Construction begins on energy project By JORGE MERCADO NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Renewable energy is an important key to the future and its foundation in Santa Barbara County has taken a big step forward. Construction on a new renewable energy resource project, also known as the Vallecito Energy Storage Resilience Project, began on Tuesday in Carpinteria near Foothill Road and Linden Avenue. “VESR will provide foundational energy resilience to this highly transmissionvulnerable and disaster-prone area and will serve as a model that supports Santa Barbara County’s emissions reduction goals, drives regional economic development, and optimizes the performance and costeffectiveness of the electricity grid,” Craig Lewis, executive director of Clean Coalition, told the News-Press. The project provides

resilience to the portion of Santa Barbara County known as the Goleta Load Pocket. It represents a good chunk of the 400 megawatts of energy storage that’s needed within the GLP, in conjunction with 200 megawatts of solar, to protect the region from a complete transmission outage. It will set the stage for the four additional utility scale battery projects expected to come online by March 2021. The Goleta Load Pocket spans 70 miles of Southern California coastline, from Point Conception to Lake Casitas, encompassing the cities of Goleta, Santa Barbara (including Montecito), and Carpinteria. This is important because the entire GLP area is currently served by one electrical substation, the Goleta Substation. This means there is only one transmission path through a mountainous region, which in the last few years has Please see energy on A8

The celebration on Wednesday was part of the seventh annual Day of Hope to raise money for programs, services and new technologies to help the patients’ fight against cancer. As of Wednesday afternoon, Mission Hope had already raised nearly $200,000, only $30,000 short of its goal. Organizers hope to surpass it.

The coronavirus pandemic has not stopped local organizations from assisting the homeless. The process of getting homeless individuals into permanent housing has taken longer due to the pandemic, though groups like People Assisting the Homeless and the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara have remained steadfast in their efforts. PATH’s 100-bed transitional facility is currently at full capacity. Over the course of the pandemic, it has seen as many, but not more, homeless individuals come in seeking shelter as prior to the pandemic. Under ordinary circumstances, those staying at PATH’s shelter would stay there for around three to six months. According to PATH regional director Tessa Madden Storms, average stays have gotten a bit longer since the start of COVID-19.

“It’s been a little bit more difficult, understandably, during this pandemic,” she said. When the pandemic and widespread lockdowns began in the spring, Santa Barbara County implemented the California Department of Social Services’ Project Roomkey. Through this program, homeless individuals are put up in an undisclosed hotel on an interim basis. Santa Barbara’s Project Roomkey site is staffed, in part, with PATH personnel and has a capacity of 75 units. Those who are admitted are most at risk of COVID-19 due to their age or underlying medical conditions. After staying at a Project Roomkey location, homeless individuals are eventually transitioned into permanent housing. Ms. Madden Storms said PATH is managing around 18 people expected to be transitioned within the next couple of months. While those staffing Project Please see homeless on A7

Fresh coco shelling beans

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

V

These pale yellow pods don’t look like too much to get excited about upon first glance, but once unzipped, the large black coco beans within are exposed. While you can consume them fresh out of the pod this time of year, they are best enjoyed when cooked, as in this week’s Fix of the Week recipe on A4. When cooked, they transform into a stunning deep purple color, making them an attractive addition to the plate. Enjoy the beans as a side, in a burrito or over a tostada salad. They’re an excellent source of dietary fiber and protein, and you can find them fresh in the pod for a limited time from 2 Peas in a Pod Farm at the Saturday Santa Barbara Farmers’ Market. Price is $5 a pound.Â

Jumbo crunchy seedless grapes This unique farmers market find is a huge hit with the regulars once in season. This is Burkdoll Farm’s signature grape. The name perfectly describes them: jumbo, crunchy and seedless. While not as juicy as, say, the Thompson grape variety, these grapes are still quite moist and a favorite with my kids. Their firm texture holds up very well in a fruit salad, or chicken salad recipe, although my family usually just enjoys them right off the stem. They’re currently available at all weekly Santa Barbara certified farmers’ markets. The price is $3.50 per pound with discounts on bulk purchases.

With the launch of her Bluebird in a Box, Ms. Frischkorn is hoping to bring back the art of hosting by sharing her expertise as founder of Bluebird Productions, an ultra luxury wedding and event planning company. “We are all living through this time of the unknown with stress and being unsure of what’s coming next. Now more than ever, making our own homes and backyards into creative celebrations is essential to our well being,� she said. The boxes, which cost $48, contain digital guides, which are called Blueprints. “The Blueprint is right at your fingertips,� said Ms. Frischkorn.

“You have access to everything so that you can start planning your event from anywhere — the couch, the bath, your office. The party plan fits right in your pocket.� Included are curated menu options with recipes and grocery lists, suggested beverage pairings with cocktail recipes, tablescape designs, decor tips, sartorial style guides, a place setting map and recommended tableware and custom DJ mixes and playlists. “A planning timeline and checklists are key items. Knowing you have crossed every T and dotted every i will make you a relaxed host for your event,� she said. “People don’t seem to know how to have meaningful conversations anymore, so in each of the boxes there are conversation starters, like what three things give you the most energy or what three things are on your bucket list or what quote do you live by,� said Ms. Frischkorn, who grew up in Charlottesville, Va., where she earned her bachelor’s degree in art history and psychology at the Please see bluebird on A4

Broccoli sprouts There really isn’t much that is more nutritious than fresh sprouts, particularly this broccoli variety. They deliver your system a shot of vitamins A, B, C, E and K, and they provide minerals such as calcium, potassium, phosphorus, iron and zinc. They also contain protein, amino acids and antioxidants. The broccoli seeds are soaked and grown until only a few inches in length before sold, delivering a nice tender crunch and mild broccoli flavor.

The former ski instructor was catering and events manager at The Little Nell, a five-star hotel in Aspen, before starting Bluebird Productions. Although Ms. Frischkorn lives in Colorado, one of her hubs is Santa Barbara. “I have done a number of weddings in Santa Barbara and have many friends there,� she told the News-Press by phone from her home. Ms. Frischkorn said she chose the name Bluebird for her company “because in Colorado we have what are called Bluebird Days

Among the themes for everyday dinner parties are Farm to Table, Game Night, A Taste of Mexico, A Taste of Japan and A Taste of Italy. “I like the idea of hosting on Friday nights for no special occasion — just gather friends for no reason. During the pandemic, invite friends in your bubble. Make sure they wear masks and have hand sanitizer available. Instead of having one table for eight, have two tables for four. This is the time for

individual service, not buffet style,� said Ms. Frischkorn. She added that Bluebird in a Box “reinvents the playbook on partying. While other party kits focus on single pieces of the party puzzle like how to set a pretty table, my staff and I dreamed up the entire experience for you. It’s a complete sensory experience, a blueprint for what your party will look like to what it will smell and feel like to how it will sound. “Our wow-worthy parties take the headache out of hosting. No more hours spent scrolling through Pinterest looking for inspiration, no more wandering the grocery aisles debating what to cook, no more gluing your fingers together making decorations. Our digital and physical boxes free you up to focus on what truly matters — enjoying great company and making lasting connections.�

I don’t blame you for feeling angry, and possibly hurt, for the way they are behaving. You’re entitled. But the question you must answer for yourself is, would you be better off with or without those “sweethearts� in your life? Only you can answer that one. Dear Abby: I have been dating my boyfriend for nine months, and for the first time, at 28, I can say I know what love is. Marriage is in the future, which brings me to my question. How and when do I tell him I was adopted? — East Coast Girl Dear East Coast Girl: Frankly, I’m surprised this hasn’t already been discussed as part of your getting to know each other. You are acting like having been adopted is some kind of guilty secret, and it’s not. Tell your boyfriend in a quiet environment in which you can discuss it, preferably when you’re having dinner and when you both feel relaxed and comfortable, so you can answer any questions he may ask you.

PRIMETIME KEYT (ABC)

Fix of the Week

CW KSBY (NBC)

SAM EDELMAN PHOTO

P

iled high with multiple mounds on display, 2 Peas in a Pod Farm of Arroyo Grande is actively harvesting its bean fields. These are not the typical fresh green beans or yellow wax beans that you may be expecting, but rather a bounty of fresh shelling beans in an array of shapes, sizes and colors. Remaining on the plants just long enough for the beans encased within the fibrous pods to fully mature, these beans will inevitably need to be shelled, with the pods discarded. Then they’re simmered down until tender and delicious. While fresh shelling beans are usually treated similar to that of the standard dried beans you find in those bulk bins or bags at the grocery store, these are just soft enough to eat raw out of the pods. However, the uncooked beans can

be a little on the astringent side. Delivering a crunchy texture, similar to that of raw coconut but less moist, they really are best when cooked. Because they have yet to fully cure, it takes about half the time to transform them from crunchy to a soft creamy bean. The process of shelling them yourself before cooking can be quite rewarding. It’s a fun project my 3-year-old and I took on this week while my oldest son was making his way through a firstgrade remote learning session.  With about a half-dozen varieties on display at any given Saturday Santa Barbara farmers’ market, this week I was drawn to the large black coco beans. They’re slow cooked and served on a simple plate with brown rice, avocado, sliced radishes and homemade salsa. Sometimes a simple meal is the way to go.Â

 Simmered Fresh-Shelled Coco Beans

 1 pound coco shelling beans (yields about a half-pound of beans once shelled) ½ onion, diced ½ bell pepper, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced ½ teaspoon salt Fresh cracked pepper  Shell your beans and compost the pods. Rinse and place in a pot. Add your remaining ingredients, then fill the pot with water about 3 inches above ingredients. You can also use chicken or vegetable broth if desired. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 35 minutes or until then beans are tender and creamy. Cooking time may vary. Serve with a side of cooked rice, avocado, sliced radishes and salsa. Yield: Serves 2.Â

LIFE

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS

LIBRA — Positive change rarely happens without effort. Keep this in mind as transformation occurs quickly. You may feel as though you’re in the middle of a whirlpool and getting sucked deeper and deeper, unsure of where you’ll ultimately end up. This is merely the “nose to the grindstone� phase. Trust that your efforts will ultimately be rewarded. SCORPIO — You have natural leadership abilities, and today would be an ideal day to make use of this talent. In the past you may have hesitated to step forward and implement your ideas. But recent successes have given you the necessary confidence to pursue your objectives. You’ll likely find that the higher-ups support your efforts. Make the most of today’s auspicious circumstances, Scorpio. SAGITTARIUS — Today you feel in control and on top of the world. You can do anything, Sagittarius. This would be an auspicious time to begin a new project or creative endeavor. You can’t help but succeed but take care not to get in your own way. Sometimes you can be your own worst enemy. Believe in yourself and move confidently in the direction of your dreams in order to make them come true. CAPRICORN — Friendship could turn into romance if you aren’t careful, Capricorn. A platonic relationship could turn passionate, and no one would be more surprised than you. Think carefully about where you’d like this to go. While it can’t go back to the way it was, you can stop it from progressing further if you’re uncomfortable with the new dynamic. You can only make this decision once. AQUARIUS — Today you wake up feeling reinvigorated and renewed, Aquarius. You feel as though you can accomplish anything. And very likely, today you can. Anything you set your mind and attention to works out beautifully. Take care that you don’t gloat too much, though. Just because you feel invincible doesn’t necessarily mean that you are. PISCES — People often see you as shy and reserved, Pisces, but of course you know that you’re really very friendly once you relax. Today you find it unusually easy to interact with others. In fact, you feel downright gregarious as you chat and joke along with the best of them. This new, sociable you does wonders for your image. You’ve needed to loosen up for some time.

“The best way out is always through.� — Robert Frost

ARIES — All things domestic are highlighted, Aries. It could be that you’ve finally called the plumber or set out to do those household repairs yourself. New people are likely to come into your life. In fact, they may try to finagle an invitation for dinner, if possible. All you can expect today is the unexpected. Have some extra food on hand and see what happens. TAURUS — Keep your mind open to any and all possibilities today, Taurus. It’s likely that you’ll encounter someone who imparts valuable information. You may not realize right away just how important this information is, but it could have a dramatic impact on your life. Be prepared for anything. This is likely to be a most interesting day. GEMINI — Your ship could come in today, Gemini. It will happen unexpectedly, and it may take you some time to adjust to this sudden financial windfall. This is a day of big changes, because you may also decide to use this money to completely alter your way of life. It could be that you make a move to another part of the country or decide to change professions. Trust your instincts, Gemini. CANCER — You’re likely aware of your writing abilities, Cancer, but you may not realize the extent of your talent. It would be worthwhile to devote more time to your craft. You can’t improve much if writing time is interrupted by other obligations. Take some time to produce something of value. Why not give it a try, even if just for a week or so, to see what you can do? LEO — Tact isn’t necessarily your strong suit, Leo. No one would accuse you of being overly sensitive to other people’s emotions, but today you turn over a new leaf. This “new and improved� you tunes in to the thoughts and feelings of others and responds in thoughtful, caring ways. You may be surprised at how effective this gentler touch can be. VIRGO — Even though you probably aren’t getting on a plane today, Virgo, you would love to at some point in the future. Your wanderlust is back and you’re bound for the wild blue yonder yet again, most likely to someplace exotic. Enjoy the time away, but do come back. It seems that sometimes your spirit of adventure dampens your enjoyment of the more mundane but more real daily +*#!2 +1$)"$ life.

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.

20 cadets graduate from AHC Fire Academy SANTA MARIA — Twenty cadets of Battalion #145 from Allan Hancock College’s Fire Academy received their certificates of accomplishment on July 31 after 624 hours of classroom and field instruction. During a socially distanced ceremony in Lompoc, the cadets were recognized for completing their training and meeting and exceeding the state and national training standards for Firefighter I Certification. Because of COVID-19, the ceremony was live streamed

on Hancock’s YouTube page and only graduates and a small number of Hancock administrators and employees were present, according to a news release. The graduates initially had their training interrupted in the spring due to the pandemic. The college implemented new practices and guidelines that ensured social distancing while exceeding state and national training standards when cadets were allowed to return. Of the 20 cadets, two have

been hired by the Morro Bay Fire Department, one was hired by the San Luis Obispo County Fire Department and the remaining 17 will graduate as fire service candidates. “Every one of these graduates has vastly improved their skills since they began their training,� Andy Densmore, Hancock Fire Academy Coordinator, said in a statement. “We are very proud of each and every one of them.� The full list of cadets in Battalion #145 include: Logan Armstrong; Riley Boughton-

Success seen with census count Santa Barbara County has exceeded 2010 levels for the census.

Roomkey sites are working with homeless people to teach them skills necessary for living in an apartment, the Housing Authority is also involved with the program. According to Housing Authority deputy executive director Skip Syzmanski, the advocates for homeless people living at the Project Roomkey site reached out to the Housing Authority about placing those individuals in permanent housing. Around four people from Project Roomkey are now living at the Housing Authority’s recently opened Gardens on Hope, an 89-unit facility specifically for low-income seniors. The Housing Authority is currently filling Gardens on Hope with tenants, a process that has been slowed due to COVID-19.

Barbara County (68.5% in 2010). The number was also up for some cities: 70% for Santa Barbara (69.5% in 2010); 73.1% for Solvang (68.2% in 2010); 70.4% in Buellton (64.4% in 2010); and 69.2% in Lompoc (68.4% in 2010). Percentages were down, though, for other areas. As of Thursday, the percentage was 64.3 for Santa Maria (68.4% in 2010); 68.5% for Carpinteria (69.4% in 2010); 74.2% for Goleta (75.3% in 2010); and 64.6% in Guadalupe (72.8% in 2010). — Dave Mason

If it weren’t for the pandemic, the Housing Authority would have moved all of its prospective residents into the facility at one time. Instead, residents have been moved in by phases. Mr. Syzmanski remarked that many of the processes to get individuals into Housing Authority units have been delayed due to COVID-19. For example, interviewing potential tenants has become a more complicated, slower process as the Housing Authority tries to avoid conducting person-toperson interviews due to the pandemic. Though the process of getting homeless individuals into permanent housing has been delayed, Mr. Syzmanski said Housing Authority projects haven’t. “We always are looking for properties,� he said. email: jgrega@newspress.com

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.

been subject to fires, mudslides and other disasters. “If those transmission lines go down there’s pretty much almost no power in the area, so we are trying to fix that with the GLP microgrid which would serve the whole area,” Rosana Francescato, communications director for Clean Coalition, told the News-Press. “This project by itself will take care of 10% of the energy storage that’s needed for complete resilience in the area.” The project also sets the foundation for a future microgrid in Carpinteria. The Clean Coalition is also working with the Santa Barbara Unified School District to provide district schools with free solar power, plus storage through a power purchase agreement where the vendor

takes all the cost. The coalition will be picking the vendor later this week. “The Santa Barbara Unified School District puts no money down and actually they’ll be saving money from day one, because they’re going to have a fixed rate for this power purchase agreement while power costs from Southern California Edison would actually keep going up every year,” she said. In addition, the Goleta Load Project, once completed with 100% resilience, will yield roughly $346 million in economic stimulation. While aiming to increase the reliability and resiliency of the electricity grid, Clean Coalition’s mission is to accelerate the transition to renewable energy on a modern grid. email: jmercado@newspress.com

By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

James McCann, one strike away from catching the first no-hitter of Major League Baseball’s strangest season, wanted to look away on Tuesday as some painful history seemed to be repeating itself. It felt like August 26, 2015 — the day that Chris Iannetta of the Los Angeles Angels crushed a high, ninth-inning fastball and the no-hit hopes that McCann had been crafting with Detroit pitcher Justin Verlander. “I had flashbacks to that,” admitted McCann, a 2008 graduate of Dos Pueblos High School. “I relived the pitch.” The high fastball that he signaled on Tuesday to Lucas Giolito — the Chicago White Sox pitcher who trusted him more than any other — was also whacked hard to the outfield by Pittsburgh’s Erik Gonzalez. “I don’t think I’ve held my breath like that in a really long time,” McCann said. “It was one of those off the bat that I didn’t really even want to watch, to be honest.” But Adam Engel’s running catch in right field — clinching the 4-0, no-hit victory at Chicago’s Guaranteed Rate Field — had McCann hyperventilating as he ran into the arms of his close friend. “Just where I’m at in my career,” he began, “and doing it with a guy like Lucas, who I have such a special connection with, is something that… I just don’t know what to say. It’s pretty special.” They resurrected their careers together on Chicago’s South Side last year. In 2018, Giolito’s earned run average of 6.13 was the worst among all of baseball’s qualified

starting pitchers. Detroit cast off McCann that same season after he’d batted a career-low .220. But they both made the American League All-Star team in 2019. Giolito posted a win-loss record of 14-9 and ERA of 3.41, while McCann batted .279 with 18 home runs. “People wrote him off, people wrote me off — and then, all of a sudden, we’re both All-Stars in 2019,” McCann said during Tuesday’s post-game, video press conference. “As special as that 2019 All-Star game was with him and (fellow teammate Jose) Abreu, tonight is on another level. “Tonight is something that I’ll never forget and something he’ll never forget. And yeah, there is a bond to proving people wrong, continuing to work and continuing to prove people wrong.” Giolito, who had previously known McCann only as an opposing batter, put his fate in the catcher’s hands during spring training of 2019. “It started with our first conversation after my first bullpen throwing to him,” Giolito said. “He said, ‘The ball looks different coming out of your hand than last year.’ “I would have games where I could ramp it up to 95, 96, but it just wasn’t coming out the same. And he was the first one to say, ‘What’d you change? What happened?’ And so that already made me feel good from the getgo.” McCann wound up catching all 176 2/3 of his innings last year. He’s also caught the last 16 in which Giolito has allowed no runs with 26 strikeouts, increasing his season total to 58. That ranks second in all of baseball to the 75

strikeouts recorded by Cleveland ace Shane Bieber, a former UCSB star. “I think Lucas is an unbelievable pitcher and I think he’s got great stuff, and I think our relationship just takes it to the next level,” McCann said. “He’s really bought into how I call a game and how I manage a game, and it’s worked. “Like I’ve said numerous times, he trusts me, I trust him.” But Tuesday’s extraordinary victory actually felt very “typical” to Giolito. “I’m up there on the mound, I’m letting him do all the thinking, letting him read the hitters,” he said. “I’m paying attention, I’m seeing what they’re doing, but I’d say tonight was one of those nights to where we were really in sync. “Like, I had the grip ready to go and he was putting the signs down.” McCann was actually “caught off guard” early in the game when he called for a slider that Giolito shook off in favor of a fastball. “I can literally think of maybe three times in our entire history together where he’s shaken off,” he said. “It’s one of those things where that trust that we’ve had, I don’t know if I’ve ever had that with another pitcher in my career.” Giolito’s faith in McCann grew as he watched him do his homework during last year’s road trips. “Every single flight, he’s got his iPad, computer open,” he said. “He’s looking at numbers that I still don’t understand yet, putting together scouting reports for each hitter we’re going to face. “We go over it together. And then when we go out there, we

both have the game plan so set in our minds that it just makes it easier for me to go out there and perform, be loose, relaxed and just have fun with it. “He’s doing all the thinking, he’s doing all the hard work, and I’m just out there throwing the ball.” The wheels in McCann’s head were turning during Tuesday’s ninth inning after Giolito got two outs and two quick strikes on Gonzalez. “We had thrown four sliders in a row to (Jose) Osuna in the bat before, had gone two straight sliders to Gonzalez,” he said. “My thought process was, ‘Here, let’s let a fastball rip up in the top of the zone, really up at his eyes.’” And then he wanted to close his eyes as he watched Gonzalez’s line drive slice into right field. Giolito admitted that he’d left his pitch a little lower than desired, figuring that McCann had wanted him to “throw it to the backstop.” “He put a really good swing on it,” he added. “But that’s part of a no-hitter. There’s always that one play, right? And I guess that was the one.” Engel made the play, completing a no-hitter that Giolito said belonged to the entire team. “A no-hitter is not all the pitcher… ever,” he said. And “a huge part of what happened tonight,” he added, was the catcher. “We have a lot of different personalities in our clubhouse, it’s fantastic,” Giolito said, “but James can get along perfectly with each one.” And especially with a pitcher bent on zero hits. email: mpatton@newspress.com

Vice President Mike Pence addressed the nation during the third night of the Republican National Convention. The vice president delivered his speech Wednesday from Fort McHenry in Maryland, where the raising of the American flag during the War of 1812 inspired Francis Scott Key’s “The StarSpangled Banner.” Wednesday’s speakers also included second lady Karen Pence and White House adviser Kellyanne Conway, who announced Sunday that she would leave her job at the end of

The National Basketball Association and the NBA Players’ Association announced that all three playoff games scheduled for Wednesday were postponed. The Milwaukee Bucks were the first team to decide not to take the floor for their Game 5 against the Orlando Magic. Shortly after, the games between Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Lakers and Portland Trailblazers were also postponed.

The games will be rescheduled, according to the association. According to ESPN Senior NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowski, team owners and front offices “didn’t see this wave of player boycotts” coming on Wednesday. “Hours ago, they all expected to be playing these games tonight,” Wojnarowski posted to Twitter Wednesday afternoon. “This is a pivot point for the NBA and professional sports in North America.”

The WNBA canceled its games, and the games between the Milwaukee Brewers and Cincinnati Reds, Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres, as well as the Dodgers and San Francisco Giants, were also canceled. The boycotts come in the wake of 29-year-old Jacob Blake, a black man, being shot from behind seven times by a police officer in Kenosha, Wis. on Sunday. Police were attempting to arrest Blake during a domestic

Salud Carbajal disputes Andy Caldwell’s claims U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, took issue with some claims made by Republican challenger Andy Caldwell during his virtual town hall last Saturday, which dealt mainly with support for local law enforcement. Mr. Caldwell claimed Rep. Carbajal was in support of the BREATHE Act, a bill that has not yet been introduced to Congress but aims to divest taxpayer money from the policing system and

create a new vision for public safety. According to the congressman’s communications director, Mannal Haddad, Rep. Carbajal does not support defunding the police nor does he support the BREATHE Act. Ms. Haddal also disputed Mr. Caldwell’s claim about the impact of Rep. Carbajal’s bill — the Defend New Americans Act. Mr. Caldwell claimed that under Rep. Carbajal’s bill, “we

would not be able to denaturalize that person and kick them back from wherever they came from. He wants them to be a permanent citizen and resident of the United States.” Ms. Haddal said, “That bill does not prevent the DOJ (Department of Justice) from denaturalizing someone whose actions warrants that penalty.” Lastly, Mr. Caldwell implied the congressman did not have the backing of law enforcement,

according to Ms. Haddal. However, Ms. Haddal noted Rep. Carbajal was endorsed by PORAC (Peace Officers Research Association of California), the state’s largest law enforcement organization and the largest statewide association in the nation.
