Carpinteria took a step towards normalcy on Sunday morning by turning out to support their favorite breakfast and brunch spots. The crowds at Carpinteria State Beach were smaller than usual for Memorial Day weekend, and beachgoers appeared to maintain social distance between groups. However, visitors came from everywhere from Los Angeles to Utah. The Worker Bee Cafe is located at 973 Linden Ave., just a short walk from the water. Owner Rick Mancilla’s business was open for its Sunday dine-in breakfast at 7:30 a.m. for the first time since Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a mandatory stay home order on March 19. State officials allowed Santa Barbara County restaurants to reopen dine-in service on Thursday. Leland Keel of Los Angeles was the first diner in the restaurant, but several more trickled in as he sat at his table with a coffee and his journal. “I write a lot in my journal and so the experience of eating in one’s car and writing in a journal in one’s car versus being able to sit at a table is sort of a return to civilization. It’s cautiously optimistic,” Mr. Keel said. He works at an outpatient community

Carpinteria High School seniors won’t get the graduation ceremony they expected when the school year started. Graduates and their families will drive, not walk, across the high school finish line. Principal Gerardo Cornejo said graduation will be held at 6 p.m. June 11 in the high school parking lot, 4810 Foothill Road. “Normally, students get to walk across the stage when they graduate,” Mr. Cornejo said. “That’s of course not possible due to the social distancing guidelines. “We are going to call the name of the graduate, but instead of the graduate walking across the stage, it will be their family in their family car. We designated

a part of the parking lot to look as if it was a stage. They will be marching across the parking lot stage.” Graduates and their families will remain in their car during the entire ceremony. When each graduate’s name is called, they will drive along a specified route in the parking lot as their friends and classmates cheer them on. The school will upload the ceremony to YouTube at 8 p.m. June 11. Mr. Cornejo said the virtual graduation is important because it allows the community to celebrate with the graduates. “It’s also a community recognition,” he said. “The community has invested resources, energy, donations and support ever since all of our students have been Please see graduation on A2

but get a takeout order, but when they offered me a table, it was like Christmas,” Mr. Keel said. Mr. Mancilla said he had been able to rehire two employees he laid off during the state’s mandatory dining room closure. “It’s been busy and good. We were never shut down; we were always doing takeout. Relative to the economy and everything, we’ve done well. We’re hanging in there. We’ve got the doors open, and we haven’t had to shutter them so I’m happy about that. Yes, it could be better, but I’m not complaining,” Mr. Mancilla said. He added that he is grateful to welcome his regular customers and new visitors back into the dining room. “They’re ecstatic, they are so happy. People like to come in here and yap with me. I’m a yapper. They’re just happy to be here,” Mr. Mancilla said. He added that he is working to bring more staff back into the business, but income is lower than usual for this time of year. “When we were doing takeout,

we had a skeleton crew. I have to be careful with my budgeting, the funds aren’t what they used to be,” Mr. Mancilla said. Right now, his business is 50% dine-in and 50% takeout. “It’s wonderful … Everyone wanted to get out, but we have to be careful with how we open up,” Mr. Mancilla said. Nearby at Jack’s Bistro & Famous Bagels, 5050 Carpinteria Ave., #2047, families enjoyed their brunch on patio tables outside the restaurant. Ruby and William Young took their children out for a relaxing brunch before they set out for a bike ride, then a hike later Sunday afternoon. “We’ve been coming here as long as it’s been open, pretty much. It’s lovely, and the kids need it,” Mrs. Young said. Mr. Young added that it felt liberating to have the freedom to go outside and enjoy a meal with his family. “To be able to do what we’re supposed to do. To have freedom Please see carp on A2

Paul Hood was praised for his work as executive director of the Santa Barbara Local Agency Formation Commission.

Paul Hood remembered Accolades accrue for LAFCO leader By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

“A decent good person.” “A guy with incredible credentials.” “A walking encyclopedia when it came to LAFCO.” “A source of great inspiration for LAFCO staff and commissioners statewide.” These are only a few of the accolades the family of Paul Hood received when friends and colleagues learned of his untimely death at the age of 71 on May 11, several weeks after the nonsmoker had been diagnosed with lung cancer. For seven years, from 2013

until he died, he was executive director of the Santa Barbara Local Agency Formation Commission. Roger Aceves, Goleta City Council member, recalled being on the commission when Mr. Hood was persuaded to end his retirement to take the position. “The guy came with such incredible credentials . . . He created some big shoes to fill.” Added Etta Waterfield, Santa Maria City Council member, “He was a walking encyclopedia when he came to LAFCO.” Fifth District Supervisor Steve Lavagino, who serves on LAFCO, said, “This job can sometimes Please see HOOD on A2

Memorial Day broadcast planned

The Pierre Claeyssens Veterans Foundation is giving residents in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties a chance to celebrate Memorial Day in the comfort of their homes with a televised broadcast. According to a news release, the 2020 Memorial Day program will air at 4 p.m. today on KEYT-TV, Channel 3. After the broadcast on the Santa Barbara station, the program can be watched on the foundation’s website, PCVF.org. “All of us at Pierre Claeyssens CHRISTIAN WHITTLE wish you and Veterans Foundation WS-PRESS STAFF WRITER your loved ones health and safety as we remember those who served,� the Developed recreation in California will renonprofit wrote on itssites website. in closed through May 15 after the USDA ForService issued an order— extending the closures Josh Grega ursday.

That’s ok. There’s not an order against hiking trails,� said Andew Madsen, U.S. Forest Service spokesman. “We just want to make sure if people go out they’re safely spaced between one another. If you get to a trailhead and there’s just too many cars there, you should find a different area to go to as opposed to trying to get in.� As state and local responses to the coronavirus pandemic continue to evolve, the Forest Service felt that the situation warranted a two week extension of the closures, said Mr. Madsen. “At the end of that they’ll evaluate and see where we’re at and whether or not we’re going to continue as we need it,� said Mr. Madsen. “This order can be rescinded at any time. If local health officials say it looks like the sky has cleared up we can rescind the order tomorrow. For right now, we don’t want to extend it out too far. “We just want to make sure in the next couple of weeks as we monitor what’s going on that we are taking the appropriate steps along with our state and local partners.�

Dan Collier, owner of the Pizza Man Dan’s Pizza chain, said his Carpinteria restaurant has been busier than his other locations in Ventura, Oxnard and Moorpark. “We were able to get our restaurants back open on Friday with the social distancing and other criteria in place. Carpinteria was better than any other restaurant. The advantage there is we have the types of doors where you can open up the whole restaurant and that may have made people feel more confident,� Mr. Collier said. He added that a $9.99 takeout special has helped keep business steady enough to prevent layoffs. “We committed to selling a large one item pizza for $9.99 for carry out only. I’ve been in the business for 30 years. I don’t think I’ve seen that price in 20 years. We were able to keep our employees working with no layoffs, and in fact, we’ve been hiring during this time.�

‘The Art of Face Masks’

COVID-19 inspires designs in Elverhoj Museum virtual exhibit By MARILYN MCMAHON

I

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

n response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Elverhoj Museum of History and Art in Solvang is offering “The Art of Face Masks,” a virtual exhibition exploring the face mask as an art form. The online show can be viewed at www. artoffacemasks.com. Featured artists are Georganne Alex, Carole Coduti, Jess Conti, Colleen M. Kelly, Isabella Kelly-Ramirez, RT Livingston, Margaret Matson, Syd McCutcheon, Susan Owens, Tara Patrick, Linda Pearl, Gwen Samuels, Laura Wilkinson and Sara Woodburn. Each photo includes comments from the designer about the inspiration for their work. “These artists tackle the role of the face mask as a form of individual expression as well as self-preservation. A variety of styles, a range of techniques and conceptual thinking are employed in these one-of-a-kind works,” said Esther Jacobsen Bates, executive director of the museum. ”The virtual exhibit places itself at the intersection of art and history as the face mask becomes the world’s most important fashion accessory, and museums start to collect symbolic items from the COVID-19 contagion.” In conjunction with the exhibit, the museum is launching an Artist Q&A series on Instagram Live. The first in the series will air at 4 p.m. June 3 and feature Ms. Alex, a Santa Barbara artist, who noted that “artists and designers can be relied upon to demonstrate that there is always a way to creatively respond to whatever challenges the world presents.” Added Jody Williams, museum assistant director and exhibition curator, “In a world where we now recognize people by their face masks, I hope this exhibit brings a smile to our hidden lips and extra thought to the message we convey through our masks.” Email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

Carole Coduti “Shipwrecked” A mermaid out for a swim hears people who walk on two feet are very sick. They are wearing cloth over their faces, but some are still dying. She happens upon an old shipwreck and gathers up a fireplace curtain, industrial light cage, colander, pulley, chicken incubator light, horse harness hardware and a rhinestone brooch. She makes herself a face mask to scare away the sickness!

RT Livingston “Coronatime” When meeting in public, wearing our masks, we’ve become like silent movie stars whose eyes take center stage. Now, we use masks for survival. Before, they provided a buffer to hide behind; now, they are a matter of life and death.

Georganne Alex “Red Alert” n. A condition of heightened alertness or preparedness, especially to guard against imminent danger. Interj. A warning that indicates an emergency situation.

Jess Conti “Birdmask” During the plague in the 1300s, doctors wore masks with long beaks that they filled with herbs. It was believed the purifying effect of the herbs would protect them from contracting the virus. This mask combines multiple pieces of leather sewn together, then soaked in hot water to become rigid. Once dry, the leather is hand colored to achieve an antique look.

The red stitching called sashiko is used to reinforce a worn piece of fabric, making it stronger. It also brings strength to the wearer of the mask. More masks on A4

Long-running family joke is no laughing matter for sister

Laura Wilkinson “Flight Interrupted” A dove was taking a dust bath outside my window when it suddenly spooked. It flew up and crashed into the glass. A minute later it flew off, stunned but fine. I photographed its dusty imprint on the glass. It struck me as a metaphor for where we might be headed. We should be able to see the glints, reflections and evidence of what lies ahead. If we don’t become more present and realize that we are all interconnected, our flight might be abruptly interrupted.

Horoscope.com Monday, May 25, 2020 Aries — Venus retrograde is really making you rethink some of your relationships, Aries. It might actually be the best time to let go of things. Mercury is moving into your home sector on Thursday, making you more inclined to resolve issues at home with family. Taurus — Money is a huge priority (and top of mind) this week as Mercury continues through your house of income. Marketing is a possibility this week as Mercury merges with the North Node, possibly sparking a brilliant idea. Be open to everything, Taurus. Gemini — It’s been quite the couple weeks for you! With Venus retrograde moving through your first house, your image might need some refreshing! Mercury’s move into Cancer in your money zone on Thursday makes it a great time to tidy up your bank account and credit backup. Cancer — The sun continues to move through a healing part of your chart, so if you’re feeling a bit more reclusive this week, it’s totally normal! Venus is retrograding in the same zone‌ making you question all your goals and life choices, but also helping you oust what’s no longer needed. Leo — The sun’s moving through your social zone still, in Gemini—which is peaking your curiosity in all the things that your friends are doing. Venus retrograde is still bringing the romance vibes back into play for you‌ It could be making you question your current relationship. You may have doubts about whether the person you’re with is right for you. Take it slow, Leo. Virgo — The planets are having a party in your most public house. Get ready for some attention, Virgo! However, with Venus retrograde also moving through this zone, the deals, plans, and expectations could all fall through at the drop of a hat. Just keep your wits about you and don’t believe everything you hear.

Libra — Travel is on your mind, Libra. Unfortunately, that venture is in short supply right now. However, there are other ways to get creative and explore the world around you. Mercury moving into a more prominent zone in your chart helps you speak your mind this week. Scorpio — The sun continues to move through a business area for you. But all the confusion it brings is about to garner some answers for you, Scorpio. Venus retrograde is also traveling this zone, asking you to reconsider how you spend and what you spend on. Sagittarius — Is it time to network or reconnect with friends, Sagittarius? The sun and Venus retrograde moves through your relationships sector—asking you to both reconnect with others and reconsider which relationships are no longer working in your favor. Connect over Zoom and let the others fall away. Capricorn — Your lifestyle zone is asking you to make a few changes to how you approach your health. Is it time to get a personal trainer, Capricorn? Even if it’s over Zoom or Instagram, a little pep in your fitness levels couldn’t hurt. Lastly, a crucial conversation— one of healing—could take place on Friday.

Pisces — This week, Venus retrograde is asking you to reconsider how you interact with family, Pisces. It might be the time to pick up the phone and give the fam a call. You never know what could come from honest conversation. Mercury moves into your leisure zone on Thursday. It’s time to learn a new skill!

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Aquarius — The sun’s move through an artistic part of your chart asks you to dive into the hobbies you’ve let fall to the wayside. Venus retrograde in Gemini isn’t about starting up romances; it’s about having fun. So get your flirt on over those dating apps and see what happens, Aquarius.

INSTRUCTIONS Fill in the grid so every row, every column and every 3-by-3 grid contains the digits 1 through 9. that means that no number is repeated in any row, column or box.

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.

TVSB adapts Producers find various ways of generating content amid pandemic By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

While TV Santa Barbara’s studio remains closed due to COVID-19 restrictions, the local station’s producers have spent the past two months finding temporary ways of adapting to conditions created by the health crisis. For some producers, the pandemic has forced the contents of their shows to alter just slightly, while others have had to more drastically change programs they had planned for the spring. TVSB director of media programming Hiba Hamdan, the person responsible for putting programming on the station’s channels 17 and 71, said the number of new episodes made for TVSB shows has decreased since the COVID-19 outbreak started, with a majority of airtime dedicated to reruns of older programs. However, production has picked up since the initial days of shutdowns, during which producers who spoke to the NewsPress recalled a full freeze in production. During that period of inactivity, they started looking for ways to adapt their shows to what would for a while be the new normal. For writer, director, and producer Ben Ferguson, TVSB’s studio closure is a dramatic change. A creator of comedic narrative shows such as “Pine Valley Medical” and “Precinct,” Mr. Ferguson’s productions require marshalling the efforts of many people to form a cast and crew, not at all conducive to observing required social distancing. On top of this, much of the shooting he did for his shows was at the TVSB studio, so its closure created a “very bad situation” in which he couldn’t to his planned projects.

As he searched for an alternative method of creating content, Mr. Ferguson decided to keep making humorous videos in his living room. This gave birth to his new series “COVID-19 Comedy,” during which he talks about topics like which snacks people should consider while lying about at home during lockdown. Though not comparable in production value to the shows he produced at the TVSB studio, Mr. Ferguson said doing his less produced videos has been helpful to his mental health and keeps him in the rhythm of producing content. Since he quit his former job as a finance manager in January to make content full time, it is crucial for him to keep up his production skills as he carves out a new career for himself. “Being able to do small videos and putting them on TV has really continued this passion of mine,” he said. However, he as of late has found a way to add short narrative content to “COVID-19 Comedy” by using exterior locations that are available to him. A daily paddleboarder, the other day when he was on the water, he saw a stretch of beach that he thought could be a good video location. From that initial inspiration came the comedy short “Shipwrecked.” In the sketch, Mr. Ferguson plays a shipwrecked man who is waiting on the beach desperate for food, and especially water. A girl from a GrubHub-esque delivery service comes by with a sandwich and water but just as she’s about to hand him a water bottle, pulls it a way and tells him that she can’t serve him because he’s not wearing a mask. Mr. Ferguson’s character pleads, and the delivery girl calls Gov. Gavin Newsom asking if she can make an exception for the shipwrecked

man and serve him. The governor tells her no. Mr. Ferguson’s idea for “Shipwrecked” is that his character is like a small business, the delivery girl is like the state of California, and Gov. Newsom is something akin to God. The writer and producer said that while the COVID-19 crisis is a serious situation, he also believes taking the time to have a laugh at it is important for getting through this serious time. “I think comedy is so important right now and there’s nothing like that out there, it’s mostly COVID-19 panic,” he said. The TVSB studio’s closure has impacted not only the producers of shows with large casts of players, but one-person shows as well. Before COVID-19, each month Qigong and Tai Chi instructor Jessica Kolbe made one episode of her eponymous Qigong instruction show “Qigong with Jessica Kolbe” in the studio, with her husband Ray Kolbe handing the technical aspects like lighting and sound. Since the studio closed, the couple has been recording the show via Zoom in their home garden. Since the studio provided a more sophisticated technical setup with three cameras that capture his wife’s Qigong lesson from different angles, Mr. Kolbe said filming on Zoom doesn’t produce a show of nearly the same quality. That said, because his wife’s show is instructional, technical polish is not the end-allbe-all. “The quality is not the same, and yet, because it’s a class, I don’t really think that’s a big negative,” Mr. Kolbe said. Despite an unavoidable drop in quality, the Kolbes have managed to increase the quantity of episodes from one to three a month. The Qigong instructor told the News-Press that she’s very

pleased adapting to the current situation has enabled her and her husband to make more lessons on the ancient Chinese lessons she teaches. “We’re supplying more content to TVSB and we’re thrilled,” she said. For some TVSB creators like “Living Local” producer and host Gail Kvistad, being deprived of the station’s studio isn’t a big deal at all. Created by Ms. Kvistad along with Paul Mathieu at Cox in 2010 and moved to TVSB in 2019, “Living Local” features its host interviewing the owners of notable local businesses in Santa Barbara. Because Ms. Kvistad gathered the business owners’ stories by shooting her interviews with them on location at the businesses, her show never depended on the TVSB studio. With the exception of some shots taken by her stepson Nick Kvistad and theme music provided by his friend Jack Keough, “Living Local” is entirely produced by Ms. Kvistad, so being unable to arrange a sizable crew was never a problem in making episodes. Rather, the difficulties that arose from COVID-19 were mainly because of businesses shutting down. Prior to COVID-19, “Living Local” primarily focused on Santa Barbara businesses that people could go to in person for some sort of unique experience. Because many of them ceased operations when the stay-at-home order was issued, Ms. Kvistad’s show experienced a slowdown while everyone was hunkered down. However, since then “Living Local” has shifted its attention to local businesses that are focused on health and wellness and home and garden. Businesses she has featured since the health crisis started include the likes of locally based hand sanitizer company Sprixx. As reopening is gradually getting underway, Ms. Kvistad remarked that more businesses like those she interviewed before COVID-19 have started expressing interest in being featured on her show. “Businesses are interested in being represented again and telling their stories. People want to get the word out that their business is open,” she said. Producers may be managing, but Ms. Hamdan is greatly looking forward to the day that TVSB can reopen its studio. Providing studio space to producers is TVSB’s biggest source of revenue, but beyond that she misses in-person interaction getting captured on camera. While conducting interviews with people remotely may suffice for as long as the pandemic lasts, two people talking together in the same physical space for audiences to see simply “brings more to the table.” email: jgrega@newspress.com
