Back to business Businesses get green light to reopen services after lockdown

State moves to age-based vaccination system By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

California is moving to an age-based system to vaccinate residents, as opposed to its previous job-based system. Government Operations Agency Secretary Yolanda Richardson announced in a press conference Tuesday that she is working with third party administrators to build a statewide vaccine administration network to increase efficiency and visibility in the vaccine rollout. Education workers, food and agriculture workers and first responders, along with residents ages 65 and older, are still next in line for vaccinations. But, after those groups receive their vaccine doses, the state is transitioning to an age-based eligibility system with a focus on equity. State officials hope to reach low-income neighborhoods and providers with this new system. Details on the system were not provided by state officials, so it’s unclear what this age-based system entails. However, state and local officials have said that weighing job-based risk has slowed down the rollout, and “it is easier and faster to verify one’s age than one’s occupation,” according to a San Francisco Chronicle report. The third-party administrator or administrators will allocate vaccine doses directly to public health systems, pharmacies, public hospitals, community health clinics and pop up and

For the first time since November, the phone was ringing off the hook at Fairview Barbers in Goleta. Owner Tim Carey and Barber Jennifer Castro spent most of the morning shifting between cutting hair and answering the phone, and within two hours of reopening, Mr. Carey said the barber shop’s appointment book was full. “I could’ve used a secretary today,” Mr. Carey laughed. After weeks of stay-at-home orders, personal care services were allowed to reopen Tuesday, following Gov. Gavin Newsom’s announcement Monday that the lockdown would be lifted. The end of the lockdown means businesses can return to operations in the purple tier of restrictions. Under the purple tier regulations, personal care services are allowed to open at limited capacity and restaurants can seat customers outdoors. “(Our customers) are extremely glad to see us open,” Mr. Carey said. “They’ve just been waiting and anticipating Please see reopening on A8

A return to purple tier restrictions allowed restaurants to reopen outdoor dining Tuesday. Eureka! restaurant began seating customers outside Tuesday afternoon.

The Santa Barbara Unified School District will be ready to reopen elementary schools once the county reaches the required five-day case rate of 25 COVID-19 cases per 100,000 residents. The current state guidance does not require a waiver to reopen, but a safety plan is required. Over the past months, the district has studied safety measures and ventilation on its school sites. “We do have to submit a plan to the state, which is being submitted tonight, in fact, after this meeting. So, we are ready,” Dr. Frann Wageneck, assistant superintendent, said. “When we get to that point where we’re at 25 cases per 100,000 people or lower, we will open our elementary schools in the hybrid plan. We’re ready to do it today.” Susan Klein-Rothschild, Santa Barbara County Public Health Department school liaison, also expressed confidence in the district’s plans. “All the planning that I’ve heard over the last couple months; I’ve heard of all those reviews and tours of schools and ventilation and steps with staff with students. I’ve talked to many of your nurses about steps taken when there’s a positive case,” she said. “I feel like I’ve

heard the district take a lot of proactive steps to be ready. “So when you hit that number, there’s nothing else that’s a barrier for you.” Currently, the county’s case rate is 49.5 COVID-19 cases per 100,000 residents — a strong decline from the case rate at the last school board meeting. “I can honestly say this is the first time, and really a couple months, that we’re headed in the right direction. We need to get to a case rate of 25 to be able to open for in-person learning, and that’s the goal for everyone,” Ms. KleinRothschild said. “We want students and staff back at school safely.” Dr. John Becchio, assistant superintendent of human resources, had questions regarding the state’s guidance, which requires weekly COVID-19 testing of students and staff. While the district believes the state funding covers the cost of testing kits, he wondered about the time and staffing required to pull off weekly tests. A total of 90 COVID-19 cases have been detected in small cohorts on campuses. Of those, 20 are students, and 70 are staff members. Eight cases were transmitted at school. Only one student was infected on campus. “We don’t expect to see high net transmission happening on Please see sbusd on A8

mobile sites, “with an immediate focus on allocating to those who are vaccinating quickly and safely to accelerate our progress,” according to Ms. Richardson. Included in efforts to smooth out the vaccination rollout, a new tool was created to help mitigate the confusion of California residents who don’t know when their turn is to receive the vaccine. Now, residents can visit myturn.ca.gov, enter their information and learn if it’s their turn to receive a dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. If it’s not their turn, users can sign up to receive a notification when it will be, and, in the coming weeks, will be able to schedule an appointment to get vaccinated, all at the same website. During the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday, Public Health Director Dr. Van DoReynoso clarified a few questions, including rules surrounding bars and youth sports and communitysponsored programs. She confirmed that wineries can operate and serve drinks outdoors without having to serve food, but bars, breweries and distilleries must serve food with drinks outdoors. She added that low-impact, outdoor sports and competition are allowed for sports such as cross country, dance, track and field, tennis, swimming and other no-contact sports.

‘Isla Vista: A Citizen’s History’ Legendary Carmen Lodise publishes second edition By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

C

Isla Vista legend Carmen Augustine Lodise, who now lives in Barra de Navidad, Mexico, has published a second edition of his book, “Isla Vista: A Citizen’s History.”

At left, the second edition of “Isla Vista: A Citizen’s History” features more than 50 photos. At right, Carmen Lodise first self-published “Isla Vista: A Citizen’s History” on newsprint in 1990. The document evolved into a website in 2002, and the first edition of the story as a book was published in 2005.

armen Augustine Lodise came to Isla Vista in 1972 as a research assistant to cultural anthropologist Leslie White, a UCSB professor. He left in 2005 to live in Barra de Navidad, Mexico, a fishing village 125 miles south of Puerto Vallarta. During his time in Isla Vista, Mr. Lodise was elected to the Isla Vista Community Council and Isla Vista Park Board; became publisher, editor-inchief and political writer for the Isla Vista Free Press; served as director of the Santa Barbara Freedom Clinic and economic consultant to the city of Santa Barbara; worked on community organizing projects for the Isla Vista Community Center and the Center for Community Education; ran as a Democratic candidate for Congress; was finance editor for the Mexico City News and led three campaigns to establish an incorporated city of Isla Vista. No wonder he was often referred to as “an Isla Vista legend.” The native of Jackson, Mich., also found time to write “Isla Vista: A Citizen’s History,” first self-published on newsprint in 1990 as a 64-page booklet that was banned at the UCSB Bookstore. “It was launched in 2002 as a website, receiving over 1.5 million hits in its first few years, which encouraged me to publish the book’s first edition in 2008,” Mr. Lodise told the New-Press in an email from his home in Barra de Navidad. A second edition was released last November with almost 100 new pages, including more than 50 photographs and charts in seven new chapters by five new authors. The soft-cover, mini coffee table book costs $22.50. Included are histories of the Food Coop, Youth Project, Redevelopment Agency, Community Center, Community Services District and the Tragedy of 2014. “I decided to publish the second edition because a lot of important events took place in Isla Vista in the decade following publication of the book’s first edition: the Food Co-op buying its building, formation of the Community Services District and the securing of a community center,” said Mr. Lodise, 81. “I wanted the book to remain relevant, but I no longer spent much time in Isla Vista so I recruited some folks who do to write about these events and more.” They include Jonathan Abboud, a lead organizer of the CSD, who wrote the chapter, “Building Our Isla Vista: A Self-Governance Story”; Frank Thompson and Mr. Lodise, “An Isla Vista Community Center — At Last”; Jeff Walsh, “The Isla Vista Food Co-op”; LuAnn Miller, “The Isla Vista Youth Projects”; and Melinda Burns, “Isla Vista: “Investors’ Paradise.” Among the other chapters are “From Indian Settlement to Student Ghetto,” “The Civil Disturbances of 1969-70,” “The Search for a City,” “The Joint Rolling Contests,” “Isla Vista Gorilla Theater and Fabulous Strombolis,” “Intriguing History of the I.V. Clinic Building” and “The Isla Vista Tree: Gone But Not Forgotten.” Please see lodise on A4

Before Mr. Lodise retired to Mexico in 2004, he was asked to express an opinion about what would be good for Isla Vista. “There are really two issues. Number one, don’t allow anybody but college seniors have automobiles in Isla Vista … Secondly, the Del Playa war zone should be lit up like the Venice boardwalk, which would totally change the atmosphere. There should be nice pretty lights along there with nice tiled sidewalks and trash bins. With that type of environment, people will treat each other with respect.” Noting changes that have taken place since he left, Mr. Lodise said, “Isla Vista was a much nicer place when the drug-of-choice was marijuana. Now it’s alcohol, and people aren’t nearly so thoughtful. “The IVCSD is the most promising development in selfgovernance since the formation of the Park District back in 1972. And that wouldn’t have happened if a kid who grew up in I.V. hadn’t become a respected member of the state assembly — Das Williams, who wrote the forward for the new book. “The Food Co-op buying its building has been another giant step,” Mr. Lodise continued. “And the establishment of a community-owned community center is a remarkable accomplishment. A lot of positive things have happened in the last five or six years. But some scary stuff, too, like the Rodger episode and the so-called Deltopia ‘riot,’ “I appreciate that the university has finally recognized that at least some advancement in I.V. self-governance is in their interest, too.” Before moving to Isla Vista, Mr.

Carmen Lodise said he decided to publish a second edition of “Isla Vista: A Citizen’s History” because of the important events that happened in the 2010s, including the formation of the area’s Community Services District.

Lodise spent three years studying chemistry, biology and history at Jackson Junior College and the University of Michigan. He also studied and taught economics at the University of Houston, North Dakota State University and Western Michigan University. From 1995 through 2003, he served on the steering committee to construct the monument to the worldwide anti-war movement during the Vietnam Era that now stands in Isla Vista’s Perfect Park. In 2013,Mr. Lodise came out of retirement to participate in the

campaign to establish the town’s permanent community center. About his life in Barra de Navidad, which he first visited in 1968 and bought a house in 2003, he said, “My son and I own two-thirds of a three-bedroom, two-bath home on two lots in a working class neighborhood of a fishing village of 5,000 people. A long-time friend from Santa Barbara, John Smith, owns the other third. “I spend time in the garden and go for a swim with a glass of wine to watch the sunset at a seaside hotel pretty much daily, although that has been curtailed by the pandemic. I also watch the news and some sporting events with Larry Segall, a manager of the I.V. Food Co-op in the 1970s, who — coincidentally — lives across the street here in Barra de Navidad.” There are also annual visits back to Isla Vista, where he occasionally can be found midmorning at I.V.’s Bagel Cafe. “I stop on my way to my sister’s house in Cayucos for the family Thanksgiving dinner,” Mr. Lodise said. “I spent seven weeks in the area in the fall of 2019. However, there was no family gettogether last year because of the pandemic.” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

ore than 300 members of the Assistance League of Santa Barbara have worked hard to continue their work through the COVID-19 pandemic. During the past 11 months, the group has come up with new ideas for its mission of improving the lives of children, teenagers, families, seniors and people with developmental disabilities in the Santa Barbara area. Here are examples of the organization’s work. FRIENDSHIP LUNCHEON: During the pandemic, the Assistance League could no longer provide home-cooked lunches and entertainment for seniors at the ALSB chapter house. But the nonprofit still contributed to a

pair of nonprofits that help seniors in need. And during the holidays, ALSB paid for hams and baked 800 cookies for Food From the Heart. See’s chocolates were also donated to 170 recipients of Meals on Wheels for their holiday meal. Charlene Heinz and Carol Bowie co-chair this committee. HILLSIDE: One of Assistance League’s biggest philanthropic programs is supporting the enrichment programs for Hillside, a nonprofit residential home for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. These residents have been without their off-campus activities since March. With Donna Williams as chair and with Ann Hammond’s help, Assistance League is focused on sending uplifting cards, letters and gifts through its Secret Pals program, as well as providing extra funds to help with individual

Instead of a luncheon ceremony, students who have demonstrated improved performance in grades, citizenship, attendance or attitude will be honored with a note of congratulations written by an Assistance League member, along with a tote bag filled with school supplies and a Chick Fil-A or Kyle’s Kitchen gift certificate.

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS

Horoscope.com Wednesday, January 27, 2021

ARIES — This might be the perfect day to go out, Aries, or stay in and turn off the phone. Friends and relatives could be stressed, and phone conversations could touch off some misunderstandings and cause unnecessary hurt feelings. If you must talk to people, keep the conversations light and brief. You won’t want to mar a nearly perfect day. TAURUS — Recent stress could leave you wanting to spend the day shopping for items that may be nice but aren’t really necessary, Taurus. This is fine, since you may want to spruce up your surroundings. Take care you don’t go overboard, and be careful not to take home something that you wouldn’t normally go for. You don’t want to have to return an unwanted object to the store. GEMINI — Uninvited visitors could cause some stress, Gemini. You wanted to spend your day resting, but now you have to entertain people, and this could prove irritating. It’s better to keep the visit short and sweet than feel obligated to play host when you aren’t up to it. You will want to stay on good terms with your guests. Be polite but firm and then relax. CANCER — Some callous words spoken carelessly could make you feel hurt and insecure, Cancer. They may not have been intentional, but even so, bear in mind that they’re only words. They tell you far more about the one who said them than they do about you. Spend the evening with people who love and respect you. You mirror the best in them, and that’s why they enjoy your company. LEO — Attempts to attend a festival, party, or other group activity could be hampered by minor obstacles like traffic jams, forgetting things, and getting lost, Leo. This can be frustrating and irritating, but don’t let it stop you. It’s important to be out with your friends today. Fill up the car, get a good map, and make your way to the place by the side streets. Have some fun! VIRGO — Some friends may put you in front of a lot of people, Virgo, perhaps to make an impromptu speech or lead a discussion. Generally, you don’t mind this, but today you’re in a quiet mood and would rather stay on the sidelines. You could grit your teeth and do what they ask. But don’t be afraid to tell your friends how you feel. They don’t really want to make you +*#!2 +1$)"$ uncomfortable.

LIBRA — Someone who’s a little belligerent and abrasive could interrupt the flow of ideas at a class or workshop dedicated to spiritual and metaphysical concepts and values. This won’t sit well with you, Libra, but you aren’t the type to be confrontational. Don’t worry. Let the person have his or her say, then let everyone else debate. Enjoy yourself and learn from all the ideas. SCORPIO — An upset between you and a friend might cause you to wonder what you did wrong, Scorpio. Chances are you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Your friend may have money problems and be too embarrassed to talk about it. Wait a few days and call again to see how things are. Your friend will feel more like talking, and all should be OK between you. SAGITTARIUS — Too many outside responsibilities at once could have you at odds with a current love partner, Sagittarius. Your beloved may seem to be demanding a choice between your job and the relationship. Don’t read things into the situation that aren’t there, and don’t be too proud to talk about it. Pride really can come before a fall. Explain the circumstances in detail and all should be well. CAPRICORN — An unexpected problem with a task you’re trying to finish could cause a temporary upset between you and those closest to you, Capricorn. This might have your family stomping out of the house in anger. Remember that everybody has their own concerns, and probably wouldn’t have reacted this way otherwise. Finish what you have to do and patch things up later. All should be well. AQUARIUS — An upsetting dream about someone you love deeply could cause you to awaken suddenly in the night, Aquarius. You might have to ground yourself a little in reality before trying to go back to sleep. Stay calm. The dream isn’t prophetic. It probably relates to your own fears about this person, or maybe even about yourself. Wait until morning and write down the dream. The meaning should clarify by then. PISCES — A misunderstanding with a family member or partner could mar your morning, Pisces. One of you is less communicative than usual. It might take some effort to bring the issues into the open and work them out. They probably seem more serious than they are. Both you and the other person are apt to be stressed out and a little on edge. Cut yourselves some slack.

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.

The Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) solicits technical information or comments on proposed flood hazard determinations for the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), and where applicable, the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report for your community. These flood hazard determinations may include the addition or modification of Base Flood Elevations, base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area boundaries or zone designations, or the regulatory floodway. The FIRM and, if applicable, the FIS report have been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Title 44, Part 65 of the Code of Federal Regulations. These determinations are the basis for the floodplain management measures that your community is required to adopt or show evidence of having in effect to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. For more information on the proposed flood hazard determinations and information on the statutory 90-day period provided for appeals, please visit FEMA’s website at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/ BFE_Status/bfe_main.asp, or call the FEMA Mapping and Insurance eXchange (FMIX) toll free at 1-877FEMA MAP (1-877-336-2627).

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Saint Westmont women’s soccer opener pushed back due to weather Katherine holds off Westmont rally, 86-81 By MARK PATTON

NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Westmont College’s big comeback from a 16-point deficit fell just short as it lost to Saint Katherine, 86-81, at Murchison Gym on Tuesday in its first men’s basketball game in more than five weeks. The Warriors rallied to within 82-81 on Jared Brown’s two free throws with 20 seconds remaining. Darius Jackson, however, sealed the win for Saint Katherine with four foul shots in the final 18 seconds. Westmont (0-2) hadn’t played since a Dec. 20 exhibition game against Pacific. The rust showed in its threepoint percentage of 26.6% (7of-26). It shot 42.2% overall. The Firebirds (2-0), who have played 10 exhibition games including a Jan. 12 contest at UNLV, shot 49.2% overall and 38.5% from three (10-26). Maurice Woods made a three-pointer to give Saint Katherine its biggest lead of 6852 with 11:34 to go. He led all scorers with 28 points. But Westmont rallied behind a pair of threes by Cade Roth and two others by Abram Carrasco to draw to within 8275 with 1:54 remaining. Tyler Austin blocked a shot by Woods, leading to a fast-break layup by Ajay Singh, to further reduce the deficit to 82-79 with 1:02 left. Singh led the Warriors with 25 points on 9-for-16 shooting. Carrasco added 14 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists. Brown also scored 14 while Austin chipped in with 11 points. Brown nearly tied the game, but his runner lipped out while he was being fouled with 20 seconds to go. His two foul shots brought Westmont to within 82-81, but the Firebirds held onto their lead the entire game. The two teams will play again at Westmont today at 4 p.m. Spectators will not be admitted because of COVID-19 protocol.

The timing looked good for Westmont College to kick off a women’s soccer season that had been delayed five months by the COVID-19 pandemic. Mother Nature had other ideas. The Warriors were set to open at home Thursday against Fresno Pacific, though officials announced Tuesday that the game had been called off due to the heavy rain in the forecast today and Thursday. The two teams hope to reschedule the game for next week. With the postponement, Westmont’s next scheduled game as of Tuesday is on Feb. 2 against Point Loma. No spectators are permitted due to the pandemic. “I’ve seen huge growth,” said coach Jenny Jaggard prior to the postponement. “I feel like we’re starting to click and understand roles. “It’s very realistic to say that we should be competitive, whatever that ends up looking like.” The Warriors return the bulk of a roster that went 16-4-1 last year while advancing to the NAIA quarterfinals. They include a pair of seniors, forward Bri Johnson and midfielder Isabelle Berthoud, who finished as Westmont’s top-

two scorers. Johnson was voted Golden State Athletic Conference Player of the Year and Second Team NAIA AllAmerican after netting a teamhigh 15 goals. “She just has a knack in front of the goal and is super-strong on the ball,” Jaggard said. “She has a shot like a cannon. “She has a lot of motivation, this being her last year. I can’t wait to see her show up and just go crazy in front of the goal.” Berthoud, who is coming off a 10-goal season, is expected to line up at either wing position or as a center attacking midfielder. “She’s got a knack for finishing,” Jaggard said. “In situations where it really matters, in high-pressure moments, she finds a way to score goals.” Junior Katie Stella scored six goals and added three assists last year despite being limited to 13 games due to injury. She returned to score the gamewinner in Westmont’s 2-0 victory over Marymount in last year’s first round of the NAIA Tournament. “She’s extremely athletic and is crafty on the ball,” Jaggard said. “She has a way of scoring goals.” Reese Davidson, who also scored against Marymount while finishing her freshman season with four goals, has shown

improved finishing skills during Westmont’s three weeks of preseason workouts. “She’s definitely finishing more efficiently than I’ve ever seen her,” Jaggard said. “She’s learning how to press and defend in the final third, which is a key thing for me with forwards.” Winger Grace Duckens, who had two goals and two assists in her freshman year, has also “looked very dangerous” during training camp. “She is crazy good one-on-one in the flank space and is another one that’s got a knack for finding the goal or sending in crosses for someone else to finish,” Jaggard said. The Warriors’ second-year coach is also high on winger Sophia Hanreiter. “She has upped her game and is so physically strong,” Jaggard said. “She’s very good at crossing and also has a really good shot. When we’re able to get her high up the field, she’s very effective.” Returning midfielders include two other All-GSAC players: Savannah Scott and Teagan Matye. Scott, who had two goals and two assists last year, is also “one of the best defenders I’ve ever seen,” Jaggard said. “There is no one who is going to get past her,” she said. Jaggard also noted that Matye, who recorded two goals and four assists, “covers more ground than anyone I’ve ever coached.” She describes sophomore Grace Hotaling, a starter at centerattacking mid, as “currently one of our best players. She defends like crazy, wins the ball and does amazing things.” Senior Gabi Haw, last year’s GSAC Co-Player of the Year, is back at goalkeeper after winning NAIA All-America honorable mention. She ranks third in program history with a career goals-against average of 0.76. “Our captain Gabi is very solid back there and makes some

really amazing saves,” Jaggard said. “She’s a great leader and relationally is the glue of the team.” Taylie Scott and Sadie Hill started as freshmen at the two center-back spots, while fellow sophomore Madison Griggs is also emerging on the back line. “We have some good chemistry back there,” Jaggard said. Junior Karly Kingsley, who joined the team last spring, should help fill a void at left back. “She loves to get up and down the flank and is very dangerous serving balls into the box,” Jaggard said. “She can put a cross on a dime where she wants it.” A pair of freshmen — right back

Brynn Howard and midfielder Daisy Alvarez — are also expected to contribute. The Warriors will play in a GSAC pod with Vanguard, Hope International and San Diego Christian. The champions of the league’s two pods will play for the conference title on April 10, with the winner earning a berth to the NAIA National Tournament. “COVID has caused all of us to rethink what our season might actually look like,” Jaggard said, “but I’m really hopeful we’re going to be able to play the 10 games we have scheduled.” email: mpatton@newspress.com

Jahangir-Arshad wins junior golf event by nine strokes By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Shams Jahangir-Arshad, fresh off a ninth-place finish at last summer’s 14-and-under World Junior Golf Championships, moved up to the top junior age class to win last week’s 45th annual Andria’s Seafood Classic. The event, part of the Ventura County Junior Golf Association Mini-Tour, was held at the par-72 Rancho Maria Golf Club in Santa Maria. Jahangir-Arshad, a 14-year-old freshman at San Marcos High, ran away with the Boys Championship Division with a 7-under 137. He made six birdies in the first round to finish at 4-under 68 and carded a 3-under 69 in the final round. He finished nine strokes ahead of second-place Francis Catalano of Camarillo, who shot a two-overpar 146. Leo Metzger, another San Marcos High golfer, placed fifth at 5-over 149 while Santa Barbara High’s Hudson Hatton was tied for seventh at sevenover 151. Other area finishers in the Boys Championship division were Callaway Winans (tied for 27th at 168), Jeffrey Forster (tied for 35th at 173), and Rye Winans (41st at 190). Jahangir-Arshad’s ninth-place finish at last

summer’s 12th annual FCG Callaway World Junior Golf Championship came at courses in Temecula, Menifee and Fallbrook. He shot 80, 73 and 71 for an eight-over 224. Teddy Vigna, who tied for 44th at that same World Junior event with a 244, won the VCJA Andria’s Seafood Classic Boys 11-14 Division by beating Valencia’s Kai Miyata in a playoff. They tied at 8-over 152 after the regulation 36 holes. Vigna shot 76 in each round, overcoming Miyata’s three-stroke lead after the first round. Austin Downing was tied for sixth with a 168. Other area golfers to place were Von Gordon (14th at 186), Marcelo Andrade (15th at 192), and Holdt Gore (16th at 194). Abigail Kim won the Girls 11-14 Division with rounds of 80 and 78 for a total of 158 to finish seven strokes ahead of second-place Kiley Reisner of Northridge. Upcoming VCJGA events include the 34th annual Oxnard City Junior Championships at the River Ridge Golf Club on Feb. 20-21, the 23rd annual McGillvray Construction Classic at Camarillo’s Sterling Hills Golf Club on March 13-14, and the MiniTour Spring Series at Ventura’s Buenaventura Golf Club on March 21. email: mpatton@newspress.com

Commercial eviction moratorium extended By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to extend the expiration date of the prohibition on commercial evictions arising from loss of income or substantial medical expenses related to COVID-19. The board voted 4-1 to adopt an ordinance to extend the expiration date to March 31. The prohibition would have originally expired on Jan. 31, 2021. Second District Supervisor Gregg Hart supported the extension. “The businesses that get closed in this moment are going to have a very, very hard time coming back and being a viable tenant for any landlord,” he said. “We’re in a crisis and we’re trying to do the best we can to protect existing businesses to survive through this moment — this very, very difficult moment — and the restaurants and bars that have been closed for the past almost two months now are particularly vulnerable, and providing some level of relief and protection for them so that they can get back on their feet as soon as it’s safe to do so will return them to being a viable tenant and giving a landlord that income that they need.” He added, “Despite this being an imperfect solution, it is a solution that is needed and important right now.” Chair and 4th District Supervisor Bob Nelson was the lone dissenting vote. “I have heard from various landlords in the last few weeks about this concern,” he said. “Those landlords are small business owners themselves and rely on this income, and I’ve not heard from a single landlord that hasn’t been willing to negotiate and work with their tenant. Even outside the pandemic, that’s been my experience with large commercial landlords and small commercial landlords.” He said that because commercial tenants have employees, they’re eligible for Paycheck Protection Program loans and other financial assistance from the federal or state government. “Not as many of those options are available for landlords at this time that I’ve seen, so that’s a concern for me as well. Although I understand both sides of it, at this point, I’m not likely to support the ordinance,” Mr. Nelson said. “There are other impacts we’re not necessarily seeing. A lot of us just imagine the big commercial landlord and we forget about the little guy.” In other business, the board unanimously approved a proposed amendment to the environmental thresholds and guidelines manual to include new interim thresholds for determining the significance of impacts from greenhouse gas emissions from land use projects and plans. This move will assist the county in complying with the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines and streamline the environmental review process. “In the housing sense, to me, it just makes imminent business sense as well as environmental sense to incentivize construction of housing closest to jobs, which is what this does,” said 1st District Supervisor Das Williams. The board also received a COVID-19 update, and discussed the lifting of the regional stay-athome order, and Santa Barbara County’s new regulations in the purple tier.

to be able to come in and enjoy the atmosphere at the barber shop again.” The sudden ease in lockdown restrictions is prompting mixed reactions from the business community in Santa Barbara County. While some business owners see the ease in restrictions as a chance to reconnect with their customer base, others are skeptical of the timing of the announcement. “It’s ridiculous that (Gov. Newsom) is lifting the restriction for businesses to open in the cold weather and when hospitals are filled with people with COVID-19,” said Alfonso Curti, owner of Trattoria Uliveto in Orcutt. Prior to Monday’s announcement, business owners were given little indication of when the lockdown would end. Jorge Salgado, owner of The Barber Shop in the 1200 block of State Street, said the announcement came “out of the blue,” and he’s been working to “wrap his brain around reopening” in the next couple of days. “I’m ready to get back to business, but I’m also not because I want to make sure everyone is healthy,” Mr. Salgado said. The Barber Shop plans to open at 25% capacity Thursday and is open for appointment only. Since the lockdown period, it has struggled to make ends meet without any customers. “The whole shutdown has taken a toll on business, and I’m trying to keep this dream alive and keep the shop open,” Mr. Salgado said. Mitchell Sjerven, owner of bouchon in Santa Barbara, said without any “forewarning” that the lockdown would be lifted, his restaurant could not open on Tuesday “even if they wanted to.” Without an indication of how long the lockdown would last, Mr. Sjerven closed bouchon Dec. 31, letting go of his staff and diminishing inventory.

excited to hear the announcement. For months, Skyview’s heated patio and pool deck has been vacant, but with the ease of restrictions, hotel guests can now lounge by the pool and enjoy meals from the hotel’s restaurant, Norman, out on the patio. During the lockdown, Skyview’s Norman restaurant offered pickup and delivery services, and they plan to continue to offer these services despite the option to dine at the restaurant. While keeping precautions in mind, Mr. Wright believes the ease in restrictions will bring a boost to small businesses in the Los Alamos community. “The businesses again have the opportunity to continue face-to-face interactions that we’ve developed, and we can give people what they really want, which is to go out and connect and eat,” Mr. Wright said.

our campuses now that this second wave of COVID seems to be declining,” Dr. Wageneck said. When visiting seniors taking the SAT test at school Tuesday, Dr. Wageneck told the students not to give up on returning to class during this school year. In order to open junior high and high schools, the county must reach the red tier for at least five days, or a case rate at or better than seven cases per 100,000 population. District administrators surveyed students about their Wi-Fi connection. Over half of students with Cox internet experience slow connection speeds, and even more students on the district’s wireless hotspots experience the slow speeds and dropped connections. Todd Ryckman, chief educational technology officer, and Superintendent Hilda Maldonado will be speaking with Cox soon to rectify the slow speeds. Many public commenters had a question about a $50,000, six-month contract with Nichols Strategies, LLC, for public relations. The district already has a full-time public relations employee. The timing comes after a lawsuit was filed against the district last fall. The lawsuit, as reported earlier this month by the News-Press, accuses the district of not adequately protecting students from an alleged sexual assailant, Matef Harmachis, who has since been banned from ever teaching again. “I do want to say that the intent of this contract is to improve our communication, and crisis communication is just one aspect of it,” Superintendent Maldonado said. “We also want to be clear that when we speak about public relations, it is not meant to hide or lie. It is actually quite the opposite.” Members passed the resolution in the consent agenda. Other consent agenda items included adding a student board member and construction projects. The board will meet in open session next at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 9.

A waiter at Joe’s Cafe setS outdoor tables on State Street Tuesday in anticipation of a return to in-person service.

Now that the restaurant can reopen, Mr. Sjerven said he is essentially “starting from scratch.” “I think one of the hardest parts of the lockdown since last March has been the inconsistent messaging from the state,” Mr. Sjerven said. Along with many other local business leaders, Mr. Sjerven has closely monitored the COVID-19 case totals in the region and has decided to proceed with caution when it comes to reopening. He has not yet decided on a definite date to reopen, but he plans to gauge how his staff feels about the current COVID-19 case numbers before proceeding. “We are being cautious because numbers are still pretty high in the Santa Barbara area,” Mr. Sjerven said. In other areas across Santa Barbara County, business owners have embraced the governor’s announcement with optimism. Matt Wright, general manager of the Skyview Los Alamos motel, was

The Santa Barbara Zoo is ready to roar. With the stay-at-home order lifted, guests will be able to visit their furry, scaled and feathered friends beginning Saturday by online reservation. “We’re operating just like before the shutdown Dec. 7; reservations need to be made in advance. It allows us to space people out,” the zoo’s CEO Rich Block told the News-Press. The precautions include: masks, physical distancing, frequent sanitization and enclosed exhibit closures. Members can reserve tickets for time slots between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Guests can purchase tickets for periods between 9:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Since the zoo’s closure, it has welcomed new animals: two white-faced saki monkeys named Penelope and Calabaza, two baby flamingos and a fireback pheasant. Lion cub Pauline is another new addition, but handlers are still working to ensure she’s comfortable before her premiere performance. While some animals need time to adjust to humans staring into their homes, others are intrigued by guests. The penguins enjoy people crowding around their exhibit’s railing, Mr. Block said. “I know many of the animals miss having people around; that’s a welcome part of their day, too,” he said. “They’re observing people as much as we’re observing them.” He’s excited to open the gates to the community. “The whole purpose we exist is to provide that connection between people and animals,” he said. Although the reopening is swift

and somewhat unexpected, the zoo’s managers were ready with a plan to reopen. The main step is scheduling previously furloughed staff members. “We’re ready to go. And everybody’s been planning on this, so we’re ready to bring people back,” Mr. Block said. When the original shutdown was enforced in March 2020, managers immediately plotted a reopening process. Since then, they’ve been able to expeditiously adjust to guidance from public health departments. While the zoo was closed, donors stepped up generously, and residents purchased memberships so the zoo could continue its conservation work. “Going back through everything that happened in 2020, you would never know we were closed for a good portion of

the year,” he said. “People did so much. I am incredibly grateful.” Currently, the Australian Walkabout exhibit is under construction. Mr. Block estimates it will be complete this summer. Visitors will get to wander around by kangaroos, wallabies and emus. For those who can’t make it to the zoo in-person, Mr. Block recommends following its social media channels at facebook. com/santabarbarazoo and @ SantaBarbaraZoo on Twitter and Instagram. Tickets are $19.95 for adults, $14.95 for children 2-12, and free for children under 2. Parking is $11.

Input sought for future of Goleta Beach park GOLETA — Santa Barbara County parks officials are seeking public input on the future of Goleta Beach County Park. Parks officials are planning for the park’s future in relation to sea-level rise, coastal erosion and the potential need to redesign, relocate, or remove park facilities due to sea-level and storm-related projected increasing damage to the park in the future, according to a news release. A virtual meeting will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday to discuss the project, which will be followed by a Q and A. A visitor survey is also

available online, and can be accessed at https:// www.surveymonkey.com/r/GoletaBeachSurvey in English and https://es.surveymonkey.com/r/ GoletaBeachEncuesta in Spanish. The park plays a key role in recreational, environmental and social equity values, as well as serving as protection of essential utilities, State Route 217, regional access to UCSB, coastal trails and bike paths, and the Santa Barbara Municipal Airport. The meeting will include discussions on near-term and long-term options for the park. To RSVP or get information on how to join the workshop, email marie.laule@woodplc.com or visit https://www.countyofsb.org/parks/glb29jan.sbc. — Mitchell White
