You might want a light jacket. The National Weather Service is predicting the daily highs to dive as low as 67 over the next few days in Santa Barbara. The weather service said “an unseasonably cool and cloudy weather pattern” will continue, followed by a warming trend around the middle of next week. On Wednesday, the weather service reported highs of 75 at the Santa Barbara City Fire Department, 72 in Goleta, 77 in Santa Ynez, 66 in Lompoc and 65 in Santa Maria. New Cuyama, not surprisingly, was the hottest spot on record with a high of 84. From there, the temperatures fall. The weather service’s forecast for Santa Barbara calls for highs of 73 today, 70 Friday, 67 Saturday and 68 Sunday. Then the highs in Santa Barbara will inch back up, to 70 Monday, 72 Tuesday and 76 on Aug. 25. A

similar trend of highs is predicted for UCSB and Santa Maria, but Lompoc’s highs are forecast to remain in the low 70s through Aug. 25. The other question is all those clouds that blanketed the entire Santa Barbara sky until night fell Wednesday. The National Weather Service predicts partly cloudy skies the rest of this week and most of next in Santa Barbara, UCSB, Santa Maria, Lompoc and Santa Ynez. Not that things won’t be hot in Santa Ynez. The weather service is predicting highs there of 84 today, 79 on Friday and Saturday, 81 on Sunday, 85 on Monday, 87 on Tuesday and 91 on Aug. 25. (You can give away your jacket to the folks in Santa Barbara.) Cuyama will remain hot with highs of 87 today, 90 Friday, 88 Saturday, 89 Sunday, 92 Monday, 95 Tuesday and a sizzling 99 on Aug. 25. email: dmason@newspress.com

ExxonMobil’s proposal to truck oil out of its Las Flores Canyon facility along the Central Coast could face opposition from county officials after this week’s environmental impact report that the project could have “unavoidable” impacts. On Monday, the Santa Barbara County Planning and Development Department released the final Supplemental Environmental Impact Review, which outlined several impacts of ExxonMobil’s proposed project ranging in severity from “significant” to “mitigatable.” The project, as it currently stands, proposes trucking oil from Las Flores Canyon to the Santa Maria Pump Station via Highway 101 and to the Pentland Terminal in Kern County via State Route 166. If approved, up to 70 trucks per day carrying more than 6,700 gallons of oil each would be traveling along the Central Coast to receiving facilities in

Santa Maria and beyond. According to Monday’s report, an accidental oil spill from a truck crash during transport is a Class 1 “unavoidable” impact of the project and has the potential to harm “sensitive resources including biological, cultural and water resources.” The report estimates that if an entire truckload of 160 barrels spilled, the oil would cover about a quarter of an acre and spread about 500 feet from where the spill occured. The risk of these types of spills could be reduced, however, it is not outright avoidable, the report attests. According to historical data outlined in the report, the annual probability of an oil spill of five gallons or more is about once every 52 years for trucks headed to Santa Maria and about once every 17 years for trucks bound for Kern County. Environmental officials, however, say that this number is largely understated. In a news release, the Please see PROPOSAL on A4

Report: ExxonMobil trucking proposal could leave impacts

The sun is forecast to come from behind the clouds today. Highs, meanwhile, will fall as low as 67 in Santa Barbara over the next few days, according to the National Weather Service.

U.S. health officials and President Joe Biden unveiled plans Wednesday to offer booster shots of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines to previously inoculated individuals to provide additional protection against the highly transmissible delta variant. Booster shots are now recommended for all Americans who completed their vaccine series with the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines at least eight months ago, the Department of Health and Human Services said in a statement. Officials said they are prepared to offer booster shots starting Sept. 20 for those eligible. The booster shots will initially be administered to people who received one of the mRNA vaccines in late 2020 and early 2021, focusing largely on healthcare workers, nursing home residents and elderly individuals. Officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, and the National Institutes of Health released a joint statement on Wednesday explaining that recent data shows vaccine protection against COVID-19

wanes over time. With the delta variant circulating and posing the risk for breakthrough infection, officials said they expect protection with a booster shot is needed to provide additional protection. “The available data make very clear that protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection begins to decrease over time following the initial doses of vaccination, and in association with the dominance of the delta variant, we are starting to see evidence of reduced protection against mild and moderate disease,” officials said in a statement. “Based on our latest assessment, the current protection against severe disease, hospitalization, and death could diminish in the months ahead, especially among those who are at higher risk or were vaccinated during the earlier phases of the vaccination rollout.” “For that reason, we conclude that a booster shot will be needed to maximize vaccine-induced protection and prolong its durability.” Health officials anticipate that those who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine will likely need booster protection as well. Additional data on the J&J booster shot is likely to

Biden: Afghan chaos unavoidable By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

NEWS-PRESS FILE PHOTO

President Joe Biden said the goal is to evacuate all Americans from Afghanistan by Aug. 31, but U.S. troops could remain longer, if necessary, to accomplish that.

President Joe Biden says the chaos in Afghanistan couldn’t have been avoided. “Look, one of the things we didn’t know is what the Taliban would do in terms of trying to keep people from getting out. What would they do? What are they doing now?” the president told ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos during a televised interview Wednesday. “They’re cooperating, letting American citizens get out, American personnel get out, embassies get out, etc., but they’re having — we’re having some more difficulty having those who helped us when we were in there.” An estimated 10,000 to 15,000 Americans and tens of thousands of vulnerable Afghans are trying to leave Afghanistan. Civilians have swamped planes at the Kabul airport. President Biden said U.S. troops will remain until all

Americans are evacuated. He said the goal remains to do that by Aug. 31, but he’s prepared to have troops remain after Aug. 31 if there are more Americans to be evacuated. Pentagon officials Wednesday said they’re working with the Taliban to make sure Americans safely reach the Kabul airport. The crisis in Afghanistan has set the stage for bipartisan criticism of President Biden’s handling of the withdrawal of U.S. troops. Biden administration officials are expected to start answering questions from Congress as early as next week. Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said he will work with other committees to determine why the U.S. wasn’t better prepared.

Sheriff’s Office promotes safe driving GOLETA — Ahead of Labor Day Weekend, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office is reminding local residents to always choose to drive safe and sober. To help keep the community safe heading into the end of summer, the Sheriff’s Office will have extra officers on patrol between now and Sept. 6 looking for drivers suspected of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. In addition to the added patrols, deputies will hold a DUI checkpoint Aug. 27 from 6 p.m. to Aug. 28 at 2 a.m. at an undisclosed location within Goleta. “Driving impaired is risky and puts yourself and others around you in serious danger,” Sgt.

SANTA BARBARA — On Friday, the Santa Barbara Police Department will have officers out in the community educating members of the public how to monitor alcohol intake through a program called “Know Your Limit.” The “Know Your Limit” program raises awareness about the dangers of drinking and driving and how little alcohol it takes to reach the legal driving limit. For anyone 21 and older, the legal limit is a blood alcohol content of .08% or higher. Officers will be engaging with community members about the “Know Your Limit” program from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. throughout the city this Friday. “The goal is to help people understand the effects of alcohol so they can make smart decisions about how they get home,” Sgt. Stephanie Trujillo said in a statement. “It only takes a few drinks to impair, and that’s why it is important that people know their limit.” According to a news release, a person’s height, weight, food intake, drug/medication use and how much they drink over a period of time are all factors that impact BAC. The average cost of a first-time DUI is approximately $13,500, including vehicle impound fees, fines, attorney fees, autoinsurance hikes and other penalties, according to a news release. — Madison Hirneisen

GOLETA — Santa Barbara County sheriff’s deputies are investigating a fatal crash involving a motorcycle and vehicle that occurred Tuesday night at Cathedral Oaks Road. According to the Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to the crash with the Santa Barbara County Fire Department and AMR around 8:36 p.m. Tuesday. The crash occurred on Cathedral Oaks Road between Glen Annie and Los Carneros. Upon arrival, deputies saw a red Kawasaki partially wedged under a green Subaru sedan. The motorcyclist was declared dead at the scene, and the two passengers in the Sedan were uninjured, according to the Sheriff’s Office. Deputies closed the portion of Cathedral Oaks Road Tuesday night through the early morning hours Wednesday to conduct an investigation with the Sheriff’s Major Accident Response Team (SMART). Thus far, deputies have determined that “drugs, alcohol, impairment and distraction were not a factor for the driver of the Subaru,” the Sheriff’s Office said in a news release. The motorcyclist who died in the collision was 22-year-old Mikha Benedictus of Goleta. The cause of the crash was still under investigation as of Wednesday afternoon.

County OKs negotiations for Community Workforce Agreement By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday narrowly approved negotiation of a Community Workforce Agreement, advancing a measure that has been in the making for nearly seven years. Supervisors voted 3-2 to direct Public Works staff to negotiate the agreement, utilizing a template created by the city of Santa Barbara earlier this year. After deliberations Tuesday, Board Chair Bob Nelson and Supervisor Steve Lavagnino were opposed to the board’s final conclusion. They said that more time was needed to negotiate with local stakeholders before advancing the agreement. A CWA is a contractually binding negotiation and agreement between a project owner and the building construction and trade union. It requires that all contractors working on a project adhere to a collective bargaining agreement. The county has never before used a CWA, but the Board of Supervisors has discussed the creation of a CWA for county projects since 2014. The city of Santa Barbara’s CWA, which passed earlier this year, was negotiated with the TriCounty Building & Construction Trades Council. The city’s CWA outlines certain requirements for local participation, benefit plans and construction inspection. During Tuesday’s meeting, union members, representatives and trade workers presented viewpoints both for and against the CWA measure, staking their claims during a lengthy public comment period. More than 30 public commenters presented their arguments before the board on Tuesday. Those in favor of a CWA said the agreement ensures a steady supply of skilled labor, creates opportunities for local contractors and outlines provisions for worksite conditions. Those opposed to the measure argued that it places an additional burden on nonunion contractors when bidding on projects. During Tuesday’s meeting, the county’s Public Works Department said it estimates that a CWA could drive up bidding costs by 21% and therefore reduce the number of bids on a project. Elias Garcia, a representative from the general contractors of California, told the supervisors he did not believe a CWA was necessary because “the county has already been successfully building projects without a CWA up until this point.” The limitations of the proposed CWA would cause problems for union contractors in terms of assigning their workforce and paying benefits, he added. “Our union contractors will face jurisdictional issues when deciding which unions to assign

be unveiled within the next few weeks, officials said. President Joe Biden voiced his support for the booster shots at the White House Wednesday. “This will boost your immune response. It will increase your protection from COVID-19,” the president said. “That’s the best way to protect ourselves from new variants that could arise.” The booster shots will be available for people 18 and older in the initial rollout, as officials are still awaiting FDA review of the booster shot for people vaccinated between ages 12 and 17, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murphy told reporters Wednesday. The need for booster shots comes as the delta variant accounts for more than 98.8% of current U.S. cases, according to the latest CDC data. In Santa Barbara County, more than 95% of cases sequenced in July revealed the delta variant, according to data from the county’s Public Health Department. With the delta variant gaining traction in the county in recent weeks, the Public Health Department has reported a recent uptick in cases. On Wednesday, the department reported 135

the work to, and our open shop folks will be subject to the difficulties of not being able to bring on their entire workforce that they’ve been working with in addition to paying benefits that they may never see,” Mr. Garcia said. Other public commenters, however, went before the board Tuesday to voice support for the measure. Among them was Jonathan Duran, a representative with Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters. He told the board that the CWA would help create opportunities for members of the local community. “The proposal will help many hardworking men and women to land employment locally, earn a decent wage (and) keep tax dollars here in Santa Barbara County,” Mr. Duran said. “This should not be looked at as an expense, rather, consider this as a return on your investment.” Similar to the public commenters, supervisors were largely divided over the way forward with the measure.. Supervisor Lavagnino said the board should not try to “sell” the CWA developed by the city of Santa Barbara as the “middle ground.” Instead, he said, the board should bring stakeholders to the table and include them in the discussion. He said he was having a hard time finding a “compelling reason” to advance the measure without further deliberations. “I see no reason why we’re going to discriminate against folks we currently do business that are doing an outstanding job who hire 100% local, have a lot of local people working for them, and a lot of them, like we talked about, are trying to form a middle class,” Mr. Lavagnino said. “I don’t know why we wouldn’t at least invite them to the table and say, ‘Let’s try to discuss this.’ ” Other supervisors, including Das Williams and Joan Hartmann, who voted in favor of advancing the measure Tuesday, said that the CWA helps to ensure local workers are included in county projects. During his remarks at the meeting, Mr. Williams said a CWA helps to protect local workers and the region’s shrinking middle class. “We want local workers, and we also want workers who are getting paid enough and getting enough benefits,” Mr. Williams said. “And it’s hard to set a bar, but it makes sense for us to set a bar. So for me that’s what this is about. It’s about us as a community having, in my view, a desperate mission to protect what is left of our middle class.” After deliberations among board members, Supervisors Williams, Hartmann and Gregg Hart voted in favor of advancing CWA negotiations.

PROPOSAL

Continued from Page A1

Environmental Defense Center cited data from the California Highway Patrol that revealed 258 oil trucking accidents along ExxonMobil’s proposed route occured between 2015 and 2021, which resulted in 10 deaths and 110 injuries. One of these recorded incidents occurred in March 2020 when a truck crashed off of State Route 166 and spilled 4,500 gallons of oil into the Cuyama River above the Twitchell Reservoir. Given the rate of trucking accidents, environmentalists say the approval of ExxonMobil’s proposed trucking would cause potential harm to drivers and wildlife along the Gaviota coast. “A lot of times when people think about oil spills, they think about creeks and wildlife and environmental damage, but these kinds of accidents also kind of have a serious effect on public health and safety,” Linda Krop, chief counsel for the EDC, told the News-Press Wednesday. “And so when we looked at the history of oil tanker trucks, we found

fatalities as well as impacts to the environment.” Ms. Krop recalled the tanker oil spill that shut down Highway 101 during the Thomas Fire evacuations in 2018, which ultimately led to a highway closure that lasted 19 hours. She said allowing trucking opens the possibility for more accidents of this nature, which would impact both the environment and public safety. In addition to the risk of oil spills, the county also identified other environmental impacts in the report that are deemed “significant but mitigatable.” These increased greenhouse gas emissions, diminished air quality and increased traffic on highways during peak hours in the morning and evening. All of these environmental impacts could pose a challenge for ExxonMobil moving forward, especially with the release of the impact report coming just weeks before the project is to go before the county’s Planning Commission on Sept. 29 and Oct. 1. Following the Planning Commission hearing, the plan will move to the Board of Supervisors, where county officials will determine the fate

of the project. As the county policy currently stands, ExxonMobil is only allowed to transport oil via pipeline, and no trucking is permitted at this time. Therefore, this project proposal essentially asks the Board of Supervisors, who oversee the county’s transportation policy, to amend the current policy to allow for trucking until another pipeline can be built or the Plains Pipeline can be restored. ExxonMobil was, however, granted an emergency permit from the county in 2016 to use trucks to remove oil the company had stored in the Las Flores Canyon facility. But once the tanks were emptied, no additional trucking was allowed, according to Errin Briggs, a supervising planner at the county’s Planning and Development Department. In addition to trucking, ExxonMobil is also proposing a phased reboot of three offshore drilling platforms in the Santa Barbara Channel, which have been closed since the Plains All American Pipeline leak in 2015. Ms. Krop said before the shutdown, the platforms were the “largest single source of

THURSDAY, AUGUST 19, 2021

greenhouse emissions in the county.” She said restarting them would go against the region’s climate goals. As the county prepares to review this project, Ms. Krop is concerned that officials may be focusing too narrowly on the impacts of trucking without thinking of the impacts of restarting drilling off the Central Coast. “Our most fundamental concern is that the county is only looking at a small part of the project,” Ms. Krop said. “What the project really is, is that Exxon wants to resume drilling in the Santa Barbara Channel. “This project is about oil development. It’s not just about trucking,” she later added. “And because the county is only focusing on the trucking, the actual risk and impacts of this project are woefully understated.” Other environmental advocates are echoing Ms. Krop’s concerns, pointing to the state of the climate as a reason to deny this proposal. Following the recent release of a United Nations climate report earlier this month, local environmentalists say these

impacts pose a great risk to the region’s climate at a time when experts are alarmed about the rate of climate change around the world. “In light of the most recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, we are reminded that climate change is happening now, and it is worse than we thought,” Ken Hough, executive director of the Santa Barbara County Action Network, said in a statement. “We cannot afford to approve any new projects that will facilitate fossil fuel extraction in Santa Barbara County, including ExxonMobil’s proposal to restart its platforms and truck its oil. We need companies like ExxonMobil to stop polluting our atmosphere, air and waters, and to instead lead the renewable energy transition.” Officials from ExxonMobil, however, argue that the only way to resume production is through trucking. In a statement sent Wednesday to the News-Press, the company said that the company has worked to create an effective safety plan that follows more than 100 regulations set by the county and state. According to Julie King,

the operations media manager with Exxon, the company logged more than 350,000 miles in 2016 without incident. In an email, Ms. King said that resuming drilling and trucking operations at the Santa Ynez Unit will benefit the community in a variety of ways. “Resuming operations at the SYU would bring a number of benefits to Santa Barbara, including local jobs and millions in vital tax revenues for county schools, public safety and healthcare services,” Ms. King wrote in an email. “California currently uses all of the oil it produces and must import nearly 70 percent from foreign countries. “Restarting SYU will provide energy and products demanded by the California market, where it is heavily regulated by the county and state, rather than relying on oil imported from across the world where we have no control over its environmental protections and receive none of the substantial benefits – like jobs and funding for public services — that our local industry brings to this community.” email: mhirneisen@newspress. com

Fresh okra These elongated sticky pods deliver a sticky substance when consumed, making for a unique culinary experience. This member of the mallow family includes cotton, cocoa and hibiscus, as well as marshmallow, a plant that produces a similar sticky substance that was used to create the original marshmallow treat. I find okra pairs quite well with other seasonal companions such as tomatoes, basil, eggplant, peppers, and beans and delivers an asparagus-like flavor. Enjoyed raw or cooked, okra is excellent when pickled, roasted, sautéed, as well as in soups and stews. This week I prepared breaded fried okra as the Fix of the Week on B2. Okra is currently available at the Saturday Santa Barbara and Sunday Goleta farmers’ markets from both Her Family Farm and the Moua Family Farm. Price averages $6 per pound. KENNETH SONG/NEWS-PRESS

Masked travelers recently stroll inside the terminal at Santa Barbara Airport, which has been following COVID-19 procedures. The airport is celebrating the terminal’s 10th anniversary this month.

Airport terminal’s milestone Santa Barbara Airport celebrates building’s 10th anniversary

Also known as soybeans, it is pretty rare to find this legume crop harvested fresh and available right off the green plants. This Saturday, Jacob Grants’ Roots Farm had some beautiful specimens on hand, which can also be found at the Tuesday Santa Barbara and Wednesday Solvang market while in season. Delivering a nutty and subtly sweet flavor, there are two to four beans inside each green pod that can be thoroughly enjoyed both raw and cooked. Considered a complete protein, soybeans are a good source of calcium, vitamins C and E, potassium, manganese and magnesium. This week I enjoyed them sautéed in the pods with garlic chili sauce and soy sauce and served peel-andeat style. Price is $7 per pound..

The Santa Barbara Municipal Airport this month is celebrating the 10th anniversary for its airline terminal. The airport is sharing historical highlights and trivia questions via social media on its Facebook, Instagram and Twitter platforms. It also planned to present snacks and surprise giveaways to passengers on Wednesday. The 72,000-square foot building was completed in 2011 and features a Spanish Colonial Revival appearance. Today, the terminal serves four major airlines and handles more than two dozen departures a day, according to a news release. It has four glass boarding bridges and four outdoor ground boarding positions. The terminal serves planes varying from a 50-seat CRJ-200 to a 172-passenger 737-7 MAX. In 2019, the Santa Barbara Airport handled nearly 1 million passengers. According to a news release, the airport “is on track toward a swift recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic.” The terminal project started construction in 2008. Besides adding the terminal, the project included restoration of the original terminal, the Earle Ovington Terminal. It’s named after a pioneering Santa Barbara air mail aviator. Today, the Ovington terminal, which is next to the newer terminal, features space for meetings and offices. The airport started commercial air service in 1936 in the terminal that United Airlines built under a 50-year lease. The terminal resumed commercial service after World War II, and the federal government deeded the property to the city of Santa Barbara. Please see AIRPORT on B2

Organic fresh edamame

Gala apples The fresh apple season is humming along, with about a half-dozen varieties available at many of our weekly farmers’ markets. These freshly harvested gala apples are super sweet with a crisp exterior and softer center. Gala apples are excellent general eating apples. They’re perfect for adding to the kids’ lunch boxes as they head back to school. A good source of dietary fiber, they are also a good source of vitamins C and B6, as well as some calcium, magnesium and iron. Use these apples to make a homemade applesauce or slice them as a topping for a salad. Price averages $3.50 per pound.

here’s something about that slippery slimy texture that at first makes me not so sure about this unusual

vegetable. But as I work through to the end of an okra, I’m always ready for more. The texture and flavor of an okra’s outer pod is reminiscent of asparagus, zucchini and green pepper, all rolled into one. The noticeable distinction comes from the sticky sap in the center that creates the gelatinous texture. Over the years, okra has become one of my favorite seasonal vegetables, one that I tend to prepare at least once a week at home. My family too has acquired the taste for this slippery vegetable, most preferred when breaded and fried. I’ve pickled okra, as well as enjoyed it roasted, sautéed, grilled and added to soups and stews. Okra is a key ingredient in Southern cooking as well, most notably gumbo. Okra assists with developing the thickness of the hearty Cajun stew. This week I prepared my breaded and fried okra, the same ingredients used for my homemade chicken fingers (although I bake my chicken fingers rather than fry). All of the seasoning used gets tossed in with my breadcrumbs, a preferred mixture of Italian and Panko breadcrumbs with seasoned salt, granulated garlic and dried dried oregano. Sometimes I’ll add a little smoked paprika, onion powder, chili powder, and/or ground cumin to the mix. I will often add a pinch of seasoned salt right after it is cooked as needed to taste.

SANTA BARBARA — Sullivan Goss: An American Gallery will present its latest exhibit, “Paper Trail: The Life Story of Great Works of Art,” Aug. 27-Oct. 25. The gallery is at 11 E. Anapamu St., Santa Barbara. “Paper Trail” explores how art moves through the world and across time. The exhibit will feature historical and modern works that have been made in important ateliers, owned by important art world figures, exhibited in museums and/or published in magazines or catalogs, according to a news release. “At Sullivan Goss, we are always working to demystify the art world for visitors and patrons, so that anyone who is interested can get a great understanding of how and why works of art might be considered particularly important or valuable,” according to the gallery. “For this exhibit, this effort became the central theme of the show.” Artists in the exhibit include John Edmund Califano, Patricia Childlaw, Colin Campbell Cooper, Leon Dabo, Lockwood de Forest, Edgar Ewing, Oskar Fischinger, Joseph Goldyne, Sidney Gordin, Nathan Huff, Wosene Worke Kosrof, Dan Lutz, Susan McDonnell, Chris Peters, Hank Pitcher, Edward Potthast, Nicole Strasburg, Jean Swiggert and William Wendt.

heat and once the oil is hot enough to fry, add okra in a single layer at the bottom of the pan, leaving a little space between each piece. You will likely need to do 2 batches. Cook for about 2 minutes and flip. Cook for another 2 minutes and check to see if the okras are done. They should have a nice golden brown crust on the outer surface. The longer you cook, the crispier they will be, but make sure not to burn. Once done, transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel. Sprinkle with a little more seasoned salt. They will need a few minutes on the countertop to be cool enough to eat. You can refrigerate any leftover okra after your meal and reheat in the toaster oven if desired. Serve okra with your favorite dipping sauce such as sweet chili, barbecue or ranch dressing. Yield: Serves about 4 sides.

Over the decades, the original building was expanded with various additions and some outdoor tented facilities. The Ovington terminal was seen as antiquated and illequipped for modern needs after changes in airport security after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. So the new one was built. “We have learned a lot in the last ten years, and we are thrilled that the community has come to embrace SBA as the region’s

Horoscope.com Thursday, August 19, 2021

ARIES — You have a generous spirit, Aries. And today you’re feeling particularly altruistic. Finally, you have a chance to help your fellow man in a very real, direct way. Forget about big goals and lofty visions. Don’t try to set out to eradicate world hunger. You can go down to a local shelter and help cook a meal for a few dozen people. The personal contact will do you good. TAURUS — This may be an intense day, Taurus, especially if you follow your instincts and say what needs to be said to loved ones. There may be some unresolved issues at home. Do you and your siblings need to address them? If so, today is the day. You can expect some emotional reactions. This will be draining at first but ultimately therapeutic. GEMINI — This is just the kind of day you like, Gemini - intense and supercharged, just like you! It seems there’s a deadline coming up, or a time-sensitive project. You’ll have a lot to do and not a lot of time in which to do it. This is when you’re at your most productive. Just remember to drink plenty of water and eat. Even superheroes need fuel in order to accomplish their heroics. CANCER — You’re an organized, disciplined person, Cancer. No one who knows you would disagree. But there are times when you need to loosen up a bit, and this is just such a time. Forget about work, chores, and all your daily obligations. You’ve been working too hard lately. Live a little. Take a holiday. Don’t think of this as being irresponsible. Think of it as being human! LEO —Leo, today you may have to make some important decisions. You’re demanding of your friends and loved ones. Have you ever thought about why? It’s possible that you demand more of them than you do of yourself, and that doesn’t seem fair, does it? Today insight and inspiration will show you how you can rectify this. Lower your standards for others or raise your standards for yourself. Level the playing field. VIRGO — You may be thinking about everything you need to do to improve your work situation. You’ve made your demands clear, but no one seems to be paying attention. Maybe you’ve approached the wrong people. This could be just the excuse you’ve always needed to become your own boss. You have creativity and sound business ideas, Virgo. Monday, November 16, 2015 Why not see if you can combine the

two? LIBRA — You’re sensitive, Libra, and impressionable. You may not appreciate the intense atmosphere building, but it may be just what you need to get motivated. Yes, you’re about to face a lot of pressure, but you can handle it. No more planning, no more delays, no more staring off into space. Buckle down and get your work done. You can fantasize during your free time. SCORPIO — It’s one thing to stick to your guns, another altogether to do so without considering the views of others. People may resent this stubbornness, Scorpio. Today you’re encouraged to take a good look at yourself. Practice listening rather than speaking and you may be amazed at what you learn. Other people have opinions, too. Some of them are valid. Imagine that! SAGITTARIUS — Today you may be confronted with one of the harsher aspects of your personality, Sagittarius. It can be a bit of a shock when such a thing happens. It may be that your temper flares or you wrestle with feelings of jealousy. You’re normally on top of your emotions, and losing control in any way is upsetting. Don’t fret. You’re human like everyone else. Learn what you can from the experience and move on. CAPRICORN — Today you won’t feel quite like your usual upbeat self, Capricorn. There’s nothing to be concerned about. It’s just that you have a lot to do and can’t help but be focused on it. You certainly are conscientious! See if you can’t get out for some fun after you’ve finished your tasks. You’ve earned a break. AQUARIUS — You’re feeling altruistic today, Aquarius. You’re eager to do what you can for others. You can now put into action all those lofty visions of volunteering for a worthy cause. It’s time to do some real work. You’ll be astonished at how great it feels to make a direct contribution. Spending time chopping vegetables in a soup kitchen is much more satisfying than mailing a check. PISCES — Children are highlighted today, Pisces, either yours or someone else’s. You could be in one of the healing professions. If you’re a nurse or doctor, you may have the opportunity to make a big difference in the life of one of your patients. If you’re a parent, see if you can spend extra time with your children. You will all benefit from some quality time together.

Thought for Today

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.
