Ellis Groves of Carpinteria takes a break after stepping onto the stumps behind her. The activity is part of the fun on the Backcountry, which opened to the general public Monday at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden.

Last-minute thefts of campaign signs were reported as the hours ticked down to the opening of the polls in today’s primary election. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. today. On Monday, Christy Lozano, a candidate for Santa Barbara County superintendent of schools, told the News-Press that 10 of 20 of her campaign signs were stolen from supporters’ yards in Santa Barbara and Goleta. She cited locations such as Winchester Canyon, Patterson Avenue, Alameda Padre Serra, Cathedral Oaks Road and Hollister Avenue. “Signs were stolen from all over the place,” Ms. Lozano said. “These people have no shame. It’s one thing if a sign’s in a public space, but to go into people’s yards,” she said. “They feel like they have to do something to prevent me from winning the election,” Ms. Lozano said. Stealing a campaign sign is a petty theft misdemeanor under California Penal Code. According to Section 490.2, it’s punishable by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year, a fine not exceeding $2,000, or both.

Michelle Cyr gestured excitedly as she stood on a trail on a warm, sunny day and talked about an area she loves: the new Backcountry. The interactive area for children and their families opened to the general public Monday at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden. Ms. Cyr, who’s the garden’s youth and family gardens program manager, told the News-Press that the area allows kids to interact with nature. The area includes garden Executive Director Steve

Windhager’s favorite spot, the Fallen Forest. The forest consists of trees, including pines and oaks, which have fallen in the garden or other places. They’re anchored on a hillside, and kids climb up it by holding onto a rope. Earlier this year, Mr. Windhager explained that kids get “the experience of climbing a tree without having to run the risk of falling 20 feet to the ground. If you fall off these trees, you’ll probably fall four or five feet and land in a nice cushion of 20 inches of mulch, which meets guidelines from the state of California for appropriate play space.” Please see BACKCOUNTRY on A4

(The Center Square) – Gas prices hit another new record to kick off the week Monday, continuing a steady stream of record-breaking days. According to AAA, the national average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline is at $4.87, the highest ever. That’s more than a week of new record highs every day. Just one month ago, the national average price was $4.28, a 59 cent increase in just one month. If that pace continues, the national average will surpass $5 per gallon by the end of the month. California leads the nation with an average price of $6.341.

In Santa Barbara County, the average is $6.278. Indiana has now surpassed $5 per gallon, making it the 10th state to do so. All the other states are well over $4 per gallon and nearing that same $5 per gallon marker. Nine other states are about a dime or less away from topping $5 per gallon. The average price per gallon one year ago was $3.05 per gallon, when prices had already begun to rise. In early March of last year, the national average was $2.77. Diesel gas is also at a record high $5.65. News-Press Associate Editor Matt Smolensky contributed to this report.

Bridge Fire contained SANTA BARBARA — The Bridge Fire is 100% contained. That was the news on Monday. On Sunday night, the Santa Barbara County

Fire Department succeeded in stopping the forward progress of the fire, which burned a little over 8 acres in a valley north of Cathedral Oaks Road and east of State Route 154 in Santa Barbara. Copter 964 made a water drop on a remaining hot spot as firefighters continued to knock down embers, according to a County Fire tweet on Sunday. There were no reports of injuries or damage to structures, but County Fire said the cause of the fire is “deemed suspicious.” Santa Barbara County ordered an evacuation Sunday night, then lifted the order and made it an “evacuation warning.” By midnight Sunday, the evacuation warning ended for the area.

2022 baseball season comes to a close for UCSB No. 20 UCSB Baseball (4414) gave No. 2 Stanford (43-15) all it could handle in Sunday’s elimination game, keeping it a tight race until late innings but ultimately falling to the regional host 8-4. Big West Freshman Pitcher of the Year Ryan Gallagher was nails in his first postseason appearance, tossing five innings against the second-best team in the country and allowing just four runs, one of which scored after he had already taken his seat in the dugout. He did allow 10 hits but issued no free passes and struck out seven in the no decision. He also stranded six Cardinal runners on the bases. Center fielder Nick Vogt continued his postseason success, going 2-for-4 with his second home run of the weekend, two RBI, and two runs. First baseman Kyle Johnson tagged his second homer of the weekend, plating a pair with one swing.

UCSB only saw five hits in the contest but managed to get the most out of them, scoring four runs. The team also drew four walks and two HBPs. Clayton Hall had a solid relief outing, tossing the final two innings of the game and allowing just one earned on two hits while striking out a pair. Stanford got three baserunners aboard in the first two innings including both lead-off hitters, but Gallagher showed his pliability, bending and not breaking, as he got out unscathed. It wasn’t until the bottom of the third that the Gauchos got their first hit of the ball game, but it was a meaningful one as Vogt crushed a two-out, two-run bomb to left field to put the Gauchos up 2-0. The Cardinal answered with a pair of runs in the top of the fourth to tie it, but the damage was limited as Stanford had the bases-loaded with no outs, and Gallagher retired three batters in a row. Stanford took its first lead of the game with a two-out RBI single in

the top of the fifth, but UCSB was quick to answer in the bottom half with some two-out success of its own. Vogt reached on an infield single and the next man up was Johnson, who crushed a ball deep to right field to regain the lead 4-3. Undeterred, the regional hosts regained the lead in the top of the sixth, scoring for the third straight inning. The Cardinal plated a pair on a tough double that popped off the third base bag and found another on a Gaucho error to take a 6-4 lead. A sac-fly in the seventh saw Stanford extend its lead to 7-4 and a run scored on a doubleplay in the eighth made it an 8-4 ballgame. UCSB battled in the bottom of the ninth, taking a number of great at-bats and bringing two runners into scoring position, but couldn’t break through as Stanford held the Gauchos scoreless to advance to the championship round. The loss concludes another standout season for the Gauchos, who continue to grow their

Sheriff, county clerk-recorder-assessor facing election challenges ELECTION

Continued from Page A1 the current superintendent of schools, in a race that arguably has received more attention than any other in today’s election. The reports of thefts of her campaign signs mark the latest in a series of obstacles Ms. Lozano has faced in the election. They included an unsuccessful court challenge to take her name off the ballot. And Ms. Lozano earlier reported that she ran into difficulties when she tried to participate with Dr. Salcido in a League of Women Voters forum. Ultimately the forum was canceled. Ms. Lozano and Dr. Salcido did discuss the issues during a forum last week, organized by the Santa Barbara County Taxpayers Association and Resource Santa Barbara. Ms. Lozano said she thought the forum went well and that both

candidates were able to present their views and disagree with each other. Other races today include Sheriff Bill Brown running for re-election against Sheriff’s Lt. Juan Camarena and County ClerkRecorder-Assessor Joe Holland running for re-election against Elrawd MacLearn. Running unopposed in local races are Laura Capps for the 2nd District seat on the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors, Steve Lavagnino for the 5th District seat on the Board of Supervisors and county district attorney candidate John Savrnoch, who’s currently a deputy district attorney. Current District Attorney Joyce Dudley decided not to seek another term. Also unopposed are county Auditor-Controller Betsy Schaffer and county Treasurer and Tax Collector Harry Hagen in their reelection bids. email: dmason@newspress.com

Ige enacts gun inspection law By MERRILEE GASSER THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) – Hawaii Gov. David Ige is hoping his latest gun law will see a different fortune in the courts than its predecessor. Gov. Ige signed HB 2075, which requires gun owners to submit to a physical, in-person inspection of purchased firearms if they do not have a serial number, are brought to Hawaii from out of state, or are transferred between private individuals. Last August, a court ruled in Yukutake v. Connors that required physical inspection of guns by law enforcement ran afoul of the Second Amendment right to bear firearms. It also shot down a tenday expiration period for permits issued to acquire a gun. The bill states the legislature recognized the ruling in Yukutake v. Connors invalidated its ten-day expiration period for permits to acquire firearms and suspended enforcement of physical gun inspection. However, it wrote: “While the State’s appeal is pending, the law related to the ten-day permit expiration period continues to be in effect as the court stayed its holding, whereas the physical inspection

requirement was not stayed and thus its enforcement is suspended.” The bill said that the legislature “cannot allow for all firearms to be registered without inspection,” despite the court’s ruling that the physical inspection requirement was unconstitutional. “Even if the Yukutake ruling is upheld, Hawai’i’s important interest in protecting public safety justifies the physical inspection of certain narrow categories of firearms at the time of registration,” the bill said. Hawaii is the only state in the country to require in-person inspection and registration of firearms, according to the court ruling. Judge Michael Seabright, who ruled in the Yukutake v. Connors case, wrote the Government of Hawaii brought no concrete evidence to support its position that the requirement was reasonable in the interest of public safety. “The Government wholly fails to demonstrate how the in-person inspection and registration requirement furthers these interests,” the judge wrote. “It merely states that ‘ensuring that the registration information is accurate, ensuring that the firearm complies with Hawaii

law, and confirming the identity of the firearm can be easily accomplished simply by bringing the firearm to the registration for inspection.’ This bald statement is not enough to meet the Government’s burden.” The text for HB 2075 uses the same arguments the judge rejected in his ruling. It states, “the historical tradition of requiring in-person inspection of firearms provides a robust historical basis for Hawai’i’s law. Just as militia officers would inspect (and frequently record) members’ personal weapons to ensure that they comported with militia weaponry requirements.” The judge said the purpose and scope of the colonial-era militia laws were too dissimilar to the State of Hawaii’s requirements. “The purpose of the militia laws was to ensure that the armed forces maintained weapon stockpiles suitable for the nation’s defense and warfare needs,” the judge wrote. He added that the colonialera laws in question only applied to enlisted people in the militia and that there were no laws historically requiring in-person inspection and registration of

McCormick concedes to Dr. Oz in Pennsylvania GOP Senate primary that triggered recount THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – Pennsylvania Republican U.S. Senate candidate David McCormick on Friday conceded his race with Dr. Mehmet Oz, the reality TV star and heart surgeon who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump. The race was too close to call after the May 17 primary, with about 1,000 votes separating the two, and triggered an automatic recount. While the recount is still ongoing, Mr. McCormick said it was clear the race was over and he called Dr.

Oz to concede. “It’s now clear to me with the recount largely complete, that we have a nominee. And today I called Mehmet Oz to congratulate him on his victory,” he told supporters, according to several media outlets. “And I told him what I always said to you, that I will do my part to try to unite Republicans and Pennsylvanians behind his candidacy, behind his nomination for the Senate.” Dr. Oz will face Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman in the November election, barring a recount surprise.

Businesses fear shutdowns may be coming if inflation doesn’t ease By KEVIN BESSLER THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – A new poll shows small businesses fear they will have to shut down within six months if inflation continues. The Alignable Small Business Inflation poll asked 5,268 businesses in May if they were concerned about inflation and over half said they fear they won’t be able to stay open over six months. Illinois was in line with the national average, with 49% of small business owners concerned over inflation-driven shutdowns. Many owners said this is a more difficult time than the pandemic, researcher Chuck Casto said.

“In one of our polls we asked point blank, what has been more damaging for your business, inflation or COVID, and over 60% said inflation,” Mr. Casto said. Restaurants are the most concerned sector of the economy. Of those asked, 72% said they were concerned about shutting down because of inflation this year. That was followed by beauty salons (65%) and gyms (63%). According to the poll, 49% of small business owners said their costs have increased by more than 25%, but only 16% are able to pass those expenses onto customers. The states with the mostworried small business owners included Maryland, Connecticut

and Tennessee. One business owner said fuel costs would be the death of his business. In Illinois, gasoline is averaging $5.40 a gallon, putting a strain on many businesses. Relief doesn’t appear to be coming anytime soon. Laffer Tengler Investments’ Arthur Laffer, Jr. told Fox News inflation will get “higher” and be here a while. “We think that inflation is going to be here higher and longer than we would have thought. But, this is pretty ugly. We have CPI coming out Friday, so we’ll see what it is. But this is definitely putting pressure on the economy. I think these prices are here for a while,” he said.

firearms held by civilians. Hawaii had the lowest death rate attributed to gun violence in 2020, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Gov. Ige’s office said Hawaii has less than 50 deaths attributed to gun violence per year. “In the wake of the tragic mass shootings in Uvalde Texas, Tulsa Oklahoma and in so many other cities across the U.S., and a week after a shooting injured four in Honolulu – it is more important than ever that the State of Hawaii takes action against gun violence,” said Gov. Ige. “Hawaii has one of the lowest rates of gun violence in America, and this new law is key in helping law enforcement keep our communities safe.”

Designed for children, Backcountry also has appeal for all ages

POWER, Alexander

The long and rich life of Alexander Power, known to most as Sandy, ended May 14th in his home outside Solvang, CA. He was 95. Born in Redlands, CA to a New England family, Sandy attended and graduated from both The Webb School about which he spoke fondly throughout his life, and then Stanford University. He was drafted while in college and later served in the Korean War during which he was stationed for two years in Guam. In 1951 he married Heloise Bacon of Pasadena and the couple began their married life in Redlands, CA after returning from Guam. For several years Sandy designed rockets for Lockheed, then joined his childhood friend, Walker Smith, in a commercial real estate development business. In 1973 the Powers moved to Santa Ynez Valley where they raised thoroughbreds. Sandy took pride in being an investor and money manager throughout his life. Possibly most important to Sandy was his social life. He was vibrant, fun, and generous especially when it came to entertaining. At the drop of a hat he would tell a joke or pull out a guitar or ukulele and sing an old cowboy song, a funny folk song from the 1930s, a sea shanty, a Mexican love song. He was devoted to his friends and relatives and loved gathering them together. His social circles included lifelong friends from his southern California sailing days, Rancheros Vistadores, the Los Alamos Society, the boards of Santa Barbara Natural History Museum, Laguna Blanca School, California Thoroughbred Breeders Association and the Santa Ynez Hospital. In Santa Ynez restaurants and businesses he would be greeted warmly by both customers and staff. At his favorite local coffee shop he charmed the baristas who asked what he would like. “Surprise me!” he would reply. Sandy lead a wonderful life accented by a high degree of intellectual curiosity. He dug deeply into heavy books on history, science, and classical music which he took pleasure in discussing. He enjoyed bird watching, travel, sailing and natural history. He was fortunate to spend his life in a landscape and community that nourished him. Sandy is survived by his wife of 71 years, Heloise Power, his daughter Callie Power Kindrish, grandson Julian Kindrish, granddaughter-in-law Khoury Ibrahim, and beloved cat, Orkitty. His many friends and relatives miss him dearly and are grateful for the inspiration and joie de vivre he brought to our lives. Any donations to the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History made in his honor would be welcome.

The trek into the Backcountry begins on this bridge.

BACKCOUNTRY

Continued from Page A1

The Backcountry’s highest point is the Raptor’s perch, which is similar to a tree house. To reach it, you walk over a rope bridge, which the News-Press found is more challenging than it looks, but some kids managed just fine on Monday. Back on the ground, a young Carpinteria girl, Ellis Groves, enjoyed stepping from one stump onto another around a path that zig-zagged a bit. Her mother, Joya Groves, was impressed with what they had seen so far after having been in the backcountry for 15 minutes. “I think it’s great. I think they did a really nice job,” Ms. Groves told the News-Press.

A short while later, the News-Press ran into Ms. Groves and her family again at the Hornets Nest, one of the Backcountry’s structures. This one has a special purpose. It houses children’s books, and Ms. Groves was reading a book to Ellis under the Backcountry’s natural shade on this sunny day. Here, it’s very easy to forget about civilization. The Backcountry is a whole other world, and dogs accompanying their owners seem to like it as much as people. In one area, a little dog, Walter, was interested in a round structure and decided to walk through it. While the garden is primarily designed for kids ages 5-13, it can appeal to anyone who’s a kid at

REVIEW

The appeal of ‘Downton Abbey: A New Era’ Latest film proves to be a treat for longtime fans and new viewers alike

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

‘D

Hugh Bonneville and Elizabeth McGovern portray Robert and Cora, Earl and Countess of Granthan, and Laura Carmichael plays Lady Edith Hexham.

ownton Abbey: A New Era” is an engaging movie for both longtime fans of the franchise and new viewers. Funny and dramatic, the film succeeds because of actors who embrace their aristocratic and working class characters with sincerity and sheer joy. It’s obvious they are all having fun in their roles. The film consists of two wellwritten stories happening at the same time: the family visiting a villa in the south of France, which comes with a mystery, and a company filming a silent movie at the family’s mansion in England. The presence of the two stories, set in the early 1930s, works for a film that made fans laugh like crazy at a recent screening. And director Simon Curtis has done a great job with the pacing and making this narrative flow clearly for all viewers — even for people, like this writer, who aren’t familiar with “Downton Abbey.” You don’t have to be a fan of the TV series or the first “Downton Abbey” movie to enjoy the story. A lot of the credit for that must go to Maggie Smith, who makes her character, Violet Crawley, witty, honest and wise. Her oneliners are fantastic and have prompted a lot of enthusiastic laughter from audiences. The movie begins with Violet telling the Crawley family that a French man once interested in her has died and left her his villa. You can imagine the man’s widow is upset about that, but the man’s

son has decided to be gracious and has invited the Crawleys to visit this big and luxurious country residence in France. Violet decides not to go, but is represented by Robert, Earl of Grantham (Hugh Bonneville); his wife, Cora (Elizabeth McGovern), the Countess of Grantham, and others from the family. Once there, Robert discovers evidence that his mother may have had an affair and his late father may not actually be his biological father. The scandal! Back in England, the servants in the household are enjoying the presence of movie stars as the silent film “The Gambler” is shot at the estate. But the movie’s fate is uncertain because everyone is seeing the “talkies.” The Crawleys, who initially allowed the studio to shoot at their mansion to raise money for much needed repairs, manage to save the day for the movie studio in a plot involving Lady Mary (the talented Michelle Dockery). “Downton Abbey” wrestles with moral questions in a direct way and finds answers, and it’s great to see characters with a strong sense of right and wrong. At the same time, “Downton Abbey” tackles the prejudices of its era and shows an open-mindedness that was ahead of the time in which the story is set. And there’s a small, fun third story in the film about Tom and Lucy Branson (played by Allen Leech and Tuppence Middleton). Details won’t be spoiled here. Much of the appeal of “Downton Abbey” is that it looks at the lives of both the aristocrats and the working class. It’s also intriguing Please see DOWNTON on B2

Weddings make us all feel something

t’s June, school is out, and the wedding season has begun. Thus far, we have been invited to a halfdozen nuptials, and there will be more. Weddings conjure up lots of feelings. Feelings about your own wedding (the one you had or the one you’d like to have), feelings about other people’s weddings (and how good or bad they were), and feelings about your relationship and how it got from there to here. You can’t help it. The second you get the invitation, you will reflect on your own state of satisfaction and your desires — and if there is any romantic pain in your heart, it will be reawakened as well. Such reflection is actually a good thing, even if your relational life is a little shaky. It’s important to examine our love life every now and then. And that may be all there is to it. A quick inventory of what you wanted, what you have, and what you need is enough to make you feel lucky or make you realize that you may need to make some minor adjustments.

Once you arrive at the event, which in itself can be a journey, you can’t help but feel like having fun. It just happens, because everyone else feels like it too. When we are celebrating a couple’s union, it gets us out of our own heads, and we actually feel their love. It’s projected into the room so powerfully that, unless you are really in a bad mood, you can’t avoid picking up some of the vibe. The bride may be beautiful, the groom could be a prince, and the wedding could be held in the grandest of places — all of which are noticed — but it is your own feelings that become your internal focal point. You may say to yourself, “I want this too!,” or you may mentally duck and cover. Either way, a couple’s special day is going to have a visceral effect on you. I was once told never to take a date to a wedding because “it gives them ideas.” I guess it never occurred to the would-be advice giver that someday he might actually like the idea of getting married too. Making the decision to

spend the rest of your life with someone isn’t to be taken lightly. Unfortunately, too many people think, “Well, if it doesn’t work, we can always get a divorce.” If this is in your head, you may not be ready. When you walk down the aisle with the one you love and you make a commitment in front of your friends, your family and a higher power, you will feel the connection. This is what gives us the strength to get through the rough patches and build that wonderful thing called a family (even if it’s just the two of you). Knowing that the person you’ve married has your back, lifts you up when you’re down, and actually thinks you’re amusing, is a most precious gift — one you would never want to take back.

Sea Glass Pop-Ups at maritime museum

SANTA BARBARA — The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum, in cooperation with the Sea Glass and Ocean Arts Festival, is hosting Sea Glass Pop-Ups on July 3 and Aug. 13 on the museum’s patio overlooking the Santa Barbara Harbor. These free events are open to the public from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. The museum is located at 113 Harbor Way, Suite 190. The Santa Barbara Sea Glass & Ocean Arts Festival, which usually occurs each year in September, has been canceled for 2022, although organizers are planning an event Nov. 19 at the Carpinteria Arts Center. But sea glass collectors can now find many of the artists at the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum. Summer Sea Glass Pop-Ups feature handmade, ocean-themed art and authentic sea glass jewelry created by dozens of artists. Some of the proceeds will go to the maritime museum for its free educational programs for students who attend Title I schools and afterschool programs for low-income populations. For more information, go to www. santbarbaraseaglassandoceanartsfestival. com or .instagram.com/ santabarbaraseaglassfestival.

Last week it was in fifth place. “Downton Abbey: A New Era” placed fifth with $2.99 million. “Everything Everywhere All at Once” remained in sixth place with $2.02 million. “Vikram,” an Indian Tamillanguage thriller, opened in

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.

Five candidates running in the June 14 GOP primary for Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District By SAMUEL WONACOTT BALLOTPEDIA VIA THE CENTER SQUARE

Five candidates are running in the June 14 Republican primary for Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District. Incumbent Susie Lee, who was first elected in 2018, is running in the Democratic primary. April Becker, John Kovacs, and Noah Malgeri have led in fundraising and media attention. Ms. Becker runs April Becker & Associates, a law practice, and owns several small businesses with her husband. She listed the economy, border security and crime rates, and education as the top issues facing the state. Ms.

Becker said, “I think Susie Lee doesn’t care about people. I think she is in this job for the wrong reasons. In contrast, I care about the people who I am going to work for. … That has been my motivator for everything I have done my entire life. Going to law school, my pro bono work, my senate and congressional race … it is going to be me fighting for the people I work for.” U.S. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Ca.) and the Nevada Republican Party endorsed Becker. Mr. Kovacs is the president of NVNJ Construction Group, a construction company he founded. He listed inflation, border security and crime, and water scarcity as his top issues. On the issue of

Election 2022: New Jersey’s 7th District draws primary day spotlight By ALAN WOOTEN THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – All 12 of New Jersey’s districts for the U.S. House of Representatives are on the ballot Tuesday when voters go to the polls for primaries. Ten Democrats and two Republicans currently occupy the seats, with the 7th District seat drawing the most attention. Democrat Tom Malinowski is the incumbent and expected to advance to meet the survivor of a Republican race led by Tom Kean Jr., the former state Senate minority leader. mR. Kean is the son of former Gov. Tom Kean Sr. and lost to Mr. Malinowski two years ago. Other GOP candidates are Philip Rizzo, Erik Peterson, John Isemann, Kevin Dorlon, John P. Flora and Sterling Schwab. In campaign finances, through May 18, Mr. Malinowski had receipts of more than $5.1 million with $3.6 million on hand; Mr. Kean had raised $2.2 million with $1.2 million on hand; and Mr. Rizzo had raised $227,947 with $78,631 on hand. In District 8, Democratic Rep. Albio Sires is retiring and a three-candidate primary is led by Rob Menendez, son of U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez. David Ocampo Grajales and Ane Roseborough-Eberhard are also on the Democratic ticket. Marcos Arroyo and writein candidate Ana Rivera are on the GOP side. New Jersey’s U.S. Senate seats are on the ballot in 2024 and 2026.

water scarcity, Mr. Kovacs said, “It’s not as sexy as the election fraud or critical race theory or the Second Amendment, but if this area didn’t have water, it’d be a ghost town.” Mr. Kovacs has said his background running businesses sets him apart from his opponents: “How many other candidates are running multimillion-dollar businesses with collective bargaining agreements and paying into health care for more than 50 employees? None of them. One day I’m an accountant, the next a lawyer, then an engineer… the other candidates have no concept of this stuff. People are going to see this once we start talking about the issues.” In a

(The Center Square) – Struggles for small businesses in New York are evident in a new nationwide study comparing ability to pay rent. For the month of May, 36% – above the national average of 33% – of the Empire State’s small businesses were unable to pay rent either in full or on time. The measure was 24% in April for New York, and 28% across the country. New York was third worst behind

Massachusetts (42%) and Georgia (40%). Alignable, an online network company for small businesses to generate leads, prospects, referrals and relationships, said its survey randomly checked with 5,321 small business owners across the country between May 7-31. Compared to six months ago, 54% in New York are paying more in rent – including 6% paying more than 20% more, and 12% paying between 10% and 20% more. The national average is an increase of 52%. Twenty-nine percent of the more than

5,000 survey respondents said they are fully recovered, meaning matching or exceeding monthly revenues earned before the COVID-19 pandemic began. In the national numbers, industries having the toughest time making rent were restaurants (41%), beauty salons (40%), retailers (40%), travel and lodging (36%), animal hospitals and shelters (34%), and construction (34%). Below the national average were industries for automotives (30%), events (30%), manufacturing (24%) and massage therapists (17%).

Measured by minority ownership, 56% can’t afford rent nationally. It’s 31% for women-owned businesses and 27% for veteran-owned. Alignable earlier produced a Small Business Inflation Study, which showed supply-related expenses, gas prices and elevated labor costs were key factors that “have stymied or even reversed the growth of the small business economy.” The analysis says “38% say they have one month or less of cash on hand to get them through (yet another) rough patch.”

Lawmakers approved a bill that calls for New York City schools, by the start of the 2027-28 school year, to set class sizes at 20 students for kindergarten through third grade, 23 students per class in grades fourth through eighth and 25 per class in high school.

THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) – As the New York State Legislature’s 2022 session was winding down, lawmakers in Albany reached an agreement on New York City public schools that extends the mayor’s authority over them but also calls for smaller class sizes. There had been some differences between legislators and Mayor Eric Adams, with city leaders saying mandates to reduce class sizes would dramatically increase costs. In the end, the legislature approved a package that expands the city’s Panel for Education Policy from 15 members to 23. The mayor would be able to appoint 13 members. Lawmakers also approved a bill that calls for New York City schools, by the start of the 202728 school year, to set class sizes at 20 students for kindergarten through third grade, 23 students per class in grades

Malgeri said, “I think my big picture appreciation of things like China, insight as a patent attorney and decorated Army officer living in Europe for five years and the fact that I invented something and built a business around it have equipped me with the necessary perspective. I’ve also lived and worked in Washington, D.C., before. I know what it’s like there.” Clark Bossert and Albert Maxwell Goldberg are also running in the race.

NY lawmakers extend mayor’s authority over schools, mandate smaller classes

fourth through eighth and 25 per class in high school. “Smaller classes are key to providing a sound basic education to our students,” said Assemblymember Manny De Los Santos, D-Manhattan, who sponsored the class-size bill. “Based on my decade of experience as a school social worker, I know that capping the size of classes in city schools will be transformative in improving academic performance for students who need it most.” State Sen. John Liu, D-Queens, who chairs the Senate Committee on New York City Education, tweeted Thursday the legislative package will include $1.6

billion in additional annual funding for the city’s schools. “This is a huge victory for NYC school kids that will provide students with a sound basic education… This is a funded mandate!” he said. While mandating the smaller class sizes, lawmakers did not give Adams as much time as he wanted to continue overseeing the city’s public schools. He and Gov. Kathy Hochul pushed for extending the mayor’s authority for four more years. The legislature gave him two instead. In a statement issued Friday, Mayor Adams expressed a cautious hope about moving forward.

“While there is more work to do to deliver on the priorities New Yorkers are asking for, we are optimistic that there is a way forward on key elements, including ensuring we achieve the shared goal of smaller class sizes without forcing the city into a fiscal crisis and impacting programs for our most vulnerable students,” the mayor said. The bills now head to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s desk. Thursday was supposed to be the final day of the session, and while the Senate wrapped up its business on time, the Assembly worked into Friday before concluding.
