Holiday Tree arrives on State Street

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A Santa Barbara tradition for more than 20 years arrived Tuesday night, just in time for the holiday season.

The 45-foot Holiday Tree was delivered to the 1300 block

of State Street around 5 p.m.

Tuesday.

As a product of the collaboration between Downtown Santa Barbara, the city of Santa Barbara, Public Works and city arborists, the tree was procured from a sustainable farm where they

plant four trees for every one harvested.

“It just really brings some new annual holiday spirit, and it’s especially important this year, in this challenging year, to bring some really good energy, especially to the 1300 block,” Robin Elander,

Downtown Santa Barbara’s executive director, told the News-Press.

Consumer Fire Products is a cosponsor of the tree, and Big Red Crane Company helped install it.

SBCC to cancel seasons for 10 sports

By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Santa Barbara City College’s fall sports seasons, which had been delayed until the spring semester by the COVID19 pandemic, were canceled altogether by the college earlier this week.

The decision affects 10 Vaquero sports including football. The others are men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s basketball, women’s water polo, women’s golf, women’s volleyball, and men’s and women’s cross country.

SBCC Superintendent and President Dr. Utpal K. Goswami made the announcement on Wednesday, saying the decision had been made “out of an abundance of caution.”

“We are faced with continuously changing conditions and restrictions that post a significant challenge for our athletic teams,” Dr. Goswami said in a statement. “This was a very difficult and disappointing decision to make but after a lot of collaboration and input from many sources, we decided this was the best option for our students and staff.

“Health and safety are always the most important consideration.”

The California Community College Athletic Association announced in mid-July that it would be moving its fall sports calendar to the spring semester.

RAFAEL MALDONADO/NEWS-PRESS

The 16th annual Westmont Christmas festival, “Ris’n with Healing in His Wings,” will be posted online at 5 p.m. Friday.

The festival will be available at westmont.edu/festival and remain available throughout the month of December.

The performance is prerecorded and brings the audience throughout Westmont’s campus as members of the Westmont Orchestra and College Choir, Chamber Singers and Choral Union perform.

Narration will be woven between songs to tell the Biblical Christmas story.

Dr. Michael Shasberger, Adams professor of music and worship, hopes the theme will help bring the Christmas spirit even in a difficult year.

“Music and readings remind us of God’s presence and grace in all things, even if we don’t understand the trials,” he said in

a news release.

Listeners can expect classics like “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing”, “Carol of the Bells” and “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.”

New for this year’s Christmas season, Westmont is presenting Advent concerts with Steve Bell Dec. 11, 18 and 24 at westmont. edu/celebrateadvent.

Mr. Bell, a Canadian Christian songwriter and storyteller, incorporates poetry, music and history into a reflective Advent experience.

He has 20 solo albums and many awards, including Gospel Music Association of Canada Covenant Awards: 2018 Album of the Year for “Where the Good Way Lies.” He has also co-authored Christian books, including “Pilgrim Year.”

A devotional download is available with each concert.

Access to the concerts is free, and donations are accepted.

Kiwifruit What a treat it is to have this delicious kiwifruit harvest now available at our markets.

Available from both the Kendrick Family of Catlin Ranch in Carpinteria (certified organic) and Bob Criswell of Mallard Lake Ranch located in Nipomo, this tangy, full flavored fruit is one of the healthiest additions you can incorporate into your winter diet.

You can pick up a bag at the Saturday and Tuesday Santa Barbara farmers’ markets.

Price averages about $4 per pound.

Hachia persimmons There are two varieties of persimmons available at the farmers market, both with very different textures and functions. The more common commercial variety is the hachia, which belongs in the astringent category, and should always be eaten when soft.

When unripe, they possess an extremely unpleasant bitter flavor. As they begin to turn ripe and soften, the fruits tannins become inert and the astringency disappears, yielding a sweet, soft and delicious persimmon.

They are currently available at the weekly Saturday Santa Barbara, Sunday Camino Real Marketplace, Tuesday Santa Barbara, Wednesday Solvang and Thursday Carpinteria farmers’ markets. Price averages about $2 per pound.

“I’ve had to learn how to present ideas in the most positive ways to help them preserve their self-confidence,” Kenny Loggins said being about a mentor to local youths.

Sunshine kabocha squash This has consistently been my favorite winter squash variety year in and year out.

Kabocha squash is one of the most full-flavored varieties out there, delivering a sweet and nutty flavor with a smooth stringless texture when cooked.

Due to its deep orange pigmented flesh, kabocha squash is loaded with the essential antioxidant betacarotene, enough to supply almost 150% of the daily value for Vitamin A. You get all that from 1 cup of cooked squash.

You can find this winter favorite at the weekly Saturday Santa Barbara, Sunday Camino Real Marketplace, Tuesday Santa Barbara, Wednesday Solvang and Thursday Carpinteria farmers’ markets. Price averages $1.50 per pound.

enny Loggins challenged “American Idol” contestant Sofia Schuster to try something different in a concert.

In this case, it was more about walking than singing.

Mr. Loggins explained he wanted Sofia, who was a San Marcos High School sophomore when she appeared last winter on ABC’s “American Idol,” to approach a “Footloose” song as a “strutting rock chick.”

“She had never done anything like that,” Mr. Loggins told the News-Press recently. “I showed her how to walk from one side of the stage to another.”

The acclaimed Montecito rocker’s advice came last year during The Adderley School for the Performing Arts’ production saluting the 35th anniversary of “Footloose,” the musical movie that immortalized Mr. Loggins’ rendition of the song of the same name. The Marjorie Luke Theatre concert, which featured young singers under Mr. Loggins’ mentorship, raised money for the Unity Shoppe and The Santa Barbara Youth Ensemble Theatre Scholarship Fund.

Mr. Loggins has provided a lot of mentorship to Sofia Schuster, Lauren Cantin and other talented youths who have sung at concerts to help local causes such as the previously mentioned Unity Shoppe and aid to people affected by the Montecito debris flow.

(Lauren is a debris flow survivor.)

One such performance was Teens Sing for Santa Barbara, a 2018 concert that was presented in partnership with the Unity Shoppe. It raised $65,000 for the people affected by the Montecito debris flow.

“Some of those kids will be singing with me on (this month’s) Unity Telethon, only virtually,” Mr. Loggins said, referring to modifications because of the pandemic. (The telethon is set for 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. Dec. 12 on KEYTTV, Channel 3.)

Earlier this year, Sofia told the News-Press that Mr. Loggins has mentored her since her early teens. After his coaching, she won Teen Star Santa Barbara last year and appeared last winter on “American Idol,” where judge Lionel Richie gave her an A-plus for her songwriting. (Another “American Idol” judge, Montecito singer and Dos Pueblos High School alum Katy Perry, told Sofia she reminded her of herself at age 15.)

Sofia has sung with other youths and Mr. Loggins online during programs such as this year’s local Earth Day Festival, which, like other concerts during the pandemic, became virtual.

“He’s been such an incredible mentor,” Sofia said about Mr. Loggins. “He’s given me such great opportunities to perform with him.

“He’s also taught me a lot about singing and songwriting, and he’s always there if I need a little bit of help,” she said. “ ‘Kenny, I need help with this melody or with this chord progression. Can I get your advice?’ He’s always there to give me the advice.

“Kenny has taught me a lot about the structure of songs and just being able to write a song right off the bat,” she said.

Sofia expressed gratitude for Mr. Loggins’ influence on her music.

“I think just having that person I can turn to has had a really big impact on my life these past few years,” Sofia said.

Kerri Murray, Sofia’s mother, talked to the News-Press about how Mr. Loggins, the Santa Barbara-based Adderley School, Please see positive on A4

Santa Barbara teenager Sofia Schuster, who won Teen Star Santa Barbara last year and competed on “American Idol” this year, praised Mr. Loggins for helping her. “ ‘Kenny, I need help with this melody or with this chord progression. Can I get your advice?’ He’s always there to give me the advice.”

Young talented singers will perform with Montecito rocker Kenny Loggins during the annual Unity Shoppe telethon. It is scheduled for 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. Dec. 12 on KEYT-TV, Channel 3. For more information, go to unityshoppe.org.

Fix of the Week

F

actors such as preparation goals vary from item to item when I decide whether I am planning to peel my fresh fruits and vegetables.

With regards to carrots, for example, when consuming one right out of the bag, I never tend to peel them before crunching down on the sweet root vegetable.

But when making carrots sticks for hummus, or adding to a soup or roasted vegetable tray, the peeler typically makes an appearance.

For cucumbers, I almost never peel them, unless the skin is particularly robust.

I also don’t peel tomatoes unless I’m making a pasta sauce

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2020 or salsa. In that case, tomatoes are quickly placed in boiling water to assist in removing the skins. I peel my apples when making a crisp or pie, but not when enjoyed in its raw state.

Potatoes, winter squash, peppers and beets too can swing in either direction depending on the objective.

One fresh fruit that I peeled 100 percent of the time until just a couple of years ago is kiwifruit.

The fuzzy brown skin can seem quite unappealing at first, but when grower Bob Criswell of Mallard Lake Ranch pointed out that he often consumes the fruit and skin in unison, I decided to give it a go.

After a quick rinse to remove the little hairs on the fruit’s exterior, I bit in and was pleasantly surprised.

I didn’t need any utensils to cut the kiwifruit in half and then scoop out the flesh, which can be cumbersome, particularly when enjoying on the go. Sure, the texture isn’t quite as smooth than when the skins are absent, but they are much more enjoyable than expected.

If you’re still on the fence about enjoying kiwifruit, skins and all, the enhanced nutritional benefits of this superfood may be enough of a motivator. Consuming the skins with the kiwifruit can increase its fiber contact by 50%, can raise the vitamin E levels by nearly 35% and can increase folate levels by just over 30%.

To this date, I do have times

Continued from Page A3 Girls Rock Santa Barbara and others have helped Sofia. “She’s been part of a community that hasn’t pushed her to be perfect. It has pushed her to be brave. She’s been really brave in her creative choices and music choices.�

Sofia’s mentor, Mr. Loggins, explained how he helped Sofia prepare for the “Footloose� concert. “It’s hard to define,� he told the News-Press recently. “It was everything from talking about technique and phrasing to how long to hold a note to how to portray her character in particular when we did the ‘Footloose’ music.�

As Mr. Loggins thought about characterization, he encouraged Sofia to strut across the stage.

The father of five children, Mr. Loggins said he enjoys working with young people. “My daughter Hana, who’s my youngest and is a singersongwriter, has taught me how to talk to young people,� Mr. Loggins said.

He explained he learned from observing Hana about how to coach singers and offer suggestions in ways that are encouraging instead of discouraging. “I’ve had to learn how to present ideas in the most positive ways to help them preserve their selfconfidence.�

This week I prepared a seasonal fruit salad, incorporating fresh persimmons and pomegranates, both prolific this time of year.

Seasonal kiwifruit salad 6 kiwifruits, ripe but firm 2 Fuyu persimmons, ends trimmed, cut into small cubes 1 pomegranate, skins and membrane discarded, seeds and surrounding pulp only ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped 1-2 limes, juiced

Pinch of salad Optional, thinly sliced jalapeno 3 ounces feta cheese, cut into small cubes Âź cup nuts, such as pistachios, walnuts or almonds Aged balsamic vinegar While you can trim the ends and slice with the skins on, for this dish I remove the skins and cut into either rounds or cubes. In a mixing bowl, combine Fuyu persimmon, pomegranate seeds, cilantro leaves, lime juice, pinch of salt and jalapeno (if using). Toss. Then gently toss in kiwifruit, feta cheese and nuts. Plate and drizzle with aged balsamic vinegar.

SANTA BARBARA — The Santa Barbara City College Theatre Arts Department awarded six students as winners of this year’s Sara Evelyn Smith Monologue Competition. They each received $1,000 in scholarship funds.

The winners for the 202021 school year are: Marianne Paculba, Ida Wadman, Maria Lopez, Henry Alper, Haoyu Wang and Isaac Hernandez.

The students presented monologues via Zoom and were judged by theatre arts faculty and Anne Smith Towbes, a past SBCC Foundation board member who played an instrumental role in establishing the competition in 2001.

The Sara Evelyn Smith Scholarships in Theatre Arts honor their namesake, a woman who spent over 50 years educating students in theatre arts. She acted in many productions, taught in Detroit and directed musicals and youth theatre for most of her life.

Her son, the late Bob Smith, owned KEYT-TV and her daughter-in-law Anne was a theatre arts educator as well as past president of the Board of Directors of the Lobero Theatre. — Annelise Hanshaw

HOROSCOPE

ARIES — Your self-esteem may be challenged by a fast-paced talker or unpleasant situation, Aries. Don’t accept things as they appear at first glance. There’s a much deeper meaning brewing below the surface, and you’d be foolish not to recognize this when it comes around. Stick to your guns and stay grounded. Newfangled devices and big promises may not be all they’re advertised to be.

TAURUS — Jump on board the fast train and see how far it takes you, Taurus. You will be surprised how far you can go with minimal effort. Your grace and polite manners will help you navigate to where you need to be. You’re your own ship and there is a large gust of wind filling your sails. Make the most of this energy by shooting for the top and not resting until you get there.

GEMINI — Flexibility is important today, Gemini. Take the relaxed, laid-back approach.

Trying to ram your ideas through isn’t the best tactic. Having tunnel vision will restrict you in many ways. Keep an open mind and be receptive to other people’s ideas and opinions. You have a great deal of power at your fingertips. It would be a shame to waste it by not having the breadth of vision to see all your options.

CANCER — Things coming at you from all sides are forcing you to make a move, Cancer. Try not to feel pressured into something you don’t want to do. A nervous restlessness is apt to take over your being and urge you to act. Don’t let other people’s energies dictate your actions. Secure your position and be strong. Don’t be lured into situations you know are bad for you.

LEO — Lock into the practical, grounding force that is not only realistic but also flexible. Attend to details and organize yourself, Leo. Be aware that you may need to alter your course in order to fit with the group energy. Try to work together with those around you to achieve a common goal. Initiating the help of others is easier than you think as long as you stay focused and motivated.

VIRGO — Today is one of those days in which prosperity is much closer than you think, Virgo. You will find what you seek, but it’s up to you to take the first step to going after it. More than likely, you’re looking for solid answers to your deep and probing questions. Don’t +*#!2 +1$)"$ let your inquisitive mind rest until you find the answers that ring true

for you.

LIBRA — Indecision may leave you helpless at a crossroads today, Libra. Others around you could be just as undecided regarding their direction. At the same time, you may feel pressured to take immediate action and you’re tired of waiting for others to make the first move. Find answers in simple solutions. There’s more than one correct way to go. Your choice is the right one if you believe it.

SCORPIO — Latch on to the expansiveness that comes when you connect with others in the social arena, Scorpio.

Communication is a key part of the day. You will find that if you go with the flow, you will land exactly where you need to be. Take the adventurous route and feel free to skip around from one thing to another. There’s no need to pin yourself down to only one way of doing something.

SAGITTARIUS — Connect with the stable, grounding energy of the day, Sagittarius, but beware that tension may come in the form of fast talk and misguided information. People might be fickle and frantic. Wait for the dust to settle before you pick which road to take. Impulsive decisions are apt to lead you down paths that might not be the best choice for you now. Try not to think too much!

CAPRICORN — The expansive feeling you might be experiencing is apt to be squelched today as you get the feeling that you’ve lost touch with reality. Make sure you connect with real life, Capricorn, and do a bit of planning to balance your whimsical nature. Things that you haven’t accounted for might crop up and hit you, serving as a reminder that you need to deal with the here and now.

AQUARIUS — Walk to the beat of your own drum, Aquarius. If you try to latch on to the glib, fastpaced information of the day, you might lose your voice in the crowd.

On the other hand, if you plant your feet firmly and try to plan in too much detail, you might deprive yourself of spontaneous events that prove fulfilling. Chart your own course, and don’t be afraid if no one else comes along.

PISCES — Talk to the person sitting next to you on the bus, Pisces, or the one behind you in line at the store. He or she may have a piece of wisdom to share that will change your life forever.

Know that you, too, could be that person who changes someone else’s life with a single thought or piece of wisdom. Communication is the key to expanding your world in many ways.

Codeword is a fun game with simple rules, and a great way to test your knowledge of the English language.

Everyâ&#x20AC;Żnumber in the codeword grid is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;codeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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.

This ordinance would authorize the Public Works Director to issue encroachment permits to business and community entities to operate some permitted operations temporarily in the County Rightof-Way. It also would provide for waiver of permit fees for these encroachment permits and the temporary use of the County Right-of Way would be permitted only if certain requirements are satisfied.

The Public Works Director may adopt administrative regulations applicable to the issuance of a special encroachment permit for reopening of businesses and community entities during the COVID19 pandemic response. Such regulations may, without limitation, include the following: 1. A requirement that the applicant provide proof of insurance in the amount of one million dollars naming the County of Santa Barbara as additional insured.

2. A requirement that the applicant sign an indemnification agreement, provided by the Department, that holds the County of Santa Barbara, its officers, agents, and employees harmless for any actions of the applicant, its agents, and employees.

3. A requirement that the applicant meet minimum aesthetic and safety standards for design, seating and parking, including both on site and within the adjacent County roadway right-ofway.

4. Such other conditions as may be necessary to protect public health and safety or to protect public improvements.

5. A requirement that the applicant coordinate with other County departments or entities that may be affected by the proposed encroachment, including County of Santa Barbara Environmental Health Services, County of Santa Barbara Planning and Development Department, and the County of Santa Barbara Fire Department.

6. Any requirement deemed necessary to guarantee that the applicant shall restore the appearance of the sidewalk or County roadway right-of-way on termination of use.

7. Setback and clearance standards for all reasonable pedestrian uses of the sidewalk, as well as for unusual or occasional public uses that can be anticipated.

8. Maintenance standards for the outdoor dining area.

9. A requirement that the applicant follow all State and local directives regarding reopening of businesses or community entities during the COVID-19 pandemic response, including the businessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, community entityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, or siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certification or attestation and COVID-19 protection plan.

The hearing item considered by the Board of Supervisors includes the following items: Â&#x2021; Adoption of an Ordinance amending Chapter 28, to add Chapter 28B, Special Encroachment Permits Related to COVID-19 Pandemic Response, which authorizes the Public Works Director to issue special encroachment permits for operations by businesses and community entities in County roadway rights-of-way until the proclaimed Santa Barbara County Local Emergency based on the COVID-19 virus is terminated or this Ordinance is otherwise earlier terminated; and Â&#x2021; Determine that the adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), 15269(c), 15301, 15303, and 15305.

The Board of Supervisors meeting begins at 9:00 a.m. The order of items listed on the agenda is subject to change by the Board. Anyone interested in this matter is invited to speak on the project.

Rocco Constantino, in his fourth year as athletic director at SBCC, said the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams would continue their classroom workouts even though 10 upcoming sports seasons were canceled this week.

sbcc

Continued from Page A1 a Dec. 18 deadline for having their fall sports opt out altogether.

The spiraling count of COVID19 cases in Santa Barbara County prompted SBCC to make that call two weeks before the deadline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we make difficult decisions like this, I always lean on the mission statement of Santa Barbara City College and our athletics department,â&#x20AC;? athletic director Rocco Constantino said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am confident that we can continue to meet our mission without providing competition in the early spring window. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were very happy with the way our fall physical education classes went and hope to continue on that same process with an eye towards increased activities as the COVID-19 situation allows.â&#x20AC;?

The CCCAA has set a Feb. 26 deadline for schools to opt out of the later seasons of baseball, softball, menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball, womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beach volleyball, menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf, womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swimming and diving, menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tennis, and menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s track and field.

The SBCC football team, like other Vaquero squads, has been working out throughout the fall in a classroom setting. Official football practice was set to begin on Jan. 18, with the season to start the following month.

Craig Moropoulos, quarterback of SBCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mission Bowl team of 1979 and its head coach since 2007, informed his football team

of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision during a meeting on Monday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest move to the purple (widespread) tier, we knew it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looking too positive,â&#x20AC;? Mr. Moropoulos said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all disappointed, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be pretty naĂŻve if you think the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s situation wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to affect this negatively. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our message to our players is that this is just a bump in a road, that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to handle it and move on, and get better, and somehow, and in some way, turn a negative into a real positive.â&#x20AC;?

SBCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sports classes and practices will continue â&#x20AC;&#x153;as the state and county will allow,â&#x20AC;? Mr. Constantino said.

The schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on-campus football workouts drew a turnout of 82 players this fall with nearly 40 others taking the football class remotely. The Vaqueros were able to use sanitized footballs when the county dropped into the red (substantial) tier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the protocols were still in place, but we were able to do some other things to get better,â&#x20AC;? Mr. Moropoulos said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Considering the situation, it was a very positive fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re focusing on now is the fact that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a good amount of guys work hard over the fall, and we want to keep them involved and engaged to whatever extent we can. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to have some development over the spring and get ready for the fall of 2021.â&#x20AC;? email: mpatton@newspress.com

END-OF-SEASON

UCSBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sow nominated for National Mid-Major Player of the Year Award

By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

UCSBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Amadou Sow was nominated this week for a national basketball award, but what he really wants is the national tournament bid that comes with a Big West Conference championship.

The Gauchos finished second in the league standings during each of Sowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous two seasons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m tired of being second,â&#x20AC;? he said after making the official Watch List of the Lou Henson Mid-Major National Player of the Year Award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The coaches are tired of it, and so is every player in the locker room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all trying to go out and play really hard and come out first this year. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our goal.â&#x20AC;?

Sow, who returns to action at the Thunderdome tonight in a 5 p.m. game against Bethesda, is one of 50 players from 21 mid-major conferences chosen to the Henson Award Watch List. The award, sponsored by collegeinsider.com, honors the former Illinois and New Mexico State head coach who won 775 games in 41 seasons.

Sow, a 6-foot-9 junior, has twice been voted to the All-Big West Conference Second Team and he was selected to this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Preseason All-Big West First Team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The good thing about Amadou is that he loves the game,â&#x20AC;? coach Joe Pasternack said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked extra hard and just eats and breathes basketball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But on top of that, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the total student-athlete. After 2½ years at UCSB, he has a gradepoint average above 3.0. And what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m most proud of is that, being from Mali, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done this with English being his fourth language. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing so well here academically speaks to who he is as a total student-athlete and to our academic support system. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very self-motivated and high-character individual who can also play basketball really well.â&#x20AC;?

Sow ranked among the Big West leaders in four categories last year: scoring average (fourth at 14.1 points per game), fieldgoal percentage (first at 54.7%), rebound average (second at 7.03), and blocked-shot average (third at 1.13). He also developed a threepoint shot, making 38.1% from long range.

He concentrated on his inside game during this past offseason. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working on my finishes,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been

trying to work my way through double-teams and find my teammates. I think the main improvement for me is being able to handle pressure down there.â&#x20AC;?

Sow scored 20 points on 10-for12 shooting in UCSBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sunday opener against Saint Katherine, an NAIA school from San Marcos.

He also had five rebounds and two assists in 19 minutes of action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He keeps getting better because he works so hard and is so consumed with the game,â&#x20AC;?

Pasternack said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Experience automatically improves you, and I think he knows our system better, and knows where to be and what to do. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a better player this year than last year.â&#x20AC;?

Sow said the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great depth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which includes his 6-10 backup, Robinson Idehen â&#x20AC;&#x201D; keeps this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gauchos from depending on any one player. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The good thing is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next man up,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If somebody isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t playing great, the guy coming in is going to have great energy and ready to do well. Everybody is really good on this team.â&#x20AC;?

The Gauchos, who were without all-league senior guard JaQuori McLaughlin in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opener, out-shot Saint Katherineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 55.6% to 38.3% and out-rebounded them 47-26. McLaughlin was sidelined with a minor muscle strain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing better but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wait to see how he does in practice

Two high school swimming stars commit to Westmont

By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Westmont College has added depth to its pool this week after receiving commitments from two more high school womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swimming recruits.

Coach Jill Jones Lin announced that Rosevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Olivia Garrison and Chino Hillsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Emmeline Larsson have both signed with the Warriors. They join Burbankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ella Chaisson, who committed to Westmont last month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Despite being in quarantine, strange swim practice hours and remote schooling, Olivia has seen many time improvements in her events this summer,â&#x20AC;? coach Jones Lin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was inspired by her commitment to improve in her swimming and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m grateful for the opportunity to coach Olivia next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And Emmeline is an incredible addition to our team and I am thrilled to have her join us next year. She is highly motivated and an all-around great teammate.â&#x20AC;?

Garrison, a senior at Granite Bay High School, was a CIF SacJoaquin Section finalist as both a freshman and a sophomore.

She placed ninth in the 500-yard freestyle and 12th in the 200 free at the 2019 championships, while also helping Granite Bay win the 4x100 free relay. Her junior season was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Her personal bests include 55.58 in the 100 free, 1:58.70 in the 200 free, 5:15.37 in the 500 free, and 10:49.52 in the 1000 free. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am excited to continue my swimming with an incredible coaching staff and team,â&#x20AC;?

Garrison said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to be a part of and contribute to this new team, while growing in my swimming ability and relationship

with God. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got to meet the team when I visited last month and everyone was so welcoming and friendly.â&#x20AC;?

Garrison, who also swims for the Sierra Marlins Swim Club, plans to major in religious studies at Westmont with the goal of pursuing mission work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Christ-centered environment of Westmont drew me in and made me feel at home,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the tight-knit community that the campus brings. Coming from such a large high school in Granite Bay, I am excited to be able to get more individual attention to further develop myself and reach my goals.â&#x20AC;?

Larsson, a senior at Ruben S. Ayala High School, is a two-time Palomares League champion with four conference records under her belt. She holds personal-best times of 25.61 in the 50 free and 56.45 seconds in the 100 free. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I am most looking forward to about swimming at Westmont is being a part of a team of tightly knit women who encourage each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success and improvements, in and out of the pool,â&#x20AC;? Larsson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The team supports you toward personal improvement and the coaches work with you personally.â&#x20AC;?

Larsson, who swims club for BiCounty Regional Elite Aquatics, said she is planning to follow the pre-med track at Westmont â&#x20AC;&#x153;with the goal of going on to medical school after completing my bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.â&#x20AC;?

Westmont womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swimming, having already competed in one virtual meet this season, is scheduled to compete in another on Dec. 12. email: mpatton@newspress.com

CLEARANCE

(Wednesday) to determine whether he plays (tonight),â&#x20AC;?

Pasternack said on Wednesday.

Bethesda, a Christian College located in Anaheim, is a member of the Pacific Coast Athletic Conference. The Flames scheduled four other Big West opponents, having already lost to Cal Poly and UC Irvine. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll face Cal State Bakersfield and Cal State Fullerton later this month.

The Gauchos moved their game against Bethesda up from Saturday to Thursday because of scheduling complications caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. UCSB had to postpone three earlier games, leading to its latest start to a season since it beat Wagner in overtime, 77-74, during the first round of the Gaucho Classic on Dec. 1, 1994.

Frantz Pierre-Louis, the father of current UCSB sophomore Josh Pierre-Louis, was a freshman on that Wagner team.

The competition has been intense during the Gauchosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; extended weeks of practice, Pasternack said. Even without McLaughlin, 10 Gauchos played at least 13 minutes on Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They all know that no matter where they are today, they might be in a different place on the depth chart a week or a month from now,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have the ability to motivate with our bench. We have a standard, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to drop the standard.â&#x20AC;?

Pasternack said his team didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live up to that standard during the final 10 minutes of Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game when Saint Katherineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scored 21 of its 55 points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to be locked in for a full 40 minutes,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that the other night. We have to get better at our transition defense. We have to get better at getting back and stopping the ball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also have to take great shots. Sometimes we settled for a poor shot selection. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a game of percentages, and the team that takes the highest percentage of shots wins.â&#x20AC;?

Supervisors receive updates on racial equity, law enforcement reform

By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors held another hearing on advancing racial equity and inclusion in the county and making changes to its criminal justice system at its Tuesday meeting.

During the meeting, the board received updates on recommendations for how to use funds allocated toward these aims.

This was the board’s third hearing on racial equity and law enforcement reform, which were kicked off in the wake of the death of George Floyd in May. Four supervisors present at the meeting voted to accept the updates, revisit the item at a later date for more updates, to give greater discretion to staff in determining how to distribute $20,000 to BIPOC (black, indigenous, and people of color) artists and culture programs, and add additional phrases to the county’s proposed statement of commitment to advancing equity and inclusion.

Tuesday’s special meeting was not initially put on the calendar. Fourth District Supervisor and Vice Chair Peter Adam was not present due to a prior commitment.

According to the meeting’s board letter, the $20,000 for BIPOC artists is part of an effort to “develop greater cross-cultural understanding, support, and respectful communication practices” by “listening and learning” from the county’s minority communities. It is the majority of $30,000 set aside for this purpose, with the remaining $10,000 for “the broader community in conversations beyond the arts.”

First District Supervisor Das Williams recommended giving staff from the county’s Community Services Department greater discretion in determining what amount of money a certain arts group should receive.

While in favor of the drafted statement of commitment toward promoting equity and inclusion, 3rd District Supervisor Joan Hartmann floated the idea of adding a phrase answering why the county is adopting the statement.

While she acknowledged an explanation may go against the idea that the principles in the statement are “self-evident,” Ms. Hartmann said she believes this addition will create trust, commitment, a sense of pride, and “investment in the mission.”

During the meeting, decreasing the average daily jail population was a frequent topic, which Board Chair and 2nd District Supervisor Gregg Hart called the “linchpin” of the board’s efforts to promote racial equality and reform law enforcement.

Strategies recommended to the board for reducing the average daily population of the County Jail included conducting a review of pending citations and determining which ones are appropriate for continued citation.

According to the update in the meeting’s agenda letter, of the 2,480 pending citation cases for the period between March 1 and July 15, the District Attorney’s Office has disposed of 49% of them using its “discretion to reject, divert, or dismiss.”

Though not a major topic of discussion among the supervisors during Tuesday’s meeting, Ms. Hartmann raised the subject of a civilian

oversight committee for the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office. She said it has been the “number one request” Black Lives Matter has made to the county regarding criminal justice reform.

Later in the meeting, Sheriff Bill Brown addressed the subject and remarked that an oversight committee is unnecessary and would divert funds away from the Sheriff’s Office and eat up precious staff time. The sheriff added that his department is already understaffed and underfunded.

“These are functions which don’t come for free,” he said.

“They don’t come cheap, and my fear is that they would divert precious funds that could be and should be used to bolster what is being done in terms of progressive law enforcement in our community.”

In addition to being a great expense that the county can’t likely afford, Sheriff Brown said that the Sheriff’s Office hasn’t been involved in the incidents of misconduct that normally lead to the formation of such oversight committees, and that many of the worst law enforcement misconduct incidents have happened in places that have such committees.

“We have seen example after example of where some of the most disturbing law enforcement-related incidents have occurred in communities that have these types of oversight groups,” he said.

One method of holding the Sheriff’s Office accountable, he said, occurs every four years.

“I would submit to you that we have the ultimate oversight…

That the sheriff has to be elected every four years just to keep his or her job in the community,” he said. email: jgrega@newspress.com

The Holiday Tree is part of an effort by Downtown Santa Barbara to bring life to that section of State Street. tree

Continued from Page A1

Products, Inc. are excited to continue our annual tradition of donating the Community Christmas Tree to Santa Barbara,” Irene Rhodes, the owner and CEO of CFPI, said in a statement. “Although we can’t gather together for the Annual Holiday Parade this year, we’re honored to be a part of bringing the community some much-needed joy. We wish everyone a safe and lovely holiday season.”

The Holiday Tree is part of an effort by Downtown Santa Barbara to bring life to that section of State Street.

The State Street Promenade Market comes to the 900 and 1000 blocks of State Street every Thursday from 3 to 7:30 p.m. Attendees can shop from local vendors while enjoying festive lights.

Visit Santa Barbara also provided an online, locally made gift guide for Christmas shopping.

Residents can support local businesses this year by shopping at boutiques and other local shops for gifts for their loved ones.

While this Christmas season doesn’t look quite like its predecessors, some things never change, and the Holiday Tree will stand tall on State Street through it all, for everyone’s enjoyment. email: gmccormick@ newspress.com

Goleta City Council votes to keep subcommittee appointment process inclusive

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

In its regular meeting on Tuesday, the Goleta City Council unanimously voted to allow each council member to weigh in on the selection of one planning commissioner.

The proposed ordinance codifies the interim process for mayoral appointments of members of the public to city and regional boards, commissions and committees established shortly after the 2018 municipal election, but not the mayor’s appointment of council members to regional boards, commissions and committees.

This process, which remains consistent with the vision of the council and the mayor, will have the city clerk advertise for and accept applications. Then, the council will conduct interviews and each council member will announce their preferred

candidate for the vacant position.

Finally, the mayor will make appointments from the list of candidates and bring the final decisions back to the council for approval.

“This is a result of us moving to a directive elected mayoral system, so this is one of the things that was talked about early on, was that the mayor was going to be in a position of having some authority and having some power that the mayor didn’t used to have when we were in a position where the council selected the mayor from among the council,” said Mayor Pro Tempore Kyle Richards. “I think this is a good proposal.”

Mayor Paula Perotte said she likes the idea of keeping the process inclusive.

“I felt like, except for the planning commission, we’ve always decided as a whole, and I really felt like I wanted to continue that,” she said.

“I feel like it’s worked pretty successfully. We do a good job of interviewing and deliberating on our selection.”

In other business, the council received a report on the city’s fiscal year 2020/21 first quarter financial review and approved the recommended general fund budget adjustments, which will result in a net increase of $119,300 to the overall fund balance of the general fund.

The recommended expenditure budget adjustment of $161,600 is reprogramming the current budget available in general government/support services to other departments because of COVID-19.

Finally, the council received a presentation on the status of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation.

Santa Barbara County Association of Governments is currently developing the methodology for the sixth cycle

RHNA for the Santa Barbara County region, and will be significantly higher because of new state requirements.

The new state requirements hold higher vacancy assumptions and address existing housing problems related to overcrowding and overpayment.

SBCAG staff is seeking a draft RHNA methodology recommendation from the SBCAG Technical Planning Advisory Committee, which the city’s Planning and Environmental Review staff will vote on in its meeting today.

After the recommendation today, SBCAG staff will present the draft to the SBCAG board for approval on Dec. 17, and following that approval, it will be presented to the State Department of Housing and Community Development. email: gmccormick@newspress. com
