By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

As the final day of Christmas shopping came to a close, some Santa Barbara residents got their last-minute shopping done while others seemed to have settled for last-minute online orders. A handful of shops on State Street in the Paseo Nuevo Mall opened up early to accommodate the shoppers who procrastinated, and while business is obviously slower due to COVID-19 restrictions and the stay-at-home order, some sales associates said they saw more shoppers than usual. Bluemercury on State Street opened at 7:45 a.m. on Christmas Eve instead of its usual 10 a.m. Beauty adviser Brandon Cortez told the News-Press that they were hoping to snag some of the day-before customers. “I do see that there’s more people coming in,” he said. “It seems to me like they’re doing a lot of their shopping last minute. It’s still on the slower side, but it’s kicking in.” State Street’s Poppy Boutique, on the other hand, opened at its normal time, but salesperson Meg Davis said she was considering closing early for Christmas Eve. She added that the week had been pretty busy. “We have been busy,” she told the News-Press. “Sunday, Monday, Tuesday … we had good days. “People come in and say they want to shop locally. They want to come into the smaller stores and help them survive. The people who live here see what’s happening and they see the need to come downtown, but a lot of them said they haven’t been downtown for months.” At Sunglass Brands International, Manager Minesh Kantaria said business has been

Record-breaking holiday gift drive Annual “Christmas Wishes” drive receives 600 gifts By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

While the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted nearly all walks of life, it couldn’t prevent residents from showing the holiday spirit. An example of this was seen for Court Appointed Special Advocates of Santa Barbara County’s annual “Christmas Wishes” gift drive, which saw record-breaking donations made this year. A total of 600 gifts were donated, along with more than $6,500 in cash and gift card donations in support of the effort.

The annual gift collection has been held for the past 14 years, but there has never been a year with so many children in need, according to Kim Colby Davis, executive director of CASA of Santa Barbara County. “We have been overwhelmed with the community’s response to this year’s event,” Ms. Davis said in a news release. “When we started this years ago, we collected close to 100 gifts. Today, we are happy to announce that more than 600 gifts have been Please see casa on A6

GOLETA — The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department is reminding the public about the importance of being safe and sober when you are driving this holiday season. The Sheriff’s Office will have personnel on patrol looking for drivers suspected of being under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. The enforcement effort is part of the national campaign, “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,� intended to show zero tolerance for drunk driving and to keep roads safe, said Raquel Zick, sheriff’s spokeswoman. “This year has been challenging and difficult on all of us,� Sgt. John Maxwell said in a statement. “The last thing we need is more heartbreak and tragedy. Make the right choice by not driving impaired so everyone can have a safe holiday.� Authorities remind the public that impaired driving is not just from alcohol.

Fire damages motor home SANTA MARIA — Several people were able to escape injury after a motor home caught fire Thursday morning in the Santa Maria Valley, authorities said. Santa Barbara County Fire Department crews were dispatched around 12:40 a.m. Thursday to a structure fire in the 1100 block of Clubhouse Drive. Arriving units reported a motor home that was 50% consumed by fire near an adjacent structure, said Capt. Daniel Bertucelli, fire spokesman. Two people were able to flee from the motor home, and all other occupants in the adjacent structure were able to exit safely. Fire crews prevented the fire from spreading to the nearby structure, Capt. Bertucelli said. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Santa visits United Boys and Girls Clubs By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

COVID-19 can’t stop Santa Claus! While the United Boys and Girls Clubs of Santa Barbara County weren’t able to host their large brunch event with Santa at Camp Whittier due to COVID-19 restrictions, the clubs were able to host brunch with Santa for cohorts of members at each of their five locations. Santa visited all five sites, and

each location served breakfast. In addition, each kid received a toy, a $25 gift card from Target and a special toy donated by Travis and Amanda Twining, owners of Giffin Rental Company. The Paskin Group and Paskin family volunteered to help serve the Lompoc club, where they assisted with the meal, the hot chocolate bar and helped kids make their own ornaments. “By far, my favorite moment of the event was seeing the pure joy in the kids’ faces as they opened

their presents from Santa,� said Michael Paskin, CEO of The Paskin Group. “For some of them, those will be the only gifts they receive this year, and knowing that my company and I had a small part in making that happen filled everyone in the gym with the holiday spirit.� Visit unitedbg.org or call 805681-1315 for questions or interest in what the UBGC does. email: gmccormick@newspress. com

Rain possible tonight, early next week By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Rain showers that have thus far eluded Santa Barbara County could return tonight, with a more significant storm system on track for Sunday afternoon through Monday night. Light sprinkles were forecast for Christmas Eve, with a 10% chance of rain forecast tonight and a 20% chance on Saturday morning, according to the National Weather Service in Oxnard. In addition to precipitation, cloudy skies are expected over the next several days, dropping temperatures about five degrees cooler than normal in most locations. As the front washes out, there will be rainfall across the northern slopes of the Ventura County mountains and northwest Los Angeles County through Saturday morning. Most areas in Santa Barbara County are expected to receive less than a tenth of an inch, according to the Weather Service. Through Monday, rain totals between one-quarter and onethird of an inch are expected for coastal areas and valleys, with one-third of an inch up to 1.25 inches across mountains and foothills. The rainfall rates could bring minor urban flooding to the area, and minor mud and debris flows in and around recent burn areas. Some leftover, light rain and mountain snow could linger Monday night, followed by dry conditions in the region Tuesday and Wednesday. Frost and freezes are possible Monday night, officials said.

COURTESY PHOTOS

At left, members of the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians Tribal Elders donated an assortment of gifts for the event, helping make this year’s event the largest in recent years. At right, among the gifts provided this year were children’s bicycles. CASA worked in collaboration with Child Welfare Services and other partner agencies and was able to fill the holiday wishes of every child in the court’s care due to abuse, neglect, or abandonment.

Continued from Page A1 safely collected and donated to children in need this holiday season.� CASA worked in collaboration with Child Welfare Services and other partner agencies and was able to fill the holiday wishes of every child in the court’s care due to abuse, neglect, or abandonment. “We could not do a project of this magnitude without the support of our wonderful community. We had more than 31 groups and individuals who organized and provided gifts for all of the

children in care,� said Ms. Davis. “We do our annual gift drive a little bit different than most toy drives because we serve children from newborn to age 20. “The variety of ages means that their wishes and needs are widely different, and a toy drive would not meet the needs of our tiniest and our older youth.� Nearly 300 CASA volunteers took part in this year’s efforts. In the case of the almost 200 children on CASA’s waiting list, their county social worker made sure to learn each of their wishes. Local service groups worked collaboratively as they sought a positive way to give back during this challenging year.

“We didn’t know what to expect this year as we embarked on the annual gift drive,� Ms. Davis explained. “We know that the pandemic has impacted so many in our community, and yet we had to try to make sure that children experienced the joy of a wish filled at Christmas.� Ms. Davis praised the donors who took part in the event. “I can’t even express how touched we are by the thoughtfulness of each gift,� she said. “It’s inspiring to see how the community understands how important it is to give each child something they need or especially wish for at Christmas.�

Kira Cosio, CASA’s associate director of donor engagement, spent the past few weeks traveling to areas throughout the county to collect the donated gifts. All county health guidelines were observed during the duration of the collection and distribution. “Despite all of the setbacks of the year, it was amazing to see how generous people are,� said Ms. Cosio. “Our donors took so much pride in picking out the perfect gift; I loved seeing all of the different festive gift bags, fun toys, and adorable clothes they chose! “The highlight for me was meeting with long time CASA supporters as well as new donors,

even while we were wearing our masks, socially distant, or arranging a contactless pickup – we got the job done!� CASA thanked all the donors who contributed this year, including the following groups and organizations: 30th CPTS, A G I A, Atlas Copco Santa Maria, American General Media, Child Support Services of Santa Barbara County, Conqs for Christ at Cabrillo Senior High School, DenMat, Fighting Back Santa Maria Valley, Guild Mortgage Company, Hacienda Realty, Hilton Garden Inn Lompoc, Junior League of Santa Barbara, Laguna Blanca School, Landmark Global, Kiwanis

pretty slow — much slower than last year. “I think we’re slower because with the lockdown, people aren’t coming from L.A., and that’s what our business is based on. They’re not here,� he told the News-Press. “After the shutdown, it just died off because the restaurants aren’t busy so then we become not busy and those people don’t come from out of town. It’s dramatically slower.� He added that the shop doesn’t have a website, so all the sales must come from in-person retail. Find Your Feet on State Street specializes in stocking stuffers, but store supervisor Goriela Garcia told the NewsPress that it’s not nearly as busy as it has been in past holiday seasons. She said that typical Christmas weekdays in the past could reach up to $10,000

in revenue, and this year, they haven’t even hit $5,000. “I want to say it (the lockdown) has something to do with it, but also, a lot of people are going toward online shopping right now,� Ms. Garcia said. “There’s a lot of deals out there, and we’re all trying to safely distance, so a lot of people are just doing online shopping and not going out as much.� However, she said she can see a push by Santa Barbara residents to shop locally. “Some stores started opening earlier, and it’s really pushing other people to come out to their city stores and shop,� Ms. Garcia said. “They also have the local markets in Paseo Nuevo, so I think there’s a push.� Whether ordered online or ordered in-store to support local, residents of Santa Barbara still hope to give the best gifts to their loved ones, providing some sense of normalcy. email: gmccormick@newspress. com

NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

ou never know when a pirate will show up. One actually got into the holiday spirit and joined Santa Claus, reindeer and, no kidding, unicorns in the 1500 block of Veronica Place in Santa Barbara. They’re part of Christmas decorations gracing homes in Santa Barbara County. News-Press photographer Kenneth Song found

everything from Nativity scenes to snowmen and candy canes as he took pictures of the area’s transformation into the North Pole. In fact, many homes became richly decorated and boosted the holiday spirit. It’s enough to make you say (drum roll, please) … Merry Christmas! email: dmason@newspress.com

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS

“Don’t let the past steal your present. This is the message of Christmas: We are never alone.� — Taylor Caldwell

ARIES — The hard work and detail-oriented planning you’ve done lately are really starting to pay off, Aries. The key is to maintain your sensitivity and look to where you can be of service to others. Your nurturing side feels the need to express itself. Follow your heart today and be respectful of your emotions. The thing you need to be most conscious of is not overextending yourself. TAURUS — You may not want to wander far from your bedroom today. That’s fine. Take this opportunity to get things done around the house that make you feel like your energy is an important part of the atmosphere. Hang new pictures, read inspiring articles, and laugh at magazine cartoons that inspire your humorous side. Be soft and gentle with your words and actions. Just take it easy! GEMINI — Things are on the upswing for you today, Gemini. People are finally coming around to see things from your perspective. There’s no need to doubt yourself. Look in the mirror and know that the person you see is capable of accomplishing anything. Your powerful emotions are your allies. Don’t be afraid to let your heart speak up loudly and clearly, the way it wants to. CANCER — Take a step back from the line of fire today and examine your position. You’ve made some bold moves and now it’s time to pause and evaluate. Listen to others’ reactions. Take the observations and comments to heart. Other people may see things about your situation that you don’t. Don’t get boxed in by narrowminded thinking. Digest what you learn and expand your horizons. LEO — You may not feel like you’re in tune with your situation today, Leo. Try not to get too pushy with your opinions about how things should be done. Honor other people’s perspectives and approaches. It may be hard for others to commit to things the same way you do. Their methods may be different, but that doesn’t mean they are necessarily any better or worse. VIRGO — Try not to be too competitive today, Virgo. The more you try to drive your point across, the more it will meet stubborn opposition. This is a better day to observe the situation. Emotions are running high, and people aren’t necessarily acting rationally. It will do no good to try to reason +*#!2 +1$)"$with someone determined to

fight. Save your ammunition for something else. LIBRA — Sink into a soft, gentle rhythm and you flow with everything around you, Libra. Ease your mind about any worries. Your subconscious knows the way. The key today is sensitivity and intuition - your specialties. You don’t need to be concerned about a thing. Everything will work out fine. Don’t worry that you haven’t prepared enough. Give yourself a break and relax. SCORPIO — Now isn’t the time to prove to people that you’re the boss, Scorpio. They would surely become defensive. You’re much better off taking a sensitive, nurturing approach on a day like today. Focus your fire internally and use it to drive your own engine. Don’t run over anyone else in the process or try to run their engine for them. SAGITTARIUS — This is a favorable day for you to deal with intimate and sensitive issues, Sagittarius. You will be in comfortable situations that allow you to express what you believe. There’s no need to hold back, because people will have a greater understanding of what it is you feel. You combine deep emotions with mental clarity and you’re able to see through to the truth in other people’s words. CAPRICORN — There’s a very heavy atmosphere around you that might feel stifling, Capricorn. Situations are cropping up that urge you to think practically with regard to your emotions. You will find that things go much more smoothly if you slow down and think about a situation before you proceed. Make sure you consider all the choices and what their effects will be on other people. AQUARIUS — Just when you thought that the whole world was turning on you, Aquarius, things start to come back around. You will find that you don’t need to hide. In fact, the more you let your true spirit emerge, the more allies you will gain. Your secret ambition to rule your world is becoming a much more attainable goal than you might have thought at first. PISCES — The more you let your ego and fantasies swell today, Pisces, the more friction you will encounter. Others aren’t going to be fooled, nor are they going to want to deal with frivolity. You might consider letting someone else take the lead while you focus more on your internal energy. Don’t be surprised if you cry for no apparent reason. It’s important that the tears come out.

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 PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On February 10, 2021 at 01:00 PM, at the main entrance to the County Courthouse, 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on October 5, 2006 as Instrument No. 2006-0078275, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Santa Barbara County, California, executed by JOHN WILLIAM KIMBROUGH AND NELLIE KIMBROUGH, HUSBAND AND WIFE AS JOINT TENANTS, as Trustor(s), in favor of FINANCIAL FREEDOM SENIOR FUNDING CORPORATION, A SUBSIDIARY OF INDYMAC BANK, F.S.B. as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is�. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 30 SONOMA AVE, GOLETA, CA 93117 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 made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $846,068.15 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a 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 California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. 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. 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 In Source Logic at 702-659-7766 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000537-19-1. 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 NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER 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 702-6597766, or visit this internet website www.insourcelogic.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA08000537-19-1 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.
