By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE (The Center Square) – With California’s legislative session set to end Aug. 31, lawmakers this week resurrected a last-minute proposal to reform the state’s bail system.Theproposal, contained in Senate Bill 262, would prohibit the “costs relating to the conditions of release on bail from being imposed on persons released on bail or their own recognizance,” according to the bill text. The bill would also require a court to return money paid to a bail bond licensee on behalf of the arrestee if the case is dismissed or no charges against the arrestee are filed within 60 days. The measure allows a bail bond licensee to retain a surcharge of 10%, meaning an arrestee could get back 90% of their money if a case is dismissed and charges aren’t filed within the deadline. In April 2020, the California Judicial Council established a policy to set bail at zero for most misdemeanor and low-level felonies to keep the jail population low during the pandemic, as reported by ABC7. The council voted to end that policy in June 2020.Sen. Robert Hertzberg, DVan Nuys, the author of SB 262, had previously introduced the measure in January 2021 to require an affordable bail for many offenses. Sen. Hertzberg ultimately decided to shelve the measure after the murder of 61-year-old Kate Tibbitts in Sacramento last September. Ms. Tibbitts was raped and murdered in her Sacramento home. The accused killer, Troy Davis, had a past criminal history and was released on zero bail for a June 2021 car theft, according to KCRA. Mr. Davis also accused of killing Ms. Tibbitts’ dogs and setting her home on fire. A previous version of SB 262 would have required a court to “first consider whether nonfinancial conditions will reasonably protect the public and the victim and reasonably assure the arrestee’s presence at trial” before setting a bail amount. If a court ultimately decided that bail was necessary under these conditions, courts would be required to inquire about the arrestee’s ability to pay the bail without “substantial hardship,” thus requiring courts to set an affordable bail. The current amended version of the bill appears to have struck the provisions requiring affordable bail. A spokesperson for Sen. Hertzberg’s office, however, could not confirm whether or not the affordable bail provision still applies to the amended bill. Sen. Hertzberg’s office did not respond to comment requests from The Center Square within deadline about the reintroduction of the legislation.Thereintroduction of the measure garnered pushback from Republican lawmakers in the Senate earlier this week. Senate Republican Leader Scott Wilk, RSanta Clarita, cited data from the Yolo County District Attorney that

“That’s amazing,” Ms. Rodriguez said. “That’s really something else.” Sunday featured a 500 meter swim, 6 mile bike race and 2-mile run.She said Sunday started out with heavy duty fog, “but that didn’t dampen anybody’s spirit.”

By RICHIE MALOUF THE CENTER SQUARE (The Center Square) – A California mandate requiring churches to pay for elective abortions has been ruled unconstitutional by a federal district court. The mandate came from the California Department of Managed Health Care, a regulatory body governing managed health care plans, and forced churches to include elective abortions within their health insurance plans. The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California, however, ruled that the mandate was unconstitutional, saying there was no presence of a substantial burden. “In sum, the Director has not shown ‘[she] lacks other means of achieving [her] desired goal without imposing a substantial burden on the exercise of religion by [plaintiffs],’” the court said. “The Director’s denial of the Churches’ request for exceptions to accommodate their religious beliefs, based solely on the fact that those requests did not originate with a plan, was not narrowly
The ruling comes four months after Alliance Defending Freedom, representing Foothill Church in Glendora and two other churches, filed a motion asking the court to allow churches to operate in accordance with their religious beliefs without the state mandating that they take part in actions that contradict those“Thebeliefs.government can’t force a church or any other religious employer to violate their faith and conscience by participating in funding abortion,” said ADF Senior Counsel Jeremiah Galus. “For years, California has unconstitutionally targeted faith-based organizations, so we’re pleased the court has found this mandate unconstitutional and will allow the churches we represent to operate freely according to their religious beliefs.”Theruling comes two months after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, which the DMHC said contrasted with their belief that every individual has the right to affordable and accessible abortion. “The Supreme Court’s decision counters our vision of a Healthy California for All, where health care is affordable, accessible, equitable and high-quality so it drives toward improved health outcomes,” DMHC said. “We remain committed to upholding and expanding protections that ensure the health and wellbeing of anyone seeking critical reproductive services. And we will protect reproductive health care rights by making sure health plans follow theADFlaw.”attorneys say they obtained emails from Planned Parenthood addressed to the DMHC where Planned Parenthood complained of health plans lacking abortion coverage.“Thank you again for meeting with us and the ACLU last Thursday about the ongoing issue of DMHC approval of employee plans that exclude abortion coverage,” Brianna K. Pittman, a legislative advocate for Planned Parenthood, said in the obtained email. “As we mentioned in the meeting, this is of significant concern to Planned Parenthood and many of the reproductive rights groups that we work closely with.”
By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE (The Center Square) –Oversight Republicans have launched an investigation into how the U.S. Department of Education has handled billions of COVID-19 relief dollars, raising the alarm about the major learning loss experienced byRepublicansstudents. on the House Oversight Committee sent a letter to Department of Education Secretary Miguel Cardona demanding documents and answers as to why most of the money has reportedly remained unspent.Theyalso are requesting documents on whether teachers unions, which often pushed for a delay in reopening schools, had undue influence over federal guidance on school reopenings and thus worsened learning loss.“We, and the American people, are due an explanation on how and whether the Department is addressing the negative effects of prolonged school closures on children enrolled in K-12 programs across the country in light of the appropriation by Congress of a total of $263 billion for the Education Stabilization Fund (ESF) over the course of three pieces of legislation,” the letter said. “According to media reports, the vast majority of these ‘emergency’ funds remain unspent. Study after study shows the learning losses caused by prolonged pandemic school closures are compounding and preventing students from achieving academic success. “Committee Republicans plan to ensure the department is doing everything in its power to ensure states and school districts properly target funds to remedy the acute learning losses brought on by prolonged pandemic school closures,” the letter added. Lawmakers also point out that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control worked with teachers unions on when to reopen schools. They formally requested all communications with teachers unions to find out the extent of their influence over the CDC’s decision Administration,“Undermaking.theBidenthe CDC went so far as to allow the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), a union that represents adults and not children, to modify the guidance to ensure schools did not fully reopen,” the letter said. Studies show those closures had lasting negative impacts on students.“Prolonged school closures and forced remote learning were abject policy failures,” the letter said. “Across the board, we have witnessed sharp declines in reading and math scores from 2019 to 2021, though smaller declines in pass rates for students with access to more inperson instruction. Students whose classes were less disrupted in the 2020-21 school year lost only about 20 percent of math learning compared to losses of 50 percent for students who did not have access to in-person instruction.”Republican lawmakers on the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis released a report in March detailing the “unprecedented access” given to teachers unions in writing COVID19 guidance for schools. Teachers unions largely pushed for delaying reopening schools. The news was particularly controversial since unions gave millions of dollars to Democratic candidates in 2020. “Teachers’ unions, including AFT, donated more than $43 million to liberal groups and candidates during the 2020 election cycle,” the report said. “The two largest unions – which both endorsed thencandidate Biden for President – have approximately 4.7 million members. [CDC scientist] Dr. [Henry] Walke’s testimony to the Select Subcommittee shows the Biden Administration rewarded their support with unprecedented access to the policymaking process for guidance on reopeningAmericanschools.”Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten has defended her cooperation with the CDC, arguing that she was obligated to advocate on behalf of teachers’ interests.

GAME ONE – UNC 3, UCSB 0 Briana McKnight led the Gauchos with seven kills on a .300 hitting percentage to go with four digs. The Gauchos out-blocked the Tarheels six to the three Michelle Ohwobete led all players with eight digs and added four kills and an ace. Megan Shimoda dished out a team-high 20 assists and scooped up a pair of digs. The Gauchos fell to 0-2 and suffered their first sweep of the season falling in three sets 25-19, 25-19, 25-17 to North Carolina. The first set was a back-andforth affair seeing nine ties and a pair of lead changes as the two teams traded sideouts until they found themselves knotted at 1111. From there the Gauchos took control using a 3-0 lead to get the advantage, but UNC found its footing catching up at 18-18 and finishing the set on an 11-2 run to take the opening frame.

UCSB SPORTS WRITER
GAME TWO – CSU 3, UCSB 1 Tasia Farmer had a great match sending down 12 kills on a .346 hitting percentage to go along with five blocks and three digs. She only committed one attack error through the first three sets but had a pair late in the fourth to end the match with a 12-3-26 line. UCSB saw its best team hitting percentage of the weekend recording a .291 clip and sent down 11 blocks to North Carolina’s six. The Gauchos also saw their most aces of the weekend with seven giving them 17 on the weekend. Ohwobete and Tallulah Froley joined Farmer in double-digits with 10 kills apiece. Froley added four blocks and Ohwobete saw 11 digs to get her first double-double of the season. The junior outside hitter was also solid on serve reception going errorless on 28 attempts. McKnight was also dynamite on receptions converting 33 with no errors and added three kills and eightUCSBdigs.showed a lot of fight in the final match of the weekend but in the end fell in four sets to the host Rams 25-18, 27-25, 18-25, 25-21. The opening was a closer affair than the score indicates, as it saw 12 ties and six lead changes with both teams hanging around in the early points. It wasn’t until the two were tied at 13-13 that the host Rams found their first run of the contest going on an 8-1 streak that put them well ahead. They would swing their best clip of the night at .478 and converted on sideout attempts with a 72% success rate. Farmer got her swing going posting a 4-0-5 line for a .800 hitting percentage. The second frame had even more back-and-forth scoring seeing a match-high 18 ties and six lead changes. Neither team took more than a two point lead until the Gauchs found themselves down late at 19-15. From there, a pair of kills from Ohwobete and Farmer and back-to-back aces by McKnight put the Gauchos right back in the running with some help from a challenge won by Head Coach Nicole Lantagne Welch that squared it at 20-20. UCSB held two set points but late miscues granted Colorado State a 3-0 run and the extra points win at 27-25.
UCSB found itself down early in the second set but used a 5-1 run capped off by an Ohwobete ace to tie things up at 14 apiece. Unfortunately, the Tarheels once again went on a late run utilizing its match-high .345 hitting percentage to close out the set on a 10-5 run. Four early service errors hurt the Gauchos in the tight race. The third and final set was all Tarheels as the Gauchos failed to hold the lead, despite tying it up on four occasions. UNC did a solid job of holding serve, only allowing UCSB to convert on half of its 24 sideout attempts.
The UCSB women’s volleyball team fell to 0-3 to start the 2021 season, dropping a three-set match to North Carolina (1-1) and a fourset match to host Colorado State (2-1) in a Saturday doubleheader. It was a tough Northern Colorado/ Colorado State Tournament for the Gauchos, who saw a trio of teams that are regulars in the NCAA Tournament.
In the second set, Westmont returned the favor, pulling away in the middle of the set with a 1712 lead. While Corban chipped away at the lead, they never again passed Westmont, as the GSAC club took the second set 25-21. The two sides continued to trade blows in the third set, with the clubs staying within a handful of points of one-another until the end of the match. Westmont was within striking distance at 18-15, before Corban went on a 5-0 run to take control in what turned out to be a 25-16 win. Down 2-1, the Warriors were able to once again display the heart and soul that carried them in game one. Westmont came out with a vengeance, leading 15-6 at one point, before claiming the set 25-18 to force a decisive fifth set. In the end, however, Corban jumped out to an early lead before Westmont could muster a run of their own. Corban led 8-1 to open the set, and ultimately won the match with a 15-6 win in the final set.“Just like earlier in the day, we showed a lot of heart and soul,” said McGolpin. “Despite the score, the fifth set was a dog fight. There were moments of brilliance all day. Taylor Distelberg for instance was amazing. She came into her ownMinchtoday.”led the club with 13 kills in the match, and also led the team with 26 digs. Alexa Shiner and Keelyn Kistner each had 21 assists.“Our players understand you have to have a growth mindset,” shared McGolpin, “and they’re nowhere near satisfied. They realize the season is young, and we have to continue to get better in every “Today,way.we played with fire, and that was cool to see.” The Warriors return to action next weekend in Omaha, Nebraska where they’ll compete in another two-day tournament. On Friday, September 2, Westmont will play Doane (Neb.) and William Woods (Mo.), before playing Grand View (Iowa) and Bellevue (Neb.) on Saturday.
“Lexi Malone’s blocking was game-changing, especially in set five,” said McGolpin. “Kai Hashimoto was amazing as well, and Phoebe caught fire when we needed her to.” In the second half of the doubleheader, the Warriors went toe-to-toe with Corban, a team ranked #7 in the NAIA Preseason Poll. While Corban proved to be too much in the end, the Warriors showed much of the same fight from the beginning of the day. In the first set, Westmont stayed tight with Corban until the middle of the game, when a Corban run put the Oregon club up 15-10. Westmont never got back within striking distance and Corban ultimately claimed the opener 2520.

In the second countable game of the season, #8 Westmont Women’s Soccer (2-0) posted a 1-0 win over California Lutheran on Saturday night in Thousand Oaks.The lone goal of the game came in just the ninth minute of play when sophomore defender Ande Siegel drove in a free kick from 25 yards out on the left side. The Regal’s keeper got her hands on the ball, but was unable to prevent it from penetrating the goal line. The goal was the first of Siegel’s collegiate career.
The third set was all Gauchos as the visitors swung a potent .517 clip with and converted on 17 of its 19 sideout opportunities while holding the Rams to a .235 hitting percentage. UCSB led by as many as seven on multiple occasions and took over early in the set with a barrage of different runs. After committing seven service errors in the first two frames, the Gauchos only suffered one in their third-set victory. Both teams struggled on the offensive end in the fourth and final set but the Gauchos made up for it on the defensive end, sending down a match-high seven blocks. Farmer and Nia Correal were the main culprits with three apiece. After trailing early, UCSB refused to quit storming back to make it a one-point match at 20-19 but a pair of attacking errors and a setting miscue cost the team late as Colorado State closed it out with a 5-2 run. The Gauchos now return home to California and will look to another tough tournament down in Malibu next week, the Pepperdine Asics Classic. UCSB will face the host Waves (2-1), who received votes in the preseason AVCA poll, Friday night. Then it’s a Saturday doubleheader with No. 16 Baylor (2-1) and San Diego State (2-1).

By JACOB NORLING WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER Westmont Volleyball (2-2) capped off their season-opening weekend on Saturday when they took part in their second doubleheader in as many days. First, the Warriors pulled off a reverse-sweep against Saint Katherine (2-6), before falling in five sets against Corban (Ore.) (7-1). “I think we really grew as a team today,” said Westmont head coach Ruth McGolpin. “Our team could see their own potential today. The mental aptitude of this team is a lot stronger than it was at times in the past. They showed fire and grit, and proved that they have that fight in them today.” In the first match of the day, the Warriors showed up late to the party. In the first set against the Saint Katherine Firebirds the Warriors committed nine attacking errors and never truly threatened, dropping the opener 25-15.Inthe second set, Westmont kept better pace with the Firebirds, but ran out of steam late as Saint Katherine won it 25-20 to take a commanding 20 set lead. However, while the scoreboard shows the Warriors were down and out, the vibe on the bench remained optimistic. “A prior conversation led by myself and Lexi Malone really set the tone for the day,” said McGolpin. “Earlier in the day, I sent the girls a text referencing Joshua 22:5, which talks about heart and soul. That really stuck with us today. “I got fired up, Lexi pitched in, and Laura Galloway, with her calm demeanor, added in as well. With that in our minds, and with the changes we made defensively, we knew we weren’t out of that match.”Early on in the third set the Firebirds led 5-2 and flirted with the chance to sweep the Warriors. However, Westmont refused to bow out early, eventually tying the set 9-9. From there, the Warriors went on a 6-2 run to claim their largest lead of the match to that point.Eventually, Lexi Malone’s third kill of the set gave the Warriors a 25-17 win to stave off defeat, and get themselves back in the contest. In the fourth set, the two sides traded blows to an 11-11 tie. Then, the Warriors rattled off five consecutive points, beginning a 10-2 run that took control of the set, and debatably the entire match. Taylor Distelberg recorded a kill to finish off the fourth set 2519, and from there, the Warriors never looked back. The Warriors opened the fifth and final set on a 7-2 run and led 12-5 by the time Saint Katherine called timeout to try and stop the bleeding. Out of the timeout, the Warriors completed the reverse sweep with Malone’s game-high 15th kill to win the set 15-6, and the match 3-2. “Our defensive effort was the key,” said McGolpin. “We served lights out and our passing got better as the match went on. We definitely showed some heart and soul in games three, four, and five.”Malone not only led the Warriors with 15 kills in the match, but also led the club with seven blocks, including three in the final set. Minch also added in 14 kills of her own, while Kaili Hashimoto led the Warriors with 23 digs and 13 assists.

That is something we have emphasized this week and I thought they did a really good job. “Grace Duckens really stepped it up. I thought for sure she was going to have a goal. It’s coming! I am excited that she is getting her confidence up. Believe it or not, she ran and passed the ‘Warrior (fitness) test’ today and then put on that performance after doing an incredibly hard interval workout. I am super proud of where she is at right now. It was phenomenal for her to play the minutes she just did with the skill that she just did. “I thought Reese Davidson played well today, setting people up. She sent some beautiful flick-on balls and showed a little more creativity that was less predictable.”OftheWarriors 18 shots, 12 of which were on goal, five came off the foot of (senior) Karly Kingsley including four on goal. “Karly was phenomenal on the outside of the diamond,” assessed Jaggard. “She covered more ground than I’ve seen a player cover in a while. She was everywhere. Between her and (freshman) Amelia Villa, it is really exciting that we are getting the edge of our diamond up and they are becoming forwards.“Bling(Grace Hotaling) had a fantastic game today. She sat at both the attacking-mid and at the defensive-mid positions. I thought that she was looking amazing in both of those roles and helping us keep it settled and keep the ball. It was very unfortunate that she was injured tonight.”Kailey Meyer recorded her second shutout of the season. She recorded five saves in the process, including two in the final 10 minutes to preserve the victory.“There was so much good tonight,” expressed Jaggard. “It is exciting. We are still in the beginning phase where we have some kinks to work out. We need to learn how to manage a 1-0 game at the end and we definitely had some scary moments. Overall, however, I am very happy because there were some key things that happened tonight that we as coaches had been harping on. The improvement is very visible. I am pleased with the work ethic and the ‘coachability’ of this team.” Westmont’s season continues next Thursday when they host Lincoln, an NCAA Division II team out of Oakland.

Three team prizes are also awarded to the largest team, the team that generates the most money and the “First Place Team,” which raises the most money on average per person. In addition to recognizing teams and participants for their outstanding fundraising efforts, one individual will be awarded the Julie Main Inspiration of Hope Award. Since the event’s inception, Ms. Main was inspirational in helping to organize the Walk/Run, seeking sponsors and leading the 6-Week Training Program. This year marks the 13th year of the event since her death, but her legacy will be honored with recognition of a cancer survivor who exemplifies what Ms. Main stood for — courage, perseverance and hope — serving as an inspiration to others by finding the strength to cope with cancer throughPreviousexercise.recipients of the award include Michael Orchowski, Lorena Ortiz-Schneider, Kate Ocean, Reggie Hepp, Rosalyn Collins, Mara Hochman, Sue Suttner, Patricia MacFarlane, Jack Bianchi, Dan Manfredonia, Patricia Mojarro and Isabelle Patton.Thisyear in order to recognize 30th annual Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara Walk/Run benefits Ridley-Tree center

The Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara will host the 30th annual Cancer Center Walk/Run as a virtual event from Oct. 1 through 16.
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.
participants who have been participating from the start and those who are just joining the Walk/Run for the first time, a special drawing will be held based on the number of years they have participated in the event. Winners will be announced on social media at the conclusion of the event. All funds raised will benefit the Clinical Research Program and the Supportive Care Programs at Ridley-Tree Cancer Center. Through the Research Program, new cancer treatments are made available through clinical trials across a variety of cancer diagnoses. Everyone of today’s standard cancer therapies went through clinical trials before becoming generally available. While patients may choose to enter a trial to improve their own conditions, they also help map the future of cancer care for others. Through support from this event, the Ridley-Tree Cancer Center can offer local residents access to a global network of clinical trials, a benefit not afforded by all cancer treatment facilities.TheWalk/Run also benefits the Supportive Care Programs, which include genetic counseling, patient navigation, wellness classes and social work services. These programs allow the RidleyTree Cancer Center to provide patients with comprehensive and personalized resources and care to assist them on their journey withThecancer.Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara and the RidleyTree Cancer Center work in partnership to deliver superior cancer care to everyone in Santa Barbara County regardless of means.Together, they aim to keep the Central Coast at the forefront of modern cancer care through the recruitment, development and education of highly trained medical staff; timely acquisition of new medical equipment; active participation in clinical research; integration of oncology services; and continual introduction of promising new methods of treatment.Sponsors for the event are Revitalash, Noozhawk, Edhat, Hello Bello, Raw Rev, Por La Mar Nursery and ProWest Constructors. email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

Shelters seek homes for pets T.T. has a seafront shot of an unknown location which looked to me like the French Riviera in the 1920’s, and so I searched for a similar vintage photo of a seaside with a church with two spires and a Roman Style Boathouse. Boy was I wrong. Come to find out the church in the photo with the two spires is a kind of church, but not the religious kind (although the jury is out on that philosophical point); that building, so distinctive as seen from the ocean, is the Casino de Monte Carlo. The photo is a panoramic view, an aerial photo; typically, aerial shots in 1920 were the purview of the armed forces, called the Girard producingwere/areorcompromisedthatfounderMonaco.seasidewhichCercleSociétéwholeBalletsCarlohousingentertainmentisaSo,ofwater,somethingBoathouseresemblingability.challengeGoogledecidedtheLookingObservers.forwhere“church”was,InottouseImages,andtomysleuthingThestructureaRomanhadtohavetodowithandinfactisparttheOceanographicMuseum.Iwaskindofrightaboutboth‘church’anda‘boathouse!’TheCasinodeMonteCarloacomplexofgambling,andartsoffices,theOperadeMonteandtheofficeofthedeMonteCarlo.ThecomplexisoperatedbythedesBainsdeMeretdulesÉtrangersdeMonaco,means,thebathingandsocietyforstrangersinWhyStrangers?TheoftheCasinobelievedthelocalsmightbemorallyiftheyworkedingambledinthecasino,sotheybanned.Itisarevenueplaceusingforeigner’s money, and the income is received mostly by the Royal Family of Monaco, who have since the mid-19th century owned the founding company. The genius behind this all was, of course, a woman, The Princess Consort of Monaco, Maria Caroline Gibert de Lametz (1793-1879), who became a Grimaldi after her marriage to Florestan I (1816-1856). When they married, both were actors in France, and Florestan had no great designs to be a Prince; Marie Caroline was destined to be a Princess however, as she was shrewd and wily. It was her idea to turn the Grimaldi poverty into the wifehimfewsuccessBadresponsibleentrepreneurSheBadofimitatebegantheso,fortunes,Grimaldiandtodosheamendedtaxlaws,andtheplantothegreatestallCasinos,theHomburg.chasedthefortheHomburg’sandoverayearspersuadedandhisailingtomoveto Monaco, which at that time was not Monaco as we know it at all. It was a place with few roads. But Francois Blanc set up the plans for a great casino in 1863, with his major investors being the Bishop of Monaco and Cardinal Pecci of Monaco, the future Pope Leo XIII. She named the enterprise after her heir, the future Prince Charles/Carlo.Mr.Blancknew everybody, having lent money to the French Third Republic so that France could complete the great Paris Opera House, and because of this he knew the greatest Beaux Arts architect, Charles Garnier, who designed and built the Paris Opera House, now the Palais Garnier. The Monte Carlo designs 1878-79 turned into the fabulous architecture we see today, having been changed significantly on the inside, but the façade is Mr. Garnier’s.Because it is now Monaco and all that that name implies, the Casino Monte Carlo (that looks like a church) has been the center of the world of high-style gambling for years. After all, it is James Bond’s favorite casino, seen in Never Say Never Again, and of course GoldenEye. Ocean’s Twelve happened there in 2004. And much more, such as experiments in physics: “The Monte Carlo Effect,” and various notorious gamblers who tried to beat the odds in such a palatial setting. The first was “The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo” (1892) celebrated in an eponymous song by vaudevillian Charles Coburn, about the discovery of an off kilter Roulette Wheel. Another attempt at breaking the casino’s bank was written by Ben Mezrich as a team of MIT students try “Bringing Down the House,” and in “Busting Vegas,” a young team of math geeks (based on a true story) attempt to break the bank by counting cards. The books describe the establishment’s reactions to the MIT students (whoa).Thevalue of the photo, although I can see it is a silver gelatin print, is not all that high because the photo is not signed.
Camarillo, CA – A plan to provide transitional housing for at-risk young adults throughout Ventura County recently moved a step closer to fruition. Casa Pacifica Centers for Children and Families has received funding awards in the amount of $6,820,000 to support the renovation of three residential care buildings at the agency’s Camarillo-based campus Casa Pacifica, which is the largest nonprofit provider of mental and behavioral health services for children, adolescents and families in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, offers housing, mental health and supportive services for young adults who have touched the foster care/probation system or are at high risk of homelessness.CasaPacifica’s Stepping Stones program, launched in 2012, focuses on fortifying young adults who do not have the support of family or other trusted adults. The program structure, along with experienced staff, provide critical support services, including case management, therapy, parenting and vocational skills, to help prepare young adults for greater individual responsibility and independence.Theexpansion project is part of California’s Project Homekey, administered by the California Department of Housing and Community Development, to expand housing access through the conversion of vacant hotels, motels and other buildings into both permanent and transitional housingFundingunits.for the project was a combination of state and private philanthropic donations including the County of Ventura and The William and JoAnne Miller Charitable Trust.

“The ongoing collaboration between Casa Pacifica and the County of Ventura demonstrates our shared commitment to create viable housing solutions for one of the most vulnerable populations in our region,” said Shawna Morris, Casa Pacifica CEO. “This expanded site will make an immediate difference in the lives of at-risk young adults by providing them with service-enriched and supportive housing, including access to critical mental and behavioral health services. “We are immeasurably grateful for the support from the County of Ventura and the William and JoAnne Miller Charitable Trust to ensure even more young adults can have the experience of housing with dignity and meaningful support.”“Delivering viable options for young adults who are at risk of homelessness, providing therapeutic interventions that they need and putting them on a path for successful, independent living is Casa Pacifica’s goal,” said Rob Wynner, chair, Casa Pacifica Board. “We are pleased to have great partners like the County of Ventura and Project Homekey working with us to increase living spaces and help for young adults who are at an increased risk of homelessness.”Accordingto the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness, more than 12,000 unaccompanied young adults have experienced homelessness in California since 2020. In the first four years of aging out of foster care, approximately 20% of former foster youth will experience homelessness.“Onbehalfof the County Board of Supervisors, we are very pleased to hear the news of the successful Project Homekey financial award and are thankful for the tremendous work of Casa Pacifica in expanding service atrisk youth in our communities,” said Dr. Sevet Johnson, CEO, County of Ventura. “The planned expansion will help provide additional, and much needed, transitional housing for our young adults experiencing challenges and will greatly help their healing and recovery. We are grateful for the strong partnership that we have with Casa Pacifica and are delighted to be able to provide financial support for this program to serve our community members in some of their most important times of need.”Construction for the Casa Pacifica expansion project includes remodeling three residential care buildings converted to interim housing for young adults and young adults with children. The expansion will provide 27 suites of housing and wrap-around services, available for youth aged 18 to 25, who are current or former foster youth or who have had prior experience with probation.
Codeword is a fun game with simple rules, and a great way to test your knowledge of the English Everylanguage.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 Remembergrid. 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.

Virgo: You’re probably good at applying your spiritual principles to the way you live, Virgo. You’re especially good at it today, particularly when it comes to understanding others deeply. Relationships of all kinds will likely grow and improve, at least those that matter. Those that don’t will disappear.

Aquarius: Peace reigns in the home today. Members of your household could communicate with each other almost telepathically, Aquarius. You might find it strange, but it shouldn’t be surprising. After all, they’ve been living together for a while! It’s good for peace in the home. Pisces: It you’re able to attend a social event today, Pisces, you won’t feel like talking. You could be content just to listen to what everyone else says, feel at peace, and enjoy the warmth, music, and company.

You might fetch something before he or she even knows it’s necessary. This can help you reach a new understanding of your beloved.
REVERSED “My client is innocent,” South’s counsel roared. “What if the positions of the red queens were reversed?” “Guilty,” the judge ruled. “South must cash the K-A of trumps, gaining time, then take the king of diamonds and lead a third diamond. He sets up a spade discard on a diamond winner in dummy and loses only four tricks. “And while you’re at it,” the judge added, “arrest West. He beats the contract by leading the ace and queen of spades.” hold: K 3 K 6. The dealer, at your right, opens one club. You bid one diamond, the next player raises to two clubs and two passes follow. What do you say? ANSWER: Your partner probably has a few points, and since the opponents have a trump fit, your side should have one somewhere. Double. Partner will bid a major suit or go to two diamonds. If the opponents push on to three clubs, you’ll have a better chance to go plus.

Gemini: Happiness reigns in the home, Gemini, as everyone seems to have reached a new understanding of one another. You could also experience a new sense of peace and quiet. Everyone is concentrating more on reading and working on their own projects and less on socializing.
“Your honor,” the District Attorney stated, “we will prove that South committed a felony. He lost a cold contract.”“Proceed,” the judge instructed. “Against three hearts,” the DA began, “West led the eight of diamonds. South took dummy’s ace, cashed the king of trumps and led a trump to his jack. West won and shifted to the ace and queen of spades. Declarer took dummy’s king, drew the missing trump and led another diamond. When East got in with the queen, he led a club, and West took the ace and cashed the jack of spades.”
Taurus: Your intuition should be keener than usual today, Taurus, but right now you’re apt to be more interested in historical figures, perhaps people associated with spiritual disciplines.

By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE (The Center Square) – Penalties for most Americans who filed their tax returns late for 2019 and 2020 will be waived by the Internal Revenue Service, the agency announced. On top of that, the roughly 1.6 million taxpayers who already paid the IRS for their penalty will be paid back, totaling $1.2 billion in refunds. The penalty relief and refunds are automatic so Americans will not need to apply for them and can simply expect the money to be returned to them. “To qualify for this relief, any eligible income tax return must be filed on or before September 30, 2022,” the IRS said. “In addition, the IRS is providing penalty relief to banks, employers and other businesses required to file various information returns, such as those in the 1099 series. To qualify for relief, the notice states that eligible 2019 returns must have been filed by August 1, 2020, and eligible 2020 returns must have been filed by August 1, 2021.” The penalty relief applies to “failure to file” penalties for 1040 and 1120 series forms, among others. The typical failure to file penalty is 5% per month as well as up to 25% of the tax owed when federal income tax return is filed late. “Throughout the pandemic, the IRS has worked hard to support the nation and provide relief to people in many different ways,” said IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig. “The penalty relief issued today is yet another way the agency is supporting people during this unprecedented time. This penalty relief will be automatic for people or businesses who qualify; there’s no need to call.”

Meanwhile, the IRS has taken fire for months from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle for millions of backlogged returns. As The Center Square previously reported, nearly 100 Republican and Democrat lawmakers in the House and Senate signed a letter to Mr. Rettig earlier this month. The lawmakers argue that the IRS has promised to improve the backlog and staffing situation, but it has only gotten worse.
“Since last year, numerous Members of Congress in the House and Senate have sent several letters regarding customer service issues, processing delays, and the outstanding backlog of returns,” the letter said. “Yet, we are writing again to urge the IRS to extend the suspension of automated collections, continue the pause on automated notices, keep its surge teams in place until hiring challenges and processing backlogs are adequately addressed.”

Feds: Food surgecontinuedpricestoinJuly,butoverallinflationheldsteady
By BETHANY BLANKLEY THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR (The Center Square ) – Federal agents continue to uncover stash houses used by cartel operatives who’ve trafficked people into El Paso, Texas, from Mexico. Homeland Security Investigations special agents found another stash house this week where 29 foreign nationals were being held in dire conditions, the agency said. They included 12 Mexicans, 8 Ecuadorians, 7 Guatemalans, one Honduran and one El Salvadoran. Among them were 24 men and five women between the ages of 18 and 42. All were turned over to the U.S. Border Patrol for “Humanprocessing.smugglers see people as merchandise and victimize them for profit,” Francisco Burrola, HIS-El Paso Sector special agent in charge, said. “HSI will continue to target transnational criminal organizations engaged in this crime.”Both HSI and Border Patrol are conducting an investigation into the smuggling incident. The foreign nationals who’d entered the U.S. illegally were found in a house in the 3700 block of Nashville Avenue, agents said. They were believed to have been held there against their will for between one and four days. The house has no working stove, refrigerator, air conditioning or bathroom. HSI made the announcement after the FBI El Paso office has been issuing warnings every month about El Paso being a central destination for human smuggling, kidnapping, and extortion. Stash houses can be homes, sheds or any structure used to hide illegal activity from law enforcement, the FBI explains, “to blend in, so they can be found even in the middle of a city or gated community.” They often create life threatening conditions because they aren’t adequately ventilated, cooled or heated.Citizens can identify a stash house by a lot of trash placed outside, or multiple water jugs or disposable plates lying on the ground. Different types of vehicles, especially vans and pickup trucks, often are seen entering and exiting the property at all hours of the day or night, and the vehicles have different license plates, including paper “buyer” or “dealer” tags. El Paso is located directly across the Rio Grande River from Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, one of the most violent places in the world. The Juárez Cartel and street gangs associated with it, La Línea and Bario Azteca, are warring with the Sinaloa Cartel for control of a multibillion-dollar human trafficking and drugHumantrade.smuggling is a felony, according to state and federal law, carrying different sentences depending on the degree of harm inflicted. The crime often involves willing participants who pay to be brought illegally into the U.S. who don’t realize how dangerous the journey is or that they will likely be held in bondage once they arrive. HSI’s announcement came after its special agents had also just arrested two men connected to the death of a Guatemalan man who’d entered the U.S. illegally.AxelElias Ramirez, 19, a U.S. citizen, and Jorge Soto-Ochoa, 34, a Mexican national, “were charged with conspiracy to transport and harbor illegal aliens for profit, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, a maximum fine of $250,000, or both,” HSI reported. On Aug. 15, Mr. Ramirez was transporting seven foreign nationals who’d illegally entered the U.S. in El Paso at around 4:45 a.m. After he lost control of the vehicle he was transporting them in, the vehicle fell into an irrigation canal at Upper Valley Road and Via De Los Arboles. The accident caused the death of one Guatemalan man and injuries of seven others, including Mr. Ramirez.“Thishorrific accident is yet another example of the dangers of illegally crossing the border, as well as the total disregard for safety and life by greedy, reckless human smugglers,” Agent Burrola said. “HSI is committed to disrupting and dismantling these transnational criminal organizations in collaboration with our partners at the U.S. Border Patrol and El Paso Police Department, because illicit smuggling networks not only jeopardize the lives of its victims but endanger public safety.” Mr. Soto-Ochoa was the foot guide in the smuggling scheme, according to court documents. Both men made their initial appearance in federal court Aug. 17 and are being held without bond. The apprehensions and arrests are part of HSI El Paso’s efforts to curb human smuggling in the Santa Teresa, New Mexico, area.

A recent National Taxpayer Advocate report backs up many of the lawmakers claims.“Atthe end of May, the IRS had a larger backlog of paper tax returns than it did a year ago, and its pace of processing paper tax returns was slowing,” the report said. “That the backlog continues to grow is deeply concerning, primarily because millions of taxpayers have been waiting six months or more to receive their refunds. The IRS’s paper processing delays were evident more than a year ago, and the IRS could have addressed them more aggressively at that time. Had the IRS taken steps a year ago to reassign current employees to processing functions, it could have reduced the inventory backlog carried into this filing season and accelerated the payment of refunds to millions of taxpayers.”

By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE (The Center Square) – Consumer prices remained high in July but showed only a slight increase from June, a pause from months of surging prices. The Bureau of Economic Analysis Friday released the Personal Consumption Expenditure Index data, a key marker of inflation closely watched by the U.S. Federal Reserve when it makes its interest rate decisions. “The PCE price index decreased 0.1 percent,” BEA said. “Excluding food and energy, the PCE price index increased 0.1 percent (table 9). Real DPI increased 0.3 percent in July and real PCE increased 0.2 percent; goods increased 0.2 percent and services increased 0.2 percent...” Food prices continued to rise. “From the preceding month, the PCE price index for July decreased 0.1 percent,” BEA said. “Prices for goods decreased 0.4 percent and prices for services increased 0.1 percent. Food prices increased 1.3 percent and energy prices decreased 4.8 percent. Excluding food and energy, the PCE price index increased 0.1 Meanwhile,percent.”personal income increased as“Personalwell. income increased $47.0 billion (0.2 percent) in July...” BEA said. “Disposable personal income (DPI) increased $37.6 billion (0.2 percent) and personal consumption expenditures (PCE) increased $23.7 billion (0.1 percent).”Whether this inflation pause is a temporary lull or a permanent shift remains to be seen. Overall, inflation is much higher than the same time last year because of several months of soaring prices preceding July. “From the same month one year ago, the PCE price index for July increased 6.3 percent...” BEA said. “Prices for goods increased 9.5 percent and prices for services increased 4.6 percent. Food prices increased 11.9 percent and energy prices increased 34.4 percent. Excluding food and energy, the PCE price index increased 4.6 percent from one year ago.”
