SB County to lift mask mandate Face coverings won’t be required of vaccinated people in most indoor settings in Tri-Counties By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR
DAVE MASON/NEWS-PRESS
Dr. Henning Ansorg, the Santa Barbara County public health officer, said the county is now on the downslope of the COVID-19 surge.
Santa Barbara, Ventura and San Luis Obispo counties are ending their indoor mask mandates, effective Wednesday. Public health departments in the Tri-Counties announced Thursday they were aligning themselves with the state, which decided its California-wide indoor mask mandate would expire Tuesday. That means as of Wednesday, there will be no state or local indoor mask mandates for vaccinated individuals in most indoor public settings.
The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department explained that it decided it could end the mask mandate because of recent data trends and the characteristics of the omicron variant. While omicron has proven to be more transmissible than other variants, it has resulted in shorter periods of illness, a lower death count and fewer hospitalizations for fully vaccinated residents, according to the health department. The number of new COVID-19 cases has fallen since early January, when Santa Barbara County reported around 1,000

Carpinteria High School business students react with surprise at the news that their upcoming trip to New York City is being covered by a grant from HSBC Bank USA. The Virtual Enterprises students will compete at summit there in April.
By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR
When the surprise came Thursday morning, Carpinteria High School business students cheered and applauded — and for good reason. They’re getting an all-expensepaid trip to New York City. That’s where the hard-working students in the Virtual Enterprises course will compete in April at VE’s Youth Business Summit. The students knew they were going to the Big Apple. They didn’t know that HSBC Bank USA had decided to give them a grant to cover the costs. Teri Jones, the Northridgebased VE regional director, told the students the good news while their teacher and school
administrators, who all knew about the surprise before the students, listened. “I know you guys applied for a recent grant. That grant is offering free airfare, hotel and other accommodations for two chaperones and eight students,” Mrs. Jones said. “There was only one grant that they (HSBC Bank USA) gave this whole side of the United States, leading all the way from Texas over to California. “And you guys got it.” The students immediately cheered, and their teacher said she was relieved that she could finally talk about the grant. The students worked hard and quickly to apply for the grant, and instructor Julie Shamblin had to wait until Thursday for them to get Please see TRIP on A4

Julie Shamblin, the instructor in the Virtual Enterprises class, talks about the program.
David Karpeles, who co-founded the Karpeles Manuscript Library, was a Santa Barbara historian, scholar and entrepreneur, known for accomplishments that benefited Santa Barbara County and the nation. His life began at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, where he was born Jan. 26, 1936. He died there 86 years later, almost to the day, on Jan. 19, 2022. “He led a fascinating and remarkable life that had a positive effect on everyone he met,” his family said in an email to the News-Press. “His intelligence, analytical abilities, creativity and humor was a gift to everyone who knew him,” His family moved in 1942 from Santa Barbara to Duluth, Minn. He graduated from Denfeld High School in Duluth at age 17 and continued on to study at the University of Minnesota at Duluth, majoring in both mathematics and physics. He served as a substitute instructor at age 19 at the University in Duluth. He graduated cum laude in 1956 at the University of Minnesota Duluth, completing his studies for his bachelor’s in three years. He continued in mathematics as a master’s student at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, while serving as a graduate instructor in the department. Mr. Karpeles met his wife Marsha, while teaching in Minneapolis “He got invited on a double date and agreed to go,” his son, Mark Karpeles, told the NewsPress during a phone interview. “When they went to pick her up, it was dark outside. After talking with her parents for a few minutes, they left, but my dad really hadn’t gotten a look at her yet. “As they walked away from the door my dad said to himself, ‘I need to see what I got,’ ” Mark

recalled. “As he looked at her, he said, ‘She was the most beautiful woman I ever saw, and I knew I wanted to marry her right away.” “They were married for 63 years. But they were so opposite in so many ways,” Mark told the News-Press. David Karpeles moved back to Santa Barbara as a research analyst for General Electric Tempo division in 1963 and began to teach mathematics at Santa Barbara City College and Westmont College while starting to work toward a doctorate at the University of California. David received his doctorate in Biblical historicity and doctorate in history from Atlantic International University. He also received an honorary doctorate from State University New York. While at General Electric, David proposed the use of the first operating optical character recognition program for handwriting.

TRAFFIC, CRIME & FIRE BLOTTER Major traffic collision in Carpinteria CARPINTERIA— Eleven vehicles, including a truck leaking diesel, crashed Thursday on Highway 101, delaying traffic for several hours. The collision began around 10:50 a.m. when one vehicle on the northbound side hit the
divider, pushing the k-rails into the southbound lanes. Three vehicles crashed on the northbound side, and eight crashed on the southbound side. A truck leaked diesel from its tank onto both sides of Highway 101. Crews assisted with stopping the flow of diesel, Rob Rappaport, fire marshal and public information officer of Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection
District, told the News-Press. There were five minor injuries, and all were treated by crews on-scene, said Mr. Rappaport, whose fire department responded to the collision. The California Highway Patrol also responded and investigated the collision. — Katherine Zehnder

California Legislature denies GOP effort to end state of emergency
By MADISON HIRNEISEN
THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER
(The Center Square) — An effort by Republican legislators to bring an end to California’s state of emergency failed in both chambers of the state Legislature Thursday. Republican lawmakers from both the Assembly and Senate held a press conference outside the Capitol to promote Assembly Concurrent Resolution 46 and Senate Concurrent Resolution 5, both of which propose an end to the existing COVID-19 state of emergency and eliminate Gov. Gavin Newsom’s emergency powers. “We have believed for several months now that it is time to end the state of emergency,” Sen. Melissa Melendez, R-Lake Elsinore, said during Thursday’s press conference.
Sen. Melendez, who is the author of SCR 5, has repeatedly tried to get a vote on the resolution during every Senate floor session in recent weeks. On Thursday, she brought up the measure again during the Senate floor session, and it was shot down by a majority of lawmakers along party lines. On the Assembly side, Assemblymember Kevin Kiley, R-Rocklin, attempted to bring ACR 46 up for a vote during the chamber’s floor session on Thursday. Assemblymember Kiley, donning a mask with a photo of Gov. Gavin Newsom and Earvin “Magic” Johnson during the AFC Championship game, argued it is hypocritical to allow thousands of fans to gather for the Super Bowl on Sunday while California remains in a state of emergency. “California is hosting the actual
Super Bowl during a state of emergency,” Mr. Kiley said. “It is time to end the absurdity and let the people of California get back to their lives.” Mr. Kiley’s request to bring the resolution to a vote was shot down by the Democratic supermajority on Thursday. In a statement, a spokesperson for the governor’s office called the Republican lawmakers’ actions “failed political theater,” saying that they should focus on “what best serves their constituents.” “Apparently, Asm. Kiley and Asm. Gallagher believe it would have been better to let Californians die and be turned away from care when hospitals reached capacity during the Omicron surge,” Erin Mellon, a spokesperson for the Governor’s Office, said in a statement Thursday.

USC defeats UCSB men’s volleyball team in three sets By MICHAEL JORGENSON UCSB SPORTS WRITER
LOS ANGELES — The No. 8-ranked UCSB men’s volleyball team saw its four-match win streak end Wednesday night at No. 7 USC, falling to the Trojans in three sets: 25-20, 25-22, 25-23. Three of UCSB’s four defeats this season have come to the Trojans. The loss ended a run of four straight Gaucho wins, all coming over ranked opponents, as they were swept for the first time in 2022. Santa Barbara (5-4) played without its pair of key starters in opposite Haotian Xia and setter Patrick Paragas for the second straight match. Sophomore outside hitter Nick Amoruso led the team in kills (8) for the first time. Sophomore setter Conor Dunn finished with a team-high 28 assists and 13 digs, notching the team’s first double-double of the year. Also recording season-bests were freshman outside hitter Geste Bianchi with seven kills (.438) and libero Ryan Pecsok with 10 digs. Junior middle blocker Brandon Hicks registered a team-high 11 points, leading all players with seven blocks to go along with seven kills (.308). USC won the first set 25-20. The opening game was tightly contested until a late Trojan run. The Gauchos outhit the Trojans .237-to-.233 for the set and held a 15-14 lead. However, USC went on a 10-4 run from there, getting several blocks at the net and finishing with a 2-0 edge in aces. The USC took the next set 25-
22. After an 11-11 deadlock, the Trojans (9-2) gained separation by reeling off five straight points, four of which came on Gaucho attacking errors. USC had its lowest hitting percentage (.146) in set two, as did Santa Barbara (.075). The Trojans won the set 25-22 on a UCSB service error. The third and final set, which USC won 25-23, would be the closest of the night. Neither team held a lead of more than three points the entire way. Bianchi entered the match and tallied all seven of his kills in the third game alone. His sixth of the night put UCSB up 20-19. The Trojans scored three unanswered to take a 22-20 lead off a kill by Sam Kobrine. Simon Gallas later ended things on USC’s second match point with his match-leading 16th kill. On Wednesday, UCSB tied a season-low with just one ace, which came from sophomore outside hitter Andrew McSweeney. Sophomore middle blocker Donovan Todorov finished with five kills (.556) and two blocks. Junior outside hitter Ryan Wilcox, who entered Wednesday having led UCSB in kills for three straight matches, had four kills and a season-high The Gauchos will be on the road for two more matches this week, traveling to No. 9 Grand Canyon to play at 6 p.m. Friday and 7 p.m. Saturday.

English language. The program analyzed the syntax of the question, determined the meaning and gave the appropriate answer. David started investing in real estate in 1968. His real estate investments grew to more than 300 homes. “This first one he owned was a small house on a large lot, out on the Mesa,” Mark said. “This is how everything started. It was his real estate investments that enabled him to leave General Electric and become an entrepreneur. “He provided 300 single parents rental properties to tenants,” Mark continued. “When he sold the property, he always gave the tenant first chance to buy and offered creative financing opportunities. He probably helped more people become first time home-owners than anyone else in the SantaBarbara area.” David received an award in 1981 from California Gov. Jerry Brown for developing a plan for providing affordable housing. And David started buying manuscripts with the profits he made from his real estate investments. He went to the Huntington Library in the Pasadena area, and he couldn’t believe what they had to offer. So he talked to the curator to find out where and how to acquire manuscripts. He started to bid on his first manuscripts between 1978-79 and won. That got him hooked. He bid on and bought manuscripts for more than 40 years. As he began accumulating manuscripts, David decided that he wanted to enable the public to have viewing access to them and opened the first of the many Karpeles Manuscript Library Museums in Tacoma, just south of Seattle. The flagship library is at 21 W. Anapamu St., Santa Barbara. The other libraries are located across the country, in cities varying from Buffalo, N.Y., to St. Louis. David was constantly studying U.S. history and religion. He also

owned a large map collection, which can be viewed in the manuscript museum in Fort Wayne, Ind. The museums are open to both scholars and the general public with no entrance charge. “We plan on keeping the museums going,” Mark told the News-Press. The family noted David’s collection grew to be the largest privately owned collection in the world. The archives include literature, science, religion, political history, music, exploration and art. His goal was to stimulate interest in learning, especially with children.
“He was a very mellow person,” Mark said. “I never saw him yell in his whole life. If you said something he didn’t agree with, he didn’t say anything at all. He cared about everybody, and he wanted to help society, but he didn’t want to just give everything away.” Mark said David loved to joke, never swore, never smoked, never drank. “Whenever doctors asked him if he smoked or drank, he said ‘I have no vices but I have no virtues.’ That was his favorite saying.” In its statement to the NewsPress, the Karpeles family noted, “David was a loving husband
and father. His contributions to society will have an everlasting effect.” David Kareples is survived by his wife, Marsha, whom he married a year after they met in 1957 and who co-founded the Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum with him; four children, Mark, Leslie (Szumowski), Cheryl (Alleman) and Jason; his children’s spouses, Joann, Tim, Bob and Jennifer and 10 grandchildren: Alexis, Kate, Nick, James, Michelle, Alan, Ethan, Alex, Henry, Isabelle.

Curtis makes history on the ice at the Beijing Olympics BY KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
Kelly Curtis, Team USA’s first black Olympic skeleton racer, flew face down on the ice Thursday at 120 kilometers an hour — picking up speed and making history. The 33-year-old U.S. airwoman is also the only U.S. Air Force member at the games, and her sport, skeleton racing, is a winter sliding sport. The athlete rides a small sled down a frozen track while lying facing down and head first. Ironically, Curtis was not especially interested in winter sports when she was growing up in Princeton, N.J. Basketball was the first winter sport that she fell in love with. “I didn’t really see too many people that look like me or had a similar background,” Curtis told Team USA of watching winter sports as a child. “I was always too scared to do it. I didn’t really feel like I had what it took, and I also did not like the cold,” she told the Air Force Times. “So it just never seemed like a door that would be open.” But Curtis kicked the door in anyway. Ahead of Beijing, she was ranked 14th in the world, but she’s seen as a role model for black children and all children with dreams. In other news, Ashley Caldwell, Chris Lillis and Justin Schoenefeld became the first Americans to win the gold in freestyle skiing, beating China, to take Team USA’s fourth gold medal of the Beijing Olympics. (Full disclosure: Caldwell and
Schoenfeld are dating.) “It was an out-of-body experience today,” Caldwell told Olympics.com after being part of Team USA’s first goldwinning mixed aerials team in freestyle skiing. “In that first round, we had a lot more to give as we qualified in second, and (it was) mostly my fault that I put the hands down just a little bit. But we knew we had a lot more to give going into that last round and it was just going to come down to executing it. Luckily, we all did that,” Lillis said. “I haven’t stopped smiling for like 30 minutes and my cheeks are starting to get sore, but it’s seriously the greatest feeling. I just won the biggest competition in the world, especially with two of my best friends,” said Schoenefeld. Added Caldwell, “Aerials is an incredibly difficult and scary sport. I’ve always said this, that at the top of the hill we know what each other is going through and that builds a bond. “We have so much mutual respect for everyone on the hill. And (we’ve) never really had a lot of team events. So this has definitely built a different atmosphere. It’s very fun.” Today is Shaun White’s ride as a competitive snowboarder in what has been reported as his fifth and final Olympics and his final event as a competitive snowboarder. “Everything’s got this glow on it because it’s my last time. It’s just like the way that the world spins,” he told Olympics. com in January. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

Los Angeles County reportedly ‘weeks away’ from ending indoor mask mandate By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER
(The Center Square) — Though California’s universal indoor masking mandate is set to expire for fully vaccinated individuals on Tuesday, some local jurisdictions across the state have announced that they plan to keep an indoor masking requirement in effect until COVID-19 case rates improve. Dr. Barbara Ferrer, the Los Angeles County Public Health Director told the Board of Supervisors Tuesday that the county likely remains a few weeks away from lifting its indoor masking mandate. The public health director said masking requirements could change when the county reaches a “moderate level” of community transmission for two consecutive weeks — defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as less than 50 new cases per 100,000 people for seven days. The county could also move to eliminate indoor masking requirements once the COVID-19 vaccine is available for children under age 5 for eight weeks, Dr. Ferrer said Tuesday, noting that
officials are expecting emergency approval of the Pfizer vaccine for kids under 5 by the end of the month. “We share in the desire to take masks off, the issue is one of timing,” Dr. Ferrer told the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday. “We anticipate being able to get to moderate transmission if we can continue to drive down the rates as we are right now on our cases within a few weeks, but we’re not there yet,” she later added. In the Bay Area, Santa Clara County announced Wednesday that it would keep its indoor mask mandate in place next week. The local public health department said Wednesday that it would consider lifting the mandate when the county reaches a seven-day average of 550 or fewer cases for at least a week. “We must continue to base our decisions on the risks COVID-19 presents to our community, and we look forward to lifting the indoor mask requirement as soon as we can do so without putting vulnerable people at undue risk,” Dr. Sara Cody, Santa Clara County health officer and director of public health, said in a statement
Wednesday. Other regions of the state, however, have decided to allow indoor mask mandates to expire next week, permitting fully vaccinated individuals to take off their masks in most indoor settings. Eleven Bay Area health officers announced Wednesday that they would relax many indoor mask requirements next week, allowing fully vaccinated patrons to take off their masks in most public indoor settings. The health officers represented the counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Monterey, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, Solano, Sonoma and the city of Berkeley. “We are able to take this next major step of removing the universal indoor mask requirement because we have laid a strong foundation in good public health protections — especially vaccines and boosters — and know we can reduce severe illness, hospitalizations and deaths,” Dr. Ori Tzvieli, health officer for Contra Costa County, said in a statement Wednesday. San Francisco Mayor London Breed also announced Wednesday
that fully vaccinated patrons would no longer be required to mask up to enter several indoor establishments across the city. “Starting February 16 in San Francisco, vaccinated people will no longer be required to wear masks in most indoor settings, including restaurants, bars, gyms, grocery stores, offices, museums and other locations,” Mayor Breed tweeted. “The unvaccinated will still be required to wear masks indoors.” Ms. Breed noted that several state indoor masking orders in settings like hospitals, homeless shelters and schools will still be required, and federal law still requires masking on public transit. The state initially instated the universal indoor masking requirement on Dec. 15 amid rising cases of COVID-19. The requirement was initially set to last through Jan. 15 but was extended last month as the omicron variant continued to circulate statewide. Since cases peaked in January, the state has seen a 65% drop in case rates statewide, Gov. Gavin Newsom said earlier this week. Madison Hirneisen covers California for The Center Square.
Feds warn local police about trucker convoy protesting vaccine mandates By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE SENIOR REPORTER
(The Center Square) — A movement of truckers protesting vaccine mandates in Canada has garnered international attention and now is spreading to the U.S. The Department of Homeland Security issued a bulletin to local law enforcement this week, telling them protests from truck drivers could disrupt the Super Bowl this Sunday and President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on March 1.
The “Freedom Convoy” began in Canada after the nation last month implemented a vaccine mandate to cross the U.S.-Canada border, a trip truckers make regularly. The DHS memo was first reported by Yahoo News. DHS told law enforcement officials the agency has “received reports of truck drivers potentially planning to block roads in major metropolitan cities in the United States in protest of, among other things, vaccine mandates. The convoy will potentially begin
in California as early as midFebruary, potentially impacting the Super Bowl scheduled for 13 February and the State of the Union address scheduled for 1 March.” Meanwhile, the “Freedom Convoy” has continued to pressure politicians along the U.S.-Canada border. Michigan’s Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer called on Canadian authorities “to quickly resolve the ongoing Ambassador Bridge closure,” which has been blocked by the truckers and connects
Ottawa to Detroit. “It is imperative that Canadian local, provincial, and national governments de-escalate this economic blockade,” Gov. Whitmer said in a statement. “They must take all necessary and appropriate steps to immediately and safely reopen traffic so we can continue growing our economy, supporting good-paying jobs and lowering costs for families.” Casey Harper works at The Center Square’s Washington, D.C., bureau.

and other care facilities. And the department said masks will be required of all unvaccinated people in indoor public settings. The health department said the risk for severe illness remains high among unvaccinated individuals. It reported that local data shows unvaccinated people are 5.7 times more likely to contract COVID-19, 3.4 times more likely to be hospitalized for severe illness and 8.1 times more likely to die than people who are upto-date with their vaccines. On Thursday, the health department reported that 71.2% of the county’s eligible 5-andolder population and 66.9% of the entire population are vaccinated. To learn about local opportunities for vaccinations and booster shots, go to publichealthsbc.org/vaccines. Meanwhile, the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department is encouraging people to ensure indoor gatherings are well ventilated and to stay informed of case rates if you plan to travel elsewhere and act accordingly. “If you are immunocompromised or care for someone that is, weigh your risk in attending large gatherings,” the health department advised. To learn about testing sites, isolation and quarantine guidance, go to publichealthsbc.org.

health director, said the community has endured the 23 months of the pandemic and learned how to best protect itself. “Vaccination, including receiving a booster, and testing will continue to diminish the spread of this virus, especially as we continue to move past the surge caused by the omicron variant,” Dr. Van Do-Reynoso said in her statement. Those thoughts were echoed in neighboring Ventura County, where Dr. Robert Levin, the public health officer, said, “The mask order is being lifted because the COVID-19 situation has changed thanks to effective vaccines, effective treatments and a variant that causes less severe disease.” While not requiring masks for vaccinated individuals, public health departments are recommending them in indoor public settings, especially in crowded areas where vaccination status isn’t known. “I still highly recommend that all community members wear masks indoors because there is strong evidence that masks, especially high-quality masks, protect both the wearer and those around them,” Dr. Levin said. The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department said masks will still be required for everyone in public transit, indoors at K-12 schools, childcare, shelters, healthcare settings, correctional facilities

Standing in the back, Diana Rigby, the superintendent of the Carpinteria Unified School District, assured the students that the district would make sure expenses would be covered so all 29 students could go to the Big Apple. She told the News-Press later that the district would reach out to other sources, such as local nonprofits, to complement the grant from HSBC Bank USA. In Virtual Enterprises, students create a company, in Carpinteria’s case, Everest, and market and sell imaginary products on a virtual website. Mrs. Shamblin said the products varied from candy to clothing and shoes. The students are responsible for all of it, from deciding who’s the CEO, COO and director of human resources, to how they will promote their products. They treat it like a real business. And on Thursday morning, their teacher and administrators were bursting with pride. “I can’t tell you how thrilled we are and how proud we are of our students and our teacher, Mrs. Shamblin,” Mrs. Rigby told the students. “We want to make sure each and every one of you has the opportunity to go to New York. “Thank you for working so hard,” she said. “You represent us so well.” Principal Gerardo Cornejo echoed that. “We are looking forward to what you do when you go out in the real word,” Mr. Cornejo said. Mrs. Shamblin told the NewsPress that she has taken previous VE classes to New York City, but this is the first time in the school’s history that the expenses were all covered by a grant. The teacher praised the students for being hard-working and taking charge of their Everest company. “They came up with this idea of representing markets all across the country for people who can’t travel to get authentic products.” Alea Dahlquist, a senior in the VE class and the chief operating

(She was filling in that day for CEO Tristan Cravens, who couldn’t be there Thursday.) “I was so excited and happy because a lot of us are going to be able to go,” to the Big Apple, Alea, 17, told the News-Press. “It’s going to be my first
time (in New York City),” said Alea, who’s planning to study education in college but feels VE has taught her lifelong skills. “It’s making me smarter about money,” she said. Alea said the students will experience Times Square and will get a chance to do some sight-seeing, including a visit to
the 9-11 Memorial. How about going to the top of the Statue of Liberty? “Maybe. I’m a little nervous about heights, but I might just do that,” Alea said with a smile. “You only get to do that so often.” email: dmason@newspress.com

starring with Mike Myers in “So I Married An Axe Murderer,” a 1993 comedy. “A lot of it was inspired by the comedy of Mike Myers, who stepped in, once he got the role, and brought ingenuity to the film,” Ms. Travis said. “It ended up being this iconic movie. People come up to me and say lines from this movie. It’s become a cult favorite.” Ms. Travis started dating the movie’s producer, Robert Fried, and they got married. Today they
have two sons, ages 20 and 24, and she loves spending time with the terrier-heeler mix her family got during the pandemic, Josie. “It’s a white dog with black spots. This dog looks like a cow,” she said, chuckling. For her current projects, Ms. Travis has written a TV pilot that she hopes to sell and star in. “And once I’m through with ‘Lillian,’ I’d like to return to creating my own one-woman show,” she said.
“Lillian” gives her an excuse to come to Santa Barbara, an area that she loves. She and Mr. Fried lived in Carpinteria more than 20 years ago. “I love the drive. I love that feeling, that as soon as you get off the 101, you roll down the windows and breathe in the paradise that is Santa Barbara,” Ms. Travis said. “It’s one of the most idyllic places in the world.” email: dmason@jnewspress.com

It is a bountiful basket of bunnies this week as AnimalZone visits BUNS (Bunnies Urgently Needing Shelter) located in Goleta. BUNS is an independent non-profit dedicated to the care and welfare of rabbits and guinea pigs. BUNS works to find bunnies and guinea pigs permanent homes. We are all ears to hear the in-depth understanding about bunnies that these animal welfare professionals will share.The author of Afterlife of Animals, Candi Cane Cooper, provides some compassionate tools and how to use them in dealing with the grieving process when a beloved pet crosses the Rainbow Bridge. Candi’s book offers insights to questions about what happens to our pets once they transition to their afterlife. Then Robert Barnes, our savvy farrier, takes us on a tour of Bella Cavalli Farms & Vineyards in Solvang where fine wines and fine equines come together.

barbara-event. In his book, “The Ships that Built the West: The Scandinavian Navy,” Mr. Engvig shares maritime stories of the Scandinavian captains, seamen and ships that helped to build the West Coast, such as the steam schooner Wapama, once the main vessel on display at the San Francisco Maritime Museum. The book and presentation also include Mr. Engvig’s 36-year restoration, completed in 2015, of the Vaerdalen, a Norwegian hybrid ship with a sail and a small steam engine that drives the propeller. Before the California gold rush in 1849, San Francisco had a population of less than 10,000, but by 1870, the population had grown to 150,000. Housing and other industries grew at a similar pace, and the need for lumber increased up and down the Pacific coast. Without adequate roads and railroads, the needed lumber was largely transported by sea, and the growing trade attracted investment in ships and deepsea sailors looking for more local work, many of whom were Scandinavian. At one time, there were 300 lumber carriers known collectively as the Scandinavian Navy. With the Great Depression of 1929, a contracting economy and growing road and rail transportation systems, the lumber schooner fleet gradually disappeared. Long fascinated by these ships and writing about their importance, Mr. Engvig was determined to save and restore the derelict Vaerdalen, now the last existing lumber schooner in the world. Mr. Engvig, a former sea captain, has a graduate degree in maritime history from the University of Oslo and is an expert on Scandinavian ships and their building materials (wood, iron, and steel). He also has a CMAS 1st class scuba diving certificate and a master mariner’s license. Born in Rissa, Norway, Mr. Engvig now lives in Southern California with his family. He was named ScandinavianAmerican of the Year in 2015 and is the recipient of two Norwegian royal medals for his work with preserving maritime heritage. He is the author of numerous other maritime books and articles, including “Legends in Sail,” an illustrated book detailing the history of legendary ships, and he is internationally known for his work saving and restoring historic vessels. This event is sponsored by Marie L. Morrisroe. email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

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.

a long journey, perhaps to a distant state or foreign country, could suddenly present itself to you today, Libra. This trip is apt to be far more significant than a simple vacation. It may be career related or involve an opportunity to expand your education. It could also concern a relationship. SCORPIO — Some traumas, phobias, or hang-ups from the past that have been limiting you in some way could suddenly come to the surface today, Scorpio. You might get the most insight by analyzing your dreams. The release could be so profound that you have to spend some time alone today, perhaps away from the house, in order to fully grasp it all. SAGITTARIUS — Romantic novels and movies might have caused you to feel especially passionate and sensual. Today you long to schedule a romantic evening alone with a love partner, Sagittarius. Other social obligations could get in your way, however. You might have made these other commitments a long time ago and they may be business related. CAPRICORN — Although you may have been feeling somewhat out of sorts for the past few days, Capricorn, today you could feel as if you just got a new lease on life. You’re in excellent physical, mental, and emotional shape, so you should be raring to go. Both immediate and long-term goals should be easy to achieve while your energy is strong today. AQUARIUS — Today you’re likely to be longing for a little break from your daily routine, Aquarius, and for an evening alone with a love partner. You’re feeling sensual and passionate, but you also have much to report concerning new opportunities that have recently come up. Some of these, if implemented, could well change your life in a profound way. PISCES — Some welcome visitors from far away could come to see you today and cause temporary chaos in your home. You’ll be glad to see them, however, Pisces, as they’ll have some great news and fascinating information to pass on to you and your family. You’ll want to introduce them to other friends who share your interests.
HOROSCOPE ARIES — News could come your way, perhaps through local magazines or newspapers, about possible renovations occurring in your community. These changes could be rather controversial, Aries, so don’t be surprised if you hear a lot of gossip and a number of opinions, both pro and con, on the matter. TAURUS — If you’ve been striving for success in the field of writing, speaking, or publishing, Taurus, you have the chance for a real breakthrough today. A large sum of money or an opportunity to earn it in one of these fields might come your way, and you’ll definitely want to take advantage of it. GEMINI — Success and good fortune might be in the wind for you today, Gemini. Whatever it is will probably have you feeling especially elated and satisfied with your accomplishments. You’ll want to tell everyone, but this could prove frustrating since some of the people you want to tell might not be reachable today. CANCER — Successes have been coming your way continually for a while, Cancer. The downside is that excessive celebrating and overindulging in food and drink could have you feeling physically out of sorts today. Nonetheless, your mood should still be very high, and you should still be strongly motivated to continue whatever it is you’ve been doing that has brought such positive results. LEO — Upheavals within a group with which you’re affiliated, perhaps professionally, might cause you to alter your goals slightly, Leo. In the long run, this could well prove to be a positive development, although the conditions leading to it could be a bit disconcerting. VIRGO — A number of people in interesting fields, such as law, education, or writing and publishing, could cross your path today, Virgo. This could involve your job, or perhaps these people attend a social event that you host in your home. Either way, some fascinating and useful information could come your way. LIBRA — A chance to take

The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the high bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveyancing fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of a certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD Field Office representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD field office Representative, offer the Property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The amount that must be paid if the Mortgage is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is $474,325.52, as of 3/1/2022, plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage agreement if payments under the mortgage had not been accelerated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices and for the Foreclosure Commissioner’s attendance at the sale, reasonable and customary costs incurred for title and lien record searches, the necessary out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Foreclosure Commissioner for recording documents, a commission for the Foreclosure Commissioner, and all other costs incurred in connection with the foreclosure prior to reinstatement. Tender of payment by certified or cashier’s check or application for cancellation of the foreclosure sale shall be submitted to the address of the Foreclosure Commissioner provided below.
