Santa Paula lineman works on the football field and in the wheat fields
When 6-foot-5, 315-pound all-league offensive tackle Jorge Gonzalez of Santa Paula High had to take a mandatory two-week break this summer under the Southern Section dead period rules, he didn't just sit at home. He went to the wheat fields of Santa Barbara and earned money using a weed whacker eight hours a day so he could buy a car. 'My uniform turned green,' he said of his daily work in the fields. The Santa Paula community is heavily involved in the agriculture business, and football coach Myke Morales said many of his players have worked in the fields. Gonzalez is a three-year starter with a 3.8 grade-point average and made the trip to Ventura on Thursday for a Tri County League media day that also featured players from Agoura, Hueneme, Dos Pueblos, San Marcos and Fillmore. Morales and Fillmore's Charles Weis discussed their 100-year-old rivalry game played at the end of each season. It's unlike any other as far as uniting both communities. 'It's the way it's supposed to be,' Weis said. 'It's a community event. It's what's right is for high school football.' Agoura is ready to welcome back quarterback Gavin Gray, who suffered a season-ending knee injury in the fourth game last season. He'll have baseball standout Tyler Starling at receiver, plus the Chargers have running back George Hastings, who will become No. 7 on the roster. Dos Pueblos returns all-league receiver Micah Barnhart. Hueneme has high hopes for running back Jeremiah Alvarado. San Marcos might have one of the best multi-sport athletes in the state in elite golfer Austin Downing, who's also a kicker and plays baseball. Fillmore will rely on four players who will be three-year starters — linebacker Carlos Cabral, receiver Mauricio Ocegueda, lineman Marcus Lechuga and lineman Genaro Villela. All the coaches are preparing for possible disruptions because of wildfires and have had experiences in the past. 'Every year, we're problem solving,' Dos Pueblos coach AJ Pateras said. 'We just navigate.' Sign up for the L.A. Times SoCal high school sports newsletter to get scores, stories and a behind-the-scenes look at what makes prep sports so popular.

However, EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP. EBITDA is calculated by adjusting 'Interest expense', 'Investment income, net', 'Income tax expense', 'Depreciation, depletion and amortization' to 'Net income attributable to the Company'.

"We are confident that this daily direct flight will generate increased visitation from the Northeast, supporting greater exposure to our hospitality, residential and commercial offerings. This connectivity aligns with our long-term vision to attract a broader audience and convert visitors into residents." The new year-round route will be operated with an Embraer 175 aircraft, providing passengers with a comfortable and efficient travel experience. "Partnering with Delta to offer this year-round service will provide our passengers with more convenient travel options and enhance connectivity between New York City and the beautiful beaches of Northwest Florida," said Parker W. McClellan Jr., A.A.E., Executive Director of ECP. "This expanded nonstop service announcement is a testament to the growing demand for travel to our region and we look forward to welcoming travelers from the Big Apple."
