Council to mull business improvement districts assessments

Movie theaters begin reopening

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara City Council will consider appropriate protests to the renewal of the downtown and old town business improvement districts assessments for 2021. The improvement districts have provided marketing and promotional services for downtown businesses for several decades, and merchants in both pay for the services through an assessment based on their business license fee, location and type of business. The downtown and old town business improvement district revenues are projected to generate approximately $170,000 in business assessments to fund marketing and promotional activities for downtown businesses, according to the staff report. On June 30, 2020, the City Council approved an annual agreement with Downtown Santa Barbara to provide $310,000 for marketing, promotion and event services. Combined with other revenue sources, Downtown Santa Barbara has an estimated total budget of $579,130. Under state law, the council is required to Please see council on A2

Film titles are beginning to fill marquees, a promising sign for cinephiles and Santa Barbara County’s local theaters. But with the emergence of online streaming services, theaters are struggling to fill seats. Metropolitan Theatres, which runs seven cinemas in the county, is opening two of its locations. Camino Real Cinemas in Goleta welcomes moviegoers Friday, and Fiesta 5 Theatres in Santa Barbara will open its doors March 31. Cinemark’s two movie theaters in Ventura and Oxnard opened over the weekend. In central Santa Barbara County, family-owned Cal-Gran Theaters is keeping its indoor locations in Lompoc and Buellton closed. “Once we go into the next tier, we’ll start evaluating and seeing what’s out there,” one of the Cal-Gran family members (who declined to publish first and last names) said. “We’re not going to open until we can hit 50% capacity and there is enough content to have people come.” In addition to its four indoor theaters, Cal-Gran also owns two drive-in theaters, one in Santa Maria and the other in Madera. Business at the drive-in theaters has been “hit or miss” with cooler weather. “We’re not getting a lot of new Please see movies on A3

The New Beginnings Safe Parking Program provides a safe place to sleep at night for people that are homeless and living out of their vehicle, and can provide 24-hour restroom service via portable bathrooms. Renting the restrooms is estimated to cost $4,100 annually. In other business, the council will receive the proposed timeline and points of negotiation for disposition and development agreement for the Surfliner Inn Project. The purpose of the item is to describe the lnn Project, describe key terms of negotiation, and propose a DDA negotiation timeline. ln addition, the item will outline the aspects of the DDA negotiation that the City Council will have in closed session in order to preserve the city’s position in negotiations.

Solvang City Council to respond to Sheriff request to extend dispute resolution period By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Today, the Solvang City Council will respond to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s request to extend the law enforcement services contract dispute resolution period as requested by the sheriff. His request was to extend the period by 45 days to attempt to resolve the city’s dispute of law enforcement services contract as proposed by the county. The Sheriff’s Office presented the city with a proposed FY 2021-22 compensation amount of $2,479,765, which represents a cost increase of nearly 37%. The Carpinteria City Council approved Sheriff Brown’s time extension request on March 8, 2021. The City of Buellton agreed to the requested extension on March 12, 2021. The Goleta City Council is scheduled to consider the extension on March 16, 2021.

Then, the City Council will be asked to authorize two agreements. One is with LIN Consulting, Inc. for the preparation of construction plans and specifications for the Carpinteria Avenue and Palm Avenue Intersection Improvements Project, and approving the related budget appropriation of $25,000. The other is with Pacific Civil Solutions, Inc. for Pedestrian Bridge Inspection Services and a budget appropriation of $70,000.

Ordinance Committee to discuss affordable housing issues council

Continued from Page A1 conduct an annual public hearing to consider protests to renew the assessments. In other business, the council will be recommended to uphold the appeal of the Public Works Department and grant project design and final approval of the Westside Community Paseos Project and find that the Sola Street bike-friendly street diverters are required for functional safety. “Public Works staff and the city’s traffic engineer believe that the functionality and engineering features of the project are necessary to safely implement the City Council approved bikefriendly street and disagree with the HLC’s determination that the project visually disrupts the historic city grid and blocks views of the mountains,” the staff report reads. “For improvement of the aesthetics of the project, staff recommends that a landscape

architect be retained, and requests that one or two HLC members volunteer to work with the staff team to provide recommendations on landscape and materials.” In addition, council members will consider approving the Fiscal Year 2022 funding recommendations of the Community Development and Human Services Committee (CDHSC) for use of Human Services and Community Development Block Grant funds. They will also be asked to authorize the community development director to negotiate and execute grant agreements implementing the funding recommendations, subject to review and approval as to form by the city attorney and conduct a public hearing to gain input on the city’s annual action plan for FY 2022. Of the total $1,745,691, the following is available per funding category: Public/Human Service: $860,587; Capital: $645,855; CDBG Administration/Fair Housing:

$239,249. The Ordinance Committee will also meet at 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday to discuss zoning ordinance amendments and objective design standards for affordable streamlined housing projects. Because Senate Bill 35 was signed into law providing a streamlined, ministerial approval process for housing projects, amendments are necessary because reviewing eligible multi-unit housing projects for compliance with objective design standards rather than for consistency with subjective design guidelines is a significant change from the city’s typical review and approval process for new development. The regular City Council meeting will begin at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, and can be viewed on city TV channel 18 or streamed live at www.santabarbaraca.gov/ CAP.

The City of Lompoc Recreation Division in collaboration with Kiwanis Club of Lompoc is offering the community the opportunity to participate in a drive-through Easter egg hunt. The Lompoc Kiwanis Easter Egg Hunt Drive-Thru will kick off at 10 a.m. on Saturday, April 3, at Ryon Memorial Park. This free-of-charge event is open to all children 12 and younger, while supplies last. Participants are invited to wave at the Easter Bunny who will hop over to Ryon Memorial Park for the occasion, and take home a treat bag filled with candy eggs and other goodies. By request, Lompoc Recreation Division staff will take photos of the Easter Bunny near a participant’s vehicle, and share on the recreation division’s Facebook page. To ensure the safety of all participants, the following rules will be in effect: vehicles must enter the park entrance off of “O” street and follow the traffic route — participants are asked to use Cypress Avenue and south O street to enter, and refrain from using Ocean Avenue; motorists are asked to drive with extreme caution and obey all traffic laws; all participants must remain in their vehicle. There will be no pedestrian traffic allowed; if participants are wearing masks and feel comfortable, they may roll down their windows to wave hello to the bunny. Guidelines may vary or change. This year’s event is sponsored in part by Toyota of Lompoc and Rockin’ Jump Trampoline Park of Santa Maria. Questions from the public regarding this year’s event should be directed to the Lompoc Recreation Division at (805) 8758100. — Gerry Fall

CEC offers online electric vehicle clinic

Lompoc offers drive-thru Easter egg hunt

The Community Environmental Council is offering an affordable Electric Vehicle clinic on Tuesday, March 23, from 12:00 - 1:15 p.m. This free virtual clinic is open to the public and will be presented in English with Spanish interpretation. Low- and moderate-income households are especially encouraged to attend since they may qualify for increased rebates and incentives that will allow them to get a very low-cost or free electric Vehicle. The Community Environmental Council can help lowerincome residents apply for $11,000 toward the purchase of an electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid that will save the recipient money. Anyone in a low-to-moderate income household who wants to purchase or lease an EV can also receive free purchase guidance from CEC, which will help them apply for EV incentives and switch to a low-cost or free EV that meets their needs. With new technology, infrastructure, rebates, and incentives, purchasing or leasing an electric vehicle is more affordable and easier than ever before. Electric vehicles are a great solution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening the economy, and improving public health and the environment. The transportation sector currently accounts for about 40% of Greenhouse Gas emissions in Santa Barbara County and 50% of GHG emissions in California. In an effort to combat this issue, Governor Newsom has adopted an executive order stating that by 2035 all new vehicles sold in California must be zero emission vehicles. As a way continue to combat climate change and transition from fossil fuels, one way residents can get involved is by switching to an electric vehicle, according to a news release.

The Santa Barbara County Education Office awarded 19 remote instruction innovation grants to educators countywide, SBCEO announced Friday. The winners received up to $700 to purchase materials or pursue professional development. A selection committee of educators and community members reviewed each application. Recipient Laura Ishikawa, a teacher at Hancock Preschool, is using her funds to develop a video library for children and families to engage in learning activities at home. Fe Demition at Miller School distributed learning supply packs with tools to learn math, reading and build literacy. She integrates these new supplies into her lessons. Krista Caniano at Lompoc Valley Middle School came up with a way to guide her students through their online courses. “If students cannot log into online learning independently, they need a modified approach. The individual login books I use give a pictorial view, so they can learn step by step how to attend their online courses and complete online work,” she said. Lara Willbanks, a teacher at San Marcos High School, developed a five-minute exercise to focus on students’ mental-emotional wellbeing before each class. “Educators employed novel strategies, developed new techniques and created engaging student projects while utilizing inclusive learning spaces and attending to students’ social and emotional needs,” said Dr. Susan Salcido, Santa Barbara County Superintendent of Schools. “We value our partnerships with the businesses and organizations that make innovation grants possible.” Cox Communication, Anthem BlueCross, Montecito Bank & Trust and Southern California Edison partnered with the education office to fund the projects. “Throughout our history, Cox has been committed to supporting education in the communities we serve,” said Kirsten McLaughlin, market vice president for Cox Communications in Santa Barbara. “This past year presented unforeseen challenges to educators. We’re honored to support the innovative work done by the Santa Barbara County Education Office through these grants to keep scholars connected to their curriculum, extracurricular activities and peers.” Future grants for educators will be posted at teachersnetwork.sbceo.org.

Every other row of seats are taped off inside theaters, and three seats are left in-between groups. Audiences must wear masks, unless actively eating or drinking. Under red-tier guidelines, theaters can fill 25% of its seats. Mr. Corwin hopes counties move toward the orange tier. “Because of L.A. being open and these significant summer films on the schedule, it does feel different this time,” he said. Camino Real Cinemas and Fiesta 5 Theatres both opened in October but closed within weeks. The private showing option was popular, allowing up to 20 people in a theater for a flat fee. People brought movies and held birthday parties, and Mr. Corwin considers the program a success. Some locations also offered weekend snacks via food delivery apps like DoorDash. “The theater really helps us escape the reality that we’ve been enduring for the past year,” Mr. Corwin said.

A few years later the family moved to Glenwood, MN to raise their growing family and farm the family land. After graduating High School Glady went to Northwest Institute of Medical Technology in Minneapolis, MN and earned a certicate to work as a Lab and Xray Technician. She relocated to California in 1968 and raised her three children. Glady worked for the Orthopedic Surgical Practice in Santa Barbara and then Goleta starting in the late seventies for almost 40 years scheduling surgeries where at the young age of 81 she reluctantly retired. All those who knew her will agree she was a strong, hardworking, proud Norwegian woman who took pride in her work. Glady loved “her” Doctors, co-workers and patients she worked with and missed them terribly. We will remember her as a beautiful person who walked condently through life with grace, compassion and love for everyone. A celebration of life will be held soon.

HEALEY, Genevieve Marie 1942 - 2021

Genevieve Marie Healey, our much-loved mother and grandmother, passed away peacefully in her home on March 12, 2021, surrounded by her family. She was a ghter and survived pancreatic cancer for over four years. Genevieve was born on February 1, 1942 to the late Henry and Genevieve Crawford in Greenwich, Connecticut and was one of six children. She attended St. Mary’s High School and Albertus Magnus College. She married her high school sweetheart, William P. Healey, and they moved across the country and found success in California, eventually settling in Santa Barbara in the early 1980s. Genevieve went on to get her nursing degree, just like her mother and sister Barbara Gallo. She also loved volunteering for the local community and particularly enjoyed volunteering at Lotusland. Genevieve was a devoted mother and her greatest joy in life were her children, grandchildren and great-grandchild. She was the family rock, hosting beautiful gatherings for every holiday and important occasion. She also made sure the family kept in close contact with relatives from the east coast, coordinating frequent trips to see grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Genevieve was a devout Catholic and attended mass at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel nearly every day. She was grateful that she was able to see the Pope John Paul II in Rome and while he visited Los Angeles and had quite the collection of beautiful rosary beads that were blessed by him. Genevieve is survived by four children, Christine Looper, Linda Goodwin, Michael Healey and his wife Laura, and Carolyn Healey. Her eleven grandchildren were the light of her life: Jennifer Hirsch, Taylor Starling and Owen Stagnaro; Cody, Brooke, Skyler, Chad and Riley Goodwin; and Alexis and Jake Healey. A church service will be held on March 29, 2021 at 10:00am at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church. Cemetery service will be private. In lieu of owers, the family asked that donations be made to Catholic Charities of Santa Barbara.

GROSS, A.

October 18, 1924-January 20, 2021

Longtime Rancho Palos Verdes resident Betty Gross relocated to a retirement home in Santa Barbara, where she succumbed to atherosclerotic heart disease and complications from dementia and the Coronavirus. She and Herb (d. 2002) were avid travelers, loyal Dodgers fans, and active members of St. Margaret Mary Parish in Lomita. Born and raised in Rochester, New York, Betty and Herb were married in 1946 after Herb returned from military service in World War II. A year later, they welcomed their son Tom into the world, and they followed their beloved Dodgers to California in 1953, where they lived ever since. Betty spent the bulk of her career as a secretary at Hughes Aircraft Company, but also worked alongside Herb to manage rental properties in Hawaii and California. Big Bear was a frequent weekend destination and served as a second home for many years. Betty loved welcoming people into her home, and was a seasoned host for parties. She always wanted to make people feel like they belonged and were appreciated, and she maintained ties to loved ones around the world with handwritten letters and cards when visits were not feasible. She is survived by her sister Katherine (Kay), her son Tom, his wife, Maureen, and grandsons Steve and Sean. She will be laid to rest alongside her husband, who has patiently waited for her for eighteen years. A faithful Catholic, Betty sought the One who called her name, and who has called her to new life. In lieu of owers, please donate in Betty’s name to the charity of your choice. O Lord, with your eyes set upon me, gently smiling, you have spoken my name; all I longed for I have found by the water, At your side, I will seek other shores. Due to the pandemic, a graveside rite of interment at Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City must be small. If you would like to attend the service virtually, there will be a live video stream of the event. The link is https://vimeo.com/event/785180 Graveside service is Monday March 22nd, Live stream starts at 11:00 am - approx. 12:00 pm.

Legacy of knowledge Paul Collins retires after 40 plus-year career at natural history museum

COURTESY PHOTOS

“I always enjoyed finding and observing birds, lizards, snakes and frogs,” said Paul W. Collins, who has retired from the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History.

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

There are a number of things that Paul W. Collins misses since he retired in January as curator of vertebrate zoology at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, where he was on the staff for almost half a century. “The diversity: preparing specimens for the research collections, helping with museum exhibits like the rehabilitation of the blue whale skeleton near the entrance to the museum, leading field trips to places like the Channel Islands, Carrizo Plain and Carpinteria Marsh, and interacting with co-workers, the public and personnel in agencies like the California Department of Fish & Wildlife,” Mr. Collins told the News-Press from his home in Santa Ynez, where he has lived for 33 years. Anything he doesn’t miss? “Oh, yes, preparing stinky specimens like skunks and harvesting the skeleton from rotten whales on the beach. And I don’t miss the daily commute over San Marcos Pass.” Vertebrate zoology, he explained, is the study of animals with backbones — birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians and fish. “Everything from the tiniest shrew and hummingbird to the largest whale,” said Mr. Collins, whose interest in science began when he was in elementary school growing up in Sierra Madre, where his father worked as a structural engineer. “I always enjoyed finding and observing birds, lizards, snakes and frogs.” He came to Santa Barbara to attend high school at St. Anthony’s Seminary, then located on the hill above the museum. “Father Anthony Bauman, my biology teacher, introduced me to the museum staff and exhibits at the museum, to birding, bird banding, small museum trapping and how to prepare museum study skins,” said Mr. Collins. After two years at Pasadena City College, he transferred to UCSB, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in zoology while also volunteering at the museum. “When I graduated, I was hired to work in the Department of Vertebrate Zoology by the acting curator, Waldo Abbott. In the

late 1970s, I returned to UCSB to pursue a master’s degree in zoology, which I completed in 1982,” said Mr. Collins. Beside Mr. Abbott, there were two other staff members who played pivotal roles in his career. “Charles Woodhouse Jr. was curator of vertebrate zoology for 20 years. He was a marine biologist, and I assisted him with necropsies of dead marine mammals that washed up on the beaches. We had a great working relationship. He allowed me the opportunity to expand my research horizons in a variety of different areas,” said Mr. Collins. “When Dennis Power became executive director of the museum, he sparked my interest in the Channel Islands. Dennis had his ornithology degree from the University of Kansas, a real hotbed for ornithology, and used some of his grant money to pay half of my salary for field trips to the islands to study the birds.” This ultimately led to the

project Mr. Collins is working on now, a book titled “Birds of California’s Channel Islands: Their Status and Abundance.” “The last book on Channel Island birds was written in 1917. There is a huge amount of data I have been able to tap into. My book summarizes information about the birds from 1843 to 2021,” he said. “I have completed 390 species accounts for the book and still have 61 to go. I am on the downhill slope and plan to complete the book by early summer. One good thing about the pandemic is that it has allowed me to focus on the book.” Especially eager for him to finish is his wife Tina Collins, who is retired from her 35-year career as a nurse at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. “We’re looking forward to traveling around the United States and Canada, which will include visits with our children Carrie, a lawyer in Santa Rosa; Sierra, a

first grade teacher on the White River Apache Reservation near Pinetop, Arizona; and Joseph, a doctor of osteopathic medicine, in Thousand Oaks,” said Mr. Collins. Paying tribute to the retiree’s accomplishments in a recent museum newsletter, Luke J. Swetland, president and CEO, wrote the following: “It is hard to summarize the breadth of work that Collins has been involved with while working at the museum — exhibits, education, field trips, collections management, contracted studies and peerreviewed research. During four decades, he has authored 72 peer-reviewed publications, 19 other publications and manuscripts, 120 environmental consulting reports and 69 contract reports, presented 39 posters and papers at scientific meetings, and given more than 80 public talks/ lectures. “What a body of work!” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

The Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History has benefited from Mr. Collins’ work for more than 40 years.

Mr. Collins’ work has included preparing specimen collections and museum exhibits.

Street painting festival planned The annual I Madonnari Italian Street Painting Festival is set for May 29-31. The virtual festival will feature artists’ chalk drawings on driveways. For information, including details on sponsorships, go to imadonnarifestival.com. — Dave Mason

O.L.’s painting is representative of a genre that plays around with architecture and reality.

bet you did not know that there’s a certain genre style in painting, employed when 16th19th century painters were commissioned to portray architecture, that deliberately depicts great architecture often in crumbling ruins in a complete fantasy? Why do this at all? This is a style that imagines architecture as mere fodder for art and aims to convey a scene of absurdity and humor, often in

grand scale. This is the genre of O.L.’s painting, which is massive, at 52 x 43 inches. And the story of how she acquired it is equally huge. O.L. was hired in the 1980s to haul away unwanted furniture for the remodel of the Hotel del Coronado in San Diego, where she saw a wooden crate with antique style lettering. She asked what the director wanted for the crate, thinking it might contain something interesting. $200 was the reply.

COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA SOUTH BOARD OF ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING CASE NUMBER:

So she took a chance. When the art was uncrated, she would own a massive Capriccio painting, although until today she has not known about the genre. Capriccio paintings show huge ruins placed illogically in fantasy landscapes, with imagined people, or sculpture; fountains spray plumes in the middle of nowhere, and cows amble amongst Roman columns, sometimes with volcanos in the background. And no one seems to worry. The work is not meant to be representational although it is a style of Classicism. It is a take- off on landscape paintings of great sweep and scale with peasants and animals in a lush landscape called Verdute, a particular love of the French. The style began in the 16th century with the desire for fantasy paintings created with a mural style. They would appear on an expanse of ceiling in the great Italian noble halls, poking lighthearted fun at the architecture of the palace or mansion. The style caught on fire throughout Europe, and the wealthy commissioned Capriccio through the early 19th century for easel paintings. The highpoint of this style is the 17th century when great artists such as Canaletto and Claude Lorrain painted in this genre. Today, when we see such fantasies, we fail to understand

the lighthearted humor. They look too predictable, but, in the day, their unpredictability was the point for viewers in the late Renaissance into the Baroque and through the 18th century. (Don’t forget, we had no movies to take us to an unreal landscape back then.) Here are two features of this style which are in fact in modern parlance, highly surrealistic. One is the imagination of those artists, who often re-imagined existing monumental structures, portraying them as ruins in the future. The other taste of surrealism is the juxtaposition of compositional elements that would never be seen together in real life, such as the cows in a mud bath lower right quadrant of O.L.’s painting, with the female Venus sculpture to their right and the Classical ruins stretching into the distance mid-ground for miles and miles. The tradition of perspective was important to this genre, but was often played with, to create receding piles of ruins, or processions of animals or people snaking through towering ruins. The ruins were often invented, or changed in scale, or teetering, or overgrown with exotic fauna. Why portray ruins at all? This is a style of memento mori. In other words, all things decay and die, even the most gorgeous built environment, and they go back to

the cows and the peasants. The period of the architecture portrayed was also not historically accurate. Tuscan villages lurk behind Roman, medieval, and, in fact ,sometimes Egyptian ruins. Illogically clothed or unclothed figures are dwarfed by crumbling columns whilst doing something plebeian. They’re not minding the disaster overhead as water features are abutted against sides of ruins, which are about to fall upon various heads. And cows roam around, sometimes mingling with soldiers or camels or sheep. This painting dates from the mid-18th century, although I cannot identify the artist, and indeed, the artist didn’t always sign in this genre. It has a fabulous 19th century frame. Unattributed paintings prices for this style are not high, but works by the masters of this style command six figures. It has been recently restored by the fabulous Scott Haskins at Fine Art Conservation Labs in Santa Barbara, and of course, as it is wont to be found, has had decades of overpainting to make it more pleasing to the era of the viewer. Dr. Elizabeth Stewart’s “Ask the Gold Digger” column appears Mondays in the News-Press Life section. Written after her father’s COVID-19 diagnosis, Dr. Stewart’s book “My Darlin’ Quarantine: Intimate Connections Created in Chaos” is a humorous collection of five “what-if” short stories that end in personal triumphs over presentday constrictions. It’s available at Chaucer’s in Santa Barbara.

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.

Gauchos can’t hold late lead, lose to Fullerton By GERRY FALL

can they hit, they can all hit the ball over the fence. The offense has been fantastic. We’ve had some blips here and there, the second game of the doubleheader (on Saturday) we gave away some at-bats, but they bounced back today. They’ve been resilient. They’ve had to be because our bullpen has been so leaky. The offense has had to keep fighting and scrapping, and they’ve done a good job with it.” Despite giving up four runs in five innings, Boone graded out well with his head coach. Checketts liked his aggressive approach that lacked a bit in his previous start against the University of San Francisco. “The numbers weren’t as good as last week, but the process was better,” Checketts said. “Last week I know he only gave up one hit (in seven innings), but I don’t think anyone felt really comfortable with the approach and the stuff and the aggressiveness and the intent. Today, I thought it was better. “I thought it was progress, I thought it was a step in the right direction. I know the box score won’t agree with me, but the box score is not as accurate in terms of the process.” UCSB resumes Big West Conference play with a four-game home series against UC Davis which gets underway on Friday at 3 p.m.

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Despite two home runs from Broc Mortensen, the UCSB baseball team lost to Cal State Fullerton, 10-9, in 10 innings on Sunday at Goodwin Field in Fullerton. In defeat, the Gauchos (11-7, 2-2 Big West Conference) settled for a split of the four-game series after they won the first two, 9-1 and 11-4. But on Sunday, despite a strong offensive showing, UCSB’s bullpen failed. Relievers Chris Troye, Carter Benbrook, Ryan Harvey and Conner Dand each allowed at least one run, with Troye and Harvey allowing two runs each. Left-hander Rodney Boone went the first five innings, during which he allowed four runs on five hits with three strikeouts and two walks. The Gaucho bullpen allowed eight walks bringing the total for the game to 10. UCSB pitchers combined to strikeout 11 batters, but it was the walks that eventually did them in. “We walked 10 and they walked one, there’s your game right there. Cut that in half and we win in regulation. We wouldn’t need that extra inning,” Gaucho coach Andrew Checketts said. “I may have to make a change and get different people down there (in the bullpen).” Checketts, who was visibly frustrated after the Gauchos blew a 7-4 lead in the seventh inning on Sunday, even went as far as suggesting he might move Michael McGreevy out of the starting rotation and put him in the bullpen. McGreevy is one of the top starting pitchers in the Big West Conference. “I’m even considering pulling McGreevy out of the starting rotation and throwing him down there so that the game’s we’re supposed to win when we’ve got leads, we can finish them,” Checketts said. “It’s always the walks (that hurt you). Hits happen, that stuff happens, but we were behind in the count a lot and we had to groove fastballs, which hurt us.” Dand, according to Checketts, pitched well despite giving up the winning run in the bottom of the 10th. UCSB’s right-hander struck out the side in the ninth and didn’t walk a batter in 1 innings. “Dand came in, did a good job and righted the ship (in terms of no walks),” Checketts said. “He ran out of gas a little bit. We were trying not to use him after he threw the day before. Other guys have got to be able to come in and do it … and they weren’t super sharp today. “I don’t have the answer right now. I do know we’ve got to make some sort of adjustment on the mound or some sort of adjustment with the personnel that’s down there.” Mortensen finished 3-for-4 with five runs batted in to lead the Gauchos’ offense. UCSB’s first four batters, which included Mortensen, drove in eight of the nine runs. “Besides the (second game of the doubleheader on Saturday, a 4-1 loss),

UCSB 12-9, UC DAVIS 10-11 The Gauchos opened their home schedule with a doubleheader split against the Aggies. The first game, which UCSB won, 12-10, was the only one of the two that counted in the Big West Conference standings. Mollie Simmons put the Gauchos ahead, 5-4, with a power-play goal in the final minute of the first quarter. Junior attacker Amanda Legaspi then made it 6-4 in favor of UCSB with a goal at the 6:41 mark of the second period. Sophomore attacker Claire Kelly scored two goals for the Gauchos, while Savannah Burns scored her first collegiate goal with 5:18 remaining in regulation. UCSB is 3-3 overall and 1-0 in the Big West Conference. MEN’S VOLLEYBALL

UCSB left-fielder Broc Mortensen belted a pair of home runs on Sunday at Cal State Fullerton. His second came in the ninth inning and tied the game, 9-9. Mortensen hit three home runs during the weekend series against the Titans.

offensively, we were great all weekend,” Checketts said. “We put a ton of quality atbats together. We hit for power, hit the ball in the gap, hit the ball over the fence. We homered six times to their one, and we hit a bunch of doubles.” That included four in a row in the

seventh inning by Cole Cummings, Marcos Castanon, Mortensen and Zach Rodriguez, when UCSB scored three times to break a 4-4 tie. Mortensen gave the Gauchos a 3-2 lead with his first home run of the game in the third inning, and tied it 9-9 with a two-run shot in the ninth.

“When they punched us in the mouth, the offense picked us up and we kept charging back,” Checketts said. “The top of our order is pretty tough. It’s hard to get through Cummings, Castanon, Mortensen and Rodriguez right now. “It’s hard to get through them. Not only
