A new market dedicated to the city’s youngest makers debuted Sunday at the Community Arts Workshop in Santa Barbara. The entrepreneurs varied in age and craft, some as young as early elementary age up to high school seniors. A myriad of talents were on display, from jewelry makers to artists and even a chef. Bella Rubio sells honey she gathers from three hives. A nearly nonstop line flowed out from her booth Sunday. “Mom, I’m selling out,” she squealed, legs kicking under the tablecloth. Her mom Cecilia Rubio helped set up the market, but Youth Makers Market is a family effort. It began when Aaliyah Rubio, Bella’s older sister, designed and sold her own bracelets through Instagram. Her entrepreneurial spirit rubbed off, and Bella, who already harvested honey, wanted to turn her hobby into a business. Mrs. Rubio didn’t know the best way for her 11-year-old to sell honey.

Sunday’s Emmys proved to be a royal flush for “The Crown.” The popular Netflix series about Queen Elizabeth II’s long reign won for best dramatic series. It also received Emmys in drama for Olivia Colman (lead actress) and Josh O’Connor (lead actor) for playing the queen and Prince Charles. And Emmys went to two more “Crown” cast members: Gillian Anderson (supporting actress) for her portrayal of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Tobias Menzies (supporting actor), who played Prince Philip. Other top Emmys went to “Ted Lasso,” Apple TV+’s sports comedy-drama series, for best comedy, and “The Queen’s Gambit,” a Netflix series about an orphan struggling with addiction as she pursues her chess victories, for best limited series. The Emmys aired on CBS and Paramount+ and took place with its first in-person audience since 2019 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Cedric the Entertainer hosted the 73rd annual awards, which went about 10 minutes over its three-hour scheduled block on live TV. Normally, the Emmys have an in-person audience of thousands in rows of seats, but because of COVID-19, Sunday’s awards show had a much smaller audience seated at tables. Last year, the show was virtual. In addition to winning for best comedy, “Ted Lasso” picked up Emmys in comedy for Jason Sudeikis, lead actor; Brett Goldstein, supporting actor, and Hannah Waddingham, supporting actress. Jean Smart won the Emmy for best actress for “Hacks.” “Mare of Easttown,” an HBO Max murder mystery, picked up Emmys in the limited series category. Kate Winslet won the award for lead actress. Supporting actor and supporting actress awards went to Evan Peters and Julianne Nicholson. But the Emmy for lead actor in a limited series was awarded to Ewan McGregor of “Halston,” Netflix’s series about a fashion empire. In other categories, the Emmy for best reality competition series went to “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” which streams on Paramount+. HBO’s “Last Week with John Oliver” won for variety talk series. ‘ The Emmy for best TV movie went to Netflix’s “Dolly Parton’s Christmas on The Square.”

Makers Market. She started her business, Mariposa Cosmetics, in August of 2020 by herself. She used Christmas and birthday money she had saved to build up her stock and make her own lip gloss. “I have a passion for fashion and beauty, stuff like that. And I really wanted to see what else I can do with that rather than just wear it myself. And I thought, why not try and create a little business and see where that goes,” she said. Building her business was a “creative and healthy” use of her free time during the pandemic, she said. “When lockdown started, I kind of felt like I was in a period that was just never ending, just kind of stuck doing the same thing over and over,” she said.

Her friends supported her as she launched her pandemicgrown business, and she hopes the market is another successful space. Her mom, Candice Banales described Emma as a “good example” for other young adults coping with the pandemic. Most of the parents at Youth Makers Market stepped back and watched their children process the sales. “It makes me feel great as a mother to see them be so successful. I’m sure every parent here feels the same,” Mrs. Rubio said. For more information on Youth Makers Market, contact (805) 8963856 or info@youthmakersmarket. org. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

The parties signed a memorandum of understanding in April 2020 and began working on the project agreement, which is up for approval Tuesday. Council may also approve proposed ordinances regarding the sale of alcohol for off-site consumption. The types of businesses impacted are liquor stores, grocery stores and

Existing businesses will automatically be approved under their current licenses, but new businesses will have to study their location. Licenses would only be approved in areas with capacity for additional off-site licenses and crime must be low to average. The business may not be 500 feet away from a residential lot, a private elementary or high school, health care facility, social services facility, substance abuse treatment center, religious facility, park or playground.

So, they decided to create their own market. They plan to hold the market once per month and ensure the makers have enough time to create their product between dates. Braydon Farias heard about the opportunity from Aaliyah. He has been cooking for four years and has spent the past couple months mastering a pozole recipe. Sunday was his first time selling, and he was busy ladling hearty scoops all afternoon. It’s the first time he’d tried anything like this but he has always wanted to explore the possibility of being a chef and owning a business. He can see himself creating tasty dishes in a restaurant — or managing the restaurant — as a future career. And he enjoys interacting with customers. It entertains him to meet new people, he said. He said his parents were “very supportive” of the business. Selling pozole was his mom’s idea, and he has been thrilled with the process. His booth is well-equipped with a propane-fueled warmer to keep the soup hot throughout the afternoon. And on his table is a chef’s hat embroidered with his name. Padma Ventura, one of the youngest vendors, served up popsicles from her booth “Padma’s Pops.” She wore a shirt that said “minding my Latina-owned business” with popsicles on it. She sells at the Mujeres Makers Market, a new market featuring women of color. Padma is the youngest vendor at Mujeres Makers Market, which accepted her because of her mission: to raise money for a fisherman in Mexico who lost his arm.

Penalty kick exchange leads to Westmont loss By JACOB NORLING WESTMONT COLLEGE WRITER

SAN DIEGO — The Warriors had a handful of opportunities, but never found the back of the net as Point Loma (2-2-1) handed Westmont (2-3) a 1-0 loss on Saturday. The difference in the match proved to be a missed penalty kick for the Warriors in the second half. Adding insult to injury, minutes later Point Loma converted a penalty kick of their own for the lone goal of the day. “I thought today was still a step forward for our team,” said Westmont head coach Dave Wolf. “It’s hard to feel that way when you don’t get a result, but that’s a good team we played against. I told the team that today will still be beneficial to us in the grand scheme of things.” In the eighth minute, Matthew Morgan sent in the first corner of the day and served a ball to the back of the six-yard box that an oncoming Memo Mendoza got a head on. Unfortunately for Mendoza, the ball shot a few inches above the upper-left post and left the Warriors without their first score of the match. In the 20th minute, Brady Highfill made the most impressive save of his collegiate career yet when Pascal Rodriguez intercepted a ball at the top of the Westmont 18. Rodriguez immediately chipped a shot toward the net that Highfill had begun to creep away from. Now backpedaling, Highfill got a yard in front of his goal line before leaping and punching the ball up and over the high post. In the 32nd minute, Point Loma was awarded a free kick 25 yards out, and Dalton Kinney let one fire on a short hop towards Highfill. With the rest of the Sea Lions crashing in on him, Highfill swallowed the shot cleanly without allowing a ricochet, keeping

Point Loma off the board. Highfill had three saves in total on the day. “Brady had himself a good performance,” noted Wolf. “It’s been good to see our young goalkeepers have success in games against legitimate opponents. In these games, you find out what you can expect from them in the future. I think Brady today, and Abraham as well, have answered that question.” After the first 45 minutes, the clubs remained knotted at zero. During the first half, Westmont recorded just one shot on goal. In the first 10 minutes of the second half, Westmont had their best look at taking the lead. Connor Lynch put the first shot on frame four minutes into the period, but keeper Ryan Pierce slid to his left and got hands on the ball to trap it and keep Westmont off the board. Then, in the 51st minute, Braeden Pryor had a breakaway that looked to be a one-on-one shot at the keeper. As Pryor entered the 18, he was tackled to the ground, and the Warriors were awarded a penalty kick. However, on the ensuing penalty kick, Pryor shot two yards wide of the left post, and the game remained tied at zero. Then in the 68th minute, disaster struck when a handball in the Westmont box allowed the Sea Lions to have a penalty kick of their own. Jona Oesterling took the shot for the Lions and buried it into the upper-left portion of the net to give the Lions the 1-0 lead. “To Braeden’s credit, he did great in earning the penalty kick,” noted Wolf, “and overall he had a really good performance. I don’t want that to be lost in the midst of one magnified moment.” Westmont was held quiet for the next 20 minutes, and their final opportunity came on a

set piece 40 yards out in the 89th minute. The ball was lofted towards the six-yard box and hung around for three or so touches, but was eventually cleared out of harm’s way by the Sea Lions. Westmont was once again reminded how tough it can be to play from behind for an extended amount of time, as the Sea Lions ultimately handed the Warriors a 1-0 loss. “At the end of the day,” began Wolf, “it came down to two penalties. One was made, one was missed, and sometimes that’s just how the game unfolds. “It’s no secret that in the three games we’ve lost we conceded first, and in the two games we won, we scored first. It’s a different dynamic playing from behind, and we weren’t able to give ourselves the chance to play out in front.” Westmont had just six shots in total, putting only two on frame. “I thought we played quite well in the second, especially early,” said Wolf. “I think we just lacked a ball-striking mentality today. We got in some good places, and nobody seemed to want to put their foot through the ball today. We over-passed at times in and around the box when we needed somebody to step up and smash a ball. The club returns to action on Sept. 30, when the team opens GSAC play against San Diego Christian at home. Tickets are available on the Westmont Athletics website. “There were some encouraging things today,” assured Wolf, “and we now have a block of time to get ready heading into GSAC play.”

volleyball season, Minch led the way for the Warriors in practically every offensive category. As of last Tuesday, the sophomore led the club in kills (155), kills per set (2.92), and led the club with 32 service aces, 21 more than the next closest player. “I affectionately call her ‘the quiet assassin’,” said Westmont head coach Ruth

Santa Barbara Unified announces vaccination clinics By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

The Santa Barbara Unified School District is presenting COVID-19 vaccination clinics during the rest of this month and in October. The clinics are being conducted at schools as part of a joint effort with the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department and Cottage Health.

Clinics are scheduled for 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday at Dos Pueblos High School, 4 to 7 p.m. Sept. 27 at La Cumbre Junior High School, 6:30 to 10 a.m. Sept. 28 at Dos Pueblos, 4 to 7 p.m. Oct. 4 at Goleta Valley Junior High School, 4 to 7 p.m. Oct. 15 at Santa Barbara Junior High School and 6:30 to 10 a.m. Oct. 11 at Santa Barbara High School. Santa Barbara Unified, meanwhile, is requesting that

TRAFFIC, CRIME AND FIRE BLOTTER Motorcycle, sedan collide in Santa Ynez Valley

Deputies raise awareness for railroad safety

SANTA YNEZ — A motorcyclist and his passenger suffered major injuries in a collision Sunday at around 4:30 p.m. The motorcycle collided with a sedan on State Route 246 west of State Route 154. Both were transported by ground before being flown via helicopter to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital for treatment. The driver of the sedan did not report injuries.

GOLETA — Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s deputies in Goleta are participating in “Operation Clear Track” this week. The initiative is the largest of its kind, highlighting the importance of staying safe near railroad tracks. Approximately 2,000 serious injuries and deaths are reported each year in the U.S. around railroad tracks and trains. This sobering statistic motivated Amtrak Police and Operation Lifesaver Inc. to

coordinate Operation Clear Track, held during Rail Safety Week. For the operation, law enforcement go to high-incident railroad crossings and share safety tips and enforce the law. This year, deputies in Goleta will be located near the crossing on Kellogg Avenue and Depot Road. “Operation Clear Track is an important annual initiative to help save lives and keep our communities safe,” Amtrak Chief of Police D. Samuel Dotson said in a news release. To learn more, go to oli.org. — Annelise Hanshaw

Welcome to BUNS Volunteer Lori Crestfield enjoys caring for rabbits at Goleta shelter

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

There goes one! A rabbit magically appears out of thin air and disappears just as quickly, running and hopping down aisles between hutches. There goes another one! “Watch your step. There’s a bunny coming up behind you,” said a volunteer as a bunny hops past a visitor. Welcome to Bunnies Urgently Needing Shelter. Also known as BUNS. The shelter has been here for more than 30 years on the Santa Barbara County Animal Services campus on Overpass Road in Goleta. This is where almost 80 rabbits and 16 guinea pigs live together. Some of the rabbits, in fact, share their large, ground-level, fenced areas with guinea pigs. They’re the rabbits who like guinea pigs. “There are some bunnies who don’t like guinea pigs,” volunteer and BUNS board member Lori Crestfield told the News-Press Saturday. “Bunnies are very opinionated about what they like or don’t like. “We have bunnies who can’t be put in with guinea pigs,” she said. “Others are fine. They don’t care; they’re like, ‘whatever.’” As the News-Press watched, one guinea pig in one area put its hands on a soft-wire fence and greeted the guinea pig next door, who likewise had its hands on the fence. Howdy, neighbor! Ms. Crestfield was giving the News-Press a tour on the day when free adoptions were being provided by Santa Barbara County Animal Services and its next-door neighbor on Overpass Road, Santa Barbara Humane. On Saturday morning, people were taking cats and big dogs home. No sweat. But while free adoptions would be honored for anyone picking a bunny on Saturday, rabbits couldn’t leave immediately. It takes time to prepare for their homecoming. “We don’t just hand out bunnies. They’re not like dogs and cats,” Ms. Crestfield explained as one bunny ran past her and other rabbits slept in their large, fenced areas. “People don’t normally know how to take care of them or how to feed them. They don’t normally have set-ups for them at home. “If someone finds a bunny they like, we can help them get materials, cages and food that they need,” Ms. Crestfield said. “Bunnies have to have hay. They have to have the right pet set-up. They have to have a play area. “We counsel people more with bunnies,” she said. “They’re not your usual pets.” Ms. Crestfield said the rabbits come to the shelter for a variety of reasons. “They come to us from being strays, from unfriendly environments for bunnies or abusive situations,” she said, walking down an aisle between the hutches and open-air, fenced areas where some rabbits were sleeping. “People turn them in because they’re moving, or they don’t want them anymore. Or they’re not getting along with their dogs or their cats or their kids. “We also get momma bunnies who have babies, so we have all those babies,” Ms. Crestfield said. “If a pregnant bunny comes in here, we send them home with a foster family until the babies are born,” she said. She looked down at some of the rabbits and said some of them are babies from rabbits who came to the shelter. Please see BUNS on B4

The art of deciphering an artist’s signature

COURTESY PHOTOS

Columnist Elizabeth Stewart explains in today’s column how she deciphered the name of the artist who signed this work. Dr. Stewart determined the first name was Auriel, and her research led her to the last name.

’d like to show you how I decipher a difficult signature on a work of art. Here I use a work I found at a local thrift store as illustration. I found this painting simply signed “A(space)riel,” with a date of 1968. I eventually found this artist as a midcentury modern painter located in New Zealand. First, I drew, as accurately as I could, a copy of the signature in the artist’s handwriting style. I paid close attention to the spacing of the letters. I saw that this artist’s hand was rounded, no corners, and that each letter was given the allotted space. The “i” had a short space; the capital “A” a big space. Therefore, the large gap between the “A” and the “r” had to have contained a larger rounded letter. I tried a rounded “U,” and it seemed to be logical, as Auriel is indeed a name, albeit a first one. Next I looked at the date next to the name. The date matches the style of the period. In 1968, this work would have been very forward leaning. It is modern for its time and indicates that this artist may have painted other geometric style works in the mid-1960s. An artist who can paint a good abstracted still life probably learned to paint very abstract geometrical non-realistic compositions too, in a flat picture plane. Now I knew a name, a date, a style. Next I used three of my favorite databases, each with their own assets: ArtPrice, AskArt and ArtNet. Some of these will direct you only if you have an accurate spelling of an artist’s name but others will suggest alternative names. One of them has a search box for just first names. Trying that, I found about 10 artists with the first name Auriel, and knowing the style of the work and date of the work, I could narrow it down to those (about 20) living in 1968 and painting in a modernist style. Some of these sites have a thumbnail example of each work, which pops up when I click my mouse over the names, so I looked for very abstracted work in simple bold colors. Sure enough, I found an Auriel Shearer who painted in that style, from New Zealand of all places. Now I looked for the dates this artist lived (find obit pages to do so). I learned that if Auriel Shearer painted this work, she was 43 at the time, having been born in 1925 and died in 2016. My judgment of this painting is that this is mature work by a career

artist. (Check!) This artist’s files are housed in a small museum in Auckland, New Zealand. The files contain a record of a career in art. She worked at her craft and usually that results in sales. I surmise, however, that because of the art market in New Zealand in the mid 1960s that she may not have been collected broadly. So I do not search the major auction houses for evidence of sales because major auction houses only carry works they think can sell for more than $1,000. So I did a general Google search, noting that various “Everything but the House” sites have sold works by this artist, and I found two works selling in the forward-thinking college town of Stamford, Conn. I found the value of the work at $400-600. A signature on a work in art history is recent – dating to the 15th century during the Renaissance, when individual talents were recognized above and beyond who commissioned the work or where it was. Think of a work for a church in previous eras, not signed. In fact, a pre-Renaissance artist would never have thought of signing art for a church. Not only were artists beginning to sign work in the 15th century, but collectors were often proud that they could afford to buy an “expensive” artist’s work and wanted bragging rights. Signatures are not just proof of workmanship, but also can mark, by changes, a distinctive new era in the artist’s career or genre, as a Picasso signature does. Even the placement of a signature can add to a composition. Typically an unsigned canvas means that the work was not considered finished, but that is not always the case. In the 1950-1980s those who taught abstract painting often said a signature may deface a clean work. Some artists simply choose not to sign. But deciphering a signature, if selling a work, can mean the difference of thousands of dollars. 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 present-day constrictions. It’s available at Chaucer’s in Santa Barbara.

Historical Museum honors artist Edward Borein By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

The Santa Barbara Historical Museum is honoring artist Edward Borein and his many artist friends with an exhibit running Wednesday through Jan. 22. In conjunction with the exhibit, the museum is unveiling a new book, “Edward Borein: Etched by the West.” The author, B. Byron Price, will speak and sign books during an Oct. 20 event at the museum, 136 E. De la Guerra St. The hardback book is $65 and available for pre-sale at www. sbhistorical.org/borein. A special edition limited to 100 copies is available for pre-sale, at $300. The book signing is one of

several events planned at the Santa Barbara museum. Others will feature Michael Grauer from the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma and Jeremy Tessmer from Santa Barbara’s Sullivan Goss: An American Gallery. You can buy a catalog of the exhibit at the historical museum’s gift shop or online at www. sbhistorical.org/store. Guest curator of the new exhibit is Marlene R. Miller, a recognized authority on Mr. Borein’s work. She curated the museum’s permanent Edward Borein Gallery in 2017. “Borein, acclaimed for his accurate depictions of the American West, is one of Santa Barbara’s most important artists,” Ms. Miller wrote in the

exhibit catalog’s introduction. “By settling here in 1921, he only added to the city’s reputation as a significant art colony, a reputation which had been developing since the 1870s.” Mr. Borein counted many talented artists as friends and colleagues. More than 20 of them are represented in this exhibit, which is presented in three galleries. Museum admission is free. Hours are noon to 5 p.m. Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and noon to 7 p.m. Thursdays. For more information, go to www.sbhistorical.org. email: dmason@newspress.com

Feeling a little feisty, Aries? Mars, your ruling planet, charges into Libra and your sector of partnership this Tuesday. Watch out for irritation and strife in oneon-one interactions starting this week and for the next six or so.

Libra

Taurus It’s time to clean house— literally. Mars rolls into Libra and your area of habits on Tuesday. Are you happy with your present schedule? Keeping up with your chores or the gym? If not, no worries! These next few weeks of Libra Mars are giving you the opportunity to overhaul your lifestyle completely.

Gemini Let the games begin, Gemini. On Tuesday, Mars slides into Libra and your zone of fun and creativity. If you’ve been experiencing any kind of creative block, Mars is here to plow through it! Starting this week until the planet goes into Scorpio in a month-and-a-half, you’re being guided to center your joy.

Cancer This week’s focus is right in your neck of the woods, Cancer. The planet of action is settling into Libra and your sector of home, so your family is definitely on your mind. Maybe you’re choosing to redecorate your home—Libra’s Venusian energy is perfect for that—or simply trying to recalibrate your work/life balance to allocate more time to the latter.

Leo You’re just full of ideas this week, Leo. With Mars in Libra crossing into your sector of communication and thought processes, there’s not a problem that you can’t solve. Remember to pass the mic, though! Fortunately, Thursday’s Venus trine to Pluto may bring you back down to earth.

Virgo As Mars marches into Libra, this week sprinkles your musings with a dash of luxury, Virgo. But that’s okay! The last few weeks have seen you intensely focused on your presentation—who you are and how you feel about

You’ll probably be feeling yourself heavily this week, Libra. Mars joins Mercury in your zone of appearance and self. You might be feeling like it’s time for a change—maybe a new hair color or if you’re feeling particularly daring, a piercing.

Scorpio This week may find you rolling in the deep, Scorpio. On Tuesday, Mars creeps into Libra and your sector of secrets and the unconscious. Some inner turmoil may be in the forecast for the next few weeks. But fear not! We all experience a little rain before the sunshine, and Thursday, things brighten up for a bit.

Sagittarius You’ve been putting in that work, Sagittarius. With the sun’s trine to Pluto in Capricorn on Thursday, your boss and coworkers will be recognizing the massive efforts that you’ve been making. Been feeling a little lacking in support? Have no fear! With Mars’ entrance into Libra and your social sector, your network will begin to grow over the next few weeks.

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.

The street address or other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1200 PUNTA GORDA ST., SANTA BARBARA, CA 93101 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 is an “AS IS” condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the 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 the Deed of Trust, to wit: $1,468,364.29 (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. 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 916-939-0772 or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 0125002110. 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. For sales conducted after January 1, 2021: 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 916939-0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 0125002110 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. This property which is subject to this Notice of Sale does not fall within the purview of California Civil Code Section 2923.5.

Rabbits with bonded mates adopted out together BUNS

Continued from Page B1 At one point, a white rabbit ran and jumped, then turned in the air, landing gently and, without missing a beat, running in another direction. It was unstoppable. “That is a very happy bunny,” Ms. Crestfield said. “That is what we call a binky. That means the bunny is very happy. “If they jump up and do that twist, that’s the ultimate happiness bunny,” she said. “We let a couple of them out (at a time), and we let them run around and greet people,” Ms. Crestfield said. “Then we put those back and let a couple more out so they can have a lot of exercise.” Ms. Crestfield has been a volunteer at the shelter for more than five years and clearly loves being with the bunnies. “I like this environment. I like working with bunnies,” Ms. Crestfield said, just before a dog barked briefly from the Animal Services shelter next to BUNS. “It’s a calm place to work, except when the dogs are barking.” She introduced the News-Press to various rabbits, like the lightbrown colored Toffee. He’s a palomino and harlequin mix and has large, dramatic eyes. He was a little surprised when the volunteer picked him up for the News-Press to photograph.

“Are you OK? You’re not sure. You don’t know me, but you’re being a good bun-bun,” Ms. Crestfield told Toffee in a soft voice. “It’s OK, baby.” Her gentle approach and smile reassured Toffee, and he was soon comfortable with her and with being photographed. “Bunnies are prey animals so they’re a little bit afraid when somebody has them,” Ms. Crestfield said. She led the way past other rabbits, such as Bo Peep, who was apparently counting sheep during a nap. She pointed to a pair of bonded rabbits, Humpty Dumpty and Rumpelstiltskin. Irika, a Florida white mix rabbit, was perfectly calm when Ms. Crestfield picked her up. “She’s really sweet,” Ms. Crestfield said as she held her. She noted Irika needs to be adopted with her bonded mate, Lief, a black Havana rabbit who isn’t as friendly as Irika. “I think if he got to know somebody, he would be fine,” Ms. Crestfield said. There’s no doubt that the volunteer cares deeply about the rabbits around her, and they seem to respond well to her. “It’s nice to take care of these guys because they need it,” Ms. Crestfield said while the bunnies kept hopping. email: dmason@newspress.com
