Police increase presence on westside Patrol efforts grow after shooting in Santa Barbara area around Bohnett Park By NEIL HARTSTEIN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

KENNETH SONG / NEWS-PRESS

This mural graces restrooms at Bohnett Park in Santa Barbara. Police have increased their presence in the westside area following a gangrelated shooting on July 13.

Santa Barbara police have stepped up their patrol efforts on the westside near Bohnett Park to reassure the surrounding neighborhood — in particular the nearby Boys and Girls Clubs — that they are on the job in the wake of a recent gang-related shooting. The goal of the increased presence is not just to ease neighborhood concerns about public safety since the July 13 shooting, but to deter future gang-related violence in the future, officials said. “When we get a hot spot like that, the police

increase patrol and vigilance,” Mayor Randy Rowse told the News-Press Thursday. “As far as I know, they’re continuing there. They’re going to spend more time. They’re a little spread out right now, but we will not sacrifice patrol.” The mayor said efforts by the city and police have paid off in less gang-related violence over the years, “but just because such activity is relatively light doesn’t mean we’re not paying attention to it.” “Our first priority is patrol,” he said. “It’s No. 1 ... and we’re doing our best to get more bodies into uniform, both sworn and professional.” “Police-felt presence throughout the

Protect Patriot Parents Act moves on to full House Carbajal’s bill designed to help parents of service members achieve Lawful Permanent Resident status By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The duration of Santa Barbara’s water shortage alert depends on future state mandates and how much — or how little — it rains this winter. That’s according to city water officials, who told the News-Press there’s a “high likelihood that a dry winter throughout the state would lead to further statewide action.” But the city officials say that despite the water shortage alert, there’s a good outlook for local water. They say the reasons include improved conservation by residents, the diversification of water sources and the reactivation of the city’s desalination plant. The Santa Barbara City Council declared a Stage 2 water shortage alert on June 21, 2022. While the city stated in July that “Santa Barbara’s water outlook is good, even if extreme dry conditions persist for several years,” the move was made to comply with an executive order issued by Gov. Gavin Newsom. The governor directed urban water suppliers

to reduce their water use at a time when 95% of the state continues to languish in either severe or extreme drought conditions. Santa Barbara received 67% of its average winter rainfall for 2022 while Lake Cachuma water levels currently stand at just 41% capacity. The lake is a primary water source for Santa Barbara, Goleta, Carpinteria and Montecito. But the city predicts it will be able to meet its water demands without shortages for two years even if rainfall levels continue to come in below average. Under the Stage 2 alert, Santa Barbara residents are being asked to take a variety of actions to reduce their water use. These include using shut-off nozzles on hoses, running sprinklers and other in-ground irrigation systems only between 6 p.m. and 8 a.m., and refraining from using hoses to spray down sidewalks and other surfaces unless for safety purposes. The alert also means continuing to follow the statewide ban against watering “non-functional turf grass, turf that is solely ornamental and not regularly used

in the Air Force,” Rep. Carbajal said. “Juana Flores had no criminal record and is an upstanding citizen. She has 10 children including a special needs child. She also has 18 grandchildren.” Rep. Carbajal aided the family in the process to bring Mrs. Flores back to the U.S. The congressman worked with the family’s legal team and wrote a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, asking him to grant the Flores family’s request for humanitarian parole. The request for a temporary parole was granted. Rep. Carbajal’s Protect the Parents Patriot Act was added as an amendment to the Veteran Service Recognition Act of 2022 , prior to the Judiciary Committee’s passage of the measure earlier Wednesday. Recent estimates project that there are as many as 80,000 illegal immigrants who are living in the U.S. and are the spouses and parents of active duty and former service members. Rep. Carbajal said he came to the U.S. as an immigrant when the immigration system worked. He said the current system doesn’t work, which is “why people don’t want to wait 15 years for adjudication. “I was lucky enough to serve in the United States Marine Corps Reserve as an immigrant and a veteran,” he said. “I know the value of serving our country. Service members don’t need to stress. They are making the ultimate sacrifice. “That has to count for something.” email: kzehnder@newspress.com

for human recreational purposes or for civic or community events.” Santa Barbara’s current water use is, on average, 25% lower than it was in 2013 prior to the statewide drought, which is on-par with city water use levels in the 1950s despite the city’s population nearly doubling since then, according to the city. “I’m proud of the investment our community has made in diversifying our water supply for long-term reliability, and in our community members who have made real lifestyle changes to conserve and use water wisely,” said Water Resources Manager Joshua Haggmark in a news release. “Our residents and businesses have truly invested in a ‘conservation as a way of life’ approach to water use. But now is the time for all of us to do a little more and be part of the watersaving solution for California.” In addition to conservation efforts taken by residents, the city points to Santa Barbara’s diversification of its water supply portfolio as a reason for its current good outlook despite the statewide drought.

The House Judiciary Committee this week approved the Protect Patriot Parents Act — U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal’s measure that makes parents of military service members eligible for Lawful Permanent Resident status. The legislation is designed to prevent potential deportations or separations of military families. With the committee’s approval on Wednesday, the measure is now advanced for consideration by the full House. “The bill allows undocumented parents of active duty service members to remain in the U.S., to not be deported while seeking the legalization application to move forward or not be adjudicated,” Rep. Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, told the News-Press Thursday. For service members serving America domestically or abroad, the last thing they need to stress about is their parents being deported, Rep. Carbajal said. He explained that his bill allows for parents who are illegal immigrants and are already in the U.S. to stay in America while continuing to pursue the process to become legal immigrants. The Protect Patriot Parents Act would allow parents of service members to apply for a green card. Rep. Carbajal’s measure is inspired by the story of the Flores family from Goleta. The mother of Sgt. Cesar Flores was deported despite living in the U.S. for 30 years and having a child in the U.S. Air Force. Juana Flores was deported in 2019, but was allowed to return to the U.S. last year after public outcry and lobbying from Rep. Carbajal and other community leaders. “Not too long ago, I got to know a Central Coast mom by the name Juana Flores. Juana was cruelly ripped away from her family despite the fact that her son is on active duty

Congress passes CHIPS and Science Act House committee By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act was passed by the House Thursday by vote of 243 to 187 and now awaits President Joe Biden’s signature. The bill, which was passed earlier this week by the Senate, invests $52 billion in domestic chip production. President Joe Biden is expected to sign the legislation during the coming days. “Semiconductors are critical pieces of a wide range of goods that Americans rely on every day — and as inflation has struck the price of cars, appliances, and other goods, it’s important to recognize a key reason for such dramatic price increases: We aren’t making these chips in America anymore,” Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, said in a news release. “Not only did the U.S. pioneer the microchip and the computing power that now powers our daily lives, we used to have almost

40% of the global semiconductor market. “Now we’ve become reliant on almost 90% of our semiconductors from foreign sources, putting our supply chains and national security at constant risk — as well as forcing additional costs on American families who need these goods when supply chains have failed,” the congressman said. “That’s why the CHIPs and Science Act was a part of my Inflation Action Plan. Lowering costs for these goods can’t happen if their central components have to come from far-off nations.” Recent supply chain disruptions have highlighted America’s reliance on foreignmade semiconductors, Rep. Carbajal’s office noted in its news release. The U.S. has seen its domestic manufacturing capacity for these hi-tech components decrease from more than onethird to only 12% of the global market over the past 20 years, according to the news release. Included in the $52 billion for investments

in domestic semiconductor manufacturing is a new tax credit to motivate companies to invest in production. There are also guardrails to prevent private companies from using these investments to fund stock buybacks or dividends. Proponents say the legislation also strengthens research and development through the National Science Foundation, supports regional tech hubs to create jobs and spur innovation in new parts of the country, diversifies the STEM workforce, and expands access to American-made 5G technology. (STEM stands for “science, technology, engineering and math.”) The CHIPS and Science Act is projected to create 100,000 new jobs building hi-tech manufacturing facilities in the U.S., and help increase America’s STEM workforce to fill new research and development jobs across the nation, according to Rep. Carbajal’s office. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

The House Committee on Financial Services Thursday approved the Naomi Schwartz Safe Parking Program Act, a measure authored by U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara. The bipartisan bill enables local entities to receive grants to establish and expand safe parking programs, which provide homeless persons living in their vehicles with a safe place to park their vehicles overnight. The programs also offer resources to assist with the transition to more stable housing. The nation’s first safe parking program was established in 2004 in Santa Barbara in former County Supervisor Naomi Schwartz’s district. The bill is named for Ms. Schwartz to honor her role as an original champion of the program. Such programs have now spread across the country, but there remains limited federal funds to run the operational costs associated with these programs, according to Rep. Carbajal’s office.

“I am grateful to the members of the House Financial Services Committee who today helped us take one step closer to providing federal support for safe parking programs,” Rep. Carbajal said in a news release. “Safe parking programs originated here on the Central Coast and should be part of the wide array of strategies we support at the federal level to help people experiencing homelessness.” The bill expands eligibility to the Housing and Urban Development Department’s Emergency Solution Grants to include or expand safe parking programs for local governments. With committee approval, the measure is now available for consideration by the full House. Rep. Carbajal’s measure has the support of the National Alliance to End Homelessness, the National Low Income Housing Coalition, the Housing Authority of the County of Santa Barbara, New Beginning and the National Homelessness Law Center. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

deputies.” Santa Barbara police officers arrested a 16-year-old male on the evening of July 13, on suspicion of attempted murder hours after the shooting occurred. Earlier that day, police received several 9-1-1 calls regarding possible “shots heard” in the area of Bohnett Park. Officers and detectives determined several rounds were fired from a handgun in the 1200 block of San Pascual Street. The incident rocked the neighborhood, including officials with the Boys & Girls Clubs. Jesse Gonzales, the director of the westside club, located at 602 Anapamu St., was upset enough that he showed up at the city council’s meeting six days later to voice his concerns about club members’ safety. He asked police to increase their neighborhood presence. The 16-year-old suspect, arrested hours after the shooting

occurred, remains locked up at the Santa Barbara County juvenile jail. A spokeswoman for County District Attorney Joyce Dudley declined to comment on the case because of the suspect’s age. “I do want to let you know that neither I nor any other source will provide information on a 16-year old suspect/defendant, as they are protected by the confidentiality of the juvenile system,” the spokeswoman wrote in a recent email to the News-Press. Multiple officers responded to the scene after the shooting and confirmed a firearm was discharged in the middle of the 1200 block of San Pascual Street in Santa Barbara, Sgt. Ethan Ragsdale, the police department’s public information officer, said at the time. No victims were located at the scene when officers arrived. Police believed several suspects might have been involved, and they remain at large, Sgt. Ragsdale said. He added that this seemed to be an isolated incident. The suspect was identified during the course of the investigation that followed the shooting. He is believed to be the one who fired the weapon at a vehicle during the incident, Sgt. Ragsdale said at the time. After the shooting, the juvenile and other possible suspects fled through Bohnett Park, Sgt. Ragsdale said. Detectives and officers went to the suspect’s residence in Santa Barbara County, where he ultimately was arrested. The teen was taken into custody without incident in the 3800 block of State Street just hours after the afternoon shooting. Police withheld his name because of his age. Armed with a search warrant, detectives collected evidence at the suspect’s home where they located a handgun and ammunition, Sgt. Ragsdale said. He noted that the handgun they

recovered was a polymer, nonserialized “ghost gun.” The 16-year-old suspect was later booked on suspicion of attempted murder (a felony), assault with a deadly weapon (a felony) and brandishing a firearm (a misdemeanor). No injuries from the victim(s) were reported to police. Chief Arroyo declined Thursday

to release any further details regarding the shooting or the case against the 16-year-old defendant. “It continues to be an ongoing investigation as well as (having) the involvement of the Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s office,” she said, calling the shooting “horrible.” email: nhartstein@newspress.com

Water Board yet to deliver $1 billion in planned grants while nearly 1 million drink unsafe water By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – Though taxpayers have poured hundreds of millions of dollars into ensuring safe drinking water, a scathing audit said nearly a million Californians are deprived of just that due to the State Water Board’s “lack of urgency” in providing aid. Acting State Auditor Michael Tilden blasted the State Water Resources and Control Board for taking an average of 33 months to assist areas with failing water systems when the approval process was only 17 months five years ago. As a result, nearly 1 million Californians receive unsafe drinking water from failing systems and are waiting years for assistance, the audit notes. In December 2021, the State Water Board classified more than 370 water systems serving 920,000 people as failing “because they exceeded the maximum contaminant levels for safe drinking water.” Of these, 240 have been failing for at least three years, and 150 have been failing for five years, according to the state auditor. The audit, released Tuesday, notes that the State Water Board “has funding available to help these failing systems improve the quality of their drinking water” but has not prioritized processing applications. Between July 2016 and December 2021, the State Water Board awarded $1.7 billion in loans and grant funding for water infrastructure projects, and roughly half

of all loans and grants were awarded to systems “serving disadvantaged or severely disadvantaged populations.” In the 2021-2022 fiscal year, $1.4 billion in state and federal dollars was made available for drinking water programs, according to the audit. Of that, $650 million came from the state’s general fund for drinking water project grants, well as $330 million came from the Safe Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (funded by federal and state dollars), $240 million from state general obligation bonds to provide grants and loans for water projects and $130 million came from the Safe and Affordable Drinking Water Fund. Mr. Tilden wrote that the State Water Board’s “lack of goals and metrics for its application process” has caused a longer time frame for applications to be processed. “The longer the board takes to fund projects, the more expensive those projects become,” Mr. Tilden wrote. “More importantly, delays increase the likelihood of negative health outcomes for Californians served by the failing water systems.” During the past fiscal year, the water board provided $3.3 billion in assistance to communities for water projects addressing water resilience, the drought and access to safe drinking water, according to a news release. Of that, about 90% of the assistance took the form of loans for water resilience and drinking water projects. “This past fiscal year, the board provided $984 million, including $118 million through

the SAFER program, to advance access to safe and clean drinking water throughout the state,” according to the State Water Board’s news release. During fiscal year 2022/2023, the State Water Board told The Center Square that it has “approximately $1.07 billion in grant funding and $330 million in loan financing available to assist community water systems and domestic well communities to address their most critical drinking water project needs.” To address the issues outlined in the audit, the state auditor recommended the State Water Board streamline its application process and develop a way to fast-track urgent projects. The auditor also recommends the Legislature increase oversight over the board by amending state law to require the board to express its “timeliness goals” and performance in an annual expenditure report. In response to the audit, the State Water Board acknowledged the need for certain improvements and agreed with the auditor’s conclusion that the board should work to streamline the application process. However, the State Water Board pushed back on the audit’s assertion that the board lacked urgency in delivering aid. The water board said that since 2019, the population of people impacted by failing water systems shrunk from 1.6 million to 934,000 after the board made “substantial progress” in its Safe and Affordable Funding for Equity and Resilience (SAFER) Program, which aims to provide safe drinking water.

Recession? GDP shows 2nd consecutive quarter of negative growth By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – U.S. gross domestic product decreased by 0.9% in the second quarter of 2022, according to new data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, signaling the start of an economic recession in the U.S. “The decrease in real GDP reflected decreases in private inventory investment, residential fixed investment, federal government spending, state and local government spending, and nonresidential fixed investment that were partly offset by increases in exports and personal consumption expenditures...” the BEA said Thursday. Economists have warned for months that a second consecutive quarter of negative GDP growth would officially signal the U.S. has entered a recession. GDP also shrank in the first quarter of 2022, by 1.6%. In anticipation of these numbers, the White House in recent days has insisted there is no recession, questioning the standard definition of two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. “As Secretary [Janet] Yellen said on Sunday, two negative quarters of GDP growth is not the technical definition of recession,” Brian Deese, President Biden’s director of National Economic Council, told reporters this week. “It’s not the definition that economists have traditionally relied on.” Critics blasted the Biden administration, arguing it was reframing the data for political purposes.

“Question: Out of the past 10 times the U.S. economy has experienced two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth, how many times was a recession officially declared?” Michael Strain, director of Economic Policy Studies and senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, wrote on Twitter. “Answer: 10.” Notably, Google’s dictionary in conjunction with Oxford Languages defines recession as “a period of temporary economic decline during which trade and industrial activity are reduced, generally identified by a fall in GDP in two successive quarters.” Despite pushback from critics, the White House has continued to argue the definition of recession. “But from the President’s perspective, putting that technical question aside, the most important question economically is whether working people and middle-class families have more breathing room, they have more job opportunities, their wages are growing up — going up in a — in a stable way, and they’re able to afford the important things in their lives…” he added. But 41-year high inflation has surpassed wage growth. Those concerns have been top of mind for Americans as gas prices hit record highs last month before dipping down, though gas prices still are at levels much higher than the same time last year. Meanwhile, the latest federal inflation data showed consumer prices rose 9.1% in the previous twelve months while the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ producer price index rose 11.3% in the same time.

Activation of desalination plant shores up SB water supply WATER

Continued from Page A1 In the 1980s, Santa Barbara primarily received its water from just three sources: Lake Cachuma, the Gibraltar Reservoir and local groundwater. Since then, the city has expanded its water portfolio to now include locally recycled water, supply from the California State Water Project and desalination. The 2017 reactivation of the Charles E. Meyer Desalination Plant, located at 525 E. Yanonali St. in Santa Barbara, has played a key role in shoring up the city’s water supplies. Originally operating for just four months between March and June of 1992, the plant was placed into a long-term standby mode after abundant rainfall levels eased the city out of its water crisis that began in the late 1980s. Faced with persisting drought conditions, the Santa Barbara City Council voted unanimously in 2015 to update and reactivate the plant at a cost of $72 million. Desalinated water began entering the city’s water system in May

This current photo shows Lake Cachuma, which is Santa Barbara County’s largest reservoir and is a primary water source for Santa Barbara, Goleta, Montecito and Carpinteria.

2017, and today produces enough water to satisfy 30% of Santa Barbara’s annual water demand. Water brought in through ocean desalination can also be stored for later use in the Lake Cachuma reservoir. Going forward, the city is considering a number of steps to secure water supplies from continued and worsening drought

conditions. Among them are optimizing and expanding existing water recycling infrastructure, constructing a pipeline to carry water pumped from the Alameda Well to the Ortega Groundwater Treatment Plant, increasing water conservation rebates and resources, commencing additional groundwater pumping, and working with the Central Coast

Water Authority to purchase up to 2,000 acre feet of supplemental water. The city is also in the process of implementing automated water metering infrastructure, which will provide customers with hourly rather than monthly meter reads. “This more timely information, along with daily patterns of use, will greatly facilitate our customers’ ability to identify and address leaks, thereby helping to avoid billing surprises and reducing water lost due to leaks,” city water officials said in an email to the News-Press. Santa Barbara officials plan to continue to update residents on the current water shortage alert and the city’s ongoing efforts through news releases, weekly and quarterly e-newsletters, messages and inserts in customers’ water bills. The city is also partnering with organizations to educate residents on conservation opportunities. For more information, go to santabarbaraca.gov/water. email: jdaniels@newspress.com

Celebration for centenarian

Florence Russell’s artwork on display around town By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

COURTESY IMAGES

Florence “Fi Fi” Russell, who recently turned 100, painted this image of sailboats. Her birthday is being celebrated with her paintings on display through Sunday at various Santa Barbara, Goleta and Montecito galleries.

Florence “Fi Fi” Russell has created paintings that reflect her travels to more than 25 countries.

month-long tribute to honor the 100th birthday of Florence “Fi Fi” Russell ends Sunday at 10 galleries and venues around town, where the original artwork of the longtime arts educator, watercolorist and world traveler has been on display during July. “We’re celebrating her spunky, creative, adventurous spirit,” said Rita Ferri, a curator and arts advocate who organized the exhibition with Larry Iwerks, well-known local artist. Ms. Russell’s birthday celebration was held July 24, her actual birthday, at Mr. Iwerks’s studio on Weldon Road in Santa Barbara. Her paintings reflect images of her travels to more than 25 countries — sketching along the Seine in Paris, the valley of temples in Myanmar, public markets in Mexico, bustling Greek harbors and bucolic barnyard scenes. “She captured daily scenes repeated around the world with a fresh sense of color and an eye for composition,” said Ms. Ferri. “She said her goal has always been to make painting sing.” Ms. Russell came to Santa Barbara as a child when her father became a physician and psychiatrist for Stanley McCormick at Riven Rock in Montecito. In the early 1950s, she pioneered bringing arts education to Southern California museums and schools. After retirement, she came back to Santa Barbara to continue a life of volunteerism, travel and art. Her artistic talent is on display through Sunday in Santa Barbara at Corridan Gallery, 125 N. Milpas St.; 10 West Gallery, 10 W. Anapamu St.; Gallery 113, 1114 State St. #8; La Cumbre Center for the Creative Arts, 121 S. Hope Ave.; Larry Iwerks Studio Gallery, 958 Weldon Road; Santa Barbara Art Association in the Faulkner Gallery in Santa Barbara Public Library, 40 E. Anapamu St.; and Santa Barbara Fine Art Gallery, 1321 State St. Her art is also being shown through Sunday at the Goleta Valley Art Association in the Goleta Valley Library, 500 N. Fairview Ave. Goleta, and the Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art, 955 La Paz Road, Montecito. One of her 1942 ceramic sculptures is also on display at Clay Studio, 1351 Holiday Hill Road, Goleta. email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

California landscapes at Los Olivos gallery

LOS OLIVOS — “The Romance of Landscape,” an exhibit of new works by Central Coast artists Sheryl Knight and Linda Mutti, will grace a Los Olivos gallery in August. The paintings of California scenery will be on display 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily Aug. 1-31 at Gallery Los Olivos, 2920 Grand Ave. The artists are friends who have been painting together for more than a decade. They have created art on linen and paper, using media such as plein air painting with pastels, oils and gouache. Ms. Knight is an awardwinning plein air artist and is a signature member of American Women Artists, National Oil and Acrylics Painters Society, Women Artists of the West and Outdoor Painters Society. Among her works in the August exhibit is “Harmony,” an oil on linen. “I have always loved the little town of Harmony on Highway One that you drive through on the way to Cambria. A couple of weeks ago we were driving to Cambria late in the

afternoon,” Ms. Knight said. “I noticed how tall the eucalyptus trees behind the little building had gotten since the last time I painted them. I felt inspired to paint them again in a fresh new way with a palette knife.” Ms. Mutti is an awardwinning distinguished pastelist member of the Pastel Society of the West Coast, a signature member of the Pastel Society of America and an artist member of the California Art Club. She was accepted for an apprenticeship with internationally acclaimed muralist John Pugh. Ms. Mutti finds inspiration from her surroundings. “I was driving up the coast one morning and this scene caught my eye. I’ve seen it many times before but this time I just had to stop, the light was so beautiful,” said Ms. Mutti, who shows the moment with “Dinosaur Caves,” her pastel on canvas.

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.

who helps you get up. LIBRA — There’s a great deal of fuel to keep your fire raging today, Libra. Powerful situations are apt to come your way in which you’re asked to take decisive action. Don’t shy away from added responsibility. Your ego is very strong, which helps you take charge of any situation. Just make sure that you don’t step on anyone’s toes in the process. SCORPIO — Remember that one wrong move today could cause you to have a headache for a good long while, Scorpio. Don’t take uncalculated risks. There’s dynamism and confidence in the air, and even though you may be tempted to step off the ledge, think twice about doing so. Keep your parachute handy. SAGITTARIUS — It’s a long road to becoming exactly the person you want to be, Sagittarius. You can’t change who you are. Input from every person you know and lessons from every bump in the road contribute to who you are as a person. Be proud of yourself, but also realize that there’s a great deal more internal development that needs to be done. CAPRICORN — You should always leave a loved one with loving words, Capricorn. Each time you exit a room, consider that you’re never going to enter that room again. Perhaps you’ll never see those people again. Make sure you take care of the people you like. People might need extra attention today to feel appreciated and important to you. AQUARIUS — Just when you think you have absolutely no energy left, you’re able to kick into a higher gear. Push beyond your limits today, Aquarius. You’ll find that you can achieve a great deal more than you thought. All you need to do is have confidence in yourself and try. You have a lot of dynamic power on your side. PISCES — Regardless of how you feel today, Pisces, it’s important to own up to your mistakes. Keep in mind that you’re responsible for your actions. No matter how much you might want to shrink away, it’s important to stand up and admit your weaknesses. Take bold action today in which you command control of the situation and hold yourself responsible for the consequences.

ARIES — There’s an important lesson to learn today, Aries, so don’t shy away from the classroom. It’s important to control your attitude now or it’s likely to control you. It could be that your ego is a bit too inflated. You may end up turning people away if you aren’t aware of how your actions affect them. Or it could be that you need to change your approach. TAURUS — Consider the romantic relationships in your life right now, Taurus. It’s important to remember that regardless of how hot and steamy a partnership is at first, it’s vitally important that there be something to replace that attraction once the initial romance wears off. Build your relationships from the ground up. GEMINI — Today is your day to become a hero, Gemini. You don’t have to be dressed in fancy tights and a cape to make an important difference in someone’s life. Step up to the plate even if it isn’t your turn at bat. True heroes are the ones who are able to do what needs to be done when necessary, regardless of the circumstances. CANCER — There’s a great deal of fun to be had today, Cancer. Money isn’t always necessary to make this happen, however. In fact, money isn’t a great way to keep score. Consider the sacrifices you make each time you strive to earn more cash. There’s a dynamic feeling in the air today that’s asking you to expand your mind in order to consider other ways to have fun. LEO — Remember that the important thing isn’t necessarily what you’re doing but the people you’re with, Leo. There’s a great deal of passion in the air today that you can latch onto and put to good use. Have fun and remember to smile. You can make a great deal of progress toward your goals as long as you stay motivated. Connect with others and feel the strength of shared resources. VIRGO — You could learn a tough lesson today, Virgo. More than likely, the harder the message hits you, the more important it was for you to hear. It’s important that you accept failure gracefully. It could be that the one who kicks you when you’re down will also be the one

SANTA BARBARA COUNTY ZONING ADMINISTRATOR JUL 29 / 2022 -- 58538

Project Description and Purpose: The proposed Delta Conveyance Project would modernize the State Water Project (SWP) water transport infrastructure in the Delta by adding new facilities on the Sacramento River in the north Delta to divert water and upgrading the current system to include a single tunnel to divert and move water entering the north Delta from the Sacramento Valley watershed to existing SWP facilities in the south Delta. If approved, these updates would ensure climate resiliency and the reliability of the state’s largest source of safe, affordable, and clean water for 27 million Californians, 750,000 acres of farmland, and continued support for local water supply projects, such as local storage, recycling, groundwater recharge, and water quality management. The Delta is the center of California’s vital water distribution system and a critical link in how water is moved to all parts of the state. However, the infrastructure that moves this water through the Delta is outdated and at risk of failure due to sea level rise and seismic activity. The infrastructure updates proposed as part of the Delta Conveyance Project would give DWR the ﬂexibility to capture, move, and store water – consistent with all regulatory requirements – when it becomes available for use when supplies may otherwise be limited. The Delta Conveyance Project Draft EIR evaluates 8 alternatives in addition to the proposed project and a no project alternative, which describes likely conditions if the Delta Conveyance Project is not implemented. Where to Review: The Draft EIR is available for public review via the following ways: s Project Website: www.deltaconveyanceproject.com s In-Person: CA Department of Water Resources, 3500 Industrial Blvd., Room 117, West Sacramento, CA 95691 Documents incorporated by reference in the Draft EIR are also available here. s In-Person: At libraries throughout the state.
