Challenges grow for local police City, county law enforcement see staffing shortages, pivot to adaptive policing By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

As violent crime ticks up both locally and nationally, police departments everywhere are suffering from staff shortages. In Santa Barbara County, the reasons behind the shortages vary from budgeting issues from the pandemic’s economic impacts to recruiting troubles. For some, the problem has been exacerbated in the past two years. For others, it has been this way since the Great Recession. Whatever the case may be, many departments have had to adapt and change the structures of their department, or reassign officers to patrol to keep up with 9-1-1 and radio calls. At the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office, the pain point is recruitment, according to Sheriff Bill Brown. “I think we’ve been fortunate in the Sheriff’s Office — we haven’t had as difficult of a time in recruitment and retention as some other agencies have had,” the sheriff told the News-Press, singing praises of the office’s Human Resources Bureau. “The thing is, recruiting has definitely gotten a lot harder. There are fewer people that are applying.” Sheriff Brown said this, on top of the fact that only 2% of applicants can typically pass the strict recruitment process and end up hired, has made filling positions a challenge. He said the office hasn’t lowered its standards either. “We’ve had to adapt in many different ways as a result of some of the changes that have occurred in the recent past,” Sheriff Brown said. “We’ve adapted well, and we are still trying to send a message that this is a noble profession and it’s a great career. Despite the challenges, despite the problems as an organization and as individuals, we’re still very upbeat about what we do.” Please see ENFORCEMENT on A3

SB County receives $3 million in housing vouchers City of Santa Barbara to get $1.2 million in federal funds to house homeless By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Santa Barbara County officially received $3 million in funds from the federal government’s American Rescue Plan Act, signed into law by President Joe Biden. Of the $5 billion in funding for emergency housing vouchers to be distributed nationwide to house the homeless, $3 million is headed to the county, and $1.2 million of that is going directly to the city of Santa Barbara. Vouchers will be distributed countywide by the Housing Authority of the County of Santa Barbara and citywide by the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara. “Even before the pandemic, we’ve seen an increase in homelessness across the cohorts — whether we’re talking single individuals, families, the elderly population — we’ve seen an increase across the board there,” Rob Fredericks, the executive director and CEO of the city’s Housing Authority, told the NewsPress Friday. “And we’ve even seen an

increase through the pandemic, with these encampments along the roadways that are dangerous and life threatening, not only to the individuals that are camping there but also to the surrounding community.” The vouchers are intended for individuals and families who are homeless; at risk of homelessness; fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence, violence during dating, sexual assault, stalking or human trafficking; recently homeless; or have a high risk of housing instability. Santa Barbara’s Housing Authority received 89 vouchers to issue to 89 households, based on the cost of the vouchers and the fair market rent. This funding allows for tenants to pay 30% of their income for contract rent to the landlord, and the rest of the rent would be paid directly to the landlord from the Housing Authority if needed. “If the resident’s income is zero dollars, then the Housing Authority is paying all of the rent through the voucher,” Mr. Fredericks said. In addition, because the affected

He said they will go out to encampments and other locations to get clients started with the coordinated entry system, where they can then assist clients in applying online. Next steps include an eligibility review, which requires clients to be low-income and to undergo a criminal history verification. Sex offenders or any household that’s been evicted and prosecuted for selling or using methamphetamine will not be eligible for a voucher. “There’s not a hard ‘no’ on the criminal background check, because we know a lot of the folks have various citations because they don’t have a place to live,” Mr. Fredericks said. “Some are cited for trespassing or just trying to find a place to lay their head at night, and for us, that’s not a hard ‘no.’ We try to screen individuals rather than screen out — if we can provide a home for them through these vouchers, they can then begin to improve their lives.” The Housing Authority executive director also stressed the emphasis on the wraparound services being provided

to the voucher holders. He said the assistance doesn’t stop once clients get a roof over their heads. It extends to ensuring food security, education assistance, getting a job, stabilizing medical conditions and more. To learn more about the emergency housing vouchers, or for any landlords interested in partnering with the program, email leasing@hacsb.org for the city’s Housing Authority or questions@ hasbarco.org for the county’s Housing Authority. “No one wants to see homelessness in their community. I think we can all agree that the only solution to homelessness is a home,” Mr. Fredericks said. “Folks that live on the streets have a much shorter life expectancy than people that have a home due to increased health risks. If we can provide a home to people, not only providing security for the encompassing community but also for the folks that are having to suffer through homelessness, it’s a win-win from our perspective.” email: gmccormick@newspress.com

families are in such great need, the program will provide administrative fees to support housing authorities in addressing barriers to housing for homeless individuals. This includes landlord engagement, security deposits and housing navigation. The landlord incentives include: a $1,500 signing bonus for each voucher leased up; up to $2,000 in protection insurance for each lease; one month’s security deposit provided for each lease; and the county’s provision of three years of supportive services for each client leased. “We think the incentives are going to be really important to help the landlord community … feel comfortable with renting to these clients as well as knowing there’s going to be wraparound services available,” the Housing Authority CEO said. The vouchers became available July 1, and Mr. Fredericks said the Housing Authority just had a kickoff meeting with service providers on Thursday with 66 people on the call that will provide outreach throughout the community.

The study will analyze the patterns of wildlife movement and roadkill along the highway using systematic monitoring and roadkill surveys. The study’s goal is to identify potential enhancements to improve the safe passage of wildlife and locate areas where wildlife are crossing the highway successfully, according to a Caltrans news release. The study will take place along the Gaviota Pass corridor from the Nojoqui summit to Mariposa Reina. According to Caltrans, this region has seen a higher level of roadkill, including mountain lions and black bears. Caltrans will partner with a consultant who will gather seasonal data during the yearlong study in coordination with the state Department of Fish and Wildlife. — Madison Hirneisen

LOMPOC — A vegetation fire burned about 35 acres near Vandenberg Village in the Lompoc area Friday, leading to evacuations west of State Route 1 and south of Constellation Road. The Santa Barbara County Fire Department responded to the Santa Lucia Fire in the early afternoon. Fire engines and aircraft were called in to stunt the blaze, which burned uncontained for about an hour. The fire’s forward progress stopped around 3:30 p.m. Friday, and firefighters had the fire about 50% contained around 4:10 p.m. While the fire was spreading, the American Red Cross established a temporary evacuation point at Cabrillo High School near Constellation Road to aid those displaced by the fire. The evacuation orders were lifted around 4:45 p.m., and all fixed-wing aircraft and engines were released around this time. Firefighters remained on site throughout the night to monitor hot spots. The cause of the Santa Lucia Fire is still under investigation by fire department officials.

Pfizer to seek authorization for third dose By MADISON HIRNEISEN

Pfizer will seek emergency authorization for a third dose of its vaccine in August.

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Pfizer announced Thursday it will seek emergency authorization for the third dose of its COVID-19 vaccine, which the company says could boost immunity and ward off disease tied to the emergence of the Delta variant. While researchers say the vaccines widely available in the U.S. provide adequate protection against the Delta variant, officials are concerned that as vaccine immunity wanes, a booster shot could be warranted to provide adequate protection. On Thursday, Dr. Mikael Dolsen of Pfizer told The Associated Press that early data from the company’s study shows that a patient’s antibody levels jump five-to-10 fold after a third dose of the vaccine. With this promising data in hand, Pfizer plans to ask the Food and Drug Administration for emergency use authorization for a third dose in August. Still, even FDA emergency approval does not mean Americans will automatically be offered a booster shot, according to national reports. Public health authorities still need to determine whether booster shots are actually needed, especially as millions of Americans remain unvaccinated. As of Friday, 59.5% of eligible Santa Barbara County residents 12 and older were fully vaccinated. The county’s Public Health Department reported three new cases of COVID-19 on Friday and one new death. The individual who died was between 50 and 69 years old, resided in the North County’s unincorporated areas and had underlying medical conditions. On Friday, one new case was reported in Santa Barbara, Santa Maria and Lompoc, bringing the county’s active case count to 46 infections. As of Friday, eight people were hospitalized with COVID19. Three of those patients were recovering in the ICU. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

Staffing, recruitment efforts a problem for local agencies

ENFORCEMENT

Continued from Page A1

Santa Barbara Police Chief Bernard Melekian told the News-Press that there are multiple reasons for staffing issues. COVID-19 slowed down the recruiting process, he said, and hiring was slowed when candidates couldn’t take physical agility tests and fill out written exams because of the pandemic. “We’ve had a real shortage in dispatch, which is a national problem,” the interim police chief said. The struggle to hire enough dispatch operators nationally has intensified over the past year or two, according to USA Today. At least at the Santa Barbara Police Department, Chief Melekian said seven officers — none of whom were on light duty — have been reassigned to dispatch. The city’s budget authorizes 142 sworn officers. According to the police chief, there are 123 officers on the books, but functionally around 108, factoring in seven in dispatch, three in the academy and a constant flow of seven or eight injured on duty or off work, one on military leave and more. “All of that presents a significant challenge to us, but we’ve taken a number of steps to address that,” Chief Melekian said. These efforts include a $3,000 recruitment bonus for any city employee who recommends a qualified applicant, along with looking at civilianizing some positions. “I think there’s no question that the environment that we’re in has not been good for morale. We have lost some senior people who have decided to make other life choices,” Chief Melekian said. “I think we’re seeing that not just here, but around the country, and I think the number of people in the pool of applicants applying for this job is smaller than it has been historically. “That in all candor is a trend that’s been true for the last decade.” Up north, the Lompoc Police Department is seeing staff numbers so low that it had to cut back on various community services to put more officers on patrol, according to Capt. Kevin Martin. “All these positions that were not patrol-related, we had to put on patrol just to be able to do what our primary function is, which is respond to calls for services needed by the community,” he told the News-Press. He said the staffing numbers have been improving recently as businesses reopen. But Capt. Mark noted the problem’s biggest problem is its budget. Lompoc officers’ salaries are significantly less than many of the other agencies in the county, which Capt. Martin said has made it increasingly difficult to hire lateral officers — officers with previous police experience. All new police officers have to go through an extensive six-month academy and a 21-week training program. “From the time we hire somebody until they’re in a police car by themselves is right about a year,” Capt. Martin said. The Lompoc Police Department’s problem has consistently been the competitiveness of its salaries, Capt. Martin said. And for some time now, he said the Santa Barbara Police Department has hired numerous Lompoc officers as laterals. The Lompoc Police Department trains them, then other agencies offer them more money. “That’s really what our goal is … hire these people but work with the city to make sure that we can retain those officers as they develop these skill sets and the expertise that it takes to do this job,” the captain said. Capt. Martin said he has 44 of the 48 officer positions now filled, which is the best number in recent years. Previously, the low was 33 of 48 positions filled. Capt. Martin said that was “a huge number to be down on for a small agency like us.” The chief custody deputy for the Sheriff’s Office told the News-Press that the office’s “systemic staffing deficit” stems primarily from the Great Recession. Over the years, Deputy Vincent Wasilewki said, the agency hasn’t been able to recoup those positions on either the law enforcement or custody side. “It’s always been our contention that we have been

“I think there’s no question that the environment that we’re in has not been good for morale. We have lost some senior people who have decided to make other life choices. I think we’re seeing that not just here, but around the country,” Santa Barbara Interim Police Chief Bernard Melekian told the News-Press.

understaffed, at least since then and arguably even before then,” Deputy Wasilewki said. Regarding the national tone toward law enforcement borne out of the 2020 George Floyd protests, the chief custody deputy concurred with Sheriff Brown that it doesn’t make recruiting any easier. “There’s an awful lot of that that’s being felt all around the country, that law enforcement agencies everywhere are really struggling with,” he said. “It’s not as popular to become involved in law enforcement. That’s a hurdle we all have to deal with … It is another factor that we didn’t have to deal with two and three years ago.” While it seems police departments are facing an uphill battle with a push in 2020 to defund them altogether, duty still calls, so many have figured out how to adapt and work with their circumstances. In Santa Barbara, Chief Melekian said the department is taking a more problem-oriented approach to policing, identifying top priorities and assigning people accordingly. His main focus areas now are State Street nightlife, homeless encampments, waterfront hotels and traffic problems. “We have historically been a full-service police department that responds to everything,” he said. “We’re going to have to look at that list and see if there are things we can either stop handling or handle in a different way.” Sheriff Brown said that as his department remains down more than 90 positions since the Great Recession, it prioritizes first-line law enforcement and custody operations. “They become the focus of our efforts, and we want to make sure we have all of those bases covered, and we do,” he said. “It fluctuates from time to time.” And the Lompoc Police Department responded to concerns over recent crimes by creating a new threeofficer Special Investigations Unit, which will have the flexibility of investigating top priorities at any given time. Right now, that’s gang violence. “California’s always led the nation in new ways of policing. A lot of times what you see here will show up on the East Coast because of how we address problems in different communities,” Capt. Martin said. “As far as nationally with the tone toward police officers, it really is one of those things that we see these trends happen from time to time. The pendulum will swing to an extreme at some point, and swing back into a middle area best for all parties involved. “I think we’re going to see that pendulum swing back. There’s a lot of support for law enforcement today, and we’re still going to go out and do the jobs we’ve been hired and taken an oath to do.” email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Santa Barbara County residents should brace for a hot weekend as temperatures are expected to reach up to 80 degrees on the coast and the upper 90s in the valleys. In the county’s mountainous regions, the forecast calls for temperatures over 100 degrees through Monday. A heat advisory is currently in effect for Santa Barbara County through Monday night. Temperatures in Santa Barbara are expected to reach a high of 80 today, and highs are forecast to remain in the upper 70s through Wednesday. In the Santa Ynez Valley, temperatures are expected to surpass 90 degrees today, reaching a high of 95 by this afternoon. Temperatures on Sunday and Monday are expected to hover around 90 degrees. Despite high temperatures expected over the weekend, the region is not expected to exceed record-breaking temperatures. “We’re not expecting any records to be broken (this weekend),” Kathy Hoxsie, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard, told the News-Press Friday. According to Ms. Hoxsie, Sunday’s high of 77 in Santa Barbara still lags the record of 88 degrees that was set in 1964. To stay safe during the heat

Members of various groups protest the issue of banks funding fossil fuel projects June 4 in front of Chase Bank in Santa Barbara. The groups plan another protest Friday in the Goleta area.

Fearless Grandmothers plan climate crisis demonstration By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Society of Fearless Grandmothers-Santa Barbara, Sunrise Movement-Santa Barbara, 350Santa Barbara, Women’s March-Santa Barbara, Standing Rock Coalition-Santa Barbara, Democratic Socialists of America-Santa Barbara and Extinction Rebellion-Santa Barbara plan a nonviolent demonstration with grandmothers concerned about the climate crisis. They plan to tell banks to stop underwriting dangerous fossil fuel pipelines and send an urgent plea to President Biden to use his executive powers to stop the Enbridge Line 3 project. The event will take place from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday in the Goleta area. The groups will gather in the CVS parking lot, 5875 Calle Real, then march at noon to Wells Fargo Bank, 195 N. Fairview Ave., and Union Bank, 299 N. Fairview Ave. They will continue to Bank of America, 5892 Calle Real, and Chase Bank, 5787 Calle Real. The Enbridge Line 3 pipeline is being built through indigenous territory without consent, a violation of treaty rights, according to the protesters’

press release. Prominent native activists have described the pipeline as “cultural genocide.” It would carry 760,000 barrels a day of sludgy tar sands oil 300 miles across northern Minnesota, crossing 200 water bodies, including the Mississippi River. Between 1999 and 2013, there were at least 1,068 spills from Enbridge oil pipelines in the U.S. that dumped 7.4 million gallons of oil into the environment, according to the press release. Grandmothers are continuing their efforts to deliver letters to bank CEOs to inform them of the damage being done by their funding and to demand that they stop contributing to the climate crisis. President Joe Biden has canceled the Keystone XL pipeline and can do the same for the Line 3 project. Grandmothers are calling the White House and writing letters to the president with urgent pleas to use his executive powers to stop Line 3. Line 3 would accelerate the climate crisis and the extreme fires, deadly heat waves, catastrophic drought, food insecurity, migration, severe economic impacts and suffering now being experienced around the world, according to the press release.

Until then, drivers can use the detour on Evans Avenue, Lillie Avenue and the southbound on-ramp at North Padaro Lane. Northbound travelers will experience an on-ramp closure at Santa Monica Road from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays for utility work through July 24, and Caltrans will open access to the on-ramp at Casitas Pass Road for northbound travelers starting Monday. The reopening comes after the onramp was closed for about 10 weeks. As work continues, Caltrans has crews on site in various areas between Carpinteria and Santa Barbara working on a number of different projects. Southbound travelers may have noticed the freeway lanes have shifted between Sheffield Drive and North Padaro Lane in recent weeks. Travelers driving southbound on the highway are now using the new median, and crews are working to remove the pavement and barriers from the old southbound lanes. At the Sheffield Drive interchange, crews are continuing work on retaining walls, safety barriers and the bridge span.

In addition, crews are installing equipment for a new concrete mix site near the southbound on-ramp at North Padaro Lane. By mixing the concrete on site, the project reduces truck trips between Carpinteria and Santa Barbara, reduces water use by 400,000 gallons and saves taxpayers between $10-$15 million, according to a news release from Caltrans. In the northbound lanes near

Carpinteria, crews will continue working to remove old pavement and install new safety barriers. Crews are also working on renovations on the Franklin and Santa Monica bridges, which includes removing old concrete, reconstructing the concrete channel and creating aboveground supports for the new walls, side supports and superstructure for each bridge, according to a Caltrans news release.

Museum to host SCAPE show and sale

IN MEMORY PAUL FRITZ 7/20/41 – 7/10/11 10 years “… a love which is not simply a recollection of a bygone past but a living force which sustains us in the present.” -- Henri Nouwen Loving and missing you always! Carol, Kate, and Steven

The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum will host its annual summer Southern California Artists Painting for the Environment Art Show and Sale both online and in-person this year. A percentage of the sales will benefit the museum and help rekindle its maritime educational programs after the state’s recent reopening. SCAPE and SBMM are co-hosting “Images of Our Rekindled Maritime Community,” as an online exhibit and in-person sale of fine art. The exhibit and sale will be available online Aug. 18-25. The in-person show and sale will take place Aug. 25 and 26. This event will feature the work of more than 75 artists and their views of the Pacific Ocean and Santa Barbara’s maritime life. Art may be viewed and purchased at sbmm.org beginning Aug. 18. Prior to the opening of the exhibit, some of the artists and their work will be profiled on SBMM’s Facebook, Instagram and Web pages as well as on SCAPE’s Instagram account. Artists are invited to submit up to three artworks to the show. They’re instructed to include a $10 fee per submission, a photo of themselves, and a short biographical artist’s statement between now and midnight on July 28. Once the artwork has been received, all submissions will be reviewed by SCAPE for inclusion. The art will be selected by the SCAPE juror. SCAPE was founded in 2002. The organization presents two or three juried exhibits a year. SCAPE’s goals include raising money to protect open spaces, increasing public awareness of environmental and conservation issues, promoting camaraderie and providing education for artists. To date, SCAPE has raised more than $100,000 to benefit local nonprofits such as the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, Channelkeeper and Heal the Ocean, among others.

No matter how you get here, please be patient and remember we are all excited to welcome you back to the ranch and we hope to see you soon!” The society said it appreciated the public’s support of its events.

Teens take on trash removal in Summerland, Montecito, Santa Barbara

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

hile many teens are spending their summer lolling on the beach, hanging out with friends or enjoying other frivolous activities, Noah and Ramon Wang, the 16-year-old twin sons of Chiyan Wang, are spending their time as volunteers for the Channelkeeper’s Watershed Brigade. Brigade members remove trash from trails, creeks, rivers, urban areas and beaches, act as environmental stewards and collect trash data to help reduce pollution at its source. From June 7 through July 5, Noah and Ramon have volunteered 175½ hours, walked 172 miles and filled 112 bags with 540 pounds of trash, much of it from Summerland, where they live, as well as Montecito and Santa Barbara. No wonder their mother proudly shares their accomplishments in frequent posts on the Nextdoor App. “They spend six to seven hours every day, weekends too. One day, they were out for more than 10 hours cleaning up the beaches and trails,” said Ms. Wang during a phone interview with the family. “We wanted to contribute to the community, and it’s good exercise,” Ramon told the News-Press. “When we go to a messy location and at the end of the day, it’s all cleaned up, it’s very satisfying. It’s also nice to get compliments from people who pass by and say ‘Thank you’ or ‘Good job.’ “ Beer bottles and cigarette butts make up most of what they pick up. Noah enjoys being outside after the pandemic shutdown, and like his brother, appreciates the opportunity for exercise and “to do something to beautify the community.” The twins, who will be seniors at Santa Barbara High School next year, maintain a GPA of 4.7 out of a possible 5.0. Their favorite subjects are band and computer science. Noah plays the alto saxophone, and Ramon, the trumpet and French horn. Besides playing their instruments, they enjoy hiking and playing video games and doing other online projects. “After graduation in June 2022, we plan to apply to Yale, Stanford, UC Berkeley and UCSB,” said Ramon. “Our careers will probably have something to do with computer science,” added Noah, the older twin who was born one minute before his brother, according to Ms. Wang. Reluctant to talk about her background because she wanted this story to be about her sons, Ms. Wang was persuaded to reveal that she was born and raised in the central part of China “near where the terracotta soldiers were found.” She was referring to the Please see TERRIFIC on B2

Before coming to the Montecito campus, guests must fill out a health questionnaire at westmont.edu/ visitor-information. “Abstraction is likely the most challenging and often difficult style of art for museum visitors to understand,” said Judy Larson, R. Anthony Askew professor of art history and museum director. “The eight artists in this exhibition range from creators of

geometric abstraction to makers of compositions that incorporate signs and symbols. Some work with collage while others work in a painterly drawing style.” Curated by art historian and cultural critic Peter Frank, the exhibition features cutting-edge abstract painters from around the country: David Bailin, Connie Connally, Brad Ellis, Jeri Ledbetter, Katherine Chang Liu, Sammy Peters, Doug Trump and Wosene Worke Kosrof. Ms. Connally is from Santa Barbara, and Ms. Chang Liu lives and works in Westlake Village. “These two artists from our region of Southern California are making art that has achieved a national reputation,” Dr. Larson said.

“This group formed in reaction not to other art forms but to the art world itself,” Mr. Frank said. “This is their attempt to revalorize the ineffable in art … as abstraction is nothing if not the manifestation of the ineffable.” For a complete catalog of the exhibition, go to abstraction21c. com. — Dave Mason

Rubicon to present Youth Theatre productions By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Rubicon Theatre Company is returning to live performances with three Youth Theatre shows at the outdoor amphitheatre at Villanova Preparatory School, 12096 N. Ventura Ave., Ojai. The Ventura-based company’s shows are Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” “Shrek, the Musical, Jr.” and “Les Misérables.” More than 50 young people aged 18-21 have been enthusiastically participating in Rubicon’s Education and Outreach program this summer, according to a news release. The season kicked off Friday with “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” which will be performed again at 8 tonight. Under the light of a magical midsummer moon, romance runs amok when prankster forest fairies meddle in the affairs of four young Athenians and a group of amateur actors. This is one of Shakespeare’s most popular comedies. The season continues with“Shrek, the Musical, Jr.” at 8 p.m. July 16-18. The musical is based on Dreamworks’ animated film about a big green ogre who ventures out of his comfort zone to discover what inner beauty means. In the process, he finds true love.

The figures were discovered in 1974 by local farmers in Lintong County, outside Xi’an, Shaanxi, China. The sculptures include warriors, chariots and horses. Estimates from 2007 were that the three pits

containing the Terracotta Army held more than 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses, and 150 cavalry horses, the majority of which remained buried in the pits near Qin Shi Huang’s mausoleum. “I studied anthropology at Nanjing University, and after I got my degree, I worked in the Nanjing Municipal Museum in Nanjing, China, for four years. I came to UCSB in 1992 to continue my study of anthropology,” said Ms. Wang. After moving to Summerland in

1998, she was an art curator for a private collector and now teaches Taoist Light Qigong, an ancient Taoist form of practice for health and longevity.

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” — Lao Tzu

ARIES — An unexpected and perhaps unwelcome call or email from a co-worker might mean you have to work some extra hours, Aries. This could be frustrating. You may feel that someone is taking unfair advantage of you. If you aren’t up to doing it, say no. This won’t affect your longterm standing with this person. Otherwise, grit your teeth, dig in, and think of it as a favor. TAURUS — You may have been saving up for something you really wanted, Taurus, when an unexpected expense compels you to spend some of your savings. This could cause some gloom. Make sure you’ve exhausted all of your other options before digging into your nest egg. Appearances could be deceiving. There could be other resources at your disposal that you didn’t immediately think of. GEMINI — Some hidden problems in your house could suddenly appear, Gemini. This could involve plumbing, electricity, or the walls. Repairs are definitely indicated. It’s best if you see to them right away rather than wait. The problem will only escalate if neglected. It’s probably better to call in professionals than to try to do it yourself. Things like this are a drag, but they happen. CANCER — Some strange communications could come your way today, Cancer. Hang-ups or blank emails could have you wondering who the person is and what they want from you. This is probably due more to problems with phone lines or Internet connections than to anything else, so don’t waste time worrying. If you think you know who’s trying to reach you, wait until tomorrow and contact him or her. LEO — A group you’re affiliated with could find some discrepancies in their financial records and ask you to check into it, Leo. This is probably due more to mistaken entries or lost pages than to any major disaster, but solving it will set everyone’s mind at ease. Don’t be surprised if you have to dig through little scraps of paper buried in the bottom of files. It will be worth it, though. VIRGO — Secrets that someone close has been trying to keep hidden could come out today, Virgo. This may or may not be something Earthshaking, but either way, some quick damage control might prevent them from becoming common knowledge. The people around you are more understanding than you know, soNovember express how16, you2015 feel. By Monday, tomorrow it should be old news.

Take care of business and all will be well. LIBRA — Some strange news concerning friends who live far away could come to you secondhand today, Libra. Attempts to reach the people in question may prove fruitless, at least now. Withhold judgment about what you hear until you talk to your friends, as much of what is passed on to you is likely to be misinformation. Tomorrow you should have better luck reaching them. SCORPIO — Some rather unsettling insights into a friend’s thoughts and feelings could come to you today. Your intuition is keener than usual, Scorpio, so trust your instincts about everyone, even strangers. Disconcerting though it may be, the experience will increase your understanding of others and enable you to deal with them in the right way. This could strengthen your relationships. SAGITTARIUS — A disagreement with a friend or family member could cause confusion and hurt feelings if it isn’t nipped in the bud. Communication is the key, Sagittarius. Avert misunderstanding by explaining in detail exactly what it is you need or what you’re prepared to give. Don’t assume everyone knows this already. Do this in person if you can. Phone or email might not be as effective. CAPRICORN — Plans to get some long-neglected tasks done around the house or yard may be interrupted by a phone call from someone dear who lives far away. You might be so excited by the call that you are no longer in the right frame of mind to finish your work once the conversation ends. Don’t worry. You can always get the tasks done later. AQUARIUS — Plans to get together with a close friend or romantic partner might go awry due to circumstances beyond your control, Aquarius. Sudden events could necessitate being out of touch. You might have to face delays when you’re trying to make arrangements. Don’t give up - you will reach your goal but just a little later than you’d hoped. Accept things as they are and change your schedule. These things happen. PISCES — A member of your household has perhaps been withholding some negative emotions for a long time. He or she may finally let loose with everything today. This could prove disconcerting, Pisces, as you probably had no idea this was going on. Some honest talk is definitely in order. Try to show that you understand. All should be fine in the end.

CODEWORD PUZZLE

SUDOKU

Thought for 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.
