Eastside housing project moves forward in approval process By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

A rendering of the new housing project on 711 N. Milpas St. shows its planned Spanish Mediterraneanstyle and architectural features that will occasionally reach up to 52 feet.

Slowly but surely, Vanguard Planning LLC’s housing project for 711 N. Milpas St. is advancing through the approval process to begin construction. At Tuesday’s city council meeting, the project’s development agreement term sheet was approved by a 6-1 vote. The revised term sheet includes 16 moderate-income affordability units, a more traditional, Spanish Mediterranean-style, a height increase to 48 feet with some architectural components reaching 52 feet and 22 additional parking spaces via parking lifts. Both the developers and city officials stated the importance

of the community benefit of this housing project. “Our goal is to provide moderateincome affordable housing, along with market rate housing,” said Jarrett Gorin, principal with Vanguard Planning LLC. “The city is desperately behind on meeting its requirements set by the state, so we are trying to provide some housing, which we really need.” Because the apartments will be located downtown and near Santa Barbara Junior High School, the developers hope to house teachers and first responders in the 16 moderate-income units. This can be done by partnering to create employer-assisted housing, and Mr. Gorin told the News-Press the developers have already had interest from businesses.

“It was important to provide something that was a community benefit beyond what the normal requirements are,” he said. “It (16 units) is twice what the city requires. The city requirement is normally 10% and we’re providing 20%.” In addition to the community benefit of employer-assisted housing, the project also must follow the code requirement of roofs available for solar panels. “We’ll put them on every available area of roof that they fit,” Mr. Gorin said. At Tuesday’s meeting, Mr. Gorin added that the developers will also build a sidewalk with direct access to the school, which he called a Please see HOUSING on A7

Largest drug bust in county history

More than 3,000 pounds of meth seized, 33 arrested By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR RAFAEL MALDONADO/NEWS-PRESS PHOTOS

Deputies at the Isla Vista Foot Patrol Office have started bike rides with the local children and teenagers to connect with youth and foster relationships. The officers wanted a way for kids to get out and exercise safely amid COVID-19. Sunday’s News-Press will highlight these rides and what both the kids, and the officers enjoy about them.

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department conducted the largest drug seizure in county history Wednesday morning, intercepting a panga boat carrying more than 3,000 pounds of methamphetamine, authorities said. At approximately 3:04 a.m. Wednesday, Sheriff’s detectives, patrol deputies and personnel with allied agencies intercepted the panga boat at Arroyo Quemada Beach in Goleta. The boat was carrying approximately 3,164 pounds of methamphetamine, making Wednesday’s seizure one of the largest methamphetamine seizures in the nation’s history, said Raquel Zick, sheriff’s spokeswoman. The interception was part of an extensive investigation and cooperative effort by a number of local, state and federal agencies. The 40-foot homemade boat, which originated in Mexico, was equipped with three 300horsepower Yamaha engines. In total, 33 people were arrested, including 29 men, one woman and three juveniles. The 30 adults were transported to the Main Jail and booked on suspicion of conspiracy and transportation of narcotics for sale, both felonies, Ms. Zick said. Two suspects, Ricardo Desales and Fernando Arroyo, attempted

to flee and were bitten while being apprehended by Sheriff’s K9 units. They were both medically cleared and booked with an additional charge of resisting arrest, Ms. Zick said. The arrestees included: Antonia Gonzales, 33, of Riverside; Juan Alvarez, 43, of Pomona; Jesse Padilla, 30, of Whittier; Noe Ortega, 37, of Jurupa Valley; Santiago Carrillo-Galvan, 53, of Goleta; Joel Barrios, 50, of Bell; Enrique Transito-Alejo, 58, of Goleta; Aldolfo Ortega, 72, of Mira Loma; Mario Saenz-Avila, 35, of Goleta; Enrique Ortega, 25, of Mira Loma; Saul Loza, 29, of Goleta; Gabriel Moreno-Sepulveda, 31, of Santa Barbara; Rogelio VallesVasquez, 61, of Santa Barbara; Israel Sosa, 38, of Goleta; Indargo Franco-Gonzalez, 51, of Moreno Valley; Felix Mojardin, 25, of Goleta; Rodolfo Martinez, 59, of Santa Barbara; Oswaldo LopezFelix, 37, of Goleta; Salomon Arzate-Garcia, 43, of Riverside; Vincente Guevara-Valencia, 58, of Mira Loma; Henry Ayala, 62, of Whittier; Brian Armendariz, 26, of Santa Barbara; Mariano Joanico, 35, of Goleta; Pedro Zavala-Luna, 41, of Santa Barbara; Ernesto Pacheco, 32, of Los Angeles; Mr. Desales, 51, of Anaheim; Luis RodriguezGalvez, 44, of Whittier; Alexis Martinez, 24, of Santa Barbara; Mr. Arroyo, 42, of Moreno Valley; and Humberto Franco-Gonzalez, Please see DRUGS on A2

Local corn The essence of the summer season, fresh plump ears of locally grown and harvested corn can currently be found at the weekly Saturday Santa Barbara, Sunday Camino Real, Tuesday Santa Barbara, Wednesday Solvang and Thursday Carpinteria farmers’ markets from at least a halfdozen producers. Shuck the kernels over a salad, steamed rice, stuffed peppers or incorporate into a grilled corn and black bean salsa as in the Fix of the Week on A4. The perfect side to any barbecued meal, locally grown corn should be available well into the fall season. Price averages 75 cents each, certified organic available.

The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum’s exhibits include this model of the U.S. Navy’s oldest ship, the USS Constitution. It is also known as “Old Ironsides.”

Thompson seedless grapes Possessing a light green hue, this variety of table grape is among the sweetest to emerge during the grape season Often more petite than their counterparts, this variety is juicy, sweet with a nice subtle crunch. They’re excellent to eat just as they come. A favorite with my kids, this seedless variety is a good source of vitamin C. These delicious grapes are available at all weekly Santa Barbara Certified Farmers’ Markets from a number of local farmers. Price averages $3 per pound.

Voyages into naval history SB Maritime Museum features everything from submarine periscope to upcoming Navy artist’s exhibit By BRIAN MACKLEY NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

T

he Santa Barbara Maritime Museum is gearing up to set sail with a new exhibit this December that will feature paintings by Arthur Beaumont, the official U.S. Navy War Artist of World War II. That will mark the latest display by a museum with a plethora of naval exhibits. Known for its rich and diverse interpretation of the maritime history of the Santa Barbara Channel, the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum was founded in 2000 by a group of fishermen, divers and sailors who are a part of the area’s thrilling history. Its mission is to create quality exhibits and educational experiences that celebrate the Santa Barbara Channel and illuminate the community’s rich connections with the sea. Greg Gorga, the museum’s executive director, told the NewsPress the new exhibit will feature around 50 magnificent paintings by Mr. Beaumont and will run from December through March. SBMM is only one of 10 museums in the country selected to feature Mr. Beaumont’s work. And the museum, which was a Naval Reserve building until the 1990s, is only one of a handful of U.S. museums to have a working periscope from a submarine. In addition, the museum has what Mr. Gorga believes to be the most important maritime artifact from the Santa Barbara Channel: the giant first order Fresnel lens from the U.S. Coast Guard’s Point Conception Lighthouse. More than 160 years old, the lens stands more than 18 feet tall and weighs approximately 6,000 pounds. However, Mr. Gorga said the museum’s largest Naval exhibit

Japanese tomatoes This top-shelf tomato variety is a must try. A low acid variety, Japanese tomatoes are known to be very sweet and aromatic, noticeably different from the standard slicing tomatoes you may be accustomed to. Rather than a deep red coloration, they take on a stunning pinkish hue. Tomatoes are very nutritious, packed with vitamin C and are one of the premier sources of lycopene, producing cancer fighting properties as well as assisting in reducing heart disease. They’re excellent over a salad, in a sandwich or a caprese salad loaded with fresh basil. You can currently find Japanese tomatoes at the weekly Saturday Santa Barbara, Tuesday Santa Barbara, Thursday Carpinteria and Friday Montecito farmers’ markets from both Beylik Family Farm and California Sunrise Farms. Price averages $4.50 per pound.

On Sept. 8, 1923, seven U.S. Navy destroyers were shipwrecked, and 23 sailors lost their lives in the Navy’s largest peacetime loss. In addition to featuring archival photos and artifacts from the Honda Point disaster, the museum also features many other U.S. Navy exhibits including five U.S. Navy ship models, an air-towater torpedo that was tested by the Navy in the Santa Barbara Channel, a U.S. Navy Mark V diving helmet and an old WAVES uniform. Although the museum must

remain closed at least until Sept. 10 due to COVID-19, it offers virtual tours on its website, sbmm.org. The site also includes virtual activities for kids that cover both the history and skills of the U.S. Navy such as knot tying and how to build Navy ships out of Legos. Other topics vary

from sailor diets to the history of lighthouses. In addition, the museum is hosting Zoom webinars on the third Thursday of each month. The latest one is at 7 tonight and will cover “North America’s Galapagos The Historic Channel Islands Biological Survey.â€? The program will be hosted by Corinne Heyning Laverty. In addition, Mr. Gorga said the museum has plans to open another new exhibit in the next couple weeks about the Santa Cruz Acoustic Range Facility on Santa Cruz Island. Mr. Gorga said more information will be released soon about the SCARF and Beaumont exhibits. email: bmackley@newspress.com

crisp texture is to prepare the entire ear in the husk. Simply peel back the husk to the base and remove the inner silk, then drizzle the exposed ear with melted butter (or olive oil). Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste and a splash of lime juice for those seeking tangy notes. Then wrap the husk back over the corn and grill it for about 8-10 minutes, until the corn is tender, and the husk is slightly charred. To help secure the husk, wrap it in foil. Fresh corn can also be prepared by removing the entire husk and inner silk, brushing the corn with olive oil and adding garlic salt and pepper to taste. This reduces the moisture content a little, but adds that delicious grilled flavor, allowing the kernels to slightly char. This method should allow the corn to finish in about 5-6 minutes of cooking time, rotating regularly for even cooking. This week I prepared one of our family’s summer favorites: grilled corn and black bean salsa. Use as a dip, to top your tacos or a tostada salad. I also like to top scrambled eggs or an omelet with a hearty scoop.

 Grilled Corn and Black Bean Salsa 2 ears grilled corn 8 Roma style tomatoes, firmripe (diced), or any type of tomato you prefer 1 small red onion (diced) ½ cup fresh cilantro (chopped) Ÿ cup fresh lime or lemon juice 1 clove fresh garlic (minced) 1 jalapeùo pepper (seeds and membrane removed to reduce heat if needed, minced) 1 12-ounce can black beans (liquid drained) 1 ripe avocado, firm-ripe, diced into small cubes salt and pepper to taste Remove cooked corn from the husk by positioning the corn on its end and working the knife downward. In a mixing bowl, combine corn, diced tomato, onion, cilantro, lime or lemon juice, garlic and jalapeno pepper. Toss well. Then add black beans and avocado. Toss gently until incorporated. Season liberally with salt and add pepper to taste. Yield: Makes about 4 cups.

hile we’ve had some locally grown corn available at area farmers markets since early July, it has taken a little longer than usual for it to be noticed by those who do not shop the market from the onset of the opening bell. There are a few boxes here and a few boxes there from a limited number of farmers. I often found myself absent from this summer favorite, with our shoppers scooping up the hearty ears. This past weekend, however, I definitely got my fair share, and I’m expecting to have it more readily available into the fall season.  The local corn is so sweet and flavorful that it can be thoroughly enjoyed fresh directly out of the husk. However, cooking is more my style. There are so many ways to prepare corn I’m sure everyone has their favorite techniques. Mine usually involves a drizzle of olive oil, freshly cracked black pepper, a wedge of fresh lime, garlic salt and, of course, a hot grill. A great way to deliver a moist,

Dear Abby: My husband and I have been arguing over whether food must be covered while it’s being heated in the microwave. I always cover it because it takes little effort and prevents splatters. He refuses, unless the food is very saucy or greasy. When I ask why he won’t do it, he has no answer. It would be one thing if he routinely cleaned the microwave, but he never does, leaving me to do it. This has caused shouting matches between us. How can we settle this, short of throwing away the microwave? — Uncovered Out West Dear Uncovered: Do not toss out a perfectly good microwave over this issue.

“Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.� — Steve Jobs

ARIES — You might feel more energetic than you have in a long time, Aries. A powerful energy that increases your mental acuity and physical strength can really help you finish anything that’s pending. If you managed to accomplish so much already that you have time to spare, it’s fine to help others with their load. Be sure to put yours first, though. TAURUS — If there’s something you’ve wanted to take on, Taurus, today’s the day. There’s an increase in your physical and mental strength. Dispose of any insecurity or lack of confidence and take the steps to tackle a project or goal. You have an innate ability to make sound judgments and this is what you need to trust. Take steps to get what you want. GEMINI — If you’ve been feeling sluggish lately, this will be a welcome day for you, Gemini. You’ll feel a surge in energy that greatly increases your creativity and physical strength. Seize the opportunity to be outside for sports or a walk. Such things will direct your energy and give your mind a chance to clear. Don’t be surprised if you have more focus later. Make the most of this. CANCER — Cancer, if there’s something interesting that you’ve wanted to try, this is a great day for it. Adventure brings excitement, creative flow, and energy, which are essential to you. You’re highly artistic. Continual stimulation is required to keep your psyche healthy. Experience something new today, even if it’s a walk in a new place. You’ll get the adrenaline you need. LEO — With today’s energy, you can take steps toward getting things in order, Leo. Tackle desk drawers, closets, storage rooms, or filing cabinets. When you create order, you gain a sense of peace and personal control. Mental organization, such as goal planning, brainstorming, or scheduling, will add to this, too. Do what you can to clean out as many mental and physical corners as possible. VIRGO — Today’s energy can have you feeling ready for anything, Virgo. Given your more radical approach, you may need to keep in check. Humanitarianism is part of your being, so if the pursuit of something you want hurts others, it would be a serious contradiction. Think through your actions before following through +*#!2 +1$)"$ to ensure that you remain true to your ethical standards.

LIBRA — Today might be a good day to take a second shot at something that didn’t work out the first time, Libra. Falling flat on your face can damage your self-esteem and confidence, but such things are part of life, and they really do add character. By going back into the ring, you ensure that you build courage and perseverance. SCORPIO — Your ability to find innovative approaches to things may serve you well today, Scorpio. Strong energy and mental acuity continue today, and you’ll find that most things come easily. When approaching projects, take extra time to consider possibilities. Try seeing things from every angle. You’ll likely find far more choices than you originally thought there were. Jot down ideas. SAGITTARIUS — If longoverdue work has piled up, Sagittarius, today is the day to dig in. This is especially so for things you weren’t able to handle yesterday. Fortunately, you have added strength and mental acuity. Things will go smoothly. Make the most of this energy by not putting off anything. The pile will just grow if you procrastinate. Do what needs to be done and you’ll feel great. CAPRICORN — Don’t worry about being productive today, Capricorn. You might still accomplish more than you have in a long time. The cosmic energy indicates that if you didn’t get everything done that you wanted to yesterday, you’re sure to do it today. Dig in your heels and go. Things will get done with time to spare. If you’re into a creative hobby, work on that, too. You’ll find it rewarding. AQUARIUS — Expect an added boost of physical energy today, Aquarius. It’s an excellent day to clean out closets. Exercise like yoga or walking will be most enjoyable. It could also prove to be well worth your while to look at your goals. Are you where you want to be at this stage of your life or are there changes that need to be made? Give your brain and body a good workout. PISCES — If certain projects or tasks have seemed difficult for you to finish, today’s energy will give you the zip you need, Pisces. The energy indicates that things will go well for you once you get started. It’s a good time to meet with others to discuss business or other arrangements. Your increased communication and cooperative skills will make decisions easier than usual.

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.

Harris accepts nomination for vice president

Continued from Page A1 “dramatic improvement for safety,� turning that area of Ortega Street from a dead end into formal pedestrian access. Out of the 65,000 square-foot area the developers have to work with, they left 27,000 square feet of area outside the building, so construction vehicles will be able to park on site so as not to inhibit other residents from parking or walking through. The project was praised by the majority of the city council members, especially council member Alejandra Gutierrez, who represents District 1 where the development will be built. She stated that three key things sold her on this project: affordable housing for first responders and teachers; creating a safe sidewalk; and the addition of people living in the area to help the local economy. “That is an area that is very abandoned and most of the time, that’s where a lot of the fights break out,� Ms. Gutierrez said.

The 357-foot-long, $250 million super yacht owned by Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has been anchored outside Santa Barbara Harbor since Aug. 16. The yacht, named Bravo Eugenia, traveled 17 days and 19 hours from Juneau, Alaska, before arriving in Santa Barbara, according to marinetraffic. com. The four-deck yacht has two helicopter pads, a large spa with a sauna, steam room, massage room and rain shower, as well as a complete gym on the lower deck. The Cowboys typically hold their annual training camp in Oxnard, but due to the coronavirus pandemic they are training in Dallas.

The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: 9/17/2020 at Time: 9:00 am, in Dept.: 5, located at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, 1100 Anacapa Street, PO Box 21107, Santa Barbara, CA 93101, Anacapa Division. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

SUMMONS (CITACIĂ“N JUDICIAL) Case Number (NĂşmero del Caso) 20CV02036 In the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of Santa Barbara NOTICE TO THE FOX CANYON GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT AGENCY AND ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN THE MATTER OF (AVISO PARA TODAS PERSONAS INTERESADOS EN EL ASUNTO DE): THE GROUNDWATER SUSTAINABILITY PLAN FOR THE LAS POSAS VALLEY GROUNDWATER BASIN The Las Posas Basin Water Rights Coalition (the “Coalitionâ€?) has filed its First Amended Petition for Writ of Mandate and Complaint for Declaratory Relief, Injunctive Relive, and Reverse Validation (“Amended Petitionâ€?). By the Amended Petition, the Coalition seeks a judicial decree, pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure section 860, et seq., determining that the Groundwater Sustainability Plan for the Las Posas Valley Groundwater Basin (the “GSPâ€?), adopted on December 13, 2019 by Resolution No. 2019-05 of the Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency (the “GMAâ€?), is legally deficient, invalid, and inapplicable, as the contested provisions were adopted and/or have been interpreted in a manner contrary to the requirements of the state law. Further, the Coalition seeks a judicial determination that any efforts by the GMA to implement the provisions of the GSP, including but not limited to the adoption of an allocation ordinance, are also legally deficient, invalid and inapplicable, because those efforts are based on a deficient groundwater sustainability plan. All persons interested in this matter and the GMA may contest the legality or validity of the matter by appearing and filing a written answer to the Amended Petition not later than September 30, 2020. Unless you respond timely, a default will be entered upon application by the Coalition, and the Coalition may apply to the Court for the relief demanded in the Amended Petition. Persons who contest the legality or validity of the matter will not be subject to punitive action, such as wage garnishment or seizure of their real or personal property. You may seek the advice of an attorney in any matter connected with the complaint or this summons. Such attorney should be consulted promptly so that your pleading may be filed or entered within the time required by this summons. DETAILED SUMMARY OF THE MATTER THAT THE COALITION SEEKS TO INVALIDATE: The GMA is a local agency that implements the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (“SGMAâ€?) and serves as the primary entity responsible for implementing sustainable groundwater management for the Las Posas Valley Groundwater Basin (the “Basinâ€?) in Ventura County. The Basin is a high-priority basin, and the GMA is thus required to develop and implement a groundwater sustainability plan. Groundwater sustainability plans are detailed road maps for how groundwater basins will sustainably managed. SGMA requires that groundwater basins designated as high-priority basins, like the Basin, be managed under a groundwater sustainability plan by January 31, 2022. (Water Code § 10720.7.) Pursuant to Resolution No. 2019-05, the Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency adopted the final GSP for the Basin on December 13, 2019. The GSP is legally deficient, invalid, and inapplicable, as the contested provisions were adopted and/or have been interpreted in a manner contrary to the requirements of the state law. Further, any efforts by the GMA to implement the provisions of the GSP, including but not limited to the adoption of an allocation ordinance, are also legally deficient, invalid and inapplicable, because those efforts are based on a deficient groundwater sustainability plan.

College World Series players dominate UCSB’s All-Decade Team By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

UCSB’s College World Series baseball team of 2016 remains the fan favorite four years after its magical run to Omaha. Nine of the 12 players recently selected to the Gauchos’ All-Decade Team in a socialmedia poll were on the Gaucho squad that provided college baseball one of the most dramatic moments in its history. “They picked our entire College World Series infield and catcher,” noted coach Andrew Checketts, “but I suppose that was when the fans watched us the most.” The 2016 team punched its ticket to Omaha by winning the NCAA Super Regional at Louisville, 4-3, on freshman Sam Cohen’s pinch-hit, grand-slam home run in the bottom of the ninth inning. UCSB fans didn’t get the chance to pick the pinch-hitter of the decade, although Checketts said that honor actually would have been more deserved by Cohen’s teammate, Billy Fredrick. Cohen didn’t make the All-Big West Conference team until the next year. “I think that grand slam made Sam something like 1-for-12 in pinch hits that season — he just had the big one at the right time,” he said with a laugh. “But Billy was something like .450 as a pinch-hitter. We used to joke that whenever we needed a base runner, we’d send Billy up to pinch-hit.” Justin Jacome, UCSB’s director of baseball operations, conducted the survey on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. He admitted that the survey did stir some controversy. “We tried to get the point across that it wouldn’t necessarily be the best team of players — we could’ve looked at the statistics and done that ourselves,” said Jacome, an AllBig West pitcher on the Gauchos’ 2015 team. “It was about which players’ were the fans’ favorites.” Several former Gauchos lost the vote at their positions despite having advanced to the top levels of Minor League Baseball. The All-Decade Team does include two pitchers, Shane Bieber and Dillon Tate, who are now in Major League Baseball. Bieber, the ace of the UCSB’s 2016 team, leads the big leagues in strikeouts with 54. His record of 4-0 with the Cleveland Indians has him tied for most wins in the majors and his ERA of 1.30 is third-best. Tate, meanwhile, made his season debut with Baltimore on Monday and allowed just one hit over 2 1/3 innings. Here is the All-Decade Team with their final UCSB season in parenthesis: STARTING PITCHERS — Bieber (2016), Tate (2015), and Noah Davis (2018). Those missing the cut included 2019 AllAmerican Jack Dashwood, as well as allleaguers Ben Brecht (2019), Stevie Ledesma (2018), Domenic Mazza (2015), Jacome (2015), Austin Pettibone (2013), Andrew Vasquez (2012), Matt Vedo (2012), and Bryce Uhrig (2011). “Bieber is a Cy Young candidate right now,” Checketts said. “I saw Tate pitch the other night and he looked great except for one pitch (a home run hit by Cavan Biggio). He looked

more like when he was here when he was letting it rip. “Noah was our Saturday guy in 2016 but he got dinged up after that.” RELIEF PITCHER — Kyle Nelson (2017). He was the iron man of the 2016 bullpen, making 33 appearances — second-most in school history — while stringing together a school-record 23 2/3 scoreless innings. Nelson, who was placed this summer on the Cleveland Indians’ reserve squad, beat out another iron man. Greg Mahle (2014) made it to the majors with the Los Angeles Angels in 2016 and is still on their minor-league roster. “I thought Nelson would have already made it with the Indians,” Checketts said. “He’s put up video-game numbers in the minors (13-7, 2.07 ERA, 17 saves and 176 strikeouts in 122 innings).” CATCHER — Dempsey Grover (2017). He beat out several others who received higher All-Big West recognition including AllAmerican Eric Yang, the league’s Field Player of the year in 2019, as well as Thomas Rowan (2019), Campbell Wear (2015), and Jackson Morrow (2013). “The fans watched Dempsey catch a lot in the playoffs, and he was clearly a good player who did a great job,” Checketts said. “Eric Yang was better from a statistical standpoint (.368), but it’s a fan vote and not a stat vote. I’d actually take any of those catchers on the list. They were all pretty special.” FIRST BASE —Austin Bush (2017). Bush hit 11 home runs in 2016, which included the walk-off blow to beat Washington in the 14th inning of UCSB’s Regional opener. He added a school-record 20 more in 2017. He beat out his two predecessors, Tyler Kuresa (2014) and Dalton Kelly (2015). Kelly has lasted the longest in pro ball, having played at Triple-A last year for Tampa Bay. “Kelly kept getting injured and just never

was able to really put a full season together here,” Checketts said. “Austin put up big numbers here and hit some of those magical homers in the regionals that got us to the World Series. His pro career was just a little shorter than most of us expected.” SECOND BASE — J.J. Muno (2017). He was one of the top hitters — as well as leaders — of UCSB’s College World Series team. He beat out such former all-leaguers as Andrew Martinez (2019), Woody Woodward (2012), and Sean Williams (2011). “He performed, and he was the heart and soul of that 2016 team,” Checketts said. “Go back and watch the highlights and you’ll see J.J. in the middle of everything, leading every break and providing the energy. He was running that club.” THIRD BASE — Ryan Clark (2016). The highlight reel also bolstered Clark’s case in beating out such former all-leaguers as Peter Maris (2015), who’s on the cusp of making the big leagues with the San Francisco Giants. “Peter could do more things offensively, although Ryan did hit in his last year here,” Checketts said. “They were both high school shortstops and plus-defenders at third for us. “But Ryan was on that World Series stage. He made a diving double-play against Fullerton that helped us win that year and a bunch of highlight plays in the postseason.” SHORTSTOP — Clay Fisher (2018). Fisher, like Clark, was a web-gem master on UCSB’s World Series team. By 2018, his bat had improved enough (.294) to get him on the All-Big West first team. He beat out Brandon Trinkwon (2013), who played four seasons in the Dodgers farm system, and Steven Moon (2011). “Fisher is the best defender that we’ve had in the last nine years,” Checketts said. “He’s in the Baltimore organization, and now that he’s finally healthy, his bat will hopefully catch up to his defense. He’s a big-league defender.” OUTFIELD — Tommy Jew (2019), Cameron Newell (2015), Tevin Mitchell (2019). Mitchell, a popular figure on UCSB’s last regional team, created perhaps the biggest controversy in the poll by beating out teammate Armani Smith (.323, 11 home runs), as well as Andrew Calica (2015), Joey Epperson (2014), Brett Vertigan (2012), and Mark Haddow (2011). “Tommy Jew and Cameron Newell, who was the conference player of the year, were pretty consistent over two or three years, while Tevin put it together in his last season,” Checketts said. “They actually should’ve picked six outfielders. It’s pretty congested out there with really good players.” A designated hitter or utility position would’ve been nice, too, he added. Robbie Nesovic (2015), who pitched and played first base as well as DH, was a three-time allleaguer. Rowan, who mostly DHed in 2019 while backing up Yang at catcher, hit .327 with a team-best 13 homers. “It was fun to see all the different comments, why people voted for one guy over another,” Jacome said. It was done, after all, just for fun.

VILLARREAL, José G.

José G. Villarreal, longtime resident of Santa Barbara, passed away August 11, 2020. José came to Santa Barbara, CA from Chihuahua, Chih., Mexico. He is preceded in death by: his parents, Hesiquio Villarreal González and Petra Guerrero de Villarreal; his siblings, Carmen Villarreal Vda. de Castaño, Andrés Villarreal Guerrero, Luis Villarreal Guerrero, Elena Villarreal de Garza, and Chuy Villarreal Guerrero; seven half-brothers and sisters; his first wife, Juanita Gutierrez de Villarreal; his second wife, Sharon Kay Villarreal; and beloved daughter, Helen Elizabeth Villarreal Kozik (Chris). José is survived and will be forever missed by his beloved children, Joe Villarreal (Cecilia), Sharon Marie Villarreal, Richard Louis Villarreal (Ana), and Alice Jennine Villarreal Redit (Wayne); his precious grandchildren, Elizabeth Maribel Villarreal, Chloe Marie Redit, and Sarah Ivy Redit; countless nieces and nephews; and numerous lifelong friends. José had some formal education, including accounting school. He was an avid reader and seeker of knowledge. He came to California as a young man, with no possessions or family. He taught himself English by reading newspapers and with any extra money he made washing dishes and other odd jobs, he enrolled in English classes. He worked his way up the ladder to become chef of the Coral Casino of the Santa Barbara Biltmore under his mentor, the renowned Chef de Cuisine, Jacques La Borgne. He worked there 25 years and was honored for his dedication and precision, before accepting the position of Executive Chef at La Cumbre Golf and Country Club, where he provided excellent service for the next 25 years. Guests and co-workers alike took notice of his leadership and hospitality. José often worked 12 to 16 hour days, splitting his shifts in order to attend his five children’s school and sports activities. His dedication to his work was exemplified by the fact that he rarely took a day off work. Among José’s proudest moments was his becoming a naturalized U.S citizen in 1968, alongside his dear sister-in-law, Lucy Gutierrez Ortiz but he always remained proud of his Mexican heritage. Once a citizen, he never missed voting in any election and became informed and involved in his community. He supported workers’ rights and in his later life, was able to more actively participate in his community. He attended community information meetings, particularly those affecting the Eastside of SB and advocated for immigrants’ rights. José was a long-time member of Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish as well as the Knights of Columbus. He was proud to participate in the SBPD “ridealong” program and was mentioned a few times in the SB News-Press for his efforts to improve the local community. He was especially happy when volunteering with “Food from the Heart,” where he met many friends, like Grover Barnes. José was honored to have known Mr. Barnes, who was 100 years young. He always had a few minutes to talk while delivering meals to those in need. José was also proud to have met the wonderful chef there, Robin Monroe, who always referred to him as “Mr. José.” As a youth, José was a talented athlete. He played baseball and basketball and trained as an amateur boxer. He also for a time was being groomed to become a bullfighter. José passed on his passion for sports to his children, all of whom played sports in high school. José was known as the “walking encyclopedia” of boxing. He was proud to be a loyal Dodger fan. He attended many games and took his children when he could. He enjoyed watching and answering the questions on “Jeopardy” and “Wheel of Fortune.” Though he did not acknowledge it, his wealth of vocabulary, and knowledge of world events, politics, and history was noted by his family and friends. He loved watching classic movies, especially westerns. After working for more than fifty years and raising five children, José was finally able to spend some time on himself. He was never happier than when his siblings would come to visit him from Chihuahua, or he would visit them. He enjoyed the occasional lunch with his friends. He prided himself on the care of his plants and many fruit trees, and loved to watch the birds take baths in his garden. His most treasured times were those spent with family. He doted on his three grandchildren and loved to spoil each of them. He will be remembered for instilling in his children and grandchildren his Catholic faith in God, the value of a dollar, gratitude for family, and a strong work ethic. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, a Rosary is not permitted. Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10 am Fri., Aug. 21 at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church followed immediately by Interment at Calvary Cemetery in Santa Barbara. Face coverings are required at all services. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in José’s memory to Food from the Heart, 909 N La Cumbre Rd, Santa Barbara, CA 93110. Arrangements entrusted to Pueblo del Rey Funeral Services.
