Mar Monte Hotel welcomes guests 200-room resort opens across from East Beach By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

The 200-room, oceanside Mar Monte Hotel has opened in Santa Barbara. Located at 1111 E. Cabrillo Blvd., the resort is across the street from East Beach. The building, which underwent extensive renovation and was enhanced with modern amenities, is designed as a reincarnation of the historic 1930s Vista Mar Monte. The hotel graces three acres of Spanish-influenced grounds. And the guest rooms offer views of the Pacific Ocean or the mountains. The hotel is part of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand. “The unveiling of Mar Monte Hotel is a proud moment for our entire team. We had a vision to forge a deep connection with the local community and provide

inspiration to our guests through unrivaled access to the very best of Santa Barbara,” general manager Ingrid Braun said in a news release Monday. “Through this transformation, we’ve not only created an inspiring property and thought-provoking experiences for the spirited lifestyle traveler, but also a warm and welcoming destination for those who call Santa Barbara home.” The hotel’s interior design work was done by Los Angelesbased Beleco, which stressed bright white walls for a welcoming atmosphere in the lobby and living room. That area also features exposed beam ceilings, arches, chandeliers, terracotta tiled flooring and a large-scale ceramic tile art installation behind the reception desk, bringing Spanishstyle elements into the space in a muted earthy color palette. The hotel’s two restaurants are Costa and Café Lido, both Please see hotel on A7

Santa Barbara resident Tracy Thomas and her 5-year-old daughter, Brighton, play in the surf to cool off on a hot day.

By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The heat wave Santa Barbara County has been experiencing in recent days is expected to continue today. Temperatures are once again expected at or above 90 degrees in the city of Santa Barbara, and meteorologist Mike Wofford of the National Weather Service in

Oxnard said we can expect “very minimal change” throughout Thursday. The 90-degree days will have low temperatures at night between 65 and 75 degrees. Friday in the city is forecasted to range from the mid to high 80s and in the low to mid 80s through the weekend. At the start of next week, temperatures in the city of Santa Barbara are expected to “be warm, but not

excessively so,” according to Mr. Wofford. As per usual during a heat wave, the coastal regions will be significantly cooler than inland areas, with the hottest areas in Santa Barbara County predicted to reach temperatures between 105 and 110 degrees. These areas include the mountains, Cuyama, and the Santa Ynez Valley. Cuyama and the Please see HEAT on A8

County Elections Office confident it can handle increased mail-in voting By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the expectation that the Nov. 3 election will be largely done through mail-in-ballots in California. And the Santa Barbara County Elections Office is confident that it will be able to accurately and efficiently count votes despite the expected increase in ballots sent through the mail. The Elections Office must deliver ballots to local post offices by Oct. 5, the first day residents can start mail-in voting. However, the elections division is working with its ballot printer to possibly get ballots delivered to Santa Barbara County post offices on Sept. 28, according to Joe Holland, the county clerk, recorder, assessor and registrar of voters. “We’re not really anticipating any problems,” he said. “It’s just that with the volume of vote-bymail across the nation, we wanted to work with our printer to make sure we’re ahead of the game.” Please see voting on A2

A question this year is how many voters will choose to mail-in ballots rather than go to a poll.

Property owners push back against rent stabilization By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

Earlier this month, councilmembers Meagan Harmon and Kristen Sneddon introduced a concept via memorandum called a Community Stabilization Policy Initiative in attempts to explore a limitation on the increased percentage landlords can charge per year. The proposed limitation is no more than a 2% increase in rent a year. In addition, in the event of a decrease in Consumer Price Index in any given year, no rent increase is allowable in that year. While an ordinance dealing with no-fault eviction and relocation assistance will be voted on months from now, the rent cap proposal is far from even being written down on paper. Currently, the councilmembers hope to engage with Santa Barbara residents in public discussion. “Community stabilization is just a concept we are hoping to engender discussion on,” Ms. Harmon told the News-Press. “It’s not an ordinance. It’s not scheduled to be voted on.” In the memorandum, a copy of which was obtained by the

News-Press, the councilmembers pointed out that Santa Barbara County is the sixth most costburdened county out of the 58 counties in California. More than half of city renters are paying more than 30% of their income on housing. “We want to have a conversation about what stable housing looks like and what the options are to move us in that direction,” Ms. Harmon said. “The policy itself is not particularly innovative -- it follows the policy in place in the state.” She added that the vacancy decontrol ordinance is key to the rent cap. When a tenant moves out or relocates, the unit can be relet at whatever price the landlord is able to negotiate with the next tenant, potentially returning to market price. “That’s an important piece because it does, in our view, really respect and reflect the rights of property owners to price their unit as they see fit while also reflecting the needs of our community for stable housing, now more than ever,” Ms. Harmon said. The memo includes many “carve-outs,” including: “rental Please see RENT on A7

A new kind of Ford tough UCSB anthropologist Anabel Ford receives $289,806 grant from National Science Foundation By BRIAN MACKLEY NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

COURTESY PHOTOS

Dr. Anabel Ford, research anthropologist and director of the UCSB MesoAmerican Research Center, has dedicated her career to documenting and preserving the ancient Maya city of El Pilar. Recently, a new grant award by the National Science Foundation will allow Ford and her team to conduct research into how the Maya built their ancient settlements.

r. Anabel Ford, a UCSB research anthropologist, has received nearly $300,000 from the National Science Foundation to conduct comprehensive work at the ancient Maya city of El Pilar. UCSB recently announced the grant for Dr. Ford, the director of the university’s MesoAmerican Research Center, Recognized for her discovery of the ancient Maya city center of El Pilar in 1983, Dr. Ford has since spent her career documenting and preserving the ancient site. The city is located between the dense tropical forests in Belize and Guatemala. The new grant will allow a team of archaeologists, botanists, geographers, palynologists and soil scientists led by Dr. Ford to research how the Maya created dense settlements in the tropical forest between Belize and Guatemala. “We are asking what geographic characteristics are influencing ancient Maya settlements,” Dr. Ford said in a recent statement. “To ask this question, we need to have a settlement survey for archaeology, soil for fertility, vegetation for the environment, topography for the landscape base and the modeling for geography. “This grant will bring into our comparative data a soil study by soil scientists and vegetation and pollen analysis by botanists from EcoSur Mexico,” she continued. “They work in the Maya Forest and will bring in new and challenging perspectives on the settlement and environmental issues.” Along with researching how the Maya operated under the dense tropical forest, the grant will also allow Dr. Ford and her team to finish mapping El Pilar Archaeological Reserve for Maya Flora and Fauna that covers 5,000 acres. Dr. Ford told the News-Press about her past work examining the ancient Maya farming system known as the milpas system, which is “a carefully managed cycle of land clearing

and crop-tree rotation that is completed with the land returning to forest.” Before her research at El Pilar, it was believed the Maya disappeared as a result of overpopulation and environmental degradation. However, through her past research studying the milpas system, Dr. Ford has demonstrated the Maya were actually skilled managers of the forest. “Ecological imperialism has been the de facto judge and the view has impacted how to look at the landscape if you are looking for arable land that is plowable — and the Maya did not use a plow!” Dr. Ford said in a statement. Although she is recognized as the person who discovered El Pilar, Dr. Ford said in her eyes she “encountered” the monuments. “The name El Pilar was on maps that I found even without mention to the plazas and temples, and like Columbus ‘discovering’ America, it was always there — I just helped to give it value in the archeological world.” Dr. Ford said. “That is another reason I use the word ‘monument,’ not ‘ruins.’ It commands respect, and gives the local community agency and values their observations and experience at El Pilar.” In addition to learning more about the ancient Maya, Dr. Ford told the News-Press her work will bring together a network of professionals, students and volunteers from the U.S., Belize, Guatemala and Mexico as well as feature an outreach component that helps teach children about the sustainability practices of the Maya forest gardeners. Dr. Ford added that the COVID-19 pandemic has created new hurdles for research. She said although it isn’t practical to do most field work right now, her team is still very much working and for the time being will focus on the modeling component of the research. “Maybe there is something that we can learn from this project,” Dr. Ford said. “Taking lessons from the past to promote a better future.” email: bmackley@newspress.com

Man who lost his ‘spark’ gets inspiration from readers

Making the best of lockdown 2.0

D

uring the first lockdown in spring, many people got very creative with how to deal with life, work, family and staying healthy. We adapted pretty well — so well, in fact, that many people are changing their lifestyles to get out of cities and live a cleaner and simpler life. Now that working from home is part of the new normal, people who can are starting to migrate to more rural areas. And they are moving pretty quickly. Real estate agents in small towns, away from the metro areas, are getting a large influx of people escaping the big cities. And I can see that it makes sense for many people right now. A return to the simple life gained momentum as many people in the 1960s and ’70s found their work-a-day world overwhelming, and many just got tired of playing the game. This was the forerunner to what became this need to not just simplify but de-stress and live life as a human being rather than a human doing. Don’t take this the wrong way. Work is important to our wellbeing, physically and emotionally, but when the world has its knee on your neck, you just need to find a place of peace and some room to breathe. It does feel like leaving the city could be very

life enhancing, so if you have the opportunity, that may be something to consider. School is another big question for millions of families. If they reopen in your community, will your college-bound kid feel comfortable returning or going to a new environment? And what about sending kids back to elementary or high school? Many parents who can afford it will choose home and online schooling, just to be on the safe side. As everyone who has raised a child knows, when children go back to school, they usually will bring home a bug of some kind that makes others sick. The normal colds and flu are part of what we have learned to live with, but I don’t know enough about COVID19 to feel comfortable, and I would opt for keeping my kid at home, if given the choice. I totally get that the socialization of the classroom is important to growth, and many parents rely on school not only to educate their children but also to take care of them during the day, so they can work. In many cases, our schools also make sure that children get proper nutrition. These things are important, and we are already adjusting and creating ways for our kids and our world to be safer. Meal and school supply deliveries are already being figured out for

those in need by those in charge, and right now it’s still a question but I hope it will get worked out as well as possible. Staying around people you live with or know very well may make you feel that your friend group has shrunk, but that isn’t the case. When this is over, we will reconnect, because we want to, and until then, it is wisest to follow the guidelines, use common sense, and be the caretakers of our families that we are meant to be. It is also a real good idea to check in with friends via video chat just to keep your contacts up. That too is life enhancing. Good things will come out of this too, but they may be a little hard to find at the moment. Remember that we have always survived disaster, and we will again, as long as we respect one another and remain careful and caring. It seems simple enough, and that simplicity will allow you to have a future. It may be a different one than what you had planned, but it will be there for you. Barton Goldsmith, Ph.D., LMFT, is an award-winning therapist and writer.

Hillside’s new leader Santa Barbara residential care facility announces executive director By BRIAN MACKLEY NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

Michael S. Rassler has been named the new executive director for Hillside, a Santa Barbara residential care facility for adults living with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Hillside has served Santa Barbara County for more than 70 years. The nonprofit’s mission is to help residents maximize their physical, cognitive, social and emotional abilities so that they can attain their highest level of independence in an environment where people are treated with dignity and respect. “We are excited to welcome Michael Rassler, who brings experience, compassion and vision at this crucial time with the pandemic, and our plans to redevelop Hillside facilities and

property,â€? Board Chair Brad Frohling said in a statement. “Looking toward the future, I am confident Michael, who has spent his career serving others, will ensure Hillside residents receive the best quality of life possible.â€? Prior to being selected as the new executive director for Hillside, Mr. Rassler worked with the Jewish Federation of Greater Santa Barbara for more than 35 years and served as the federation’s executive director for more than 10 years. He also has participated in or led annual, capital, endowment, Israel emergency and other special campaigns that have generated more than $360 million to benefit Jewish communities everywhere. In addition to his experience in nonprofit management, Mr. Rassler holds three master’s degrees: business administration from Miami University, Ohio;

Jewish studies from Baltimore Hebrew College; and social work with a concentration in community planning and social administration from the University of Maryland. â€œHillside’s future requires a multi-dimensional leader who has the heart for adults with disabilities, and the business experience necessary to create an integrated, mixed ability community for our residents and the public,â€? Board Vice Chair Norris Goss said in a statement. “We are grateful Michael has the determination to move this vision to reality.â€?  For more information, visit hillsidesb.org or contact Michael Padden-Rubin, the director of development, at 805-687-0788, ext. 115, or mpaddenrubin@hillside. org.  email: bmackley@newspress.com

ARIES — This is an excellent day to express your natural creativity, Aries. The arts will more than likely be very important to you. You may find that nothing brings you more pleasure on days like this. Consider putting this to good use by painting, sculpting, or doing crafts. You’ll find the perfect thing for you is engaging in art activities with a focus on giving. TAURUS — If you feel tired, Taurus, you may need to close your eyes and listen to soothing music. You work hard most of the time, so do your body and mind some good and just relax and listen to your favorite music. Even a few minutes will make a difference. You can always use the quiet time to plan if you feel you need to accomplish something. GEMINI — Today could bring some strong feelings, Gemini. This may not be new, as you generally tend to feel things deeply. Finding a way to express this could sometimes be tough for you. While you’re creative, it isn’t always easy to find the right activity to get you going. Visit an online bookstore and look for some appealing craft or art books. They may spark ideas for expressing yourself. CANCER — Cancer, consider that artistic expression can happen in many ways. It isn’t always about drawing a picture, singing a song, playing music, or acting. The way you arrange your home or workspace is an artistic expression, as are how you dress and do your hair. Each thing you do is an expression of your style. You are uniquely artistic. Enjoy this gift today. LEO — You may find that today brings great physical strength and energy, Leo. You may want to do some really challenging, physical work. This is the day for it, so why not go to it? Do some yard work or clean out closets, cupboards, drawers, and filing cabinets. Consider donating items that you don’t use anymore or sell things online to make a couple bucks. VIRGO — Get into doing things today, Virgo. Activities that require focus or creativity are supported. Your physical strength and energy will compel you to do something active. If you’ve been feeling tired or under the weather, this can put an end to it. Consider artistic projects that take strength, such as building something out of wood or carving. Make something special for someone. +*#!2 +1$)"$ LIBRA — Your active side may

HOROSCOPE really show today, Libra. While you can be extremely focused on “thinking� work, you can also love keeping active and enjoy physical work. When you have a project like cleaning your home, you can be quick when you put your mind to it. This is a good day to get a lot accomplished. You’ll probably enjoy it very much and bask in the satisfaction afterwards. SCORPIO — If you’ve been feeling tired or sick lately, this will probably turn around for you today, Scorpio. Bouts of moodiness can be a real drain. Your emotional state has a pronounced effect on the way your body feels. Be sure to take care of your feelings as well as your body. If there are things that need to be worked out, do that now. The two really do go together. SAGITTARIUS — You’ll probably be busy today, Sagittarius, and this may suit you just fine. This can really work in favor if you have some tasks to catch up on. Being energetic, active, and productive is natural for you. In fact, when you have to sit too long you probably feel restless or anxious. You may fidget, too. If you find yourself doing this, go find something active to do. CAPRICORN — Today, Capricorn, your ability to stand up for your decisions and not let others sway you may be enhanced. This will be especially strong if you’ve solved a problem. You may find that others often try to change your decisions, but not today. Things are working in your favor and you’ll feel new strength as a result. Follow your heart. AQUARIUS — You may feel a need to get moving today, Aquarius. Almost everyone at times prefers quiet activities, books, art, and even just sitting around to physical activity. But your health can suffer if you’re too inactive. Fresh air, exercise, and sunshine are vital to your well-being. Don’t resist the urge to get up and do something active. Chances are good that you’ll really enjoy it. PISCES — Pisces, you’ll probably find that you have a ton of energy to put into all kinds of activities. Finish any work that still needs completion, consider doing some cleaning and organizing, or see about getting out for a little warm weather fun. Whatever you choose, make sure it’s active. You’ll need a place for all that energy to go and quiet activities won’t cut it today.

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.

‘They’re privately providing welfare’ Supporting the U.S. Postal Service RENT

Continued from Page A1 housing with a certificate of occupancy issued less than 15 years ago; duplexes where the owner lives on site in the other unit (including ADUs); deedrestricted affordable housing or government subsidized housing; rental units within a singlefamily home or condominium; and other units determined ineligible under State law.� In addition, “the rent may be raised more than the allowable amount in any given year if the landlord is making allowable capital improvements to the unit.�. “We have some old houses here and old houses require repairs, so I want to honor that and I think in this concept, we have tried to do so,� Ms. Harmon said. She concluded by saying, “Fundamentally, I truly believe that tenants and landlords, wherever you are on this debate, you want what is best for our community.� The memo says the projected community impact of this initiative would be “significant.� “With the advent of COVID-19, the ramifications of everincreasing housing costs are as of yet unknowable, but they are undoubtedly extreme,� the memo reads. “By coupling rent stabilization with vacancy decontrol as we have, we are facilitating much needed stability for our community’s families, while respecting the right of landlords to price their units in accordance with market forces.� In the state of California, it is illegal for residential landlords to raise rent more than 5%, plus the local rate of inflation, in one year, per a law signed by Gov. Gavin

Newsom in 2019. The law was turned down by voters, but signed anyway. This fact does not sit right with Irene Kopel, a Mom ‘n’ Pop property manager in the state. “It’s shocking to me that this could have even gotten through this way,� Ms. Kopel told the News-Press. “How can that happen? What is the point of voting?� The property owner opposes the proposed rent cap, saying it targets property owners as a whole. “There’s something bizarre about all of the sudden picking a private group of Americans who worked their whole lives and making them personally responsible for other individuals in the state,� Ms. Kopel said. “They’re now carrying them. They’re privately providing welfare for these people.� She said that the rent cap wouldn’t only hurt the property owners, but the tenants too. “The big guys who have professional managements’ rents are usually right up there, but for the little Mom ‘n’ Pops, these people tend to fall in love with their tenants,� she said. “They tend to give them breaks, and now they’ve been really penalized and hurt.� The property manager concluded that she’s concerned with building maintenance and the fact that the program isn’t “needs-based.� “When rent control like this is not need-based, there are people in some of these units who have more income than the owners,� Ms. Kopel said. “Then they (the owners) can’t afford to maintain their properties. You really can’t have something that’s statewide and then decide to put these

massive problems on the backs of a group of private individuals. It’s grossly unAmerican.� Laura Bode, the executive director of the Santa Barbara Rental Property Association, told the News-Press the organization does not have enough information on the initiative to comment, so it will wait until there is a public hearing and conversation. However, she did include comments regarding the current state of the association’s properties. “Our members are paying the expenses of keeping renters housed -- even those who can’t pay rent,� Ms. Bode said. “According to a July 2020 study by the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals and UC Berkeley’s Terner Center of Housing, 25% of Mom ‘n’ Pop landlords were already borrowing money in June to cover a shortfall in rent. “Most of our members are small “Mom ‘n’ Pops� that own at most a couple units. They are typically well below market-rate rents. They aren’t professional investors. They hold jobs to support their families. Some of them have also experienced layoffs and reduction in job income,� she continued. Ms. Bode said that as the association enters the fifth month of renters unable to pay, she is hearing from more and more Mom ‘n’ Pop owners that they need to sell because they cannot pay the bills. “Why should other Santa Barbarians care? Because when a Mom ‘n’ Pop sells, their belowmarket rental unit disappears,� she concluded. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

he U.S. Postal Service restored drive-through mail boxes Monday at its branch at 130 S. Patterson Ave., Goleta. The boxes were removed late last week, and Goleta Mayor Paula Perotte told the NewsPress the city requested the boxes be reinstalled. Earlier on Monday, U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, tweeted that the boxes would return. Before the boxes were reinstalled, a fan or fans of the U.S. Postal Service left flowers and a note referring to the fact that inventor Benjamin Franklin was the service’s first postmaster general.

Little League suffers big loss with the passing of Coach Buddy

VILLARREAL, José G.

José G. Villarreal, longtime resident of Santa Barbara, passed away August 11, 2020. José came to Santa Barbara, CA from Chihuahua, Chih., Mexico. He is preceded in death by: his parents, Hesiquio Villarreal González and Petra Guerrero de Villarreal; his siblings, Carmen Villarreal Vda. de Castaño, Andrés Villarreal Guerrero, Luis Villarreal Guerrero, Elena Villarreal de Garza, and Chuy Villarreal Guerrero; seven half-brothers and sisters; his first wife, Juanita Gutierrez de Villarreal; his second wife, Sharon Kay Villarreal; and beloved daughter, Helen Elizabeth Villarreal Kozik (Chris). José is survived and will be forever missed by his beloved children, Joe Villarreal (Cecilia), Sharon Marie Villarreal, Richard Louis Villarreal (Ana), and Alice Jennine Villarreal Redit (Wayne); his precious grandchildren, Elizabeth Maribel Villarreal, Chloe Marie Redit, and Sarah Ivy Redit; countless nieces and nephews; and numerous lifelong friends. José had some formal education, including accounting school. He was an avid reader and seeker of knowledge. He came to California as a young man, with no possessions or family. He taught himself English by reading newspapers and with any extra money he made washing dishes and other odd jobs, he enrolled in English classes. He worked his way up the ladder to become chef of the Coral Casino of the Santa Barbara Biltmore under his mentor, the renowned Chef de Cuisine, Jacques La Borgne. He worked there 25 years and was honored for his dedication and precision, before accepting the position of Executive Chef at La Cumbre Golf and Country Club, where he provided excellent service for the next 25 years. Guests and co-workers alike took notice of his leadership and hospitality. José often worked 12 to 16 hour days, splitting his shifts in order to attend his five children’s school and sports activities. His dedication to his work was exemplified by the fact that he rarely took a day off work. Among José’s proudest moments was his becoming a naturalized U.S citizen in 1968, alongside his dear sister-in-law, Lucy Gutierrez Ortiz but he always remained proud of his Mexican heritage. Once a citizen, he never missed voting in any election and became informed and involved in his community. He supported workers’ rights and in his later life, was able to more actively participate in his community. He attended community information meetings, particularly those affecting the Eastside of SB and advocated for immigrants’ rights. José was a long-time member of Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish as well as the Knights of Columbus. He was proud to participate in the SBPD “ridealong” program and was mentioned a few times in the SB News-Press for his efforts to improve the local community. He was especially happy when volunteering with “Food from the Heart,” where he met many friends, like Grover Barnes. José was honored to have known Mr. Barnes, who was 100 years young. He always had a few minutes to talk while delivering meals to those in need. José was also proud to have met the wonderful chef there, Robin Monroe, who always referred to him as “Mr. José.”

The late Rick “Buddy” Wolin, a developmentally challenged coach, makes like Superman and shouts “Up, Up, and Away!” to fire up a Dos Pueblos Little League team during a game in 2004.

By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

The Dos Pueblos Little League has lost its best buddy. Rick “Buddy” Wolin, a special-needs graduate of Devereaux School and the face of Goleta’s youth baseball league for the last four decades, passed away on Saturday after a bout with cancer. He was 70. “My heart is broken … and heaven is happy,” said Donna Demeter, one of the many Little League moms who took Wolin under their wing. “He affected my life in such a positive way.” Wolin helped coach and support countless DPLL teams over the years. He’d ring in each season by leading a cheer during the Opening Day ceremonies. The Little Leaguers would finish it off each time with a resounding shout of “Charge!” The kids nicknamed him “Buddy” because that’s what he always called them. “I have a lot of great buddies here,” Wolin said after one Opening Day ceremony. “They come to learn and they come to have fun. “I do this because I love kids so much. I’m going to keep doing it for as long as I can. Baseball keeps me young.” Wolin’s relationship with the DP Little League began during the early 1980s when he’d ride his bike from Devereaux to watch the games. He eventually volunteered to coach. “He kept coming back, and as the years went by, a lot of the moms started taking care of him,” said Dan Rohde, who coached four sons in the DPLL. “His family lived back in Chicago, so a lot of our families invited him to dinner … We’d have him over once a month. “It kind of progressed into him becoming more involved with the league … becoming an honorary coach.” Everybody in the Goleta Valley soon got to know Buddy. “As the years went by, he built and kept relationships,” long-time coach Ralph Randall said. “He rarely forgot anybody who ever played or coached there. “It always amazed me how well the young kids, as well as the teenagers, related to him.” Buddy became the good-luck charm for Rohde’s All-Stars in 2006 when they won the State Little League Championship for 9- and 10-year-olds. “He showed up when we all met to take my motorhome to our first game in Temple City,” Rohde said. “I told him, ‘Buddy, you can’t go. We’ve got all these kids to deal with.’ …And he started crying. “As I was loading up the kids, he kept saying, ‘Why was I born like this? Why was I born like this?’ I was glad to be wearing sunglasses because I had tears in my eyes, too, watching Buddy wave goodbye to us.” The team lost its State Tournament opener

to Rancho San Diego. The kids admonished Rohde afterward, saying, “You should’ve brought Buddy! You should’ve brought Buddy!” “The kids loved having him around so much because he was always so positive with them,” he said. “They really fed off that.” And Buddy made sure he was there for them the rest of the tournament. While the team stayed overnight in a motel, he kept hitching rides to Temple City with various parents to watch the next six games. Rohde’s all-stars won each one. “I’m not a superstitious guy,” he said, “but I remember looking over my shoulder as we warmed up for the championship game, thinking, ‘He’d better pop out of one of these cars pretty soon.’ “Sure enough, he eventually did, and we beat Upland, 4-0. I’m pretty certain he brought some sort of magic to these kids.” Wolin had standing dinner dates with several DP Little League families. He dined with the family of Troy and Cheri Davis nearly every Sunday for the last 15 years. “I’m not sure if it started when Garrett was playing YFL football when he was 8, or when Ryan was playing on DP Little League’s 9-and10 all-stars,” Cheri said. “Buddy was involved with a lot of teams. “But there are like eight families that have been looking after Buddy, having him over for dinner, taking him to the store or to pay his rent.” They included families like the Demeters, the Coffeys, the Tedeschi’s, the Cravens, the Bakers, and the Sotos. The O’Donnell family remained close to Wolin even after they moved to Westlake. “They’d pick him up and take him to their house for a night or two,” Demeter said. “He spent Thanksgiving with them the last couple of years, and Christmas with us for the last 10.” Wolin kept a positive attitude even after he was hospitalized with cancer. “He never complained, never wanted people to know he was in pain,” Demeter said. “I’d ask him how he was doing and he’d say, ‘Oh, hanging in there … How about you?’ “He even threw out the first pitch at Opening Day this year. He had to get out of his wheelchair to do it. It was pretty emotional.” Wolin was eventually placed at the Californian, a nursing and rehabilitation center in downtown Santa Barbara. The COVID-19 pandemic left him unable to receive visitors. “We could only talk to him through the window, and he’d want to give everybody a hug,” Davis said. “That was the real hard part. “But his Little League families arranged a car caravan with signs, and the personnel there moved him to a window so he could see it. It was a pretty good turnout, too. That was

‘Open your windows at night, take cold showers’ HEAT

Continued from Page A1 Santa Ynez Valley have been designated with excessive heat warnings by the NWS, and the Santa Ynez Valley with a heat advisory. These designations are expected to remain through Thursday, according to NWS meteorologist Lisa Phillips. Santa Barbara Airport is forecasted to be somewhat cooler than either the inland areas or the city of Santa Barbara, with high temperatures in the mid 80s through Thursday, and in the low 80s on Monday. Low temperatures at the airport will likely be in the low to mid 60s. Beyond drinking plenty of water and going near the coastal areas to cool off, Ms. Phillips gave a few recommendations for local residents trying to beat the heat in their homes.

As a youth, José was a talented athlete. He played baseball and basketball and trained as an amateur boxer. He also for a time was being groomed to become a bullfighter. José passed on his passion for sports to his children, all of whom played sports in high school. José was known as the “walking encyclopedia” of boxing. He was proud to be a loyal Dodger fan. He attended many games and took his children when he could. He enjoyed watching and answering the questions on “Jeopardy” and “Wheel of Fortune.” Though he did not acknowledge it, his wealth of vocabulary, and knowledge of world events, politics, and history was noted by his family and friends. He loved watching classic movies, especially westerns. After working for more than fifty years and raising five children, José was finally able to spend some time on himself. He was never happier than when his siblings would come to visit him from Chihuahua, or he would visit them. He enjoyed the occasional lunch with his friends. He prided himself on the care of his plants and many fruit trees, and loved to watch the birds take baths in his garden. His most treasured times were those spent with family. He doted on his three grandchildren and loved to spoil each of them. He will be remembered for instilling in his children and grandchildren his Catholic faith in God, the value of a dollar, gratitude for family, and a strong work ethic. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, a Rosary is not permitted. Funeral Mass will be at 10 am Fri., Aug. 21 at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church followed by Interment at Calvary Cemetery in Santa Barbara. Face coverings are required. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in José’s name to Food from the Heart in Santa Barbara. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated at Our Lady of Guadalupe on Friday, August 21, 2020, at 10:00 am, followed immediately by the Interment service at Calvary Cemetery. Face coverings are required at all services. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in José’s memory to Food from the Heart, 909 N La Cumbre Road, Santa Barbara, CA 93110.

pretty special.” Buddy’s brother, Jeff Wolin, also arranged to have Dodger manager Dave Roberts and star player Justin Turner give him a phone call of encouragement. “He was a huge Dodger fan,” Davis said. “I heard they talked with him for about 20 minutes. I’m sure that was a dream come true for Buddy.” Her three children — Ryan, Garrett, and daughter Cherise Elizabeth — made one last trip to Wolin’s window just before he died. “He had a special place in all our hearts — it meant a lot to me that we were able to say our goodbyes,” Cheri said. “Ryan wrote on Facebook that, ‘We lost the most positive, kind, caring, purest and loving human on planet earth,’ and I thought that was the perfect way to describe Buddy.” Meredith O’Donnell put it another way, recalling a phrase that Buddy liked to use. “We have to go back,” he’d say, “because I left my heart.” It will remain there now, kept in good care in hundreds of Goleta homes. email: mpatton@newspress.com

La Stella, Trout power Angels to victory Tommy La Stella hit a two-run walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth to give the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim a 7-6 win over the San Francisco Giants on Monday night at Angel Stadium.

Mike Trout also belted his 10th home run of the season in the third inning for the Angels, who broke a four-game losing streak.

Brandon Belt also homered and drove in a pair of runs for San Francisco, which has lost five straight. In Los Angeles, the Dodgers won a slugfest against the Seattle Mariners, 11-9. Mookie Betts and Corey Seager proved to be a potent combination at the top of the order for L.A., as both homered and combined for five runs batted in. Seager finished 2-for-4 with three RBIS, while Betts was 2-for-5 with a pair of runs batted in. The Dodgers improved to 17-7 with their sixth straight win.
