A stone’s throw from hope Gem Faire brings sparkle to showgrounds

SB City Council to discuss stay-at-home order By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

KENNETH SONG / NEWS-PRESS PHOTOS

Clamp lights cast a spotlight on a variety of gems for sale. Each vendor had a different offering, some focusing on raw stones and others selling beads and jewelry.

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Gem Faire spent a weekend at the Earl Warren Showgrounds, its first California show since mid-March. The marketplace travels along the West Coast, sometimes dipping into the Midwest, selling gems almost every weekend of the year

— except, of course, this year. The fair has just begun traveling again. “Most of us are out here on a gamble because we didn’t know what it was going to be like post-COVID,” said Michele, one of the owners of QRZ, inc who did not want to give her last name. Booths were spaced apart, and Clorox wipes, hand sanitizer and gloves sat on the

tables. A few vendors inconsistently wore their masks, but most adhered to guidelines. The products varied from large chunks of raw crystals to polished jewelry. Customers could nab a string of beads for a dollar or spend thousands on a substantial piece. The show takes a lot of effort. Vendors from all over the West Coast pack up thousands of Please see gem on A8

SBUSD revisits hybrid plans By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The board of the Santa Barbara Unified School District meets at 6:30 Tuesday with a full agenda. The largest discussion point is the return to in-person learning. Friday, during a special meeting of the board, returning board members Laura Capps and Wendy Sims-Moten took the oath of office alongside newly elected member Virginia Alvarez. As previously decided by the board, schools will reopen for hybrid learning when Santa Barbara County reaches the red, or “substantial,” tier. During the Dec. 1 meeting, the board did not officially take action on a waiver to open elementary schools in the purple tier, as public health officials decided just prior that they wouldn’t review applications. Susan Klein-Rothschild, Santa Barbara County Public Health Department deputy director, will present an update on the county’s case rate. The rate must be below 14 cases per 100,000 population for SBCPHD to review reopening waivers. The case rate as of Saturday was 14.4. In an email to the News-Press Thursday, Superintendent Hilda Maldonado expressed that district administrators were ready to open campuses for hybrid learning. “As soon as it is deemed safe and is permitted by county Public Health — and in consultation with our school board — Santa Barbara Unified is ready to move forward with in-person, hybrid learning,

and has all appropriate plans ready to go,” she said. According to the board presentation posted in advance of the meeting, 25% of families preferred distance learning to hybrid for the January-June semester. In an October poll, 15% of families voted not to return for hybrid learning when responding to the question: “Are you comfortable with your student returning to campus for two days a week when SB Unified reopens for hybrid in-person learning?” Attendance, transfers and student success will be discussed by administrators. Fewer D and F grades are given, but more students have three or more D and Fs than last year. “We believe that the best learning takes place in person, in a classroom environment, where teachers can make personal connections with each and every student,” Superintendent Maldonado said in an email. Dr. John Becchio, assistant superintendent of human resources, will give a hiring update. In order to reopen for hybrid learning, more personnel are needed. The presentation indicates that the district has filled 10 out of 20 paraprofessional positions, all the floater custodian positions, five out of 11 playground supervisor roles and 29 out of 40 substitute teacher positions. The next meeting of the board is scheduled for Jan. 5. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

The Santa Barbara City Council will consider and discuss the county’s request to Gov. Gavin Newsom to create a new Central Coast region consisting of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Ventura counties. The Central Coast region would then be released from the regional stay-at-home order as long as ICU capacity remains above 15%. If authorized, Mayor Cathy Murillo would sign a letter to the governor consistent with this request. In other business, the council will receive an update on city actions to address homelessness, including efforts by the Santa Barbara Alliance for Community Transformation on the Santa Barbara City Homelessness Collaborative and City Net on outreach and response. Council members will be recommended to approve an increase of $50,000 in appropriations in the Revolving Rehab Loan Fund, funded from its reserves, to facilitate a request from SB ACT for additional funding to offset unplanned costs incurred from the agency’s response to the pandemic. They’ll also be asked to approve a $330,000 increase in estimated revenues and appropriations in the Permanent Local Housing Allocation, with funding from PLHA funds awarded by the State of California Housing

and Community Development Department to fund a new oneyear contract with City Net. “Beginning in Fiscal Year 2013, City Council has appropriated funding annually for homeless collaboration, recognizing that homelessness is a complex social issue that cannot be solved by the city alone,” the staff report reads. “Since Council’s approval, this collaborative has worked to prevent homelessness, foster mutual accountability, coordinate service delivery, and improve access for those living on the streets.” The Parks and Recreation Department and the City Attorney’s office are also proposing amendments to the Municipal Code pertaining to permits and regulations for special events, including parades, athletic events and other special events in parks or requiring the closure of streets and other public rights of way. The proposed amendments, referred to as the City of Santa Barbara Special Events Ordinance, would establish the process for permitting and regulating all special events, such as athletic events, festivals, parades, public assemblies, demonstrations and other special activities in and on City parks, beaches, streets, sidewalk, and plazas. “The city has historically used administrative guidelines to Please see council on A6

The ‘UltiMUTT’ Book for Dog Lovers Two Carpinteria residents share stories about beloved pets

“She had the innate ability to be right there in the moment,” Leana Orsua said about Roxy.

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

“If You’re Not Covered in Dog Hair, Your Life Is Empty!” So reads the subtitle for “The UltiMUTT” Book for Dog Lovers,” a collection of 12 “tails” about dogs and their owners, published by Dare to Dream Knockout Publishing for $30 in color and $7 in black and white. Debbi Dachinger, who compiled the stories, dedicates the 182page, soft cover book “To all our dogs, past, present and future, who are our loves, life savers, protectors, favorite comedians, teachers, best friends, heart menders, foot warmers, selfie buddies, bathroom escorts, bed stealers, fluffy alarm clocks, playful therapists, beautiful, forgiving, pure magic and always there.” Hal Price and Leana Orsua, both of Carpinteria, can relate. Two of their stories are included in the book “Rescue Reilly: The COVID-19 Super Dog” by Mr. Price and “Roxy to the Rescue: In Memory of Denise Cohen” by Ms. Orsua. The author of 11 international bestselling books as well as storybooks for children, Mr. Price tells his story from the creative perspective of Rescue Reilly, who he adopted in March from The Little Dog House in Goleta. “I have Rescue Reilly share what life was like before I took him home — how he was found, along with four other newborns, in a Burrito Grande cardboard box next to a Taco Bell dumpster in Camarillo, taken to Ventura County Animal Services and then to Goleta,” Mr. Price told the News-Press. “In my story, I have Reilly listening to other dogs at the shelter, making them comfortable, soothing them. He was a healing dog because he had a heart murmur.” Rescue Reilly “writes” in the book that his heart was tested at the animal shelter, where a heart murmur was detected: “Each day as a new animal was admitted, I welcomed them quietly with my heart as it murmured loving messages to them. I always tried to calm them down when they first arrived at our noisy and sometimes chaotic location. “By day, they were loved and cared for by the staff, but at night when the staff was gone and my new friends were all alone in their cages, I had my heart murmur to soothe them and bring them

peace.” During this time, the puppy, a mix of Maltese/terrier/poodle, was named Justin but as Reilly “writes” in the book, “As Hal and Maggie were leaving the shelter, I heard them discussing names for me. As they passed the auto repair store next door to The Little Dog House, Hal looked up and saw the name O’Reilly Auto Parts and said, ‘This dog is NOT A JUSTIN! Let’s name this little guy something a little more unique . . . How about RESCUE REILLY? Because today, we have all been RESCUED in some profound way.” Not only has the dog provided a great deal of comfort for Mr. Price during the pandemic, the father of three grown children and three grandchildren has made him famous with the puppy’s own Facebook page and website, www.facebook. com/RescueReilly and www. rescuereilly.com. Leana Orsua delivers a powerful story about the quiet comfort of her dog Roxy after the tragic loss of her dear friend, Denise Cohen, during a mass shooting in 2017 in Las Vegas at the Route 91 Harvest country music festival. ‘Denise was one of 58 people killed. We had been friends since 2008. We met at the Canary Hotel during one of the happy hours, and we just clicked,” said Ms. Orsua by phone. “My dog Roxy, a mix of Chihuahua and dachshund, was 6 years old at the time. She seemed to have a sixth sense about the tragedy. It was so powerful, so moving the way she connected with me. She would stare into my eyes, giving me a sense of comfort and making me feel at peace. She helped me work through the sadness I felt. She had the innate ability to be right there in the moment.” In the book, Ms. Orsua writes, “Her support timing became impeccable. She learned the cues, always squeezing up to me at just the right moment when she sensed my anxiety and grief. Her eyes had become so good at giving me a signal of compassion. And sometimes she would come up and lick my tears.” A former television news reporter, Ms. Orsua, who is in charge of membership management at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, has another dog named Gigi. Both were adopted from DAWG (Dog Adoption & Welfare

Group) in Goleta. (The nonprofit merged with another organization this year, and it is now Santa Ynez Valley Humane Society/DAWG.) “Both humans and dogs are social creatures, so the bond between Roxy, Gigi and I evolved into a naturally symbiotic relationship,” she writes. “Dogs are generally friendly, trusting and always eager to please. Although I don’t have kids, I discovered a deeply maternal bond with my dogs … “I’m especially grateful for the unwavering love and emotional support of my Roxy who penetrated through my pain and helped to heal the emotional scars.” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

Local hotel restaurants continuing take-out service The Hotel Californian’s Goat Tree is doing both curbside pickup and delivery.

DAVE MASON / NEWS-PRESS

By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

With no alternatives offered, a number of restaurants in local hotels are keeping up with togo services. The Rosewood Miramar Beach is offering togo lunch options through its food truck such as a Cali Cobb Salad, crispy fish tacos, Hank’s Double Diamond Burger and Dungeness crab fritters. Through Osteria Caruso’s, a to-go service serving dishes from the hotel’s signature restaurant Caruso’s, the Rosewood Miramar Beach is also offering dinner to go. The meals served through Osteria Caruso’s are hotel executive chef Massimo Falsini’s favorite recipes from growing up in Italy and utilize local California ingredients. Mr. Falsini told the News-Press he drew on inspiration from his own grandmother’s cookbook while coming up with Osteria Caruso’s menu and was cognizant of what is now in season. “I created this menu keeping in mind the seasonal ingredients and what would be available from our local suppliers and purveyors, while including a mix of the dishes that our guests have come to love since our opening.” Items included on the menu include a wide selection of Mr. Falsini’s pinsa romana, which the chef described as a “more digestible” version of the standard pizza, with a lighter, airier crust made with more water and less salt. By serving meals through Osteria Caruso’s, the executive chef wants to offer local residents “an opportunity to bring the magic of Miramar home.” “We are pleased to be able to offer our distinctive culinary experiences in a to-go format that allows our community to enjoy themselves,” he said. According to a news release, lunch from the Rosewood Miramar Beach’s food truck can be

ordered between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. by walking up to the food truck, and dinner from Osteria Caruso’s can be ordered between 4 and 8 p.m. by calling 805881-2424. Both are open daily. The Ritz-Carlton Bacara Santa Barbara is keeping its ‘O’ Bar, Pool Bar, and First Drop café open amid the pandemic for take-out services and in-room dining. According to hotel general manager Steve Janicek, room service orders are left outside a guest’s door rather than brought into their room as a precaution against COVID-19. ‘O’ Bar is open for to-go dinners between the hours of 5 and 9 p.m., Pool Bar is open for lunch takeout between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., and First Drop Café is open for to-go breakfasts between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. All are open seven days a week. However, the Bacara’s restaurants Angel Oak and The Bistro are closed and not doing to-go orders. Mr. Janicek explained that this is because these restaurants are located at hard-to-reach locations in the hotel’s layout compared to the more accessible Pool Bar, ‘O’ Bar, and First Drop. “The Bistro’s way at the bottom of the resort down by the water and ‘O’ Bar is right in front of valet parking,” he explained. While the Hotel Californian’s restaurant Blackbird isn’t offering to-go services, its casual dining establishment Goat Tree is doing both curbside pickup and delivery. According to the Hotel Californian’s website, the café is serving “Blackbird-inspired specials” while the more upscale eatery is closed. To-go orders from Goat Tree can be made by calling 805-882-0137 or emailing goattogo@ hotelcalifornian.com every day between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. None of the restaurants at the Four Seasons Biltmore are doing take-out orders because the entire property is currently closed for renovation.

This painting could well be worth much more than its $40 purchase price. The back of it was signed “Kyffin Williams,” an acclaimed name in Welsh art (1918-2006.)

n a small antique shop in Franklin Township, Sussex County, N.J. years ago, L.S. was shopping for his brother’s new home, when he found this painting. Perfect for his brother’s new lake house, he thought, but on presentation of it, his brother hated it. So L.S. stuck this painting in his attic until a few months ago when he purchased a cabin in Lake Arrowhead. L.S. wrote that he was reminded of the work of L.S. Lowry (1887-1976) a British naïve artist who painted those smoky and dire towns of northwest England, peopling them with his trademark “matchstick men.” L.S.’s painting cost $40, and was signed with “KW” on the bottom left corner. On the back someone has written that it was the work of Kyffin Williams (1918-2006). Let’s hope it is. Williams is regarded as the defining presence in 20th century Welsh art, and he himself might have been saddened that the attribution on the back says British and not WELSH. Although he was British, for 30 years a painting master in high end London schools, he retired at Pwllfanogl, Llanfairpwll, on the Isle of Anglesey, near the Menai Straits overlooking Snowdonia, close to his birthplace. Becoming a professional artist fairly late in life, while facing a British Army Medic he suffered from an epileptic fit and was told that he should continue painting instead. And he threw himself into the craft. Later, having won the Winston Churchill Fellowship, he traveled to Patagonia to paint the Welsh settlement there of Y Wladfa. He was awarded the Order of the British Empire and then knighted

in 1999. A major selection of his works are held at the National Library of Wales. He wrote: (no other country) “touches the mood … of melancholy that is in most Welshmen, a melancholy derived from the dark hills, the heavy clouds, and the enveloping sea mist.” It was said that he knew the Welsh landscape so well that when he painted a mountain, he knew what was on the other side. Williams said that painting was not just about making images, but that love and mood was a big part of his creative process; a painter must love his subject matter, because to communicate that subject to a viewer, one must love it. He claimed that obsession was a greater asset than talent, and painted he did, in all weathers, with a palette knife. So far, L.S.’s painting has some of those hallmarks: A Welsh scene, a certain color of the grey cold climate, the hard edge of stone and a palette knife technique. And indeed, Williams signed with just K.W. How to authenticate this painting? Since Williams was a beloved and established career artist, he likely sold through galleries, and various museums either collected or were given his works. Galleries are the way to go; museums usually can’t offer opinions. I researched the galleries that once sold him: I tried Oriel Ynysmon, in Williams’ town of Llangefni, and emailed the director a photo of your painting. A retrospective show to honor the centenary of his birth (1918) in 2018, was held at the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth. The director was Lona Mason, so find her and

email a photo; another lead: David Wynn Meredith chairs the Sir Kyffin Williams Trust. These are the experts that can get you close to answering questions of authenticity. When you have had confirmation, next, research the values of authentic work at auction by using a compilation service like ArtPrice or ArtNet to find out what your $40 painting could be worth. This will indicate the BEST auction houses for the work, should you wish to sell. A few weeks ago, Bonham’s London estimated the value of a Williams seascape between $13,000 and $20,000. Even during the pandemic, Williams’ sales are great: Sotheby’s sold a street scene for $50,000. Values have ranged from $20,000 to $40,000 a painting. In fact, a trend during the pandemic is to hold specific themed auctions. In Williams’ case, I see his work selling well at Modern British Art sales. During this crisis, we see that a traditional regional art sells WELL in general. Williams died a wealthy man, having made a fortune with his palette knife, and he gave liberally to art charitable causes in Wales, and for this reason people have been interested in keeping the values of his work strong. That means research should be easy, L.S. I am rooting for you that this $40 painting turns into a $40,000 painting.

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.

The objectives for the upcoming quarters include: completing the retail storefront license selection process; implementing the KPMG recommendations relating to their assessment of the county’s cannabis permitting and business licensing processes; phasing out the 12 cultivation operations that are located within EDRNs per the recently adopted LUDC ordinance amendment; continuing the Business Licensing process improvement project to identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and redundancies in an effort to streamline

Continued from Page A1 process special event permits; however, due to the increasing number and complexities of the many special events hosted on an annual basis, as well as the demand to use public spaces, including parks, new permit guidance is needed to ensure clarity and consistency with the permitting process,� the staff report reads. The proposed amendments would: clarify special event permit requirements; designate a city special events coordinator; enhance customer service for event organizers; and streamline the permit review and approval process to achieve efficiencies. The Council members will also receive an update on the supply planning analyses and recommendations for the Enhanced Urban Water Management Plan and staff will provide policy direction on the draft water supply recommendations. The report and presentation provide a broad summary of the EUWMP work effort including results and recommendations for Santa Barbara’s future water supply. “One notable recommendation supported by results of both the existing portfolio analysis and the future portfolio analysis is to change desalination operations from an emergency/drought supply to a regular element of the city’s water supply portfolio, whereby desalination would serve as a drought preparedness, drought response, and drought recovery supply,� the staff report reads. “The desal plant would not necessarily operate each year. “Rather, the desal plant would be put into standby mode in the event that the proposed minimum water reserve thresholds are met, allowing the city to remain strongly positioned to meet demands, even in a dry year.� Other recommendations include minimizing the need for future desal expansion through optimization of existing supplies and demand reductions through conservation efforts. The meeting will begin at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 15, and can be streamed online at www. SantaBarbaraCA.gov/CAP or watched on City TV Channel 18. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

On Tuesday, the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors will receive an update on the status of cannabis tax collection, land use permitting, business licensing, state licensing and enforcement. Staff will also recommend the board direct the County Executive Office in concert with the TreasurerTax Collector’s Office to work with KPMG to review the cannabis tax revenue cycle and evaluate appropriate staffing. Staff found the following emerging issues: continuing to work to better align the land use permitting process and the business license process; working on a methodology to standardize plan approval and acceptance; reviewing operator’s compliance with county

the licensing process; and commencing the tax audit process utilizing consultant HdL. The board will also receive a COVID-19 update and the counties’ response and operations. In other business, the board will consider recommendations regarding the execution of a grant agreement with the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara for acquisition of the property located at 536 West Pedregosa St. in Santa Barbara. Board members will be asked to approve and authorize the chair to execute the grant agreement in the amount of $1.1 million between the Housing Authority and Santa Barbara to acquire the property for homeless family housing.

The Carpinteria City Council will be recommended today to authorize sending a letter supporting the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors’ request to the state for Santa Barbara, Ventura and San Luis Obispo counties to exit the regional stay-at-home order as a Central Coast region. “There exists a need for immediate action to mitigate unnecessary economic hardship to the Carpinteria community as a result of the state’s order,� the staff report read. The council will also be recommended to ratify the suspension of vehicle parking enforcement for the duration of the regional stay at home order, unless sooner modified or terminated by action of the Director of Emergency Services or the city council. Staff deemed it necessary to suspend parking enforcement related to the following: residential street sweeping; 72hour limit on parking on public property; parking restrictions for city-owned lots; posted time limits zones in residential and commercial areas; removal of abandoned vehicles that do not pose a

Goleta City Council to swear in members, receive update on Hollister Avenue plans By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Goleta Mayor Paula Perotte and Council members Stuart Kasdin and Kyle Richards will take their Oaths of Office for their new four-year terms at Tuesday’s City Council meeting. The council will confirm the Nov. 3 General Election returns validating the council election results. City council seats are four-year terms, and because Goleta voters passed Measure O2020 by a 51.44% majority vote, the mayor’s term is now four years as well. In addition, the council will select a Mayor Pro Tempore. After the ceremony, the Goleta City Council will receive an update on the Hollister Avenue Complete Streets Corridor Plan.

The goal of the project is to enhance and prioritize safety, access and mobility for all users and modes of transportation along Hollister Avenue in Old Town Goleta. Proposed improvements include fixing the corridor between Fairview Avenue and State Route 217. The council will also be recommended to create a new CIP project called the Hollister Avenue Old Town Interim Striping Project. In other business, the council will receive an update on the outcome of the procurement process for a solar photovoltaic microgrid project at City Hall. Council members will be recommended to authorize procurement of a solar PV-only option that integrates EV charging with carport installation financed

by a Power Purchase Agreement with a 20-year term. “Encouraging renewable energy generation and use through installation at city-owned facilities is identified in the city’s budget, Strategic Plan, and Resolution 17-52, which identifies council’s adopted 100% Renewable Energy Goal for the city by 2030,” the staff report reads. “This resolution also includes an interim goal for at least 50% of electricity use by municipal facilities to come from renewable sources by 2025.” The installation has the potential to offset close to 100% of the building electricity usage, increasing budget certainty at City Hall while reducing Goleta’s carbon footprint. Also on the agenda is a public hearing to consider the initiation of a General Plan Amendment for

625 Dara Road from Single Family to Medium-Density Residential. This change would allow the property owner to propose a development that is currently not allowed by the Single-Family designation. The Medium-Density Residential land use category allows multi-family housing and accessory uses associated with residences. The applicant’s project is not under review or consideration currently, but the hearing will determine whether to allow the initiation of a GPA to a higher residential density on the site. The regular meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 15 and can be watched on Goleta Channel 19 or live streamed at https:// tinyurl.com/GoletaMeetings. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

SM City Council to review police department audit By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

On Tuesday, the Santa Maria City Council will receive a presentation by the OIR Group on the results of the 2020 Police Department audit. In April of 2020, the city commissioned the OIR Group to conduct an independent review and audit of the police department’s leadership, management and supervision practices, emphasizing public transparency, use of force, the handling of public complaints and internal administrative investigations. “An independent review of police

department practices by a reputable entity provides the City Council and community members with an additional level of assurance that their police department operates ethically and in conformance with best practices,” the staff report read. “Addressing the recommendations previously set forth by the OlFl Group has allowed the police department to implement industry-wide best management practices in an ongoing effort to better serve the members of our community.” In addition, the council will be recommended to ratify a nomination from the mayor regarding the appointment of the Mayor Pro Tem for calendar year 2021. In 2019, Mayor Alice Patino nominated

Council member Mike Cordero to serve as Mayor Pro Tem for 2020 and the City Council ratified it. Now, it’s time for the mayor to consider the next Mayor Pro Tem and have the City Council ratify that member. The regular meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 15 and can be observed on Comcast Channel 23, by visiting the live stream page on the city’s meeting portal at /Portal/ CitizenEngagement.aspx or by live streaming the meeting on the city’s YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/ playlist?list=PLN7bMlSUIgZeGyM57K Ct4RkzjEFZuGi78..

Continued from Page A1 dollars in product, pack it into rubber bins and drive hours away from home. Many of the vendors stay in a hotel. “This business is a lot of traveling. It’s definitely taxing and hard, especially if you have a family,” she said. Pam Spears, who works with her mom and aunt at Sister Stones, is a hairdresser during the week and sells gems on the weekends. Her mom and aunt have weekday jobs too. She feels like a therapist as she assists customers choosing stones. She showed a woman stones to help her marriage, suggesting lemon citrine crystals for menopause. She wasn’t pushy. She just answered questions as the woman expressed her concerns, like the new power lines outside her bedroom. Ms. Spears suggested a few crystals, quickly recalling the stones’ long names and where she set them up on display. They weren’t expensive picks, surprisingly. It’d be easy to upsell someone with no background knowledge. “I hope not to over influence somebody to buy outside their budget, especially during this time,” Ms. Spears said. Saturday, she sold a lot of crystals to a woman who, after purchasing, explained she was homeless. Ms. Spears felt bad for the woman and said a prayer for her, feeling uneasy at the amount of product she sold to her. She hopes the gems help her customers like they’ve helped her. She’s collected stones since she was young, so she knows the varieties well and how people utilize them. Her collection even helped her quit smoking

Westmont women’s swim team wins virtual event The Westmont women’s swimming team conducted its second virtual meet of the season on Saturday. The format has each team competing in its own pool, complete with officials. The times are then compiled together to determine finish results and team scores. Saturday’s meet was a dual meet against NAIA opponent Simpson, who entered competitors in just two events. The Warriors won by a score of 168-13. “They all did such a great job,” Westmont

five years ago. She said many of her customers purchase crystals for metaphysical reasons, and she sees a lot of people looking for personal growth this year. But sometimes, it’s educational. She has a variety of fossils for sale, and sometimes professors purchase from her. Some weekends, Gem Faire has a day dedicated to kids. Classes take a field trip to see the fossils and get a geology lesson. Michele likes seeing the variety of stones each weekend. There are pieces from all over the world, and most vendors seem to have an individual style. “You get a lot of culture from everybody,” she said. The salespeople looked like they came from a variety of backgrounds and ethnicities. Some wore Yeezys and bold-faced watches, and others looked modest — not like the kind of person who has thousands invested in gems. The customers vary too, but the $7 entry fee weeds out a lot of unmotivated onlookers. “That’s the kind of people we see is the people that enjoy this stuff,” Michele said. “I think a lot of people buy crystals for spiritual reasons, like how you feel when you’re around them.” She likes the shows in Santa Barbara, but the event attracts buyers from all over the west coast. Steve Small, who buys silver and gold at Gem Faire, says Santa Barbara is one of his favorite stops. He said he gets nicer estate pieces. “This weekend was so good, I ran out of money buying,” he said. He had been waiting for the fair to resume and apart from a couple shows in other states, the vendors weren’t touring. Gem Faire is scheduled to return to Santa Barbara the weekend of Feb. 19. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

head coach Jill Jones Lin said in a statement. “It has been such a hard year. We stayed (on campus) through Thanksgiving and trained. We really haven’t been talking about this meet, but it has been the capstone to this fall. “They did a great job in the relays. We have a lot of swimmers injured right now who aren’t able to swim. So, putting together whomever we could, the women stepped up and raced very well.” In the final event of the day, Bridget Hoth, Rian Lewandowski, Morgan Shattuck and Gaby Rego posted a time of 1:48.43 in the 200-yard freestyle relay. “I felt like we killed it,” Rego said. “It is super exciting to be on that relay and to be able

to swim with those women. They are all so fast and they all inspire me. Being able to go last after seeing them all kill it motivated me to try my best.” The meet started with Lewandowski, Hoth, Ceili Smaw and Shattuck swimming the 200 yard medley relay in a time of 2:02.94. Hoth, a freshman from Kansas City, Missouri, recorded a NAIA National Championship provisional qualification time of 25.37 to win the 50-yard freestyle. “We knew she could do it,” said Lin. “She has been swimming it in practice. She just needed to get out and do it.” — Gerry Fall
