Supervisors ask that county be removed from SoCal Region By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors unanimously voted at its Tuesday meeting to send a letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom requesting Santa Barbara County be removed from the Southern California Region and be considered part of a Central Coast Region. This region would also include San Luis Obispo and Ventura Counties, both of which have sent the same request to the governor. If the letter is accepted by the governor, Santa Barbara County would no longer be under stayat-home orders once the current three-week order has passed, so long as the county, San Luis Obispo County, and Ventura County’s collective ICU capacity come out to less than 15% and are projected to stay under that percentage for four weeks. While 51% of Santa Barbara County’s staffed ICU beds are available, as part of the Southern California Region it falls under stay-at-home orders due to hardhit counties like Los Angeles County bringing the region’s total ICU capacity down to 10.9%. The Southern California Region consists of 11 counties: Imperial, Inyo, Los Angeles, Mono, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura. According to Santa Barbara County Public Health Department director Dr. Von Do-Reynoso, when Santa Barbara, Ventura, and San Luis Obispo Counties are excluded from Southern California and their ICUs aggregated, they come out far better than Southern California. “We have run our numbers and we consistently have higher ICU capacity jointly between the three counties,” she said. There was visible frustration among some of the supervisors Please see COVID on A8

Jewelry designer opens pop-up shop in Montecito Country Mart By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

S

heryl Lowe’s new popup shop in the Montecito Country Mart, where she sells her jewelry designs, is open seven days a week. But the day she enjoys most is Saturdays when customers can select their own gemstones, diamond accents and charms, and a designer will help them create their own bracelets or necklaces. “I call it ‘Build Your Own Day.’ I love to inspire the designer in all of us and give them the feeling that they can create something on their own. When they ask, ‘Can I do this in another color or another piece,’ I say, ‘Yes’ and ‘You should’ and ‘We will,’” said Ms. Lowe. “I want to give them the confidence I didn’t have when I thought about becoming a jewelry designer. I was intimidated by the likes of Tiffany and Cartier.”

She recalled that as a child growing up with her single mother and grandmother in the San Fernando Valley, she had a passion for creativity, especially jewelry. “I would put on my mother’s jewelry and sneak out of the house and meet my friends at the doughnut shop,” said the unpretentious Ms. Lowe during a phone interview from her home in Montecito. “I painted the walls in my bedroom and painted handprints on my jeans, and I tiedyed my clothes. “I was the typical Valley Girl.” After graduating from Ulysses S. Grant High School in Van Nuys in 1979, she earned her bachelor’s degree at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising Los Angeles. “I worked three jobs to pay for it — as a cashier in a pizza place, a daycare teacher’s aide Please see lowe on A4

and a model,” Ms. Lowe told the News-Press. “While attending the classes, I happened to take an off-campus course in theatrical makeup and fell in love with it.” After graduating from FIDM, she was a freelance makeup artist for 18 years for commercials, movies and television. She made a name for herself as a makeup artist for more than 30 major motion pictures, where she met her husband, TV and movie actor Rob Lowe. The couple, who were married in 1991, have two sons, Matthew, 27, and Johnowen, 25. “Matthew has his law degree, and Johnowen is a writer on Rob’s new show ‘9-1-1: Lone Star,’ ” said Ms. Lowe, who revealed that she was a reluctant transplant from the Los Angeles area to Montecito. “We had been frequent weekend guests at San Ysidro Ranch, but when Rob suggested we buy a home here, I balked. My family and friends and work were all in L.A. When we began looking at homes in Montecito, I fell in love with the area, and we bought our first home in 1994.” Along with her career as a makeup artist, Ms. Lowe became an interior designer, working primarily with local clients. “I don’t travel around the state or across the country. I like my own little area,” she said. Her work has been featured on the covers of Architectural Digest, Veranda and California Homes.

In 2006, Ms. Lowe launched Sheryl Lowe Jewelry, designing bracelets, necklaces, pins and earrings that juxtapose glamorous materials like white gold, bone and pave diamonds with modernchic leather wrap bracelets, hand-hand-hewn rings and punkinspired curb-chain bracelets and chokers. Prices range from $400 to $12,000. Best sellers are the gemstone beaded bracelets. “The whole concept of the brand is stacking and layering textures and colors without creating a Bohemian look. I lean toward the classical with an edge,” said Ms. Lowe. “Gemstones are my favorite material to work with because they have all the elements of the earth, which inspire me. I’m not a hippie, but I do love nature and the blessings it has to offer. I get to wear the blessings, which is the icing on the cake.” She said her jewelry business “took off’’ after her best friend Maria Shriver, then married to the governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, asked her to design pins for participants at a Women’s Conference.

“I was inspired by a necklace I had seen the month before while on a photo safari in India. It was made of ebony and pave diamonds and set in sterling silver and symbolized a female warrior,” said Ms. Lowe, who added, “Giving back is central to what I do. I believe all of us have a responsibility and a privilege to help those around us in any way we can. “Recently, I had the privilege to design some special pieces that directly benefit the Women’s Alzheimer’s Movement, an organization run by Maria that is focused on understanding why Alzheimers disproportionately affects women through research and advocacy. “I am selling the bracelets in my store and on my website, and I hope that people can feel good about buying a piece that does good in the world, is beautiful, and maybe even be a memorial to a loved one.” As CEO and chief creative designer for Sheryl Lowe Designs, she oversees 22 employees at a workshop in a Montecito office building. “I’m having the best time at the pop-up, which I plan to keep open until the end of January, but it could be longer. I’m testing the waters,” she said. “Even though it’s temporary for now, I had Kyle Irwin from Field+Fort design the interior, which is fabulous. This is my hometown. I wanted it to be special. It’s a great hangout.” email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

PET of the WEEK Cat Middleton

H

er Royal Highness will now see you. Cat Middleton, the Duchess of Kanbridge, is awaiting her new castle at the Santa Maria Animal center. Cat is a 10-year-old cat with feline immunodeficiency virus, but she doesn’t allow that to define her. She’s currently living in a community cat room with three other felines and gets along with them well. She likes to spend her days napping in a cozy nook, but perks up to greet her royal subjects. Cat would love to be an indoor princess in a quiet, relaxed home with a special someone with whom she could curl up. To find out more about Cat, contact the Santa Maria Animal Center, part of Santa Barbara County Animal Services, at 805934-6119, ext. 6. Cat’s adoption is being promoted by the Santa Barbara County Animal Care Foundation, which encourages adoptions this holiday season. If you can’t adopt, the foundation encourages you to consider fostering a pet or volunteering at your local shelter. The foundation provides

Animal Services’ operations modified By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Santa Barbara County Animal Services has changed its operations in response to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s recent stay-athome order.

Stray intakes will be limited to dogs, sick or injured cats, and underage kittens. “The public is strongly encouraged not to pick up healthy stray cats and bring them to the shelter,” according to Animal Services. All measures will be taken to return animals to their owners in the field instead of impounding them, Animal Services said. The agency, which is part of the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department, said surrenders of animals by their owners will be by appointment and only in the case of an emergency.

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS

Horoscope.com Wednesday, December 9, 2020

ARIES — You could be feeling especially sociable today. Maybe there’s a virtual party of some kind you want to be invited to. You could hear some good news, and there is probably some truth to it, but take everything you hear through the grapevine with a grain of salt. Not everything you hear is based on fact. If you can, go to someone in a position to know and find out from him or her. TAURUS — You’re feeling especially loving, attractive, and romantic, so romance is likely to be on your mind. Romantic novels and movies could seem especially appealing. If you’re currently involved, you will probably receive a lot of attention from your mate. If not, expect to receive admiring glances from those around you, including strangers! You could meet a potential date but take care to get to know this person before getting too excited. GEMINI — An increased level of ESP and imagination could have you feeling more creative and artistic. You might want to channel this energy into writing, painting, or adding touches to your living room. You’re likely to be especially attuned to the thoughts and feelings of others, particularly family. You could grow closer, especially if you sense what they need even before they do. CANCER — An attractive neighbor with whom you seem to share a bond could become a friend. A group you’re affiliated with could be expressing highly idealized goals and purposes. These goals are likely to be admirable, Cancer, but they may not be all that realistic. Bear that in mind before committing to any course of action. You need more facts before you can proceed. LEO — Dreams of a new career could fill your mind today, perhaps because of too much stress in your current one. You might even think of becoming a movie star! Go for your dream if you feel it’s what you want, Leo. Remember that any moneymaking enterprise, no matter how creative, is still a business. Make use of your natural business talent to find out what you need to know. VIRGO — Spiritual goals may be at the top of your priority list now, Virgo. You may be looking for online metaphysical seminars or meditation workshops, perhaps taking place in a distant state or foreign country. You’re likely to find it difficult to make a decision about any options right now. +*#!2 +1$)"$ Whatever you’re considering, make

sure you know all the facts before making a choice of any kind. LIBRA — Lovely dreams could spark your imagination and get your artistic abilities going. You could learn a lot about yourself and whatever has been limiting you. Write down whatever comes your way so you can work with it later, but don’t try to make sense of it today. Wait a while and then consider everything in a more practical light. You may be surprised at the difference in you. SCORPIO — A new friend could arrive today, Scorpio. You’re probably going to like this person very much. He or she probably shares many of your interests. You could become close friends. The downside is that you aren’t likely to see anyone as they really are, only an idealized picture. When you meet this person, try to see the real person behind the mask and accept them as they are. SAGITTARIUS — If you’ve been thinking about a job change or even a new career, a chance interaction could provide the opportunity. However, Sagittarius, remember, “If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.� Get the facts as clearly as you can. Consider all the ins and outs before committing yourself or getting too excited about it. If you still want to pursue the opportunity, go for it. CAPRICORN — A journey by air to a distant place might be on your mind, though you might not make it for a long time. Knowledge is important to you, and you can be insatiably curious. This is likely to be one of those days, Capricorn. A friend or lover could bring some new information that sparks your curiosity, perhaps something related to astrology or the occult. You will want to pursue it. AQUARIUS — The desire to beautify your home could hit you full force today, Aquarius. Perhaps you’re expecting future visitors or house guests and want to make a good impression. You could prowl through online antique stores looking for knickknacks. You might set your sights on doing something a bit more ambitious than you originally planned. Enjoy yourself but be careful. You don’t want to tire yourself out. PISCES — A new neighbor could arrive who you feel especially drawn to, Pisces. You might have high hopes for a friendship with this person. He or she may seem especially congenial and share a lot of your interests, and this could seem almost too perfect. However, you’re in just the mood to idealize new relationships, so don’t get too excited until you get to know this person better.

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.

Col. Chuck Yeager made a world of difference with the first supersonic flight.

The original ‘fastest man alive’ leaves inspiring legacy By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

It’s safe to say no one changed the world faster than Chuck Yeager. The pilot became the first human to break the speed of sound. In that quick moment in 1947 in his plane, Col. Yeager opened up the heavens and set the horizon for a space program that landed the first man on the moon. Col. Yeager has left a legacy that puts his name right up there with astronauts Alan Shepard, John Glenn and Neil Armstrong. Like them, he had the right stuff. Charles “Chuck� Yeager died Monday. He was 97. Col. Yeager was born Feb. 13, 1923, in Myra, West Virginia, and moved to Hamlin, a town of 400 people when he was 5. He was an average student more interested in hunting and fishing than his studies, according to chuckyeager.com. But Col. Yeager shared another interest with his father, Albert Hal Yeager: machines, from generators to pumps. He credited his dad for helping him to understand them and repair them. By the time he was a teenager, Col. Yeager could disassemble and reassemble Chevrolet engines. At Hamlin High School, Col. Yeager’s best subjects were geometry and typing. After graduating in 1941, he enlisted in the Army Air Corps and later served in the Eighth Air Force, which was equipped with the acclaimed P-51 Mustang fighter plane. Col. Yeager flew a P-51B, which he named Glamurus Glen after his fiancee, Glennis

Faye Dickhouse. In 1944, Col. Yeager started World War II combat missions. On his eighth combat mission, he was shot down, but avoided capture with the help of the French underground. He rejoined his unit in England and went on to achieve aerial victories in his P-51D. As a test pilot, Col. Yeager flew his way into the history books by breaking the speed of sound in his X-1 craft in 1947. He made it Mach 1.06, flying at an unprecedented 700 mph. Col. Yeager earned the title of “the fastest man alive.� In 1954, he took command of the 417th Fighter Bomber Squadron, stationed in Germany and later France. In 1961, Col. Yeager became deputy director of flight test in 1961, working at Edwards Air Force Base. The next year, he became commander of the new U.S. Air Force Aerospace Research Pilot School, designed to prepare military test pilots for spaceflight. Thirty-seven of its graduates were chosen for the space program, and 26 became astronauts in the Gemini, Apollo and space shuttle programs. Although Col. Yeager never made it to space, he mentored an entire generation of spaceflight pioneers. His place in history was noted in Tom Wolfe’s 1979 bestseller about the early spaceflight, “The Right Stuff,� which was adapted as a 1983 movie. In 1982, Col. Yeager celebrated the 35th anniversary of his first supersonic flight by flying a Northrop F-20 at Mach 1.45. The right stuff indeed. email: dmason@newspress.com

30th Space Wing commander: ‘Vandenberg is space country’ VAFB

Continued from Page A1 to Air Force Secretary Barbara Barrett. “As we highlighted in our August 2020 letter to you, we continue to believe that Vandenberg’s existing spacerelated missions and assets, along with its proximity to the Space and Missile Systems Center at Los Angeles Air Force Base, would offer Space Command unique and unparalleled advantages,� Rep. Carbajal and Sen. Feinstein wrote Ms. Barrett. “As the West Coast defense and commercial space launch site, Vandenberg already offers a highly-qualified workforce for aerospace engineering, and the local community is eager to welcome Space Command to the area,� the lawmakers said in their letter. “In 2019, the Air Force selected Vandenberg as one of three finalist locations, in addition to sites in Alabama and Colorado,� Rep. Carbajal and Sen. Feinstein wrote. “We understand that the governors of Texas and Florida protested the Air Force’s decision because they claimed the selection process was unfair, prompting a new evaluation this year of bases nationwide,� the lawmakers noted. “During that process, Vandenberg was cut from the list of six finalist locations, but sites in Alabama and Colorado remain in contention while bases in Texas and Florida were added to the list, as well as bases in New Mexico and Nebraska.� Rep. Carbajal and Sen. Feinstein requested that the

Air Force provide Vandenberg’s scores for evaluation factors and how the scores compared to other bases. “We also request that you provide precise details about how the evaluation factors and criteria changed between the selection processes in 2019 and 2020,� they wrote. Vandenberg has served as the launch site for everything from satellites to tests for the Falcon 9, the reusable rocket now being used to launch SpaceX on its missions to the International Space Station. Experts see Vandenberg’s development as a thriving spaceport and headquarters for Space Command as a significant boost to an economy hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. “We believe in totality, that it would be on the order of thousands of (new) jobs, both locally and statewide,� Andrew Hackleman, vice president of Regional Economic Action Coalition, told the News-Press in August. Mr. Hackleman and other officials were excited at that time about the possible headquarters, which seemed like a natural to them given Vandenberg’s history with space. “Vandenberg is space country,� an upbeat Col. Anthony Mastalir, 30th Space Wing commander at Vandenberg, told the NewsPress and other media in August. During a virtual news conference, Col. Mastalir noted that the criteria for the final selection for Space Command includes factors such as the cost of living and quality of schools. email: dmason@newspress.com

Gaucho women make delayed Westmont adds games, with its men and women both in action today debut today at No. 11 UCLA By MARK PATTON

NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Westmont College will be taking on the City of Irvine in games that it’s added to both its men’s and women’s basketball schedules. The Warrior women, who had Friday’s game against Simpson canceled by the COVID-19 pandemic, will make up the lost contest by traveling to Big West Conference member UC Irvine today for a 4 p.m. game. Westmont’s men, who’ve had two recent games canceled including Friday’s exhibition at Pacific, are adding Concordia College of Irvine as a countable game on Friday at 6 p.m. They are playing their regular-season opener at home tonight at 6 p.m. against La Sierra. The game will mark the coaching debut of Landon Boucher, who is taking over for long-time head coach John Moore. His Warriors did play an exhibition against Big West member Cal State Northridge, losing 97-79. Boucher earned a master’s degree in coaching and athletics administration from Concordia, while NAIA All-American Abram Carrasco nearly transferred to Concordia from Pima C.C. last year before choosing the Warriors. The Westmont men hold a 3432 advantage all-time in games between the two schools, dating back to 1987 when Concordia was called Christ College. Concordia, a former GSAC member, now plays in the NCAA Division II and is a member of the PacWest Conference. The Warriors will conclude their non-conference schedule with a home game against William Jessup on Dec. 19 at 2 p.m. Westmont’s women lost their regular-season opener last week to Division 1 Pepperdine, 68-56. Coach Kirsten Moore’s Warriors

UCSB will be three games late and four players short when it opens its basketball season today at No. 11 UCLA, but you won’t hear any complaints from the Gauchos. “We get to play, that’s what we’re excited about,� said Bonnie Henrickson, who is starting her sixth season as UCSB’s head coach. “I’ve been checking women’s basketball scores to see how former assistants and friends are doing, and it’s like 14 games a day are being postponed.� “Our players have been here since September, so they’re just excited to play a game, It will be a morning debut, with today’s tipoff at Pauley Pavilion coming at 11 a.m. The Gauchos were forced to cancel their first three games when a member of their staff tested positive for COVID-19. Henrickson said the team has put the disappointment behind them. “I’d feel differently if it had been a case of being reckless rather than just really bad luck,� she said. “No one has any idea how it happened. “All we know is that we’ve got to control what we can control and do what we’re supposed to do.� Three Gauchos including Ila Lane, a 6-foot-4 center who led the nation in rebounding last year, have opted out of the season over concern for the coronavirus. And while senior guard Aliceah Hernandez has resumed workouts after offseason knee surgery, she’s still not cleared to play. That leaves UCSB with just eight players for today’s game.

Thunderdome upgrade continues with $6 million in improvements By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Twas mere weeks before Christmas, and all through UCSB’s house, not a basketball fan was stirring, not even a mouse ‌ although some construction workers were scurrying around. The university has continued to upgrade the Thunderdome even while the COVID-19 pandemic has forced it to ban spectators from its basketball games. A practice court is now being built on the mezzanine level of the student section, with retractable chairback seating to be added after its completion. The $3 million in improvements add to several other projects which have already been completed. UCSB has raised $6 million altogether to remodel the Thunderdome. “We’ve benefitted from some very gracious donors who have become our great friends and tremendous supporters of our program,â€? UCSB men’s basketball coach Joe Pasternack said. Gaucho benefactors have included Jeff and Judy Henley, Mike Stewart, and Jay and Marsha Glazer. Upgrades already completed at UCSB’s 6,000-seat, basketball and volleyball arena include chairback seating in the reserved section, a media room, renovated locker rooms, and a 50 foot-by-15 foot, 4K ultra-high definition video board. “It’s one of the biggest and best video boards in the West,â€? Pasternack said. “We’re taking our facility, the Thunderdome, to another level. When you’re recruiting, having updated facilities is huge. “You can’t build a first-class program without incredible boosters and supporters, and during our first three seasons here we’ve been incredibly fortunate to have made such terrific friends.â€? The Thunderdome is also home to many student activities, concerts and community events. Donors have also helped upgrade the weight room in the

Intercollegiate Athletics building. “These latest gifts really help every student, not just the basketball players,� Pasternack said. He noted that Mike Stewart, donor for the video board, started rooting for the Gauchos when he was a UCSB student. “He became a huge fan while watching Jerry Pimm coach those great teams, and having him as a friend and a supporter has been so huge for us,� Pasternack said. “Jay and Marsha Glazer live here and both their daughter and sonin-law attended UCSB. They’ve become such great friends and supporters, too, in getting the practice court built. “I’ve been fortunate to get to know Jeff and Judy Henley, too. They’ve donated the chairbacks to make the facility a much better place for the fans. We’re going to eventually have chairbacks throughout the entire Thunderdome. “It takes an entire community to make the Gauchos Santa Barbara’s team, and these three families along with many others in the community have really helped us build our program.� He said athletic director John McCutcheon took great interest in improving the facility when he hired him as coach in 2017. UCSB also broke ground last month on a new $5.25 million tennis stadium, thanks to the

donation of John and Jody Arnhold. Lights, meanwhile, were installed at Caesar Uyesaka Stadium last year to enable the Gaucho baseball team to play night games. A consortium of donors including The Gretler Foundation, The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians Foundation, and Julie and Paul Candau gifted Athletics with $1.3 million for the project. The Gretler Foundation has also supported the Thunderdome and Arnhold Tennis Center projects. “Donor support particularly in this turbulent time is extremely important to maintain the momentum that has been created over the past few years,� McCutcheon said. “As an example, the stability that is provided by the Stewart Family Fund for Basketball has been immeasurable and we are extremely grateful to Mike Stewart, Jeff and Judy Henley, and Jay and Marsha Glazer for their vision and commitments. “All of these facilities will have a huge impact on our studentathletes experience. With enhanced facilities, we will be able to recruit a high caliber of student-athlete, have a high level of opponents competing at UC Santa Barbara and deliver an improved fan and community experience at our home events.� email: mpatton@newspress.com

Adam: ‘We shouldn’t be lumped in with any other county’ COVID

Continued from Page A1 regarding the county’s placement in Southern California and the stay-at-home orders. 4th District Supervisor and Vice Chair Peter Adam was especially vocal and said the county should “refuse to comply with these mandates.” “I think under the circumstances, where our death statistics are really no different than the flu, it has become patently unreasonable to support and enforce those unreasonable, draconian lockdown measures. At some point somebody has to say enough is enough, and it should be us now,” he said. He added that not only should Santa Barbara County not be included in the Southern California Region, but that it shouldn’t be included in any region at all. “We shouldn’t be lumped in with any other county. We have

a region, it’s called a county,” he said. 5th District Supervisor Steve Lavagnino was supportive of the letter but suggested changing it so Santa Barbara County becomes part of the Central Coast Region without having to wait out the three-week stayat-home order. “Our letter should be expressing to the governor that we do not belong in the Southern California region,” he said. 3rd District Supervisor Joan Hartmann remarked that considering Santa Barbara County’s population has shown “compliance and support” for Public Health orders, its inclusion in the Southern California Region and getting placed under a stayat-home order is like “being punished for having behaved well.” During the meeting’s COVID-19 update, Dr. Do-Reynoso shed some light on Santa Barbara County’s COVID-19 hospitalization

data. There are currently 54 COVID-19 hospitalizations in the county, of which 15 are in the ICU. Over half, 53%, of COVID-19 hospitalizations have been 50 years old or older, and most COVID-19 deaths, 64%, have been adults 70 or older. While 53% of Santa Barbara County’s COVID-19 hospitalizations have been female and 47% have been male, most COVID-19 deaths, 57%, have been male. Hispanic and Latino individuals have been disproportionately hospitalized due to COVID-19 and disproportionately died from it. According to Public Health figures, they are 48% of the county’s population but make up 71% of the county’s hospitalizations and 56% of its deaths. Most of the county’s COVID-19 hospitalizations, 58.3%, have had short stays of between zero and five days. 15.8% of

hospitalizations have been greater than 16 days. Over half of COVID-19 hospitalizations in the county had at least one comorbidity, diabetes the most common and obesity the second most common. Most COVID-19 deaths in Santa Barbara County, 114, involve both COVID-19 and comorbidities, whereas only 24 list just COVID-19 as a cause of death. In other business, the board approved the adoption of its 2021 legislative platform, amendments to the land use development codes of the County and Montecito regarding telecommunications facilities, and budget development policies for the 2021-2022 fiscal year. It also received an update on the 3CE Community Choice Energy program and the annual TRUTH Act report regarding United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s access to individuals. email: jgrega@newspress.com

Gauchos will look for post players to avoid foul trouble UCSB

Continued from Page A7 the Bruins poised for a big season. They went 26-5 last year and were set to play host to the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament when the COVID-19 pandemic canceled the rest of the season. Close, who is in her 10th season as the Bruins’ head coach, improved her record to 200-105 with a win last week at Arizona State. UCLA’s lone loss in three games this season came at No. 7 Arizona. The Gauchos will battle the Bruins with a lineup that features just one player — 6-4 Natalia Bruening — who stands even 6-feet tall. She’ll start on the post along with Lauren Lee, a 5-11 senior. “Whomever fouls first will also be the first to come out,” Henrickson said. “We don’t have depth at either of those positions, so Lauren is the backup five. Both need to stay out of foul trouble.” Bruening averaged 9.9 points and 6.1 rebounds as a junior but was sidelined all of last season with an injury. UCLA (2-1) is strong in the post with 6-foot forward Michaela Onyenwere and 6-4 freshman Emily Bessoir. Onyenwere, who was voted to the Associated Press Preseason All-America team, averaged 18.9 points and 8.5 rebounds per game last season. Bessoir was named to ESPN’s Impact Newcomer List. Charisma Osborne, a 5-9 guard, is also strong on the backboards, averaging 5.8 rebounds last year to go with a 12.2-point scoring average. “The biggest concern (today) is how explosive they are in transition and the physicality they bring on the offensive glass, from the one to the five,” Henrickson said. “They even have fives bringing the ball up the floor, and defending that in transition and getting matched up is unique.

“In their first three games, they’ve scored a lot of transition points and offensive-rebounding points. That’s a big chunk of their scoring.” Two Gauchos coming off redshirt seasons — 5-9 Doris Jones and 5-7 Bri Anugwom — have added some athleticism to the team’s roster. Jones, who started her career at the University of Houston, transferred to UCSB last year after earning first-team All-State JC honors in 2019. She scored more than 1,000 points during two seasons at Diablo Valley Community College. Anugwom averaged 8.6 points and 5.2 rebounds for the Gauchos as a sophomore but missed last season with a knee injury. “Doris has been making the transition, not only creating for herself but also for others,” Henrickson said. “And it’s good to get Bri back. She was out with an ACL, and we need to get her back into the flow. “She’d been cleared and working out on her own during the summer.” The Gauchos will be led by 5-7 senior Danae Miller, a two-time All-Big West Conference point guard who averaged 13.5 points and 4.0 assists last year. She’s also taken two freshmen guards under her wings: 5-8 Anya Choice of Santa Rosa and 5-9 Alyssa Marin of Camarillo. “Danae has been looking really good,” Henrickson said. “Anya is a playmaker, creating shots, and moving and handling the ball. “Alyssa has been impressive in getting us into transition. She’s played a lot of catch with her brother (Michael), who was a high school quarterback, and she looks like a quarterback at times with the way she can throw and advance the ball up the floor.” The Gauchos could get more help. The NCAA Council will vote on Dec. 16 on a proposal to give transfers immediate eligibility. UCSB has a pair of tall shooters
