State ditches tier system

Residents allege election fraud Group calls for Holland’s resignation By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

New guidelines take effect today

Joseph Holland, the county’s clerk recorder, assessor and registrar of voters, told the NewsPress that all California election laws were followed in the 2020 election and that it was the most secure election in county history. This picture is a file photo of Mr. Holland from 2007.

A group of citizens gathered outside the Santa Barbara County Courthouse Monday to deliver 129 signed affidavits alleging instances of fraud in the 2020 election to Joseph Holland, the county’s clerk recorder, assessor and registrar of voters. They also called for Mr. Holland’s resignation. The affidavits, delivered by residents and members of the New California State coalition, marks the latest local push to allege election fraud during the 2020 election, though these claims have largely been declared false by election officials. Within the text of the affidavit, community members cited two primary complaints against Mr. Holland. The first complaint alleges that ballots printed in 53 California Please see FRAUD on A6

Arnold Buckner, a co-op at Antique Alley on State Street, said masks will be optional for fully vaccinated patrons with the shift in the state’s mask guidance.

By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

After more than a year full of restrictions, masking and stay-home orders, the fateful day has arrived. Today, the state is fully reopening its economy by ditching the tier system and rolling out a revised set of guidelines for masking and social distancing. As of today, the state has lifted all capacity and social distancing restrictions and updated its mask guidance, declaring that fully vaccinated individuals can go maskless in most settings. Conversely, those who are not fully vaccinated are still expected to wear a mask in all indoor and public settings. With the updated guidelines now in effect, business owners on State Street are welcoming the new guidance with some long-awaited operational changes. M. Special Brewing Co., located in the 600 block of State Street, will now be operating at 100% capacity in both its indoor and outdoor spaces. The bar, which opened its State Street location in September 2020, has never had the chance to operate at full capacity or utilize barstool seating. But that changes today. “We’re really excited because we’ve never seen what (the bar) is Please see TIERS on A4

Josh Ellis, the brewmaster and co-founder of M. Special Brewing Co., said the bar will operate at 100% capacity starting today.

Barrett Reed, born and raised in Santa Barbara, believes now is the “most important moment” for his hometown in his lifetime. That’s why he’s running for Santa Barbara City Council. He told the News-Press Monday he feels he has the experience necessary for this crucial time. Mr. Reed, who announced his candidacy this week, is a cofounder of the Miramar Group (not to be confused with Rosewood Miramar Beach), a local real estate developer. He is a board member of Downtown Santa Barbara and recently served on the Santa Barbara Planning Commission. Mr. Reed, a candidate for the 4th District seat currently occupied by Kristen Sneddon, is not seeking an endorsement from a political party in the nonpartisan race. He said party politics distract from the city

government’s functions. Mr. Reed said the city council needs a small business leader and complains about the current council’s lack of consistency. “For me, I think the cost is too great not to run. I feel there has to be, and voters are demanding that there has to be, a change in leadership,” he said. “I don’t see leadership on our city council. I see reactive decision making.” Mr. Reed has ideas for housing, small business development and homelessness — an issue he wishes the city handled proactively. “At the core of the issue, our city has to believe it’s a solvable problem — not just one that can be poorly managed,” he said. He pointed to the current council’s plan to set up an emergency encampment. He said it creates the problem of having a temporary shelter so close to downtown. Instead, he looks to Please see REED on A2

Officials warn of extreme fire danger By ANNELISE HANSHAW and MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS

The potential for critical, widespread fire is most severe today and tonight, warns the Montecito Fire Protection District on Twitter. The district’s Twitter account is quiet most days but has been posting more frequently as the fire risk increases. The National Weather Service in Los Angeles raised a red flag warning for south Santa Barbara County beginning Monday evening that lasts through 6 a.m. Wednesday. The red flag warning could extend through Wednesday night, NWS meteorologist David Sweet told the News-Press. In red flag warnings, the weather service advises residents to pack emergency supply kits and review evacuation plans. It also cautions against any activities that could cause a spark. Even chains dragging from a truck can spark a fire. “Use extreme caution with potential fire ignition sources and best to avoid them altogether. You want to think about any potential activity that could be a fire ignition source and avoid that,” Mr. Sweet said. NWS forecasts maximum temperatures of 90-100 degrees and a relative humidity of 6-15%. Vegetation is unseasonably dry, due to a lack of rainfall this water year, and could fuel fire.

Santa Barbara County reports no new COVID-19 cases State deepens vaccination incentive program NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department detected no new COVID-19 cases Monday — an occurrence unseen since May 2020. Additionally, no new deaths were recorded. The news is welcome, especially as the state reopens today, but the battle isn’t over. Public Health also reported 11 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in Santa Barbara County, a 36% increase from the two-week average. And four patients are in critical care. There are 31 active COVID-19 cases in Santa Barbara County.

A fake website posing as “La Tapatia #3” in Goleta is scamming customers, warns Santa Barbara County District Attorney Joyce E. Dudley. The webpage “lataptia3ca.club” is not affiliated with the local bakery but instead is linked to a website named OrderHero. The site allows online ordering and takes customer payment information, but the restaurant does not receive the orders or money. The website is currently unavailable, so the scam could be offline. The District Attorney advises to use caution when purchasing products online. She recommends verifying websites before ordering. Anyone with information regarding fake websites such as OrderHero and online scams can contact Investigator Greg Hons with the District Attorney’s Office at (805) 568-2390. Victims of fraud are encouraged to contact the law-enforcement agency with jurisdiction where the crime occurred. — Annelise Hanshaw

‘Fighting to save our single-family neighborhoods from overcrowding and density is a hill I would die on’ REED

Continued from Page A1 Bakersfield’s model. The city announced it had functionally zero chronic homeless people in January. To achieve this, organizations made a list of the chronically homeless individuals in the city and consulted them about their needs. And the housing authority in Kern County set up leases with landlords who were uneasy signing a contract with a homeless person. Mr. Reed sees an opportunity to expand homeless outreach services through City Net and offer more support to the housing authority. “I want to help the homeless who truly want and need help. As far as those who are trying to burn the city down … that can’t be tolerated,” he said. He believes the city should enforce its ordinances when public health and safety are threatened. “It’s just too dangerous,” Mr. Reed said. “It makes me wonder, think about, consider raising our kids here. It’s never crossed my mind until now.” When he and his wife Caitlin became parents 15 months ago, it “raised the stakes” for him. Now, with a fourth member of the family on the way, the stakes are even higher. “I want nothing more than my wife and I to be able to raise our kids in the same great town I was raised in,” he said. “But the struggles we all are experiencing right now, I’m not as enthusiastic about that right now.” Part of the solution he sees lies in small businesses. The tax revenue from local

business funds the open spaces, parks and libraries. He wants to streamline the permitting process to better support business owners and homeowners. He also thinks a less burdensome process would help develop low-income and moderate-income housing. Much like his business’s mission, he believes in restoring Santa Barbara using existing resources. He sees an opportunity for the council to work with owners of large, vacant buildings to repurpose the structures for rental housing or other high-need areas. “We don’t look to add square footage to the town. And now more than ever, there’s square footage that is vacant,” he said. Mr. Reed also seeks to preserve single-family neighborhoods, such as the many residences in his district. “There are few hills to die on. But fighting to save our single-family neighborhoods from overcrowding and density is a hill I would die on,” he said. He sees a need for affordable housing but thinks crowding existing neighborhoods would create another problem. “I think there is always going to be more demand for affordable housing than our city can provide, but we have to be relentless in our pursuit,” he said. Leadership was a theme discussed by Mr. Reed. He believes private investment will increase if elected officials are consistent and direct. His campaign website is barrettreed.org. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Santa Barbara has found a way to celebrate its annual Summer Solstice despite COVID-19. And instead of being held on just one day, this year’s celebration is taking place throughout June with blooming, inflatable gardens popping up at homes and businesses throughout the city. The Santa Barbara Summer Solstice Celebration, which started Friday, is continuing through June 27. Festivities include the Virtual Community Parade made up of community photos and video submissions, as well as the Summer Solstice Virtual State Street Parade. You can watch the virtual State Street parade from 10 a.m. to noon June 26 during a screening at the Arlington Theatre, 1317 State St. Audience members are encouraged to wear their best Solstice costume at the Arlington, where they can meet parade participants. If you can’t make it to the Arlington, you can catch the virtual parade from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. June 27 on KEYT-TV, Channel 3. For the virtual parade, the TV Santa Barbara crew has filmed community groups and individuals. Another way to enjoy the festivities is with the Summer Solstice Blooming Gardens Guide. The guide highlights the Solstice art installations and their locations, decorated homes and businesses, and special events and activities. To see the guide, go to docs.

Continued from Page A1 intended to look like,” Josh Ellis, brewmaster and co-founder of M. Special told the News-Press Monday. “We built this bar to have people sitting there drinking beer. So we’re really excited to see what this place looks like when it’s realizing its potential. It’s been a long time coming.” During the pandemic, Mr. Ellis said utilizing the bar’s outdoor patio and parklet were “critical” for the bar’s survival. And even though more people will be allowed to drink indoors under the state’s new guidance, he said he doesn’t expect to see many changes in terms of the number of customers at his establishment. “I don’t imagine that (the bar) will look too terribly different than it did on Friday night or Saturday night, other than there’ll be people sitting at the bar,” Mr. Ellis said. “Hopefully I can get a few more people, but we have a lot of space here.” In addition to the change in capacity, Mr. Ellis said that starting today, he plans to make masks optional for vaccinated guests. “Until there’s a framework in place for verifying vaccinations, or until it is the mandate that we have to do that, I really don’t have any intentions of asking people to verify their vaccination,” Mr. Ellis said. “I’m going to trust our guests

To see streaming video GO TO

newspress.com to be responsible and be safe because I want everyone to stay healthy.” Other business owners on State Street are also getting ready to fully embrace the state’s new guidelines in their establishments. Arnold Buckner, a member of the co-op at Antique Alley, said masks will be completely optional for fully vaccinated patrons visiting the store. While the pandemic made it difficult at times to find inventory for the shop, Mr. Buckner said business has been booming. He expects that the store will remain busy as restrictions are lifted. “(Business) is better than ever, it really is,” Mr. Buckner told the News-Press. “On the weekends, we’re jammed, very busy.” While some businesses plan to embrace the new restrictions in full force, some businesses are planning to take a more phased approach. James Haskins, the owner of Tondi Gelato in the 600 block of State Street, said because the area for customers is only about 10 square feet, his store plans to continue the social distancing aspect of only having one or two parties in the place at one time. He added that the store will align with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines

for masking and “leave it up to the goodwill of customers” to attest their vaccination status. “I’ve always been pro-mask this entire pandemic, I’ve been very precautious (with) everything,” Mr. Haskins told the News-Press Monday. “But I think… (this is) a significant symbolic point, and June 15 for California, we’re opening up.” “If I had a different type of setup, if we had a different store, we would probably ask customers to continue to wear a mask while in the store until maybe more data comes out or federal guidelines come out from the state,” he added. “But we have a space that is literally 10 square feet of sales floor area. So if you’re coming in, you’re basically outside.” Since opening in April, Mr. Haskins said his gelato shop has been busy. As he looks toward the summer, he expects to see business remain on the uptick. “In regards to being open for business during the pandemic, we’ve been busy,” Mr. Haskins told the News-Press. “We’ve been doing really pretty well. We make good products, we have really good service, we’re a mom and pop shop, and we have a good location. So that definitely helps. “But I can say in the last few weeks as we approach summer and the reopening of California, we definitely have been picking up even more so.” email: mhirneisen@newspress.com M. Special Brewing Co. will continue to utilize its outdoor patio and parklet even though capacity restrictions indoors have ended as of today.

Any property that has been identified and requested for purchase by a city, county, city and county, or nonprofit organization to serve the public benefit by providing housing or services directly related to low-income persons and for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for three or more years.

Note: The power to sell schedule for nonresidential commercial property is three or more years of tax default status, unless the county adopts, by ordinance or resolution, the ﬁve-year tax default schedule. The parcels listed herein meet one or more of the conditions listed above and thus, will become subject to the tax collector’s power to sell on July 1, 2021, at 12:01 a.m., by operation of law. The tax collector’s power to sell will arise unless the property is either redeemed or made subject to an installment plan of redemption initiated as provided by law prior to close of business on the last business day in June. The right to an installment plan terminates on the last business day in June, and after that date the entire balance due must be paid in full to prevent sale of the property at a tax sale. The right of redemption survives the property becoming subject to the power to sell, but it terminates at close of business on the last business day prior to the date of the sale by the tax collector. All information concerning redemption or the initiation of an installment plan of redemption will be furnished, upon request, by Harry E. Hagen, County Treasurer-Tax Collector, at the ofﬁce locations listed below: County Administration Building 105 E. Anapamu Street, Room 109 Telephone: (805) 568-2920

Group claims use of Dominion vote tabulation led to ‘major discrepancies in the final vote count’ FRAUD

Continued from Page A1 counties, including Santa Barbara County, were not printed in accordance with California Election Code. The affidavit alleges that ballots distributed in Santa Barbara County did not have instructions printed on the ballot, and the group says that this goes against California Election Code 13200. “Since the mail-in ballots for the November 2020 General Election for Santa Barbara County did not contain the statutory language, the ballots should not have been cast nor counted,” the affidavit reads. Mr. Holland refuted this claim in an email to the News-Press, writing “Santa Barbara County Elections complied with all relevant California Election Code sections related to ballot printing in the November 3, 2020 General Election.” The second complaint centers around the use of Dominion vote tabulation, which the affidavit says led to “major discrepancies in the final vote count for Presidential and Vice Presidential races.” The affidavit goes on to allege that Santa Barbara County’s vote count was incorrect, citing that the county reported 129,963 votes for Joe Biden and 65,736 votes for Donald Trump, but use of a “proper algorithm” shows Mr. Trump with 93,909 votes and Mr. Biden with 99,972 votes. As a result of these complaints, community members who signed the affidavit say they are seeking Mr. Holland’s resignation. “We are putting him on notice that we know that (he) committed voter fraud, and we’re voicing our opinion that (he) needs to step down,” B. Grace Wallace, one of the community members who

delivered the affidavit, told the News-Press. In response to the affidavit, Mr. Holland told the NewsPress that all election laws were followed during the 2020 election, adding that the election was the most secure in county history. “All California election laws were adhered to in November 2020, and we provided the most successful, secure and safe election in the history of this county,” Mr. Holland said. “And (the election) was fantastically successful, with record turnout and record voter participation during the pandemic.” Mr. Holland also refuted additional allegations of election fraud that have circulated in recent weeks, including the alleged ballots sent to UCSB dorms in the fall. According to the affidavit, Mr. Holland has 10 days to respond, and if he doesn’t, he “tacitly agrees with and admits to them.” If Mr. Holland does not respond, Ms. Wallace said the group plans to send an affidavit to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office to ask that department to investigate alleged voter fraud. “What we’re wanting to do is bring attention to the fact that our election process does not have the oversight that we have elected these officials to carry on and conduct,” David Hudspeth, one of the community members present on Monday, told the News-Press. “And so we’re confronting them with the fact that this is not a job — this is supporting the freedoms of the people that elected them. And whenever fraud or the possible implication of fraud is present, then we expect them to take affirmative action. And this has not happened.” email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

KIMBERLY, James B. Formerly of Santa Barbara, CA, and Buffalo, NY, passed away June 4, 2021, aged 81, in Los Angeles CA. Born and raised in Buffalo, NY, James, also known as “Jamie,” was the youngest of three sons born to the late William F. and Emily (Bosley) Kimberly. He attended Nichols 6FKRRO LQ %XIIDOR %HUNVKLUH 6FKRRO ¶ LQ 6KHIÀHOG MA, and Franklin & Marshall College (‘62) in Lancaster, PA. Jamie was blessed with a nimble wit, a booming voice in speech and song, a love of art and music, and a jokester’s zest for life that proved an irresistible social magnet to many. A willing storyteller, he held listeners in rapt attention with hilarious tales (sometimes tall) about childhood adventures, playing drums for The Fabulous Toads, U.S. Army intrigues in Cold-War Germany and whatever else was on his mind.

Jamie was an enthusiastic gourmand who loved a convivial evening with friends, laughter soaring high. Also possessed of a fair share of human quirks, his big heart was the fair balance. He had a penchant for seeking out and introducing long-lost relatives to each other (and to himself), and cared deeply enough about family ties that he changed his middle name to Bosley when, as a teenager, he thought his mother’s family name might die out. (It did not, as it happened.) Things became slightly confusing when Jamie moved to Santa Barbara and began asking everyone to “please call me James.” This solemn request, cheerfully ignored by some, ultimately stuck in his adopted community, where he will be remembered as fondly as in his native Buffalo. In declining health, his last years were spent at the Veterans Home in Los Angeles. He is survived by his wife, Christine LaChance, of Portland, OR, step-son, Manly Ishwardas, of Buffalo, and several loving cousins, nieces and nephews. He was brother to the late William Fiske (“Kim”) Kimberly, Jr. and the late Newton Shepard (“Sam”) Kimberly. A service in Buffalo, NY, will be announced at a future date.

Goleta-based coffee company expands

Frinj theory

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

California may seem like an odd place to grow coffee. But it once was weird to make wine here, and if Jay Ruskey gets his way, coastal Southern California may become coffee country too. His company, Frinj Coffee, is closer to a winery experience with a couple new developments. Frinj is hosting a farm tour and tasting experience at Good Land Organics, Mr. Ruskey’s farm and Frinj headquarters. Frinj supports 70 farms from Goleta to San Diego. It provides the plants and processes the crop post-harvest. Among the farms is Carpinteria’s Rancho Delfino. Owner Mike Masino recently received a cupping score of 93 (on a 100-point scale) for his new harvest of Geisha coffee. The result is a cup of Joe with flavors of honeycomb, bergamot and vanilla cola (so says the label). Mr. Masino, a down-to-earth guy, says he can’t taste the intricate flavors like judges can. But when Mr. Ruskey poured him a cup of California-grown Geisha coffee, he knew he wanted Ranchero Delfino to become a Frinj farm. “It was like nothing I’d ever tasted before. It was so smooth and good,” he told the NewsPress. Geisha is a variety of coffee Please see COFFEE on B2

FYI Tickets for tours of Good Land Organics, a Frinj farm, are available for four dates, with a maximum of 25 guests each day. The first is this Friday, followed by tours July 24, Aug. 13 and Sept. 17. Tickets cost $150. Tickets and additional information are available at frinjcoffee. com/products/june-18th.

Four tours of farm planned for this summer COFFEE

Continued from Page B1 plant, and Geisha is hailed by coffee enthusiasts as the most exclusive and purest bean. It originated in Ethiopia’s Gori Gesha Forest and was popularized in Panama, and now Frinj is sprouting Geisha in Santa Barbara County. Mr. Ruskey first began growing coffee as part of a research project. He killed a lot of fickle coffee plants but began to develop a system for growing a good cup of coffee. He was successful growing coffee in avocado groves. It is more sustainable too, as the crops share the resources. A magazine article about his technique caught Mr. Masino’s attention in 2013. Mr. Masino had just bought an avocado grove, which served as a retirement gig and a way for him and his wife to relocate to their dream area. But the reality wasn’t so pleasant. “March 2013, the night after our escrow closed, the temperature dropped to 20 degrees,” he said. “In less than 24 hours, I thought I lost a whole avocado grove.” The land had been churning out avocados since the ’40s and survived the frost, but it had been neglected and needed renovation. Now he has plentiful avocado harvests and is producing outstanding coffee. Frinj receives the coffee cherries the day they are picked and processes the harvest through a multi-step process. The cherries are checked for density, and the fruit is peeled off the bean. Then the beans are fermented for a few days before a 10-day drying period. The beans are roasted on demand, packaged and shipped out from Good Land Organics farm. It’s been years since Mr. Rusky has shown the farm to the public. But he’s excited to show off Frinj’s process in four tours this summer. “Especially coming out of COVID, we think people are ready to learn more about their coffee. So we’d like for them to come up and share the experience and

then hopefully this can grow into something bigger,” Mr. Ruskey told the News-Press. Guests will hike through the orchards, tasting fresh coffee cherries, caviar limes and cherimoyas produced by Good Land Organics. Those unable to walk through the farm can relax by a pond. Then the guided tour will explain how Frinj processes coffee. The experience ends with a coffee pour-over tasting. Staff will explain how to taste the coffee, identifying the many flavors that emerge from a good cup. Tickets are available for four dates, with a maximum of 25 guests each day. The first is this Friday, followed by tours July 24, Aug. 13 and Sept. 17. Tickets cost $150. Tickets and additional information are available at frinjcoffee.com/ products/june-18th. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

look forward to writing this column every year, a chance to honor my father’s memory and his legacy. I am the proud son of a former Chicago Tribune reporter, Peter Charles Goldsmith, who taught me everything I know about being a newspaperman. I guess you could say writing is in my blood, but more accurately my dad is in my soul. My dad was a good man, and these days that is a rarity. As I get older, I find that many of the things he predicted I would face have come to pass. Having a little warning was helpful, but even he didn’t foresee a pandemic. Still, my dad’s advice still rings in my ears. “Never lift anything heavier than you are,” “Always face life with a sense of humor, or the joke will be on you,” and “It’s OK to buy, but don’t be sold” were some of his better ones. Even now I seek his counsel in my thoughts. Many kids grew up without a father; my own nephews had that experience. I tried to be there for them, but there is no replacement for your dad. I know my own dad didn’t do everything right, but the stuff he did well left an impression on me. After the Trib, he started his own PR firm and had a side hustle of photographing and producing the first wall-size photo murals. I still see them today in the oddest of places, mostly on TV, but there’s even one on Amazon’s screensaver. He was cool, but his best characteristic was the depth of his love. I love my wife to pieces and show her every day, and he did the same thing with my mom. That wasn’t always easy. When he went through a bankruptcy, Mom didn’t take it so well when we had to quit the country club, but a few years later, he started one of his own. The man loved his golf, a game of cards and his cigars. Yes, he had some bad habits, but he was a good guy, and that’s all that mattered to me. We had a comfortable life, and he took care of the whole family. Just him and his oneman shop. There were tough times and sweet ones, and he was pretty healthy up until the end. When he was dying, I flew from Los Angeles to Las Vegas every weekend to be with him, and he lived longer than the doctors predicted. I don’t regret a moment of the time I spent with him; that time will always stay with me. If your dad is around, remind him of your favorite memories of being his kid, and spend some time looking into his eyes and really connecting. I know it may sound a little hippy-dippy, but that stuff really gives you a connection that you can’t get from anywhere else. If you are a dad, you are a lucky man (yes, even if the kids are a pain in the butt). Having a family is the best part of life, even if you have your issues. It’s way better than growing up without a father or being a grown-up without one. Barton Goldsmith, Ph.D., LMFT, is an award-winning therapist and writer.

or how compelling the deal, walk away. LIBRA — Are you certain you can’t modify your current situation, Libra? Are you a prisoner of a lifestyle that isn’t of your own making or is a throwback to the past? People have been asking you to take on too many responsibilities and this is weighing you down. Don’t be afraid to distance yourself from these situations. Learn to say no. SCORPIO — The forecast for you is excellent, Scorpio. You can rely on today’s aspects to restore your self-confidence, which has been sorely tried during the past few days. The charismatic seducer in you can swagger forth, certain of conquest. However, don’t go too far. Wait a while for reality to dispel the cloud of ecstasy and you will be able to see the future more clearly. SAGITTARIUS — You may have some trouble communicating today, Sagittarius. It’s as though something is distorting your perception. Don’t be surprised if once evening comes you feel like forgetting about everything and traveling to the other side of the world. Tomorrow you will see clearly again. CAPRICORN — You are radiant and glowing with happiness today, Capricorn! This is a refreshing change after the gloom of the past few weeks. Apparently, the decisions you made worked out for the best. Or even better, perhaps you’re in love? In any case, it will be even easier than usual for you to communicate with others and share your joy. AQUARIUS — Your goal for today is to enchant your mate. There’s no reason not to try. Indeed, it’s an excellent day for love. But don’t exaggerate your seductive wiles, Aquarius. Since the day’s aspects tend to distort your perception of things, you may be deceived by what you see in the mirror. PISCES — You’re in splendid shape today, Pisces! Did a fairy godmother brandish a magic wand to dispel all the little difficulties of the past few weeks? Enjoy this moment of relief from worries. As for your love life, some exciting opportunities may arise. Be on the lookout for them. Whatever you do, don’t let them pass you by!

Horoscope.com Tuesday, June 15, 2021 ARIES — It’s certainly clear that you have faith in your actions, Aries! You feel no fear or doubt as you progress toward your goals at a fast clip, cruising along on calm seas under clear skies. This new atmosphere is likely the product of your renewed commitment. Reward yourself for your accomplishments, but you should wait a few days before launching an all-out celebration. TAURUS — This is a moment to start being creative and stop worrying that you don’t have talent, Taurus. Who’s to say what “talent” is? In the romance department, the love of your life might be right under your nose. Try lifting your eyes from the romance novels and look around. The perfect mate could be any number of people in your daily life. GEMINI — You may be a bit unclear about your professional direction today, Gemini. Your motivation has disappeared without warning. What happened? It may be that you need to become involved in projects that have more universal resonance. Projects that concern only your interests or that are of narrow scope no longer hold your attention. CANCER — You could be seeing mirages at the moment, Cancer, most notably in the environment around you. You may have the impression that people are lying to you or that they’re hiding something from you. Or it may be that you’re the one who lies about certain things or hides what you do. Why are you making it all so complicated? Don’t be afraid to express your feelings. LEO — Hold on to your wallet, Leo, because you may have some strange {though noble) impulses to give away your money or spend a large amount on something useless. You should think about spending your money in a better way or not at all. Why not consider donating some of your time rather than money to those in need? VIRGO — Today isn’t a good day to sign contracts or make any substantial purchases, Virgo. Go to the grocery store, by all means, but buy hamburger, not tenderloin. Keep your money at home and safeguard your reserves. Don’t negotiate about anything. No matter how good the offer sounds

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.
