Retail heads toward pre-pandemic level Owners happy with foot traffic during holiday weekend

Goleta startup develops technology to propel future of air transportation

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The three-day weekend brought California day-trippers to downtown Santa Barbara, ready to hit State Street’s shops. Owners were excited at the foot traffic and hopeful that it’s a sign of the end of the pandemic’s economic lull. “The community feels they can get out safely now. With all the safeguards and protocols already practiced for so long, this was the weekend — almost on the cusp of spring — that they felt was the time to get out and enjoy,” Alan Howard, owner of

Antique Alley, told the NewsPress Monday. His store, located at 706 State St. in downtown Santa Barbara, had a steady flow of customers on Presidents’ Day and a small line forming at the cash registers. January was a slow month as rains dampened weekend business. Mr. Howard also attributes the insurrection at the Capitol to the lower consumer enthusiasm. “I think there’s optimism in the United States, or at least in California, with the new administration, the declining Please see RETAIL on A2

LaunchPoint’s development of air propulsion generators help to power large drones and are paving the way for the future of air travel.

CDC says schools should be first to reopen

By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

Picture this. You want to take a day trip to Los Angeles, but you don’t want to deal with the traffic. What if instead of driving, you could take an emission-free flying car? It might sound like something straight out of “The Jetsons,” but engineers say we could see flying cars on the market within the next two decades. In fact, LaunchPoint, an aerospace startup in Goleta, is already creating and testing highly technical air propulsion systems that will pave the way for the future of air transport. Situated in a small office space behind Habit Burger in downtown Goleta, LaunchPoint engineers are working to develop hybridelectric generators that can be used to power large cargo drones and, eventually, flying cars. “Our work is going to personally affect everybody by changing the paradigm for which goods and services and people are delivered,” CEO Rob Reali told the News-Press. “You really will see here, within 24-36 months, your Amazon package being silently delivered to your doorstep instead of a UPS person or a postal service person starting at 5:30 a.m. driving all over the city to drop off packages.” This futuristic technology has been developed by LaunchPoint engineers for more than a decade, and the company is in the process of selling its latest development, the HSP GenSet 40 kilowatt generator, to leading air mobility firms all over the world. LaunchPoint generators are

battery-powered, making them emission-free and efficient. The startup is currently distributing its first 10 prototypes to potential customers, with five already shipped to potential buyers. Mr. Reali told the NewsPress the startup is on the cusp of achieving the next level of success once their potential customers are satisfied with the prototype

The company is already racking up grants from the Department of Defense for the development of larger generators that will power flying cars for future Air Force Missions.

development. Though the company only launched six months ago as a spinoff of the think tank LaunchPoint Technologies, it is already in contact with some of the top Fortune 500 companies all over the world. “Just one contract changes who we are in terms of growth and success,” Mr. Reali said.

The CDC says schools should be “the last settings to close” and “the first to reopen.” But to open, schools should layer their mitigation strategies, according to the Atlanta-based federal agency, which published guidance to schools Friday. In that report, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention emphasized mask wearing and social distancing. But the agency on Friday also released a study showing mixed mask usage in middle and high schools. Of a sample of 3,953 students surveyed, 65% said peers wore masks all the time. The CDC on Friday refreshed its chart for school decisionmaking, reducing the number of thresholds from five to four. Lowest and low transmission groups were merged. The color-coded tiers in the guidance differs from the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department’s tiers, which currently categorizes the county in the purple or “widespread” tier. Based on the CDC’s new guidelines, Santa Barbara County’s case rate (36.4 daily cases per 100,000 population) falls in the moderate transmission or yellow tier, which covers case rates of 10 to 49 daily cases per 100,000. But Santa Barbara County’s

test positivity rate of 10.2% is in the CDC’s high transmission or red tier, which includes test positivity rates of 10% and up. The CDC said schools measuring in two tiers should follow the more restrictive category. The CDC recommends elementary schools in communities with high transmission operate in hybrid learning or reduced attendance. The agency said middle and high schools should stay virtual unless they can follow all mitigation strategies with few cases. Sports and extracurricular activities should be online only in high transmission communities, according to the CDC. The agency recommends weekly COVID-19 testing of students and staff in almost all cases. If counties are in the low transmission tier, testing of students is not suggested. The guidance lists vaccines as one mitigation strategy but does not say that vaccination of teachers is required for inperson class. It upholds the Phase 1B categorization of teachers, though recommends teachers are prioritized within the 1B group. The CDC warns that the guidance may change if COVID-19 variants increase the rate of transmission.

Shopping among sculptures

KENNETH SONG / NEWS-PRESS PHOTOS

Above, a bronze sculpture of Benjamin Franklin by J. Seward Johnson Jr. fans the Declaration of Independence. It sits in La Arcada Plaza, at 1114 State St. in downtown Santa Barbara. At right, “Generation Bridge,” another sculpture by J. Seward Johnson Jr., depicts a seated older man befriending a young girl.

a Arcada Plaza combines historic architecture with a playful spirit, as demonstrated by bronze sculptures carefully placed throughout the courtyard. “La arcada” translates to “the arcade,” an arched walkway. The plaza, located at 1114 State St. in Santa Barbara, welcomes visitors into its shops and businesses surrounding the courtyard. La Arcada Plaza was designed by Myron Hunt in 1926. He also designed the Rose Bowl football stadium in Pasadena. The courtyard features myriad sculptures, including bronze dolphins by Santa Barbara artist Bud Bottoms. who also sculpted the dolphins by Stearns Wharf. La Arcada Plaza has 16 shops and six restaurants. For more information, go to laarcadasantabarbara. com.

The “Mozart Trio” fountain by Bonifatius Stirnberg portrays a cellist, flutist and a French horn player.

Help still available for uninsured people Covered California launched a new television ad campaign Monday to reach uninsured Californians during the COVID-19 pandemic. The ads support Covered California’s new special enrollment period, which started Feb. 1 and runs through May 15. The commercials are informing uninsured Californians that they still have time to sign up for health insurance. “Taking care of your health has never been more important than it is right now, and we want everyone to know that if you do not have health insurance, the time is now to check out Covered California and see if you are eligible for financial help to lower the cost of your coverage,” said Peter V. Lee, executive director of Covered California. “You do not want to be uninsured right now and anyone who needs coverage — and is eligible to sign up through Covered California — can do so immediately.” The ads began airing Monday in California’s biggest media markets, in both English and Spanish, to make sure that consumers know that enrollment is open due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Covered California is investing more than $6 million over the next few months to encourage consumers to check out their options. Digital ads have been appearing online since Feb. 1.

generators with longer flight times. Currently, LaunchPoint’s largest generator can power drone flights for up to two hours. “The Air Force is becoming the preeminent Department of Defense organization to support flying cars,” Chris Greico, vice president of Business Development and Sales, told the News-Press. “(The Air Force) needs them on the battlefield, whether its logistics, delivery, rescue or extraction.” Companies like Amazon and Uber are sitting at the forefront of the air mobility movement, investing billions into the future of large drones and air taxis. Car companies such as Hyundai are in the early stages of designing flying cars, and LaunchPoint’s generators will play a role in powering the flight technology. Though flying cars are still over a decade away, drone technology will take a leading role in the delivery of goods within the next three years, LaunchPoint executives said. As drone delivery becomes more accessible, in-person delivery is expected to take a back seat. However, Mr. Greico stressed the job opportunities for postal workers and delivery drivers. “You need drone pilots. You need people to service drones and there will always be customer follow-up,” he said. “If this gets big enough, it’ll employ, looking at the net amount, way more people than it displaces.” email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

Beauty of pear blooms

RAFAEL MALDONADO / NEWS-PRESS PHOTOS

The beautiful blossoms of the evergreen pear tree are budding this month across Santa Barbara County.

he delicate white flowers of the evergreen pear tree are in bloom across Santa Barbara County this month, providing fresh hope that spring is right around the corner. The tree is native to Taiwan and is called “evergreen” because it does not have a long dormant period, unlike common pear trees. It retains its shiny leaves year-round, according to Santa Barbara Beautiful. The trees can be seen in bloom along streets in Solvang, Goleta and Santa Barbara. For more information on local flora, visit sbbeautiful.org.

When the wind blows, the sidewalks across Santa Barbara County get a fresh dusting of white petals.

A woman rides her bike under a row of evergreen pear trees off to the side of Hollister Avenue in Goleta.

Garden Street in downtown Santa Barbara is overshadowed by hundreds of blooming white flowers on the trees.

The trees line the intersection of Garden and Micheltorena streets in Santa Barbara.

Greener pastures

Clouds in the distance cast shadows along the hills of Farren Road in Goleta Saturday.

inter precipitation is nourishing vegetation along Farren Road. This water year (which began Sept. 1), 7.79 inches of rain has descended upon Goleta’s soil. And as the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, the ground can quench its thirst. The hills look greener this time of year as vegetation thrives. You can see that as you drive on Farren Road in Goleta. It’s a picturesque scene as jade grasses contrast the auburn mountains in the distance.

ll bad things in life start with a lie. Perhaps it’s one of the lies you tell yourself, like “I’m not good enough.” That lie can hold you back from many things. Then there are the lies others tell you to manipulate their way to getting what they want. That may cost you some money, time and heartache, but you do recover and learn. Perhaps the most devastating is a lie that someone completely makes up to hurt you or try to ruin your life. Of course, there are now more people than ever, nearly half the country, who believe that lying to get what you want, be it power, money or revenge, is now the way of the world and perfectly acceptable. That woman who attacked the young black man in New York after falsely accusing him of stealing her iPhone is saying he attacked her — even though the truth is all on video. And there are people, mostly racist people, who believe her because they want to. It is a mistake to think that any belief has ultimate power over the truth. But some beliefs may get so popular and be shared by so many people that they can cause an uprising and make things horrible for the rest of us. Lying comes from selfishness. Any liar wants what they want, and they don’t care who they have to hurt to get it. And if it’s someone they are mad at, so much the better. Are you feeling what I’m saying here? Because if you are, then it has happened to you, and the pain is a lot harder to get rid of than a bad habit. Unfortunately, the cultural lies that people tell themselves happen globally as well as in the schoolyard or on the job. On top of that, the personal lies that people spread about others can make life hell. When your value system is called into question and you fear how this will make you look to the people in your world, it can be crazy. You can’t stop other people from saying what they want. Sure, you can threaten to sue, but the damage has been done, and unless you’re a star with a bankroll, it won’t go anywhere. I have watched good lives get put on hold because someone told a lie. I have seen people put in jail because of a lie that someone they were married to told. I have held the hands of a kind-hearted dying man who only wanted to know the truth about why his children were turned against him. He thought making a fortune for his family would keep them closer, not tear them apart with fabrications about who did what to whom. Lies only hurt. Let’s remember that. Let’s not forget the damage that can be done, and maybe we will all get to live better lives, even though we are sharing a very difficult time. Lies are always uncovered. Always. That may not help you right now, but it is something to hold onto.

“Family is the most important thing in the world.” — Princess Diana

Libra

In your privacy zone, the sun is shining on past wounds that haven’t been mended. As the weekend approaches, know that Mercury turning direct will help your friendships. Trust your intuition over the weekend.

The sun enters your routine sector, Libra. So, with the sun in Pisces, your routine might become unpredictable. Thankfully, Mercury goes direct in your pleasure zone, so you’ll have the ability to let off some steam if things don’t go as planned.

Taurus

Being a Taurus, you love a good, loyal friend. With the sun entering your friendship zone, you’re bound to have a great friend week. Make sure you’re taking time for yourself as well this week. Over the weekend, Mars enters your sign, which is clashing with Venus.

Scorpio

Gemini

Be rebellious this week, Sagittarius. Jupiter squares Uranus this week, which is challenging you to go against the grain. You may want to take on extra responsibility with family as well. Things will ease up over the weekend, when Mercury turns direct.

The sun is moving into your career sector, so big things are happening, Gemini! This is the best time to make your dreams a reality. Mars in Taurus is squaring Venus in Aquarius, which is causing some tension in your relationships.

Your inner artist is reaching big heights, Scorpio. With Venus and Mars making a square, there’s some drama at home with family. Once Mercury goes direct, you’ll be able to share your feelings in the right way. Sagittarius

Cancer

Capricorn

The sun is moving into your philosophy zone, making you more curious and thoughtful. With Venus and Mars making a square on Friday, the best way to lean into the energy is to avoid worrying about what others think. Focus on letting go, Cancer.

The sun moves into your communication sector, asking you to express how you think and feel to others. This gets especially easy once Mercury turns direct this weekend, Capricorn. This planet will be direct in your worth sector— asking you to reconsider your value.

Leo

The sun moves into your intimacy zone this week, Leo. What’s even better is that Mercury is going direct in your relationship zone. Ceres enters your sector of philosophy, which asks you to explore learning further. Virgo

When Venus and Mars get into a fight on Friday, you’ll want to keep your distance from your loved one. But once Mercury goes direct on Saturday, your routine is bound to get a boost. Finally, things will go right, Virgo.

With many planets in Aquarius, you’re feeling yourself. Jupiter and Uranus make a square that makes you want to do something unpredictable. But try to see things from different points of view before leaping forward.

2021 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Codeword is a fun game with simple rules, and a great way to test your knowledge of the English language. Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

Warriors get their golf seasons underway

KENNETH SONG / NEWS-PRESS

Westmont men’s and women’s golf opened their respective seasons on Monday at the Sea Beggars Invitational in Pasadena. The two-day event is hosted by Providence Christian College and played at the Brookside Golf Course, adjacent to the Rose Bowl. “Brookside is a tough course,” said Westmont head coach Tom Knecht. “It is long and the greens are running really fast. It was a difficult course.” After the first round, the Warrior women stand in fifth place, while the men are in sixth. Kat Bevill and Drew Thompson paced the Westmont women, as each shot a team-best 93. On the men’s side, Trevor White led the Warriors with a 79. Mason Mancasola was next with an 84 followed by a pair of 87s from Tom Ridd and Hunter Shumake “The thing for us that was so exciting was a chance to get to play,” Knecht said. “This is something we thought a couple of months ago might not happen. The fact that we were out playing golf was super exciting. We didn’t play the way we wanted to. We could have shaved off a bunch of strokes, but given the fact that this is our first tournament back, we feel blessed just to get to play.” Normally the men’s teams will play 36 holes on the first day, but COVID-19 regulations made that an impossibility. “Los Angeles County won’t allow a shotgun start, so we had to go with tee times,” Knecht said. “With that format, there is no way we can get in 36 holes.” Nonetheless, the Warriors are happy to be competing against someone other than their teammates, whom they see every day in practice. “It is so fortunate that in the sport we play it is easy to socially distance and that it is outside,” said Knecht. The Warriors will finish the Sea Beggars Invitational today with another 18 holes before heading back to Montecito.

The sun sets adjacent to a trio of oil rigs, as seen from the hills of Goleta Saturday.
