On Sunday, Teen Star Santa Barbara took place live at the Granada Theatre in Santa Barbara. Teen Star had to take a hiatus in 2021 due to the Covid-10 Pandemic. Melody Hilario, 13, a student at Lompoc Valley Middle School, won the competition. After the opening number, the Teen Star finalists were introduced. The judges panel consisted of Randy Jackson, Leslie Lembo and Eric Stein. Tariqh Akoni, guitarist and musical director for Josh Groban, was one of the mentors. Ben Margulies, a songwriter and producer, was the other. Each contestant got to spend a day being coached by Mr. Marguiles and Mr. Akoni. Something unique about Teen Star is that the audience gets to participate by voting for each contestant. The judges talked about what they look for in Teen Star as opposed to when they are older. Mr. Jackson said he looks for uniqueness in song choice, Ms. Lembo said she looks for authenticity and Mr. Stein said he looks for how the performer impacts the audience. After performances by the contestants, finalists Grace Hu, a Dos Pueblos High School sophomore, Melody Hilario, a seventh-grader from Lompoc Valley Middle School and Bridget Divine, a Santa Barbara High School senior advanced to the final round. In an unusual event for Teen Star, a fourth contestant performed during the finalist round, Sophia Hernandez of Bishop Diego High School.

Local company credits product’s purity By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Santa Barbara area-based Ophora Water Technologies won the Gold award Saturday for the best-tasting purified bottled water at the 32nd annual Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting. The contest has been called the “Oscars of water,” and Ken Guoin, president and co-founder of Ophora Water Technologies, explained what makes his water great. “We are all about purity,” Mr. Guoin told the News-Press Sunday after the victory was announced. “What has put us on the map is our water is nano-purified. We have four patents on a process that restores water the way it used to be, nano-pure and highly oxygenated.” Mr. Guoin has been in the water industry for 35 years. The water tasting took place at the Country Inn in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia. The event has been described as “the world’s most prestigious water tasting” by BuzzFeed and the Week.

The event includes tasting of purified waters, non-carbonated bottled waters and sparkling waters. Handcrafted glass water drops, created by West Virginia’s Appalachian Glass, were presented as awards. Known as the “Oscars of water,” the event has featured more than 720 distinct waters during the past 32 years. A total of 59 countries have been represented, including the U.S., Greece, New Zealand, Tajikistan, Korea, Indonesia and St. Kitts and Nevis. Winners are determined by a distinguished panel of media judges. Judges include representatives from the Insider’s Guide to Spas, Wonderland Entertainment and the West Virginia Department of Tourism, as well as journalists and freelance writers whose work appears in the Washington Post, Smithsonian and Woman’s World Magazines, among others, as well as podcasts and blogs. “The impact of winning this event is extraordinary for a bottler.

On Sunday, Ukrainians maintained control of their major cities. “They have not achieved what they intended on day four,” a U.S. Senior defense official told NPR reporters on Sunday. However, this situation could easily reverse with Russia taking the upperhand, as Russia has only committed about two-thirds of its forces ranging from 150,000 to 190,000 service members. Ukrainian and Russian representatives have agreed to talks in Belarus on Monday. “Since the first hours of the invasion, Russian troops have been hitting civilian infrastructure. They consciously chose tactics to destroy people and everything that makes life just normal,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sunday, according to a report by NPR. According to Ukraine’s interior ministry, at least 352 Ukrainian civilians have been killed, including 14 children, and another 1,684 people have been wounded. Russia reported that some military members have been killed but numbers have not been released, according to a report by NPR. The UN is set to hold its 11th emergency session in New York City in more than 70 years. The session is to allow its 193 members to debate and vote on a resolution which would call for Russia’s immediate withdrawal of troops from Ukraine.

“The council members who supported this resolution recognize that this is no ordinary moment,” U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield said at Sunday’s Security Council meeting, according to a report by Bloomberg. The Russian ruble has fallen nearly 30% against the U.S. dollar, reported Bloomberg on Saturday. On Monday, President Joe Biden plans to meet with allies on Monday morning in Washington concerning the crisis. Social media has allowed influencers and users to now become eyewitnesses and warfare experts tweeting tips to Ukrainian fighters, this has become dubbed the “TikTok War,” according to a report by CNN, Business. However, TikTok is not the only platform that is being used by influencers and users Instagram and Twitter are also used to provide information. However, the onslaught of words and images fuels a confusing media environment contributing to an atmosphere of rampant disinformation, reported CNN Business. “Each one of these TikTok videos is a tiny little snapshot of a tiny little moment of time, often without any other overlaying context … And so you really would have to spend an enormous time with some real background to begin to piece together the TikTok jigsaw puzzle,” David French, a senior editor at the Dispatch, told CNN Business.

exponential growth, others closed major deals, and almost all winners redesign their labels to display their winning medal,” said Jill Klein Rone, event producer. News-Press Co-Publisher Arthur von Wiesenberger served as the watermaster for the event. Mr. von Wiesenberger trained the media judges and directed the challenge of evaluating the product. This unique event has been dubbed the “granddaddy of water tastings,” by Mr. von Wiesenberger and is produced by Travel Berkeley Springs. In 2021, the event’s “People’s Choice package design” contest began, allowing the public to vote online for the packaging. “How the product looks and grabs attention has become ever more important as the bottled water industry continues to grow.

We are building a highspeed, high volume water making plant in Ventura. Our corporate headquarters is in Carpinteria, where we have a 7,500 square-foot office” “It is nano purity, pH balance and hyperoxygenatetion that makes our water taste the best,” he said. “We are winning the award year after year not only because of taste and purity, but because it is light on the tongue. You are drinking water on a cellular level. The water penetrates your cells. “There is no one else doing what we do,”

UCSB defeats UC Riverside in double overtime By DANIEL MOEBUS-BOWLES UCSB SPORTS WRITER

RIVERSIDE.– The UCSB men’s basketball team picked up their third straight win in dramatic fashion Saturday night defeating UC Riverside on the road in double-overtime 97-90. Freshman guard was once again the star for UCSB men’s basketball posting his second 30-point game in a row with senior Amadou Sow adding 25 of his own in the gritty victory. After dropping 31 on UC Davis just two days before, the freshman Mitchell had 30 points, scoring 25 of the points in the second half and OT. He went 11-for-17 with four assists and a rebound. Sow went 10-for-18 with nine rebounds, two assists, and two steals. He kept the Gauchos alive early, scoring 16 in the first period. Calvin Wishart had 15 points and Josh

Pierre-Louis added 10 as well. UCSB outshot UCR 57.4%-50% and scored 34 points off of the Highlanders’ 20 turnovers. Neither team led by more than seven in the game that saw 12 lead changes and 16 ties. The Gauchos led for much of the opening period, fueled by a 7-for-10 shooting performance by Sow. The Gaucho made big free throws and a pair of field goals down the stretch to give his team a three-point lead heading into the locker room. Mitchell went 4-for-7 with 13 points and three assists in the second half. UCR shot 54.2% from the field to whittle its way back into the contest with senior center Callum McRae converting a three-point play with 24 seconds left to go to tie it up at 71-71. Mitchell had a great look at the game-winner but the floater touched every side of the rim and fell out at the buzzer. Mitchell added 12 more on a perfect 5-of-

5 line during overtime periods, hitting clutch shots and keeping his team in front. UCSB went up by as many as six but the Highlanders collected a late foul on a desperation shot that once again tied the game at 82-82. They even took the final shot of the period but could not convert as the two teams went into double-OT. The Gauchos outscored the Highlanders 15-8 in the final period shooting 81.8% while holding host UCR to just 46.2%. Clutch free-throws and big defensive plays finally sealed the victory for the Gauchos. The Gauchos now make the long trip from Davis to Riverside to take on the Highlanders of UCR Saturday night. Tip-off is set for 5 p.m. at SRC Arena.

UCSB’s Miller scores career-high in win over UC Davis By MICHAEL JORGENSON UCSB SPORTS WRITER

In her last game ever at the Thunderdome, senior point guard Danae Miller delivered perhaps her greatest masterpiece yet, putting up a career-high 35 points and leading the UCSB women’s basketball team over UC Davis for the first time in over six years in a 65-62 win. Four Gaucho senior guards were honored after the game – including Kiana Vierra, Lauren Lee and Megan Anderson – but it was Miller who received the most fanfare postgame in her ceremonial return to the court, and deservedly so. The fifth-year senior finally got over the hump against an Aggie team that she had gone 0-9 against entering Saturday.

Miller followed a 10-point opening half with a 25-point outburst over the final 20 minutes. She put in threes on back-to-back possessions midway through the third quarter to give the Gauchos their largest lead of the day, 41-24. UC Davis (13-11, 7-7) forced the Gauchos (14-10, 8-7) into a number of mistakes down the stretch and nearly pulled off a remarkable late comeback with 29 points in the fourth alone. However, that was neutralized by 14 big fourth quarter points from Miller, who sent the T-Dome crowd into a frenzy with two more threes on consecutive possessions. She also went 8-of-10 at the line in the final period, knocking down all six in the final minute. Her final trip to the charity stripe put the Gauchos up 65-62 with eight seconds remaining. UCD’s

Cierra Hall got a decent look on a stepback three to tie it in the final seconds, but it fell short. It was the second 30-point game of Miller’s career, setting a new conference-wide single-game scoring high. She played all 40 minutes, going 10-of-22 (45.5%) and 6-of-10 from three-point range. The six treys were also a new personal-best, giving her 153 for her career and moving her past Melissa Zornig and Makala Roper for No. 6 in the UCSB all-time charts. UCSB’s only other double-digit scorer was junior center Ila Lane, who recorded a second straight double-double to give her 10 for the year. She has now scored in double-figures while shooting at least 60 percent in seven consecutive outings. The Gauchos saw another uptick

in their three-point percentage defense marks, a category they continue to lead in the Big West. The Aggies finished just 3-of-21 (14.3%) from deep, compared to 8for-22 (36.4%) for UCSB. Santa Barbara’s other starting guards, Johnni Gonzalez and Alexis Tucker, chipped in with eight points apiece. Gonzalez also had six assists for the sixth time this year. The Gauchos will close out the regular season next week with road games at CSUN on Tuesday and Hawaii on Saturday.

Nevada beats UCSB baseball team 5-4 By DANIEL MOEBUS-BOWLES UCSB SPORTS WRITER

The No. 20 Gauchos were edged out in their game two matchup with visiting Nevada on Saturday evening as the Wolfpack found two late runs to even the series. The UCSB baseball team fell 5-4 and will look for the series win in tomorrow’s rubber match. Mike Gutierrez earned the start tossing five full innings and allowed just one earned and struck out five in the no-decision. Five Gauchos came in his relief including Matt Ager who had a good outing tossing two innings of one-hit ball. Kyle Johnson stayed hot going 2-for-4 with a gametying homer and bringing in a late lead run with an RBI single. He has reached base safely in every game this season. Broc Mortensen went 2-for-4 as well with an RBI and Jason Willow extended his hit streak to 13 games with a double. Mortensen gave UCSB an early lead, collecting

an RBI single in the first inning to score Jordan Sprinkle and Willow made it 2-0 in the second with an RBI groundout. Nevada answered in the fourth with a pair of runs and took the lead in the fifth driving in one more to go up 3-2. In the bottom of the fifth, Johnson unleashed a towering solo shot to ice the game and the Gauchos got the lead back in the 7th with Johnson striking again on an RBI single through the left side. In the top of the eighth Nevada plated two more on a tough ball that skipped past the Gaucho infield with the bases-loaded. Had the ball traveled a regular path it could have turned for a double-play to get the Gauchos out of the inning, but instead it gave the visitors a 5-4 lead. UCSB brought the tying run to second base in the bottom half but could not bring him home. Daniel Moebus-Bowles writes about sports for UCSB. email: sports@newspress.com

UCSB sinks San Diego State in women’s water polo By MICHAEL JORGENSON UCSB SPORTS WRITER

IRVINE– On day two of the Barbara Kalbus Invitational, the No. 15 UCSB women’s water polo team opened Sunday with an 11-10 win over No. 21 San Diego State before falling to No. 9 Arizona State 17-8 several hours later. It was a balanced scoring effort for UCSB (10-6) against the Aztecs (1-7), as five different Gauchos scored twice. Defender Claire Kelly also had a team-high three assists. Things stayed tight from start to finish, as neither team led by more than two goals. SDSU briefly led by one in parts of the first quarter, but Drew Halvrson’s goal on UCSB’s final possession of the period tied it at 3-3 and the Gauchos never trailed again. Annie Kuester and Juju Amaral capped a 3-0 UCSB spurt with back-to-back goals early in

the second, making it a 5-3 game. The Aztecs tied it with 3:11 to go, but the Gauchos ended the half on a 3-1 run with goals from Leigh Lyter, Caitlyn Snyder and Halvorson to go into halftime up 8-6. SDSU again scored two straight to equalize midway through the third, but things would go the Gauchos’ way down the stretch. Snyder and Owens both scored their second of the day to put UCSB back up by two. The Gauchos led 10-9 in the final minutes, but Amaral provided the final dagger with 16 seconds left to give them a two-goal cushion and seal the win. Goalkeeper Madison Button finished with five saves defending the cage. UCSB would fall behind early in its second game of the day, as Arizona State (8-6) jumped out to a 5-1 lead. Owens and Amaral both scored first quarter

goals, but the Sun Devils led 6-2 after one and 10-4 at the half. ASU’s lead grew to as large as nine goals several times in the second half. Amaral scored two goals for the second time in the day and Cami Mras also put away two scores for the third time this season. Kuester made it two straight games with a pair of goals. Owens scored for the fifth straight game and Kelly also found the back of the net. Casey Coppock and Taylor McEvilly split time at goalkeeper, tallying three saves each. Today the Gauchos close out their four-game weekend slate against No. 11 UC San Diego at 9 a.m. at the Marian Bergeson Aquatics Center.

Westmont baseball team’s winning streak ends, but Warriors rebound with victory By JACOB NORLING WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

The Westmont baseball (18-2, 7-1) split a pair of games from The Master’s (138, 3-5) on Saturday, giving the Warriors the series win after taking both games Friday. In game one, Westmont’s program record 17-game winning streak came to an end when The Master’s hung on to win 8-4. Then, in game two, the Warriors broke a 3-3 tie in the sixth to win 4-3 and take the series. “We knew Master’s was going to come back today ready to compete,” said Westmont head coach Robert Ruiz. “It was a well-played day of baseball for those guys and we were faced to deal with adversity we hadn’t seen in a while. “Those were two really good baseball games. You have to hand it to our guys for not deflating in game two and staying in the fight.” In game one, Westmont looked primed to extend their streak to 18 when they scored twice in the bottom of the first. Josh Rego opened up the day with a runscoring single to right, bringing in Paul Mezurashi. Then, Rego was able to stay in a rundown long enough between first and second, allowing Simon Reid to bring home run number two. A half-inning later the Mustangs tied

things up with a pair of singles that snuck through the five-six hole, bringing home Austin Young and Joe Terlizzi. Then, in the top of the fourth, The Master’s went up for good following a pop up that dropped in the Bermuda triangle. With two on and two out, Davis Beavers skied a fly ball into shallow center field, directly in the middle of Robbie Haw, Brady Renck and Finn Snyder. When none of the three took charge, the ball plopped onto the outfield grass, allowing both men aboard to score, giving TMU a 4-2 lead. After the Mustangs added on a pair in the sixth, Westmont’s best look at the game came in the bottom of the seventh. After the Warriors rallied to score twice with two outs, Reid came to the plate with runners at the corners. On a full count offering, Reid hit a pop fly that drifted toward the Westmont dugout on the third base side. Mustangs’ third baseman Benjamin Johnson then leaned over the dugout railing and snared the pop fly, ending the threat. The Mustangs added a pair in the top of the ninth, and retired the Warriors in order in the bottom-half to win 8-4. “First of all, we have to tip our cap to their starter,” noted Ruiz. “He was on the attack and kept us off-balanced for the

first six innings. It felt like their offense capitalized on every single mistake we made. We couldn’t get away with anything. “We just couldn’t come up with a big hit to overcome our mistakes.” In game two, Thomas Rudinsky drove in the first runs of the game to give Westmont the early advantage. In the first inning, Rudinsky singled to left to bring in Dennis Shraeder, and in the third, he doubled to right to bring in Haw. Westmont added a third insurance run in the bottom of the fourth when Ryan Desaegher was rewarded for his aggressive base running. When a pitch went to the backstop, Desaegher, who was on first, darted for second and aggressively rounded the bag. When Terlizzi, the Mustangs’ catcher, was slow to pick up the ball, Desaegher attempted to take an additional 90 feet. Terlizzi then skipped the throw to third and saw it sail into the outfield when Johnson couldn’t snag it, and Desaegher got to jog home after moving up three bases following a wild pitch. The insurance run quickly proved to be key for the Warriors, once the Mustangs threatened in the top of the fifth. After four shutout innings from Chad Stoner, the Mustangs rallied to score a run and put two runners in scoring position without recording an out.

Ruiz then opted to hand the ball to Sam Kim, hoping the fresh arm could get the club out of the jam. Kim got the first man he faced to strike out. Then, Kobe Katayama grounded a ball past the diving Rego at first and into right field. The runner from third scored easily, and the runner from second scored when Reid couldn’t handle the throw from Rudinsky in right. Westmont got out of the fifth without any further damage, but found themselves in a 3-3 tie and a potential series-split on the line. With two on and one out in the top of the sixth, reliever Carlos Moreno made the play of the day to hold off The Master’s. As the first base dugout chirped loudly, sensing an opportunity to put a crooked number on the board, Moreno spun around and caught the runner at second sleeping. Following the pick off at second base, Moreno got the third out while still keeping a zero on the board. Westmont fully swung the day’s momentum with two outs in the bottom of the inning. With two outs and nobody on, Parker O’Neil hit a chopper to Johnson at third base. Johnson, who was a clean throw away from keeping the game tied, threw wildly across the diamond. Justin Rodriguez immediately made it

hurt for the Mustangs when he slashed a line drive to the wall in right-center field. With a clean relay, there likely would have been a play at the plate. However, the initial throw from the outfield could not be handled, allowing the go-ahead run to score without a throw. “Justin Rodriguez had a fantastic day today,” said Ruiz. “He picked us up big time with that game-winning hit. Carlos was great out of the pen, and that pick at second base was probably the biggest momentum shift of the day.” Calm, cool, and collected as usual, Moreno retired the Mustangs in order to seal the Saturday split, and series win. “Every weekend we go into, the ultimate goal is to win the series,” reflected Ruiz. “You never want to lose a game, but we lost a game to a good team today. I thought we did a fantastic job bouncing back to take game two. Winning that series against a good Master’s team is big.” Westmont’s first GSAC road trip begins this weekend in Rocklin, where they’ll play a four-game series against William Jessup beginning Friday.

Winning streak ends for Westmont’s women’s basketball team By RON SMITH WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

SANTA CLARITA — Westmont’s streak of five consecutive Golden State Athletic Conference Tournament championship came to an end on Saturday night as the Warriors fell to The Master’s by a score of 63-55. Both the second-ranked Warriors (25-4) and seventhranked Mustangs (29-3) have earned an automatic berth in the upcoming NAIA National Championship. Westmont courtesy of winning the GSAC Regular Season Championship and The Master’s as a result of tonight’s GSAC Tournament victory. “Two really great teams battled it out tonight,” said Westmont head coach Kirsten Moore. “The Master’s played awesome and made a lot of big plays when they needed to. “I told my players in the locker room, I am so proud of the fight they have and the character with which they do everything. I know that this is just going to make us more resolved as we turn to the national tournament. We kept

battling and making big plays when we need it – just not enough tonight.” A defensive battle in the first quarter produced a 12-12 tie at the end of the first 10 minutes of play, with neither team holding more than a two-point advantage. Gabriella Stoll provided the majority of the scoring for the Warriors in the opening frame, draining two free throws and then hitting a 10-foot jump shot with 16 seconds left in the quarter. Destiny Okonkwo, Sydney Brown, Iyree Jarrett and Stefanie Berberabe, each recorded one field goal. The second quarter started much like the first with both teams battling to a 20-20 tie with just under six minutes to play. A 7-0 Mustang run, however, put the Warriors in a hole with 2:22 to play in the first half. With two minutes to go before intermission, Jarrett knocked down a three. After Stephanie Soares scored on a layup with 40 seconds left on the first-half clock, Berberabe made one of two free throw attempts to produce a 29-24 half time score in favor of The

Master’s. The intensity of the battle continued in the third quarter, with the Warriors scoring seven of the first nine points to tie the game at 31. However, the Mustangs responded with an 11-1 run and the Warriors spent the rest of the game trying to catch up. Unfortunately, they were unable to do so. The Warriors cut the lead to five (45-40) at the end of the third period and were within four twice in the final frame, but could get no closer. Jarrett recorded a team-high 18 points for the Warriors while collecting four rebounds and three assists. Both Stoll and Sydney tallied 12 points and seven rebounds with Stoll also producing three assists and two blocks. The Warriors were held to just 27% shooting from the field, largely due to the Mustangs’ 6-6 presence in the lane in the person of Stephanie Soares. Westmont scored just 10 points in the paint, compared to 36 for The Master’s. Soares notched a game-high 24 points, 23 rebounds and seven

assists. “We had a hard time shooting the ball,” acknowledged Moore. “However, if you look at the toughness and hustle plays, it shows we played with so much heart. We had 22 offensive rebounds, we had just five turnovers to their 24 and we played scrappy defense. I am so proud of my team.” While the Warriors had a hard time converting their opportunities into points, the extra possessions from o-boards and turnovers resulted in Westmont taking 74 shots to The Master’s 46, a difference of 28. “I think there are things we can learn from the game and ways we can get better that hopefully can prepare us for the national tournament,” expressed Moore. “We are going to focus on those things moving forward and see how we can improve and make sure we head into the national tournament as strong as we can.” Westmont will host and NAIA National Championship Opening Round Tournament on Friday and Saturday, March 11 and 12. Two games will be played on Friday

with the winners advancing to the finals on Saturday. The other three teams who will participate in the Opening Round Tournament will be announced by the NAIA when it releases the 64-team National Championship

HALLWACHS, Donald Richard

Donald Richard Hallwachs, age 91, passed away on February 8, 2022, in Palmdale, California. Working 40+ years in the aerospace industry, Don started at McDonnell Aircraft in 1956 located in St. Louis, Missouri and worked there for three years until his new bride, Joanne, became homesick for Wisconsin. Returning to Milwaukee, General Motors hired him to test equipment from IBM. A strong work ethic promoted him to a supervisor for the Apollo Ground Support team. Willing to move his family (which had grown to three girls and one boy), General Motors relocated him to Santa Barbara, California working in the defense research laboratory built in Goleta. This relocation was supposed to last one year but stretched into 33 years of groundbreaking work for the U.S. government such as: pingers installed in the South Paciﬁc and the ﬁrst successful delivery that was on time and without delay. Printed wiring boards (PWB) production for computers and the Apollo guidance systems, plus pioneering electronic design to replace paper designs were his standout accomplishments. Retiring in April, 1993, Don and Joanne took advantage of their new freedom and traveled all throughout the United States taking in school and family reunions, watching baseball and football games at every stadium west of the Mississippi River, and participating in bowling tournaments where it was not uncommon for Don to bowl 300-point games. Don and Joanne also volunteered at the La Purisima Mission in Lompoc, California, where they organized and attended the yearly mission days held at the mission. For a while, Don worked with other retired General Motor engineers and made wooden toys to donate to families in the Santa Barbara area. Don is grateful for all of his colleagues who helped him throughout his long electrical engineering career. Don greatly missed Joanne, who predeceased him after 57 years of marriage in 2014. His remaining family of Catherine, Donald Morgan, Judith, and Audrey (who passed away in 2019) and their children all hope Don and Joanne are reunited once again to look down to enjoy our adventures and protect us with their love. We love you Dad and may you rest in peace. Inurnment will be in the Lompoc Cemetery in Lompoc, California. A private memorial service in Lompoc is planned.

Dancing paint bottles held by dancing hands created a balanced view of intertwining shapes and also created a joyful experience,” the artist said.

I positioned myself at the beach called Tarpits in the Carpinteria State Beach. Taking great care to not touch the metal legs of my tripod, I managed to capture this display of natural art before a deluge of rain came ashore.”

Patricia Navarrete and her daughters attend a ceremony honoring families involved in the Medically Vulnerable Pediatric program at Marian Regional Medical Center in Santa Maria.

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

February is American Heart Health Month, and one local mother is raising awareness of congenital heart disease by recognizing children with heart defects. Patricia Navarrete was the parent of baby Josiah, an infant who was born with a heart defect and was then monitored by Marian Regional Medical Center’s Medically Vulnerable Pediatric program, which cares for infants and children with special medical needs in the comfort of their own home. “Families are not alone in this journey, and the journey doesn’t end,” said Ms. Navarette in a news release. “The flowers being presented at (a recent) ceremony are gestures of love in Josiah’s honor. Sometimes, all you need is love! Josiah’s love continues to live through all of us every day.”

Josiah died two years ago due to the defect, and Ms. Navarette is using that experience to honor Josiah’s memory and bring joy to other families and infants dealing with the disease. In a small socially-distanced ceremony located on the hospital campus in Santa Maria, 12 MVP families joined together in the hospital’s healing garden to receive a gift basket, toys and flowers from Ms. Navarette, as well as a blessing over each of the infants. “Our outreach to this medically vulnerable population is continuous, so we build lasting relationships with the families,” said Susan Rasmussen, Marian Regional Medical Center MVP program manager. “These families manage the ongoing care for their high-risk children, so it is especially meaningful to see them honored today.” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

INSTRUCTIONS Fill in the grid so every row, every column and every 3-by-3 grid contains the digits 1 through 9. that means that no number is repeated in any row, column or box. Sudoku puzzles appear on the Diversions page Monday-Saturday and on the crossword solutions page in Sunday’s Life section.

2 $ % * 1

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.

but today you’re a lean, mean cleaning machine. You get it in your head that this is the day for putting your house in order, and you set about single-handedly doing it. That’s way too much cleaning and organizing for one person to do. Why not enlist some help? Bribe your partner or kids, play some loud music, and all of you will finish the tasks in no time. Virgo: Money and friendship rarely mix, Virgo. Keep this in mind today if a friend hits you up for a loan. You’d be better off helping her strategize ways to earn more money. Much as you like to help the underdog, a temporary approach often does more harm than good. A quick loan won’t help your friend’s fundamental problem of compulsive spending. Sagittarius: If you overindulged last night, you’re likely paying the price today. If your head is screaming and your blood feels like molasses, you know that too much of a good thing can make you feel rotten! Much as you feel driven to get out of bed and get on with your chores, there’s no point, Sagittarius. You’d be better off resting. Capricorn: Without a doubt, there’s a lot of work to be done around the house. With today’s planetary configuration, you feel especially vested in making your home look its best. But you don’t have to get everything done today, Capricorn. Rather than scrubbing floors and dusting furniture, why not invest in a few inexpensive items that will perk the place up a bit? Aquarius: You probably aren’t feeling your best today, Aquarius. No doubt your illness is a result of recent overindulgence. You can’t blame anyone but yourself for your crashing headache and queasy stomach. Try not to take your bad mood out on the family. Just ask them to close the curtains and shut the door. Pisces: There is such a thing as being too honest, Pisces. You’ve experienced in the past how your determination to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth can cause hurt feelings. Today try to exercise a bit of tact and diplomacy.

“I have no money, no resources, no hopes. I am the happiest man alive.” — Henry Miller

Aries: You want nothing more than to be alone today. For that to happen, Aries, you need to turn off your phone, shut off the computer, and hang a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door. Even then, your friends are likely to walk past the sign and ask what’s for dinner. It’s one of those days. People want to congregate and they want to do it at your house. Taurus: Don’t be surprised if a lot of uninvited visitors show up today, Taurus. You could host an impromptu social event as neighbors stop by to bring news of changes in the area. You have energy to spare right now, so you’re perfectly able to accommodate your guests. But don’t let yourself get overwhelmed. Simply offer whatever refreshments you happen to have on hand and let the party take its course. Gemini: You can expect to run a lot of errands today, Gemini, even though you would probably prefer to stay at home. You have obligations to fulfill for friends and family, and you can’t bear to let them down. Try to get everything done as quickly as possible so that you’ll still have the afternoon free for yourself. Cancer: You have energy to burn, Cancer, and you intend to use it. Ask friends to join you in the park. Or set up a round-robin tennis match for the afternoon. Enjoy your day outdoors, but take care not to push too hard. If you strain muscles today, it could be weeks before you’re fully healed. Leo: Today you could receive word of a promotion or exciting new challenge at work. Although this is something you’ve wanted for a long time, you may hesitate to accept immediately. Could it be because your self-confidence is rather low right now, Leo? Don’t let that stop you! Scorpio: You can’t help but feel a bit frustrated today, Scorpio. There are places to go, people to see, and you can’t seem to get out of the house. Your responsibilities are at home now, and the situation won’t change for a while. You can, however, plan some minivacations without too much effort. Treat yourself one evening to fantastic take-out food and a sappy old movie. Libra: This is unlike you, Libra,

Artist’s works range from St. Louis arch to dining room table

y youngest years were spent in St Louis, but I was whisked off at the age of 5 to Chicago before I could witness the great St Louis date of Oct. 28, 1965 when the final piece of stainless steel was placed into the Gateway Arch. Designed as a contest entry for the Jefferson Expansion Monument in 1947, Finnish architect Eero Saarinen (19101961) created the world’s tallest arch (630 feet), which I often passed as I returned to visit my father’s St Louis house. Thus, I have always loved the designs of Saarinen. When T.P, asked me to research what she thought might be a Saarinen design in a consignment store find, I eagerly looked into her pedestal table and four tulip chairs. The question of value has to do with originality, as this shape, which began as revolutionary, is now standard (but still beautiful) design vocabulary. “Original” tulip chairs harken back to 1957, manufactured by Knoll Associates, N.Y., and bear manufacturer’s labels. Later versions also made by Knoll (Knoll International Italy/US, also called Knoll Studios) from the 2000s bear the label “Made in Italy.” Today we see knockoffs from China. If the table is Knoll, it will be heavy enameled cast iron. Even at his small scale, it will be almost impossible for a one-person lift. The chair bases, if Knoll, will

feature a swivel mechanism housed inside an aluminum base, and the chair slips will be fiberglass. The best of them have arms. You will pay much more for the originals in the Pedestal line. If T,P.;s table were manufactured by Knoll Associates, N.Y., 1957-to the mid 1960s, she’d pay $2,000ish for the table and the same for the four chairs. She’d pay more if the table had a gorgeous marble top. However, now that mid-century modern is so hot, you will find Pedestal pieces for much more, and at auction you may see fierce competition for pieces dating to the late 1950s. Saarinen disliked the traditional four legs of furniture and disliked the stretcher bars that sometimes connect the legs, calling the cacophony under your rear end “a slum of legs.” Therefore, he birthed the Pedestal Line, designed by Saarinen, and produced by Saarinen and Don Petitt of Knoll’s Design Development Group.

Saarinen built a doll’s house to visualize the table and chairs in a ¼-scale setting. As engineering and production was labored over (plastics were not as widely used), Saarinen tried the fullscale versions in his own home in Bloomfield Hills. By 1958, he had designed the Tulip armchair, the stool, the dining table, the coffee, and the side table. He wanted a piece of furniture to be one piece, reflecting his early training as a sculptor: “The undercarriage of chairs and tables in a typical interior makes an ugly, confusing, unrestful world ... I wanted the chair to be all one thing again.” The motions of sitting and arising should also be calm, thus the chair doesn’t slide. The seat swivels. He modeled the Pedestal designs with clay. Believing that furniture in a room is a problem to be solved, he said, “What interests me is when and where to use these structural plastic shapes. Probing more deeply into different possibilities, one finds many different shapes that are equally logical, some ugly, some earthbound, some exciting, some soaring. The choices really become a sculptor’s choice.” In fact, Saarinen’s wife Lilly Swann was a sculptor, and the plastic arts was his lineage. Saarinen’s father Eliel trained as an architect in Finland, coming to the U.S. to teach at the University of Michigan.

George Gough Booth and his wife Ellen Scripps Booth had purchased 174 acres outside of Detroit with the aim to create one of the world’s finest’s arts academies. Booth commissioned Eliel to design much of the campus at the Cranbrook Academy; Eliel became president of the Academy in 1932. The younger Eero was exposed to his father’s unique teaching style: A student didn’t have to have experience in a given medium or discipline; a design problem was a problem to be solved through experimentation and invention. Amongst Cranbrook’s students were Charles Eames, Harry Bertoia and Florence Knoll. This historical information about Saarinen and his design lineage is proof to my mind that when one discovers the culture of a certain time in design history, you discover the basis for a particular philosophy of design, as we see in T.P.’s Pedestal set. Her table is Knoll International and worth $700, but the chairs are knockoffs. Dr. Elizabeth Stewart’s “Ask the Gold Digger” column appears Mondays in the News-Press. Written after her father’s COVID-19 diagnosis, Dr. Stewart’s book “My Darlin’ Quarantine: Intimate Connections Created in Chaos” is a humorous collection of five “what-if” short stories that end in personal triumphs over present-day constrictions. It’s available at Chaucer’s in Santa Barbara.

There are other legal requirements. You may want to call an attorney right away. If you do not know an attorney, you may want to call an attorney referral service. If you cannot afford an attorney, you may be eligible for free legal services from a nonprofit legal services program. You can locate these nonprofit groups at the California Legal Services Web site (www.lawhelpcalifornia. org), the California Courts Online Self-Help Center (www.courtinfo. ca.gov/selfhelp), or by contacting your local court or county bar association. NOTE: The court has a statutory lien for waived fees and costs on any settlement or arbitration award of $10,000 or more in a civil case. The court’s lien must be paid before the court will dismiss the case. ¡AVISO! Lo han demandado. Si no responde dentro de 30 días, la corte puede decidir en su contra sin escuchar su versión.
