Mike Stoker launches Assembly bid Former supervisor and EPA official seeks 37th District seat By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF-WRITER

Mike Stoker, a former Santa Barbara County supervisor and Environmental Protection Agency official, launched a bid for state Assembly Friday. He announced his candidacy outside on the steps of the Santa Barbara County Courthouse with his wife Debi and Brooks Firestone by his side. During a News-Press interview before the announcement, Mr. Stoker said he had planned to enjoy retirement. But he said he had been approached by Republican leaders in the area who “strongly urged” him to consider the Assembly seat. He added that his wife made a convincing argument: “People that complain about what the government is doing really don’t have a right to complain unless they do whatever it is to make a change.” So Mr. Stoker decided to jump into the 37th district race. The seat is newly opened following the 2020 Census and redistricting. Assemblymember Steve Bennett, DVentura, has been drawn into the 38th District. “California is worth fighting for and worth saving,” Mr. Stoker, 66, told the News-Press. Mr. Stoker was a member of the Santa Barbara County County Board of Supervisors from 1986-1994, served as chairman of the California Agricultural Labor Relations Board from 1995-2000 and worked as the California deputy secretary of state from 2000-2002. Mr. Stoker previously led the EPA’s Region 9, which covers California, Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada and the Pacific islands, during the Trump administration. He was dismissed from his duties after less than two years and was subsequently appointed by the White House to serve as the U.S. representative on the Western Interstate Nuclear Energy Board. Mr. Stoker said he believes his record underscores he is a pro-business candidate who supports the environment. He said he opposes COVID-19 mandates and regulations that could be detrimental to businesses. A self-described “libertarian Republican,” Mr. Stoker also touted support he’s already received from law enforcement and vowed not to back any socalled “defund the police” proposals in the California Legislature should he get elected.

Bill would revoke tax-exempt status of nonprofits that supported Jan. 6 attack By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – Nonprofit organizations that participated or aided in the Jan. 6, 2020 insurrection of the U.S. Capitol or support future attempts to overthrow a democraticallyelected government would lose their California tax-exempt status under the full text of a first-in-thenation bill introduced by a state lawmaker on Thursday. The “No Tax Exemption for Insurrection Act,” introduced by Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, would allow a nonprofit organization’s taxexempt status to be revoked if the state’s Attorney General determines the organization has “actively engaged in, or incited the active engagement in, acts or conspiracies defined as criminal under specified federal law.” According to Sen. Wiener’s office, this includes acts such as treason, insurrection, seditious conspiracy or advocating for an overthrow of the government or the government of any State. The bill states that if the office of the Attorney General determines that a nonprofit has engaged or incited one of these acts, it would be required to notify the Franchise Tax Board, which would then revoke their California tax-exempt status. “The January 6 insurrection is a stain on our democracy, and we must ensure nothing like it ever happens again,” Sen. Wiener said in a statement. “Under no circumstance should we provide tax subsidies to organizations that engage in or incite insurrection. Tax-exempt status is a privilege, not a right. Insurrectionist organizations should never benefit from that privilege.” The bill comes as investigations

regarding the Capitol insurrection – which left five dead and many injured – remain ongoing. According to Politico’s data tracker, more than 725 people have been arrested for crimes tied to the Capitol insurrection, and about 87 of those have been sentenced as of Jan. 21. Sen. Wiener says that nonprofit organizations have claimed the 2020 election was stolen “to fundraise for and funnel money to extremist and anti-democratic initiatives,” including the storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6. He said that organizations – including California nonprofits and nonprofits registered outside the state that raise money in California – have used faulty claims about the 2020 election to fundraise millions in tax-exempt donations. “These organizations, which are fundamentally undermining our democracy and cheering for the destruction of free and fair elections in America, should not be allowed to operate with advantages like tax-exempt status,” Sen. Wiener’s office wrote in a press release. Existing federal and California law dictates that organizations who support or engage in terrorist activity can have their taxexempt status suspended. Sen. Wiener’s office said that this bill would dictate that nonprofits who “support insurrection should receive the same treatment.” The bill is co-authored by Senators Josh Becker, DPeninsula, Dave Min, D-Irvine, and Josh Newman, D-Fullerton, and Assemblymember Buffy Wicks. Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-South San Francisco, is a principal co-author. The bill has been referred to the Senate Rules Committee, according to the state’s legislative database.

Bills aim to avoid Berkeley enrollment drop By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – California lawmakers unveiled new legislation on Friday that could save the University of California Berkeley from being forced to curtail its incoming class size by thousands of students after the state’s Supreme Court upheld a freeze on enrollment last week. The legislation, introduced in two bills by budget committees in both state houses, would provide public colleges and universities with 18 months to address issues related to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) before courts could issue a mandate to reduce enrollment. Under CEQA, state and local governments must evaluate significant environmental impacts of projects and adopt mitigation measures. If passed by lawmakers and signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom, the new proposal would take effect immediately and apply retroactively, meaning Berkeley could proceed with plans to enroll thousands more new students who would have otherwise faced deferred admission or rejection under a court-ordered enrollment freeze. In a joint statement on Friday, Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon and Assembly Budget Chair Phil Ting said the legislation “strikes the right balance” by ensuring that campuses are still required to consider the environmental impacts of increasing campus populations while also giving university officials time before any enrollment freeze would kick in.

“We believe this addresses concerns from both sides and allows us to continue educating deserving students,” the lawmakers said. “When our legislation passes and allows the law to be applied retroactively, UC Berkeley will be able to resume its enrollment plan, which was disrupted by a misguided court order.” The proposal comes after the state’s Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling last week that imposed an enrollment freeze at UC Berkeley. In August, an Alameda County Superior Court judge ordered the freeze, siding with a group called Save Berkeley’s Neighborhoods who say the university has failed to examine the impact of enrollment growth on noise and housing as required under CEQA. Under the court’s ruling, Berkeley is required to cap its enrollment at 20202021 levels, which the university originally estimated would require cutting more than 3,000 seats in the incoming class. The university has since lowered that figure to 2,600, according to the Associated Press. University officials and lawmakers alike said the court’s decision is unfair to students who have worked hard to gain admission at UC Berkeley. In a statement on Friday, Senate Budget and fiscal Review Committee Chair Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, said Senate Bill 118 and Assembly Bill 168 would prevent UC Berkeley from rejecting thousands of students for admission this fall, giving more students “the opportunity to benefit from public higher education.”

(The Center Square) – Since the state Legislature returned to session in January, California lawmakers have weighed raising annual taxes and fees by more than $190 billion, according to a new report released by the California TaxFoundation (CalTax) on Thursday. The report from CalTax includes all pending tax and fee legislation introduced this year and proposals from 2021 that were acted upon or remain active. Within the report, CalTax notes that several proposals to raise taxes have been considered by the Legislature in the first two months of 2022 as the state eyes billions of dollars in reserves and surplus. “The tax and fee proposals were introduced despite the state’s reserves of more than $34.6 billion, a windfall of unexpected tax revenue (nearly $16 billion above projections during the first seven months of the 2021‑22 fiscal year alone), and a projected surplus of $45.7 billion,” the report states. The largest tax measure pending in the legislature is Assembly Constitutional Amendment 11 – a proposal brought forth by Assemblymember Ash Kalra to fund single-payer healthcare in California. Assemblymember Kalra’s single-payer health care bill, Assembly Bill 1400, died in January, but the funding mechanism in ACA 11 is still pending. CalTax estimates that ACA 11 would result in a nearly $163 billion tax increase by levying a gross receipts tax, a payroll tax on employers and employees and a personal tax increase on individuals making more than $149,500. According to CalTax, ACA 11 could be placed on the ballot “in anticipation of the reintroduction of a single-payer implementation bill.” The second-largest tax measure currently pending in the legislature is Assembly Bill 2289, which would impose a “wealth tax” on highearners in California. The bill would levy a 1% annual tax on worldwide net worth over $50 million and an annual tax of 1.5% for a resident whose worldwide net worth exceeds $1 billion. The tax would apply to art, collectables, real property, pension funds, financial assets held offshore, farm assets, funds and stocks, according to CalTax. If passed, AB 2289 is expected to cost taxpayers $22.3 billion. Other proposals pending in the Legislature that would create new taxes include Assembly Bill 2802, which would impose a “carbon tax” on entities that emit greenhouse gasses. It’s estimated that this proposal could cost taxpayers $5 billion annually, the report notes. One bill included in the report, Assembly Bill 1223, would have imposed a 10% excise tax on the sales price of handguns and an 11% tax on sales of long gun rifles and ammunition, but it died in the Assembly. The Assembly Appropriations Committee estimated that it would have cost taxpayers $118 million.

San Francisco, Berkeley to lift vaccination requirement for restaurants, gyms By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE

KENNETH SONG / NEWS-PRESS

The waxing crescent moon makes an appearance over the UCSB campus on Friday.

SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 2022

(The Center Square) – With COVID-19 hospitalizations and infections declining across California, San Francisco officials announced the city will no longer require individuals to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID19 test to enter some indoor public spaces starting Friday. Under updated guidance from the San Francisco Public Health Department, individuals will no longer be required to show proof of vaccination or a negative test to enter restaurants, bars, gyms and fitness centers. Businesses can, however, choose to impose stricter requirements, like keeping the existing requirement of showing proof of vaccination. The new guidance marks a transition for the city, which in August became the first in the nation to require individuals to show proof of vaccination before entering several indoor settings. In a news release, officials said the policy successfully kept cases down during delta and omicron surges, but noted that current virus trends show that the city is ready to ease some restrictions. “With cases and hospitalizations continuing to fall and our high vaccination rate providing a strong defense against the virus, SF is ready to further reduce COVID-19 restrictions and allow individuals to make their own decisions to protect themselves and their loved ones,” Health Officer Dr. Susan Philip said in a statement. “The proof of vaccination and testing requirements served their purpose in keeping these spaces as safe as possible for staff and patrons. “Rolling it back is part of coming out of crisis mode and learning to live with the virus.” Public Health officials in Berkeley also announced on Wednesday that restaurants, gyms and indoor events will no longer be required to verify the vaccination status of patrons starting on Friday. Businesses will have the option to set stricter restrictions. In a news release, the city said the change in guidance comes as the city is seeing decline in severe illness and hospitalizations. “Our COVID tools create a path to navigate the pandemic,” Dr. Lisa Hernandez, the City of Berkeley health officer, said in a

statement. “As this latest surge fades, the safe path widens but the risks haven’t disappeared. Stay up to date on vaccinations by getting a booster when eligible. When needed, use a surgical mask or better to protect yourself and others.” A few other cities across the state, including Oakland and Los Angeles still require individuals to show proof of vaccination when entering indoor public spaces, though the City of Los Angeles could make changes to this requirement soon. On Wednesday, members of the LA City Council voted to draft an ordinance that would amend the city’s rules, which currently require establishments to verify whether their patrons are fully vaccinated, the Los Angeles Times reported. The city’s guidelines, dubbed SafePass LA, were launched in November 2021. They require that restaurants, bars, fitness venues, entertainment centers and personal care establishments verify proof of vaccination. The ordinance, which will return to the council for review at a later date, would rescind this mandate. Just last week, L.A. County eased its own vaccine verification rules, which will no longer require

operators to verify vaccination status of patrons at mega-outdoor events with more than 10,000 people and at the indoor portions of restaurants, bars and lounges, according to a news release from the county. Vaccine verification or proof of a negative test requirements still remain in effect for indoor mega events with over 1,000 people under California Department of Public Health guidelines. Los Angeles County also updated its masking guidance on Friday, announcing that it would no longer require but instead “strongly recommend” masking in indoor public settings for both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. Certain federal masking requirements for transportation remain in place, however, as well as state mask mandates for health care settings and other high-risk settings. In a statement on Friday, L.A. County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer emphasized that while the transmission of COVID19 has slowed, “there continue to be thousands of people whose lives, families, and work are disrupted each day because they or someone close to them is newly infected, and, for some, their infection will lead to severe illness.”

Stoker targets opponent Hart right out of the gate STOKER

Continued from Page A1 During the News-Press interview, Mr. Stoker came out swinging against Supervisor Gregg Hart, a Democrat who has already announced his candidacy for the seat. “There will be a general theme that if you believe California is heading in the right direction under Gov. (Gavin) Newsom, then vote for Gregg Hart. He’s been a very partisan Democrat. He stands for a continuation of the current direction,” Mr. Stoker said.

Mr. Stoker said he is a Republican because he wants fewer taxes and is more in tune with economic policies than social issues. In his campaign announcement earlier this year, Supervisor Hart said the decision to jump into the open race was a difficult one because he truly enjoys the job he has. “I’ve been working through the decisionmaking process because I really enjoy working for the community as a supervisor,” Mr. Hart previously told the News-Press. Mr. Hart also has a mind for the environment. He has said he is especially proud of how Santa Barbara County helped

environmentalists purchase San Marcos Preserve and the creation of Measure B during his time on the city council, a 2% bed tax dedicated to the Creeks Restoration and Water Quality Improvement Program. His other priorities include increasing educational opportunities and reducing homelessness. The primary election is on June 6. The top two candidates, regardless of party affiliation, will go head to head in the Nov. 8 runoff election. email: kschallhorn@newspress.com

California’s mask mandate for schools ends Saturday By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) - California’s mask mandate for schools and child care centers will officially expire after 11:59 p.m. Friday, meaning many students will return to the classroom Monday without being required to wear a mask. With cases and hospitalizations declining, state officials announced last month that the mask mandate for schools would be lifted March 12. Under the updated guidance, masks will still be recommended but no longer required for students and staff. In a joint statement with Gov.

Gavin Newsom, governors from Oregon and Washington also announced last month that their school mask mandate would be lifted as of March 12. “California continues to adjust our policies based on the latest data and science, applying what we’ve learned over the past two years to guide our response to the pandemic,” Gov. Newsom said in a statement when the announcement was made Feb. 28. School districts still have the option to maintain their own mask mandates for students despite the change in state guidance, and a few have opted to do so. As of Friday, Los Angeles

Unified School District and Sacramento City Unified School District have announced they will maintain a mask mandate for students for the time being. San Diego Unified School District is also holding off on dropping its mask mandate until April 4, according to NCB San Diego. The change in guidance for schools comes as state and local officials are easing several pandemic restrictions amid falling case rates. The state lifted its indoor mask mandate for fully vaccinated individuals on Feb. 15 before dropping the mandate for all individuals, regardless of

vaccination status, on March 1. Masking still remains “strongly recommended” in indoor settings, according to state health officials. Face masks are still required in certain settings across the state, including in health care centers and correctional facilities. A federal mask mandate still remains in place for public transit as well. Additionally, the cities of San Francisco and Berkeley dropped a vaccine or test requirement to enter certain indoor settings on Friday. Officials said earlier this week that the decision to ease requirements came after officials saw a decline in case rates and hospitalizations.

romantic dinners, weddings, party venues and charity events in Santa Barbara. The sale was brokered by Dan Moll of Hayes Commercial Group. Mr. Sanchez, a seafood supplier with more than 20 years’ experience, served as the seafood supplier for the restaurant under the previous ownership, which is how he met his business partner, Mr. Ibanez. Mr. Ibanez has more than 28 years of experience owning restaurants, some of them Mexican seafood restaurants. “We thought this was a very good opportunity for both of us to do well and to renovate the restaurant, because the restaurant is a little bit outdated. It was an opportunity and good timing,” Mr. Ibanez told the News-Press. The new owners are working with architects to renovate and add some features. One addition will be a coffee shop with pastries, which will be in a previously unused room. “We are working on things to make it much more appealing

for both tourists and locals,” Mr. Ibanez said. “It is a very iconic restaurant in Santa Barbara — a beautiful restaurant with a lot of potential,” said Mr. Ibanez. “We want to revive, remodel and refresh. We don’t want to change the name. We want to improve the restaurant.” One aspect that will be changing is the menu, both the food and drink items. The owners are working with the chefs to completely renovate the menu. The current chef, Marcelo, will continue in that role and will be joined by a new chef, Abraham Lemus. The co-owners said the new menu will include more seafood plates and more healthy dishes such as salads and low-calorie items. The new owners are hoping to cultivate more of a nightlife crowd. “One of our ideas is to make it more appealing for locals,” Mr. Ibanez said. “We are looking to remodel and include a lounge where you can have a drink and listen to music. We have a lot of hope and enthusiasm and between myself and Gene we have the experience.” email: kzehnder@newspress.com

Designer Kevin Germanier puts a striking spin on the iconic UGG silhouette for his first ever show at Paris Fashion Week.

These are UGGs?

Iconic local footwear brand inspires designer’s debut at Paris Fashion Week By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

riginally worn by surfers to keep their feet warm after early-morning sessions, UGG footwear, founded in 1978, has since become iconic for its soft sheepskin and enduring design. The California lifestyle brand, now a division of Deckers Brands with headquarters in Goleta, has come a long way since then. Designer Kevin Germanier put a striking spin on the iconic UGG silhouette for his first ever show during Paris Fashion Week from Feb. 28 through March 8. “I envisioned a very unique UGG Couture boot for this carte blanche. I like that the final result is unexpected,” said Mr. Germanier in a news release. “In these silhouettes, there is everything that roars in me, everything that pushes me to transform darkness into light, to tell life in all its brilliance. “Not to pick up the pieces, but to organize something like an encounter between know-how and out-of-control; giving the embroidery the illusion that it is imploding, dripping wax over ice cubes and smearing it with hair gel, photo-printing it. Go further while dressing attitudes and not just images.” UGG is an environmentally and socially conscious brand that strives to be socially just, economically inclusive and environmentally restorative. Delivering more than $1.5 billion

in annual sales, UGG partners with the best retailers globally and owns stores worldwide in key markets including Santa Barbara, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Paris, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and Beijing. Taking the UGG Classic boot to new heights, the designer showcased his craftsmanship through the use of extravagant embellishments, bold-colored feathers and upcycled Swarovski crystals. According to the news release, Mr. Germanier is known for “his sustainable approach to fashion, his focus on luxury upcycled fabrics with arresting details, such as discarded beads that the designer found during a work placement in Hong Kong, a prize for winning the Redress Award in 2015. “Mr. Germanier eschews the homespun connotations for which eco-friendly fashion is known and instead draws inspiration from a futuristic vision of utopia. Look for sculptural jackets, glitterstrewn dresses and sharply spliced skirts.” His garments have been worn by many international celebrities including Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Kristen Stewart, Björk or Sunmi. Mr. Germanier’s business was also named a “30 Under 30’’ by Forbes magazine in 2020 in the category “Europe-Arts and Culture,” participated in the LVMH prize as a semi-finalist in 2019 and the ANDAM Prize in 2018.

Waxing poetic about his debut show at Paris Fashion Week, the designer said, “Lava foam, embroidered bugs, burning waves. March 7, 2022. A first show in Paris, the city I dreamed of, in the heart of a place where past and future collide, a ballroom buzzing with hopes and apparitions. Paris, in crazy majesty, piledup of high voltage neon lights, couture acids, sequined skin. Underwater fireworks. Passengers of the night weighted with cabochon masks and jeweled bags. Stretch velvet, constellation leather satin, 3D printed corn plastic, and set with crystals. “Flowers from the abyss, shivers of feathers, electric demons. In these silhouettes, there is everything that roars in me, everything that pushes me to transform darkness into light, to tell life in all its brilliance. Not to pick up the pieces, but to organize something like an encounter between know-how and out-ofcontrol; giving the embroidery the illusion that it is imploding, dripping wax over ice cubes, and smearing it with hair gel, photo-printing it. Go further while dressing attitudes and not just images. “It’s my first show, and that’s what I’ve been trying to tell since my debut. Demonstrate that recycling is not a passionkiller. The idea is not to make something new out of the old, but to transform oblivion into desire, waste into love, debris into promise. It is taking the light that no one wants. The line becomes curved, following body contours, while the timeless pieces, from the tuxedo jacket to the denim one, are adorned with shards of pearls, silicone comets. We are working on anatomy, it’s an emotion, and the whole collection starts from this inner explosion.” email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

Changes planned for library system GOLETA — The Black Gold Cooperative Library System, of which the Goleta and Santa Ynez Valley Library System is a member, is undergoing a realignment to allow Central Coast libraries to provide a more community-focused approach to their services. That means some changes. This month, all renewals (including autorenewals) on borrowed materials will be suspended temporarily to allow time for materials to be returned to their owning libraries, according to a news release.

All Black Gold libraries, including those in Goleta, Buellton and Solvang, will be closed April 22 and 23 for the migration of all computer files to the new library circulation software. No holds can be placed during April 22-24. Beginning April 25, the shared Black Gold Cooperative Library System will offer titles from the Goleta and Santa Ynez Valley Library System, Paso Robles City Library, Santa Maria Public Library, Lompoc Public Library System, Blanchard Community Library and the Carpinteria

Community Library. The Santa Barbara Library System recently announced it’s leaving the cooperative system. Santa Barbara cardholders can apply for a Goleta, Buellton or Solvang Library card to continue accessing materials from Black Gold member libraries. The Goleta Valley, Buellton and Solvang Libraries are open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays. For more information, go to www.goletavalleylibrary.org. — Dave Mason

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.

& 6

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.

for will come true. Don’t waste words or actions. Concentrate your energy and focus it on one or two important things instead of dispersing it and thereby diluting your overall power. There isn’t anything to fear on a day like this. SCORPIO — Be careful of getting into fights today, Scorpio. However, if a squabble or altercation of some sort seems inevitable, don’t shrink away and hide. It’s important that you face the source of the attack and stand up to whomever or whatever is getting in your path. Conjure up the warrior inside you and you might surprise yourself with the incredible power you have within. SAGITTARIUS — Issues regarding freedom are apt to come up today in more ways than one, Sagittarius. These issues could be connected with opportunities for adventure and travel. Although you initially want to dive into this promised freedom, take time to reflect on what you need in your current situation before making any final decision. CAPRICORN — There is a great deal of startup energy working for you today, Capricorn. You may feel as if you’re walking on hot coals. This isn’t a good day to sit on the couch watching TV. The coals will burn you for sure. It’s important that you keep moving. Engage in activities that exercise your mind as well as body. You’ll feel much better if you can point to something and say that you created it. AQUARIUS — Your energy will light up any room you enter today, Aquarius. Feel free to take advantage of this incredible magnetism by initiating and encouraging others to join you in creative activities and bold adventures. However, be careful that your head doesn’t get too big. You can be proud without becoming egotistical; otherwise you’ll end up losing your followers before you even get started. PISCES — Put an extra spring in your step, Pisces. The slow, steady pace may be something that you’re comfortable with, but note that the situations of the day call for something much more dynamic and brave. Pull out your leadership hat and put it on proudly. Today is the day for you to call the shots, instead of compromising in order to get along with others.

&RQFHSWLV 3X]]OHV 'LVW E\ .LQJ )HDWXUHV 6\QGLFDWH ,QF

HOROSCOPE ARIES — Be prepared for allout combat with people today, Aries, even though this is pretty much the opposite of your normal style. In fact, “opposite” is the name of the game for you today. Don’t be surprised if you walk into an ice cream shop wanting vanilla and all they have is chocolate. TAURUS — Control is apt to be a big theme for you and the people around you today, Taurus. You’ll find such a brutal dispute over who is holding the reins that once someone finally gets a firm hold of them, he or she is apt to take the situation to the extreme. GEMINI — In general, things should be going extremely well for you today, Gemini, so don’t miss this opportunity to pursue your dreams in every sense of the word. Do things with passion and don’t hold back. Remember that your mind and will are the only things stopping you from getting where you want to be. CANCER — You may feel anxious today, even more so than usual, Cancer. Your nerves may be quite jittery, and there’s a feeling that you may not be on exactly the right track. More than likely, what you need to do is simply calm down and relax. Let your brain slow down and think clearly without the distraction of many people telling you what to do. LEO — Other people are the most important aspect of your day today, Leo. You’ll find that things might get a bit difficult and unruly alone, but if you connect with others, even the most challenging task becomes almost effortless. One toothpick is easily broken, but 50 toothpicks together are as strong as steel. VIRGO — Don’t be a pushover today, Virgo. This is your time to lead. At least get your opinion out in the open and let it be known to the people around you. Put some passion in your day in order to liven things up and get the energy moving. A powerful transformation may take place within you as you start to wield your power instead of give it blindly away to others. LIBRA — You have a great deal of power at your disposal today, Libra. You should keep in mind that just about anything you wish

The Carpinteria boys volleyball squad pulled off a four-set win over Malibu on Thursday, winning the first set 25-19, losing the second 24-26, and winning the final two 27-25 and 2521. Thursday’s win came despite Carpinteria missing 15 serves and getting aced five times on the night. “Once again we were saved by our defense, with 124 team digs,” said Head Coach Mickey Caughey. “We were able to convert a lot of those digs into kills with a team total of 37 kills on the night.” Many of the night’s digs came from the trio of Sebastian McCurry, Diesel Slade and Zach Isaac, who recorded 37, 31 and 24, respectively. Slade also led the way in kills with 12, while Joaquin Gonzalez added 10 and River Taff contributed six to go along with three blocks. The win was Carpinteria’s first in Citrus Coast League play, leaving the team with a 1-0 record in league play and a 6-2 overall record and earning CIF Southern Section Poll of the Week honors. The team will play next at the Dos Pueblos Invitational today at UCSB. “We will have our work cut out for us,” said Caughey. “We are looking forward to testing ourselves against all the big teams. It should be fun!”

Tuesday’s meet will be at Ventura, with diving events beginning at 2 p.m. and swimming events at 2:45 p.m.

Dos Pueblos girls lacrosse takeS down Royal High School

Carp produces mixed results in boys tennis

The Dos Pueblos girls lacrosse team came away with the victory over Royal High School on Thursday, taking the win in a high-scoring game by a score of 26-25. “The Chargers went out knowing this would be one of our toughest matches of our season and that expectation was certainly met,” said coach Sam Limkeman. “It was back and forth the entire game. We scored the first goal, but from there it was truly back and forth and tied between both teams off and on for two hours.” The long match saw an incredibly high number of goals scored, despite two highachieving goalkeepers. “ It was mentally, emotionally and physically draining on both teams,” Limkeman said. “The Chargers and the Highlanders played incredibly. In my eight years of coaching and my many years of playing I have never played, coached, or read about a game this highscoring.” The Chargers won the game in the final minute-and-a-half with goals from Lauren Elliott and Avery Ball. Elliott led Dos Pueblos in scoring with nine goals, while Ball had six and Cait Duncan added five. Ball also recorded five assists, while Duncan had three. Goalkeeper Maddie Nees recorded 12 saves. The Chargers won the game despite winning 11 fewer draws than their opponents. “This was clearly an attack-heavy game and neither team forced many turnovers,” said Limkeman. “It was truly a game that will go down in history. Our girls pushed hard the entire time. I am the most proud of them I have ever been.” The team will return to action Saturday at the Gold Coast Invitational with a 12:45 p.m. game against El Segundo. The Chargers remain undefeated with a 6-0 record.

The Carpinteria boys tennis team faced off against Norhoff in Ojai on Thursday, turning in a dominant performance in singles matches, but struggling in doubles play. Carpinteria won eight of nine singles matches, with Austin Stone and Max Stone sweeping their opponents and Ryan Souza winning two of three sets. Doubles competitors did not fare so well, suffering an injury during warmups and getting swept when play began. “We will have to make adjustments the next time we play them,” said Coach Charles Bryant, “and will probably move our top singles players into the doubles lineup just to counter that strategy.” Carpinteria now owns a 4-4 overall record.

Carp boys take hard-fought volleyball match against Malibu

The SBCC baseball team picked up its first win of March on Thursday at Pershing Park, putting up runs in five different innings while shutting Ventura down in a 7-2 victory. With the win, the Vaqueros (11-7, 41) ended a four-game skid, dropping the Pirates to 9-12 overall, 4-4 in WSC play. This is tied for SBCC’s best start to conference play since 2014. While Santa Barbara more than tripled Ventura in the run department, it was the Pirates who ended the game with a 7-5 advantage in hits. The Pirates weren’t able to capitalize when they had runners on base however, while the Vaqueros were. Ventura opened the game with back-toback singles, but the SBCC defense was stellar from there, picking off a runner, striking out the next batter and getting a fly out to end a scoreless top half of the first. In the bottom of the second, the Vaqueros loaded the bases before there was a single out. Pearce Blaney and Owen Crevelt both walked, followed by a clean bunt from Justin Deal. Catcher Tyler Imbach then

cleared the bases with a three-RBI shot out to center field, putting SBCC up 3-0. Both teams matched each other with one run in the third inning. The Vaqueros made it 4-1 with a sacrifice fly from Gavin Haimovitz to score a run from Matty Fung. SBCC’s defense held the Pirates scoreless until the eighth, but its offense scored one run in three straight innings. Fung opened the fifth with a solo home run, his first of the season. In the sixth, Crevelt was hit by a pitch and advanced to second and third on wild pitches. As Hunter Call was being picked off betwen first and second, he drew the defense’s attention and Crevelt made it home from third. The Vaqueros added another from Gabe Baldavino on a wild pitch in the bottom of the seventh. Pitcher Decker Mac Neil (3-4) got the win, striking out five and giving up just one earned run. SBCC closes its series with the Pirates in Ventura on Saturday at 12:00 p.m. Michael Jorgenson works in communications/media relations at Santa Barbara City College. email: sports@newspress.com

Indermuehle leads SBCC to softball win By MICHAEL JORGENSON SBCC SPORTS WRITER

The SBCC softball team extended to its largest win streak of the season with a 6-2 win at Oxnard on Thursday in its 2022 WSC opener. The Vaqueros (5-16, 1-0) earned their third straight victory, equaling their largest win streak of the shortened 2020 season. It was their first conference opening win since 2017. Pitcher Lauren Indermuehle (3-10) had a huge day on both sides of the ball, setting a Vaquero season-high with 10 strikeouts while setting a personal-best on offense with three RBI. Santa Barbara ended the day with five hits, including two by shortstop Linnéa Sandahi. Catcher Naveah Freitas gave the Vaqueros the initial lead in the top of the first, capitalizing on a pair of errors by Oxnard (0-10, 0-1). After the Condors tied it heading into the second, SBCC would enjoy its biggest inning of the day. Jade Leoffler walked and made it to second when Mellanie Barth was hit by a pitch. Facing two outs,

Indermuehle hit a two RBI double to bring both runners home. Paige Powell then stepped up to hit a single into right field and Indermuehle scored to make it 4-1. Sandahi scored her lone run of the day in the following inning. She led off with a double before scoring on a sacrifice fly out to right by Mckinnzie Grossini. The Vaqueros put the cherry on top in the seventh. Freitas was hit by a pitch to open the inning and stole a base as she eventually made her way to third. Isabella Huckaby grounded out to second, but picked up an RBI of her own as Freitas capped SBCC’s day with its sixth run. The Condors were held to just one hit and no runs in the bottom of the seventh, as Indermuehle picked up her final two strikeouts of the day. Santa Barbara hits the road again on Tuesday, Mar. 15 to face Moorpark at 2:30 p.m. Michael Jorgenson works in communications/ media relations at Santa Barbara City College. email: sports@newspress.com

UCSB sweeps CSUN for eighth straight win By DANIEL MOEBUS-BOWLES UCSB SPORTS WRITER

A quick sweeping of CSUN gave No. 5 UCSB men’s volleyball its eighth straight victory and third straight sweep Thursday night as the Gauchos defeated the Matadors in three sets 25-18, 25-17, 25-17. Junior hitter Ryan Wilcox once again led the way as the sole player in double figures notching 15 kills and added a team-high six digs, three aces, and converted all 10 serve receptions. Sophomore setter Patrick Paragas dished out 31 assists, had a team-high six digs and led all players with four aces. UCSB outhit CSUN .429 to .282 and converted on 77% of its sideout opportunities. Both teams traded punches in the early points, but a 4-0 run by the Gauchos gave the home team a lead it would not lose as UCSB kept at least a twopoint lead over CSUN for the rest of the set. A 5-1 run saw the Gauchos grow their lead to 2115 thanks to back-to-back kills by Wilcox and the largest lead of the set came on the final point as Brandon Hicks sent down a kill to seal it at 25-18. Wilcox went 5-for-5 on the attack in the set and UCSB hit a match-high .550 as a team converting on 16-of-19 (84%) of its sideout opportunities. It was another tight start for the Gauchos in the second frame, as the Matadors came out swinging and clawed their way to an early 6-4 lead. The Gauchos then answered with a run of their own, forcing CSUN into a time out at the 12-8 mark. CSUN was hungry to get back in it but The Gauchos posted a 6-0 run to go up 15-8 and draw the final timeout of the set for the Matadors. The rally continued as the Gauchos went up 1913, solidifying their momentum going into the end of the set that was punctuated by back-to-back aces from Paragas. The Gauchos came hungry to put away the third set, but CSUN wasn’t giving up easily, keeping both teams within a 1 point differential up to 8-7. The game remained tight until UCSB went up 16-14 with a kill by Hicks that sparked a 3-0 for the Gauchos that triggered a CSUN timeout at 18-14. UCSB would close on a 5-0 run with Wilcox at the service line, utilizing one of his three aces to end the match. The Gauchos out-hit the Matadors .481 to .200 in the final frame. It’s now the Gauchos’ turn to take a trip down to the Matadome in Northridge, Calif. to face CSUN again tomorrow. First serve is set for 7 PM.
