the Historic Landmarks Commission denied the project and why public works wanted it to move forward anyway. The project is intended to connect the Westside to downtown and the Eastside.

County reports 24 new cases of COVID-19

— Madison Hirneisen

Correction Westmont College’s Lauren Tsuneishi scoops a loose basketball in a photo that appeared with Tuesday’s sports roundup story. She was inadvertently misidentified in the caption.

The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department reported 24 new COVID-19 cases and no deaths Tuesday, bringing the countywide total to 32,895 cases over the course of the pandemic. Santa Maria reported the highest total of new infections Tuesday with a total of eight new cases. Lompoc had the second-highest case count with a total of four. The cities of Santa Barbara, Goleta, Isla Vista, Orcutt and the North County unincorporated areas all reported fewer than four cases Tuesday. All other areas, including the Santa Ynez Valley, Montecito, Summerland, Carpinteria and the Gaviota Coast reported no new infections. Some 168 cases remain active throughout the county. A total of 40 residents are receiving treatment at local hospitals, including 13 in the Intensive Care Unit. The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office reported that another deputy tested positive for COVID-19, bringing the precinct’s active case count to two. In the Main Jail, there are currently no active COVID-19 cases. As the U.S. vaccine rollout is an ongoing priority in the federal government, officials have been eyeing the AstraZeneca vaccine as a possible option for dissemination. However, just hours after the organization announced encouraging results about its recent vaccine trial in the U.S., a group of medical experts questioned the validity of AstraZeneca’s data. The group sent a letter to AstraZeneca Monday, essentially accusing the company of highlighting certain pieces of data to make the vaccine look better. “Decisions like this are what erode public trust in the scientific process,” the board wrote in the letter. The brunt of the controversy surrounds discrepancies in the vaccine’s reported effectiveness. AstraZeneca reported that the vaccine is 79% effective against COVID-19, but the group of medical experts reported that the actual protection may be between 69 and 74 percent. This controversy threatens to push back the rollout of the AstraZeneca vaccine for dissemination in the U.S., though the pharmaceutical company said the trial results are not final and they plan to analyze the data before submitting results to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the coming weeks. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

Congregant B’nai B’rith in Santa Barbara is holding its Passover celebration virtually for the second year in a row.

‘The community is engaging at extremely high levels’ passover

Continued from Page A1

“Passover was a time of sheltering from the angel of death, so the story of Passover echoes the feelings of the pandemic,” Rabbi Cohen said. While the pandemic impedes on the synagogue’s ability to hold large gatherings, the sentiment of this year gives insight into the feelings of the ancient Israelites. “We are seeing a light at the end of the tunnel, and Passover is a celebration of new beginnings and liberation and leaving slavery,” Rabbi Cohen said. “With the vaccines, we can see we’re on our way to freedom.” Clergy members planned a fully virtual program for Passover with its most prominent event, a ceremonial meal and service on the first night called a seder, held via Zoom. The congregation added small seder gatherings when the county reached the red tier last week, such as a service at senior living facility Maravilla for congregants who may not be accustomed to video-conferencing software. Traditionally, Jewish families hold seder dinners in their homes and invite friends and family, and B’nai B’rith holds a large seder at the synagogue for those who’d prefer to celebrate as a large group. A couple hundred congregants attend. This year, families can join a Zoom meeting where Rabbi Cohen will lead the ritual. There’s also a children-oriented seder where Assistant Rabbi Daniel Brenner explains the Passover tradition in a way kids can understand. “Passover is a holiday that

is all about engaging children. The Talmud, being the major component of Jewish law, really goes into detail about children being part of the seder,” Rabbi Brenner said. “The seder is the telling of a story about how a group became a people,” he said. “It is really important for us that our children become a part of that story.” He called the seder “the great common denominator of the Jewish faith” because it is the synagogue’s most-observed holiday. Part of Passover is a switch to unleavened bread called matzah, which doesn’t use rising agents like yeast. Some strict observers throw out everything from pasta to corn as well. B’nai B’rith caters meals, which families had an opportunity to order, for those who struggle to cook their own Passover meal. It also provides free matzah. (Call to ensure there’s matzah available before pickup.) “We’re really trying to offer as much as we can under fairly challenging circumstances,” Rabbi Cohen said. Last year, staff members quickly pivoted online for Passover, so this year is less daunting. “We’ve been using almost exclusively Zoom, and the community is engaging at extremely high levels. It’s really been wonderful,” Rabbi Brenner said. Over the past year, B’nai B’rith has celebrated all holidays online and held its weekly services via Zoom.

SANTA BARBARA — U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, will serve as co-chair of the Congressional Offshore Wind Caucus. The bipartisan group consists of lawmakers who want to improve offshore wind technology, invest in the wind workforce and make the U.S. a global leader in clean energy. Rep. Carbajal will lead the commission alongside Rep. Elaine Luria, D-Virginia; Rep. Jeff Van Drew, D-New Jersey; and Rep. Jimmy Panetta, D-Santa Cruz. Rep. Luria formally created the caucus this month to find solutions for challenges in the offshore wind industry, lobby for workforce development and pave the way for environmental improvement. “My district on the Central Coast is no stranger to the devastating impacts of climate change,” Rep. Carbajal said in a statement. “Through pragmatic policies and strategic investment, we can harness the power of offshore wind to combat climate change and grow our economy at the same time.” In a statement, Rep. Luria said she is proud to lead the caucus and present “commonground policies” that will make the U.S. a leader in the offshore wind industry. “Now more than ever, it is vital to make robust investments in clean and renewable sources of energy,” Rep. Luria said in a statement. “In addition to helping us avoid some of the most severe impacts of climate change, expanding offshore wind energy would create long-term opportunities for countless Americans.” Rep. Carbajal has been a long-time advocate of offshore wind production throughout his time in Congress. In August 2019, he created the Offshore Wind Working Group to advance offshore wind opportunities on the Central Coast.

Pandemic can’t keep Kerman from thriving with Westmont volleyball By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Patty Kerman has been forced to reboot her volleyball career several times during her four years at Westmont College. She missed the 2018 season after undergoing major knee surgery and then had the start of her 2020 season delayed five months by the coronavirus. COVID issues forced the Warriors’ January’s restart into another hiatus of three weeks. But nobody will be more ready than Kerman for Thursday’s restart against Hope International. The fourth-ranked Warriors (70, 4-0 Golden State Athletic Conference) will play host to the Royals in a doubleheader that starts at noon. “Her grit, perseverance, being coachable, positivity, mental fortitude, and talent are second to none,” Westmont coach Ruth McGolpin said. That makeup has also led the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table into honoring Kerman this month as its Scholar-Athlete of the Year for Westmont College. She’s tops on the team in not only attack percentage (.352) and kills per set (3.2), but also in grade-point average (3.92). “Patty is one of those special athletes,” McGolpin said. “When she came into Westmont, she had that fervor for constantly learning. She was a great listener.” Kerman, a senior majoring in economics and business communications, won the Golden Eagle Award as the college’s top Scholar-Athlete in the 2019-2020 school year. She won plenty the previous year, as well: Westmont’s Presidential Scholar Award, NAIA Scholar-Athlete honors, and a GSAC women’s volleyball championship. She helped lead the Warriors to a 31-8 season in which they advanced all the way to the NAIA finals. “Who would’ve thought that the kid who tore her ACL would be playing in the national championship game a year later?” Kerman said. “Not me.” But McGolpin learned that season that Kerman can arise to a challenge. Her 10 kills with no hitting errors helped the Warriors

Patty Kerman, Westmont College’s ScholarAthlete of the Year, is also the leading hitter on the Warriors’ fourthranked women’s volleyball team.

earn a 3-0 sweep of Menlo in the 2019 GSAC final. She also led Westmont with 12 kills and just one error, hitting .475, in a defeat to Marian, Ind. in the NAIA finals. “In the big moments last season, she really blossomed as a player,” McGolpin said. “We won the GSAC championship, and she had the most incredible match there. “Our team was unranked at the time, and when we went to Sioux City, we came out at No. 2 in the nation, and Patty had one of the best matches of her life against Marian University.” Kerman, a 5-10 opposite hitter, was Westmont’s leading hitter through the first few weeks of this season. She earned GSAC Player of the Week honors in victories over Vanguard on Feb. 16 and 18. When McGolpin watched the game videos, she was struck by how many times the announcer called Kerman’s name. “Patty was pretty much unstoppable,” McGolpin said. “Patty was hitting line, hitting deep corners, and hitting the seam. And she did it both days. “Her confidence has just continued to grow since nationals last year.” Kerman said Westmont has provided a nurturing environment for her both as a student and an athlete. “My dad always reminds me of this, and it’s true: Westmont is a truly special place to be,” she said. “I’ll let you in on a little secret as to what makes this team in particular so special to me,” she continued. “It’s not just because we’re a top group of girls. It’s also because of the great amount of love we share for the sport and for each other. “This team is like a second family to me. I thank God every day for how lucky I am to have these girls in my life.” The feeling is mutual, McGolpin said. “She brings such a light to the practices,” she said. “She’s amazing on the memes. Her teammates just absolutely adore her. “She has captain-like traits. She’s just one of those special players.” email: mpatton@newspress.com

SPORTS ROUNDUP

Warriors get their guards up to win NAIA National Championship By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

The Little Women of Westmont stood tall on Tuesday in Sioux City, Iowa. The guard line of Stefanie Berberabe, Iryee Jarrett and Lauren Tsuneishi combined for 60 points to lead the Warriors to a 72-61 victory over Thomas More, Ky. in the championship game of the NAIA Women’s Basketball Tournament. “They don’t pass the eye test,” Westmont coach Kirsten Moore said. “You look at them and think, ‘Are they 5-feet? Or 5-2?’ Maybe 5-2 is a little generous, right? “But they have this relentless spirit. They obviously have incredible talent, and they’ve worked hard on their skills. But I think the biggest thing that I’m proud of them for is just the heart that they play with. They just never give up, and they just continue to attack and go for it. They were just phenomenal.” The Warriors (15-1) finish with 15 consecutive victories in a season that was stopped and restarted several times by the COVID-19 pandemic. Thomas More University (29-2), the top-seeded team in the tournament, played twice as many games as Westmont. “Honestly, I’m so happy for these young women because of how hard they’ve worked to get to this point,” Moore said. “Just day-in and day-out, they’ve been willing to do the little things — whatever was in their control. And there were a lot of times when a lot of things were out of their control. “Whatever it was at that moment that was in their control to do, we just made a commitment to do that whether that was sandbag workouts in the backyard or the basement, or when there were no tracks open and they were running with masks on asphalt up and down the street all summer. “These girls just continued to put in the work so that if we had the opportunity to be ready, we’d be able to at our best, and I think that’s what you saw throughout this whole tournament.” The Saints made 7-of-9 shots including four three-pointers to jump out to a 17-8 lead. Berberabe, who followed up Monday’s 26-point performance in the semifinals with 23 points on Tuesday, kept Westmont in the game by scoring 10 points in the first eight minutes. She won tournament MVP honors while Jarrett, who also scored 23 on Tuesday, joined her on the all-tournament first team. Moore did have to call a timeout when the deficit reached 15-8. “I said, ‘All right, we need to regroup, we

need to focus on our defense, focus on our rebounding,’ and they did that,” she said. “From that timeout I took at basically the fiveminute mark, the second five minutes we were able to get to within one possession by the end of the quarter.” Tsuneishi started the comeback with a three-pointer. She made four threes in the game, as did Jarrett, to finish with 14 points and make the all-tournament second team. Berberabe got Westmont even at 19-all by scoring off a steal. Gabriella Stoll tied it again at 22-all with a three, and then Jarrett gave them the lead for good with another long bomb. The back-to-back threes triggered a 12-0 run that put the Warriors ahead for good. “Their ability to respond and get together and not get flustered, I think that’s the sign of a veteran team,” Moore said. “It was also the great leadership that I think we’ve had from Lauren Tsuneishi, primarily, as the four-year senior on our team.” The Warriors led 34-28 by halftime and 4641 by the end of the third period. Although they shot just 41.5% overall, they made 11-of30 threes and outrebounded the Saints 42-36. Kaitlin Larson led Westmont with 13 rebounds while also getting four assists to share the team lead with Berberabe and Jarrett. “It was different people at different times stepping up,” Moore said. “I’m so proud of them for just the relentless attack that they showed … Just like a fearless approach to the opportunity that was before them.” The national championship was Westmont’s second. The first one came in 2013, less than a year after the unexpected death of Moore’s husband, Alex, and barely months after the birth of their daughter, Alexis. It was difficult for Moore to compare the two titles. “To be honest, the first time around, there were so many other emotions involved with it that it was really hard to grasp what was happening to enjoy the basketball aspect of it,” she said. “I just felt like there were bigger spiritual things happening that week with my team and with everything after having lost my husband. “So for this year to be really able to focus on the basketball and with the emotions that come with actually winning a basketball game was pretty enjoyable — including tonight, rising to the occasion time and time again when we were challenged.” She will be celebrating her birthday today in the oddest of fashions. “I’m going to be sleeping on an airplane,” Moore said. “I don’t even know how long it’s been since I’ve slept. I didn’t sleep for a minute

‘The idea is to consolidate in Thousand Oaks and come back stronger’

Dominic Pino, a member of the senior sales staff, said he is saddened to see the Santa Barbara location close down. “For me, I just kind of feel bad for the musicians in Santa Barbara County just because this is like one of the last real, visceral, physical music shops where you can come in and sit down and play some guitars and potentially meet other musicians.”

He is hopeful, though, they will make the trek to Thousand Oaks to still visit Instrumental Music in person. “It’s not like Instrumental Music is going away by any means,” Mr. Pino said. “I mean, the idea is to consolidate in Thousand Oaks and come back stronger than ever before. But taking that physical presence away from the Santa Barbara community does have its implications, especially for younger musicians.” Instrumental Music plans to close to the public April 3, but will reopen for a blowout

In addition to guitars and ukuleles, Instrumental Music has keyboards for sale leading up to the store’s closure in February.

SB City Council approves distribution of Community Block Grant funds for 48 proposals council

Continued from Page A1 concerns of diverting or disrupting traffic, aesthetics, blocking the views of the mountains, functionally disrupting the street grid in the area and more. However, the council, which already decided on putting the bike lane on Sola Street as part of the previously approved Bicycle Master Plan, voted to move it forward, and called to improve the design review process for citysponsored projects. “If we don’t have this project today going forward, we lose the ability to connect these neighborhoods, that are underserved neighborhoods, to downtown,” Council member Eric Friedman said. “We will have the ability for pretty much everyone in town, or close to it, to safely bike all the way to the beach, and that’s a project that’s taken over 40 years.” Council member Mike Jordan referred to the HLC’s denial of the project as “historical elitism,” saying that he didn’t find any of

the concerns the commission did with the project. He added that denying it was almost like saying, “We want to do something safely for bicyclists and pedestrians, but not through this neighborhood, not through an old neighborhood.” “A diverter’s function is to disrupt traffic and to disrupt it in a manner that makes it safe for you and me to either ride our bicycles on that street and use a crosswalk,” he said. “If HLC can somehow get to what’s on the street and the direction it’s going as part of some ‘historical function of the fabric and the movement of the city,’ then certainly, we can get to the safety of our children … and us old people … as being part of the beauty of the city also.” Council member Kristen Sneddon said that she felt like she had no choice but to uphold the appeal, but that she is “really bothered by how often in the last four to five months, we have circumvented HLC and passed them over entirely.” “There’s just a sense of inclination of really putting HLC in a diminished capacity, and not just that, but almost vilifying their

role. There’s terminology about how they feel or their negativity (that’s) really personalizing the role of HLC and I’m not appreciating that,” she said. “We have to change the process when it comes to projects that are for community benefit. “We can’t keep doing this, where we force the HLC into a last-minute denial and then (it comes) to the council. We’re not experts in design, landscape and materials … I don’t feel we should be the ones making this decision … I’m pretty upset the process has led us here.” However, for what council members referred to as a compromise, city staff will retain a landscape architect and as many as two HLC members to work with staff to provide recommendations on landscape and materials. In addition, the council directed staff to develop a process in which city-sponsored projects are connected to the design review board earlier in the application process. “I think there’s a difference between, ‘We want to comply with what HLC is telling us to do,’ versus, ‘We want to invite HLC to

share their vision with us to make this the most beautiful project it can be,’” Ms. Sneddon said. “When we skip over HLC, we don’t have as good of a project as we could have.” In other business, the council members unanimously approved city staff’s recommendations for the distribution of Community Development Block Grant funds for 48 proposals. Out of more than $1.7 million, more than $860,000 will go toward public and human services, more than $645,000 will go to capital and nearly $240,000 will go toward grant administration and fair housing. “This is always such a feelgood presentation,” Ms. Sneddon said. “The only difficulty that I see is that there’s never enough funding for all of the worthy applicants, and in this particularly difficult year, it’s hard to make these decisions, so I really honor the work of the committee.” The council also held a public hearing to hear any protests to the 2021 downtown and Old Town business improvement districts assessments, but there “weren’t enough to negate the assessments

going forward,” Mayor Murillo said, so the council unanimously voted to renew them. The revenues from the assessments are projected to generate approximately $170,000 to fund marketing and promotional activities for downtown businesses. “The efforts of the downtown organizations this year have

After a long struggle with Alzheimer’s Disease, Susan Lucas passed peacefully on the morning of March 21, 2021. Mary Susan Lucas was born on September 13, 1951 at Seaside Hospital in Long Beach, California. She grew up in Downey, California, the oldest of 4 children of James and Dorothy Ricketts. She attended Rancho Santa Gertrudes Elementary School, East Junior High School and Downey High School. Lifetime friends were made in Blue Birds and Camp Fire Girls. Growing up, Sundays were spent with the family at the Methodist Church in the morning, with paternal grandparents at their beach house in Alamitos Bay in the afternoon, and at “supper” with her maternal grandparents in Long Beach. Susan was a full-blown Beatlemaniac, and got to see the Beatles twice at the Hollywood Bowl, the second time from front row seats! She met her future husband, Gene Lucas, in the 8th grade, invited him to a Johnny Mathis concert the following summer, and despite an on-and-off start, they were a steady couple by the 11th grade. Susan attended Cerritos Junior College, getting her AA in English with a Spanish minor before joining Gene at UC Santa Barbara. They married in 1972 before their senior year, and she graduated with a BA in English. They then moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts for Gene’s graduate studies at MIT. While Gene attended grad school, Susan worked rst as a receptionist/secretary for a soils engineering rm, then as a secretary in the MIT Provost’s ofce, then as an administrative ofcer for a team of biologists working on recombinant DNA at MIT. She bore their rst son during their last year at MIT. They returned to Santa Barbara after Gene graduated from MIT with his doctorate, and moved back to Santa Barbara in 1978 for Gene to begin his career as an assistant professor at UC Santa Barbara. They had two more boys in their rst 4 years in Santa Barbara, and while Gene pursued his academic career Susan raised the three boys. But this mom also served as a Den Leader for each of the three boys in Cub Scouts, co-president of the PTA at Kellogg elementary school, secretarial gigs to two different lawyers, and secretary and ofce manager for Cambridge Drive Community Church, which they joined in 1982. She also mothered Luca, a foreign exchange student from Italy, in his senior year at the boys’ high school. In his last 11 years at UC Santa Barbara, Gene had become the Executive Vice Chancellor for the campus, raising Susan to the status of UCSB’s Second Lady. Throughout her life, Susan was an organizer and a planner. She had a big, beautiful smile and an even bigger heart. She maintained correspondence with many, many friends and all the relatives. She loved music (especially the Beatles), family, dancing, camping, hiking, parties, walking, sewing, scrap booking, photos, traveling, sea glass, heart-shaped rocks, chocolate and cheese. A tragic fall a year after Gene’s retirement led to a traumatic brain injury, from which she did not fully recover before dementia set in. She spent the last years of her life in Gene’s care and then as a resident of the memory care facility at Villa Alamar. Susan is preceded in death by her father and mother, her brother-in-law Steve Rietfors, and her nephew Jordan Smith. She is survived by her husband, her three sons, Kelly, Ryan and Shannon Lucas and their families, her sisters Patti Rietfors and Carolyn Smith, her brother Randy Ricketts and their families and her grandchildren Kier, Camden, Ashlan, and Ezra. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. A memorial service will be announced when large congregant gatherings are safe again. Donations to the Alzheimer’s Association in her memory would be greatly appreciated.

WOOLLUM, Joshua James On Sunday, March 14, 2021, Joshua James Woollum passed away unexpectedly. Josh was born on February 4, 1978 in Santa Barbara, CA, and was a lifelong resident. Josh is survived by his parents, Stella and James David Woollum. He also leaves behind a brother, Matthew David Woollum, and a nephew, Noah David Woollum. Josh was preceded in death by his grandparents, Frank and Irene Tacadena, and David and Naomia Woollum, and many other family members with whom he is reunited with in Heaven. Josh loved kayaking for hours out at Goleta Beach, motorcycle rides and bicycling. He loved participating in the Fiesta Bicycle Cruise, anything with wheels. Josh attended Foothill Elementary, La Colina Jr. High and San Marcos High School. He had a number of lifelong friends that remember him as always willing to lend a helping hand and they were honored to be his friend as Josh kept mostly to himself and let only a few friends in. Josh was amazing at so many things, especially his plumbing trade. He worked for Woollum Plumbing for 25 years. A Funeral Mass at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church will take place Wednesday, March 31st, 2021 at 10am followed by a graveside service at Calvary Cemetery. Due to COVID, Celebration of Life has been postponed. Josh will be missed, but never forgotten.

HEALEY, Genevieve Marie 1942 - 2021

Genevieve Marie Healey, our much-loved mother and grandmother, passed away peacefully in her home on March 12, 2021, surrounded by her family. She was a ghter and survived pancreatic cancer for over four years. Genevieve was born on February 1, 1942 to the late Henry and Genevieve Crawford in Greenwich, Connecticut and was one of six children. She attended St. Mary’s High School and Albertus Magnus College. She married her high school sweetheart, William P. Healey, and they moved across the country and found success in California, eventually settling in Santa Barbara in the early 1980s. Genevieve went on to get her nursing degree, just like her mother and sister Barbara Gallo. She also loved volunteering for the local community and particularly enjoyed volunteering at Lotusland. Genevieve was a devoted mother and her greatest joy in life were her children, grandchildren and great-grandchild. She was the family rock, hosting beautiful gatherings for every holiday and important occasion. She also made sure the family kept in close contact with relatives from the east coast, coordinating frequent trips to see grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Genevieve was a devout Catholic and attended mass at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel nearly every day. She was grateful that she was able to see the Pope John Paul II in Rome and while he visited Los Angeles and had quite the collection of beautiful rosary beads that were blessed by him. Genevieve is survived by four children, Christine Looper, Linda Goodwin, Michael Healey and his wife Laura, and Carolyn Healey. Her eleven grandchildren were the light of her life: Jennifer Hirsch, Taylor Starling and Owen Stagnaro; Cody, Brooke, Skyler, Chad and Riley Goodwin; and Alexis and Jake Healey. A church service will be held on March 29, 2021 at 10:00am at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church. Cemetery service will be private. In lieu of owers, the family asked that donations be made to Catholic Charities of Santa Barbara.

‘Impossible Objects’ Puzzling prints on view at architectural foundation gallery By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

nown in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara as a skilled scenic artist, Ed Lister created the series of vibrant, abstract silk screen prints or serigraphs that are on view through May 6 at the Architectural Foundation of Santa Barbara Gallery. Titled “Impossible Objects: Screen Prints by Ed Lister,” the exhibition was curated by Bay Hallowell, who describes the artwork as “post-pop and pre-digital,” according to Mr. Lister. “They are improbable, mind-bending objects that cannot exist other than on a flat surface. They play with our contemporary sensibilities and logical brains in their

resemblances to imaginative digital images,” said the artist by phone from his Santa Ynez home. “Of all the printing techniques, I most relish executing screened images with areas of pure color put down in a clean and direct manner.” What is surprising about the 15 prints on display is that they were created 50 years ago when Mr. Lister, who was born in London, was teaching printmaking and figure drawing at the Chelsea College of Art & Design in London. “I taught there for 12 years, and during four of the summer recesses, I worked in the United States,” the artist told the NewsPress. “The first time was in 1960 at the original Hotel Californian on lower State Street in Santa Barbara. “I had met a guy at a party in London who Please see LISTER on B2

1929 in Santa Barbara. “It took nine months in the basement of the courthouse to produce the four panels explaining the history of timekeeping from 2500 B.C. to the 20th century,” said Mr. Lister. Although he loved working on such a large scale, he was forced to find another way to make a living when “the bottom dropped out of scenic work because of computers, and I’m not at all computer savvy.” Since moving to Santa Barbara in 1995 and Santa Ynez in 2013 with his wife Karin Lister, the father of two grown sons and grandfather of three has been painting landscapes and seascapes on a smaller scale that range in price from $5,500 to $12,000. “It was during the moves that I discovered the silk screen prints, and they were still in perfect condition after 50 years,” he said. “Everything was hand drawn with a pen.”

Later, I worked at the Biltmore in Montecito and at NBC studios in Burbank and New York City.” In 1976, Mr. Lister made a permanent move to Los Angeles, where he worked for 10 years as the lead scenic artist for the Center Theatre Group at the Mark Taper Forum and Ahmanson Theaters. “I painted backdrops and installations for TV, movies and destination resorts, hotels and casinos. The largest was a 400foot round background for a Japanese cigarette commercial,” said Mr. Lister.

PET of the WEEK Cloud

Cloud has come all the way from El Paso to find his dream home. The Labrador retriever mix was part of the group that came from the Texan city and arrived recently at Santa Barbara County Animal Services in Goleta. Cloud, who’s 1-year-old, weighs 83 pounds and is neutered, is very sociable with people. And he loves to play with other dogs. Cloud is also deaf, so he needs a home with a person or family who will help him with his special needs. The dog’s adoption is being promoted by K-9 Placement and Assistance League Inc. K-9 PALS. For adoption inquiries, call Animal Services at 805-681-5285. The Animal Services’ shelter is at 5473 Overpass Road in Goleta. To view more dogs for adoption, go to www.K-9pals.org. K-9 PALS is an all-volunteer, nonprofit dedicated to providing humane care, homes and advocacy for homeless and abandoned dogs in Santa Barbara County. K-9 PALS provides life-saving veterinary care, behavior training, daily supplies and comforts for the dogs of the Animal Services shelters and behavior training for

adopted dogs. To donate to K-9 PALS, go to www.k-9pals.org, or contact the nonprofit at 805-570-0415 or info@k-9pals.org. Donations can

also be mailed to K-9 PALS, P.O. Box 60755 Santa Barbara 931600755. — Dave Mason

ARIES — A relationship with a close partner may get a bit confused, Aries. You could react quickly to a situation without really thinking before speaking. There may be some confusion in your mind about whether to stay silent or take a more aggressive route and blurt out everything you feel. It’s important that you find an equal balance of both. TAURUS — You may run into a great deal of opposition from just about every quarter, Taurus. The most frustrating part about this is that even the people you turn to for help will transform the situation into an even bigger mess. Instead of finding relief, you may find more complications and misunderstandings. Perhaps you need to take the situation into your own hands and deal with it yourself. GEMINI — You’re becoming much more perceptive, Gemini. At the same time, your psyche and unconscious knowing are also more acute. You may find that you know more about the way someone feels than that person does. More than likely, this sort of perspective is causing you to want to take aggressive action in order to shake people up and help them open their own eyes to the situation at hand. CANCER — You’re likely to act with great immediacy, Cancer. You will instantly know what to do in a situation, especially a crisis. You’re likely to be thinking at top speed and moving with efficiency and courage. You should feel strong knowing that there’s a terrific support system surrounding you in case things go awry. Go out on a limb and take a chance that you might not have considered before. LEO — If someone tries to criticize you, Leo, don’t be afraid to defend yourself. Other people aren’t going to be afraid to speak their minds, and you shouldn’t either. You may feel like someone is prodding you with a stick. They probably just want to get some sort of reaction out of you. Be honest about how you feel and explain your statements instead of just being curt. VIRGO — Be a friend to someone new and lend a hand to a greater cause than just your own advancement, Virgo. Ally with people by offering your support instead of asking for it. Give more of yourself and you will find that in the long run you will receive a great deal more than you ever would have asked for. Be2015 generous Monday, November 16, to the people around you and form

collective goals that will benefit everyone. LIBRA — The gas is on, Libra. One spark can cause an explosive fireball. There’s a tremendous amount of potential energy to the day just waiting to be unleashed. Know what you’re getting into before you light that match. The effects of your actions will ripple for some time. That said, go ahead and set the situation on fire. Perhaps there’s an issue brewing that can no longer be ignored. SCORPIO — This is truly a day of new beginnings, Scorpio. You can start a fresh cycle of emotions and understanding that can help you develop the quality and depth of your relationships. Note that all levels of your relationships will be affected in some way. Take time to consider the fact that you’re at the starting line. Focus and align yourself with your goals and the people who can help you meet them. SAGITTARIUS — Stop dwelling on old projects and routines based on situations that have long since expired, Sagittarius. Note the changes that have occurred around you and adjust your plans. This is a good time to honestly examine your situation. Being aggressive in your approach toward improvement and change means letting go of what no longer serves you. Move forward with courage instead of hesitation. CAPRICORN — You’re apt to feel stronger within, helping you to connect the inner and outer sides of your personality, Capricorn. You may feel like you have all your troops united on a common front and are making tremendous progress toward reaching your goals. Don’t stop. Your momentum is strong. Things you set in motion now will have a tremendous effect that will continue to increase over time. AQUARIUS — There’s an explosive quality about the day. You may walk along, minding your own business, when someone accidentally bumps into you. Your first reaction may be to push that person back. Carelessness on the part of others may cause you to get worked up into fits of rage. Do your best to keep these tendencies under control, especially when driving. PISCES — You have a tremendous amount of drive and enthusiasm to help you move forward in your projects, Pisces. Be careful that you don’t act hastily or impulsively. Be careful of starting out on a new path without having a good idea about where it’s going. Rash decisions may lead to dangerous situations, so know what direction to go in before you start the car. Be safe.

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.

‘Another American city has been scarred by gun violence’ guns

Continued from Page A1 On Tuesday, President Biden gave remarks on the Colorado shooting and said he wouldn’t speculate as to why the shooting occurred until he had all the information. “But I do know this: As President, I can use all the resources at my disposal to keep the American people safe,” he said. “As I said: At this moment, a great deal remains unknown. But three things are certain. First, 10 lives have been lost, and more families have been shattered by gun violence in the state of Colorado. And Jill and I are devastated. And the feeling — I just can’t imagine how the families are feeling — the victims whose futures were stolen from them, from their families, from their loved ones who now have to struggle to go on and try to make sense of what’s happened. Less than a week after the horrific murders of eight people and the assault on the AAPI community in Georgia, while the flag was still flying half-staff for the tragedy, another American city has been scarred by gun violence and the resulting trauma.” President Biden commended Officer Eric Talley, who was killed in the shooting, and offered condolences to his family and seven children. “You know, when he pinned on that badge yesterday morning, he didn’t know what the day would bring,” President Biden said. “I want everybody to think about this: Every time an officer walks out of his or her home and pins that badge on, a family member that they just said goodbye to wonders whether they’ll — subconsciously — will they get that call. The call that his wife got. He thought he’d be coming home to his family and his seven children. But when the moment to act came, Officer Talley did not hesitate in his duty, making the ultimate sacrifice in his effort to save lives. “That’s a definition of an American hero.” The other victims have been identified as: Kevin Mahoney, 61; Teri Leiker, 51; Rikki Olds,

“We can ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in this country once again. I got that done when I was a senator. It passed. It was law for the longest time, and it brought down these mass killings. We should do it again. President Joe Biden 25; Lynn Murray, 62; Tralona Barkowiak, 49; Suzanne Fountain, 59; Denny Stong, 20; Jody Waters, 65; and Neven Stanisic, 23. The suspect, 21-year-old Ahmad Al Aliwi Alisa, is facing 10 counts of murder in the first degree, police said Tuesday. President Biden added that while the motive remains unclear, the reports of the modifications used on the firearm should not be permitted. “I don’t need to wait another minute, let alone an hour, to take common sense steps that will save … lives in the future and to urge my colleagues in the House and Senate to act,” he said. “We can ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in this country once again,” President Biden added. “I got that done when I was a senator. It passed. It was law for the longest time, and it brought down these mass killings. We should do it again.” Mr. Biden was asked if he would be introducing new gun legislation, and replied that he would discuss it at a later date. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com
