Local Republicans and Democrats couldn’t be of more different minds on the question of whether the 2020 presidential election was a free and fair one. Some of the media has declared democratic candidate Joe Biden as the winner, while President Donald Trump has instead filed lawsuits in key swing states alleging election impropriety.

Shane Bieber, seen here pitching for the Cleveland Indians this past season, was named the American League’s Cy Young Award winner on Wednesday. Bieber was a unanimous selection by the Baseball Writers of America.

By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Former UCSB pitcher Shane Bieber wound up as a sure thing during one of the most uncertain seasons of Major League Baseball.

Bieber, a fourth-round draft pick of the Cleveland Indians just four years ago, became the first unanimous pick for the American League’s Cy Young Award since Detroit’s Justin Verlander in 2011. He got the first-place vote on all 30 ballots, the Baseball Writers Association of America announced on Wednesday.

“Honestly, it was just a great time to be able to get the season in with so much uncertainty going around the league and nation,” Bieber said. “Just being able to get that season in and be able to do what we did as a club was special.”

The regular season was reduced from 162 games to 60 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Bieber was still able to win a league-

best eight games while pitching Cleveland to the American League playoffs. He won the American League’s Triple Crown of pitching by also posting the most strikeouts (122) and lowest earned run average (1.63).

Only five others besides Bieber and Verlander have been unanimous choices for the A.L. Cy Young: Johan Santana (Minnesota in 2004 and 2006), Pedro Martinez (Boston, 1999 and 2000), Roger Clemens (Boston in 1986 and Toronto in 1998), Ron Guidry (New York Yankees in 1978) and Denny McLain (Detroit in 1968).

“It means the world to me — It’s pretty incredible to join this group and be on this list,” Bieber said.

He is the second Gaucho to win the A.L. Cy Young Award. Barry Zito, a freshman All-American for UCSB in 1997, won the vote in 2002 after going 23-5 with a 2.75 ERA and 182 strikeouts for Oakland.

Former Biltmore employees sue hotel for separation pay

By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Some 150 former employees of the Four Seasons Biltmore Resort have filed a lawsuit against the hotel seeking separation pay.

According to a press release from Anticouni & Associates, the law firm representing the

employees, they are seeking separation pay from the Ty Warner-owned hotel, contending that its COVID-19 induced furlough that began in March 2020 effectively became a layoff when a corporate decision to remodel the hotel extended the furlough well into 2021.

In a phone call with employees on Nov. 3, Four Seasons

executives said they didn’t know when the hotel would reopen, and that it could stay closed until sometime in 2022.

Starting in July, employees became responsible for paying the full cost of their health insurance.

The lawsuit alleges that the furlough period constantly getting extended turned it into a

layoff because the initial reason for the furlough is not the same reason for which it has been lengthened.

Biltmore employees were originally told to not come to work because of the pandemic and their employment continued to be cut short when the hotel started undergoing a remodel.

The Santa Barbara Unified School District board received an update from district administrators regarding hybrid learning during its regular meeting Tuesday night.

Dr. Frann Wageneck, assistant superintendent explained the district’s response when a Santa Barbara High School student who participates in a sport on campus tested positive for COVID-19 Nov. 1. The students’ report was passed to her, and she contacted the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department.

The students’ cohort is currently under a 14-day quarantine.

Superintendent Hilda Maldonado sent a letter districtwide to alert all parents. In the future, letters will only be sent to families in the school affected.

This week, parents will confirm their family’s preference for in-person or remote learning. Last week, 25% of families indicated they’d like to remain in distance learning.

High school students are the group most likely to choose

distance; 29% preferred to remain home.

Preschool families are much more eager to return. Only 13% wanted to remain in the full distance model, reported early childhood education coordinator Daisy Ochoa.

Preschool students are able to return to school four days per week in January, with a day of distance learning Wednesdays.

When board members expressed concern for crowding in hallways in secondary schools, Superintendent Maldonado said each school will customize its plan. She is asking teachers to create a lesson plan with COVID19 safety at the forefront.

“It’s going to be everyone talking about COVID, like how we wear our masks,” she said.

She hopes that integrating it into the learning process will help make students mindful.

During the last meeting, hiring progress was off to a slow start. Dr. John Becchio, assistant superintendent of human resources, was optimistic this week about filling integral roles.

He hired four custodians, four paraprofessionals, two Please see plan on A4

While some of the national media projects Joe Biden as the 46th president of the United States, President Donald Trump has not conceded and has instead filed lawsuits in key swing states alleging election impropriety.

Not unexpected given the divided nature of American politics, local Republicans and Democrats couldn’t be of more different minds on the question of whether the 2020 presidential election was a free and fair one.

In an interview with the News-Press, Santa Barbara County Republican chairwoman Bobbi McGinnis said she has no

doubt that there was election impropriety, finding the large number of ballots that arrived in Pennsylvania after Election Day in favor of Mr. Biden particularly suspicious.

“Statistically, the numbers just don’t make sense that that many ballots would come in after the midnight hour,” she said.

Ms. McGinnis also cited whistleblowers such as an anonymous woman who worked as a poll worker in Nevada and released a sworn affidavit to the Trump campaign that has been submitted to the Justice Department. The anonymous woman appeared on Laura Ingraham’s Fox News show Please see reaction on A8

In addition, the council asked staff to come back within a year with data on how this affects the rental market.

Chipotle peppers Harvested as fully matured red peppers off the plants, then smoked to perfection, this new offering from Fred Ormonde of Ormonde Farms in Arroyo Grande is a must try.

These peppers deliver a nice layer of heat and smoky presence to your meals. This week I prepared a chipotle bean dish as the Fix of the Week of A4.

Chipotle peppers are commonly incorporated into Mexican style cuisine, and I have used them to make salsa and sauces. They’re also perfect in tacos or simply as part of a rice and bean plate.

Chipotle chilies can also be ground and combined with other spices to make the meat marinade “adobo.”

They’re currently available at the Saturday Santa Barbara and Wednesday Solvang farmers markets. Price is five for $1 or a dozen for $2.

Flor de Mayo Beans Grown, harvested and sold

by Two Peas in a Pod Farm of Arroyo Grande, this dried bean variety has a slightly smoky presence and becomes quite tender once cooked.

It also adds a nice rich bean flavor to the simmering liquid.

This heirloom pink bean is native to the southwestern most part of the U.S. and Mexico.

When harvested, these beans have a beautiful pink color, and as the harvested bean dries more, they will change to a pink-taupe color.

They’re available each week at the Saturday Santa Barbara farmers’ market. Price is $10 per pound for this unique find.

Arugula I must admit, it had been quite some time since I’d enjoyed this peppery leafy green, but lately I have been loving it on my sandwiches.

It’s also nice as the base of a salad tossed in a little olive oil with aged balsamic vinegar and shaved Parmesan-style cheese.

Arugula is a member of the nutrient-packed Brassica vegetable family. You can currently find freshly harvested arugula at all weekly Santa Barbara certified farmers’ markets from several local producers. Certified organic is available. Price averages $2.50/bunch or bag or $6 per pound when sold loose.

Lompoc Unified School District renovated an old welding shop into a gym for staff. It has been used more than 5,000 times in under a year.

Stretching teachers’ potential Lompoc Unified School District provides fitness center and yoga classes to staff

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

L

ompoc Unified School District doesn’t just provide physical education to the students. The staff can also get in a workout — without games like dodgeball or tag.

In August 2019, the district began offering free yoga classes to staff and converting a welding shop into a gym at the district’s hub. The gym has been used more than 5,000 times.

The program began when Superintendent Trevor McDonald, a fitness enthusiast himself, applied for grants. He hoped to secure funds to encourage wellness among students and staff.

“We are proud that we have been able to work with our philanthropic partners to provide opportunities for our students and staff to practice self-care and healthy habits,” he said in an emailed statement.

The equipment is a mix of brand new equipment and also a few gently used machines passed down from one of the high schools. Staff requested stationary bikes and a treadmill, so the district added those to the gym.

If anyone is intimidated or doesn’t know where to start, Superintendent McDonald will help them figure out how to use the machines.

“I’ve seen superintendents come and go over the years. I have never seen one who was more supportive of the complete wellness of our staff and students — and ‘complete’ meaning physical, mental and emotional well-being,” said Doug Sorum, director of maintenance and operations.

Sometimes, staff will jump rope on their breaks to get blood pumping before returning to their Please see fitness on A4

Some equipment was passed down from Cabrillo High School. Other machines were requested by staff.

“There’s no better way to change what you’re feeling than to come in here and spend 15 minutes,” he said. “And so for folks like Bree (Valla, deputy superintendent), and myself and several others administrators around here who are sometimes working 10- to 12-hour days, taking a little break and coming in here can really, really make the difference.”

They hope students can see the effects on staff.

“The better work environment we can provide for our staff, the more they will enjoy coming to work, the better morale will be and the better their own health will be,” Deputy Superintendent Bree Valla said.

“When you’re happy and working with kids and feeling good at work, the kids can see that, they can feel that, they can hear that. Or I guess, in this case, they can see it through a computer screen,” she said.

Through partnership with Santa Barbara nonprofit Audacious Foundation, Lompoc Unified provides bicycle, swimming and track to students. There are around 60 bicycles and helmets at each elementary school, including tricycles and adult-sized bikes.

The district was even able to lay gopher-proof mesh on elementary school playgrounds and Huyck Stadium.

The area of the fields renovated by the district is enjoyed by the community.

Baseball and softball teams flock to that area first when they practice.

The students also enjoy food cooked from scratch. The district secured a grant from the Orfalea Foundation that funded a renovation of the central kitchen and refreshed school gardens.

“So students have an understanding of where their food comes from and healthy eating, and they get to eat fresh food out of the garden,” Ms. Valla said. “For many, it was their first time ever having kale grown in the garden.”

The district is currently serving free breakfast and lunch to every student through Dec. 31. Parents can pick it up at any location and bring it home.

Although the students aren’t riding around on the bikes or participating in swim class during the COVID-19 pandemic, the wellness initiative is still active.

The yoga classes held by Honey Fly Yoga are still twice a week, just held virtually.

And staff can use the fitness facilities and are provided sanitizer for the equipment.

They look forward to reopening the fields to the community someday and maybe even playing some dodgeball.

his very pleasing smoky aroma hit me when I rounded one of the aisles at this past Saturday’s farmers market in downtown Santa Barbara.

As I scanned Fred Ormonde’s stand, I initially got a visual of his vine-ripened tomatoes, onion and shallots, and then a diverse selection of sweet and spicy peppers.

Some of these peppers reach heat levels that even I usually give a hard pass to.

At the very end of his booth, next to containers of popping corn, were two shimmering trays of blackened peppers, the obvious source of the smoky aroma. The underlying skins red, with clearly charred blistered skins, these smoked jalapeño and Serrano chilies were surely coming home with me.

Transforming from green to their more mature stage of red on the plants, these late season jalapeño and Serrano chilies are ideal for transforming into wonderful chipotle peppers.

Ideal for adding a semi-spicy and smoky layer of flavor to your meals, they are most commonly incorporated in Mexican-style cuisine.

These peppers can be easily incorporated into soups, stews, rice or bean dishes, turned into salsas and sauces, or submerged into olive oil to produce a nice chipotle flavored oil to garnish your food.

This week, I prepared some slow-cooked dried beans, incorporating the chipotle peppers.

I started with two of the smoked Serrano chili peppers in the batch, which seemed to provide a medium level of heat.

I then diced another and added some to my final bowl for a little

extra boost since I am quite fond of spicier food.

You can really use any dried bean you prefer, although I went with some of Two Peas in a Pod Farms “Flor de Mayo” beans, which complement the chipotle peppers quite nicely.

Chipotle Beans 2 cups dried beans 2-3 chipotle peppers, chopped (you can also leave whole if preferred) 5 cloves garlic, minced 1 medium onion, finely diced ¼ cup brown sugar 1 teaspoon ground cumin Salt and pepper Water Fresh cilantro leaves to garnish You can do this in a pot on the stovetop or use a slow cooker. I used the slow cooker for convenience. I pre-soaked my beans overnight before cooking, although a couple of hours would also be sufficient.

Rinse presoaked beans and add to the slow cooker or pot.

Then add chipotle peppers, garlic, onion, brown sugar, ground cumin, and a liberal seasoning of salt and pepper.

Fill the pot with water until about 2 inches of liquid is above the beans. Mix to incorporate seasoning.

Cover and cook on high for about 3-4 hours or low setting at about 6-7 hours. Simmering the beans on the stovetop would take about an hour and half. The beans should be tender when done.

Serve these beans as a side or in a bowl with some of the liquid, garnished with fresh cilantro.

Add additional seasoning to taste as needed.

Yield: Serves 8 sides.

Lompoc Unified to partner with Gateway LOMPOC — The Lompoc Unified School District is partnering with Gateway Educational Services to provide additional support outside of the classroom for black students.

Through the partnership, Gateway will provide one-on-one and small group tutoring for 20 black students in third through seventh grades to help them reach grade level. In addition, parents will be provided support in how to best advocate for their children and become more involved in their educational experience, according to a news release.

He predicts staff may have to take on additional roles, like office staff helping schools perform health screenings.

So far, fewer staff members requested leaves of absence than he estimated. He thought 82 classified staff members would request the accommodation, but only 17 did.

A total of 16 secondary teachers requested a leave, compared to an estimated 33.

One extra elementary teacher requested leave than he expected, though.

Food services should remain similar in January. Sack lunches for distance learners will be available as well as for students on campus.

Students elected this year will be provided tutoring and support for seven months, from January through July.

responsibilities to you.

LIBRA — What are you after in life, Libra? Deep down, does the kind of work you do satisfy your most intimate desires? The little problems you encounter in your professional life over the next week could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Take a look around to see if the work you do and the people in your life take your profoundly spiritual nature into account.

SCORPIO — It’s possible that you’re trying to do too much, Scorpio. If look at the days you spend working, you may realize that too much of your energy goes to some very meager results.

Today, consider taking some time off to take advantage of life. Why not go out for a nice dinner with friends, or even better, go on a little vacation? Try and let things happen. You deserve time just for you!

SAGITTARIUS — It’s possible that you could be in conflict with people of the opposite sex today, Sagittarius. You may feel as if they put obstacles in front of you and slow you down. But instead of getting into conflicts that could eventually escalate into full-blown confrontations, try and ask yourself what they think you’re doing wrong. Does your personality consider both your masculine and feminine sides?

CAPRICORN — You have a very dynamic day ahead of you, Capricorn. You may feel the need to put all your energy into a group project. You will want to roll up your sleeves and get to work. You’re usually a meditative, pensive person, but today you’re looking for concrete results and actions. Who knows? This hard work might even help you relax a little.

AQUARIUS — Have you ever thought of yourself as a CEO or any other kind of leader, Aquarius? Today is a great day to begin a project involving other people - with you in charge! The strong, assertive side of your personality will come out in your decision making and charisma.

Go for it! After all, this is the first day of the rest of your life.

PISCES — There’s a lot of tension in the air today, Pisces.

Perhaps you feel like no one is listening to you, and that people are draining your energy. You may act defensively and even occasionally become very angry.

It’s possible that no one has seen in you in such a state before. Don’t be afraid to express your anger.

Repressed anger is like poison for your body and soul.

HOROSCOPE

ARIES — As a Aries, you have an innate gift for healing and calming other people in crisis situations. If this isn’t what you do for a living, you should think about doing something with this natural talent. The positions of the planets today may be telling you to think about this in more concrete terms.

If you’re interested in herbal therapy, for example, this could be the perfect time to learn more.

TAURUS — You seem to be a specialist at relationships, and you’re very sensitive to the ups and downs in your own. But today you may wonder if people love you less than they did before. This is rather an odd question, but another one may be hiding underneath. Do you really have to make such a big effort in order to be loved? Only you can answer that question.

GEMINI — You’re usually full of energy, Gemini, but today you may not feel so vivacious. There’s nothing to worry about. In fact, you may have the time to do some thinking about your personal life and what you expect to get out of your relationships. You might also want to think about how you intend to go about getting it!

Perhaps some of your motivations have changed lately.

CANCER — You may have had a hard time lately reaching your objectives. Unfortunately for you, Cancer, today will be no different. You may begin to feel a bit dissatisfied with the way your life is going at the moment. You will ask yourself certain questions about your goals. Does your personal life live up to those goals?

Can you express your wonderful creativity as much as you’d like?

LEO — Your sense of responsibility is probably the catalyst for most of your motivation, Leo. But what happens when events are beyond your control and you’re powerless to do anything about them? You may have to admit that sometimes you can’t control everything, especially your family and friends. Today you should think about letting things happen occasionally. Your life will be a lot less complicated.

VIRGO — Today you could put a stop to your activities for a little while, Virgo. You may take a good, hard look at things and realize that the climate of trust you need in order to be productive and creative is missing at the moment.

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.

lawsuit

Continued from Page A1

The suit argues that the latter is the only reason the Biltmore is keeping employees away from work at this point. As evidence, it mentions that employees at the San Ysidro Ranch Hotel, also owned by Mr. Warner, have returned to work.

Citing the Four Seasons Employee Handbookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement of creating a â&#x20AC;&#x153;contractâ&#x20AC;? with its employees as well as saying it provides separation pay when employees are laid off, the lawsuit claims the hotel breached its contract with its employees by not doing the latter.

Examples of possible compensation for employees the release mentions include $16,000 for an employee who has worked for the hotel for 10 years with an average hourly rate of $25 per hour, and $37,500 for an employee who has worked at the hotel for 20 years with an average annual salary of $75,000.

Because the Four Seasons Employee Handbook prohibits class action lawsuits, Anticouni & Associates intends on entering into mediation for each employee it represents, or arbitration if unsuccessful.

As the laid off employees are without employment during an economic recession with

no guarantee of being rehired and without medical insurance during a pandemic, Anticouni & Associates founder Bruce Anticounti stated the separation pay will serve as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a life-line to hundreds of former Four Seasons employees during the deep recession which is expected to last until at least 2022.â&#x20AC;?

In August, hundreds of Biltmore employees marched around Montecito demanding answers from their workplace and Mr. Warner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the situation with COVID, we understand that a lot of businesses were hurt, however, there was very minimal communication between Four Seasons and ownership. We were told at first we were going to open up on April 15, and then kept postponing and for the past couple months, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to know when the hotel is going to reopen,â&#x20AC;? said one worker, who asked to remain anonymous. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So there are about 600 employees that are affected and we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had insurance since the end of June, and for a lot of employees, including me, if we got laid off, we have no assurance that we will receive severance payment.â&#x20AC;?

The Biltmore did not respond to the News-Pressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; request for comment. email: jgrega@newspress.com

bieber

Continued from Page A1 announcement on the MLB.com livestream while surrounded by his parents, Kristine and Chris, girlfriend Kara Kavajecz, and other family and friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a lot of people to thank, and most of them are in this room with me,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the ones whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve believed in me from the start. They made it all happen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It took a leap of faith, so to speak, being a preferred walk-on at UC Santa Barbara â&#x20AC;&#x201D; having the support of my family to just get me through that. Obviously, things worked out from there.â&#x20AC;?

UCSB coach Andrew Checketts recently found an evaluation he made of Bieber when he was a junior at Laguna Hills High. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wrote that I really like him, that he has plus-plus command, but that he just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t throw hard enough,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was around 80-to-82 mph at the time. It was early in his junior year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He came to one of our camps in early winter and I still liked him.

Coach (Jason) Hawkins followed him up, saw him one more time, and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get this guy â&#x20AC;Ś I know he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t throw hard enough, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s projectable. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll buy him on layaway.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Bieberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s velocity was in the mid-80s by his senior year of high school â&#x20AC;&#x201D; about 10 mph slower than his current fastball â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but he was still asked to walk on at UCSB. NCAA rules restricted the Gauchos to just eight nonscholarship players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think he threw one bullpen and made the team,â&#x20AC;? Checketts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He ended up starting for us that year, too.â&#x20AC;?

From there, Bieber said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it just felt like we were playing with house money.â&#x20AC;?

By his sophomore year of 2015, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d grown bigger and stronger while his ERA had shrunk to 2.24 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; seventh-best in school history.

He helped the Gauchos clinch one of the top seeds for the NCAA Tournament and earn hosting privileges at the Lake Elsinore Regional. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By the end of that year, he was throwing the ball as well as anyone on the team,â&#x20AC;? Checketts said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and that includes a guy (Dillon Tate) who was a first-round draft pick.â&#x20AC;?

Bieberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12 wins in 2016 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; tied for the second-most in UCSB

Former UCSB star Shane Bieber became the seventh American League pitcher in Major League Baseball history to be a unanimous choice for the Cy Young Award. He is also the fifth Indiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pitcher since 2007 to win the prestigious honor.

historyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; led the Gauchos to their first College World Series appearance. His 106 strikeouts rank seventh. He earned secondteam All-America honors and was also chosen to the All-Regional Team at Vanderbilt.

He ranks among UCSBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career leaders in several categories including strikeouts (second with 237), wins (third with 23) and ERA (fifth at 2.73).

Bieber was promoted to the Major Leagues during just his third season of pro ball, going 11-5 with a 4.55 ERA in 2018. He got former Gaucho teammate Trevor Bettencourt to teach him his curveball during that offseason and improved to 15-8 and 3.28 with 259 strikeouts in 2019. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He does that because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not

satisfied where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at,â&#x20AC;? Checketts said.

Bieber was selected to play for the American League in the 2019 All-Star Game in Cleveland and wound up winning MVP honors after striking out the side in his one inning of work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was special to be able to share that moment with the people of Cleveland,â&#x20AC;? Bieber said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a sense of familiarity that meant a lot to me and got me a little more comfortable than I probably could have expected in that kind of big moment.â&#x20AC;?

He still wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t satisfied, adding a cutter to his arsenal of pitches during the last offseason. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought it would maybe get me out of some jams when I was 3-1 or 2-0, just being able to

throw a fastball with a little bit of wrinkle to hopefully get a popup or a rollover,â&#x20AC;? Bieber said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It kind of came up big for me in certain situations this year.â&#x20AC;?

Checketts marvels at how Bieber remains so even-keel while his reputation skyrockets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really humble, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really hard to do when everyone is telling you how good you are,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of that is the result of his good upbringing and his family and his high school coaches, and also his experience to this point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the result of being someone who wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t highly recruited, and coming in as a walk-on, and having his back against the wall early in his career.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ingraham Angleâ&#x20AC;? and said that outside the polling place where she worked, she witnessed two people by a Biden-Harris van opening and marking ballots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This gal had nothing to gain by coming forward,â&#x20AC;? Ms. McGinnis said.

Santa Barbara Republican Women president Julie Bischoff also suspects that there was chicanery in the election and mentioned a lawsuit in Michigan.

In the suit, poll workers who worked in Wayne County, where Detroit is located, allege they were instructed to backdate absentee ballots and not verify the signatures on them.

According to Just the News, the lead attorney for the city of Detroit, David Fink, said the lawsuit â&#x20AC;&#x153;is not based upon actual evidence of any election fraud or misconduct.â&#x20AC;?

Perhaps the most hardfought state during the election, Pennsylvaniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standing is still

pending due to litigation.

On Monday, President Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign filed a lawsuit against Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Kathy Boockvar and the boards of elections in seven of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s counties.

It alleged that the state illegally allowed for a twotiered election system, in which different types of ballots were held to different standards. While voters who voted in person at the polls were required to sign voter registrations, have their signatures checked against voter rolls, and be monitored by poll observers while they voted, the lawsuit claims that 2.65 million mail-in votes were cast in a way that â&#x20AC;&#x153;lacked all of the hallmarks of transparency and verifiability that were present for in-person voters.â&#x20AC;?

Should President Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal strategy not pan out, Ms. McGinnis said it is imperative for Republicans to retain control of the Senate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to hold onto the senate because that is going to be our only firewall against a very

radical left agenda,â&#x20AC;? she said.

While state Sen. HannahBeth Jackson, D-Santa Barbara, remarked that President Trump has a right to challenge the election results in court, she said him doing so is nonetheless â&#x20AC;&#x153;disgraceful.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is absolutely no justification for this,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The senator criticized the president for not conceding the election and taking the first steps toward a seamless transition of power. As for the allegations of impropriety, Sen. Jackson said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not nearly sturdy enough ground on which to overturn the results of an election. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anybody can allege anything.

In order to have it stick you need to have something that supports the allegation, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absolutely nothing,â&#x20AC;? she said.

She added that she trusts the courts will properly handle the dispute and by the end of it, the president will not be able to make up enough ground in key states such as Michigan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taking it to court. I have confidence in the judicial process.

PARKS, Edward, Jr.

Edward Parks Jr., 68, was suddenly called home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on March 16, 2020.

His cause of death was an unknown health condition. Ed was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. on May 29, 1951 to Edward Parks Sr. and Annie B. Davidson-Parks. The Parks family was originally from North Carolina and had moved with Edâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paternal grandmother to Hollister, CA, before Ed was born. Edâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Annie, decided their family should join her sister in Brooklyn, NY, where Ed was born. At age 11, Ed and his family returned to Hollister. Ed was a standout athlete at San Benito High School, MVP and captain of the varsity tennis team, graduating in 1970. He attended Gavilan College in Gilroy, CA, and was active in ROTC at Gavilan and after he transferred to the University of CA at Santa Barbara. Christian faith was central to Edâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life and for most of his adult life; he was an active member of El Camino Presbyterian Church in Goleta, starting upon his arrival as a UCSB student.

Ed became a trustee and deacon in the church and was always ready to help those in need. Ed was a tireless worker, starting as an orderly at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. He founded AA Towing in the 1980s and was a genius with engine repair. Alcohol abuse and life difficulties led to a short stint in state prison. The Lord used this trial to enable Ed to regain his Christian priorities and he witnessed and preached the gospel to his fellow inmates. Recently Ed worked for Ditec Manufacturing in Carpinteria helping build precision tools used by medical and surgical clients. Ed loved classical music, the 49ers, horses and dogs. Ed was a faithful, loving and encouraging friend to many, and is already greatly missed. He is pre-deceased by his parents and his only brother, Ben Parks, and is survived by one nephew and three nieces.

Santa Barbara Democratic Party chairwoman Gail TetonLandis echoed Sen. Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s view that there is no proof of voter fraud. She said the president is heading down a â&#x20AC;&#x153;dangerous avenueâ&#x20AC;? with his legal challenges, which are â&#x20AC;&#x153;putting the sacred democratic process of voting in jeopardy.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are not two sides to every story and on this topic. There is only the truth that the election was fair, votes are being counted, and Joe Biden won,â&#x20AC;? she said.

To illustrate how thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no evidence of voter fraud, Ms. Teton-Landis cited an exchange between Jonathan S. Goldstein, one of the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyers, and a Pennsylvania judge earlier this week.

During the exchange, when the judge asked if there was any fraud involved with 592 disputed ballots in Montgomery County, PA, Mr. Goldstein retorted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;To my knowledge at present, no.â&#x20AC;?
