had fled the scene before the deputies’ arrival, according to public information officer Raquel Zick. Deputies are now asking for the public’s help in identifying the robbery suspect. The suspect is described as a Hispanic male adult, medium build, with tattoos on his arm and legs that may help in recognizing and identifying him. Ms. Zick said the suspect is believed to be associated with a white Ford Flex with a sunroof. She also said the suspect was armed at the time of the robbery and is considered dangerous. Anyone with information on the incident or the suspect’s identity is asked to contact the Criminal Investigation Division at 805-681-4150.

She also said deputies recovered a handgun and ammunition from the vehicle, which was later towed from the scene. Arrested were Brayan AguilarJimenez, 22, of Goleta and Raul Cortes, 25, of Fresno. In addition to being arrested on suspicion of committing two felonies, the two men were arrested on suspicion of committing several misdemeanors: failure to obey a peace officer, resisting arrest and possession of a controlled substance. Mr. Aguilar-Jimenez was also arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, a misdemeanor. Both suspects were booked at the main Santa Barbara County jail and later released on $35,000 bail each.

Simon Kiefer shares vintage machines with community By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

H

er name is Lucille, and she has been with Simon Kiefer during his long career as an urban planner in Washington, D.C.; New York City; and Santa Barbara. “Lucille is a beautiful black Smith Corona Speedwriter that I carried from office to office. She was a conversation piece, an ice

breaker,” said Mr. Kiefer, who retired in 2014 and lives in Goleta. “I named her Lucille because one of my favorite artists, B.B.King, had a guitar named Lucille. It’s a sweet name. I heard he ran into a burning building to save his guitar.” While Mr. Kiefer has no intention of doing something so dramatic — or dangerous — Lucille is responsible for his current collection of more than 100 vintage typewriters and the founding of the Santa Barbara

Public Typewriter Project. “I’m now known as The Typewriter Guy,” said Mr. Kiefer with a chuckle. “People have even left some on my doorstep.” And it all started in 2014 when he took Lucille in for a “tune-up” at an office equipment repair shop on San Andres Street. “When I went to pick it up, the place was in chaos,” Mr. Kiefer told the News-Press. “The owner had died, and his widow didn’t know what to do with all the typewriters that had been brought

in for repair plus the ones he had collected. There were about 40 of them. She was about to throw them away. I couldn’t see these beautiful things headed for the landfill. “She asked if I was interested in them and wanted to know what I would do with them. I told her I was going to do creative writing workshops for teens and seniors and anyone in between.” And that’s exactly what he has done — conducting creative workshops since 2015 for people

ages 8 to 80. His mission statement is “Creative expression and community building through vintage typewriters.” “I specialize in inspiring expressions of emotional content in the form of memoirs, short essays, correspondence and poetry,” said Mr. Kiefer. “I have found the act of writing to be a valuable therapeutic exercise and extremely important in community building. I use the restored vintage typewriters to entice people to write and have

found the tactile/sonic quality and immediacy of the typewriter to facilitate expressions of emotion, sentiment and spontaneous creativity.” With a Community Arts Grant from the city of Santa Barbara that is administered by the county’s Office of Arts and Culture, he has been leading the workshops at various venues such as Art From Scrap (his fiscal sponsor), Santa Barbara Public Please see TYPEWRITERS on A3

Simon Kiefer’s fascination with typewriters dates back to his childhood typewriters

Continued from Page A3

Library, Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara, UCSB, the Dunes Center in Guadalupe, Third Window Brewery and the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara. “While working for the city of Santa Barbara, I helped finance the construction of several lowincome housing projects that the Housing Authority owns and operates. It now gives me great pleasure to conduct writing workshops for the people I helped house years ago.� Or it did until the coronavirus outbreak when the group workshops were shut down. In its place, Mr. Kiefer established the Santa Barbara Typewriter Lending Library where individuals can borrow one of the typewriters. “Even though the grant will end Nov. 30, the response has been so positive that I will bear the cost of continuing the service to the community during these trying times. It is important for people to have a means to communicate that is an alternative to our ‘screens,’ “ he said. Mr. Kiefer’s fascination with typewriters dates back to his childhood in Detroit, where there was always one in his house. “My father and sisters were excellent typists, and I took a typing class in junior high school. I’m proud to say that I can type 60 words per minute,� he said. After graduating from Royal Oak Kimball High School, he earned his bachelor’s degree in art history and German at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and a master’s degree in urban planning at UCLA. Among this collection are Underwoods, Olympias, Hermes, Smith Coronas and Remingtons, which he keeps at the Goleta home he shares with his wife Karenina Manpearl. “Some are in the garage, some are in a storage unit, and I have a collection of small Remingtons from the 1920s on display in the living room. They’re different colors in two tones of red, green and blue. They look like candy,� said Mr. Kiefer, adding, “My wife is very understanding. “Most of them are manual, but I have some electric ones because they work really well with little kids who don’t have the finger strength to operate the manual

They find it’s a better way of expressing their emotions. It’s immediate, and there are no distractions like spell check or advertising or emails flashing on the screens.� email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

ct. 31 has gone from scary fun to just plain scary. Adults may understand it, but the kids won’t. So it’s up to us parents to make them a Halloween that will be different but still let our kids celebrate in some fashion. All the members of my extended family have decided to stay at home and have a Zoom party for the kids (and a cocktail party for the adults). Yes, all the holidays will be different this year. In my village, there is one neighborhood that usually goes all out, and everyone goes to this one place (including out-oftowners) because of the great job it does with haunted houses, cotton candy, police on horseback, and kids in costumes galore — but not this year. I am sure some people will try to ignore the fact that there is a deadly virus in the air and will keep their lights on and open their doors. Others will choose to put up a blockade and turn out the lights. I’d go in the middle and leave out a bowl of candy with a sign saying, “Please take one,� and hope that makes those who do venture out a tiny bit happy. Almost everybody is feeling the pain of the pandemic in one way or another, and this is a prime example. Many people feel it is their right to party, and as we have seen, they will exercise it whenever possible. Memorial Day, July Fourth, Labor Day — all brought out too many people congregating at a time in one place. Halloween will be just as dangerous if we don’t exercise a little selfcontrol. I like my Indiana Jones getup and candy too, but I’m not going to risk getting sick for a

street party, even on a Saturday night. Plus, it’s just a few days before the most highly contested election in my lifetime, and emotions will be high. But this is no excuse for partying in public or other unsafe behavior. The virus won’t care which side you are on, and the election results won’t matter to you if you’re on a ventilator. I’d rather be around for Thanksgiving, so I’m going to stay at home with my wife and watch “Ghostbusters� on Halloween night, and our family will all be on Zoom together. Who knows? Maybe that will become a new family tradition. If you get a little creative and take in that this is a very difficult time, going a little low-key may strike you as the healthiest and easiest thing you can do for yourself and your loved ones. This fall and winter, please take precautions, get a flu shot and stay healthy. This is not the time to tempt fate. It is the time to accept the limitations of being human and protect our very lives. There’s always next year. This Halloween, let’s all play dressup at home, watch some not-soscary movies, and eat sweets. It’s a good evening to celebrate being a family or just being alive. So have fun, don’t isolate, but play it safe, and I’ll leave the lights on for you next year. Barton Goldsmith, Ph.D., LMFT, is an award-winning therapist and writer.

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS

“There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other, wings.� — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

ARIES — There should be no doubt in your mind about which way to proceed, Aries. Don’t let self-doubt sneak into the picture. Your mind is sensitive and alert, so trust it. Take the lead when you feel confident about a situation. Make sure to eat plenty of proteinrich foods. They’ll help stabilize and bring you another step closer to the realization of your dreams. TAURUS — Your rock-star attitude may be getting a bit old now, Taurus. People aren’t going to continue to listen to your demands for attention. Every person in the world is special, so try not to act as if you’re the only one who is. Help a child assemble a new toy today or help a friend pick out a new shirt. Do something for others instead of always expecting things for yourself. GEMINI — Your ship is finally coming into port after being out in rough seas for so long, Gemini. It’s time to dock the boat for a while. Relax and explore the area. There is nothing wrong with getting off your vessel for a while. You may not even realize how much you’ve missed solid ground until now. Remember what it’s like to be stable again. CANCER — You may still be on something of a high from the last couple weeks. You will definitely be tempted to let the good times continue to roll, Cancer. Think about ways you can keep them rolling while still maintaining good judgment. Don’t let things get too out of control today. It’s important that you maintain a bit of stability at all times. LEO — Communicate from a centered space today, Leo. Fortunately, the nature of the day caters to your needs and desires. You shouldn’t have to work too hard to get what you want. Things should come to you naturally. You may wonder why you got stressed out before over what now seem to be small issues. Consciously release the worry and concern that are still stored in your body. VIRGO — Work toward achieving a better unity between you and the people around you, Virgo. It could be that certain people in your circle of friends somehow feel alienated in one way or another. Perhaps they don’t feel like they fit in with the rest of the group. Remind yourself and others that everyone +*#!2 +1$)"$ is unique and that all should be equally accepted despite

individual differences. LIBRA — You will feel much better about yourself if you get things done today, Libra. Like a meal that tastes good but isn’t necessarily good for you, you might enjoy this day by being lazy, but you won’t feel so good when night comes and you realize that you haven’t accomplished anything. Use the day productively so you have a sense of fulfillment by tonight. SCORPIO — You might consider taking a rest today, Scorpio. Like a sailboat on the ocean, you’ve been taxed lately by all the turbulence. The pressure on you has been tremendous. Think about pulling your sails to half-mast in order to take a break. You may not be going as quickly as before, but you will find that this is exactly the rest you need in order to complete the voyage. SAGITTARIUS — Your thinking is apt to be quite clear and rational today, Sagittarius. This is especially important since others will be looking for your thoughts and opinions on a certain matter. People will know that they can get a straight and honest answer from you, so don’t disappoint them. Think through each situation clearly before you offer your advice. You will find that it’s worth the effort. CAPRICORN — By being around negative and flip people, you might inadvertently pick up these habits. Be careful about your associates, Capricorn, because you will find that others judge you according to the company you keep, especially if you start talking like them. Make sure to maintain a respectful attitude and proper manners no matter who your company is. AQUARIUS — You may feel like the world is caving in on you in many ways today, Aquarius. It could be that you’ve recently dug your own little cave to crawl into and be safe from the outside world. Realize that the deeper you dig in unstable terrain, the more unsteady the walls. If you aren’t careful, it’s likely to come crashing down on top of you. PISCES — Remember that you can only remain in charge as long as the others around you support your personality and leadership abilities, Pisces. Avoid mutiny by taking care of the people in your world instead of simply trying to run their lives. Gain respect with kind words and a sensitive attitude rather than by enforcing harsh rules and regulations that restrict and aggravate.

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.

Election boxes in Santa Barbara County You can drop off ballots at 32 locations

Ballot drop boxes are available throughout Santa Barbara County for the Nov. 3 general election.

The Santa Barbara County Trails Council is seeking public input for its Interim California Coastal Trails Study.

Council seeks input for coastal trail study A new interactive story map provides a virtual tour of a proposed 50-mile backbone trail and spur routes in North County. The Santa Barbara County Trails Council released the map as part of a multi-use trail study, and the panel is seeking public input. You can find the map at arcg. is/0v5PTS and make your comments there through Sunday for the Interim Coastal Trail Study. The study identifies routing for an interim or secondary coastal trail until a truly Coastal Trail, within the Pacific’s sight and sound, is feasible in North County, according to a news release. The study is identifying alignments or braided alignments for a continuous trail from Guadalupe to Gaviota. The trails council is preparing the study for the Santa Barbara County

Association of Governments to help planning efforts for preferred routes, safety improvements and funding needs. “Throughout the North County, there is a wealth of untapped recreational opportunities, from cycling rural roads to walks along a dune-laced coastline to jogging through vibrant marine chaparral habitats,� Project Manager Brian Bresolin of SBCAG said in the news release. “We need to continue to evaluate how these trails are linked and expanded to enhance the county’s active trail system.� Mark Wilkinson, the trail council’s executive director, said the panel expects 20 miles of off-road trails will be added in North County during the next five to 10 years. To review a draft study for the Interim California Coastal Trail, see exploresanta-barbara-county.com/cts/docs/CTSDraft-Public-Review-10-13-20.pdf. — Dave Mason

Voters can mail their ballots or drop them off at 32 ballot drop box locations in Santa Barbara County. If voters choose to mail them, the U.S. Post Office suggests doing so by Oct. 27 to ensure it will be postmarked and counted by Nov. 3, the date of the election. In addition to mail-in ballots, 35 polling places will be open Oct. 31 through Election Day on Nov. 3. Face coverings are required, and there will likely be socially distanced waiting lines. This is provided for those who prefer in-person voting or need additional services such as language assistance or a replacement ballot. Monday was the deadline to register. If the deadline is missed, voters may use the conditional voter registration process through Election Day, and must go to the County Registrar of Voters office or a polling place to register and vote. The three election offices in the county are now open for voting, voter registration and voter questions through Election Day: the Santa Barbara location, at 4440-A Calle Real from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, except holidays; the Lompoc location, at 401 E. Cypress St., Room 102 from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday except holidays; and the Santa Maria location, at 511 E. Lakeside Parkway, Suite 134 from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday except holidays. The Lompoc office will be moving to the Lompoc Veteran’s Memorial Building at 100 E. Locust Ave., starting Thursday to better serve voters. For any questions or assistance, go to www.sbcvote.com or call 805-568-2200. Each drop box is categorized as accessible, drive-up, walk-up or all three, and they’re open 24 hours a day through 8 p.m. on Election Day. Here’s where you’ll find the 32 drop boxes: • Buellton has one accessible, drive-up and walk-up drop box located at Buellton City Hall, 107 W.

NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT DRAFT MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION – PLN2019-00425 AND NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING A Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration (DMND) has been prepared for the following project, pursuant to the State of California Public Resources Code and the “Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970,� as amended to date. PROJECT LOCATION: 604 East Ortega Street PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project consists of the Ortega Park Master Plan, including demolition of existing facilities and construction of a new swimming pool, wading pool, water slide, skate park, splash pad, sports courts, shade sails, sports field with synthetic turf, ping pong tables, cornhole, and buildings for restrooms and maintenance. On-site improvements such as fencing, parking, landscaping, dumpsters and related enclosures and internal walkways are also proposed. Right-ofway improvements including street parking, parking medians, and sidewalk installation are also proposed. Front setback modifications to allow parking within the required 10-foot front setbacks along both Ortega Street and Salsipuedes Street are requested. Planning Commission review and approval of the proposed skate park for consistency with amenities allowed in the Community Park category of Park, as well as review of the proposed Modifications, is required. A formal recommendation from the Parks and Recreation Commission to the Planning Commission regarding the Master Plan is required. Review and approval for all exterior improvements on a City-owned lot is required by the Architectural Board of Review. County Environmental Health Services review and approval of the project’s Soil Management Plan is required. Parks and Recreation department staff are seeking grant funding from State and non-profit organizations. The park is considered a Community Park (except the ballfields and related facilities), a Sports Facility (for the ballfields and related facilities only), and a Community Building (the Welcome House) per City Council Resolution 17-074. The parcel is zoned P-R, with a General Plan designation of Parks and Open Space.

DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT: An Initial Study and a DMND have been prepared for this project and are available for review and comment. The DMND examines environmental impacts which may be associated with this project. Significant environmental effects identified in the DMND which are anticipated as a result of the project include impacts related to Biological Resources, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Noise, and Water Quality and Hydrology. The DMND includes proposed mitigation measures to mitigate potentially significant impacts to a less than significant level. The project site used to function as a municipal dump; a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment of the parcel concluded that various metals, including lead and zinc, exist in the soil and groundwater at levels that exceed California Hazardous Waste Thresholds. Accordingly, a Soil Management Plan has been reviewed and conditionally approved by County Environmental Health Services to ensure compliance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations. It is noted, however, that the site is not identified on any of the lists enumerated under Section 65962.5 of the Government Code. DOCUMENT AVAILABILITY: The DMND is available for review online at www.SantaBarbaraCa. gov/eir. If you are unable to review the document online, please contact Stephanie Swanson (contact information below). PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The public comment period has been extended to November 8, 2020. The City of Santa Barbara encourages the public to provide written comment on this and other projects. The public review period begins on Friday, October 9, 2020. Comments on the DMND must be submitted by Friday, November 8, 2020, at 4:30 p.m. Please send your comments to: City of Santa Barbara, Planning Division, Attn: Stephanie Swanson, Associate Planner, P.O. Box 1990, Santa Barbara, CA 93102-1990, or send them electronically to SSwanson@SantaBarbaraCA.gov.

Please note, a hearing to take public comment will only be held if specifically requested, otherwise, review and adoption of the DMND, along with the project review, will occur at a later public hearing of the Planning Commission. The special hearing would ONLY be to take additional public comment on the environmental document, not the project itself. FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT: Following the end of the DMND public review period, a Final Mitigated Negative Declaration including responses to comments and mitigation monitoring and reporting program will be prepared, and subsequent noticed public hearing will be held at the Planning Commission to consider actions to approve the project. If you challenge the permit approval or environmental document in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised in written correspondence delivered to the Planning Commission, or in a public hearing on the project. *NOTES REGARDING PUBLIC HEARING: The special Planning Commission meeting will only occur if specifically requested, and would begin at 1:00 p.m. Thursday afternoon.

UCSB basketball has Miles to go before they rest By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

The third school is the charm for Miles Norris, UCSB’s 6-foot10 basketball transfer from San Diego. He’d never set foot in Santa Barbara before his recruiting trip here, but it already feels like home to the former Oregon Duck and City College of San Francisco Ram. “Reminds me of San Diego,” Norris said. “I love it here,” he continued as he milled outside the Thunderdome before last week’s first official practice. “I love my teammates and the campus atmosphere — the people around here — and especially having the beach down the street. “We like to ride bikes, and there are some nice places to ride around — to the beach and stuff like that. This is a great place to be.” He’s a great player to have, according to his new coach and teammates. “At his size, he’s an elite athlete who can really jump,” coach Joe Pasternack said. “He’s long, he’s able to get deflections on defense, and he’s got the versatility to guard different positions. “And on offense, he can really shoot the ball.” In the eyes on his new point

guard, he’s lived up to his billing as last year’s California Community College Player of the Year. “He’s got super-potential,” said senior Devearl Ramsey, who had Norris as one of his cohorts during the pod workouts that preceded Thursday’s first official practice. “In fact, the new guys are all fitting in like a glove.” Norris, the longest stretchfour forward in Pasternack’s four seasons as UCSB’s coach, even fits the Retrospec bike that he’s been riding around campus. “It’s a pretty big one, so I hope nobody can steal it,” he said with a laugh as he gestured toward the Thunderdome’s bike rack. “I do have a nice lock on that thing.” Pasternack tried to lock up Norris early when he was recruiting for the University of Arizona. “He was only a freshman then — I remember it to this day,” he said. “He was long and lanky, and it looked like he was going to be a Pac-12-type player. I kept recruiting him when he was a sophomore, and then I left Arizona to come to Santa Barbara … and he went to Oregon.” Norris, a four-star recruit, was ranked by 247Sports.com as the third-best power forward in the West in the 2018 recruiting class. His mother, the former Christina Metzger, had been a two-time All-

Nor Pac forward for the Ducks in the mid-1980s. “It was a big family decision, but she didn’t force me to do anything,” he said. “I liked it there during my visit and it was actually ironic that I ended up going there.” His mother, ironically, also transferred to a UC school — making All-Nor Pac at Cal during her senior year of 1985-86. “She still has some skills,” Norris said. “I was in seventh or eighth grade when I passed her up in height. I probably beat her for the first time then in one-on-one, too, when I was in eighth grade. “We had a basketball court at our apartment complex where I used to shoot every day. She’d come outside and teach me new stuff. She was my coach in the rec league when I was younger. She’s always been teaching me new things, as well as my dad.” His father, Frederick Norris, also played basketball, although hip replacement surgery reduced their father-son rivalry to the shooting game of HORSE. “He’d beat me with his bank shots,” Norris recalled. “He really had those down.” Norris made Oregon’s nine-man rotation as a freshman during the 2018-19 season, averaging 3.3 points on 54% shooting in nearly 11 minutes per game for a 25-win team. The Ducks won the Pac-12

Tournament and advanced to the Sweet 16. “I got a lot out of that season, just competing against Bol Bol, Kenny Wooten and Louis King every day,” he said. “I think I got better playing against them, just coming to practice ready to compete.” But he still wanted to play for the coach who recruited him as a young teen. He contacted Pasternack about transferring to UCSB, and even took in a Gaucho soccer match against Cal Poly during his recruiting trip. “It was a great visit,” Norris said. “It was great seeing everyone throw tortillas onto the field. “I didn’t get to throw any — I should’ve come prepared. I heard it was something they’d do but I didn’t know THAT many people would throw them. They were throwing those tortillas the whole game. It was pretty funny.” Norris, a Dean’s-List student at CCSF, spent last season playing for the Rams instead of sitting out last

season as a redshirt at UCSB. He used the time to hone his outside shot, leading San Francisco to a 30-0 record by scoring a teambest 16.0 points per game on 41.4% percent shooting from three-point range. He also averaged 6.1 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.4 blocked shots for a team that was ranked No. 1 in the state for 20 consecutive weeks. The Rams won the Northern California Community College championship and were heavy favorites to claim the state title when the COVID-19 pandemic abruptly ended last season. “It was crushing,” he said. “We were getting on the bus, ready to leave, and then they canceled the (State JC Elite 8) tournament. “It’s something we have to deal

with this year, too — just handling adversity. You never know what’s going to come. That’s what we’ve talked about as a team from Day One.” Norris claims to have learned about more than just basketball while at San Francisco. “You’re on your own and have to handle all your own stuff,” he said. “You don’t have a lot of people doing that for you, so you’ve got to grow up real fast.” It has the 20-year-old power forward ready for whatever awaits him at UCSB. “Having already been place-toplace, I feel like I can adapt pretty fast,” he said. “I’m already getting used to things here … and excited to get the process going.” email: mpatton@newspress.com

SOFT WASHING Soft washing is the alternative to pressure washing. We use water based, biodegradable solutions. They emulsify dirt and grime, break down insect nests and webs as well as kill mold, mildew, algae and bacteria. All while sanitizing the surface we are cleaning. Soft washing uses one-third the water of pressure washing, lasts four to six times longer, and doesn’t erode the surface like pressure washing often can.

ADDING HOME VALUE According to the National Association of Realtors, cleaning the homes exterior (for the home and driveway) can add anywhere from $10,000 to $15,000 to the value of your home, making pressure washing one of the most costeffective and time-efficient cleaning techniques. “High pressure washing systems are likely to damage asphalt roofing and should not be used on asphalt roofing for removing algae or for any other purpose.” — Asphalt Roofing Manufacturing Association

Kershaw to start for Dodgers tonight When the Dodgers take the field for Game 1 of the World Series tonight against the Tampa Bay Rays at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, they will do so with their ace on the mound. Left-hander Clayton Kershaw will start for L.A. and be opposed by Tampa Bay hard-throwing righthander Tyler Glasnow. It will be the fifth career World Series start for Kershaw, who was scratched from his Game 2 start of the National League Championship Series against Atlanta because of back spasms. The veteran southpaw did pitch Game 4 against the Braves and made it into the sixth inning. Kershaw began the playoffs by tossing eight scoreless innings with 13 strikeouts against the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 2 of the wild card series. He then held the San Diego Padres to three runs over six innings in Game 2 of the NLDS. The Dodgers’ pitching plan after Game 1 is unclear. L.A.’s other four starters — Walker Buehler, Tony Gonsolin, Dustin May and Urías — all pitched in the NLCS’s final two games. Buehler logged six scoreless innings in Game 6 on Saturday, meaning he

would pitch on three days’ rest Wednesday. Kershaw finished the regular season with a 2.16 ERA, 62 strikeouts and only eight walks in 58 innings and experienced a slight uptick in fastball velocity. Glasnow, 27, went 5-1 with a 4.08 ERA in 11 regular-season starts and has allowed eight runs in 13 innings over his last three postseason appearances. Las Vegas has the Dodgers as the favorites to win the franchise’s first World Series title since 1988. While the Dodgers have been wire-to-wire favorites this season, the Rays have been underdogs from the beginning. Tampa Bay entered the regular season as a midtier contender in sportsbooks’ eyes, with 18-1 odds to win the World Series. The Rays could be found as long as 30-1 as the playoffs began. They overcame the odds, though, knocking off the Yankees and the Houston Astros along the way to reach the franchise’s second World Series. Entering the playoffs, the Dodgers had attracted 26% of the money wagered on the odds to win the World Series at William Hill. The Rays had attracted less than 3% of the money. The Dodgers are around -170 favorites over the Rays in Game 1 tonight. — Gerry Fall

Santa Barbara Soft Wash uses processes and roof cleaning solutions that are recommended by the ARMA so you can be reassured that your roof warranty is not voided.

KILLS MOLD, MILDEW, & ALGAE The problem with high pressure washing is it only strips away the top of the algae bloom, and while it may temporarily remove discoloration, it leaves the root spores on the surface, often blasting them deeper, and allowing them to grow back thicker and healthier. Soft Washing penetrates to the root of the growth, eliminating the discoloration instantly while breaking the bond of the spores and achieving a 100% kill ratio.

DAVE MASON / NEWS-PRESS

President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden will square off in their second and final presidential debate on Thursday.

GOP wants Trump to focus on economy, values, corruption; Democrats say Biden should attack pandemic response debate

Continued from Page A1 the defunding of police and sheriff’s departments across the country. “Those are the two big things that I think President Trump needs to hit home, and I hope he hits it out of the park,” she said. Andy Caldwell, the Coalition of Labor, Agriculture & Business executive director, said President Trump should go after the issues of taxes and family values, as there is “a clear delineation between the two parties” on them. Mr. Caldwell, a Nipomo Republican running against U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, said President Trump should mention the Democrats’ support for repealing the Trump tax cuts. As for family values, Mr. Caldwell said the president should bring up Mr. Biden’s recent comments at his ABC town hall that 8-year-old children should be able to change their

gender. Mr. Caldwell added that the president should mention the Democratic candidate’s son Hunter Biden’s dealings with energy firms in Ukraine and China. The COLAB executive director said the Oct. 14 New York Post story revealing the younger Biden brokered a meeting between his VP father and a board adviser of Ukrainian energy firm Burisma begins to reveal “the dirty, dirty details” of corruption from Mr. Biden, who took part in “influence peddling” so his son could “reap millions of dollars in transaction.” Mr. Caldwell, who’s a NewsPress columnist, said the former vice president has taken part in “the worst corruption I’ve seen in my entire lifetime.” “Hunter Biden would have qualified for none of those contracts,” Mr. Caldwell said. “He was not an expert in anything he was selling. Joe Biden is what they were selling vis a vis Hunter Biden’s involvement.”

Santa Barbara Democrats unanimously told the News-Press that Mr. Biden should convince undecided voters that he is the superior candidate by pointing out the shortcomings of President Trump’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Santa Barbara County Democratic Party chair Gail Teton-Landis told the News-Press that due to 200,000 Americans succumbing to the coronavirus and Mr. Biden convincingly demonstrating needed leadership qualities throughout the campaign, he doesn’t really need to do that much during the final debate. “He has already demonstrated throughout this election cycle that he has what this country needs to pull us out of the nightmare of this pandemic and the economic recession that it brought about,” she said. David Atkins, the California Democratic Party region 10 director and Santa Barbara County Democratic Central Committee south vice chair,

agreed that Mr. Biden should continue to bring up President Trump’s “failure in addressing the pandemic.” Though Mr. Atkins doesn’t think there are many undecided voters left, he said the former vice president should capture those voters by continuing to do what he has been doing, promising to “govern responsibly in a way that respects and protects every American.” State Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, D-Santa Barbara, said that because the public is hungering for a plan on how to get through the COVID-19 crisis, Mr. Biden should articulate his plan just as he did at his ABC town hall. “I think the public is very well aware of the inadequacy of the Trump response or lack of response to the virus,” she said. “I think Vice President Biden articulated a plan during his town hall, and I suspect he will articulate it again.” email: jgrega@newspress.com

Bernard White died peacefully at home on October 16th, 2020, less than a month after his 97th birthday. Bernie, along with his twin sister Charlotte, was born in Youngstown, Ohio, to Anna and Sam White. He served in the army in World War II, and was part of the first occupying troops in Japan. he came home, and joined Cleveland Auto Wrecking, the family business, which he helped build into the largest auto wrecking company in America. He married Maureen Eigner Shorr in 1969, and became father to her three children, Victoria, Robert and Richard. The family moved to Palm Springs in 1971, where he joined his brothers in real estate development in the Coachella Valley. He developed the Green Zone, which received the first LEEDS certification in the region, along with a commendation from then-Mayor Sonny Bono. Bernie and Maureen moved to Santa Barbara in 1980, where they immediately became part of the community and felt very much at home. They joined and actively supported the Santa Barbara Art Museum, the Music Academy of the West, City College, and Bnai Brith Synagogue. They also enjoyed summers at Chautauqua Institution in New York State. He took greatest pleasure in his extended family, including nieces and nephews, and spent many happy hours golfing at La Cumbre and barbecuing on the Hope Ranch beach with them all. His parties in the garden were legend, where he out-danced everyone, and to honor that, a black tie memorial celebration of his life is planned, post-Covid. Survivors include the great love of his life, his wife Maureen, their three children, nine grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.

Continued from Page A1 Santa Maria Public Airport District. He is running for reelection in that role Nov. 3 as well. Mr. Baskett is endorsed by the Santa Barbara County Republican Party. “I believe it’s very important that the most critical thing facing Santa Maria and much of our culture is that we standardize in teaching of language skills, and that should be English,” he said in a candidate forum led by the Future Leaders of America and the League of Women Voters of Santa Maria Valley. “It’s not going to be popular, but I believe for the best future of the kids, we should focus on English.” He also noted in the forum that he is not a supporter of Proposition 15, saying it would tax businesses who already pay plenty of money. “I’m for more money in the classroom and for the teachers, but I’m against Proposition 15,” Mr. Baskett said. ANGIE MARIE BOLDEN

Ms. Bolden is running with a focus on education equity. This is her first time running for any office. “I have been an advocate for students since 1992,” she said in the FLA candidate forum. “My passion is working with youth.” She often attends school board meetings and said she is at each school approximately two times a week. “Whatever the students need,

that’s where I am,” Ms. Bolden said. She values ethnic and gender studies programs. “We need to teach our kids about one another’s cultures and let them learn about their culture,” she said. Ms. Bolden is endorsed by the Democratic Club of Santa Maria Valley. AMY LOPEZ

Ms. Lopez is currently the president of the board, a role she was appointed to after a member retired. Then voters reinstated her in 2016.

She began her work in the district in 1999, assisting Santa Maria High School students who are pregnant or are parents. Ms. Lopez is an advocate for ethnic and gender studies programs and recently helped make a board plan to make those studies a requirement within the next five years. She also hopes to better equip students to attend college and increase test scores in courses required for college entrance. JACK GARVIN

arguing for the success of the current board. On his Facebook page, he expressed support for re-election alongside Amy Lopez. “I’m running again to support the idea of REACH, which was Michelle Obama’s focus in the White House, preparing youngsters for a college education or a two-year degree from a community college or technical school,” he said in his opening statement at the candidate forum. He recently posted photos of new career technical education facilities on his Facebook page saying, “I believe an interest will be awakened in many of our students, an interest in some form of technical education that was unknown until they experienced a class in either Culinary Arts, Animal Husbandry, Diesel Mechanics or Viniculture, just to name a few.” JENNIFER MELENA

Dr. Melena grew up in Santa Maria, and after receiving a doctorate in clinical athletic training from the University of Idaho, she returned. She is involved with students as a coach and trainer of various teams. “My education has allowed me as a community to return to my roots and be able to give back,” she said in the candidate forum.
