Four victims were shot in the 1200 block of Liberty Street in Santa Barbara at approximately 5:40 p.m. Sunday, according to Santa Barbara police. One victim suffered a fatal gunshot wound, and another was transported to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital with lifethreatening injuries, police reported. The other two were treated for minor injuries. The suspect(s) fled the scene.

The Santa Barbara Police Department is investigating the incident as street gang-related, spokesman Anthony Wagner told the News-Press. Santa Barbara city fire and police departments as well as American Medical Response arrived on scene. Anyone with information is urged to call the SBPD detective division at 805-897-2335 or the anonymous tip line at 805-5692677. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Small businesses in Carpinteria are clinging to customers during the regional stay-at-home order. Each business is impacted differently, as health officer orders are not a one-size-fits-all. “The community has been wonderful about coming out as far as shopping for the holidays, but we’re moving into January and February, which are usually the two worst sales months of the entire year. And the slowest month of the entire year,” said Kristin Fraser, owner of Seaside Makers Collective at 961 Linden Ave. in Carpinteria, and the Grapeseed Company. “It’s hard enough to keep a business open, but keeping staff during this is extremely hard as well, just with business not being what it normally is,” she said. Because hotels and vacation rentals are closed to tourism, businesses get most of their customers locally, though they also see visitors from nearby cities coming to spend a day in Carpinteria. Paul Wright, owner of Island Brewing Company at 5049 6th St., has noticed people driving to Carpinteria from Los Angeles. He describes his tasting room as a place for community members to gather and hang out. “We get a lot of calls saying, ‘Are you open? Are you guys open for the patio?’ And of course we’re not. We should know that by now. Good grief, nobody’s open,” he said. “We still encourage them to come in and get some beer to-go, but that’s all we can do right now.” He sells six-packs, growlers and kegs to-go, but he’s still had to furlough staff. “It’s tough all around,” he said.”You drive down the street, and there’s a number of places that are shut and closed. And you

But his tasting room is around 60% of his income, he estimates. When the county was in the purple tier, he had to serve food alongside the drinks. He bought and sold local food and even brought in food trucks. Ms. Fraser has adapted too. She is currently converting a trailer into a mobile retail space. She is also creating baskets that customers can order to have delivered — a perfect match for Please see carp on A7

Several weak storm systems are expected to move through Santa Barbara County starting today, bringing a chance of rainfall to the area. An upper level, low-pressure system is on target to form south of Alaska and move through northern California today. It will carry a cold front that will work its way down the coast. “While this system is not as impressive as we were looking at a few days ago, light rain is likely across San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties (today) and (this) evening,” read the forecast report by the National Weather Service in Oxnard. Rainfall amounts are not expected to be more than a quarter-inch, while up to a half-inch is possible over the Santa Lucia Range. A 10% chance of rain is forecast

today, with a 20% chance this evening. In addition to the rainfall, northwest wind gusts between 25 to 45 mph will “quickly follow the rain threat” later tonight into Tuesday, when a warming trend will begin, according to the National Weather Service. Temperatures will be in the mid-60s through Friday, according to officials. One or two additional lowpressure systems are projected for the West Coast, though all projections as of this weekend said that little rain was expected. “Wednesday and Friday still look to be the windows of opportunity, with the Friday system having a better chance of bringing rain from Santa Barbara county northward,” the report noted. There will again be potential for gusty northwest to north winds Wednesday and Thursday, as well as the weekend.

Business booms for Goleta drive-in theater during pandemic

KENNETH SONG / NEWS-PRESS PHOTOS

Cars full of moviegoers watch a screening of the 2016 superhero film “Deadpool” in July at the West Wind Drive-In Theater in Goleta.

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

These days, it seems like no business can stick to its traditional model while following COVID-19 regulations. However, there is one business that actually benefited greatly from the pandemic, and many may not even be aware that it reopened after a year-long closure. West Wind Drive-In Theater in Goleta had been open since the 1960s and closed in early 2019 for a year. Located at 907 S. Kellogg Ave., it reopened at the end of May 2020. Since then, it’s been packed with more cars than ever before. “We’re actually doing better during the pandemic than we’ve ever done in the history of West Wind Theaters. It’s amazing,” James Millegan, the general manager of the Goleta location, told the News-Press. “Us and Amazon.” These days, “slow” nights at the West Wind, such as Mondays or Wednesdays, average at about 30 to 50 cars or 100 people. On a good weekend night, the drive-in theater sees an average of about 150 cars or 300 people throughout the two shows, one at 5:30 p.m. and the other at 7:30 p.m., according to Mr. Millegan. Kids’ movies and/or cartoons always do the best, since children only cost $2 to enter the drive-in. Adults are $8.75, children 4 years old and under are always free, and Tuesday is “Family Fun Night,” where it’s $5.75 per person and $2 for children 5 to 11 years old. “We are doing way better than the previous time we were open,” Mr. Millegan said. “Part of that is COVID — there’s not much else to do.” When the West Wind Drive-In closed in 2019, Mr. Millegan said the theater was averaging maybe three or four cars per night.

A sign at the Goleta theater indicates that business is open during the pandemic.

“It was really bad. People just kind of forgot about the place,” he said. However, things improved when West Wind began to up its advertising and partnered with UCSB Arts & Lectures, which was holding screenings nearly every week at the drive-in and advertising exclusive showings. Other organizations have shown movies at the drive-in as well. “We’ve seen a definite increase,” the general manager said. “People realized once this place closed down that they missed it. People started to bring their kids and their grandkids, reminiscing.” While he didn’t know off the top of his head the percentage

increase of revenue this year, Mr. Millegan said, “I can tell you, this year alone as a division … We’re set to break records.” In addition to the Goleta site, West Wind has other locations throughout California, Nevada and Arizona. The Goleta drive-in’s concession stand is up and operating, with all the necessary movie theater snacks: popcorn, nachos, candy and slushies. All customers are required to wear masks in the concession building, where there’s plenty of space for social distancing. Mr. Millegan said staff has had to control the lines for restrooms on busy nights, but other than that, it’s been smooth sailing.

“People have actually been very understanding and compliant with the rules,” he said. The new “Wonder Woman 1984” film was in its second week of showings when the News-Press arrived Wednesday to visit the drivein. The previous weekend’s showings of “Wonder Woman” had attracted well more than 100 cars each night, according to Mr. Millegan. Nathan Severson is a staff member at the West Wind DriveIn Theater in Goleta, and he gave motorists and their passengers instructions at the ticket office on Wednesday. He said some movies are still hit or miss based on their popularity, but the theater sees at least 30 cars every night. On Wednesday,

the 5:30 p.m. showing of the new movie “Monster Hunter” gattracted around 30 cars, and by the time “Wonder Woman” was playing, close to 100 cars packed half the lot. “We’re getting a lot of first timers,” Mr. Severson told the News-Press. “There are one or two every night that say, ‘It’s my first time here at a drive-in.’” He said the West Wind Drive-In in Goleta is lucky and in a unique position compared to indoor

movie theaters, which are unable to operate. “It’s the only moviegoing experience left inside COVID,” Mr. Severson said. Online ticketing is coming soon, but for now, tickets for movies can be purchased at the box office on the way into the lot.

.H. has a delightful little silverplate dish, a curling stylized leaf upon which perches a silverplate squirrel. And the stamp on the bottom says “Hatford Silver Co., Silver plate.” J.H. knows her grandmother used the plate for nuts in the front room because she remembers a set of nutcrackers that to her childish ears sounded like castanets. This is correct. It was designed as a nut dish, but it was not meant to go in her grandmother’s front room. It was designed for formal dining, and this form – the squirrel on a dish — was used by many silver makers during the last decade of the 19th century. This is in the spirit of the era, which loved allegory and metaphor in material objects, such as the cow finial on the top of a butter dish and the squirrel perched onto a nut dish. Instead of embracing our modern aesthetic that focuses on geometric lines (form over function), people in the late 19th century coveted objects that had function bastioned by imagery of that function. Grape shears had grapevine designs, and lemonade pitchers had little lemons embossed in silverplate. When I see evocative imagery on a piece of silver, I know it is from 1875-1900. I said the nut dish was

not designed to go into J.. grandmother’s front room. It was meant for a very long formal dinner. And the dinner typically had such nut bowls placed down a grand table — perhaps a set of four identical dishes located within the long and massive centerpiece arrangement, which consisted of flowers, beautiful fruit bows, little condiment silver bowls for fine chocolates and glace fruit. Diners would reach out to pluck a few at any time during the meal but were not expected to take a piece of fruit until the last course. Here’s how dinner went, as you read this over your cereal bowl this morning. Dinner would be called at 8 p.m., and you would be served, in a very formal style, the first course of hot soup, at which point the wines would be poured, water and rolls brought, and a fine small plate offered upon each placemat of a cold appetizer. When this course was whisked away, the butlers placed a service plate upon your placemat because no diner should ever see the bare cloth of the table. Now a platter would be offered of the second course — game or fish. Again, this would be whisked away, and the butlers would come in laden with larger platters upon which was the main course. It was distinguished because the main course was the only one in which you were offered a mixed bag of roast beef, fowl or game and drier vegetables (not watery types) along with potatoes, from one platter. You indicate what you wanted, and the butlers would serve. Again, your plate would be whisked away when most of the guests had finished this course. Heaven forbid you were a slow eater. The fourth course was a salad course, and for this the wine menu changed entirely so as not

to disturb your palette because of the salad dressing (which was acidic). You would be poured a style of wine that would not fight with the dressing, and at this point the butlers would pass a cheese platter, from which you would select and place a piece upon your salad plate when cheese biscuits were offered. That course was whisked away, followed by dessert. This dessert course necessitated that the entire table be cleared of anything that was not related to dessert, down to the salt and peppers. And then that course was whisked away. Now came J.H.’s nut dishes. This was during the fruit course, and guests could select a piece of fruit from the beautiful fruit bowls at the center of the table. At this point, a guest may have picked up a little dish like J.H.’s and selected a few nuts to accompany the fruit and perhaps passed this little dish to his partner. This is why something is completed as “soup to nuts.” So we see that as lovely as J.H.’s grandmother’s front room might have been, the little squirrel was used to something much grander as he was once a part of a massive formal dinner. Collectors love these little squirrel bowls, as they were quite the style for the upper middle class (in silverplate) and upper class (in sterling of course), so the value is $250. Dr. Elizabeth Stewart’s “Ask the Gold Digger” column appears Mondays in the News-Press Life section. Written after her father’s COVID-19 diagnosis, Dr. Stewart’s book “My Darlin’ Quarantine: Intimate Connections Created in Chaos” is a humorous collection of five “what-if” short stories that end in personal triumphs over present-day constrictions. It’s available at Chaucer’s in Santa Barbara.

This form — the squirrel on a dish — was used by many silver makers during the last decade of the 19th century.

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.

Business owners dealing with difficulties during pandemic carp

Continued from Page A1 Valentine’s Day. “We’re doing the best we can with that kind of stuff, but quite frankly, no matter what we do with that kind of stuff it’s not going to measure up to having a retail store open every day in a tourist town, when there’s no tourism happening,� she said. She also has a location in the Funk Zone in Santa Barbara. That storefront has been hit worse. “I’d say Carp has not been hit as hard as the Funk Zone has, quite frankly. That store has seen a lot less foot traffic since the shutdown than the Carp store,� she said. “But I personally think that’s because people come to the Funk Zone to eat and drink primarily, you know, that’s their main focus or going to the gym. Whereas Carp, people come to park for other reasons.� Ms. Fraser is glad, though, that she can operate her storefronts during the stay-at-home order. Retail was discouraged in the first lockdown. Sal Lucido noticed a change in sales, but not as drastically as he expected. “We only seemed to take about a 10 or 15% hit during those initial months before we were completely shut down,� he said. He and his wife recently closed Island Outfitters on Linden, a retirement he planned before the pandemic.

“So I mean, I think Carpenteria is somewhat depressed there’s no tourists,� he said. “So that affected us and then I think the campground closed down; that affected us. So, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was gonna be, but it was still bad.� In contrast, Giovanni’s, a pizza restaurant at 5003 Carpinteria Ave., has been doing fairly well. Manager Julio Resendiz says business has been all local, and about half of the orders are delivery. During the first shutdown, people weren’t sure if Giovanni’s was open. But now, pickup and delivery orders fill the day. An additional layer to the struggles of business owners, Ms. Fraser has noticed an increase in break-ins and vandalism along Linden Ave. “I wish our community leaders, police, all of that were out patrolling and supporting and seeing what’s going on more,� she said. “We need more help supporting our community and our businesses because they’re all going to be gone by the summer if we don’t get that.� She is applying for small business assistance from the latest relief package, but she is not optimistic about the result. “It’s going to be a tough winter to get through for sure. I mean, we know that,� she said. “We’re just committed to trying to stay as positive as we can and being here for the community.� email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

New California state laws take effect By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

As the clock struck midnight marking the start of 2021, many new California state laws took effect. The laws included a number of topics, including minimum wage, COVID-19, driving, sick leave, safety and others. Some of the new laws dealing with employment in the workplace included: Assembly Bill 685, Potential COVID-19 Exposure Notification: Requires all employers to promptly notify employees of potential coronavirus exposure, as well as local public health officials, after someone at the worksite tests positive for COVID-19, receives a medical diagnosis, and/or receives an isolation order. This law also expands Cal/ OSHA’s authority to shut down a worksite if the agency deems it an imminent hazard; Minimum Wage Increase: California’s minimum wage increases to $14 per hour for businesses employing 26 or more people, and $13 per hour for businesses that have 25 or fewer employees; AB 2992, Expanded Leave for Crime Victims: Extends job-protected leave for victims of crime or abuse causing physical or mental injury and a threat of physical injury. This law also requires companies with 25 or more employees to provide these victims with time off work to seek medical attention or psychological counseling for their injuries, participate in safety planning, or get help from other related organizations; AB979, Corporations and Underrepresented Communities: California-based companies must have at least one board director by the end of 2021 who is a racial or sexual minority. By 2022, that bumps to two such directors for smaller boards and to three for boards with nine or more directors. It follows a similar California-first requirement for female board directors. Companies with 100 or more employees must provide the state information on employees’ race, ethnicity and gender in various job categories, information that could help the state identify pay disparities; Senate Bill 1383, Family and Medical Leave Expansion for Small Businesses: Requires small employers with as few as five employees to provide up to 12 workweeks of unpaid, jobprotected leave to their employees for qualifying life events such as serious health problems, birth of a child, and military active duty. Only employees who have worked for the company for more than 12 months, and for more than 1,250 hours during the previous 12-month period are eligible. Additionally, if both parents of a child work for the same company, each of the parents will receive 12 workweeks leave.

Other new laws include: Hospitals must maintain a three-month supply of personal protective equipment such as masks and gloves and supply it to endangered employees. The state itself must also build a stockpile under a separate law; AB 3075, New Successor Liability Risks: Companies that have acquired another business through a merger or consolidation that have similar operations will now be liable for any wages, damages, and penalties owed by the predecessor to its employees; AB 2017, Kin Care Leave: Gives employees the power to use their sick days at their sole discretion. Businesses cannot deny an employee’s use of their sick days for whatever reason the employee deems necessary; and SB 973, Annual Report Pay Data: Designed to address the state’s gender wage gap, this law requires private companies with 100 or more employees to submit a pay data report to the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) agency every year. The report shall contain speciďŹ ed wage information tied to race, ethnicity, and sex. This law would “authorize the DFEH to receive, investigate, conciliate, mediate, and prosecute complaints alleging practices unlawful under current discriminatory wage rate provisions.â€? A number of new laws regarding public safety and criminal justice have also taken effect, including: SB 145, Sex Offenders Registration: The Sex Offender Registration Act, requires a person convicted of certain crimes to register with law enforcement as a sex offender while residing in California or while attending school or working in California. This bill would exempt a person convicted of certain offenses involving minors, if the person is not more than 10 years older than the minor, from mandatory registration as a sex offender, and if that offense is the only one requiring the person to register; SB 230, Law enforcement Use of Deadly Force Policies: Requires each law enforcement agency to maintain a policy that provides guidelines on the use of force, utilizing de-escalation techniques and other alternatives to force whenever possible, specific guidelines for the application of deadly force, and factors for evaluating and reviewing all use of force incidents. It will also require each agency to make its use of force policy available to the public; AB 1185, Sheriff Oversight: Gives county supervisors greater oversight of county sheriffs. “This bill would authorize a county to establish a sheriff oversight board to assist the board of supervisors with those duties as they relate to the sheriff, either by action of the board of supervisors or through a vote of county residents.â€? AB 1196, Use of Force: Prohibits Police

from using carotid restraints or chokeholds. “By requiring local agencies to amend use of force policies, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.�; AB 2147, Expungement of Incarcerated Individual Hand Crews: This law allows inmates who work in the state’s fire camps the opportunity to clear their records upon release. “The bill would make persons convicted of specified violent felonies and sex offenses ineligible for relief.� This law is meant to reward the hard work of inmate firefighters battling disastrous wildfires throughout the state and would present them with the possibility of working in a professional capacity as firefighters after their release; AB 3267: State Emergency Plan: The Governor’s Office of Emergency Services must take into account the needs of the elderly, children, those with language barriers, or physical or mental disabilities when updating the State Emergency Plan; AB 2658, Occupational Safety and Health for Domestic Workers: Employers can’t force domestic workers to work during an evacuation, whether the danger is from fire or the coronavirus. “The bill would make it a crime for a person, after receiving notice to evacuate or leave, to willfully and knowingly direct an employee to remain in, or enter, an area closed under prescribed provisions of law due to a menace to the public health or safety.�; and SB 203, Juveniles Custodial Interrogation: Youths up to age 17 can’t be questioned by police or waive their rights until they have a chance to consult with an attorney. “The bill would direct a court to consider any willful failure of a law enforcement officer to allow a youth 17 years of age or younger to speak with counsel before a custodial interrogation in determining the credibility of that law enforcement officer.� New traffic safety laws also took effect on Friday, including: AB 2285, Establishes potential fines for motorists who do not slow down and, whenever possible, change lanes when encountering a Caltrans vehicle, tow truck, or any emergency vehicle with lights flashing on a highway. However, AB 2285 does not specify that motorists must move over if there might be conflicts with other drivers, or conditions don’t allow for it. But they must slow down. Otherwise, CHP officers could write them a $50 ticket; AB 2717, Unattended Children Liability: Amends existing law concerning leaving children under the age of 6 unattended in vehicles. Exempts a Good Samaritan who rescues an endangered child from a locked vehicle from civil and criminal liability, “if the property damage or trespass occurs while the person is rescuing a child 6 years of age or younger.�; and Emergency vehicles can use

a distinctive “Hi-Lo� warning sound to notify the public of an immediate need to evacuate an area in an emergency under a law that took effect in September New laws pertaining to wildfires are also now in effect, including: AB3074, Brush Clearance: Homeowners in fireprone areas must further reduce vegetation within 100 feet of structures, including eliminating vegetation immediately adjacent

to structures, though the rule can’t be enforced until the state develops regulations and lawmakers provide money for beefed-up inspections. As mentioned above, the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services must take into account the needs of the elderly, children, those with language barriers or physical or mental disabilities when updating the State Emergency Plan; AB2756, Insurance Code:

Insurers must prominently notify policyholders if their offer to renew a policy reduces coverage, such as eliminating fire protection, and get it acknowledged in writing; AND AB2658, Evacuations and Work: Employers can’t force domestic workers to work during an evacuation, whether the danger is from fire or the coronavirus. email: mwhite@newspress.com
