28 new COVID-related deaths reported By JORGE MERCADO NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Residents and visitors have shared stories of large groups of bikers ignoring the signs to dismount in the 500 block of State Street, doing wheelies and creating potential danger for pedestrians on the narrowed street.

Bicyclists ignoring dismount signs create potential danger for pedestrians By GRAYCE MCCORMICK

NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

As the city of Santa Barbara tries to regulate the State Street promenade, maintain social distancing and enforce maskwearing, another problem has been added on top: bicyclists. Residents and city leadership alike have seen, and dodged, large groups of bikers coasting down the promenade, sometimes doing wheelies. The city put multiple signs in the 500 block of State Street marking a “dismount zone,” where bicyclists have to get off and walk their bikes through the area with parklets. However, many have been ignoring the signs and getting away with it. Ann Katheryn is a hostess and server at Holdren’s Steaks & Seafood at 512 State St. “When I was hosting the other night in front, a biker almost hit me,” she told the News-Press. “He was doing a wheelie and turned his wheel at the last second so it didn’t hit my face.” The hostess added one of her coworkers said the bicyclists have almost gotten into fights, and she’s seen people along the street get “really annoyed.” Jennifer Earwood is one of three managers at Holdren’s, and said she, the staff and customers saw a physical fight break out between a teenager doing a wheelie and an older man who almost got hit.

“Obviously, that doesn’t really make for the best dining environment,” she told the NewsPress. “You see wheelies and stuff all the time. It would be nice if they would just dismount. It’s very dangerous, especially for people that can’t move away as fast or aren’t paying attention, especially tourists.” Justin Fitzgerald, the manager of The Cruisery at 501 State St., said he sees bikers riding through the 500 block “like 60 times a day.” “They just go up and down State Street, just back and forth and it’s the same group of kids,” the Please see BIKES on A8

The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department revealed 28 previously unreported COVID-19 deaths Friday afternoon. The department, citing a data error on its end, said the new deaths were not reported from June 22 to July 27. There have now been 60 COVID-19 related deaths in Santa Barbara County. The department’s error did not impact the normal notification process to families, according to Dr. Van Do-Reynoso, the county’s public health director. “This delay in reporting happened because of a process error as we transitioned from a manual process for disease investigation to the state’s CalConnect platform for investigation and contact tracing,” Dr. Do-Reynoso said. “To rectify this going forward, we have established improved processes to ensure accurate COVID-19 death counts.” Moving forward, the county will now report deaths directly from death certificates as they received them. “As such, we anticipate that death reporting will likely be delayed for a few days due to processing time and, in situations where death is a coroner’s case, we may not have confirmation for several months,” Dr. Do-Reynoso said. The additional deaths do not play a role in the county being on the state’s monitoring list. “While these stats and the increasing numbers are serious, they are not considered as part of the state monitoring metrics. The six include positivity rates, testing numbers, case rate, as well as hospital capacity in ICU and

ventilators. They do not include death rates,” Dr. Do-Reynoso said. The problem was first identified on Wednesday and, over the next 48 hours, the county was able to confirm the additional 28 deaths. Of those, 16 of them came from Santa Maria, which now has 34 total deaths. No other city in the county has more than six deaths. The cities of Santa Barbara and Lompoc each reported three additional deaths. Each city has reported a total of six deaths due to the coronavirus, according to the county data. Broken down by race demographic, 22 were listed as hispanic and six were listed as causasion. Additionally, 16 of those deaths were in people over the age of 70, nine came from the 50-69 age range, two came from the 30-49 age range and one came from the 18-29 age range. Nineteen of the newly reported deaths came within the first three weeks of July. The county reported five deaths in the last week of July. Twenty of the deaths are reported from the hospital, two died at their homes and six passed away from care facilities. “The county is committed to ensuring we are providing accurate, transparent and timely information about the coronavirus in our community… We’re being fully transparent about this issue. There is no way to sugarcoat this news,” 2nd District Supervisor Gregg Hart said. “This new information underscores the severity of COVID-19. There’s a strong link between the increasing number of cases, increasing hospitalizations and increasing deaths. This disease is very dangerous to Please see covid on A7

DAVID GRESS PHOTOS

Attractive, almost maintenance-free tree graces Santa Barbara By DAVID GRESS SPECIAL TO THE NEWS-PRESS

W

ater Gum is as close as you can get to a “perfect tree” for ornamental purposes in Santa

Barbara. It has beautiful green foliage all year long, has attractive fragrant flowers, is tolerant of both dry and wet conditions, grows in almost any type of soil, is essentially insectand disease-free, tolerates pollution and, perhaps most importantly, is almost maintenance-free. It checks all the boxes to qualify as a great tree to plant in our home gardens and on our streets. Locally, it will grow to be a smallto medium-sized tree, ultimately reaching a height of 20 to 30 feet with a spread of 15 to 20, but it can grow larger in irrigated or wet areas. While it develops naturally as a multiple-trunked tree, it can easily be trained to have a single trunk — useful for placement in narrow spaces or for use as a street tree. It will create a compact dense canopy, which can be thinned out nicely. It does have a rather slow growth rate. Its evergreen foliage is composed of narrow lance-shaped leaves (3

to 5 inches long and 1/3 to ¾ inches wide). These are a glossy dark green above and a lighter green on the underside and emerge alternately on the twigs. Interestingly, new twig growth is a dark purple at first, changing to a tan-gray with age. Bright yellow flowers (tiny, only up to ½ inch across) first appear in clusters called “cymes” (meaning flowers on the terminal tips of the twigs). These are followed by additional lower peripheral flowers on lateral stems. Flowers are most prolific in July and August but can bud at other times of the year. While each flower is small, the sheer abundance of them can provide a dramatic effect when the tree is in full bloom. The production of abundant sweet nectar and generous pollen attracts large numbers of honeybees. After the flowers are pollinated, light brown seed capsules mature. These are woody, bell-shaped and up to ¼ inch in diameter. The bark on a young tree is a light tan that turns gray over time. It sheds in large patches, giving the trunk of a mature tree a handsome mottled look. The tree is native to the east coast of Australia, from Queensland to Victoria. Because it is often found growing there in

wet areas and along creek banks, it has earned the common names of “Water Gum,” “Swamp Myrtle” and “Kanooka”. It is in the Myrtaceae (Myrtle) plant family, so it is related to eucalyptus, though it is much better behaved. Its botanical name is now Tristaniopsis laurina. Before reclassification in 1982, it was known as Tristania laurina. The genus name, Tristaniopsis, honors the French botanist Jules Tristan (1776-1861). The suffix “-opsis” means that it “looks like” Tristania. The specific epithet, laurina, is Latin for “laurel-like,” referring to the fact that the foliage is like that on true laurel trees. Since Water Gum was first introduced into the California nursery trade in 1963, there have been several cultivars selected for propagation. The one best known is “Elegant.” It has thicker and glossier leaves, reddish-colored new growth, and a more robust and stately appearance. Water Gum should be planted in full sun to partial shade. As its name would imply, it prefers moist locations, although once established it does not need additional irrigation. It does exceedingly well in our

Mediterranean climate because it can endure our long dry periods. It will tolerate almost any type of soil, provided there is adequate drainage. Being a low-maintenance tree (dropping little messy litter and needing only minimal pruning to shape it when young), it is highly recommended as a fine landscape tree. Mature Water Gum trees can be seen (mixed with Brisbane Box trees, Lophostemen confertus) on upper State Street (between Ontare and Hope Avenue) and on the 1600 to 2100 blocks of Anacapa Street. The best examples of young vigorous specimens can be seen in the 1000 and 1100 blocks of East Mason Street and on Wilson Avenue. Tree of the Month, presented by Santa Barbara Beautiful, increases awareness and appreciation of Santa Barbara’s many outstanding trees. The nonprofit organization partners with the Parks and Recreation Department to fund tree planting along city streets. Visit Santa Barbara Beautiful’s website, sbbeautiful.org, to get more information on the organization’s programs and activities, and to view past Trees of the Month.

It’s affecting our relationship. I almost feel like he’s gaslighting me. What say you, Abby? — Pushing my Buttons Dear Pushing: I say you are absolutely right. Your husband’s behavior is emotionally abusive, not funny. It would be interesting to know how years of that kind of treatment have affected his daughter. The effects of a parent’s ridicule can remain with a child into adulthood. Because you haven’t been able to get through to him, perhaps you should enlist the assistance of a licensed marriage counselor. If he refuses to go with you, you should go by yourself. And if nothing changes, ask yourself if this is how you are prepared to spend the rest of your life. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com or P.O.

Horoscope.com Saturday, August 1, 2020

ARIES — Your brain and warrior instincts agree today, Aries. Team up with others who share similar thoughts and desires. Conversations can be extremely rewarding. You’re apt to learn a lot about yourself. Don’t be afraid to share deep thoughts and emotions. Your willingness to express yourself demonstrates how comfortable you are with your actions and feelings. TAURUS — Something or someone could confront you today, Taurus. Try not to assume things about the situation before you know all the facts. If a piece of the puzzle is still in question, face the issue right away. Your sensitivity is precious, whether you realize it or not. Small things can slowly eat away at your psyche until they’re addressed and dealt with. GEMINI — Have no fear today, Gemini. You have the power and mental capacity to cut through just about anything. Don’t let fear or regret hold you back. Clear the path and be strong in your approach to the new and different. Stay on target and be bold in your actions. You have the ability to conquer new literal and figurative lands. Release mental blocks that might hinder your success. CANCER — Don’t worry about not being on the right path, Cancer, because you are. You seem to always be in the right place at the right time. There’s no need to feel regret or shame about things that have happened in the past. Turn negative experiences into lessons for a better future. Even though you may not be able to change a certain situation, you can at least change your reaction to it. LEO — A war could be brewing in your world today, Leo. Emotionally charged arguments shoot back and forth with conviction. Try not to get discouraged. Don’t burn any bridges either. Remember that your words may fall on extremely sensitive ears, so use them with care. There’s a very active part of your psyche that needs to be heard. Feel free to say your peace openly and honestly. VIRGO — An inner voice is warning you to slow down, Virgo. It’s probably best if you take a break and let someone else take the lead. Concentrate on matters at home and take care of issues that crop up among loved ones. It’s quite possible that an +*#!2 +1$)"$ argument is brewing. Whether

you realize it or not, there are serious issues that need to be addressed. LIBRA — Today is a fantastic day to take action, Libra. Your eagerness to strike out for new territory is heightened by a drive to experience the unknown. Take an internal journey and see what kind of wonderful things you can discover. There’s a tremendous strength inside you that doesn’t always get to show itself. This is the perfect day to prove your courage to the world. SCORPIO — Think before you act today, Scorpio. Rash moves are likely to get you into trouble. An annoying interruption in your daily routine could throw you off guard. Sit down and think about the situation before you act too hastily. Bumps in the road are often messages from the universe that you’re moving too quickly and carelessly. It’s time to slow down. SAGITTARIUS — Today is a great day to act on things that have been brewing in your brain for quite some time, Sagittarius. Perhaps you’ve been feeling unsure of yourself. It’s OK to surrender and admit that you just don’t have all the answers. Use this as an opportunity to restructure and rebuild. Embrace the unknown rather than fear or resist it. This is a great time to move toward it. CAPRICORN — Be a bit more sensitive with your words today, Capricorn. Your mind is apt to be especially active and even a bit restless. This is more than likely a signal to get more of your opinions out into the world. As you do, make sure you consider the feelings of others. People might have quite a different reaction to the same situation. Respect opposing viewpoints. AQUARIUS — Your mind is clear and your sensitivity focused, Aquarius. Now is a good time to make a move. Don’t let insecurity or fear keep you from pursuing your dreams. Realize that action you take today doesn’t need to be a bold outward movement in order to be effective. In truth, quite the contrary is true. You can accomplish a great deal by turning thought and energy inward. PISCES — Cool your jets today, Pisces. This is a good time to stop and focus on you. Make sure to give your body the respect it deserves. Make sure you’re fostering the kind of character you wish to become. Base your self-image on something internal rather than an external craving for attention from others. Your true beauty lies within.

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.

Agreement reached for 2020-21 school year SANTA BARBARA — The Santa Barbara Teachers’ Association and Santa Barbara Unified School District have reached an agreement on working conditions related to the 2020-21 school year. The following items were agreed to: teachers will have the option of teaching from their classrooms as they implement distance learning; teachers agreed to repurpose a previously agreed upon March 1, 2021 non-student day and apply those hours for required professional learning prior to the Aug. 13 return to work date; staff may be involved in some inperson services on campus, such as individualized assessments, family meetings and other one-onone interactions as needed under health and safety guidelines; and all teacher evaluation protocols will remain in place as normal for the school year, according to officials. Both parties will follow guidance from the county Public Health Department as the school year begins, with a commitment to returning to in-person instruction and conditions permit. “I’m proud of our work, and I can attest to the fact that we kept students at the center of our negotiations, while ensuring the health and safety of our employees,� Santa Barbara Unified lead negotiator, Dr. John Becchio, Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources, said in a statement. “It is also important to note that at no time did either party bring forward any proposal for schools to remain closed in a distance learning model for the entire 20/21 school year, nor would Santa Barbara Unified ever agree to such terms.� Santa Barbara Unified Superintendent Hilda Maldonado said she was pleased with the quick agreement. “The Governor announced his order for distance learning on July

17, and less than two weeks later, we wrapped up negotiations with the teacher’s union,� she said in a statement. “That is rare, especially under these extraordinary circumstances. Teachers agreeing to do required professional learning prior to their return date reaffirms to our community how incredibly dedicated they are and how important it is for us (to) return to school as soon as it is safe to do so.� — Mitchell White

Sansum surgery center receives accreditation The GI Ambulatory Surgery Center of Sansum Clinic received the highest third-party recognition a surgery center can receive, and is considered to be the gold standard for the industry. The Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care Inc., which accredits more than 6,100 organizations, distinguished the Gastroenterology Department from many other outpatient facilities for its adherence to rigorous standards of care and safety. With this status, Sansum Clinic has met nationally-recognized standards, and the center has met all conditions in order for Medicare patients to receive coverage. In addition, Sansum Clinic now participates in peer-review and education to consistently improve care and services, along with committing to an on-site survey every three years by AAAHC staff. The Surgery Center, located at 317 W. Pueblo St., provides comprehensive care for gastrointestinal disorders staffed by board-certified gastroenterologists.

County awarded Caltrans transportation grant The project includes public outreach, an existing conditions analysis and user needs assessment, along with an innovative plan that officials say will serve as a blueprint for other rural and coastal counties throughout the state. The countywide planning process will begin this fall and finish in spring 2023, Mr. Wageneck said. “This grant will help us address alternative transportation in the County as part of our current update of the County’s Circulation Element to address vehiclemiles-traveled. We don’t have an Active Transportation Plan or a recent countywide transportation plan, so this is a first-of-itskind planning document,� Dan Klemann, planning and development deputy director for the Public Works Department, said in a statement. The Public Works and Planning and Development departments will co-manage ATP development to ensure the plan

By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Santa Barbara County has announced that it has received a $475,000 Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant from Caltrans. The grant, along with more than $60,000 in county matching money funding, will fund development of the county’s Active Transportation Plan. The plan will integrate and update existing plans, including the circulation element, bicycle master plan and community projects, said Lael Wageneck, spokesman for the county Public Works Department. The ATP will also serve as a master plan and policy document to guide development and maintenance of active transportation infrastructure, including sidewalks, multi-use trails and bikeways, as well as Safe-Route-to-School programs for unincorporated areas of the county.

identifies and prioritizes facilities that will best promote active modes of transportation throughout the unincorporated county, including its disadvantaged and underserved communities. “The hard work paid off for the teams from both departments that submitted this application,� Public Works Director Scott McGolpin said in a statement. “This is a very competitive grant. Caltrans awarded 77 grants from 178 applications, and the County received one of the highest amounts in the State.� The ATP will also guide the county’s efforts to pursue funding opportunities for new or improved facilities.

‘The scale of this tragedy is growing each day’ covid

Continued from Page A1 many people who are getting ill and dying. And many of those who’ve recovered are experiencing lingering medical complications that could be very serious. “The scale of this tragedy is growing each day. We need to honor the people who are sick and have died by doing everything we can to stop the spread of this virus.� The county also reported 74 new cases of COVID-19 on Friday, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 6,167. There was not a single day this week where the county reported more than 100 cases. “I was encouraged by those numbers myself and I hope that this is not just a short-lived trend, but continues in the right direction, so I’m hopeful,� said Dr. Henning Ansorg, the county’s public health officer. Dr. Ansorg did note that the transmission rate in the county is still very high, as seen in the state’s metric of the case rate per 100,000 people over 14 days, which is over 200.

“Today, (however), this case rate fell for the first time in many weeks, which I find very encouraging. Our goal is to reduce this case rate to below 100 and I know that we can get there in a matter of weeks if we all do our part,� Dr. Ansorg said. Of the overall cases, 249 are still considered active, or still infectious, according to the county’s website. That number is down 41 from Thursday’s total. Of the active cases, 85 people are recovering in the hospital and 28 are in the Intensive Care Unit. The majority of the cases announced Friday came out of Santa Maria, which announced 47 new cases. Santa Maria has the most cases by city in the county, with 2,789. Of those, 97 are active and no other city has more than 50 active cases. Santa Barbara reported five new cases, bumping the city’s total to 768 with 44 of those being active. The city of Lompoc and the communities of Montecito, Summerland, Orcutt each recorded four new cases each. The unincorporated areas of Sisquoc, Casmalia, Garey, Cuyama, New Cuyama and

the city of Guadalupe announced two new cases, while the cities of Orcutt and Goleta each reported one new case. There were also no new cases in the Federal Prison Complex in Lompoc, which, according to the county’s website, has no current active cases. Dr. Ansorg credits the dip in cases as a result of the messaging from the county and the responsibility shown by each resident after seeing the results of the spike in the case numbers. “I do believe that people are taking the messaging more seriously with regard to wearing a face mask. There’s also nationally and internationally more information coming out all the time about how important it is. We have to update our recommendations continuously because we find out new facts about this virus and how aggressive it actually is and that it does spread through the air, which we didn’t have proof of before and therefore I think people are listening,� Dr. Ansorg said.

‘You can see the safety concerns’

HEISINGER, Wayne

BIKES

You are so missed. I was so incredibly fortunate to have you as my husband for so many wonderful years. It started at S.B. High School and continued at Cal State University at Fresno. We met again in 2001. We were again together for 20 years. The most wonderful years. Wayne has three children: Wayne, Darrel and Eva. He was a member of First Presbyterian Church in S.B. serving as Deacon and Elder. Wayne was retired as an army veteran with 21 years of active duty serving two years in Vietnam as a counter mortar radar platoon sergeant. He is survived by his wife and high school sweetheart Rose Ann Bowser. May he rest in peace.

Continued from Page A1 manager told the News-Press. “We’re tucked in enough where it doesn’t bother us, but it is frustrating. There’s clearly signs everywhere and everyone else is adhering to the rules.” He also recalled a confrontation between two groups of bicyclists, and said he even saw one bicyclist reaching for his waistband. Law enforcement was called and the bicyclist took off running, according to Mr. Fitzgerald. “You can see the safety concerns. People are having to step and get out of the way — people with kids, people with dogs. It’s frustrating to watch,” he said. Marisol Vega manages the Natural Cafe next door to Holdren’s, and said she hasn’t personally heard any complaints. “I think they (the customers) know that it’s out of our hands to do anything about it anyways,” she told the News-Press. “How effectively can we control that? We really can’t, honestly. We’re trying to control everyone wearing face masks. We’re not going to add onto that when it doesn’t physically hurt us.” When asked if he had seen wheelies, Daniel Bridges, who manages Institution Ale at 516 State St., answered, “Big time. Big time.” “We do see it at least three or four times a day,” he told the News-Press. “Some people walk their bikes. Some people ride

respectfully and others not so respectfully. It’s been getting a little dicey.” Maya Brooking and Nick Marx were walking their bikes through the 500 block on Friday afternoon, and locked their bikes to the parklet fence at one of the restaurants. “It takes maybe a minute longer (to walk),” Mr. Marx said. “It’s one block.” Ms. Brooking agreed that walking the bike through is simple. “It takes five seconds to walk through. It’s really nothing,” she told the News-Press. “Just be human about it. There’s a lot of

pedestrians here. We’re all in the same, weird boat together.” The matter was mentioned in Tuesday’s city council meeting by council member Mike Jordan, who said the bicyclists who ignore the signs are “clearly there for confrontation.” “I can tell you they (the bicyclists) were going right by the guys in the booth (the ambassadors), so the guys in the booth need a stick or something to stick in their spokes. They’re very obnoxious,” the council member said. “I witnessed multiple people tell them to stop, and their responses were F-bombs. They are not there because they’re looking for some place to do their tricks. They’re clearly there to do them right there in other people’s faces where they’re being told not to.” Rob Dayton, the transportation planning and parking manager for the city, responded to Mr. Jordan’s comments. “Without judging what’s going on in their (the bicyclist’s) heads, they’re having a lot of fun. It’s really nice to see so much youth activity going on on State Street,” he said. “Yes, the 500 block behaviors are not acceptable. We think the best solution is to have some police department presence and education in coordination with the ambassadors to stop that behavior, but we do think it’s important to address bicycling in general and not focus on the wheelie riders.”

Mr. Jordan responded to Mr. Dayton, saying, “I’ll not read into their heads either, but they were definitely doing it on one block back and forth on purpose, so I don’t think you have to read further into their heads to get their ideas. I’ve gotten emails that there are people who are uncomfortable on that block, not because of the small percentage of people not wearing masks, not because of the close proximity -- it’s the bikers that are terrorizing them.” Council member Oscar Guiterrez addressed Mr. Jordan’s comments as well, and pointed out that during the council’s youth safety task force meeting, law enforcement stated crime among the youth in Santa Barbara has dropped “significantly.” “I don’t know, maybe it’s because they’re biking and they’re actually staying active and staying out of trouble,” he said. “To make comments about having city staff put sticks in their spokes.. These are children we’re talking about. I’m not a parent but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t want someone, especially an elected official, talking like that about my children.” The council came to a consensus that additional signage and police presence will most likely decrease the poor biking behavior, and it will revisit the issue if it continues. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

manager for Insomnia Cookies, told the News-Press. First started at the University of Pennsylvania in 2003, Insomnia Cookies brand relies heavily on staying open late for those college crowds, or even working adults, looking to end their night with a sweet snack. In fact, founder Seth Berowitz started the company because “there wasn’t really anyone like us in the market at the time,” said Ms. Palombit. Due to the current pandemic, its hours have changed slightly but it is usually open at other locations from 12 p.m. to 1 a.m. “I think that something that sets us apart from the beginning was just that our cookies are served warm and also delivered warm and that we’re open until 3 a.m.,” Ms. Palombit said. “We have always been that late company that delivers right to your door and delivers to you when you need a study break or whatever it may be.” Insomnia Cookies sells a variety of treats including classic traditional cookies, such as chocolate chunk, snickerdoodles and oatmeal raisin, as well as more deluxe options. Ice cream is also sold individually or in between two cookies or with a brownie. Opening a location in Santa Barbara also comes with many advantages. Located on State Street, Ms. Palombit hopes it will attract a lot of customers throughout the night. “Our location is going to serve Westmont College, Santa Barbara City College and also the University of California, Santa Barbara so it really has a lot of opportunities there for us,” she said. The opening, which was originally set for Aug. 3 but has been pushed back because of the pandemic, will mark Insomnia Cookies’ ninth location in California. Currently, there is no set date in mind for the opening, but it will likely be near the end of the month.

Insomnia Cookies offers a wide array of treats to satisfy any sweet tooth, including nine traditional cookies such as chocolate chunk and snickerdoodles as well as some deluxe options such as salted caramel, and oatmeal chocolate walnut.

“It’s been a bit different for us this time around as some of our locations that have opened recently throughout the pandemic have been more of a virtual launch for us. We usually like to have our boots on the ground, but even this opening will be more of a digital push for us,” Ms. Palombit. The store has also already tried making some local partnerships to engrain itself in the community, something the brand tries to do in every location it opens in. “We have partnered with the Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara and we’re going to give $1 from every Sugar Rush sold, and it’s going to be donated back to them,” Ms. Palombit said. “We just really thought that partnership was a really great fit for us, especially since that’s true to our core where we’re servicing college students. We really want to give back to that community as well.” While it might seem a bit odd to open a storefront in the middle of a pandemic, Ms. Palombit mentioned that something that helps Insomnia Cookies is its experience in being a safe delivering vehicle for food to customers’ doors.

With the opening in Santa Barbara, Insomnia Cookies now has nine locations across the state of California.

She is also very confident the store can do well for the local community. “We have really tried to restructure how we serve customers and we have gone to contactless delivery, so we feel this is still a good opportunity for us to open this store and it gives the community another option for a late-night snack,” Ms. Palombit said.

“I am pretty confident the store will do well. There are those college communities around and I think with the Santa Barbara community in general we will do well. I don’t really think that there’s many other more cookie options in the area, so it’s definitely something new for the community to enjoy.” email: jmercado@newspress.com
