Montecito’s Renaissance Dining increases at Coast Village Road restaurants

Newsom announces stimulus payments By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Gov. Gavin Newsom announced an additional round of $600 stimulus payments as part of his economic recovery plan during a news conference Monday morning. The funds are coming from higherthan-expected tax revenues, which Gov. Newsom lauded as a $75.7 billion surplus. Households with $75,000 in gross income are eligible for the payments, and families with children receive an additional $500. Gov. Newsom estimated 78-80% of tax filers will be eligible, a much larger percentage than the first round of the Golden State Stimulus program. (The first payments, signed into law late February, only reached those making less than $30,000 per year.) “While that (first payment) was Please see STIMULUS on A2

Guests enjoy an evening dinner at Lucky’s, a Montecito restaurant that is seeing large number of of customers. Owner Gene Montesano said, “I think Coast Village Road is on fire.”

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Restaurants on Coast Village Road are back to business, and customers are back to dining in person. After more than a year of constant changes and pivots, eateries such as Tre Lune, Lucky’s and Ca’Dario are again seeing crowded weekends and bustling weekdays. Gene Montesano is the owner of a myriad of businesses in Montecito and Santa Barbara including Tre Lune Restaurant, Lucky’s Steakhouse, Joe’s Cafe, Lucky Brand Jeans, D’Angelo Bakery, Bucatini Restaurant and more. He told the NewsPress that people are loving the closure of State Street to vehicular traffic as well as the outdoor dining adaptations. And, Mr. Montesano said, the numbers prove it. “It’s like a Renaissance, which I predicted would happen,” he said. He described both Tre Lune and Lucky’s as “on fire” with the numbers of customers showing up, and Tre Lune is back to pre-COVID numbers and even exceeding them on some nights. “I think a lot of it has to do with outside dining that we’ve been able to do with the parklets,” Mr. Montesano said. “I hope that we can keep them because if we can, I don’t see why business would slow down, Please see MONTECITO on A4

The Santa Barbara City Council accepted the Parks and Recreation Department’s proposed budget for the 2022 fiscal year. The department addressed tight city funds by leaving positions vacant. The parks division budget is nearly $8.5 million, and recreation requires $7.8 million. Operating the parks is the largest expense, at $6.3 million, followed by aquatics, at $1.8 million. The department raises $1.5 million in parks revenue and $4.1 million from recreation, gathered through various fees and events. The largest objection to the budget was not an expense but a lack thereof. Public comments and council members questioned the reduction in staffing. Kathy McGill, vice chair of the Parks and Recreation Commission, voiced concerns that youth are “being left out Please see BUDGET on A2

Pfizer vaccine approved for youth 12-15 Santa Barbara County confirms six COVID-19 cases By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The FDA expanded its emergency-use authorization of the Pfizer-manufactured COVID19 vaccine Monday to include youth 12-15 years of age. The vaccine had previously been approved for those 16 and older. The Pfizer vaccine is the only kind approved for people under 18 years of age. The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department detected just six COVID-19 cases Monday. The

number of active cases is down to 84 cases across the county, 38% below a two-week average. A cumulative 34,323 COVID-19 cases have been recorded in the county. Just two areas are known to have reported cases Monday: Lompoc and Santa Maria. Lompoc confirmed three new cases, increasing its total to 3,798 cases. It has the most active cases, with 24 cases still infectious. Santa Maria counted two cases. It has 11,541 total cases of which 17 are still infectious.

The geographic location of one of Monday’s cases is pending. Santa Barbara County hospitals are treating 13 patients with

COVID-19, and none of those are in critical condition. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

FYI Santa Barbara County Public Health will be offering COVID-19 vaccines from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at St. Joseph Church in Carpinteria, located at 1500 Linden Ave. The clinic will be administering the two-dose Moderna vaccine, and second appointments will be automatically scheduled for June 26.

Swell Energy offers programs for renewable power sources NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Swell Energy Inc., an advanced energy and grid solutions provider, is offering new opportunities for Southern California Edison customers to enroll in its two clean energy Virtual Power Plants. The goal is to further incentivize the transition to renewable and reliable power sources. The VPP programs are available to SCE customers in Santa Barbara County neighborhoods who are interested in installing solar-powered home batteries and joining Swell’s neighborhood Virtual Power Plants. Swell offers customers home batteries for a low fixed monthly payment and a second home battery at a reduced price when choosing Swell financing and joining the VPP program. With this opportunity, customers and their communities can achieve greater resiliency and benefits from onsite backup power and help the

grid by reducing demand for electricity at key times, according to a news release. VPPs offer a way for homeowners, business owners and utilities to collectively meet today’s shifting energy needs by unlocking the potential of solar energy stored in an onsite battery. Owners can draw down stored energy when electricity is most expensive and reserve solar energy in case of a power outage. Participants in Swell’s Southern California VPP programs further benefit by earning GridRevenue when consuming their stored energy in the evenings, providing much needed relief to the grid during peak times. “In SCE’s service area, our VPPs shift solar power consumption to peak demand periods en masse. By doing so, these programs provide the savings and energy security homeowners and businesses want, while increasing the local grid’s flexibility and resilience,” said Suleman Khan, CEO of Swell Energy. “Swell VPPs ensure homeowners receive the maximum value from their home battery

and that utility VPP sponsors and adopters benefit from a large fleet of strategically placed batteries. Our ongoing energy programs with SCE are great models for the future of our electric grid in general.” Swell’s VPP program in Santa Barbara County was developed in response to Senate Bill 801, which directed SCE to deploy energy storage to help regions affected by the partial shutdown of the Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility. The VPP will help the utility manage load, increasing reliability and replacing grid-stabilizing functions formerly provided by the gas facility. SCE awarded the VPP program as part of SCE’s Aliso Canyon Energy Storage procurement program. For more information, go to www. swellenergy.com/805.

Newsom pledges more rent, utility assistance STIMULUS

important, it is also important to recognize that we needed to provide direct relief to people in the middle class,” he said. Gov. Newsom also pledged an additional $2.6 billion in rental support (on top of his prior $2.6 billion) to address unpaid rent. “We’re very mindful that the stimulus alone of $600, $500 for families with children, those I-10 filers, is not enough to address the stress, the anxiety over the course of the last year plus of this pandemic-induced recession,” he said. “And that’s why today we will be announcing our desire, our plan to double the rental assistance in the state of California with the goal of getting 100% of all the back rent paid.” In addition to rent, he budgeted $2 billion

in direct relief for utility bills, with $1 billion dedicated to water. “We believe that people are better suited than ourselves on how best to use these dollars. And that’s why we want to get money into people’s pockets as quickly as possible, and we want folks to know that these resources are coming,” Gov. Newsom said. This time last year, state officials predicted a $54.3 billion shortfall, but tax revenue soared as the state’s richest residents continued to thrive. “This is all on the basis of the recovery that California is already experiencing,” the governor said. “It’s on the basis of the revenue that’s coming in historic terms in the state of California, and that’s because we are defeating and we are successfully applying strategies to address this pandemic.” The plan will head to the state legislature Friday, and lawmakers have until June 15 to

pass the budget. “This is just the first of many announcements this week across the spectrum that amplify the narrative of this state truly roaring back,” he said. Prompted by a reporter’s question, Gov. Newsom said he plans to let language allotting for distance learning to expire this summer. “On June 30 at midnight, I anticipate (the distance learning allowance) will lapse and everybody should be back in the fall for inperson instruction safely and, in fact, our budget will reflect even more support than the previous support that has been provided for health and safety,” he said. Gov. Newsom is holding press briefings daily through Thursday, highlighting sections of his proposed budget.

Continued from Page A1 at a vulnerable time” because parks are not optimally staffed and funded. Beebe Longstreet, who spent years on the commission as well as a commissioner, echoed Ms. McGill’s complaint. She noted that water and employee costs, which get more expensive yearly, have not been raised proportionally in the budget. “We spend a lot of focus on the downtown and business sectors… but it’s only part of the picture,” she told the City Council. She suggested reducing the city police budget in an effort to raise park and recreation funds. “These are the programs you control, and you find. It’s not about taking money away from police, it’s about putting money where we want it,” she said. “We can’t police our way out of our youth violence problem, we have to guide them and love them.” Darryl Scheck, executive director of the local chapter of Service Employees International Union, said existing employees are taking on extra work for every vacancy that isn’t filled. “The budgets have primarily been balanced on the backs of existing employees,” he said. When councilmembers inquired about the staffing, City Administrator Paul Casey shut down the possibility to fund more employees. He explained the department would have to layoff staff members if it hired new

In her presentation, Jill Zachary, parks and recreation director, suggested $1.2 billion in capital improvements be spent over the next five years. General fund and grant money would pay for the expenses. Two projects coming up in the next two fiscal years garnered concern in public comments — primarily Ortega Park’s renovation. The existing designs for Ortega Park include tearing down structures with murals depicting Chicano culture and history. Community members have previously addressed the City Council with their concerns in a meeting late April. Mayor Cathy Murillo asked what it would entail to preserve the murals. The problem with the murals is the buildings they’re on, Ms. Zachary noted. The buildings were not reinforced during construction and will worsen over time. “Working closely with the community and the original mural artist, we hope to come to a consensus,” she said. Another project of note is the West Beach Splash Playground, which Ms. Zachary planned for the 2023 fiscal year. Previous objections to the splash playground may have squashed the idea, but the department still hopes to install a family-friendly feature.

ATHLETIC ROUND TABLE PRESS LUNCHEON

Rinaldi dashes two records for Carpinteria High track By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Vincent Rinaldi is saving his best finishing kick for the track and not the soccer field. Carpinteria High’s two-sport star decided to concentrate on running this year and it paid off last weekend when he set school records in both the 100 and 200 meters at the Warriors’ own 101st annual Russell Cup. The Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table honored his achievements on Monday with its Male Athlete of the Week Award. “He’s healthy this year, that’s the big key,” coach Van Latham said during Monday’s press luncheon at the Creekside Restaurant. “He’s always been fast but we’ve had trouble keeping him healthy. Part of it was he decided this year that he was going to focus on track. He didn’t play soccer. “He started training with John Larralde, who just does an amazing job coaching our athletes, back in September.” Rinaldi’s 100-meter time of 10.87 broke Wyatt Stevenson’s school record of 10.94. He beat his own 200 mark of 22.05 with a winning time of 21.87. His efforts earned him the Outstanding Athlete of the Meet Award while leading the Warriors to their first Russell Cup championships since 1999. “During the fall we were on full lockdown — our campus was closed during the day — so Vincent would show up at the track by himself at 5 in the morning and train,” Latham pointed out. “That kind of dedication has really paid off.”

Carpinteria High’s twosport star decided to concentrate on running this year and it paid off last weekend when he set school records in both the 100 and 200 meters.

San Marcos High’s Natasha Gill, who defeated Santa Barbara’s Sophia Ostovany all throughout her freshman year, had the tables turned on her this year by the Dons’ star. “Sophie stepped it up this year and was pretty flawless,” San Marcos coach Jonny Sapp said. “But Natasha learned from her losses and took it to another gear.” Gill handed Ostovany her first defeat of the season in this year’s championship match, 6-1, 7-6 (73). The Round Table honored her with its female Athlete of the Week Award. The Royals also came on strong in Channel League team play, moving up from fourth place to win last week’s three-way playoff for second place with Dos Pueblos and Santa Ynez. Freshman Jolie Mardiat made a big difference after being moved from doubles to singles. “We couldn’t have done it without her stepping up in the third position,” Sapp said.

himself, who also runs the water polo program. Bartholomew is one of his top female sprinters — “She’s made CIF consideration time already in the 50 and the 100, and in the relays,” he said — while Martinez do Amaral has already made it onto the international stage. “She got an opportunity to play with the Brazilian Olympic team in a tournament,” Walsh pointed out. “We get to watch her play next year for UCSB.” He noted that Hayes “is another future Gaucho” water polo player. He and Blix, who helped lead Santa Barbara to a CIF water polo championship in the fall of 2019, decided to keep treading water in the springtime. “Not all the guys who play water polo love swimming a lot,” Walsh said. “These guys come to all our meets and are role models and leaders.” San Marcos girls coach Chuckie Roth said Sophia Panossian’s “passion to get better” has made her one of San Marcos’ fastestimproving athletes in both swimming and water polo. Abbie Mintz, a gymnast for nine years, has emerged as “one of the better divers in the Channel League” while Holly Woodhouse has become “one of the most versatile swimmers in the Channel League,” he added. Diving coach Mike Martz has also been developing Noah Block into a standout diver on the boys team. “Noah brings an amazing skill set to the program,” coach Peera Sukavivatanachai said. He’s also high on Asher Streelman (200 IM and 100 fly) and Peter Frisell (freestyle sprints). “We’re truly blessed to have such a positive force on the team,” he said. The Royals will play host to Dos Pueblos in a Channel League showdown on Thursday. DP coach Kendall Kuga is excited to see how her undefeated swimmer, Andrea Bish, will stack up against the Royals. “I hope she gets some good competition so she’ll get a really strong time for both her sets,” she said.

BOYS TENNIS

PREP BASEBALL

San Marcos’ Masato Perera competed in a USTA Level 1 Tournament in Indiana last week, forcing him to pass on defending his Channel League boys singles title. The torch was passed on, however, to freshman teammate Jed Greenwald, and he carried it well to keep the crown in the Royals’ family for the seventh straight year. “Jed is 22-1 on the year and probably the smartest tennis player I’ve ever coached,” coach Jarrod Bradley said. “He just knows how to put points together.” Another smart (4.89 GPA) and graceful athlete — two-sport star Ronin Suzuki off the soccer team — helped the Royals win the Channel League team tennis title. “He was a Channel League semifinalist for us and a big reason why we haven’t lost since the quarterfinals in 2019,” Bradley said. “We are 11-0 this year, we were 7-0 pre-pandemic last year, and we were 22-1 a year before that.”

Ryan Speshyock, the first freshman to start for Dos Pueblos coach George Hedricks, has taken big strides as a sophomore pitcher, striking out 17 in a one-hit shutout of Santa Ynez last week. “We had a lot of seniors last year and I think it helped mature him a lot and get him ready for this year where he’s taken on a much bigger role,” he said. The Chargers, 12-5 overall and 7-2 in the Channel League, have a chance to catch first-place Santa Barbara when they play the Dons twice this week. San Marcos (13-3, 7-2) split its two games with Santa Barbara last week. Sophomore Cole Schoenwetter allowed no earned runs “and touched 90 (mph) twice” in his pitching stint in Wednesday’s loss, coach Wes Ghan-Gibson said. Junior Nathaniel Lynk, who keyed Friday’s win with a two-run single, “is one of the top defenders in our league … I can’t get him to stop taking ground balls or hitting in the cage after practice,” GhanGibson added.

GIRLS TENNIS

PREP SWIMMING Santa Barbara swimming coach Mark Walsh introduced four of his own two-sport athletes: Allison Bartholomew, JuJu Martinez do Amaral, Jordan Hayes and Bronson Blix. “I’m very lucky that their other coach is willing to share them with me,” he said through a sheepish smile.

to all the athletes that are playing two sports at this time and the sacrifices they’re making for their teams,” coach Mike Gerken said. “And they’re both integral parts of both teams.” Freshman Kamilah Morales is doing double-duty at San Marcos, playing both soccer and softball. She has been batting leadoff for the latter team. “She also plays club soccer and club softball, so she’s on four teams right now,” coach Jeff Swann said. Junior Izabella Velasquez has been starting since her freshman year and is now “one of our team captains” and “playing with confidence.” Lily Simolon’s teammates at Bishop Diego showed the highest confidence in star outfielder Lily Simolon while she attempted an acrobatic catch against Foothill Tech. “She sprinted to the front, dove, rolled … We were all in the dugout because we knew Lily would catch it,” coach Al Cerda said. He added that Jenna Hayes, his workhorse catcher, has those same star qualities. “We love her when she’s out there shagging balls, she just catches everything,” Cerda said.

BOYS VOLLEYBALL Two setters are better than one at San Marcos, where coach Roger Kuntz has sophomore Hansen Streeter and Colin Earls sharing the duties in the Royals’ 6-2 alignment. “These guys have been fighting for the position,” he said. “He had enough height to complement both of them, so each one comes into the back row and run our offense for us.” They’ve been feeding 6-5 junior middle Aiden Pazier. “He’s our most effective hitter so far,” Kuntz said. “He grew like a weed the last couple of years and has really been just chewing on volleyballs.” email: mpatton@newspress.com

Gomes’ enthusiasm. “I think Coast Village Road is on fire. People love it.

I’m hearing that from lots of other businesses where they’re able to do that.” While Ca’Dario’s Coast Village Road location opened quietly during April 2020, customers who frequented the other locations in Santa Barbara and Goleta are showing up to support the new Italian restaurant on Coast Village Road. “We’ve been blessed with a lot of return customers, generally local people that have really been the backbone of our business since we opened,” Fernando Gomes, the general manager of the Coast Village Road Ca’Dario, told the News-Press. The manager said it’s not only the weekend and dinner crowds coming back, but even the early afternoon lunch crowds too. And with a greater seating capacity outdoors than indoors, most people prefer to dine outdoors. “(But) it’s a funny proposition — some people insist on indoors, and other people are insulted at the mere suggestion (of indoor seating),” Mr. Gomes said. “You can’t win sometimes, but for the most part, we’re able to accommodate both.” Meanwhile, it’s more seats the merrier at Mr. Montesano’s establishments compared to preCOVID times. “Our regulars have more seating so now you have more people coming to fill more seats,”

Local therapists say some spirits are lifting with COVID-19 restrictions, but note hesitancy is OK By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

ome COVID-19 restrictions are lifting in Santa Barbara County, and according to local mental health care providers, so are some people’s spirits, just in time for Mental Health Awareness Month. Others, though, are feeling anxious at the thought of returning to normal life. Many have become comfortable with their pandemic routines, and disruption of those routines on top of the uncertainty of the pandemic’s future path could very well be stressors in many residents’ lives. “I’m absolutely convinced that people are happy to be able to get out and do things, but I think there’s also some fear of, ‘Is it safe to return to normal? And should we be?’ ” Annmarie Cameron, CEO of the Santa Barbara Mental Wellness Center, told the NewsPress. “Whether sites are opening or schools are going to go back are still questions people don’t know the answers to. “What resolves anxiety in people is the ability to plan and know what your options are and to make informed choices, and we still don’t have enough information to feel like we can do that for ourselves.”

A CDC report surveyed adults across the U.S. in late June of 2020, and 31% of respondents reported symptoms of anxiety or depression; 13% reported having started or increased substance use; 26% reported stress-related symptoms; and 11% reported having serious thoughts of suicide in the past 30 days. These numbers nearly double the rates expected before the pandemic, and the study showed that risk factors for reporting anxiety symptoms or suicidal ideation included food insufficiency, financial concerns and loneliness. The CEO of the Wellness Center added that the pressure to return to the pace of pre-pandemic life, which may have been 100 miles an hour for some people, could be a turnoff for introverts or people who prefer the slower pace of working from home or staying in at night. Plus, community members are still feeling the impacts of the isolation, and many are feeling the impacts still of contracting the virus. “For some, on a range from being on ventilators to just the shock of being positive (for COVID-19) or losing taste or smell, the impact of any kind of traumatic event differs from person to person,” Suzanne Grimmesey, spokesperson for the county’s Department of Behavioral Wellness, told the News-Press.

At left, “I’m absolutely convinced that people are happy to be able to get out and do things, but I think there’s also some fear of, ‘Is it safe to return to normal? And should we be?’” said Annmarie Cameron, CEO of the Santa Barbara Mental Wellness Center. At right, Suzanne Grimmesey, spokesperson for the county’s Department of Behavioral Wellness, said the impact of any traumatic event can vary from person to person.

“What’s most important for the impact for the longer term has to do with their experience of the event. If somebody had developed those symptoms and during it they were surrounded by support and information and guidance, that’s going to be very different than someone who had the exact same experience, but maybe they’re an older adult living isolated.”

Dr. Barton Goldsmith, an awardwinning psychotherapist and News-Press columnist, said he himself is still feeling the impacts of the virus. “Having personally experienced the loss of taste and smell, that really changes your outlook on life,” he told the News-Press. “It really does eliminate an area of joy and satisfaction. That being

said, it’s getting better over time and hopefully that will be the case with most people, but that’s a tough thing to give up.” According to Dr. Paul Erickson, the medical director for psychiatry and addiction medicine at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, about a quarter to a third of COVID survivors develop “Long COVID” — mental health symptoms that last weeks, sometimes months. “Anxiety and depression are the most common symptoms,” Dr. Erickson told the NewsPress. “A small number of Long COVID patients develop new psychotic symptoms such as auditory hallucinations, paranoia and delusions, even with no history of mental illness. The course of illness for Long COVID patients and recovery is not well understood. Many describe severe fatigue, ‘brain fog,’ and other physical symptoms in addition to anxiety and depression.” The doctor said he’s seen a few common themes over the course of the pandemic: individuals with preexisting mental health conditions being deeply affected by symptoms; alcohol and substance users relapsing; people feeling sadness and grief unable to see loved ones in person; and lack of social support, daily structure and routine leading to boredom, frustration and sometimes anxiety and depression,

among many others. “Throughout the pandemic, frontline healthcare workers and essential workers have practiced extra precautions to protect against COVID, have endured chronic stress and in some cases have developed post-traumatic stress disorder,” Dr. Erickson said. “It’s important to remember, though, that human beings are resilient, and most people are recovered or will recover from these temporary mental health symptoms.” Dr. Goldsmith said he went from only seeing a handful of clients prepandemic to being fully booked up since then, and 10% of his clients are COVID long haulers, still suffering from impacts after a long bout of the virus. He recently saw his first client back in person, but said many still prefer virtual therapy sessions. “I think that we’re going through another year of this, and it’s not really going to be over. Even though it‘s over, it’s not over. People are listening to what’s going on in the world now,” Mr. Goldsmith said. “There’s so many things to worry about that overall, people are saying, ‘I can’t contain this all myself. I can’t hold all of this in myself. I need to see a therapist,’ and that’s OK to see a therapist because it’s acceptable now, Please see WELLNESS on B2

Spirits will lift as more barriers to connections between friends and family are removed, said Annmarie Cameron, CEO of the Santa Barbara Mental Wellness Center. But she noted it’s OK to tell others if you don’t feel ready yet to resume pre-pandemic life. At right, friends enjoy dinner at Butterfly Beach Sunday. Local experts recommend a gradual return to ordinary life at a pace individuals choose themselves.

Santa Maria celebrates Water Awareness Month By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Santa Maria Utilities Department, along with other water agencies within Santa Barbara County, is observing the month of May as Water Awareness Month. Water Awareness Month educates Californians on water issues and encourages wise use of water resources. Santa Maria residents can receive up to two new low-flow showerheads in exchange for turning in their old showerheads. City residents (verification required) can visit 2065 E. Main St. from 1 to 4 p.m. weekdays to complete the no-contact exchange through May. Participating

residents will also receive a water conservation kit (one per household while supplies last). Here are outdoor conservation tips from the city of Santa Maria: • Plant drought-tolerant or drought-resistant plants and trees. • Replace grass/turf with waterwise plants. • Recycle indoor water by using it on plants. • Refrain from watering landscapes for 48 hours after rainfall. • Use a broom to clean driveways, patios and sidewalks instead of a hose. • Water outdoor landscapes in the early morning to prevent evaporation. Residents are also encouraged

to evaluate their homes to see how they can help conserve water, and in doing so, also save money. Here are the city of Santa Maria’s indoor conservation tips: • Install water-saving devices, such as low-flow showerheads, high-efficiency toilets and kitchen and bathroom faucet aerators. • Reduce showers by two minutes and save five gallons of water. • Turn water off while brushing teeth and save three gallons of water. • Fix leaky faucets and save up to 20 gallons of water per day. For more information, call the Utilities Department at 805-9250951, ext. 7270. email: mcmahon@newspress.com.

‘Terrarium in a Jar’ workshop planned SANTA MARIA — A “Terrarium in a Jar” workshop via Zoom at 3 p.m. May 26 will be sponsored by the Santa Maria Public Library. Participants will learn how to create and maintain a miniature ecosystem in a jar, using the materials in an activity kit. The demonstration will also provide examples of creative decorations to adorn terrariums.

Each kit contains a recycled jar, soil, moss and one small succulent. This program is open to adults. A limited number of “Terrarium in a Jar” kits will be available to pick-up at no charge, at the Main Library from Monday through May 22 during regular library hours. The current Grab and Go hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays

and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays. Registration is required on the events calendar at www. cityofsantamaria.org/library or by calling the library at 805-9250994. The limit is one kit per household. For more information, call the library Information Desk at 805925-0994, ext. 8562. — Marilyn McMahon

Finding new opportunities when the world has changed

hese days, it’s pretty easy to get caught up thinking about lost opportunities. During the pandemic, you may have been unable to move your life forward the way you’d like — and been unable to see the gains you may have made. This can set you up for a difficult time emotionally. It’s hard when you see that the 664 billionaires in the country have made billions more, thanks to the pandemic. Or maybe you’ve read that new businesses have started up (although many more have closed), and cannabis farms can’t keep up with the demand. Meanwhile, you are doing online business calls or Zoom meetings and are feeling a bit behind Elon Musk. Sometimes dissatisfaction with yourself can actually be a good thing. After all, if you’re never dissatisfied, why would you be motivated to change or do better? But in this case, it amounts to just being too hard on yourself. You may fail to see what you actually have accomplished, and that’s no good for you or anyone else. If you’ve been feeling held back and are frustrated or dissatisfied with yourself, the first step toward getting better is to recognize

These are the hardcover bestsellers for the week ending April 24, as listed by The New York Times.

making other plans.” Being a therapist is my gift, and I have been using it almost daily — and this has filled any gaps that I thought were occurring in my life. OK, opening for John Legend might be off the table for now, but I honestly get more from helping someone out of their personal pain than I do from being on stage. I believe in the right livelihood, which means that if you are doing the right thing, everything else falls into place. Even though life is harder now, if you have been able to keep afloat in this storm, you are doing well, and acknowledging it will make you feel better. Putting our dreams on hold is just that — they’re on hold. There will be other opportunities. So don’t get down on yourself because the virus messed things up for you; almost all of us are in a similar place. The new goal now is to keep doing whatever is working for you and stay safe until it’s over. Barton Goldsmith, Ph.D., LMFT, is an award-winning therapist and writer. He is a columnist, blogger and the author of seven books, including “Visualization For Success — 75 Psychological Empowerment Exercises To Get You What You Want In Life.” Reach him at barton@bartongoldsmith. com.

what’s going on here. First off, it’s mostly the feeling itself that holds you back. You enjoy life less, your creativity is stifled, and you can get into a grumpy mood or even experience depression. None of this is good, most especially for the people around you. It also makes moving to the next level a lot harder. You’re not alone, and I speak from experience here. Last year, I had a huge and very fun deal ready to go, which the pandemic took away. I had a new book come out, which did OK, but OK is just OK. And I wanted more than that. Added to that, every speaking gig and social event in my world was canceled, which made me feel like I was being held back from the things I loved most. Others out there were still doing their thing, and I was no longer doing mine. But was this actually the case? When the pandemic started, I made room for new clients, and I’ve been busy. Even though I’ve lost out on some things, the work I am doing is valuable and valued by those who receive it. That knowledge helps me feel that things not going how I wanted has maybe been for the best—at least, for now. As John Lennon said, “Life is what happens when you are

finally.” However, the experts recommended a gradual return to ordinary life at a pace individuals choose themselves, and for those eager to get back to traveling and in-person socializing — flexibility. “Nobody has to rush back to things just because we’re moving in that direction,” Ms. Grimmesey said. “People can take it slow, and people should continue to exercise self care and get support when needed … We’re building resiliency through this, as we have before. I’m hopeful our end result is going to be an even stronger community, but people have definitely been impacted.”

Diversions horoscope • puzzles

ARIES — Too many invitations to social events may come today, Aries. This might be one evening when you want to relax at home, but you won’t want to say no to anyone. Analyze each invitation. Consider the location, host, other guests - whatever seems most significant to you. Attend only the ones you think you will really enjoy. Follow your heart. TAURUS — Today you might work on your spiritual practice or studies, Taurus. You could read a book on the subject, attend a lecture, or practice some kind of discipline such as yoga or meditation. The only caveat is don’t try to do too much at once. You could tire yourself out. Concentrate on one thing at a time. The information will still be there tomorrow! GEMINI — Physical pleasure may be at the top of your priority list today, Gemini. You might want to go to your favorite restaurant and have a great meal, including wine, appetizers, and dessert. Or you might feel especially energetic and want to take your partner for a complete spa treatment. Whatever your desires, exercise some restraint You can get too much of a good thing! CANCER — Love matters may prove too intense today, Cancer. You may be having a rough week. Your partner may be especially demanding of your time and energy. This might be a good day to schedule some time alone. Go for a massage, sauna, or hot tub - by yourself - and simply relax. That way you will be more refreshed when you meet with your beloved in the evening. LEO — You’ve been hoping for a quiet day on the job, Leo, but too many calls could come your way. You might have to juggle several at once. Don’t try to deal with every problem. Exercise your triage abilities and take care of the most pressing first. Let the others go, if necessary. You aren’t doing anyone any favors by getting too distracted. Even you can be less than thorough when overwhelmed. VIRGO — Were you planning to go shopping today, Virgo? If you can, put it off until tomorrow. You could be tempted by too many items that seem wonderful in the store but are nothing but a bother once you get them home. If you must go, make the effort to bypass shops where you might fall into this trap. You don’t want to have to make a second trip to bring back

returns. LIBRA — You look especially attractive today, Libra, and it’s doing wonders for your selfesteem. Even members of your household notice. But you probably feel more like staying in than going out. If you want a romantic partner to notice how you look, it might be a good idea to extend an invitation to visit your home. You will get to stay in and still be admired by the one you love the most! SCORPIO — Today, Scorpio, you might want to make an unqualified declaration of love. That’s fine if you’ve been involved for a while, although you could overwhelm your partner. If the relationship is new, beware! This could feel like too much too soon. Your friend could respond by backing away or even disappearing. Use restraint or you might have the opposite effect to the one you want. SAGITTARIUS — A friend may offer you a gift today, Sagittarius. It could involve money, favors, time, items you need, or something else. Be discriminating about what you accept, and make sure you offer to reciprocate. Insist, if you must. As generous as your friend may be now, later he or she could feel used or else call in some favors that you aren’t willing to perform. Accept graciously, within limitations. CAPRICORN — The temptation to take center stage might be too strong to resist, Capricorn. Someone may ask you to tell a story. Your gift with words and vivid imagination should serve you well. Keep it brief. If you go on too long, your friends could fidget. Time your performance by watching their expressions. Do it right and you will be asked to do it again. AQUARIUS — A gathering could bring you lots of good news and useful information, Aquarius. The problem is that there might be too much. You will want to remember it all, but your memory may not be as sharp as usual. Before you attend a gathering, grab a notebook and pen. That way you can write down whatever you want to look into later. PISCES — You generally enjoy your dreams, Pisces, both the dreaming process and analyzing them later. But tonight you might have too many to keep track of. While you will probably recall the most significant ones, it may be frustrating if you forget any of them. This might be the day to start a dream diary, if you don’t have one. Have fun!

CODEWORD PUZZLE

SUDOKU

Thought for Today

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.
