Solvang’s Copenhagen Drive reopens By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF-WRITER

Copenhagen Drive in Solvang has reopened to automobiles after shuttering for about two years to allow parklets during the COVID-19 pandemic. A city official confirmed the road had reopened Monday for driving and parking, in line with a Solvang City Council imposed deadline. Workers spent the last few weeks completing prep work, which included restriping the lots and removing the parklets. Reopening the road has led to about 60 parking spaces becoming available again. As in other places around Santa Barbara County, the parklets were a point of contention, with some residents expressing support for the parklets and the European atmosphere they created while others wanted the road to return

By DAVE MASON Air Force Two landed on a windy Monday afternoon at Vandenberg Space Force, bringing Vice President Kamala Harris and her message of outer space’s importance to national security and humanity’s imagination. It marked the first time a U.S. vice president has visited Vandenberg since Vice President Mike Pence stopped at the base in 2019. Vice President Harris came at a time when Vandenberg is one of six bases across the country being considered for the headquarters of Space Training and Readiness Command, which supporters say could boost the Central Coast economy greatly and produce many new jobs. Ms. Harris didn’t address STARCOM in her speech but discussed norms and rules of responsible use of space and said that unlike Russia and China, the U.S. will not fire missiles at satellites. She said America is the first nation in the world to make that commitment. On a day of tight security and Secret Service presence at Vandenberg, Vice President Harris exited Air Force Two with Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff. On the ground, she hugged U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, who was there with U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla, DCalif. Afterward, a motorcade took the vice president to closed briefings, and late in the afternoon, Ms. Harris emerged on stage in a building full of members

Most Californians believe the federal and state income taxes they have to pay each year are too high, a new poll showed. The timely survey from the Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies found about 64% of voters said their federal and state taxes were too high. This is a 10-point increase from a response to the same question posed to voters in a survey six years ago, according to the report. “The findings indicate that many Californians are feeling pinched in today’s economy,” Cristina Mora, the IGS codirector, said in a statement. “While the pandemic brought gains for a few, a much larger percentage of Californians have borne an economic burden during this same time period.” The poll found twice as many voters described themselves as being financially worse off than they were a year ago (42%) compared to those who said they were better off (21%). A survey six years ago found the opposite was true. The survey found 30% of those polled believed their financial prospects for the coming year will be worse, 49% of voters expected no change and 21% believed their financial prospects will be better. Republican and conservative voters were most likely to believe federal and state income taxes are too high, according to the poll report. Monday was the deadline to file and pay for most individual

The April 15 deadline was extended this year due to the Good Friday and Passover holidays. The poll was conducted online in both English and Spanish from March 29-April 5. It surveyed 8,676 registered voters in California with a sampling error of about +/- 2 percentage points. The questions were: • Would you say that you and your family are financially better off or worse off than you were a year ago? • Looking ahead, do you think that a year from now you and your family will be better off financially, worse off, or remain about the same as now? • Do you feel the amount of federal and state income taxes that you and your family have to pay is too high, too low, or about right?

Councilmember Robert Clarke said then: “I have no problem opening the street and seeing how it goes, but I feel that it looks more appealing closed.” The city official said a program is in the works for businesses that have the space and would like to continue providing an outdoor dining space.

More work completed on Lower Mission Creek Flood Control project By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF-WRITER

Two sections of the Lower Mission Creek Flood Control project were completed last month, Santa Barbara announced Monday. A bypass culvert was constructed underneath the freeway in order to increase flood flow capacity. Santa Barbara County Supervisor Das Williams said he has “been excitedly waiting for the Lower Mission Project to near completion,” with that anticipation stemming from his

time on the Santa Barbara City Council. “The Lower Mission Creek Flood Control Project is vital to the public safety and environmental protection of Santa Barbara,” Supervisor Williams said. “It’s a great achievement every time we finish construction on another reach, and I’m looking forward to championing the completion of future phases.” The project is a joint effort between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Santa Barbara County Flood Control and Water Conservation District and the

city to address flood control concerns and environmental issues through the widening of the creek to increase flow capacity and reduce flooding and property damage. It has been under study and development since the 1960s. “The opening of the bypass culvert is a culmination of much effort and engagement within the community,” said Adam Hendel, the city principal engineer. “The City of Santa Barbara Public Works Department would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to the County Flood Control District for

staying focused on this project and the Santa Barbara residents for their understanding of construction-related impacts.” The $5.5 million project between Chapala and De La Vina streets at Reaches 2B-2 under Highway 101 and Reach 3 between Highway 101 and Gutierrez Street was funded by the County Flood Control and Water Conservation District. Granite Construction was the contractor for the project. Other Lower Mission Creek Flood Control Projects include the

Ryan Devitt, a senior at Santa Ynez High School, has received multiple awards for his Lidar science project at the 67th annual Santa Barbara County Science Fair. He was awarded Best Senior Project for Senior Physical Sciences and Best in Division for Senior Physical Sciences. He will be receiving $400, as well as two plaques, a medal, and a gold medal certificate. Ryan, a resident of Goleta, comes by his interest in science naturally - his father, John Devitt, is a scientist who works as the director of engineering for Raytheon. He also has a brother who is a programmer and coder who recently graduated from UCSB and currently works in chemical research. The inspiration for Ryan’s project came from his father’s colleague Paul McManamon, the former President of SPIE, an international society for optics and photonics which was founded in 1955 to advance light based technologies. “Paul gave me the idea but I really wanted to work on getting better at coding and (coding language) Python skills,” Ryan told the News-Press. Ryan made an online Lidar calculator, which uses light detection and ranging through lasers and cameras to create visual maps to tell you how far away something is. It is similar to a heat signature, but the difference is that it is measured by distance, he explained to the News-Press. Lidar photons are used to measure the power of a laser. “Depending on how many photons return to the laser, that lets you know how far away an object is,” Ryan said. The bulk of the work involved in Ryan’s project was coding.

GOP wants $10B for mental health services, education fund to help homeless By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF-WRITER

California Legislative Republicans have asked for $10 billion to be set aside to provide mental health services to individuals experiencing homelessness in the state. The Republicans suggested putting the money from the general fund into a Mental Health Infrastructure Fund to develop new county mental health and addiction treatment centers and behavioral health-focused education facilities to expand the treatment workforce. Republicans outlined their plan in a letter to Sen. Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, and Assemblymember Phil Ting, D-San Francisco, who chair budget committees in their respective chambers. “We’ve ignored the mental health and substance abuse treatment needs of far too many Californians for far too long, mostly because we have failed to invest in

the facilities and workforce necessary to provide the needed help,” Sen. Patricia Bates, R-Laguna Niguel, said. “We have an unprecedented budget surplus at the same time we have an unprecedented need for mental health and substance abuse care. The budget surplus will go away, but the mental health and substance abuse treatment needs will not.” “We can be both smart and compassionate with this surplus,” Sen. Bates continued. The Republicans’ letter cited a 2019 California Future Health Workforce Commission study which predicted the state will fall short of the necessary numbers of behavioral health professionals by 2030. It also pointed to a recent RAND Corporation report which said California has a deficit of more than 4,700 subacute and acute psychiatric treatment beds. The first component of their plan — the temporary program to create new county mental health addiction and treatment facilities — would determine

project needs by counties where the bed capacity per population is the lowest. Prioritization would be given to counties where acute bed deficits are most severe, according to the letter. Funding would be made available over the course of four years to cut down on the bed deficit, and any leftover funds would be diverted to the Department of State Hospitals for an expansion of bed capacity. The $10 billion would also be used to establish a new California State University in Stockton specializing in behavioral health care-focused degrees, according to the letter. The funding would be used for planning, design and construction of the school. Additionally, the funds would be utilized to establish mental health and substance abuse treatment clinics on every University of California and California State University campus so students can experience serving those individuals.

“Not a single community can ignore the growing plight of our mentally ill and addicted homeless population and its effects on the homeless themselves, the quality of life in our state, and California’s economic vitality,” the letter said. “Major gaps in the mental health system have persisted for decades, but it doesn’t have to remain this way. We can begin helping by caring for persons who are unable to care for themselves due to untreated illness and addiction.” Sen. Brian Jones, R-Santee, called the Mental Health Infrastructure Fund a “first step” in solving homelessness in California. Last month, legislative Republicans held a press conference from the steps of the Capitol to announce a comprehensive package to tackle homelessness. The package focused on accountability, compassion and treatment, the lawmakers said. The bill package included a requirement for the governor to report

annually the actions the state and local governments took to reduce homelessness and mandate local governments report expenditures on programs to reduce homelessness, clean up areas, provide mental health and substance abuse services and more. Other bills included legal protections for places of worship that provide shelters or services to those experiencing homelessness, an allowance for local governments to use Clean California and other highway beautification program funds for camp cleanup efforts and a requirement for the state auditor to review the impact of funds used to combat homelessness. And Gov. Gavin Newsom recently proposed a CARE Court (Community Assistance, Recovery and Empowerment) plan. The idea is to get a person with an untreated mental health illness or substance use issue into a court-ordered “Care Plan” that can last one to two years. email: kschallhorn@newspress.com

California lawmakers consider legislation that would send one-time child tax credit payments By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – California lawmakers could soon push a one-time California Tax Credit to low-income families, a measure supporters say would help families and children living in poverty. Assembly Bill 2589, introduced by Assemblymember Miguel Santiago, would utilize the state’s budget surplus to provide a onetime $2,000 California Child Tax Credit per child ages 17 and younger to families that earn $30,000 or less per year. Under this bill, a family with children ages 0-5 could receive $3,000 per child – $1,000 of which would come from the state’s existing Young Child Tax Credit. Assemblymember Santiago told lawmakers in the Assembly Committee on Revenue and Taxation Monday that the bill would be a “game changer” for the families of 1.7 million children who he says have “fallen into poverty” after Congress did not

pass an extension of the expanded child tax credit. Under the Biden administration’s American Rescue Plan, the child tax credit was expanded from $2,000 per qualified dependent to $3,600. “We’ve now had 1.7 million children fall back into poverty for those families who are $30,000 and below, and the inability of the federal government to step up has had devastating impacts on those families earning $30,000 and below,” Assemblymember Santiago told lawmakers on Monday. “What’s at consequence is kids who are going to sleep hungry at night at $30,000 and below,” he later added. In addition to an expanded child tax credit, Assemblymember Santiago’s bill would also increase the minimum California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC) payment to at least $255 for those making $30,000 and under. In a bill analysis, Assemblymember Santiago estimated this would provide around 3 million California tax filers who do

not have dependents with an “economic boost.” The bill was heard in the Assembly Revenue and Taxation Committee on Monday, though a vote will be taken later. Supporters of the bill told lawmakers Monday that more than 100,000 California families with children and half of workers without children currently receive a CalEITC of less than $100. Anna Hasselblad, a public policy director at the United Ways of California, spoke on behalf of the CalEITC Coalition on Monday, telling lawmakers that increasing tax credits “are one of the most effective ways of defeating poverty.” “AB 2589’s per-child tax credit payment is the most targeted and effective way to meet several goals, reduce poverty, help families dealing with inflation, boost local economies and improve lifelong results for children,” Ms. Hasselblad said. “Taken together with the CalEITC minimum, this is a rare opportunity to make a big down

Some Americans have smaller refunds or owe IRS due to 2021 child tax credit payments By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – Americans around the country are finishing up their tax filings, but some will be surprised to see lower than expected returns because of the monthly child tax credit program from last year. President Joe Biden passed the program through Congress in 2021, which increased the child tax credit and distributed part of it on a monthly basis for the second half of the year. The payments came as a surprise to many Americans, those expecting the full tax credit when filing this year may experience another one. “Remember the child tax credit?” Yurpizy Morgan, a Republican candidate running for Maryland’s second Congressional district. “It was an advance, not a gift!” Some Americans could even owe the IRS and have to partially pay back the monthly payments. The IRS addressed this concern on its website, where it answers the question, “Will I need to repay advance Child Tax Credit payments back to the IRS if they were greater than the Child Tax Credit amount that I am allowed on my 2021 tax return?” To answer this question, the IRS said, “Maybe. If you qualify for the repayment protection … you will be excused from repaying some or all of the excess amount. If you do not qualify for repayment protection, you will need to report the entire excess amount on your 2021 tax return as additional income tax. This additional income tax will reduce the amount of your tax refund or increase your total tax due for 2021.”

The complexity of these payments and Americans tax returns this year has been another burden for the IRS, which has taken fire for heavy backlogs. The National Taxpayer Advocate said in its annual report to Congress that this federal program has helped create millions of backlogged tax returns at the IRS. “To add complexity, when taxpayers file their 2021 tax returns, millions who received Advance Child Tax Credit (AdvCTC) payments will have to reconcile the monthly advanced payments they received with the amounts for which they are eligible,” the report said. “Similarly, eligible taxpayers who did not receive some or all of the third round of stimulus payments, as authorized by the American Rescue Plan Act, will have to claim them as credits on their returns. Thus, the unprecedented processing and refund delays taxpayers experienced in 2021 could be as bad, and potentially worse, in 2022 if taxpayers do not file electronically or do not properly reconcile their monthly AdvCTC payments or the third stimulus payment with their 2021 return.” Chris Edwards, an expert at the Cato Institute, echoed this sentiment, saying the increasing complexity of the tax code is making things harder for taxpayers and the IRS. “The creation of monthly payments for child tax credits was a bad idea,” Mr. Edwards said. “It increased tax complexity and generated administrative hassles for the IRS. IRS administration is a train wreck because Congress keeps making the tax code more complicated. The expanded child tax credit is one factor causing the IRS mess.”

Federal judge ends Biden’s mask mandate on planes By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – A federal judge on Monday struck down the Biden administration’s controversial mask mandate for planes, airports and trains. U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle called the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) mandate “unlawful” for overstepping its authority and not following normal rulemaking procedures. “But the mandate exceeded the CDC’s statutory authority, improperly invoked the good cause exception to notice and comment rulemaking, and failed to adequately explain its decisions,” she wrote in the ruling. Critics of the mandate praised the judge’s ruling. They had argued it was not necessary

Critics of the mandate praised the judge’s ruling. They had argued it was not necessary and conflicted with the Biden administration’s decision to lift Title 42. and conflicted with the Biden administration’s decision to lift Title 42, a Trump-era immigration rule that allowed border agents to immediately expel illegal immigrants to slow the spread of COVID into the U.S. “The federal district judge correctly held that that CDC transportation mask mandate was unlawful and violated the Administrative Procedure Act,” Texas Public Policy Foundation

Executive Director and General Counsel Rob Henneke said. “The Court’s order vacates the CDC Mask Mandate, which will be effective for all persons nationwide as soon as final judgment is entered by the Clerk of the Court. While the Court’s order stops the mask mandate for now, TPPF’s lawsuit representing Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne continues to litigate the underlying constitutional issues.”

payment on future prosperity while meeting the pressing needs of children right now.” There are currently no associations that have stated

opposition to the proposal thus far, according to a bill analysis. At the end of March, the authors of the bill made a budget request to appropriate $430

million annually and $3.8 billion to fund the provisions of the bill, an analysis from the committee states. An official fiscal estimate is still pending.

HARRIS

Continued from Page A1 so you are able to protect our interests in space, which in turn protects our interests here on Earth,” she said, with troops on stage behind her and seated in front of her. Ms. Harris also discussed Ukraine and pointed to Russia completely violating international rules and norms established after World War II. She said she was heartened to see the world come together to condemn Russia’s actions. Leaders of Ukraine and other nations have called the Russian actions, including its attacks on civilians, “war crimes.” Vice President Harris also condemned Russia’s and China’s firing of missiles at their nations’ satellites as part of their efforts to develop anti-satellite weapon technology. She noted that Russia’s destruction of its satellite in November has left 1,600 pieces of debris in orbit, and there’s still debris remaining from China’s destruction of its satellite in 2007. “These tests, to be sure, are reckless, and they are irresponsible,” Ms. Harris said. She added that satellites are crucial to national security and infrastructure.

Earlier, Rep. Carbajal addressed the room of troops and officials, who included everyone from Santa Barbara County Supervisor Joan Hartmann to state Sen. Monique Limón, DSanta Barbara. Speaking to Vice President Harris, he said, “Welcome to the most beautiful place in the world, Central Coast. “By coming here, you are reaffirming the future and the importance of our nation’s future in space,” Rep. Carbajal said. Unlike Vice President Harris, Rep. Carbajal did mention the possibility of Vandenberg becoming the STARCOM headquarters. Immediately after the speeches, he talked to the News-Press about STARCOM and what Vandenberg could offer it. “I think our advantages are huge,” Rep. Carbajal told the News-Press. “We are a prime candidate strategically and geographically when you consider our proximity to aerospace technologies in the region and our world-class universities and a base with extraordinary amenities. “And how can you beat the quality of life on the Central Coast?” he said. “And for the local economy, it would mean billions of dollars that would be invested in creating jobs, jobs, jobs.”

STATE CITIES

“As we enter this new age of increased space exploration, the United States must continue to lead the way in establishing norms to protect our national security and space assets,” Sen. Padilla told the troops and civilians.

Rep. Carbajal said the selection process for STARCOM is just beginning and that he didn’t know when a decision would be made. Others speaking Monday varied from Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks to military leaders who emphasized Vandenberg’s history in outer space. “As we enter this new age of increased space exploration, the United States must continue to lead the way in establishing norms to protect our national security and space assets,”

Sen. Padilla told the troops and civilians. “Thanks to critical installations like Vandenberg Space Force Base, the United States has consistently been a pioneer in satellite imagery and innovation in space. I am committed to continuing my work in the Senate to bolster space diplomacy and ensure that space assets can be used responsibly by all spacefaring nations.” email: dmason@newspress.com

REVIEW

Movie magic at its best

‘Fantastic Beasts’ will please ‘Harry Potter’ fans By DAVE MASON

‘F

NEWS PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Dumbledore spends time with his brother Aberforth (Richard Coyle).

Grindelwald (Mads Mikkelsen), threatens the world.

antastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore” succeeds largely because of Jude Law and Eddie Redmayne and their dedication to playing Dumbledore and Newt with simple sincerity and humility. Mr. Law is playing Dumbledore in his younger, less certain days, but at this point, the professor is wise enough to know the only way to defeat the villainous Grindelwald is to confuse him.

So if his plan is to work, it can’t work precisely, and it’s the unexpected heroic twists that will ultimately save wizards and Muggles alike. This is actually the most easy of the “Fantastic Beasts”’ stories to follow. “Harry Potter” creator J.K. Rowling’s story establishes the characters and gives you updates on their lives today before getting into the action. And of course, there’s the magic of the special animals, who provide both comedy and drama on a cinematic journey that’s worth taking. This movie is ideal for

“Harry Potter” fans, and its only flaw is people new to the “Fantastic Beasts” franchise may be a little lost. If it’s new to you, talk to a friend or significant other who knows this universe and explain it to you beforehand. It’s OK to look at a map before you voyage into the magical unknown. Everything in this film from its acting to special effects to drama and comedy clicks. Getting that balance right isn’t always easy, but Ms. Rowling and company make it all look like magic.

There’s a right way to argue

o you and your partner walk by one another without so much as a word spoken? When engaged in an argument, some couples give each other the silent treatment, others belittle their partners, threaten their relationship, and try to win any argument at the expense of hurting someone they love. This kind of toxic behavior can damage a relationship beyond the point of no return. If you don’t fight fairly, nobody wins and everyone gets hurt. Couples have to learn to argue for the right reasons and in the correct way. If you choose not to, you are in danger of damaging your relationship and the person you love. You both must learn how to fight fairly. Arguing without harshness works because it minimizes defensiveness and the perceived need to be overbearing in a discussion. And that really is

the point: If you let a discussion degrade into an argument, you both lose. If you remember that the first one who gets mad is the loser of the moment, it will help you keep yourself in check and also allow you to get to the real issues, not just fight because you are both trying to hurt each other’s feelings. If you fall into that trap, catch yourselves as soon as possible and start over. There is no need for unkindness when two people love each other. Learning to argue correctly is also beneficial to a relationship because it can help settle issues permanently. Once our partners know that they have been heard, the process is so powerful and direct, they can drop their resentments almost immediately. If you do not feel that your mate has heard what you needed to say,

you will be unable to let go of your damaged emotions. This is the key to resolving most of your difficult moments. This kind of communication dynamic can help you learn more about each other. It tears away the veil of being afraid to state your needs and true feelings. Knowing that you can air something that is bugging you or even share your deepest sorrow will allow you both to realize that your partner doesn’t want to hurt you (or be hurt by you). It will help you get to know each other at a deeper and more caring level. The benefits are a relationship saver. Couples who want to keep their relationship positive and participate in its continued growth do not argue disrespectfully. In fact, they avoid it like the plague. They keep in mind that hurtful

words can break a heart (and a relationship). When you know that your partner isn’t out to get you, there won’t be the need to protect yourself or avoid a perceived confrontation. Trusting that your discourse will be nontoxic really allows you to share your thoughts at a core level. The truth is that once you have learned how to voice your feelings in a way that is not harmful to your love, you will quickly see that this is a vastly more comfortable way to be with another person.

Museum program to feature ‘Newlywed Game’ host Bob Eubanks By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Museum of Ventura County will host when Ventura journalist and author Ivor Davis, interviews Santa Ynez game show host Bob Eubanks, who received a Lifetime Achievement Emmy Award. The program is 6:30 to 8 p.m. April 28 at the Ventura museum. Mr. Eubanks is best known as host of “The Newlywed Game.” But in 1964, Mr. Eubanks was an increasingly popular DJ in Southern California when the opportunity of a lifetime popped

up. He was offered the chance to promote a Hollywood Bowl concert for a Liverpool band on its first tour of America. To clinch the deal, Mr. Eubanks borrowed a large loan on his house to promote The Beatles, and the gamble paid off. In this live event, Bob Eubanks will reveal all: how he became a legend in his own right, his charmed life and career, and how meeting The Beatles helped make it all possible. Proof of vaccination will be required on arrival for in-person attendees over 12 years age. Masks

will not be required for this event. If you want a mask, the museum can provide one food you. Museum members who register for this event (either in person or via Zoom) will be entered into a drawing to receive an autographed copy of Mr. Eubanks’ “It’s in the Book, Bob!” The event is free for museum members. The in person event is $10 for nonmembers, and the Zoom event is $5 for nonmembers. Members can register for the in-person event at the link below: interland3.donorperfect.

Concert to benefit Red Cross’ efforts in Ukraine By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A benefit concert for the American Red Cross’ efforts in Ukraine will take place at 7 p.m. May 14 at the Matilija Auditorium, 703 El Paseo Road, Ojai. American Songbook Today, a nonprofit, will present a concert version of the Broadway musical “Rags.” (“A concert version” means there will be no sets or costumes.) “Rags” is the story of brave Russian jews escaping from the

Cossacks and the challenges of starting their new lives as immigrants in New York City’s lower east side in the early 1900s. The story of “Rags” is tragically similar to that of the millions of refugees of the Ukraine war escaping from their devastated homeland. The score is beautiful, funny at times and certainly uplifting according to a news release. The original script is by Joseph Stein (“Fiddler on the Roof”), music by Charles Strouse (“Bye

Bye Birdie,” “Annie”), lyrics by Stephen Schwartz (“Godspell,” “Wicked”). The revised script is by David Thompson, author of the new version of “Chicago.” This version was performed recently at the famous Goodspeed Opera House and in London to rave reviews. “Rags” will be performed by many of Ventura County’s actors and musicians who are donating their talent and time to raise as much money as possible for Ukraine. Music direction is by

Jimmy Calire, vocal direction by Connie Woodson, and direction by Michael Estwanik. Tax-deductible tickets for all seats (reserved) are $50 at .americansongbooktoday. ticketleap.com. Tax-deductible donations can be made at donorbox.org/rags-inconcert-american-red-cross-reliefefforts-in-ukraine.

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.

LIBRA — This is going to be one of those days when you get annoyed if someone takes too long to make up his or her mind about something, Libra. You aren’t going to have the patience to abide anyone who continues to go over every single detail of an issue. You’re more likely to want to simply make a decision, for better or worse. SCORPIO — Use the power of words as an artistic medium to express yourself, Scorpio. You have a magic way with words that often goes unrecognized. Your sensual nature is poetic. You shouldn’t deprive others of this talent, so show it off to the world. Perhaps you’re moved to write a love poem to a partner who means a great deal to you. SAGITTARIUS — Whatever you’re working on at this time can be expanded tremendously with the help of a partner, especially a creative project or written work, Sagittarius. Watch as one seed of an idea blossoms into a whole field of creativity. There is more than meets the eye as you find yourself soaring higher and higher. CAPRICORN — Take advantage of the lighthearted, flighty feeling of the day instead of getting annoyed by it, Capricorn. You can’t hide in your bedroom forever. Well, you could, but you’d end up wasting away and no one would even notice. This is a good day to get out and have fun with friends. Make wishes for people instead of cursing them. AQUARIUS — The more you talk to people, the more successful you’ll be, Aquarius. Everyone is a valuable resource, so tap in to this boundless well. Your agility with words and facts is impressive, so use it to your advantage. Friends are a source of great joy, and this is a wonderful time to be with them. For the most part, it doesn’t matter what you’re doing. PISCES — Be careful of people who talk a great deal and promise the world but have a difficult time delivering the goods, Pisces. You might get trapped today if you rely on people who simply don’t come through the way they said they would. Feel free to engage in social activities with partners, but don’t sign any major business deals with them at this time.

HOROSCOPE ARIES — Your positive strength is especially noticeable today. You may find that you’re radiating gloriously to the people around you, Aries. This is due to your polite, gentle, and peaceful nature. You’re the jewel that isn’t always noticed or appreciated as much as it should be. More than likely, you leave it up to others to make the first move. TAURUS — Taurus, instead of digging deep into the barrel looking only for the misshapen, bruised, and rotten apples, concentrate on bringing up the shiny, bright red ones. This way you’ll bring laughter and smiles to the company around you rather than miserable frowns. Whatever you bring to the surface will be distributed far and wide. GEMINI — Today there are many areas in which you can shine, Gemini. You need only be yourself to win over the hearts of others. There is a graciousness to your manner that draws people close to you, whether or not you’ve ever noticed it before. Realize this, and know that it isn’t a fluke. You need not take much action. It will come to you. CANCER — If you’re feeling needy today, you might consider seeking counsel from others, Cancer. Close partners might make light of the situation, so if you’re looking for deep metaphysical advice, you might want to look elsewhere. Most of all, pamper yourself with some relaxing downtime. LEO — Get out in the fresh air today in whatever way suits your fancy, Leo. It’s important to exercise your body with some brisk physical activity, or at least refresh your spirit with a ride in a convertible. This is a terrific time for you. You feel alive and joyous about your life. Join with others to recognize all that you have, and give thanks for your meal tonight. VIRGO — Making decisions today is apt to be nearly impossible for you, Virgo. That’s why you should leave them up to someone else. Walk with your partner so you don’t have to really think about where you’re going. Your job is to focus on the emotional side of things and make it safe for everyone to dream.

Abbott, Mexican governor reach agreement to secure border

Classiﬁed

By BETHANY BLANKLEY THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) – Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and the governor of the Mexican state of Nuevo León signed a memorandum of understanding Wednesday expressing their shared commitment to increase security along their shared border. Gov. Abbott and Gov. Samuel Alejandro García Sepúlveda signed the agreement at a news conference in Laredo, Texas. They reached the agreement after Gov. Abbott expanded border security measures through Operation Lone Star, directing Texas Department of Public Safety officers to perform enhanced security checks of commercial trucks at ports of entry. This led to protests and major jams, halting international commerce at at least three major ports of entry on Monday and Tuesday. Despite the criticism he’s received, Gov. Abbott said his plan is working. Within days of implementing it, Gov. Garcia Sepúlveda called him to say he wanted to help Texas secure the border. “Texas has been overrun by a record number of illegal immigrants crossing from Mexico into Texas with the assistance of cartels,” Gov. Abbott said. “Gov. Garcia and I reached an agreement today that addresses all of these issues.” Gov. García Sepúlveda began implementing security measures on the Rio Grande River and at ports of entry in Nuevo León on Tuesday, he said. Nuevo León, located in the northeast region of Mexico, shares a 14-kilometer border with Texas. The Laredo-Columbia Solidarity International Bridge, which saw backlogs as a result of Gov. Abbott’s new policy, connects Laredo, Texas, to Colombia in Anáhuac, Nuevo León. Gov. Abbott said the clogged bridges at the Texas-Mexico border will end when he reaches agreements with other Mexican governors or when President Joe Biden secures the border. He said he understands some Texans’ frustration over the backlogs at the ports of entry, but he also understands the frustration expressed by Texans overrun by illegal immigration. He said to Texans, “If you want

relief from the clogged border, you need to call President Biden and tell him to maintain the Title 42 expulsion policy that has been in place for years. You need to tell President Biden to aggressively enforce the Remain in Mexico policy. “You need to call your member of Congress and insist that they hold the Biden administration accountable. And you need to demand that President Biden enforce the immigration laws that have already been passed by the United States Congress.” Gov. Abbott also announced that crossing the Laredo-Columbia Bridge “will return to normal effective immediately” and remain that way “as long as Nuevo León executes this historic agreement. “Since Nuevo León has increased security on its side of the border,” Gov. Abbott said, Texas DPS was returning to its previous policy of randomly stopping vehicles crossing the bridge into Texas instead of performing enhanced checks. In the one week that they’ve performed them, he noted, roughly 25% of inspected trucks were found to be unsafe for Texas roads and removed from service. Gov. Abbott said he and the Texas Secretary of State’s Office have been contacted by all Mexican governors of states connected to Texas by a bridge, including Chihuahua, Coahuila, and Tamaulipas. He said he was also contacted by the chief officer of the North American unit of the Mexican Secretary of Foreign Affairs. He said he looks forward to working with them to achieve a similar agreement he’s reached with Gov. Garcia Sepúlveda, but until then, Texas DPS will continue to conduct enhanced security checks. There are “very real and deadly consequences … of Biden’s refusal to secure the border,” he reiterated. Through OLS, Texas law enforcement officers have apprehended known convicted murderers, previously convicted child rapists, kidnappers, drug traffickers, MS-13 gang members and cartel members who’ve entered Texas illegally from Mexico, and seized enough fentanyl “to kill every man, woman, and child in the U.S.,” Gov. Abbott said.

(The Center Square) – Nineteen attorneys general, led by Indiana, have filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of a lawsuit filed by Texas and Missouri against the Biden administration. They’re asking the Supreme Court to uphold a lower court’s order instructing the Biden administration to follow the law to fully reinstate the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), otherwise known as the “Remain in Mexico” policy. “No one is above the law in America, and we are simply insisting that the Biden administration follow the law,” Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita said. “The rule of law is the framework that enables American liberty to survive and thrive,” he added. “The situation at our southern border provides the perfect example of how going soft on the rule of law gives rise to anarchy, chaos, and ultimately the erosion of our freedom and safety.” In January 2021, President Joe Biden announced via executive order that he was terminating MPP. Months later, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas began dismantling it and other immigration policies. Southern border encounters then surged to historic levels. In President Biden’s first year in office, Customs and Border Protection and Border Patrol agents encountered or apprehended roughly 2 million people entering the southern border illegally. This number excludes the several hundred thousand who are estimated to have evaded law enforcement. At the same time, Mr. Mayorkas implemented a wide range of policy changes to effectively halt most deportations. CBP and Border Patrol agents were directed to release illegal immigrants into the U.S. en masse instead of sending them back to Mexico to go through the

immigration process. Texas and Missouri sued, District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk of the Northern District of Texas granted their request for a permanent injunction and ordered the administration to reinstate the MPP. He ruled the administration violated the Administrative Procedure Act when it halted the MPP. The administration appealed to the Fifth Circuit and U.S. Supreme Court and lost. Both courts denied its request to stay Judge Kacsmaryk’s ruling. After its Supreme Court loss, the administration said it was appealing Judge Kacsmaryk’s ruling, vowing to “vigorously challenge it.” In a statement, it said, “As the appeal process continues, however, DHS will comply with the order in good faith.” But compliance hasn’t happened, as evidenced by the flood of illegal immigrants the administration is releasing into the U.S. and by the tactics it’s used in court to circumvent the law, the AGs argue. “From the beginning of this Administration, the United States has been forthright about its intention to terminate MPP simply because it did not like the program, and its conduct demonstrates its readiness to do anything – including ignore the APA’s requirements – to accomplish that objective,” they argue in the brief. Throughout the appeals process, “the Fifth Circuit correctly concluded that the United States’ efforts to avoid judicial review violated basic principles of procedure,” they argue. Implemented under President Donald Trump in January 2019, the MPP led to a reduction in the number of people entering the U.S. illegally. Current law requires those not authorized to enter the U.S. to be detained, to stay in Mexico, or be “paroled” into the U.S. based on narrowly defined case-bycase circumstances including “urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit.”
