Siding with ExxonMobil Chambers of commerce throughout Santa Barbara County blast supervisors’ decision to deny trucking plan

Federal judge will sentence Chauvin to 20 to 25 years By MARY STROKA THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) – U.S. District Judge Paul Magnuson has accepted Derek Chauvin’s plea agreement and will sentence him to 20 to 25 years in prison, according to a one-page order issued Wednesday. “At the change-of-plea hearing, the Court deferred accepting Defendant’s plea pending issuance of the preliminary presentence investigation report,” Judge Magnuson said. “That report has now issued, and acceptance of the plea is appropriate.” Mr. Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer, will serve the federal sentence concurrently with the 22.5-year state sentence issued in June 2021. He was convicted in April of second-degree unintentional murder in the May 25, 2020, death of George Floyd that a bystander caught on videotape. Mr. Chauvin is appealing the state conviction. The brief his attorneys submitted April 25 said, among other arguments, that Mr. Chauvin’s motion to change venue should have been

Santa Barbara County chambers of commerce are warning of potential economic ramifications after the Board of Supervisors denied an ExxonMobil trucking plan in March. In a 3-2 vote earlier this year, the Santa

Barbara County Board of Supervisors nixed Exxon’s request to truck oil along area roads because of potential unmitigable safety impacts. Exxon had requested a development plan revision to install and operate a new oil tanker truck loading rack at the Santa Ynez Unit processing facility and transportation of crude

Some supervisors, including Chair Joan Hartmann, expressed concerns about the environmental impact of Exxon’s project. But in a recent joint letter, the Santa Barbara County chambers of commerce — which includes the Buellton Chamber, Lompoc Valley Chamber, Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber, Santa Maria Valley Chamber and Solvang Chamber — urged local leadership to work with oil companies to ensure the community has a reliable local energy resource, can develop good-paying jobs and Please see EXXONMOBIL on A4

Republicans raise questions about Biden allies receiving government contracts By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE (The Center Square) – Republicans on the U.S. Oversight Committee have begun an inquiry into why multiple allies of President Joe Biden have received federal contracts that are now under scrutiny. The lawmakers sent a letter to Tae Johnson, acting director of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, demanding documentation and written communication around an $87 million contract that was awarded to house illegal immigrants. An Inspector General report later said that the contractor wasted $17 million because hotel rooms went unused. “We write to express alarm at the potential waste of millions in taxpayer money and abuse of the contracting process by U.S. Immigration and Customs

Enforcement (ICE) officials,” the letter, sent this week, said. “According to a recent Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Inspector General (OIG) report, ICE officials bypassed the ordinary competitive process to award a large, sole source $87 million contract and then wasted at least $17 million of taxpayer money because hotel rooms intended for migrant families sat empty and were mostly unused. “Not only have the Biden Administration’s policies exacerbated the crisis on our border, it now appears the Administration is exploiting the crisis to reward its political allies with sole source contracts,” the letter added. In addition to the reported waste, Republicans are questioning how the contract was awarded and if any wrongdoing occurred. According to Republicans

the taxpayers is unacceptable. Unfortunately, these problems are not surprising given the potential conflicts of interest inherent in this particular contract,” the letter said. “A report has now surfaced that he is interviewing to return to ICE as its Chief of Staff. The revolving door appears to be quite lucrative for those who benefit from the Administration’s mismanagement of the border.”

accepted, there was prejudice, jurors demonstrated bias against Mr. Chauvin and the judge allowed cumulative opinion on the use of force. Mr. Chauvin pleaded guilty Dec. 15 to federal charges that he abused his authority to violate George Floyd’s rights in December 2021, following a plea deal for prosecutors to seek a 25year sentence instead of life in prison. Pre-sentence investigations are still underway for the other three ex-officers convicted for charges regarding the murder, J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao. They were charged in February in federal court with failing to provide medical aid to Mr. Floyd, who allegedly tried to spend a counterfeit $20 bill. Mr. Thao and Mr. Keung were also charged with failing to intervene in Mr. Chauvin’s unreasonable use of force. Mr. Lane had asked Mr. Floyd to reposition. The three are due for a state court trial beginning June 13 on charges of aiding and abetting Mr. Chauvin in the murder of Mr. Floyd, AP reported. They rejected plea deals regarding the state charges.

The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors homed in on access to childcare for infants and toddlers this week as it considered how to allocate $2 million in federal pandemic relief money. First 5 Santa Barbara County, which is focused on early childhood development and family support programs, told the board this week its ideas for how to allocate the funds for its Emergency Child Care Initiative. First 5 recommended either providing direct support to households, giving funding to small businesses or related industries or developing a request for a proposal on how to allocate funding. After the presentation, the board unanimously agreed to work with First 5 in developing an RFP for the funds with a focus on infant and toddler childcare. “I believe we have a structural

problem,” said Chair Joan Hartmann. “We have $2 million, and if it just goes to individual family support, that money will be gone, but we will not have addressed a major structural problem that faces all employers and families in this county.” There are nearly 72,000 children (ages birth to 12) in Santa Barbara County, First 5 estimated in its presentation to the board. Before COVID-19, more than 46,750 needed some type of childcare outside of the home because of their parents’ work schedules during the week, according to First 5 Santa Barbara County. There are about 18,000 known licensed and licensedexempt spaces for childcare in the county. The strongest need is seen among infants and toddlers: There are only about 1,627 spaces available for the 9,967 children who need care, according to First 5 Santa Please see CHILDCARE on A2

Mr. Lorenzen-Strait served on the Biden-Harris transition team and is a former official at ICE … The OIG’s investigation found that Endeavors sent an unsolicited proposal to ICE to house migrant families despite having no prior experience in providing these services.” This latest Biden relationship is one of several under scrutiny. The lawmakers have also launched an inquiry into a major Democratic donor who received a spot on a White House council of advisors and another donor who received a major loan from a federal agency.

SB museum returns Chumash remains, objects NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Following six months of collaboration with representatives of the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians, the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History curatorial staff returned thousands of items, including human remains and associated funerary objects, to the Santa Ynez Band in April. According to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act is a federal law that provides a process for federal agencies and museums to repatriate or transfer from their collections certain Native American cultural items including human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects and objects of cultural patrimony, to lineal descendants, and to American Indian tribes, Alaska Native Corporations and Native Hawaiian organizations. After receiving the NAGPRA claim in October 2021, museum curatorial staff inventoried and packed all of the requested materials in an appropriate manner given the cultural sensitivities associated with these human remains and items found with them in grave sites. The oldest remains to be repatriated were from the Arlington Springs Man, which consist of three human bones discovered on Santa Rosa Island by museum archaeologist Phil Orr in 1959. While excavating nearby, Mr. Orr discovered the bones, which, due to erosion, were visible in a stream bank. These remains have been radiocarbon dated to 13,000 years old, making them the oldest human remains yet found in North America.

Kenneth Kahn, tribal chairman for the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians, said, “These items have come home to our tribe, and it allows us to do the important work of repatriation and reburial. We continue to have a close working relationship with the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History and consider it to be a collaborative partner in the community.” “The museum has been honored to care for this important cultural heritage for many years and now finds it deeply satisfying that we can transfer custody back to the Chumash community,” added Luke J. Swetland, museum president and CEO. While NAGPRA facilitates repatriation for federally recognized tribes like the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians, other Chumash bands are recognized under the broader state law, CAL-NAGPRA. SBMNH looks forward to working with California native communities to ensure that human remains and associated items are appropriately restored to their rightful ancestors. Mr. Swetland explained why the natural history museum has human remains and associated funerary objects in its collections. “In 1922, museum director Ralph Hoffman hired David Banks Rogers to establish a department of anthropology. Mr. Rogers and his successor, Mr. Orr, conducted extensive research on the Channel Islands and the Santa Barbara coast, documenting the sites of Chumash villages and burial sites. Items were excavated, precisely documented and brought to the museum for further study. “However, the museum’s practice of excavation without Chumash monitoring came to an end in the 1970s when heightened cultural sensitivities began to call this kind of

activity into question.” Mr. Swetland went on to discuss the museum’s collaboration with Chumash bands in the Santa Barbara region. “In 1989, the museum established a California Indian Advisory Council comprising members of local Chumash bands. The council advises the museum on all aspects of its work, e.g., collecting, research, exhibition and education related to Chumash life and culture. No scientific analysis is conducted without the express permission of the Chumash band with whom the ancestral remains or artifacts are associated. “Over the past 40 years, Dr. John Johnson, Ph.D., museum curator of anthropology, has conducted significant research based on the museum’s collections. He worked with other academic researchers to facilitate appropriate access and study of the museum’s collections consistent with the best practices for this kind of study established by professional entities such as the American Alliance of Museums and the Society for American Archaeology. “A significant part of Dr. Johnson’s work has involved engaging with numerous Chumash individuals to study their cultural heritage as a way to enlarge their understanding of themselves and their community,” concluded Mr. Swetland.

Breaking with tradition Three Danish Maids to preside over annual Solvang festival Sept. 16-18 By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

For the first time in the celebration’s 85 years, three Danish Maids will preside over this year’s Solvang Danish Days, which returns after a two-year pause with a three-day event weekend, Sept. 16 through 18. Isabella Lopez has been named as 2020 Danish Maid, with Kayla Bandel named as 2021 Danish Maid. Applications for the 2022 role are currently being accepted with a submission deadline of May 18. “In an unprecedented move, due mainly to the festival’s two-year, pandemic-induced hiatus, the Solvang Danish Days Foundation decided that it was only fair to give the first two, very deserving young ladies their chance at Danish Maid, even though the festival could not take place in 2020 and 2021,” said Brenda Anderson, board member of the Solvang Danish Days Foundation and Solvang Danish Days 2022 co-chair. Since its modest beginnings in 1936, when a one-day celebration commemorating the 25th anniversary of Solvang’s 1911 founding was conceived, Danish Days has evolved into a weekend-long festival showcasing the village’s heritage. The annual event, which celebrates the town’s Danish roots, includes authentic food, music, dancing, parades, live entertainment and family activities. Serving as the 2021 Danish Maid, Ms. Bandel will also make Danish Days history as the oldest Danish Maid to hold the title, which is more traditionally bestowed upon a high school senior. At the age of 32, Ms. Bandel, the oldest daughter of Pete and Debbie Bandel, is granddaughter of Howard Petersen, who was born and raised in Solvang and was one of the Solvang Danish Days Foundation’s cofounders. Mr. Petersen and his wife, Linda, were members of the Danish Brotherhood and Danish Sisterhood and also the Solvang Dania and Ms. Bandel’s aunt, Brenda Anderson, a former Danish Maid, currently serves as Danish Days co-chair “Although I do not live in Solvang, Danish Days was always my favorite ‘holiday’ and celebration, from the time that I was a little girl. Every third weekend in September, I headed to Solvang to fulfill my Danish duties, beginning as a child when I helped with blowing up balloons for the children’s parade and passed out jam and juice at the æbleskiver breakfasts,” said Ms. Bandel. “Every year since I entered high school, I have baked æbleskiver with my family, assisted with parade traffic, delivered Sunday’s breakfast to the Atterdag Village retirement community and have contributed to the event’s

clean-up and breakdown. Never because I was told to do so, but because I want to ensure that this celebration continues … forever.” The decision to name Ms. Bandel the 2021 Danish Maid was based on her years of service to the event and, like many of Solvang’s Danish Maids, due to the fact that her Danish Solvang roots run deep. Ms. Bandel continued, “After the past two years that we’ve all experienced, being named Danish Maid 2021 means the world to me. It’s the best ‘award’ for making it through all of this. Many of my most favorite memories come from Danish Days, like being in the baking area with my grandma and listening to her laugh and tap her knitting needle to the music of the accordion playing nearby. “She sang along to the tunes while my uncle walked around the baking area assisting all of the bakers. I could scan the baking tent and find my whole family and that, to me, is better than Christmas or Thanksgiving.” Isabella Lopez, named Danish Maid 2020, is the great-granddaughter of Arne and Gerda Larsen, who immigrated to Canada from Denmark in the 1950s. The couple decided to return to Denmark, first embarking on U.S. travels, including a 1961 visit to the quaint village of Solvang, which resulted in their permanent residence in the town. Mr. Larsen was part of the Danish Brotherhood, and Mrs. Larsen opened a fabric shop in Solvang, called Gerda’s Yardage. The couple raised two daughters and a son — Jette, Birgitte (“Gitte”), and Uffe (“Jack”) — in the Santa Ynez Valley, and each of their children remained in the region, starting families of their own. Jette, Ms. Lopez’s paternal grandmother (whom she called “Mormor”), married and had four sons who all stayed near their hometown, each enjoying their Danish heritage and the family traditions. Gitte took over the yardage shop and combined it with her mother-in-law’s business,

Iron Art. She later became the 77th annual Solvang Danish Days Parade Grand Marshal. Jack married the 1968 Danish Days Maid, Marianne Ullum Larsen, and together they owned the Mollekroen, a now-shuttered Danish restaurant in Solvang. “From family traditions like our Christmas Eve celebrations, recurring every year at Morfar and Mormor Larsen’s house, to learning to cook and bake Danish meals and treats with Mormor or Farmor Jette, whom we called Famy, I have loved and grown from every encounter with the Danish spirit and that of Solvang and its inhabitants,” said Ms. Lopez, 2020 Danish Maid. Ms. Lopez, now 18 years old, thinks back to age 11 when she started to help at her family’s store, Iron Art, during the annual festivities. She began by greeting people at the shop door dressed in her Danish costume and progressed to running the cash register and restocking throughout the year as a part-time job, but her favorite work experiences were during Danish Days. “During Danish Days, the whole town transformed from an already-lovely and aweinspiring village to a whole new world filled with people and pieces of Danish history. It felt like stepping into a bit of the past. Seeing the joy, which the festival brought to the many tourists, was always exciting as it reminded me of just how important Solvang is to the rest of the world,” said Ms. Lopez. She continued, “I want to do my part to keep this unique experience alive. In becoming a Danish Days Maid, it helps me to carry on the traditions of the past generations. As the older members of my own beloved family pass on, those who have taught me their ways and opened their hearts to so many, I see how easy it can be for the new generations to forget and displace the many unique and inspiring elements, and many hours of precious time, Please see MAIDS on A4

TRAFFIC, CRIME AND FIRE BLOTTER Man arrested for alleged marijuana, weapons violations SANTA MARIA — Angel Reynoso-Juarez, 28, was arrested Thursday on suspicion of several alleged violations related to illegal marijuana sales and weapons violations. The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office said it executed a search warrant at Mr. ReynosoJuarez’s home in Santa Maria Thursday. The office said its Cannabis Compliance Team had concluded a “proactive investigation” into Mr. ReynosoJuarez allegedly selling marijuana illegally in the Orcutt area.

Police said they found more than two pounds of processed marijuana, more than $80,000 in cash and multiple firearms, including two illegally-possessed assault weapons, at the 28-yearold’s house. One of the firearms was considered to be a “ghost gun” as it did not have a serial number. Mr. Reynoso-Juarez was booked at the Northern Branch Jail on suspicion of misdemeanor possession of marijuana for sale, misdemeanor transportation of marijuana for sale, felony conspiracy, felony possession of an assault weapon and felony manufacturing a short barreled rifle. He was arrested without incident, the Sheriff’s Office said. — Kaitlyn Schallhorn

reduce greenhouse gas emissions through producing oil in a clean environment. “The economic vitality of our county lost out to a vague worldview policy last month,” the chambers said in the letter. “The vote to deny ExxonMobil a temporary trucking permit has broader implications for businesses throughout our county. Any business looking to add a trucking or transportation plan for their company could be impacted. Santa Barbara is known as a tough place to do business.” The three supervisors who voted against the proposal cited environmental and safety concerns. “Is this really the direction to go when we are facing a climate crisis? For my way of thinking, that is just not the case,” said Supervisor Hartmann at the time. “I will support denial of the

project simply because I cannot see how the safety impacts are mitigateable,” Supervisor Das Williams said during the March meeting. “While I validate all of our political opinions and where we’re coming from in life, what I don’t validate is our driving habits as a society.” Supervisors Steve Lavagnino and Bob Nelson voted in support of the project, arguing the proposal would have helped constituents in their districts in northern Santa Barbara County. Representatives for various chambers spoke during the March hearing in support of Exxon’s project. In their joint letter, the chambers of commerce questioned why the board would “deny the opportunity to bring back good-paying jobs and millions of dollars in economic activity, especially in the northern part of the county where both are desperately needed.” email: kschallhorn@newspress.com

NOTIFICACIÓN DE CONCLUSIÓN DE IMPACTO NO SIGNIFICATIVO Y NOTIFICACIÓN DEFINITIVA Y EXPLICACIÓN PÚBLICA DE UNA ACTIVIDAD PROPUESTA EN UN TERRENO ALUVIAL/HUMEDAL Y NOTIFICACIÓN DE LA INTENCIÓN DE SOLICITAR LA LIBERACIÓN DE FONDOS 06 de mayo de 2022 Departamento de Vivienda y Desarrollo Comunitario del Estado de California (State of California Department of Housing and Community Development, HCD), 2020 West El Camino Avenue, Oficina 200, Sacramento, CA 95833, (916) 263-6461 Estas notificaciones deberán satisfacer tres requisitos de procedimientos distintos, pero relacionados, para las actividades que deba emprender el HCD. SOLICITUD PARA LA LIBERACIÓN DE FONDOS: En o alrededor del 24 de mayo de 2022, el HCD enviará una solicitud al Departamento de Vivienda y Desarrollo Urbano (Department of Housing and Urban Develpment, HUD) para la liberación de los fondos de Subvención en Bloque para el Desarrollo Comunitario para la Recuperación ante Desastres (Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery, CDBG-DR) en virtud de la Ley de Derecho Público 115-254, la Ley de Créditos Suplementarios para la Asistencia en caso de Desastres (Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Act) de 2018, y la Ley de Derecho Público 116-20, la Ley de Créditos Suplementarios Adicionales para la Asistencia en caso de Desastres (Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Act) de 2019, en su forma enmendada, para emprender proyectos conocidos como Programa de Subvención en Bloque para el Desarrollo Comunitario para la Recuperación ante Desastres (CDBGDR) y Rehabilitación y Reconstrucción de Viviendas Ocupadas por sus Propietarios (OOR) de 2017 y 2018, con el propósito de suministrar subvenciones principalmente a los propietarios de viviendas de ingresos muy bajos, bajos y moderados, cuya residencia principal haya sido dañada o destruida por un desastre en 2017 o 2018 que ocurrió en los condados de California, entre los que se incluyen: Butte, Lake, Los Angeles, Mendocino, Napa, Nevada, Orange, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Shasta, Sonoma, Ventura, y Yuba. El programa proporcionará asistencia de rehabilitación o reconstrucción a los solicitantes elegibles en base al alcance del daño a sus residencias primarias. La asignación de 2017 para desastres a nivel federal, DR-4344 y DR-4353, es de aproximadamente $47.6 millones y la asignación de 2018 para DR-4382 y DR-4407 es de aproximadamente $205.1 millones. CONCLUSIÓN DE IMPACTO NO SIGNIFICATIVO: El HCD ha determinado que el proyecto no tendrá un impacto significativo en el medioambiente humano. Por lo tanto, no se requiere una Declaración de Impacto Ambiental en virtud de la Ley Nacional de Política Ambiental de 1969 (National Environmental Policy Act, NEPA). Existe información adicional del proyecto en el Registro Ambiental de Revisión (ERR, en inglés). El ERR será puesto a disposición del público para revisión ya sea de manera electrónica o mediante correo de los Estados Unidos. Por favor presente su solicitud por correo electrónico a DR-Enviro@ hcd.ca.gov o por correo de los Estados Unidos al Department of Housing and Community Development, en 2020 West El Camino Ave., Suite 200, Sacramento, CA 95833. El ERR puede verse en línea en el siguiente sitio web: https://www.hcd.ca.gov/ community-development/disaster-recovery-programs.shtml NOTIFICACIÓN DEFINITIVA Y EXPLICACIÓN PÚBLICA DE UNA ACTIVIDAD PROPUESTA EN UNA LLANURA ALUVIAL/ HUMEDAL La presente es para dar aviso de que el HCD realizó una evaluación, como lo exigen los Decretos Ley 11988 y 11990, para determinar el posible efecto que las actividades propuestas por el HCD en los humedales/llanuras aluviales en virtud de la Subvención en Bloque para el Desarrollo Comunitario para la Recuperación ante Desastres (CDBG-DR) y Rehabilitación y Reconstrucción de Viviendas Ocupadas por sus Propietarios (OOR) tendría en el medioambiente humano. El Programa CDBG-DR OOR proporcionará subvenciones a propietarios de viviendas de ingresos muy bajos, bajos y moderados para rehabilitar y reconstruir viviendas dañadas o destruidas por un desastre. La reconstrucción de viviendas se realizará en el lote original de la propiedad, pero no es necesario que esté dentro del espacio original. Las viviendas serán de una o dos plantas y tendrán unas dimensiones que oscilarán entre los 1,100 y los 2,400 pies cuadrados. Se consideraron cuatro alternativas y nuestra decisión es que la única alternativa viable permite ubicar parcialmente el proyecto en la zona de inundación/cerca de humedales Esto se debe a: 1) la necesidad de brindar asistencia por los efectos de los daños causados por los incendios forestales/flujos de escombros; 2) el deseo de no desplazar a los residentes que prefieren seguir estando en su ubicación actual; y 3) la capacidad prevista para mitigar y minimizar los impactos en la salud humana, la propiedad pública y los valores de las llanuras aluviales y los humedales dado que las obras afectarán a viviendas ya existentes en lotes existentes en barrios establecidos. Los archivos medioambientales que documentan el cumplimiento con los pasos del 3 al 6 del Decreto Ley 11988 y 11990 están disponibles para la inspección y revisión pública, a petición de los interesados, en los horarios y lugares indicados en el último párrafo de esta notificación para la recepción de comentarios. Esta actividad no tendrá un impacto significativo en el medioambiente por las siguientes razones. Toda la construcción tendrá lugar en los lotes residenciales establecidos previamente en los que se un desastre de 2017 o 2018 dañó o destruyó una vivienda existente. Siempre que sea posible, el HCD diseñará y modificará la medida propuesta para minimizar los posibles impactos negativos para las vidas y propiedades y preservar los valores beneficiosos proporcionados por las llanuras aluviales y los humedales. Para la rehabilitación y reconstrucción sustancial, el diseño y la construcción cumplirán con todos los códigos de construcción correspondientes y las ordenanzas locales en materia de llanuras aluviales, incluidas las limitaciones a la colocación de rellenos en la llanura aluvial, la elevación de las alturas de los pisos acabados y la utilización de diseños y materiales resistentes a las inundaciones cuando sea necesario. La presente notificación tiene tres propósitos principales. Primero, las personas que pueden verse afectadas por las actividades en las llanuras aluviales/humedales y aquellas que tienen intereses en la protección del medioambiente natural deben recibir la oportunidad de expresar sus preocupaciones y proporcionar información sobre estas áreas. Se alienta a los comentaristas a ofrecer sitios alternativos fuera de la llanura aluvial/humedales, métodos alternativos para cumplir con el mismo propósito del proyecto y métodos para minimizar y mitigar los impactos. Segundo, un programa de notificación pública adecuado puede ser una herramienta educativa pública importante. La difusión de información y la solicitud de comentarios públicos sobre llanuras aluviales/humedales puede facilitar y mejorar los esfuerzos federales para reducir los riesgos e impactos relacionados con la ocupación y modificación de estas áreas especiales. Tercero, en aras de la equidad, cuando el gobierno federal determine que participará en medidas que tengan lugar en llanuras aluviales/humedales, debe informar a quienes puedan correr un riesgo mayor o continuo. COMENTARIOS PÚBLICOS: Cualquier persona, grupo o agencia podrá presentar comentarios escritos al ERR a Jessica Hayes, Jefa de la Sucursal de Recuperación ante Desastres, California Department of Housing and Community Development, 2020 West El Camino Ave., Suite 200, Sacramento, CA 95833 o por correo electrónico a DR-Enviro@hcd.ca.gov. Todos los comentarios recibidos al 23 de mayo de 2022 serán considerados por el HCD antes de autorizar la presentación de una solicitud para liberar fondos. Los comentarios deben referirse a la Notificación Definitiva de 8 pasos del Programa CDBG-DR OOR 2017/2018, NOI/PROF y/o FONSI. CERTIFICACIÓN AMBIENTAL: El HCD certifica al HUD que Jessica Hayes, en su capacidad como Jefa de Sucursal de Recuperación ante Desastres presta consentimiento para aceptar la competencia de los Tribunales Federales si se presenta una acción para exigir las responsabilidades en relación con el proceso de revisión ambiental y que dichas responsabilidades han sido cumplidas. La aprobación por parte del HUD de la certificación cumple sus responsabilidades de acuerdo con NEPA y leyes y autoridades relacionadas y permite al HCD usar fondos del Programa. OBJECIONES A LA LIBERACIÓN DE FONDOS: El HUD aceptará objeciones a la certificación y notificación de la actividad propuesta en una llanura aluvial/humedal del HCD por un período de quince días luego de la fecha anticipada de presentación o su recepción de la solicitud (la que sea más tarde) solo si existe uno de los siguientes fundamentos: (a) la certificación no fue firmada por el Funcionario Certificante del HCD; (b) el HCD ha omitido un paso o no ha tomado una decisión o conclusión requerida por las regulaciones del HUD, detalladas en el Título 24 del CFR parte 58; (c) el receptor del subsidio u otros participantes en el proceso de desarrollo han comprometido fondos, incurrido en costos o llevado a cabo actividades no autorizadas por el Título 24 del CFR Parte 58 antes de la aprobación de la liberación de fondos por parte del HUD; u (d) otra agencia federal que actúa de acuerdo con el Título 40 del CFR Parte 1504 ha presentado una conclusión escrita de que el proyecto no es satisfactorio desde el punto de vista de calidad ambiental. Las objeciones deben prepararse y presentarse de acuerdo con los procedimientos requeridos (Título 24 del CFR Parte 58, Sec. 58.76) y deben ser enviadas a la Oficina Local de San Francisco de la División de Recuperación ante Desastres y Cuestiones Especiales del HUD al siguiente correo electrónico disaster_recovery@hud.gov. Los potenciales objetores deberán contactar al HUD vía correo electrónico para verificar el último día real del período de objeción.

Notice of Public Hearing On 5/17/22 at 9:00 a.m., the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors will consider a contract between the Department of Social Services and Foundation for California Community Colleges for Human Resources, Expanded Subsidized Employment - Career Catalyst services. MAY 6 / 2022 -- 58289 NOTICE OF FINDING OF NO SIGNFICANT IMPACT AND FINAL NOTICE AND PUBLIC EXPLANATION OF A PROPOSED ACTIVITY IN A FLOODPLAIN/WETLAND AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS May 6, 2022 State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), 2020 West El Camino Avenue, Suite 200, Sacramento, CA 95833, (916) 263-6461 These notices shall satisfy three separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by HCD . REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS: On or about May 24, 2022 HCD will submit a request to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the release of Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds under Public Law 115-254 of the Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Act, 2018 and Public Law 116-20 of the Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Act, 2019, as amended, to undertake projects known as 2017 and 2018 CDBG-DR Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation and Reconstruction (OOR) Program for the purpose of providing grants, predominantly, to very-low, low- and moderate-income homeowners whose primary residence was damaged or destroyed by disaster in 2017 or 2018 that occurred in the California counties including: Butte, Lake, Los Angles, Mendocino, Napa, Nevada, Orange, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Shasta, Sonoma, Ventura, and Yuba. The program will provide rehabilitation or reconstruction assistance to eligible applicants based on the extent of damage to their primary residences. The 2017 allocation for Federal disasters DR-4344 and DR-4353 is approximately $47.6 million and the 2018 allocation for DR-4382 and DR-4407 is approximately $205.1 million. FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: HCD has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR). The ERR will be made available to the public for review either electronically or by U.S. mail. Please submit your request by email to DR-Enviro@hcd.ca.gov or via U.S. Mail to California Department of Housing and Community Development, 2020 West El Camino Ave., Suite 200, Sacramento, CA 95833. The ERR can be accessed online at the following website: https://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/ disaster-recovery-programs.shtml FINAL NOTICE AND PUBLIC EXPLANATION OF A PROPOSED ACTIVITY IN A FLOODPLAIN/WETLAND This is to give notice that HCD conducted an evaluation as required by Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, to determine the potential effect that HCD’s proposed activities in the wetlands/floodplain under the Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) – Owner Occupied Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Program (OOR) will have on the human environment. The CDBG-DR OOR Program will provide grants to very low-, low- and moderate-income owneroccupied homeowners to rehabilitate or reconstruct homes damaged or destroyed by disaster. Housing reconstruction will be on the original property lot but is not required to be within the original footprint. Homes will be one or two stories and will have footprints ranging from about 1,100 to 2,400 square feet. Four alternatives were considered, and it is our determination that the only viable alternative allows for partially locating the project in the flood zone/near wetlands. This is due to: 1) the need to provide relief from the effects of wildfire/debris flow damage; 2) the desire to not displace residents who prefer to remain at their current location; and 3) the expected ability to mitigate and minimize impacts on human health, public property, and floodplain/wetland values since all rehabilitation and reconstruction work will involve previously existing homes on existing lots in established neighborhoods. Environmental files that document compliance with steps 3 through 6 of Executive Order 11988 and 11990, are available for public inspection and review upon request at the times and location delineated in the last paragraph of this notice for receipt of comments. This activity will have no significant impact on the environment for the following reasons. All construction is taking place on previously established residential lots where an existing house was damaged or destroyed by a 2017 or 2018 disaster. Where practicable, HCD will design and modify the proposed action to minimize the potential adverse impacts to lives and property and preserve the beneficial values provided by floodplains and wetlands. For substantial rehabilitation and reconstruction, design and construction will adhere to all applicable building codes and local floodplain ordinances including any limitations on placing fill in the floodplain, raising finished floor elevations, and using flood resistant design and materials where required. There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in f l oodplains/wetlands and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas. Commenters are encouraged to offer alternative sites outside of the floodplain/wetland, alternative methods to serve the same project purpose, and methods to minimize and mitigate impacts. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information and request for public comment about floodplains/wetlands can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks and impacts associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in floodplains/wetlands, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to Jessica Hayes Disaster Recovery Branch Chief, California Department of Housing and Community Development, 2020 West El Camino Ave., Suite 200, Sacramento, CA 95833 or by email to DR-Enviro@hcd.ca.gov. All comments received by May 23, 2022 will be considered by HCD prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should reference 2017/2018 CDBG-DR OOR Program 8-Step Final Notice, NOI/RROF, and or FONSI. ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION: HCD certifies to HUD that Jessica Hayes in her capacity as Disaster Recovery Branch Chief consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows HCD to use Program funds. OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS: HUD will accept objections to HCD’s certification and notice of proposed activity in a floodplain/ wetland for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of HCD; (b) HCD has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to HUD’s Disaster Recovery and Special Issues Division San Francisco Field Office at email disaster_recovery@hud.gov. Potential objectors should contact HUD via email to verify the actual last day of the objection period.

Westmont baseball ends GSAC Tournament run By RON SMITH WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

After starting off the GSAC Tournament 2-0, #6 Westmont Baseball (42-11), dropped two games on Wednesday and bowed out of the double-elimination tournament. In the morning, Westmont fell to #15 Hope International (40-13) by a score of 12-5 before losing in the evening to William Jessup (28-25) by a score of 17-10. “It certainly was not the outcome we wanted from this tournament,” acknowledged Westmont head coach Robert Ruiz. “I believe in our guys. It’s been a crazy couple of weeks. Being in the middle of our finals this week is tough. We had guys taking finals between games today. While I don’t want to make that an excuse, it is also a reality.” Against the Royals, Westmont scored a single run in each of the first four innings. However,

Westmont will host an NAIA Opening Round Tournament at Russ Carr Field beginning Monday, May 16. The other tournament participants won’t be announced until Thursday, May 12. the Royals matched the score by producing four runs in the second inning, three off a home run by Omar Veloz. In the sixth, Chase Hanson put the Royals up 6-4 with a two-run home run to right field. Westmont pulled within one run (6-5) in the top of the eighth when Simon Reid singled to left to drive in Brady Renck from third. A sixrun bottom of the eighth, however, proved to be more than enough for Hope International to claim the victory. Westmont left 14 men on base over nine innings, 10 of whom were in scoring position. In the nightcap, Westmont scored one in the first and two in the second to take a 3-2 lead after

DHANENS, Valerie C.

Valerie C. Dhanens passed away on March 30, 2022, in Vacaville, California. Born Valerie Anne Consigli on January 9, 1938, she was the eldest daughter of three girls born to Alfred Dante Consigli and Violet M. (née Boudreau) Consigli in Nashua, New Hampshire. She is survived by her son James Reed Burnham, Jr. of Goleta, CA, her son Douglas John Burnham and daughter-in-law Christine Marie Trost of Berkeley, CA, and her grandsons James (Jake) Reed Burnham III of Albuquerque, NM, and Reed Frederick Trost Burnham of Berkeley, CA. Valerie passed peacefully in hospice care upon receiving a dire diagnosis of abdominal cancer in early March, the final blow in a long line of cancers that she battled with determined composure. For the past two-and-a-half years, Valerie had been a resident of Pacifica Senior Living in Vacaville, California, a residential care facility for people with dementia and memory loss, where she was loved and cared for by staff who appreciated her fun-loving sense of humor, ready sassiness and easy sophistication. Even with her short-term memory loss over the past several years, Valerie was always present and engaged with the people around her and, thankfully, maintained her sense of self and the memory of her friends and loved ones until her passing. Growing up in Milford, New Hampshire, Valerie was a creative and outgoing child. During a bout of polio that kept her out of school for an extended period of time, she learned dressmaking from her maternal Grandmother Anna Boudreau. She also developed skills as a costume designer and gourmet cook and was a talented young athlete. Her father, Alfred, who was the son of Italian immigrants, played the trombone in a brass band for pleasure while working as a skilled craftsperson in the ship building, stone cutting and wood working industries. Her Mother, Violet, was the daughter of French Canadian immigrants and was an elementary school teacher, a flea market aficionado and an avid card player. As an adult, Valerie was both beautiful and professionally accomplished. A model throughout her life, she represented her state of Maine in the 1965 Mrs. America pageant. One of her formative professional experiences happened right out of college when she became a social worker, providing support to poor African American women in rural Georgia in the late 1950s racially segregated South. Later, she dedicated her professional life to working to address gender and racial inequality within two major corporations – John Deere & Company and Nestle – where she worked as a corporate training and organizational development manager, advocating for a more team-based approach to leadership and giving women and people of color a voice within corporate business structures. After earning her M.A. in Organizational Development and Ph.D. in Human and Organizational Systems from The Fielding Institute in Santa Barbara, CA, she worked for nine years in the public sector, including as a training and evaluation consultant for the Santa Barbara County Workforce Investment Act Program, developing curricula used to train and prepare unemployed individuals for new jobs, and linking job seekers with employers. Valerie had myriad friends and mentored many women throughout her career, inspiring them to reach higher, get more education, and believe in themselves. She loved to have fun, whether listening to live Blues music or shopping for clothes with friends. Her vibrant presence will be missed by the many people whose lives she touched.

PAYNE, David Herman

David Herman Payne 89, of Santa Barbara, CA, passed away on April 29, 2022. He was a kind and loving husband to his dear, late Ruayne for 70 years, a father of four, a grandfather of twenty, a great-grandfather of fifty-one, a great-great-grandfather this week, and a loyal friend to many more. They will remember him for teaching and being an example of integrity, work ethic, and leadership along with an unshakeable commitment to his family and faith. David was born at home on September 17, 1932 in Ogden, Utah and weighing over 10 pounds. He was Hannah Valate Pickett and Herman Matthew Payne’s second child of six. At a young age, he fought off a rare autoimmune disease called rheumatic fever, which was often fatal at the time. For treatment, his parents moved to Arizona for the summer and had him lie on a mattress out in the open yard in order to “bake” out the disease. Unable to walk, his Mom would carry him on her back. Miraculously, he made a full recovery. David began working in his Dads grocery store, Payne’s Market, at 12 years old. David often recalled his father’s business lessons and lived by them in his own life. The customer is always right. At the end of the workday, it’s better to be under on your cash balance at the register than over—if you’re over, then you cheated someone, his father told him. In high school Dave joined the ROTC and planned on serving in the armed forces but was deemed ineligible due to flat feet and scoliosis. His ROTC Drill team was part of a competition in the Midwest against the Canadians where his team was victorious. It was said that you could hear his commanding voice from around the block. During his senior year of high school David met a high school junior named Ruayne Herbert. Soon after they met however, David’s parents sold their grocery store and moved to California, prompting David to propose to the 16-year-old Ruayne. She said yes and parents agreed. They married in Ogden, Utah and moved to Lynwood, CA. Their first child, Christi, was born a year later. Christi’s allergies caused by air pollution caused them to move to Santa Barbara, CA where they lived the rest of their lives. The young couple had three more children--Sherrie, David and Deena. While he did not have a college degree, David made up for it with hard work, savvy, and honesty. He sold vacuum cleaners and installed and repaired juke boxes. In 1952, David started Muzicraft Sound Engineering where he worked for the next seventy years. While he had numerous opportunities to work for higher-profile employers with larger salaries, he and Ruayne felt strongly that their family was their priority. Always wanting to remain useful, David was never content with the idea of retiring. The Friday before he passed, he was sitting in his office still working after others left for home. After family, David’s top priority was his commitment to the Savior. He loved serving in many capacities in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints from Sunday School Teacher, Bishop, Stake President, Ventura Mission Counselor, Temple Worker and finally Temple Sealer. He was instrumental in helping build the local chapel where his funeral will be held in Santa Barbara. David treasured his time working in the LDS Los Angeles Temple. At 89 years old, he was their oldest sealer and had the opportunity to marry and seal over half of his grandchildren and their spouses for time and all eternity. After his sweet Ruayne passed last year, his dedication to the Lord drove him forward. When various illnesses struck him, he’d always dedicate himself to getting better by noting that “I need to get back to the temple and to work.” He even went to physical therapy specifically so he could stand longer to perform marriages in the temple, which he was able to do several times in the weeks before he died. David was preceded in death by both his parents, his sisters Ilene Critchfield and Joann Ross, his brothers Thomas Payne and Douglas Payne, his sweetheart Ruayne Herbert Payne, and his daughter Sherrie Payne Ellison. He is survived by his brother Gary Barton Payne (Sherma), his daughter Christi (Bill), son David Herbert Payne (Annette) and daughter Deena Lee Lockhart (Ralph). He knew and was well loved by many of his posterity and loved being an important part of their lives. Services will be held this Friday at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Santa Barbara CA at 2107 Santa Barbara St., Santa Barbara, CA 93105 at 10 AM for all who would like to attend. The link below will also be available for those who would like to watch the service remotely. https://youtu.be/94qtDhiRqT8 The family requests that in lieu of flowers, people so desiring can send donations to the LDS Humanitarian fund https://philanthropies.churchofjesuschrist.org/humanitarianservices

two innings of play. Robbie Haw led-off the bottom of the first with a triple for the Warriors before Renck sent a deep ball to center field to bring home Haw on a sacrifice fly. In the second, Ryan Desaegher doubled to right field, driving in Paul Mezurashi and Parker O’Neil. In the bottom of the third, Westmont stretched its advantage over William Jessup to 4-2 when Josh Rego doubled down the right field line, driving in Renck. However, Jessup scored three in the fourth, five in the six and another in the seventh to go up 11-4. The Warriors of Westmont did not give up, however. In both the seventh and eighth innings,

Westmont scored three runs and brought the potential tying or goahead run to the plate a total of four times. In the seventh, Mezurashi led off with a triple to right center. Both Desaegher and Haw were hit by pitches to load the bases before Renck drove a sacrifice fly to left for the first run of the inning. Then, Reid singled down the right field line to score Desaegher and make the score 116. After Thomas Rudinsky became the third batter in the inning to be hit by a pitch, Rego was walked with the bases loaded, making it an 11-7 game. Westmont would leave the bases full of Warriors, however, after Jessup made a pitching change.

LORGE, Anna Christine “Tina” Jun 25, 1948 - April 16, 2022

Anna Christine ‘Tina’ Lorge was born June 25, 1948 in Los Angeles, California to Wade and Barbara Miller. She passed away at The Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara on April 16, 2022 after a heroic battle with cancer. Tina grew up in Los Alamitos, CA with her younger brother, David. She also had three older half-brothers: Wade Jr., Dale and Bruce Miller, with whom she had happy times as a little girl at her father’s cabin on Big Bear Lake. She also spent many memorable times with her cousin, Cathy, who was like a sister and countless summers with her beloved Aunt Connie in Laguna Beach, Ca.

Marlin Brucato came in and struck out the next two batters, ending the threat of any further damage by the Warriors. Jessup tacked on another run in the top of the eighth, before Westmont pulled to within two in the bottom of the eighth. With men on first and second and one away, Renck singled up the middle to drive in Desaegher and advance Haw to third. Reid then delivered a sacrifice fly to right to score Haw and made it a 12-9 ball game. After Rudinsky was issued a free pass, Rego singled to right, scoring Renck and advancing Rudinsky in third to produce a 1210 score. Just one swing away from tying the game or taking the lead, however, the Warrior offense ran out of steam on a ground out to second. Any hopes Westmont had of a ninth inning rally to win the game were curtailed in a five-inning top of the ninth. “They stayed in the fight, punched back and scored runs late in that game,” noted Ruiz.

SATURDAY

After being introduced to Catholicism by a girlfriend, Tina chose to spend her senior year at St. Anthony’s High School in Long Beach, where she could immerse herself in the Catholic faith. After graduation, she traveled extensively throughout Mexico and Europe with her mother which ignited a lifelong passion to see the world.

INLAND

While at Long Beach State University, she met the love of her life, Mark Lorge, and there was no turning back! They were married two years later, on July 20, 1969, the day man walked on the moon. They began married life in Belmont Shore where their ﬁrst son, Eric, was born. Tina loved nothing more than setting up her own home and being a mother.

COASTAL

In 1975, Tina graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree, cum laude, in English literature, an amazing accomplishment for a mother of a young family. Tragically, at the same time, she learned that she had Hodgkin’s disease. The family then moved to Palo Alto where she successfully received treatment at Stanford Medical Center throughout that summer. Even though the Lorges loved the Central Coast, alas, they relocated to Newport Beach, where Mark and Tina both began their careers; landscape architecture and public relations, respectively. Tina worked for some of the most prestigious organizations in Orange County: Hoag Hospital, Kohl Company and the Irvine Company. Eventually, to balance more time with her family, Tina built her own public relations consulting firm, Lorge Communications. In 1985, the Lorges finally settled in Laguna Beach where they lived for the next 35 years. Tina was able to devote full time to her greater joy of being a fulltime mother and wife. She and Mark were honored so serve as Eucharistic Ministers at St. Catherine of Sienna Church and developed life long friendships while growing deeper in their faith. Tina was always an avid reader, whether it be English literature, American history, or World History. However, history of the Catholic Church became her passion and which, over the years, she amassed a large library. Tina received a Catechist Certificate from the Archdiocese of Orange that allowed her to participate in candidate formation. For many years, she also found joy in teaching young people in religious education classes. During this time, traveling was always on Tina and Mark’s itinerary. Between Mark’s international practice and personal trips, they were able to see the world together, visiting Asia, Europe, South America, the Middle East , and Africa, where she organized a safari. In 2014, Mark retired, and they moved to Montecito, California, an area they dreamed of settling for many years. They became active members at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish and made many special friends. Tina was known to family and friends as “the Great Communicator.” Even though miles apart, she kept a personal relationship with each granddaughter. Always thinking of others, Tina regularly wrote loving, handwritten cards and letters because she believed a handwritten note was a more effective way of expressing her love and appreciation and she did so right through the final days of her own suffering. She was loved by so many. Tina is survived by her loving and devoted husband of 53 years, Mark; their sons, Eric (Charlotte) Lorge in France; Alex (Cassie) Lorge in Bend, Oregon, and her five beloved granddaughters: Madeleine, Colette, Violette, Louise and Simone.

In 1972, Mark was accepted to architecture school at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo where Tina also continued her education. Two years later, their second son, Alex was born. They loved living in San Luis Obispo where they made many friends and where several family members moved after visiting.

“The reality is that we need to fix our eyes on the goals that are in front of us. We weren’t our best today. We struggled on the mound and kicked ourselves defensively. We looked fatigued. We need to get rested, we need to recover, we need to get back on our plan and we need to get ready to compete in an opening round. Westmont will host an NAIA Opening Round Tournament at Russ Carr Field beginning Monday, May 16. The other tournament participants won’t be announced until Thursday, May 12. “It is nice to be able to give our guys a chance to compete at home,” said Ruiz of hosting an Opening Round Tournament. “We are going to do our best to get our facility ready and to get our guys prepared to be their absolute best come time for the opening round. We will be ready to compete. That is our job as a coaching staff and that is their job as players in this program. They will be ready to get back to work as soon as we get home.”

Rich fan Javi Gutierrez (Pedro Pascal) and past-his-prime movie star Nick Cage (Nicolas Cage) become instant friends in “The Unbearable Weight of Immense Talent.”

REVIEW

Nicolas Cage as himself (sort of) Actor has fun playing a fictionalized version of himself in ‘The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent’

At left, Nick Cage (Nicolas Cage, left) enjoys a welcome drink with Javi Gutierrez (Pedro Pascal) at the latter’s compound in Mallorca, Spain. At right, Nick and Javi jump off a cliff together in a movie with its share of cliffhangers.

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

obody can play Nicolas Cage as well as Nicolas Cage. There’s no doubt about that after his performance in “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent,” in which the star of “National Treasure,” “Face/Off” and other hits pokes fun at himself and his acting style. And it’s a blast to hear Mr. Cage, when the action heats up, repeat

lines from his previous films. This movie has those and other Easter eggs for Mr. Cage’s fans. The moments are priceless, and audiences are laughing enthusiastically. But what brings “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent” (a great title) to its next level is an intriguing and easy-to-follow story with surprises. Director Tom Gormican co-wrote the well-worded screenplay with Kevin Etten. To be clear, Mr. Cage is playing a fictionalized version of himself,

and his movie family differs from his real-life one. For example, in the movie, he has a daughter. In real life, he has two sons. But Mr. Cage’s real-life experience with movies is part of this story, in which Nick Cage is determined to get another great part in films. Guiding him or misleading him, take your pick, is the alter ego that only he can see: the younger, wilder and more confident Nicky Cage (played, of course, by Mr. Cage with a wig). Nick listens to Nicky, but that

doesn’t seem to help Nick much as he tries to jump start this career, pay off his debts and smooth out his rough relationships with his teenage daughter Addy (Lily Sheen) and ex-wife Olivia (Demi Moore). And his agent, Richard Fink (Neil Patrick Harris), isn’t much help either. Finally, Nick realizes it’s time to retire, but not before taking $1 million to show up at a rich fan’s birthday party at his compound in Mallorca, Spain. The fan is Javi Gutierrez, played by Pedro Pascal,

who clearly had a lot of fun with the role. Once he’s at Javi’s estate, CIA agents Vivian (Tiffany Hadish) and Martin (Ike Barinholtz) tell Nick that Javi is actually an arms dealer. They persuade a reluctant Nick Cage to spy on Javi, whom he genuinely likes and trusts. And that’s what sells this movie: The relationship between Nick and Javi. It’s hilarious, it’s touching, it’s priceless. If you’re a Nicolas Cage fan, you must see this film. And be sure to

read the credits for a nod to Mr. Cage’s birth name, Nicolas Kim Coppola. As fans know, Mr. Cage’s uncle is movie director Francis Ford Coppola, who’s featured in “The Offer,” a great Paramount+ series on the making of “The Godfather.” It’s not a documentary. It’s a docudrama, with actors playing the famous figures in this behind-thescenes story. New episodes stream each week on Paramount+. email: dmason@newspress.com

For a little dog named Lucy, the road to a loving home began in the middle of a busy street. When a community member spotted the 3-year-old terrier darting in and out of traffic, she grabbed her and brought her to Santa Barbara Humane’s Santa Maria campus for help. It was clear that the small dog, whom staff quickly named Lucy, was in rough shape, according to a news release. She was filthy, and her hair was severely matted. Veterinary staff found that she also had a large umbilical hernia. Thanks to donor support, Lucy quickly received the care she needed. During Lucy’s spay surgery, the team shaved off the mats and removed the hernia, but they soon found that these were not the only issues causing Lucy pain. X-rays revealed that Lucy had a broken tail and broken pelvis. The injury to Lucy’s tail seemed to be older, but the pelvis injury was fresh. Santa Barbara Humane said Lucy most likely had been hit by a car while she was out on the street. Despite the amount of pain she went through, Lucy never lashed out at those helping her. Santa Barbara Humane Chief Operating Officer Dori Villalon fostered Lucy as she recovered. “Lucy was so stoic throughout her ordeal,” said Ms. Villalon. “She was clearly frightened upon arrival, but always seeking reassurance and grateful for attention.” Because Lucy was not microchipped or claimed as a stray, she was made available for adoption once she was on the road to recovery. It was Ms. Villalon who answered the phone when Santa Maria resident Kimberly Reed called to inquire about another dog in Santa Barbara Humane’s care. Ms. Reed’s family had recently lost their senior dog, and she was beginning to feel lonely without a canine companion. Though the dog Reed was interested in wouldn’t be a match for her family, Ms. Villalon was quick to mention her foster dog Lucy. A few days later, Reed met Lucy and made the decision to adopt. The small dog who had such a tough beginning is now thriving in her new home. “She’s my companion,” said Ms. Reed, “she has worked out to be the best little girl. I just love her dearly.” For more about Santa Barbara Humane, go to sbhumane.org. The nonprofit has campuses in Santa Maria and Goleta. — Staff report

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.

LIBRA — You’re now in a terrific position to make a significant move in your life, Libra. With a great deal of physical energy coupled with incredibly high self-esteem, you have what it takes to make a major push toward larger goals. There’s opportunity coming at you from all angles, and the energy at hand is fast and furious. SCORPIO — You might feel as if you can’t access your physical energy now, Scorpio. You may experience frustration when you try to engage in a sport. You don’t feel as if things are clicking into place as easily as they should. This feeling is taking a toll on your sense of self. Don’t get down on yourself for feeling this way. SAGITTARIUS — Your physical vitality should be quite strong, Sagittarius, and you’re encouraged by greater selfconfidence. At the same time, however, someone seems to be trying to ruffle your feathers by being selfish and disrespectful of your space. This is likely to lead to conflict that you don’t need. CAPRICORN — Things could be moving more quickly than makes you comfortable right now, Capricorn. You may feel as if your own needs and agenda are getting lost in the fury bubbling around you. The secret key to add to your toolbox is the ability to go with the flow. It’s crucial to be adaptable and roll with the punches rather than be victimized by them. AQUARIUS — Your physical strength is topnotch, Aquarius. Now is a terrific time to join a sports team or start a company soccer program. Others will respect your leadership abilities. Your glow as a self-confident, constructive being is radiating positive energy. This combination of forces is extremely powerful. You have the opportunity to be wonderfully productive at this time. PISCES — You may feel indecisive, insecure, and stuck in the middle of a difficult situation, Pisces. Your energy could be drawn in one direction while your self-confidence is pulled in another. This dilemma has to do with your inability to integrate different aspects of your life that you try to keep separate. Try to look at things in terms of the whole.

HOROSCOPE ARIES — Communication with others should be very effective, Aries, and your social calendar will be full. You’re feeling good about yourself, thanks to a boost in confidence that reminds you that you can do anything. You have the ability to juggle many things at once and the physical endurance to keep up a quick pace. TAURUS — Relating to people may be difficult for you, since you get the feeling that others don’t see things as deeply or emotionally as you, Taurus. Perhaps you feel everyone is shallow, making them luckier in one sense yet deprived in another. Try not to focus on others so much. Just concentrate on you. Don’t take yourself so seriously. GEMINI — You have a great deal of physical energy, Gemini. At times, you may feel as if you have an endless wellspring of power. You’re at a climactic point in your yearly cycle, when things are coming to a dramatic apex. Difficulties that pertain to this climax are likely to make you act out in an aggressive manner if things don’t go your way. CANCER — Finding the comfort point may be difficult for you, Cancer. You might feel as if you aren’t connecting with your ideals or goals. Even though you try to put things into motion, they don’t really pan out the way you’d like. There’s a difficult energy making you feel like you need to join one camp or the other to feel accepted. LEO — Your upbeat, lively nature is fueled by the fastpaced energy at hand. You have a great deal of physical strength available to you, Leo, and you can make tremendous strides in your yearly goals with very minimal effort. Take advantage of this time by focusing on your own needs. VIRGO — Your indecisiveness may plague you, Virgo. This is one of those times when you feel as if one second of hesitation will cost you dearly. Yet you take a while to process and internalize things before you’re ready to act on them. Others may act and speak before they think. Don’t get upset at yourself for handling things the way you do.
