Verdicts on pick for Supreme Court
Proactive, not reactive
Local opinions on Amy Coney Barrett nomination split along party lines By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
President Donald Trump’s nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court has become an issue divided along party lines going into the 2020 general election. Democrats are demanding the recently departed Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat not be filled until after the election, and Republicans are calling for the seat to be filled before Nov. 3. By and large, this partisan split over Judge Barrett’s nomination to the Supreme Court is apparent in the opinions of local Democrats and Republicans. In an interview with the NewsPress, David Atkins, the California Democratic Party Region 10 director and the Santa Barbara County Democratic Central Committee south vice chair, said the Supreme Court nominee
harbors “extremist views about the law.” “She would be to the right of even (the late Justice) Antonin Scalia, and according to her record, she would roll back protections for workers, roll back environmental protections and almost certainly undue Roe v. Wade,” he said. Concerns over some of these issues were echoed in a statement from Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, who called Judge Barrett’s judicial record “troubling.” He added that the Supreme Court nomination should wait until after the election. “The majority of Americans believe we should wait until after the election to fill Justice Ginsburg’s seat, and I agree. The Affordable Care Act, Roe v. Wade, workplace rights, and the integrity of our democracy are all on the line,” he said. Please see barrett on A4

Through power outages, vegetation management, defensible space evaluations, forest closures, public workshops and increasingly rapid first responses, the Santa Barbara County Fire Department and Santa Barbara City Fire Department have each worked day in and day out to prevent wildland fires and protect local county residents. There are currently 27 major wildfires in California with more than 18,000 firefighters on the front lines. Red Flag Warnings remain in place over much of Northern California, according to Cal Fire as of Monday, and since the beginning of 2020, there have been more than 8,100 wildfires

that have burned more than 3.7 million acres in the state. While Santa Barbara County has avoided a large incident yet this year, memories of all-toorecent wildfires in the county linger, such as the 2019 Cave Fire in Los Padres National Forest; the 2018 Holiday Fire; the Jan. 9, 2018, Montecito mudslides that resulted from a high-intensity wildfire, the 2017 Thomas Fire burning 281,000 acres; the 2009 Jesusita Fire that blackened

nearly 9,000 acres and the 2008 Tea Fire destroying 210 homes, to name a few. “We’ve had so many largescale fires in Santa Barbara County that, yes, we are very lucky so far this year that we have not had any major ones,” said Daniel Bertucelli, PIO for the Santa Barbara County Fire Department. “But we’re not out of the woods yet. You never know when or how a fire is going to start.”
Mr. Bertucelli told the NewsPress that the county has the past fires to thank for burning fuel in the fields. A lot of the front country fields have burned within the last one to five years, which means the majority of the fields are no longer 30 to 40 years old. However, even more so to thank, he said, is the city and county fire departments providing “good, effective emergency response to the fires.” Please see fires on A10

Westmont professors discuss pandemics By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

There’s not an order against hiking trails,� said Andew Madsen, U.S. Forest Service spokesman. “We just want to make sure if people go out they’re safely spaced between one another. If you get to a trailhead and there’s just too many cars there, you should find a different area to go to as opposed to trying to get in.� As state and local responses to the coronavirus pandemic continue to evolve, the Forest Service felt that the situation warranted a two week extension of the closures, said Mr. Madsen. “At the end of that they’ll evaluate and see where we’re at and whether or not we’re going to continue as we need it,� said Mr. Madsen. “This order can be rescinded at any time. If local health officials say it looks like the sky has cleared up we can rescind the order tomorrow. For right now, we don’t want to extend it out too far. “We just want to make sure in the next couple of weeks as we monitor what’s going on that we are taking the appropriate steps along with our state and local partners.�

“Throughout the curriculum, we use the pronoun ‘they,’ instead of ‘he/she.’ Until recently, this was not grammatically correct, however it is now recognized as a generally accepted pronoun to ensure students of all gender identities feel included and respected.� (p. ix) “It is also important to remind students that some men have female anatomy and some women have male anatomy – this is the difference between gender (the feeling/identity) and sex (the physical body).� (p. 35)
“These are four key aspects to understand – Sex, Gender, Expression and Sexual Orientation. Each of the four categories can are [sic] connected, but also distinct. Most of these identities have two opposing ends, but there are many people who tend to fall somewhere in between.

Your biological sex, or sex assigned at birth, is typically determined medically by your body parts,hormones, and DNA.� (p. 80)
In the men’s competition, Westmont’s Caleb Mettler and fellow freshman Mitch Groff finished second and third, respectively. To adhere to COVID-19 safety protocols, the men’s and women’s meets were each split into two races. Westmont competed against Arizona Christian, Hope International and San Diego Christian. “It was youth day for the Warriors,� coach Russell Smelley said. “Kacie Kwan left no doubt she was out for the win as she led from start to finish in a solid time of 20:22.2. “She was relaxed throughout the race with a beautiful running stride and all smiles.� The top three finishers for the Westmont women were all
freshmen. Gretchen Scherrei followed Kwan by placing third in a time of 21:27.3. Jenae McInnes finished sixth (22:28.2). Abigail Stadtlander (ninth place, 22:49.4) and Abigail Edwards (10th place, 23:00.4) rounded out Westmont’s top-five. The Warriors’ team score of 29 was just three points behind firstplace Arizona Christian’s 26 in Race 2. In the men’s competition, Westmont’s Mettler and fellow freshman Mitch Groff finished second and third, respectively. They were followed in fourth place
by sophomore Adam King and in sixth by senior Chris Hanessian. Freshman Ben Reasner closed out the Warriors’ top five with a seventh-place effort. The Warriors’ team score of 21 was 16 points better than secondplace Arizona Christian. All of Westmont’s tune-up meets for the 2020 GSAC Championships will be against conference opposition. Its next competition will be a four-way meet at Westmont Oct. 9 at 4:30 p.m. email: mpatton:newspress.com
Opinions largely break along party lines barrett
Continued from Page A1 Mr. Atkins took issue with Republicans nominating Judge Barrett, whose nomination would give the GOP a “lock on the court for a generation that they didn’t earn.� This referred to the Republicans winning the presidency in the 2016 election via the Electoral College despite losing the popular vote. If President Trump were to emerge victorious during the 2020 election by winning the Electoral College without the popular vote, and only nominate Judge Barrett after that, Mr. Atkins said that would still be “an outrage.� In addition to unequal apportionment in the Senate and gerrymandering, Mr. Atkins said the Electoral College creates an “apartheid electoral system.� Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, D-Santa Barbara, said Judge Barrett is “an extreme ideological appointment� with a track record that indicates she will undermine efforts toward greater equity and undermine the Affordable Care Act. Referring back to 2016, when Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refused to hold proceedings to confirm President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court pick, Merrick Garland, because
it was an election year, Sen. Jackson accused the Republicans of hypocrisy for trying to get Judge Barrett confirmed with an election just over a month away. “This appointment really does undermine the integrity and the credibility and legitimacy of our court,� the senator said. Most well-known Santa Barbara Republicans were expectedly supportive of President Trump nominating Judge Barrett. Santa Barbara County GOP chair Bobbi McGinnis said she’s “thrilled� about the nomination. “I’m so glad that President Trump is selecting a woman and someone who is a constitutionalist. Someone who’s not going to write the law, but defend the law,� she said. As for the Democrats’ protestations about the timing of the nomination just over a month before the Nov. 3 election, Ms. McGinnis said the Democrats would do just as the president had if they were in his position. “If they were in President Trump’s shoes, they would do the exact same thing,� she said. Andy Caldwell, the executive director of the Coalition of Labor, Agriculture and Business, said it isn’t too soon to replace Justice Ginsburg and that the late justice herself said there’s nothing in the U.S. Constitution that limits when a president can nominate or fill a
vacancy. He added that “there’s a reason there is an odd number of jurists in these courts� and that reason could apply to the upcoming election. Due to the legal challenges that could precipitate from mail voting and ballot harvesting, having only eight justices on the court could be an issue if post-election adjudication ends with an evenly split vote. “There’s a reason for having nine,� said Mr. Caldwell, who’s the Republican challenger against Rep. Carbajal in the Nov. 3 election. He is also a News-Press columnist. One local Republican who broke company with her fellow GOP members was Denise Spangler Adams, who was concerned that Judge Barrett, if confirmed, would create a 7-2 Catholic majority on the Supreme Court. “I think that the Supreme Court needs to be more representative of America,� she said. Ms. Adams also questioned whether Judge Barrett, a mother of seven school-age children, could balance raising that many kids with the demands of being a Supreme Court Justice. “How could anybody have seven children and parent them and still be on the Supreme Court?� she said. email: jgrega@newspress.com
Board of Supervisors to receive COVID-19 update supervisors

Also, a commercial tenant who wants to avoid eviction must have paid 25% of each rental payment due from Sept. 1 to Jan. 31. The adoption of the urgency ordinance requires a four-fifths vote. In other business, the Board of Supervisors will also receive a COVID-19 update from the Santa
Barbara County Public Health Department.. As of the last Board of Supervisors meeting on Sept. 22, much of Santa Barbara County was experiencing a downward trend in COVID-19 cases and was on the way to moving tiers in the state’s color-coded classification system. Public Health director Van Do-Reynoso said the county qualified for the red tier, the second highest signifying “substantial� COVID-19 transmission, and could move into the tier if its conditions held until today. Santa Barbara County has been in the highest and most restrictive purple tier, signifying “widespread� COVID-19 transmission. email: jgrega@newspress.com

Westmont’s secret sauce
Montecito college attracts high-achieving students

rene Neller always knew Westmont College was an impressive school. She worked at other private Christian colleges in California but was thrilled when her son was accepted into Westmont. When her son returned home for Christmas break with an air of maturity, she wrote President Dr. Gayle Beebe a thank-you note. She was so impressed. Then, two years later and with her son’s permission, she joined the college as vice president of enrollment, marketing and communications. “Being in higher ed, I always knew about Westmont and knew it was one of the crown jewels of private Christian higher education,” she told the NewsPress.
Westmont College stacks up nicely in national rankings and secured its place in the top 7% of Payscale’s 2020 Best Universities and Colleges by Salary Potential. The college enrolled a highachieving class of 2024 even under the pressure of COVID-19. So how does it do it? Is it the picturesque Montecito campus? The successful athletic programs? Westmont faculty had a variety of answers when asked about its recipe for success. “We’re not aiming to get bigger and bigger but to do what we do really well,” Dr. Jesse Covington, professor and director of the Augustinian Scholars Program, told the News-Press. “Excellence rather than growth is my aim for the future.” Westmont is obligated to stay under 1,200 students, he said. “Sometimes you focus on how many students and lose sight
of the quality of them, which matters,” Mrs. Neller said. She focuses on the niche of a Christian, liberal arts college and said it’s easier to identify and connect with prospective students. “The more you can hone in on your narrative and separate yourself, you’ll attract students that are a good fit,” she said. Prominent Christian musicians Lecrae and Phil Wickham surprised 2020 graduates with a virtual ceremony and concert. Westmont heavily promoted the event on its social media platforms. Bible verses are woven throughout the site, and scholarships are aimed at intellectual and spiritual development. There’s a scholarship that offers full room and board to Please see westmont on A6

The campus is closed to foot traffic and holds just 1,000 students, so the Westmont administration felt confident they could safely open late September, Vice President Neller said.

two outstanding members of the Greater Los Angeles region of Young Life, a Christian youth organization. The Augustinian Scholars Program, a scholarship and honors program offered to 60 incoming students, seeks to make Westmont financially accessible to top-tier students and provide curriculum surrounding Christian tradition. “Students have told me that it makes a good education accessible to them,” Dr. Covington said. “But it’s also about spiritual formation, where the intellectual meets the existential.” The newest class of Augustinian Scholars has an average weighted GPA of 4.5 and an average of 1500 on the SAT exam. The college also offers a few automatic scholarships based on GPA and ACT/SAT scores. Vice President Neller said the scholarships help attract more students. “Word gets out among high school counselors and educators
that are assisting high school students, and they start recommending Westmont,” she said. The school also has a good local reputation among companies looking for new talent. According to its website, 96.2% of Westmont alumni are employed or pursuing a graduate degree within six months of graduation. Paul Bradford, director of career development and calling, said internships and Westmont’s faculty help launch students into their next step. There’s an 11 to one studentfaculty ratio, and over 80% of faculty hold a doctorate degree. The career center is an optional service to students, but Mr. Bradford works to reach students. He holds events, like Women in Technology night, and has students serve as ambassadors to the career center. COVID-19 made him and other Westmont staff see the need for an assigned role with students. He hopes to start guiding students their first and second years on campus. Fall 2019 was the largest enrollment the college had seen.
Fall 2020 was on track to beat it, but COVID-19 caused students to delay attending school. To try to give prospective students the experience of a college tour, Mrs. Neller rounded up a team to do one-on-one tours of campus through video chat. They were available all day and could even give tours on weekends and nights. She even hosted virtual events, like a Mother’s Day event that connected prospective Westmont moms to current ones to answer questions. Even through COVID-19 stresses, 375 students enrolled as the Class of 2024. The group has an average weighted GPA of 3.98, up from 3.88. Students moved in Wednesday with masks and social distancing protocols. (The campus has six residence halls.) “Only four weeks in on virtual learning and I can already tell my professors all care about everyone’s success,” freshman Laila Saenz said. “And I feel like if I ever need help with anything, I can ask anyone from the school.” email: ahanshaw@newspress.com
Making the most of the new normal
I
always wanted to be among the best in my field, and that desire has made coping in COVID-19 country much more complicated. With many events for 2021 already canceled and big business telling team members that they can work at home from now on, the winds of change are going to be with us for a long time, but it is not all bad. Pretty much most of us will have to retrench, rebudget, rethink and remind ourselves that though this won’t go on forever, some of these adjustments will be permanent. The desire for social distancing will not go away anytime soon, for example. Many people have become germaphobes and with good reason. What’s happening now may continue to dictate what we do with our lives and how to get there. I’ve reinvented myself several times, and although I had other plans, I guess it’s time for another rebuild because stopping is just not in my makeup. I could retire, but that doesn’t seem like much fun to me. I’m a people person, and, right now, retirement can be very isolating. Retirement is also more difficult now for most people. Many retirees have to do things differently, like not seeing grandchildren and figuring out how to stay safe when they are at their most vulnerable. Perhaps that reality is part of the reason we all need to consider putting our energy and drive into things other than work, like people and smelling the roses. Maybe slowing down a little does make sense. Everyone’s experience is different. We may all be in this together, but we’re in different boats, as they say. A few literally have mega-yachts. Others barely have a life raft. Most of us are somewhere inbetween, navigating shifting winds. Which, to me, means that everything around me is saying slow down, it will be better if you find ways to relax into your new way of life, and that can be a little
unsettling. If you’ve always been ambitious, someone who thrived on moving your life forward, this may be a hard time for you emotionally. To create more balance in your life, you have to figure out the best way to manage until you’re out of rough waters. It’s not about getting to a destination. It’s about holding on until the seas become calm enough to navigate. If you have too much time on your hands, you will need to pick up a couple of things to keep busy. When you are all alone in your head, it can be a very difficult place to feel safe, so try to find meaningful activities and people. If you can make this time about calm and connection, you will get something out of it that you can use for the rest of your life. Sometimes just relabeling how you are doing your life helps. For example, you could call this time a sabbatical, time off to rediscover and recharge.
If you keep thinking that you are not doing enough, it will only make this time harder. It’s important to see what you do as adding value to yourself and to those around you. That takes a little more involvement than just scrolling on social media. You don’t have to do anything, really — your main objective should be to just survive this — but you can choose to do more. Many people are taking this time to improve their lifestyles, homes and minds. Others have applied their energy to demanding badly needed social change or to helping those in need. Whatever you choose to put your time into, know that it will make you feel better as well as make the world a better place to be.

Horoscope.com Tuesday, September 29, 2020
ARIES — This is a good day to reflect on the past weeks and get some perspective, Aries. You’ve probably been working too hard and neglecting other priorities in your life. Give yourself this day to relax and talk with friends and relatives. Spend the day chatting, laughing, and unwinding. Don’t obsess about tasks that wait for you at the office. They aren’t going anywhere. TAURUS — Don’t plunge headfirst into work mode, Taurus. The cleaning and tidying up can surely wait for another day. Today’s energies indicate that talking with friends and family should be your main priority. Consider spending the afternoon doing activities with your kids. Hire a babysitter for the evening. It would do you good to go out with your partner - just the two of you – if possible. GEMINI — It’s likely that your thoughts are completely turned to work. Much as you should devote your time off to family, you can’t help the way you’re wired, Gemini. When at home, you may sneak away to check your email. Perhaps you secretly phone your business partner. Your family rolls their eyes, but generally understands and forgives your crazy behavior. Be sure to turn on the extra charm, just in case! CANCER — This is a good day for financial matters, Cancer. With your credit cards maxed out, you may be thinking that your bank account isn’t as healthy as it could be. But today you’re likely to receive some news that indicates otherwise. You may get a windfall or discover that your portfolio is generating healthy returns. It’s a good day for paperwork. LEO — You could be feeling quite lazy today, Leo, and you definitely deserve to feel this way! You deserve some time off after all of the activities of the past week. Give yourself the gift of a true day off. Do only what you want, whether it’s watching movies or spending the afternoon soaking in the tub. Total indulgence. Just relax and unwind. VIRGO — You think of yourself as a practical person, Virgo, but today your thoughts may turn to the mystical and spiritual. Your intuition is strong now, letting you tune in to the feelings of your loved ones. This allows you to be empathetic and understanding, which your partner especially appreciates. Your intuition may inspire you to approach a problem in a new way. Let your mind +*#!2 +1$)"$ wander and see what develops.
LIBRA — Your thoughts today are likely to turn to setting goals for the future, particularly concerning your career. While you’ve made a lot of progress in recent months, you’d like to see even more forward movement. This would be a great day to start thinking of concrete ways to make that happen, Scorpio. Why not have a family brainstorming session? It’s likely to yield some great advice. SCORPIO — Your thoughts today are likely to turn to setting goals for the future, particularly concerning your career. While you’ve made a lot of progress in recent months, you’d like to see even more forward movement. This would be a great day to start thinking of concrete ways to make that happen, Scorpio. Why not have a family brainstorming session? It’s likely to yield some great advice. SAGITTARIUS — Today’s planetary energies are stimulating your ambition, Sagittarius. Issues connected with your professional life may be very much on your mind. You could plot out ways to further your career. Perhaps you seek a promotion in your current business, or you could be thinking about looking for another job entirely. This is the ideal time to put specific plans into place for the future. CAPRICORN — You’ve been so busy these past few weeks that you may have inadvertently neglected the special person in your life, Capricorn. It’s been fun to be out and about together, but that has left little time for closeness and snuggling. Try to rectify that today. In fact, a midafternoon nap might be called for. Why not invite your honey to join you? AQUARIUS — It’s possible that a big change is in store for you in the near future, Aquarius. It may be that you’ve come to realize that your current home and neighborhood are no longer a good fit. If you’ve been toying with the idea of moving, today you may get some news that motivates you to make your fantasy a reality. This is a good day to peruse the real estate listings. You might be pleasantly surprised by what you find. PISCES — Perhaps you spent quite a bit of money lately and you’re holding your breath waiting for the bills to roll in. Some quick reckoning of receipts today likely yields some wonderful news. Wonder of wonders, it appears you’ve stayed within your budget, Pisces! Try not to overreact to the news that you have more money than you thought. Give your wallet and checkbook some time off.

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.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
NEWSPRESS COM
If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Lender, or the Trustee.

UCSB alumni now play their numbers game in Major League Baseball By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER
Cleveland Indians’ ace Shane Bieber won’t be the only ex-UCSB Gaucho on duty today when the American League baseball playoffs begin. While Bieber was winning this season’s triple crown of pitching statistics — No. 1 in wins (8), ERA (1.63) and strikeouts (122) — Tony Ortiz of the New York Yankees and Evan Short of the Toronto Blue Jays were playing a different kind of numbers game. They are two of four UCSB alumni now employed as analytics experts in Major League Baseball. The others are Ryan Bobb of the San Francisco Giants and Marcus Cuellar of the Boston Red Sox. “Our analytics guys have been a big separator for us,” UCSB coach Andrew Checketts said. “They’ve allowed us to compete when our facilities just haven’t been able to match up to the big boys. “What we’re doing is even ahead of 70% of the teams in Major League Baseball.” The Yankees, who will take their cuts against Bieber today in a 4 p.m. playoff opener, are actually one of the 30%. Ortiz, who graduated from UCSB in 2019, was hired by that club in February as a Quantitative Analysis Associate. “That’s just a fancy way of saying I look at numbers all day,” he said with a laugh. “The Yankees actually have an established department and they value the idea of bringing in recent graduates and training them. “They’ve been doing this for years — for about 15 years — and they’ve created all this information that I’d never even dreamt of. Learning that and their culture, and how they organize things, has been a big part of my development.” Short, whose Blue Jays will visit Tampa Bay at 2 p.m. today, serves as Toronto’s Player Development and Performance Analyst. “Evan actually gets to hang out with the players on the field while I’m just stuck in an office,” Ortiz observed. Ortiz succeeded Short as UCSB’s Director of Analytics before the 2019 season. It’s a relatively new job which uses video cameras and computers to analyze the traits and performances of both your players and your opponents.

Tony Ortiz, who worked his way up from intern to become the Director of Analytics for UCSB baseball, is now employed as a Quantitative Analysis Associate for the New York Yankees.
Evan Short, the former Director of Analytics for UCSB’s baseball program, is now working as a Player Development and Performance Analyst for the Toronto Blue Jays.
It started innocently enough when Short was recruited to serve as an intern for former Gaucho assistant coach Eddie Cornejo. “I wasn’t good enough to play — I only played in a Sunday league on the side,” said Short, who graduated from UCSB in 2017 with degrees in statistics and sociology. “But I did know I wanted to be involved in the game somehow, and with the team that was on my own campus.” At first, Cornejo had Short maintain a database for recruiting. “Eventually, it grew into something a little bit more on the statistics side of things,” Short said. “We thought we could do a little bit more and, thankfully, I landed in a place where the head coach was amenable to exploring this kind of thing. “Checketts was one of the first head coaches in the country to go in this direction.” Checketts, who had coached UCSB to its first College World Series in 2016, was in the mood for something innovative after backto-back losing seasons in 2017 and 2018. “We had the infrastructure in place with the free labor of a lot of math and statistics majors,” he said. “For $35,000 in technology, we were able to look at replays with things like Statcast and Trackman. We were able to study spin rates and exit velocities and vertical-break numbers. “We and Cal Poly are the leaders in this, although they’re a little more quiet about it. Even Pac-12 schools aren’t doing it at this level. We want to invest in it
and stay ahead in the game.” Short approached it at first with a program called Pitch Design, adjusting and modifying pitches to how they project against certain hitters. The Gauchos later tailored their offensive strategies and defensive positioning from the data analysis. “When we got Trackman and Rapsodo (a radar device which measures spin while tracking the flight of a baseball), we were able to do a flood of data,” Short said. “We didn’t know what to do with it at the beginning, but eventually we were able to figure some things out — of how the traits of certain pitches play better for a pitcher than other traits. “It gave us clues about what they do best and what they don’t do very well.” UCSB began to weaponize all that data during the fall of 2018. By the time, Short headed off to Toronto, with his protégé Ortiz moving up into his position, the Gauchos were well-armed for a run to the 2019 Big West Conference championship. “I really enjoyed watching the video streams of their games while I was traveling around the minors,” Short said. “It helped me get through some of those long treks.” A turning point that season came when UCSB swept UC Irvine in a three-game series. Checketts learned through a computer analysis of the Anteaters that AllBig West third baseman Brandon Lewis, a right-handed hitter who batted .315 with 14 home runs that season, actually did better against right-handed pitching than
lefthanders. Checketts trotted out southpaws Ben Brecht, Jack Dashwood, and Rodney Boone to hold Lewis to just two hits in 10 at bats. “He had a pretty rough weekend,” he recalled. “We were having our righthanders get him out with sliders and our lefthanders with changeups.” Ortiz took particular pride in how the data-driven scouting report came into play while UCSB was clinging to a 3-2 lead in the ninth inning of Sunday’s series finale. Irvine had loaded the bases with two outs when it sent Mikia Filia to the plate to face Gaucho closer Chris Lincoln. “We knew Chris Lincoln’s slider was pretty deadly against him,” Ortiz said. “He’d already thrown it to him in that at-bat, so they might think he’d be going with something else. “It didn’t matter, though — he could know it’s coming and still not hit it. Lincoln struck him out looking with another slider to finish out the weekend. It was really fun to see that happen.” Short has gotten some satisfaction out of the development of Toronto prospect Nate Pearson, who pitched 18 innings as a rookie this summer. His computer analysis showed Pearson that his slider got more swing-and-miss when he reduced the velocity and increased the depth of the pitch. “It’s actually a very collaborative effort of coaches, performance analysts and video interns,” Short said. “Working with one college team is a little different than working at a player development facility with more than 150 players on the minor-league side. “I’m honestly still tackling how to sell some of this stuff. I can’t do it without everybody around me.” Gaucho analytics are now handled by David Tillotson, who was hired to replace Ortiz just before the start of last season. The job continues to evolve with the technology. “It’s developed to the point where we even get reports on umpires,” Checketts said. “We’re able to study their strike zones and tendencies — where they like to call the ball in certain spots and certain scenarios. “We hope to have a built-in advantage with that, even if it is still primarily a confrontation between hitter and pitcher.” email: mpatton@newspress.com

Continued from Page A1 “We have been able to keep these fires small in size, more reasonable and more manageable,” he said. In addition, both departments have ramped up outreach and awareness tactics. “Through education and messaging, we’ve been reinforcing to the public that a large portion of the fires that start in California are human-caused, and if we take the appropriate measures from our standpoint, we can help alleviate or eliminate the start of these fires,” Mr. Bertucelli continued. “We’ve always had a very good dialogue with the community here in Santa Barbara County about wildland fires and the need to be responsible to prevent them.” Amber Anderson is a wildland specialist for the city of Santa Barbara’s Fire Prevention Bureau, and one of the founding members of the Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment District, which “provides a range of services to reduce the severity and damage of wildland fires in the Foothill and Extreme Foothill high fire hazard areas.” She told the News-Press that most of this year’s work has been paper-driven, because the city reevaluated and updated its Community Wildfire Protection Plan. Changes included expanding the geographic extent of the city’s High Fire Hazard Area and increasing the extent of Vegetation Management Units, along with policies and action items focusing on funding, fire rehabilitation, evacuation, fire protection, vegetation/ fuels management and public education. Ms. Anderson said the previous fires in the county have proven the field-treatment work the bureau did was effective in reducing the spread and stopping both the Tea and Jesusita fires.

Montecito Fire Protection District firefighter Billy Wren puts out hot spots south of La Conchita during the Thomas Fire. Firefighters from many cities in the county have been sent to provide aid to the wildfires in Northern California, providing them with firsthand experience and knowledge to bring back to the county.
added the bureau is also working to ensure all communication plans are updated and valid, and that any dead spots, zones or troublesome radio frequencies are mitigated. “We still have a few spots where it’s really difficult to get out with radio traffic,” she said. “Those spots are much smaller now.” However, Ms. Anderson said the most crucial component to the fire prevention efforts as of right now is learning from the wildfires in the northern part of the state, five of which have made the top 20 largest wildfires in California history. The mutual aid system has sent out teams, engines, overhead single resources, field EMTs, fire line observers, fire behavior analysts, situation unit leaders and many other different positions
within the Santa Barbara City Fire Department to these incidents. “What is beneficial for us is typically Northern California fire season is a little ahead of Southern California,” Ms. Anderson said. “We send so many resources out to those, and that, in and of itself, brings so much knowledge and experience back to our own department. “So when fire season starts to kick off, we have a lot of really well-oiled machines coming back to our own departments and jurisdictions to put all that knowledge and training and all that practical skill they achieved back into the city.” In addition to real-time learning, the wildland specialist said there’s been much more outreach to the public, especially
the Spanish-speaking population. She added that awareandprepare.us, which allows for the public to sign up for any type of emergency alert notification, has also been key in raising awareness. “I think that’s been really big for our community, being able to push alerts and social media word out there,” Ms. Anderson said. “People are becoming more savvy and smart, and really taking ownership to reduce their wildfire hazards.” For more information about fire prevention efforts, or anything dealing with the county fire department, visit sbcfire.com.
