Amy Coney Barrett confirmed to Supreme Court By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The United States Senate confirmed Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court on Monday with a 52-48 partisan vote, Republicans the majority. When speaking with local Republicans and Democrats regarding Justice Barrett’s confirmation, the opinions were predictably as divided as the votes that confirmed the 115th supreme court justice. Santa Barbara County Republican chairwoman Bobbi McGinnis praised Justice Barrett for an “excellent” performance throughout her hearings and is optimistic that she will fulfill the duties of a Supreme Court Justice without legislating from the bench. “I think she’s going to be a constitutional

Supreme Court judge and I think she’s going to be an asset to our country,” she said. “We don’t want the supreme court to be creating law.” Local Republican and Coalition of Labor, Agriculture and Business executive director Andy Caldwell said he likes Justice Barrett’s originalist judicial philosophy on the grounds that “changing the constitution without amending it is in violation of the spirit and letter of the constitution.” He added, “It certainly can be amended, it’s been amended dozens of times via the prescribed manner of the law. To change it any other way by judicial fiat violates the basic tenants of the constitution and that of our constitutional republic.” Mr. Caldwell also accused the Democrats for viewing the Supreme Court “through a partisan lens” rather than how it should be,

“blind to politics.” On the other hand, local Democrats viewed Justice Barret’s confirmation as nothing short of a travesty, and a hypocritical one due to the Republicans’ refusal to confirm Merrick Garland as the replacement for the late Justice Antonin Scalia in 2016 because it was an election year. Santa Barbara County Democratic Party chair Gail Teton-Landis expressed outrage that Justice Barrett has been confirmed while an election is underway with tens of millions of votes already cast. She also objected to Justice Barrett not answering whether a president should commit to a peaceful transfer of power following an election and took issue with her originalist judicial philosophy.

Visitors enjoy partially reopened Museum of Art

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Residents in Lompoc, southeast Santa Maria, Orcutt and Cuyama will see Allan Hancock College’s board of trustees on the Nov. 3 ballot. Three current trustees’ terms are up, but no one challenged Area One trustee Hilda Zacarías. She will start her third term. Jeffery Hall is running for reelection in Area Four, which covers the Lompoc Valley. He has been on the board since 2016. Area Two trustee Dan Hilker is not running again. His spot is hotly contested between Dr. Suzanne Levy and Keri Common. JEFFERY HALL

Art graces the museum’s walls.

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

After getting postponed a few times due to changing COVID-19 conditions, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art finally reopened at the beginning of this month, much to the delight of the director Larry Feinberg. “It just feels great,” he told the News-Press. Museum deputy director and chief curator Eik Kahng concurred, since showing people works of art online isn’t quite the same as showing them in person. “The one thing you begin to realize when you’ve been quarantined as long as we have and you work for a fine art museum, is that it’s hard when you don’t have an audience,” she said. She added, “You don’t have a Please see MUSEUM on A8

Jeffery Hall (Jeff Hall on the ballot) is the current vice president of the board and has served what he has described as a productive first term. Since 2016, the board had instituted the Food Share program, a food distribution service for students and community members. It has also enacted the requirements of AB 705, state legislation that focuses on retaining students in math and English courses through placing more students in transfer-level courses. In a candidate forum posted on the college’s website, Mr. Hall said he’d like to see more faculty diversity. Mr. Hall is an Allan Hancock alumnus who started college after his family migrated from Louisiana to California, a move they made to escape segregation and have more opportunities. He is endorsed by the Santa Barbara County Democratic Party. ROBERT MERCADO

Robert Mercado, an accountant at AppFolio, filed for candidacy but didn’t participate in the candidate forum. He doesn’t have a campaign website or a Facebook page. He is endorsed by the Santa Barbara Republican Party and Santa Barbara County Deputy Sheriff’s Association among other organizations. KERI COMMON

Keri Common is an alumna and former employee of Hancock College. She was a payroll

technician at the college for 12 years and now serves as the payroll manager at the Santa Barbara Unified School District. “I understand the value of our tax dollars and the duty to spend responsibly. Dollars count, and experience matters,” she said in her candidate statement. She was a co-chair of the sustainability committee at Allan Hancock and was on the facilities council. She wants to see the college better retain employees. She suggested giving raises and room for advancement, she said in the candidate forum. She is endorsed by many, according to her website, kericommon.wixsite.com. Among those are the Part-Time Faculty Association of Allan Hancock College, current Area Two trustee Dan Hilker and Santa Maria Mayor Alice Patino. DR. SUZANNE LEVY

Dr. Suzanna Levy was a computer science professor at Allan Hancock College and has served on the Hope School District board in Santa Barbara. As she raised her children, she got involved in organizations they benefited from. She has been a member of seven parentteacher associations. She has been involved in the arts locally and is currently treasurer of the Orcutt Children’s Art Foundation. She has a doctorate in education, and her dissertation was titled “The Planning and Implementation of Online Distance Learning in the California Community College.” “It is essential that we build upon our excellence to ensure that students receive the highest-quality education, continue our strong program of community education, bring back entertainment and enrichment opportunities, and maintain our outstanding status as one of the top employers in our community,” she said in her candidate statement. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

She’s a winner! Santa Barbara resident enjoys victory on ‘Wheel of Fortune’ By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A

Santa Barbara mother of two tried her hand at America’s Game and walked away nearly $10,000 richer with a free trip to Saint Lucia, an island country in the West Indies. Allison Wooten, a Santa Barbara resident for more than eight years and a City College alumna, won episode No. 7257 of “Wheel of Fortune” on Oct. 20, as a part of “Wheel Across America” week. Five fateful puzzles spun Mrs. Wooten to victory: “somewhere off the beaten path,” “feeling inspired,” “soft pretzel,” “hardboiled egg” and “medium-rare steak.” Needless to say, the avid “Wheel of Fortune” viewer was “feeling inspired” as she lived out what she’s been watching every night with her husband for years. As a player, she got to meet Pat Sajak, the show’s longtime host, and Vanna White, the longtime co-host who points to the letters in the puzzles. “They were both super nice,” Mrs. Wooten told the NewsPress. “It felt very once-in-a-lifetime,” she said. “You know how you tell

C

all it what you will: recession or depression. Neither is good, and most everyone who isn’t in the 1 percent is going to feel it one way or another. Tens of millions of folks are already unemployed and struggling to pay the rent or feed their families. Financial insecurity is also affecting landlords, some of whom retired on the income from their one rental house, who are now not getting paid either. Most people are feeling the various effects of the pandemic: isolation, the sense of being overwhelmed, lives and careers

yourself you’re going to do things in life, and sometimes you do and sometimes you don’t … It was fun to follow through with this one.” The champion aimed for shock value in her audition, and one can assume it worked in her favor. “I actually prepared a rap to get them to remember me,” she said. “It was memorable. I think it’s a mix of being gregarious and being able to solve puzzles.” This wasn’t Mrs. Wooten’s first application either. She applied a few years ago and was selected for an audition, but she was eight months pregnant, so she decided not to go. However, during COVID-19, she tried again, as a “fun thing to do aside from thinking about all the depression.” Once she was selected, the stayat-home mother began preparing, reading articles on game theory and studying the most common letters and pairs. “I think I was almost too overprepared, but when I started playing, my mind just went blank for the first half of the game. It was like a surreal state,” Mrs. Wooten said. “The wheel is very, very heavy. Really heavy. I could only spin it halfway around.” But once she got to the triple

toss-up, she said she finally got the swing of things. Although she won the game, she couldn’t solve the final puzzle, “I applaud you.” “Every single morning I wake up and I’m kicking myself that I didn’t get the final puzzle,” Mrs. Wooten said. “It’s been excruciating.” She said her family enjoyed seeing her on the TV, including her son Walker, who will turn 3, in November and her daughter Lyla, who will turn 2 in November. “Wheel of Fortune” isn’t the only game show in Mrs. Wooten’s wheelhouse, though. The game show enthusiast is now setting her sights on “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.” She’s also an avid viewer of “Jeopardy!,” but thinks the pace might be a little too quick for her. Both “Wheel of Fortune” and “Jeopardy!” are filmed at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City. Because of COVID-19, fans can submit applications virtually, so Ms. Wooten encourages everyone to apply to go on the show since it’s never been easier. “Just do it. You never know if you can do it until you try.” email: gmccormick@newspress.com

“It felt very once-in-a-lifetime,” Mrs. Wooten said about her experience with “Wheel of Fortune.”

Dealing with fears of financial insecurity on hold, not to mention the fear of becoming ill — all of this along with a looming financial crisis. How are we supposed to deal with it? If things are OK for you right now, count your blessings and save your money because it could change at any second, and that is a stressful thought to live with, day in and out. The stock market is not an accurate depiction of the real financial strain the pandemic has put on us, and I am seeing more of it every day. Fortunately, therapy (via the internet) has never been more widely available, and you can find

help for free or very inexpensively if you look, and most insurance covers therapy these days. Financial therapy may not be so easy to come by, but it is out there. If you’re in a bind, now is the time to reach out and start asking some questions about what you can do to change your situation. You cannot just hang out and wait for things to get better, because it could be a very long wait. There is an organization that offers free assistance. The Service

Corps of Retired Executives has many people available to counsel you about things like emergency loans from the Small Business Administration, unemployment insurance benefits available to independent contractors from the state Employment Development Department and how to keep your financial life going. Many cities are offering grants for people in trouble, and you might not know about them if you aren’t talking with the people who

do, so reach out. You can also call the SBA and EDD directly, and they are nice people who will work to help you. I am writing about this now because some of these things may take a little time to come about, as will any federal government assistance, so you need to look into how you can stay afloat until you no longer need the help. That day will come, but too many people are food-and- housing insecure right now, and others are only moments away. If you are comfortable and have an income, count your blessings and do what you can to help those

who are in trouble right now. It will make the world a better place, and you will also feel good about yourself. The holidays are coming, and we need as much of that spirit as we can get right now.

t 67, I’m considered old(er) now. The golden years. Though every morning getting out of bed feels more like the rusty years. And like millions before me and millions more to come, the older you get, the more you reflect on your life. And for some reason, the bad stuff is pushed aside, and you really only remember the good times: The family trips with your kids, playing with the grandkids, snuggling on a couch watching snow fall in the mountains. It’s a wonderful thing how the mind has been wired like that. Can you imagine if all you remembered were the bad things? We’d all be a mess. I touched on this topic a while back, but us old people also like to talk about the “good old” days. How much better and different things used to be. I’ve also referenced that gone are the days when kids used to actually play outside, climb trees, interact and build things like funky skateboards and go carts. Doctors made house calls, milk and eggs were delivered to your house, and the excitement when you heard the music of the ice cream man coming.

Today, kids stare at their phones, view of the greatest nation on which are almost physically earth? attached to their hands. They can’t They were taught to believe that. do anything without checking them They were taught in our schools every second for fear of missing while we’re standing in the next out on something completely room. Just like how the phones irrelevant. are subtly twisting their And they’re also minds, “educators” used Henry Schulte completely unaware their power of authority to that they’re being tell the kids that America The author brainwashed and that is a bad place, a bad lives in Solvang country, that we do bad their developing minds are being manipulated to things, that everyone is a think a certain way. racist, that if you’re white you have Google, Tic Toc, Instagram, to be a racist, that government is Twitter and more are molding the out to get you, that all police are leaders of the future to think a killers. The list is pretty long. certain way. These tech giants are This is the environment in our actually laying the groundwork colleges and universities. But now for America to fit their philosophy they’re beginning to “condition” right under our noses. the kids at a much younger age. I point this out because this There’s been push pack by manipulation process has parents regarding the sex ed class accelerated in 2020 like nothing Teen Talk, but I recently became we’ve witnessed in the history of aware of another course that Santa this country.

When you keep pounding into How did they get such a twisted young minds white privilege, white

supremacy, oppression and so on, they’re going to eventually believe it, which is the idea. We’ve seen these indoctrinations throughout history called religions. Here is an excerpt of what the course is about: “They will analyze indigeneity, aspects of (de) colonization, white supremacy, oppression and privilege, and work towards empowering themselves as anti-racist leaders who engage in social justice activism.” The above description I interpret as making the assumption that everyone is already a racist and this course will fix you. My impression of these kinds of classes all across the country are moving away from teaching history and instead teaching viewpoints. There was a time when real history was taught. Facts. Then as you grew older, you formed your own conclusions. What’s being attempted now is to introduce an emotional ideology and twist a young mind to view things generated by a group of activists who are imposing their personal opinions and ideals. I’ll be the first to admit I hated school, and obviously I wasn’t the only one. But not once, not ever did a teacher venture away from teaching me my times tables, what year was the Civil War or what a noun was. In the “old” days, we were taught historical truths and were not told how to think but taught how to think for ourselves.

eing a citizen and taxpayer in Santa Barbara County, I have several reasons for not voting for Congressman Salud Carbajal. First, he is the architect of our Frankensteinian Third District boundaries, formed during the 2010 Redistricting for the county Board of Supervisors. This map was created to ensure the UCSB and Isla Vista socialists continued to block any conservative thought or desires from becoming law in the North. The district lies from Guadalupe in the North County, down to the area that should be in Santa Barbara’s Second District: the westside of SB, West Goleta and the Gaviota Coast. It is, after all, the University of California at Santa Barbara. We in the Third District do not understand why students should be the deciding factor in our destiny. Twenty thousand votes usually go to liberal government representatives. Our Third District looks like a gerrymandered nightmare with elephantiasis! Second, Salud supports Prop. 15, another Sacramento gimmick to destroy Prop. 13 and suffocate us in a tsunami of more taxes. Third, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the “squad” have captured Rep. Carbajal’s allegiance, and he follows in their footsteps: “Impeach Trump” they cried, and Salud joined in the chorus. Fourth, the incumbent voted to defund our police, just when we are being looted, burned out and threatened. Great timing, congressman! Without law, there is no order! Vote to send Andy Caldwell to D.C., (AC to DC). Ignite intellectual electricity in a dead congressional battery! Jump start a needed conservative government!

The House will be alive! Imagine the power of that! Suzanne Petersen Solvang

“Where is all the knowledge we lost with information?� — T. S. Eliot

ARIES — Information that comes your way today could launch you into a search for truth, Aries. Perhaps this is a new business-related idea that you want to explore. It could be a new philosophical interest, and you will want to learn as much as you can about it. Whichever it is, your mind is sharp, so you’re likely to finish the day a lot more knowledgeable than you were when it began. TAURUS — Although you’re usually very responsible and you try to keep the proper balance between your home and professional lives, today your mind and heart are more focused on your home, Taurus. A warm sense of unity with family and close friends could make for a very pleasant day and an even more pleasant evening. Even finishing up paperwork will seem easier than usual. Relax and enjoy a great GEMINI — Having a sense of community unites the people around you in aiming for a common goal, and this could be a new interest for you, Gemini. Warm and loving emails and calls could come from family, close friends, or your life partner. An impromptu short trip to a favorite place could result in a pleasant surprise. This promises to be a busy day and a great one. CANCER — You may have been expecting some money over the past several days, and today it could finally arrive. Delays in reaching your goals are finished for the moment. If you have a project you’ve been trying to complete, Cancer, this is the day to do it, especially if it involves paperwork. This isn’t the day to compete with anyone, however. Your sense of cooperation is too strong. LEO — You’re feeling especially sharp, Leo. Your thoughts are more focused than usual and your mind especially penetrating. A promised get-together with friends or loved ones may have to be delayed, but it will take place. Information about possible business opportunities could come through periodicals, and if you like them, check them out. The outlook on anything that comes your way today is especially bright. VIRGO — Practical thoughts may be the result of unconscious impulses brought to the surface by events at home. Old traumas and phobias could be released, although you should take care to not dwell on them too much or you’ll reinforce them instead of getting rid of them. Your imagination is flying high. +*#!2 +1$)"$ You might focus it on decorating your house. You could find antiques

especially appealing. LIBRA — Gatherings in your neighborhood could bring new and interesting information your way, Libra. A message from an acquaintance could send you down a new path toward a new goal. Relations with everyone around you - from your romantic partner to the most casual of acquaintances - should be warm and congenial. Conversations should be stimulating. SCORPIO — Success in a project you’ve been working on could mean you want to go out and celebrate. You might feel guilty about doing it, but go ahead, Scorpio. Order a glass of wine and dessert! Tonight is the night to forget work and go for sheer, unadulterated pleasure. You have the break coming. Your efforts are finally being recognized, and you’re on your way. Enjoy your good fortune! SAGITTARIUS — A subject that you’ve been studying for a long time might suddenly start making sense to you, Sagittarius. Or you could finally reach a point where you can make it work for you in a practical way. Your thinking now is especially clear, focused, down to Earth, and efficient, so whatever you try or start today is likely to lead to success. Don’t let occasional self-doubt stop you. CAPRICORN — Past impressions that you may not even know you have could enhance your ability to deal with practical matters today, Capricorn. You might need to handle some paperwork regarding a settlement of some kind. The thoughts and feelings of those closest to you are more apparent than usual. You may tailor your behavior toward them accordingly. Spend a quiet evening with your loved ones. You won’t even need to talk. AQUARIUS — Small social events and group activities are on the agenda today if at all possible, Aquarius. You may be introduced to someone who could prove helpful to your career. A letter containing good news could come from a friend or partner. Any new moneymaking enterprise begun now is likely to succeed as long as you stay with it and continue to face it in a businesslike manner. PISCES — Glowing health and an enthusiastic attitude make almost anything a pleasure today, Pisces. Relations with friends and family are warm, congenial, and cooperative. Your day should go as smoothly as you could expect. There is something you want to do in the afternoon that you’re looking forward to. In the evening, consider attending an online class, lecture, or workshop. Your mind is especially sharp right now.

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.

Westmont’s late arrival is now finishing first in cross country By MARK PATTON

Anneline Breytenbach, who changed her mind about attending UCLA in late summer, won her first cross country race for Westmont College on Saturday.

SM library hosts cookbook club SANTA MARIA — The City of Santa Maria Public Library is launching a cookbook club called “What’s Cookin’ Santa Maria� with its first video discussion at 3 p.m. Oct. 31. The first cookbook is “The Nightmare Before Dinner� by Zach Neil (Race Point, 2018). It is the official cookbook of The Beetle House restaurant and carries a Tim Burton aesthetic. The book is available to check out on Hoopla with a library card. Participants are invited to cook a recipe from the book and tell the club about it on Halloween. To register for the cookbook club, patrons can register on the library’s events calendar at cityofsantamaria.org/ Library or by calling the library at (805) 925-0994. — Annelise Hanshaw

Two roads diverged for Anneline Breytenbach when last summer neared its end. The one to UCLA was not taken while the one less traveled brought her to Santa Barbara as a late admit to Westmont College. She’s been poetry in motion for the Warriors ever since, winning her first official cross country race on Saturday at the William Jessup Warrior Invitational in Rocklin. Breytenbach, who’d been a tennis and soccer star at Atascadero High School, literally came out of nowhere. “I reached out to coach (Russell) Smelley when I got here, and he was super-helpful, allowing me to join the sprint team,� she said. “I’d always been a sprinter in high school and never did distance running or cross country in high school.� But Breytenbach — an admittedly “hyper� competitor — couldn’t wait for track season in the spring. One day after a Monday sprint workout, she asked to join the long-distance runners who were already competing. “I fell in love with cross country right away,� she said. “I love all the girls on the team and the coaches are amazing. It’s been an amazing experience.� She amazed those coaches when she beat allcomers while running unofficially at the Warriors’ second meet — a three-way on Oct. 9 against Hope International and William Jessup. “I surprised myself,� Breytenbach said. “I was not expecting that at all.� She won again after the NAIA granted her eligibility for last week’s five-school meet at Jessup, completing the 5K course in a time of 19:16.3. It’s been a whirlwind turn of events for an athlete who had her senior season of high school track cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic. “We had only one meet before everything was canceled,� she said. “I’d always been into sports, Please see westmont on A7

Ms. Teton-Landis remarked that there is “little doubt� Justice Barrett’s originalism will threaten abortion rights, same sex marriage, and interracial marriage. Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson, D-Santa Barbara, also criticized the new Supreme Court Justice’s originalist philosophy and said the United States will “suffer� if the constitution is interpreted “as if we were living in the 1700s.� “The constitution, as I see it, is a living, breathing document,� she said. “It recognizes the world in which we live.� The senator fears that Justice Barrett’s confirmation will threaten the Affordable Care Act, abortion rights, and environmental protection against climate change. She said of the first possibility, “20 million Americans are not going to sit by idly as their rights to healthcare are taken away.� Senator Jackson also criticized the Republicans for hypocrisy for confirming Justice Barrett this close to the election when they refused to do so for Merrick Garland. “The rules of the game need to be consistent or democracy is going to collapse, and the way this was handled is just outrageous to me,� she said. email: jgrega@newspress.com

Runner also a standout in soccer and tennis westmont

Continued from Page A6

and suddenly not having team practices and competitions was a bit weird.” As a high school junior, Breytenbach finished second in the 400 meters, third in the 200, and third in the 4x100 relay at the Mountain League Championships. She also received first-team All-Mountain League honors last year in both soccer and tennis. “I played the wing position in soccer and got to make a lot of the runs, and I think that’s helped me in cross country,” Breytenbach said. “I’ve always loved running. Other people complain about it and see running as a punishment for something. I’ve never seen it as a punishment. I’ve always seen it as an opportunity.” She posted a singles record of 26-1 during last fall’s regular season of tennis, leading Atascadero to the CIF-Central Section semifinals. She’s already contacted coach Ellie Johnson about the possibility of playing for Westmont’s tennis team next spring. “I’ve been playing tennis since I was about 7,” she said. “We actually play a lot of tennis together as a family.” She is the second of three daughters in the family of Hendrick and Najore Breytenbach, expatriates of South Africa. Her older sister, Nicoline, had been an allleague tennis player at Atascadero before enrolling at UCLA in 2018. Her younger sister, Noella, plays volleyball and soccer. “My sister was one of the draws of my going to UCLA,” Anneline said. “I’m not a very spontaneous person at all, so it was quite uncharacteristic of me to change to another school. “It wasn’t one little thing but a bunch of things. I just like the relationships you can have with your peers and coaches and professors here at Westmont. It’s unlike anything you can get at a big school.” Breytenbach made the switch after hearing that her prospective roommate at UCLA had decided to attend Vanderbilt

instead. “It made me realize that a change was even possible,” she said. She contacted Westmont just a few weeks before the start of classes and asked if she could still enroll. “They were super-helpful about getting me registered and into classes,” she said. “I’m very, very grateful to be here.” Breytenbach, co-salutatorian of Atascadero High’s Class of 2020 with a grade-point average of 4.48, plans to major in neuroscience. “I’m taking a premed track,” she said. She had to deal with a longer course at Rocklin than the one she’d run at Westmont two weeks earlier. “I wasn’t used to that distance, going from a 4K to the 5K, and I definitely went out too hard,” Breytenbach said. “I realized that I still had a long way to go.” Breytenbach took the lead after the second mile but was passed at mile three by two runners from The Master’s University. “It wasn’t until the last 300to-400 meters that I was able to pass them again,” she said. “We were pretty much neckand-neck the whole time, but I think my experience as a sprinter helped me quite a bit at the end.” She actually thought she had lost to Mariah Hildebrandt. “We were right next to each other, and I didn’t see my time, so I assumed she’d won,” Breytenbach said. “It was crazy. It wasn’t until about an hour after the race that coach Smelley came up and told me that I had won. I was taken quite aback.” Her victory margin was onehundredth of a second. Breytenbach will be back in Rocklin on Nov. 7 to run the same course in the Golden State Athletic Conference Championships. “The course is challenging and requires focus and determination,” Smelley said. “It was good to see the course to gauge the effort required to race equitably at GSAC.” And it will no longer be the road less traveled for Westmont’s newest star. email: mpatton@newspress.com

Enire museum not expected to reopen until April MUSEUM

Continued from Page A1 purpose in life if you don’t have the opportunity to share art with real people in real time.” The reopening is a limited one, as many of the museum’s galleries are in the midst of being renovated. Mr. Feinberg said much of the renovation was completed throughout the COVID-19 shutdown, with construction crews expected to clear out of the museum in the next month or so. According to Ms. Kahng, the renovation has largely kept to schedule despite the pandemic. However, the museum’s galleries won’t immediately reopen once the renovation is completed since the galleries need to be reinstalled, a process that will take several months. “We won’t be able to reopen the entire museum until April, because there’s I think 16, 17 galleries that have to be reinstalled. It’s going to take us quite a while,” Mr. Feinberg said. Those galleries that are open have undergone some changes while closed. The museum’s Davidson Gallery has been turned into the “Important Works on Paper” collection — a showcase of drawings, photographs and prints from all four departments of the museum’s permanent collection. In addition to the selected works hanging on the wall, the redone exhibit features an installed office where photographers will take pictures of all the collection’s paper works to go on the

museum’s website and curators will examine pieces to check their condition. Also, the office has windows through which guests can watch the museum staff work and ask them questions about what they’re doing. “It’s just another little interactive possibility for the community,” Mr. Feinberg said. He added, “People like to see the behind the scenes operations in a museum sometimes.” Other exhibits on display in the currently open galleries include “Small-Format American Paintings from the Permanent Collection,” “Highlights of the Permanent Collection” and “In the Meanwhile…Recent Acquisitions of Contemporary Art.” The latter arrived at the museum just before the onset of COVID-19, so relatively few people were able to view it before the museum closed. Though the “Small-Format American Paintings” featuring the museum’s highlights of 19th and early 20th century American pictures only takes up a small nook of the Ridley-Tree Gallery, Mr. Feinberg remarked that the museum has “an extremely strong” and “deep” collection of this kind of art. “When we do reopen in April, one whole gallery, the Preston Morton Gallery, will be filled with this area of the collection,” the director said. While the museum was closed, its curators assembled some of its most important pieces including art from Japan, China, India, Java, and 19th century Europe, as well as contemporary art. These

pieces can currently be found in the museum’s “Highlights of the Permanent Collection” section. When the rest of the museum’s galleries reopen in April, the contemporary art will be given its own exhibit and the gallery currently housing the “Highlights” collection will be singularly dedicated to 19th century European paintings. Had it not been for the pandemic, the museum would have unveiled a long-awaited

Vincent van Gogh exhibit this month. Instead, the three-month van Gogh show has been delayed all the way to February 2022, by which time the museum staff hopes a COVID-19 vaccine will be found. “If you’re going to do such a really important show, you want people to be able to come and not only have two or three people in a gallery at a time,” Mr. Feinberg stated. The museum director added

that the delay has actually worked to the museum’s advantage. “It turns out that some pictures by van Gogh that hadn’t been available for the originally scheduled time, are going to be available for the new dates, and so there will actually be a few more pictures in it than we were counting on,” he said. Though for now, guests can only see a fraction of the museum. Ms. Kahng told the News-Press that they are in for a treat when they

come to the renovated museum in April. “I’m flabbergasted every time I go to the office and I walk through the renovation. … I can’t wait for people to see it,” she said. The Santa Barbara Museum of Art is open from Wednesday through Sunday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visitors must make reservations online at tickets.sbma.net and admission will be free until Nov. 1. email: jgrega@newspress.com
