‘Coda’ wins Oscar for best picture

Sen. Monique Limón talks about her legislative priorities

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

“Coda,” the story of a deaf family, won the Oscar for best picture Sunday night during an Academy Awards show that was full of scripted entertainment, momentous history and some unscripted drama. The Oscar for best actor went to a tearful Will Smith for “King Richard,” and the Oscar for best actress was earned by a jubilant Jessica Chastain for starring as a televangelist in “The Eyes of Tammy Faye.” A Santa Barbara County connection appeared during the broadcast when Bill Murray came on the stage during the “in memoriam” segment and praised Montecito filmmaker Ivan Reitman, who directed Mr. Murray in the original “Ghostbusters” movies. Mr. Reitman died Feb. 12. “When Ivan Reitman was 10 years old, his parents gave him a sleeping pill, wrapped him in a blanket, and put him beneath the deck of a boat to escape Czechoslovakia,” Mr. Murray said while an on-stage choir sang songs such as “Spirit in the Sky.” “He made some movies. Some really good movies. He married a pretty girl and raised some children, and they make movies too. Ivan, I love your work.” Mr. Smith won the Oscar for best actor for playing tennis stars Serena and Venus WIilliams’ father, Richard, in “King Richard.” And he used his speech to apologize for

earlier walking up to presenter Chris Rock, and slapping him hard in the face before the Dolby Theater audience. Mr. Rock had just made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith for looking like the title character of “G.I. Jane.” Ms. Pinkett Smith’s appearance is because of alopecia, an autoimmune disorder that she has discussed publicly. The moment between Mr. Smith and Mr. Rock left the Dolby Theater in stunned silence. After returning to his seat, Mr. Smith cussed at Mr. Rock. The live broadcast at that point was muted, but Mr. Smith’s words were clear to anyone watching the ABC telecast as he told Mr. Rock not to make jokes about his wife. Later, it was a different emotional moment when Mr. Smith accepted his Oscar. With tears streaming down his face, Mr. Smith referred to the moment with Mr. Rock, and said, “I want to apologize to The Academy; I want to apologize to all of my fellow nominees. I hope the Academy invites me back.” “Making this film, I got to protect Aunjanue Ellis, who is one of the strongest, most delicate people I’ve ever met. I got to protect Saniyya (Sidney) and Demi (Singleton), the two actresses that played Venus and Serena (Williams). I’m being called on in my life to love people and to protect people, and to be a river to my people.” Please see OSCARS on A2

State Sen. Monique Limón, D-Santa Barbara, seen here speaking in front of the Santa Barbara City College Food Pantry in 2019, has focused on a variety of social issues in the Legislature. “I understand the issues that impact students and families really extend beyond a classroom,” she told the News-Press.

By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

In the legislature, Sen. Monique Limón isn’t focused on just one policy area. Her priorities run the gamut, from health care to pay equity to the environment and much more. Sen. Limón’s multifaceted approach to politics is indicative of her time working in education. She is the former assistant director for the McNair Scholars Program at UCSB and served multiple terms on the Santa Barbara Unified School District board. She’s mentored a bevy of UCSB and Santa Barbara City College students, getting to intimately understand their needs and those of their families. “I understand the issues that impact students and families really extend beyond a classroom,” Sen. Limón, D-Santa Barbara, told the News-Press. “Everything that is happening in a community shows up in the classroom, and that is where my interest in different policy areas started.” One legislative priority for Sen. Limón — an issue that’s been of great importance for many years for her — is Alzheimer’s and dementia care. In October, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed her bill establishing a “first in the nation” new program giving Medi-Cal providers (California’s Medicaid program) training and incentives to conduct cognitive health tests for Alzheimer’s detection and diagnosis.

Sen. Limón said she wants to continue to enable community health providers to increase outreach and education about early detection of Alzheimer’s. She is particularly passionate about helping with Alzheimer’s education and detection after experiencing her grandmother Genoveva Gil’s battle with the disease. Ms. Gil passed away in 2019. Another recently successful bill from Sen. Limón gave the California Geologic Energy Management Division, or CalGEM, the authority to spend $5 million per year to plug abandoned and deserted oil wells. This is “an issue that really so many constituents email me about: the fact that we have to do a better job of plugging and properly abandoning our deserted oil wells in the district,” she said. “We’re looking at the mechanisms to safely do that in order to eliminate and reduce some pollutants that go into the air.” And Sen. Limón is also championing pay equity legislation. Her SB 1162 would require companies to publicly report salary data broken down by ethnicity, race and sex for potential employees to review. “SB 1162 will help identify the gender and race-based pay disparities by requiring pay transparency at every stage of the employment process, from hiring, to promotion, and Please see LIMÓN on A2

Grocery workers authorize strike By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Sen. Monique Limón speaks at a reproductive rights rally in December in De la Guerra Plaza in Santa Barbara. She has focused on other issues as well, and they vary from early detection of Alzheimer’s to pay equity.

Workers at Vons, Albertsons, Pavilions and Ralphs stores on the Central Coast and throughout Southern California have authorized a strike in case an agreement isn’t reached on a new contract. The old contract expired March 6, and talks are set to resume Wednesday. Negotiations began Jan. 28. The United Food and Commercial Workers union has been seeking a $5 a hour raise during the three-year contract, as well as more hours for workers and increased staffing. The answer isn’t a strike, according to Albertsons, which owns Vons and Pavilions. “No one wins in a strike — not our associates, not our company, not our communities and not the union,” Albertsons said in a statement. “The outcome of the strike authorization vote does not change anything related to this process. We remain committed to negotiating a contract that is fair to all parties.” The Los Angeles Times reported Ralphs saying the strike authorization vote creates “unnecessary concern for our associates and communities at a time when we should be

coming together in good faith bargaining to find solutions and compromise. At Ralphs, we remain focused on settling a deal with the UFCW.” Previously, a strike was authorized in 2019, but an agreement was reached without a walkout. Last week workers “overwhelmingly” voted “yes” to authorize an unfair labor practice strike, should one become necessary, according to a news release from the UFCW, which represents more than 47,000 employees. “The companies are not playing fair by violating our rights and federal labor laws. After all the hard work we’ve done through the COVID pandemic serving customers so they can feed their families, we deserve to be able to feed ours,” said Rachel Fournier, a Bargaining Committee member and a cashier at Ralphs in Los Angeles. “While Kroger made more than $4 billion in profits last year, many employees are struggling to make ends meet. This has to change. It is time for the grocery corporations to do better and come back to the bargaining table with an adequate contract proposal that respects our work.” email: dmason@newspress.com.

Bill would help turn golf courses into affordable housing

By MADISON HIRNEISEN

THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER

(The Center Square) — Local governments in California who want to convert their golf courses into affordable housing could receive state funds to do so under a new bill advanced by a legislative committee. Assembly Bill 1910, authored by Assemblymember Cristina Garcia, would establish a program providing grants to local agencies to convert locally owned golf courses into housing and public open space. The proposal states that the golf course development must make 25% of new units affordable housing, and 15% of the development must be public open space. Lawmakers advanced the legislation Wednesday in the Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee. Assemblymember Garcia, D-Bell Gardens, told lawmakers that the bill would provide another tool for the state to address the housing crisis in Southern California. According to an analysis of the bill, California has about 1,100 golf courses, with nearly 250 owned by local governments. Given that the

average size of a golf course is 150 acres, the analysis estimated California’s municipally-owned golf courses could hold 375,000 housing units at moderate density. Assemblymember Garcia said in highly dense communities like her own, there isn’t a lot of open space left, and golf courses could provide a way to expand housing opportunities and publicly accessible space. “This is a voluntary program for municipally-owned golf courses for communities that want to look at the possibility of converting them into a combination of open space and affordable housing to help address two dire needs in our community,” Ms. Garcia said Wednesday. Ms. Garcia introduced similar legislation during the last legislative session, though it failed to pass through the Assembly Appropriations Committee in January. Her reintroduced legislation, AB 1910, will have to go through the same committee to get a floor vote. Both Assemblymember Garcia’s past and present legislation received pushback from members of several golf associations, which say the bill “singles out” locally-owned golf courses for development.

Nick Bailey, vice president of the Northern California PGA section, spoke on behalf of the California Alliance for Golf. He said the bill would reduce green space in communities that already lack it and “excommunicate golf from the park and recreation family.” Mr. Bailey also noted that golf courses provide habitat, promote biodiversity and sequester carbon to the benefit of the surrounding community. “AB 1910 causes considerably more harm than any possible housing good that might come from it,” Mr. Bailey told the committee. Committee Vice Chair Assemblymember Kelly Seyarto, R-Murrieta, who voted against the bill, raised concerns about maintaining access for youth in the community. He noted that several golf courses, including the Chester L. Washington course in Los Angeles, provide programs for youth who may not otherwise be able to drive another 10 or 15 miles to access another course. “I fear that losing space like that for them will be impacting their lives because, if it’s not available at Chester L. Washington and that’s turned into housing instead, then they’re not going to have the opportunity,” Mr. Seyarto said.

In response, Assemblymember Garcia said her bill creates a process for jurisdictions to have those conversations with the community, noting that community members would likely “activate” to advocate to preserve the space. Other lawmakers who supported the bill said it would allow local control while giving local governments the option to receive funding if they choose to move forward with development plans. Assemblyman Ash Kalra, D-San Jose, said he has three public golf courses in his district, and in the last few years, the city council has had conversations about whether to use the land for housing. The council ended up declining to do so, but Mr. Kalra noted that if they would change their mind down the road, they would now have the opportunity to receive some incentive funds from the state. “We’re actually bringing that conversation back to the local level, and that’s what I really appreciate about this legislation,” Mr. Kalra said. Ms. Garcia’s bill was sent to the Assembly Committee on Local Government following Wednesday’s vote. Madison Hirneisen covers California for The Center Square.

Arizona Legislature approves bill vetting all voters for citizenship before they can cast a ballot By COLE LAUTERBACH THE CENTER SQUARE REGIONAL EDITOR

(The Center Square) — Arizona lawmakers approved new voter safeguards that supporters said will ensure only U.S. citizens can cast ballots. A unanimous Republican caucus approved House Bill 2492 in the Senate, sending the legislation to Gov. Doug Ducey for consideration. While Arizona is one of the few states that already require proof of citizenship before registering to vote, residents can bypass that by registering for a federal-only ballot under the National Voter Registration Act and can vote in federal contests. HB 2492 would require counties to check those individuals for citizenship against multiple databases. Counties must reject any federal applications if they find the individual is not a U.S. citizen. Any official knowingly ignoring the requirement could be charged with a Class 6 felony. Democrats accused Republicans of seeking to purge the voter rolls as revenge for the 2020 general election, where President Joe Biden narrowly defeated former President Donald Trump.

“This is absurd, illogical and discriminatory,” Sen. Sally Ann Gonzales, D-Tucson, said. Constitutional analysts told GOP lawmakers in another hearing the bill presents some issues that could face a legal challenge. Opponents were quick to note that in debate. “We are voting on a bill that is unconstitutional and has a tremendous impact on the voters of the state of Arizona,” Sen. Martín Quezada, D-Phoenix, said. “There are many provisions in this bill that are offensive, and that will have a negative impact on some communities more than others.” Republicans said their legislation simply ensures U.S. citizens are the only ones voting in U.S. elections. “The issue is making sure the citizens of this country are voting,” state Sen. Warren Petersen, R-Gilbert, said. “If you’re not a citizen of this country, you’re not allowed to vote. We have over 35,000 people registered to vote where we are not certain whether they’re citizens or not.” The bill passed along partisan lines. Democrats gathered in Phoenix on Thursday to pressureGov. Ducey to veto the legislation.

The UCSB baseball team won its third straight game of the spring break road trip Saturday afternoon taking down UC Davis 9-3. The bats came alive for the visiting Gauchos, who outhit the Aggies 15-7 and posted a four-spot in the top of the second inning. Mike Gutierrez earned the start, tossing 4.1 innings of work and allowing three runs on five hits while striking out three. In his relief came three Gauchos in Matt Ager, Hayden Hattenbach and Alex

Schrier, who all kept clean sheets. Ager (1-0) earned his first career win, tossing 2.2 innings of one-hit ball with four Ks. Five Gauchos collected multi-hit performances, including Jordan Sprinkle, who stayed hot with a 4-for-5 performance and Blake Klassen, who went a perfect 3-for3 with a walk. Sprinkle collected a double and an RBI, and Klassen had a pair of doubles and an RBI. Zander Darby went 2-for-5 and homered for the second straight game, giving him his fourth of the season. He added a double and a team-high four RBI.

The scoring got started in the second with Klassen and Kyle Johnson collecting back-to-back singles to lead off the inning. Christian Kirtley then shot one down the left line to score Klassen for the first run of the day. With two outs, the top of the order came around and Darby stepped to the plate to crush a three-run homer to make it 4-0. The sole scoring efforts of the game for UC Davis came in the fourth where the Aggies collected a bases-clearing double to cut the lead to 4-3. The bats kept going for the

Westmont women’s tennis team defeats San Diego Christian By JACOB NORLING WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

The Westmont women’s tennis (7-9, 5-2 GSAC) went head-tohead with San Diego Christian (3-6, 3-2 GSAC) Saturday in La Jolla. Due to time restrictions at the venue, the two clubs began in singles play as opposed to doubles. Due to the Warriors’ hot start, Westmont clinched a victory over San Diego Christian before the beginning of doubles, ultimately taking the match 5-1. “I’m really proud of our performance today,” said Westmont Associate Head Coach Cade Pierson. “We have a knack for attracting weird situations. I think very few matches this year have gone according to plan, whether it be because of time or weather. Today was along the lines of those experiences. “We were playing at a beautiful venue, but with a tight time constraint, so at the last minute we found out we were going to start in singles.” In singles, Rachal Jackson made quick work of Anthea Weiland by a score of 6-1, 6-2 on one. On four and six, Christine

Hemry and Kaley Houshmand saw similar success, posting 6-4, 6-2 and 6-1, 7-5 wins, respectively. Also taking a singles match was Francesca Aguirre on three, by a score of 7-5, 6-0. Sophia Ostovany was the lone Warrior to drop a match for the Warriors, who clinched victory before the beginning of doubles. “We hopped out on the court and played really smart tennis from the start,” said Pierson. “Part way through, our time was up on the court, so some of our players had to stop and treat it like a rain delay, basically. Despite that, we did a really good job staying composed and fighting through. “Rachal has done a great job keeping her mental composure, and she has really been working on that. Francesca played a really good match. She had a tougher first set, and then really dominated in the second. Christine also played a really good match — and against an opponent she had lost against in their previous two matches.” Regardless of the match’s already determined outcome, the club’s still proceeded to compete in doubles at day’s end.

In doubles play, the Warriors carried their momentum and took all three matches. On one, Jackson and Hemry came out victorious 6-4 over Wieland and Angelika Sidorov, and on two, Emily Peterson and Aguirre defeated Franzi Niederle and Tatiana Harvey 6-3. Logan Jackson and Ostovany completed the doubles sweep with a 7-5 win on court three. “Today, we came out and took charge from the beginning,” said Pierson. “Doubles was solid. Rachal and Christine took an early lead, and their opponents stepped it up as the match went on. They had to fight through some nerves to pull it out, but they did well. “Emily and Francesca have had a lot of rough losses, but today they really stepped it up and found a way to win convincingly. Sophia and Logan played really good doubles as well. They communicated well and played up to the level that they have been at lately.” Pierson’s Warriors return to action Friday when they take on the UC Irvine Anteaters. Then the club has one final GSAC regular season match, on April

9 against Marymount, before heading to Arizona for the GSAC Tournament. Jacob Norling is the sports information assistant at Westmont College. email: sports@newspress.com

UC San Diego defeats UCSB softball team

By BRITT CALVILLO UCSB SPORTS WRITER

The UCSB softball team dropped both games in its doubleheader with UC San Diego, losing 8-4 and 9-1 to the Tritons Saturday afternoon at Campus Diamond. With the losses, the Gauchos fall to 9-22 and 1-5 in conference play on the season. The Tritons opened in the first game, scoring in the top of the first inning with a solo home run from their center fielder Keila Bosinger. Shortstop Madelyn McNally responded to the Tritons with a single up the left side just before stealing second base — putting herself in scoring position. Junior Sam Denehy then hit a single through the right side, plating McNally and tying up the game. San Diego found two runs in the third and another three in the fourth, moving the score to 6-1 in favor of the Tritons. Both teams were scoreless in the fifth, but UCSD scored another run in the sixth before moving to defense.

The Gauchos, down by four, had their best offense in the bottom of the sixth. Lexy Mills, Sam Denehy and Ashley Donaldson were responsible for three of the nine hits by Santa Barbara. Mills recorded her first double as a Gaucho just before advancing to third after a single from Denehy. Denehy stole second as Chloe Stewart was at bat, and an error by the Triton catcher allowed Mills to make it home. With the score now 7-2, Ashley Donaldson hit her first triple of the season, bringing Denehy across the plate. A Triton throwing error to third base, which resulted in the ball going in the Gaucho dugout, allowed Donaldson to advance to home plate and cut the score to 7-4. The Tritons put up another run in the seventh, and although the Gauchos outhit their opponents 9-8, the hits did not translate into runs, and the game ended 8-4. GAME 2 Six Gauchos were responsible

for the seven hits in their second game of the day. This includes Korie Thomas, Maci Fines, Sam Denehy and Lexy Mills, who each had a hit apiece. Madelyn McNally registered two hits and is riding a 5-game on-base streak. UCSB entered the bottom of the first down by one but was able to tie up the game after McNally scored on a fielding error by the Triton’s first baseman. Junior pitcher Lexy Mills tossed three shutout innings before allowing a Triton run in the fifth that gave UCSD the lead, 2-1 Late Triton runs were the downfall for the Gauchos as San Diego scored four in the sixth and another three in the seventh. UCSB wasn’t able to make up the difference, resulting in a 9-1 loss. UCSB will continue conference play on the road next weekend, competing in a three-game series against Cal Poly at Bob Janssen Field.

Long Beach beats UCSB in men’s volleyball By DANIEL MOEBUS-BOWLES UCSB SPORTS WRITER

No. 6 UCSB men’s volleyball was swept at home by No. 3 Long Beach State Saturday night 25-21, 26-24, 25-22. This is the first time since dropping two matches to start the season that the Gauchos have been beaten in back-toback games. Ryan Wilcox led the Gauchos with 10 kills, and Geste Bianchi added eight. Each of them had five digs as well. Dayne Chalmers paced UCSB

with eight digs, and Patrick Paragas had 32 assists, all three aces and three blocks. The Gauchos were outhit .350 to .263, and The Beach was strong at the net, sending down nine team blocks to UCSB’s 5.5. The first set saw the Gauchos swing an impressive .517 clip while converting on 75% of their sideout opportunities, but LBSU was even better hitting a .586 and converting 19-of-22 (86%) of its sideout chances. The two teams went back and forth early until The Beach found a 5-0 run that

put them up 13-10. They never surrendered the lead after that. The second frame was neck and neck throughout with the teams trading points through the early going. The Gauchos led by as many as three at 18-15, but LBSU clawed its way back to ice it at 20-20. UCSB battled off a set-point to force extras, but a service error followed by a Beach kill sucked the air out of the gym giving Long Beach the 26-24 win. The third and final set saw 10 ties but just one lead change as UCSB led early until giving

away the lead at 12-11. The two teams nearly went tit-for-tat on 16 straight plays, trading sideouts until they met at 19 apiece. From there, LBSU closed the match on a 6-3 run. Next on the dockett is the away edition of the Gauchos’ homeand-home series with UC Irvine at 7 p.m. Wednesday. Senior night is set for Friday at Rob Gym when the Gauchos welcome the Anteaters at 7 p.m. Daniel Moebus-Bowles writes about sports for UCSB. email: sports@newspress.com

Study: Phoenix nets most inbound movers By TOM JOYCE THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER

(The Center Square) — People are moving to Arizona in droves, especially the Phoenix area. Last year, the Phoenix metro area took the top spot nationwide in terms of the number of people moving to the city compared to the rate at which people were leaving the city, according to a study conducted by Allied. Meanwhile, Arizona as a whole was a popular state for people to move to, even outside

of the Phoenix metro area. It ranked fifth among inbound states in the country last year. States that ranked ahead of Arizona on the list included South Carolina, Tennessee, North Carolina and Florida. Meanwhile, Arizona ranked ahead of Texas on the list. “In 2021, residents intensified the trend that began in 2020 of moving to more affordable neighborhoods,” Zillow senior economist Jeff Tucker said in a news release. “The combination of rapidly rising home values and more available remote-working jobs

has pushed people to seek out parts of the country where their home-buying dollar goes further. But some of 2020’s most popular destinations like Phoenix and Austin have gotten so expensive, so quickly that they are losing some of their appeal as affordable options.” The study found that the average interstate mover moved to a zip code where the average home price was $35,800 more than the average of the area where they came. It notes that, for example, the Phoenix metro area drew new

people from more expensive areas like Chicago, Seattle and Portland, Ore. “By combining our moving trend data with housing data from Zillow, we are able to provide more robust insights into how people are moving and the importance of housing affordability,” Allied Vice President and General Manager Steven McKenna said in the news release. “Our team is proud to have kept America moving safely during the pandemic and we look forward to continued growth and innovation in the new year.

Washington governor signs bill ending parental fees for incarcerated children

By BRETT DAVIS

THE CENTER SQUARE SENIOR REPORTER

(The Center Square) — Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee signed into law a bill that ends the practice of “parent pay” — that is, requiring parents to pay for their child’s incarceration with a portion of their gross income. Requested by the state Department of Children, Youth, and Families, the bill received broad bipartisan support, passing 85-13 in the House and 41-6 in the Senate. Gov. Inslee signed it into law on Thursday. House Bill 2050 repeals the 45-year-old practice described in the legislation itself as representing “a dated policy and philosophy that is not aligned with current racial equity and social justice reforms. Pursuing these parents is unfair and takes advantage of people at their

most vulnerable, undermining government credibility and the integrity of the legal process. Placing these parents in debt may also result in unstable home environments, deterring successful youth re-entry back into the community.” The bill also repeals parent pay fees for children incarcerated at the county level and forgives more than $1 million in debt for more than 200 families statewide, according to a legislative summary from Virginia Barry, policy and government affairs manager for Stand for Children Washington, one of the advocacy groups that supported DCYF’s push for the bill’s passage. Kia Franklin, SFCW’s executive director, agreed with the bill’s assessment that parent pay is antiquated and harmful. “It’s having a bad impact on families and kids,” Ms.

Franklin said of the parent pay policy. Only about 20% of people actually pay, she explained, noting those that can’t pay often end up “with credit dings and wages being garnished.” What ends up happening, she said, is that DCYF foots the bill, then asks the legislature to recoup its funds through the state budget. The fees are intended to help cover the cost of a youth’s incarceration and treatment while confined. But because only a small proportion of parents are assessed, and an even smaller portion of them actually pay on time, DCYF has for a while now incorporated the full price of juvenile detention into its spending plans. Abolishing parent fees would require about $5 million over the next six years, according to the agency. According to HB 2050’s fiscal note summary, Chelan

County’s annual parent pay revenue collections have steadily declined over the years. In 2011, that figure was $22,000. By 2019, it was down to $14,257. In 2020, it was $11,831, and last year it was $8,703. “DCYF has been working to eliminate practices that are harmful to children and their families, and particularly those practices that are financially stupid,” said DCYF Secretary Ross Hunter in a news release. “Requiring parents to pay for the incarceration of their children is a prime example. It probably costs more to collect than we bring in and may make it less likely for youth to reunify with their families, destabilizing their transition back to the community. We’re excited the Legislature repealed it!” Brett Davis covers the Washington state government for The Center Square.

Lawsuit challenges ban on swimming with dolphins By MERRILEE GASSER THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) — A ban by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration prohibiting people from swimming with spinner dolphins in Hawaii is being challenged in court. The rule is unconstitutional, according to the Pacific Legal Foundation, a national nonprofit that defends Americans threatened by government overreach and abuse that filed the lawsuit on behalf of several plaintiffs. It accused the NOAA of overstepping its bounds and allowing a civil servant not appointed by the president or confirmed by the Senate to instill a rule not within their legal authority. NOAA Fisheries finalized the rule in September. It banned people from swimming with, approaching or remaining within 50 yards of spinner dolphins. It applies to any person or object, including boats, canoes, paddleboards and drones. The regulation was meant to protect Hawaiian spinner dolphins against disturbance and intense viewing pressures from commercial and recreational wildlife viewers, NOAA wrote on its website. The Pacific Legal Foundation said the ban was an unlawful move by a low-level federal bureaucrat who destroyed a business avenue central to the livelihoods of many Hawaiians. Dolphin guide Lisa Denning lost 90% of her business after the ban, according to the group. Another business owner, Shelly Carey, who is a boat captain and

runs Dolphin Discoveries, saw a dramatic drop in revenue. Small business owners and mental health professionals in Hawaii filed the lawsuit Wednesday, pushing back against what they called a Hawaiispecific regulation. Pacific Legal Foundation, who is representing the group at no charge, said professionals who depended on the industry are now struggling. One of the plaintiffs, Eliza Wille, works as a therapist and said she no longer can conduct an important part of her practice, which included swimming with dolphins. “This powerful form of experiential therapy draws out emotions in patients who have difficulties in traditional talktherapy settings,” Pacific Legal Foundation wrote. “The ban completely shuts down this mode of therapy, without regard for the value individuals receive from interacting with the playful animals, despite the lack of harm to Hawaii’s spinner dolphin population. The prohibition of dolphin interactions also threatens the tourism industry that relies heavily on respectful interactions with wildlife.” “Especially when regulations have devastating implications for businesses and individuals, it is crucial that decision-makers can be held accountable,” said Michael Poon, an attorney with Pacific Legal Foundation. “Under the Constitution, issuing regulations is the job of appointed officials who answer to the democratic process, not low-level career bureaucrats.” A representative for NOAA said it was unable to comment on matters of ongoing litigation.

Santa Maria High School students recently saw the PCPA play “Mother Road,” by Latino playwright Octavio Solis. “Our local youth should have the chance to see a world-class play that is culturally relevant and that encourages people to empathize with the struggles of marginalized communities,’’ said teacher Ricardo Valencia.

Santa Maria students see ‘Mother Road’

SANTA MARIA — Seventyfive Santa Maria High School students and community members last week went to Allan Hancock College to see the PCPA play “Mother Road,” by Latino playwright Octavio Solis. The play addresses themes relating to family, injustice toward immigrants and farm workers, racism, homophobia and more.

The field trip was a chance to treat students to a much deserved off-campus educational opportunity, according to Chicano/ Latino Studies Teacher Ricardo Valencia. “Our local youth should have the chance to see a world-class play that is culturally relevant and that encourages people to empathize with the struggles of marginalized

communities,’’ Mr. Valencia said. Santa Maria High School students said they liked the play. “It brought awareness to how racism was and is still an issue in America,” junior Lupita Tovar said. “The actors put a lot of emotion into the role they played. Their acting made me feel like I was there to witness the racism the character Martin went

through because he was MexicanAmerican.” According to junior Leslie Hernandez, “During the trip to AHC, it genuinely opened my eyes as they guided us through campus. They encouraged us to go to college. The PCPA program was really amazing too.” — Dave Mason

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.

5 = 7 - * 9 2 0 . 6 8 $ ;

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.

Lamp is from a genre known as early modern, mid-century kitsch

S. has a lamp that her husband picked up at a garage sale, which is in the figure of a young gondolier full body, for the base, rendered in gold with lipstick pink lips, dressed in Venetian bloomers and a little vest. She sent me a photo a while ago and writes to me now she is ready to have me write about it. Took her some time to decide. And I know why she was waiting to hear about this lamp. Exotic lamps can be valuable if they are 19th century. S.S.’s lamp is not 19th century, but it is very much American mid20th-century. This lamp and Chalkware lamps like it are either not valuable at all, because of what they represent — or to some collectors — priceless, because of their reflection of a certain era and a certain mindset, which to us today is rather hard to imagine. The genre is early modern, mid-century kitsch or put more nicely, mid-century atomic. I am not making this up; these are the categories used at auction. The lamps are controversial today because they were not controversial when they were manufactured from the 1945-1960s. Typically, these chalkware lamps (more about the material later) were figures of “exotic” cultural men and women, usually sold as a his and her pair. The exotic in art is a relic from the Deco era, in which exoticism in the decorative arts was artistic and cross-fertilizing. French Deco with the fine Egyptian flair is a notable example. But when we hit the mid 1940s, the syncretic flavor of early Deco devolves into, dare I say, ethnic stereotypes. S.S.’s lamp is a milder version, as it is a sweet young Italian boy. But

some of these chalkware lamps are seen as insulting today: His and Her Asian figures, African figures, Congo figures, Hawaiian figures, and because of the stereotyping, they fall outside of what collectors who collect mid- century modern want. What characterizes these chalkware lamps is the frightening thematic over-the-top quality. Not to mention the stereotyping, but these lamps were extremely popular. My grandmother had a pair; I bet yours did too. Therefore, the category of these chalkware lamps falls outside of our present craze for geometric mid-century modern, and they are termed early modern, midcentury kitsch or atomic. The atomic moniker has to do with something not related to the figures themselves, but to the shade. Yes, the shade on atomic lamps are fiberglass, and sometimes those shades are threaded through with amoeba-shaped lines. You get the picture. S.S.’s lamp, because it had a Venetian figure, might have had a Venetian Blind-style shade, (I am not kidding). Those were popular because you could pull a tiny cord and raise the lamp shade, and they were usually in that thin metal of 1950s Venetian blinds. Thematic literalism. The best of these lamps are not chalkware, which is a fancy way of saying plaster poured into a mold, but gypsum. And the early 19th century figural lamps are not chalkware and can be valuable. Chalkware had a special massproduced quality. One of the factories that made these his and hers (mated) thematic lamps (usually for the top of

the TV set!) were Reglor, whose Harem man and captured woman in turquoise harem pants with a threaded fiberglass shade can sell for $800 the pair. “Keen” colors (there’s an old word) were favored, such as reds, blacks, golds, greens, pinks by, for example, the Continental Art Co., whose light-touch yellow/green Fairy pair(one young fairy boy, one girl) can sell for $500 the pair, with fiberglass shades with a cloud-lace design. Continental also made a Native American mother and child in papoose with a wicker inverted basket shade. Perhaps the best name ever for these lamps was “Plasto,” a factory that made themselves famous by their fake plaster driftwood pairs of lamps, or their Revolutionary Era Militia soldier lamp, who carried a drum and a musket; the shade was olde worlde patriotic symbols superimposed on a map of Olde Virginny. Perhaps the most alarming chalkware lamps I have seen are the pair of gyrating Conga dancers in radiation green. He: exposed chest, drum between the legs, a vest with ruffled sleeves, bare feet, turban. She: a split skirt, a ruffled bra, ruffled sleeves, one arm raised, surmounted(each) by a double tiered fiberglass shade, the top shade rising above the whole lamp, the smaller of the two shades, alternating white and green. The value of S.S.’s lamp is $750. 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 presentday constrictions. It’s available at Chaucer’s in Santa Barbara.
