Newsom defeats recall in landslide victory By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

NEWS-PRESS FILE PHOTO

“We said yes to science. We said yes to vaccines. We said yes to ending this pandemic,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said after surviving Tuesday’s recall election by a wide margin.

The recall effort aimed at ousting Gov. Gavin Newsom saw a swift defeat after preliminary results showed that 63.9% of the state’s ballots counted Tuesday favored keeping the governor in office. According to the latest tally from the Secretary of State’s Office, 9,176,526 ballots were cast in the election as of Wednesday, representing a 41% turnout statewide. Of the ballots counted thus far, more than 5.8 million voters voted “no” on the recall effort, and more than 3.2 million voted “yes.” The total number of ballots cast is likely to increase in the coming week as counties continue to report mail-in ballots postmarked on Tuesday and tally provisional

ballots cast in person. According to the secretary of state’s website, the results of the election will be certified on Oct. 22. In Santa Barbara County, the elections office reported that 105,213 ballots were counted as of Tuesday night. Of these, more than 97,800 ballots were cast by mail, and nearly 7,400 were cast in person. According to Joseph Holland, the county’s registrar of voters, more than 41,000 ballots have yet to be counted in the county, bringing the total number of ballots cast to more than 146,000. He said the elections office expects that number to increase as mail-in ballots postmarked on Tuesday will be delivered to the county’s Election Division this week. Mr. Holland said voter turnout in this election is currently

hovering around 61-62%. He noted that during the 2003 recall election that removed Gov. Gray Davis from office, voter turnout was at 66%, and the county had about 192,000 registered voters at this time. In this year’s recall, more than 238,000 ballots were sent out to registered voters. “It was a very very robust turnout,” Mr. Holland said of this year’s recall election. According to the county’s preliminary results, 65% of voters voted “no” on the ballot, and 35% voted yes. Of the residents who voted for a replacement candidate on the ballot, 44.5% voted for the leading Republican candidate Larry Elder, 10.3% voted for Democrat Kevin Paffrath and 7% voted for former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer. These candidates were among 46 candidates vying

for the governorship. On election night, Mr. Holland said about a dozen skeptical community members showed up after polls closed at 8 p.m. Tuesday, asking to observe how the ballots were being counted. Mr. Holland said he was happy to show the community members how the process works, and he invites anyone interested in learning about the procedures to come and observe how the remaining ballots are counted over the next few days. “We brought them all in. We gave them a tour, we explained everything going on, showed all the security features and showed the process,” Mr. Holland said. “And by the time they left, they were all just amazed at the complexity of the process and the Please see RECALL on A4

SB Unified begins COVID-19 testing

First all-civilian crew orbits Earth

Surveillance begins after delays

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

The cheers at Cape Canaveral kept growing louder as history was made Wednesday evening with SpaceX’s launch of the first all-civilian crew into Earth’s orbit. It meant nothing less than the start of a new era, a milestone achieved in minutes. After 60 or so years of space travel. At 5:04 p.m. Pacific time, the four members of the Inspiration4 crew were lifted in their Dragon capsule on top of a Falcon 9 rocket as spectators cheered loudly in Florida, where the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions made history. On Wednesday, it was SpaceX’s turn. “Everything continues to be good. It looks like a smooth ride for the crew,” an announcer said at the launch site. The crowd cheered. Soon the SpaceX craft was a dynamic blurb of light, streaking across the sky, the stuff of sci-fi made real. The four-member crew was in orbit, a hundred miles higher than the International Space Station for a better view. They gave each other fist bumps in their cabin. Everything seemed to go according to plan. The first stage did its re-entry and landed successfully on a drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean, testifying to the reusability of Falcon 9 rockets. The mission is SpaceX’s first private flight. NASA isn’t involved, and that’s the stuff of sci-fi made real. Sci-fi novelists such as Robert Heinlein predicted that one day, the private sector would handle space operations above Earth and beyond. The Inspiration4 crew will spend three days orbiting Earth in a mission designed to raise $200 million for St. Jude Children’s Medical Research Please see SPACEX on A5

Pfizer works toward vaccine approval for ages 5-11

Company expected to submit its vaccine to FDA this month By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Pfizer is expected to submit its coronavirus vaccine to the Food and Drug Administration for emergency use in children ages 5-11 by the end of this month, paving the way for potential approval by the end of October. During an interview with CBS News earlier this week, former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb, who also serves on Pfizer’s board of directors, said the company expects to finish its clinical trials in young children before the end of September. He said the results will be filed “very quickly” with the FDA, with hopes that the vaccine could be approved for children in October. “In a best-case scenario, given

66833 00050

the timeline they’ve just laid out, you could potentially have a vaccine available to children aged 5 to 11 by Halloween,” Dr. Gottlieb told CBS. “If everything goes well, the Pfizer data package is in order, and the FDA ultimately makes a positive determination. I have confidence in Pfizer in terms of the data that they’ve collected. But this is really up to the Food and Drug Administration to make an objective determination.” The push for FDA approval for this age group comes as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is reporting an increase in the number of children being hospitalized for COVID-19.

A Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine shot is administered to a medical worker in December at the Marian Regional Medical Center in Santa Maria. Pfizer is expected to submit a vaccine for ages 5-11 to the FDA by the end of this month.

The Santa Barbara Unified School District began COVID-19 surveillance testing this week after nationwide shortages delayed the arrival of test kits. The district discussed the testing during its board meeting Tuesday. Staff tested 129 elementary-age students and detected one COVID-19 case. Since the school year began Aug. 16, 38 students and 14 staff members have contracted the virus. A total of 13 student and 3 staff cases were recorded between Sept. 9 and Tuesday’s meeting. Dr. Frann Wageneck, assistant superintendent of student services, is not aware of a confirmed on-campus transmission but is monitoring a classroom that had multiple cases. “We reported that to Public Health, and so we’re watching that. But we still don’t know if it was circumstantial or if there were transmissions,” she told the board. Parents have to opt their students into the district’s COVID-19 testing through an online permission form. As of Tuesday evening, 64% had opted in. The testing is mandatory, though parental permission is legally required. The remaining 36% are families who may be unaware of the form, experiencing technical difficulties or are trying to resist testing. “Our principals are having conversations with families who have concerns about the testing, answering their questions. There’s a lot of information out there, as we know, a lot of misinformation,” Dr. Wageneck Please see TESTING on A5

Goleta drafts tree plan for fire station

GOLETA — Eucalyptus trees at 7952 Hollister Ave. will be removed as part of the new fire station that will be built on the land. The city of Goleta is holding an informational meeting at 11:30 a.m. Sept. 25 to explain how it intends to offset the loss of those trees. The hour-long meeting will be held at the Santa Barbara Shores Open Space near Santa Barbara Shores Drive and Seagull Drive.

The city proposes to plant 41 oak and sycamore trees at the Santa Barbara Shores, a location selected for its current lack of native creek trees. The California Coastal Commission requires the city to plant at least 36 native trees in the coastal zone to replace the eucalyptus trees. Goleta City Council approved the addition of Fire Station 10 in December 2018, and the Coastal Commision approved construction

The Santa Barbara Public Library is celebrating the culture of local Latin American immigrants. Programs in the “Integrating Immigrants” series highlight the music, art, poetry and food of the Latin American immigrant community. The series is taking place this month and during October.

race in favor of Gov. Newsom within an hour of the polls closing Tuesday night. According to the AP, with just two-thirds of ballots counted on Tuesday night, the number of “no” votes put the governor ahead by a 30-point margin. “It appears we are enjoying an overwhelmingly ‘no’ vote tonight

here in the state of California, but ‘no’ is not the only thing that was expressed tonight,” Gov. Newsom said during a press conference after the results were announced Tuesday. “We said yes to science. We said yes to vaccines. We said yes to ending this pandemic. We said yes to people’s right to vote without fear of fake fraud and voter suppression. We said yes to women’s fundamental constitutional right to decide for herself what she does with her body, her faith, her future. We said yes to diversity.” Critics of Gov. Newsom, who led the recall effort, cited his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, school and business closures, and his infamous appearance at the French Laundry dinner party during the winter lockdown as reasons for his removal. Recall proponents have also slammed the governor for his handling of the homeless crisis in the state, high taxes and the increasing price of gas. But with Tuesday’s preliminary results putting Gov. Newsom on top, his supporters say the results indicate the majority of voters are pleased with the direction the state is going. “This (election) was much bigger than just about Newsom — it was just about our state in general, and voters responded in support with the direction that California is going,” Darcel Elliott, the chairwoman of the county’s Democratic Party, told the News-Press Wednesday. She added that locally, many voters have told her that they are happy with how the governor has responded to COVID-19, that they believe in his climate policies and that they appreciate the renter protection he spearheaded during the pandemic. In response to the results of the election released Tuesday night, Mr. Elder, the leading Republican candidate, addressed his supporters at an election party in Orange County, encouraging them to be “gracious in defeat.”

“We may have lost the battle, but we’re going to win the war,” Mr. Elder said. Bobbi McGinnis, the chairwoman of the county’s Republican Party, told the NewsPress Wednesday that while Gov. Newsom prevailed in the election, the results show he has “lost ground” in certain regions of the state, pointing to counties in Northern California where the majority of voters voted “yes” on the ballot. While Ms. McGinnis and other members of the county’s Republican Party were hoping for a different outcome in the recall election, she said the recall effort brought about a “ground swelling” of volunteers across the state looking for “sensible governance.” “We will continue to work for a more sensible, common-sense government,” Ms. McGinnis said. “We are looking forward to 2022. We are looking for commonsense candidates and moving the needle more toward commonsense governance.” The recall election came with an estimated $276 million price tag for the state, which will be paid for through taxpayer dollars. While Ms. McGinnis said this cost was “absolutely worth it” because of Gov. Newsom’s alleged “mismanaged and wasted” taxpayer money, Ms. Elliott said she believes the money could have been used for other purposes. “(Republicans) cost us almost $300 million to do an exercise to see if they are still relevant, and overwhelmingly voters said no,” Ms. Elliott said. “That is money we could have used for relief for people struggling during the pandemic, and it instead was used to see if the Republican Party had any viability in California.” Gov. Newsom will be up for reelection in November 2022. His first term as governor officially ends in January 2023.

Continued from Page A1 According to the agency’s COVID Data Tracker Weekly Review published last Friday, hospitalizations were occurring at a rate of 0.9 per 100,000 among 5-to-11-year-olds at the end of August. The agency reported that this marks a three-fold increase over data from the end of June, which showed a hospitalization rate of 0.3 per 100,000 among the 5 to 11 age group. “These recent rates of COVID19-associated hospitalization are the highest seen for this age group during the pandemic,” the agency wrote in the report. The nation’s top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony

Fauci, was reported to have told staff from the National Institute of Health last Friday that if Pfizer submits data to the FDA by the end of September, the “product will likely be ready” in the first couple of weeks of October. Dr. Fauci also said the Moderna vaccine will likely take about three weeks longer than Pfizer to collect data on children ages 5-11. And he estimated that the FDA’s decision on the Moderna shot could come in November, according to Reuters. If the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines receive emergency FDA approval for children ages 5-11 on this timeline, two vaccines could be available for young children by the end of this year. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

Natali Flint had 4 kills, 2 aces and 35 assists Lily Mires had 8 kills and 1 block Teagan Haley had 3 kills and 2 blocks Portia Sherman had 11 kills, 14 digs and 5 aces. As of Tuesday, the Dos Pueblos Chargers were 18-3 overall and 2-0 in the league. “I’m super proud of our girls,” Coach Meagan O’Carroll told the News-Press in an email. “We created a game plan for this week to work on spreading our offense, and our girls did exactly that tonight. “I thought Natali set an excellent match and worked really hard to get all of her hitters involved,” O’Carroll said. “Makeila was an absolute monster on the right side and on the service line. She had a great match. Lily Mires was incredible in the middle for us, playing around with different shots and scoring us a bunch of points down the stretch. “We had a few lapses of energy in the third set, and I’d love to shout out to our family and friends who made the trek up to Santa Ynez with us and brought some noise and energy for us! We have great fans.” CARPINTERIA BEATS PROVIDENCE The Carpinteria girls tennis team hosted the Providence Patriots for the first time Tuesday in a close match. The Warriors beat the Patriots 10-8 in a non-league victory. “I was very happy with how we competed and played,” Coach Charles Bryants said in an email to the News-Press. “We ended up winning five singles and five

doubles matches and had many close sets. “In singles, Zahra Porinsh swept her three sets while Valerie Ojeda and Silke Leonard won one set each. Zahra played excellent today,” Bryants said Tuesday. “ She was patient, smart and constructed points well. She had a purpose with her shots which was great to see. “Valerie went 1-0 on the day and looked very strong today. She was consistent and moved her opponent around the court well,” the coach continued. “Silke had a tight loss but played a great match against the Patriots’ No. 2 player. “In doubles, their No. 1 team was just too tough and swept all three of their sets. We managed to play well against them but just could not make any headway,” Bryants said. “Natalie Martinez/Ariana Lounsbury and Cassandra Maya Prado/Neida Garcia each went 2-1 on the day. Both teams played well today and did a solid job of putting away shots when afforded to them. Abbie Delwiche/Sasha Porinsh went 1-2 on the day. “Our doubles just need to focus on our movement and aggressiveness a bit more. We will be working on it in practice these next few weeks with hopes it pays dividends down the road,” Bryants said

Ms. Arceneaux, 29, made history as the first person in space with a prosthesis. When she was 10, she was diagnosed with bone cancer, and as a result, a titanium rod replaced much of her left thigh bone. And Ms. Arceneaux is now the youngest American who has ever gone to space, beating the late Sally Ride’s record. Ms. Ride, the first American woman in space, was, back in 1983, the youngest American in space at age 32.

Inspiration4 is commanded by Jared Isaacman, founder and CEO of Shift4 Payments and a pilot. With him and Ms. Arceneaux are Mission Specialist Chris Sembroski, an Air Force veteran and aerospace data engineer; and Mission Pilot Dr. Sian Proctor, a geoscientist, entrepreneur and trained pilot. Mr. Isaacman is a billionaire who loves to fly fighter jets, and he offered one of the seats to St. Jude’s. After the mission, Inspiration4 will splash down somewhere off the coast of Florida, the stuff of sci-fi made real.

Some parents have told the district they are worried about chemical agents on the swabs, but Dr. Wageneck compared the swabs the students use to a Q-tip. “Those swabs have nothing on them,” she said, noting a chemical is added after the swab leaves students’ hands. Board member Laura Capps spoke about protecting children and expressed frustration with emails she receives with links to misinformation. “What kind of signal is that to our children, that we’re relying on bogus information, and they are the ones being harmed,” she said. Ms. Capps is the mother of a Santa Barbara Unified student. “I’m a bit discouraged hearing about all that continues to be lost, the fact that CIMI camp is potentially going to be canceled for so many kids, or math clubs and extracurriculars,” she said. Superintendent Dr. Hilda Maldonado acknowledged the disappointment as the district imposes more restrictions. “The delta virus really threw a wrench in everything we were thinking about in terms of opening school, of what things were going to work like. And we have found ourselves having to become more and more restrictive as we monitor the cases,” she said. Staff have been encouraging masking at football games and

Author Sonja Wasden and Santa Barbara Interim Police Chief Bernard Melekian pose for a photo after Mrs. Wasden thanked officers.

Author and mental health advocate Sonja Wasden visited the Santa Barbara Police Department Tuesday. She is currently on a tour around the country, thanking police officers. Mrs. Wasden, author of “An Impossible Life: The Inspiring Journey of a Woman’s Struggle from Within,” supports mental health support for law enforcement and community members. “We are here at the police department to thank law enforcement officers for all that they do, because they have been a support for my family, and to let them know their mental health matters also. Officers put their

lives on the line, their mental health on the line, and I just want officers and all first responders to know we appreciate all that they do for us,” she said in a news release. During her visits at law enforcement agencies and libraries, she shares her struggles with depression, mania and suicidal ideation. Officer Craig Burleigh, a member of the Joint CoResponse Team, welcomed Mrs. Wasden on the steps of the police department. He assists community members suffering from mental health issues. “It was an honor to meet Sonja and for her to share her personal story with us,” he said. Interim Police Chief Bernard Melekian attended the

presentation. “We thank you for sharing your story with us and greatly appreciate you coming to the Santa Barbara Police Department to personally thank our officers and professional staff for all that they do,” he said. “Statistically for every one line of duty death, there are tragically five to seven officers that take their own lives every year. The issues surrounding wellness and mental health have been a priority of the Santa Barbara Police Department and a personal priority of mine.” SBPD supports its responders with the At-Ease Program, which provides peer support and counseling. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

‘The Art of Seaweed’

Artist Karen Clark’s items on sale at Santa Barbara Maritime Museum By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

aren Clark grew up in Massachusetts and spent summers on Cape Cod and in Maine, where she fell in love with the ocean and simultaneously developed a passion for art. “I see art in everything. It’s the way I’ve always been. I feel grateful to experience the world in such a beautiful and visual way,” she told the News-Press. Mrs. Clark gathers materials at the tideline for her current work of photographing the natural beauty of seaweed. “While some might overlook seaweed as an art material or simply pass by it without a second glance, I’m drawn to it for its colors, textures and form. My photographic art involves layering and playing with the organic materials, typically on the very same day I find it, as the vibrancy of the colors fade if kept too long,” she said. The artist will be offering her original photography printed on ready-to-hang metal canvas, as well as on cards and tea towels, at “Tideline Visions: The Art of

Seaweed,” a pop-up show and sale, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 25 on the patio at the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum, 113 Harbor Way. Featured will be 22 pieces of art as well as smaller items. “I believe everyone should have access to original works of art so I remain dedicated to keeping my pieces affordable,” said Mrs. Clark, who graduated with a bachelor’s degree in fine art from the University of Colorado in Boulder and came west and started a photography business. She and her husband, Alan Clark, who is also an artist, are avid sea glass hunters and members of the founding committee of the Santa Barbara Sea Glass and Ocean Arts Festival. “As artistic director for the festival, I am always working on finding artists that are the best in the country. Since I run social media, I am constantly discovering talents around the globe. My job is to keep the aesthetics interesting from the T-shirt designs to the whole visual flow.” While Mrs. Clark spent much of her career as a professional photographer, she and her husband Please see SEAWEED on B2

are also owners of Whimsy Antiques, a playful vintage shop in Carpinteria. “After we bought our first home in Santa Barbara, we furnished it with vintage items we found at estate sales. Eventually, with a garage full of treasures, we took a space at a local antique mall and soon after opened Whimsy in Carpinteria,” she said. “I have always identified with art and home decor. As far back as I can remember, I was rearranging rooms, homes and playing with decor. When I was a child, I would redesign my own room, and when my parents left the house, I’d redesign their furnishings,” said Mrs. Clark. Whimsy is a lighthearted approach toward antiques and vintage. “I have to absolutely love something in order to bring it into our shop. It has to speak loud and clear and evoke happiness within me. I love color. I love original paint. I love the way vintage items were made to last forever. I am a stylist, and my store is my canvas,” Mrs. Clark said. “Creativity is my mantra. What sets us apart from others is the flow of the shop. It has sections and styles, and I love creating and changing it up often. We want the whole experience to be positive in our shop. We play vintage music that people seem to love and have been known to

Trends and styles constantly change. “I want an eye for design and artistic expression to always translate to a fun vibe that people can feel good about. If I achieve that, I am on the right track.” email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

WHY STAY HOME ALONE?

Over the past decade, pomegranates really came to the forefront as a renowned superfood, much thanks to their high antioxidant levels. They’re an excellent source of vitamins K and C, as well as dietary fiber when the seeds are consumed. A unique fruit, pomegranates are known for their tangysweet flavor, and while typically consumed raw, they can also be incorporated into cooked preparations. Sprinkle them into your morning yogurt, add them to a salad or use them as a garnish for soups, stews or cooked grain dishes. Pomegranates pair quite nicely with certain proteins as well, my favorites being chicken, pork and lighter flavored fish such as halibut, seabass and even rockfish. This week I prepared a kale pomegranate salad, the Fix of the Week, below, with a homemade lemon honey-herb dressing. Pomegranates can currently be found at all weekly Santa Barbara Certified Farmers’ Markets from

Crunchy seedless grapes

Toro de Oro chili peppers Last week I featured Thai chili peppers, which deliver a significant level of heat, somewhere between that of a jalapeño and habanero. These Toro de Oro Peppers, which translates to “Golden Bull Pepper,” are on the opposite end of the spectrum with sweet being the dominant attribute. These golden orange peppers have an elongated shape working down to a point at the base. Possessing thin crisp cell walls, these peppers are excellent to enjoy raw with your favorite hummus dip or on a salad. They are also nice when blistered and peeled to be enjoyed as roasted red peppers, either as they come, with grilled meats or blended into a sweet pepper sauce. Use these peppers as a pizza topping or sauté and enjoy with scrambled eggs. Grown, harvested and sold by Beylik Family Farm of Fillmore, they can be found at

Or rather, “jumbo crunchy seedless grapes” are more like it. The name says it all. This variety is a favorite with the kids due to grapes’ extra-large size and snappy texture. They probably hold up better than any other variety in the refrigerator and school lunch boxes. Now is a better time than ever, with the schools under way, to send your kids off with the healthiest lunches possible that they will still highly enjoy. They also make the perfect after-school snack for kids to grab on the go. Grown by Burkdoll Farms, these grapes can be found at all weekly Santa Barbara Certified farmers’ markets while in season. Price averages $3.50 per pound. Sam Edelman is general manager of the Santa Barbara Certified Farmers Market Association and host of “Farm to Table,” which airs live 9 a.m. Thursdays on KZSB AM 1290.

nside of their tough exterior shell sits a network of tiny seeds located in multiple chambers of a spongy membrane. Each seed is encased in a gem-like flesh known as the aril. With more than 500 cultivators of pomegranates grown around the world, you can expect to encounter at least a dozen different types at the farmers’ markets throughout the fall. While the red varieties tend to be the most common, you may be able to experience pomegranates that range from white to pink, yellow and dark purple. Delivering a nice balance of tart and sweet notes throughout, pomegranates have gained increasing popularity over the past decade,. They’re considered a “super food” by many. Both the seeds and the surrounding flesh are edible, with the skin discarded. It does take a little bit of extra effort, but I have found one of the best methods is cutting them in half and tapping the uncut side with a spoon to release the seeds into a bowl. The seeds can then be enjoyed as they come, added to a salad or steamed rice, or pressed into juice for sauces or cocktails. This week I prepared a simple kale salad that incorporated fresh sliced apple, almonds, shredded carrot, red onion, sweet peppers and of course, pomegranate seeds. I prefer using a sweet crisp apple, such as a fuji, for this type of recipe that helps balance the tanginess of the pomegranate. I also like avocado for an added layer of richness. I made a quick honey lemon herb dressing, but you can also toss with any favorite salad dressing you prefer.

Sam Edelman is general manager of the Santa Barbara Certified Farmers Market Association and host of “Farm to Table,” which airs live 9 a.m. Thursdays on KZSB AM 1290.

Fix of the Week KALE POMEGRANATE SALAD 1 bunch Kale, stems discarded, leaves rinsed, dried and chopped 3 tablespoons Lemon Honey Herb Dressing ½ cup shredded carrot ¼ cup red onion, sliced thin ½ cup pomegranate seeds 1 apple, sliced ½ cup almond slices or slivered almonds ½ cup sweet pepper, sliced thin (I used fresh pimento peppers) Optional: 1 small avocado, diced For the Lemon Honey Herb Dressing Juice from 2 lemons Zest from ½ lemon 1 tablespoon honey ½ teaspoon chopped thyme or oregano ¼ cup good quality olive oil 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard Pinch of salt and freshly cracked pepper Whisk all ingredients together before serving. Place your kale in a mixing bowl and drizzle with a few tablespoons of salad dressing. Massage the dressing into the kale leaves, which will help make them more tender. Then add carrot, red onion, and pomegranate seeds and toss again. Plate into separate bowls, or plate and top with apple, almonds, sweet pepper and avocado. Drizzle top with a little additional dressing to taste. Yield: Serves 4.

ARIES — You may have been worried about money lately, Aries. Today a family member could make an expenditure that you view as unnecessary and irresponsible. Before you become angry know that all may not be as it seems! If you look at the situation objectively, you may see that you aren’t in dire financial straits and the expenditure didn’t take that much out of the family coffers. TAURUS — Today you might find it necessary to turn down an invitation to a social event, Taurus, and the host might for some reason seem offended. Your friend is probably overworked and stressed and apt to overreact to just about any situation. Relax a little. Explain things to your friend and then propose that you get together at another time. That’s all you can do now. GEMINI — Have you been doing a lot of walking lately? If so, Gemini, your feet may be sore. This could affect your energy level considerably, not to mention your ability to get any work done. Concentrate on routine tasks that require little thought and can be done sitting down. Stay out of any squabbles! Relax in a hot bath tonight. CANCER — An event could find a current or potential love partner paying a lot of attention to others, Cancer. You might feel neglected and unloved, as though your friend is doing this to hurt you. This probably isn’t the case. Your partner is just trying to be sociable and doesn’t realize that it upsets you. Do some mingling. Your friend might have the same reaction as you and come running! LEO — Do you sometimes go about things backward, Leo? Are you caught up in the rat race of trying to have more money and security with the idea that eventually you’ll earn the freedom to do what makes you happy? The happiness factor actually works in reverse. You must first be who you are and then take the necessary actions in order to have what you really want. VIRGO — An angry call from someone who lives far away might catch you off guard today, Virgo. In your mind, the person has no reason to be angry and is blowing things out of proportion. They probably won’t listen to reason. Say as calmly as you can that you’ll get in touch tomorrow and then hang up. Give this person time to calm down before even

trying to straighten things out. LIBRA — Today you might spend a lot of time looking for a lost object, Libra. This item may only have sentimental value. Still, it’s important to you that you find it. This isn’t a good day to search. You’re in a rather frenzied state and could look right at it without seeing it. Wait until tomorrow to look. What you seek is probably nearby and just hidden in some way. SCORPIO — A minor quarrel or separation could take place with a love partner, Scorpio, probably over something that seems trivial. It’s likely to get your dander up to the point where you may never want to see this person again. Go for a workout or brisk walk to clear your head, get the endorphins going, and view the situation more objectively. Then phone your friend and work it out. SAGITTARIUS — Too much stress from overwork could have your nerves on edge today, Sagittarius. When someone makes an offhand remark, you might see insult where none is intended. Don’t get so jumpy that you imagine traitors behind every door. Work alone if you can, and take a walk to clear your head. This will put you in a better frame of mind and a more relaxed space. CAPRICORN — Squabbles may break out among members of your group, Capricorn. You might wonder what the big deal is since what they’re arguing over seems rather silly. Apparently it’s important to them! If you feel up to it, get your friends out of their emotional chaos and view the subject more objectively. It might not calm them down, but at least you’ll have done something! AQUARIUS — Someone may skip out on responsibilities today, Aquarius, causing extra tasks to fall to everyone else, including you. This might stir up some anger and resentment and it’s definitely going to cause more stress. Delegate tasks if you can. Put yours in order of urgency and then take them one at a time slowly and carefully. If the less important ones have to wait until tomorrow, so be it! PISCES — If you’ve been planning to set off on a trip soon, Pisces, make a list of what you need to do beforehand and check off each task as you complete it. Otherwise you might panic at the last minute because you’ve forgotten something important. Stay calm even if it seems impossible. You’re less likely to forget anything if you stay focused.

Thought for Today

7 = ' *

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.

Westmont receives its two largest cash gifts

COURTESY PHOTOS

A $7.25 million gift from Celeste and Dr. Robert White, top right, financed the purchase of an Anapamu Street building for Westmont College’s programs in downtown Santa Barbara.

By SCOTT CRAIG WESTMONT COLLEGE WRITER

Westmont College has announced two major gifts totaling more than $15 million, the two largest cash gifts in its history. In late August, the Montecito college received $8.2 million from Ed and Mollie Miller, the largest single gift ever. It supports the Paul Raymond Miller Scholarship Endowment, named in honor of Mr. Miller’s father and originally established 35 years ago when their daughter, Barbara, enrolled at Westmont. In the intervening 35 years, this scholarship has supported hundreds of students who

depend on financial aid to attend Westmont. In addition, Mr. Miller served on Westmont’s Board of Trustees for 17 years. “I loved working with Ed when he was a board member, and Mollie is a delightful human being,” said Westmont President Gayle D. Beebe. “Ed is a straight shooter. You never have to guess where he’s coming from or how he’s thinking through a situation. Both are highly principled people of faith, and their priorities in life shine through in this gift.” Earlier in August, Westmont received a $7.25 million gift from Celeste and Dr. Robert White, the second largest single donation to the college. This gift has funded the
