A Lompoc woman accused of knocking down a woman with her car in a parking lot outside a Lompoc discount dollar store and then driving over her before fleeing the area appeared in Superior Court Wednesday in Lompoc to set a date for her preliminary hearing.Thecase, however, was continued to Sept. 14, prosecutors said. Preliminary hearings are held for prosecutors to present enough evidence for a judge to decide whether to move the case forward to trial. The defendant, Mary Alice Brown, 67, was arrested on suspicion of felony hit and run in the Aug. 8 incident that left the 51-year-old victim in critical condition.Investigators said a witness reported seeing Ms. Brown’s car strike the victim, knocking her to the ground, then driving over her before leaving the scene. The victim was airlifted to the hospital with injuries to her chest and legs. Ms. Brown is charged with one count of leaving the scene of an accident that resulted in injury, a felony, “who did unlawfully, and knowingly, being driver of vehicle involved in an accident resulting in bodily injury to person other than himself, fail, refuse, or neglect to give to the injured person or to traffic police officer at the scene of the accident his name and address, the registration number of his vehicle, and the name of the owner of said vehicle; to exhibit his operator’s license; to render reasonable assistance to the injured person” and to perform other vehicle code duties.
A Lompoc man pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges of attempted murder and arson connected to an Aug. 2 fire that he allegedly started in a Lompoc mental health clinic room with people trapped inside. William Morales, 35, appeared in Superior Court in Lompoc for his arraignment Wednesday. “We are returning on Oct. 5 for a preliminary hearing setting,” prosecutor Madison Whitmore said.Lompoc police officers arrested Mr. Morales, 36, on suspicion of attempted murder, arson and other charges related to the Officersfire. were dispatched to the mental health clinic in the 1000 block of East Ocean Avenue at about 12:43 p.m. regarding a man who was allegedly attempting to assault staff, Lompoc police said. While officers were on route, dispatch advised them that the man was allegedly trying to set the building on fire. Officers responded with lights and sirens and located Mr. Morales in the 100 block of North Third Street. He was holding a large piece of wood, which police said he threw at officers when they exited their patrol cars. The stick did not hit an officer, but it did strike a patrol vehicle. Police said Mr. Morales refused their orders to get on the ground, instead throwing another piece of wood at them. He then retreated inside the building and slammed the door shut.Officers then heard people inside the building yelling that the clinic was on fire. They forced their way into the building and again ordered Mr. Morales to the ground. This time he complied and officers took him into custody. He became combative, however, and police took him to the emergency room for medical clearance. He remained combative in the ER, allegedly kicking an officer in the head. The building, meanwhile, was evacuated as the flames inside were growing. Officers knocked down the flames with their extinguishers. Responding Lompoc firefighters finished extinguishing the fire. Staff told officers that some victims had barricaded themselves to get away from Mr. Morales’ alleged violent behavior before he allegedly set the room on fire where the victims were located. The damage from the alleged arson was estimated to exceed $10,000. Once he was medically cleared, Mr. Morales was transported to the Santa Barbara County Jail, where he was booked on suspicion of attempted murder, assault

By BETHANY BLANKLEY THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR (The Center Square) — Before California Gov. Gavin Newsom attacked Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in a campaign ad, his in-laws donated money to Gov. DeSantis’ campaign through a trust they control, campaign finance records show. Both governors are running for their second term and are favored to win re-election. Both have been identified by political pundits as a potential presidential matchup, especially after Gov. Newsom launched his first campaign ad for re-election attacking Gov. DeSantis instead of his Republican opponent in California.California first lady Jennifer Siebel’s parents, Kenneth F. Siebel Jr. and Judith A. Siebel, run the Siebel Family Revocable Trust, which donated $5,000 to the Friends of Ron DeSantis PAC. The donation was made on April 6, 2022, according to campaign records published by Transparency USA. Neither the trust nor Gov. Newsom’s campaign immediately responded to requests for comment.Thedonation was made months before Gov. DeSantis’ Democratic challenger, U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist, a former Republican governor of Florida, won the Democratic primary Aug. 23.After Rep. Crist won, Gov. Newsom tweeted, “Time to make Ron DeSantis a one-term governor. I’m pledging $100k right now to Charlie Crist. Who will join me in helping Charlie become the next Governor of Florida?” After his win, Rep. Crist said at a news conference, “Those who support the governor (DeSantis) should stay with him and vote for him and I don’t want your vote. If you have that hate in your heart, keep it there. I want the vote of the people of Florida who care about our state: good Democrats, good independents, good Republicans. Unify with this ticket. Those who are haters: You’re gonna go off in your own world.” In Gov. Newsom’s ad attacking Gov. DeSantis, he told Floridians, “Freedom is under attack in your state.”Heclaimed Republicans were banning books, making it harder to vote, restricting speech in classrooms and criminalizing doctors. He also urged Floridians to “join the fight or join us in California.”Gov.DeSantis’ office responded by saying the ad was a “desperate attempt to win back the California refugees who fled the hellhole he (Gov. Newsom) created in his state to come to AccordingFlorida.”toRealClear Politics, Gov. Newsom is expected to win reelection by a 24-point margin; Gov. DeSantis, by an 8-point margin.Gov.DeSantis currently has more than $140 million in total donations compared to Rep. Crist’s $11.7 million, according to Transparency USA.

had jointly authored another proposal that would have allowed prosecutors to sue social media companies for addicting children, though that bill failed to pass earlier this month. A coalition of industry groups were in opposition of AB 2273 over language used in the bill. The coalition, which included the Entertainment Software Association, wrote a letter to lawmakers that the bill’s specification of “likely to be accessed by a child” is an overly broad standard that would “capture far more websites and platforms than necessary and subject them to this bill’s requirements.”Thebillreceived broad support from a range of organizations and individuals, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, Attorney General Rob Bonta and Tim Kendall, the former director of monetization at Facebook. “By taking some very basic steps – like restricting the collection of kids’ data, requiring high privacy settings by default, and providing young people clear resources to report abusive users or block unpleasant content – the State of California can protect the health and wellbeing of millions of young people in our state,” Mr. Kendall wrote in a support statement. Lawmakers also advanced a separate measure Tuesday, AB 587, would require social media platforms to increase transparency with their terms of service.Thebill’s Assemblymemberauthor,Jesse Gabriel, D-Encino, told lawmakers that the legislation would result in greater transparency about how social media companies moderate public discourse online. “As we all know, these companies are not transparent, and this would require them to come clean about how they are policing and enforcing public discourse around hate speech, disinformation and extremism,” Assemblymember Gabriel said ahead of a vote in the Assembly on Tuesday.Gabriel noted that the bill does not enforce a certain content moderation policy, but requires social media companies to be transparent about how they are moderating content.

By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER (The Center Square) — California lawmakers have sent two measures to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s desk that aim to enhance privacy protections for minors online and increase transparency around how social media companies moderate content like hate speech and extremism.Lawmakers in the Assembly voted to pass AB 2273 and AB 587, shortly after senators passed the measures. The bills are included in a stack of hundreds of bills advanced to Gov. Newsom’s desk in the final week of the legislative session.Assembly Bill 2273 would create the California Age Appropriate Design Code, requiring businesses that provide an online service “likely to be accessed” by minors “should consider the best interests of children when designing, developing and providing that online service, product or feature.”Online platforms likely to be used by children would be required to provide privacy information in language kids can understand and make the highest level of privacy the default for kids.Additionally, the bill prevents online platforms from selling or sharing a child’s precise geolocation without notification and using a child’s personal information in a way that is detrimental to their mental or physicalBusinesseshealth.that violate the provisions of the act could be held liable for $2,500 per child for each “negligent violation” and up to $7,500 per child for each “intentional violation.” The bill would take effect July 1, 2024. “Should this bill become law, California will lead the way in making the digital world safer for American children and take a major step towards creating a global standard for the protection of youth online,” Assemblymember Buffy Wicks, D-Oakland, said ahead of a vote in the Assembly on AssemblymemberTuesday.Wicks coauthored the bill SantawhoseCunningham,AssemblymemberalongsideJordanR-SanLuisObispo,districtincludesnorthernBarbaraCounty.Thetwo
The UCSB softball team continues to make big moves in the restructuring of its coaching staff.Recently hired Head Coach Jo Evans announced Tuesday that Amy Hayes will be the first assistant to join the team. “I’m so excited to welcome Coach Hayes to UC Santa Barbara Softball. I appreciate her making this commitment to our program,” Evans said. “Her 20-plus years as a head coach and her expertise in pitching will be a great addition to our staff. We are fortunate to have her on board and I look forward to growing this program with her. Amy will be a great fit.” Hayes comes to Santa Barbara following a 14-year run at Bradley University, which included the first two NCAA Tournament trips in program history and 295 wins, making her the school’s all-time winningest head coach. This past season, she surpassed the 500-win milestone, ending the year at 508 in her career. Her 140 victories in Missouri Valley Conference play rank ninth alltime.After initially joining Bradley as an assistant for the 1997 season, Hayes would return to The Hilltop over a decade later, beginning her tenure as head coach ahead of the 2009 season. From the moment she returned, her teams didn’t waste any time reaching new heights, immediately claiming the program’s first-ever MVC Tournament title and NCAA Tournament berth. The Braves’ record book has seen many other changes since then, including new alltime marks for longest road win streak, single-season home runs and conference wins, a number of repeat All-Region and AllConference selections, and a second NCAA Tournament appearance in 2014. Prior to Bradley, Hayes served as the head coach at Portland State (2006-08) and Boston University (2001-04), leading both schools to the Big Dance as well. In 2006, she similarly led Portland State to its first ever conference championship and NCAA Tournament appearance in her first year with the team. In four seasons with Boston, the Terriers made two NCAA Tournament trips, winning back-to-back America East Conference Championships and three regular season titles. The Peoria, Ill., native made yet another trip to the NCAA Tournament as an assistant coach at Oregon in 2005. She was also an assistant for three years at Virginia Tech (199800), where her teams boasted an impressive 127-69 record. She began her coaching career at Maroa-Forsyth High School, where she was the head coach during the 1993-94 school year. The year before that, she was a graduate assistant on the staff at Evansville, where she graduated with a degree in sociology and a specialization in anthropology in 1992. As a player at Evansville, she earned First Team Midwestern Collegiate Conference honors following her senior year. She also competed in New Zealand at the Women’s Major Level fromAside1987-97.from her on-field coaching accomplishments, Hayes has done much more for the game of collegiate softball. She is an active member of the National Fastpitch Coaches Association, where she served as the chair of the diversity committee and as a member of the Hall of Fame committee. She also served as the MVC representative on the NCAA Division I Head Coaches Committee and on both the regional and national ranking committees. In her first year at Bradley, Hayes and her staff founded POPS (Peoria Organizing Pride in Softball), with a mission to increase continuity and strengthen the softball presence in the greater Peoria area through education and developmental instruction.

She continued working full time after graduation, until 2007 when she took a break to raise her children. Approximately four years later she returned to working in the Kern County library system, where she worked at the main library and a number of branches, as well as supervising branches. “I got a lot of experience in a lot of different areas,” said Ms. Jackson.Ms.Jackson graduated from Cal State University in 1995 with her bachelor’s in English and in 2012 with her master’s degree in Library and Information Sciences, from San Jose State University.Shewashired in 2013 by Santa Maria Library as youth services librarian two and later promoted to librarian three, serving in that position until she was appointed interim library director. “I believe my varied experience has prepared me well.

By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE SENIOR REPORTER (The Center Square) — A national labor union representing more than 100,000 federal employees pulled a document off its website after a report showed the Biden administration was using taxpayer dollars to help public unions grow their members, and as a result, their budgets.TheCenter Square reported the story, which cited a news release on the National Federation of Federal Employees’ website where the labor group explicitly thanked the Biden administration for helping it recruit more federal workers.TheBiden administration helped the unions by having the Office of Personnel Management alter the federal employee database FedScope to make it easier for unions to target and recruit non-union workers in the federal“Thisgovernment.upgradedresource will be an excellent tool for our union to locate non-union employees across the federal government who are rightfully entitled to representation and a voice in their workplace,” NFFE National President Randy Erwin said in the news release, which has now been removed. “NFFE specifically requested assistance in identifying the hundreds of thousands of unrepresented government workers, and today OPM delivered on its commitment to promote employee organizing and collective bargaining by rolling out the enhanced database.“sWeare excited to help these federal employees who have not yet joined a union organize in their workplaces and obtain critical rights and benefits throughCriticsunionizing.”saidOPMusing taxpayer dollars to help the public unions grow their budgets is a conflict of interest.“It’sinteresting that neither the federal government nor the other major federal employee unions boasted about how the Office of Personnel Management was working with them to increase the unionization of federal employees,” said Maxford Nelsen, a labor policy expert at the Freedom Foundation. “The fact that NFFE pulled down its press release on the subject after it started getting attention suggests they spoke out of turn and exposed behind-the-scenes coordination that those involved thought best left out of the public eye.”The now-removed NFFE news release praised the Biden administration for opening up 300,000 new potential members. “Today, the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFEIAM) applauds the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for promoting union representation among 300,000 federal employees who are eligible to join a union but are not currently in a bargaining unit,” the release said. “OPM announced that FedScope, a public database of federal employees that does not list names or contact information, now has increased search capabilities and details on unrepresented workers.” Private companies often discourage unionization because it can send costs soaring. The federal government, though, has little incentive since those increased costs are simply passed on to the taxpayers. Critics also point out that unions traditionally support Democrats in a myriad of ways, including through campaign donations and ads, though there are restrictions on donations. President Joe Biden was vocally pro-union during the 2020 presidential campaign, and according to Open Secrets, labor organizations donated more than $27 million to Mr. Biden in that election

“We have volunteers in every state, and this matches what we are hearing from the grassroots,” Mr. Meckler added. Another recent poll found that most Americans don’t expect the Inflation Reduction Act to actually reduce inflation. As The Center Square previously reported, a Morning Consult/Politico poll released earlier this month found that only 24% of those surveyed think the bill will actually reduce inflation while 34% said it will make inflation worse.

Americans expect beefed up IRS to audit lower and middle class Americans
“Helpingcycle.unions identify organizing targets in the federal workforce not only enlists taxpayers in promoting private, politically active organizations opposed to their interests, but exposes the reality that much union organizing comes from the top down,” Mr. Nelsen said.

By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE SENIOR REPORTER (The Center Square) — More Americans believe the latest legislation to hire 87,000 Internal Revenue Service agents is part of a plan to audit middle and lower class Americans and small businesses than to target corporations and wealthy Americans, according to a new poll.Convention of States Action, along with the Trafalgar group, released the poll that found that “52.1% of voters say that the new 87,000 IRS employees, approved by President (Joe) Biden’s legislation, will be used to audit middle-class Americans, low-income earners and small businesses; or to target the political opponents of those in power.”Thepoll comes after Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act, legislation that allocated $80 billion in additional taxpayer funds to the IRS. Overall, 33% of those surveyed said the new IRS employees will be used “to audit middle class Americans and small businesses” while 31.6% said they will be used “to audit wealthy Americans and largeAnothercorporations.”15.9%said the auditors will be used “to target the political opponents of those in power.”“Wewanted to understand whether or not voters believe that the true purpose of hiring 87,000 new IRS agents is to focus on – the Biden administration has been claiming – ‘large corporate and high-net-worth taxpayers’ or whether something else is afoot,” said Mark Meckler, president of the Convention of States Action. “Democrats believe that this is the case, and that what they’ve been told by their leaders is accurate. Independents and Republicans strongly believe the country is being lied to, and that this new IRS is going to target either everyday Americans, or those who are political opponents of the federal bureaucracy.”

To prepare for a Flex Alert, the grid operator recommends pre-cooling the home to 72 degrees and using major appliances such as dishwashers before 4 p.m.
People cool off Wednesday at Arroyo Burro Beach in Santa Barbara (shown above and with its lifeguard station below left) and Goleta Beach (below right) during a heat wave that is expected to last through Labor Day. The high at the Santa Barbara Airport was 83. Elsewhere, Santa Ynez saw a high of 90 and New Cuyama, 99, but things were much cooler in Santa Maria and Lompoc, which both saw a high of 72. The National Weather Service’s forecast for today calls for highs of 88 in Santa Barbara, 97 in Santa Ynez, 78 in Santa Maria and 77 in Lompoc. It’s hotter elsewhere, with triple-digit highs predicted for Cuyama (108), Ojai (107), Woodland Hills (111), Pasadena (102) and Burbank (103).
“Reducing energy use during a Flex Alert can help stabilize the power grid during tight supply conditions and prevent further emergency measures, including rotating power outages,” the announcement said.The alert is the first of what could be several Flex Alerts issued throughout the holiday weekend. Cal ISO issued a warning Tuesday afternoon that it could issue a “series of emergency notifications” preparing the public for potential energy shortages if grid and weather conditions worsen.“Thepower grid operator expects to call on Californians for voluntary energy conservation via Flex Alerts over the long weekend,” Tuesday’s announcement said. A heat wave is expected to hit the state over the holiday weekend, with temperatures expected to be 10-18 degrees higher in Southern California, Cal ISO said. Cal ISO’s recommendation to unplug electric vehicles was met with criticism from energy groups like Power the Future, which drew the connection between the EV mandate and Wednesday’s Flex Alert.

Tricia Evenson’s upcoming show at the Santa Barbara Tennis Club is entitled “T-Squared,” and it encompasses an extensive volume of work all created in a square format.Within the exhibition, which begins Friday and ends Oct. 5, she will also be exhibiting work from her “Language of Water” series and “Scrap Patch” series. A reception with the artist will be held from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Sept. 9 at the club, 2375 Foothill Road, Santa Barbara. “The square form in my work reparesents the laws of nature that exist in the physical realm, providing a sense of structure, balance, logic and order. The square is associated with the number 4 and relates to the four elements of the physical world — Earth, Air, Water and Fire,” Ms. Evenson told the News-Press. “Individual squares configured together have been painted on paper, wood and various thicknesses of plexiglass. The plexiglass series allows the viewer to immerse themselves into a deeper experience of the artwork as if looking through windows into vivid and textural changing worlds.”

Primarily painting with acrylic, Ms. Evenson usually generates her art spontaneously and without conscious reasoning or a vision of what it will be once complete. Her paintings are extemporaneous expressions of the energy that is flowing through her in the moment, and in the process, she is continually finding resonance with the abstract and expressive use of texture, color and light. In her “Scrap Patch” series, Ms. Evenson repurposes what would be scrap paintings, various sheets of paper painted with leftover pigments from brushes that would otherwise be washed down the drain. Cutting the material into small squares and carefully rearranging, embellishing and gluing them to vividly painted canvases, she has created scrap patch artworks that draw the viewer into the details of a quilt-like compilation of mini“Scrappaintings.patch quilts often bring to mind the image of resourceful pioneer women cutting up worn clothing to create bed covers and britches for their family,” said Ms. Evenson. “During the Great Depression, when hardpressed quilt makers were forced to use every bit of fabric they had on hand, scrap quilts became more commonplace. Along with feed sacks, women also used bits of old clothing, worn-out bed linens and anything else they could get their hands on to piece together what would not only be useful, but appreciated as a work of art,” In her “Language of Water” series, the artist explores divergent waterscapes, all with the inclusion of a median horizon line woven into the natural design. The work also features unconstrained abstraction of the landscape, where water and land meets sky and the hours of the day become self-evident and resonant.
“Through the fluid and unbound process of creating these perspectives, I am unequivocally exploring and expressing

Unearthed from the soil in a similar fashion to that of potatoes, a pocket of fresh peanuts is found below that plant, connected to an extensive network of green shoots. The green shoots, called pegs, first emerge well after the plant has gone to flower. The peanuts themsself are then rinsed off, revealing the large tan shells, each containing 2-3 seeds within. A legume crop, peanuts thrive in loose soil, harvested and available from very select farmers during portions of the summer and fall Freshseasons.peanuts taste quite different than those we are accustomed to eating, which have been roasted. When you roast fresh peanuts, the flavor concentrates and becomes quite toasty. Fresh peanuts, however, deliver more of a softer crunch, with a very mild buttery peanut flavor.Excellent in both raw and cooked preparations, fresh peanuts can be enjoyed in a salad, stir-fry or seasoned and slow roasted at home. They are also excellent in homemade peanut hummus, used instead of garbanzo beans and as a nice addition to soups and stews. I really enjoy them in curry dishes as well. A very popular traditional use for fresh peanuts is to simply boil them whole in salted water and enjoy them with beer. Once cooked, boiled peanuts can be stored in the refrigerator until ready to eat. This week, instead of boiling the peanuts, I did a slow roasted version in the oven. Seasoned with a little salt, chili powder and garlic powder, this is simply a snack the entire family can enjoy. Roasted Chili-Garlic Peanuts 2 pounds fresh peanuts, cleaned and driedP 2 tablespoons peanut oil 1 tablespoon salt 1 tablespoon garlic powder or granulated garlic 2 tablespoons chili powder Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine clean and dried peanuts, peanut oil, salt, garlic powder and chili powder. Toss well to fully coat the peanuts.Placeon a baking sheet in a single layer and cook for about 35 minutes. Remove them from the oven, and let them start to cool on the countertop until ready to eat. They will become crunchier as they cool. Yield: Makes 2 pounds of inshell peanuts.
SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2022A8 NEWS Gratitude Grows Here. We never stop reaching higher for our ìForever grateful for the compassion we themes within myself, my connection to the element of water, the longing for freedom from control, finding calmness within our chaotic world, and above all, sharing my love and deep respect for our vulnerable planet, which connects us all,” said Ms. Evenson, who attended UCSB as an art studio major at the College of Creative Studies. She received her bachelor’s of fine arts in graphic design, with honors, from Art Center College of Design in 1985. For more than three decades, she served as creative director and designer for such notable clients as USC, UCLA, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Getty Center and the Tournament of Roses, to name just a few. In 2012, Ms. Evenson began moving further away from creative problem solving for businesses, institutions and organizations to developing personal works, continuing her art education, exploration and application as a fine artist after decades as a professional designer. Her paintings have been exhibited in solo, juried and group exhibitions in Southern California and the Pacific Northwest. After a nearly six-year interlude in the Portland area, Ms. Evenson moved back to her home state of California in summer 2020 and now lives in Santa Barbara with her husband Stan, furthering her passion for the creative arts, painting and the fine art of living.

Fresh peanuts
I’ve rarely ever encountered these freshly dug peanuts, still in their tan shell, in a specialty grocery store. I do, however, enjoy them every year during the summer when shopping at both Her Family Farm and Moua Family Farm.Delivering a nice buttery mild peanut flavor, they offer a tender crunch when enjoyed freshly dug. They can be easily boiled in heavily salted water to enjoy with a cold beer, or used raw in chicken salad recipes. Blend these peanuts to make a nice peanut spread or add them to any Asian-inspired stir-fry dish. This week I prepared Roasted Garlic-Chili peanuts as the Fix of the Week (on this page).These peanuts are available at the Saturday Santa Barbara and Sunday Camino Real Marketplace farmers’ markets seasonally.Anexcellent source of protein, dietary fiber and iron, this is a really fun seasonal item.Price is $6 per pound.

CANCER: It could be hard to find your footing early in the day, Cancer. You may be better off sleeping in. Have a good breakfast and relax in the morning. By evening, you’ll be refreshed, recharged and ready to take on the town. Your emotions may feel restricted, which could make it difficult to fully express yourself. You’d be better off turning this energy inward now.
TAURUS: Things should improve for you as the day progresses, Taurus. The key is to stay loose and not be concerned with the situation’s outcome. The future is uncertain. You shouldn’t depend on something that may or may not pan out the way you want. There could be some conflict between you and someone with a strong ego in the morning, but this should resolve itself by evening.
VIRGO: Get to some water today and reconnect with this element, Virgo. Like lapping waves against the shore, you may be gently changing the landscape around you with each word or action. Don’t underestimate your inner strength. It could be that you seem overpowered by the things going on around you, but don’t let them keep you from being the person you truly are.

You have what it takes to lead.
CAPRICORN: There may be a damper on your mood today, Capricorn, especially in the morning. It could seem as if everyone is having fun but you.

Operate from a point of stability instead of jealousy.
SCORPIO: You may get frustrated today, Scorpio, especially in the morning when other people’s egos seem to be strong. It could be difficult to relate to people who simply refuse to accept any opinion but their own. Things should mellow out by afternoon. You’ll find people start to see things from your perspective. Remain confident in your position despite the vacillation of others.

In today’s deal, West found a diamond lead against four spades: nine, ten, ace. South took the king of hearts, overtook his queen with dummy’s ace and threw a diamond on the jack. He next let the nine of trumps ride. LAST TRUMP West won and returned a trump. South won and led a club to dummy’s king, but East took the ace and led his last trump. Then South had two club losers, but dummy had only one trump left. So South lost a second club: down one. “The trump finesse lost,” the Society complains, “not to mention West might have held the ten of diamonds.”AfterSouth takes his discard on the third heart, he should lead the king of clubs, not a trump.

LEO: Use the morning to take care of yourself, Leo. You could be so concerned with the world and the shared environment that you forget to take care of you. Use the early afternoon to reflect and meditate. Gather facts from your inner state and use the information to create a plan for the future. Be flexible in your approach.
GEMINI: Your emotions could feel restricted today, Gemini, a feeling that may be difficult to shake. Take this opportunity to calm down and relax.

(The Center Square) – Tied to California law by a 2021 decision, Virginia sales of gas-powered vehicles could be done by 2035 unless Republicans get help fromTheDemocrats.California Air Resources Board voted to gradually tighten regulations on gas-powered vehicles until their sales are ultimately banned in 2035, with an exception for used vehicle sales. Even though no Virginia board and no Virginia lawmakers ever voted on a ban, a 2021 law that binds the commonwealth to some of California’s energy decisions will subject Virginia to a similar policy, unless the General Assembly acts to reverse the law. Virginia was governed by Ralph Northam a year ago, and its General Assembly under leadership from progressives.

Gov. Texas’acceleratesAbbottbusing (The Center Square) – Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is accelerating the state’s busing to New York City of foreign nationals who’ve entered the U.S. through the southern border. The majority coming in are believed to not have valid asylum claims, are bypassing federal immigration law, and instead of being deported are being released into the U.S. under new Biden administration policies, attorneys general who’ve sued the administration argue. Rather than have the 5,000 people being apprehended a day in areas of Texas overwhelm local border communities, Gov. Abbott said he’s sending them north to the so-called “Sanctuary Cities” of Washington, D.C. and New York City. So far, Texas has bused over 1,500 people to New York City since Aug. 5 in addition to 7,400 to Washington, D.C. since April. Doing so, he argues, “is providing much-needed relief to our overwhelmed border communities.”Thestate’sborder security effort, Operation Lone Star, was started in March 2021.
