Back in business: The launch ramp at Santa Barbara Harbor reopened to the public on Friday.

CHAMBER

Continued from A1

Financially, the chambers come into this merger in different situations, with Goleta having already collected dues from its members prior to the coronavirus pandemic, with a bit of cash stashed away in its reserves. Meanwhile, the Santa Barbara chamber is more reliant upon monthly dues, something that subsides in the heart of an economic crisis. “This is starting to remind me of the Recession,” Ms. Miller said. “When people don’t pay their chamber dues, it’s not because they don’t like us anymore, it’s that they have to pay their people first and everything else comes second.” The organizational chart is already set, an item ironed out prior to the merger announcement. Ms. Miller says that allows the chamber to focus on marrying databases, communicating with members and aiding the small businesses from Goleta to Carpinteria. “We are going to be a larger and stronger organization,” Ms. Miller said. “We will expand our member-

ship base, because some businesses might have had to choose between the two of us before. It’s an easier decision to just choose one and be a part of a bigger group. “And then communication is the next thing, we can get together on our email lists, get out our press releases and figure out our speaking engagements. Instead of having overlap on our messaging anyways, we are one united front with a clear message.” Members and staff on both sides of the merger pointed to the need for innovation in the time of economic crisis. “After celebrating 142 years of serving our community, we recognize that these times call for innovation. “Our goal is to increase value for our members, create a unified voice for business, enhance connections for our members and promote the interests of all companies in our region,” said Stephanie Armstrong, Interim Executive Director of the Chamber of the Santa Barbara Region. Others pointed to utilizing both cities’ uniqueness to form a more dynamic brand.

“Although our two cities have distinct histories and identities that we are eager to preserve and celebrate, our economies are inextricably linked and our business community is stronger together,” said Geoff Green, current Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce of the Santa Barbara Region. “Combining our two organizations and our memberships ensures that our region’s business community will be in the strongest possible position as we work toward economic recovery from the pandemic.” Members of the business community are equally excited to watch the merger aid in the Chamber’s efforts in impacting local government. “Regional businesses like ours are eager to see a more focused regional effort for government relations and economic development in our area,” said Kirsten McLaughlin, Market Vice President of Cox and Goleta Chamber of Commerce Board Member. “This is an exciting development for our community.”

Dear Abby: My 30-year-old son insists that I should help pay for the orthodontia he feels he should have had as a child. He is a grown man now with three children of his own, and I am not sure if I, his dad, should financially help him with this. What do you think? — Bracing For An Answer Dear Bracing: I am going to assume that when your son was a minor, you could not afford to get him the orthodontia he needed, which is sad. That said, if you wish to help him now and doing so would not put undue financial pressure on you, go ahead and help him out. However, if you are being guilted into paying because your financially independent son thinks he is “entitled” to it, then forking over the money would be a mistake.

In theory, your 11 points are enough for a jump to two spades, inviting game, but your king of hearts, trapped in front of the opening bidder, may be worthless. Many experts would jump anyway. I would reluctantly downgrade the hand and settle for a response of one spade. East dealer N-S vulnerable

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.

Since 1981 I’ve written a monthly column for the ACBL’s magazine. Many have been “over-my-shoulder” tyle. You listen in on my thoughts during a deal. Ninety of the best of these appear n “Play Bridge With Me,” my 23rd book, just published. The deals are ntermediate level; the focus is on ogical thinking. At today’s four spades, I win the irst heart in dummy and lead a diamond. I can’t risk losing an early rump finesse; I need a quick pitch or my heart loser. East wins the econd diamond and returns a heart, and I win to discard dummy’s last heart on my high diamond. When I inesse in trumps, East wins and exits with a trump.

LIBRA — If you often help people in need, or if helping people is part of your profession, this day will bring certain ideas to light, Libra. You need to take the time on a regular basis to take care of yourself. If you don’t, you won’t be able to continue to help others. Think about it and stop making excuses for why you can’t do it. Think of yourself for a change. SCORPIO — One couldn’t really say that you have a hard time making decisions regarding your love life, Scorpio. You’re a passionate person and you believe in love at first sight. You’re probably the most spontaneous lover in your immediate circle! Add to that, you’re entering a period in which your emotions will be heightened. All the elements are there to ignite your creativity in every aspect of your life. SAGITTARIUS — You enjoy reaping rewards for all your efforts. But in your love life, you have to admit that you can never be sure of the quantity or the quality of the fruits of your labors. Yet, today, Sagittarius, you could realize that it’s time to plant some new seeds. You might not know how they’ll turn out, but you do know better than anyone else that you can’t win if you don’t play. CAPRICORN — You probably know that you don’t attain freedom in one fell swoop, but rather bit by bit as you go through life, Capricorn. Perhaps you’ve been feeling as if you don’t have enough freedom. Over the next few days you could find the situations or people you need in order to liberate yourself. Don’t forget that love is the greatest freedom of all. It could be time to make room for it in your life. AQUARIUS — Throughout the day you may get the feeling that something has changed in the way people relate to each other, Aquarius. It will be as if people are surer of themselves, more open, more expressive. Where, exactly, do you fit into all of this? Are you in a mood to charm other people just for fun? This period is perfect for taking care of your appearance and getting in shape. Do it! PISCES — You can relax a little at last! That’s what you could be thinking with today’s celestial energy. The time is perfect to get ready for the challenges that up to now were just anxieties inside you. If you’re thinking clearly today, Pisces, it’s because you have the strength to face your problems. Now that you have your self-confidence back, you might open your heart even wider to someone dear.

2020 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

HOROSCOPE

ARIES — You’re interested in better understanding yourself and your reactions to the world around you. Well, Aries, today you should take the time to look over your successes and failures, especially where your family life is concerned. The atmosphere is changing and things will be much more positive over the next few days. Think about sharing with other people what you have learned. TAURUS — This is a perfect day for falling in love, Taurus! You can expect anything to happen today. You could even meet someone who is ready to love, support, and listen to you when you need him or her most. You need to put all your fears and hesitations behind you on a day like today. Besides, a little madness every now and then won’t hurt. Throw caution to the wind! GEMINI — Today, Gemini, you’ll really be in the limelight. This could help you change what is sometimes a very negative image you have of yourself. You have a certain kind of energy and magnetism about you - it’s about time someone noticed! It’s only natural that you should be proud of yourself, and that other people should acknowledge your hard work and effort. Revel in this moment of glory! CANCER — If you’ve been feeling a little under the weather, today’s planetary configuration will make you feel a whole lot better, Cancer. In a few days you’ll have the strength to pick up where you left off on the projects you perhaps began last month. A lot of things are changing in your life. Your motivations are evolving and your ambitions could be taking a different direction. LEO — Today is another passionate day in a series of passionate days! Usually, Leo, you’re a fairly reserved person where feelings are concerned. You’ll be much more demonstrative with your emotions over the next few days. You can be like a fire trapped inside a wall of ice, and today that ice is beginning to melt! Let it – and enjoy it! VIRGO — If you come across someone a little strange or eccentric today, try and get to know him or her, because that person could be a reflection of part of you. The person will help you to see how modern and innovative you are, and how much you should appreciate your wonderful qualities. Meeting this Monday, November 16, 2015 person could be a kind of exercise in self-satisfaction.
