The first full Old Spanish Days Fiesta since 2019 wrapped-up on Sunday with event organizers expressing their pleasure at how things turned out for the event’s post-COVID debut. “I’m just so thrilled that we’re

back and we couldn’t be happier with the festival, it was just amazing,” La Presidente Maria Cabrera said in an interview with the News-Press. “We’re extremely happy, everyone did their part. The community showed up, Old Spanish Days directors took care of their venues, the police were there for us — we were just all

there for each other.” David Bolton, who served as this year’s El Primer Vice Presidente, estimated that Friday’s Historic Parade alone brought in around 80,000 attendees; indicating that attendance throughout the week likely met or exceeded Old Spanish Day’s initial estimate that over 100,000 event goers would

descend on the city to join the celebrations. “The Mercados were full, the rodeo was full, the arts and crafts shows were busy, the Noches de Ronda were fantastic and were full,” Ms. Cabrera told the NewsPress. “We actually rode on the float back (after the parade) and it Please see FIESTA on A4

(The Center Square) – A sweeping tax, climate and health care bill passed by the U.S. Senate on Sunday won praise from both of California’s senators as it now advances to the U.S. House of Representatives. The bill, dubbed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, includes $740 billion in new spending that aims to curb the impacts of climate change and would allow the government to control the price of prescription medications, as reported by The Center Square. No Republicans voted for the bill in the 50-50 Senate, leaving Vice President Kamala Harris to cast the tie-breaking vote in favor of the bill. The U.S. House of Representatives is expected to take up the bill later this week. The bill includes billions of spending that aims to lower the costs of prescription drugs for Medicare beneficiaries, address drought resiliency, support clean energy projects and incentivize consumers to switch to electric appliances in their homes. The bill also includes a minimum 15% corporate tax rate for some of the nation’s largest corporations. Specifically, the bill would cap

out-of-pocket health care costs at $2,000 a year for California’s 6.5 million Medicare beneficiaries and cap insulin at $35 a month for those enrolled in Medicare, according to a fact sheet from the office of U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla, D-California. Additionally, the bill requires Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices annually starting in 2023, a measure federal lawmakers say will help lower prescription drug prices for those enrolled in Medicare. “The Inflation Reduction Act will bring down the cost of lifesaving medications, because no one should have to choose between affording health care or paying their rent or mortgage,” Sen. Padilla said in a statement Sunday. The bill also extends federal health care subsidies enacted during the pandemic, which Sen. Padilla’s office estimates has helped 1.8 million Californians retain and access insurance coverage. “Without an extension of these premium subsidies, an estimated 220,000 Californians could be priced out of coverage, and nearly one million lowincome Californians would see their premium costs double,” according to Sen. Padilla’s office. Please see SENATORS on A3

SBCC Athletics announces upcoming Hall of Fame celebrations, 2022 HoF Class SBCC SPORTS WRITER

The Santa Barbara City College Athletics Department is proud to announce the newest class of the SBCC Vaqueros Hall of Fame, which will be honored alongside the 2020 and 2021 Vaquero Hall of Fame inductees at the SBCC football season opener on Sept. 3 against Allan Hancock. The 2022 class includes former SBCC football head coach Carmen DiPoalo, the 1982 SBCC Football Team, and the state champion 2006 SBCC Women’s Golf Team. “It is always a special moment in time when we get the chance to stop and honor the accomplishments of those who have defined athletic excellence in our programs,” Director of Athletics LaDeane Hansten said. “Please join us on this special day as we celebrate our inductees.” The induction celebration will include a halftime recognition of all the honorees as well as a postgame reception on the second level of the Sports Pavilion Patio. For more information on the 2022 SBCC Athletic Hall of Fame Induction Celebration, click here. For any questions, please contact Ashley Farias at amfarias1@sbcc. edu.

HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES Carmen DiPoalo SBCC football owes much of its historical success to the tireless efforts of coach Carmen DiPoalo, whose 40-year coaching career ended on a high note in 2002 when his Vaqueros defeated a strong Bakersfield team 23-22 in the final game of the regular season. The win saw SBCC finish the year undefeated at home while clinching its first winning season in years and its best finish since DiPoalo took over as head coach in 2000. DiPoalo’s final win came more than three decades after his coaching career began at Clovis High School, the place where he initially teamed up with his friend and mentor Bob Dinaberg.

The two reunited at SBCC in 1970 where DiPoalo was named the Vaqueros’ Defensive Coordinator, a position he held for a total of 18 years. During that time, SBCC won several Western State Conference Championships, was ranked the No. 1 defense in the state in 1979, and appeared in two state playoffs and eight bowl games, including the prestigious 1991 Potato Bowl. His coaching resume doesn’t end there, also including multiple AllState and All-American selections and the 1969 Channel League Championship with Hueneme High School. He was also extremely impressive as an athlete himself, beginning with a three-year varsity career in both football and baseball at Monrovia, where he earned MVP and All-CIF football honors in 1957 and went on to be named Citrus College’s Most Outstanding Athlete in 1959. His playing career culminated with perhaps its greatest highlight in 1962, when he competed on the 1962 UCLA Rose Bowl Team. Tim Tremblay Tim Tremblay attended SBCC from September of 1971 through December of 1972, and those three semesters helped shape SBCC Athletics as well as his personal life. He was a key member of Bob Dinaberg’s powerful football teams of the early 1970s and served as team captain in his final year as a Vaquero. In Tremblay’s two seasons for the Vaqueros, the team compiled a record of 18-3 and Tim was named an All-Conference lineman. After starring for SBCC, he received a full athletics scholarship to continue his career at Wake Forest, choosing the Demon Deacons over 13 other major colleges who were in competition for his services. At Wake Forest, Tremblay started as an offensive guard for two seasons in the highly competitive Atlantic Coast Conference. He even received Offensive Player of the Week honors for Wake Forest – a rarity for an offensive linemen – after a Demon Deacons win over South

Carolina. While his athletic success at SBCC was formidable, Tremblay counts an off-field moment as his most memorable at SBCC. It was while he was an athlete here that he met his wife Marcia, who was a cheerleader for the Vaqueros. He and Marcia have been married for 47 years and have three children: Troy, Vanessa and Gisele. The son of Max and Dorothy Tremblay, Tim is also a proud alum of Bishop Diego High School, where he was a standout athlete. He is known to many as the founder and President of Tremblay Financial Services in Santa Barbara. Since leaving SBCC, Tremblay has remained an ardent supporter of Vaquero athletics and can still be seen attending and supporting many SBCC events. Kathy O’Connor The first two classes of the SBCC Vaqueros Hall of Fame included four Vaquero pioneers of women’s intercollegiate athletics, but Kathy O’Connor is the true pioneer of women’s sports at SBCC. It was O’Connor who started the women’s sports programs in the mid-1970’s when she founded and coached the school’s women’s volleyball team. The current SBCC women’s sports programs are among the most successful in the state and none of that would have been possible without her leadership and vision. A former SBCC student, O’Connor began working at SBCC as an adjunct professor in 1973 and remains a physical education instructor and head of the Physical Education for the department. She is active on many committees on campus and is very visible in the community. Most notably, O’Connor cofounded the Santa Barbara Equine Assistance and Evacuation Team in 1990, a special unit that assists in evacuating and caring for large animals during fires and other disasters. Dave Loveton Dave Loveton was an awardwinning Sports Information

Specialist for Santa Barbara City College for 15 years, beginning in 2006 after 24 years as a sportswriter for the Santa Barbara News-Press. During his time at SBCC, Loveton transformed the Sports Information Department and adapted with the times. As schools started to utilize websites and social media, Dave was always sure SBCC was a leader in those areas. He built the SBCC Athletics website into an award-winning publication. Dave was a champion for thousands of students during his tenure at SBCC and treated all athletes and coaches equally – like they were stars. Dave grew up in Glendale, Calif. and played basketball at Glendale High School and Glendale Community College before attending UCSB from 1979-1981. He was the sole member of the SBCC Vaqueros Hall of Fame Class of 2021 and was also a finalist for the 2018 Brass Top Award, given to the top Sports Information Director in the state. Dave felt, and we would have to agree, that he had the best office in the entire country – the press box at La Playa Stadium. 1982 Football Team Head coach Bob Dinaberg and defensive coordinator Carmen DiPoalo had quite a run leading the SBCC football program together for many years. Perhaps no year was more exceptional than the 1982 season though, which ended with the Vaqueros defeating LA Harbor in the Lions Mission Bowl Championship Game for their first ever bowl game victory. SBCC started the season reasonably well, coming out of the gates with a 3-2 record. Led on offense by players like quarterback Greg Tipton, wide receiver Craig Dell, tight end Rick Trigueiro and offensive linemen John McClure and Andy DeMarcus, the Vaqueros would get hot, winning five straight games to end the year with an 8-2 mark. The two losses totaled a scoring differential of just five points. However, a stacked defensive

Applications open to fill vacant seat on Santa Barbara County Board of Education By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara County Board of Education is seeking applications from residents interested in being appointed to the Trustee Area 2 seat currently vacant due to the mid-term resignation of former trustee, Dr. Peter MacDougall. The deadline to submit an application and resume is 5 p.m. Aug. 17. The Santa Barbara County Board of

Education sets board policy, approves the Santa Barbara County Education Office budget, approves the SBCEO Local Control and Accountability Plan and serves as an appeals board for inter-district transfer requests, student expulsions and charter school applications.

unit boasting the likes of defensive linemen Joe Jones, Yaron Lerer, and Mark Olson, linebackers Mark Brown and Mark Crane, and defensive back Ernie Brown would prove that defense wins championships. DiPoalo’s steadfast crew allowed an average of just 11.5 points per game for the season, while recovering nine fumbles, picking off 18 passes and bringing in three defensive touchdowns. After losing in the Lions Mission Bowl in their first two appearances, the Vaqueros got their third shot against a strong LA Harbor team that entered the championship game with a near-perfect 8-1 record. Playing on their home field, all three of SBCC’s units were firing on all cylinders: special teams converted all six of its PAT and field goal attempts; the defense, playing against the No. 2 ranked offense in the nation, held Harbor’s best players well under their season averages; and Tipton threw for nearly 300 yards and four touchdowns on the way to winning the game’s Most Valuable Player award, securing what is, to this day, the lone bowl game win for SBCC football. 2006 Women’s Golf Team On November 13 and 14, 2006, the SBCC women’s golf team put together simply one of the most dominant championship performances ever. Led by Natalie Todd and Victoria Alimonda, the Vaqueros obliterated the field at the CCCAA State Championships, flying past State Runner-Up College of the Canyons by a

A dominant force from the start to the finish of the season, SBCC established itself as one of the premiere programs in the state of California. Todd would claim the State Champion Individual Title shooting a 73-72 (145), finishing just one stroke ahead of her teammate Alimonda, who carded a 73-73 (146). It was seemingly inevitable that the state title would end up in the hands of the Vaqueros, after they had posted a perfect 45-0 record during conference competition. They would first secure the WSC Championship before going on to win the SoCal Regional Tournament by 48 strokes. Alimonda and Amber Clifford, who had previously earned CoMVP awards in their senior year at Dos Pueblos High School, shared the honor of WSC CoPlayers of the Year. Todd, Alimonda, Clifford, Kristen Mulenburg, and Pearl Schuman all earned All-WSC First Team honors. The team also included Kristen Campos, Marlene Cokley and Lauren Ferguson. SBCC had made the state playoffs in each of the five previous seasons, but 2006 would be the first of four state championships (‘06, ‘08, ‘13, ‘15) under head coach Chuck Melendez.

In San Francisco, some cops and firefighters make nearly half a million a year By TOM GANTERT, ELYSE APEL and BRETT ROWLAND THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – An assistant chief of the fire department for the city of San Francisco made $458,223 in 2021, thanks in part to $193,883 in overtime as he led a group of 11 employees of the fire department who made more than $400,000 that year. One firefighter made $257,072 in overtime

and had a gross pay of $413,844 in 2021. A deputy sheriff made $296,652 in overtime in 2021 and had gross pay of $451,269. The city has increased the number of full-time employees in the police and fire departments from 2012 to 2021. The number of police department employees has increased 14% to 3,048 employees over that nine-year span and the fire department has 11% more FTEs from 2012 to 2021, according to budget documents. The city budgeted $374.4 million for the fire

Inflation Reduction Act criticized for raising taxes, failing on inflation By KEVIN BESSLER THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – As policymakers debate the so-called Inflation Reduction Act in Washington, many are saying claims of no tax hikes on the middle class are not true. The massive bill includes tax incentives to help with the transition to clean energy, health insurance reforms, and raises corporate taxes on some corporations that make over $1 billion annually, taxing corporate stock buybacks and funding the IRS to go after tax cheats. The proposed legislation does not include funding for many staples of Build Back Better, such as extended child tax credit payments, universal preschool or more affordable housing. During debate, Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin made a promise to the American people. “No one in America, no one earning less than $400,000 a year will see any increase in their taxes,” Sen. Durbin said. But the grassroots organization Americans for Prosperity disagrees and points to an analysis by the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) that shows the legislation would raise taxes. In 2023 alone, the JCT analysis shows that taxpayers earning less than $200,000 would pay $16.7 billion more in taxes, and taxpayers earning less than $500,000 would see a $30.8 billion increase. Jason Heffley, Illinois director

of the organization Americans for Prosperity, said the legislation has nothing to do with reducing inflation. “They all have these catchy names, but these bills get so big that rarely the language of the bills mirror the titles that they give them,” Mr. Heffley said. He points to the Penn Wharton Budget Model which said the impact on inflation is “statistically indistinguishable from zero.” Another sticking point being debated involves SALT caps. Current law allows taxpayers to deduct state and local taxes (SALT) paid from their gross income when they file federal tax returns. In 2017, President Trump’s tax overhaul capped how much filers can deduct in SALT taxes, up to $10,000, that would last until 2025. House Democrats who were pushing to lift the cap said they will support the legislation even without a provision lifting the SALT deduction cap. Mr. Heffley said the legislation would burden businesses and taxpayers while spending billions of dollars on failed health care policies and clean energy handouts. “The Democrats in Washington say they are passing the Inflation Reduction Act but really all we are getting is higher taxes and more IRS agents,” Mr. Heffley said. The Democrat-controlled House is expected to take up the legislation Friday, Aug. 12.

department and $563.5 million for the police department in 2021. But the city went over budget by $35.8 million in the fire department and by $9 million in the police department in 2021. The city spent $310 million on all overtime in 2021. The San Francisco mayor’s office didn’t immediately return an email asking for comment on the amount of overtime paid to the police and fire departments.

Alaska senators: ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ will hurt middle class By KIM JARRETT THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – A partisan bill called the “Inflation Relief Act” that is making its way through Congress will only hurt the middle class, U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, said Monday. The bill passed the Senate over the weekend after Vice President Kamala Harris broke a 50-50 tie. No Republicans supported the measure. Included in the $740 billion bill is a 15% minimum corporate tax and other tax increases, $30 billion in tax credits for green energy projects like solar panels and wind turbines, and other energy and health-care related expenses. “This is all a result of way too much spending and the unrelenting war on American energy being waged by this administration and congressional Democrats, who are beholden to radical left special interest groups,” Sen. Sullivan said in a statement. “This bill is loaded with more reckless spending, billions of dollars in taxes on hard-working Americans, and, of course, the radical left’s favorite policy – an attack on the American energy sector. The Schumer-Sanders bill is going to do more harm to our economy.” U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, said there was an

absolute lack of transparency in the bill. “The title of the Inflation Reduction Act is misleading, as early projections show it may actually add to inflation for the next several years,” Sen. Murkowski said in a statement. “It contains hundreds of billions of dollars in new spending, and hundreds of billions more in new taxes that will burden the American people and American businesses for years to come. Even floor debate – with amendment votes starting just before midnight on Saturday, and continuing through Sunday afternoon – was designed to avoid public awareness and scrutiny. While I don’t oppose everything within the bill, there is no doubt in my mind, based on both substance and process, that the Senate should not have passed it.” The Penn Wharton Budget Model estimates the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 will have very little impact on inflation. “We estimate that the Inflation Reduction Act will produce a very small increase in inflation for the first few years, up to 0.05 percent points in 2024,” the Penn Wharton report said. “We estimate a 0.25 percentage point fall in the PCE price index by the late 2020s. These point estimates, however, are Please see ALASKA on A4

The bill also includes nearly $13 billion to fund drought resiliency, wildfire prevention and habitat restoration, which includes $4 billion in drought funding to compensate farmers who reduce water usage, according to the office of U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein, DCalifornia.

There’s also more than $40 billion in tax credits included to build new facilities for clean technology and “accelerate the domestic production of solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, and critical minerals processing,” according to Sen. Padilla’s office. Sen. Feinstein called the bill a “huge win for American families’’ in a statement on Sunday. Sen. Feinstein’s Affordable EV’s for Working Families Act is included in the bill, which would allow a tax credit of up to $4,000

I’m very lucky to have been a part of it. It’s given so many people pleasure.” The film produced a number of memorable musical numbers, with three of the biggest featuring Ms. Newton-John. She sang along with Mr. Travolta in the duets “You’re The One That I Want” and “Summer Nights,” as well as her solo song “Hopelessly Devoted To

You.” Born in Cambridge, England, in 1948, Ms. Newton-John moved with her family to Melbourne, Australia, when she was five. It was here that her performing career got started after winning a talent contest on “Sing, Sing, Sing,” a TV show. She later formed an all-girl group as a teenager and appeared on a weekly pop music program in Australia. Recording her first single in England in 1966, her major introduction to American audiences came in 1973, when “Let Me Be There” hit the top ten on both the adult contemporary and country charts. She followed that up with a number of No. 1

Fiesta planners navigated multiple unknowns in 2022 FIESTA

Continued from Page A1 was like another parade because people stayed to check things out!” “There were more blankets at the Rose Garden and at the grass area for the Mission than I’ve ever seen (for Wednesday night’s La Fiesta Pequeña),” she added. Leading up to the week of events, Ms. Cabrera and other event organizers expressed apprehension to the News-Press about the many unknowns they were dealing with when preparing for this year’s festivities, particularly with the parade route being moved from State Street to Cabrillo Boulevard due to COVIDera restaurant parklets that the City is still grappling over how to deal with going forward. “Because we’re coming out of COVID, you can’t just say ‘this is exactly how it’s going to be,’ because there are things you just don’t know,” Ms. Cabrera said. “Our biggest concern was are we going to have people show up to the parade. But early in the week when we made an agreement with the City to set up free trolleys so people could park downtown and take them to the parade, that was a game changer for me. As soon as that was done I went ‘okay, they’re coming. People are going to come.’” Already looking ahead to next year and Fiesta’s 100-year anniversary in 2024, Ms. Cabrera told the News-Press that one of her top priorities was to bring more people into the Old Spanish Days board of directors to ensure a full board, which she says the

organization currently lacks. However, she’s approaching that mission and others with a renewed sense of determination and conviction following the success of this year’s celebrations.

“For me personally — because of my trust in God — I believe I’m here because of Him, and He took care of things,” she explained at the end of our interview. “There were moments (during this year’s

Fiesta) when I was like ‘what am I doing here?’ But He doesn’t give us more than we can handle, and that faith is even stronger now.” email: jdaniels@newspress.com

Sensational sushi Japanese master chefs helm new restaurant at Rosewood Miramar Beach

AMA Sushi, which recently opened at Rosewood Miramar Beach in Montecito, features a wide array of dishes, including an extensive Nigiri and Sashimi list.

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Inspired by the legacy of Japanese free divers, AMA Sushi has opened at Rosewood Miramar Beach in Montecito. The restaurant, which derives its name from the valiant women who swam the ocean to collect fresh seafood for their villages, is helmed by Executive Chef Kentaro Ikuta who hails from Osaka, where he refined his craft before moving to California, spending the last 13 years at Michelin-starred omakase concepts. Chef Ikuta is joined by Chef de Cuisine Scott Yonamine, who was most recently in Tokyo at Musashi Sushi, and Sushi Chef Wendy Ramos from Southern California’s renowned Nobu Malibu. “I am thrilled to bring almost 30 years of experience in the traditional Edomae school to this special region of California, famous for its pristine seafood and the perfect home for a seasonal expression of Japanese fine dining,” said Chef Ikuta. AMA Sushi can be experienced a la carte or as an omakase meal, allowing for an exchange of trust and spontaneity between guest and chef. The menu features a selection of zensai (appetizers) such as Namagaki Oysters and Tamago Tofu with Local Uni; salads and usuzkuri (thinly sliced sashimi); agemono (fried foods) including a variety of tempura and chicken karaage; and yakimono courses, grilled over Binchotan Charcoal, ranging from Hokkaido Scallops to Miyazaki A5 Wagyu Ribeye. Anchored in an extensive nigiri and sashimi list, the menu highlights Santa Barbara’s offerings alongside the seafood selected from Toyosu Fish Market in Tokyo’s Kōtō Ward. The wild-caught and sustainable ingredients will also be available as simply prepared hand and

FYI AMA Sushi is open daily for dinner from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. (10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday). For reservations and additional information, call 805-900-8388, visit www.rosewoodhotels. com/en/miramar-beachmontecito/dining/ama-sushi or follow @amasushimiramar.

cut rolls or uramaki (inside out) rolls that introduce non-classical sauces and flavors. In keeping with local and Japanese seasonality, a selection of featured fish will rotate seasonally. Highlights include Abalone, Chu-Toro (tuna belly), Shime-Saba (marinated mackerel), Buri Yellowtail and Uni from Hokkaido and local purveyors. Curated by the resort’s Director of Wine Daniel Fish, the AMA Sushi wine list champions both California producers and emerging winemakers from Europe, alongside an extensive sake list. Highlights include Kojima Sohonten Brewery, one of the oldest breweries in Japan, as well as two selections from Niizawa Brewery in Miyagi: Reikyo “Absolute 0” Junmai Daiginjo and Sankyo “Super 7” Junmai Daiginjo. The restaurant’s cocktail program, designed by Nils Schabert, director of bars, celebrates the Japanese nuanced but unfussy approach to craft drinks made with passion and precision. Mr. Schabert handpicked more than 30 varieties of Japanese whiskies for a comprehensive beverage offering. Highlights include Hinode, served Tokyo Kaikan Style with a king cube in an edged coupe with mezcal joven, pineapple liqueur, acidified dry vermouth, black lemon bitters, sparkling sake and kinome; and Tsumiki, a coconut infused sake-based cocktail served in a traditional ceramic cup with mandarin essence, banana liqueur, dry vermouth and roasted nori. Zero proof cocktails include Kaizen, a carbonated cold brew genmaicha with pandan lime reduction and strawberry, with a citrusy popcorn aroma and aftertaste of roasted brown rice. Designed in partnership with innovative design firm AvroKO, the restaurant’s interiors bring the storied history of the Ama divers to life, seamlessly blending a minimalist Japanese aesthetic with the resort’s signature coastal style. The blue ombre plaster ceiling mimics water rippling through the sea, a contrast to the dark American oak paneled walls inspired by fisherman huts in Japan. Pearlescent white onyx is set against a black granite chef’s counter in the room’s bold centerpiece — a magnificent scalloped sushi bar. Thoughtful

nods to Japanese heritage throughout the space include a custom chandelier featuring layers of sheer linen stretched over intricate brass detailing, representing the garments worn by Ama divers that were believed to protect them from harm. On the restaurant’s intimate terrace, al fresco California evenings can be enjoyed under glittering lanterns strung throughout lush, leafy foliage alongside the resort’s koi pond. “Sushi-yas (restaurants that specialize in sushi) are an inextricable part of California’s food culture, and we are honored to bring our version to life with AMA Sushi. Chef Ikuta’s expertise and meticulous attention to detail along with our renowned brand of five-star service will make for a truly memorable sushi adventure,” said Massimo Falsini, director of culinary operations for Rosewood Miramar Beach. email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

‘Dunes: Visions of Sand, Light & Shadow by Bob Canepa’ opens Sept. 10 at Wildling Museum By MARILYN MCMAHON

aking a difference in the world or in other people’s lives will make yours better as well. Today, lending your physical and emotional support to charitable groups or organizations you believe in is as important as making a financial donation. Simply “liking” your cause on Facebook or sending a Tweet will raise awareness, which can only help. It will also make your friends aware of what you support and believe in. Think of it as giving a click to show you care. For some people, working with animals is a total joy. Most animal shelters thrive on volunteers and have training for new ones several times a year. I know a number of people whose lives have changed for the better because they’ve taken this opportunity to help their four-legged friends. Most who volunteer there would rather spend a day at the shelter than at the beach. Hey, if you get that much from something, do it as often as you can. There are also amazing service organizations, like Rotary International. Even though you can’t just walk in and volunteer (you have to join, go to weekly meetings, and pay dues as well as help others), Rotary has done amazing work, and their members have contributed greatly to the eradication of polio. Rotarians go to many poor countries volunteering a variety of services, which include providing basic needs of living along with medical assistance. You or your own family can make a powerful difference closer to home. A friend saw one family cleaning up unwanted graffiti on a nearby building, so did others, and now there are no tags to be found anywhere in the neighborhood. Such action shows pride in your neighborhood. If you feel similarly about where

The Wildling Museum of Art and Nature’s new Valley Oak Gallery exhibition, “Dunes: Visions of Sand, Light & Shadow,” featuring works by photographer Bob Canepa, will open Sept.10 at 1511-B Mission Drive in Solvang and close March 27. The public is invited to attend a reception from 3 to 5 p.m. Oct. 9 at the museum, which will also celebrate the opening of “Wildlife on the Edge: Hilary Baker.” The unique terrain of the Oceano Dunes has served as a wealth of inspiration for Mr.Canepa, who has visited these dunes weekly for years. He has surveyed these weathersculpted dunes from a range of perspectives, always finding something new in the shifting landscape. Accompanying the exhibition will be educational information on native flora and fauna found within the dunes of the Central Coast with plant and animal photography by Marlin Harms.

you live, and you see where someone has defaced public or private property, go ahead and grab a bucket and brush to make your neighborhood attractive again. It will feel great. I promise. If you want to have a personal impact on the lives of others in need, and you want to see the results of your giving, find one person or family who needs your help. I know of many families who do “holiday adoptions” of those who otherwise would not have the means to celebrate the holidays with their loved ones. The gift of warmth you receive in return is indescribable. I have done this over the years and find the opportunity really shows me what the season of giving is all about. Giving money or material items is great when you can do it, but if that isn’t practical right now, your time or professional expertise can be a wonderful thing to offer. You can truly help others who have fallen on hard times or need some direction in their lives. Many professionals offer pro bono hours to those who cannot afford to pay. This means offering your time, treasure, and talent to make the world, including your own, a better place. Try it.

As it happens, East can’t ruff, and South discards a spade and loses only one more trick. If East had a diamond left, or if he had a trump left and ruffed the jack of diamonds, South would be no worse off. He could ruff (or overruff) and try leading a spade to dummy’s ten.

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.

Libra: Some important plans, perhaps involving a vacation or education, could be temporarily blocked by circumstances beyond your control, Libra. This can make you upset and might even set your temper on edge. You may be tempted to take out your frustrations on others. It would be more productive - and challenging - to find ways to make your plans work, even if they’re delayed. Scorpio: A letter or call could arrive today bringing upsetting news about money, Scorpio. Your first reaction might be to blame yourself or someone else, but the circumstances are probably beyond anyone’s control. Chances are it can be set right. Before anyone gets too upset, it’s best to investigate and find out what needs to be done. Sagittarius: Jealousy could rear its ugly head today, Sagittarius. This could involve a romantic relationship. Jealousy is often groundless, so avoid it by doing some communicating. This is the time to make the effort to turn a disadvantage into an advantage. Strong emotions can work for you under some circumstances. Capricorn: Nervous tension could cause a temporary malaise that keeps your energy very low today. But there are tasks that need to be done, Capricorn, so you’ll probably try to do them in spite of the way you feel. Try not to overwork yourself or take your weariness out on others. It’s better to let some things go than make yourself and everyone else that much more stressed out. Aquarius: A group with which you’re affiliated may be temporarily torn apart by quarrels among its members, Aquarius. It’s best to stay out of it. A friend could be having trouble and come to you for advice and help. Don’t let yourself get too frustrated by his or her weakness. Pisces: Changes taking place in your home could cause some temporary frustration tense nerves on the part of family members, Pisces. Perhaps you’re moving or refurnishing or trying to do a thorough cleaning and everyone is getting into everyone else’s way. Just try to get the job done as quickly as possible.

HOROSCOPE

At the door to Traffic Court in a small town, a sign admonishes those about to enter: “Why complain? Think of all the tickets you deserved but didn’t get.” Against today’s six hearts, West led the jack of clubs. South put up dummy’s ace, led a trump to his hand and cashed the A-K of diamonds. He went to the queen of trumps and discarded his last club on the queen of diamonds. Declarer next led a spade from dummy: deuce, king, three. He then drew the missing trump and led a second spade to dummy’s ten. When East took the ace, South claimed.

Aries: Miscommunication with someone from far away could lead to bruised egos, heightened emotions, and angry phone calls. It’s best not to get drawn into a quarrel, Aries. Try to straighten it all out. Changes in your neighborhood could cause problems with travel, so be prepared for blocked streets and heavy traffic. Walk - it will clear your head and get you where you’re going more quickly. Taurus: Your talents as a psychologist could be put to work today when misunderstandings arise. Your companions aren’t likely to be thinking straight and may not respond to reassurance, Taurus. Use your intuition to find the best way to defuse the situation. Gemini: Someone who interests you could seem to be showing interest in someone else. This might arouse your insecurities and cause a bit of jealousy. Don’t make yourself crazy, Gemini. All may not be as it seems. Try to discern the facts. Cancer: Someone is keeping secrets from you. We all have private issues, Cancer, but this situation affects you. Your intuition will probably tell you who the person is. Try to get them to open up without exerting pressure. Unfinished tasks could drive you crazy. You may try to race through them, which can cause too much stress. Get the crucial ones done and let the others go. Leo: Circumstances beyond your control might get in the way of attending a group event. This could cause some disappointment for you and others, Leo. It’s best to find something else to do. Your own project is likely to need some attention, and this could prove to be a challenge that keeps you engrossed for hours. Virgo: A female visitor who needs some sympathy could contact you today. She may want advice on some problems, Virgo, but she could also bring information, possibly involving new scientific or metaphysical studies that you find fascinating and that you’ll want to relate to others. This information could trigger your own insights.
