Indoor worship resumes Santa Inés Mission parishioners meet indoors for first time in months

By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

The voices of parishioners reverberated off the walls of the Santa Inés Mission Wednesday morning during the church’s first indoor mass in nearly seven months. About 30 masked congregants gathered in the Solvang mission’s 200-year-old sanctuary, offering prayers and taking communion. The long wooden pews were sectioned off with tape, directing parishioners to sit in every other row with a limit of two families or individuals per row. Father Bobby Barbato, pastor of the Santa Inés Mission, greeted congregants as they entered the

sanctuary while Father James Johnson, the associate pastor, read from the Bible and led prayers during the mass. “To look out at the church and just see people there, it was a great feeling,” Father Barbato told the News-Press. Throughout 2020, the church held outdoor worship services on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays in compliance with orders from Gov. Gavin Newsom that prohibited parishioners from meeting indoors. These restrictions were recently overturned in a Feb. 5 U.S. Supreme Court decision, which declared Gov. Newsom’s restrictions violated the Constitution’s protections for the

free practice of religion. The 6-3 ruling from the high court allows California churches to return to indoor gatherings at a limited capacity of 25%. Prior to Wednesday, parishioners met outdoors in the Santa Inés Mission’s garden for morning services. As the winter ushered in cooler temperatures, Father Barbato said the “devoted group” of Wednesday morning congregants bore the cold for the sake of their worship. “It was miserable at times because of the cold,” Bridgitte Lorenz, a 44-year member of the parish, told the News-Press. “It was beautiful in the garden. We have a beautiful garden, but it was cold.”

On Wednesday, it was cold outside, but inside, there was warmth, literally and figuratively. During the pandemic, Rick and Ninni Lemus, of Buellton, faithfully attended Wednesday morning mass in the garden but said that returning indoors felt like “coming home.” “We’re grateful that we were able to at least (meet outdoors), but we missed being inside and the ambiance,” Mr. Lemus told the News-Press. “There’s a special warmth and serenity in the house of God that you don’t always feel in the clamor of outside.” Completing the sacraments proved to be a challenge during the pandemic for many Please see worship on A3

Santa Maria district considers new grading strategy School board discusses grade accommodations during pandemic By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Maria Joint Union High School District is considering three revisions to its grading policies to assist students during distance learning. The district’s board discussed the change Tuesday evening and will take action in an upcoming board meeting. If approved, the proposed changes would only apply to the spring 2021 semester. The first revision suggested by the district is a competencybased grading system for yearlong classes. If students earn a better grade in the second semester, the grade will also apply to the fall semester. Administrators asked teacher groups what they thought. Not all teachers were in favor of the policy, but there was a “level of support,” John Davis, assistant superintendent of curriculum, said in his presentation to the board. Allan Hancock College is currently reviewing whether it would accept the new grades for dual-credit courses. “I think the sticking point

becomes if there is a teacher does not believe that the fall grade should be changed and a policy mandates that they be changed, then we’re looking at some gray area with the ed code because the ed code does provide the support for the teacher to be the one who determines the actual grade,” Mr. Davis told the board. For short, elective courses, the district suggested continuing a “no mark” and “incomplete” grading system currently utilized by some of the district’s teachers. It would save students’ GPAs from the burden of a low grade. “A ‘no’ mark could potentially really help that student by allowing them to shift their focus to the core academic classes that they know they need and not necessarily have to worry about that particular elective class,” Mr. Davis said. Last semester, several hundred incompletes were given, he said. The third alteration is lowering the graduation requirements on a case-bycase basis for students at risk of Please see grading on A2

What should be expected once elementary schools reopen? In an effort to provide information to district parents and families, the Santa Barbara Unified School District held informational meetings for elementary school families Wednesday night. Administrators reviewed the COVID-19 safety plan for elementary schools as the district prepares to reopen as early as Feb. 26. This week, parents will receive a message on Parent Square, the district’s parent messaging system, to confirm their choice for in-person or distance learning. Parents were asked about this in the fall, but are able to change their minds this week. Next week, families will receive class schedules. Some students may have a new teacher or a class with multiple grade levels, depending upon families’ decisions. “Our priority is to make the least amount of changes possible based on the results of

your choices,” Ana Escobedo, assistant superintendent of elementary education, said. Students will not be on campus five days a week but will instead have a hybrid plan, allowing two days on site. In the fall, administrators decided that a traditional schedule was not attainable under health and safety protocols, such as social distancing. Principals will provide school-specific guidelines to parents and hold information sessions. Each school will have a checkin and screening station that students must go through prior to entry. Students should verify they don’t have any COVID19 symptoms on the iPass application on their school iPads. The app is also available for Apple and Android phones. Classes will have drop-off and pick-up schedules that parents must follow to avoid crowding and ensure a smooth screening process. Buses will operate with windows open and students seated every other seat. Siblings will share a seat.

SANTA BARBARA — A utility van crashed into a power pole on Wednesday, leading to a widespread power outage in the Santa Barbara area, police said. The crash was reported around 4:10 p.m. in the 600 block of Meigs Road. As police and fire personnel arrived on scene, the power line was charged and the vehicle was electrified. The driver, who was the lone occupant, was rescued by three Good Samaritans, who reported the driver was injured after being shocked, said Anthony Wagner, spokesman for the Santa

Barbara Police Department. The driver was treated at the scene and no other injuries were reported. The pole sustained significant damage and appeared that it was “going to fall over,� Mr. Wagner said. Portions of Meigs Road were shut down for several hours after the crash, the cause of which is under investigation. Officials with Southern California Edison responded to the scene and shut down power to nearby customers. According to the SCE outage map, more than 2,500 customers were without power for a time on Wednesday. — Mitchell White

Students with medical conditions that prohibit them from wearing a mask must have physician verification. They will wear a face shield instead. There will be mobile handwashing stations around campus and hand-sanitizer dispensers in classrooms. Students must wash or sanitize their hands throughout the school day, including before entering the classroom, before and after

in an unprecedented time, and wide-ranging F grades will have negative effects on a student’s ability to advance in their lives through scholarships and college,� he said. A handful of Future Leaders of America students also commented with their perspectives. “Some teachers are really inconsiderate of students’ situations and will assign five assignments due at the same day at the same time. I know they’ll have some time given in class, but what about the kids who have to care for siblings or parents because they are the only person old enough to be trusted around a stove? They have to balance their home life with what the teacher is teaching at the moment,� Jessica Rodriguez, Pioneer Valley High School student and Future Leaders of America member, said. The next regular meeting of the board is March 9, but the superintendent may call a special meeting to amend the semester’s grading strategy prior to that date.

In the early stages of the pandemic, parishioners gathered in the church parking lot, listening to a broadcast of church services over the radio and receiving communion through their car

windows. Last summer, the church was permitted to meet indoors again, but that only lasted briefly as increased case numbers shut down indoor services once again. “For me, it was very sad that we could not come to church and worship,” Mrs. Lemus said. “That we could not be here (inside). I love to go and turn the light on over the (figure of the) blessed mother and kneel and say my three daily Hail Marys, which I’ve done since I was 2 years old, and not being able to do that (was

sad).” The church plans to host outdoor masses this Saturday and Sunday and will transition to indoor services the following week. For members who feel more comfortable attending the service from their vehicles, the church will continue to offer broadcasts and online streaming. “I feel great because I feel that we are following all the protocols,” Father Barbato said. “We are able to be together, and I think that physical togetherness is very

important too. (We’re) always trying to balance because we obviously want to help people’s health and follow the protocols.” Prior to the pandemic, the church lacked the technology to broadcast virtual services and had to adapt quickly, Father Barbato said. Since then, members of the church donated equipment to allow the church to broadcast weekly masses from their Facebook page. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

Sandy Pu’a, the offensive line coach who helped mold Allan Hancock College’s football program into a rushing juggernaut, died Friday morning. Pu’a was an all-conference lineman for the Bulldogs during the 1997 and 1998 seasons before transferring to Southwestern Oklahoma State. He also played for two seasons in the Arena Football League. He returned to Hancock as an assistant coach in 2003. Thenhead coach Kris Dutra described him as “part of the fabric of the program.” His blocking schemes and leadership helped Hancock develop into one of the top running teams in California community college football. “The word that comes to mind is consistent,” said current head coach Seth Damron, who worked with Pu’a as the team’s offensive coordinator. “You always knew what you were going to get from him. “He was a man of few words but what he said meant a lot … and if you needed advice you would get wisdom with just a few words. We’re all going to miss him.” Damron noted that Pu’a, a native of American Samoa, made a big impact on many young men.

“He was a coach for 17 years and was a consistent figure that pushed guys and made them work hard through every rep and drill, and that carries over to real life,” he said. “All those kids that came through, they were much better off when they left than when they got here.” Four of his linemen from Hancock’s league championship team of 2017 received football scholarships to four-year universities. “For me, the start of a football season will never be the same as the sound of his commands in working with the linemen always welcomed a new year,” Hancock athletic director Kim Ensign said. “He will be sorely missed.” Pu’a is survived by his wife, Candy, and four children: sons Ely-Jah, Elyaz, Keyshawn, and daughter Key-annah. His sons all played football for Nipomo High School while his daughter is currently a standout pitcher for the school’s softball program. An account at gofundme.com has been established to help support the Pu’a family. Services will be held at the Hancock College football field on Feb. 20, with viewing at 10 a.m. and the funeral service at 11 a.m. A celebration of life with food and refreshments will follow at Nipomo Regional Park. email: mpatton@newspress.com

Carpinteria financial report shows net increase By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Carpinteria City Council this week received and filed its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2020. Independent auditors from Moss, Levy & Hartzheim LLP issued an unmodified “clean” opinion of the report’s financial statements and noted that the city’s financial position conforms with generally accepted accounting principles. The council discussed the report at its meeting Monday. According to the report’s highlights, Carpinteria’s net position was $36.6 million on June 30. Revenue from all governmental activities (which was $22 million) increased by $5.6 million from 2019. Program revenues increased by $574,000,

and general revenue increased by $5 million. Expenses for all governmental activities of $15.1 million increased by $826,000. The city’s governmental funds reported a combined ending fund balance of $17.1 million, an increase of $2.2 million compared to last fiscal year. The ending balance is primarily identified as $30,000 nonspendable, $10.5 million restricted, $6.1 million committed and $513,000 unassigned. The unrestricted fund balance in the general fund totaled $6.6 million available for ongoing operations. When adjusted for the committed component of fund balance, the amount available for ongoing operations at the city’s discretion is reduced to $544,000. Total expenses funded by tax revenues, investment income, grants and contributions and

other general revenues totaled $10.5 million. Total revenues for fiscal year 2020-21 are projected to decrease by about 25.6%, totaling $16.3 million, due to the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on business operations that generate transient occupancy and sales tax revenues. The city predicts a decrease of about 6.8% in property tax revenue, Carpinteria’s largest revenue source, and a decrease of 11.7% of sales tax at $4.2 million. “In summary, the city’s financial position remains in good condition, and the city reaffirms its commitment to sound and conservative financial practices to ensure the city’s fiscal sustainability,” the report reads.

LaunchPoint exceeds funding goal By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

LaunchPoint, a Goleta aerospace start-up, announced Wednesday that it surpassed its original seed funding goal, which gives the firm the ability to move forward on its innovative projects and expand its staff. The startup launched in June 2020 as a spinoff of the former design incubator LaunchPoint Technologies. The firm develops hybrid-electric generators and technology to power cargo drones and small air taxis, which is largely regarded as the future of air transportation. Since its inception, LaunchPoint has signed multiple contracts with aerospace and automotive firms all over the world and secured a $1 million-plus grant from the U.S. Department of Defense to develop technology for hybrid-electric flight and flying cars. Local investors in the Santa Barbara area are helping to fund the company’s future projects, and the firm’s leaders said they are looking forward to a strong year with their customers in 2021. “The success of our seed funding round confirms what we see every day, that there’s significant interest in our technology and the advanced air-mobility propulsion

Supervisors approve rental assistance The Santa Barbara County Supervisors on Tuesday voted to approve $13.3 million in rent and utility assistance. The funds are from the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, which included $25 billion in federal emergency rental assistance. From that, the county received an allocation of $13,373,876. The funds will provide direct assistance to renter households in the form of rent, rental arrears, utilities and utility arrears to eligible residents countywide who have experienced a loss of income due to the COVID19 pandemic, according to a news release. The program will provide a three-month rental subsidy up to $6,000 for qualifying households currently living in rental units that cannot pay rent because of a

loss or reduction of income due to COVID-19. Qualifying households are eligible to thereafter re-apply for an additional three months of rent assistance up to a total of 15 months. Rent payments will be made directly to landlords, which must be applied to any arrears for back-rent before any current or future rent. Applicants will also be eligible for utility payment assistance. Utility payments will be made directly to utility providers, officials said. The program will be available to all county residents at or below 80% of the Area Median Income, though qualifying individuals at or below 50% AMI will be prioritized. “These are unforeseen circumstances where for the sake of public health, government restrictions have changed

residents’ lives,� Board Chair and 4th District Supervisor Bob Nelson said in a statement. “Some of those changes have resulted in lost jobs and therefore the inability to afford rent, food, medicine or other necessary expenses. With this program, many of these individuals can now meet these basic needs.� The county has contracted with the United Way of Santa Barbara to administer the program application process, which will begin on Monday. The program will be available until all funds are expended, or by Dec. 30, whichever is first. Additional information will be available as early as next week at www.unitedwaysb.org/covid19financial-assistance. — Mitchell White

U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal this week led his first Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Subcommittee hearing as chairman, and he discussed the pandemic’s impact on the American maritime sector. He was elected chairman of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee’s subcommittee Jan. 26. In his opening remarks Tuesday morning, Rep. Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, said the subcommittee has a “long history of bipartisan cooperation� and that he looks forward to conducting oversight and passing on important legislation supporting the maritime industry and the Coast Guard. “Commercial shipping carries more than 95% by volume of U.S. overseas trade. And yet, the presence of the U.S. flag fleet operating in international trade is diminishing,� he said. “In the past 35 years, we’ve seen the U.S. flag fleet drop from over 850 vessels to merely 85. The U.S. merchant marine — which provides a living wage to its American mariners, pays taxes in America and complies with American regulations — simply cannot compete with foreign fleets that pay little to no taxes, comply with the bare minimum regulations and pay substandard wages.� He pointed out that maritime and seafaring is an “essential way of life� in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, along with the portions of Ventura County in his district, but in the wake of the pandemic, much of the industry had to shut down business and furlough employees. Rep. Carbajal said that of the companies operating, most have experienced reductions in revenue by as much as 90% and laid off or furloughed as much as 80% of their employees. “And while passenger vessels and ferries are one of

support for the Jones Act, saying that the industry needs “strong federal support in order to weather this storm.� To lift up the maritime industry, he suggested funding the Maritime Transportation System Emergency Relief program. In the hearing, he and the chair of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Peter DeFazio, D-Oregon, heard from witnesses on the current state of the maritime industry. “My hope is that this hearing will help inform the committee of the ongoing difficulties facing the maritime industry and identify areas of support that will allow the industry to emerge stronger than when the pandemic began,� Rep. Carbajal said. “We must ensure the marine transportation system continues to operate seamlessly and we must protect these essential, frontline workers.� Last year, after the Conception Boat fire off the Santa Barbara coast that took 34 lives, Rep. Carbajal requested a hearing of the maritime subcommittee to question the National Transportation Safety Board about safety measures for small passenger boats. He then introduced and passed the Small Passenger Vessel Safety Act, which enacted safety reforms to the vessels in order to prevent future tragedies. The act was signed into law on Jan. 1.

Sugar snap peas I currently have a nice crop of this seasonal favorite growing in my home garden, with my kids heading out to harvest these sweet crunchy peas any change they get. Possessing the crisp edible pod of the snow pea, and the sweet plump inner pea of the English pea, this late winter and early spring favorite can currently be found at all weekly Santa Barbara certified farmers’ markets from several local growers. This week I decided to prepare a raw sugar snap pea salad, the Fix of the Week on B2. My favorite cooked preparation is to sauté them in olive oil along with mushrooms and sliced shallots. Certified organic peas are available. The price ranges from $4 to $6 per pound.

Spring garlic You’re right; it isn’t spring yet, but there are several “spring” crops that are getting an early start this year. One such crop is this aromatic and flavorful spring garlic. Spring garlic is culinarily treated as you would green onions. It is currently available from several local growers at the weekly Saturday Santa Barbara, Sunday Camino Real, Tuesday Santa Barbara and Friday Montecito farmers’ markets. The price averages $2 per bunch.

Meyer lemons I was quite pleased to encounter some nice Meyer lemons this past weekend at the Saturday Santa Barbara farmers’ market. Less acidic and thus slightly sweeter than the more standard lemon varieties, this lemon-orange hybrid cross has a pleasing dynamic flavor underneath its bright yellow shiny peel. Meyer lemons can currently be found at the weekly Saturday Santa Barbara, Sunday Camino Real, Tuesday Santa Barbara, Wednesday Solvang and Thursday Carpinteria farmers’ markets. The price averages about $2.50 per pound.

During the pandemic, Conner Cherland has offered free at-home concerts for Santa Barbara residents.

Just in time for Valentine’s Day SB singer Conner Cherland to release ‘This is How I’ll Love You’

Conner Cherland is a Santa Barbara musician whose new song, “This is How I’ll Love You,” will be released this Friday.

By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

C

onner Cherland’s entrance to the local music scene began humbly. Like so many young artists, Mr. Cherland worked a fulltime job by day while pursuing his passion at night. A UCSB graduate, Mr. Cherland worked at a tech company in Goleta after finishing his degree, but his true passion was music. “I would work 9 to 5, go home and change, and then I would switch over to whatever bar or winery I was playing at,” Mr. Cherland told the News-Press. After years of hustling to balance a full-time job and music gigs. Mr. Cherland decided to quit his day job in 2016 and pursue his music career full time. Since then, he has written hundreds of songs, culminating in four album releases and a fifth album scheduled to debut in June. Listeners can get their first taste of the album, “Love Songs by Conner Cherland,” this Friday with the release of the song “This is How I’ll Love You.” The single

is coming out a couple days before Valentine’s Day. The acoustic ballad gives a raw look into Mr. Cherland’s journey of becoming a loving partner for his wife of four years, Layne, by learning to provide for her needs. “This is the first real song I wrote about my actual relationship with my wife,” Mr. Cherland said. “Everything before that was conjecture about what love would be like … This was my first feet-onthe-ground song.” This album taps into unchartered waters for Mr. Cherland, who refrained from writing about love in the release of his first four albums. With this album, the singer wanted to present songs about a more “practical and nuanced” everyday kind of love, feeling that too many love songs today present unrealistic romantic ideals. “I’m not a big fan of songs that are like ‘I’ll catch a grenade for you’ … There’s just a lack of practicality to so many love songs, and this (album) has a lot of practical feeling to it,” Mr. Cherland said. The creative process of songwriting looks different for each artist.

For Mr. Cherland, the best approach was taking a quantitative approach to songwriting, where he would challenge himself to write 40 songs in six months. Drawing inspiration for this technique from Grammy-winning artist Ed Sheeran, who writes about 40 songs for each album he produces, Mr. Cherland completed this challenge for his first album, “Wanting Man,” in 2016. Since then, he has used this technique to produce a number of other albums, saying that out of each batch of 40 songs, there are usually six or seven songs he is proud to put on the album. “If you ask a songwriter what it takes to write good songs, they’ll tell you it takes a lot of bad songs,” Mr. Cherland said. Since his start in the music industry, Mr. Cherland has relied on local gigs at restaurants and bars to fuel his career. But as the pandemic shut down gatherings, he was forced to find creative ways to engage his audience. During the course of the pandemic, he took to Instagram (@connercherland) to promote free, social distanced concerts held at his followers’ homes and in

the mountains. (The singer’s next mountain concert is scheduled for Feb. 20. Since the summer, the singer has held free concerts on a regular basis for residents in the Santa Barbara area. People can send messages directly to Mr. Cherland on Instagram and book him for a free at-home concert. The singer brings all of his own equipment and creates a makeshift stage, allowing enough space for neighbors to spread out their chairs and enjoy the show. “It’s meaningful for me because I love performing, and it’s meaningful for others because they love seeing their neighbors.” email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

FYI Conner Cherland’s new song “This is How I’ll Love You” will start streaming Friday on all major platforms, including Apple Music and Spotify. For more information, message Mr. Cherland on Instagram @ connercherland or email him at itsconnercherland@gmail.com.

Thao Carey, a nurse at Lompoc Valley Medical Center, has received The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses.

Thao Carey, a registered nurse at Lompoc Valley Medical Center, has been recognized with The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses. The prestigious international award is part of The DAISY Foundation’s mission to recognize compassionate nursing care. The foundation was established in the memory of J. Patrick Barnes by members of his family and honors nurses for making a profound difference in the lives of their patients and their patients’ families. Mr. Barnes died in 1999 at age 33 from complications caused by Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura, an auto-immune disease. DAISY stands for Diseases Attacking the Immune System. The foundation was inspired by the care that Mr. Barnes and his family received from nurses during his illness. Nurses are nominated for The DAISY Award by patients, families and colleagues. Ms. Carey was chosen as the recipient of the inaugural LVMC DAISY Award by a committee of LVMC, Comprehensive Care Center and Lompoc Health

clinical and non-clinical staff after an evaluation of all submissions. She received numerous nominations. In addition to The DAISY Award, she received a pin and a sculpture called A Healer’s Touch, hand-carved by artists of the Shona Tribe in Zimbabwe. “Thao is an amazing nurse,” Senior Nursing Director Karen Kelly said in a news release. “She not only provides excellent care for her patients and their families, she also cares for her fellow nurses by always being there when they need a helping hand. She is the ultimate team player.” Two other LVMC nurses received certificates for outstanding nominations. Longtime Emergency Department registered nurse Bill Kelly was honored by a coworker for his efforts to calm a distressed and intubated patient who became combative during a fluoroscopy exam. Labor and Delivery registered nurse Marie Densmore was honored by a patient who was struggling with addiction and appreciated the care. For more about The DAISY Award, go to daisyfoundation.org.

ue to the unusually warm winter we experienced, the first harvest of sugar snap peas arrived uncharacteristically early this year. I saw the first pop up in early January, and now, there are peas available from several local growers at all weekly farmers markets. That is great news for our local pea connoisseurs who take advantage of this favorite any chance they get. Developed from crossing the English pea with the snow pea, a sugar snap pea tends to offer the best qualities of both rolled into one. Snow peas are sought for the culinary convenience of a crisp edible pod. But the peas inside the snow pea pod are quite small, and they’re often indistinguishable from the texture and flavor of the pod itself. The English pea, however, is just the opposite. The pea’s pod can be quite fibrous and is usually composted rather than eaten. The peas inside the English pea, however, are large and sweet, making them the main highlight of this variety. Put the two kinds of peas together, and you have a match made in heaven. With edible pods and large sweet peas, those sugar snap peas sure are delicious. Sugar snap peas are wonderful both raw and cooked.I eat them as a snack all the time, just as they come, straight out the refrigerator. When cooking my sugar snap peas, I usually discard the very tips at both the top and base of the pea. Then they are sautéed at high heat in a little olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper. They’re simple and delicious. They are also great in a mixed vegetable stir fry, added to steamed or fried rice, or chopped raw over a mixed green salad. This week, I decided to prepare a sugar snap pea salad with a simple Asian style

dressing. Combined with some super sweet local carrots, Persian cucumbers, fresh herbs and green onions, this salad makes for a great side dish or very healthy main dish.

Sam Edelman is general manager of the Santa Barbara Certified Farmers Market Association and host of “Farm to Table,” which airs live 9 a.m. Thursdays on KZSB AM 1290. Raw Sugar Snap Pea Salad 2 pounds sugar snap peas, strings removed, tips at base and top discarded, sliced into angled rounds 4 cups Napa cabbage, chopped 2 carrots, peeled and grated 2 green onions, chopped into small rounds at an angle 2 spring garlic, cut into small rounds (with small heads that resemble green onions) One-half cup cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped 6 large mint leaves, finely chopped One-quarter cup roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped Optional, 1 cup cooked and chopped chicken Toss all ingredients together, except for the peanuts. Toss with about 2 tablespoons of the dressing. Season with salt and pepper as needed to taste. Add additional dressing to taste. Top with peanuts and add chicken if desired. Yield: Serves 2. For the dressing: One-quarter cup rice vinegar 2 tablespoons sesame oil 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated 1 tablespoon soy sauce 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce Juice from 1 lime Whisk together all dressing ingredients at room temperature. Let sit for 10 minutes and then mix well before serving. Prepares about one-half cup dressing.

Vote planned on avocado commission Every five years the California Department of Food and Agriculture holds a statemandated vote by growers on whether to continue the California Avocado Commission. “The referendum process is a vital component of the law that established the California Avocado Commission,” Rob Grether, chairman of the commission’s board of directors, said in a statement. Ballots will be mailed to eligible California avocado commercial producers on Feb. 16, and must be postmarked and returned to the state agriculture department by March 17. Eligible commercial producers who do not receive a ballot should contact the department’s marketing staff at 916-900-5018. Results are expected to be

announced by March 31. Commission President Tom Bellamore noted the commission exists to support avocado commission and is governed by a board made up of growers’ peers “to ensure good stewardship of grower funds.” About 70% of the commission’s current budget goes toward marketing, which includes developing strategic, targeted programs with retailers and food service operators. Other key activities include advocating for California avocado growers on issues such as water, trade and export; supporting production research; and promoting grower education.

don’t initiate things too quickly. LIBRA — Opportunities to do well-paying creative work could come to your attention today, Libra, perhaps online. You will probably like it, as it may give you freedom. Whether you actually want to try it or not depends on your situation. You might want to get some chores done around the house today in order to leave free time tomorrow for whatever you want to do. Something exciting might happen. SCORPIO — Scorpio, you probably feel especially sexy and passionate now. You may enjoy browsing through catalogues of rich fabrics or furniture. Erotic novels could also appeal to you. If you’re currently involved, you may want to spend the evening alone with your partner. If you aren’t, don’t be surprised if you attract someone new. Either way, you will draw admiring glances from strangers. SAGITTARIUS — Legal matters should definitely work in your favor today, particularly any involving property. You’re likely to feel positive about life, Sagittarius, and your home life should be especially gratifying. Sex and romance also could be on your mind. If you can get together with a lover, you will probably grow quite a bit closer. Artistic projects, particularly regarding the home, should also go well. CAPRICORN — A call from a romantic partner could lead to an intimate get-together, Capricorn. It’s likely to be highly gratifying emotionally and bring you closer together. Passionate poetry and sexy novels could especially appeal to you right now. If you’re into writing, you could channel your rush of sensuality into producing results that are so well thought out that they surprise even you. Get started! AQUARIUS — Creative projects that you may have been working on for a while could prove especially ego boosting, Aquarius. You’re doing a great job. A change of employment and increase in income may be in the works. If you don’t feel passionate about what you’re doing, expect the chance to become involved in an enterprise that you do feel strongly about. New ideas and opportunities could change your life. PISCES — You’re an appealing person, Pisces, but today you could project more magnetism than ever. Don’t be surprised if you draw admiring glances from strangers you pass in the street. Romance should be going very well for you. A hot date with a current or potential love partner could take place tonight. You might also be feeling especially artistic and inspired. Consider this a gift and use it.

HOROSCOPE

ARIES — Today you may contemplate changes in your home. They could be physical, like redecorating, refurnishing, or remodeling. Or someone could move in or out. Whatever the change, it’s likely to be fortunate. If you’re thinking of such a change, you can proceed confidently. You should be feeling especially inspired now, so be creative and manifest whatever has been on your mind for some time. TAURUS — If you aren’t currently romantically involved, Taurus, today you might suddenly see an old friend or neighbor in a new light. This can be thrilling, but it might not be a good idea to do anything about it just yet. You’re feeling especially sensual today, and therefore any attraction you feel could pass by tomorrow. If you’re presently involved, schedule a romantic evening with your partner. GEMINI — Your financial situation could undergo some positive upheaval now, probably as the result of a career advance. This process is likely to continue today, Gemini, as social events put you in touch with valuable contacts. It might be a good idea to listen to others today and not try to voice ideas of your own or make any decisions. Too much input could lead to mental overload and a lack of focus. CANCER — A powerful desire for change could have you thinking of traveling, Cancer, or perhaps relocating to a distant state or foreign country. Friends who live far away could be trying to convince you to join them. This isn’t a minor decision. It requires careful thought. You might be tempted to act impulsively, but wait for a while. In a few days, you will know if the change is right for you. LEO — Some vivid and interesting dreams could bring a lot of repressed memories up and force you to confront them. This could be a bit disconcerting, Leo, but still positive. Psychological obstacles to financial success and romantic happiness could be cleared away, which could change your life. It’s vital that you write down your dreams. You won’t want to miss out on this. VIRGO — A transformation in your circle of friends could occur today and change your life, Virgo. Someone exciting could move in nearby, and you could hit it off. Expect stimulating conversations and fascinating new information. If you aren’t currently involved, this person could be a potential +*#!2 +1$)"$ romance. At least you will make a new friend. Take a close look and

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.

Hall of Famer Bob Van Wagner leaves legacy of achievement

Westmont men’s soccer nipped 2-1 in a battle of the Wolfs

By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Goals at the end of the first half and at the start of the second were enough for Point Loma to spoil Westmont College’s men’s soccer opener, 2-1, at Thorrington Field on Wednesday. The Sea Lions (2-0), coached by the brother of Westmont coach Dave Wolf, took a 2-0 lead before the Warriors finally found the net in the 57th minute. “It’s always fun to play against him,� Point Loma’s Phil Wolf said. “There are certain aspects that I like when we play him, and certain aspects I don’t like when we play. “He always has a good, tough team, and he is a good coach, but yeah it’s always nice getting a win.� Both teams took nine shots, but the Sea Lions had a 5-3 edge in on-goal attempts. “Today was a tough, hard, scrappy, game but that’s what it’s like on the road sometimes,� Phil Wolf said. “I’m proud of our guys. They fought hard and came away with a win.� Westmont took six shots — two on goal — and had two corners during the first half. But the match turned when Point Loma’s Tim Siegfried was fouled in the box with just 50 seconds left before halftime. He made the penalty kick to send the Sea Lions into the locker room with the lead. Siegfried assisted Hunter Loomis for Point Loma’s second goal during the sixth minute of the second half. Samuel Tuscano scored for the Warriors seven minutes later to trim their deficit to 2-1, but it was their last shot on goal. Westmont will return to action on Saturday at 4 p.m. at Fresno Pacific.

KENNETH SONG/NEWS-PRESS

Westmont’s Samuel Tuscano, center, goes for the ball in between Point Loma’s Tim Siegfried, left, and Corey Lundeen before scoring the lone goal for the Warriors in their 2-1 loss on Wednesday.

WOMEN’S SOCCER POINT LOMA 1, WESTMONT 0 The Warriors remained scoreless on the season while losing their second-straight road match, 1-0. The Sea Lions (2-0), an NCAA Division 2 power coached by former Westmont All-American Kristi Kiely, out-shot the Warriors 14-6 and 7-4 with their attempts on goal. The Warriors (0-2) put just one shot on frame in the second half and were out-shot 12-2 in the last 50 minutes. “I thought they got the better of us in the first half,� Kiely said. “I thought they dominated a lot of the first half.

“I give a lot of credit to our girls for working through it. I thought we got better today, and we got tested today.� Point Loma scored the match’s lone goal during the second minute of the second half. Naomi Ellis received a pass from Jazmin Valencia on the sideline, took it to the endline, and sent a cross to the far side of the box. Ashlee Watkins punched it in for the goal. Watkins nearly scored again in the 72nd minute after a corner kick by Mara Sovde, but goalkeeper Kailey Meyer kept it out of the net with a dazzling save. She had three saves in the second half while Gabi Haw recorded two in the first half. Westmont’s shots on goal came from Grace Hotaling, Isabelle

Berthoud, Bri Johnson and Grace Duckens. But Point Loma, which has gone 32-7-3 during Kiely’s twoplus seasons as coach, extended its shutout streak at the PLNU Soccer Field to 505 minutes. “It’s such a treat to get to play Westmont,� said Kiely, a 2005 graduate of Westmont who is assisted by former Warrior Tanner Wolf. “They’re always a tough opponent, and today was no different.� The Warriors will play their third-straight road match to start the season on Wednesday when they travel to Biola for a 4 p.m. contest.

Volleyball icon James Robert “Bob� Van Wagner, who chronicled the sport’s evolution on the beach through his photography, died at his Santa Barbara home last month at age 93. Van Wagner, a regular at the volleyball courts of East Beach, also served the sport as an accredited United States Volleyball Association referee and umpire, and as a tournament director. He was inducted into the California Beach Volleyball Association Hall of Fame with fellow Santa Barbaran Todd Rogers and Jennifer Kessy in November 2019. Although Van Wagner was too ill to attend, Rogers paid him tribute during the ceremony. “Bob photographed me when I played my first beach volleyball tournament at 14, and he was there when I played my final beach volleyball tournament in 2016,� Rogers said. Van Wagner was well known in volleyball circles for catch phrases which included, “I’ve got winners!,� “Suit up, babe!� and “It’s point time!� He received a lifetime achievement award at the U.S. Open of Beach Volleyball in

September of 2008. Van Wagner, who died Jan. 6, was born in Santa Monica on July 29, 1927. He joined the U.S. Navy during World War II at age 17 and served in the Western Pacific aboard the aircraft carrier USS Boxer. He attended Santa Monica College after his honorable discharge in 1946, studying to become an electrician. He met his wife, the former Barbara Hansen, after moving to Santa Barbara in 1955 and was married the following year. He worked for nearly three decades at Point Mugu Pacific Missile Test Center. Van Wagner’s passion for volleyball was seeded during his early days in Santa Monica, Hermosa Beach, and Redondo Beach. He both played and photographed the volleyball action at East Beach, and also became the longtime director of Santa Barbara’s annual Semana Nautica Summer Sports Festival Volleyball Open. He is survived by his wife Barbara and two children, Ginger and Barry (Emily); half-brother Gary (Jan), and two half-sisters Anita (Frank, deceased) and Marilyn (Ken). No services are currently planned because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
