SB rally supports Ukraine

Dos Pueblos wins mock trial competition By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

On Saturday, Dos Pueblos High School won the 2022 Santa Barbara County Mock Trial Competition. Dos Pueblos beat out San Marcos and will now go on to represent Santa Barbara County at the Mock Trial State Finals on March 17-20. Carpinteria High School came in third place. The Santa Barbara County Education Office (SBCEO) cosponsors the two-weekend event with the Santa Barbara County Superior Court and the Constitutional Rights Foundation. Twenty-eight students from four high schools - San Marcos, Dos Pueblos, Carpinteria and Laguna Blanca - earned individual awards for outstanding performance in the preliminary trials on February 26. The medals were donated by the law firm of Rogers, Sheffield, and Campbell, LLP. Over thirty local attorneys, including representatives from the offices of the District Attorney and Public Defender, scored student prosecution and defense teams in the fictional homicide case of People v.

Cobey, as Superior Court judges presided over the trials and rendered their verdicts. The mock trial program has been a significant and meaningful extracurricular activity for high school students. The effort has been led by Dr. Susan Salcido, county superintendent of schools, who ensured that the program was maintained during the pandemic. Along with the efforts of the County Education Office, there are contributions from parents, teachers, the local bar and the Superior Court. “All of these collaborators can take pride that Santa Barbara County has the reputation of producing among the best managed programs in the state,” said Judge Brian Hill, who presided over one of the final rounds. Superior Court Judges Tom Anderle and Donna Geck, Commissioner Steve Foley and retired Judge George Eskin also presided over the mock trials. “Mock Trial develops students’ critical thinking skills of deep research, intellectual perseverance, and mental agility as they study case law Please see MOCK TRIAL on A2

On Sunday at 2 p.m., a rally in support of Ukraine was held at the Santa Barbara County Courthouse Sunken Garden. “The rally went very well, but a little bit different kind of people than we had before.

Polowczak, longtime friend of Mr. Lyutko. The Ukrainian anthem was played on a bandura, a Ukrainian instrument, by Alex Vertsha. There was also a short dancing group after the rally. No one from the city or county administration attended the rally according to Mr. Lyutko. This was the third rally in support of Ukraine that Mr. Lyutko organized. “Each one is very good.

and prepare arguments. The combination of individual preparation, intense team collaboration and mentorship from coaches, attorneys, and judges has a transformational effect on students’ identities and future options. Our mock trial students become leaders in diverse fields, including law, public policy, business, education, medicine, research, engineering and the arts. They inspire us and fill us with pride and optimism.” said Ellen Barger, Assistant Superintendent at SBCEO, who oversees the program. In September, the students and their coaches receive the rules and the fictional case, including witness statements, evidence, applicable case law and a summary of allowable objections. Teams spend months after school developing their arguments and refining courtroom procedures and strategy to prepare for the competition. Dr. Salcido said that all participants should be proud of their performance in what is a rigorous competition of legal

analysis, critical thinking and public speaking. “In Mock Trial, students actively experience the excitement of working in teams, exchanging ideas, setting goals, and examining issues while interacting with positive role models from the community. We are proud of each of the students who participated for their commitment, dedication, passion, and composure during the competition,” said Dr. Salcido. The Dos Pueblos varsity team was coached by Hannah Krieshok, Lisa Rothstein, Christine Voss, and Lina Somait. The San Marcos Royals were coached by Luke Ohrn, Hilary Dozer, and Jim Kreyger. More than 20 additional attorneys, teachers, and former competitors volunteered additional support and coaching to our county’s high school teams. “As a former Mock Trial coach, I know how much hard work and talent it takes to get to this level. Huge congratulations to DP Mock Trial’s students and coaches and to the San Marcos program for an epic battle,” said Dos Pueblos High School Principal Bill Woodard. email: kzehdner@newspress.com

People gather to participate in a protest against the Russian invasion of Ukraine at the Santa Barbara Courthouse on Sunday.

Continued from Page A1 questions, radio stations were asking questions,” said Mr. Lyutko about the rally. “I would like to say that I got a very strong message from my relatives in Ukraine, who are delivering humanitarian aid, and Russian troops shot them in the back. It is sad because they are peaceful people bringing humanitarian aid. My opinion

is that we have to fight, we have to talk and America has to stop buying Russian oil. Any dollar that we spend on Russia they prepare a bullet to Ukraine. Russians are shelling it doesn’t matter who you are. They kill everything right away. The Russian Federation is talking about peace all around the world. What kind of peace? I don’t want to live in Russia. It is totally opposite of everything that Putin said. People are afraid to stand against Putin and his administration. The government

needs to take some action. If you don’t take it now, it will be worse later. I am worried about my relatives and all Ukrainians. War does not bring something good to anyone. This is supposed to be a strong message. No one wants to see children dying before their eyes. The Russian people will not stand against Putin and what he has done,” Mr. Lyutko told the News-Press. On Tuesday, there will be a Solidarity Concert for Ukraine at 7 p.m. with violin and piano

music. The concert will be at the First Ukrainian Evangelical Baptist Church at 150 Pebble Hill Dr. in Santa Barbara. There is a suggested donation of $20 which will go to support refugees. “Stand up with Ukraine. Please pray for the Ukrainian people, innocent kids who would like to play. Typical kids who play on the playground. We have to pray for kids, because they are our future,” said Mr. Lyutko.

All event proceeds go towards the cause, and all time is volunteered. There were 190 tickets sold and over 250 participants including staff. The March 2020 celebration took place just days before the initial Covid-19 shutdowns began, making it one of the last in-person events of its kind. “Our being able to safely gather in-person, once again, is so symbolic of the triumph over what we’ve endured during the past two years,” said Ms. Steinwachs. The event was an intimate, alfresco wine tasting reception complete with hors d’oeuvres. The three-hour reception boasted female winemakers who poured tastes of their wines and talked with event guests as appetizers were offered by female counterparts in the Santa Barbara County food world. Live music by Arwen Lewis was provided as well as an interactive food and wine trivia challenge and the popular “estrogen collection” wine case opportunity drawing. The opportunity drawing was won by Jessica Foster of Jessica Foster Confections. “The highlight of the day was getting people together, for the first time in over two years since March 8th, 2020, literally just days before the world shut down.

Gauchos women’s basketball defeated in regular season finale By MICHAEL JORGENSON UCSB SPORTS WRITER

The UCSB women’s basketball team closed out the regular season with a 58-52 loss at Hawaii on Saturday night at the Stan Sheriff Center. The Gauchos (15-11, 9-8) will now take the No. 5 seed into Wednesday’s Big West Tournament Quarterfinals to face No. 4 UC Riverside. Junior center Ila Lane played every minute for the second time in her career, notching her fourth straight double-double with 11 points and a season-high 18 rebounds. It was her ninth straight game scoring in double-figures and the fifth time in her career she pulled in at least 18 rebounds. For the second straight game, Alexis Tucker led UCSB in scoring. The junior guard scored 14 points on 4-of-7 from the field and had a team-high two steals. Senior point guard Danae Miller made it six straight games with at least two three-pointers, scoring 13 points and dishing out two assists.

She now has 438 career assists, moving her past Debby Caine (1998-2003) for No. 5 all-time at UCSB. The only player to score off the bench was sophomore Anya Choice, who had an efficient shooting night for eight points on a 2-of-3 mark from three-point range.

1ST HALF Santa Barbara led 7-2 after a three-point play by Tucker, who scored seven straight Gaucho points in the opening minutes. That would be UCSB’s largest lead of the night. Hawaii (17-9, 13-3) led 12-11 after one and used a 9-0 run late in the half to go up by double-digits for the first time, 32-22 on a fast break and-1 by guard Ashley Thoms.

2ND HALF The Rainbow Wahine run extended to 16-2 early in the third quarter as they went up 39-24. The Gauchos scored the final six points of the quarter to cut it back to single

digits. Anya Choice hit one of her two threepointers and converted a layup in the final minute to make it a 43-34 game heading into the fourth. Hawaii pushed the lead back up to 14 to open the final period, but UCSB once again inched closer with a 7-0 run to make it 48-41 at the 5:44 mark. Danae Miller’s triple with 2:17 brought the Gauchos within five and Lane made it a onepossession game, 52-49 on a second chance bucket in the paint with 1:26 to go. Amy Atwell hit a crucial driving layup with just under a minute to go to make it 54-49 and the Rainbow Wahine made their last four free throws to ice the game. The Gauchos will look to defeat UC Riverside for the first time this season on Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. at the Dollar Loan Center in Henderson, Nev.

UCSB baseball splits Saturday doubleheader at Oregon By DANIEL MOEBUS-BOWLES UCSB SPORTS WRITER

The 26th ranked Gauchos split their doubleheader with Oregon on Saturday afternoon falling in game one 4-3 before earning their first win of the series in game two 5-4. This series rematch between UCSB Baseball and Oregon at PK Park has been as exciting as presumed with all three games being decided by one run.

Game One (Oregon 4-3) Five different batters collected hits for the Gauchos in game one, including Broc Mortensen, who collected a two-run homer, and Bryce Willits, who blasted a solo shot, his first of the season. Lefty Mike Gutierrez (1-1) took the bump to start for the Gauchos tossing 5.1 innings and allowing three earned in the loss, while striking out five. Sam Whiting was the sole ‘Cho out of the bullpen retiring both batters he faced. Oregon took an early lead in the first game of the doubleheader, going up 2-0 in the first inning, and it took till the second time through the order for the Gaucho bats to get going. When the top of the order came around in the top of the fourth, Sprinkle reached on an error and stole second, followed by a Kyle

Johnson walk. An unfortunate double play pushed Sprinkle to third and brought up the big bat of Mortensen. With two out, the lefty took a 2-0 ball over the fence in right field to tie the game at 2-2. The Ducks regained the lead with a run in the fourth and fifth forcing the Gauchos to come up with two more in top of the seventh, the final inning of the shortened contest. The first two Gauchos went down in order before Willits stepped to the plate, rocking a home run over the right field wall to make it a one run game. John Newman Jr. was next, singling up the middle to put the tying run on base, but that would be it for UCSB.

Game Two (UCSB 5-4) JD Callahan earned the start for the Gauchos, tossing 3.1 innings and allowing three earned in the no-decision. Making just his second appearance of the season was Hayden Hattenbach, who was brilliant, tossing 3.1 innings of scoreless ball with three strikeouts and just two hits allowed in his first career win. Equally impressive was the arm of Matt Ager, who entered in the seventh and tossed 2.1 innings of nearly perfect ball. The freshman allowed just one baserunner to

reach on a walk and struck out a pair in his first career save. Nick Vogt went 3-for-3 in the game with a walk, a run, and an RBI. Mortensen collected his second home run of the day and added two more RBI to his resume. The Gauchos struck first in the nine-inning contest as Willits drew a lead-off walk in the top of the second and made his way to third on a single from Johnson. Gianni Bloom was next up, collecting a sac-fly to left field to bring in Willits and make it a 1-0 game. Oregon wasted no time taking its first and only lead in the bottom half of the inning with a grand slam to go up 4-1. Despite the hit, the Gauchos continued to work and did so quickly as Vogt collected an infield single to bring up Mortensen in the top of the third. The reigning Big West home run champ did what he does best, taking another ball clear over the wall in right field to make it a 4-3 game. In came Hattenbach in the bottom of the fourth, inheriting a runner with one out. He would get out of the inning retiring two of the next three batters, and followed by shutting down the Ducks in order in both the fifth and sixth.

In the top of the sixth, Sprinkle collected a one-out single and made his way to second on a Zander Darby walk. Next up was Vogt, who notched an RBI single to right field to score the tying run in Sprinkle, but the Oregon defense could not end the play as an error would send Darby home and Vogt to third to give UCSB a 5-4 lead. Ager entered in the seventh with two on and two out and retired the first batter he faced to preserve the lead. He retired the side in the eighth and faced the minimum batters in the ninth to pick up the seven-out save. UCSB returns to PK Park tomorrow with hopes of splitting the series with the Ducks. First pitch is set for 12:00 PM.

Warriors baseball completes four-game sweep By RON SMITH WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

It required prevailing in two close games Sunday and scoring more than a run per inning, but Westmont baseball completed a four-game sweep of William Jessup (13-12, 2-6) to improve its overall record to 22-2. The Warriors maintain their first place standing in the Golden State Athletic Conference with a mark of 11-1. Westmont won the first game 9-7, then took the second, seven-inning game by a score of 9-8. In the opener, Westmont held an 8-0 lead after four and one-half innings of play, but William Jessup scored seven unanswered runs to trail by just one heading into the ninth inning. An insurance run in the top of the ninth completed the scoring and secured the win. The first five Warrior runs came in the top of the first. Robbie Haw led off the game with a double to left, then advanced to third when Brady Renck grounded out to first. Simon Reid brought Haw home with a double down the right field line. After Thomas Rudinsky and Josh Rego walked, Parker O’Neil connected on a base hit and advanced all the way to third on a Jessup error. Three runs scored on the play, making the score 4-0. When David Martinez grounded out to second, O’Neil scored the fifth run of the opening frame. In the top of the fourth, Ryan Desaegher reached on an infield single. He then stole second and advanced to third on a throwing error by the catcher. A single to left center by Haw scored Desaegher, making it a 6-0 game. In the fifth inning, Jonah Paez belted a two-RBI home run over the right-center field fence, driving in Rego who led off the inning with a double down the left field line. After Jessup scored three in the fifth, one in the sixth and three more in the eight to close within one (8-7), Brady Renck walked to lead off the ninth. Renck advanced one base when Reid singled to center. Rudinsky then worked a full-count walk to load the bases with Westmont runners. Then, Rego delivered a sacrifice fly to left to drive in Renck. Bradley Heacock (5-1) picked up the win. He pitched the first six innings allowing four runs on seven hits while striking out four. No Warrior pitchers issued a walk in the early game. Sam Kim came into the game in the seventh inning and retired the side in order. In the eighth, however, the game got away from Kim who gave up three runs on four hits without securing an out. Cameron Phelps was called on to relieve Kim.

Phelps coaxed a double play out of the first batter he faced, then struck out the next to stay the damage. Phelps returned for the final inning, retiring the side in order to record his first save of the 2022 campaign. The second game saw runs scored in every inning except the sixth. Westmont scored the game’s first two runs in the top of the first. After a one-out walk to Renck, Reid singled up the middle. Renck advanced to third on the play due to a Jessup error. Bryce McFeely came in as a courtesy runner for Reid and promptly stole second, just ahead of a single by Rego that brought both runners home. Westmont added another run to go up 3-0 on a sacrifice fly by center fielder Jack Fletcher. After Jessup scored four runs in the bottom of the third to take a 4-3 lead, Westmont pushed five men across the plate in the top of the fourth to go up 8-4. Haw knocked an RBI single into left to start the scoring. Then, Renck cranked a two-RBI home run beyond the right field fence. After a single by Reid, Rudinsky delivered another two-run blast to right. Jessup, however, still had some fight in them and scored three times in the bottom of the fourth and once in the bottom of the fifth to tie the game at eight runs apiece. After a scoreless sixth, Westmont was looking for a way to avoid extra innings. With one away, Desaegher doubled to left field. Then with two outs, Haw singled to left field to drive in Desaegher and put the Warriors up 9-8. After driving in what would eventually prove to be the winning run, Haw moved from shortstop to the mound to try and preserve the Warriors’ advantage. The move worked as Haw retired the side in order, giving Westmont its fifth straight win. Daniel Patterson, who pitched a scoreless eighth inning for Westmont, was awarded the first win of his collegiate career in just his second appearance. With the trip to northern California in the rearview mirror, Westmont will now head to Glendale, Arizona next weekend to take on the Firestorm of Arizona Christian (18-7, 7-3). The four-game series will take place at Glendale Community College on Friday and Saturday with the doubleheaders beginning at 11:00 a.m. on both days.

Six All-Americans deliver ninth place finish for Westmont women’s swimming By RON SMITH WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

With just six swimmers on its national roster, Westmont Women’s Swimming finished up the NAIA National Championship as the ninth team in the nation. The Warriors scored 151 points to make the top-10 and would likely have finished as high as seventh had the flu not caused Westmont to pull out of two events. “It is unbelievable to finish ninth with just six swimmers,” said Westmont head coach Jill Jones Lin. “It was impressive to see their grit and their determination to get on the podium and to score points. “We go into this meet without having expectations, partially because we don’t ever see these teams and we don’t know anything about their swimmers and their depth. So, it is super fun to be surprised by what we can do.” “It is cool to think that we can compete with some of these larger teams,” noted Rian Lewandowski. “All of our races counted. Every relay, every individual race, every top-16 finish and making it back to finals counted and went toward something.” The final championship day started with Bridget Hoth competing in the 100 yard

freestyle. Hoth posted a time of 54.75, but missed advancing to the finals. “It was Bridget’s last individual event,” noted Jones Lin. “She had a good swim. It was solid for her.” The only other race for the Warriors in the morning session was Ella Chaisson in the prelims of the 200 yard breaststroke. Chaisson recorded a time of 2:25.17 and finished eighth to earn a place in the evening session finals. “Ella had nearly a perfect race in the 200 yard breaststroke,” said Jones Lin of Chaisson’s preliminary swim. “There wasn’t a whole lot I would have said could have been better. She snuck into the ‘A’ final, which she has developed a knack for doing.” The first event of the evening session was the 1,650 yard freestyle, which is the longest event of the meet. The biggest question going into the event was whether or not Morgan Bienias, who held the NAIA’s fastest qualifying time this year, would be sufficiently recovered from her illness to be able to compete. “It was really crazy and unfortunate,” said Bienias of her week. “I had the flu on Wednesday, then I swam on Thursday because I felt a little better. It went downhill from

there and I scratched an event on Friday. Today was the first day I felt really good. I just tried to be positive to swim the mile. I wanted to finish strong.” “Morgan going in being ranked number one is so challenging,” explained Jones Lin. “On top of that, having the week she had is so daunting. I have never seen her so confident in what she has done and how she has prepared. She had an attitude of whatever happens, happens and she was just going to go for it.” Bienias finished in fifth place with a time of 17:42.72 to earn AllAmerican honors. “She raced really hard and was just four seconds off her lifetime best time, which, in a mile, is just a couple of tenths every lap,” said Jones Lin. “It was a really great race.” “During warm up, I didn’t feel like I had my stamina,” admitted Bienias. “I was doing pace and I got a little scared. However, I knew that there are bad days all the time at practice, so, I’ve been through it all and knew I just needed to push through it and do it. “I added a little bit on my time, but I’m not surprised. I am actually really happy. I felt strong and I didn’t think I would. “I am so excited to be an AllAmerican. It means everything.

UCSB track competes in Long Beach Opener By DANIEL MOEBUS-BOWLES UCSB SPORTS WRITER

The UCSB Gauchos were able to showcase a multitude of track and field events for the first time this season, many of which had not yet been seen during the previous indoor season, competing at the Long Beach Opener the past two days. Freshman Jessica Swalve would begin the invite with a leading mark in the javelin throw and a distance of 42.05m to earn fifth place overall and in her flight. Two sophomore Gauchos established themselves in the hammer throw, Jared Freeman throwing 59.25m followed by a 52.73m mark for Gabriela Sanchez. She would go on to shoot 45.58 in the discus the next morning. In the triple jump, junior Jianna Boston placed fourth with her impressive mark of 11.23m. Freshman Eitan Goore had a remarkable feat in the pole vault to kick off his first competitive season at UCSB. He earned a 4.83m mark which would give him the first place standing on the podium.

San Marcos track competes in Don Green Invitational Despite cold and windy conditions, there were some great performances by the Royals in the Don Green Invitational Friday and Saturday. Justin Hess came in 5th in the 200 at 22.88 a personal best for him and ran 11.46 in the 100. Jonas Strand was 4th in the 400 meters with

Saturday opened up with a 47.24 400m relay from the Gaucho women. Freshman Jessica Boyd, sophomores Mariana Lanz and Emma Barthel and junior Alexa Cuevas partnered up for this event. Later in the 400m, junior Brendan Fong finished his lap in a speedy time of 49.48 for fourth place. Running two laps in a time of 2:17.03, junior Lauren Gerhart would have a podium finish in the 800m, making it a competitive race as she crossed the finish line milliseconds behind her competitors. In the same event, junior Jimmy Chahal and senior Jarett Chinn, hot on his teammate’s heels, raced to earn times of 1:53.50 and 1:53.84 for fourth and fifth place in their main events. The Gauchos will now return home for their sole home meet of the year, The UCSB Invite, which is a three-day invite starting on Wednesday and ending on Friday.

a time of 53.50 Lucas Chin was 3rd in the triple jump 42-4. Ethan Dwelley, Jacob Snodgress, Justin Hess and Bryan Edgar were 2nd in the Distance Medley Relay at 10:51 which was run Friday night. Makenzie Fauver was 2nd in the 300 hurdles with a big personal record of 47.41 and came in 4th in the 100 hurdles running 16.06, another personal record. Clara Tracewell was 5th in the shot put with

Swimming with really fast competitors and getting AllAmerican is so cool and I am really proud of myself and of our team.” Bienias, however, was not the only Warrior to stand on the podium after the event. Olivia Garrison placed eighth in the 1,650 with a time of 17:54.50 and also received All-American honors. “I was so proud of Olivia that she was eighth place and became an All-American. She had a really full week and it is hard to get out and swim the mile at the end of a long week like this. “The exhaustion of the whole season really shows, but I am really proud of Olivia and Morgan.” In the finals of the 200 yard breaststroke, Chaisson, improved her morning time by 2.22 seconds to claim sixth place in the event and garner her fifth All-American title of the championship – three in individual events and two in relays. “Ella had a great swim this morning, but she was able to race tonight and out-touch another swimmer,” said Jones Lin.” The final race of the championship is always the 400 yard freestyle relay “It was always one of the most fun relays,” said Lewandowski

who swam the anchor leg. “It’s one of the toughest because it is always at the end when everyone is tired. We also had to wait for a while because diving was going on. Everyone gets super excited for the 400 relay and we had a ton of energy going into it.” “The 400 yard relay is always a tough race for us because we don’t have any true sprinters besides Bridget,” noted Jones Lin. “A lot of these teams have at least two top 100 yard freestylers, but we only had one 100 yard freestyler. The team fought really hard and it was a great way to end the event and the whole season.” The Westmont quartet of Garrison, Hoth, Chaisson and Lewandowski finished in 11th place and set a new school record in the process, posting a time of 3:38.51. The Warriors will be bringing back a good bit of hardware earned at this championship. All six members of the team leave Columbus as an All-American. Altogether, Westmont earned five All-American plaques in individual events and two AllAmerican honors in relays. In addition, the Warriors rewrote seven school records. Their success is all the more remarkable when one realizes that half the national team (Chaisson, Garrison and Ellie Muench) was composed

John Randall Enholm left this earth February 5th, in his sleep, after having just enjoyed an epic day with friends and family. John always considered Santa Barbara home but had relocated to Paso Robles about 5 years ago. He is gone too soon. John was born in Washington D.C., January 22, 1959, but moved to Santa Barbara before starting school. Like any of us who were lucky enough to grow up in Santa Barbara in the ‘60s and ‘70s, he had a great childhood, attending Vieja Valley, La Colina and San Marcos High School. A gifted athlete and waterman, John excelled in youth sports and as an adult at surfing and tennis. The youngest of four brothers, his brothers like to think they had something to do with John’s success, but John did it “his way.” John graduated from UC San Diego where he majored in history and played on the volleyball team. He preferred 2-man beach volleyball where his ability to jump and spike, almost anything, made him fun to watch. John studied history because he was fascinated by people. His studies provided an excuse for spending months in Europe, somehow borrowing a motorcycle and doing things like touring Normandy World War II sites, with the motorcycle owner’s daughter on the back. John married the love of his life, Nancy Leslie, in 1989, in Cabo San Lucas, long before destination weddings became a thing. In John fashion, he met Kevin Costner in the bar and was invited to go deep sea fishing the next day. He turned Kevin down not because he had wedding party responsibilities. That would not have deterred John (“Ah, Ah, I think we can get back in time.”). He turned him down because he had no idea who Kevin was. The next chapter in John’s life was raising their 3 children in the art of enjoying life as much as he did. A San Marcos Royal letterman John was proud to see his oldest son play tennis for his alma mater. He then made the switch to green and gold becoming an active Santa Barbara Don’s booster. He was always there supporting his children in each of their chosen sports - tennis, football and diving. If a fundraising event needed a cook or a bartender John was there. He was most happy to see his family grow up with the children of his childhood friends and continue his traditions of friendship. John had a varied career, including a long stint in mortgage banking; but he was willing to work hard at almost anything. Most recently he was a painting estimator and supervised painting crews. This job was a perfect fit. In addition to Nancy, John is survived by his mother, Wilma Grise and his brothers; Bob (Vicky Brademan), Bill (Jennie) and Jim (Cristin) and his stepsisters; Robin Stieber and Joan McGraw. He is also survived by his children; Travis, Russell and Nina and his brothers’ children; Allison Stalla (Zeid), Hayley Harper Swarbrick (Andrew), Casey Salas (Greg), Kyle Enholm and Malaina Enholm. John was pre-deceased by his father Robert W. Enholm, his stepmother Diane B. Enholm, his stepfather Richard F. Grise, M.D. and his stepbrother Robert C. Kohler III. John leaves many, many friends and relatives who miss him and his enthusiasm for most everything dearly. He lives on in their stories and memories. A celebration of life is planned for March 26th, in Santa Barbara. For more information contact billenholm@ gmail.com.

Gaucho women fall to UCI in water polo opener By MICHAEL JORGENSON UCSB SPORTS WRITER

The No. 16 UC Santa Barbara women’s water polo team got big offensive performances out of Sarah Owens and Caitlyn Snyder in Saturday’s 2022 Big West opener at Campus Pool, but it wasn’t enough to slow down No. 6 UC Irvine in a 16-8 defeat. The Anteaters (13-4, 1-0) started strong with two goals in the first two minutes. Both came from Tara Prentice, who went on to lead all players for the day with five. At the 4:49 mark of the first, redshirt junior utility Caitlyn Snyder got the Gauchos (10-8, 0-1) on the board as she slipped one past the UCI defense. The Anteaters would score the next three goals though to take a 5-1 lead. With 1:15 to go in the first,

32-0 feet. Senior Ajha Dennis-Florence had a great day running 13.04 in the 100 and 27.25 in the 200 and is also a part of our 4 x 100 team. “The conditions were very challenging for the athletes, but everyone gave their best effort. Next week we travel to Ventura for the Ventura Invitational,” Coach Marilyn Hantgin told the News-Press in an email.

redshirt junior attacker Sarah Owens put away her first of three goals on the day to make it 5-2. However, UCI’s defense continued to clamp down and the visitors scored another three unanswered. The Gauchos would close the half with some timely momentum. Snyder scored again with 2:04 to go, and a minute later, redshirt freshman attacker Nina Munson got on the scoresheet to cut the lead to 8-4. UCSB continued playing hard out of halftime to keep within striking distance. An Anteater miss led to a long pass over the top to Snyder, who calmly slotted a shot into the left side of the net to make it 9-5. She again cut the lead to four goals with her fourth of the

day several minutes later. Unfortunately for the Gauchos, the comeback effort was cut short as UCI scored the next four goals to take a 14-6 lead. Owens scored twice more for UCSB in the fourth quarter. She also finished with a teamhigh three steals. Freshman goalkeeper Taylor McEvilly played every minute at goalkeeper, finishing with three saves. Big West play will continue next Friday, Mar. 11 when the Gauchos travel to face CSUN at 12:00 p.m. Michael Jorgenson writes about sports for UCSB. email: sports@newspress.com

of freshmen. “I love being with all the freshmen,” said Lewandowski, a junior. “Coming into this program (three years ago), there were only a few upperclassmen because it was brand new. They were great examples to me and I have tried to be that for our current freshmen. By encouraging them, they do the same for me. “The freshmen are what is building this program and making it be this great thing. It is super inspiring to see how well they do. It is easy to encourage them. It just makes me want to do better because they are surpassing us by the second. It is encouraging to have these younger swimmers that push you.” That spirit of unity and encouragement was on display throughout the week. Whether supporting an ill teammate, cheering from poolside or celebrating each other’s accomplishments, the Warriors displayed what can be accomplished by dedicated athletes who are as excited about each other’s successes as they are their own.

BERMUDES, Kevin Paul

Santa Maria 66/36

Vandenberg 62/38

Kevin was born and raised in Santa Barbara by parents Frank Bermudes and Barbara (Schroeder) Bermudes. Kevin was a sweet, shy boy with sun kissed skin and thick straight blonde hair always looking up to his older brother Brian. He was the one who never outgrew his little boy smile and was the one who could make you laugh with just a look. Close to his brother and cousins, he grew up camping, playing sports, taking road trips to watch the Dodgers, skiing in Mammoth and most of all spending summers at Hendry’s Beach “The Pit.” He attended Adams Elementary, La Colina Jr High and San Marcos High School. Kevin loved to cook. He attended the Hotel Restaurant Management (HRC) Program at Santa Barbara City College. He always put his skills to work at family birthdays (he was the designated ice cream scooper), holidays and the annual family Viva la Fiesta Celebrations. You could always ﬁnd “Bubba” behind the grill with a smile on his face. Kevin made the best Thanksgiving turkey gravy every year for his family. Besides cooking, Kevin had many other talents. He was a licensed contractor and owner of Coastline Decks & Fences since 2009. More recently he taught himself wood working and hand crafted beautiful wood bowls that he gave to family and friends to enjoy for years to come. Kevin will be remembered for his kindness and love of his family and his infectious laugh. Kevin is survived by his parents Frank and Barbara, brother Brian, his much loved niece and nephew Kaila and Lance Bermudes. Kevin is also survived by his maternal grandmother Gloria Felix (John), Auntie Linda Romero (Clarence), Uncles, Ed Schroeder (Happy), Ken and Richie Schroeder and Kermit Bermudes (Pauline). First cousins include Richie Romero (Katy), Renee Romero, Michele Lee (Curtis), Kristin Bleecker (Jordan) and step cousins, Jennifer Washburn (Rob), Tim Cooney (Lindsey) and Kara Crisp (Kevin). Kevin was especially grateful for the support he received from his second cousin Maryellen Schroeder and his former sister-in-law Hattie Elbek as he struggled with his demons. Kevin also leaves behind his godparents, Jim and Carol Santoro and numerous extended family and friends in California, New York, and Las Vegas. Kevin was predeceased by his maternal grandfather, Edward P Schroeder, paternal grandparents, Paul and Fairy Bermudes. Kevin was baptized, received the sacraments of First Holy Communion, Conﬁrmation and will now have his Celebration of Life Service at San Roque Catholic Church, 325 Argonne Circle, Santa Barbara on March 9, 2022 at 10:30 a.m. Please join us at Mulligans Cafe, 3500 McCaw Avenue, Santa Barbara immediately following the service to celebrate Kevin’s life.

REVIEW

Saving the universe, exploring his heart ‘Star Trek: Picard’ starts second season on both personal and dramatic notes

PHOTOS BY TRAE PATTON/PARAMOUNT+

Adm. Jean-Luc Picard (Sir Patrick Stewart) and Laris (Orla Brady) oversee grape harvesting at Chateau Picard in the season premiere of “Star Trek: Picard.” The scenes were filmed at Sunstone Winery and its vineyard in Santa Ynez.

At left, Picard runs into an old frenemy: the all-powerful Q (John de Lancie). At right, Whoopi Goldberg returns as the wise bartender Guinan.

Editor’s note: There are plot spoilers in this review, but not all is revealed. By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Space, the final frontier, begins in Santa Ynez. The rural community and its wine country serves as La Barre, France, in “Star Trek: Picard,” and that’s essentially where the first episode of the second season, which promises to be even more dramatic than the first one,

begins. The series streams Thursdays on Paramount+, and the season started last week. In the new season’s first episode, viewers see Adm. JeanLuc Picard (Sir Patrick Stewart) in his civilian clothes and cap, looking dapper and happy as he oversees the grape harvesting during scenes filmed at Sunstone Winery and its vineyard, not far from the Chumash Casino Resort. Winemakers and vineyard managers likely will be interested in seeing how traditional and futuristic techniques blend in

the vineyard, thanks to the visual effects added to the picturesque backdrop of the Santa Ynez Valley. There’s a great celebratory spirit in scenes with nice music and no dialogue. Then the deep conversations start in “Star Trek: Picard,” where Jean-Luc is being told he needs to stop procrastinating in matters of the heart. The first episode succeeds on two levels. First, it goes right into Jean-Luc’s love life or lack of and why the brave space explorer and friend to everyone avoids romantic entanglements. That

does, in fact, make him the polar opposite of one Capt. James T. Kirk, but neither of them scores high for long-term relationships. Secondly, the second season premiere successfully sets the stage for universe-rocking drama. Nothing less than the future is at stake because someone or something is messing with the past and rewriting history. And of course, only Jean-Luc Picard and his team can save everything and everyone. This episode packs sentimental and dramatic punches. First off, Picard runs into his old friend

Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg) at her Los Angeles bar, where the sign “10” is a reference to her old Ten Forward bar on the old Enterprise-D from “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” It’s one of the best scenes ever between the two characters, and Guinan tells Picard to stop making excuses and go after romance. The issue is timely because a woman has confessed her love for Picard. (That character’s name won’t be revealed in this review.) Picard thinks he just wants to be friends because heck, he’s almost a century old, It’s too late

for love at his age! Or so he thinks. But before he can examine his heart too closely, the USS Stargazer and its captain, Chris Rios (Santiago Cabrera), need Picard aboard fast to deal with a space anomaly. Only Picard can help Capt. Rios, who captained last season’s ship for Picard and his motley crew. Two other members of that crew — Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) and robotics scientist Dr. Agnes Jurati (Alison Pill) — are on the bridge too, and Please see PICARD on B4

Last month, 99.9 KTYD dedicated all of February to the Santa Barbara Education Foundation’s Keep the Beat Instrument Drive. The on-air event appealed to the community for donations to Santa Barbara Unified School District music programs and yielded 140 musical instruments and more than $10,000 in support.

! #$ ! % & ' &

The radio event celebrated the power of music education with interviews with music teachers and local professional musicians like Glen Phillips of Toad the Wet Sprocket to young aspiring musicians like Andrew Ji, a Dos Pueblos High School drum major. All joined forces to send the message of the importance of school music programs and ask for donations of used instruments collected at weekly drop-off events. “It meant a lot to me to be at the Keep the Beat radiothon. It helped the music lovers in our community make the connection between their favorite artists and the potential future artists that I have in my music class,” said Brett Larsen, Santa Barbara Junior High music teacher. The efforts yielded everything from more common donations like guitars and violins to the obscure, like an electric ukulele and a didgeridoo from Australia. Although the donations were diverse, the common thread is that they are in the hands of students in SB Unified music programs. Mr. Larsen sees first-hand how donated instruments elevate musical learning opportunities for his students. “To upgrade a promising young musician from a rental quality instrument to a professional quality instrument is priceless. It brings them that much closer to achieving their dreams,” he said. “Special thanks to the Johnson Ohana Foundation, Pacific

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

On Thursday, Girls Inc. of Carpinteria received a $50K grant from the Cottage Hospital Foundation to provide buffering services to local girls and support growth in the organization’s ‘STRONG’ program, which combines physical activity, nutrition, and a healthy living curriculum to engage the mind, body and soul. “Our programs are designed to help girls and their families enhance their ability to handle stress, manage emotions, and tackle everyday challenges – many of which are exacerbated by the ongoing pandemic – while providing a safe and supportive environment. This funding will enable us to expand our programming that promotes overall health awareness through

physical activity, nutrition, and nature, and we are grateful to Cottage Hospital Foundation for recognizing this important need and investing in the well-being of our local girls.” said Jamie Collins, executive director of Girls Inc. Carpinteria. The awarded funds will enable Girls Inc. of Carpinteria to focus on critical areas to support overall health for the girls it serves. Funding for balanced nutrition will allow Girls Inc. to continue its efforts to ensure girls and families are receiving nutritious snacks, meals and food outside of school hours as well as access to nature through its garden spaces on campus. The organization engages girls in learning the process of growing food from seed to plant. The produce is then utilized in the STRONG program to expose girls to foods they might not normally have access to.

Girls Inc.’s focus on physical activity will also be aided by the funds, with a focus on introducing new and alternative physical activities to girls such as hiking, kayaking, rock climbing and surfing. The expansion of Girls Inc.’s STRONG program for teenage girls will allow the organization to bring these experiences to all age groups and other girls within the community. Girls Inc. of Carpinteria’s STRONG program was launched in 2021, through a grant from the Audacious Foundation, to provide enrichment opportunities to girls with a focus on physical education, health and wellness, through skill development, workshops and more.

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.

from setting these ideas into motion, Libra. It could be that there is a small voice in your head telling you to slow down and not automatically accept things and adopt them into your life just because they’re new. Do your best to strike a balance between these two viewpoints. Scorpio: You could feel like you’re walking a puppy that won’t heel, Scorpio. The puppy is curious and, at times, rather reckless. It doesn’t know about the dangers of cars or a twisted leash. You have a great responsibility to teach this dog some lesson, while at the same time giving it a bit of freedom to go out and explore alone. Earn the respect of others by tempering discipline with fun. Sagittarius: Your mental processes may run into a snag as you discover that there are certain rules and guidelines by which you need to abide, Sagittarius. Sometimes you feel as if you’re above all the rules, that you can establish your own based on your personal morals, and that everything will be fine. Unfortunately, you must sometimes obey others’ rules. Capricorn: In all the time spent trying to stabilize your emotions and achieve sensitivity, you may get too caught up in your feelings, Capricorn. Because of this, you may have not been listening to your rational mind lately, even though it’s crying out for you to move forward to a different situation. Take some time to listen to your thoughts and take them more seriously than you have been. Aquarius: The more you can apply to your own life the advice you give to others, the better off you’ll be, Aquarius. No one is going to follow a leader who doesn’t abide by his or her own standards. If you’re going to offer your guidance to someone else, make sure you’re willing to operate by the same rules and accept feedback regarding their effectiveness. Pisces: You may be on a slow, steady track of discipline that embraces an older, more traditional way of looking at things, Pisces. Suddenly, however, you’re hit by an aggressive force urging you to do things differently. The more you try to resist this force, the more it’s apt to cause friction and tension.

“Happiness depends upon ourselves.” — Aristotle

Aries: A radical force seems to be stirring up trouble and challenging your long-established beliefs about how things should be done and what you hold most dear, Aries. The truth is that what you might see as trouble is really a growing pain to be endured as you move to the next step in your personal evolution. Taurus: Things could get a bit tense for you, Taurus. One of your first reactions might be to look to your loved ones for support. Unfortunately, you might find that your standbys aren’t standing by. In fact, it could seem like they’ve joined the opposition. You might at first feel like you’ve been betrayed. Gemini: Parts of your life might seem like gladiatorial games out of ancient Rome. The good news is that if anyone can rise above this situation and see the truth in the matter, it’s you, Gemini. Be careful to not be too obstinate about how to resolve things. This is likely to get you deeper into a mess that you shouldn’t have to deal with in the first place. Cancer: You’re apt to go in circles if you only see the negative side of every situation, Cancer. Your lack of perspective could keep you from seeing an answer right in front of you. Your mind is your greatest asset and your worst enemy. Don’t become a victim of its automatic bias toward the negative. Leo: You’re likely to be on a roll with new and innovative ideas about your goals in life, Leo. Unfortunately, there are some obstacles. People who are scared of the new and different are apt to try to toss a monkey wrench into the spokes of your wheels. More than likely, these people are simply reacting out of fear of something they don’t understand. Virgo: Remember that even though there is tension and chaos all around, Virgo, it doesn’t have to affect you. Your motto should be you’re “in it but not of it.” The basis of most feuds boils down to the struggle between the old and the new. Try not to let their battles become yours. Learn from them by staying close enough to observe and understand but far enough away that you keep your hands clean. Libra: While your brain may want to charge ahead with new and revolutionary ideas, there is something holding you back

.F. sends me a photo of his entry hall — and you can see how lovely it is — he has added a piece he found at a thrift store, a series of antique drawers, which are in fact old wooden boxes, and I have discovered for him that these boxes were used for the molding of bricks. The many boxes or molds are set into a wrought iron shelf armature. He also sends me a shot of the bottom of one of these molds, which has mirror-relief logo style lettering. Each drawer/mold has different lettering — some in English; some, the best I can decipher, in Hindi. When I say mirror relief, I mean that to obtain a pattern of lettering on a mold, one has to create the lettering in reverse, or mirror image. So I was able to decipher the lettering by holding the photo to the mirror. And it is interesting to me that both Hindi and English read left to right. Another clue to what these little drawers originally contained in the fact that J.F. says they contained sand. Knowing that we are looking at something used for industry, I asked myself. “What is the history of that industry?” In India, if I am right about reading some of the lettering as Hindi, the traditional methods of brick making are still practiced today. When J.F. asked me about the age of this collection of mold/ drawers, I had to reply that they are not that old because I can see some plastic molds, located on the bottoms of the drawers, which would put them later than 1862. That’s when Parkesine was invented, and that was an early organic plastic. Later, in 1907, we see the invention of synthetic plastic in the development of Bakelite. So now we know that J.F.’s piece is no earlier than the first quarter of the 20th century, which indicates the age of what he has found, but does not indicate the age of the industry for which it was founded. The method of brickmaking hinted upon by these little drawer/molds goes back thousands of years, especially as regards ancient India, and there is residue of that today. The process starts with clay, which is mined and aged in the air, then mixed with water, and in India, sometimes by hand and foot. A lump of clay is rolled and placed in one of those mold boxes that J.F. has, which has been coated with sand and left to dry in

the rack. Traditionally the mold box was wood, which indicates to me the boxes J.F. has, although not old (perhaps early to mid-20th century because of the plastics used), were products of ancient style of mold making. Once the brick is dry, the mold is emptied and dried in the sun. The artisan flips the brick every two days. These are called green bricks, and they are fired in the kiln for at least a week. They are then sorted, and the baked bricks are the most desired. The green ones line the outside of the kilns in India. I myself have a special connection with brick manufacture, as my greatgrandfather Gustav was a brick engineer outside of Leipzig, Germany. He invented a type of kiln which is used in India today. He died at the age of 50 shifting

bricks. His son, my “Opa.” also became a great inventor. I visited that spot where Gustav built his kiln in the 1970s, sneaking behind the East German Iron Curtain (oh, the boldness of youth!) An article published in the National Geographic by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Paul Salopek in 2019 speaks of the dire conditions of brick laborers in present-day India. Most of the workers are women, and bricks are very heavy, yet the kilns in India produce 250 billion bricks a year, second only in production to China. The normal workday, according to Salopek, is 12 to 18 hours a day in shifting brick from the very molds we see that J.F. now owns in Santa Barbara. The great-granddaughter of a brick mason, who, because of J.F.’s question, has learned that the history of brick manufacture

Whether it is a code of some sort, someone’s initials or a political statement, graffiti is just that: a message left by someone longing to be heard and seen,” according to Ms. Duran.

goes back well past the Roman Empire, which used baked brick in enormous quantities. You may be surprised to know how necessary bricks are and always were- the Empire State Building used 10 million bricks in this construction. I adore JF’s brick mold rack as a piece of sculpture: I am not sure about its heritage. Still the value is $2,000, as I see the molds are sought after.

Familiar faces from season one, Next Generation make appearances PICARD

Continued from Page B1 that’s where things get exciting and troublesome. Red alert! At some point in this episode — and it won’t be spoiled here — Jean-Luc encounters an old frenemy: Q (the talented John de Lancie). And that sets the stage for a season devoted to Picard and his friends going back to the 21st century to correct the timeline and save the future. The drama is intense. The personal questions are deep. The plot twists are intriguing. The cast is talented, and Sir Patrick Stewart is brilliant as usual. And viewers get to catch up with Soji (Isa Briones), the synthetic lifeform and “daughter” of Data, who has found her place among the stars. The episode’s only flaw is Picard being this uncertain about his emotions in the romance department at this point in his life. He’s better than that. But there’s the promise he will deal with his personal issues and stop avoiding commitment. Right after he saves the universe. email: dmason@newspress.com
