Year: “It is overwhelming. We get to work alongside a lot of districts. For me, I know that there are great teachers in the county education office, but I know there are great educators everywhere. It feels humbling.” Coming from a family of educators and social workers, it is not surprising that Ms. Hendrix would be such a noted teacher. “I came from a family of educators and people in the social services field. There is a long history of educators in my family. Social services and serving professions were part of the example set for me. I don’t know that I ever considered anything else really. I struggled in my first year of college and landed in an American Sign Language (ASL) class where my professor encouraged me to become a teacher of the deaf,” said Ms. Hendrix. Ms. Hendrix received her higher education training from California State University in Fresno. She received her B.A. in Communication Sciences and Disorders with an emphasis in Deaf Education in 1999. She received her MultiSubject Professional Clear Credential with an emphasis in Cross-Cultural Language and Academic Development (CLAD) in 2000, and in 2001 she received her M.A. in Deaf Education and her Education Specialist Credential in Communicative Handicapped and Deaf/Hard of Hearing.

English or ASL. Listening technologies benefit all kids but don’t ensure full language access,” said Ms. Hendrix. Ms. Hendrix said her favorite thing about teaching is “the relationships I get to develop over time. I get to spend several years with the same students and families. We get to be in people’s homes and develop relationships with families. It is more than a student-teacher relationship and it cultivates a strong tie. When students have a good relationship with their teachers they are able to perform to their highest ability.” Samantha Mullins, Coordinator of Special Education for SBCEO, said of Ms. Hendrix: “She invests the necessary time in each of her families, educating and empowering them to make informed decisions on what is best for their children. Joanna fosters a language-rich environment with printed and spoken English, Spanish and American Sign Language. She goes above and beyond to ensure her families have a thorough understanding of their child’s hearing loss and language acquisition.” Ms. Hendrix gives this advice to fellow educators: “Teaching is about meeting students where they are at and making the accommodations they need so that they can perform at their best. It’s been truly difficult the last few years. I’m excited to see things turning around and that we are moving forward and what the next year brings.”

“The students enrolled in my class are eligible for special education and related services under the eligibility of hard of hearing, deaf, or deaf/blind … Our goal is to ensure students obtain the necessary language and academic readiness skills to transition into kindergarten ready to learn, to partner with and empower parents in making informed educational choices, all while learning alongside a critical mass of same-language peers,” said Ms. Hendrix in her application for Teacher of the Year. “Ms. Hendrix has consistently created an environment that integrates grade level standards with individual IEP goals, while developing strong relationships among staff members and students. After spending only a few moments in the class, the visitor realizes that the level of student engagement is due to the high quality instruction that Ms. Hendrix delivers in a student-focused, structured environment,” said Kristen Escobedo, Assistant Superintendent of Special Education for SBCEO said in her letter of recommendation. “One of the biggest misconceptions is that the sole focus is remediating the hearing with hearing aids, cochlear implants and other devices. It’s really about access to language and communication in whatever form that is. So we are really working with multiple language students transitioning from Spanish to English and students developing their first language as ASL. It’s really about building strong language foundations whether that be in

Carp boys volleyball wins Semifinal By MATT SMOLENSKY NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The Carpinteria High boys volleyball team won its Division 5 CIF SS Semifinal match against Fairmont Prep in five sets, bringing home the win with scores of 25-22, 26-28, 25-27, 25-22 and 15-13. “You can’t get much closer than that,” said Coach Mickey Caughey, “and it was the first time we went five sets all season. It was definitely exciting.” Leading the way for the Warriors was Diesel Slade with 20 kills and 16 digs, along with an ace and a block. Joaquin Gonzalez also picked up 20 kills to go along with nine digs, while Zack Isaac managed six kills, one block and 28 digs. Other notable performances included: River Taff, who added eight kills and five key blocks; Sebastian McCurry, who managed 31 digs; and Rigoberto Perez and Gavin Lohuis, who each went on impressive serving runs when they were needed. “Many of our players seemed to take turns putting up the numbers on the scoreboard,” said Caughey. “Everybody was feeding off of everybody else all night.” Carpinteria will now advance to the Division 4 CIF SS Finals, where they will play the winner of Gabriel ACA vs. Sunny Hills. “We had a large group of parents, family and friends who also made the long threeplus hour trip and definitely helped us with their enthusiasm and loud cheering,” said Caughey. “It almost felt like a home game.” Upon winning the fifth set, Caughey added, “the crowd went crazy, the players went crazy and the coaches went crazy. It was definitely fun times!”

SM falls short in semifinals The San Marcos Royals boys volleyball team were defeated by Tesoro High in the Division 2 CIF Semifinals, losing close sets 22-25, 20-25 and 19-25 in the sweep. “We are very proud of our season and our Co-Championship in the Channel League” said Head Coach Roger Kuntz. “Tesoro played better than us in every part of the game and we were unable to ever get on top. We are very proud of these young men and they have represented our program, school and community to the highest degree.”

‘Historic day’ for San Marcos at CIF prelims The San Marcos High track and field team enjoyed much success at the CIF prelims, setting two school records and advancing a number of athletes to the CIF Finals, which will be held in Moorpark on May 14. Jacob Snodgress turned in a remarkable performance for San Marcos in the 800m, breaking a school record that had stood since 1992 and finishing behind the third-ranked runner in California, Jai Dawson of Dana Hills. “It was beautiful to watch Jacob run today,” said Coach Marilyn Hantgin. “Jacob continues to amaze me. He runs with confidence and determination.”

Finishing behind Snodgress in the event was San Marcos’ Ethan Dwelley, who Hantgin said “proved to himself today that he can run with the best 800 runners around.” Snodgress also contributed to the second school record broken at the event, combining with Julain Hicks, Justin Hess and Jonas Strand to set a new mark in the 4x400m relay. Also advancing to the Finals was Makenzie Fauver, who qualified with a second place finish in the 100m hurdles and the 300m hurdles, as well as contributing to a qualifying finish in the 4x400m relay along with Ava Carter, Kiala Haas and Celina Zambrano. Carter also qualified in the 200m.

SY sends multiple athletes to CIF finals A number of Santa Ynez High athletes finished strong at the CIF prelims, with six individuals and a relay team advancing to the Finals, which will take place at Moorpark High School on May 14.

No. 10 UCSB Baseball (32-11, 20-3) saw its 13game Big West win streak ended Saturday night at the hands of host UC Irvine (26-18, 11-9), which took a back-and-forth game 11-10. The series is now even as the Gauchos drop their first middle game of conference play. Christian Kirtley extended his on-base streak to 31 straight games, going 2-for-4 with a home run, and Bryce Willits extended his streak to 29 games, collecting a single, an RBI double, and a pair of walks. Nick Vogt extended his team-best hit streak to 17straight games, going 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI triple. Gianni Bloom continues to perform in the absence of John Newman Jr., going 2-for-3 tonight with a tworun home run and a walk. Kyle Johnson was the fifth Gaucho to notch a multihit effort, going 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, and a run. For the first time this season the Gauchos lost a game in which they out-hit the other team, picking up 13 hits to UCIs nine. They were previously 28-0 in that category. UCSB got on the board in the top of the first as Willits drew a lead-off walk and quickly found himself at third after a double by Vogt. A wild pitch scored Willits and Johnson made it a 2-0 ball game with a sac-fly to bring in Vogt. The host Anteaters tied the game in the bottom half with their first two runs of the series and promptly took their first lead of the weekend with another two-spot in the second inning to go up 4-2. The Gauchos re-tied the game in the top of the

third as Kirtley went deep over the left field wall with two-outs and Johnson standing on second. It was the left fielder’s eighth homer of the year. The game continued to seesaw from there, as the ‘Eaters went up 5-4 scoring for the third straight inning and the Gauchos hanging another two in the top of the fourth on the back of Bloom’s two-run bomb to go up 6-5. The catcher now has three homers and four extra-base hits in his last four games. In the bottom of the fourth, UCI plated another pair to regain the lead 7-6 and UCSB answered again, tying the game on an RBI single from Willits that plated Jason Willow. The bottom of the sixth saw five different Gaucho pitchers come to the mound and the Anteaters do their most damage of the night with a four-spot that gave them a 11-7 advantage. In a tight spot in the top of the eighth, the Gauchos did something they’ve done well all season and posted a huge two-out rally. Bloom singled, followed by an RBI double from Willits to make it a threerun game. Then it was Vogt tripling into the outfield to cut the lead once more and finally Johnson, who poked a single into the outfield to score Vogt to make it an 11-10 ballgame. Nick Welch, who took the mound for the Gauchos in seventh, was highly effective, posting the only back-to-back zeros of the game, and gave his team a chance stranding runners in the eighth to keep it a one-run game heading into the final inning. Nick Oakley got aboard with a lead-off single in the top of the ninth but would be stranded as the next three Gauchos went down in order to end the game.

Historic season ends as UCSB women’s tennis falls to Stanford By DANIEL MESSINGER UCSB SPORTS WRITER

Grad-transfer forward Andre Kelly is the newest member of UCSB’s 2022-23 recruitment class.

By DANIEL MOEBUS-BOWLES UCSB SPORTS WRITER

The UCSB men’s basketball team has announced the newest member of its 202223 recruitment class. Grad-transfer forward Andre Kelly will join the Gauchos after playing four seasons at California. The 6foot-9, 255-pound big man was a mainstay in the Golden Bear’s lineup since his freshman season. “We are very excited about Andre joining our program as he is an incredible studentathlete who has excelled in the classroom and

on the court the last four years,” head coach Joe Pasternack said. “Andre will bring scoring and rebounding to our team.” Kelly is coming off an incredible season with the Golden Bears where he played and started in 21 games and averaged 13.4 points per game and 8.4 rebounds, while shooting a potent .607 from the field. For his career with Cal, the Stockton, Calif. native totaled 655 rebounds and was a member of the program’s 1K points club with 1,014 total points. This past season Kelly tallied seven doubledoubles including a career-high game in the team’s overtime win over Southern Utah where

The No. 24 UCSB women’s tennis team fell 4-0 to No. 15 Stanford Saturday afternoon in the second round of the NCAA Tournament at the Taube Family Tennis Center. The loss ends the Gauchos’ (21-7, 9-0) stellar season which saw the team achieve a lengthy list of accolades. The Big West Champions reached the highest ITA ranking in program history at No. 24 and won twelve straight matches, tying the longest streak in program history of 12 matches set last season. Santa Barbara also swept the Big West’s major awards for the second consecutive season and made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the second time in program history. The bright spot of the day for the Gauchos was Shakhnoza Khatamova and Elizaveta Volodko opening doubles by taking down the No. 19 ranked duo of Connie Ma and Angelica Blake 6-2 on court one.

scoring in the bottom of the first after back-toback walks set up movement on the base path just before a fielder’s choice advanced runners to second and third. A double from Gigi Araki brought both Highlanders across the plate to give them an early 2-0 lead. Santa Barbara scored three unanswered runs in both the third and fourth. The third inning was led off by a Nodohara single followed by a hit from Fines. With two Gauchos on base, senior Rayna Cohen hit an RBI double to plate Nodohara, but a throwing error from Riverside’s center fielder made it so Fines could make it home, while Cohen advanced to third and was eventually driven home by Lexy Mill’s single on the next at-bat. Tyler Goldstein had a lead off triple in the fourth and came home after Korie Thomas put up a sacrifice fly. Nodohara hit a 2-2 ball into right field, tallying her ninth double of the year and causing a pitching change for the Highlanders. A wild pitch came next, giving Nodohara

time to advance to third. With one out, Fines reached on UCR’s second error of the day which also brought home Nodohara. Fines came to score next, after Ashley Donaldson hit an RBI single to the opposing pitcher, bringing the score to 6-2. UCSB controlled the rest of the game, notching two more runs in the top of the fifth to improve their lead to 8-2 and take game one.

Game 2 Fines went 1-for-3 at the plate, registering her 50th hit of the season and setting a new career high. The Gauchos were limited to four hits by the Highlanders, Lexy Mills, Rayna Cohen, and Sam Denehy were responsible for the remaining three in game two of the day. Ashley Donaldson tallied another RBI, giving her sixteen on the season. Freshman pitcher Ava Bradford (0-1) earned the start, making it her first of the year. Bradford faced 30 batters - walking two and giving up five earned runs. Both teams had a quiet first inning. It wasn’t until the second when UC Riverside got on the

board after a pair of hit-by pitches would place runners on first and second. A runner was then plated after a Santa Barbara error was committed by the catcher. UCSB answered in the third with two runs of its own, taking the 2-1 lead. However, The Highlanders quickly tied the game at 2-2 when it was their turn at-bat. In the top of the third a Chloe Stewart walk and a double from Fines would put two Gauchos in scoring position just before Ashley Donaldson came up to the plate and reached on a fielder’s choice and Stewart beat the throw home. Fines and Donaldson would steal home and second base, respectively, as Cohen was up to bat. The Gauchos found one more run in the fourth, but unfortunately the lead did not last long as UC Riverside kept punching back. The Highlanders had a two-run shot by Halyee Kela and tacked on two more insurance runs for a four-run fifth that sealed the doubleheader split, ending the game at 6-3.

Measuring tool proved to be a game changer for manifest destiny

.O. has a midcentury “Inside” micrometer set (680A) by the Lufkin Co. of Saginaw, Mich. Although I know nothing of tools, I found the story of the micrometer fascinating and admired the precision of these unique instruments. The value is not great, because these tool sets were plentiful for machinists of all kinds. But what is fascinating is the story of the Lufkin Co., which goes back to the mid-19th century and one inventor who had a great idea: to make measures for the growing expansion of the country into the West. And for that, the country needed lumber — and plenty of it. And lumber had to be measured accurately. Who knew that the manifest destiny philosophy of the U.S. in the 19th century was fueled by a thing as simple as a measuring device as lowly as a stick or tape, measuring inches and feet? But that measuring tool was a game changer. Thus, I want to tell you about the history of Lufkin and why measuring devices such as this micrometer changed the world. You will note the original fruitwood box for the micrometer. These sets came in three types of boxes: a sliding cover, a hinged box and plain old cardboard. Other competitors of this type of tool tend to sell for more, such as Logan, Sheldon, Slocomb, Starrett and Southbound, not to mention the Swiss-made line Brown Sharpe. The Lufkin Co. was founded in Cleveland Ohio in 1869 by Edward

Taylor Lufkin, a veteran of the 16th Regiment Ohio Infantry of the Civil War. He was an inventor of measuring devices, and shortly after he began his company he moved the factory to Saginaw, which at that time was the center of the logging industry. Lumber would roll along the 26-mile stretch of the Saginaw River, and the Lufkin Rule measured most of it. In fact, Lufkin began as a tool maker for the logging industry as ET Lufkin Board and Log Rule Manufacturing Co. Some of Lufkin’s inventions include the first steel measuring tape in the U.S, now seen at the National Museum of American History. Lufkin’s manager, Fred Buck, in 1919 invented the wooden folding rule. And the company produced the retractable tape measure in the 1940s. In 1976, the company supplied the Olympics in Canada with measuring devices. The company still exists today as Crescent Lufkin, owned by Apex Tool Group, the largest manufacturer of hand tools. Now let me see if I can tell those who do not know about tools (as I don’t) what an inside micrometer

This micrometer set was among the precise measuring tools made by the Lufkin Co.

does. Those who do know, please email me with corrections! This little kit was used to measure inside diameters. The primary unit in the box is the stick, which is in the tubular style, in which the rod is double ended. The rod can use an extension and can use the various caps you see there. The rod houses a micrometer rod and cap to allow the length between precisely positioned measuring faces, which are spherical. If the micrometer

is clean and undamaged and not worn, a measurement can be read. I learned that within a margin of error, a measurement can be accurate, but if outside that margin, the tool is readjusted, calibrated with a gauge ring. Therefore, these old micrometers are usually collector’s objects and not used for measurements. What is important to machinists who use these tools is the fit, the finish, the feel of such a tool and

the ease of reading the tool. If a cap has a wonky thread for the screw, this can cause problems as a nick can affect how the rod and caps FIT, and therefore the measurement is wrong. Once the rod is set relative to the cap, the rod and cap can be used to set the other rods. And that is as much as I could understand about this little boxed Lufkin set of inside micrometers, number 680 A. I find them online for $10-25, which seems cheap to me for such history and such precision, but I also see that hobbyists say that Lufkin was a mid-market tool, not the top of the line. There was a special Lufkin store in Van Nuys in the 1960s. This little set could well have

been purchased there, as the owner was in the film and TV industry. I am serious when I say, “Please offer corrections to my tool knowledge.” Email me at elizabethappraisals@gmail.com.

3 to 5, during the two-hour event. According to a news release, “Lumpy Socks” is a fun story that teaches about the seasons in a way that young children can understand. Another fun story, “Allergic to Mornings,” teaches children to be brave and embrace changes as adventures. The lesson in the story can be used as a tool to engage young children in conversation about things that stresses them and help

teach them how to develop coping skills, according to the news release. In addition to being an author, Ms. Martial is a nurse practitioner with two adult daughters. Before becoming a nurse, she worked as a nanny and a substitute teacher and volunteered to teach children of all ages. As a nurse practitioner she continues to work with children as well as their families.

Diversions HOROSCOPE s PUZZLES

SUDOKU

Thought for Today

Aries: Some people tend to make mountains out of molehills. Currently, you’re likely to feel as though you’re surrounded by people who exaggerate problems. You, on the other hand, have a loftier perspective. You’re a visionary who can foresee future social trends. This gift would serve you well as a political speechwriter, should you want to take on that sort of job. Taurus: You’re visionary and progressive today, Taurus, despite what people may say about your tendency to be conservative. You could easily come up with an effective way to help people. For some reason, practical problems are easy for you to solve. Don’t pay any attention to the idle and ineffective chatter of intellectuals. Gemini: Today you should abandon any intellectual pursuits and concentrate on practical problems related to organization and goal setting. You’re likely to find perfect solutions within an hour of starting. The heavens are helping you, Gemini. Give them some credit for your ingenuity, and waste no time in implementing your plans! Cancer: You’re a great creator of systems, Cancer. You can tinker with every sort of construction, from theories and computer programs to scientific experiments and strategic evaluations. Today the planets are guiding you. You’re a perfect computer, capable of synthesizing random events into pure reason. Leo: Who would have guessed that you have an ability to understand subjects as irrational as human passions? You’re getting down and dirty with the sticky, trivial realities of day-to-day life that never interested you before. Your new nonstick coating would make you an excellent personnel director, hiring and firing at the drop of a hat. Virgo: Until now, you didn’t know you were capable of managing people with problems. But the so-called poetic universe you inhabit is actually much more realistic than it seems at first glance. People who believe that human reality is 100 percent logical will feel ridiculous when they see the elegant, humane solutions you invent. Libra: At last, a day of relief from the tension! The flow

of communication facilitates personal and professional projects. Now is the time to listen to your partner or other family members about the material aspects of the future. For example, are you setting aside enough money for your children’s education? Are you taking proper care of your home? Are your investments allocated correctly? Scorpio: You’re well aware that your happiness in love doesn’t depend on emotional promises alone. In order to attract your attention, anyone new in your life has to make some material offering as well. That’s exactly what could happen today. You might receive a gift from someone who has been buzzing around you for some time. Sagittarius: The mood is one of bustle and change, Sagittarius. It’s a good day to clear out your wardrobe or other belongings. Out with the old, in with the new! You may consign the old stuff to the basement or give it to charity. The main thing is to make room for your new tastes and new relationships. A new person is being born in you. Capricorn: Today is a good day to organize professional or personal meetings. They will be productive. It’s an auspicious time for efficient, serious communication, realistic plans, and group harmony. All the ingredients for success and true advancement are available. Don’t be surprised if you’re the one in charge. Aquarius: It isn’t always easy to win the admiration you expect from your partner, Aquarius. But in this area today seems to be better than most. You’re likely to be brimming with ideas for ways to enhance your most appealing qualities. But don’t overdo it. Your efforts at physical or intellectual seduction are most effective when they’re subtle. Pisces: No one dislikes red tape and bureaucracy more than you. But take advantage of the atmosphere today. If you have any applications to submit or formalities to complete, you’ll find the process much easier than usual. Communication channels that are normally closed will open, and the administrative mechanisms will be well oiled instead of grinding.

Now that spring is here, I’m reminded that some contracts must be handled with the hopeful optimism of a Master Gardener looking through a new seed catalog. If West had led a red suit against four spades, South would have succeeded easily. He could take the red aces and score all eight of his trumps with a crossruff. But when West led a trump, South was a trick short. South took the ace of hearts, ruffed a heart, cashed the ace of diamonds, ruffed a diamond and ruffed a heart. He ruffed a diamond and drew trumps — leaving him with none. When he lost a fourth heart to West, the defense took the rest. Down one SIX TRICKS South’s play could never make game. He must be optimistic and lead a diamond to the queen at Trick Three. He can cash the ace and crossruff for six more tricks. That play risks a second undertrick, but South has more to gain than to lose. Even at matchpoint duplicate, he should try the finesse: Any minus score will be a poor result for NorthSouth.

heart and he bids one spade. What do you say? ANSWER: If a jump-preference to three diamonds would invite game, that bid is ideal. But if three diamonds would be forcing (and many pairs so treat it), your hand isn’t strong enough to force. An invitational jump to 2NT is possible; so is a “fourthsuit” bid of two clubs, if that bid would not force to game.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

;YPI\UL *VU[LU[ (NLUJ` 33*

INSTRUCTIONS Fill in the grid so every row, every column and every 3-by-3 grid contains the digits 1 through 9. that means that no number is repeated in any row, column or box. Sudoku puzzles appear on the Diversions page Monday-Saturday and on the crossword solutions page in Sunday’s Life section.

2 3 ( % ' $ 4 ) 9 8 = 1 :

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.
