Doctors discuss new COVID-19 vaccine Cottage Health, Marian haven’t ordered doses yet

By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Cottage Health and Marian Regional Medical Center are waiting for further information before ordering the new bivalent version of the COVID-19 vaccine, designed to tackle variants including BA.5.

But Lompoc Valley Medical Center has already ordered 1,100 doses.

The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday amended the emergency use authorization of the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine to allow for the bivalent formulations. The new vaccines, which the FDA calls “updated boosters,” are designed to be used as a single booster at least two months after the primary or booster vaccination.

The FDA said the new shot contains two messenger RNA components of SARS-CoV-2 virus: one of the original strain of SARS-CoV-2 and the other one in common between the BA.4 and BA.5 lineages of the omicron variant of SARS-CoV-.

On Thursday, CDC advisers voted 13-1 to recommend the new bivalent version of the Moderna and Pfizer COVID19 vaccine. The advisers are recommending that anyone 12 and older get the new shot.

“The updated COVID-19 boosters are formulated to better protect against the most recently circulating COVID-19 variant,” said Rochelle Walensky, the CDC director, in a statement. “If you are eligible, there is no bad time to get your COVID-19 booster, and I strongly encourage you to receive it.”

Dr. David Fisk, the infectious disease specialist for Cottage Health, told the News-Press that the health care system, which operates hospitals in Santa Barbara, Goleta and Solvang, has not yet ordered the vaccine.

That’s also the case at Marian Regional Medical Center in Santa Maria, according to Dr. Scott Robertson, a physician at the hospital and president and CEO of Pacific Central Coast Health Centers.

Southbound Highway 101 and the onramp to the 101 from State Route 217 (as seen from the Patterson Avenue overpass) is snarled with traffic after a fatal vehicle collision involving a pedestrian in the early morning on Thursday.

By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A pedestrian walking across Highway 101 around 3 a.m.

Thursday died after being struck by a big rig traveling south.

The fatal nighttime crash occurred north of Turnpike Road in the Goleta area and led to the closure of two of the freeway’s three lanes until around 1:30 p.m.

The closure impacted nearby streets. There was a gridlock on Hollister Avenue, along with heavy traffic on Foothill and Cathedral Oaks roads. Traffic was backed up on Patterson Avenue as motorists

tried to get on the freeway.

The big rig, which was pulling a trailer, approached Turnpike Road at an undetermined speed.

The pedestrian walked from the right shoulder toward the center divider of Highway 101, the California Highway Patrol reported.

The pedestrian was struck in the second lane, and the driver of the big rig stopped on the right shoulder and called 9-11. The CHP, the Santa Barbara County Fire Department and the American Medical Response Please see FATALITY on A6

Saving California’s last nuke plant could save ratepayers money, energy suppliers say

By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – California lawmakers sent a proposal to Gov. Gavin Newsom that could extend the life of the state’s last nuclear plant through 2030, a measure energy providers estimate could result in some savings for ratepayers.

The vote, which came after midnight Thursday morning, gives lawmakers the option to make a $1.4 billion loan available to extend the life of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant.

The plant – initially set to shut down in 2025 – produces

nearly 10% of California’s energy portfolio, according to Pacific Gas & Electric. Gov. Newsom proposed extending the facility’s lifespan in the final weeks of the legislature, stressing the need to utilize the power plant to ensure California’s energy reliability while more renewable sources become available.

“I am not a proponent of the Diablo Canyon power plant; I am a proponent of keeping the lights on,” Assemblymember Chris Holden said, adding that the plant is a temporary “stopgap” measure to give the state time to develop and deploy clean energy Please see NUCLEAR on A3

Ehrman appointed to county Board of Education

By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara County Board of Education has appointed Nadra Ehrman to fill the seat left vacant by the midterm resignation of Dr. Peter MacDougall.

Ms. Ehrman will represent Trustee Area 2, which covers most of Goleta and a portion of western Santa Barbara. She will hold office until the election in November 2024, which is the remainder of Dr. MacDougall’s term.

Ms. Ehrman brings to the board her experience as a leader and community volunteer. She serves as the director of sustainability at The Towbes Group in Santa

Barbara, and she has been with the company for 13 years. Before moving to Santa Barbara, she worked for San Diego Youth Services and St. Vincent de Paul, providing housing and support services to at-risk youth.

She currently serves as the governance chair on the Community Environmental Council and on the State Street Advisory Committee. She is a Katherine Harvey Fellows alumna, a former member of the Institute of Real Estate Management Central Coast Chapter 102 and a former Green Business Steering Committee member.

She received her bachelor’s degree from UC Santa Cruz and

a master of science in social entrepreneurship at USC. Her family has attended local public schools from elementary to high school.

Following her appointment at the board’s regular meeting on Thursday. Ms. Ehrman said she was thrilled to be selected and ready for the work ahead.

“The appointment to the County Board of Education is truly humbling. The importance of education was ingrained in me as a child,” said Ms. Ehrman in a news release. “As an adult, I realize that true education involves awareness, compassion and effective communication. I’m thrilled to be in a role where I

can highlight the importance of those values and hopefully have a lasting, positive impact on our community’s youth.”

Board President Judy Frost said she was elated to welcome Ms. Ehrman to the board. “We welcome her and appreciate her willingness to devote her time and energy to the mission of the Santa Barbara County Education Office. We very much look forward to the experience, knowledge and perspectives she will bring to our conversations.”

Susan Salcido, the county superintendent of schools, said Ms. Ehrman’s background in youth advocacy and sustainability best practices, and commitment

to education and community volunteerism, make her wellsuited for the role.

“We congratulate and welcome Nadra Ehrman to the County Board of Education,” Dr. Salcido said in a news release. “We also extend a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Peter MacDougall for the leadership and experience he brought to our board for 16 years in service to students, educators, and families.”

“Ehrman was selected by the board from a pool of eligible candidates after a multi-step application and interview process,” Dr. Salcido said. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

California CARE Court bill heads to Newsom

By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – California lawmakers gave the final stamp of approval Wednesday to a bill backed by Gov. Gavin Newsom that provides court-ordered treatment plans and supportive services for people on the schizophrenia spectrum or with psychotic disorders.

The bill, which establishes the Community Assistance, Recovery and Empowerment (CARE) Act, received broad bipartisan support in both chambers of the Legislature, passing in a 62-2 vote in the Assembly and unanimously in the Senate. The bill now heads to Gov. Newsom’s desk.

“Today’s passage of the CARE Act means hope for thousands of Californians suffering from severe forms of mental illness who too often languish on our streets without the treatment they desperately need and deserve,” Gov. Newsom said in a statement Wednesday.

Backed by cities across the state and strongly opposed by disability rights advocates and the American Civil Liberties Union, the bill would let a person petition for a court-ordered plan that could include behavioral health care, medication, and housing. The petition triggers hearings to develop a treatment plan.

Adults experiencing a severe mental illness like schizophrenia and are either “unlikely to survive safely” without supervision or have a condition that requires support to prevent deterioration could qualify for the program.

The CARE plan could last for up to two years, providing services like medication and treatment.

Gov. Newsom and others have touted the measure as a way to break the cycle of homelessness and incarceration among people with severe mental problems.

The measure has faced strong opposition from groups within California and across the nation who fear it will result in coerced treatment that would take away a person’s right to make their own care decisions.

Eric Harris, the director of Public Policy with Disability Rights California, told The Center Square Wednesday that the organization still has major concerns about the bill and is “disappointed” in its passage on Wednesday.

“Forced treatment and not providing guaranteed housing is not going to be

beneficial to a lot of these people,” Ms. Harris said. “We believe that voluntary treatment options that are robust and guarantee accessible, affordable housing is going to bring out the best results and have people who want to engage in this type of process.”

Ms. Harris said the bill was constructed without input from a “large number of disability leaders,” noting that leaders at Disability Rights California “weren’t consulted at all.”

The bill received several amendments in its final days in the Legislature, including one that phases in implementation. The counties of Glenn, Orange, Riverside, San Diego, Stanislaus, Tuolumne and the city and county of San Francisco must implement the program

by Oct. 1, 2023. The rest of the state has until Dec. 1, 2024.

Other amendments require funding from the Department of Health Care Services and substitute the director of county behavioral health as the petitioner if someone other than the director petitions the court.

As the bill wound its way through the Legislature, lawmakers raised concerns about how the program would be funded and whether counties would have the staffing to handle the program. In the end, the bill won praise from both Democratic and Republican lawmakers for its potential to curb addiction and homelessness.

“This measure, I believe, is the first truly bipartisan attempt to compassionately clear homeless encampments off our streets, sidewalks and highways, to assess the health behavior and needs of homeless individuals and to put together an actual plan to stop the downward spiral that many homeless individuals have so long been on,” Senator Brian Jones, R-Santee, said Wednesday.

Two lawmakers voted against the measure – Assemblymember Ash Kalra and Mark Stone. In a statement sent to The Center Square, Assemblymember Kalra said he could not support the bill because the program has “missing pieces needed for an effective, sustainable solution.”

“While I echo the urgency to find a solution, if we do not couple permanent housing and wraparound services for our unhoused with severe mental illness, we are setting them up for failure,” Assemblymember Kalra said.

Gov. Newsom has until Sept. 30 to sign the legislation.

future renewable energy projects like our offshore wind lease in Morro Bay nor the proposed Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary,” Rep. Carbajal said. “But we must still see the full roadmap when it comes to obtaining a new license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and understand how PG&E intends to deal with the safety concerns related to this aging nuclear power plant and the additional nuclear waste that will be produced and housed in our backyard.”

“Lastly, extending the life of this power plant reminds us all that we need to redouble our efforts to get California fully reliant on renewable energy sources as quickly as possible.

Long periods of heat and high energy usage like we’re seeing this week are the new normal.

California lawmakers kill bill that would have let legislative staff unionize

THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – California legislative staff will not have the option to unionize after a bill allowing them to organize was killed by lawmakers Wednesday evening.

Lawmakers in the Assembly Committee on Public Employment and Retirement ultimately rejected Assembly Bill 1577 on Wednesday, a measure that would have provided collective bargaining rights to legislative staff starting in July 2024. The measure was a step away from a hearing on the Assembly floor, where lawmakers would have decided whether or not to send the bill to Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The committee’s chair, Assemblymember Jim Cooper, announced at the beginning of the committee hearing that he was pulling the bill off the agenda, saying he could not support it. The decision was met with “boos” from legislative staff who were in the room, many of whom promptly got up and left.

Shortly after announcing his decision, Assemblymember Cooper changed course and decided to allow the bill to have a hearing in the committee. That didn’t change the outcome, however, as the bill never made it to the Assembly floor.

“The fact that there’s a 40-page analysis should speak to how far this bill has to go to be workable,” Assemblymember Cooper said when he first pulled the bill. “There are procedural, legal and administrative problems that are far from being answered.”

Despite the Legislature’s track record of supporting labor unions, this is the fourth time in five years that a bill to allow legislative staff to unionize has failed to pass, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Former Assemblywoman and current Chief Officer of the California Labor Federation, Lorena Gonzalez, began the push in 2018.

Local firefighters have prepared for the current heat wave, which is accompanied by predictions of fast-moving sundowner winds.

The need for caution is being emphasized by the Santa Barbara County Fire Department, the operational area (Op. Area) and the Santa Barbara County Fire Chiefs Association.

The California Office of Emergency Services is funding the Santa Barbara County Operational Area fire departments/ partnership with up-staffed personnel and resources for a countywide response in addition to the Op. Area response levels.

Although the National Weather Service has not issued a red flag warning for the South Coast, firefighters said the area is “flirting with red flag conditions.”

The alignment of topography, winds, temperatures and low humidity can influence large scale, fast-moving and extreme fire behavior, according to the news release.

The public is encouraged to remain in a “Ready State” (Ready, Set, Go!) throughout the predicted weather period.

Firefighters recommend taking the following precautions: • Report any sign of smoke immediately to your local fire department by calling 9-1-1.

• Use extreme caution when operating spark or flame-producing machinery in hazardous

lifespan in July and April.

In both statements, he emphasized the need for any extension to include community input, to not hinder future renewable projects in the area, and to ensure proper safety and environmental processes are met.

U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal stressed caution in a statement after the California legislature passed a measure that would provide financial support to extend the lifespan of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant by five years.

The nuclear power plant is located near Avila Beach in San Luis Obispo County.

“One only needs to step outside this week to be reminded of the critical need for California to be equipped to handle the increasing impacts of the climate crisis, including ensuring our power grid is prepared to deal with increased demand and that we do not move backward in our fight to decarbonize our energy sources,” said Rep. Carbajal, D-

Santa Barbara, in a news release.

“But the right decision in a crisis, if made without adequate outreach and thought, can still be a wrong one. That is why, from the first suggestions of this extension in April, I have made it clear that consistent outreach to the Central Coast on the safety and environmental concerns was necessary to accompany this proposed extension.

“I appreciate the steps that have been taken to engage with our community in recent months, but this is not the end. In fact, there are still many decisions that remain to be made before the plant is approved for extended operations.”

“I believe the shorter-term extension approved by the legislature will help meet one of my top concerns: ensuring that this move does not jeopardize

Shorthanded Vaqueros battle Irvine Valley hard in volleyball defeat

By MICHAEL JORGENSON SBCC SPORTS WRITER

The SBCC women’s volleyball team was severely underrepresented as a result of COVID-19 protocols in Wednesday night’s home match with Irvine Valley, but put up quite a fight despite falling in three sets, 25-22, 25-21, 27-25.

“Playing shorthanded tonight, our team of an “elite 8” played their hearts out in a battle with IVC!” head coach Kat Niksto said. “I was beyond proud of the team effort with girls playing out of position, just trusting in their teammates and playing all out.”

Opposite Caroline McCarty was the only sophomore on the court for the Vaqueros (22), as she led the team in kills (9) for the fourth straight time to begin the year.

The freshmen stepped up in a big way while receiving their most playing of the young season. Outside hitters Heidi Collins and Ava Guenther finished with eight kills apiece.

Setter Mikayla Butzke went for 29 assists.

The SBCC women’s soccer team shut out its second straight opponent to begin the season, but wasn’t able to make a mark on the scoreboard in a 0-0 draw with Orange Coast on Wednesday night at the Ventura New Balance Showcase.

“It was a competitive game that we went close to winning,” head coach John Sisterson said.

“It was a good performance from the squad with players missing due to injury. The defense played well and kept another clean sheet with Analea Pule making a good save in the first and second half, pushing the ball over the top both times.”

The Vaqueros are now out to a 1-0-1 start to the year, as are the Pirates. Pule ended the game with four saves, while Santa Barbara’s offense tallied 16 shots.

Sophomore midfielder Dakota Thyssen came very close to winning the game at the end. With four minutes left on the clock, her potential game-winning attempt just traveled over the back post with the goalkeeper beaten.

“The midfield moved the ball around and tried to link up at every opportunity against a strong opponent that had just won their previous game 6-0,” said Sisterson. “The forwards tried their best but were foiled by some good goalkeeping. But, a positive result we can build on!”

SBCC will play its second and final match of the tournament against Evergreen Valley this Friday, Sept. 2 at 11:00 a.m.

PG&E, which operates the Diablo Canyon Power Plant, estimates the total impact of keeping the plant operation for ratepayers will be minimal but could result in some customer savings.

“Diablo Canyon provides energy both day and night, and will cost far less than comparable baseline resources like geothermal and biomass,” PG&E Spokesperson Suzanne Hosn told The Center Square in an email. “We estimate the cost to our customers from continuing to operate the plant will range from a charge of less than $1 a month to a bill credit of more than $5 per month, depending on market prices.”

Lawmakers emphasized Thursday that the bill includes two important protections for ratepayers if the plant remains up and running – it prevents PG&E from realizing windfall profits and requires PG&E to refund ratepayers when Diablo Canyon is profitable. Republican lawmakers in the Senate were skeptical that PG&E investors

The vote on the bill comes days before the Sept. 6 deadline for PG&E to apply for a share of $6 billion in federal funds made available by the Biden administration to save nuclear plants at risk of closing. Without the federal funds, lawmakers said an extension of the plant’s operating life would not be possible without a subsidy from the state’s General Fund or ratepayers.

Several lawmakers on both sides of the political arena spoke in support of the measure Thursday, stressing the importance of maintaining energy reliability and availability for California residents.

“When given the choice between keeping this plant online and blackouts, the choice is pretty straightforward,” Assemblymember Eduardo

Garcia said.

The Diablo Canyon extension was one of several climate measures Gov. Newsom presented to the legislature in the final weeks of the session. In the waning days, the governor proposed a five-pronged climate plan to lawmakers, which included proposals to set ambitious targets for carbon neutrality.

Most proposals made it out of the legislature and onto the governor’s desk. One proposal that made it out would prohibit new oil and gas drilling within 3,200 feet of homes, schools and parks.

One proposal, however, failed to pass in a last-minute vote in the Assembly. Assembly Bill 2133 would have adopted a more aggressive greenhouse gas emissions reduction target for 2030 - stretching the target from 40% to 55% below 1990 levels.

(The Center Square) – A new federal report shows that the nationwide shutdown of schools during the COVID-19 pandemic led to historic learning losses for students.

The Department of Education released data Thursday showing that national test scores declined the most in decades.

“Average scores for age 9 students in 2022 declined 5 points in reading and 7 points in mathematics compared to 2020,” the report said. “This is the largest average score decline in reading since 1990, and the first ever score decline in mathematics. This Highlights report compares performance

on the NAEP long-term trend reading and mathematics assessments for age 9 students from the winter of 2020 to results of long-term trend assessments in the winter of 2022.”

The report shows that minority students were hit hardest.

“In mathematics, the 13-point score decrease among Black students compared to the 5-point decrease among White students resulted in a widening of the White−Black score gap from 25 points in 2020 to 33 points in 2022,” the report said.

Many blamed the pandemic for the learning loss, but others argued the losses could have been avoided if schools had remained open.

“Utterly indefensible,” said U.S. Sen. Ted

Cruz, R-Texas, after the data was released.

“This is what Dem school shutdowns have done to our kids.”

The report found that technology and the home learning environment was key to a students’ success.

“Of the 70 percent of 9-year-olds who learned remotely during the 2020–21 school year, higher performers (those at or above the 75th percentile) had greater access to a desktop computer, laptop, or tablet all the time; a quiet place to work available some of the time; and a teacher available to help them with mathematics or reading schoolwork every day or almost every day compared to lower performers (those below the 25th percentile),” the report said.

THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – The rideshare company Lyft is being sued by 17 people, including an Illinois woman, claiming the company is not protecting passengers and drivers from physical and sexual assaults.

During a Zoom news conference Wednesday, several victims detailed attacks on them.

Chicago resident Stella Grant said she was attacked while driving and needed to go to the hospital.

On Aug. 30, 2021, Ms. Grant picked up a passenger whose name was different from the one shown on the ride request. When Ms. Grant attempted to confirm the passenger’s identity during the ride, she said it became clear that she was intoxicated. Then, the passenger started cursing at Ms. Grant and began punching her in

the head, face, back, and shoulder, Ms. Grant said. Ms. Grant called 911, and the passenger lunged forward and grabbed the steering wheel from the backseat while the vehicle was in motion, causing the vehicle to crash. The passenger then struck Ms. Grant in the face with a sharp object, cutting a deep gash, she said.

“This whole incident has affected me mentally, financially, and emotionally,” Ms. Grant said.

“I’m scared to look at my mirror because the scar reminds me of being attacked.”

Attorney Tracy Cowan notes that as early as 2015, Lyft became aware that its drivers and passengers were being sexually assaulted, physically attacked, raped, and even murdered while using the app.

“It should be doing much more comprehensive background screening on its drivers, and if it put dash cams in every car the

On Wednesday, Lyft issued a statement regarding the lawsuits.

“We’re committed to helping keep drivers and riders safe.

While safety incidents on our platform are incredibly rare, we realize that even one is too many. Our goal is to make every Lyft ride as safe as possible, and we will continue to take action and invest in technology, policies and partnerships to do so,” the

statement read.

Lyft said the company has instituted processes that will detect and take action against unsafe rider behavior, including temporarily or permanently deactivating accounts.

Attorney Adam Wolf said it is about time Lyft addresses this wave of violence in their cars.

“It is an epidemic, and it needs to stop,” Mr. Wolf said. “It is unconscionable that Lyft has been aware of this ongoing problem for years and done virtually nothing.”

(The Center Square) – The first bus carrying foreign nationals who crossed the southern border illegally arrived in Chicago Wednesday as Texas Gov. Greg Abbott expanded the state’s busing strategy to a third so-called sanctuary city.

In an effort to relieve Texas and border communities from an influx of people pouring through the southern border illegally, Gov. Abbott first began busing foreign nationals in the country illegally to Washington, D.C., in April. In early August, he began busing others to New York City.

Wednesday night, the first bus arrived at Union Station in Chicago.

“President Biden’s inaction at our southern border continues putting the lives of Texans – and Americans – at risk and is overwhelming our communities,” Gov. Abbott said. “To continue providing much-needed relief to our small, overrun border towns, Chicago will join fellow sanctuary cities Washington, D.C. and New York City as an additional dropoff location. Mayor [Lori] Lightfoot loves to tout the responsibility of her city to welcome all regardless of legal status, and I look forward to seeing this responsibility in action as these migrants receive resources from a sanctuary city with the capacity to serve them.”

With Chicago’s “Welcoming City Ordinance,” the city cannot legally deny taxpayerfunded services to individuals based on their citizenship or immigration status.

to individuals based on their citizenship or immigration status.

According to a report published by the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI), Chicago is the third most dangerous Sanctuary Community in America.

Sanctuary Communities refer to government policies that discourage law enforcement officials from complying with federal immigration law in cities, counties and states, according to the Franklin County Law Library, located in Columbus, Ohio. Such communities generally refuse to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials to detain and remove dangerous criminal aliens.

In 2020, Mayor Lightfoot signed an executive order making “illegal aliens eligible for all city benefits,” and a city ordinance prohibiting city officials “from cooperating with ICE to detain illegal aliens, even if the alien is in the city’s gang database or is facing criminal charges,” the report said. In 2019, Cook County District Attorney Kimberly Foxx also hired an advisor to shield criminal aliens from deportation.

The mayor’s office did not immediately respond to requests for comment about the report and as of Tuesday night did not issue a statement about Gov. Abbott’s busing strategy.

President Joe Biden’s “refusal to secure the border is a direct threat to our national security,” Gov. Abbott said. “Texas is stepping up to protect Americans from these dangerous criminals.”

Since Gov. Abbott launched Texas’ border security effort, Operation Lone Star, law enforcement officials have apprehended more than 297,200 people who’ve illegally entered Texas, made more than 19,000 criminal arrests, more than 16,400 felony charges and seized more than 335.5 million lethal doses of fentanyl – enough to kill nearly every adult and child in the U.S. Texas has so far bused nearly 10,000 people from the southern border to the sanctuary cities of New York City (1,500) and Washington, D.C. (7,400).

More Report: New York City is the Americans most dangerous ‘Sanctuary expect civil Community’ in America war than not in

By BETHANY BLANKLEY

THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) – As Texas Gov. Greg Abbott continues to bus foreign nationals who’ve entered the U.S. illegally to New York City, a new report reveals that the Big Apple is the most dangerous so-called “Sanctuary Community” in America.

According to data compiled by the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI), the 10 most dangerous Sanctuary Communities are New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Minneapolis, Seattle, Wake County, North Carolina,

Middlesex County, New Jersey, and Portland.

“These communities have earned their places on this list because of incredibly poor leadership at the city, county and state levels,” Dale Wilcox, IRLI’s executive director and general counsel, said. “Data overwhelmingly shows that sanctuary policies lead to more crime, fear and death. The leaders of these communities should not escape accountability for the damage they have caused. Their residents deserve much more.”

Youngkin backs out of costly RGGI compact, could face legal challenge

By TYLER ARNOLD THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s administration will use its regulatory authority to end Virginia’s participation in a costly carbon credit program.

The decision is likely to face a legal challenge by environmentalist groups who say the executive branch doesn’t have the legal authority to do so.

The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, also known as RGGI, is a multistate compact that gradually reduces carbon emissions over several years in the participating states. RGGI caps the amount of carbon emissions allowed in the state and puts limits on individual entities. Those entities must purchase a limited number of carbon credits if they need to emit more carbon, but the number of available credits decreases over several years. Going over one’s allotted carbon emissions would yield hefty fines.

Virginia entered the compact under former Gov. Ralph Northam’s administration after the General Assembly passed legislation authorizing him to do so. Most of the credits are purchased by the commonwealth’s energy utilities and some of the costs are being passed down to ratepayers. Between 2019 and 2043, the State Corporations Commission estimates that RGGI will cost nearly $6 billion and eventually yield rate increases between $84 and $144 for the average ratepayer annually.

Gov. Youngkin campaigned on getting Virginia out of RGGI and his administration is acting on that promise. In a statement, Acting Secretary of Historic and Natural Resources Travis Voyle said the administration will repeal the trading rule, which would end the commonwealth’s participation in the compact.

“RGGI is a bad deal for Virginia and RGGI costs are being passed on to Virginian consumers,” Mr. Voyle said. “To ensure the Commonwealth is pursuing environmental protection, improvements to energy reliability and innovation, and providing affordable energy to consumers, there is a need to step away from the status quo and current path of energy policy that forces a transition without consideration to impacts. Given all of this and how RGGI is a bad deal for Virginians, the Administration will be moving forward with

an action to repeal the trading rule and end Virginia’s participation in RGGI.” The plan to leave RGGI and the process by which the governor intends to do so are both controversial. Environmental groups and Senate Democratic leadership have said they do not think the administration can take Virginia out of RGGI without going through the General Assembly, which could turn Virginia’s potential exit into a legal battle.

“RGGI has already proven it reduces pollution at the same time that it brings in desperately needed resources,” Nate Benforado, a senior attorney for the Southern Environmental Law Center, said in a statement.

“But instead of supporting this popular program to reduce carbon pollution, the Youngkin administration has consistently sought to take unlawful action to end Virginia’s participation in RGGI – despite the fact that neither the governor nor regulators have the authority to do so,” Mr. Benforado added.

“The lawmakers who do have that authority in the General Assembly know RGGI is already delivering real resources to Virginians on the frontlines of climate change.”

Although the General Assembly authorized Virginia’s participation in RGGI, some opponents of the compact have argued that nothing in the law requires the commonwealth to participate and the administration can leave the compact if it wishes.

“I don’t read the statute as requiring that Virginia participate in the compact, or that it impose this tax utility on customers,” Stephen Haner, a senior fellow for state and local tax policy at the free-market Thomas Jefferson Institute, told The Center Square.

“If they wanted the bill to say that, they wrote it poorly,” Mr. Haner said. “But without doubt some Virginia judge will get that question. Unfortunately, the full regulatory process will take at least another year and a half, meaning Virginia energy costs will continue to include the RGGI tax for that period – probably another $500 million in six more auctions.”

In January, Gov. Youngkin directed the Department of Environmental Quality to notify RGGI of the governor’s intent to withdraw, either through his regulatory authority or through legislation.

Get Screened for Risks of Stroke and Cardiovascular Disease

By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE SENIOR REPORTER

(The Center Square) — Political tensions have ramped up year after year, and now nearly half the country thinks a civil war could happen in the U.S. in the next decade.

Newly released polling data from YouGov and The Economist show that “two in five Americans believe a civil war is at least somewhat likely in the next decade.”

Only 35% of those surveyed said it was not likely or not “very likely.”

“What is the likelihood that political violence will culminate in a civil war in the U.S.? While only 14% of Americans say a civil war is very likely in the next decade, 43% say it is at least somewhat likely,” YouGov said. “About one in three – 35% – say it is not very or at all likely, and 22% are unsure. People who say they are ‘strong Republicans’ are the political group most likely to anticipate a civil war: 21% say it’s very likely, compared to less than 15% of each of the other four political groups studied.”

According to the poll, Americans don’t expect the situation to improve.

“Two-thirds of Americans (66%) believe that political divisions in this country have gotten worse since the beginning of 2021, compared to only 8% who say the country has grown less divided,” YouGov said.

“Few see things improving in the coming years: 62% expect an increase in political divisions.”

They also expect an increase in political violence.

“A similar share (63%) to the proportion who say political divisions have worsened (66%) say political violence has increased since the start of 2021,” YouGov said.

“Three in five Americans (60%) anticipate an increase in political violence in the next few years and only 9% expect political violence to decline.”

The FBI raid of former president Donald Trump is the latest incident to weaken confidence in national institutions.

Rasmussen Reports released polling data earlier this month that reported that 44% of surveyed Americans say the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago made them trust the FBI less.

“Last week’s raid by the Federal Bureau of Investigation on former President Donald Trump’s home has damaged the FBI’s standing with Republican and independent voters,” Rasmussen said, as The Center Square previously reported.

“A new national telephone and online survey by Rasmussen Reports finds that 44% of likely U.S. voters say the FBI raid on Trump’s Florida home made them trust the FBI less, compared to 29% who say it made them trust the bureau more. Twenty-three percent say the Trump raid did not make much difference in their trust of the FBI.” Casey Harper works at The Center Square’s Washington, D.C., bureau.

Vaccine triggers ‘immune system to target BA.5 VACCINE

Continued from Page A1 and follow guidance of the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department,” Dr. Robertson told the News-Press Wednesday. “We have worked very closely with them, and they will continue to be a valuable partner for us in making sure the public has access to vaccinations.

“The vaccine will continue to provide excellent protection against severe illness and hospitalization, especially with those who are at high risk,” he said. “Side effects are the same as for the original vaccine, which include: swelling and discomfort, and specific to males under 40, myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle).

“The benefits outweigh the risks,” Dr. Robertson told the News-Press.

Dr. Fisk spoke to concerns with the new bivalent vaccine.

“There are really no concerns unique to the reformulation.

It would be the same concerns that have been around with the vaccines as we know them to date,” he told the News-Press Wednesday. “It uses the same technology as the initial vaccine from Moderna and Pfizer.”

Added Dr. Robertson, “Because it is bivalent, it contains two strains of mRNA, one that codes for the original spike protein and one for omicron. It boosts the immune response to the more prevalent variant in the community.”

The News-Press asked Dr. Fisk about the advantages of the bivalent vaccine.

“The advantages are that it’s really the same vaccine,” Dr. Fisk

California lawmakers expand budget to help some out-of-state residents travel for abortions

A booster dose of the Moderna vaccine is readied for administration to a patient at Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital. Cottage Health hasn’t yet ordered the new bivalent version of the vaccine.

said. “It’s just a reformulation of the old vaccine. The advantages are significant in that the contents now trigger our immune system to target BA.5 and other related versions under the omicron umbrella.

“It’s much more specific to target omicron and other strains of the vaccine prevalent in the world right now. This new version of the vaccine is much more able to help our bodies protect themselves against BA.5 and other omicron relatives,” he said. “The vaccine is teaching your immune system; the immune system is protecting your body.

“The FDA hasn’t approved it,” Dr. Fisk said. “They have

endorsed it under the umbrella of the EUA, which is different from a full FDA approval.

“I think what’s important to realize is that we are in a situation now where most of us have waning immunity from prior vaccine doses and prior booster shots. Most of us are becoming more susceptible than we were. That is combined with the historical likelihood of COVID to surge in fall and winter months.

“This presents the prime opportunity for the new vaccine,” Dr. Fisk said. “We should certainly still view COVID as a major health risk.” email: kzehnder@newspress.com

(The Center Square) – California lawmakers could soon send a budget bill to Gov. Gavin Newsom that would allow the state’s abortion fund to assist some outof-state residents seeking abortion access in California.

The measure, contained in a health omnibus bill, would administer grants from the state’s Abortion Practical Support Fund to nonprofit organizations that specialize in assisting low-income abortion patients trying to obtain their services. The bill specifies that the funds can be used for certain expenses, including “practical support” services – defined in the bill as “financial or in-kind” assistance to help a patient obtain an abortion in California.

The budget trailer bill comes as California lawmakers and Gov. Newsom have vowed to expand abortion access as other states are increasing restrictions on abortion after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

If the bill is passed, California will spend some of the $20 million set aside in the state budget for the Abortion Practical Support Fund to help pregnant residents of other states pay for travel expenses to obtain an abortion in California. In the state budget signed by Gov. Newsom in June, money in the fund was restricted to help only California residents, not those traveling from other states, as previously reported by the Associated Press.

Fatality is second this week on local stretch of Hwy. 101 FATALITY

Continued from Page A1 ambulance company responded.

The pedestrian sustained major injuries and succumbed to them at the scene, the CHP reported. The driver of the big rig pulling a trailer did not sustain any injuries and was not suspected to be under the influence of alcohol

or drugs, the CHP said.

This crash is still under investigation.

Anyone with information is requested to contact the California Highway Patrol, Santa Barbara Area, Monday through Friday, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at 805-967-1234.

The fatality was the second local one this week on Highway 101. On Wednesday, a motorcyclist weaving in and out of all the lanes at a high rate of speed, died after he

collided with the left rear portion of a Honda CRV and was ejected and landed on the roadway.

That crash, which occurred in the northbound lanes south of Salinas Street in Santa Barbara, is also under investigation, and anyone with information is asked to contact the CHP. Again, the number is 805-967-1234. email:kzehnder@newspress.com

Some legislators vow to support future version of bill UNIONIZE

Continued from Page A2 Stone, issued a statement saying losing a bill during the final days of session when staff work “around the clock” is a “slap in their faces.”

“The message is clear. This committee trusts staff with shaping the laws that govern California, but not to bargain

for basic working conditions,” Assemblymember Stone said.

“While I won’t be returning next year, this issue isn’t going away.

The fight will continue and I am thankful to my colleagues who will carry the conversation forward.”

Assemblymember Stone initially introduced the bill in May by gutting and amending an existing Senate bill. During the committee meeting,

Assemblymember Cooper raised concern that the bill was not vetted properly. Assemblymember Stone, however, said in a statement that he attempted to reach out to Assemblymember Cooper several times since May, but the committee chair “refused to engage in discussions around his issues.”

Several lawmakers took to Twitter on Wednesday evening to express their disappointment

with the bill being killed, vowing to support a future version of the bill in coming legislative sessions.

“Our staff aren’t looking for special treatment. They’re looking for the same dignity and respect afforded to all represented workers,” Assemblymember Tina McKinnor tweeted. “This isn’t over. I’ll be back in December and will reintroduce this bill.”

Los Angeles deemed second most dangerous city NEW YORK

Continued from Page A5

federal immigration law, according to the Franklin County Law Library, located in Columbus, Ohio, which has implemented sanctuary city policies. Such communities generally refuse to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials to detain and remove aliens.

But these policies “only provide sanctuary to criminals, not to immigrant communities,” Tom Homan, IRLI senior fellow and former acting director of ICE said. “Immigrant communities don’t want criminals in their neighborhoods either. Victims and witnesses of crime don’t want the offender back in their communities to seek revenge. All communities deserve protection from criminals but sanctuary policies put immigrant communities at greater risk of crime.”

According to the report, New York City ranks as the most dangerous city because of its policies. It cites numerous examples, including city officials not complying with ICE subpoenas related to criminal aliens in New York City; city officials releasing more than 7,500 people onto the streets with murder and sex abuse convictions; and prohibiting residents from using the term, “illegal alien,” threatening them with fines up to $250,000.

Second most dangerous is Los Angeles, which has “become a safe haven for criminals of all stripes since District Attorney George Gascon was sworn into office in late 2020,” the report states. It points to county officials voting

in 2020 “to pay $14 million to illegal aliens who had previously been held in detention,” and to Mayor Eric Garcetti pledging to defy federal immigration authorities.

It also points to a report that found that in fiscal 2019, ICE sought “to arrest 11,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles, but only 5 percent were turned over;” and “84.2 percent of illegal aliens ICE sought to remove from California were allowed to stay.”

Chicago, the third most dangerous according to the report, “has become a lawless hellscape” under Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who’s “maintained its commitment to be a haven for criminal aliens seeking to avoid accountability from federal immigration laws,” the report states.

In 2020, Mayor Lightfoot signed an executive order making “illegal aliens eligible for all city benefits,” and a city ordinance prohibiting city officials “from cooperating with ICE to detain illegal aliens, even if the alien is in the city’s gang database or is facing criminal charges.”

In 2019, Cook County District Attorney Kimberly Foxx also hired an advisor to shield criminal aliens from deportation.

Requests for comment from the mayor’s offices in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago were not immediately returned.

Fifth-worst San Francisco dropped from its 2019 most dangerous city ranking, not because it improved, the report notes, but because “the cities above it have become comparatively worse.”

Prior to California becoming a “Sanctuary State” after the passing of SB 54, the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department refused to honor more than 530 federal immigration

hold requests, the report notes. Among them, 345 were classified as threat level 1 and 2 offenses, including espionage, terrorist threats, arson/incendiary devices, bombing offenses, homicide, kidnapping, sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault, sale and possession of drugs, money laundering, burglary, fraud and forgery.

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is from San Francisco, has previously pushed back against ICE deportations, asking, “In terms of interior enforcement, what is the purpose? What is the point?”

The point is national security, Gov. Abbott argues. More than 80 terrorists on the FBI’s Terrorist Watchlist “have been encountered along our southern border since President [Joe] Biden took office,” Gov. Abbott said. The watchlist is a federal database that compiles all known or suspected terrorists, most of whom aren’t U.S. citizens.

President Biden’s “refusal to secure the border is a direct threat to our national security,” Gov. Abbott said. “Texas is stepping up to protect Americans from these dangerous criminals.”

Since Gov. Abbott launched Texas’ border security effort, Operation Lone Star, law enforcement officials have apprehended more than 297,200 people who’ve illegally entered Texas, made more than 19,000 criminal arrests, more than 16,400 felony charges and seized more than 335.5 million lethal doses of fentanyl.

Texas has also bused nearly 10,000 people from the southern border to the sanctuary cities of New York City (1,500) and Washington, D.C. (7,400).

Vaccination clinic temporarily canceled LOMPOC — The weekly COVID-19 vaccination clinic at Lompoc Valley Medical Center is temporarily canceled due to the removal of authorization by the Food and Drug Administration for the current monovalent COVID-19 vaccines as booster doses for anyone 12 and older.

The Lompoc hospital will resume its public COVID-19 vaccination clinics when the proposed new bivalent vaccine is available and approved by the appropriate agencies. This is expected to occur by midSeptember.

The FDA has currently authorized emergency use of the bivalent COVID-19 vaccines or updated boosters.

When the FDA approved these new bivalent vaccines, it also modified the emergency use authorization to remove the monovalent mRNA Covid19 vaccines as booster doses for people 12 and older. The current monovalent COVID19 vaccines are currently only approved for primary series doses, but not as boosters.

At this time, the bivalent vaccine is only approved as a booster. So any adult starting a COVID-19 vaccination schedule will receive the original, monovalent COVID-19 vaccine for their initial two shots.

Appointments to receive vaccines or boosters at LVMC’s vaccination clinics may be made at myturn.ca.gov.

That changes, however, under updates made in the health omnibus bill. The updated language in the bill “provides flexibility to address issues of both in-state and out-of-state travel” to obtain an abortion, Department of Finance Spokesperson HD Palmer told The Center Square in an email.

“The intent of the updated language in the health trailer bill is not to restrict any services previously provided, but to broaden the types of services needed to support a woman’s right to choose, such as dependent childcare, translation services, travel assistance and other support services,” Mr. Palmer wrote.

On top of expanding the use of abortion funds for out-of-state travel, the health omnibus bill also authorizes the Department of Health Care Services to offer $1,000 retention payments to clinic workers in California, who often provide primary care and preventative care for low-income populations across the state.

The measure also eliminates copayments for the state’s 14 million Medi-Cal beneficiaries.

The bill is part of a 13-bill budget package lawmakers are aiming to pass by Wednesday’s legislative deadline. Senate lawmakers passed the 13 budget bills on Tuesday, sending them to the Assembly for final approval before they are sent to Gov. Newsom.

‘Art of the Burger’ Local woman takes top prize with Korean twist on a hamburger

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

W

ith her savory Spring Roll Bulgogi Burger, Emily Falke won first prize in the national Heinz “Art of the Burger” competition on Aug. 17.

In addition to a $25,000 check, she will have her winning burger featured in a limited time offer menu item at national burger restaurant locations determined by the sponsor.

Entrants were encouraged to use their imagination to create a burger in one of five categories — Maximalist, Minimalist, Sculptural, Classical, Experimental — or one of their own design.

“I entered recipes in several categories of the contest, which combined professional and amateur chefs. I chose to enter the winning recipe in the Experimental Category because it was a lot about the art of the food and plays to my first love of art,” Ms. Falke told the News-Press.

“My cooking often features East and West Coast influences, combines Asian and Mexican elements, incorporates elements of French cooking and is based on local farm fresh produce.”

Her Spring Roll Bulgogi Burger entry also required that she describe her dish in a maximum of 50 words and give a name for the burger, not to exceed 10 words: “This experimental masterpiece combines a sirloin

burger glazed and slathered with Heinz BBQ Sauce with ginger, garlic and Korean pepper paste on a bed of radicchio and topped with cucumber, jalapeño, a

vegetable spring roll, sprinkled with sesame seeds and drizzled with kimchi Heinz Mayonnaise on an artisanal bun.”

Bulgogi is a Korean dish that

literally means fire meat.

The contest, which began May 23 and ended July 12, included the following restrictions: — The burger must include at least one sauce.

— The burger must have buns or bun-like enclosures.

— The burger must include a patty.

— The burger must be eaten with your hands.

— The burger must stand on its own.

— The burger must be edible.

— The burger must be your original work.

“Presentation was key. I had to capture the burger’s essence up close and in focus, and the sauce had to be central to the burger’s theme,” said Ms. Falke, who was introduced to French cooking by her mother who gave her free reign in the kitchen by the time

she was 8. “Along with my brother and sister, I experimented with recipes, and by the time I was in junior high school, I was named a Los Angeles County star student and received home economics awards.”

“I got into contesting in 2008 when I entered a cooking contest at Urners Appliances in Bakersfield, where I lived at that time.

“There was an ad in the Bakersfield Californian for a call for recipes for a planned cook off.

“I entered on a whim and won a refrigerator, and since my refrigerator at the time was old and leaking, I felt like ‘Queen For A Day,’ a TV show my mother watched when I was a child, when I won.

“The rest is history … I got the competitive cooking bug.”

Her halibut with coriander and lobster sauce, a family favorite with East-meets-West influences, was among the top three contestants.

“More than 200 people came to see the finalists prepare our recipes. I laid out my work station with an eye to beauty and won appliances and a rental,” said Ms. Falke, who was born in Connecticut and grew up there and in Claremont before earning her bachelor’s degree in art at UCLA and her secondary teaching credential in art at California State University Bakersfield.

She was the art teacher at Friends School and St. John’s Lutheran School, both in

Bakersfield, before becoming the director of education and operations, as well as curator and director of development at the Bakersfield Museum of Art. In 2010, Ms. Falke moved to Santa Barbara and became the director of education, then curator and deputy director, and now director of collections and exhibits at the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum.

In September 2019, she organized a teen cook-off at the Maritime Museum between two teenage TV chefs.

“After I came to Santa Barbara, I entered the Santa Barbara Independent’s Sizzling BBQ contest for three years.

“I entered the Gilroy Garlic contest twice and won the Pullman, Wash., Lentil Festival twice before joining a group of people who follow contests, encouraged me and helped me find appropriate contests,” she said.

“Now, with a large following of supporters, I enter a variety of contests with many different kinds of recipes and foods, sweet and savory, fruits, vegetables, starters and entrees,” said Ms. Falke, “and I continue to find ways every day to combine my love of art, curating exhibits and cooking for friends and family.”

When asked what she will do with the prize money, Ms. Falke said, “I have a lot of ideas, but I’m still deciding.” email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum has announced that the Girls in Ocean Science Conference, returning for its second year, has been expanded to two days of programming.

The conference is scheduled for Oct. 1 for students in grades 6-8 and Oct. 2 for those in grades 9-12 at the museum, 113 Harbor Way, Santa Barbara.

Program activities will take place from 9 a.m.- 3 p.m. each day.

This hands-on event will connect leading female scientists with up to

40 junior high school students and up to 48 senior high school students and is made possible by the Steinmetz Family Foundation.

Since women continue to be the minority in many fields of science, the conference and speakers will be encouraging these young women to

consider pursuing science-based fields, including maritime studies.

During the conference, female experts will share their lives, careers and interests with the students.

Conference cost is $20 for museum members and $30 for nonmembers.

Scholarships are available. To apply for a scholarship, go to sbmm.org/ girls-in-ocean-science-scholarshipapplication-2. For more information, go to sbmm.org or contact Education Director Lis Perry at lperry@sbmm.org or 805-456-8741 email: kzehnder@newspress.com

“Prayer Flags and A Tale of Longing,” an exhibition by Mary Heebner, will be on view from Sept. 10 through Nov. 5 at the Architectural Foundation of Santa Barbara, 229 E. Victoria St. An opening reception will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Sept. 9. All are welcome.

This exhibition is threefold. It consists of Ms. Heebner’s two-sided Prayer Flags; a spiral-bound artist’s book, “A Tale of Longing,” and a booklet, “Elemental Offerings” — all originating with Ms. Heebner’s travels to Rumtek Monastery in Sikkim, India, to see how prayer flags were made.

As Ms. Heebner notes, “Our current era of planetary distress, combined with a desire for healing, compelled me to write invocations to each of the life-sustaining elements: Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Aether, inspired by traditional Tibetan prayer flags as I understand them.”

The artist’s book, “Prayer Flags and A Tale of Longing,” which reflects Ms. Heebner’s travels, is handwritten in cursive and printed letterpress and has hand-painted, foil-stamped covers. The “Tales” accompanying Prayer Flags are presented together as a set in a ribboned cotton pouch inside an acrylic sleeve.

Ms. Heebner’s handwritten Prayer Flags alternate with a lotus image stamped on Nepalese paper, and on the verso, ink-printed icons representing the five elements.

The booklet, “Elemental Offerings,” contains Ms. Heebner’s five prayers to the elements, printed digitally, accompanied by a colorful set of five cotton flags and placed in a cotton pouch.

“Travel increases my humanity,” Ms. Heebner explained. “It makes me take risks and undermines my fears and prejudices. My intent has always been

to form bridges between people, and subsequently between words and images, to best convey the heart of any story, finding a form that is honest, well-crafted and compelling.

“The aim is to make that initial spark of inspiration grow into something physical, an object that can be held, touched, shared with others. It seemed natural to pair the journal notes and sketches I make while on the road with my studio practice.”

Ms. Heebner has distinguished herself in Santa Barbara and beyond as a multimedia artist, published writer and book artist. Her artworks are held in numerous public and private collections, including the Santa Barbara and San Francisco Museums of Art, the Library of Congress, National Gallery of Art, the New York Public Library, and UCSB’s Art, Design & Architecture Museum and its Special Collections Library.

In addition to her fine art practice, Ms. Heebner has editioned 20 artists’ books under the imprint, simplemente maria press, in addition to other publications.

She earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees at UCSB and has long been a noted member of Santa Barbara’s art community. email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

Six graduate students, three faculty members and one staff member from UCSB have received Fulbright Awards from the State Department and the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board to conduct research and/or teach abroad for the upcoming school year.

The highly competitive fellowship is designed to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries.

Students are selected for Fulbright Fellowships on the basis of their academic and professional achievements, as well as their record of service and leadership potential in their respective fields.

“Every year the Graduate Division, along with the Office of Undergraduate Education and faculty reviewers from across campus, support applicants to the Fulbright U.S.

Student Program who seek to do research, teach or study for a year in places all over the globe,” Shawn Warner, Graduate Division’s director of professional development, said in a news release.

“We are so excited that over a third of our campus’ 15 applicants to the program for the upcoming year were selected as awardees,” the director said.

“These six students will spend the upcoming academic year carrying out their projects in five different countries, all while supporting the Fulbright mission of cultural exchange and ambassadorship.”

The winning fellows, their departments, projects and host countries are: Clara Bailey in chemistry and biochemistry, “Engineered Microbiomes for Soil Pollutant Remediation” in Switzerland; Sabra Harris in East Asian language and cultural studies, “Emergent Indigeneities within Public-Facing Ainu Performance” in Japan; Johanna Krukowski

in theater and dance, “Spectral Frequencies: Recovering the Lost History of Australian Horror Radio” in Australia; Jackson Stephenson in religious studies, “The Afterlife of Indian Esoteric Buddhist Poetry” in India; Felicity Stone-Richards in political science, “The Search for Acknowledgment: Anti-Racist and Pro-Immigration Praxis in Japan” in Japan and Kira Weiss in Music, “A Contested Symbol with a Dynamic Voice: The Cello and Egyptian Cultural Policy” in Egypt.

In addition, there are the three faculty members and one UCSB staff member who have received Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program awards: Professor Paul Amar, global studies in Brazil; Associate Professor William Elison, religious studies in India; Professor Paul Leonardi, technology management in Austria and Regional Adviser Megan Pankratz, the Education Abroad program in Korea. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

Thought for Today

By FRANK STEWART Tribune Content Agency

Friday, September 2, 2022

“Pretty soon,” Alice said to the Dormouse as the players at the Mad Hatter’s took a tea break, “they’ll be throwing their tiaras at each other.”

The two Red Queens, who were kibitzers, had continued to bicker about who was greater: The Queen of Hearts blustered that no ace or king dared capture her; the Queen of Diamonds insisted that losing a trick could be better than winning one.

When Alice was declarer at today’s 3NT, West, the March Hare, led the seven of spades. Alice put up dummy’s king, winning, and saw that she had to set up the diamonds without letting East get in for a spade return.

opens one spade, you respond two diamonds and he bids two hearts.

What do you say?

ANSWER: No ideal call is available. A rebid of three diamonds would not be forcing (perhaps not even in a style where two diamonds was game-forcing). Some players might support the spades or try a “fourth-suit” bid of three clubs. Since the hand seems well oriented to a heart contract, raise to three hearts.

EXTRA CHANCE Alice could have led the A-K and a third diamond, hoping West would win. But for a slight extra chance — and in deference to the Queen of Diamonds — she led a heart to her hand and returned the deuce of diamonds. When the Hare played the queen, Alice played low from dummy and was safe for 10 tricks.

“Well done, child,” the Queen of Diamonds said smugly. “Point to me!”

Q

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.

waiting to talk with someone.

LIBRA: Emotions could be intense at work today as important projects approach their deadlines, Libra. You may put in more time than usual.

Tempers might flare and coworkers clash, so stay calm and keep going. On the positive side, the financial and recognition payoffs for whatever you accomplish today should prove well worth the effort.

SCORPIO: Today you should feel especially sexy and relationships with romantic partners should go well, Scorpio.

Your passions are intense, the lines of communication are open, and appreciation of one another is running high. There might be talk of taking a long trip together in the future.

SAGITTARIUS: Money is probably on your mind now, Sagittarius. A desire for increased financial security could force you to look for work or investments that would pay off big. Opportunities for one or both of these are likely to come through friends, perhaps someone with whom you’ve worked before. You’re likely to accomplish what you want for now, but it’s uncertain whether you’ll continue on this path in the future.

CAPRICORN: Don’t expect to spend a lot of time at home today, Capricorn. You’re more likely to be in the car and away from home. There may be errands and other obligations to fulfill. Try to pace yourself in whatever you do or else you might be exhausted by day’s end. Take the time to stop and enjoy yourself. This will ensure a fun rather than tiring day.

AQUARIUS: Emotional turmoil on the job could stress you out way too much.

Headaches or temporary hypertension could plague you if you aren’t careful. Don’t push too hard. Remember to take breaks, Aquarius, and go for a walk on your lunch hour. Don’t be afraid to put off nonessential tasks.

You’ll be all right. Why make a day’s work any more difficult than it needs to be?

PISCES: This should be a fortunate day for you, Pisces.

Everything you try to do should go fairly smoothly. Relations with others are warm, friendly and congenial. Any chores or other pending work should be completed quickly.

HOROSCOPE ARIES: A couple you’ve known for a long time could visit you at your home today, Aries.

Don’t be surprised if they tell you how wonderful the place looks.

Conversation should be lively and entertaining, though you should sidestep any discussion of controversial subjects. Debates on such matters could get rather heated. It might be wise to treat your guests to food rather than alcohol!

TAURUS: Today, Taurus, you might spend a great deal of time in the car running errands in the neighborhood. You’re likely to see people you know who have interesting news. New businesses may open nearby.

Doctors, dentists, and other professionals could add virtual consultations, making your daily routine more convenient. Some of them might be your neighbors or relatives.

GEMINI: Money that you’ve been earning for a long time may finally come your way today, Gemini, but don’t be surprised if you have to do a lot of running around in order to get it. Plans for future money-making projects could come up, although it’s important to consider everything carefully and not jump in too quickly.

CANCER: The special someone in your life may be having some trouble with colleagues. Don’t just comfort him or her, Cancer. It’s unlikely that your sweetie wants sympathy. Solutions are needed.

If you don’t have any, just be a good listener. It’s important for you to get out and exercise.

LEO: Today you’re likely to be working hard behind the scenes, perhaps preparing a project for others to make public or coaching people for some kind of virtual performance. You’ll expend a lot of energy in the course of completing this chore, yet you’ll probably feel it was all worth it. Don’t expect to go home early, Leo. VIRGO: Friends could entice you to join them for a short day trip, perhaps to the country.

This is a great day to go on such an outing if it’s possible, Virgo.

You’ve probably been working hard and need to get away for a while. Don’t be surprised if there’s a delay, however. You or one of your friends could be

The court may decide against you without your being heard unless you respond within 30 days. Read the information below.

You have 30 CALENDAR DAYS after this summons and legal papers are served on you to file a written response at this court and have a copy served on the plaintiff.

A letter or phone call will not protect you. Your written response must be in proper legal form if you want the court to hear your case.

There may be a court form that you can use for your response.

You can find these court forms and more information at the California Courts Online Self-Help Center (www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp), your county law library, or the courthouse nearest you. If you cannot pay the filing fee, ask the court clerk for a fee waiver form.

If you do not file your response on time, you may lose the case by default, and your wages, money, and property may be taken without further warning from the court.

There are other legal requirements.

You may want to call an attorney right away. If you do not know an attorney, you may want to call an attorney referral service. If you cannot afford an attorney, you may be eligible for free legal services from a nonprofit legal services program. You can locate these nonprofit groups at the California Legal Services Web site (www.lawhelpcalifornia. org), the California Courts Online Self-Help Center (www.courtinfo. ca.gov/selfhelp), or by contacting your local court or county bar association. NOTE: The court has a statutory lien for waived fees and costs on any settlement or arbitration award of $10,000 or more in a civil case. The court’s lien must be paid before the court will dismiss the case. ¡AVISO! Lo han demandado. Si no responde dentro de 30 días, la corte puede decidir en su contra sin escuchar su versión. Lea la información a continuación.

Tiene 30 DÍAS DE CALENDARIO después de que le entreguen esta citación y papeles legales para presentar una respuesta por escrito en esta corte y hacer que se entregue una copia al demandante.

Una carta o una llamada telefónica no lo protegen. Su respuesta por escrito tiene que estar en formato legal correcto si desea que procesen su caso en la corte. Es posible que haya un formulario que usted pueda usar para su respuesta.

Puede encontrar estos formularios de la corte y más información en el Centro de Ayuda de las Cortes de California (www.sucorte.ca.gov), en la biblioteca de leyes de su condado o en la corte que le quede más cerca. Si no puede pagar la cuota de presentación, pida al secretario de la corte que le dé un formulario de exención de pago de cuotas. Si no presenta su respuesta a tiempo, puede perder el caso por incumplimiento y la corte le podrá quitar su sueldo, dinero y bienes sin más advertencia.

Hay otros requisitos legales. Es recomendable que llame a un abogado inmediatamente.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 096387-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 096387-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND PENDING ACTION BY THE DIRECTOR OF THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT TO: (1) WAIVE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON A COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT THAT MAY BE APPEALED TO THE CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION AND (2) APPROVE, CONDITIONALLY APPROVE, OR DENY THE COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT

This may affect your property. Please read.

Notice is hereby given that an application for the project described below has been submitted to the Santa Barbara County Planning and Development Department. This project requires the approval and issuance of a Coastal Development Permit by the Planning and Development Department.

The development requested by this application is subject to appeal to the California Coastal Commission following final action by Santa Barbara County and therefore a public hearing on the application is normally required prior to any action to approve, conditionally approve or deny the application. However, in compliance with California Coastal Act Section 30624.9, the Director has determined that this project qualifies as minor development and therefore intends to waive the public hearing requirement unless a written request for such hearing is submitted by an interested party to the Planning and Development Department within the 15 working days following the Date of Notice listed below. All requests for a hearing must be submitted no later than 5:00 p.m. on the Request for Hearing Expiration Date listed below, to Kathleen Volpi at Planning and Development, 123 E. Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara 93101-2058, by email at volpik@countyofsb.org, or by fax at (805) 568-2030. If a public hearing is requested, notice of such a hearing will be provided.

WARNING: Failure by a person to request a public hearing may result in the loss of the person’s ability to appeal any action taken by Santa Barbara County on this Coastal Development Permit to the County Planning Commission or Board of Supervisors and ultimately the California Coastal Commission.

If a request for public hearing is not received by 5:00 p.m. on the Request for Hearing Expiration Date listed below, then the Planning and Development Department will act to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the request for a Coastal Development Permit. At this time it is not known when this action may occur; however, this may be the only notice you receive for this project. To receive additional information regarding this project, including the date the Coastal Development Permit is approved, and/or to view the application and plans, or to provide comments on the project, please contact Kathleen Volpi at Planning and Development, 123 E. Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara 931012058, or by email at volpik@countyofsb.org, or by phone at (805) 568-2033.
