Dodgers win the World Series Team takes home first championship in more than three decades

By GERRY FALL

Rays for 7 2/3 innings, with Julio Urias getting the final seven outs — four of which came by way of the strikeout. The Dodgers didn’t do much, offensively, but what they did was good enough. They scored two runs in the sixth inning on a wild pitch and a fielder’s choice, and Mookie Betts finished the scoring with a solo home run in the

The wait is over. After 32 years without a World Series title, the Dodgers ended that long drought on Tuesday night with a 3-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 6 in Arlington, Texas. L.A.’s bullpen was the story of the contest, shutting out the

bottom of the eighth. In a curious move, Rays manager Kevin Cash took out his starter, Blake Snell, after the veteran lefty gave up a lead-off single to Dodgers catcher Austin Barnes in the sixth. It was just the second hit Snell allowed to go along with nine strikeouts to that point. “I’m not exactly sure why, I’m not going to ask any questions,” Betts

said when asked about the move to remove Snell from the game. “He was pitching a great game. … They made the pitching change, and that seems like all we needed.” It was a move that backfired on Cash after his hard-throwing reliever, Nick Anderson, gave up a double to Betts, uncorked a wild pitch that scored Barnes, and gave up the second run on a fielder’s

choice ground out to first by World Series MVP Corey Seagar. Rays’ rookie Randy Arozarena homered in the first to give his team a 1-0 lead before the Dodgers finally broke through in the sixth. It’s L.A.’s first World Series title since 1988 and the franchise’s seventh. The Dodgers had to come back in the National League Championship Series when they were down three

games to one to Atlanta. After winning three straight to close out the Braves, the Dodgers won the final two games against Tampa Bay to win the World Series. Tampa Bay has played in two World Series — this season and in 2008. The Rays lost both times. email: gfall@newspress.com

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Covenant Living at the Samarkand retirement community celebrated the 100th birthday of one of its residents with a car parade Tuesday morning. Shortly after 10:30 a.m., former Santa Barbara County Courthouse volunteer docent Peggy Hayes took her seat at a balloon-decorated throne in front of the senior living center, greeted by her friends and a line of cars decorated with birthday messages. After the car parade made two gos around the Santa Barbara community’s looping entrance, the residents sang “Happy Birthday” to Ms. Hayes, and she expressed her gratitude to them for holding such a celebration. She told her friends that she was “overwhelmed” by the gesture. Please see 100 on A8 FOLLOW US ON

As of Tuesday afternoon, there were 101,000 ballots returned in Santa Barbara County. In an interview with the NewsPress, Santa Barbara County Clerk, Recorder, Assessor and Registrar of Voters Joe Holland said the most surprising thing about the ballots returned thus far is that a majority, 55,000, have been sent in through ballot drop boxes rather than vote by mail, which has been used to cast 46,000 ballots. “It’s pretty amazing. These drop boxes have turned out to be very popular,” he said. There are currently 30 voter drop boxes in Santa Barbara County and their locations can be found online at countyofsb.org/ care/elections. Roughly 55,000 of the returned ballots thus far have been Democrat, 24,000 Republican, and 19,000 have had no party preference. There is also a handful that are scattered among

different parties. Mr. Holland said there has been a fair increase in Santa Barbara County’s registered voters, growing from 227,000 in March to more than 235,000 registered voters now. “Not a huge increase, but you’ve gotta remember that people can still register to vote now up through Election Day,” Mr. Holland remarked. 400 of the ballots returned to County Elections as of Monday were missing signatures and 200 ballots had signatures that didn’t match those on their corresponding voter registrations. To those individuals, County Elections will send letters detailing how to correct the missing or unmatching signatures. In addition to the 30 drop boxes, starting Saturday, Oct. 31, County Elections will open 35 in-person voting locations. These will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday, and 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day. email: jgrega@newspress.com

t may be Dr. Lois Peterson’s first semester as the superintendent/principal of the Vista Del Mar Union School District (during a global pandemic nonetheless), but the school feels like home to her. When she heard about the job opening, she and her husband drove to Vista De Las Cruces School to think about the opportunity. When they pulled up to the Gaviota campus, she felt a sense of peace. “It was kind of like magic. There were some horse riders with their trailers parked, and they sat in chairs under a tree,” she told the News-Press. “They looked like they were relaxing, and that told a story.” It reminded her of her hometown of Fonda, La., a rural town of around 600 people. She liked the school’s connection to nature and farming and began drafting her application. She loved that she could serve as a principal and superintendent, a role her friends thought was perfect for her as well. Her first job was at a single-school district, and she wanted to return to one. “Being the only school in the whole district, it becomes a community center,” she said. “It brought me full circle back to my first job.” Community is a keyword for Dr. Peterson. She strives to make connections between school employees and families. “I really want to create a connection with the community and create this greatness,” she said. “A bold new vision building on a foundation of a strong history of connection.” She’s heard of families with four generations of history in the school. In her own family, she grew up as the third oldest of 15 kids. She played school with her siblings and knew, as a young child, that she wanted to become a teacher. She has taken many positions in education, from teaching in the Kansas City area to earning a doctorate’s degree in San Diego. As someone who moved around a lot, she’s not afraid of a fresh start. And she hopes to inspire her students to branch out, just like she did. “I’m so delighted about what our school will be restored to be. We’re going to move forward and bring enrollment back,” Dr. Peterson said. “It’s my responsibility to support this vision.” She has many responsibilities in the district, ranging from financial planning to tagging along in parent-teacher conferences.

At top, Dr. Lois Peterson has encouraged the celebration of Halloween with the distribution of pumpkins and supplies. Center, families at Vista De La Cruces School are getting into the Halloween spirit. Above, parents volunteer to help with planning, organizing and driving the school bus.

But her favorite part of her job is the morning meetings. All 27 students video chat with staff, beginning with the Pledge of Allegiance. This week, the students are showing off crafts during the morning meeting. Dr. Peterson and three parent volunteers passed out supplies last Thursday evening to each student. They gave out pumpkins, construction paper, a Halloween mask and candy. And she led the students to write thank-you letters to the volunteers. She had the youngest grades just draw a picture to share. “I aim for a series of small things brought together that make people feel valued and loved. That way, they know we’re there for them,” she said. One way Dr. Peterson makes students feel cared for is by celebrating birthdays. She contacts parents beforehand to see if they’d like to join for the morning meeting, and she buys a tub of the students’ favorite flavor of ice cream. She said parents enjoy listening in on the morning Zoom calls. Kids chat among one another, and even kindergarteners socialize with the older students. “It’s about creating a positive environment so that they achieve the highest level possible of learning and that they create that passion and joy for learning,” she said. Dr. Peterson said she hopes the environment the staff creates allows for academic growth, though she understands families are struggling with a lot during the pandemic. “We’re working so closely with parents,” she said. “What I try to fully acknowledge are all the feelings and anxiety people are facing in this difficult time.” Her students are still learning remotely, and she is currently creating a re-entry plan. She said safety has been a priority, and she relies on her personal faith to give her strength as she makes decisions. “I’m a reflective leader, and I think that when you give yourself time to have that quietness within yourself, it makes you open to give and receive,” she said. It took reflection and two trips to Gaviota before Dr. Peterson applied to the position. She sees the joy she feels in her job as a sign it was the right fit. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

The Mission Hope Cancer Center combines treatment, research, imaging, education and outreach at one location.

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

As National Breast Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close, Mission Hope Cancer Center is focusing on new technology and treatment for breast cancer patients, who make up 40 percent of the center’s population. The Santa Maria center is accredited by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers and is the only Central Coast facility with that distinction. New technology increases treatment’s precision, helping oncologists target the growth without letting radiation reach

vital organs, like the heart and lungs. “Mission Hope Cancer Center provides patients with the most advanced care possible, right in their own community,” radiation oncologist Dr. Ben Wilkinson said. “With this new treatment, the level of cure is high, and patients can live long healthy lives, free of disease.” Active breathing control is utilized to distance the heart from the treatment area. When a patient takes a deep breath, the chest lifts away from the heart, and less radiation reaches the heart. Dr. Wilkison has also introduced three-dimensional surface mapping. It helps oncologists

adjust patients into the same position each radiation treatment. “This advanced equipment was acquired to offer our breast cancer patients the best treatment possible, as well as prolonged health to free of heart disease and issues with the lungs as a result of radiation therapy,” Dr. Wilkinson said. The technology may assist the oncologist, but it provides a better quality of life to the patients. Mission Hope partners physicians and oncologists in a multidisciplinary approach to treatment that’s catered to each patient. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

ARIES — A phone conversation with someone who lives far away might have you feeling a bit sad, reflecting on how much you miss that person. This can lead to pondering about your life. You might question the direction you seem to be moving in and consider other possible options. You’re likely to be cautious when it comes to making final decisions, Aries. You will consider every detail. TAURUS — Today you might be in a reflective and meditative mood. You may think about mundane matters, such as how to increase your income, or more complex issues, such as the purpose of life. You aren’t likely to want to do much socializing today, Taurus. It’s probably the perfect day to stay in, relax, and enjoy your own company. Reading could prove especially informative now. GEMINI — Obligations to friends and groups could interfere with time that you want to spend with your partner. A number of people in your home might demand more of your time, energy, and attention, and you might find this disconcerting. You’re no one’s servant, Gemini. You’re entitled to enjoy yourself. Save some time for your mate at the end of the day. CANCER — You might wake up this morning and decide your home is a total wreck. The desire to spend the day cleaning and sprucing up your house might prove almost obsessive. Do what you have to do, but don’t get so caught up that you forget about the big picture. Whatever you do today, Cancer, view it in its proper perspective. The world won’t end if your house isn’t flawlessly clean. LEO — Extra time and attention that you have been devoting to your career should pay off about now. You’ve worked hard to be where you are, and you aren’t through climbing the ladder of success just yet. You aren’t likely to rest on your laurels. Today you might spend a lot of time planning your next goal. A little ingenuity will definitely pay off here, Leo. Use whatever advantages you have. VIRGO — An older male visitor could contact you, possibly offering to help you with some work that needs to be done. Family members may have abandoned you for the day to go out and do their own thing. You will welcome the offer. Practical matters, such as the household budget, might need attention, so set aside some time to +*#!2 +1$)"$work out the details. LIBRA — Today you might

HOROSCOPE perform some service to people who live in your neighborhood. Perhaps you will chauffeur people around to do their shopping. Perhaps you will help people with household tasks. Pets may also need some attention. Whatever it is, you will enjoy helping in whatever way is possible, and be appreciated as well. Expect to have a very busy day. You will certainly sleep soundly tonight. SCORPIO — Meticulous and sincere effort on your part may have led to a recent increase in income. Today you might be thinking of reworking your budget. While others might throw caution to the wind at a time like this, today you might go too far in the opposite direction. Be careful and realistic, Scorpio, but don’t be overly frugal. You’ve worked hard to get where you are, and you deserve a reward. SAGITTARIUS — A sense of duty toward family members, children, and your sweetheart may cause you to take on responsibilities today that you wouldn’t normally assume. Sincere efforts on behalf of those you care about are likely to bring the results you want. It won’t just make you happy but will also please those you are helping. This not only makes you feel appreciated, it will also boost your physical strength. CAPRICORN — Emotions stemming from past experiences might cause you to assume undue responsibilities, particularly concerning family members. This is fine as long as you realize what you’re doing is as much for you as for the other person. Whatever tasks you assume may allow you to release old traumas and give form to your plans and ambitions. And don’t be surprised if those you help today go to bat for you later. AQUARIUS — Relatives or neighbors may come to you today asking for favors. Some may know exactly what buttons to push in order to get you to do what they want. Don’t be sucked into guilt or other negative emotions. Help others if you wish, Aquarius, but recognize that you’re doing it because you want to and not because you feel you have to. You might even learn something about yourself in the process. PISCES — A temporary lack of belief in your abilities might have you hesitating to start a project or take on a task that you’d normally snap up. This could involve something you’ve wanted to try or helping someone else. Your faith in yourself should never flag, but if it does, it’s important to remember that hard work can be as important as talent - and you aren’t afraid of that!

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.

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

After the first round of rental assistance program funds was depleted in three days, the Santa Barbara City Council approved continuing to use Community Development Block Grant funds for COVID-19 rental assistance. In the virtual meeting on Tuesday, city staff shared that 82 households were assisted in those three days, and more than 350 households requested assistance. City staff deemed additional funds necessary “due to enormous demand.� With the $1,012,243 allocation from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, $20,000 will be going to administration, $57,265 will be going toward United Way’s program delivery costs (case management, application processing and grant reporting) and the remaining $954,978 will go directly toward rental assistance. “The highest and best use of our opportunities to spread out this funding is to directly support our neighbors,� said Council member Meagan Harmon. “We do have an opportunity to really serve them directly, to put money directly in their pockets...I can’t imagine a better thing for us to do with this money.� The council also requested that the case managers ensure to prioritize those who were left pending after the first round. The case managers look at the households that are most vulnerable as well. The assistance is also limited to three months or by set dollar amount. “The three months will allow us to serve the greatest number of families and individuals and prioritize those who weren’t able to receive the assistance last time,� said Council member Eric Friedman. In other news, the council established the requested Human Services funding commitment of $726,150. City staff identified the eligibility and criteria for funding, including: low/moderate income residents; social/physical needs; proposed marketing strategy; support from clients; identify funding sources; reasonable administrative costs; identify service areas; and local minimum wage. The Human Services staff will evaluate agency performance, board engagement, program impact, measurable outcomes, need in the community, financial sustainability and capital which includes project description, need and cost. The funding percentage for program categories for FY ‘20 and FY ‘21 included: 4% for child, 14% for disability/health/medical, 12%

for emergency, 9% for food, 36% for homeless, 6% for other, 7% for senior and 13% for youth. Council member Mike Jordan addressed the need for funding programs to get homeless individuals off the streets. “I am much more interested, when we look at this list next year, of the suggestions in items that change the trajectory of people’s lives rather than just sustain the status quo,� he said. “That was exactly my concern with what the homeless category is made up of and what part of that might just be meeting basic human needs like food, but is not targeting, as a priority, getting the service and the housing to the people on the street and getting them off the street. “The priority on that homeless category should be to look for where we can get our largest return on actual improvements on the situation rather than trying to spread ourselves out and feel a little bit of good here and a little bit of good there,� he said. Ms. Harmon said she hesitates with “laser-focusing� on the homeless population. “We are letting so many more people that rely on these other services fall through the cracks,� she said. “I just worry that in practice right now, this year in particular, it won’t have the desired effect and put a lot more people at risk when there are so many more of us that are right on the edge and that are going to rely on greater breadth of the services in our community more than ever before.� Finally, the city council approved the staff recommendation to make amendments to the city’s Zoning Ordinance in order to be consistent with the new state law changes, for both accessory dwelling units and the Coastal Zoning ordinance. However, they asked the Legislative Committee to consider the following: including ADU regulations regarding high fire and extreme high fire hazard zones, facilitating mixed-use conversions in commercial areas to maximize housing units within those conversions, implementing informative and clear signs and maintaining consistency with state law regarding owneroccupancy requirements with an evaluation in five years. “I see an opportunity in mixeduse properties,� said Mayor Cathy Murillo. “The reality of commercial real estate has changed and putting housing in those opportunity sites would be wonderful.� Finally, the council conducted interviews for city advisory groups. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Students discuss 2020 election in Capps Center panel By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Walter H. Capps Center at UC Santa Barbara held a discussion Monday night about the upcoming election. The panelists weren’t politicians or representatives from large organizations. They were students selected to represent their peers’ opinions. Dr. Maeve Devoy, associate director of the Capps Center, moderated the panel alongside Aaron Jones, director of the educational opportunity program at UCSB. All four students expressed concern for the presidential election, each with a personal perspective. “I think particularly about the climate crisis is one that really resonates with me, in terms of helping us think about how we are orienting ourselves to what’s broader than us, in terms of how we’re taking care of one other as a country but also our planet,� Shakir Stephen, a Ph.D, student in religious studies, said. “And there’s a lot really at stake in thinking about how we approach those kinds of issues.� Laith Alsayed, an undergraduate student majoring in political science and applied

statistics and data science, said he worries about who the president will appoint as cabinet members. He has been disappointed in Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’s policies. As a Muslim-American child of immigrants, he is also concerned about immigration. President Donald Trump’s Executive Order 13769 temporarily barred travel to the Unites States from seven predominantly Muslim countries and was widely referred to as a “Muslim Ban.� “Right when the president took office, first thing he did was put a Muslim ban on certain countries . . . That really made me concerned made me scared. And it made me worried about my family back in the Middle East as well,� he said. Melissa Barthelemy, a doctoral candidate in public history with an emphasis in feminist studies, is also a child of an immigrant. Her mom was born in Nazi-occupied Poland and was orphaned because of the war. “And that kind of traumatic environment makes it feel very real when we expressed concerns about this kind of rise in authoritarianism,� she said, noting her discomfort with comments President Trump has made Please see students on A8

Former Westmont College soccer star Maddi Berthoud displays her new jersey after signing a pro contract with Calcio Pomigliano of Italy’s second division.

By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

When Westmont College convinced soccer star Maddi Berthoud to trade Manchester by the Sea for Montecito by the Sea, the Warrior recruiter made a prescient observation about the midfielder from Massachusetts. “Maddi brings an international flare,� former coach Chantel Cappuccilli said before the 2016 season. Berthoud’s post-Westmont journey, which began in February with Switzerland’s FF Lugano, has now taken her to Italy’s Calcio Pomigliano. The second division power signed her to a 10-month, professional contract earlier this month. “I felt that once I got a taste of the professional life in Switzerland, it reignited my childhood dream and I had to continue pursuing it while I am this passionate about it,� said Berthoud, who holds Swiss citizenship. “Since everything is still so crazy with COVID, I am so grateful to have found the opportunity and to have the European citizenship that allows me to come to Europe during this time.� She missed the first two games of Calico Pomigliano’s season while her paperwork was being completed but has since made three consecutive substitute appearances. The team is tied atop the Serie B standings with 11 points and a 3-0-2 record. Berthoud quarantined with family in Switzerland for two months after the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted FF Lugano’s season. She returned to her hometown of Rowley, Mass., after her Swiss league — Nationalliga A — finally canceled its season in May. “While I was home, I felt that I really wanted to continue playing professionally, so I got an agent to help me find opportunities,� she said. “With COVID, it was very difficult to find a team, so I had to wait until mid-September for the offer to come through.� Berthoud is one of only five Westmont players to have received

The second division power signed her to a 10-month, professional contract earlier this month. All-Golden State Athletic Conference honors in four straight seasons. She was named GSAC Newcomer of the Year in 2016 and twice earned NAIA All-America honorable mention. She is tied for sixth in career assists (28), eighth in points (110) and ninth in goals (41) in the Warriors’ record book. “It will be hard to replace someone who has as much drive as Maddi Berthoud,� Jenny Jaggard said after completing her first season as Westmont’s head coach last fall. “Maddi loves the game. She works at it and puts in 100% effort on her soccer. “Her one-on-one skill is unmatched. She is patient and has such great tempo, unhurried, but quick.� Berthoud led last year’s Warriors to their first GSAC championship since 2015. They advanced to the NAIA quarterfinals and finished with a record of 16-4-1. “Maddi has so much passion for soccer and for sharing the love of God with others,� Jaggard observed. “I am excited that she has this opportunity to continue to use her talents on the field while learning about another culture and continuing her education.� Berthoud, who twice earned NAIA Scholar-Athlete honors at Westmont, is in her third quarter of a master’s program through

Her goal is to earn a PhD and become a professor of religious studies. “We have a lot of free time in the day before training so it gives me structure and something to be working towards as I play,� she said. “What I am learning equips me for ministry, which I feel I am able to do here and now on my team and something that will

always be a part of my life.� She decided to take Italian lessons when she arrived in Switzerland since it is a main language spoken in Lugano. “What I learned there has really helped me here (in Italy),� Berthoud said. “My ability to understand is better than my ability to speak, but I am really happy with the progress I have

made. “I make a lot of effort to speak Italian with my teammates and that has helped me integrate into the team.� Her playing time with Calico Pomigliano has increased with each of her three matches this month. “I’m thrilled she’s living out her dream, and it’s been exciting

to watch her get more playing time,� Westmont assistant coach Lauren Matthias said. “Playing professionally abroad has always been a dream of Maddi’s. “COVID-19 made fulfilling this dream even more challenging, but it is no surprise that Maddi found a way to make it happen.� email: mpatton@newspress.com

Coalition hopes to spread word to all age groups in two languages masks

Continued from Page A1 Neighborhood Clinics, Santa Barbara County Education Office, school districts throughout Santa Barbara County, UCSB and Westmont College. Starting tonight and every night through Nov. 7, the coalition is encouraging businesses and households to “power up” with bright, multi-colored lights to “highlight our community’s commitment to reduce the transmission.” This commitment includes staying home, avoiding large gatherings, respecting six feet of physical distance at all times and, most importantly, wearing a mask. “The timing of Masked and Mighty cannot be more critical in our community,” said Dr. Dan Brennan, a pediatrician at the Sansum Clinic and one of the leaders of the coalition. He said that the campaign was borne out of what he and his colleagues saw as “basic public health measures we could each take to reduce the spread starting to become politicized,” leading to “difficulty in controlling our infection rates.” However, through a multi-faceted, bilingual campaign, the coalition hopes to spread awareness to community members of all ages. The campaign has both an English and Spanish website, brightly-colored ads featuring local residents and images, print and digital media, web ads, a social media presence on Facebook and Instagram, coloring pages and more. The campaign also features a PSA challenge, where residents of the county can record their own 30-second videos on “Why you are masked and mighty.” The videos will be posted on the campaign’s website, and the coalition asks that the messages remain positive rather than political. There will be script ideas and self-taping suggestions on the website as well. Most notably will be the “powering up” portion of the campaign. So far, the Cottage Hospitals in Santa Barbara, Goleta and the Santa Ynez Valley, the Sansum Clinic sites at Pueblo, Pesetas, Hitchcock and Carpinteria; CenCal Health; the UCSB Henley Gate; Orcutt City Schools; and the county buildings in North and South County are powering up with vibrant lighting. In addition, KEYT and the Lobero Theater will project the campaign’s logo. Local hardware stores are now stocking these multi-colored lights, including Home Depot in Goleta and Lompoc, the Home Improvement Center in Santa Barbara, Miner’s Ace in Nipomo and Lowe’s in Santa Maria, for any and all residents to power up their own homes. “It’s critical that everyone adheres to the core safety principles that have contributed to the improvements across the county,” said Luke Ontiveros, Santa Maria-Bonita School District superintendent. “This is especially important as schools resume in-person learning.” The campaign is funded by the Sansum Clinic, Cottage Health and the County of Santa Barbara, along with donations and marketing efforts from Sansum Clinic and Cottage Health. The coalition intends to maintain the campaign until a vaccine, and will ramp it up if numbers rise or other circumstances come up. “We have learned how to prevent its spread. We’ve learned that a community’s commitment to prevention efforts work. We have learned…that masks help contain the small droplets when we exhale,” said Dr. Lynn Fitzgibbons, an infectious disease and internal medicine specialist at Cottage Health. “Now is the time to commit and stay Masked and Mighty.” Businesses looking to join the campaign efforts and/or request a Masked and Mighty poster are encouraged to send an email to masked@sansumclinic.org and “power up” with lighting. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

SB Unified presents hybrid plan By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara Unified School District board met Tuesday night to discuss a hybrid learning plan. During the Oct. 13 meeting, board members expressed concern that administrators hadn’t fully developed a hybrid plan. Tuesday’s meeting brought answers to those questions, though confusion still lingered in public comments. One question regarded the wording presented regarding the start date. A few commenters thought the Jan. 19 date, unanimously voted upon Oct. 13, was contingent upon an orange-tier designation. They asked the board to approve Jan. 19 even if the county stays in the red tier. Superintendent Hilda Maldonado opened it to a board vote. Members agreed to open Jan. 19 — even in the red tier. Superintendent Maldonado’s presentation to the board gave a detailed overview of the hybrid schedules. The plan designates students as groups A, B and C. Group A attends campus Monday and Thursday, and group B is in the classroom Tuesday and Friday. Group C is always at home. Groups A, B and C all meet together Wednesdays. So, hybrid students will attend two days on campus, a class-wide online half-day Wednesday and two days of remote instruction. Both the students at home and in the classroom start the day together with their teacher. The students enrolled online exclusively will have a schedule that mirrors their current day. Depending upon enrollment, elementary students may have a multi-grade online classroom. Students in junior high and high school will have block schedules, meaning they attend half of their classes each quarter. They will have more time per class period, though, so the length of instruction stays the same. Ivan Genov, a parent of two Goleta Valley Junior High students, voiced concerns about block schedules during a public comment. “My concern is that they’ll have a big gap of no math, or any subject, until they start their next grade,” he said. Two teachers made public comments worried about the practicality of the hybrid plan. “This specific schedule, which simply put, isn’t feasible. Initiating over Zoom is challenging enough in a fully remote model,” Charles Clow, a San Marcos High School teacher said. “To ask teachers to initiate over Zoom and do so in the classroom simultaneously is not a realistic expectation.” He also said he doesn’t think students will be able to keep up with their usual rigor. York Shingle, a teacher at La Cumbre Junior High, said he felt uneasy about the expectation to teach all day without a planning period.

He was also worried about the expectation of students to disinfect their desks before passing period and then properly distance themselves in the hallways. “Have you seen how well a seventh grader cleans? I love them to pieces, but spoiler alert: they’re not good at it,” he said. Among his concerns was the district’s intended time to survey parents. He pointed out that it falls during a stressful time: election week. During the week of Nov. 2, parents will be asked to designate whether they’d like to enroll their students in the hybrid model or stay online second semester. Elementary parents will also be able to give their preference on the child’s teacher, though administrators may not be able to follow the preferences. Board president Laura Capps asked administrators if it was possible to extend the response deadline. Assistant superintendent of secondary education Shawn Carey said the school counselors need all the time available to coordinate students’ class schedules. The week of Nov. 9, parents will have an opportunity to change their mind. Dr. John Becchio, assistant superintendent of human resources, presented earlier in the meeting that the number of applications for temporary positions needed for the hybrid plan were low. The district needs floater custodians, a job that pays $16.78 to $20.75 per hour at eight hours per day, according to the district’s website. Paraeducators are needed in both general and special education. General education paras receive $15.09 to $18.69 per hour and work three to five hours per day. Playground supervisors receive $13.96 per hour, working two to five hours per day. California’s minimum wage is set to increase to $14 per hour at the start of 2021. Dr. Becchio indicated that the district is open to having volunteers on campuses as playground supervisors and hopes principals will reach out to parents. He plans to update the board on the hiring process. Student advisory board members started Superintendent Maldonado’s presentation. “We as a community have to understand that if putting kids back in school has a higher risk than reward, it’s not worth it. So we must make sure we have systems rules and precedents in place to keep schools and children safe,” Maya Samarasena, a senior at Dos Pueblos High School said. Her peer, Yaritza Gonzalez, echoed students’ concerns for safe re-entry. The hybrid plan agenda item lasted over two and a half hours. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

BITTNER, Lyliane P.

Lyliane P. Bittner passed away at her home surrounded by her loving children on October 25 at the age of 91. Born Lyliane Vauzelle on September 13, 1929 in Paris, France, she came to the United States on July 4, 1946. While working at a Maytag washing machine factory in Newton, Iowa, she met the love of her life Donald C. Bittner. The two married in 1948, and together with love and devotion to each other and a strong faith in God, they raised nine children. In the early 1960s they moved their family to Goleta, where Lyliane eventually managed a shop called “Lyliane” in Old Town, specializing in handmade clothing. After the shop closed, she took her skills as a seamstress and ran a small business from home until the age of 85. Her many customers not only kept her busy but brought her lasting friendships. After Donald’s stroke in 1993, Lyliane took care of him at their home for eight years, never wavering in her love for him or her faith. Lyliane also devoted her life to the care of her youngest daughter with special needs, Michelle. Lyliane and Michelle kept each other company and brought each other great happiness. One of their favorite things to do together was attend church every Sunday morning at the Living Faith Center. Lyliane’s greatest pride was her role as mother and wife, and her greatest joy was her family. She is survived by her nine children: Clark (Laura), Linda, Leann, Donita (Dan), Donald (Trudy), Michael (Tina), Randy (Jo), Polly (Alan), and Michelle, along with 16 grandchildren, 33 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. She is pre-deceased by her husband Donald, two grandsons, and three sons-in-law. The family would like to thank the staff from Home Instead, as well as Cynthia, Lesly, Joanne, Tracie, and granddaughter Kristin for their continued care and support. A special thanks to the Visiting Nurse Association (VNA Health) for allowing Lyliane the comfort and care to pass with dignity and grace at her home. Due to COVID-19, the Bittner family has chosen to have a private gathering to honor and celebrate Lyliane’s life. She will be laid to rest at Goleta Cemetery with her husband Donald. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to VNA Health.

Woman lived in many places before settling in Santa Barbara 100

Continued from Page A1 “This is remarkable. I never thought of such an event,” she said. Ms. Hayes told the News-Press she thanks her “good genes” for her longevity. She suspects she got them from her dad. “My father lived to over 105,” she said. Looking back on her long life, Ms. Hayes said that moving from Maryland to Santa Barbara was a highlight. According to her daughter, Margie Hayes, who shares the same full given name, Marjorie Matthews Hayes, she and her mother first visited Santa Barbara in 1954 when driving through California on the way to San Francisco, where her father was going to leave to serve in the military during the Korean War. Though Ms. Hayes and her family have lived in many places from Morocco to France, she developed a particular liking for Santa Barbara, much to the disappointment of her family members on the East Coast. “I just knew Santa Barbara was it for me,” she said. Starting in the 1970s, Ms. Hayes started her long stint as a volunteer docent at the Santa Barbara County Courthouse, giving historical tours, working to preserve the building’s archives and eventually taking charge of the effort to get the documents digitized. The 100-year-old recalled her first time visiting the courthouse as love at first sight, so much so that it birthed a whole new passion. “I adored that. The minute I saw that building I was overcome. And from then on architecture was my special interest,” she said.

Looking back on her long life, Ms. Hayes said that moving from Maryland to Santa Barbara was a highlight. Ms. Hayes was particularly taken with the courthouse’s architecture because it was so different from the architecture that she grew up around while living on the East Coast. Also, she’s particularly fond of Santa Barbara architecture’s extensive use of tiling. “I’m a tile fancier,” she said. Samarkand associate executive director Jennifer Leggit told the News-Press that on Tuesday, Ms. Hayes became the retirement home’s sixth centenarian resident and the second 100th birthday the community has celebrated since the onset of COVID-19 last spring. Ms. Leggit praised Ms. Hayes as an active Samarkand resident with a very “purpose-filled life.” Throughout her 20 years living at Samarkand, Ms. Hayes has been an active volunteer on the campus, serving in positions such as the head of the community’s archives committee. “She’s very active and engaged and has a lot of friends here, good social circle, meets every afternoon with a gang for happy hour, so she’s well established here,” Ms. Leggit said. If Ms. Hayes has one piece of wisdom she’s learned throughout her century of life to impart to younger generations, it’s a statement, a military saying, she heard growing up as an Army brat. “Straighten up, and fly right,” she said. email: jgrega@newspress.com

regarding dictators and hate groups. Panelists also discussed democracy and the role of voting during periods of civil unrest. “I’m very happy that this is the first general election that I get to participate in and hopefully have my voice heard,” Elissa Padilla, a political science and religious studies double major, said. “There’s a lot of power within the public when the people rise up and say what they want to say to make systematic change within our government.” Ms. Barthelemy recalled when UCSB student Michael Sanders organized a solidarity march on campus after the death of George

Floyd. “So it really illustrates the importance of individuals stepping up finding community getting engaged,” she said. Mr. Alsayed felt encouraged by the country-wide protests this summer. “We’ve done so much to draw attention to what should be, what people should be focusing on,” he said. “The power of ordinary people, I think it carries more power than what the government has.” Ms. Barthelemy said she feels like a “second-class citizen” as a lesbian, as the government does not protect her and her wife from discrimination. In her activist pursuits, her main focus is the LGBTQ community. “I do see some of the topics near and dear to my own heart

being brought up in ways that they wouldn’t have been in the past,” she said. The conversation primarily revolved around the presidential election, but local politics also affected the students. “I think participating as much as I possibly can, whether that be registering people to vote, or parties, or helping local candidates get elected, makes me feel more of an active member within my democracy and makes me feel more represented,” Ms. Padilla said. “So even if I don’t see my voice being heard on the presidential scale, I definitely feel that it can be heard on the city and state scale.” When Mr. Alsayed was a community college student in Orange County, he participated in student government. He spent

so much time in that role that he had to quit a job, so he and other students petitioned to receive pay and eventually got the change they desired. One of the audience questions asked why no Republican voices were included in the panel. Dr. DeVoy said that she tried to include more nonpartisan panelists than those on the right or left. No one on the panel said their political affiliation, and two said that they didn’t identify with a party at all. They all expressed frustration with the current president’s policies, but the tone rarely drifted to be accusatory. The students expressed their personal take on the election and their role as citizens. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com
