County ICU patients trend downward Board of Supervisors discusses vaccine hesitancy, herd immunity By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

For the first time since the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department began tracking in April 2020, there were no patients receiving care in the Intensive Care Units of local hospitals due to COVID-19 as of Monday. Dr. Van Do-Reynoso, the Public Health director, shared the news to the County

Board of Supervisors on Tuesday. “The last time it was this low was when we had one patient at the end of October 2020, so this is, indeed, really good news, encouraging news, that perhaps we are turning the corner,” she told the board. She added that there are good data trends for the county, including decreases in both new cases and active cases across the county. The health department reported a total

of three ICU patients Tuesday. However, Dr. Do-Reynoso shared that the county will still remain in the orange tier this week, with a 3.5 adjusted case rate for tier assignment and 4.1 new cases per day per 100,000. The county’s positivity rate sits at 1.4, with the health equity metric at 1.8. The county’s case rate needs to be below two cases per 100,000 for two weeks before it can reach the yellow tier.

In addition, now that Pfizer’s vaccine just received emergency-use authorization approval for youths 12 and older from the Food and Drug Administration Monday, Dr. Do-Reynoso said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Independent Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices will be meeting today and is expected to vote by noon.

The Santa Barbara Museum of Art’s permanent collection is back on display after a partial reopening Tuesday. The museum, which is currently undergoing extensive renovation, will hold a grand reopening this summer. The construction was years in the making and with the museum closed anyway, staff took the opportunity to reconfigure some of the galleries and rehang the art. “We needed to do extensive work. But we thought as long as we were going to do such an extensive project, we might as well do other things we wanted,” Larry Feinberg, the Robert and Mercedes Eichholz director and CEO, told the News-Press Tuesday. The renovations mainly focused on the structural integrity of the building, sealing it from leaks and replacing its temperature

newspress.com and humidity controls. The newly renovated galleries have LED lighting, natural light from skylights and a fresh flow of air. A new contemporary art gallery and the reconfiguration of Ludington Court will allow curators to display works that have “not seen the light of day in decades,” Mr. Feinberg said. “There will be more of the museum’s permanent collection on view than (at) any time in the museum’s history,” he said. This year, which commemorates the museum’s 80th anniversary, is dedicated to the permanent collection. “People will really be able to see the range and depth of our collection,” he said. In the meantime, visitors can get a sampling of the museum’s diversity. Less than half of the gallery space is currently open.

Deborah Kerner and Richard Waxberg, artists from Ojai, hadn’t been to the museum in more than a year. They like to visit periodically and view the collection.

“This museum is varied in terms of having pieces from Japan, China, all over the world and, of course, the European paintings and American paintings,” Deborah Kerner, who was visiting the galleries, told the News-Press.

The Santa Barbara Unified School District will be expanding its vaccine bussing service to include students ages 12-15 following the Food and Drug Administration’s emergency-use authorization of the Pfizer-manufactured COVID19 vaccine. The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department will hold vaccination clinics at school sites in the late afternoon to serve students and families, with a start date yet to be determined, Public Health’s school liaison Susan Klein-Rothschild

announced during the district’s board meeting Tuesday evening. Since the last meeting of the board, the district has tracked 12 new COVID-19 cases on campus, 10 of which were in students. In the action agenda, the board unanimously approved the proposed names for the track and tunnel Santa Barbara High School’s Peabody Stadium: Cunningham Track and Hutton Parker Foundation Tunnel. Prior to the board’s decision, a public hearing was held. The only commenter, Monie de Witt, thought the names should reflect underrepresented student groups rather than the highest Please see SBUSD on A4

lack of trust between residents and the government that even if they get the vaccine, the mitigation measures won’t go away. He said he knows many of his constituents feel like the “goalposts keep moving,” with the messaging from health officials going from slowing the spread to avoiding overwhelming the health care systems to waiting for a vaccine to now waiting until herd immunity. “I don’t want to minimize any deaths that happened in this county, but we’ve now gone two weeks with no deaths, and we were one death before that and two deaths before that, and that’s per week,” Chair Nelson said. “I want to make sure we acknowledge the risk has gone down significantly, but we are still living with a lot of these mitigation measures and safety measures. “As quickly as they (safety measures) came about, I really think that they should start to be phased out here, and I’m hopeful that the state is hearing that and that they will send down those guidelines.”

resident Terri Strickland said she thinks “it’s time for this board to stop vaccine shaming.” “If you really believe the vaccines work, why are you all sitting up there, six feet apart from each other, masked?” she said. “This is no way to encourage people who are on the fence to get the vaccine.” First District Supervisor Das Williams responded to the comment saying that “encouragement is very different than shaming.” “I think that it’s important to encourage people to be doing something that’s good for their neighbors and for their families and protect them from contracting a deadly disease,” he said. “We should have folks making their own decision about whether to get vaccinated … But the risks of having an insufficient number of people are vaccinated are high, and because of that, I very much encourage people to get out there and get vaccinated.” Bob Nelson, board chair and 4th District supervisor, said he sympathizes with Ms. Strickland’s concerns.

vaccine doses sit in the health care system’s reserve that have not been administered. This resulted in a discussion among the board members about vaccine hesitancy. Steve Lavagnino, the 5th District supervisor, asked why the board members are still required to wear masks indoors if they’re fully vaccinated, and the response was that the Cal/OSHA regulations are still in place for county employees. “I mean, six cases and nobody in the ICU — I know there’s the time where you don’t want to announce victory too soon and we still have to be cognizant of the fact that it (COVID-19) still exists out there,” Supervisor Lavagnino said. “But at some point, we have to realize we’re going to live with this virus for the rest of our lives, and I think it’s incumbent upon us as leadership to show that we were the first ones who started to wear the masks — and it was real quick in implementing the ordinances — so we need to be just as swift in removing them when they don’t make sense anymore.” During public comment, county

SANTA BARBARA — The Santa Barbara City Fire Department has determined the cause of Saturday’s structure fire at 1322 Dover Hill Road to be accidental in nature and most likely caused by an electrical malfunction. The fire resulted in the total destruction of the single-family residence and caused more than $1.85 million in total damages. The single occupant who was home at the time of the fire escaped without injury and no injuries were reported, authorities said. The fire occurred just before 10 a.m. Saturday. Upon arrival, fire crews found the structure fully involved in fire with flames rolling out of nearly every window. Crews aggressively attacked the fire from the exterior and prevented it from spreading to nearby vegetation and neighboring residences. Fire officials remain the public that early notification to 911 is the first step to reducing potential devastation and loss of life as a result of fast-moving fires.

LOMPOC — Two people were injured Monday night in a shooting outside the 7Eleven convenience store at 1337 N. H St. in Lompoc, police said. Just before midnight Monday, police responded to the emergency room at Lompoc Valley Medical Center for a report of two victims being treated for non-life threatening gunshot wounds. The preliminary investigation revealed that the shooting occurred approximately 30 minutes prior after a brief altercation between a group of subjects and another individual, according to the Lompoc Police Department. The altercation occurred inside the convenience store and continued in the parking lot. The suspect, described as a Hispanic man associated with a black-colored SUV who was acting as a lone individual, produced a firearm and shot at the group, striking two of them, police said. “The victims were uncooperative throughout the preliminary investigation and did not desire prosecution,” police said. “They were both treated for their injuries at the emergency room and later released.” An investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information is asked to contact police or notify the department via the Lompoc Police Department mobile application.

health care providers providing the Pfizer vaccine. Dr. Do-Reynoso said the Public Health Department awaits CDC fact sheets and dosage guidelines, along with parental permission guidelines from the state department. “I think the benefit of getting your vaccination is that it will protect the child, it will protect their family, and it will protect the community,” she said. “Children can now return to a full array of extracurricular activities without the fear of getting COVID or transmitting COVID, so I think that the advantages and the benefits far outweigh any perceived disadvantages.” The public health director also shared that 62.1% of eligible individuals in Santa Barbara County have had their first dose (or their single dose) and 48.6% of eligible individuals in the county have been fully vaccinated (with both doses or their single dose). She also shared the percentages of vaccines administered to individuals out of every individual in the county (including infants) — 49.5% of all county residents have gotten their first or single dose; and 38.7% of them are fully vaccinated.

SAN LUIS OBISPO — San Luis Obispo Police Detective Luca Benedetti, a 12-year law enforcement veteran, was shot and killed Monday while serving a search warrant in San Luis Obispo. The suspected shooter, Edward Zamora Giron, 37, was found dead following the incident. Detective Steve Orozco was injured and transported to a local hospital where he was treated and released Monday night. He is expected to fully recover, according to the San Luis Obispo Police Department. “Our community is heartbroken,” San Luis Obispo Mayor Heidi Harmon said in a statement. “Detective Benedetti loved this City and bravely gave his life so that we could live in peace and safety. Luca’s children have lost their father so we could be safe. We will hold Detective Benedetti and his family in our hearts forever.” Ms. Harmon also recognized the bravery of all the officers involved in the incident, namely Detective Orozco. “As Detective Orozco recuperates at home, we are grateful that his physical wounds will heal, and we recognize that yesterday’s events have changed his life forever,” she said. Detective Benedetti is survived by his wife and two young children. He joined the San Luis Obispo Police Department in 2012 and before that served for four years with the Atascadero Police Department. At approximately 5 p.m. Monday, six SLOPD officers served the search warrant for possible stolen property related to a series of late-night commercial burglaries that have taken place over the past week. As the officers approached the apartment, they provided “knock and notice” identifying themselves as law enforcement as required by California Penal Code 844. After an extended period of time and having received no response, they forced open the front door. Mr. Giron was lying in wait and began to fire shots at the officers from inside the apartment. Officers returned fire and retreated, however the two officers were shot during the exchange of gunfire. Mr. Giron was later found deceased inside the apartment with an apparent self-inflicted, fatal gunshot wound and other injuries consistent with being struck by the officers return fire. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, issued the following statement on Tuesday: “I am saddened that a member of our local law enforcement was killed and another was seriously injured in the line of duty in San Luis Obispo last night. My thoughts are with Detectives Benedetti and Orozco’s loved ones, colleagues, and our entire community as we mourn this loss,” he said. “This week is National Police Week, a time to recognize the hard job our law enforcement officers take on. They put their lives on the line to keep us safe and, as we experienced last night, some have sadly lost their lives in service to our community. I will continue working in Congress to support our law enforcement community who work hard to protect us.” The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office, in coordination with the SLO District

outpouring of support we have received from the community,” he said. “We are also grateful for the continued support from our Central Coast law enforcement partners and beyond. The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office along with allied law enforcement agencies in the county will respond to calls for service in the City of San Luis Obispo during the coming days while members of the SLOPD grieve and work through this tragedy.”

City Council approves clean energy rates By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

On Tuesday, the Santa Barbara City Council unanimously approved the Santa Barbara Clean Energy Rate setting formula and authorized the city administrator to determine rates by application of the formulas. Three distinct product options will be available to SBCE customers, defined by the amount of carbon-free energy content as established by the council, and price per kilowatt-hour. The rate formulas are as follows: the default, SBCE 100% green, will use the formula of the SCE base rate plus $0.012/kWh; SBCE Green Start will match the SCE base rate; and the SBCE Resilient Net Surplus Compensation Rate will use the formula of $0.0663/kWh for excess solar generation. For the default, the premium is largely related to the Power Cost Indifference Adjustment surcharges, which will diminish over time, according to city staff. The premium results in a bill increase of approximately 5 to 8% for residential customers, or $3 to $5 per month. “It’s just so exciting to have local control, to be able to diversify how we’re procuring energy and where we’re getting that from, to really put high-level requirements on that energy that we’re procuring and to be doing right by our citizens and our residents in having renewable energy through every electrical socket that’s available,” Councilwoman Kristen Sneddon said. “When I tell people about this, they just can’t believe it, that without doing anything, just by turning their power on and plugging into

their electrical outlets, that they’re going to be getting 100% renewable energy sources is just incredible.” Councilman Eric Friedman said that he remembers back in 2006 when the first discussions of community choice energy came up. “There were a lot of setbacks, but we kept moving the ball forward, and we now have our own program which is going to have all the benefits we’ve been discussing today, but also the ability to do our own local programming and invest in new jobs in a new sector to diversify our economy,” he said. “Here in the city of Santa Barbara, there are a lot of jobs in the green energy industry, so I’m just really glad this is moving forward.” The revenue requirement accounts for power supply costs, administrative and operational costs, rate stability reserve requirements (25%) and customer programs offered by SBCE supporting energy and climate goals. The rates also support energy efficiency, reliability and resilience, along with the city’s carbon neutrality goal and energy and climate program overhead, according to city staff’s presentation. The City Council also heard an update from city staff on the Sewer Lateral Inspection Program, detailing its improvements over the last two years that focused on improving customer services, developing effective public communication materials, offering incentive programs and providing individual assistance to property owners navigating the complex sewer lateral inspection and repair process. City staff highlighted the Forward Lateral web-based software that streamlines the SLIP review process between the city, plumbing

contractor and property owner. According to Hillary Hauser, the president and executive director of Heal the Ocean, her organization has been working on this SLIP program for “years and years.” “I love the elements of this program that guarantee that the homeowner will have an oversight to their inspection and that there can’t be any (confusion) from plumbers saying you’ve got a problem when you don’t,” Ms. Hauser said during public comment. Councilmembers echoed their support of the SLIP program, including Councilman Mike Jordan, who said the program is “leaps and leaps forward” from where it was. “I just love that you’re able to — for the same amount or less money than you’re spending on something that’s not being as effective — take that same resource and leverage it with a third party company out there to make it broadly more effective,” he said. He added that he supports the competitive bid set up, saying, “If it’s not deeper than eight or 12 feet, it’s going to be $5,000 no matter what, which is way better than hearing from your neighbors that you paid more or they paid less.” Ms. Sneddon spoke to the department’s “excellence in communication and outreach,” adding that the Water Resources Division successfully took the public input and responded to it. She said of the SLIP program, “This has been really responsive in terms of people understanding, but also being able to prepare for the costs and having them be reliable and predictable.” email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Botanic garden achieves national accreditation SANTA BARBARA — The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden has once again achieved accreditation by the American Alliance of Museums, considered the highest national recognition afforded to the nation’s museums. The garden was initially accredited in 1996, and all museums must undergo a reaccreditation review at least every 10 years to maintain accredited status. Accreditation signifies excellence to the museum community, to governments, funders, outside agencies and to the general public. The local garden is one of only 3% of botanic gardens in the nation accredited as a living museum. Alliance Accreditation brings national recognition to a museum for its commitment to excellence, accountability, high professional standards, and continued institutional improvement. “This reaccreditation certifies the Garden as a leader within our field, maintaining the highest standards of collections management, research, and educational programs,” Dr. Steve Windhager, the garden’s executive director, said in a statement. “Our reaccreditation is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of our staff and board.” To earn accreditation, a museum first must conduct a year of selfstudy and then undergo a site visit by a team of peer reviewers. AAM’s Accreditation Commission, an independent and autonomous body of museum professionals, considers the self-study and visiting committee report to determine whether a museum should receive accreditation. Founded in 1926, the garden is the first botanic garden focused exclusively on California native plants and currently spans 78 acres with five miles of walking trails, an herbarium, seed bank, research labs, library, and nursery. The garden welcomes the public every day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and offers a members-only hour from 9 to 10 a.m. For more information about the garden, please visit sbbg.org. — Mitchell White

Museum open at 50% capacity museum

Continued from Page A1 favorite art museums. They’ve previously seen the works currently on display, but they enjoy viewing the art periodically. SBMA opened in October for a few weeks when the county was in the red tier but had to close again when the county was demoted to the purple tier. Otherwise, community members have had online galleries and resources available. The online programs, both for kids and adults, have drawn a larger audience than previous events held in person. In the future, the museum may simulcast programs, Mr. Feinberg said. Despite the success of online events, he said viewing art online is “just not the same.” “Just the quality of presence, it’s just like the difference of being in the presence of a person and talking to a person online. It’s dramatic,” he said. Edward Morenz, a Ventura resident and SBMA member, calls the museum a “getaway.” “I’ve always loved this museum ever since I was a kid,” he said. “I’ve seen so many beautiful pieces and works of art, and I’m glad it’s finally back open. I can

hardly wait for them to open the whole museum.” Some canceled their memberships during the pandemic but others waited patiently. Individual donations and Paycheck Protection Program loans kept SBMA from laying off employees. Mr. Feinberg predicts more members will re-enroll soon. “I’m pretty confident that the museum itself, which has really been much transformed, and the really exciting shows will bring people back,” he said. In February 2022, a Vincent Van Gogh exhibit will be on display. The exhibit was delayed during lockdown, but pushing the date back worked out well for the museum. More Van Gogh paintings have become available, and the newly renovated museum will be ready to display them. Tickets are free for both members and nonmembers and can be reserved at tickets.sbma. net. Museum staff highly recommend making a reservation as SBMA operates at 50% capacity. The museum is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays-Sundays with hours extended until 8 p.m. Thursdays. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

which had four kids graduate from Santa Barbara High School. Katie Jacobs, director of the Foundation for Santa Barbara High School, recognized Sam “Bam” Cunningham who played for the Patriots and Randall Cunningham who played for the Eagles. In other news, the board approved the district to negotiate with FPA Multifamily, LLC, on a lease or sale of a 23.8 acre lot

owned by the district. (The land was purchased with the intent to build a school but was not viable because of a neighboring railway.) The district has a pre-existing option and lease agreement with FPA to build senior housing, set to expire May 27. FPA did not find a market for the project and has worked with Santa Barbara Unified to develop an idea for affordable housing. The district would like units

earmarked for employees and homeless students. It is likely that FPA would collaborate with the Housing Authority of the County of Santa Barbara, and the Housing Authority’s director John Polanskey helped present project details. The board meeting was ongoing as of press time. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

PREP BASEBALL SANTA PAULA 5, CARPINTERIA 0 Miles Souza registered 12 strikeouts on the mound, but the Warriors were held to just two hits on the afternoon in their loss to Santa Paula. Souza and Hunter Garcia were the only Warriors who reached base via hits on

Tuesday. “Today’s game was even closer than the score as it hinged on just a few plays. Santa Paula applied continuous pressure and really limited the attack. Without run support, the pitcher has to be nearly perfect,” coach Pat Cooney said. “The bright spots today were that we pitched well, played good defense and were mentally alert through 7 innings.” Carpinteria (7-4, 6-3 in Central Coast League) is tied for second in the loss column with Santa Paula. The two teams will meet again at Santa Paula Thursday.

Making history The Alisal named as one of Historic Hotels of America By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

he Alisal Guest Ranch & Resort in Solvang has joined Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The iconic luxury dude ranch, which is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, is one of more than 300 hotels and resorts throughout the country that is recognized and accredited for preserving and maintaining its historic integrity, architecture and ambiance. “It is a true honor for the resort to be recognized by the Historic Hotels of America,” said Kathleen Cochran, general manager of The Alisal Guest Ranch & Resort. “The Alisal has a unique history here in the Santa Ynez Valley. Our resort sits on a 10,500-acre ranch that was once a California ranchero, and everything, including our décor, culinary programming and activities, all take inspiration from the rich history of the property and the region of California.” To be selected for membership in Historic Hotels of America, a hotel must be at least 50 years old, have been designated by the

U.S. secretary of the interior as a National Historic Landmark or listed in or be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and recognized as having historic significance. The Alisal Guest Ranch & Resort’s origin dates to 1843, during which it was known as Rancho Nojoqui, and the property has been a working ranch ever since. It was renamed in 1868 as The Alisal, translating from the Chumash language to mean “Grove of the Sycamores.” The Alisal became the hotel it is now known as in July 1946, when Charles Pete Jackson Jr. and his family opened the dude ranch for lodging. Since then, The Alisal has kept its Western-flair hospitality and has been home to everything from celebrity weddings and championship cycling training to the birthplace of the Kentucky Derby winner. The ranch has 73 private guest cottages and suites, more than 50 miles of horseback riding trails, two 18-hole championship golf courses, a 6,500-square-foot spa and fitness center, six tennis courts and a 100-acre spring-fed lake with water sports, including fly fishing, Please see ALISAL on B2

The cattlemen’s quarters that once fed grub to cowboys is now a discriminating restaurant, and deer can still be seen grazing, though these days, it is often on The Alisal’s golf courses. Horses and cattle roam grass-covered hills that have changed little since the days of the Spanish vaquero. Additional decades-old traditions of the ranch, such as the Santa Maria style barbecue and rodeos, have direct ties back to the history and culture of the region. One of the property’s most beloved activities is the Breakfast Ride via horseback or hay-wagon to the historic Old Adobe, which is a recreation of a building that used to sit in its exact location. Upon their arrival, guests are greeted by a “cowboy poet,” who provides locally inspired entertainment, and a buffet spread of hearty breakfast around a campfire. Guests can stroll the grounds of the Old Adobe and visit inside, which is adorned with local antiques and taxidermy. “We are delighted to induct The Alisal Guest Ranch & Resort

It’s off to college they go. Seniors in Pioneer Valley High School’s Achievement Via Individual Determination classes signed a commitment Friday to their post-secondary institution of their choice. Nearly 60 Panthers at the Santa Maria school participated in the annual event at campus’ amphitheater. The students are on their way to 25 institutions, which break down to one community college, 18 CalState or UC schools, one military branch and five private schools. The schools vary from Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, UCLA, USC, Stanford and Yale. The students participated in AVID, which stands for Achievement Via Individual Determination. “To me signing day is being one step closer to achieving my goal of going to a university and pursuing my dream career of becoming a nurse,’’ said Kimberly Lua, a senior AVID student, in a news release. “I am passionate and excited to help others and give back to my community through my career.” Another senior AVID student, Gabriel Dominguez, said he has been working for five years toward his goal of attending a university right out of high school. “Signing Day is the day I finally get to plant my flag on the mountain’s peak and reflect on all I’ve done to get where I am. Signing Day isn’t just a day to celebrate this achievement. It’s also a day for me to thank everyone who was there for me and helped me reach the mountain peak.” Brooke Baarstad, a math and AVID teacher, said Pioneer Valley High School is celebrating the accomplishments of the AVID Class of 2021 after for four years of the students’ growth in academic, social and self-awareness areas. “We are pleased to honor the perseverance and dedication

Horoscope.com Wednesday, May 12, 2021

ARIES — You’re looking good and feeling great, Aries. Now if only your home environment reflected who you are. As you look around, you may realize that it isn’t as elegant as it could be. Today you can begin to change it. Begin with the basics - tidy up and clear away clutter. Once all the extraneous items are gone, you can begin to look at more serious changes. TAURUS — Sign up for a class or workshop today. Your career could greatly benefit from more training. A short computer course might be all you need to move your career a giant leap forward. Don’t neglect your artistic abilities, Taurus. Ideally, you will find a way to integrate your creative talents into your daily business life. There’s always room for creativity. GEMINI — You’ve been working especially hard lately, Gemini, and today you may begin to reap the benefits of all your hard work. Some project that’s dear to your heart may be nearing completion, and even you are impressed by the results! All those naysayers who said it would never work are now looking at you with admiration and respect. Give yourself a pat on the back for your accomplishment. CANCER — There’s no other way to say this, Cancer - you’re in the mood for love. Tonight you may feel a strong urge to be with your partner. If there isn’t one in your life, you should take steps to correct that. You may meet someone who sweeps you off your feet. You want to be head-in-theclouds in love, which is the only way to be! LEO — You have a generous spirit, Leo, which could get you into trouble if you aren’t careful. When you get a gift of money or even a hint of one, your tendency is to buy presents for all your friends. It’s hard to fault you for this, but there are other ways to show your affection. You could bake cookies to distribute, for example. This will keep your money safe and earning interest. VIRGO — You hardly even believe in love, much less love at first sight, Virgo, but something that occurs today may turn you into a believer. You never know when it will happen. You could be in line at the grocery store when someone catches your eye (and heart). Perhaps someone with whom you’ve only had a phone relationship suddenly shows up at Monday, November 16,lies 2015 your office. Adventure ahead. LIBRA — It’s likely a hidden

talent of yours is revealed today, Libra. All those scraps of writing could turn into something more concrete, such as a novel. Maybe you begin to dabble with your children’s paint set and realize how much you enjoy the creative process. Be open to all possibilities. You may find your life takes a different, more authentic direction. SCORPIO — You will feel especially close to family and friends today, Scorpio. There’s a lot of positive energy in the air, and people feel optimistic and congenial. It’s a pleasure to be with your loved ones, and interactions with strangers have a lovely flavor as well. Take advantage of the warm astral energy and plan a gettogether with your favorite people. You will enjoy growing closer. SAGITTARIUS — You’re likely feeling confident, optimistic, and enthusiastic today, Sagittarius. You feel as though anything is possible, and indeed it is. If you feel a bit of wanderlust and are anxious to explore new places and meet new people, you may soon receive the chance. Life is one great big adventure. You’re fortunate to have the sort of spirit that embraces it fully. CAPRICORN — You have a wonderful combination of optimism and spirituality, Capricorn. You believe in miracles as well as angels, Santa Claus, and the Tooth Fairy. We support your attitude wholeheartedly! Today something may happen that only further solidifies your beliefs. Perhaps your guardian angel saves you from stepping in front of a bus, or you receive a telepathic message that stops you from making a bad career mistake. AQUARIUS — Don’t be afraid to ask for help today, Aquarius. It may be that your friends and family help you with a task or you discover a mechanized solution that does the job for you. Technology can be a wonderful thing. Don’t let any aversion to it stop you from incorporating it into your daily life. You will find that once you embrace innovation, it improves your quality of life dramatically. PISCES — You can expect your love life to take a dramatic turn for the better, Pisces. This may be because you feel more self-confident than you have in a long time. In addition, you feel great and look even better. It’s no wonder your romantic partner is reacting to you in such a powerful, positive way. Make the most of this opportunity by spending some quality time together.

Thought for Today

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.
