Highway 101 work nears completion in Carpinteria By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

KENNETH SONG/NEWS-PRESS

D“When I go to schools, I see a lot of kids engaged and learning and socializing and connecting,” Santa Barbara Unified Superintendent Hilda Maldonado said, praising the district’s employees and students for their resiliency during the pandemic.

The 2-mile portion of Highway 101 that goes through Carpinteria is almost finished. And the carpool lanes are expected to open soon. A progress report about the highway was presented Monday evening to the Carpinteria City Council. Kristin Ayers of the public relations firm Ayers and Associates provided a presentation on the progress of Highway 101 from Carpinteria to Santa Barbara. This project is a partnership between Caltrans and Santa Barbara Association of Governments. “The Highway 101 Carpinteria to Santa Barbara project is a significant part of the overall ‘Lane and Train’ solution to traffic congestion, and we are doing that with the project by adding a new carpool lane, peak period carpool lane, in each direction. … They are actually already built out there. We are just finishing up right now, and we also are improving freeway operations and safety,” said Ms. Ayers during the regular meeting of the city council on Monday.

Superintendent praises district’s ‘resilience to stay strong’ By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

In a word, the state of the Santa Barbara Unified School District is resilient, according to Superintendent Hilda Maldonado. Students have adjusted to fluctuating schedules and learning environments. Educators have shown up to their classrooms, tangible and virtual, despite a pandemic, despite experiencing great personal loss, despite being exhausted. And Dr. Maldonado remains inspired by what she’s seeing across SBUSD. “When I go to schools, I see a lot of kids engaged and learning and socializing and connecting,” Superintendent Maldonado said. “The thing I’m most proud of is the resilience that has been displayed by everyone who works for Santa Barbara Unified — the resilience to stay strong, to stay connected, to stay together to be honest and have courageous conversations when we don’t agree.” Dr. Maldonado is preparing to give a “State

of our Schools” update to the Santa Barbara community at 8 a.m. May 19. The presentation will be given at the Godric Grove at Elings Park and recorded for the community to view shortly thereafter. And the superintendent will be joined by some very special guests to help give the SBUSD update: students. “Who better than to hear from what the state of our schools is than the students themselves,” Dr. Maldonado said. Dr. Maldonado took the helm of SBUSD in July 2020, just as COVID-19 was wreaking havoc across the country — and it didn’t spare schools. “It was a series of steps and learning that we went through” during the pandemic, Dr. Maldonado previously told the News-Press, recalling how SBUSD traversed ever-changing metrics, created socially distant classrooms and navigated staffing issues. “It’s been layers of learning that happened, but we knew that the best place for students was going to be in person.”

As she reflects on how the district has weathered the pandemic in preparation for her update, it is axiomatic how the myriad changes COVID brought have impacted SBUSD employees’ mental health. “It’s weighed on our mental health, it’s weighed on our emotions, to keep giving, but I know we do it because people who work in education do it for kids,” she said. “We don’t pay a lot. We don’t have promises of fame and fortune. These are very caring individuals that just do it for the love of students. I want the community to really help me in thanking people for that.” Looking ahead, Dr. Maldonado said the district should “focus back on creating the new education system.” “We’ve learned a lot about how we can pivot as a school system when we went from being in-person to a long time in distance learning with the use of technology — which made some things easier, but we need to scale back that Please see SCHOOLS on A4

Board of Supervisors rescinds COVID-19 rule By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Some Santa Barbara County employees who are not vaccinated against COVID-19 will no longer have to undergo weekly testing beginning next week. The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors approved a measure suspending the County of Santa Barbara Employee COVID-19 Vaccination and Testing Policy requiring unvaccinated employees to

undergo weekly PCR or antigen testing and providing proof of each result. However, employees will still need to be tested if otherwise mandated by state public health officer orders or Cal/ OSHA’s COVID-19 Prevention Emergency Temporary Standards requirements. The suspension is effective May 16. The board approved the suspension at its weekly meeting Tuesday morning in a 4-1 vote.

66833 00050

Supervisor Das Williams was the lone vote against the measure. He suggested loosening the testing requirement to every other week as an alternative to rescinding the obligation altogether. “As much as all of us would like to leave COVID behind, we have not eradicated the disease, and I respectfully disagree with the idea that we should rescind our vaccination or testing policy,” Supervisor Williams said. “County workers are emergency workers,

and we will get another wave — hopefully, it will be smaller — there will be people who get sick from that wave; there will likely people who die from that wave, and if our policy with our workforce can help diminish the numbers, then we should do so.” As of Monday, there were still 510 infectious cases in Santa Barbara County.

“We are almost finished. That is exciting for the city of Carpinteria,” Ms. Ayers told KEYT-TV. “So over the next month you are going to see a new carpool lane open in Carpinteria on the northbound side, and in the middle of June we will be announcing when the southbound carpool lane will be opening as well. We are going to have a big completion event because we are almost finished in Carpinteria,” “We have three segments of the project under construction right now from Carpinteria to Summerland. But you can see on the map we have two more segments of the project after that in Montecito and Santa Barbara,” said Ms. Ayers. “We have really exciting news about applying for funding at a state and federal level this year to finish the Santa Barbara and Montecito segments, and we will get those ready for construction,” Mr. Luna told KEYT. Ms. Ayers explained the process for how the freeway is rebuilt: “We started in 2021. We take it all the way down and we regrade, and we fix some of those profiles to help Please see HIGHWAY on A2

(The Center Square) — Gasoline prices set a record Tuesday as President Joe Biden blamed inflation on COVID-19 and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. According to the American Automobile Association, the cost at the pump for both regular gasoline and diesel fuel reached their highest recorded average price Tuesday morning. The national average of a regular gallon of gasoline was $4.374, up five cents from Monday, and $5.55 for diesel, up one cent from Monday. The nation’s 10 largest weekly increases, AAA reports, were in Michigan (+26 cents), New Jersey (+25 cents), Connecticut (+19 cents), Kentucky (+19 cents), Indiana (+19 cents), Rhode Island (+19 cents), Illinois (+18 cents), Washington, D.C. (+18 cents), Alabama (+18 cents) and Tennessee (+18 cents). The nation’s 10 most expensive markets continue to be in California ($5.82), Hawaii ($5.28), and Nevada ($5.11), followed by Washington ($4.83), Oregon ($4.81), Alaska ($4.73), Washington, D.C. ($4.69), Arizona ($4.66), Illinois ($4.59) and New York ($4.51). In Santa Barbara County, the average gas price was $5.87 a gallon. Elsewhere, the average was $5.905 in Ventura County, $5.89 in Los Angeles County and $6.042 in San Luis Obispo County. For the week ending March 14,

weekly retail average gasoline prices across all grades was $4.41 a gallon, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported, the highest on record. As of Tuesday morning, the domestic benchmark, WTI Crude, was $102.74 a barrel and the international benchmark, Brent Crude, was $105.44 a barrel. Gas prices also are reaching record highs at a time of the year when they traditionally go up because refiners switch to producing more expensive summer blends. As travel picks up over the summer and demand for gasoline increases, gas prices are only expected to go up even further. Gas prices have been rising since President Biden first came into office and began implementing a range of restrictions on domestic production. Within months of doing so, well before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, U.S. gas prices reached a seven-year high. President Biden on Tuesday acknowledged rising costs were hurting Americans but didn’t offer many details on what he would do about it. “Families all across America are hurting,” he said. “They’re frustrated. I don’t blame them. I really don’t blame them. There’s a lot we have to do.” The president also blamed the pandemic and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Please see GAS PRICES on A2

Santa Barbara City Council OKs pavement contract By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Santa Barbara City Council approved a $2.1 million contract Tuesday with American Asphalt South Inc. for a pavement maintenance project. The fiscal year 2022A Pavement Maintenance Project includes micro-milling and crack and slurry sealing of city streets and the Chase Palm Park parking lot at the waterfront — some of the highest priority paving maintenance needs throughout Santa Barbara, according to a staff report. American Asphalt, from Riverside, had the lowest of four bids under consideration. The council unanimously approved the contract award at its

weekly meeting. Additionally, the city council authorized the Public Works Department to execute contracts with Flowers & Associates Inc. for construction support services for the 2022A Pavement Maintenance Project and design services for fiscal year 2023. The maintenance work is expected to occur from June to November. Jim Dewey, the streets operations and infrastructure manager, said the goal is to get “timely information” to the public, particularly through a web service, on projects. In all, Santa Barbara has 145 miles of streets to maintain, according to Mr. Dewey, as well as 268 miles of sides and related infrastructures, such as gutters

and curbs. In the past three years, the city has been able to maintain (through treatments or asphalt overlays) 314 city blocks and replaced or added nearly 186,000 square feet of sidewalk, according to a presentation given to the council Tuesday. Mr. Dewey said Santa Barbara’s own pavement maintenance crew is handling two-thirds of the overall pavement program — something that has a cost advantage over hiring contractor services. Contractors are still needed, however, for “more complicated projects,” such as slurry sealing and other services needing civil engineering, he said.

“Americans are waking up to the highest gas prices ever as President Biden’s energy failures continue to mount,” energy nonprofit Power The Future said in a statement. “The latest skyrocketing gas prices come less than two months from the previous record for regular gasoline while diesel has set a new record on a regular basis since last week.” “There is no doubt the White House is hoping that Americans simply become numb to yet another disastrous result of their energy failures, but the pain at the pump is too real and everyone intrinsically understands that Joe Biden is to blame,” the organization’s founder and executive director, Daniel Turner, said.

Wicks discusses spending $100B for affordable housing, homelessness By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER

(The Center Square) — As California faces an ongoing homelessness and housing crisis, lawmakers are set to consider a measure this week that would allocate billions of dollars annually in consistent funding to address housing issues. More than 161,000 individuals experience homelessness on any given day in California – more than any other state in the country. Additionally, the state is facing an affordable housing crisis with more than one in four renter households paying at least 50% of their income toward rent, according to a report from the California Budget & Policy Center. To address this, a new constitutional amendment proposed by Assemblymember Buffy Wicks, D-Oakland, would instate a 10year funding commitment in the California Constitution starting in the 2024-2025 fiscal year. Every year, 5% of the state’s estimated General Fund revenue would be spent on the issue, which Ms. Wicks estimates would be about $10 billion a year. Assemblymember Wicks estimated 75% of the funds going toward housing production and 25% going toward rental assistance. The specifics on what organizations and agencies would be eligible for the funding and how they would receive it is still under discussion. The bill would have the Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency develop a 10year investment strategy that includes these details and accountability metrics. The measure is conditionally opposed by the California Association of Realtors, who asks the amendment be changed to ban certain rentals in single-family parcels and wants a portion of the funds directed to down payment assistance programs. To amend the California Constitution, twothirds of members in both chambers of the Legislature must approve. Then the measure must be approved by the state’s voters. Assemblymember Wicks talked with The Center Square about this proposal in a phone interview last week. The bill is scheduled to be heard in the Assembly Committee on Housing and Community Development Wednesday. The interview has been edited for brevity. TCS: Let’s start by talking about where this money would go and what it would do. Ms. Wicks: “Let me back up and do a little context as well … Legislators did a housing tour last fall, and we went all over the state … trying to get a good sense of the housing crisis and what exists. And one thing that came up over and over and over again was the fact that we have no ongoing funding for affordable housing in this state…

Happy Nurses Week

Assemblymember Buffy Wicks, D-Oakland, has proposed a constitutional amendment that would instate a 10-year funding commitment to addressing affordable housing.

“We came up with the idea of doing a 10year fund that would really jumpstart a significant amount of production of housing as well as provide services — rental assistance in particular — that we think could really jumpstart and address swiftly and quickly and aggressively and seismically the issue of homelessness in California. Because our projections are it would be about $10 billion a year, which would be about $100 billion.” One hundred billion dollars over 10 years. Is that the biggest investment in homelessness the state would ever have? “It’s a big investment, but I think the crisis warrants it. That’s where we’re at in terms of the problem, so we need to match that with the appropriate amount of resources.” The bill right now says it would take 5% from the general fund starting in the 202425 fiscal year for this allocation. What made you settle on 5%? Where did that value come from? “We basically went to homelessness advocates and providers and affordable housing folks who specialized in this space and said, ‘What do you think we need to solve the problem?’ … Working backward from there in terms of what we need to solve the problem. That’s where we came up with that

percent using the budget numbers that we have now.” The governor signed a $12 billion funding package last year to address homelessness. How would you defend your proposal for an ongoing investment to individuals who may be skeptical of putting more taxpayer money into addressing homelessness? “This is a decades and decades-long problem that we have basically just started to confront recently … So you have decades of us not addressing the problem, and you also have decades of us as a state really making it difficult to build housing. “And so I think we are in a perfect storm of a problem, where the sort of neglect of the issue combined with the challenges we’ve had to actually build more housing has led to the problem that we’re in. So while those recent investments feel great, it’s the tip of the iceberg. “We need to continue to invest in this problem as a society if we want to see it fixed. That’s just the reality of where we’re at with the problem, and I view it as a moral imperative that we, as a state, take action.” Madison Hirneisen covers California for The Center Square.

Nevada’s COVID declaration to end May 20 By BRETT DAVIS THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER

(The Center Square) — Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak will end his COVID-19 state of emergency on May 20. Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee, however, has given no indication when he will stop governing under a pandemicrelated emergency proclamation he issued more than two years ago. “Emergency orders gave flexibility for the State to respond to challenges as they arose,” a Friday statement from the Nevada Office of the Governor read. “A number of measures — including portions of Emergency Directive 11, which waived certain licensing requirements to allow the state to bring additional health care workers into hospitals, and allow certain doctors, nurses, EMTs, and medical students to go to work under proper supervision to care for COVID-19 patients — are still in place, and the state is working with the appropriate partners as the emergency order ends.” Nevada’s emergency declaration was first announced on March 12, 2020, when Gov. Sisolak ordered “non-essential” businesses to close.

care, trade, and logistics – the new fund will be geared toward sustainability experts and public health workers. The fund, Gov. Newsom’s office said, will pay for things not typically covered through public funding streams. These include housing, food, and “capacitybuilding funding” for local programs. “We’re building a workforce of the future to create a cleaner, healthier, and more prosperous California,” Mr. Newsom said in a statement. “Public-private partnerships like these are critical to achieving our shared goals as a state – an all-hands-ondeck approach to provide workers

Meanwhile, in Washington a technical state of emergency is in place until further notice. On Feb. 29, 2020, Gov. Inslee declared a statewide emergency in response to the spread of the virus via the Emergency Powers Act of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 43.06.220. Under the state of emergency, he issued scores of additional proclamations ranging from shelter-in-place orders to school closures to a moratorium on evictions to a vaccine mandate. “What’s left of Washington’s order primarily helps make medical resources more readily available to fight COVID, addresses labor shortages in health care, and relieves some of the stress on our supply chain,” explained Mike Faulk, Gov. Inslee’s press secretary, in an email to The Center Square. Washington’s eviction moratorium has since expired, students have returned to the classroom, and most mask mandates have been lifted. “Two-thirds of the proclamations associated with this order have already been rescinded, but the governor will continue to appropriately use the statutes available to us in Washington state to handle the pandemic’s ongoing impacts,” Mr. Faulk said.

with the training and education needed for these new jobs as we create a more sustainable and resilient future for all Californians.” Gov. Newsom has proposed more than $500 million to expand the programs. His office stresses that the new program will focus on equity as it trains workers. “At a time of broad-based income inequality and growing climate threats, climate resilience and economic inclusion are two sides of the same coin,” said Ana Bertha Gutierrez, senior director at JFF. Seed funding for the new program comes from the James B. Irvine Foundation and Lumina Foundation. Gov. Newsom’s office expects JFF to launch later this summer.

Concerns about technology use among children — from excessive screen time to access to harmful content — sparked a recent grassroots movement among Santa Barbara parents. The coalition of parents, called TechWise SB, has asked the district to remove access to YouTube on elementary school campuses, keep younger students’ iPads in the classroom instead of allowing them to be taken home, and provide parents more training and information about how to monitor a child’s use of an iPad or similar device. Services provided by the school district have also changed over the years, Dr. Maldonado noted. Educators are now focused on learning initiatives as well as emotional and nutritional needs and more. “I am looking forward to us getting back to that way of connecting holistically to each other as adults but also to children, and then doing it with the mindset that public education is an incredible driver of change in our society — particularly for those of us who grew up in poverty and are growing up in poverty,” Superintendent Maldonado said. “We know it opens doors; it opens opportunities.” “It’s not lost on me that I still need to improve academics,” she continued. “I still need to improve literacy rates, mathematics, and look at all the ways we now know our children learn and access our materials.” And then there are the racial incidents that have rocked the district of late.

After leaving the Navy, he worked in electrical supply sales and eventually became a real estate broker. He founded two businesses in 1988, Alpine Realty and the Mt. Shasta Ranch Bed & Breakfast. He often could be found catering to and chatting with his guests while working his other career of helping his real estate clientele. In 1992 he was joined in business by his son William Larsen and enjoyed many illustrious years in the business until he retired mid-2021. Amongst other things, Bill loved being in the outdoors & ﬁshing. He often could be found later in life walking around Lake Siskiyou or the many trails in the area with his wife Mary and his companion, German shorthaired pointer, Daisy Mae. He was preceded in death by his parents, Stanley and Wilhelmina Larsen and ﬁrst wife Terry LaFontaine. He is survived by his loving wife Mary Larsen of 46 years, his son William Larsen (wife Victoria) and 4 grandchildren Ashley, Tanner, Summer and Shaeley, daughters Tammy Talbot (husband Rupert) and Susanne Tacoma, as well as his three stepchildren, daughters Janna McConnel (husband Doug) and 3 grandchildren Charity, Kirsty and Feliz, and Joni VanWieren (husband Randy Froelich), and 2 grandchildren Jessica and Jacob and stepson Jeff VanWieren & granddaughters Jenny Rebecca and Vanessa as well as many great-grandchildren. Bill also leaves behind his brother, Stanley Larsen and sister, Georgia Martin both of Santa Barbara along with his many nieces and nephews. His family, friends & community remembers him as a wonderful man who was kind, generous and loving. He will be greatly missed but leaves behind many loved ones who have wonderful memories of the wise & gentle soul he was. A celebration of life will take place at a later date.

district employees, community members and some school board members — discussed hiring a consultant who could conduct a racial climate assessment of the schools and district. (“Antiblackness” is a term that is used to describe actions, words or behaviors that dehumanize or marginalize black people.) Dr. Maldonado said the process of finding an outside organization to conduct the assessment is

ongoing. The group is also discussing current policies across the district and in specific schools about how to handle racial incidents that arise before the assessment is concluded. “I’m very proud that we are taking on a conversation that is very difficult around race issues in our community and in our schools,” Dr. Maldonado said. “This district has always been

really courageous about taking on these types of issues and that makes me really proud.” To be sure, there is much to address within SBUSD schools in the coming months and years. But still, Dr. Maldonado remains inspired by the resiliency of the district — staff, educators and students alike.

Senate passes Supreme Court security upgrade as protests heat up By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE SENIOR REPORTER

(The Center Square) — The U.S. Senate passed a bill Tuesday to increase security for Supreme Court justices as protests at their homes have grown heated in light of the potential overturning of Roe v. Wade. That bill heads to the House for consideration after passing the Senate with unanimous consent.“Threats to the physical safety of Supreme Court justices and their families are disgraceful, and attempts to intimidate and influence the independence of our judiciary cannot be tolerated,” said U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, who helped lead the move for more security. “I’m glad the Senate quickly approved

this measure to extend Supreme Court police protection to family members, and the House must take up and pass it immediately.” Sen. Cornyn’s office said the bill “would allow the Supreme Court of the United States Police to provide the families of Supreme Court justices with around-theclock security protection.” The protests began after a leaked draft of a Supreme Court ruling included language that would overturn Roe v. Wade, removing the federal right to abortion and allowing individual states to decide for themselves how to handle the issue. Supporters of the expected decision have rallied outside the Supreme Court to demonstrate in favor of overturning Roe v. Wade. Protesters of the potential

ruling also have met outside the court, but have also been raucous in the residential areas where justices appointed by Republican presidents live. The overturning of Roe v. Wade would be a historic ruling, and news that it may be overturned has been met with celebration from pro-life supporters and dismay by pro-choice supporters. “Upholding the rule of law (and) maintaining the faith of the people require that the court allow Roe to remain the law of the land,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said after the draft ruling leaked. “If the court chooses to terminate Roe, Democrats will not relent in fighting back against the dire threat posed to women’s health, safety (and) well-being.” For pro-lifers, the ruling is long

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody

(The Center Square) — Tuesday is the first National Fentanyl Awareness Day. Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody took a moment to sound the alarm, warning Americans: “one pill can kill.” “The shocking increase in the number of counterfeit pills laced with fentanyl should concern everyone, especially President (Joe) Biden, who continues to ignore federal immigration laws — paving the way for these dangerous drugs to flood into our country,” Attorney General Moody said. “Nobody should use illicit drugs. Not only are they illegal, but they can be lethal. “On this first-ever National Fentanyl Awareness Day, I am demanding that Biden take action and reminding Floridians that just one laced pill can kill.” Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that’s 50 to 100 times more deadly than morphine, is the leading cause of death for adults in the U.S. between the ages of 18 and 45. More people in this age group are dying from fentanyl than from suicide, vehicle accidents, gun violence and the coronavirus, national data show. Last year, the U.S. “suffered more fentanyl-related deaths than gun-related and auto-related deaths combined,” U.S.

PRECIPITATION

Drug Enforcement Agency Administrator Anne Milgram said. Roughly two milligrams of fentanyl, about the weight of a mosquito, is enough to kill a full-grown adult. According to a recent report published by the National Institutes for Health, law enforcement seizures of pills laced with fentanyl increased dramatically between January 2018 and December 2021, increasing nearly 50-fold from the first quarter of 2018 to the last quarter of 2021. The proportion of pills to total seizures also more than doubled, with pills representing over a quarter of illicit fentanyl seizures by the end of 2021, the report found. “For the first time we can see this rapid rise in pills adulterated with fentanyl, which raises red flags for increasing risk of harm in a population that is possibly less experienced with opioids,” Dr. Joseph Palamar, NYU Grossman School of Medicine associate professor and co-investigator of the NIH report, said. “We absolutely need more harm reduction strategies, such as naloxone distribution and fentanyl test strips, as well as widespread education about the risk of pills that are not coming from a pharmacy,” he added. “The immediate message here is that pills illegally obtained can contain fentanyl.”

Buellton Senior Center expansion gets $35,000 boost By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Buellton Senior Center is preparing to expand its facility, and the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians has donated $35,000 to cover costs for furnishing its new dining area and computer lab, which will help better serve the community. With the adjacent Buellton Library being slated for relocation to the city’s Willemsen Dairy property near River View Park, the senior center will absorb the library’s former home to add to its headquarters, located at 164 W. State Route 246 in Buellton. “The Buellton Senior Center is a vital resource for the community,” said Kenneth Kahn, tribal chairman for the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians. “When we learned it had an opportunity to expand, we were proud to offer funding to help furnish the new space.” Since the start of the pandemic, the Buellton Senior Center was forced to pivot and become a food distribution center rather than a place to gather. Currently its food program is so large that it can’t offer in-house dining or any other in-house programs because the senior center is being used completely for food preparation and distribution. “We had people who weren’t getting out of their houses,” said Pam Gnekow, executive director for the Buellton Senior Center. “We had 18-wheelers going 24 hours a day to get food out. By the end of 2021, we distributed a little

Continued from Page B1 also includes some scenes from the family ranch in Santa Ynez.” Since its release in January 2021, ”Too Late” has won a number of short film awards. They vary from “Best Animated Film” at the GRAND OFF World Best Independent Film Awards in Warsaw to “Best Polish Film” at the EUROSHORTS Film Festival in Gdansk, Poland and “Best Animated Film” at the Across the Globe Film Festival in New York. “I jumped for joy when it was selected for an Academy Awardsqualifying Kraków Film Festival when it had its world premiere in 2021 and later, when it was selected for Raindance in London, where it had its U.K. premiere last November,” said Ms. Syrek. “ ‘Pulp Fiction’ had its U.K. premiere at the Raindance. I am extremely honored to receive this recognition from leading film festivals. “When I started working on it, I dared to dream that Robert Magouleff, who was Edie’s friend and a co-producer of Ciao! Manhattan would produce the soundtrack for my film!” said Ms. Syrek, who also runs a Facebook group called “Conversations with Edie Sedgwick” and an Instagram page @dearest_edie. “Jonathan Sedgwick, her brother, and his wife are members of the group,” she said. Alongside her other art, Ms. Syrek also models as Edie, bearing in dress and make-up, an uncanny likeness. “I was doing research on Edie for my film at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. One day, when I was at the museum, a guy from L.A. who visited the museum went crazy about me. He said that I was Edie!” she said. “He told me that he dresses up as Andy Warhol for special occasions like for Halloween and that he was very upset that he hadn’t brought his white wig with

him. He really wanted me to come to L.A. for Halloween, so I could be his Edie. I felt like a celebrity, who met a crazy fan. He even didn’t want to let me go. It was such a surreal experience.” When asked why, 50 years after her death, Edie Sedgwick continues to be famous, Ms. Syrek said, “She is almost like a mythological figure. She is an enigma. Edie had that unique quality and aura that surrounded her. She is timeless. She was incredibly talented. “All of these aspects make her very special, plus her glare in her eyes and a smile that could have lit up the room. “I really wish I could have met her in person.” email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

Overall, it was a fun night for both the volunteers and our bright and upcoming future Panthers!” “My experience with ‘Future Panther Night’ was amazing. It was so good to see so many future Panthers so interested in all the clubs and sports we offer,” said another student, Melizabeth Peinado “I was helping the girls wrestling. Girls wrestling is one of the best growing sports out there, especially at PVHS. This season, we had a banner hung up at the school gym for winning CCAA Wrestling League. I felt overall it was a great turn out.” “ ‘Future Panther Night’ is an excellent opportunity to showcase the many clubs, activities, sports teams and organizations that Pioneer Valley has to offer,” said Shanda Herrera, Pioneer Valley principal. email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

The Hatter picked up the trumps and threw a diamond from dummy on his king of spades, but when he led a diamond next, the Dormouse took the ten and king, and Alice scored her king of clubs for down one. “See?” said the Queen of Diamonds. “If you keep my card, the Hatter makes his game: You must win the second diamond and are endplayed.” And so it was. DAILY QUESTION You hold: { Q J x J 7 6 2 z A 6 4 2 y A Q 3. Your partner

opens one spade. The next player passes. What do you say? ANSWER: A bid of 2NT is fine if it would show a balanced 13 to 15 points with stoppers in the unbid suits. But most pairs now treat that bid as an artificial forcing raise. They would respond two diamonds, or maybe 1NT forcing. Some theorists have begun to wonder whether the natural 2NT response is too valuable to abandon.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

INSTRUCTIONS Fill in the grid so every row, every column and every 3-by-3 grid contains the digits 1 through 9. that means that no number is repeated in any row, column or box. Sudoku puzzles appear on the Diversions page Monday-Saturday and on the crossword solutions page in Sunday’s Life section.

< 0 ( 3 : 2 ) * &

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.

ball. An artistic pursuit, such as sketching or photography, will help eliminate some of the negative energy. LIBRA: The little fighter that you are makes it very difficult for you to join us in the great communal river that we’re all trying to navigate, Libra. You prefer to travel solo, going down your private stream as you see fit. However, these are opportune days to try joining up with others. Some events may occur to remind you of the benefits of community. SCORPIO: Be disciplined about all areas of your body, Scorpio. Take extra care to eat healthful, balanced meals. Make sure you get enough sleep. And even though you gripe about having no time, get out there and exercise. Don’t wait for an emergency before you take action. You and you alone control how you feel. Your health is essential to your well-being, not to mention your life! SAGITTARIUS: If you’ve been feeling deep anger, today isn’t the day to let it out but rather the day to consider its source. Any large gatherings of family or friends should be avoided at all costs. No, this doesn’t mean you get to take the day off! Just be extra careful about your temper. A little isolation will go a long way toward easing your tension, and may give you some important insights. CAPRICORN: If by chance you still harbor some resentment toward someone, Capricorn, it will probably come out today. You might be uncompromising or even vengeful. Telling that person how you feel will accomplish nothing other than cause you both pain and regret. Vent your anger in a healthy way, such as some form of intense physical activity. Besides, this person really means what they’ve been saying. That’s right, they do care about you. AQUARIUS: You don’t suffer fools gladly, and superficial fools even less so. You have a mind to teach those around you a lesson. You’re uncompromising today, and you can’t understand why others don’t have your same high standards. But are you truly as honest as you expect others to be? Remember that the quality of an artistic endeavor, in particular, is likely to be judged differently by each person who experiences it. PISCES: Here is a day of challenges, Pisces. You’re a pro at questioning yourself, as you’ll prove today when you take a hard look at you accomplishments.

DAILY BRIDGE “You still don’t believe me, child,” the Queen of Diamonds scolded Alice. “Losing a trick can be better than winning one.” “That is not how I was taught, your majesty.” “You’re as bad as my cousin the Queen of Hearts, who can’t abide losing a trick,” the Queen of Diamonds sighed. The Mad Hatter played at four hearts, and West, the Dormouse, led the deuce of spades. Alice, East, took the ace and returned a spade. The Hatter won in dummy, led a trump to his ten and returned a diamond to the ace. Alice was about to play her three when she felt the Queen of Diamonds’ intent gaze. So, Alice followed with the queen.

HOROSCOPE ARIES: If you give the impression that you’re in a reserved and introspective mood (even if you aren’t), you’ll succeed in avoiding confrontation. Today there is no such thing as a simple exchange with someone, Aries. But even in this atmosphere, it is still a great day to evaluate your fundamental objectives. TAURUS: A challenging day is in store for you, Taurus. If you’re part of a group or team or simply among friends, you may feel somewhat ill at ease. Could it be that you instill jealousy in others? There’s only one way to find out. Clear the air by saying what needs to be said. State it clearly and directly and you’ll eliminate any bad feelings among your group. GEMINI: Sometimes dreams seem like just that - dreams. Travel, a project, or a new home could be a few of the things you’ve been trying to accomplish for some time now. Making any one of these dreams come true possibly means jeopardizing relationships. Your dreams could seem particularly unattainable today. Perhaps you must first do some work on your relationships before you can realize your dreams. CANCER: If by chance you still harbor some resentment toward someone, Cancer, it will probably come out today. You might be uncompromising or even vengeful. Telling that person how you feel will accomplish nothing other than cause you both pain and regret. Vent your anger in a healthy way, such as some form of intense physical activity. Besides, this person really means what they’ve been saying. That’s right, they do care about you. LEO: Today is going to be an excellent day for meeting interesting people, Leo. And there will be nothing superficial about these encounters. On the contrary, the people you are going to meet will touch you profoundly and move you deeply on an emotional level. But don’t let yourself be seduced by ideas alone! Practicality matters, too! VIRGO: You can expect today to be kind of intense, Virgo. Even if you’ve made a conscious decision not to let anything get you down, you may still harbor some negative emotions from the last few days. Take advantage of this time to relieve stress. Talk to someone close or go out and whack a tennis

Kahele runs for governor in Hawaii By KIM JARRETT THE CENTER SQUARE ASSOCIATE EDITOR

(The Center Square) — U.S. Rep. Kai Kahele, R-Hawaii, ended months of speculation and officially started his campaign for governor. Rep. Kahele faces a long list of challengers in the Democratic primary, including current Lt. Gov. Josh Green and former first lady Vicky Cayetano, according to Hawaii’s Office of Elections. Former Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell announced last week he was dropping out of the race. Gov. David Ige is term-limited and cannot run again. Rep. Kahele launched his bid Saturday with an announcement in his hometown of Hilo. He said on his website he will run a “grassroots, publicly-funded campaign.” Mr. Green, who has served as lieutenant governor since 2018, announced his campaign in February. He has received several endorsements, including the Hawaii Government Employees Association and the Hawaii State Teachers Association, according to his campaign website.

Rumors circulated for months that Rep. Kahele was running for governor. The one-term congressman was scrutinized for not being in Washington for votes and for having a conflict of interest on some issues. Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, a nonprofit watchdog group, filed a complaint against Mr. Kahele. alleging conflict of interest and abuse of Congress’ proxy voting rules. Rep. Kahele serves on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the Aviation Subcommittee. He is employed as a pilot with Hawaiian Airlines and voted on four bills that affected the aviation committee, FACT said in its complaint. He also voted by proxy more than 120 times this year, the organization alleges. He filed a letter with the House of Representatives clerk that said it was due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the complaint. Six Democrats, two Republicans and one Libertarian have qualified for Mr. Kahele’s seat in Congress.
