Goleta picks electoral districts map City council selects Plan 701, will hold one more hearing Feb. 24 before adoption vote in March

By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Goleta City Council Thursday evening unanimously picked the city’s first electoral districts map. Up next is one more hearing this month, then a vote in March on whether to officially adopt the map. Approval would mark the first time in Goleta’s history that city council members are assigned to specific districts. The council Thursday selected Plan 701, drafted by the National Demographers Corp. The map has the northwest district minimally crossing Highway 101 up to Hollister

Avenue. It also puts Bishop Ranch into the northeast district, labeled District 3 on the map. This plan proposes the two eastern districts up for election in 2022 with the western districts up for election in 2024. Two city council members will continue to serve at large until 2024. The total population deviation for Plan 701 is 9.2%. Population deviation refers to the difference in population sizes among the districts. Mayor Paula Perotte said she preferred Plan 701 because of its “simplicity.” And Councilmember James

Kyriaco said he wanted to keep the business parks on either side of Hollister Avenue in one district, which the proposal does. “I like the idea of keeping Old Town with new tech,” Mr. Kyriaco said. “I like the continuity of that and the story it tells.” The council had also considered Plan 206 during the special hearing Thursday evening. That plan put Bishop Ranch into what has been labeled District 1 with North Los Carneros Road serving as the boundary. But it also expanded District 2 further east to include business parks, Target and the post office.

Mayor Pro Tempore Stuart Kasdin said he preferred Plan 206 because he thought Bishop Ranch belonged in what was labeled District 1. He also said it would make more sense to keep Target in the same district with the Camino Real Marketplace — which Plan 206 would accomplish. Mr. Kasdin conceded Plan 701 was “still a good map,” however, and voted for the proposal. The next public hearing is scheduled for Feb. 24 with a plan to return on March 1 to formally adopt the map and election sequencing. The effort to change how council members are elected began in 2017

with the city agreeing to draw a new district map in time for the November 2022 elections. “A lot of things will be the same as they were” after redistricting, Kristy Schmidt, the assistant city manager, told the News-Press earlier this week. “Certainly from a staff standpoint, we’ve always taken direction from a majority of the city council and will continue to do so.” “This is more of a political process than an operational process,” Ms. Schmidt said. “From the public’s point of view, it really is about representation and having perhaps a closer relationship with their representative on their

NEWS-PRESS EXCLUSIVE

High school students at Laguna Blanca present 18 speakers

High school students at Laguna Blanca hosted 18 speakers Wednesday during a TEDx talk event that dived “Beneath the Surface,” the theme for the private Santa Barbara school’s 16 talks. (A ceramics session had three speakers.) Students in charge of the event said the program was about the students challenging themselves to go “beneath the surface” of emotion, thought and understanding. The theme was embodied by the event’s logo: an iceberg. Popular speakers at TEDx talk included student Molly Morouse, who spoke on how she overcame her stuttering and how everyone has their own version of a stutter to overcome. Also popular with the audience was Maura Jaye, who performed two songs from her EP, which will be released in the upcoming months, and discussed different levels of music and music creation. Her talk was titled, ““Music Creation: Are We Really Listening?” And the audience enjoyed a performance by magician Danny

council.” According to a presentation given to the council Tuesday, districts must be drawn to include equal population — not to exceed a 10% adjustment — or the map could be declared unconstitutional. The presentation also noted that racial gerrymandering should be avoided. Goleta first adopted its resolution of intent in May 2017 to transition from an at-large system to bydistrict system by the November 2022 elections — ensuring the 2020 census data could be utilized to draw more up-to-date maps.

Longtime pilot James Walsh was on cloud nine Thursday, and he didn’t even need an airplane. The 85-year-old Santa Barbara resident was paid a visit by an FAA representative, who gave him the agency’s most prestigious award, one given to pilots with at least 50 years of flying time. Brian M. Ashton, the FAASTeam program manager from the FAA office in Van Nuys, presented him with the Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award. The award was presented to Mr. Walsh in his home’s museum of World War I and II aviation memorabilia from the U.S., Germany, Italy, Soviet Union and Japan. Mr. Walsh has collected everything from pilots’ gear to the instrument panel of a P-51 Mustang, the fighter bomber used during World War II. He has everything from a parachute to figurines to magazines to a U.S. sector sign from the post World War II days of a divided Berlin.

He also has many model airplanes, and he held one as Mr. Ashton read him a letter recognizing his long service as a pilot. By the way, Mr. Walsh still likes to fly a single-engine plane around Southern California. On this day, Mr. Walsh was all smiles with the FAA’s recognition. The St. Louis native received the award as his wife, Christine Walsh, and a friend watched. The News-Press was the only media there during the informal ceremony, which was followed by a proud Mr. Walsh giving everyone a tour of his museum, which extends through several rooms and into his garage. “The FAA recognizes pilots who have been flying 50 or more years with the Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award,” Mr. Ashton said during the ceremony, reading a letter from the FAA. He said the 50-year period begins with a pilot’s first solo flight. Mr. Ashton noted the award was the FAA’s prestigious award and is named after Orville and Please see PILOT on A4

Sheriff’s office reports COVID-19 numbers at Main Jail SANTA BARBARA — There are seven remaining COVID-positive inmates associated with the outbreak that began Dec. 8 at the Santa Barbara County Main Jail. No new cases have been identified since the last update on Tuesday, according to Raquel Zick, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s

Office public information officer. There has been a total of 252 cases in this outbreak, which includes seven active cases, 240 recovered cases and five inmates who were released, Ms. Zick said. She noted one COVID-positive inmate from the Northern Branch Jail near Santa Maria has been

transferred to the Main Jail, which is in Santa Barbara. That inmate is not included in the totals cited by the sheriff’s office. All COVID-positive inmates are continuously monitored by custody staff and the sheriff’s office’s Wellpath partners. There are no inmates currently

hospitalized because of this outbreak. Forty-eight inmates have reported being symptomatic, 203 are asymptomatic, and one inmate declined to comment about the presence or absence of symptoms. — Dave Mason

FDA issues warning about two COVID-19 tests By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Food and Drug Administration recently issued a warning to stop using Empowered Diagnostics CovClear COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test and the ImmunoPass COVID-19 Neutralizing Antibody Rapid Test. “Empowered Diagnostics is recalling the CovClear COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test and the ImmunoPass COVID-19 Neutralizing Antibody Rapid Test, and the FDA has identified this issue as a Class I recall, the most serious type of recall,” according to an FDA news release. “These tests were distributed with labeling indicating they are authorized by the FDA, but neither test has been authorized, cleared or approved by the FDA for distribution or use in the United States,” according to the press release. Maria Zate of Cottage Health told the News-Press that neither of these tests have been distributed by the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department. The health department did not respond to the News-Press’s request for comment. In its news release, the FDA emphasized its concerns about the increased likelihood of false results from an unauthorized test. Test users and caregivers who used one of the tests should talk to their healthcare providers if

they have concerns about their results, according to the FDA. The agency said people should get re-tested if they used the CovClear COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test less than two weeks. If people were tested more than two weeks ago, there is no reason to re-test unless there is reason to suspect infection, according to the FDA. If you used the ImmunoPass COVID-19 Neutralizing Antibody Rapid Test, get a re-test if you suspect a recent or prior infection, the FDA said. The CovClear COVID-29 Rapid Anitgen Test uses a nasal swab to detect antigens. And the ImmunoPass COVID-19 Neutralizing Antibody Rapid Test uses a fingerstick blood sample to detect antibodies. A false-negative result of the antigen test says someone does not have COVID-19 when the person is indeed infected. According to the FDA, a false negative could lead to delayed diagnosis or inappropriate treatment, which could cause serious illness and even death. And the agency said the false negatives could also cause the further spread of the virus. A false negative says that the person does not have antibodies, when in fact they do. The FDA encourages people to report any problems with the tests at www.accessdata.fda. gov/scripts/medwatch/index. cfm?action=reporting.home. email; kzhender@newspress.com

Deadline approaches for youth symphony competition SANTA BARBARA — Sunday’s the deadline for applications for the annual Santa Barbara Youth Symphony Concerto competition, in which the winner gets to be a soloist with the youth orchestra. The deadline was announced in a news release sent Thursday to the News-Press.

The competition is open to students currently enrolled in the Santa Barbara Youth Symphony as well as any student up to age 18 residing in Santa Barbara County studying an instrument outside of the typical orchestral realm, including piano, classical guitar or Baroque instruments. (There’s

a $50 application fee required for students not in the youth symphony.) The students will be evaluated by a jury chaired by Nir Kabaretti, the Santa Barbara Symphony’ music and artistic director. Also on the jury of professional musicians and educators are Dr. Yvette Devereaux, the youth

symphony conductor; a member of the Westmont College Music Department faculty and a Santa Barbara Symphony principal musician. For more information, go to www. thesymphony.org. — Dave Mason

TEDX

Continued from Page A1 Ray. In addition, Tavis Boise of the nonprofit Friendship Paddle gave a talk entitled “Kids Helping Kids: Building Community on the Water.” Wednesday’s TEDx event was the culmination of students’ work in a TEDx elective class that Laguna Blanca has offered its high school students since 2018. “I think what makes this elective incredible and unique is that everything you are doing transfers to real world skills, that you are building and learning as you go. I know I’m going to be using these skills and experience as I go into college and find a job,” Frances Carlson, one of the event’s co-executive producers, told the News-Press. The other co-executive producers are fellow seniors Sofia Anderson and Catie Fristoe. While this year’s event was held in person, there were modifications because of COVID-19. Instead of 100 in-person tickets being sold to the community, a livestream option was provided. The TEDx elective is structured in two parts with the first semester culminating with the event itself. The second semester is independent study. The TEDx talk wasn’t held in 2021 because of the pandemic, so the entire school year consisted of independent study. “During COVID-19, students participated in independent studies consisting of weekly lunch discussions on how to move forward during covid times, as well as how to build and make the program better,” Sofia told the News-Press. This year, she said she’s grateful to have learned skills gained during the TEDx class and “to be able to work with our faculty leads and work alongside our peers to create this event. As well as to see the impact of each event on the students.” Frances shares Sofia’s passion for the TEDx program. “We bring all these speakers together for one day and then spread these ideas as much as we can,” Frances said. “That kind of positive change is what we are looking to get and what we want to inspire in other people.” email: kzhender@newspress.com

Los Angeles Rams linebacker visits Cate School By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Los Angeles Rams linebacker Von Miller came up to Carpinteria to meet with a team whose name he likes. The Cate School Rams. Miller, who’s bound for the Super Bowl after his Rams defeated the San Francisco 49ers Sunday and became the NFC champions, appeared early this week at Cate School to celebrate Black History month, answer questions and, of course, meet with the Cate School Rams.

The local team doesn’t need to wait until the Super Bowl to declare a championship. The Cate School Rams won the school’s first CIF Division I 8-Man Football Championship. According to a news release, Cate junior Carlo Kim asked Miller, the Super Bowl 50 Most Valuable Player, about his life and career. Miller did have a Plan B if he didn’t succeed at football: poultry farming. In fact, he majored in poultry science at Texas A&M. “Thank God, I made it to the NFL,” Miller joked at Cate

School, according to the news release. The Kim family and Kyle Mason, Cate School’s director of outreach and recruitment and the head track and field coach, worked together to organize the event. Mason said Cate was honored to have Miller on campus to celebrate Black History Month. “He has affected change on so many levels beyond football and does so much more than what we know him for.” Miller started Von’s Vision to help low-income students

get eye care. The linebacker worked to overcome his own vision problems and asthma. Miller said he tried to help one or two children as he began Von’s Vision and that today his organization has raised millions of dollars in eyewear. “It’s an honor and a privilege to start Von’s Vision and for it to have the type of impact that it has.” After the Q&A, Miller posed for photos, signed autographs and stood in a photo with the Cate School Rams. email: dmason@newspress.com

Oxnard beats SBCC in close men’s basketball game By MICHAEL JORGENSON SBCC SPORTS WRITER

Hosting Oxnard on Wednesday, the Santa Barbara City College men’s basketball team battled back from a 20-point second half deficit, falling just short with a chance to tie the game in the final moments, 65-60. Brycyn Gossett (14 points) and Billy Whitting (11) led the team in scoring. Both forwards enjoyed efficient shooting nights as Gossett hit 6-of-8 from the field and Whitting was 5-for-9. The Vaqueros (7-15, 2-6) trailed

63-54 with less than five minutes remaining. Guard Elijah Simpson beat the shot clock with a tough layup inside. That started a 6-0 Vaquero run in which the Condors (5-10, 1-4) were held scoreless for more than four and a half minutes. SBCC got back-to-back stops in the final minute and Gossett fought to the ground for the rebound that gave the Vaqueros the ball with 21 seconds left down by three. Out of the timeout, Whitting found himself open from 15-feet away, but his jumper rimmed out and Oxnard put the game away at the line.

Santa Barbara held Oxnard to just 31 percent shooting over the final 20 minutes. Starters Adam Weingard and Elijah Simpson had eight points apiece, and forward Jon Pearson added six off the bench. The Condors initially took control of the game with a 20-2 run in the first half. They went into the break leading 41-25 after knocking down four more threes than the home side. The Vaqueros trailed 49-29 at the 17:27 mark of the second half, but looked like a different team the rest of the way. Their

increased defensive effort and hustle helped spark a 19-2 spurt. Pearson hit a stepback three to beat the shot clock and capped the run with another jumper to make it just a two-point game, 5351, with 9:28 to go, but that was the closest SBCC would be the rest of the way. This Saturday, the Vaqueros head back on the road to play at Cuesta. Tipoff is at 5 p.m. Michael Jorgenson works in communications/media relations at Santa Barbara City College. email: sports@newspress.com.

SBCC sets new season-high during win over Oxnard in women’s basketball By MICHAEL JORGENSON SBCC SPORTS WRITER

The Santa Barbara City College women’s basketball team scored at least 15 points in all four quarters Wednesday night, setting a new season-high in points with a 73-56 win over Oxnard. With their fifth straight home win, the Vaqueros (10-11, 5-2) have now started 5-2 in WSC play for the first time since the 2012-13 season, currently a half game back of Ventura (6-2) for the second-best mark in the conference. The trio of forwards Trinity Scott (17 points), Lia Rodriguez (15) and Asia Kirven (12) led the way at the

The award also includes images of the Wright flier, which Mr. Ashton said “represents the aviation industry’s proud past” and a space plane that represents aviation’s bright future. Mr. Ashton noted the award, which goes to U.S. citizens with

home game as SBCC made more field goals (30) than it has in any other game this year. As a team, Santa Barbara shot 42.9% and set a WSC-best shooting 30 percent (6/20 3FG) from distance. The Vaqueros opened the night with an 18-6 first quarter, capped off by an offensive rebound and buzzer beating putback in the paint by Kirven. The Condors (5-12, 0-7) outscored SBCC 22-17 in the second, the only quarter that the visitors would win. A fast-paced third saw the Vaqueros score 23 points, their most in any quarter, as they shot 50% from inside (10/20 FG) and out (3/6 3FG). They recorded an assist on all

10 baskets in the period. It was still just an eight point game late in the third, but SBCC embarked on a 14-2 run to go up 6949, sealing the victory. After turning the ball over at least 20 times in each of its first 14 games, Santa Barbara has cleaned things up recently. The Vaqueros had 19 turnovers on Wednesday, making it three straight games with under 20 giveaways. They are averaging just 16.3 per game over that stretch, compared to 24.4 for the entire season. Asia Kirven (12 points) notched her third double-double of the year, leading all players with a seasonhigh 13 rebounds. It was her third

double-digit performance on the glass in the last six games. Guards Isabella Jensen Williams and Brianna Jacobs finished with eight and seven points, respectively. SBCC is now 6-1 at the Sports Pavilion this year. With one more conference or home win, the Vaqueros will match their highest total in the last 10 years for either category. Their 2021-22 campaign continues this Saturday in a 7 p.m. road matchup at Cuesta. Michael Jorgenson works in communications/media relations at Santa Barbara City College.

the proper aviation certification, recognizes pilots’ knowledge of aviation and their commitment to safety. “Jim, you’ve been a pilot for a long time,” Mr. Ashton told Mr. Walsh. “As a general aviation pilot, you have flown all around this country and in other countries. “You have shared your enthusiasm, commitment and love of aviation with many people,” Mr. Ashton said, noting Mr. Walsh’s love for airplanes was evident in his home museum. “You’ve achieved an incredible milestone and are deserving of this award.

It is fitting that you receive it with family and friends. “So on behalf of the administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration and the manager of the Van Nuys FSDO (Flight Standards District Office), it is my honor to present to you, the Master Pilot Award,” he said. “There you go,” he said, handing it to him. Mrs. Walsh and Mr. Walsh’s friend immediately cheered. Mrs. Walsh applauded. “Thank you, Brian!” Mr. Walsh said, his smile constant. “Congratulations,” Mr. Ashton

said. Mr. Ashton also gave Mr. Walsh the first temporary aviation certificate that was issued to him in May 1971. “Remember that?” He also gave Mr. Walsh a file of the paperwork that the pilot submitted to the FAA over the years. Mr. Ashton said Mr. Walsh can go through the papers and say, “I remember filling that out.” More about Mr. Walsh and his detailed museum will appear later in the News-Press.

The healing power of plants

Ojai plant guide writes new book about California’s medicinal herbs By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

ative plant guide and Ojai author Lanny Kaufer will launch his new book, “Medicinal Herbs of California: A Field Guide to Common Healing Plants” (Falcon Guides, $26.95) Saturday at the Ojai Valley Museum. The book launch is a free event and will kick off with a lecture on medicinal plants in the museum’s Chumash Garden. No reservations are required for the event, set for 1:30 p.m. at the museum, 130 W. Ojai Ave., Ojai. In addition to his lecture, Mr. Kaufer will autograph his new book, which will be available for purchase. The author has been leading herb walks in Southern California since 1976. And most of the plants in the book are native to California. Some are exclusive to California, but most are found as well in neighboring states. “I tried to find a common ground between plants that have a long history of use and those with the scientific data to support those uses,” Mr. Kaufer told the NewsPress. “These plants are common enough to consider collecting (them) where legal to do so,” he explained. His book discusses the herbs and the need to research them further and include them in the U.S. Pharmacopeia. His book has 350 citations on studies. The author said “Medicinal Herbs of California” is the first field guide to focus exclusively on the state’s medicinal plants. The book introduces the principles of herbal remedies and guides readers through finding, harvesting, cultivating and incorporating more than 70 locally abundant medicinal plants into daily life. Complete with color photos and detailed descriptions of each medicinal herb, conservation status and recipes to put their botanical healing power to work, this guide is designed as an addition to the California herbalist’s bookshelf and forager’s backpack. The book includes information on the indigenous uses of plants along with the current science explaining the pharmacology of the plants that validates the

traditional uses. White sage, which is mentioned in the book, is an example of an herb that is found only between Baja California and San Luis Obispo. It is used as an antibacterial. Additionally, it is used as a pain reliever and an anti-anxiety treatment, Mr. Kaufer said. White sage can be used internally or externally. It can be used as a tea or as a microdose such as putting a leaf in your water bottle. Mr. Kaufer said a full dose would be about a teaspoon of the herb in a cup of water. Another example is the prickly pear, which is not exclusive to California but is found throughout the whole country and in Mexico. There are about 150 species of the prickly pear in the U.S., including 14 species that are native to California. One species is unique to this state. Mr. Kaufer said the prickly pear’s best identified medicinal use is in treating Type II diabetes. According to a 1988 report by Mexican researchers, it was found to cause a decrease in glucose absorption. “Any herb that has demonstrated to reduce the severity and length of time for common cold, deserves to be studied for the treatment of COVID-19, because the common cold is also a coronavirus,” Mr. Kaufer told the News-Press. Another of the book’s herbs that meets Mr. Kaufer’s standard is elderberry, which is used for antiflu and anti-cold treatment. Elderberry is found in almost every state. One of the unique things about elderberry is that it is considered to be native to everywhere it is found. Elderberry is one of the plants that is found in the Chumash garden. Other plants found in that garden include mugwort and toyon, according to “Medicinal Herbs of California.” Mugwort is primarily used for menstrual cramps both as a tea and in bath water. Toyon currently has round red berries on it. Mr. Kaufer said toyon is a bush with berries that are ripe in December, January and February and was used by the Chumash to treat Alzheimer’s and dementia. It contains an anti-inflammatory compound. email: kzhender@newspress.com

The Lynda Fairly Carpinteria Arts Center will receive a $50,000 American Rescue Plan grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to help it recover from the pandemic. The funds will be used to support two staff positions that are critical to their programming: operations specialist and outreach director. “We are deeply honored to be one of the 56 recipients of the NEA Grants awarded in California and the only organization between Los Angeles and the Bay Area to receive this generous funding,” said Linda Rosso, the center’s executive director. “Just 11 months after opening our newly renovated Charles Lo Bue Gallery and Arts Center, we faced significant challenges due to the pandemic, forcing us to close our doors in March 2020. In efforts to continue to engage with our growing audience, we immediately transitioned our

offerings to a virtual platform with a record number of participants. “Our adult and youth classes were offered online via Zoom with no cost to participants. As a result, the Arts Center did not earn any income from class fees and operated at a loss although we continued to pay our teaching artists their full fees. “In April 2021, we successfully transitioned all our programs back to in-person activities, and the NEA funds will greatly benefit us as we continue to offer highly acclaimed programming such as exhibitions, arts education, workshops, concerts, community receptions, Teen Mural Project, Artists Studio Tours and the Arts by the Sea Summer Youth Camp.” During the pandemic, the Arts Center also offered creative

projects to engage the entire community such as Signs of Hope, Postcards from the Pandemic, Mask up Carp, Bookmarks for Seniors and the RockStar Garden. The American Rescue Plan was signed into law in March 2021 when the NEA was provided $135 million for the arts sector. This funding for organizations is the third installment providing more than $57.7 million for arts organizations. “The success of the Carpinteria Arts Center lies with its public engagement and giving our community what it needs,” Mayor Wade Nomura said. “When we were dealing with the pandemic, the Arts Center supported the Chalk Art project that uplifted our city with beautiful and creative art. They continue to come up with creative ideas and events we all enjoy. With the daily reminders of the pandemic, we need an outlet to get us back on track and feeling good, and the Arts Center is doing just that.” email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

He also volunteers with the Carpinteria Arts Commission. Mr. Price, a trumpet player, grew up in Cooperstown, N.Y., and after graduation enlisted in the US Army, where he met his future wife, Lisa Pekkanen, a trombone player from Carpinteria.The first few years of their marriage were spent in college developing their

professional careers outside of Carpinteria In 1991, they moved back home to Carpinteria, where they raised their two children. As a musical artist, Mr. Price has performed on a multitude of stages from Santa Maria to Solana Beach to Oahu with local bands including South on Linden, The Upbeat, SoLuna, The Brewery Boyz, The Flashbacks and the SBCC Good Times Jazz Band. “We are fortunate to have such a passionate volunteer leadership team working together to create and execute our vision for the Community Arts Center,” said Linda Rosso, executive director. “For 20 years, our board of directors has inspired creativity by providing a diverse menu of cultural exhibits, innovative workshops, educational programs and special events that enrich the lives of the young and the young at heart.” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

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.

it comes to taking on a project or making plans today, Libra. Extra energy will complement your organizational skills, making the perfect combination to handle almost anything. Be sure to write down your goals and plans to help keep you focused. If you decide to tackle any cleaning today, get rid of the things you never use. SCORPIO — Today should go well for you, Scorpio. Expect to feel a renewed energy and perspective on things, especially those that are work related. Make the most of this by working toward finishing projects that are waiting for you or by cleaning and organizing your desk or broom closet. SAGITTARIUS — Today you may notice that you’re feeling very creative and ambitious, Sagittarius. You might want to use these strengths to work directly on an artistic project. Or you may choose to channel that energy into activities like organizing your home or workspace. If you plan it out, there should be plenty of time to get to both if you have a mind to. Make the most of the day! CAPRICORN — Don’t be surprised if you wake up feeling super today, Capricorn. Chances are good that you’ll feel a renewed physical strength with energy to spare. That said, it might be a good day to tackle any projects that require you to use some muscle. Perhaps there’s some yard work that needs to be done or furniture you want to move around. AQUARIUS — The effect from the planetary aspects will bring an end to any lethargy you’ve been feeling, Aquarius. It’s an excellent day to get up and head into the open to do something active. Walking, running, or going on a hike can make great use of both your energy and creativity. PISCES — Take charge of your overall health today, Pisces. You’ll likely wake up feeling energetic and well. Seize this opportunity to be active in doing things that will help continue your good feelings. Consider all aspects of your health, including emotional and spiritual. If you can, sit outside in the sunshine and fresh air to consider the areas of your life that could use a workout.

HOROSCOPE ARIES — If there’s something crafty or artsy you’ve had your eye on and would really like to get but can’t afford, Aries, consider making it. Even if you don’t consider yourself artistic, you may surprise yourself if you give a project half a chance. There are numerous websites that cater to novices and can give you the support and instruction you need. TAURUS — It’s the perfect day to get up and head outside, Taurus. You’ll likely find yourself feeling positive and energetic, and some fresh air, sunshine, and physical activity may be long overdue. Even if this is a workday for you, make the most of your breaks and lunch hour by walking. GEMINI — It won’t be surprising if you find yourself getting frustrated with a close friend or partner today who is far less ambitious than you, Gemini. The energy in the air can really emphasize your “go, go, go” way of reaching goals and achieving success. Others who are passive or fearful in this area may be difficult to understand. CANCER — See about using your good relationships with friends and loved ones today to get some group activities going, Cancer. Chances are you’ll feel pretty good and the idea of socializing will appeal to you. See about inviting people over for supper or a game of cards. LEO — If you’re lacking a regular exercise routine, Leo, today’s a great day to turn that around. Exercise doesn’t have to wear you out or hurt. Even relaxing activities like walking or yoga are excellent ways to keep you in good shape. Participating in a sport that appeals to you like volleyball or bowling combines fun with exercise. VIRGO — Put your ambition into action today, Virgo. The day’s planetary aspects should find you feeling energetic and positive. Make the most of this by taking steps toward your goals. As you know, if you don’t actively pursue things, nothing will happen. The years can pass by so quickly and you wouldn’t want to be sitting on a rocker wondering “what if.” LIBRA — Don’t hesitate when

California requests Congress waive clawback for some unemployment overpayment By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER

(The Center Square) — Some Californians who received an overpayment of federal unemployment money may not have to pay back benefits under a request from state officials on Wednesday. Officials from the California Employment Development Department joined other states Wednesday in asking the federal government to waive the requirement for people to pay back unemployment money they may not have been eligible to receive if the overpayment was not the claimant’s fault. “California is asking the federal government to waive overpayments for those who received federal benefits through no fault of their own,” said Nancy Farias, director of the state Employment Development Department. “We need to continue supporting those who struggled during this pandemic.” Under federal law, claimants who received unemployment payments they were ineligible for must return those funds to the government. States can,

however, waive the overpayments if the person was not at fault, though proving fault remains a challenge due to the “complexity of the unprecedented emergency federal programs” and their extensions, the EDD said Wednesday. The EDD noted that some claimants may have faced some confusion about whether income verification required them to provide gross or net income, which could have led to overpaid benefits. In response to these situations, California joined every state in the nation and the National Association of State Workforce Agencies on Wednesday to ask Congress to waive non-fraudulent unemployment overpayments. “As a result of numerous changes in guidance from the U.S. Department of Labor since the original passage of the CARES Act, in addition to the eligibility changes brought about in the Continued Assistance Act, many individuals who received pandemic UI assistance are now seeing their benefits changed to overpayments — requiring them to repay these funds, which they received through no fault of

their own,” a letter sent to federal officials states. “A current and consistent waiver process is not available in all states and federal action is necessary to prevent further hardships on these individuals.” California’s EDD said Wednesday it would offer opportunities to waive overpayments if the claimant was not at fault for the overpaid amount and if the claim was not fraudulent. However, the department did note that it will still seek prosecution in cases involving criminal fraud. Last year, the EDD estimated paying about $20 billion in fraudulent unemployment benefits during the pandemic to criminals. In November, the EDD notified claimants who received federal Pandemic Unemployment Assistance that they must prove they were qualified to receive benefits or risk having to pay back benefits. The notices were sent out to about 1.4 million people, and as of last week, only one in five had responded thus far, according to the EDD. Madison Hirneisen covers California for The Center Square.

The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the high bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveyancing fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment.
