On Wednesday, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) voted 21-0 to recommend authorizing both Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccines for children under five. The Vaccine and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee voted unanimously to approve both the Moderna vaccine for children six months to five years and the Pfizer vaccine for children ages six months to four years. Children under the age of five are the only age group not currently eligible to be vaccinated against COVID19. “The moment has finally come for eager families. The FDA has recommended use of both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines for the youngest of our community to be protected against COVID19. This move leads us one step closer to being able to provide the COVID-19 vaccine series to those ages 6 months to 4 years old. The next step is for CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices to convene over the weekend to provide recommendations for administration of the vaccines. Following this meeting, we will see vaccines begin to become available in our community as early as

California lawmakers advance Newsom’s gun control agenda THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – Weeks after Gov. Gavin Newsom and lawmakers vowed to fast-track gun violence prevention legislation after the elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, two proposals backed by the governor advanced this week. Assembly lawmakers voted to advance a bill that would allow residents to enforce the state’s assault weapons ban by creating a private right of action against anyone who “manufactures, distributes, transports or imports” an assault weapon, .50 BMG rifle or ghost gun kits. Residents could collect $10,000 per weapon or precursor part on top of attorney’s fees. Gov. Newsom had initially called for the bill in December after the Supreme Court decided not to block Senate Bill 8, a Texas law that allows citizens to sue

anyone who “aids or abets” an abortion after roughly six weeks and relies on private citizens for enforcement. When the bill was introduced in February, Gov. Newsom said, “if Texas can use a law to ban a woman’s right to choose and to put her health at risk, we will use that same law to save lives and improve the health and safety of the people in the state of California.” California currently already has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation, including an assault weapons ban and an age requirement of 21 in order to purchase a weapon. Supporters of Senate Bill 1327 say it would provide a “new tool” to protect Californians. “If it stops one further death, it’s the right thing to do,” the bill’s author, Sen. Robert Hertzberg, D-Van Nuys, told lawmakers Tuesday. The bill has drawn opposition

Biden signs Ocean Shipping Reform Act President Joe Biden on Thursday signed a bipartisan bill designed to reduce supply chain disruptions and crack down on inflated shipping fees. The Ocean Shipping Reform Act was supported by U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, who joined the president at the White House during the signing. The congressman chairs the House Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation, which held hearings on the supply bottlenecks. “I was proud to stand with President Biden today to get this bipartisan overhaul of our shipping laws

from the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California, who say they oppose “the enforcement mechanism used in this law.” Shilpi Agarwal, the legal director at the organization, told lawmakers Tuesday that “replicating the Texas model only serves to legitimize and promote it.” “Eroding court oversight over laws will empower other states to cherry pick the hot button political issues of the day and pass their own SB 8 copycat bill to address them,” Mr. Agarwal said. The bill passed through the Assembly Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. Several other measures related to gun violence prevention also advanced Tuesday, including a bill backed by Gov. Newsom that prohibits the advertising or marketing of firearms to minors. Another measure that uses an exception in existing federal law to allow legal action against

signed into law, and I was proud to work with the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee to promote this important legislation that will protect American manufacturers and farmers and counter trade imbalances with foreign exporting countries,” Rep. Carbajal said in a statement Thursday. The Ocean Shipping Reform Act is designed to strengthen the Federal Maritime Commission’s enforcement against exploitative business practices and ensure fairness in shipping. It prohibits ocean carriers from unreasonably refusing to transport American cargo, according to Rep. Carbajal’s office, which said the goal is to lower costs for families. — Dave Mason

THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – Eastern Washington Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Spokane, called out President Joe Biden Wednesday for shifting the blame of surging fuel prices away from his “radical energy policies.” During an appearance on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Congresswoman McMorris Rodgers told hosts Joe Kernen and Becky Quick that President Biden needs to quit deflecting responsibility for the energy crisis that is, in large part, of his own making. “This administration on day one made clear that they were going to shut down American energy for their own political agenda,” she said. “It is harming Americans, it’s making us less secure, it’s increasing the prices, it’s making it harder for hard-working American families and we need to flip the switch.” Congresswoman McMorris Rodgers said President Biden sent the U.S. down the path toward an energy crisis on his first day in office. After canceling the presidential permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline, she said the administration then began preventing energy companies from having any capital expenditures into new production. As an example, Congresswoman McMorris Rodgers said President Biden recently canceled three oil and gas lease sales scheduled in the Gulf of Mexico and off the coast of Alaska, removing millions of acres from possible drilling. Although the president regularly blames Russia’s invasion of Ukraine for record-high gas prices, she pointed out that the cost of fuel was already on the rise when that war began in late February. Congresswoman McMorris Rodgers expressed concern during her CNBC interview on June 15 that Mr. Biden was setting the stage to enact price controls not seen since the 1970s. “That seems to be the direction they’re signaling with letters that threaten President Biden plans to use “all tools at [his] disposal,” said Congresswoman McMorris Rodgers.

Continued from Page A1

President Biden sent a letter Tuesday to seven top oil executives demanding their companies explain the decision to limit refining capacity. He announced that his administration would hold an “emergency meeting” to discuss ways of stemming the crisis. Congresswoman McMorris Rodgers said there is no evidence oil companies are price gouging Americans at the pump. However, House Democrats passed a bill last month empowering the president to declare an energy emergency and crack down on firms deemed to be price gouging. Congresswoman McMorris Rodgers and other GOP leaders countered that the administration could end the crisis by approving new drilling leases and other critical infrastructure, such as pipelines. “When we have panic at the pump because of the surging prices that impact everything, it makes it harder on hardworking Americans,” she said. “It is increasing the cost of food and the administration made it clear on day one that this was their agenda, that they were going to shut down American energy, and it’s time to flip the switch. In a June 13 interview with Neil Cavuto on FOX News, Congresswoman McMorris Rodgers said the president needs to quit shutting down nuclear and coal plants, or going to dictators around the world to ask them to produce more oil. Instead, she reiterated that President Biden should be working with American energy producers to get more fuel into the marketplace. Toward that end, she and Congressman Bruce Westerman, R-Arkansas, have introduced the American Energy Independence from Russia Act. The legislation would require the president to come up with an energy security plan and take action to unleash America’s oil and natural gas production to offset Russian imports. This bill would authorize the construction and operation of the Keystone Pipeline free up LNG exports to boost natural gas production, restart oil and gas leasing on federal lands and waters, and protect energy and mineral development.

“That is a really important point. You can’t compare the vaccines directly,’’ Dr. Jesse Goodman of Georgetown University, a former FDA vaccine chief told PBS. During the omicron wave, there was a significant increase in hospitalizations for young children. Additionally, 442 children under the age of 4 have died during the pandemic, according to Dr. Peter Marks, FDA’s vaccine chief. “Each child that’s lost essentially fractures a family,’’ Dr. Marks told PBS News Hour. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

through 5 years of age?” - “Based on the totality of scientific evidence available, do the benefits of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine when administered as a 3-dose series (3 micrograms each dose) outweigh its risks for use in infants and children 6 months through 4 years of age?” The FDA, which typically follows the recommendations of the advisory committee, is expected to grant emergency use authorization

for the vaccines in the coming days. An advisory panel to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is expected to vote on Saturday on whether or not to endorse the shots, according to CNN. The White House has said that shots could begin as soon as next week. The final step is for the CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky to sign off. While the two vaccines use the same technology, there are differences. “Vaccine experts noted that the shots haven’t been tested against each other, so there’s no way to tell parents if one is superior,” reported PBS News Hour.

(The Center Square) – California utility companies could face fines of $22 million for the “poor execution” of power shutoff events in 2020 under proposed penalties introduced by the California Public Utilities Commission Wednesday. Officials announced $12 million in fines against Pacific Gas & Electric Company, $10 million against Southern California Edison, and $24,000 against San Diego Gas & Electric. The CPUC said it also directed the three utility companies and PacifiCorp to take “specific corrective actions” in the future to ensure compliance with the commission’s “public safety and notification requirements.” Under California law, utilities are allowed to shut off electric power when it’s a matter of public safety, such as a severe wildfire threat. The CPUC created a set of guidelines for utilities conducting power shutoffs, which includes timelines for notifying households impacted. All three power companies were fined for not complying with CPUC guidelines throughout several power shutoff events in 2020. All three

companies were found to have violated several guidelines, including requirements for notifying customers of power outages. Regulators found the SDG&E “was not able to provide” advanced notification of power shut-offs to thousands of customers prior to several outages in 2020. A spokesperson for SDG&E said they are still reviewing the proposed order and is “always looking to evolve our processes and innovate our operations because the safety of our customers and the communities we serve remains our top priority.” A spokesperson for Southern California Edison called the order “counter-productive because it focuses on the early stages of our PSPS program, not on the tremendous progress made since.” “The company has taken significant steps to improve our PSPS,” the spokesperson said in an email to The Center Square, later adding that the company has improved its system by adding new language options and increased customer outreach during outages since 2020. Utilities have 30 days to pay the fine and make corrective actions or request a hearing, according to regulators.

Dos Pueblos Little League team wins championship By ROBERT M. RUIZ SPECIAL TO THE NEWS-PRESS

The Dos Pueblos Little League 8U All Star Team captured the District 63 Championship in a stunning extra inning victory over Goleta Valley South Little League on Wednesday night. For the fourth time this tournament, DPLL found themselves playing from behind after the early innings. And for the fourth time, DPLL found a way to win it. Colin Ruiz pitched four innings, striking out four batters. Teagan Hug closed the door for the final three innings without giving up a hit. In the bottom of the sixth inning, DPLL was down 7-3. Four singles by Luke Connolly, Dax Snowden, Teagan Hug, and Kai Holmes drove in two runs to bring DPLL to within two. Reid Wilson hit a two-run double to left center to tie the game and send it into extra innings. GVSLL scored one run in the 7th to regain the lead, but DPLL wasn’t ready to quit.

AMENDED NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: CAROLYN SUE WILLIAMS Case Number: 22PR00119 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: CAROLYN SUE WILLIAMS A Petition for Probate has been filed by PACIFIC UNION COLLEGE in the SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA. The Petition for Probate requests that PACIFIC UNION COLLEGE be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The Petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: June 30, 2022 at Time: 9:00 AM, in Dept.: 5, located at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101; PO Box 21107, Santa Barbara, CA 93121-1107, Anacapa Division. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for petitioner: DONALD J. LOGAN Address: 2350 First Street/P.O.

Recorded 04/21/2005 as Instrument No. 2005-0036232 in book --, at Page - of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of SANTA BARBARA County, California, Date of Sale: 07/06/2022 at 01:00PM Place of Sale: At the main entrance to the County Courthouse, 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101 Estimated amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $430,874.29 estimated - as of date of first publication of this Notice of Sale The purported property address is: 1304 PUNTA GORDA STREET SANTA BARBARA, CA 93103 A.P.N.: 017-341-001 The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county wherein the real property is located and more than three (3) months have elapsed since such recordation. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. If the sale occurs after 1/1/2021, the sale may not be final until either 15 or 45 days after the sale date - see Notice to Tenant. Further, no TDUS can be issued until the sale is final. Your bid is subject to being over bid by the Tenant or “eligible bidder” after the sale and if your bid is over bid, your only remedy is to the refund of your actual bid amount without interest or payment of any other costs, expenses or funds of any kind or nature incurred by the initial successor bidder. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (916) 939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Website www.nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, 22-0001. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (916) 939-0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 22-0001 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Center to receive donations seven days a week within a month ARC

Continued from Page A4 means a smoother process for donors. “It’s a convenient spot next to the 101,” he said. “The new location is the perfect size and the floor plan. It’s less of a fire hazard and less crowded,” “The old distribution center was located at the main campus on Cathedral Oaks Rd. is just past the 154 west, and it was in the gully. It wasn’t very visual,” he said. “So unless you looked it up, you never noticed it driving by. “The new location is much more visual, and there is a lot of foot traffic,” he said. “Also word spreads pretty quickly in Santa Barbara. We share the parking lot with the Santa Barbara AirBus. I met with reps yesterday to discuss traffic flow,” said Mr. Nerstad. He said the donation center is

receiving donations Wednesday through Sunday, but within a month, it will receive donations seven days a week. Mr. Nerstad said the new location will prove to be great for the Alpha Resource Center and its donors. He explained the center will be able to process more donations at the large indoor location than it could at its previous outdoor tent. The donation center, which occupies the former auto center, isn’t the only entity in the former Sears store. “We have a lot of support from the businesses downstairs, such as Mattress Mike,” Mr. Nerstad said. “I think it is going to be a good spot. I’m just very thankful that this arose. It’s really a blessing to get this opportunity, and the end result is the people it supports. It’s a win all around.” email: kzehnder@newspress.com

contributed to making a “uniquely difficult” school year fun. “No matter what happens to you in life, you will still be you,” said Ms. Pointer. “When I was 18, I had this idea that one day, when I got the right job or fell in love with the right person or had some right amount of money in my bank account, I would have a sense of arrival and would then transform into the real version of myself. But it turns out that isn’t how it works. No matter what you accomplish, no matter how many degrees and

letters end up after your name, no matter how much you exercise, or how fashionable your wardrobe, no matter who you marry, or how perfect your children are, you will always just be you. “The same voice in your head or your heart that you hear in the quiet today will be with you tomorrow morning, at 25, and 40, and presumably at 65 and the end. And this afternoon that might seem like disparaging news. But I am here to reassure you that it is not. In fact, I want to encourage you to begin today, if you haven’t

already started, the process of deciding to make peace with who you are. With coming to accept yourself - to care, commit, trust, respect, take responsibility for, and know yourself … You should have every confidence that you have nothing to fear in deciding to make peace with who you are. And my hope is that as you learn to live with yourself, you will find greater freedom to continue being interested, and doing hard things, and being vulnerable with others.” email: kzehnder@newspress.com

We plan our next group activities while we’re doing a group activity. We support each other in individual goals, celebrate successes and college acceptances, and pick each other back up when things don’t go to plan … we turn every class or AP we’re in into a little family, with its own memories and set of complaints and inside jokes. Whatever random array of people the scheduling chaos brings together never fails to create a bonded group. We value those classes and are grateful to be on this campus each day.” Ms. Nicks expressed gratitude to the teachers who helped shepherd the Class of 2022 through their high school years. “Our teachers have shaped each person and formed us into the class that we are,” she said.

FLASHBACK FRIDAY

Unite to Light opens call for artists to create celebration of light By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara nonprofit Unite to Light has opened a search for artists to participate in an immersive art installation this fall. The call is open to artists of all genres, with a focus on two and three dimensional art submissions that play with light to create an immersive experience. The exhibition will be part of a three-day fundraiser, “Unite to Light the Night,” to be held Oct. 6-8 at the Community Arts Workshop, 631 Garden St., Santa Barbara. Artists, who must be 18 or older, should apply online by July 1 at www.tinyurl.com/3nsw2ebc. Submissions can involve light projection, lightmapping, neon light and LED sculptures. Unite to Light aims to have

up to 10 $1,000 grants available to help artists cover material and equipment costs and to increase the diversity of people participating in the exhibition. Artists can sell their works during the event with a small part of the proceeds going to the nonprofit. “More than a billion people live without electricity, struggling in darkness after sunset, being poisoned at night by kerosene fumes, spending meager resources on fuel instead of better nutrition and healthcare. That darkness brings illiteracy, poverty and illness,” said Megan Birney, CEO of Unite to Light. Unite to Light is the only nonprofit that manufactures and distributes its own lights and chargers providing light and power to those living without electricity across the globe. The solar lights and chargers help

children study at night, equip healthcare workers to save lives, offer relief from disasters and enable connection to vital services for those experiencing homelessness. “Including artists into the fundraiser stemmed from the wish to celebrate the power of light. The exhibition is the perfect way to showcase light as not only an essential aspect of life but also a creative medium that can bring people together,” said Ms. Birney. With the support of the SBCC Foundation, as well as other community partners such as The Fund for Santa Barbara and Santa Barbara Foundation, Unite to Light plans to install works by students and amateur artists as well as some well-known Santa Barbara artists. “The unique aspect of this fundraiser is that it will run

Will return next Friday

for three-consecutive days with a different program for each evening, giving the artists opportunity to connect with a broader audience and have greater exposure,” said Ms. Birney. “The Community Arts Workshop is a perfect venue for the exhibition. A project of the Santa Barbara Arts Collaborative, a nonprofit committed to sustaining and growing all forms of the arts in Santa Barbara, the space is truly a blank canvas. Smaller and more fragile artworks will be displayed inside one of the indoor spaces and larger installations will be placed outside in the courtyard.” For more information about “Unite to Light the Night,” visit www.unitetolight.org. email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

Local winners of the EZBike Challenge have been announced. Jessica from Santa Barbara was the first-place winner of the Electra Townie Go! 7D. (Last names of the winners were not listed in a news release.) “I started biking around this year after taking a confident cycling class from the Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition (SBBIKE+COAST),” Jessica said in the news release. “Our city cycling guru, Sam, really helped me get over my fears, and I love it! Having State Street closed to cars definitely helped me get my skill level up.” Nikolaus of Las Cumbres Observatory in Goleta is one of the 600 participants in the EZBike Challenge and winner of an electric bicycle. To qualify to win one of three electric bicycle or weekly prizes, the public was encouraged to ride

any bike for eight days in May during national bike month and log their trips on smartride.org/#/. Nikolaus was also the secondplace winner in the Story Bikes Commuter category, “Biking makes me feel young and strong. Riding around Goleta/ SB on my bike (especially in the early mornings) helps clear my head and elevate my mood,” said Nikolaus. Chelsey of Santa Barbara was the third-place winner of the iZip Sumo winner. “I love biking because it’s an efficient, convenient, and low impact option for getting around Santa Barbara,” Chelsey said. More than 600 people participated in the first-ever EZBike Challenge, exceeding expectations. Participants made more than 10,000 bike trips covering more than 45,000 miles. The combined calories burned is the equivalent of 9,080 street tacos. According to the news release, the competition helped to inspire

new options for commuters to travel and make a lifestyle change that improves air quality and reduces traffic congestion. “We are all looking for new ways to save money on gas these days,” said Kent Epperson, director of the Santa Barbara County Association of Government’s Traffic Solutions division. “All month-long, we asked the public to rise to the EZBike Challenge, and they did. Participation exceeded our expectations as we saw more people discover efficient and convenient ways to travel around town on a bike.” In addition to the first EZBike Challenge, 15 other in-person events took place during the National Bike Month celebration. Employers, adults, families and kids joined in on the joy of biking through activities that included electric bicycle showcases and demos, education on safe riding and bike maintenance, nature rides, a Chicano culture and history ride, and the mayor’s ride.

For residents who were not able to ride a bike, CycleMAYnia partnered with Cycling Without Age to offer accessible, piloted trishaw rides. “Just going for a ride gives us a chance to share a wave and smile with others in the community,” said John Boettner, founder of Santa Barbara Cycling without Age. “Even on a short ride, we all wave and smile more times than we have smiled or waved in days, weeks, or even months. Imagine if we all bicycled once a week or once a month, what a joyful difference that would make in our neighborhoods and our community.” For more information, visit cyclemaynia.org.

Don’t be surprised if you hear the sound of 76 trombones or see that Wells Fargo wagon rolling into River City, Iowa — er, Ojai, Calif. “Meredith Willson’s The Music Man” is here. The Broadway musical will run June 24 through July 24 at the Ojai Art Center Theater, 113 S. Montgomery St. The curtain will rise at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays. The production stars TV host and writer Larry Toffler as con man/salesman, Harold Hill, who promises to help fictional River City, Iowa, form a band to keep its impressionable youth out of pool halls — where they could be corrupted! He’s happy to sell the town’s citizens band instruments and uniforms and teach their kids how to play, using the “Think Method.” (Think again; he’s a con man!) Playing the librarian Marian Paroo is Ojai’s Darrienne Lissette Caldwell (formerly Darrienne Gross). Director Tracey Williams Sutton assembled a large cast of actors varying from age 7 to 85. Among them are popular Ojai actors Bill Spellman and Marisa Miculian as the pompous Mayor Shin and his wacky wife, Eulalie, and Laura Ring as the lovable Ma Paroo. Andrew Eiden makes his first

appearance at the Ojai Art Center Theater as Harold’s sidekick, Marcellus. Herb Hemming produced the show with musical direction by Emily Redman Hall and choreography by Holly Irwin. “The Music Man” is known for songs such as “76 Trombones,” “The Wells Fargo Wagon,” “Marian the Librarian” and “Gary, Indiana.” (One of the musical’s romantic songs, “Till There Was You,” was recorded by The Beatles.) The popular musical premiered on Broadway in 1957 and inspired the 1962 Warner Bros. movie starring Robert Preston as Harold Hill and Shirley Jones as Marian Paroo. The film version had a feeling of a play, right down to its use of theatrical lighting. Another movie version, this one for television, came out in 2003 and starred Matthew Broderick as Harold and Kristin Chenoweth as Marian. Most of all, “The Music Man” has lived on as a longtime favorite of community theater groups throughout the U.S. Tickets for the Ojai Art Center Theater production cost $30 for general admission and $25 for students, seniors and Art Center members.

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.

ARIES — Do you feel like your life hasn’t changed a bit over the past few weeks? You feel that certain things need to change but you do nothing but sit there. Today, Aries, there will be a lot of influences that could incite you to be a little more foolhardy. You don’t usually like to take risks, but if you do it, you’ll be greatly satisfied. TAURUS — There is a fire burning deep inside of you, Taurus. It gives you a lot of power and energy. People around you are receptive to this energy. Today a lot of your friends will thrive on your fire and be in the best of moods because of it. Don’t try to hide your energy. If you do, it may disappear, or it could even burn you. GEMINI — Enthusiasm and energy will be your allies today, Gemini. Something different is in the air and inciting you to move forward. You will make decisions and go in new directions for your own good and for the good of the people around you. Your dynamism will have a beneficial impact on your family. This newfound strength will give you a great boost. CANCER — You’re organized and rigorous, Cancer. You plan everything. But with today’s energy, you’ll be inclined to let the day go by without keeping to a tight schedule. After all, not every day has to be a workday. You can worry easily, but don’t let this get you down. Follow the people around you. They’ll teach you to see the world differently. LEO — A lot of people around you might think that you are a strong individual, Leo. For example, you stand up against wrongs in the established social order. You can also be a very constructive person. You try to improve the world around you. VIRGO — Virgo, you are worried that some of the people close to your heart might change. You have been watching and paying attention to subtle signs and changes for quite some time now. Today you will feel like a guide, and you will help those who might need you. You will be able to show them the way and help them to fulfill their needs.

LIBRA — You’ve always been a loner, Libra. You tend to act on your own and you don’t trust outside help. Over the last few weeks, however, you’ve managed to find people who have accepted you the way you are. It’s as if you’ve found a refuge where you can escape reality. But you’ll find that if you open your heart to others, SCORPIO — You’ve always felt the need to create, Scorpio. The simplest tasks can fulfill this need. You’re even happy if you sketch on a small piece of paper. Over the last month or so you’ve been finishing a project close to your heart. Don’t be afraid to show it off to your friends. People will be thrilled by your work. SAGITTARIUS — Some people around you might think that you have never really matured, Sagittarius, that you still have the mind of a child. It might not seem obvious at first, but your lighthearted attitude is also a sign of great wisdom. As with those who have truly committed to longterm romances, you will find out that you’ll never lose your lightheartedness. CAPRICORN — If you analyze your life, you’ll see that it has completely changed over the past twelve months, Capricorn. You’ve matured as an individual and your actions have been beneficial to yourself and those around you. Try to make changes as often as you can. Don’t stop now. You need to feel that your life is evolving all the time. There is no time to rest. AQUARIUS — You may be a little bit disappointed to find out that the people you think so highly of are in fact mere reflections of your own personality. The planetary alignment is trying to teach you to believe in yourself. You just lack confidence. After all, if they’re admirable people, PISCES — There’s a great day ahead of you, Pisces. You’ll be blessed with the ability to solve problems, and others will come looking for you today. You’ll listen, understand, and express empathy. You’ll be wise enough to find solutions to any issues they present to you. After a day like this, you might ask yourself if you shouldn’t work as a therapist.

(The Center Square) – U.S. Customs and Border Patrol published official data Thursday for apprehensions and encounters in May: the highest monthly total in recorded U.S. history of 239,416. CBP published the data after The Center Square published preliminary numbers received from a Border Patrol agent. Official numbers include both Border Patrol and Office of Field Operations data of people entering the U.S. illegally at all ports of entry. Despite President Joe Biden, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and CBP Chief Chris Magnus arguing that the border is closed, that Title 42 is being enforced, and that it is complying with the Remain in Mexico policy, more people entered the U.S. illegally in May 2022 than an any month recorded in U.S. history. And the numbers are only going up. In April, CBP reported 235,478 total encounters/ apprehensions; in March, 222,239; in February, 165,902; in January, 154,816. The last two months alone equals roughly the size of the population of Wyoming. The southern border sectors that saw the most traffic last month, as in nearly all months, were in Texas in the Rio Grande Valley and Del Rio sectors.

Senators to FTC: Investigate infant formula price gouging By RAELYNN RICARTE

The numbers are broken down by BP sector and categories, including apprehensions, turn backs, nonviolations, outstanding, no-arrests, got aways (known/ recorded), and deceased. Apprehensions include those in the U.S. illegally who surrender or are caught by BP officers. Turn backs include those who entered illegally but returned to Mexico. The categories of “no arrests” and “unresolved detection” aren’t part of 6 U.S. Code, which classifies how encounters are to be reported. These categories are used as a way to lower the number of got-aways being reported, the BP officer says. No arrests mean someone “was detected in a nonborder zone and their presence didn’t affect GotAway statistics,” according to the official internal tracking system definition used by agents to record data. “Unresolved detection” means the same thing, but the officers, for a range of reasons, couldn’t determine citizenship. Non-violations are “deemed to have committed no infraction and don’t affect Got-Away statistics,” according to the tracking system definition. The categories of non-violations, no arrests and unresolved detection should actually be categorized as got-aways, the BP officer says, assuming all nonarrests were of non-citizens. Preliminary data in other sectors show more than 1,600 people were apprehended in May, with Miami apprehending the most.

(The Center Square) – U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Bothell, has taken the lead on a letter to Lina Khan, chair of the Federal Trade Commission, asking that staff investigate whether retailers are inflating prices for baby formula during the current nationwide chronic shortages. “No one should be profiting off the infant formula shortage, especially giant retail chains,” Sen. Murray said in an announcement about the letter. “This is a critical moment where the federal government needs to crack down on any price gouging during this crisis.” Sen. Murray chairs the Senate Health Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. Also signing the June 14 letter was Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Edmonds, who chairs the Senate Commerce Committee, which oversees the FTC. In the letter, the senators said

reports about excessive prices being paid by panicked parents needed to be investigated and curtailed. “At a time when families are already contending with inflation, these practices harm children and their families when they are most vulnerable,” they wrote. Sen. Murray has been pushing for answers about the formula shortage since a recall from Abbott Nutrition in February. She has since held a hearing to grill Commissioner Robert Califf on the FDA’s delayed response to the crisis. The agency received a 34-page document in October that outlined concerns about Abbott’s plant in Sturgis, Michigan. However, the FDA did not interview the whistleblower until December and did not send an inspector to the plant until January. A recall due to reports of bacterial infections was not issued until February for select lots of Similac, Alimentum and

EleCare formulas produced by Abbott. In recent weeks, Sen. Murray has called on the White House to appoint a formula coordinator to lead a national strategy to address the crisis and ensure another shortage does not occur.

Every month in the Santa Barbara News-Press and online at newspress.com

(The Center Square) – The world’s first trillionaires could be from Texas, according to a new analysis of the 30 richest people in the world. A new report published by the software company Tipalti Approve estimates that newly relocated Texas resident, Tesla CEO and billionaire Elon Musk, could become the world’s first trillionaire by 2024. Houston native and Dell Technologies CEO Michael Dell could become a trillionaire by 2033. If they were to reach trillionaire status today, they’d have a net worth of 1.17% of the global GDP, which is currently $84.75 trillion, according to the World Bank. In 2022, “there are nine centibillionaires with fortunes greater than $100 billion,” according to Tipalti’s analysis. In order to identify who could become the first trillionaire, it compared the annual net worth of the top 30 richest people from 2017 through today, calculating the year-after-year annual growth rate of each of their net worths. Tipalti Approve estimates that Mr. Musk’s wealth will reach $1 trillion by 2024 by calculating the yearover-year growth of his current net worth of $263 billion. Fed up with Democratic policies in California in 2020, Mr. Musk relocated to Texas citing a friendlier business environment. He also announced this year he was no longer voting for Democrats and was voting for Republicans. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican running for his third term, has welcomed Mr. Musk to Texas and expressed support for him voting for Republicans. He’s also encouraged Mr. Musk to relocate Twitter to Texas. Mr. Musk’s SpaceX has been operating for years in Boca Chica, Texas, outside of Brownsville. And in Austin, his new Tesla Gigafactory, which was recently completed near the airport, isn’t far from The Boring Company, another company he created to build safe, low-cost transportation, utility and freight tunnels. With his pending $44 billion purchase of Twitter still on the table, a Texas farmer and businessman offered Mr. Musk 100 acres to relocate the social media company’s headquarters from San Francisco to the Austin area. “Elon Musk, move Twitter to Schwertner, TX,” Jim Schwertner, president and CEO of Schwertner Farms, tweeted April 26. “38 miles North of Austin in Williamson County, and we will give you 100 Acres for FREE.”

If Mr. Musk were to relocate Twitter, it wouldn’t be far from others in Silicon Valley that have set up shop in downtown Austin, including Google, Apple, Meta and TikTok. Of the 30 richest people in the world, 21 “realistically have a chance” to become a trillionaire, the Tipalti analysis says. The report lists potential trillionaires and the year it expects them to reach the trillionaire club. It includes Adani Group Chairman Guatam Adani by 2025; Zhang Zhang Yiming, founder and chairman of ByteDance Technology Co., which owns TikTok, by 2026; Louis Vuitton CEO Mukesh Ambani by 2029; Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos by 2030; Google co-founder Larry Page by 2032; L.A. Clippers owner and former Microsoft CEO Steve Balmer by 2032; Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg by 2034; Oracle CEO Larry Ellison by 2036; Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates by 2044, among others.
