Dining parklets continue to grace State Street, but a new Santa Barbara ordinance requires them to leave room for fire lane boundaries for emergency vehicles.

By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Businesses along the State Street Promenade have until Tuesday to update outdoor dining and merchandise structures to comply with new fire lane boundaries. A temporary ordinance put in place at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic allowed for businesses to operate outdoor facilities in the road for dining, shopping or other activities. An updated version of the ordinance — unanimously approved by the Santa Barbara City Council last month — mandated outdoor businesses must ensure structures leave at

least 20 feet of the center of the roadway clear for emergency and fire vehicles. Outdoor businesses must also leave an unobstructed vertical clearance of at least 13.5 feet for emergency services. The updated ordinance gave businesses a March 8 deadline to comply. “We’re starting to see some businesses with early compliance, which we’re extremely thankful for, and next week we’ll be doing reviews,” Jessica Grant, the interim Public Works downtown manager, told the News-Press. “Some businesses have Please see PARKLETS on A4

Santa Barbara County District Attorney Joyce Dudley will retire after about 12 years in office. Ms. Dudley, 69, announced her retirement in front of the Santa Barbara County Courthouse Thursday afternoon and immediately threw her weight behind John Savrnoch, the assistant district attorney. “This has been my dream job because of the people I have worked with, my friends and family who have supported me and this county, this incredible, incredible county that I have had the honor to serve,” Ms. Dudley said during an emotional press conference. “I can proudly say every decision I made I felt was the right thing, and I’ll miss all that,” Ms. Dudley said. Ms. Dudley would have been up for re-election in the statewide June primary. She said she will remain in her position until Jan. 3. “District Attorney Dudley is a beloved institution in our county and a community builder extraordinaire. It has been a great honor to serve alongside her,” Joan Hartmann, the chair of the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors, said in a statement to the News-Press. “She helped to revolutionize the D.A.’s office in a progressive direction — from treating survivors of sexual assault with deep compassion and respect through the extraordinary Victim Witness Program to her leadership in facilitating significant public safety improvements for Isla Vista, and with her recent announcement launching a restorative justice

She said ShelterBox is looking at Ukranians’ immediate needs such as blankets to survive the winter cold. She listed other supplies as sleeping mats, ground mats, solar-powered lanterns, water purification devices, diapers, baby formula, kitchen sets, etc. “The numbers are increasing every day,” Ms. Murray said. “Many are fleeing with very little. People are forced to flee with little more than their clothes.” “We anticipate this is going to get worse,” she said. “This could be not just weeks. It could be months.” Please see SHELTERBOX on A4

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate reports of sexual assaults in Isla Vista. The investigation began after several reports of possible kidnappings in the area were received Monday by the sheriff’s office and UCSB police. At 5:05 p.m. Monday, an indecent exposure was reported followed by similar incidents in rapid succession on the west side of Isla Vista, said Raquel Zick, the sheriff’s office’s public information officer. At 7:05 p.m., near Camino Del Sur and Sueno Road, a suspect reportedly approached a victim, fondled her breast while covering her mouth, then fled in a vehicle, Ms. Zick said. An additional non-consensual fondling was reported to UCSB police at 8:30 p.m. Monday in the vicinity of West Campus family housing. The suspect was described as a college-aged male

with dark hair and associated with a tan colored 1990s model Toyota Camry or possibly a 1990s Honda. Deputies searched through the night for the suspect, starting the search from the time the calls began coming. County Air Support and a Sheriff’s K-9 unit responded to assist with the search, but did not succeed in locating the suspect. The Sheriff’s Office received several reports of possible suspect sightings throughout Isla Vista and responded to the area of each of the calls to check, but again they did not locate the suspect. On Tuesday, the sheriff’s office assigned these cases to deputies who have been following up on the case, while deputies in Isla Vista have continued to respond to each of the reported possible suspect sightings. Additionally, Sheriff’s Office personnel have fielded numerous calls from community Please see ASSAULTS on A4

Former real estate mogul released Former Central Coast real estate developer Kelly Gearhart was released from prison Wednesday, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Mr. Gearhart, 60, was originally sentenced in 2015 to 14 years after he was convicted on fraud and money laundering charges. The former Atascadero resident admitted that he misrepresented his Vista Del Hombre development project in Paso Robles through the selling of lots that were also used to obtain bank loans. Mr. Gearhart reportedly cheated investors of up to $15 million. His sentence was later reduced to nine years due to an error, and his

Carbajal helps to advance Coast Guard reforms By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

U.S. Rep. Salud, Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, this week helped to advance key reforms in the Coast Guard Authorization Act. The bill includes reforms that Rep. Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, has worked on over the past year, which includes reforms to maritime liability rules in response to the 2019 Conception boat fire that killed 34 people and additional protections to eliminate sexual violence in the maritime industry. “Today, I joined my colleagues to continue the bipartisan legacy of support for our Coast Guard in their broad and critical missions,” Rep. Carbajal said Wednesday. “As chairman of the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Subcommittee and representative for multiple Coast Guard installations in the Central Coast of California, I’m committed to ensuring that all members of the Coast Guard have the resources they need to respond to emergencies from sea to shining sea.” The Coast Guard Authorization Act includes language that would require owners of small passenger vessels to be held legally responsible, including by requiring compensation

notwithstanding the value of the boat. This provision reflects reforms first proposed in Rep. Carbajal’s Small Passenger Vessel Liability Fairness Act, which he introduced with U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., in September 2021 in response to the Conception Boat Fire in 2019. The legislation advanced also includes provisions of the Safer Seas Act, a bipartisan bill co-sponsored by Rep. Carbajal that is designed to protect those in the maritime transportation industry from sexual assault and harassment. These provisions include mandatory reporting requirements to the Coast Guard for any seafarer, master, or vessel owner with knowledge of sexual assault or harassment, improved protections for survivors and witnesses, and a clarification that the Coast Guard has the ability to deny, suspend, or revoke a merchant mariner credential to individuals who have been convicted of sexual harassment or sexual assault. Legislation authored by Rep. Carbajal and Sen. Feinstein, the Small Passenger Vessel Safety Act, became law in January 2021. That bill focused exclusively on improving safety features in small vessels in order to prevent future tragedies. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

SANTA YNEZ — A structure fire took place around 12:30 a.m. Thursday at the Santa Ynez Airport. Multiple engines from the Santa Barbara County Fire Department responded.

Darrell Arnold Aviss of Santa Barbara is facing new federal charges for allegedly failing to pay more than $3 million in federal income taxes. Mr. Aviss is also accused of concealing bank accounts in Monaco, the Department of Justice said Thursday. Mr. Aviss has already been charged with allegedly stealing about $12 million from people who thought they were investing in annuities from Swiss insurance companies, according to the Justice Department. Investigators said Mr. Aviss “operated the fraud scheme” from 2012 through mid2020, obtaining money from people who thought they were investing in annuities from insurance companies. However, Mr. Aviss allegedly did not actually use the money for those purposes. The Justice Department said most of the victims were over the age of 60. Most of the $12 million Mr. Aviss purportedly received came from just one victim, investigators said. Mr. Aviss is out of prison on a $200,000 bond with his trial slated for July 26. However, he will need to be arraigned on the superseding indictment. Federal authorities said Mr. Aviss could face “decades” in federal prison.

SPORTS ROUNDUP

Santa Barbara beach volleyball team defeats Westlake The season opener for Santa Barbara girls beach volleyball was a successful one as the team emerged victorious over Westlake 2-1. The team scored its top three varsity teams instead of five since Westlake had a smaller varsity squad. Juniors Shae Delany and Stella Borgioli, Santa Barbara’s No. 2 team, won in two straight sets with scores of 21-12 and 21-15. The No. 3 team with senior Carolina Koceman and junior Gracie Meinzer also won in straight sets: 21-12 and 21-19. The only loss came from the No. 1 team of seniors Campbell Brown and Mary Johnson in three close sets: 19-21, 21-18 and 12-15. “It was our season opener so a great opportunity to get settled and work out our rhythms,” said Coach Kristin Hempy. “We’re happy to start off with a win and hope to build on that with our upcoming matches: Oak Park (today), at Redwood on Saturday.”

construction — leading Carpinteria to secure an “away” win at its own field. Carpinteria is now 2-1 overall after the 11-7 defeat of Hueneme. Despite a 7-5 lead in the seventh inning, Hueneme gave up six runs at the home half of the inning, allowing Carpinteria to go up 11-7. Coach Patrick Cooney called it an “unusual” game — even despite the field location. The lead drastically changed during the game, home was stolen and a fan got ejected. Reliever Matt Muñoz ended the game with two hits, two RBIs and two runs scored. Erich Goebel had one hit, two walks, two RBIs and two runs scored. Shortstop Hunter Garcia used one hit and two walks to tally an RBI and score two. “This was a wild one. There were huge swings of momentum as the lead changed significantly twice,” Cooney said. “At times, the play was solid and other times it looked like early season baseball. In the end, it was great to get an important win under unusual circumstances.”

The Chargers ultimately nabbed the lead with just 14 minutes remaining in the second half and held it until the end of the game. “During halftime, we took the time to do some deep breathing and visualization to get back into the game and get our heads in it,” said Coach Sam Limkeman. “It must’ve worked because within the first minute of the second half, we had tied the game, and Simi Valley called a timeout to recuperate. However, the fire under our feet had been lit, and we ‘charged’ our way through the second half.” Avery Ball tallied seven goals and Lauren Elliott, five goals. Makayla Severson contributed with two goals and Caitlin Duncan with one. Elliott also contributed five draw controls with Duncan and Ball contributing three. On the defensive side, goalie Maddie Nees had six saves. But Duncan caused five turnovers, counted two interceptions and three ground ball wins. Yesenia Valdez and Rubi Friedenberg also stood out defensively. “I knew it was disheartening to my players to be down at the half, especially when we were playing so poorly, and we knew the score didn’t reflect where we could be,” Limkeman said. “But something that always impressed me about my players is the way

they fight through and dig deeper into themselves to play better. We don’t stay down on ourselves, and we know after every goal we get a fresh chance to show up as DP Chargers.” SAN MARCOS BOYS GOLF WINS DUAL MATCH San Marcos boys golf won its first dual match of the season, beating Buena with a score of 363 to the Ventura school’s 458. Leo Metzger had seven birdies along with a bogey to shoot a 6-under 64, earning him medalist honors. Coach Jeff Ashton said it was Metzger’s best round in high school competition. “I couldn’t have asked for a better way to start the season today. I’m really proud of all of our guys, especially our two freshmen who made their high school debuts,” Metzger said. “I’m really excited about the way I played today, shooting my best round in a high school match so far. Buena had some strong players and were a fun team to play against. I can’t wait for the rest of the season.” Shams Jahangir-Arshad was also under par with three birdies and one bogey. “It was a great start to our season, and we are all really excited to continue working and playing,” Ashton said. email: kschallhorn@newspress.com

Average gas price hovers around $5 a gallon as Russian invasion continues By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Oil prices spiked again Thursday morning after a new round of sanctions was announced against Russia in response to its invasion of Ukraine. And the average price of gas has approached $5 a gallon in Santa Barbara County and went to $5 or more in Ventura and San Luis Obispo counties. The White House Wednesday announced it was banning the export of specific refining technologies with new export curbs targeting Russia’s oil refining sector. That makes it more difficult for Russia to modernize these refineries. Expansive export restrictions are targeting Belarus, as well, according to a report by Reuters. “The United States will take actions to hold Belarus accountable for enabling (Vladimir) Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, weaken the Russian defense sector and its military power for years to come, target Russia’s most important sources of wealth, and ban Russian airlines from U.S. airspace,” the White House told Reuters. Following this new round of sanctions, Brent crude oil, the international benchmark, rose to almost $120 a barrel, which is the highest it has seen in 10 years, before it dropped down to $112.75 a barrel. The 31-member nations of the International Energy Agency decided to release oil from emergency stockpiles. “Markets dismissed the notion that 60 million barrels of strategic reserves released will be consequential to the risks of

Russian supply being jeopardized. Russia pumps more than that in just six days,” Tan Boon Heng of Mizuho Bank told CBS. The current national average price of gas is $3.61 a gallon, up 26 cents from February and roughly a dollar from a year ago, according to the American Automobile Association. Prices continue to rise in California, which has consistently stayed above the national average. AAA on Thursday said the state’s average price was $4.940. In Santa Barbara County, the average price was $4.939 a gallon. The average price in Ventura County was $5 a gallon. In San Luis Obispo County, it was $5.111 a gallon. On Thursday, San Francisco became the first U.S. city to break the average of $5 per gallon of gas, tweeted aid Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “The Russian invasion of Ukraine has sparked high level concern that oil production could eventually be stifled, or even sanctioned, from the world’s second largest oil producer, leading to less supply as demand grows,” Mr. De Haan said in a press release on Monday. “That possibility has pushed up the national average price of gasoline considerably in the last week, and the situation could worsen at any time, keeping gas prices elevated for the foreseeable future. “In addition to the unstable situation with the Russian invasion, we’re also entering the time of year that seasonality pushes gasoline prices up by anywhere from 25 to 75 cents by Memorial Day,” the analyst said. “It’s simply looking like a perfect storm for motorists at the pump,

Newsom pitches plan for mental health, substance abuse services By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled Thursday a new plan he said would help get mental health and substance abuse treatment resources to more vulnerable populations in California. Dubbed CARE Court (Community Assistance, Recovery and Empowerment), the idea is to get a person with an untreated mental health illness or substance use issue into a court-ordered “Care Plan” that can last one to two years. Pending approval by the legislature, all counties would be required to “provide comprehensive treatment to the most severely impaired and untreated Californians” through the CARE Court with accountability measures in place, according to the Governor’s Office. These plans could include

interventions and supportive services, such as housing and medication. “CARE Court is about meeting people where they are and acting with compassion to support the thousands of Californians living on our streets with severe mental health and substance abuse use disorders,” Gov. Newsom said. “We are taking action to break the pattern that leaves people without hope and cycling repeatedly through homelessness and incarceration. This is a new approach to stabilize people with the hardest-to-treat behavioral health conditions.” Gov. Newsom announced the proposal at a mental health treatment facility in San Jose Thursday. Individuals could be put into the system upon referral by behavioral health providers, Please see NEWSOM on A4

with little to no relief anytime soon,” It looks as if gas prices are only going to continue to rise, according to experts. “Unfortunately, I think crude oil prices, and, therefore, gasoline prices are going to keep rising until one of two things happens,” Bob McNally, president of the Rapidian Energy Group, told PBS NewsHour’s William Brangham. But CBS News reported,

Santa Barbara Police Department’s Combined Communication Center received a report from a homeowner in the 3000 block of Calle Noguera about a suspicious subject allegedly prowling on the rear patio of their home. The homeowner was awakened by unusual noises in the backyard and observed a male in dark clothing lurking around their home, said Sgt. Ethan Ragsdale, the police department’s public information officer. The homeowner called 9-1-1 to report the incident, and several officers responded to the call. An officer observed a subject matching the description of the prowler in the area. When the officer attempted to detain the subject, the subject fled on foot, Sgt. Ragsdale said. Another officer gave chase to the fleeing suspect.

The suspect was later identified as 40-year-old transient Justin Howze Juniel, who ran toward State Street. Officers converged on Mr. Juniel around State Street and Calle Crespis. Sgt. Ragsdale said the officer involved in the foot pursuit gave multiple verbal commands, but Mr. Juniel failed to comply and continued fleeing. When officers were able to catch up to him, Mr. Juniel started to allegedly physically fight the officers, Sgt. Ragsdale said. Officers utilized control holds to take custody of Mr. Juniel. One officer suffered a broken hand during the struggle with Mr. Juniel. The officer was taken to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital emergency room for treatment. The officer is currently on medical leave.

Another officer sustained abrasions to their knees and was able to return to duty. Mr. Juniel sustained a minor injury and was treated by paramedics on scene. He was booked in the Santa Barbara County Jail on suspicion of prowling (a misdemeanor) and resisting a police officer by force (a felony). Mr. Juniel also had an outstanding felony arrest warrant. His bail is set at $100,000. During the investigation, another resident informed police that Mr. Juniel had allegedly attempted to gain access into their home by trying to open a rear door. Sgt. Ragsdale said the investigation resulted in probable cause to arrest Mr. Juniel for prowling.

The plan focuses on people with schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders, who may also have substance use challenges, and who lack medical decisionmaking capacity and advances an upstream diversion from more restrictive conservatorships or incarceration.” The proposal is part of the governor’s effort to cut back on homelessness throughout the state. Last month, Gov. Newsom unveiled more than $1 billion in

new funding for mental health treatment and housing options to help individuals experiencing homelessness. The funding is part of his $14 billion package to combat homelessness. As of January, the governor had earmarked more than $60 million for housing projects for unhoused people in Santa Barbara, Santa Clara and Kern counties. “We need to stop trying to fix a failed system,” Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Stephen V. Manley said in a statement Thursday regarding the CARE Court plan. “We are rapidly

moving back to where we were 100 years ago in using incarceration as the only alternative for those persons who are severely mentally ill. We need new ideas and a fresh approach, and Gov. Newsom is offering us one.” Counties that do not fully participate in the CARE Court plan could face sanctions, according to the Governor’s Office. And individuals who could not successfully complete a Care Plan could be put into conservatorship.

to her work with those in more vulnerable situations, such as victims of domestic and sexual violence, child molestation and animal abuse. “I brought in a whole bunch of new programs. The emphasis has been on vulnerable victims and voiceless victims,” Ms. Dudley said. With a gaggle of staff standing sentry behind her during the press conference, Ms. Dudley said she would miss most the people of the office as well as advocating for victims. Gov. Gavin Newsom reappointed Ms. Dudley chair of the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training in November. She has been a member of the commission since 2013, and she said she plans to continue her work to ensure California has the “best of the best” law enforcement officials. And in September, Ms. Dudley was named co-chair of the national Prosecutors Against Gun Violence organization. One of the first things Ms. Dudley did after she was first elected Santa Barbara County’s district attorney was “healing of the office.” She said the office was very divided when she took over, and she felt she needed to “heal your own home” before meaningful work could be done. “And I feel that happened,” Ms. Dudley said. Prior to taking the helm at the District Attorney’s Office in 2010, Ms. Dudley served as a deputy district attorney for 20 years. And she is the former director of Child Development Programs at the Community Action Commission of the County of Santa Barbara. She received her juris doctor

Anthony Quinn Gamblin, 58, of Santa Maria, California, completed his journey in this life on February 25th. He was visiting his beloved best friend and eldest brother at his home in Wyoming laughing together about old times while making new memories. As he was getting ready for their racquetball tournament he peacefully passed from our dimension into his long-awaited eternal destiny. Anthony served six years in the United States Air Force as an A10 aircraft engineer. Upon leaving the service, he worked for Hughes aircraft as a Senior Level Technician. He worked at a packaging plant manager in Colorado and Visalia. He then moved on to run his own business, Proactive Services, before working at his final position in Santa Barbara County as a Communications RF Engineer Supervisor. He worked with the county for twenty-seven years as a technician and project manager. He oversaw large scale communications projects which created a safer county for law enforcement and emergency personnel. He also earned a Master’s in Management in Leadership graduating Summa Cum Laude and earned his FCC license. Anthony’s work ethic flowed out of his passionate heart of love for His Lord Jesus Christ, his family and his community. He left a legacy of caring for those that knew and loved him that will forever live on in their minds and hearts. He was the constant rock that his family and friends leaned on. He believed each day was a gift from God and that each person was a book to read and understand. His favorite pastime was quality time spent with those close to him in activities such as hiking and fishing with his children. His favorite sport was racquetball which gave him peace and clarity of the mind. He hated soccer. The book of his life will be cherished by those closest to him as a source of comfort, strength, wisdom and laughter. He has left behind a spiritual compass, that we will cherish and rely on to guide us in the coming days, weeks, months and years to our eternal destiny where we anticipate his loving embrace. He is eternally loved and survived by his wife, Alia Gamblin, and his four children, Cecilia Allin, David Gamblin, Jonathan Gamblin, and Holly Gamblin. He also leaves behind his mother, Ester Gamblin, and his three siblings Thom Gamblin, Ladonna Benedict, and Tina Tunzi.

GARVEY, James Allen

James “Jim” Allen Garvey, 78 years old, passed away on October 15, 2021, in Coeur d’Alene, ID, after a brief illness. Jim was born in Wauwatosa, WI, to Jane Martin Garvey and Donald R. Garvey. Jim is survived by his wife of 20 years, Shelley Azbell Garvey, his daughter Dr. Donna Garvey Brickner (Jason) and their two children, Will and Cal, daughter Amy Garvey, son Matthew Garvey, his sister Bonnie Garvey Adams, nephew Colonel (retired) Lamar Adams (Jennifer) and their two children, David and Leslie, sister Julie Garvey Corlatan (Dave). Jim was preceded in death by two sons, David and Jeffery, his sister Gloria M. Garvey, and his parents. Jim graduated from Santa Barbara High School (SBHS) in 1960. Later graduating from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1965 with a degree in mathematics, Jim followed a family tradition by joining the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC). He proudly served for 7 years including a 1969-70 tour in Vietnam. As a USMC Captain and pilot, he was part of Marine All Weather Attack Squadron 255 and later the 533.

Upon returning home from his service, Jim specialized in computer technology and was employed with IBM in North Dallas. He retired to Santa Barbara, later moving to Solvang where he was a proud member of the American Legion Post 160.

from the Santa Barbara College of Law. Ms. Dudley said she made her decision not to run for reelection after Mr. Savrnoch said he would vie for the seat. It was important to her, she said, to have a succession plan in place to ensure the office would continue to thrive. “I have complete faith in John being able to not just lead our office but to increase public safety and justice throughout Santa Barbara County,” Ms. Dudley said. “I can say, I would not have retired if I didn’t think the office would go into good hands,” she later added in the News-Press interview. Mr. Savrnoch was appointed by Ms. Dudley to serve as the chief deputy district attorney four years ago. He is a former deputy district attorney assigned to the Lompoc Division and a former longtime attorney for the Fresno County District Attorney’s Office. “District Attorney Dudley has been more than a D.A. She is a mentor, she is a fierce advocate for public safety and she is a dear friend,” Mr. Savrnoch said. “To secure her support and her endorsement for my candidacy is an honor beyond compare.” He vowed to keep a “victim first” mindset if he’s chosen to replace Ms. Dudley in the office. Mr. Savrnoch received his juris doctor from the University of Wisconsin. Even though she’s announced her retirement, Ms. Dudley isn’t hanging up her hat just yet. She said she planned to “take a very aggressive stance” on drug dealers to curtail the opioid epidemic. “I love this town,” Ms. Dudley said.

She shares some real horse sense about understanding horses and how they perceive the world. She explains the need for non-violent communication on the part of the trainer, identiﬁcation of the training skills a person must have, the human’s responsibilities when working with a horse, and what these look like not from our perspective, but the horse’s. The book has been a big success in Germany and is now available in English.

+ 1 ;

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.

SAGITTARIUS — Unexpected communications from people far away could open up new opportunities regarding career, education, travel, or other broadening experiences. As a result, Sagittarius, new friendships could develop, as well as new ideas and possibly exciting new goals. Modern technology could play a major role in this development. CAPRICORN — Career and business continue to play a powerful role in your life now, as new ideas, new people, and considerations as mundane as modern equipment open up new doors for you, Capricorn. In addition, romantic involvements could intensify. If you’re currently committed to someone, expect to grow closer. AQUARIUS — Sudden changes in your romantic situation could occur today, Aquarius. If you’re currently committed to someone, expect some surprising propositions from your partner. If you’re involved but not committed, a marriage proposal might be in the picture. If you aren’t currently involved, you could meet someone new and exciting under unusual circumstances. PISCES — As the world economy continues to boom, Pisces, don’t be surprised if you’re surrounded by new work possibilities. More than one chance to increase your income could come your way today. The problem will be wading through all these opportunities and trying to decide which is the most appealing and workable for you. List your options and outline the pros and cons of each.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: ROSE EMILY JENSEN Case Number: 22PR00043 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: ROSE EMILY JENSEN, Rose E. Jensen, Rose Jensen A Petition for Probate has been filed by Martin F. Jensen in the SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA. The Petition for Probate requests that Martin F. Jensen be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The Petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: 03/17/2022 at Time: 9:00 AM, in Dept.: 5, located at SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101; PO Box 21107, Santa Barbara, CA 93121-1107, Anacapa Division. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
