SB individuals to be tested for omicron variant Dr. Henning Ansorg says the two residents came in contact with infected San Francisco resident; 10 cases confirmed across the U.S., now located in five states

Dr. Henning Ansorg, the Santa Barbara County public health officer, said Thursday that two Santa Barbara individuals will be tested in three to five days for the omicron variant.
Two Santa Barbara individuals reportedly came into contact with the San Francisco resident who tested positive in the nation’s first confirmed case of the omicron variant. The individuals were on a flight with the San Francisco resident, Dr. Henning Ansorg, the Santa Barbara County public health officer, told the News-Press in a story that originally appeared late Thursday morning at newspress. com ahead of other media outlets. “They were in contact with the person who tested positive,” Dr. Ansorg told the News-Press. He said the Santa Barbara
residents have been asked to selfquarantine at home. “They will be tested in three to five days.” Dr. Ansorg said he didn’t know which flight the Santa Barbara residents were on or whether they were on a connecting flight. The infected San Francisco resident recently returned from South Africa, one of the eight southern African countries where the omicron COVID-19 variant was originally identified. It has since been identified in other countries. And on Thursday, more confirmed omicron cases were reported in California (Los Angeles County, one person), Minnesota (one), New York state (five), Colorado (one) and Hawaii (one). With the San Francisco
resident, that means a total of 10 cases when the News-Press went to press Thursday evening. The Los Angeles County Public Health Department reported a resident of that county tested positive after returning from South Africa. The department also said the individual came into contact with a few people, all of whom tested negative. In another development Thursday, Dr. Ansorg told the News-Press that Santa Barbara County’s indoor mask mandate, scheduled to expire today, will be extended for another 30 days because the county remains around 10 cases per 100,000 people. “We’re still in substantial
community transmission,” he said. “The last couple days, the numbers have looked better, but I think they are not quite realistic because of the lag of results after the long holiday weekend,” Dr. Ansorg said. The county Public Health Department plans to end the indoor mask mandate when the number falls to six cases per 100,000 and remains there for two weeks. Dr. Ansorg added that the indoor mask mandate is a good idea in light of the omicron variant, which didn’t surprise the public health officer with its appearance in the U.S. “With people traveling all over and the fact this particular variant

New chapter for Fiddlestix Vineyards
Legislation targets orphaned well in Summerland Oil Field and elsewhere The California State Lands Commission is in the process of capping one of the nearly 200 orphaned oil and gas wells it deems at risk of leaking into the ocean off of Santa Barbara County. Orphaned wells are inactive drilling sites for which an owner is not on record. The well, Duquesne 910, is located at the west end of Summerland Beach — buried under sand and shallow water. Duquesne isn’t the first well the State Lands Commission has unearthed and sealed this year. In late July, it sealed Olsson 805, another legacy well located in the Summerland Oil Field. The commission budgeted $12 million between 2018 and 2023 to cap six Summerland wells. Offshore wells are exponentially more costly, but the highly involved capping process isn’t cheap. Legislators from Santa Barbara County, alongside nonprofit Heal the Ocean, pursued state laws that would protect residents from the hydrocarbons beneath their feet. Heal the Ocean’s president/ executive director Hillary Hauser refers to former state Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, D-Santa Barbara, as a good friend of the organization. The two are pictured in a recent Heal the Ocean newsletter with their thumbs up as an offshore well is capped. Perhaps it is Ms. Jackson’s strong initiative Ms. Hauser holds dear — or the environmental legislation she championed, including Senate Bill 44. The bill, passed in 2017, provides the State Lands Commission with $2 million a year until fiscal year 2027-2028 to remove and remediate gas and oil wells along California’s coast. The bill places an emphasis on Summerland.
is on every continent, it was only a question of time that we picked it up,” he said. When asked if the variant could spread throughout the country in, say, six weeks, Dr. Ansorg said it probably would happen faster than that. “This one had a really quick spread apparently in South Africa. “In South Africa, 75% of all positive cases were this variant. It outperformed the delta variant there,” he said. “We don’t know if there’s a certain component to this outbreak there, which is mainly with college students, that may have played a role. Time will show if this has the potential to surpass or overtake the delta variant. It

Continued from Page A1 would mean it’s more transmissible than delta.” Dr. Ansorg said he expects it’ll be another two weeks before there are more definitive answers about the COVID-19 vaccines’ effectiveness against the omicron variant, how the virus is spread and whether it has a shorter incubation period. “All these things will take time to figure out,” he said. But Dr. Ansorg said the infected but vaccinated San Francisco resident’s mild symptoms could be good news about the vaccines’ effectiveness in limiting the severity of the symptoms. “We are hoping that will show to be true. Also in South Africa, anecdotally, people had not had horribly severe
according to the Public Health Department. Neighboring Orcutt had three cases. Elsewhere, seven cases were reported in Lompoc and nearby Mission Hills and Vandenberg Village. Nine cases were in Santa Barbara and unincorporated Mission Canyon. Eight cases were in the North County areas that include Sisquoc, Casmalia, Garey, Cuyama, New Cuyama and Guadalupe. Six cases were in the South
Coast areas that include Montecito, Summerland and Carpinteria. One case was in Isla Vista. Santa Ynez Valley reported four cases. Five cases were in Goleta. Three cases were in the unincorporated area of the Goleta Valley and Gaviota. The locations of seven cases are pending. Thirty-three patients are recovering in county hospitals. Another nine are recovering in intensive care units. Santa Barbara County now has
a total of 45,821 cases, of which 297 are still infectious. The total number of deaths is now 549. The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department reported that 66.3% of the eligible 5-and-older population is fully vaccinated. The number is higher for those eligible in the city of Santa Barbara: 74.2%. Of the entire county population (all ages), 62.3% is fully vaccinated. All numbers are provided by the health department.
symptoms.” He noted while the college students there became ill, they didn’t have to be hospitalized. Dr. Ansorg added that airline passengers arriving from the eight countries in southern Africa are being tested at Los Angeles International Airport. Dr. Ansorg said the CDC or the state Public Health Department will contact the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department if anyone at LAX tests positive. He noted that past strategies remain viable in light of the omicron variant. The medical community and government officials have voiced support for vaccinations for ages 5 and older, and they have called on vaccinated people to get booster shots six months after their Moderna or Pfizer shots or two months after the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
In Santa Barbara County, 66.3% of the eligible 5-and-older population is fully vaccinated, according to the latest numbers from the Public Health Department, and Dr. Ansorg and other physicians would like to see a much higher percentage.
Dr. Ansorg emphasized the need for other precautions as well. “Wear masks in indoor settings, and socially distance,” he said. “All these public health measures prevent the spread of the disease.”

wines to age. “The fiddlehead is also a beautiful design symbol. So when it came time to name my vineyard, I wanted to have fun, and fiddlehead/fiddlestix seemed to be good partners,” Ms. Joseph told the News-Press in an email. Fiddlestix Vineyards and Fiddlehead Cellars have a long and rich partnership. Ms. Joseph elaborated on the partnership between the two and how they both got started. “When I started Fiddlehead Cellars in 1989, I knew I wanted to make place-driven wines from special lesser-known sites, beginning with the famed Sierra Madre Vineyard in Santa Maria Valley,” she said. “When that site was sold (and was split up), I began searching for a new pinot noir source. I quickly learned there was none available in Santa Barbara County, so I started my quest to find land of my own to plant. “The most exciting option was the flower farm located opposite Sanford and Benedict on Santa Rosa Road in western Santa Ynez Valley,” Ms. Joseph said. “The Sta. Rita Hills AVA was yet to be defined, and only a few people were farming pinot noir at the time. “So, in 1996, I took the leap of investment, based on the exciting wines I tasted made from the property across the street. I knew how important location was to define the character of the wines,” she said. “I spent extensive time researching the best choices for planting, and ultimately vines went in the ground in 1998 and my first vintage was in 2000,” she said. “I only needed 15 acres for my brand, Fiddlehead Cellars, but I needed to purchase a minimum of 100 acres due to county requirements. “In addition to the magnificent fruit I cultivated for Fiddlehead, I sold the remaining grapes to other producers who worked their magic, as well,” Ms. Joseph told the News-Press. Ms. Joseph is transitioning to working with growers to make small-lot wines. She feels that after 25 years of nurturing her vineyard, she is well equipped to work with growers. “I feel incredibly armed with information and experience to collaborate with farmers. I know what to look for in the vineyard, what questions to ask, and I now have great appreciation for relevant decision making in the

vineyard. “I always say, winemaking begins with grapes grown in extraordinary sites with extraordinary farming, and I look forward to remaining active in vineyards,” Ms. Joseph told the News-Press. Fiddlehead Cellars will be releasing estate grown wines from Fiddlestix Vineyards under its 2021 vintage. Ms. Joseph plans to expand Fiddlehead’s focus and to include new regions and sites for future vintages. Ms. Joseph talked about what she hopes to see take place under the new ownership at Fiddlestix Vineyards. “I think they will respect the property and its history, and I am passing it on to them with a wonderful notoriety,” she told the News-Press. “They have local interest and have a history of respected farming and winemaking. I think that will be evident in their management with a commitment to continue the admirable reputation I achieved. As Ms. Joseph transitions into her new-role at Fiddlehead Cellars, she talks about her plans and what she envisions for the future. “I think some of my best wines are yet to come. I look forward to taking my last 25 years of hand-on farming and incorporating that knowledge into more ‘thinking outside the box’ winemaking. “In fact, that is how Fiddlehead started in 1989 — with a mission to make place-driven wines that were from underdog varietals at the time: pinot noir and sauvignon blanc. “When I planted Gruner Veltliner at Fiddlestix, that certainly was on the outskirts of the norm, and I am so pleased to have made that decision. My future is an open book filled with exciting potential, but I still cherish Santa Barbara County and the potential it promises. “Fiddlestix is more than just a great site, over time it has become part of the culture of Santa Barbara wine country. The site was there from the very formation of the Sta. Rita Hills appellation, and has been a trusted source for some of Santa Barbara’s greatest winemakers,” Ms. Joseph said. “Over my 25 years of owning Fiddlestix, I have enjoyed countless memorable experiences hosting wine lovers from across the globe at this special vineyard. I want to continue these relationships and invite all those wine lovers out there to stay in touch with Fiddlehead; it’s time for us to have more fun!”

Overcast weather obscures the Santa Ynez Mountains, which provides the backdrop for the Santa Barbara Airport. Flights were diverted because of fog.
By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
Passengers aboard flights to Santa Barbara Wednesday night were diverted when the Federal Aviation Administration deemed the fog too heavy for planes to land at the Santa Barbara Airport. Consequently, the two flights scheduled to depart from SBA
Thursday morning on those same aircrafts were canceled. The airport’s spokesperson, Angi Daus, told the News-Press that the airport never closed and had returned to normal operations as of 10 a.m. Thursday. Travelers should check with their airlines for status updates during weather incidents, such as heavy fog.
Additionally, Ms. Daus advises passengers to arrive two hours early to the airport on high-travel days, like the weekends and holidays. The short-term and longterm parking lots continue to fill up during busy periods. There are digital messaging signs in Goleta off of Fairview Avenue and the State Route 217 off-ramp that warn travelers when
the lots are full. Economy parking is always open on Lopez Road, off of Hollister Avenue. Thursday, the Transportation Security Administration extended the mask mandate on transportation networks through March 18. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com
Biden administration EVERYTHING IS ON THE rolls out more measures LINES to address COVID-19 By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE SENIOR REPORTER
(The Center Square) — President Joe Biden unveiled a new set of executive actions to address the omicron variant Thursday, though the seriousness of the variant’s threat remains unclear. President Biden gave an address from the White House Thursday where he urged a nationwide effort to up vaccinations and booster shots for Americans. The administration said it will extend the mask requirement for domestic flights to March 18 while increasing restrictions on inbound international travelers, requiring they receive a negative COVID test within 24 hours of departure. Senior administration officials said pharmacies will send millions of texts and emails as well as make phone calls telling Americans to get the booster. They also said the AARP is working with the administration to urge seniors to get vaccinated and that Medicare will send a notice to 63 million seniors encouraging them to receive the booster shot. According to the administration officials, Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program “will start paying healthcare providers to talk to families about the importance of getting their kids vaccinated.” Aside from the public relations push, the administration announced it will launch family vaccination clinics around the country to increase vaccination and booster shot levels. Earlier this week, Biden said the new variant is “a cause for concern, not a cause for panic,” but during the press briefing Thursday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters that domestic travel restrictions were still an option. “Nothing is off the table,
including domestic travel,” she said. “But we do have some strong protections in place already, including (the) requirement of mask wearing, which was extended; doubling of fines if people are not in compliance.” The announcement comes as President Biden’s vaccine mandates have taken losses in the courts, and Republicans debate defunding the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the agency tasked with enforcing Mr. Biden’s private sector vaccine mandate. President Biden has signed off on multiple vaccine mandates at the federal level in recent months, including one for workers at private companies with at least 100 employees. The latest Omicron variant has re-upped concerns, though data on the new variant is lacking. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul declared a state of “disaster emergency” to begin today after news of the variant broke. The White House announced precautionary travel restrictions for South Africa and seven other nations last week because of the variant. Omicron was discovered in recent weeks in South Africa, and there is still very little data or information about the severity of this particular strain. One South African doctor recently told Reuters that those infected with omicron have “very mild” symptoms, but he said it remains too early to know how severe the strain will be or what long-term effects it may have. South Africa Minister of Health Joe Phaahla told the media there is “absolutely no need to panic” over the new variant. “We have been here before,” Mr. Phaahla said.

CAPPED
Continued from Page A1
Workers deserted wells in the Summerland Oil Field in the early 1900s. Without oversight, they sealed the pipes with rocks and rags in some cases. “The cost of capping these wells is not cheap because there are no parties left. These are orphaned wells that are improperly capped — most are many, many years old,” Ms. Jackson told the News-Press. “The state is really forced to pick up the tab because there is no one else to be held financially responsible.” The cost of SB 44 was an obstacle, she said. The bill was originally introduced in 2016 before being vetoed by Gov. Jerry Brown. The bill also faced claims from the oil industry about the ocean’s natural seepages. Ms. Hauser remembers legislators questioning whether oil
seepages could be traced to the well in areas dense with legacy wells like Summerland. Heal the Ocean, with funding from its advisory board member Nora McNeely Hurley, hired Planck Aerosystems to produce a heat map of the oil field. Then it became clear the State Lands Commission could prioritize which wells to remediate, Ms. Hauser said. Ms. Jackson said Heal the Ocean was “critical in proving the danger of these wells.” “They’re dangerous, and they let off toxic fumes. Oil is not only a dirty business, it’s a toxic business,” she said. “We don’t want these oil spills on our shores.” Heal the Ocean field adviser Harry Rabin said the presence of oil is clear in the county. He can see the oil as he walks near the Carpinteria Harbor Seal Preserve. He has been working with the State Lands Commission to identify oil leaks through a drone and automate the
NEWS
discovery process. He monitors 40 wellheads in Summerland and eight off Rincon Island. “It’s a long arduous process to pinpoint where the leak is coming from which is why we are automating these drone flights,” Mr. Rabin said. He wants to take his idea outside of Santa Barbara County. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimated that there were more than 3.2 million orphaned onshore oil and gas wells in the U.S. in 2018 — 2.1 million of those unplugged. When Santa Barbara County Supervisor Das Williams was an assemblymember, he sponsored a bill in 2016 that charges companies when they keep wells idle and uncapped for long periods. “The important thing is not to let thousands of wells idle until they go out of business and there’s no one around to properly cap them,” he said. He said state Sen. Monique Limón, D-Santa Barbara, has
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2021
advanced this legislation since. Her bill, which fines companies, SB 47, was signed in September. “It was really important to highlight this issue, not just in Summerland but everywhere,” Supervisor Williams said. “There are thousands of orphaned wells across the state.” Both Mr. Williams’ 2016 legislation and SB 47 are intended to protect taxpayers from the expenses of capping wells like Duquesne. “California is leading the way and yet at the same time, California was the first to have the off-shore oil rigs,” Mr. Rabin said. “They left us a mess, so it’s good we want to be the first state that wants to clean this up.” Summerland Beach is still open to the public, though parking is limited. The lot at Lookout Park is being used to stage the construction equipment. Work is estimated to continue through Tuesday. email: ahanshaw@newspress. com

In what has become a December tradition, one chamber of Congress took last-minute action Thursday to keep the government funded beyond today. The House voted 221 to 212, along party lines, to keep the federal government funded through Feb. 18. U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois was the only Republican to support the resolution. Now it’s up to the Senate, where the funding resolution faces a challenge by Republican
senators who want to add an amendment that would bar funding for vaccine mandates. They say they won’t vote for the resolution without that amendment. Congress has until midnight EST today (9 p.m. PST) to pass the resolution. If Congress doesn’t meet that deadline, then the federal government essentially is out of money. And that could mean furloughs for federal workers and a shutdown of some federal services. email: dmason@newspress.com

Byron Mardiros Ishkanian passed away into the arms of our Lord Jesus Christ on November 18, 2021. Byron was born in Pasadena, California to Armenian parents who fled their Armenian home enclave in Hadjin, Turkey after the Genocide against the Christian Armenians during World War I. Byron grew up in the Los Angeles area and was an intelligent, athletic child and young man. He loved to play chess, backgammon and was, at one time, the second fastest sprinter in the City of Los Angeles. Byron attended Pasadena City College and then later UCLA where he played football as a Bruin and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Geology. He also studied petroleum engineering at USC. In the early 1950s he joined the US Army and became part of the Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC). His duties included maintaining surveillance on the post WWII landscape of Europe – and especially the boundary between West Germany and newly formed Eastern Block of the Soviet Union. After his tour in the Army he came back to Los Angeles and finished his education at UCLA. He started his career with the Southern California Gas Company and then moved his career to the State of California, Department of Industrial Relations where he first specialized in oil and gas drilling safety and engineering. It was during his tenure with the State that Byron married Judith Finch and the couple moved to Santa Barbara, CA and started a family. After a decade or so, he then moved to the State of California Mining and Tunnel Safety Unit and eventually was the Principal Engineer of the Mining and Tunneling Safety Department for several decades. He pioneered many safety measures that are used today in underground work. These measures included novel methods of drilling through hazardous ground, ventilation and underground structural safety. His methods were codified in some of the first ever underground safety orders written for the industry. These orders have been emulated all over the USA. After retiring from the State of California, Byron worked with the Rapid Transit District (RTD) of Los Angeles on the construction of the Metro Rail project – the first subway project in Los Angeles. He was an integral safety and design engineer and stayed through the completion of the first multi-mile segment of the line with a stellar safety record. This is no small feat considering the tunneling work crossed multiple oil and gas fields. A lifelong athlete, Byron loved playing handball (until he was 80!) and swam in the ocean every day that he could. He loved travel and spoke German, Armenian, some Turkish and Spanish. He is survived by his wife Judith (married 60 years) of Santa Barbara, CA and their son Roy of Billings, MT and daughters Jill (Vince Riello) of Los Angeles, CA and Elinor (Carlos Duque), also of Los Angeles, CA and their two children Claire 22 and Olivia 18. Byron loved his family, his country and his home in Santa Barbara. He will be missed by many and will always be loved by those who knew him. A memorial service will be held in his honor at 11:00 AM on December 21, 2021 at the El Montecito Presbyterian Church, located at 1455 East Valley Road in Montecito, CA.

Robert “Bob” Swanson passed away on November 25, 2021. He is survived by his daughters, Victoria Bosnar of Las Vegas, NV and Cathy Mallet of Austin, TX, his much-loved sons-in-law Joe Bosnar and Eric Mallet, and grandchildren Julien and Claire Mallet. Bob was born in Chicago on September 16, 1932 to Edwin and Geraldine Swanson. He attended the University of Notre Dame, where he received his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in English, and was active in the campus radio and television stations. He married the love of his life, Arlette, in 1962 in the Log Chapel at Notre Dame. Their European honeymoon was the first of their many travels. Bob and Arlette spent the early years of their marriage in Chicago, where their daughters were born. Bob and Arlette always dreamed big, and a highlight of their early married life was quitting the “rat race” to devote a year to traveling throughout Europe, the US, and Mexico with their two young children. On this trip, they visited and fell in love with Santa Barbara, where they moved in 1972. Bob worked for many years as a Realtor, with a sideline doing fixer-uppers. He always believed that with hard work and a positive outlook, no undertaking was too daunting. Deciding to try his hand at television writing, he borrowed a book on screenwriting from the Santa Barbara library, wrote several “spec” scripts, and was soon making a living as a television writer. He wrote episodes for many popular police and mystery series, including Kojak, Starsky and Hutch, Ellery Queen, and MacMillan and Wife. In the early 1980s his friend and colleague Peter Fischer invited Bob to join the staff of a new series: Murder, She Wrote. Bob had a long tenure with Murder, She Wrote, as a writer, story editor, and producer. Bob and Arlette traveled widely, enjoyed cruises to Hawaii, the Caribbean, and the Mediterranean, and maintained a flat in London for 20 years. Bob took his last London trip at the age of 89, just a month before his passing. Bob’s beloved Arlette passed away in 2018. Bob was fortunate to have a wide circle of wonderful friends who supported him in his grief and made sure he maintained a thriving and happy social life. His family visited frequently. Bob was a true Renaissance man: a talented painter and sculptor, a lover of classical music and opera, a political news junkie, a lifelong learner, and a voracious reader his particular favorite was Montaigne. Bob was an avid tennis player and made many lasting friendships on the court. He played regularly all his adult life, and was out on his home court hitting his daily regimen of 200 balls just days before he died. He passed peacefully on Thanksgiving day, with his daughters and sons-in-law by his side. A celebration of Bob’s life will be held at a later date.

“The Wickhams: Christmas at the Pemberley” is the second in a trilogy of imagined sequels to Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice.”
New story in Jane Austen’s world Ensemble Theatre Company performs ‘The Wickhams: Christmas at Pemberley’

nsemble Theatre Company is recreating the world of Jane Austen in its second play of the season. “This is the second play in a trilogy of imagined sequels to the novel ‘Pride and Prejudice,’ ” director Michael Butler said about “The Wickhams: Christmas at Pemberley.” The play’s first preview performance took place Thursday night, with another preview show at 8 tonight. The regular shows will begin Saturday at the New Vic, 33 W. Victoria St., Santa Barbara, where the play will run through Dec. 19. “The Wickhams: Christmas at Pemberley” features Rebecca Mozo as Lizzie, Adam Poss as Mr. Darcy, Will Block as Brian, Nike Doukas as Mrs. Reynolds, Kyle T. Hester as Wickham, Kodi Jackman as Cassie and Chelsea Kurtz as Lydia. Mr. Butler, the artistic director of the Center Repertory Company in Walnut Creek, was recruited to direct the play by his friend, Jonathan Fox, the artistic director of Ensemble Theatre Company. “This is one of the shows from the 2019-2020 season that got canceled” because of the pandemic, Mr. Butler told the News-Press by phone from the San Francisco Bay area. “When the

Lydia’s journey toward becoming a strong, independent woman, Mr. Butler said. Elsewhere in the household is the possibility of romance with two characters introduced by the playwrights: Cassie and Brian, young people from the village. Cassie’s the new housemaid. “Cassie has dreams of selfdetermination. She wants to read and wants to make her own decision about her own life without a man,” Mr. Butler said. “She’s not against having a man in her life, but she wants to have her own self-determination. “Brian’s also from the village and is working as a footman at the Pemberley for a while,” Mr. Butler said. Brian is attracted to Cassie and wants to pursue her, but Cassie is trying to put romance to the side. “But love will find a way,” Mr. Butler said. “It’s a really beautiful, somewhat comedically bumpy romance. Brian’s got lessons to learn.” Mr. Butler discussed the appeal of Jane Austen’s world for 21st-century audiences, who deal with the same issues of human

“What would Jane do? What would Jane say?,” Mr. Butler said. “Within her books are explorations and answers to all kinds of situations, snobs, invitations you don’t want, troublesome aunts and interfering rich people. “Jane Austen deals with it all.” email: dmason@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.

DAILY BRIDGE
spontaneously. LIBRA — Friends or groups could make excessive demands on your time today. As a generous and service-oriented person, you tend to go along with what others want. This is OK, but you’re not serving anyone by letting them step over the line. You can also delegate. Keep busy, but don’t overextend yourself. You need to save some energy for tomorrow. SCORPIO — Though you’re usually outgoing, today you might feel more shy and reserved, perhaps because of melancholy thoughts about love or friendship. Someone you care about may be away and you miss him or her. People may try to take unfair advantage of you. Because you’re feeling especially vulnerable, you’re more likely to let them do it. Be discriminating. SAGITTARIUS — Information regarding spiritual or philosophical matters that may not be all that trustworthy may come your way. Don’t take what you hear today at face value. A close friend or lover may be far away, and you could feel lonely. The best way to get through the separation is to keep busy, perhaps with study, research, or artistic activities. CAPRICORN — Group activities or get-togethers with friends may not go as well as usual today. You’re feeling more reserved and perhaps preoccupied about a friend or romantic partner with whom you might be on the outs. Oddly enough, getting out with others is probably the best therapy in spite of your increased shyness. Maybe the best thing to do is to go out alone where people congregate. AQUARIUS —A separation from the special someone in your life, perhaps because of a minor disagreement, could have you feeling melancholy today. You could receive an invitation to a get-together but be unlikely to want to go. You’re feeling more reserved and introverted than usual. Oddly enough, being with others is probably the best way to get your mind off your friend. PISCES — A touch of melancholy and moodiness might have you feeling distanced from your entourage and so you could throw yourself into solitary activities. Your concentration may not be what it should be. Get out and take a long walk or treat yourself to a meal at your favorite restaurant. Your mood will pass by tomorrow. You need to get through today!
HOROSCOPE ARIES — You feel romantic and sexy today, but you won’t have the opportunity to do anything about it. You may be temporarily separated from the special someone in your life, or a potential romantic partner might not be available. Cheer yourself up by shopping or reading or watching movies. The separation will pass and then you can make up for lost time. TAURUS — Today you may extend an invitation to someone close to visit you in your home, but don’t count on the person being able to make it. Something may come up. Disappointment could make you melancholy, but don’t let it get the better of you. Invite someone else or channel that energy into creative or artistic projects. That way you can enjoy the day anyway. GEMINI — News of illness or employment problems on the part of someone you care about can have you feeling a bit down in the dumps today. A warm, loving letter or call from someone far away might cheer you. This is a good day to write newsy letters or visit or call people you haven’t heard from in a long time. Don’t let sad news or a bad mood get the better of you. CANCER — Overspending on luxury items might have you feeling the need to tighten your belt a little. This could make you feel downhearted. Don’t blame yourself too much. We all do this from time to time. Get out of the dumps by getting together with a close friend or lover. Go to a play, concert, or movie. Make time for any projects you have in the works. LEO — Minor family problems might make you gloomy today. Perhaps a family member is away, or there may have been some petty squabbles in your household. Others might want to invite friends over, but you may not feel all that sociable. Throw yourself into projects of your own. It could give you a feeling of accomplishment, defusing your downhearted mood and firing your enthusiasm. Try it! VIRGO — The illness of a relative or neighbor might have you feeling downhearted today. The news is likely secondhand, so it might not be as bad as reported. Work may be slow on your own projects, as you could have a temporary mental block about what to do next. Perhaps you should put them aside for now. Once they’re out of your conscious thoughts, the solution may come
