Real estate still strong Despite economy, Santa Barbara agents are busier than ever By CHRSITIAN WHITTLE NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

When Santa Barbara County was sent into lockdown in midMarch to combat the growing coronavirus crisis, the residential real estate industry held its breath and expected the worst. Buyers and sellers faced serious fears as jobs were in jeopardy and the prospect of opening one’s house to strangers kept homes off the market. “Basically in both directions buyers and sellers backed off. It became a real concern,” said Village Properties owner Renee Grubb. Now it appears those fears have been alleviated. Over the last two months, real estate activity has remained strong in the Santa Barbara area, and agents are busier than ever despite the transition to virtual showings. “I would have to say at least for now things are getting better. When I go on my calls for the California Association of Realtors, and they report on all of California, it’s looking better everywhere,” Ms. Grubb told the News-Press. “I chose not to lay off any of my staff, and I feel fortunate that

now the market is doing better and so my losses haven’t been as great as I thought they were going to be, which makes me happy of course.” At the end of March and going into April, the forecast was bleak. Village Properties saw a significant dip in closings and properties fall out of escrow. Compared to 2019, they saw a 50% decline in business. “Things started to pick up around mid-April. I think more people had gotten used to what was going on. We’ve been doing this for a month,” said Ms. Grubb. “You never know until they close of course, but there are showings of high-end properties three, four, five times a week now. That kind of high-end activity actually started maybe two and a half to three weeks ago to where my agents who sell high end have been very busy.” While the flurry of activity has been surprising, some agents, like Cristal Clark, did not even see business slow. “For me there was no lag time,” said Ms. Clark. “It was constant. I mean long hours working. It’s been nonstop.” Ms. Clark was concerned at first, but soon saw a lot of interest from buyers from Los Angeles

With the local Santa Barbara community slowly opening up, more and more local heads are taking a peek outside to try to regain a sense of normalcy. On Saturday, Santa Barbarans got to hang out at a few more spots that opened up as some shops at the Paseo Nuevo outdoor mall opened for the first time since being shut down in mid-March due to the pandemic. One of the shops was

Evangelina Boutique, which saw a couple customers go in and out. Despite not wanting to be interviewed, the cashier at the store looked pleased to be helping customers and having the shop open. The majority of the shops open, however, were in the food department with places such as ParadICE, 805 Boba, Sushi Tyme and other locations open for business.

and San Francisco, especially in the under $10 million market. “I think people want to be here. They see the beauty that Montecito and Santa Barbara has to offer and they’re not thinking about ‘I’d love to live there in the future’. They’re really putting it into place now, be it primary homes or secondary homes,” said Ms. Clark. Kyle Kemp, district manager for Berkshire Hathaway, believes the slowing of activity in the first week was in part due to the uncertainty around using virtual tools to conduct business. Fortunately, many of his agents were already well versed in digital showings, and those that weren’t quickly caught on. Although they were down 60% in sales in the first week, Mr. Kemp said his agents have rallied and are now only 20% behind, with a 206% increase in property inquiries in California compared to 2019. “Once that stopped everybody started to feel comfortable, started to get their feet on the ground, realized Santa Barbara wasn’t going anywhere, the sun wasn’t going away, and all of a sudden people started coming back to real estate again,” said Mr. Kemp. Mr. Kemp said most buyers

seem to be in the technology sector, interested in getting out of Los Angeles and San Francisco and into the open spaces of Santa Barbara and Montecito. “Those buyers don’t seem to be affected. In fact, a lot of them are telling us their businesses are doing better. We’re hit by the service industry for sure, because Santa Barbara is such an escape for everybody, so we tend to have a lot of hospitality, but that hasn’t for some reason affected the real estate,” said Mr. Kemp. While the majority of interest and sales have been from California, agents are speaking to a lot of buyers from around the country looking to purchase homes in the area as soon as it is safe to travel. “There are a lot of clients who want to live here, but they live somewhere where they have to take a plane ride, so they’re just kind of waiting until their areas open up more and they feel comfortable coming. I have a lot of clients coming next month in June from different parts of the U.S.,” said Ms. Clark. “We would be selling houses all day long if people could get here physically,” said Mr. Kemp. “They can do as much as they Please see real estate on A2

‘It’s really good to keep the spirit of the festival alive’

The tools of the trade at the I Madonnari Festival.

Continued from Page A1 way the festival would go on. “And then different people at different points started telling me ‘Well, what if we do this online?’� Ms. Koury recalled. Just like that, the idea was sparked. And, now weeks later, during Memorial Day weekend, the I Madonnari Festival is alive and thriving, with artists drawing with chalk pastels on individual driveways for the festival’s sponsors. “I just keep saying it’s like throwing a perfect deck of cards into the air,� Ms. Koury said with a laugh. “But I think it’s really good to keep the spirit of the festival alive, because I know that the community appreciates it so much. And I was thrilled that the artists all wanted to do it.� Ms. Koury was also particularly happy to receive the continued support from the festival’s major sponsors including the Loreto Plaza Shopping Center, the Santa Barbara Bowl, Yardi, Daniel & Mandy Hochman, Community West Bank, NS Ceramic, Montecito Bank & Trust, Village Properties Realtors, V3 Printing, and Weidl Construction. “They are the reason this festival is possible. It’s amazing, and we also continue to have a good number of street painting

“It allows you to focus on something other than the pandemic and hopefully the image will excite people.� Ann Hefferman, artist

sponsors,� Ms. Koury said. One of the paintings currently being made is a 12-foot x 50foot rendering of Thomas Hart Benton’s 1947 allegorical painting, “Achelous and Hercules.� The three artists are Sharyn Chan, Ann Hefferman and Jay Schwartz. Ms. Hefferman said that painting the classic work has been something that they have “had in mind� but with the event usually taking place at the Santa Barbara Mission, there was never enough space to draw the full rendering. “Funny enough, the pandemic gave us the opportunity to draw it in full size,� Ms. Hefferman said. Ms. Hefferman said she misses the camaraderie the festival draws every year and the human interaction involved, but is happy to just have the opportunity to be drawing during such a tough time. “It allows you to focus on something other than the pandemic and hopefully the image will excite people,� Ms. Hefferman

said. While all three artists might feel tired and sore at the end of the day, Ms. Hefferman said it’s all worth it because “these are my friends, all of them, and it’s really nice to hang out with them.� All three have been artists for well over a decade and are friends, as Ms. Hefferman said, making working on a project this size that much more fun. “Working with my friends is really the most exciting part for me,� Ms. Chan said. “I do a lot of stuff on my own, but whenever we do a collaborative, it has always been the funnest thing. You just feel much more connected working in a group.� The three friends have been working on the painting since Thursday and continue to make daily progress, a very satisfying feeling.

“It’s pretty exciting because the very first day when we first laid out the square, you’re kind of standing at one end like ‘wow, that is a big space,’� Ms. Chan said. “You’re thinking ‘oh, we have to fill this entire space’ but then now on day three, it’s like ‘wow we got a lot done.’ It’s pretty exciting seeing it all kind of just happen.� In fact, standing up on the roof of their unannounced location, seeing the painting come together every day has been the best part for Ms. Chan and for the rest of the group. For Mr. Schwartz, he is very happy with the progress of the painting thus far. “It’s a good project and I think we’re doing a good job and I am pretty proud of where we’re at and how it all looks. I think it’s going well,� Mr. Shwartz said. Each artist is working on an

individual part of the painting and Mr. Shwartz said it really just came naturally to the group of who would be doing what parts. “And we are all trading off too. Sharyn will do some figures, I will do some leaves, Ann will do what she does and in the end it will all come together to be one big piece,� he said. Mr. Schwartz admitted that the painting could be very challenging because of how large it is and how detailed it is, but said that overall it has just been a great time. It also requires a great deal of patience. “I’m kind of happy with the process and less focused on the product. I like to be out here for five days, getting to do what we do and like Ann said, taking our mind off of what’s going on and being able to focus on something and not be locked in a house,� Mr. Schwartz said.

The painting will be finished on May 25 and the updates to the painting can be seen daily online at https://ccp.sbceo.org/imadonnari/welcome. Other paintings for the I Madonnari Festival will also be posted to the website. “It’s just beautiful to see artists come together and work so hard and so carefully and consistently through three days or more to create these beautiful drawings that will fade with the weather. That’s what I love about it, it’s the creative process, the concentration, the attention,� Ms. Koury said. “There’s this kind of atmosphere that you don’t experience anywhere else, where people are creating on the ground and people are watching them do this.� email: jmercado@newspress.com

Alice Keck Park’s legacy Santa Barbara site remains popular with visitors and animals

T

urtles, ducks and people agree on one thing. They all love Alice Keck Park Memorial Garden. The Santa Barbara park consists of an entire city block, bounded by Santa Barbara, Micheltorena, Garden and Arrellaga Streets. The property was previously the site of artist Albert Herter’s El Mirasol Hotel, which was torn down in the 1960s. It was purchased and donated to the city in 1975. The anonymous gift included funds for the land’s conversion into gardens and an endowment for their maintenance. The donor’s identity wasn’t known until her death. It was Alice Keck Park (1918–1977). The city of Santa Barbara dedicated the gardens in 1980 and named them in Ms. Park’s honor. Visitors love to explore the park, its walkways and paths, and its special pond. It’s stocked with koi and turtles, who call Alice Keck Park Memorial Garden their home. RAFAEL MALDONADO NEWS-PRESS PHOTOS

THOMPSON, Margaret Marie Luth

Margaret Marie Luth Thompson passed away peacefully on Monday, May 11th, 2020 at Serenity House in Santa Barbara. At 93 years young, she lived a long and beautiful life, filled with love. Margaret was born to Opal and August Luth on November 3, 1926 in Davenport, Iowa and grew up in Muscatine, Iowa. She met the love of her life Paul Thompson while playing baseball in the alley. They fell in love and were married on Christmas Eve in 1944 in Las Vegas, Nevada and had 6 children Nancy, Randy, Sally, Patsy, Cindy and Peggy. After relocating to Santa Barbara in 1965 they successfully operated Santa Barbara Screen & Shade until 2009. They were hands-on loving parents to their 6 children and lived a very active life playing in bowling leagues for decades, listening to big band music, gardening and traveling. Family came first and was everything to her and she was everything to her family. She organized numerous family gatherings throughout the years. They also shared a love for playing cards, especially pinochle and rummy with their grandkids. She was affectionately known as Grandma Peach, named by her first granddaughter Allegra because they picked peaches and made peach ice cream together. “Grandma Peach” will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by her 9 grandchildren, Allegra, Reyna, Solana, Tracy, Lianna, Ryan, Rene, Lisa and Evan and her 7 great-grandchildren Ciela, Kaliyah, Serena, Paloma, Izabella, Santino and Zaira, as well as her 2 great-great grandchildren, Amarina and Isaiah. She is preceded in death by her husband Paul and daughter Cindy. She is survived by twin sisters Deloris Jolley and Dorothy Luth Osbon as well as numerous nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly. We will all miss her but find great comfort that she is now reunited in heaven with her beloved husband Paul, daughter Cindy and many loved ones. Heaven gained one of the finest angels on earth. A small private graveside service was held for immediately family. In the future when gatherings are allowed, we will have a mass and celebration of life for her extended family and friends. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to Visiting Nurse Association or St. Raphael’s Church. The family would also like to thank Pueblo Del Rey for their personal touch in handling funeral arrangements.

BARTLETT, Margaret Jane 3/25/1921 – 2/18/2020

A very special person who gave so much to our lives. Mom possessed a quiet elegance that she brought to our family and had a way of making people around her feel warm and comfortable. She was the focal point of our family that kept us together. Born in Moline, Illinois to Katheryn and Harry Patterson, raised in Eagle Rock, California. She began nursing school at Queen of Angels in Los Angeles and finished at Knapp school of nursing in Santa Barbara in 1943. Married Judson Bartlett in 1944 and together they ran a successful business, had four children and built a beautiful home on the Santa Barbara Riviera overlooking the city and ocean. Mom embraced Santa Barbara participating in the annual Fiesta events taking the kids to the parades and making enchiladas now a family recipe. After Dad passed away in 1961, with four children to raise ages 15, 14, 12 and 9, Mom returned to nursing at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. A strong, gentle and caring force she supported us all encouraging whatever we pursued. She worked in the newborn nursery at Cottage as a staff nurse becoming head nurse of that department retiring at age 90 in 2011. She lived independently on her own, becoming computer savvy to follow her grandchildren and great-grandchildren on Facebook. The Goleta library was her favorite source for the many biographies she liked to read. Pre-deceased by the oldest of her children Nancy Bartlett-Eggers in 1975. Survived by 3 children Lynn Bartlett Meyer of Portland, Oregon, Robert Bartlett of Santa Barbara, James Bartlett of Goleta, 4 grandchildren, 4 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great grandchildren. I know our personal memories of her will be a source of strength and a blessing to all that knew her.

BLAKEY, Ernest

Dr. Ernest Blakey, 97, a long-time Santa Barbara resident and former surgeon at Sansum Clinic, died at home on May 12th. An All-American basketball player at Brown University and a career medical officer in the Navy with service in WWII and the Korean War, he also, along with his late wife, Peggy, a former Navy nurse, did a wonderful job raising seven kids. A Red Sox fan of long standing, as well as being an exceptional cook, he was also an avid golfer, in his prime sporting a 3-handicap at Montecito CC, and from age 66 to 91 shooting his age or better every year. And, too, he made several trips to play historic courses in Scotland and Ireland, always enjoying fair weather, which he attributed to taking along his ‘lucky umbrella.’ He was known to all as an easygoing fellow with a lively wit, once describing one daughter’s initial efforts at making angel food cake as ‘being just thick enough to slip into the catcher’s mitt to take the sting out of the pitch.’ He is survived by his 7 children, 11 grandkids, and 14 great grandkids. He had a good run, but it’s still so terribly sad, and he will be deeply missed by many.

POSSO, Elisa Buenaventura

Elisa Buenaventura Posso was born on March 18, 1931 in Santander de Quilichao, Cauca, Colombia. She was the 7th child of 8 children born to Manuel Maria Buenaventura and Elisa Posso de Buenaventura.

HELLER, Gerhard

Gerhard Heller, the youngest son of Ludwig Heller and Magdalene Fischer, was born in the small farming village of Weilersbach, Wuerttemberg, Germany November 21, 1929 and died in his home in Santa Barbara, California on May 12, 2020. Gerhard studied horticulture in Germany and Switzerland to become a Master Gardener. Then at age 24 he courageously followed his spirit of adventure and immigrated to the United States. He spoke fondly of his home and family growing up, but said he never regretted the move. Gerhard lived the American Dream…he built a beautiful life in Santa Barbara, California where his family was his pride and joy. He was either working hard to provide for them or spending treasured quality time with them. His significant desire was for his children to have opportunities for a better life. He succeeded by using his education and dedication to cultivate the soil and make surroundings beautiful, both at home and for his clients. After retiring twenty years ago, he cared for his wife until he was plagued with illness himself. He was fortunate to have a wonderful group of caregivers who lovingly supported and cared for him to the end. He will be missed, but his legacy will live on in the hearts of family and friends who were privileged to know and love him. He is survived by his brother Walter Heller, his wife, Brunhilde born Lehr; his son Gerhard L. Heller, wife Mary, and their daughter Daniella; his daughter Susanne Skabelund, husband Todd, and their children Dane, Zachary, Kirsten and Kari; and his daughter Deanna Edwards, husband Sam, and their children Tenaya and Bryce, as well as nine great-grandchildren.

She was his biggest cheerleader, there always cheering him on for all his sports and especially loved watching him bowl. She is survived by her daughter, Melanie (Tilly) Lane, son, Brett Tilly; grandson, Chad Lane; and granddaughter, Brooke Tilly. Our mother was treasured by all who met her and filled many roles in everyone’s heart. Madalynne was always a good friend and listener. She could brightened the darkest days.

LOVE, Donald, R., Sr. December 5, 1933 – May 13, 2020

Don Love, Sr. passed away on Wednesday May 13th at Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California. Don was born on December 5, 1933 and raised in Atwater, California. He attended Marshall High School. After High School, Don attended the University of Southern California, graduating in 1955 with a bachelor’s degree in Insurance. He was also active in the Delta Chi fraternity and remained connected to his fraternity brothers throughout his life. The same year, Don married the love of his life and lifelong partner, Joyce Arlene (Mason) Love. Their marriage spanned 65 years and produced 4 children, 10 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. Don and Joyce moved to the Santa Ynez Valley in 1976. Their children are: Donald R. Love, Jr (May 18, 1956 – October 30, 2011) and his wife Debra, Michael J. Love and his wife Kimberley, John C. (“Joe”) Love and his wife Linda and Susan M. (Love) Erickson and her husband Lonnie. Don had a deep devotion to his Catholic faith, the Old Mission Santa Ines, the Capuchin Franciscan Padres and the Sacred Heart Sisters. He and Joyce attended Mass and a Rosary service every day. Don was a pioneer in the life insurance brokerage business. He started in 1955 with The Aetna then Prudential as a debit agent. In 1965 he opened the first life insurance brokerage office for Sovereign Life in Los Angeles. In 1976, he moved his agency to Santa Barbara, Ca, later to Los Olivos, Ca. His children will never forget and are forever blessed with the wonderful childhood they had, full of love and laughter. We will always remember our family vacations, camping, fishing or just floating down a river. These family times made us the loving family we are today. Don was loved and will be missed by many, but his legacy will continue for generations to come. In lieu of flowers, consider donating to Fr. Peter’s Scholarship Fund (PO Box 618, Solvang, Ca 93464) or Sacred Heart Sisters (1760 Mission Drive, Solvang, Ca 93463) A funeral service will be announced at a later date.

May 22, 1932 — May 9, 2020 Mary Ayala Ranson was born to Angel Ayala and Nellie (Pico Romero) Ayala in Ventura California. A descendant of one of the soldiers who helped to found the Santa Barbara Presidio in 1751, she was proud of her early California heritage. Dry farmers in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties, the Ayala family moved frequently in order to be near their crops. Mom tagged after her Mother in the fields, and helped cook meals for the work crew. At night, the two retired to an enclosure made of hay bales, then snuggled into blankets and fell asleep under the stars. In the 1930’s the family settled in Carpinteria, where Mom attended grade school and high school. As a kid, she hung out at the beach with friends and worked at the packing house sorting lemons. Mom had a knack for drawing, and filled a notebook with pencil sketches of Hollywood starlets, and a few drawings of family and friends. In high school, Mom met Luis Goena. They married in 1949 and had six children. Most of their married life was spent at the Polo Fields, where Louie was Caretaker. Mom liked to sew, and made most of her daughters’ childhood clothing. She cooked, cleaned, and canned foods from the garden, hosted fun birthday parties, and stenciled snowflakes on the windows at Christmas time. When it rained she played records and gave the kids pots and pans to bang on while marching through the house, which was hung with the laundry that had been pulled indoors out of the rain. She was a patient woman. When her marriage ended, Mom and her children moved to the outer reaches of Santa Barbara, which at that time felt a hundred miles away from family and friends in Carpinteria. Mom went to work at Applied Magnetics, then Delco. She became a highly skilled solderer and contributed to the building of Lunar Rovers. Working full time and being a single Mom, raising six young children was not an easy thing to do. Mom cooked us breakfast before leaving for work and made dinner every night. She kept our clothes clean and the house and the yard tidy. And she did it gracefully. In the 1970’s while on an extended visit with her daughter, Cecilia, in Colorado, Mom met Robert LeMoyne Ranson on a Friday night, at a country dance place in Colorado Springs. After their first dance Bob was smitten. Less than a year later Mom and Bob were married and they began their happy, thirty-year marriage in Pueblo, Bob’s hometown. Bob was a hardworking tire store manager, and Mom took care of the house. She wallpapered, painted, shoveled snow, made curtains and tablecloths, and every year grew huge patches of Cosmos along their sidewalks. Mom joined the YMCA where she met a great group of ladies, with whom she became fast friends. They named themselves The Penguins. They swam, hit the casino in Cripple Creek, had lunch together and celebrated each other’s birthdays. In 2004 Bob left the tire business and the two retired in Santa Paula, Ca, a right-size town, with wide streets and treelined sidewalks. Four years later Bob passed away. To be close to her children, Mom moved to Santa Barbara. She spent her last twelve years at Villa Caridad, where she attended the morning rosary, lunches and various other happenings, completed the daily crossword puzzle, listened to Coast to Coast on the radio every night, researched her genealogy in the computer lab, and enjoyed visits from family and lunches out. Mom counted herself lucky to become close friends with her neighbor Mary Castaneda, who looked in on Mom every day. Mom died peacefully of natural causes, thirteen days short of her 88th birthday. Predeceased by her parents and three brothers, Gene, Bill, and Eddie, and her granddaughter Rosalind Adams, left to cherish her memory are her children, Cecilia (Adams) Berry, Linda Goena Caldwell, Cynthia Goena, David Goena, Chris (Diane Bury) Goena, Mark (Linda Noel) Goena, and daughter in law Jill (Rob) Palmer. Grandchildren Jake (Mandy) Goena, Vivian Goena, Damien Pearson, Marisa (Garrett) Gamache, Calisto Caldwell, Alex Goena, Louie Caldwell and Ana Goena. Great-grandchildren McKayla, Calise, and Mila Rose Goena, and Juniper and Owen Gamache. Cousin Carmie Ryan, sisters-in-law Dolores Ayala, Virginia Ayala, and Virginia Tryon, and many beloved nieces and nephews. Thank you to Dr. Omlid and the staff at Cliff View Terrace and Mission Terrace, where Mom spent the last few months of her life. A private burial took place on May 14th at the Carpinteria Cemetery. A celebration of Mom’s life will be planned for a future date. Welch-Ryce-Haider Mortuary, Downtown Santa Barbara.

Girls Inc. of Carpinteria prepares to reopen campus By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

S

uddenly a volcano erupts in Carpinteria. Or it’s time for a countdown. 10, 9, 8, 7 … a rocket blasts off! Those are the kinds of adventures that await girls eager to prove they’re strong, smart and bold. That’s the slogan of Girls Inc., which plans to reopen its Carpinteria campus June 1 on a half-day basis for ages 5 through 12. And Girls Inc. of Carpinteria hopes to have its full reopening July 6, Executive Director Jamie Collins told the News-Press. For now, the Carpinteria campus will have a partial reopening. Mrs. Collins said the initial enrollment will consist of eight young girls. “We have built our facility to handle 20 girls at a time,” she said. “As Santa Barbara County continues to reopen, we’re reevaluating on a daily basis to see what our capacity will look like after the first couple weeks of June.” She said the girls and their parents are excited about the reopening and that it will help families during the pandemic. “A lot of our parents are essential workers, so they’ve been working full time. It’s been the girls’ teenage brother or sister or uncles watching them at home.” COURTESY PHOTOS Mrs. Collins said the students’ adventures on the campus Franchesca Champlin works on her schoolwork with support from Girls Inc. of Carpinteria staff.

SOLUTION ON D3

HOROSCOPE Horoscope.com Sunday, May 24, 20206 ARIES — There are some interesting strands playing out this week as the sun moves into Gemini on Wednesday to light up your social sector. TAURUS — The sun moves through the last degrees of your sign and eases into Gemini and your money zone this week. This is a chance to take stock of your finances and shine a light on any areas that need special attention. GEMINI — This week is a good time to resolve any issues that are preventing you from moving forward. In fact, there might be times when you’re not sure what you want. CANCER — Something within you is all set for change, and the coming days could see you taking a positive step in this direction. If you need the help of a life coach or teacher, this is one of the best times to get it. LEO — If you’ve been putting up with someone and not really enjoying their company very much, you might decide it’s time to turn over a new leaf and move on. VIRGO — This week things may not be quite as they seem. You need to look carefully at the paperwork concerning any new deals or projects and certainly read between the lines. LIBRA — If the past few weeks have been intense, this week things could become a little easier from midweek onward as the sun moves into Gemini and a lighter and more upbeat zone. SCORPIO — This week may be an excellent opportunity to connect with a counselor, therapist, or life coach. Doing so could kick-start a phase of tying up loose ends, releasing the past, and embracing bold opportunities. SAGITTARIUS — This week could see you initiating discussions with this person with a view toward understanding their motives. It’s probably best not to commit to a deeper partnership or relationship, CAPRICORN — this is a good week to rethink any agreements, especially those that have become a bit of a bind. The promises you made a while back may no longer suit you. AQUARIUS — On the romantic front this week, it would help to consider the cost of a developing romance, especially if someone seems to take more than they give. PISCES — This week can be a great time for entertaining. You might feel excited at the thought of a reunion, whether it’s a large gathering or an intimate get-together.

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 you off. 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.

Innocent husband bears the brunt

D

ear Abby: I’m a 55-year-old guy stranded in a tough marriage situation. My wife has had a serious falling-out with her father. After his wife of more than 50 years passed away, he immediately took up with an old flame and dumped his family in favor of his new lady’s family. My wife now treats me like garbage. Apparently, “all men are dogs,� and if she passes away, I “obviously already have a girl lined up to take her place,� and, oh yeah, I plan to abandon my children in favor of the new woman’s family. I’m being painted with a very broad brush, Abigail and it is Van Buren destroying our relationship. My wife is angry and bitter all the time, and I feel abandoned. I love her dearly and don’t know what to do next, although I am thinking of punching out her father. Any thoughts are appreciated. — Stranded in California Dear Stranded: Your wife is now an “orphan.� She’s hurt, angry, and misdirecting her anger at her father onto you. Of course it is unfair to you. She needs counseling NOW, before she compounds her pain by destroying her marriage to you. Be smart and insist upon it. Dear Abby: I’m a fifth-grader, and I’d like to know something important to girls my age. I want to know how to get a guy to be my boyfriend and the steps to getting him. It’s hard for me to get a boyfriend. I know what you’re going to say — I’m too young for boys. But if I am, I would like this information for future reference. I have tried other things. Nothing worked, and basically, you’re my last hope. — Planning Ahead in Bay City, Texas Dear Planning Ahead: OK, let’s review the basics. Are you neat and clean in your appearance? Are you fun to be around and liked by your classmates of both genders? Do you smile and say hello and show an interest? Basically, the qualities that attract other girls are the same ones that will make boys pay attention. But there’s an important point to keep in mind, and it’s that while you may be developing an interest in boys, many of them may not be mature enough to have developed an interest in girls yet, so be patient. Focus on your studies, become involved in activities you enjoy, and things will happen naturally. Dear Abby: Recently, a waiter spilled the dinner he was carrying for another diner all over my coat. This is not the first time something like this has happened to me or someone I was dining with. What is the proper thing for a restaurant to do in a situation like this? Offer me a free meal to cover the cost of getting my coat dry-cleaned? — Annoyed in Australia Dear Annoyed: The very least you should receive is an apology. If the restaurant is Class A, the manager should come to your table, apologize and instruct you to send or bring the bill for dry cleaning your garment to him or her so the establishment can pay for it. Offering to treat you to dessert would also be good public relations, but expecting to be treated to dinner is excessive. 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. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Minimalist wants girlfriend to unclutter her home

D

ear Carolyn: I’ve been dating “Emma� for six months. It’s not serious yet but I can see us heading that way. We’re very compatible in most ways, except that Emma has way too much stuff. Her place isn’t messy and she’s not a hoarder, but she has several bookshelves just loaded with books. It’s got to be hundreds and they’re nothing special, just old paperbacks. She collects art glass, and it’s on her coffee table, hanging in her windows and on those already overloaded bookshelves. She has dozens of wall hangings, too, and her sofa is piled with throws, her floor with floor pillows, everywhere you look there’s “stuff.� I was once like her but learned how freeing it is to get rid of the extraneous junk. Now I’m very much a minimalist and could never live in a jumble like that again. I suggested Kon-Mari and gave her the book, but she hasn’t done anything about it. I know how hard it is to start but I also know how much happier and more carefree she would be if she’d only get rid of the junk. Also, we’ve talked about our relationship progressing and moving in together, but this is close to a showstopper for me. Should I make this clear to her? I’m wary of coming off as controlling but I also want to be honest. — Trying to Share the Magic of Tidying Up Trying to Share the Magic of Tidying Up: No, you don’t “know how much happier and more carefree she would be if she’d only get rid of the junk.� You know YOU were much happier and more carefree. But she might take great comfort in her booky, glassy, pillowy nest. And you don’t get to tell her (or anyone else) how she feels. You’re wary of “coming off as� controlling,

TONIGHT

and the way to prevent that is to not be controlling. The way to not be controlling is to recognize the way you feel about a certain experience represents you and only you. And so you can’t project your feelings/experience onto anyone else, much less plan or decide things for others based on your projections. They feel what they feel, their choice. It’s your prerogative both to be a minimalist and to decide you can’t live with a maximalist. You just need to stay on your side of the line in expressing this: Say to her — once! — that you used to collect things, and won’t go back to clutter. She can do with that information what she will. Stop the ex-smoker proselytizing. A lot of happy life partners keep separate, even side-by-side homes, by the way. Readers’ thoughts: — Friend, if “bookshelves loaded with books� are a dealbreaker for you, then you and Emma are in fact not all that compatible. — You get to set your priorities, not hers. — My books aren’t “junk,� they are my memories. “Trying� is projecting SO MUCH on “Emma,� it’s insulting. — Wow, Emma’s house sounds like a place I would love to hang out — and Emma’s partner sounds like the kind of person I avoid: people who lecture me on how to improve myself and give me homework to help me change, rather than people who appreciate my good points and support me in being myself. Email Carolyn at tellme@washpost.com or chat with her online at 9 a.m. each Friday at www. washingtonpost.com.

gUEST OPINION

Mommy took our lollipops

ahm Emanuel, Obama’s former chief of staff, is famous for advising Democrats to never “let a crisis go to waste.” That is, the Democratic Party’s play book posits that, in desperate times, they should put forth measures that take advantage of emergency situations. Lest you think this was a one-off comment, allow me to take you back to 2003, when Hannah Beth Jackson and a few of her scurrilous colleagues in the Legislature inadvertently broadcast a private meeting over a live microphone throughout the Capitol building. The discussion had to do with a budget impasse in the middle of a crisis. The object of the discussion? As the Los Angeles Times reported on July 22, 2003, “Democrats Discussed Extending Budget Crisis.” The story began, “11 Assembly Democrats debated prolonging California’s budget crisis to further their political goals.” Read that again slowly. The Dems wanted to “prolong a crisis to further their political goals.” Assemblywoman Jackie Goldberg, for her part, wanted to

“dramatize the consequences of Speaking of Assembly member the crisis”. Lorena Gonzalez, she was the Fast forward to 2020. Nothing sponsor of a bill, AB5, that much has changed, except eliminated upwards of one million nowadays, Democrat politicians independent contractor jobs in the are so brazen, and their core state of California. Nationwide, an supporters are so estimated 40% of workers obliging, that they no are engaged in the gig longer need to hide economy, representing their contemptuous $1 trillion in economic exploitation of crises. activity.

the temerity to say that the people who supported the repeal were simply mad because “we took away your lollipops.” Actually, no, mommy. What the CA legislature took away was the ability to pay for food, rent, car payments and health insurance. In the larger scheme of things, as Gavin Newsom admitted, this virus is giving his party the opportunity to further its political agenda. Thus far, that agenda includes such things as statewide rent control, eviction prohibitions, universal basic income, decarceration, in addition to setting the stage to raise taxes by way of eliminating Prop 13 benefits for commercial properties. Moreover, he is hoping, with the help of his Aunt Nancy Pelosi, to leverage the financial impacts of the overwrought shutdown he himself has imposed upon us, into a federal bailout of historical proportions. Heaven help us. Andy Caldwell is the executive director of COLAB and the host of The Andy Caldwell Show weekdays from 3-5 p.m. on NewsPress Radio AM 1290.

letters to the news-press Santa Barbara needs leadership

S

anta Barbara politicians sat on their hands. Now businesses have paid the ultimate price. For the last 10 years, I’ve been very vocal with my frustration at the city’s inability to be pro-local business. The endless studies, the revolving door at the Downtown Organization, the branding with Amazon, the insane permitting process, just the inability to take any real action or try any ideas. Meeting after meeting, nothing moves forward or gets done. The two studies cost over $100,000 and nothing useful was implemented from either of them. Now, directly because the city has not set local business up for success, we are struggling more than we should have during this crisis. Most of us are hanging on. But let’s be clear. When the PPP and SBA loans run out in a few weeks, it’s going to be retail armageddon. We can’t survive with curbside. We can’t survive at 50% capacity. We might be able to break even at best- and use our dwindling savings to pay bills at home. If our politicians would have been proactive and pro business, we

would be better positioned to get through this. But they didn’t. I watched the latest city council business advisory meeting. The biggest news? They don’t know what to do. Agree on nothing. And, most importantly, if anything goes awry, “We have no plan B”. That’s an exact quote. Here’s what I think we should all expect from leadership. Step up. Step forward. Be seen. Tell all of us what the plan is. Have a backup plan. Better yet, have 2. Try new ideas. Do something. Not everything will be successful. That’s OK. We understand not everything will work. Leadership is not about waiting and seeing and following the pack. Stop being afraid of losing votes. We need action now. It’s been two months since we’ve been forced to close. I spoke with one city leader who told me they expect onethird of all businesses to close permanently. One-third! Since State Street was about 20% empty already, does that mean over half of State Street businesses will be closed for good? It’s time to come out of your offices and realize what’s happening to real people in real trouble. And then get to work. Do something to help. That’s your job.

Start doing it. Let me be clear- no one could have prepared us for this pandemic. I like and respect many on the council. But we need to do better. We need to move past the years of inaction and get this done. Downtown Santa Barbara is a ghost town. It’s also a dirty mess. Let’s clean it up before we invite people to come shop, eat and drink again. Getting people downtown will be for nothing if it’s an embarrassment. We have a real opportunity here. This isn’t business as usual. Let’s take advantage of the urgency and put forth lasting positive change. and make real progress to save downtown. That’s the goal for everyone.

Earth Day Festival was beautiful

I

n times like these, it is important to find things to celebrate. The online Earth Day Festival in Santa Barbara was a beautiful example of community adapting, overcoming and showing appreciation for the planet that gives us life.

The earth and its people have faced a lot of devastating destruction, but we cannot just give in or forget the people who continue to fight for the planet and our ability to live on it. As shown in your article, “Issues like the environment don’t take a hiatus: CEC to take 50th Earth Day Festival online,” the adapted festival showcased people who work hard for their cause and general love for the environment. It is not practical to hold festivals with music and big name speakers every day, but it is devastating to think environmental issues are slipping away from the public’s priority. In Santa Barbara, in particular, one environmental issue that hits close to home is oil drilling. I call on Gov. Newsom to strengthen his stance against oil and protect California’s land and people by banning oil drilling. In scary times, we need to find reasons to celebrate. If the governor acts to protect our planet and our people’s health by banning oil drilling in California, we would be able to celebrate our planet not just once a year but daily. AJ de Leon Goleta
