Keeping the vision alive Solvang Chamber celebrates 100 years

Brady, defense lead Bucs to Super Bowl win By GERRY FALL NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

There are few words left that haven’t already been used to describe Tom Brady’s greatness. So why even try. Brady’s superb talent was on full display during Sunday’s Super Bowl LV. His three touchdown passes in the first half set the tone and helped him earn the Most Valuable Player honor as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, behind Brady and the defense’s efforts, whipped the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs, 31-9. At age 43, Brady, playing in his 10th Super Bowl game, earned his record seventh title by completing 21 of 29 passes for 201 yards and three touchdowns. “This team is world champions forever, you can’t take it away from us,” Brady said. Asked if he’d be back next season, he didn’t try to hide anything. “We’re coming back,” he said. As efficient and effective as Brady was, the Buccaneers’ defense was just as impressive, keeping the Chiefs out of the end zone. Tampa Bay’s constant pressure on Kansas City All-Pro quarterback Patrick Mahomes forced him to throw two interceptions. Mahomes was also sacked three times. When the two teams met in

Week 12 this season, Mahomes and wide receiver Tyreek Hill torched the Buccaneers defense. Hill finished with 269 receiving yards and three touchdowns in that game. But not on Sunday. When Brady signed with the Bucs 11 months ago after leading the New England Patriots to six Super Bowl titles, he went on the campaign trail for Tampa Bay to sign three players: tight end Rob Gronkowski; wide receiver Antonio Brown and running back Leonard Fournette. All three scored touchdowns on Sunday, with Gronkowski hauling in two touchdown passes from Brady. According to ESPN, when Brady first signed with Tampa Bay, he indicated he wasn’t keen on taking wide receiver Chris Godwin’s No. 12 — the same number Brady wore in New England. He asked Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht if he could have No. 7 instead. Licht inquired as to why, to which Brady responded: “Going after that seventh Super Bowl.” Brady, wearing No. 12 on Sunday, got that seventh title and his fifth Super Bowl MVP award. Tampa Bay became the first team ever to play in a Super Bowl in its own stadium. email: gfall@newspress.com

For 100 years, the Solvang Chamber of Commerce has served the city. The contributions of Chamber members over the years have helped to make the city what it is today.

By MADISON HIRNEISEN

The architecture across Solvang reflects the city’s Danish heritage. Members of the Chamber pioneered the construction of the architecture.

NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

The Solvang Chamber of Commerce is celebrating its centennial anniversary this month, reflecting on the contributions of past Chambers who gave the city its charm. A century ago, the members of the Solvang Businessmen’s Association met for the first time in Dania Hall, envisioning the future of the charming Danish town nestled in the Santa Ynez Valley. They pictured a city with unique infrastructure and opportunity, with its Danish roots at the core of commerce and daily life. As the association evolved over the years and became the Solvang Chamber of Commerce, they made their vision a reality. Chamber members oversaw the development of the city’s water district, lighting district and the construction of the traditional Danish architecture. They also pioneered cultural celebrations such as Solvang’s annual Danish Days event each September. “Everything in this city has started at the Chamber,” Tracy Lavery Beard, the Solvang Chamber’s executive director, told the News-Press. She added, “These are things these gentlemen (in the Chamber) envisioned — to make (Solvang) look like a small Danish community with the architecture … it came from their vision, and we are, I like to say, the gatekeepers of that vision.” In honor of the Chamber’s 100 years of service, proclamations were offered from the Solvang City Council, the California State Senate and the Embassy of Denmark in Washington, D.C. In honor of the Chamber’s centennial, U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, also flew an American flag flown over the Capitol. To commemorate this momentous milestone, the Chamber plans to bury a time capsule in December filled with items and gadgets from businesses that reflect modern commerce. Ms. Lavery Beard said the Chamber will leave a directive for future Chambers to dig up the capsule 25 years from now. The city’s Danish charm draws more than 1.5 million visitors a year, and though much has changed since the founding of the city in 1911, Solvang remains free of franchises and boasts more than 150 small businesses.

“Abandoned shopping carts constitute a nuisance, create potential hazards to the health and safety of the public, and interfere with pedestrian and vehicular traffic.”

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

On Tuesday, the Santa Barbara City Council will be recommended to adopt an ordinance preventing the unauthorized removal of shopping carts from commercial premises and facilitating the retrieval of abandoned carts. State law already makes it unlawful to remove a shopping cart from business premises or possess it after it’s been removed, so the ordinance wouldn’t add any additional penalties for individuals who steal carts. Instead, it will focus on cart recovery and management by requiring shopping cart owners to secure their carts during hours when their business is closed, identifying each cart with name, address and telephone number of the owner and a notification of violation if stolen. “Abandoned shopping carts constitute a nuisance, create potential hazards to the health and safety of the public, and interfere with pedestrian and vehicular traffic on streets, sidewalks and private property. The objective of this proposed ordinance is to provide a mechanism to place primary responsibility for managing cart

City staff report service with the owner of the cart and to set requirements for the prompt retrieval of carts that have been taken off business premises,” the staff report reads. The council will also be asked to initiate a plan to allow medical clinic uses, affordable housing and public uses for 3237 State St., along with changing the land use designation.

‘Solvang’s kept its small-town charm and quaintness’

Solvang’s Danish-inspired downtown boasts more than 150 small businesses. Though the city has evolved immensely since its founding, Solvang has remained free from franchises.

SOLVANG

Continued from Page A1

told the News-Press that the Chamber’s contributions to local businesses have been “invaluable” over the years. “The Chamber is helping all merchants come together and make Solvang what it is,” Mr. Hanberg said. Over the years, the town has preserved its quiet, charming presence in the Santa Ynez Valley, thanks to the dedication of the Chamber and businesses, Mr. Hanberg said. Despite the increasing number of activities in the Los Angeles area, Solvang remains a hopeful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, he added. “There’s been more attractions built throughout the years, but Solvang’s kept its small-town charm and quaintness,” Mr. Hanberg said. Keeping Solvang’s Danish roots present is of high importance to Bent Olsen, owner of Olsen’s Danish Village Bakery in Solvang. For more than 50 years, Mr. Olsen and his staff have served up delectable Danish breads and pastries from their bakery on Mission Drive. “The bakery is a big part of Danish culture,”

Mr. Olsen told the News-Press. “That’s very important. We need to keep the (Solvang culture) as Danish as possible. … As long as I’m around, I’m definitely going to make sure it’s in place.” Businesses in Solvang felt the effects of the pandemic throughout 2020, as lockdowns and travel restrictions decreased tourism drastically. Over the course of the pandemic, the Chamber “pivoted” to accommodate struggling businesses, Ms. Lavery Beard said. During the early months of the pandemic, the Solvang Chamber joined the Economic Development Collaborative, which offers practical training to small business owners in topics like finance and social media marketing. The Chamber also helped business owners in Solvang obtain portal grants from the state. While carrying the legacy of the past Chamber leaders is a “lot of weight on her shoulders,” Ms. Lavery Beard said joining the EDC is a help to the business community that will continue Solvang’s legacy. “We are looking forward to a prosperous 2021.” email: mhirneisen@newspres.com

Continued from Page A1 The U.S. Department of Defense is in the process of transferring the property at 3237 State St., which was previously an Army Reserve Center, to the Department of Indian Health Services. The plan proposes limited uses to facilitate the proposed medical clinic use and the potential for future affordable housing and/or public facility, public park and recreational use. Staff recommends a designation of medium density residential, which is 12 dwelling units per acre. If the council initiates the request for a general plan amendment and specific plan, the applicant will then submit a complete formal application for them and the Planning Commission would conduct a public hearing for recommendations. Also coming to the council’s desk is the proposed Coast Village Community Benefit District, which council will be asked to consider. The Coast Village Association is seeking Santa Barbara’s financial support in the amount of $30,000 to initiate its formation to implement robust marketing, promotional campaigns and other enhanced improvements. “Property owners within a district, once approved through a Proposition 218 public hearing process, would pay property assessments to fund special services above and beyond general municipal service levels,” the staff report reads. “The assessments may pay for services such as additional sidewalk sweeping; beautification programs; district branding and marketing and promotions; parking mitigation programs; district administration; and possibly programs to mitigate the homeless issues in the area.” According to the staff report, a number of property owners have indicated support to form the district and pay the property assessments. In other business, the council will be asked to approve a Community Wildfire Protection Plan, which outlines a series of policies and action items to aid in implementation. Some of the CWPP’s key proposals include: acknowledging climate change as a significant contributing factor in the increase in wildland fires; renaming “high fire hazard areas” to “high fire hazard severity zone” and “very high fire hazard severity zone” to be consistent with CAL FIRE; expanding the zones beyond their current borders based on modeling; increasing vegetation management; discussing potential impacts on insurance rates; and adding population and housing as a studied area, among others. “The completed documents represent the culmination of three years of effort by staff, consultants and the community to create a plan to help protect lives, property and natural resources from the threat of wildfire,” the staff report reads.

Some of the CWPP’s key proposals include: acknowledging climate change as a significant contributing factor in the increase in wildland fires; renaming “high fire hazard areas” to “high fire hazard severity zone” and “very high fire hazard severity zone”; expanding the zones beyond their current borders; increasing vegetation management; and adding population and housing as a studied area. “The CWPP process is intended to provide the community a forum for identifying values at risk from wildfire, which may include people, property, natural resources, cultural values, economic interests and infrastructure. The identification of these values at risk by the community strongly influences the potential wildfire hazard mitigation projects identified in the CWPP.” In the consent calendar, council members will be recommended to authorize applying for a state grant of $8,500,000 for the Ortega Park Revitalization Project. Environmental review of the project is underway and Planning Commission consideration of the project is anticipated in spring of 2021. The city council will recognize the retirement of Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, and congratulate her for her public service as well. The meeting will take place on Tuesday at 2 p.m, and can be viewed in English and Spanish on City TV Channel 18 or streamed live at www.santabarbaraca. gov/cap. In addition to the regular meeting on Tuesday, the Santa Barbara City Council will also hold a special council meeting on Thursday, Feb. 11 at 1 p.m., where council members will hear a presentation from staff related to the development of the Fiscal Year 2022 financial plan. Staff will also present an overview of major economic indicators reviewed and considered, which are particularly informative for this budget cycle as it relates to the economic impacts due to COVID. The presentation will include a summary of recent revenue trends, projected costs and a long-term forecast of the city’s finances.

Super Bowl on State Street A sunny Super Bowl Sunday brought football fans to State Street in downtown Santa Barbara, filling up sports bar parklets. Diners and pedestrians kept their eyes on the screens as the Kansas City Chiefs faced the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A few fans donned Chiefs jerseys, but most diners dressed neutrally. It was a lively scene during the first half as the excitement of the game caught fans attention. There were plenty of customers for State Street businesses, but it was not packed.

McINTYRE, Dean R.

Dean passed away January 20, 2021, age 90 from complications of Covid. He was born in Tacoma, WA to Bill and Tency McIntyre and resided in Seattle in his formative years. While there he had a paper route at age 9 and learned how to hunt with his Dad. Dean shot his first deer at age 11. When he reached his teen years the family moved to a small farming town on the slopes of Mt. Ranier. While there Dean had horses and a dog and soon became one of the neighbor kids. He enjoyed the outdoors; fishing in the nearby streams and more hunting with his Dad. He was an all around athlete, starring on the football, basketball and baseball teams. During the war years he worked for the forestry department on fire prevention and reforestation. After a year at WSC he decided more education was not for him. He and his parents moved to Santa Barbara in 1950 and opened the “Bill and Dean Mobile” station in Montecito. After three years, the highway was becoming Freeway 101, so they gave up that station and moved to a larger station on the corner of State and Sola where they remained until 1963. Dean had many hobbies, not always safe ones. He drove stock cars among other hobbies. In 1953 he married his beautiful Louise and in 1955 welcomed their daughter Darcy. During a career in Real Estate Dean met many people who became friends as well as customers. His quick wit and big smile was a plus in that business. He made friends easily and had many hunting trips as well as hiking. At age 40 he and Darcy, age 15, climbed Mt. Whitney with several friends. During the ‘80s he and Louise spent 2 weeks every winter snowmobiling in Wyoming. He could be found enjoying anything outdoors, including his own yard work. In his lifetime he climbed and hunted all the hills around Santa Barbara. Driving trips to Alaska held happy memories for him also. For more than 25 years Dean played Senior Softball and was on several championship teams who went to the Senior Softball World Series. Many long lasting relationships with his teammates kept him going and joking until his heath intervened. Dean and Louise enjoyed life to the fullest. Sadly they had to say goodbye to their daughter at a young age in 2000. That was an experience which changed both of them. Dean was predeceased by his parents, daughter Darcy Stepka(Allen) and loving wife, Louise. He is survived by son-in-law Allen (Judy), loving granddaughter Rachel Lawton (Nathan) and two wonderful great-grandchildren, Kaiden and Alexandria. He is also survived by Norinne, his companion of 12 years and friend from Jr. High days. He will be greatly missed by so many. “Best of all he loved the fall. The leaves yellow on the cottonwood. Leaves floating on the trout streams and above the hills. The high,blue windless skies. Now he will be part of them forever” Unknown

“Win Your Love” is the title of this large bowl of standard Phalaenopsis Orchids as well as the Bramble and Darling.

Westerlay Orchids sponsors art challenge By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

To celebrate Valentine’s Day this Sunday, Westerlay Orchids is inviting people to an art challenge that showcases their artistic style and benefits a local charity or recipient of their choice. “Anyone who is a California resident can create their version of the three arrangements of Westerlay Orchids that are shown with this article,” said Jeff Karpman, director of sales and marketing at the company on Via Real in Carpinteria. The arrangements, which are created with Phalaenopsis Orchids, are named “Wind in My Sails,” “Win Your Love” and “Brambling Love.” “Entries can be any type of artistic medium — a drawing, a painting, black-and-white or in color. There is no size requirement,” said Mr. Karpman. Photos of the work must be sent to retail@westerlayorchids.com by midnight on Sunday. “Three winners will each receive two boxes of orchids — one to keep and one to donate to a local charity or recipient of their choice. It could be a hospital, a first responder, a family member in isolation — something to show gratitude or lift their spirits,” said Mr. Karpman. He will be one of the judges, along with Grace Hanna, e-commerce specialist at Westerlay, and Leigh-Anne Anderson, publicist for the company. “The artwork will be featured on the Westerlay Orchids Instagram, and it will also be displayed in the retail showroom at 3504 Via Real in Carpinteria,

.H. sent me a silver christening mug from London, and she told me that her husband’s family’s grand patriarch was also a J.H. Because this christening mug was engraved with “JH,” the family purchased it and brought it back to America many years ago. British silver markings are difficult to understand because there are so many, and I leave it up to the statisticians among you to figure out how many ways four marks can be attributed. Generally, the marks can be read in this order: First, one mark, generally a “lion passant” (if it is London silver, the primary center for silver), “guardant,” certifying silver quality. Second, you will see the maker’s mark, identifying the silversmith, who is presenting the piece to the assay offices — and here I need to stop. What are the assay offices in Britain? There was, from the 16th century on, an office which certified the amount of silver in a piece. This was an important development in the history of silver, because without this ancient “guild” of the silversmiths and the office that oversaw them, we would have no sterling silver. Every piece was judged on a mathematically relative scale because silver is a combination of metals — and not all silver is sterling.. Thus the assay office oversaw monitoring. The laws in England specified that pieces brought to the market should be “assayed.” The next making is a date letter, in a cycle of 20 letters of the alphabet in different shapes, used to identify a year in which the piece was presented to the assay office. No other country were the regulations as strict for silver as in Britain, which set the standard for silver quality. In America, we had no such grouping of makings, so we had no way of identifying the place, the silver maker, the date and the quality.

The fourth mark on British silver is a mark called an identity mark, which is placed there by the assay office certifying the payment of duty which was required for centuries upon silver objects, and one of the reasons that silver objects had an added value attached to them: people who were purchasers knew what they were getting, and what quality of silver (how much silver was in the piece). J.H., your husband’s family might have purchased this in the famous silver vaults in London, where dealers could have read this hallmark in a minute. For me to decipher it, took a few hours. The piece is not actually sterling but Sheffield Plate, which is a wonderful and resonant combination of silver and copper. This technique, which was a poor man’s version of sterling, was discovered at the repair shop of a Thomas Boulsover in the 18th century, and was a combination of silver and copper. The thinnest sheets of silver could be easily fused with the larger sheet of copper between two sheets of silver, and of course, this was not sterling. And these pieces have their own hallmarking systemone of which I found that matches yours. You might think that Sheffield Silver is less valuable than sterling, but that is not the case. Many people love the glow of the orange copper showing through, or as collectors say, “peeking through” the silver, and repeated polishing brings this out. And it

UCSB hosts guests for ‘Race to Justice’ SANTA BARBARA — UCSB Art and Lectures will feature prominent speakers this month as part of the “Race to Justice” series. At 5 p.m. Feb. 11, W. Kamau Bell, stand up comedian and host of CNN’s “United Shades of America,” will be part of a virtual discussion entitled “Ending Racism in About an Hour.” Mr. Bell has hosted three critically-acclaimed podcasts, and his latest stand-up routine entitled “Private School Negro” is streaming on Netflix.

tarnished differently, and that’s what I see on the feet of your little mug. The date mark on yours in an “O” in a distinctive “antique” style, and therefore, I put the date at its creation at 1869. That makes sense as the initials of the baby who is being gifted this mug was born Oct. 9, 1878. Because Sheffield pieces of this date have four marks just like hallmarked English Sterling, many people think their Sheffield pieces are Sterling, but this is not the case. However, later Sheffield pieces, post 1890, do not have the four hallmarks and are simply stamped “Sheffield,” with a “sovereign” head, which signifies that the assay office has ascertained the silver content in the piece. This mug is interesting in its design; the ball feet are set off by the acorn leaves, and this is quite appropriate in a christening mug. “The acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree” is the spirit of that design. Because of the pristine condition of the mug, I would put the value at $300. Dr. Elizabeth Stewart’s “Ask the Gold Digger” column appears Mondays in the News-Press Life section. Written after her father’s COVID-19 diagnosis, Dr. Stewart’s book “My Darlin’ Quarantine: Intimate Connections Created in Chaos” is a humorous collection of five “what-if” short stories that end in personal triumphs over presentday constrictions. It’s available at Chaucer’s in Santa Barbara.

On Feb. 23, former astronaut Mae Jemison will be discussing her experiences in a discussion titled “Overcoming Obstacles, Breaking Barriers and Reaching for the Stars.” In 1992, Ms. Jemison boarded the space shuttle Endeavor, breaking barriers as the first woman of color in space. She now leads a program called the 100 Year Starship, a Pentagon-funded initiative that explores the future of space travel. Tickets for each event are $10, and admission is free for UCSB students. To purchase tickets, visit artsandlectures.ucsb.edu/AllEvents. — Madison Hirneisen

Gemini Being a Gemini means that you like to keep busy. As Mercury joins the sun in your philosophy sector on Monday, you’ll want more mental stimulation than normal. Learn something new! Use the new moon in this same zone to bring around fresh opportunities. Cancer The sun is joining Mercury in your intimacy zone, Cancer. Things are getting hot this week! Over the weekend, Mars and Neptune connect—bringing around new opportunities to understand yourself and the ones you love. Leo Mercury and the sun are making you really appreciative for your friends. Tell them how much they mean to you, Leo. As the new moon hits your romance zone, you may find that a new love is blooming. Virgo Your week may be tense at first—when conflicting opinions create tense situations. The new moon is bringing more attention to your routines though, which would comfort your hardworking Virgovibe. Libra The new moon moves through your pleasure zone this week,

Libra. It’s the best time to try something new in the bedroom or spice up your love life with something fun. Over the weekend, the Jupiter/Mercury transit will bring you some extra confidence to get wild. Scorpio Hey Scorpio, Mercury and Mars are making it a little difficult to get creative. The new moon in your “home� sector provides the opportunity to start a family—if that’s where you’re at with your loved one. Sagittarius As the sun and Mercury make a connection in your communication zone, Sagittarius, it’s the best day for new ideas. Time to organize and plan so that you can get exactly what you’ve been dreaming of. The new moon is also a great time to brainstorm ideas. Capricorn Your mind can be your ally, or your enemy, Capricorn. Don’t let it take over and hinder your self-confidence. On Thursday, the new moon provides an opportunity to take back some of that personal empowerment— seeing as this moon is blooming in your self-worth zone. Aquarius It’s a big week for you! With almost all the planets in your sign, you’ll feel more powerful and confident than ever before. Use this energy to charge forward with gusto. Sunday, Valentine’s Day, is bound to be lucky for you—in the bedroom and out of it.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Pisces You may feel emotional this week, Pisces. Communication is bound to be a bit messed up this week, thanks to Mercury’s movements (and the fact that it’s still in retrograde). Just be slow and allow the opportunities from the new moon on Thursday to come to you.

Aries You like to act—and act fast, Aries. When Mercury (in retrograde) squares Mars, you may act a little too fast for your own good. Be careful about what you say and the advice you take on Wednesday.

By FRANK STEWART Tribune Content Agency

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.

The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county wherein the real property is located and more than three (3) months have elapsed since such recordation. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale. 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 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. If the sale occurs after 1/1/2021, the sale may not be final until either 15 or 45 days after the sale date - see Notice to Tenant. Further, no TDUS can be issued until the sale is final. Your bid is subject to being over bid by the Tenant or “eligible bidder� after the sale and if your bid is over bid, your only remedy is to the refund of your actual bid amount without interest or payment of any other costs, expenses or funds of any kind or nature incurred by the initial successor bidder. 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 (916) 939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Website www.nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, 20-0127. 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 Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: 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 (916) 939-0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 20-0127 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.

SB Unified to discuss COVID-19, safety and summer school By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Administrators at the Santa Barbara Unified School District will meet with its school board in open session at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday via Zoom. The board will review the annual school safety plans, which outline protocols to protect students and respond in times of emergency. The district-wide COVID-19 safety plan is applied to all schools. The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department approved the COVID-19 safety plan Friday. The document is available on the district’s homepage, sbunified.org. The agenda allots an hour to the COVID-19 update. Currently, the district is waiting for the county’s case rate to drop to 25 daily cases per 100k population for at least five consecutive days. Then, elementary schools can open. Junior high and high schools can only open when the county reaches a case rate under seven for at least five consecutive days. This week, SB Unified families will confirm their selections of in-person or distance learning, though a date is not yet set to reopen campuses. Administrators will also look at the classified staff hiring process. In the fall, the number hired was a prominent concern when the board did not seek to reopen campuses. The district will also update the board on its summer learning programs which will be held June 14 through July 23. Tuesday’s meeting starts the Local Control and Accountability Plan, a three-year guide that sets goals to help high-needs students. Community input is solicited in a parent advisory committee, school site and district advisory committees, a community survey and a public hearing. The 2021-2024 Local Control and Accountability Plan is set to be approved in June with planning each month. The district seeks the board’s permission to replace 27 maintenance and operation vehicles. The district currently

Free guided hike of Los Flores Ranch Park The City of Santa Maria Recreation and Parks Department offers a free, docent-led nature hike of Los Flores Ranch Park at 9 am. Saturday. Community members will meet at the visitor center at 6271 Dominion Rd. before embarking on the 90-minute hike. The hike utilizes familyfriendly and moderate trails, and participants should wear comfortable walking shoes and bring binoculars.

Currently, the district is waiting for the county’s case rate to drop to 25 daily cases per 100k population for at least five consecutive days. Then, elementary schools can open. has 84 vehicles with an average age of 12.4 years. It argues that older vehicles without technology such as antilock brakes, electronic stability control and backup cameras are a hazard to staff and students. Its compact pickup trucks are an average of 20 years old and its three-quarter ton trucks are, on average, 19 years old. The district proposes to replace three small gas pickup trucks with hybrid sedans and replace 24 old heavy-duty trucks with newer models. The district equates the change with a 63% reduction in CO2 emissions. The plan extends to phase two in spring 2022 and phase three in spring 2023, but Tuesday’s vote is only for phase one. In phase two, the district wants to replace 14 gas vehicles with hybrid sedans and replace 16 medium to heavy-duty vehicles with a newer model or a hybrid, if available. Phase three would replace six minivans and five sedans with hybrid models and upgrade 14 medium to heavy-duty vehicles. Another item on the action agenda is a contract extension for a school resource deputy from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s office. The deputy has served at San Marcos High School since August 2018. The extension, at a cost of $118,272, would extend services through June 30, 2021. To attend the Zoom meeting, go to sbunified.zoom. us/j/94830226412. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

The guide will teach participants about Los Flores Ranch, its oak trees, plant life and the species that call the ranch home. The group must adhere to safety measures, including face coverings, minimum of six-feet distance, hand sanitizer and bringing one’s own water. Registration is required, and space is limited.
