Former Congressman Robert Lagomarsino dies at age 94 By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Former Santa Barbara-Ventura Congressman Robert Lagomarsino died Sunday at the age of 94 at his home on his family ranch in Ojai. The old-school Republican politician and UCSB alumnus is remembered for serving under five presidents during his nearly twodecade career in Congress, serving the Central Coast communities for 13 years in the California Senate and serving the city of Ojai as mayor for three years. Mr. Lagomarsino also championed the establishment of the Channel Islands National Park and CSU Channel Islands. A mainland visitors center at

the Ventura Harbor was named after him, according to local news reports. The seasoned politician was born on Sept. 4, 1926 in Ventura, and attended Ventura High School. He served in the U.S. Navy as a pharmacist during WWII, and graduated from UCSB in 1950 and Santa Clara University School of Law in 1954. The year 1958 marked the start of Mr. Lagomarsino’s political career. He was elected to the Ojai City Council, and shortly after, served as its mayor at the age of 32. While he was mayor, he met his late wife Norma, and they got married in 1961. Norma had two sons when she married Mr. Lagomarsino, and

the two had a daughter together. Norma died in 2015. Then, in 1961, he was elected to the California Senate and named one of five outstanding young men in the state by the California Junior Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Lagomarsino served in the state Senate from 1961 to 1974, and served under then-governor Ronald Reagan. He became the senior ranking senator from Southern California and a member of the five-person Senate Rules Committee. His achievements during his time as a state senator include the Garrigus-Lagomarsino Act (1963) which authorized vocational education centers in each county of California; the California Child

Anti-Pornography Act (1969); the Marine Resources Protection Act (1970); the California Wild and Scenic Rivers legislation; the Jury Reform Act (1972); the Consumer Protection Act (1972) which authorized cities to create anti-fraud units; and the Welfare Reform Act (1973). Mr. Lagomarsino then served as a U.S. Congressman from 1974 to 1992. While there, he authored legislation that created the Channel Islands National Park and the Los Padres National Forest, among others. His congressional record consistently supported clean air and water, conservation, Please see lagomarsino on A6

52 ‘cart’ pickup?

City officials hope to pass an ordinance to recover and manage abandoned shopping carts By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

It’s estimated that the city of Santa Barbara’s Streets Division collects between 700 and 800 abandoned shopping carts throughout the city every year. In 2020, the city’s sole contractor retrieved 538 abandoned shopping carts from the streets of Santa Barbara, and that’s only including the city’s contractor, excluding other businesses that retrieve them. The Creeks Division also has to gather carts from Santa Barbara’s creek beds. In 2017, the city seized 64 carts from city beaches and creeks; in 2018, 32 carts; and 2019, 20 carts. Now, the city is ready to clean up the carts and figure out a system to return them to their owners. To do that, city staff is proposing an ordinance to provide a mechanism to place primary responsibility for managing cart service with the owner of the cart and to set requirements for the prompt retrieval of carts that have been taken off business premises. “It reflects state regulations and it is strictly focused on empty abandoned carts, and working with businesses to make sure they have a plan in place to limit carts from being taken from their property,” René Eyerly, the city’s environmental services manager, told the News-Press. State law already makes it unlawful to remove a shopping cart from business premises or to possess it after it has been removed. This ordinance won’t add any additional penalties for individuals unlawfully removing carts, but instead, it will focus on cart recovery and management. If shopping carts appear to be in use by individuals experiencing homelessness, they will be left alone. Ms. Eyerly said that collecting the carts being used to store personal belongings will need to be a separate conversation from this one. “We are having conversations as part of our strategic plan about how to provide temporary storage, so I would say that in the next year or so, we’ll be having more conversations about how we might approach that topic separately,” she said. If approved, this ordinance would require shopping cart owners to secure their carts during

hours when their business is closed and conspicuously mark and identify each cart with the name, address and telephone number of the owner, along with a notification that removing the cart is a violation of state and local law. The businesses would be responsible for any costs for a cart containment system or to add identification to their carts. The ordinance was originally scheduled to be brought to the Santa Barbara City Council for approval last Tuesday, but the item was postponed for a later date. “It’s definitely both a safety measure to make sure that these carts aren’t in the public right of way and somehow impeding car traffic or foot traffic, and also just the general contribution to blight,” Ms. Eyerly said. Carts in Santa Barbara are typically found in highly concentrated areas such as several blocks on either side of State Please see carts on A6

The city’s shopping cart ordinance would only apply to abandoned, empty shopping carts, so carts being used for storage, such as these at the Highway 101 northbound onramp at Castillo Street, will not be removed.

The Santa Barbara Unified School District will be consulting with the city’s Historic Landmarks Commission for a proposed $1.3 million window replacement project at Santa Barbara High School. The school board discussed the proposal during its Tuesday meeting, with board member Laura Capps requesting to pull the item from the board’s consent agenda to request consultation with the HLC. The district consulted with the HLC in 2017 while it tested its plans for aluminum-clad windows at Santa Barbara High. The high school building is a historic landmark, but because it is owned by a public entity, the HLC can’t demand changes. Nicole Hernandez, project planner and architectural historian for the city of Santa Barbara, was on site to see a test run of five windows. She and her colleagues did not think the new windows were in close enough

resemblance to the original wood windows. “Being a really important building and a school, we really think they should be the best match possible,” she told the News-Press. While at the high school campus, located at 700 E. Anapamu St., she noticed that the windows on the front of the building could be restored. Others were rotten and would be hard to repair. The current proposal only includes windows on the southfacing facade. The district did not choose to replace all the building’s windows because of budgetary constraints, Steve Vizzolini, director of facilities and modernization, told the News-Press. Ms. Hernandez didn’t know the district had bid the project or intended to replace 102 windows soon. She said she was surprised when the district didn’t provide all the documents the HLC requested in 2017. Four contractors submitted Please see windows on A2

TRAFFIC, CRIME & FIRE BLOTTER Man killed in rollover crash LOMPOC — A man was killed in a single-vehicle rollover crash on Thursday north of Lompoc, authorities said. The crash was reported around

12:45 p.m. in the 4700 block of Harris Grade Road, north of Rucker Road in the unincorporated area of Santa Barbara County. The vehicle was found on its roof and the lone occupant was ejected and declared dead on arrival, said Capt. Daniel Bertucelli, spokesman for the Santa Barbara County Fire Department. According to the California

Highway Patrol, the driver, a 33year-old man, was traveling north on Harris Grade Road when, for unknown reasons, he made an unsafe turning movement, traveled off the roadway and struck an embankment. The collision with the embankment caused the vehicle to overturn. Traffic restrictions were in place for a time following the

crash, the cause of which is under investigation. It was unclear if alcohol or drugs played a factor in the collision. Anyone with information is asked to contact CHP Officer Escobedo at the Buellton-area CHP office at 805688-5551. — Mitchell White

SB County reports 153 new COVID-19 cases, eight deaths By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department reported 153 new COVID-19 cases Thursday, which increases the county’s total to 30,502 cases. Officials consider 836 cases as still infectious. The health department also reported eight deaths where COVID-19 is listed as the cause of death or a significant condition, increasing the county’s total to 366 deaths. All were at least 70 years of age. Four had underlying health conditions, and four of the deaths were associated with an outbreak at a congregate living facility. Lompoc was home to four of the deceased; two lived in Santa Maria; one resided in Santa Barbara; and one was from the South County area containing Montecito, Summerland and the city of Carpinteria. Santa Maria detected 40 new cases, which brings its total 10,372 cases. The city has 210 active cases. Santa Barbara reported 35 cases Thursday. Its new total is 5,576 cases, and 167 are still infectious. Lompoc confirmed 17 new cases and has a new total of 3,193 cases, of which 111 are currently infectious. The following areas also reported new cases Thursday: the South County area containing Montecito, Summerland and the city of Carpinteria, 14 cases (1,225 total, 43 active); Orcutt, 14 cases (1,599 total, 44 active); Goleta, seven cases (1,587 total, 75 active); the Santa Ynez Valley, seven cases (887 total, 35 active); the unincorporated area of the Goleta Valley and Gaviota, five cases (1,034 total, 27 active); Isla Vista, three cases (1,133 total, 41 active); the North County area containing Sisquoc, Casmalia, Garey, Cuyama, New Cuyama and the city of Guadalupe, one case (1,185 total, 38 active).

The geographic locations of 10 daily cases are pending. In county hospitals, 154 COVID19 patients are being treated, and 38 of those are in critical care. Santa Barbara County has 23.4% of its staffed ICU beds available. A total of 1,288 health care workers have contracted COVID19. The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office reported two new staff cases of COVID-19 and 13 new inmate cases. Of the 113 Sheriff’s employees that have contracted the virus, 102 have recovered and returned to work. Two of the 13 inmates were positive upon intake, and one has since been released. The other 11 cases contracted the virus during an outbreak earlier this month. A total of 46 inmates have active COVID-19 cases, and a total of 209 have contracted the virus. Cottage Health issued an update on Thursday, announcing that it is caring for a total of 315 patients across all campuses. Some 208 are acute care patients, 13 of whom are on ventilators. In addition, 68 acute care patients are in isolation with COVID-19 symptoms and 61 are confirmed COVID-19 positive. Of the patients in isolation, nine are in critical care. The adult critical care availability at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital was 46.7% on Thursday. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a study Wednesday concluding that masks are most effective when fitted to the contours of the face or doubled up, a cloth mask over a medical mask. In an experiment, a standard medical procedure mask blocked 42% of the particles from a simulated cough, and a cloth mask blocked 44.3%. The cloth mask layered over the procedure mask blocked 92.5% of particles. The CDC also issued new quarantine guidance for fully vaccinated individuals.

Those who received their second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine more than two weeks ago but still within the last three months do not have to quarantine after being exposed to COVID-19 — as long as they don’t have symptoms. The county Public Health Department hosted a virtual town hall event on Thursday regarding the latest vaccination efforts. Dr. Van Do-Reynoso, director of the county Public Health Department, said that in the next few weeks the state will be asking Blue Shield of California to do the vaccine allocations to both the county Public Health Department, as well as local healthcare providers. The county is continuing its efforts to vaccinate frontline health care workers and residents over the age of 75. Dr. Do-Reynoso said that the county will be moving to vaccinate those 65 and older “very quickly,” and that within the next several weeks those who are atrisk of exposure at work in the sectors of education, child care, emergency services, food, grocery and agriculture will receive vaccinations. “Things are changing quickly,” she said. “I have heard about worries (about) when the public will be vaccinated. I want to reassure you that we are ready to vaccinate our public, our community members. The issue is a limited number of vaccines that we are getting from the state.” Current data shows that the county has utilized 81% of the vaccines it has received, she added. Health Officer Dr. Henning Ansorg fielded several questions regarding the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, including how long immunity lasts for recipients. “Because this vaccine is so new … we do not know yet how long this immunity will last,” he said. “When we compare it to other vaccines and see how good the response is with the antibodies in the blood of people who got it a year ago, we anticipate that it lasts at least

one year or hopefully three years, at which time we would need a booster shot.” He explained that the two vaccines currently offered do not contain any virus, but a small piece of genetic code known as RNA. When it is injected into the human body, the vaccine gets the information to make antibodies against the virus. “We do not get infected with any other virus when we get this particular vaccine,” he said. There have been rare cases of people getting a severe allergic reaction from the vaccines, which Dr. Ansorg said is “easily treatable” and that those who do receive the vaccine are asked to remain at the distribution site for at least 15 minutes to avoid a severe reaction. He later added that there are no known long-term effects from the vaccines. Dr. Ansorg also shared that a single-shot vaccine produced by Johnson and Johnson could be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration within the next 10 days.

painted with lead-based paint, hazardous material demolition is required at a cost of $119,020. If the windows are to be restored, the paint would need to be removed as well. The district chose to replace the windows because it determined that repairing them would have a higher price tag. Measure I 2016 bond funds will be used to pay for the project. In 2017, the district estimated that an aluminum-clad window

replacement would cost $10,148 per window and a wooden replacement window installed was estimated at $11,795 per window. David Hetyonk was the director of facilities and operations at the time. “Windsor windows were selected based on the experience of the architect having replaced similar windows at the historic Carpinteria Junior High School, and on the successful pilot project that replaced the windows in one

classroom at Santa Barbara High,” Mr. Vizzolini said. He agreed to consult the HLC again before the board gives its final vote. The HLC designated Santa Barbara High School as a historic landmark in 2005. William Henry Weeks, who Ms. Hernandez described as “a very prominent architect at the time,” designed the building in 1924. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Chumash Foundation accepting applications for technology grants SANTAYNEZ—TheSantaYnezBandofChumash Indians Foundation is accepting grant applications for its Technology in Schools program. The program allows Santa Barbara County school administrators and faculty to apply for technology grant dollars to fund specific projects. These grants allow for schools to purchase hardware and/or upgrade infrastructure in the ever-changing educational landscape. The deadline to apply for the 202122 school year is April 30, and all applications must be submitted online at www.santaynezchumash.org/ foundation. “We recognize the challenge our local schools face in equipping their students with the appropriate technology to make distance learning a possibility during this global pandemic,” Kenneth Kahn, Tribal chairman for the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians, said in a statement. “As students begin returning to the classroom, schools will undoubtedly find opportunities to upgrade the in-person learning experience with new technology. Our Technology in Schools Program grants have the ability to help schools pay for their specific projects.” Since its inception in 2015, the program has issued more than $195,000 in grants to area schools.

Coaches overwhelmingly pick UCSB to win Big West baseball title By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Big West Conference coaches are predicting that UCSB will pick up where it left off last baseball season, voting the Gauchos as the favorites to win this year’s league championship. UCSB, which was 13-2 when COVID-19 canceled the rest of last season, won the Big West’s preseason coaches’ poll for the first time in school history. “We were off to a solid start last year and didn’t get to finish it, but

this year’s team is still a work in progress,” Gaucho coach Andrew Checketts said. “We’re still trying to figure out who we’re going to play in certain positions — although I think the first three starters in our pitching rotation are pretty easy to choose.” The Gauchos, who have gone a combined 58-13 the last two seasons, will be defending their 2019 Big West championship. They will take an eight-game winning streak into next Friday’s season-opening home series against Santa Clara, with a 3 p.m. game on Friday, a noon doubleheader on Saturday, and a 1 p.m. contest on Sunday. UCSB got 10 of the 11 first-place votes and 119 total points in the coaches’ preseason poll, finishing ahead of Long Beach State (96). UC Irvine placed third (95), followed by Cal Poly (94), and Cal State Fullerton (78). The Titans had won the preseason poll the previous 12 seasons. Cal State Northridge, which received the other first-place vote, was sixth in the poll (64), followed by Hawaii (61), UC Davis (39), UC San Diego (33), UC Riverside (29), and Cal State Bakersfield (18). UCSB, ranked No. 8 in the Collegiate Baseball preseason poll, returns a starting rotation of preseason All-Americans Rodney Boone, Zach Torra and Michael McGreevy. Reliever Conner Roberts is another highly regarded pitcher to return, having posted a win-loss record of 4-0 record last year. The Gauchos’ team earned run average of 1.86 tied Vanderbilt for best in the nation. But Checketts said his pitchers aren’t yet in mid-

season form. “We’re in the middle of our third week (of practice),” he pointed out. “Traditionally, we start our pitchers with a simulated inning in early January, but we weren’t able to do that until the end of January. “We’ll add an inning each week to that. They threw two innings each last week, and three or four — about 50 to 60 pitches — this week. They should be ready to go 65, maybe 70 pitches next week.” He expects to use his starters in tandem for each contest during next week’s four-game series against Santa Clara. Four redshirt freshmen — J.D. Callihan, Ryan Harvey, Carter Benbrook, and Cory Lewis — are competing for the Sunday starter’s spot.

“Some of those guys competing for the fourth spot aren’t yet where they were at the end of fall,” Checketts said. “They’ve made some advances in pitch development, but in terms of executing pitches and being in shape pitching-wise, they still need a little more time. “I think just about everybody but Oregon is in the same situation. They brought guys back before the new year and tested them, and they’ve been going for eight weeks.” UCSB will play Oregon in a fourgame series at Caesar Uyesaka Stadium on March 5 through 7. The Gauchos will also play a non-league series with highly ranked UCLA during their bye week, traveling to Westwood on Friday, May 15 and Sunday, May 16, sandwiching a Sat-

urday game at UCSB. The Gauchos will have road games at Pepperdine on Feb. 26 and 28, with a home doubleheader against the Waves on Feb. 27. USF will visit UCSB for a series on Fri., March 12 through Sun., March 14, with a Saturday doubleheader in between. The Gauchos will open Big West play with a four-game series at Cal State Fullerton, starting March 19 at 5 p.m. All of UCSB’s home games will be played during the day. “We’ve scheduled 58 games, and usually it’s only 56 — we get four extra games because we’re going to Hawaii,” Checketts said. “I felt that with a lot of the COVID stuff, we should schedule aggressively — overschedule instead of under-

schedule — and our administration is on board with that. “It makes sense because when you start cutting off games because of COVID, you might wind up having half of a season.” Fans will not be allowed at games for the time being. All home games, and most of those on the road, can be watched on live stream. “Fall Productions is one of the best streams on the West Coast,” Checketts said of UCSB’s video production service. “We’re pretty fortunate that our fans and families get to watch our games, with three to four cameras, and with the playby-play we get with Gerry (Fall) and Bob (Brontsema).” email: mpatton@newspress.com

UCSB men’s basketball will take an eight-game winning streak to Hawaii tonight, but coach Joe Pasternack thinks his Gauchos will be playing an even hotter Big West Conference opponent tonight at 9 o’clock PST. The Rainbow Warriors (7-5, 5-5 Big West) have won four of their last five games, which includes a split with a UC Irvine team that shares first place with UCSB (12-3, 6-2). “I really think Hawaii is playing the best basketball in the conference,” Pasternack said. “They beat the best team in our conference, UC Irvine, and (also) only lost to them by a point. “I think Hawaii has played the toughest schedule, having gone to Riverside and having already played Bakersfield. I think they’re playing the best in the conference.” The Rainbow Warriors have several of the league’s most deadly three-point shooters with Casdine Jardine (55.6%, 1.67 threes per game) and Justin Webster (51.4%, 2.1 threes). Webster leads Hawaii with a 13.8-point average while James Jean-Marie is scoring 12.5 points with a field-goal percentage of 58.8%, second-best in the conference. The Gauchos (12-3, 6-2) are led by senior guard JaQuori McLaughlin, who ranks third in the Big West in scoring (16.6 points per game), first in assists (5.2), sixth in field-goal percentage (52%), third in freethrow percentage (89.8%), and fifth in steals (1.7). McLaughlin also ranks 17th nationally with his assist-toturnover ratio of 3.32, but senior teammate Devearl is even higher at No. 1 (5.27). As a team, UCSB’s ratio of 1.69 is fourth in the nation while its assist average of 18.0

ranks ninth. The Gauchos also rank 12th in team field-goal percentage (50.3%) and 26th in scoring (80.3 points), both of which lead the Big West. But they also haven’t played since Jan. 30, having last week’s games because of COVID-19 protocol within Long Beach State’s program. “We’ve played well, but having a week off is a tough thing,” Pasternack said. “I know Hawaii went through a lot of that, of not playing games and just practicing.” The two teams will also play in Honolulu on Saturday at 9 p.m. PST. The two games will extend UCSB’s road trip to six games. The Gauchos, who are 7-0 at the Thunderdome this year, will have been on the road for 33 days when they finally play host to Cal State Bakersfield next week. UCSB’s women’s team (2-11, 2-7) will play host to Hawaii (4-5, 3-4), with 5 p.m. games today and Saturday. Westmont tennis falls to Concordia Concordia University of Irvine defeated both the men’s and women’s tennis teams of Westmont by 6-1 scores on the Warriors’ courts. In the men’s match, freshman Callen Hein won the lone point for the Warriors at No. 3 singles, defeating Mike Jansen 6-3, 5-7, 1-0 (12-10). Westmont’s Matthew Alleman lost a three-set match at No, 4 by a 6-3, 7-6, 1-0 (6-3) score. The only victory for the Warriors’ women came at No. 1 doubles, with Cade Pierson and Emily Peterson defeating Camila Tumosa and Heather Richards, 7-6. Pierson lost a tight match at No. 1 singles to Ghazal Pakbaten, 6-2, 2-6, 1-0 (10-7). email: mpatton@newspress.com

If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 730-2727 or visit this Internet Web site www.servicelinkASAP. com, using the file number assigned to this case 2020-01202. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (714) 730-2727, or visit this internet website www. servicelinkASAP.com, using the file number assigned to this case 202001202 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Alisal Resort reopens its restaurants By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

At left, a shopping cart ordinance for the city would require business owners, such as Ralph’s on Chapala Street, to list their name, address and telephone number, along with a notification that removing the cart is a violation of state and local law. At right, The city hopes to find temporary storage areas for homeless individuals at some point this year so that they don’t have to use shopping carts, such as this transient individual at the old Volkswagen building on Chapala Street.

carts

Continued from Page A1 Street and the lower Eastside and Westside. They are also often found near on and off ramps to the highway. Ms. Eyerly added that shopping carts average around $200 to $300 apiece. “In addition to the blight and safety concern I mentioned, the expense for the city to retrieve these and then manage them for the property owners … it’s definitely a financial loss to them to have them wander away and then replace them over time. Ideally, this would be helping them

to have some cost savings,” she said. The push for an ordinance like this began in 2020, and Ms. Eyerly said the city conducted several rounds of outreach to businesses associated with shopping carts. Staff also sent emails to the business owners informing them of the ordinance. The environmental services manager said that only a few businesses were concerned with it, but only with ways they would be able to comply with the ordinance. “Generally, the businesses have seemed to understand the need for it,” she said. “The easiest and simplest way for a business to comply is to demonstrate to us that they have a plan in place training

staff on retrieving carts, making sure they have signage in place, educating their customers not to take the carts off their property and keeping some kind of simple identification on each of the carts.” Stores in other regions utilize cart containment systems, which create invisible “fences” on the perimeter of the business’s property. A shopping cart’s wheels then lock if they are pushed past the perimeter. However, these systems are not required. Ms. Eyerly concluded saying that especially with chain grocery stores, there should be enough inventory that this really won’t have an impact on the stores, and the city is working on finding solutions for those experiencing

He’s known for regularly meeting with President Reagan while Congress was in session, and even flew home with him on Air Force One on occasion, as President Reagan’s ranch was in Mr. Lagomarsino’s district. Jim Worthen was both an aide and a campaign manager for Mr. Lagomarsino. He became his campaign manager in his first state senate race in 1966, and got to go to Sacramento with him as his aide for the first year of the Reagan governorship. He then served with Mr. Lagomarsino for two and a half years in the state senate, and they stayed in touch after that. “He was my mentor,” Mr. Worthen told the News-Press. “He taught me the right way to do politics. His word was his bond.” Mr. Worthen said that Mr. Lagomarsino would tell anybody they dealt with in his time in politics: “If you give your word, you better keep it, and if you don’t, we’ll never do business with you again.” “It worked,” Mr. Worthen said. “He was a wonderful man, honest,

the epitome of good in politics.” He was known as an old school, philosophically conservative politician, but Mr. Worthen said he highly respected the opinions of others, and often asked for them. “He’d call me and he’d say, ‘Tell me, what do you think about it?’ He started asking for my advice, and I would think, ‘Me? Why?’” Mr. Worthen said. “He was that open with people. He wanted to hear what they thought and where their information came from.” He added that he hadn’t spoken

with Mr. Lagomarsino for the past two years, but the Saturday before his death, he had just been sharing classic “Reagan and Lagomarsino stories” with a man who hired him as a ghost writer. Mr. Worthen said as a spiritual man, he didn’t believe it was a coincidence that Mr. Lagomarsino was on his mind last weekend. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, issued a statement following Mr. Lagomarsino’s death. He wrote, “I am saddened to hear of former Congressman

homelessness regarding temporary storage. “This is one small tool to help the city address a myriad of blight issues,” she said. “It is not new — it’s actually a local reinforcement of what is current state law. “We think that it helps us communicate to the community in areas of importance that we’re making sure we’re addressing, and it’s not meant to be punitive to any of the businesses. We expect to work with all of them to make sure they have their plans in place over the next few months, and it should be fairly business as usual for them.” email: gmccormick@newspress. com Bob Lagomarsino’s passing. Congressman Lagomarinso left a lasting impact on the Central Coast by championing the creation of the Channel Islands National Park and for his top notch constituent service, but these are just two notable achievements in a long legacy of public service. “His civil, bipartisan approach to politics is sorely missed in today’s Congress and I strive to bring that same spirit to my own service. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones, may his memory live on in the contributions he made to our Central Coast community and to our country.” Family members said Mr. Lagomarsino died peacefully at home. He was preceded in death by his wife, stepson and a grandson. He is survived by his daughter, stepson, four grandchildren and a great-grandson. The family asks that donations be made to the Channel Islands Park Foundation (online at www. ciparkfoundation.org/give-now/ or by mail to 1901 Spinnaker Drive, Ventura, CA 93001) or to Robert J. and Norma Lagomarsino Department of Archives and Special Collections care of the CSUCI Foundation (online at www.csuci.edu/giving/make-a-gift. htm or by mail to 1 University Dr., Camarillo, CA 93012).

The Alisal Guest Ranch and Resort is reopening its River Grill and Ranch Course Grill today, offering both outdoor dining and takeout options just in time for Valentine’s Day weekend. Both restaurants are operating for breakfast and lunch throughout the weekend, with plans to return to their “After Hours’’ specialty dining Feb. 18. River Grill will be open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday through Sunday, and the Ranch Course Grill will be open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday through Sunday. Director of Culinary Operations Chef Anthony Endy is offering his culinary specialties both in person and in two specialty packages over the weekend. The Valentine’s Day Picnic package is built for two and includes fried chicken, asparagus, tenderloin, biscuits, macrons, sparkling wine and flowers for $125. Pre-orders for this package can be placed through noon today. In addition, the Alisal’s River Grill will host a President’s Day Barbeque event from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. that can be ordered for pickup or enjoyed

on the restaurant’s outdoor patio. The menu will include Chef Endy’s famous Better than Bobby Flay’s steak sandwich, which secured his victory on Food Network’s “Beat Bobby Flay” last year, as well as the Oak Grilled Chicken Sandwich and Linguica Sandwich. “Our staff has been very eager to get back to work, and we’re thrilled to do patio dining again,” Chef Endy told the News-Press. After weeks of closure following the December lockdowns, Chef Endy said he is looking forward to this inaugural weekend. Both River Grill and Ranch Course Grill shut down completely through December and January, without offering options for takeout. With restrictions on outdoor dining now lifted, Chef Endy said he’s ready to get cooking and his staff is ready to serve. “Working with people and meeting with people is what I’m looking forward to most,” Chef Endy said. “That’s what you miss the most from work, and that’s what I love most about what I do — the people.” email: mhirneisen@newspress. com

LOPEZ, Ventura Morales

Our family mourns with tremendous sadness the passing of Ventura Morales López known affectionately to most as Benny Lopez. Husband, father, grandfather, and greatgrandfather, Benny passed away peacefully at his home in Santa Barbara on the morning of February 3rd, 2021 into the arms of our Lord and Savior. Benny was born on December 24, 1923 in Longmont, Colorado. He was the 6th child of 8 children born to Ventura López Solorio and Angela Fernanda Morales. Benny was the last surviving sibling of his family and lived an abundant life of 97 years. Benny is survived by his wife, Carmen Victoria López. They were married for 70 years. He is also survived by 3 children, 6 grandchildren, 6 great-grandchildren, and his half-siblings, Raul López, Elizabeth López, Francisco López, Elisa López, and Arturo López of Mexico City, Mexico. Benny and Carmen’s 3 children and immediate offspring include: Son Oswaldo D. López and wife Angela Carroll of Honolulu, HI. Daughter Cynthia Marie Castaneda and husband Richard Castaneda of Santa Barbara, CA and their 3 children Christina Castaneda Canon and husband Andrés Canon, Selina Castaneda Wimmel and husband Nicholas Wimmel, and Stephen Castaneda and Sydney Casler. Son Dr. Paul López and spouse Tracy Flores of Novato, CA and Paul’s 3 children James López and their 3 children, Saundra López and husband Carlos Hernandez Sr. and their 5 children, and AnnaAlicia Chief and husband Wakinyan “Luke” Chief. At the age of 10, Benny moved from Longmont, CO to Mexico with his father, mother and siblings due to conditions related to the Repatriation Act of 1938 and the Great Depression. At 17 years of age, Benny was recruited into Mexican military service EHFDXVH RI KLV DELOLW\ WR VSHDN ÁXHQWO\ LQ (QJOLVK DQG 6SDQLVK %HQQ\ ZDV DOVR DFFHSWHG WR WKH 8QLYHUVLGDG 1DFLRQDO $XWyQRPD GH 0p[LFR EXW WKH QRWLÀFDWLRQ RI KLV DFFHSWDQFH came one day after his induction into military service. After excelling at the West Point equivalent of military training in Mexico, Benny rose to become a special assistant to 3 military generals. In 1948, at the end of World War II, at the age of 22, Benny chose family pursuits over a military career, and returned to Santa Barbara, California to be with his mother, sister, and brother who had re-settled in Santa Barbara, CA during the war. In 1951, he married Carmen Victoria Moreno and moved to Dos Pueblos Ranch in the Santa Barbara region where he worked for 10 years.

During his free time, Benny was a passionate gardener, often seen working in his yard. He was honored by the Rose Society of America for discovering a species of rose native to Santa Barbara, which was aptly named after him, the “Benny Rose.” This rose continues Benny’s legacy and is often exchanged as a gift among those special and fortunate people who came to enjoy his magnetic personality. At his passing, he was surrounded by his wife, children, and grandchildren who will forever remember their grandfather with love and devotion. He will be dearly missed for his devotion to his family, sense of humor, and strong work ethic. May his life be remembered by all who knew him, and may he rest in peace for all eternity.

New take on David Crosby’s classic Local bass player Mai Leisz creates instrumental interpretation of ‘Guinnevere’ By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

ANNA WEBBER PHOTO

Mai Leisz, a Santa Barbara area resident, has toured as a bass player with David Crosby. She pays homage to the Santa Ynez Valley rock legend with her new cover of Mr. Crosby’s “Guinnevere.”

t was June 14, 2015. Everything was going terribly wrong that day in Stockholm for bass player Mai Leisz and singersongwriter Doug Seegers. When they tried to perform in the subway or on the street, the police kicked them out. And when they tried to go to Stockholm’s Old Town district, they took the wrong subway and got on the wrong street. “When we got to Old Town, after 10 minutes of playing, it started to rain,” Mrs. Leisz said. But suddenly everything went right. For one thing, her future husband walked by and met her. For another, that same man, guitarist Greg Leisz, was impressed with Mrs. Leisz’ and Mr. Seeger’s performance and introduced them to Jackson Browne, who was touring in Stockholm. “The next day, Doug and I went on stage with Jackson,” Mrs. Leisz, a Santa Barbara area resident, told the News-Press. “That started this whole whirlwind for me, coming from a tiny island in Estonia, ending up in Los Angeles and playing with all my musical heroes. It’s very humbling.” Mrs. Leisz, a native of Estonia, went on to play bass in tours since 2017 with Santa Ynez Valley rock legend David Crosby. That has led to her latest project: her new instrumental cover of the melodic and intricate Crosby, Stills & Nash classic “Guinnevere.” Mrs. Leisz, 32, is releasing the single today on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon. Napster and Deezer, where she expects downloads will be inexpensive. Mrs. Leisz rearranged the popular song for her fretless bass and recorded it with electric guitarist Michael Landau, drummer Gary Novak and Mr. Leisz, who played both the electric and acoustic guitars in the recording. Mrs. Leisz praised the original recording of the song from Crosby, Stills & Nash’s self-titled 1968 debut album. Mr. Crosby wrote the words and music for the song, which fans love for its peaceful yet poignant melody, distinct lyrics, and unexpected chords and time signatures. Mr. Crosby has said that the lyrics, which talks about Guinnevere’s golden hair and green eyes, refer to three women he knew: singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell; Mr.

Crosby’s girlfriend Christine Hinton, who died in 1969 in a collision; and a third woman he has declined to reveal. Mrs. Leiz noted that today, Mr. Crosby dedicates his performances of “Guinnevere” to his longtime wife Jan. The song remains a hit among fans and musicians. “I think there have been quite a few covers that include Miles Davis’ version from the ’70s,” Mrs. Leisz said. “But you know, every time I’ve played that song with Crosby — hundreds of times — the song always takes my breath away.” Previously, Mrs. Leisz had only released original music. But she said she wanted to pay homage to Mr. Crosby for being a life-changing force for her and decided “Guinnevere” was the obvious choice. “It’s an incredible composition, and the song has so much room for interpretation,” Mrs. Leisz said. “I really wanted to open it up a little and reharmonize a little. I took Crosby’s main melody. I tried to find chords that would work with the same melody. “I’m using the original material more than Miles Davis did in his version,” Mrs. Leisz said. “I wanted to write something that would stay true to and respectful of the original song, yet have my own handwriting in the arrangement.” She noted she wanted to emphasize the song’s distinct acoustic guitar sound. For that, she got help from Mr. Crosby, who sang and played the

acoustic guitar in the original 1968 recording. Mr. Crosby taught Mr. Leisz the guitar part, which Mrs. Leisz noted meant a lot to her husband. Mrs. Leisz’s love for music started at a young age. In fact, her mother tried to encourage that appreciation when she was pregnant with her. “My mom put earphones on her belly and played me Vivaldi,” said Mrs. Leisz, who was born on the island of Saaremaa in Estonia. “I started playing the violin at a very early age. I think I was 5 or 6 years old,” said Mrs. Leisz, who switched to the bass at age 16 when the bassist in her jazz band 2+2=5 quit. (Mrs. Leisz previously played violin in that group.) In 2010, she moved to Sweden and studied at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, where she earned her bachelor’s in 2014 and completed her studies for her master’s. In 2016, she was awarded the Alice Babs Jazz Stipendium, one of Sweden’s most prestigious jazz awards. While in Sweden, she played with various jazz and pop artists and formed her jazz-fusion band, MaiGroup, which released three albums. In 2015, she came to Mr. Crosby’s attention after Mr. Leisz played on Mrs. Leisz’s album “You,” which she recorded with MaiGroup. Mr. Leisz gave a copy of “You” to Mr. Crosby, who was impressed with her musicianship. That same year, Mr. Crosby’s son and producer, James Raymond, invited Mrs. Leisz to attend Crosby, Stills & Nash concert in Oslo, Norway, where she met Mr. Crosby backstage. Mrs. Leisz said she was nervous about meeting the rock legend. “I was probably shaking on the inside, but I tried to be cool on the outside,” she said. “I was probably scared to death. But Crosby has this amazing ability to make everyone feel so comfortable and welcome. As soon as we started talking, it felt like we had known each other for years.” Soon she was in the studio putting down the bass tracks for Mr. Crosby’s solo album “Sky Trails.” And in 2016, she co-wrote the album’s track, “Here It’s Almost Sunset” with Mr. Crosby, and the album was released in 2017. Mrs. Leisz continued her education with the Royal College of Music during her first tour with Mr. Crosby in 2017. She defended her master’s thesis on Skype on her laptop overnight while on the tour’s bus from Texas to Tennessee. “In the morning when we reached Please see leisz on B2

Continued from Page B1 Memphis, I got my degree.” Mrs. Leisz, who moved to the Santa Barbara area in 2018 and married Mr. Leisz that year, released five original singles in 2020 with her husband, Mr. Landau and Mr. Novak. She also has recently collaborated with Karla Bonoff, Richard Stekol, Bill Frisell, Charles Lloyd and Santa Barbara rock legend Michael McDonald, a former member of the Doobie Brothers. Mrs. Leisz said she has a lot of respect for rock history. “When I was just starting out my studies, I was listening to whatever the new stuff was, but I had a teacher who was always

telling me, ‘Go to the fountain.’ I went digging deep into all these legends. You start recognizing all the young people are copying them or getting inspiration or ideas from the earlier generation.” email: dmason@newspress.com

Children stand amazed by Tyrannosaurus rex in the “Prehistoric Forest” exhibit in 2019 at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. T. rex is back with the exhibit gracing the Mission Creek area outside the museum.

Run for the hills! It’s a T. rex! Fear not, these dinosaurs are here to educate, not terrify. The popular exhibit “Prehistoric Forest” is returning this month outside the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. They’re turning the wooded area at Mission Creek into a Jurassic park. That’s where you’ll find Tyrannosaurus rex, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Parasaurolopus and Euoplocephalus. The exhibit will open Feb. 17 for a preview for museum members, and everyone can start seeing the dinosaurs starting Feb. 20. The museum is located at 2559 Puesta del Sol. For safe distancing, attendance is limited, and reservations are required. To make one, go to sbnature.org/tickets. Masks are required for ages 3 and up, and the museum’s indoor exhibits remain closed. In 2019, “Prehistoric Forest” led to record-breaking numbers of guests at the museum. As soon as the dinosaurs left, people started asking when they would return. The dinosaurs came back Jan. 18 for their outdoor installation, and exhibits and facilities staff undertook the challenging task of installing the heavy animatronics while following new health and safety guidelines. In a statement, the museum said the process went smoothly, thanks to careful planning by Exhibits Lead Francisco Lopez. The animatronic dinosaurs are accompanied by plaques drafted in

consultation with Dr. Jonathan Hoffman, the Dibblee curator of earth science, and paleobiologist Jenna J. Rolle, who teaches dinosaur classes at Santa Barbara City College and works for the museum’s education division. Dr. Hoffman and Ms. Rolle are emphasizing the fact that paleontology is dynamic. Researchers are constantly updating what they know about the history of life, and in that spirit, some of the exhibit’s plaques are getting updated. For example, guests may remember the Ankylosaurus from the 2019 exhibit. Experts now say that it more closely resembles a relative, Euoplocephalus. The sign accompanying this dinosaur family — a mother and two juveniles — is getting an update. New research hasn’t led to the exhibit’s T. rex getting updated with feathers. But Ms. Rolle noted there is evidence for primitive feathers among the larger group of dinosaurs to which the T. rex belongs. Paleontologists don’t know whether all these species maintained feathers for life or only kept them as juveniles. “I like to wonder whether they looked cute and cuddly like little chicken chicks or silly and dorky like owl chicks,” Ms. Rolle said. Noted Dr. Hoffman, “A child visiting ‘Prehistoric Forest’ may be the future paleontologist who figures it out!’ ” In addition to “Prehistoric Forest,” another exhibit, “Dinorama: Miniatures Through the Mesozoic,” will run through April 25 in the museum’s Sprague Pavilion.

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS

“The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.” — Saint Augustine

ARIES — Aggressive people may interfere with your plans today, Aries, so don’t get too upset if things don’t work out the way you want them to. Let this be an exercise in learning how to think and act on your feet. Remember that you can play this game as well as others. Deliver an unexpected surprise right back and see how they deal with it. Perhaps you can learn something. TAURUS — It’s hard to keep your balance when a big rock suddenly falls on one side of the scale, Taurus. Resolving the matter isn’t as hard as you think, because this rock has been dropped there as a gift. Even though it might be shocking at first, there’s an important message in this surprise. The tricky part is figuring out what it is. GEMINI — Like a team of pickpockets in a crowd, a group may have its eyes on you and secretly scheme to take advantage of your innocence, Gemini. One may work to distract you with something playful and harmless, while the others work behind your back to secretly steal your valuables. Stay aware of yourself and your belongings at all times. CANCER — Opportunity is the name of the game for you, Cancer. Don’t turn out the lights before you make sure you’ve explored all your options today. Inspiration may come in a flash of unexpected thought, so make sure you have a pad and pencil handy. A good idea could be disguised as something insignificant, but if anyone is able to see the potential in something, it’s you. LEO — Today you may be asked to choose between the old and the new, Leo. It’s as if people are protesting in some manner and you’re being asked to join in the ranks of those wishing to see change. Make sure you honestly assess all the available information before you automatically dismiss the situation as foolish. You should seriously consider lending a hand to the fight. VIRGO — Your inner strength and courage are tremendous today. You will find that people naturally gravitate toward you, Virgo. Accept this flood of energy and put it to good use however you see fit. A spark of genius may hit you sometime during the day. It will have you up all night working on a +*#!2 +1$)"$ new invention. LIBRA — Wear the striped

shirt and polka-dot pants today, Libra. The more you clash with the outside world the better. You may feel wildly out of place at first, but you will begin to see the beauty, importance, and respect you hold by standing out from the crowd. This attitude change will do you good. You may see a whole new way of living. SCORPIO — If you don’t understand something, ask, Scorpio. If it looks different to you, ask why that is. Your curiosity is high, especially when it comes to the unconventional, and even more if it’s revolutionary. The rebel in you will feel new purpose, and you may be tempted to throw a stick in the spokes of an old carriage that continues to head down the same old boring path. SAGITTARIUS — You may be shaken to the core today by someone of great personal magnetism, Sagittarius. Maybe you feel as if you’re being overshadowed because of the grandiose ideas and mountains of information coming from this person. Perhaps you feel you’re too slow. Did you ever think that someone is going too quickly? Don’t automatically think that you’re the one who needs to change gears. CAPRICORN — Your internal computer just got upgraded today and your head is buzzing with all kinds of new information, Capricorn. The good news is that you should be able to process all these bytes at lightning speed. Act swiftly and with great confidence. You can do anything. You could even talk your way into the White House for dinner. AQUARIUS — You may feel a bit lonely today, Aquarius, even if there are people all around you. It may seem like everyone’s on a different plane. Maybe you think you have nothing in common with others - even those you generally feel closest to. You may be apprehensive about what they think of you after you tell them what you’re really thinking or feeling. Don’t let this stop you from making your thoughts known. PISCES — This is a climactic time for you, Pisces. All your yearly cycles have reached a critical juncture. You may feel as if you’re at a point of tremendous victory or terrible failure. Either way, it’s important that you look on this time as a celebration that you’ve made it this far. Make changes where necessary and continue to reevaluate your progress over the next few months.

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.
