House passes baby formula measures

Santa Barbara County Fire Department captain talks about task force, which recently returned from embattled nation

Carbajal talks to News-Press about infant formula, gas prices By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

As depleted infant formula shelves and surging gas prices cause apprehension among consumers, U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal remains confident the federal government is on track to alleviate the pressure. The congressman expressed that confidence during a NewsPress interview, prior to the House voting Wednesday in favor of two infant formula measures with a bipartisan majority. Rep. Carbajal voted for both bills. They now head to the Senate. Families across the nation have scrambled to find the needed nutrients for children — often turning to social media and offering to pay exorbitant shipping fees or other costs. Yet, not every family, especially those who utilize programs like WIC, can afford to do so. California has a relatively low out-of-stock rate of infant formula compared to other states — but the impact of the shortage, exacerbated by the temporary closing of a major factory in Michigan, is still deeply felt. One of the two measures passed by the House would authorize $28 million for the U.S. Food & Drug Administration to purchase formula from Chile, Ireland, Mexico and the Netherlands. “I’ve heard many of the concerns, and they’re extremely valid,” Rep. Carbajal told the News-Press this week, maintaining his commitment to addressing financial concerns felt by constituents. “We’re taking swift action in Congress,

and I believe the White House is doing the same, to make sure formula is available on the shelves and that it’s safe formula for families to be able to get to feed their babies.” The other measure, which passed Wednesday in the House, would loosen restrictions on what types of formula are covered by the WIC program. It’s called the Access to Baby Formula Act. “The good news: We have been able to move swiftly to address this challenge,” Rep. Carbajal said. “Certainly, this was a real scare and wake-up call again, which is all part of what we learned through this pandemic. We can never take our supply chain limitations and challenges lightly. We need to address and have operational plans in place so that if any critical product Please see FORMULA on A6

A team of 11 volunteer firefighters — the Light Urban Search and Rescue Task Force — recently returned from spending three weeks in Ukraine, training Ukrainian firefighters in search-and-rescue operations.

The mission was sponsored by Goleta-based Direct Relief and Joint Project Guardian. “They are much better prepared now and have received 150 hours of combat training and search and rescue, as well as (they’re now) working to implement standards procedures as we do in the United States,” Isaac Siegel, chief operating officer for Joint Project Guardian

and a captain at Santa Barbara County Fire Department, told the News-Press.

The Santa Barbara Planning Commission approved a revised plan for a proposed Milpas Street apartment complex, which included six additional units, earlier this month. The apartment proposal, located at 701 N. Milpas St. at the corner of Ortega Street, will include 16 units designated as moderate-income affordable units. The revised plan, approved by the commission on May 12, increased the number of units from 76 to 82 and changed the architecture from contemporary to Spanish-Mediterranean style. The revision also increased the height from 45 feet to 48 feet with some portions measuring 52 feet. The commercial space was cut to 1,365 square feet while residential amenities grew to include a business center with two conference rooms and a vastly expanded fitness area. “Ultimately, we thought that space would be more valuable as amenities to the tenants in this building than as a marginally performing retail space,” Jarrett Gorin, a principal at Vanguard Planning, told the commission, noting the project as a whole would still benefit the

community. At its meeting, the Planning Commission approved the height exception for the project as well as a front setback modification for parking and a parking modification to allow less than the required number of spaces. The project is slated to include 110 parking spaces. The cutback of retail space or street-facing community involvement caused consternation among some on the commission, but the revised proposal was still approved in a 7-0 vote. “From my perspective, the constraints of this site, the goals of this project, the intent to provide as much housing as possible has been met,” Commissioner Roxana Bonderson said. “We are on the right path here. It is a much better project than we’ve seen before.” Commissioner John M. Baucke said he found the architecture to still be “average at best.” Because of the change to Milpas Street it will bring, Mr. Baucke said the project should be held to a higher standard. The Architectural Board of Review will consider the project for design approval. email: kschallhorn@newspress.com

Goleta city manager delays retirement By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Goleta and City Manager Michelle Greene have agreed to delay her impending retirement by just a few months in order to ensure a smoother transition. Ms. Greene was set to retire on June 30 but has agreed to remain in the position until Sept. 1 as Goleta recruits a new city manager. The city council unanimously approved the extension at its weekly meeting Tuesday evening. “We are grateful for Ms. Greene’s willingness to stay on and provide her seasoned leadership to our city as we take the time needed to find and hire the right replacement,” Goleta Mayor Paula Perotte said in a statement. It is possible Ms. Greene’s retirement date will be extended again if more time is needed during the recruitment and appointment process, according to

the city. Goleta retained Ralph Andersen & Associates, a consulting firm based in Placer County, for recruitment and evaluation. The recruitment period has closed, the city said in a news release this week, and a series of interviews are scheduled for June. Following interviews and background checks, negotiations with a preferred candidate will start. The contract would need to be approved during a regular city council meeting. Ms. Greene, Goleta’s first female city manager, has served the city for about 18 years. She is relocating to Vermont to be closer to her family. “It has been an incredible honor and privilege to serve the Goleta community for the last 18 years, particularly during the last eight years in the role of city manager,” Ms. Greene previously said. “It is with great sadness that I must now look to ending the successful

partnership with the city council, as a need to support elderly family in Vermont requires that I relocate for an indefinite period of time. “But my heart will always be in Goleta. It is an incredibly special place, with an amazing city staff that it has been an honor to work alongside, so I know that I will leave the city in very good hands when the time comes. I wish the Goleta community all the best as the city enters the next phase of its evolution.” Ms. Greene is credited with overseeing Goleta’s response to COVID-19, effecting the purchase of City Hall on Cremona Drive, obtaining nearly $4 million in state funding for the monarch butterfly habitat on Ellwood Mesa and creating a municipal library during her tenure as city manager, among many other things. The city manager is responsible for overseeing all departments and staff, reviewing city council agenda

of Project Opioid Santa Barbara County. The project was discussed during a news conference at the Santa Ynez Valley Marriott in Buellton. “Project Opioid empowers leaders to confront the overdose crisis by aligning around one shared goal: to reduce opioid deaths in their communities,” according to a statement from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office. “Project Opioid educates leaders on how to build a coalition, launch a regional overdose initiative, and promote high level advocacy to transform

and save the greatest number of lives in their communities. “Project Opioid Santa Barbara County has brought together key area leaders to conduct an assessment of existing community resources and develop meaningful solutions to reduce the impact of the overdose crisis,” according to the statement.

GOLETA —Santa Barbara County sheriff’s deputies have arrested a Goleta man on suspicion of attempted murder. At approximately 8:12 a.m. Tuesday, sheriff’s deputies responded to the first block of Kellogg Avenue in Goleta, along with County Fire and medics in response to a stabbing. When deputies arrived on scene, they learned that the suspect had fled the scene and that the male victim had been stabbed multiple times in the upper torso. The victim was transported by ambulance to an area hospital with serious injuries. Deputies, as well as county air support and a K9 unit, conducted a thorough search of the area for the suspect, but did not locate him in the immediate vicinity. Sheriff’s detectives immediately began an investigation into the identity and location of the suspect. Detectives identified the suspect as 41-year-old Rafael Castro Jr. of Goleta and learned that he was familiar with the victim. Detectives tracked him to the 100 block of Orange Avenue and took him into custody at approximately 11:14 a.m. Tuesday, just hours after the stabbing. When Mr. Castro was searched, detectives discovered a “ghost” gun or unserialized gun, said Raquel Zick, the public information officer for the sheriff’s office. Mr. Castro was booked at the Main Jail in Santa Barbara on suspicion of attempted murder and as a felon on suspicion of possession of a firearm and suspicion of prohibited possession of ammunition. All three are felonies. He is being held on $1 million bail. The victim is expected to recover from his injuries.

Westmont baseball goes further than ever before By RON SMITH WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

For the first time in program history, Westmont Baseball (44-11) is one win away from winning an NAIA Opening Round Tournament and advancing to the NAIA World Series. The top-seeded Warriors defeated the second-seeded Grenadiers of Indiana Southeast (40-14) by a score of 9-3 to advance to the tournament’s first championship game. “I am proud of the way they played today,” said Westmont head coach Robert Ruiz. “We played Warrior baseball. We didn’t let the game or the situation get big on us. We stayed focused on executing quality baseball plays start to finish. “I am proud of the way they stayed within our approach and our plan and they competed very well. I thought we stayed poised and composed in tough moments of the game, which allowed us to execute and ultimately helped us win.” Westmont’s Eric Oseguera improved his record to 10-2 on the season by pitching the first five innings. The right-hander gave up just one run on eight hits while stranding six Grenadier baserunners. Oseguera struck out three and walked two. “Just as proud as I was of Peck yesterday, I am equally as proud of Ose today,” noted Ruiz. “He is a leader and a competitor. He showed up and had to pitch against one of the most potent offenses we have seen this year. One through nine, those guys are a threat. He was fantastic. He gave us everything he had and sold out to give our team a chance to win. He made a lot of big pitches in big moments. “Yesterday, everybody was talking about the wins record. I thought it was pretty special that number 44 got win number 44 for us today. He got that game ball for our team.” Oseguera pitched out of jams in the second, third, fourth and fifth innings, to keep his team in contention. Carlos Moreno pitched the next three innings for the Warriors, allowing two runs on three hits. He struck out five and walked one. “Los came in and pitched out of a big jam in such a critical moment of that game,”

reported Ruiz. “Like he has been all year, he was fantastic. We have leaned on him countless times in incredibly difficult moments of the game. He is an unbelievable competitor. “When you are at this point in the season, and playing the caliber of teams we are playing, you have to accept and come to terms with the fact that it is not always going to be clean and easy. That is what I meant earlier when I said that I was proud of our composure and our poise. That is managing the game. I think mature players do that and I am proud of them for that. We have some young guys that are stepping up in those situations and doing that, which is a hopeful sign for our future.” The game remained scoreless until the bottom of the third. With one away, Brady Renck drove the ball into the right field corner, then sped around the bases for a triple. When Simon Reid hit a ground ball to second base, Renck scored to give Westmont an early 1-0 lead. In the top of the fourth, however, the Grenadiers tied the game with back-to-back-toback singles by Marco Romero, Ben Berenda and Brandon Boxer. Further damage was avoided when John Ullom popped up to Reid at home plate and Trevor MacDonald grounded out to Renck at second. In the bottom of the fifth, Westmont started to put some distance between themselves and IU Southeast. Renck led off with a single to right. After a meeting with Ruiz and Reid, who was due up next, Renck took off for second base. Instead of throwing to the plate, Hunter Kloke, the Grenadier pitcher, stepped off the rubber and fired to first base. Renck kept on dashing to second and beat the relay throw and the tag – stealing a base without a pitch to the plate. Then, Reid concluded the at-bat with a monster shot to right field for a two-RBI home run. That brought up Thomas Rudinsky who doubled to left field, and then advanced to third when Josh Rego singled to left. A squeeze bunt by Parker O’Neil allowed Rudinsky to score from third, making the score 4-1 in favor of the home team. In the top of the sixth, Oseguera walked Berenda, then gave up a single to Boxer, giving the Grenadiers men at first and second with no outs. That’s when Oseguera yielded

Ninth inning comeback falls short for No. 5 UCSB By DANIEL MOEBUS-BOWLES UCSB SPORTS WRITER

No. 5 UCSB Baseball fell (37-12) to USC (25-25) in a neck-and-neck 5-4 midweek game Tuesday night. The Gauchos had opportunities to take the lead throughout the game, but left 13 total runners on base. JD Callahan earned the start and pitched 5.1 innings in the no-decision. He collected two strikeouts and gave up only one run earned. Nick Vogt extended hitting streak to 21 straight games, going 1-for-2 with a pair of walks. Christian Kirtley and Bryce Willits extended their on-base streaks to 37 and 35 straight games, respectively. Kirtley also had a double and RBI. Kyle Johnson went 2-for-4 with a walk and a double. John Newman Jr. had two hits, two RBI, and his second home run of the season. Zander Darby hit his seventh home run of the season. Determined to avenge their loss, UCSB came out heavy on defense, not letting Trojans past second base for three innings straight. USC scored a single run off a double play in the fourth frame, but Callahan ended the inning before the visitors could score again. The Gauchos responded with an opposite field homer by Darby at the bottom of the inning to tie the game. With two outs and the bases loaded in the eighth, USC scored two runs on bases-loaded walks, giving them the lead 3-2. Tensions were high as the game descended into the last innings. USC scored another two runs off a single RBI to go up 5-1. In the bottom of the frame,

UCSB will end the home season taking on UC Riverside in a three-game series and hope to claim the Big West title with a pair of wins. Game one is set for Friday at 5:30 p.m. Vogt walked and Kirtley doubled to left field to bring him home and close the lead to 5-2. Mortensen’s ground out advanced Kirtley to third, and then it was Newman Jr. with a bomb to left field to bring Kirtley home to make it a one-run game. Johnson was next, nearly homering to right to tie the game, but the ball fell just short of the fence for a double. UCSB had the tying run in scoring position but Trojans closed it out to win 5-4. UCSB will end the home season taking on UC Riverside in a threegame series and hope to claim the Big West title with a pair of wins.

the mound to Moreno. After striking out Derek Wagner, Moreno walked MacDonald to load the bases with one away. He then coaxed Daunte DeCello into an inning-ending double play on a ground ball to Robbie Haw at short. Up 4-1 going into the bottom of the seventh, Westmont added three more runs. Reid led off and was hit by a pitch. With Jeremiah Canada serving as a courtesy runner for Reid, Rudinsky singled to left field, advancing Canada to second. When Rego hit a fly out to deep right field, both Canada and Rudinsky advanced on base. One out later, Justin Rodriguez drove a twoRBI single to right and advanced to second on the throw. Paul Mezurashi followed Rodriguez and provided an RBI-single, making the score 7-1. “The thing I love about this year’s line-up is that on any given day it is a different two or three guys that come up in a big moment and have a big hit,” expressed Ruiz. “Brady and Simon certainly had a couple of those today. Justin Rodriguez had a big two-RBI at-bat. Parker executed an important bunt in the middle of that game to give us a little bit of a bigger margin. “The offense stayed competitive. The guy we faced today is a fantastic pitcher. We knew we were going to be in for it with him. We worked hard and his pitch count got up pretty quickly. That is a testament of having tough at-bats, one through nine. That gave us a chance to get to their bullpen. I am proud of the way those guys fought start to finish.” IU Southeast closed the gap in the top of the eighth with a two-RBI double by DeCello that made the score 7-3. However, in the bottom of the eighth, Brady Renck pounded the ball over the 35-foot high right field netting to restore Westmont’s six-run advantage (9-3) with a twoRBI home run, his team-leading 14th of the year. In the top of the ninth, freshman righthander Zach Yates was asked to put the game to bed. He came out and retired all three batters he faced on just six pitches.

Crabbe and Lemoine win historic beach volleyball pairs State Championship By MICHAEL JORGENSON SBCC SPORTS WRITER

The SBCC beach volleyball program recently made history by advancing two of its pairs to the CCCAA State Championships for the first time ever. On Saturday, the No. 7 seeded pair of Emma Crabbe and Kelissa Lemoine took it even further, sweeping three out of four opponents and winning the 2022 CCCAA State Individual Pairs Championship over West Valley in straight sets, 21-15, 21-18.

Krongold & McKie Following a successful trip to El Camino two weekends ago for SoCal Pairs Regional competition, the Vaqueros sent their 1s pair of Crabbe and Lemoine along with their 3s pair of Lily Krongold and Jacelin McKie to the state finals at Irvine Valley this past weekend, which began with the group stage on Friday, May 13. It was a tough pool for McKie and Krongold on day one. As the No. 4 seed, they defeated No. 1 El Camino but fell to No. 2 Feather River and No. 3 San Diego Mesa. “This past weekend was grueling, exhausting and rewarding,” head coach Ariana Garner said. “I am so proud of Lily and Jaceline for fighting all weekend. They are an undersized pair who played incredible beach volleyball. They were able to beat El Camino, one of the toughest teams in the whole tournament. As a pair, their success directly correlated with their execution. Their game plan was a perfect approach and the way they executed was so great to see. They have come a long way since the beginning of our season as a pair

SBCC’s 1s pair began the weekend strong with a win against Mira Costa, following it up by defeating West Valley and No. 1 seed Cabrillo. They would finish first in their pool after starting as the No. 2 seed. “We battled through a tough pool, in the heat, and did not let up at all,” Garner said. “The first day nerves definitely got a hold of them in some moments, but like great players, once they settled in, they were unstoppable.” On Saturday, the final day of competition, the duo faced Ventura, a conference foe which has played them tough in four meetings this year, although the Vaqueros have come out on top each time. Again, once the Vaqueros settled in, they were able to take control of the match and stay in control and finish. Crabbe and Lemoine went on to face Cypress in the quarterfinals, a team they did not have much experience seeing before. “Cypress was a taller team and we were outmatched at the net,” Garner said. “Kelissa and Emma were rock-solid, with consistency and ball control that was stellar. They were able to strategically outplay them and put themselves in the semifinals.” Next came an intense semifinals match against Grossmont, a team that has earned a reputation for winning both team and pairs state championships. “Again, going up against a more physical team with height, Kelissa and Emma battled with their ball

control,” said Ganrer. “Setting each other off the net, they were able to hit their shots, move the other team around and get them out of system. It was a backand-forth battle all match and a great win for Kelissa and Emma, earning themselves a spot in the championship match.” In its seventh match of the weekend, battling through heat and exhaustion, the pair would go on to face and defeat West Valley in the finals. “Emma and Kelissa found that last bit of gas in the tank and brought the intensity. They played fresh, with confidence and executed very well. It was a great win for these two and a full circle as the West Valley head coach, Armen Zakarian, was my coach when I played indoor and beach volleyball at SBCC. West Valley is a tough team both on the beach and indoors and the girls battled all the way through a tough, hot weekend. “Proud is an understatement. Kelissa and Emma deserve this honor. Their extensive work ethic on and off the court is what brought them to this point. They put so much work into their beach game outside of practice, countless hours and extensive reps. They are mentally tough in game situations and put on a great show all weekend. They were so fun to watch. Their love for each other and passion for the game is great to see. I am so happy for these two and can’t wait to see what their future holds in the beach volleyball game.”

(The Center Square) – Sens. John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet, both Democrats representing Colorado, met with the head of the U.S. Air Force on Tuesday to push for keeping the U.S. Space Command’s headquarters in their state. The meeting comes after the release of a report by the Department of Defense’s Office of Inspector General into the Trump administration’s planned move of the headquarters to Huntsville, Ala. The report found that the administration “complied with law and policy” in the process of making the decision, though it also recommended that senior Air Force officials review the concerns of military personnel as they pertain to Space Command’s ability to reach “full operational capacity.” “Space Command must remain in Colorado,” the two senators said in a joint statement Tuesday. “The previous administration’s untested basing process for U.S. Space Command lacked transparency and ignored national security and cost concerns,” the statement said. Colorado was one of six states that were finalists to host Space Command’s permanent headquarters in August 2019. Space Command has been temporarily headquartered at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs. The administration’s January 2021 announcement to move the headquarters to Alabama

drew criticism from Colorado officials who alleged the move was politically motivated. Sen. Bennet and Sen. Hickenlooper continued in their statement that “national security must be the key consideration for selecting a permanent headquarters.” In addition to Peterson, Vandenberg Space Force Base was interested in Space Command. In 2020, Central Coast leaders, groups and U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, advocated for Vandenberg Space Force Base to be made the headquarters of Space Command. Today, Rep. Carbajal and others are hoping Vandenberg will be made the permanent headquarters for STARCOM — Space Training and Readiness Command, which is temporarily based at Peterson Air Force Base. “I think our advantages are huge,” Rep. Carbajal told the News-Press recently at Vandenberg Space Force Base. “We are a prime candidate strategically and geographically when you consider our proximity to aerospace technologies in the region and our world-class universities and a base with extraordinary amenities. “And how can you beat the quality of life on the Central Coast?” he said.“And for the local economy, it would mean billions of dollars that would be invested in creating jobs, jobs, jobs.” News-Press Managing Editor Dave Mason contributed to this report. on CBS (KCOY, Channel 12).

THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – As Wednesday morning dawned, just a few hundred votes separated the leading candidates in the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate seat from Pennsylvania. And with it, another possible setback in the toughest referendum yet for former President Donald Trump. His pick in this battleground state of celebrity surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz led former hedge fund manager David McCormick in unofficial returns, with the margin less than 1,500 votes – an edge of 31.38% to 31.26% – with more votes left to count in an unofficial decision that might not be clear for a couple more days. Margins of 0.5 percentage points or less require a recount by state law. As Election Day approached, Kathy Barnette had surged in polling but she took a significant step back receiving 24.55% of the vote. In a sevencandidate field, nobody else captured at least 5%. The seat held by retiring Republican Pat Toomey will be contested in November against Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, who easily won his Democratic

primary on Tuesday. Earlier Tuesday evening, Mr. Trump did gain a key victory in the state when voters chose Doug Mastriano in the Republican governor’s primary. The former Army colonel was leading in the polls when the former president made his endorsement as early voting wound down just days before the primary. Amid five states with primaries, key races on Mr. Trump’s scorecard had a second win in North Carolina (U.S. Senate, Ted Budd) as well as losses in North Carolina (U.S. House, U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthown to state Sen. Chuck Edwards) and Idaho (governor, Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin to incumbent Gov. Brad Little). Two weeks ago, his endorsement of J.D. Vance for a Senate seat from Ohio boosted him from third in polling to a primary day win. The outcome in Pennsylvania, and elsewhere, has attracted national attention as an indication of whether Mr. Trump’s influence still dominates or if Republican candidates can win without his endorsement.

Continued from Page A1 my tenure, I have seen a lot of things. And one of the things that I have seen that’s most disturbing is a decline in academics, a decline in behavior and a decline in mental well being of kids,” Ms. Lozano told Ms. Post. “As a teacher and as a veteran, as a protector of people, I couldn’t stand by and watch it happen any longer. “As you know half of the kids in our county are below state achievement levels, and I have a plan and solutions to change the trajectory of our schools … I have plans that I would like to implement to turn the schools around,” Ms. Lozano said. Transparency is Ms. Lozano’s first priority, and she addressed the importance of transparency in three primary areas: curriculum access, governance and finances. “It’s important that parents are able to see what is being taught to their children. I mean parents are in charge of their kids … so they should have access to that information at any time, and it shouldn’t be, you know, by a formal request. It should just be available for them to see. I think that’s very important, and so parents need to have access to that when they want to have access to it,”

said Ms. Lozano. She believes that curriculum should be posted on both the school and district websites for parental access. The Santa Barbara County Education Office does not currently record videos of its meetings. Last week the topic was revisited, and the board voted 5-2 against recording the meetings. “To me that is unacceptable. The districts have to do that, and so why wouldn’t the overseer of the districts lead by example and make that available?” said Ms. Lozano. “Why doesn’t SBCEO publicly disclose the full list of lobbyists, consultants and vendors in a county where half of the kids can’t read and nearly two-thirds cannot do math at grade level? Where is all this money going?” Ms. Post asked. Ms. Lozano replied, “I have looked over the budgets, and they don’t get into the nitty gritty.” She said SBCEO needs to be more specific in its budget and stressed the importance of transparency, which she noted is crucial to developing trust. “There needs to be trust, and so the more transparent you can be, the more trusting people are over your decisions. And it brings accountability,” she said. Ms. Lozano also spoke to the importance of leadership and

how she plans to lead. She noted it’s important to have honest conversations, however difficult, with parents. Ms. Post asked Ms. Lozano to rate the incumbent’s performance of the pandemic response and what she would have done for a better outcome. “Well, if I was going to rate it, I didn’t really see anything. I didn’t see the incumbent doing anything except probably just reiterating the health department policies that they were putting on the school districts,” Ms. Lozano said. “ If I gave them a rating, it would be a 1 out of 10. I didn’t see movement toward reopening the schools, which they could have done … I think they did a terrible job of dealing with the pandemic,” said Ms. Lozano. Gov. Newsom actually encouraged schools to reopen as long as they signed a waiver, according to Ms. Post. “We are going to go through hard things in our lives, and if we can turn them into a teachable moment, kids really see what they are made of … I think it is a very valuable lesson that was missed during the pandemic,” said Ms. Lozano. “Losing a whole year of school is unprecedented in the history of the United States. We needed

extraordinary steps to be taken and we needed extraordinary leadership. Do you think you could provide extraordinary leadership?” asked Ms. Post. Ms. Lozano responded, “Well, I think I could because I have done a lot of hard things. I’m a veteran, I’m a single mom raising a 15-year old by myself.” email: kzehnder@newspress.com

LOZANO CALLS FOR OPEN DISCUSSION Christy Lozano, who’s running against incumbent Dr. Susan Salcido for Santa Barbara County superintendent of schools, has called on Dr. Salcido to participate in a forum or debate with her. She also said the discussion could take place in person, via Zoom or on TV. In a statement emailed Wednesday evening to the News-Press, Ms. Lozano said the forum or debate should be hosted by an organization dedicated to “open, civil and substantive discussion.”

House set to vote on bill penalizing oil companies caught price gouging FORMULA

Roger Daniels passed away on May 11, 2022, in Santa Barbara at the age of 83 from a heart attack. Roger was born in Los Angeles on Jan. 27, 1939, to Rose and Thomas Daniels. Roger spent his childhood in Hollywood, attended Boise High School in Idaho, and after graduation, enlisted in the Navy where he served the country in the Paciﬁc on the USS Ticonderoga.

Continued from Page A1 When firefighters arrived in Ukraine, they were met by supplies donated from Direct Relief and fire departments across the country who donated firefighting gear and search-andrescue equipment. Equipment and supplies not making it to the front lines and getting tied up in warehouses due to lack of knowledge and training on how to use equipment properly was one of the biggest obstacles encountered, Capt. Siegel told the NewsPress. “We actually delivered the supplies in person to the firefighters that needed them. We spent a week and half delivering equipment and getting to know our Ukrainian counterparts. “It was part of 150 hours of training,” Capt. Siegel told the News-Press this week. “It was very successful,” he said. “Our personnel did above and beyond what we planned for them to do. We searched over 100 buildings and recovered bodies, bringing closure to the families of the victims. We got fire stations back-up and operational and trained over 150 firefighters in the proper use of donated equipment as well as search and rescue.” “The team was deployed north of Kyiv doing search and rescue with Ukrainian firefighters; it was hands-on training,” Capt. Siegel continued. “We were teaching firefighters how search and rescue works in the U.S. There was a lot of back and forth with learning how our procedures worked with their procedures, as well as incorporating equipment.” The team partnered with fire departments in Irpin, Hostomel and Bucha. “When the team came back, we did an afteraction review, where we worked with partners and sponsors to understand what went right and what we needed to improve on. We plan to deploy a second mission of 10 in early July,” Capt. Siegel said. “We will employ all the lessons learned from the last deployment. Direct Relief will be a major partner, as it was with this mission.”

As for gas prices, the House is slated to vote on a bill meant to penalize oil companies caught in price gouging — although there is some skepticism about whether it will actually lower prices. The idea behind the legislation is to give the president the ability to issue an emergency proclamation to make it illegal to sell consumer fuel at an

“unconscionably excessive” price. “It’s just ridiculous,” Rep. Carbajal said. “Gas and oil companies should be held accountable and should not be making the situation worse by price-gouging Americans at the pump. The American people won’t stand for it, we won’t stand for it, and this is going to bring to light — while the price of oil and gas prices are set globally — the four major oil companies in the U.S. are contributing to these inflation costs and maximizing their profits and gouging the American people.” Representatives for major oil companies recently defended their actions before Congress.

THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – State Sen. Doug Mastriano won Pennsylvania’s Republican primary for governor on Tuesday, posting another win for candidates endorsed by former President Donald Trump. Sen. Mastriano will face Josh Shapiro, the Democratic attorney general, in November. Mr. Shapiro was unopposed in his primary. Gov. Tom Wolf, a Democrat, is term-limited. The Democratic U.S. Senate primary finished as expected, with Lt. Gov. John Fetterman winning the nomination only days after he suffered a stroke. Mr. Fetterman, who received a pacemaker for his medical condition on Tuesday, led polls by a significant margin for months on the way to beating out U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb. The Republican primary remained too close

to call Wednesday morning. Sen. Mastriano, a first-term representative in Pennsylvania’s General Assembly, has been a leading state Republican in questioning the integrity of the 2020 presidential election. He led state polls by mid-April and his numbers only grew from there in a crowded field. The retired Army colonel was ahead in polling when Mr. Trump endorsed him days before the election. “This is the first step in our fight to reclaim our state and bring Pennsylvania back to greatness,” Sen. Mastriano said in a statement. “This governor’s draconian policies, enforced by (Attorney General Josh Shapiro), have stolen our individual liberties, silenced our voices, stifled our economic growth, devastated our small businesses, destroyed our energy sector, and weakened our education system.” Mr. Shapiro issued a statement calling Sen. Mastriano “an extremist candidate.”

‘A recount seems almost guaranteed at this point’ PRIMARY

Continued from Page A5 declare, definitively, Mr. Trump’s status in the GOP. While his political judgment may not be the final word, the election does show that a Trump endorsement is no guarantee of electoral success. “A recount seems almost guaranteed at this point,” Fox 29

political analyst Bruce Gordon said of the Oz-McCormick race. The late-campaign surge of military veteran Ms. Barnette complicated the Senate race. Mr. McCormick and Dr. Oz spent much of their time attacking each other, giving her a chance to build support. More than 300,000 voters chose Ms. Barnette. Former U.S. Ambassador to Denmark Carla Sands and former lieutenant governor candidate Jeff

Bartos combined for more than 130,000 votes, more than enough to take away a clear victory by Dr. Oz or Mr. McCormick. National publications have focused on Pennsylvania and the outcome of its Senate race. The New York Times noted “chaos” in the Republican race could upend the midterm elections. Salena Zito of the Washington Examiner said the primary race was unprecedented. And The

Wall Street Journal argued the state GOP failed to find “a sober populism.” Like all statewide contests this year, the state Republican Party declined to endorse any candidate for U.S. Senate. That decision made it easier for the party to avoid a situation where its preferred candidate loses, but it also left space for many candidates to splinter support.

“I have always fought for the good people of Pennsylvania – and as governor, I will bring people together to move our Commonwealth forward,” Mr. Shapiro said. With 91% of the estimated vote total in, Sen. Mastriano received 45% of the votes, with former U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta in second with 21% of the votes and former U.S. Attorney Bill McSwain in third with 15% of the vote. With 71% of the estimated vote total in, Lt. Gov. Fetterman won the Democratic U.S. Senate race with 60% of the vote and Rep. Lamb finished second with 27%. The crowded Republican field, and the effect of the state party declining to endorse any candidate, meant that Sen. Mastriano’s challengers struggled to build substantial support. Mr. Barletta, Mr. McSwain, and former Delaware County Councilman Dave White all presented themselves as alternatives to Sen. Mastriano, and split the vote share.

Last year, the Sunset Soirée Committee wanted an outdoor venue and a September date due to COVID concerns in the spring. John Demboski, Hillside board member, suggested Imagine Park at Alpha Resource Center on Cathedral Oaks Road. “This proved to be a valuable lead as Alpha is an affiliated organization providing individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including several from Hillside, with enriching day programs.

The live auction will feature art such as “Latitudes,” a painting by Ruth Ellen Hoag.

“Given that we had paid Rockwood’s venue fee for 2020 in 2019 and they were flexible about rescheduling without penalty or additional cost, this Saturday the Hillside Soirée returns to Rockwood. We are grateful for awesome community partners like Rockwood and Alpha Resource Center. Collaboration is key!” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

hat came first, the quail or the egg? While this ageold riddle does indeed feature the chicken, which plays a much more prominent role in the culinary realm, this week I wanted to focus some attention on the quail. I felt inspired by a stunning carton of small speckled quail eggs sold by Lily’s Eggs this time of year. These are an item I don’t work with too often in the kitchen, but I work with these eggs for a fun little bite when they’re available. What are the major differences between chicken and quail eggs? The most obvious is with regards to size, with quail eggs about a third as big of its counterpart. Quail eggs are also recognized by their cream shells with an abundance of brown speckles. Chicken eggs are most commonly a single color, which may include brown, white, green and even blue. Nutritionally speaking, quail eggs do pack a bigger punch, primarily due to their higher ratio of yolk to white. By weight, quail eggs are a richer source of protein, vitamin B-12, iron and riboflavin. When it comes to flavor, quail and chicken eggs are quite similar although quail eggs tend to deliver a slightly richer presence due to the higher yolk-to-white ratio. Finally, quail eggs cook much faster, with the typical hard-boil taking about 3-4 minutes, while a chicken egg is hard-boiled just under 9 minutes. Quail eggs can be used culinarily in most cases as you

would chicken eggs. It just takes a lot more eggs (and expense) when doing your basic scramble or omelet. To crack the shell of hard-boiled quail eggs, roll them with a light amount of pressure on a cutting board. This week I prepared an avocado toast topped with sunny side up quail eggs and a quick fresh bruschetta.

AVOCADO TOMATO WITH QUAIL EGGS AND BRUSCHETTA 2 San Marzano or Roma style tomatoes, seeds and membrane discarded and diced small. 1 garlic clove, very finely diced. 1 teaspoon olive oil. 2-3 large Italian basil leaves. Salt to taste. 2 pieces of sourdough toast, about 1/4 inch thick, drizzled with olive oil and toasted,

1 ripe avocado. 6 quail eggs. 2 tablespoons butter. Fresh cracked pepper. Aged balsamic vinegar. To make the bruschetta, combine tomato, garlic, olive oil, basil leaves and toss together. Season with salt to taste and refrigerate until ready to use. Spread your toasted bread with avocado. Add butter to a pan at medium heat to coat the bottom, and crack in eggs. Cook for a couple of minutes, or until desired consistency is reached. If you prefer an overeasy egg, just flip and turn off heat immediately. Then remove your eggs from the pan and place on the avocado toast. Finish by topping with your bruschetta mixture. Yield: Serves 2.

Picks of the Week SAM EDELMAN

Flavorosa pluots

Quail eggs I picked up some of these beauties at the farmers’ market from Lily’s Eggs of Fillmore. Primarily found at the Saturday Santa Barbara, Sunday Camino Real Marketplace, Tuesday Santa Barbara, and Thursday Carpinteria farmers’ markets during the spring to early summer, quail eggs are quite a fun find. About the third of the size of chicken eggs, quail eggs are more nutritionally packed, with a slightly richer flavor than their counterpart. You can poach, softboil, hard-boil, or fry them, and this week I prepared an avocado toast topped with quail eggs and a quick-made bruschetta as the Fix of the Week (elsewhere on this page). Price is $10 per 8-pack carton.

That’s right, the first freshly harvested pluots of the season have arrived, with this delicious flavorosa variety being one of the best. Only in season for two or three weeks from Burkdoll Farms of Visalia, they can be found at all weekly Santa Barbara certified farmers’ markets. They’re recognized by their purple skin. Once sliced open, the burgundy red flesh is exposed, yielding a wonderful balance of sweet and tart notes. Enjoy them out of hand as they come, in a fruit salad, or in a spinach or arugula salad topped with chèvre and walnuts. Price is $4 per pint basket.

Organic harvest moon potato The freshly dug new potatoes have arrived, with several local farmers bringing their spuds to market. This variety, in particular, is one of the tastiest I’ve ever experienced, grown by Jacob Grant or Roots Farm of Los

Olivos. Harvest Moon potatoes have a deep purple skin with a distinctly yellow flesh. They’re nutty, a little sweet and full of flavor. There really is no need for salt or butter when you cook these potatoes, although feel to add if desired. Roast and serve them with roasted chicken, pan fry them, or boil and mash them. They’re available at the Saturday Santa Barbara, Tuesday Santa Barbara and Wednesday Solvang farmers markets. Price is $3 per pound. Sam Edelman is general manager of the Santa Barbara Certified Farmers Market Association and host of “Farm to Table,” which airs live at 9 a.m. Thursdays on KZSB AM 1290, the News-Press radio station.

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.

interactions with others. Try to adopt a plan that combines both of these energies. Libra: There’s a solid grounding to the day that might have you feeling less than energetic about getting the ball rolling, Libra. Don’t be surprised if there’s a sense of restriction and duty weighing you down. Times of rest and reflection are very important in the natural cycle. Scorpio: Things will go more and more in your favor over the next four weeks, Scorpio, although today you might find that they’re slow to get moving. It could be that there is a bit of stress on your body and that you aren’t feeling very motivated to get up and go. Don’t worry about it. This feeling will soon pass and you’ll feel like your old self in no time. Sagittarius: Discipline and a sense of duty have been major themes for you lately, Sagittarius. It might seem like someone has put the brakes on a current plan of yours. Try not to see this as negative. In reality, this is an important time for you to slow down and plan. Be aware of the passage of time and consider using this period to organize your scattered energy. Capricorn: Your ego and physical vitality should experience a boost today, Capricorn. Try to hone in on the solid, grounding energy that’s encouraging you to come to terms with your emotions. Be aware of the fact that your often gloomy attitude may be starting to weigh heavily on the ones you love. Aquarius: It might be hard to find the exact direction you’re looking for today, Aquarius. It could be that there’s a strong force urging you to slow down and be more practical with your energy. This may not be the advice you want to hear, but it probably is the advice you need to follow. Pisces: Just when you’re feeling good and solid in your plan, Pisces, something or someone may step in to rain on your parade. You could get the feeling today that you’re taking one step forward and two steps back. Perhaps there’s a feeling of doubt creeping into the picture. Try not to let these nagging, restrictive energies hold you back.

“The secret of getting ahead is getting started.” — Mark Twain

Aries: Restriction might weigh heavily on you today, Aries. Perhaps you’re being reminded that there are some important details that you need to take care of. Perhaps you need to adopt a more disciplined approach in your life. Is it time for some restructuring? Don’t be afraid of change, and don’t let feelings of responsibility hold you down. Taurus: Try not to worry too much today, Taurus. Take care of details and work to get things accomplished. Check things off your list and you’ll feel much better about yourself and the direction you’re headed. Keep your eyes open and try not to have tunnel vision on every issue. Give people the benefit of the doubt instead of the third degree. Gemini: Aspects of your life that you’ve neglected lately might haunt you on a day like today, Gemini. Make sure you’re keeping up with all your responsibilities. Things may come to a dramatic climax at this time, and you could find yourself at an important crossroads. Nervous energy could cause you to run around frantically in search of the right path. Cancer: You might find it easier to connect with others at this time, Cancer. It would behoove you to reconnect with friends or family members you may have lost touch with. Their energy can bring an entirely different perspective to your life, which could surprise you with its richness. The aspects are also good for meeting new people. Leo: You will find that disciplined actions are the best way to go about your day today, Leo. Stay focused on your path. You can accomplish many tasks at the same time if you play your cards right. Try not to get bogged down with details. People might cause you to worry too much. Don’t let their energy get in the way of your progress. Virgo: Decisions will be even more difficult to make than usual today, Virgo. On the one hand, you may feel a need to stabilize, while on the other hand find that your energy is raging in a million different directions as you want to seek new experiences and social

SOFT WASHING Soft washing is the alternative to pressure washing. We use water based, biodegradable solutions. They emulsify dirt and grime, break down insect nests and webs as well as kill mold, mildew, algae and bacteria. All while sanitizing the surface we are cleaning. Soft washing uses one-third the water of pressure washing, lasts four to six times longer, and doesn’t erode the surface like pressure washing often can.

According to the National Association of Realtors, cleaning the homes exterior (for the home and driveway) can add anywhere from $10,000 to $15,000 to the value of your home, making pressure washing one of the most costHIIHFWLYH DQG WLPH HI¿FLHQW FOHDQLQJ WHFKQLTXHV

Santa Barbara Soft Wash uses processes and roof cleaning solutions that are recommended by the ARMA so you can be reassured that your roof warranty is not voided.

KILLS MOLD, MILDEW, & ALGAE The problem with high pressure washing is it only strips away the top of the algae bloom, and while it may temporarily remove discoloration, it leaves the root spores on the surface, often blasting them deeper, and allowing them to grow back thicker and healthier. Soft Washing penetrates to the root of the growth, eliminating the discoloration instantly while breaking the bond of the spores and achieving a 100% kill ratio.
