FAA approves plan Santa Barbara Airport to rename taxiways, add $3.5 million in improvements

Board of Supervisors to review $1.4B budget Workshops planned for this week By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Officials at Santa Barbara Airport are finalizing a design plan for its taxiways. The project includes renaming them and adding improvements such as LED lights.

By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara Airport is forging ahead with its plans to update its taxiway designations to comply with Federal Aviation Administration regulations. The renaming plan has been approved by the FAA, a spokesperson for the federal agency, told the News-Press. Now airport officials are finalizing the design plan and are slated to begin construction in 2023. The crux of the project is standardizing the airport’s taxiway nomenclatures — something the FAA has required of all airports. And not only will Santa Barbara Airport rename its taxiways to make them more uniform, the renaming will also make intersecting taxiways less confusing for pilots, Bradley Klinzing, a supervising engineer for Santa Barbara, told the News-Press. Mr. Klinzing noted current taxiway designations could confuse new pilots as to which way to turn to get to the terminal. The renaming will re-designate the intersecting taxiways so it’s clearer which way to turn. “It can be confusing to a pilot who is landing here who has not operated at our airfields much in the past,” Mr. Klinzing said. “We’re just trying to simplify it for the pilots so there’s less incursions or safety issues.” “Knowing that the pilots won’t have as many decisions to make out there — it’s simpler and safer — I think that’s a win-win,” he continued. Aside from the renaming, the project will update to signage and pavement markings and a switch to LED lighting, which is expected to cut energy and maintenance costs. In total, the construction is expected to total $3.5 million, officials said. As it is an FAA-eligible project, the federal agency will cover about 90% of the costs with the airport on the hook for the rest. Construction will not begin until 2023 and will take place on various dates between midnight and 5 a.m. Airport officials are wrapping up the design plan, which includes construction documents and a schedule for phasing the construction. “We can’t just say, ‘Here’s the airfield. Have at it.’ They need to break it up into little segments that are manageable for them to complete,” Mr. Klinzing said. For example, the first phase is expected just to tackle the runway and its signage and pavement markets. The next phase will handle needed improvements with Taxiway Alpha and so on. Some designations are expected to remain the same, including Taxiway Alpha and Taxiway Charlie. The airport is working on a nighttime remediation project to remove contaminated soil from a 2019 crash. This undertaking is expected to last until early June. email: kschallhorn@newspress.com

The Santa Barbara City Council is slated to approve the redistricting map at its weekly agenda meeting Tuesday. The Santa Barbara Independent Redistricting Commission chose a map late last month with updated boundaries for each of the five districts, which elect members of the city council. Under this new plan, District 1 is focused on the Eastside community but does have a presence on State Street and East Beach, including the Funk Zone. District 2 includes the Mesa and keeps all of West Beach. That district extends east of Modoc Road. District 3 includes the Westside as well as La Cumbre

Junior High School and the Westside Neighborhood Center. District 4 includes a small coastal presence and is centered on the Riviera. District 5 also has a small coastal presence but remains largely in the upper State Street area and includes the airport. District 6 includes the downtown area without crossing the freeway. District 1 has a Latino citizen voting-age population (CVAP) of 50.4% whereas District 3 has a Latino CVAP of 43.4%. The minority CVAP for District 3 is 50%. The map chosen has a population deviation of 7.4%. (Population deviation refers to the difference in population sizes among districts; the current Please see COUNCIL on A2

The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors will hold a series of budget workshops this week — and preliminary estimates are looking positive. The county budget for fiscal year 2022-2023 is estimated to be $1.4 billion. And this will be the fourth consecutive year that no county departments will need to propose a service level reduction. Budget workshops generally occur about one month before the release of the recommended budget and two months before budget hearings. “Budget workshops are an opportunity to collaboratively craft a plan to create and sustain services critical to those we serve and also reimagine the possibilities of the future,” Chair Joan Hartmann told the NewsPress. “I am very proud of the Board of Supervisors’ history of strong fiscal management, which has provided the county with the ability to continue critical services and also advance priorities to meet the emerging needs of our communities and forge a stable and hopeful future.” Final budget decisions will

be made on June 14-15 with the board slated to hold adoption hearings. The budget has a threepronged goal of resetting how work is handled through new technologies and hybrid teams; reimagining a more inclusive and equitable future that includes health, safety and combating climate change; and reconnecting with community members, residents and other individuals in the post-pandemic environment, according to the memo. The general fund contribution costs will increase by $15.3 million to cover salary and benefits, operational changes, and other board policies, according to the memo. “The County’s stable fiscal outlook results from strong fiscal management and prudent budgetary practices forged by the Board to promote resiliency and ensure future stability,” said a memo to the board regarding the budget. “The preliminary budget is balanced through careful consideration of Board policies and commitments, service level impacts and longterm sustainability.” Today the board will review departmental budgets from Please see BOARD on A2

California local governments lost $20 million operating golf courses in fiscal 2020, per report By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – About two dozen golf courses run by local governments in California lost money in fiscal year 2020. According to a new report from the Reason Foundation, three lost more than $2 million. The report reviewed financial statements from 221 local governments, indicating that they ran golf courses on their 2020 financial reports. Of those, 155 lost money operating those courses in the 2020 fiscal year, losing $61 million in taxpayer funds. The report notes that the 221 courses identified in municipal financial statements are just a “subset” of all local government-owned courses. California’s Indian Wells Golf Resort, which is owned by the

city of Indian Wells, had the most significant operating loss reported at over $4 million. Two other local government-run golf courses in Carlsbad and Dinuba saw losses of more than $2 million in 2020, according to the report. “Obviously, the extent of COVID19-related lockdowns likely played a role in the 2020 financial results of many courses, particularly in California, Hawaii, and other states with strict or long shutdowns,” Marc Joffe, Reason Foundation Senior Policy Analyst, said. Mr. Joffe told The Center Square that local governments he observed in California ended their fiscal years on June 30, 2020. Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered business closures in mid-March 2020. While many courses closed, counties began allowing courses to reopen in April with restrictions on

carts and indoor dining. With many other activities canceled, the National Golf Foundation reported the largest net increase in golfers in 17 years. The report showed 24 golf courses in California reported losses during fiscal year 2020, including a course in Bell Gardens, CA, that reported more than $139,000 in losses. Assemblymember Cristina Garcia represents that district and recently introduced a bill that would provide grants to local governments to convert municipally-owned golf courses into a combination of affordable housing and publiclyaccessible open space. Ms. Garcia told The Center Square that the report from the Reason Foundation begs the question for local governments – “is this golf course the best use of

our tax dollars?” Under Ms. Garcia’s bill, local governments would be eligible for grants to turn golf courses into housing and open space if at least 25% of the new units were affordable housing, 15% of the land was publicly-accessible open space, and no more than onethird of the square footage of the development was “nonresidential use,” such as parking lots. Ms. Garcia noted there are at least seven municipal golf courses within an eight-mile radius of her house in southeast Los Angeles County, a region she says lacks open space but has many contaminated properties. Ms. Garcia told lawmakers last month that, in dense communities like her own, offering incentives to governments who want to convert their golf courses could be another

tool for the state to address the affordable housing shortage. The bill received pushback from members of several golf associations during a March hearing. They said the bill “singles out” golf from the family of park and recreation sports. Nick Bailey, vice president of the Northern California PGA section, spoke on behalf of the California Alliance for Golf during a hearing last month. He said the bill would reduce green space in communities that already lack it and “excommunicate golf from the park and recreation family.” In response to this opposition, Ms. Garcia said the bill is meant to spur conversations among local governments and taxpayers to decide whether or not to continue subsidizing golf courses or repurpose the spaces to meet

other needs in the community. Under her legislation, no local government would be required to convert golf courses into housing, and she recognizes that the bill “is not for everybody.” She also noted that golf courses tend to take up significantly more space than other sports. According to Ms. Garcia, 43 baseball fields, 91 football fields, or 2,000 tennis courts are the equivalent of one golf course in her district. On Wednesday, Ms. Garcia’s bill was expected to be heard in the Assembly Local Government Committee, but the bill was postponed. If it advances, it will go to the Assembly Appropriations Committee, where a similar measure introduced by Ms. Garcia died during the last legislative session.

UCSB baseball holds off CSUN to take series By DANIEL MOEBUS-BOWLES UCSB SPORTS WRITER

No. 24 UCSB Baseball (20-8, 9-2) held off CSUN (1513, 4-7) in game two of its series at Matador Field to earn the 9-7 win and take the series. Mike Gutierrez (5-1) earned the start and the win for the Gauchos, tossing 6.2 innings. He allowed four earned on four hits and five walks while striking out six. Brady Huddleston entered in the eighth and tossed 1.2 innings to earn the five-out save, the first collegiate save of the freshman’s career. Jordan Sprinkle was productive hitting in the ninth spot for the Gauchos, turning the lineup over with a 2-for-3 performance that included a home run, three RBIs, and a walk. The hot bat of Bryce Willits picked up a pair of hits, as did Kyle Johnson who had a double and an RBI. Nick Vogt added two RBIs of his own. Christian Kirtley has now reached base safely in 16 straight games, Willits has in 14, and Johnson extended his hit streak to 10-straight. The Gauchos got it going first in game two, putting a three-spot up in the top of the second. Nick Vogt got aboard with a leadoff walk and promptly made his way to second on a Matador error. With one out, John Newman Jr. stepped in, singling up the middle as he has done so many times this season to give UCSB the 1-0 lead. Then it was Sprinkle’s turn and the shortstop wasted no time extending the Gaucho lead to 3-0 with a jack over the wall in left field, his third of the year.

UCSB broke the game wide open in the third as seven of the first eight batters in the inning reached base safely. Vogt came to the plate with the bases loaded and no outs and roped a double to right center to score a pair. A Matador error brought another in as Newman Jr. reached, and the next batter was Jason Willow, who made it a 7-0 ball game with a single through the left side that scored Vogt. CSUN scored its first runs in the game bringing one across in both the third and fourth to cut the lead to 7-2, but Sprinkle got one back in the fifth, collecting an RBI single to right field. With their backs against the wall, the Matadors did what they had to, scoring five runs over the next three innings to make it a one-run game at 8-7. With one out in the bottom of the eighth, Huddleston entered the game and got out of the jam as he and Newman Jr. teamed up for the strikeout-throwout double play to end the inning. Johnson lined a double down the opposite field line to score Kirtley in the top of the ninth to conclude the scoring efforts in the game. Huddleston went 1-2-3 in the ninth to pick up the save. UCSB Will look to sweep the series at Matador Field tomorrow in game three. First pitch is set for 1 p.m. in Northridge as Ryan Gallagher is expected to take the bump to start.

UCSB softball falls to CSU Bakersfield in doubleheader By BRITT CALVILLO UCSB SPORTS WRITER

Closing its third home series of the season in a Saturday doubleheader against CSU Bakersfield, the UC Santa Barbara softball team was defeated in both games, 8-4 and 5-1.

Game 1 Madelyn McNally went 2-for-3 at the plate, including an RBI triple to kick off the Gaucho offense. Both Sam Denehy and Teah Thies collected their second double of the season. Denehy also registered the fifth RBI of her junior campaign. Ashley Donaldson contributed to the Gauchos’ eight-hit game, picking up her 19th of the season. Lexy Mills has become an impactful offensive player for the Gauchos, notching her ninth RBI. The Roadrunners exploded to start the game, tallying seven of their eight runs in the first inning. However, of those seven runs only one was earned. The Gauchos got baserunners aboard in six of seven innings, but left six runners stranded. UCSB had their best offense in

the bottom of the third starting off with Thies’ double into right field. McNally’s triple would come next, bringing Thies across the plate and putting the Gauchos on the board. With McNally in scoring position, Denehy hit a perfect RBI double down the right field line. Maci Fines advanced Denehy with a successful sacrifice bunt before getting out at first. Denehy was then brought home by Mills’ RBI single through the right side. Korie Thomas hit a single but was able to advance to second due to an error by the Roadrunners’ catcher which also allowed Mills to score a run, cutting Bakersfield’s lead in half. Unfortunately, this was the last run the Gauchos would see in the game while the Roadrunners collected one more in the top of the fifth, making the final score 84 in favor of Bakersfield.

Game 2 Madelyn McNally extended her hit-streak to 11-straight - six of which were multi-hit efforts. Sam Denehy went 2-for-3 in the second game and also recorded her fourth stolen base of the season.

Gauchos earn two shutouts in final home tennis matches By DANIEL MESSINGER UCSB SPORTS WRITER

The UCSB women’s tennis team beat both UC Riverside and CSU Northridge 4-0 in a Saturday doubleheader at the Arnhold Tennis Center. The matches, the final two at home this season, marked the Gauchos’ (13-6, 5-0) third and fourth consecutive victories and the team has won eight of their last nine.

Match 1 Against Riverside, UCSB wrapped things up quickly. In doubles, Camille Kiss and Marta Gonzalez Ballbe blanked Natalie Shamma and Niki Shahbazi 6-0 on court two. The No. 83-ranked duo of Shakhnoza Khatamova and Elizaveta Volodko clinched the doubles point for Santa Barbara with a 6-2 win over Mahli Silpachai and Hanh Pham on court one. Amelia Honer completed a perfect 6-0, 60 victory over Serina Saltzen on court four before Priscila Janikian beat Niki Shahbazi Please see TENNIS on A4

Lexy Mills now has three consecutive games with an RBI, collecting her tenth in the final game of the series. Korie Thomas and Teah Thies each collected a single, putting them both at 21 hits on the season. The Gauchos were the ones to open the scoring for the rubber match, collecting a run after Mills put up a sacrifice fly that advanced Fines to third and brought McNally home. Unfortunately, this would turn out to be Santa Barbara’s sole run of the game. Junior pitcher Lexy Mills received the loss for the series finale after tossing a full seven innings. Despite striking out eight Roadrunners, Mills allowed five runs on eight hits, leaving the final score 5-1 as Bakersfield took the series. The Gauchos head south this upcoming weekend for a threegame series with Long Beach State that begins on Friday. First pitch is set for 1 PM at LBSU Softball Complex.

UCSB goes the distance in five-set defeat at Hawaii By MICHAEL JORGENSON UCSB SPORTS WRITER

The No. 5 UCSB men’s volleyball team put up a bigger fight in Saturday’s rematch at No. 4 Hawaii, but couldn’t close out a 2-1 lead, falling 19-25, 25-20, 24-26, 25-18, 15-10. The Gauchos are now 16-8 overall and 54 in Big West play. The Rainbow Warriors improve to 20-5 overall, 5-3 conference. It was a career all-around night for opposite Haotian Xia, who totaled 28 points, four more than any other Gaucho has had in any match this season. The junior led all players tying a personal-best with 21 kills on an incredibly efficient .447 hitting percentage. He also served up a Gaucho season-high six aces – tripling his previous career-best – while totaling two blocks for the fifth straight match. Junior outside hitter Ryan Wilcox finished with 15 kills (.178) for the second straight night, had two aces of his own, and recorded his second double-double of the year with 10 digs. As a team, the Gauchos had a 9-7 edge in

aces, their most against a ranked opponent this year. However, their four team blocks were tied for their second-fewest of the year as Hawaii hit .387 as a team. Sophomore outside hitter Dayne Chalmers set a new career-high with a team-leading 14 digs, also totaling 13 kills (.333) for his first ever double-double. For the first time this year, the Gauchos had three players with a double-double, the last being sophomore setter Patrick Paragas who tied his personal-high of 54 assists to go with 11 digs. Middle blockers Donovan Todorov and Brandon Hicks were active on both sides of the ball as usual, posting eight kills and two blocks apiece. After narrowly dropping the last two sets in Friday’s sweep, the Gauchos started strong and ended the opening set on a 8-3 run to take the early lead. UCSB’s top hitters came out on fire, as Wilcox went for six kills (.455) and Xia had five (.625). The Gauchos outhit Hawaii .500 to .312. Hawaii responded the way it needed

to in set two, but couldn’t pull away. The Gauchos kept it within striking distance and eventually tied it at 19-19 as Wilcox set up Xia for a game-tying kill. Unfortunately for UCSB, the Bows closed the set on a 6-1 run as Dimitrios Mouchlias put it away with an ace. Xia hit at a .500 clip for the second straight game with six kills, but Santa Barbara’s hitting was held to .219 as Hawaii’s defense started making plays. Xia continued to dominate in set three, going a blistering 7-for-8 (.875) on his attacks as he helped UCSB overcome an early three-point deficit. The Gauchos took their largest lead of the night 21-17 on a Xia kill. Todorov put one away to give the Gauchos a 23-20 advantage, but Hawaii scored three straight to tie it 2323. UCSB couldn’t put away its first set point opportunity, but would take a 2-1 lead on a game-sealing block by Hicks and Xia. The fourth set was extremely close, with neither team taking more than a two-point

Gauchos to end season on road

lead until late on. After going down 12-10 on a Wilcox putaway, the Bows turned it on and would take a 19-15 lead. The Rainbow Warriors went on to win the set by the largest margin of the night on a Gaucho service error. Kills by Wilcox and Hicks gave USCB two separate two-point leads early on in the decisive fifth set. However, Hawaii would hold UCSB to a .000 hitting percentage as it pulled away in the most crucial part of the set. The Bows ended the match on a 5-1 run, with Mouchlias scoring the final kill to end the night. The Gauchos have two more regular season contests ahead of them, both on the road. They will face Concordia (Calif.) on Friday, Apr. 15 before closing the regular season out at UC San Diego the following night.

Facing No. 12 UC San Diego in its final home game at Campus Pool on Saturday, the No. 17 UCSB women’s water polo team fell behind early and couldn’t find the way back in a 10-6 defeat. With one game left in the regular season, the Gauchos are now 1111 overall and 1-4 in Big West play. The Tritons improve to 18-9 overall and 3-2 in the conference.

UCSD came out hot with a fivegoal first quarter. The Tritons led 2-0 before Claire Kelly put the Gauchos on the board with her lone score of the day. The visitors responded with another goal 10 seconds later and took a 5-1 lead into the second. The Triton lead became 6-1 with 6:36 to go in the opening half, but Leigh Lyter scored two straight in quick succession to try and close the gap. Caitlyn Snyder scored on a power play with seven seconds

left before the break to send the Gauchos into halftime down 7-4. The second half started the way the first half ended, with Snyder finding the back of the net to make it a 7-5 game at the 5:37 mark of the third. However, UCSD’s defense tightened up from there, allowing just one UCSB goal the rest of the way. UCSD ended the third quarter on a 3-0 run, going up 10-5 to seal the deal. The only goal of the fourth quarter came from Aidan

Flynn with 6:40 to go. Freshman goalkeeper Taylor McEvilly played the entire second half, allowing just three Triton goals while posting three saves and three steals. Lyter finished with two goals for the first time since the Gauchos last faced the Tritons In their final game at the Barbara Kalbus Invitational, when she scored four times. It was the 13th multi-goal performance of the year for the Manhattan Beach, Calif. native.

Westmont tennis blanks Mariners to end regular season By JACOB NORLING WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

Westmont Men’s and Women’s Tennis hosted the Mariners of Marymount in Santa Barbara on Saturday and both Warrior clubs came away with convincing wins. On the women’s side of things, the Warriors (8-10, 6-2 GSAC) defeated the Mariners 4-0, and on the men’s side, the Warriors (6-9, 6-2 GSAC) blanked Marymount 5-0. In the late morning the Westmont and Marymount women kicked off the day with doubles, and the Mariners challenged the Warriors quickly with a 6-0 win on court one. Then, the Warriors responded with 7-5 and 6-3 wins on court two. The highlight of doubles play came on court two, where Emily Peterson and Francesca Aguirre came back from a 4-2 and a 5-4 deficit to win it 7-5. In singles, there would be no further drama. On two, Aguirre came away with a quick 6-0, 62 win and on three, Christine Hemry posted a similar score with a 6-0, 6-3 victory. Logan Jackson’s 6-1, 6-2 win on six was all the Warriors needed to clinch the match 4-0. The true highlight of the day for the women’s team was the celebration of their seniors following the win. With tears in their eyes, the Warriors celebrated and embraced Peterson, Hemry, Rachal Jackson, and Sidney Lowry. “It was a special day,” said Westmont Women’s Tennis associate head coach Cade

Pierson. “Senior day is always special, but also difficult in certain ways. The story of our team is overcoming challenges and I think we did that really well today. “There is so much I could say about this senior class. As a group, they have all grown so much in their time here. They came in as incredible women, and are leaving as even more incredible young women. We have been blessed with a senior class that is so wellconnected. They’re leaving our program better than when they arrived.” An emotional Pierson, who has both played alongside and coached her seniors, had more to share about the group as individuals. “Christine graduating in three years is an amazing testament to her ability to balance both tennis and academics,” shared Pierson. “Rachal and Sid as captains have both grown so much from their freshman years. They went from five and six to Rachal playing at one and both being leaders on this team. “For Emily, it’s been wonderful to see her come back to the team this year and get closure. It’s been such a joy to have these women be a part of our program. It has been an honor and a privilege to play alongside them and now coach them.” On the men’s side, the Mariners did not have enough players to compete on three in doubles. Regardless, needing only a point to clinch the match’s first point, the Warriors took both matches on one and two. On one, Logan Thompson and Ethan Ha won 6-1, and on two,

Joseph Hemry and Owen Vander Ark won 6-0. In singles, Vander Ark continued his successful day with a 6-1, 6-0 win on three, and on two, Ha swept his opponent 6-0, 6-0. Due to the fact that Marymount forfeited matches on five and six, the Warriors clinched the match rather quickly. “It’s always good to get a win, even though their team was undermanned,” said Westmont head coach Mark Basham. “We’re excited to get on a flight tomorrow and head to Phoenix. Hopefully our best matches of the year are still ahead of us.” The men also celebrated a pair of seniors on Saturday, Joseph Hemry and Trevor Stephens. “It was nice to honor both Joseph and Trevor,” shared Basham. “It’s been great having Joseph back on the team and been great to see him really enjoying it and doing well. Trevor didn’t get to play this year because of some health issues, but it was great getting to honor him as well.” Both the men and women will fly out to Phoenix, Arizona tomorrow and make the drive out to Surprise in preparation for the GSAC Tournament. Both teams begin play in the quarterfinals on Tuesday, with the women’s match beginning at 9:00 a.m., and the men’s beginning at 12:30 p.m.

Second graders from Cold Spring School hold their art work. The students’ paintings of landscapes are now on display at Red Kettle Coffee in Summerland, where proceeds from the sales will go toward a new STEAM building at the Montecito school.

Budding second-grade artists Cold Spring School paints landscapes to raise money for STEAM building

By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Sarah Schaupeter’s secondgrade class at Cold Spring School in Montecito has created paintings of various landscapes in Santa Barbara. The children’s artwork is on

display during April at Red Kettle Coffee, located at 2275 Ortega Hill Drive, Suite A, in Summerland. The artwork will also be for sale, with the funds raised going to benefit the new two-classroom STEAM building at Cold Spring. (STEAM stands for Science,

Technology, Engineering, Art and Math.) The students are excited about the new classrooms. “We are currently out of classroom space, the library and music auditorium are both being used as classrooms,” Ms. Schaupeter told the News-Press.

“The new classrooms would be some of the easiest classrooms to build. The art and STEAM building would be great, and the students are very excited. “The new classrooms would accommodate enrollment growth and provide both current and future students with classroom

space,” she said. “The district is committed to constructing a permanent new building in two phases.” Ms. Schaupeter is a frequent customer of Red Kettle Coffee. The owner, Megan Tingstrom, features an artist every month, and was looking for ideas for the

upcoming month. Ms. Tingstrom was the one who had the idea of displaying students’ artwork, as she had done it previously with Summerland Elementary School. All the paintings were done Please see RED KETTLE on B2

‘Principle of Practical Madness’ Box bearing distinctive print may be work of modern ‘Master of Design’

H. sends me a box with a distinctive classical Renaissance Palladian print superimposed upon it, with a unique perspective, and a near illegible signature beginning with “F” and ending in “I”- dare. I suggest this could a Piero Fornasetti (1913-1988). Mr. Fornasetti was a painter, designer and industrial designer who was incredibly influential in the history of design. He created 13,000 works, decorative objects and furniture which were often copied and mass produced by decree. You see, that is exactly what he wanted: for everyone to own a usable piece of art in their own homes. His famous atelier opened in Milan in the 1950s and is now under the baton of his son Barnaba Fornasetti. Piero Fornasetti’s works were based on the “Principle of Practical Madness.” I love the sound of that. What he meant was that each piece should be part historically referenceable, part dreamscape, functional and mind altering, because the “mind altering” part is what all good art should do. Pablo Neruda said of him that he was “the magician of precious and precise magic,” which means that he used the line to convey space, fantasy and perspective that had an effect upon the imagination: without using one’s imagination, it is hard to understand Mr. Fornasetti. He began his artistic life by learning the printing process and engraving, and his oeuvre became the printed motif on an object of function. Trained in a print shop, he opened his own “Fine Art Printshop” in the 1940s under the cloud of war, and because money and materials were short in Italy he printed easy-to-acquire objects like books, cards, calendars and almanacs to be given as little gifts. He served in the war, but because of a glitch was not called to fight, and instead was given the job (these Italians are wonderful)

of painting and decorating the Sant’Ambrogio barracks. He designed for the theater at this time; sets, magazines and posters. Then came his liaison with Gio Ponti, and he collaborated with that master on interior designs for home, shops and cinemas. He, with Mr. Ponti, designed a piece for the 1951 Triennale which became famous, a mirror with a design to the top called “Architettura Trumeau.” Mr. Ponti went on to design the firstclass section of the famed ship the Andrea Doria in 1952, with the idea that much living could be done well in an exceedingly small space. Once he had a design, he made many variations, which was also a departure for the “old” perception of a work of art as unique. There is that iconic female face on a plate that has been redone in 400 versions, so there is really not one original work (Theme and Variations). Mr. Fornasetii was therefore Post Modern before there WAS Post Modern: he took a beautiful but reproducible print, and then he played with that design on different surfaces. Which means the perspective lines changed not only the object but the design. These pieces create delightfully confusing perspectives: That is why his work has been called magical. Mr. Fornasetti said: “The artist puts things in order to create another world- that is second nature.” His friend, the artist and inventor Bruno Munari, said such pieces can only be measured by the yardstick of Mr. Fornasetti. In the 1960s he found himself on rocky terrain because the world of architecture and design took a turn toward minimalism

over ornamentation, function over form; not what this imaginative designer had practiced. Thus, with friends he opened a gallery for all artists, including those who painted in a more surreal and figurative style. He started painting again and created figures out of visions of fruit and other objects. In the 1980s he opened a gallery in London, “Theme and Variations.” He died shortly thereafter. In 2013 The Triennale Design Museum in Milan gave him a retrospective which was a sell-out; essentially, he was rediscovered, and the show traveled to the Musee des Arts Decorative in Paris and then onto Seoul. The design world saw how valuable his contribution to design had been, and his work influences designers still, a modern Master of Design. He said, “Observe the real to be able to consciously forget it and recreate it through your intellect, your imagination and through design.” In short, H.H.’s piece could be a work by Mr. Forasetti, but, as I said, the artist was in approval of those who used his concepts as art for the people, and therefore we call this “after” Fornasetti. I love the expression “The Principle of Practical Madness!” The value is $400. Dr. Elizabeth Stewart’s “Ask the Gold Digger” column appears Mondays in the News-Press. Written after her father’s COVID-19 diagnosis, Dr. Stewart’s book “My Darlin’ Quarantine: Intimate Connections Created in Chaos” is a humorous collection of five “what-if” short stories that end in personal triumphs over presentday constrictions.

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.

Uvalde mayor: ‘Powder keg about to blow up’ at southern border after Title 42 ends By BETHANY BLANKLEY THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) – Instead of deporting mostly single young male illegal immigrants, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents are releasing them into Texas communities, one of which is the border town of Uvalde, located roughly 80 miles southwest of San Antonio. Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin said CBP agents told him to expect up to 150 people to be released daily into his community, Fox 29 News reported. A minimum of 150 people released a day, 365 days a year, translates to 54,750 people being released into a town with a population of roughly 17,000. In a March 24 interview with Fox News Tucker Carlson, Mr. McLaughlin said, “They’re releasing – in Eagle Pass, Texas right now, which is 63 miles from Uvalde, they are releasing 700 people a day into the community. Same thing in Del Rio, over 500 a day . . . It’s a powder keg that’s going to blow up and this government has no regard for American citizens.” Nearly a year earlier, Uvalde began being inundated with crime and dangerous car chases stemming from law enforcement chasing cartel operatives and traffickers transporting people and drugs through the streets of the relatively peaceful border town, Mr. McLaughlin said. One year ago, last April, Mr. McLaughlin told Mr. Carlson, what Uvalde residents were experiencing was “like the wild, wild, west ... we have car chases on a daily basis, we have

immigrants jumping off trains, we have them coming into towns … in our schools. It’s just non-stop.” Last year, CBP and law enforcement apprehended a record number of repeat offenders, including sexual predators, who’d entered the U.S. illegally. As of last August, nearly 8,700 criminals were arrested at the southern border within a 10- month period, including sex offenders. Last November, CBP reported that 27% of arrested illegal immigrants were repeat offenders, many with other criminal convictions. These numbers and percentages are estimated to only represent a fraction of the number of criminal illegal immigrants coming through. The majority of them evade capture, law enforcement agencies estimate. Last May, Mr. McLaughlin told Mr. Carlson his town was dealing with “13-15 [police] chases per week. … We’re having to lock down our schools… about once a week,” he said. “[Because] almost every one of those cars has armed” occupants. But now with Title 42 being rescinded, Mr. McLaughlin says what Uvalde residents will experience, “it’s going to be total chaos.” Title 42 is a public health authority that allows Customs and Border Protection agents to quickly process and deport illegal immigrants under a public health emergency. It was used by the Trump administration to slow the spread of the coronavirus. The Biden administration announced it was ending it May 23.

Washington AG, FCC target illegal robocallers By BETT DAVIS THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson’s campaign against illegal robocalls gained a new ally in the form of help from the other Washington. Washington state is partnering with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to share information and cooperate in investigating unlawful phone calls that use computerized auto-dialers to deliver pre-recorded messages. “Robocall scammers should be on notice that we are constantly expanding our resources and expertise – Washingtonians are not easy targets,” Mr. Ferguson said in a Thursday press release announcing the inking of a

memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the FCC. “I’m proud to partner with our federal colleagues to coordinate our fight against illegal robocalls.” FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel shared that sentiment. “The FCC and state leaders share a common enemy: robocall scammers targeting consumers and businesses around the country,” she said in a prepared statement. “My team’s commitment to protecting consumers fits hand-in-glove with state Attorneys Generals’ ongoing efforts to combat these scams. We share a goal – to protect consumers – and agreements like this, we can also share the tools needed to achieve it.” Per the memo of understanding, the FCC offers

enforcement staff expertise and resources for investigations, during which both the FCC and state investigators interview witnesses, target companies, look into consumer complaints, and take other steps to build cases against robocall law violators. This is the latest development in Mr. Ferguson’s efforts over the last two years to stop illegal robocalls. In October 2021, Mr. Ferguson filed a suit charging Corvallis, Oregon-based Global Grid Telecom of illegally robocalling Washington residents with deceptive recorded messages, including – ironically – calls looking to sell a service called “MAX|Command” that the company claimed would stop unwanted spam phone calls. The case is ongoing.

NC congressman introduces bill to restart building border wall By BETHANY BLANKLEY THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) – A North Carolina congressman has introduced a bill to require the federal government to restart rebuilding the border wall, which was halted by President Joe Biden. U.S. Rep. Ted Budd, R-NC, introduced the Build the Wall Now Act, which removes all legal impediments to building the border wall. Among other things, it unlocks an additional $2.1 billion that was appropriated in fiscal years 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 that weren’t spent. Congress allocated $6 billion for the wall’s construction between fiscal years 2018 and 2021, according to the General Accounting Office. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt sued the administration last fall, asking the court to require the administration to resume building the wall using funds already appropriated by Congress. Within a month of the AGs’ lawsuit, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said it was using the money on environmental and cleanup projects in certain areas of Arizona, California and Texas. Funds would be used to “address life, safety, environmental, and remediation requirements for border barrier projects” in the San Diego, El Centro, Yuma, Tucson, El Paso, and Del Rio Border Patrol sectors. As the AGs’ lawsuit makes its way through court and as border communities brace for an estimated roughly 18,000 people expected to come through the southern border after Title 42 is repealed next month, Rep. Budd said, “The best way to end the Biden Border Crisis is to finish the border wall now.”

“The Biden administration is trying to run out the regulatory clock on wall construction while undermining our border patrol officers by repealing Title 42,” he said in a statement. “Every time I visit the southern border, law enforcement agents tell me how Biden’s open border policy is endangering our national security and the safety of the entire interior of our country.” Title 42 is a public health authority that allows Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents to quickly process and deport illegal immigrants under a public health emergency. It was used by the Trump administration to slow the spread of the coronavirus. The Biden administration announced it was ending it May 23. As long as Democrats hold a majority in Congress and Mr. Biden remains president, the bill isn’t expected to become law. But it’s an example of Republicans increasingly frustrated with the administration’s open border policies filing legislation in Congress as immigration lawsuits remain tied up in courts. Even while Title 42 was being used, in President Biden’s first year in office, roughly two million people from over 150 countries were apprehended or encountered by CBP agents entering the U.S. illegally. This number excludes an estimated several hundred thousand who evaded law enforcement. All funding for the border wall was suspended on Mr. Biden’s first day in office. It costs taxpayers $3 million a day to not build the wall due to contractual obligations with the construction firm tasked with building it. The administration has claimed it “inherited a broken immigration system – one that wasted billions of taxpayer dollars and neither kept the American people safe nor adhered to our values” and that constructing a border wall was a

“misplaced priority.” Of the 450 miles of the wall built by the Trump administration, only 52 miles was constructed “where no barrier previously existed, with some wall segments costing American taxpayers up to $46 million per mile,” the administration said. Mr. Paxton and Mr. Schmitt argue the wall is a successful deterrent and halting construction violated the Separation of Powers, the Take Care Clause, the Impoundment Control Act of 1974, the Administrative Procedure Act, and the Consolidated Appropriations Acts of 2020 and 2021. Additionally, DHS “has admitted that a physical border wall is an effective defense in curtailing illegal immigration,” they argue. In their brief, they point to a 2018 DHS assessment of the effectiveness of physical barriers, which states, “Walls Work. When it comes to stopping drugs and illegal aliens from crossing our borders, walls have proven extremely effective.” DHS noted that a border wall in one sector alone led to a 90% decrease in border apprehensions. As the federal wall remains unfinished, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott began building a border wall on Texas soil. “Texas is taking what truly is unprecedented action by any state ever,” Gov. Abbott said in December when a section of the wall was erected in Rio Grande City. Texas was building a wall “on our border to secure the sovereignty of the United States as well as our own state,” he said. “And this unprecedented action is needed for one single reason, and that’s because the Biden administration has failed to do its job as required by law as passed by Congress to enforce the immigration laws of the United States of America.”
