Mobile home park resists proposed ordinances Litigation anticipated between City and Flamingo Mobile Home Park owners

Council to mull vacancy control for mobile home parks By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Flamingo Mobile Home Park in Santa Barbara’s Eastside has 69 units, most of which are owner-occupied.

The owners of Flamingo Mobile Home Park, located in Santa Barbara’s Eastside, feel targeted by two proposed ordinances, the owners’ attorney James Ballantine told the News-Press. The City of Santa Barbara Planning Commission acknowledged the likelihood of a lawsuit as it approved an ordinance that could lock senior mobile home parks into their 55+ status. The second ordinance, which the City Council will discuss Tuesday, adds a 10% vacancy control to mobile home parks. It was introduced during seniorpark discussions. The City Council passed an interim urgency ordinance in December to maintain the status quo at senior parks. To the city’s knowledge, Flamingo Mobile Home Park is the only senior park. Pacific Current Partners, California-based mobile-home and RV park investors, bought the park in 2018. In November of 2020, the owners sent a notice to residents: the park would no longer be a senior park and is opening available spaces to all ages. Residents of the park asked for the City to intervene to keep the park as a safe haven for lowincome seniors. Please see MOBILE on A4

The Santa Barbara City Council is considering amending an ordinance to enact 10% vacancy control atop rent control in mobile home parks. Vacancy control limits a park owner from raising the rent of the space/land when a new tenant takes possession of the mobile home on the space. In the proposed ordinance, the rent could only increase up to 10% when someone new moves in. Santa Barbara County has 10% vacancy control. Park owners can’t raise the rent on existing tenants. The current ordinance restricts raises above “three-quarters of the percentage increase in the Consumers Price Index since the date of the last rent increase” or 3% annually. The proposed ordinance maintains the pre-existing rent control. Property owners often use a change in possession to increase rental income where rent control has restricted desired increases in the past. The new law would mirror the city’s 1984 mobile home ordinance, which a judge in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled too strict. The court’s decision was that the regulation removes too much of the owner’s control. The City Attorney’s Office believes a 1992 case out of Escondido overrules the previous verdict. The city wrote an arbitration provision. It would allow owners to ask for leniency in order to get a return on their investment, though the profit owners are entitled to is ambiguous. Residents may also seek arbitration if they believe the property owners aren’t complying. The owners of Flamingo Mobile Home Park feel the proposed ordinance is a second attack on their business plan, the park’s attorney James Ballantine told the News-Press. The owners met with City Attorney Ariel Calonne and Ordinance Committee Chair Mike Jordan and gave suggestions. They said the proposed ordinance would restrict their return on investment. The owners’ first proposal was that they would honor each homeowner’s initial purchase price when they offer to buy a resident’s home if the city did not enact vacancy control and allowed annual rent increases up to 5%. The second suggestion was 20% vacancy control and rent increases of at least 6%. Mr. Ballantine said the owners did not receive input after the proposals and did not hear back from the city. City staff did not recommend either alternative to the council. He believes the city is not protecting affordable housing, as he has seen many homes on lots with rent and vacancy control sell for more than comparable homes. Flamingo Mobile Home Park residents have expressed concerns that the new owners intend to buy up the homes and rent them to tenants. Council will discuss the proposed changes during its meeting Tuesday at 2 p.m. The full agenda is available at santabarbaraca.gov/cap. The meeting will be broadcast live on City TV Channel 18 and online at santabarbaraca.gov/cap.

Chaucer’s to present author of young adult books By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Sharon Cameron, author of acclaimed young adult books, will discuss her latest one, “The Light In Hidden Places,” at 7 p.m. Oct. 12 during a virtual talk hosted by Chaucer’s books.

Ms. Cameron’s “The Light in Hidden Place” is a thriller set in 1946. Eva is leaving behind the rubble of Berlin for the streets of New York City, where she continues to hold the key to a deadly secret: Project Bluebird. “It’s a horrific experiment of the concentration camps, capable of tipping the balance of world power,” according to a news release. “Both the Americans and the Soviets want Bluebird, and it is something that neither should ever be allowed to possess.” But Eva isn’t interested in power. She has come to the U.S. to bring an escaped Nazi to justice.

Warriors volleyball team back to winning five blocks each. Krueger also recorded three blocks. “Lilian has done a fantastic job in that role,” said McGolpin. “She’s giving us positional versatility, and it’s not going unnoticed. We knew they were primarily going to be feeding the same areas and our guys were ready for it at the net. They’re a good-sized team, and we still did a really good job at shutting their outside hitters down.” After a four-game road trip, the Warriors finally return home Friday night when they welcome William Jessup into Murchison Gym. First serve is scheduled for 7 p.m., and tickets are available at athletics.westmont.edu. “We knew September was going to be grueling,” McGolpin said. “We have nine home matches left as opposed to just four away matches moving forward. Anything can happen in GSAC, so we just need to keep our head above water and keep grinding every day.” Jacob Norling is the Westmont College sports information assistant. email: dmason@newspress.com

Warriors compete in The Master’s Invitational By JACOB NORLING WESTMONT COLLEGE WRITER

Daniel Rubin finished 30th in the race with a time of 26:04.09, while Caleb Mettler was the next Warrior to cross the finish line with a time of 26:29.1. Rounding out the topfive for Westmont was Adam King with a time of 26:38.9, and Ryan Daedler with a time of 27:18.2. “The men were short-handed, but nonetheless remained competitive,” said Head Coach Russell Smelley. “The team ran credibly enough to be considered for national ranking, and when all are healthy, I think they are capable of being a top-20 NAIA team.” “I’d also like to give a special nod to Simeon Michelson, who finished his first race in more than two years after a long spell of rehab to manage his foot issues.” Michelson finished his first race in two years with a time of 34:38.3. Both teams are back in action on Oct. 9 in Claremont, when they head down to compete in the Pomona-Pitzer Invitational.

SANTA CLARITA — Westmont’s cross country teams were back in action Saturday in Santa Clarita, where they competed in The Master’s Invitational in Central Park. As a team, the women took fifth place in the collegiate invite event with two finishers in the top-20, and fourth in the collegiate open, with four runners in the top-20. The men took seventh place in the collegiate invite with their highest finisher coming in 11th. Leading the way for the women’s team during the invitational was Anneline Breytenbach, who finished the race 11th overall with a time of 18:11.6. Behind Breytenbach was Kari Anema, who finished 18th overall in the race with a time of 18:29.6. Coming in 24th overall was Madden Hundley with a time of 18:43.7, followed by Abigail Hundley who finished in 33rd with a time of 19:02.1. Rounding out the top for the women’s team was Callie Guthrie who completed the race in 19:14.2. “The women’s team ran well against nationally ranked teams The Master’s and

Embry Riddle,” said coach Lindsey Connolly. “Callie Guthrie ran a valiant race to close up our top five. The 1-5 team spread of 1:03 is a big improvement from two weeks ago, showing that the runners are working together as they move up throughout the race. “ During the open, Abigail Edwards finished first for the club with a time of 21:22.7, followed by freshman Lauren Wanner with a time of 22:17.5. Lauren’s sister Ana Wanner finished two places later with a time of 22:31.2, and freshman Emily Wheeler came in soon after with a time of 23:12.5. Mags Holleran rounded out the first-five with a time of 23:30.7. “This was the first race for the majority of the team, and there was a determined effort across the board. Despite being in a later race and much warmer temperatures, the women showed impressive grit and their efforts were inspirational to their teammates. On the men’s side of things, Zola Sokhela was the lone Warrior to finish in the top 20. The reigning two-time Outdoor Track and Field national champion (800, 1500) completed his first collegiate cross country race in 25:09.7, good enough for a 12th place finish.

little to slow down the Warriors. Westmont led 11-0 before a Royals kill got the home team on the board. After the score was 12-4 in favor of Westmont, the Warriors went on another 11-0 run to take a 23-4 advantage. In the end, Minch’s game-high 14th kill of the match gave the Warriors a 25-7 win in set three and a clean sweep over Hope International. At the end of the night, Westmont recorded 48 kills with an attack percentage of .337, while the Warriors held Hope International to 19 kills in 107 attempts. While Minch led the club in kills, Terlizzi was able to join her in double-digits with 11 of her own. “Jessie had that look in her eye tonight,” McGolpin said. “We recruited her not just because she has a fast arm swing, but because she’s a gamer. It’s that grit and willingness to do whatever it takes that makes her different. She was like that for us all last year, and we’re going to need it night in and night out.” Defensively, Lilian Reininga led the way with 18 digs, while Brown and Malone both recorded

FULLERTON — Westmont (107, 4-2) got back on track Saturday, sweeping Hope International (410, 0-5) to snap a short two-game losing streak. The Warriors volleyball team was in control all night long, winning the match by a score of 25-14, 25-18 and 25-6. “What made me most proud is how we came out with a sense of urgency,” said Westmont head coach Ruth McGolpin. “Tonight (Saturday) we looked composed and fired up to play from the start, and that’s the effort we’re going to need every night from here on out.” The clubs began the first set in an 8-8 tie before a kill by Sara Krueger and two kills from Phoebe Minch gave Westmont an 11-8 advantage. Later, consecutive kills by Audrey Brown built the lead to 15-10, and two kills from Jessie Terlizzi built it to 18-12. Eventually, an attacking error by Hope International gave Westmont the 25-14 win to open the night. The Warriors did not commit a single service

or reception error during the opening set. Lexi Malone’s fourth kill of the match gave Westmont a 6-2 lead to start the second set. From there, the lead continued to expand. Minch’s sixth kill of the match stretched the lead to 12-5, and later her eighth kill stretched it even further to 16-8. Terlizzi’s eighth kill widened the lead to 20-12, before Brown’s seventh made it 21-13. The Warriors spread the wealth in the second set, and ultimately won the game 25-18 on Terlizzi’s ninth finish of the night. At the end of two sets, the Warriors had 34 kills in 75 attempts, making for a .320 attack percentage. “I told the setters that we needed to diversify the offense,” noted McGolpin, “and when you look at the box score, we did just that. We showed a little bit more of a complex offense and our outside hitters were tearing it up.” In the third set, everything fell the Warriors’ way. The score was already 8-0 in favor of Westmont by the time that Hope International took their first timeout, and the stoppage did

Santa Barbara’s Drew DeLozier, Xan Tassos and Andreas Dybdahl race Friday at the Racer Invitational in Oxnard, where the Dons took first among the 14 teams.

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

The Santa Barbara boys cross country team placed first Friday among the 14 teams at the Raider Invitational at College Park in Oxnard. Santa Barbara had a score of 36. Cross-town rivals San Marcos placed second with a score of 76, followed by Foothill Tech in third with 80 points. (In cross country, the lowest score wins.) “The guys keep pushing each other and grouping up near the front of races,” Coach Olivia Perdices told the News-Press in an email. “It’s incredibly satisfying to watch them elevate each other. Our scorers were sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and 11th and ... only separated by 23 seconds!” “Blaise Snow led the way in 15:55, followed by Oliver Levine in 16:04, Andreas Dybdahl in 16:05, Xan Tassos in 16:06 and Drew DeLozier in 16:18. Race winner Camilo Torres of Fillmore ran 15:26,” Perdices said. The Santa Barbara girls cross country team finished 11th with 231 points. Ridley DeSoto was the top finisher for the Dons in 18th at 20:51. “Ridley keeps steadily improving,” Perdices said. “She’s just a sophomore who didn’t get a chance to run in anything but duals last season. “We had some key girls out today with some little illnesses and injuries that we wanted to be cautious with and get right before league next week,” Perdices said Friday. The cross country team’s next match is Channel League Mid Season Mert Wednesday at River Park in Lompoc.

LARGE CROWD SEES GAUCHO VICTORY A crowd of 8,000 fans cheered Saturday night as the UCSB men’s soccer team defeated Cal Poly at the Gauchos’ Harder Stadium.

The 2-0 victory over the Mustangs came after a couple of goals by UCSB sophomore attacker Finn Ballard McBride. “I’m excited to have won tonight,” UCSB Head Coach Tim Von Steeg said Saturday in a news release. “It felt like we hadn’t done this in a long time to be honest — lots of people, Cal Poly, it was lots of excitement.”

UCSB WINS TWICE IN VOLLEYBALL UCSB defeated UC San Diego 3-1 during the Big West opener Friday in volleyball at the Gauchos’ Thunderdome. UC San Diego took the first set 25-20, but UCSB won the next three — 25-14, 25-19 and 25-18. The Gauchos’ Abrielle Bross led the way with 14 kills and a .406 hitting percentage. Deni Wilson and Tasia Farmer had 10 kills each. Wilson also had six blocks and a .476 hitting percentage. Macall Peed led all the players with 22 digs and had a clean slate on the reception end, according to a news release. On Saturday, the Gauchos won again, this time against UC Irvine at the Thunderdome. The Gauchos had a whopping 50 kills and took all three sets — 2520, 25-17 and 25-16. Tallulah Froley had 14 of those kills, with a .478 attack percentage. Bross had 13 kills. Mehana Ma’a led the Gauchos in assists with 22. UCSB heads to Cal Poly on Friday, followed by a road trip to Cal State Bakersfield on Saturday.

DOS PUEBLOS The Dos Pueblos football team beat cross-town rivals San Marcos 17-7 Saturday in an away game. The Royals’ touchdowns were made by senior wide receiver Osiris Fox, who had a 50-yard pass play, and junior middle linebacker David Buso.

With nine seconds left in the second quarter, junior kicker Greg Tripathi scored a 38-yard field goal. Besides his rushing touchdown, Buso made 10 tackles. In an email to the News-Press, Coach A.J. Pateras praised the Royals’ defense, which kept San Marcos scoreless for the last three quarters. The Royals are now 2-3 for the season.

DOS PUEBLOS SINKS LA SERNA The Dos Pueblos boys water polo team defeated La Serna 6-4 Saturday in a home match. The Chargers led 4-3 at the half and improved its lead to 5-3 in the third quarter. Brody Luke had 4 goals and 2 field blocks. Aiden Trager had 9 saves in goal. “We got off to a slow start in the first quarter,” Coach Bryan Snyder told the News-Press in an email. “We had a couple defensive breakdowns that led to three goals for them (La Serna). After that, we really clamped down defensively and shut them out for the next two quarters. “Overall our defense was great, and we really did a great job of translating what we worked on in practice into the game and it showed today,” Snyder said. “I’m really proud of the boys for this effort.”

ANACAPA’ S VICTORY IN OJAI A trip to Ojai Saturday — along with inspired teamwork — paid off for Anacapa School, which defeated Oak Grove there in five suspenseful sets of volleyball. The ultimate winner wouldn’t be known until the fifth set. Anacapa took the first set 25-12, but lost the second set and third sets 25-27 and 20-25. In the fourth set, Anacapa senior Julia Minor and sophomore Allegra Cullen, who led Anacapa

with 6 aces, worked long serve streaks that led to a 25-14 victory for their school. Now it was time for the decisive fifth set, which went back and forth between the two teams. But an unfazed senior, Anacapa’s Clarissa Sanchez, “rallied off six impressive serves to lead the Islands Foxes to victory 1614 in the fifth set,” Coach Jacob Pepper told the News-Press in an email. “Freshman Blake Hurst played solid all over the court for Anacapa, leading Anacapa with 2 kills and 4 aces.” On Saturday, Anacapa will be on the road again to take on Midland School in Los Olivos. email: dmason@newspress.com

Mobile homes peek over vegetation-lined fences.

Ordinance modeled after measure enacted in Yucaipa MOBILE

Continued from Page A1 Some were worried the primarily owner-occupied park will slowly be bought by Pacific Current Partners and become a neighborhood of rentals. Mr. Ballantine told the NewsPress the transition to a rental park is “not unusual” for owners. He also said that no residents spoke up in opposition of an allages park during the owners’ time to meet and confer with residents. The owners believe that since the City Council enacted an ordinance after the park sent a notice and met with residents, Flamingo should not be currently considered a senior

park. The City’s position is that the conversion was stopped because the interim urgency ordinance was established during a sixmonth waiting period, Assistant City Attorney Tava Ostrenger told the Planning Commission. She modeled the ordinance after the City of Yucaipa’s senior mobile home park overlay, which was upheld by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in 2012. “I guess I just feel it’s an awkward place to be in as the planning commission,” commissioner Barrett Reed said. “This is ultimately council’s decision, but it seems like the city is going to have an imminent legal challenge here, and it would just be a shame to have another lost lawsuit.”

Mr. Ballantine criticized the city’s approach to the overlay. He alleged the city did not verify that Flamingo qualified as a senior park and that other parks were not properly identified. Ms. Ostrenger could not find an official list of senior parks, so the City sent notices for other mobile home parks to reach out if they qualify as a senior park. No one came forward. Despite the threat of litigation, the proposed ordinance was approved unanimously. “I have spoken to many seniors in the course of this year, and even prior, and they are so afraid of finding themselves homeless,” Planning Commission Chair Deborah Schwartz said. “Many of them do not have families that can take them in for one reason or

another. “And as we’ve grappled with homelessness, it’s a broad discussion, a broad concern. Our Planning Commission can do its part in trying to prevent that.” Vice Chair Gabriel Escobedo addressed the risk but felt “comfortable with Ms. Ostrenger’s explanation.” “In terms of protecting the most vulnerable in our community, this is where the city should be making a stand. This is where we do put ourselves out there if we were to,” he said. The proposed ordinance must pass the Ordinance Committee and City Council to become permanent. The temporary ordinance expires Dec. 14. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Foster care needed for puppies Santa Barbara Humane seeks homes for four-month-old huskies recovering from Parvo

Alfredo is among the puppies, all of whom were transferred to Santa Barbara Humane from a local shelter partner.

Pesto is among the puppies recovering from Parvo and awaiting urgent foster care at the Santa Maria campus of Santa Barbara humane.

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

To provide foster care for Aioli and the other puppies, contact Santa Barbara Humane at 805-964-4777, ext. 2, or email foster@sbhumane.org.

Three husky puppies are awaiting a foster home at the Santa Maria campus of Santa Barbara Humane. Their need is urgent. “The puppies are recovering from Parvo, a potentially deadly virus, that is being treated successfully,” said Dori Villalon, the Santa Barbara Humane chief operating officer. Ms. Villalon said foster care will help the four-month-old dogs greatly

in their recovery. The puppies — Alfredo, Aioli, Ponzu and Pesto (three females and one male in the litter) — were transferred to Santa Barbara Humane from a local shelter partner so that they could receive proper medical treatment. A home was found for Ponzu. “Donor funds make it possible for animals to receive medical care, whether they are awaiting adoption or are owned by members of the community,” Ms. Villalon said. The ideal scenario is a foster-to-

adopt arrangement for those ready for the puppies to become part of their family, according to Santa Barbara Humane. Interested fosters and adopters can contact the shelter at 805964-4777, ext. 2, or email foster@ sbhumane.org. Medical care will be provided for these puppies, including their spay/ neuter surgery, initial vaccines and microchipping once they have fully healed in one to two weeks. Santa Barbara Humane operates two campuses, one in Goleta and the

other in Santa Maria. Both campuses are known for their affordable veterinary care, compassionate behavior training programs and a relinquishment program for owners who can no longer care for their pets. Homeless animals receive medical care, shelter and basic behavior training until their adoption. For more information, go to sbhumane.org. email: dmason@newspress.com

CIO Solutions president moves into world of nonprofits By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Russ Levanway, the CIO Solutions president, has been named the new vice president of Regional Economic Action Coalition, known as REACH. The coalition is a nonprofit involving public, private and civic leaders on the Central Coast. With the new position, Mr. Levanway is starting a gradual transition from his corporate job to his new one in the world of nonprofits. “Many of you likely know Russ from his years of business and community leadership in the region, and we are thrilled to welcome him to the REACH team for this next chapter of his career,” REACH said in a news release. Melissa James, the REACH president and CEO, praised Mr. Levanway. “Russ emerged from a

competitive field of candidates as a community-minded leader with firsthand knowledge of the needs of Central Coast businesses, a genuine passion to serve the region, and the ability to work collaboratively to get big things done,” she said. “We look forward to the caring and thoughtful approach he brings to advancing the REACH mission.” Mr. Levanway explained why he decided to dedicate himself full time to the world of nonprofits. “I’ve felt a strong pull to give back to the community where I built my business over 16 years,” he said.“So many of us have faced the pain points and challenges of running a business, and I’m eager to join this impressive team effort helping companies across the Central Coast become successful job creators and propel the region’s economy forward.” Mr. Levanway founded TekTegrity in 2005, growing it

into an information technology company twice recognized on the Inc. 5000 list. He completed four acquisitions and the sale of TekTegrity to CIO Solutions in 2018, staying on as president to oversee a successful integration of the two companies throughout the Central Valley and Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. “When CIO Solutions acquired TekTegrity four years ago, and I remained as president after 12 years with the latter company while Eric Egolf continued his role of CEO, it was with the goal of successfully merging both teams to provide better service to our clients,” Mr. Levanway explained. “TekTegrity moved under the company mantle of ‘CIO Solutions.’ “Since then, we have successfully completed some major mutual milestones that were key to the success of the alliance between CIO &

TekTegrity,” Mr. Levanway continued. “Biggest among those was a true integration of our companies — culturally, as well as merging our leadership teams, operations, and our joint way of doing things. “I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and feel that I have completed my combined 16-year mission with both companies. I’m ready to give back to the community in a new way and plan to slowly transition into a new role over several months starting in November — to work on the team of a local nonprofit that is focused on regional economic development,” he said. “It’s a winwin all the way around.” Mr. Egolf praised Mr. Levanway. “CIO Solutions inherited a strong management team from Russ and TekTegrity,” Mr. Egolf said, “one that merged well with our own team. The group

is now one cohesive whole — a unified company of people who share a similar passion for IT Management, with a solid focus on community. “We are thrilled that we have reached a collective point where Russ can now continue the journey he has wanted for a long time — to use his talents in the nonprofit world while letting the team he helped develop at CIO Solutions take the company to new heights,” Mr. Egolf said in a news release. In addition to his leadership at CIO Solutions, Mr. Levanway has served as board chair and in other high-level roles at the San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce and the Central Coast Software and Technology Association (Softec), as well as nonprofits including Friends of the Prado Day Center and Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Encyclopedia Britannica offers a look into early-20th century beliefs

J

.P. has 29,000 pages of a major book. Yes, he has the Encyclopedia Britannica, the famed Eleventh Edition (1910-1911), the best encyclopedia ever to own. He found it at Goodwill! Let’s look at why it is a treasure, and some of this story involves culturally obsolete beliefs. J.P.’s 29-volume set is a slice of history, not so ancient, but ever so dated. But what a feat of scholarship! And here is why it is important in the history of dictionary-type knowledge. It contained everything you needed to know if you were alive in 1910. Sir Kenneth Clark, who I studied with, said of this edition that “one leaps from one subject to another, fascinated by the idiosyncrasies of the authors as by their facts and dates. It must be that last encyclopedia in the tradition of Diderot which assumes that information can be made memorable only when slightly colored by prejudice.” When we hear a British accent or hear of British scholarship, we believe what’s said. And there is a history to that notion. This 11th edition was the last to be produced from England, although many scholars contributed from the U.S. and Canada. It was the last of its kind before the devastation of the two world wars. It was — and is — a cultural artifact. When this encyclopedia was edited, the British Empire was indeed an empire, and monarchs were true rulers (kings were on their thrones). And furthermore, the 11th edition was the basis for all later versions of the Encyclopedia Britannica until its 15th edition was published in 1974. Scholars whose names you know wrote articles for this edition: John Muir, Swinburne, Huxley, Ernest Rutherford and Bertrand Russell. Thirty-four female

scholars contributed, and today it is reproduced as the Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia. The 11th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica is indeed a product of its time. Lest we think we are “above” cultural currents, as one turns pages through pages, one might guiltily feel that we today might be influenced as well by the state of our times. Here are some famous examples of what can be found in the 1911 edition: • The American War of Independence was largely won because “the U.S. population had good English Blood and Instincts.” • Various diseases were not helped by the diet or vitamins in food because vitamins had not yet been discovered. • The preponderance of articles

deal with world geography, and less than half of the volumes’ entries have to do with science or technology. • When I myself read the entry on “Psychology,” the editors did not mention Freud or Jung. Too outré for the taste. • This edition marks a first in the publishing history of encyclopedias. After this edition was first conceived in 1903, articles were edited as long as the book was in production. The result was the first part of the alphabet was being more highly edited than the latter. • Because the encyclopedia had offices in New York and London, the book was dedicated to King George V and President William Howard Taft. In spite of the edition’s obvious

flaws and shudder- inducting pronouncements, this 11th edition was published by the venerable Cambridge University Press. But in the mid-1920s, it was sold to Sears Roebuck and Co., and for good or ill widely disseminated in America in a publication not so fancy and not bound in leather, called the “Handy Volume Issue.” What is so prescient in the age of COVID cross-border research is that for this 11th edition, many scholars worked together, even though they often disagreed. Because there was so much discussion, it was deemed necessary to offer new insights in an annual “yearbook.” And

thankfully, another publisher bought the rights from Sears, and it returned to a scholarly publication. But the innovations of the 11th edition are such that the entire set reads like a dictionary. The last volume — the 29th volume — is an index of authorcontributors, listing their names and “ranks.” They varied from academica to the church, the military, the business sector to the sciences. After that, the 29th volume features the innovation of a cross-referenced index, done by hand and mind, mainly by female editors. The value of such a 29-volume

set, in good condition, as opposed to other encyclopedias (which are not worth much), is $2,000. But what a treasure as an insight into what the world thought in 1910-1911! 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.

SUDOKU

HOROSCOPE Aries — Now, looking before you leap isn’t your specialty, Aries. You’re a doer. We know this and love you for it. However, with Mercury retrograde in your sector of relationships and partnerships for the next few weeks, it would behoove you to pause before speaking. Verbally popping off could have heartbreaking consequences if you aren’t careful. Taurus — You’re a creature of habit, Taurus, but Monday’s Mercury in retrograde is coming to throw those well-established habits for a loop. Unfortunately, the retrograde trickster planet falls into your zone of routines and may unbalance things for the next few weeks. Gemini — You okay, Gemini? I imagine it must be a little rough with your ruling planet in retrograde and in your creativity and pleasure sector to boot. It’s giving major creative block energy, but you’re used to a little chaos, right? Fortunately, Sunday’s astro-weather comes to the rescue, gifting backwards Mercury with a comfortable trine with Jupiter and more than a few new ideas. Cancer — The retrograde trickster planet has waltzed into your family sector, Cancer. You strive for tranquility in your home, but Mercury may make that ideal difficult to achieve over the next few weeks. If anyone knows how to smooth over domestic discord, it’s you. Leo — The next few weeks will definitely make for some interesting times, Leo. As of Monday, the planet of communication has gone retrograde in your sector of communication. For the sake of not mincing words (as they’re certainly tricky at this time), I’ll limit my advice to the following: watch your mouth. Virgo — Much like Gemini, your ruling planet, Mercury, has gone into retrograde, Virgo. To make matters worse, it goes into a square with Pluto on Friday, implying some tension between your love life and your desire for transformation. Full disclosure: the beginning of this week may not be the smoothest for you. However, Jupiter comes to the rescue of Sunday, trining poor, beleaguered Mercury and expanding your horizons. Libra — Mercury in Libra is beginning its cha-cha slide

backwards in your sector of self and appearances. For the next few weeks, everything may not be what it seems—both for yourself and others. You may find that your usual charm may be coming through a less-than-flattering filter. Scorpio — Feeling a little withdrawn, Scorpio? This Mercury retrograde falls in your sector of secrets and the unseen, so the murky waters of your unconscious may seem a little murkier than usual. To add to the emotional confusion, Venus in your sign squares Jupiter at the end of the week. Intensity is your love language, but watch out for greater displays than usual from yourself as well as your partner. Sagittarius — Since Mercury has been in Libra and your network sector, you’ve been enjoying a bit of a friendship renaissance, Sagittarius. The retrograde says, “hello,” and reminds you to be a little more sensitive in your dealings with your nearest and dearest. It’s a well-known fact that Sagittarians and verbal filters aren’t exactly peas in a pod. Capricorn — I’m sure this is probably that last thing that you want to hear, Capricorn, but it may be a good idea to be (impossibly) more aware where your career is concerned over the next few weeks. Trickster Mercury goes retrograde on Monday right in your career sector and is itching to cause trouble. You know that report that you’ve been working on? Be sure to triple-check the figures. Aquarius — Watch out, Aquarius! Mercury retrograde has doubled back right into your sector of philosophy and higher education. If you’re in college, be on the lookout for difficulties where due dates and projects are concerned. For those of you who are free of the clutches of formal education, beware of obstinance where your belief system is concerned. Pisces — Watch your pocket, Pisces. On Monday, Mercury slides into retrograde in your sector of intimacy and finances, possibly heralding a few weeks of major financial fluctuations. Set a little something aside from your next few paychecks if you can. Preparation is key. Fortunately for you, Venus makes a sweet trine with Neptune in your sign on Saturday.

Thought for Today

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 Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed 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, to-wit: $21,256,406.61 (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. The Beneficiary may elect to bid less than the full credit bid. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located and more than three months have elapsed since such recordation. 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. 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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Lender, or the Trustee. 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 (626) 579-5350 or visit www. superiordefault.com, using the file number assigned to this case 20-05-911. 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: 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 (626) 579-5350, or visit this internet website www.superiordefault.com, using the file number assigned to this case 20-05-911 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation in shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. 09/16/2021 Lender’s Foreclosure Services, As Trustee _______________________________________ Louisa Zavala, Trustee’s Sale Officer SEP 20, 27; OCT 4 / 2021 -- 57571
