CORONAVIRUS

Week One of Santa Barbara

Shutdown

Reports on How Coronavirus Has Changed Our Lives Forever

I

magine a nuclear winter without an atomic bomb, a raging wildfire with no yesterday or tomorrow, and the utterly overwhelming economic disruption caused by a general strike. If you combine all that, then maybe, just maybe, you will get an inkling of what we’re all facing.

The word unprecedented has been used an awful lot lately. When Santa Barbara County Health Officer Dr. Henning Ansorg, now approaching his first 365 days on the job, was expressing his dismay at how much time he spent just learning about the For up-to-date COVID-19 looming pandemic, let alone reacting to it, and then cominformation and statistics, visit municating about it, he felt that was unprecedented. But that was last week. Since then, things have gotten a whole lot more unprecedented.

The United States has yet to feel the full fury of COVID-19, the flu that is not a flu, a brand-new disease with no vaccine, no cure, and no immunity. Santa Barbara has gotten off relatively unscathed: no deaths,

INDEPENDENT.COM/ CORONAVIRUS-NEWS.

no hospitalizations, and only two confirmed cases. So far. Even so, our world has been turned upside down and inside out. Schools have been canceled, UCSB placed on virtual reality lockdown, movies banned, bowling banned, concerts banned, bars banned, and restaurants banned. Any commercial mass-indoor activity that induces the production of human sweat will be verboten: yoga, dancing, spinning. Paradise has become a ghost town. The Santa Barbara courthouse has been closed until further notice. Parks have been shut down.

The economic implications are already beginning to be felt. One downtown restaurant owner just laid off 350 workers. A well-known coffeehouse entrepreneur laid off another 26. Landlords—both commercial and residential—are being told they can’t evict tenants. Social distancing, we are told, is the only way to “flatten out the curve.” That’s public-health speak to slow down the onslaught so the 62 hospital rooms Santa Barbara County has that are equipped to handle the disease aren’t overwhelmed.

That’s like catching the contents of a fire hose in a shot glass. It may seem impossible, but it’s our only hope. Other countries managed to pull it off. In the meantime, what we know today is obsolete tomorrow.

The situation, the experts say, is extremely fluid, the same way Niagara Falls is fluid. As Santa Barbara scrambles to come to terms with something for which no terms exist, the staff at the Independent has scrambled as well. This is what we’ve found out. By next week, it will all be different. —Nick Welsh

Car-Based Testing Launched Sansum Chief Worries About Short Supplies

T

hough Sansum Clinic’s experimental “car-based” COVID-19 testing program at its Urgent Care Center on Pesetas Lane off Highway 154 can’t compare with South Korea’s huge drive-through testing programs, it’s a small start in the right direction. Sansum CEO Dr. Kurt Ransohoff said the new pilot program—by appointment only—will help determine whether it should be expanded to other locations given the realities of the Central Coast medical world and the nation’s ever-evolving testing capacity.

Right now, Ransohoff stated, all publicly owned and operated labs in Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo counties are only capable of processing “dozens of tests a day.” Though the big corporate labs such as Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp have recently expanded that capacity by many thousands, their increased production must serve the entire nation. Mega-companies like Roche are projected to

Sansum CEO Dr. Kurt Ransohoff 6

MARCH 19, 2020

enlarge capacity significantly, but not immediately.

For the time being, Ransohoff said the demand for tests vastly eclipses the supply. Making matters worse, it’s flu season. “People who a year ago thought they had a bad cold or the flu now worry they have coronavirus,” he said. “Everybody wants to get tested. The question we face is who really needs to be tested?”

The new testing center allows patients who’ve reported breathing difficulties, a temperature of 100.4 degrees, and a new cough to drive into the Urgent Care parking lot where they are met with a team of Sansum lab workers dressed in protective gowns, gloves, masks, and shield goggles. They will extract swab samples from the back of the throat and nasal passages. If all goes well, the results should be back within a day. Given the increasing demand, however, it could take two days. The private labs, by contrast, take anywhere from four to five days for the results to be delivered.

The tests themselves — whether public or private — require skilled lab technicians of which there are few available. Sansum’s center can handle around 10 tests a day. Each exchange takes about half an hour. Testing possible COVID patients outside will reduce the disruption and risk to other clinic patients and staff. A few Sansum workers, he noted, have been tested for possible infection, though none have come back positive yet. Some of the protective equipment can be used more than once, according to Ransohoff, who said it was a supply challenge getting the swabs and some of the protective gear, too.

The big question is whether the testing initiative works.

INDEPENDENT.COM

Sansum Clinic’s car-based testing

Does the geometry of health worker to car driver allow samples to be taken effectively? Can older patients with mobility challenges arrange their bodies such that swabs can be extracted? Will they show up with their kids in the back seat? Ransohoff wondered. One driver showed up with a passenger smoking a cigarette.

More comprehensive testing, the doctor said, is critical to get a better bead on the prevalence of the disease. But either way, he stressed, there’s still no treatment. For most patients who test positive, the instructions will be to go home and stay there until you’re better. That typically means at least 72 hours until the symptoms subside without the intervention of Tylenol.

Sansum and Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics are both offering the car-based testing. And Cottage Hospital is now testing in the inflatable building recently installed by its Emergency Room parking lot.

In all cases, patients must be screened by their healthcare provider first and be given an appointment. “This is an experiment,” Ransohoff stressed. “We don’t want it to get overwhelmed by people showing up saying, ‘I hear this is the place.’” At the time of the interview, Ransohoff said Sansum had tested six patients. By the time they have 100, he said, he’ll have a better idea of what works and what doesn’t. n

Here’s Where to Turn for Help

T

by Tyler Hayden

he financial pain inflicted by coronavirus cancellations and closures is affecting all levels of Santa Barbara commerce, from publicly traded entities like Sonos and Deckers to small locally owned businesses to individual workers and their families.

Hit especially hard are people who can’t work from home, including employees in the restaurant and hospitality sectors, as well as those who make a living by touching others, i.e. barbers, masseuses, and so on. Event planners and performers are similarly hurting, as are tutors, house cleaners, personal trainers — the list goes on.

Many aren’t sure where to turn for financial help during what has evolved into a full-blown crisis. Private, nonprofit, and government assistance programs are struggling just to keep up. But there are options out there, and if there’s any silver lining, it’s that a number of different groups are starting to partner in effective and inspiring ways.

One example is the new collaboration between the Santa Barbara Foundation and United Way of Santa Barbara County. While the Foundation is giving financial and organizational support to the region’s nonprofits, and by extension to the people to they serve, United Way is focusing on individuals, said Jordan Killebrew, the Foundation’s director of communications. “This way, we can catch all demographics,” he explained.

Both organizations are watching for potential relief funding from the state, and federal governments and are creating COVID-19 portals on their respective websites. “We want to make it as simple for the community as possible,” said Killebrew. The Foundation’s portal is at sbfoundation.org/covid-19-more-information, and United Way’s is at unitedwaysb.org/covid19. They also offer opportunities to give.

While Santa Barbara’s elected officials haven’t said much to the area’s workforce, the website for California’s Employment Development Department (edd.ca.gov/ about_edd/coronavirus-2019.htm) is chock-full of information. Employees can use it to file an Unemployment Insurance claim, currently the easiest and quickest way to get some relief if their hours have been reduced or if they’re completely out of a job. The good news is the department is waiving its normal one-week unpaid waiting period for claims, so people can start collecting benefits right away. The bad news is the state will only pay up to $450 per week.

Local Groups and State Office Offering at Least Some Relief

man who calmly delivered some coolheaded news to the Santa Barbara City Council, where several of its members were anything but cool. Fisk runs Cottage Health’s infection prevention and control, which makes him point person for the health system’s response to the COVID19 pandemic as it makes its way into Santa Barbara. Fisk was pressed by several councilmembers this Tuesday, March 17,

Cottage Doctor Says Santa Barbara Is Not in the Same Situation as San Francisco who asked whether Santa Barbara should be taking more aggressive, proactive steps to combat the virus. Does he think the city should follow the example of the City of San Francisco and Santa Clara County, Councilmember Meagan Harmon asked, where all bars and restaurants have been shut down, and residents have been ordered to shelter in place? His answer was a decisive: “No, I do not.”

“Our situation here is very, very different from the Bay Area,” he said. “What is proactive in one community may not apply in another community.” Since Santa Barbara has

At the federal level, Congress is mulling over the idea of giving every American a $1,000 check to tide them over until more government aid can arrive. There is bipartisan support for the idea, including from President Trump, who said he wants the checks to go out in the next two weeks.

For Santa Barbara employers, the resource guide published by the U.S. Small Business Administration will prove helpful. It offers immediate steps to protect companies from further harm, explains options for business disruption loans, and talks about work-sharing programs, among other critical information. See tinyurl.com/ USMBA-Guide.

Lastly, Downtown Santa Barbara has suggested ways to support local businesses without necessarily patronizing them in person —buy gift cards, leave online reviews, tip more than usual, order takeout, and donate. See tinyurl. n com/sbd-tips.

had no deaths from the coronavirus, with no patients even hospitalized yet, Fisk outlined a new protocol the medical community had crafted to more clearly outline which patients would be tested for COVID-19, under what conditions, and with which test. This should help doctors decide when to prescribe the test. Some had been hesitating to do so because there were so few testing kits.

Fisk outlined steps being taken to increase production of the test kits. He added that Cottage has solidified its supply chain over protective gear needed by medical professionals who were taking samples for the test. It just secured 3,000 new face shields in the last 24 hours, he said. Inventory of gowns, gloves, battery-powered respirators, and masks have been solidified.

After Fisk’s presentation, councilmembers voted to ban bars and restaurants—except for to-go and takeout orders.

They also got an earful from an economic consultant who outlined how Santa Barbara’s hospitality industry—which accounts for 17 percent of the city’s jobs—is about to take a massive hit. He also described how small businesses could find relief, in the form of unemployment insurance or Small Business Administration loans. The council also declared a local emergency, thus empowering City Administrator Paul Casey with exceptional authority to enlist the city police and fire departments in enforcing new rules promulgated by the Santa Barbara County Health Officer.

Only Councilmember Eric Friedman expressed any discomfort over the concentrated expansion of governmental

authority. Although Friedman ultimately voted with the council majority, he cautioned against getting out too far ahead of the state and the county in terms of rules and regulations. He worried about the implications when it came to civil liberties, and he worried that different rules in different jurisdictions might prove to be confusing. If Santa Barbara could ban bars and restaurants to discourage sizable groups of people from gathering, why not ban church services, too? he asked. Most of the people attending services, he noted, were older and more susceptible to the virus.

Much of the discussion, however, was focused on new emergency ordinances that the council hatched this week but will vote on next week having to do with tenant protections.

The council voted unanimously for a series of measures designed to ban landlords from evicting tenants who can’t pay their rent because of the pandemic until the end of May. Tenants, the council tentatively decided, should be given six months to pay their landlords back for lost rent. The council also voted to extend similar protections to businesses who get behind on their rent to commercial landlords. Mayor Cathy Murillo said she would write a letter to the big commercial landlords asking them to offer their tenants a reprieve on their rents for at least a month. In the meantime, City Administrator Casey announced City Hall is offering all workers two weeks worth of paid sick leave. Boards and commissions will temporarily cease to meet until new virtual ways to convene can be devised. n

City College’s campuses, Catholic Charities, several transition houses in town, and the Salvation Army are some of the major agencies, and that UCSB’s order on Monday in terms of quantity was “very significant,” likely because many students out of school are bearing the brunt of food insecurity now that many food service and retail operations are being shut down — common collegestudent jobs.

For Santa Barbara’s Foodbank, the most vulnerable populations during the pandemic in terms of food insecurity are children, seniors, and low-income residents.

The Foodbank already has a brown-bag delivery program that delivers groceries to seniors’ homes and 17 sites for pickup countywide. Now, they will expand the senior delivery program to include any seniors who are quarantined or sheltering in place and persons over 70 years old.

“On Wednesday we will begin our senior delivery program expansion,” Skvarla said.

“Over the next coming weeks, we will need more volunteers and community members to join us.”

Mia Webber, who works for UCSB’s athletics department, decided to sign up as a volunteer while she’s out of work. Tuesday was her first day, so she didn’t have anything to compare the job to in terms of new COVID-19 protocols, but so far she felt she was making a difference.

“I came here to start packing food because I felt like there were more people in need,” Webber said. “Plus, it’s actually really fun.”

“In times like this, the most vulnerable in our community are even more so, so it’s important nonprofits can function to support community members,” Skvarla said.

“Those who can help who are able-bodied or can give donations are much appreciated.

The need doesn’t go away because everything closed.”

Restaurants, Wineries React Survival at Stake, How to Help

by Matt Kettmann hile all businesses are being

W

affected by the COVID-19 shutdowns, restaurants, bars, and wine-tasting rooms are taking it in the teeth, as the very thing that people are being advised not to do—hang out with others in close quarters—is the core of the hospitality industry.

On Tuesday, falling in line with guidance directed by the state and county, the City of Santa Barbara ordered all restaurants, bars, breweries, and wine-tasting rooms to temporarily close, except for take-out and delivery.

“The hospitality and transportation industries are the lockdown-impact ground zero,” said Mitchell Sjerven, owner of bouchon. “Socializing and social distancing are mutually exclusive. If the dearth of guests lasts beyond April, many operators will be forced to close.”

Closures were already announced on Monday afternoon for both Acme Hospitality, which owns The Lark, Loquita, Paradise Café, and five other establishments, and the Santa Barbara Public Market, which is home to 10 restaurants. “I had the horrible job of laying off 350 people,” said Acme owner Sherry Villanueva through tears at the City Council hearing on Tuesday. “Many have two full-time jobs to live in this county.”

She said that Acme will cover employees’ health-care premiums until April, but it won’t be able to afford to do so after that point. “We’re grateful that there are unemployment benefits,” said Villanueva. “It’s just not enough.”

Bruce Stenslie of the nonprofit Economic Development Collaborative, which serves Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, told the council that 17 percent of Santa Barbara city jobs are in hospitality, compared to 10 percent statewide. That accounts for about 7,000 jobs, 5,000 of which are estimated to be in the restaurant and bar business.

Many restaurants are emphasizing takeout options, which are starting to include curbside pickup for those who do not want to exit their vehicles while other are offering delivery services.

Farmers Markets Stay Open The Santa Barbara Certified Farmers’ Market will continue to operate at its various locations six days a week, including the large State Street Tuesday market and the Saturday market on Cota Street.

“This is really an essential community resource,” said the market’s executive director Sam Edelman. “Even in San Francisco, where the majority of food/beverage businesses have been forced to close, their farmers’ markets remain open.”

Aside from the addition of handwashing stations throughout the markets, the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department issued specific directives: no food sampling; no coming to work if sick; wearing gloves when possible; having one person deal with transactions, and others to deal with produce; not eating in booths; and making sure customers only touch what they intend to purchase.

Wineries Wrangle with Rules The Public Health Department issued a blunt message to all bars, nightclubs, breweries, wine-tasting rooms, and other public-serving alcohol establishments: They should close to combat the spread of COVID-19. Many will close entirely; others will stay open for retail pickups only.

David Potter, of Municipal Winemakers and Potek Winery, closed his tasting room and laid off part-time employees on Monday. “We’re scared — business has stopped,” he told City Council on Tuesday. “One month is feasible, as we learned from the Thomas Fire, but three months without revenue is probably impossible … . We’re stuck and our bills haven’t stopped, but our revenue has.”

Magan Kunin also spoke on Tuesday, explaining that her business interruption insurance only kicks in when closures are mandatory. “If there was a mandate [to close] as compared to a directive, I know my business would survive. But we don’t know how long this piece of string is.”

HOW TO HELP Buy Gift Cards: If your favorite restaurants sell gift cards, now’s the time to buy.

Call to Release Low-Level Offenders

NE

er’s Office called for the immediate release of all low-level offender inmates who are the most susceptible to contracting the COVID-19 virus. “We are dealing with a public health crisis,” said Public Defender Tracy Macuga. She stated that releasing vulnerable detainees who are low-level offenders allowed preventative measures such as social distancing, frequent handwashing, and cleaning of surfaces in the jail.

The call is for inmates over the age of 60 or with underlying medical issues that make them vulnerable to the virus to be released from the jail immediately. Low-level offenders may include felons, too. They have a list of 40 inmates so far that would meet the criteria.

The Sheriff ’s Office declined to comment. Shortly after, the Sheriff ’s Office announced an employee, a San Luis Obispo resident who works in one of the jail control rooms, tested positive for COVID-19.

Twelve others in the Sheriff ’s Office are now self-isolating in their homes.

Senior Deputy Public Defender Mark Saatjian said releasing the vulnerable inmates is especially important for hygiene concerns. Inmates without money rely on a weekly “Indigent Kit,” or “fish kit,” that contains a pencil, a razor, a toothbrush, toothpaste, a comb, and a small bar of soap. “I’ve been told that the soap in the kit is roughly the size of a business card folded in half,” Saatjian said.

Sheriff’s staff have increased the frequency of cleanup details throughout County Jail.

Macuga also asked the court and the District Attorney’s Office to “offer more opportunities for house arrest, stipulate to own recognizance releases, and commute the sentences of those individuals who have 90 days or less left to serve on their sentences.”

The court has announced it is only holding custody arraignment cases and will cease non-arraignment matters such as trials, motions, and sentencings.

“The Public Defenders’ job is to rigorously represent their clients,” District Attorney Joyce Dudley said in response to the Public Defender’s call. “My job, as the chief law enforcement official, is to rigorously ensure justice for all and public safety.”

RED ZONE

Learning from Italy’s Mistakes

by Tyler Hayden

iagio Manzotti was the Santa

Barbara Independent’s calendar assistant from 2017 to 2018. He’s now back in his home country of Italy, specifically the city of Milan, the epicenter of the nation’s coronavirus outbreak. We spoke by Skype about what it means to live in a highly restrictive Red Zone and how what’s happening in Italy may foreshadow near-future life in the United States.

One of Italy’s first confirmed coronavirus patients was a 38-year-old business manager living in the southern part of Milan, Manzotti explained. “He went to the hospital, and that’s when the spread really happened.”

Now, Italy’s health-care system is critically overburdened, with 27,980 cases and 2,503 deaths reported on Tuesday. Doctors are rationing beds and ventilators, obituaries fill local newspapers, and survivors mourn alone because of a ban on group gatherings. “They’re just letting people die because there’s no room in the hospitals,” Manzotti said. “All of this started happening less than a month ago.”

The Milanese are now living under what is essentially house arrest, he went on, in what authorities are calling a Red Zone.

No one is allowed to venture outside their home without a permit. All stores are closed, except for supermarkets, banks, pharmacies, and tobacco shops. Schools, theaters, gyms, and restaurants shut down weeks ago. “It’s really eerie,” Manzotti said. As a marketing manager, Manzotti received permission to work in his company’s downtown office, but his bosses ordered that only a single employee occupy each floor.

The impact on Italy’s economy will be “a nightmare,” Manzotti predicted. Even before the pandemic, the country was on shaky financial footing, and now, with an inevitable hit to its key tourism market,

things will get even worse. “It’s going to be really, really bad,” he emphasized. “But at this point, we’re still just trying to contain the virus and keep peace.” He pointed to recent jail riots as just one emergency taking priority.

In terms of containing and preventing further coronavirus spread, Italy should be viewed as a “beta test” for other western countries, Manzotti said. The United States ought to learn from its mistakes, like not reacting quickly or determinedly enough, but should also take heed of the things it’s doing well, such as widespread testing, he

Above all, Manzotti urged, Americans would be wise to consider the well-being of their neighbors, not just of themselves.

“If you’re younger, don’t be dumb,” he said.

Don’t go out to bars, consider skipping the gym, and wash your hands every chance you get. “Think about other people,” he said, “especially older people.” That also means not hoarding food and supplies.

Italy’s goal at the moment is to stop the virus from spreading to the rural parts of the country in the south, where there are fewer hospitals and supplies. Meanwhile, the casualties keep increasing. Manzotti has a friend who recently lost a family member and a coworker. “All of this really means changing your mindset,” Manzotti explained. “I can’t just think about myself. I have to think about the entire country.” n INDEPENDENT.COM

The Santa Barbara County Northern Branch Jail is shown in a recent photo during a presentation at Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting.

Supes Okay More Funding for North County Jail $5 Million Authorized to Complete Construction

by Delaney Smith he Northern Branch Jail project — now seven years in the making — was authorized for an additional $5 million in funding Tuesday.

The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the cash transfer from the operat-

T

ing funds account in light of various issues such as project delays, unanticipated change orders, and Rosser International (the original design project manager for the project) going out of business and pulling out in 2019—over which the county has since filed litigation.

“Obviously, it’s less than ideal when a project goes over budget, but given the context and size, scale, and complexity, particularly in light of the complexities and uncertainties of having the architects leave the project, I think it’s actually pretty remarkable that the cost has not gone up more,” Supervisor Gregg Hart said.

The operating fund, which has a projected year-end balance of $16 million, can take the $5 million hit, according to the county’s legal counsel Mike Ghizzoni.

“The Board of Supervisors directed litigation against Rosser, and that is the tool in which to bring in Rosser’s errors and omissions policies that exceed $5 million,” Ghizzoni said. “I would say in a case like this, where we have both design errors and a walk away, I’m confident we will be seeing, if not all, then a large chunk of the money we are talking about today come back to us through litigation.”

In other words, the money is being moved from the operating fund account to fund remaining construction costs, and then the money will be backfilled into the operating fund account once the county is awarded money from its lawsuit with Rosser.

The approved project budget is currently $110,857,243. The County has spent approximately $108 million to date and received 95 percent of the $80 million in AB900 funds from the state that the County approved in 2013. The project itself is considered to be “98 percent complete” and should hold n inmates by this fall.

NEWS BRIEFS COUNTY Alternating rain and sunshine filled the South Coast this past week, and water levels rose in response at all Santa Barbara County reservoirs. Six to seven inches fell in the foothills and mountains, and two to three inches along the coast. The five days of rainy weather put Lake Cachuma, the city’s main water source, in positive territory, gaining 1,873 acre-feet — or 610 million gallons — for March.

Upstream, Gibraltar gained 2,193 acre-feet. Jameson gained a good two feet, rising from 79 to 85 percent of capacity, and Twitchell Reservoir gained 148 acre-feet in March, releasing nearly 17,000 acrefeet since September to replenish Santa Maria’s groundwater basin.

The machinery used to keep the greenery greener has come under scrutiny, and the county’s Air Pollution Control District has secured $100,000 in grant funding for electric-powered landscaping equipment. Intended for schools, public agencies, and businesses, the Landscape Equipment Electrification Fund (LEEF) gives vouchers for batteries and chargers to keep mowers and whackers running.

One hour of diesel or gas equipment produces the air pollution equivalent of driving from Los Angeles to Denver, the APCD found. Visit ourair.org /LEEFprogram for more.

CITY Eight adults have gone missing due to memory challenges in the past three years, a serious concern for their families and caregivers. To speed up reuniting them, the Santa Barbara Police Department set up the Adult At-Risk ID Card initiative. To take part in the program, at-risk adults, their families, or their caregivers who live in the City of Santa Barbara can register ID info and photos with SBPD’s private database, info that can be released when a missingperson search is filed. Members of the Volunteersin-Policing Program plan to reach out to caregiver groups across the city to gather registrations.

CANNABIS

Laurel Perez (left), who is representing Busy Bee Organics’ co-owner Sara Rotman (below) and her husband, and Courtney Taylor, representing the Santa Barbara County Coalition for Responsible Cannabis, speak at the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday morning.

Cannabis Gets a Big Win in Wine Country

EASING RESTRICTIONS

The board held its hearing in two separate meeting rooms in Santa Maria and Santa Barbara, communicating by video to reduce potential exposure to the coronavirus.

Supervisor Peter Adam of Orcutt was absent. In a first for the county, the board allowed members of the public to phone in their comments.

One caller said Busy Bee was a “model family farm.” Jack Motter, a fellow cannabis applicant, said Rotman was “the exact kind of person we need to help us establish this industry.” Jon Ohlgren, who works in conventional and organic agriculture, including vineyards, called in to say that Busy Bee was “one of the cleanest operations out there.”

“They have the direct support of their immediate neighbors,” Ohlgren said. “It’s time for us to make decisions based on facts, not fear.”

South Coast Supervisor Das Williams, who represents the Carpinteria Valley where residents are up in arms about the skunk-like smell of cannabis from greenhouse operations, said Busy Bee was “one of the most innocuous” projects “on the landscape.” He described visiting the property, fully expecting “not to be impressed.” Rotman and Diaz have planted rows of trees along the highway to screen their land from public view.

“You could even say I was leaning against the project,” Williams said. “Then I passed it by without even noticing there was a marijuana operation there. That’s what we want.”

Chytilo presented a radically different picture of Busy Bee, showing the board aerial photographs that he said were confirmation of an illegal expansion on the property, from one greenhouse in 2015 to six greenhouses and 16 hoop houses in 2018. County officials said they opened a zoning violation case, but dropped it after the owners applied for a land-use permit in late 2018. A county staff report for the project states that the planning commission approved it in 2019, “thereby authorizing the existing cannabis operation.”

Coalition members told the board they viewed the permit as “a reward for non-compliance.”

“Do you take us for fools?” asked Blair Pence, a coalition founder and the owner of Pence Ranch & Winery near Buellton.

by Melinda Burns s cannabis compatible with wine grapes?

Yes, the county Board of Supervisors said this week, voting 4-0 to uphold a land-use permit for Busy Bee’s Organics, allowing cannabis cultivation on 22 acres along Highway 246, west of Buellton. The scenic highway is the gateway to the Santa Rita Hills and Santa Ynez Valley wine country.

It was the first appeal of a cannabis land-use permit to come before the board in the region, and it was a big win for Busy Bee. Sara Rotman, the property co-owner with her husband, Nate Diaz, asked for and won a four-acre increase beyond the 18 acres approved for cultivation by the County Planning Commission last November.

One greenhouse will be allowed on the 62-acre property; the rest of the 22 acres in cultivation will be outdoors, including a maximum of five acres under plastic tarps in “hoop houses.” Two new 3,000-square-foot buildings will be allowed for processing.

“We’re just grateful to get back to the work of farming,” said Sara Rotman by phone after Tuesday’s hearing. “There’s been an extraordinary amount of scrutiny and review. It makes projects like mine better, and I’m grateful that the supervisors agreed.”

But Marc Chytilo, an attorney for the Santa Barbara Coalition for Responsible Cannabis citizens’ group, called the vote “an extreme disservice to the commission and the community.” The coalition had asked the board to deny a permit for Busy Bee, or, alternatively, place a three-year limit on it.

Chytilo said the increase from 18 to 22 acres would result in an “excessive amount of cultivation on this parcel.” Busy Bee, he said, was proposing a major industrial operation that deserved more scrutiny.

“We don’t oppose cannabis,” Chytilo said. “Categorically, we want to see the county get this right. The process has not worked in this case.”

Residents and vintners told the board that the “stench” from Busy Bee and other cannabis operations was ruining their quality of life and disrupting 20 or more wine-tasting rooms. Land-use permits for more than 970 acres of cannabis are pending in the region.

“Our lives have been abruptly battered with the unfettered pot growing,” said Dianne Pence, a coalition member. “These new pot owners have no vested interest in our community.”

County Board of Supervisors Upholds Permit for Busy Bee’s Organics Outdoor ‘Grow’ Near Buellton

In addition to increasing the acreage in cannabis for Busy Bee, the board lifted other permit restrictions imposed by the commission, including a requirement for additional review by the county planning director after two years. At the same time, the board upheld a requirement for unplanted 100foot buffers on the eastern and western sides of the property to reduce pesticide conflicts with vineyard and broccoli operations.

Busy Bee will be required to install wind screens and fans and, ultimately, an odor-control system on their property boundary, if the county determines that odors from the marijuana harvesting and drying operations are creating a “substantially continuous public nuisance.” But the board removed permit restrictions imposed by the commission that would have required Busy Bee to dry cannabis offsite, immediately flash-freeze or box fresh plants, and ship all plant material offsite within two hours of harvest to keep odors under control.

Chytilo lambasted the board for what he called “cut-andpaste” and “decide-on-the-fly” changes.

“It substantially undercuts the authority of the Planning Commission and increases the odor footprint,” he said.

In explaining his support for Busy Bee, Board Chair Gregg Hart, who represents Goleta, said, “I do believe that cannabis farming and the wine industry can coexist.” Supervisor Steve Lavagnino, representing Santa Maria, said that some large outdoor cannabis “grows” in the county were operating next to vineyards with zero complaints. And both Lavagnino and Hart noted that the City of Buellton had submitted a letter of support for Busy Bee. “We live in an agricultural community,” Lavagnino said. “Agriculture means different things to different people. We allow our growers the tools to do the job they need to do.”

Yet the county’s own Agricultural Advisory Committee had urged the board to delay voting on the Busy Bee permit appeals until the commission and the board could draw up amendments to the county’s Cannabis Zoning Ordinance of 2018. And according to the Grower-Shipper Association of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, most of its members operating near hemp or cannabis operations have experienced “significant and acrimonious conflict.”

In an interview, Supervisor Joan Hartmann, who represents the Santa Ynez Valley, did not comment on the Busy Bee permit except to say that it “raised a lot of issues we need to address going forward.

“It’s clear we need greater ability to condition these projects so that they are compatible with the surrounding area,” n Hartmann said.

Dogs in the Coming Plague Years

TICK TOCK: It’s come to this: toilet paper, guns, and cannabis, the building blocks

of the apocalypse. Who knew? I must have missed the memo. But even if I got it, I still wouldn’t get it.

I showed up at Smart & Final Sunday morning, 15 minutes before it opened at 8 a.m. I figured I was nice and early. Not remotely. There was already a huge line.

One overachieving early bird arrived at 6 a.m. sharp, and those waiting — armed with Smart & Final’s Kremlin-grade shopping carts — wound from the store’s front entrance all the way to Santa Barbara Street, where they curled up toward Haley.

It was longer even than the usual line of urban backpackers, bike campers, and other residentially challenged people who typically claim this area as their portable living room. As usual, I was impressed by the congeniality with which most Santa Barbarans — myself excluded — vent their panic. There was no pushing and shoving when the doors opened; it was all “After you, Alphonse.”

Once inside, however, all bets were off.

Imagine a demolition derby of carts packed to the sky with toilet paper. And that was with the store’s strict two-per-customer limit. Smart & Final sells product on an industrial scale; toilet paper there comes in packs of 48. A guy I know grinned sheepishly about the 96 rolls of fluffy whiteness he

was navigating to the checkout line. In the military, that would be enough to last one person eight years. “I don’t even know why I do this,” he exclaimed. Later, he answered his own riddle: “I’m going to give some to neighbors.”

Everyone has their theories about toilet paper hoarding. One — as usual — starts in China, as did the virus now known as COVID-19. Because respirator masks are allegedly made with the same pulpy paper product used to manufacture toilet tissues, the Chinese freaked about a possible toilet paper shortage. That freak-out, the theory goes, crossed borders and then continents. I prefer the explanation given by a local physician who remembers the bad old days when HIV and AIDS were still so deadly and misunderstood that hospital food-care workers refused to bring food trays into the rooms of the afflicted for fear they might somehow inhale the disease by osmosis.

As for the run on TP, he said, “When one person sneezes these days, 50 people crap their pants.”

Also topping the list of panic purchasing are guns and ammo. I’m not sure what difference all those hollow-point bullets are going to make when up against a virus that laughs in the face of all antibiotics. I understand no one wants to go gently into anyone else’s long, good night, so better go — I suppose — locked and loaded.

And that brings me to the stampede in

cannabis sales triggered by the virus. Home

delivery drivers are working 36 hours a day, I am told, and price gouging is rampant.

Having spent $15 to buy just one joint — excessively wrapped, boxed, and packaged, I might add — I had surmised price gouging was the foundation upon which the new cannabis industry rests. Even so, the chance of spontaneous combustion seems significantly lower if the gun toters are hunkering in their bunkers, loaded up on cannabis rather than liquor.

In the meantime, I would respectfully ask all you pot heads to please shut the hell up about your theories that your stoner products are going to help ward off COVID-19.

During the bubonic plague, people also thought sniffing flowers kept them safe.

In case you missed it, the Santa Barbara City Council just voted to give City Administrator Paul Casey unprecedented dictatorial powers to declare martial law and dispatch city police officers to chase senior citizens off city lawn-bowling courts; it’s true that most lawn bowlers are elderly. It’s also true that older people tend to die more when infected with the virus. But they’ll also be coming for the millennial hipsters on the bocce-ball courts. Unlike the elderly, millennial hipsters aren’t susceptible to pretty much anything, which is exactly why they need to be hauled off. It’s not fair.

Extreme times, I understand, call for extreme measures. No one has seen any-

thing remotely like this. As we stumble down the road, I would suggest some serious attention needs to be paid to supermarkets and grocery stores. Workers in

this industry — about the only sector in which social gathering is still allowed — are exposed to a Pandora’s box of germs on an hourly basis. They are the front line. So too are the people who shop there. The situation is what the public health experts call a “vector.” It’s also a vital function that can’t be shut down.

A lot more creative fretting needs to be spent on more protective safety precautions.

Trader Joe’s has taken to “metering” the number of customers allowed inside at any given time. This minimizes social contact and allows every other register to lie fallow, which in turn helps maintain greater social distances. Every cash register has hand sanitizers. Gelson’s has set up early-bird hours for elderly shoppers. All this is good. But more needs to be done. Maybe we need to start phoning in shopping lists and picking up our grub at the curb, where we could pay mobile clerks.

It’s scary. It’s sad. It’s unprecedented.

None of us have been here before, unless you happened to be alive in 1918 when the Spanish flu took 50 million people on a one-way ride to Nowheresville. The experts say don’t panic. I’m not remotely an expert, and I say don’t panic, too. Guns, toilet paper, and cannabis, indeed. Be kind.

Businesses Cry ‘Help!’

I

want to make a strong appeal for the needs of the many small businesses, both owners and staff, during COVID-19. We will need immediate assistance as the distance between us rightly grows. I’ve asked for city action to slow the spread and ease the economic impact in Santa Barbara.

(1) Ask the majority of nonessential businesses to close doors to regular foot traffic but be sure to: (a) Extend sick and safe time for employees and owners for the entire period. (b) Waive or reduce utility payments dependent on need. (c) Make cash-flow assistance easily and readily available based on predicted revenue. Small businesses already see a reduction in sales this past week.

(2) Coordinate funding to offset courier service costs to get product to customers, especially food and groceries.

(3) Use city platforms loudly and often to encourage residents to keep their spending in city limits.

(4) Set up a donation fund for cash support re: all of these issues. Publicly lean on big business city partners to donate. The transition to working remotely for big business is making a hugely negative impact in cities like Seattle and Boston. Ask those companies to dig deep. People are searching for ways to help right now.

(5) Pressure landlords to help shoulder this burden.

(6) Coordinate a marketing blitz that invites the public to understand the profoundly important positive impacts of shopping locally.

We are all in this together.

Coronavirus Thoughts

I

have been a lover of all the arts my entire life.

Today, I received yet another letter from one of the wonderful venues we have here in Santa Barbara, where we have all received the gift of the magic that only live performance can bring us. It lifts us. It makes our hearts smile. It reminds us of our humanity.

Consider donating whatever your ticket price due to canceled performances back to that theatre to help them stay alive so that once this horrific state of the global community is over, the arts will always be alive and well.

Because it truly is the arts that do keep us alive and well. Please stay safe, all. —Katie Thatcher, S.B.

Cold Comfort

T

he following is not to discourage anyone from taking all reasonable precautions to avoid coronavirus (COVID-19) but to add essential perspective.

The 1918 Spanish flu claimed 50 million lives; the 1968 Hong Kong flu took 1 million lives; the 1973 London flu killed 1,000 in the U.S.; and the 201718 “regular” flu cost 80,000 lives in the U.S. As of March 16, 2020, the coronavirus has taken 6,664 worldwide.

The media, the government, and the people have become obsessed with what formerly would have been accepted as an average virus outbreak.

The closures, the social distancing, the stockpiling, the threats, and the incessant rhetoric all add to an atmosphere of panic and doom. However, there is absolutely nothing in the math to suggest this is any worse than many previous disease outbreaks.

Currently 3,602 people are infected with COVID19 in the U.S. That is 0.0011 percent of the 327 million population. If one percent dies, that means that thus far, the odds of dying from coronavirus is 0.000011 percent.

Sixty-five people have died in the U.S. from COVID-19. This will rise until the virus retreats, as they always do. But each year in the U.S., approximately 647,000 people die of heart disease, 609,000 die from cancer, and 40,000 die in car crashes.

In my opinion, the negative health and economic impacts of these extreme overreactions will likely be far worse than anything COVID-19 could inflict.

THE INDEPENDENT

Richard Seeley, born in Glendale California, was an outstanding electrical engineer and inventor, a competent problem solver who could fix his car, do his own plumbing, electrical and carpentry work. Since he was a few years old he loved wires, taking things apart, and concocting new creations. He was a faithful employee of Raytheon for 42 years, a pilot, a lover of ham radio, and (old) nice cars. He received his Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Electrical Engineering from UCSB, went to John Muir High School, and attended elementary and junior high school in the La Cañada school system.

He was unimpressed with position, status, or himself, fiercely defended the underdog, and never tolerated meanness. He generously donated his time to help friends and family with house upgrades and even helped a friend build his airplane. He was embarrassed by praise of himself or anybody else and did everything with humility and no expectations in return.

He was dearly loved and survived by his family: wife Marianell Seeley Schaaf, son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren: Robert, Yuli, Brayden, Ryder and Austin Seeley, his daughter, sonin-law and grandchildren: Juliette, Joseph, Adam and Natalie Costa, his sister: Janis Seeley Derrick, and his mother-in-law: Mary Schaaf (Goggie).

His quirky sense of humor was unlike any other. His self-composed obituary was dictated with a smile and a gleam in his eye: “Dick Seeley …ran out of time.” He may have run out of time, but he never ran out of hope while battling prostate cancer. He enjoyed the small pleasures that life brought him to the very end: a doting wife who cared for him 24 hours a day, giggling grandchildren piled on his bed, Dr. Pepper, gyros,

He used to say, “We’re born.

We live. We die. And our chance at life is over. If we don’t enjoy our lives and help others do so while we’re here, why be born at all?” He demonstrated that the way to live life to the fullest is to make everything an adventure, a mystery trip, where you never know where you’re going; you just know you’re on your way.

He taught others to live each day fully and with awe. He was this huge force in the life of everyone he met that says “Woohoo! Life! Yeah! Let’s make this REALLY count!”

His motto: ”When In doubt, try it out and see what you learn. If it doesn’t violate your values or hurt others, then do it. Trust your intuition and look for what draws you along your way. And follow that. That’s what leads to great memories.” It’s what he most loved to do and to share and help others do, too.

He had over 100 adventures in his life including going to a presidential inaugural ball & an ‘in-hog-ural ball’ (inaugurating a pig the night before in ankle-deep mud), finding his name on the Nixon White House enemies list in Congress’ impeachment notes, being shot at by would-be kidnappers in Argentina, and writing an ad that drew his greatest business success and another that attracted the love of his life to him.

As his friend, Brad Weeks, shared “Lee taught me to never settle for my failures, but more importantly, to celebrate my victories. We celebrated by freight train hopping, by hitching rides on

private jets, and many other gallivanting, meandering, following-our-fancy magical times together, but the greatest adventures we shared were our heart-filling conversations. Lee was a uniquely selfmade brilliant and inspiring man. He was one of the wisest and most compassionate spirits I have ever been blessed with knowing.”

Born in the steel town of Gary, Indiana where he worked alongside his father as a laborer in the steel mills, he spent ten years as a brand manager at Procter & Gamble and then as Director of New Enterprises at Gillette before retiring from business at 35 and getting a masters and doctorate in psychology.

He had gathered over 100 learnings from studying life’s successes in a consulting project he did for Harvard, which he passed on to his clients, readers, friends, and family in his 40 years as a SAGE (Self Actualization Growth Education) counselor. In the words of Bob Forbes, “Lee was a friend and mentor to my son, Miguel, and me for many years. He was thoughtful in his teachings and demanding in the work each of us performed. Through his own example of finding a better way by questioning and weighing alternative answers, we both grew as people in what we did, how we did it, and, ultimately, how we arrived at clarity of purpose. Always being aware of the people we love was critical to his coaching. In the last decade, Lee and I had a monthly phone talk that was a measure of what was happening in my life, and his wisdom was available for all issues, sharp and well thought out.

Those conversations are now over, but only in the literal sense. His voice is forever a part of me, and I am grateful beyond words.”

For 40 years, he lived in a house he designed and built on 20 acres on a 200+ year old dirt road in a pine forest in New Hampshire with his three daughters, and counseled clients and wrote books (Dear Kids, New Directions for Men, and Magic Nuggets) along with his syndicated newspaper “Counselor’s Column”.

After living bi-coastally and with a terminal illness in recent years, he died peacefully with dignity of his

own choice at his home on a mountaintop over the Pacific with the support of Santa Barbara hospices, and after a last dance with his wife Barbara, at his side.

He and Barbara went out dancing almost every week of their nearly 30 years of marriage & have taken each other on scores of mystery dates and trips where the other had no idea where they were going until they got there; like the time she took him for a gondola picnic ride on the Charles River in Boston and then dancing on the roof top at the Ritz.

He organized Sunset conversations where they invited a dozen friends to watch the sun go down over the ocean and talk about various topics including how to keep love alive and romance thriving through the years. He’s also criss-crossed on road trips all across the country from New England to California and back, never knowing where they were going each day or to sleep at night until they got there.

In addition to his loving wife Barbara, he leaves behind his daughters Lisabeth, Jessica and Tracy (Sferes), his blended family of “daughter” Christy Crivellaro, and “sons” Tod Alberto (wife Cathy), Scott, and Eric Crivellaro, along with ten grandchildren and two greatgrandchildren.

A Santa Barbara, CA Celebration of Life will be during the summer at a date and place to be determined. An East Coast Celebration of Life will be held in New England in early May at a place and time to be determined. Please contact his wife, Barbara for details.

To honor Lee, please consider donations to the VNA Health Hospice and Santa Barbara Hospice. A special thanks to Nurse Laura, Drs. Marston, Bordofsky, and J. Kupperman for all their wisdom, kindness and support.

Lunt, Harold William (“Bill”) 2/24/1935 – 2/5/2020

Born and raised in Santa Barbara, California, Bill graduated from Santa Barbara High School in 1952. He met his future wife, Janet, while attending UCSB for his BA in biology. He graduated in 1956, and they were married that same year. After serving in the U.S. Army as a biochemist at the U.S. Army Medical Research and Nutrition Lab at Fitzsimmons Army Hospital in Denver, CO, Bill attended the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, completing his PhD in zoology in 1966.

Bill was by nature a teacher.

He loved to share his knowledge about, and love for, nature and the outdoors. He taught biology at Chicago State University before returning to Santa Barbara in 1973. Many will remember him as “Merlin” at the Outdoor School at Rancho Alegre where he was on the staff from 1989 to 1994.

His lifetime of involvement with the Boy Scouts began as a Cub Scout and membership in Troop 3. He was a Vigil Member of the Chumash Lodge of the Order of the Arrow. After he returned to Santa Barbara in 1973, he became an Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop 3 and, later, the Scoutmaster. Bill was also on the summer camp staff at Rancho Alegre for 17 years as the Nature Director. His many years of service to the Boy Scouts were recognized by his being given their Silver Beaver Award. He was serving on the Rancho Alegre Camp Facilities Committee at the time of his death.

Service to youth and to the community formed a large part of Bill’s active involvement in the Santa Barbara Northside Optimist Club. He served as Club President and was elected twice as the Lt. Governor for the local zone of the Pacific Southwest District of Optimist International. Bill was the District’s Scouting Committee Chairman for 15 years and the Club’s liaison to the Optimist Youth Home in

Highland Park.

Bill enjoyed cooking outdoors in Dutch ovens and sharing his skills with the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.

As a member of the International Dutch Oven Society, he served as a Regional Director for two years. He liked to go to local and regional gatherings of Dutch Oven Society cooks to share recipes and knowledge as well to other events to demonstrate and promote this historic method of cooking.

His friends shared his involvement in community concerns as a member of Cars Are Basic, E Clampus Vitus, FNRA, and the Conservative Republican Assembly.

Bill is survived by his wife, Janet, daughters Sharon and Carol, and grandchildren Logan and Liana Tutt.

Family and friends gathered for a celebration of Bill’s life on Feb. 29, 2020.

He is survived by his wife Lee, his children Frank David Barranco, MD (Jessica), Donna Barranco Fisher and Karen Lee Barranco, his grandchildren Nicholas, Allison and James, his great granddaughter Kaia Rose, his two sisters, Jody Loeffler and Esther Daniels, his brother-in-law Stephen Fischer (Barbara), and many loving nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be sent to Storyteller Children’s Center, 2115 State Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93105, a non-profit serving at-risk children in Santa Barbara.

In consideration of friends and family and the corona virus restrictions, the Celebration of Life in honor of Frank will take place at a later date.

lives are spent seeking the next thrill, vacation, concert, or show. In these times of social distancing, use and appreciate the time to read, write, get home tasks done, watch movies, play board games with the family, and connect. Remember the people far away who could use some interaction. FaceTime Grandma, call your aunt, and Skype your old college buddy. Make sure they are doing well, and if they’re not, lend an ear and your warmth.

7.

Take care of yourself: Eat nutritiously, with plenty of veggies and some fruit, and get enough sleep. If you have trouble sleeping, don’t try too hard. Obsessing about how vital it is to get to sleep won’t get you back to sleep.

Think of it as a perfect time to meditate. (For free help, go to the last exercise at stressremedy.com/audio.) Or read a boring book until you are drowsy. Going over thoughts again and again? Try writing them down. Then try meditating again.

Focus on the sensation of one breath at a time or repeat a word like “one.” When your mind wanders, return patiently, again and again, to the sensation of the breath or the word.

Then you might focus on relaxing one body part at a time, starting with your feet and working your way to your head.

COVID-19 Stress

Santa Barbara Doctor Offers Tips for Coping with Pandemic Panic

by Dr. Jay Winner

I

f you’re not stressed by the COVID-19 pandemic, you’re probably not paying attention.

How can we all deal with this stress without going nuts?

1.

To begin, take a breath: Put your hand on your abdomen and as you inhale, feel your abdomen expand.

Pay attention to one full inhalation and one full exhalation.

A “mindful diaphragmatic breath” relaxes us in two ways: Diaphragmatic or belly breathing stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system.

Fully focusing on the sensation of one breath without judgment gives us that little mindful moment that can also reduce stress. So do it many times a day.

2.

Follow wise advice and do the right stuff. Listen to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (cdc.gov) regarding social distancing and other appropriate measures. If you don’t have a fever, you have itchy eyes and sneezing like you did last year, and you have not been exposed to the virus, it’s probably not COVID-19. If you have a fever, cough, and shortness of breath and you’ve been to Italy or had a potential exposure, you should call your doctor to get tested and get care if needed (and obviously stay away from others). If your symptoms are between the two extremes, check with CDC guidelines and other websites and decide what to do.

3.

You might feel overwhelmed with sudden changes: “With school out, who watches the kids?” “How do I make up for lost pay?” etc. Let go of thoughts of how

life should be different, feel that diaphragmatic breath, and do the next task on your list with your full attention. The next task might be to make a plan, get help, or just work on another task—just do what’s next, one step at a time. Also, remember: There is usually more stress having a task hang over your head than just doing it.

4.

Don’t get stressed about being stressed. The more you resist stress, the worse it gets. Instead, interpret the extra adrenaline as having a high energy level or an energy burst. Perhaps you can use the energy and take a run, or just feel it flow through your veins.

5.

Keep things in perspective. Sure, there are big things going on now. However, our brains can make relatively small things look really big, too. Remember that your financial portfolio is not your life portfolio. Your ability to think, talk, walk, see, hear, and love are way more important than the current value of a financial investment. Our brains are unable to process many things at one time, so our full attention becomes focused on one problem. Gratitude is not a corny practice; it is bringing ourselves back to reality when we’ve lost perspective. Multiple times a day, list your blessings—shelter, food, health (focusing on what is working, not just what isn’t working) and, most of all, the people in your life.

6.

Reframe extra time at home. Hygge (pronounced hoo-guh) is a Danish term for being cozy and appreciating the moment. (Think of having hot cocoa by the fire with loved ones and playing a board game.) Much of our

Remember that the situation is evolving. Some decisions are easy: If you’re sick, stay away from others; while we have this epidemic, avoid going to big concerts; etc. There may be borderline decisions, too. If your plans are three months from now, and there’s no penalty for postponing a decision, remember that the right answer may become very clear by that time, so why stress now? On the other hand, if you’re responsible for organizing an event, canceling sooner rather than later will let others make better plans. Overall, remember that the importance of our community’s well-being should be more important than saving a few dollars.

9.

Know how to deal with emotions and when to ask for help. Accept your emotions for now. Otherwise, you’ll get sad about being sad or anxious about being anxious. You don’t need to justify your emotions. Simplify them and let go of the metaphors you hear in songs and movies.

Know it will pass. If it’s prolonged, please ask for help. Talk to a counselor and/or your primary care provider. Getting help when needed is a sign of maturity and wisdom. And don’t wait until you’re at wit’s end; get help early and often.

10.

Most of all, be kind and compassionate. Money can buy happiness, but only if you use it to help others. We’ve evolved to take joy in helping others, connecting with others, and working in teams. That’s how we puny humans without claws and fangs survived. The happiest people are not the richest ones but the ones who have learned to be compassionate. A concerning number of people will die form COVID-19, and we need to treat it as an emergency, but all of us suffer when there’s a lack of compassion. Think of the people closest to you and how you want them to be happy and healthy, and then bring those same thoughts and feelings to others. Be generous with your kind words and your kind deeds. We all will benefit, and so will you. COVID-19 is a wakeup call, a reminder that people are suffering emotionally and physically. Our salvation is in our compassion.

Dr. Jay Winner is a family physician, founder of Sansum Clinic’s Stress Reduction Program, and author of the book Relaxation on the Run.

DIRECT TO YOU I

n response to the COVID-19 outbreak, Peter

Zadeh, owner of Ethnic Breads at 137 Aero Camino in Goleta, is selling factory direct for the first time ever.

As of press time, most of his 150-plus restaurant clients, spanning from Solvang to Malibu, continue to order products as usual because many are still serving takeout or delivery. You can also find his breads at stores such as Tri-County Produce and Whole Foods. But he’s lost sales to high-end restaurants that have temporarily closed. And his daily sales of 1,000 units of ciabatta bread to UCSB ended when the school shut down.

After numerous phone calls from locals clamoring for bread during this crisis, he decided to start direct sales at his bakery in Goleta, beginning immediately. Ethnic Breads is now providing freshly baked bread to the community at cost. Their breads are preservative free, which is awesome, but that also means they will not last as long as many other store-bought products.

Ethnic Breads is accepting cash or credit payments and is open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. on weekdays, and 9 a.m.-noon on weekends. Call (805) 5699244. For bigger orders, call (805) 682-9499.

COVID-19 CLOSURES: There have been a number of high-profile closures of Santa Barbara restaurants during the coronavirus crisis. They include every tenant within the Santa Barbara Public Market and Acme Hospitality’s restaurants, including The Lark, Loquita, Paradise Café, and others. (See our coronavirus

coverage starting on p. 6 for more restaurant response news.)

STILL OPEN FOR DELIVERY, TAKEOUT: Many restau-

rants remain open for business, though most are encouraging take-out and/or delivery options.

Neighbor Tim’s BBQ is now serving lunch and dinner via delivery or pickup, with online ordering Tuesday-Friday, 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Dinner hours continue to be Tuesday-Sunday, 5-8 p.m. Deliv Delivery can be handled through Doordash, Grubhub, Post Postmates, Restaurant Connec Connection, and UberEats. Pickup is at 152-E Aero Camino in Goleta.

See neighbortimsbbq.com.

Rusty’s Pizza: “As with past disasters, I’m making every effort to remain open,” said Tyler Duncan, whose family owns Rusty’s Pizza. “We’ve closed the salad bars and implemented social dis distancing measures in the stores. Other than that, it is business as usual.” He hopes to open their new Summerland location in April.

Three Pickles Deli: Starting on March 18, owner Clay Lovejoy began serving only through online ordering and takeout, with no cash handling, at the downtown location. For the Goleta location, where online ordering is not set up, there will be a dedicated cashier “so as to not contaminate any food surfaces.” Lovejoy said both locations are giving out free kids’ sandwiches with the purchase of an adult sandwich while schools are closed. See threepickles.com.

Ca’ Dario: The Santa Barbara and Goleta locations of this Italian restaurant are offering a 20 percent discount on phone and delivery orders through Restaurant Connection.

So, in 1536, he wrote How to Drink: A Classical Guide to the Art of Imbibing,, pleading for moderation as a means of keeping alcoholic imbibement a virtuous affair.

of a painting’s composition/context. In “Bounce,” large, airborne poppies turn into a buoyant burst of orange hue, all the more vivid for the gray stormy sky and rolling terrain in the background.

Brunner contrasts that eccentric abandon with the more “rational” and even nearly traditional landscape approach of “Hi Ho,” depicting poppies and clouds with a straight face and a straight painterly hand.

Still, the waves of visual energy and sinuous contours separate the painting from a standard-brand landscape.

As much as notions of twisted landscape painting aesthetics and surrealist flexing have long been ascribed to Brummer, her spectrum of artistic references touches other idiomatic shores as well. Bubbling up and under the landscape/dream elements is a lateral connection to the visual influence of American Regionalism of the 1930s, with its jazzy rhythmic verve and warm, juicy palette. In Brunner’s work, we at least half-sense echoes of the rolling rhythms of Thomas Hart Benton’s paintings, albeit without Dust Bowl characters—or people, period — in sight.

What is in sight in Brunner’s world is both in tantalizing proximity to and detachment from nature, in the regional and the generic sense—and as we think we know it. Even if her recent Seeding Series finds her checking into earthier painter-subject pacts, Brunner still insists on creating in an expressive world of one’s own.

THE GREEN EMBER S.D. Smith’s fantasy novel is a wonderful read for young children who enjoy tales of adventure and mysterious journeys. It is beautifully written, and adults looking for chapter books to read aloud with their children will surely enjoy experiencing this book, as well.

It takes place in a world of animals on the brink of war. Heather and Picket are rabbit siblings that are forced to leave their comfortable lives to embark on a harrowing journey. These young rabbits were raised on stories of adventure, and they suddenly find themselves in the middle of one. There are fallen kings, hope for new princes, rabbits bearing swords, terrifying wolves, found family, and lost family.

What unfolds will encourage self-belief for many a young reader. The settings of serene meadows, terrifying woods, and strange and beautiful burrows are depicted in a way that make you feel part of the wonder the rabbit narrators are experiencing. If you like Brian Jacques’s Redwall series, you will surely like this.

For children not yet ready to read Redwall, this book may be a gentle introduction to animals living out medieval times, what with its narrators being children themselves. Readers will find wonderful, inspiring quotes and some hilarious ones that may well make it into their own worldviews, such as “Too little salt is an insult and too much salt is an assault.”

If you finish the book and find yourself wanting more, just look for the sequel, Ember Falls, which follows Heather and Picket into the next part of their tale.

BUNNIES U R G E N T LY NEEDING S H E LT E R Rescuing & re-homing animals in your community since 1992

WHAT IS BUNS? BUNS is an all - volunteer, non-profit 501(c)3 organization that cares for and re-homes stray and abandoned rabbits & guinea pigs at the Santa Barbara County Animal Shelter.

MISSION To provide shelter & care to rabbits and guinea pigs in need To promote the spaying & neutering of rabbits To promote & support adoption of the rabbits & guinea pigs in our care To provide education on the humane care, welfare & behavior of rabbits and guinea pigs

H I STO RY

In 1992, Dorothy Diehl was looking for an Angora rabbit. She came to the County Animal Shelter in Goleta. She didn’t find an Angora. What she found was several sad looking rabbits sitting outdoors, on the ground in wire cages. The cages were too small for comfort. Their food and water bowls were overturned and empty.

That night Dorothy was unable to sleep. The next day she drove to the shelter from her home in Carpinteria. Dorothy brought food and water bowls, filled them and attached them to the cage walls so they could not be tipped over. Every day after that, Dorothy came to the shelter to give the rabbits food and water. Each Saturday, Dorothy spent the day improving living conditions for the bunnies. She greeted each visitor and asked if they could volunteer to help the bunnies. Gradually she recruited volunteers. That was how BUNS began.

From those humble beginnings, BUNS has grown. Santa Barbara Animal Services has provided a permanent location where, since 1992, BUNS has rehomed over 4,000 rabbits and guinea pigs. We built a small building which we promptly outgrew, built hutches for the overflow and added 21 play yards.

Today, BUNS: · Takes overflow rabbits and guinea pigs from shelters in Santa Maria and Lompoc. · Offers monthly classes on rabbit and guinea pig care. · Spays and neuters every rabbit before adoption. · Provides vet care for injured and sick rabbits and guinea pigs relinquished to the shelter. · Hosts a monthly Hoppy Hour and Pignic.

All of this is done by volunteers and donors, like you.

Driven by love of rabbits and guinea pigs, we are BUNS.

F U N FA CTS

Rabbits from BUNS are litter trained and make great companions.

Bunnies are rabbits & rabbits are bunnies.

No difference.

Carrots? Think: candy.

They can’t survive on it.

In fact, healthy rabbits eat very few treats. It hurts their tummies.

Rabbits (bunnies) are different from hares.

House rabbits can’t survive outside so they should never be released in a park or field to fend for themselves.

The rabbits in your backyard are different from the ones that live in houses.

Many people right here in Santa Barbara area have rabbits living in their houses as pets!

Rabbits living in unscreened outside areas are vulnerable to a mosquito borne disease that’s fatal. Please protect your pets from fleas and mosquitos.

A SANCTUARY

DURING THE FIRE & DEBRIS FLOW EVACUATIONS OF 2017-2018

Rabbits like to live in pairs. So do guinea pigs!

At BUNS, we can help your pet find a friend.

Male rabbits are friendlier and easier to litter train if they are neutered.

Female rabbits live twice as long if they are spayed.

There are 305 breeds of domesticated rabbits in 70 countries.

Dwarf Dutch rabbits weigh about two pounds, while their cousins, the Flemish Giants, weigh ten times that much.

When natural disasters forced evacuations in our communities, BUNS was ready.

Our volunteers sheltered & cared for 20 rabbits & guinea pigs belonging to families affected by the Thomas Fire.

Another 25 animals arrived after the Montecito debris flows.

Evacuees remained at the shelter for 1-4 weeks.

High Schools and Colleges Cancel or Postpone Athletic Seasons and Championships

I

t was as if Tom Brady went up to the line and shouted “COVID-19! Hut! Hut!” and all the players scattered, the fans streamed to the exits, and the stadium became a quiet, empty shell.

Actually, the NFL continues to make news because this is the time of off-season transactions and the buildup to the draft.

But all the sports that would be playing now — basketball, baseball, et al. — are shut down from the professional to the youth leagues because of the coronavirus pandemic.

NBA fans can only hope that an interesting season in which the Lakers and Clippers are both title contenders can eventually be played out to some conclusion. The sports blackout really hit home in Santa Barbara when the NCAA and the NAIA decided to cancel their basketball championships as well as all spring sports competitions.

A week ago, the Westmont College women’s basketball team was celebrating after being named the No. 1 overall seed in the 32-team NAIA Championships. The Warriors’ excitement was doused a day later when the tournament was called off. They held one more practice for old times’ sake.

Coach Kirsten Moore felt sorrow for Maud Ranger, the team’s only senior, who would miss out on her last and best opportunity for a national championship. But Moore said, “We feel gratitude for the opportunities we did have. And did these women ever maximize their opportunities.” The Warriors finished the season on a 14-game winning streak and cut down the nets after winning their fifth consecutive Golden State Athletic Conference title.

UCSB fans were left wondering how far the Gaucho basketball teams could have gone when the Big West called off the conference tournament in Anaheim (albeit without spectators), followed by the total scuttling of March Madness. The Gaucho men’s standout senior guard, Max Heidegger, was sidelined by an injury anyway; he certainly knows that nothing is guaranteed in sports. The women’s team had a pair of streakshooting seniors, Coco Miller and Tal Sahar, who might have made the Gauchos an NCAA Cinderella.

In men’s volleyball, UCSB was shaping up as a serious national title contender when its season ended before a showdown against two-time defending champion Long Beach State.

Then there’s the Gaucho baseball team, which came home from a three-game sweep at Oregon State last week with a 13-2 record. With their wins over Cal and UCLA, the Gauchos were 5-0 against the Pac-12 Conference. Their pitching staff had

a combined earned-run average of 1.84, tied for the NCAA’s best with defending champion Vanderbilt. Coach Andrew Checketts said they were beginning to remind him of the 2016 Gauchos, who rode pitching and defense into the College World Series.

“We went through the lion’s den up there,” Checketts said about the series in Corvallis, Oregon. “It was cold, miserable — all the traps for a Southern California team.”

Then the curtain slammed down on UCSB’s remaining 41 games, 23 of which would have been played at home. “It’s a challenging situation,” Checketts said. “A lot of work went into getting ready for the season — eight months of winding up the toy. It happened so fast, going from play to suspend to cancel in 48 hours.”

The NCAA — and the NAIA too, in Westmont’s case — is offering an extra year of eligibility to athletes in spring sports.

But don’t expect the same Gaucho baseball team to be back next year. Anybody who earns his degree is unlikely to play as a graduate student, Checketts said, because college baseball scholarships cover only a fraction of the teams’ rosters. Several outstanding juniors, like starting pitcher Zach Torra (3-0, 0.36 ERA) and reliever Conner Roberts (4-1, 2.04), figure to be taken in the next Major League Draft.

“We’ve had the second most players drafted on the West Coast in the past five to seven years,” Checketts said. But this year’s team, which did not have super high expectations heading into the season, was just starting to attract scouts.

Despite the complications of having the 2020 season upended, Checketts does not question the necessity of it. “An abundance of caution is appropriate, given the threat of the pandemic,” he said. There is a welcome consequence: “I’m seeing my kids a lot more.”

He has three grade-school-age children. They see him coaching college players every weekend during the baseball season. “My son [William, 8] usually doesn’t get a lot of help from me,” Checketts said. “The last three days, I coached him at the park.”

HIGH SCHOOLERS HANG UP CLEATS: The coronavirus is also

affecting prep sports. South Santa Barbara County schools fall under the jurisdiction of the CIF Southern Section, but that governing body has left all decision-making regarding cancellations and postponements to local schools and school districts.

“The CIF Southern Section is too large, both by number of schools and by geographic area, to have a one-size-fits-all response to the virus,” said CIF Southern Section commissioner Rob Wigod in a press release. “We believe that important decisions regarding school closures, cancelling/postponing athletic events, etc., should be made by local schools and school districts in concert with local and state health officials and guidance from the Centers for Disease Control.”

All athletic events and other “nonessential travel and events” for all students and staff in the Santa Barbara Unified School District and all schools in Santa Barbara County were canceled on Thursday, March 12, through at least the remainder of March. The suspension of athletic activities may very well wipe out the remainder of the spring sports season.

The impact of this announcement is wide-ranging, but most directly impacts sports that are currently in season. That includes baseball, softball, boys’ golf, boys’ tennis, boys’ and girls’ lacrosse, boys’ and girls’ swimming, boys’ and girls’ track and field, and boys’ volleyball.

“As of now, athletics is, in a sense, postponed. I don’t want to say the word ‘canceled,’ ” said Santa Barbara High athletic director Joe Chenoweth. “We hope at some point we can come back and finish out.”

The seniors who have worked most of their lives toward this six- to eight-week window to make their mark at the varsity level have been hit the hardest by the postponement. The timing couldn’t be any more devastating.

For Moses Dokes, a senior who transferred in from Denver East High School to play baseball at Santa Barbara High, his father’s alma mater, losing a chance to build on that legacy has been tough to swallow. He had to sit out 11 games to start his junior season due to transfer rules.

“It does suck because this is my senior year and these are my brothers that I play with,” Dokes said. “These are my boys, and to find out that I can’t play with them anymore, it hits different.

It hits home.”

The fragility of sports aspirations are at the back of every athlete’s mind. Whether it be an injury, a slump, or a global pandemic, a lifetime of hard work is always in the balance.

“It’s just killing me. It’s at this point in the season where we are 7-3 and we are figuring out whether we are good or really good,” said San Marcos High boys’ volleyball coach Roger Kuntz. “I’ve got seven seniors, and some of those seniors waited for their time last year as juniors for this opportunity to be the go-to guys and to be the starters and to be surrounded by a lot n of experience.”

W

e interrupt your regularly scheduled horoscopes to offer insights about the virusdriven turning point that the whole world is now experiencing.

As you’ve probably guessed, all of us are being invited to reevaluate everything we think we know about what it means to be human. I refer to this unprecedented juncture as The Tumultuous Upgrade or The Disruptive Cure. It’s fraught with danger and potential opportunities; crisis and possible breakthroughs.

And while the coronavirus is the main driving force, it won’t be the only factor. We must be ready for more Rough, Tough Healings disguised as Bumpy Challenges in the coming months.

Here’s the astrological lowdown: Throughout 2020, there’s a rare confluence of three planets in Capri-

corn: Pluto, Saturn, and Jupiter. They are synergizing each other’s impacts in ways that confound us and rattle us. In the bestcase scenario, they’ll also energize us to initiate brave transformations in our own personal lives as well as in our communities.

Below is a profile of each planet’s meaning: When we are in intense and intimate relationship with Pluto — as we are now — we’re invited to dive down deeper: to see life from the soul’s perspective rather than from the ego’s; to seek wealth and meaning not as they’re defined by the material world but as they’re understood by the part of us that’s eternal. Descending into the mysterious Plutonian depths can be disruptive to our conscious beliefs and intentions but may ultimately be profoundly regenerative.

When we are in intense and intimate relationship with Saturn, we’re invited to get more serious and focused; to register the fact that we don’t have unlimited time and energy, but that we must firmly decide what’s important and what’s not.

We’re asked to be ruthlessly honest about the roles that are most likely to bring out the best in us.

When we are in an intense and intimate relationship with Jupiter, we’re invited to risk growth and expansion; to take proactive responsibility for seeking the rich experiences that our souls long for; to aggressively enhance our lust for life.

Now, I invite you to meditate on the potent mix of Plutonian, Saturnian, and Jupiterian energies.

I encourage you to respond to the convulsion by deepening your understanding of how profoundly interconnected we all are and upgrading the way you take care of yourself, the people you love, and our natural world.

In the horoscopes below, I suggest personal shifts that will be available to you during this once-in-alifetime blend of planetary energies.

“Decade in Review, Part 1” -- fun stuff from 2010 & 2011.

WANT TO get your brain mapped for free?

Nutritional scientists at Nutrient (a Reno‑based food company), in collaboration with the team at Neurofield Neurotherapy Inc, are recruiting 10 adults to participate in a 1‑day research study. The purpose of the study is to measure changes in brain activity as measured by the Neurofield qEEG (non‑invasive brain mapping device) after consuming a brain‑targeted Nutrient shake.

The study takes place at the Neurofield office (1836 State St). 2 EEGs (plus analysis), the BrainShake are provided free of charge. There is no financial compensation.
