Tree maintenance project planned By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Tree maintenance work at Stow Grove Park is scheduled to begin next month. The project will include removing a number of dead trees in the redwood grove, which will then be reused for park amenities such as picnic tables and benches. “The Stow Grove Park redwoods are a unique and important part of Goleta’s urban forest and the upcoming maintenance work will ensure the grove will be enjoyed by future generations of park users,” said Mr. Thomson. In an effort to improve public safety and allow for new trees to be planted, approximately 40 dead redwoods, one dead coral tree and numerous dead pittosporum trees will be removed. Additional maintenance in the redwood grove will include updating the irrigation system and spreading mulch to improve water availability for the hundreds of mature redwoods originally planted in the 1930s, officials said. As part of the long-term maintenance plan for the grove, the city will also be planting approximately 75 young coastal redwoods and 25 incense cedars. In addition to the work planned for the redwood grove, approximately 40 trees along

the eastern and southern perimeter of Stow Grove Park will be trimmed to remove dead branches and ivy. A consulting biologist will be performing wildlife surveys to ensure no impacts to wildlife occur during the work. In late November, the city’s Public Tree Advisory Commission reviewed the proposed work. According to the staff report, the Stow Grove redwoods were originally planted in the 1930s under the direction of Edgar Stow, heir to Rancho La Patera, state senator and a seminal figure in the agriculture development of the Goleta Valley. Currently, there are 279 redwoods, in addition to younger trees that were installed more recently. “The redwoods contribute to the charming character of Stow Grove, providing a shady destination and a beautiful backdrop for quiet walks, group picnics, and birdwatching for generations of Goletans,” the staff report reads. “Unfortunately, due to an historic drought from 20112019, individual redwood trees died, and the overall aesthetics of the redwood grove declined significantly during this time.” In 2014, the city hired professional arborist Bill Spiewalk to inventory the trees, assess their health and Please see trees on A6

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

New Year’s Resolutions are hard in a year where the world seemed to turn upside down, at least that’s what the general consensus seemed to be on State Street Sunday afternoon. Post-Christmas returns and shopping brought small crowds (and lots of dogs) to Santa Barbara’s shopping hub. As people waited in line to return not-quiteright Christmas gifts, the NewsPress asked: “What’s your New Year’s Resolution?” Many seemed confused. It hadn’t occurred to them yet. “I guess people say they want to go to the gym,” one said. But most gyms are closed until the county reaches the red tier. “I’m not one of those guys that are gonna say ‘go to the gym’ or anything,” said Jake West. “I just want to be happy and be healthy.” Part of his goal of being healthy is getting vaccinated against COVID-19. “We have family in Europe and in the Philippines. So hopefully with the vaccine, hopefully we can get to travel,” he said. The holiday season has been different for him, but he is optimistic for next year. “I hope we can get rid of this pandemic and just move forward, and this time next year we can really enjoy ourselves,” he said. Many resolutions were tied to the pandemic. “Hopefully we won’t have to restrict as much,” said Paulina Sanchez, who was visiting Santa

A legend at Miramar Beach Montecito Trust Fun Pictures presents ‘A Jacqumentary’ By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

“Excuse me! Are you a guest of zee o’tel?” Montecito Trust Fun Pictures is asking any locals who were asked this question — or had their bicycle heaved into the ocean at Miramar Beach — to check out “A Jacqumentary.” “A Jacqumentary” is a documentary on the life and times of Jacques Renon — the eccentric, bicycle-riding Frenchman and self-declared security detail at Miramar Beach in the 1970s and ’80s. BBC reporter Derrick Rakeover interviews Montecito’s inner circle and uncovers the many infamous exploits of Jacques, from chucking bikes into the water to doing handstands. Ted Simmons, born and raised in Montecito, is a fifthgeneration Santa Barbara native. His mother, Jeannie Gazner, was one of the last private, original families who owned the Miramar Hotel. “I’m astonished that somebody actually took the time to put this together and had the old clips and commentary,” Mr. Simmons told the News-Press. “Jacques was a legend no matter how old you were, whether you grew up here and he threw you off the beach, or you were connected to the hotel in some way or a guest.” Mr. Simmons knew Jacques as a child, and said he and his friends would surf on Miramar Beach and then have a fire later to warm up, “which was a big no-no in Jacques’ world.” “Back then, there wasn’t a lot of enforcement. He was pretty much the self-anointed enforcer of all things on the beach,” he said. Mr. Simmons said that most people don’t know that up until the late 1970s, the Miramar Hotel property line did go into the water. “The Coastal Act hadn’t happened yet, and the Miramar retained ownership of all of the sand, so if you were indeed walking from the ramp on Eucalyptus Lane for example, you were technically on his property,” he said. He added that it was a “certain rarity” for any California property to own integral water. However, through all of Jacques’ tomfoolery and outlandish behavior, Mr. Simmons said he probably was a good man deep down. “Outside of all his antics, my mom lived on the property, and Jacques would go by and see my mom every day to make sure she was OK,” he said. “For all his antics, I give him a lot of credit for doing that.” Mr. Simmons said he thinks Jacques was just old and crabby at times, not to mention a group of kids who made it their goal to get under his skin. He referred to Jacques as an “easy target.” “The fact that they could track down some of these people and have some of this footage is astonishing,” he said. “It’s nice to see some of those more colorful stories chronicled in the ‘Jacqumentary.’ “He was a complete character.

Have some wine and learn about abstinence

L

et me see if I can value this medal sent by E.S. without pouring a glass of wine because I have never seen anything like this before — and I collect medals. She sent me a huge dangling medal in sterling, and it had me foxed. Marked at the top clasp as “OGJOTASP,” the medal reads in etching that it was presented to PCN Bro James R. Grant by the William Hoyle Lodge in 1894. Naturally, I searched for a Grand Master Mason, a William Hoyle, and indeed I found that he was Grand Master in Ontario, Canada, serving the Grand Lodge in Ontario from 1894-1918 as a Grand Master of the Orange Order. He was also a speaker of Legislative Assembly of Ontario 1912, and a Conservative MLA. The medal must be Masonic. But the iconography of a Phoenix Rising on the front of the medal didn’t tally with anything I had appraised “Masonic” before. So I looked further in the esteemed William Hoyle and found he was also an Oddfellow, a different fraternal order with little if any relationship to the Masons. Yes, the two organizations share similar symbols: The All-Seeing Eye, the Sun, Moon, Bible and Beehive. In fact, my greatgrandfather, Harry A. Gould, in St Louis was an Oddfellow, and we have his pin, so I looked at that again, and noticed the triple link design, which stands for friendship, love and truth. (By the way, my greatgrandfather’s national organization was the first to include women in 1851.) A nice story, but I couldn’t make E.S.’s medal “fit” with either Masonic or Oddfellows iconography. And here we see that Bro James R. Grant

was a “PNC,” whatever that may mean, and when I searched Masonic abbreviations, for which there are thousands, PNC didn’t fit. So, what do the abbreviations on the bar from which the medal is suspend — the engraved letters “OGJOTASP” — mean? Well, I was so wrong to search for Masonic or Oddfellow medals, because the last four letters stand for “The Total Abstinence of the Sons of Phoenix.” And here we see that the Phoenix rising from the ashes matched the moniker. Now, it is late as I write this, and I AM pouring a glass of red. Looking further into the history of this medal — the brotherhoods who were devoted in the late 19th century to abstinence in both England and America — is a total head-rush. They awarded such medals to all levels of teetotal-ism, from imbibing healthy drink and food, to the formations of orphanages for children abused by drunk parents to asylums for drunk women and men. They gave lectures, Bible studies upon demon drink, wrote songs, churned out badges, printed journals, sewed sashes and formed their children into young people’s brigades. These organizations fall under the general category in the history of fraternal organizations in the late 19th century of “Friendly Societies.” And friendly they were, because many of them acted on certain politicalplatforms and acted as insurance companies for their members as well. You paid certain dues, and you were guaranteed a decent burial. The late 19th-century temperance societies had a real problem because many of the other Friendly Societies began by

meeting in English Pubs and American Ale Houses, as they were begun by and for working men. By the late 19th century, drink was perceived by some as a social ill. The women of the households had a lot to do with this perception, and they let their weight be felt. Thus, many wealthy American women and English noble women began women’s movements against drink in the late 19th century, established safe houses and temperance societies that also espoused the vote for women. The Sons of Temperance, from which the Sons of Phoenix literally arose, was established in 1842 in the U.S. and Canada. There’s a long history of calling out the evils of drink, which culminated in the late 19th century in many U.S., Canadian and English fraternal organizations. These died in the 1930s, as legislation was passed in the U.S. banning the sale of alcohol. And that is how that story abided. In this little medal we see this all combined because we find that “PNC” means Past Chief Noble, which means that he had lived the temperate life for many years. A Noble life. Now that I know the history of E.S.’s medal, I think I will have another glass of red to celebrate that I cracked the code of OGJOTASP!

UC Irvine pulls an inside job on UCSB to romp in Big West opener By MARK PATTON

Ajare Sanni scored 15 points for the UCSB men’s basketball team, but no other Gaucho scored more than nine in Sunday’s 75-56, blowout defeat at UC Irvine to open Big West Conference play.

Gauchos drop close one to Anteaters By GERRY FALL NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Size, or lack thereof, has been a problem for the UCSB women’s basketball team this season. Sunday was no exception. Behind a stellar performance by Kayla Williams and a strong rebounding effort, the UC Irvine Anteaters defeated UC Santa Barbara, 64-60, at the Thunderdome. The Anteaters outrebounded the Gauchos 4939, with 22 of them coming at the offensive end. When Irvine wasn’t missing, it was usually Williams who was making shots. She finished with a gamehigh 25 points in the Big West Conference opener for both teams. “She’s really good, really dynamic with the ball in her hands,� UCSB coach Bonnie

Henrickson said. “She’s really effective on on-ball screens and obviously she can get to the rim and finish. She’s a talented young little guard in our league, and certainly not anything that we weren’t expecting.� Trailing 11-7 in the first quarter, the Anteaters went on a 10-0 run. When they took the lead at 13-11, they never trailed again the rest of the way. After UCSB tied the score at 29-29 early in the third quarter, Irvine went on another 10-0 run, fueled by five points from Williams. The Gauchos did themselves no favors throughout the game by committing 18 turnovers. “I think we committed five turnovers in seven possessions,� Henrickson said of her team’s Please see GAUCHOS on A8

Big West Conference men’s basketball opened on Sunday to a familiar tune for UCSB, which has played second fiddle to UC Irvine the last few years. The Anteaters overpowered the Gauchos inside while getting them to miss 22 of 25 shots from threepoint distance in a 75-56 rout at Irvine’s Bren Center. “We wanted to make it a paint game,â€? UCI center Brad Greene said. He splattered UCSB’s post players with a double-double of 14 points and 12 rebounds while making 6-of-8 shots. He also limited Amadou Sow, the Gauchos’ two-time All-Big West forward, to just two shots inside the threepoint line and seven points. “We didn’t play well on offense and couldn’t make a shot, we didn’t play well on defense, and we didn’t rebound the basketball,â€? UCSB coach Joe Pasternack said. “But kudos to them, that might’ve been the best they’ve played this year. “They out-played us, outcoached us ‌ out-everything-ed us.â€? UCI (4-4) out-shot the Gauchos (4-2) 53.4% to 32.1% and outrebounded them 39-29. It also outscored UCSB inside the key, 46-22. The Anteaters, 0-4 on the road this year with double-digit defeats at Pepperdine, San Diego State and USC, tuned up for Sunday’s league opener with last week’s 32-point home victory over the University of San Diego. “Our team just came out wanting to play hard,â€? Greene said. “We all know what’s been said. We dropped a few games early, but I think this really shows Please see UCSB on A8

Things couldn’t have gone much worse for the Rams on Sunday. For starters, quarterback Jared Goff expressed uncertainty whether he’ll be able to play in the team’s regular-season finale after he suffered a thumb injury in a 20-9 loss at Seattle. Sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that the Rams fear Goff’s thumb is broken and that he will undergo further testing in L.A. on Monday. “I am uncertain,� Goff said when asked if he’ll be able to play next Sunday at home against the Arizona Cardinals. “We will see.� Added Rams coach Sean McVay: “I’m not sure right now. I don’t want to speculate on that.� With Sunday’s defeat, the Rams (9-6) have lost two straight games for the first time this season but can clinch a playoff spot with either a win against the Cardinals (8-7) or a Green Bay victory at Chicago (8-7) in Week 17. John Wolford, an undrafted free agent in 2018 from Wake Forest, is the Rams backup quarterback. Wolford has never appeared in a regular-season NFL game. Goff injured his thumb in the final seconds of the third quarter as he completed a 9-yard pass to tight end Gerald Everett. As he followed through on this throw, Goff’s right hand hit the helmet of Seahawks defensive end Benson Mayowa. “Popped it back into place,� Goff said, “and just finished the game.� Chiefs 17, Falcons 14

Patrick Mahomes finished 24-for-44 for 278 yards and two touchdowns to lead Kansas City (14-1) to its 10th consecutive victory. Travis Kelce hauled in seven passes for 98 yards and a score for the Chiefs, who wrapped up the No. 1 playoff seed in the AFC. Jets 23, Browns 16

New York pulled off the upset of Cleveland. Sam Darnold was 16 of 32 for 175 yards and two touchdowns for the Jets, who have suddenly won two straight after starting 0-13. Jamison Crowder caught seven passes for 92 yards and a touchdown. Braxton Berrios and Chris Herndon also caught touchdown passes for New York. Steelers 28, Colts 24

Ben Roethlisberger had a huge game for

Pittsburgh, which clinched the AFC North Division title with its narrow win over Indianapolis. Roethlisgerger finished 34-for-49 for 342 yards and three touchdowns. Ju Ju Smith-Schuster was on the receiving end of nine of those passes for 96 yards and a touchdown. Bears 41, Jaguars 17

Chicago kept its playoff hopes alive with a rout of the Jaguars. Mitchell Trubisky completed 24 of 35 passes for 265 yards and two touchdowns, while David Montgomery rushed for 95 yards and a touchdowns on 23 carries. Ravens 27, Giants 13

Lamar Jackson led Baltimore on four touchdown drives in its victory over New York. Jackson finished 17 of 26 for 183 yards and two touchdowns. Bengals 37, Texans 31

Brandon Allen completed 29 of 37 passes for 371 yards and two touchdowns to lead Cincinnati to a narrow win over Houston. Chargers 19, Broncos 16.

L.A. improved to 6-9 with its win over Denver. Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert was 21-for-33 for 253 yards and a touchdown to lead the offense. Cowboys 37, Eagles 17

Andy Dalton threw for 377 yards and three touchdowns to help Dallas keep its NFC East title hopes alive. Dalton was 22-for-30 through the air, while Ezekiel Elliott finished with 105 yards on 19 carries for the Cowboys. Panthers 20, Washington 13

Washington failed to clinch the NFC East title with its loss to Carolina. Teddy Bridgewater was effective through the air for the Panthers, completing 19 passes out of 28 attempts for 197 yards and one touchdown. Curtis Samuel caught five passes for 106 yards for Carolina. Packers 40, Titans 14

Aaron Rodgers wasn’t bothered by a snowy night in Green Bay. The veteran quarterback threw for 231 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Packers to their fifth straight win. Rodgers finished 21-for-25. AJ Dillon also had a big game for Green Bay, rushing for 124 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries.

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.

MONDAY, DECEMBER 28, 2020 A project which will include removing a number of dead trees in the redwood grove at Goleta’s Stow Grove Park will begin next month.

Since 2014, 44 dead trees have been removed from the grove trees

are dead. In addition, 44 dead trees have been removed since 2014. “The further decline of the grove can be linked to the prolonged drought, water rationing, and a lack of focused tree care during the past several years,� the staff report reads. “The grove now requires significant maintenance to remove dead trees, plant new saplings, install irrigation system upgrades, and make other improvements to soil moisture and fertility.� The staff report states that the city planted Incense cedars in the grove within the past six years to add diversity while still maintaining the aesthetics of

Continued from Page A1 provide management recommendations to improve long-term tree care at the park. The tree health assessment rated the trees based on the percentage of live, green foliage compared to brown, dead foliage. The assessment determined 32 trees, roughly 11.5% of the total, were in poor condition and 10 were dead. A more recent assessment conducted by Rincon Consultants in March 2019 found that 48 trees are in poor condition and 34

a tall evergreen tree. The incense cedar is considered more tolerant of drier soil conditions and allows the grove to thrive as water becomes scarce. “This is a long-term strategy to slowly diversify the grove while retaining the look and feel of the original redwood grove planted by Edgar Stow in the 1930s,� the staff report reads. Last year, the defunct irrigation system in the Stow Grove redwoods was overhauled to improve both coverage and reliability. “New irrigation controllers were also installed to allow maintenance staff to inspect, audit, and program the irrigation

system using Bluetooth technology,� the staff report reads. “These recent improvements are anticipated to improve tree health and increase reliability of the system. With the new technology, the irrigation system can be easily checked from a smartphone and any issues quickly addressed. Additional improvements to the irrigation system, including the addition of drip irrigation for new saplings and misters for established trees, is planned after the majority of dead tree removals are complete.� During the tree removal, particular care will be taken to ensure no nesting birds or other sensitive resources are

impacted. A contract biologist will be onsite regularly during work to conduct tailgate training, observe the methods of work, and advise on any potential wildlife issues that may arise. New saplings and irrigation improvements will be installed during February and April. Goleta’s Parks and Open Space Manager George Thomson has recorded a tour of the grove, which can be viewed at https://youtu.be/WW0eO5POzCM.

‘I’m just hoping 2020 is actually over’ 2021

Continued from Page A1 scale issues rather than personal improvement, like hitting the gym. A college student named Isabelle who was out with her family had a practical goal: keep in touch with friends. She attends the University of Minnesota and is far from many of her classmates. Because of COVID-19, they haven’t been on

campus. Her father, Mark, is just looking forward to a fresh year. “Well, I’m just hoping 2020 is actually over,� he said. “That would be my number one.� He would like to get vaccinated in 2021. When asked if it’s hard to set resolutions this year, his son Matt nodded. “We just want to fix everything,� he said. Ruth Marshall was out on State

Street enjoying music a small group was playing from a speaker. She had a resolution for everyone. “That our integrity would increase and that our selfishness comes into alignment,� she said. She said it’s okay to be a little selfish, but she wants people to see the larger issues in 2021. And hopefully, there won’t be many large issues.

Pasternack: ‘We just didn’t execute our game plan’ ucsb

UCSB’s Doris Jones has her shot blocked by UC Irvine’s Sophia Locandro (35) during the Gauchos’ 64-60 Big West Conference loss against the Anteaters at the Thunderdome on Sunday.

start to the third quarter. “We had terrible shot selections, unforced turnovers, and then they’re in transition and getting to the rim. We were our own worst enemy.” Defensively, the Gauchos weren’t that bad. They held the Anteaters to just 31% (22 of 72) shooting from the field, and 23% (3-for-13) from 3-point range. Where UCSB got hurt was in rebounding and transition, which most of the time came off a turnover.

“We’ve got to get guys off the glass, I mean that’s 22 offensive rebounds,” Henrickson said. “Everybody but one kid got an offensive rebound, and most of them got two, three or four. “Until we take a personal responsibility for that, it doesn’t matter what defense you’re in. You’ve got to create contact and be physical and handle the physicality.” Senior point guard Danae Miller, the Gauchos’ secondleading scorer at 13 points per game, heated up in the second half after getting off to a very slow start in the first half. Miller, who was held to two points in the first

half, erupted for 16 in the second to finish with a team-high 18 points. Forward Taylor Mole, playing in her first game of the season for UCSB, finished with 15 points and three blocked shots. At 6-foot2, Mole is the only player on the active roster who gives the Gauchos any kind of presence in the paint. Mole also made two 3-pointers. “She did a nice job,” Henrickson said. “She’s long, she blocked three shots and helped us on the glass. That’s what we see every day (in practice) so none of us are surprised. It’s nice to be able to see her do it in a uniform and

help us, because she certainly can score.” UCSB finished 20 of 56 (36%) from the field, and 9-for-26 (35%) from 3-point range. The Gauchos (0-5) also had their best game of the early season at the freethrow line, finishing 11 of 12. UC Irvine was 17-for-21 from the charity stripe. It was the Anteaters first win over UCSB at the Thunderdome since 2015. The two teams play again tonight in a Big West Conference game at the Thunderdome beginning at 5 p.m. email: gfall@newspress.com

Giles has received 13 outstanding service awards giles

Continued from Page A1 of intergroup communication and policing. Together they have published three articles in major policing outlets — with another in submission — on the topic of policecommunity relations. In addition, they have collaborated with Ed Maguire, professor of criminology and criminal justice at Arizona State University, in co-editing the forthcoming “The Rowan & Littlefield Handbook of Policing, Communication, and Society.” In 2017, Santa Barbara Chief of Police Lori

Luhnow invited Mr. Giles to establish and serve as director of the Volunteers in Policing Corps. “The Corps has expanded much since then and has many working links with the community that have garnered considerable local media attention,” he said. Earlier, in 1996, Mr. Giles began a 15-year commitment as a reserve officer with the SBPD. He was promoted to sergeant in 1999, and to lieutenant in 2005. Additionally, he has been a round-the-clock member of the Crisis Negotiation Response Team as well as a police chaplain. He is the recipient of 13 outstanding service awards, including one at the state level. “The Dickson Award is even more timely

now under current circumstances following the summer of 2020 and the George Floyd incident and the aftermath,” said Mr. Giles. The award will support his continuing research, including planning and processing the co-editing of a “Police and the People,” a contracted special issue of the journal Group Processes and Intergroup Relations; a text encouraged by Rowan & Littlefield for police colleges, academies and universities on communication and law enforcement; and an evaluative intervention study on promoting positive contact between law enforcement and the public. email: gfall@newspress.com

who we are as competitors and what we want to do throughout conference.” Collin Welp, the other bookend on the UCI front line, added 11 points and eight rebounds. “They have an unbelievably experienced front line which out-played our front line,” Pasternack said. “We just didn’t execute our game plan. We didn’t do what we do. “It reminded me of the Loyola Marymount game, for whatever reason. We’ll just have to go back to the drawing board and prepare. Hopefully, we’ll get a better performance tomorrow.” The two teams will return to the Bren Center again today for a 4 p.m. contest. The Big West went to the new scheduling format to mitigate COVID-19 risks. Seven of UCSB’s first eight shots were three-pointers, and they missed every one of them. Brandon Cyrus’ floater and Miles Norris’ free throw were the Gauchos’ only points during the first six-plus minutes. Freshman Dawson Baker banked in the Anteaters’ first three-point attempt to give them a 5-3 lead which they never relinquished. A hook shot by another freshman, 7-foot and 300-pound Emmanuel Tshimanga, capped a 13-0 run that put UCI ahead 15-3 with 13:42 remaining in the first half. “We’re really deep at the bigs position,” Greene said. JaQuori McLaughlin answered with the Gauchos’ first three. Norris added another to go with

IN MEMORY JARYL CHARLES “DAVID” WESTON

8/5/87 – 12/29/12 You were 5 years old when Beauty and The Beast came out and it was your favorite movie. You would make me watch it over and over and we knew every song, word for word. It’s been 8 years since you’ve passed and the pain isn’t as bad now, and although I’ve tried numerous times to watch the movie, 2 minutes in, I have to turn it off because the memories of my little brother are too sensitive. I wish you were here to tease about it, but I’m glad I have all the memories I have of you. We truly miss you little brother, you’ll never be forgotten. Love, Big Brother Jabari, Mom and Papa Bill

PETRINI, John Leonard, Sr. August 6, 1925 - December 5, 2020

John Leonard Petrini, Sr. passed away peacefully on Saturday, December 5, 2020 at the age of 95. John was born in Abingdon, IL, the first child to Eugene John Petrini and Filomen Ambrosia. He grew up in Abingdon and attended Abingdon High School at the height of WWII. As soon as possible, he joined the US Navy and saw action in the Pacific Theater. He was extremely proud of his service to the Country in the Navy. Upon honorable discharge, he married the love of his life, Violet Artemia Mori of Chicago IL. Their union produced six children, John (Maryella), Janice (Al Tarman), Jeffrey (Carol), Joanne (Terryl Burke), Joseph (Carol) and James. He and Violet have 12 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. John was the oldest of 7, and was proceeded in death by his cherished wife, Violet, his parents and sister Anne (Kisler). He is survived by his brothers Eugene, Julio (Madeline), Gerald (Virginia) and James, and his sister Elizabeth (Kisler). John was the founder of Petrini’s Family Restaurant in Santa Barbara, that opened in 1958. He brought the first pizza to Santa Barbara as well as many of the typical family recipes. As soon as it became apparent that the restaurant would be successful, he brought his two brothers, Julio and Geno, and their wives into the business. He was very proud of the fact that at its height, the restaurant helped support the families of 54 employees. Many long-time residents of Santa Barbara had their weekly family dinner night at Petrini’s Restaurant. John was a traveler, square-dancer, bowler, golfer, fisherman and Dodger fan. His love of God and family were paramount in his life. Due to the current pandemic, his remains were interred at Calvary Cemetery following a private family ceremony at San Roque Church. John requested that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, ID #22215620.

a jumper by Ajare Sanni and a runner by Cyrus as UCSB rallied to within 21-15. Sanni’s three off a cross-court pass from McLaughlin reduced the deficit to just five, 24-19. He was the only Gaucho to reach double-figure scoring, scoring 15 points on 6-for-14 shooting while also grabbing five rebounds. But the Gauchos missed their last three three-pointers in the first half and all 13 in the second half. “I felt we had some really open shots that we missed and we probably took some questionable shots, as well,” Pasternack said. UCSB needed Josh PierreLouis and Sanni to score off steals to stay within 36-28 by the end of the first half. The Gauchos forced UCI’s young backcourt into nine turnovers during the first 20 minutes but only five more in the second half. UCSB worked the ball inside to Sow for a pair of quick baskets to start the second half, reducing its deficit to 40-32 with 17:49 to go. But he didn’t take another shot the rest of the game. Sow led the Gauchos in rebounds with eight. Welp’s long three triggered a 9-2 run which kept the Anteaters’ lead in double-digits for the rest of the game. The defeat was UCSB’s fifth in a row at the Bren Center. “Winning on the road isn’t easy no matter the situation,” Pasternack said. “Irvine, whether you play them at home or on the road, is a good team. They’re picked to win our league for a reason.”
