Lolita Zinke christens USS Santa Barbara

Build Back Better bill passes House By FORREST MCFARLAND NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

The House passed the $1.75 trillion Build Back Better bill on Friday. The climate change and social policy bill was approved mostly along party lines after the Congressional Budget Office projected it would not significantly affect the country’s deficit or the taxes of average Americans. A proponent for the act, U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, celebrated the landmark bill among other supporters Friday on Capitol Hill. “This is going to have a major positive impact on the Central Coast,” Rep. Carbajal told the News-Press. “This means a huge tax break for working and middle-class families that will cut down on the cost of living. “The bill will lower prescription and premium healthcare costs and make major investments in diverse housing options,” he said. “And it is the biggest effort our country has ever made to address the climate crisis.” Please see BUILD BACK on A3

Santa Barbara native Lolita Zinke christens the USS Santa Barbara during a ceremony in Mobile, Ala.

By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

Santa Barbara native Lolita Zinke, the wife of President Donald Trump’s Secretary of Interior Ryan Zinke, had the honor of christening the USS Santa Barbara LCS (Littoral Combat Ship) 32. The vessel is the third U.S. Navy ship that has been named after Santa Barbara. The first two have been decommissioned. The ship was christened Oct. 16 at Austal USA at the company’s Gulf Coast shipyard in Mobile, Ala. As the ship’s sponsor, Mrs. Zinke performed the ceremonial bottle break over the bow of the ship. “A tremendous amount of pride that I was able to do this and represent my city, and it was an incredible honor,” Mrs. Zinke told the News-Press. “My husband was in the Navy, and my daughter is in the Navy. To be able to christen a ship and contribute to our military history in that way was an incredible honor. It was one of the greatest honors of my life.” The ship is 419 feet long, with a beam (width) of 104 ft, and a draft (depth) of 14 feet. This combat ship berths up to 98 and will have a crew size of between 40 to 60. “About a year ago in October of 2021 we had the keeling ceremony, when they were building a ship

and I welded my initials to the haul of the ship. Austal then took about a year to build the ship,” said Mrs. Zinke. After being commissioned in October 2022, the USS Santa Barbara will be stationed in San Diego, where the ship will join a network battle force, going on missions in the South China Sea. “As a Santa Barbara girl, I am incredibly proud that we are able to bring this honor to the city and our beautiful town here. I am proud I was able to help facilitate in some way the third ship,” Mrs. Zinke said. The commissioning ceremony will take place in October 2022 at Stearns Wharf in Santa Barbara. After the ceremony, the ship will receive its first commanding officer, executive officer and crew. The commissioning is often described as the formal marriage of the ship to the crew. When the ship is released from Austal to the Navy, it will be “bare bones.” This essentially means the ship will be in need of soft furnishings, which includes dinnerware, bedding, etc. The Santa Barbara Navy League will be fundraising over the next year, leading up to the commissioning ceremony. The goal is to raise $1.5 million. To donate, go to usssantabarbara.org. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

COVID-19. “Authorizing the use of a single booster dose of either the Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for individuals 18 years of age and older helps to provide continued protection against COVID-19, including the serious consequences that can occur, such as hospitalization and death,” Acting FDA Commissioner Dr. Janet Woodcock said in a media release. According to surfacing data, the efficacy of vaccines seems to wane over time, requiring booster shots to remain protected. “Streamlining the eligibility criteria and making booster doses available to all

Despite the authorization of the booster shots, only about 58.9% of Americans are currently fully vaccinated. Additionally, only about 70% of healthcare workers are fully vaccinated. The Biden administration suspended its enforcement of a vaccine mandate which requires all businesses with 100 or more employees to ensure their workers are vaccinated or regularly tested by Jan. 4, leaving the future of vaccines and boosters uncertain. Nevertheless, the administration and White House chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci continue to push for Americans to get fully vaccinated and continue with boosters if eligible.

individuals 18 years of age and older will help to eliminate confusion about who may receive a booster dose and ensure booster doses are available to all who may need one,” said Dr. Woodcock. Conversely, the World Health Organization questioned the need for booster shots. The WHO’s chief scientist Dr. Soumya Swaminathan stated that the data does not prove that boosters are needed and urged to prioritize the distribution of vaccines to poorer countries. While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has yet to make a statement concerning the FDA’s decision, states are moving forward with booster shots in anticipation of keeping case numbers down for the holiday season. Previously, California came out in support of booster shots for all adults.

Rittenhouse not guilty of all charges in Kenosha shootings By BENJAMIN YOUN and DAN MCCALEB THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) — A jury found Kyle Rittenhouse not guilty Friday on all five counts against him in the 2020 shootings that killed two men and injured another during rioting in Kenosha, Wis. Rittenhouse shook and broke down in tears before collapsing to the defense table as the not guilty verdicts were read, one by one. Judge Bruce Schroeder ordered him released from custody on the 15th day of the trial and the fourth day of deliberations. Mr. Rittenhouse, 18, faced life in prison if he was convicted of the most serious count, first degree intentional homicide. Throughout the trial, Rittenhouse and his

defense attorneys argued self defense. Mr. Rittenhouse also was acquitted of first degree reckless homicide, two counts of first degree recklessly endangering safety and attempted first degree intentional homicide. David Hancock, spokesperson for the Rittenhouse family, said outside the courthouse the verdict was “one of relief. It’s been a long road. We believe that that was the right verdict.” Mr. Hancock said he thought the jury was “just being very careful” in taking four days to reach a verdict. “Kyle now lives his life as a free young man, as an innocent man, which he is,” he said, adding that Rittenhouse plans to attend college now that he has been cleared.

Parents of man shot and killed by Rittenhouse vow to continue legal fight By DAN MCCALEB THE CENTER SQUARE EXECUTIVE EDITOR

(The Center Square) — The parents of one of the two men shot and killed by Kyle Rittenhouse during three nights of rioting in Kenosha, Wis., last year vowed to continue their fight for justice for their slain son. A jury found Mr. Rittenhouse not guilty Friday of all five charges in the case including first degree intentional homicide in the death of Anthony Huber. “There was no justice today for Anthony, or for Mr. Rittenhouse’s other victims, Joseph Rosenbaum and Gaige Grosskreutz,” Karen Bloom and John Huber said in the statement. “Today’s verdict means there is no accountability for the person who murdered our son,” they said. “It sends the unacceptable message that armed civilians can show up in any town, incite violence, and then use the danger they have created to justify shooting people in the street.”

The shootings occurred August 25, 2020, during Kenosha’s final night of violence in the wake of a police shooting of Jacob Blake, who is black. Rioting broke out in Kenosha in the nights after the police shooting. “Neither Mr. Rittenhouse nor the Kenosha police who authorized his bloody campaign will escape justice,” the parents said. “Anthony will have his day in court.” Ms. Bloom and John Huber did not attend the trial because they said they “could not bear to sit in a courtroom and repeatedly watch videos of our sons murder ...” Kenosha police have denied they authorized armed civilians in Kenosha to help during the riots. “We are so proud of Anthony, and we love him so much,” the parents said. “He is a hero who sacrificed his own life to protect other innocent civilians. We ask that you remember Anthony and keep him in your prayers.” email: dmccaleb@ thecentersquare.com

Mr. Hancock added: “There’s no spiking a football. Two people did lose their lives.” The shootings occurred August 25, 2020, during Kenosha’s final night of violence in the wake of a police shooting of Jacob Blake, who is Black. A Kenosha police officer shot and wounded Mr. Blake on Aug. 23, 2020. Police were trying to arrest Mr. Blake that day for violating an order of protection. He was at his ex-girlfriend’s home. She had accused Mr. Blake of sexual assault not long before. Rioting broke out in Kenosha in the nights after the police shooting. Mr. Rittenhouse, an Illinois resident who was 17 at the time, said he and a friend traveled to Kenosha to protect local businesses from rioters and provide medical assistance to anyone needing it during the unrest. Armed with an AR15 semi-automatic rifle, Mr. Rittenhouse shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and injured Gaige Grosskreut. Mr. Rittenhouse said the men attacked him and he was acting in self-defense. The case drew national attention and spurred debate about the protests and riots, and what constitutes self defense. Mr. Rittenhouse took the stand last week and said he fired only because he feared for his life. Video from the scene showed Mr. Rosenbaum chasing Rittenhouse through a parking lot and throwing a plastic bag at him. Shortly after the Rosenbaum shooting, video showed Mr. Rittenhouse running and tripping. Mr. Huber lunged at Rittenhouse and swung a skateboard at his head. Mr. Grosskreutz admitted on the stand that he pointed his handgun at Mr. Rittenhouse before Mr. Rittenhouse shot and injured Mr. Grosskreutz. Mr. Hancock said it was Mr. Rittenhouse’s decision to take the stand, a decision that many legal observers questioned during the trial. Prosecutors argued that Mr. Rittenhouse lost his claim to self defense because he showed up in Kenosha on that night with a rifle. Mr. Rittenhouse’s lawyers said it was legal for Mr. Rittenhouse to have the rifle, and argued it was illegal for the crowd to attack Mr. Rittenhouse. “To say that we were

relieved would be a gross misunderstanding,” Rittenhouse Defense Attorney Mark Richards said in a statement. “... He has a huge sense of relief for what the jury did to him today. He wishes none of this would have ever happened.” Lead prosecutor Thomas Binger said he was disappointed with the verdict but thanked jurors. “While we are disappointed with the verdict, it must be respected,” Mr. Binger said in a statement. “We are grateful to the members of the jury for their diligent and thoughtful deliberations. The Kenosha community has endured much over the past 15 months, and yet we remain resilient and strong. We ask that members of our community continue to express their opinions and feelings about this verdict in a civil and peaceful manner.” Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers ordered 500 National Guard troops to be ready to move into Kenosha if protests or violence break out as a result of the verdict. Kenosha schools also reverted to remote learning out of concern for potential violence.

California leads in jobs gains, still holds highest unemployment rate By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER

(The Center Square) — California had the largest job gains in October but it can’t shake the highest unemployment rate in the nation, according to an employment report released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The report found that California and Nevada had the highest unemployment rate in the nation in October, standing at 7.3%. Nationwide, the unemployment rate is 4.6%, which is down 0.2% since September, according to Friday’s report. Despite having the highest unemployment rate in the nation, California did lead in job gains in October, adding 96,800 non-farm jobs last month. That number accounts for about 18.2% of the nation’s 531,000 total jobs gained in October, according to a news release

from the governor’s office. “California has again created more new jobs than any other state – averaging six figure job growth for nine months straight – an unprecedented achievement as our economy continues to recover from the pandemic,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement Friday. “But there’s more work to be done, and we’re laser focused on supporting those hardest hit by the pandemic and getting folks back on the job.” Since October 2020, California’s unemployment rate dropped 2.5%, from 9.8% last October to 7.3% this year. In addition, the state has regained about 67.4% of jobs lost in March and April 2020 due to the pandemic, according to the governor’s office.

Carbajal anticipates little pushback in Senate BUILD BACK

Continued from Page A1

The package additionally provides funding for universal preschool for 3- and 4-year-olds, expands family leave and bolsters Pell grants for college tuition. The bill includes Rep. Carbajal’s California Clean Coast Act, the first bill the congressman introduced as a member of Congress, which permanently bans future offshore oil and gas leasing off the coast of California. The White House and affirming Democrats claim the Build Back Better bill will invest in the middle class at the expense of taxevading corporations and the top 0.02% of Americans. “Everybody’s going to have to pay their fair share now,” Rep. Carbajal told the News-Press. “The upper echelons of earners and corporations in this country will be paying their fair share, which for the most part will pay for this particular legislation.”

The bill includes Rep. Carbajal’s California Clean Coast Act, the first bill the congressman introduced as a member of Congress, which permanently bans future offshore oil and gas leasing off the coast of California. However, some senators, including Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, criticized the House proposal to lift the cap on state and local tax deductions on the grounds that it would disproportionately help wealthy Americans. Supporters of the bill claim the legislation pays for itself with additions that bolster the economy. “It strengthens our economy by creating jobs,” Rep. Carbajal said. “This is going to bring great prosperity to working and middleclass Americans.” The bill is moving forward to the Senate and will need the votes of all Democrats, including

two major players, West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin and Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema. Both are moderates. However, Rep. Carbajal anticipates little to no pushback. “There’s already been a lot of negotiation, and we’ve come a long way in getting consensus on this legislation,” Rep. Carbajal said.“The majority of this legislation will make it through the Senate and to the President’s desk.” Rep. Carbajal joins other supporters in predicting a December dash to present the bill to the Senate before 2022. email: fmcfarland@newspress.com

CRAWFORD, Leland McCormack, Jr.

July 10, 1929 — September 23, 2021

On September 23, 2021, Leland McCormack Crawford, Jr. passed peacefully at home in Montecito. Family and caregivers were by his side. Leland, the youngest of three children, was born at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital on July 10, 1929. He spent his childhood riding bikes with his two sisters from the Santa Barbara Mission to the Montecito Country Club, the Coral Casino, Miramar Beach and the muni tennis courts. He later graduated from Santa Barbara High School and UC Berkeley, where he met his wife Francesca Jensen. He was an active Chi Phi fraternity brother and finished his law degree at UC Hastings. After serving in the U.S. Army, Leland practiced law for 52 years in Santa Barbara, 7 of those years in partnership with his father. Always civic minded, Leland served frequently as President of the board -- sometimes more than twice -- for the following organizations: Rotary Club of Santa Barbara, The State Bar Associations of both Santa Barbara and CA, Casa Dorinda, Lobero Theatre, Montecito Retirement Association, Santa Barbara Mental Health Association, and the State of CA Mental Health Association. He served as a board member for the Boy Scouts of America, Kiwanis Club, Montecito YMCA, Santa Barbara Historical Society, and Valley Club, the latter his pride and joy for being one of its longest-term members. During their active and loving 63 years of marriage, Leland and Frani volunteered for Montecito’s Beautification Day and many other charities, played tennis and golf, danced, socialized with friends and family, and organized golf trips all over the world. Leland read volumes of historical novels and books on US and world history, rarely missing the chance to debate history or current affairs. Never a dull moment be had when in his company. He shall be missed. Leland was predeceased by his mother Mae McCormack and his father Leland Morris Crawford; his sisters Eleanor Cassedy and Elizabeth Fee; and his adoring, beloved wife Francesca Jensen Crawford, whom he finally joins to continue their eternity of love and friendship. Leland is survived by his devoted daughter Paula Emmens and her husband Bruce; son Leland M. Crawford, III and his wife Stacey; granddaughter Sophia Crawford Hennigan and her husband Dan; grandson Robert Emmens. Services will be held at All Saints-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church in Montecito on Tuesday, November 23rd at 2pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Santa Barbara Mental Health Association and Santa Barbara Historical Society.

You may notice changes in your loved ones when you visit them for the holidays, and that may spell the need for a conversation, said Kathryn Cherkas, program director of the Alzheimer’s Association California Central Coast Chapter. But she added it’s also important to enjoy the moment with them. “Focus on the joy of the now.”

Holidays and dementia

Alzheimer’s Association points to signs of memory loss that you may see in family members By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

his Thanksgiving many people will be seeing some of their family members or friends for the first time since the pandemic started. And during their holiday visits, they might notice something’s different about their parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts or other loved ones. The Alzheimer’s Association California Central Coast Chapter advises families how to watch for symptoms of Alzheimer’s and other dementia as well as how to have difficult conversations with their loved ones. It’s normal for people to experience some memory loss as they age, said Kathryn Cherkas, the program director for the chapter, which has its headquarters in Santa Barbara. “Abnormal memory loss is when that memory loss disrupts daily life,” Ms. Cherkas told the NewsPress. She said such memory loss could also involve struggles with following instructions or remembering recently learned information. “Forgetting names of people or things is very common, especially early on in Alzheimer’s,” Ms.

Cherkas said. She added that people with Alzheimer’s or other dementia may lean on others to help them with the information. One red flag is someone not knowing where they are or how they got there, Ms. Cherkas said. She added another sign is difficulty with forming sentences or remembering words. “That is so frustrating, particularly for people in the early stages.” “Losing your ability to form a sentence, when you know what you’re trying to say, must be the most frustrating thing in the world,” Ms. Cherkas said. She said other signs can be decreased or poor judgment, trouble with decision making or failure to maintain personal hygiene. “I’m working with the Santa Barbara Police Department to restructure their approach when someone with dementia is wandering,” Ms. Cherkas said. “One of the main things we look for is how they’re dressed, whether they’re adhering to traffic signals. They’re often dressed inappropriately, not wearing shoes or wearing their clothes backward.” Other signs of memory problems can include things such as failing to pay bills or not changing the oil in the car, Ms. Cherkas said.

She noted changes in moods or personalities can be a red flag. “They start becoming much more aggressive, or maybe they even become much nicer or they find everything funny or they’re hugging people for the first time in their lives,” she said. Ms. Cherkas cited the example of one woman who kindly invited everyone sleeping on the streets to come into her home. “There was a sweet change in mood and personality, but there was poor judgment, and it was very dangerous for her.” She added, “Someone who is living with Alzheimer’s or dementia might become more confused, suspicious, fearful or anxious, which are the more common symptoms that we see. “As we age, it’s normal that you develop specific ways for doing things,” Ms. Cherkas said. “For someone with dementia, changes are not just annoying to them. They’re very frightening and extremely frustrating.” She said something as simply as changing dinner plans from turkey to spaghetti could trigger a response. Another sign of memory loss is when people in the early stages of dementia or Alzheimer’s try to pretend know everyone, Ms. Please see ALZHEIMER’S on B2

It’s important to connect with a loved one in the moment, Ms. Cherkas of the Alzheimer’s Association said. “If that means doing a crossword puzzle, just do that. Find what makes them happy.”

Study: Travel affects management of diabetes By DAVE MASON

NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Traveling a long distance makes management of type 1 diabetes more difficult. That’s the conclusion of a Sansum Diabetes Research Institute study, in which SDRI flew trial participants with diabetes from Santa Barbara to New York City or Hawaii. The study was published recently in the American Diabetes Association’s Diabetes Care. The article, “Travelling Across Time Zones With Type 1 Diabetes” is at https://care.diabetesjournals. org/content/early/2021/10/28/dc211524. The participants in the travel study used multiple daily injections of insulin as part of their self-management of type 1 diabetes. The study compared two different long-acting basal insulins; glargine and degludec, and

employed the use of continuous glucose monitoring systems. “In the study, we found that it’s very difficult for people with type 1 diabetes to maintain good control of blood glucose levels while traveling long distances,” said Dr. David Kerr, SDRI’s director of research and innovation, in a news release. “For people living with type 1 diabetes, international guidelines recommend having a blood glucose level between 70 and 180 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) at least 70% of the time. In this study with participants flying across multiple time zones, we found that achieving this proved to be elusive.” The average time spent in the target blood glucose range was only 50% to 65%. About onethird of study participants’ travel was spent above 180 mg/dL. Ten percent of the time, participants were hypoglycemic, or below 70 mg/dL, according to Sansum

Diabetes Research Institute. “Crossing multiple time zones affects circadian rhythms with impacts on a person’s mood, sleep, and fatigue levels,” said Dr. Kerr. “For people using insulin injections, the impact of changes in circadian rhythms will invariably make maintaining safe and appropriate glucose levels much more difficult.” “As we come out of the pandemic and global travel increases, there is a challenge for people using insulin in all stages of their journey. From the moment they decide to go on a trip, they need to consider what to pack, what to put in their hand luggage versus in the aircraft hold, but also, what about the timing and dosing of their insulin. On arrival at their destination, there are additional concerns related to supplies, unaccustomed physical activity and foods, in addition to the time zone impacts. This is

particularly a problem for people using multiple daily injections of insulin.” “Sadly, there is not enough research in this area and certainly not enough good quality advice for people on insulin about how to prepare for long distance travel,” added Dr. Kerr. “It means that we need to do much more research to try to create an evidence-based approach helping people on insulin when they wish to travel around the world.” “We are especially looking to collaborate with medical device companies involved in closed loop systems to provide a safer and better option for insulin-treated individuals planning travel across multiple time zones,” said Dr. Kerr.

Kathryn Cherkas, program director of the Alzheimer’s Association California Central Coast Chapter, said she and her team are here 365 days a year to help people with Alzheimer’s or dementia and those who love them.

FYI For more information, go to alz.org/ cacentralcoast or call the Alzheimer’s Association California Central Coast chapter at 800-272-3900.

Cherkas said. “More likely than not, if they’re able to recognize their memory loss, they might try to overcompensate because they don’t want to be rude.” When people see signs of memory problems with their loved ones, they need to ask themselves what else may be going on in their lives, Ms. Cherkas said. “Do they have other health issues?” Stress and changes in medication can be factors, Ms. Cherkas said. After you see signs of memory loss, consider who would be the best person to discuss the concerns with the loved one, such as a trusted family member or a friend or a combination, Ms. Cherkas said. She advises against having an entire group talk to the person with memory problems. “We recommend having this conversation one on one, so this person doesn’t feel like it’s an ambush or an intervention,” she said. Ms. Cherkas suggests

making observations or asking compassionate questions during that conversation. “I noticed you haven’t shaved your beard in a while. Have you decided not to do this anymore? Is there something I can do to help? “You can also offer to go to the doctor with the person and say, ‘Let’s see if the doctor can figure out what’s going on,’” Ms. Cherkas said. She explained the approach should be to determine the scenario that makes the person feel the most comfortable. And people can reach out to the California Central Coast Chapter for help, Ms. Cherkas said. “My team and I are here, 365 days a year, on the health line.” She also noted that difficult conversations about loved ones don’t have to take place immediately. Be sure, she said, to enjoy the holidays with them. “Focus on the joy of the now. During the holidays, appreciate whoever you are visiting. Be present with the person as much as you can be.” 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.

ARIES — Issues of love and romance may be climactic now. You may be in a relationship phase approaching a major turn in the road. Perhaps there’s a sudden breakdown in communication. Perhaps you realize that you rely much more on this person than you first thought. If you aren’t intimately involved with someone, you should probably consider this a good situation for now. TAURUS — You may be drawn to someone because of the things you share in common. You both appreciate art, music, and romantic dinners, but this person may not be a good permanent mate for you. He or she is unwilling to take the first step, or is indecisive about important issues. If you’re uninvolved now, look for someone who challenges your quick wit and isn’t afraid to make the first move. GEMINI — Love and romance are in your favor even though roadblocks may keep you from taking full advantage of the situation. You’re being much too picky about the type of person you seek. Love isn’t meant to be a set of desired qualities on a shopping list. You can’t realistically create a scenario of how things will work out. Let things proceed naturally. CANCER — If things begin to stir, change, or fluctuate in love and romance, your first impulse is to overreact. This is probably the opposite of what you should do. Instead of quickly jumping to conclusions, you should sit back and let things slowly unfold. Resist the urge to make a move today just because your emotions are in an uproar. LEO — When it comes to topics of love and romance, your feelings continue to be intercepted by words and opinions from others. What you want to keep private is suddenly made more public by mouths that just don’t stop talking. Relax into the sensual element of love instead of getting caught up in more political aspects of the situation. VIRGO — Certain areas of your life are expanding rapidly, causing you to lose touch with the more romantic aspects. The more you reach out in one direction, the more deprived you feel in the opposite direction. Perhaps you need more input as to where you put your energy. It’s time to focus your attention on things that are working well instead of dwelling

on things that are going nowhere. LIBRA — The time has come for you to take charge in matters of love and romance. This isn’t often the case for you who normally like to let others take the lead in this department. A new phase has begun in your love life. You should think about expanding outward into new realms with new people and new circumstances, or both. It’s time you were in charge. SCORPIO — You may be taking a back-seat approach when it comes to love and romance. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In fact, this kind of attitude works to your advantage. By going with the flow and waiting for another to make the first move, you can spend more time on you instead of sending your energy outward toward others. SAGITTARIUS — Love may become more sensual. You should consider new ways in which to pamper your special someone. There may be gossip associated with your relationship that turns you off at first, but don’t let that get in the way of expressing your true feelings. Real communication about this partnership will be primarily nonverbal. CAPRICORN — Your mind may be in an expansive mode now. Many things should be working for you. Your flexibility and ability to juggle many things at once should make tasks that require these talents a breeze. Unfortunately, they may not help too much when it comes to love and romance. You may not have the communication you desire with a close partner. You could find it easier to communicate with strangers! AQUARIUS — Don’t give up on finding the romantic partner of your dreams, because now is your chance. Talk is spurring you to take action. Don’t be surprised if a bit of friction keeps you from jumping into the situation with both feet. Hang in there. Once you get below the surface, you’ll find that there’s much more to this person than first meets the eye. PISCES — Be careful about declaring your love for someone when you haven’t spent enough time with him or her to make that call. You may base this impulse on superficial encounters and brief conversations. You may not have the long history or deep discussions needed to know if this person is as ideal for you as you think. Don’t be fooled by fast talk and high fashion.

October southern border encounters see 129% increase over last year By BETHANY BLANKLEY THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) — Border Patrol agents encountered 129.7% more people at the southern border this year than last, according to new data published by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The greatest number of encounters was in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas and the greatest percentage increase was in Yuma, Arizona. Illegal border crossings have skyrocketed since President Joe Biden took office in January. In October 2021, there were 158,575 encounters with foreign nationals entering the U.S. illegally compared to 69,032 in October 2020. The majority, 104,441, were single adults, a 74.9% increase from the previous year. The next largest number was 41,487 individuals in family units, representing a 795.3% increase. Unaccompanied children and single minors totaled 12,647, a 169.8% increase compared to last October. The majority of single adults that entered the U.S. illegally were from Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador. The majority of unaccompanied minors came from Honduras. Consistent with past months, the Rio Grande Valley in Texas sees the most traffic. In October, 45,324 people were encountered illegally entering the country in the valley. The next greatest number came through Del Rio, Texas, followed by Yuma, Arizona. All southern border sectors saw increases except for Laredo, which had fewer encounters this October than last October. The sector with the largest percentage increase was Yuma – 2,647.5%. The next highest was Del Rio – 232 percent. Along the southwest border, agents processed 12,268 people for expedited removal. They also processed 1,851 for reinstatement of prior removal, and 2,303 for voluntary return. The majority were apprehended under Title 8: 66,736. Title 8 enforcement refers to apprehensions of individuals who were determined to be inadmissible for a range of reasons, sought humanitarian protection under the law, or withdrew an application for admission and returned to their countries of origin within a short timeframe. Apprehensions refer to “the physical control or temporary detainment of a person who is not lawfully in the U.S. which may or may not result in an arrest,” CBP explains.

In October 2021, there were 158,575 encounters with foreign nationals entering the U.S. illegally compared to 69,032 in October 2020. The majority, 104,441, were single adults, a 74.9% increase from the previous year. The next largest number processed by agents in October was 20,092 people who were given Notices to Appear and were detained. The next largest number, 17,126, were given a Notice to Appear/Order of Recognizance and released into the interior of the U.S. until their immigration hearing, which has not yet been scheduled and often takes years. Under the previous administration, those waiting for a hearing were required to remain in Mexico, a policy the Biden administration halted, but was ordered to reinstate by a federal judge. In addition to apprehensions of people entering the U.S. illegally, CBP agents perform a wide range of other duties. On a typical day this past calendar year, agents processed 650,178 passengers and pedestrians travelling legally nationwide, including people driving 187,049 privately owned vehicles. Agents also processed 77,895 truck, rail and sea containers. They also conducted 1,107 apprehensions between U.S. ports of entry, arresting 39 wanted criminals on a typical day. Also on a typical day, they encountered 634 inadmissible people at U.S. ports of entry, intercepted 269 fraudulent documents, and seized 3,677 pounds of narcotics.

State school board groups in Illinois, other states revolt over parent directive By KEVIN BESSLER THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER

(The Center Square) — The Illinois Association of School Boards is part of a growing number of state school board groups cutting ties with a national organization that likened parents protesting at meetings to domestic terrorists. The National School Boards Association has been under fire after it sent a letter to federal officials in September asking for help. The U.S. Justice Department then instructed the FBI to monitor and investigate parents who they deemed troublesome for protesting the teaching of critical race theory and mask mandates in schools. The Illinois Association of School Boards voted Thursday to end its membership with the National School Boards Association. “The board recognizes the need for a healthy national organization that can provide training, federal advocacy, shared resources, and networking opportunities,” the organization said in a statement. “IASB no longer believes that NSBA can fill this important role.” The NSBA board of directors repudiated the letter its two top officials sent to President Joe Biden. In a message to NSBA members, the board said that “we regret and apologize for the letter.” Republican members of Congress revealed internal FBI documents that showed the FBI is “tagging” parents nationally who

At least 26 state school boards associations have distanced themselves from the NSBA over the controversial letter. have allegedly harassed school board members, raising First Amendment concerns. “This brings us back to the days of Hoover and McCarthyism ... good honest American citizens are now being vilified and basically tracked by our own Department of Justice,” said U.S. Rep. Greg Murphy, R-North Carolina, told Fox News. The FBI responded to the claims, insisting that the agency is not infringing on First Amendment rights and is not investigating parents who speak out at school board meetings. At least 26 state school boards associations have distanced themselves from the NSBA over the controversial letter. Of them, thirteen discontinued membership or stopped paying dues as Illinois did. “Parents should never be treated as domestic terrorists for showing up at school board meetings to advocate for their kids,” said U.S. Rep. Mary Miller, who represents Illinois’ 15th District. “I believe that Illinois parents and families should play a central role in their children’s education, not the federal government.”
