Biden signs order promoting abortion access By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – President Joe Biden signed an executive order Friday in response to the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, sending the matter of abortion rights back to states. “What we’re witnessing is a

giant step backwards in much of our country,” President Biden said in his remarks announcing the order Friday. The White House said the order will coordinate “the implementation of Federal efforts to protect reproductive rights and Please see ORDER on A4

U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., joined Sen. Elizabeth Warren, DMass., Friday in announcing that two data brokers have committed to permanently stop selling the location data of visitors to abortion clinics. SafeGraph and Placer.ai made the commitment in response to a request by the senators. The data brokers’ commitment follows a May letter that Sen. Padilla signed with his Senate colleagues criticizing the companies for collecting and selling the cell phone-based location data of people who visit abortion clinics. “In the aftermath of the Supreme Court overturning of Roe v. Wade and the subsequent nationwide assault on abortion rights, protecting the privacy of those seeking abortion care is more important than ever,” Sen. Padilla said in a news release. “SafeGraph and Placer.ai’s promise to end the sale of location data of those visiting abortion clinics is a meaningful first step. We must continue to safeguard consumer privacy by enshrining these fundamental protections into law.” “Two large data brokers have committed to stop selling the location data of people who visit abortion clinics. This is a good start,” Sen. Warren said in the news release. “But with Roe v. Wade dead and states across the country seeking to criminalize essential health care, we can’t rely on the goodwill of Big Tech to protect Americans’ data and safety. “That’s why I’m calling on the United States Congress to pass

my Health and Location Data Protection Act to ban brokers from selling location and health data and establish serious privacy protections for consumers,” Sen. Warren said. In their responses to the senators’ letter, the two companies provided detailed answers about their data collection practices and answered Sen. Padilla’s call to permanently stop selling the location data of people who visit abortion clinics. Safegraph said it is now impossible to access any information about visits to family planning centers from its platform. Placer.ai said it has committed permanently to disabling user access to data about visitors to abortion clinics and “any additional sensitive locations that raise similar concerns — including other reproductive health providers that may not have been identified in the company’s prior reviews.” In May, Sen. Padilla and other lawmakers sent a letter calling on Google to limit tracking of location data following Republican efforts to criminalize abortion. In response, on July 1, Google announced that it plans to quickly delete location history for people going to abortion clinics and other medical sites. Sen. Padilla is a co-sponsor of the Women’s Health Protection Act, a bill that would guarantee access and the right to provide abortion services in the United States. It was an effort to codify Roe v. Wade and passed in the House, but failed to get the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster in the Senate. email: kzehner@newspress.com

Vegetation fire in Buellton BUELLTON — A car’s catalytic converter failure led to a two- to three-acre in the area of Highway 101 and State Route 1 near Buellton.

Construction work creates evening noise in Goleta By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Old Town Goleta residents were surprised to hear noisy road work from 9 to 11:30 p.m. Wednesday. The sound came from work being performed on Hollister Avenue between Orange and Pine avenues by Crown Engineering, a subcontractor for Crown Castle. The company was working on installing an underground conduit that will feed existing

vaults near their recently installed wireless small cell facility, according to the city of Goleta. An encroachment permit was issued for this work, and a contracted city inspector from Flowers & Associates was on the site, monitoring the work and traffic control throughout the night. This encroachment permit was subject to Resolution No. 15-46, which requires that work on this portion of Hollister Avenue be performed between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. due to the heavy traffic volumes on this street and to reduce impacts to the adjacent

businesses, according to Kelly Hoover, community relations manager for the city of Goleta. “The inspector informed me that notification was provided to the adjacent businesses, and work began near Pine Avenue first to further reduce the impacts to the businesses that were still open,” Ms. Hoover told the News-Press. While businesses line Hollister Avenue, homes are in the nearby blocks. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

Thousands more eligible for Medi-Cal under increased asset limit rules By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE

these programs no longer have to choose between having additional savings or having health insurance through Medi-Cal,” Ms. Huyenh-Cho said. “You no longer have to spend down your assets to get below that $2,000 limit for a single person.” Prior to this asset increase, many older adults were facing a “senior cliff,” which occurred when someone would qualify for expansion Medi-Cal programs up until the age of 65 and would then be moved to programs that imposed an asset test. Ms. Huyenh-Cho said that this posed a problem for older adults who, even if they went just $1 over the asset limit, could no longer qualify for Medi-Cal. Thus, many were forced to choose between saving for future economic uncertainty or having health insurance through Medi-Cal. “It really did hinder people’s ability to save,” Ms. HuyenhCho said. “It put older adults at risk of financial instability or

homelessness if a financial crisis would happen.” The increase in asset limits is the first of a two-phase change coming to Non-MAGI Medi-Cal programs. Come January 1, 2024, California will eliminate the asset limit for the programs, resulting in 14,400 more people qualifying for Medi-Cal, DHCS estimates. The second phase is subject to federal approval, but DHCS says they are confident they will receive full federal approval for 2024.

(The Center Square) – Thousands of Californians who previously did not qualify are now eligible for certain Medi-Cal programs under increased asset limits that went into effect this month. The increase raised the asset limit for individuals from $2,000 to $130,000, making it possible for many Californians who are older adults or living with disabilities to qualify for Non-Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) Medi-Cal and keep a larger share of their assets. The asset limit increases based on household size, with the limit increasing from $195,000 for a household of two people to $260,000 for a household of three people. With the increase that took effect July 1, the Department of Health Care Services told The Center Square it estimates more than 22,000 additional residents

now qualify for Medi-Cal. As of November 2021, more than 14.4 million Californians were eligible for Medi-Cal, according to DHCS data. Non-MAGI Medi-Cal uses different rules to determine eligibility than MAGI Medi-Cal, which bases eligibility on income and tax rules. Non-MAGI MediCal counts property, household income and size to determine if someone is qualified. The program typically provides health care for older adults, people with disabilities and those living in nursing facilities, according to the Department of Health Care Services. The increased asset limit means older adults and people with disabilities will no longer be deterred from keeping a savings to qualify for Medi-Cal, Tiffany Huyenh-Cho, a senior staff attorney with Justice in Aging, told The Center Square. “Older adults and people with disabilities that are served by

By BETHANY BLANKLEY THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) – California Gov. Gavin Newsom inviting Floridians to move to the “free state” of California has now been made into a parody by a Florida PAC. The PAC, The Vote The R project, created a new ad, which depicts Gov. Newsom speaking and a voiceover stating, “I urge you to join us in California where we’ll take the money you earn and give it to people who don’t work. “Visit San Francisco, where you can walk through human feces. If you’re lucky, you might step on a syringe. “Check out Los Angeles, where gas is so expensive your kids only need to skip a meal, or two, or 10, to afford it.” The ad isn’t authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee. It was created in response to a gubernatorial reelection campaign ad Gov. Newsom launched in Florida. Instead of attacking his Republican gubernatorial opponent in November in California, Gov. Newsom attacked Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, telling Floridians, “Freedom is under attack in your state.” Media pundits and other political observers have speculated that Gov. Newsom, a Democrat, and Gov. DeSantis, a Republican, could be presidential candidates for their respective parties in 2024, depending on what Democratic President Joe Biden and former Republican President Donald Trump decide. “I urge all of you living in Florida to join the fight or join us in California,” Gov. Newsom said. “Where we still believe in freedom. Freedom of speech. Freedom to choose. Freedom from hate. And the freedom to love. Don’t let them take your freedom.” The ad likely was referring to Florida’s recent bans on teaching about sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade, its restrictions on abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy and other policy issues. In response, the Vote the R’s ad states, “California: where freedom means lockdowns for you, while I go to the places you can’t afford,” referring to Gov. Newsom. Trey Radel, the PAC’s founder who lives in Florida, told The Center Square, “Gavin Newsom is the worst kind of liberal. He’s a hypocrite who locks down his state, while he fine-dines. He advocates for and implements

insanely expensive gas prices, hurting the middle class and poor, while he flies private. He forces you to mask up, while he hangs with his buddies at the Super Bowl, eating, drinking, and even snapping pictures – unmasked – like an entitled pre-teen.” Gov. Newsom apologized in November 2020 after receiving criticism for eating at the French Laundry, an expensive Napa Valley restaurant, while ordering Californians to remain on lockdown. He also received criticism for sending his children to private schools where they attended in-person instruction while he banned public schools from providing in-person instruction for nearly two years. While Gov. Newsom attacked Gov. DeSantis in the Florida ad, Mr. Radel argues Gov. DeSantis’ “smart, sensible policies … have made Florida an economic powerhouse. People are literally fleeing blue states like New York and California and coming here.” Former state legislator in California, Chuck DeVore, who’s now the Chief National Initiatives Officer at the Texas Public Policy Foundation, told The Center Square that Gov. Newsom’s “attack is laughable.” Mr. Devore has written extensively about why he and others left California and has opined on the movement, “Don’t California My Texas,” referring to those who don’t want California policies transforming Texas. “According to Census data, California has lost a net of around 100,000 residents to other states, with the largest share moving to Texas – Florida too,” Mr. DeVore said. “Texans are understandably concerned, but other than a segment of high-tech employees, polls suggest the majority of Californians moving to Texas are conservative. ‘Don’t California my Texas’ is really more of a warning to state and local elected officials not to copy California’s high-tax, heavy regulatory burden policies.”

Gov. Newsom’s campaign did not immediately return a request for comment. Florida continues to rival Texas as a top destination for businesses and residents exiting higher-tax states. Many of those businesses and residents are relocating from California, citing high taxes and expansive restrictions as their reasons for leaving. California lost more residents to migration in recorded U.S. history during Gov. Newsom’s term and also lost a congressional seat. By contrast, Florida gained a congressional seat and surpassed New York to become the thirdmost populous state. Compared to California having some of the highest taxes and highest unemployment in the U.S., Florida continues to outpace the nation in employment growth and Florida tourism is continuing a record streak. Gov. DeSantis has been touting Florida as the freest state in the U.S., signing a state budget with record tax breaks and fighting against the Biden administration over vaccine mandates, illegal immigration and other policies. Florida also just recorded its highest surplus in state history of $21.8 billion. While Florida ranks third in education outcomes according to U.S. News’ “Education Rankings,” California ranks 20th. Florida’s new curriculum standards have also been touted as a model to follow in new national standards recently proposed by the National Association of Scholars’ Civics Alliance. California’s curriculum standards emphasizing race have been put on hold after widespread pushback from parents and concerned citizens. Florida also ranks second best for businesses by Chief Executive Magazine compared to California’s last place ranking. Florida is the second-freest state, according to a Cato Institute ranking, compared to California’s 48th ranking.

Padilla calls for extension of Temporary Protected Status for displaced Venezuelans By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., Friday joined Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., along with 20 of their Senate colleagues. in calling on the Biden administration to continue to protect displaced Venezuelans by extending and re-designating Venezuela for Temporary Protected Status. In a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, the senators underscored President Nicolás Maduro regime’s crimes against humanity. They also cited the uptick in armed violence in

Venezuela, growing humanitarian needs and the unprecedented displacement crisis. “On March 8, 2021, the Biden administration designated Venezuela for TPS for a period of 18 months,” the letter reads. “Since the designation over a year ago, threats to civilians by armed actors, the complete erosion of the rule of law, and the systemic collapse of vital infrastructure have forced nearly half a million additional people to flee the country, bringing the total number of Venezuelan refugees to over six million. “The Maduro regime has continued perpetuating crimes against humanity, turned

a blind eye to the forced recruitment of children, generated an increase in refugees and displaced people, exacerbated food insecurity, and limited access to water, medical care, and humanitarian assistance. … We ask that you acknowledge the deteriorating conditions in Venezuela since the March 8, 2021 designation and take the necessary steps to extend and redesignate Venezuela for TPS,” reads the letter. The senators urged the administration to continue to prioritize the welfare of Venezuelans already residing in the United States and elsewhere. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

Biden has called for exception to filibuster to codify Roe v. Wade ORDER

Continued from Page A1 access to health care.” Specifically, Health and Human Services will compile a report on how to “protect access to medication abortion” and launch a public education campaign promoting abortion access. The Biden administration is also gathering lawyers and legal groups “to encourage robust legal representation of patients, providers, and third parties lawfully seeking or offering reproductive health care services throughout the country.” “HHS will take additional actions to expand access to the full range of reproductive health services, including family planning services and providers, such as access to emergency contraception and long-acting reversible contraception like intrauterine devices (IUDs),” the White House said in a statement. “In all fifty states and the District of Columbia, the Affordable Care Act guarantees coverage of women’s preventive

services, including free birth control and contraceptive counseling, for individuals and covered dependents. The Secretary of HHS has already directed the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to take every legally available step to ensure patient access to family planning care and to protect family planning providers.” The executive order comes after President Biden called on Congress in late June to remove the filibuster to “codify” Roe v. Wade into law after the Supreme Court overturned it. “The most important thing to be clear about is I believe we have to codify Roe v. Wade in the law,” President Biden said at the time . “And the way to do that is to make sure that Congress votes to do that, and if the filibuster gets in the way, it’s like voting rights, it should be … we provide an exception for this … require an exception to the filibuster for this action.” President Biden made a similar request of Congress regarding voting regulations legislation, but both have gone unanswered.

Continued from Page A1 scene. He is the owner and manager of Uncorked Kitchen in Santa Barbara and is known for his previous role as food and restaurant manager for San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito and the Canary Hotel in Santa Barbara. The Nook was originally opened by Mr. Schulz. “When we purchased the restaurant, he was ready to retire,” Mr. Amador told the News-Press. “I think he was looking for somebody who might

not change it too much. We came in and saw what a stable business he created: quality food, quality service and a great reputation. “It was an easy thing for us,” Mr. Amador said. “We have one restaurant right now, and we saw this as an easy addition without having to put a lot of effort into it. We added in some specials that we change up weekly. It was our intention to kind of keep things as they were and keep the formula that Norbert had created. “We were a little nervous purchasing the restaurant right during COVID, not knowing

what the next progression was going to be,” Mr. Amador said. “But we were pleasantly surprised to see it take off and stay strong throughout this last year.” The Nook is connected to a repurposed warehouse with a winery, brewery and a taproom. The Nook is the building’s food element. “The idea was to create a nicer, but casual, elevated bar food program. The kitchen is built out of two shipping containers,” Mr. Amador said. Some of the signature dishes include the spicy fried chicken sandwich and lobster mac and

cheese. Some of the signature burgers include The Nook Burger; Topa Burger and Lama Burger. The Topa Burger and Lama Burger are named respectively after a brewery and, as mentioned previously, the tap room that contains The Nook. The Lama Burger, by the way, includes black angus beef (chuck patty), large roasted Anaheim chile stuffed with mozzarella cheese, beer braised onions, candied bacon strips, house and barbecue sauce, tomato, and romaine, all on a brioche bun. Sounds like a recipe for success. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

And Charles Brennan will be happy to answer it in his talk about the study of ocean and shoreline geography, its characteristics and its importance when he speaks at the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum. “The History and Importance of Hydrography” begins at 7 p.m. July 21. There will also be a prelecture reception for museum members only from 6:15 to 6:45 p.m. “If you’ve ever sailed in the Santa Barbara Channel or elsewhere and referred to a chart to identify your location and information about the seafloor, depth, underwater hazards, etc., then you have been the beneficiary of hydrographic studies,” said Mr. Brennan, who has been a surveyor and hydrographer for 50 years. His extensive career has given him a unique perspective and wide-ranging experience in the various facets of the field. He has overseen trans-oceanic hydrographic surveys for the

and adjoining coastal areas. Hydrographic surveyors study these bodies of water to see what the ‘floor’ looks like. “Surveyors pay particular attention to acquiring precise locations of shallow areas, obstructions and aids to navigation that warn mariners. They also record tide or water level measurements to provide a vertical reference … for water depths. Surveys also determine seafloor material (i.e. sand, mud, rock), which is important for anchoring, dredging, structure construction, pipeline and cable routing and fish habitat.” Mr. Brennan’s worked with Offshore Navigation Inc. in New Orleans as a surveyor for worldwide seismic survey operations and assisted in trans-oceanic cable route surveys. For Wimpol Ltd., in the U.K., Mr. Brennan oversaw transoceanic hydrographic surveys for the installation of submarine fiber-optic communication cables, the R.V.

The “Jupiter’s Claim’’ set, which can only be seen on the Studio Tour at Universal Studios Hollywood, marks the first time that a Studio Tour attraction has opened on the day and date with a movie release.

Universal Studios Hollywood introduces ‘Jupiter’s Claim’ By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The original “Jupiter’s Claim” set from Jordan Peele’s expansive new horror epic, ”Nope,” will be featured exclusively at Universal Studios Hollywood as a new attraction on the world-famous Studio Tour beginning July 22, in tandem with the theatrical release of the new summer event film from Universal Pictures and Mr. Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions. “Jupiter’s Claim,” set in Southern California’s Santa Clarita Valley, is a family-fun theme park predicated on the white-washed history and aesthetics of the California Gold Rush. Owned and operated with evangelical pride by former child star Ricky “Jupe” Park, “Jupiter’s Claim” becomes a pivotal location as the characters seek to investigate mysterious, unexplained phenomena, leading them toward increasing danger and terrifying consequences. The impressive and elaborate “Jupiter’s Claim’’ set was created by production designer Ruth DeJong, then carefully disassembled post-production and transported to Universal Studios Hollywood where it was

Written, directed and produced by Mr. Peele, “Nope” reunites the filmmaker with Oscar winner Daniel Kaluuya (“Get Out,” “Judas” and the “Black Messiah”), who is joined by Keke Palmer (“Hustlers,” “Alice”) and Oscar nominee Steven Yeun (“Minari,” “Okja”) as residents in a lonely gulch of inland California who bear witness to an uncanny and chilling discovery. The Studio Tour is renowned for taking guests behind-thescenes of an authentic movie and television production studio. With the exciting addition of the “Jupiter’s Claim” set from “Nope,” coupled with the progressive roll out of electric Studio Tour trams, a summer of fun is just beginning at Universal Studios Hollywood. email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

The annual Polo Training Center Santa Barbara benefit golf tournament will take place Aug. 22 at the Montecito Club, 920 Summit Road in Montecito. The tournament begins at noon with registration beginning at 1 a.m. Dinner will follow at 5 p.m. Guests can purchase an individual player ticket for $500 or foursome for $1,800 for the tournament, which will include a box lunch, green fees, cart and an evening reception from 5 to 7 p.m. with live music on the picturesque lawn overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Reception-only tickets are also available for $150. The Polo Training Center Santa Barbara is a nonprofit organization with a mission to make polo accessible to Santa Barbara youth

who could not otherwise afford it and offer them the chance to play at a highly competitive interscholastic and collegiate level. PTCSB encourages the growth of polo as a whole by operating and supporting programs for players at all levels. The organization supports the Santa Barbara Polo Academy and Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club as they welcome new players to the sport through lessons, Pony Club, Intercollegiate/Interscholastic programs, Coaching League and an arena league. Aside from the annual golf tournament and polo charity dinners, the PTCSB also hosts children’s polo tournaments at various local locations during the summer, supports the Polo Academy, hosts clinics and helps care for older polo ponies that are donated to the Polo Academy. Funds will support the

Interscholastic Polo Program, the Polo Academy, and the Intercollegiate women’s polo programs at Westmont College and UCSB. Donations will provide scholarships for students who may not otherwise have access to play polo at the interscholastic and collegiate level on the Westmont and UCSB teams and will also subsidize expenses for lessons, horses, facilities, equipment and the Santa Barbara Polo Pony Club. Broadening youth access to polo provides kids with college sponsorships, rigorous training, responsibility, sportsmanship and team building, among other mental/emotional/physical benefits.

Those on the tour will have the opportunity to learn about noted Southern California architects Julia Morgan, George Washington Smith, Lutah Maria Riggs, Reginald Johnson, James Osborne Craig and Mary Craig. Sunday’s Domingo Tour will leave from the Central Library entrance courtyard on Anapamu Street. The tour will focus on the historic art and architecture of downtown Santa Barbara as it was reborn after the 1925 earthquake. Featured architects include Myron Hunt, Joseph Plunkett and Kem Weber. Attendees will view murals,

public art, hidden courtyards and fountains while learning about the histories of the Arlington and Granada theaters and other notable buildings. A $10 per person donation is suggested for those wishing to attend, who are asked not to bring strollers, very young children or pets.

discovered; if that does not give one a reason to keep working, I do not know what will. I am still having fun while doing it, and I hope the presentation I will give at the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum will provide some of that same enjoyment of exploration.”

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.

Your natural charm will take you any place you want to go today, so feel free to use it at will. Accentuate the positive and make sure you’re walking on the sunny side of the street. TAURUS — Put your aggressions away and laugh a little today, Taurus. Transfer your intensity from a hard, caustic energy to a more lighthearted and fun-loving one. You’ll find that this type of attitude will take you far. Little things may crop up that disrupt your daily routine, but you’ll find that a warm smile is all you need to defuse the bomb. GEMINI — It’s a terrific day for you, Gemini, one in which you’ll find that your jovial approach to every situation is just what the doctor ordered. Spend time with children and enjoy their magical world. Spread your love and affection to the people around you. Make sure that the corners of people’s mouths are turning up instead of down. CANCER — Take time out from your work today and relax a little, Cancer. Let your romantic nature have some fun and don’t feel guilty about not being as serious as you think you should be. The winner of the day is the one who can smile the most, so enter this contest with the intent of coming out on top. The rewards will last a long time. LEO — You might find that others are adopting a bit of a “me first” attitude that doesn’t quite sit right with you, Leo. You may need to knock on their door, wake them up, and say, “Hey, what about everybody else?” Try not to whine as you deliver this message. A desperate-sounding attitude will get you nowhere. VIRGO — Try to have a positive, optimistic outlook today, Virgo. Adopt an attitude of gratitude and look to see the beauty in everything around you. This is a day to appreciate what you’ve got, especially the people who love you. Compliment others and let them know how much they mean to you.

TRIBUTE

CBP seizes more than 1,000 lbs of meth in New Mexico

James Caan made it look so easy By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

He will forever be known for playing Sonny Coreleone in “The Godfather” (1972). But James Caan was equally talented when he played an elf’s father in “The Elf” (2003) or Billy Rose, the husband to Broadway star Fanny Brice (Barbra Streisand) in “Funny Lady” (1975). Whatever his role, comedic or dramatic, Mr. Caan slipped into his characters effortlessly with a naturalness that fans loved. He seemed to easily become whoever he was playing. And certainly Mr. Caan, who never stopped acting, will be missed. Mr. Caan died Wednesday, and his family announced his death in Los Angeles the next day on his Twitter account. He was 82. “It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of Jimmy on the evening of July 6,” the family wrote in its tweet. “The

family appreciates the outpouring of love and heartfelt condolences and asks that you continue to respect their privacy during this difficult time.” In her tweet with a black-and-white photo of herself and Mr. Caan, Ms. Streisand posted, “I’m so sorry to hear about Jimmy. He was so talented.” Director and actor Rob Reiner said he was sorry to hear about Mr. Caan’s death. “I loved working with him,” Mr. Reiner posted in a tweet. Mr. Caan, who was born in The Bronx, left Hollywood and the world with a wealth of unforgettable characters. Among them was Brian Piccolo, the Chicago Bears running back who faces cancer, in the 1971 “Brian’s Song,” based on a true story. The story of Brian and his friendship with teammate Gale Sayers touched viewers’ hearts, and it showed the range of Mr. Caan’s acting talent.

U.S. economy adds 372,000 jobs in June, more than had been expected By CASEY HARPER

According to BLS, there are 5.9 million unemployed Americans seeking work and 11.3 million available jobs, a near record gap between workers and job openings.

THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – The U.S. economy added 372,000 jobs last month, more than expected, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. The unemployment rate hovered at 3.6% for the fourth consecutive month. “Notable job gains occurred in professional and business services, leisure and hospitality, and health care,” BLS said. According to BLS, there are 5.9 million unemployed Americans seeking work and 11.3 million available jobs, a near record gap between workers and job openings.

“Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rate for Asians increased to 3.0 percent in June,” BLS said. “The jobless rates for adult men (3.3 percent), adult women (3.3 percent), teenagers (11.0 percent), Whites (3.3 percent), Blacks (5.8 percent), and Hispanics (4.3 percent) showed little or no change over the month. Among the unemployed, both

the number of permanent job losers, at 1.3 million in June, and the number of persons on temporary layoff, at 827,000, changed little over the month. These measures are little different from their values in February 2020.” The economy also saw a drop in parttime workers. “The number of persons employed

part time for economic reasons declined by 707,000 to 3.6 million in June and is below its February 2020 level of 4.4 million,” BLS said. “These individuals, who would have preferred full-time employment, were working part time because their hours had been reduced or they were unable to find full-time jobs.”

Gina M. Meyers (805) 898-4250

(The Center Square) – Federal agents along the U.S. border with Mexico recently seized more than 1,000 pounds of methamphetamine, officials said Thursday. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents working at New Mexico’s Santa Teresa border checkpoint made the seizure on June 30 after a person driving a dump trailer truck tried to enter the U.S. from Mexico. CBP discovered more than 208 bundles of methamphetamine totaling 1,037 inside after pulling the truck over for additional inspection. “Excellent job by our CBP officers in intercepting this enormous quantity of a very dangerous drug,” acting Santa Teresa Port Director John Hawkins said in a statement. The seizure comes as drug activity along the southern border saw an increase since the pandemic began, according to law enforcement officials. A pair of Cibola County officers conducted 21 seizures last year that added up to more than $6 million in drugs confiscated, KOAT News reported. “We really saw an uptick when COVID hit because a lot of the border check stations and different things like that, they weren’t open,” Sheriff Tony Mace told KOAT. “So you’ve seen a lot more narcotics. You saw the cartel taking advantage of those open areas and trying to move more product through.” In March, border patrol officials told the Carlsbad Current-Argus that the amount of fentanyl seized in 2022 is on pace to surpass last year’s total of 293 kilograms between New Mexico and Texas. “To perspective during the last fiscal year CBP officers working in the El Paso Field Office area of operations seized 8,798 pounds of methamphetamine combined,” Mr. Hawkins said.
