The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department announced Thursday that two county residents have tested positive for the B.1.1.7 variant, known as the U.K. COVID-19 variant.

County health officials were notified by the California Department of Public Health about the variants being discovered. The cases are unrelated to one another and neither case reported travel abroad, according to health officials.

Both individuals completed their isolation period and are no longer infectious. The county’s Disease Control and Prevention Unit will continue investigating the case and completing contact tracing efforts. No other cases had been identified with the variant, according to officials.

Last month, CDPH issued a health alert regarding the

The laughs and “whoas” of families filled the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum’s two-story exhibition area once again — 370 days after its last visitors strolled through.

The Maritime Museum, located at 113 Harbor Way, Suite 190, in Santa Barbara, opened Thursday to its members and will set sail to the general public Saturday, armed with four new exhibits.

The museum’s COVID-19 precautions include shutting down high-touch elements, such as the periscope and frequent disinfecting.

“It’s time for us to safely get back out and do things, so it’s nice to have our doors opening,” Greg Gorga, the museum’s executive director, told the News-Press.

Through the end of the month, Thursdays and Fridays are for members only, and Saturdays and Sundays are open to guests.

He hopes members feel safe with days of their own.

“A lot of people let their membership lapse during the closure because they didn’t have a museum to come into, but now they’re starting to re-up their membership,” he said.

Community members and the museum’s board of directors contributed financially to keep the museum from perishing during the pandemic.

“My staff here have been absolutely fantastic during this whole year,” Mr. Gorga said. “We really pivoted right away.”

The museum released lessons and educational tools online.

One project, which encouraged students to explore oceanic features in their own backyards, was nominated by the American Alliance of Museums as one of the most innovative education programs of the year.

“We’ve always wanted to have more of an online presence, and COVID just forced our hand to do that. And it’s been a great experience,” Mr. Gorga said.

He has hosted webinars with guests from around the world, and the museum has been able to

reach people internationally.

He plans to keep producing online programming.

In July, the Maritime Museum started its reopening process.

Mr. Gorga gathered staff members and filed a reopening plan with county health officials.

“We were ready to go. We wanted to wait a couple of weeks to get everybody trained and get everything in a good place,” he said. “And the week before, we got shut down again.”

The preparations last summer allowed the museum to expeditiously open Thursday.

“We’ve been raring to go for a

while,” he said.

When the county reached the red tier in the fall, Mr. Gorga waited to reopen. A few staff members had left, and he wanted to wait until December.

The museum’s largest exhibit arrived in December. It’s titled “Arthur Beaumont: Art of the Sea” and features 53 paintings from Mr. Beaumont, who was contracted by the Navy to paint its missions.

These large-format paintings, displayed in gilded frames, fill the museum’s theater and much of the second floor’s walls.

The Arthur Beaumont exhibit

is on display until the end of May, when it will then be shipped off to the East Coast.

Another new display, called “Love Letters to the Sea,” encourages kids to advocate for cleaner waters and conservation.

The museum provides the addresses of lawmakers, so families can send the letters and make an impression.

The family-friendly museum has new neighbors since it was last open: CHOMP on the Rocks and Salty at the Beach. The restaurants opened during the pandemic, and Mr. Gorga sees a

Break Time sports bar in Goleta was able to stay afloat with the help of a local caterer to serve food to customers.

Ready for business

Bars, lounges continue to adapt to changing guidelines

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Food and drink establishments seem to have pivoted countless times to stay afloat amid the state’s constantly changing COVID-19 requirements.

Now breweries, wineries and distilleries must require patron reservations and a 90-minute time limit, with an 8 p.m. cutoff, if they do not serve food.

However, bars that weren’t able to figure out how to provide food up until this point must remain closed.

Between partnerships and contracting, many bars were able to figure out how to provide food to customers.

Such was the case for the owner of Break Time in Goleta.

Rose Quinn told the NewsPress that she lucked out in having not only a catering partner, but also a partner at the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department.

“He was always able to guide

me to the best of his knowledge,” she said of the Public Health official. “The rules were changing so quickly, though, for them that sometimes it was hard to translate those quickly changing rules to me. He did his best though — I felt well supported.”

She added that her caterer, David Medina, a well-known cook in the Santa Barbara restaurant scene, was on board right away to help Break Time stay afloat.

The owner said she tries not to think about if the rules make sense; rather, she just focuses on how to follow them and keep the sports bar’s doors open.

“I think they (bars) have been on an island on our own,” Ms. Quinn said. “Whether or not it’s fair or not, I try not to think about that. If you think about it too much, you’re just going to go nuts.

I just wake up and put one foot in front of the other.

increasing identification of the COVID-19 virus variants in the state, the country and internationally. Currently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has identified four “variants of concern,” which include the U.K. variant, B.1.351 (known as the South African variant), P.1 (the Brazilian variant), and B.1.427 and B.1.429 (the West Coast variants).

Only two cases of the U.K. variant have been identified in the county, according to officials.

As of March 11, there were 265 known cases caused by variant B.1.1.7 in California. CDPH considers it to be a variant of concern because it is thought to be more contagious and likely to cause greater illness or severe disease.

Dr. Lynn Fitzgibbons, an infectious disease specialist at Cottage Health, shared a video on Tuesday about the variants of the COVID-19 strain.

RAFAEL MALDONADO/NEWS-PRESS

State Route 154 was shut down in both directions following a multi-vehicle collision Thursday morning, leading to a standstill in traffic.

Multi-vehicle collision shuts down SR 154 SANTA BARBARA — Four people were injured, including one who suffered moderate injuries, in a multi-vehicle collision that shut down State Route 154 for a time Thursday, authorities said.

The collision was reported around 8:15 a.m. Thursday in the area of the Cold Spring Bridge, which is currently under construction. Traffic was backed up in the area and a vehicle traveling eastbound was involved in a rear-end collision which included a total of four vehicles, said Capt. Daniel Bertucelli, spokesman for the Santa Barbara County Fire Department.

The person who suffered moderate injuries was transported via ground ambulance to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. Three others suffered minor injuries and did not require additional treatment.

The 154 was shut down in both directions for a time following the collision, the cause of which is under investigation by the California Highway Patrol.

Authorities respond to social media post GOLETA — The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department issued a statement on Thursday regarding a recent social media post that recount two experiences at the Target store in Goleta.

One incident described a victim

being followed in the parking lot and then being boxed in by two vehicles. Another incident described a zip tie being left on the windshield of a vehicle, “a tactic that has been rumored to be linked to human trafficking,” said Raquel Zick, sheriff’s spokeswoman.

“The Sheriff’s Office proactively reached out to both of the social media accounts that reported these incidents, followed-up with Target for review of surveillance footage, searched our reporting databases, and checked with neighboring jurisdictions for matching reports,” she said.

“We have had contact with one of the social media account owners and are hoping to hear back from the second. We were unable to corroborate either of the incidents. Additionally, our Human Trafficking detectives have confirmed that the claim that zip ties are being used to flag targets for human trafficking is unsubstantiated.”

The Sheriff’s Office reached out to local nonprofit Standing Together to End Sexual Assault to share information about survivor response, bystander intervention and STESA services.

“We are happy to speak with anyone who has concerns about their safety,” Bianca Orozco, a community education coordinator with STESA, said in a statement.

“We offer confidential services which include a 24-Hour hotline, legal and medical advocacy and accompaniment, and counseling.

Information discussed will not be shared with other entities.”

If you need support and would like to speak with a STESA advocate or have any questions about services, please call the STESA 24-hour hotline at 805564-3696.

recipients and Temporary Protected Status holders deserve these same opportunities to achieve their American Dream.

They are our neighbors, friends, family members, teachers, medical professionals and more. This is the only country they call home and

impose mandatory employment verification, E-Verify, in agriculture.

“My father was a farmworker and I spent summers working with him in the fields, so I know firsthand how important the labor of those who harvest our food is to my community and to this nation. Agriculture is a major economic driver in my district and I have heard countless times from producers about the devastating labor shortage that stems from our broken immigration system,” said Rep. Carbajal. “We have a lot of work to do to reform our immigration system and this bill is one focused and significant step to accomplish that goal.

This groundbreaking, bipartisan bill creates a lasting solution by providing earned legal status for existing farmworkers and it modernizes the guest-worker program to ensure long term industry sustainability that supports farmworkers and growers alike.”

Both bills will head to the Senate where they will need 60 votes to advance. email: gmccormick@newspress. com

Historian to discuss Irish research SANTA BARBARA — David Ryan, a professional genealogist and oral historian based just outside of Cork, Ireland, will be the featured speaker at the Santa Barbara County Genealogical Society’s webinar on Saturday.

Mr. Ryan will present “Getting Started in Your Irish Research”

to help people locate Irish ancestors, officials said.

Mr. Ryan is a graduate of the University College Cork and holds a master’s in medieval history and a diploma in genealogy. He currently works as an assistant genealogist with Ancestry ProGenealogists. A

called sequencing to actually understand the specific RNA code and compare that sequence to the sequences of variants of interest or concern and other variants that we know about,” Dr. Fitzgibbons said.

During the video, she said that the current vaccines seem to be “a really excellent match” to combat the variants. Dr. Fitzgibbons then shared a recent online journal from the outlet “Nature,” which included authors looking at more than one million positive COVID-19 cases in the U.K between November and February to determine whether B.1.1.7 was found.

The authors found that there was not much presence of the variant in November, though “there was a huge shift” by January and February, which made it clear that the variant was causing the vast majority of infections.

The authors also examined the variants’ impact on deaths, which was found in “almost all the

deaths” reported in February. The study also found that those with the variant were less likely to survive.

The overall difference in survival between those who had the variants and those who didn’t was about 0.64%. Dr. Fitzgibbons noted that more than 99.4% of those in both groups survived.

“We simply can’t lose sight of this,” she said. “It’s (an) important difference, but a slightly more subtle one, especially when we’re thinking in the big picture.”

Variant testing is increasing through the California Department of Public Health, and the local public health lab and officials are working to expand these efforts, she added.

Locally, Cottage Health, Pacific Diagnostics and UCSB have launched collaborative variant surveillance projects.

“Variants are going to continue to be an important part of this next chapter of the pandemic for us,” Dr. Fitzgibbons said. “And

the more we learn about variants and the variants circulating in our communities, the stronger and more empowered we are. In many ways, we have not yet been in such a fragile or more critical position as we are currently.”

While local case rates are dropping and vaccination efforts are ramping up, Dr. Fitzgibbons urged residents to continue following health guidelines.

“We know that more infectious and more dangerous variants have the potential to cause more disruption,” she said. “Let’s stay strong, with a recommitment this spring to wearing our masks, to staying safe and healthy in this wonderful Santa Barbara outdoor climate as much as possible, and let’s also commit to getting our vaccines when it’s our turn.

“These vaccines continue to work incredibly well against the variants that are circulating.”

The Dream and Promise Act of 2021 passed in the House Thursday afternoon, with a vote of 228 to 197, with nine Republicans joining all the Democrats supporting the bill.

The Farm Workforce Modernization Act of 2021 was also poised to pass the House with bipartisan support.

Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, endorsed both bills, and said in a statement after the Dream and Promise Act’s passage: “I am glad the Dream and Promise Act has passed the House and with bipartisan support to boot. This bill gives millions of Dreamers and Temporary Protected Status holders the protection and opportunities they deserve.”

The representative said that as someone who immigrated to the country as a young child, he considers this a personal issue and was proud to vote in favor of the bill.

“When my parents brought me to this country, I was granted the opportunity to get a good education, serve my country in the military, and now serve in Congress,” he said. “DACA

I’m glad they are here to stay.”

The Dream and Promise Act of 2021 would grant Dreamers conditional permanent resident status for 10 years if they meet certain requirements such as being 18 years old or younger when they entered the country. It also would grant individuals who have had temporary protected status or deferred enforced departure for three years or more lawful permanent resident status, and set forth provisions that protect Dreamers and individuals with temporary protected status or deferred enforced departure during their application for relief.

The act is predicted to help more than 3 million Dreamers and others gain legal status and a chance for citizenship.

The Farm Workforce Modernization Act is expected to help another 1 million immigrant agriculture workers and their families legally stay in the U.S., according to national media reports.

It would provide a path to immigration status for agricultural workers and their families; revise the H-2A agricultural guestworker program to address employer and worker concerns; and

Economic recovery expected to lag Economists, real estate experts discuss South Coast predictions for 2021

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

In a new year with a new president and a new vaccine, the state of the pandemic and its impacts on the economy are much different from a year ago.

Local real estate experts and Radius principals Gene Deering and Brad Frohling, along with economist Dr. Mark Schniepp with the California Economic Forecast, unpacked the current state of the commercial real estate market and the greater economy in a Zoom webinar Thursday morning.

Mr. Deering shared that the sales market on the South Coast has been “surprisingly normal,” with one change being risk and how investors look at risk.

“If you have an office or retail building with some vacant space or space becoming available, you’re going to see investors take a closer look,” he said during the webinar.

The real estate expert pointed to three different buildings that were sold twice in a short period, including the property on 225 State St., 5511-5571 Ekwill St. in Goleta and others.

This year will likely be a normal year on the commercial sales front, according to Mr. Deering, since “we didn’t see that COVID discount that a lot of people expected.” He also mentioned some new multifamily housing projects that were developed, such as the 41-unit building at 835 E. Canon Perdido St., the 22-unit 414 Chapala St. building and the 26-unit building at 226 E. De la Guerra St. Mr. Frohling discussed the state of leasing, saying, “In summary, the main sectors are industrial, office and retail.

Industrial is stable, office is a bit sluggish, and retail is anemic, needing some life.”

Regarding industrial, he said lease rates will likely remain level for the year.

In addition, Mr. Frohling said most office tenants are moving toward consolidation

versus growth. But he noted the conversion of retail to office is happening now, including the Macy’s building, Sears and the Forever 21 building, which total more than 400,000 square feet of buildings.

“Is that an opportunity or is it a burden? Maybe some of both. … We have these larger buildings where companies can grow downtown, so I think more than it being a burden, it’s an opportunity if we could land some tech companies moving out of congested cities,” he said, adding that converting retail buildings into hotels or apartments is not always feasible.

He also noted that many developers are “better off tearing down those buildings and rebuilding them.”

Regarding the new wave of employees working from home, Mr. Frohling said the idea that working remotely is the new norm isn’t necessarily accurate.

“This idea that we can work from home and be in our bathrobes until 10 a.m. — it has not been productive. Most companies want to get the workforce back into the office as soon as possible for productivity,” he said.

The Radius principal also shared his thoughts on the State Street promenade, saying he thinks it should only be closed off to vehicles from Haley to De La Guerra St. “What we have closed right now is too much and it’s not a great use of the space,” Mr. Frohling said. “Right now, downtown does look a little bit like a yard sale.”

Dr. Schneipp then provided a comprehensive summary of COVID-19’s economy, and “what to expect in 2021 after a horrendous 2020.”

In his presentation, he touched on notable statistics today: 9.5 million people in the U.S. are not working today who were working a year ago; barely 40% of all K-12 students are attending school normally; the stock market is at all-time record highs; 17 states have opened nearly entirely; the

nation is out of the “dark winter” predicted by health officials back in December. But he noted the nation is now facing another alleged surge of the pandemic.

The economist said the nation’s immediate concerns are another surge, ongoing business restrictions even as infection rates decline, large public events not being permitted, schools remaining closed, customer reticence and fans at sporting events being prohibited.

“Despite a slow start, we expect a surge in economic activity March through April, nationwide,” Dr. Schneipp said.

However, California is lagging, with the second highest unemployment rate in the nation, not far behind Hawaii. Job creation has lagged more than other states, with 30% of jobs lost recovered since April compared to the country’s 58% recovered jobs. California is also the most restricted state in the nation.

Zooming in on Santa Barbara County, Dr. Schneipp said, “The labor-market fallout has been severe.” The unemployment rate is 7.7%, with the South Coast at 5.9% and North County at 10.6%.

But he noted, “The recovery is sustainable as long as the vaccines are effective or herd immunity sets in.”

“California will largely track movements in the U.S. economy, but will clearly lag,” the economist said. “The housing market remains a principal engine of growth, along with technology, and full recovery is not expected until mid-2022, and labor markets not until mid-2023.”

“We really have no idea when we’ll get back to normal ...The reason is because the end posts have kept moving all along,” Dr. Schniepp added. “Initially, we were just supposed to lock down for two to three weeks while we flattened the curve. That turned into the final goal that we need to eradicate this pandemic completely.”

Dons to open with rival Royals Game to take place at scene of last season’s CIF final

By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

It’s been more than 15 months since the last football game was played at San Marcos High’s Warkentin Stadium.

Santa Barbara High took the 2019 playoffs to the final seconds at its cross-town rival’s stadium when it lost a 24-21 heartbreaker to top-ranked Sunny Hills in the CIF-Southern Section Division 8 championship game.

The Dons will finally return to action tonight after a long COVID-19 delay, and it will be at the same stadium where their last season ended. They will play San Marcos at 7 p.m. in the 61st revival of the Big Game.

“Obviously we have some unfinished business,” Santa Barbara coach J.T. Stone said. “We are prepared and ready to go. Our seniors look forward to playing in (their own) stadium especially after last season’s success.”

Peabody Stadium, which was recently reconstructed at a cost of $39 million, will play host to its first football game when Santa Barbara faces Cabrillo on April 2.

Other South County games will feature Fillmore at Dos Pueblos at 6 p.m., St. Bonaventure vs. Bishop Diego at Santa Barbara City College at 7 p.m., and Santa Ynez at Lompoc at 7 p.m.

The Dons return nine allleaguers from last season’s 11-3 squad. San Marcos, 3-7 in 2019, is rebuilding after its record-setting combination of quarterback Ben Partee and receiver Josh Brown moved on to play for Gannon University in Erie, Pa. “We had three days just in helmets, and Tuesday was only our 11th day in pads,” Royals coach Jason Fowle said. “They’re in about as good a shape as you could expect after not lifting for a year and doing some conditioning drills and hitting for only two weeks.

“It’s a pretty stark set of demands to go from off the couch to full-contact football. But for sure, our guys are fired up and excited for this game. They’ve been working hard.”

Santa Barbara beat San Marcos 38-12 in last season’s Big Game to trigger an eight-game winning streak that took it to the CIF final.

Plenty of returning Dons benefitted from that experience, beginning with Wisconsin-bound quarterback Deacon Hill. He passed for a school-record 3,102 yards and 33 touchdowns as a junior.

He has two veteran receivers — UC Davis-bound Jake Knecht and Anthony Loza — as well as All-Channel League running back Justin Perez back in the fold.

Hill won Channel League Offensive Player of the Year honors, nose tackle Noach Wood was the Defensive Player of the Year, and two-way back and kicker Ty Montgomery was Utility Player

of the Year. Five others return after all-league seasons: Knecht, defensive back Grant Gonzales, and linemen Jonathan Perez, Ryan Holguin and David Ramirez.

Stone is excited about several underclassmen, including wide receivers Trent Williams (“Tremendous athlete that will have an opportunity to play D1 ball”) and Miguel Unzueta (“Young, speedy receiver that can do it all”), running back Nathan Barrios (“strong runner with deceptive speed”), and defensive end Willie Sloan (“High-motor kid that likes to run around the field”).

Although Montgomery picked football over baseball, the overlapping seasons did force Vince Gamberdella to opt for playing catcher at Eddie Mathews Field instead of linebacker at Peabody.

But San Marcos also lost a key player to the national pastime.

Junior Joaquin Sandoval, who

was projected to succeed Partee at quarterback, chose instead to return as the starting catcher for the Royals’ highly ranked baseball team.

“There’s no ill will or anything like that, it’s just the timing of everything,” Fowle said. “We sure would have a better shot if guys could play both sports, but the way the (COVID) guidelines were written made that really difficult.”

Rhys Morgan, a 6-foot and 190-pound senior who made 19 solo tackles at linebacker last year, will give the Royals a physical presence at quarterback this season.

He will have a big and experienced target at tight end in 6-4 and 225-pound George Tracewell.

Morgan, Tracewell, and offensive linemen Jorge Medina and Korey Becker are the team’s senior leaders. Majied Alfar Diaz, a 6-3 and 265-pound junior, will

add a big presence to the line.

Junior receiver and defensive back Lance Bermudes is also stepping up, Fowle said.

Noah Duenas, who made 48 tackles at linebacker last season, will be the featured back in this year’s San Marcos offense.

“Sophomore Patrick Kelly and senior Aaron Broumand will also be carrying the ball,” Fowle said. “It’ll be running back by committee.”

Senior cornerback Andre Castillo, junior receiverlinebacker Benji Rodriguez, and junior linebacker Matt Garcia also figure to play prominent roles for San Marcos.

Fowle plans to keep his offensive strategy simple for tonight’s Big Game: “Whatever can keep their Channel League Player of the Year off the field, that will be our game plan.” email: mpatton@newspress.com

SPORTS ROUNDUP

Late-game rally helps Westmont advance in NAIA Tournament

By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The Westmont women’s basketball team saved their best for last on Thursday.

The No. 2 Warriors (12-1) outscored the No. 15 seed Lyon, Ark. by 10 points in the final quarter to come away with a 66-60 victory in Sioux City, Iowa.

Westmont was led by junior Iyree Jarrett, who scored a game-high 30 points on 8-19 shooting, including 4-8 of three-point range.

Fellow junior Stefanie Berberabe added 18 points, including three three-pointers. No other Warrior scored more than six points.

Westmont led 17-14 after one, but the Fighting Scots (15-1) outscored the Warriors 21-12 in the second quarter to take a six-point halftime lead.

“Lyon is a tough team,” said head coach Kirsten Moore after the game.

“It was a game that tested our resolve and our ability to handle another team playing well and being very physical. Those are some of the things we are used to doing well. We

were able to stay composed, come out of halftime and respond. We made some adjustments that helped, especially on the defensive end.”

Westmont used a 10-0 run to open the second half to jump ahead 39-35, capped off by a field goal by Sydney Brown.

Lyon’s Paige Kelley’s inside score with nine seconds left in the third gave the Fighting Scots a 50-46 advantage heading to the fourth. Kelley finished with a team-high 19, while Katie Turner added 16 points in the loss.

Jarrett, who dropped 12 points in the fourth quarter alone, gave Westmont a 56-52 lead with 5:39 left on a three-pointer.

“Iyree was in attack mode from the tip and she has been this whole postseason,” said Moore. “She is a First Team All-American for a reason. She is a phenomenal player. I love that when we were struggling to get going offensively from the perimeter, she found a way to finish inside, to attack and to get to the free throw line.

“She made a lot of good things happen, in addition to hitting some good

shots from outside.”

Leading 59-54 with 3:49 left, Kaitlin Larson drained a three to make it an eight-point game.

Lyon drew within three, 63-60, with 1:17 left, but Westmont was able to knock down three of its four attempts from the charity stripe down the stretch to close out the game.

With the win, the Warriors advance to Saturday’s quarterfinals to face the winner of the Clarke (Iowa) and MidAmerican Nazarene (Kan.) game.

On the women’s side, Teagan Matye scored both goals for the Warriors in their 2-1 victory over Vanguard.

Matte’s first came just 28 seconds after kickoff, and her second, in the 52nd minute, gave Westmont a 2-0 lead.

The Warriors, who outshot the Lions, 18-5, improved to 3-2-0 overall and 3-0-0 in the Golden State Athletic Conference.

Big West member schools will now be allowed to exercise “institutional discretion” regarding fan attendance at spring sport events.

The Big West Conference updated its policy on spectators on Thursday. While UCSB’s campus remains closed, the university will continue to hold events with no fans in attendance, according to officials.

“UCSB Athletics, along with senior campus leadership, will continue to evaluate the situation and revisit it in the future,” read a statement from UCSB.

Samuel Tuscano, Owen Bates and Braeden Pryor all found the back of the net for the Westmont men in their 3-0 win over Vanguard on Thursday afternoon at Westmot.

Tuscano scored what turned out to be the game winner in the 10th minute. Bates scored his in the 65th and Pryor added the Warriors’ final goal in the 68th.

Vanguard outshot Westmont, 209. The Warriors improved to 4-1-0 overall and 3-0-0 in the Golden State Athletic Conference.

The menu at CHOMP on the Rocks has burgers, fries and shakes with a mid-century flair.

It’s the kind of restaurant kids beg their parents to eat at.

“Because (CHOMP) is so family orientated, I figured it’d be great for us because we are a family museum,” Mr. Gorga said.

At the top of the building sits the Outdoors Santa Barbara Visitor Center, a partnership of the museum, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Channel Islands National Park and the city of Santa Barbara.

The visitors center is still open, though the seating on the patio is closed. Mr. Gorga describes the patio’s sightline as “the best view in Santa Barbara.”

It overlooks downtown, the mountains and an expanse of the ocean so wide visitors can see the curve of the world.

As Mr. Gorga looks out at the ocean, it’s obvious he loves the sea. And perhaps more importantly, he is passionate about telling people about the sea.

“At 10 o’clock today, we had a young family with two kids,

The News-Press reached out to the California Department of Public Health about the reasons behind some of the guidelines for bars, such as why they are required to serve food but other establishments are not, how wineries were never required to serve food and why the food requirement exists.

In response to the questions, the department’s Office of Communications wrote, “An interview is not doable at this time.”

However, the department provided this statement regarding its food and beverage service guidelines: “California’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy is intentionally slow and stringent to help slow and stop the spread of COVID-19. The Blueprint, guided by data and science, imposes riskbased criteria on tightening and loosening allowable activities in a given county.” The office continued, “This criteria applies to business sectors as well as activities. We know that the more people mix with others outside

their household, either at private gatherings or at businesses, the greater the risk of COVID-19 transmission.”

The manager at Uptown Bar and Lounge on upper State Street, Tysen, said he believes the state guidelines are fair to bars, but noted they pose challenges.

“It’s just operating and being successful with the service is the

biggest thing,” Tysen, who declined to give his last name, told the NewsPress. “Under these guidelines, it’s really hard to be successful with how we’re operating. … We have to have the right employees in the right places at the right times, because if we don’t, we fall apart and service goes out the window.”

Uptown served food prior to the pandemic, but cooks were able

to leave at a certain time every night when the kitchen closed.

Now, when the bar’s open, the cooks have to be there as well, and Uptown had to cut down its menu and stick to the basic dishes.

“One of the hardest things is labor costs of our kitchen guys and trying to operate within a budget to be successful,” Tysen said. “Now we have to keep them on for all hours of operation.”

That being said, the bar’s large outdoor patios have kept its head above water, although Uptown had to remain closed for the month of February, which is the slowest month of the year for business.

“It’s just been kind of a back-andforth game. That part as a manager I don’t really like that much,” Tysen said. “It would’ve been nice to just be shut down for a while instead of shut down, open, shut down, open.

That part has just been challenging for us to keep our doors open.”

County Public Health Environmental Health Services was unable to answer the questions regarding the reasons behind the guidelines, as they were made by the state. However, the department did say it understands the changes in requirements can be confusing.

“To help our local businesses understand and adapt to the

changing requirements, we regularly send out updates,” Environmental Health Services said in a statement to the NewsPress. “Our staff continues to visit businesses and conduct food safety inspections. During these inspections, staff provides information on COVID-19 requirements and answers questions. Businesses can contact us at 805-346-8460 (press 3) if they have specific questions about state

Thomas Richard Allyn, M.D. passed away on March 12, 2021 with his beloved family by his side. Tom lived life on his terms and his passing was no different; he steered his own ship until the end.

Tom was born in Springfield, IL on July 24, 1946 to Richard Allyn, M.D. and Ruth Allyn, R.N. In his early years, Tom was an age group swimmer and was later named captain of his high school swim team where one of his records remains unbroken today. Tom completed his undergraduate studies at Northwestern University where he was president of his fraternity Beta Theta Pi. After graduating from Northwestern, Tom taught school in inner city Chicago for two years before moving on to Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. In his junior year, he was elected to the medical honor society Alpha Omega Alpha. Tom also served on the curriculum committee, was president of his residence hall, and received the Psychiatry Prize for his work with monoamine oxidase inhibitors and hypertension.

Upon graduating from Columbia, Tom moved on to Massachusetts General Hospital where he completed his internship, residency, and a fellowship in Nephrology. It was in his first days at MGH that he met his lifelong love, Denise. Tom and Denise married in 1975 and went on to have three wonderful children. They would have celebrated their 46th wedding anniversary this year.

After completing his studies at the MGH in 1979, Tom established the acute dialysis program and was Chief of Hemodialysis and acting Chief of Nephrology at Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, MA, also running a successful private practice at that time.

In 1981, the young family moved across the country to Santa Barbara where Tom joined Michael B. Fisher, M.D. in his Nephrology practice. Soon after moving to Santa Barbara, Tom was named Chief of Nephrology at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital and Co-Director of their Acute Dialysis program. He held these positions until 2016. Tom not only had an insatiable love of learning but was also a gifted and dedicated educator. He relished his time teaching Cottage’s medical residents, receiving the Excellence in Teaching Award every year from 1987 to 2007.

While at SBCH, Tom served as the Co-Chairman of the Medical Advisory Panel for several years, which was responsible for the development and implementation of many of SBCH’s important programs for patient care. Tom enjoyed writing about that process with Dr. Kenneth Cohn, receiving the Dean Conley Award from the American College of Healthcare Executives for the best paper in 2009.

In the 1980s, Drs. Allyn and Fisher established the Santa Barbara Artificial Kidney Center, the Lompoc Artificial Kidney Center, and the first successful multi-station dialysis center in Leòn, Mexico. Through these endeavors he helped care for thousands of patients over many decades.

Tom regularly acknowledged that he could not have accomplished any of the above without the strong support of his family and exceptional staff. He had such respect for his employees and a true love for his patients.

Although medicine was Tom’s lifelong passion, he took even greater pride and joy watching his children grow and excel in their lives: Jenny, a nurse practitioner in Nashville; Kim, a speech-language pathologist in San Francisco; and Paul, an Infectious Diseases physician at UCLA. In more recent years, Tom so enjoyed watching his grandchildren grow; each one bringing even more joy and love to his life. He was incredibly loving, supportive, and generous to his family and truly gave them a rich and beautiful life.

Tom is survived by his wife Denise, children Jenny (Dave), Kim (Chad), and Paul (Liz), grandchildren Summer (10), Christopher (9), Julia (7), William (4), and Taylor (1), as well as his siblings Barbara, Paul, and David.

Sounds of New Orleans Derek Douget Band’s concert to benefit Lobero Theatre

COURTESY PHOTOS

“We were trying to create what it would be like to hear a set of music under normal circumstances in the city of New Orleans,” jazz saxophonist Derek Douget said about this weekend’s live-streamed concert.

erek Douget grew up with a love for rhythm.

Just ask his family.

“I would take all my mom’s pots and pans and laundry containers and make myself a drum set,” the jazz saxophonist told the News-Press by phone from his New Orleans home. “I would turn on the radio and play along with the radio for hours. I mean, for hours!

“When I went to a (school) band concert, my sister played clarinet in the band. I saw another kid playing the saxophone,” Mr. Douget said. “I thought, ‘That’s what I’m going to do.’

“The next year, my parents rented a saxophone for me. I was pretty serious about playing music,” he said.

His love for jazz came at age 13 when he received recordings by three legends. “I heard early swing music with Count Basie, bebop with Charlie Parker and free jazz with Ornette Colemen.

“I knew I was going to be a jazz musician,” said Mr. Douget, a Gonzales, La., native who moved to New Orleans when he was 17.

“That was what I was going to be.”

Santa Barbara County jazz fans can watch Mr. Douget in action when the Derek Douget Band performs during “A Night in New Orleans.”

Recorded in the city known for Mardi Gras and all things jazz, the concert is live-streaming today through Sunday. Proceeds from the $15 tickets will benefit the

Lobero Theatre, and you can buy them at www.livefromthelobero. org.

Mr. Douget also has participated in a residency at the Lobero for the past several years. This year the Derek Douget Band has a program on YouTube about the history of American music. (See the FYI box.)

Mr. Douget and his band recorded this weekend’s Lobero benefit during a session in December and another in January at Esplanade Studios in New Orleans. He played with trumpeter Ashlin Parker, bassist Jason Stewart, pianist Victor Atkins, and vocalists Don Vappie and Herlin Riley. Mr. Vappie is also the banjoist and guitarist, and Mr. Riley plays the drums.

“We were trying to create what it would be like to hear a set of music under normal circumstances in the city of New Orleans,” Mr. Douget said.

“It’s not Dixieland,” he continued. “We play two tunes you would consider New Orleans tunes, and the rest are pretty much modern jazz.”

Mr. Douget chuckled about one of his favorite songs: “Tootie Ma Is A Big Fine Thing.”

He explained the song’s about a woman who tempts a man and pulls him away from his family.

“It’s a fun, spirited song that Herlin Riley sings. I don’t know if the microphone picks up all of us singing along during the session.

Everybody gets involved “I just like the energy of the song,” Mr. Douget said.

The concert also features

Trumpet Ashlin Parker performs with the Derek Douget Band.

Mr. Douget performing his composition, “Sir Remy,” which he wrote for a trio (saxophone, bass and drums) in honor of his sister Nicole Douget’s Labrador retriever.

“The melody is a fun vehicle for improvisation, and it’s written for my sister’s dog who’s no longer with us,” Mr. Douget said. “His name is Remy. He carried himself like he was royalty, so I always called him Sir Remy.”

Mr. Douget said he and his band members were glad to be playing together again after a long hiatus caused by COVID-19. He said the pandemic has been a strange time for musically active New Orleans.

“Even in a hurricane, people are hanging out in the French Quarter,” he said. “This is

unprecedented. New Orleans got hit by a wave of cases and a lot of deaths, and everybody became resigned to shutting everything down.”

Mr. Douget, who teaches private lessons and is an instructor at the University of New Orleans, said he and others were playing several gigs a week before the pandemic.

He described the recording sessions in New Orleans as “great and weird.” Mr. Douget explained he and his band members’ reflexes during improvisation weren’t as sharp as usual because of the long break from playing together.

“Under normal circumstances, when our reflexes are good, improvisation is the fun part.

When you haven’t been playing,

it’s kind of scary,” Mr. Douget said.

“It’s fun, but it’s also very scary.

“Practicing by yourself is vastly different from playing with other people,” Mr. Douget said. “Most of us haven’t been playing with other humans. Everybody was thankful for the experience, for the opportunity to play.”

Mr. Douget explained what drew him to jazz when he heard Count Basie and others as a kid.

“Just the fact that you have 16, 17 people playing together all for one purpose, playing their instruments at the highest level you can possibly be playing, all swinging and grooving together,” Mr. Douget said. “That to me was amazing.

“I heard all the joy in what they were playing, but I also heard the seriousness,” he said. “I was a somewhat serious person, even at a young age. It struck me as compelling. Why are these folks so serious about music? Why do they care so much about it?”

Mr. Douget went on to earn two degrees in jazz studies at the University of New Orleans: his bachelor’s in the late 1990s and his masters around 2010.

He also learned a lot from someone in an acclaimed jazz family: Ellis Marsalis Jr. (19342020), a pianist and educator and father of saxophonist Bradford Marsalis. (Mr. Douget played with both father and son.)

“I started playing with Ellis’ band when I was 18 or 19. I learned how to play in his band,” Mr. Douget said. “The method would be he would start playing a tune, but he never said what

the tune was. I had to figure out what the tune was by my ear, and I learned the chord changes. It was mostly improvised.

“You have to have the ability to listen and the ability to play around and throw ideas around with other members of the band,” he said.

Mr. Douget’s experiences included playing with Dr. John, a legendary New Orleans pianist and singer (1941-2019), during a benefit for the Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans.

“I got to meet Dr. John over the phone,” Mr. Douget said. “We hung out and talked. He was really humble, a down-home type of cat.

“He was not feeling well and had a cold, even had a fever,” Mr. Douget recalled. “He still came out and played and gave it a million percent. As soon as we started playing, he became alive and brought energy. It was a great show.” email: dmason@newspress.com

FYI The Derek Douget Band will perform today through Sunday during a live-streamed concert. Tickets cost $15, and proceeds will benefit the Lobero Theatre. To purchase, go to www.livefromthelobero.org.

The Derek Douget Band also has a virtual program about spirituals, folk music, blues, jazz, rock, pop and hip hop. You can watch “Derek Douget Band — A History of American Music” at www.youtube.com/watch?v=70yayTKA7.

Hancock College students earn scholarship SANTA MARIA — Allan Hancock College students Thomas Taylor and Rafael Valdovinos will each receive a $1,250 scholarship from the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation as part of the 2021 Academic Team Silver Scholars.

“These students displayed excellence in leadership and academics, and we are proud to see them representing Hancock as silver scholars,” said Dr. Kevin G. Walthers, Hancock’s president and superintendent. “Scholarships like these are imperative to helping students in reaching their career and educational goals.”

Allan Hancock College Foundation’s President’s Circle is matching the $1,250 by providing the Kathy Headtke/Mary Alice Majoue Scholarship to both scholars.

College administrators nominated Mr. Taylor and Mr. Valdovinos, and the selection

committee looked at their academic achievement, leadership and community engagement.

“We thank the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation for recognizing these student leaders and for investing in their futures,” said Dr. Lynn TincherLadner, president and CEO of Phi Theta Kappa.

Phi Theta Kappa, an international honors society with approximately 240,000 active members, will recognize the Coca-Cola Academic Team members during its annual convention April 8-10.

ARIES — You’re gifted in ways you don’t even know about, Aries. Today you may uncover that gift unexpectedly. Perhaps you doodle a silly drawing in the margin of a note to a friend.

Studying it reveals an idea that would be good for a children’s book illustration. Perhaps there are other things you could do with your life. Research other possibilities online.

TAURUS — A trip to a museum or gallery could bring you some interesting insights, Taurus. Maybe you will ignore the realistic paintings and photographs that used to interest you and admire the abstract works instead. They definitely capture your interest, and by the end of the day you may consider taking an art class to learn more about them.

GEMINI — Home and technology figure prominently today, Gemini. Perhaps you’ve just bought the latest gadget and want to spend the day figuring out how it works. You’re in your element!

A phone call from a distant friend could interrupt your project. You may speak for a long time, but you won’t mind the delay at all. It’s wonderful to talk to old friends.

CANCER — If you’ve wanted to get involved in some type of volunteer organization, today may be when you sign up to support a worthy cause. Whether it’s an envirnomental charity or a volunteer opportunity, you realize that working to better the planet is an important element that has been missing in your life.

Life glows all that much brighter with your new altruistic outlook, Cancer.

LEO — Your career is about to take a turn for the better, Leo. New professional possibilities may come your way today. Be receptive to any invitations or offers. Your advancement may not come in the most traditional way, so you need to pay close attention.

Don’t overlook something that seems beyond your capabilities.

Your reach should always exceed your grasp. Stretch!

VIRGO — Anticipation is often as good as, if not better than, the actual event, Virgo. This is what you experience today as you and your partner plan an exciting getaway. It’s a busy day, booking hotels and airline tickets, but it’s fun, too. You and your mate are Monday, November 16, 2015 giddy with the excitement of it all.

This is just what your relationship needs.

LIBRA — Past issues may rear their ugly heads today, Libra. No, it isn’t pretty. In fact, it’s frustrating to have to deal with this problem again. You will be well served to spend time meditating. You need to address these issues once and for all or they will continue to haunt you.

You’re fortunate to have such close friends who will support you through this difficult process.

SCORPIO — Romance is in the air, Scorpio, filtering your vision with a rosy light. You’re in love with the world today, and you’re most especially in love with your partner. If you don’t already have a partner, you may meet him or her today. Since you never know when or where, make sure to look your best throughout the day.

SAGITTARIUS — All sorts of wonderful changes are in the air at home and at work, Sagittarius.

On the personal front, someone new is likely to enter your life and change it for the better. At work, perhaps a proposal you submitted has been accepted or you landed a deal you’ve been working on for some time. Enjoy this auspicious celestial energy!

CAPRICORN — There’s a big world out there beckoning to you, Capricorn. Why not plan an adventure to a faraway land?

You’ve been working hard and deserve a reward. If you can’t take time off right now, at least contact a travel agent or do some research online. Surround yourself with pamphlets and images of foreign cities. Even though you know you can’t travel to them now, you know you will get there soon.

AQUARIUS — Today, Aquarius, you’re likely to undertake some seemingly urgent decorating projects in order to get your home in tip-top shape. It could be that a few minor purchases are all that’s needed. But you may decide you can’t live with the color of the bedroom one moment longer and take matters into your own hands and do the job yourself. You will be exhausted but pleased by the end of the day.

PISCES — If you aren’t traveling today, Pisces, you will likely take a big trip soon. It seems that you will be sharing a room with someone special. A close friend or significant other may accompany you. You can look forward to all the romantic possibilities that come with exploring new lands together. It’s bound to be a wonderful trip.

CODEWORD PUZZLE

SUDOKU

Thought for Today

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.
