Two groups discuss Parking Lot 3 preservation vs. new hotel

It looks like an ordinary parking lot, a rectangular slab of asphalt with the innocuous name of Parking Lot 3 — separated from others of its ilk only by its proximity to some railroad tracks running along the perimeter of downtown Carpinteria, and the plant and vegetable community garden right next door.

But there’s also its location, sitting just a few blocks from an ocean beach, making it a parking haven for locals and a heavy dose of tourists during the summer.

And right now, Parking Lot 3 is known mostly as the focus of a political debate slated to be resolved this Election Day. One group of residents is determined to preserve downtown open space by changing its zoning status to block a proposed twostory boutique hotel with rooftop pool and bar from being built on Parking Lot 3.

Another group opposing their

efforts is equally committed to allowing the normal planning process, city general plan and city council consideration to decide the issue rather than resort to city governance by ballot initiative.

And the debate is growing so heated that no one will notice the unofficial end of summer marked by Labor Day. Residents are concerned that the outcome could very well determine the future look and feel of the city’s picturesque downtown, with its mix of antique stores, retail shops and assorted restaurants, as well as affect the city’s reputation as a beachside community loaded with small town charm.

The first group, Save Our Downtown Open Space, fired the first salvo earlier this summer with a press release urging voters to sign its petition to place an initiative — Measure T2022 — on the Nov. 8 ballot to rezone the lot, located at Linden Avenue and Fifth Street, from general commercial to open space/ recreational.

At the time, the group said its focus was to stop the city from giving a well-utilized public property to a developer for private gain, saving downtown open spaces from traffic and congestion, protecting the community’s finite water supply, preserving the community garden, keeping mountain views for all to enjoy, and maintaining Carpinteria’s small town charm as well as the look and feel of its famed beach neighborhood.

The group enjoyed center stage for a few weeks, with letters of support written by various community members making the same talking points: Vote yes to protect Carpinteria’s public land, preserve downtown open space. save the community garden, prevent large-scale commercial development of the downtown, and perhaps most of all, keep Carpinteria small.

The Bulldogs didn’t do much on offense until midway through the second. On their third possession, linebacker Aneterea Lealao helped force a punt with a first down sack. The Milpitas, CA native had a standout performance, finishing with three sacks in his first game as a freshman.

The fourth time the Bulldogs had the ball though, they would need just two plays to score, as a 41-yard rush by Dior Kennedy was followed by a 30-yard breakout Please see SBCC on A4

The SBCC football team had its chances in its season opener against Allan Hancock Saturday at La Playa Stadium, but a 30 disadvantage in the turnover game and some big plays by the Bulldogs would see the visitors take a 21-10 win.

Sophomore quarterback Alex Johnson finished with 168 yards on 15-of-30 passing, but three interceptions including a costly one on a deflected pass at the goal line would keep SBCC out of the end zone until the final minutes.

Taking over as signal caller for the Vaqueros’ final drive, sophomore Trenton Luera was exceptional with his chances, going 7-for-10 for 85 yards and a touchdown to freshman wideout Ryles Buckley from 11 yards out.

In his first game with the team, sophomore Brandon Smith was a huge bright spot out of the Vaqueros’ backfield. He took the

lion’s share of handoffs, carrying the ball 16 times for 45 yards. He was a huge threat in the passing game as well, leading the team with six receptions for 80 yards.

Santa Barbara looked sharp on both sides of the ball to start the game. The defense forced punts on each of Hancock’s first two possessions, led by the activity of linebacker Amir Brown (9 tackles) and defensive lineman Jordan Tagaloa (4).

The offense got the Vaqueros in scoring position on its opening two drives. On third-and-10, Johnson hit sophomore wide receiver Chase Wells on his first pass attempt of the year. Wells looked sharp as he made moves past multiple defenders, taking a short pass for 37 yards. SBCC ended up with a 32-yard field goal attempt from Oregon State transfer Joe Bowman, but it went wide left leaving it a 0-0 game.

The Vaqueros went 11 plays on their next drive, with good runs

GAVIOTA - Firefighters responded around 2 p.m.

Sunday to a report of a pair of hikers having problems on Gaviota Peak after receiving a report of the female hiker suffering mild heat exhaustion.

Fireofficials said her boyfriend left to get help.

A Santa Barbara County helicopter rescued the female.

Resources were still looking for her boyfriend on the mountain.

A later update noted that firefighters requested a search dog be sent to find the stillmissing 29-year-old boyfriend, who was described as wearing khaki shorts but no shirt. “He may have been picked up for a ride,” said Capt. Scott Safechuck, the department’s public information officer.

He asked the public to contact law enforcement if they see a person matching his description.

At 6:18 p.m., Capt. Safechuck reported that someone might have seen the boyfriend walking southbound in the northbound side of Highway 101.

on the issue, including whether his opposition to Measure T is inconsistent with his earlier statement that he would leave it up to the voters.

Vice Mayor Al Clark, the only council member not to sign the statement, did not respond to an email from the News-Press seeking clarification of his views, including whether he supports the proposed zoning change or whether he endorses a hands-off position pending the Election Day vote..

The News-Press asked both sides to present their bottomline arguments, and give their opinions as to who the public should believe.

Ms. Sly told the News-Press that if Measure T passes: — “Carpinterians will be able to decide how public land is used.”

— “In keeping with the general plan, it will preserve the essential character of our small beach town.”

— “It will prevent the slippery slope of development.”

“We have substantiated facts with citations/references from meetings, submitted plans, cityauthored reports, and the like,” Ms. Sly said “Voters could factcheck for themselves, https:// parkinglot3.org. Voters could visit protectcarp.com. I trust the voters of Carpinteria to vote in the best interests of the community.”

Mr. Rodriguez told the NewsPress: “Four out of five of our elected leaders are voting No on T. …

Measure T is not a vote for or against the Surfliner, even if some folks want it to be. One does have to ask why they didn’t simply put ‘the Surfliner’ on the ballot?

“Governing by ballot is no way to run a city, “ he said. “The Carpinteria General Plan is what makes the area so attractive and has served us well for years.

Our elected officials have done a splendid job in preserving Carpinteria. A disagreement by some on a land use issue is no reason to throw out oversight by the planning department and replace it with uncertainty fed by rumors and incorrect facts.

“The only way to undo a zoning change by initiative is to launch another initiative. Do we really want to collect signatures every time we want to make a zoning change?” Mr. Rodriguez said.

“If Measure T fails, the city will still have final say on what happens with Parking Lot No. 3 (and Parking Lot No. 4),” he said.

“The process of permitting and building a hotel hasn’t even begun.

It’s heavy handed to change the city’s zoning to stop something that hasn’t been submitted or considered by city planning.”

As for post-Election Day, both sides agree Carpinteria will move forward with no animosity from one side toward another.

“At the end of the day, we are all Carpinterians. There are no villains in this story,” Mr. Rodriguez said. “There is no nefarious plan. This is a city-led and envisioned project, answered by local developers who dug the concept and felt they could help make the vision happen.

Said Ms. Sly, “This is not war.

These are opposing opinions.

Carpinterians are used to having different opinions. There will be disappointment on Nov 9 but healing will happen.”

group is an all-volunteer effort.

“They hope to build the hotel and profit from it,” she told the News-Press. “I do not think they will prevail on Election Day. The majority of voters are opposed to commercial development on public land. They would rather see the parking lot remain as it is. They understand that this kind of development is a slippery slope and Carpinteria would be changed forever.

“Once developed, there is no going back,” Ms. Sly said.

As for the council majority urging voters to vote no, she said they have made their position known for quite some time.

“They have consistently voted to move the project through the planning process.” She qualified her statement by noting, “That is not to say that they approve of the plans as they stand, just that they want the process to move ahead.”

Nevertheless, she insisted their opposition does not deal a death blow to the measure at all.

“Over 1,000 Carpinterians signed the petition to get Measure T2022 on the ballot. That gives you a good idea of the majority opinion on this,” she said.

In addition, she said, “there are some people who dislike using the initiative process because opposition to commercial development on public land was falling on deaf ears.”

Regarding the developers’ willingness to reduce the number of hotel rooms being proposed, she understands the figure dropped from 40 to 39. “Hardly significant,” she said.

In fact, Ms. Sly said, “the developer fails to say exactly how many rooms are being planned for.”

As for the community garden not being touched, she said the developers’ plans submitted to the city show that 60 feet of community garden will be impacted. “Now the developer is saying there are new plans that will not impact the garden. It is clear what is happening. The No side is looking at our arguments and addressing them by saying the plans have been changed. To date, no new plans have been submitted to the city. These supposed changes are not official.”

That’s true, according to Syndi Souter, associate planner with the city’s Community Development Department.

“To date, revised plans have not been submitted to the city,” she told the News-Press.

Mayor Nomura did not respond to an email from the News-Press seeking clarification of his views

to ensuring a vital downtown business district and protecting open space. No on Measure T is all about preserving our community by using existing tools that have proven capable and effective in keeping Carpinteria small, safe and, quite frankly, the envy of the world.”

Then in what could be a devastating blow to the Pro Measure T forces, four of five city council members issued a joint statement denouncing the initiative process, saying Measure T is unnecessary and misleading.

They said they’ve heard from homeowners, renters, local small business owners, environmentalists and longtime community leaders opposing Measure T. “We have heard outrage at the misinformation being distributed,” they said. “The only threat to the community garden is Measure T2022 itself. The garden is under no threat from any development and will continue to be enjoyed by the public.”

They claimed the initiative, if approved, would make General Plan changes that could lead to the replacement of the garden by multifamily housing. “It does not prevent development of Parking Lot 3 but instead allows for its development with high density multi-family residential development and does not protect views, conserve water or preserve our small town charm.”

In response, Ms. Sly said the public process so far has failed to address overwhelming public opposition to private development on public land. And she told the News-Press that the initiative empowers voters to determine the use of downtown open space.

She said it does not prohibit construction of new parking and insisted it will not lead to housing being built on existing land designated for open space.

“A Yes vote protects and preserves these public properties from private development,” she said.

Finally, the third step of the opposition’s well-coordinated public outreach occurred when the proposed hotel’s developers gave a public presentation in which they said they would decrease the number of rooms that would be built and revise their plans to completely spare the community garden.

Undaunted, Ms. Sly dismissed the three opposition moves in short order.

The Vote No campaign, she said, represents the developers and private interests, whereas her

Nomura wrote a letter criticizing the Save Open Space group for including his comments in a campaign ad making it appear as if he endorsed their position.

“That is not correct and is misleading,” he said. All he meant, he said, was that he was committed to letting voters decide the issue.

The comments, stated at an August 2021 special Carpinteria City Council meeting, read as follows: “I am definitely not opposed to the initiative, and I hope this goes forward ... We are here to be certain that all of the information is complete, and, for that reason, I feel it is important to move this action forward to make sure we gather enough information and give it to the public, for or against, so they are as informed as the rest of us.”

Annie Sly, spokeswoman for SOS, stands by the group’s decision to include his comment.

“It’s a direct quote from something he said,” she told the News-Press. “Those were his words.”

Nevertheless, SOS did not include his comments in future campaign ads.

But other than that, it was smooth sailing for the proinitiative forces, until one letter, then another, appeared blasting the Vote Yes on Measure T forces for misleading residents, that most of the mountain views will not only be preserved but enhanced by the hotel project, that the initiative could have “serious, negative impacts,” including allowing high-density housing on land designated for open space, and prevent an increase in parking spaces.

Opponents also insisted the hotel project will not only maintain but enhance the “small town charm we all enjoy,” thus claiming that issue as their own.

Then suddenly, just a few weeks ago, a well-organized opposition burst onto the scene, when a “Vote No on Measure T” group emerged, posting its own campaign ads and releasing its own press release announcing that a bipartisan coalition of local small business owners and community leaders had formed a “No On Measure T 2022” political action committee.

“No On Measure T will seek to defeat the deceptive and misleading Measure T on the ballot this November,” the group said. “No On Measure T contends that the campaign for Measure T has used misinformation to deceptively persuade voters to approve the measure.

“The more we looked at Measure T and the disingenuous messaging around it, the more we knew we had to act,” said Jason Rodriguez, principal officer of No on Measure T 2022. “This measure would upend the local decision-making process, so we will make sure every voter has the opportunity to fully understand the unmitigated disaster Measure T represents.”

The No on Measure T committee said that if approved, Measure T will threaten open space with housing developments and prohibit improvements at local parks and recreationzoned properties. Overall, the committee said, the measure would impose sweeping changes to how the city of Carpinteria plans and approves development proposals and has the potential to remove professional planners and elected representatives from the oversight and approval process that has been instrumental to protecting Carpinteria from overdevelopment.

“Carpinteria’s General Plan is the very reason we enjoy the last best beach community in California,” Mr. Rodriguez told the News-Press. “We can’t afford to gut the General Plan and eliminate the oversight and careful stewardship of our city, particularly when it comes

Westmont cross country opens season in Lagoon Invite

By JACOB NORLING WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

Westmont Men’s and Women’s Cross Country opened their season on Saturday when they traveled across town to compete in the Lagoon Invite, which is hosted by neighbor UCSB. Both clubs entered this fall ranked in the NAIA top25 preseason polls, with the Men’s ranked at #24 and the women ranked at #12.

For the men, an aggressive approach saw three Warriors finish in the top-five of the 8K. Leading the way was sophomore Andres Leon who finished as the race’s overall runner-up with a time of 25:19.40. UCSB’s Ethan Godsey won the race with a time of 25:02.11.

Coming in a moment after Leon was the club’s reigning All-American, Zola Sokhela, who finished fourth with a time of 25:30.07.

Garret Miller, in the first race of his senior year, finished in 11th place with a time of 25:50.41.

“The men took an assertive approach which led to good finishes, especially for the top-

three,” shared Westmont head coach Russell Smelley on the first official day of his 44th season. “Andres made an assertive move coming up on three miles to reconnect with the front pack.

“The energy he gained from being with the pack allowed him to work his way forward for the best race of his brief college career.”

Rounding out the top-five for the men was Danny Rubin, who came in 29th with a time of 27:26.88, and Damien Ureste, who came in 33rd with a time of 28:34.86.

On the women’s side of things, freshman Anne West had the most memorable race in her collegiate debut.

“The Warrior who most realized today’s challenge was Anne West,” offered Smelley.

“On the second mile she began to push herself to engage with the runners in front of her. On the final hill, she caught two runners with an intensity that was exciting to watch.

“She lamented not having a stronger kick at the finish because she had put so much effort into the second half of the race. I could only

smile at that and tell her that was the way it should be.”

West was the first Warrior to cross the finish line in 16th place with a time of 19:19.24.

Kari Anema was the next to finish in 17th place with a time of 19:35.65, followed by Landon Torres in 19th place with a time of 19:55.85.

The Hundley sisters rounded out the top-five for the Warriors, with Madden posting a time of 20:02.51, and Abigail finishing the race in 20:07.45.

Both squads return to action on Friday, September 9, when they’ll compete in the Vanguard Invitational. After that, the Warriors will compete in three additional regular season meets before competing in the GSAC Champions on November 5 in Rocklin.

By RON SMITH In a match-up of undefeated teams, #8 Westmont Women’s Soccer tallied three second-half goals to record a 3-0 shutout over UC Merced (1-1-1) on the Bobcats’ home pitch. Amarys Machado, Ande Siegel and Reese Davidson provided the scoring to help Westmont improve its record to 40. So far this season, the Warriors have outscored their opponents 13-1.

“UC Merced is a very dynamic, dangerous team that likes to catch you in transition,” said Westmont head coach Jenny Jaggard of the Warriors’ opponent.”

The Bobcats came out strong to start the game and nearly took the early lead. Trinidad Quiroz took a shot in the 13th minute that ricocheted off the crossbar and back into play. She fired again, this time on target, but was thwarted by Westmont goalkeeper Kailey Meyer who smothered the ball to end the attack. Meyer has not allowed a goal this season.

“Kailey came out on a couple of crucial moments off corners and had a couple of crucial saves that kept us in it today,” noted Jaggard.

At the first-half water break, midway through the opening frame, Jaggard made some adjustments to counter Merced’s attack.

“One of the changes we made was putting Karly Kingsley at right back,” explained Jaggard.

Merced’s left winger was physical

and fast so we put Karly there to challenge her. We also made some personnel changes, bringing in Katie DeMillo to help in the diamond.”

“I was really proud of their second-half turnaround,” noted Jaggard. “I was upset with them at halftime because we didn’t follow the game plan in the first half.

They did a good job of taking some constructive criticism and turning it into an excellent second-half performance. We had some of the best shot conversion percentage that this team has ever done with quality goals.

Westmont took four second-half shots and scored on three of them.

The first goal came in the 48th minute with Machado connecting from the top of the 18-yard box.

“Amarys set herself up with a good touch and buried it with a shot in a low corner,” reported Jaggard.

Machado’s goal was her first of the season and marked the eighth Warrior to score in just four games. It was the fourth goal of the sophomore’s career.

Westmont began to pull away in the 57th minute on Siegel’s second goal of the year.

“Ande’s goal was in the run of play,” described Jaggard. “We were doing a good job of moving the ball forward and she was in a really good spot. Grace Duckens dropped the ball back to Ande and she drove it from about 30 yards out on the right-hand side into the opposite netting.”

The Warriors put the game away in the 74th minute with the fifth goal of the season by senior Reese

Davidson.

“That may be one of the most fabulous header goals I have ever seen in the women’s game,” praised her coach. “She set up really close inside the box when Karly was getting ready to take the corner kick. Then she pulled out and the ball came right to her.

A defender challenged her, but she was in a position where she was able to attack and go forward into it. She arched her back and jumped so high that she got over the ball and drilled it downwards toward the goal line. It was a spectacular header.”

Davidson has now scored in three of the Warriors’ four games and has produced a remarkable shot percentage of .417 (five goals on 12 shots).

Jaggard was also impressed with the play of Olivia Gabelein, Katie DeMillo and Duckens.

“They created a lot for us. This is Olivia’s second game after recovering from an ACL tear. She is tremendously strong, holding balls and helping play develop.

In the last 15 minutes, she helped us kill the ball by taking it to the corner. They would have two or three defenders, but no one could strip her of the ball.

“Katie almost got a goal that would have been very exciting.

She made a diagonal run out of the midfield and was so close to getting on to the ball. Her moving and defending was so good.

“Grace Duckens deserves some credit for defending. She did a lot of work for us in the midfield that helped us keep the ball.”

Westmont women’s volleyball goes 4-0 in Omaha

By JACOB NORLING WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

Westmont Women’s Volleyball (6-2) competed in the final day of the Labor Day Classic on Saturday, and left with two more wins and a new wave of confidence. In the morning, Westmont defeated Grand View (Iowa) in four sets, and in the evening, Westmont swept #12 Bellevue, the tournament host.

“We put on our goal-board two weeks ago that we wanted to go 4-0 in Fullerton,” said Westmont head coach Ruth McGolpin, whose team split four games in last week’s tournament. “After our final match, I told the team that ‘God had a plan. This was the week we were meant to go 4-0’.

“I am super stoked on this team. It was an incredible team effort for the entire day. Today, we had the toughest matches we have had so far. One team was receiving votes, and the other was a top-15 team in the nation. We just played incredible.”

In the first match of the day the Warriors clashed with the Grand View Vikings (1-7), the team that eliminated them in the NAIA National Tournament in April of 2021. Against the Vikings, the Warriors came out swinging and took control early.

In the first two sets, the Warriors outscored the Vikings 50-28, winning the first set 25-11 and following it up with a 25-17 win. In the third set, Grand View successfully fought off a late run by Westmont to force a fourth set with a 25-23 win.

In the fourth set, the Vikings gave the Warriors all they could handle, never letting Westmont build more than a four-point lead. Twice, late in the set, Grand View was able to tie the score, as late when

they knotted things at 21.

However, while the Vikings could tie the Warriors, Westmont never once trailed during the set.

Eventually, Jessie Terlizzi’s 12th kill of the match ended it with a 25-23 win.

Along with Terlizzi’s 12 kills, Lexi Malone and Phoebe Minch each collected 13. Malone also led the Warriors with five blocks, while Kaili Hashimoto recorded a career-high 25 digs. Keelyn Kistner recorded 28 assists, while Alexa Shiner added 18 of her own.

“Kaili Hashimoto was amazing,” reflected McGolpin. “Our serving was great, our defense was stellar, and we just kept at it, from start to finish. As a team, our effort was incredible.”

In the second match, Westmont went up against the Bellevue Bruins (5-4), a team that advanced to the NAIA Quarterfinals last season.

In the first set, the Warriors put on their most relentless display of the tournament. While the opening game was back-and-forth between the two squads, the Bruins eventually built a 21-16 advantage.

Then, kills from Malone and Terlizzi book-ended a five-point run that tied the game at 21.

Moments later, the Warriors were down to their last breath with the score 24-23 in favor of Bellevue.

Again, however, Terlizzi came up clutch, this time tying the set at 24 with her fifth kill of the set.

With the game tied at 25, the Bruins committed a service error and an attacking error to give the Warriors a tone-setting 27-25 come-from-behind win.

The story of the second set came after Bellevue initially led 6-5. From there, the Warriors went on a Please see WESTMONT on A4

UCSB women’s volleyball earns win over Warriors return home begin conference play San Diego State after falling to Baylor toWESTMONT

By MICHAEL JORGENSON UCSB SPORTS WRITER

The UCSB women’s volleyball team competed in the final day of the Pepperdine Asics Classic in Malibu on Saturday, falling to the No. 9 Bears of Baylor University in three sets, 25-22, 25-20, 25-13, before defeating the San Diego State Aztecs in four, 25-18, 25-18, 2225, 25-16.

GAME 1: GAUCHOS VS NO. 9 BEARS UCSB (1-5) was the first team to put a point on the board. However, the Bears (3-2) would not go down easy. After eight points, Baylor pushed ahead, growing their lead to five at one point. The Gauchos weren’t ready to go down just yet, battling their way back into this first set, even tying the game at 17 a piece. But this nationally-ranked team wouldn’t let UCSB pull out the win. Baylor stole the first set from the Gauchos 25-22.

From there, the Bears came out in the second set on fire. They went on a three-point run before the Gauchos could get on the board.

The lead didn’t stop UC Santa Barbara. The Gauchos tied up the score at 12-12 to battle back in this second set. As the game continued on, Baylor grew its lead over UCSB, ultimately taking the second set 25-20.

At the start of the third set, both teams fought back and forth for the lead. Once they were 12 points into the third set, the Bears ran away with it. Baylor went on a nine-point

service run to pull themselves ahead of the Gauchos, resulting in a 25-13 loss in UCSB’s final game of the tournament.

Both Michelle Ohwobete and Tallulah Froley ended the match with eight kills apiece, hitting .158 and .222, respectively. Grace McIntosh and Megan Shimoda led the offense with each setter registering double-digit assists. In the back row, the Gauchos’ libero, Macall Peed, led the defensive efforts, ending the match with nine digs.

GAME 2: GAUCHOS VS AZTECS After dropping the first two points of the match, the Gauchos played some of their best volleyball of the young season the rest of the way against the Aztecs (2-4).

A 7-2 run in the opening set put UCSB up for good as the whole team pitched in with points.

The Gauchos’ third ace of the game gave them a 13-8 advantage, and they would later go up 20-13 on a kill by sophomore middle blocker Nia Correal. Ohwobete cleaned things up with her third kill of the early-going to seal a 25-18 opening set victory.

The second set would finish with an identical scoreline thanks to several key Gaucho runs.

After trailing 5-3 to start, they would go on a pair of 5-0 runs in quick succession to go up 147 on an ace by sophomore outside hitter Tasia Farmer. SDSU fought back to make it a 2-point game at 18-16, but UCSB answered with its third 5-0 run of the set capped by an Ohwobete ace. The talented junior once again capped

a 25-18 win with a set-winning kill to put the Gauchos up 2-0.

Looking for the sweep, UCSB found itself in a dogfight as neither team held more than a 3-point lead in set three. There were ties at each point from 17 to 21, but the Aztecs finally pulled away with three unanswered and went on to win game three 25-22.

The Gauchos would go for the kill in set four, jumping out to a 4-0 lead. They would blow the set open with a 7-1 run, and a Froley kill made it 19-7 for their largest lead of the night.

Freshman outside hitter Sophie Reavis later put the finishing touches to close the set with a 25-16 win.

Froley led UCSB with 13 kills (.375) to go with two blocks. It was a consistent attacking effort all-around, with six Gauchos tallying six or more kills. Correal finished with seven blocks. Ohwobete had eight kills, nine digs and a match-high four aces.

UP NEXT The Gauchos will be back in action on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 9 and 10, at New Mexico State for a series of matches. The match on Friday starts at 4 p.m. while the match on Saturday is at 10 a.m. Both contests will be streamed on ESPN+.

Vaqueros to hit the road for Saturday game at Orange Coast SBCC

Continued from Page A1

WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

On Saturday, the No. 8 UCSB men’s water polo team began its 2022 campaign at the Triton Invitational hosted by UC San Diego, splitting its season-opening games with an 18-8 win over Claremont Mudd Scripps and nearly coming back to upset No. 3 UCLA in a 7-6 defeat.

Redshirt freshman attacker Marko Maramica led the Gauchos (1-1) with five goals on the day.

He scored twice in the second quarter against the Bruins (2-0) to start a spirited comeback as the Gauchos erased a 4-0 deficit and remained tied into the final two minutes of the match.

Senior center Sam Nangle started the season strong with four goals in the win over Claremont Mudd Scripps, while Maramica and redshirt freshman attacker Brock Zamanian both recorded hat tricks.

run by JP Luketu to open the scoring.

The Vaqueros once again got the ball into the red zone, but a forced pass turned into another interception. After going run-heavy to start, the visitors finally took a deep shot on their first play after taking over. Quarterback Esekielu Storer made a convincing play action fake and loaded up, dropping a dime over the top to Jaleel Walker for a 63-yard touchdown, the longest play of the game.

Needing points coming out of halftime, Santa Barbara would threaten once again.

A 26-yard catch-and-run by Smith put them at the Hancock 26-yard line, but three straight incomplete passes would bring the field goal unit back out. Bowman converted

from 43 yards out for his first points as a Vaquero.

Unfortunately for the Vaqueros, they couldn’t keep the Bulldogs out of the end zone to start the fourth quarter and they took a 21-3 lead.

Luera entered the game with 5:56 remaining and immediately completed passes of 20 and 14 yards to Smith out of the backfield. SBCC would go pass on 10 of 11 plays before Luera’s touchdown to Buckley.

Up next for the Vaqueros are two road games, starting with a visit to Orange Coast next Saturday, Sept. 10. Kickoff will be at 6:00 p.m.

shell-shocking 10-0 run to take a 15-6 lead. Bellevue finally got on the board again to make the score 15-7, but the Warriors responded with another threepoint swing to go up 18-7.

Bellevue fought to make things interesting by the end of the set, but ultimately, Sara Krueger’s second kill of the set gave Westmont a 25-20 win, and a 2-0 set lead.

In the third set, Westmont was ready to start planning their happy flight. Once again, it was a run partway through the game that swung momentum, this time after Bellevue led 98. On this occasion, Krueger recorded another pair of kills during a 6-0 run that put Westmont up 14-9.

With the score 17-13, kills by Terlizzi, Ashley Boswell, and Taylor Distelberg, along with an ace from Hashimoto, capped one final run for the Warriors who at that point led 21-13.

Moments later, the night ended with a 25-17 win to cap off a 30 sweep, and a 4-0 weekend in Omaha.

“After the match, we did some sort of mosh-pit jump together in the middle of the court,” chuckled a proud McGolpin. “We played steady, after having to come from behind in set one, and then from there, we stayed level-

UCLA 7, UCSB 6 Game two provided a much greater challenge for the Gauchos, going up against a Bruin side that nearly earned a No. 2 national ranking in the Collegiate Water Polo Association preseason rankings.

That proved to be the case right out of the gates, as UCLA jumped out to a 4-0 lead five minutes into the second period. However, it was Maramica once again opening the scoring for the Gauchos, as he put away two goals before halftime to make it a 4-2 game.

Senior attacker Tommy Hawkins struck first early in the third, notching his second score of the day to bring UCSB within a goal, 4-3. The Gaucho defense continued to keep them in it, and at the 3:54 mark of the third, sophomore center Dash McFarland found the equalizer to tie it at 4-4.

The Bruins fired back to take a 6-4 advantage heading into the final frame. The resilient Gauchos came right back, as freshman Luke Redoutey scored for the second time in the day at the 7:02 mark to make it a one goal game.

With just under two minutes to go, Brosnan scored a timely goal to bring the teams level at 66. However, UCLA would score its only goal of the fourth quarter on the following possession, and UCSB was unable to find a third equalizer.

NEXT UP The Gauchos will be back in action tomorrow for two more games, opening the day at 8:15 a.m. against No. 5-T Long Beach State. Their second game will be against either No. 12 UC Irvine or No. 13-T UC San Diego.

The Dos Pueblos high football team lost to Buena on Friday in a 35-14 game.

Dos Pueblos got the scoring started in the first quarter, taking a 7-0 lead on a 62-yard pass play from QB Ryan Marsh to Brett Jones. That would be it for the team until the fourth quarter, however, as Buena would score four unanswered touchdowns over the next two quarters to secure a healthy lead of 28-7 going into the fourth. Both teams would score in the final period, with Marsh again connecting for a touchdown, this time to Cairo Rios.

Marsh ended the game having thrown for 212 yards and two touchdowns, while Jones had two catches on the night for 89 yards. Immanuel Trujillo contributed an interception, while Nicolas Bitar led the team in tackles.

Dos Pueblos now has a 2-1 record, but has begun league play 0-1.

SB cross country takes part in Gaucho Invitational The Santa Barbara High School cross country team competed at the Gaucho Invitational on Saturday, with the boys finishing second and the girls fifth out of 17 teams. Ventura finished first at the event, with Sadie Engelhart winning the girls race and Micha Grossman taking the victory for the boys.

“It’s fun when a local meet gets to see a kid of Sadie’s caliber. She’s one of, if not the top girl in the nation,” said Santa Barbara Coach Olivia Perdices.

The Santa Barbara boys managed 98 points in their second-place finish, finishing with 13 second spitting their top five runners, Cainan Birchan, Drew DeLozier, Blaise Snow, Andreas Dybdahl and Oliver Levine.

“The name of the game today was for those boys to pack together and run even tempo,” said Perdices. “They did exactly that. We’re in a good place for this early in the year. Cainan is a sophomore in his first high school race leading us across the line, which is pretty exciting.”

UCSB 18, Claremont Mudd Scripps 8 Santa Barbara was ready to go in its seasonopener against the Stags (0-2). Maramica scored twice and redshirt freshman attacker Will Coons added another to put UCSB up 3-0 a little more than two minutes into the contest.

The Stags fought back with three first quarter goals, but UCSB ended the opening period leading 6-3. Seven different Gauchos scored in the second period as they pulled away to head into halftime up 13-5.

UCSB’s lead would grow to as large as 11 goals on Shane Hoover’s final goal with 2:28 to go in the fourth.

Senior goalkeeper Danny Roland played the whole match, tallying five saves over the first three frames.

In the Bellevue match, Terlizzi led the Warriors with 10 kills, while Malone contributed with eight, and Krueger tallied six.

Minch collected five service aces, Kistner led the club with 17 assists, and Hashimoto again led the way with 14 digs.

“There’s no one that stood out to me, because everyone that stepped foot on the court was superb,” said McGolpin. “Sara Krueger had a couple key blocks, and Jessie was our fire today.

Overall, we were smart with our attacking as well. We definitely had them out-of-sorts.”

The Warriors flew home Sunday morning, and then, with high hopes, begin preparing for their Golden State Athletic Conference schedule. The Warriors have their homeopener in Murchison Gym next Saturday night at 7:00 p.m., when they host The Master’s in their first GSAC game of 2022.

“A new season has begun,” said McGolpin. “This tournament was the culmination of our pre-GSAC schedule, and now it’s time to move on to the next part of our year, and get focused on conference.”

A reception for the artist will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday.

Her work consists of oil and mixed media on sewn canvas, a new direction for the artist. Ms. Monks Hack often incorporates abstract geometries into her compositions, emphasizing edges and other linear elements.

“When I sew and then stretch the canvases, the edges are pulled off-kilter, an effect I want. So if the lines are crooked, that is why,” she said.

In “Piecework,” the artist has taken the edge a step further by sewing canvas pieces together to initiate the works’ conversation.

“The ‘patchwork paintings’ are a natural extension of my concern with geometry and patternmaking, of the picture plane and the edges of the things I see. I like to think of my paintbrush as a wand with which I animate objects, like a magician. The craft of transforming a two-dimensional surface into a three-dimensional world continues for me to be somewhat miraculous,” said Ms. Monks Hack, a contemporary Please see MONKS HACK on B4

ere is a great book, picked up in a flea market: “Zen and Japanese Culture,” a classic which has been through hundreds of printings in hundreds of languages. It is an easy book to value, because it has never not been pricey in the market since its first printing in 1938.

J.S.’s copy is from 1959 - the author Daisetz Suzuki writes in his preface that he begs the reader’s indulgence for not rewriting the book after many years. The book’s first title in 1939 was “Zen Buddhism and its Influence on Japanese Culture” (pub. Eastern Buddhist Society of Otani Buddhist University at Kyoto). Instead of rewriting the book, he explains, he includes three new chapters integral to understanding Zen: Swordsmanship, The Art of Tea and The Haiku. That’s because in the 1959 edition, Suzuki had become, as he says, enamored of the relationship between those topics and Zen, which he fits into a section which includes the Japanese love of nature.

The 1959 edition is lavishly illustrated with ‘tipped in’ plates; photos of rock gardens; paintings from the 600’s on up; photos of shrines; and one amazing undocumented painting of the Buddha entering Nirvana under the trees, where we see his mother Queen Maya with medicine and his disciple Mahakasyapa, both arriving too late. All of nature, human and non-human, mourns as the trees burst into flower. This is from the early 18th century This book has been an enduring classic mainly because of the way language is used to illustrate Zen; a first edition, 1938, will set you back $800. Even the Princeton paperback sells used for $40, because the book has been so readable for 84 years. The language is befittingly both simple and poetic as it describes 2,500 years of Buddhist history and relationship to Zen. Mr. Suzuki illustrates the concept of Zen with stories, such as this from Goso Hoyen (d 1104): “If you must ask what Zen is like, I will say it is like learning the art of burglary; The son of an aging burglar asks to learn the art. Thus, the father takes the son on a burglary, and in the night, locks his son into a large trunk, awakens the household, and

leaves, unnoticed, to return home.

The son lay in the trunk hating his father. He thought to make rat sounds; he was discovered, and fled, hoisting a huge stone into the well in the courtyard. In pursuit, the household flock around the well, looking deep into the dark waters for the drowning burglar.

Returning to his father’s house, he accosted his father, who said, “Son, don’t be offended, just tell me how you got out of it.” Which the son did, and then the father said: “There you are. You have learned the art.””

Mr. Suzuki comments on this parable: Satori (enlightenment) must be an outgrowth of one’s inner life, and not brought from the outside.

Why use art to illustrate Zen? Mr. Suzuki says: “the artist’s work is of free creation from intuitions directly … unhampered by senses and intellect. He creates forms and sounds out of formlessness and soundlessness.” And then the author makes the case that Zen is unique because Zen influences

every part of life, not just the spiritual.

The 1959 book is published by Bolligen Foundation, responsible for publishing books, like this one, which have had tremendous impacts upon culture since 1940, when it was founded by a husband and wife team. Over many years, the Foundation awarded Fellowships and gave an annual prize for poetry. The Foundation published 275 titles, its last one in 2002.

Notable individual titles include the Wilhelm/Baynes translation of the “I Ching,” or “Book of Changes”; D. T. Suzuki’s “Zen and Japanese Culture”; Vladimir Nabokov’s translation of Pushkin’s “Eugene Onegin”; Erich Neumann’s “The Origins and History of Consciousness”; Mircea Eliade’s “The Myth of the Eternal Return”; Isaiah Berlin’s “The Origins of Romanticism”; Gershom Scholem’s “Sabbati Ṣevi”; E. H. Gombrich’s “Art and Illusion”; and Kenneth Clark’s “The Nude.”

There’s a lovely little delicate, beautifully penned inscription from a friend named Shirley on the flyleaf of J.S.’ book: “To Ann: If your eyes see,/ and ears hear,/ not a doubt you’ll cherish/ How naturally the rain drips from the leaves!”

Throughout the book, Suzuki elegantly analyzes haiku such as this, and here is my favorite, a symphony in simple green after a rainfall: “A solitary frog drenched in rain/Rides on a Basho leaf,/ Unsteadily.”

The value of the flea market treasure is $100.

Dr. Elizabeth Stewart’s “Ask the Gold Digger” column appears Mondays in the News-Press.

Written after her father’s COVID19 diagnosis, Dr. Stewart’s book “My Darlin’ Quarantine: Intimate Connections Created in Chaos” is a humorous collection of five “what-if” short stories that end in personal triumphs over presentday constrictions. It’s available at Chaucer’s in Santa Barbara.

Diversions HOROSCOPE s PUZZLES

SUDOKU

Thought for Today

Taurus: Today your desire for sex and romance is going to receive a powerful surge, Taurus. Perhaps memories of past partners will come back to haunt you, or maybe a current love interest will look especially sexy now. You’re likely to be projecting glamour and sensuality, so don’t be surprised if strangers notice you.

Gemini: You’re spiritually inclined, Gemini, and today you could feel especially so. You might be attracted to online meditation groups or the study of the texts of various religions. You’re also likely to feel especially psychic, and you might experience some premonitions that actually come true.

Cancer: If you happen to be thinking about a particular friend today, Cancer, don’t be surprised if you hear from him or her. You’re especially attuned to telepathic messages, and you may send out a few. While you usually enjoy solitude, you might be more interested in communicating with others today.

Don’t fight the urge.

Leo: Sudden and unexpected changes could have you feeling a bit confused, disoriented, and doubtful about the future, Leo. Relax! The changes may be not only beneficial for your career but also for your finances. Don’t think those in authority haven’t noticed your skills and ingenuity.

Virgo: You should wake up feeling hopeful and optimistic about the future, Virgo. Your self-confidence is stronger than usual, and your enthusiasm is contagious. Success in joint efforts should have you glowing with satisfaction. You could even receive public acknowledgment of your efforts.

Libra: Today, Libra, you might turn to practices like meditation or psychic development. Some vivid dreams over the past few days may have brought up personal issues that you need to clear up in order to progress. You may pick up on the thoughts and feelings of others more strongly than usual.

Scorpio: A new romance may be in store today, Scorpio, perhaps with someone you’ve known for a long time, but you suddenly view in a new light. You could see a side of this person that you’ve never seen before, totally changing your perception of him or her. Any new relationship formed today shows a lot of promise of developing into a lifelong connection.

Sagittarius: You could be in a fanciful mood all day, Sagittarius, so you may not be too focused on this world. This is great for artistic or metaphysical studies, as well as being sensitive to others. Beware of a tendency to daydream when you should pay attention!

Capricorn: You’re intuitive by nature, Capricorn, and today you could almost be clairvoyant.

Obey your instincts today. Don’t let your rational mind get in the way. This isn’t the day to be logical! You can sense the needs of others, so you could earn some gratitude by giving them what they need without being asked.

Pisces: Pisces, a long-awaited letter or call could come from a love partner or beloved friend, bringing much happiness into your life. Don’t be surprised if the person needs a shoulder to cry on. You could experience some powerful psychic insights today, and this might be a bit frightening. Don’t let that get in the way of seeing these revelations objectively.

You might want to try painting, music, or poetry, but today it’s more likely that you’ll turn that inspiration toward your home. If you’re planning to refurnish or redecorate, this is the day to start.

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.

‘Getting to the way I paint was an intuitive process’ monks hack

realist painter with “an intense passion for all manifestations of art and culture.”

She has worked as an arts educator, fashion designer, comic book artist and children’s book illustrator, while maintaining her painting career — her “spiritual home.” Early travels to Europe, the Middle East, India and Nepal initiated her love of global culture, which she continues to explore.

“Beginning with conventional notions of the urban landscape and still life tradition, I often introduce the abstract geometry of the scene into the composition,” Ms. Monks Hack told the News-Press.

“Getting to the way I paint was an intuitive process — one intuitive step at time. Conceptual art, the notion of the integrity of the picture plane and the Ocean Park paintings of Diebenkorn seem to have stayed with me,” she said. “As a very young person, Vermeer was the first painter I couldn’t get enough of.”

A graduate of UC Irvine with a bachelor’s degree in studio art, Ms. Monks Hack and a friend began a successful clothing business, after which she studied at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles.

“I was working in the fashion industry when an opportunity to spend a year in Morocco arose.

At that point, fate diverged, and fashion was the road not taken,” she said. “Over the years, I have retained my love of sewing, of

patterns and piecing garments together. That, combined with the ‘conceptual art’ emphasis of my years at UC Irvine, ultimately evolved into the work of this show.”

Ms. Monks Hack, who has a master’s degree in humanities/ visual art from Cal State Dominguez Hills, taught art at all levels in Santa Barbara County public schools for more than two decades and at Allan Hancock

College and Brandman University before retiring.

A member of Lompoc Valley Arts Council, the Lompoc Valley Art Association and the Santa Barbara Art Association, she maintains an art studio on the central coast and continues to produce and exhibit her oil paintings.

“The underlying structure of our visual experience holds as much interest for me as how that

reality appears on the surface. I consider space an active entity and use it to interrupt the integrity of form, setting places and objects into motion in the mind. I hope to suggest the dimension and feeling of time. I hope that my viewers will read the paintings as they would poetry,” said Ms. Monks Hack. email: mmcmahon@newspress.com
