By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Santa Barbara County-based Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co. has announced a deal with Artisanal Brewers Collective to manage the latter’s Los Angeles brewpubs.

Figueroa Mountain will also manage the collective’s Echo Park mainstay Mohawk Bend.

Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co. is an independent brewery with taprooms in Buellton, Los Olivos, Santa Barbara and Westlake Village.

The new deal includes West Los Angeles’s Stalking Horse Brewery and Pub, as well as Westwood Village’s Broxton Brewery & Public House. Also included in the agreement is the Sherman Oaks space formerly occupied

by Bluebird Brasserie, which closed early in 2020 due to the pandemic.

The rest of the Artisanal Brewers Collective’s locations — including Brennan’s, Library Bar and Ojai Pub — will remain under ABC ownership-and-operation and are not affected by the change.

All current locations will remain open as usual for the time being. However, current plans are to evolve the brewpubs into Figueroa Mountain taprooms in the coming months.

According to a news release, the Figueroa team will be using these brewpubs to showcase and experiment with a wide range of beers, including award-winning recipes such as Hoppy Poppy IPA and Danish Red Lager. There will be no operational changes to Mohawk Bend, which is known for its focus on California beer and spirits as well as vegan-first food.

“We’re really excited to have found a partner like ABC,” Jaime Dietenhofer, president and founder of Figueroa Mountain, said in the news release.

“We’re not interested in expansion for expansion’s sake, but a match like this really makes sense. They share our values of creating great communities, great environments, and great beer,” Mr. Dietenhofer said. “And we know their team is the one to help us share our brewing experience with the people of L.A. “While the transition of each brewpub is still in progress, the

group has begun to plan out what each space will look like,” he said.

“Westwood’s location, right next to the UCLA campus, will serve as a pilot brewery for experimental new beers. The former Stalking Horse location will become Agua Santa Cervecería, a Mexican restaurant highlighting the company’s Agua Santa Mexican Lager.

“And in the former Bluebird Brasserie location, the team plans to create an elevated beer experience they’re calling the Please see FIGUEROA on A4

Santa Barbara City Council OKs budget for fiscal year 2023

By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara City Council voted 7-0 Tuesday to approve the operating and capital budget for fiscal year 2023.

The budget includes a $156 million general fund budget and more than $300 million in capital projects.

The council voted in accordance with staff recommendations to

adopt all budget resolutions.

Several items in the budget were voted on separately to allow Mayor Randy Rowse and Councilman Eric Friedman to recuse themselves. In those cases, the council voted 6-0 to approve the items.

Councilman Friedman recused himself from the vote on an item because it had the potential to affect his employer and source of income.

The 2021 and 2022 fiscal year budgets required expenditure reductions of $6.8 million each year in order to balance the budget. The 2023 fiscal year budget required an expenditure reduction of $1 million in order to balance the numbers.

“The revised deficit is approximately $1.1 million in the general fund, requiring the use of reserves, which was approved by the vote to approve the budget,”

said Keith DeMartini, the city’s finance director, during the report to the council.

Public meetings about the budget, with the city council and its finance committee, began on March 10. During the June 8 meeting, city council gave budget revisions to the staff, who incorporated them into the final budget.

Staff have already begun to work on the priorities and initiatives in the budget and plan to include

monthly financial reports that will be on the council’s consent calendar.

Quarterly reports will present an in-depth look at the trends of the city’s expenditures. There will be an estimated projection for the end of the fiscal year, to determine if mid-year adjustments are needed.

(The Center Square) — Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order to revoke some of his previous coronavirus pandemic-related policies but did not follow the lead of most other states in letting the emergency expire.

Gov. Newsom’s executive order eliminated five provisions related to Cal/ OSHA’s COVID-19 Emergency Temporary Standards.

Meanwhile, 15 provisions will expire on June 30, and only 5% of coronavirus pandemicrelated executive orders will still be in effect.

“As California navigates the evolving pandemic, the state remains laser-focused on keeping Californians safe while advancing our ongoing recovery,” Gov. Newsom said in a news release. “We’re continuing to deploy proven strategies and programs that allow us to swiftly and effectively respond to changing pandemic conditions, take on equity gaps, and keep us moving forward.”

Although many of the provisions are going away, Gov. Newsom thinks the ones staying are important for public health and the state’s economic recovery from the government-induced coronavirus restrictions.

Former U.S. Treasury secretary says unemployment rate needs to rise to curb inflation THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) — The unemployment rate needs to rise in order to ease the effects of inflation, former U.S. Treasury Secretary Larry Summers says.

According to the Consumer Price Index, the annual inflation rate in the U.S. is 8.6%, the highest seen in 40 years.

To ease the effects of such high inflation rates, Mr. Summers said the unemployment rate would have to rise above 5% for five years.

“We need five years of unemployment above 5% to contain inflation. In other words, we need two years of 7.5% unemployment or five years of 6% unemployment or one year of 10% unemployment,” Mr. Summers said in a speech in London on Monday, Bloomberg reported.

In May, the U.S. unemployment

rate was 3.6%.

Mr. Summers’ comment comes as many discuss the potential for the U.S. to enter a recession.

According to a report by the Conference Board, a nonprofit research group, most CEOs believe a recession is imminent.

“More than 60% of CEOs globally say they expect a recession in their primary region of operations before the end of 2023 or earlier,” the Conference Board said.

Another 15% say their regions are already in the midst of a recession.

However, the Biden administration’s opinions differ starkly from what most business leaders say.

In response to a reporter stating that most economists say a recession is “even more likely than ever,” President Joe Biden said most economists aren’t saying that.

“Not the majority of them aren’t saying that. Come on, don’t make things up; OK, now you sound like a Republican politician,” Mr. Biden said. “I’m joking, that was a joke, but all kidding aside, no, I don’t think it is. I was talking to Larry Summers this morning.

There’s nothing inevitable about a recession.”

President Biden’s comment contrasts with what Mr. Summers said in an interview with NBC’s Chuck Todd on Sunday.

“I don’t think there are historical precedents for inflation at the rate we now have it coming down to the target the Fed has set of 2% without a recession,” Mr. Summers, an economist who served as the Treasury secretary from 1999 to 2001, said. “I think all the precedents point toward a recession.”

Current U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s opinions also diverge from what most

business leaders and economists are saying.

“It’s natural now that we expect a transition to steady and stable growth, but I don’t think a recession is at all inevitable,” Ms. Yellen said in an interview with ABC News on Sunday.

Retail sales fell in May by 0.4%, according to estimates released by the U.S. Census Bureau, indicating a decrease in consumer spending, which could contribute to the possibility of a recession, but again, Ms. Yellen said she disagrees.

“I think consumer spending remains very strong, there’s month-to-month volatility, but overall spending is strong although patterns of spending are changing,” Ms. Yellen said.

“Higher food and energy prices are certainly affecting consumers and making them change their patterns of spending, but bank balances are high.”

Supreme Court voids Washington law governing workers’ comp at nuclear site

By LAWRENCE WILSON THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) — The U.S. Supreme Court Tuesday unanimously overturned a 2018 Washington state law concerning workers’ compensation law as discriminatory against the federal government.

The law related to workers involved in the cleanup of the Hanford Site, a 586-square-mile nuclear facility in southeast Washington operated by the federal government from 1943 to 1987.

The court’s opinion, written by Justice Stephen Breyer, found that the law discriminated against the federal government by making it easier for employees working for federal contractors to establish their entitlement to workers’ compensation.

Most workers involved in the cleanup were employed by private companies holding contracts with the federal government, though some state and federal employees were involved as well.

By favoring the federal contractors in their pursuit of compensation, the law singled out the federal government for unfair treatment and increased workers’ comp costs it incurred the court held. By doing so,

The U.S. Supreme Court announced Tuesday its ruling overturning a Washington state law related to the Hanford nuclear site.

Washington state was seen as violating the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which gives federal law precedence over state laws, preventing the states from regulating the federal government.

Lower courts had agreed with Washington’s argument that this law was protected under a “waiver of intergovernmental immunity as to all workers’ compensation laws on federal lands and projects.” The Supreme Court disagreed because no such waiver had been explicitly

stated by Congress.

Of particular concern to the Supreme Court was a provision of the Washington law stating that a wide range of diseases suffered by any worker at the Hanford Site were presumed to have been caused by their work there. By that provision, it would be incumbent on the government to show that the illnesses had another plausible cause, such as tobacco use or a preexisting condition.

Ferguson reacted to the ruling immediately, noting that the state had passed an updated law this year, clarifying the issues found with the 2018 statute and ensuring that workers at Hanford and other radioactive waste sites would still be eligible for workers’ compensation for occupational health costs.

“Because the legislature already fixed the issues the federal government raised, there is little practical impact in Washington as a result of this ruling,” Mr. Ferguson said in a statement.

“Hanford workers, and all others working with dangerous radioactive waste, remain protected.”

Mr. Ferguson also noted that the 2022 law had not been challenged by the federal government.

In its decision, the Supreme Court left open the possibility that the federal government could recoup previously paid costs or avoid paying millions in new claims. However, the state maintains that the 2022 law is retroactive and will apply to claims filed under the preceding law.

The Hanford site produced the plutonium used in making the atomic bomb detonated over Nagasaki, Japan, on August 9, 1945, effectively ending World War II.

religious.

“The Department’s policy violated the rights of Trinity Lutheran under the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment by denying the church an otherwise available public benefit on account of its religious status,” the court ruled in that case. “This Court has repeatedly confirmed that denying a generally available benefit solely on account of religious identity imposes a penalty on the free exercise of religion.”

As The Center Square previously reported, critics of Maine’s anti-religious school provision also pointed to Espinoza v. Montana Dept. of Revenue, a Supreme Court case in 2020 in which the high court ruled in favor of a similar Montana program, saying students could receive state funds for education at a religious school.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion, and Justice Stephen Breyer wrote the dissent. In the dissent,

Justice Breyer said the majority gave too little credence to the establishment clause and too much to the free exercise clause.

“The Court today pays almost no attention to the words in the first Clause while giving almost exclusive attention to the words in the second. The majority also fails to recognize the ‘play in the joints’ between the two Clauses,” Justice Breyer wrote.

Religious liberty advocates celebrated the ruling.

“We are thrilled that the court affirmed once again that religious discrimination will not be tolerated in this country,” said Kelly Shackelford, Liberty Counsel’s president and chief counsel. “Parents in Maine, and all over the country, can now choose the best education for their kids without fearing retribution from the government. This is a great day for religious liberty in America.”

MUSSEL SHOALS — The southbound side of Highway 101 is reduced to one lane from Mussel Shoals to Faria Beach from 9 p.m.to 6 a.m. nightly this week through Saturday.

Caltrans explained the lane reduction will allow workers to clean debris, add signs and move heavy equipment on the closed southbound lane on the coastal side. Two northbound lanes will remain open in the work zone.

As part of the lane closure, the southbound off- and on-ramps at Seacliff are closed from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. The southbound bypass lane also has no exits from Mussel Shoals to Faria Beach.

Residents and businesses located near the

freeway may experience noise, vibrations and dust associated with construction activities, Caltrans said.

Signs will be posted. Closures may start and end later.

Caltrans said motorists should expect delays and high-intensity lights. Real-time traffic information can be found at quickmap.dot. ca.gov.

All work is subject to change due to weather or construction-related issues.

The work is part of a $48 million pavement rehabilitation project — including $5.5 million in funding from Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 — on a 4.3-mile section of Highway 101 north of Ventura.

The project will smooth the roadway and extend the highway life by as many as 40 years, according to Caltrans.

Road shoulders, guardrails, retaining walls and concrete barriers are also being upgraded by this project.

(The Center Square) — The U.S. Supreme Court Tuesday overturned Maine’s ban on state tuition assistance to students attending religious schools in a case that could have big implications for schools around the country.

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Carson v. Makin.

The dispute began when the state of Maine created a tuition assistance program for rural areas without public schools. The program, though, explicitly said state funds could not be used at religious private schools, only secular schools.

A family sued the state of Maine, saying it should be able to use the state funding at a religious school if it desired. The family argued the program discriminates against religious schools and violates the Free Exercise Clause of the Constitution.

The Supreme Court sided with

the challengers to Maine’s law Tuesday.

“Maine’s program cannot survive strict scrutiny,” the court’s ruling says. “A neutral benefit program in which public funds flow to religious organizations through the independent choices of private benefit recipients does not offend the Establishment Clause.

Maine’s decision to continue excluding religious schools from its tuition assistance program after Zelman thus promotes stricter separation of church and state than the Federal Constitution requires. But a State’s antiestablishment interest does not justify enactments that exclude some members of the community from an otherwise generally available public benefit because of their religious exercise.”

The high court pointed to Trinity Lutheran Church of Columbia v.

Comer, a 2016 ruling where the court sided with a religious school that was denied state grant funding assistance for a playground improvement because it was

Renovation progresses at Solvang theater

Yellowstone gets $50M boost from park service to ‘kick-start’ rebuild

By DEREK DRAPLIN THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER

Newly installed seats now grace Solvang Festival Theater, which has been undergoing a $5.3 million renovation project. On Monday, the Solvang City Council voted to proclaim the week of July 10 as “Solvang Festival Theater Week” to celebrate the renovation’s completion. The work, which started in September, is designed to ensure structural integrity, safety and accessibility with enhancements for lighting and sound.

(The Center Square) — Yellowstone National Park is getting $50 million in emergency funds from the National Park Service to “kick-start” efforts to fix damage and reopen parts of the park that were devastated by historic flooding last week.

More than 10,000 visitors were evacuated last week from the park, which has been closed since June 13. The park’s southern loop is scheduled to reopen today with an “interim” visitor entry system to limit traffic.

About 80% of the park is expected to reopen within two weeks once cleanup repairs to the northern loop are completed, NPS Director Chuck Sams and Yellowstone National Park Superintendent Cam Sholly said Monday in a statement.

The Western States Scientific Safety Review also approved the recommendations.

“Our youngest community members are now eligible to receive safe and effective protection from the COVID-19 virus,” said Van Do-Reynoso, director of the Santa Barbara

County Public Health Department.

She said the department has been in contact with local pediatricians and pharmacies to evaluate the incoming supply. She added that the health department will be ready to “support vaccination needs as they arise.”

locations.

And with the Ventura Boulevard location soon coming back into operation, Sherman Oaks residents will have a neighborhood brewery once again.

As part of the agreement, ABC founder Tony Yanow will stay actively involved in the Los Angeles locations.

“I’ve known Jamie and the Fig Fam for years, and I’m excited

to be partnering with them on these brewpubs and the brewery,” Mr. Yanow said. “They are real pros who make top notch beers.

Blending these companies will ensure that all of our guests keep getting great experiences for years to come. When Fig Mountain beers start coming off the tanks at these locations, I’ll be the first one standing in line for a pint.”

Figueroa Mountain said it has

seen a surge of growth coming out of the pandemic, with distribution increasing in the Southland, and more guests visiting the taprooms in Buellton, Los Olivos, Santa Barbara and Westlake Village.

Additionally, the brewery last month won two medals at the World Beer Cup, bringing its total medal count to nearly 200.

January 18, 1926 – June 13, 2022

Dr. Bowdre Lucian Carswell died of natural causes in the early hours of Monday, June 13, 2022 at his apartment in the Vista del Monte retirement complex in Santa Barbara, CA. Dr. Carswell was born January 18, 1926 in Sardis, Georgia into a family with four older brothers and one younger sister. His father, Alex Carswell, was a Southern Baptist minister, CPA, small-town lawyer and educator, and his mother, Marjorie Norris Carswell, was a homemaker who every day read a page of the Bible and a page in the dictionary.

After graduation from high school in Blakely, GA, Bo - as he was known by family and friends - entered the University of Georgia in 1942. After completing the required premed courses, he transferred to the Medical College of Georgia graduating with an M.D. shortly after his 21st birthday.

Dr. Carswell served as a Naval officer with the U.S. Air Force at Randolph Field, TX and Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina followed by Navy Flight Surgeon School in Pensacola, FL. He was then assigned to the First Marine Air Wing at El Toro, CA and then deployed to Japan and Korea. Returning from the Korean War in 1952, Dr. Carswell began a 4-year surgical residency followed by a 6-month pathology residency at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, MI. In 1957, Dr. Carswell joined the practice of Dr. Bill Sheehan in Santa Barbara, CA. After Dr. Sheehan’s retirement, Dr. Bo continued to practice there until he retired in March, 1996 at age 70. During the nearly 40 years that he practiced, Dr. Carswell had one of the busiest surgical offices in the county. According to his nephew, John Carswell, “It was hard to go anywhere in Santa Barbara without running into someone Uncle Bo had operated on.”

Dr. Carswell served in many capacities in all of the local hospitals during his long surgical practice and maintained many professional and civic memberships. One of his most cherished honors was to be chosen PHYSICIAN OF THE YEAR in 1994 as the first recipient. He was selected by his peers from both St. Francis Hospital and Cottage Hospital.

Definitely noteworthy is the unusual fact that Dr. Bo had three brothers who also practiced medicine: Dr. Gus Carswell, orthopedic surgeon in Augusta, GA; Dr. John Carswell, anesthesiologist and Dr. Harold (“Bud”) Carswell, colo-rectal surgeon in Santa Barbara. It was not unusual in Santa Barbara for Dr. Bo and Dr. Bud to be doing surgery together while Dr. John administered the anesthetic.

When he wasn’t involved with patients - which was rare, Dr. Bo could be found playing bridge, billiards or tennis. He also enjoyed bowling, ping pong and shooting pool.

In 1958, Bowdre Carswell married Betty Jean Boyles whom he met while doing his surgical residency at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. Ms. Boyles was an R.N. In 1958, she relocated to Santa Barbara and worked at Cottage Hospital and Sansum Clinic.

They married on March 26, 1958 at the First Baptist Church. Theirs was a long and loving marriage and they served together in many worthwhile capacities in the Santa Barbara medical and Christian communities until Betty’s death in 2017.

Survivors include Bowdre’s sister and brother-in-law Marjorie and Jim Brandt of Santa Barbara, brother-in-law Bill Young (Rose) of Youngsville, PA and many nieces and nephews for whom “Uncle Bo” was really a second father throughout their lives.

Enough cannot be said about the extraordinary character of Bowdre Lucian Carswell.

He had a selfless, tireless work ethic, was generous, humble, fiercely loyal and always encouraging. Lastly, he was a master jokester and family lore story teller.

A Memorial Service will be held Saturday, June 25, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. at the First Baptist Church, 949 Veronica Springs Rd, Santa Barbara, CA. Donations in Dr. Carswell’s memory may be made to St. Francis Foundation, 2323 De La Vina St., Suite 104, Santa Barbara, CA 93105 or to First Baptist Church, 949 Veronica Springs Rd, Santa Barbara, CA 93105.

As a devout Christian, Dr. Carswell supported Youth For Christ, Sea & Summit (now part of YWAM), the Boy Scouts, the Salt Company at Hollywood First Presbyterian Church, Physicians For Life and was an active member of Santa Barbara’s First Baptist Church until his death.

One of Bowdre’s favorite accomplishments was to have been part of the team (which included his brother Dr. Harold Carswell) that developed the Valle Verde Retirement Community. He was actively involved from the inception in the 1950s until the doors opened in 1965.

Rare Society New local restaurant an homage to retro steakhouses

COURTESY PHOTOS

The name of a new Santa Barbara restaurant, Rare Society, is a double entendre, according to Chef Brad Wise. “Rare refers to steak, and it also notes that we are a rare breed — we’re a steakhouse like no other.”

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

At top, chef Brad Wise said the Associate is Rare Society’s wagyu meat board. “The cuts change based on what I want to serve, but the idea is to expose people to pieces of meat that they may not be all that familiar with like a wagyu Denver steak, a wagyu tri tip, alongside those steakhouse staples like a wagyu filet mignon.” Above, a seafood tower stands at the Rare Society.

remium proteins grilled on an open flame inside the exhibition kitchens and served shared-style with house-made sauces are at the heart of the menu at Rare Society, a fascinating new Santa Barbara eatery that will open June 30 at 214 State St. Cuts of dry-aged ribeyes, American wagyu and classic filet mignon will complement bedrock steakhouse specialties such as Oysters Rockefeller, snow crab legs, Caesar salad, a seafood tower and a decadent dessert selection.

Inside the space, white marble, tufted leather booths and a goldpaneled ceiling invoke the lore of Rat Pack gatherings and raucous Sinatra dinner parties, while the outdoor bar and covered patio offer a decidedly lighter atmosphere for beach-going crowds looking for happy hour or healthy lunch options.

Rare Society is part of the TRUST Restaurant Group, the San Diego-based hospitality collective helmed by Chef Brad Wise. Its portfolio includes five distinct concepts that run the gamut from fine dining to a butcher shop to an ice cream window.

Chef Wise said he decided

to open Rare Society in Santa Barbara because “it feels like a coming home for me. My wife is from the Central Coast, and it’s here where I was first exposed to the Santa Maria-style of grilling and where the seeds for Rare Society were ultimately planted.

“We took this method of production (live-fire cooking), and added our own spin on it.

We designed the space to be elevated with gold accents and velvet touches and tufted leather.

You feel like you’re in this fancy space, but there’s a huge grill in the kitchen, and everything has some char on it.

“So as we were looking around and creating our wish list of cities and towns we wanted to open a Rare Society in, Santa Barbara was at the top of the list. It feels like a natural fit for the region — we’re an open fire/Santa Mariastyle, neighborhood steakhouse that highlights those cuts of meat, like tri tip, that this region is known for.”

The provocative name, Rare Society, is a double entendre, according to Chef Wise, who is married to Kristen and has two young daughters, Charlie and Georgie.

“Rare refers to steak, and it also notes that we are a rare breed — we’re a steakhouse like no other.

We stand alone doing what we do.

This Old Fashioned is among the cocktails at the Rare Society.

Society refers to the community we seek to build here. We’re creating this special, shared space, one that people want to join and be a part of. A society, if you will.

“We fit into our own category of steakhouse. We’re approachable — you can come in on a budget, casually, and eat really well, or you can dress up and go all out.

Either way, you’re going to have a great experience. My first restaurant and all our subsequent ones revolve around this idea of shared plates, of coming together, so when we created Rare Society, we wanted to bring that same style of shared plates and communal dining to the concept. This means that everything’s meant to be shared, including the steaks.”

To demonstrate how this works, Chef Wise described the restaurant’s two different meat boards — The Associate and The Executive, each of which highlights three different cuts of steak.

“The Associate is our wagyu board. The cuts change based on what I want to serve, but the idea is to expose people to pieces of meat that they may not be all that familiar with like a wagyu Denver steak, a wagyu tri tip, alongside those steakhouse staples like a wagyu filet mignon.

Continued from Page B1 board. We dry age our meat inhouse to my specifications. It’s more mild and less funky — it’s approachable. Those cuts can change too, but generally I like to serve a bone-in ribeye, a New York strip and a filet mignon.

These boards are presented on a custom-made Lazy Susan right in the middle of the table, so you’re sitting there and the boards drop and you can spin the board around and sample each cut of meat. This way of dining is at the core of our hospitality ethos,” he said.

“The other thing that really makes Rare Society different is how we actually cook the steaks. I am a huge fan of live fire grilling, and all our restaurants incorporate it in some way. Rare Society is no exception. We have a grill in our kitchen that burns American Red Oak harvested nearby. So the flavors from our dishes, the char and the smokiness and the aromas from the wood lend itself to the dishes, and they take on these bold flavors that we’re known for. “ Among the signature dishes he is most excited to share with the Santa Barbara crowd — besides the boards — is the dry-aged bacon chop, which is four pieces of pork that are normally separated — a bone-in pork chop, baby back ribs, a spare rib and the belly.

“We keep them together as one, and it’s a cut that only really works when cooked over a fire. The belly becomes a smokey bacon that’s central to the dish. The rub is a San-Diego-Meets-Texas spice rub, an Americana mixture with salt, black pepper, cayenne, toasted cumin seeds, coriander and Spanish paprika,” Chef Wise said.

“There’s a light heat that doesn’t overpower your palate. We dryage it in-house for three weeks, lightly brush it with a seasonal glaze (this summer it’s charred peaches), and grill it over that open flame. This is one of those dishes that embodies everything we seek to do at our restaurants — provide a completely unique experience with bold flavors, modern techniques and of course, fire.”

access to new experiences with the symphony’s professional musicians and guest artists.

“I am so pleased to welcome Daniel as the new music director for the Santa Barbara Youth Symphony,” said Dr. Nicholas Fuentes, vice president of community education and enrichment for the Santa Barbara Symphony. “With his background and experience, we’ll be taking the youth ensembles to new levels by providing educational opportunities that build bridges between musicians of every age.

The addition of Daniel to our team adds vital support to our vision of providing a continuum of music education to young musicians of all skill levels in the local community.”

Actively and equally engaged in both choral and orchestral worlds, Dr. Gee has served as assistant conductor for the Long Beach Symphony and associate conductor of Orange County’s Choral Arts Initiative. His breadth of conducting experience ranges from professional ensembles to church and community groups to educational settings.

His work abroad has included teaching and conducting master classes at the 2018 Simpósio de

Música hosted by the Assemblies of God Denomination in São Paulo, Brazil, and performing with the USC Chamber Singers in the Baltics and Poland.

He includes Jo-Michael Scheibe, Cristian Grases, Eckart Preu and Michael Shasberger, among many others, as his conducting mentors.

Dr. Gee first moved to Santa Barbara to attend Westmont College, received his doctorate of musical arts from the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music and recently returned to Santa Barbara two years ago to take on a role as faculty. His musical journey began in his public school music program in Temple City by learning and playing the cello.

“I am thrilled with the appointment of Daniel. He’s a great combination of musician and educator, and he has also assisted me in a few symphony programs in the past,” said Nir Kabaretti, the Santa Barbara Symphony music and artistic director.

“Daniel’s musical journey began in his public school’s music program, a testament to the power and potential of music education in schools. Our students are in great hands, and this is exciting for our continuing partnership with Westmont College.”

“Music education is a key part of our mission to inspire a passion for music in the next generation, and the community’s support is critical to our programs,” said Kathryn R. Martin, president and CEO of the Santa Barbara Symphony. “The community’s financial support through the June ‘Playing Our Part’ campaign helps us to continue to foster our youth’s potential both in the classroom and beyond!” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

Blood drive planned for Tuesday in Santa Maria

SANTA MARIA — To help end a critical blood shortage, Vitalant and the city of Santa Maria are hosting a blood drive from 1 to 4 p.m. Tuesday in the Bloodmobile across from the library.

To make an appointment, call 805-542-8500.

As people resume pre-pandemic activities, like travel, fewer people are giving blood, according to a news release.

For example, Vitalant collected about 13,000 fewer blood donations in April and May 2022 than in the same months last year.

Giving blood is safe and easy and only takes about an hour to help save more than one life, according to the news release.

Other added benefits of donating blood are a miniphysical and full panel of tests each donor receives. The mini-

physical check of pulse, blood pressure, hemoglobin and cholesterol can be tracked with each visit in the donor’s secure and confidential online account.

Dr. Daniel Gee will be the music director of the Santa Barbara Youth Symphony for the 2022-23 season.

He is an assistant professor of music at Westmont College, where he conducts the College Choir and Chamber Singers.

“I could not be more thrilled at this opportunity to lead the Santa Barbara Youth Symphony and continue its legacy of investing in our community’s young musicians,” said Dr. Gee. “Making music together is one of life’s greatest joys, and the challenges that our youth face today makes this all the more valuable.

“I am also glad to see Westmont’s strategic partnership with the symphony continue to grow as we continue our joint efforts to make an artistic and educational contribution to our community,” he said in a news release.

The Santa Barbara Symphony’s music education programs are the only programs in the region tied to a professional symphony orchestra. Fostering collaboration, confidence and community, the three youth ensembles serve students in grades 3 through 12 from beginner to advanced: Camerata Ensemble, Philharmonia Orchestra and the Santa Barbara Youth Symphony.

The Santa Barbara Youth Symphony has a 57-year history in the community and has produced notable alumni both in and out of music.

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.

+ - = 4 1 2 %

* ; 7 9 ' / 8 & < : 0 5 (

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet.

Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance.

All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid.

Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

LIBRA — You may need to slow down a bit after the hectic pace of the last couple of days, Libra. It’s essential that you take a more reserved and sensitive approach, especially with matters having to do with the heart. Try to ground and center yourself.

Instead of thinking about conquering someone, try simply sitting back and receiving their appreciation and affection.

SCORPIO — You should notice a boost of energy today, Scorpio, and your self-confidence should be revitalized. In matters of love and romance, everything is running smoothly. Your emotions are stable and grounded. Love and harmony are in the air. Take this opportunity to move toward the object of your desire with certainty and affection.

SAGITTARIUS — Take it easy today, Sagittarius, and work to digest some of the input you’ve received over the past couple days. This is a day to contemplate and plan. With matters of the heart, you may find that a sensitive, grounded approach works best. This isn’t always your favorite mode of operation, but it’s one that will provide you with the balance to counteract your usual frenzied pace.

CAPRICORN — Anything having to do with love and romance is likely to go well today if you play your cards right, Capricorn. See what you can do to ground your fluctuating emotions.

Try your best to bring them into balance. Take a practical approach and slow down.

Communicating with groups of people will be extremely rewarding.

AQUARIUS — Don’t be surprised if you run into a few emotional roadblocks today, Aquarius. People could be quite stubborn and difficult to deal with. You may exacerbate the situation by trying to get a rise out of someone with your boisterous attitude and dramatic flair. If your efforts don’t yield positive results, back off.

PISCES — The planets align to make this a great day for you, Pisces. You should find that your mood is excellent and your mind focused. Romance will thrive in the nice, stabilizing atmosphere, and you should feel free to take center stage.

This is a good day to consolidate and organize. When it comes to matters of love and romance, try not to be so fickle. You may be giving someone the runaround just to test his or her devotion.

TAURUS — Your sensitivity will be greatly appreciated today, Taurus, and you’ll find that there is a great grounding force that will help balance your extreme emotions.

It’s as if you’ve reached a comfortable ledge in your trek up the mountain. This is a good resting spot that will let you catch your breath for a moment. Take this opportunity to relax and regroup.

Try not to scare anyone away with abrasive words or insisting that you’re always right.

VIRGO — There’s a loving tenderness in the air that you’ll find very comforting, Virgo.

Ground your sensitive emotions and make room for love to enter the picture. It could be that you’re feeling indecisive when it comes to matters of love and romance.

Despite gubernatorial primary, early voting in Illinois has been slow

By KEVIN BESSLER THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER

(The Center Square) — With Illinois’ primary election day less than a week away, early voting continues to lag.

This is the latest the primary election has been held in Illinois in nearly 100 years. The primary is usually held in March but was moved to June 28 because the

2020 U.S. Census Bureau numbers needed for redistricting were late.

McLean County Clerk Kathy Michael said voter turnout for the 2018 primary was in the neighborhood of 26%, and she expects the number to be lower this year.

“We’ll see, but in the primaries you know people just haven’t made up their minds yet, and I hear a lot of that now more than I’ve heard in

the past as well,” said Ms. Michael.

Even with primary races for governor, secretary of state and U.S. congressional seats up for grabs, voters are showing little interest.

Tazewell County Clerk John Ackerman said the later primary date for Illinois may be contributing to the lack of interest in voting.

“I really believe with the change from March to June for the primary election itself that it has thrown

individuals off,” said Mr. Ackerman.

Although as of Tuesday early voting numbers were behind 2018 totals, he expects heavier traffic as the week goes on. He said there is a noticeable increase in mailin voting from 55 in 2018 to 488 already this year.

An expensive Republican gubernatorial primary is drawing a lot of attention. With six candidates on the ballot, recent polling

indicates it’s between state Sen. Darren Bailey, R-Xenia; Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin and venture capitalist Jesse Sullivan. Others running are business owner Gary Rabine; former state Sen. Paul Schimpf, R-Waterloo, and attorney Max Solomon.

The 15th Congressional District has a Republican primary faceoff as well, with U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis, R-Taylorville, and U.S. Rep.

Mary Miller, R-Compton, pitted against each other after the state lost a congressional seat because of population decline.

Voters have until Thursday to request a mail ballot. To be counted, your mail ballot must be postmarked by Election Day and arrive within 14 days after.

The Illinois state-wide primary election is June 28. Polls open at 6 a.m. and close at 7 p.m.

Cyber attacks prove costly for New York businesses Data shows California had the most corporate breach events

By STEVE BITTENBENDER THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) — According to a recent study, more than 700 New York businesses were victims of data breaches over five years, and those cyber attacks cost companies more than $38.6 million.

The study by Forbes Advisor was based on data from the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center.

It found that New York suffered the fourth-highest total of attacks

and the fourth-highest financial damage.

From 2017 through last year, 11,343 businesses across the country had their systems breached, leading to losses totaling $431.8 million.

The number of breaches has mostly declined over that time frame, from 3,593 in 2017 to 1,208 last year. However, the amount of damages has grown. In 2017, businesses lost $55.1 million.

Last year’s breaches caused $127 million in losses.

That’s been the case with New York as well. According to the IC3 data, just 78 of the 705 corporate data breaches over the past five years occurred last year, but those attacks accounted for $12.4 million of the losses.

There are various types of breaches. According to Maryville University, one of the most common attacks is phishing, which involves someone sending an email that appears to come from an innocuous source. However, once someone opens a link or downloads

something from the email, they expose the company’s data.

Rob Watts, a business editor at Forbes Advisor, said there was no silver bullet to safeguarding company systems against attacks.

“True protection comes from a combination of the right software tools, employee knowledge on cyberthreats and established best practices in using company tech,” Watts said. “Many data breaches come as a result of human error, so it’s important to make your employees as knowledgeable as

possible when it comes to spotting and countering threats.”

The Federal Trade Commission reminds businesses they have legal requirements when they suffer a breach. Those vary by state.

According to the New York State Office of Information Technology Services, companies conducting business in New York must notify the State Attorney General’s office, the State Police and the State Division of Consumer Protection.

The IC3 data found that California had the most corporate

breach events, 1,807, and suffered the most losses, $81 million.

Many of New York’s neighboring states were not immune to breaches. Pennsylvania ranked sixth with 380 reported breaches and fifth with $17.8 million in losses, and New Jersey had the seventh-highest number of breaches, 266, and the sixth-most losses at $16.8 million.

Connecticut had 166 breaches over the five years, and its losses of $11.6 million were the ninth-most among states.
