San Marcos High School, along with the other schools in the Santa Barbara Unified School District, will open its campus on Jan. 19 to teach students in-person in a hybrid model.

In-person learning SB Unified hopes to start hybrid model Jan. 19

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Representatives from the Santa Barbara Unified School District and the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department reviewed the methods of creating a safe school environment for inperson learning and answered questions in a virtual town hall Thursday. There were two town halls, one at noon in English with Spanish interpretation and one at 6 p.m. in Spanish with English interpretation. This week, parents of students in the district must designate whether they’d like to enroll their students in the hybrid model or stay online starting Jan. 19. They have the option to change their minds next week if they would like. “If we’re in the red tier, we will open Jan. 19,” Superintendent Hilda Maldonado said. She said that the district will hold a meeting on Jan. 5 to revisit and continue to monitor, where “we will know more and make different decisions if we need to.” The district’s hybrid model groups students into A, B and C. Group A attends campus Monday and Thursday; group B attends on Tuesday and Friday; and group C is always at home. All groups will meet together remotely on Wednesdays. Three high school students in the district spoke at the town hall, saying that as long as students remain safe and follow guidelines, returning to in-person learning will be good for students’ mental health. The Public Health Department requires the following for inperson learning: a reopening plan for every school, face coverings worn at all times by students and staff, physical distance inside and outside the classroom, hygiene measures being taught and

reinforced, frequent cleaning procedures, daily monitoring of signs and symptoms, and a plan in place if a student or staff member tests positive for COVID-19. While there will be more specific youth sports guidance in the next few weeks, students currently will not be able to participate in close contact sports such as basketball, football, volleyball and etc., according to Public Health officials. Only physical conditioning and fitness is allowed, where students can maintain the six-foot distance. Dr. Van Do-Reynoso, the director of the Public Health Department, said the county is working to increase available days at the Goleta testing site, obtain a traveling team to visit different schools and expand the existing three Public Health testing sites.

California passes five propositions By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

RAFAEL MALDONADO/NEWS-PRESS

During a virtual town hall Thursday, students said returning to class in person at schools such as Santa Barbara High School will benefit young people’s mental health.

California voters have approved five of the 12 statewide propositions. That’s according to the unofficial numbers with the majority of the ballots having been processed. Election results are still subject to change throughout the canvass period as vote-by-mail ballots, provisional ballots (including conditional voter registration provisional ballots) and other ballots are tallied. However, as of Thursday, California passed propositions 14, 17, 19, 22 and 24. Santa Barbara County voted “yes” to three of those five: 17, 22 and 24. Proposition 17 restores voting rights upon completion of a prison term to individuals who have been disqualified from voting while serving a prison term.

The statewide results showed approximately 59% of the state voting in favor of Proposition 17, with 6,984,786 “yes” votes. In Santa Barbara County, more than 60% voted for it, with 91,932 “yes” votes. Proposition 22 classifies appbased drivers (such as Uber and Lyft) as “independent contractors” rather than “employees,” providing independent-contractor drivers other compensation, unless certain criteria are met. There were 6,876,616 “yes” votes statewide, accounting for 58% of voters, and 79,891 Santa Barbara County voters voted “yes,” accounting for 53%. Finally, Proposition 24 permits consumers to prevent businesses from sharing personal information, correct inaccurate personal information and limit businesses’ use of “sensitive personal information,” including precise geolocation, race, ethnicity Please see propositions on A8

why this is happening,” she said. “While we won’t be Draconian, we are going to provide safety.” For students with severe medical needs who may not be able to wear a mask or learn properly with one, Dr. Wageneck said that they will work in smaller cohorts and that the district will address those issues on a case-bycase basis. Superintendent Maldonado said that for the most part, kids feel natural wearing a mask and understand it’s a part of life now. A question was asked regarding specific data released per school. Paige Batson, the deputy director of Public Health, said while the department will provide specific data on outbreaks, it won’t specifically name people,

Children in third grade and above are required to wear face coverings all day except when eating or exerting themselves in physical activity, and younger children are strongly encouraged to wear them. If students do not comply, they are not permitted to remain at school, but school district officials said they want to make sure students understand why they need to wear them before consequences are enforced. Dr. Frann Wageneck, the assistant superintendent for student services for Santa Barbara Unified, said mask exemptions will be “very, very rare events” requiring medical approval. “We have to work with our students to have them understand the importance and really look at

Former Vice President and Democratic candidate Joe Biden is leading in the presidential race against incumbent President Donald Trump. As of Thursday night, Mr. Biden had received 253 electoral votes, according to Reuters, compared to Mr. Trump’s 214. The Associated Press’ map shows Mr. Biden with 264 votes as the AP has already called Arizona for the former vice president. However, a reporting error from Wednesday claiming that 98% of Arizona’s votes had been counted was later shown to be incorrect, throwing the state’s status into question. As of 5:50 p.m. PST Thursday, Reuters had Mr. Biden ahead in Arizona with a lead of two percentage points and 88% of votes counted. Nevada is also a close race with Mr. Biden leading by .9% with 89% of the vote counted. Mr. Trump’s advantageous spread in Georgia has closed dramatically to the point where

he and Mr. Biden were practically neck and neck. With 99% of the votes counted, Mr. Trump has 49.4% while Mr. Biden is only a tenth of a percentage point behind him at 49.3%. The president currently holds a more comfortable lead in North Carolina, holding 50% of the vote compared to Mr. Biden’s 48.6% with 99% of the votes counted. Pennsylvania is currently leaning in President Trump’s favor by .7%, with 94% of the state’s votes counted, and is also one of a number of states in which the president’s campaign has filed lawsuits. According to Reuters, the president’s campaign lost court rulings in Georgia and Michigan. The campaign alleged in the Georgia case that 53 late-arriving ballots were mixed with ontime ballots and in the Michigan case requested that votes stop being counted until Republican poll watchers were granted “meaningful access” to watch the votes get tabulated.

Steppenwolf front man’s noteworthy cause John Kay performs to help Lobero Theatre By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

J

ohn Kay was born to be wild and born to be a hero for wildlife. Now fans are learning that the Steppenwolf front man was born to be something else. A Lobero supporter. The Santa Barbara theater has lost $1 million since closing its doors to audiences to limit the spread of COVID-19, and Mr. Kay, who lives in Montecito and performed last year at a Lobero concert, is hoping to raise a lot of money to help the theater through a virtual concert. Known for hits such as “Born to Be Wild,” Mr. Kay was recently filmed singing and playing his acoustic guitar during a solo concert on the Lobero stage without an audience. Fans can watch it beginning at 8 p.m. Nov. 13, and proceeds will go to the Lobero. Mr. Kay said the concert will remain up at lobero.org for 72 hours after that. Viewers can watch it for $15 and donate additional money to help the Lobero. (A portion also will go to the National Independent Venue Association.) “In my opinion, the Lobero is a little community treasure. I’m very fond of the place and the people who run it,” Mr. Kay told the News-Press. “I hope Santa Barbara will man the decks and keep this very important venue alive for us. Who knows how long this (the pandemic) is going to last?” Mr. Kay said the concert was recorded, rather than scheduled for a live performance, to avoid technical glitches. He stressed that he was thrilled with how the Lobero crew filmed him and edited the footage, which begins with a drone shot of the theater. “They did a marvelous job,” Mr. Kay said. “Three different cameras were set up from different angles, so it’s not just looking at me standing in one spot for 70 minutes without any changes. “I was happy to do this,” he said. He said plenty of social

distancing was maintained during the filming and that everyone wore masks, except for himself when he was singing. Mr. Kay stressed it was important to him to help the Lobero and musicians who need venues like it for their concerts. “I had a number of acoustic solo

performances scheduled this year that had to be canceled because of the virus, but I’m not out there trying to build a career, nor do I have to go out there to make a living,” Mr. Kay said. “For way too many performers, singers/ songwriters, performing is their bread and butter.”

Mr. Kay said he plans to perform his original songs as well as blue standards. He’s a fan of Muddy Waters and other greats. But don’t expect him to play “Born to Be Wild.” He explained it just wouldn’t work for him to perform it as a solo piece on an acoustic guitar

without a band and compared that to messing with a Beethoven classic. “I would not want to hear ‘Ode to Joy’ on a kazoo.’” But Mr. Kay said that his new Lobero concert features personal songs that mean a lot to him, such as “Enough For Today.” “It’s a song that I wrote about

the power of music, which I experienced as a young boy when my mother took me to hear an all-male Russian choir called Don Cossacks,” said Mr. Kay, who was born in Tilsit, East Prussia, Germany. Please see kay on A4

History of water in Santa Barbara Local geologist’s new book explores local resources By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

ver his four-decade career working as a geologist and hydrogeologist through his geological consulting firm Hoover Consulting, Santa Barbara resident Mike Hoover has learned a great deal about local water resources and is spending his retirement years getting the information he knows into books. In his latest book, “Drought & Flood: The History of Water in Santa Barbara and Montecito,” Mr. Hoover argues two primary theses: That Santa Barbara has been short of water for hundreds of years with very few respites of sufficient water, and that putting a measure for desalination on the same ballot as the State Water Project in 1991 was a “horrible mistake.” The geologist told the NewsPress that because he worked in the field of water resources for so many years, writing the book didn’t take very long. There were some aspects of the book’s subject matter that he had to research, however. These include the contents of the book’s first section exploring the geologic history of the area that is now Santa Barbara County, and early examples of water use from people such as the Chumash Indians and Franciscans of the

Santa Barbara Mission. Another subject he had to look into extensively was climate. “I didn’t know much about climate, and that’s one I had to research quite a bit,” he said. Illustrating his book’s argument that drought in Santa Barbara is a norm and wet cycles are the exception is its chapter on drought response measures such as dams. According to its section on the creation of Bradbury Dam, which forms the reservoir Lake Cachuma, the dam was created to meet Santa Barbara’s water needs when it was determined that the Gibraltar Dam wouldn’t accomplish this like expected. “In 1920, it seemed that Gibraltar Dam would address all of Santa Barbara’s water needs in perpetuity. Because of stiltation and drought, Gibraltar Lake was drying up in less than one decade,” it read. According to Mr. Hoover, when the Cachuma Project was completed in 1953, it was widely thought that it too would be a permanent answer to the area’s water shortage. That, of course, turned out to not be true. “Everybody thought we were done when we filled Lake Cachuma, but they were wrong,” he said. At present, Mr. Hoover believes that Santa Barbara is in good shape as far as water supply is Please see water on A4

“Their voices and those ancient melodies moved me to tears,� he said. “It was the beginning of me comprehending the power of music.� Mr. Kay’s love for music grew after he came to the U.S. “It was the early ’60s during the folk music revival, and I was like so many others with an acoustic guitar, a young guy, and I was really influenced by and followed in the footsteps of the masters of the blues, singers/songwriters who had something to say,� Mr. Kay said. “You’ve got to remember that this was a time when the draft was in full effect,� he said, referring to the Vietnam War. “The civil rights situation was grim.� Mr. Kay was performing in coffee houses and folk music clubs when he joined a Canadian band, the Sparrows. Members of the Sparrows and others started Steppenwolf in the summer of 1967. And the 1969 movie “Easy Rider� helped to propel Steppenwolf to success. The band’s famous song, “Born to Be Wild,� was in the movie starring Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper, and Mr. Kay noted the song has been the “gift that keeps giving.� “It’s a song that has a life of its own, way beyond Steppenwolf,� Mr. Kay said, noting that people are aware of the song even if they

don’t recall the band’s name. He noted NASA has played “Born to Be Wild� to wake up space shuttle crews and that the agency has broadcast it from rovers on Mars. Mr. Kay performed “Born to Be Wild� last year with a band led by T-Bone Burnett during the 50th anniversary screening of “Easy Rider� at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. After the movie, he and the band played an upbeat Steppenwolf hit, “Magic Carpet Ride.� “It was a song that came together in unplanned and unforeseen ways,� Mr. Kay said. “Our bass player had this little riff. He would play it at every sound check and when we were messing around. It wasn’t a song.� One time in the recording studio, the rest of Steppenwolf spontaneously jammed with the bass player when he was playing the riff, Mr. Kay said. The producer liked the sound and

wanted to record it. Mr. Kay took home a recording of the track. “I wrote the lyrics and melody in 20 minutes and recorded the vocals the next day,� he said. “There was a long jam on the track that was just lying there, this pulsating rhythm track,� Mr. Kay said. “Michael, the guitarist and I, overdubbed it with what I can only describe as instrument torture. “It was just like Jimi Hendix. We had a bunch of sounds that we coaxed out of our instruments, our electric guitars, mixed together, and it gave the whole track a sonic identity.� Steppenwolf worked with Bill Cooper, the recording engineer, and completed “Magic Carpet Ride.� Mr. Kay said everyone liked the results. “We said, ‘That’s it. If that’s not a hit, I’m going to become a plumber.’� There was no need to change careers. “When ‘Born to Be Wild’ went off the charts, ‘Magic Carpet Ride’ came up to take its place in the top three,� Mr. Kay said. Like “Born to Be Wild,� “Magic Carpet Ride� has a space connection. Zefram Cochrane (James Cromwell), the inventor of warp drive, played the song when he flew a spaceship, the Phoenix, in “Star Trek: First Contact� (1996). Back on Earth, Mr. Kay and his wife, Jutta Maue-Kay, have helped the environment through

their Maue Kay Foundation. Today their nonprofit supports 17 nonprofits ranging from Greenpeace to Orangutan Foundation International and The Nature Conservancy. Mr. Kay and his wife have gone around the world to see the nonprofits’ good works. His encounters with animals have varied from feeding a bottle of milk to an orphaned baby elephant to holding a baby orangutan on his arms. His love for wildlife will be evident during the Nov. 13 Lobero concert. He will sing his original song, “Kindred Spirits.� “It’s dedicated to those who have dedicated their lives to preserving our remaining wildlife in the world,� Mr. Kay said. “It’s particularly dedicated to the memory of the almost 2,000 rangers who have been killed by poachers trying to get rhino horns and elephant ivories.� Mr. Kay said meaningful music is important to him and mattered a lot to Steppenwolf, which wrapped up its long career in 2018. He said music such as their 1969 album “Monster� continues to resonate with fans today. “It was more than sonic wallpaper. It was more than I danced with Peggy Sue at the high school prom. “It was that kind of connection with the listener that went fairly deep.� email: dmason@newspress.com

Continued from Page A3 concerned because of the Charles E. Meyer Desalination Plant, which was reactivated in 2017 after more than decades of sitting idle. The book explains that the $30 million desalination plant was a victim of “the cyclic nature of Santa Barbara’s weather.� Before the plant was constructed, Santa Barbara had been in seven years of drought. The 15 years after its construction were characterized by generally above average rainfall, and in 1997 Santa Barbara residents were paying $500 per acre foot for water from Lake Cachuma, which was overflowing into the ocean. The cost for the desalination plant’s water was $2,000 per acre foot, and the plant was taken offline in 1997 and partially deconstructed. Mr. Hoover added that putting both desalination and participation in the State Water Project on the 1991 ballot was a mistake. The State Water Project brings water from central California through a system of pipelines into Santa Barbara. He explained this was a wrong move because people thought that the State Water Project pipelines would supply Santa Barbara with water when the region was in a drought, not realizing that the areas Santa Barbara was depending on would also be in a drought. “When we’re dry, they’re dry,� Mr. Hoover said. By learning about the consequences of passing both desalination and participation in the State Water Project, Mr. Hoover hopes his readers will see that it’s important for voters to be cautious when approving new projects. The other major takeaway he hopes his book gives readers is “not to take water resources for granted.�

ARIES — You may have been feeling more emotional lately, Aries. Today a fanciful energy could sweep you off your feet and into another realm entirely. Feel free to take off for at least a little while in order to gain a better perspective on the issues at hand. Strong, forceful powers are urging you to let someone else take the reins on a particular project. TAURUS — People and situations that you were counting on may suddenly run into opposition today, Taurus. Don’t be surprised if the seat you’re sitting on is suddenly pulled out from under you. Make sure you have some extra padding, since it could be a rather hard fall. More than likely, however, you will be able to take it in stride. GEMINI — Your ego has probably been feeling strong lately, and you may feel an extra boost of self-confidence, Gemini. Don’t be surprised if your ego gets threatened by someone who appears out of the blue with an aggressive, opinionated attitude, someone who isn’t on quite the same track as you. You may find it hard to deal with people today, since they could be a bit spacey. CANCER — If you knew the truth of all the things that are going on outside your world, you’d be appalled, Cancer. You shouldn’t take things at face value today. It’s important to simply go and see things for yourself. Don’t trust another’s word on what is true and what isn’t. Question what you see. Make sure you don’t let others pull the wool over your eyes. LEO — It isn’t a good idea to try to fit people into a mold today, Leo. This will only annoy others and frustrate you. It’s important that you relax and simply let people blossom into the people they want to be. If you have a preconceived notion of who they should be, you’re only setting yourself up for failure and disappointment, as well as anger from the other party. VIRGO — Consider subscribing to an alternative newsletter of some sort, Virgo. You will find some amazing information that the general public doesn’t necessarily know. Knowledge is power. For the most part, common knowledge is quite limited. Try to seek news from a wider community. Some mainstream +*#!2 +1$)"$information is pretty unreliable. LIBRA — Don’t expect others to

take much notice of your emotions today, Libra. You’re more respectful of theirs than they are of yours. Find peace among all you encounter. This could be difficult since other people’s wills are involved. In that case, people aren’t likely to back down. Others think they’re right and refuse to see things any other way. SCORPIO — Your aggressive attitude is likely to start a fight that might be difficult to settle now, Scorpio. There are extremely stubborn forces at work, and you may find that no one is willing to budge from their position. The thing that is apt to make this even more difficult is that people may misinterpret certain pieces of the puzzle. Try to bring understanding to the situation instead of more aggression. SAGITTARIUS — People may be difficult to deal with today, Sagittarius. You may soon discover that they’re just as stubborn as you are. Try to give others the benefit of the doubt or there will be a stalemate in just about every corner of your life. Don’t consider it a loss or failure of character if you find you need to make some concessions in order to get things to work. CAPRICORN — Your ego may be under some stress today, Capricorn. The tricky part is that the threat you feel is probably a result of something that isn’t even completely real. It could be that someone is acting on false information that has no bearing on the reality of the situation. You might be swept away by someone else’s false impression of who you really are. AQUARIUS — You could develop a stomachache if you try to sort out all the confused issues of the day, Aquarius. There are apt to be too many matters for you to handle alone, so don’t even try. It’s one of those situations in which you start to untangle one knot only to create another somewhere down the line. It’s best to just let the ball of string lie where it is for now. PISCES — You may have your mind set on some big plans that you’ve been working on for some time now, Pisces. The problem is that today there is some conflict with something or someone with a large ego who suddenly wants a piece of the pie. Either that or this person wants to burst your bubble. Don’t give up hope on your dreams. Realize that this opposition is just part of the adventure.

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.

CITY OF SANTA BARBARA NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT FOR THE CITY BICYCLE SHARE PILOT PROGRAM Planning Commission Thursday, November 19, 2020 1:00 p.m. Via the GoToWebinar Platform In partnership with the City’s permitted bicycle share operator, BCycle, the Public Works Department’s Transportation Planning Division is seeking a Coastal Development Permit from the City’s Planning Commission to construct bicycle (bike) share stations (groupings of bike share docks and/or kiosks) in the Appealable and Nonappealable jurisdictions of the Coastal Zone as part of City Council’s Bicycle Share Pilot Share Program (Program). A number of proposed bike share station sites in the Waterfront and Downtown neighborhoods are located within the Coastal Zone. These station locations are critical to the success of the pilot Program.

UCSB’s Miller is ready to take her last shot at a Big West title KENNETH SONG/NEWS-PRESS

Danae Miller is back to lead the UCSB women’s basketball team for the fourth-straight year as its starting point guard. Miller, a two-time All-Big West Conference guard, was selected this summer to represent the league on the NCAA’s newly formed Division 1 Women’s Basketball Student-Athlete Engagement Group.

By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Danae Miller hears the clock ticking to what she calls “the quickest four years of my life.” The senior point guard has already logged a staggering 2,388 minutes for the UCSB women’s basketball team — an average of 30.2 per game. But no time was more crucial than the final second of the last minute of what turned out to be the last game of last season. “We may think who we want to have the ball at the end of the game,” coach Bonnie Henrickson said of last year’s regular-season finale at Hawaii, “but it’s better when they know.” Miller knew. She took the basketball from Johnni Gonzalez, drove to the baseline, leaned away from Hawaii’s best defender and let her 12-footer fly with 0.2 seconds on the clock. The buzzer had sounded by the time her jumper nestled through the net to give UCSB a 57-56 victory and the No. 2 seed for the Big West Conference Tournament. “It takes a lot of confidence to take that shot … and live with the consequences,” Henrickson observed. It wasn’t the first time the 5-foot-7, psychology and brain sciences major had shouldered such a burden. She made go-ahead shots near the end of prior games against Grand Canyon and Cal Baptist, only to have those teams answer with buzzer-beating baskets. This time, she gave her opponent no time to reply. “When I was a freshman, I was really nervous throughout every game,” conceded Miller, who was just 18 and fresh out of Long Beach Poly when she was thrust into a starting role at UCSB. “I don’t think I would’ve had enough confidence back then to take on that player, one-on-one, and make that shot. “Over the years, Bonnie has instilled into me, ‘You’ve got to be the one who makes the big plays, to be the playmaker,’ and that’s given me all the confidence I need.” She took on more responsibility during the offseason when she agreed to serve as the Big West representative on the NCAA’s newly formed Division 1 Women’s Basketball Student-Athlete Engagement Group. Its mission is to serve as “an amplifying voice

for women’s basketball on key initiatives, legislation and various issues.” “I felt it was important — that we have a word on what’s going on in our own seasons,” Miller said. “I appreciate the NCAA even making this a thing. During this time, with a pandemic going on and people still wanting to play — and others wanting to opt out — it’s big to be able to put our concerns out there.” The Gauchos were eating breakfast at their Anaheim hotel on the eve of last March’s Big West Tournament when they learned that the event was being canceled because of the coronavirus. Her shot at Hawaii had earned UCSB a double-bye into the Big West semifinals, leaving it just two wins away from an NCAA Tournament berth. “Man, I tell you, we were livid as a team,” she said. “To work that hard to get second place and that double-bye, and feeling that we had a good run going, and to be eating breakfast and all of a sudden get told that we were about to go back home … We were all like, ‘Are you kidding?’ “It was rough. I felt so bad for Coco (Miller) and Tal (Sahar). This was their senior run. Health comes first, of course, but it definitely motivated us for this year. As soon as we got home, we were playing on outdoor courts.” Miller, a two-time All-Big West selection, is giving UCSB high hopes for another big season. She used her lightning quickness, quick-wittedness and feathery shot to rank second in the league in assist average (4.0) and 10th in scoring average (13.3 points) last year. Henrickson will arrive at the Thunderdome for practice and often find Miller already there, “the first one in the gym, shooting at the basket on the far end.” “She’s a very bright and wise young lady who’s constantly thinking about what the future holds,” Henrickson said. “She’s thoughtful and articulate with a lot that’s going on right now. There’s a real maturity about her.” And that has never come into play more than now, with two highly rated guards coming into UCSB’s program. When COVID-19 protocol forced Henrickson to separate her players into small

practice groups, she put freshmen Anya Choice of Cardinal Newman High and Alyssa Marin of Camarillo High into Miller’s pod. “I knew Danae had to be with them, showing them the pace and intensity, and the proper footwork,” she said. “She’s very fundamental and understands what we’re doing. Her reps are really good when they’re watching her. “She sets the tone and is a great example for them. Danae has such a good voice and is a great leader verbally, and she also leads by example.” Miller expects the two newcomers to play important roles when UCSB opens its season at the University of San Diego on Nov. 28. “I can tell why they were chosen to come here,” she said. “Alyssa is a great point guard and Anya is showing that she’ll be a great scorer for us. I see flashes of that all the time. “They have to learn a lot of terminology and the

way we play, and they’re taking that all in. I think it’s going to be a pretty good first year for them. I’m just trying to give them little cues — tell them when they’re doing the right things and helping them with the little fixes.” Miller won the CIF State Open Division championship as a freshman at Long Beach Poly and the CIF-Southern Section Open Division title as a senior. She’d like to go out a winner at UCSB, as well. “That’s definitely on my mind,” she said. “We worked so hard for that last year. Getting so close to it last year, when our whole locker room was so motivated … It was ridiculous how everyone was on the same page. “We’re buying into that system again now. We’re ready to take it all the way.” She’s ready to take her last, best shot at it.

ShelterBox USA helps typhoon victims By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The ongoing presidential election has grabbed most media headlines and left relatively little coverage of category 4 Super Typhoon Goni’s landfall in the Philippines. But Santa Barbara-based nonprofit ShelterBox has been heavily involved with the Southeast Asian island nation to provide those displaced by the storm with shelter and essential household items. ShelterBox USA president Kerri Murray told the NewsPress that the Philippines is in great need of humanitarian need, as Super Typhoon Goni is the strongest storm to make landfall this year and is following four tropical storms that have already hit the Philippines in the past month. These are Typhoon Molave, Typhoon Suadel, Tropical Depression Ofel and Tropical Storm Nangka. Super Typhoon Goni has impacted around 1.5 million people in the country’s Bicol region. During the disaster, 382,000

people have been displaced to evacuation centers, and 10,000 homes have been destroyed. “People have lost everything, and the humanitarian needs are high,” Ms. Murray said. She added that individuals and families displaced by the storm face a “double threat” of having nowhere to live and catching COVID-19, since the Philippines has faced the second worst COVID-19 outbreak in Southeast Asia. The latter can be exacerbated by a high concentration of people crammed in evacuation facilities speeding up COVID-19 transmission. ShelterBox is tackling both of these problems by meeting the displaced storm victims’ health, hygiene and shelter needs by providing shelter kits and basic supplies like blankets, cooking equipment, lights and water purifiers. The shelter kits include a survival tent with enough room for an extended family, according to a press release. Since the organization began in the year 2000, ShelterBox has delivered emergency shelter to 1.6 million people in more than

100 countries. Having responded to disasters in the Philippines 27 times, more frequently than any other country in its organization’s history, ShelterBox set up permanent operations in the country in 2017, with a warehouse in its Cebu region stocked with emergency shelter materials and non-food items. “This is par for the course in this region, and that’s why we set up an operation in the country,” Ms. Murray said. This means that ShelterBox is in a unique position to help the Philippines because the country’s government has imposed a ban on the importation of aid supplies in order to curtail the spread of COVID-19. According to Ms. Murray, the initial inventory at the nonprofit’s warehouse indicates that it will deploy 2,000 sets of aid, one set per family. To determine how much more aid to deploy thereafter, the nonprofit must conduct what Ms. Murray called “rapid needs assessments.” However, assessing what the typhoon victims need can

be difficult considering that destruction from the storm has left some places inaccessible and some without electricity, disrupting their ability to relay information. Following an ethos of prepositioning, ShelterBox has set up aid warehouses in Dubai, its operational headquarters in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Panama. The latter is going to be crucial for when ShelterBox gives aid to the Central American countries of Nicaragua, Honduras and El Salvador in the wake of the category 4 Hurricane Eta, which just recently made landfall in Nicaragua. Formerly the vice president of marketing at Direct Relief, Ms. Murray joined ShelterBox in 2015 once she saw the lifesaving work it was doing. She described ShelterBox as driven by one basic premise, “What do you need to sustain your life if you lose everything in an instance?” “We do something so simple, but it’s so essential to every human being,” she said. email: jgrega@newspress.com
