Alisos Canyon earns AVA designation

Amber Melgoza overcame dyslexia on her way to pro basketball in Italy’s top division

By JORGE MERCADO NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

With more than 275 wineries and impressive terrains throughout, Santa Barbara County is one of the most diverse grape growing regions in the world. On Tuesday, the area located between Santa Ynez and Santa Maria, known as Alisos Canyon, became designated as the region’s newest American Viticultural Area by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. This marks the seventh region in Santa Barbara County to earn AVA status, which is a designated wine grape growing region in the United States distinguishable by its geography. “Congratulations to Santa Barbara and congratulations to Alisos Canyon on their AVA designation. We invite you to come down and explore these amazing regions and the seventh AVA in Santa Barbara County,” said Wes Hagen, the winemaker at J. Wilkes Wines in Santa Maria

Valley. Mr. Hagen was the lead petitioner trying to get Alisos Canyon AVA designated. In fact, he was also responsible for the AVA approvals for three AVA’s in Santa Barbara County — Santa Rita Hills (2000), Happy Canyon (2009) and Ballard Canyon (2013). The other three regions in the county to have AVA status include Santa Maria Valley (1981), Santa Ynez Valley (2013) and the Los Olivos District (2016). According to a press release from the Santa Barbara Vintners, the Alisos Canyon region “has long been revered for its highquality fruit with its unique affinity towards Rhone-style varietals,” helping it earn its AVA status. According to Mr. Hagen’s petition, it also falls “perfectly within the Goldilocks Rhone Zone, a phenomenon that has proven itself true over three decades of winegrowing history in Santa Barbara.” “If you follow any of the major watersheds out of the Pacific Please see wine on A2

Recess at Vieja Valley School never came too soon for young Amber Melgoza. It’s where life made the most sense. “I’d rush out to play ‘Knockout’ with all the boys, be the first one on the court,” she said, referring to a playground variation of basketball. “And I wouldn’t lose.” Jaime and Robin Melgoza’s little girl grew up to break the girls all-time scoring record at Santa Barbara High in 2016. And by last March, the 5-foot-10 guard had scored 1,717 points at the University of Washington to rank eighth in the school record books. It was enough to earn her a pro contract in Italy’s top division. “I’ve always dreamed of playing basketball professionally, ever since I was a kid,” said Melgoza, who will leave next week for the town of Battipaglia in southern Italy.

But while scoring big numbers came fast and easy, reading words came slow and hard. Dyslexia was the toughest opponent that Melgoza ever had to face. “I had to go to a different classroom when I was in elementary school, which was the most embarrassing part for me,” she said. “I really didn’t even know why at the time. It’s hard for parents to explain that to a kid. “When I was younger, a lot of people didn’t think I’d be able to do the things that I’m doing now at 22. People will always doubt you in life, but that just made me more determined to prove what I could do.” She did that by making Washington’s Dean’s List four times. She was also selected to two Pac-12 All-Academic teams before graduating a quarter early with a bachelor’s degree in communications and a minor in diversity.

Much like the Fourth of July weekend, county health officials are hoping that foot traffic at local beaches will be at a premium for Labor Day weekend. The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department issued a health officer order Wednesday announcing beach restrictions for all county beaches from Sept. 4 to Sept. 7. The official health order, authored by county health officer Dr. Henning Ansorg, states that the closures will be in effect from 12:01 a.m. Sept. 4 to 11:59 p.m. Sept. 7. Activities such as sitting, lying, standing, sunbathing, sight-seeing, picnicking, and all other non-

exercise, passive, or sedentary activities on beach parkways will all be prohibited during the busy holiday weekend. In addition, items used for sitting or lying on the beach are prohibited for use on beaches, such as umbrellas, shade structures, tents, barbeque grills, sand or beach toys, coolers and beach chairs. “Disease transmission rates have been consistently improving in the last few weeks, yet this metric still remains above the threshold outlined by the California Department of Public Health for being removed from the County Monitoring List,” health officials said in a news release.

Here’s the good news about jobs

he Department of employs 2,000 people from the Labor released the ranks of unemployment benefit weekly unemployment recipients while another employer claims numbers (like Boeing) terminates 1,000 Thursday morning, and, employees that same week who as is often the case with Trumpthen make initial claims for era financial data, the media is unemployment insurance benefits. emphasizing the most negative The impact would be to increase news and burying the initial claims by 1,000 good news.  even though the total And, as usual, there number of people receiving is good news. While unemployment benefits initial claims are still would decline by 1,000. over 1 million, total The point is that if you only claims for traditional look at the initial claims unemployment benefits numbers, you may miss are actually down, and the positive news that the ANDY PUZDER way down. overall situation has vastly Keep in mind that improved. initial claims numbers A case in point, for the show only new applications for week ending Aug. 15, initial claims unemployment insurance benefits. exceeded 1 million after dropping They do not show whether the below that number a week earlier. total number of people receiving NBC ran a piece declaring that unemployment benefits has “Initial jobless claims rise above 1 increased or decreased. Those million again, after two weeks of numbers come out a week later declines.â€? than the initial claims numbers But this morning the and can tell a far different story. Department of Labor released the Let’s say that, in one week, continuing jobless claims numbers an employer (like Amazon) for last week and, despite the much

touted addition of over 1 million initial claims, total claims actually declined by 223,000. While some outlets will mention it, don’t spend much time looking for a headline declaring that “Continuing claims for unemployment insurance drop by 223,000.â€? In fact, while initial claims have generally been near or above 1 million for months now, the total number of traditional claims has dropped from 25 million in the first week of May to 14.5 million last week. That’s still too high, but it is also a drop of 42 percent in 15 weeks with many states still in partial lockdowns and the virus still with us. By any measure, that is significant progress. It is also consistent with the historic addition of 9.5 million jobs and a 4.5 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate (from 14.7% to 10.2%) over the past three months. Despite what you may read elsewhere, thanks to President Trump’s economic policies, the economy is surging ahead despite the virus and despite the

Democrats’ pessimism.  One interesting question is how these continuing claims numbers foretell the unemployment rate and job creation numbers for August, which come out next Friday. What we know so far is that during the first two weeks of August, the number of people receiving unemployment insurance benefits declined by 945,000 or 6 percent. That could augur well for the month’s employment numbers. We’ll see how the next two weeks look, but you read it first here. So, when you read this morning’s headlines from, for example, Yahoo Finance — “Another 1.006 million Americans filed new unemployment claims last weekâ€? — or NBC — “Weekly jobless claims decline slightly to 1 millionâ€? — keep in mind that those headlines do not tell the whole story, which is actually very good.

o the Santa Barbara Unified school board is concerned about safe gun storage. Wouldn’t it make more sense to let law enforcement focus on storing guns while the schools focus on teaching weapon safety and use? If the last few months have retaught “usâ€? anything, it’s that we must take responsibility for defending our own persons and property. This responsibility isn’t new. The founders of the United States made this an indelible part of their instructions to us and gave us the tools to do it, as memorialized in the Second

Amendment. Self-reliance was, and is, our mandate. History abounds with the unpleasant results of losing sight of the importance of selfreliance. God bless America and Americans. Frank M. Lick Santa Barbara

Exemptions allowed for wearing masks

I

see much concern expressed about people who are not wearing masks, but I do not see any acknowledgement that there are many people who are exempt, under California law, from having to wear a mask, due to either

young age or various types of disabilities that preclude wearing a mask. There are, in fact, eight specific categories pertaining to people who are exempt. Information about these exemptions may be found at: cdph.ca.gov/ Programs/CID/DCDC/CDPH%20 Document%20Library/COVID-19/ Guidance-for-Face-Coverings_0618-2020.pdf. Exemptions start on page 2. I am one of those people with a disability that precludes wearing a face mask. Yet, no one seems to have been given this information, so I get a hassle about it wherever I go. Actually, people who hassle me about not wearing a mask are breaking the law. I have

Fiesta’s first Spirit

Santa Barbara resident Lia Parker recalls being in parades and becoming a dancer By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

L

ia Parker, the first Spirit of Fiesta, still has a Coke bottle and the wrapper of a chocolate bar that she received as the grand marshal during last year’s Old Spanish Days Fiesta Parade. As she recalled, some man rushed through the throng of spectators to hand her the chocolate and soda. “I just couldn’t believe it,� she told the News-Press by phone. The Santa Barbara resident’s surprise was due to the gesture’s reference back to her childhood. In fact, it referred to the very reason she decided to be the first Spirit of Fiesta in 1949. Ms. Parker’s mother, originally from Italy, normally wouldn’t let her daughter have chocolate or Coke. She would, however, if Ms. Parker danced as the Spirit of Fiesta. How exactly Ms. Parker became the first Spirit escapes her memory, but she believes it was either through the De Cota Dance Studio, where she learned to dance, or through her mother. Owned by people of Portuguese descent, the De Cota Dance Studio taught some Spanish dances to its students, so it’s possible one of the Fiesta organizers stopped by the studio to see its talent pool, from which Ms. Parker was chosen. If not that, Ms. Parker’s mother knew one of the festival organizers, so it’s possible that he saw one of her dance recitals, leading to her getting chosen. However, one thing that is absolutely clear to Ms. Parker is how she started dancing, which was also thanks to her mother. At the age of 9, Ms. Parker broke her leg in three places after she tried jumping over a short hedge, got her foot stuck on a branch and fell. The leg failed to heal

properly, and her mother took a counterintuitive approach to the problem by putting Ms. Parker in ballet class. She thought dance lessons would strengthen her daughter’s bad leg. “That’s the way my mom was,� Ms. Parker said. “She thought it would build me up.� When Ms. Parker finally was chosen as Spirit of Fiesta, her first reaction was “I have to dance an entire mile?� She did just that and all the while tried to keep enough distance between her and the military marching band behind her playing John Philip Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes Forever.� The famous military march wasn’t at all conducive to Spanish dancing and easily could have thrown Ms. Parker off if the band’s music got too close, so she and the flower girls accompanying her did their best to walk a bit faster than the band. “We just tried to outwalk them and make it work,� she recalled. Today, the Spirit and Junior Spirit dress in pristine white dresses while dancing in the parade, but Old Spanish Days hadn’t yet decided on that choice of wardrobe for the Spirit when Ms. Parker became the first. The only outfit her mother could arrange was what Ms. Parker called “a peasant skirt and peasant blouse.� “I was worried that it wasn’t appropriate, but that’s all I had,� she said. Whereas Ms. Parker’s mother pushed her toward dancing and loved her being involved with it, her brother and father didn’t care one iota, according to Ms. Parker. In those days there was a clear divide between what men did and what women did, so her father and brother wrote it off as “girls’ stuff� and didn’t even see her perform as Spirit of Fiesta. That her parents had such Please see SPIRIT on A6

spirit

Continued from Page A5 different levels of interest in her dancing isn’t too surprising considering how different they were as people. Ms. Parker’s father was a laidback New Englander who attended Harvard and her mother was an Italian immigrant with a fiery personality. Ms. Parker pithily said of this difference, “Opposites attract.â€? Her dancing career continued into college, where she studied at the school for New York City Ballet on a scholarship. However, she never went professional as she started to lose interest in dancing and wasn’t up for the difficult life of performing on the road. On top of that, ballet companies back then were using very tall dancers, and Ms. Parker was short. Her years of dancing also took a physical toll on her body. She developed knee troubles in the leg she broke as a child and other health issues that she decided to keep private. “Most of us want to have it all, and there’s a price for it. There’s a price for everything,â€? Ms. Parker said.

Ms. Parker agreed to be the first Spirit after her mother promised her to reward her with a Coke and a chocolate bar.

Rather than dancing professionally, Ms. Parker became a caretaker and started her career working in Mexico. Eventually she returned to Santa Barbara to take care of her ailing parents. After many years away from anything related to the Fiesta, she reconnected with Old Spanish Days in 2013 through her retirement home Garden Court. One day at the retirement home, a woman whose

daughter was that year’s Spirit of Fiesta overheard that Ms. Parker was the original Spirit, bringing her back in contact with the organization. 2019 was the 70th anniversary of the Spirit of Fiesta, and for the occasion Ms. Parker was chosen as grand marshal for the Fiesta Parade. Recalling that day, Ms. Parker said she did what one does when acting as an ambassador, including everyone in the celebration and being “loving to everybody.â€? As for that man who cut through the crowd to hand her the Coke and chocolate, Ms. Parker was incredibly moved by his gesture. “It touched me so much, that’s why I still have the bottle in my drawer and the paper.â€? email: jgrega@newspress.com

De la Guerra St. The outdoor exhibit, which features Fiesta-themed postcards, runs into September in the museum’s courtyard. For more information, go to www.sbhistorical.org.

LIFE

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS

“I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.� — Oscar Wilde

ARIES — Travel of any kind might be virtually impossible today, Aries. Airports could be jammed, flights delayed, and planes plagued with mechanical problems. If you’re traveling by car, expect road construction and backed-up traffic. Stay home if you can. If you must travel, take plenty of music and books to keep you occupied while you’re waiting. You’re likely to go nuts otherwise. TAURUS — This isn’t a good day to invest in anything. Don’t spend much time working on speculative projects, Taurus, and don’t put your money into anything but gold, land, or blue-chip stocks and bonds. You probably wouldn’t lose everything, but it would be a long time before you saw a profit. Concentrate on what you know is secure now. There will be better days to wheel and deal. GEMINI — A love partner could be gloomy today, Gemini. This might be the kind of day when no matter how many times you draw your mate’s attention to the doughnut, he or she still sees only the hole. The glass is always half empty, never half full. Your beloved will probably be this way all day. Don’t let it drive you crazy. Try to see the humor in it. That will help you, anyway. CANCER —You tend to be curious, Cancer, and you’re always trying to learn more about your many interests. But today you could be eager to research a subject but be unable to find any information about it no matter how many libraries or databases you explore. Don’t bother with it today. You’ll only get frustrated. Watch some television. At least you’ll get a few laughs. LEO — The need to attend to business or networking obligations disguised as parties could get to you today, Leo. You may have been forced to attend too many of these recently, and now there are even more coming up. You dread going to a place you don’t want to go, eating food you hate, talking pleasantly with people you can’t stand. Decline if you can. Life’s too short. VIRGO — Your home could be empty today, Virgo. Other household members may be away and you could find it depressing. Instead of enjoying the solitude, you could feel like the walls are closing in around you. The only answer is to go out for a while. Take a walk or visit some bookstores or antique shops, if possible. Don’t go home until +*#!2 +1$)"$ you’re too tired to do anything else.

Try to have fun. LIBRA — Someone close to you might be uncharacteristically silent today, Libra. Something is bothering them terribly, and they don’t seem to want to talk about it. You’re willing to listen or help, but don’t try to coax your friend into sharing. Use your intuition to sense what’s going on and do what you can to alleviate the situation. Your efforts won’t go unnoticed or unappreciated. SCORPIO — Financial worries might come up today, Scorpio. You may check your bank balance and find that you have little money. This might come as a shock, because you thought there was plenty there. Before you panic, ask whoever’s in charge at the bank to double-check the records. It’s probably a computer error. It shouldn’t take long to correct, and you’ll be able to breathe a sigh of relief. SAGITTARIUS — Today you might be so gloomy that you don’t even want to get up. It might not be a good idea to stay home, however. Try to find some tasks to distract you. At some point during the day, get out in the open air and take a walk, preferably through a park and near water, if possible. You’ll get the endorphins going and lift your spirits considerably. CAPRICORN — Any work today could require a higher level of concentration than you can muster, Capricorn. You might lapse into daydreams, think about personal matters, and feel guilty because you aren’t doing what you’re supposed to be doing. On days like this it’s best to focus on routine tasks you can do automatically. That way, your mind can wander. That’s the only way you’ll make it through today. AQUARIUS — Today your creative impulses could seem blocked, Aquarius. You might be trying to reach your own or someone else’s deadline. You may feel the need to get some work done, while your muse seems to have gone on vacation. If your deadline is official, phone whoever’s in charge and ask for an extension. You won’t be happy with the results if you force yourself to work today. PISCES — A friend who planned to stop by tonight might not show up, Pisces. You may worry since this person isn’t one to blow you off. Don’t imagine accidents or disasters. The culprit’s probably traffic. Phone your friend. If you don’t reach him or her, leave a message to call you. Your friend is probably fine, but you may have to postpone your visit for another day.

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.

Allan Hancock creates Black Student Union

Continued from Page A1 “I got my degree from one of the top-10 schools in the country, and it was an unbelievable ride,” Melgoza said. “I loved every second of every challenge. You’re always going to face challenges in your life.” Sports have always been her release, whether it was riding bikes or playing football. At age 6, she beat an all-boys field of competitors to win a national BMX race in Kentucky. By 11, she was quarterbacking the flag football team at Vieja Valley. Her younger brother Buddy is now the starting quarterback at Bishop Diego High. Her older sister Candace played soccer, and Amber dabbled in that sport for a while. But she felt most free when playing basketball. “I knew that when I’d go onto the court, I wouldn’t have anything to worry about,” Melgoza said. “I could just have fun with what I was doing.” Her father, a contractor who coached football at Santa Barbara High, made sure to equip his daughter’s dream. “He built a sport court just outside my bedroom, and I’d pretty much be out there every single day, getting up shots,” she said. “I’m very grateful for that. “He also bought me a shooting machine when I was in high school, and I was constantly on that, too.” Melgoza’s passion did get her into trouble with the neighbors late at night. “That actually just happened,” she said. “I was shooting outside and didn’t realize how late it was. The bouncing ball can be noisy, but I have my headphones on and can’t hear anything. “It was like 11:30 at night, way past everybody’s bedtime.” She made an early impact at Santa Barbara High, gaining CIFSouthern Section 3AA Player of the Year honors as a sophomore. She averaged 22.3 points to lead coach Andrew Butcher’s Dons to the division championship and the school’s first trip ever to the state finals. Melgoza scored a school-record 1,015 points (33.5 per game) the following year and broke another

mark by netting 50 in a playoff game against Summit High. Only three other girls in section history — a group that includes Basketball Hall of Famer Cheryl Miller — have ever eclipsed 1,000 in a season. Her success went hand-in-hand with Bolden Brace, a classmate who led Santa Barbara’s boys team to the CIF-SS 2A crown in 2016. Their fathers, Jaime Melgoza and Billy Brace, kept their families close after having played football together at Santa Barbara High. “Bolden and I have been best friends ever since we were born,” Amber said. “We’d constantly work out with each other, play pickup games and shoot with each other. It’s pretty cool having somebody who’s as competitive as I am for a best friend.” Brace, who recently completed a successful basketball career at Northeastern University, signed a pro contract last week to play in The Netherlands. “He’s only going to be like two hours away,” Melgoza said. “It’s like only a $60 plane ride from Italy.” Melgoza averaged 26.3 points per game as a senior at Santa Barbara High before heading off to Washington. She admitted that her first year in Seattle “was a struggle.” She played barely eight

minutes per game on a veteran team that advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16. And then there was the dyslexia. “They’d throw 50 different plays at me,” she recalled. “I’d be sitting there, not really knowing what’s happening. That got me into trouble a lot. I needed things to be more visual because it takes my mind longer to read through it than others. “I was a good player when I was let to play with a free mind.” Melgoza got that chance when Jody Wynn took over as coach the next season, ranking second in the Pac-12 with a 19.0-point average. She eventually became only the third player in school history to score at least 500 points in three seasons, making the All-Pac-12 team each time. “Amber leaves UW as one of the greatest players in Husky history and has a long and bright pro career ahead,” Wynn said recently. “There is no doubt in my mind that Amber has what it takes to play in the WNBA, and this is a great first step in her professional basketball journey.” Melgoza’s career was reaching a crescendo when she scored 22 points with five assists on Senior Day to help beat eighth-ranked UCLA, 74-68. “I had like 35 people from Santa Barbara come up for that,” she

pointed out. She scored 30 more points in the Huskies’ Pac-12 Tournament opener in Las Vegas, but Utah pulled out a 72-63 victory to end their season. “It was very hard not knowing when I’d play next,” Melgoza said. “A week and a half after that game, everything was shut down because of the pandemic. “I wanted to get drafted (by the WNBA) and see if I could get into a training camp, but nothing was happening.” But she plugged away, putting up shots on her backyard court and working out at the P3 training facility “every single day.” And now her next game will be played halfway around the world. “Ever since I was a little girl, with this learning disability, I’ve had to learn how to figure things out, what’s best for me and what’s not best for me,” Melgoza said. “I’m now going to have to figure out a lot more things, like what to eat, and the language, and putting myself in their world. “But I’ve been through so much adversity in my life, I know I can handle this.” She plans to take her best shot, and it usually goes in. email: mpatton@newspress.com
