A hotspot for education Santa Barbara Learning Center Movement helps students tackle distance learning

A paddle out will take place this afternoon to celebrate the life of the Santa Barbara man who was shot and killed on Jan. 7. Seafaring locals will gather in loving memory of 19-yearold Enzo Marino Rastelli, and participate in the Hawaiian tradition that pays tribute to people who have died. The paddle out will be held at 3 p.m. today at Devereux Beach in Isla Vista. The shooting occurred in unincorporated Goleta, and it’s believed Mr. Rastelli was in the passenger seat of a parked vehicle with another 19-year-old in the driver’s seat. The suspect reportedly approached the vehicle and began shooting at the two teens. The other teenager’s name was withheld, and he was listed in critical but stable condition a few days after the incident. The suspect is still at large. Mr. Rastelli was attending the Culinary Arts program at Santa Barbara City College, and he loved the outdoors and surfing the ocean, according to a GoFundMe page created to help raise money for services. He was described as, “A true lover of the outdoors

Students in kindergarten to eighth grade are working on their classwork in churches throughout Santa Barbara. It’s called the Santa Barbara Learning Center Movement, which is led by Bob Niehaus and the Coalition for Neighborhood Schools. Calvary Chapel was the first church to open its facility and now has 24 students enrolled, 30 volunteers and one staff member overseeing the program. The students sit six-feet apart at long folding tables. They have headphones on to hear their class and bring their tablets or computers to participate. They wear masks and get temperatures taken before they walk inside. There are at least four volunteers in the room each day and can help the students with questions and keep them on task. Most days, at least one volunteer is bilingual. While all the students speak English well, the bilingual volunteer helps communicate with parents. The hardest part is keeping the students engaged in the youth group room — which has a skate ramp and climbing wall. But the kids have been amazing, according to Calvary Chapel’s learning center supervisor Hannah Stutzman. “A lot of them just have a hard time learning over Zoom, especially the little ones,” she said. “We’ve heard from many of the teachers that they’ve improved a lot in their grades and saved by coming here.” Some of the students hadn’t logged in since March, so teachers were appreciative of the program for getting students back online. The Learning Center Movement began when a member of Calvary Chapel saw students clustering

He’d like to see the movement extend beyond the pandemic and provide volunteers to the schools. Please see learning on A2

Bridge project nears completion MONTECITO — On Jan. 12, a few days after the third anniversary of the 2018 deadly debris flow in Montecito, the Santa Barbara County Public Works Department took another step in the rebuilding process when it replaced the East Mountain Drive Bridge over San Ysidro Creek. The 75-foot long structure will primarily be used as a bicycle and pedestrian access bridge between the San Ysidro Ranch and the San Ysidro Trailhead. The bridge will be closed to vehicular traffic except during emergencies when

first responders will have access. The $285,000 bridge was paid for with SCE settlement funds and constructed by Peter Lapidus Construction, a local vendor. Approach roads are expected to be built in the upcoming weeks, and the bridge is scheduled to open next month, according to officials. The project marks the latest in a series of projects that County Public Works has completed in the past year in Montecito. Last February, the $1.8 million Ashley Road Bridge that connects East

Mountain Road to Sycamore Canyon Road was opened to the public. The new bridge is a structural improvement and maintains the aesthetic beauty of the previous bridge. It includes a higher arch and longer span to allow a 100-year storm event to pass under the bridge. Last summer, the county also finished a $5.7 million project to repair 28 lane miles and microsurface 17 lane miles of road damaged during the fire and debris flow. This year, County Public Works

will proceed with additional projects as part of the Thomas Fire recovery. Work will begin this month on the Hot Springs shoulder improvement project. The County will create improved walking shoulders from the Santa Barbara city limits to Middle Road that will increase connectivity and enhance recent work by the Bucket Brigade and Montecito Trails Foundation. This project is tentatively scheduled to finish by mid-February. — Gerry Fall

Impeachment trial could start Tuesday By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has suggested an impeachment trial for President Donald Trump could start as early as Tuesday. That would be one day before

President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris are inaugurated. The trial could go on for weeks or months. A conviction would require the votes of 67 senators. President Trump likely will be out of office before there’s a vote on whether to convict or acquit

him. But if a conviction takes place, he could lose his right to a pension, annual travel allowance and the security detail that former presidents usually get. And by a simple majority vote, the Senate could ban him from running for office again. (But first, the Senate would have to convict

him with the 67 votes.) House members are divided on the timeline. Some are saying the trial should be delayed, so that the Senate can focus on Presidentelect Biden’s agenda and Cabinet nominees.

In that case, only half of the payment must be made within 15 days of notice. The other half would be made at the tenants’ vacating. The payment also must be divided and paid individually to each tenant who has been continuously and lawfully in the residence for 12 months.

As part of Calvary Chapel’s partnership with Franklin Elementary, he read books to a kindergarten class last year and saw a great impact. “We’re taking a long-term view. Because what we saw at Franklin is that test scores skyrocketed after churches started volunteering and providing tutoring,� he said. “We want to make a difference in American education. Hopefully, we can start something that can be transplanted elsewhere.� For now, the Learning Center Movement provides a supervised place to log into Zoom classes and complete homework. Even when schools are allowed to reopen,

“We discussed the matter and fine-tuned our final vote over a few hearings, coming to a fair decision,� Santa Barbara Mayor Cathy Murillo told the News-Press. “We were trying to balance the needs and interests of both property ownears and tenants. “I supported relocation assistance that helped tenants being displaced through no fault of their own.� The Santa Barbara Rental Property Association did not respond to request for comment by the deadline.

SoCalGas denies knowledge of texts sent to Santa Barbara residents By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara City Council decided Tuesday to move forward with finding ways to require all new construction to be all electric, and hopes to incentivize already existing buildings with natural gas appliances to make the switch. While city staff still have more work to do and research to come back with before any policy goes into effect, both city staff and leadership discussed what they called a misinformation campaign by Californians for Balanced Energy Solutions at the meeting. The campaign involved many emails and unsolicited text messages to Santa Barbara residents urging them to contact the city council and tell them to vote no on the energy reach code. The Public Advocates Office, an independent consumer advocate at the California Public Utilities Commission, sent an inquiry to SoCalGas, who allegedly created

and funded C4BES, and asked them the following: “Please provide a copy of the text message sent by C4BES to Santa Barbara residents”; “Please explain how Santa Barbara residents’ phone numbers were obtained to send the C4BES text message”; “Please identify when the message or messages were sent and how many people they were sent to”; “Please identify all other cities where similar text messages have been sent to residents of those communities”; and “Did Sempra Energy, SoCalGas or SDG&E facilitate the delivery of the text messages in any manner, whether direct or indirect?” SoCalGas responded on Jan. 6, 2021, with nine objections to the inquiry’s instructions. However, its response to the questions said, “SoCalGas did not facilitate the delivery of the text messages in Question 1. Therefore, SoCalGas lacks personal knowledge to respond to Questions 1 through 4.”

SoCalGas provided general objections and objections to “instructions” from the inquiry. The company referred to the instructions as “overbroad and unduly burdensome,” and objected to the deadline of Jan. 6, calling it “unduly burdensome and unreasonable, particularly given the holidays.” The company wrote in its response, “Special interrogatory instructions of this nature are expressly prohibited by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 2030.060(d). SoCalGas further objects to the Instructions to the extent they purport to impose requirements exceeding that required by CPUC General Order 66-D or the Discovery Custom and Practice Guidelines provided by the CPUC.” The Public Advocates Office looks at what utilities do with customer money, and according to Maya Chupkov, director of strategic communications and

outreach, “We found the company (SoCalGas) illegally misused ratepayer money to advocate against state’s climate policies.” The office has been investigating SoCalGas and its involvement with C4BES since May of 2019, and the investigation “revealed that SoCalGas has engaged in numerous campaigns throughout the state intended to promote gas use.” According to the website, SoCalGas has: “formed coalitions to convince the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority to procure natural gas buses in lieu of electric ones”; “convinced local officials in over 100 jurisdictions to reject ‘Reach Codes’ that seek to limit the installation of gas in new construction”; and “succeeded in ensuring the continued use of natural gas at the ports of both Long Beach and Los Angeles.” The office said the company claimed these activities were “100% shareholder-funded.”

“As part of our efforts to ensure affordable, safe, and reliable utility services, the Public Advocates Office carefully reviews what utilities do with the money they collect from their customers through utility bills,” the office said in a statement to the News-Press. “In our investigation of SoCalGas’ records, we found evidence that the gas company was illegally using customers’ money to misinform the public and lobby against the state’s policy goals.” The office added, “It is only fair that Californians know what is being done with their money. “Our office hopes the CPUC will do the right thing and hold SoCalGas accountable in order to deter future misconduct. SoCalGas customers deserve to know the truth about how their money is spent, especially if it involves illegally funding efforts to derail California’s policy goals,” the statement said. SoCalGas Public Affairs

Manager Tim Mahoney was asked directly by Council member Kristen Sneddon if he had any knowledge of the texting campaign during the council meeting, and his response was, “I got one (a text). Somebody sent me a text message. I didn’t know this one was coming to me, no.” C4BES Executive Director Jon Switalski also defended the campaign at the meeting, saying, “Our campaign that was referenced here was indeed truthful and accurate.” According to Ms. Chupkov, the Public Advocates Office has sought sanctions for some of the company’s inappropriate practices, and the CPUC issued a subpoena that she said SoCalGas has not complied with. She added that the “efforts to uncover SoCalGas astroturf activities and other violations of law continue.” email: gmccormick@newspress. com

Santa Barbara breaks daily record-high By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

KENNETH SONG/NEWS-PRESS PHOTOS

A sign in front of Pacific Western Bank in Goleta shows the warm temperatures experienced Thursday in Santa Barbara County. The official reading was 84 degrees, breaking the previous record high of 82 degrees set in 1991.

It was certainly hard to tell on Thursday that it was winter in Santa Barbara. Even before the clock struck noon, the temperature reading at the Santa Barbara Municipal Airport was at 84 degrees, breaking the previous record high temperature of 82 degrees set in 1991, according to the National Weather Service in Oxnard. Once the news was posted to Twitter on Thursday, a user questioned the weather service and asked, “Is this winter or summer?” The weather service replied, “Swinter maybe?” Today’s forecast calls for a high of 81 degrees with sunny skies, which could reach the daily record high of 82 set in 2014. The above-average temperatures have resulted in a fire weather watch being issued

tonight through Saturday morning for county mountains and the South Coast. A fire weather watch indicates that critical fire weather conditions are expected. A red flag warning will be in place through 4 p.m. today for Los Angeles and Ventura counties, according to the weather service. Into the weekend, a slight cool down is expected. Conditions on Sunday are expected to be in the upper 70s, with temperatures dropping slightly into early next week. The heat wave comes after high surf swells occurred on local beaches over the past several days. According to the weather service, peak surf occurred on Wednesday in the south portion of Santa Barbara County, with waves between 3 to 6 feet. Central Coast beaches experienced waves between 12 to 18 feet. email: mwhite@newspress.com

Surfers were able to take advantage of some favorable surfing conditions last week, as seen here at Rincon Point in Carpinteria.

Gauchos return from layoff tonight to face UC San Diego By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Time may not heal all wounds, but a 12-day layoff was just what the doctor ordered for the UCSB men’s basketball team. The Gauchos, who played several walking wounded and held back hobbled Temple transfer Josh Pierre-Louis in their Jan. 1-2 double-header with Cal State Fullerton, will return to the Thunderdome for 5 o’clock games tonight and on Saturday against UC San Diego. Spectators will not be allowed because of COVID-19 protocol. “It really did help — we’re still a little banged up,” UCSB coach Joe Pasternack said of the hiatus. “That happens in a basketball season. It was also good to get this time to work in practice. “But our conference preseason was only five games, and since I’ve been here, we usually play something like 15 nonconference games. It’s really hard to replicate game reps and we’re just nine games into our season. What we really need are game reps more than practices.” He’s hoping the workouts will help remedy Amadou Sow’s sluggish start to the season. The 6-foot-9 junior, a second-team All-Big West Conference pick the last two years, is averaging only 10.1 points on 42.5% shooting. Last year, Sow scored at a 14.1-point clip on 54.7% shooting. “If anybody benefited from the last week-anda-half, it was Amadou,” Pasternack said. “He got a chance to look at his shots, his rebounding, and his defense. He’s gotten better and has shown some pop. “He has been banged up — that’s been a big part of his struggles — and he has gotten healthier.” UC San Diego (2-1), a Big West newcomer that’s transitioning from Division 2 to Division 1, will be making its conference debut tonight. The Tritons had their first two league double-headers (Jan. 1-2 against Cal Poly and Jan. 8-9 against Cal State Northridge) canceled by positive COVID tests within their opponents’ programs. They did arrange to play host to defending Big West champion UC Irvine last Saturday. The game was considered a non-league contest since they are scheduled to visit Irvine on Feb. 26-27. San Diego, which went 30-1 as an NCAA Division 2 power, led the Anteaters for the first 25 minutes of Saturday’s game before losing, 7965. Freshman guard Bryce Pope scored a teamhigh 21 points while 6-foot-8 Toni Rocak, the brother of UCSB freshman Niko Rocak, added

KENNETH SONG/NEWS-PRESS

UCSB all-leaguer Amadou Sow, shown swatting a shot last season by UC Irvine’s Collin Welp, is looking to get untracked in this weekend’s basketball games against UC San Diego.

20. “I don’t care who you’re playing, if you win 30 games, you have an unbelievably good program,” Pasternack said. “They are an incredibly well-coached team and they execute at an unbelievably high level. “They were up on Irvine for much of that game before Irvine willed their way to that win at the end.” Eric Olen has compiled a win-loss record of 159-56 in his seven years as the Tritons’ coach. Rocak, a transfer from Regis College, has come off the bench to lead San Diego in scoring at 13.3 points per game. Pope and Jake Killingsworth, a 6-5 graduate transfer from Columbia, have combined to make 14-of-29 three-

pointers (48.3%) in their three games. “They shoot 30 threes a game,” Pasternack pointed out. “This game presents a different challenge than the other ones we’ve played.” The Tritons also have a veteran playmaker in 6-3 senior Mikey Howell (9.5 points, 4.5 assists), who is back in the lineup after missing the Irvine game with a non-COVID illness. He set a singleseason school record last year by averaging 6.9 assists per game and is within 10 of third place on the school’s all-time list. The Gauchos have benefitted from the play of their own senior playmakers, JaQuori McLaughlin and Devearl Ramsey. McLaughlin, UCSB’s leading scorer with a 16.9-point average, also leads the Big West and ranks 21st nationally with his assist average of 5.9 per game. As a team, the Gauchos are fourth nationally with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.8. McLaughlin ranks eighth individually at 4.7 while Ramsey is 19th at 3.75. “We are taking care of the ball and sharing it well,” Pasternack observed. “I think we’re in the top 10 in the country for assists-to-field goals made. “Where we really need to get better is rebounding the basketball. We’re not rebounding or getting second shots like we have in past years. From a defensive standpoint, we’re going to have to rebound and take away the three tonight. We really have to be better in those two areas this weekend.” UC San Diego won’t be the only Big West team playing its first league game. CSUN, which has been sidelined by either COVID or its bye week, will travel to Long Beach State for its debut tonight. UC Davis, which has been forbidden by Yolo County health officials to play or practice indoors for the last six weeks, had that order rescinded on Thursday. The Aggies will be the last Big West team to make their league debut when they play UC San Diego next week. UCSB hasn’t had a game canceled since it opened its season on Nov. 29. “I wish I could tell you that we have some kind of magic sauce, but I think it’s all been luck,” Pasternack said. “We do have some guys who are really disciplined, and they care about playing and about each other. “It’s a huge sacrifice for student-athletes to stay away from other students, and our guys have sacrificed. But there’s also a lot of luck involved.” email: mpatton@newspress.com

Former DP star Pickett picked fourth in NWSL Draft By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Kansas City made Dos Pueblos High graduate Kiki Pickett, a two-time NCAA champion for Stanford, the No. 4 overall pick in Wednesday’s National Women’s Soccer League player draft.

Dos Pueblos High graduate Kiara “Kiki” Pickett was selected by Kansas City with the No. 4 pick of Wednesday’s National Women’s Soccer League player draft. Kansas City entered draft day with no first-round selections but took steps to ensure it could get the Stanford defender. It sent $175,000 in allocation money to New Jersey’s Sky Blue FC in exchange for that club’s fourth-overall pick. “Kiki was a player that we identified really early,” Kansas City coach Huw Williams said. “The staff over here have put hours upon hours of time watching film, and consistently, among all of our assistant coaches, she came very high on everybody’s list. “It was not only a high-caliber player but also a high-caliber player in the right position for us.”

He said he plans to play Pickett at right back. “She is a great fit for our system,” Williams said. “She’s explosive and can attack from the back.” Pickett, who stands just 5-feet tall, came up big for Stanford in its run to the 2019 NCAA championship with the decisive boot during the penalty kick shootout against North Carolina in the College Cup Final. She played multiple positions for the Cardinal, scoring two goals with nine assists during its run to a third-straight Pac-12 championship and the national title. “I am a very versatile player,” Pickett said. “I’m a right back who’s not afraid to go up and down that field. “I love to coin the saying, ‘I don’t like 50/50 balls because I make sure they’re 60/40’s on my end.’ But I’m very aggressive, very tenacious. Even though I’m short-statured,

I make sure that I play like 7-feet tall.” She earned All-America honors in 2019 and was also part of Stanford’s run to the 2017 NCAA championship. Pickett announced just before the draft that she plans to delay her professional debut until after her spring season with the Cardinal. “I am so honored to have this opportunity during these uncertain times and circumstances,” she said in a statement. “I’m very excited to have one last chance to compete for another championship with my closest friends. I want to enjoy these last moments in a Cardinal uniform before playing professionally.” She has been a regular in the U.S. Youth National Program and received a call-up to the U.S. Women’s National Team ID camp. email: mpatton@newspress.com

As the wife of a career U. S. Air Force man, Mary and the family were constantly on the move across the United States in dedication to JC and her country. Stops included Texas, Minnesota, Illinois, Washington, North Dakota, and California (Vandenberg Air Force Base), where Mary and JC would raise their teenage children and retire in Vandenberg Village (Lompoc), California.

Glamour and Class. ,QÀQLWH VDVV When appropriate, kick-your-a**. Now, raise a glass!

Mary worked in the Accounts Payable Department at Marian Medical Center in Santa Maria, California, prior to her retirement after 25 years of service. Mary’s children fondly, and proudly, recall their parents’ involvement in all aspects of their lives. From being Den parents for the Scouts to Little League “Team Mom” and coach, in addition to strong involvement in school PTA’s and booster clubs as well as president of the Vandenberg Saddle Club. Dedication and service to the Lord set the foundation for Mary and JC’s life together as they sought to seek His will in their marriage and in raising their family. Mary sincerely enjoyed her connection with her church family and felt very blessed to see her children continuing their walk of faith. After the death of JC, Mary was so very thankful for and cherished her church family, friends, and loving neighbors for the love and care they provided. Mary is survived by her four children: JC (Sheryl), Jeff (Erin), Wendy (John), and Greg (Linda); five grandchildren: JC III (Marlyn), Janelle (Jordan), Von, Max (Natalie), Sam (Jessica); seven great-grandchildren: Joseph, Jarrett, Sean, Rylinn, Cruz, Jude, and Piper Jolene. She is also survived by her brother Ronald and sister Penny and their families. JC’s sisters in Texas were also a major influence in her life. She loved having her family home for the holidays the most, loved her Las Vegas jaunts and she was constantly at odds with her crossword puzzles and game shows! Mary would believe that her most notable accomplishments were the fact that she walked along God’s pathway and that she was a devoted wife to her husband and a loving mother to her children.

tudents for EcoEducation and Agriculture is launching its free Santa Barbara County Child Wellness

Initiative. The program is designed to educate and inspire children to eat healthy by adding locally grown Santa Barbara County fruits and vegetables to their diet. Third-graders will learn about the nutrients and health benefits of Santa Barbara County specialty crops such as strawberries, broccoli, cauliflower, celery, lettuce and avocados. A different crop is being highlighted each month during live, one-hour online presentations. “We want to engage students in an interactive, fun way, as we know how hard it can be for young students to be away from their friends and teachers while learning remotely,” said Kathleen Knight, SEEAG Child Wellness Initiative educator and program developer. “Our program encourages kids to use their detective skills to learn about Santa Barbara County’s local agriculture, to engage in thoughtful discussions about healthy eating, and even gets students up and dancing with their classmates and teachers.” Lessons and activities will teach students about the journey of food — from seed to harvest to local markets. Students will be introduced to the “food rainbow,” made up of the different colors of fruit and vegetables. They will learn how each color benefits specific parts of the body. They will also learn about the importance of exercise and staying active. Each student who participates will receive links to online activities for further learning. SEEAG is hoping to provide inperson education when students return to school campuses. The nonprofit is in the process of fundraising for a Santa Barbara County Farm Fresh Mobile Classroom van, which brings SEEAG educators to schools for hands-on nutritional education and provides students with fresh produce from local farms. SEEAG collaborated with a number of local agencies, businesses and growers to establish the Santa Barbara County Child Wellness Initiative. They include the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department, Santa Barbara County Food Action Please see rainbow on B4 Kathleen Knight, SEEAG Child Wellness Initiative educator and program developer, said the program engages students in a fun way to teach them about nutrition.

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.
