A second chance Gauchos get another shot at their senior season
he Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors unanimously voted Tuesday to send a letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom, requesting he make special considerations for the county in meeting the requirements for the second half of Phase 2 reopening. The special considerations are related to the large number of COVID-19 cases in the Federal Correctional Institution in Lompoc. As stated in the agenda for Tuesday’s meeting, the board will request that the governor exclude the prison’s caseload from that of the greater county. Recent additions to Santa Barbara County’s number of coronavirus infections are mostly due to a large amount of new cases at the correctional facility. A recent press release from the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department stated that of the 54 new COVID-19 cases reported in the county on Monday, 40 of them were at the prison. On Tuesday, the department reported 10 new cases, three of which were at the prison. The hope is that excluding the prison’s cases will prevent that outbreak from delaying economic recovery for the rest of

ollege senior athletes face a different set of pomp and circumstances this graduation year: To return or not return? That is the question now dogging several of UCSB’s top athletes. The NCAA recently offered an extra year of eligibility to seniors who had their spring seasons halted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The decision to leave or stay could make a huge difference for several Gaucho teams that were on the

verge of national success this year. MEN’S VOLLEYBALL: No team had grander senior moments this year than coach Rick McLaughlin’s Gauchos. They had soared to a No. 3 national ranking with a 14-2 record when their season was cut short on March 12. Four of McLaughlin’s eight seniors received All-America honors: First-team setter Casey McGarry, second-team opposite hitter Randy DeWeese and middle Keenan Sanders, and honorable mention outside hitter Roy McFarland. “They really worked their butts off for four years,” McLaughlin
said. All four have indicated a desire to return next season. McLaughlin, however, has seven freshman recruits arriving next fall, creating a dilemma with roster size and scholarship limits. “I’m waiting to hear more from the administration regarding all of these questions,” he said. “I think both the Big West and each university are still trying to sort it out. I do know that retaining seniors won’t be easy, budget-wise, for any of the schools.” BASEBALL: The Gauchos appeared equipped to repeat their College World Series run of 2016,
winning eight straight games to improve to 13-2 when the season was ended. They ranked No. 17 in the NCAA’s official Ratings Percentage Index. Their only two seniors were key players. Shortstop McClain O’Connor batted .325 as a junior, and he was tops in runs scored (15) and second in RBIs (12) this season. Dand had a team-best two saves in five relief appearances with an earned run average of 1.23. Both were expecting to be selected in the June 10 Amateur Please see UCSB on A8

SB City Council ties eviction ordinance to Newsom’s stayat-home order By CHRISTIAN WHITTLE

the county. Board Chair and Second District Supervisor Gregg Hart told the News-Press that even discounting the prison, the number of coronavirus cases in Santa Barbara County still exceeds the reopening requirement of having no more than one case per 100,000 residents for the past 14 days. When counting the prison’s numbers, however, Mr. Hart remarked that it “just blows us out of the water.” Additionally, Mr. Hart and his colleagues intend on negotiating with the governor to ease the reopening requirement of having no COVID-19 deaths in the past 14 days, as this hasn’t happened once throughout the pandemic. “Both of those criteria won’t work for us, and we want the governor to consider that,” Mr. Hart told the News-Press. Many other elected officials representing Santa Barbara are on board with considering the Federal Correctional Institution’s outbreak as separate from cases in the wider county. Mayor Cathy Murillo spoke to the News-Press about a letter she wrote on behalf of the city’s business community to Santa Barbara County Public Health Department director Van Do-Reynoso. The letter expressed the concerns of local stakeholders to be relayed by the
he Santa Barbara City Council made several amendments to its Temporary Eviction Moratorium Ordinance Tuesday, adding a provision to extend the moratorium if state stay-at-home orders remain in place and setting terms for repayment of deferred rents from April and May. In a unanimous vote, the council has made the moratorium concurrent with Gov. Gavin Newsom’s executive order which suspended state law preempting local power to regulate evictions. If Gov. Newsom chooses to extend his executive order beyond May 31, Santa Barbara’s eviction moratorium would remain in effect. The council also created a minimum and maximum payback period for deferred rents of six and 12 months. Landlords and tenants may negotiate shorter payback terms if they wish, with payments planned monthly and in equal amounts.
Tenants and landlords will have the opportunity to mediate from the city if requested by either party. On March 24, the council unanimously enacted the Temporary Eviction Moratorium Ordinance as an emergency measure. The ordinance prevents eviction of commercial and residential tenants through May 31, with the requirement that on or before April 21, any tenant who wishes to take advantage to provide a detailed written notice to their property owner demonstrating their inability to make rent payments due to COVID-19. The council and city staff deemed the moratorium necessary as the city’s economy has been massively disrupted, causing many businesses to close and workers to lose their jobs. “We know that many tenants have or will be experiencing dramatic reductions to their income as a result of COVID-19. Evictions resulting from that, certainly on the residential side, are going to cause sick people to be on Please see EVICTIONS on A2

SANTA BARBARA —The city of Santa Barbara recognized its Fleet Management personnel on Tuesday. The Fleet Management department builds, maintains and repairs the city’s public safety vehicles including fire engines and police cars. “Our mechanics maintain emergency vehicles in a constant state of readiness so emergency personnel can continue to provide critical services,� a city press release read. “One of the ways Fleet is doing this during the COVID-19 outbreak is by working in two shifts Monday – Saturday. This not only provides support to critical operations but also utilizes appropriate social distancing guidelines,� the release read. Fleet Management personnel also retire outdated vehicles. The city’s newest fire truck will go into service next month.

“I think we’re all going to learn from this, (the COVID-19 pandemic), and we’re going to be dramatically better prepared the next time this happens,” said Dr. Paul Webber, director of the Emergency Department at Marian Regional Medical Center. At right, Dr. Paul Webber credits his naval experience for helping him in planning his hospital’s response to the COVID19 pandemic. At far right, Marian Regional Medical Center has an Emergency Department staff of 18 physicians, eight advanced practice providers (nurse practitioners and physician assistants) and many nurses.
mergency room physician Paul Webber’s naval experience helped to prepare him for the war on COVID-19. “I think the Navy teaches you to be mission-oriented. The Navy teaches you to think strategically and act tactically,” Dr. Webber told the News-Press recently by phone from Marian Regional Medical Center. He is the director of the Emergency Department at the Santa Maria hospital, which is part of Dignity Health. “What I saw, what I did and how I was trained probably helped me with what we’re seeing with this pandemic simply in terms of preparations, setting up communications, setting up strike teams, and situating the ER into safe zones and normal zones,” Dr. Webber said. He said his staff of 18 physicians, eight advanced practice providers (nurse practitioners and physician assistants) and many nurses are doing well in dealing with the pandemic. “Our ICU (Intensive Care Unit) team has done an exceptional job with these very sick COVID patients,” he said. Dr. Webber said Marian’s response to the pandemic is similar to that of the emergency departments at other hospitals throughout Santa Barbara County. “We essentially tried to establish areas where we could treat normal patients and also accommodate these new COVID19 patients,” he said. “The hardest part about this is the virus is invisible, and a lot of people are asymptomatic,” Dr. Webber said. “We didn’t really know without testing as to what the real risk was for transmission. We had to be quite decisive and innovative as to how to put these people into an area where we wouldn’t be transmitting the virus from person to person.” Dr. Webber said Marian Regional Medical Center was fortunate in that its 40-bed Emergency Department sits next to an empty, interior construction zone for future expansion. Dr. Webber and his staff converted the construction zone into an area to screen people who had COVID-19 symptoms but were able to go home. “We can accommodate probably 20 patients back there.” He added that the ER itself was divided with temporary barrier walls to reduce the risk of transmission.

Continued from Page A3 “We were proactive. We erected a triage tent in front of the hospital,” Dr. Webber said, explaining that patients with COVID-19 symptoms enter through a separate entrance than the Emergency Department’s main lobby. Dr. Webber, who is a Lockport, N.Y., native, served from 1986 to 1997 in the Navy. That includes his time at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., where he earned his bachelor’s in engineering and English literature in 1990. “After the Naval Academy, I went to Key West and was involved in counternarcotics operations,” Dr. Webber said. “And after three years of that, I went into diving operations for the Navy.” Dr. Webber also served as

a Navy officer attached to the Marine Corps for supporting arms and parachuting operations. “The actual company was ANGLICO — the Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company.” After he left the Navy, Dr. Webber studied at Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans. During that time, he did some disaster relief work in Honduras during Hurricane Mitch (1997-1998). As a medical student, Dr. Webber also was involved in opening a clinic in the early 2000s in Kenya. Dr. Webber earned his medical and public health degrees in 2001 at the Tulane school.
The medical school is where Dr. Webber met Dr. Brett Wilson, who’s now an Emergency Department physician at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. Dr. Webber, who did his residency from 2001 to 2005 at Charity Hospital in New Orleans, praised Gov. Gavin Newsom’s response to the COVID19 pandemic with his early shelterin-place order. “We’re not seeing the same surges that we saw in Europe and the East Coast,” Dr. Webber said. He also praised health care providers, the community and governmental officials for working together to meet the challenges posed by the pandemic. “I think we’re all going to learn from this, and we’re going to be dramatically better prepared the next time this happens.” Email: dmason@newspress.com
Helping the arts Commission, foundations launch COVID-19 Relief Grant Program By CHRISTIAN WHITTLE NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
T
he coronavirus pandemic hit the local economy hard. It forced not only businesses all over Santa Barbara County to close down but also caused nonprofits, museums, and other arts and culture organizations to cease operations. The county boasts the highest number of arts and culture nonprofits per capita in the state, and many of those organizations are at risk of shutting down for good. In response to the pandemic, the Santa Barbara County Arts Commission, the Santa Barbara Foundation and the Santa Barbara Bowl Foundation have created the new COVID-19 Relief Grant Program for arts and culture nonprofits. Through the partnership, the Santa Barbara Foundation and the Arts Commission are able to distribute funding to organizations who lack resources and don’t have the capacity to meet the criteria for the foundation’s other grants. “Through our grant program that we offer specifically only for the performing arts organizations, we knew that we weren’t going to be able to support arts organizations that did not fall under the performing arts criteria that we offered through that cycle,” said Jessica Sanchez, the Santa Barbara Foundation’s director of donor services. “In order for us to spread a least a little of those dollars to arts and culture organizations that would not qualify through our
S
current grant cycle, we felt it was an important piece for us to be able to partner with the Arts and Culture Commission and really try to extend those dollars.” Money was raised through the Santa Barbara Bowl Foundation’s lease agreement where 50 cents from every ticket sold goes into a fund for arts and culture grants, a $25,000 contribution from the Santa Barbara Foundation, as well as contributions by the Santa Maria Arts Council and private donors. As a result, the COVID-19 Relief Grant Program will distribute $75,000 to local arts and culture nonprofits over two cycles. Nonprofits can apply for the grants at sbac.ca.gov/countygrants. Submissions are due by May 24. The County Office of Arts and Culture will host an online grant workshop for interested applicants at 3 p.m. today. Because the organizations in the county are so diverse, the Arts Commission and Foundation wanted to make the criteria as broad as possible. “The guidelines are: groups that are nonprofits with budgets under $1 million who are working to produce, preserve, or promote arts and culture in the county. We’d leave it up to the applicants to define the ways they do that,” said Sarah York Rubin, executive director of Santa Barbara County Office of Arts & Culture. One of the things the Santa Barbara Foundation and Arts Commission will be striving for through the competitive grant process will be high equity and access, said Ms. Rubin. “One of the questions on
the application that I think is important is asking the group to define the community they serve and why that service is critical. I think a lot of arts and culture organizations will hopefully have the opportunity to tell their stories through this process in a more public way,” said Ms. Rubin. Funding will be distributed on a case-by-case basis determined by a panel with representatives from the three collaborating organizations and one from each county district. Applicants can receive between $2,500 to $10,000. “If there’s this huge volume (of applicants) that’s certainly something we would share with the other funders and foundations to see if we can get additional support or look forward. We’re hoping that as many people that are eligible apply and that there’s really that broad lense for producers of culture,” said Ms. Rubin. The ultimate goal for the program is to support small community-driven arts and culture organizations during the coronavirus pandemic so they can keep their doors open and continue their work to benefit the Santa Barbara County community, Ms. Sanchez told the News-Press. “We definitely don’t want them to have to close their doors due to the pandemic. We want to offer that support so we can get them to that place where they’ll be somewhat stable and be able to continue their work in the future,” said Ms. Sanchez.

or family, but how do you handle questions like “Why don’t you have a baby yet?” and “When are you giving me grandkids?” The older we get, the more pointed these questions become. I don’t know how to respond. What should I say? I feel like either lying and saying I’m not ready yet, or telling the truth about the possibility of never having children, although I’m sure the questioner doesn’t intend to go down the path of “Let’s discuss my fertility.” — Struggling in West Virginia Dear Struggling: I’m sure many of the questioners have no idea they are delving into a subject that is painful and frustrating for you. Perhaps the most diplomatic answer would be to say, “If I’m lucky enough to be expecting, I will let you know.” It shows you are open to the possibility, and it’s either going to happen or it won’t.

Daily Bridge Club
Since 1981 I’ve written a monthly column for the ACBL’s magazine. Many have been “over-my-shoulder� style. You listen in on my thoughts during a deal. Ninety of the best of these appear in “Play Bridge With Me,� my 23rd book, just published. The deals are intermediate level; the focus is on logical thinking. At today’s four spades, I win the first heart in dummy and lead a diamond. I can’t risk losing an early trump finesse; I need a quick pitch for my heart loser. East wins the second diamond and returns a heart, and I win to discard dummy’s last heart on my high diamond. When I finesse in trumps, East wins and exits with a trump.

ARIES — Today’s planetary energy should compel you to commit whatever acts of selfaffirmation are needed to define your territory and protect your rights. You’ll be encouraged to explore your desires and personal tastes, and to express your opinion openly and clearly. Everyone has an identity to claim! Don’t be bashful about owning yours now. TAURUS — Today your brain is supercharged, Taurus. If you’ve been thinking about doing some writing or have put off analyzing an especially tricky problem, this is your moment to get started. You’ll find all the inspiration you could ever need. And don’t worry about shocking the people in your business or home life with your directness and assertiveness. They’ll appreciate your valuable ideas and ask why you didn’t speak up sooner. GEMINI — With today’s planetary energy, you’ll find yourself a little more extraverted than usual, Gemini. You’ll finally be able to say what you really think about things. This is an important change for you, because you’ll find that expressing your ideas and beliefs will be a great help in reaching all your goals in life. CANCER — Today you’re unstoppable! You’re a very hard worker by nature, and the current planetary alignment will push you to accomplish even more than usual. You have an abundance of energy, more than enough to handle everything that comes your way. You also have an abundance of good judgment, so be sure to use it. Rash decisions, especially those concerning your personal life, could lead to regret later. LEO — Discard those items from the past for which you no longer have any real use. As much as you like to surround yourself with objects of sentimental value, there comes a moment when it’s necessary to look to the future rather than dwell on the past. The time spent cleaning your home and throwing out extraneous things will release you from what has been and allow you to embrace what’s to come. VIRGO — Intimacy will be in the air over the next few days. Loved ones want to spend more time with you, and you’ll want to invite friends over every night. Social distancing might not make that possible, but there are many other ways to reach out. Some of these wonderful discussions will recharge you and could lead to great things. However, be ready for a bit of tension in case not everyone +*#!2 +1$)"$agrees with your point of view. LIBRA — Feeling adventurous,
Libra? You’re often motivated by your idealistic expectations, and today’s planetary configurations will push you even further on your spiritual quest. Satisfy your desire to discover new horizons and meet new people by saying hello to anyone you want, whether electronically or shouting masked from six feet away. Sometimes life’s biggest adventures begin with a simple, safe action. SCORPIO — The celestial energy signals a pleasant change for you today, Scorpio. Finally, the overpowering emotions that have been surging from your relationships will subside. You are now beginning a more contemplative phase. You may feel as if you’re about to depart on a long trip, with all the time in the world to meditate on the events of the past few months. Sheltering in the calm oasis of home, you can go anywhere. SAGITTARIUS — This is a day to devote time and thought to spiritual pursuits, Sagittarius. Do something inspirational that instills a soul-deep sense of wonder. Light a candle as if you were in church, sit outdoors and watch the changing sky, or study a painting at a museum website. Meditate on your concept of spirituality and the interconnection of humans and the planet. Savor our global connection during this pandemic. CAPRICORN — A new phase in your life is beginning, Capricorn. The previous phase could be interpreted as having taught you to be serious and devoted to professional responsibilities. And you certainly accomplished some good deeds to boot. Now you can relax and look ahead to what’s next. Let yourself feel the welcome tug of the future. We’ll need your positive vision and leadership once we all emerge from our quarantine. AQUARIUS — Today’s aspects might clear up some rather sketchy ideas about your professional future, Aquarius. If you long for a change, such as daring to undertake a more artistic pursuit, now is the time to begin planning exactly how to go about it. The first step is to figure out how you can make a living from it. Welcome back to what passes for reality these days! PISCES — You have acquired some sound confidence in yourself, Pisces.

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.

New Big West commissioner enters uncharted territory during pandemic By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER
D
an Butterly may be filling Dennis Farrell’s shoes as commissioner of the Big West Conference, but they feel more like those of Lewis & Clark. He knows how those American explorers must’ve felt when they entered the Great Unknown of their own Big West. The coronavirus has laid an uncertain path for the new leader of a league that includes UCSB and 10 other schools. Butterly will become the fifth commissioner in the Big West’s 51-year history on June 1. “It’s just an unfortunate time that we’re in with this pandemic,” he said. Butterly, who’s worked for the Mountain West Conference for the last 21 years, must deal with an ever-changing athletic landscape when he takes the Big West reins. He can’t even guarantee that the conference will sponsor a fall season because of the COVID-19 crisis. “A lot of it is out of our control,” he said. “If this pandemic continues and if it spreads to a second wave or a stronger wave as states start to open… that’s really going to determine what the future is going to be in the next academic year. “Commissioner Farrell is dealing with that, day in and day out right now. As I start to ramp up and he starts to ramp down, we’re going to have those active discussions, working with the presidents and the chancellors of the Big West Conference.” UCSB is considering a “hybrid” reopening of its campus next fall with a combination of both on-campus and online courses. Among the proposals is a reduction of the number of students allowed in each dorm room. The success of such plans could determine the fate of a fall sports season which includes UCSB as host to the College Cup — the Final Four of NCAA men’s soccer — on Dec. 11 and 13. “You can’t be playing sports if your students aren’t back on campus,” Butterly said. “It really is a national issue that may be out of the control of individual conferences because it may very well be dictated by federal and state governments than it would be by college athletics in general.” He would be in favor of playing games without fans, if necessary, while broadcasting them on Big West TV. “I don’t know where each campus stands in being able to broadcast their own games but, absolutely, that’s something I want to look at,” he said. “Even if it’s a one- or two-camera shoot to be able to make those available to parents back home, to the fans of those specific sports

at those specific campuses, that’s exactly what we need to look to do. “I believe that’s going to have to be done in some form or fashion.” Farrell, who’s worked for the Big West for 40 years which include 28 as its commissioner, will help ease Butterly’s transition by remaining on board at the league’s Irvine office until July 1. “College athletics and sports in general will be at a reset,” Butterly said. “Being in a position that we can look at our branding not only nationally but also in how we’re perceived throughout the region and with our crowds and fan base — those are the things that I really want to learn right away.” The pandemic forced Farrell’s hand even beyond the cancellation of the Big West’s spring sports season in early March. He also eliminated a rule which restricts the league’s basketball teams from scheduling more than two non-Division 1 opponents for next season. UCSB is one of several schools that have limited their team’s scheduling options for next year by prohibiting out-of-state travel for nonconference games. Ironically, increasing the strength of nonconference schedules was one of the ways Butterly had hoped to improve the Big West’s
No. 20 ranking among the 32 conferences that play NCAA Division 1 men’s basketball. He helped the Mountain West boost its own rating from No. 16 in 2018-19 to No. 10 this year while serving as that league’s primary sport and championship administrator. “I look at it as the Three Musketeers analogy: All for one and one for all,” he said. “You’ve got to work collectively to boost the profile… It doesn’t help if you have a team ranked in the top 50, in the top 75, if the rest of the league is ranking 200 and below. “What you ultimately have to do is get the coaches to understand scheduling and boost their net rankings now to be in a position where once you get out of nonconference play, you’re not lowering your best team’s net ranking.” One of Butterly’s priorities for the conference is to get more than just its automatic bid to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. The Big West hasn’t gotten two bids since both Pacific and Utah State made it to March Madness in 2005. Conference teams have won only five NCAA Tournament games in the last 20 years: UC Irvine last year, Hawaii in 2016, Pacific in both 2005 and 2004, and Utah State in 2001. “The goal in the next five years, 10 years, is to not only get a team in the NCAA Tournament, but one that can advance in the NCAA Tournament,” he said. “The next phase would be having two teams in the NCAA Tournament, and have them advance on the men’s basketball side. “Obviously, this is a great conference when it comes to men’s volleyball, women’s volleyball, baseball. The competitiveness is already there in those sports. As they say, you want all boats to rise with the tide, that’s exactly what we need to do with the other sports in the Big West… schedule smart, win the games that we’re scheduling and get more notoriety with those NCAA Tournament bids.” Improving the Big West’s television exposure is a big part of his plan. UCSB was one of three Big West teams to receive NCAA Tournament bids in 1990 when the conference was part of ESPN’s Big Monday coverage. The league’s exposure on the all-sports network has diminished greatly in the 30 years since then. “I know we’ve got at least another year or so on those ESPN agreements,” Butterly said. “Those are things that I really want to dive into right away.” He also hopes to get more TV exposure for “the other national championship-caliber sports that we have in the Big West with men’s and women’s volleyball, baseball, water polo, and some of the other sports.” email: mpatton@newspress.com
‘Having one of the greatest players in UCSB history coming back is exciting for us’ UCSB
Continued from Page A1 Draft, but that was when it was set for 40 rounds. Major League Baseball has since reduced it to just five as a way to save costs. “And now undrafted players can’t be signed for more than $20,000, so there’s less incentive to sign,” Checketts said. “For our part, we’ve given McClain the option to come back with the same scholarship.” Dand, he added, may be less inclined to delay his pro entry since he will turn 23 in September. “McClain is a year younger and so it makes more sense for him to return,” Checketts said. “He still has some schooling left and Dand is going to graduate, although Conner is applying to a master’s program on campus and he’s a good student. We’ll have to see what his options are.” SOFTBALL: Felisha Noriega, the ace of UCSB’s pitching staff the last few years, has already announced her return to school. “Felisha was going to step into her family’s business but has arranged with her parents to be able to play again next season,” coach Brie Galicinao said. “She was just getting back into the groove after coming back from an injury … The last three games she threw this spring were some of the best I’ve seen her pitch.” Noriega, a left-hander, was leading the Gauchos this year in every pitching category including wins (5-4 record), strikeouts (40) and ERA (2.38). Fellow seniors Kayla Krantz and Devan Sperry are moving on. Sierra Altmeyer, a three-time All-Big West infielder, “could possibly return if it works academically since she’d be going into her sixth year after medically redshirting last season.” Altmeyer would’ve broken several of UCSB’s career batting records if she had gotten a full season this year. She is just five short of Kendra Wood’s RBI record (130 set in 19972000) and three shy of Keilani Jennings’ home run record (31 set in 2009-13). Altmeyer’s career batting average of .330 ranks fifth alltime at UCSB. “Sierra is an impact player both in her performance and leadership,” Galicinao said. “It would be significant for our team if she were to play again next season.”

Volleyball player Casey McGarry said he would like to return for another season.
WOMEN’S WATER POLO: Coach Serela Kay is in the same situation as volleyball’s McLaughlin, with three veteran seniors — Sarah Snyder, Kate Coski, and goalkeeper Kenzi Snyder — having led her team to a No. 8 national ranking and a 12-8 record. All three are still considering their options. “They’re all impact players,” she said. Sarah Snyder has scored 197 goals in her career, just 16 shy of the school record set by Kelley Tiffany in 2002. Kenzi Snyder’s 682 career saves ranks third all-time. Coski, a former San Marcos High star, has 52 career goals. “Sarah is our Big West Female ScholarAthlete of the Year, and she plans to go to law school, so she’s looking at all those factors right now,” Kay said. “Kenzi and Kate are on the fence, too. I’d love to have them all back.” TENNIS: Both the men’s and women’s teams were led by seniors this spring. The best news for men’s coach Marty Davis is that his No. 1 player, Joseph Guillin, is opting for another senior year. His singles championship at the Southwest Regionals was a Gaucho first, and he was
ranked as high as No. 8 nationally before winding up at 26th by the season’s shortened end. “Having one of the greatest players in UCSB history coming back is exciting for us,” Davis said. “We’ll have one of the strongest and deepest teams in my tenure. Joseph will use the extra academic year to earn a minor degree in addition to his Global Studies major.” He anticipates that most of his fifth-year scholarship will be covered by an “NCAA fund … The remainder will come from our fundraised money ... The fact that we’ve been the winningest team at UCSB over the last decade is a direct result of our awesome donors and supporters.” No. 2 player Victor Krustev, a junior who was expected to move on after this season, is also planning to return “for another junior season,” Davis added. “It required some juggling of his academic plan and he is taking this spring quarter off as a result,” he said. The women’s team had three seniors in its starting lineup including No. 1 player Amit Lev-Ari of Israel. None, however, are planning to return. “It would help if they had returned but they couldn’t for different reasons,” coach Simon Thibodeau said. MEN’S GOLF: Senior Brett Bennett, who consistently scored highest among the Gauchos this year, is one of three seniors planning to return for another year, coach Steve Lass said. “Brett would have turned pro this summer,” he noted, “but as a late bloomer to the game, the opportunity to compete collegiately for another year was a slam dunk yes. “Next year was going to be a rebuilding year, one in which I really wasn’t looking forward to from a team performance standpoint. Now my top two players are probably returning, as well as two other starters, so it should be a smoother transition than I previously expected.” Their return, however, may make it difficult for several “non-scholarship” recruits to make the team next year. “My overall opinion of the NCAA waiver rule is that it should have been more sport specific, which unfortunately is not something the NCAA likes to do,” Lass said. email: mpatton@newspress.com

Goleta assists homeless population
T
he city of Goleta is working with local agencies to help homeless residents during the COVID-19
pandemic. The city is partnering with New Beginnings Counseling Center’s Safe Parking and Rapid Rehousing Program to provide parking lots for people living in their vehicles and needing to shelter in place. “While there is still much work to be done to ensure the health and safety of Goleta’s houseless residents and the community at large, the city is committed to doing what it can to support the well-being of all its residents,” Goleta Mayor Paula Perotte said. Monitored parking lots allow participants to remain in a consistent location both day and
night during the stay-at-home order and access restrooms and handwashing stations. In addition, the city is providing access to drinking water, charging stations and wi-fi. Also, the city has partnered with the Goleta Union School District, Goleta Valley Community Center, United Boys and Girls Clubs at the Goleta Club and the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County to provide food distribution with community members via drive-thru and walk-up service to all who are in need, no questions asked. And the city is working with Santa Barbara County to find hotel/motel partners willing to provide rooms to people at highrisk of contracting COVID-19. — Jorge Mercado
