United Way of Santa Barbara County’s (UWSBC) annual Fun in the Sun (FITS) summer learning program returns June 21-July 30, and is now accepting applications for staff and local students to participate.
The free six-week program will address summer learning loss and COVID-19 learning loss through academic and social emotional programming.
UWSBC anticipates having an in-person program at all six sites depending on COVID-19 mandates. Students will engage in academic rotations focused on literacy and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math), as well as participate in social, emotional and mental wellness activities.
Should COVID-19 conditions worsen, UWSBC will provide a virtual program.

In partnership with Santa Barbara County, United Way of Santa Barbara County will be distributing $13.3 million in emergency rental assistance to eligible residents who have experienced financial loss because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“These are unforeseen circumstances where for the sake of public health, government restrictions have changed residents’ lives,” Board of Supervisors chair Bob Nelson said. “Some of those changes have resulted in lost jobs and, therefore, the inability to afford rent, food, medicine or other necessary expenses. With this program, many of these individuals can now meet these basic needs.”

Dear Mr. Mick: How do you juggle two high-powered careers as The Chronicle movie critic we love, and as Stanley Tucci, movie actor, cook and author?

Dear Mr. James: In the late 1980s, I saw Stanley Tucci in a movie for the first time, and I got a very bad feeling. He was about my size and coloring, my ethnicity, and he was already pretty bald. At this point, I
wasn’t, although that delightful process had started. Right then, I thought, “Oh no. If this guy becomes famous, and I really do go bald, people are going to tell me I look like him.” I dreaded this, and about 10 years later, it all came to pass.
