Gov. Gavin Newsom extended emergency drought declarations to nine additional counties, including Santa Barbara County, Thursday. Of the state’s 58 counties, 50 are under the emergency declaration — or around 42% of the state’s population. The only areas not included are San Francisco and most of Southern California. The governor also signed an executive order, urging all Californians to voluntarily cut their water usage 15%. The order extends beyond residences to commercial and agricultural settings as well. He gave examples of “common sense” reductions, like cutting back on irrigation to plants and only running the dishwasher when it’s full.

The circus, located at Earl Warren Showgrounds in Santa Barbara, is on its second stop this year.

The Lompoc Police Department will launch a new Special Investigations Unit in the coming weeks to address an uptick in violent crime and shootings. The team will consist of three officers — the supervisor who has been with the department for more than 15 years, an officer approaching a decade of working at the department and another officer with three years of experience with Lompoc Police Department. Capt. Kevin Martin emphasized the importance of not limiting the investigations to any specific kind of cases. “Whatever problems the community is experiencing at the time, the team will be addressing those problems,” Capt. Martin told the NewsPress Thursday. He said he hopes to see growth of the team, particularly more officers, in the future — but that is reliant on the city of Lompoc’s budget. He added that violent crime, such as shootings and gang violence, is up, so that will be the Special Investigations Unit’s top priority. “When we get this problem under control, they will no longer just be focused on gangs, and they will maybe do narcotics or human trafficking, anything that the community is experiencing,” Capt. Martin said. “We wanted to provide the community with an investigations unit that wasn’t just going to work on one thing and one thing alone. It will be multifaceted. “Our budget is what it is, so we have to kind of think outside the box and make sure we are addressing the problems the best way we can. And this is the route we’re going.” Identities and photos are not being publicized at this time, according to the department administration.

Economists discuss exodus of California businesses By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Economists from UCSB and UCLA took on the challenge Thursday afternoon of answering a complicated question: Why did California’s population decrease for the first time in history this year? The decrease from January 2020 to January 2021 was a 0.5% decrease, meaning a little more than 182,000 fewer California residents than the previous year. For 10 years straight in California, more domestic residents have left the state than

come in, and it’s happened for five years straight in Santa Barbara, UCSB economics professor Dr. Peter Rupert said. However, Santa Barbara’s population went down even more this year than the state’s did. From January 2020 to January 2021, the county’s population saw a 2.1% decrease. Dr. Rupert said people must keep in mind the declining birth rate, reductions in immigration and an increase in excess deaths from COVID-19. However, Dr. Lee Ohanion, an economics professor at UCLA and the director of the Ettinger Family Program in Macroeconomics Research at

The economist cited the unprecedented amount of growth the state saw in 1960, when the state’s population went from 2% of the U.S. population to 9% of it, from 2 million to 16 million. The population was young, with half of its residents under 24 years of age, meaning relatively few taxpayers who managed to build schools, hospitals, roads and invest in water infrastructure and utilities. Dr. Ohanion said they were able to accomplish those feats because in the 1960s, capital investment was about 25% of the state budget. Now that investment is about 4% of the budget. The economics professor rattled

off statistics about the state’s current infrastructure, technology and housing needs, along with poverty assistance. Regarding infrastructure — in light of the national infrastructure package continuing to be tied up in Congress — California received a D+ grade on its infrastructure from the American Society of Civil Engineers. There are 1,680 dams in risky condition statewide; one of every 18 bridges in the state (around 6%) is structurally deficient; and the Society of Automobile Insurance estimated that the deficient roads in the state cost California drivers $27 billion (14% of last year’s complete

state government budget) annually in repairs and insurance premiums. In Los Angeles, Dr. Ohanion said, nearly 50% of all city sidewalks are not just cracked, but broken. The city faces 400 personal injury litigation cases per year solely from fall injuries that occur on its sidewalks. “The most important function of the government is to protect … These are basic functions that just aren’t getting done, and these numbers are alarming,” Dr. Ohanion said.

the university, said it could be for other reasons, too. He gave a presentation comparing economic and government policy outcomes in California over the years, starting in the 1960s and 70s up to now, in another webinar installment of Dr. Rupert’s Economic Forecast Project. “This is really going to be a story about a growing disconnect between what is expected of the government in terms of accountability and also a disconnect between the priorities of government and the priorities of its citizens,” Dr. Ohanion said to start off his presentation.

Match Group Inc. settles lawsuit Match Group Inc., owner of dating sites including Match.com, PlentyofFish, OkCupid and Tinder, is paying $2 million in civil penalties and costs in addition to victim restitution in the settlement of a consumer protection lawsuit. Santa Barbara County District Attorney Joyce E. Dudley announced the settlement Thursday. Her office was one of the district attorney’s offices that filed the lawsuit as part of the California Auto Renewal Task Force. The lawsuit alleged that Match’s subscription service violated provisions of California’s Automatic Renewal and Dating Service Contract laws. The task force also alleged Match’s signup prompts didn’t clearly disclose the service automatically renews. It also alleged that the cancelation process was unclear and tedious. Match denied these allegations. “California’s automatic renewal laws are intended to protect consumers from hidden and unanticipated recurring charges and to ensure that consumers are able to quickly and easily cancel automatically-renewing subscriptions,” District Attorney Dudley said in a news release. “Companies that violate these laws harm consumers by preventing consumers from making informed choices about how to spend their money. “The Santa Barbara District Attorney’s Office and its CART colleagues will continue to hold companies accountable when they violate these important consumer protection laws.” Match has changed its disclosures and processes in an effort to comply with California’s Automatic Renewal and Dating Service Contract laws.

Resident arrested for human trafficking SANTA MARIA —Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s detectives from the special investigations bureau arrested Raymond Carnell Crandell, 31, of Santa Maria after a three-year human-trafficking investigation. The investigation began in March 2019,

and detectives reported they have uncovered multiple victims of human trafficking, allegedy by the suspect. The district attorney’s office issued a felony complaint warrant for Mr. Crandell this May. He also had an outstanding drug-related warrant from Los Angeles County. Detectives located the suspect Wednesday in Los Angeles and arrested him while he was in a hotel room with an 18-year-old woman, according to the Sheriff’s Office. Detectives believe he was trying to recruit the woman for prostitution. Mr. Crandell is held in a Los Angeles County Jail pending the completion of his court process in Los Angeles. Then he will be transferred to the Santa Barbara County Jail. Bail is set at $1 million and includes one count of human trafficking a minor (felony), seven counts of pimping (felony) and seven counts of pandering (felony). Sheriff’s detectives believe there are additional victims, including juveniles, allegedly contacted by Mr. Crandell in person or through social media. Anyone with information is urged to contact Detective Joshua Cockrell at humantrafficking@sbsheriff.org or 805-6814105. A booking photo will be available once Mr. Crandell is transferred to the Santa Barbara County Jail.

Sheriff’s Office arrests catalytic converter theft suspects CARPINTERIA — Patrol deputies arrested three suspects early Thursday morning on suspicion of stealing catalytic converters. A witness heard the sound of a saw grinding metal and called the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office in suspicion a theft was occurring. Deputies located a vehicle matching the description and found three occupants, two catalytic converters, two reciprocating saws and two car jacks inside the vehicle. Los Angeles residents Rufino Garcia-Vasquez, 39; Gustavo Pineda-Duran, 37 and Samuel Gallegos-Espinoza, 34, are at the Santa Barbara County Jail with charges of possession of stolen property (felony), grand theft (felony), conspiracy (felony) and possession of burglary tools (felony). Mr. Pineda-Duran faces an additional charge of possession of a controlled substance (misdemeanor), and Mr. Gallegos-Espinoza is charged with driving without a license (misdemeanor). The suspects are held on $1 million bail. “We would like to thank the community member for calling to report this crime and for providing a vehicle description and direction of travel,” said Lt. Butch Arnoldi, who serves as the chief of police in Carpinteria, which contracts with the Sheriff’s Office for law enforcement. “This is a great example of community awareness that resulted in the successful apprehension of suspects who often slip away undetected.”

“We all get bored. We just want to move and bring the show to more communities.” Even if that means wrestling with a tent every week and a half or so. Mrs. Arata-Quiroga’s stepfather purchased Circus Vargas after its founder Clifford E. Vargas died. Her stepfather established Circus Vargas as a wandering, European-style circus; she and her husband follow this style today. (She is a seventh-generation circus performer.)

But when the couple took over in 2005, they decided to make the circus an animal-free show and focus on the talented performers instead of majestic creatures. “We proved you can have a traditional circus without animals, and now it’s the norm,” she said. “Everybody is doing it the way we started doing it about 15 years ago.” So, at least they don’t have to travel with elephants anymore — despite a grueling setup process. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

The Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital drive-through vaccination clinic has been slower in recent days.

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The number of Santa Barbara County residents receiving their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine dipped dramatically mid-April and continues to decline (even despite statewide incentives of a $1.5 million lottery). Currently, just over half of the county is fully vaccinated, or 59.3% of those eligible. Dr. Lynn Fitzgibbons, an infectious disease specialist at Cottage Health, predicts the highly contagious Delta variant as well as full FDA approval may play a role in getting more community members inoculated. She hears of a variety of reasons people haven’t yet received the vaccine. “There are a large number of younger, healthier adults and adolescents who do not yet feel that the vaccine is necessary or may not feel it’s necessary with any urgency,” she told the News-Press. “COVID-19 may not have impacted their lives to the severity it has impacted others in the community.” She sees more younger community members currently getting vaccinated at Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital’s drivethrough vaccination clinic, as older residents have already been inoculated. “Having said that, we are still vaccinating people of all ages,” she said. “They are coming through the drive-through just as enthusiastically as people in January.” Those who were previously undecided about the vaccine could’ve been persuaded by the threat of the Delta variant or gained confidence after seeing others go first, she said. The Delta variant is now the dominant strain in California and across the United States. “If I had to predict how the next month or so will go, I do worry that we are facing a surge in cases related to the Delta variant moving through the community,” Dr. Fitzgibbons said. “We are seeing that total case count start to creep up. But while our case counts have crept up

to remove three officers from patrol duties, Capt. Martin said. With the struggles of a smaller budget, certain positions such as the homeless liaison officer, sergeant positions and motor officers were re-assigned to patrol to respond to the increase in 9-1-1 calls. “My goal is to have not only our homeless (issues) officer back out in Lompoc, but also a motor officer back out in Lompoc being proactive,” the captain said, adding that he currently has two officers in training who will be transitioned to those two positions when they graduate. Once violent crime is addressed,

subtly in the past few weeks, the good news is there’s still time,” she said. She particularly encourages partially vaccinated individuals to receive a second dose — even if many weeks have passed since the first shot. She notes, though, fewer people are choosing to forego the second dose. Another recent advancement is the addition of the Community Health Ambassador Program, which educates Spanishspeaking community members to spread accurate information to unreached people. Santa Barbara County’s Hispanic/Latinx population is 38% fully vaccinated, in comparison to 47% of the white population. “I think we’re never done trying to find corners of our community that are less vaccinated,” Dr. Fitzgibbons said. She points out the racial disparities in COVID-19 vaccination and cases in Los Angeles County. Black individuals are more likely to contract severe COVID-19 cases, according to recent data. “I think this is just a reminder that any small population within our community that is undervaccinated is vulnerable,” she said. She is waiting to see if the FDA will approve the Pfizer vaccine for children under the age of 12, which could impact the upcoming school year. “We know the largest group unvaccinated is children,” she said. “And no one wants children to miss another day of school.” Cottage Health will be releasing a new video featuring Dr. Fitzgibbons’s research of the Delta variant at cottagehealth. org/coronavirus-covid-19/updates. The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department reported 13 new COVID-19 cases Thursday, bringing the county’s total to 34,716 COVID-19 cases. Of those, 53 cases are still infectious. Santa Maria detected six cases. It has a cumulative 11,672 COVID-19 cases of which 13 are active. Santa Barbara confirmed two

he said the department will then shift focus to the issues many other communities experience — alcohol abuse, traffic-related issues, mental health issues and more. Taking on Lompoc’s top safety priorities, one at a time, makes up the sole purpose of the Special Investigations Unit, Capt. Martin said. “We cannot be reactive — we have to be proactive,” he said. “The success of policing the

When the numbers are down to the level of only responding to 9-1-1 and radio calls, we’re not being a proactive police department to affect that change. “That’s really an ongoing problem Lompoc has been experiencing for years in staffing and retention.” Similar restructuring is occurring across many police departments, both in Santa Barbara County and in the state and country.

Marymount of Santa Barbara will switch to its new name The Riviera Ridge School at the start of the 2021-2022 school year.

Marymount renamed The Riviera Ridge School BY ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Marymount of Santa Barbara will take on the 2021-2022 school year with a new name: The Riviera Ridge School. The school’s board of trustees and head of school announced the change Thursday. The renaming is part of an effort to clarify the school’s more inclusive identity instead of its history as a Catholic school. The Marymount name is affiliated with Religious of Sacred Heart of Mary schools. The school separated itself from the network more than 50 years ago. School leadership began a 10year plan in 2018, after receiving a seven-year accreditation from the California Association of Independent Schools. Then trustees began reviewing the school’s mission, policies and name.

“This name change represents the natural progression of the school’s evolution,” Alexis Weaver, board of trustees president said in a news release. “With the completion of our 10year strategic plan, the trustees determined it was time to clarify the school’s identity. ‘The Riviera Ridge School’ name reflects its idyllic location on the Santa Barbara Riviera, and speaks to the love of our local community. “And, most importantly, while the name of the school is changing, the school itself remains unchanged. It is the same incredible faculty, staff and school community that have always been the heart of the school.” In 2007, UCSB’s Department of Religious Studies helped Marymount of Santa Barbara expand its focus to include a diverse set of religious, spiritual and ethical principles. The resulting program is named

Kaleidoscope. “While we were founded as a Catholic school over 80 years ago, the school has evolved over the past several decades to be inclusive of all moral and ethical teachings as well as spiritual beliefs,” said Christina Broderick, head of school. “Today, with our signature curricular program, Kaleidoscope, we are proud to be an independent day school, celebrating the diversity of all history, backgrounds, and cultures of our students and families. “Our former name has been a large source of confusion among prospective families and the community at large for many years. It was critical we address this deliberately and decisively. We will, as The Riviera Ridge School, continue to be the home of academic excellence, where we provide an environment that balances the social, emotional and ethical dimensions of teaching and learning to create a future-

proofed skill set.” The school adopted a revised mission, vision and values in 2020. To learn more, go to rivieraridge. org or contact info@rivieraridge. org.

WEBINAR

Continued from Page A1 water pipes are cast iron with a lifespan of 55 years, and they’re 60 years old or older. Most of the California Water project — the most recent major water investment — ended in the early to mid 1970s. Twelve million people later, the state’s water capacity is roughly unchanged, the economist said. Nine of the 10 biggest fires in the state by acreage have occurred in just the last decade as well. One of the biggest issues locally in Santa Barbara and statewide — housing — was also discussed. California is: 49th in construction and affordability; 50% higher in living costs than the national average; home to 10 of the 11 most expensive housing metro areas in the U.S.; and home to 10 of 12 of the most expensive rental markets. The state has the seventh highest electricity costs and the nation’s highest gasoline prices. “When you look at those numbers, it’s perhaps less surprising that 38% of Californians live in poverty as defined by the Bureau of the Census or near poverty,” Dr. Ohanion said. “At least 25% of the country’s homeless are in California. “Fourteen million Californians are on Medicaid … If we just call those 14 million Calfiornains on Medicaid — very low-income people — their own state, they would be the fifth largest state in the United States.” The economist then attempted to answer the question of how it became this way. He first cited the politicization of the environmental

movement, which was borne out of environmental disasters. He said corporate greed led the charge for politicians to ramp up business regulations, labor regulations and more government spending to “do whatever it takes.” Dr. Ohanion pointed out that the California Environmental Quality Act was signed into law by Gov. Ronald Reagan in 1970, adopting “all feasible measures to mitigate environmental impacts of development.” “I don’t say this in a partisan vision,” the economist added. “... Development is naturally going to have environmental impacts ...This really paved the way to begin abandoning fiscal discipline and efficiency of government.” He said the weaponization and politicization of that act put California in this situation. The repeated response of raising income, corporate and sales taxes is overall, he said, why Toyota, Jamba Juice, Nestle, Dole, Charles Schwab and many more large corporations, along with millionaires and billionaires such COURTESY PHOTO

as podcasters and Elon Musk, left the state. This is also why, he said, when the income tax was raised to the highest in the country — 13.3% — the California Legislative Analyst’s Office was off by 60% on its estimation of additional tax revenue, because so many high-

income residents left. Dr. Rupert asked Dr. Ohanion what residents and leaders of Santa Barbara can do locally. Dr. Ohanion’s response was to address one of the city’s biggest hurdles — incentivizing housing development. “Santa Barbara can make it easier and less costly to build housing,” he said. However, homes are Santa Barbara residents’ biggest assets now, and they tend to not have many other assets. “Housing was never meant to be an investment. But it’s become that. So now we have people — and I understand this — trying to protect their investments by saying, ‘You know what, I don’t want a high rise apartment three blocks down the street for me, because it’s going to damage my property value,’” Dr. Ohanion said. “So this is now the headwind that California has to push up against.” Overall, he concluded that Santa Barbara will always be a tourist centric location with highly-skilled medical, legal, financial and technological professionals, but it will probably not get a lot bigger, and “almost certainly remain extremely unaffordable for young people and for people with small incomes.” Overall, the economist said that California isn’t alone, and many other states received bad infrastructure grades and have other problems. “The whole point of today’s presentation was that we’ve lost sight of what the true priorities of good government are, which is protecting us,” he said. “That’s way, way far down on the priority list. If it hadn’t been, we wouldn’t be looking at these D+, and D roads and bridges today.” email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Circus Vargas back in town

Clowns, acrobats, trapeze artists and more perform in Santa Barbara

Circus Vargas is presenting clowns and more as it returns to Santa Barbara for a run Friday through July 19.

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

COURTESY PHOTOS

Katya and Nelson Quiroga are part of multi-generations of circus professionals, and they’ve owned Circus Vargas since 2005.

lifford E. Vargas fell in love with circuses as a little boy. He told his mom he wanted to join a circus. He grew up and did just that and more. Not only did he succeed as a marketing director for a circus, he started his own circus in 1969, and it continues to go on the road from its headquarters in San Bernardino County’s Lucerne Valley. Mr. Vargas’ dream lives on: Circus Vargas. And it’s back in Santa Barbara for a run through July 19 at the Earl Warren Showgrounds, 3400 Calle Real. The first show is 7:30 tonight. After that, the performances will take place during the afternoons and evenings. (See the FYI box.) The animal-free circus features trapeze artists, acrobats, clowns, contortionists, stunt motorcyclists and more. The acts are all part of a big show, which this year is a semi-biographical salute to Mr. Vargas, who died in 1989 at age 64. The performances will be tied together by a narrative featuring a little boy playing Mr. Vargas as a child and another actor portraying him in his adult years, said Katya Quiroga, the circus producer along with her husband, Nelson Quiroga. They’ve owned the circus since 2005. “I was 10 when my parents joined Circus Vargas. My husband was 19 when he joined Circus Vargas. We met at the circus,” Mrs. Quiroga, a seventh-generation circus professional since she was 16, told the News-Press. Mrs. Quiroga said the Circus Vargas staff is excited to be on the road again. The circus opened June 17 and is presenting its first shows since 2019, before the pandemic suspended live performances. Circus Vargas recently wrapped up a run in its

tent at Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo, and now it’s in Santa Barbara, where it has performed previously. During the pandemic, performers in music and theater have presented virtual programs. But Mrs. Quiroga said the circus is something that needs to be experienced in person. “Our vocation is to perform, to give people joy, and we want people to come and see us,” Mrs. Quiroga said. “It’s the live feeling of real people, live music, people you can interact with, and buying cotton candy, nachos, popcorn.” In other words, it’s the roar of the crowd, laughing at the clowns or applauding at amazing feats. And it’s the audience’s silence as it holds its collective breath right before a trapeze artist, acrobat or other performer does something out of this world. Drum roll, please! It’s easy to understand Mrs. Quiroga’s and her husband’s passion for circuses, and it’s a passion being passed on to their family’s eighth generation of circus enthusiasts. Their three daughters — the youngest, Graciella, is 13; the others are young adults — work at Circus Vargas. Daniella, 18, is a contortionist who uses her foot to

shoot with a bow and arrow, and the other, Mariella, in her early 20s, is in a flying trapeze act with her husband, who happens to be a clown, Mrs. Quiroga said. “I love the flying trapeze artists because they’re from all walks of life,” Mrs. Quiroga said. “Some are in the eighth generation of performers, like my daughter and her husband. Some people just came out of school and joined us for the first time. “I used to be a trapeze artist for 25 years,” Mrs. Quiroga said. She grew up in Amsterdam and attended the Conservatorium for Ballet and Music in the Netherlands before deciding to follow in her family’s footsteps and make the circus her career. “The circus is in your blood. You can’t leave the circus,” she said. Mrs. Quiroga said she loves Circus Vargas because of the people — the workers, performers and audience members. “We know that when our customers are happy, that’s what makes us happy,” Mrs. Quiroga said. “That keeps us going, working to create a new show every year — a better show every year.” email: dmason@newspress.com

FYI Circus Vargas will run today through July 19 at Earl Warren Showgrounds, 3400 Calle Real. The first show takes place at 7:30 tonight. After that, performances are scheduled for 1, 4 and 7:30 p.m. Saturdays; 12:30, 3:30 and 7 p.m. Sundays; 6 p.m. Mondays; 7 p.m. Wednesday; 7 p.m. Thursday; 4 and 7:30 p.m. July 16.

Laguna Blanca honors physical education teacher Andra Wilson By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Andra Wilson has received Laguna Blanca’s 2021 Faculty Excellence Award. Ms. Wilson has taught physical education, health, wellness and personal development since 2006 at the school, which has campuses in Hope Ranch in Santa Barbara and Montecito. She also has served as assistant athletic director, P.E. coach at Camp Cito day camp and coordinator of the Middle School Advisory Program for several years. Mostly recently, Ms. Wilson became Laguna’s Challenge Success coordinator. “Andra infuses energy and excitement into every role she has on campus,” Laguna Blanca staff said in a news release. “Her love for health and wellness extends not only to Laguna students but to the faculty and staff as well. She was instrumental to bringing bi-weekly on-campus workouts to campus for

Laguna employees through Reveal Fitness.” During the pandemic, Ms. Wilson helped students before they were allowed back on campus. She presented 20 oneminute virtual fitness challenges that kept students and faculty healthy during the pandemic. “It was the perfect example of her athleticism and the joy she brings to teaching,” Laguna Blanca staff noted. “This year alone, Andra stepped into a multitude of challenges and added COVID responsibilities to her plate in order to best serve her students,” said Melissa Alkire, head of the Upper School. “This was evidenced in the Middle and Upper athletic training program that she began when all other schools in the county were neither in-person nor able to maintain in-person afternoon activities for their school. “Andra’s work across every single grade at Hope Ranch ensured that our students were finding balance and joy after

their early days of remote school,” Ms. Alkire said in the news release. “When sports began, Andra supported Director of Athletics Jason Donnelly fully as he worked to unpack the COVID guidance, which was evolving each week. She was his teammate and demonstrated her strong character in this role.” In addition, Ms. Wilson partnered with Pacific Pride Foundation to hold inclusive conversations about relationships and gender identity. “I wish we could have an entire faculty full of Andras,” colleague Tara Broucqsault said. “She has thrived at each level at Laguna. Her pure heart inspires all those fortunate enough to call her teacher and a trusted colleague.” Ms. Wilson grew up in Malvern, Pa., and earned a bachelor’s in health and physical education at West Chester University in West Chester, Pa. She began her career as a collegiate-certified athletic trainer before completing her Pennsylvania teacher certification

The Santa Barbara-based Mental Wellness Center, in partnership with PBS, is hosting a free virtual event and live panel discussion via Zoom from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. Included will be exclusive preview clips of and conversation about the new PBS documentary series, “Mysteries of Mental Illness,” which explores dramatic attempts across generations to unravel the mysteries of mental illness and give voice to contemporary Americans across a spectrum of experiences. The four-hour documentary series, released in late June on PBS, explores the story of mental illness in science and society and serves as an anchor for an ambitious national initiative focused on destigmatizing mental illness in America.

Tips given on the stingray shuffle Beachgoers entering the water should be on the alert for stingrays. Rays like to hide just under the sand in shallow, warm water and can deliver a painful surprise when disturbed, as Cottage Health noted in a news release. To avoid a stingray, swimmers

should shuffle their feet and avoid stomping as they get into the water. The “sting” from a ray results in a wound that is similar to being jabbed with a pointy and serrated knife, and a toxic venom enters the skin (a process called envenomation). While the sting wound tends to be small, the

level of pain can be very intense and immediate. Swelling and discoloration also can occur. Doctors recommend soaking the injured area in hot water for 60 to 90 minutes and getting medical attention right away. The stingray’s barb sometimes can break off and remain embedded in the skin and, if left untreated,

an infection can occur. A doctor may be needed to remove the barb. This summer safety tip was provided by Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital’s Level I Trauma Center. See more tips at cottagehealth.org/summertips. — Marilyn McMahon

Diversions horoscope • puzzles

“Travel becomes a strategy for accumulating photographs.” — Susan Sontag

ARIES — Everyone has impulsively bought something without really thinking about it first. As far as you’re concerned, Aries, it happens a little more often than it should. Have you looked at your closet full of the clothes you never wear? Why do you keep them? Is it reassuring? Don’t get caught up in fashion crazes. Try to be more careful with your money. TAURUS — You’re in tune with the atmosphere around you today because of your tolerance, humanity, and the respect you have for everyone, no matter what their position in society or intellectual capacity. Generosity is coming alive inside you, Taurus. The one thing you want to do is understand the people close to you. Support them and show them that they can count on you. GEMINI — If you tend to be a little anxious about solitude, Gemini, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re dependent on the people close to you. That isn’t the only contradictory thing about your behavior. You tend to want to bring people together while keeping your distance. From now on, you should try to be a little clearer in your relationships. CANCER — Sometimes it’s hard for you to believe something unless you see it firsthand, Cancer. However, the period you’re in now may be pushing you to try and understand some of the mysteries on faith. Though you probably aren’t one to do this very often, you may be feeling some kind of mystical impulse that makes you think about the nature of your beliefs. LEO — Love is in the air, Leo! You may encounter some wonderfully passionate situations today. You’re ready to live these marvelously rich and emotional experiences to the fullest. Put your doubts and insecurities away for the time being. Lose yourself in pleasure and the unknown. Have a great time! VIRGO — Today’s powerful astral phenomena will encourage you to develop your skill as a visionary, Virgo, no matter what you do with your day. You’re one of those rare people who can sense before anyone else the changes that will happen Monday, November 16, feelings 2015 in the world. Let these encourage you. Use them to

believe in tomorrow. LIBRA — It’s time to get down to work, Libra. At the moment, you can’t depend solely on your natural creativity, spontaneity, imagination, and originality to get by. You need to demonstrate a certain amount of pragmatism and self-discipline to reach your goals. This will certainly seem more difficult than it really is. It’s time to have faith in attributes other than your intuition. SCORPIO — What do you want? It isn’t always easy to live with others, Scorpio. You may ask too much of the people close to you and not be able to stand it when they don’t live up to your high expectations. Your idealism makes it hard for you to compromise. This attitude can cause conflict and make you hard to live with. Change it. SAGITTARIUS — It’s possible you took a chance on someone who has disappointed you, Sagittarius. You were especially tolerant and patient, but now it’s time to finally settle things and put your cards on the table. Don’t be afraid to do what you have to do in order to protect yourself and the people you love. CAPRICORN — Have been letting yourself go lately, Capricorn? Now it’s time to take better care of your body. This new initiative will make you feel happier and more ready to tackle life again. You may hesitate over whether or not you should try some of the alternative medicines that you hear about. This is only a small dilemma. Be glad you’ve finally decided to live a healthier lifestyle. AQUARIUS — Have you recently lost some faith in the future, Aquarius? Isn’t it time to do something about it, especially where your personal life is concerned? You could find the answers to these questions if you’d take a second look at the quality of your close relationships. Who knows? Love might give you back your enthusiasm for life. PISCES — If you have a tendency to do a little too much dreaming, reality could catch up with you now. The time has come to react immediately, Pisces. Certain financial or professional goals may see some delays. You need to figure out how to get things going again in a more concrete and secure direction. Don’t let anything get past you today.

Codeword is a fun game with simple rules, and a great way to test your knowledge of the English language. 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.
