Fitzgibbons gives COVID-19 update, discusses risk to children By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Dr. Lynn Fitzgibbons

NEWS-PRESS FILE

Dr. Lynn Fitzgibbons, chair of the infectious disease division at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, provided the community with an update on the state of COVID19 in the region during a virtual meeting Thursday evening. Much of Thursday’s conversation centered on the impact of COVID-19 on children. Statewide data shows that cases among kids and teens as old as 17 are increasing in California, and have been on the rise since April of last year, Dr. Fitzgibbons said. She added that in large part, this increase can be tied to widespread vaccine coverage among the

older population. Despite this rise among teens and adolescents, Dr. Fitzgibbons ensured that the cases among the adolescent population are frequently mild, and often, children experience the same symptoms as adults who contract a less severe case of COVID19. “What’s interesting with kids and adults is they are probably more likely to have milder or slightly different, maybe allergic type symptoms even, you know, just simply a runny nose,” Dr. Fitzgibbons said. “The good news, again, is that most children are recovering within one or two weeks, and it’s really uncommon for kids to have symptoms beyond eight weeks, but not unheard of.” Among the children who do get infected

with COVID-19, Dr. Fitzgibbons said that hospitalization is rare, citing studies that say the rate is around 2%. Those most likely to contract severe disease are children who are immunocompromised, have complicated medical histories, have a higher BMI or have asthma, she said. Nationwide, hospitals have charted an increase in COVID-19 hospitalizations among children in recent weeks, which has prompted concerns among some locals about the threat of COVID-19 to their own children. Dr. Fitgibbons addressed these concerns during Thursday’s meeting, ensuring parents that Cottage Hospitals across the county are prepared to treat children infected with COVID-19, though the risk of hospitalization remains low.

“Here in Santa Barbara, we’re very fortunate that we have a great children’s hospital here within Cottage Hospital with a lot of capacity, with a lot of excellent local expertise,” Dr. Fitzgibbons said. “We’ve had pediatric cases actually throughout the pandemic. We have continued to care for children who have come in with severe COVID-19, both ICU level-care and unfortunately, sometimes as well as on the general floor, and we’ve been able to do that safely and have good outcomes.” “We have the capacity and the expertise, but it’s something that we’re watching very, very carefully.” In addition to a discussion on COVID-19 among children, Dr. Fitzgibbons also took Please see COVID on A2

Santa Barbara Junior High staff members, wearing casual clothes and name tags, gathered in the school’s new building Thursday for a ribboncutting ceremony of the school’s new multi-purpose building. The building houses the kitchen, cafeteria, gymnasium and locker rooms and replaces aging structures that were not up to current building codes. Teachers and other members of the SBJH team chatted or dribbled a basketball on the new hardwood floors. There was a first-day-of-school feeling. For their second project unveiling in two days, Santa Barbara Unified School District officials stepped up to a podium to commemorate the accomplishment.

The City of Santa Barbara Planning Commission approved 6-1, with Sheila Lodge dissenting, the concept of a 39-unit mixed-use development at 630 Chapala Street — including a 2’11” extension above the city’s height limit. The project still has multiple steps before final approval, including design review by the Historic Landmarks Commission. If it passes, it will be the second project without resident parking approved under the City’s Average Unit-Size Density (AUD) Incentive Program. The other development is not yet under construction. Applicant Tom Meaney, an architect, is hoping bicyclists would move into the property. His plans only include one bicycle spot per unit, which commissioners advised him to change. Mr. Meaney appeared open to ideas, except when Chair Deborah Schwartz suggested he look into public-private partnerships. Why? The development is going to be a family business. “It’s a complicated enough partnership between my uncle’s family, my mom’s family, getting the 13 grandkids to agree on anything,” he said. His grandfather owned the land when Volkswagen established a dealership, and he passed the property down. His cousin owns the Wildcat Lounge adjacent to the property. Commissioners and public comments had concerns the proximity to the lounge would be a problem for the residential development. “I hope that the introduction of housing does not endanger

nightlife,” Commissioner Roxana Bonderson said. “So for any reason you don’t want to live upstairs from a nightclub, then you probably have to look elsewhere for your housing.” Ms. Lodge and Vice Chair Gabriel Escobedo said they were “interested” to see how a residential building without a parking lot would perform. But Mr. Escobedo saw the project more positively than Ms. Lodge, who remarked that her friends once disliked living downtown for the noise. Commissioner Jay Higgins noted that parking is an amenity, so the loss of parking should make the units more affordable. Mr. Meaney said the loss of parking was a conscious choice to create an arcade between the development’s three separate buildings. He harnesses light with this central courtyard and arcade design, and he also expanded ceiling height to bring an airy feel to the apartments. The consequence is an almost three-feet intrusion above the height limit. The building is next to the old Macy’s and lacks views around it, so he justified his fourstory building. He also hopes to gather solar energy, which is improved by the taller height. Mr. Meaney also included a rooftop deck in his drawings. Another unique feature is livework spaces using an existing building.

A 1969 Cessna 172K landed at River Bend Bike Park in Lompoc on Wednesday.

Small plane lands at park after engine malfunction LOMPOC —A small private plane made an emergency landing Wednesday afternoon at River Bend Bike Park in Lompoc. No injuries were reported. The pilot of the 1969 Cessna 172K, a licensed commercial pilot in his 50s from Paso Robles, was flying six miles east of Lompoc at an altitude of about 2,000 feet. The engine began to stall in the wet weather for undetermined reasons. According to Lompoc Police Department Sgt. Bryan Dillard, the pilot tried to safely glide to the airport but was unable to reach

it. So the pilot circled back and landed at the park. “It was a very soft landing, very controlled,” Lompoc Fire Department Battalion Chief Steve Terrones said. Emergency responders received notification at 2:14 p.m., but the plane had landed at least 30 minutes prior, said Sgt. Dillard. The Federal Aviation Administration is aware of the incident. — Annelise Hanshaw

stock of the Delta variant’s impact and prevalence in Santa Barbara County during Thursday’s meeting, overviewing a timeline of the variant’s spread from India to the U.S. According to data charted by health officials across the world, the variant gained traction in India in the spring before spreading to the U.K. a few months later. The variant then gained a foothold in the U.S. in late June, causing increased case rates nationwide. At this point, the Delta variant has become the most prevalent variant in the United States, and accounts for between 90% to 100% of new cases in the U.S., Dr. Fitzgibbons shared. This is largely due to the virus’ increased transmissibility, which studies estimate can spread from one person to about seven others, Dr. Fitzgibbons said. This is higher than the original COVID-19 strain, which experts believe could spread from one patient to three others. “Delta is doing something that is giving it an advantage over all other variants, and it’s replacing them,” Dr. Fitzgibbons said. As a result of the delta variant, the county is witnessing a

they were designed to do.” Dr. Fitzgibbons shared data charted by Cottage Health’s Dr. Brett Tande on Thursday, which revealed that during the Winter surge in cases, hospitalizations and case rates were closely correlated. Therefore, when cases were high, hospitalizations were also high. This same correlation, however, has not yet been charted with the surge of delta in the county. According to data collected thus far, despite high case rates, hospitalizations at Cottage Hospitals specifically have not spiked as high as the previous Winter surge. Dr. Fitzgibbons said there could be many explanations for this — perhaps more cases are occurring among adolescents that are less likely to be hospitalized or people experiencing breakthrough infections are less likely to be hospitalized. However, she added that the graphic does give her hope that perhaps the delta variant will not strain the hospital as badly as previous surges. “As much as, you know, I think we’re ready for whatever the surge throws out at us, I’m optimistic that, at least this early data is promising, that we’re perhaps less likely to hit quite so hard,” Dr. Fitzgibbons said.

Santa Barbara Unified Project Manager Richard Whirty cuts the ceremonial ribbon alongside Santa Barbara Unified and Santa Barbara Junior High staff.

Continued from Page A1 Dr. Hilda Maldonado called the project “momentous.” “When I arrived a little over a year ago, I only saw dirt, and maybe some columns,” she said. “I don’t think I came back after that because I had to deal with this other little pandemic thing that was happening.” She was hired by the board as the pandemic disrupted education worldwide. She inherited ongoing construction projects and has shown off the staff that has worked throughout the process. SBJH is going through a leadership change, so Assistant Principal Kristin Lindquist has rallied staff during this time. Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Education Shawn Carey thanked her for her work, and teachers nodded and clapped. “It’s been a long time coming and a lot of union, a lot of sacrifices in the short run to be able to open up this facility today,” Ms. Carey said. Santa Barbara Unified’s project manager Richard Whirty, while relaying the project’s history, expanded on the importance of a

team. While excavating the project site, his team found an old teapot he estimates to be around 150 years old. It survived the earthquake in 1925 and the pouring of 60-foot piers in 1930. The teapot may be missing its lid, but the crew found the pot and its arm safe. “There’s a lot to be said for being lucky. And I have been extremely lucky in having the team that I worked with on this project,” Mr. Whirty said. A handful of architects and construction managers attended the reception, admiring the final product. The finished building looks nearly identical to the renderings architects imagined months ago. The exterior looks much more modern than a William H. Weeks (the main school building’s architect) design. But its roof references Spanish colonial architecture. The building is raised four feet higher than the main school building in anticipation of future sea-level rise, said Mr. Whirty. Inside, a vaulted ceiling and wood beams draw the eye up and clerestory windows bring in sunshine without blinding the athletes that will play on the

County reports 184 new COVID-19 cases, one new death By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department reported 184 new cases of COVID19 on Thursday and one new death. The individual who died was over the age of 70, had underlying medical conditions and resided in Santa Maria. Across the county, officials reported 55 new cases in Santa Maria on Thursday, 33 new cases in Lompoc and the communities of Mission Hills and Vandenberg Village, 25 new cases in Santa Barbara and 20 cases in Orcutt. Twelve new cases were reported in the Santa Ynez Valley, 10 in Isla Vista and nine in Goleta. Five new infections were reported in both the north county unincorporated areas, which includes the City of Guadalupe, and the South Coast unincorporated areas, which includes the City of Carpinteria. Four cases were reported in the unincorporated Goleta Valley and Gaviota, one infection was reported in the Lompoc Federal Prison and five cases were pending. On Thursday, 46 people were hospitalized with COVID-19, and 12 of those patients were recovering in the ICU.

As of the latest vaccine data from Wednesday, 62.9% of the county’s eligible 12 and older population is fully vaccinated, and 71.6% of that population has received at least one dose.

SBCC hosts signing day for Promise grant recipients By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

SBCC welcomed its incoming class of Promise grant recipients during a signing day event on Thursday, giving some students their first glimpse of the campus before the fall semester begins in less than two weeks. The SBCC Promise program offers all local high school students enrolled in school districts between Gaviota and Carpinteria the opportunity to attend their first two years of college free at SBCC. The program is funded by the SBCC Foundation and was founded in 2016. During an average year, the grant typically covers tuition for 600 to 800 students, according to SBCC officials. Thursday’s signing day event took place outside the college’s campus store, where hundreds gathered to collect their books, supplies and a “Vaquero Pride” t-shirt. Lively music played as students picked up materials and chatted with representatives from the school’s enrollment and financial aid departments. Elizabeth Stein, a student success coordinator for SBCC’s enrollment services, played a leading role in organizing Thursday’s event. Ms. Stein said the event was inspired by former first lady Michelle Obama’s “Better Make Room” initiative, which encouraged high schools

to celebrate graduating students no matter what they chose next in their career, whether that be college, the military or entering the workforce. Initially, local officials hoped to host the signing day event at the various local high schools this May, but those plans were sidelined due to the pandemic. As she looked out over the group of students gathered for the celebratory event on Thursday, Ms. Stein told the News-Press that the goal of the signing day was to “instill pride” into the upcoming

class ahead of the fall semester. “(The event) is to get them excited, make sure that they know that they’re welcome here and that we want them here,” Ms. Stein said. “This is a great place, and they should be very proud of themselves.” During the upcoming school year, the vast majority of SBCC’s classes will still be taught remotely, though some will be held in person on campus. With the COVID-19 pandemic shutting down campuses and moving classes online, Thursday’s event

was the first opportunity some students had to be on campus in person before the fall semester begins, Ms. Stein said. “(The pandemic) has been tough, especially for you know, our largest demographic, which is 18, to under 25-year-olds,” Ms. Stein said. “So, it’s been really tough for a lot of them. So just, you know, (this event) gives them a little bit of connection to the campus. Some of these students, this is their very first time coming to the campus store, because they’re just starting this fall.” Jackie Urrutia was among the crowd of incoming SBCC students in attendance at Thursday’s event. Ms. Urrutia graduated from Carpinteria High School this year and will be attending SBCC as a Promise grant recipient in the fall. Going into the school year at SBCC, she told the News-Press she’s grateful for the Promise grant and the opportunity it will afford her to begin her degree in finance for free. “It’s so amazing for me that I get these first two years free,” Ms. Urrutia said. “And it really is so beneficial, like tremendously. And I’m really excited to start at SBCC. It’s a beautiful campus here.” After the last year and a half of online school, Ms. Urrutia said she’s excited to meet new friends and students during her time at SBCC. The college will begin the fall semester on Aug. 23. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

¡Olé! Flamenco dancing and more inspires crowd at Fiesta Finale Gala

F R I DAY, AUGUS T 13 , 2 0 21

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Flamenco dancers expressed their souls during a Fiesta Finale Gala in which the baton was passed from this year’s La Presidenta to next year’s. Ricardo Chavez & Company emphasized heartfelt emotions during its flamenco dancing and singing at the Profant Foundation for the Arts’ event Sunday. It took place in the Spanishstyle courtyard at the historic El Paseo Restaurant in downtown Santa Barbara. The flamenco company encouraged audience members to cheer “¡Olé!” and

REVIEW the impressed audience did just that. Dynamics were also stressed during exciting dancing by the Arthur Murray Dancers. But sometimes it takes just a single voice to make an impression. And on Sunday, that voice belonged to tenor Marco Antonio Labastida, whose Latin serenades inspired romantic glances among couples. And it was incredible to hear just how long Mr. Labastida could sustain a single note and maintain and even expand its power. “¡Olé!” indeed. Audience members also enjoyed the performances by Jessamyn Vierdo, who performed Kitri Variations from

Jessamyn Vedro performs an excerpt from the ballet “Don Quixote.”

Audience members were encouraged to yell “¡Olé!” as Ricardo Chavez & Company performed their flamenco dancing and singing.

FYI For more about the Profant Foundation for the Arts, go to profantfoundation.org.

FRITZ OLENBERGER PHOTOS

Acts 1 and 3 from a ballet perfect for Fiesta, “Don Quixote.” And the youngest performers, the SB Piano Brothers, aka Rhyan and Zeyn Shweyk, left the audience smiling. One played the accordion, an instrument perfect for suddenly transporting audience members to Spain. It felt like a journey to another time, another place. The evening began and ended with the Martinez Brothers performing their Serenade for Dinner and Dancing. The event also featured legendary pianist Gil Rosas and Tableau Vivant performing “The Melodies of Fiesta.”

All of it was for a good cause, raising money for scholarships. The fundraising included a lively auction that raised thousands of dollars and included everything from jewelry to a photo reprint with distinct colors that made it look like a painting. And the crowd heard inspirational remarks from La Presidenta Stephanie Petlow, who passed the baton on to next year’s La Presidenta. Then audience members yelled, “Viva la Fiesta!” And they were probably thinking — what else? — “¡Olé!” email: dmason@newspress.com

The SB Piano Brothers, aka Rhyan and Zeyn Shweyk, made audience members feel like they were suddenly transported to Spain. An accordion in the right hands has a way of doing that.

The Santa Barbara Symphony appointed Nancy Golden, Palmer G. Jackson Jr. and Simon Knight to its board of directors. The symphony chooses board members based on a shared mission to engage the community through music. Ms. Golden is a returning member of the board. She is a native of Southport, Conn., and attended Russell Sage College, where she studied English. Before many musical and philanthropic pursuits, Ms. Golden worked in London as an American publishing consultant before taking on management positions at Time Inc. for 21 years. She moved to San Francisco and established a fundraising consulting business in 1987, working with a variety of clients including the California Symphony, CAL Performances, Merola Opera Program and the Philharmonic Baroque Orchestra. She served on Opera Santa Barbara’s board for many years and was the chair 2016-2018. She is a current League of American Orchestras member. Ms. Golden enjoys reaching out to the community as a Meals on Wheels driver, a role she has taken for over two decades. A fourth-generation Santa Barbara native, Mr. Jackson is a graduate of Yale University and UC Berkeley’s Haas School of

Business. His career has encompassed areas of marketing, high technology, nonprofit management and fundraising. He is the executive chairman of The Granada as well as the managing trustee of the Ann Jackson Family Foundation. He is active in the Santa Barbara business community. Mr. Jackson was part of American Riviera Bank’s founding in 2005 and was one of its directors until 2009. He has benefited Santa Barbara’s arts and education communities in many volunteer roles. He was a trustee of the Lobero Theatre Foundation for 11 years, chairing the board from 2007 to 2010. He joined the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History’s board in 2006 and chaired its $20 million capital campaign. In 2018, the museum designated him as a life trustee. He is a board member of the Santa Barbara Foundation Roundtable and has chaired the organization’s annual summit since 2016. Mr. Jackson is the executive chairman on the board of The Granada. In the past, he has served as a trustee of the Santa Barbara Foundation, Cate School, Crane Country Day School and the Santa Barbara Boys & Girls Club. Mr. Knight, founder and president of Satya Analytics, specializes in cutting-edge marketing and analytics. Satya

Analytics is growing for its success showing customers the reasons behind purchases. The company supports organizations that may not be able to afford the price tag of big data through the Satya Foundation. The foundation also provides insight to local nonprofits, like Women’s Economic Ventures. Mr. Knight graduated with an MBA from Warwick Business School, where he honed in on data science. He has more than 30 years of experience in global information technology. He has taken on leadership positions, such as U.S. president of Jensen and Partners International and global CIO of JKON Office Solutions. Apart from his career in data, he enjoys the expression music provides. He studied with Kerry Camden, bassoon professor at the Royal College of Music. Mr. Knight currently performs with amateur orchestras and chamber ensembles. He serves as a board member of the Santa Barbara Chamber Music Society. He co-founded the Garage Chamber Orchestra during the pandemic. The group gives musicians a safe place to perform while creating fundraising opportunities for nonprofits.

ARIES — You may look at your orderly closet, well-organized desk, and clean bathroom and be proud, Aries. Other people may fret about suddenly having to get their lives in order, but you’re already there. Perhaps you don’t realize it because you’re such a perfectionist. Perhaps you don’t give yourself enough credit for all the work you do. Give yourself a pat on the back today. TAURUS — You could feel blocked, Taurus, like you’re in a trap. Perhaps your friends are influencing you into believing one thing, while your family has you trained to believe another. You wear different masks in different situations so you may have forgotten the real person underneath. Things are in conflict, and you may be forced to make important decisions. The truth is the only way to escape the trap. GEMINI — Remember that it takes energy to repress and bottle up your feelings, Gemini. Without realizing it you may be stuffing a great deal of emotion inside while trying to ignore it. The truth is that expressing these feelings anger, happiness, fear, self-doubt - will energize and free you. The atmosphere around you will lighten up and you’ll be able to interact more openly with others. CANCER — Deep inside you know the right thing to do, Cancer. Perhaps you just saw someone drop money on the ground and you picked it up. Do you return it or pocket it for yourself? You’re likely to feel like you have the devil on one shoulder arguing with the angel on the other. It’s important that you listen to the angel. Do what you know is right. LEO — Your mastery of your mind and ability to stay disciplined about your goals is impressive, Leo. Others recognize and appreciate your efforts much more than usual. You may be called upon to assist in some other project or someone else’s emotional drama because you have the stability required to remedy the situation. Don’t downplay your talent in this area. VIRGO — You may feel as if someone or something has just reformatted your hard drive, Virgo. Suddenly things are running much more smoothly. The key now is to find the discipline and organization to understand this new system fully. Streamline your thoughts and be more efficient about how you use your energy. November You’ll be more Monday, 16,effective 2015 overall if you can keep from

scattering your resources. LIBRA — You may be forced to put your thoughts into neat little boxes that can be easily understood and processed, Libra. Your ideas are abstract and don’t always make reasonable sense. It’s OK to have a bit of mystery about things that rational minds can’t explain. Although you may feel like the goal is to arrange things in an orderly way, don’t feel like you have to do it. SCORPIO — This may be a difficult day in which you feel pressured to get things done, Scorpio, yet there’s indecisiveness and hesitation lingering in your mind. Between a rock and hard place is no easy spot, but you’ll find your way out. Perhaps the thing you should do is make a move - any move. Once you get the energy flowing, the direction you need to take will be clear. SAGITTARIUS — There’s tremendous discipline in your way of thinking, Sagittarius, which is helping you advance toward your goals. Don’t expect that you will solve every problem right away. Keep in mind that you will be able to sort through issues more efficiently. Once you have things sufficiently fleshed out, it will be easier to put the pieces back together. Stay detached instead of getting emotionally involved. CAPRICORN — Your thoughts may be strained, Capricorn, and you could find it difficult to process things that are normally no problem. Try not to force answers that don’t seem to want to come. If the information flows easily and smoothly, you will know that it’s meant for you. If you have to pull teeth in order to get at the truth, you may need to back off. AQUARIUS — Your thinking may have emotional overtones that prevent you from seeing the truth clearly, Aquarius. Do your best to tame your feelings in order to let more rational thoughts rise to the surface. There’s a stability that comes when you honor your emotions from a detached perspective instead of immediately taking action in response to how you feel. Think about this as you engage with others. PISCES — The thing you dread the most could be the very thing you need the most in your life, Pisces. You’re at a point right now when the lessons that come might be hard to swallow, but they’re necessary. Don’t try to resist what you know you must face. Approach things with courage instead of fear and you can conquer anything. Once you climb the mountain, the rest is downhill.

CODEWORD PUZZLE

SUDOKU

Thought for Today

Codeword is a fun game with simple rules, and a great way to test your knowledge of the English language. 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.

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 9/15/2021 at 1:00 PM, CLEAR RECON CORP, as duly appointed trustee under and pursuant to Deed of Trust recorded 9/6/2007 as Instrument No. 2007-0064507 of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of Santa Barbara County, State of CALIFORNIA executed by: BRIAN P MILBURN, AND LAURA J MILBURN, HUSBAND AND WIFE AS COMMUNITY PROPERTY WITH RIGHT OF SURVIVORSHIP 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 NORTH DOOR OF THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE COUNTY COURTHOUSE, 1100 ANACAPA ST., 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: 223 CONEJO RD, SANTA BARBARA, CA 93103-1639 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: $120,352.36 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 (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 094219-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 094219-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.

‘No woof’ adoption event at Lompoc shelter Santa Barbara County Animal Services is holding a “No Woof” adoption event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday for those who prefer furry companions that meow, chirp, hop and purr. It will be located at the Lompoc Animal Shelter, 1501 W Central Avenue. All pet owners, even those whose “man’s best friend” barks, may attend for free microchipping offered as part of the event. Animals up for adoption will include cats, kittens, rabbits, guinea pigs and maybe even poultry. They will be available at half the price of the usual adoption fee. This is the first adoption event held in Lompoc since the pandemic’s inception. The shelter has been operating by appointment, but no appointment is needed for the “No Woof” event. “While we’ve continued to provide all other services throughout the pandemic, such as responding to injured stray animals in need and helping reunite owners with their lost pets, we are thrilled to finally have the chance to provide adoption opportunities locally,” Animal Services Director Angela Yates said in a news release. “We hope that many Lompoc residents will come out to meet the animals and take advantage of the free
