Riders compete in one of several dozen individual contests during the Santa Barbara National Horse Show at the Earl Warren Showgrounds in Santa Barbara on July 14.

By NEIL HARTSTEIN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Twenty-three riders ages 15 to 55 competed in this year’s Santa Barbara Horse Show National Grand Prix, drawing oohs and aahs from an awe-struck crowd as they watched them and their horses try to clear the jumps better and faster than their competition. But after two rounds, there could be only one winner: Zacko Hardin riding Caracas, taking home the $10,000 prize. The Grand Prix, of course, was the thrilling finale of the twoweek event at the Earl Warren Showgrounds. The event was held in the new arena on the night of Saturday, July 16, with a large crowd gathered to watch and cheer each rider on. “Spectators could feel the excitement and love the riders have for their horses and for this exciting event,” Horse Show officials reported in their July 22 news release. After the first round, five riders came back for the jump off. The fastest clean round in the jump off and winner of the event was Mr. Hardin and his horse Caracas. Mr. Hardin is trained by his mother, Kristin Hardin, in New Cuyama, who had won this competition in previous years. The Santa Barbara National Horse Show, now in its 102nd year, was actually two week-long shows. Please see HORSES on A2

California campaigns can soon accept crypto donations under new regulations By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – California campaigns could soon accept cryptocurrency contributions like Bitcoin under new regulations adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission. The FPPC voted Thursday to lift a ban on cryptocurrency donations, adding California to the list of 12 states and Washington, D.C. who allow crypto donations in some form. Prior to the commission’s decision, California was one of nine states that banned crypto contributions. A contribution using cryptocurrency must go through a third-party, U.S.-based payment processor and must be converted to U.S. dollars immediately, according to the FPPC’s regulations.

Campaigns would be required to use a payment processor that collects the name, address, occupation and employer of each contributor “to ensure the true identity of the contributor is disclosed,” thus ensuring that a crypto contributor receives the same level of privacy as a person who contributes with traditional currency. The FPPC’s new regulation will take effect in 60 days, according to the Sacramento Bee. The decision comes a few months after Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an executive order to create a framework to regulate the cryptocurrency industry. Gov. Newsom touted the order as the state “getting ahead of the curve” by laying out a foundation for companies that operate in blockchain – including crypto assets – to thrive.

The Carpinteria City Council today will consider extending a temporary moratorium on the issuance of certificates of occupancy and/or business licenses for new chain stores, restaurants or motels seeking to locate in the city, with the exception of Casitas Plaza and Shepard Place shops. The council will meet at 5:30 p.m. in council chambers, 5775 Carpinteria Ave. Staff is recommending the council adopt an ordinance extending the temporary moratorium already in place. At least four out of five councilmembers will have to approve the motion for it to pass. At its Feb. 14 meeting, the council requested staff to prepare a report on how cities regulate chain stores and restaurants, also known as “formula businesses,” that have standardized services, decor, methods of operation and other features that make them virtually identical to businesses elsewhere. During its May 9 meeting, the council received information that a proliferation of such businesses can have deleterious impacts on a community’s health, safety and welfare. “Cities have found it common for formula businesses to arrive in an area enmasse, squeezing out independent businesses and causing a speculative run-up in rents that results in the wholesale transformation of a business district almost overnight,” staff wrote in a report for tonight’s meeting. “The loss of independently owned/operated stores can also have long-term economic consequences for communities,” staff said. “Local economies dominated by formula businesses also tend to be solely profit based and uninterested in meeting community needs over time, as opposed to a business model

that fills a local niche and/or is complementary to existing businesses in similar categories.” Perhaps of greater concern, staff said, is that formula businesses often invest locally generated profits outside of the community, and disappear quickly when the economy contracts or their corporate strategy shifts, leaving behind building vacancies with higher rent expectations. Councilmembers responded by directing staff to return with an urgency ordinance to establish a temporary moratorium on the establishment of formula businesses throughout the city while city staff and the council study and consider permanent regulations on formula businesses. Staff returned to the next meeting, May 23, with options for a temporary moratorium. The council voted to approve it on June 27 after considering additional public testimony and examples of language from other municipalities’ formula business regulations. The only exceptions were the Casitas Plaza and Shepard Place shops. The temporary moratorium applies to any commercial business operating as a retail sales, restaurant/food service and/or hotel or motel establishment which have more than seven locations anywhere in the country, and have two or more features common to most or all of its locations. The council also determined that the following business types, in the context of the moratorium, not be treated as formula businesses: office space, professional services, banks or credit unions, grocery stores, nonprofit businesses, pharmacies, gas stations and theaters/ performing arts spaces. The temporary moratorium does not prohibit the relocation of an existing formula business already operating in Carpinteria to another location within the city.

The show, a longstanding social event and tradition for Santa Barbara, was bigger than last year, drawing more than 150 top competitors from California and Arizona. The first week was Multi Breed week. Ten breeds of horses competed. Highlights of the first week were the three $1,000 Stake classes. All three championships were named in loving memory of longtime show manager Rae Deane Stone. The $1,000 English Pleasure Saddle Seat Open Stake was won by Emily Grissen riding Play Dirty. The $1,000 Hunter Pleasure Open Stake was won by Bill Deeney and Tabaco MOR. And the $1,000 Western Pleasure Open Stake was won by Caroline Boone showing Storm The Beach. The week also featured a Welsh pony show. New this year was the Perry Perkins Memorial trophy donated by Suzanne Perkins. It was won by Acapella Bey ridden by Kim Boyd. The second week of the show was Hunter/Jumper week. McKenna Skelton riding Guidetti owned by Sharon Park was the winner of the $5,000 Tab Hunter Derby. The Derby, named in loving memory of Tab Hunter, the Montecito movie star who was a rider and exhibitor at the horse show, was sponsored by Alan Glazer and Mary Jo England. Highlights for the general public this year included free tours with volunteer show docents to learn about horses, the competition and the history of Earl Warren Showgrounds. Local families brought their kids to meet and pet the perfect picture pony, named Bubbles. They enjoyed slices of pizza and painted little model horses to take home. This event was sponsored by Mary Anne Morrison’s Laughing Dog Ranch from Ojai. “We are looking forward to seeing you all next summer for the 103rd Santa Barbara National Show,” officials said. Breed Week is set to run July 5-8, 2023, with Hunter/Jumper week set to follow July 12-16, officials said. “Mark your calendars.”

Abbott, Texans push back against Washington, D.C. mayor’s claims over illegal immigration By BETHANY BLANKLEY THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) – Texas leaders are pushing back against claims made by Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser after she blamed Texas for her city’s struggles to deal with illegal immigrants. Mayor Bowser said that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and others are “tricking” illegal immigrants by transporting them to Washington, D.C. Gov. Abbott says the only “lie” being told is by the Biden administration about a border crisis the administration created. Mayor Bowser told CBS News’ Face the Nation that she’d called on the federal government “to work across state lines to prevent people from really being tricked into getting on buses” who’s final destination isn’t Washington, D.C. Roughly 100 people a day are arriving and the city’s homeless shelters are full, she said. The City Council also sent Mayor Bowser a letter requesting that she provide additional resources and ask the federal government for help. “We condemn these actions by Governors Abbott and [Arizona Gov. Doug] Ducey, who have demonstrated no regard for people who are exercising their human right to seek asylum. The District, on the other hand, has a history of serving all residents who settle here, regardless of immigration status,” the city council members wrote. The “sanctuary city” of Washington, D.C., is a welcoming place, Mayor Bowser said, “because we know that our neighborhoods are safer and stronger when no one is afraid to call on our government for help.” Because many illegal immigrants being released into the U.S. have shown they have no

way to support themselves, once they arrive in the U.S. capital, they are finding limited assistance. One humanitarian aid worker told CNBC News: “We do not have the ability to sustain this. If they’re coming in from Texas but need to get to New York, that is an expensive endeavor.” Because those arriving appear to have no money and their connections in the U.S. appear to not be helping them, some arriving are sleeping in the city’s homeless shelters, parks and on the street. One Venezuelan man told CNBC News that he was “in a good place” living in Venezuela but he wouldn’t have “gone through that journey” to enter the U.S. illegally if he knew he would have ended up struggling on the streets in Washington, D.C. Gov. Abbott directed the state’s emergency management division to transport foreign nationals to Washington, D.C. after the Biden administration began releasing them into the U.S. instead of deporting them or requiring them to remain in Mexico while their claims are adjudicated. Texas also has sued over a range of policy changes the administration has implemented that it argues violate immigration and other federal laws. On April 6, Gov. Abbott began the busing scheme as another measure to thwart illegal immigration impacting the state. “We are sending them to the U.S. Capitol where the Biden administration will more immediately be able to address the needs of the people that they are allowing to cross our border,” he said. In two months’ time, Texas had spent $2.9 million to bus 1,778 people to Washington D.C. at Texas taxpayers’ expense, The Center Square previously

reported. As to the mayor’s claims, Renae Eze, Gov. Abbott’s press secretary, told The Center Square, “The only lie is the Biden Administration telling the American people that our border is closed. President Biden’s open border policies have created an ongoing humanitarian crisis, with record-high illegal crossings and deadly drugs like fentanyl flooding into our state. “Border communities are overrun and overwhelmed,” she added, and the governor launched the border bus mission … to help provide support to these communities pleading for help where the Biden Administration is dumping migrants. With our nation’s capital now experiencing a fraction of the disaster created by President Biden’s reckless open border policies that our state faces every single day, maybe he’ll finally do his job and secure the border.” John Hostettler, a vice president with the Texas Public Policy Foundation, said, “Texas hasn’t ‘tricked’ the migrants heading north. It is the Biden administration who has fooled potential asylum seekers into believing that making the dangerous journey will result in them receiving special status to stay in America. In truth, the vast majority of asylum claims are ultimately denied. “If Mayor Bowser would like to stop the influx of migrants into her city, she should instead join the calls to fix the root cause of illegal migration: an administration that encourages illegal crossings and refuses to secure the border,” he added. The Texas legislature has so far allocated more than $4 billion to border security efforts through Operation Lone Star and Texas is the first state in U.S. history to build its own border wall.

Notion that noted artist created bird sculpture doesn’t fly

E. has a copper sculpture of a bird found in a thrift store that she believes looks like a Brancusi. It kind of does, but it misses something significant; it does not fly. The claw end is a claw end (full stop), and what distinguishes works by Brancusi is that they seem to embody the essence of flight. What J.E. is referring to when she asks if this is a Brancusi, is Brancusi’s lifelong exploration into the bird in flight. His series, “Bird(s) in Space,” of which he made many forms until he died, is world renowned. This quest was based on his early childhood in Romania, where he learned the myth of a certain golden bird that foretold the future and cured the blind. Brancusi grew up in the shadow of the Carpathian Mountains, tending sheep at 7, finding work in the next town at 9 and carving himself a violin at 11. A kind man enrolled him in the local craft school, then he went on to art schools in Budapest, Munich and Paris, finding himself in Paris in the 1910’s in the company of other artistic geniuses, one of which, Rodin, accepted him as apprentice, but Brancusi left him fast, saying “nothing can grow under big trees.” He began as a classically trained sculptor but found the essence of something was contained in its form, and therefore when he made a model for a sculpture, it was not in clay, but hand-carved out of wood. All his life he longed for the old myths, food and crafts of Romania, creating a monument in 1938 for Romania’s fallen soldiers of WWI who, in 1916, defended against the Central Forces. The work comprises three monumental sculptures: “Endless Column,” “The Table of Silence” and “The Gate of the Kiss,” at Targu-Jui. Although

neck and her downturned head reminiscent of the way she was known to converse with a mirror on her table, so she could watch her beautiful self. The battles of the artist versus the critics waged on: it turns out “Princess X” was a follower of that notorious Dr. Freud, and had, as a woman, trained under Freud in psychoanalysis. And we all know how Freud must have emphasized a certain organ that the Princess did not possess. The interplay of the form of the sculpture, the “shrinking” of the actual Princess under Freud, and Brancusi’s claim that the shape was simply feminine made this work infamous. All factors which go into my assertion that J.E.’s sculpture cannot be Brancusi’s.

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.

and sharp, Libra, and your mental awareness keen. You should use it to head toward new, forwardthinking projects. Don’t waste your time beating around the bush. Cut right to the heart of the issue. You’ll easily outwit your opponents in a game of Scrabble or chess. Engage in activities that exercise your brain. Scorpio: You’re apt to come up with some new, radical thoughts today, Scorpio, which you should feel free to share with others. There are opportunities around that you should grab hold of. Be aggressive about pushing ahead with your progressive thoughts. Communication with people who possess opposing viewpoints will prove quite valuable. Sagittarius: Today is a terrific day to express your thoughts, Sagittarius. You’ll find your mind especially clear and ready to tackle any mental issue that comes your way. Your tendency is toward free and unconventional ways of problem solving. Express the importance of being able to think for yourself. Write letters, make calls, and surprise someone with a personal visit. Capricorn: Someone may challenge your mental capabilities today, Capricorn. Your natural tendency might be to take the information, mull it over for a while, and come back with your decision or opinion at some later date. The truth of the matter is that things are moving quickly and decisions must be made quickly and efficiently. Stay on your toes and have confidence in your mental processes. Aquarius: Unexpected information may be coming at you today from out of the blue, Aquarius. You’ll find that this information is extremely important, so make sure to keep all lines of communication open. You’re apt to learn some important lessons regarding working harmoniously with groups to fulfill not just your own needs but also those of others. Pisces: Don’t be so nosy about others’ affairs today, Pisces. If you were meant to be included in the conversation, you’d have been invited. Suspicion of other people’s actions and motives will only cause them to lose their trust in you. Keep any abrasive and critical thoughts to yourself.

HOROSCOPE Aries: Other people could have some seriously opposing opinions about how things should be done. Be prepared for battle, Aries, because others are likely to have sharp tongues. Compromise is the key to finding solutions that will work for everyone. Realize that the best solution is probably one that neither party has thought of on his or her own. Taurus: Information is apt to come in erratic bursts today, Taurus. You’ll find that a great deal of nonverbal communication is revealed and you should listen not only with your ears but also with your eyes and heart. Keep an open mind. Let others finish their thoughts before you make any judgments. You’re probably better off not making any judgments at all. Gemini: An unexpected opportunity to take a short trip could present itself today, Gemini. Hop on that boat or train and see where it goes. If you have no real reason to travel, make one up. You don’t need one anyway. The point is that it’s time to get away from your current surroundings and explore other ways of living. Cancer: If you aren’t paying close attention today, Cancer, you might miss what’s said. Important information is being relayed quickly, so don’t miss out on the action. It may not be important for you to agree with everything you hear, but at least listen to it and seriously consider incorporating elements into your point of view. Leo: Actively express your thoughts today, Leo. You’ll find that a great deal of information needs to be exchanged. You have the power to deliver a strong, thoughtful message to others, so don’t give up this opportunity to exercise your acute mind. You may also find people to be rather argumentative, but don’t let this keep you from expressing your true thoughts on the matter at hand. Virgo: You may be feeling a little bit lost in the dust today, Virgo. Somehow what you’re thinking and feeling isn’t exactly coordinating with the current conversation. Don’t think you need to agree with the group just to feel like you fit in. Maintaining your own point of view is critical. You’re better off rolling with the punches rather than trying to put up a fight. Libra: Your thinking is clear

THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – Several Republican senators introduced new legislation this week that would prevent U.S. taxpayer dollars from going to certain Chinese firms. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., introduced the Turn Off the Tap Act along with Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., and Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla. The bill would stop any federal funds from going to companies that have been blacklisted by the Department of Commerce’s Entity List and the Non-SDN Chinese MilitaryIndustrial Complex Companies List. “It’s not only dangerous to fund Chinese businesses with American taxpayer dollars, but it’s also dumb,” Sen. Rubio said. “This bill would prohibit federal funds from bankrolling Chinese and other firms we know are not acting in our best interest.”

Lawmakers also argued China is taking advantage of the U.S. while not addressing its human rights violations. “We know Communist China will stop at nothing to try and exploit American markets and take advantage of American businesses operating within the genocidal regime’s borders,” Sen. Scott said. “The Turn Off the Tap Act will stop the flow of hardworking Americans’ dollars to countries like Communist China who want to hurt our economy. This legislation is a nobrainer, and I urge the support of my colleagues for its quick passage.” The federal funding goes to these companies via federal grants or contracts which, aside from the national security concerns, threatens American businesses since Chinese companies have a history of predatory investment and stealing U.S. intellectual property.

Experts say Chinese companies often use cultural exchange programs or shell companies to access U.S. investment. “It is unconscionable that the Biden administration has enabled the Chinese Communist Party to rake in cash from American taxpayers,” Sen. Blackburn said. “Rather than letting Joe Biden award grants or sign federal contracts that undermine the United States, I am cosponsoring legislation to cut our adversaries off. The White House needs to stop emboldening the New Axis of Evil and start putting America first.” Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., introduced companion legislation in the House with the same goal. “The American people’s tax dollars should not be invested in blacklisted Chinese companies,” she said. “Yet today, because of weak policies in Washington, they continue to be. It’s time we cut off the tap.

Ford may let go one-fourth of salaried Michigan employees to pay for EV transition By BRUCE WALKER THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – Less than two months after announcing it would apply $134 million of taxpayer dollars for retooling two Michigan plants, news reports this week surfaced that revealed Ford Motor Company would lay off approximately 8,000 salary workers. According to Bloomburg reporting, the job cuts are part of the automaker’s effort to liberate $3 billion of corporate operational costs from its internal combustion engine business. The company would then transfer savings garnered from the layoffs to build electric Ford F-150 Lightning and Ranger pickups at Ford’s Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, a new Mustang coupe at Flat Rock Assembly Plant, and a $35 million Ford Customer Service Division packaging facility in Monroe. Ford and the United Automotive Workers union touted in their joint June 2 announcement that the company’s $2 billion investment in Michigan, including the $134 million of taxpayer incentives, would create 3,200 union jobs in the state. Ford currently employs 31,000 salary workers. “Ford was just given another $135 million of taxpayer dollars after the company promised to add 3,000 new EV jobs in Michigan,” Jason Hayes, environmental policy director at the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, told The Center Square. “But we learned that Ford is planning to cut 8,000 jobs – about a quarter of

The job cuts are part of the automaker’s effort to liberate $3 billion of corporate operational costs from its internal combustion engine business. its salaried workforce – to help fund its ‘Model e’ electric vehicle unit,” Mr. Hayes continued. “We’re told that these habitual multi-million-dollar handouts are the key to job creation and to making Michigan a destination for business. Unfortunately, it’s becoming painfully clear that corporate welfare is more about transferring wealth to a few of the state’s favored companies than anything else.” After reporting a first quarter loss of $3.1 billion in 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021, Ford in March revealed its Ford+ plan in which the company would be split between the Ford Blue and Model e divisions. At that time, Ford also announced it was planning on investing $50 billion in its electric vehicles. In what was characterized widely in the press as a blow to Michigan’s automotive economy, Ford revealed last September it was partnering with SK Innovation to construct an $11.4 billion electric vehicle and battery facilities in Kentucky and Tennessee. The projects, the companies say, are anticipated to create more than 11,000 jobs.

“The Chinese Communist Party’s predatory trade policies, significant human rights abuses, and threats to American security are absolutely unacceptable.” Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., introduced a similar bill Monday, the “Time to Choose Act,” which would “prohibit the Department of Defense and other federal agencies from contracting with consulting firms like McKinsey & Company who are simultaneously providing services to the Chinese government or its affiliates.” Sen. Hawley said, “The fact that these consultants are awarded huge contracts by our Defense Department and other federal agencies, while they are simultaneously working to advance China’s efforts to coerce the United States is appalling and completely unacceptable. It is well past time that we hold these companies accountable and prohibit this kind of conflict of interest in government contracting.”

Ducey appeals ruling against Arizona’s limiting COVID relief to open schools By CARLY MORAN THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) – Gov. Doug Ducey is appealing a federal judge’s decision blocking his decision to withhold federal COVID-19 relief to unopened schools. While Arizona had lifted all mask mandates in April 2021, some schools still maintained a mask requirement. To incentivize the removal of classroom mask policies, Gov. Ducey restricted a $163 million aid package to maskless, opened schools. The aid amounts to $1,080 per student. The state funding came from the $2 billion in federal stimulus money from the American Recovery Plan Act. “Safety recommendations are welcomed and encouraged – mandates that place more stress on students and families aren’t,” Gov. Ducey said last year. “These grants acknowledge efforts by schools and educators that are following state laws and keeping their classroom doors open for Arizona’s students.” On Jan. 6, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen issued an amendment in response, “Recipients may not use funds for a program that undermines practices included in the CDC’s guidelines and recommendations for stopping the spread of COVID-19.” After multiple letters by the Treasury warning of a rescinding of funds, Gov. Ducey filed a complaint on Jan. 21. Gov. Ducey cited the initial requirement of the American Recovery Plan Act, “to respond to the public health emergency with respect to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 or its negative economic impacts, including assistance to households, small businesses, and nonprofits, or aid to impacted industries such as tourism, travel, and hospitality…” The complaint was struck down on Tuesday by United States District Judge Steven Logan. Court documents show Gov. Ducey appealed the ruling Friday.
