Supes approve largest cannabis grow in Santa Rita Hills By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

The largest proposed cannabis operation in the Santa Rita Hills was granted de novo approval by the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday. In a 4-1 vote, Supervisors approved an 86-acre cannabis operation along Hapgood Road in the Santa Ynez Valley near neighboring Gainey Vineyard and Melville Winery. The project includes about 81 acres of outdoor cultivation and four acres of

nursery cultivation, with no onsite processing. The Board’s stamp of approval comes after a nearly two year battle on the part of SFS Farms, who initially proposed the project in July 2019. The project was originally approved by the county Planning & Development department in September 2020, but has since been appealed twice by Chad Melville, Ron Melville and Dan Gainey, who are owners of the neighboring estates. In February, the project passed through its first appeal process

More police coming downtown Santa Barbara Police Department announces more State Street patrols By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

There will now be an increased police presence in the downtown corridor of Santa Barbara and the State Street Promenade, effective immediately. The Santa Barbara Police Department announced on Tuesday that with businesses reopening and COVID restrictions lifting, it will assign additional officers directly to these downtown areas on an indefinite basis. The officers will be assigned to foot, bicycle and/ or motorcycle patrol. They will be patrolling on duty seven days a week, between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. Sunday through Tuesday and from 10 a.m. to 3 a.m. Wednesday through Saturday. Evening officers will have the primary responsibility of handling nightlife issues that

may stem from the reopening of many bars, nightclubs and restaurants. “Public safety is our number one goal, we want everyone to enjoy downtown and the Promenade, now that most pandemic restrictions have been lifted and a sense of normalcy is returning to our community,” the department said in a press release. Business owners in the 500 block and beyond had been sounding the alarm for more of a police presence in the area, mainly due to concerns of homeless individuals committing crimes, along with the general increase in crime as nightlife establishments reopen. However, Interim Police Chief Bernard Melekian told the NewsPress that transforming the department’s patrols had been a priority long before reopening

with the county’s Planning Commission, where officials denied the appeal and granted de novo approval after a hearing. This led the Melvilles and Mr. Gainey to file a second appeal, which went before the board of Supervisors on Tuesday. During Tuesday’s hearing, representatives from SFS Farms and both the wineries presented their positions to Supervisors. Officials from both the county’s Planning & Development department and SFS Farms responded to the concerns

outlined in the appeal filed by the Melvilles and Mr. Gainey during the hearing. One of the appellants’ primary concerns centered on the proximity of the proposed cannabis operation to the existing vineyards. With the cannabis operations taking place about 80 feet away, the vineyard owners raised concerns about the potential odor, pesticide drift and terpene taint that would come from the cultivation. Speaking on behalf of the appellants, Kurt Ammann, the

general manager of Melville Winery, said approval of this project would be “irresponsible” and would have a significant impact on the experience of visitors in the winery’s tasting room. “We conduct several hundred tastings each week outside,” Mr. Ammann told Supervisors. “Customers are evaluating the wine’s aroma, taste and texture. The odor is going to negatively impact those tastings. If those negatively impact our sales — without direct-to-consumer

business, Melville Winery will not be financially viable.” Mr. Ammann added that the direction of the wind will not only cause odor near his tasting room, but all the way into Solvang and Buellton as well. In addition to concerns over odor, pesticide migration and terpene taint, vineyard owners claimed in their appeal that the project should not be approved based on the “overconcentration” of cannabis in the Santa Rita Hills, non-compliance with the Please see SUPES on A2

Business owners on State Street and around the city will not have to remove or change their outdoor dining parklets — for now. Going against part of the staff recommendation, the Santa Barbara City Council agreed that the parklets downtown shouldn’t have to conform to the aesthetic

guidelines developed by members of the Historic Landmarks Commission and Santa Barbara Chapter of the American Institutes of Architects. “It is a time downtown where the level of activity and the number of people walking on the street far exceeds anything I’ve ever seen in my history of Santa Barbara,” Councilman Mike Jordan said. “...What’s drawing people downtown and engaging them is something

Ceremony to honor those who died of COVID-19 set for Saturday By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

COURTESY PHOTO

Dr. Van Do-Reynoso, the director of the county Public Health Department, provided the Board of Supervisors with a COVID19 update during their regular meeting Tuesday.

To remember the 455 individuals who died from COVID-19 in Santa Barbara County, various faith-based and community groups will gather in Solvang Park for a “Infinity Healing Ceremony” on Saturday. The ceremony will begin at noon and feature reflections and blessings from various religious communities across Santa Barbara County, including St. Mark’s in the Valley Episcopal Community and the Santa Ynez Valley Jewish Community. Members of the Band of Chumash Natives will also be at the event to present a Blessing of the Land Ceremony. The event is organized by the Santa Maria — Lompoc NAACP, Healing Justice SB, Latinx and Indigenous Migrant COVID-19 Response Task Force, Corazón del Pueblo and UCSB Health Equity Initiatives. Dr. Van Do-Reynoso, the director of the county’s Public Health Department, told Supervisors about the event during their regular meeting Tuesday. She also provided an update on the county’s

current COVID-19 metrics. As of Tuesday, the county’s adjusted case rate stood at one per 100,000, and the testing positivity rate was 0.7%. According to data from the Public Health Department, eight new cases of COVID-19 were recorded on Tuesday. Five cases were reported in Santa Maria, and one case was reported in the Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Barbara and the south county unincorporated areas of Summerland, Carpinteria and Montecito. Dr. Do-Reynoso also provided Supervisors with an update on the vaccine rollout in the county. As of Tuesday, 57.4% of the county’s eligible 12 and older population is fully vaccinated, 66.3% have received at least one shot. While demand for vaccines has diminished significantly across the county, Dr. Do-Reynoso reported that the department saw an uptick in the number of people receiving their first dose at a mobile vaccination clinic last week. She hopes this will continue. “I am encouraged that during week 10 (of our mobile clinics), we are seeing an uptick in the number of people wanting

the first dose and really hopeful that together with our community orgs doing outreach that the trend in first doses will continue to increase,” Dr. Do-Reynoso told Supervisors. In addition to these updates, it was also announced that the Board of Supervisors’ July 13 meeting would be open for in-person attendance from the public. In-person attendees from the public will be asked to self-attest their vaccination status, and those who are fully vaccinated will not be required to wear masks. On Tuesday, the public health department also launched its “Take Your Shot” public service campaign, which encourages all eligible residents to get the COVID-19 vaccine. The campaign features video testimonials from physicians, journalists and residents sharing why they decided to get the COVID-19 vaccine. “Getting your COVID-19 vaccine- it’s not just about you,” Dr. Alicia Gonzalez, the medical director for emergency medicine at Marian Regional Medical Center, said in a statement. “It’s about protecting the people that you love — your family and your friends. It’s about

getting our communities back to normal.” The new campaign comes as the U.S. eyes the emergence of the delta variant, a new COVID-19 variant that now makes up about 20% of all new cases in the U.S., according to Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and chief White House medical advisor. “Similar to the situation in the U.K., the delta variant is currently the greatest threat in the U.S. to our attempt to eliminate COVID-19,” he said during White House press conference Tuesday. According to data from the county’s Public Health Department, the delta variant has been detected in very few samples of COVID-19 tests monitored under the county’s variant tracking efforts. According to the data, only two tests contained the delta variant, both of which were included in an April 25 sampling.

TRAFFIC, CRIME AND FIRE BLOTTER Patient in critical condition following ATV accident GOLETA — One patient was transported to Cottage Hospital in critical condition after an ATV accident in the 700 block of Glen Annie Road in Goleta. At about 12:14 p.m. Tuesday, Santa Barbara County Fire responded to reports of an ATV accident with an engine and a truck company with USAR capabilities. The ATV had fallen vertically approximately 30 feet down into a creek bed. There were two victims in the incident — one sustained minor injuries and the other had to be extracted from the creekbed using a high angle rope system. The condition of the critical patient is unknown at this time, and

the situation is under investigation, according to County Fire spokesperson Daniel Bertucelli. — Grayce McCormick

One dead in motorcycle/ vehicle crash LOMPOC VALLEY — A male reported to be in his 20s died in a motorcycle versus vehicle crash in the Lompoc Valley area Tuesday afternoon. At approximately 2:49 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, Santa Barbara County Fire responded to reports of a motorcyclist versus vehicle accident in the Lompoc Valley area of Purisima and Mission Gate Roads. County Fire responded with an engine company, an ambulance and an air ambulance.

One patient was reported on the ground with major injuries, and was later declared dead on scene. He was described as a male in his 20s. Road closures were implemented on Highway 246 as a result of the incident. There is an ongoing investigation into the incident, according to County Fire spokesperson Daniel Bertucelli. — Grayce McCormick

Motorcyclist dead after falling over the side of Highway 154 SANTA BARBARA — A single motorcycle rider in his 60s died after falling 100 feet over the side of Highway 154 at Paradise Road Tues-

day evening. At approximately 5:42 p.m., Santa Barbara County Fire responded to reports of a motorcyclist down on Highway 154 eastbound in the area of Paradise Road. County Fire responded with two engine companies and an air ambulance, and received assistance from Los Padres National Forest firefighters who were in the area. A single motorcyclist in his 60s was unable to navigate a turn, and ended up going over the south side of the highway, according to County Fire spokesperson Daniel Bertucelli. When firefighters first arrived on scene, the occupant was still alive. But as he was being extricated by a low angle rope system, he died on the scene. The cause is under investigation by law enforcement, and there were traffic restrictions in the area.

Operation survived multiple appeals prior to approval supes

Continued from Page A1 state’s Williamson Act and non-compliance with portions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Staff from the Planning & Development department refuted these claims during Tuesday’s hearings, citing evidence that the project did indeed align with all state and county guidelines. In response to the appellant’s claims, SFS Farms representatives told Supervisors they were willing to work with the neighboring wineries to determine a solution that would mitigate the potential spread of pesticides and terpenes. Representatives added there is currently no substantial, academic evidence that links cannabis terpenes to wine taint. “SFS (Farms) is a good neighbor in the valley,” Larry Conlan, a partner with Capello & Nöel LLC, said on behalf of SFS Farms Tuesday. “It’s a heritage agricultural operation. This is the type of project that allows legacy farm operations to continue in Santa Ynez. There will be ongoing cattle operations on the property, there will be ongoing other agricultural produce type operations. This is going to offset some of the costs of continuing with those types of projects.” “SFS has been willing since day one to work with all of its neighbors,” he added. After lengthy deliberations during the hearing, SFS Farms agreed to extend the set-back distance of cannabis cultivation and to add landscaping around the eastern property line to diminish

possible terpene and pesticide spread. Four supervisors voted to approve the project after SFS Farms amended the proposal to create a set-back distance of 150-feet and add landscaping around the perimeter of the property that is closest to Gainey Vineyard. Yet, even with these updates to the project, Supervisor Joan Hartmann, whose district contains the Santa Rita Hills, voted against the proposal. In her remarks, she cited concerns over the large number of projects already underway in the Santa Ynez Valley. “I’m very concerned about the concentration of cannabis in the Santa Rita Hills,” Ms. Hartmann said Tuesday. “And 86 acres is the largest grow that has come before us — it’s 65 football fields. That’s really massive.” She added that the county’s cannabis ordinance as it currently stands “straightjackets” the board into approving large grows and limits mitigation power. “We’re stuck having to approve a gargantuan grow with outsized impacts and no mitigations for serious harms and no ability to do anything in the future,” Ms. Hartmann said. “So for myself, I really can’t vote for this project because of the cumulative impact in the Santa Rita Hills and in the Santa Ynez Valley.” With approval from the Board of Supervisors in hand, SFS Farms can now apply for a business license with the county and additional licensing from the state. Once these steps are complete, they will be approved to begin cultivation operations in the Santa Rita Hills. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

Santa Maria Area Transit announced Tuesday that beginning July 1, the local transit system will resume the collection of fares and incrementally begin to return to full transit service. The full return comes after 18 months of a farefree and limited service due to the COVID-19 health crisis. This initial reopening is the first of two phases. The first phase includes the restoration of twice-hourly service to SMAT Routes 2 and 3 (SMAT’s most popular routes) and an additional trip that will be added to every route for earlier start times across the entire system. In addition to this reopening phase, SMAT will be extending Route 8 service to the Crossroads Shopping Center on South Bradley Road. Recommended in the 2020 Short Range Transit Plan, the Crossroads Shopping Center is a key destination for western Santa Maria and Tanglewood residents, but it is currently served only by Route 7 and requires a transfer for many riders. “The extension of Route 8 will provide riders a single-seat trip to the popular shopping center,”

Gamaliel Anguiano, Transit Services Manager for the City of Santa Maria, said in a press release. “We are excited to be able to provide this improved access as we responsibly restore SMAT’s pre-pandemic routes and schedules.” The implementation of the second phase of the return to full service is scheduled for Aug. 8. SMAT will continue to follow established COVID19 safety measures throughout the reopening phases to protect riders and drivers, including nightly bus disinfecting on all high-touch surfaces such as door handles, stanchions, seat back handles, grab bars, fareboxes and driver areas. The Transportation Security Administration still requires individuals, regardless of vaccination status, to wear a mask while using all modes of public transportation. Following the president’s executive order and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s emergency order, the mask requirement on SMAT will remain in effect until Sept. 13. Mr. Anguiano encouraged riders to visit www. rideSMAT.com to view published schedules for individual route start times and to learn more about SMAT and its services.

efforts began. “I think that in this case, the three biggest patrolling challenges facing us are — in no particular order — the issue of safety and security on State Street, homeless encampments in the parks and in high fire areas and neighborhood traffic concerns,” the chief said. “So, we’re trying to address all three of those by moving people around.” He added, though, that department staff is down 24%, presenting challenges in moving officers around. The chief said the number of officers patrolling will vary depending on the time of day and the level of activity, but with additional patrols, combined with the city’s ambassadors and the police department’s VIP program, this should “significantly increase our presence in the downtown corridor.” He told the News-Press last week that he agrees that the nightlife on State Street is becoming an issue as businesses reopen and people return to dining and drinking at night. The chief said that the police department has been getting many requests for service in recent weeks, based on listening to the radio and monitoring the call board. Many of the business owners in the 500 block told the News-Press they wanted an additional police presence to keep their customers and employees safe, and hoped for long-term solutions for the homeless population in the area as well. “I want people to know that this issue of pivoting to … a specificproblem oriented approach, means that as the nature of the problems change, the nature of the police department’s attention and resources will change,” Chief Melekian said. “We’re not going to be able to do all things for everybody, but we are going to address the issues that are put in front of us.”

The Santa Barbara City Council decided on Tuesday that any decisions made on the design of parklets should be made by the still-forming State Street Advisory Committee.

Parklet design changes left up to State Street Advisory Committee COUNCIL

Continued from Page A1 patio furniture and add plantings to screen enclosures, among other things. “It’s really remarkable what our local business has been able to accomplish this past year, not only just on State Street, but on our side streets as well, and our restaurants and our retail,” Councilwoman Meagan Harmon said. “...The only way to dampen that energy with certainty, the only way to diminish the excitement that we’ve generated, the only way to do that is to layer interim guideline on top of interim regulation on top of interim guideline without any clear path forward, and that’s what it feels like, at least in connection with the aesthetic guidelines we’re trying to do here today.” The council decided that any decisions made on the design of parklets should be made by the still-forming State Street Advisory Committee. In addition, they said business owners shouldn’t be required to change their current parklets until the Emergency Economic Recovery Ordinance expires in March of 2022. However, members were united in recommending the business owners remove operations from the sidewalks, in order to create accessibility for all members of the community. Speakers during public comment expressed their frustration with the current state of accessibility on State Street, especially for individuals in wheelchairs or the visually impaired. Matt Lowe shared during public comment that he himself is visually impaired, and some parts of State Street require walking in single file lines. “These tables in front of restaurants — I can’t tell you how many times I’ve walked into them, whether it’s a sign or a person or a table. It’s very frustrating,” he said. “...Is there ever

going to be enforcement or fines for people that block the sidewalk? ...I’d really like to enjoy downtown and not feel like I have to trudge through it and struggle, because it’s tiring, and I would like to enjoy life.” Mr. Lowe’s and others’ comments about the need for additional accessibility, and what they described as the current lack thereof, was met with support from the whole council to clear the sidewalks, and have staff return with a detailed report on how they will address accessibility needs of the downtown core, including ramps onto the sidewalks and other access issues. It’s worth noting that not all businesses have to clear the sidewalks — they must comply with pre-pandemic regulations on dining on sidewalks, which were ADA compliant. Finally, the council requested that staff double check the width down the center of State Street to ensure it complies with emergency vehicle requirements. In other business, in a split vote, the council did not move a proposal forward that would have increased the city’s inclusionary requirement outside the Central Business District to meet affordable housing needs. The proposal was to require 15% of all units to be restricted to moderate-income households as opposed to the current 10% requirement. Council members held off on voting last week, due to a split three to three vote. Councilwoman Meagan Harmon was present at the meeting this time to share her thoughts on it, and although she voted in favor of raising the inclusionary requirement, the majority still preferred to wait until September or October when an economic feasibility analysis is done. Ms. Harmon agreed with Councilwoman Kristen Sneddon’s desire to not wait any longer and move the increase forward. “I am a strong proponent of inclusionary housing — always have been, always will be,” Ms. Harmon said. “I believe that we should work as hard as possible as fast as possible to get that percentage up as high as we can

possibly get it … My job as a city official in setting the housing policy is to make sure that our residents get the benefit of whatever bargain we strike through these housing policies.” Ms. Harmon and Ms. Sneddon, along with Mayor Pro Tempore Oscar Gutierrez, voted in favor of establishing the 15% inclusionary requirement, but Mayor Cathy Murillo, Councilwoman Alejandra Gutierrez and Councilmen Eric Friedman and Mike Jordan all voted to wait. Mayor Murillo said that she believes “having more information later is better,” and said that the council will be “smarter later on this.” The council was unanimous in adopting the Fiscal Year 2022 Operating and Capital Budget on Tuesday. Staff reported that the FY 2022 budget revenue is $166.2 million and expenditures are at $167.5 million, but come alongside a recommended budget surplus (considering operating deficit and use of reserves) of $1.3 million. “I think when you chat with people who do this for a living, people who run city or municipal operations, and in particular, financial planning, they have said these have been two of the most difficult years that they can remember in the history of their lives,” Mr. Jordan said. He proceeded to give kudos to the financial department, and said, “It weighs heavily on everybody to have to make some decisions in bad times…” Mayor Murillo echoed praises of the staff, saying, “The decrease in sales tax and bed tax was very hard on us, hard on our residents and hard on our businesses, and it feels good to adopt this budget today knowing that we are coming into a clearing of sorts and things are only getting better from here.” See Thursday’s News-Press for a followup on the appeal of the 21-unit, mixed-use development at 825 De La Vina St. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Balfour’s Kitchen B

Company’s goal is gourmet wellness and social change

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

alfour’s Kitchen, a socially and environmentally conscious meal delivery program fostering wellness and social change, has begun outreach to focus group professionals, medical centers and nonprofit distribution organizations in Santa Barbara with deliveries of prepared gourmet, plant-based meals at no cost as part of its upcoming community give-back program. Since November 2020, the forprofit corporation has donated more than 1,000 meals to Sarah House and the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission. For every unit of the convenient, ready-toheat, single-serving soups and veggie bowls sold, another unit is donated to a person or family who is food insecure, hungry or in need of healthy medicinal nutrition. “Our core belief is that the private sector should contribute socially to the communities in which they operate,” said Danny Burgner, founder and owner of Balfour’s Kitchen, during a phone interview from his home in Ballard. “Our objective is to uphold our commitment to shareholders while simultaneously addressing the urgent issues of healthrelated food needs, as well as food scarcity,” he told the NewsPress. Mr. Burgner said the inspiration for Balfour’s Kitchen came about while attending an event for the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County highlighting the plight of school kids during summer months when free meal programs are not available. “It was at McKinley School, and (Montecito) actor Jeff Bridges talked about the No Kid Hungry organization. I was completely unaware of the problem. I was stunned. How could I be so ignorant? And how could this happen in a place like Santa Barbara?” said Mr. Burgner. “I decided the next chapter of my life would be providing foodrelated services for people in need. “I’m also a big believer that free enterprise should support social needs in the community, and our research showed that people are willing to spend more if there is a social cause behind the product.” As CEO of Destination Media, Mr. Burgner felt his decades of entrepreneurial experience made him particularly adept at addressing the often overlooked issues of food scarcity and food insecurity within an affluent community. “The recent pandemic gave me time on my hands to focus on the hunger crisis that affects one in five people across the nation, starting with my own community,” he said. The company is currently conducting focus group studies in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties as it finalizes Balfour’s Kitchen products, which will be sold online through its website later this year. Menu items include Green and Clean Soup with Chard, Parsley and Collards; Sweet Potato and Spinach Quinoa Bowl with Basil Mint Pesto, Cauliflower Shakshuka, Thai Veggie Quinoa, Cajun Carrot and Zucchini, Chia Berry Bowl and Broccoli Nut Pilaf, among others. Prices will range between $5 and $10 per item. “Many dishes come with pairing suggestions for easy customized options such as high calorie and high protein or Keto diets,” said Mr. Burgner. “Chef Irina Skoeries has a reputation for healthy and delicious dishes as a private chef. Her own experience of living with rheumatoid arthritis led her to realize the life-changing benefits of an anti-inflammatory diet. She considers food as medicine, with each bite providing the highest nutritional value possible.” Balfour’s Kitchen commitment to environmentally sound

“The recent pandemic gave me time on my hands to focus on the hunger crisis that affects one in five people across the nation, starting with my own community,” said Danny Burgner, founder and owner of Balfour’s Kitchen, a for-profit corporation that has donated more than 1,000 meals to Sarah House and the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission since November. He is shown here with healthy immunity boosting bowls ready for delivery to focus groups before they are available online later this year.

At left, Danny Burgner describes this dish as a “new, New World version of shakshuka, a historic dish that dates back to the Ottoman empire and continues to nourish and delight, combines the goodness of cauliflower and butternut squash simmered slowly in a rich tomato base with the sweetness of caramelized onion, herbs and a hint of spicy heat.” Center, “The delicious, pudding-like treat delivers plenty of protein, iron, calcium, and 100% of the daily omega-3 requirement,” Mr. Burgner said. At right, “Lentils seasoned with whole cumin seeds, fresh black pepper and a hint of cayenne are balanced with the brightness of pure lemon juice for a satisfying flavor package that warms the body like a dose of golden sunshine,” Mr. Burgner said.

At left, Danny Burgner discussed this Asian stir fry bowl: “This duo of quinoa and vegetables delivers serious nutrition and evokes the humming streets of Bangkok in a single bite.” At right, “This smooth, blended bowl of belly-warming goodness starts with onions caramelized with a load of golden carrots turned into Moroccan magic with the addition of spices like coriander, cumin, cinnamon and curry,” according to Mr. Burgner.

SB Humane helps neglected dog The signs of neglect were clear when a community member found Ziggy, a small, severely matted and filthy dog, at 4 a.m. in his driveway. Zigg was in obvious pain. His matted hair was impeding his movement, he smelled, and there was a piece of old twine wrapped around his snout. The string had been there so long that it was partially embedded in his skin. His face was raw and irritated. The community member took the lhasa apso mix to Santa Barbara Humane’s Santa Maria campus, where Ziggy received medical treatment, a bath, grooming — and a good dose of tender loving care. Ziggy’s now feeling and looking better. The sweet dog, who’s estimated to be 7 years old, weighs 10 pounds. Because Ziggy was a stray, he had to wait 72 hours for someone to claim him. No one did, and Ziggy is on the road to adoption. He needs treatment for anemia because of a prior flea infestation,

Diversions horoscope • puzzles

By Dave Green

1 2 4 7

ARIES — Keep your cool if something goes wrong today, Aries. Don’t be so impatient about fixing a problem that you end up doing something rash. You may do more damage than you would if you just let things sit for a couple days. Mull over the situation, talk it out with others, and approach the issue at another time with a different frame of mind. TAURUS — Play the lottery today, Taurus. The concept for you is profit with no effort. The windfall will come when you least expect it. The less you try to shape things, the more they will generally flow in your favor. Enjoy the day and don’t sweat the details. Things will work themselves out. People may be quite emotionally charged, but don’t let their behavior throw you off balance. GEMINI — If you meet someone new today, Gemini, break him or her in gradually. Don’t spill all the beans at once. Let the person warm up to your intense emotional nature before you unleash it full force. People are going to need their space, so make sure you allow enough room for emotional and physical freedom. Think about taking a long trip or short vacation of some sort. CANCER — Spare no emotional or monetary expense today, Cancer. Whatever you put into this day will come back to you tenfold. Feel free to indulge and delight in your fun-loving nature. This day speaks of freedom from restraint of all kinds. Break the chains and explore new worlds in your mind and your physical surroundings. Don’t say no when the adventure bus comes around to pick you up. LEO — Today isn’t a day to stay inside and sulk, Leo. Put the past behind you and move on. Grab opportunities with both hands and rev your engine into high gear. Stop looking at what lies behind and focus on the wideopen horizon in front of you. This is an excellent day to turn up the heat and start brewing some new adventures. Transform your life into an action movie with you as the star. VIRGO — Get your favorite music out of the closet today, Virgo. Have a dance party in your living room and liven things up with some freshly cut flowers on your table. This is a great day to direct your energies outward into the world. Go on a radical adventure that you didn’t think was possible. Plow headfirst Monday, November 16, 2015into new projects and let your good

luck carry you through. Don’t worry about the details. LIBRA — It may be extremely hard for you to make decisions about anything today, Libra. Don’t stress about work or the things you need to get done. With today’s aspects, it’s a day that shouldn’t be filled with sour energy from the past. You experience a rebirth every time you wake up in the morning. Venture forth into new adventures! SCORPIO — Today should run quite smoothly for you, Scorpio. You will find that there’s a great deal of power fueling your emotions and that you’re able to take that power to the extreme. Use your strong, dynamic nature to win the hearts of others. Lead the charge toward good-natured fun. You will be laid-back, easygoing, and adventurous. Take a long-distance trip in your mind. SAGITTARIUS — Don’t get upset if people don’t take you quite as seriously as you’d like today, Sagittarius. It’s in the nature of the day to keep things light and uplifting. Come out of the intensity of the last couple days and laugh out loud. Don’t stress over things you don’t understand. Go with the flow and keep smiling. You can’t go wrong as long as you join in the good cheer and merriment of the day. CAPRICORN — You might find that something or someone is purposefully trying to make things difficult for you today, Capricorn. It might seem like you’re trying to get a handle on the issues, but somehow things are slipping through your fingers. Don’t make any major decisions, and certainly don’t try to herd people into corners. Let others have their freedom and consider simply riding out the storm. AQUARIUS — Lay low today, Aquarius. Don’t try to force any answers from people. Eat a healthy breakfast and stay away from caffeine. Relate to people on an intellectual or philosophical level and discuss the meaning of life. If you’re looking for sympathy, you may need to wait a couple days. People aren’t in the mood. They just want to be left alone. PISCES — Inspire others to come out of their shells today, Pisces. Have them join you on the sunny side of the street. Share your cheer with other people and lead them into boisterous discussions about the world. You will be on cloud nine, with a great deal of strength behind your happy-go-lucky emotions. Keep things light and don’t worry about tomorrow until it comes.

CODEWORD PUZZLE

SUDOKU

Thought for Today

Codeword is a fun game with simple rules, and a great way to test your knowledge of the English language. 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.

PUBLIC NOTICES NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY

Department of the Air Force, Department of Defense. ACTION: Notice of Availability. SUMMARY: Air Force announces availability of Final environmental study on Ground Based Strategic Deterrent ICBM recapitalization Test Program

The Department of the Air Force announces the availability of the Final Environmental Assessment/ Overseas Environmental Assessment for the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent Test Program and the program’s Mitigated Finding of No Significant Impact. The analysis can be found at http://gbsdtesteaoea.govsupport.us The GBSD program would modernize the aging U.S. land-based intercontinental ballistic missile Minuteman III system. The Air Force plans to modernize the land-based leg of the nuclear triad, recapitalizing its ICBM fleet while upgrading the weapon system technology, supporting infrastructure, and command and control functions. Test program-related actions would occur primarily at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, and at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California. Such tests would include conducting missile launches from Vandenberg Space Force Base with flights over the Pacific Ocean in the Western Test Range. Additional test support activities would occur at U.S. Army Dugway Proving Ground, Utah. The environmental assessment also includes analysis of the proposed GBSD Formal Training Unit/ Schoolhouse at Vandenberg Space Force Base. The GBSD and Minuteman III test demonstrations are proposed to occur at U.S. Army Garrison–Kwajalein Atoll and within the Republic of the Marshall Islands territorial waters. The analysis of overseas environmental impacts is also included in the assessment. Test activities would comply with the U.S. Army Kwajalein Atoll environmental standards.

This meeting will be held remotely via Zoom meetings (Meeting ID 837 2564 9720) pursuant to the State of California Executive Order No. N-29-20 issued on March 17, 2020. Information for joining the meeting will be posted at the District office 72 hours prior to the meeting time at 1042 Monte Cristo Lane, Santa Barbara, and on the District’s website at www.montsan.org/meetings.
