State Street Promenade Market Local artisans take part in weekly event

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Local artisans presented their products Thursday afternoon in the 1000 block of State Street in downtown Santa Barbara, bringing a larger local presence to the city’s shopping hub. It was the second week of the State Street Promenade Market, the newest maker marketplace in Santa Barbara. “I love that Santa Barbara is trying something new,” said Leah Holman, owner of handmade jewelry business Fringe. “This

is giving an opportunity for businesses to stand up, breathe again, get outside, show their wares. “I think that’s what Santa Barbara needs and not so many high rents. We need more attainable goals for the little mom and pop shops.” She misses Piccadilly Square, now Paseo Nuevo, which housed local vendors in small storefronts. Ms. Holman represented her product as well as Salty Brothers Soap Co., whose storefront at 429 State St. sells a variety of local vendors including Fringe. She sells

her jewelry wholesale to 100 stores across the United States. She began making jewelry when she was just over 15 years of age and sold it outside of UCSB’s University Center. It helped her save enough money to study in Paris. After traveling, she came back to Santa Barbara and settled down. Now, she calls her jewelry business a retirement gig. The pandemic shut down her business, as it did to others, and she created more jewelry. Henry Sanregret, founder of SBCBD, started selling in markets

in December after the pandemic closed trade shows. He sells 12 products in 50 retail locations. “Ideally, we would be at a big trade show in Las Vegas or L.A. for a health food convention to try to get into new stores, but we’re pretty restricted currently,” he said. Now that he has started selling at marketplaces, he plans to continue even after trade shows reopen. “It’s been great to kind of put a face to the brand. I’ve met a lot of people that will stop by the booth

Southwest Airlines announced new daily routes to Las Vegas, Oakland and Denver from its new service at Santa Barbara Municipal Airport Thursday morning, giving officials hope that the travel agency could make a comeback in 2021. After a tumultuous year for the travel agency in 2020, travel officials say this news could not have come at a better time. “Air travel is very sluggish during the pandemic, but increasing the number of flights that are landing in Santa Barbara will be fuel for the economic recovery,” Kathy Janega-Dykes, president and CEO of Visit Santa Barbara told the News-Press. The Southwest service at the local airport will offer three daily

flights to Las Vegas’ McCarran International Airport, one daily flight to Denver International Airport, and one daily flight to Oakland International Airport starting on April 12, 2021. Tickets for these new routes are available now. Airport officials say these new routes will give travelers access to more than 50 cities in Southwest’s network through connecting flights in Las Vegas, Oakland and Denver. “You can get anywhere you want to go on the same airline,” Deanna Zachrisson, airport development manager for Santa Barbara Airport, told the News-Press. “One of the biggest benefits is that you can get to Washington D.C. in one stop. You can fly to Vegas or Denver and get to D.C. after one stop. It’s just Please see southwest on A4

County completes Arroyo Burro Beach improvements

- VIRTUAL EVENTS 2+*14&/ /*4& 3*--*-( 21)./

Isabel Wilkerson

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

On Jan. 11, the Santa Barbara County Community Services Department and Parks Division officially completed construction of site improvements and a new ranger office at Arroyo Burro Beach Park. The park, which is nicknamed “Hendry’s Beach,� is at 2981 Cliff Drive. The main park improvements included fencing reconfiguration, installation of security cameras, replacement of a 330-square foot ranger office and maintenance building, new ADA-compliant pathways and the installation of a water-collecting cistern to reduce water usage. The streetscape improvements covered 17,000 square feet and included both new and enhanced seating near the highly used dog wash and bus stop areas, along with upgrades to the existing irrigation and drought-tolerant landscaping at the park entrance and the almost quarter mile along Cliff Drive. Jill Van Wie, the county’s Capital Division manager, oversaw the project and its funding, design and construction. She told the News-Press that Arroyo Burro Beach is a high priority for the county. “I’m excited because I think the improvements really beautify the park and save the taxpayers money to reduce water usage,� she said. “We needed to enhance the park and make it nicer for the public.� The former ranger office was torn down a few years ago for safety reasons. The new office is also part of an effort by the county to increase security and prominence of the park ranger in the area. “We made some of the sight lines a little bit clearer for a little bit more visibility in the park and less nooks to hide in,� Ms. Van Wie said. The project, which totaled $1,380,000, was funded with Development Impact Fees and annual park maintenance funds. The lawn area in front of the ranger office was also replaced, but Ms. Van Wie said it was only replaced because the contractor has to repair whatever they damage during construction. “It’s not really a new lawn,� she said, adding that many have asked why the area wasn’t turned into a hardscape to also reduce water usage. “It’s important to have one park place that’s green for people to enjoy. People like to sit and lay on the lawn, and it’s a dog park — it’s good to have a

Goleta Union School District plans long-term adaptations By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Goleta Union School District planned for months of COVID-19 precautions during its board meeting Wednesday evening. Superintendent Dr. Donna Lewis presented the district’s options for reopening under Gov. Gavin Newsom’s “Safe Schools for All� proposal. The proposal, which has not been approved by the state legislature, provides elementary schools $450 per student if they apply and submit a safety plan to local and state health authorities by Feb. 1. Schools can open once their county reaches below 25 cases per 100,000 residents and must maintain regular COVID-19 testing of students and staff. “The strange thing about this ‘Safe Schools for All’ proposal is the governor’s proposal has not yet been approved by the legislature, so there are no funds currently really available. And there’s no application that you can use,� Dr. Lewis said. “There’s nothing you can do to get this money right now.� The case rate in Santa Barbara County is 80 cases per 100,000 so when applications open, the district can submit a plan but won’t be able to reopen until the case rate drastically decreases. “We have people in a community that want us to set a date, by what date in the Goleta Union School District, can we target the reopening of schools. And I need everyone to understand it isn’t about a date right now. It’s about getting case rates in our community down to less than 25 per 100,000,� she said. She also noted the problem with

consistent surveillance testing. “The reality is to do all the testing and the testing cadence rate required to test all students and staff is going to cost more than what the money that (Gov. Newsom) is going to give,� she said. “The testing requirement, as I just mentioned, is really the biggest hurdle.� Earlier in the meeting, the board approved an amendment to the agreement with Merso Labs which changes the testing protocol from individual to pool tests. This means the lab will combine three samples and if it tests positive, then all three individuals will be tested separately to confirm who the positive case is. This method will lower the cost from $75 to $115 per person. The district can save more money by testing with a state-run laboratory in Valencia, but administrators are wary of making the switch. “We’re working with (the Valencia lab) to figure out whether we can move towards them,� said David Simmons, assistant superintendent of human resources. “At this point, nobody in the county has yet. This is one of those things that we don’t want to leap before we look.� Unable to predict the reopening of school campuses, the district strategized what it could control: summer school. Conrad Tedeschi, assistant superintendent of fiscal services, authorized administrators to spend a large sum of money to staff summer school. “It’s not limited by the funding; it’s more limited by staffing and doing it safely. In terms of staff, one of the first incentives, we’re trying to make it easier for teachers to enjoy teaching,� Dr. Mary Kahn, assistant superintendent of

instructional services, said. “It’s going to be hard enough teaching in person and managing kids who haven’t been in school. “And so we really don’t want them to have to make the curriculum up, which has really been something that they’ve spent a lot of time on when they’ve previously supported summer school.� She is working on creating a comprehensive curriculum for summer-school teachers to adapt for their small cohorts. Summer school will serve as a time for students to catch up, as more this year are struggling. Dr. Kahn reviewed the students’ results in the Star 360 software, a program that assesses the learning level of students. “During the COVID pandemic, we are experiencing the highest participation in our Star 360, and I think that’s just really the heroic efforts of our teachers to continue the great work they are doing,� she said. Although participation has increased, a greater percentage of students are struggling in comparison to previous years. “We’re not seeing the major losses that other districts are reporting to see. We do know every single kid that is struggling, and we’re working to have a right fit plan for them. And overall, we’re seeing continued growth,� Dr. Kahn reported. The district is continuing its search for a new superintendent for the 2021-22 school year. The board approved plans for student achievement, which Dr. Lewis described as “the best batch of school plans that I have seen in my career.� email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

This is definitely a great opportunity to get involved more with the community,” she said.

She grew up in Santa Barbara and has seen the city change. “If you look around on State Street, there’s hardly any local small businesses anymore,” she said. “We’ve got Amazon right across the street, and that’s like a perfect example of what’s taken over. “This whole street, which used to be a whole bunch of boutiques and things when I was growing up, and a lot of people that I knew from L.A. would come to Santa Barbara to shop because it had that kind of Santa Barbara small-town charm.” Nine vendors set up Thursday, some with large banners and others with handcrafted posters, representing just a portion of Santa Barbara’s small businesses. Although much of Santa Barbara is closed, the open-air market generated customers during a chilly Thursday evening. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Creator Gene Roddenberry depended on him for fact-checking beginning with the first “Star Trek” pilot, “The Cage.” His firm would conduct historical, legal and scientific research to ensure that TV shows and movies were accurate. In the case of “Star Trek,” the producers asked Mr. de Forest to help them bring the science fiction show to life in the most realistic way possible. “What he was committed to and what his firm was committed to was providing producers, art directors and writers with information and images, historical facts and scientific facts that would really make a piece come alive,” Ann de Forest, Mr. de Forest’s daughter, told the NewsPress by phone from her home in Philadelphia. According to Ms. de Forest, her father always adored his work in Hollywood and loved the opportunity to collaborate with producers to make compelling and accurate films and TV shows. “He was someone who taught me early the value of work and how work was something to be enjoyed,” Ms. de Forest said. “He loved the work he did.” When Mr. de Forest retired in 1992, he and his wife returned to Santa Barbara, where he spent

the rest of his life dedicated to advocacy and public service. As an active board member of the Pearl Chase Society, Mr. de Forest attended monthly civic meetings and provided historical preservation advice for a number of local organizations, including the Mission Canyon Association and the city’s Planning Commission. He attended these meetings in person for years until managing his wheelchair became too tiresome. In 2018, Mr. de Forest was invited to be a part of the graduating class at Crane School and received a diploma. When he initially finished his

education at Crane in 1940, he was the only one in his class, and therefore, the school did not hold a commencement. Mr. de Forest also hosted Preservation Watch meetings for community residents at Wood Glen Hall in Santa Barbara until COVID-19 canceled all in-person gatherings. Throughout the pandemic, he continued to write all of the Pearl Chase Society historic preservation letters. At the time of his illness, he was writing his January Preservation Watch column.

The organization was in consistent contact with the airline for about five years before Southwest executives made the decision to expand their services locally December 2020. In the coming months, Visit Santa Barbara will be contributing some $250,000 to support the new Southwest flights. “Visit Santa Barbara is making a significant investment in this service because we are determined for it to be successful,” Ms. Janega-Dykes said in a statement. “We want to give the new flights the best chance of remaining in market, and by extension, support our local workforce so that they can recover.” According to Ms. Zachrisson, Southwest has thousands of

members in the area a more accessible port of departure and aid in the economic recovery. “Right now everything is abnormal, but I think it’s going to be interesting to see how quickly travel rebounds,” Ms. Zachrisson said. “Having (Southwest) as part of the lineup gives us the potential to

According to Ms. de Forest, her father saw his work for the city as a way to preserve his parents’ legacy. Even though the majority of his family lived far away, Ms. de Forest said Santa Barbara was the place where her father wanted to leave a lasting impact in his final years. “We knew we couldn’t take him away from Santa Barbara,” Ms. de Forest said. Mr. de Forest was born on Nov. 11, 1926 at Cottage Hospital to landscape architects Lockwood and Elizabeth Kellam de Forest. He was born eight weeks premature and weighed only 2 pounds. At the time, he was the smallest baby to ever survive at Cottage. In 1949, after serving in World War II stateside for a year, he finished his degree and graduated from Yale. Mr. de Forest is survived by his three children — Ann, Carmaig and Elizabeth de Forest — and their spouses, along with his six grandchildren and a greatgrandchild.

In her experience, having these routes available will provide convenient options for many of her clients. In the coming months of 2021, travel options remain a question mark for many consumers, but Ms. Ensign is hopeful that an April roll out date for these flights will give people enough time to see vaccine progress and decide if it is safe to travel. “As more people are vaccinated, I think there will be an uptick (in travel),” Ms. Ensign said. “The fact that the service isn’t starting until April gives three months to see what is happening with the vaccine. I think by the time April rolls around, I see a lot of people booking Southwest to these destinations.” Though the pandemic brought significant challenges for travel agents, Ms. Ensign says many agents are hopeful that the vaccine is a “light at the end of the tunnel.” email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

Cycling during COVID Manufacturing company features Santa Barbara in ‘Great Rides’ series By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

T

he United States faced a shortage of bicycles when COVID hit, but that proved to be a good thing for stores and manufacturers. Demand quickly grew. The shutdown orders have ushered many Californians to step outside and blow the dust off bicycles that haven’t been used in a while, since cycling is one way to enjoy the outdoors and breathe fresh air while adhering to COVID-19 restrictions. In March, nationwide sales of bicycles nearly doubled from the previous year, with fitness and commuter bikes increasing by 66%, leisure bikes by 121% and electric bikes by 85%, according to The New York Times. Hyland’s, a manufacturer of over-the-counter homeopathic medicines for natural pain relief, saw the rise of cycling’s popularity and decided to connect cyclists with the best trails in the U.S., both for beginners and experts. Hyland’s released a new video series called “Great Rides,” featuring avid cyclists on the must-do rides in their own communities. You can find it on the Los Angeles company’s Health YouTube channel. Recently, Hyland released “Great Rides Santa Barbara,” which took viewers on a bike ride up and down the GibraltarPainted Cave Loop. The 40mile ride goes from sea level to an altitude of nearly 4,000 feet, with a max grade of 12% and elevation change of 2,700 feet. It boasts both mountain and Pacific Ocean views. Masters Cyclist Paul Thomas took the journey in the video, starting at Handlebar Coffee Roasters on 128 E. Canon Perdido St., riding east down Cabrillo Boulevard and taking a left on Olive Mill Road. He then took another left on East Mountain Drive, a right on Gibraltar Road, a left on Painted Cave Road and coasted back downtown on Cathedral Oaks Road. The route challenges cyclists to a seven-mile climb up Gibraltar Road and rewards them with 13 miles of downhill cycling on Painted Cave Road. Rob Klingensmith is the president of a San Diego-based business called Lens Agency, where he helps brands connect with athletes. He went on the Santa Barbara ride himself. “We feel that if a cyclist in Santa Barbara had an out-of-town visitor who’s an accomplished or serious cyclist, Gibraltar Road is the obvious choice,” he told the News-Press. “It’s widely recognized as one of the most challenging and classic climbs in North America. You certainly can’t beat the beauty of it — on the one hand, you’re looking at the mountains, and on the other hand, the ocean shines below you as if you’re in an airplane.” Mr. Klingensmith said the ride along Cabrillo Boulevard is a good way for the cyclists to warm up their legs and prepare for the climb ahead. Once they get to the very, very top, he said, “You certainly know you’ve accomplished something when you get there.” “Coming down Painted Cave is very technical in the sense that the road’s very beautiful, but narrow … You have to be cautious,” he said. “But it’s aesthetically one of the most beautiful rides I’ve ever been on in a country.” The cyclist referred to the “Great Rides” series as “a

He said due to the series’ popularity, Hyland will continue filming “Great Rides,” taking nominations and suggestions from cyclists all around the country. Mr. Klingensmith said the company hopes to deliver geographic and topographic variety through the rides, incorporating trips in gravel or through the desert. “We’re definitely looking for that regional, signature ride that a local would be proud to show their out-of-town friends,” he said. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Hyland’s, the company that began filming “Great Rides,” hopes to connect cyclists during the pandemic and encourage them to participate in the local, hidden rides that don’t require air travel.

Westmont announces new theater initiative

Author to discuss ‘Know My Name’

MONTECITO — The Westmont Theater Arts Department has announced its new Justice and Global Engagement in the Theatre Arts Initiative. The effort will be headed by award-winning director and Westmont professor John Blondell. According to a news release from the Montecito college, the new initiative will expand the theater department’s focus on “diversity, justice, global engagement and intercultural competency.” The initiative will also establish a new artist/scholar-in-residence for “diversity, equity and inclusion in theater arts.” “I am delighted and honored,” Dr. Blondell said in a statement. “These positions reflect the department’s commitment to seek change and transformation relative to local, national and global conversations and movements.” Dr. Blondell will spend one semester at Westmont teaching and directing before spending the following semester working in international theater. “John has developed a stellar and altogether unique professional career directing international theater all over the globe,” Mitchell Thomas, theater arts professor and department chair, said. “His experiences, connections and professional work directly benefit our theater arts students and provide a distinct lens into global theater-making.”

Ms. Miller recounts the trauma of the assault and the years that followed in the book, which touches on issues in the criminal justice system and illuminates the courage it takes to live through suffering. “Know My Name,” published in 2019, quickly rose to the top of The New York Times’ bestseller list and was named the best book of 2019 by Time, the Washington Post and NPR.

Horoscope.com Friday, January 22, 2021

ARIES — Today you may take a look around your home and see what needs improvement, Aries. A pending visit from a friend or relative may provide the incentive to get things in shape. A fresh coat of paint and some new window treatments and rugs will make a big difference. If you don’t have time for that, fill the house with flowering plants as an effective camouflage. TAURUS — Family, home, and hEarth are on your mind today, Taurus. There may be a community event that you attend out of a sense of obligation but stay for the sheer fun of it. Sometimes you get so caught up in work and the daily hassles of life that you forget there’s a whole world outside of work. It does your heart good to take in a wider view. GEMINI — Today may be an odd combination of social and financial, Gemini, likely a combination of the two in some way. Perhaps you need to meet with an attorney and end up dining together. Or you and a casual acquaintance could decide to go out for a drink. Legal documents are highlighted, so be sure to carefully look over contracts of any kind. CANCER — Even though you seem content with your career, you’re ready for some change in your life, Cancer. This is the time to consider joining a group. How about a local book club? Or if you’re more actively inclined, sign up with a tennis team or local running club. There are lots of diversions to occupy your mind as well body. The real upside is that you’re likely to make some wonderful new friends. LEO — Even though you think of yourself as a rational person, Leo, today your intuition is so keen that even you can’t ignore it. Rather than try to will it away, why not embrace the messages that bombard you? Give yourself this one single day to embrace the possibility that you may have some extrasensory ability. There’s no harm in trying to understand the extent of your power. VIRGO — You may feel slightly bored and restless, Virgo. If so, an opportunity may come your way today that shouldn’t be ignored. You may have a chance to take a trip to an exotic locale or attend a class or lecture that will open your mind to all sorts of interesting possibilities. Just because you only have one life, that doesn’t mean you can’t fit many different lives +*#!2 +1$)"$ into it.

LIBRA — You consider yourself a rational person, Libra. If you aren’t a scientist, you should be. You view life objectively and rarely let extraneous matters cloud your thinking. You’re likely to be taken aback by today’s extraordinary events. Your intuition is so sharp that you can almost read people’s minds. At first you think this is just a fluke, but you may be a believer by the end of the day. SCORPIO — This is your lucky day, Scorpio, and you can expect all sorts of wonderful surprises. You may enjoy a financial surprise or someone could propose an interesting and potentially lucrative project. Take advantage of any opportunities that come your way today, as all signs indicate that new ventures will ultimately prove quite profitable. SAGITTARIUS — Passion is very much on your mind, Sagittarius. Unfortunately, you have a lot to do before you can concentrate on romance. Much as you’d prefer to put paperwork off for another day, you really should buckle down and get it all done. You will be relieved to have it behind you, and you will be free to enjoy the evening pursuing other interests. CAPRICORN — You’re never at a loss for an opinion, Capricorn, and today is no exception. The energy of the day is such that you’re happier listening to conversations than participating in them. You can’t help but smile at the misinformation that gets bandied about. Since no one has bothered to ask for your opinion, you aren’t about to offer it today. Tomorrow is another matter entirely. AQUARIUS — Finances are highlighted for you today, Aquarius. This isn’t necessarily a good or bad thing - it just is. Spend as much time as necessary sorting out your records and making sure everything is in good order. It’s never too early to collect receipts and get organized. You may feel inspired to concentrate on budgeting as well. PISCES — Conversation and travel are highlighted today, Pisces. You may sit next to someone fascinating on a plane ride. You two have much in common, and the time will pass quickly as you enjoy discovering more about one another. You’re likely to exchange phone numbers, if not kisses, by the end of the trip. There’s no denying the chemistry. The question remains whether you will act on it or not.

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.

UCSB seeks a smoother road today when it travels to Cal State Northridge for a Friday-Saturday men’s basketball double-header. The Gauchos, who are a perfect 7-0 at the Thunderdome this season, hope to even out their 1-3 road record in the pair of 4 p.m. games. “It’s a totally different landscape when you play on the road in college basketball, I don’t care if there are fans in the stands or not,� UCSB coach Joe Pasternack said. “There’s just a comfortability factor. “Hopefully, we’ve played on the road enough now and the guys are experienced enough to be ready to go.� The statistics show glaring differences. The Gauchos (8-3, 4-2 Big West Conference) have made 51.9% of their shots at the Thunderdome and just 34.8% in away games. Their opponents have shot 37.4% at the Thunderdome and 50.3% against UCSB in their own arenas. UCSB will need to put up a roadblock to contend with CSUN’s fast break today, Pasternack said. “They’re No. 1 in our league for tempo — for playing a fast tempo,� he pointed out. “We’re going to have to do a great job of taking care of the basketball and taking good shots and having our best transition-defense game of the year.� The game will pit some of the West Coast’s top point guards. The Matadors are led by Darius Brown II, the NCAA leader in assist-toturnover ratio at 8.83. He also averages 10.2 points per game. UCSB’s two-headed backcourt of JaQuori McLaughlin and Devearl Ramsey rank seventh and ninth, respectively, in assist-to-turnover ratio. McLaughlin, the Gauchos’ leading scorer at 15.7 points per game, is also 22nd in the nation in assist average at 6.0. Brown ranks 24th at 5.9. “Darius Brown has improved over the past three years as much as anybody I’ve seen in college basketball,� Pasternack said. “He was the guy that, in his first year, we didn’t even guard so we could double Lamine (Diane). But he’s gotten much better and he can shoot and has become a really good player. “Experience does a lot for you.� McLaughlin is counting on

UCSB’s own experience to overcome its road woes. “We definitely have older guys who’ve been there, been through a lot,� he said. “We’re just using that experience on the court, just helping each other out. “It’s about keeping everyone healthy, watching film and learning from our mistakes — trying not to make the same ones over and over. It’s about getting better every single game.� CSUN (5-4, 1-1) is a bit of a mystery this season. Diane, the Big West Player of the Year the past two years, is now a member of the Delaware Blue Coats in the NBA’s G League. The Matadors’ next two leading scorers transferred out — guard Terrell Gomez to San Diego State and Elijah Harkless to Oklahoma. Coach Mark Gottfried countered by bringing in his own transfers — wings TJ Starks from Texas A&M and Vante Hendrix from New Mexico. Starks is scoring 18.1 points per game and shooting 40% from three-point range. Hendrix is averaging 12.3 points and 4.3 rebounds. Alex Merkviladze, 6-9 and 225-pound freshman from the Republic of George, has averages of 9.7 points and 6.9 rebounds. “They’re very talented, they’re deep and they’re athletic,� Pasternack said. “They have good size and can score on the post or score on the perimeter. TJ Starks is probably one of the top two guards in our league.� But Starks did not play for unexplained reasons in last weekend’s double-header at Cal State Fullerton. Lance Coleman II, a 6-foot-6 senior wing averaging 15.7 points and 4.7 rebounds, was also sidelined because of an injury. The Matadors have remained silent about their status for this weekend’s games. CSUN, which hadn’t played since Dec. 28 because of COVID19 issues, still managed a split at Fullerton. Sophomore guard Brendan Harrick scored 25 points on 7-for-10 shooting from threepoint range in Friday’s game and freshman guard Atin Wright netted 22 on Saturday — two more than he’d scored all season. “I’m really proud of our team, to play without our two leading scorers,� Gottfried said. “We took a long time off and you never know how a team will respond with that.� email: mpatton@newspress.com
