The Santa Barbara County Board of Education voted 70 Thursday to start video recordings of its meetings.

The recordings, which will include Spanish translations, will begin with the board’s Oct. 6 meeting, board President Judy Frost told the News-Press in an email.

Included in Thursday’s vote was newly appointed board member Nadra Ehram, who was appointed to fill the vacant seat created by the mid-term resignation of Peter McDougall.

Mr. McDougall resigned during the June 7 board meeting.

Ms. Ehram will represent Trustee Area 2 through the November 2024 election, the remainder of Mr. McDougall’s term.

In May, the board voted 5-2 against video recordings. On June 2, the board voted 7-0 to approve audio recordings.

As previously reported by the News-Press, the meetings were long unrecorded, limiting public access.

On June 7, Ms. Frost requested that video recordings be placed on a future agenda.

The Aug. 4 meeting included a presentation by Superintendent Susan Salcido regarding audio recordings. Her talk covered details such as cost and the process of posting. She said it takes about two weeks for a recording to be posted to the website for public access.

Board member Michelle de Werd made a motion to approve video recordings. The motion failed 4-2. Several board members said they felt they needed more information before

NASA heads back to the moon

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

NASA will take one giant leap back toward the moon today.

The delayed launch of the Artemis rocket is set for 11:17 a.m. Pacific time/2:17 p.m. Eastern time from Cape Canaveral. This is an unmanned test flight, and Artemis I will send the Orion capsule on a 37day journey to the moon, where the capsule will be in orbit.

Today’s launch will be broadcast live on NASA Television, the NASA app and www.nasagov.live.

NASA had to scrub Monday morning’s launch of the rocket because of technical issues, but expressed optimism about today’s launch.

weather conditions, improving throughout the window,” according to NASA. The Artemis program is designed to put the first woman and the first person of color on the moon. And it marks the first time humans are returning to the moon since the last Apollo mission there in 1972.

If Artemis I succeeds, then astronauts will fly in Artemis II no earlier than 2024.

Sometime after 2025, Artemis III would put two astronauts on the moon, according to NASA’s plans.

While today’s Artemis flight is unmanned, the capsule isn’t empty. On board is a plush Snoopy, Legos and three test dummies called Commander Moonikin Campos, Helga and Zohar, along with research payloads. email: dmason@newspress.com

they could vote in favor of video recordings.

During the Aug. 4 meeting, the board voted unanimously to direct the staff to present a detailed plan on the implementation of video recordings at Thursday’s meeting.

“Yesterday staff provided that information,” Ms. Frost told the News-Press on Friday.

After a motion and brief discussion, the board voted unanimously to move forward with the implementation of video recordings.

Ms. de Werd told the NewsPress, “The board’s decision was very deliberate, and they needed to weigh and study and consider the pros and cons of video recording board meetings. I’m happy that the board reconsidered and voted unanimously to video record and archive meetings on the SBCEO website.

“Also, we learned in the meeting from a report by Superintendent Salcido that SBCEO will utilize existing inventory equipment to record meetings via a stationary ipad and will utilize existing staff to do so,” Ms. de Werd said. “There is an additional cost for an interpreter at $100 per hour.

“The public cannot comment remotely and must be in person to comment,” she said.

“I am committed to open government, ensuring as much public access as possible, especially regarding the public education of our children and the spending of taxpayer dollars,” Ms. de Werd told the News-Press.

California lawmakers kill bill to require companies to disclose emissions data THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – Despite advancing several climate measures in the final hours of the legislative session, California lawmakers killed a bill this week that would have required U.S.-based corporate companies operating in the Golden State to disclose greenhouse gas emissions.

Senate Bill 260, dubbed the Climate Corporate Accountability Act, would have required U.S. companies that do business in California and have annual revenues over $1 billion to report their carbon footprint starting in 2025. The bill would have allowed the Attorney General to bring a civil lawsuit against a company that failed to do so.

The bill was one vote short of passing and failed on the floor of the Assembly Wednesday night.

The bill’s author, Senator Scott Wiener, DSan Francisco, issued a statement saying he was “deeply disappointed” that the bill fell short of passage on the Assembly floor after passing the Senate.

“SB 260 was common-sense legislation supported by large corporations like IKEA, Patagonia, Sierra Nevada Brewing Company and many more,” Sen. Wiener said. “This shouldn’t have been a controversial bill; it was a practical solution to ensure we have the information we need about corporate

Low level of COVID-19 transmission reported There is a low level of COVID-19 transmission in Santa Barbara County, according to definitions set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

This reflects new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 population, new COVID-19 related hospital admissions per 100,000 population and the percent of inpatient beds occupied by COVID-19 patients.

There were no deaths reported over the last week, according to the county Public Health Department.

Senate Bill 260, dubbed the Climate Corporate Accountability Act, would have required U.S. companies that do business in California and have annual revenues over $1 billion to report their carbon footprint starting in 2025. emissions. We can’t fix what we don’t understand, and SB 260 would’ve helped Californians understand exactly how much carbon corporations are emitting.”

The bill was backed by a broad coalition of climate advocacy groups, but faced opposition from trade associations and chamber of commerce groups across the state. The Department of Finance also opposed the measure because it would result in “significant General Fund costs not included in the 2022 Budget Act, creates future General Fund cost pressures and may create significant implementation challenges.”

Other opposition groups, including the California Chamber of Commerce, raised concerns about the enforcement, saying that it can be hard to verify certain emissions data that is “by its very nature, subjective, inaccurate, and often incomplete.”

“California is not in the business of

regulating out of state emissions, nor should it be,” the chamber wrote. “California should continue to implement and build upon existing programs and policies to regulate in-state emissions rather than seek to obtain emissions data throughout the international supply chain, especially seeing how it would have no authority to regulate emissions beyond the California border.”

In a statement, Sen. Wiener said he is “very likely” to reintroduce the measure last year, given that it was just one vote away from passing.

Despite that measure failing to pass, California lawmakers advanced several climate measures Wednesday, including several ambitious climate bills backed by Gov. Gavin Newsom. One measure passed by the legislature would prohibit new oil and gas drilling within 3,200 feet of schools, homes and parks.

COVID-19-related hospitalizations have been decreasing and ICU bed availability has been increasing.

Over the last seven days, the weekly average of reported PCR-confirmed cases has decreased by 7.3%, the Public Health Department reported in its weekly report.

But the department cautioned that there is an underreporting of cases in Santa Barbara County, given increased rapid antigen home testing that is often not reported to the public health department.

BA.5 continues to be the dominant variant in California.

Asians (2.8 percent) showed little change over the month.”

“Among the unemployed, the number of permanent job losers increased by 188,000 to 1.4 million in August,” BLS added. “The number of persons on temporary layoff was virtually unchanged at 782,000.”

The report found that more than 4 million Americans want more hours but can’t get them.

“The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons was little changed at 4.1 million in August,” BLS said. “These individuals, who would have preferred full-time employment, were working part time because their hours had been reduced or they were unable to find fulltime jobs.”

(The Center Square) – Newly released federal economic data showed improved job growth for the month of August.

The Bureau of Economic Statistics released its monthly jobs report Friday which showed the economy added just below experts’ expectations with 315,000 jobs in August while unemployment ticked up to 3.7%.

“Notable job gains occurred in professional and business services, health care, and retail trade,” BLS said. “In August, the unemployment rate rose by 0.2 percentage points to 3.7 percent, and the number of unemployed persons increased by 344,000 to 6.0 million. In July, these measures had returned to their levels in February 2020, prior to the coronavirus (COVID19) pandemic.”

Unemployment rates varied by demographic.

“Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rates for adult men (3.5 percent) and Hispanics (4.5 percent) rose in August,” BLS said. “The jobless rates for adult women (3.3 percent), teenagers (10.4 percent), Whites (3.2 percent), Blacks (6.4 percent), and

NEWSROOM

GOLETA — Robert Nisbet was sworn in Thursday as the new Goleta city manager at City Hall.

“I am so grateful for this opportunity to work with the city,” said Mr. Nisbet. “It is great to finally be back in the Good Land.”

Mr. Nisbet has a bachelor’s in construction management from Washington State University and a master’s in economics with an emphasis in public finance and urban economics from UCSB. Mr. Nisbet brings more than 28 years of professional management experience to his new role, including four years as the city manager of Half Moon Bay, just south of San Francisco; six previous years as assistant general manager for the East Bay Regional Park District; 12 years with the Santa Barbara County General Services Department (including seven years as the director) and seven years as the Carpinteria public works director.

(The Center Square) – Attorneys general from New York and California sent a letter Friday to the CEOs of three major credit card companies asking them to establish a specific code to identify purchases from gun stores.

That code, called a merchant category code, could then be used to flag purchases of weapons and ammunition and make it easier for law enforcement officials in their investigations.

“Credit card companies categorize purchases on nearly everything from groceries to gas to clothing, but no category exists for the multi-billiondollar gun and ammunition industry,” New York State Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement.

“Categorizing gun sales can help us work with our partners in police departments to combat gun violence and save lives. This is a common-sense solution that credit card companies can implement to help keep New Yorkers, and all Americans, safer.”

In the two-page letter Ms. James sent with California Attorney General Rob Bonta to American Express Chairman and CEO Stephen Squeri, Mastercard CEO Michael Miebach and Visa Chairman and CEO Alfred F. Kelly Jr., they want the three companies to set up the code during the next International Organization for Standardization meeting takes place.

Ms. James and Mr. Bonta pointed out that the shooter in the 2016 Pulse nightclub attack, which resulted in 49 deaths and 53 injuries, used six credit cards to buy guns and ammo used in the assault. That was cited in a New York Times report, which also pointed out that assailants in 13 other mass shootings where at least 10 people were killed relied on credit cards to get their guns and ammunition.

“If tracking MCCs could stop just one mass shooting or derail one gun trafficker aiming to flood the streets with guns, the change would be justified,” the letter stated.

A spokesman for the National Rifle Association denounced the move in a statement to The Center Square.

“Implying that firearm purchases are suspicious demonstrates an obvious bias these attorneys general hold against anyone who chooses to exercise a fundamental constitutional right,” Lars Dalseide said. “Creating specific credit card codes for firearms lays the groundwork for a de facto firearm registration. Suggesting otherwise is either shortsighted or deceptive. The true travesty is that New Yorkers and Californians must continue facing the violent criminals pushed back on the streets thanks to these two attorneys general reckless soft-on-crime policies.”

Mr. Bonta and Ms. James, in the letter, claimed a gun store-specific MCC would not serve as registration since credit card companies would only see the amount charged and not the actual items purchased.

“To allow the NRA’s false assertion to dictate the behavior of your companies sends the wrong message to the American public,” they wrote. “We urge you not to fall prey to these badfaith schemes.”

Davidson notches Gauchos show hat trick in fight, but Westmont women’s Pepperdine scores soccer win twice in Waves’ win

By RON SMITH WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

Senior forward Reese Davidson scored her first collegiate hat trick as #8 Westmont Women’s Soccer (3-0) posted an 8-1 win over the Oaklanders of Lincoln (0-3) Thursday night on the Thorrington pitch.

“That is a day that every forward celebrates,” noted Westmont head coach Jenny Jaggard. “Scoring a hat trick is a big deal.”

The eight tallies is the most Westmont has recorded since September 24, 2016 when they posted 10 against San Diego Christian. It is just the 10th time in team history that Westmont has scored eight goals or more.

The Warriors outshot the Oaklanders 44-8 - the third highest shot total in program history - placing half their shots on goal.

The game’s scoring opened when Karly Kingsley notched her first goal of the season in the 15th minute. Sadie Hill made a run down the right touch line and received a pass from Amelia Villa who was in the middle of the field. From just beyond the left side of the 18-yard box, Hill passed the ball along the ground to Kinsley who was in the lefthand top corner of the six-yard box. With her back to the goal, Kingsley tapped it to her left, turned and fired it past the Oaklanders’ keeper.

“Karly is so sneaky,”

expressed Jaggard. “The touch she took to create that shot was exceptional. She was able to turn under pressure and put it into the pocket when there are so many bodies in there. You could see her intentionality. She was able to turn, assess and then put it in.”

Just three minutes later, the Warriors struck again courtesy of Davidson’s first goal. Just outside the 18, Davidson was tripped up by a defender and a foul was called. Davidson set up for the foul shot from 22 yards away.

“Reese demonstrated an intelligent decision (on the free kick),” noted Jaggard. “She recognized they were not ready, shot it and kept it on frame.”

In the 32nd minute, Monica Pizano scored Westmont’s final goal of the first half and her first in a Warrior uniform.

From midfield, Villa sent a ball forward that Pizano chased down. At 21-yards out, the transfer from Santa Barbara City College tapped the ball forward, then took four more steps before slotting a shot across the goal into the left-side netting.”

“I was very excited about Monica’s finish today,” said Jaggard. “I thought that was a quality goal and good decision under pressure.”

The Warriors wasted no time in the second half, doubling their goal total in the first 13 minutes. Davidson headed in a throw-in from Elise Hyde in Please see WESTMONT on A6

By MICHAEL JORGENSON UCSB SPORTS WRITER

Playing against Pepperdine Thursday night at Harder Stadium, the UCSB women’s soccer team hung close early and outplayed the Waves at times, but in the end couldn’t withstand the No. 8 scoring offense in the country in a 3-0 defeat.

UCSB (0-4-1) wasn’t able to get much offensive momentum going in the first half as Pepperdine (40-1) worked hard to keep the home side under pressure and playing in its own defensive half.

The Waves started to get UCSB goalkeeper Evann Smith more and more involved as the opening half wore on. They got down to the byline and forced Smith off her line to make a diving stop on a low cross. Two deep shots soon followed to test Smith’s gloves, providing rather routine saves.

Then, in the 42nd minute, the Waves finally broke through.

Freshman midfielder Tatum Wynalda showed off her quickness and sent a searching ball into some open space in the box. Midfielder Tabitha LaParl came flying through to catch it off the bounce with a right-footed volley, placing it right on target and in off of Smith’s gloves.

Coming out of halftime, the Gauchos looked like a completely

different team. Some players off the bench provided great energy as UCSB started to outplay the visitors, forcing some mistakes from their defense and finding possession with numbers forward.

The Gauchos got their first shot on frame with a header by Samantha Christie in the 58th minute.

Unfortunately, UCSB couldn’t find an equalizer before a mistake in the 71st minute set up Pepperdine’s Tori Waldeck with a one-on-one situation that she buried into the right side of the net, doubling the Waves’ lead. In the 88th minute, Pepperdine added another with a solo effort from forward Leyla McFarland who made it 3-0 with a deep left-footed strike.

LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS • Smith made three saves on the night to Waves goalkeeper Ellie Sommers’ one.

• Pepperdine outshot UCSB 124 overall.

UP NEXT The Gauchos will be back home on Sunday to host San Jose State at 12 p.m.

PUBLIC NOTICES NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: CRAIG HINES aka HARRELL CRAIG HINES Case Number: 22PR00377 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: CRAIG HINES aka HARRELL CRAIG HINES A Petition for Probate has been filed by PAMELA MARIA BAKER in the SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA. The Petition for Probate requests that PAMELA MARIA BAKER be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The Petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: SEPTEMBER 20, 2022 at Time: 9:00 AM, in Dept.: 2, located at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, 312 East Cook Street Building E, Santa Maria, CA 93454.

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor.

You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Biden calls Trump and ‘Maga Republicans’ a threat to democracy

By RICHIE MALOUF THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – President Joe Biden gave a speech Thursday night on the “soul of the nation” and called out what he sees as threats to American democracy.

President Biden’s prime-time speech from Philadelphia honed in on former President Donald Trump and his supporters, saying they pose a significant threat to democracy itself.

“Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic,” President Biden said.

He added that not all Republicans are extremists, but said the party remains under Mr. Trump’s influence.

“There’s no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven, and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans, and that is a threat to this country,” he said.

President Biden continued and said that “MAGA Republicans” did not care about the Constitution or the rule of law as they move to overturn the 2020 election.

“They are working right now, as I speak, in state after state, to give power to decide elections in America to partisans and cronies, empowering election deniers to undermine democracy itself.

They promote authoritarian leaders, and they fan the flames of political violence that are a threat to our personal rights, to the pursuit of justice, to the rule of law, to the very soul of this country.”

After berating “MAGA Republicans,” President Biden then moved on to emphasize the need for unity, saying that Americans need to put aside their differences to stop the threat that Mr. Trump and “MAGA Republicans” pose to American democracy.

“I’m asking our nation to come together, unite behind the single purpose of defending our democracy regardless of your ideology,” he said.

Near the conclusion of his speech, President Biden touted his various political successes, including the passing of the infrastructure bill, a health

“There’s no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven, and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans, and that is a threat to this country.”

President Joe Biden care reform bill, and a climate initiative.

“Today, America’s economy is faster, stronger, than any other advanced nation in the world,” he said.

Republicans blasted President Biden’s speech, calling his disparaging remarks hypocritical, especially after he ran a campaign based on the idea of American unity.

“Tonight’s divisive and tone deaf speech is a culmination of his team’s work and rhetoric,” said U.S. Rep. Pat Fallon, RTexas. “This Administration has villainized any American that does not agree with their radical far-left agenda.”

Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., responded to President Biden’s attacks on “MAGA Republicans” in recent days with remarks of his own Thursday, saying President Biden is the one dividing the country with his attacks.

“Yet instead of trying to bring our country together to solve these challenges, President Biden has chosen to divide, demean, and disparage his fellow Americans,” Rep. McCarthy said. “Why? Simply because they disagree with is policies. That is not leadership.”

the 50th minute to make it a 40 game. Davidson set up in front of the goal, and flicked on Hyde’s overhead pass into the far-side netting.

“Reese recognized Elise Hyde’s ridiculously-long throw and no one else was sitting in the right spot,” described Jaggard. “She organized that and put herself in a good spot to finish off that header.”

Davidson struck again less than four minutes later. Kingsley sent a pass to Annalise Romero who tapped it forward into the 18yard box. Davidson ran it down as the keeper came out of her goal.

Davidson’s shot along the ground snuck past the keeper and rolled into the back netting.

In the 70th minute, Lincoln notched their first goal of the season on a shot by Camill Wilson.

She tapped a ball forward to a teammate who sent it back to her on the right side. Wilson ran on the ball and used one touch to send a 27-yard shot just under the crossbar and just over Westmont keeper Maya Pablos’ outstretched

hand.

In the final 10 minutes, Westmont scored twice more.

Villa scored in the 87th minute to make the score 7-1, recording her first collegiate goal. Dribbling down the spine of the field, Villa passed it to Sierra Martin who tapped it back on a give-and-go play. Villa nudged it forward, then took five steps before sending a left-footed shot into the right-hand crease.

In the 89th minute, Ainsley Martin stripped a defender of the ball at midfield, turned and dribbled toward the goal.

Martin then sent the ball into the box, where it was picked up by Katie DeMillo on the run. The Oaklanders’ keeper came out of the box and slid toward the ball as DeMillo attempted a shot. The ball bounced past the keeper as DeMillo leapt and hurdled her.

With an empty net in front of her, DeMillo guided the ball into the goal for the final score.

“It was good to see DeMillo creating some disturbances,” shared Jaggard. “She obviously got the goal, but she did a couple of things to show she is a dangerous player.”

Also of note in today’s game was the return of Olivia Gabelein, playing in her first game since tearing her ACL nearly a year ago. The red-shirt freshman tallied 26 minutes, logging time in both the first and second halves.

Westmont will be on the road for its next game, traveling to UC Merced for a 1 p.m. game on Saturday.

Fess Parker in the Funk Zone

Winery debuts new tasting room in downtown Santa Barbara

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A new Fess Parker tasting room will open in the Funk Zone on Saturday. Guests will be able to enjoy a selection of the family’s Fess Parker Epiphany and Fesstivity wines in a modern, urban setting.

“While there’s something special about welcoming guests to our property in Los Olivos, where they can sip among the vines, we knew we wanted to have a space for those who may not be able to make it over the hill to wine country to experience our wines,” said Ashley Parker Snider.

“We’ve long been fans of the vibrant Funk Zone neighborhood and are excited to continue our family’s hospitality journey here, where we look forward to connecting with a new audience in downtown Santa Barbara.”

Located at the corner of Yanonali Street and Gray Avenue, Fess Parker Funk Zone’s bright, modern space beckons with large windows and board form concrete, along with a large tasting bar that serves as the main focal point.

Handbuilt by Eli Parker’s son-inlaw, Josh White, the bar is made of steel and corrugated tin and topped with walnut butcher block, a stunning contrast to the oystercolored cork wall behind the bar Adding a bit of warmth to the space is furniture from Interra

Design, including wood and metal chairs powder-coated in a shade of green. And, in a nod to the origins of the Funk Zone, the Fess Parker tasting room will also feature a number of pieces by local assemblage artist Dan Levin. His works will be available for purchase and will rotate periodically.

Complementing the spacious indoor setting is a large outdoor patio and parklet.

From the bright and airy indoor-outdoor space, guests can sip wines from Fess Parker Winery, as well as from the family’s boutique Epiphany and Fesstivity labels, with multiple flight options that meet a wide range of taste preferences.

Initial wine flights will include a Fess Parker Winery flight, a Fesstivity sparkling flight, an Epiphany flight and a Rosé flight consisting of Fesstivity Brut Rosé, Fess Parker Rosé and Epiphany Rosé. Wines will also be available for purchase by the glass or bottle.

Established by the late Fess Parker in the 1980s, the multigenerational family owned and operated Fess Parker Winery has built a reputation for crafting exceptional Rhône and Burgundian wines from Santa Barbara County.

After the opening of its expansive tasting room and winery along the Foxen Canyon Wine Trail in the 1990s, Fess

Surgeon to sign book, ‘Muses and Inspiration’

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Dr. Gosta Iwasiuk will sign his book, “Muses and Inspiration,” from 1 to 3 p.m. Oct. 8 at Bank of Books, 820 E. Main St., in Santa Paula.

Dr. Iwasiuk was born in Linz, Austria, grew up in Peoria, Ill., and earned his medical degree at UCLA. He is a member of the American College of Surgeons and served as a Southern California Chapter board member. He also served as president of the Ventura County Medical Society and chief of staff at Santa Paula Memorial Hospital and Ventura County Medical Center.

He has written 11 books: “Tales of a Country Surgeon,” “Vladimir’s Visions,” “The Jesus Gene,” “What I still want to Say,” “Tales of My Home Town,” “Race is it Real,” “We Stand on the Shoulders of Giants” “What I Forgot to Say,” “What I Still Want to Say,” “Covid 19” and “Muses and Inspirations.”

Dr. Iwasiuk had the following thoughts to share about his latest book: “Creating art is something very personal and unique to every artist. It is also a gift that is not explainable. How is it that some people can make something out of stone or clay, or put oil pigment on a piece of linen to look like a tree or flower or a person, and another individual can’t draw

‘Creating art is something very personal and unique to every artist. It is also a gift that is not explainable.’

Dr. Gosta Iwasiuk a straight line?

“One can learn how to do it up to a point, beyond which it is left to the mysteries of DNA that takes over to create the masterpiece. Humans have dabbled with creativity for 60,000 years, decorating cave walls and their own skins. There is an inexplicable drive to adorn oneself and one’s surroundings.

“Both my father and I have this drive. He has the greater talent in the two dimensions, while I have the need to express myself in all three dimensions.

However, we both can do both. This book has a collection of some of our works spanning nearly a century. Some works are aesthetic, some are thoughtprovoking, while some record a historical event or person.

“The purpose of art is to delight, amaze and at times inform. Personally, it has also helped me deal with the horrors of Putin’s War. Looking at art lifts my spirit and gives me hope that we are still a civilized society. Two Ukrainian artists want to share these gifts with you and hope they also give you hope!” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

Thought for Today

Cancer: Finances could take on a new dimension as you look to technology to help you increase your bank balance. You could decide to invest online or try some new means of recordkeeping.

Whatever you try will bode well for your financial future.

Leo: Bizarre, unexpected developments might turn your life upside down today, Leo. Money could be involved. New people could arrive who open doors that eventually lead to a new life. You could even fall in love at first sight. It isn’t easy to make predictions for a strange day like this. Rest assured that when you go to bed you won’t be the same person you were when you woke up.

Virgo: Today you might be fascinated with movies, music, and video. You could discover a new interest in filmmaking, sound engineering, or videography that you want to pursue. You might decide to read about these fields and apply what you learn to the movies you see and the music

Scorpio: An unexpected career break could come your way, Scorpio. It should be exciting and encouraging - and a little scary! Don’t let apprehension get to you. You won’t want to let this opportunity pass you by. Your good fortune could arouse envy in some of your co-workers, but don’t let this bother you either.

Sagittarius: A trip by air may be in your future, Sagittarius.

You may be planning to tour distant states or foreign lands when that’s possible. You could be going with friends or a group you’re associated with. Unusual new interests could capture your attention, enticing you to further study.

Pisces: You could get upsetting news regarding your job, Pisces.

There could be a shakeup in the hierarchy or someone in a position of authority could abruptly leave.

You and your co-workers could have some momentary fears about job security, but they’re probably unwarranted.

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.

Report: Biden Education Department staff will get $500K from student loan bailout

By JACK APPLEWHITE THE COLLEGE FIX via THE CENTER SQUARE

(The College Fix) – President Joe Biden’s $300 billion student loan bailout will benefit some of his political appointees to the U.S. Department of Education, according to a new analysis from a government watchdog.

At least some of those appointees likely helped craft the policy due to their roles in the administration, according to a government watchdog executive who spoke to The College Fix. American Accountability Foundation founder Tom Jones told The Fix that a clear conflict of interest exists for DOE staffers who helped write the proposal.

“The fact that Department of Education staffers who could personally benefit from the student loan bailout are the same people who are crafting it is a conflict of interest and unacceptable,” Mr. Jones said in an email to The Fix. “The President and the Secretary of Education should have excluded anyone who was eligible for the

The report notes that more than 40 DOE staffers will benefit from the proposal including Melanie Muenzer and Jennifer Mishory, two department chiefs of staff whose collective debt forgiveness could total over $40,000. bailout from helping draft it.”

“The new political staff at the Department of Education could personally benefit by up to $512,646 in forgiven student loan principal balances and forgone interest payments if $10,000 in federal loans are forgiven,” according to the government watchdog’s report.

The report notes that more than 40 DOE staffers will benefit from the proposal including Melanie Muenzer and Jennifer Mishory, two department chiefs of staff whose collective debt forgiveness could total over $40,000.

AAF also reports that the windfall for DOE employees could be even greater if the proposal was widened to cover private loans.

“Staffers stand to benefit even

more if the debt forgiveness is expanded beyond $10,000 and extended to apply to private loans,” the report stated. “Student loan debt at the Department is massive with 41 education staffers evaluated holding between $2,820,061 and $6,500,000 in total student loan debt,” the AAF reported.

The AAF founder also explained his belief that the DOE staffer’s personal situations played a role in developing the student loan cancellation policy.

“The people who drafted the policy see the issue through their personal lens, which is that of a young person living in Washington DC, heavily indebted from expensive educations whose value outside government and campaign jobs is negligible,” Mr. Jones said.

“Of course they advocate for a

policy that reduces their monthly bills. You would have had a much different policy if it was drafted by people who had taken loans, graduated, worked in the private sector, and paid down their loans.”

The Fix reached out to several DOE staffers listed in the AAF report as having student loan debt. The inquiry asked them to confirm their details in the report and what comments they had on benefiting personally from a policy they are promoting.

A spokesperson for the DOE responded on their behalf and referred The Fix to a department memo titled “The Secretary’s Legal Authority for Debt Cancellation.”

However, the spokesperson did not comment any further on staffers having their loans canceled.

Public comment must still be made in person VIDEO

Continued from Page A1 public agencies post historical minutes and board packets on their websites that go back five to seven years or even longer. We do not practice this,” she said. “Our minutes and board packets go back to 2020. For the benefit of tracking trends, strategic plans, budgets, LCAP (Local Control Accountability Plans) and board votes, historical minutes should be available for public review.

“I spoke to many folks, and most assumed our meetings were recorded similar to other public agencies and were surprised to learn that we only started audio recordings a couple months ago,” said Ms. de Werd The News-Press asked Ms. de Werd about the option for participation and public

comment on a digital platform such as Zoom.

“That wasn’t part of the discussion … The board did not give a reason as to why that wouldn’t be an option. People must come in person if they want to comment at this point.

That might change in the future,” said Ms. de Werd.

Rosanne Crawford, who is running against incumbent Marybeth Carty for county Board of Education Trustee Area 1, told the News-Press: “I’m very pleased this option is now available after much resistance from the board and it’s a step in the right direction. If elected to Trustee area 1, I will take it a step further and push for remote access so that one may register electronically to speak in public comment or to any agenda item.

“This is needed as the County Board of Education often meets mornings and early

afternoons at the Santa Barbara office of education, making it difficult for many to participate,” Ms. Crawford said. “People in Carpinteria, Santa Maria, and Lompoc particularly have found it difficult to attend the in-person meetings in Santa Barbara. The board needs to make access available and more inclusive for all of the communities they serve.”

Noted Ms. de Werd, “We are a public education agency with a staff of 600 people and a $100 million budget; for a future board agenda item, I requested that we post historical minutes and board packets (five to seven years) on the SBCEO website.

“I speak for myself and not for the Santa Barbara County Board of Education,” she said. email: kzehnder@newspress.com
