Biden ahead in key states

News-Press exclusive: Local member of monitoring team discusses votes By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A winner in the presidential election hasn’t been called despite Joe Biden’s progress with two states President Trump needs to win, Georgia and Pennsylvania. As of Friday, Mr. Biden was leading by narrow margins in both states. And according to Reuters’ electoral map as of Friday, Mr. Biden leads President Trump in the race to 270 with 253 votes compared to the president’s 214. President Trump has filed lawsuits in several key states, with allegations

ranging from individuals who are no longer residents of Nevada still voting there and GOP poll watchers not being allowed to observe ballots being counted in Michigan. Local attorney Mike Stoker, who for the past week worked on vote monitoring as part of the legal team in President Trump’s re-election campaign, spoke to the NewsPress in an exclusive interview about the current state of the election, though not in an official capacity connected to the president’s campaign. During his week working with the campaign Mr. Stoker was stationed in Pennsylvania, perhaps the most hard-fought

state this election, but said he is familiar with the legal contests the president has initiated in each hotly contested state. Among the irregularities that Mr. Stoker said the president’s campaign has proof of include votes being cast by deceased individuals, as well as votes being cast in Nevada by people who no longer meet its residency requirements. According to the Nevada secretary of state’s website, voters in the state must have continuously resided in Nevada for at least 30 days prior to an election. Mr. Stoker also said he sees irregularities Please see ELECTION on A6

Curbside food pantry

Sharp cooldown expected this weekend Rainfall possible through Sunday morning By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Resilience Institute Santa Barbara has been holding a free, curbside food pantry weekly since April to assist residents affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Local nonprofit assists nearly 5,000 local residents

The pantry, held in front of the Apostolic Assembly Church at 2035 Bath St., provides residents with dairy products such as eggs, milk and cheese, and meat, as well as breads, cold cuts and fresh vegetables.

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Every Friday afternoon, between eight and 20 volunteers with Resilience Institute Santa Barbara take a weight off the shoulders of up to 300 local families. Since April, in conjunction with the Apostolic Assembly Church at 2035 Bath St., the nonprofit has held a free curbside food pantry in front of the church to assist locals struggling economically as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the past two weeks, 300 new families have received assistance from the food pantry since other local pantries have had to cut their hours down. Resilience Institute isn’t associated with a food bank and doesn’t receive any corporate money. Instead, it holds fundraisers to buy food from the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County. From 2 to 5 p.m. every Friday, recipients pull up to the

It may be time to break out the winter jacket — and maybe even an umbrella. A pair of low-pressure systems are expected to move through Santa Barbara County over the next several days, leading to a sharp drop in temperatures and bringing a slight chance of rain to the area. High temperatures over the next several days are forecast to be in the 60s, with evening lows reaching the low 40s. Today’s temperature change will be roughly 30 degrees below what was experienced on Thursday throughout Santa Barbara County, according to the National Weather Service in Oxnard. Showers were possible Friday night into the early morning hours today, with a 60% chance of precipitation forecast. Showers were likely today, with the possibility of thunderstorms, before 10 a.m. and continuing throughout the day. The chance of rain for today is 70%, mainly impacting inland areas and higher elevation. Rainfall intensities are expected to remain under 0.25 inches per hour, though heavier rainfall rates up to 0.5 inches per hour are possible if thunderstorms were to occur, according to the Weather Service. The low intensity is not expected to provide any mud or debris flows for recent burn areas. The Weather Service notes that the Grapevine could see a dusting of snow and travel delays today or this evening. In addition to the cooler temperatures, gusty winds are expected, though no wind advisories had been issued as of Friday night. A second low-pressure system is expected to reach the area on Sunday, which could bring trace amounts of rain. Widespread wind advisories are possible near the coast and mountains. Snow levels on Sunday are expected to drop slightly lower than what is expected today, which could impact the Grapevine and local mountain roads. Through Sunday, four to six inches of snow may accumulate in the San Rafael Mountains, according to the Weather Service. In terms of total precipitation this weekend, weather officials estimate up to a half-inch of rain falling in Lompoc, with just under a half-inch in both Santa Maria and the Santa Ynez Valley. Through 10 a.m. Sunday, coastal areas, such as the city of Santa Barbara and Goleta, could receive up to a tenth of an inch, according to officials. Looking ahead, the low-pressure systems are expected to move east by Monday and bring a dry northwest flow to the area through Wednesday. Conditions early next week are expected to remain chilly, with frost advisories and freeze warnings possible for inland and interior valleys. High temperatures are expected to remain in the low 60s through Thursday, according to the Weather Service.

T r e e of t h e mon t h Eugenia Syzygium Australe

Versatile plant can take several forms By DAVID GRESS SPECIAL TO THE NEWS-PRESS

Y

DAVID GRESS PHOTOS

ou might be thinking, “Wait a minute. Eugenia isn’t a tree. It’s a hedge!” Well, you would be partly right because Eugenia is one of the most versatile plants in cultivation. It can easily be pruned into several forms: a tree, bush or hedge. Eugenia has been grown in Santa Barbara since the 1880s. In its tree form, it has been planted and maintained by the city on many of our streets and in our parks. In its hedge form, it has been planted and maintained by a multitude of homeowners to outline and/or screen their yards and gardens. After all these years, more than 100 mature Eugenia trees grace our community — and there are more Eugenia hedges around town than we can count! The largest Eugenia tree in California, as listed in the California Big Tree Registry, stands on the grounds of the historic Stow House in Goleta. This arboreal giant is over 140 years old, reaches more than 70 feet tall, carries a canopy spread of over 60 feet and has a trunk diameter of almost 5 feet. It certainly is a tree! Eugenia is usually considered a small-to medium-sized broadleaf evergreen tree. Its crown is pyramidal in shape when young, and with age becomes broad and round with limbs that have graceful pendulous ends. In our climate, it grows at a rate of about 12 inches a year, reaches a height of 30 to 50 feet, and could live for at least 150 years. Certainly, its most distinctive feature is its new foliage, which sprouts out a remarkably bronzered to purple color. As the lanceolate-shaped leaves (1- to 3-inches long and ½ to 1-inch wide) mature, they become dark, shiny and green and fill in densely. A young tree has bark that is light beige with shallow furrows; as it matures, this will change to a dark gray with light-brown underneath. In the summer months, Eugenia has delightful, creamy-white, flowers (½ inch diameter), which appear in terminal cymes at or near the ends of branches, often in clusters of 3 to 7. These are “perfect” flowers (meaning that each flower has both male and female sexual parts). Upon close examination, each bear numerous long stamens (male parts) that end in yellowtipped anthers of pollen, with the result that the entire flower looks, amazingly, like a tiny ball of fiber optic lights. When in full bloom, a Eugenia will resound with the buzz of feasting bees. In the fall, pollinated flowers develop into fruits (averaging ½ inch in diameter) that change color from pinkish magenta into deep purple as they ripen. The fruit is quite edible and has a flavor and texture somewhat like sour apples. It can be eaten either fresh or cooked into jams. Many birds find the fruit delicious — and, consequently, spread the seeds widely. The fruit is attractive on the tree, but after it falls to the ground, it causes maintenance concerns due to the sheer abundance of messy fruit underfoot and the juice’s purple stain. Hedging will remove most of the flowers and, thus, greatly reduce fruit litter. Eugenia lost some of its popularity in America in the late 1980s when we experienced an infestation of an invading psyllid, a sap-sucking winged

insect about the size of an aphid, with the formal name of Trioza eugeniae. This destructive psyllid deforms Eugenia leaves and, in severe cases, causes defoliation. Most of the damage results from the psyllid larva, which create ugly galls that pit and dimple the leaves — and leave behind honeydew spots that soon develop black sooty mold. Fortunately, the infestation was largely combatted through research efforts conducted at UC Berkeley, which determined that tiny eulophid wasps (Tamarixia) naturally parasitize the psyllids. In the 1990s, the importation of these helpful wasps from Australia and their wide release in California solved the problem in most areas, without the use of pesticides. Biological warfare at its best! In addition, the regular shearing of Eugenia hedges — and leaving the clippings as mulch underneath — will keep them generally pest-free and will encourage the formation of the colorful new foliage. Eugenia is very adaptable to pruning, so, in addition to being planted as a hedge, it is frequently trained for topiaries, espaliered on walls and trellises, and used as a bonsai. There are named cultivars selected specifically for dwarf and/or compact growth habit and for psyllid resistance. Eugenia, in any of its forms, does best in full sun to partial shade. When young, it will appreciate some supplemental irrigation. When well-established, it is drought hardy. It can sustain damage at temperatures lower than 25 degrees, so it should be planted in almost frost- free or protected areas. It prefers deep loamy soil but will do quite well in clay and sandy soils. Eugenia is native to coastal rainforests of eastern Australia, which is why it does better with supplemental irrigation. The botanical name for Eugenia is Syzygium australe. The genus name, Syzygium, is derived, via Latin, from the Greek word “syzygos,” meaning “yoked together”, referring to the Y-shaped opposite leaf arrangement. (Surprisingly, this genus includes the commercial clove Syzygium aromaticum). The specific epithet, australe, is derived from the Latin word “australis,” meaning “southern,” and denotes its homeland. While its botanical name has been changed many times over the years by taxonomists, as the result of ongoing genetic research, it is still referred to primarily by its previous genus name, Eugenia. It has other reasonable common names: “Australian Brush Cherry”; “Brush Cherry”; and “Scrub Cherry.” In Australian, its common name is “Lilly Pilly”; go figure. Mature Eugenias stand as street trees in many locations in Santa Barbara. The best examples are found on the 100 to 500 blocks of East Arrellaga Street and on the 600 to 800 blocks of West Arrellaga Street. They are also interplanted with other street tree species on the 900 to 1200 blocks of East Haley Street.

Tree of the Month, presented by Santa Barbara Beautiful, increases awareness and appreciation of Santa Barbara’s many outstanding trees. The nonprofit organization partners with the Parks and Recreation Department to fund tree planting along city streets. Visit Santa Barbara Beautiful’s website, sbbeautiful.org, to get more information on the organization’s programs and activities, and to view past Trees of the Month.

Santa Maria recreation agencies are encouraging residents to decorate their homes for a Christmas contest.

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

’T

is the season to be jolly and spread holiday cheer throughout the community! The Santa Maria Recreation and Park Department and Recreation and Parks Commission invite community members to decorate their homes in the spirit

of the season. Awards will be given to winners in the following categories: • 2020 Best Decorated Rookie Residence: Best decorated new entry. • Country Christmas: Best depiction of western or ranch style holiday. • Homespun Holiday: Best depiction of traditional holidays at home. • California Dreamin’:

Chaucer’s Books will present a virtual author discussion with suspense writer Joe Ide, who is noted for his “IQ� series, at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 18. Mr. Ide is an American crime fiction writer of JapaneseAmerican descent who grew up in South Central Los Angeles, which he uses as the setting for a series of crime novels that feature his recurring young Sherlockian protagonist, Isaiah Quintabe. As a child, his favorite books were the Sherlock Holmes stories written by Arthur Conan Doyle. The idea that a person could face the world and vanquish enemies with just his intelligence fascinated him. Mr. Ide went on to earn a graduate degree and had several careers before writing his debut novel, “IQ,� which was inspired by his early experiences and love of Sherlock. For the Chaucer discussion,

Mr. Ide will talk about the series, which released “High Five� earlier this year. The next installment is “Smoke,� scheduled for release in February. In “High Five,� IQ is back and working a case that involves juggling more personalities than he expected in Christiana, the daughter of the biggest arms dealer on the West Coast. She has five radically different personalities, including a naive beautiful shopkeeper, an obnoxious drummer in a rock band and a wanton seductress. An adaptation of the series will be produced by rapper Snoop Dogg.

Youth Mental Health First Aid training has gone virtual in Santa Barbara County.

Helping youth with mental health issues More than 850 county residents have become certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid. The popular course that teaches participants how to support youth struggling with a mental health or substance abuse problem is now available online. Parents, teachers, and others in Santa Barbara County who work with youth ages 1218 are encouraged to “be the difference� for local youth by participating in a free, upcoming training.. Just as CPR teaches community members to help when a person is having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid training gives people the tools to identify when a young person might be struggling with a mental health or substance use problem. Mental Health First Aiders learn a five-step action

plan that guides them through the process of reaching out and offering appropriate support. “Youth are being impacted by school closures and social distancing guidelines, and they may not be forthcoming about any difficulties they are experiencing,� said Lisa Brabo, executive director for Family Service Agency. “Through this program, we hope to equip adults with the tools to start conversations about any mental health and substance use problems experienced by our local youth.� Nov. 10 is the last chance to take a class this year. Twenty additional classes are being scheduled in 2021. To register, visit bethedifferencesb.org or call 805-884-8440. — Gerry Fall

Dignity Health offers patient financial assistance Dignity Health Central Coast hospitals, which include Arroyo Grande Community Hospital (AGCH), French Hospital Medical Center, (FHMC), and Marian Regional Medical Center (MRMC), annually report on community health programs, including the health needs being addressed, programs and measurable objectives, and the economic value of our community benefit in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties. Their approach to improve community health includes financial assistance for those unable to afford medically necessary care, a range of prevention and health improvement programs conducted by the hospital with community partners, and investing in efforts that address social determinants

of health. Dignity Health Central Coast hospitals offer financial assistance for medically necessary hospital services to patients who meet certain criteria. More information about Dignity Health’s Financial Assistance Policy, including who is eligible to receive assistance, can be found online on Arroyo Grande Community Hospital; French Hospital Medical Center and Marian Regional Medical Center’s websites. In fiscal year 2020 (FY20), Dignity Health Central Coast provided $127,028,058 in patient financial assistance, unreimbursed costs of Medicaid, community health improvement services and other community benefits. — Gerry Fall

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS

“A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.� — John C. Maxwell

ARIES — This day isn’t likely to be the highlight of your week, Aries. You may be aware of constraints at work or home. You’re quite likely to hanker for an appropriate reward for your labor. Any type of recognition would be nice at this point. This is a good day to define new personal and professional goals. They’ll sustain you through your unending chores. TAURUS — It may be that you’ve been a bit too stubborn lately. You’ve been doing whatever you want, giving no consideration to financial constraints. Now it’s urgent that you take care of any unresolved monetary issues. You definitely have some lessons to learn in the area of fiscal responsibility, Taurus! Do what you can to raise your awareness. GEMINI — You may find yourself in a situation where you need to choose whether or not to commit to a relationship, Gemini. Old demons could come back to haunt you, renewing doubts and creating fears about a lack of freedom. Ignore these demons at all costs! If you give in to them, you’re likely to lose a lot of ground. Be courageous and decide on your own. CANCER — Today is going to be a great day for you, Cancer. You aren’t one to embrace rules, constraints, or restrictions of any kind, preferring instead to reside in a fantasy world where no limitations apply. Have you considered that it’s possible for you to join the rest of us here on Earth and still retain your liberty and ideals? LEO — It’s important that you abandon the myth that you don’t have any gifts or talents, Leo. Consider thinking about your talents in the same way you think about your body. When you exercise, eat right, and get plenty of rest, your body responds. Your talents are no different. They need care and nurturing, too. VIRGO — If you’re waiting for someone to come and fill all of your needs, emotional ones in particular, you may have to wait a very long time! You’re responsible for fulfilling your own needs, Virgo. If you don’t, you will be eternally dependent. This would be unlike Virgo, and +*#!2 +1$)"$ certainly unlike you! LIBRA — If you have

children, their difficulties may remind you of your own, Libra. Or it may simply be that their education brings back memories of yours. Are you holding onto an issue from a period in your life that still bothers you? This would be a good moment to ask yourself the question. Ask it, then answer it and put it to rest once and for all! SCORPIO — Don’t spend beyond your means today, Scorpio! If you happen to know some enthusiastic shoppers, it could be disastrous for your finances if you get caught up in the frenzy. On the other hand, perhaps you owe yourself a reward for all your hard work. Is there a gift you could give yourself that doesn’t involve money? Time, perhaps? SAGITTARIUS — Minor tensions could arise today, Sagittarius. People close to you, perhaps your mate or parents, seem to be trying to force you to adopt a behavior that you aren’t at all willing to follow. Will you negotiate your independence gently or tear yourself free from their domination? The second possibility seems more likely. CAPRICORN — The mood may be oppressive today, Capricorn. After meeting the challenges of the past several days, you’re now in need of some well-deserved peace and quiet! Alas, the authorities are unwilling to give it to you. You can expect to be unceremoniously deposited at your desk. Work, it seems, won’t wait until you’ve had a nap. Why not plan an exotic vacation for some point in the future? AQUARIUS — This isn’t a day for sensitive people like you, Aquarius. In fact, the one who shouts the loudest and bangs on the table the hardest is likely to come out the winner today. The air of violence will also have an effect on you. You will be somewhat upset, very thin-skinned, and much more vulnerable than usual. It would be wise to try to stay away from commotion if you can. PISCES — Some differences of opinion concerning your love life are likely to come up today, Pisces. For example, you may find your beloved taking more liberties than you allow yourself. Take your irritation as a sign that this particular relationship could use some freshening up. The day ahead may bring you just what you seek.

Codeword is a fun game with simple rules, and a great way to test your knowledge of the English language. Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

Goleta City Council approves pavement list

Stoker: Trump supporters should be ready to lose the White House ELECTION

Continued from Page A1

COURTESY PHOTO

In a special meeting Wednesday, the Goleta City Council approved the proposed Paving Priority list and directed staff to proceed with a design for a combined 2020/2021 Pavement Rehabilitation Project to fix at least 10 different roads.

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

In a special meeting Wednesday, Goleta City Council members unanimously approved the proposed Paving Priority list and directed staff to proceed with a design for a combined 2020/2021 Pavement Rehabilitation Project. The council chose a budget of $5.8 million a year over a five-year period to meet the PCI goals previously established by the council. The annual $5.8 million doesn’t include future year inflation or increased construction costs. The Pavement Management Plan is a tool used during the design phase to help establish priorities. The design phase is likely to take another three months to complete, followed by another two to three months to advertise for construction bids. This would be followed by another two to three months to award the project and start construction. The budget scenario selected will be an increase of $3.3 million per year, so the city now needs to identify a dedicated revenue stream or alternative financing option. “What I’m hearing from our constituents is that we can’t continue to just put Band-aids

on things. We’ve got to do it right,� said Mayor Paula Perotte during the meeting. “We have a big problem, and it’s not going to go away until we figure out how to fund it, and our constituents expect that from us.� The Pavement Rehabilitation Project is funded by sources including Gas Tax, SB1 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account, Local Surface Transportation Program and Measure A funding. There are nine priorities city staff listed for the project. Some require complete reconstruction of the roadways; others call for grind, overlay and pavement repairs. The top two priorities are to reconstruct the roadway of Cathedral Oaks Road from Glen Annie Road to Alameda Avenue, an estimated cost of $1 million, and perform overlay, pavement repairs and a six-inch grind to Cathedral Oaks Road from Calle Real to Winchester Canyon Road, an estimated cost of $750,000. Other repairs and reconstructions include sections of Glen Annie Road, Storke Road, Calle Real, Colomoa Drive, Forest Drive, Evergreen Drive, Hillview Drive, Hollister Avenue and Kellogg Avenue. The total estimated cost of repairs is $6

million. “At some point, we’re going to have to face the fact that we need more resources, and if we’re going to make the kinds of changes we need, we’re going to have to invest in our roads,� said council member James Kyriaco. “It’s increasingly clear to our residents as we enter into a new stage of COVID that there’s going to be a lot of impacts on our scarce resources now, and for at least the near term, I’m reminded of the expression, ‘You can’t give what you ain’t got.’ “It’s time to make the hard choices, start to face these issues, confront them head on and be honest with people,� he continued. “I think the public will understand and support our efforts.� Staff recommended that the council consider costs of long-term needs of the PMP alongside costs of other needs and commitments facing Goleta. More information on these options and how the council will find a source of revenue will be presented to the council during a workshop on Dec. 10. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

in batches of votes that have arrived in the tens of thousands and unanimously been in Mr. Biden’s favor without a single vote for President Trump. He said that a 32,000 batch of ballots in Pennsylvania was like this, and that one-sided batches such as this are completely implausible. “It doesn’t happen. You do not have a 32,000 election batch for anything,� he said. In Pennsylvania, the president’s campaign filed a lawsuit to cease the vote count until Republican poll watchers were allowed better access in watching the votes get counted, alleging that state election officials weren’t allowing them to observe at the six-foot distance as they were due. David Atkins, the California Democratic Party region 10 director and Santa Barbara County Democratic Central Committee south vice chair, called the president’s lawsuits “specious,� “without merit� and not consequential enough to impact the outcome of the election even if they were valid. “There’s no reason that serious legal analysts either had any merit or that they would fundamentally affect the count even if they did,� he told the News-Press. When asked about deceased individuals showing up among registered voters in Michigan and the president’s lawsuit alleging that there were votes cast in Nevada by people who longer qualify as residents, Mr. Atkins said that the former is indicative of problems that can arise with individual votes, not systemic voter fraud. While he admitted to not knowing enough about the latter to comment, he said neither case is a problem that state registrars can’t handle. “The registrars are competent and capable of dealing with invalid ballots as they arrive. There’s no reason to believe that invalid ballots are being counted in any state,� he said. While Mr. Stoker does believe the allegations from the president’s campaign are valid, he doesn’t see any pathway to victory for President Trump by

the end of the litigation. As convinced as he is that illegal ballots are being counted along with legal ones, Mr. Stoker said they have been commingled and can never be separated after getting run through a voting machine. Even if certain voters who returned ballots are discovered to have been ineligible whether they’re deceased, are not residents of the state in which they voted or have missed the voting deadline, Mr. Stoker said there’s no way to determine exactly which ballot was theirs. Even if these irregularities are found to be true after getting fought out in court, the attorney said there isn’t any way to remedy those findings because a judge cannot order a new election. For this reason, Mr. Stoker said supporters of the president should come to terms with the probability that Mr. Trump won’t be occupying the White House after Jan. 21. “Notwithstanding these irregularities, as an attorney knowing election law and knowing what it will take to reverse results and the remedies available to a judge, I think there is very little likelihood that the results will be changed, and therefore I think especially for those on my side of the aisle that have supported the president, that we should prepare ourselves for Joe Biden to be declared the winner,� he said. If that is the case, he hopes that Republicans will wish the new president-elect success for the sake of the United States and set their eyes on the future, which he said should be focused on election reform, particularly in Democrat-run major cities. There is one way in which Mr. Stoker believes the president’s path to victory could open back up, but it would demand extreme hubris from election operators. “The one chance we would have is in a recount,� he said. “It is conceivable if potentially those that were behind the irregularities were so arrogant as to run ballots that have no name that corresponds to it. That is one area that a recount will clearly be able to identify.� email: jgrega@newspress.com

Anneline Breytenbach, a freshman from Atascadero, will lead Westmont College’s women into today’s Golden State Athletic Conference Championships in Rocklin. She was named GSAC Female Athlete of the Month after having won the William Jessup Warrior Invitational on Oct. 24.

By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Westmont College added some spring to its step for today’s Golden State Athletic Conference Cross Country Championships by putting two league awards into its trophy case. Freshmen Caleb Mettler and Anneline Breytenbach were named GSAC Athletes of the Month for October on the eve of today’s meet in Rocklin. Performances during the month of September were also considered in the selection of the monthly men’s and women’s cross country awards. Mettler led the Warriors to a team victory in his collegiate debut, placing second at The Master’s Invitational Race 2 on Sept. 26. He finished the 8K in a time of 27:30.2. He improved that time to 26:32.5 while finishing fourth at the William Jessup Warrior Invitational on Oct. 24. “Caleb Mettler has shown an

outstanding racing acumen as he has taken to the longer collegiate 8K race,” Warrior coach Russell Smelley said. “He is positive in attitude and a good student of the sport in how he observes elements that can make him and his teammates better.” He was on pace for a top-four finish at the Westmont Tri-Meet on Oct. 9, but the leading group of four runners took a wrong turn that took them out of contention. He does know today’s GSAC Championships course, which was the site the William Jessup meet two weeks ago. “The course is challenging and requires focus and determination,” Smelley said. “It was good to see the course to gauge the effort required to race equitably at GSAC.” Both his men’s and women’s teams are hopeful of improving on their rankings of No. 3 in the GSAC’s preseason poll. Breytenbach, a late admit

to Westmont after originally enrolling at UCLA, ran unattached at Westmont’s TriMeet while undergoing eligibility clearance by the NAIA. The former multi-sport star from Atascadero High was the unofficial winner of the Warriors’ 4K race. She followed that up as the official winner of the Jessup meet, edging Mariah Hildebrandt of The Masters by just .01 of a second with a 5K time of 19:16.3. “Anneline is a pleasant walk-on surprise,” Smelley said. “She is a competitor at heart, so racing is an extension of her personality. “She has embraced the team and the training and made herself at home with the Warriors.” Smelley has added several other impact freshmen to his roster this season. On the women’s team, Kacie Kwan of Hawaii Baptist High School won both The Masters Please see WESTMONT on A8

Sports seasons at SBCC, Hancock left in doubt By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

The Western State Conference, the sports league for both Santa Barbara City College and Hancock College, will meet on Monday to discuss the viability of holding competition this year under the cloud of the COVID-19 pandemic. The ball was put back into its court after the California Community College Athletic Association’s Board of Directors voted on Friday to keep its modified calendar. It heard three options from its COVID Working Group. “We’re still kind of in a waiting game,” SBCC director of athletics Rocco Constantino said. “I will be interested to see what the discussion is at the WSC meeting Monday.” The state board voted to stick with a plan that extends the semester to June 23 while splitting all JC sports into two seasons. Constantino sent a summary of Friday’s CCCAA meeting to SBCC’s administration. “We likely would have to make a decision on opting in or out of sports sometime in the next few weeks,” he said. Football at SBCC and Hancock College are scheduled to begin official workouts on Jan. 18 and play their first games on Feb. 13. Six other sports — basketball, cross country, women’s golf, soccer, women’s volleyball and water polo — would begin play a week earlier, on Feb. 5. They would all end their regular seasons on April 6, with a regional playoff period running from April 10-17. Spring sports (baseball, beach volleyball, men’s golf, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, and men’s volleyball) would begin workouts on March 27 and competition on April 10. The regular season

would end June 12, with a oneweek playoff period from June 16-23. “It will now be up to the institutions to decide if they are going to opt out of any or all competition,” Constantino said. “Schools may pick and choose which sports they would like to compete in. “They can compete in all of them, none of them or anything in between. There was discussion of schools opting out for the first half of the spring, but then opting back in for the second half, and that was approved as an option for schools, as well.” The CCCAA Board of Directors did announce a change in testing protocols. Only high-risk sports are required to test all personnel after every single competition. At SBCC, they include football,

soccer, basketball, volleyball and water polo. The other sports must test “regularly” in a timetable established by the individual school. “The state athletic trainers were tasked with creating some guidelines,” Constantino said. “We have already made those guidelines in our department and can adjust if needed.” The CCCAA also passed a waiver stating that the 2020-2021 school year will not count towards a student-athlete’s service time. “Every governing body in the country has now passed that waiver except the NCAA,” Constantino said. “It was said that the NCAA is expected to honor the waiver that was passed by the CCCAA today.” email: mpatton@newspress.com

Local realtor awarded National Association of Realtors’ highest honor By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Each year, the National Association of Realtors hands out its Distinguished Service Award to two of its 1.4 million members, and this year local realtor Diana Bull is one of that duo. Started in 1979, the DSA honors realtors who have made outstanding contributions to the real estate industry and serve as leaders in their communities. According to an NAR press release, it is considered the highest honor a member of the organization can receive. Ms. Bull said she is the first woman from the state of California to receive this award. The realtor told the News-Press that getting women to key positions in the real estate industry has long been a priority of hers. “Since 1999 I’ve been trying to get women appointed to key positions, and cultural diversity, and it’s worked. It’s worked for the past 21 years for the California association of

realtors. I had to break that glass ceiling and I did,” she said. For more than 40 years, Ms. Bull led her own real estate brokerage and mortgage operation and is currently chief financial officer and broker-associate with Pacific Crest Realty, which is owned by her daughter, Staci Caplan. NAR president Vince Malta of San Francisco said of Ms. Bull, “Diana has had a tremendous impact on the real estate industry through her trailblazing accomplishments and selfless service to her fellow Realtors in California and across the country.” Throughout her real estate career, Ms. Bull has held leadership positions in the NAR. She served on its board of directors for 31 years, was its Liaison for Law & Policy in 2016, its Region 13 vice president in 2006, and has served on its Finance and Budget Review committees since 2001. She also served as president of the Santa Barbara Association of Realtors in 1982, in 1996 and 1997. She was the first female

treasurer of the California Association of Realtors, served as CAR’s president in 1999, and was president of the National Association of Women Business Owners in 2012. Ms. Bull is also a certified instructor in real estate finance and in 2008, the Pacific Coast Business Times selected her as one of its “Top 5 Women in Business.” Ms. Bull said it was a “huge honor” to receive the DSA and that she was especially happy to have it signed by fellow Californians, Mr. Malta, California Association of Realtors president Jeanne Radsick of Bakersfield, and her daughter Ms. Caplan, who is president of the Santa Barbara Association of Realtors. “To have this award signed by three Californians, I had tears in my eyes when I saw this,” she said. She added, “The statue they gave me looked like an Oscar.” email: jgrega@newspress.com

Cold Spring bond measure falls short MONTECITO —The Cold Spring School District bond measure remains short of the votes needed for passage. With all four precincts reporting, there were 683 “yes” votes, or 52.18%, according to the semi-official results from the Santa Barbara County Elections Office (countyofsb. org).

set them aside for any recipients’ birthdays they’re aware of. Jacqueline Inda is the founder of Resilience Institute Santa Barbara and runs the whole operation. She said that residents who come to the food bank don’t only come for the fresh produce. She told the News-Press that Resilience Institute received money from the Bower Foundation to help people with their utility bills, especially families with children learning remotely. “A lot of the folks in this neighborhood are not used to asking for help or coming by to get help, so they appreciate the fact that it’s completely confidential and they don’t have to give out any records,” Ms. Inda said. “We know it’s only going to get more and more challenging. The focus goes on national news and counting votes rather than helping those who really need it.” Before COVID-19, the nonprofit worked to lower recidivism in the region, holding domestic violence classes, anger management and intervention programs and working with the Mexican Consulate to help families through the immigration process. The organization would also take government vehicles to the consulate to provide clothing and blankets to children in border facilities.

Now, along with providing food and helping with utilities, Resilience Institute helps local residents apply for grants and assistance from the government, and has a stock of 10,000 face masks that they hand out to food recipients. “It’s a sensitive subject because most of the people who come to our pantry are not used to going to food pantries,” Ms. Inda continued. “They have told us, ‘We’re not going to apply for CalWORKs or CalFresh. We’ve never done that and we’re never going to do that.’ “I don’t know if it’s a pride thing or if they’ve always felt that instinct to provide for their own families. We just want to help people do what they need to for their families to help them survive.” On Friday, Gina Catalan, one of the volunteers, was taking down the names and needs of dozens of recipients in the parking lot of the Santa Barbara City College School of Extended Learning across the street from the church. Ms. Catalan attends Apostolic Assembly Church, which is partly why she volunteers. “It’s giving support to my church and helping other families in the community which I like to do,” she told the News-Press. “It (fresh food) is really expensive, so it’s a big help for all of us to keep eating

William Edward Stoltz (Bill), passed away October 24, with his family by his side. He was a veritable Stars and Stripes baby born on the Fourth of July, 1928, in Honolulu, Hawaii. He was a Navy brat born to Frank Stoltz, a Radioman Chief Officer for 30 years during WW1 and WW11, and Mary Stoltz, one of the first graduates from Eastern Washington State Teachers College and Captain of the women’s basketball team. Unfortunately, at 2 years old, before the vaccine, Bill was diagnosed with polio affecting his foot and ankle. Unable to participate in the military like his dad or play much in team sports, Bill managed to strive as a leader in many other disciplines.

Lynette Joyce (Bramsen) Allcott left family and friends grieving but remembering a cheerful, non-complaining nature that reflected Christ’s love for us. She had battled cancer since early 2019 and joined her Heavenly Father late Sunday, Oct. 18, 2020; the day after the wedding of her 12th nephew - a weekend of joy and grief.

Bill worked for Rohr Corporation in Chula Vista as General Supervisor for 21 years, where he met and married Joanne, his wife of over 50 years. He and Joanne and his young family moved to Santa Barbara in 1970, where he was recruited by Santa Barbara Research Center to join as a Department Head in the Materiel Department. He was truly an outstanding leader respected by both higher management and his staff. Bill had a way of commanding respect from his family, and in his career and community. He had a love for golf and was a member of the Paisanos for 30 years and the SB Golf Club. He was a Gentleman Farmer in his avocado orchard and enjoyed gardening. He enjoyed working on and fishing from his boat. Played trombone in a Big Band during his younger years. Loved Big Band Music, enjoyed a good party and was quite a dancer and foremost, loved his Joanne. Bill was a man of faith and over the years served in many capacities at Holy Cross Church. The Stoltz family have a tradition for giving one of the biggest and best annual Fourth of July parties on the upper Mesa in Santa Barbara. The perennial party is complete with up to 4 generations of family, Bill and Joanne’s closest friends, a Dixieland Band, lots of food, cocktails, dancing and fireworks. Bill is survived by his wife, Joanne; his sons Mike, Steve and Dave; Grandchildren Sarah, Matt, Zachary, Brandon and Josh, three great grandchildren, Elena, Lillia and Bodie, his brother John and many devoted nieces, nephews and cousins. Bill is the love of Joanne’s life and the lives that have crossed Bill’s path will be forever enriched. Some of the last words to Bill by his children were “Dad, you have made us better people.” Our family would like to extend our extreme gratitude for the professional staff at Cottage Hospital, his immediate Doctors, Dr. Rosenbloom, Dr. Greenwald and Dr. Moore and Assisted Hospice Care, who cared for Bill during his last days. Due to Covid-19, the Stoltz Family have chosen to have a service and Celebration of Life on Bill’s Birthday, July 4, 2021. We will update you with more information as the date approaches. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to Shriner’s Hospital for Children or Holy Cross Church, 1740 Cliff Dr. SB 93109

Born Feb. 25, 1969 at Cottage Hospital like her Bramsen siblings, she was the youngest and always the smallest of 6, but maybe the toughest. She was a great sport with a good laugh. Her siblings were San Marcos grads, but she had her own good experience at SBHS. She earned a degree in Biblical studies from Multnomah University, Portland, OR. She joins her Dad, Chris Bramsen, who went Heavenward in 1990. She leaves behind her dear mother, Ellen Bramsen, of Sunds, Denmark; brothers Dave (& Nanci) Bramsen and Paul (& Carol) Bramsen; and sisters Evelyn (& Rich) Prohaska, Annie (& Gary) Earl, and Heidi (& Monty) Rieck; and her husband’s parents, Frank and Mary Allcott and his brother Steve (& Jennifer) Allcott. She was much loved by 60 nieces and nephews of 2 generations. Some flew to SB to join many who honored her in sweet words of sorrow, love, and joy at a memorial held Oct. 22 at Calvary Chapel SB. Lynette’s focal point of earthly love and relationship was her husband Dave, of SB Sheriff ’s Office, and their 3 children; Benjamin, Christoffer, and Victoria, students at Dos Pueblos HS and Coastline Christian Academy. Their close relationship was effected by the way she so well loved them. She was a master at organizing occasional road trips as in this past July to Mt. Rushmore and the Tetons, where she smiles, in photo, lower left. She cherished those times to focus on her family. Lynette endured months of chemo and radiation treatments, yet she spread love and cheerful attitude, such that it wasn’t overtly evident how ill she was. Just 8 days before she passed, she joyfully visited her family members at a large gathering for her oneyear-old grand-niece Octavia. She did not complain or focus on herself. She referred the days of her journey back into Christ’s hands: in the words of her husband, “God’s Got This.” In her honor, donations can be made to Coastline Christian Academy, which has shown great support to the family in years of education and in this time of loss. She is deeply missed and fondly remembered. “My peace I give to you, not as the world gives do I give to you…” between Fri.,John14:27 July 5 thru Mon., July 8, the deadline is Wed., July 3 at 12 noon
