Supervisors discuss demotion to purple tier Board approves sending letter to Gov. Newsom to allow in-person church services By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Santa Barbara County is now officially back in the most restrictive purple tier in the state’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy after experiencing a spike in COVID-19 cases. The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday discussed the recent demotion, announced by the state on Monday, while also voting to direct county staff to draft a letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom requesting that places

of worship be given the same COVID-19 restrictions as retail businesses. Drafting the letter passed with a 3-2 vote at the meeting, with 2nd District Supervisor and Board Chair Gregg Hart and 3rd District Supervisor Joan Hartmann the two no votes. The county’s demotion comes following a recent spike in COVID-19 cases locally, which mirrors what is happening across many California counties and across the country. Under the new tier status, brought into effect locally with the Health

Officer Order issued Monday night, places of worship must move to outdooronly operations, as must gyms and fitness centers, family entertainment centers, wineries, movie theaters, zoos, aquariums, and cardrooms. Retail businesses such as bookstores, clothing stores, and shoe stores can operate with indoor occupancy limited to 25%. The question of why places of worship haven’t been allowed to hold indoor operations amid the pandemic has been something of a hot topic since the onset of COVID-19. At Tuesday’s meeting, the

subject was breached by 5th District Supervisor Steve Lavagnino. “Everybody is struggling to figure out what is the justification that allows you to be able to go into retail with 25%, but you can’t go to your place of worship, you have to be outside,” he said. Santa Barbara County Public Health Department Director Dr. Van Do-Reynoso said the justification for restricting churches and other places of worship to outdoor services is because social distancing and mask wearing may be disregarded because most attendees have

familiarity with one another. “What I’ve heard is unease with the context of how people gather in an indoor church,” Dr. Do-Reynoso said. Later in the meeting, Mr. Lavagnino made a motion for staff to send a letter to the governor requesting that places of worship be treated the same as retail businesses. Fourth District Supervisor and Board Vice-Chair Peter Adam was in support of the motion and said whether places Please see board on A8

Back to outdoors only State Street businesses not shocked by county’s demotion to purple tier By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Santa Barbara County was demoted to the purple, more restrictive tier as of 11:59 p.m. Tuesday night, and local businesses are forced to take one step back and remove their indoor operations once again. Retail stores are back to a 25% capacity limit, and bars and breweries must serve food to outdoor diners to remain open. Many restaurant and bar owners on State Street said they were not shocked by the news of the return to the purple tier due to rising COVID-19 cases and neighboring counties also being demoted. “We’re not shocked at all,” Brianna Cason, a manager at Institution Ale Company in the 500 block of State Street, told the News-Press. “We pay attention closely to our neighboring counties like Ventura and San Luis Obispo, so we just knew it was a matter of time before it would happen.” While the Health Officer Order didn’t go into effect until late Tuesday, employees at Institution Ale Company removed their indoor tables Tuesday morning in an effort to remind people to eat outside. “Winter in general is our slower season, but I think we’ll definitely see some loss in business,” Ms. Cason said. “I’m a little worried about going back to outdoor dining, only because I think everybody was definitely excited to move indoors and move in that direction.” She added that the brewery is hoping to install more heaters outside to accommodate outdoor diners. John Nasser, the owner of Night Lizard Brewing Company in the 600 block of State Street, said employees have noticed that most people who want to go have a drink only sit inside if they have to, with the only exception being a football game on TV inside. “I’m not surprised. I think we’re in for a tough winter,” he told the News-Press. “I don’t really think things are going to turn around until the vaccine comes out.” He said he already bought a couple more patio heaters, but they prevent him from putting a Please see PURPLE on A8

Jonny D. Wallis Neighborhood Park named 2019 Project of the Year “I don’t think it changes much for us. Business is down, but California traffic is higher.”

“I don’t really think things are going to turn around until the vaccine comes out.”

“Winter in general is our slower season, but I think we’ll definitely see some loss in business.”

“The rain will be a challenge, so we’re thinking of different ways of anticipating the rainy season.”

The Jonny D. Wallis Neighborhood Park is appreciated by more than just Old Town Goleta residents. The California Central Coast chapter of the American Public Works Association named it 2019 Project of the Year. The award was presented last week during a virtual awards ceremony, which was attended by many Goleta city staff members. The city received compliments on the design, amenities and project result. The park, located at 170 S. Kellogg Ave. in Goleta, topped other structures in the $2 to $5 million range. The project opened in March 2019 and was nominated later that year, but the ceremony was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “Jonny D. Wallis Neighborhood Park is a wonderful community park that can be enjoyed by visitors of all age groups and is a reflection of the close collaboration and outreach between the City and the residents of Old Town in the design and layout of the park,” Vyto Adomaitis, director of neighborhood services and public safety, said in a statement. “Our excellent staff at the City and our construction management team, Filippin Engineering, did a truly outstanding job in delivering this long-awaited and beloved project on time and under budget.” The park contains a multipurpose field, basketball court, handball court, concrete pingpong table, bocce ball court, pickleball court, perimeter walking path, fitness nodes with exercise equipment, picnic Please see PARK on A7

How PG&E is improving Public Safety Power Shutoffs in 2020.

Smaller, shorter, smarter.

PG&E is working to make PSPS events smaller, shorter and smarter, by:

Installing over 600 devices that redirect power to limit the size of outages

Using more than 765 advanced weather stations to pinpoint where severe weather is most likely to occur

2

Adding backup generation in some high fire-threat communities to keep the lights on

Nearly doubling our helicopter fleet from 35 to 65 and adding more field crews to cut restoration time in half compared to 2019

Upgrading our Community Resource Centers (while following COVID-19 health guidelines such as the use of masks and social distancing) by providing water, snacks, and other resources

One of the safest, happiest places to be is outside and in nature, and the ocean provides a reprieve from the stresses of school and work and a connection to tribe as youth and adults alike enjoy the ocean and community together,” said Chris Keet, who founded Surf Happens in 2000 and now runs the operation with his wife, Jenny Keet, from their school at Santa Claus Lane, along with a surf shop, also on Santa Claus Lane. “We decided to cancel the 2021 Rincon Classic surfing event to best support safety and health within the community. It is the area’s oldest and most revered surfing contest. In January, it would have been the 39th year of the event. We have postponed it to Jan. 15 and 16, 2022, but there will be an online video contest/ virtual event for 2021 with submissions being taken for the best wave of the winter at Rincon Point with age divisions that generally run at the Classic from the 12 and under to the Legends 56 and up, and the professional division.” Mr. Keet, who was raised on a boat in the Santa Barbara Harbor from the ages of 3 to 18, said, “We have taught the sport of surfing and the spirit of Aloha to students of all ages and abilities from 11 months to 88 years old, raising generations of surfers both locals and visitors. “The ocean was my first love and passion. I was an aspiring young surfer with dreams of becoming a professional surfer and segwayed my passion and athleticism into local surf contests and advanced surf coaching while a student at UCSB.” From 1996 through 2006, Mr. Keet ran the Santa Barbara Surf Series, which evolved in 2000 to offer year-round surf camps, lessons and a full-service surf school named Surf Happens. “Since then, we have taught more than 25,000 surfers and have operated satellites in China, the Philippines and Indonesia,” said Mr. Keet, a five-time national surfing champion and seven-time West Coast champion who was inducted into the UCSB Hall of Fame in 2011. In 2013, he was inducted into the National Scholastic Surfing Association Hall of Fame and Lifetime Achievement for coaching and giving back to the sport of surfing. “Our programs focus on teaching the art and sport of surfing as well as etiquette and how to surf in crowds and show respect in the local line-ups,” he said. “From the first steps of learning the fundamentals of ocean safety, Please see surf on A5 COURTESY PHOTOS

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS

“The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction.� — William Blake

ARIES — You may have had some emotional disappointments lately, but today will restore your faith in love. All you need to do is act. Your amazing lucidity and realism keep you from hoping for the impossible. You’d rather go to work to attain your goals than dilly-dally with illusions. Indeed, you’re more likely to get results from yourself than from other people. TAURUS — Put on your traveling shoes, Taurus. Fear of the unknown may have prompted you to postpone certain trips. You claimed you were too busy, but no one really believed this, not even you. If an opportunity to travel presents itself today, don’t pass it up. It’s silly to avoid life. GEMINI — Something is currently compelling you to be more of a world citizen than usual, Gemini. You may find this somewhat disturbing. You feel as though the roots of your identity, such as your family background and social standing, are dissolving little by little. Comfort yourself with the knowledge that your family is simply changing and expanding. It will stabilize again on another, higher plane. CANCER — Your surroundings are currently changing, Cancer. Perhaps your circle of friends has already undergone a major change. The fact is that you no longer have so many prejudices about the people you meet, and no longer seek only a certain type of person as a friend. You accept whoever comes along. You may not realize it, but your attitude is completely different now than it once was. Good for you! LEO — Leo, you’re demystifying the concept of talent. You used to look enviously at other people and think, “I wish I had a natural ability like that.� Now you understand that the person who aroused your envy with is just someone who had the self-confidence to go to work and refine and develop an aptitude. It’s a matter of hard work, belief in oneself, and bravery in the face of risk. You can do it, too! VIRGO — Are you thinking of going into business for yourself, Virgo? Being self-employed doesn’t automatically mean you will have more freedom. Of course, you will be your own boss, but you will also bear all the +*#!2 +1$)"$responsibility for the success or failure of your enterprise. If you

quit, the whole thing will collapse. Think about it. Base your decision on reality and not fantasy. LIBRA — Something is currently compelling you to be more of a world citizen than usual, Gemini. You may find this somewhat disturbing. You feel as though the roots of your identity, such as your family background and social standing, are dissolving little by little. Comfort yourself with the knowledge that your family is simply changing and expanding. It will stabilize again on another, higher plane. SCORPIO — Often fiery temperaments like yours are drawn to fight for great causes despite the better judgment of more down-to-Earth people. As a result, you have great leadership potential that may emerge today. Your courage, enthusiasm, and vigor will be contagious when you climb onto your soapbox. SAGITTARIUS — Your optimism is likely to receive a little boost today, Sagittarius. A memorable emotional encounter may be the source of some extra zeal. Or you may derive great satisfaction from being part of a group. The nagging chores of daily life will be forgotten for today at least. The outlook is nothing but positive! CAPRICORN — Perhaps you should suspend your inhibitions for the day, Capricorn, and let your dreams guide you. For instance, you might imagine that the need to make any choices has vanished. Or you might grant yourself a vacation from daily chores. It would certainly be a relief. Who knows? You might conjure up some reality from the stuff of your dreams. AQUARIUS — This is the type of day you enjoy. The climate is positive, and the energy is flowing. It’s as though you have a magic wand. You give it a wave and - presto - the day’s tasks and chores are done! By this evening, you’ve scarcely tapped your energy levels. Your family will be very happy to spend some quality time with you. PISCES — If the world collapsed today, you wouldn’t bat an eyelash. You’re perfectly content sailing along on cloud nine! The source of your bliss could be that new person in your life. Are you passionately, intensely, wonderfully in love? You can yield to the magic. Let it bring out the positive parts of your personality but keep your wits about you all the same!

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 Alisal Guest Ranch & Resort has partnered with biosafety company R-Zero Systems and has added UV-C disinfection technology to its guest cottages, suites and rooms.

Alisal Guest Ranch adds disinfection protocols By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The Alisal Guest Ranch & Resort is the first hotel partner of biosafety company R-Zero Systems, and is incorporating UV-C disinfection protocol into each of the propert’s 73 guest cottages, suites and rooms. Incorporating R-Zero’s hospitalgrade UV-C system, known as Arc, is just one step The Alisal has taken to ensure guest and employee health and safety while on the Solvang property. The resort also continues to offer expanded outdoor dining offerings, maintain physical distancing requirements, provide hand sanitizer and wash stations throughout the property and ensure employees have personal protective equipment, according to a news release. The Alisal also is adhering to strict housekeeping standards and limiting capacity for all activities, officials said. “Our highest priority at The Alisal is the health and wellbeing of our guests, members, employees and our community,� Kathleen Cochran, general manager of The Alisal Guest Ranch & Resort, said in a statement. “Through our partnership with R-Zero and their UV-C technology, we will be able to provide a critical layer of added infection protection and

environmental safety in each of our guest rooms. Additionally, Arc’s short disinfection cycles allows our team to focus on providing the exceptional service and experiences our guests have come to know and love.� Arc is used in each room prior to guests’ arrival, disinfecting both surfaces and air, ensuring the highest level of safety within guest room spaces. Designed to deliver the highest level of efficacy and efficiency, Arc’s powerful UV-C destroys 99.99% of known pathogens and diseases, including the coronavirus, common cold, and seasonal flu, disinfecting a 1,000 square foot space in just seven minutes. Considered environmentally safe and eco-friendly, UV-C destroys pathogens without the use of chemicals or pesticides, and is safe to use around food, plants, furniture, and electronics. This proven technology has also been used in hospitals for more than a century to kill bacteria, viruses, molds, including many human pathogens. Most recently, UV-C has been used to decontaminate the N95 masks of doctors and healthcare heroes, according to officials. For more information about The Alisal, visit www.alisal.com.

Adam calls restrictions on religious services ‘draconian’ board

Continued from Page A1 of worship hold indoor services should be left up to them. “I think we need to allow people to make those choices, and especially with respect to practice of religion,” he said. He added that the restrictions on religious services were “draconian” and that he couldn’t believe it hadn’t been litigated yet. Mr. Hart said allowing places of worship to hold indoor services was a “dangerous idea.” Pointing to a graph showing the county’s seven-day average adjusted case rate per 100,000 residents since February, the board chair said the current growth of local COVID-19 cases is on a trajectory to create a spike larger than that which occurred over the summer. “This is the moment to maintain our vigilance and our resolve, and control that from happening, or not,” he said. He added that the public is being asked to wear masks and maintain social distancing over a period of time in order to prevent a massive death toll. “I don’t think this extreme or unwarranted in response to the threat that we are facing, and I think this is the perfect moment for us to decide what side of that effort we are on. Are we going to stay the course and protect our residents and neighbors, or are we going to quit because we are tired? The virus isn’t going to stop because we are tired,” he said. Ms. Hartmann was also against the idea of sending a letter to the governor so the county can avoid a spike in hospitalizations, as was Dr. Do-Reynoso. “I professionally through many discussions with my colleagues, as well as with our health officer, we do not believe that inside church services during a purple tier where there’s widespread is the most prudent,” she said. While 1st District Supervisor Das Williams said he didn’t think places of worship holding indoor services would be the most prudent course of action, he expressed support for sending a letter on the grounds that he didn’t think commerce should be given preferential treatment over exercising religious liberty. “The bottom line is, I do not want to live in a society where money and commercial activity matters more than our deepest held religious freedoms,” he said. Many of the public commenters at Tuesday’s meeting were critical of further restrictions and changes the governor made to the Blueprint for a Safer Economy. Under Gov. Newsom’s changes, a county’s test positivity data will be from a four-day lag rather than a sevenday lag, counties will be moved to a more restrictive tier with one week of worsening metrics rather than the previous two weeks, and can be moved back more than one tier at a time if metrics determine it is needed. The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department reported 36 daily cases of COVID-19 in the county on Tuesday, bringing its total number of confirmed cases up to 10,612. There were no deaths reported on Tuesday. Of the 10,612 confirmed cases, 10,224 of them are recovered, 255 are still infectious, and 133 are individuals who have died. A plurality of the daily cases from Tuesday, 12, were in Santa Maria. Seven were in Santa Barbara, four were in Lompoc, the South County Unincorporated Area and Isla

Vista each had three, Orcutt had two, and Goleta, the Santa Ynez Valley, and the unincorporated area of the Goleta Valley and Gaviota each had one. Two daily cases from Tuesday are still pending. The Santa Barbara Unified School District posted a video Tuesday of Superintendent Hilda Maldonado addressing the purple tier assignment. “At this time, we will be consulting with our school board on next steps,” she said. “The purple tier means that schools are not allowed to open. If we do remain in purple and we apply for a waiver and it is approved, that means we can reopen as planned on Jan. 19. “As a reminder, waivers for reopening are not an option for junior high and high schools. We realize that there are many unknowns, but at this time we will continue to plan for three possible scenarios.” The first scenario, under the purple tier designation, would include reopening elementary grades via waivers, while keeping distance learning in place at the secondary level. The second scenario, also in the purple tier, would be to continue distance learning for all grade levels. The third scenario, under the red or less-restrictive tier, would reopen all district campuses on Jan. 19 with a hybrid model. Last week, district parents were asked about their position on in-person hybrid or distance learning for their student. “Depending on where we are as a county in terms of transmission rates, we will be communicating with families to clarify our next steps,” Ms. Maldonado said. “At this time, only existing cohorts will continue and no new cohorts will be added. Under the more restrictive purple tier, cohorts may not mix and are limited to 14 students and two adults. Students will be permitted to participate in one cohort group.” Ms. Maldonado asked parents to check the district website, www.sbunified.org, and view the frequently asked questions page, which addresses more than 30 questions regarding the current COVID-19 situation. In other news Tuesday, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department announced that two custody deputies have tested positive for COVID-19. The two deputies, who reportedly had unrelated possible exposures, sought community testing on Saturday and both tested positive, said Lt. Erik Rainey, sheriff’s spokesman. The two tested negative on Nov. 10 while on duty at the Santa Barbara County Main Jail as part of routine surveillance testing. One of the custody deputies began experiencing symptoms on Saturday after a potential family exposure and was tested. The other custody deputy was notified through contact tracing of a potential exposure in Los Angeles County and sought testing. Both deputies last worked in the custody facility on Nov. 12. All deputies assigned to custody facilities within the Sheriff’s Office are required to wear personal protective equipment while in the facilities. This brings the total number of Sheriff’s employees who have tested positive for COVID-19 to 45, including 42 who have recovered, Lt. Raney said.

Sunglass Brands International, in the 700 block of State Street, has seen more local sales in recent months due to the State Street promenade.

‘The promenade has helped a lot’ PURPLE

Continued from Page A1 tent over his deck which would be useful when the rainy season comes. “I’ve got my locals to protect me who come in — they know everybody’s having a hard time,” Mr. Nasser continued. “The promenade has helped a lot. If that hadn’t happened, it would be worse than it is now.” However, the owner said that mask compliance has practically become muscle memory for customers, and he still has space for 58 customers out front and 24 in the parking lot out back as a last resort. “What I’d like to see in this town is, we’re all only going to come out of the back end of this if we work together,” Mr. Nasser said. “There’s going to be four really slow months here. If we could just work together, if there was a way we could relieve some of the financial stress and create some opportunities for businesses to stay afloat…” The general manager of Joe’s Cafe in State Street’s 500 block, Joey Somerville, also said he wasn’t surprised by the move back to the purple tier. “We were optimistic that we would keep improving, but it seems like the numbers have been going up steadily in the nation,” he told the News-Press. “It was just a matter of time before California started to get hit again. We weren’t surprised — we were just hopeful.” He said that Joe’s Cafe is fortunate to have a nice outdoor table set up with many tables, but the winter will likely affect them like every other business. “We’re only in November. When it’s down to the 50s and 60s, even if you have heaters, I mean that’s what we’re dealing with,” Mr. Somerville said. “The rain will be

a challenge, so we’re thinking of different ways of anticipating the rainy season and seeing what we can do about it.” The general manager added that mask compliance has improved since the reopening of restaurants, but employees can see groups on the street just carrying their masks. “The idea is to have the mask on, especially when State Street is crowded,” he said. “We’ve had better responses from the locals. They seem to get it, but we get a little bit of pushback from the out of towners.” Not all businesses are entirely impacted by the more restrictive guidance, though. Minesh Kantaira owns Sunglass Brands International in the 700 block of State Street, and he said the nature of the store actually benefited from the closure of the street. “I don’t think it changes much for us,” he told the News-Press. “Business is down, but California traffic is higher.” According to the store owner, only 10% of its business is local, and it mostly caters to tourists or other visitors who lost or forgot their sunglasses. Without tourists, business goes down, but more Santa Barbara residents walk past the store because of the State Street promenade. “Business is actually higher if you don’t count the 40% European visitors coming in the summer,” Mr. Kantaira said. “Overall, we’ve been up a couple of months or down a couple of months.” The store must remain at 25% capacity, but the owner said it hasn’t been much of a problem.
