Reason to celebrate Roosevelt Elementary throws parade marking Teacher Appreciation Week

By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

T

here were many cheers and even a few tears shed on Friday morning when Roosevelt Elementary School teachers drove in a short parade to celebrate last week, Teacher Appreciation Week.

As the teachers took off in their cars decorated in the school’s green and gold colors and signs telling students how much they’ve missed seeing them in person during the COVID-19 shutdown, the kids and their parents stood along the route covering Garden, Carrillo, Santa Barbara, Mission, Laguna Street and Los Olivos streets. They waved signs with similar heartfelt messages and cheered on their teachers as they drove by honking their horns.

Roosevelt Elementary assistant principal and soon-to-be principal Valerie Galindo was the ringleader in putting together this event. True to its celebratory spirit, she even showed up to it in an inflatable, pink unicorn suit with a rainbow mane despite the hot weather.

Although school lessons have been continuing online, Ms. Galindo noticed that

many Roosevelt teachers felt disappointed they couldn’t see their kids in person. As this mounting desire to see the students again coincided with the week of May 4 to 8, Teacher Appreciation Week, Ms. Galindo decided to organize a parade to recognize both. “That was what today was about, to celebrate our teachers and to still make those wonderful connections,� she said Of course, to observe social distancing all involved in the parade stayed in their cars.

After the parade, Ms. Galindo remarked that it was extremely satisfying to see everybody in person after so many weeks. “It was amazing to see all these faces. Roosevelt is a very spread out attendance area, so it was nice to get to connect and see all those smiling faces and actually make real eye contact instead of just through Zoom,� she said.

Though the parade route was set up so it had several parks along the way to provide room for spectators to distance themselves however they felt comfortable, outgoing Roosevelt Elementary principal Christy Bazemore said she was still impressed by how many people showed up to show appreciation for

the teachers. “We had much more people come out than we thought would‌ It was a blast,â€? she said.

The extensive cheering section included parent Susanne Germano, who stood at the start of the parade route with her two daughters, first grader Skyla and Sienna, who is in T-K. As the two girls cheered on their respective teachers Sunny Godlis and Alison Throop as well as the rest of the Roosevelt staff, Ms. Germano echoed the opinion of many, that the parade was a great opportunity to see everybody after such a long time apart. “It’s wonderful to just come together even though we have this distance and see our teachers and spread the love,� she said.

In an interview with the NewsPress, Roosevelt parent Analise Maggio said Friday’s gesture of appreciation went beyond a general celebration of teachers and recognized the way in which they have continued to provide education by adapting to the COVID-19 situation. “They have all pivoted in such incredible ways to still not just provide curriculum for our kids, but also normalcy for our kids and morale for our kids at a time when

they are at home, not around their friends, and not as social as usual,� she said.

Beside Ms. Maggio and her family was Ashley Transki and his family, who brought glass jars of granola to hand out to all the teachers as a token of thanks.

Chef and co-founding partner of catering company Duo, Mr. Transki was originally going to make lunches for all the teachers.

However, the nature of the event didn’t make it easy to hand out meals to everyone in the parade, so he elected to hand out jars of granola he made instead. “There wasn’t a lot of thought into why we did granola, it just happened to be something that was kind of fun to package up,� he said.

However, Mr. Transki will continue showing appreciation for Roosevelt Elementary School teachers next week by making them those lunches. The teachers will be able to order them from Duo anytime next week and the catering company will deliver the lunches to them. For Mr. Transki, donating lunches to the teachers through his company is simply “a thank you� and “a little appreciation.� email: jgrega@newspress.com

he Santa Barbara Nordstrom in Paseo Nuevo will not reopen when COVID-19 restrictions are lifted.

The luxury department store chain has opted to close 16 of its stores by August, spelling another loss for a struggling downtown hit hard by the coronavirus crisis.

The loss of Paseo Nuevo’s only remaining anchor department store comes on the cusp of a major development deal with the city of Santa Barbara and extensive renovations that are expected to be completed this summer.

Paseo Nuevo learned of the closure Thursday and has not been in contact with Nordstrom’s corporate office for additional details. “They are currently closed. My understanding is that they will not be re-opening after COVID19, but I have not heard a specific date from them,� said Mary Lynn Harms-Romo, senior marketing director for Paseo Nuevo.

Nordstrom said 16 full-line stores, including Norstrom Tyler, Nordstom Santa Barbara Paseo

Nuevo and Nordstrom Montclair Place, will be closed to respond to the impacts of COVID-19 and ensure Nordstrom is “able to continue serving customers well into the future.� “We will not reopen these stores to the public and anticipate all 16 of these stores will be closed by August 2020.

These types of decisions are never easy because we realize what this means for our employees. We’re committed to taking care of them as best we can, including providing support and resources through this transition,� said Nordstrom’s corporate office in a statement.

Although a major loss for Santa Barbara’s downtown and Paseo Nuevo, Ms. Harms-Romo said the mall is optimistic about finding a replacement to take on the 160,000 square-feet of retail space. “It is an opportunity to reimagine the space and possibly use it for other uses than a department store. There’s always an opportunity when something becomes available so that’s what we’re diving into right now,� said Ms. Harms-Romo.

Cities write newsom Solvang, Carpinteria pen letter about reopening

By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A

s the state awaits more information regarding Gov. Gavin Newsom’s plan to reopen California during the COVID-19 pandemic, two local municipalities have reached out to the governor’s office for guidance.

On Monday, the Solvang City Council wrote to Gov. Newsom and outlined the various healthfocused actions the city has taken during the pandemic, while also expressing an interest in the development of San Luis Obispo County’s START readiness plan, which could provide Solvang with a “head start� in reopening local businesses. “It was with great hope that I listened to your announcement (Sunday) that California would be moving into Stage 2 of your opening plan,� read the letter from Solvang Mayor Ryan Toussaint. “It was with even greater hope that I contemplated

your announcement that local agencies, which have met certain criteria and readiness can move more quickly through Stage 2 and into Stage 3 openings based on local conditions, preparedness and appropriate adherence to social distancing and other protective measures.�

The letter cited “a steady downward or flattened trend� for new COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in the county over the past few weeks. It also noted that as of Monday, the city only had six confirmed cases in the Santa Ynez Valley, with only one new case since early April. “Many of the attributes which make our Valley so great for our wine industry — such as our protective transverse mountain ranges — seem to have also protected the Santa Ynez Valley in other ways,� the letter read. “Solvang is a Charter City, with a very active community base and a nimble responsive City government led by a dedicated City Council and staff.

The reason for the discrepancy in numbers, according to Dr. Ansorg, is because their “disease control team is able to process by noon of any given day� given the fact they have a lot of information to process.

FYI

At top, Mike Furner, a Lotusland gardener since 1979, will be among garden attendants assisting visitors during self-guided tours. He is a bromeliad specialist.

The pineapple is the most commonly known bromeliad. At left, Anna Bower, assistant curator at Lotusland, will be on hand to help visitors explore the gardens with their cellphones.

COURTESY PHOTOS

One of the first changes Madame Ganna Walska made after purchasing Lotusland in 1941 was to add cactus, succulent and euphorbia plantings to beds in front of her new residence. They are among more than 3,000 plants visitors can view when the world-famous gardens reopen to the public on May 20.

At left, the Japanese Garden, which features a central pond or lake with paths going around it, was envisioned by Madame Walska as a strolling garden. At right, many species of olive trees line the Olive Alee, which leads to the Cactus Garden.

If your friendship is strong, it should survive even if your romantic feelings are not reciprocated.

Thought for Today “It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.� — Harry S. Truman

'LIILFXOW\ /HYHO

&RQFHSWLV 3X]]OHV 'LVW E\ .LQJ )HDWXUHV 6\QGLFDWH ,QF

ARIES — No one dislikes red tape and bureaucracy more than you. But take advantage of today’s atmosphere. If you have applications to submit or formalities to complete, you’ll find the process much easier than usual. Normally closed communication channels open for you, and those grinding administrative mechanisms are suddenly well oiled. Polish off these official tasks so you won’t have to think about them again!

TAURUS — Some people tend to make mountains out of molehills.

Currently, you’re likely to feel as though you’re living or working people who exaggerate problems.

You, on the other hand, have a loftier perspective. You’re a visionary who can foresee future social trends in a post-pandemic world. This gift would serve you well as a political speechwriter, should you want to take on that sort of job.

GEMINI — You’re visionary and progressive today, Gemini, despite what people may say about your tendency to be conservative.

You could easily come up with an effective way to help people. For some reason, practical problems are easy for you to solve. Don’t pay any attention to the idle and ineffective chatter of intellectuals.

Use the extra time of shelter-inplace for doing instead of thinking.

CANCER — Today you should abandon any intellectual pursuits and concentrate on practical problems related to organization and goal setting. You’re likely to find perfect solutions within an hour of starting. The heavens are helping you, Cancer. Give them some credit for your ingenuity, and waste no time in implementing your plans!

LEO — You’re a great creator of systems, Leo. You can tinker with every sort of construction, from theories and computer programs to scientific experiments and strategic evaluations. Today the pandemic’s world-on-pause is your friend, and the planets are guiding you. You’re a perfect computer as you synthesize random events into pure reason. You’re sure to attract attention if you share your thoughts with others.

VIRGO — Who would have guessed that you have an ability to understand subjects as irrational as human passions? You’re getting down and dirty with the sticky, trivial realities of day-today life that never interested you before. Social distancing piques your curiosity. Your new nonstick coating would make you an excellent personnel director, hiring and firing at the drop of a hat. Has that thought ever occurred to you?

LIBRA — Until now, you didn’t know you were capable of managing people with problems.

But the so-called poetic universe you inhabit is actually much more realistic than it seems at first glance. People who believe that human reality is 100 percent logical will feel ridiculous when they see the elegant, humane solutions you invent.

SCORPIO — At last, a day of relief from the tension! The flow of communication facilitates personal and professional projects. Now is the time to listen to your partner or other family members about the material aspects of the future.

For example, are you setting aside enough money for your children’s education? Are you taking proper care of your home? Are your investments allocated correctly?

These are all issues worth considering today.

SAGITTARIUS — You’re well aware that your happiness in love doesn’t depend on emotional promises alone. In order to attract your attention, anyone new in your life has to make some material offering as well. That’s exactly what could happen today. That next package dropped at your door might be a gift from someone who has been buzzing around you for some time. Smile, Sagittarius.

People are finally beginning to catch on.

CAPRICORN — The mood is one of bustle and change, Capricorn.

It’s a good day to clear out your wardrobe or other belongings. Out with the old, in with the new! You may consign the old stuff to the basement or give it to charity. The main thing is to make room for your new tastes and new relationships.

A new person is being born in you, and a bit of online shopping may be in order. Clear the path for this being to come through!

AQUARIUS — Today is a good day to organize professional or personal meetings. They’ll be productive. It’s an auspicious time for efficient, serious communication, realistic plans, and group harmony. All ingredients for success and true advancement are available. Don’t be surprised if you’re the one in charge. You excel at creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere?even through the chilly distance of videoconferencing.

PISCES — It isn’t always easy to win the admiration you expect from your partner, Pisces. But in this area, today seems to be better than most. You’re likely to be brimming with ideas for ways to enhance your most appealing qualities. But don’t overdo it. Your efforts at physical or intellectual seduction are most effective when they’re subtle. And with social distancing, gratification may be delayed.

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.

Moore steps down after 27 years as Westmont head basketball coach

By MARK PATTON

J

NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

ohn Moore, who transferred to Westmont College to play basketball during the mid-1970s, announced on Friday that he is stepping down after 27 years as the Warriors’ head coach.

He once called it, “the best job in America, and not just the best basketball job.” But he also was one of the best to ever hold it, winning NAIA National Coach of the Year honors this year.

The Warriors were 26-5 and slotted as the No. 7 overall seed for the NAIA National Tournament when the season was abruptly halted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“My sole regret this season is that we were unable to compete in Kansas City, as it would have given us even more time together and one last chance to battle for a national championship,” Moore said.

Landon Boucher, one of his assistant coaches and himself a former Westmont guard, will succeed him as the 16th head coach in program history.

“He is one of our guys,” Moore said. “I would want whoever took over after I was done to be one of our guys.”

Moore, who will remain at Westmont as an associate professor of kinesiology and associate athletic director, surpassed his own former coach, Chet Kammerer, as the winningest coach in school history nearly a decade ago.

His coaching record of 558-278 was highlighted by 14 trips to the NAIA National Tournament, including the last six in a row.

His 2014-15 team finished as national runnersup while his 1998-99 team also advanced to the NAIA Final Four. Moore’s 2001-02 squad was a national quarterfinalist.

“It is hard to imagine 27 years have passed since that first year when Jeff Azain and I coached a team of players whom today I call lifetime friends,” Moore said. “Every team Jeff and I have coached has been unique, and while we have had success on the court, it has paled in comparison to the friendships our players have forged and the growth our men have experienced through their time at Westmont.”

Moore, who transferred to Westmont from Cypress College in 1976, averaged 6.9 assists per game for Kammerer’s NAIA Tournament team of 1977-78 — a mark that still ranks third in the Warrior record books. His 422 career assists rank fourth all-time even though he accumulated them in just two seasons.

“It was an honor to coach him and it was

John Moore has stepped down after his long service as the Westmont College basketball coach.

a pleasure to observe him as a coach,” said Kammerer, who spent 14 years as vicepresident of player personnel for the NBA’s Miami Heat. “As a player and coach, his basketball IQ, character, leadership and tenacity were on display.

“John Moore is a remarkable, humble and selfless man. In fact, the Moore name has left a legacy in the history of Warrior basketball.”

Kammerer’s mentorship made a profound impression on Moore.

“Chet’s reminded me of how being a kid lasts forever,” he said. “I’m more of a kid today because of his love of life and love of growing men up to be the best they can be.”

Kammerer enhanced Moore’s Christian faith when he brought him along on a recruiting trip during the summer before his senior year.

“Chet said to me, ‘John, if I were to give you a book, would you read it?’” Moore said. “And I told him I would. It was ‘Mere Christianity’ by C.S. Lewis. It’s one of the preeminent books on faith, written by one of the great writers of all time. I read it and it changed my life.”

Athletic director Dave Odell said Moore built

but we will keep our employees apprised as new information and guidance becomes available,” said Meiko S. Patton, a U.S. Post Office spokesperson.

The statement also read that, out of an abundance of caution, USPS employed a contract cleaner to enhance and supplement current cleaning protocols using disinfectants across the East Beach facility.

Friday also marked the first day some businesses were able to reopen for curbside pickup.

“I believe, each of us deeply understand what’s at stake in this moment, and we can’t wait to help support local businesses and their

on the foundation that Kammerer had laid at Westmont. “(Moore) was one of the toughest players ever to take the court at Westmont and his best teams were the ones that took on that character and battled in the way he played,” he said. “He will be remembered as an X’s and O’s pioneer. The way he adopted and then innovated the Princeton offense made any matchup against the Warriors a challenge.”

Boucher played for Moore from 2010 to 2012 after transferring from Oregon’s Chemeketa College, shooting 40.7% from three-point range for his career. He coached one season at Providence School, guiding the Patriots to a school-record win total and the CIF-Southern Section quarterfinals, before Odell brought him on to his own coaching staff at San Marcos High during the 2013-14 season.

Boucher took over as the Royals’ head coach the next year and compiled a four-year record of 89-36. His final team of 2017-18 went 27-7 to set a school record for victories and won the first CIF-SS basketball title in school history.

He was named CIF-SS Division 2A coach of the year.

“I’ve known Landon since before he enrolled at Westmont as a student-athlete,” Odell said.

“I was fortunate enough to coach with him for a few years. I’ve always been struck by his ability to relate to and teach a diverse group of athletes.

“Coach Boucher is a big picture thinker who is not here just to win games but also to build on the tradition set before him. He brings a strong faith commitment and a real understanding of the college’s academic mission and our aspirations as an athletic program.”

Boucher’s four years at San Marcos were followed by two as an assistant coach at Westmont.

“Those guys I had poured my life into for four years were graduating,” Boucher explained. “Instead of starting over, I felt like God was calling me to the college level.

“I have appreciated the amount of time John Moore has dedicated to me, especially in the last two years. He has also shown me what it is like to be a man of God in a leadership role – coaching for wins, but also coaching for Christ.

“Coach Moore has done a phenomenal job of leading this program to a really high level. I hope to continue to carry this program in the way that he led.”

His team at Westmont next year will include 12 of the 14 players from this year’s roster. email: mpatton@newspress.com

employees… This weekend, please make it your highest priority to call one of the businesses that have reopened and order anything over the phone,” Santa Barbara County Supervisor Gregg Hart said.

The list of businesses include antique stores, bookstores, clothing stores, florists, home and furnishing stores, jewelry stores, music stores, shoe stores, sporting goods stores and toy stores.

With Mother’s Day closing in, Mr. Hart also mentioned that now is the perfect time to help out local florists, who have especially been hit hard by the pandemic.

While Santa Barbara is slowly hoping to reopen, Mr. Hart did reveal that the path to that goal will take longer due to California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s new state requirements.

According to Mr. Hart, amongst the most strict conditions, “there must not be a single COVID-19 death in a county for 14 straight days.”

Cottage Health has collected 5,089 test samples, including 239 positive, 4,739 negative and 111 are pending. In most of the tests, patients did not require hospital admission. email: jmercado@newspress.com

Wanda Lucile Hargis, 92, passed away on February 18, 2020 after a short illness.

Wanda was born october 16, 1927 in Fullerton, CA and raised in Pasadena. She moved to Santa Barbara with her family in 1943 and graduated from Santa Barbara High School in 1944.

After graduation, Wanda earned a teaching credential from the Riviera campus at the State Teachers College in Santa Barbara. This school later became UCSB. She first taught elementary school in Morro Bay, CA and later moved back to Santa Barbara and taught at McKinley elementary. Later, she taught at Garfield, Wilson and Adams elementary schools. She finished her career as a math resource teacher at Adams.

Wanda met her future husband Daniel B. Hargis when she drove a church group to the Rose parade. On the way down to the parade, Dan rode in the back seat. However, on the return trip he rode in the front seat.

They were married in June 1956 and three boys quickly followed, Jerry in 1957, Jeff in 1958 and Joel in 1962. Wanda returned to teaching when Joel started kindergarten in 1967. Wanda had to take early retirement in 1984 due to severe hearing loss in both ears.

After Dan retired, they decided to sell their Goleta home and start a new life of retirement in the Quail Meadows community of Santa Maria. A new community with new neighbors of all about the same age and varied backgrounds meant a whole new life of friends, social activities and travel. Some of the highlights of their travel was a three-week trip to Australia and New Zealand. They also had a lengthy cruise on the Rhine and other rivers in Europe.

Wanda was preceded in death by her parents Charles and Edith Dooling, brother Bob, husband Daniel and son Joel.

Wanda is survived by her oldest son Jerry (Evelyn), her son Jeff and her niece Lorri Kirker (Randy) along with her grandson Garrett and many step-grandchildren.

Daughter-in-law Evelyn said Wanda was the best mother-in-law ever. Evelyn often said she hoped she could relate to her own relatives the way Wanda did with hers.

Evelyn often used the phrase “WWWD.” What would Wanda do?

Charles James McCracken, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Michigan State University, died of cancer on May 4, 2020, at his home in Santa Barbara. Eightyseven years old, born in Los Angeles on April 17, 1933, he was the third and last child of Charles James McCracken Sr, a newspaper pressman; and Alice (Henderson) McCracken, a church soloist. He grew up in Los Angeles, graduating from L.A. High in 1951 and from UCLA in 1955. He married Katherine Polutanowitsch in 1956, and with her has two children. He got an M.A. from Fordham and a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, both in philosophy.

For thirty-four years, from 1965 until 1999, he taught philosophy at Michigan State. After retiring from there, he was a visiting professor at Claremont Graduate University and the University of California, Santa Barbara.

He was interested in virtually every branch of philosophy, but the history of early modern philosophy was his specialty. Besides articles and book chapters, he published two books, one on the influence on British philosophy of the 17th-century French philosopher Nicolas Malebranche, the other (with Ian Tipton) on the sources of the idealist philosophy of the 18th-century Irish thinker George Berkeley. In 1998 Michigan State University accorded him its Distinguished Faculty Award, and after his retirement the Philosophy Department, through the generosity of a former student, endowed an annual lecture named for him.

Once retired, he and Katherine moved from East Lansing to Santa Barbara; but they’ve had a long attachment to Paris. They met there in 1956 when Katherine was a student at the Sorbonne, and in time they came to own a little Left Bank apartment. They spent their summers and all but one of their sabbaticals in Paris and, since retiring, have lived there for four months of the year.

Charles and Katherine shared a big love of Bach and Mozart and held that, if anything could betoken the existence and agony of God, it was Bach’s Chaconne in D Minor.

Atheists and socialists, they’ve been steady supporters of peace and social justice movements, and active members of the Unitarian Society of Santa Barbara. A man of great wit and kindness, Charles dedicated himself, above all, to two things: his family and his vocation as a teacher.

He was preceded in death by his father, his mother, his brother, and his sister. He’s survived by his wife, who has been his soul mate for sixty-four years; his daughter, Theresa McCracken; his son, Peter McCracken; his daughter-in-law, Anne Herlofsen; his grandson Alex Charles Herlofsen; numerous nieces, nephews, grandnieces, grandnephews, great-grandnieces and great-grandnephews, as well as a host of friends.

Contributions in his memory may be made to Oxfam or to Doctors Without Borders.

No services are planned at this time. However, donations can be made to any local animal shelter in Wanda’s name. She had a special place in her heart for all of the furry friends she had over her life.

In addition, the LLC auction will offer online one-of-a-kind experiences and special items on a third-party auction platform linked to the LL website. The auction will begin before the event in early July and close on the event date.

Ms. Anderson pointed out that Lotusland’s shortfalls are more than $1 million due to its closure and cancelled events.

“We are making revenue and personnel cuts, and the organization in future years will likely see reductions in our programs and events.

Administrative staff have been reduced, and some are working remotely. We are now bringing back staff in staggered shifts, but the loss in revenue will certainly impact our year, and frankly, our future.”

For the present, however, she encourages the public to visit Lotusland when it reopens because “it’s a wonderful alternative to the beaches with its 37 acres of spectacular gardens.

I think the late Michael Towbes, a longtime board member and lifetime honorary trustee, said it best, ‘Lotusland is an oasis of tranquility in an otherwise chaotic world.’”
