Carpinteria boys water polo team wins title By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

The Carpinteria boys water polo team, which became known for its strong season, won the CIF Division 5 title Saturday by beating the Burbank Bulldogs 12-9. “CIF accurately built the bracket of 28 teams of five single-elimination rounds ultimately pitting the #1 seed Warriors (254), versus #2 Bulldogs (25-2),” Coach Jon Otsuki told the News-Press in an email. “After a three-hour long trek in the Carpinteria district school bus and unseasonably warm 92 degree temperatures, they arrived at the Woollett Aquatic Complex in Irvine,” Otsuki said. “It was a bit concerning as the team

usually maintains a ‘loose’ attitude but today was different. They were not tense or overly anxious, but they were focused and poised for the competition. “The Bulldogs had one player the Warriors were concerned about, Johnny Agazaryan, #7, a man amongst boys,” Otsuki said. “Coach Stephen Kim had him in his crosshairs and would do anything to prevent him from taking the title from his Carpinteria team. And Johnny showed his remarkable ability to beat even a triple team and score from ten meters away as he tallied three of the Bulldogs first five goals. “Though the game was tied at half 6-6, the score did not paint a fair picture of the contest as the Warriors had three shots that floated “on” the goal line but did not

count on the scoreboard,” Otsuki said. “The third quarter was a pivotal time in the game as Asher Smith, who led the Warriors in goals scored this season with 112 goals and an amazing 26 in the playoffs, got into his rhythm, scoring two from his two-meter position and another on a long counter attack. Reyn Clayton also scored on a counter attack that erupted the Carpinteria fans. “It was a bit of an overthrow by goalie Jacob Taff and the Bulldog goalie came out of his cage for the steal. Clayton narrowly beat him to the ball, spun around the goalie and swam it into the cage. He later stated that as unusual as it seemed, he did not want to risk missing the shot right in front of the goal. His play,

the reaction of the fans, and a 10-7 lead deflated the Burbank team. “After the 4-1 third quarter goal difference, the Warriors continued to apply pressure and would not let their guard down, outscoring their opponent 21 in the final quarter,” Otsuki said. “There were many ‘firsts’ for this team defeating many other schools for the first time ever, however the only ‘first’ everyone was focused on was this one game, just one chance. This year also includes many “lasts” as nine of the 29 team members are seniors. There was the last early morning conditioning, last hard swim set, last home game, and a last chance to put the pieces together to win the title together.

Thanksgiving Western Monarch Butterfly Count kicks off

“The team understood everyone had a role, everyone had to play selflessly or we would not succeed,” Otsuki said. “As those concepts were accepted, the very important foundation of trust was built. “Asher Smith led the team in scoring with seven, Justin Main and Mateo Handall scored two each, Zach Isaac and Reyn Clayton tallied one. “Early in the second quarter goalie Jacob Taff blocked a five-meter penalty shot that was a timely momentum game changer,” Otsuki said. “People speak or read about goals scored but the Warriors’ run to the CIF title would not have been possible without the goalie play of Jacob Taff.” email: dmason@newspress.com

California to receive nation’s largest portion of infrastructure bill By MADISON HIRNEISEN The Center Square

A monarch butterfly takes a breather on a flower in Ventura. Counting is underway for the 25th annual Thanksgiving Western Monarch Butterfly Count.

By KATHERTINE ZEHNDER News-Press Correspondent

The 25th annual Thanksgiving Western Monarch Butterfly Count has arrived! The Western Monarch Butterfly Count is a volunteer effort to collect data on the status of the western monarch population along the Pacific Coast starting in Mendocino and ranging all the way down to Northern Baja, Mexico, during overwintering, which occurs approximately from October to March. The height of this effort takes place during the Western Monarch Thanksgiving Count,

which occurs for three weeks around the Thanksgiving holiday. There was an additional count added in 2017, which takes place for three weeks around New Year’s. The annual Thanksgiving Monarch Count is a community science program organized through the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation. The Thanksgiving count will run from Nov. 13 through Dec. 5 and the New Year’s Count will run from Dec. 25 through Jan. 9. Monarch butterflies at Goleta’s Ellwood Butterfly Grove are returning for the winter season, yet remain at historically low

make life better for millions of California residents, create a generation of good-paying union jobs and economic growth and position the United States to win the 21st century,” the White House said. Gov. Gavin Newsom addressed the infrastructure investment during an appearance at the California Economic Summit on Tuesday, saying that while this is an “unprecedented investment,” the state continues to allocate additional funds toward infrastructure development. Under the governor’s California Comeback Plan, about $100 billion is being invested into the state’s infrastructure, which will be supported by additional funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Under the plan, $2 billion is allocated to wildfire and emergency preparedness, $3.9 billion is going toward zeroemission vehicle goals, $5.2 billion over three years is going toward drought response and water resilience and $6 billion has been allocated toward expanding broadband. “Mad respect for the federal government, there’s still no substitute for your state,” Mr. Newsom said Tuesday. “Our state investments are profound and need to maintain in terms of their prominence, and we can’t just look to Washington D.C. to solve all these problems. But nonetheless, we are at a point of real abundance across the spectrum, our ability to invest an unprecedented amount of money in infrastructure and in human capital.”

(The Center Square) – California is slated to receive about $45.5 billion from the massive infrastructure bill passed in Congress last week, an investment that state officials say will help create jobs and improve infrastructure. The U.S. House of Representatives passed the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act late Friday, spending $550 billion of new federal investments (coupled with previously approved funds) to improve the nation’s infrastructure over the next five years. As part of the bill’s passage, states across the country are receiving billions to update transportation systems, advance broadband, improve water infrastructure and update roads and bridges. California is receiving the largest share of the $1.2 trillion investment, with portions of the funding allocated for upgrades, repairs and expansions of critical infrastructure. The breakdown of the $45.5 billion levels out to about $1,100 per Californian, which is among the lowest of any state, according to CNBC. Under the spending plan, California expects to receive over five years: • $25.3 billion for federal-aid highway apportioned programs and $4.2 billion for bridge replacement and repairs; • $9.45 billion to improve public transportation; • $384 million to expand the electric vehicle charging network; • At least $100 million to expand broadband coverage; • $84 million to protect against wildfires; • $40 million to protect against cyberattacks; • $3.5 billion to improve water infrastructure; • $1.5 billion for infrastructure development at airports. In a statement, the White House said “the need for action in California is clear,” particularly after a 2019 report from the American Society of Civil Engineers gave the state a C- grade on its infrastructure report card. “The historic Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will

Westmont women’s soccer squad tops in GSAC By RON SMITH WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

For the second year in a row, #16 Westmont women’s soccer (10-1-5) has claimed the Golden State Athletic Conference Championship and the conference’s automatic berth in the NAIA National Championship. In what must have felt like déjà vu for the Warrior faithful, penalty kicks were required to determine the conference champion. After Westmont (10-1-5) and Hope International (12-0-3) tied 2-2 in regulation and two overtime periods, the Warriors prevailed 5-4 in a shootout. “This game was an emotional rollercoaster,” acknowledged Westmont head coach Jenny Jaggard. “I was very upset with how we played the first half. I felt like Hope wanted it more, but we turned it around in the second half and began to work our game plan and battled to get back into it.” Hope International went ahead 1-0 in the 10th minute when Maggie Bender lived up to her name and scored her first goal of the season on a free kick from 40 yards out. The Royals held onto the lead until the 30th minute when Grace Duckens scored an equalizer. Duckens received the ball

CHULA VISTA– The No. 1 Santa Barbara City College women’s water polo team won the SoCal Regional Championship on Saturday, beating No. 4 Long Beach 13-9 before taking down No. 2 Fullerton 10-9 in the championship game. The Vaqueros (29-6 overall) clinched their first SoCal championship since 2017. “I’m extremely proud of my team. We’ve overcome a multitude of obstacles to get to this position,” head coach Chuckie Roth said. “This is a team that does the little things right, and it shows. They’re incredibly gritty and tough, and that’s why we’re having the success we’ve had this season. Fullerton is an amazing team and well coached. We as a program have so much respect for them.”

SBCC 13, Long Beach 9 In its first game of the day, SBCC was able to make it a perfect 3-0 for the season against Long Beach. Sophomore Jenna Olsen went for five goals and five steals to lead the Vaqueros. Long Beach opened the game with a 2-0 lead before Santa Barbara went on a big run. The Vaqueros took a 7-5 lead into halftime and had a 4-0 advantage in the third to cap a 10-2 spurt. Megan Ditlof, Allison Kay, Charlize Winter and Eden Tal all tallied two goals. Ditlof and Emily Lopez paced the team with four drawn exclusions each. Goalkeeper Chloe Mckay finished with 11 saves.

SBCC 10, Fullerton 9 Santa Barbara entered the SoCal Regional Championship already having defeated Fullerton three times this season, each time by one goal. The Vaqueros made it 4-for-4 on Saturday, using a 6-1 run midway through the game to knock off the Hornets 10-9. Olsen and Ditlof both recorded hat tricks. It was the third straight for Olsen, who went for 12 goals in three games at the SoCal Regionals. Tal, Winter, Lopez and Ensley Letterman rounded out SBCC’s goalscorers. Mckay posted 11 saves, reaching that mark for the third time in four games.

Westmont men’s basketball remains undefeated going into GSAC play By JACOB NORLING WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

LOS ANGELES — After winning all five home games during their pre-conference slate, the Westmont men’s basketball (6-0) hit the road for the first time all season Saturday night. The Warriors showed no signs of being homesick in their road contest, as they defeated Occidental (0-2) by a score of 8970 in Los Angeles. “Coach Josh Erickson put us in position to succeed with his scouting report,” said Westmont head coach Landon Boucher. “I thought our guys were really dialed in and motivated to finish off our preseason 6-0 going into next week.” Freshman Nate Meithof continued to make headlines as he led the club with 22 points while shooting eight of 12 from the field. Right behind Meithof was senior captain Cade Roth, who poured in five 3-pointers en route to a 21 point performance. “Nate was special tonight,” noted Boucher. “He was great offensively again, but tonight what stood out was a couple huge blocks in the second half, as well as his ability to rebound down the stretch. Nate played really good defense as well. He guarded their best player in man-to-man and held him at bay.

“Nate had an all-around great game and I was proud to see him do so many things to help us win. “Cade is looking like he did at the end of the summer, after he put in a whole six months of work in Santa Barbara. His hard work is paying off and it is so nice for us to have another shooter on the perimeter when we have great attackers like Jared and Nate.” Also in double figures for the Warriors was Ajay Singh with 17 points and Jared Brown with 15. Singh led the club with nine rebounds while Brown led the squad with six assists. Overall, the Warriors shot 61.4% from the field (35-57) and outrebounded the Tigers 36-21. In the first half, Westmont came out of the gate swinging, going on an 11-3 run to force Occidental to call their first timeout. A 3-pointer from Brown capped off a 10-5 run following the timeout to give the Warriors a 21-8 advantage, and the Tigers never pulled within less than seven for the remainder of the half. Eventually, a converted three from Brown capped off a red-hot first half for the Warriors who went into the locker room with a 49-33 advantage after shooting 70.4% (19-27) from the field. After a second half slump against La Sierra on Wednesday, the Warriors kept their heads

down and maintained pressure on the opposition on Saturday night. Thirteen of Meithof’s 22 points came in the second half of action, while the Warriors outscored the Tigers 40-37 to not only maintain, but slightly widen their lead. “I think more than anything, our guys learned from their mistakes on Wednesday,” explained Boucher. “It was unfortunate that it happened then, but it propelled us to have a strong finish tonight. Rather than just being happy about the win, we critiqued our performance and learned from it. That awareness showed on the court tonight.” Westmont’s attention now turns to next Saturday night, when they will host The Master’s to open GSAC play. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. and tickets are available on the Westmont athletics website. “I hope the Westmont community comes out and supports our guys,” said Boucher. “We’re going to need that home crowd, because The Master’s is a great team. I hope it’s a great environment for our guys to play in.” Jacob Norling is the sports information assistant at Westmont College. email: dmason@newspress.com

Westmont remains undefeated in women’s basketball with win over La Sierra By RON SMITH WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

The NAIA’s top-ranked women’s basketball team improved its season record to 4-0 as Westmont defeated La Sierra (2-2) by a score of 85-51 Saturday in Murchison Gymnasium. Five Warriors scored in double figures led by Laila Saenz who tallied a career-high 20 points. Saenz knocked down six of 10 from long distance. Stefanie Berberabe made six of 10 from the field on her way to 14 points. She also dished off seven assists and collected six steals for the Warriors. Three Warriors tallied 12 points – Iyree Jarrett, who also had seven assists; Sydney Brown who added five rebounds; and freshman guard Haylie Dermer. Dermer’s dozen were the first points of her collegiate career and came on four 3-point buckets. “It was so fun to see Haylie get in there and shoot with confidence,” said Westmont head coach Kirsten Moore. “She is still learning on the fly, but for her to shoot with confidence will give us a lot.” Gabriella Stoll led the way on the boards for the Warriors with 10 rebounds. Seven and one-half minutes into the game, Westmont held just an 11-10 lead. However, a 100 run put the Warriors in the driver’s seat. Jarrett scored half of those points on two free throws and a 3-pointer. Berberabe added an ‘and-one” and Aleena Cook capped off the run with a jumper. Westmont led 21-12 going into the second quarter in which it outscored La Sierra 22-7 to take a commanding 24-point lead (43-19). Nine of those points were the result of Dermer connecting from beyond the arc on three consecutive attempts.

Five Warriors scored in double figures led by Laila Saenz who tallied a careerhigh 20 points. Saenz knocked down six of 10 from long distance. Westmont’s largest lead of the night came with 8:57 remaining to play when Gabriella Stoll connected from 3-point range to give Westmont a 42-point margin (75-33). In all, Westmont went 14 of 30 from 3-point range (46.7%). If there was a weakness in the Warriors’’ performance tonight, it was in layups. Westmont made just 11 of 31 attempts (35.5%). “If we could make lay-ups at the same percentage we make threes, we would be dangerous,” quipped Moore after the game. With the win, Westmont has extended its winning streak to 19 games and has now won its last 33 against non-NCAA Division I teams. The Warriors will be back in action on Tuesday, November 16 when they host the Pioneers of Antelope Valley (2-3) at 5:30 p.m. Ron Smith is the sports information director at Westmont College. email: dmason@newspress.com

make, and the shootout continued. A miss, and Hope wears the crown. Kingsley’s penalty kick on Thursday against The Master’s was saved by the keeper, but today, she found the net to tie the shootout score at four. Pressley Honeycutt made the next attempt for the Royals. Honeycutt shot to her left, but Chipembere dove to her right and blocked the ball with both hands. That brought Taylie Scott to the penalty kick spot with a chance to win the shootout for the Warriors. Scott lined up left of the ball and Pedroza guessed that Scott would shoot to her right. She did not. When Scott’s shot hit the net, her teammates rushed toward her and toward Chipembere in celebration. They were quickly joined by dozens of Westmont students, including the entire baseball team, who had joined the crowd during the overtime period. “This was a full team effort today,” said Jaggard. “We were really tired from Thursday, so we played a lot of people to try to keep the tempo of the game as high as possible and everyone did a great job contributing. We are a very fit team and that came into play today getting the equalizer to tie it up

six-yard box. Katie Stella timed a run into the box perfectly and one-touched Davidson’ pass with her right foot while it was in the air, redirecting it into the net. With neither team scoring in the final 12 minutes of regulation and two overtime periods, the game was officially ruled a tie. A shootout period was then needed to determine the 2021 GSAC Champion. Hope’s Lauren Lizarraga took the first penalty kick and succeeded before Davidson matched the effort for Westmont, making the shootout score 1-1. After Bender made a PK for the Royals, Westmont’s Daisy Alvarez had her shot blocked by Pedroza. Up 2-1, the Royals had a chance to take a two-goal lead, but Luli Bethencourt’s attempt clanked high off the right post, leaving Westmont within one. Stella then took Westmont’s third attempt and tied the shootout at two apiece. Both Hope’s Monique Cervantes and Westmont’s Ande Siegel made their team’s respective fourth attempts to keep the shootout tied. Then Hope sent Ofelia Sosa Cruz to attempt the Royals’ fifth penalty kick, which she converted. That put Karly Kingsley in a must-make situation. A

The Royal’s Jazlyn Arevalo got a head on it, but was unable to terminate the ball’s momentum toward the goal. Her touch altered the flight of the ball just enough to put it out of goalkeeper Siera Pedroza’s reach. In the 60th minute, lightning struck for the second time in the form of Bender and a free kick. From 35 yards out on the right flank, her free kick was delivered to the netting unabated. In the 74th minute, Jaggard made a strategic decision to put Charlotte Chipembere in as goalkeeper. “Kailey Meyer had an off game today in goal and I was so proud of how Charlotte stepped in and finished the game,” said Jaggard. “She is a great shot stopper and we had confidence that she would do well in the penalty shootout. I’m so happy for her getting to contribute in such a major way today.” Once more, the Warriors needed an equalizer, which finally came in the 78th minute. Shayna Stock passed the ball along the ground to Reese Davidson on the left flank. Davidson touched the ball once down the line with her left foot, then used the same foot to send a cross into the

UCSB women’s volleyball Westmont volleyball mastered by The Master’s falls to Long Beach State By JACOB NORLING WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

SANTA CLARITA — Westmont Volleyball (20-10, 14-4 GSAC) had no answer for The Master’s (9-19, 5-13) on Saturday night, as the Mustangs downed the Warriors in four sets. After splitting the first two games, The Master’s defeated Westmont in convincing fashion in sets three and four, taking both games by a score of 25-17. “Our minds were elsewhere,” stated Westmont head coach Ruth McGolpin. “The bottom line is we were not physically, mentally or emotionally there tonight. I’m not sure what else was preoccupying their focus, but it was clear that the focus needed to compete in this match was not present.” In set one, The Master’s led at one point by a score of 20-15, but a kill from Patty Kerman sparked a rally that led the Warriors to a 25-24 lead. With a chance to come away with a thrilling come-frombehind win, Westmont conceded three consecutive kills to drop the set 27-25.

In the second set, Westmont initially trailed 9-6 before Sara Krueger recorded a kill that began a 9-2 run for the Warriors, who then claimed a 1511 advantage. Later on, another kill from Kerman solidified the Warriors grasp on game two as they tied the match up with a 2519 win. Then, The Master’s played their best volleyball in recent memory while the Warriors did the exact opposite. In the third set, the Mustangs led 10-8 going into the middle of the set. Then, a three-point run gave the home team a 138 advantage. Westmont clawed to stay within striking distance, pulling within three at 1512, but a five-point swing gave the Mustangs a 20-13 lead, extinguishing any thought of a Westmont comeback. Then, in the fourth and final set of the night, The Master’s scored the first three points of the set, and the Warriors never so much as tied things up. Going into Westmont’s final timeout, the Warriors trailed 16-8. Out of the

timeout, a game-saving run never came, and The Master’s won 25-17 to claim just their fifth GSAC win in 18 matches. “We just shot ourselves in the foot,” said McGolpin. “We didn’t play with much heart and The Master’s had one of their best games all season. It was not a recipe for us to have success.” For Westmont, the club will now turn the page to Monday, when they will find out where they’ll be headed for the NAIA Opening Round. After finishing second in the conference during the regular season, Westmont received an automatic bid into the tournament. “We live to see another day,” said McGolpin. “It’s do or die at this point now. One game to either win and go to Iowa or lose and our season is finished. Given those stakes, it should be easy to be motivated as we get ready this week.

LONG BEACH — The UCSB women’s volleyball team suffered a tough 3-1 loss on the road at Long Beach State on Saturday night. This is just the first time since mid-September that the Gauchos have lost two out of three matches. Michelle Ohwobete led all players with 12 kills, swinging a .345 clip. The Gauchos led the match in nearly every statistical category except aces, suffering seven from Long Beach State and committing nine service errors of their own. Macall Peed led all players with 16 digs and added seven assists and an ace. In the first set, LBSU won 25-20. The Gauchos never held a lead in the opening set, hitting just .147 and converting on less than 50% of their sideout opportunities. LBSU took the second set by a score of 25-17. Although UCSB rode an early run to a 6-4 lead, Long Beach quickly mounted an 8-0 run to take a commanding lead at 13-7. The Gauchos hit a match-

Report: Majority of Californians expect ‘bad’ economic times in coming year By MADISON HIRNEISEN The Center Square

(The Center Square) – Californians have mixed views over the economic outlook for the next twelve months despite Gov. Gavin Newsom’s optimistic outlook for the state’s recovery, a new report found this week. During an appearance at the California Economic Summit on Tuesday, Mr. Newsom bragged on the state’s “dominance” on the world stage, highlighting the state’s economy and recovery. “California has no peers, and continues to have no peers,” Mr. Newsom said Tuesday. “We are world-beating in terms of our economic growth in the last five years.” But despite Mr. Newsom’s optimistic stance on the state’s economy, a new report released Tuesday from the Public Policy

Institute of California (PPIC) revealed that fewer than half of Californians expect good economic times in the next 12 months. The survey revealed that about 47% of Californians expect good economic times in the next year, while 52% expect bad times. The study, which overviewed the economic well-being of Californians between Oct. 12 and Oct. 31, additionally found that 69% of Californians feel the gap between the rich and poor in their region is increasing. The report explains that most Californians also believe that the lack of well-paying jobs is a problem in their part of the state, with 22% considering it a “big problem.” “Overwhelming majorities across age, education, gender, and racial/ethnic groups view this as a problem,” PPIC reported.

“Notably, 26% of Californians say they have seriously considered moving from their part of the state because of the lack of wellpaying jobs. “Among those who have considered moving, most would leave the state rather than go somewhere else in California.” The report surveyed 2,292 California adult residents and has a sample error rate of 3.2%. In a report released late last month, PPIC found that 408,000 Californians quit their job in August – a number that represents about 2.5% of the state’s workforce. According to the report, more Californians left their jobs in August than at any point in the last two decades. At the same time, job openings are historically high in the state, though there are still more unemployed workers per job opening, according to PPIC. The

Westmont Christmas Festival comes to Granada Theatre On Saturday, Dec. 4, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 5, at 3 p.m., the 17th Annual Westmont Christmas Festival will appear for the first time at the famed Santa Barbara Granada Theatre. Every year, the festival centers around a theme which aims to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ through narrative, inspiring presentation and Christmas music from around the world and through the centuries. This year’s theme is Titus 2:11: “For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all.” “It emphasizes the offer of God’s saving grace to all people,”says Michael Shasberger, Westmont College’s Adams professor of music and worship. The theme recurs throughout the festival from the sonorous opening of Russian composer Pavel Chesnokov, Salvation is Created to narrations for the season, and the thrilling concluding setting of O Holy Night. Tickets, which cost $20 each, go on sale Tuesday, Nov. 23, at 5 p.m. at westmont.edu/ festival.

organization said this “could reduce job options for Californians seeking work or looking to change jobs,” though this could vary based on industry. The latest study from PPIC also found that economic security remains a challenge for some Californians, with 21% reporting someone in their house has cut back on food, put off seeing a doctor or purchasing medicine to save money (18%), been unable to pay a monthly bill (17%) or had trouble paying the rent or mortgage (17%) in the last year. “More than one in four households earning less than $40,000 report these difficulties, compared to one in ten (or fewer) households making more than $80,000,” the report found. “Across racial/ ethnic groups, Latinos and African Americans are the most likely to report any of these issues.”

Black conservatives warn of ‘energy poverty’ if Line 5 is closed By BRUCE WALKER The Center Square

(The Center Square) – Citing the potential threat of energy poverty, a national organization of Black activist groups has appealed to President Joe Biden’s administration to allow the Line 5 pipeline to remain open. Project 21 is an initiative sponsored by the National Center for Public Policy Research in Washington, D.C. The initiative includes members and organizations aimed at providing conservative solutions to problems facing African-American communities. Project 21 and its affiliate groups and members are responding to the revelation this week from the Biden administration that it is exploring whether to support Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s efforts to close the five-mile stretch of pipeline spanning the Straits of Mackinac. Ms. Whitmer and Attorney General Dana Nessel are also seeking to prevent the building of a $500 million tunnel to house the pipeline. Costs of the tunnel

would be shouldered completely by Enbridge Inc., the Canadian company that owns and operates the Line 5 pipeline, which has been in operation since 1953. Among the problems Project 21 seeks to address is energy poverty, which Project 21 member and Reaching America President Derrick Hollie told The Center Square is exacerbated by government policies that result in higher heating fuel and gasoline costs. Those higher costs force lower-income families to sometimes choose between food and other amenities such as gasoline to drive to work and keeping their homes warm in the winter and cooler during the summer. “Why would President Biden want to increase the misery of people already trying to keep up with the inflation he caused? It’s absurd that he wants to increase their misery by reducing the flow of oil into the Great Lakes region at the onset of winter,” Project 21 member Emery McClendon said in a statement. “America needs this vital pipeline to remain open. Americans must not be denied the

ability to stay warm during the harsh winter ahead. Closing down the Line 5 pipeline will unduly affect Americans’ standard of living – especially those living in black communities who are already struggling to make ends meet.” Research conducted by Jason Hayes, environmental director at the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, and Isaac Orr, policy fellow at the Center for the American Experience, and published in September 2020, concluded even the temporary closure of Line 5 could result in the following consequences: Leave Michigan’s Upper Peninsula vulnerable to heating fuel price spikes and supply shortages. Government-implemented price controls designed to limit price increases will likely prolong shortages. Alternative home heating options will result in a two- to three-fold increase in heating costs; switching from propane to electric heat could increase home heating costs by $3,400 to $3,900 per year, for example.

Transition from propane to electric appliances, water heaters and furnaces could cost more than $25,000 per household. Upgrading each propaneheated home to meet energy efficiency standards and reduce energy consumption might cost between $15 million and $470 million, depending on how strict a standard is used. Mr. Hollie contrasted the energy independence enjoyed by the United States in 2019, compared with projections for price increases for the upcoming winter months. Citing U.S. Energy Information Administration data as quoted by the New York Times, he said electricity heating costs could rise 15% per household; increase 50% for households heated by natural gas; and 59% for households relying on heating oil. Houses heated by propane could experience an astronomical jump of 94%. “By 2019, not only were we energy independent,” Mr. Hollie said. “We had also surpassed Saudi Arabia and Russia as the Number One oil production net exporter.”

Beverly Hills: The city with the worst income inequality in California By SAMUEL STEBBINS

In Beverly Hills, the top 20% of households by earnings account for 62.5% of all income in the area, while the bottom 20% of households account for just 1.6% of earnings.

24/7 Wall St. via The Center Square

(The Center Square) - The United States has some of the highest levels of income and wealth inequality in the world. U.S. Federal Reserve data shows that the wealthiest 10% of Americans control $93.8 trillion, more than double the $40.3 trillion in the hands of the remaining 90% of Americans. The income and wealth divide only appears to be growing wider. A January 2020 report published by the Pew Research Center found that over the last four decades, income growth for the top 5% of families by earnings has far outpaced income growth for families in the lower income strata. In a nation as large as the U.S., varied levels of income inequality may be expected, and in a few areas in the country, extreme wealth and extreme poverty exist side by side. In nearly every state, there is at least one city where

income inequality is far more pronounced than it is on average nationwide. Based on the Gini coefficient, a measure of income inequality expressed on a 0 to 1 scale where 0 represents perfect equality and 1 represents the highest level of inequality, Beverly Hills has the worst inequality in California. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Gini coefficient in Beverly Hills stands at 0.586, the highest of any city in California. For context, the statewide Gini score stands at 0.489. In Beverly Hills, the top 20% of households

by earnings account for 62.5% of all income in the area, while the bottom 20% of households account for just 1.6% of earnings. Across the state, the disparity is less pronounced, with the highest earning 20% of households accounting for 52.1% of income versus 3.0% for the bottom 20% of earners. All data in this story are five-year estimates from the U.S. Bureau’s 2019 American Community Survey. For comparison purposes, all places covered by the census with populations above 25,000 - including towns, boroughs, municipalities, and unincorporated communities - were considered cities.

Mr. Hollie said he thinks climate change is a reality, but does not consider it as much of a crisis as the energy policies that drive up costs for not just persons of color but every family struggling from paycheck to paycheck.

July 10, 1929 — September 23, 2021

On September 23, 2021, Leland McCormack Crawford, Jr. passed peacefully at home in Montecito. Family and caregivers were by his side. Leland, the youngest of three children, was born at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital on July 10, 1929. He spent his childhood riding bikes with his two sisters from the Santa Barbara Mission to the Montecito Country Club, the Coral Casino, Miramar Beach and the muni tennis courts. He later graduated from Santa Barbara High School and UC Berkeley, where he met his wife Francesca Jensen. He was an active Chi Phi fraternity brother and finished his law degree at UC Hastings.

During their active and loving 63 years of marriage, Leland and Frani volunteered for Montecito’s Beautification Day and many other charities, played tennis and golf, danced, socialized with friends and family, and organized golf trips all over the world. Leland read volumes of historical novels and books on US and world history, rarely missing the chance to debate history or current affairs. Never a dull moment be had when in his company. He shall be missed. Leland was predeceased by his mother Mae McCormack and his father Leland Morris Crawford; his sisters Eleanor Cassedy and Elizabeth Fee; and his adoring, beloved wife Francesca Jensen Crawford, whom he finally joins to continue their eternity of love and friendship. Leland is survived by his devoted daughter Paula Emmens and her husband Bruce; son Leland M.

There’s a lot of history behind firefighter’s medals

R. has a vintage (19101920) firefighter’s brass medal, composed of a pin bar in the shape of an elongated bugle, from which dangles a miniature fireman’s helmet (as the headgear was termed when patented), accurately rendered. Often these were given as awards at fireman’s conventions, which is what they were called. Please forgive my non-PC use of the word “fireman.” Now that I’ve explained about the conventions, the rest of this article will call these noble folks “firefighters.” The symbolism of the trade has deep meaning — and those symbols are all contained in this little 3.5 by- 2-inch medal. The shape of the medal is the shape of an American firefighter’s helmet, pioneered by a New York City luggage maker named Henry T. Gratacap, who developed a structural support and a process of treating leather that made symbolic and functional history. His helmet in the 1830s had a long rear brim, called a duckbill or beavertail, to prevent water down the firefighter’s back and a front shield with symbolic elements above the eyebrow, surmounted by a crest top The crown of the helmet was built from six to eight “combs” or beams that formed a strong defense against falling debris and provided added durability. The crest top was used in a pinch to break windows. By 1889, J. R. Hopkins patented the firefighter’s helmet on July 18, 1889. This little medal features engravings of four emblems of the firefighter. In full-sized badges and helmets, we often see these symbols inside an eight-sided cross called the Maltese Cross or sometimes St. Florian’s Cross. The Maltese cross dates from the period of the Crusades, when the Knights of St John defended themselves against firestorms and firebombs. The Knights were distinguished by their red capes, which also function in a pinch to beat down a flame. Hence the

tradition of red for firefighters. St Florian was a 3rd-4th century Christian commander in the Roman army, who organized one of the first firefighting forces in Noricum and was martyred for his faith: He is the patron saint of firefighters. The concept of a paid municipal firefighting force is relatively new. American firefighters were volunteer forces from the Colonial days onward, until 1853 when Columbus, Ohio organized a paid force. British firefighting began to be organized on a municipal level as early as 1824 at James Braidwood’s Edinburgh Fire Engine Establishment. Braidwood was asked by the city of London to set up a similar municipal organization there. Braidwoodl died an interesting but tragic death: British firefighters were mainly recruits from the Royal Navy, and when on duty expected their ration of rum. Braidwell died handing out flammable rum. When grouped together on a helmet of a badge, the grouping of symbols unique to firefighters is called “the Scramble”. Breaking down the symbols on this little medal, the helmet bears images that symbolize preparedness. We find the nine-rung ladder. The nine rungs symbolize the connectedness and durability of the individual (we all originate in a process of nine months), and the ladder, our resourcefulness. We see a pike, once used by ancient firefighters to pull down masonry walls. We see a 19th-cehtury style firehose, and we see a bugle. Another elongated bugle acts as the pin bar that attached the medal to the lapel. The bugle is a symbol of leadership. Before loudspeakers or radios, the leader of the fire brigade joined his forces and directed them with a bugle. In some “scrambles,” multiple bugles symbolize the rank of a firefighter. The more bugles, the more senior. Strangely enough, the early

history of firefighting was not so noble. Under Marcus Licinius Crassus in third-century Rome, a fire brigade was formed that would rush to the scene. From here, intense negotiation would follow with the building’s owner as to the cost of the brigade. British firefighters, like American firefighters, were volunteers — that is, until the Great Fire of 1666, when Fire Insurance Companies were developed that issued special policies and badges. If your building was not insured by a specific company, too bad. No less than George Washington in Alexandria, Va., established the Friendship Veterans Fire Engine Company, and George also gave them their first fire engine. He acted as a volunteer as well. Benjamin Franklin was instrumental in establishing

the first fire department in Philadelphia in 1763, but on the whole fire brigades in both England and America were obligated to private insurance companies. In Santa Barbara we love our firefighters; the market for such a medal is wide and active. This small trinket would sell for $100 today.

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.

Libra - Cash rules everything around you, Libra. The slew of planets in Scorpio continues to poke around in your money sector, keeping your eyes on the (financial) prize. Wednesday, in particular, may see a major change in your finances with Mercury and Mars joining in a conjunction. Scorpio - We continue our stroll (speed run?) through your season, Scorpio, but you’re doing fine, aren’t you? As the sun, Mercury, and Mars are idling in your appearance zone, you are definitely being seen. Keeping this in mind, take care not to come off aggressively, especially with Mercury and Mars conjoining on Wednesday. Sagittarius - Similar to Libra, you’re focusing on the concept of value, especially with Venus in Capricorn sitting in your finance zone, Sagittarius. However, unlike your airy predecessor, these musings are more than surface level. With the mass of planets in Scorpio planets in your unconscious sector — not to mention the Mercury-Mars conjunction on Wednesday — your thoughts are erring on the profound side. Capricorn - It’s rare that you speak carelessly, Capricorn. After all, you’re no Sagittarius. However, this week’s astro-weather casts a spotlight on communication with Wednesday’s Mercury-Mars conjunction. Aquarius - Being the workaholic of the zodiac is usually Capricorn’s lane, but you’ve been angling for that position over the last few weeks, Aquarius. The sun, Mercury, and Mars continue their dance through your career zone, and your coworkers and even boss are responding to this energy. Perhaps you’re finally being listened to or getting some shine for your efforts. Pisces - As per usual, your head is in the clouds. Whereas the rest of us are focused on terrestrial pursuits, you’re focused on your life’s greater philosophy. Are you happy with where you’re at? Your beliefs and educational pursuits? Scorpio season is the time for profound change and shedding your skin. As a water sign, you are a fluid character and should never begrudge yourself for wanting to switch things up.

HOROSCOPE Aries — This week’s heavy Scorpionic energy will be hitting you full force, Aries. With the sun, Mercury, and Mars in that mighty sign and your sector of personal transformation. If you’ve been feeling stagnant, Scorpio season is asking that you take a long, hard look at what may be causing your dissatisfaction. After some contemplation, you may find that the issue is internal rather than external. Taurus - Trouble in paradise, Taurus? Mars has been in Scorpio and your relationship sector for about a new now. With Mercury conjoining Mars on Wednesday, those of you in relationships may see disagreements materializing out of what seems to be thin air, but don’t let it sweat you! ‘Tis simply the astro-weather stirring up trouble. Gemini - Have you been taking care of your health, Gemini? The wealth of Scorpionic energy this month has been loitering in your sector of health and routine sector, inspiring some drastic changes in your day-to-day. Your body is a temple, and it’s high time that you start treating it that way! Cancer - You’re generally a homebody, Cancer, and that’s totally valid. But this week’s energy asks that you let your hair down a bit. The sun, Mercury, and Mars continue to populate your pleasure and creativity sector. Paired with lovely Venus in Capricorn in your romance zone, now may be the time to consider letting yourself fall into a fling or two if you’re presently unattached. Leo - Perhaps now is the time to take a life from Cancer and pay more attention to the home front, Leo. Wednesday’s skies see settling Mars and Mercury in Scorpio meeting in a conjunction and your domestic zone, heating things up where your family is concerned. Virgo - Your tolerance for nonsense is pretty low, Virgo. However, you may find your nerves a little more frayed than usual this week, especially with the Mercury-Mars conjunction in Scorpio and your communication zone on Wednesday. While people may test your patience, it’s important that you not take the bait, as your words may come out a little — or a lot — harsher than intended, so cool it.

Gov. Gavin Newsom

By MADISON HIRNEISEN The Center Square

(The Center Square) – In preparation for a potential winter surge in COVID-19 cases, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order that will ensure the state’s health care facilities have adequate staffing and resources through the winter months. The order extends provisions enacted earlier in the pandemic that allows health care workers from other states to provide services in California. It also expands the health care workforce by enabling certain medical and emergency personnel to continue supporting the state’s COVID-19 response. In addition, the order allows health care facilities to adapt its spaces to accommodate patients in alternate areas, which includes using parking lots as pop-up clinics for vaccine distribution. Under the order, these

provisions are extended through March 31, 2022. The order comes as California is tracking an increase in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in recent weeks, which placed the state back in the highest tier of community transmission, according to metrics outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As of Wednesday afternoon, the state had a case rate of 111.6 per 100,000. The governor spoke about the potential surge of COVID-19 cases over the winter during a press conference in Los Angeles on Wednesday, where he warned that “winter is coming.” Mr. Newsom encouraged everyone eligible to get vaccinated or get the booster shot as soon as possible to increase immunity heading into the end of the year. “The way out of this pandemic is to get people immunized, and so we want to continue to encourage that,” Mr. Newsom said.

Newsom’s office refutes criticism about extended public absence, adverse reaction to booster shot By BETHANY BLANKLEY The Center Square contributor

(The Center Square) – The Newsom administration said Monday Gov. Gavin Newsom has had no adverse reactions to a COVID-19 booster shot in response to speculation about why he wasn’t seen for an extended period starting Oct. 27, the same day he received the booster. Mr. Newsom was scheduled to participate virtually in a U.N. climate conference last week but didn’t, leading reporters to ask where he was. On Oct. 29, in an emailed news release, his office said he was dealing with unspecified family obligations. He hasn’t made a public appearance since. The timing of his booster shot and his last public appearance led to widespread speculation on social media that he had an adverse effect to the shot. State Rep. Kevin Kiley, RRocklin, who ran against Mr. Newsom during this fall’s recall election, won’t speculate as to why he is absent, but he said the absence is “pretty strange.” “It’s pretty strange for the Governor to disappear for 12 days without explanation,”Mr. Kiley, who also has sued the governor over his COVID-19 restrictions, said. “Newsom hasn’t been seen since abruptly cancelling his UN Climate trip. Today, reporters couldn’t get an answer on his whereabouts from the senators in the Scotland ‘delegation.’ Yesterday, Newsom’s wife told those asking questions to ‘get a life’ before quickly deleting the tweet.” In an email to The Center Square, a spokesperson for Mr. Newsom responded: “Last week Governor Newsom worked in the Capitol with staff on urgent issues including COVID-19 vaccines

for kids, boosters, ports, the forthcoming state budget and California’s continued economic recovery. He will have public events this week related to the economy and vaccines.” She emphasized: “No, the Governor did not have any adverse reaction to his booster shot.” She also said Mr. Newsom’s eldest child, who recently turned 12 years old, did get her first COVID-19 shot, “and will soon receive the second dose.” The spokesperson added, “all three Newsom children who are under 12 years of age will also get vaccinated.” Mr. Newsom’s absences from the public eye are not unusual. Last August, his public events were minimal after “a COVID “data glitch” occurred, reportedly causing a backlog of COVID-related data from not being input into the state system correctly. Shortly after, the California Public Health Director resigned. This June, Mr. Newsom also limited public appearances after CapRadio revealed that he “misled the public about wildfire prevention efforts.” Mr. Kiley sued to end California’s state of emergency that has now gone into its 20th month. He also introduced a resolution to end the state of emergency, which has yet to receive a vote in the legislature. He also sent a letter to Mr. Newsom asking him to justify the ongoing state of emergency, to which he has not received a reply. “Governors work for the people, so an unexplained absence is always a matter of public concern,” Mr. Kiley said. “But that’s especially true for a governor who has claimed sole authority to control the lives of millions of people through his own ‘State of Emergency.’”
