U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, is seeking his third term in Congress and has stressed renewable energy sources and economic relief during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Candidate calls for reopening businesses, schools

Congressman stresses relief efforts during pandemic Editor’s note: These articles are part of a News-Press series on local candidates in the Nov. 3 election. The series will continue Wednesday with profiles of the candidates in a state Senate race. By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

As U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal deals with his own diagnosis of COVID-19, he’s thinking about the pandemic’s impact on the nation. “The first thing we need to do is provide more economic relief to the American people during this COVID-19 pandemic,” the Santa Barbara Democrat told the News-Press by phone from a Washington, D.C., hotel, where he was in quarantine. He was recently diagnosed positive for COVID-19 after coming in

contact with U.S. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, who previously tested positive, but the congressman said his symptoms have been mild, ranging from a lowgrade fever to some fatigue. Rep. Carbajal is seeking his third term in the House in the Nov. 3 race against Nipomo Republican Andy Caldwell. Rep. Carbajal represents the 24th district, which includes all of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties and part of Ventura County. The congressman, who noted he supports bipartisan solutions when possible, is part of the House’s Problem Solvers Caucus,

made up of 25 Democrats and 25 Republicans. The caucus has made major proposals in areas such as health care, infrastructure and immigration and recently proposed a $1.5 trillion global economic stimulation package, Rep. Carbajal said. “Let’s be sure we are protecting our public health and that we are opening our economy as safe as possible, with relief that is needed for workers, individuals, families, businesses and schools,” he said. “As part of the House, I have voted for six economic relief bills Please see CARBAJAL on A8

Andy Caldwell wants to turn the government around and point it in what he considers the right direction. “I am truly and deeply concerned about our country. I believe our country is headed straight toward socialism. It’s an open secret, so to speak,” the Nipomo Republican told the News-Press. “I believe that (Donald) Trump, with all of his faults, will save America from globalism,” Mr. Caldwell told the News-Press. “We have the internal threat, socialism, and the external threat, globalism.” Mr. Caldwell is running against U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal in the Nov. 3 election and supports

reopening businesses and schools with in-person learning. This is Mr. Caldwell’s first campaign for an elected public office. The Lompoc native is the longtime executive director of the Coalition of Labor, Agriculture and Business, which he describes as a government watchdog and advocate for taxpayers and businesses. He is also a News-Press columnist and hosts “The Andy Caldwell Show” on KZSB, the News-Press radio station (AM 1290). “I’m not a career politician,” Mr. Caldwell said. “I want to bring back the concept of citizen representation.” When asked about federal economic relief efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic, Mr. Caldwell said, “The only relief that works is a ‘Yes, We’re Open’

sign on a business. “Business and commerce generate the money Congress has to spend,” he said. “If we’re still shut down, they have only one of two options. They’re going to print that money, leading to inflation, or they’re going to borrow the money, leading to debt. “Congress is absolutely irresponsible to spend money it doesn’t have,” he said. “If they’re going to spend more money, they need to tell us how they’re going to get the money.” He criticized Gov. Gavin Newsom for continuing to redefine the criteria for reopenings and stressed the need to reopen businesses, schools and churches. Please see CALDWELL on A8

First time didn’t ‘work out’ Gyms allowed to open for first time since June By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

After a brief reopening period back in June and being ordered to close again, gyms in Santa Barbara County can now operate indoors at 10% capacity. This is the first time members have been allowed indoors for months, per the new Health Officer Order that went into effect Oct. 2, as Santa Barbara County moved up to the red tier. This time around, local gyms believe they, and their members, are prepared and adapted to take on socially-distanced, masked workouts. “It’s been a challenge to accommodate the ever-changing regulations and advice from the governor, county and city officials,” Brian Sawicki, the owner of Key 2 Fitness, told the News-Press. “Our members have been quite understanding and are hanging in there.” At Key 2 Fitness, staff added 800 square feet of artificial turf outside so members have the option to exercise outdoors. The gym requires masks inside unless there is an approved medical exception, emphasizes spacing between members and non-family units and spreads out cardio equipment throughout the gym. Employees and janitors also work behind the

scenes during non-busy hours. Mr. Sawicki said the nature of Key 2 Fitness’s business plan “has lent itself well to the COVID-19 restrictions. “Even during normal times, we were uncrowded and operated at less than 10% of our building occupancy,” he said. “Cleanliness and proper sanitation is nothing new to us. Being open 24 hours a day has allowed members to find non-busy times to workout, even alone at times.” Mad Fitness SB is also providing an outdoor option for its members if they would like. “Some of them (the members) have actually adjusted to being outdoors and they like it more,” Marianne Madsen, owner of Mad Fitness SB, told the News-Press. “It’s been cool because we’ve seen some people who don’t really want to go back to the bigger gyms, so we get new faces.” She said the gym has a cleaning crew every night, on top of staff cleaning every hour. Masks and social distancing are mandatory. Ms. Madsen added that the gym has seen more people coming to work out now than the first reopening. “It’s definitely been a lot smoother the second time reopening than the first,” she said. “We’re Please see gyms on A3

SB County school districts hold board meetings tonight By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The second Tuesday of each month is full of school district board meetings. Santa Barbara Unified meets at 6:30 p.m., but most start an hour earlier. Normally, it’s hard to be in two places at once, but now community members can tune into the meetings on Zoom and keep up with multiple districts. Here are the main points on the agendas: BLOCHMAN UNION

The Blochman Union board meeting opens to the public at 5:30 p.m. tonight via Zoom. The board for the Santa Maria district will discuss the Learning Continuity and Attendance Plans for Trivium Charter School. CARPINTERIA

The Carpinteria Unified School District board meets at 5:30 p.m. tonight via Zoom. The superintendent recommends Carpinteria Middle School and Carpinteria High School reopen for in-person instruction Jan. 7, the start of second semester. As schools move to hybrid learning, the district seeks to provide a folding chair to each elementary student for outdoor classes. The cost of $26,859.18

will be paid with Learning Loss Mitigation funds. The board plans to approve a contract with AHA! to bring its Peace Builders Initiative, a curriculum that teaches healthy social skills, to CMS. An afterschool AHA! program has been at CHS since 2004. The board will also vote on contracts to upgrade the locks and surveillance system at CMS. The Carpinteria Rotary Charitable Foundation Talent Showcase donated 70 music stands, cases and refurbished violins (valued at $1,200) to the district’s music program.

Members will discuss attendance. Enrollment is down 361 students when compared to this time last year. The report also shows that 63 additional students enrolled after the first day of school. SANTA MARIA JOINT UNION

During a 6:30 p.m. Zoom meeting tonight, the Santa Maria Joint Union School District has a few small items on the agenda. It plans to support Proposition 15, a statewide tax on commercial and industrial properties to fund schools. Board members will give an update on the facilities projects across various campuses. Eight portable classrooms are now ready for students at Santa Maria High School.

COLLEGE SCHOOL DISTRICT

The regular session of the College School District board meeting begins at 5:30 p.m. through Zoom. The superintendent’s regards options for school reopenings, and the board for the Santa Ynezbased district will vote to approve a reopening plan. There will also be a public hearing regarding the sufficiency of textbooks and materials.

VISTA DEL MAR UNION

Vista Del Mar Union meets at 5:30 p.m. through a Zoom webinar. Superintendent Dr. Lois Peterson will present a phased plan to engage the community. In this are plans to overhaul the website and create a logo and branding campaign. The Gaviota-based district will have a public hearing Nov. 10 to approve hiring Sun Pacific to finish its solar project. Johnson Controls started the project but did not complete it.

LOMPOC UNIFIED

Lompoc Unified also meets at 5:30 p.m. today via Zoom. The board will discuss its reopening plan. On Friday, it announced intentions to open for hybrid or full in-person learning in January.

After receiving the OK to operate indoors, Gold’s Gym staff has been spraying the entire facility with an electrostatic disinfectant that sticks to equipment and wraps around its edges, continuously disinfecting for 30 days.

City of Goleta receives sustainability award GOLETA — The city of Goleta received a platinum-level Beacon Spotlight Award for its sustainability efforts, presented by the Institute for Local Government and the Statewide Energy Efficiency Collaborative. “Goleta is committed to implementing sustainability measures across all city departments, which saves money, conserves resources, and strengthens resiliency,” city of Goleta Sustainability Coordinator Cindy Moore said. “We are honored to be recognized by the Institute for Local Government for these efforts and proud to participate in the Beacon Program.” The city received the highest rank in all 10 categories that make ILG’s framework for sustainability best practices. Notable city of Goleta projects include Jonny D. Wallis Neighborhood Park, a new strategic energy plan, obtaining funding for

We’re still here, and it’s really awesome.” Phil Cota, manager at Gold’s Gym, said staff has been spraying the entire facility with an electrostatic disinfectant that sticks to equipment and wraps around its edges, continuously disinfecting for 30 days. Along with that, the gym installed UV lighting in its HVAC system that kills bacteria, and staff provide a spray bottle and towel for each person so they can wipe down their equipment, even with staff disinfecting equipment every 30 minutes. He added that staff created an open air environment on the upstairs level, with open windows and french doors propped open, to give members “that fresh air feeling.”

Goleta Mayor Paula Perotte accepted the award during a virtual ceremony Oct. 8. “From devastating wildfires, to hazardous air quality and the increased public health risks from COVID-19, we have all had to pivot and think critically about what matters most,” CEO and Executive Director of ILG Erica L. Manuel said. “COVID-19 changed the format of our recognition event, but it didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of our winners or the pride we feel for the hard work they’ve done this year.” A total of 161 California cities and counties participate in the Beacon Program, a system created to recognize best practices.

“We’ve successfully created a very sterile environment in the gym,” Mr. Cota told the News-Press. “I feel like it’s safer here than eating and drinking downtown without a mask on.” He continued that staff hasn’t had to monitor mask-wearing as much, compared to the first reopening. “It’s going much better this time around,” he said. “The whole community is just used to wearing their face masks, so now everyone’s wearing the masks proudly. It’s much busier this time around. “People have a fear that gyms are this dirty place. People are sweating. It’s a gym,” Mr. Cota concluded. “But we’ve created such a clean, healthy environment where it’s safe to work out to boost your immune system. You’re combatting getting sick.” email: gmccormick@newspress.com

SANTA BARBARA — Bohnett Park will close beginning Thursday for park improvements as well as stormwater treatment, the City of Santa Barbara announced in a news release Monday. The construction is expected to last three months. “Bohnett Park is a key recreational area for the Westside,” said Parks and Recreation Director Jill Zachary. “We are pleased to be moving forward with a project that will make the park more usable for all.” Based on community input, the park is being upgraded with new turf and landscaping, irrigation, streetscape fencing and accessible entry and walkways. Picnic tables will be added along Old Mission Creek, and barbecue grills and trash receptacles will be installed as well. To improve water quality in Old Mission Creek, the city will install a drainage system to retain and slowly distribute stormwater. Civic Construction Associates will begin work Thursday. Work hours are Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. The upper portion of the park along San Andres Street will stay open. Funds come from a Community Development Block Grant, the City of Santa Barbara General Fund and hotel visitors through Measure B. — Annelise Hanshaw

Westmont professors discuss racism in Zoom panel Westmont faculty will discuss the question “What is Race and Racism?” at 7 p.m. on Thursday. Community members can register and receive a link to the Zoom event by visiting bit.ly/33IGuQE. Panelists Dr. Yi-Fan Lu, assistant professor of biology; Dr. Tom Knecht, professor of political science, and Dr. Meredith Whitnah, assistant professor of sociology, will lend their discipline’s perspective. Dr. Kya Mangrum, assistant professor of English, will moderate the panel. This lecture on race and racism is the first in a series of ethnic studies events supported by the English and modern languages departments at Westmont. “We aim to establish a foundational understanding of race and racism in the U.S. that will allow each participant to feel empowered to ask honest questions,” Dr. Dinora Cardosa, professor of Spanish and ethnic studies faculty member, said in a news release. “Even as we hear different disciplinary perspectives and recognize different points of view, we hope participants leave the panel with a shared set of concepts that can further our understanding and engagement in the work of racial healing and justice. “As a community that places Christ first, we hope to facilitate a conversation that helps us to see each other the way that God sees each of us.” Dr. Lu usually models human neurological disorders in the laboratory. But Thursday, he’ll give a biological perspective on race. Dr. Knecht examines the politics of sports in recent projects. Dr. Whitnah studies the role of religion in social injustice. Dr. Mangrum is currently finishing up a manuscript about how photography transformed U.S. slave narratives. — Annelise Hanshaw

‘It was a sign’

New executive director says his life led him to Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Corey Pahanish’s life path hasn’t exactly been smooth, but the bumpy road led him right to Santa Barbara and a new job with the Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation. The life of the young volunteer began just south of Detroit. He grew up in a single mother home after his father died in a tragic car accident. Mr. Pahanish was 10 months old and also in the car, and his survival was considered a miracle. “The subsequent years certainly didn’t feel like a miracle,” Dr. Pahanish told the News-Press. He and his mother endured symptoms of poverty, including homelessness, and his grades as a student suffered because of it. He said he “barely” graduated high school with a 1.4 GPA, which ruled out his chances of becoming a first-generation college graduate, and he couldn’t get into the military either due to a punctured eardrum “that never got treated because we didn’t have insurance.” So, Dr. Pahanish said he put everything on a credit card and moved out to California, landing in San Diego where he volunteered with an organization that provides services to individuals with developmental disabilities. He said it was a population that he has “always had a special place in my heart for and advocated for for a long time.” This led to his first job in the nonprofit sector in 2004, running a grant to lower the rate of recidivism among that population. He then met a mentor who pushed him to go to college, and Dr. Pahanish got his paralegal master’s and doctorate from the University of San Diego. He taught a class for social workers part time while becoming the executive director of Bayside Community Center,

“This is an opportunity to understand with empathy the plight of families who have a child with pediatric cancer,” said Corey Pahanish, the new executive director of the Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation.

a nonprofit lifting up those struggling in Linda Vista, one of San Diego’s most economically stressed neighborhoods. The executive director raised millions of dollars in a short time period for the neighborhood, built a brand new education facility and community center and ultimately got the organization to reach financial stability. Then, about a month ago, Dr. Pahanish’s mother passed away from cancer, along with a few of his friends. “I’m a man of faith, and as I was

discerning my career path, it was a sign,” he said. “That made this a very easy decision.” Dr. Pahanish sees his new position as executive director of the Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation as an opportunity to “leverage my personal experience and my professional and academic expertise.” He succeeds Lindsey Leonard, who left the foundation to serve as the executive director of the Alzheimer’s Association, California Central Coast Chapter. “This is a growth opportunity,” Mr.

Pahanish said about his new role. “This is an opportunity to understand with empathy the plight of families who have a child with pediatric cancer. This is an opportunity to enhance the work that’s already been done and to contribute to the strong reputation TBCF already has.” As the new executive director, Dr. Pahanish hopes to expand services geographically, increase funding to families, explore adding new programs and expand the donor base both geographically and on a larger scale, in

hopes of some endowments. “The financial needs of families are only growing, especially in our current economy,” he said. “I’m a firm believer that it takes a village, so the more people we have that are involved and supporting the organization, the stronger we are as an organization. “I really look forward to coming into this role operating with transparency but also with a collaborative spirit.” email: gmccormick@newspress.com

emember, back in normal times, when we could easily get mad at ourselves because we hadn’t accomplished this or that? Well, these are not normal times, and some things won’t be like they were ever again, so maybe the way we treat ourselves needs a little adjustment as well. First of all, please remind yourself that none of what is going on in our world right now is your fault, so you don’t get to blame yourself. You may not think that you are doing that, but just ask

yourself, how much more upset with yourself have you been since the pandemic started? Many of us feel that since the world is in disarray, we have to do everything that’s put in front of us perfectly. Well, that won’t ever happen, and it’s not a bad thing. It’s just life, and by being a little easier on yourself, you can more easily tap into your inner strength. Much better than beating yourself up over not being perfect. Besides, things are not going to go the way they used to. There will be more bumps in the road, and the way forward is uncertain.

improve — and they will — and then you will have an opportunity to revisit the dreams you have put on hold. If you are someone with lots of drive and ambition — which is great! — this could be a very hard time for you. I suggest that you find a direction that allows you to upgrade your profile, like getting an MBA or a Ph.D. Once this is over, those sheepskins will come in handy once again. Many businesses are shutting down and consolidating, so elective care or even something as simple as a massage is harder to come by. Self-care is your best alternative. Self-neglect won’t help you feel better, so you need to find ways to stay in a place where you feel good about yourself.

Maintaining a good diet and getting exercise are more important than ever. Taking care of your health will serve you now and later in life. If that’s not something in which you’ve invested much energy, now seems like the perfect time to start. It’s also a good way of loving yourself, and we could all do a little more of that.

Success and good fortune are coming thick and fast, with only minor setbacks and irritations to complicate matters.

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.

Kids smile with fresh vegetables provided by Sansum during the COVID-19 pandemic. It distributed 1,470 servings in one month alone.

Scientists work with a sample for the Mil Familias program, an initiative aimed at learning more about diabetes’ effect in the Hispanic population.

Sansum Diabetes Research Institute studies hispanic community Sansum Diabetes Research Institute commemorated National Hispanic Heritage Month in a news release Thursday. The Hispanic community is important to SDRI, as members participate in diabetes research. “This Hispanic Heritage Month, Sansum Diabetes Research Institute is at the forefront of research and innovation to address the horrendous and disproportionate burden of the COVID-19-diabetes syndemic on Hispanic/Latino families,� SDRI’s Director of Research and Innovation Dr. David Kerr said. Systemic inequities and underlying medical conditions affect the Hispanic population’s risk for severe diabetes symptoms. But SDRI seeks to eliminate the disparities through research of the community. SDRI launched Mil Familias, an initiative dedicated to learning

more about the cause of type two diabetes in this population. Hispanic/Latino community scientists will study families with at least one diagnosed member. SDRI created the COVID-19 Diabetes Emergency Response at the beginning of the pandemic to assist those at risk of more COVID-19 complications. Between March 16 and April 20, researchers made contact through call or text with 622 Mil Familias participants. SDRI asked about mental and physical wellbeing and were sometimes met with tearful responses. To provide a bilingual resource, it also created a website to provide up-to-date COVID-19 information for those with diabetes: latinodiabetes.sansum. org/covid-19-latino-diabetes/. Between March 16 and April 17, SDRI gave 1,470 servings of fresh produce to those with or at risk of type two diabetes. To learn more about diabetes in the Hispanic population, visit latinodiabetes.sansum.org. And to get involved, go to milfamilias. sansum.org. — Annelise Hanshaw

Gauchos move basketball workouts inside the Thunderdome By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

UCSB basketball has a roof back over its head. The Gauchos said goodbye to their outdoor training area on the Rob Gym Tennis Courts and resumed conditioning inside the Thunderdome on Monday. The move was made just in time for Wednesday’s official NCAA start for team-wide practice. UCSB coach Joe Pasternack said his Gauchos probably won’t start full workouts until Thursday. “We’re just grateful to be able to get back into our gym,” he said. “Sometimes you take a lot of things for granted. Over the last six months — beginning when we were sitting in our hotel breakfast room and found out that we wouldn’t be able to play in the Big West Tournament — we’ve learned that we can’t take basketball for granted. “We have to be very flexible because, with COVID, nothing is guaranteed.” The Gauchos have been conditioning for the last four weeks in groups of four, with two players at each of the portable baskets that were set up on the outdoor tennis courts. That same regimen continued on Monday inside the Thunderdome. “A tennis court surface is better than your typical outdoor basketball court, but it did get old after a while,” Pasternack said. “The guys’ knees and ankles and shins have been hurting because of the hard surface, so it is nice to get back into our own place.” The Thunderdome, which added chairback seating in the reserved section behind the team benches last year, will replace more of its seating next month. “We’re also getting a practice court,” Pasternack said. “We’ve had a couple of donors step up in a huge way.” The practice facility will include a new, state-of-the-art floor that will replace the arena’s current, hard surface. The new chairback seating above it will retract to the wall during workouts. “It’s a big deal, getting more

chairback seating,” Pasternack said. “The demolition of the current seating should start the first of November. “I’m just so grateful for the two donors who are making this possible. They’re changing the scope of UCSB basketball.” The Gauchos expect to open their season at the Thunderdome on Nov. 27 with a mini-tournament called the Santa Barbara Slam. “We’ve got Florida Gulf Coast and Florida A&M coming,” Pasternack said. “But believe it or not, a lot of our schedule still isn’t finished. Because of the later starting time, we’ve had a lot of games canceled. “Texas-Arlington was also supposed to return our game with them (on Dec. 7), but their administration doesn’t want them flying here (because of the coronavirus pandemic).” The NCAA’s new starting date for games of Nov. 25 forced the cancelation of four of UCSB’s contests, all of which would have been played at the Thunderdome: Nov. 11 against Menlo, Nov. 15 against Idaho State, Nov. 18 against UC Santa Cruz, and Nov. 22 against Pepperdine. The Pepperdine game will now be played in December in Malibu, Pasternack said. The Gauchos are also set to play at Loyola Marymount on Dec. 12.

But they are postponing their Dec. 19 trip to West Coast Conference power St. Mary’s to next year. “They didn’t want to pay us the big guarantee since they wouldn’t have any fans in the stands, so now we’re going there next year,” Pasternack said. UCSB’s Big West Conference schedule, which was set to begin at home on New Year’s Eve against league newcomer UC San Diego, is also in a state of flux. The conference is considering several new formats including one in which one school will play at another on back-to-back nights, with no return trip. “We’ve actually heard all kinds of scenarios but we’re still waiting to hear what we’ll wind up with,” Pasternack said. Although spectators may not be allowed in the Thunderdome, he said UCSB is renewing its contract with Fall Productions to livestream all home games. Pasternack has assembled a roster of 19 players led by returning All-Big West Conference selections Amadou Sow (6-foot9, second-team junior forward) and JaQuori McLaughlin (6-4, honorable mention senior guard).

COLLEGE ROUNDUP

Westmont wins men’s, women’s races at three-way meet By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Westmont College conducted the area’s first intercollegiate competition last weekend, running to victory in its own crosscountry tri-meet. The event, which pitted the Warriors against Golden State Athletic Conference rivals Hope International and William Jessup, lost Vanguard as a contestant when one of its runners tested positive for COVID-19. Westmont sophomore Adam King won the men’s race while freshman schoolmate Kacie Kwan was the women’s winner. “It was a pleasure to host a meet on our campus and offer an opportunity to compete for some GSAC friends,” Warriors coach Russell Smelley said. “The Warrior women and men dominated the meet, as our guests were unable to field scoring teams of five runners. It was more like an all-comers’ race, but it was good to compete nonetheless.” King finished first in the men’s 6K in a time of 20:28 while senior Chris Hanessian placed second in 20:32. Westmont was coming off a first-place team finish at The Master’s Invitational on Sept. 26. “Chris Hanessian was impressive in pushing Adam King to claim first place in the race with a strong finishing kick,” Smelley said. “Chris has run faster, as he has become more relaxed mentally and physically during races.” They took advantage when four of the leaders, including two of their teammates, missed a turn at one point of the course. “The men’s team ran with a mission of sticking together and keeping a tight team spread,” Smelley said. “Unfortunately, I was not at a critical point in the race to direct the race leaders and the first four runners missed a turn. “Despite having the two leading

runners taken out of the race by going the wrong way, the Warriors still managed a 1:07 team spread from runners one to five.” Freshman Ben Reasner finished third (21:05), freshman Ryan Daedler placed fifth (21:31) and senior Thaddeus Kowalik, Jr. took sixth position (21:35). Other Warriors to finish in the top 10 were sophomores Garrett Miller (eighth, 21:42), John Baker (ninth, 21:48) and Damien Ureste (10th, 21:51). Kwan won her second-straight meet by finishing first in the women’s 4K with a time of 16:02. Sophomore Madden Hundley made her Westmont debut by placing second in 16:13. Other Warriors in the top 10 were freshman Gretchen Scherrei (seventh,16:35), junior Abigail Stadtlander (eighth, 16:49), sophomore Abigail Edwards (ninth, 17:27) and freshman Jenae McInnes (10th, 17:33). “Madden Hundley made her season debut with an assertive effort that showed she did not lose her racing acumen after a summer of battling training injuries,” Smelley said. “Kacie Kwan had another strong race that was focused and even paced. “Abigail Stadtlander was more relaxed than in her season opener, which yielded a stronger and more satisfying race for her. Overall, the women’s team had a focused effort, which demonstrated their improving race fitness. The Westmont Tri-Meet was the first cross country meet run on its Montecito campus since the Warriors hosted the Westmont Invitational in 2012. Their next meet will be in Rocklin on Oct. 24 at William Jessup’s Warrior Invitational. Westmont’s Thompson wins consolation

Freshman Logan Thompson won the consolation bracket singles title on day three of the ITA NAIA West Regional in San

Diego. “I was really impressed overall with Logan’s strokes and overall demeanor,” Warriors coach Mark Basham said. “Logan strikes his ground strokes really clean, has a big first serve and I strongly believe he is going to reach a very high level in singles and in doubles.” Thompson, the fourth seed, defeated second-seeded Alessandro Cadena of Saint Katherine, 8-3, in the consolation championship match. Callen Hein and Ethan Ha, the sixth-seeded doubles pairing in the main draw, advanced to the semifinals before losing 8-5 to second-seeded Julius Kaufmann and Nick Nienhaus of San Diego Christian. All four Warrior doubles teams reached the main draw quarterfinals, while Ha advanced to the final eight in the singles main draw. “I am excited about all 10 of our players and I learned a lot about our four new freshmen during this ITA Regional,” Basham said.

graduation rates, and overall student satisfaction. The Westmont women’s soccer program has received NAIA Scholar Team recognition for a schoolrecord seven consecutive years. It also served last summer in Uganda and Kenya with Sports Outreach. Several Warriors are also involved with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes as well as with Potter’s Clay, Westmont’s annual spring break service trip to Ensenada, Mexico. “We are striving to create an environment that prioritizes relationships, while striving for excellence in academics and athletic performance within the context of our faith in Christ,” coach Jenny Jaggard said. “We aren’t perfect, but we are a family, and we are always learning and helping each other to grow through life.” email: mpatton@newspress.com

Women’s soccer team honored

Westmont women’s soccer was selected to College Athletic Advisor’s inaugural list of “Programs That Inspire.” The Warriors were one of 20 collegiate women’s soccer programs nationwide, excluding NCAA Division I schools, to be featured. Westmont was ranked eighth overall and first among NAIA women’s soccer programs. The Warriors were also ranked first among non-NCAA Division I women’s soccer teams in California. Programs were rated by a group of College Athletic Advisor consultants on a point system based on the criteria of “holistic development of student-athletes; academic achievement and support for the academic success of student-athletes; overall college experience; and the affordability,

Candidate opposes Diablo Canyon closure CALDWELL

Continued from Page A1

“My point all along is if you can shop at WalMart and Target, you should be able to shop at momand-pop stores,” Mr. Caldwell said. “If you can sit in an airplane for six hours, elbow to elbow, you should be able to go to church.” Mr. Caldwell called the decision to limit most schools to remote learning as “an absolute catastrophe.” On other COVID-19 issues, Mr. Caldwell noted the need for more personal protective equipment. He said there’s a shortage of PPE because China started to hoard it before the world became aware of COVID-19. Mr. Caldwell, who’s also critical of China on economic issues, said he would like to sponsor legislation to bring well-paying jobs back from China. “China is robbing, cheating and stealing us blind,” Mr. Caldwell said, noting he would like the U.S. to stop doing business with that nation unless it changes its ways. He said he also would like to see Congress pass a law allowing vouchers or something like them to enable a choice among schools. “They (parents) would be able to take money and use it for home school, private school, public school or technical school. I want people to have a choice in education. This is too important an issue of life to be left in the control of a government monopoly of bureaucrats.” And Mr. Caldwell said he disagrees with the closure of the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant in San Luis Obispo County and noted it supplies 10% of the state’s electricity. He added that he wants to build a nuclear plant-size desalination facility next to the Diablo Canyon plant and start filling the state’s aquifers, reservoirs and dams with desalinated water. Mr. Caldwell noted he also wants to propose legislation to better manage forests. “We have 140 million dead trees in

California, several million of those right in Las Padres National Forest. I want to remove them. We either remove them, or they’re kindling for the next wildfire.” On other domestic issues, Mr. Caldwell said he favors tax cuts. “People don’t put their money under a mattress,” he said. “When people and companies are allowed to make money, it multiplies with purchases and investments. When the government takes it, it divides. It disappears out of the economy. “The lower the tax rate, the more revenue will be generated because of the multiplier effect,” Mr. Caldwell said. “This is a fundamental business calculation that is lost on career bureaucrats and politicians.” Ultimately, it’s better paying jobs and not government funding that will help the poor, Mr. Caldwell said. “There’s no quality of life, no escape from poverty, without a job. Nobody has become financially independent based on unemployment benefits or welfare.” The Republican candidate also criticized the Affordable Care Act and noted that insurance premiums rose under the law. But he said he doesn’t know if the ACA will be overturned by the

Supreme Court after the expected confirmation of conservative Judge Amy Coney Barrett to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg. “Justice Roberts was expected to vote against it. But he didn’t just throw them a lifeline. He threw them a loophole.” Mr. Caldwell added he isn’t sure whether the court would overturn Roe v. Wade with a Justice Barrett. “I have no idea on that either. I would tend to believe it would. “I’m pro-life,” Mr. Caldwell said. “My issue there is I believe birth control is so widely available. I go back to what Bill Clinton said, ‘Abortions should be rare in our society.’ ” On another domestic issue, Mr. Caldwell said he wants to help the Central Coast’s specialty crops. He said the government doesn’t have the money for subsidies, but noted, “I think it’s better to work with them (farmers) on how we can lower the cost of doing business. I do think there’s room at least for an advertising campaign: ‘Grown in America.’ ” Mr. Caldwell added that tax breaks would help farmers. On another domestic issue, the candidate stressed his support for law enforcement. “Instead of

defunding the police, we actually need to increase funding both for more manpower and more training.” Mr. Caldwell added that the federal government needs to provide more support and cooperation with local police to deal with international crime enterprises. And he said police officers guilty of racially motivated brutality must be fired. “If there is a pattern within any one department, the upper echelon management needs to be replaced.” Concerning an immigration issue, Mr. Caldwell said, “I would allow the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) kids to stay and gain some sort of legal status PENDING no felonies and no welfare dependency. However, that is not to say I would support a path to citizenship unless and until we have secured the border or the pattern will simply continue.” On defense issues, Mr. Caldwell said he favors bringing troops home from Afghanistan and Iraq. “I don’t like us being involved over there.” On foreign policy in general, Mr. Caldwell said he favors an “America first” policy, which he explained doesn’t mean isolationism. The candidate is a 1976 graduate of Lompoc High School. He earned his bachelor’s in social sciences in 1980 at UC San Diego and worked as a seasonal laborer in Santa Maria. He started COLAB in 1989, and he and his wife, Linda, have six daughters and one son, ages 21 to 30. Mr. Caldwell enjoys swimming, walking on a treadmill and reading Christian literature. He also happens to be a fan of Marx Brothers movies, which remain popular among people of all political persuasions. “I used to watch them all the time when I was a kid.” For more information, go to andycaldwell2020.com. email: dmason@newspress.com

Congressman stresses record on environment CARBAJAL

to date, four of which have been signed into law by the president and were bipartisan,” Rep. Carbajal said. “The last two were the $3.5 trillion Heroes Act that passed the House and Heroes Act. 2.0, which was a $2.2 trillion legislative package to provide economic stimulus to the country.” The congressman criticized President Donald Trump for delaying the negotiations toward passage of Heroes Act 2.0 in the Republican-controlled Senate until after the Nov. 3 election. In addition to COVID-19 relief, Rep. Carbajal said his priorities for a third term include the yearround fire season. “As such, I’m proud I have worked on ending the practice of fire borrowing in the U.S. Forest Service and creating a billion dollar fire fighting fund that is available for our firefighters to have resources.” (“Fire borrowing” describes the practice of taking money from unrelated projects when the Forest Service exhausts its funding to contain or extinguish fires.) Rep. Carbajal, who also emphasized his work in addressing climate change, said he is proud of his Energy Zone Opportunities Act. It provides for tax incentives for renewable energy sources within a 120-mile radius of closed coal or nuclear power plants, such as the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant in San Luis Obispo County. He added he’s proud of his Central Coast Heritage Bill. It designated nearly 250,000 acres with Las Padres National Forest and Carrizo Plain National Monument as protected wilderness areas. The House passed the bill on a 231-183 vote. Rep. Carbajal also introduced the California Clean Coast Act, which bans offshore oil and gas leasing on the outer continental shelf off the coast.

The congressman stressed that jobs remain among his top priorities and noted his campaign to have Vandenberg Air Force Base named the U.S. Space Command headquarters. He also noted his vote with a bipartisan majority in the House with the Moving Forward Act, a $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill that is intended to protect new projects from extreme weather caused by climate change. Another of the congressman’s major priorities is health care. He said he wants to continue to build on the Affordable Care Act and bring down costs of insurance premiums and prescription drugs. Rep. Carbajal said he’s been advocating for a public option for health insurance. He said he also favors legislation to allow Medicare to negotiate for lower prices with pharmaceutical companies, which would mean savings for consumers. The congressman expressed concern that the Supreme Court could rule against the ACA if, as expected, the Senate confirms Judge Amy Coney Barrett, President Trump’s appointee, as the replacement for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. And Rep. Carbajal, who’s prochoice, expressed concern that a Supreme Court with a Justice Barrett could overturn Roe v. Wade. Before Justice Ginsburg’s death, the court had a 5-4 conservative majority, but conservative Chief Justice John Roberts sometimes votes with the liberal justices, as he did to uphold the ACA. On defense issues, Rep. Carbajal said he favors withdrawing troops from Afghanistan. “That’s been the longest serving war. But it requires a thoughtful strategy about how we end the conflict, how we bring troops home so it’s done in a way that doesn’t create more danger for our troops or more danger for American interests.”

“I think we need to examine the forces we have throughout the world,” Rep. Carbajal said. Rep. Carbajal said he favors strengthening relationships with allies. He stressed the importance of staying in the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty with Russia, especially in light of President Trump’s decision to withdraw the U.S. from the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. On other foreign issues, Rep. Carbajal said he agrees with President Trump on the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. USCMA replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement, and the congressman said it was improved through bipartisan efforts addressing worker protections, environmental issues and guarantees against windfalls for pharmaceutical companies. “I was glad I voted for it,” Rep. Carbajal said. But the congressman noted, “I have not been a fan of this president and the trade wars approach he’s taken.” He said President Trump’s tariffs had a negative impact on the 24th Congressional District’s wine industry and farmers. Rep. Carbajal added he supports legislative efforts to help specialty crop commodities such as a 2018 farm bill for which he voted. On other domestic issues, the congressman stressed he supports funding for law enforcement as well as reforms to prevent racially motivated brutality. “I’m proud to be a co-sponsor of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, which institutes important reforms like banning chokeholds, ending no-knock warrants, and making it easier to prosecute bad officers with a record of misconduct,” Rep. Carbajal said. “At the same time, I also know our law enforcement officers have a hard and important job, and they are not always equipped to handle all the responsibilities we call on them to do,” he said. “I
