Optimism meets uncertainty as businesses reopen

By CHRISTIAN WHITTLE NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Despite an uptick in hospitalizations due to COVID-19, life seems to be returning to Santa Barbara County with locals and a trickle of visitors beginning to leave their homes as the county moves into Stage 3 of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s “Resilience Roadmap.”

Under Stage 3, wineries and bars, gyms, hotels, zoos and museums and more have received the greenlight to reopen, and restaurants have been able to expand their capacity by offering more outdoor seating options.

Despite the uncertainty that has become all too familiar during the COVID-19 pandemic, it seems Stage 3 has finally offered a clearer view of what an open economy during the health crisis will look like.

“We as the chamber felt that we were getting good accurate information to push out to businesses on how they could plan for reopening, when they could expect their reopening date and could be ready to reopen.

We feel like everyone has been super motivated to comply so that their livelihoods could be reinstated but without putting lives at stake,” said Kristen Miller, who will be taking over as CEO for the combined Santa Barbara and Goleta Chambers of Commerce July 1.

Businesses that have chosen to reopen have adapted to new strict social distancing guidelines, especially those that have a high number of “touch-points.”

Businesses have had to find ways to pace their customers to keep space between them, use personal protective equipment (PPE) and minimize opportunities for contact.

“It’s not the simplest thing in the world, but businesses have been so motivated because of having lost their incomes and their ability to fulfill their life dreams of having a business open to the public. The motivation and enthusiasm is so Please see STAGE 3 on A3

Solvang adds two new luxury hotels

By CHRISTIAN WHITTLE NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The city of Solvang is getting two brand new hotels from luxury hotel brand Highway West Vacations, expanding the region’s upscale hospitality offerings as the county moves to rebuild its tourism industry.

The hotels, the Winston and the Vinland Hotel & Lounge, will offer visitors a combination of luxury and old world charm right in the heart of the little Danish town tucked in the Santa Ynez Valley.

The two new properties will be an extension of Highway West’s footprint in the region, as they

Cottage Health is unveiling its newest facility on Tuesday and it couldn’t have come at a better time.

Located at Hollister Village in Goleta, the Cottage Urgent Care Center will give a majority of people a new access point to receive healthcare in an efficient and timely manner.

“It was very intentional to pick this location. We really wanted to meet people where they’re

going about their daily business.

Instead of having to come find us when they need healthcare, we’re here for them and we’re excited to be kind in the middle of the action,” Taryn O’Connell, the administrative director of urgent care operations, told the News-Press during an open house Saturday.

“This area (Goleta) is growing a lot year over year, so there are a lot of people to serve and we are here for the community.”

also run the famed Sideways Inn and the Flying Flags RV Resort & Campground in Buellton.

“Obviously we have an established footprint with those two properties, our owners live on the Central Coast and love this area and we feel that it’s really going to become a growing tourist demand destination, even pre-COVID. We’d already seen a great demand from people making weekend trips up here from L.A. and Orange County or coming down from San Francisco, especially now that the road trip is back and people are looking for those great destinations,” said Matt Bernard, Please see HOTELS on A9

STAGE 3

Continued from Page A1 high that it’s hard work, but I don’t think it was that difficult,� said Ms. Miller.

In Solvang, the Chamber of Commerce and City Council have been working with the business community since March to get them the proper personal protective and cleaning equipment. Many small merchants were not used to buying anything more intense than Windex, and the Solvang Chamber of Commerce has worked to connect them with the proper suppliers with an emphasis on local producers. “At a time when it’s important to use PPE protection, are we making sure we’re buying it local?

Are we buying our sanitizer local from Buellton, from other sources that are making it local? We keep everyone in the loop,� said Tracy Beard, CEO of the Solvang chamber. “Everybody pivoted very well in this community to make sure that we knew how to go buy (PPE) and that we knew how to use it. That’s one of the things with this chamber. We’ve been very on top of it from the beginning. We never had a day off from work. We were probably working 10 hours a day from the day this started.�

In addition to communicating the details of the Reopening In Safe Environment, or RISE, Guide, cities and chambers have been providing a variety of loans to small businesses as well as assisting in the processing of PPP Loans. In Solvang, the chamber has assisted almost 180 clients with PPP loans and secured $5,000 microloans for 100 Solvang businesses. “Our city has been very generous to the business community,� said Ms. Beard.

A major step in moving to Stage 3 for Santa Barbara has been sealing State Street off traffic from Haley Street to Sola Street, effectively turning the street into a promenade. The move has allowed businesses in the area to move outdoor seating into the street, and it has been a hit with the city from day one. “It’s great. I think everyone from customers to the business owners themselves have been pleased with that adaptation,� said Ms. Miller.

While there has been some concern over social distancing along the new promenade, Ms. Miller said businesses have enthusiastically complied with safety protocols and relied on individuals who know

they are at risk or know they are connected to people who are at risk to monitor themselves. “If you’re a part of the group that can walk down State Street and can abide by the rules that it’s OK for you to be out, then you’re usually the ones who are out. If you are not, then you should stay home, and I think people do. The biggest concern is: Is it 100% safe for every single person? No, and those people will continue to not be able to enjoy going out in the way some people can. I’m not saying that’s a great thing, but we still have the ability to still keep people safe. If you can’t go out, you can’t go out yet,� said Ms. Miller.

While the chance to open their doors and invite customers has been a welcome change for Santa Barbara businesses, it remains to be seen if the outdoor seating will bring in enough sales to match operating at full capacity.

Solvang too has closed a section of its main street, shutting off two blocks of Copenhagen Drive and socially distancing tables, wine tasting areas and more. The city has also moved its farmers market into the area.

As with Santa Barbara, it remains unclear what effect the street closure will have on the recovery of the local economy. “We see small parts of customers returning, but I think because we are a tourist community, we don’t have the tourism to meet the sales. I think we’re at 50% less tourism at this point,� said Ms. Beard.

Despite the lingering uncertainty, businesses that have reopened are optimistic about the future as cities and chambers work hard to parse out next steps. “We’re very aware that there are changes going on right now in terms of the number of positives tests, of new cases being identified etc., but we are working diligently with the county,� said Ms. Miller. “We just had a meeting yesterday to go over those numbers so we don’t overreact or underreact. “In other words, the Public Health Department has the ability now to trace where cases are coming from, and therefore the business community can react appropriately. We are not seeing this coming from opening up to visitors or opening up restaurants. “We’re able to constantly monitor where the changes are coming from and make sure we’re staying vigilant, and our adaptations, as we understand, have worked.� email: cwhittle@newspress.com

Doc Carr has Gauchos heading down the right road

4Medicare Supplements 4Medicare Advantage Plans

By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

4Prescription Drug Plans

The new go-to guy for the UCSB men’s basketball team hasn’t scored a basket in nearly 50 years.

Dr. Joe Carr wasn’t quite Dr. J when he suited up for Sacramento State during the early 1970s. The renowned sports psychologist, however, has been playing a superstar role while helping the Gauchos cope with the current strife of racial tension and the COVID-19 pandemic. “He’s been such an unbelievable resource for us these past few years,� UCSB coach Joe Pasternack said.

Dr. Carr, known affectionately as “Doc� by the Gauchos, sits on their bench during practices and games — and even now in their virtual Zoom meetings, more than three months after the preemption of their season. “It’s the new normal,� Dr. Carr said. “The fact they can’t have a physical connection with each other right now is really tough for these guys. “We talk about how it’s normal to feel anxious in this climate.

We tell them if you’re not anxious about it, that means you’re taking risks that could really put you and your teammates in jeopardy. We don’t want to paralyze them about it, but we do want them making wise and responsible decisions.�

Pasternack enlisted him for one of their video conferences when racial protests and violence flared after the May 25 killing of George Floyd. Dr. Carr got several of the Gauchos to open up about their own incidents of racial abuse. “As adults, we sometimes don’t even think these kids have had those kind of experiences,� he said. “Once they started talking about it, it put them into a position of being in a learning and supportive mode with each other.�

Pasternack was only 22, working as a video coordinator for the Cal basketball team, when Golden Bears head coach Ben Braun dispatched him to the airport to pick up Dr. Carr. It was the beginning of a long, close relationship. “He’s been a part of my life the past 20 years, every step of the way,� Pasternack said. “He’s made such a tremendous impact on me as a coach and as an individual, helping me to understand that it’s not about X’s and O’s but about building relationships and helping these young men prepare for the rest of their lives.�

The first thing the doctor asked his young chauffeur two decades ago was where he wanted to take his basketball career. “He got into it right away,� Dr. Carr said with a laugh. “He got really fired up — started going 65 in a 25 mph zone. He wanted to

COURTESY PHOTO

Dr. Joe Carr, a sports psychologist who had worked with some of the top stars of the NBA, has been helping the UCSB men’s basketball team through the difficult days of COVID-19 and the George Floyd killing.

know everything. I told him, ‘Hey Joe! Slow down! You’re gonna get a ticket!’ “He does obey the speed limit now‌ although we did have to get him some speed bumps.â€?

Pasternack called upon him after becoming the head coach at New Orleans, and during a subsequent stint as an assistant coach at Arizona. “He’s still hyper-curious,� Dr. Carr continued, “but now he’s hyper-curious about everything including those things that are outside of basketball — about how to become a better person and a better family man. “A coach can become an autocrat, do anything he wants in controlling players, and that can lead to an abuse of power. But I’ve never seen that in him. I see him as a collaborative consensusseeker, always trying to improve his management and leadership style. That curiosity has driven him into becoming a better leader.�

Dr. Carr’s work in basketball has taken him to more than two dozen college campuses. He also developed the NBA’s rookie orientation program and has worked with many of the league’s superstars including LeBron James, Allen Iverson, Carmelo Anthony and Dikembe Mutombo.

He was even enlisted by the Federal Bureau of Prisons to develop its first multi-family therapy program to help inmates in their transition back into society. The Drug Enforcement Agency also contracted him for its Employee Assistance Program and he even made President Clinton’s short list for the position of National Drug Czar.

Dr. Carr uses the acronym of “R.A.R.E.� to explain his philosophy for basketball success: “R stands for relationships; you know, establishing like a brotherhood, kind of a close-

knit family,� he said. “A stands for accepting challenges; getting people to handle tough things, tough times and experiences, and being able to do it at a high level. “The next R stands for recovery from mistakes; having people that bounce back quicker and don’t dwell on situations. And E stands for executing coach’s direction, so that each player has a blind trust in the coach and their teammates.�

Pasternack told of how Amadou Sow, his two-time all-league forward, was able “to lean on�

Dr. Carr last December when his father passed away in the West African nation of Mali. “At the beginning of the season, Amadou told his story, so we all knew his family background and his religious beliefs,â€? Dr. Carr said. “The relationship that was built helped the team let him know that, ‘We’re your brother‌ If you need us, call us‌ We’re here for you.’ “It allowed Amadou to feel safe here in a difficult time.â€?

The Gauchos “have the chance to be very special next season,� he added. “There’s not a knucklehead in the group.�

Sow and 6-foot-10 Robinson Idehen, he added, should bring a large presence in the post. “Robinson is a heck of a kid,�

Dr. Carr gushed. “He’s not only a warrior but he’s empathetic and care-oriented. He has a natural leadership ability. “And Amadou is a guy who’s very passionate about his people and his country. He reminds me of Dikembe Mutombo that way. I see that same light in Amadou, using basketball as a platform to make a difference in the world.�

A Doc, after all, has taught them that standing tall is about more than just height. email: mpatton@newspress.com

Located in the historic Old Mill Clock Tower, the Winston’s repurposed building adds old world charm to the new hotel, while vibrant and daring dÊcor gives a contemporary feel.

‘There’s a lot of exciting change coming to the city and into the valley’ HOTELS

Continued from Page A1 area general manager for Highway West.

The Winston is a boutique hotel opening July 1 in the historic Old Mill Clock Tower, at 486 1st St. Highway West has looked to preserve the classic charm of the building by maintaining the beautiful exterior while giving the inside a vibrant and daring dĂŠcor to give it a contemporary feel. “There was a lot of retrofitting that had to be done to bring it up to current code.

We gutted the interior, redid the entire footprint on the inside to give us what we have now,� said Mr. Bernard.

The Winston features 14 rooms with retail space on the ground floor. Each room and suite is uniquely designed with oversized headboards and bold colors, interesting textures, and contrasting patterns. The Clock Tower Suite is perfect for a romantic getaway, while the entire hotel is well-suited for buyouts. “All of the rooms, with exception of

one, have either a single king or a single queen. We do have one room that has two king beds in it, but really the rooms are designed for sort of double occupancy of people traveling together. Because it is only 14 rooms we see a ton of potential for buyouts for the entire property, whether it’s a wedding party or family reunion or birthday celebration or corporate meeting or event. If you want to take over the entire space it would be very easy to do so,� said Mr. Bernard.

The project has been in the works for two years, and although the COVID-19 pandemic presented some challenges and setbacks, it gave Highway West an opportunity to implement “invisible check-in,� perfect for traveling in the current environment.

The system is similar to Airbnb’s model, where upon arriving, guests receive an email with a code for the entry door and one for their room. There is no front desk. “There’s no one that you’re having to stand in line with, talk to, check-in, hand over a credit card, go through that whole

rigamarole where you’ve got 10 people in line behind you. We handle all of that in advance,� said Mr. Bernard.

At no point are guests required to collect a key and carry it around as locks are all managed through pin-code entry. There’s also no staff that guests would necessarily see during their stay. “We have a host that’s there cleaning rooms and doing the morning breakfast service and keeping up the public areas, so you feel that there’s a very high level of service and attention to detail that’s been put into place but you may never actually see somebody doing it,� said Mr. Bernard.

COVID-19 has also not diminished the success of the Vinland, which has been open since the county eased restrictions on leisure travel two weeks ago. The hotel has proved popular with everyone from couples to families, especially travelers booking rooms for a same-day stay or one or two days in advance. “There was a ton of pent up demand, which we expected, but I don’t think anyone expected quite as much as we’ve

seen. The phones don’t seem to stop ringing,� said Mr. Bernard.

Located at 1455 Mission Drive, the 82-room Vinland offers guests a clean, modern design, elevating the traditional Solvang hotel experience, with amenities including a heated pool and hot tub, cold brew coffee bar, and soon-to-open V Lounge, featuring fresh Californian fare with an unmistakable Danish flair in addition to local wines, craft beer and innovative cocktails. “A great benefit of the restaurant is it is going to be able to stay open much later than everything else in Solvang.

Technically speaking we have to close at 2 a.m., but other than that we can be open the full range of the evening. It’s going to give Solvang a much needed additional nightlife and opportunity to do things once everything else closes,� said Mr. Bernard.

In addition, the hotel is working to partner with local vineyards to offer guests a chance to experience the region’s world-class wines. When the partnerships are finalized, guests in the hotel’s top

suites will receive a bottle of wine from a local winery upon check in and a voucher for tasting rooms. “The thought behind it is we’re in this killer location and we have so many of these great wineries that are accessible and we really want to let people feel like there was a sense of place to where they were staying,� said Mr. Bernard. “It’s a great opportunity to highlight some of the great vineyards in the region and give our guests the opportunity to feel like they got a unique one-of-a-kind experience.�

To book a stay at these or any of Highway West’s other locations, visit https://highwaywestvacations.com. “We’re really excited to bring these two great opportunities to Solvang and to the valley as a whole. There’s a lot of exciting change coming to the city and into the valley and we’re excited to be on the forefront of that, bringing in two great new properties,� said Mr. Bernard.

New urgent care will strive to provide patients with quick care COTTAGE

Continued from Page A1 Center is the first of 10 locations Cottage is hoping to unveil in the Tri-county Region from San Luis Obispo to Camarillo. According to Ms. O’Connell, Cottage hopes to unveil all 10 sites as early as the end of this year or early 2021.

One of the best things about the new urgent care in Goleta is that it will try to see patients in a very quick fashion, aiming to provide complete care within 30 minutes for patients who are 6 months or older.

“Our main goal is just to provide an additional access point for healthcare, trying to meet a little bit of a different need with our really kind of consumer driven focus and so we hope that people who do develop those just minor inconveniences strep throat, UTI’s, or influenza can come in and get treated really quick and efficiently,” Ms. O’Connell said.

While the site will be able to provide support, it is not an emergency room, as such if someone has a major injury or ailment, they should still go to a hospital.

“We actually are a nurse practitioner model and our nurse practitioners are really trained and very specific to the scope of what would be seen in an urgent care facility and then they’re also experts at knowing when and how to refer elsewhere,” Ms. O’Connell said.

The urgent care facility can also help someone looking to get regular sports physicals.

The new facility comes equipped with four exam suites, one treatment suite and one imaging suite which contains an

X-ray machine. The urgent care also will be equipped to handle small stitching jobs or other minor injuries in that realm. There are also negative airflow rooms where patients who potentially have COVID-19 will be placed for examinations.

For infections such as Urinary Tract Infections, the urgent care also can administer a handful of lab tests that will give results in five to 10 minutes.

“That is one reason we are really confident we can get people in and out. For anyone who has a condition that we are able to safely and efficiently treat, we’ve got a lot of great processes to keep that moving really quickly. And then for anyone who we feel like it is safer for them to be at the emergency department, we’ll do that right away,” Ms. O’Connell said.

Another reason she is confident in the urgent care’s ability is the capable staff located at the facility.

The urgent care will have 11 total staff members, including three nurse practitioners and eight clinical concierges working 12-hour shifts.. Four staff members, including one nurse practitioner and three clinical concierges, will be working at one time.

The concierges are all multifaceted workers as well, being able to do more than just one task.

“That really serves two purposes. One, it gives the patient one face throughout their entire visit other than the provider and it also reduces patients having to tell so many people why they are there. It really should only take one or two people max to know why someone is there and how

they can help them right away and we will be able to do that,” Ms. O’Connell said.

Being in the middle of a pandemic, the hiring process was a challenge as it all had to be online, but Ms. O’Connell said she was very happy with who will be coming on.

The staff even got their first look at the facility this past week and are excited to start helping people next week.

“This past week was a lot of fun. We got to bring the staff in

to really go through some staging practice, the workflows and they are really excited to get going.

They’re ready to see some real patients instead of going through scenarios with fake patients,” Ms. O’Connell said.

The facility also held a virtual open house at noon Saturday and said they received plenty of wonderful feedback from the community.

“That was a lot of fun. There were some really great comments.

People just seemed excited

because Cottage has a great reputation for our hospital care and we were hoping that that would translate to people being excited to have this different care offering and it seems that that’s the case,” Ms. O’Connell said.

People wanting to make an appointment can go online and schedule it at www.cottagehealth. org/urgent-care/. The facility also offers walk-in appointments. email: jmercado@newspress.com

HUDAK, Donna Jean (Grissom)

Donna Jean (Grissom) Hudak passed away on March 24, 2020, at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital after a brief illness. She was 92.

Beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother (“GG”), Donna was born in Hutchinson, Kansas, to Willard W. and Merwyn P. (Bornholdt) Grissom. Donna was the youngest of two children, sister to Willard (Bill) C. Grissom. Her mother died when Donna was five and her father would later remarry Elizabeth I. (Anderson) Grissom. By the end of 1940, her family had moved to Tacoma, Washington, where she would eventually meet and marry Robert C. Hudak at Fort Lewis WA, when he was a Corporal in the Air Force, and she worked on base as a clerk typist. Donna and Bob would later move to southern California where they raised their six children, first in Long Beach and Los Alamitos, and eventually by 1970 calling the Santa Ynez Valley home.

An avid gardener, Donna also loved the Lakers, a rousing game of pinochle or gin rummy, a good book, dancing, and playing the piano, but most of all her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She worked at the Solvang Nordic Knives shop for over 20 years. In her retirement she enjoyed volunteering her time at the Santa Ynez Valley Humane Society Thrift Shop and the Solvang Senior Center. Donna was an early adopter and participant in the online revolution of the ‘90s known as the internet and educated herself on technology and stayed connected to the world through her computer. She loved to spend hours researching her ancestry or things of interest, sending and reading emails, or following the postings of friends and family on Facebook where she was quick to “like” and offer loving and supportive commentary or her wry sense of humor. Over these last few years, although she was challenged by declining health, she still loved spending time on her front porch amongst her potted plants, watching the hummingbirds fight over the feeders, and appreciating her fine view of Figueroa Mountain.

Fiercely independent to the end, Donna was a compassionate, kind and loving soul to everyone she encountered. She is survived by her 6 children (Bobby, Gary, Karen, Mary, Michael and Charles), 11 grandchildren, 7 great-grandchildren and many friends.

Donna was preceded in death by her husband (1985) and was laid to rest at his side in the Riverside National Cemetery. Due to the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic only a small immediate family memorial service could be held before her interment, but a celebration of her life is planned for the future. For those wishing to do so, the family may be contacted through Donna’s home telephone number.

HARDING, John Harwood

October 9, 1937 – June 13, 2020 John Harding was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts to Franklin H. Harding, Jr. and Elsie Ruth Harding (Gens).

Both parents were graduates of Boston University Law School. His father practiced law in Boston until his death in 1946. After living in the Boston area and then in Augusta, Georgia, his mother moved him and his two brothers to La Jolla, California in 1950. John attended La Jolla Jr.-Sr. High School and graduated in 1956. It was in La Jolla where John took up his lifelong passion for surfing, mainly at Windansea. Surfing called John to Santa Barbara and UCSB where he could surf the Rincon, Hammonds, and Campus Point. At UCSB John pledged SAE. He also met his future wife there, Maylo Lewis, whom he wed in 1960.

John earned his BA degree from UCSB in 1961.

John and Maylo stayed in Santa Barbara, where eventually John became involved in real estate, first as a broker, then as appraiser, and as an investor. John became a Member of the Appraisal Institute, earning the coveted title of an MAI qualified appraiser. John was well known in the real estate community, first as a member of the Board of Realtors, then as member and president of the Society of Real Estate Appraisers in Santa Barbara. John became an expert in appraising Montecito and Hope Ranch properties and was often called as an expert witness in litigation matters.

John and Maylo raised two children, Christopher (1963) and Jill (1970) in their home in Montecito. John’s first love was surfing, but he also became an avid skier, tennis player, and golfer. Often family vacations revolved around his love of surfing and skiing which was passed down to his children. In the early ‘60s he was a member of the Hollister Ranch surf club and spent many weekends surfing there. John, always looking for the perfect board, would make his own boards, then made of balsa wood. Then he met Rennie Yater who made many boards for him over the years. He and Maylo made many trips to their favorite place, Hawaii. John was a member of Knowlwood Tennis Club (president), Birnam Wood Golf Club, and supported the Montecito YMCA (board member).

John is survived by his wife, Maylo, son Chris, daughter Jill, and granddaughters Kendall and Kaila. He is also survived by his brothers, Frank Harding (La Jolla) and Jeffrey Harding (Santa Barbara), and nephew Matthew Harding.

John became afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease and resided at Oak Cottage in Santa Barbara when he passed away. The family wishes to thank his caregiver Tavo Moreno for his kind and loving care. A celebration of John will be held in the future.

Joan was born in Bellevue, Illinois to Alice and Arlington Nuetzel. She met the love of her life Con P. Curran III, married in 1955 at the Old Cathedral in St. Louis Missouri and gave birth to 5 beautiful children. In 1978 Con and Joan moved to Vail, Colorado, where she began her career as a Real Estate agent for Vail Associates.

They moved to Santa Barbara in 1985 and Joan went on to become one of the top Real Estate agents in Montecito working for Coldwell Banker, Jon Douglas Company, Pitts and Bachman and Sotheby’s. After retiring from real estate, Joan spent 13 years volunteering her time as a sacristan at the Old Mission Santa Barbara. Joan was beautiful, intelligent and respected by all her peers. She left this world as she lived in it, with grace and dignity.

She is survived by her sons Craig (Joanna) Curran and Christopher (Linda) Curran and was surrounded by her two loving daughters Joan (Craig) Schuermann and Jennifer Curran, as she passed.

TORREY, Mark Lincoln

On June 7, 2020, Mark Lincoln Torrey, loving son, brother, friend and partner was lost to cancer at The Serenity House. Mark was born in Santa Maria on July 26, 1961 and was raised in Santa Barbara, where he attended local schools. As a youth, he participated in Indian Guides, Cub Scouts, and 4-H, raising market lambs. Another joy was being on his horse. Mark worked for many years with his father in the family business, Mission Hardware, and moved up to the Santa Ynez Valley, where he was able to return to his love of horses, leasing a few ranches and training facilities. For the past several years, Mark lived and worked at Cielo Celeste Farm, where he enjoyed dear friendships and a bucolic, happy life.

Mark was a true friend to many; he was extraordinary in literally making friends everywhere he went and endeared himself to many. He will be greatly missed by all.

Mark is survived by his mother, Marilyn Torrey, siblings David Torrey, Lorilee Torrey and Karen Sloan, sister-in-law Lisa, as well as extended family. Mark was preceded in death by his father, Jay Torrey.

We wish to thank Serenity House and Mark’s dear friend and partner, Paul Keenan, for Mark’s wonderful care along with Cielo Celeste Farm, especially in the last few months of his life.

The immediate family gathered for a graveside service at the Goleta Cemetery.

Weekly State Street event gets consistent crowds

Busy days at farmers market

By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

L

ast Tuesday’s farmers market on State Street was comfortably bustling with activity.

While not packed with pedestrians to the extent that social distancing couldn’t be observed, several vendors and shoppers reported that it was about as successful a market day as the previous week’s and a vast improvement over the early days of COVID-19 this past spring.

As precautions against further spreading COVID-19, each market stall had designated entrances and exits to control the number of people buying at a time. Also, masks were required when walking outside the tents, and vendors were prohibited from giving out free samples of their products, normally a big draw to the market.

Ruth Alpert, a local resident and regular customer at The Santa Barbara Certified Farmers’ Market, told the News-Press that she never stopped coming to the market, even when attendance hit rock bottom after COVID-19 restrictions took effect in March.

In her estimation, about a third of the farmers normally seen at the market stopped coming when lockdowns first went into effect, and some still haven’t returned.

That said, she’s observed that foot traffic has “picked way up.”

“Mid-March to mid-April, I was concerned whether the farmers would be able to keep coming because they were not making any money because there were so few of us coming out,” she said.

When the News-Press ran into Ms. Alpert, she was leaving the stand with a head of lettuce to supplement the groceries she bought at the Saturday farmers market in the Cota Street parking lot. She remarked that her vegan diet has kept her coming back to the market consistently.

“I’m vegan. If I don’t get my food here, I basically don’t eat,” she said.

Santa Barbara resident and regular market customer Erin McGovern thought Tuesday’s market was actually “quieter” than those of the past few weeks. On the whole, however, she said she has noticed “more people each time I come.”

Martha Blackwell, who was purchasing pistachios from the Santa Barbara Pistachio Co. tent, said the number of customers felt “about the same” as the past couple weeks.

Vendors who spoke to the NewsPress on Tuesday said that the late afternoon’s crowd size felt similar to those of recent markets.

Mark Makela, who was running the stand of his family’s olive oil business California Coast Naturals, said the market looked “about the same” as those of previous weeks.

He added that there has been considerable demand for his family’s brand of olive oil because COVID-19 has made people more conscious of their health.

“A spoonful of this every day … It really helps you out,” he said.

The Santa Barbara Certified Farmers’ Market has been busy Tuesdays on State Street.

While olive oil sales may be up, California Coast Naturals’ olive jars haven’t been selling as well since pandemic restrictions took effect. Mr. Makela said this is most likely due to free samples being prohibited.

“Since we can’t sample, the sales of my olives are down a little bit, but the sales for the olive oil is up,” Mr. Makela stated.

Carpinteria-based Fecker Farms has been selling its strawberries, leafy greens and seasonal produce at the farmers market every week since the pandemic began.

According to Adriana Arenas, who was manning the company’s tent, the throngs of customers looked “pretty normal” besides the fact that everyone was wearing masks.

“It feels like people are back into their regular groove,” she said.

One differing opinion did come from the man managing the Santa

Barbara Pistachio Company tent, who just gave his first name, Boomer. As far as Boomer could see, the Tuesday market’s attendance has consistently been on the up and up.

“I think it’s getting a bit busier week by week,” he said. email: jgrega@newspress.com

FYI The Santa Barbara Certified Farmers’ Market takes place 4 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays in the 600 and 700 blocks of State Street. Other markets take place on various days in Goleta, Solvang, Carpinteria, Montecito and on Cota Street. For a schedule with specific times and addresses, go to www.sbfarmersmarket.org.

You can count on music at the farmers market. “Pug” Bernhardt, a one-man band, plays for Julie and Mike Sego of Los Altos with their children Locke, 3, and Valentine, 5.

SOLUTION ON D3

HOROSCOPE HOROSCOPE.COM Sunday, June 28, 2020 ARIES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The sun is in your family zone this week, so your focus may be on getting your place shipshape, as well as reflecting on what your feelings may be telling you.

TAURUS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This week, aspects of your social life and certain people who may not be as they seem. You may find out the truth about someone and grow a little disillusioned.

GEMINI â&#x20AC;&#x201D; If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to take the world by storm this week, it might be time to network like crazy. There are some people out there you need to meet!

CANCER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This week could put you in the mood to get moving on your bestlaid plans. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have the motivation and determination to work hard to get where you want to be.

LEO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This week could see you getting along much better with certain people than you have been. If the past weeks have helped you better understand them and clear the air, then any minor spats can quickly be forgotten.

VIRGO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; After a time of refining your plans and goals, you might be ready to strike out with a new sense of confidence and authority. This week is the time to connect with people who can help you make progress.

LIBRA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; You may wonder where the time has gone this week. You can either go with the flow or determine your own course.

It might be time to begin to swim upstream.

SCORPIO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This week youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll begin to sense when someone isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t good for you and immediately distance yourself from them.

This is a big red flag that you should take note of.

SAGITTARIUS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; It might be worth your while this week to meditate and connect to a higher power. Feeling its presence within can help you handle family drama in a way that encourages healing and understanding.

CAPRICORN â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Are you ready to make a clean sweep on the home front this week?

For a start, removing clutter and clearing away those piles of papers can give you an instant feeling of peace.

AQUARIUS â&#x20AC;&#x201D;This week might be time to release any unhealthy attachments to money and finances and perhaps find a more spiritual connection with them instead.

PISCES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This week you might be disillusioned about certain beliefs and turn from a well-traveled path to one youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never explored before. Trust your instincts about what is best for you and you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go wrong.

G How to play Codeword

Codeword is a fun game with simple rules, and a great test of your knowledge of the English language.

Sunday, June 28, 2020

SOLUTION ON D3

Every number in the codeword grid is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;codeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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.

PUZZLES

Mom resistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; exâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pleas to reconcile

D

ear Abby: My ex is a recovering drug addict. We have a 2-yearold son together.

I realized he was using drugs when I was seven months pregnant and all our money was gone.

I stayed with him for a year after I learned about his addiction. That year was the hardest year of my life. Choosing to leave was extremely painful, and I still cry about it every day.

My ex was never the type of addict who nodded off, cheated or had other issues; if it hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been for the money disappearing, we would have had a perfect relationship.

He finally went to rehab and seems to Abigail Van Buren be doing well.

He still goes to work at a great job, pays child support now and is involved with our son, who adores him. He wants us to get back together.

It has been more than a year since we separated â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and I hate to admit this, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the happiest I have ever been. Abby, I feel guilty about it. Even though I love him, he broke me as a person with his lies, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I can ever trust him. I love my life with my son, and the thought of us living as a family in one house again makes me sick. I feel ashamed for not wanting to try, and these feelings are crippling.

I told him I want him to move on, but he says he will always love me and will never give up. Do I owe it to him â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and our child â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to try and work it out? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Happier Without Him Dear Happier: No, you do not. You are in charge of your life now, and if that gives you peace of mind and makes you happy, then you are under no moral or ethical obligation to change it.

Please remember that you are not responsible for your exâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happiness. You may always love each other, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t obligate you. If he wants to â&#x20AC;&#x153;never give up,â&#x20AC;? that is his choice. If you want to move on with your life, that is your choice and your privilege.

Dear Abby: Can you settle a dispute between my husband and me? Sometimes, I take it upon myself to hand-wash my car because I enjoy seeing my hard work reflected in my shiny car. When I do, it sparks an argument.

His view is that since heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the man, he should be responsible for washing the car. He says there are certain things â&#x20AC;&#x153;women just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do.â&#x20AC;?

I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m perfectly capable of washing my car. Should I give up and let him take care of washing my car, or should I stand my ground? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Just as Capable Dear Capable: If you want to wash your car occasionally, it should not be grounds for an argument. Many women do, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an issue. However, because your husband seems to find it emasculating, let me suggest that rather than argue about it you allow him to spoil you by doing it for you from time to time. And when he does, if you feel compelled to polish something, let it be your nails while heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out there sweating in the driveway.

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.

Decades later, I still canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forgive my husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s affair partner

D

ear Carolyn: During the 1980s, my husband had several affairs.

I stuck it out and successfully raised our children despite all the problems.

I know of an affair with someone who still lives in the same town. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that I know, and neither does she. She is married now and acts like a pillar of the community.

It sickens me because she thinks she got away with sleeping with a married man who had children to boot.

Although she was not married at the time, she was plenty old enough to know better.

I want to at least let her know that I know. I am sure she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell her husband she had been seeing a married man before she met him.

I just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to let this go.

Every time I see her, I can almost see the smug look on her face and feel her thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If only she knew all the things I did behind her back.â&#x20AC;?

Is it wrong for me to say something? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Frustrated in Indiana Frustrated in Indiana: You are not sure what she did or didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell her husband.

You do not know what she thinks.

You do not know how she feels.

This could be the biggest regret of her life.

When she sees you, she could be thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so sorry.â&#x20AC;? She could have told this all to her husband â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and he could love her more for her frailty and conscience. This woman doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need your scorn.

She could also be an unrepentant liar who mocks you. This woman doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need your scorn, either. Because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pointless.

A good woman will already feel terrible without your help, and a bad one wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel

TONIGHT

terrible even with it.

And youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll feel as terrible as ever for not having accomplished anything â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if not worse, for debasing yourself by letting your anger prevail.

You feel like a victim; I get it. But the remedy for that has never been to create more victims, say, her husband.

Instead, find some constructive outlet for your anger. Use it to get out of an unhappy marriage, if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what it is â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or to motivate yourself to speak the truth of your pain to your husband, if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you need. Or to take pride in your strength for raising good kids, or saving a marriage that proved to be worth saving, if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what it was.

Or to take up yoga, or get counseling, or volunteer at a shelter for abused women or children or pets.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking 20 years here. Reclaim yourself, please, before they shutter the Lost & Found.

Dear Carolyn: My boyfriend and I have been together two years and I have made very clear what I need from him before living together or marriage.

I am a very active person, and he is not. I am not willing to compromise. He promised he would change, but isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t making much progress. I know that for people to change they have to want to, and he says he does, but how much time am I supposed to give him? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; California California: As much as he should give you to back off and love him. He is who he is. Stay or go.

Email Carolyn at tellme@washpost.com or chat with her online at 9 a.m. each Friday at www.washingtonpost.com.

gUEST OPINION

The errant revolution to destroy America

A

merica is in the throes of a revolution against our modern day institutions and the vestiges of our history. Hence, historical and religious buildings and monuments are being defaced and torched, ostensibly because America is a country systemically steeped in racism and bigotry. That is, the insurrectionists believe America is rotten to the core.

Conversely, I would maintain that this movement, intent on destroying America, is comprised of dishonest and ignorant people as it relates to the world we are living in. That is, racism and bigotry are historic across all races, cultures and people groups, predating Western Civilization, meaning “white supremacists” did not invent or perfect the same.

Let’s start with the issue of slavery. Many of the slaves who came to America were sold to the slavers by fellow Africans who held these same people as slaves themselves. Moreover, to this day, blacks in Africa are still capturing blacks for slaves, primarily women as sex slaves, think Boko Haram — or maybe they should be called Boko Harem. And, frankly, today’s

child brides in the Middle East and in the home.

Unfortunately, however,

a black man on leave from the United States Army was recently murdered in cold blood on the streets of Lompoc. One of the Hispanic suspects has a tattoo referring to Lompoc’s biggest Hispanic gang, the VLP or Vario Lompoc Primera.

Speaking of history, decades ago, a group of primarily white radicals here in America tried to start a revolution — a communist revolution. The name of their organization was the Weathermen, aka the Weather Underground.

Of course, no self-respecting communists would call for a revolution without a manifesto, would they? In this case, the manifesto was named “Prairie Fire,” and it laid out the plans on how to destroy the United States by “destroying capitalism by way of identifying and organizing the victim class of systemic racism and police racism” by means of guerilla warfare.

Don’t you love it when a plan comes together?

letters to the news-press Masks create many problems

O

ur country has been bombarded with billions of face masks. Here in California, all of us were ordered to buy masks and keep buying them, until we were told to stop. We also were threatened to be punished if we don’t use our mask, plus a penalty of $1,000 for each violation.

That was three months ago.

Now problems of health with masks are growing. The number of people who want to use masks are declining. And courageous workers, who have worked eight hours and five days a week through the virus, are being appreciated.

Meanwhile, concerns against masks are being seen, even more with strong, consistent observations, such as: “using the mark makes it hard to breathe,” “I feel light-headed from lack of oxygen,” “I don’t feel as pretty,” “I feel depressed ,” “people can’t recognize me,’ “ I can’t hear people, and they can’t hear me,”

D

“my eyeglasses steam up,” “my face skin gets red-hot, ” and “my face being covered up hurts my business.”

Masks also offer free acne, sore throats and headaches.

The good news is that international medical expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, admitted on June 16 that the masks are essentially only a symbol. So, the six feet distance now works best with the virus. That gives Americans a choice of whether to wear a mask or not, as it should be.

The backfire of shame

are the party of the Confederacy, of slavery, segregation and the Ku Klux Klan. They have a lot of explaining to do if they can’t convince everyone to erase the country’s collective history and condemn the heritage the party was stuck with having mortally perverted.

Americans need to be strong and must be proud of who they are and why. Being ashamed is a stone upon which nothing will grow.

This enormous backfire will be blindsiding to socialist Democrats when they get the bill for the damage to the cities they surrendered out of weakness and shame to terrorists — found in the ruins.

T

he Republicans killed George Floyd! Nancy Pelosi actually said that — OUTLOUD. It has come to blatant galling treachery, schoolyard bullying and name calling, outrageous irresponsible hypocrisy.

It’s all about guilt. Democrats

Jim Thomas not right for Solvang

I

grew up around policemen who were friends and colleagues of my Dad. He was “on the job” for 33

years, a superior officer, in every sense, with the NYPD. I think I know something about good cops, effective policing and fine character.

I have met and spoken with Jim Thomas, a former sheriff now seeking a seat on Solvang’s City Council. He has been doing PR for a big oil company trying to ramp up operations here in our midst.

This is an effort that, if successful, would jeopardize our attraction as a tourist destination.

And Jim has expressed deeply insensitive racial views about a tragic police incident in New York.

This does not speak well for his judgment in these socially-fraught but hopeful times.

Further, he has been quick to cry “socialism” when criticizing folks who seek to grow a safe and renewable energy economy here in our county, while preserving our health and environment.

Does Solvang really want him on the City Council?

Seth Steiner Los Alamos

SB City Council reacts out of fear

id You Know that our City Council is quaking in their shoes at the accusations more fitting to places like Baltimore, Seattle or Los Angeles?

This is Santa Barbara. Will we now be on our own with City Council defunding the police department?

They tell us all the big cities are doing it. With less police presence, we could actually become like these big cities. Is this what we want?

Regarding equality/equity during public comment: A speaker asked why no public input was allowed in drafting the resolution condemning police brutality and declaring racism a public health crisis in Santa Barbara.

When questioned by the public speaker, Council member Oscar Gutierrez admonished her, insisting that the protest May 31 at the Courthouse WAS the public comment. However, this shut out any dissenting public comment on a very important issue.

At Tuesday’s City Council Meeting, Council member Mike Jordan wanted the word “urge” in the BLM’s Resolution changed to something stronger. With indignation, Council member Alejandra Gutierrez and Mayor Cathy Murrillo exclaimed it wasn’t possible as these were the exact words BLM dictated (to the rest of us). Who, when, what, why, where was this document constructed?

Again this demonstrates to the public their fear and their compliance with the demands of BLM. They are acting not from a position of strength but out of reaction.

During the public comment portion of this City Council

Here in the city at Santa Barbara and Figueroa streets, as the Black BLM protesters lay on the ground and said they were terrified as they looked up and saw the face of “white supremacy.”

There were non-white officers among the group. Does this mean, if one isn’t black, everyone else is a racist and guilty of white supremacy? Remember this lament comes from the generation that was reared on the idea that “NO” is a relative term. Any authority, not just the police, is not their forte.

Just because there’s a resolution condemning police brutality in SB

The BLM movement demonizes our history and culture, our art and religion, basically those principles that we built and by which we live.

We are being subjected to a bunch of brainwashed college kids who are admittedly trained by Marxist professors and act under the cover of the BLM, which is directed and funded by the DNC. We need real leaders and stakeholders in the city to come together, and do something about this feckless group of elected officials, who allow a purported 1.3 % of the population to make demands of the city; while the council and mayor are acquiescing to the detriment of the other 98.7 percent. We vote too, you know.
