“We have to stay vigilant. We have to wear masks. We have to be vaccinated whenever we can get vaccinated,” said Dr. Henning Ansorg, the Santa Barbara County public health officer.

The stay-at-home order has ended. The change represents progress with COVID-19 numbers and Intensive Care Unit capacity, and it means economic relief for businesses hit hard by the pandemic. California health officials lifted the order Monday for Santa Barbara County and the rest of Southern California, along with the Bay Area and the San Joaquin Valley. That means restaurants can again have outdoor dining and barbershops and hair and nail salons can reopen. The change also means museums, aquariums and zoos in Southern California can resume their outdoor operations. All of that is allowed with Santa Barbara County remaining in the purple or most restrictive tier. A county Public Health order, which explained the county is following the previous purple tier rules, takes effect this morning. Under that order, leisure travel can resume

at hotels. The drive-in theaters in Goleta and Santa Maria, which were allowed to remain open during the lockdown, can continue to show movies. Outdoor fitness classes continue to operate. Restrictions that remain in place include the closure of indoor gyms and indoor movie theaters. Under the purple tier, shopping centers can open indoors with 25 percent capacity, but food courts must remain closed. Retail outlets and grocery stores can operate at 25 percent capacity. Family entertainment centers can reopen their outdoor operations with modifications. “This is a long-awaited day for Santa Barbara County’s hard-hit hospitality industry,” said Visit Santa Barbara President/

CEO Kathy Janega-Dykes. “We are grateful to our public officials for lifting some of the restrictions that have taken a heavy toll on so many local workers and struggling businesses,” she said in a statement. “Our community finally can start to get back to work and do what they do best with COVID-19 protocols in place. They are eager to safely welcome back residents and visitors to our restaurants, wineries, retail stores, lodging properties and other attractions.” Remaining closed are bars, breweries and distilleries where no meals are provided. Sports still can’t have audiences. In addition to the end of the regional stayat-home order, the limited stay-at-home order, which limited nonessential activities between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., also expired. In other breaking COVID-19 news, the state is expected to make a decision by today about when essential workers will start getting vaccinated, Dr. Henning Ansorg, the Santa Barbara County public health officer, told the Please see LOCKDOWN on A2

“There have been some slight increases in regional ICU capacity, but I was surprised it was lifted as soon as it was,” said Dr. David Fisk, Cottage Health’s medical director for infectious disease control and prevention.

For 30 years, the Beachside BarCafe at Goleta Beach Park has been Amado Simon’s home away from home. Mr. Simon spent his teenage years washing dishes at Beachside, and eventually, he worked his way up the chain to

become the general manager. Some of the locals he still serves today can remember when he was a young man bussing tables. Over the 30 years of his career at Beachside Bar-Cafe, he has seen countless employees form lifelong friendships and even find their spouse on staff at the restaurant. Please see restaurant on A4

Resident on ‘Jeopardy!’ Local trivia expert Henry Michaels has made it onto “Jeopardy!” You can watch the Music Academy of the West official at 7 p.m. Feb. 2 on NBC affiliate KSBY-TV, Channel 6. While Mr. Michaels didn’t perform in front of the game show’s iconic host, the late Alex Trebek, he was very excited to appear on the show, nonetheless. (Acclaimed player Ken Jennings is the guest host until a permanent successor is named.) “Being a contestant on ‘Jeopardy!’ was certainly an unforgettable experience,” Mr. Michaels said in a news release. “Just to make it through the audition and onto the show was a great honor. Although I’m sad to have just missed the tenure of the late great Alex Trebek, being one of the first contestants in the show’s next chapter was rewarding.” At the Music Academy in Montecito, Mr. Michaels is the director of audience experience and engagement. — Gerry Fall

Moxie Café, county team up to help homeless By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

Volunteers distribute nutritious meals to homeless hotel residents three times a day. Since April 2020, Moxie Café has provided thousands of meals for more than 146 homeless individuals as part of Project Roomkey.

To aid Santa Barbara’s homeless population during the COVID-19 pandemic, healthconscious eatery Moxie Café is partnering with Santa Barbara County officials to provide three meals a day to homeless individuals as part of Project Roomkey. For more than 10 months now, health experts have emphasized that the COVID-19 pandemic is very harmful to the most vulnerable populations, which include the more than 1,000 individuals experiencing homelessness in Santa Barbara. Many of them are elderly individuals with underlying conditions, which further exacerbates their susceptibility to COVID-19, according to the CDC. At the start of the pandemic in March 2020, California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the rollout of Project Roomkey, an initiative that allocated over $100 million in state funds to provide hotel lodging for homeless individuals over the age of 65 with underlying health conditions. Since the start of the initiative, Santa Barbara County has provided a safe haven for 146 individuals at a Santa Barbara hotel, according to Kimberly Albers, homeless assistant program manager for Santa Barbara County. The partnership between Moxie Café and Santa Barbara County was born early on when General Manager Roberty Grimmesey jumped at the chance to help the vulnerable homeless community. With health at the

center of Moxie Café’s mission, the cafe has been providing nutritious meals for hotel residents since April 2020. “Part of Moxie Café’s vision is really to promote healthy living, so we felt that this was in our vision, and now we’re just living our vision,” Mr. Grimessey said. Each homeless individual in the hotel is provided with their own room and receives three nutrient-rich meals a day from Moxie Café. Since each resident is either 65 and/ or has underlying medical conditions, Moxie Café is careful to provide meals tailored to the needs of residents. “We serve the dietary guidelines every day,” Mr. Grimessey said. “Pretty much everything you can do to nourish someone’s body, we’re doing that through this partnership with the county.” Nutrient-rich foods are proven to help boost an individual’s immune system, and that is exactly the inspiration behind Moxie Café’s dishes served to residents in the hotel, Mr. Grimmesey said. Since the rollout of Project Roomkey, Ms. Albers said the homeless community housed in the hotel has expressed a lot of gratitude. For months prior to the pandemic, many homeless individuals were sleeping on the streets, in vehicles or in congregate homeless shelters across Santa Barbara. But now, as part of Project Roomkey, homeless individuals are able to sleep in their own room and have access to their own private bathroom. “For many, there can just be this moment of ‘Oh my gosh, I get to sleep when I need

Twice a day, Moxie Café serves hot meals for breakfast and dinner and one cold meal for lunch. Every meal is centered around the nutritional and dietary needs of the homeless residents staying in the hotel.

to’ and ‘I get to shower when I decide,’ ” Ms. Albers said. In many cases, private hotel housing has brought a level of stability and dignity for elderly homeless individuals in the Santa Barbara area. Having stability has even led some hotel residents to land jobs during the pandemic or find permanent housing elsewhere. “Over half of the persons who have exited the hotel have gone into a permanent housing situation so we’re really excited about that,” Ms. Albers said. “(Project Roomkey) is a good model of what can happen when you get someone stable.” email: mhirneirsen@newspress.com

Goleta Valley Library has received a grant for NASA-related STEM kits.

NASA kits coming to libraries The Goleta Valley Library has been awarded a $5,500 Library Services and Technology Act grant to develop STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) kits for all ages in Goleta and the Santa Ynez Valley. The award, which is administered by the state library, will allow staff to create two kits — Sun-Earth-Moon Connections and Be a NASA Detective: Expanding Your Senses. The kits

Carbajal introduces land protection act U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal on Monday introduced the California Land Protection Act. The legislation would block new fracking or oil and gas drilling on federal lands on California’s central and southern coasts. The bill is a response to the Trump administration’s move last year to allow the Bureau of Land Management to pursue oil and gas leasing on more than 1.2 million acres of California land, including Santa Barbara, Ventura and San

This project is called “Reach for the Stars.” “I’m a huge fan of NASA and so excited that the Goleta Valley Library has this opportunity to work with such a great organization to bring STEM activities to the kids in our area,” said Goleta Valley Library Director Allison Gray in a news release. The Reach for the Stars project will address the need for STEM learning in the community,

particularly among underserved populations within the libraries’ service area. The Reach for the Stars kits will be available at the Goleta and Santa Ynez Valley Libraries starting this summer for either virtual or in-person programming, per the extent of library services offered at that time due to the COVID-19 pandemic. More details will be announced this spring. For more information, view the online calendar at www. goletavalleylibrary.org.

Luis Obispo counties. The bill’s co-sponsors include U.S. Reps. Julia Brownley, D-Ventura County, and Jimmy Panetta, D-Carmel Valley. “The Central Coast boasts some of the most beautiful natural treasures in the country and pursuing fracking or oil and gas leasing on public land will only hurt our environment, public health, and recreation economy,” Rep. Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, said in a statement. “Our public land is not for sale. I’m proud to partner with my Central Coast colleagues to prevent the Bureau of Land Management from

exploiting the environment to line the pockets of the oil industry.” Added Rep. Brownley, “Good environmental stewardship is a core tenet of who we are as Ventura County residents. We have a responsibility to protect our lands for future generations and to prevent the exploitation and degradation of our natural resources. “I am proud to co-author the California Land Protection Act, which will protect federal lands within Ventura County from the harmful consequences of drilling and fracking.”

Temperatures are expected to drop throughout the rest of the week, with highs for Wednesday through Friday in the mid-50s. Meteorologists are also monitoring a large storm that is expected to hit the Central Coast Wednesday and Thursday. Santa Barbara is expected to see some showers on Wednesday and Thursday as a result of the storm. Weather officials also warned that

Monday’s winds could cause snow accumulations of three to six inches in the mountains surrounding Santa Barbara. The County Executive Office of Santa Barbara will close East Camino Cielo Road and Gibraltar Road if there are snow accumulations and advises travelers to avoid these routes when there is snow. High winds across Santa Barbara County also caused a few downed trees and telephone poles in various areas around Santa Maria Monday. According to Lael Wageneck, public information officer for Santa Barbara County, the downed trees and poles were primarily in agricultural areas and did not destroy any property. email: mhirniesen@newspress.com

For him, the restaurant is not just a job. It’s a family. So when Beachside announced last week that the restaurant would permanently close at the end of the month, Mr. Simon was devastated. “This is my life,” Mr. Simon told the News-Press Monday. “I spend most of my time here at work. I’m still in shock. I come in, I try to work, I get emotional, and it’s tough. It’s very tough.” Beachside Bar-Cafe announced its closing through a Facebook post Jan. 21, informing customers that the restaurant would remain open for takeout orders until the end of January or until supplies lasts. “We want to thank our local community for your support and patronage through these everchanging times,” the post said. “It is because of you that we had so much success in the 36 long years of business. We share an ethereal love for our customers and have memories that we will cherish forever.” According to Mr. Simon, the rise in minimum wage requirements compounded with COVID-19 shutdowns ultimately led to the restaurant’s closure. For a few months now, the restaurant has struggled to bring in enough revenue to stay afloat. Prior to the pandemic, the restaurant had about 140 employees, but after two COVID-19 lockdowns, the staff has dwindled to between 10 and 15 employees, Mr. Simon said. Since its opening in 1985, Beachside Bar-Cafe has been an iconic spot for local business executives, families and UCSB students alike. Situated at the edge of the water at Goleta Beach Park,

Beachside Bar-Cafe, situated at the edge of the water at Goleta Beach Park, was a comfortable spot for locals to eat and enjoy the ocean view.

many would come to wine and dine at the restaurant and take in the stunning oceanside view. Since the announcement of its closure, locals have reacted with an overwhelming amount of both grief and support, Mr. Simon said. The restaurant has been flooded with takeout orders, and many regulars have said sorrowful goodbyes to the restaurant they supported for decades. “We had a lady come in and say, ‘Now where am I going to get my turkey sandwich?’ ” Mr. Simon said. He later added, “People don’t want us to go.” The announcement of the business closure also prompted waves of reaction from local business officials. “Of all the losses we have suffered, this one seems particularly rough,” Kristin Miller,

CEO of the Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce, said in a statement. “Beachside Café has played a key role in Goleta’s identity for decades.” She continued: “It’s the place we gather for important business meetings when you need to impress — and special occasions for families — graduations, birthdays, anniversaries. This is our special place by the sea. To lose it, not because of lack of support from the community, but because of forces out of our control, is maddening and painful.” On Monday, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the end of Southern California’s stay-at-home orders, a change that, among other things, allows restaurants to reopen for outdoor dining. At 8 o’clock this morning, Santa Barbara County officially

returned to what could be open and closed during the purple tier. The lift on the lockdown could bring much needed revenue back into local restaurants and businesses that were hit particularly hard during the most recent stay-at-home order. But for Beachside Bar-Cafe, a green light to return to outdoor dining may be too little too late. According to Mr. Simon, the decision to close the Goleta landmark is essentially final. It would be up to owner Dave Hardy to reverse course at this point. “I do believe in miracles, but I don’t know,” Mr. Simon said. “It’s really difficult … hopefully we can convince (Dave) to keep fighting on a month by month basis, but we just don’t know.” email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

group of six award-winning chefs, industry veterans, wine connoisseurs and close friends got a little too bored during the pandemic. As a result, they decided to build a brandnew restaurant in downtown Solvang. But it’s hardly just one restaurant. Located at 1635 Mission Drive, Coast Range will be a Central Coast steakhouse and seafood restaurant with a full cocktail bar, a patio, and a daytime cafe and pastry program. The different parts of the restaurant represent each of the chef’s signature styles. The cafe and pastry shop will feature the awardwinning pastries, coffee and casual lunches of Lincoln Carson, a recent finalist for a James Beard Award. Mr. Carson was chef and owner of Bon Temps in downtown Los Angeles, which was recognized as a best new restaurant from Los Angeles Magazine, Los Angeles Times, TimeOut LA, Esquire and Food & Wine. The Solvang restaurant’s Vaquero Bar will offer a wide selection of cocktails, local wine and craft beer, along with an elevated yet casual bar food menu for the outdoor dining patio. World-renowned winemaker, sommelier, author and James Beard Award winner Rajat Parr will curate a focused wine list of the best of the Central Coast, Northern California classics and steak and seafood friendly wines from around the world. Anthony Carron and Steven Fretz will join forces for the steakhouse, which will feature steaks from the historic ranches in the Santa Ynez Valley, including products from the owner’s Santa Ynez ranch and seafood directly from the Santa Barbara wharfs. The menu will feature many classics done California style and French methods of cooking. Both men worked with Chef Michael Mina and have been close friends for years. Mr. Carron founded 800 Degrees Pizza and Top Round, two Los Angeles-based casual dining brands with global reach. Mr. Fretz was a co-founder of Top Round as well Coast Range restaurant and bar in Solvang is still under construction, but chefs hope to open the bar in February if COVID-19 guidance allows.

How to accept missing out

F

OMO is no-mo. There’s no longer the fear of missing out — because there’s nothing to miss out on. For the near future at least, gatherings of almost any kind have been put on hold, or people are doing them small or not at all. Meetings are available on Zoom, and that’s great, but it just isn’t the same as meeting up in person. We have been living a different life, where we never really get together. The good news is that we are actively living — even though it sometimes may not feel like it. And the vaccine is here, folks, so just hang on a little while longer. Millions of people have made major adjustments in their lives, from what they do for a living to how they spend their spare time to how they maintain relationships. Yes, COVID-19 has caused us to lose out on many of the things we love, but by taking the hit now, we are preventing it from going on forever. Of course, that fact doesn’t really take away the pain of not going out, mingling with friends or jamming with your band.

Many people are upset about not being able to go to work the way we used to (even though other people love working from home). If you used to spend more time with your co-workers than your family, and going to the office was something you did every day, then working from home may be hard. That aspect of life may never go entirely back to normal, and many people may continue to work remotely because of the financial benefits for some companies. Whatever changes we end up living with for the rest of our lives, the good news is that we will be alive to enjoy those years. But to get there, we need to continue to be careful during this pandemic. If you stay in for just a little while longer, you will hopefully avoid any illness and be ready for summer or that day when life can really begin again. Remember that now is the most dangerous time to be out and about, so get creative and know

that you have something to look forward to soon enough. Even after the vaccine, I’m not so sure that large crowds in closed spaces like music venues will be advisable. I plan on doing outdoor concerts in the future — and am looking forward to that! We’ll see how it goes. After eating homecooked meals for this long, I’m less excited about dining out than I used to be. I want to support our local restaurants, and we get takeout pretty often these days. But I’ve also begun to appreciate the benefits of making our own dinners. I think we have gotten used to a healthier diet, and our bodies are rejecting foods that are too rich or are harder to digest. In some ways, this time has made many of us stronger both as couples and as families. I have seen some relationships and businesses flourish and seen others struggle through this turbulent time. It seems like people are learning how to better support one another emotionally because

of all the chaos we have gone through together. And together we support each other, and that makes learning how to accept missing out much easier. The really good news, once again, is that the end is in sight. Yes, I will take the vaccine, as will my family. But I have spoken to a number of people who won’t, aren’t sure, or still think the virus is a hoax, so it’s up to us to set our own boundaries and be responsible for our own well-being. For a little while, our collective psychology will continue to be a bit confused, but I do believe that in time, the vast majority of us will be on the same page. And that, my friends, is something to look forward to and celebrate. Barton Goldsmith, Ph.D., LMFT, is an award-winning therapist and writer.

LIFE

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS

“If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.� — Meister Eckhart

ARIES — Job-related or personal projects are apt to come to a head now. Success is in the air, along with a marked increase in income and acknowledgment from those who matter. This, of course, is going to boost your confidence, not to mention your mood. You might already be fired up with plans for new trails to blaze. Try to stay focused. You won’t want to miss anything. TAURUS — If you’re currently involved, Taurus, expect to feel a rush of revived passion for your partner. If you aren’t currently involved, the one great love of your life could finally appear. You may meet this person through work, creative activities, or spiritual studies. Your new friend could be from far away and work in an intellectually oriented profession. Expect to spend the next few days in a fog! GEMINI — You know you’re intuitive, Gemini, but changes could take place in your brain that elevate your abilities beyond mere intuition. Visions, prophetic dreams, and powerful insights into others’ thoughts and feelings could reveal you to be a gifted psychic. If you’ve been training your abilities, this should come as no surprise, but the level of your gifts will. You will never be the same. CANCER — Don’t turn down invitations today, Cancer. A group meeting or social event could be thrown together with casual acquaintances, and your relationship with these people could abruptly change. At the very least, some will become friends. You might also acquire some valuable business contacts or partners. You might fall in love. By evening, you could be in a daze from the unexpected events. LEO — A financial windfall could come as the result of a coup that no one expected you to pull off, Leo. Everyone is likely to be very proud of you - and you will be very pleased with yourself, too. This is only the start of a fortunate new turn in your life. As far as money goes, it may all be smooth sailing from here on out. VIRGO — Wonderful news comes from far away, Virgo, possibly involving writing, teaching, or publishing. Creativity combines with heightened intellectual ability to bring success and good fortune to your door today. You might spend the day in a daze, waiting for it to sink in, and the evening celebrating with friends. This trend is likely to continue for the next few months. +*#!2 +1$)"$Make the most of it.

LIBRA — An enterprise you’d long since given up on, perhaps one involving the creative arts, may suddenly come up again, this time as a real opportunity, Libra. Once you know it’s real, you still might have trouble believing that it’s finally happening. Friends and your current love interest may accept it more readily than you do. Enjoy your success and make the most of it! SCORPIO — Group activities or social events could put you in contact with a new, exciting person. You could feel a strong physical and romantic attraction, Scorpio. If you aren’t currently involved - and perhaps even if you are - this might be worth pursuing. The attraction is reciprocated. You will probably share interests and be able to talk for hours. Be cautious but confident. Go for it, but slowly. SAGITTARIUS — Whatever you’ve been trying to accomplish over the past several months could break loose just the way you want it to today, Sagittarius. It could come as a surprise and resemble a logjam that finally gives way. Nonetheless, this is your good fortune, and you and those who have been in the trenches with you deserve a few accolades. After it’s all set in stone, go out and celebrate. You’ve earned it. CAPRICORN — Today might be one of the most fortunate days of your life, Capricorn. Everything you’ve been striving for - romance, money, creative fulfillment could fall into place at various times today. Expect exciting calls bringing good news. A lover could offer congratulations. The only downside is that all the stimulation could leave you exhausted. Never mind. You will sleep well! AQUARIUS — Information received through dreams and visions could trigger sudden psychic revelations of solutions to problems you may have been mulling over for weeks. What you realize is likely to clear up any difficulties and pave the way for success. The emotional release could have you feeling like a heavy weight has been lifted off your shoulders. Obey your impulses, and get to it. PISCES — Some unexpected calls from friends or colleagues could bring you wonderful news today, Pisces. A serendipitous lucky break could end the logjam that has held up the attainment of all your dreams. Love, money, success in career and personal development - all seem to be falling into place. You might spend the day in a daze, trying to take it all in. Relax and focus. You’re on your way.

Codeword is a fun game with simple rules, and a great way to test your knowledge of the English language. Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

Athletic Round Table honors Bates as UCSB’s McLaughlin receives national and league Player of the Week Awards Providence’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

UCSB senior JaQuori McLaughlin is on a winning streak — of basketball games and basketball awards. The 6-foot-4 guard was honored as both National Mid-Major Player of the Week as well as Big West Conference Player of the Week after leading the Gauchos to a pair of victories at Cal State Northridge. The performances helped UCSB (10-3, 4-2 Big West Conference) extend its winning streak to six games. “He comes from two amazing parents and was raised the right way,� Gaucho coach Joe Pasternack said. “He’s developed each year and gotten better — it’s amazing, the strides he’s made — and it’s what you always hope for as a coach. “In the past, you would see flashes of how good he is. But now he’s so consistent. And it goes back to, I believe, who he is as a person. There is such a consistency about him as a person. “There’s no guessing about which JaQuori is going to show up. He’s the same every day.� College Sports Madness named him as its National Mid-Major Player of the Week after he averaged 23.0 points on 76.2% shooting, which included 6-of-9 from three-point range (66.7%), in the two road wins. He scored 21 points in Friday’s 103-58 rout and a career-high in Saturday’s 80-66 triumph. His 46 points came in just 51 minutes of play. McLaughlin moved up to third on the Big West scoring list with an average of 16.9 points per

“He’s developed each year and gotten better — it’s amazing, the strides he’s made — and it’s what you always hope for as a coach.� Joe Pasternack, UCSB basketball coach game. He’s seventh in three-point percentage (43.8%) and 11th in field-goal percentage (52.9%). He also made 8-of-8 foul shots at Northridge, improving his season free-throw percentage to 89.7% — third-best in the league. “He’s a very versatile guard who can play with ball screens and can play off the ball screens,� Pasternack said. “He can play off another guy, driving the ball, and it makes him very dangerous. You can’t guard him just one way.� His playmaking also ranks among the nation’s best. His wide array of passes has led to an assist average of 5.3 per game, ranking second in the Big West and 39th in the nation. “I’ve definitely been working on it,� McLaughlin said. “The biggest thing I’ve done is watch what other guys do things in a game, in NBA games, and I’ll try those things in practice. “I’m trying new things all the time and watching film. That’s the biggest thing about trying new passes and things like that.� His assist-to-turnover ratio of 3.76 ranks 13th nationally. Together with Devearl Ramsey’s No. 4 ranking of 5.00, the Gauchos are fourth as a team at 1.83. They are also seventh in team assists per game at 18.6. “He’s become such a great leader,� Pasternack said. “His teammates follow him. Whenever your best player is your best

passer and is so unselfish, it breeds unselfishness to your entire team. “That has a lot to do with why our assist-to-turnover and assistto-field goal ratios are so high and among the top ones in the country.� The Big West Player of the Week Award is McLaughlin’s fifth overall and third in the last six weeks — the most for a Gaucho since Alan Williams won three during the 2014-15 season. “I can’t say enough about his character,� Pasternack said. “To me, that’s why he’s improved so much each year and is playing at a very high level right now. “He just loves the game of basketball.� UCSB will continue its road trip with 4 p.m. games on Friday and Saturday at UC Davis. The Aggies (3-3, 1-1 Big West) were sidelined by the Yolo County Health Department for seven weeks over concerns of the COVID-19 pandemic. They returned to action last weekend to split two games at UC San Diego. The Gauchos have had no games canceled since opening their season on Nov. 29. “You don’t really know what’s going to happen, but as a team, you take it one day at a time,� McLaughlin said. “We’re just blessed to be able to play now.� email: mpatton@newspress.com

Olivia Bates, an All-Frontier League selection and team captain for the Providence School girls volleyball team, was honored by the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table as the school’s ScholarAthlete of the Year.

NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Olivia Bates leaves no volleyball undug nor stone unturned as the “Renaissance woman� of Providence School athletics. Marc Gamberdella dubbed her as such after presenting her with the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award for her school. Her pursuits in the arts, academics, athletics and Christian ministry make the title “an accurate one,� according to Providence athletic director Steve Stokes. “She works hard and has an attention to detail to balance her work academically while also being a multi-sport athlete and team captain in the girls indoor and girls beach volleyball programs,� he said. “She has a great impact as a leader both on the court and with other students on campus. “She is a tutor with students on campus and is also our ASB president, always willing to serve others.� Bates received All-Frontier League honorable mention in volleyball as a junior last season. She was also Providence’s Foreign Language Award winner and has received both California Scholarship Federation and Head of School List honors during all four of her years at the school. “I’ve had some amazing coaches at Providence who’ve taught me valuable volleyball skills as well as life skills,� she said. “Ever since I came to Providence and was on the volleyball team in seventh grade, coach Stokes has been such a light to me and to all the other people at Providence whom he coaches in athletics. “And I would not be here without the girls on the team. They’re so incredible.� Bates has compiled a grade-point average of 4.76 with advanced placement courses in government and economics, Spanish, English literature, chemistry and statistics. She is also studying Christian theism, comparative world views, and photojournalism. Bates is also pursuing a deeper course of study in the liberal arts by attending nationwide economic and government conferences as part of Providence’s Libertas Scholar Program. In her spare time, she serves as a math tutor for

junior high school and high school students. Her father, Mark Bates, is a professor of mathematics at Oxnard College while her mother, the Rev. Colleen Hurley-Bates, is the lead pastor of the Free Methodist Church of Santa Barbara. Her resume as a renaissance woman also includes playing classic and jazz piano, participating in theater, and also ministering to the homeless. Stokes describes her as “wise beyond her years.� “Olivia has been a total joy to have on campus,� he said. “Everything that she does, she brings a positive attitude, and that positive energy which is contagious. “Wherever she chooses to attend college next year, they’re going to be very fortunate to have someone like her on their campus.� email: mpatton@newspress.com
