Back on the big screen Two Metropolitan Theatre cinemas officially reopen for movies

Hoping for a speedy recovery Local Dems, Republicans hope Trumps quickly recover from COVID-19 By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Prominent Democratic Party and GOP members expressed hope that President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump have speedy recoveries from COVID-19. The president announced via Twitter late Thursday night that he and the First Lady had tested positive for the coronavirus just after White House aide Hope Hicks also tested positive. His tweet read, “Tonight, @ FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!” On Friday, President Trump posted a video to Twitter announcing that he was doing “very well” following his diagnosis and was going to Walter Reed

National Military Medical Center “to make sure that things work out.” Santa Barbara County GOP chairwoman Bobbi McGinnis told the News-Press that her thoughts and prayers were with the president and first lady. She was optimistic about them recovering from the virus. “I think he’ll be up and running in no time,” she said. Ms. McGinnis added that she expects President Trump’s recovery will be speedy enough that he’ll be able to participate in the second presidential debate scheduled for Oct. 15 in Miami, and that he will be informed on the pandemic from the perspective of someone who has experienced the coronavirus. “I think he definitely will be at the first debate, and he’ll be Please see trumps on A7

Metropolitan Theatres Camino Real Cinemas in Goleta welcomed back guests Friday for the first time in six months due to COVID-19 restrictions. The theatre is operating at 25% capacity.

By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Metropolitan Theatres finally opened two of its Santa Barbara area cinemas to the public on Friday following Santa Barbara County’s move into the red tier. The two theaters now open for screenings are the Camino Real Cinema in the Camino Real Marketplace and the Fiesta 5 Theatres, located at 916 State St. They are both reduced to 25% capacity. In an interview with the News-Press, Metropolitan Theatres president David Corwin expressed great pleasure that the theater chain has started opening back up. “We’re certainly happy to be back in business,” he said. Moviegoers felt the same way. After stopping by Camino Real to inquire about tickets for a later screening, Santa Barbara resident Max Haws spoke to the News-Press and said theaters reopening was a sign of things going back to normal. Since his son was back from out of town, he and his family figured now it would be nice to catch a flick for the first time in a long time. “We were thinking it might be a great opportunity to see a movie again since we haven’t gone to a theater in six months,” he said. Ojai resident and Dos Pueblos high school culinary arts teacher Terri Ingram was at Camino Real to see “Tenet” and said the last time she saw a movie was when she was visiting Florida a few weeks ago. She remarked that seeing a movie on Friday felt “great” just as it did when she was in Florida. On Friday, both Fiesta 5 and Camino Real played three showings in each of their auditoriums. These included one late afternoon showing and two evening showings. Over this weekend, the theaters will also have three showings per auditorium, but will have matinees as well as evening screenings. According to Mr. Corwin, the two reopened theaters will have three screenings per auditorium on weekend days, and two screenings per auditorium on weekdays. While Christopher Nolan’s thriller “Tenet” and the comedy “Save Yourselves!” are playing at both locations, Fiesta 5 exclusively has Aaron Sorkin’s “The Trial of the Chicago 7” and drama “The 40-Year-Old Version.” Camino Real has the Marvel horror film “The New Mutants,” the thriller “Unhinged,”

Santa Barbara to implement license plate readers By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Metropolitan Fiesta 5 Theatre in Santa Barbara has officially reopened. The theater is screening films such as “Break the Silence,” “Tenet,” Save Yourselves!” as well as “Trial of Chicago 7” and “The 40-Year-Old Version.”

action flick “Ava,” and the Charles Dickens adaptation “The Personal History of David Copperfield.” “You want some there to be some variety so there’s more than the same five movies at both ends of town,” Mr. Corwin said. When it comes to new releases, Mr. Corwin said October is going to be a “pretty light” month. Next week it is expected to receive the Robert DeNiro family comedy “The War With Grandpa,” with horror film “The Wolf of Snow Hollow.” Action thriller “Honest Thief” is also scheduled to come out in October. That said, Metropolitan Theatres’ calendar is currently in flux as movie distribution companies move their releases around in order to get the biggest possible audiences under the circumstances. For instance, Metropolitan Theatres is expected to have a major release in November with the animated Disney movie “Soul.” On Friday, it lost the release of the 25th

James Bond film “No Time to Die” when it was announced the film’s release will be pushed to April 2021. Whatever films Metropolitan Theatres manages to get a hold of, Mr. Corwin hopes the county moves into the next tier as soon as possible so the cinemas can increase to 50% capacity. In order to attract more people into cinemas, Metropolitan Theatres is offering its discounted pricing normally reserved for Tuesdays from Sunday through Thursday, with members getting double points. The reopened theaters are taking safety precautions such as every other row remaining empty, three seats separating parties, and disinfecting auditoriums after each screening. Theater guests are required to wear masks at all times except when eating and drinking while seated in auditoriums.

Soon there will be no more fumbling for a crinkled ticket buried in a purse or straining outside the driver’s window to wave a proximity card in Santa Barbara’s public parking lots. The city is one more step away from replacing in-person kiosks at public lots with Automated License Plate Recognition systems, which simply read each entering car’s license plate to determine how long the cars used the parking space. If parkers use the parking lot within the allotted complimentary time (example: 75 minutes), the gate will automatically open when they exit. If they exceed the allowed time, the system will charge whatever amount is due, and parkers can just pay with their credit card. On Tuesday, the Santa Barbara City Council voted unanimously to install these systems at the downtown, waterfront and airport parking lots. The final step before installation now is receiving council approval of the equipment, which will cost around $500,000.

“We don’t like to do things until the technology is really proven,” said Rob Dayton, the city’s transportation planning and parking manager. “It’s something that’s used pretty universally in the parking world these days and it’s gotten really good in terms of the technology.” He told the News-Press the systems are a customer service enhancement, because out of 5 million tickets a year for the parking systems in Santa Barbara, 60% end up being complimentary. In addition, the Paseo Nuevo Mall parking garage already utilizes an ALPR system with mounted cameras. “Initially, it’s expensive, but labor is more expensive than the cameras over time,” Mr. Dayton said. “The downtown parking system has been slowly generating less and less revenue for a couple different reasons. One is we have less parkers downtown as the economic status of downtown has waned. The other thing is that the cost of running the parking business has gone up, particularly because of the minimum wage in California.” During the pandemic, the city’s Please see plates on A8

T r e e of t h e mon t h Holly Oak

Evergreen graces Santa Barbara streets and homes By DAVID GRESS SPECIAL TO THE NEWS-PRESS

T

he Holly Oak, a stately evergreen, was first introduced into California in 1858 and is now widely planted as a street or shade tree in Santa Barbara. In its native region around the Mediterranean Sea (Southern Europe and Northern Africa), it fills an ecological niche like that found on the Central Coast, making it perfectly adapted to our local climate and soils. In fact, the Holly Oak is often confused with our native Coast Live Oak, because there is a close resemblance between these two oak species. The Holly Oak offers many of the same desirable features of our native oak but, upon closer observation, has some distinctive differences that, surprisingly, can make this immigrant a preferable choice here for certain garden and landscape uses. Its primary relative merits are a slower growth rate, a smaller size, and some resistance to diseases and insects common to all oaks. The Holly Oak is a handsome medium- to large-sized evergreen tree, with a broad rounded crown. It develops a dense canopy, with branches initially growing upright and then turning gracefully pendulous with age. New shoots are covered in a downy gray felt. The bark is dark brown or black, fissured in small rectangles. A mature tree will reach 35 to 40 feet high with a spread of 30 to 40 feet. In favorable locations, an older tree can exceed 50 feet in height with a spread of more than 60 feet. The Holly Oak can live to a great age, reputedly 500 years or older! The attractive leaves (ovate in shape, 2 to 3 inches long and 1 inch wide) are leathery, dark-green and shiny on the top but gray and downy on the underside, and bear holly-like teeth along the leaf margins when young. Its leaf shape does generally resemble that of the common European Holly, resulting in two of its common names, “Holly Oak� and “Holm Oak� (Old Norse for “holly�). It is also known as “Evergreen Oak� because it does not lose its leaves in the fall. The Holly Oak’s botanical name is Quercus ilex. The genus name, Quercus, is the Latin name for oak trees. Its specific epithet, ilex, is the Latin genus name for holly, again referring to the holly-like shape of its leaves. It is “monoecious,� meaning a single tree bears both male and female flowers. In the spring, yellowish-green flowers appear — female flowers in clusters and male flowers on catkins (2 to 3 inches long). These attract butterflies. In the fall, copious numbers of capped acorns (up to 1 inch long) are produced in groups of 3 or more. The acorns appear and mature in the same season. The acorn cap is rough and can cover up to half of the acorn nut. Of course, our jays and squirrels find the acorns delicious — they work diligently to gather and “squirrel them away� for the winter. The nut meat is nutritious and quite

edible by humans, whether toasted or ground into flour. Freshly fallen acorns are a major food source for freerange pigs raised to produce gourmet ibĂŠrico cured ham in Spain and Portugal. When processed, the acorns can be used as a disinfectant in medicinal and wound treatments. Holly Oak’s wood is highly prized for its hardness and durability. It has been used for thousands of years — and is still being used — in constructing buildings, tools, vessels and wine casks. In Europe, large stands of Holly Oaks have been planted to create famous truffle orchards, called “truffières,â€? because truffles develop naturally in ectomycorrhizal association with the oak’s roots. A Holly Oak is easy to grow and, once established, is drought-tolerant. It can tolerate all types of soil, though it must be well drained. It should be planted in full sun and watered deeply in the dry season and during periods of drought. Once pruned during youth to form a single-trunked tree, it is low-maintenance. While Holly Oak appears to be more resistant than other oaks to diseases, it is a good idea to keep the area around the trunk of a mature tree rather dry. This is necessary because saturated soil will promote both “oak root fungusâ€? (Armillaria) and “root crown fungusâ€? (Phytophthora), ubiquitous soil-borne fungal diseases that can damage roots and trunk bases — and are often fatal to the tree. Like all evergreen oaks in our climate, Holly Oak is prone to being completely stripped of all its leaves — over the course of just a few days — by a horde of oak moth caterpillars with voracious appetites! Do not, in your despair, cut down your naked-looking tree. This defoliation will not significantly harm an otherwise healthy tree. In fact, it may provide some surprising benefits by removing old spent leaves and providing fertilizer. A healthy tree will bounce back quite soon enough with luxurious new foliage. Besides its use as a decorative tree on our streets and in our private gardens, Holly Oak can be used as a coastal windbreak or can be pruned to form a tall screening hedge. Holly Oaks can be seen along our streets in many locations in Santa Barbara. Several stand along Alamar Avenue in Oak Park, on Meigs Road above Cliff Drive, in the 900 block of West Carrillo Street, in the 500 block of Dolores Drive, on the 500 block of Richardo Avenue, on the 600 block of Juanita Avenue, on Louisa Avenue, on Sunset Drive and on Woodley Court. 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. Â

Dear Abby: Allow me to offer a tip for those men about to pop the “big question” to their girlfriends: Let your fiancee pick out the ring style she will be wearing for the rest of her life. Arrange with a jeweler to have a tray of rings in different styles in your price range. Then present a ring with the proposal with the understanding it can be exchanged. — Wise Southerner Dear Southerner: This is a subject that has been addressed in my column several times. A practical way to handle it is for the man to talk to the jeweler about what he can afford to spend beforehand, so the stones will be available to display to his fiancee, as well as a variety of settings from which she can choose. And, if none are to her liking, she might prefer the option of designing her own setting. Many brides do.

O

n Oct. 18, the Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara and Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara will host the 28th annual Cancer Center Walk/Run — but virtually this year. The fundraiser supports cancer research and patient supportive care programs at Ridley-Tree Cancer Center. The walk/run has raised $3,785,369 over the past 27 years and aims to raise $100,000 this year, and is more than halfway to its goal. Participants can complete a 5K

or 10K wherever they want, even their backyard, by Oct. 16. Then, they can upload their time online. A virtual ceremony will be held at 10 a.m., Oct. 18. There are three team awards for either being the largest group, the fastest or raising the most money. One individual is awarded the Julie Main Inspiration of Hope Award each year. Julie Main helped organize the walk/run from its inception and continues to impact the event 12 years after her passing. After the ceremony, awards will be announced on social

media for the most creative route, most colorful costume, the best “quarenteam” and the best social media presence. Registration is open until Oct. 17 and costs $40 for adults, $20 for children 12 and under. Participants who raise at least $100 in pledges receive free event registration, a car wash courtesy of Clean Wave Car Wash and a chance at the mystery grand prize. To register for the walk/run or learn more, visit: cfsb.org/ walkrun2020. — Annelise Hanshaw

any situation in which you find yourself. LIBRA — This is a good time to take a stand on an issue that you may have been vacillating about lately, Libra. People will lose confidence in you if you can’t seem to make up your mind. What they don’t realize is that you’ve been working overtime to process all the information. Now it’s time to express orally what you’ve discovered mentally. SCORPIO — This is a good time to take a stand on an issue that you may have been vacillating about lately, Libra. People will lose confidence in you if you can’t seem to make up your mind. What they don’t realize is that you’ve been working overtime to process all the information. Now it’s time to express orally what you’ve discovered mentally. SAGITTARIUS — Your reluctance to speak could get you in trouble today, Sagittarius. You may hesitate to share what you know for fear of what others might think. You should realize that you’re using this as an excuse to hide what’s really just selfishness. Share your knowledge with others and you will be amazed at the knowledge that comes back to you in return. Keep in mind that you may need to wait for it. CAPRICORN — There may be a great tension between you and someone older today, Capricorn. Perhaps there’s someone who’s adopting a sort of “parent knows best� personality that’s starting to annoy you. Take a breather. Realize that this person isn’t being critical or judgmental but just giving you advice. You should open your eyes and understand that this advice could be very useful. AQUARIUS — There’s apt to be a comfortable feeling about today that should make you feel quite secure and nurtured, Aquarius. Perhaps you’re feeling protected by a strong force, maybe an internal one, that’s reminding you that as long as you stay within the lines, everything will be fine. There’s a familiarity to things that will make it easy for you to navigate any rough waters. PISCES — You could feel like a rat in a maze today, Pisces. Walls and long, narrow corridors take you around corners and through doorways, yet there’s no indication that you’re going in the right direction. Instead of wandering aimlessly, stop and ask for help. You might not have noticed that if you look up, there are knowledgeable beings there who are willing to give you advice based on their lofty perspective.

HOROSCOPE

ARIES — Don’t get so stuck in your ways today that you insist on having the one true answer without really considering the options. You must be aware of a lot before you commit yourself one way or another. The people around you are apt to get annoyed with your narrow-mindedness, for this is how you will be viewed unless you stop and take a considered look at the whole picture. TAURUS — Quietly step into the background if things aren’t going the way you’d like, Taurus. Don’t try to stick your nose into someone else’s business, even if you think you know the right way to proceed. People probably have strong opinions, and they won’t be swayed in any direction. The best you can do is take care of yourself. You will probably find that this means you shouldn’t be seen or heard. GEMINI — You may have gotten yourself tangled up in a deep mental drama over a series of recent incidents, Gemini. Your mind may be working overtime in order to solve the riddles. It’s quite possible that the reality of the situation is that you’re simply making a big deal over nothing. Today is one of those days in which you will face the harsh reality that comes as a consequence of your over-the-top thinking. CANCER — You may feel as if your smile is unwelcome today, Cancer. It may seem to you like there’s some sort of gloom and doom to people’s attitudes that makes them unwilling to accept any sort of good news. Don’t let this stop you from maintaining your own cheerful state. It’s important that you not probe too deeply into the reasons behind other people’s behavior now. LEO — Keep careful track of things today, Leo, for you will find that the smallest detail will make the biggest difference. Don’t hesitate to go with your hunches when something simply doesn’t sound right. Stay focused and try not to get caught off guard when emotional issues come out of nowhere and disturb your thoughts. Trust yourself regardless of what’s going on around you. VIRGO — You may feel as if your hands are tied today and you’re faced with absolutely no options, Virgo. Don’t despair over a situation that seems insurmountable. Think of yourself as a terrific magician who can burst out of the strongest chains. You have tricks up your sleeve that can help you escape just about +*#!2 +1$)"$

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2020

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.

Coastal Housing Coalition holds annual conference By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Housing experts came together via Zoom on Friday to discuss statewide housing issues and how jurisdictions are pivoting from old ways of regulating design to using objective design standards for multi-unit residential development. The discussion was part of the Coastal Housing Coalition’s annual Santa Barbara Housing Conference, and included keynote speaker Dan Walters, a Californiabased journalist who has written more than 9,000 columns about the state and its politics, a workshop and a panel with Q&A. The workshop, titled “Objective Design Standards,â€? featured panelists Rosie Dyste, project planner for Santa Barbara; Alex Pujo, an architect for AIA; Dan Weber, another architect for Anacapa Architecture; and Jami Williams, principal of RRM Design. The discussion was moderated by Detty Peikert, AIA and principal at RRM Design. Then the hosts of the “Gimme Shelterâ€? podcast, which discusses big news every two weeks in housing policy, hosted panelists Monique LimĂłn, the California State Assembly member representing the 37th district, which includes more than half of Santa Barbara County, and Santa Barbara City Council member Meagan Harmon, who works on the City/County Affordable Housing Task Group and Home for Good. The hosts of “Gimme Shelter,â€? Liam Dillon, a Los Angeles Times staff writer covering housing affordability and neighborhood change, and Matt Levin, a data and housing reporter for CalMatters, asked how past housing policy has produced social inequalities, how COVID-19

661K jobs added in September The White House released the September jobs report on Friday, which showed that the U.S. economy added 661,000 jobs in September and unemployment dropped by 0.5% for the month. Since the COVID-19 pandemic led to widespread closures, the U.S. has gained 11.4 million jobs, recovering nearly 52% of the jobs lost in March and April due to the pandemic. Along with the jobs added, employment in July and August was revised upward by a combined 145,000, according to officials. The notable job gains include more than 318,000 in leisure and hospitality, more than 142,000 in retail trade, more than 89,000 in professional and business services, some 74,000 in transportation and warehousing, and more than 66,000 in manufacturing. This also includes 26,000 construction industry jobs, officials said. An estimated 68% of job gains over the past five months occurred in relatively low-wage sectors including retail, leisure & hospitality, and education & health services. As of Friday, the country’s

has impacted California’s housing goals and how local agencies have responded to the state legislature’s housing directives. “We’ve fallen short year after year for decades, and now we have this big housing crisis,â€? Ms. LimĂłn said. “It’s not just a building issue. It’s an issue of economic need because we know at least half of California renters are paying 30% or more of their wages for housing.â€? She stated she believes it’s important to remember that “it didn’t just come up in the last five yearsâ€? and that neither marketbased housing nor affordable housing alone solves the issue, but a combination of the two can. She also addressed singlefamily housing only zoning, saying it has a history of segregation and it needs to be dealt with. Ms. Harmon echoed Ms. LimĂłn’s remarks, and added that Santa Barbara specifically has to keep high fire zones in mind and that the city has a “really, incredibly wide gap between the very rich and the rest of us.â€? “We’ve got a near zero vacancy rate, intense competition for units and soaring costs,â€? Ms. Harmon said. “When you have all three of those factors come together, you have a recipe for disaster.â€?

None of the three patients are in critical care at this time. “I want to take this opportunity to again sincerely thank all the residents of Santa Barbara County who’ve done their part to meet this challenge. By diligently limiting contacts, practicing physical distancing, wearing masks and washing hands, the virus around us is declining. It’s working because we’re all doing the right things,� 2nd District Supervisor Gregg Hart said. “Our progress is unfortunately tenuous and fragile. The potential exists for cases to quickly spread if we will guard down. We must remain vigilant and committed to protecting each other.� Mr. Hart added that the county hopes to reach the orange tier by Halloween. In order to reach the orange tier, the county would need to have a case rate of less than 4.0 per 100,000 and a testing positivity rate less than 5%. Dr. Henning Ansorg, the county’s public health officer, also reminded the public to try to obtain a flu shot as soon as possible to try to avoid a “twin pandemic� and not overwhelm the healthcare system.

Fit for Life 805 sees success with online health and fitness platform By JORGE MERCADO

Alex Ramirez launched Fit for Life 805 in April thanks to a push from his clients and a desire to help them stay healthy during the pandemic.

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Physical trainers were thrown for a loop when gyms closed down in mid-March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Suddenly, people that were always there for others to help them improve their health were being told they couldn’t come near clients for the benefit of everyone’s health. Sitting at home for a few weeks, unsure of when gyms would reopen, Alex Ramirez finally decided to take things into his own hands. “The pandemic really forced my hand to try to figure out a way to keep my clients healthy and in shape and active and it made me contemplate trying to do this online,� Mr. Ramirez told the News-Press. The 38-year-old physical trainer did just that, launching Fit for Life 805 in April as an online health and fitness dumbbell training program. “There was a lot of doubt in the beginning because there was so much uncertainty at first, but once we started seeing things would be closed things aligned for me to try to take this forward,� Mr. Ramirez said, adding that he also started the business in part because his clients were antsy to workout and were unsure of wanting to go into a gym anyway. Since launching, Mr. Ramirez has seen his clientele base double in the past five months, providing both Zoom workouts and socially distance workouts twice a week. Depending on the needs of the client, Mr. Ramirez will adapt his schedule and offer one on one Zoom sessions along with the regular training classes with all of his clients. “Luckily for me, everything is online and I’m my own boss with this Fit for Life program. I get to run it how I want to see how it develops and kind of work with the demand of my clients and what they need,� he said. In fact, fulfilling the clients’ needs is his whole business model. Mr. Ramirez said the majority of his day is spent on his phone, texting or calling clients to see how they are doing. “My job is to help them figure out a plan so that they can get just one extra workout in or perhaps meal prep on a day that works best for them so that they can eat

healthier‌ It’s all about constant communication through text and email. And then from there, a lot of follow up if needed,â€? he said. While gyms are still closed, working out is still very much a necessity during the pandemic. Mr. Ramirez said it is one of the most vital things someone can do during a time where there isn’t a lot to do. “It’s a necessity. You need to have health and fitness in your lifeâ€? he said. “And it’s not just working out, it is eating right as well. They go hand in hand, nutrition is part of being healthy and strong‌ I’m not saying being fit and in shape is going to prevent you from catching COVID, but if you have a stronger immunity and a stronger respiratory system and may give you an improved fighting chance, so it is a necessity, now more than ever.â€? Inspiring his clients has been one of the tougher things to do during the pandemic, but Mr. Ramirez said he is up for the challenge. “It can be very challenging. At times you have people that are very internally highly motivated and some that aren’t but I just try to encourage them. Life is all about peaks and valleys. I can’t tell them to go around people, but I tell them, go outside, get some sunshine and just try to help them mentally. That is just as important as physical health, especially right now, so I am just there for them,â€? Mr. Ramirez said. Recently the county has made strides in trying to curb the novel coronavirus. This past Tuesday,

the county moved into the red tier, meaning that gyms are allowed to reopen at 10% capacity. While he is happy for the gyms, Mr. Ramirez said he is sticking through with his business model for the time being. He said being able to build up his own business has been a dream come true for him during this time. “I am committed to my decision of just doing what I’m doing online with the Zoom workouts and with outdoor training. Quite honestly, I don’t want to go back into a gym. I’m liking what I’m doing, I’m really enjoying this and I feel reinvigorated,� he said. Mr. Ramirez added that he believes online training is a viable option even after the pandemic is over. The reason being is that people are realizing that they can get stronger and healthier from their own home, no gym is required. For him, success for Fit for Life 805 also does not include money. While it’s a factor, Mr. Ramirez said the growth of the business only reinforced he is doing the right thing, both for himself and the health of others. “I made the right choice. The fear was losing everyone but luckily everyone has been happy,� Mr. Ramirez said. “I’ve been able to do and create home workouts that are engaging, creative, fun, and that makes my clients healthier and I know I have even better relationships with them now than I did when we were training out of the gym, and that means a lot.�

Jackson expresses hope president has mild case trumps

in which she called their COVID-19 diagnosis “serious and concerning� and wished them a quick recovery. Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, D-Santa Barbara, expressed hope that President Trump has a mild case of COVID-19, as well as concern for him being overweight and of advanced age. She remarked that the president’s positive COVID-19 test is unsurprising given how much he has interacted with other people and not worn a mask. “That being said, I certainly hope that he is able to make a quick recovery, and like most of the people, we’ll be watching with concern to see just how the virus affects him,� she said. She added, “Hopefully it’s clear to everyone now that nobody is impervious to this virus. It doesn’t care what your position is, it doesn’t care what your party affiliation is. “It is a pandemic that we have to take seriously.�

Thoughts and prayers for the president and first lady and optimism that they both will come through were echoed by Coalition of Local Agriculture and Business executive director Andy Caldwell. Mr. Caldwell, a local Republican running for Congress, said, “99.99% of the people who test positive for COVID-19 do not become seriously ill. If he had a lot more comorbidities, I’d be a lot more worried about it.� Mr. Caldwell, who is also a News-Press columnist, did acknowledge that the president is in his 70s and overweight, both factors that can lead to the virus more severely impacting a patient. He suspects the president’s diagnosis will make him behave more cautiously in the future. “That can actually be an underlying health condition, so I

Data from downtown lots will be dumped after 72 hours plates

Continued from Page A1 parking system lost $2.5 million. On top of that loss, Mr. Dayton said that the uncertainty of what happens after COVID-19 is another reason the city wants to implement these systems. “Some of the research shows that some people may not open their offices again and they’ll switch to an online format or platform for office employees, which could lower our customers even further,” he said. He said city staff wants to ensure the downtown parking system is able to pay for itself and be financially solvent. However, the issue of data collection and privacy comes into play with the license plate readers. The council discussed parkers’ private information protection at length during Tuesday’s meeting. “The policy the council proposed creates a firewall between the people who are officially responsible for the private data, which would be the downtown parking staff, and any kind of law enforcement,” Mr. Dayton said. “No law enforcement entity can come and say, ‘Hey, we want to come and look at who came in your lot.’ The policy says they can’t do that unless they have a court order to do that, and that would be a subpoena.” Members of the council also asked that the data be dumped after a certain amount of time. For downtown parking lots, the information will be dumped 72 hours after someone leaves

parkers’ privacy, and the council will conduct quarterly audits of the system. “We are very careful moving to automation in certain city operations,” she said. “When we can save substantial tax dollars, we will do that. In the case of parking lots, we do not want to raise rates or do away with free parking.” So what happens to the kiosketeers now that automation is replacing them? Mr. Dayton said their employment with the city is still safe. “The employees that are in the booths would move to other roles in downtown parking systems,” he said. “The whole transition is probably six months to a year, so as we have the equipment installed, tested and practiced, there will need to be people in the booth monitoring and helping the public understand how to use it and get them dialed in. “Kiosketeers are just amazing people. People have a really great experience with them,” he continued. “It’ll be difficult to see that culture leave the parking system because it’s been a really good thing for downtown Santa Barbara. The challenge is the financial solvency of the system.” email: gmccormick@newspress.

STONE, Louise

Louise Stone, a long-time resident of Santa Barbara, died in San Francisco on September 26, 2020 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s Disease. Louise Myra Brill was born to Sidney and Dorothy Brill in Brooklyn, New York on January 14, 1936. She attended Brooklyn public schools, including Erasmus Hall High School. Acquiring a love of baseball from her father, she was a lifelong Dodger fan - from Brooklyn to Los Angeles - and due to her love of singing, acting, and theater, Louise claimed to have seen every Broadway musical produced during her adolescent years in New York City. Louise entered Brooklyn College in 1953 to major in Political Science, where she met her future husband, Ray Stone, in an economics class. Within a few months the two concluded they were meant for each other and married in January 1956. Ray was also an usher at the Metropolitan Opera during this time, and arranged for Louise to see her first opera, Carmen, which led to her lifelong appreciation of opera. Louise and Ray next moved to Providence, Rhode Island in 1957 with their newborn daughter, Karen. After Ray received his graduate degree from Brown University, the family moved west to California, where their son Robert was born. After three years in the Los Angeles area, the family of four moved to Santa Barbara, where Louise was able to finish her bachelor’s degree at UCSB in 1967. All or part of the Stone family lived in Santa Barbara for the next 54 years. Always a lover of politics and current events, Louise became a member of the League of Women Voters, was active in Democratic party politics, and was an early member of the Santa Barbara Women’s Political Committee. During the 1990s, Louise was a member of the Santa Barbara County Grand Jury, was appointed by the Mayor to sit on a number of committees and panels, and was a dedicated volunteer at the Santa Barbara chapters of Planned Parenthood and Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic. She was also a member of the Humanist Society of Santa Barbara and of Vistas Lifelong Learning. Louise and Ray moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2017 to be near family. She is survived by Ray, Karen, and Robert, her grandchildren Kelly Walker and Ryan Eshoff, and great-grandchildren Clara Walker, and Lucy Walker.

GROSS, William “Bill” Ray

December 21, 1953 – September 4, 2020 William “Bill” Gross passed away on September 4, 2020. He was born and raised in Santa Barbara, California and attended Harding Elementary, La Cumbre Junior High, and graduated from Santa Barbara High School in 1972. Bill had been employed by Air Liquide and Praxair in Santa Barbara and Ventura Steel in Ventura, the company from which he recently retired. Bill’s most treasured lifetime memories were those of growing up in Santa Barbara. While he moved to Ventura several years ago, one of his favorite pastimes was to return to the old Westside neighborhoods where he grew up, sometimes stopping in to visit long-time friends. During these trips he would also bicycle the Santa Barbara area coastline. In earlier years, he enjoyed dirt biking in the back country of Santa Barbara. A die hard Dodgers fan, Bill’s passion was baseball. He played, listened to, and watched baseball his entire life. From a young age Bill had a great appreciation for music. A member of the Bonnie Langley Youth Band where he played the trumpet, his interest in music continued. He loved 60’s and 70’s music and enjoyed many hours listening to his favorite songs through his extensive sound system. Bill was born to the late Martha Lou Ruddick Gross and Robert “Bob” Carl Gross on December 21, 1953 in Santa Barbara, California. He is survived by his siblings Kathy Gross Jones of Raleigh, North Carolina, Brenda Gross Jehle of Ojai, California, brotherin-law, Bob Jehle, four nieces, and two great-nieces. A memorial service for Bill will be held in Santa Barbara at a later date.
