More precipitation from Wednesday’s winter rainstorm is expected to hit Santa Barbara County through tonight. The National Weather Service in Oxnard is calling for another one to three inches of moderate to heavy rainfall across the county today, bringing total storm accumulations to two to six inches. The main front of the storm hovered over San Luis Obispo County Wednesday, but today the storm is expected to “slide down the coast” and drop precipitation over Santa Barbara County for most of the day, Meteorologist Joe Sirard told the News-Press. Some areas on the Central Coast of San Luis Obispo County saw up to six inches of rain on Wednesday, according to weather officials. As the storm system shifts, heavier rains are expected in Santa Barbara this afternoon. “(San Luis Obispo County) got hammered, absolutely hammered with rain up there,” Mr. Sirard said. Despite consistent rain showers throughout today, weather officials say the chance of mudslides remains Please see weather on A8

Mission Creek under West Mason Street was a popular feeding spot for Mandarin ducks on Wednesday as a light rain fell overhead.

Santa Barbara County has officially signed on to the regional partnership to develop a thriving commercial space industry at Vandenberg Air Force Base and the surrounding area. Members of the County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Tuesday to join the existing memorandum of understanding between REACH, Cal Poly, Deloitte, the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development and the 30th Space Wing to support development of a Phase 1 master plan for commercial space on the Central Coast. The master plan is expected to be completed by spring with the help of Santa Barbara County. “It’s an important milestone in the county’s economic

Wednesday marked the first rain event of the calendar year for Santa Barbara, and the city of Santa Barbara Public Works Department was ready for anything. As of Wednesday, around 2,000 sandbags were picked up from the two city locations offering them, Fire Station 7, 2411 Stanwood Drive, and the annex yard at 401 E. Yanonali St., according to the acting public works director, Joshua Haggmark. The city’s street and water resources staff is out on rotation around the clock making sure all areas have coverage in the event of a major downpour. “A lot of the planning for this actually happens in the six to nine

months leading up to this,” Mr. Haggmark told the News-Press. “This is just kind of game day. We’ve been prepping for it.” He said city street crews have been proactively cleaning out storm drains and making sure all the grates are cleared going into this storm. In addition, city crews are roaming certain areas looking for any potential issues. The city also temporarily opened its Emergency Operations Center to handle an influx of calls. No street closures or debris cleanups were reported in the city on Wednesday, but the forecast indicates that the more intense rain event is likely to occur today. Mr. Haggmark added that the city is keeping a close eye on Sycamore Creek, including the vegetation growing in it, to ensure

to monitor radio and TV, and visit the city’s website, www. santabarbaraca.gov, for updates and announcements. Upon visiting the sandbag station, residents should bring their own gloves and shovels and be prepared to fill the bags they need. In addition, they should only fill the bags halfway so they’re not too heavy to lift and will stack properly. Each resident may take 20 sandbags per trip. Pre-filled sandbags are also available through the county, and those interested can call 805-5683440.

Santa Barbara Unified School District’s board clerk Wendy Sims-Moten partnered with new board member Virginia Alvarez to create a board resolution “affirming the district’s commitment to justice through equity-driven policies, procedures and practices.” It was passed unanimously by the board Tuesday evening. “I do want to point out the why of this resolution, it is directly tied to the why of the district, and the why of the district the mission is to educate kids,” Ms. Alvarez said. “There’s one phrase that Wendy and I talked about when we were working on this resolution. And this really resonates with me, when it says achieving equity is when students’ identity does not predetermine their success in

school,” she said. Ms. Sims-Moten also spoke to the importance of including every student across school policies. “Equity is a fundamental principle, that must be part of what we do,” she said. “It gives us the guidelines, it gives us the base, and the foundation as we go through all of our systems. “When we look through our budget, when we look through communication, are we communicating in an equitable way? Or what we are doing isn’t really getting at the heart, as Ms. Alvarez said, the education of our students.” The resolution states that its intent is to “publicly commit to accelerate our efforts around diversity, inclusion, and racial equity through equity-driven allocation of resources; safe, rigorous, and affirming learning environments and supplemental Please see equity on A2

debris breaks loose and doesn’t get plugged downstream, and the watershed above the Gibraltar Reservoir. Staff is also keeping an eye on State Street and all the parklets along the corridor, ensuring they don’t block any storm flows in the street. Contingency planning is available if issues arise. He said that community members living in potential mudslide areas should already be aware of safety precautions. “I’m not anticipating a huge problem,” Mr. Haggmark said. “It’s dependent on the intensity as to how much of an impact it’s going to have, but I think we’ll be fine. “I’m not worried yet. If we get another major event on top of this, that might increase my concerns.” Residents can pick up sandbags free of charge and are encouraged

VAFB could support more spacerelated activities with companies across the industry, as it already maintains active launch capabilities.

and resources needed for the most marginalized students in our district, with an emphasis on equity rather than equality.� The resolution defines equity as giving each student what they need to succeed, whereas equality gives “the same amount of resources, instruction, attention, etc.� “Our students deserve to have mirrors in the classroom, people that understand them and understand their rich histories and contributions to our communities,� Chelsea Lancaster, student program advisor at Santa Barbara City College, said. Some public commenters expressed concern about the resolution’s lack of measurable goals but all were pleased by the board’s direction. The resolution authorizes Superintendent Hilda Maldonado to change the hiring practices

to better represent the ethnic makeup of the district’s students. “Since the school board only has one employee, the superintendent, I was also gratified to approve a resolution that directs the superintendent to ensure that this equity policy drives all decision making. We will expect to hear updates on the ways that we are actively putting our statements into action,� Board President Kate Ford said in a statement to the News-Press. She also pointed out the strain COVID-19 has put on already disadvantaged groups, saying “the gap between haves and have nots has grown wider and wider.� “We can’t just stop with saying equity. We have to continually beat the drum and do the work,� board member Laura Capps said. “It isn’t just words; there is real action in this resolution.�

She pointed to the hiring directives, in particular revising job descriptions, roles and responsibilities. The resolution calls for an evaluation process of district employees to ensure their commitment to equity. The board also passed a resolution to celebrate Black History Month. “Of course we must commit to ensuring that our students develop a greater understanding of the roles African Americans have played throughout the history of our nation all year round, but Black History Month in particular is a time for celebration and reflection,� Ms. Ford said. The two resolutions were drafted by Ms. Sims-Moten and Ms. Alvarez with some input by Ms. Ford.

Herb Peterson Day

Egg McMuffin sales to help SB Neighborhood Clinics and COVID-19 vaccinations By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

D King salmon: poke cut My family enjoys salmon at least once a week, with both raw and cooked preparations regularly on the menu. It is one of the healthiest food sources around, particularly when you find a great wild salmon source, such as Ben Hyman’s King Salmon, available at our weekly Saturday Santa Barbara farmers’ market from his Wild Local Seafood Co. The past few weeks I have been drawn to his “poke cut,” which are small cuts off the fish spine and belly. Packaged in leaner pre-cut strips, it is ideal for quick raw preparations with no cutting needed, such as the Raw Salmon Poke Sashimi recipe in the Fix of the Week on A4. If you have any questions about their cuts or various preparation technique suggestions, you can always ask their very knowledgeable crew. The price is $22 per pound.

White sapote A typical fruit incorporated into Latin American quinine, sapote is recognized by its rounded physique that transforms from green to pale yellow when ripe. It’s sweet with a custard-like texture. Sapote can be enjoyed raw, either with or without the skin, incorporated into a smoothie or as one of a host of desserts. You can currently find white sapote available for sale from both Rancho Santa Cecilia and Rancho Vista Del Mundo at the weekly Saturday Santa Barbara, Sunday Camino Real, Tuesday Santa Barbara, Wednesday Solvang, and Thursday Carpinteria farmers’’ markets. The price averages $3 per pound.

David Peterson, owner of the McDonalds restaurants in Goleta, enjoys an Egg McMuffin as he sits in front of a photo of his father, Herb Peterson, who invented the breakfast treat. Egg McMuffins will sell for $2 each (with a minimum order of five) on Friday for Herb Peterson Day at the various McDonalds in Goleta and Santa Barbara.

avid Peterson remembers that day back in 1971 at the McDonalds on upper State Street when his father, Herb Peterson, was revealing his creation. The Egg McMuffin. McDonalds Corp. founder Ray Kroc couldn’t eat enough of them. Herb was presenting his convenient, hand-held version of an Eggs Benedict to Mr. Kroc, who had a ranch in Santa Barbara and visited the city often. “If you know anything about Ray Kroc, he had a huge personality. He had at least four Egg McMuffins and said, ‘Herb, we’ve got to do it!’” David Peterson told the NewsPress. “Three weeks later, my dad went to Chicago with his chef’s costume and his egg ring — it was the genius behind the deal because it kept the egg from running everywhere — and made it for the board of directors. It sold nationally, and today breakfast is 35 percent of our business.” David is honoring his father, who died in 2008 at age 89, with the annual Herb Peterson Day. On Friday, Egg McMuffins will sell for $2 with a minimum order of five of them at the various McDonalds in Santa Barbara and Goleta. It’s a tradition David started more than a decade ago, but this year, there’s a twist. All of the profits from the special sales will go to the Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics to help with COVID-19 vaccination efforts. “I’ve committed to personally, whether we raise it or not, give $2,000. Hopefully we’ll do more than that,” said David, a Montecito resident who owns the two McDonalds in Goleta. He noted his employees get care at the Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics. Dr. Charles Fenzi, the clinics’ CEO and chief medical officer, expressed his gratitude for McDonalds’ help during a conference call that included David Peterson and the NewsPress. “This is really awesome,” Dr. Fenzi told David. “Thank you for setting this up.” Dr. Fenzi said the money will be a big help with the clinics’ vaccination efforts. “We’ve already done three vaccination events, and we’re planning many more,” he told the News-Press. Dr. Fenzi said the Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics first vaccinated its approximately 150member staff. Next, the clinics vaccinated 41 healthcare workers at Planned Parenthood. Last weekend, the clinics vaccinated 220 people, which included those who are 75 and older and patients who are healthcare workers, Dr. Fenzi said. Please see mcmuffin on A4

Pinkerton avocados If you’re looking for another avocado option in addition to the bacon avocados available in the winter months, you may want to check out these large Pinkerton avocados. Making for a healthy addition to your diets, avocados act as a nutrient booster that enables your body to absorb more fat-soluble nutrients when eaten with other foods. Add them to a salad, a sandwich or spring roll. They are also great in a guacamole, over your tacos or scrambled eggs. They’re currently available at the Saturday Santa Barbara farmers’ market from several local producers.

Whale watching trips resume

used to eat fish no more than a few times a month. Over the past year, my family made a shift to enjoying it at least once per week, which quickly became a twice-a-week occurrence. Lately fish has turned into the main protein source on my family’s plate about three times a week, with all of us, including my 4 and 6-yearold kids, absolutely loving a variety of species from the sea. From local rockfish, halibut and salmon to yellowfin tuna, albacore and seabass, I utilize an array of preparation techniques depending on what we’re making. Our family tends to bounce back and forth between both cooked and raw preparations. When choosing the raw option, it’s important you select fish that is appropriate for such use. In regards to salmon, for example, the fish should first go through a proper freezing process to ensure it is absent of parasites and safe to consume raw. Salmon is one fish that is always at the top of our list. Thankfully at the Saturday Santa Barbara farmers’ markets, Ben Hyman of Wild Local Seafood Co. has some excellent sashimi/sushi grade wild king salmon that I have been purchasing on a weekly basis. There are a couple of ways that I regularly enjoy my raw salmon. The first is very simple: raw fish on a plate that is splashed with a couple of lemon wedges, then enjoyed dipped in a little soy sauce with

wasabi worked in. The other is to prepare a poke-style recipe, with the salmon tossed in a mix of sesame oil, green onion, sesame seeds, chili garlic sauce and soy sauce. Sometimes I’ll add avocado, sometimes julienned carrots, sliced red onion and/or jalapeño. A raw salmon poke recipe can be served right on a platter as is, over sticky rice with Chinese cabbage or in homemade sushi rolls. It’s super fresh, incredibly healthy — and beyond delicious.

Island Packers, which offers daily trips to the Channel Islands from Ventura Harbor Village, has reopened and is offering whale watching. The company is the official boat concessionaire to the Channel Islands National Park. Passengers on the Island Packers’ trips can view Pacific gray whales migrating through the Santa Barbara Channel from their feeding grounds in Alaska to their breeding grounds in Baja. Pacific Gray Whales are normally sighted in the National Marine Sanctuary near Anacapa and Santa Cruz Islands. The sightings began in late December and usually extend through the middle of April. This mammoth migration of more than 20,000 whales and 6,000 miles two times a year remains a major attraction in Southern California.

Island Packers has resumed its daily trips to Anacapa Island.

Sightings of the southern migration began in December for Pacific gray whales and humpback whales, fin whales, and occasionally orcas. Common

Dr. Fenzi said the next vaccination event will depend on when the clinics get the next batch of doses. “As you know, the pipeline is trickling right now. I understand it’s really going to get ramped up, and I can’t wait. “We’re working on a volunteer force that will allow us to do vaccines every day,” he said. “Our estimate would be if we can get this running completely, we could do perhaps 5,000 or 6,000 vaccinations a week.” Dr. Fenzi said the Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics serve more than a thousand patients who are 75 and older. After they are vaccinated, the clinics will move on to the 6575 age group, and Dr. Fenzi said those vaccinations could happen as soon as mid-February, provided the clinics receive the needed number of doses. David said Herb would be happy that the Herb Peterson Day sales are helping the Neighborhood Clinics. “My dad would love this cause. It’s a perfect fit.” David noted his father served on the board of the Santa Barbara Medical Foundation Clinic, which merged in 1998 with Sansum Medical Clinic. In 2006, the merged clinic became known as

He added that his father liked helping many nonprofits, ranging from the Santa Barbara Zoo to the Special Olympics. “There isn’t a joga-thon we haven’t participated in. My dad loved this town and loved to give back to it. “He was a pied piper in town,” David said, noting people often tell him, “I knew your dad. He was my best friend.” “He just had that charm and that way. He loved Santa Barbara, and Santa Barbara loved him,” David said, adding, “The Egg McMuffin was the love of his life. “He wasn’t very humble when it came to the Egg McMuffin,” David said, chuckling. The Egg McMuffin remains popular. The 310-calorie treat consists of an English muffin toasted to perfection, Canadian bacon, American cheese, a poached egg and butter, David said. Dr. Fenzi noted he’s a fan of the Egg McMuffin. “It has a unique flavor. I think it’s the cheese that does that. And it’s on top of an English muffin. “English muffins are one of my favorite breakfast dishes anyway. Combine that with the egg and the ham, and it’s just wonderful.” email: dmason@newspres.com

will want to remember them later. LIBRA — If you’ve considered a career in healing, psychic, or spiritual studies or the creative arts, Libra, today the opportunity to make that dream a reality could come your way. A close friend could open the door for you. Your own psychic and artistic abilities should be operating at a very high level, so don’t be intimidated. You’re good at what you do and are likely to remain so. SCORPIO — Romance could be on your mind today, Scorpio. This could be due to a recent wonderful encounter with a love partner. Since then, listening to romantic music may have enhanced your feelings. You will want to schedule another meeting, but you might hold back because you don’t want to seem pushy. Go ahead and call your friend. You might be pleasantly surprised by the response. SAGITTARIUS — A very beautiful, romantic dream could inspire exalted artistic activities today, Sagittarius. You might want to paint, draw, write, compose music, sew, or cook up a new recipe. Whatever you do, you won’t do it simply for your own amusement. You will want to show your work to others and seek their opinions and approval. Your business acumen could be as active as your artistic side. CAPRICORN — A rush of intense love and romantic passion for a special someone might turn your mind toward marriage, Capricorn. The wedding of a friend may contribute to these thoughts. Your partner may still have doubts about moving to the next level of commitment, even though there’s no question that he or she truly loves you. Be patient and hold your tongue. You will know when the time is right. AQUARIUS — Today you could experience a strong desire to clear your psyche of past traumas that limit you, Aquarius. You may decide to register for a seminar or workshop of some kind. If you sign up today, all signs are that you will not only attain the results you want but you will also meet some interesting new people. Among them could be a potential love partner. Go for it, and have fun. PISCES — Love, passion, romance, and marriage - your mind will focus on these matters all day even if there’s no special person in your life right now, Pisces. If you are involved, don’t be surprised if talk of a long-term commitment creeps into your conversations with your beloved. If you aren’t involved, someone new and exciting could appear on the scene. When you go out, make sure you look your best.

“The secret of my influence has always been that it remained secret.� — Salvador Dali

ARIES — The approach of a very special visitor might cause you to thoroughly clean your house, Aries. Afterward, you could look for new and interesting ways to dress it up with some new plants, throw pillows, or other decorative touches. This can be tiresome, but definitely worthwhile. When your friend arrives, he or she will feel at home. Work hard and then make yourself look great. TAURUS — Romantic novels and movies could be more appealing than usual today, Taurus. You’re in an especially intense mindset. If you’re involved, your relationship could be near the point where it has to move ahead or end. Chances are it will move ahead. If you aren’t attached, your loving nature will attract more than one potential partner into your aura. Be prepared, and expect the unexpected. GEMINI — Your financial situation could get a strong boost today, Gemini. This might be due to a contract you’ve just signed, perhaps involving some work you will do on your own rather than for an employer. The project may have strong personal significance. The creative arts could be involved, as well as technology. Be prepared for a busy month, but it will be a great one. Go for the gold! CANCER — Today you may decide to study healing, Cancer. You could read about alternative methods regarding diet, herbs, aromatherapy, massage, or acupuncture. You might decide to learn some hands-on methods. Whether or not you ever practice any of these professionally, learning about them should transform your life for the better on both physical and emotional levels. Make the most of it. LEO — Today you might decide to sign up for an advanced course of some kind, Leo. This might include world religions or perhaps meditation. Stay out of bookstores, both physical and online. You might spend a fortune on books on your chosen subject. The effect of this is likely to be more profound than a simple accumulation of knowledge. Prepare to be transformed. VIRGO — A group of friends may invite you to attend a festival or workshop involving the creative arts or metaphysical studies, or perhaps both, Virgo. You might resist at first, but once you get there you will find the subject and instructor captivating. Afterward, you won’t want to talk about it. You will be too preoccupied with your +*#!2 +1$)"$ thoughts. Write them down. You

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.

New-look Warriors prepare to open long-delayed men’s soccer season By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Westmont’s Carrasco scores 36 to earn first coaching win for Boucher By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESSS SENIOR WRITER

Abram Carrasco’s career night on Wednesday led to the first basketball victory of Landon Boucher’s Westmont College coaching career. Carrasco scored 36 points to lead the Warriors past Saint Katherine, 117-103, at Murchison Gym. The 117-point team total is the fifth-most in Westmont history. Boucher, who played for the Warriors during the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons, served as an assistant coach last year before taking over for longtime head coach John Moore. “It’s not really about me. It’s about our team,” Boucher said. “In all honesty, I’m more happy for our team to get a win.” Carrasco, a senior guard who earned NAIA All-America honors last year, made 13-of-18 shots including 2-of-4 from three-point range and 8-of-10 free throws. He also handed out eight assists and grabbed five rebounds. His previous best of 31 points came last year against William Jessup. But he made only 3-of-12 shots on Tuesday in Westmont’s first game in five weeks — an 86-81 loss to Saint Katherine. “I think he was disappointed in his effort yesterday and he was really locked in today, ready to go from the tip,” Boucher said. Carrasco’s 36 points were the most by a Westmont player since Boucher’s teammate, Preston Branson, netted 40 in December of 2010. Ajay Singh added 17 points for Westmont (1-2), Jared Brown scored 16, and Cade Roth contributed 11. The Warriors shot 64.4% overall (38-59), 60% from three (15-for-25), and 86.7% from the free-throw line (26-30). “I liked how we were passing the ball,” Boucher said. “We were really unselfish. Bram had eight assists and as a team we had 18 assists. “We were moving the ball, making smart decisions and finding the open man.” Saint Katherine (2-1) also shot well, making 47.4% from the field, 47.5% from three, and 90.5% from the foul line. The Firebirds actually took a 14-13 lead before Carrasco erupted with nine points during a 16-2 run which turned the deficit into a 2916 lead.

“I think from the sick feeling in our stomachs from yesterday, it was easy to get our engines going,” Boucher said. Westmont’s margin grew to 22 points, 49-27, after a pair of threes by Roth and one apiece by Noah Fernando and Brown. Carrasco reached 23 points on a three of his own with 2:47 still left in the first half. The Firebirds trimmed seven points off the Warriors’ lead, 54-39, with a run in the final 2:19 of the period. They resumed their comeback to start the second half, drawing as close as 58-47. But Singh’s three from the corner triggered a 25-6 spurt for Westmont that put the game away for good. Five different Warriors made threes in the outburst as they extended their lead to 83-53 with 11:42 still remaining in the game. Boucher said Westmont’s defense was actually a major factor in the run. “When we decide to play defense, it’s easier to get in rhythm offensively, especially for us,” he said. “Our team plays its best when we’re scoring, but we have to make sure we’re playing defense to get our offense going.” He wasn’t happy, however, with Saint Katherine’s late surge. Former Santa Barbara High star Johnnie Coleman entered the game for the first time in the second half and led a 64-point second half for the Firebirds by scoring 13 points on 5-for-6 shooting. “As nice as the win was, it kind of left a sour taste in our mouths because we let down,” Boucher said. “We acted like there were 30 seconds left when there were still five-anda-half minutes.” Westmont won’t play again until Feb. 9 when Bethesda visits Murchison Gym for a 4 p.m. game. “Everybody keeps saying how we have the same team back from last year, but it’s a new year and it’s an unusual year,” Boucher said. “It’s not the same team because we lost an allconference player in Justin Bessard. It’s a new coaching staff. “We’re just trying to figure out who we are as a team and how we play together as a team, offensively but more important defensively.” email: mpatton@newspress.com

Westmont College will spring forward to a new and different kind of year for men’s soccer, ending the five-month delay of its fall season by scrimmaging two opponents this week and opening official play next week. It presents a big challenge for Dave Wolf, who must integrate 11 new players onto his 25-man roster as he begins his 30th season as the Warriors’ coach. “This opportunity for a fresh start and a new beginning in the fall of 2020 obviously did not materialize in the way that any of us would have hoped back in March,” he said. “The stability you would want to offer a new group of players, we just haven’t been able to offer to them. “If you put our team into the context of a math formula, there is no doubt on paper, and as an equation, that it is a transitional year.” Westmont scheduled scrimmages this week at Biola and Loyola Marymount and an exhibition at UCLA for Wednesday at 6 p.m. The Warriors’ regular-season opener is set for Thorrington Field at noon on Feb. 6 against Providence Christian. Spectators will not be allowed because of COVID-19 protocol. Wolf, who has compiled a record of 341-162-54 during his 29 years at Westmont, is coming off a Golden State Athletic Conference championship season. Last year’s Warriors went 13-3-1 overall and 7-0-1 in league play. He does return some locally grown, offensive firepower in senior Tyler Young of Buena High and

junior Owen Bates from San Marcos, as well as junior Sam Tuscano. Young earned All-GSAC honors last year while leading the Warriors with nine goals and two assists. Tuscano added five goals and assisted two others while Bates contributed three goals and two assists. “Athletically, that is a lively group of players,” Wolf said. “They also have some interesting individual abilities.

blers who can create for themselves a little bit.” Junior Jack Worth, an NCAA Division 1 transfer from Liberty University, figures to play somewhere in the attacking half of the field. “He has a mature game and I like him as a player,” Wolf said. “It will be interesting to see what he can do for us.” Freshman Braeden Pryor and sophomore Micah Nelson have also impressed Wolf during workouts. He’s looking to seniors Nick Ruiz and Isaiah Bolton “to provide some stability and leadership” in the midfield. The graduation of Lucky Puengrod and Pancho Castro does have Wolf in search of an “attacking, creative player that will get us into the right parts of the field.” Senior Jona Romero and junior Memo Mendoza, a Santa Barbara High graduate, are two of the best

options, Wolf added. “Jona has all the attributes to do the role,” Wolf said. “He is a subtle, nuanced player. “Memo is coming back after a fairly long injury lay-off. He brings a lot of intensity, a lot of work ethic and a lot of ground covering.” Freshman Aldo Becerril, another local recruit from Dos Pueblos High, “is a gifted central midfielder” and one of several new players with the “opportunity to impact us right away.” The graduation of NAIA All-Americans Lalo Delgado and Tim Heiduk, the GSAC Player of the Year, has left some holes in Westmont’s defense. Sweden’s Måns Ingvarson, a sophomore transfer from Essex Community College, figures to replace Delgado at goalkeeper. Wolf also expects All-GSAC defender Zach Godeck to Please see SOCCER on A8

Continued from Page A1 low throughout the South Coast. Santa Barbara is two years removed from the Cave Fire and Montecito is about three years removed from the Thomas Fire, and weather officials say vegetation has been growing back adequately, which should prevent a mudslide. “At the Thomas Fire burn areas, we’re not concerned at all about mudflows,� Mr. Sirard said. “It’s been a long enough time with enough growth that we don’t expect any problems.� During the day today, heavy rains could lead to some flash flooding, Mr. Sirard said, and the weather service is closely monitoring debris flow, though they expect it to be mild. On Wednesday, the city of Santa Barbara saw less than one inch of rainfall, Goleta recorded about 1.5 inches rainfall and Montecito saw just over half an inch. Greater rain totals were recorded in the foothills and in the Santa Ynez Valley. The Alisal Reservoir in Santa Ynez recorded 2.5 inches

The highest rainfall total in Santa Barbara County Wednesday was recorded at Rancho San Julian with a total of nearly 3.5 inches of rain, according to public works officials. As of 6 p.m. Wednesday, other notable 24-hour rain totals included: Tecelote Canyon, 2.84 inches; Lompoc City Hall, 2.74 inches; Refugio Pass, 2.44 inches; Lake Cachuma, 2.22 inches; Gaviota Coast, 2.07 inches; Gibraltar Reservoir, 1.86 inches; Buellton Fire Station, 1.65 inches; UCSB, 1.20 inches; Los Alamos Fire Station, 1.10 inches; Santa Barbara City College, 0.93 inches; and Los Olivos, 0.83 inches. As a result of the storm, Santa Barbara County Public Works Department closed Foothill Road in Cuyama from Kirschenmann Road to State Route 33 until around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday. The road often experiences flooding during storms, so the department decided it was safest to close, according to Lael Wageneck, spokesman for the county Public Works Department.

Local organizations collaborate to celebrate Black History Month By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

Black History Month officially begins Monday, and to celebrate, 13 local organizations are hosting a variety of virtual events beginning tonight through March 4. This year, all events are being held virtually to stay within COVID-19 safety regulations. A full schedule of nearly 30 virtual events was created through collaboration from various local organizations, including Santa Barbara Young Black Professionals, Juneteenth Santa Barbara and Gateway Educational Services, among others. Throughout the month, the community events include roundtable discussions, yoga instruction, cooking classes, paint nights and poetry readings. “Black History Month is a time of recognition, reflection, learning and appreciation,� Lawanda Lyons Pruitt, president of the NAACP Santa Maria-Lompoc, said in a statement. “A time for all Americans to acknowledge the rich contributions and sacrifices made to our country by Black people. History informs us that our contributions and sacrifice are often not acknowledged in our past, including in our history

The goal is 15,000 jobs paying annual salaries of at least

YBARRA, Joaquin Borrayo

Joaquin Borrayo Ybarra was born on April 6, 1930, in San Nicolas de Ibarra, Jalisco, Mexico, a small pueblo just outside of Guadalajara. Joaquin was the third of four children born to his parents, Dionisio Ibarra and Maria del Carmen Borrayo. Joaquin passed away this past December 1, 2020 at age 90.

2020, six military locations were selected as prospective headquarters, though Vandenberg was excluded from the list. Following the announcement, Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, said he was “disappointed and surprised� that Vandenberg was removed from the list of finalists. “In fact, given our state’s leadership in aerospace engineering and innovation, I’m alarmed that there is not a single California base in the final six contenders,� Rep. Carbajal said at the time. “I’m working with federal and local partners to understand the criteria this decision was based on, and whether it was an objective process or politically motivated.

Educational Services, said in a statement. “The celebration of diversity within our families will secure our future.� To kick off the month of events, a follow-up conversation to UCSB’s Art and Lecture series “Race to Justice� will feature Coffee With a Black Guy Host Isabel Wilkerson at 7 p.m. tonight. Registration for the event is available at cwabg.org. A full schedule of events for Black History Month is available at hjsb.org/events. After a series of tragedies in 2020 shed light on racial justice issues in America, event organizers are hopeful this event will highlight the ongoing contributions of black Americans and the work that is left to be done to reach equality. “We as black folks, as contributors to American society, have done so much and we just want to show that we are here as a community providing services, opportunities, events and joy when it’s needed,� Jordan Killebrew, co-leader of Healing Justice Santa Barbara told the NewsPress. “What really should stand out is the work in diversity and conclusion is highly important and always ongoing.� email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

“If this is simply another attempt by the Trump Administration to bully California, that is unacceptable and I will encourage the incoming Administration to reconsider,� he said. “This isn’t over, and I will continue to make the case that there is no better place than Vandenberg to serve as home to U.S. Space Command.� The U.S. Space Command will remain at its provisional headquarters at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado until the new facilities are built in what will likely take up to six years. Approximately 1,400 military and civilian personnel will work at the future headquarters. email: gmccormick@newspress.com
