Pairing wine with charity Women Winemakers raffle benefits Foodbank By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara County Women Winemakers launched a virtual raffle last week to benefit the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County. Tickets will be sold through Dec. 11 at womenwinemakersraffle. eventbrite.com. Participants from Women Winemakers donated bottles of wine and wine-tasting tickets to the drawing. All proceeds go to the Foodbank’s distribution efforts, which have become integral during the COVID-19 pandemic. “The holidays and winter months are normally a difficult time for those we serve. This year the economic impact of COVID-19 has created a drastic increase in need. The Foodbank has steadily doubled the amount of food we distribute in a typical year,” said Laurel Alcantar, senior development manager for Foodbank of Santa Barbara County. “We are truly grateful to the Women Winemakers for putting this together and for helping us ensure that everyone in our community has access to healthy food this holiday season,” she Please see RAFFLE on A3 RAFAEL MALDONADO / NEWS-PRESS

Antique Alley owner Alan Howard said Black Friday is generally slow around his store, but that he saw a rush of customers on Saturday.

A not-so-brief intermission Theaters struggle in purple tier By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Back in the purple tier, the few choices theaters once had are gone. Some have developed online assets to bring revenue through the website, but others are stuck waiting. Metropolitan Theatres, owner of many of Santa Barbara’s cinemas, seeks to sell gift cards as it waits to reopen. In an email sent to newsletter subscribers with the subject line “Help Support Our Theatres this Holiday,” it offered a deal: get a $10 concession voucher for every $30 spent on gift cards. Only two theaters are open of its 16 locations across California, Colorado, Idaho and Utah. When Santa Barbara County progressed into the red tier in October, the Fiesta Five and Camino Real cinemas opened under strict precautions. Most of the seats had to remain empty to keep with social distancing protocols. It wasn’t profitable, Metropolitan’s president David Please see theaters on A8

Stella Trapin, assistant manager of The Closet Trading Company, at right, said business in her shop was comperable to last year over the weekend.

Black Friday still a big day for local retailers By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Though it has been tough for the retail sector amid the COVID-19 pandemic and even prior due to online shopping, many small, local retail businesses experienced successful Black Fridays or Small Business Saturdays over the weekend. Most retailers on State Street who spoke to the News-Press on Monday reported that most of the post-Thanksgiving shopping their stores received was concentrated in

one particular day instead of spread between days. Antique Alley owner Alan Howard remarked that whereas Black Friday is a big deal for the likes of department stores and brand name outlets, for his antique shop the day after Thanksgiving is usually a slow business day, similar to any other Friday during the year. This was also the case this year. On Saturday, however, Mr. Howard saw a surge of customers, many who were from out of town. Many of those out-of-towners were also returning customers who made it a point to Please see retail on A8

There’s not an order against hiking trails,� said Andew Madsen, U.S. Forest Service spokesman. “We just want to make sure if people go out they’re safely spaced between one another. If you get to a trailhead and there’s just too many cars there, you should find a different area to go to as opposed to trying to get in.� As state and local responses to the coronavirus pandemic continue to evolve, the Forest Service felt that the situation warranted a two week extension of the closures, said Mr. Madsen. “At the end of that they’ll evaluate and see where we’re at and whether or not we’re going to continue as we need it,� said Mr. Madsen. “This order can be rescinded at any time. If local health officials say it looks like the sky has cleared up we can rescind the order tomorrow.

More than 20 years after they first opened, Chuck’s Waterfront Grill and The Endless Summer Bar CafĂŠ are permanently closed. On the morning of April 30 the waterfront restaurant announced its closure with a farewell post on its Instagram account. The post read, “It is with heavy hearts that we announce we have closed our doors for good. Thank you for your constant support. The memories will never be forgotten.â€? Despite the current economic chaos due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the prospect of Chuck’s and Endless Summer ceasing operation dates back to before the outbreak. According to the agenda of a March 24 Santa Barbara City Council meeting in which assignment of the restaurant’s lease to a new operator was the first item, Chuck’s and Endless Summer co-owner Steve Hyslop informed the Waterfront Department of his desire to sell the establishment in August 2019. After receiving the department’s lease assignment requirements, Mr. Hyslop began searching for a new buyer and ultimately found it in businessman Aaron Petersen, who operates a number of restaurants in Solvang including Chomp, The Coffee House by Chomp,

Brekkies by Chomp, and Mortensen’s Danish Bakery. The initial lease for the Chuck’s and Endless Summer property is 10 years with four, five-year options to extend the term of the lease. Mr. Petersen is inheriting the existing lease with only the four, five-year options remaining, with an average seasonally adjusted base rent of $23,585 per month. Though Mr. Petersen plans to continue running Chuck’s and Endless Summer in line with its current operation for a time, the restaurant has upgrades planned for around the fall. According to the agenda, under Mr. Petersen’s business plan the second floor of the establishment will be converted into a traditional deli cafĂŠ focused on sandwiches, soups, and salads, with a gourmet grocery area selling wine, beer, and prepackaged foods. For evenings, the second floor will have a full bar and a dinner menu focusing on “adult food and beverages.â€? The restaurant’s ground floor is proposed to be similar to Mr. Petersen’s Chomp restaurants. Its menu of burgers, fries, and shakes will cater to families, young adults, and retirees, and for evenings will be converted to a “dinner type atmosphere.â€? email: jgrega@newspress.com

Each year, the city of Santa Barbara Waterfront carves out two berms to protect oceanside structures. The Santa Barbara Yacht Club is less vulnerable to storms because of the berm.

Beaches remain open after all; county announces 11 new COVID cases, largest since last week Bell said. The sea level in Santa Barbara is predicted to rise 0.8 feet by 2030, 2.5 feet by 2060 and 6.6 feet by 2100, according to the 2018 State of California Sea-Level Rise Guidance prepared by the Ocean Protection Council. The city of Carpinteria is currently strategizing a more permanent solution to these

seasonal berms. It is working with the Army Corp of Engineers to find a solution. The city will also be holding public workshops, an initiative that kicked off earlier this fall. One option is a living shoreline, where native plants act as a barrier to the water without interrupting animals movement. Both Carpinteria and

Santa Barbara watch for any endangered species before constructing the berms. Then, the berms are smoothed out prior to grunion season in March. To watch the Carpinteria City Beach berm progress, go to videomonitoring.com/beachcams/ carpinteria/.

said. There are three prizes up for raffle: a case of wine (12 bottles) made by Santa Barbara County Women Winemakers, a half case of wine (six bottles) and a digital gift basket with tickets to tasting rooms, coupons, “meet the winemaker” sessions and more. The full case and digital basket raffles cost $50 per ticket, and the half case costs $25 per ticket. “At this time of year, we are usually in the beginning phases of planning for the next year’s Women Winemakers Celebration, and while there are still many uncertainties of the possibilities for a March 2021 event, we can still make a difference in other ways – when it’s most needed,” explained Karen Steinwachs, co-founder of the annual Women Winemakers Celebration, winemaker at Buttonwood Farm Winery & Vineyard and owner/winemaker of Seagrape Wine Company. The Women Winemakers usually hold a charitable event on National Women’s Day in March in which participants taste a variety of wines alongside top cuisine.

he Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History is hosting a series of weekend pop-up shops through Dec. 20 in its courtyard on Puesta del Sol Road. Each is featuring a different vendor from the popular Folk & Tribal Marketplace fundraiser. “The Folk & Tribal Arts Marketplace is typically a large annual three-day fundraiser that features more than 30 vendors selling goods from all over the world,” said Amy Carpenter, event organizer and director of operations for the museum. “Discerning gift-givers rely on it to supply a wealth of unique artisanal gifts. This year’s pop-up shop version aims to provide a safely scaled-down outdoor experience that still offers a fine array of handcrafted items.” The shops take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday through Sunday, and 25% of the sales benefit museum exhibits and programs. Shopping the Marketplace is free, museum admission not included.

he pandemic has caused a secondary epidemic of anxiety and depression among most people. Coping with those feelings can be an allencompassing experience, and that is just not a way to go through life. When you think you don’t have a future, you live in the past and spend too much time dwelling on your mistakes and regrets. A would-a, should-a, could-a mantra looping through our brains and bodies is destructive to our emotional well-being. One of the ways to cope with this different life is to keep moving. It may sound simplistic, but it does work and it helps you propel your

From Dec. 18 through Dec. 20, La Calenda will offer folk art from Oaxaca, clothing and textiles, jewelry sculptures and Talavera pottery.

Don’t spend all your time in the past life in a more positive direction. It’s just a matter of keeping yourself busy at doing whatever you find along the way. When we sit and dwell on what might happen, might have happened, or might not happen, it sucks up all our energy, including our ambition and drive to make things better. To circumvent that response, I recommend going on a betterment binge, and just go from one thing to the next, no matter what the circumstances. If you are finding it hard to basically function, you must force yourself to move forward, but you can do it in small bite-sized chunks, so it feels less intimidating. First, list three things that you

need to do every day, such as exercise, showering, and doing some work (or looking for some work to do). I motivate myself by telling my brain that if I can’t figure out something positive to do with this time, then it’s out to the garage to continue cleaning it — which I hate, so I usually figure something out. If you have lost your job or business, it’s hard to be content right now, but you have to try and make things better every day, or the negative feelings are just going to take over. Like I said, it doesn’t have to be big stuff, but

you do have to get the basics covered to give yourself a chance to recover. Yes, I think we will get the virus under control, but so much damage has already occurred psychically that it will take even more time to get back to some feeling of safety and normality. For now, you need to have patience, and that’s hard when you are feeling down. It’s also scary, because you wonder if this pandemic or this mood will ever go away, but don’t fall into that pit — and if you do, make yourself

climb out of it by doing something mundane but necessary. Learning to relax when you are anxious about the future is a matter of learning how to keep moving forward and not dwell on the past. Yes it takes some practice to rewire your brain and cope appropriately with this time warp we are all living in, but I help people do it every day, and it does work. Even though some of the things I love to do are gone, I believe I can find other things to take their place and adjust my expectations to go with the flow. We have all had to do this before, but never for so long. The unspoken benefit of this

time in our lives is that it will lead us to new things, and that always brings with it a sense of wonder. So I will enjoy this holiday season as much as possible from the comfort of my home, with the love of my wife and the knowledge that we will survive this and then thrive again in the future.

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS

“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.� — Theodore Roosevelt

ARIES — Unguarded words on the part of a younger person might lead to upset. If the words are directed at you, don’t take them seriously. The person doesn’t know any better. If the words are directed at someone else, don’t be tempted to lash out at the person who said them. Correct him or her gently. Either way, keep it to yourself and then forget it. It isn’t worth the stress. TAURUS — Profligate spending over the past week or two may have you feeling less confident about your money situation today, Taurus. Perhaps you’ve lent some money to a friend and you doubt their ability to repay. Or maybe you fell for a sales pitch that you now regret. Correct the situation if you can. If you can’t, simply learn from the experience and put it behind you. GEMINI — Your ambition and will to succeed may be at war with your feelings today, Gemini. Perhaps you’ve been working so hard that you aren’t paying enough attention to friends and family - and they miss you. Children and young people may be very much on your mind. Perhaps you doubt your ability to fulfill your responsibilities. Be objective when considering the situation. Don’t let your emotions run away with you. CANCER — Today, Cancer, you might uncharacteristically decide to sequester yourself away from the world. Perhaps you’re tired or feeling a bit under the weather and only wish to kick back and read a good book. That’s fine. Everyone needs a little solitude from time to time. The only concern here is that if you stay too secluded, you might miss an important communication. Resist the temptation to turn off the phone! LEO — A quarrel over money could interfere with a friendship today, Leo. Perhaps someone hasn’t repaid a loan and the lender now needs it. Perhaps a member of your household is unable to pay their share of the bills. Don’t let yourself get drawn into quarrels or recriminations. Work something out with your friend if possible. Money isn’t worth throwing away a friendship and leaving a gap in your life. VIRGO — Spiritual and metaphysical studies may take up a lot of your time today, Virgo. You might want to dig into the world’s major religions or try to make it through works about spiritualism or the occult. If you want to, this is the day to do it because your +*#!2 +1$)"$ concentration is very strong,

although it will be necessary to take a lot of breaks! LIBRA — You might long for a vacation today, Libra, and you could toy with the idea of a future journey by air. Your mind may turn to spiritual places such as India, Egypt, Israel, or Ireland as you wonder how it would feel to stand in the sacred places in those countries. Don’t just toy with the idea. You’re probably overdue for a trip that would suit your mystical nature. SCORPIO — Someone you’ve known for a long time may move away or otherwise vanish from your life. He or she may move to a distant state. You’ll probably stay in touch by phone or email, but it will never be the same, at least not for a long time. You will feel better if you meet some new people. They will come your way today, possibly through humanitarian group activities. SAGITTARIUS — There might be some tension between you and your romantic partner that might have you feeling a bit depressed. The key to patching this up is honest communication. Remember that honest doesn’t necessarily mean brutal. Confrontations now can only widen the rift. Tell your partner how you feel, Sagittarius, but don’t cast blame for anything. Share a little. By day’s end, all should be well. CAPRICORN — Today your biorhythms may be a little low, Capricorn, so you aren’t likely to be feeling very sociable. You’re more likely to want to bury your nose in your projects instead of being your usual outgoing self. This is OK but take care that you aren’t so reclusive that you miss receiving some sincere compliments. That can make a big difference in the way you feel! AQUARIUS — An electrifying attraction to someone you may have just met could cause your mind to dwell on sex and romance today, Aquarius. If you can, set up a romantic evening with a love partner. If this isn’t possible, watch a movie that moves you to tears. Movies may be of particular interest to you today, since you might be reading about how they’re made. PISCES — Family members could be upset over different frustrating events in their lives, and these moods could spill over to you. Today it would be best to leave them alone to work things out in their own way. They aren’t likely to respond to sympathy. Take this opportunity to tend to some of your concerns that you may have postponed. This way, the silence in the house can work for you.

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.

Diver missing near Santa Cruz Island By GERRY FALL NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office has taken the lead in the search for a missing diver who vanished while diving near Santa Cruz Island on Sunday evening. According to a news release, the diver, 34-year-old Ryder Sturt of Port Hueneme, went missing sometime in the early evening on Sunday. At approximately 6:45 p.m. on Sunday, the U.S. Coast Guard responded to the Painted

Cave Preserve to begin an immediate search. Mr. Sturt and his dive partner were tank diving for lobster off of a 20-foot recreational boat that was anchored in the area when the U.S. Coast Guard was notified. The USCG cutter Narwal responded to the request for assistance and searched the waters off of Santa Cruz Island overnight while FOB Mug searched from the air. On Monday, the USCG continued its search with additional vessel and air resources, including Santa Barbara County Air Support Copter 964, which was on its first operational

Corwin told the News-Press in a previous interview. But the theaters wanted to open for their employees as well as the community. If COVID-19 safety precautions weren’t restrictive enough for the cinemas, Hollywood tightened the squeeze. Premiers were pushed back until 2021, and Disney’s “Mulan” skipped the theaters and was released on the streaming service, Disney+. Meanwhile, the West Wind Drive-In in Goleta reopened after closing in April 2019 and now holds frequent screenings.

‘People were out and about’ on Black Friday retail

Continued from Page A1 stop by during their stay in Santa Barbara. Despite pandemic conditions, Mr. Howard said this Saturday after Thanksgiving was likely more lucrative than last year’s. He said that this could possibly be due to Macy’s and Nordstrom, in prior years a big draw post-Thanksgiving, closing their local stores. He recalled, “Now that they were gone, I saw an uptick in shoppers to the small businesses in our neighborhood, and especially on Saturday, it was just booming out there.” Also, he thinks people are hungry for social interaction amid COVID-19 restrictions. “I don’t think that online took away from the need for people to socialize during the shopping experience,” he said. Several business owners told the News-Press that many of the shoppers they received weren’t Santa Barbara residents. Sophia Tolle, who owns the Morro Baybased boutique Poppy and opened a second location on State Street in June, told the News-Press

that her newer store had many customers from Los Angeles and San Diego during a busy Black Friday. Saturday was less busy and business at the boutique slowed even more on Sunday. Given pandemic conditions, Ms. Tolle didn’t expect Black Friday to be as busy as it turned out to be. “We were expecting it to be a more mellow, easy-going day, but it wasn’t. People were out and about, so that was good,” she said. Asher Market owner Ashley Hayes said many of her customers were from Orange County and Los Angeles, with a few from San Francisco. For her store, Black Friday was successful in terms of both in-store and online sales. This was followed by an unexpectedly slow Saturday. “After Friday was such a busy day in the store and online, I kind of thought Saturday would match it, and when it was kind of slow, I was kind of surprised,” she said. Despite this, Ms. Hayes was the only State Street store owner who said the Sunday after Thanksgiving was a successful business day. For most State Street retail

shops, Sunday was the slow day. This was the case for The Closet Trading Company, according to store assistant manager Stella Trapin. Between the two busier days, Ms. Trapin said the consignment shop had business comparable to last year’s. For Sunglass Brands International, Black Friday was very busy and was followed by two days of tapering sales. According to the owner, who just gave his first name, Minesh, the store did a special Black Friday sale that lasts for a week. Nevertheless, customers who went to the store after Friday just looked at sunglasses and weren’t what Minesh called “true shoppers.” While this year’s Black Friday at Sunglass Brands International’s was stronger than last year’s, the store usually has high sales the Saturday after Thanksgiving, which didn’t materialize this time around. “Usually you get a strong Saturday, and that Saturday wasn’t strong at all,” he said. Hemp clothing store owner Marcel Hemp also made a lot of sales on Black Friday, followed by fewer sales on Saturday. According to the shop’s namesake

and owner Marcel Monsivais, whether Black Friday is more successful than Small Business Saturday or vice versa varies from year to year. “We’ve been here a little over 31 years, and it’s hit-and-miss. You never know. Like sometimes, Black Fridays don’t make that big of a deal, but this Black Friday in particular was really strong,” he said. There was bustling business at retail stores in Solvang, according to Solvang Chamber of Commerce executive director Tracy Beard. Over the weekend, the chamber promoted its local businesses by posting local retailers’ Black Friday sales on social media and other online channels. “I think we did pretty good in getting all of our businesses in the groove and getting sales,” Ms. Beard said. She added that she expects Solvang retailers will do great business during the December holidays. “I think we’re going to have an incredible holiday season here in this town,” she said. email: jgrega@newspress.com

Musicians have a contactless recording session at the Lobero, and fans can watch it back on demand. The Lobero, a Santa Barbara institution for almost 150 years, says its future is uncertain. It has lost over $1 million in earned income since closing its doors in March, according to its website. The Granada Theatre, located at 1214 State St. in Santa Barbara, canceled performances of “Cats” scheduled to show in December. Mid-October, the Granada held a fundraiser with the Santa Barbara Symphony. The performance was titled “Cabaret with Kabaretti” and was available to stream live for $65 per household. The performance included interviews with the musicians and the best views in the house. The website advertises a digital subscription for the online performances, indicating a new normal for the theater.
