Crude oil trucking proposal debated ExxonMobil says practice will be safe, but local environmentalists think otherwise By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
Allowing ExxonMobil to transport crude oil on Highway 101 and State Route 166 is a prospect that faces considerable pushback from local environmental groups. But the oil corporation insists that it is a safe practice that will bring considerable economic benefit to Santa Barbara County. It’s also not without its share of
local support. Last month, Santa Barbara County released an environmental impact report regarding ExxonMobil’s proposal to transport crude oil via tanker trucks on the highways as an early step toward restarting its three offshore platforms that were shut down in 2015 after the Plains All American Pipeline ruptured and led to a large oil spill. Since Lines 901 and 903 of the Plains All American Pipeline broke, the pipeline
has been non-operational and the Santa Ynez Unit, the three ExxonMobil facilities that produced the oil transported through the pipeline, has been shut in with all equipment maintained in a preserved state. The proposal to allow a limited amount of crude oil to be trucked would begin a phased restart of the SYU facilities. According to the report, the proposed project would allow for seven-days-aweek, 24-hour trucking of crude oil from
the SYU, with a maximum of 70 trucks leaving the facility within a 24-hour period. Each individual truck would transport about 160 barrels of crude oil for a daily average oil production rate of 11,200 barrels, about a third of the oil production rate from the SYU before it was shut down. The trucks would be loaded at the ExxonMobil Las Flores Canyon facility and deliver the crude oil to the Phillips 66 Santa Maria Pump Station, or the Plains
Tall building proposed for State Street

The Old Staples building, which is now Habitat Home and Garden, may be developed into an 84-unit, 52-foot apartment complex.
Housing project planned for 400 block
The new project, combining three parcels on 410 State St., 409 Anacapa St. and the east parking lot, was deemed a Community Benefit Housing Project, which is how it is allowed to exceed the 45 foot maximum.

A project to increase high density housing in downtown Santa Barbara includes a 52-foot apartment building at 410 State St. Because the project was deemed a Community Benefit Housing Project by the planning commission on July 16, it is allowed to increase the allowable height from 45 feet to 52 feet, according to Laura Benard, the project manager at Cearnal Please see PROJECT on A7

COVID-modified Old Spanish Days Fiesta starts this week By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
Old Spanish Days Fiesta looks a little different this year. While the COVID-19 pandemic precludes Santa Barbara’s annual festival from holding any outdoor events with massive crowds like previous years, the nonprofit is still going forward with a modified Fiesta with several events planned for this week. Every year, local children and teens spread Fiesta cheer when they deliver flowers throughout the community while taking part in Los Ninos de las Flores. That tradition will continue today, with 88 kids making flower deliveries to retirement homes in Santa Barbara, Goleta, Montecito, and Carpenteria, as well as to fire and police stations. According to Old Spanish Days division chief of external relations Angelique Davis, this year’s Los Ninos de las Flores will take social distancing into account, which means that those watching the kids make deliveries will be limited to family members. Also, the deliverers won’t make direct contact with the elderly folks at retirement communities. Instead, they will drop the flowers off in front of the

olton Krueger was living in New York City when he learned about a nearby ghost kitchen that had a massive
following. Nearly every night outside of his apartment, there would be long lines of people waiting to get their chicken wing fix. He decided to give them a try, and almost immediately thought he could make a better wing. The San Antonio, Texas, native, who also works in finance for Deckers Brand, then began to examine the wing business. He had discussions with an activist investor and realized there was a robust market. After relocating from New York to Southern California, Mr. Krueger came to find out that the only real options nearby were Wingstop and Buffalo Wild Wings. “We knew it was a really good food to-go, delivery and that sort of thing,” he told the News-Press on the patio of his new business, Wingman Rodeo, at 730 N. Milpas St. “We kind of knew that would be a growing space.” Mr. Krueger, along with partners Dudley Michael and Ryan Patronyk, then set out plans to open a ghost kitchen offering delivery only meals near USC’s campus. Then the coronavirus pandemic hit and those plans were put on hold. Mr. Krueger had a previous relationship with Mr. Michael, who has owned The Shop Kitchen for the past seven-plus years, and the two began making wings and sauces. Mr. Krueger’s father-in-law, Allan Seamans, a Texas barbecue legend in his own right, helped develop a number of sauce and spice recipes. With so much time and effort invested into the project, Mr. Krueger and Mr. Michael decided to wing it -- literally -- operating out of the Southern brunch house on the city’s Eastside. The Shop Kitchen operates daily from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., while Wingman occupies the space from 4 to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and until 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Wingman opened in April and offered to-go and delivery meals due to health orders that prevented on-site dining. Those restrictions have now been lifted, allowing patrons to enjoy the spacious patio adjacent to the kitchen. “We were able to leverage everything here at The Shop, which puts out just awesome food that people love, and really come out with a great product with awesome quality,” Mr. Krueger explained. “The conversation we had was, even if it fails we’re going to learn a lot, and then when everything is over (with the pandemic) we’ll be way further along and ready to open,” Mr. Michael said. “It was almost like a test run.” This chicken has certainly hit the ground running and become an instant sensation. “We make all of our sauces here in house. We spend a lot of time with the chicken. We brine it, we slow cook it and then we fry it,” Mr.

Colton Krueger, seated, and Dudley Michael are sharing the space at the 730 N. Milpas St. location. Mr. Michael owns and operates The Shop Kitchen from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily, with Wingman Rodeo in operation during afternoon and evening hours.
Just wingin’ it
Krueger explained. “The response has been great, reviews have been good.” Perhaps the highest compliment Mr. Krueger received was from a Deckers co-worker, who lived in Buffalo, N.Y., but quickly came to love Wingman Rodeo. Mr. Michael had also been exploring a dinner concept at The Shop Kitchen and had invested in building out its dining room. Once given the green light to resume in-house dining, Wingman Rodeo will look to offer a very unique experience. “We’re really looking forward to having people come and get the real experience,” Mr. Krueger said. “Wings that are good quality.” New beer taps have been
installed in the dining area, perfect to watch a football game or kick back over wings and beer, he added. Wingman currently offers nine flavors, including: Buffalo, Cali BBQ, Strawberry Fire, Thai Peanut, Bourbon Pineapple, Atomic Buffalo, Chipotle Lime Rub, Lemon Pepper Rub and Sichuan Tingly Rub. The restaurant offers both classic and boneless wings in a variety of quantities, crispy chicken burritos and sandwiches and several vegetarian and salad options. Side dishes of tater tots, coleslaw, flavored cauliflower bites, brussels sprouts and Caesar salads are also on the menu. Wing orders come with a side of dipping sauce, including ranch, blue cheese and
honey mustard. “We’re trying to keep a really tight and focused menu, but really trying to get some trends between vegetarian and keto and that sort of thing,” Mr. Krueger said. While the food product has been a success, Wingman also sticks out with its to-go bags. The bags, featuring cowboy hats, horseshoes, a chicken, a cactus, peppers, and boots with spurs, among other items, are aimed at being “super eye catching” and a mobile billboard of sorts, Mr. Krueger explained. “A lot of times we’re seeing a meld between brand and restaurant, and defining what a restaurant could be, especially when you’re trying to build a business digitally,” he said.
Wingman Rodeo thriving on Santa Barbara’s Eastside “You want something that really pops, is colorful, translates well to video and Instagram. We worked with a designer. “I’m from Texas and I really just like the wings. I wanted to create a little bit of a vibe around what Wingman is and Wingman Rodeo, and so we worked with a great designer to (develop a) concept how we wanted it to feel and we’ve sourced those bags and printed them. It’s definitely a way to market ourselves and have someone feel like they’re getting a premium product.” The bags come with a message that reads, in part: “We take comfort knowing people like you are out there. People who crave a wing that’s crispy, juicy and tender.
People who believe sauces and rubs should be house-made, not bought. You’re Wingman Rodeo’s kind of people. And Wingman Rodeo is your kind of wing.” Mr. Kruegman said Wingman may expand out to Isla Vista near UCSB, or even open a new location down in L.A. in the next few months. “We feel like we developed a concept that can really scale and we would love to be able to continue to grow,” Mr. Krueger said. “We’re obviously focusing on dialing this in and getting people here and eating on our patio and dining in when we can do that. But we’re looking kind of to move to the next spot. Please see wingman on A4
At left, shown here are Wingman’s crispy chicken burrito, left, and an order of Chipotle Lime Rub and Cali BBQ chicken wings. At right, Wingman also offers side dishes of tater tots and a brussels sprouts Caesar salad.

“We’re hoping to continue to grow and invest in the business.” When asked to describe the real Wingman experience, Mr. Krueger replied, “We’re really focused on quality. We make the best wing, certainly in Santa Barbara, but we think anywhere.” email: mwhite@newspress.com

Colton Krueger shows off the Wingman Rodeo to-go bags, aimed at being “super eye-catching” and a mobile billboard of sorts.
If you’re not happy now, that’s totally normal
or the past couple of decades, we have been hyper focused on “happiness.” What it is, how to find it, who has it, how they got it and where can I get mine? Is it meditation, visualization, diet, exercise, therapy, journaling, creating — and yes, all of these help, but right now, I don’t think there’s any way to manufacture happiness when there is so much going wrong in our world. Millions of books have been sold and digested by consumers and psychologists alike, all trying, and most failing, to feel the happiness factor that they have been told they so richly deserve. The real truth is that no one deserves to be happy, and some people are always going to be happier than others. But right now, until this pandemic is truly over, people need to put their personal search for happiness on hold and adjust their expectations. We all just need to survive, and that takes cooperation. Going out makes people happy, socializing makes people happy, not wearing a mask makes people happy — you get the idea. For some, protesting or counterprotesting makes them happy, and a few folks aren’t even sure which side, if any, they are on — they just want to be

involved. Why? Because it makes them happy to be part of something larger than they are. This is human nature. With the division in our country, the economic meltdown and thousands dying daily, the only thing that is happy right now is the coronavirus, as it spreads to every corner of our nation. Sadly, we are failing to take what’s happening — and what we should have learned from the 1918 pandemic — seriously enough, because this one is following the same curve. They never really got out of the first wave either. Science tells us that this is not going away anytime soon, despite what some political leaders have to say. I prefer to listen to people like Dr. Anthony Fauci who know what they’re talking about. Those who are saying the virus is a hoax and will disappear are selling snake oil. What they aren’t saying is that the exact opposite is equally possible: COVID-19 may never go away but will just stick around like the annual flu. Our current leader did say we would have to learn to live (or die?) with it, and so it’s up to each of us to find our way, and that’s pretty hard with all this going on. In addition, because of our insatiable need and endless quest to be happy, we really messed up containing this virus when we had
the chance. People who can’t stay home, who have to party and who simply don’t care, are acting out of some kind of disconnect with reality. Either that or we have become so incredibly selfish and self-delusional that we actually believe it will go away if we pretend it isn’t here, and that’s just stupid. So here’s what this psychotherapist thinks: Follow the health and safety guidelines to the letter, and if you go a little further by finding some way to pay it forward, that will make you a little happier. If you feel safe, that too will lighten your emotional toll, and if you don’t feel safe, then honor that and find a way to get that very basic need met. You are not wrong, bad or a loser because you are not feeling happy right now (or ever for that matter). It could be said that those who are not aware of the incredible pain and fear our country and the world is feeling right now are the insensitive ones. This will not be fun, but your job is to survive — having a good time and feeling happy again will come later if you just do that.

very much and value their friendship, and they don’t need to give you anything in return for the affection you feel for them. I don’t think couching the message in those terms would be rude at all. Dear Abby: Why do people stay in bad marriages? It causes emotional harm to the children (if they have kids), hearing their parents argue and name-call all the time. Wouldn’t it be better to separate? — Unhealthy Relationships Dear Unhealthy: Some couples remain in bad marriages because they can’t afford to live apart or fear being alone if they divorce. Others have dysfunctional love-hate relationships that, I agree, are unhealthy for everyone, including the children who grow up thinking it is normal. In my opinion, if couples can’t live in peace and harmony, they should separate. However, not everyone agrees.

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS
%\ 'DYH *UHHQ
ARIES — Travel arrangements may have to be put off because of unexpected developments that keep you where you are, Aries. You may be worried about the consequences, but don’t waste your energy. You’ll be able to make the necessary trip and accomplish whatever you’re hoping to do - just not today. Worry will only stress you out. The only productive way to deal with this is to keep moving. TAURUS — You may feel especially lonely, overworked, and passionate today, Taurus, and therefore longing for the company of your romantic partner. But responsibilities involving you both could well be keeping you apart. This could be more than frustrating - it could make you gloomy. Don’t let that happen. Concentrate on your work and finish before evening. You’ll see your friend then if possible. GEMINI — Upsets in the home could occur today, Gemini. You and other members of your household are on edge and liable to snap at the least provocation. Someone could get all flustered over a minor problem and storm out. Don’t worry. At day’s end everyone should see events in their proper perspective, and all be friends again. Hang in there. CANCER — Expected calls or deliveries may prove more trouble than they’re worth, Cancer. You could get involved in endless games of phone tag, and deliveries might come when you’re out. This can be avoided if you’re prepared. Make sure everyone knows what you’re expecting so they can watch for it. Tell people the best times to phone and be available at those times. Don’t worry. You’ll manage. LEO — A temporary delay in receiving some expected funds might force you to postpone a much-needed purchase, Leo. Don’t make yourself crazy over this. It isn’t worth the stress. The delay is disheartening, but it isn’t a cancellation. Your money will arrive, and you’ll be able to go ahead with your plans. In the meantime, keep yourself busy. Hang in there. VIRGO — Some older people, perhaps your parents, might be too vocal in their assessment of how you’re handling a situation, Virgo. You’re particularly sensitive today, and far less tolerant of criticism than usual. Don’t lash out. Causing a rift won’t solve anything. Change the subject and take whatever course of action you feel is best. LIBRA — Beware that +*#!2 +1$)"$
creative efforts involving modern technology, such as computer graphics, recording, or film, might suffer from “too many cooks.� Everyone has a different idea of how things should be handled. If this is your project, make sure everyone knows you’re the boss. If you have partners, discuss the situation rationally with them. Don’t sabotage your enterprise because of disagreements. Talk it over. SCORPIO — In spite of the leaps and bounds you’ve taken over the last several months, Scorpio, a slump could set in as you start to doubt your ability to attain your goals. A disheartening and unexpected setback may have occurred, but you’ve never let this sort of thing stop you before. Don’t fall into this trap now. Brace yourself, reassess your methods, and get back in the saddle. SAGITTARIUS — Are you waiting to hear some important news, Sagittarius? Significant career matters may be involved. This isn’t a good day to sit around waiting. Your call will probably come late, when you least expect it. Turn on your voicemail, get dressed, and go out and do something else for a while. Otherwise you could well drive yourself crazy hoping for the news. Hang in there. CAPRICORN — This isn’t a good day to travel, Capricorn, especially by air. Long lines at the ticket counter, endless delays, and lost luggage could be the result. This may not even be a good day to plan a trip, although you can consider your options. If you must fly today, get to the airport early, travel light, and take something good to read. That will make it bearable. AQUARIUS — A friend or colleague involved in an enterprise with you could be inhibited in some way by lack of money, Aquarius. This might involve some unexpected adjustment on your part, perhaps finding someone else to temporarily fill in. It’s a pain, but you and your colleagues will manage, and your friend should have it together in time. Find a way to work around the situation. Hang in there. PISCES — Career responsibilities may require a temporary separation from a love partner today, Pisces. This is apt to be upsetting and rather disheartening, but there’s likely nothing you can do about it except work as quickly as you can so that you can finish and get back to your partner. Make sure your friend knows what’s going on. You don’t want to cause any more upset.

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.

Council ponders pros, cons of increased ceiling height PROJECT
Continued from Page A1 Collective, LLP, the company spearheading the project. This new development involves retaining and modifying the approximately 17,150 squarefoot building at 410 State St. and retaining the approximately 6,800 square-foot building at 409 Anacapa St., a voluntary lot merger to combine the three parcels, and construction of a new 84 unit, four-story Priority Housing project over the east parking lot. The structure will include approximately 52,675 square feet of residential units (36 Studios, 24 one-bedrooms, 12 junior onebedrooms, and 12 two-bedrooms) averaging approximately 627 square feet per unit. Parking will be a combination of surface parking and two-stack parking lifts (for residential only), Ms. Benard told the News-Press. This large project is currently going through the planning and zoning entitlement process. Ms. Benard said the architects believe the added height makes it more feasible for a livable space, with higher ceilings as opposed to an eight-foot ceiling. The project has received the approval from the planning commission for the added height, so they will continue going back to the Historic Landmarks Committee three or four times as the structure continues to evolve. Some concern has been expressed about building structures higher than 45 feet,
including at the city council meeting last week. While this project does not need the approval of city council because of its Community Benefit Housing Project status, the council discussed making amendments to the Average Unit-Size Density Incentive Program, which included increasing the allowable height of buildings from 45 feet to 48 feet. Council members Meagan Harmon and Eric Friedman both said they can see arguments on both sides regarding building height. Council member Mike Jordan said that Community Benefit Housing defines a consideration of livability as higher ceiling heights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the 45-foot height in the downtown is historically in place for retail and office uses and the migration to housing cannot just be expected to fit within the same box,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The three foot opportunity â&#x20AC;Ś is just a token little, inconsequential, imperceptible change from 45 feet that hardly will be noticed downtown.â&#x20AC;? Council member Kristen Sneddon opposed increasing the building height, saying she needs a clear goal from the AUD project regarding the height. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over 45 feet needs to have a community benefit, otherwise itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s higher ceilings and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s producing luxury,â&#x20AC;? she said at the meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 45 ceiling height is enough.â&#x20AC;? Council member Oscar Guiterrez also expressed he wants to keep the maximum height at 45 feet. Mayor Cathy Murillo concluded the discussion saying she is fine with 48 feet.
RAFAEL MALDONADO / NEWS-PRESS
The housing project is currently going through the planning and zoning entitlement process, and the added height was approved because higher ceilings are considered to improve the livability.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s luxury to have a ceiling that gives you a little air and space, especially if the square footage is a little smaller,â&#x20AC;? she said. In addition, Richard Closson, a resident of Santa Barbara for 36 years, told the News-Press he and a few long-time residents take issue with the proposed height. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It blocks what we think are important mountain views,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you stand at the
intersection there, you look toward the mountains and there wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be that view when that building is built. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fallacy on the part of the developers.â&#x20AC;? In addition, he said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerned with the fact that the architects are only building on one of the three available parcels, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what makes the building so tall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If (the project) were able to be spread over a little more in
the three parcels, that could bring down the overall height of the building and make it more compatible with its surrounding buildings.â&#x20AC;? Mr. Closson also mentioned that he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe the added height is necessary for the reasons the developers say it is. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a new world city. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need those tall windows and ceilings for the natural air conditioning that they needed in
the 18th and 19th centuries,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really no published evidence that making windows tall makes it more livable.â&#x20AC;? He concluded by saying that he still supports revitalizing the downtown area of the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody is saying that the downtown should not be developed, and in many ways this is a good project.â&#x20AC;? email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Foresters enter NBC World Series on an even keel By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER
A summer collegiate baseball season played under the cloud of COVID-19, complete with spectator bans and face-covered players, is nearing its climax with a very good omen for the Santa Barbara Foresters: The oddest of years is also an even year, 2020, which “means it could be our year,” manager Bill Pintard pointed out. The Foresters, seven-time champions of the National Baseball Congress World Series, have won titles in six of the last seven even years (2006, 2008, 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2018). That sequence was broken only in 2010, and Santa Barbara came back the next season to win the 2011 crown. The Foresters (26-4) will begin play in the 86th annual event tonight at 6:30 p.m. PDT at Wichita State’s Eck Stadium. They will face the winner of Monday night’s game between the Rose Hill, Kan. Sluggers and the Denver Cougars. Radio and live-streaming coverage can be accessed at the NBC website (nbcbaseball.com). Santa Barbara’s winning percentage of .867 has it on pace to break the club record of .841 set during its 53-10 season of 2003. This year’s success was enough to convince Pintard to endure the complications and expense caused by the coronavirus and fly a team of 29 players plus coaches to Wichita. “We couldn’t just quit and send everyone home,” he said upon Monday’s arrival in Wichita. “The players to a man wanted to come and the coaches wanted to come. This is a pretty good team and I think they can do some real damage. “I guess we just love watching these guys play, they’re so good.” Santa Barbara, which advanced to the quarterfinals of last year’s event, is hitting .323 as a team, displaying both power (33 home runs) and speed (121 stolen bases). The pitching has also been strong with a team earned run average of 2.73 and 368 strikeouts in just 267 1/3 innings. Pintard has brought a 16-man pitching staff to help it deal with a schedule that will be crammed into eight days instead of the usual two weeks. The championship game is scheduled for next Monday. “This team is one of the best we’ve had,” Pintard said. “I was a little concerned about our middle relief midway through the season, but that’s been shored up. “Derek True had his best outing the other night and he’s a guy we can use with confidence.” Nick Nastrini will start tonight for the Foresters. The 6-foot-3 righthander from UCLA leads the Foresters in pitching victories, having compiled a win-loss record of 4-0 with 30 strikeouts in 21 2/3 innings. “He’s our guy: a steady pitcher with experience as a Saturday starter in the Pac-12,” Pintard said. A win would put the Foresters into Thursday’s quarterfinals of the double-elimination event. A loss would drop them into a loser’s bracket game on Wednesday.
GRIMM, Linda Lee
Linda Paich Grimm passed away peacefully at SB Cottage Hospital on Thursday, July 30th. Linda was the only child of Alvin and Marguerite (Lewis) Arzt. She is survived by her loving husband and best friend, Jim Grimm and her only child, Jovi Sale Bishop of Las Vegas, NV. Linda was born November 3, 1940 in South Gate, CA. From childhood, Linda’s Mom claimed Linda had an unrealistic love of horses. However that love of horses never ended and Linda was one of the first women to attend Cal-Poly in San Luis Obispo. After a few years in Alhambra, Linda and Jovi moved to the Santa Ynez Valley. Linda worked for Clarence and Daisy Hardin at the Firehouse Gift Shop located at the old fire station on Copenhagen Drive in Solvang. With Linda’s knowledge of horses and her talent with art she was the perfect employee for Chris Paine at Horsefeather’s Gallery in Santa Ynez. After Chris moved her business to Montecito, Linda began her own gallery in the same location known as Pony Tracks Gallery. Linda relocated her shop to Los Olivos and for many years was involved in promoting Los Olivos as an art destination. Linda had a remarkable knowledge of Arabian horse pedigrees. To the astonishment of customers and friends Linda could recite several generations of dams and sires from memory. Linda had a love for sporting and western art. She could tell you when and where many artists were born, and the names of many of their works. She enjoyed the search for vintage horse books and old art she could frame and sell. Linda had a keen sense of humor. She could quickly draw a humorous cartoon for any occasion. For many years Linda’s Christmas cards were of her own clever creation. In 1988 Linda married her second husband Marty Paich. Through Marty’s musical career, Linda and Marty traveled worldwide. Linda served on the Santa Ynez Valley Historical Museum board from 1994 to 1996. While on the board she and Marty hosted Vaquero pre-party’s at their “Lupin Hill Ranch” in Santa Ynez. Linda was acquainted with many “Cowboy craftsmen” and was responsible for bringing the Vaquero Show to the Santa Ynez Valley Museum. For the first few years of the Honored Vaquero events, Linda did art work on a leather hide to be presented to the Honored Vaquero. Marty became terminally ill and Linda began working from home, she changed the name of her business to Bookends. For over 30 years, Linda was a breeder of whippets. While attending a Cowboy show in Cody, WY Linda met her current husband Jim Grimm. Jim and Linda created a “Museum of the Cowboy”, and hosted many organizations over the years. After many years of dedicated work on the Vaquero Show, she and Jim were the Honored Vaqueros at the 2015 event. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the SYV Historic Museum in her honor. (PO Box 181, Santa Ynez, CA 93460) Interment will be at Oak Hill cemetery handled by Loper Funeral Chapel. Due to the Covid virus there will be a memorial at a later date.

Santa Barbara Foresters pitcher Bryce Warrecker, a recent Santa Barbara High School graduate, throws from the mound during the Foresters’ July 1 game against the Inland Empire Buccaneers at Pershing Park.
Pintard is waiting until he knows his next opponent before picking his second-game starting pitcher. He admits to having a luxury of choices with the likes of Arkansas’ Blake Adams (2-0, 1.42 ERA), Cal State Fullerton’s Kyle Luckham (1-0, 1.90), and recent Santa Barbara High graduate Bryce Warrecker (3-0, 0.38 ERA). Warrecker leads the Foresters in strikeouts with 37 in 24 innings. He’s allowed only seven hits, two walks, and one run in 10 appearances, most of them in relief. “I knew he’d throw strikes and I knew he could locate,” Pintard said of the 6-foot-8 righthander. “He’s got tremendous command. I just didn’t know if he’d put it all together this summer, and he did. He’s exceeded all expectations. “Hitters don’t get a good look at him and can’t see his pitches so well since he’s 6-8 and throws on such a downhill plane. His velocity will come, too. At the end of the day, he’ll be in the low 90s (mph), for sure.” Warrecker will be joining True, his former Santa Barbara High teammate, at Cal Poly this fall. Another former Don, infielder Nick Oakley, has also come on strong of late to increase his batting average to .324. He laid down a run-scoring, two-out bunt single during the 10th inning of last Thursday’s game against
Santa Maria to give the Foresters a walk-off victory. “He had the courage to drag home that winning run and he also came up with a big hit against a very good pitcher and scored the tying run in Saturday’s game (against the Inland Empire Pirates),” Pintard said. Oakley’s versatility will help the Foresters cope with the absence of Peyton Graham, a third baseman from Oklahoma who didn’t make the trip because of an injury. The Foresters’ lineup leads off with a powerful one-two punch in UCLA shortstop Matthew McLain (.478 batting average, five home runs, 16 stolen bases) and Texas Tech second baseman Jace Jung (.424, eight homers, 17 stolen bases). McLain is on pace to break the team record for batting average (.439 set by Bill Scott in 1998). “He’ll break it unless he goes 0-for-30 in the tournament,” Pintard said. “Our team home run record is also in jeopardy even though we’ve only played about two-thirds of a normal season.” Oklahoma State’s Christian Encarnacion has placed himself in the club’s all-time, top-10 for both homers (nine) and runs batted in (43) despite having played in just 25 games. He’s batting .350. Other key hitters for Santa Barbara are UCLA catcher Noah Cardenas (.338); the University of Arizona trio of Sean McLain
(.314), Branden Boissiere (.310), and Ryan Holgate (.294 with four homers), and former SBCC star Pat Caulfield (.272), who started in UCLA’s outfield last spring. “Without a doubt, this is one of the best hitting clubs we’ve ever had,” Pintard said. Caulfield leads a speedy Forester team with 24 stolen bases in as many attempts. The team has only been caught stealing 19 times in 140 attempts. “That’s our highest percentage ever,” Pintard said. The Foresters will be tested in their attempt to achieve their highest winning percentage ever. The top-seeded Cheney, Kan. Diamond Dawgs made it to last year’s NBC World Series final before losing to Seattle, the team which also eliminated Santa Barbara. But the success of even years isn’t the only tradition that Pintard hopes to keep alive in the next week. The first thing he did upon his arrival in Wichita was to call Via Christi Hospital and arrange his team’s annual Hugs for Cubs visit to the children’s ward. “We’re hoping to maybe do something with them outside,” he said. It would be just another adjustment in a summer full of them. email: mpatton@newspress.com

OIL
Continued from Page A1 adverse impacts, Class I, II, III and IV, the report found only one impact in the most severe category. With a Class I impact defined as one that “cannot be effectively avoided or mitigated” or have its adverse effects reduced “to insignificant levels,” the only one the report found met this level is a tanker truck spilling oil due to an accident. This possibility is one that those opposed to the project are adamant about avoiding. Maggie Hall, senior attorney for the nonprofit Environmental Defense Center representing local interest group Get Oil Out! and nonprofit Santa Barbara County Action Network, said transporting oil via truck is “inherently risky, as we’ve seen with many recent tanker-truck accidents.” Ms. Hall and her clients are not only opposed to the practice of trucking oil on the highways, but also ExxonMobil’s long-term goal of restarting its three offshore SYU facilities. The attorney remarked that the SYU facilities have a “history of fracking and acidizing,” both of which she called unsafe. “We’re dealing with unconventional, dangerous practices if these platforms are allowed to resume productions,” she said. Additionally, she said that those opposed to the project “want to see a shift away from this type of energy production” in favor of renewable energy sources, and also want to ensure that the Santa Barbara Channel’s ecosystem is protected. “Big picture, we’re concerned about any oil drilling in this sensitive marine environment,” she said.
ExxonMobil, however, assures that transporting crude oil via tanker truck is a safe proposition under its direction. ExxonMobil spokesperson Julie King told the News-Press that the company has worked with Santa Barbara County to develop “an extensive transport safety plan” that “fully complies” with its environmental land-use regulations. She stated that the corporation has an exhaustive list of regulations to follow, which it obeys to the letter. “Our trucking routes must be approved by the county, and we must follow more than 100 laws, rules and regulations and policies at local, state and federal levels governing our oil production and transportation, which are among the strictest in the world,” she said. She added, “We carefully select trucking companies and require them to meet or exceed all regulatory requirements and safety standards.” As for the eventual revamping of the SYU facilities envisioned under the project, Ms. King remarked that it will generate more jobs for Santa Barbara, many of which were lost after ExxonMobil was forced to halt production in 2015. Prior to the Plains All American Pipeline rupturing, the SYU facilities had 330 people working. Keeping the facilities in stasis only requires about 60 people. “Approval of our application will bring these folks home and get people working again,” Ms. King said. Another benefit from reactivating the SYU, according to Ms. King, is more than $4.5 million in annual taxes it would generate for Santa Barbara schools, as well as nearly $2 million a year in taxes for public safety and
local services. In an interview with the News-Press, Sierra Club Los Padres Chapter director Jonathan Ullman was unimpressed with this idea, calling oil facilities impacting the tax base “a myth perpetrated by the oil companies.” “Oil drilling does not contribute to the tax base in any significant way. It also does not contribute to school funding in any significant way. The vast majority of our schools are paid for by taxpayers,” he said. Bruce Porter, a member of the Santa Ynez Valley Union High School District board between 2008 and 2016, expressed support for allowing crude oil trucking and eventually restarting the three oil rigs. Recalling his experience sitting on the board, Mr. Porter told the News-Press that the Santa Ynez Valley Union High School District and the elementary school district Vista del Mar Union were directly funded by property taxes from properties along the coast that produced oil. In 2015, the same year Mr. Porter served as the high school district’s board president, the rupturing of the pipeline and subsequent oil spill caused the value of those properties to plummet. This he said resulted in the school district losing $800,000, with Vista del Mar Union being even more impacted and approaching bankruptcy because of its shortfall. He suspects the elementary school district doesn’t have long before it’s forced to throw in the towel. “It’s very few years before they can’t continue anymore,” Mr. Porter said. email: jgrega@newspress.com
