Christopher Wight took first place in Solvang’s first LEGO building competition. Mr. Wight’s previous LEGO craftwork has helped with projects for the LA Auto Show and the construction of an oversized model of the neurology wing at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. On Sunday, Mr. Wight’s first-place creation was a viking ship with the Danish mill bakery on top. The first place prize was $5,000 cash. “On Saturday the competitors were given a tour of the town and all the Danish bakeries. He really interpreted and took in everything and soaked up all the little information and reflected that in his artwork. When he was building, locals were giving him information on the town, they told him about the Nisse or small gnomes and he included one as well,” Karen Conway, Program Manager for Cogs & Marvel, told the News-Press

on Sunday. Cogs & Marvel was the organizing company for the event. In second place was Bill Vollbrecht, who created the replica of the chef and his daughter featuring Danish pastries. The second place prize was $2500 cash. Mr. Volbrecht is a former Master Model Designer and LEGOLAND Parks designer. The third place prize of $1000 cash was awarded to Tiffeny Thompson of Bakersfield. Ms. Thompson recreated a busy Danish village which included four different bakeries. On Sunday at 11 a.m., all competitors were required to bring their completed projects to Copenhagen St., where they were placed on display before the judging began at noon with four judges and one special guest judge, Allyson Gail. Ms. Gail is the Event Manager and LEGO coordinator for the competition. Ms. Gails’ work has been featured on The Kelly Clarkson Show and The Brick Brothers by LEGO. The Danish-rooted town of Solvang

played home to the building competition of the Danish block brand, serving as the inspiration behind the two-day family friendly competition, pitting some of the top LEGO builders in Solvang and the surrounding area against each other. Kid-favorite LEGO blocks were originally made of wood; Danish carpenter Ole Kirk Christiansen created the first version of the building blocks in the 1930s. Denmark is still home to the original LEGOLAND and LEGO House. “I am inspired by the creativity of each artist and how they interpret Solvang as a town and the bakeries individually. They are all so different. Families are coming along and seeing the projects. We had a lot of people come through yesterday as well and the ones still in town will get to see the finished projects,” said Ms. Conway. Competitors created their own unique takes on Solvang’s five fabled Danish bakeries. Projects include replicas of bakeries around town, lifesize replicas Please see LEGOS on A4

At 5:48 p.m. Saturday, the Santa Barbara County Fire Department reported a multicasualty incident (MCI) stemming from Deltopia, Isla Vista’s annual, unsanctioned party that frequently features heavy crowded streets and balconies. The yearly event also results in the closing of Isla Vista beaches due

to an infamous incident several years ago in which copious amounts of trash and debris, including human waste, had to be removed from the waterfront. Saturday’s medical response involved multiple severe trauma victims associated with the heavy crowds. “By declaring an MCI, first responders and the hospitals are able to triage and

transport multiple (victims) to different hospitals more efficiently,” reported Capt. Daniel Bertucelli, PIO for Santa Barbara County Fire The MCI was rescinded at approximately 7:27 p.m. on Saturday, as call volumes had dropped to a reasonable level.

On Sunday, the Santa Barbara Zoo celebrated El Dia del Niño, or Children’s Day, from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. El Dia del Niño is a holiday originating from Mexico. “The Zoo is very inclusive so we try to celebrate a variety of different cultures.” David Velazquez, Director of Business Operations for the Santa Barbara Zoo, told the NewsPress. El Dia del Niño is one of the most popular celebrations at the zoo, and recognizes the importance of children in our society. The day featured Latin music, a children’s talent show, delicious food and activities. El Pecas also performed live music and community partners such as parent group PEP and the Police Activities League were on-site as well. “This is our annual event.

We celebrate by having latin music that we play up at the hilltop. It is an event that the latin community attends. We have different booths. We have conservation partners and we talk about what we do inside our walls. We are more than just a zoo. We also have bounce houses and cakes. It is just a fun day at the zoo,” said Mr. Velazquez. The event included a variety of activities for children, including a large bounce house, face painting and train rides. “One thing that is different is the covid impact. We are still practicing our timed entry, and it has broken up the day, and it creates a much better guest experience. It allows guests in gradually, less waiting in long lines and fewer wait times. The timed entry creates a much better experience for both staff and guests,” said Mr. Velazquez.

UCSB women’s water polo puts up good fight in loss to Long Beach State By MICHAEL JORGENSON SBCC SPORTS WRITER

Michael Jorgenson works in communications/media relations at Santa Barbara City College. email: sports@newspress.com

UCSB tied the game again with an RBI groundout by Johnson in the bottom of the third and took its first lead in the fourth as Willow scored on a sac-fly from Darby. It was John Newman Jr.’s time in the fifth, as the DH singled up the middle to score Nick Vogt from third. With two outs in the sixth the Bows intentionally walked the hot bat of Johnson, but it would prove to be the wrong choice as Kirtley stepped into the box and crushed a three-run home run to

left-center to put the Gauchos up 8-3. Ager nearly faced the minimum, allowing just one hit and a hit batter in his three innings of work. UCSB will look to sweep the series tomorrow afternoon in game three. First pitch is set for 1 p.m. at Caesar Uyesaka Stadium.

Westmont baseball splits with Hawks By RON SMITH WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

Chad Stoner pitched a complete-game win to help #6 Westmont Baseball (35-6, 235 GSAC) rebound from a loss in the first game and earn a split in today’s doubleheader with San Diego Christian (10-32, 6-16). The Hawks used an eight-run seventh inning in the early game to defeat the Warriors 10-7. The Warriors responded with an 11-1 win in game number two with Stoner limiting the Haws to just three hits. While the Warriors and Hawks were competing on Hope International’s home field in Fullerton, the #15 Royals (31-10, 18-6) were 20 miles away taking on the #9 Lions of Vanguard (35-8, 18-6) in a battle of the second and third place teams. Vanguard took both games on Saturday, winning by scores of 7-6 and 3-1. As a result, Vanguard and Hope are now tied for second place, three games behind Westmont. The Warriors have four conference games remaining while Vanguard and Hope each have eight. Vanguard will travel to William Jessup (19-20, 8-14) then host Westmont on April 22 and 23. Hope will play at OUAZ (16-22, 7-14) next weekend and host The Master’s (22-16, 9-13) on April 22 and 23. To clinch the GSAC regular season championship, Westmont has a magic number of four. The Warriors need some combination of Westmont wins and losses by the second place team that add up to four to claim the title. “As long as I have been in the GSAC, which is a long time, it always comes down to the last weekend,” said Westmont head coach Robert Ruiz. “As many calculations as I have thought about doing, I know better. At the end of the day, we have to take care of our own business. “I’m not thinking about magic numbers or about what other teams are doing. I’d like to, but I know better. The teams we are competing with to stay at the top of this conference are two very good teams. We respect their ability to win baseball games and we know we are going to have to be prepared if we are going to be able to stay on top.” In today’s first game, Westmont posted one run in the top of the first after Robbie Haw led off the inning with a single. A ground ball by Brady Renck to short could have resulted in a double play. However, Haw beat the second baseman to the bag, giving the Warriors runners at first and second. One out later, Thomas Rudinsky walked to load the bases. Then, Haw scored on a sacrifice fly to right by Josh Rego. Back-to-back walks to Rudinsky and Rego started the top of the fourth inning. Josh Canada, serving as a courtesy runner for Rudinsky, advanced to third on a wild pitch before Rego stole second as Rodriguez struck out. Parker O’Neil singled up the middle to drive in both Rego and Canada. Paul Mezurashi continued the inning by laying down a bunt single, moving O’Neil to second. Ryan Desaegher then singled to left to drive in O’Neil and give the Warriors a 4-0 lead. The Hawks got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the fourth when Aaron Hoch drove a

lead-off home run down the left field line, making the score 4-1. Haw got the Warriors going in the top of the seventh with a leadoff double to left center field. Then, Renck produced a single to short, advancing Haw to third. Ruiz called for the squeeze play and Reid laid down the sacrifice bunt, bringing home Haw to increase Westmont’s lead to 5-1. Things fell apart for the Warriors in the bottom of the eighth as they surrendered eight runs on five hits, two walks and a hit batsman. Ryan Lystlund provided the big blow with a three-RBI home run to left center field, putting the Hawks up 9-5. All eight runs were scored after two outs had been recorded. “It is uncharacteristic of this team, but in the game of baseball, sometimes those things happen,” said Ruiz of the Hawks’ scoring spree. “We really haven’t beaten ourselves this year, but we kind of did in that inning. We talked about it and we moved on. None of us were happy about the way it went down, but you have to be able to get back up and start competing and I thought we did that. We scored in each of the next two innings and kept going.” Westmont took one run back in the top of the eighth inning. Luke Tillitt was walked, then took second on a ground out by O’Neil. One out later, Desaegher hit an RBI-single up the middle to score Tillitt. The Hawks’ Cabral took the run back in the bottom half of the inning with a lead-off home run down the left field line, making the score 10-6. Reid accounted for the game’s final run when he recorded his seventh home run of the season, a solo shot to right-center field. Reliever Gabe Arteaga (3-2) suffered the loss for the Warriors after allowing three runs on one hit and two walks in just twothirds of an inning. Westmont wasted no time turning the tables in the second game, Renck was walked with one away. Then, with Rudinsky at the plate, Renck stole second – his team-leading 17th stolen base on 18 attempts this season. That put him in position to score when Rudinsky singled up the middle to make it a 1-0 ballgame. The inning continued with Rudinsky stealing second with Rego at the plate. Rudinsky then advanced to third on a wild pitch. Rego drove in Rudinsky with another single up the middle. Westmont added another firstinning run with Martinez singled to right, driving in Rego who was running with the pitch. Westmont added four more runs in the second inning on back-toback blasts by roommates Renck and Reid. Jack Fletcher reached on an error and Haw produced and infield hit before Renck’s three-run shot to right. It was Renck’s 11th of the season. Reid followed with a shot to center, his second of the day and eighth of the season. In the third inning, Westmont pressed its advantage to 9-0. With one away, O’Neil and Fletcher received back-to-back walks. A double steal advanced both men one base before Desaegher was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Haw’s ground ball to short retired Desaegher at second while O’Neil scored and Fletcher advanced to third. A throwing error by the second baseman as he attempted

to turn a double play, allowed Fletcher to score as well. With two away in the fourth, David Martinez singled through the right side, followed by O’Neil who singled through the left, advancing Martinez to second. When Fletcher singled to right, Martinez scored to make the score 10-0.

Renck pounded his second home run of the game in the fifth inning with a no-doubter solo shot to right-center field to record Westmont’s 11th run of the game. “We saw a lot of pitchers in that game and found a way to consistently put runs on the board,” noted Ruiz. “The hitters Please see BASEBALL on B4

The No. 18 UC Santa Barbara women’s water polo team showed a lot of resilience in its secondto-last home game Saturday against No. 11 Long Beach State, but the Beach pulled away late to claim a 14-9 victory. The Gauchos (11-10, 1-3) got out to a fast start, making it look easy with goals on each of their first two possessions. Claire Kelly set up Caitlyn Snyder for the first goal on a power play just 26 seconds in and Drew Halvorson took a pass in behind the LBSU for an easy shot to make it 2-0. The Beach (12-12, 1-2) answered with two goals, but Imani Clemons put the Gauchos back ahead 3-2 with 2:56 to go in the first. However, LBSU would take its first lead by scoring the final goal of the first and the opening goal of the second. Sarah Owens and Leigh Lyter both put in second quarter equalizers, with Lyter tying it at 5-5 with 1:20 remaining in the half. Long Beach scored in the final minute to take a 6-5 lead into the break. The visitors carried their momentum into the third, extending to a 4-0 run and taking a 9-5 lead as they looked to blow the game open.

The Gauchos played some inspired water polo the rest of the quarter. Juju Amaral scored first and Halvorson added her second of the day to make it 9-7 with 1:37 left in the third. Amaral found Owens for another goal at the :45 mark to bring the Gauchos within one, causing an uproar of energy from the crowd and the UCSB bench. Unfortunately for the Gauchos, their momentum would be cut short before they could tie the game once more. Long Beach scored five straight to pull away and seal the win. Owens added UCSB’s final goal with 2:12 left in the fourth. That sealed her fourth threegoal performance of the year. Goalkeeper Madison Button finished with seven saves and an assist. Amaral continued to impress, finishing with a team-high three assists to go along with her one goal. Next Saturday, the Gauchos close out their 2022 home schedule against No. 12 UC San Diego in another 12:00 p.m. meeting at Campus Pool.

keep Hawai’i off the scoreboard. Hawai’i got its leadoff runner aboard in eight innings and got on the board first with two runs in the top of the first. Mortensen and Willow singled in the bottom of the second and would come around to tie the game on one swing as Darby doubled over the head of the Hawai’i centerfielder. The Rainbow Warriors quickly regained the lead in the top of the third, going up 3-2, but it would be their last run of the night.

No. 21 UCSB (18-6, 7-1) took its series with Hawai’i on day two of the weekend, topping the Rainbow Warriors 8-3. The Gauchos tied their season-high of 15 hits in the contest and scored in five-straight innings. Mike Gutierrez (4-1) earned the start and tossed six full innings of three-run ball with five strikeouts. Matt Ager came on in relief to earn the three-inning

save, allowing just one hit in the appearance. Zander Darby went 3-for-4 with three RBI and Jason Willow stayed hot, going 2-for-3 with two runs, a double and a walk.

Arizona officials warn of border surge Joe Biden underwater with crucial when COVID asylum limitations end By COLE LAUTERBACH THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – A COVID19 policy that turned away 1.7 million people seeking asylum is being lifted, and Arizona officials on both sides of the aisle are concerned about a sudden increase in immigrants hitting the state’s southern border. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Friday it would terminate Title 42, a rule allowing border agents to turn away asylum-seeking immigrants for fear they could be carrying COVID-19. “After considering current public health conditions and an increased availability of tools to fight COVID-19 (such as highly effective vaccines and therapeutics), the CDC Director has determined that an Order suspending the right to introduce migrants into the United States is no longer necessary,” the department said in a statement. The policy will end May 23. Republicans criticized the move, saying Title 42 is an effective enforcement tool in the ongoing border crisis. “In Arizona, our brave law

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Friday it would terminate Title 42, a rule allowing border agents to turn away asylum-seeking immigrants for fear they could be carrying COVID-19. enforcement professionals are working hard to protect border communities, all Arizonans and migrants,” Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey said. “Yet the worst border crisis in over 20 years continues to receive no attention from the federal government. The Biden administration and Congress have turned a blind eye to our southern border for over a year now, and it’s devastating our communities.” Gov. Ducey and others accused President Joe Biden of not taking the surge in immigrants crossing the country’s southern border seriously. “Sadly, our courageous men and women in local law enforcement who are working tirelessly to protect our border, are doing so with no help whatsoever from President Biden. His incompetence has only exacerbated this crisis,” Senate President Karen Fann, R-

Prescott, said. Sen. Fann predicted immigration into Arizona from Mexico will double after the rule is lifted. Democrats were cautious about the news, warning the Biden administration needs to be adequately prepared for any increase in asylum seekers. “In the two months before this significant policy change goes into effect, the Administration must demonstrate that it has a coordinated, comprehensive strategy to be ready for the near-certain rise in attempted crossings and guarantee a humane, efficient immigration process,” said U.S. Rep. Greg Stanton, D-Arizona. “This will have a significant impact on Arizona, which is why it’s imperative that this plan is developed in consultation with impacted Arizona communities,

law enforcement agencies and nonprofit organizations.” Others were upset that the federal government planned to continue the policy for another two months. “We welcome and we applaud the news that the BidenHarris administration is finally listening to the calls of advocates to terminate Title 42”, said Guerline Jozef, co-founder and executive director of Haitian Bridge Alliance. “This has been a long fight to restore access to protection for some of the most vulnerable people. Haitian Bridge Alliance has been advocating for an end to this Trump-era policy since April 2020 as a response to the increased expulsions of Haitian asylum seekers.” Customs and Border Protection has encountered over 830,000 migrants since Oct. 1, double the number at the same time last year.

University of Arizona students can gain credit by playing video game By TOM JOYCE THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) – University of Arizona and Arizona Online students now have the opportunity to earn credit toward their college degrees by playing video games. They will have a chance to earn credit by interacting with special educational content when playing Age of Empires IV. The University of Arizona Illuminated History Experience will soon be available on the Age of Empires website. It will allow players to participate in outof-game content when playing the single-play campaign; this includes testing their historical knowledge.

It was developed by two Department of History faculty members – associate professor of medieval history Paul Milliman and associate professor of Roman history and department head Alison Futrell – as well as game designers from World’s Edge game studio and Relic Entertainment. Engaging with the continent could allow students to receive one academic credit from the university. “It’s a really innovative way to learn,” Dr. Futrell said in a press release from the school. “We don’t know of any partnerships like this between a university and video game designers anywhere else in the world. We hope that both students on the University of

Arizona main campus and Age of Empires players will be excited about the course and interested in other classes the history department offers.” Initially released in 1997, the Age of Empires franchise allows players to pit historicallyrenowned armies against each other in real-time strategic combat. It alludes to historical figures such as Genghis Khan and Jeanne d’Arc and recreates famous battles. The last iteration of the game was released in 2005. Students who want to take this opportunity must have access to Age of Empires IV on Steam, the Microsoft Store, or subscriptions to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or Xbox Game Pass for PC. The

players have to be signed into the game using an Xbox account. More information will be made available in 2023.

constituency in Arizona, per polling By TOM JOYCE

THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) – President Joe Biden won Arizona in the 2020 presidential election, with one category of voter putting him over the top. After being in office for more than 14 months, Mr. Biden’s approval in the state has slipped. He has a 40% approval rating, while 55% disapprove of him, according to an Arizona Public Opinion Pulse poll conducted by OH Predictive Insights (OHPI). President Biden’s approval rating among independents, however, was even worse; just 34% of them approved of the job he is doing, while 59% disapproved. Of those, independents strongly disapprove of the most popular category; 41% strongly disapprove of the job Mr. Biden is doing in office. This low approval rating among independent voters comes in a year with a midterm election. U.S. Sen.

Nineteen candidates are running in the Republican primary on May 17 for governor of Oregon By JUAN GARCIA DE PAREDES BALLOTPEDIA VIA THE CENTER SQUARE

Nineteen candidates are running in the Republican primary for governor of Oregon on May 17, 2022. Incumbent Kate Brown (D) is term-limited and cannot run for re-election. Christine Drazan, Bud Pierce, and Stan Pulliam have led in fundraising and media coverage. All three candidates have highlighted education and public safety as critical issues for their campaigns. On education, Mr. Pierce said he would set up a non-political oversight board to look after education in the state, and Ms. Drazan said she would make the superintendent of public instruction a statewide position that she argues would be accountable to voters. Mr. Pulliam said the state should empower parents and local boards. On public safety, Ms. Drazan said she would increase funding for state troopers, while Mr. Pulliam said he would triple the size of the Oregon State Police and temporarily deploy them in Portland. Mr. Pierce said he would work with federal, state, and local authorities to better public safety. Ms. Drazan and Mr. Pierce have said there is a homelessness crisis in the state. To tackle it, Ms. Drazan said that she would address addiction, mental health, and affordability, which she said are the root causes of homelessness. Mr. Pierce said he would address those same issues by building more affordable housing and public shelters with services to tackle addiction and mental health. On the campaign trail, Mr. Pulliam has also focused on economic growth, saying, “we’ve got to stand up for our local small business owners and ignite the economic sector in this state.” Mr. Pierce is an oncologist who ran as the Republican nominee in the 2016 special election to finish the term of former Gov. John Kitzhaber (D). Gov. Brown, who replaced Kitzhaber after he

Christine Drazan, Bud Pierce, and Stan Pulliam have led in fundraising and media coverage. All three candidates have highlighted education and public safety as critical issues for their campaigns. resigned in February 2015, defeated Mr. Pierce and three other candidates in that election. Ms. Drazan represented District 39 in the Oregon House of Representatives from 2019 until she resigned on Jan. 31, 2022. She was elected House Minority Leader in September 2019 and served in that position until Nov. 30, 2021, when she stepped down. Mr. Pulliam is an insurance executive who has served as the mayor of Sandy, Oregon, since 2019. Oregon’s last five governors have been Democrats, and as of March 2022, three independent election forecasters considered the general election as Likely or Lean Democratic. The last Republican to win the governorship in Oregon was Victor Atiyeh, who served from 1979 to 1987. Also running in the primary are Raymond Baldwin, Bridget Barton, Court Boice, David Burch, Reed Christensen, Jessica Gomez, Nick Hess, Tim McCloud, Kerry McQuisten, Brandon Merritt, John Presco, Amber Richardson, Bill Sizemore, Stefan Strek, Marc Thielman, Bob Tiernan.

stationed in large white tents, in high traffic areas of Solvang’s Northern European architecture and ambience as a backdrop to the competitors recreating their best version of a storybook bakery. “I think a lot of locals came to see a lot of the creations and were

very excited and are even asking about next year,” said Ms. Conway. The Danish Mill Bakery bought the winning build by Chris Wight, and is installing it in the bakery’s window. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

Shining some light on lamps as art

P.’s little table lamp, at about 24 inches tall, is a strange looking combination for us to see today – it is a lamp and a bowl, and light inside– it is a sculpture (a bowl of fruit) and a lamp; Why? Because it is a “period piece,” speaking of its time, and that time was confused about what a lamp actually could be. The shade is a piece of hand blown glass, molded to resemble fruit, and then overpainted. Lamps that were “kind of” lamps and “sort of” sculptures were popular in the late 1920s and through the 1930s when the U.S. was deciding what a lamp was for. Electricity in the house was new and the tradition of lighting a home was originally from the walls or the ceiling. Table lamps therefore often had a theme, something dramatic-thematic, to make a person look at that lamp. As to these fanciful fruit bowl lamps, they were more popular than you can imagine. That is because the tradition of a bowl of fruit often signified a house that had ‘extra’ – think of the cornucopia, where abundance was indicated. Czech glass blowers made two kinds of fruit bowl lamps for the U.S. market- one, like J.P.’s, where you see the shade is one piece of blown glass set across an armature of a “bowl,” and the other, much more intricate, and more valuable

in the market today, of tiny beads of glass dangling upon a mesh of wire to create a shade, over a wire mesh and glass marbles accentuated “bowl.” In today’s taste, we do not like a representative image. But in the 1930s, glamour and tradition were intermixed, and people loved to bring something unique and “referential” of both tradition and glamour into the house for a decorative accent. This is completely not commensurate with Mid-Century Modern, but fits into the Hollywood Regency Style. Think of the movies in the 1930s, where a slinky blonde in a slinky gown rests upon a satin bed in a bedroom of flowers. This is where the fruit bowl lamp originates, stylistically and philosophically speaking. The area once called Bohemia, now part of the Czech Republic, was a glass making center since the 1250s. Between the two world wars, the U.S. discovered Czech glass, and brands like Moser Glass were exported. Nobility in Europe had always loved Bohemian glass, only second to jewels as, in those days, glass collections were arbiters of prestige, and Louis XV, Elizabeth of Russia, and Maria Theresa of Austria each had numerous Bohemian glass chandeliers made for their palaces. If you have visited Milan’s La Scala, Rome’s Teatro del Opera, Versailles, or St Petersburg’s

This fruit bowl lamp is valued at $500.

Hermitage Museum, you have stood under a Bohemian glass chandelier. J.P.’s little lamp was born from the plentiful minerals found in Bohemia and Silesia; namely, potash, chalk, limestone, and silica. Schools to train glass artists still exist today and were a tradition in Bohemia: during Communist domination of the area, they were allowed to flourish, because there was not much of the political you can say as a glass artist. In the mid-19th century teachers and schools of glassmaking in Bohemia exported teachers and workers all over Europe. Czech crystal is different from U.S. crystal in that Czech crystal contains 24% lead, and the U.S. crystal can contain less than 2% lead. Lead softens the glass and creates a fine surface for cutting; lead adds to the weight

of the glass and therefore light disperses through the crystal “brighter.” From the 18th and early 19th centuries, when a room was lit by candles, the crystal light fixture dispersed more light and refracted more off the pendant drops of the scones or the chandelier. These drops were not just pretty; they dispersed and “threw” light across a room as big as a ballroom. J.P.’s fruit bowl, as I mentioned, is also an allegory on the theme of abundance; the fruit bowl, usually seen with real fruit on the sideboard or as a centerpiece on the table, is designed as a lamp to replace that fruit bowl. Museums in the Czech Republic today collect and maintain collections of Bohemian glass, even such modern designs by Prof. Libensky, a Bohemian glass midcentury legend, who designed an entire glass environment in the 1960s for the Czech Embassy in Stockholm, including melted glass sculpture for the walls and a glass light wall. He also designed a set of barware that is famous today and sold only at the Prague Museum of Glass. The value of the fruit bowl lamp is $500.

The rest of the teams, 2023 juniors (third place), athletics, clubs and classes, will receive a doughnut party. “I had so much fun competing against other students and teachers,’’ said Valentin Tello, a sophomore and member of

the Class of 2024 Team. “It was very fun doing the bubble wrap, and when I stood up, I was in a daze and could barely keep my balance.’’ Ryan Rothford, the Panther P.E. teacher, agreed, adding, “I thought the Panther Olympics were run very well. I enjoyed the different events and obstacles that were created. It was nice to

see so many students and staff supporting all the teams that competed. “It was really cool that we were able to finish first. I was just happy to be part of such a great event. Thanks to all the students and staff that helped put the Panther Games together.’’ — Marilyn McMahon

Diversions HOROSCOPE s PUZZLES

SUDOKU

Thought for Today

Aries: Feeling grumpy lately, Aries? Don’t fret, because your bad mood won’t last. This attitude is unlike you. Co-workers notice your change in personality but still treat you with consideration and respect. You’re fortunate to be able to draw upon a considerable wealth of kindness and good karma that you have built up over the years. Taurus: How hard you have to work to achieve your purposes, Taurus! It’s as though you carry around an overstuffed sandbag and each step requires a huge effort! This would be a good day to identify the source of the trouble. Ask if you aren’t sabotaging yourself and letting your subconscious resist the goals you have so deliberately set. Gemini: You could have an urge to invent new things, Gemini. You feel compelled to create something in the artistic, technical, or philosophical field. If only you’d give yourself enough time to pursue these ideas! Today, realize that concentration is the key to accomplishment. Cancer: Generally, you come up with the perfect, witty answer one day too late. Impulse and intuition take a back seat to your excellent self-control. The day ahead presents one opportunity to let go of the inhibition that sometimes stymies you. Yield to your instincts a little and see what happens. Leo: You think of yourself as fairly modern in your thinking, don’t you, Leo? But have you really been able to reject tradition entirely? Have you rid yourself of all the outmoded conventions that confined earlier generations? If not, today you’ll be inspired to revamp your role models and lighten your workload. Virgo: There is some likelihood of a slight career conflict, Virgo. You might have to deal with a co-worker who steps on your toes or runs roughshod over your gentle nature. Defend yourself with your favorite weapons - silence, laughter, and perspective. Let your adversary tangle himself or herself in desperate attempts to justify their behavior.

Libra: For a few weeks now you’ve understood that each day brings its share of constraints, Libra. For example, today you could feel doubts about your physical appearance. Are you questioning your attractiveness or your ability to make an impression on someone special? Scorpio: This is a day to think about your private life, Scorpio. Expect to be particularly sensitive to all kinds of demands from those close to you. You have the power to create greater harmony at home, specifically in your relationship. Take stock of everyone’s desires and consider any limitations in fulfilling them. Sagittarius: Today can be a relaxing day, provided you make the necessary effort to deal with material constraints, Sagittarius. You would like nothing better than to spend much of the day planning fun activities for the future. But, alas, demands from your family, friends, or boss force you to concentrate on the here and now instead. Capricorn: There is a lot on your mind today, Capricorn. Over the last three weeks you’ve analyzed your relationships on a deep and profound level. New people with attractive qualities could be tempting you to make a change. But is this a good time in your life to start up friendships or love relationships? Are you willing to accept the upheaval such changes would create? These are worthwhile questions to ask. Aquarius: After a few days that were a bit serious, Aquarius, today you awake with a light heart and boundless energy! Your capacity for seduction will be at its peak, so why not use it to your advantage? The men and women at work, in particular, will yield to your wishes today. Your influence extends to all levels of the organization. Pisces: If you have children, Pisces, you could be feeling a bit overworked and overwhelmed. If you don’t have children, perhaps the constraints and demands of your professional life are weighing heavily on your mind. Don’t worry - these feelings shall pass. Expect an opportunity to get free of the ties that bind.

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.

UCSB softball splits Saturday doubleheader at Cal Poly By BRITT CALVILLO UCSB SPORTS WRITER

The UCSB softball team split its first day of the three-game series with Blue-Green rival Cal Poly. The Gauchos took the first game of the day, before falling to the Mustangs 6-7. In game 1, Lexy Mills picked up her first win of the season tossing seven full innings while striking out four. Only one Mustang run was scored under her watch. Mills also notched her first home run as a Gaucho. UCSB scored six runs on ten hits, two of which went for extra bases. Ashley Donaldson had a multihit game (3), including an RBI double as Maci Fines tallied her 16th run of 2022. Teah Thies picked up her 16th RBI today while Tyler Goldstein collected her 11th of the season. The scoring got started in the top of the second when Mills notched a solo home run to lead off the inning. Ashley Donaldson and Korie Thomas got on base after hitting singles to the outfield. Donaldson was brought

home after the Mustangs decided to get the easy out at first as Tyler Goldstein grounded the ball to third base. A fielding error by Cal Poly’s center fielder made it so that Thomas could make it home, moving the score to 3-0. In the top of the third, Madelyn McNally led off with a single through the right side. However, the umpire called her out as she stole second and Fines reached first on a fielder’s choice. Two outs were on the board when Donaldson stepped up to the plate; she drilled a double to right center to bring Fines across the plate. With Donaldson now in scoring position, Thies hit an RBI single to center field. Goldstein and Thomas then had back-toback single hits - which allowed Thies to score and give the Gauchos a 6-0 lead. A routine, but very effective play, came in the bottom of the fourth as the bases were loaded and Cal Poly’s Hailey Prahm came to bat. Prahm knocked the ball to third base but Korie Thomas was there in time to throw it right back to catcher Teah Thies to get the lead runner out at home, keeping

the Mustangs scoreless. The sole scoring effort of the game for Cal Poly came in the bottom of the fifth where the Mustangs collected a run off of a deep double to left center. In game 2, Camryn Snyder was the pitcher to receive the loss, moving her overall record to 7-10. After pitching 3.1 innings, Snyder struck out a single Mustang, and allowed four runs on five hits while walking two.The remaining effort was divided in the circle by fellow pitchers, llona Sullivan, Lexy Mills, and Alyssa Molina. Madelyn McNally, Ally Nodohara, and Lexy Mills each registered a multi-hit game, but it was Mills who hit an RBI single in the top of the first and another in the top of the second, both bringing Madelyn McNally across the plate. Ashley Donaldson and Korie Thomas had back-to-back hits, which allowed Fines and Mills to score, respectively, helping the Gauchos take a 4-0 lead in the top of the second. Maci Fines, Donaldson, Thomas, and Thies each notched a hit, contributing to the overall 11-

hit effort by Santa Barbara. The Gauchos were the first to open scoring - racking up four hits in the top of the first and another two in the second which left the Mustangs behind by six entering the third. Snyder and the Gaucho defense held the Mustangs scoreless for the first two innings, but Cal Poly registered a run in both the third and fourth, bringing the score to 6-2. Late runs found by the Mustangs edged out Santa Barbara, as Cal Poly put up five runs on four hits - including a solo home run from the Mustang’s catcher Kai Barrett. Although the Gaucho defense held strong, the Mustangs were able to clinch the win in the bottom of the fifth with an overall score of 7-6 in favor of Cal Poly. The Gauchos will play their final game of the series against Cal Poly tomorrow at 1:00pm at Bob Janssen Field. Britt Calvillo writes about sports for UCSB. email: sports@newspress.com

The No. 53 UC Santa Barbara men’s tennis team beat UC San Diego 7-0 Saturday afternoon at the Arnhold Tennis Center. The Gauchos’ (12-5, 1-1) shutout earned them their first Big West win of the season and was their sixth win in their last seven matches. Santa Barbara took the doubles point with wins on courts one and two as head coach Blake Muller experimented with new doubles pairings. Phillip Jordan and Victor Krustev

beat Zach Ermert and Eric Silberman 6-2 on court one, and Kai Brady and Pablo Masjuan took down Daniel Traxler and William Lan 6-3 on court two to clinch the doubles point. UCSB won all six singles matchups. First to wrap up his win was Gianluca Brunkow, who beat Sanjith Devineni 6-1, 6-1 on court two, and Jordan prevailed 6-2, 6-1 over Traxler on court one, making it 3-0 in favor of Santa Barbara. On court three, Krustev earned the Gauchos’ match-clinching fourth point with a 6-4, 6-0 defeat of Ermert. UCSB continued to pile it on after the

clinching point, as Masjuan beat Phillip Lan 6-3, 6-2 on court two and Brady got the best of Pelayo Rodriguez on court four, winning 7-5, 7-5. Alejandro Vedri wrapped things up, earning Santa Barbara’s seventh and final point with his 7-5, 6-4 win over Jett Cole on court five. The Gauchos host UC Davis in their penultimate home match on Friday at 1:30 p.m. Daniel Messinger writes about sports for UCSB. email: sports@newspress.com

Kiss made it 2-1 Gauchos, besting Masuda 6-2, 6-0 on court three and and Filippa BruuSyversen put Santa Barbara on the verge of clinching the match with a 6-4, 6-1 victory over Peppi

Ramstedt on court three. No. 105 Khatamova finished off the match, earning the Gauchos’ fourth point, prevailing 7-5, 6-1 over Homolkova in the top singles matchup.

No-hit bid falls apart in sixth inning BASEBALL

Continued from Page A2

did a nice job of moving on from the first game and keeping the pressure on throughout those seven innings.” Stoner’s bid for a no-hitter came to an end in the top of the sixth when Johnny Radomskiy poked a solo home run over the fence in leftcenter field. He would allow two more hits, but

no more runs in his first complete game of the year. The right-hander improved to 5-0 on the year. Stoner struck out 10 and walked two in seven innings of work. “It was probably as good as I have seen him this year,” assessed Ruiz. “He was consistent, he was executing pitches and I really liked his demeanor. He led well from the mound and it was a really good performance by him today.” Next week, Westmont will take a break from conference play and compete in just one non-

conference contest. On Tuesday, the Warriors will travel to Compton to take on Marymount California (11-18) at the MLB Academy. The Warriors and Mariners have already played five previous times this year with Westmont winning all five games.
