Senate candidates speak out Monique Limón cites COVID-19 as immediate priority

Editor’s note: These are more articles in this week’s News-Press series on local candidates in the Nov. 3 election. On Thursday, the series will feature stories on the races for the Santa Barbara County Board of Education and the Carpinteria Unified School District board. By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Elected to the State Assembly in 2016, 37th District Assemblywoman Monique Limón believes the past four years have prepared her well for serving in the California Legislature’s upper house. She is running as a Democrat for state Senate District 19 against Republican Gary Michaels.

Given the health and economic impacts that have come from the COVID-19 pandemic, Ms. Limón told the News-Press that responding to the effects of the pandemic will be among her first orders of business if elected in November. “We need to ensure Californians are safe from the virus and they have access to necessary Please see LIMóN on A6

Should Republican candidate Gary Michaels win the election for state Senate District 19 against Assemblywoman Monique Limón next month, his first order of business will be addressing the pressing issue of homelessness, as the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic are expected to add to the homeless population. “When you get into office, you respond to the immediate, very high-level problems,” Mr. Michaels told the News-Press. He said this would be done by providing “some rather immediate accommodations,” with possibilities including setting up more shelters and utilizing mobile home parks.

“We need to ensure Californians are safe from the virus (COVID-19) and they have access to necessary care,” state Senate candidate Monique Limón said.

Raytheon looking to hire

Long term, the Santa Maria resident wants to create more high-paying jobs in Senate District 19 to help fix the income inequality between Santa Maria and Santa Barbara. According to the Census website, Santa Maria’s per capita income between 2014 and 2018 was $19,647, far less than Santa Barbara’s $43,939. Mr. Michaels said a per capita income in the neighborhood of $19,000 is a sign that there aren’t enough high paying jobs in North County. From what he can tell, there’s great interest in the clean energy sector and jobs in that industry are exactly what can fix the income disparities in District 19. “We need to think about developing industries here,” he Please see michaels on A6

Raytheon Intelligence & Space has started to hire people to fill more than 100 positions.

Goleta company helps to decrease region’s unemployment By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

While most businesses have had to freeze hiring, Raytheon Intelligence & Space is doing quite the opposite. The Goleta company specializes in developing advanced sensors, training, and cyber and software solutions and employs around 1,400 people already, with 400plus engineering personnel. To help out employment in the region during the pandemic, Raytheon began hiring people for more than 100 positions in Southern California. The jobs range from cybersecurity to hardware and systems design to engineering. Since April 1, the company has had 152 Goleta hires — 87

professional, 65 college, 27 interns and 35 full-time graduates. The Goleta team is specifically focused on advanced tactical and surveillance radars, electronic warfare systems and space-based sensors. Currently there are still 60 positions open, according to Annabel Flores, the vice president of Electronic Warfare Systems at Raytheon Intelligence & Space. Of those, 43 must sit in Goleta and 17 have Goleta as an option, but it’s not required. “It’s been an adjustment, but hiring is still very much a key priority for our Goleta team,” she told the News-Press. “Our acquisition team has gotten very creative doing a lot more virtual events.” Please see RAYTHEON on A7

Gary Michaels, a Republican candidate for state Senate, said the North County area could benefit from jobs in the clean energy industry.

New amenities are coming to the State Street promenade. As an interim measure, the promenade will soon have large terracotta pots, iron-looking traffic delineators, a green bike path down the center and string lighting — all in an effort to create a more permanent look rather than a construction look. On Tuesday, the Santa Barbara City Council unanimously approved the authorization of no more than $250,000 to purchase delineators and lighting. Rob Dayton, the city’s transportation manager, said “interim” in this case most likely means two to three years. He added that the $250,000 is coming from a fund that would have originally gone toward redesigning the street, if it wasn’t for the pandemic. A big consideration for the staff and council was that of creating a pedestrian-friendly and cyclistfriendly street. The green bike path, according to staff, will channel bikers to the middle. “We want cyclists to take the responsibility for not hitting anyone,” Mr. Dayton said. “It’s the cyclist that has to figure it out and protect the pedestrian.” Mayor Pro Tempore Kristen Sneddon stated she was hesitant with the approval due to the fact that a survey from the public on the future of State Street will be returning to the city in a month’s time. “I’m not comfortable with moving into something that might be two to three years before we’re getting results back from the public,” she said. However, she said she supports the improvements. “We have no idea what’s happening a month or six months or a year from now anyhow,” council member Mike Jordan said. “There’s a clear reason to jump on this right now with two weeks and three days until Daylight Savings Time.” In other news, the council unanimously approved the Mobilehome Park Overlay Zone and related section map amendments, and will initiate code amendments to re-establish vacancy rent control. This will subsequently protect existing mobile home parks from

redevelopment to other uses. “We are in a housing crisis right now with affordability and mobile homes provide some stability, and many residents have lived there for decades,” council member Eric Friedman said. “We have an obligation and a duty to our community to protect what we already have.” Council member Meagan Harmon echoed the support of protecting mobile home parks. “It’s becoming more and more expensive, and prohibitively so, for many folks to either maintain residence in the park or move into one, so I think these are very important changes,” she said. “There’s this fundamental asymmetry where the park owner has quite a bit of leverage over its residents.” Mayor Cathy Murillo added, “I will do everything I can to protect their housing as it is.” Finally, the council unanimously denied Scott Wenz’s, with Cars Are Basic, appeal to deny the Olive Mill Roundabout Project. City staff found that the project maintains existing public/ coastal access, strives to resolve functional concerns, ensures safe and efficient connections to all modes, provides robust pedestrian and bicycle facilities, is sensitive to historic structures, uses materials appropriate for the Santa Barbara region and the design is accommodated within the existing right-of-way. In response to the appeal, staff found that roundabouts do not increase vehicle miles traveled per the State Office of Planning guidelines and reduced delay/ idling results in reduced energy consumption. In addition, they found the project would minimize vehicle miles traveled due to no roadway expansion, improvement to an existing intersection, narrowed travel lanes to slow traffic and improvement to pedestrian and bicycle facilities. “I thank Mr. Becker and Mr. Wenz for the watchdog work that they do on these issues,” said Mayor Murillo. “I appreciated his argumentation, but I am persuaded that the appeal issues have been addressed.” email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Newlywed winners

Ms. Yan and Mr. Yim celebrate with friends at the winery.

San Diego couple celebrate at Zaca Mesa Winery By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Annie Yan and Kevin Yim, who met as freshmen at UCSB and now live in San Diego, are the winners of the “I Do, Redo” contest sponsored by Zaca Mesa Winery & Vineyard for couples whose wedding plans went awry because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The happy newlyweds celebrated with four friends in gala style on Oct. 7 with a dinner at the winery followed by a twonight stay for the couple at The Winston hotel in Solvang. “The I Do Redo experience was great because we were able to see our close friends and have a minicelebration at one of our favorite wineries. It was a little preview of what’s to come when we have our full ceremony with our friends and family in the future. We are super thankful to Zaca Mesa for providing us this opportunity and great time!” said Ms. Yan, the court operations clerk at San Diego Superior Court. Her husband is the technical account manager at Yardi. In the letter they submitted explaining their COVID-19 wedding story, along with a photo from their pandemic-era wedding, the couple wrote that they planned to be married Aug. 1 in Santa Barbara. “When the pandemic first began in March, we weren’t too concerned about our wedding date. However, as the summer crept up, we started to realize that maybe our original plan for Aug. 1 was not going to be feasible. After a few tearful days and nights and conversations with our wedding planner, we decided, for the safety of our family, friends and vendors, to reschedule our wedding for 2021. “Although we would have to wait to go forward with our original plans, we still wanted to officially get married in 2020. So on Aug. 7, we headed to the Santa Barbara courthouse with our best friend as our witness and tied the knot. It was a beautifully intimate and personal experience that we are so glad to have.

“After the civil ceremony, we headed to the Rose Garden at the Mission to have a socially distant picnic celebration with some close friends. It was so great to be able to see their faces after such a long time of quarantining and to be able to celebrate something. “Unfortunately, our families were not able to be there because of the court’s limit of just one witness and travel restrictions. However, we are still looking forward to having a big celebration with all our loved ones once the pandemic is over. While we are disappointed we weren’t able to have our original wedding on Aug. 1, we are so grateful to have been able to get married. And on the bright side, we get two weddings now! “We hope to be able to have this ‘I Do, Redo’ celebration at Zaca Mesa. The Zaca Mesa Syrah is our favorite go-to wine, and we love sharing bottles of it with our friends! Of course, the other wines are delicious as well, but we are never without a bottle of the Syrah in our home.” The couple revealed that they first met at UCSB’s freshman orientation when Annie was walking with her friends to a presentation, and they ran into Kevin, who was walking to the same presentation. They made their introductions and decided to all walk to the presentation together. After spending the rest of the evening together exploring the college town, the two parted ways, thinking they’d probably never meet again. However, as Annie was moving into her dorm room on move-in day, Kevin walked by, and the two recognized each other from orientation. They happened to be living just two doors apart on the same floor! Kevin and Annie quickly became friends again and shared a lot of the same classes that year, so they were seeing a lot of each other (whether they wanted to or not). It wasn’t until the very end of the school year that they realized Please see I DO, REDO on A4

Lacey Fussel, spokesperson for the winery, said that Zaca Mesa received “many wonderful submission letters, and it was a very difficult decision” to choose the winners. As consolation prizes, however, each couple who entered the contest received a bottle of wine with an attached card in each package plus a handwritten note that read: “Thank you so much for entering our ‘I Do, Redo’ contest! To keep the love going, we want to invite you and four guests to our winery for a special wine

tasting in our brand-new View Room and Club Lounge & Terrace. “Your wine tasting will include: • A flight of our Estate wines for each guest. • A COVID-19 safe tour of our winery. • 15% off any wine purchases made on the day of your visit. • A special Zaca Mesa gift for the newlyweds. • A discounted stay at the Vinland Hotel & Lounge in Solvang. “While we will not have a photographer on site, you and your guests are welcome to dress in wedding attire and take your own photos amidst Zaca Mesa’s century-old oaks, vineyards and rustic barn.” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

Rex Rex needs some tender loving care. The 2-year-old German shepherd is awaiting adoption at the Lompoc division of Santa Barbara County Animal Services. Rex is learning to walk on a leash and take treats nicely from the shelter staff, but would do best with a patient family with experience with German shepherds or touch-sensitive dogs. Now’s a good time to adopt Rex. All adoption fees at the Lompoc shelter are being sponsored through Thursday by Coldwell Banker Realty’s Lompoc office as part of its Home for Dogs campaign. Rex’s adoption fee includes his neutering

procedure, vaccinations, flea treatment, food sample and health/wellness exam. Rex’s microchip is compliments of CAPA, a nonprofit supporting the medical and behavioral needs of the animals at the Lompoc shelter, which is at 1501 W. Central Ave. Animal Services shelters are closed to walk-in traffic, but you can meet Rex or other animals by making an appointment by calling 805-737-7755. To see the pets, go to phshelter.com. For more information, go to www.facebook.com/ capaoflompoc. If you can’t adopt a pet but want to help, visit www. lompoccapa.org. — Dave Mason

Horoscope.com Wednesday, October 14, 2020

Aries — There is some likelihood that the mood at home is fraught with tension. Did you have some intellectual disagreement? In any case, it looks as though your self-confidence is stronger than ever right now. Go ahead and express any complaints or opinions you may have been keeping to yourself, Aries. But try and do it gently, especially where family is concerned. Taurus — It seems that your sensitivity is in slight conflict with your actions, Taurus. You continue to go through the daily motions and do what you planned on doing, but it seems as though your heart is no longer in it. Don’t ask why. It’s just that you’ve been working hard and thinking hard lately. You’ve reached your limit and it’s time to rest. Gemini — You may have been spending or saving too much money, Gemini. It’s clear that a rebalancing is in order if you’re to find pleasure rather than frustration. It’s a curious phenomenon, as though you’ve lost contact with your body. Yet it’s in your body where you will ultimately find your balance. You certainly won’t find it in your head! Cancer — Perhaps you’ve been impatiently waiting for the moment to jump into new adventures after your meditation during the last few months. Know that the moment has almost arrived! You now have the strategy, objective, and means at your disposal to succeed. Just a bit more work remains to be done. Gather your strength and get ready to act with renewed vigor. Leo — If you find yourself tired and irritable at the moment, Leo, you should know that this is normal. You may have had a few weeks that were a little too studious. Would you like to continue on the same path? Be careful that your ambitions don’t lead you to serious physical exhaustion, Leo. You’ll be even more frustrated if you get sick. So be wise and take care of your basic needs. Virgo — This is going to be a good moment to look elsewhere, Virgo. You should do just as the artist does when he has worked too long on a painting, which is to take a step back. You need to clear your head. GoNovember for a walk. Call mentor. Monday, 16, a2015 Text with an artist friend. Breaks are never easy for you, but do it

anyway. Afterwards you’ll think it was the best thing for you. Libra — This is the right moment to extricate yourself from relationships that have seen their day, Libra. This won’t be easy, but you must. In your professional and private lives, you’re too hesitant to get out of distasteful situations or obligations. You’re afraid of hurting people or making them mad. But in the end, you’re hurting yourself. Give more weight to your own needs and follow your own path. Scorpio — You took off like a bullet a few days ago, making great progress in a short amount of time. Now you’re grappling with doubts that are undermining all of your energy. Reflecting on the events of the past few days, it’s obvious that you were somewhat reckless in your headlong pursuit of your goals. Don’t give up, Scorpio. Rethink your strategy. Sagittarius — There is some likelihood that you will be haunted by thoughts of your love life today, Sagittarius. Perhaps you’re intrigued by the idea of exploring certain secret realms of your relationship, yet you aren’t sure how to communicate this to your mate. Perhaps you’re still testing the waters, waiting until you know how you feel. In any case, you might decide to proceed today. Capricorn — Today, more than ever, you will yearn to escape the daily routine, Capricorn. You thirst for new sights and sounds, new faces and new places, but you know you must juggle your desires with professional and domestic obligations. It isn’t always easy. Trust your imagination to find a way to settle this conflict. Aquarius — You’re finally on the mend, Aquarius. The minor ailments that may have dragged you down lately are beginning to disappear. You’re about to regain all of your physical energy. If you overindulge, your energy level is likely to plummet once again. If nothing else, you will have learned a valuable lesson about the importance of moderation, especially now. Don’t overdo it! Pisces — Do you feel a little under the weather today, Pisces? It’s quite possible, considering all the emotional turmoil you’ve been through lately. It takes time to recover from such storms. As you know, the work itself isn’t what gets you down. It’s worry about the future that drains your energy. Give yourself a break today. Take some time for rest and recuperation.

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.

LimĂłn worked to help area recover from Thomas Fire LIMĂłN

Continued from Page A1 care,â€? she said. “Our economy has suffered with millions of Californians facing unemployment due to businesses and workplaces closing. My office has assisted hundreds of constituents with their unemployment benefits since the beginning of the pandemic.â€? Also among her priorities will be wildfire and disaster prevention, which is something she has worked on during her tenure in the Assembly. Following the Thomas Fire, in 2018, Assemblywoman LimĂłn authored Assembly Bill 417 to expedite the process of reopening Vista Del Mar Hospital, an important mental health care provider that was damaged in the fire. The 2018-2019 budget she passed in collaboration with her colleagues included $12 million in funding to backfill property tax revenue losses that Ventura and Santa Barbara counties would incur due to the Thomas Fire. Additionally, she supported allocating additional funding to pre-position fire equipment in wildfire risk areas to reduce the magnitude of fires. Born and raised in Santa Barbara, Assemblywoman LimĂłn attended K-12 schools in the area and received a bachelor’s from UC Berkeley and a master’s from Columbia University. Before she was an assemblywoman, she spent much of her career in education, serving two terms on the Santa Barbara Unified School District board and as the assistant director of the McNair Scholars Program at UCSB, which prepares students

for doctoral programs. Prior to that, she was student program advisor for the California Student Opportunity and Access Program at Santa Barbara City College. The assemblywoman cited her ability to “build broad coalitions and support from Santa Barbara and Ventura countiesâ€? as an important skill that she will bring to the position of state senator. She said her ability to marshal bipartisan support is not just evident in legislation that she has authored, but also in her position with the California Legislative Women’s Caucus. “My colleagues elected me to serve as the Vice Chair of the California Legislative Women’s Caucus, where I work in a bipartisan and bicameral way to advance issues impacting women and families in our State,â€? she wrote in a statement. During her term in the Assembly, Assemblywoman LimĂłn has chaired the California Assembly banking and Finance Committee, as well as the Select Committee on the Nonprofit Sector. Assemblywoman LimĂłn remarked that she has a “strong trajectory of community involvementâ€? with local nonprofit organizations. Currently she serves as a board member of the McCune Foundation and in the past has been appointed as nonprofit director for Leading From Within, New Beginnings Counseling Center, the Community Engagement Committee for the Granada Theatre and as a Katherine Harvey Fellow for the Santa Barbara Foundation. email: jgrega@newspress.com

Michaels a strong supporter of charter schools michaels

said. While he shares Assemblywoman LimĂłn’s desire to help the environment, Mr. Michaels told the News-Press that he differs from his competitor because he has a willingness to meet with banking and financial stakeholders to make job creation in the clean energy sector happen. He explained that many lowincome individuals are not plugged into the modern digital economy, and that financial and banking stakeholders into the fold can provide the financing necessary to get them plugged in. The candidate said that while Ms. LimĂłn meets with housing and economic justice associations, she outright refuses to meet with private enterprise and won’t entertain the possibility of the public and private sector collaborating to fix income inequality. “A consistent issue with her is that when she doesn’t like certain groups of people, she won’t collaborate with them at all,â€? he said. On the issue of education, Mr. Michaels told the News-Press that he will be a strong supporter of charter schools including non-classroom-based options like home study, work study and computer-based programs. According to his website, distanced learning amid the pandemic isn’t going to cut it for kids who are struggling in the classroom anyway. “If you haven’t been doing well in the classroom, sending school to you via the internet is not a remedy.â€? Mr. Michaels told the News-

Press, “I like competition, and I think charter schools have done well in a lot of places including California.� Originally from Illinois, Mr. Michaels has lived in California since the 1980s, when he moved to Los Angeles and started a career in broadcasting and cable, doing creative marketing and production for companies like KMPC 710 Hollywood, owned by country singer Gene Autry, CBS’s San Francisco affiliate KPIX-TV and Univision’s KPMR in Santa Barbara County. Prior to arriving in California, he was a theater arts student at New England College Arundel in Sussex, England, before switching to New England College in Henniker, N.H., where he received a bachelor’s degree in business administration. While at NEC, he was president of the college Senate and worked on Ronald Reagan’s presidential campaign. Currently, he is the managing partner of Summa Solutions, which is an agency that helps businesses and individuals contract with fiber internet carriers, as well as its sister agency Summa E-rate Solutions, which helps schools come up with technology plans. Between managing his companies and running for state Senate, Mr. Michaels confessed that he currently doesn’t have too much of a life outside of these endeavors. However, when he did, he enjoyed going lifting weights at the gym, sailboat racing and playing tennis.

Annabelle Tiller, a senior at San Marcos High School, has accepted a scholarship offer to run track at the University of California next year.

San Marcos’ Tiller commits to run track at University of California By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Annabelle Tiller, whose promising junior season at San Marcos High was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic, received a boost to her senior year with a scholarship offer to run track at the University of California. The star hurdler said she will sign a national letter of intent with the Golden Bears during a ceremony at San Marcos on Nov. 11. “It’s nice to realize that the hard work is paying off,” said Tiller, who also competes for the Santa Barbara Track Club. “I’ve put in a lot of hours and dedicated a lot of time.” UCSB and Georgetown also offered scholarships to Tiller, but she chose Cal to pursue a pre-med curriculum. She has accumulated a grade-point average of 4.6 at San Marcos. She burst upon the track and field scene as a freshman when she finished second at the Channel League Championships in both the 400 meters and 300 hurdles, qualifying for the CIF Preliminaries in both events. As a sophomore, Tiller won the 400 and was second in the 300 hurdles at the Santa Barbara County Championships while qualifying again for CIF. Her junior season got off to a good start in February when she won the 300 hurdles at the Thousand Oaks Lancer Invitational with a time of 46.29. She won that same race on March 7 at the Don Green Invitational in Moorpark with a personal-best 46.11 and also set a PR in the 200 with a runner-up time of 25.46. The CIF State office, however,

shut down all high school sports the following week because of the coronavirus pandemic. Williams, Nepa named Scholar-Athletes

Tyler Williams of St. Joseph’s High School and Kidasi Nepa of Righetti are among 144 prep football players from throughout the country to be named as Great American Rivalry Series Scholar-Athletes for 2020. They will both receive a $500 scholarship on behalf of the Great American Rivalry Series and, through a partnership with the Pro Football Hall of Fame, are eligible to receive an additional scholarship while becoming a member of the inaugural Great American Rivalry Series Scholar Athlete Hall of Fame Team. The 25-member Hall of Fame Team will be chosen through a 30-day voting period that begins Monday. Voting will be conducted at the association’s web site, greatamericanrivalry. com/2020-scholar-athletes. As a junior defensive back and wide receiver, Williams led St. Joseph’s to a 9-4 record and the CIF Central Section’s Division 2 semifinals last season. He’s received scholarship offers from Cal Poly, Yale, William & Mary, Fordham, Lehigh, Bucknell, and the University of San Diego. Righetti has compiled a 17-7 record during Nepa’s two seasons as a starting slot back and free safety, advancing to the CIF-CS Division 2 final in 2018. He compiled 924 total yards of rushing and receiving last year while scoring 10 touchdowns. email: mpatton@newspress.com

At this time last year, Dos Pueblos coach Doug Caines was preparing his football team for a 14-12 victory at cross-town San Marcos that pivoted his Chargers toward their fourth-straight CIF playoff berth. But they can’t even touch the same football during this same week of October. “It’s a bummer that you can’t do much more than condition,” he began, “but after seven or eight months of not being allowed to do anything, it has been good. “Seeing the joy and appreciation in these kids — of being able to get out there and do something normal again — is super-rewarding, and we’re seeing it in their faces every day.” Caines has a lot to sort out in a program that graduated eight of its 10 all-leaguers and had another — offensive and defensive back Johnny Alvarado — transfer to Bishop Diego. He does return Daniel Santacruz, a 5-foot-10 and 185-pound linebacker who earned second-team All-Channel League honors last year after leading DP with 97 tackles and five quarterback sacks. “He was the linchpin of our defense as a junior and we’re looking to him to take the leadership during his senior year,” Caines said. “There are a core group of leaders, along with some underclassmen, who have definitely tried to set the tone of what we’re trying to do. “There’s not a kid at this school, including the seniors, who don’t remember what we had to do to get into the playoffs last year. There’s an expectation of at least a benchmark to try to compete for a Channel League championship and make a run to the playoffs.” DP, a CIF Southern Section Division 10 finalist in 2017, won three of four league games to set up a title showdown with Santa Barbara in the final week of the regular season. The Dons won 31-18 and continued on to the CIF-SS Division 8 final. The Chargers lost to eventual Division 6 finalist Crespi in their first-round game. Competing for a conference championship will be more difficult this year in a revamped Channel League that includes Santa Barbara, Lompoc, Rio Mesa, defending CIF State 2A champion Pacifica, and Oxnard, which actually beat the Tritons in a showdown for last year’s Pacific View League title. Last year’s combined record of the Chargers’ new Channel League opponents was 48-15. The new Pacific View League will consist of San Marcos, Santa Ynez, Cabrillo, Ventura, Buena, and Channel Islands. “We just want to compete,” Caines said about the new alignment. “We always talk about our circles of influence and concern, and the new league

structure is something we can’t control. We don’t want to waste any time on it. “I know it makes the road a little tougher to achieve our goals of making the playoffs, but it would also make it that much sweeter. We’re looking forward to the challenge, and the kids understand the urgency. “The conditions of the world are slowing us down, but they are spread across all sites. We’re just trying to deal with what we can control.” He’s anxious to get a better look at senior quarterbacks Trent Jones (5-11, 155 pounds) and Josiah Severson (6-1, 201), who were part of a three-player rotation at the position last year. “It’s tough to evaluate right now because we can’t throw the ball to anybody,” Caines said. “We’re at the start of Phase 2 (of COVID-19 guidelines) for high school sports, where each kid can possess an object but there can be no exchange of objects. “Basically, they can throw balls at a wall, or at a can, but not to another kid.” Jones passed for 405 yards and a pair of touchdowns in six games last year while Severson threw for 379 yards and four TDs in as many games. “Both are super-bright kids,” Caines said. “Trent is usually the smartest kid in the room. Josiah is more physically gifted — he has more speed and size behind him — while Trent has more of a natural throwing arm and a really good football IQ. “Trent might be able to push the football downfield with his reads, while Josiah can make those short throws and make plays with his legs. Together, they make one perfect quarterback.” Their favorite receiver, Baylor Huyck, has now joined former DP lineman Angel Flores on the roster at Northern Arizona University. But senior Andrew “Angel” Pineda (5-10, 180) and junior Osiris Fox (6-3, 190) are ready to fill the void, Caines said. “Angel played behind Baylor last year and, quite honestly, we can’t get that kid to stop working out,” he pointed out. “Even when we were doing the Zoom classes, he was always putting in extra workouts. I think he’s poised to have a big season. “Osiris was a first-year player on the JVs last year — he’s a long, lanky kid with a lot of potential.” DP graduated two dynamic playmakers in all-league backs Udy Loza and Conner Lee. Senior Alonzo Cruz (5-9, 155), a defensive standout last year at cornerback, is the only returning player with experience at running back. Caines is hopeful, however, that senior Prince Miller, a track star who transferred to DP last year, can become a major rushing threat as well as a stalwart at outside linebacker. “He’ll be a huge mix-in for us,” he said. “We also have a couple of running backs coming up from the JV level. Normally we know by

She said recruiters have held virtual coffee chats, networking events and other creative ways to get to know the candidates during the pandemic. The Intelligence & Space division of Raytheon builds products for missile warning and defense, Earth observation, the GPS Next-Generation Operational Control System, cyber hardening and more. Ms. Flores oversees the overall strategic direction and operation of electronic warfare products, including the U.S. Navy’s Next Generation Jammer, the U.S. Army’s Electronic Warfare Planning and Management Tool, the high energy laser systems and the Applied Signal Technology area. “Space is the latest frontier,” Ms. Flores said. “For a lot of the work that’s going on, it starts

with censors and innovative capabilities developed right there in Goleta.” Raytheon has had a presence in Goleta for decades, not only because of its strong industrial base and strong STEM schools, but its strong sense of community. “It’s really been a key engine for growth,” she continued. “We’ve got a long-standing history of having a solid base in Goleta, and that’s something our folks there are very proud of. We have a really strong employee base that is proud to live in Goleta and work at Raytheon.” Of the 1,400 employees at Raytheon Intelligence & Space, most have been there for more than 20 years. Ms. Flores said the reason for such a high retention rate is twofold: Raytheon’s noble mission and the career development it provides. “We all have that common objective to serve the war fighters, so that helps invigorate a lot of folks in our company,” she said. “We provide the opportunity to try

new things, to explore different skill sets, to develop and grow. And while we have this great vision of cutting edge, it still always comes down to the people. Our people are our biggest assets.” During COVID-19, Raytheon Intelligence & Space has also created and donated personal protective equipment, temperature-taking equipment and disinfectant wipes. The company has also donated millions of dollars to Feeding America, citing the current food shortage as a result of the pandemic. Raytheon Intelligence & Space even launched a COVID-19 website NASA. “I think our employees have been echoing that just by their willingness to stay and continue to help us meet our missions and vision, that it aligns with what their core goals are as well,” Ms. Flores said. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

now what they can do, but we just haven’t yet had the chance to see them and refine who the top two or three might be. “There’s still a lot up in the air.” That’s also true on the line, where seniors Jacob Perez (6-2, 230) and Alex Randall (5-11, 235) are the only returning starters. “We did bring up Merrick Foster (6-1, 273) for the playoffs, and he arguably could’ve played fulltime on varsity as a sophomore,” Caines said. “Those three are going to lead the charge on the offensive

and defensive line.” The Chargers will need to find a supporting cast before they take the field for their COVID-delayed opener at Nordhoff on Jan. 8. “Everything is pretty much on paper right now,” Caines said. “Normally, we would’ve seen a lot of these guys in spring ball and summer camp, but right now we don’t know exactly what we’ve got. “At least Jan. 8 is still a long way away.”

SB Unified to start hybrid learning Jan. 19 By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara Unified School District voted unanimously Tuesday night to transition to a hybrid learning model Jan. 19 across all district campuses. The vote came just after Dr. Henning Ansorg, health officer for the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department, issued an updated health officer order which allows districts to reopen in-person with safety guidelines in place. Tuesday’s school board meeting brought 746 attendees and 31 public comments. The largest item on the agenda was the approval of a reopening plan. The board voted unanimously to transition to hybrid learning starting early next year. In the meantime, schools will increase the number of cohorts and extracurricular activities available when possible. Superintendent Hilda Maldonado previously recommended transitioning elementary schools to hybrid learning Nov. 9, but she amended the decision when hearing teachers’ concerns and more district information. Dr. Frann Wageneck, assistant superintendent, explained why the district believes full in-person learning is impractical. In order to space students out six feet, fewer students can fit in a classroom and in a teacher’s roster. Each school needs to hire approximately eight additional teachers, at a cost of $600,000 per school. Aside from the price tag, she says, there aren’t that many teachers for hire. In the hybrid learning model, students receive in-person instruction half of the time and study independently the rest of the week. Distance-only options will be available in any plan. More classified workers, like custodians and paraprofessionals, are needed even in a hybrid model. For example, more recess monitors are needed in order to enforce physical distancing on the playground. Board members seemed concerned about the amount of work ahead as they

made their vote to delay the hybrid plan to Jan. 19. “We will go hybrid eventually, but we have more work to do in my opinion,” board member Kate Ford said. “We can’t just turn on a dime and, in a few weeks time, say everything is clean and safe.” The other board members made similar statements. “I think January will give us time to be responsive and not reactive to what is going on,” Wendy Sims-Moten said. More information regarding hybrid learning will be sussed out over the coming weeks. Public commenters expressed concern for the independent learning portion of the hybrid model, saying that students get more instructional time through distance learning. “This hybrid model will bring the five days of interaction with their teacher and classmates down to two,” Jennifer Miller, a mother of two students, said. “Our teachers have made it clear that this is not the right option.” Many of the commenters were SB Unified teachers hesitant to return to campus. “Given the pandemic, I want to be sure that everyone is protected. Personally, I will see 150 students in one week,” La Cumbre Junior High School teacher David Han said. “If we go back to school, I want to make sure we have a plan, a written plan, that tells us what will happen if someone gets sick or someone breaks the rules,” he said. Still, some were in favor of returning Nov. 9. “We need to realize our students are not college students,” Sunita Beall, a mother of two high school students said. “We need less screen time and more personal engagement.” In Board President Laura Capp’s statement, she expressed gratification for the comments and emails received over the past couple weeks. She said many were hesitant to return in-person and even acknowledged successes with distance learning. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Supes express concerns over random commission drawing By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Santa Barbara County District Attorney Joyce Dudley at random chose the first five commission members who will serve on the county’s 2020 Citizens’ Independent Redistricting Commission during Tuesday’s Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors meeting. As per the 2018 Ballot Measure G2018, the CIRC will be formally appointed on or before Dec. 31, and determine the county’s supervisorial district boundaries. In accordance with the measure, the district attorney was charged with choosing the commission’s first five members, one from each of the current supervisorial districts, in a random drawing. Those initial five members will then choose another five from each of the districts and one at large member, creating an 11-person commission that will be formalized before the end of the year. The five members chosen on Tuesday were each one of the nine most qualified applicants from each district except for District 2, which had a list of seven names after two applicants were disqualified. The initial five selected were Laura Katz for District 1, William McClintock for District 2, Norman Bradley for District 3, Cary Gray for District 4, and Glenn Morris for District 5. Many supervisors objected that the final pool of 45 most qualified applicants was not reflective of Santa Barbara County’s racial, gender, age, and partisan diversity. Third District supervisor Joan Hartmann kicked off the criticism of the applicant pool, first questioning why the two disqualified applicants for District 2 weren’t replaced with other applicants from the almost 200 total that the county received. County of Santa Barbara ClerkRecorder Joe Holland replied that county counsel advised that the ordinance calling for a final list of nine applicants per district didn’t allow for replacing

Chumash sanctuary nomination extended SANTA BARBARA — The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has decided to keep the Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary on the nomination list for designation as a marine sanctuary for five more years, a decision lauded by Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, and Sen. Diane Feinstein. The deadline to either move forward with its designation as a sanctuary or remove it from the nomination list was Oct. 5, according to a press release. Rep. Carbajal remarked that designating

disqualified applicants. Supervisor Hartman wasn’t satisfied with this answer. “Well, as I read it, it says ‘Nine applicants from each existing supervisorial district shall be included in the list of most qualified applicants unless there are less than nine applicants in the district,’” she said. She added, “I think that’s a matter of some interpretation and we interpret it in a manner that’s most restrictive, which I find odd.” Ms. Hartmann then took aim at the racial, gender, and age makeup of the applicant list which she said was skewed toward those who are “old, white, and male.” She cited that the pool only has 13% Latino applicants compared to 46% in the county’s population, only 14% individuals under the age of 40 when they are 57% of the population, and 65% male applicants when women are half of the county’s population. Ms. Hartmann inquired how Mr. Holland and his office distinguished “qualified” candidates from the “most qualified” candidates and deemed its selection process as “obscure.” Mr. Holland responded that his charge was to select the most qualified candidate in conjunction with the four requirements laid out in the county code’s selection process. “My charge was to take the most qualified… It does not request of me to take into account gender, age, or ethnicity,” he said. When Ms. Hartmann pressed harder for Mr. Holland to talk about his selection process, he refused on the grounds that his job was to choose candidates based on the enumerated criteria. First District supervisor Das Williams pointed out that criterium C for finding the nine finalists per district is that an applicant has “experience that demonstrates an appreciation for the diverse demographics and geography of the County of Santa Barbara.” Criteria A and B, respectively, are that a candidate have experience that demonstrates analytical skills relevant

this region a National Marine Sanctuary will help preserve the Central Coast’s natural environment and cultural heritage, as well as help fight climate change. He added, “Protecting our biologically diverse marine areas will also benefit our state’s $1.9 trillion coastal economy, including our robust tourism and commercial fishing industries. I am grateful this five-year extension was granted, and I urge the NOAA to move forward with designating this area as a sanctuary to protect it for future generations.” Sen. Feinstein called extending the Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary’s nomination an additional five years a “no brainer” and said permanently designating it a sanctuary would help preserve one of the largest remaining kelp forests. “Kelp forests absorb twice as much carbon as forests on land, but California has already lost more than 90 percent of its kelp,” she stated.

to the redistricting process and voting rights, and have experience that demonstrates an ability to be impartial. Mr. Williams also expressed a desire to know what differentiated qualified candidates from the most qualified. He also stressed that it’s important the five appointees chosen on Tuesday bear the county’s diversity in mind when selecting the final six commissioners. According to a board letter, the five initial members will choose the final six based on “relevant experience, analytical skills, and ability to be impartial,” as well as “to ensure that the commission reflects the county’s diversity, including racial, ethnic, geographic, age, and gender diversity.” Board chair and 2nd District supervisor Gregg Hart also expressed concern regarding the candidate list’s lack of diversity and was doubtful that the five initial commissioners would be able to fix it when selecting the final candidates. “It will be very difficult for the people that are selected by this random process to fix the errors that are created by this initial pool,” he said. Though 5th District Supervisor Steve Lavagnino acknowledged his colleagues’ concerns, he stated that creating the CIRC is far preferable to the alternative, the five supervisors drawing their own boundaries despite having “ultimate ulterior motives.” Vice chair and 4th District supervisor Peter Adam said that Mr. Holland should be given the benefit of the doubt considering that the criteria he was given to work with lacked the specificity to reach the outcome the board desired. “The rules we gave him are a little bit subjective and he did the best he could to prioritize those different rules,” Mr. Adam said. “We didn’t tell him to put paragraph C first. We didn’t tell him how to arrive at the combined score of all those things.” In other business, the board accepted a COVID-19 update and filed a KPMG report on the cannabis permitting process. email: jgrega@newspress.com

August 1, 1922 - October 6, 2020

June Laurette Stark was born in San Francisco on August 1, 1922 to Charles Edwin Stark and Ethel Diana Rohrback (Stark). In 1929, she and her family moved to Mill Valley, California. June graduated from Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley in 1940. She attended the College of Marin in Kentfeld, California, before enrolling at the University of California at Berkeley where she majored in Romance languages. After finishing her A.B. Degree at Cal, June worked first for the Standard Oil Company, then for the Golden Gate Bridge Administrative District. Eventually she moved to the East Coast, where she met Howard Kambach and married him in 1953. The couple left New York in the early 1960s to live on the West Coast.
