The Santa Barbara Triathlon takes place today and tomorrow at East Beach/Cabrillo Bathhouse 1118 E. Cabrillo Blvd.

The Santa Barbara Triathlon was established in 1981.

Today’s events include the long course. Participants will cycle from Santa Barbara to Carpinteria and swim along the East Beach. The long course also includes relay options.

“The Santa Barbara Long Course Triathlon is one of the most beautiful and challenging courses in the country. Its unique distance attracts a variety of athletes and provides a great opportunity for those transitioning from Olympic distance to the longer Half Ironman distance,” according to the website for the event.

“The start line offers panoramic views of Santa Barbara’s famous ‘American Riviera,’ the Channel Islands and the beautiful Stearns Wharf. Our swim takes place on the protected shores of East Beach. The swim parallels the beach and finishes adjacent to the transition area. The bike route follows the coast heading up into the American Riviera overlooking Santa Barbara, Montecito and Carpinteria. The out and back course includes everything a cyclist will love; long flat straights, challenging hills and even a downhill or two to rest. The run course cruises the beachfront. You’ll meander by the wharf, the marina, and Leadbetter Beach … The course is out and back and will typically

(The Center Square) – California legislative leaders have announced support for two measures allowing housing development on much of the state’s commercial land, which could mean millions of new homes amid a housing crisis.

Leading lawmakers announced Thursday that they would support two measures – Assembly Bill 2011 and Senate Bill 6 – allowing housing production in commercial areas, like places zoned for retail and office spaces. AB 2011 would allow developers to use a streamlined approval process for building in commercial zones so long as a certain percentage of the units are affordable housing.

SB 6 would allow marketrate housing development in commercial zones, though projects would still remain subject to a local approval

process.

While both bills apply to commercial sites, they have two key differences: affordability standards and labor standards.

AB 2011 sets a requirement for a certain number of units built to be affordable housing, while SB 6 was amended Thursday to reduce its affordability requirement to zero.

On the labor side, SB 6 requires developers to pay a prevailing wage and utilize a “skilled and trained workforce” to take advantage of the streamlined zoning process in commercial zones. The bill was amended Thursday to do away with the skilled workforce requirement if a developer receives fewer than two bids from qualified contractors, though they are still required to pay a prevailing wage. AB 2011, on the other hand, would require workers to be paid a prevailing Please see HOUSING on A2

Sunday’s events include the co-ed sprint, the duathlon, the women only sprint, the parentchild sprint, the one mile swim and the 5k.

“Take in the view of the channel islands as you toe the water’s edge of the pacific ocean at the 2022 Santa Barbara Triathlon. Then, experience the beautiful backdrop of the Santa Ynez mountains as you cycle the fast and challenging bike course. Finish with a beachfront run that ends with music, refreshments, and plenty of great finish-line vibes,” according to the website.

This year, the Santa Barbara Triathlon will benefit the Foodbank of Santa Barbara.

“As a way to give back to the community, we encourage supporting the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County. Through their program model, they are able to turn $1 into 8 meals,” according to the website.

Community continues to see high level of COVID-19 transmission

Santa Barbara Triathlon cyclists to use local highways Saturday

There continues to be a high level of COVID-19 transmission in the community. BA.5 continues to be the dominant strain on the southern West Coast, as well as in the rest of the nation.

Over the last seven days, the weekly average of reported PCR-confirmed cases has decreased by 2.3%.

This is an underreporting of cases in Santa Barbara County given increased rapid antigen home testing that is often not reported to the Public Health Department.

COVID-19 community levels have remained at medium in Santa Barbara County according to CDC definitions.

This reflects new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people, new COVID-19-related hospital admissions per 100,000 and the percent of inpatient beds occupied by COVID-19 patients.

Meanwhile, COVID-19related hospitalizations have been steady, although ICU admissions have been increasing.

There have been four deaths reported over the last week.

SANTA BARBARA COUNTY – Approximately 800 cyclists participating in the Santa Barbara Triathlon will use portions of the state highway system in Santa Barbara, Montecito and Carpinteria on Saturday, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. in the following locations: • U.S. 101 Overcrossing at San Ysidro Road; • State Route 150 between State Route 192 and Gobernador Canyon Road; • State Route 192 between Sheffield Drive and State Route 150.

The cyclists will be riding near moving traffic, so no road closures are planned. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) will be present to ensure the safety of motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

For information on traffic updates on Caltrans projects in Santa Barbara County, residents may call the District 5 Public Affairs Office at (805) 549-3237 or visit our website at: https://dot.ca.gov/caltrans-nearme/district-5

Former nuclear critics support continuing use of Diablo Canyon plant NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

On Friday, a group of former critics of nuclear power issued a letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom and legislators, encouraging them to continue the safe operation of Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant.

The letter is signed by Charles Komanoff, a lead witness for ratepayer advocates in California’s investigations of Diablo Canyon’s cost overruns in the 1980s, Stewart Brand, cofounder of the Global Business Network and editor of the Whole Earth Catalog, and Armond Cohen, president of Clean Air Task Force.

The signatories assert that the threats of climate change justify the continued operation of California’s largest source of carbon-free energy.

Mr. Komanoff, Mr. Brand and Mr. Cohen penned the following letter to Gov. Newsom and California legislators: “We write as climate and clean energy advocates, and former critics of nuclear power, to encourage you to exercise your governing authority to ensure the continued safe operation of the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant.

“Our planet is burning, and California is right in its path: drought, wildfires and fatal heatwaves are nearly daily headlines. We need to avoid every

ton of climate-warming carbon pollution not just in the future but right now. Half of California’s electricity still comes from fossil fuels and that number will go higher without Diablo Canyon.

“Shutting Diablo Canyon will consign the next big waves of renewable energy in the state to standing in for Diablo’s clean power, keeping them from replacing climate-killing fossil fuels. This needless bulge in our state’s carbon emissions will persist until every kilowatt on the West Coast comes from zero- or ultra-low-carbon sources – which will take decades.

“Diablo Canyon has a top rating for safety. Its resilience against earthquakes has been bolstered

by unprecedented degrees of seismic protection and affirmed by decades of careful analysis.

“Others can debate whether to build new nuclear plants to combat the climate crisis. But no one can deny that letting existing, well-functioning reactors like Diablo Canyon remain in service keeps fossil fuels in the ground and their carbon emissions out of our atmosphere. We ignore that benefit at our peril.

“Please use your executive and legislative powers to ensure that Diablo Canyon can continue in service and help defend our state, nation and planet against deadly climate change.”

“raise the wages and improve the working conditions for tens of thousands of lowwage construction workers,” while the State Building and Construction Trades Council applauded SB 6 as a “game changer for working families to achieve the American Dream and it will protect workers from exploitation.”

The two bills also received the support of Senate President Pro Tempore Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, D-Lakewood.

“The best legislative achievements – like this one – only come when you see negotiations as a non-zero-sum game,” Assemblymember Rendon said in a statement. “We didn’t go into this to have one side win at the expense of another. As a result, we have a housing victory that checks off a lot of the boxes – affordability, mixed-use, transit accessibility and labor security.”

The altered measures must pass legislative muster before sponsors can send either to Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The legislative agreement on both bills came after weeks of negotiations over the labor provisions in AB 2011. The bill, backed by affordable housing developers and the state’s carpenter union and opposed by the Building and Construction Trades Council, struggled to reach a compromise on the labor standards, as reported by CalMatters.

Thursday’s legislative agreement aims to strike a balance that satisfies the need for affordable housing with the desires of labor groups by offering developers a choice.

Builders who want to develop housing in commercial zones can either comply with the bill that requires affordable housing without a skilled and trained workforce, or they can comply with the bill that requires a skilled workforce and does not require affordable

housing.

AB 2011 author Assemblymember Buffy Wicks told The Center Square that the two bills represent the “most robust housing production packages we’ve seen in recent years.”

“The streamlining of each bill is different and the labor provisions are different, but they’re very complimentary. They work really well together and they give something for everyone to love, Assemblymember Wicks said. “We really view this as pretty transformative for housing policy here in California.”

Assemblymember Wicks estimated that in the coming years, AB 2011 could result in the production of up to two million units of housing. The bill is awaiting a hearing on the Senate floor.

The package of bills received the backing of carpenters unions and the State Building and Construction Trades Council, representing thousands of workers. The NorCal Carpenters Union praised AB 2011 for its provisions to

Aldana’s perfect cross set up Aguilar for the late equalizer

By MICHAEL JORGENSON UCSB SPORTS WRITER

Opening the regular season at No. 19 Missouri State on Thursday, the UC Santa Barbara men’s soccer team battled back from a first half deficit to claim a 1-1 tie.

Sophomore forward Salvador Aguilar’s goal in the 75th minute came off a perfect cross from the right side by junior right back Jorge Aldana. The lone goal proved to be enough to keep the Gauchos out of the loss column, as a late Missouri miscue negated what should have been the game-winning goal on a penalty.

Although they would take the lead in the first half, the Bears got out to a bit of a nervy start. Their offense started building momentum with some dangerous crosses, including one near-goal that was wiped off by an offside call.

Santa Barbara found itself with an excellent chance on a 24th minute breakaway by junior forward Finn Ballard McBride. The Australian patiently took his man into the box, but as he made his final move couldn’t quite get the touch he needed and lost possession without getting a shot off.

Missouri State opened the scoring in the 33rd minute after a good run made from the midfield drew the Gaucho defenders out. The ball was sent wide to two-time All-MVC First Teamer Aadne Bruseth with tons of space. Bruseth’s cross just outside the six-yard box deflected off a Gaucho defender and fell right to junior forward Jesus Barea, who slotted his shot in through traffic.

The Gauchos held off the Bears to keep the scoreline manageable, waiting for their chance to finally break down what had been a stubborn defense. They got their chance during a seemingly harmless progression as the clock approached 74 minutes.

Senior center back Henry Davies sent it out wide to Aldana, whose quick long ball from deep on the right wing caught the Bears’ back line off guard. Aguilar’s well-timed run saw him get right under the pass with all the room in the world to jump freely, and his twisting header could not have been better placed just inside the far left post.

The two sides matched each other with four shots on goal, while the Bears had a slight 9-8 edge in total shots.

The Dos Pueblos High School volleyball team beat Ventura on Thursday in its first Channel League matchup of the year. Dos Pueblos won in four sets, 25-19, 2025, 25-21 and 25-13.

“We had a really fun opening match of Channel League play and our first home match of the season,” said Coach Megan O’Connell. “We got incredible leadership from our seniors …

Our setter Hallie Rillie played her best match of the season making some really smart plays and being an offensive threat herself.

Our three-headed monster of Chloe (Hoffman), Lucy (Speier), and Makeila (Cervantes) were all lethal on the net and scored us a ton of points. Both our

A scientific analysis from an artist’s perspective, it is more aesthetic than technical.

Not long after, a foul on a jump ball in the Missouri State box awarded the Bears a penalty and a chance to retake the lead. Fortunately for the Gauchos, although the penalty was put away by Nicolo Mulatero, his stop-and-start move towards the ball caused multiple Bears to enter the box early, and the goal was called back.

Both teams pushed forward and made subs aggressively looking to break the tie, but would run out of time.

Hoffman supplied 19 kills for Dos Pueblos to go with 13 digs, four aces and a block. Speier and Cervantes each contributed 11 kills, with Speier adding 13 digs, a block and an ace and Cervantes supplying two digs, a block and an ace. Rillie put up 37 assists, seven kills, eight digs and an ace, Malia Brofferio added 11 digs and four assists, Low had three kills, two digs, an assist, a block and an ace and Elena Andrews supplied two kills and two blocks.

“We’ve been harping on an all-out mind set on defense and I think our backrow really embodied that tonight. We were scrappy on everything and made an effort to get to every ball,” said O’Connell.

Critics say keeping bars open later poses public safety risk BARS

Continued from Page A2 San Francisco, said in a joint statement. “We are assessing whether there is a path to pass the bill off the Assembly floor.”

The bill was met with opposition from both Republican and Democratic lawmakers Wednesday, many raising concerns about the potential for more drunk drivers on the road in the early morning hours.

“Extending these hours of service for people to become impaired, mixed with the fatigue factor that also is an extreme threat to public safety, is asking for death,” Assemblyman Tom Lackey, RPalmdale, who was a former California Highway Patrol Officer, said. “I promise you that there will be death, needless death, if we pass this bill.”

Assemblymember Jim Cooper, D-Elk Grove, who was also a CHP chief, expressed concern about the significant shortage of patrol officers who would be enforcing the bill. Assemblymember Cooper told lawmakers that CHP currently is down “about 1,000 positions” and Alcoholic Beverage Control “is down 20% of their staffing.”

ALL OF OUR GREAT COMFORT SLEEPERS® ARE ON SALE NOW!

In Palm Springs, Assemblymember Cooper said there are four agents to oversee 440 liquor licenses, meaning each agent would be responsible for 110 locations each.

Sen. Wiener and Assemblymember Haney called the speeches by lawmakers in opposition “misleading” in their joint statement. During floor testimony, Assemblymember Haney cited statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration showing “there is no correlation between states with later closing times and higher rates of drunk driving.”

“We need to reexamine our one-size-fits all, top-down approach to nightlife in our state. It restricts business, it harms economic activity and it is not appropriate for this top down approach with the diversity of needs of local communities,” Assemblymember Haney said in support of the bill Wednesday. “Local Control will help speed up the recovery from the pandemic, keep our tourism industry competitive, support our vibrant nightlife culture and give our communities the flexibility they need.”

The bill failed to pass in a 31-25 vote, but Assemblymember Haney was granted reconsideration, meaning lawmakers could vote again on the measure.

Biden plan: Taxpayers to pay billions after administration ‘forgives’ $10K to $20K in student loan debt per borrower

By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – President Joe Biden announced Wednesday his administration would “forgive” $10,000 in federal student loan debt for those making less than $125,000 per year. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget said the plan could cost taxpayers more than $200 billion.

The total income cap is expected to be higher for married couples, likely around double the $125,000 mark, though that has not been confirmed.

For Pell Grant recipients, the debt reduction will total $20,000.

The plan will also allow borrowers to cap repayment of their loans at 5% of their income, and it extends student loan repayment “one final time” through Dec. 31 of this year, according to the White House.

“In keeping with my campaign promise, my Administration is announcing a plan to give working and middle class families breathing room as they prepare to resume federal student loan payments in January

2023,” President Biden said in a statement.

The decision comes after months of warning of the budgetary impacts over increased inflation and federal debt from the decision.

“Simply extending the current repayment pause through the end of the year would cost $20 billion – equivalent to the total deficit reduction from the first six years of the IRA, by our rough estimates,” the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget said in a statement. “Cancelling $10,000 per person of student debt for households making below $300,000 a year would cost roughly $230 billion. Combined, these policies would consume nearly ten years of deficit reduction from the Inflation Reduction Act.” A CNBC/Momentive survey released earlier this week reported that 59% of those surveyed said they are concerned forgiving student debt will hike inflation. As the Center Square previously reported, Harvard Professor and former Chair of President Barack Obama’s Council of Economic Advisors Jason

Furman argued that forgiving student debt “benefits recent college grads and hurts most everyone else, both rich and poor.”

“Student loan relief is not free,” Furman wrote on Twitter.

“It would be paid for. Part of it would be paid for by the 87% of Americans who do not benefit but lose out from inflation. Part of it would be paid for by future spending cuts [and] tax increases – with uncertainty about who will bear those costs.”

Critics pointed out that Democrats have repeatedly said President Biden does not have the authority to forgive the loans.

“People think that the president of the United States has the power for [student loan] debt forgiveness,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said in April. “He does not.”

Lawmakers also blasted President Biden for the plan.

“Joe Biden has had a lot of bad ideas,” U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., said. “But transferring billions in student loan debt to taxpayers – especially at a time of high inflation – might be his worst idea yet.”

Biden administration uses taxpayer dollars to help grow public unions, critics push back

(The Center Square) – The federal Office of Personnel Management is actively helping public unions recruit more members, and critics are calling it a major conflict of interest.

OPM recently released updates to FedScope, a public database of federal employees, that will allow union leaders to recruit those employees to grow their member rolls, and as a result, their coffers.

“The decision by the Office of Personnel Management to help unions identify additional organizing opportunities in the federal government is concerning, but utterly predictable,” said Maxford Nelsen, director of labor policy at the Freedom

Foundation. “In fact, it’s just the latest in a string of related efforts by the Biden administration to promote unionization.”

In the private sector, companies usually work hard to prevent unions from forming because they can cause costs to balloon. The federal government, though, is less motivated since those added costs are simply passed off to the taxpayers.

On top of that, critics point out that supporting unions with taxpayer funds can have big political benefits for elected officials.

President Joe Biden issued an executive order in April of last year stating plainly that “the policy of my Administration is to encourage worker organizing and collective bargaining.”

Critics say taxpayer funds shouldn’t be used to grow unions UNIONS

Continued from Page A4 That included the creation of a labor task force to that end and put Vice President Kamala Harris in charge.

And unions have been grateful, publicly thanking the Biden administration for the help. The National Federation of Federal Employees thanked President Biden in a press release last week for the OPM tool.

“This upgraded resource will be an excellent tool for our union to locate non-union employees

across the federal government who are rightfully entitled to representation and a voice in their workplace,” said NFFE National President Randy Erwin. “NFFE specifically requested assistance in identifying the hundreds of thousands of unrepresented government workers, and today OPM delivered on its commitment to promote employee organizing and collective bargaining by rolling out the enhanced database. We are excited to help these federal employees who have not yet joined a union organize in their workplaces and obtain critical

Audi Santa Barbara

rights and benefits through unionizing.”

Critics, though, say taxpayer funds should not be used to help grow unions, especially when unions traditionally support Democrats in various ways, including rallying members on their behalf or through campaign ads, though there are some restrictions on donations.

President Biden was outspokenly pro-union on the campaign trail, and labor organizations shelled out more than $27 million for Biden in the 2020 election cycle, according to Open Secrets.

OPM did not respond to a request for comment.

“Helping unions identify organizing targets in the federal workforce not only enlists taxpayers in promoting private, politically active organizations opposed to their interests, but exposes the reality that much union organizing comes from the top down,” Mr. Nelsen said. “If federal employees were clamoring for union representation, unions wouldn’t need the Biden administration to help them find the pockets of non-union employees hiding out in the federal bureaucracy.”

Released FBI affidavit Military whistleblower report alleges alleges ‘highly classified’ COVID-19 vaccine illegally administered documents were kept at The officers alleged in the Aug. 15 memorandum that the DOD has unlawfully administered Mar-a-Lago

By MERRILEE GASSER

THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – A redacted version of the affidavit used to justify the raid on former President Donald Trump’s Florida residence was released Friday and is under scrutiny from media and lawmakers.

Roughly half of the 38-page document is redacted. In the affidavit, the FBI says Mr. Trump may have violated the law for allegedly keeping classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence.

“The government is conducting a criminal investigation concerning the improper removal and storage of classified information in unauthorized spaces, as well as the unlawful concealment or removal of government records,” the affidavit said.

The affidavit states that the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration tipped off federal law enforcement in February of this year that 15 boxes of documents containing “highly classified” materials had been sent to them from Trump’s representatives in Mara-Lago.

U.S. Senate Democrat Mark Warner, D-Va., who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, reacted to the “improperly handled” documents, saying the Department of Justice “must

be allowed to proceed without interference.”

“It appears, based on the affidavit unsealed this morning, that among the improperly handled documents at Mar-a-Lago were some of our most sensitive intelligence – which is one reason the Senate Intelligence Committee has requested, on a bipartisan basis, a damage assessment of any national security threat posed by the mishandling of this information,” Sen. Warner said.

The release comes at the order of Judge Bruce Reinhart, who originally approved the raid.

“It is a foundational principle of American law that judicial proceedings should be open to the public,” Judge Reinhart said in his Monday ruling.

Judge Reinhart ruled that a redacted version of the affidavit should be released, in part because the raid on Mr. Trump was so “unprecedented.”

“Particularly given the intense public and historical interest in an unprecedented search of a former President’s residence, the Government has not yet shown that these administrative concerns are sufficient to justify sealing,” he wrote. “I therefore reject the Government’s argument that the present record justifies keeping the entire Affidavit under seal.”

(The Center Square) – A new whistleblower report signed by nine officers across five branches of the military claims the Department of Defense’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate is unlawful.

The report was sent to Congress urging an investigation into what it called illegal and fraudulent activity by the DOD. The memorandum was published by Liberty Council, a nonprofit legal group that in January maintained there was no legal COVID-19 vaccine available despite the U.S. Food and Drug Administration saying there was.

The officers alleged in the Aug. 15 memorandum that the DOD has unlawfully administered emergency use authorized (EUA) products as if they were fully licensed FDA-approved products. Military regulations state service members have a legal right to refuse EUA products.

Although the FDA issued approval for Pfizer’s Comirnaty vaccine in August 2021, none of the FDA-approved vaccines were available. FDA documents dated November 2021 stated: “In the U.S., there are no licensed vaccines or antiviral drugs for the prevention of COVID-19.”

Furthermore, the FDA said the EUAauthorized Pfizer vaccines were “legally distinct” from the FDA-approved Comirnaty vaccines that were unavailable for service members in the U.S. “The licensed vaccine has the same formulation as the EUA-authorized vaccine and the products can be used interchangeably to provide the vaccination series without presenting any safety or effectiveness concerns. The products are legally distinct with certain differences that do not impact safety or effectiveness,” the FDA said.

The National Institutes of Health confirmed no fully approved products were available in an announcement posted in

emergency use authorized (EUA) products as if they were fully licensed FDA-approved products.

Military regulations state service members have a legal right to refuse EUA products.

September 2021.

Despite only having EUA products available, service members who did not want to receive a COVID-19 vaccine said the DOD still illegally mandated them to be vaccinated.

“The DoD cannot claim ignorance with regard to the legal differences between an EUA product and a licensed product that purports to be medically interchangeable but has not become statutorily interchangeable,” the officers wrote in the whistleblower report.

There are several pending legal cases against military vaccine mandates in which federal judges have granted preliminary injunctions for service members who do not wish to be vaccinated.

The ability to refuse a COVID-19 vaccine due to religious objections has been predominantly denied to service members.

Of the 24,818 religious exemption requests received, only four were granted. Four thousand one hundred forty-six medical exemptions were granted. Military regulations state service members have a right to refuse vaccination on religious grounds or for medical reasons, including natural immunity from previous infection.

The report said that through legal battles over the past year, the DOD has pivoted to state that Pfizer EUA vaccines were compliant with Biologics License Application (BLA) requirements. The

officers say the EUA products are not compliant with BLA requirements because they don’t match the BLA-approved product label.

Concerns have been raised over the side effects of the COVID-19 vaccines. A lawyer representing another whistleblower alleged the prevalence of multiple medical conditions has skyrocketed since the COVID19 vaccines were introduced, including a 2,181% increase in hypertension, a 1,048% increase in nervous system diseases, and more.

“The military is hemorrhaging outstanding military men and women of conscience, who are attempting to defend the rule of law at great personal cost. The DoD has unlawfully discharged thousands of service members for exercising their legal right to decline emergency use products. Ensuring timely DoD adherence to U.S. law requires Congressional action. As the oversight authority, you have the ability to investigate the HHS Secretary’s recurring declarations of emergency, as well as potential crimes associated with unlawful administration of EUA products and biologic product labeling fraud. Failure to take swift action will cause continued, irreversible harm to the basic human rights of American citizens while further damaging our national security,” the whistleblower report said.

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.

use of this talent. In the past you may have hesitated to step forward and implement your ideas. But recent successes have given you the necessary confidence to pursue your objectives.

SCORPIO — Today you feel in control and on top of the world.

You can do anything, Scorpio.

This would be an auspicious time to begin a new project or creative endeavor. You can’t help but succeed but take care not to get in your own way.

Sometimes you can be your own worst enemy. Believe in yourself and move confidently in the direction of your dreams in order to make them come true.

SAGITTARIUS — Friendship could turn into romance if you aren’t careful, Sagittarius. A platonic relationship could turn passionate, and no one would be more surprised than you.

Think carefully about where you’d like this to go. While it can’t go back to the way it was, you can stop it from progressing further if you’re uncomfortable with the new dynamic.

CAPRICORN — Today you wake up feeling reinvigorated and renewed, Capricorn.

You feel as though you can accomplish anything. And very likely, today you can.

Anything you set your mind and attention to works out beautifully. Take care that you don’t gloat too much, though.

Just because you feel invincible doesn’t necessarily mean that you are.

AQUARIUS — People often see you as shy and reserved, Aquarius, but of course you know that you’re really very friendly once you relax. Today you find it unusually easy to interact with others. In fact, you feel downright gregarious as you chat and joke along with the best of them. This new, sociable you does wonders for your image.

PISCES — All things domestic are highlighted, Pisces. It could be that you’ve finally called the plumber or set out to do those household repairs yourself. New people are likely to come into your life. In fact, they may try to finagle an invitation for dinner, if possible. All you can expect today is the unexpected. Have some extra food on hand and see what happens.

HOROSCOPE ARIES — Keep your mind open to any and all possibilities today, Aries. It’s likely that you’ll encounter someone who imparts valuable information. You may not realize right away just how important this information is, but it could have a dramatic impact on your life. Be prepared for anything. This is likely to be a most interesting day.

TAURUS — Your ship could come in today, Taurus. It will happen unexpectedly, and it may take you some time to adjust to this sudden financial windfall. This is a day of big changes, because you may also decide to use this money to completely alter your way of life.

It could be that you make a move to another part of the country or decide to change professions.

GEMINI — You’re likely aware of your writing abilities, Gemini, but you may not realize the extent of your talent. It would be worthwhile to devote more time to your craft. You can’t improve much if writing time is interrupted by other obligations. Take some time to produce something of value.

CANCER — Tact isn’t necessarily your strong suit, Cancer. No one would accuse you of being overly sensitive to other people’s emotions, but today you turn over a new leaf.

This “new and improved” you tunes in to the thoughts and feelings of others and responds in thoughtful, caring ways.

LEO — Even though you probably aren’t getting on a plane today, Leo, you would love to at some point in the future.

Your wanderlust is back and you’re bound for the wild blue yonder yet again, most likely to someplace exotic. Enjoy the time away, but do come back.

VIRGO — Positive change rarely happens without effort. Keep this in mind as transformation occurs quickly.

You may feel as though you’re in the middle of a whirlpool and getting sucked deeper and deeper, unsure of where you’ll ultimately end up. This is merely the “nose to the grindstone” phase. Trust that your efforts will ultimately be rewarded.

LIBRA — You have natural leadership abilities, and today would be an ideal day to make

ROELLE, Juli

Juli Roelle was born August 26, 1954 and died June 14, 2022. She and her biological little sister, Patty, were adopted at ages 3½ and 2½ into the Roelle family. Juli attended school in West Covina until the family moved to Santa Barbara in 1968. She graduated from Bishop Garcia Diego High School in 1972. Juli was a caring skillful nurse in Olympia, WA. She was on the IV starting team because Juli was one of a handful of nurses who could find a vein on anyone. As a dedicated determined leader in the union, she campaigned for nurses’ rights at the hospital where she worked. An entrepreneur, she owned her own Soma Massage business. She was a true healer. Most of the bodywork she did was for barter or for less than it was worth. This is because it was more important for her to be there for clients and help them heal than to make a profit. Juli was also a volunteer at the Crisis Clinic in Olympia and trained many volunteers.

Juli believed kindness and unconditional love were of the utmost importance and reflected these beautiful qualities in her daily life. She adored animals and throughout the years had a variety of pets she cared for from horses and chickens to ferrets and goats, and always cats. Otters were her favorite wild animal. Juli loved nature, appreciating the beauty the earth had to offer. She enjoyed feeding, watching, and listening to the birds that surrounded her home. She was fond of gardening and had a household full of thriving plants.

This petite, feisty, strong-willed dynamo was always full of energy and spunk. She had a brilliant sense of humor, an all-knowing smile, an exemplary vocabulary, was sentimental, witty and intelligent. She was an avid reader. A talented musician; Juli played piano and guitar and sang as well. Juli was a loyal, protective, and trustworthy person, someone who could always be depended upon and easily gave whatever she could to others in need. She had a serious sweet tooth, loved candy and butter, yet remained sinewy and trim her entire life. Juli was a serious aficionado of strong coffee.

She leaves one son, Dan, who resides in Olympia.

Mother, sister, daughter, aunt, niece, cousin, neighbor, nurse, masseuse, volunteer, and friend. She will be greatly missed by all those who had the honor of knowing her.

“Rosewood Miramar Beach is proud to be a supporter of Santa Barbara Humane, and the property’s team of dog lovers are excited to support this worthwhile cause.”

Proceeds of the event will go to benefit the Santa Barbara Humane Society, a local nonprofit with sites in Santa Barbara and Santa Maria that has provided low-cost veterinary care services and affordable and humane dog training classes, pet adoption and animal rehoming services since 1987.

The winner of the competition was a joint appearance by brother and sister doggy duo Bobross and Ellie, a pair of 3-and-a-half-yearold Havapus entered by Corey Kilman. They were followed in second place by 2-and-a-halfyear-old Zoey — a Labrador/Swiss Mountain Dog mix entered by Ruthy Green — and 3-year-old Labradoodle, Nemo, entered by Jeff Barrasso in third.

Contestants were judged on appearance, personality, and tricks by Santa Barbara City Councilman Oscar Gutierrez, Montecito Fire Department Battalion Chief David Neels, the Santa Barbara Humane Society’s Chief Philanthropy Officer Paige Van Tuyl and Rosewood Miramar Beach Managing Director Rick Fidel, who also played the part of show announcer during the event.

Some notable tricks that occurred during the event included contest winners Bobross and Ellie, who danced for whipped cream and sneezed on command respectively; and a Cocker Spaniel named Joey, who nearly placed in the top three with his ability to take commands in French. email: jdaniels@newspress.com Dogs take the opportunity to mingle during the event.
