Carpool lanes open on Highway 101 Officials celebrate completion of various improvements in Carpinteria By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Friday was a momentous day for commuters who travel — often at a snail’s pace — on Highway 101 between Ventura and Santa Barbara. As the sun rose, a new day began for the morning commute, with the opening of new carpool lanes in both directions in the Carpinteria area. Later that morning, officials marked the opening of the peak-period, high-occupancy lanes and other freeway-related improvements with a ceremony on the northbound on-ramp at

Casitas Pass Road. The ceremony celebrated the first completed segment of the $700 million Highway 101: Carpinteria project. Caltrans District 5 Director Tim Gubbins spoke at the ceremony, which was attended by everyone from local transit riders to U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal and state Sen. Monique Limón, both D-Santa Barbara; Carpinteria Mayor Wade Nomura; Santa Barbara Mayor Randy Rowse; Supervisor Das Williams; and Joan Hartmann, chair of the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors. The new carpool lanes are between Bailard Avenue and the southbound Highway 101 onramp at Santa Claus Lane. The new lanes

tie into recently added third lanes to the south, and Caltrans said they will connect to upcoming projects to the north. In addition, there are now new freeway on- and off-ramps at Santa Monica Road, Carpinteria Avenue and Reynolds Avenue. Six new sound walls were built to reduce freeway noise for neighbors. And new bridges were constructed over Franklin and Santa Monica creeks. On local streets, intersections were improved at Santa Monica Road and Via Real, Reynolds and Carpinteria avenues, and Bailard Avenue and the freeway ramps. Please see CARPOOL on a4

The Rotary Club of Santa Barbara awarded $30,200 in grants to seven nonprofits at a luncheon Friday at the First Presbyterian Church of Santa Barbara. Connie Ragen Green, chair of the club’s Grants Committee, presented the awards and grant checks to representatives of the nonprofits. Grants ranged from $2,700 to $5,500. “We had representatives from six groups in attendance, and one representative Zoomed in virtually,” Ms. Green told the News-Press. “Everyone got to talk about what they are doing with the grant. We had about 30 people attend the ceremony,”

This year the Rotary Club of Santa Barbara made an effort to include recipients who serve a broad range of clients. They include seniors, youth and underserved segments of the population. The Rotary motto is “Service Above Self.” This year, grants went to The Center for Successful Aging, the Harvard University Partnership School, the Wilderness Youth Project, Santa Barbara Meals on Wheels, Police Activities League, Storyteller Children’s Center and Mayan Families. The Center for Successful Aging received $5,000, and its representatives at the luncheon were Allison Marcillac and Gary Linker.

activities such as camping. “They work with about 1,000 students about 60 to 65 hours a year, making a bigger impact and growing relationships between the people involved.” said Ms. Green. Santa Barbara Meals on Wheels received $2,700 and was represented by Jim Byrne and Kay Castagnola. “Several Rotary members drive a route for the program,” Ms. Green said. “For many recipients of the program, that is the only interaction they will have with someone on that day. The program delivers about 225 meals a day.” Police Activities League received $5,000 and was represented by Judie Lugo.

The Harvard University Partnership School received $4,000. Brianna Lane, the head of the foundation for the school, attended the luncheon and received the grant. “She explained that they are a PTA, but not really in that they don’t expect parents to donate money,” Ms. Green said. “These are very low-income families. The school doesn’t receive as much as other local schools. They will be using the grant money for field trips. The school district doesn’t fund field trips. The grant will partially fund the field trip fund for the coming year.” The Wilderness Youth Project received $4,000 and was represented by Dan Fontaine and Chandler McLane.

(The Center Square) – A California state senator introduced legislation that would require gun owners to obtain liability insurance for the “negligent or accidental use” of their firearms, according to a press release from her office. State Sen. Nancy Skinner, DBerkeley, introduced SB 505 in hopes that California would become the first state in the country with this kind of law in place. “Guns kill more people than cars. Yet gun owners are not required to carry liability insurance like car owners must,” Sen. Skinner said in a press release Thursday. “Why should taxpayers, survivors, families, employers, and communities bear the $280 billion annual cost of gun violence? It’s time for gun owners to shoulder their fair share.” Sen. Skinner’s office describes the gun insurance required by SB 505 as “similar to car insurance.” Her office says that under the bill, gun owners would: Be held civilly liable for property damage, injury or death resulting from the use of their firearms Have to obtain liability insurance that covers losses or damages resulting from negligent or accidental use of their firearm, including property, damage, injury or death. Have to obtain proof of gun insurance, keep that proof with their firearm and produce it when asked by a peace officer during the course of a lawful detainment. Ms. Skinner’s office said she filed the bill in response to recent shootings in Uvalde, Tex., Buffalo, NY, and Tulsa, Ok. Although the law would be first in the nation at the state level, if passed, it’s not a new idea. San Jose became the first city in California to pass a law requiring gun owners to obtain liability insurance earlier this year. The ordinance was promptly challenged by a city resident and the National Association for Gun Rights. Additionally, Sen. Skinner’s office says that Assemblyman Phil Ting, DSan Francisco, proposed a similar bill in 2013, but it didn’t have the support to become law.

California homeownership among lowest in the country By TOM JOYCE THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) – The homeownership rate has remained generally steady in California over the years, but the rate is still among the lowest in the country. The homeownership rate has taken a slight dip from 1960 to 2020 in California, decreasing from 58% to 55.3%, which is the opposite of the nationwide trend. Nationally, homeownership has increased from 62% to 67%, according to the Public Policy Institute of California. As a result, California ranked second-last in the percentage of families who own homes in their respective states. California had a slightly higher homeownership rate than New York (54.1%). Meanwhile, West Virginia (73.9%) and Maine (72.7%) had the highest homeownership rates nationwide. The Public Policy Institute of California

pointed out what it sees as a few issues leading to lower-than-average homeownership rates in California: high prices, limited housing stock, and population growth. It points out that the median value of an owner-occupied house in California was 2.5 times more expensive than the rest of the country, citing data from the American Community Survey. Back in 1960, the state’s homes were only 1.3 times more expensive than the national average. “Homeownership has long been a central feature of the American dream. It is the leading source of wealth for most families, and over the long run provides families with more stable and lower housing costs compared to renting,” the Public Policy Institute of California writes. “Yet – primarily because of the state’s high housing prices— homeownership is out of the reach of many Californians. Racial gaps in homeownership are large and persistent. Fast-rising home

prices threaten to make homeownership further out of reach for low- and middleincome Californians.” PPIC also notes that California ranks 48th out of 50 states in housing units per capita. It also says that the state has added 3.2 times more people than housing units in the past decade. Additionally, a PPIC Statewide Survey found that about two-thirds of Californians say housing affordability is a big problem in the state. Nearly half (46%) say that housing costs may cause them to seriously consider moving to another state. “Interstate migration trends show that many do leave the state because of housing costs,” PPIC wrote. “From 2010 to 2021, about 500,000 people moved from California to other states to find cheaper housing or to own rather than rent, compared to 140,000 who moved to California for those same reasons, based on Current Population Surveys.”

‘Conq Classic’ golf tournament By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Cabrillo High School Athletic Booster Club’s 15th annual Ed Knowles “Conq Classic” golf tournament will return today at the Mission Golf Club in Vandenberg Village. The CHS Athletic Booster Club is dedicated to supporting all of Cabrillo’s athletic teams and sports. More than 130 golfers will participate in the scramble-style golf tournament, which is the largest fundraising event of the year and generates over half of the club’s annual budget. With the support of alumni, the community and businesses, the club hopes the “Conq Classic” will raise $20,000 for the next school year. These funds go directly to purchase team uniforms, athletic equipment, upgrades to athletic facilities and travel to tournaments. “We have some incredible items that were generously donated by our sponsors this year,” said Wendy Knowles, fundraising chairwoman. “We have a basket of 50 bottles of boutique and well-known wines, massages, gift certificates for dining, Spirit wear, and if we have a lucky holein-one golfer, Sunset Auto Center has donated a $25,000 prize package! The people of Lompoc have so much love for our community, we could not do this without their support.

THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – The number of teachers in the U.S. has increased from 2013 to 2020 while the number of students has decreased, according to data from the National Education Association, the nation’s largest public-school union. While total enrollment has dropped 1.4% over those seven years, there has been a 2.3% increase in the number of public-school teachers. Still, nationwide claims of a teacher shortage persist. In May 2022, the Birmingham News reported a state school board member said Alabama wasn’t doing enough to solve the teacher shortage. However, there has been a slight increase in the number of Alabama-based teachers while enrollment has dropped 2.8% from 2013 to 2020. New York has seen a 4.1% drop in student enrollment in public schools, accompanied by a 6.5% increase in the number of teachers from 2013 to 2020, according to NEA figures. However, the New York State United Teachers Union said it was in the midst of a teacher shortage in November 2019. That follows the national trend. There were 1.4% fewer students in U.S. public schools from 2013 to 2020, while the number of teachers increased by 2.3%. Public school teachers increased from 3.12 million in 2013 to 3.19 million in 2021, while

enrollment dropped from 49.5 million to 48.8 million over that span, according to data from the NEA, which has been making claims of teacher shortages as far back as 2016. In 2016, the NEA published a story with the headline: “Report: Teacher Shortage Crisis Can Be Averted by Keeping Educators in the Profession.” In February 2022, an NEA news release headline stated, “Massive staff shortages in schools leading to educator burnout; alarming number of educators indicating they plan to leave profession.” The NEA did not respond to a request for comment. Although there are more teachers, there are areas of teaching where there are shortages. The U.S. Department of Education has tracked critical shortage areas as far back as 1990. The U.S. Department of Education data shows that areas such as foreign language and special education have been historically short of teachers. Teacher union contracts generally don’t recognize the difficulty of a specific teaching position when considering compensation. Some contracts do. For example, in the Philadelphia Public School District, the union contract does have a salary schedule separate from regular teachers for special education. For example, a first-year teacher with a bachelor’s degree would have a first-year salary of $48,490, but if that same teacher went into special education, the first-year pay would increase to $49,382.

Record diesel prices may impact other goods By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – Record high diesel fuel prices are yet another driver of rising costs for Americans, and those costs could get even higher this year. Diesel gas prices hit another record high Thursday at $5.79 per gallon, according to AAA. That is a spike from $5.57 a month ago and much higher than the average of $3.22 the same time last year. Diesel gas prices have continued to hit new records this week even as regular gas has leveled out, at least the last couple of days. Those higher prices are one of several factors raising costs for businesses, costs that are often passed down to consumers. President Joe “Biden’s attack on the fossil fuel industry can be felt across every sector of the economy because everything needs energy,” said Daniel Turner, executive director of the energy workers advocacy group, Power the Future. “So it’s not just gas prices. It is also consumer goods, food, and all services. The diesel prices are particularly alarming because of what machinery uses diesel: agriculture, trucks, railroad. All cargo shipping is diesel powered. So the price of all food that is planted, irrigated, fertilized, harvested, processed, packaged, and transported is being made more expensive at every step of the process. All those costs are passed on to consumers.”

Food prices have soared in recent months. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported a 10.1% increase in the food index in the previous twelve months, “the first increase of 10 percent or more since the period ending March 1981.” Food prices have been hit hard by Russian President Valdimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine since Ukraine is a major exporter for food and chemicals used in fertilizer, but several other factors have played a part, including inflation. BLS’ producer price index rose 10.8% in the past 12 months, and consumer prices are rising at the fastest pace in four decades. Many of the food production costs that are hitting farmers now will not be felt by consumers until the crops are harvested and sent to market later on. “We have not yet begun to see the cost of Biden’s war on energy, on food prices because we have not yet harvested,” Mr. Turner said. “It’s only late spring, and we are still eating last year’s wheat. Wait until late summer and early fall and we will see painfully high prices across the board, and we are woefully unprepared. “Making energy expensive makes life expensive, and as we spend more money to fill up our cars and buy basic groceries, we will be spending less on entertainment, travel, dining, shopping, etc,” he added. Diesel, though, is used to transport all kinds of goods, not just food. Right now, businesses are paying more than ever to

transport via diesel trucks while the market also deals with a truck driver shortage. Those higher costs are one more supply chain issue facing the U.S. economy right now as prices on all kinds of goods rise. Experts say higher energy costs will only make that worse if they remain elevated for an extended period of time. “By the economics textbook, higher costs work themselves up through the supply side of the market and raise prices,” said Roger Cryan, chief economist at the American Farm Bureau Federation, as previously reported by The Center Square. “The prices are especially high right now because of the sudden lack of access to Black Sea grain, but if these energy prices stay high in the long run then they will entirely work their way into food prices.” President Biden has taken heavy criticism for his energy policies from detractors who point to his policies that held back oil leases and pipeline development. President Biden has tried to deflect those critiques, pointing to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which disrupted global oil markets. “Biden has got a case that there is a Russia shock, but the other side has also got a case that if the United States were producing more, the Russia shock wouldn’t be such a big deal,” said Desmond Lachman, an economist at the American Enterprise Institute.

Rotary club aims to help food insecure children ROTARY

Continued from Page A1 was impacted by the PAL The PALwas her first after-school activity growing up, and she found it to be an eye-opening experience. She used to be harassed for being involved because the program was associated with the police, but she learned to see the positive side. Storyteller Children’s Center received $4,000 and was represented by Adrienne De Guevera. The program works with preschoolers and toddlers providing breakfast, lunch and a snack to families in need. Children in the program go on to be better prepared when they start school. The program provides meals and spends educational time with the children specifically targeting “food insecure” children.

Mayan Families in Guatemala received $5,500 and was represented by Erin Mooney and Jackie Yoc. The Rotary’s work with Mayan Families continues over several years and is the club’s continuing International Project. Many of their members have spent time in Guatemala working hands-on with a variety of projects to enhance the life experience of the people. The Rotary Club stresses leadership and efforts to help others around the world. Matt Nehmer is the 2021-22 president, and Jim Armstrong is the foundation chair. “Without strong leadership, you end up with a group of people that meet every week, but it doesn’t have the impact without someone leading,” Ms. Green said. “Their leadership means today (the grants luncheon) was possible. It’s no accident. It’s a lot of hard work by a whole lot of people.” email: kzehnder@newspress.com

Continued from Page A1 Arguably the most dramatic changes are the new carpool lanes, which motorists on freeways typically find move faster than other lanes. That could spell some muchneeded relief during the slowmoving traffic on weekday mornings and weekend afternoons. “By opening new peakperiod carpool lanes, we are encouraging people to rideshare and use transit during the most heavily congested periods,” Mr. Gubbins said. “The added safety improvements are visible in the improved sight lines for drivers, easier access on and off the freeway with updated ramps, and improved water flow in our creeks with new bridges.” Marjorie Kirn, executive director of the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments, also praised the improvements. “Today, our community will experience the direct benefit of new mobility, safety and local connection projects that make up the Highway 101: Carpinteria to Santa Barbara project,” Ms. Kirn said. “We are grateful to the California Transportation Commission for recognizing the importance of this project and the commitment of our community to have more transportation choices to relieve decades long congestion. “Santa Barbara County’s local transportation sales tax, Measure A, continues to be a valuable funding resource that has enabled SBCAG to leverage

Banking on community support Unity Shoppe receives $20,000 grant from Union Bank By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Vince Caballero, Union Bank regional manager for Santa Barbara, left, presents a $20,000 grant to Unity Shoppe, represented by Exeuctive Director Tom Reed.

nion Bank has partnered with Unity Shoppe to reinforce an impenetrable community of support where all local residents facing an unforeseen crisis can count on free essential programs and services, preventing welfare dependence and homelessness. Funding from this grant will be used to maintain programs and services provided through the Family Services Center at 1401 Chapala St. Santa Barbara, where referred clients shop for their individual needs with dignity, respect and choice. “Union Bank is pleased to continue our 10-plus year relationship with Unity Shoppe and the important work they do to provide food and other essentials to those in need throughout the Santa Barbara community,” said Vince Caballero, Union Bank regional manager for Santa Barbara. “Giving back to the communities we serve is part of our DNA and something that solidifies our role as a community bank.” In collaboration with donors, supporters and volunteers, Unity Shoppe is dedicated to providing under-resourced residents with

free vital resources that enhance human dignity and encourage selfsufficiency. “It is so encouraging to have the support of Vince and all the friends at Union Bank,” said Tom Reed, Unity Shoppe executive director. “Unity is uniquely positioned to help thousands of less fortunate folks in Santa Barbara County, but we cannot do it without the support of the community,” Mr. Reed said. “Union Bank is stepping up in a meaningful way, and in these uncertain times, they are making a huge difference,” Unity works with more than 300 referring agencies to provide food and other essentials to around 15,000 people annually. In a nonCOVID year, anywhere from 1,700 to 2,000 volunteers work alongside the Unity staff. Together they help operate Unity’s distinct programs out of two locations in Santa Barbara: • At 1401 Chapala St., the Client Services Center distributes food,

clothing and personal care items to under-resourced families and individuals throughout Santa Barbara County. Seasonal shops such as “back-to-school” in the fall and Santa’s Toy Shoppe during the holidays provide hope and cheer during the most financially pressing times of the year. Chapala Street is also home to the “Work, Learn and Earn” volunteer training program, which gives youth an opportunity to help their community, earn school credit and develop entry-level job skills. • At 1207-09 State St., home to Unity Gift and Thrift Shoppes, is the public interface with unique gifts and furniture at below retail pricing. The buildings also serve as the operational base for the Senior Resource Center, where volunteers create and assemble custom-care packages for several thousand homebound seniors and congregate care facilities. Jobs Smart provides resume guidance, interview coaching and professional attire for job seekers. Long-term disaster services are poised and ready to act in the event of an emergency. The store front is open to the public, and all proceeds directly benefit Unity Shoppe programs. email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

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.

ARIES — You love everyone on this planet, Aries, and this isn’t the day to come bothering you with all the little details of everyday life. You’re in orbit, on a voyage to the stars, and this great feeling of freedom is pushing you to demand more justice for all. You might even find the perfect situation today to use your wonderful diplomatic skills. TAURUS — Sometimes you make mistakes because of your lack of objectivity, Taurus. You have a certain tendency to wish that other people were just like you. Yet this won’t be the case today. You’re using your good sense and reason, or rather your reason is doing the talking for you. GEMINI — You were once a creature of reason, Gemini. For you, everything had an explanation, a reason to exist, and a place in the world. You never missed a chance to share your viewpoint. Then all of a sudden, silence. Perhaps you needed to get some perspective, not necessarily on the things you know, but on how you express that knowledge. CANCER — How about changing roles today, Cancer? It’s true that you aren’t one for idle chat. You prefer taking action rather than talking about grandiose ideas that never go anywhere. Yet today you may actually feel like discussing things in depth. The stars’ alignments are bringing out this other side of you, so take advantage of the energy. LEO — Scientists are sometimes pretty strange. They can be so engrossed in reality that they seem almost absent from it, as if they float above the Earth. That’s a bit how you feel about things, too, Leo. You like to explain the world in your own special way, the way you see it and not necessarily the way it really is. VIRGO — As the real Virgo that you are, you aren’t in the habit of talking without saying anything constructive. Sometimes people accuse you of having nothing to say. When you’re just being patient, they say that you’re ignorant. When you’re demonstrating your tolerance,

they say you’re indifferent. LIBRA — The people around you would really appreciate it if you’d slow down and relax a little. You always seem to be running around, so much so, in fact, that you’ve been neglecting the people close to you, especially your family. They really need you. They have issues to discuss with you. SCORPIO — You did the right thing to put off those important decisions and not give in to pressure, Scorpio. You know well that sometimes it’s important to relax and rest for the busy times ahead. Today you’ll feel refreshed and ready to tackle the world. You see your problems from a different point of view, and you’re much more optimistic about things. SAGITTARIUS — You have a generous nature, Sagittarius. You know how to give and devote yourself to solving the problems others that confide in you. This will still be true today, but not entirely in the same way. In fact, it wouldn’t be wise for people to bother you with their problems if they really aren’t all that important. It’s high time for you to take care of yourself for a while. CAPRICORN — It’s always like this at first with you, Capricorn. You know something is happening but have no idea what. It’s as if electricity flows through you. You’re practically vibrating with emotion. You can feel other people’s emotions, too. Begin by listening to your heart and feeling the sensation in your body. AQUARIUS — Are you sure that other people wouldn’t like you to be in another space than where you are right now, Aquarius, or even be a different person than the one you always thought you were? These questions are beginning to bother you. Devote some time to thinking about them. PISCES — People will understand and appreciate your desire to stand out from the crowd today, Pisces. This isn’t a sign of arrogance on your part. It’s just that you’re particularly perceptive right now and people need your good advice. Since you’re ready to step into the spotlight and shine like the stars that are giving you all this wonderful energy,
