Traffic moves freely Sunday through the construction zone on Highway 101 at Summerland. This portion of the freeway will likely play host to increased traffic later this week leading up to Thanksgiving Day. AAA’s Automobile Club of Southern California predicts that 4.5 million travelers in Southern California will travel 50 miles or more for the holiday.

Southern Californians are expected to board planes and hit the road at record rates this Thanksgiving.

AAA’s regional Automobile Club of Southern California predicts that 4.5 million travelers in Southern California will travel 50 miles or more for the autumn holiday. That figure represents the highest number of Thanksgiving travelers in the region since record keeping began in 2000.

Doug Shupe, the organization’s corporate communications and programs manager, told the News-Press on Monday that 3.9 million Southern Californians will travel by car and 542,000 by plane, and 109,000 will utilize buses or rail, or embark on cruises for the holiday.

Nationwide, travel is forecasted to increase 2.5% compared to last year’s figures and 1.7% compared to pre-COVID Thanksgiving travel in 2019.

“Despite inflation and despite the high gas prices, people are continuing to prioritize valuable and memorable times with their family and their friends, and they’re prioritizing their budgets to be able to gather with their loved ones to spend the holidays,” Mr. Shupe said. “It’s all based on pent-up demand.

“Over the last two years during the pandemic, so many people put plans on hold, they canceled vacations, and so now a lot of people feel more comfortable to travel,” he said. “They missed spending those holidays at the

(The Center Square) – The Biden Administration announced Monday it would award Pacific Gas & Electric $1.1 billion in federal funding to extend operation of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant, the state’s last nuclear power plant.

The funding comes after lawmakers passed Senate Bill 846 on the final night of the legislative session, giving lawmakers the option to make up to $1.4 billion available to PG&E to extend the life of the power plant. The plant was initially set to start shutting down in 2024, but under SB 846, the first reactor can remain operational until 2029 with the second reactor shutting down in 2030. Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the bill into law in September.

Gov. Newsom and lawmakers argued it was necessary to extend the life of Diablo Canyon until more renewable energy resources become available. As lawmakers debated the bill on the final night of the legislative session, the majority ultimately agreed that temporarily extending the plant’s operation was necessary to keep the lights on for Californians and ensure energy reliability.

Last month, the state authorized a loan of up to $1.4 billion from the Department of Water Resources to PG&E to support extended operation of the power plant. The $1.1 billion in federal funding will be used to help PG&E pay back most of the loan, according to the governor’s office.

The federal funding does not mean Diablo Canyon is guaranteed to remain open longer than originally planned, as any extension requires approval from federal, state and local regulatory entities, according to the governor’s office.

“Amid intensifying climate impacts in the West and across the country, California is focused on meeting our bold climate and clean energy goals while tackling

The Santa Barbara Airport expects a record-breaking number of travelers because of Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving dinner table with their loved ones, and people are just ready to get out there and do those kinds of things again.”

Mr. Shupe also warned that pent-up demand will continue to contribute to high travel rates for both this year’s Christmas holiday as well as general travel in 2023.

He encouraged those planning to travel during those times to book their trips as soon as possible.

AAA is recommending that

travelers this week try to leave as early as they can on their travel days to avoid afternoon traffic that will include both regular commuters and holiday travelers, but also cautioned drivers to avoid driving during times they wouldn’t normally be awake to avoid accidents.

The Santa Barbara Airport is also predicting a record breaking year with what could be the Please see TRAVEL on A2

the challenges of extreme weather that puts lives at risk and strains our grid,” Gov. Newsom said in a statement Monday. “This investment creates a path forward for a limited-term extension of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant to support reliability statewide and provide an onramp for more clean energy projects to come online.”

Gov. Newsom signed SB 846 as a record-breaking heatwave caused temperatures to swell to over 100 degrees in several parts of the state. California’s power grid experienced recordbreaking demand in September, though the state narrowly avoided ordering rolling outages, crediting consumer energy conservation.

As climate change drives more intense heat waves and fire seasons in the West, Gov. Newsom and lawmakers have emphasized the need to ensure energy reliability. This year’s state budget included $2.2 billion in one-time funding to support “strategic energy reserve resources” when the grid is stressed.

The federal funding comes as part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Civil Nuclear Credit Program, which made $6 billion available throughout the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to help preserve existing U.S. reactors.

PG&E has been conditionally awarded a $1.1 billion portion, but final award amounts will be determined after the completion of each year of the award period, the company said in a news release.

“This is another very positive step forward to extend the operating life of Diablo Canyon Power Plant to ensure electrical reliability for all Californians,” PG&E Corporation Chief Executive Officer Patti Poppe said in a statement. “While there are key federal and state approvals remaining before us in this multiyear process, we remain focused on continuing to provide reliable, low-cost, carbon-free energy to the people of California, while safely operating one of the top performing plants in the country.”

(The Center Square) – A new GOP report details how the Pentagon has prioritized promoting critical race theory, progressive gender ideology and more using taxpayer dollars.

The report, commissioned by U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, lays out a series of examples of liberal racial and gender ideology permeating military training, policies and leadership, all at taxpayer expense.

For example, the report details examples of critical race theory being taught at military academies across branches, saying they “reflect broader trends in the armed forces.” In one of those examples, the report references

training materials obtained through a formal records request where West Point cadets are lectured on white privilege.

“The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff defended teaching CRT at U.S. Service Academies and testified to Congress about his desire to understand ‘white rage,’” the report said. “He argued that American taxpayer money should be spent to ensure cadets and midshipmen learn what ‘caused thousands of people to assault [the Capitol] Building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States.’ The Biden Administration is choosing to focus on and fund the study of racial extremism even when – as the [“Countering Extremist Activity Working Group] showed Please see REPORT on A4

TRAFFIC, CRIME AND FIRE BLOTTER Hazard reduction efforts may result in smoke SANTA BARBARA – Santa Barbara County firefighters were working Monday in the area of the Painted Cave Fuel Break, working to complete the burning of hazard reduction burn piles.

The public may notice smoke in the area of Painted Cave/HWY 154/Paradise Road over the next five approved burn days.

New bicycle safety features in place on SR 135 SANTA MARIA – A recently completed project which resurfaced six miles of State Route 135 (Broadway) from the US 101/State Route 135 Interchange to Lakeview Road includes new bicycle safety features between Santa Maria Way and Preisker Lane.

As part of the project, bike lanes were installed along various segments of the roadway.

Shared lane markings (sharrows) were also implemented on some portions of the highway which allows bicycles to use the full lane with a chevron marking pointing in the rider’s direction of travel.

For more information on how (Sharrows) work go to https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=kKED2gy23F8.

The contractor for this $12 million project was CalPortland Construction of Santa Maria.

Prescribed burn planned by end of January SANTA BARBARA COUNTY – The Santa Barbara County Range Improvement Association, in cooperation with the Santa Barbara County Fire Department, plans to conduct a prescribed burn before the end of January.

Prescribed fires typically burn less intensely than wildfires. Prescribed burns can help prevent the spread of wildfires and can reduce impacts to watersheds that can result in soil loss and sedimentation.

The Bar M burn is a range improvement burn to improve herbaceous forage for livestock. It will occur approximately 6 miles southeast of Los Alamos at the Bar M Ranch (also known as Barham Ranch). Approximately 65 acres of sage scrub and Oak Woodland with grass understory will be burned. This will be a one-day burn.

Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District (APCD) staff review the Smoke Management Plans and provide conditions to minimize smoke impacts in Santa Barbara County. The burns will occur when the meteorological conditions are highly favorable to direct smoke away from population centers.

Prescribed burns are planned and coordinated by the Santa Barbara County

Carbajal visits Cuba with bipartisan delegation U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal has led a trip by a bipartisan House Agriculture Committee delegation to Havana.

The visit to Cuba started Saturday. In addition to Rep. Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, the delegation includes Reps. Jim Baird, R-Indiana, and Jahana Hayes, D-Conn.

The delegation was scheduled to meet with farmers and agricultural experts for a better understanding of Cuba’s farming and food supply.

The congressional representatives also planned to discuss where opportunities for mutual economic benefit may exist for American

Fire Department, Santa Barbara County APCD, San Luis Obispo County APCD, San Joaquin Valley APCD, Ventura County APCD, and the California Air Resources Board in order to minimize impacts on air quality on surrounding communities. The burn is dependent on weather and air quality conditions that are favorable to smoke dispersion. If the conditions are not as desired, the burn will be rescheduled.

Due to changing winds and weather conditions, it is difficult to predict which areas of the county, if any, may be most affected by smoke from the burn.

If you smell smoke, take precautions and use common sense to reduce any harmful health effects by limiting outdoor activities. When you can smell smoke or when it is visible in your area, avoid strenuous outdoor activity and remain indoors as much as possible.

These precautions are especially important to children, older adults, and those with heart and lung conditions. If you are sensitive to smoke, consider temporarily relocating and closing all doors and windows on the day of the burn. Symptoms of smoke exposure can include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, chest tightness or pain, nausea and unusual fatigue or lightheadedness. Please use caution while driving near prescribed fire operations.

National debt to GDP ratio worse than estimates, group says

By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – New budget estimates show that the growth of the national debt is worse than previously thought.

The U.S. Congressional Budget Office released projections in May that the national debt will hit 110% of U.S. Gross Domestic Product by 2032. Now, with interest rates higher and GDP growing more slowly, a leading budget group has released more dire projections.

The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget raised the alarm, saying that the federal debt will be 116% of GDP in 2032 but could even reach as high as 138% of GDP in 10 years. The group said that “costly legislative and executive actions” have worsened the debt to GDP ratio since CBO’s May estimate.

“Under our updated baseline scenario, which incorporates these factors and also subtracts about $920 billion of borrowing for baseline adjustments related to the infrastructure bill, we find debt would reach a massive 116 percent of GDP by 2032,” the group said in its analysis.

The U.S. Federal Reserve has hiked interest rates to deal with soaring inflation, making all debt more costly, including that held by the federal government.

“Under a more pessimistic (and in many ways realistic) scenario, debt in 2032 would reach 138 percent of GDP, deficits would reach 10.1 percent, and interest would total 4.4 percent of GDP,” the group said. “These projections suggest an unsustainable fiscal trajectory” The U.S. national debt surpassed $31 trillion last month after surpassing $30 trillion earlier this year. Lawmakers are reportedly mulling new tax breaks at the end of this year as well.

“We are asking lawmakers to take one small step towards fiscal responsibility and agree there should be no new borrowing for the remainder of 2022,” said Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. “There is not one single economic justification to borrow rather than pay for any new priorities … it will be good practice for politicians to break their addiction to debt.”

businesses and Cubans, as well as the impact of U.S. commodities on Cuban markets and households.

“As members of the House Agriculture Committee, we work every week in Washington to track the impact that U.S. agriculture and agricultural trade is having in nations around the globe,” according to a statement from the delegation. “And as the United States is one of Cuba’s largest suppliers of agricultural imports, we look forward to seeing the impact of U.S. products and the opportunity to survey local agricultural practices.”

On Saturday, Rep. Carbajal’s office said the trip would conclude soon.

Continued from Page A1 highest-volume Thanksgiving holiday the regional transit hub has ever seen. An airport representative agreed with AAA’s advice to arrive at airports — including Santa Barbara — at least two hours before domestic flights and three hours prior to international flights. (Only domestic flights go into or from the Santa Barbara Airport.)

“If you’re traveling anytime in

the next couple of days, get (to SBA) two hours early, especially if you’re parking, especially if you’re checking bags, especially if you don’t have TSA Pre-Check,” SBA Marketing Supervisor Angi Daus told the News-Press. “We just really can’t stress that enough.

“If you’re dealing with any of those things, you really need to expect there to be lines and for some time to be taken to get situated before you’re in the secure area of the terminal and before you can board.”

While Ms. Daus did agree that

pent-up travel demand as a result of the pandemic was likely leading to some of the increased travel rates, she also pointed to other factors that may be encouraging people to take to the skies from SBA. “There’s going to be plenty of people that didn’t travel for the holidays last year that are this year,” Ms. Daus said. “But for (the Santa Barbara Airport), we also are attributing peoples’ change in lifestyle, habits and desires (to the higher number of Thanksgiving travelers). People

want to use smaller regional airports that are cleaner and easier to use, especially because we have Southwest here now and that’s really helped create better rates and opportunity for connectivity.”

For those traveling out of LAX, the Santa Barbara Airbus told the News-Press that seats are still available for Thanksgiving travelers and that the company was prepared to make additional buses available if necessary. email: jdaniels@newspress.com

Westmont women’s basketball improves to 6-0

By RON SMITH WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

Westmont Women’s Basketball (6-0, 2-0 GSAC) finished up the first weekend of Golden State Athletic Conference play with a 72-41 victory over Ottawa of Arizona (4-5, 0-2) on Saturday afternoon in Murchison Gymnasium.

Stefanie Berberabe followed up her triple-double performance on Thursday against Arizona Christian with 15 points, six rebounds, four assists and four steals in just 28 minutes of play. Sophomore guard Kate Goostrey added another 10 points and four assists in 23 minutes while senior forward Sydney Brown notched nine points, nine rebounds, five steals and three blocks in 30 minutes of play. Every player for the Warriors had at least one field goal.

“It was good to get contributions from everyone,” said Westmont head coach Kirsten Moore. “Coming out of the GSAC opening weekend, it has highlighted some things that we need to improve on and it is also nice to get a couple of wins under our belt.”

Ottawa scored the first two points on a layup by Tatiana Gary before Westmont scored the next 13.

Goostrey and Berberabe hit a pair of triples and Goostrey added another three to make the score 92. A layup by Sage Kramer (9 points, 3 rebounds) and a jumper by Brown completed the run. Westmont closed out the opening frame on a 5-2 run with an old-fashioned three by Brown and a pair of free throws by Berberabe.

“I was pleased with our start and we were definitely focused on that after Thursday night, feeling like we didn’t set the tone early enough,” noted Moore. “You can see from the box score, however, we were up and down with stretches that

were really good tonight and stretches where we got sloppy. We still have a long way to go to be the team we are capable of. Obviously, we are doing some good things along the way and just need to stay focused and keep getting better each day.”

The Spirit found some offensive rhythm in the second frame, but were still outscored by the Warriors 22-18. Tiana Sledge tallied 10 points for Ottawa, four on free throws, while Westmont was led

by Berberabe who went four-for-four from the floor.

Westmont took a 40-22 lead into the second half.

Defense ruled the first half of the penultimate period with neither team making more than one field goal in the first five minutes. A layup by Paula Graichen (6 points, 3 rebounds), after a steal by Isabella Pearson, sparked a 13-0 run in the balance of the quarter.

Westmont outscored Ottawa 15-3 in the period.

Pearson continued the run with a layup before Graichen added another. Then, Sage Kramer drained a 3-pointer to give Westmont a 51-25 advantage.

Layups by Kate Goostrey and Alenna Cook closed out the third quarter with a 55-25 lead for the Warriors.

In the final frame, Westmont led by as much as 33 points on three occasions before closing out the game with a 31-point win.

The Warriors will hit the road this week for a pair of games. Today, Westmont will take on Cal Poly Pomona in an exhibition match-up. Then on Wednesday, the Warriors will face off with the Golden Eagles of La Sierra on Wednesday evening at 6:30 p.m.

Ron Smith is the sports information director at Westmont College.

By JACOB NORLING Westmont men’s basketball (81, 2-0 GSAC) outlasted the Ottawa (Ariz.) Spirit (4-2, 1-1) by a score of 84-75 on Saturday, allowing the Warriors to escape the first weekend of GSAC play with a pair of victories.

After the Warriors built a double-digit lead in the second half, it was a matter of holding off OUAZ down the stretch. While a late lead change saw the game hanging in the balance in the final two minutes, Westmont was able to come away with the game’s final run to take the contest.

“Us being nine games in, still doesn’t give an indication of how new we are as a team,” said Westmont head coach Landon Boucher. “We’re learning who we are still, while also learning how to win tight games against top-tier teams in the nation.

“Coming off the ACU game, we got up 15 and were mentally and physically tired. By taking a couple timeouts we refocused, got back into our rhythm, and found a way to get it done. The biggest thing is, win or lose, we’re taking lessons from each and every one of these games.”

During the first half of action, offense told the story of the day with both teams shooting over 50% going into intermission. Westmont shot 54.3% from the field (19-35), which was highlighted by their ability to make eight of 14 threepoint attempts in the first half. On the other end of things, OUAZ shot at a mark of 53.1 % (17-32), while making just two of seven from beyond the arc.

Individually, three Warriors scored in double-figures during the first half, with Cade Roth leading all scorers with 16 points.

Roth, who converted a trio of 3pointers during the half, closed out the final minute of the period on an individual 5-0 run, allowing Westmont take a 47-42 advantage into the locker room.

After nine lead changes in the first half, the two sides went almost the entire second half without necessitating another.

With 17:50 left in half, Anthony McIntyre hit the first of three consecutive 3-pointers that saw the Warriors take control.

After Jalen Townsell hit the second, Roth drained another with 16:00 to play that put Westmont up a game-high 61-46.

From there, the offense began to cool down, with a dangerous run beginning at the 9:15 mark in the half. With 9:15 to play, Kyler Warren collected an offensive rebound and quickly assisted Townsell on a layup beneath the basket.

Following Townsell’s layup, with Westmont leading 71-62, the

Warriors did not score for almost six minutes. With 3:35 left, a free throw by Amir Davis ended the streak, but by that time, the Spirit had clawed back to make it a two possession game. Then, with 2:22 to play, a pair of free throws gave OUAZ a 73-72 advantage, their first of the second half.

Coming out of a timeout, and with the shot clock winding down, it was once again Roth who claimed the spotlight, this time draining a go-ahead 3-pointer to put Westmont back up 75-73.

After a stop on the defensive end, Townsell continued the final swing of momentum with another shot from beyond the arc, putting Westmont up 78-73 with 1:13 remaining.

A few minutes and a handful of free throws later, the Warriors had officially hung on to win it 84-75.

“Again, it was Cade who hit that three to end our dry spell.” Noted Boucher. “Cade is in rhythm, he’s confident, and he’s playing like our most experienced Westmont Warrior. When Cade plays like that, it displays how many weapons this team actually has.”

Roth led the way with a seasonhigh 29 points and four assists, while McIntyre added in 16 points of his own. Townsell, who hit four 3-pointers, finished with 14 points, while Davis, who also scored 14 points, led Westmont with eight rebounds.

Warren was the only Warrior to score off the bench, as the returning bigman contributed with five points, a pair of rebounds, and an assist.

“Kyler was amazing off the bench,” nodded Boucher.

“Especially with Jalen in foul trouble early, for him to come in, hit a three, and just have great energy, it was huge for us. If you look at a box score, sometimes you don’t see the impact players like Kyler have. He came in and gave us a boost when we needed it.

“Jalen Townsell had an amazing game today, too. He made some clutch shots and guarded some of the best players on their team. I’m really happy with his line, going four of six from three and coming down with some big boards as well.

“We’re taking it one step at a time, one game at a time, and we’re excited to get back after it on Wednesday.”

The Warriors return to action for a pre-Thanksgiving contest on Wednesday, when they host UC Merced at 2 p.m. in Santa Barbara. Links to live coverage are available on the Westmont Athletics website.

By RON SMITH WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

Despite several swimmers having to scratch from events due to illness or injury, #12 Westmont Women’s Swimming made the most of their opportunity in the La Verne Invitational this weekend. The women’s competition consisted of 14 teams – mostly from NCAA Division II and III schools – with Westmont finishing 12th.

“As a coach, of course, I’m frustrated when my team isn’t feeling well and we can’t compete to the level I think we are capable of,” acknowledged Westmont’s head coach Jill Jones Lin. This team works hard and it’s unfortunate that they weren’t able to all be at their best this weekend.

Despite all of that, they came together and overall had some impressive and gutsy swims.

“The freshmen have been showing up strong this meet,” noted Jones Lin. “Emma Bustamante swam a lifetime best time in the 500 yard freestyle (5:24.59) and broke the two minute barrier in the 200 yard freestyle (1:58.56).

Daisy Marquardt achieved provisional cuts in multiple events.”

In the 200 yard individual medley Marquardt finished with a time of 2:16.25 while posting a time of 4:47.77 in the 400 yard individual medley.

Emma Diehl earned provisional times of 25.32 in the 50 yard freestyle and 1:00.69 in the 100 yard butterfly before giving the 200 yard butterfly a try.

“Emma Diehl swam the 200 yard butterfly for the second time ever, achieved the provisional cut and got a new school record,” said Jones Lin. “It’s been a tough event for her to mentally finish, but she really pulled it together.

She made it back to finals and improved her time even more (2:17.15), which I think puts her in a good position to qualify for NAIA nationals.”

“Senior Rian Lewandowski achieved her first provisional swim of the season in the 100 yard butterfly (1:01.14) Please see WESTMONT on A4

UCSB men’s basketball drops game against Northern Arizona

By KRISTEN KELLER It was the first trip on the road this season as the UCSB men’s basketball team (2-1) traveled to Flagstaff, Az., to take on the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks. This was the first contest between these two teams since 1981 when the Gauchos defeated the Lumberjacks in The Thunderdome.

While being on the road and coming off a slow start, the Gauchos attempted a comeback at the start of the second half. However, it wasn’t enough to hold off Northern Arizona as UCSB dropped their first game of the season 63-54.

Arizona. With the help of Ajay Mitchell and Miles Norris, the Gauchos scored 19 points in the first half. It wasn’t enough to take the lead before heading into the locker room, as the Lumberjacks had a 26-19 lead.

Once the two teams were back on the court for the second half, it started much like the first. No one on either team was able to score for the first two minutes until Josh PierreLouis made a field goal. From there, UCSB fought their way back into the game, keeping Northern Arizona from scoring for six minutes. Even with this push, the Lumberjacks could not be stopped. The bad guys ended up pushing ahead of the Gauchos yet again, ultimately defeating UCSB 63-54.

double-digit points in yet another game. The sophomore from Belgium led the Gauchos in the first half while adding more baskets in the second, ultimately finishing his night with 16 points. He also led the team in assists with two.

• Norris also ended tonight’s game with double-digit points, securing this feat with a three-pointer late in the second to finish with 11. He also added on five rebounds.

• Andre Kelly continues to put in on defense.

His leadership in the paint helped his team earn 35 rebounds tonight with him grabbing seven, the highest number for a Gaucho in this contest.

HOW IT HAPPENED

LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS

The first half of play was a slow start for both teams. Neither the Gauchos or the Lumberjacks were able to score a basket for the first three minutes of play. Despite the start, the Gauchos were able to get on the board and play catch-up with Northern

• Since his return to the court, Pierre-Louis has been instrumental for the Blue and Gold.

He led the team in scoring with 17 points while making seven of his eight free throw attempts.

Report critical of training regarding gender, race REPORT

Continued from Page A1 – it is a virtual non-issue in the military.”

In another example, the report points to a slide presentation for the Air Force Academy titled, “Diversity & Inclusion: What it is, why we care, & what we can do,” which warns cadets to avoid gendered language, including terms like “mom” and “dad.”

“Focusing on what is different among us, rather than that which unites us, only serves to foster division and discontent among service members,” the report said. “We need look no further for evidence of this than the recent egregious example of an attempt to use taxpayer money and DoD property to host a drag queen story hour for children at the library on Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany to promote ‘inclusivity’ during pride month.

“That event was thankfully canceled after Senator Rubio sent a letter censuring the Air Force for considering placing children

in a sexualized environment, but it greatly concerned service members and their spouses,” the report said. “Moreover, it sent a message that discouraged potential newcomers from joining up.”

The report points to the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion official for the Department of Defense Education Agency, which is tasked with educating the children of service members and DOD civilians.

From the report: “That’s why having a radical extremist like Kelisa Wing as Chief Diversity Equity and Inclusivity (DEI) Officer at DODEA is completely insane.

In 2020, Wing tweeted: “I’m exhausted with these white folx in these [professional development] sessions. [T]his lady actually had the CAUdacity to say that black people can be racist too…. I had to stop the session and give Karen the BUSINESS.” (Caudacity is a derogatory word to describe the audacity of white people.)

Wing also wrote a book to teach white children that they have

white privilege and that “white privilege hurts a lot of people.”

The book comes with an exercise to help kids understand “what parts of my identity have provided me with privilege.” This racist bigotry from a DEI specialist is par for the course, but given the unique position of service members with kids in DODEA schools are in, this is completely and utterly unacceptable.

Sen. Rubio argued this focus is a distraction for the armed services.

“Rather than making the case for American greatness and protecting our nation, the military is parroting woke nonsense. It’s dumb, it doesn’t work, and it’s dangerous,” Sen. Rubio said. “We need to spend more time thinking about how to counter Chinese aircraft carriers and less time thinking about pronouns.”

Major Charlie Dietz, a DOD spokesman in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, pushed back against the report.

“Diversity, inclusion, and equality at its core is about leveraging the strengths of all our people, advancing

opportunity, addressing potential barriers or discrepancies, and – fundamentally – ensuring people are treated with dignity and respect,” he told The Center Square. “We always talk about weapons systems, yet every one of us will agree that our greatest weapons system are our people.

So that’s why our policies to better leverage our people and increase unit cohesion are important here.”

The Republican lawmakers disagree and are calling for an end to this kind of practice, saying it hurts cohesion, military readiness and recruitment.

“The Department of Defense’s priority should be training the men and women of our Armed Forces to be a united, lethal, and battle-ready force primed to defend the United States and her interests at a moment’s notice,” Rep. Roy said. “Instead, Biden’s woke Pentagon is using taxpayer dollars to promote blatant antiAmerican ideology. It has to stop.

We need to end this politicization of our military and keep our Armed Forces focused on defending our national security.”

Trump refrains from tweeting despite receiving account back

By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – Billionaire and new owner of Twitter, Elon Musk, sparked controversy over the weekend for reinstating former President Donald Trump’s Twitter account. So far, though, Mr. Trump hasn’t posted on the social media website.

Mr. Musk made the decision after conducting a Twitter poll using his personal account.

The results came in at 51.8% saying yes to Mr. Musk’s question, “reinstate former President Trump,” after 15,085,458 votes. Musk said 134 million people saw the poll.

“The people have spoken,” Mr. Musk wrote on Twitter. “Trump will be reinstated.”

Mr. Trump was permanently removed from several social media sites after the Jan. 6 protests at the Capitol building.

Mr. Trump, who recently announced he is running again for president, posted a screenshot of Mr. Musk’s Twitter poll on his social media site, TruthSocial. He has 87.4

“Vote now with positivity, but don’t worry, we aren’t going anywhere,” he wrote.

Mr. Musk’s decision drew backlash from many on the platform, though Mr. Musk has responded coyly to a range of criticisms since taking the helm of Twitter.

Mr. Musk posted on Twitter about Mr. Trump’s decision to resist the “temptation.” Whether he will continue to hold off remains to be seen.

She went out strong and was able to hold on throughout,” said Jones Lin. “Lauren Healy swam a season best as well (19:41.67).

“Abby Rickard had a great split in the 400 medley relay, so I took a gamble on the 200 yard medley relay by putting Ella Chaisson in backstroke and Abby as breaststroke. It paid off and both our A and B relays had great splits.”

Dorothea Margaret Johnson, 100, of Santa Barbara, California, passed away on October 19, 2022. She was born to T. Edward Ellis and Mary May Beck in St. James, Long Island, NY on the 5th of August, 1922. She graduated from Smithtown Branch High School on 6/24/1940. She earned a degree in Nursing from the Long Island College Hospital School of Nursing on 11/11/1944. Dorothea became a registered nurse on 2/14/1945 and worked as a nurse in several states before she retired.

Dorothea continued to call Jack the love of her life decades after he had passed. A widow of nearly 50 years, Dorothea was fiercely independent and only required part-time caregivers after she had reached her late 90s.

Dorothea adopted her daughter Peggy in 1950 and her son George in 1952, both as infants.

Dorothea was baptized and confirmed in the Roman Catholic Church, sang in the choir, and served as a Eucharistic minister for many decades. She continued to regularly attend weekly Mass in person until only a few years ago and even then she made sure to virtually attend Mass while sitting in her living room.

Dorothea loved to be outside and spent many hours feeding the birds and squirrels in her backyard while watching the Santa Barbara sunset.

Dorothea was preceded in death by parents T. Edward Ellis and Mary May Beck, husband Perle Steele Johnson, brothers William Ellis and wife Josephine, Henry Ellis and wife Viola, Edward Ellis and wife Joyce, sister Cecilia Lloyd and husband Mort, son-in-law Jim Prentice, and many friends from all walks of life.

Dorothea is succeeded by daughter Margaret “Peggy” Prentice, son George Johnson, granddaughters Melinda Bolles and husband John, and Nyenna Prentice, grandson Justin Prentice, great-granddaughters Miriam (Molly) Bolles and Harley Bolles, greatgrandson Jacob Bolles, many nieces and nephews and their families and countless friends of all ages and interests.

Holiday decor graces the entrance to Alisal Ranch.

TURNER

Continued from Page B1

by Mr. Turner exclusively for the ranch will be available to the shoppers. In addition, the pop-up will offer complimentary coffee and pastries in the morning and beer in the afternoon, custom giftwrapping and more.

A fourth-generation Californian, Mr. Turner grew up in the San Francisco bay area, surrounded by a large extended family.

Deeply rooted in his California heritage, he spent many weekends at the family ranch in Northern California, where they would ride horses, raise cattle and cook scrumptious meals.

Indeed, home is where Mr. Turner’s taste for adventure was born and something he expresses through his travels and eclectic lifestyle.

He graduated from St. Mary’s College of California with a degree in business, then lived in France and Italy, where he studied the areas’ language, art history and honed his culinary skills.

After moving to Los Angeles, Mr. Turner merged his greatest passions — design, travel and food — into his eponymous shop.

Located on Melrose Avenue, the store has become an expression of his years traveling, a source for the country’s leading interior designers, as well as stylish individuals from coast to coast.

His parties, products and designs have been featured in major national and regional publications including Architectural Digest, Domino, Vogue, Elle Decor, House Beautiful, Food & Wine, C Magazine, New York Times and Los Angeles Times.

Mr. Turner is also special projects editor at Architectural Digest and contributing editor at C Magazine.

His book, “I Love California: Live, Eat and Entertain the West Coast Way,” published in 2018, is a love letter to his home state.

“I drove up and down Highway 1, from the redwoods of northern San Francisco to the mountains of the Sierra Nevada to the beaches of Southern California, collecting simple recipes for California comfort food, like my family’s Cioppino, Marinated Tri-tip Steak, Mexican Chocolate Cake and more. I have also included my tips for entertaining, featured alongside never-beforeseen interiors,” said Mr. Turner.

“The recipes and decor are inspired by my home state, but really it’s a state of mind.

Whether you are entertaining friends and dining with family, or just wishing to visit the sundappled coast, now you can create this dreamy California lifestyle anywhere.” email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

A holiday pork roast adds to the festivities.

FYI Rates for the “Country Christmas’’ workshop from Nov. 30 to Dec. 2 at Alisal Ranch, 1054 Alisal Road in Solvang, start at $1,576/night (+taxes/fees) for double occupancy. Reservations for the two-night package can be booked at alisal.com/ experiences/nathan-turners-holiday-workshop.

This package is for adults 18 years and older. Tickets can be purchased by the general public, overnight guests and Alisal Ranch Signature Club members.

Diversions HOROSCOPE s PUZZLES

SUDOKU

Thought for Today

Tribune Content Agency Tuesday, November 22, 2022

you bid one spade and he tries two diamonds. What do you say?

ANSWER: Partner’s “fourth suit” bid doesn’t promise great diamonds, just a good hand and uncertainty. Bid two hearts, showing your three-card support. With K 10 8 4, A 2, 7 3 2, A K 7 5, I personally would bid 2NT, but some players would be reluctant to bid notrump without a diamond stopper.

North dealer N-S vulnerable NORTH { K 10 8 4 x A 6 2 z 7 3 y A K 7 5

NINE TRICKS “I shifted to a diamond,” East said.

“South won, forced out the ace of spades and had nine tricks. If partner grabs the ace on the first spade and leads another heart, he sets up my suit while I have the queen of spades as an entry. He wouldn’t admit his error.”

I think West’s correct defense was indicated. South could still make 3NT only with double-dummy play.

He could win the second heart, cash his minor-suit winners and exit with a heart. In the end, East would have to lead from the queen of spades.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: { K 10 8 4 x A 6 2 z 7 3 y A K 7 5. You open one club, your partner responds one heart,

WEST { A 7 3 x 8 5 z J 9 8 4 y Q 10 8 3

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.

DAILY BRIDGE “I’ve heard you say,” a club player remarked, “that going over your results, good and bad, after a game is a way to improve.”

“For me, the postmortem was one of the pleasures of playing,” I said.

“Well, my partner will discuss the deals, but his ‘discussion’ is more like a filibuster. He won’t admit a mistake.”

My friend was today’s East. His partner led the eight of hearts against 3NT: deuce, jack, king. South then led the nine of spades: three, four, queen.

HOROSCOPE ARIES — Friends or a group could bring new and exciting information your way, perhaps involving career or educational opportunities. You might explore combining artistic talents with modern technology. Invitations to related social events could follow.

World leaders agree on vaccine passports for international travel

By BETHANY BLANKLEY THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

KENNETH SONG / NEWS-PRESS

The moon rises behind palm trees on Cabrillo Boulevard in Santa Barbara on Saturday.

(The Center Square) – President Joe Biden signed a G20 Bali Leaders’ Declaration agreeing to adopt vaccine passports to “facilitate” all international travel.

Paragraph 23 of the declaration pertains to “facilitating seamless international travel” by pledging to commit to international dialogue and collaboration to establish a “trusted global digital health network that should capitalize and build on the success of the existing standard and digital COVID-19 certificates.”

The White House states it supports “the WHO mRNA Vaccine Technology Transfer hub” as well as other tracing programs used throughout the world designed to share technology, joint research and joint production of vaccines, “including enhanced cooperation among developing countries.” It also acknowledges “the importance of shared technical standards and verification methods, under the framework of the IHR (2005), to facilitate seamless international travel, interoperability, and recognizing digital solutions and nondigital solutions, including proof of vaccinations.”

Establishing a global health tracing and vaccine passport system is important as an alternative to prevent a future global socio-economic shutdown that could occur as a result of a future pandemic the world leaders say they anticipate. To facilitate this, the White House said, “We support continued international dialogue and collaboration on the establishment of trusted global digital health networks as part of the efforts to strengthen prevention and response to future pandemics, that should capitalize and build on the success of the existing standards and digital COVID-19 certificates.”

In a separate update, the G20 leaders affirm their commitment to “move towards interoperability of

systems including mechanisms that validate proof of vaccination, whilst respecting the sovereignty of national health policies, and relevant national regulations such as personal data protection and data-sharing.”

Their declaration followed a B20 Summit at which a similar sentiment was expressed. At it, Indonesia Minister of Health Budi Sadikin proposed creating “a digital certificate acknowledged by WHO” to restrict and regulate international travel.

“If you have been vaccinated or tested properly, you can move around so for the next pandemic instead of stopping the movement of people 100% and [stopping] the economy globally, you can still provide some movement of the people,” he said.

Indonesia has agreed to do this, he said, and will submit its plan to be implemented globally “at the next World Health Assembly as the revision to international health regulation,” he said.

Similarly, in August 2021, the WHO published a 99-page “guidance document for countries and implementing partners on the technical requirements for developing digital information systems for issuing standards-based interoperable digital certificates for COVID-19 vaccination status … for the purposes of … proof of vaccination.” It states, “a health pass based solely on individual vaccination status may increase the risk of disease spread.”

Also involved in the G20 and B20 summits was Klaus Schwab, chair of the World Economic Forum, and architect of its “Great Reset.” In his book, “COVID-19: The Great Reset,” he suggests the socio-economic losses caused by lockdowns presented an “opportunity” to create the “new world order” he envisions.

Mr. Schwab, who attended the G20 and B20 summits, said in his B20 keynote address, “What we have to confront is a deep, systemic and structural re-structuring of our world.

And this will take some time. And the

world will look differently after we have gone through this transition process.”

Mark Steyn with GBNews says it’s obvious from the world leaders’ remarks that they’ve “taken this virus and the world they built in response to it to make it permanent.”

Of the declaration, Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said, “Digital health or vaccine passports along with tracking and tracing apps present a serious threat to freedom.

Vaccine passports and tracking apps are about collecting data and control.

The vaccine passport is being promoted worldwide to limit a person’s ability to leave home, work, shop, dine, travel, attend a public event, or even worship.

COVID is being used to advance this dangerous threat to freedom. We must never accept vaccine passports or tracking apps as the new normal.

The implications for freedom are significant.”

President Biden signed the declaration 19 months after Jeff Zients, the White House COVID-19 Response Team leader, vowed no such policy would ever be implemented in the U.S. In April 2021, he said, “Let me be clear that the government is not now, nor will we be supporting a system that requires Americans to carry a credential. There’ll be no federal vaccination database, no federal mandate requiring everyone to obtain a single vaccination credential.”

Six months later, the CDC implemented a COVID-19 vaccination requirement, still in effect, for all nonU.S. citizens who aren’t immigrants “(not a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, lawful permanent resident, or traveling to the United States on an immigrant visa)” prohibiting entry to the U.S. by air unless they “show proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19.”

The policy doesn’t apply to the millions who’ve illegally entered the U.S. from over 150 countries through the southern border since President Biden’s been in office.
