SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (KEYT) – On Sunday morning, the Community Hot Rod Project hosted their Cars & Coffee event for the first time on Stearns Wharf. Folks enjoyed coffee, donuts, and the beautiful Santa Barbara coastline at the event that featured a variety of classic, race, and luxury cars.

The community and youth outreach program hosts numerous events and car shows in Goleta and Santa Barbara, but this is the first time they've drawn a crowd on the wharf. With the help of Logan Goldberg and Omar Khashen, Sunday's event hosted around 60 cars from both locals and out-of-towners.

"Its an amazing day to be out here on Stearns Wharf and getting the community together to connect through cars," said Hot Rod organizer, Kevin Haeberle. "It's just great to have everybody out here checking out what we're doing and how we can give back to the community."

Haeberle says the free, family-friendly event helps spread awareness for the need for vocational arts. The program's mission is to introduce the community and youth to the auto industry, teaching people how build, restore, and fabricate classic cars and race vehicles.

"We also do large car shows and bring everyone together and awareness for our vocational training center that we're trying to put together and that's what the main focus of this is. Raising awareness for the needs and the vocational arts," said Haeberle.

The event was a success thanks to the help of folks at the waterfront and Wharf Business Association. Goldberg says he hopes this is the start of many events on wharf.

The Community Hot Rod Project will be hosting plenty of more shows in the future, including Cars & Community on the last Saturday of each month and Coffee & Classics on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month.

Si en marzo, cuando los Patriots lo tomaron en la sexta ronda del Draft de la NFL, le preguntaban a Andrés Borregales si llegaría al Super Bowl LX, seguramente hubiese sonreído incrédulo.

Borregales nació en Caracas, Venezuela, pero llegó a Estados Unidos a los dos años cuando sus padres emigraron buscando una mejor vida.

Tras un exitoso paso por la secundaria, donde se convirtió en pateador estelar de su escuela, recibió una beca para jugar con los Hurricanes de Miami en el fútbol de la NCAA.

Después de cuatro campañas en Miami fue tomado por Nueva Inglaterra en la ronda seis del Draft 2025, en el puesto 182, y este domingo, con un gol de campo en el tercer cuarto, puso la ventaja definitiva en el marcador para que los Patriots se impusieran por 10 a 7 ante los Broncos de Denver.

Así, se convirtió en el primer venezolano en la historia en clasificarse a un Super Bowl.

(CNN) — Gold prices surged beyond $5,000 per ounce for the first time, as investors rushed to the safe-haven asset as concern spread that US President Donald Trump is upending relations with key allies from Europe to Canada.

In this year’s first 26 days, the price of gold has jumped 15%, building on a record-breaking year in 2025, when prices skyrocketed 65% – the largest annual gain since 1979.

Gold is often seen as a refuge in times of uncertainty and a barometer of market anxiety.

The historic 2026 rally has been driven by a series of market-destabilizing global and domestic moves by Trump, from the now-revoked tariff threats against NATO allies in a bid to absorb Greenland, the military operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, and the criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

Demand has also been driven by a weaker US dollar, higher-than-expected inflation, and predictions the Fed will further cut interest rates this year.

Gold was up 1.4% Sunday to $5,058 a troy ounce, as of 8:14 pm ET.

Silver, another safe-haven asset, rose 4.5% to $107.8 an ounce. This followed a 141% surge in 2025 for its best performance since 1979.
