Red Rose Inn to house homeless Hotel master lease approved for homeless shelter to reduce wildfire risk By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A temporary homeless shelter will be provided at the Red Rose Inn on Upper State Street to remove individuals from fire-prone areas and clean them up to reduce wildfire risk. The Santa Barbara City Council unanimously approved City Net’s master lease with the inn on Tuesday, and directed staff to use up the one-time Socioeconomic Mitigation Program reserve funds and Permanent Local Housing Allocation funds for the $1.6 million price tag. “This is a human crisis,” Councilwoman Kristen Sneddon said. “Everything we’re putting forward today dovetails into (the city’s) strategic plan.” She addressed emails she’s received about this issue that have taken concerns with the cost per room of the shelter, specifically pointing out that it will cost thousands per guest. Ms. Sneddon said the reason the cost is so high is because of the wraparound services, and that the rooms themselves only cost $100 to $200. “It’s the services that will make an actual long-term, impactful difference in transforming people’s lives and in transforming our lives as a community,” she said. “So it is expensive. It is transformative, and you don’t get transformative without funding.” The services that will be offered to the homeless individuals at the Red Rose Inn will include things such as housingfocused case management services, family reunification, self-resolution of homelessness and referrals to local resources for food, medical care, legal assistance and more. Councilman Eric Friedman spoke to the importance of avoiding any wildfires in the city, and that this solution reduces the risk while also providing a way to learn if this is a good solution for the rest of the homeless population. “If we were to have another fire or a devastating fire in the city, it would have a whole host of consequences — one, the loss of life, including those who live in the encampments, but also those in the neighborhoods, the loss of property,” he said. “And to have another disaster in our town could really affect the livelihoods of our businesses and the community we love…We have an opportunity here, now, to really see how this works and see how effective it is.” Many public commenters supported the measure, while others pointed out other areas that they hope can be addressed other than just the high-fire prone areas. Some questioned what determines a highfire prone area from a not high-fire prone area.

Ben Romo, who said he lives near Red Rose Inn, spoke up during public comment that he supports the measure, but wished more action occurred sooner. “I can’t really help but see that this council is being prompted to take this drastic action because the issue of homelessness had a spillover effect on residents who are housed,” he said. “I just wish that the human tragedy we see every day prompted this same level of angst, interest, responsiveness and investment by council members … Why aren’t we moving Please see COUNCIL on A4

House expected to pass INVEST in America Act this week Carbajal secures $20 million for Central Coast projects

Though Los Angeles County is now recommending that even fully vaccinated people wear masks indoors, masking guidance in Santa Barbara County is likely to remain the same, local health officials say. LA County’s shifting mask guidance came Monday after the county’s Public Health Department reported an uptick in COVID-19 cases associated with the Delta variant. While health officials did not institute a new mandate, officials are highly recommending that all people wear masks indoors regardless of vaccination status. The Delta strain, which originally surfaced in India, has become the dominant variant circulating in the United States in recent weeks. Health officials report that the Delta variant is potentially twice as infectious as Please see MASKS on A5

Assistance League awards 49 scholarships By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Assistance League of Santa Barbara awarded 49 student scholarships this year through its collaboration with Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara and the Santa Barbara City College Foundation Promise Program. Since 2013, the Assistance League has awarded $150,000 in scholarships to students throughout Santa Barbara County. The league awarded $3,500 each to those qualified students who will attend — or are already attending — a four-year college, and whose family incomes are just above the cutoff for federal financial aid programs. This is the group that is most underserved by other scholarship funds and grants, the league said in a press release. Recipients can re-apply for each of their four years of college if they qualify, and Assistance League provided 10 such scholarships to four recent high school graduates and six returning scholars. The four new recipients are from Dos Pueblos, Lompoc, Carpinteria and Righetti high schools, and they will be attending UCSB, UCLA, Humboldt State and the University of Maine. The six renewal recipients are in their second, third and fourth year in college and are attending UC Berkeley, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Columbia University and UC San Diego. Assistance League also awarded scholarships to 39 students in the Santa Barbara City College Foundation Promise Program who are going into the trade or technical fields. The support covered supplies, books and fees to students studying in the fields of early child education,

SANTA BARBARA — A federal grand jury indicted Darrell Arnold Aviss, 63, of Santa Barbara with five counts of wire fraud and five counts of laundering criminal proceeds and one count of concealment money laundering Tuesday. He allegedly stole approximately $12 million from people who thought their money was being used to purchase annuities from Swiss insurance companies. According to the indictment, he advertised secure annuities and, in some instances, promised interest rates of 5-7%. He ran the scheme from at least 2012 through

2020. He allegedly sent victims statements of the annuities’ value increasing over time. He accrued more than $12 million, allegedly paying victims a portion back to keep their trust. Most victims were over the age of 60, and one victim paid the majority of the money received. Court documents allege the money did not go toward annuities but instead funded mortgage payments, luxury car leases, expensive watches, trips to Monaco, more than $100,000 in purchases at a Santa Barbara nightclub and 20 tickets to a U2 concert and afterparty. He was arrested June 18 and is scheduled to be arraigned July 9. Each of his five counts of wire fraud carries a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years

SB City Council gets update on water supply COUNCIL

Continued from Page A1 mountains for them as they’re suffering right before our eyes every single day?” In other business, the council received a water supply update for the city. Although the city falls under what is considered extreme drought conditions, the outlook of water supply was optimistic. City staff reported consistent production of desalinated water that has allowed Lake Cachuma to have a strong reserve — 57% capacity at nearly 24,000 acre-feet. Staff said this puts the city in a good place, despite the empty Gibraltar Reservoir, low groundwater levels and only 5% of a share of the State Water Project. “If we were to go into drought right now — which

it looks like for the next five years — we would be OK, and that is an astonishing place to be in,” Ms. Sneddon said. “This plan looks over a 30-year horizon, and it’s unheard of that we could be having the water security that we have with this diversified portfolio.” The City Council commended the work of staff for outreach and the work of the community for conservation. “It’s not even a conservation effort,” Mayor Cathy Murillo said. “It’s a conservation lifestyle. People just don’t waste water like they used to … Every school child in California learns about water and how to be careful with water.” The City Council also tackled appointments to city advisory groups and State Street Advisory Committee applicant interviews on Tuesday. email: gmcccormick@newspress.com

No active Delta variant cases in county 05",)# ./4)#%3

MASKS

Continued from Page A1 other strains of the virus and poses a risk to the nation’s unvaccinated population. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the vaccines widely available in the United States offer adequate protection against the new variant. Currently, those who are fully vaccinated have protection from serious illness, hospitalization and death associated with the Delta variant. Despite the masking updates in LA County, the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department will not be making any updates to its masking guidance at the current time. “Santa Barbara County does not currently have active Delta variant cases,” Dr. Henning Ansorg, the county public health officer, said in a statement to the News-Press. “There is no anticipated change in masking guidance at this time.” Throughout the pandemic, Santa Barbara County has consistently lagged a few weeks behind Los Angeles County in terms of outbreaks and variant trends, according to Dr. Lynn Fitzgibbons, an infectious disease specialist with Cottage Health. With this in mind, Dr. Fitzgibbons said the Delta variant will likely become the dominant strain in the county in the weeks to come. “The good news this week is that our case rates remain quite low and we don’t yet have a big increase in case rates or in Delta variant prevalence,” Dr. Fitzgibbons told the NewsPress. “But unfortunately, we know it is coming. We know that the Delta variant is very, very transmissible, very infectious and has already really taken over as the world’s most prevalent variant.” Dr. Fitzgibbons said she remains concerned

for the county’s unvaccinated population, particularly children who are not yet eligible for the vaccine. While summer camps are making a return and life is looking more normal for children, Dr. Fitzgibbons said it’s important to continue to follow the masking guidance, particularly for unvaccinated folks. In the coming weeks, Dr. Fitzgibbons said it is likely that the Delta strain will become much more prevalent across the county. “My best guess from an infectious disease perspective is that the Delta variant over the coming weeks will take over as the most common cause of COVID-19 in Santa Barbara County,” Dr. Fitzgibbons said. “It will (likely) disproportionately affect unvaccinated people as it has done throughout the world already and our case rates may unfortunately suffer.” She added, “Now is the time for anyone who is unvaccinated and eligible to take that first step towards getting fully vaccinated.” While the Delta variant has not been extensively reported in Santa Barbara County yet, Dr. Marjorie Newman, the medical director for Sansum Clinic, said the variant is likely present but has not been sequenced yet. With more people roaming the county maskless since June 15, Dr. Newman said it’s likely the county will see “pockets of outbreaks” in the county as the Delta variant becomes more prevalent among unvaccinated people. “I do think people still should be cautious,” Dr. Newman told the News-Press. “I’m fully vaccinated, but I will be hesitant to be in indoor settings without a mask at this point.” Dr. Newman noted that she’s seen an uptick in the county’s case count recently, which she said is likely coming as a result of more unvaccinated people ditching their masks in public settings. On Tuesday, the Santa Barbara County

BILL

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA ANACAPA DIVISION Case Number (Número del Caso) 21CV02432

Continued from Page A1 transportation systems nationwide. The legislation would fund infrastructure projects like rebuilding aging roads, bridges and rail lines and expanding access to passenger rail and public transit services. It would also address climate concerns by accelerating the shift to electric vehicles and outlines goals to reduce the nation’s fossil fuel consumption. The bill passed the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee earlier this month and is expected to succeed in the House later this week. The passage of this bill would also pave the way for $20 million to be allocated for Central Coast projects. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, sits on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and helped secure this funding. The funding would allocate $11 million for improvements to Highway 101 between Santa Barbara and Montecito and advancement to the Cabrillo Boulevard Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Project. It also sets aside $5 million in funding for the purchase of 11 battery-electric busses in San Luis Obispo and $4 million to build a multi-use path along State Route 1 in San Luis Obispo county. “The INVEST in America Act will create good paying American jobs that can’t be outsourced by building safe roads and bridges and making sure everyone has access to clean drinking water,” Rep. Carbajal said during a briefing with reporters Tuesday. The INVEST in America package gives legislative backing to the Biden administration’s American Jobs Plan, which aims to create millions of jobs nationwide through the rebuilding of critical infrastructure. While unemployment rates still remain above pre-pandemic levels according to the latest jobs report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, representatives are optimistic that the bill could help fuel recovery nationwide. “No doubt what this (bill) will do is continue to put resources into our economy and do that by adding jobs,” Rep. Carbajal said Tuesday. “So this is one of those multiplier effects that anytime you invest in our infrastructure and public works, it has a multiplier effect in lifting up our economy, helping our economy bounce back.” He continued, “The funding that will go to (the Central Coast) will continue to build on the American Rescue Plan that infused resources into our district to help those on unemployment, local governments, schools and hospitals. It really creates a synergy of economic investment in our community that, in doing so, will lift up our local economy.” If the bill passes in the House, it will then move to the floor of the Senate for approval before making its way to the president’s desk. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

Planning panel meeting canceled BUELLTON — The Buellton Planning Commission has canceled Thursday’s meeting because of a lack of business. Meetings are normally held on the first and third Thursdays of each month. — Dave Mason

All persons interested in the matter listed above and described below may contest the legality or validity of the matter by appearing and filing a written answer to the complaint not later than August 13, 2021. Persons who contest the legality or validity of the matter will not be subject to punitive action, such as wage garnishment or seizure of their real or personal property. Unless you respond timely, a default will be entered upon application by Plaintiffs, and Plaintiffs may apply to the Court for the relief demanded in the Complaint. You may seek the advice of an attorney in any matter connected with the complaint or this summons. Such attorney should be consulted promptly so that your pleading may be filed or entered within the time required by this summons. DETAILED SUMMARY OF THE MATTER THAT PLAINTIFFS SEEK TO INVALIDATE: Plaintiffs/Petitioners have filed their Petition for Writ of Mandamus and Complaint (“Complaint”), which seeks, among other things, a judicial decree, pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure section 860, et seq., determining that the following actions taken by the Santa Barbara County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (“District”) and the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors, acting in its capacity as the Board of Directors of the District (“Board of Directors”), are invalid and unenforceable. On April 20, 2021, the Board of Directors adopted Resolution No. 21-73: A Resolution to Approve Water Management Tools Amendment (Amendment 21) to State Water Project Water Supply Contract Subject to Certain Limitations to Maintain Local Water Supply (“Resolution No. 21-73”), which imposes significant conditions, limitations and restrictions on Plaintiffs’/Petitioners’ rights to the State Water Project (“SWP”) pursuant to the 1963 State Water Supply Contract (“SWP Contract”) between the District and the State of California’s Department of Water Resources (“DWR”). Resolution No. 21-73 declares that the District, in some cases, and the Board of Directors, in other cases, may unilaterally condition or reject certain transfers and exchanges of SWP water that otherwise would be permitted by the SWP Contract, as amended by the Water Management Amendment, by conditioning or withholding the District’s execution of any agreements required to implement such transfers and exchanges, notwithstanding Petitioners’/Plaintiffs’ approval of, and agreement to be bound by, any such transfer or exchange.

Farm workers pick strawberries with hoods over their heads, protecting them from the sun.

Farm workers face rising temperatures, limited regs By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

United Farm Workers, a farm worker advocacy organization, is asking the state of Washington to issue workplace regulations regarding heat — similar to the protections the organization helped establish in California. But even California’s farm workers have complaints. UFW’s push comes after a farm worker died while at work moving irrigation lines in Oregon. The fatality was listed with “heat” as the preliminary reason. The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health mandates that in temperatures at or above 95 degrees, employers must provide a minimum of 10minute rest breaks every two hours. CAl/OSHA also requires shade to be present when the temperature exceeds 80 degrees, and shade should still be available upon request otherwise. These laws do not exist in Washington, and some Santa Barbara County farms don’t follow all requirements, according to advocacy groups. Mid-May, a caravan drove through rural areas in Santa Barbara County to inform farm workers of their rights to COVID-19 leave and heat protections. Making a Cal/OSHA complaint is a long process, one that groups say favors farm owners, so workers can face dangerous conditions despite statewide laws. “Most inspections only happen after workers file formal complaints over violations, and then companies are notified

that a Cal/OSHA inspection is going to take place, giving them little incentive to ensure safe conditions in the first place,” Lucas Zucker, Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy policy and communications director, told the NewsPress. “The best way to protect the health and safety of farmworkers during heat waves is proactive inspections of drinking water and shade facilities in the fields,” he said. Workers can stray far from the shade as they harvest rows, making it a long walk to safety if heat illness begins to set in. Employers must also provide farm workers one quart of water each hour, but sometimes this water isn’t clean, cool or accessible, says Mr. Zucker. “Extreme heat days are becoming more frequent and severe due to climate change, putting farmworkers and other outdoor workers at greater risk,” he said. California’s Fourth Climate Change Assessment, published by the California Energy Commission in 2018, predicts an increase of two degrees in Santa Barbara County’s annual average maximum temperature over 30 years. As generations pass, the heat will be felt by farmworkers year-round. Furthermore, Cal/OSHA hasn’t established a standard for when it’s too hot to work, which proves dangerous in hotter inland areas. When pay is set by production instead of hourly labor, paychecks are on the line as well. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Petitioners/Plaintiffs are the Central Coast Water Authority (“CCWA”), a joint powers agency, and its eight public agency members: the Carpinteria Valley Water District, City of Buellton, City of Guadalupe, City of Santa Barbara, City of Santa Maria, Goleta Water District, Montecito Water District, and Santa Ynez River Water Conservation District, Improvement District No. 1, all of whom provide retail water supply service to customers (ratepayers) within Santa Barbara County. Pursuant to a series of agreements in the 1980s and early 1990s, the District transferred all of its rights and obligations to the SWP Contract to Plaintiffs/Petitioners. Among other things, CCWA administers the SWP Contract and delivers SWP water to its members and other parties who have contracted with CCWA for the delivery of SWP water (collectively, “CCWA Participants”). But because the District remains the party to the SWP Contract, whenever DWR requires the District’s execution of an agreement, such as amendment of the SWP Contract or an agreement for the transfer or exchange of SWP water (“DWR Agreement”), CCWA must obtain the District’s execution of such agreement. The District’s adoption of Resolution No. 21-73 damaged CCWA and the CCWA Participants by disrupting their existing plans and future planning for the implementation of the Water Management Amendment, including but not limited to any proposed transfer or exchange of SWP water pursuant to the Water Management Amendment, which such CCWA Participants had or do determine is in the best interest of their customers (the ratepayers), if applicable. Future damages will accrue as CCWA Participants are deprived of the beneﬁts of the Water Management Amendment as a result of the direct and proximate cause of the conditions, restrictions and limitations imposed by Resolution No. 21-73. The CCWA Participants’ damages include, but are not limited to, increased administrative costs, lost sales of surplus water supplies, higher costs to manage water supplies, and increased costs of water service. Resolution No. 21-73 is invalid and should be declared unenforceable for the following reasons: 1.

The District has no right or authority to impose conditions on, much less withhold its approval of, any DWR Agreement for which CCWA has approved and agreed to be bound, including but not limited to the Water Management Amendment or any other amendment to the SWP Contract.

Resolution No. 21-73 violates CCWA’s rights under the Transfer of Financial Responsibility Agreement and each and all of the 19 Water Supply Retention Agreements, which rights were assigned to CCWA, because the District has no right to impose conditions on amendments to the SWP Contract or CCWA’s transfer or exchange of SWP water pursuant to the SWP Contract.

In enacting Resolution No. 21-73, the District acted in excess of statutory authority under the Santa Barbara County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Act (State Statutes of 1955, Ch. 1057), which prohibits the District from affecting, in any way, the water management authority and obligations of public water suppliers within Santa Barbara County, including CCWA and its members.

Resolution No. 21-73 will deprive the CCWA Participants’ of their ability to maximize beneﬁcial use of their SWP water supplies and will result in a waste of water and therefore violates Article X, Section 2 of the California Constitution.

On to world stage Four women to represent SB rowing club in Europe By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Four women from a Santa Barbara rowing club are heading next week to Račice, the Czech Republic, for the Under 23 World Rowing Championships. The club is Mission Rowing, and the athletes are Ruthie Lacy (Oklahoma City, Okla /Oklahoma City University), Grace Beery (Seattle/Boston University), Grace D’Souza (Whitefish Bay, Wis./University of WisconsinMadison) and Isabella Begley (Moorestown, N.J./Syracuse University). They qualified for the world championships, set for July 7-11, after a great finish recently at the U23 National Team Trials at Nathan Benderson Park in Sarasota, Fla. That’s where the athletes won the lightweight women’s quadruple scull with a time of 6:59 on a 2-kilometer course. Head Coach Conal Groom said the goal for the world championships is to “go as fast as possible. Obviously we would love to be on the podium. “No matter what happens, it’s a credit to these women’s character that they’ve been able to sustain their momentum during COVID and perform at such a high level in a year in which competition largely ground to a halt,” Coach Groom said in a news release. “In a normal year we would race up and down the West Coast in the fall, train in the winter and then spend the spring racing at national team identifiers and trials — and seeking out the best competition we could find. But this year, unfortunately, all of that was off the table.” Ms. Begley, who moved to Santa Barbara to train with Mission Rowing, said she and her teammates are thrilled to be going to the world championships. “Representing the U.S.A. and knowing we have more speed to find is exciting and motivating!”

Mission Rowing, which trains at Lake Cachuma, qualified for the world championships after rowing a 2kilometer course in just under 7 minutes at the U23 National Team Trials.

The women have practiced their rowing at La Cachuma. Other Mission Rowing athletes train there as well, and they include Kat Lord Krause, 16, of Santa Ynez. Kat is vying for a spot on the Junior National Team at Selection Camp in Chula Vista. “What many people don’t realize is that not only is rowing an incredibly challenging and rewarding lifetime sport, there is also a ton of scholarship money out there for these kids too, which is a big deal when it comes to applying to colleges,” Coach Groom said. “It’s not like football or swimming where the odds are basically stacked against you from the beginning. “In fact, three out of the four women heading to the World Championship next week are

going to school on either full or partial scholarships — and we’re delighted to be able to introduce more kids and adults to this sport in the months and years to come.” Coach Groom is a nine-time national team member, who finished 11th at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney in the men’s lightweight double. “Conal doesn’t give up on his kids,” said Mission Executive Director Carol Nagy. “He is immensely committed to their success, and whether it’s middle schoolers or the high school racing team or his elite, high performance athletes who come from around the country to train with him here in Santa Barbara, Conal invests a great deal of thought and care into each

PET of the WEEK Bear Bear has a few tricks up his sleeve and would love to show them to you. The 5-year-old black Labrador retriever is awaiting adoption at the Santa Maria Animal Center, which is part of Santa Barbara County Animal Services. He has been working on his summer body and has slimmed down from 146 pound to 130 pounds. Bloodwork found that he has thyroid issues, which he is now on a simple medication to control. Bear would benefit from having someone dedicated to his healthy living plan, and he is ready to go on many walks. He is a bit shy at first but once you make that connection, he’s truly affectionate. He loves good back scratches and is housetrained. Bear’s adoption fees include his neuter, vaccinations, flea-treatment and health/wellness exam. Bear’s microchip is included compliments of CAPA, a nonprofit committed to the medical and behavioral needs of the animals at Animal ServicesLompoc. Animal Services shelters are currently closed to walk-in traffic. To make an appointment to see Bear and other animals, call the Santa Maria Animal Center at 805-934-6119. The center is at 548 W. Foster Road in Santa Maria. To learn more about CAPA and its partnership

ARIES — You may find it difficult to keep things neat and organized today, Aries. It seems like you’re tying to organize a room full of feathers buffeted by gusts of wind. Buy a paperweight. Meanwhile, you might want to give up organizing the feathers and deal with it another time. You may feel too lazy to fight the wind. TAURUS — Your expansive, outwardly directed plans are moving at full force, but once in a while self-doubt slows things down, Taurus. Today is one of those days in which insecurity may hamper your progress. The secret to success is to consider all the options and trust your instincts. Use your keen powers of observation to collect data and arrange facts in an orderly fashion. GEMINI — Your emotions are more peaceful and easier to control today, Gemini. It’s almost as if you’re merging with the energy around you. The one thing to be careful of is indecision. When it comes to taking action on something and you aren’t sure which way to go, you’d do better to hold off. Make your big move some other day. CANCER — Go with the flow today, Cancer. Find the freedom you seek by simply following the path of least resistance. There’s no reason for you to be unhappy. Life doesn’t have to be difficult or complicated. Just be completely yourself. People will act the way they need to in relation to you. Don’t worry about their feelings. They aren’t your responsibility. LEO — Your heightened sensitivity could get you in trouble today, Leo. The more you try to pin down a specific answer to something, the more resistance you may encounter. Don’t expect a straight answer from anyone or you will be disappointed. People may be flighty or forgetful. Try not to take anything too seriously today. VIRGO — Your expansive nature is reaching out to others, Virgo, but you may run into opposition. Keep in mind that not everyone wants your advice. Give it only if someone asks for it. It may be in your nature to want to jump into people’s lives and fix things. Resist that temptation. What people may need instead is someone to listen. Monday, November 16, 2015 LIBRA — Your general mood is at a peak today, although

this mood is slightly off due to indecision on your part, Libra. Don’t let this get you down. If you find it hard to make a choice about something, the solution is simple. Put off making the choice until you feel more comfortable about it. If you must make a decision today, go with your instincts. SCORPIO — You may be a bit confused today, Scorpio. Nothing seems to fit right. It’s as if you’re faced with many different roads, unsure of which one to take. All the choices seem reasonable and you may fear you will miss out on something great whichever one you choose. The truth is that you can find a way that incorporates what you’ve learned from previous paths. Trust yourself. SAGITTARIUS — You may be tormented by an important decision today, Sagittarius. The good news is that once you make up your mind, you will feel much better about yourself. Until then, however, you may vacillate from one side to the other. Asking others for advice may put you in even more of a quandary. The only one who can decide your path is you. CAPRICORN — You may be a little hesitant today, Capricorn, and not really sure why. Just when you thought you had it all figured out, another aspect comes up with a completely different perspective. It may be hard to choose one path and stick with it. Keep in mind that your unique path may incorporate many different side paths. This is one of your many gifts. AQUARIUS — Watch your back today, Aquarius. There’s a distinct presence nearby that requires your attention. Luckily, your emotions are a lot more stable than usual, and you’re more strongly connected with your feelings. In fact, you may be in the clouds. You shouldn’t have any problem navigating through this part of the atmosphere. Others may look to you for advice. PISCES — You may look confused today, Pisces. It may be hard for you to stick with one subject. Your attention may jump from one thing to another. That’s OK. There’s a distinct advantage to seeing all sides of the story. You will have greater perception and awareness of things today. Take this opportunity to put yourself in other people’s shoes so you know how to deal with them in the future.

CODEWORD PUZZLE

SUDOKU

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.
