California creates task force to combat declining enrollment By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

With public school enrollment across California declining, including in the Santa Barbara area, state officials launched a new task force to study the impacts and needs of schools across the system. “I am committed to supporting the needs of all our schools and school districts, and while each school and community has its own unique history and conditions, declining enrollment is something that we are facing together,” Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond said. “For many communities, this is not a new challenge, but after two years of a pandemic, the

impacts feel amplified and the future seems daunting,” Mr. Thurmond continued. “I want this task force to be intentional about understanding the why behind the drops and the sharing of ideas and local efforts that we may contemplate scaling to make a real difference.” The task force will offer support and technical assistance to districts struggling amid the decreased enrollment. It will also analyze data to understand enrollment trends and the movement of students. The task force is led by Dr. Lande Ajose, a vice president at the Public Policy Institute of California; Jeff Freitas, president of the California Federation of Teachers; Dr. Edgar Zazueta,

executive director of the Association of California School Administrators; and Tatiana Davenport, CEO of the California Association of School Business Officials. Enrollment in California’s public schools has plunged to below 6 million students, and the Santa Barbara community is not exempt from the decline. In Santa Barbara County, 67,137 students were enrolled in the 2021-2022 school year, a decrease from 67,470 students in 2020-2021 and 69,006 students in 2019-2020. For the 2018-2019 academic year, 69,379 students were enrolled, and 69,752 students were enrolled for the 2017-2018 school Please see ENROLLMENT on A4

Most Californians believe air pollution and extreme heat are serious threats to their health, a recent survey found. In fact, 64% of voters surveyed by UC Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies pointed to extreme heat as a serious threat to their safety as well as to their family’s health. And 63% listed air pollution. The poll found Democrats were significantly more likely than Republicans to cite extreme heat or air pollution as serious health threats. Latinos, especially in the Inland Empire and San Joaquin Valley, were also more likely to say extreme heat is a “very serious” health threat. Whether California should place new limitations on the agriculture industry’s use of water was more evenly divided: 47% of voters overall favored this idea, and 42% were opposed. The split was greater regionally, however. The majority of voters in Los Angeles County and the San Francisco Bay area (more urban areas) supported this idea, but the majority of voters in the Central Valley regions opposed it. The poll also found 68% of California voters favored a new law requiring residents to compost their food waste. In comparison, only 24% of those surveyed opposed it. “The poll’s findings suggest that growing concerns about the impact of climate change are leading Californians to

reconsider some of their longheld policy views about nuclear power as a potential energy source, although considerable uncertainty persists among many voters,” said Eric Schickler, the Berkeley IGS codirector. The poll found 44% of those surveyed were in favor of building more nuclear power plants whereas 37% opposed the idea and 19% were not sure. According to the Berkeley IGS Poll, this result is in contrast with other statewide surveys following the nuclear power plant accident at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania in 1979. Additionally, 39% of those surveyed said they are now opposed to shuttering the Diablo Canyon power plant in 2025 whereas 33% are in favor of closing it. And 28% of voters are still undecided. Republicans were most likely to signal support for building more nuclear plants. Democrats and nonpartisan voters were more evenly split, although Democrats leaned more toward opposition and no-party voters were more supportive. The survey was conducted online in English and Spanish from March 29-April 5. It polled 8,676 registered voters in California with funding provided by the Los Angeles Times. The poll has a margin of error of about 2 percentage points. The survey and its results can be found at escholarship.org/uc/ item/73c708p0. email: kschallhorn@newspress.com

Sales, transient tax revenues rebounding following pandemic By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Increases in sales and transient occupancy tax revenues in Santa Barbara show improved economic activity following the COVID19 pandemic, city officials said Thursday. Santa Barbara collected $7.4 million in sales tax revenue for the final quarter in 2021. Collections for that period, which ended Dec. 31 and is the second quarter of the current fiscal year, were 32% higher than the same quarter in 2020. Sales tax revenue for the fiscal year to date is $23.2 million. Additionally, Santa Barbara reported collecting $2.6 million in transient occupancy tax revenue for March 2022. This amount was about $1.1 million higher than what was collected in March 2021, the city said. Those revenues were also

about 54% higher than prepandemic levels in March 2019 although officials attributed that rise to increased average daily rates which are about 50% higher than two years ago. Thus far, Santa Barbara has collected $22.7 million in transient occupancy tax revenue in the current fiscal year with March being the ninth month of that year. The city’s adopted transient occupancy tax budget for the year is $23.4 million with $19.5 million budgeted in the general fund. Occupancy levels in March were stabilizing to about prepandemic levels as more COVID restrictions were lifted, the city said in a news release. Santa Barbara’s transient occupancy tax rate is 12% with 10% going to the general fund and the remaining 2% to the creeks and clean water fund. email: kschallhorn@newspress.com

Plane sustains damage to wing during rough landing at Santa Barbara Airport By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara Airport was briefly shuttered Thursday due to an incident involving a small Cessna plane. The plane damaged a wing when it experienced a hard landing Thursday at about 11:20 a.m., causing the aircraft to “corkscrew around,” Santa Barbara City Fire Battalion Chief Robert Mercado told the News-Press. The runway was closed for about an hour until the plane could be cleared, Angi Daus, an airport spokesperson, told the News-Press.

There were two passengers on the plane, and neither were injured. Ms. Daus said the pilot was very experienced and “did a great job in the circumstances.” The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board were contacted, and the federal agencies gave the all-clear for the airport to reopen to arriving and departing flights later Thursday, Ms. Daus said. Airport operations had resumed by Thursday afternoon with most arrivals and departures online, according to the airport’s real-time schedule. email: kschallhorn@newspress.com

TRAFFIC, CRIME AND FIRE BLOTTER Man found guilty of attempted murder Santa Barbara County District Attorney Joyce E. Dudley announced today that Terrence Edward Roberson was found guilty of attempted murder with premeditation and deliberation, as well a special allegation for personally discharging a firearm causing great bodily injury and carrying a concealed firearm. The charges stemmed from a shooting that occurred on May 15, 2019, on the 500 block of Chapala Street in Santa Barbara. At approximately 5 a.m, Mr. Roberson walked by the victim on the sidewalk, the victim was unknown to Mr. Roberson at that time. After a brief interaction, the defendant pulled out a .22 caliber revolver and shot the victim twice in the back. Mr. Roberson was detained shortly thereafter walking away from the incident on Cota Street. The defendant will be sentenced in Department 1 of the Santa Barbara Superior Court on May 31, 2022 and faces a possible 32 years to life in State Prison. — Katherine Zehnder

Standoff in Guadalupe GUADALUPE — A male resident of Guadalupe was taken into custody Thursday morning following an hours-long standoff where he barricaded himself inside a house with a gun, the Guadalupe Police Department reported. The police department had responded to the residence twice during the night for welfare checks. The department was unable to do anything due to an ongoing family issue at the household, Police Chief Michael Cash told KEYT-TV. The third call to the residence occurred around 12:30 a.m. Thursday. As police arrived they heard gunshots coming from the house. Officers were able to establish communications inside the house and found a male suspect with a gun “that he evidently had been firing off,” Chief Cash said. The Guadalupe Police Department requested assistance from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team and the Santa Maria Police Department. They were able to help a woman and the suspect’s father escape from the house through a window, according to Chief Cash. The suspect barricaded himself inside and refused to come out, while simultaneously trying to lure officers inside. At approximately 7:30 a.m., the suspect exited the house and was arrested.

Bypass lane installed in Ventura County MUSSEL SHOALS — The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) plans to install a southbound bypass lane on U.S. 101 near Mussel Shoals. The lane will cross over the median to the left northbound lane, and it will extend more than four miles to Faria Beach, according to Caltrans. The bypass lane will be protected by k-rails to avoid northbound traffic. No exits will be available in the corridor, and the configuration will remain in place from about 11 tonight to January 2023. Motorists can expect delays. Caltrans said the purpose is to complete pavement rehabilitation on the two right lanes and shoulder of southbound U.S. 101 from Mussel Shoals to Faria Beach, a 4.3-mile work zone. The

left southbound lane will remain open on the coastal side of U.S. 101 with access to the off- and onramps at Seacliff. Ramp closures will occur 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 27 and April 28, as well as at intermittent times during the project. All work is subject to change due to weather or constructionrelated issues. Residents and businesses located near the freeway may experience noise, vibrations and dust associated with construction activities. Detour signs will be posted. Real-time traffic information can be found at quickmap.dot. ca.gov. The work is included in the U.S. 101 Pavement Rehabilitation, a $48 million project that includes $5.5 million in funding from Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. Completion is expected in the winter of 2023/2024. For more information, go to dot.ca.gov/ caltrans-near-me/district7/district-7-projects/d7-101pavement-rehabilitation. — Katherine Zehnder

year. More specifically, 13,891 students were enrolled in the 2021-2022 school year in Santa Barbara Unified School District. Last year, 14,205 students were enrolled, and 14,538 students were enrolled in the district in 2019-2020. “It’s no secret that public education in California has seen a dip in enrollment, including here at Santa Barbara Unified. And we agree with the state that a deeper look is needed when it comes to the root causes of the decline,” Dr. Hilda Maldonado told the NewsPress in a statement. “We look forward to informing this work in any way we might be asked, but we continue to be focused on the students that we do serve every day. As a community, we are responsible for student outcomes, and that is defined at the individual level and that will never change, regardless of enrollment numbers.” Aside from the task force, Superintendent Thurmond is also sponsoring a handful of bills in the legislature meant to increase enrollment or help districts. Among the legislation is SB 952 from Sen. Monique

Limón, D-Santa Barbara, which would create a competitive grant opportunity for schools to maintain a dual language immersion program. Both Sen. Limón and Superintendent Thurmond previously told the NewsPress the bill could help attract parents to public schools as well as benefit students’ growth and development from a young age. The bill “gives parents something to be excited about,” Superintendent Thurmond said, noting families have had to make countless sacrifices throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. “We want them to see this as something positive about public schools. We know that dual language immersion programs are something that is popular among our families and not always available. It creates a reason for California to reinvest in California education.” Mr. Thurmond has also backed legislation that would base school funding on enrollment as opposed to attendance and a bill to increase funding through the Local Control Funding Formula. The superintendent has asked individuals who have ideas about enrollment or who wish to learn more about the task force to reach out to enrollment@cde. ca.gov. email: kschallhorn@newspress.com

Sophomore righty Cory Lewis has been tough this season, sliding into the role of the Friday starter for UCSB.

For the first time in his career, Lewis was named Big West Pitcher of the Week in the Gauchos’ home opening series against Nevada and did not disappoint, as the sophomore earned the win after pitching six full hitless, scoreless innings with 11 strikeouts, tying his career high.

“Chuck” had an idyllic Santa Barbara childhood. He always excelled in school, was a Boy Scout, and loved baseball … it was not uncommon for Chuck and his younger brother Butch to seek out and play in pick up ballgames with other kids in the neighborhood, just like the movie, “Sandlot,” which was one of his favorites. Chuck attended Goleta Union School, and for a short time, Paradise School in Santa Ynez. He went on to La Cumbre Jr. High School, and Santa Barbara High School. In high school, Chuck was a fierce rival on the debate team, he was involved in student government, and active in the YMCA, where he met his first wife, Linda (Downing) whom he married in 1955. Chuck attended UCSB at the original campus on The Riviera where he earned his BA in Political Science, graduating with highest honors. He went on to study law at UC Berkeley. In 1961 Chuck returned to Goleta and opened his law practice, as the first full time attorney in Goleta. He was also “first” to try both criminal and civil jury cases in the Goleta Justice Court. The law practice grew, and over the years Chuck took on several law partners. (Brian O’Gorman, Jim Smith, Richard Tyler, David Grokenberger and Casey Hoppell). He was very well respected among his colleagues, and was often called on to consult with some of them right up to the end. In 1989, he served as President of the American Board of Trial Advocates (Santa Barbara, Ventura and San Luis Obispo), Consumer Attorneys of California, the American Bar Association, the California Bar Association, and the Santa Barbara County Bar Association, he also served as an arbitrator, and served as Superior Court Judge Pro Tem. In addition to the law, Chuck was involved in and served many local organizations, including the Elks Lodge, and the Goleta Breakfast Optimist Club. Beginning with his first purchase of a small property in what is known as Old Town Goleta, Chuck was a very successful real estate investor. In the late 1980s, he and his son, Charles V. Eckert IV “Chip” teamed up and created Eckert Investments, an investment and property management company, in which Chuck was active in daily operations right up until the final days of his life. He participated as Chairman, and on the Executive Committee of the Isla Vista Property Owners’ Association, and as Director of the Santa Barbara Rental Property Association. In 1981-1983, Chuck was President of the Santa Barbara Housing Council. He took special pride in Goleta, where he lived and worked for most of his life. He was Chairman for both the Committee for Greater Goleta, and Goletans for Better Government. Chuck’s political influence helped shape Goleta and Santa Barbara in ways that most would never know. Chuck was also an avid bowler. He bowled with his dad, Chili, his brother, Butch and Butch’s son, Gary, and his son Chip for years. In the 1990s, for one season, the five got to bowl together. He took pride in being one of 5 Eckerts on the same bowling team. (Chili, Chuck, Butch, Chip, Gary.) Chuck loved watching his children, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren playing ball of some sort, (baseball, football, soccer, etc.). But he especially loved baseball! In 1982, the Goleta Valley South Little League team won the Little League World Series. Chuck took time out of his busy schedule to travel around the country with his cousins, Carolyn Stewart and Bill Oakley, watching their two sons, Bruce and Billy win a Little League World Series. Chuck got such satisfaction…such a thrill watching the youngsters in the family succeed. In 1971 Chuck married his wife, Janet Brainerd. He and Janet celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in October, 2021. Chuck and Janet were fortunate to visit many parts of the world. They enjoyed many family vacations together along with their children and grandchildren, especially their annual trip to Bass Lake, which they were able to enjoy for a number of years, where such wonderful family memories were created. Family was important to Chuck. He took the time to cultivate very unique relationships with each one of his children, grandchildren, and even greatgrandchildren. He counseled, encouraged and supported each one as they grew up, and beyond into adulthood. As one grandchild so aptly stated, “He’s given me advice from life experiences that no one else could. He’s told me when I need to try harder, and celebrated me when I’ve done my best.” On March 24, 2022, after a long illness, which he fought bravely until the end, Chuck passed away at Serenity House, after saying goodbye to the many family members who loved him and who he loved so much, and after saying a final goodbye to his wife Janet, with Chuck’s daughter Heidi, and son Chip by his side, holding his hands. Charles Vincent Eckert III is survived by: his wife, Janet; sons, Charles V. Eckert IV (Sue), Chuck Brainerd (Kate), Mike Brainerd (Tammy); Daughter, Heidi Peet (Bob); ten grandchildren: Amy, Jessica, Ben, Antonia, Charles V. Eckert V “Vinny”, Joey, Jared, Jakob, Kaitie, Glenn; fourteen great-grandchildren: Brooklynn, Elijah, Uriah, Lola, Sophia, Daniel, Dominic, James, Alexander, Noah, Tullah, Mikayla, Charles V. Eckert VI “Charlie”; brother: Butch Eckert (Mary Lou), and sisters: Scarlet Eckert, and Melody Bowles (Jim). We are blessed by the extraordinary legacy of unconditional love, honesty, integrity and hard work, which he left us. A Celebration of Chuck’s life will be held on May 18, 2022, at 1:00 p.m. at Glen Annie Golf Club. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Goleta Valley Boys and Girls Club, Boy Scouts Los Padres Council, and the Goleta Valley Historical Society.

A great outing at CSUN earned freshman Ryan Gallagher his first career Big West Pitcher of the Week award. The rookie righty was on fire in his Sunday start tossing eight full innings, which is the longest outing of his young career so far. He allowed just one earned run that crossed on a wild pitch as the Gauchos topped the Matadors 7-1 and Gallagher improved to 3-0 on the season. He scattered four hits and four walks in the eight frames while striking out five.

ome down from the sky, Superman and Spider-Man! You don’t need to put in overtime. After all, there’s a new hero in town: the Commerce Comet. His not-so-secret identity is Mickey Mantle. And he’s on the cover of a comic book, thanks to Daniel Jacob Horine. The Ventura artist, who founded Pop Fly Pop Shop, is hitting home runs of his own by creating special comic book covers saluting baseball legends such as Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Don Mattingly and Nolan Ryan. Mr. Horine, 43, blends sports and comic books histories with covers reminiscent of various eras of comic books. The art is getting sports enthusiasts’ attention, to the point that Mr. Horine’s work has landed in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York. Specifically, the museum is displaying Mr. Horine’s creations of “The Curse of the Bambino” (Babe Ruth), “The Cobra” (Dave Parker), “Codebreaker: Dark Arts” (Houston Astros), “The Wizard” (Ozzie Smith), “The Green Monster” (Fenway Park), “The Big Red Machine” (Cincinnati Reds), “The Hawk” (Andre Dawson), “World Series 75: Waving it Fair” (Carlton Fisk), and “Rubberband Man” (Kent Tekulve). “As a longtime baseball fan and artist, it’s a dream come true to have my artwork surrounded by sports history within the National Baseball Hall of Fame,” Mr. Horine said. “I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity to combine my love for baseball and passion for art into nostalgic works that people can enjoy, and to have that resonate with such a large, loyal community is an incredibly humbling experience.” Mr. Horine’s special baseball covers started when a friend suggested he create a comic book-style piece based on former All-Star first baseman Will Clark of the San Francisco Giants,

ARTISTIC HOME RUNS Ventura artist Daniel Horine creates comic book covers honoring baseball heroes

COURTESY PHOTOS

Ventura artist Daniel Horine has combined his love for baseball and comic books with his Pop Fly Pop Shop. He digitally draws comic book covers honoring baseball heroes and creates prints for customers.

Mr. Horine went on to create his popular digital prints and has operated Pop Fly Pop Shop out of his home since 2020. He sells them at popflypopshop.com for a base price of $50. With help from his wife Areni, Mr. Horine sends customers the prints, created in the standard comic book size of 7 by 10.5 inches, in a brown bag similar to the ones used at comic book shops. “The prints are available for one week only. Then the print is retired forever,” Mr. Horine said. In addition to the comic book cover print, each bag contains old baseball cards. (Their 6-year-old son, Daniel Horine Jr., helps with tasks such as stacking the cards.) “The art project is bigger than just the prints,” Mr. Horine told the News-Press. “The nostalgic

experience is just as important to us. “Our business card looks like a baseball ticket,” he said. Mr. Horine has loved baseball since growing up in West Covina in Los Angeles County. “My dad took me to a ton of Dodgers games,” Mr. Horine said. But he admitted he was a better spectator than a player. “In Little League, they tried to get me as far away from the ball as possible — in the far, far right field,” he said. “And I couldn’t hit the ball.” But nothing deterred a love for art and baseball for Mr. Horine, a fan of Jack Kirby, the legendary Thousand Oaks comic books artist and writer. Mr. Horine earned his bachelor’s in visual communication in 2009 at Platt

College in Alhambra. That same year, he moved to Simi Valley and went on to work as an art director at a small animation studio in Burbank. Later he became associate creative director at LinkedIn’s office in Carpinteria. Today Mr. Horine, who moved to Ventura in 2017, devotes all his time to the baseball covers, which he creates at home. He discussed his covers during the News-Press interview, beginning with Babe Ruth’s appearance on “The Curse of the Bambino.” The supposed curse happened when the Boston Red Sox sold Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees, leading to a 1918-2004 dry spell in championships for the Red Sox. Mr. Horine captures the horror Please see HORINE on B2

Mr. Horine honors Mickey Mantle with his “Commerce Comet” cover. At fer left, “The Curse of the Bambino” features legend Babe Ruth, whom the Boston Red Sox sold to the New York Yankees. That supposedly resulted in a longtime curse that cost the Red Sox championships — hence the red sock being cursed by Babe Ruth on the cover. Center, Mr. Horine salutes Ozzie Smith with “The Wizard” cover. The shortstop, who played for the San Diego Padres and the St. Louis Cardinals, was known as “The Wizard of Oz.” At left, Mr. Horine draws his characters digitally. Once his covers are completed, he prints them for customers.

Troop 1 of Los Padres Council held an Eagle Court of Honor to officially recognize six local high school students who have achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. The ceremony took place April 9 at Santa Barbara Community Church. New Eagle Scouts A.J. Heinemann, Peter Moschitto, Davis Peterson, Rowen Manriquez and Matthew Fernandes were joined by Kedrick Condie, who began his scouting career with Troop 1 but completed it with Troop 194 in Colorado. The ceremony was officiated by Troop 1 Scoutmaster Robert Blessing and attended by family and friends of the scouts, Troop 1 adult leaders,and Troop 1’s former Eagle Scouts. Associate Pastor Alan Strout of the First United Methodist Church offered a prayer of thanksgiving and benediction. The new Eagle Scouts were honored with special presentations and certificates, which came from Joe Bauer of the Catholic Committee on Scouting; Major Jose Ramirez of the Military Order of World Wars and Command Sgt. Jonathan Church, representing Veterans of Foreign Wars. The ceremony was followed by a dinner/reception. To become an Eagle Scout, each student must complete a minimum of 21 merit badges, perform community service, serve as a leader in the troop and complete a project that benefits an outside organization — before his or her 18th birthday. A.J.’s, Matthew’s and Rowen’s projects brought improvements to the Lake Cachuma Recreation Area. A.J. planted and installed irrigation for new oak trees. Matthew created and installed a new Wildlife Lake Tours sign. Rowen constructed and installed an information kiosk at the Sweetwater Trailhead near Bradbury Dam. Peter constructed a sandbox and archway for the preschool of the Cliff Drive Care Center. Davis built and installed seven benches for Providence School’s elementary campus. Kedrick designed and installed a billboard for the Western Museum of Mining and Industry in Colorado Springs. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

Donor gives more than $1 million for Samarkand projects By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

An anonymous Santa Barbara donor has given more than a million dollars to Covenant Living at the Samarkand to help the Santa Barbara retirement community reduce carbon emissions. The gift of $1,123,750 is designated for four projects. These measures will reduce the Samarkand’s greenhouse gas emissions by about 10% annually and lower utility costs by more than $80,000 per year, according to a news release. “The goal of reducing carbon emissions and increasing energy efficiency on this campus is a bold, multi-year initiative,” said Terri Cunliffe president and CEO of Covenant Living Communities and Services. “We are thrilled about this very generous gift that will positively impact the Samarkand and the greater Santa Barbara community.” The largest project will be the purchase and installation of solar panels on three residential buildings called “The Magnolias,” beginning with Magnolia North this year, to be followed by the other two buildings in the next two years. Funding is also included for the purchase of a new electric bus with wheelchair access, which can be charged at an electric charging station already installed

Everything else is shrouded in darkness. “He’s performing a curse with a literal red sock in front of him,” Mr. Horine said. To honor Mickey Mantle, Mr. Horine created a cover called the Commerce Comet, which was one of Mr. Mantle’s nicknames. Mr. Horine illustrated that by creating a comet trail behind Mr. Mantle as he swings his bat. Mr. Horine collaborated with longtime pitcher Randy Johnson, who played primarily for the Seattle Mariners and Arizona

For example, he made his covers of Hank Aaron, Darryl Murphy, Rickey Henderson, Norman Wright and Randy Johnson in the style of 1980s comic books. For “The Curse of the Bambino” with Babe Ruth, he relied on a more 1930s/1940s style. Today, Mr. Horine continues to hit home runs with his love for nostalgia. email: dmason@newspress.com

INSTRUCTIONS Fill in the grid so every row, every column and every 3-by-3 grid contains the digits 1 through 9. that means that no number is repeated in any row, column or box. Sudoku puzzles appear on the Diversions page Monday-Saturday and on the crossword solutions page in Sunday’s Life section.

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.

particularly if this person is in a position of authority. LIBRA — Your desire to respect and honor the special someone in your life clashes today with an equally strong desire to become a passionate persuader, Libra. The secret to resolving this conflict lies in knowing that the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Also, if you’re going to make the most of both drives, you need to tune in to your partner’s thoughts and feelings. SCORPIO — Have you been harboring a secret desire for someone you believe thinks of you only as a friend, Scorpio? Don’t be surprised if you learn differently today. This is a day when hidden passions may suddenly be revealed - and your friend could unexpectedly divulge a covert attraction to you! SAGITTARIUS — Today you could encounter a work colleague and suddenly feel an unexpected romantic attraction, Sagittarius. This could catch you off guard because you never before thought about this person in that way. Before jumping in with both feet, give yourself some time to come down. You’re feeling especially sensual today, so this might well pass by tomorrow. Stay grounded for now. CAPRICORN — A sum of money that you might have been expecting from far away may be delayed, Capricorn. This could be frustrating for you, but don’t panic. The money is indeed coming. So unless your situation is urgent, just sit back and wait. If you want to check with those who are sending it, by all means do so. AQUARIUS — Sex and romance are top priority for you today, Aquarius. You’re looking especially beautiful, you’re feeling especially sensual, and you could well attract admiring looks from strangers. You might want to indulge in some new clothes or perhaps new cologne. This is definitely the perfect day to schedule an intimate evening with a love partner. PISCES — If you’re single, Pisces, tonight you could find yourself longing for a lover from the past and wondering what’s happening with this person right now. If you’re currently involved, you might be experiencing a temporary separation from your beloved, and could feel inclined to spend the evening at home.

HOROSCOPE ARIES — Are you waiting for a love partner to phone you at work, Aries? As much as you want to hear from your friend, you could well get so caught up in your work that you wouldn’t hear a marching band go by. As you work, be sure to keep one ear tuned to the real world by looking up or getting up and walking around occasionally. TAURUS — Your sensuality is tempered today with a touch of the mystical sort of romantic feeling found in fairy tales, Taurus. This might be unusual for you, but your current partner is going to love it! If you’re single, you’re likely to attract a lot of attention and possibly meet someone new and exciting. GEMINI — A desire to spruce up your home might start with a thorough cleaning from attic to basement, Gemini. You could go through that chore like gangbusters and then do some repairs or go for the fun stuff, such as redecorating with plants or even some new furniture. You can have a lot of fun with this, especially if your partner or friends help out. Work hard and enjoy your day! CANCER — A love partner could contact you out of the blue, Cancer, perhaps proposing that the two of you get together tonight - alone. You’re in just the mood for this, since you’re feeling especially sexy and not particularly afraid to show it. An evening at home or in a dark corner of your favorite restaurant might be just the ticket. LEO — Have you been waiting to hear about some funds, Leo, perhaps to create a piece of art, write a book, or make a documentary film? If so, you could have a lot to celebrate today when you receive news that the money is forthcoming! Don’t be surprised if there’s a delay, however. The project is still going to happen, but just a little later than you’d hoped. VIRGO — Someone at your workplace could suddenly find you very attractive and make no secret of it today, Virgo. How you respond, of course, is up to you, but if you don’t reciprocate this person’s feelings, don’t respond positively simply because you’re flattered. This could cause trouble for you down the line,

Today is Earth Day, and that means the opening of four exhibits at Santa Barbara Botanic Garden; MOXI, the Wolf Museum of Exploration + Innovation; Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara and Old Mission Santa Barbara Museum. The exhibits are part of a countywide collaboration entitled “Impact: Climate Change & the Urgency of Now.” Several “Impact” exhibits are already open, and more openings and activities are planned for coming months by the new, 14-member Environmental Alliance of Santa Barbara County Museums. “The exhibits and activities are as varied as the organizations presenting them, yet we are united in our vision to inspire public action,” said Steve Windhager, executive director of Santa Barbara Botanic Garden. “It’s time to get creative about addressing climate change, literally. Our organizations are experienced at presenting complex concepts and ideas in innovative ways, and we each bring a different perspective to engage with our visitors.” Exhibits have opened at the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum, Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History Sea Center and Wildling Museum of Art & Nature in Solvang. Partners with May openings include the Elverhøj Museum of History & Art in Solvang, Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara Historical Museum and Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. Special events are planned by UCSB Art, Design & Architecture Museum, and Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation and Santa Barbara Zoo.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER On 5/25/2022 at 10:00 AM, CLEAR RECON CORP, as duly appointed trustee under and pursuant to Deed of Trust recorded 10/22/2003 as Instrument No. 2003-0145698 of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of Santa Barbara County, State of CALIFORNIA executed by: JOHN F. MADERA, AN UNMARRIED MAN WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH, CASHIER’S CHECK DRAWN ON A STATE OR NATIONAL BANK, A CHECK DRAWN BY A STATE OR FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, OR A CHECK DRAWN BY A STATE OR FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION, SAVINGS ASSOCIATION, OR SAVINGS BANK SPECIFIED IN SECTION 5102 OF THE FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE; AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE COUNTY COURTHOUSE, SANTA BARBARA COUNTY COURTHOUSE, 1100 ANACAPA STREET, SANTA BARBARA, CA 93101 all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and State described as: MORE ACCURATELY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 634 SAN RICARDO DRIVE, SANTA BARBARA, CA 93111 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $162,315.70 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 099197-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 099197-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.
