Elementary More poor air quality schools open forecasted for this week

under waivers SB Unified, meanwhile, decides not to seek waivers for its grade schools By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Fog extends Monday morning from Lake Cachuma to Santa Barbara.

By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Though air quality in Santa Barbara is expected to be unhealthy for sensitive individuals today, this is still slightly better air quality than on Monday. According to Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District public information officer Lyz Hoffman, Santa Barbara’s air

quality today is forecasted to be “unhealthy for sensitive groups” countywide, due to smoke blowing into the area from the wildfires raging across California and the greater West Coast. Sensitive groups include children, seniors, pregnant women, and individuals with heart and lung conditions. Monday’s air quality was deemed “unhealthy,” the third most severe air pollution ranking under “very unhealthy” and

“hazardous.” When speaking to the News-Press on Monday, the Air Pollution Control District didn’t have air quality predictions for the next several days since it only takes two-day forecasts, but Ms. Hoffman remarked that air quality will remain at today’s level for most of this week. “As of now, our forecast is expecting Please see WEATHER on A2

Coastline Christian Academy Principal Deedee Underwood says Monday’s in-person reopening felt different because of the COVID-19 protocols. During a News-Press interview, she didn’t have much worry in her voice and said her staff has been amazing. “Even with following all the protocol, they’re just joyful to have the students back,” she said. Monday, four schools opened their elementary-age classrooms: Coastline Christian Academy in Goleta, The Knox School in Santa Barbara, the Family School in Los Olivos and the Laguna Blanca campuses in Montecito and Hope Ranch in Santa Barbara. In order for a school to re-open for in-person classes, county and state officials must review the school’s plans and approve it for a reopening waiver. As of Monday, eight Santa Barbara County schools received waivers. The Waldorf School opened Sept. 9 in Goleta. Pacific Christian School is

slowly opening this week in Santa Maria, starting with kindergarten and first grade Monday and adding two more grade levels each day. The Howard School plans to open Sept. 21 in Carpinteria. Principal Underwood said she is following CDC procedures and keeping classrooms to 14 or fewer students at Coastline Christian Academy. Now that the school is able to reopen, she said enrollment has increased. Meanwhile, the Santa Barbara Unified School District announced Monday night that it will not seek waivers for its elementary schools. “We surveyed our community partners as well as our elementary staff and families and learned that there was not overwhelming support for reopening elementary schools under the waiver,” said Santa Barbara Unified Superintendent Hilda Maldonado in a statement. “Furthermore, the majority of our elementary staff members did not support the waiver.” email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

What is Teen Talk? Here’s a look at SB Unified’s controversial sexual health curriculum By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Public comments, both supporting and opposing a new sex education program, were expressed Sept. 8 during a heated Santa Barbara Unified school board meeting. Many complained that the Teen Talk curriculum is pornographic. Despite the controversy, the board unanimously decided to adopt Teen Talk. Board Vice President Dr. Jacqueline Reid and Board President Laura Capps expressed they’d like teachers to review the

information and modify the curriculum for the district. “It is time to move forward with a curriculum that’s compliant, that’s data-driven,” Ms. Capps said. “There’s so much misinformation out there; we need to empower our students with correct information.” An overview by the curriculum provider for Teen Talk is posted online. It gives a look at the 12-session curriculum.

Waterfront loses thousands of dollars from Labor Day closures Forest Service extends Chuck’s Waterfront Grill state-wide campsite and Endless Summer Bar and picnic area closures Cafe close permanently By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara Waterfront Department closed all of its parking lots except the Harbor Main and Stearns Wharf lots over Labor Day weekend from Friday through Monday.

Closing these lots resulted in the direct revenue loss of roughly $39,500 to the Waterfront Department, according to Mike Wiltshire, the waterfront director. That number is based off of historical revenues for Labor Day weekend. Mr. Wiltshire told the News-Press it’s likely the limited

parking impacted the Waterfront businesses as well, “but it’s a little tougher to quantify those types of losses.� However, despite the loss, city officials stand by their decision to close the lots to help limit the influx of out of town visitors. “Even with the closures, the

waterfront and beaches were extremely busy,� Mr. Wiltshire said. “It’s a tough balance, but it can’t be ignored that we are still very much in the middle of a pandemic. This requires some tough decisions that inevitably impact the Waterfront community and its users.�

Mayor Cathy Murillo echoed the support for the closures. “The city and county restricted access to the beaches over the holiday weekend to prevent overcrowding that might result in COVID-19 virus transmission,� she told the News-Press. “We are at a critical point in the pandemic

trying to keep our numbers low in terms of new positive cases, as we want to fully open up commerce and schools.� The city and county also closed the beaches and parking lots for the Fourth of July weekend.

Beaches remain open after all; county announces 11 new COVID cases, largest since last week For $40, local residents can also make their own HEPA filters by purchasing a 20-inch by 20-inch box fan and duct taping a MERV filter of the same dimensions to its back. As it can be a fire hazard, a homemade HEPA should be turned off while one is sleeping and shouldn’t be left unattended. Santa Barbara’s outside high temperature will be 86 degrees today and is forecasted to be the

same on Wednesday. This is the beginning of a warming trend after last week, which National Weather Service meteorologist Kristen Stewart said is due to smoke starting to thin out. Thursday’s high temperature for Santa Barbara is expected to drop slightly from the previous days and hit 83 degrees, while Friday is expected to warm up again with a high temperature of 87 degrees.

is forecasted to experience a significant cool down, with Saturday and Sunday reaching high temperatures of 74 and 72 degrees, respectively.

conditions to stay pretty much the same, at least until Thursday,� she said. Ms. Hoffman said the poor air quality is largely due to the smoke bringing high levels of particulate matter, with local ozone levels largely unaffected by the smoke. She added that it’s not clear exactly which of the many fires has produced most of the smoke blowing into Santa Barbara County. “At this point, given the volume of the fires across the West Coast, it’s hard to pinpoint it to one fire in particular,� she said.

Santa Barbara Symphony joins Westmont College in partnership By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara Symphony has entered into a strategic partnership with Westmont College, offering the symphony’s students an opportunity to see what it’s like to pursue music in college and beyond. Through its Music Education Center, which includes the beginner Camerata Ensemble, intermediate Philharmonia Orchestra and advanced Santa Barbara Youth Symphony, the Santa Barbara Symphony offers a continuum of music education programs to students in elementary grades, junior high and high school. According to symphony music and artistic director Nir Kabaretti, the recent partnership with Westmont College extends that continuum into college by pairing the MEC’s younger students with Westmont music students, who serve as mentors. Kristine Pacheco-Bernt, the symphony’s director of music education, expressed that she is very pleased with the arrangement with Westmont. “Their music department is full of really wonderful students who are really wonderful musicians, so they’re the perfect mentors to our students,” she said.

The broadened continuum also provides the opportunity for Westmont music students to experience what it’s like performing in a professional symphony. Once the COVID-19 pandemic passes, restrictions are lifted and concerts can proceed as normal, Westmont musicians will be able to enter an apprentice program through which they can learn from a professional Santa Barbara Symphony musician and even play onstage with the ensemble as an additional musician. Through this partnership, Michael Shasberger, Westmont’s Adams Chair of Music and Worship, and Daniel Gee, an assistant music professor, have created a music history and theory curriculum for MEC students to learn virtually. Dr. Shasberger told the NewsPress that these lessons will be taught in conjunction with the MEC students’ rehearsals, also conducted virtually, and will enrich the students’ understanding of the music they rehearse. “They’ll understand the music they’re making more broadly and understand what it means not just to play, but study music,” he said. Serving as the main connection between the Santa Barbara Symphony and Westmont College will be Yvette Devereaux, who

Nir Kabaretti, conductor and music director of the Santa Barbara Symphony, praised the orchestra’s new partnership with Westmont College.

recently took over as conductor of the Santa Barbara Youth Symphony. A violinist, Dr. Devereaux formerly did string coaching at Westmont College, but now serves as its conducting artist and community liaison, a position dedicated to providing communication between the Symphony and Westmont. Dr. Shasberger said of Dr. Devereaux’s position, “We’ve never had an appointment that was geared toward connecting us. That’s a unique and new role we’re really thrilled with.” In an interview with the News-Press, Dr. Deveraux expressed pleasure that under this arrangement, “Westmont faculty can come to the youth orchestra and present an artistic curriculum and provide teaching opportunities.” The expanded program provides the opportunity for grade school kids to experience what it’s like to study music in college, and if they so desire, make music their profession. But Mr. Kabaretti said making more professional musicians is not the ultimate point of the symphony-Westmont partnership. “My mission is not to produce more professional musicians … my mission is to create a better experience for them in the art,” the artistic director said. Mr. Kabaretti said he sees the program helping students regardless of their final career.

“I think that it will develop their curiosity, that it will develop their creativity, which essentially will be the best way to measure their success in life in other things.”

The Goleta Water District raised its water rates by 19% this year, but continues to have rates lower than the rates at other public water agencies on the South Coast.

Goleta Water District increases rates By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Goleta Water District increased its water rates by approximately 19% this year across the customer categories. This increase occurs every five years, and came from a Cost of Service study earlier this year, with public board and committee meetings held throughout the process. The board adopted the new rate structure in June and the new rates took effect in July, according to the District’s board president, Lauren Hanson. “The Goleta Water District’s water rates reflect the cost of continuing to provide the safe, reliable water service that the Goleta Valley community expects,” Ms. Hanson told the News-Press. “A major

component of rates is the cost of water supplied from the federal and state governments —- that’s water from Lake Cachuma and from the State Water Project, respectively. That’s a cost the district does not control.” She added that the rates reflect infrastructure costs that utilities throughout the country face, yet the district’s rates continue to be lower than the rates at other public water agencies on the South Coast. The president also mentioned that if anyone has difficulty with their bills, the district offers payment plans and is ready to help. “It just takes a phone call to the district,” she said.

Contest for kids Goleta, Santa Ynez Valley libraries sponsor Bookmark Design Contest By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

E

ven though they are closed to the public because of COVID-19, the Goleta and Santa Ynez Valley libraries aren’t letting the pandemic prevent them from holding their annual Bookmark Design Contest this fall. All kids 12 and younger are eligible to participate in the virtual event, which has two different themes — “Every Book Is an Adventure . . .” at the Goleta Valley Library and “A Friend Is . . .” at the Santa Ynez Valley libraries, which include Buellton, Solvang, Los Olivos and Santa Ynez. The deadline for entries is Sept. 30. There will be boxes for submitting them outside each library during sidewalk service hours from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. Entries will be considered in four age categories — age 3 and under, ages 4 to 6, ages 7 to 9 and ages 10 to 12. Winners will be announced for both contests on Oct. 13, and their work will be shared via social media and printed for distribution in Sidewalk Service bags during the month of November. Winners will also receive a certificate of participation and a gift card from Blenders in the Grass, which is sponsoring both contests. “The Goleta Valley Library has been running its annual Bookmark Design Contest for many years, and staff is thrilled to be able to offer the contest this year even while the library is closed to the public. During these challenging months, it is so important for children to take time to be creative and to celebrate the themes of adventure, individuality and friendship,” said Elizabeth Saucedo, children’s librarian. “There is a limit of one entry per participant, and entrants are encouraged to let their imagination run wild.” Carey McKinnon, branch supervisor of the Solvang Library, said, “We love seeing the creativity and imagination of these young artists. And so do the patrons when they pick up bookmarks after the contest.” While digging into files at the library, she found some “fun old images,” including a photo of the 2001 winners and some of the designs from 2000-2003 contests. “The contest was instigated back then by the wonderful children’s librarian, Shirley Morrison. It was timed to be able to celebrate the winners during Children’s Book Week in November,” said Ms. McKinnon. “Now that the Santa Ynez Valley Libraries are with the Goleta Valley Library, we are Please see bookmarks on A6

so happy to renew this lovely tradition. It is such a simple program and so delightful because children’s creativity in art is just boundless. The Friends of the Library of Santa Ynez Valley sponsored it then and still do. “Back then, the winning designs were printed on bookbags as a fundraiser. Of course, we didn’t have a color copier, so all the designs had to be black ink which we reprinted on colored paper. It’s very different now. We ask the children to be as colorful as they like in their designs.� email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

It’s time to adjust expectations in our work, play and families

W

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2020

hatever your feelings and beliefs about COVID-19, it is painfully obvious to most people that life has changed and will remain different for some time to come. With the massive changes that we’re experiencing, realigning our expectations will help us cope. Writing off 2020 is not really going to help you emotionally. Putting your plans on hold is not the same as putting your whole life on hold, although it is easy to fall into the trap of believing otherwise. None of us expected this massive adversity, and we are learning how to deal with it as best we can, one day at a time, just bumping along. For me, staying healthy is the most important thing, but economic survival is a part of that. Jobs, businesses and careers are going away in many areas. Even Hollywood is finding it difficult to survive, and we need entertainment now more than ever. With no live audiences or even on-set productions, many actors, musicians, athletes and many others are struggling to navigate the coronavirus course corrections we are all forced to make. We all have to accept that we won’t be able to accomplish certain things for now and recognize that

we may lose some traction, if not our footing, along the way. We have to change our priorities to get through this life-alternating event. That’s the whole point: getting through it. Getting back to normal is not going to happen for a few years, and whatever the new normal is will be different from what we knew before. Yes, it will take that much time to mop up the destruction that this disease has done to our country and our world. And some of the changes in how we work and play will never return to what they were. This is why adjusting our expectations is so important to peace of mind. For example, I know that my on-set therapy practice will never come back, not in my working years. I clearly see that as reality, and while I can continue to consult, it will all be done remotely. The biggest loss is not the money but the people. Being on a set is where you make magic happen, and that’s because of the creative minds all working together in the same space. I know I can’t take part in that any longer, so I have to adjust my expectations accordingly as well as deal with some disappointment. One of the expectations we all have to adjust to is how we socially

interact. Many families who are home schooling are doing it as family pods. Several families share the teaching duties, and the kids get to socialize, but in small groups. This way, everyone’s health can be monitored, and life can go on a little more normally for the most important ones, our kids. Pods are also a good way to socialize as adults. When small groups agree to hang out and work together, it can create a positive extended-family atmosphere. Yes, the logistics may be complicated, especially at the start, but it can work if everyone follows the health guidelines and group rules. Who knows? Maybe communes will come back as a way of life for some of us. If you can make your life comfortable and have human interaction, you are in far better shape than many people in this world. By adjusting your expectations to fit the current situation, you can create an acceptable life and find a great deal of contentment in that.

Horoscope.com Tuesday, September 15, 2020

ARIES — Yes, you may have another cookie, Aries. Enjoy it and don’t feel guilty. Guilt is useless. Today, get rid of regret. Express your emotions but don’t dwell on them. Your sensitivity is acute, so put up your psychic shield. You might pick up on others’ intense energy, so be careful. Sympathize with others, but don’t take on their garbage. They need to take out their own trash. TAURUS — You might just want to stay on the couch today, Taurus. That’s fine. Don’t get up if you don’t want to. You’re probably better off sticking close to home and enjoying a good movie tonight. If people ask how you’re doing, be honest. Others will be able to see right through you, so don’t try to hide your feelings. Today is a good day to say how you really feel. GEMINI — Finally, the world is starting to see it your way, Gemini. Be yourself and don’t be squeamish about telling people exactly how it is. Your thinking is clear and focused. Use your penetrating mind to accomplish mental tasks. Your intense nature is powerful, so act wisely. Today may well be one in which other people realize that you really aren’t as crazy as they first thought. CANCER — Give people the benefit of the doubt, Cancer. Don’t be so hasty in your actions, and take the time to think things through. You have a special connection with your feelings today that can aid in clearing some of the fog in your thinking. Your sensitivity to others is remarkably strong. People will be particularly drawn to this side of you, especially tonight. LEO — Put your businesslike nature aside for the day and focus on your feelings, Leo. You may be a bit protective of your emotions, but realize that much of what you’re feeling is best experienced through expressing it to others. Reach down deep and get in touch with what you truly believe to be the heart of the issue. Your thinking is clear as can be today, so enjoy it! VIRGO — Call or write a letter to a friend today, Virgo. Your brain may feel like it’s stuck in a rut, which is probably best remedied by sharing these feelings with others. Take it one step at a time, and be patient with others in return. People are likely to snap more easily since fuses will be extra short. Take care as you approach the deep end. Make sure +*#!2 +1$)"$

you have your life jacket on. LIBRA — Things flow well for you today, Libra, so bask in any sunshine that this day offers. Your intuition is especially strong, and you have an uncanny ability to pick up on other people’s feelings. Your nurturing gifts are in high demand by those around you. They’ll need a sensitive shoulder to lean on. Just make sure you don’t lose yourself in the process. Save some energy for you. SCORPIO — Other people’s indecisiveness could leave you feeling frustrated and stuck today, Scorpio. Realize that you can overcome this by pushing past them. Don’t feel like you need to wait for others to make up their minds before you act. Do what you need to do, and others will catch up when they’re ready. You aren’t responsible for the well-being of others. Concentrate on you. SAGITTARIUS — It may be much easier than usual to express your emotions to someone today, Sagittarius. If there has been something on your mind for a while, now is the time to say it. You’ll be able to paint a clear picture of your true feelings. Express yourself with confidence so you don’t come across as helpless or clingy. Your sensitivity is a gift that others will recognize and appreciate. CAPRICORN — Does it feel like someone’s raining on your parade today, Capricorn? No surprise there. You may feel like you’re stuck in a bog, so wear your galoshes and give it your best shot. That’s all you can do. People may be extra touchy and impatient with ridiculous banter, even if it is polite. Try not to make sense of things that seem confusing now. Come back to them in a couple days. AQUARIUS — Your intuition is extra keen today, Aquarius, and your mental aim is on target. Other people may sink into the swamp, but you’re the life raft they can cling to. Your amazing mental clarity will be invaluable throughout the day. You’ll be able to communicate your feelings clearly, and you should find their receptivity to your thoughts much greater than usual. PISCES — You might find the mood of today a bit too somber for your liking, Pisces. Why is everyone so serious? Whether you figure out the answer or not, just know that it probably isn’t something you did. Emotions that have been building up are likely to express themselves now, much like a volcano bursting under the pressure of tons of molten lava.

Q P G K Z R L E C F W

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.

COLLEGE NOTEBOOK

UCSB goalkeeper named vice-chair of ‘Big West Undivided’ By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Sophomore Evann Smith, a goalkeeper on the UCSB women’s soccer team, helped raise nearly $80,000 this summer in the battle against racial injustice. Now she wants to raise awareness. Smith, an honors student who plans to major in either economics or psychology, was named by the Big West Conference as vice-chair of its newly formed Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee. The committee is comprised of one administrator and one student-athlete from each of the Big West’s 11 member institutions. Christina Baglas, UCSB’s deputy athletics director for development, was also selected to the committee while UC San Diego director of athletics Earl Edwards was named as chair. The conference described the mission of the committee — known as Big West Undivided — as a “united front to combat racism, fight for social justice, and proudly support the Black Lives Matter movement and other nonviolent organizations alongside its coaches and student-athletes.� “Athletes across the world are fueled with passion to fight for equality and against injustices,� Smith said. “Big West Undivided is a vessel for student-athletes and staff alike to inspire and create sustainable change inside our athletic communities. “It is extremely invigorating to be a part of a committee that is action-oriented and filled with determined members.� The committee plans to work with the conference’s SAAC (Student Athlete Advisory Committee) on “voter initiatives encouraging student-athletes to take part in the electoral process by providing nonpartisan resources and registration information.� Big West Undivided listed four guiding pillars: “Educating committee members and league constituents on the importance of diversity and inclusion. Empowering student-athletes and administrators to find the voice to fight injustice. Holding

those in campus communities and departments accountable for their actions and speech. Creating lasting change in campuses and communities through peaceful means and initiatives.� The committee has held three meetings so far. Smith’s activism began immediately after the May 25 death of George Floyd. She and a handful of college athletes organized a GoFundMe account with an initial goal of raising $1,000 for Black Lives Matter. They wound up drawing participation from more than 200 schools while raising nearly $80,000. “It just blows my mind how much support was given to us, the athletic community, and to the Black Lives Matter movement,� Smith said. One of the fund-raisers was a walk, run, bike and-or swim of 8.46 miles, which represented the eight minutes and 46 seconds that a police officer was videoed pinning Floyd’s neck to the ground with his knee. “This event made me realize that activism isn’t just through protest,� Smith said. “You can use different avenues to support positive changes.� Smith’s fall season with the Gaucho soccer team has been delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. She played in UCSB’s final three matches of last year, recording 13 saves, after senior goalkeeper Hanna DeWeese suffered a wrist injury. She was one of 12 UCSB women’s soccer players honored by the Big West for registering a grade-point average of 3.51 or higher last year. WESTMONT GRADUATE TO KEEP PITCHING AT AZUSA

Pitcher Cory Dawson will get the chance to continue his baseball career even though he graduated from Westmont College last spring. Dawson, who had his senior season with the Warriors curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic, plans to pitch next season as a graduate student at Azusa Pacific. All spring athletes were granted an extra year of eligibility because of last

Classiďƒžed

year’s shortened season. Westmont, however, does not have a graduate school. Warriors coach Robert Ruiz, who served as an assistant coach at Azusa for five years, helped arrange Dawson’s graduate transfer. Dawson plans to pursue a master’s in business administration. “He was our number one starter and in any other normal year in the MLB Draft he was a likely selection at the end of the season,� Ruiz said. “However, not only did his season get cut short, but so did the MLB Draft (from 40 rounds to just five). “I couldn’t be happier that he has found a way to continue to pursue his education and pitch another season of college baseball, with the hopes of moving on to the professional level after that. I can’t think of a more deserving person for an opportunity like this.� Dawson, who received All-Golden State Athletic Conference honors as a junior in 2019, was having another big season when the coronavirus halted play. He had posted a win-loss record of 5-1 with an earned run average of 2.91. His 63 strikeouts led the league and ranked fourth in the NAIA. “I have so many great memories from my time at Westmont, and I am so glad that I was able to go there for four years,� Dawson said. “I will always remember the friendships that I made with my teammates and the little things like playing Mafia on the bus after a series win. I was always excited to go to practice every day because I knew that I would have a good time hanging out and competing with my friends. “I’m proud to consider myself a Westmont alum and I’m looking forward to what this year has in store for me at APU.� Dawson finishes his Westmont career ranked ninth in school history in strikeouts (171) and 14th in wins. “Cory meant a great deal to our program,� Ruiz said. “He was a leader on the field, in the classroom and in our community. He earned respect by doing things the right way day in and day out. There is a reason he got better every year.

UCSB soccer goalkeeper Evann Smith (23) was one of nine freshmen to play for the Gaucho women last year and was one of three to start at least one match. She is flanked by four other rookies from last year: defender Emily Johnson (9), midfielder Sydney Arrillaga (30), midfielder Elizabeth Ramirez (28), and defender Claire Pappas (15). Another one of last year’s freshmen, Dylan Lewis, scored three goals and assisted two others while starting 16 matches.

Round Table names Coach of the Year Award after Westmont’s Moore

LEWELLEN, Royce Rutledge Royce Lewellen, Santa Barbara County Superior Court Judge, cofounder of Lucas and Lewellen Vineyards, and community leader, died on September 2, 2020, at the age of 89. Royce Rutledge Lewellen was born in St. Louis, MO to Ursul and Helen Lewellen, and raised in Jefferson City, MO, with his sister Ann. Following graduation from the University of Missouri, he moved to California where he was stationed at George Air Force Base during the Korean War. Discovering the Sierra Nevada Mountains nearby, he then worked briefly as a forest ranger before entering and graduating from the UC Berkeley School of Law. He moved to Solvang with his former wife, Judith Johnson, where they raised their three sons Mark, Mike and Dave. He was a Justice of the Peace in the Santa Ynez Valley and later a Santa Barbara County Superior Court Judge, sitting in Santa Maria. He participated in many community organizations, through which he worked with his future wife of 16 years, the former Ann Foxworthy, then president of Allan Hancock College. Following retirement, he partnered with Louis Lucas to form Lucas and Lewellen Vineyards. He had a great love of backpacking, organizing annual trips until just last year, and in his later years of walking with friends and joining them on hiking vacations abroad. Lewellen had a distinguished legal career and was motivated to find work in a small town, where he could become involved in the community, and chose Solvang. In the 1960s and ‘70s, he was the part-time Justice of the Peace in the Santa Ynez Valley before being appointed a Superior Court judge. In that role he was idealistic about providing competent, fair and timely service, and advocated for improved court services in the northern part of the county. He held several statewide judicial positions, notably as a Director of the California Judges Association and the California Judges Marshals & Constables Association. The courthouse complex in Santa Maria was named in his honor – the Lewellen Justice Center. He also had an accomplished business career. He was at one time a co-owner and director of Contract Freighters, Inc. (CFI), a nationwide long-haul trucking company based in Joplin, Missouri that was founded by his father. He was president of the Solvang Business Association and Solvang Chamber of Commerce, a member of the Board of the UCSB Economic Forecast Project for the Santa Ynez Valley, and one of the founders and a long-time member of the board of Community Bank of Santa Maria. Following his retirement from the bench, he partnered with local vineyard pioneer Louis Lucas to develop high-quality vineyards, forming Lucas and Lewellen Vineyards. Before long they were making highly-rated wine as well, his son Mike entered the business, and they established two tasting rooms in Solvang – Lucas & Lewellen, and Toccata. Lewellen was a strong believer in community development and recognized locally and nationally for his philanthropy as evidenced in his involvement in a wide number of Santa Barbara County organizations. He was an elected Trustee on the Solvang School Board, President of the Solvang Rotary Club, and a founding Director of Solvang Theaterfest. He later served on the Allan Hancock College Foundation Board of Directors and was a founding Director of the PCPA Foundation. His service included membership on the boards of the Santa Maria YMCA and Family Service Agency of Santa Barbara. He was a Moderator of Santa Barbara Presbytery and president and member of the Santa Maria Wine & Food Society. He is survived by his wife, Ann Foxworthy Lewellen, his three sons, Mark, Michael and David Lewellen, and four grandsons, Carey, Bevan, Ian and Gavin Lewellen. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a contribution to the Solvang Theaterfest Capital Campaign (solvangfestivaltheater.org) or to PCPA (pcpa.org). A celebration of life will be scheduled at a later date.

John Moore, who retired last spring as Westmont College’s all-time winningest basketball coach with 558 victories, is pictured at the 2017 NAIA National Tournament in Kansas City, Mo.

By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Westmont College basketball coach John Moore, the sage of the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table’s Monday press luncheons, has received a retirement gift from that local booster organization. The Round Table announced last week that it is naming its annual College Coach of the Year Award after the Warriors’ longtime mentor. “He’d come every week, without fail, and would always conclude the luncheons with a thoughtful message that tied together all the coaches’ presentations,” Round Table board member Gary Cunningham said. “I think this is a fitting way to thank him for all that he’s contributed to this community.” Round Table president Ken Newendorp said Cunningham and several other board members approached him during their recent retreat and proposed the naming convention as a way “to honor John and keep him involved with us.” “He’s such a wonderful human being and the epitome of what you want in a coach,” Newendorp said. “Sure, he won a lot of basketball games, but he also did it with

character and integrity, and by being such a tremendous teacher.” Moore, who remains at Westmont as both an associate athletic director and associate professor of kinesiology, retired this spring as the Warriors’ basketball coach after 27 seasons. He set the school record for basketball coaching victories with 558 and, combined with his five seasons at Fresno Pacific, retired with a win-loss coaching record of 637-352. He also played point guard for the Warriors, handing out 422 assists — fourth all-time at Westmont — in just two seasons (1976-78) after having transferred from Cypress College. His appreciation for the Round Table began when former Westmont coach Chet Kammerer started to bring him to its press luncheons. “It was such a privilege to be there with Chet and the other athletes,” Moore said. “What the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table does is so different than in any other city. This is very uncommon and something that is very unique to the city of Santa Barbara. “To be a part of it in this way is stunning and it is a great privilege, so I’m thankful for that.” Moore was named NAIA National Coach of the Year last

March after leading Westmont (26-5) to the Golden State Athletic Conference championship. The Warriors were seeded No. 2 in their bracket for the NAIA National Tournament — the highest placement in their history — but the event was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. He won the Round Table College Coach of the Year Award in 2015 when he guided Westmont to the NAIA Tournament final for the first time in school history. He guided the Warriors to an NAIA National berth 14 times, including the last six seasons in a row — the longest streak in school history. “This is such a fitting recognition for coach Moore,” Warrior athletic director Dave Odell said. “Since the day he arrived at Westmont, John has been a wonderful representative of Westmont in the Santa Barbara sports community. “His Round Table luncheon talks are legendary and his appreciation and care for youth and high school sports are exemplary. I anticipate that many of the coaches that win this award will be among the many that John influenced during his time at Westmont.” The Round Table’s Coach of the Year awards for both the

collegiate and high school levels will be presented next May during its Evening with the Athletes. The organization has postponed the start of its Monday press luncheons until January because of the coronavirus. “Our goal is to come back from Christmas break and hopefully have the luncheons in person,” Newendorp said. “Obviously, it has to coincide with the resumption of the sports seasons and be in compliance with health department guidelines. “We might have to hold the luncheons outside somewhere. We’ve always partnered with Harry’s Plaza Café, so we’d like to see if that can be worked out. If not, we’ll look at other options, like perhaps having it at the carousel building at Chase Palm Park.” The Round Table’s Hall of Fame induction banquet, originally scheduled for next month, has been postponed until October of 2021. It does plan to award its Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award and Phil Womble Ethics in Sports Award beginning this month. They are presented to one athlete apiece from each of the area’s high schools and colleges. email: mpatton@newspress.com

knowledge. Then students get a summary about sexual anatomy and the reproduction cycle. The third lesson discusses gender identities and sexual orientation through a presentation on the “Genderbread Person.” It teaches students that there’s a range of gender identities, gender expression and sexual orientation. Many expressed appreciation that the curriculum is “nonjudgmental” during the board meeting. Others felt

uncomfortable discussing LGBTQ sexuality in a classroom. The fourth lesson is about abstinence. It acknowledges abstinence as the only 100% effective method to avoid pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Next, students learn the types of birth control and look at their effectiveness. The sixth lesson explains pregnancy options and reinforces benefits of waiting until adulthood. Teachers introduce sexually transmitted infections and their long-term effects. They outline contraceptives and their effectiveness at preventing these diseases while still promoting

respect and dignity for those who live with STDs. The lesson also demonstrates condom application. The eighth lesson answers questions about love and relationships. It helps students identify what a healthy relationship looks like and how it changes based on familial values and culture. Then the class discusses body image. Students evaluate culture and media’s effect and its influence on sexuality. Session 10 is about sexual assault. It identifies the right to refuse sex and what to do if assaulted. Teachers also explain how sexual exploitation can occur

online. Next, the curriculum culminates in a decision-making week. Students learn how to refuse sex and come up with a plan to protect sexual health. Lesson 12 is a review and an evaluation of what the students learned. “We’re not disregarding or taking away the responsibility of the parent,” board member Wendy Sims-Motem said. “If you feel so, then you have the right to say ‘This is not something my child should be exposed to,’ and we certainly want to respect that.” email: ahanshaw@newspress.com
