Coast Village Road feels liberated Street vibrant again with shoppers and diners

The Nugget Bar and Grill welcomes customers with some humor at Camino Real in Goleta.

Goleta experiences the start of a revival

or the first time in weeks, Coast Village Road shoppers and diners spent Tuesday morning at their favorite local spots.

The Nurture Cottage children’s store at 1213 Coast Village Road welcomed shoppers with colorful children’s clothes, shoes and accessories.

A family of Maileg mouse dolls greeted customers from their display at the front of the store.

Spokeswoman Dana Otanez said the store is following all Santa Barbara County Public Health department guidelines and only allows up to three

people in the store at one time.

“We are all wearing our masks and cleaning constantly during the day. We cleaned this place stem to stem, and we continue to do it every day,” Ms. Otanez said.

She said the store is still working on a “fitting” policy, but staff quarantine all returned items for 24 hours before returning them to the floor.

“We’re following what a lot of other stores are doing, which is if we get a return, we quarantine it so it’s not constantly in rotation,” Ms. Otanez said.

She thanked the Montecito community for investing in local businesses, especially during hard economic times.

West Wind Drive-In joins reopened businesses, diners enjoy eating at Camino Real

By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A

ny question whether the West Wind Drive-In in Goleta would reopen was laid to rest on Memorial Day when the outdoor theater started showing movies again.

It was one more sign of local efforts toward better times for the economy.

According to the West Wind website, its Goleta location started back up Monday with a Harry Potter double feature, showing “Harry Potter and

the Sorcerer’s Stone,” followed by “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.” The drivein repeated the same double feature Tuesday night.

To promote safety amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the drivein operated under strict rules.

As listed in a post on the theater’s Facebook page, these included requirements that guests wear a face covering when leaving their cars and that they stay in their cars at all times except for going to the restroom. Rules also ensure that no more than two people are in the restroom at the same time, with exceptions made for

children accompanied by their parents.

Vehicles must also be parked within 10 feet of each other.

The drive-in’s reopening is a major addition to the recent push toward restarting the local economy.

Many Santa Barbara area restaurants reopened last week and are now allowing outdoor dining. They’ve expanded their patios since blocks of State Street were closed off to traffic, effectively turning the street into a promenade.

At Camino Real Marketplace in Goleta, the News-Press ran into several Goleta and Santa

Barbara residents enjoying meals on the patios of the shopping center’s restaurants and asked them how it feels to be a step closer to normalcy.

As he was enjoying a meal from On the Alley, one man who just gave his first name, Alan, was very happy to be out eating and remarked that he himself is “not concerned about the virus at this point.” However, he did say that social distancing and wearing face coverings are courtesies that should continue for the sake of those who are more worried about the virus.

t was Monday evening at Albertsons on Calle Real, and an employee was alert.

She saw a customer not wearing a mask at the Goleta store, where six-feet distances are marked on the floor on the checkout lines. She told the customer to wear a mask, then went on the intercom to remind everyone to do likewise.

It was one example of the efforts by various businesses to keep people safe as Santa Barbara County makes progress toward reopenings and a more normal world.

Most people seem to be following regulations

and wearing masks inside businesses. Outside, many people are wearing them throughout the county during the COVID-19 pandemic. That includes the residents and tourists on the new pedestrian promenade on State Street and the wide open spaces of Stearns Wharf.

There are signs reminding people to stay six feet apart. A couple large ones caught the News-Press’ eye Tuesday on the wharf.

Six feet is the social distancing measure that health officials and organizations around the world stress is crucial to flattening the curve.

From left, Laura Cook, Pat Beals, Billy Holmes, Louis Moore and Lynn Menicucci gather at Mrs. Beals’ home in Carpinteria. They’re volunteers who work on thousands of masks.

Neighbor to Neighbor

By CHRISTIAN WHITTLE NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

‘C

Mrs. Beals displays one of her handsewn masks.

arpinteria is an unusual, extraordinary little town,” said 81-yearold retiree Pat Beals.

“It’s very plain and simple, but the people are so cohesive and caring and generous and kind.”

If you need proof, look no further than Neighbor to Neighbor.

That’s a volunteer mask making initiative run by Mrs. Beale and her neighbors in Carpinteria.

With dozens of volunteers and reportedly the most efficient operation in town, Neighbor to Neighbor has become a testament to the family values of Carpinteria, where friends have come together to sew and donate masks with so much effort you’d think it was their full-time job.

“This place was made for a volunteer effort like this,” said Mrs. Beals. “It is an honor. When I think about it, I cry because it really touches your heart.”

Neighbor to Neighbor is a group of 69 volunteers taking on wire and cloth cutting, sewing, distribution and management to manufacture thousands of masks for businesses and organizations around the county.

Although they started keeping track late in the game, the group of business owners, retirees and lifelong sewing enthusiasts have put approximately 10,000 masks into production.

Neighbor to Neighbor has so far donated masks to 51 organizations, businesses, agencies and restaurants in Carpinteria, Santa Barbara and Goleta. They include Lemo’s Pet Supply, Postal workers, Carpinteria Community Church, Assisted Living, the Goleta Trader

Joe’s, the Boys & Girls Clubs, Nutbelly and Jack’s Bistro, just to name a few.

Recently, Mrs. Beals asked for a list of where Neighbor to Neighbor masks have been distributed from one of the volunteers.

“When I got it I was stunned. I had no idea we’d covered so many.

I think we’ve got all of Carpinteria covered,” said Mrs. Beals.

At first, it was just Mrs. Beals making masks. All the way back in February, she realized that they were going to be needed.

Mrs. Beals has considerable experience with mass production sewing. Now retired, she founded multiple costume and dress-up chest companies, starting when she was 28 years old, growing her business until her designs were sold in Costcos around the world.

Because she knew masks were going to be needed, Mrs. Beals simply began making them.

Lynn Menicucci, a retired nurse and Mrs. Beals’ good friend, was incredulous at first, and said no one would use masks that were not N95 quality.

“She kept knocking at me and biting my heels, which she does,” laughed Mrs. Beals. “She has a great sense of humor and I love her to death. By mid-March I was just buried with requests.”

Now Neighbor to Neighbor is a seriously intense group effort.

Ms. Menicucci offered to lend a hand and manage phone calls and distribution.

“I think she probably regrets that every day of her life now. I mean, we’re two old women who came out of retirement, cranked up our engines and got going on this!” said Mrs. Beals.

“Hers is the hardest job because she has to say no to some people.

‘No, this care facility needs them more than your family does.’ ‘No,

Stacks of supplies for handsewn masks sit at Pat Beals’ home in Carpinteria.

this family needs them more than your care facility.’ ” Everyone brings something to the table.

Louise Moore, founder of Crafty Ladies, a group who sews pillowcase dresses for girls in third world countries, took on supervising the sewing volunteers.

Although she says she’s not great at sewing, Mrs. Beals’ talents lie in mass production.

In the ’90s, she traveled frequently to China and Taiwan, teaching factories best practices for efficient production. Now she applies the same principles with Neighbor to Neighbor, albeit with volunteers instead of employees.

“I’m good at this. I have a long background in this and all this stuff I’ve learned the hard way I apply it to how we produce our masks. I’m working with home sewers, and they’re not as agreeable to doing it in full on mass production techniques.

Working with volunteers is a

lot different than working with employees!”

Nevertheless, her streamlined organization seems to have paid off.

“In Santa Barbara, the most coordinators up there tell me we’re just by a longshot ahead in terms of quantity,” said Mrs. Beals.

“We are burning holes in the ground, we’re going so fast now.”

Neighbor to Neighbor volunteers package materials for 20 masks and distribute them to the people sewing. After they sew the masks, they are delivered to another group who insert the elastic before they are sent to distribution.

Ms. Menicucci fields requests and emails regarding donations, and then sends the finished product to Carpinteria’s 76 gas station where they are picked up.

A lot of credit for keeping the operation going goes to Bill Please see neighbors on A4

He keeps at it despite his busy job as a general contractor. “It’s a good group. Tightly organized and real friendly. We grow every day,� said Mrs. Beals.

families, and is currently working on an order for the Santa Barbara Police Department and distributing to Carpinteria’s mobile home parks and Hispanic community.

They are constantly on the lookout for volunteers, especially people to sew.

Those interested in sewing or cutting or who want to request a mask can contact lynnmenicucci@ yahoo.com.

In Carpinteria, everyone wants to be a part of the effort, said Mrs. Beals.Â

“This pandemic has really brought the goodness out of people. It’s given us an opportunity just as human beings to relate to each other. To see each other, to actually see with more than just our eyeballs and to show our care and help each other,� said Mrs. Beals. “It’s exhausting, it’s inspiring, it breaks your heart with joy, it breaks your heart with sadness.

It’s incredible. “It’s a lifetime experience.â€? email: cwhittle@newspress.com  Â

PET of the WEEK

ex wants to sit next to you and lick peanut butter from his Kong.

For this 6½-year-old pittie-type dog, life can’t get better than that.

Rex, whose goal is to spend time with you, is awaiting adoption at the Santa Maria Animal Center.

Rex came to the shelter in late December with signs of neglect.

Until then, he lived outside all his life, and his feet were badly swollen, cracked and bleeding.

His skin and eyes were irritated.

Since coming to the shelter, Rex received treatment and is feeling great. He dreams of a relaxed, low/ medium energy home with no small children. He also is looking for an owner to take care of his medical needs, which include medication for his skin and a daily

soak for his feet.

You can schedule a meet and greet with Rex at the animal center, 548 W. Foster Road, Santa Maria. Call 805-934-6119, ext.

6. The shelter is part of Santa Barbara County Animal Services.

Rex’s adoption is being promoted by the Santa Barbara County Animal Care Foundation.

The foundation provides lifesaving funds to aid injured, sick and neglected animals at the three Santa Barbara County Animal Services shelters. It also provides education and affordable spay/neuter assistance. For more information, call the foundation at 805-260-2386 or go to www. sbcanimalcare.org or write SBCACF, P.O. Box 86, Goleta 93116.

There were promises of something more special to come. While I didn’t expect the extravagant experience I gave them (our financial situations are different), I thought they might plan lunch or dinner at a nice restaurant. Since then, nothing more has been said or done.

This was a couple of years ago, and I still can’t let go of my hurt and disappointment. We’ve been friends for more than 20 years, but I’m thinking of ending the relationships.

Every time I see them, I wonder if our friendship is one-sided. How can I get past this? — Disappointed in Dallas Dear Disappointed: Your mistake was going over the top with their birthday splurges. When you do something nice for someone, you shouldn’t expect reciprocation. Concentrate on the positive aspects of your relationship with them, and let the rest go.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS

Thought for Today

ARIES — Take care of the people around you, Aries. Service is an important part of the day, as compassion and caring are at the forefront of your mind. Be a reassuring caregiver for someone close who needs a nurturing shoulder, whether in the safety of your home or through the miracle of electronic communication. You’ll win many loyal friends to your side as you share your passionate nature with others.

TAURUS — You may feel as if you’re sinking into an emotional vortex, Taurus. Be careful about asserting ownership over things that aren’t really yours to claim. It’s important not to accuse someone of being a thief when you have no facts to back up that accusation. Keeping things in balance may be difficult with the great amount of emotional sensitivity in the air at this time. A little generosity of spirit will go a long way.

GEMINI — Your thinking is quite clear, Gemini, and you’ll find that your emotions support your mental processes. Your psychic nature is strong, so you should trust your hunches. The masculine and feminine sides of your being are working together harmoniously to balance out the degree of give versus take in your world. The key to maintaining this careful balance is not taking on other people’s problems as if they were your own.

CANCER — You may need to keep your spaceship idle today, Cancer, and perform a safety check for your crew. Make sure everyone on board is informed of the destination. It could be that you just picked them off the street without really telling them where they might end up. It’s important that you not drag people unwittingly into your world. If they voluntarily give the controls to you, however, that’s a different story.

LEO — Things may not be as obvious as they first seem today, Leo. Don’t get started on a project until you understand the full scope of what you’re getting into. Otherwise, you may find yourself caught in the middle of an emotional drama that leaves you little room for escape. Don’t be surprised if your motivation suddenly dissipates and you’re left with no incentive to get your work done.

VIRGO — Don’t try to force your ideas on anyone, Virgo. It’s important to maintain neutrality so that you can act from a steady state of mind when someone brings you an issue that needs to be dealt with right away. The key is to act rather than react to a situation. If you know you’re right about something, keep it to yourself. There’s no need to rub it in anyone’s face and tell

them they’re wrong.

LIBRA — Your intuitive nature is especially strong, Libra. You won’t have to think about things because today you just know the answers.

If any penetrating detective work needs to happen, this would be an excellent time to do it. Your caring, sensitive nature will get you through any door you want to walk through?metaphorically, of course, since you’re sheltering in place.

Keep that smile on your face at all times.

SCORPIO — Any argument you start today is likely to erupt into a brutal emotional battle, Scorpio, so beware. Try not to tread on anyone else’s turf, because you’ll find that they’re likely to be possessive and even belligerent about defending what is rightfully theirs. Avoid volcanic eruptions of energy. Don’t pick fights where they aren’t needed. You can civilly resolve issues without doing harm to others.

SAGITTARIUS — You may find that people are likely to challenge your mental process today, Sagittarius. Don’t be surprised if they seem to argue with your ideas left and right. Your heart may be especially tender, and any sort of perceived attack could affect you deeply. On the other hand, you can use your sensitivity to calm a situation that needs to be remedied.

CAPRICORN — The key for you today, Capricorn, is using your heart more than your head.

Base your actions on your feelings and inner understanding of the situation. Facts alone may deceive you if you’ve become too reliant on a single, linear, logical way of thinking. Just as the pandemic has shown us the minute complexities of our world, you need to recognize the interconnectedness between many different areas in your life.

AQUARIUS — Things should go especially well for you today, Aquarius, so don’t worry about any of it. Life doesn’t necessarily get easier as you get older?you just learn how to deal with things.

You’ll find this to be true right now as your incredible sensitivity and wisdom make it possible for you to attain a clearer perspective. You realize that, despite the fear and disruption of COVID-19, things may actually be much better than you thought.

PISCES — The more attention you try to get from other people today, Pisces, the more they’ll ignore your fancy displays and grandiose ideas. Take a much more sensitive approach. You’ll be a better when you walk behind people, encouraging them along?at a safe distance, of course. Earn the respect of others by understanding and relating to their emotions.

Your heart is big and bold, and you have a lot of love to give.

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.

Goalkeeper Vom Steeg hopes MLS summer season is a keeper, too

By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

J

ustin Vom Steeg is no longer banging a soccer ball — and his head — against the wall.

The former San Marcos High and UCSB goalkeeper resumed individual workouts with the Los Angeles Galaxy last week to prepare for a summer tournament that Major League Soccer hopes to hold in Florida.

“There are still some details to work out, but everyone wants to get back to playing,” said Vom Steeg, who’s been holed up inside his Santa Monica residence for much of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The players union and the league are negotiating salary cuts and things like that.

“There are just a lot of moving parts.”

The Galaxy was two games into its season when the coronavirus forced the MLS to halt all play on March 12.

“My girlfriend (Isabella Teague) and I had to stay inside a lot, trying to stay safe,” said Vom Steeg, who’s in his second season with the Galaxy’s top club. “I was mostly throwing the ball against the wall, going to a nearby park to train by myself … going on walks like everyone else.”

He did return home for a few days and worked out at UCSB where his father, Tim Vom Steeg, has been the head men’s soccer coach since 1999. Justin was the Gauchos’ starting goalkeeper in 2015, posting six shutouts to earn All-Big West Conference honorable mention and AllFreshman Team honors. He signed a professional contract with Germany’s Fortuna Dusseldorf after that season.

“I actually got to play with my two twin brothers, Jared and Caden, when I was up in Santa Barbara,” he said. “It was a lot of fun. They’re going to be seniors this year at San Marcos, and they’ve gotten really good.

They’ve got a lot of potential.”

His other brother, Carson, hopes to return to the Gaucho lineup this fall. Carson Vom Steeg served as the color commentator for the live-stream telecasts of UCSB soccer matches last fall while sitting out the season with a torn knee ligament.

“The injury situation was unfortunate, but he did a really good job on those telecasts,” Justin said. “I’ve been listening to Gerry Fall forever — ever since I could walk — and to hear Gerry and Carson working together was awesome.

“We talk sports 24/7 at our

house so I wasn’t surprised that Carson was good at it.”

Justin resumed his individual workouts with the Galaxy on the outside fields at Dignity Health Sports Park on May 18.

“It’s been better, getting to the stadium, even though we’re not even allowed inside the locker room,” he said. “It’s all pretty strange. The goalkeeper coach has to stay six feet apart from me, and he has to wear gloves and a mask. I’m not even allowed to hit the ball to him.

“It’s better than nothing, though.”

The MLS is ramping up for a summer romp in Orlando, Fla. — a no-fans-allowed, televised tournament that would begin in early July at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.

The event would divide the league’s 26 teams into four groups, with the top two from each group advancing to an eightteam, knockout round. Group stage games — but not knockout-

round games — will be counted in the MLS regular-season standings.

The MLS plans to keep the players quarantined and secluded in the Orlando complex with strict testing protocol.

“I’d love to get back out there playing, but it is tough asking people to go eight-to-10 weeks in quarantine without seeing anyone,” Vom Steeg said. “A lot of players have families and even pregnant spouses, and it’s tough to leave family for that long— especially when you’re across the country.

“My girlfriend isn’t too thrilled about it, although she does understand.”

He turned 23 last month and is the Galaxy’s backup to David Bingham, a 30-year-old Cal graduate. Vom Steeg played 34 matches during two seasons (2017-18) in the United Soccer League for Galaxy II before his promotion to the Galaxy’s top club.

“The pandemic came at an unfortunate time for me,” Vom Steeg said. “I was looking forward to this season and getting an opportunity to compete for a starting spot on the first team. But then there never really is a good time for something like this.

“I could be thinking, ‘Why me?’

But talking to a couple of the older players on the team, they’re really upset about the situation since they only have maybe one or two seasons left.

“I’m also on the younger side so it’s easier to stay in shape and fit.

It takes a little bit longer for the older guys.”

Bingham was in goal for Cal during UCSB’s controversial loss at Berkeley during the second round of the 2010 NCAA Tournament. The Gauchos lost in the final second of overtime, 2-1, after playing a man down for 78 minutes. Gaucho All-American Luis Silva had been ejected with a controversial red card for his slide tackle on Cal’s Servando Carrasco — an indignity that included Carrasco’s unpenalized slap to his face.

Carrasco, like Bingham, has been Justin Vom Steeg’s Galaxy teammate for the last two years.

“We do joke about it,” Vom Steeg said. “That was 10 years ago when I was 13, but I was in the stands and I remember it vividly.

“That UCSB team was so good — it was one of the best Gaucho teams ever. I thought it was going to win a national championship, especially with the College Cup being in Santa Barbara that year.

It was like the entire season was lined up for that to happen.

“For it to end that way was horrible.”

He does have a former Gaucho teammate on his side. Nick DePuy, who played at UCSB from 2013-16, was signed by the Galaxy this season after playing for the Danish Superliga’s Fremad Amager. He was a first-team AllAmerican in 2015 when he led UCSB with 15 goals.

“Nick has been awesome — it’s been good to have a familiar face around,” Vom Steeg said. “He had a really good preseason and was playing super-well. He started the first couple of games and was really on a roll.”

And then they all ran into the roadblock known as COVID-19.

“I was getting pretty crazy, but this initial training has helped,” Vom Steeg said. “It’s been good to go to the stadium and get at least some kind of normalcy.”

“We think it’s really important to maintain distance at close quarters and wear masks just to be respectful of others,” he said.

Santa Barbara resident Denise Lumiere said she “feels great” being able to go to restaurants for outdoor dining and appreciates that businesses are starting to reopen. That said, she believes precautions like social distancing should continue to be observed and that people shouldn’t become careless as the economy gets restarted.

“I feel good about it, and I’m hoping that people don’t take too many risks and start spreading it,” she said.

However, some diners on the patios of Camino Real restaurants were present despite feeling a great deal of anxiety about being among other people. As she and her husband were having lunch at Natural Café, Goleta resident Rachel Quittner admitted that she is “still uncomfortable” going to restaurants with crowds.

She explained that she and her husband only sat down to a meal because the patio wasn’t crowded when they arrived.

Goleta resident and Natural Café patron Heather Power felt similarly, but not quite as nervous.

She said she feels comfortable being out and about “as long as people are continuing to social distance and be smart about it.”

She added, “I would not have come here today if people were not social distancing.”
