Marlene Taylor, owner of Desert Rose Hat Co., hears a lot of sarcastic comments about her decision to open a business during the pandemic. “What a great time to open,” people laugh. But to her, it hasn’t been that difficult — despite opening her doors in La Arcada Plaza just as the state locked down in

December. She enjoyed that time, she told the News-Press, because almost all of her customers were local. She noticed that many seemed to be rediscovering small business after months without shopping in person. Since then, she’s seen business increase and is excited for more sales ahead. Optimism was a theme Sunday, as the News-Press asked business

owners and sales associates how sales are trending. Those who had been open prior to the pandemic said sales are behind prepandemic levels but getting close to historic trends. Eric Kelley, owner of Book Den at 15 E Anapamu Street, has noticed an influx of Californians from Los Angeles and San Francisco since vaccinations became widely available. He attributes his recent revenue,

though, to locals. “We came out of the pandemic okay because Santa Barbarans are really loyal to their local stores,” he told the News-Press. He offered curbside pickup and free shipping to get books to people as they isolated themselves at home. “We spent a fortune on postage during that time, which to me means that it worked,” he said.

A Santa Barbara bottled water and water system company OPHORA Water won gold in the “Best Purified Drinking Water” category at the Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting on Friday. OPHORA won the same title in 2018. “The consistency in winners from year to year with different panels of judges validates the choices,” seasoned water critic and News-Press co-publisher Arthur von Wiesenberger said. “It also speaks to the impressively high caliber of the waters entered.” Berkeley Springs claims to be the “world’s most prestigious” water tasting event and is lauded as the “world’s largest” by news articles and industry professionals. The competition is held in West Virginia and pulls entries from all over the world. Nine judges tasted water from five continents, 14 countries and 19 states. “Our total of countries over the life of the event is 57 including waters from Tasmania, Turkey, Bosnia, Greece and Australia,”

Jill Klein Rone, event producer, said in a news release. This year’s competition was the 31st and had to be rescheduled for COVID-19 precautions. The judging looks like a wine tasting. The judges, who were selected from various media organizations, are trained by Mr. von Wiesenberger and awarded a diploma, certifying their tasting abilities. Judges look at the water’s appearance, favoring clear water or slightly opaque glacial waters. They even smell the water, hoping for a scent-free drink. They look for a clean taste and a light feel with an aftertaste that begs for another sip. Winners boast their medal on their website and even redesign the labels on their bottled water to show off the acclaim. “It was another wonderful year for the longest running and largest water tasting in the world,” said Mr. von Wiesenberger. “Berkeley Springs is truly the Olympics of water.” The 32nd Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting will be held Feb. 26, 2022. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Sales associate Tiana Molony adjusts the displays Sunday afternoon at Wendy Foster. The store has been experiencing increased traffic recently.

Earlier in the pandemic, the store sold a lot of loungewear, but now she’s noticed fancier — and larger — purchases. “I feel like people, now that they’re out and about, they are likely more impulsive to buy things on the spot. Because we haven’t been shopping for so long,” she said. Elizabeth Helton, sales manager at Wendy Foster, feels like going

out on State Street is an occasion for people. They eat and stick around to windowshop. When nearby restaurants are open, she notices more new customers. Mr. Kelley said the same about the dining near him. “Certainly the restaurants out on State Street have added a lot of life to this end of town,” he said.

The owners’ and workers’ opinions also mirrored each other on the topic of June 15, the date the tiered reopening system ends statewide. They didn’t seem to have rigid plans in place, pending guidance from public health departments. But they hope the change increases business. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Sarah Seals, lead stylist at Renaissance Consignment, noticed that many regular customers have started to return after over a year. But some of her usual shoppers still haven’t come back. The store, located at 1118 State Street, relies on locals to bring clothes into the store. Ms. Seals has had plenty of clothing to choose from recently, which she chalks up to people organizing their closets while at home. “It seems like things are normalizing,” she said. “Every weekend seems to be busier than the last.” The store launched a new section called “Kealey’s Corner,” which holds designer kids clothes and dog accessories. Ms. Seals has noticed a lot of hair bows and dog toys selling. Ms. Taylor also adapted to consumer requests recently. Her made-to-order handcrafted hats take eight hours of labor across a couple of weeks, but some shoppers wanted to be able to purchase a hat quickly. She ordered ready-to-wear palm hats that she can quickly customize, and she has sold many palm hats to tourists looking for an easy beach hat. At Wendy Foster, at 1220 State St., customers have been looking to refresh their wardrobe with more formal outfits, according to sales associate Tiana Molony.

SPORTS ROUNDUP

Carpinteria, San Marcos succeed at CIF prelims By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Carpinteria and San Marcos high schools went the distance and more at the CIF track and field prelims Saturday. The day ended with five Carpinteria High School athletes qualifying in eight events for the CIV Division 4 Finals, set for June 12 at the Carpinteria school. During Saturday’s prelims, Carpinteria’s Vincent Rinaldi led the way by lowering his school records in both the 100 and 200 meters. Rinaldi was the fastest qualifier in the 200 with a time of 21.57. His previous best time was 21.87, Coach Van Latham told the NewsPress in an email. Rinaldi was the second fastest qualifier in the 100 meters with a 10.72 clocking, bettering his previous personal best of 10.85. Sophomore Ainslee Alexander also qualified in two events. She set a personal best of 8’ 6” in the pole vault to qualify in the fifth position. Her hop, step and jump of 33’ 2.25” in the triple jump was far enough for eighth place. Esai Vega took the second qualifying spot in the discus with a toss of 137’ 4”. Mateo Handall was the third

fastest qualifier in the 400 meters with a time of 52.22. Irving Garcia mirrored Ainslee’s performance in the triple jump. He was the eight qualifier with a personal-best jump of 39’ 0.25”. Alexandra Zapata was Carpinteria’s other qualifier. She ran a personal best of 49.91 to qualify eighth as well. Like Coach Latham, San Marcos High School coach Marilyn Hantgin had reason to smile after the prelims. “We had a great day at CIF prelims,” Coach Hantgin told the News-Press in an email. Makenzie Fauver qualified in the 100 hurdles with 16.54, a personal best. Lucas Chin qualified in the triple jump, seventh with a jump of 42-5. Clara Tracewell qualified in the shot put, placing fourth with a throw of 33-10. Boys 4x400 relay qualified, placing third at 3:27.60. Those boys are Justin Hess, Jonas Strand, Oscar Ramirez and Jacob Snodgress. “All of my athletes ran their hearts out today. It’s been a long season,” Coach Hantgin said. “I am so happy to have been their coach this year. Looking forward to next year already.” email: dmason@newspress.com

Library technician Ruth Calhoun welcomed back patrons Wednesday at the Goleta Valley Library in Goleta.

Open doors, full shelves T By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

he Goleta Valley Library system, which extends to Solvang and Buellton, opened its doors for express service Wednesday. Since then, Library staff have welcomed small groups in shifts, giving them 15 minutes to browse and check out. Janet Ling, a management assistant at Goleta Valley Library, compared the system to a rollercoaster. Patrons have a limited time inside, but they can get back in line and go again.

Nearly 150 people entered the Goleta library Wednesday. An additional 90 people used outdoor services, such as book pickup. Kids pranced into the library, grabbing as many books as they could carry and stuffing them into tote bags. One couple, Joseph and Ixchel, brought their baby into the library for his first visit. Although he is much too young to flip through the pages of a good book, the couple watched their son’s eyes as he took in the experience. Joseph frequently visited the library prior to the pandemic, but he didn’t use any of the services the library offered outdoors.

People called the library, asking when they’d reopen during the last 14 months, Ms. Ling said. Many argued that it is an essential service. The tutoring and internet connectivity is a big help to some, she said. Some people sit in the parking lot to use the free wifi. Library staff will be assessing their services and listening to member feedback. This year, the summer reading program is virtual. All ages can participate in the online, eightweek program running from June 5-July 31. Participants use Beanstack, a website and app to track reading.

Readers make an account and sign up for the summer reading program at goletavalleylibrary. beanstack.org. Local businesses have donated prizes for the program. Goleta Valley Library staff will ship the prizes in the mail, and participants from Buellton and Solvang will pick up prizes during sidewalk service and express services hours WednesdaySaturday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The libraries’ social media will show off special events, like musicians, a magician, puppeteers and the zoo. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

LUSD awards first Grit Scholarship Award LOMPOC — The Lompoc Unified School District Cabinet has awarded its first Grit Scholarship Award to Lompoc High School graduate Melanie Nunez. The LUSD Cabinet created the scholarship this year to support local graduates continuing their education at post-secondary institutions. The Cabinet plans to award this scholarship annually to students who demonstrate “grit and perseverance in the face of adversity,” according to a

news release. In a statement, Ms. Nunez said she was honored to have been chosen as the first student to receive this award. She plans to attend CSU Northridge and major in Political Science. “It has definitely been a tough year for all of us, and not what I would have imagined my senior year of high school to look like, but despite the obstacles thrown in I could not give up,” Ms. Nunez said in a statement. “A quote I admire from Michelle Obama

and apply to my own life is, ‘Even when it’s not pretty or perfect. “When it is more real than you want it to be. Your story is what you have, what you will always have.’ This is something I keep thinking of as some sort of motivation to keep persevering. I am so thankful for all the opportunities Lompoc has given me and all the LUSD Cabinet has provided — I hope to make you all proud.” email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

F. sends me a very heavy cast iron cooking pot, a saucepan, with a very long hollow handle made of cast iron. It’s black, with a slight curve to the inside of the vessel, and it’s marked upon the bottom with “Vintage No. 5 J and J Siddons, West Bromwich, 4 pints.” Why is the handle so long? This is an amazing piece of engineering, called a Gypsy Pot, used in the middle 19th century for cooking over an open fire, perhaps in some cases placing the pan right into the hearth. The long openly cast handle was meant to keep the heat from your hand, J.F. These were made in the 18th century by the Romany gypsies who cooked outdoors with cast iron, usually hanging large cauldrons on a tripod over an open fire. But they also used these saucepans to heat liquid right on a fire. There’s collectors for these gypsy pots, as they are called, because they function so well as a camp pot. The J and J Siddons Foundry is still around in West Bromwich, Sandwell, West Midlands, in an area that from 1800 or so was called The Black County. This is easy to imagine because the area was the heartland of the iron foundry universe, with hundreds of chimneys pouring black smoke from the coal needed to “found” into the air. These days Andrew Siddons runs the business, which is mainly providing construction parts in iron. He tells with pride of the air quality control of his era. The foundry was founded by his greatgreat-great grandfather in 1818 with that relative’s brother. The business was called Luke and Jesse Siddons and was based at their quaintly named Hilltop Foundry. In 1946, the next set of brothers took over the business, which became J and J Siddons Foundry — for Jesse and Joseph Siddons. What else did the foundry make when this gypsy pot was cast? Almost everything in cast iron, but notably flat and sad irons, for laundry day. And you might ask, “What is the difference?” Both had to be heated on a stove or in an open flame to iron those clothes, but the sad iron, as opposed to the flat iron, had a rounded convex base, which made it easier to roll over a pleat and less likely to burn the fabric. Both types of Siddons irons could have had a handle of cast iron in some cases, which the woman of the house would grasp with a thick mitt. Or in some cases, these irons had a detachable wooden handle that fit over the cast iron with two double hinges. The Siddons Foundry made British Weights and Measures, little disks of iron that would be placed on scales to weigh out your flour or tomatoes by the kilo, but perhaps the most interesting thing made in the mid-19th century by the Siddons Foundry was the cast iron glue pot. This was two pots in one, and many times they did not separate. Called a Bain Marie, one pot held hide

“Vintage No. 5 J and J Siddons, West Bromwich, 4 pints” is engraved on the pot.

glue strips, which were melted down into a fluid state by heating the water in the outside pot. Before the advent in World War II of a universal adhesive, hide glues were what we had. And they were used in almost all fine woodworking, not to mention other uses. Piano makers could not make a piano with the glue pot, which were set on their own little stoves, or on a coal shop stove, or heated directly in the hearth. Why were hide glues so effective? And, sadly, we know most of the glue came from horse carcasses; slaughterhouses in the 1800s were dedicated to horse-glue making (awful!) for these purposes. Hide glue does not “creep.” In other words, it has some flexibility and will not crack, and to this day is the preferred glue for piano makers and restorers and fine craftsmen in wood. Siddons Foundry was premier in making these little pots and most craftsmen had a few of them in various sizes in the 19th century. What I love about J.F.’s pot is the shape of the handle as it arcs and angles up, and that is why I call it a brilliant piece of engineering as the heated liquid inside would be leveraged away from the handler. And it is beautiful to look at, like a piece of sculpture in cast iron, invented by the Romany gypsies. Collectors of early gypsy cast iron cookware would pay J.F. $200 for this pot. 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.

Bank of the Sierra provides grants to nonprofits Bank of the Sierra has announced it gave $27,000 to 10 nonprofits in the bank’s Central Coast and Southern California markets during the first quarter. The bank will continue to prioritize funding for nonprofits affected by the pandemic through its Sierra Grant Program, which awards $1,000 to $5,000 grants to 15 to 30 nonprofits each quarter. Overall in the first quarter, Bank of the Sierra awarded a total of $86,500 to nonprofits in Santa Barbara County and seven other counties served by the bank.

Valley Children’s Healthcare Foundation will support its Patient Help Fund with a Sierra Grant. The program assists families facing an unexpected financial need during their child’s medical treatment, and has helped pay for rent, auto repairs, utility and other bills, baby cribs, strollers and more. The Patient Help Fund has seen an increased number of requests due to COVID-19 as well. Valley Children’s supports families throughout Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, San Joaquin, Kern, Tulare, Kings,

Fresno, Madera, Mariposa, Tuolumne, Merced and Stanislaus counties. The foundation is one example of a nonprofit helped by the Bank of the Sierra. “We are thrilled to support organizations that do so much for our communities,” Kevin McPhaill, Bank of the Sierra president and CEO, said in a news release. “We are committed to making a difference in every community we serve.” — Grayce McCormick

Solvang hospital wins high honor SOLVANG – Santa Ynez Valley Cottage Hospital has been named one of the top 20 Critical Access Hospitals in the nation for Best Practice in Patient Satisfaction. The Solvang hospital received the honor from the National Rural Health Association. The hospital has earned this award five times since 2014, and it was the only hospital from California to earn a CAH award from NRHA this year.

Top 20 Critical Access Hospitals scored best among the nation’s critical access hospitals, as determined by The Chartis Center for Rural Health’s 2021 top 100 CAH list, which was released earlier this year. Earning a place among the Top 20 for Best Practice in Patient Satisfaction means that Santa Ynez Valley Cottage Hospital has scored in the top percentile based on national standards for outstanding patient satisfaction.

“We are proud of the efforts of all physicians and staff who have contributed to our hospital achieving this important designation,” Katie Gorndt, vice president of Santa Ynez Valley Cottage Hospital, said in a news release. “Our results as a top hospital for patient satisfaction means our community can count on us to deliver the services they need now and in the future.” — Dave Mason

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.
