Ventura and San Luis Obispo counties from the Southern California Region. The county Public Health Department plans to make the same request. If granted, the requests would create a new Central Coast Region. The Southern California Region includes Santa Barbara, Ventura, San Luis Obispo, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, San Diego, Orange, Riverside, Mono, Inyo, and Imperial counties. As part of Southern California, Santa Barbara County has entered a three-week stay-athome order that the state requires of California regions where ICU’s available capacity reaches below

15%. According to Santa Barbara County Public Health Officer Dr. Henning Ansorg, the county’s available ICU capacity as of Sunday was 38%. However, the region’s ICU capacity is brought down by larger and more populous counties such as Los Angeles County, which has experienced a massive surge in COVID-19 cases. According to a news release from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, the Southern California Region’s ICU capacity was 10.3% as of Sunday.

District Attorney Joyce E. Dudley announced a settlement Monday between Santa Barbara County and Southern California Edison over civil and criminal complaints stemming from a 2019 grading project in Mission Canyon.

Mission Creek and its tributaries. In total, the company discharged approximately 965,113 gallons of sidecast over the edge of Spyglass Ridge Road into Mission Canyon, according to the county. Of that, approximately 74,044 gallons were discharged into the waters of the U.S. and approximately 521,756 gallons were discharged into California’s waters, the county said. The county said the work resulted in alterations in Mission Creek’s streambed and obstructions in the water flows, as well as permanent changes to the natural environment by carving rock and vegetation from the mountainside. The county said Southern California Edison also caused the permanent loss of some native trees and vegetation, and degraded the habitat for some fish, wildlife and rare plant communities. And the county contended the company’s actions led to multiple closures of one of the county’s most popular recreation areas. Since the incident, Southern California Edison has cooperated with regulators, the county said. At the direction of the Santa Please see EDISON on A8

Southern California Edison has agreed to pay a $3.5 million civil penalty and plead guilty to a misdemeanor as part of a settlement with Santa Barbara County over Mission Canyon. The company and the county District Attorney’s Consumer and Environmental Protection Unit reached a global settlement to resolve civil and criminal actions stemming from a December 2019 grading project. The county said the project caused significant environmental harm to Mission Canyon. District Attorney Joyce E. Dudley announced the settlement Monday. The case is People vs. Southern California Edison Co. The pact addresses criminal and civil complaints against Southern California Edison, which the county said obstructed water flow, caused the loss of vegetation and trees, and degraded the Santa Barbara site as a natural habitat. “The Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office is committed to prosecuting violations of California’s environmental laws,” Ms. Dudley said in a statement. “While the decision to charge a corporation criminally is not one that prosecutors take lightly, our office will do so when the underlying conduct warrants such action. “We believe the resolution in this case reflects the seriousness of SCE’s impact on our environment,” Ms. Dudley said. “We commend the company for accepting responsibility and committing to remediate the damage it caused and appreciate the company’s cooperation throughout the investigation.” Santa Barbara County alleged that between Dec. 4 and Dec. 16, 2019, Southern California Edison engaged in an unpermitted road maintenance and widening project along 1.6 miles of Spyglass Ridge Road, starting at the base of the Inspiration Point trailhead. The county said Southern California Edison’s work discharged a substantial amount of rock, sediment and debris (“sidecast”) down the slopes into

Project goes online to help developmentally disabled By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

W

hen the COVID19 pandemic started, The Rhythmic Arts Project nonprofit was more prepared to go remote with its programming than many organizations were. TRAP founder Eddie Tuduri told the News-Press he put all of his curriculum for instructing developmentally disabled individuals online five years ago. With programs in the U.S., Canada, Australia, Bulgaria, Spain, Turkey, Thailand and most recently Nairobi, Kenya, TRAP’s curriculum has an international reach. Because he couldn’t realistically fly to every foreign and domestic locality that wanted to set up a TRAP program, Mr. Tuduri decided it would be easier to spread its reach by making it available on the internet. Percussion helps people to learn skills through means that are not only auditory and visual, but tactile as well.

“When COVID happened, I was already set up and had been doing virtual training in many countries and across the states,” he said. Nevertheless, prior to the pandemic Mr. Tuduri was still traveling to many places with PathPoint’s community integration manager Gil Addison to do one-on-one instruction with students. TRAP’s instruction involves teaching individuals with developmental disabilities reading, writing, arithmetic, social skills, and creative thinking by utilizing drums as a tactile teaching tool. For example, when teaching a child number-basics like how to count to four, Mr. Tuduri or one of the other TRAP instructors would play four quarter notes on the drum while saying, “One, two, three, four.” Or if three drums are laid in front of a student with numbers Please see rhythm on A4

Great gifts for the whole person

M

y choices for great holiday gifts are based on what’s best for the whole person. These are all aids to emotional fitness and healing. I have them and use them all. And no, you will not find them under your seat, but they can all be had via your computer. (I know you were wondering what to do with those gift cards.) 1. Smart watch. Mine is by Apple, but there are numerous others. The important things to look for are features and apps that will keep you safe and help you stay healthy. Exercise and sleep-tracking features are excellent aids for self-healing along with heart monitors and, my personal favorite, the findmy-phone button. That alone has saved me at least a pound of adrenaline doing epic phone searches. 2. The bidet-seat. With the shortage of toilet paper, doing a lot more sitting, and having a Jewish stomach, this purchase has been a godsend. I got it for my wife, never thinking I would use it, and now it’s a common practice and something that my GI doctor says may well prevent some

possible serious issues. I love the heated seat. 3. Robot mop. Her name is Snow, and my wife treats her like a member of the family. She has mapped the entire house, avoids my guitars, and the floors have never been cleaner. During this time in our lives, it’s nice to know we can be more sanitary than ever before and make it less laborious. 4. High quality speakers. I have two that are paired on my desk, and I hear this outstanding HD sound. Tony Scott’s Music for Zen Meditation is an album I have been listening to since before eight-track tapes, and it has never sounded better. I hate earbuds, though I know the sound is amazing — and these little round speakers are better. For this music lover, they are a must. I’m getting a pair for the TV as well. I’m sure the result will be almost as good as going to the movies. 5. Shower bench. If you have a stand-up shower and want to make your bathing more relaxing, consider a shower bench or stool. It can make a world of difference after a long day or if you are healing. To have a place to sit down while the hot water runs

over you and sends you into bliss city. The starting price of these wonderful bath accessories is rather modest, but the benefits are priceless. 6. Panini maker. This is a great appliance and, in the winter, hot sandwiches that are easily made is definitely a big comfort aid. Add some soup and you are set for lunch or dinner. These gadgets aren’t expensive and they really put even a great grilled cheese sandwich to shame. For those people who have a hard time eating, putting something new and delicious in front of them helps. Now that we have these great gifts for the whole person in our lives, it’s hard to believe we ever got on without them. Some are a little pricey, but finding discounts isn’t that hard, and these things are such assets. Some will save you labor, and some may save your life, but all of them will bring you a little more joy and help you feel better in some way.

It will remain closed to visitors at least through Dec. 28, but employees will continue to work there to care for the animals. In the meantime, people are encouraged to visit sbzoo.org and the Santa Barbara Zoo’s sites on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to enjoy the zoo from their home.

on the skins ascending in quantity from left to right, an instructor may ask questions such as which number is the greatest, in which case the students would tap the left drum. In more complicated lessons, TRAP students will have to do what the nonprofit founder referred to as “crossing the midline.� An example of this would be if a row of drums before a student had colors on the skins, with red on the farright drum and black on the farleft drum, and the instructor told the student to hit black with his or her right hand. According to Mr. Tuduri, this method allows people with disabilities to learn through ways that are not only auditory and visual, but tactile as well. He added that when instructing

people with disabilities, person-to-person connection is especially important, and something he admitted has been lost with moving to an online format. “These folks especially need that personal touch,� he said. With that said, TRAP has managed to continue and expand its program by Mr. Tuduri instructing new teachers on how to teach the program’s curriculum. This involves Mr. Tuduri and Mr. Addison sitting in on Zoom sessions while a new teacher instructs TRAP students in different locations and giving feedback, or receiving recordings of remote lessons and then critiquing them. Most recently, the nonprofit has been instructing new teachers in the Kenyan capital city of Nairobi, who are teaching students from the city’s poorest slums. Having gained a foothold there, Mr. Tuduri hopes to

expand TRAP’S curriculum to the rest of the continent. “Nairobi is the latest far-away place and I’m loving it, and this will be an open door in the rest of Africa, we hope,� he said. Mr. Tuduri remarked that while many of the remote learning systems set up in unified school districts are “failing,� that isn’t the case for that which TRAP has set up. “We are not failing because we took the time to figure this out and it didn’t happen overnight. We’ve been doing this for months and months and months,� he said. While drums are merely a tool for TRAP to teach scholastic subjects, Mr. Tuduri said the program’s students have actually exhibited real musical aptitude. “This isn’t a music program, but man, they can play. They do everything with rhythm.� email: jgrega@newspress.com

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS

Horoscope.com Tuesday, December 8, 2020

ARIES — Someone you think of as a friend may prove less than trustworthy today, Aries. There are indications of deception all around you. Perhaps someone is keeping something from you or telling outright lies. Don’t be too suspicious of anyone but check the facts of a situation before you take someone’s word for anything. It’s always best to do that anyway. TAURUS — Today you might get the feeling that someone in your family is hiding something. The atmosphere might be strained and somewhat tense. Your natural inclination is to try to spread oil on troubled waters to return the situation to normal, Taurus, but this isn’t likely to be the right course of action here. Let things ride. Whoever is hiding something isn’t likely to reveal it. GEMINI — Gossip you hear today might make you angry. You’re likely to sense it isn’t true. Take nothing at face value today. Check the facts before making any judgments. Discontent is in the air, Gemini, and when people are disgruntled, they tend to say things they don’t mean. Avoid the temptation to be confrontational. It will only make things worse. Try to spend some time alone if you can. CANCER — There is more than meets the eye to a money situation today, Cancer. There could be errors in your financial records, or someone may not be telling the truth about an important item. You’re a caring, trusting person, but this isn’t the day to blindly accept anyone’s statements. Check the facts and see for yourself, then act accordingly in order to see to your own best interests. LEO — Today, Leo, you probably aren’t going to feel very friendly. You’re most likely to want to sequester yourself at home and not see or speak to anyone. If your need for solitude is that strong, indulge it. You won’t do yourself any good by forcing contact with others. You might feel a little out of sorts physically, so it’s especially important to eat right and get lots of vitamin C. VIRGO — Self-control is the word for today, Virgo. Others’ unethical behavior could trigger some long-buried anger that might make you want to lash out at those responsible. This won’t solve anything. The best way to handle these rather explosive emotions is honest communication, but today it could deteriorate into arguments. Try counting to ten before confronting anyone. It +*#!2 +1$)"$ works!

LIBRA — Anger and resentment caused by past hurts could come up today, at times tempting you to burst into tears. Don’t fight it. Just find someplace where you can be alone and let it out. This is only a symptom of personal and spiritual growth on your part. Releasing the past clears the way for breakthroughs in the future. You could wake up tomorrow morning feeling like a changed person! SCORPIO — Someone you think of as a friend may prove less than trustworthy today, Scorpio. There are indications of deception all around you. Perhaps someone is keeping something from you or telling outright lies. Don’t be too suspicious of anyone but check the facts of a situation before you take someone’s word for anything. It’s always best to do that anyway. SAGITTARIUS — Something underhanded is going on, Sagittarius. Unethical people could be trying to manipulate certain situations in order to turn them to their own benefit. Be careful! Steer clear of any “political� conversations, and refrain from commenting on any situation or listening to gossip. On the positive side, your intuition is sharp, so you should be able to sense the trustworthy. CAPRICORN — If you’ve been thinking about executing legal papers of any kind, Capricorn, this isn’t the day to do it. Any contract entered into today is likely to have confusing clauses and obscure language that you may not understand and that potentially could be used against you. This also isn’t the day to start or even plan a journey of any kind. However, it’s a great day for reading or meditation. AQUARIUS — Money matters look uncertain and a bit deceptive, Aquarius. This isn’t a good day to enter into any kind of investment program, negotiate salaries or commissions, or change banks. Your dreams may be a bit disturbing, but this likely reflects fears from the past rather than dangers in the future. Write them down, however. You may learn a lot about yourself by studying the symbols. PISCES — New people may come into your life today. If you get bad vibes from one of them, trust your instincts! Signs are that you will meet at least one new acquaintance who isn’t trustworthy. This isn’t a good day to enter into any kind of partnership, nor is it a good day to get married or even propose marriage. Put all plans for cementing partnerships on hold for a few days!

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.

If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 recorder’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. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call In Source Logic at 702-659-7766 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000215-19-1. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice to Tenant NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,� you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,� you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 702-659-7766, or visit this internet website www.insourcelogic. com, using the file number assigned to this case CA08000215-19-1 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale.

PROPOSAL: CATE SCHOOL MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT PROJECT ADDRESS: 1970 LILLINGSTON CANYON RD, CARPINTERIA, CA 93013 1st SUPERVISORIAL DISTRICT THIS PROJECT IS LOCATED IN THE COASTAL ZONE DATE OF NOTICE: 12/8/2020 REQUEST FOR HEARING EXPIRATION DATE: 01/04/2021 PERMIT NUMBER: 20TEX-00000-00029 APPLICATION FILED: 11/23/2020 ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NO.: 001-040-008 ZONING: AG-I-10 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Applicant: Heidi Jones Proposed Project: Time extension for 19CDP-128 approved March 16, 2020: Coastal Development Permit associated with 19AMD-00000-000011 which is an Amendment to 13RVP-00000-00009 to allow demolition of 4,290 square feet and an addition of 6,823 square feet to the existing 13,516 square foot Raymond Commons, demolition of 572 square feet to the existing 6,872 square foot McBean Library, interior improvements to the Johnson Library and Savage House of Cate School, and other site improvements such as new landscaping, exterior lighting, paths, and circular driveway. The previous approval under 13RVP-00000-00009 did not account for the 2,533 net square foot addition to Raymond Commons and demolition of 572 square feet of the McBean library and renovations to Savage House. The proposed interior renovations to Savage House will extend the life of the structure until such time Cate proceeds with its demolition and construction of the Multipurpose building in this location (as authorized under 13RVP-00000-00009). This Amendment would allow construction of 156,240 net square feet of total new building space (new construction minus demolition) as part of the full Master Plan build out which is 1,961 net square feet more than the original approval under 13RVP-00000-00009. The proposed project would require an additional 2,700 cubic yards of cut, 2,500 cubic yards of fill, and 200 cubic yards of export/25 truck trips, over what was approved under 13RVP-00000-00009 which approved a total of 5,000 cubic yards of export. No trees are proposed for removal. The parcel would continue to be served by the Carpinteria Valley Water District, a private wastewater treatment plant, and the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District. Access would continue to be provided off of Cate Mesa road. The property is a 122.70-acre parcel zoned AG-I-10 and shown as Assessor’s Parcel Number 001-040-008, located at 1970 Lillingston Canyon Road in the Carpinteria Area, First Supervisorial District. The proposed Amendment carries forward the Cate School Master Plan approval as authorized by 13RVP-00000-00009 (for APN’s: 001-140-080, -010, -011 and -041) and its associated authorized development, operations and conditions and mitigation measures with the exception of the changes that are the subject of this Amendment. APPEALS: The decision of the Director of the Planning and Development Department to approve, conditionally approve, or deny this Time Extension application 20TEX-00000-00029 may be appealed to the County Planning Commission by the applicant or an aggrieved person. The written appeal must be filed within the 10 calendar days following the date that the Director takes action on this Time Extension application. To qualify as an “aggrieved person� the appellant must have, in person or through a representative, informed the Planning and Development Department by appropriate means prior to the decision on the Coastal Development Permit of the nature of their concerns, or, for good cause, was unable to do so. Written appeals must be filed with the Planning and Development Department at either 123 East Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara, 93101, or 624 West Foster Road, Suite C, Santa Maria, 93455, by 5:00 p.m. within the timeframe identified above.

Gauchos counterpunch Loyola for 69-58 win By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

UCSB had to keep its cool against a physical Loyola Marymount basketball team on Monday, and that meant that coach Joe Pasternack had to keep JaQuori McLaughlin in the game. “I wish I didn’t play him 36 minutes,” Pasternack said, “but he’s my security blanket out there.” McLaughlin’s team-high 19 points and five assists led the Gauchos to a 69-58 victory over the Lions at the Thunderdome. “We just played together as a team, got into a lot of huddles, kept our cool and focused on the game plan,” McLaughlin said. “I think we did a good job of not letting that get to us, sticking to the game plan and being a tougher team.” UCSB (3-0) out-shot LMU (3-4) 48% to 30.5%, but the Lions were much better at rebounding their own misses. They reclaimed 24 of them while winning the rebound battle, 46-27. Eli Scott — a powerfully built, 6-foot-5 senior wing — had 12 rebounds while matching his careerhigh of 31 points. Keli Leaupepe, a 6-6 and 248-pound Australian, was also tough Down Under with 14 points and 11 rebounds. “They absolutely out-physicaled us, out-toughed us, and they wound up out-rebounding us,” Pasternack said. “But credit to them. They played hard and they are really tough. There’s a reason (Scott) is a first-team, All-WCC player in the same league with Gonzaga. “This is a very good basketball team we played tonight. They’re going to win a lot of games.” The Gauchos made eight of their first 11 shots. They had to use most of the 30-second shot clock to do it, beating the buzzer with jumpers by McLaughlin, Destin Barnes and Devearl Ramsey. The last one put UCSB ahead 16-9 after eight minutes of play. Loyola rallied by swarming its own misses. Leaupepe muscled inside for a reverse layup to pull the Lions to within 21-15. By that point, LMU had more offensive rebounds (nine) than the Gauchos had total (six). But UCSB was better on the outside. McLaughlin hit a pair of threes, sandwiching another by Miles Norris, in a matter of just 1:33 to put the Gauchos ahead 3019 with 4:53 left in the first half. “Coach P told us all week that it was going to be a war, especially with the rebounding,” Norris said. “They’ve got some big, strong guys. Although I don’t think we really got the job done with the rebounding side of things, we got the win by just bringing the fight back to them.” The Gauchos stumbled to the locker room, however, with three turnovers in the last three minutes of the period. They needed a driving scoop shot by Josh Pierre-Louis and a tip-in by Brandon Cyrus to take a 34-24 lead into the break. The Gauchos shot 55.6% during the first half, making 4-of-9 from three. But they cooled off at halftime, missing five of their first

UCSB’s JaQuori McLaughlin runs past Loyola’s Quentin Jackson, Jr. during the second half of the Gauchos’ home game against Loyola Marymount at the Thunderdome on Monday

six shots plus both of their free throws to start the second half. The Lions pulled within 34-28 on a jumper by Jalin Anderson. “I thought this was a big challenge for us,” Pasternack said. “In the first half, we were really clicking on offense, but in the second half we weren’t. They were throwing punches and punches and punches, and I think we only scored two points in the first eight minutes. “But we just kept fighting. Sometimes you have to play in a game like this to get better.” Norris, a 6-foot-10 junior transfer, snapped UCSB out of its funk by scoring a runner, assisting a jumper by Ajare Sanni, and sinking a three from the top to get the lead back to 41-32. “I’m still getting used to the way we play, but I’ve got really good teammates and we’ve got pretty good team chemistry,” Norris said. “All the guys get along on the court. “I’ve just got to do what I can to get open shots for our shooters, play defense, rebound and hit my own shots.” Check, check, check, and check: Norris finished with four assists, four blocks and two steals, a teamhigh six rebounds, and 10 points on 4-for-5 shooting.” “We’ve been on him relentlessly, every single day, about being relentless with energy and effort — and he did that,” Pasternack said. A runner by Sanni and a long three by McLaughlin put the margin back into double-digits, 4635, with 9:05 remaining. Sanni, a sophomore transfer from Pacific, finished with 11 points. “Ajare’s ability to score the ball, move without the ball, and make steals on defense is big,” McLaughlin said. “And Miles, I don’t know how many blocked

shots he had, but that really helped. “His energy on the court and his ability to hit open shots and rebound is great for our team. They’re great additions to our team.” LMU scored the game’s next seven points to close to within 4643. But Sow — who hadn’t scored or rebounded since the first three minutes — got untracked with a pair of foul shots. He scored eight of his 12 points in the next five minutes. “It was a physical game and he got into foul trouble,” Pasternack said, “He’s got to play tougher on defense without fouling, that’s the bottom line. “But I really thought the last time we brought him in, and went to him, he made some huge plays.” The newcomers kept the Gauchos rolling. Sanni hit a three from the corner, Norris assisted a left-handed floater by Sow and then took a steal in for a slam dunk in a nine-point run that took the lead back up to 55-43 with four minutes to go. “We have older guys,” McLaughlin said. “It’s just the maturity of our team and the attitude of our team. When they went on their run, we talked about it and said, ‘That’s their run right there. It’s going to stop and now we’re going to go on ours.’” The Lions couldn’t get closer than eight the rest of the way. And when they did, McLaughlin’s free throws after getting hit by one of Leaupepe’s beefy elbows kept them at bay. “He hit me in my upper cheek, around my eye,” McLaughlin said. “He’s a big kid and they’re an aggressive, strong team, so you’ve got to respond to that.” email: mpatton@newspress.com

Royals’ Oriskovich anxious to relaunch volleyball career By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

The immediate volleyball future of high-leaping Madison Oriskovich has been left up in the air by the COVID-19 pandemic. The next four years, however, are falling into place just as the San Marcos High senior had envisioned them four years ago … with a soft landing on the sands of Malibu with the Pepperdine women’s beach volleyball team. “I’ve wanted this since I was little,” Oriskovich told the News-Press after committing to her future school. “I walked in there for a summer volleyball camp when I was in eighth grade and said, ‘Mom, this is where I want to be, this is where I want to go to college. “It’s a real family there. I felt it when I was there in eighth grade, and I felt it now when I went for my visit. Along with the awesome academics and sports, it’s a great place to be.” But Oriskovich, a 6-foot left-hander who hits from the opposite position, has also been left high and dry by the coronavirus. It suspended her beach volleyball season with San Marcos last spring, and it’s now reduced her workouts with the Royals’ indoor team to simple conditioning drills. The long-delayed season, which was expected to start in just 11 days, has been put on indefinite hold by the California Interscholastic Federation. “It’s been a little frustrating, but I’m honestly grateful that they’re taking the precautions that they are, just to make sure everybody is safe,” Oriskovich said. “Tina (Brown) and Dwayne (Hauschild, San Marcos’ coaches) are very on top of things. “You have to hand-sanitize every few minutes, and everybody has to keep their masks on. You have to stay on one side of the court. It is frustrating that I can’t have the season that everybody had last year. But in these times, I’m just glad that everybody is taking the precautions and being safe.” She speaks with the voice of the health professional she aspires to become. “I’m really interested in sports medicine,” she said. “I really want to give back to the sports community and help younger athletes, people like myself, and make sure their bodies as well as their minds are well taken care of. “I like helping people and I really like sports, so I

want to go into that area.” The Royals had high hopes for this season, returning 10 players from last year’s 21-7 team. San Marcos shared the 2019 Channel League championship with Dos Pueblos and advanced to the CIF-Southern Section Division 3 quarterfinals. The veterans include Oriskovich and her senior classmate, Taylor Wilson, both of whom were voted to last year’s All-Channel League team. Wilson, an outside hitter, has signed her own national letter of intent to play beach volleyball at Stanford. Four other returning Royals received all-league honorable mention: senior hitter Brooke Moore, senior middle Fionna Pennington, junior setter Ava Cole and sophomore middle Riley Green. They went from simple conditioning to regular workouts a month ago but were pushed back into the more restrictive Phase 1 protocol this week by the state’s stay-at-home order. “It was really nice to play and have a rally instead of just doing drills with only one ball,” Oriskovich said. She’s from an athletic family. Her father, Dan Oriskovich, was an All-Big East tackle for the Boston College football team during the mid-1990s. Her older brother, James, plays water polo at UCSB. “Being able to play in college, it’s been a dream,” she said. Although the girls’ indoor volleyball season will now start no earlier than January, the CIF office has kept the ending dates the same: Feb. 30 for the regular season and the weekend of March 12-13 for the Southern Section playoffs. The CIF State office has canceled the state tournament, which would’ve been held on the weekend of March 19-20. Beach volleyball, a sport now sanctioned by the NCAA, remains outside the CIF’s purview. San Marcos is a member of the Interscholastic Beach Volleyball League, an organization that plans to hold its season from March 8 to May 15. “I don’t really know how they’re going to work it out this year,” Oriskovich said. “I think they’re just going to push beach (volleyball) a little farther out so they’re not overlapping with indoor volleyball. “A lot of girls who play beach also play indoor. But it’s going to be what it’s going to be, and I’m just going to make the best of it.” email: mpatton@newspress.com

SoCal Edison to keep working on repairs to Mission Canyon EDISON

Continued from Page A1

KENNETH SONG / NEWS-PRESS PHOTOS

Artist Ruth Ellen Hoag stands in front of her painting “Havanaise,” a piece she enjoyed playing with fluorescent paints for.

Show set to run until Dec. 22, but may be extended art

Sculptures by Pamela Hill Enticknap line one of the walls in GraySpace.

Continued from Page A1 art instructor and collections manager of the Westmont Museum of Art. For a larger investment, the show features a few custom-made rugs designed by Charlene Broudy. The large, textural pieces have vibrant colors and designs indicative of renowned artists like Picasso. They stand out hung on the stark white walls of the gallery. Ms. Hoag relaunched her website in the spring, hoping to provide a way for people to safely see the art, but she said it’s not like viewing the pieces in person. She hasn’t had nearly as many people circulate through the gallery since the original shutdown in March, but the customers that come in are more intentional. “I think people are home, and they’re looking at their four walls,” Ms. Hoag said. “Given the number of people that have come to the gallery, our sales per capita, we’ve done really well. So people are looking to change their atmosphere.” When the gallery reopened and launched a show in May, around 40 customers visited the first day, all dressed up like it was an event. “It made it feel like it was fun to just even have 40 people on the opening of the show, that it was an occasion,” she said. “It’s something to look forward to now. Normally people are always in their pajamas practically and got to go back to the sofa when they go home.” The “Magic of the Holidays” show sold well on its first weekend. But last weekend, few people visited the gallery, perhaps in anticipation of the stay-at-home order that went into effect Monday. (Under the order, retail businesses can remain open but must be at no more than 20 percent of capacity.) “I think people are looking to support local businesses right now,” Ms. Hoag said. “So we’re hoping for the next couple of weeks to be good.” The show is set to run until Dec. 22, but she may expand it into January. The gallery will be open for walk-ins on the weekends and by appointment during the week. Ms. Hoag planned the current exhibition after the Funk Zone stopped its bimonthly art walks. She wanted a way for artists to present their work, even if the regular events were canceled. “Artists don’t stop working, so we have to

Barbara County Planning and Development Department, Southern California Edison did extensive work to improve the safety and stability of the area. Additionally, it is working with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the County Planning and Development Department to repair damage to Mission Canyon and Mission Creek. The county said Southern California Edison pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor violation of California Water Code section 13387(b) for discharging a pollutant into Mission Creek. Any future violations of this code section can be charged as a felony, the county noted. Southern California Edison will also pay a $10,000 criminal fine to the State Water Quality Control Board for deposit in the State Water Pollution Cleanup and Abatement Account. The county reported that Southern California Edison also admitted civil liability to several violations of the California Fish and Game Code and the California Business and Professions Code. As part of the civil judgment, Southern California Edison must continue working with regulators on repairs to Mission

Canyon, the county said. As part of the settlement, Southern California Edison will pay a $3.5 million civil penalty, $875,000 of which is devoted to funding supplemental environmental projects in the community. Some of the projects include maintaining the Jesusita and Tunnel trails, revegetating Mission Canyon and Mission Creek with native plants, researching and monitoring the health of Mission Creek, and funding efforts to clean Santa Barbara’s front country trails and creeks. Of the remaining penalty money, $1,312,500 will be paid to Santa Barbara County; $656,250 to state Fish & Wildlife for deposit in the Fish and Game Preservation Fund; and $656,250 to the county’s Fish and Wildlife Propagation Fund. Under the agreement, Southern California Edison will also reimburse the Santa Barbara District Attorney’s Office for $25,000 and state Fish & Wildlife for $15,000 for investigation and prosecution costs. The case was handled by Deputy District Attorneys Morgan Lucas and Christopher Dalbey and was supervised by Senior Deputy District Attorney Brian Cota. The case numbers are 20CR08284 and 20CV04002. email: dmason@newspress.com

Ms. Hoag has finished a lot of paintings during the pandemic, using the extra free time to enjoy her studio. “I have so many neighbors out taking a walk that say, ‘Oh, I can’t wait for this to be over.
